We're aboard one of the Imperial German Navy's pre -dreadnought battleships. The SMS Lothringen, currently lying at anchor in the harbor of Kiel, Germany. And Seaman First Class Richard Stumpf is heading to his quarters to put on his parade uniform. Once dressed appropriately, he intends to go ashore and into town to join his fellow frustrated sailors. They will parade. They will march. They will demand better. And Richard is here for it. Okay, time out. Let me fill you in on the situation. For years now, the German Navy has underfed and overworked its average sailors. Meanwhile, these somewhat abused seamen have little to show for their suffering. Indeed, apart from submarine warfare and the 1916 Battle of Jutland, German warships have largely spent this war hemmed in by Britain's effective blockade. With a coming armistice then, one that may well effectively end the German Navy, the Imperial Naval High Command believes that the answer is to sail forth and meet the Brits in battle. Better to meet a glorious death and a watery grave than to be ended by an armistice. Ah, but their hungry mistreated sailors see it differently. Why on earth would they want to go on a suicide mission merely to save the pride of their egotistical admirals? Thus, upon receiving orders a few days ago to engage the Brits in an epic but deadly throwdown at sea, Stokers aboard a few ships responded by intentionally allowing the Boilers fires to go out. Full on mutiny sees the dreadnought class SMS Hegoland and SMS Thuringen. The crew of the latter even locked up their petty officers. The Navy answered by locking up hundreds of these mutinous sailors and keel. And that's why today, Richard and hundreds of other sailors are taken to the streets to protest the incarceration of their naval brothers. And with that background, let's return to the story. Down in his quarters, Richard and other sailors are nearly done dressing. But as they buckle belts and button coats, a few officers enter asking what they can do to appease the men. Sympathetically, Richard answers, we have nothing against our officers. Nevertheless, we shall parade in the streets to obtain our rights. Nearly the whole crew agrees. The SMS Lothringen all but empties as sailors make for shore. Reaching Keel's Old Port Barracks later that afternoon, Richard is astounded. Everywhere he turns, he sees endless droves of sailors and on one side, a long line of rifle bearing Marines who've joined them. Damn, this parade has gained traction. Departing from the parade ground, the sailors and Marines make their way to the flagship now at port, the SMS Baden. After a brief shouting match between the crowd and the captain, a full third of this dreadnought battleship's crew join its ranks. Continuing on, an impromptu marching band gives some semblance of order while another 40 men fall in as they reach Pieterstraße, that is, Peter Street. But soon, our narrator, Seaman First Class Richard Stumpf, realizes that they do indeed only have a semblance of order. That they're turning into a leaderless mob, and he worries that things might get out of hand. It's now 6 p .m. The boisterous throng of servicemen are in front of the city's Marine barracks. Within a moment's time, they rip the gate off its hinges. The flustered, angry sailors then pour through the opening. One elderly major dares to oppose them. Several men surround him, take his gun and ride his epaulettes. Richard looks on, aghast. He feels sympathy for the elderly officer only trying to do his duty. This isn't what Richard had in mind when he came to heel to march for his rights. Freeing a few men being detained at the barracks, the mob of sailors continues on. Politically on the right, Richard grows uneasy as one speech giver calls out that they should hang the Kaiser. His discomfort grows as red cloths and a red bed sheet make for impromptu flags. He's appalled at a dock worker who takes the quickly raised speaker stand near station headquarters to call for the establishment of a Soviet republic. But despite his fellow sailors communist sympathies, or should I say Bolshevism, as these communist minded Germans are inspired by the recent Bolshevik revolution in Russia, Richard is pleased to see how relatively nonviolent things have stayed. Well, if only he knew what was going on elsewhere in Kiel. It's now just past 7 p .m. Among the thousands marching through the streets tonight, a different group far from Richards is approaching the military prison where the stokers who let their ship's boilers go cold are being detained. And these marchers are determined to see these men freed. They howl, shout and yell. Their angry cries are greeted by soldiers loyal to the Kaiser. Troops quickly choke off the street. The commander orders the advancing sailors to stop, but they ignore him. The officer then orders his men to fire above the sailors heads. The throng is undeterred by these warning shots. The endless mass of men continues to advance toward them. The commander orders another volley, but this one is no warning. Bullets tear through flesh. Some sailors fall dead, others screaming agony, while still more return fire or throw stones. This is no longer a mere parade through Kiel. This is the start of the German revolution. Welcome to History That Doesn't Suck. I'm your professor, Greg Jackson, and I'd like to tell you a story. That violent confrontation on the streets of Kiel left eight sailors dead and 29 more wounded. But the Kaiser soldiers weren't without their losses either. Their commander and one lieutenant died, both taken out by knives and stones. Clearly, Germany isn't only struggling on the front, it's struggling at home. It can no longer sustain this war. And that brings us to today's story. The armistice that, after four long, blood -soaked years, will finally silence the guns of World War I. To properly contextualize this hallowed moment, we'll start at the same place Germany does as it seeks peace, by looking to US President Woodrow Wilson's proposed path to peace, his 14 points. I'll remind you what these are before we listen to Woodrow pitch them in a September 1918 speech. We'll then follow his back and forth with the Germans and follow other discussions among allied leaders, all of which will ultimately lead us to a cold and fraught moment of diplomacy between four Germans and four allied leaders, and Marshal Ferdinand Foch's train carriage, somewhere secret, in France's Compiègne forest. With no leverage and a revolution consuming their nation, the German delegates are in a tough spot. But ultimately, we'll see an armistice struck. We'll then end this war, this brutal, awful war, as we watch it continue to take lives right up to the moment that the armistice takes effect at 11 o 'clock on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. But having done all of that and taken stock of all the loss, we'll see the joy and relief that washes over all the soldiers, allied and German alike, as their nightmare ends. Well, ready to experience one of the most intense moments in the history of diplomacy? Then let's get to it, and we start with our professorial president, waxing eloquent with his 14 points. Rewind. Woodrow Wilson is no fan of war. On the contrary, the former New Jersey governor and Princeton professor and president turned US president is a proponent of peace. We've seen that in several past episodes. In 132, we heard that effective, if boring, campaign slogan, he kept us out of war, and witnessed how pained the professorial president was to ask Congress to declare war. In 133, we caught the full contrast between him and his hawkish predecessor, former President Theodore Roosevelt. And in 136, we got a taste of Woodrow's 14 points, which, if adhered to, he hopes will ensure a lasting peace after the Great War. But do we remember just what these 14 points are? Well, here's a quick refresher. Woodrow first presented his 14 points while speaking to Congress at the start of this year, on January 8th, 1918. The professorial president called them, quote, the program of the world's peace, the only possible program, close quote. His right -hand man, Edward House, better known by the honorary title, Colonel House, described the 14 points as, quote, a declaration of human liberty and a declaration of the terms which should be written into the peace conference, close quote. The first five points are rules that Woodrow wants all nations to follow. No secret treaties, freedom to navigate the seas, free trade among all nations, signing the coming peace, arms reductions, and finally, an adjustment of all colonial claims that takes the will of colonized peoples and questions of their own sovereignty into mind. Points six through 13 call for specific changes to the map of Europe and the Ottoman Empire, none of which are surprising if you recall the territorial throw downs that helped cause the war. They include the central powers evacuating Russia, Germany evacuating a restored Belgium, Germany returning Alsace -Lorraine to France, an adjustment of Italian borders along nationalist lines, self -determination in the Austro -Hungarian Empire, new borders drawn in the Balkans, a Turkish state with free trade in the Dardanelles, and finally, an independent Poland. As for his last 14th point, Woodrow wants to see an end not just to this war but to all wars. He wants an organization, say a league of nations if you will, to ensure that everyone, big countries and small, are treated fairly. Huh, that's very New Jersey plan of you, Professor Wilson. Constitutional convention jokes aside, Woodrow Wilson believes his 14 points are the way to a lasting permanent peace. In fact, he's so sure of it that as the beleaguered central power of Austria -Hungary tries to initiate peace talks on September 14, 1918, Woodrow quickly rejects them. In the president's mind, there's nothing to discuss. He's already made the terms clear. Austria -Hungary can get back in touch when they want to agree to his 14 points. But is it wise to take such a hard stance on these points, especially when his points are well -meaning but vague? After all, who decides what a quote -unquote impartial adjustment of colonial claims looks like? Who defines self -determination and other such terms? Those questions aren't important to Woodrow. As America enters the Meuse -Argonne campaign, its largest battle to date, one that will send tens of thousands of young doughboys to their graves, Woodrow wants their blood sacrifice to mean something. This war must be, to borrow a phrase recently coined by English author H .G. Wells, the war to end all wars. Thus, the idealistic president is ready to pitch his 14 points to everyone, including the American people.

