dwight eisenhower is planning d-day in england. they make a war bonds appeal record that is sent to the american public. that is the first time they appear together. of course we win world war ii thanks in no small part to dwight eisenhower and the d-day landings. many of you will remember some of the history. now we are going to go forward a little bit. after world war ii, we get to the 1950's. around that time the korean war begins. the north invades the south. ronald reagan is unhappy with president harry truman's slow building up of america's troops. unlike when dwight eisenhower launched a massive invasion, truman does it slowly. reagan is unhappy because the war is becoming a quagmire. ronald reagan believes in small government and is unhappy truman has continued the bureaucracy that was begun under fdr. he is thinking, who should he support in 1952? ronald reagan is still a democrat. he telegrams to dwight eisenhower and urges him to seek the presidency. and he becomes, officially, a democrat for ike. a few things about that

a dozen regiments are too much for dwight's 70th new york. they get a second wind and start screaming "bull run, bull run" as they come up out of the ravine. the 70th breaks. the new jersey brigade, what is left of them, breaks. grover's guys start to fall back, little by little, shoving the union army back over the road, and you see wainwright's guns in the center. wainwright says this. "i held fire until the head of the column was within 150 yards. three rounds to a gun blew the whole thing away." he is talking about triple canister. now, as we talked about before, some of these guys liked to embellish official reports. at one time i give that quote and everybody went, it is powerful, three rounds to a gun blew it all away. however, the virginians have a different opinion. try this on for size. this, friends, is what we call in the history field a pucker factor.

marines of course, 3:00 o'clockrines beirut time is six hours earlier in washington and president dwight eisenhower had gone gone on national tv to explain why he sent marines into harm's way. a year before eisenhower had laid out what is now called the eisenhower doctrine in the first time in american presidents said to the american people and to the world the middle east is vital to american national interests. no president until then had never identified the middle east is important or vital to american national interests. but it's interesting what i get played out crucial to american interests. he said there are two crucial interests in the middle east. one is obvious. oil and the second was the middle east was the birthplace an the three great monotheistic religions, judaism and christianity and islam. in the context of the cold war united states cannot allow atheistic communism to take over the birthplace of the three great religions. very interesting that eisenhower in 1957 did not identify the defense of israel as the strategic vital interest of the united states. no subsequent a

had generaln we dwight eisenhower who was our muster speaker and he did the muster here in 1946. tradition is such a broad word. true traditions will point you back to your core values. some of the biggest traditions they have started as corps traditions and has evolved -- some of those include the 12 man. in 1922, a former football postseason,ng the he transitioned into basketball. during the first half of a game, he realized they had so many injuries that they did not know if they could feel the full team. so they brought him out of the stands in order to satisfy the requirements. he did not actually play, but it was the idea that i will be ready to serve my committee, serve my team and my school in whatever capacity they need. that is where you get the 12 man. what we found is that the 12 man is not just in athletics and being ready to participate, but across the community it is about selfless service. how can you be of service to someone else. my first week here, i had no idea where my classes were. a girl took the time to take me all the way across campus. she did not just t

the allied commander in chief in the mediterranean, the young dwight david eisenhower. he is anxious in fact and fortunately there are quite a number of photographs from that period to listen to ike. ike's views on strategy in europe and to think about him for a very good reason. because ike tells him that he has just been to see winston churchill and is worried by the prime minister's unwillingness to go ahead with the d-day invasion in 1944. so when president roosevelt arrives in cairo on the surface the two men look as they have always been great friends which they were. but sometimes great friends fall out over great issues. and d-day was a great issue. and very quickly in cairo the president of the united states faces a crisis. an extraordinary moment in history where his main ally, prime minister not only of great britain, but de facto commander of chief including in australia and new zealand, south africans, and canadians as he's learned threatened to have a showdown over delaying or halting d-day. which had been agreed should take place in the spring of 1944 in

in 1946 again, we had general dwight eisenhower who was our muster speaker and he did the muster here in 1946. >> tradition is such a broad word. but what we found here at a&m is that true traditions will point you back to your core values. some of the biggest traditions, , they have started as corps traditions and has evolved and developed as the university has grown around the corps. some of those include the 12th man. in 1922, a former football athlete, but during the season he transitioned into basketball. during the first half of a game, they realized they had so many injuries that they did not know if they would be able to field a full team. so they brought him out of the stands in order to satisfy the requirement in case he had to go into play. he did not actually play, but it was the idea that i will be ready to serve my community, serve my team and my school in whatever capacity they need. that is where you get the 12th man. what we found is that the 12th man spreads out not just in athletics, being ready to participate in a sport, but across the community it is about selfles

he was invited to the white house to meet with dwight eisenhower. now must be said that dwight eisenhower had no interest in classical music, when his press secretary was asked whether or not clyburn play during the visit, he said i don't think so and he did not people read reckless accounts of clyburn's every move in newspapers and magazines they were portraits at opinion pieces and discussions of his baptist routes moscow would somehow transform the u.s.-soviet relationship. can one imagine such a thing today? with the overseas accomplishments of a classical musician capture the attention of america's political leaders or the country's newspapers and magazines? would we have a tickertape parade that would attract 100, 000 delirious fans held for an artist with a gift for playing tchaikovsky? i think we know the answer to that is no, but in an earlier time, a pianist's triumph could mesmerize the american people. few would question the notion that classical music has little relevance in contemporary america. it's collection -- its connection to the

