spends money on and this is of course a warning that came decades ago also from president dwight d. eisenhower in his farewell address back in one thousand sixty one i want to play just a little bit about what he said and then talk about its relevance today. in the councils of government we must car guard against the acquisition of government that influence whether sought or loans on by the military industrial complex the potential for the disastrous rise of this place power exists and will persist all right lou to what extent is this military industrial complex strong enough to remain as it is i mean when you think about americans and you look at polls people are sick of war and the ron paul school of thought continues to pick up steam that the government should not be involved in or finance these wars i mean do you think eisenhower's fear which arguably has happened sustain. well of course it's exactly right i mean there are probably three big interest groups about the corporate state that are in league with the government now the wall street banking complex you have the big pharma medical c

let that influence whether sought or known by the military industrial complex the morning of dwight d. eisenhower spoken more than fifty years ago is being reverberated today this time by ron paul who also says the us is on a dangerous path toward fascism i'll tell you what keeps this presidential candidate up at night. there's a wise old greek proverb that the person who borrows. becomes the slave who he borrows from and on your marks they get set bail out european ministers are meeting in belgium to plug the holes in greece's economy what's at stake and what does it mean for your finances well explore. is this another step potentially on the road to road to potentially making nuclear weapons and iran's nuclear potential has lawmakers and media outlets crying wolf but haven't we seen this story somewhere before isn't this the equivalent of iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction and is fear and not to send us into yet another war. good afternoon it's monday february twentieth five pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for you watching our team. well it's president's day today and we're in the f

of the 31 presidents rated, dwight d. eisenhower ranked 31st. he was tied with chad arthur. just above andrew johnson. most of these academics would have agreed at that time with the presidential scholar louis kuhning who said eisenhower would be presenting his appetite for leisure and recreation while leading the day to day administration of his office to trust the assistant to the president sheryl an axe. over the past 50 years, however, these earlier assess ams of eisenhower as a well meaning, but bumbling political novice have been challenged. the corrections of official records like right here at the eisenhower and personal papers and eisenhower revisionists have constructed a new edge in which the president emerges as a capable, clever, executive that led the nahition with a strong hand and a clear vision. the new scholarship has enhanced ike's reputation dramatically. a new poll placed eisenhower ninth. he then in 1990 slipped to 15th. the sienna college research institute poll. ike had once again moved back into the top ten leaving aside some guy named kennedy. althou

frank wolf is asking a federal panel to reject a design for a memorial honoring president dwight d. eisenhower. >> objects to the design. architect proposed a memorial park framed by large metal tapestries depicting the home in kansas. his role as a military hero and president would be represented in stone on a smaller scale. the family says the design over emphasizes eisenhower's roots and neglects his accomplishments, which were large indeed. still ahead, it's a skill being dropped in the driving test. it's absolutely essential to live and move around here. >>> back now with a commuter alert for just about everyone considering riding metro this weekend. trains will be single tracking on various parts of the red and green lines and on the orange line. shuttle buses will replace trains between the east and trains stations. and between the huntington and stadium-armory stations. definitely time to pack your patience. lesli. >> all right anita. remember five years ago when lexus introduced a car that can parallel itself? the skill that is so vital in our area is taking another hit in the distric

in the book "the presidency of dwight d. eisenhower" chester page jr. and elmo richardson explained that in addition to political concerns, eisenhower was also part of a culture so inured to segregation that he was blinded to the commonplace injuss that it fostered and the power hierarchies that it maintained. his acceptance of this system came from his life experiences such as growing up in kansas, where segregation was practiced. working in the segregated military, and socializing with friends who made jokes about black people. his experiences probably also made him instinctively aware of the violent response that would result from any attempt to change the system. quote, if we attempt merely by passing a lot of laws to force someone to like someone else, he warned, we are just going to get into trouble. unquote. with these words, i can imagine him echoing the thoughts of many white people in both the north and the south who envisioned a day when african-americans would be treated as equal americans and an equal part of society, just not right now, or

dwight d. eisenhower. this time it's from a u.s. congress member. frank wolf. he sent a letter to the national capital planning commission and in it, wolf says he is worried that the approval process is being rushed and won't have public support. his request is in addition to the one from the eisenhower family, which last month asked for the delay because they are upset with the memorial's design. >> virginiaens have just a few days left to register if they want to vote in the state's presidential primary. the deadline is on monday. if you plan on registering in person, you must do so before 4:30. those mailing in their registration must have it postmarked with monday's date. the presidential primary is scheduled for march 6. >>> the recent occupy protests have one maryland town with a ban. last month, protesters camped out for a week in the carol creek park. right now, sleeping overnight is banned in city parks, but there's no law specifically addressing camping. the city is now drafting an ordinance that would limit the length of campouts and set sanitary sta

dwight d. eisenhower's driver during world war ii. this is about an hour. >> good morning, ladies and gentlemen. i hope that those of you who were here yesterday enjoyed the proceedings. i thought we had a very full program of interesting panelists and speakers. i hope you agree. and should get even better today, i think. thank you for getting up at this early morning hour on saturday to be with us for a full day of adventure as we listen to some great stories from some great heroes from a number of conflicts that the country has been in over the past 70 years. we take pride in the fact that we have a lot of students come to the conferences. different groups all three days. we're expecting yet more to come in today. i'm also proud to say that for the first time we have representatives from all five of the service academies with us. the united states military academy at west point, the u.s. naval academy in annapolis and the coast guard and merchant ma marine academies which are new this year. we want to build this representation up ev