Veteran on the Move
A highlight from Delmarva Veteran Builders with Chris Eccleston
"Navy veteran Chris Eccleston is the president and founder of Delmarva veteran builders a fresh gritty commercial construction firm Igniting potential and doing epic things as he brings the veteran attitude to local construction projects coming up next on veteran on the move Welcome to veteran on the move if you're a veteran in transition an entrepreneur Wannabe or someone still stuck in that job trying to escape this podcast is dedicated to your success and now your host Joe crane as A member owned not -for -profit Navy federal puts members at the heart of every single thing that they do At Navy federal our members are the mission find out more at Navy federal org All right talking with Navy veteran Chris Eccleston from Delmarva veteran builders Chris welcome to the show Got some great things to talk about what's going on in the construction industry and what good good things veterans are doing there Before we do all that takes back to us what you did in the Navy Well, yeah, thanks for having me Joe. I appreciate it. Yeah, so I was in the Navy from 2000 to 2006. I was a nuke machinist mate and I was on board the USS Theodore Roosevelt During that time we deployed three different times One for enduring freedom and two for Iraqi freedom. Awesome Yeah, Tomahawks. I Well, I worked down in the reactor room. I was an RM div so not Worked on the I think it was to plant I was on to plant and so we would stand a lot of watch down there and work my way up through all the different reactor division watches and and then also got both of my Warfare pins and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, this is a cool time to be in in the service and Got to see a lot of ocean and then also a lot of different Port calls on the second and third deployment our first one we deployed like like a week after 9 -11 So we were out to sea for quite some time. Yeah, awesome. Well good story So did your transition out of Navy come quickly? Were you expecting it? You know, what was your preparation level at that? Yeah, I think the first and second deployment just because our rotation deployment rotation was so Condensed I just kind of saw that this was a pretty hard life and That I was going to get out I wanted to you know definitely have a wife and kids and I saw I just kind of knew that this is something that I Wasn't meant out for me. I thought I wanted to stay in and be a career guy, but I decided to change So I got I knew I was gonna get out I was just gonna do my six years and then I would get out so I had Decided that I was going to go to college and actually my last deployment I had gotten that calculus for dummies book because I had been out of school high school for six years and had to get prepped for all these Tests and everything. So I was actually out out to sea on my time off teaching myself calculus so I could pass the cow tests when I got back to college, but I you know, I Decided I was gonna go to school. I went to old old Dominion for a year I was gonna I tell people I was gonna go to civil engineering and I remember sitting with a The counselor and and they said that's great You're gonna have to take four years of calculus to get through the civil engineering and I was like, oh man well, how about something that doesn't take that and I said, well, how about construction management and the reason Construction was just so interesting to me was it was so tangible You were part of the team and you could really kind of see the results I mean the reactor is really cool and exciting But once you turn it on it just stays on and then just make sure nothing happens So it's kind of the same thing over and over again So I needed to I need hands ability and that's something in the structure So that's how I ended up in the construction, but I I had a hard time finding a job. I ended up being a trash man while I was in in College I so could not I could not find a job. I mean, I remember applying You know any anywhere I just kind of needed some work to supplement my income While I was in college Because then they I had the GI Bill, but they didn't have to post 9 -11 GI Bill yet So I still had to pay rent he grow You know had to pay it had all that that I had to pay for so I had to get a job while I was going to college So I ended up Being a trash guy and that's what I did I would go into houses and then clean out like all the drywall scraps and Wood scraps and all the trash and everything then take it to the dump and I could try and get one or two loads You know, I'd structure my days half days. So you don't meet a lot of people in college smelling like the dump and You know being five or six years older than everybody else, but it is all good. I wouldn't change it for the world Yeah, so So you did finish in school? I did. Yeah, I got my degree. I got my degree in three years. I actually Changed colleges from Old Dominion to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore I ended up getting a job as a as a construction laborer at a local construction company and Then working my way up in project management I did that all in about three years and And then I started I worked at that company for four or five years and then about ten years ago I started my own business and The reason Delmarva veterans builders and for the listeners out there Delaware, Maryland, Virginia that Delmarva It's a peninsula about two hours east of Washington DC It was a testament to the the veteran attitude I thought that we could bring that kind of attitude and mentality to the local construction workforce and we would kind of elevate or make it a little bit more professional than The the competition and we would just have a lot of success really fast and that's what we did We were really really successful. We took off, you know, we had the hockey stick curve and It was just a lot of fun. So but it I wanted to Really kind of hone in on veteran employment not only like permanent employment, but kind of transitional because at that time this would have been 2012 13 when I started business 13 The wars were winding down veteran employment was really unemployment was really really high. So The the timing was was right for that. And so it was in the national news all the time But I just knew that that mentality that type of workforce and then really just the construction industry and the you know, the military have a lot of nice parallels teamwork Clear goal in mind. Yeah, they're deliverables all that kind of stuff. So it's a nice parallel.