president dwight eisenhower got on national tv to explain why she sent the marines into harms way. the year before eisenhower laid out what was now called the eneisenhower doctrine the first time an american president has had to the american people and the world the middle east is vital to the national interest no president in school than ever identified them as vital to the national interest. it's very interesting what you laid out as crucial to the interest. he said there are two crucial interests. one is everybody knows it is legal. second, the middle east is theon birthplace of the great religion of islam they couldn't allow them to take over the birthpla birthplace. it's very interesting that eisenhower in 1957 did not identify the defense of israel as the strategic vital interest of the united states. they would never look at it in thoseid ways. july 15, 1958 they gave an explanation as to why they were there and essentially what he said was the coup in iraq the previous day the 14th of july in which the most pro-western government in the middle east have been overground as a

on march 3rd 1958 the king of saudi arabia between nixon and dwight eisenhower told the american ambassador saudi arabia they were underway to overthrow the syrian government to wake up the republican 48 hours later the syrian intelligence service announced they had a plot to assassinate nasser that was spearheaded by the king not only did they have evidence by blowing up his airplane they had canceled checks to the plot makers as if you overthrow the regime do not sign the check. [laughter] so now by 1958 he was ike's favorite alternative. the head of saudi arabia and the defender of the two holy mosques which a more moderate pro-western version and the eisenhower administration used him to counter nasser. the year before the king had come to the united states and was the first saudi king to ever visit the united states. 's visit was planned for nine days it lasted 12. the king had indicated he would bring 80 people with him he brought almost 200 there were so many studies in the delegation they could not all fit in blair house they literally set up tents to house the rest of the saudi del

dwight eisenhower made it into the top five. he started out 20 years ago in ninth place and interesting to think about what we are observing about the presidency and what work we have learned over 20 years about how we conducted an people are rating him higher. bill clinton started out as 21st place. remember, it was in 2000, right after the impeachment. then by the time he did the survey, eight years later, he moved to 15 and he has stayed in 15th in this last survey as well. ulysses s grant. this is an interesting one. 33rd place to 22nd. i'm sure we will learn more from our historians perspectives about why he is rising up in their estimation. you might also remember there has been a big grant biography published. there is an interesting impact of successful biographies on the view we have of presidents. think about harry truman and the on theof that biography public perception of harry truman. ok, so now we're going to go to the 2017 survey, which is the organizing principles for our book of collected reviews. -- collected i

on march 3, 1958, the king of saudi arabia here in the middle between richard nixon and dwight eisenhower told the american ambassador in saudi arabia that a plot was underway to overthrow the syrian government and break up that united republic. forty-eight hours later the syrian intelligence service said they'd broken up a plot to assassinate that was being spearheaded by the king. not only did they have evidence they intended to assassinate him by blowing up his airplane, they had the canceled check signed by the king to the plot makers message to self, don't sign the checks. if you're going to over throw a regime. by 1958 he had become ike's favorite alternative to eisenhower. the king of saudi arabia, defender of the two holy mosques, was a much more moderate pro-western version. the eisenhower administration hoped they could use him to counter the president. a year before, the king had come to the united states, he was the first saudi king to ever visit the knighted states. his visit was planned for nine days. it ended up lasting 12 days. the king said he'd bring 80 people with him h

dwight, welcome back to the program. i wonder if you would act as your reporter on the whole testing process. i know you've got tests out there. can you tell us how many tests you've got, this is for whether you've got the virus or not, whether you are carrying it. how does it work and how fast do you get the results? can you report on that for us? >> certainly. the test that we do detects the actual virus in the patient. the test takes about 90 minutes from start to finish. that includes taking the sample from the patient, doing an extraction of the virus and then putting it into a pcr machine which takes about 45 minutes to an hour to give a result. now, the actual sample from the patient can be something from the nose, the back of the throat, and of course, a new test that is doing it with saliva. stuart: that's the spit in a cup test. do you have that, dwight? >> we are doing that with a company called oral dna labs. they are an innovator in saliva tests and they have a great test in that area. stuart: do you see thi

and extraordinary it's not dwight eisenhower, it's herbert hoover who carried texas and several other southern states. the assumption is he only carried them as a major of the anti-catholic bias that existed in the deep south. and that cleary was a factor. but there's another factor and that is the gratitude that people in the deep south felt because hoover was the face of release at the time of the floods. the only person certainly the only person with government who had tried to address their needs. the harding story concludes in -- they built the harding tomb, a great big hollow drum in ohio, but they couldn't get anyone to dedicate it. coolidge wouldn't go and dedicate it. 7 years after harding died hoover took a train to marion, and he dedicated it. and not only did he dedicate it, but he used his speech to single out people in the audience who had been crooks in the harding administration, people who had hastened the president's death. it was a very gutsy thing to do. >> how was he picked by the republican party to be the candidate, and how big did he win against al smith? >> in

