truman wrote about it a lot i.he was more than a little bit angry but he also knew that this is how business was conducted in kansas city. . at one point, he wrote in a private diary, i wonder if i did write to put a lot of no accounts's on the payroll and pay other ones more money for supplies than they were worth. . the operative phrase being -- he used all kinds of gymnastics to justify such decisions. once again, asking himself in these private diaries am i a fool, am i unethical giant. and maya koch to compromise in order to get the job done. looking for an answer from now in particular, he concluded, i can't. truman came by this angsty honestly. he knew he needed the machine. . how much the machine needed ham was more than an open question. as he approach the end of his term on the county court, he was closing in on 50 prospects for his post-political career. looked uncertain at best. he made it known to boss tom that he was interested in the nomination for governor in 1932. pendergrass elected another candid

clifton truman daniel honorary chairman of the truman library institute and board secretary for the truman scholarship fund. thank you, madam speaker. senator blunt. congressman cleaver. leader mcconnell. leader mccarthy. family. friends. and thank you again, senator blunt. and congressman cleaver and chairman pat ottensmeyer on the board of the truman library institute. alex burden and the institute staff, dr. kurt graham and the library and the generous donors friends, supporters, lawmakers who helped make this day possible. my grandfather was a modest man and frankly, slightly embarrassed statues. his presidential library is an education institution rather than a monument to him, but we're here with us today. he would be honored and humbled. he loved the united of america. he loved the work of government. he loved this very building. he took the job seriously, but never himself. he was open, approachable, as tom corbin excellent statue depicts. he has been called an uncommon common man of all his accomplishment. the marshall plan naito the truman doctrine. the disfigured of the armed se

and so he had, he went to truman, and truman signed. this was a mistake, harry truman.and then dewey, the only one he signed, it said, it sure was! thomas dewey. but truman did sign, he was in missouri when he got one of these papers. he signed it. the photograph came from a newspaper itself. he signed many of these. really briefly, how come dewey didn't defeat truman? >> because truman got more votes. [laughs] >> okay, that's easy enough. >> really, was it wasn't even close! that was the interesting thing about it. it wasn't even close. truman won -- he lost in congress in 46. terrible, terrible defeat, a vote of no confidence, almost. in 1948 he got the senate and the house back, along with winning the presidency. it was a great victory for him. that paper is really, that's a beautiful copy you have. the copy of the truman library is more beat up nowadays. and there are very, very few of them. as you said they were just sent out to the suburbs. the very early additions, you're right. >> you know, there are going to be fewer as time goes on. the paper, newspapers are a

and the gallery, truman indication as or about the truman an interactive it creation of the store. and also several interactive to explore what truman did afterwards had goes to today's conductor pretty now we navigate to the party politics in independence, missouri and he is the director is a kansas city public library in 2020, so i mentioned it nearly 17 years in kansas city, and history professor and rise to social renovation and innovation of the college of arts and sciences and is kansas city era, and probably does not know this, we have the honor of being one of the stars of the institute last program before the pandemic began predict it was a wonderful evening celebrated with anniversary of truman and of course his son and is going to have you back with us today john herron. >> thank you very much and thank you for joining us today and as she just mentioned, this library, had a career that kansas city, my office, it was the original campus building. i was on the third floor, a small courtyard overlook an expansive campus going to see the exact spot in the summer of 1945, tru

do we and truman and so he had it went to truman and truman signed it. this a mistake harry truman. and then dewey the only one he signed. he said it sure was thomas doing but but truman did sign it was in missouri when this when he got one of these papers and he signed this the photographs this came from a newspaper itself, and he signed many of these really briefly. how come do we didn't treat defeat truman? oh, see what because drew got more votes. okay, that's easy enough. you know, really it really was it wasn't even close. that was the interesting thing about it. it wasn't even close truman. i mean the truman got triple one. he lost congress in 46 terrible terrible defeat of almost a vote of confidence or dope a vote of no confidence and in 1948. he got the senate in-house track along with winning the presidency. it was it was it was it was a great a great victory for him and and that paper is really that's a beautiful copy you have i the copy of the truman libraries sort of more sort of beat up than that one is and they're very very few of them because as you said they were t