Be Really Mindful of Who You Surround Yourself With
"Really mindful of who you listen to so one of the big themes that I felt in all of the podcast guest interviews that I've done is that there's a real power in support and community and women coming together and there's this phrase of find your tribe and I do believe in that that if you can find and connect with some of the right people like they're the people who are going to encourage you on so they're not going to be the ones oh at least you know at least you try they're I know that's disappointing but it's not the end like you have more in you so there's people who are going to be real with you but encouraging supportive they want the best for you they want to see you succeed like they revel in you doing well and it's about finding those people around you and if you're lucky enough to have them already really lean into them and share some of these goals that you have and allow them to support you if you don't have those people in your life and it kind of comes back to understanding what your definition of friendship is for me I don't feel like I have to share every interest with my friends I actually like when we're interested in different things because it makes conversations interesting and it exposes me to to new and different things because some friends I go out with some I go for coffee with and you know some I go to a concert with and others I go to yoga and I really enjoy variety so that really works for me however sometimes you know you do really want to go to a yoga class with someone so if you know that that's something that you want and you don't necessarily have that within your group then it is about putting yourself in situations again being that novice and going to these things alone to begin with and then meeting people building up your tribe and then you will find them so put yourself in situations I suppose where these people are going to come across your paths and are going to support you so if you are really interested in you know holistic stuff and knowing in your circles is right now then go alone for the moment like push through that discomfort of doing that but as you do that more and more like you will find your tribe you will find people in that community that will then support you I think that community that tribe aspect is a huge part of success and I guess what I'm saying is you need to be really mindful of who it is that you've put around you like who you're going to listen to as you bounce back from failure and as you even define what success is to begin with and there's a really great Theodore Roosevelt quote so I'm going to read it for you because I think it's really powerful it is not the critic who counts not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly who errs who comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming but who does actually strive to do the deeds who knows great enthusiasms the great devotions who spends himself himself in a worthy cause who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so the two things that I particularly love about that quo is you've got to be really careful about the hecklers in the cheap seats so these are the people who are quick to criticize they're quick to judge they're the ones that make the throwaway comments the snide remarks but they're not getting their hands dirty so it's like any critic right I have way more respect for people like like in this quote who are in the arena you know who are there doing these things like being uncomfortable putting themselves out there who are trying and failing and succeeding and all of those things not the people sitting there showing out discouragement and disparaging remarks but not actually doing anything
History That Doesn't Suck
A highlight from 144: A Conversation with Ken Burns - Storytelling and the American Buffalo
"Hello my friends, this is Professor Greg Jackson, and welcome to a special episode of History That Doesn't Suck. We're going to return to our narrative episodes slogging through the trenches of World War I in a couple of weeks in time for the 105th anniversary of the Armistice and Treaty of Versailles. But today I'm thrilled to share with you my conversation with legendary documentary filmmaker Ken Burns about his latest film, The American Buffalo, which has a two -part premiere in the U .S. on PBS beginning Monday, October 16, 2023. Some refer to Ken Burns as a historian, but he would be quick to tell you that he considers himself a storyteller. The late historian Stephen Ambrose once said of Ken Burns' films that, quote, more Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source, close quote. I'm not exactly sure how to quantify a statement like that, but it's certainly fair to say that Ken's films are an indelible part of American history telling. We do know that his 1990, The Civil War, was the highest rated series in the history of American public television and attracted an audience of 40 million during its premiere.

History That Doesn't Suck
A highlight from 144: A Conversation with Ken Burns - Storytelling and the American Buffalo
"Hello my friends, this is Professor Greg Jackson, and welcome to a special episode of History That Doesn't Suck. We're going to return to our narrative episodes slogging through the trenches of World War I in a couple of weeks in time for the 105th anniversary of the Armistice and Treaty of Versailles. But today I'm thrilled to share with you my conversation with legendary documentary filmmaker Ken Burns about his latest film, The American Buffalo, which has a two -part premiere in the U .S. on PBS beginning Monday, October 16, 2023. Some refer to Ken Burns as a historian, but he would be quick to tell you that he considers himself a storyteller. The late historian Stephen Ambrose once said of Ken Burns' films that, quote, more Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source, close quote. I'm not exactly sure how to quantify a statement like that, but it's certainly fair to say that Ken's films are an indelible part of American history telling. We do know that his 1990, The Civil War, was the highest rated series in the history of American public television and attracted an audience of 40 million during its premiere. I was only seven years old when that nine -part series premiered in September of 1990. And now, today, I count this and many of Ken's later films as important influences on my own journey to becoming a history scholar and storyteller.