this convention to accept your nomination as the running mate that americans of our time, dwight d. eisenhower. eight years ago i had the highest honor of accepting your nomination for president of the united states. tonight i again proudly accept that nomination for president of the united states. bullet i have news for you. this time there's a difference. this time we're going to win. we're going to win for a number of reasons. first, a personal one. lies critically ill in the walter reed hospital tonight. i have talked however with mrs. eisenhower on the telephone. she tells me that his heart is with us, and she says that there is nothing that he lives more for and there is nothing that would lift him more than for us to win in november. i say, let's win this one for ike! >> pat buchanan. >> that was a great night down there in miami. i remember eisenhower's at walter reed, and i can remember when ike died aa few months later, i believe, and we were by then in the white house. the old man dais -- we called he old man by then. his limousine headed out to walter reed. that was a great moment

money to build up a military infrastructure against the population exactly what president dwight d. eisenhower warned about his farewell speech back in ninety six he won't be where the military industrial complex and the quote technocratic elite that controls us that's the full quote in rome it was the military used by caesar internally that took over in nazi germany in napoleon's france this is always the danger in third world countries today and in ancient nations this is classic and these politicians in a revolving door are invested in these drone companies the body scanning companies all of it and they're getting incredibly rich off of setting up surveillance and weapons systems against the people and the. it is really frightening now as you mentioned it's the military as of now that has been using these drones but this new bill would allow companies to use the aircraft of how do you expect companies especially big companies think google and companies like that to use this technology. well that's the problem because of technology getting so inexpensive and robotics and factories would cost

spends money on and this is also a warning that came decades ago fifty years ago from president dwight d. eisenhower and his farewell address back in one nine hundred sixty one i want to play a little bit about what he said and then talk about its relevance today. in a counter look government we in the car guard against the acquisition of i don't want it influence whether sought or loans or by the military industrial complex the potential for the dissenters right in this place over exists and will persist. so michael talk a little bit about this message from eisenhower somewhat similar today from ron paul and what it all means in you know for today especially with considering how many people are really just sick of the wars that we've been fighting in for the last ten years. well with the codification of many wishes worst excesses in terms of foreign policy by obama it's become clearer that it's virtually impossible for the american citizenry to signal disapproval of military industrial complex by way of electoral and i think that's what ron paul was speaking to with his comments of the week and. so

>>out of this small frame house in abilene, kanasas came the man dwight d. eisenhower. >>he was kind of the candidate from the heartland. >>coming from outside washington to come in and kind of clean things up and you have that repeating year after year. you have jimmy carter the peanut farmer, then ronald regan is going to come in and clean things up. governor bill clinton coming in from the south an other southern governor. so it's always time for a change in american politics and that seems to keep a lot of campaigns going. but the washington outsider strategy doesn't always work. >>who's the best qualified person up here on the stage to create jobs? >>current tv's look at campaign ads that changed history is brought to you by pradaxa. a great tasting mint core, frosted in powerful cooling crystals. ice breakers frost. feel the frost. >> we are back on the young turks. we were telling you last week about a heinous bill in virginia involves transvaginal ultra sounds, which is gross. the governor backed down and said all right, we're going to take that part out, but th

virginia congressman wants a federal panel to reject a design for a memorial honoring president dwight d. eisenhowerl capital planning commission, congressman frank wolf says the memorial plans should be scrapped because eisenhower's family says the concept overemphasizes his boyhood kansas background. the family wants the memorial to put more emphasis on his achievements during world war ii and in the white house. in his letter, wolf echoed the family's objection saying, "president eisenhower was a towering figure of the 20th century. i agree with susan eisenhower that depicting her grandfather as a bareftse adolescent is inappropriate for a memorial on the national mall and would not convey the importance of his achievements." >>> an organizer of the martin luther king jr. memorial is criticizing plans to remove an inscription from the monument. the quote on the memorial social security, "i was a drum major for justice peace and righteousness." the original quote was much longer. the president and ceo of the memorial says changing it will threaten the design, structure, and integrity of the memori

in the 1950s under dwight d. eisenhower who nobody considered a socialist, we had a marginal income tax on the top earners, the equivalent of people earning a million today that was, if you include all of the deductions, all the tax credits, was about 52%, and the economy did fine. in fact, the economy grew in the 1950s faster than it grew today. >> the economy in the 1950s. >> why are you so concerned about raising tax when we have -- >> three recessions in the 1950s. >> we have a gigantic budget deficit. let's try to deal with that. >> all right, robert. i'm just going to repeat this. the economy in the 50s had three recessions. but what is different from the '50s and the '80s and the '90s is senator hutchison, i'll go to you on this. all these foreign governments have been slashing their corporate rates and capital gains rates. while they are cutting taxes for investment, we want to raise tax rates for investment. that's the stupid part i don't get. >> of course we already have the highest corporate tax rate in the world

dwight d. eis eisenhower said he would seek a second term.ffered a heart attack that led to speculation he would not run again. he beat adlai stevenson by more than 9 million votes and one could argue dwight eisenhower is america's least ideological president in the 20th senn ture century, but we'll discuss that at a later date. both candidates arrive on super tuesday states with the political imprint from last night's results. alex wagner host of "now with alex wagner" on msnbc at noon, 9:00 pacific, and errol louis is host of inside city hall on new york one. welcome, one and all. mitt romney win or rick santorum win last night? >> mitt romney won it, and he revealed his just immense flaws as a candidate, that he just reeled from gaffe to gaffe, couldn't deliver anything resembling a message. it was all his fault, he could have talked about the economy and he would have won the state. >> i want to stay with you for a minute because you retweeted something, and, you know, you like when sometimes tweets get a little bit off the reservation. s