truman was aware of that as well. i think it's more of a stylistic comparison and an example of a shock to the system if you take president obama and his harvard education you take franklin roosevelt with his bay nature and harvard education. suddenly it's flipped over its a shock to the system. i think it is an excellent point spent a good amount of time spent thinking about over the last couple of years, how that was a shock to americans reading their newspaper in listening to their radio saying who even is this guy in what is happening here? and he is in charge and we are at war. it kind of came to a head later times some part of what came to a head because the supreme court nominee as he began to nominate his friends. >> was a brings us to tom clark, one of his friends. he nominated tom clark to be attorney general of the president of the united states. tom clark, at the time was a year older than i am now. i am 44 now he was 45 at the time. clark admin and unexceptional law student and came to washington by accid

harry truman turned on his head. for the first time, we had a president who was using not just the supreme court, but the federal judiciary. he took full control of the door department of justice to push his policies. that is what we expect in both parties in the united states. that is what we expect from our presidents and presidential nominees. >> it seemed like it almost came out of necessity because of the state that the court wasn't at the time. can you set the stage for us? you know, go back to the end of the roosevelt administration. what was happening on the court that made this a special circumstance? >> franklin roosevelt, unlike truman's nominees to the court, franklin roosevelt's nominees are well known by many americans. certainly by anyone who has suffered their way through law school. there were these profound jurist's. they were giant pillars of the law. they did not like each other. perhaps that goes hand in hand. they did not get long. it was not just a matter of ideology, which it was. they agreed

any undercut the truman administration. what he did was made it clear there'd be no length between korea and foremost that which upset the truman administration. but truman was stuck with that macarthur had announced. kit clearly by lay truman administration had called for. in december of 1950, truman had issued an order to make no announcement on policy without government concurrence. truman reminded macarthur of that statement that came out of the department of defense. and in classic macarthur fashion he completely ignored it. then joseph martin the house minority leader wrote to macarthur and sent him a speech that he had given and which he argued that if the united states was not going to be in it for full victory than the truman administration should be indicted for the murder of thousands of american men. and asked macarthur to comment on that. macarthur wrote back and this was a red in the halls of congress, quote my views and recommendations with respect to the situation created by read china's entry into the war a

he undercut truman administration. what he did was he made it clear that there would be no link between korea and formosa, which really upset the truman administration. truman was stuck with what mcarthur had announced. he clearly had violated what the truman administration had called for. december of 1950 truman reminded he had issued an order quote to make no announces on policy without government concurrence. truman reminded mcarthur of that statement that came out of the department of defense and of course in classic mcarthur fashion, he completely ignored him. then, joseph martin to house minority leader wrote to mcarthur sending him a speech that he had given in which he argued that if the united states was not going to be in it for a full victory than the truman administration should be and decided for the murder of thousands of american men. he asked mcarthur to comment on that. mcarthur wrote back, this was read in the halls of congress. quote, my views and recommendation with respect to the situation created

two presence of god and the other direction was truman and eisenhower and when truman left office he was phenomenally unpopular approaching were nixon was when he left office when he was involved in the potter great quantity scandal and harry truman and the 22 percent in public opinion polls, 22 percent approved the job he was doing as president rated ssn we have come to see that his foreign policy, establishing nato and jeopardizing the marshall plan through congress and they were n as members of additional soviet expansions throughout your bed and at the same time truman's demeanor and his honesty and his plainspoken weight gain greater appreciation for that when he was seen by people like by lyndon johnson who lied to the united states involvement in richard nixon it was not a crook when he actually was a crook. and eisenhower, and the president improved is ranking improved over time and when he left office people thought that he was generally a nice guy but did not really worked hard at the presidency and he spent more time golfing then lady and he was a desire not a president. w