So Rick, tell us, we're going to kind of jump around Theodore's life here, but the one that I want to talk about is the election of 1912. Talk about the events that led to that and the historical significance. I'm so grateful you're asking about that because a couple terms come up in relation to that populism, progressivism, and they had different meanings then than they do now, but when he ran in 1912, you know, he had promised that he would, he pledged that after his resounding victory in 1904 that he wouldn't run again, but he meant consecutively. He didn't plan to run in 1912, but Taft, who he hand-picked, really betrayed his policies. He carried some out on a slab and he betrayed Roosevelt in other ways, largely forgotten by history. For instance, his environmental policies. Alaska was pretty much off the boards and Taft let the Guggenheim syndicate go in, lumber interests and such, and really have a chance to rape the whole state, and Roosevelt considered that a betrayal and things like that. So, and there were other things with the United States Steel Corporation and Taft implied that Roosevelt, to end the panic in 1907, let J.P. Morgan and others pick Roosevelt's pocket or pick Uncle Sam's pocket. Taft was in the cabinet then and he went along with it, so Roosevelt just felt personally betrayed and his policies were being betrayed too, so he jumped into the race, but Roosevelt was not a populist. At the beginning, populism, William Jennings Bryan was really on this golden cross, sure, 1896, but eventually came to adopt a lot of the populist program. Times were changing and Roosevelt started the administrative state, but he would be appalled today at the Frankenstein's monster, at what happened, and he pretty much coined the term progressivism, but there was a big difference, Charlie, between his progressivism and Wilson's progressivism, and largely forgotten today, when Obama pushed for the health care changes, he kept saying, oh Teddy Roosevelt favored this, well he did not favor it, he never was in favor of a national health care system or any of the stuff that modern day progressives favor, and Wilson's progressivism turned into FDR's progressivism and Johnson and then Obama and everyone, but Roosevelt today would never favor all that stuff, he would not have, he'd be appalled. So he was a nationalist, he did favor some government intervention, but as a referee in things, and the problem with Roosevelt's progressivism is that every generation does not produce a Theodore Roosevelt, to have a referee you've got to have a sensible nationalist, constitutionalist, and you know Roosevelt's come along, we wish every generation, but not that often, so it always was a challenge, but would that we had a Roosevelt, certainly in foreign policy and in nationalism and in domestic policies, the way he managed things, and we don't, and that's a problem. If people were more inspired by Roosevelt, and that's one reason I do the book that's my third on him and do my speaking and such, is so we'd be inspired and could follow Roosevelt as we should. The most interesting American is the name of the book, make sure you sit on this program, who I really enjoy and love, says Theodore Roosevelt, no good. Tucker Carlson says Theodore Roosevelt, hero. Help us understand this. I'm very grateful to be bringing it up because some people on the right, and they're smart guys, Glenn Beck, you know even Judge Napolitano wrote a book a couple years ago taking Roosevelt to task, Roosevelt and Wilson, and people on the right, and okay, some populists, modern day populists, and a lot of, okay they don't understand this, modern day progressivism, and it was Roosevelt's progressivism, and I mentioned in the last segment that Wilson's progressivism has been a straight line to AOC today, and the monsters who run the administrative state are trying to. Roosevelt's progressivism was not of that sort, and he was at his core a nationalist, and he was an individualist, and his progressivism was what a generation in intervening years called rugged individualism, so he wanted the government to play a role, but basically to preserve what individuals could do and what nationalists could do, and not to reject as Wilson originally wanted an agrarian vision, Jefferson's American, just small town farmers, no, Wilson wanted, and was in his writings, and it's distilled in Obama and AOC today, the administrative state, and that was not Roosevelt's vision at all. He wanted people to stand on their own two feet, he wanted people to fail or succeed according to their lights, and he just wanted the government out of the way, and if it took a strong government to keep, okay, the corporations from calling the shots and interfering with free enterprise, we can debate whether he was a capitalist, he did not like crony capitalism, that's why he wanted to block the trusts, but he wanted people to fail or succeed according to their talents, and make an even playing field, and that has been lost, not completely, but that has been lost to a lot of people in history, and Glenn Beck and Napolitano should realize that, and he's not only the most interesting American, but he was the most American American. So one thing I don't think Theodore Roosevelt only gets credit for, I mentioned this previously, is that there was a fair amount of economic anxiety that was brewing in the 1890s and 1900s. We saw William Jennings Bryan, and he tried his best to capitalize on it politically. Russia ignored a lot of this economic anxiety, which is why in 1917 you have the Russian Revolution and Bolshevik's rise to power, because we had one of the most transformational economic transitions ever from the farms to the factories. Is it fair to say that Theodore Roosevelt was able to build that bridge successfully, that he was able to calm some of those economic anxieties through prudent government programs while being focused on a strong American middle class? That, you've actually, you've distilled his programs and his policies, yes, that's the core of his argument. After he left the presidency, and especially through the teens, and then with the Russian Revolution, there was a lot of agitation, and including a lot of his former followers, now you mentioned 1912 before, a lot of his followers through the end of his presidency and through the Bull Moose campaign really veered toward the left and were very seduced by Bolshevism and such, so a lot of his followers fell in with that, those movements. But we need to remember, you know this, but what a lot of people forget is that some of the people who followed him into the Bull Moose campaign, he called immediately afterwards, he was grateful for their support, but he called them the lunatic fringe, because they went overboard, they took the ball and ran with them, and instead of reform they wanted revolution, and he just completely was turned off by them, and a lot of them who wanted him to run again as a third party candidate in 1916, he utterly rejected them, and he didn't even say thanks but no thanks, I mean he really scored them, and as I say called them the lunatic fringe. He regretted, you might say he started some of those balls rolling, but he knew what was dangerous in America, and you know, he died in brief. Yep, that's right. It was when World War I ended, everyone came home and there was this big recession, right? Yeah, exactly right, and there were labor problems and the radicals really, you know Eugene V. Debs ran for president. He was indicted, wasn't he? Sorry to interrupt, but he actually was indicted, I think. Sound familiar? Sorry, please keep going. Oh no, he was, and unfortunately it was not for this economic lunacy, it was for his opposition to World War I and all like that, and Roosevelt was a big interventionist and everything, but America was really on the brink in 1920 of turning radical, and okay, so it didn't, and Harding and Coolidge, Coolidge is not as appreciated as he should be, I think, but Roosevelt really was at the, he bridged those two movements, and he was able to reign in sort of like Luther did after the Reformation. He had to calm a lot of the reformers at the time, and there was a counter-Reformation, but Luther had to be on board in, you know, smashing stained glass windows and statues and all like that, and Roosevelt pretty much had to do the same thing and remind his followers to stay on the straight and narrow, so I'm glad you recognize the difference between those who revere Roosevelt and those who might not. No offense to Glenn Beck, but no, no, and this is not an attack on Glenn, I just see it differently, and I understand, so but this is how I actually think we prove it. Was Theodore Roosevelt a German historicist believer? Was he a believer in the arc of progressive history philosophically? Yes, he was, yeah, but you know, it's all with qualifications. We have to remember that one thing that made him the most interesting American is that, you know, he's probably the only president we've had who, it's plausible that in the first paragraph of his obituary, being president of the U.S. would not necessarily be the first item to check off, you know, so he wrote more than 40 books, and he would have been a famous and respected naturalist, natural historian, and a biographer and historian and all like that, you know, the movement you mentioned, yeah, he was in those currents and he taught and he lectured and he wrote and he was at the whirlwind of history too, but he was, let me put in another context if I might, but with Manifest Destiny, I mean, he saw the broad scope, the broad sweep of history and he saw America's role not just in a racial sense or an ethnic sense or a geographical sense in that way with Manifest Destiny, but he surely saw the sweep of history and when he would talk about social and industrial justice, he was not talking about socialism, he rejected socialism, but he really saw that the government and the state had a role, but he was, not that he was ever scared silly about anything, but he did not want the mechanism of government to co-opt the ideals of individualism and nationalism that he saw America as embodying. I would be remiss on my behalf if we did not talk about just some of the unbelievably interesting personal stories of Theodore Roosevelt, true or not true, he was shot while campaigning and then finished a speech with a blood-stained shirt, is that folklore or is fact? It's fact, he was shot at point blank range five feet away and they wanted to take him to the hospital, of course, and he insisted on going delivering a speech, he had 90 minutes with blood streaming down his shirt and he finished his speech and they said now you can take me to the hospital. And understand the context, he became president because McKinley was shot and died and so then Theodore Roosevelt gets shot and he finishes the speech. Yeah, one of the, you know, that one anecdote about that is he was an outdoorsman, he was a hunter, he was a police commissioner, he was carried a gun with him in case someone would attack him, he didn't have the chance because someone came up point blank range and he was always in harm's way and he wrote a friend after he was shot that always being at risk, always having a gun, always shooting, loving firearms and such and such and he wrote a friend after this happened, he said he felt like the old maid who found a burglar under her bed one night and said there you are, I've been looking for you for 30 years. So there he was courting death, being a soldier, San Juan Hill and all like that, never being shot and then he was and he wasn't able to shoot back. Hey, Charlie Kirk here.