include the kind of resilience investment that we need to because of sea level rise. 19 56, president dwight d. highwayer signed the act which paved the way for the interstate system to be built. >> after world war ii, this country began developing a case of acute congestion. congress responded with the federal aid highway act of 1956, providing this staggering sum of $51 billion spent on highway 19 the most through talked about part is the into invite -- interstate highway system. mineral it was passed, -- there were many other federal aid acts. it was not until 26 years later that a bill, the service 1972portation act of 19 -- provided funding for these roads. >> as this bill becomes law, america ends a decline in the vast transportation system. because of the prompt and bipartisan action of congress, we can ensure for our children a special part of their heritage, a network of highways and mass transit that has enabled our commerce to thrive, our country to grow, and people to run freely over every corner of our land. >> in 1987, five years after passing the service transportation act, co

in the audience was general dwight eisenhower and his wife. i'm sure you all know general eisenhower is the one that led the allied invasion of normandy. in his closing remarks in honor of general marshall he said all he wants to do is retired to his farm in virginia with mrs. eisenhower. [laughter] well, as soon as he said, people began to laugh. he immediately recognized his mistake and quickly and clearly set up my apologies to the general. at that point, general eisenhower pointed out which general. i do not rely solely on the discussions with members of his family. i also had access to it with documents. no documents wa document was mot than his diary. through his long diplomatic career almost every evening during the week andro on weeken, he would sit at his desk in his pipe between his teeth, his typewriter in front ofnc him and he would write what has happened and what he thought and thee previous day. i have access to pages of diaries and i knew almost everything he did i knew what time he got up in the morning. i knew that his favori

[laughter] i was dwight eisenhower's chief of staff during world war ii. walter smith. i could also ask a tougher question, i resigned as director to take a better job, that was also smith. the better job interestingly was undersecretary of state which back in 1962 and 1963 was a much more prestigious position than the director of central intelligence. i later became chief of staff of the air force. nope. check out the military uniforms. [laughter] >> we only have two air forcers up there. and i will also add i am the only dci who became the namesake for an important military post. military installation. vandenberg air force base. that is hoyt vandenburg who took the job as director, as a stepping stone to becoming chief of staff of the air force. it was a different world in the late 1940's which is why i say sometimes in history the director of central intelligence was not a very prestigious position. here is one with four answers so you will at least get one right. i served in the o.s.s. we heard dulles, that is correct. who else? helms. not bush. did i hear colby? ye

dwight eisenhower, who was president, didn't even necessarily agree with all of that opinion, yet sentops to little rock to integrate little rock high school. you and i have talked about how lyndon johnson in the 1960s walked on eggshells to make sure that enforcement of the civil rights act and voting rights would not threaten a civil war in this country. you did not have a president, you know, doing the equivalent of tweeting, liberate, you know, various states governed by democratic governors. i would point out today is the anniversary of the day in 1861 that virginia seceded from the union. not a great day for our president to be talking about liberating virginia and the second amendment. >> and, michael, we also have this new dynamic entering the conversation, admittedly on the right. as i mentioned, a lot of fox news prime time is devoted to this. i'm going to play for you some audio that surfaced earlier this week. this is republican congressman named hollingsworth of indiana. >> it is always the american government's position to say, in the choice between the loss of our way of

and extraordinarily, you know, it is not barry goldwater who broke the solid south or dwight eisenhower was herbert hoover who carried texas and some other southern states. the assumption is that he only carried them as a measure of the anti-catholic bias that existed in the deep south, and that clearly was a factor, but there is another factor that tends to get overlooked. and that was the gratitude that people in the deep south felt because hoover was the face of relief at the time of the floods. you know, the only person really, certainly the only person associated with government who had tried to address their needs. i mentioned the harding story concludes in 1930 -- they built g, hollow drum in marion ohio, but they could not , get anyone to dedicate it. coolidge would not go and dedicate it. and hoover, in 1930, seven years after harding died, hoover took a train to marion, and he dedicated it. not only did he dedicate it, but he used his speech to single out people in the audience in the harding administration who he felt had hastened the president's death. i mean, it was a very

in the audience was general dwight d eisenhower and his wife may me. i'm sure you all know the general eisenhower is the one who led the allied invasion of normandy. in his closing remarks in honor of general marshall grew said all he wanted to do was retire to his farm in virginia with mrs. eisenhower. as soon as he said that people began to laugh. grew immediately recognized his mistake and quickly and clearly said, my apologies to the general. at that point general eisenhower blurted out, which general? i did not rely solely on discussions with members of grew's family. i also had access to a lot of documents. no documents was more important than grew's diary. this guy was incredibly disciplined, through his long diplomatic career, almost every evening during the weekend on weekends he would sit at his desk, his pipe clinched between his teeth, his smith corona typewriter in front of him and he would write out what had happened, what had been said and what he had thought the previous day. i had access to thousands of pages of grew's diary. i knew al