all of us who spoke to that president truman's commitment to democracy. the statue is there because misery has sent a statue to represent them and again a moral visionary leader. i say personally because the president came to baltimore to campaign for my father who served in congress when the president was vice resident and president. old friends and i conveyed to them my personal story of meeting harry truman. so it was very exciting. i'm sure many people in the room have met harry truman but not many members of congress. now to our legislative agenda . we're doing the continuing resolution that again ensures full government services will have funding through december 16 and that gives our appropriators more time come to an agreement for next year . if left to their own devices the appropriators can find a bipartisan way, having said that as an appropriate or myself. i want to mention it addresses key priorities. $12.3 billion for the fight for democracy in ukraine. 4 and a half billion dollars for disaster relief for new mexico, puerto rico, florida and

was about four truman five kennedy six. jefferson seven, eisenhower a wilson nine reagan, ten first appearance of ronald reagan at the very boundary of greatness. finally, why and how chauvin conducted a survey in 2014 of auto 62 members of the american political science association that includes me. i participated in the survey. i can't tell you that much about it, unfortunately. it has not been published as far as i can tell. it had some newspaper stories in the washington post about the research. they emailed all the participants in the study the final rankings i don't really remember what it was like. i know it took me a long time took me 45 minutes to an hour. i remember being kind of surprised by some of the decisions i made. for instance if i myself being a lot more positive towards barack obama than i thought i would be when i was challenged to think about him in individual dimensions instead of a global judgment of his performance. some of the attributes that were managers will be diplomatic skill integrity militar

in potsdam truman got a message. it's a little boy about the atomic bomb. when you tell it's done in about it, the soviet ledia showed little interest. uncle joe didn't understand truman thought it started already knew everything. the issues raised in yalta. i lay down in potsdam and above all here ups, post wall architecture. germany was to pay reparations be deprived to pont of its territories. koenigsberg and its surrounding areas. would it be seated to the ussr? mm. say you is neat gift to my memphis sure should years. and as i've usually assess course, i also have plenty of poor my sheer brand new london, new esther for and none of the newest, actionable mush nice from oracle. no linea cartoon. scrub the relish of shit, cheer priority, check up to the hostel shipper. you lead, push the wine leah, should the norse let a japanese read as the most of the idea that the soviet by come is the civil war proven undisturbed? this solid assures him that the russians are coming in on schedule human rights in his diary, his dollar will be the jap war by all his $5

truman is in agreement with all of this. lead with a lot of legal scholars today, believe there was obstruction of justice, but also believe in the idea that somebody had to be punished, so everybody perhaps look the other way. the biggest trial that will be in tokyo. that will be before the international military tribunal of the far east. that is when tojo and other high-ranking people will be charged with crimes against to the peace and with waging an aggressive war. seven of them, including tojo, will be executed in 1948. another way the occupation seeks to re-educate japanese citizens's through museums and the arts. you have probably heard of the monuments man in europe. well, they were in japan to. but in japan, the role was different, their role was one that was more about censorship than actually going around and protecting his cultural objects from war. they're going to go through museums and religious sites throughout the country and make sure that the content doesn't glorify militarism. they're going to help japane

but it sides with macarthur in truman is in agreement with all of this. they, a lot of legal scholars probably figures there is an obstruction of justice during this particular tribe there's also the idea someone had to be punished. everybody perhaps look the other way. the biggest trial though will be in tokyo. that will be before the international military tribunal of the far east. that's very high ranking people will be charged with crimes and with waging an aggressive war. several of them will be executed in 1948. another way the occupation things to reeducate japanese citizens is through museums and the arts. you've probably heard of the monuments in europe, they were in japan too. but in japan they were different the role wasn't one about censorship than going around protecting cultural objects from war. they are going to go to museums and religious sites throughout the country and make sure the content does not glorify militarism. there is a home in japanese institution that gives grandson's day afloat and share japanese culture with the rest of th