The most interesting Theodore Roosevelt stories, safaris, rhino hunting in North Dakota. What are the ones that just stand out? You've done unbelievable research here. Well, thank you. And you've done your questions are great. I can answer that question by saying the way I organized the book was 10 aspects of his personality and he has many more facts than that. But the fact that he was born sickly, a severe oddness, a child, he fought his way back and became a physical specimen, a boxer and a hunter and all like a cowboy. So I tried to break it down. Conservation is a family man, a chapter on his faith, his Christianity. Of all things he did not wear on his sleeve, it was his faith, but the three of his books he named after he took verses from the Bible is an intensely faithful man. Patriot, of course, you know, his wife and his mother died, a lot of people don't know this, his wife and his mother died on the same day in the same house of different causes. It devastated him, it did, it would anyone. That's when he went out to the wild west for two years and just rode the range, became a rancher and a cowboy, finished building his body and that was an aspect of his personality too. Just everything he did, you know, I was attracted to him as a child. Why? I was a student of history. I was too young to be a student of history. I discovered this man who vaguely looked like my grandfather, but even then when he was not as respected, they even went through a decline. It was kind of a caricature in history books and everything, but it just struck me that this man was so honest. He courted controversy and the phrase that was said about Cleveland was said about him. People said we love him for the enemies he has made and he just didn't care who he offended. He stood for the flag, he stood for America, he stood for himself and he was incorruptible. He had enemies in politics, but no one ever could did accuse him of being personally corrupt or in his private life or anything like that and who can we say that about in history especially? And is it fair to say he was a man's man, an alpha male amongst the rest? Thrift on that for a second. Well, that was absolutely the case and by the way, not that this is what you're implying, but the subject is collateral. He wrote one of his papers in college in the 1880s on advocating the vote for women and he was for women's rights, but he said about that equality of rights does not equate to equality of function. So I mean he believed men should be men and assert themselves and have the manly virtues, a phrase he was not shy about using. He brought up his sons that way and it was a hard thing when one of his sons all went into World War I and one died on the battlefront and he was haunted by that, he inculcated those virtues in his sons to volunteer and fight and do, but that was part of the package. He was a man's man. He went to Brazil, he almost died. Because you had a bug bite or something, right? Or he got infected, right? He got infected. They got lost. He was charting a tributary to the Amazon and they got lost and it was a virtual stream, no GPS in those days. They were starving. There were attacks from natives and the porters went crazy and one killed the other end to the jungle.

"And he once said that he had, matter of fact, he often said that anyone who called him Teddy didn't know him. So he discovered that. So in my books, careful to call him Theodore. But his father Theodore was nominated to be collector of the customs office in New York City by President Hayes, because it was a cesspool of corruption and he knew that the famous philanthropist Theodore Roosevelt would be incorruptible and could run it honestly. And he would have, but one of the New York senators, it was under his skin that he wasn't consulted on this. And he also saw it as a source of bribery and so he opposed the Republican president and a Republican nominee and fought him like crazy in the Senate and persuaded the Senate to reject the nomination. And for a period of several weeks, it was in the news and it was dirty and Roosevelt's father was besmirched. It was just awful. Al Roosevelt was away at Harvard at the time and was not really aware of the controversy. And after he was defeated, his father was defeated in the Senate. He had, he didn't know this at the time, but he had stomach cancer. And right after the defeat, he wound up in severe pain, died very quickly. And of course, everyone connected the humiliation of that defeat with his death, but had a big impact on Roosevelt's life. Came home. He was not there when his father died and famous at the time, just the idea that an incorruptible hero could be besmirched that way. And it affected Roosevelt greatly. He decided to go into politics and we know from his writings that he always was affected by that and kept his father's ideal in his mind. So when he went into politics, he was incorruptible. He fought in the 1884 convention, 26 years old, but was a major figure in that convention, trying to defeat the nominee who was a famous crook Blaine. And then whether it was in the civil service commission or the police commissioner office, as you asked, and then as president, it was really, he kept his father's example before him. So a lot of the influence on him was his morality, his Christianity, his ideals, his heroes in history. But really, I think he tried to live up to his father's ideals and it was a very important thing in his life and not sufficiently recognized. The book is The Most Interesting American by Rick Marshall. Some parallels that we're seeing, potentially that election of 1912 sticks out, third party upset. And I'm sure Rick wrote extensively about that. I'm just genuinely curious what was Theodore, former President Roosevelt, thinking at the time, because based on my recollection of reading history and biographies, he was angry at William Howard Taft. But maybe there's more to the story. I will say this, and I think you would agree, Rick, he lived a full life. Theodore Roosevelt, he lived a full life in every possible way, from winning a peace prize for ending the Russo-Japanese conflict to his, what they call the Roughnecks in Cuba.

"Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd.com. One of my favorite historical figures is Teddy Roosevelt. We have a historian joining us to explore it. Rick, I think it's Marshall. Is that correct, Rick? Welcome to the program. It's Marshall and it's Theodore. All right, well tell us about the book. Yeah, it's called The Most Interesting American and it sounds like you're already sold on that concept. Yeah, there's the cover. It's my third Roosevelt book and the angle of this, Charlie, is that everyone knows Roosevelt, what he looked like and he's on Mount Rushmore and he's on stamps and we know the caricature and things he did, all his tremendous accomplishments, but as a lifelong Roosevelt addict, I was realizing that the essence of the man, what his personality was like and what he was, why he appealed to people and how he could be so persuasive, that's being lost to the public. So I gleaned about 500 quotations, impressions, reports, diary entries, all that from people who knew him and encountered him or maybe just met him once or saw him in a crowd. So that's what the book is. Took 10 aspects of his personality. So it's none of his quotations. It's just what people thought about him and how they encountered him. So we have a portrait of him through people who knew him and met him. So that's a book in a big nutshell. Well, he lived a full life. And so let's go through a couple different parts of his life. The one that people might not know, if I'm not mistaken and my memory serves me correctly, he was police commissioner of New York City. Is that correct? Walk us through that part of his life. Yeah, that's one of the things he did. He was, it's about in the middle of his career, but he was in the New York legislature and civil service commissioner in Washington. Then, yeah, then he was a police commissioner in New York and is in everything else he did, ugly, honest and incorruptible and colorful. And he did that. The police department was very corrupt then. And he came in and enforced the closing laws and among the colorful things he did, he would go out after a full day of work at the police office, the commissioner's office, and he would roam the streets at night looking for policemen on the beat to see if they were doing their job or asleep or taking bribes, you know, like that. So the press loved him and the public loved him and the crooks didn't, and it just added to his growing reputation at that time. So here's a question that I'm were the most significant contributors to Teddy Roosevelt's worldview. You know, they call him a populist, a nationalist, but in his own words, what informed his politics? All right. Well, glad you're asking that. He was a student of history. You know, he went to Harvard and he wrote, he made history, but he wrote history books, but he was informed by a couple of things. And I will say besides his heroes and the figures in history and his morality and such, a lot was his father. And a lot of the books about him have not really explored the influence of his father. You know, he was a blue blood. He came from New York aristocracy and his father was a philanthropist at that point and a do-gooder and such, but his father was a reformer and he favored reform. He was never in politics, Charlie, but at the end of his life, President Hayes asked Roosevelt's father Theodore Sr. And by the way, if I can say this, the Roosevelt we're talking about did not like to be called Teddy.

Lord Conrad Black Unpacks Trump's Latest Strategy
"Question president Trump's wisdom. I rarely do this, but I question it in this case where he's holding up the santas as a Reagan Republican. I don't think that's anything to be embarrassed about. And I guess it's the best he can do, but I wouldn't do it if I were him. I'd make my arguments at the he was a he Trump as a preferable candidate to desantis on another basis. But I think that Republican Party between Reagan and Trump, the bush McCain Romney party. I think they did basically they failed. And the Republican Party will not go back to them. And president Trump repositioned the Republican Party, approaching upon traditional democratic fiefdoms in less advantaged areas in particular. African American and Hispanic American areas and he did it by transporting traditional Theodore Roosevelt Dwight Eisenhower capitalism, Republican capitalism into those districts with the tax incentivized investments creating employment in those districts. And it was a stroke of genius. He used traditional Republican capitalism to attack the democratic stranglehold on African American Hispanic American voters and unless the Republican Party has a collective IQ in a negative area. I mean, less than zero.

"As midnight approaches, roughly a hundred miles away, near oyster bay on New York's Long Island. Theodore Roosevelt sits at his desk in his beloved home known as sagamore hill. Somber reporters, newspapermen, who followed him for years. Sit before TR and the crackling fire wording off the cold November 9th. They listened attentively as the high pitched colonel greets them. Now old friends, I'm really glad to see you. They ask the former president about his communication with Woodrow Wilson. Speaking from memory, the bespectacled mustachioed rough rider, still in his black tie, recites the telegram he fired off to the professor an hour ago. Quote, the American people, by a great plurality, have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift. I congratulate you thereon. The reporter stare. That sounds hard to buy after such a brutal friendship damaging, if not ending contest. But teddy leaves no doubt. He adds resolutely. Like all other good citizens. I accept the result with good humor and contentment. TR's telegram sent to Woodrow about the same time as president will task congratulating telegram was spot on. The New Jersey governor won with a great plurality. Here's the breakdown. Socialist Eugene debs won over 900,000 votes. While none of those translate to electoral votes, this means 6% of all voters cast their ballots for him. As I record this episode in the 21st century, this remains the best performance ever of a socialist candidate for president. It speaks volumes about gene and America's thirst for reform. As for Republican president William Howard Taft, he came in just shy of three and a half million votes. That translated to 23.2% of the popular vote, and 8 electoral votes, courtesy of Utah, and Vermont. The bullet carrying rough rider, colonel Theodore Roosevelt, fared better. He took just over 4.1 million votes. 27.4% of the popular vote in 88 electoral votes. Even as a former and popular president, birthing a third party, only months before the general election that can bump one of the two major parties into third place is an incredible feat. And with no disrespect to poor will, it's hard not to imagine that. Had the Republicans run teddy, it would have taken The White House. It's a safe bet that even the taft administration's biggest fans would have stuck with TR in that scenario. Their combined votes would have made for a clear majority. But the GOP didn't do so, and that brings us to Woodrow Wilson's great plurality. After all, his more than 6 million votes may have only translated to 41.9% of the popular vote, but it was a commanding victory in the Electoral College. 435 electoral votes. 40 out of the 48 states and so would your prepares to head to The White House, knowing his election is not a commanding mandate, yet knowing that the nation's cumulative response to his TRs and gene debs platforms are a mandate of sorts for progressive reform. From women's suffrage to tariffs, banking, and so much more. There are several issues coming his way. And little does Woodrow know that a war unlike any of the world has ever seen. Is looming. So dig deep professor because in The White House, you're the student. And there's no room for failure on the exam to come. History that doesn't suck is created and hosted by me, Greg Jackson.

"Speak softly and carry a big stick. You will go far. Theodore Roosevelt loves this West African proverb, and it comes to play in his foreign policy, which is exactly what we'll cover today with the stories of teddy's big stick diplomacy and dealings with the world abroad. Having seen his gift for logic and delicacy in helping to end the Russo Japanese war, will now observe how he uses a powerful combination of death negotiation backed by military might in the arena foreign policy. I'll give you all the highlights. Including the Al Jazeera's conference and the great white fleet. But we'll focus on two stories above all. First, the spat between Monroe, doctrine, upholding TR and the German Empire over Venezuela, and second, a project that far outlasts teddy's presidency. The Panama Canal. The first of these is classic big stick diplomacy. Meanwhile, the Panama Canal, which is an epic tale in and of itself. Will prove world changing. We'll see how teddy justifies actions his critics call straight up imperialism as he picks up this costly, deadly project from the defeated French. And can the Americans do it? If so, it will be an engineering marvel that'll change world trade. It'll also greatly strengthen the United States big stick. So ready to avoid a few wars and split two continents asunder over the next hour, sounds doable to me. Let's back up a few years then and tackle the Venezuela crisis. Rewind. Ah, Venezuela. A land of natural beauty with a long, Caribbean coastline, it has nonetheless had a rough go of late. Corruption, Civil War as a result, this verdant South American nation has accrued serious debt in the United Kingdom and Germany by late 1902. Around 62 million bolivars, or several millions of dollars to express that in U.S. currency. But now, Venezuela's sharp bearded, dark haired president. Okay, dictator cipriano Castro is neither paying up nor willing to discuss the matter with his two powerful creditors. But both the UK and Germany intend to collect what's theirs. At gunpoint, if necessary. President Theodore Roosevelt is good with that. While we saw in episodes one O four and one O 5, that teddy is a fierce advocate of the Monroe doctrine, which I'll remind you is the assertion that the United States will not tolerate further European colonization or other unsavory shenanigans in the western hemisphere. We also know from our recent square deal episodes that he's all about treating people fairly. That goes for nations too. Therefore, teddy doesn't see the Monroe doctrine as a free pass for Latin America to thumb its nose at European powers. So, in teddy's view, if Venezuela took the loans, it needs to honor that and pay up. If it's president won't pay or even discuss the matter, he understands Germany and Britain, sending warships to blockade the coastal nation. Fair enough. But can he trust Germany not to go further? Now, teddy loves Germany. He's got German blood, briefly lived in Dresden as a child, and speaks the language, which along with his French makes him trilingual, but TR doesn't trust that the rapidly expanding second Reich will hold back in Venezuela. Kaiser Wilhelm the second has already spurned the open door policy in China by snatching up jiaozhou. So why wouldn't he do the same in Venezuela? If that happens, then TR will have to act as that would be a clear violation of the Monroe doctrine. That's why teddy has asked the two European empires for assurances that they won't seize any land while blockading Venezuela. Britain has obliged, but Germany isn't so forthcoming. Sounds like it's time for teddy to speak softly and carry a big stick. It's December 8th, 1902. The German ambassador, Theodore von halden, and his retinue have just arrived at The White House. The meeting is entirely ceremonial, but the similarly named president is happy to take advantage of this time to talk with the walrus mustache wearing German. Once the two of them are alone, TR speaks his mind about Germany's intentions in Venezuela. Tell the Kaiser that I have put George Dewey in charge of our fleet to maneuver in west Indian waters. That the world at large should know this merely as a maneuver, but I regret to say that I will be obliged to interfere by force if necessary if the Germans take any action which looks like the acquisition of territory in Venezuela or anywhere along the Caribbean. George Dewey. That name should ring a bell. We bonded with this living legend and admiral of the U.S. Navy in episode one O 5. When George essentially kicked off the Spanish-American War by demolishing the Spanish fleet in Philippine waters. Now teddy's got George down in the Caribbean on standby in case the Germans get up to no good. Conversation continues. The German Theodore assures our American Theodore that Germany has no intention of seizing Venezuelan territory. Aha. Well, with thoughts of Germany's track record in China, teddy doesn't buy it. He lays out an ultimatum. Kaiser Wilhelm the second must provide a full disclaimer stating that Germany will not take Venezuela and territory within the next ten days. If not, George Dewey and his nearby fleet will move in to observe Venezuela's coast closely. Far, far more closely. Teddy feels he's been polite yet clear. If we trust his singular telling of things, that is, some historians discount his ultimatum narrative. But will the ambassador relay this message and its serious implications of military muscle? The next day seems to indicate no. The UK and German blockade sees four Venezuelan gunboats. The Germans destroy three of them. President cipriano Castro then asks the American government to intervene on his behalf. And Secretary of State John hay forwards the request to the British and Germans, letting them both know that the U.S. is willing to step in and arbitrate peacefully. But the days are passing and TR's ultimatum deadline is drawing closer with nary a word of assurance from the Kaiser. Seems TR and his excellency Theodore von halden may need another chat to full on wars to be avoided. It's a good thing he's coming by. It's a dark and dreary Sunday morning. December 14th, 1902. In German ambassador, Theodore von halden is just arriving at The White House. He soon greets the rough riding president, likely in the executive office, and they begin to chat. His excellency starts with small talk. The cold gloomy weather. Tennis. And then, it feels like the ambassadors wrapping up. In fact, he's standing and starting to leave. But teddy stops him and follows up on the Venezuela situation. He first asks if Germany will accept the Secretary of State's offer to arbitrate. The German Theodore responds quickly and sharply. No. In the clearest of terms, TR answers that the Kaiser is risking war then. To drive the point home, he reminds his fellow Theodore of last week's ultimatum and tells him it's no longer ten days. Now it's 9, and with 6 days already passed, that puts the deadline 72 hours out on December 17th. That's right. TR spoken softly. But he still caring a big stick. The ambassador leaves, still insisting that the Kaiser will never arbitrate. He can't believe the president is serious. But dread sets in.

San Francisco Voters Recall 3 Board of Education Members
"A small piece of hopeful news good news out of San Francisco, the city has voted decisively. This is the voters. More than 70%. In a recall vote to throw out three of the members of the city school board. And the vote was not close. Allison Collins recalled by 78% to 21% Gabriella Lopez, 74% to 24%. Falga moliga recalled 71% to 27%. So this is massive majorities liberal majorities have decided to give these three scoundrels the boat. So you might ask, what's going on in San Francisco? Well, by and large, the city school board has been in complete, has kept the schools in complete shutdown. And parents are getting increasingly restless. My kids aren't getting a proper education. They're essentially being cognitively deprived for the larger part of two years when other schools gonna open, but instead of focusing on that, what the city school board was focused on is renaming the schools. Apparently, these three characters were leading a drive to rename a whole bunch of schools in San Francisco. The Abraham Lincoln school, the George Washington school, the Thomas Jefferson school that Theodore Roosevelt school, the Robert Louis Stevenson school, Nepal revere school all renamed, and the decision to rename them was taken literally in seconds. Apparently they had a sort of a research committee, the school names advisory committee, they did no real research. They did basically Google and Wikipedia. And they just decided, Abraham Lincoln, yeah, you freed the slaves, but who cares? You know, he was the American Indians didn't do very well under Lincoln. Boom, he's gone. And this was the methodology. No debate, no consultation with historians, no effort to sort of do a balanced assessment.

"Wow, what a difference 80 years has made. This is December 7th, 2021. It is the 80 year anniversary of Pearl Harbor and of course, Franklin del nor Roosevelt shepherded the nation through that very difficult chapter and I see a headline with the name Roosevelt in it that just seems for me to sum it up just sums up how unfit so many of our leadership really, really is today. The American museum of natural history is a place I have visited many times in my life. One of the joys of living in New York part time is to visit the museums and the restaurants and the theater and the just all the cultural things that New York City has to offer for 80 years. Enormous statue of Theodore Roosevelt has stood on the front steps of the American museum of natural history. Well, the woke crowd decided. They don't like it. It's a glorified, I think they say, I think it's colonialism. And. So they're taking it down. They're going to remove it. But it's not enough to remove the statue, the tribute to Teddy Roosevelt. That started receiving mounting frenzied opposition, particularly after George Floyd's murder, and I'm just trying as the New York Post described it. I'm trying to kind of connect the dots. Let's see. George Floyd dies in Minneapolis, let's take down the statue of Teddy Roosevelt. I mean, honest to goodness, will you make an effort to connect those dots

"It's not the critic who counts my friend not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where. The doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly who airs and comes up short again and again because there is no effort without error or shortcoming. I could go on. This is the quote the famous quote by theodore roosevelt. He talks about striving valiantly and daring greatly. And that's what i come to you with this morning. How will you dare greatly today. Have you ever thought about it. Have you ever planned for it. Have you ever sat in the early morning. Hours with yourself implant how you would dare greatly. That's what i'm challenging you to do today. It's what i'm challenging me to do today without daring greatly without stepping outside the comfort zone without pressing edges without living on the verge of uncertainty. We will never meet our potential daring greatly. Today doesn't have to be something public. It doesn't have to be anything that anyone notices. It could be a behavior. It could be a way of speaking to someone or responding or not. Responding daring greatly is so intimately personal for every single one of us and it changes every single day. So how about we do this together. How 'bout we dare greatly. We plan out how we will dare greatly every single day. I remember when i first started doing these podcasts. Five years ago. And i would script everything out. I had a whole page of notes. And i would sit in the corner of my walking closet and i would have to prep myself in. Breathe and get ready. Start and stop and start and stop. I was daring greatly. I was putting myself in the arena. Right available for critics judges to poke holes in what i was saying and now five years later. This is a habit this is sometimes. I still get a little nervous. Especially when i'm going forward or going completely unscripted so it's not totally comfortable. I don't want it to be comfortable. I want to keep pushing the boundaries but the act of turning on the mike is less scary. So if there's something out there a way of being a goal something that you are aspiring to out and it seems so far away start by daring greatly in a small way today. Get it done do it do it consistently and like me will become a habit and it will be actually something that perhaps you will look forward to and enjoy what teddy roosevelt was saying. Is that if we don't step into the arena. We will continue to be spectators and spectators judge. Each other spectators are the critics those in the arena. And it doesn't have to be on the same topic but those of us that are failing daring greatly. See each other. Meet each other at a whole different level. It's like when i meet a yoga studio owner like we see each other soul. We know we know the pain. The struggle the work and we also know the highs and the glories when i meet a small business owner. It's the same way and entrepreneurs put it on the line. They've dared greatly doesn't matter if it was the same business or not. You know when. I meet people out there. That are pushing the envelope in their own lives. Oh man i have so much respect. Because i'm doing it as well so teddy. Roosevelt closes out this quote. And he says that you know he who spent himself in a worthy cause who had best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least he fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. let's jump into the arena together. Let's dare greatly. Let's make it daily. And i would love to know from you. What are you gonna do or what are one of the things that you are doing right now to dare greatly mine is. I am not playing small as i said last week and every day that is at the top of my to do list. Thank you for listening. Thank you for checking out the show notes. Thank you for sharing this with the friend. Perhaps someone in your life needs to hear this message as well have a wonderful day. Go.

R News, 88 7. And It's the Texas standard. I'm David Brown. Speak softly and carry a big stick. That was the style of foreign policy attributed to Theodore Roosevelt, as the United States emerged as an important world power in the early 19. Hundreds less well known than the quote, perhaps, is that America's stick wasn't that very big at the time. In fact, for most of its history, the United States was a large country with a small peacetime military. That changed after World War two. But in an op ed in The New York Times, University of Texas history professor Jeremy Suri suggests history and our experience in Afghanistan. Conspired to send us an important message. Perhaps you'd be better off with a smaller military. Professor Welcome back to the Texas Standard. Thanks for having me on as I understand it. You're actually saying all countries not just the U. S should be thinking small when it comes to the military. But you're also seemed to be saying that we need to rethink the value of military dominance. What? What does that mean? Exactly? I believe the history makes it quite clear that over the last 70 years we've invested an enormous amount of our treasure in the military. And although the soldiers and their leaders have been extraordinary in their efforts, we have not achieved the results we have wanted. Well, it was never really about military dominance, right? I mean, this was about having a military that was large enough to achieve certain strategic objectives. You think about why we went to Afghanistan after 9 11, for example, I think that's correct. And I think that's an argument for a strong military. But there's no doubt that our strategy has been that we can deploy around the world on short notice. And we've done that repeatedly in Vietnam in Afghanistan and Iraq, and I think what we've seen is that we have not produced the results we have wanted and we have to ask ourselves if there are better ways to spend our money. You note that U. S opinion has moved in this direction to But I'm thinking about the last time there were widespread calls for military retrenchment. I'm thinking of the seventies, you know, after Vietnam And then we saw a major increase in military spending is almost a backlash to that, and I'm wondering if there's not really just sort of a pendulum swing when it comes to public opinion and how big our military should be. I think there is a pendulum that swings and I think we might expect public opinion to swing back slightly. But we've had 20 years of more extensive international engagement and we have seen since the early Cold War. And I know talking to my students that they are much more skeptical than any prior generations. Since World War two has been about what our military can do, so I do not expect our opinion to swing all the way back. Well. So how much is the big military idea? Sort of a function of the Cold War? Because, as you remarked in your op ed for The New York Times wasn't always this way. That's correct. I think these are decisions that really grew out of World War two. Not so much the Cold War and the realization at the end of World War two that we needed someone. To provide for basic security and to help rebuild societies. But the world looks very different today. 70 years later, the United States is in a different position, and the challenges of rebuilding societies look very different than they did after World War two. Mm. Assuming we were to downsize, how big would our military need to be to do what we expected to do? And how do you go about selling that to the many constituencies affected? That's a great question. I think our military should not be in the involved in long term occupations in places where we have been now for in some cases seven decades, Germany, South Korea and elsewhere. We can perhaps be ready to deploy in areas of crisis, but we should not be a foreign occupation force, and we should also not have military forces at the border. That is not the appropriate role for them at the Mexican border. Well, but what you're getting into a sort of a larger conversation. It seems we haven't really had, or maybe we have and people haven't been joining in. Uh, that conversation about what our military should and should not be expected. To do, right. I mean, I haven't heard a lot of talk about that. I think you're right. And I think in some ways the military officers with the victims because they get sent off to do things that even with all the resources they have, they're not capable. We blame them when things don't go well. I also think the conversation we need to have David is about what kinds of interests and what kinds of goals we have. As a society. It's too easy for presidents to send the military around the world. We haven't had the conversations as to where we really want to use our treasure and what our priorities should be at home and abroad. Jeremy Suri is a history professor at the University of Texas at Austin and the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. He's also the author, most recently of the Impossible Presidency, the Rise and Fall of America's highest office. Professor. Thanks again. Thank you and you are listening to the Texas standard.

The History of US Presidential Transportation
"First us president of any sort to fly in an airplane was theodore roosevelt. It was rather short flight as airplanes at the time didn't have a very long range and it was probably one of the more dangerous. Flights ever attempted by president sitting or former come over after this short sightseeing flight. Us presidents didn't do any flying. It would be another thirty three years before an actual sitting. Us president would get on an airplane. The first airplane designated for presidential use was purchased in nineteen thirty three it was a douglas dolphin amphibious aircraft and it was operated by the us navy as there was no air force at the time. The co name. It was given was r d two. It could seat four passengers and there was a small sleeping compartment. The interior was custom made for presidential use with leather seats. It was stationed at the anacostia naval airbase in washington. Dc until nineteen thirty nine and during that time it was never once used by the president to be fair. Fdr was in a wheelchair and getting in and out of an airplane especially a small amphibious plane was probably something that he wasn't keen to do however he did eventually take a flight the very first airplane flight by a sitting. Us president took place on january. Eleventh nineteen forty-three when franklin roosevelt flew on. The dixie clipper was a commercial boeing. Three fourteen clipper which was operated by pan. Am he flew fifty five hundred miles to the casablanca conference in morocco to meet with winston churchill and charles de gaulle. The flight was done in three stages any flu rather than took a ship because it was considered safer than risking german u boats in the atlantic after the trip the army air force didn't want to rely on commercial airlines for presidential transportation. They proposed the president. Use a modified. C eighty seven liberator express heavy bomber. The plane was dubbed the guess where to when the secret service reviewed the safety record of the plane. They rejected it. For presidential use. The plane was used for carrying the first lady. Eleanor roosevelt however on a trip to latin america. But it never carried the president. The secret service then approved a douglas. C fifty four skymaster which was a transport plane used in the war. It was named the sacred cow ended. Had sleeping quarters are radiotelephone and a lift for getting roosevelt in and out of the plane in his wheelchair. The only time you used it was to travel to the yalta conference in february of nineteen forty five. This plane is on display at the museum. At the wright patterson air force base outside dayton

"They conspire demand that investors constantly compare the returns in other smart theodore roosevelt's at that the thief of all joy is comparison in any walk of life. If you're constantly comparing yourself to returns of your neighbor. your co workers on benchmark. You will never be satisfied us. Never been clear. Okay let me frame that. Get your pen and paper out podcast. Listeners let me tell you exactly what that point is right there. I'm going to tell you fact unless you both own the exact same investments. There is no way that you are ever going to be able to compare portfolio returns. Fact you can't. There are so many variables that go into the process of quote unquote comparing returns. There are too many. There are too many mathematical comparisons. There are behavioral comparisons. Their academic comparisons there are market. There are industry risk adjusted return is relative returns are relative the risk you take to get the returns you get our relative. They are not specific. So the idea if you want to compare returns to anything is a fool's game. I wish you the best of luck you can compare all you on. It's kind of like comparing your looks to someone else's looks it's kind of comparing like what kind of house you have to your neighbors house. It's like doing. It's like doing a keeping up with the joneses mentality. It is like trying to compare yourself to someone else because you think the variables are identical. If the variables are not identical the comparison therefore becomes more complicated it becomes more convoluted so the use of benchmarks in my opinion is completely useless. Why because just like the human body. Every investor has different goals and objectives than the other investor next to them. Do not compare aright. That leads us to here. In the last. Few minutes of the podcasts. The four simple steps.
