dwight d. eisenhower. interesting back story to him. he graduated in 1915. and then four years after he graduated in 1919, he accompanied an army convoy that went from the west coast to the east coast. and that journey took 62 days. and it appalled eisenhower. he was really in a lot of ways disgusted by it. he saw army vehicles getting stuck in mud. that was the condition of roads back then. just really crude, primitive path ways for vehicles to travel on. and he recognized that this was a real problem. it was a problem for the economy because it hampered economic development. when you have transportation networks that are that crude, it impedes the transportation, the movement of goods and services. he also is a military man recognized that it represented a threat to national security. in case of an emergency, you couldn't move military vehicles very easily along those kinds of roadways. so, i think that experience had a formative impact on him. it stuck in the back of his mind. and then during world war ii, he was in europe. and in germany, he saw the netw

historians say supreme allied commander dwight d. eisenhowered to put off liberating paris. the reason? to focus on other missions. but a french commander told him at the time, if the allies don't help, he would send in his own troops on his own. after two days of fighting, and it was fierce, allies forces reached the center of paris and the german general surrender. it continued for days and days and u.s. troops got a hero's welcome 74 years ago. today. it has big, big day on the dell, stocks were down, but they hit the green by about 10:30 this morning wall street time and stayed in the game only about two tenths of a percent. leading the charge, the tech company. microsoft, google, apple. amazon was up $65 a share at last check. amazon is right around, not too far from, $2,000 per share. incredible, right? right after this newscast, we will be on facebook watch which is where we are every day. for facebook watch, live updates from your friends at fox. stories to take you through the day. you can find is now on your facebook feed at facebook

i'm an 8th or 9th cousin of dwight d. eisenhower. we pennsylvania germans are all related in one way or another. my dad's family all came from redding. i have had a passion for the first world war for the past 30 years. this passion originates, yes, in the study of history. i've always loved history. i am related to alvin c. york, a third cousin of mine on my mom's side. so there's a little bit of a connection there. i had the honor of meeting his family. just a few weeks ago over in knoxville, tennessee. they are great, wonderful people. filled with respect. his grandson is a vietnam veteran colonel. his great-granddaughter still runs the york site there. his son and daughter in law were there. they're wonderful people. for me the connection of the first world war originates with the fascination with the human experience. of warfare. the human experience of the unprecedented. the unfathomable. the unimaginable. this was our entry. this was the modern world entry into a century that wreaked terrible devastation. things that we could

and that ladies and gentlemen is the keynote of my book the constant discovery of dwight d eisenhower's talents with natural leadership and his skills eisenhower was better than i thought and i can see why he was president of the united states i have repeated that to myself frequently over eight years of toil and i really do believe he is better than many of us have ever thought and i want to carry on to give that example. but before i do that to dwell on this phenomenon that eisenhower never should have been underestimated. years or decades how did that happen? and ike was underestimated as a politician even before he openly started to run 51 or 5528 years in office in the ten years after and then he is styled as a lightweight and a likable man. lazy leader but was often thought to be callous and distant and cold. it's not at all how it turned out. it is the central paradox of the presidency and his two-time opponents. in his famous quotation with his way out of office he will not be like the army like this in mind that nothing will happen. that describes the truman presidency. changin

in world war ii, president dwight d. eisenhower, most fitting because he was the supreme allied commander during the war. vice president richard nixon was the next of kin for the korean war unknown soldier. fast-forward to 1984, president reagan was next of kin for the vietnam unknown soldier. this was what in 1958 the tomb of the unknowns soldier looked like. again, the tomb where world war i was buried. you have world war ii and the korean war unknown soldier. in 1984, america was dealing with the issues of the vietnam war. you have to admit, we didn't treat our soldiers very well, not like today. when i came home from war it was vastly different. there was plenty of political pressure to find and designate an unknown soldier from the vietnam conflict. if you have never had the opportunity to listen to colonel patricia blassie give her presentation about what her family went through as the government identified her brother as an unknown soldier and laid him in arlington national cemetery, i suggest you go on youtube and listen to

that's how dwight d. eisenhower used his farewell address.onald reagan like a lot of conservatives i style know, ronald reagan decided to use his farewell address to america to talk about a country that still welcomes refugees and immigrants from across the globe, not because we're doing them a favor, but because that's who we are. >> yep. >> my god, i almost feel like we need to show that clip of reagan just about every day to remind a small segment of this population once again who reagan believed we are, and who we have been for over 240 years. >> it was clear, speaking from his heart. the letter he received touched him because it touched the core of what america is, and he loves the country. that's what it's all about. back with joe, really and me, donny deutsche is with us along with republican strategist and nbc political analyst. the host of nbc's "politicsnation" and president of the national action network al sharpton. and john harwood joins us. columnist and deputy editorial page editor of the "the washington post" ruth marcus is wi

tree planted in the soil from each of the 48 states and dedicated in the honor of captain dwight d. eisenhower who was inaugurated the 34th president of the united states of america. this living testament is a tribute of the affection and high esteem of his 1918 tank war comrades. dedicated august 23, 1954, world war tank war association. the plaque also included the organization's insignia. in his address general parks remarked quote here at gettysburg national military park we're at the very heart of military traditions. i can think of no more appropriate spot in america to plant this pine tree which will commemorate the birthplace of the tank war and which will be a testimonial to the esteem held by the tank core veterans for their former commander president eisenhower, unquote. parks also mentioned that the living memorial is located on the site of the camp headquarters. in reality the headquarters was located about a block closer to town and on the other side of the road. unfortunately a date on the plaque also was wrong. eisenhower's inauguration is on january 20th not january 2nd. the r

. >> how many of you have heard of dwight d. eisenhower? have you read his last speech as president of the united states of american? what did he warned us about? >> military-industrial complex. >> the military-industrial complex. and i challenge you as cadets to actually think about that from a president celebrated military man who turned to civilian life and had this prescient look to the future of our country, and whether we need to act upon what president eisenhower was talking about back in 1956 -- >> sixty-one. >> sixty-one. the historian, thank you. >> so now that we have a few more minutes i do want to count all of you seem to be touching on the issues that the united states does not go to war or really find anything to be accomplished, gc if we go to work, keep the economy going or the defense industry going. if that with things have come to? my describing this properly? am i asking these students to be thinking that this source they get into more important positions, i'm reminded of previous secretary gates who said why is it that

we can go back to dwight d. eisenhower. this whole arc we pushed back on for years, we were wrong.sage. there's a whole industry now in the trump world of, you know, what i call the coal country christophs. the people that want to explain away the racial animus trump has ignited in a lot of these folks. there's a part of it, we have to call it out. i call it out in the book pretty directly. if a conservative party wants to survive in the future, it has to purge that. aggressively go after people who believe in that stuff, who touch the alt right, involved in this sort of explaining away trumpism in this regard. >> mika, you know, when you have unemployment at 3.9% and when donald trump himself says the economy's doing better than it's ever done before, which it's not, but it's still doing very well, it's kind of hard to say, oh, people are being racially incensensitive because the economy's so bad. that's just in the words of my friend rick wilson, that's just chicken bonk. >> yes, or something else. the book is "everything trump touches dies." it's out tomorrow. rick wilson, thank

dwight eisenhower was running for president, he didn't defend marshall. he was a junior officer who was plucked out by marshall and given battlefield command, taken over the d-day command ultimately. as he's running for president who shows up and gets on stage with the card he had originally planned to defend what this guy looks like as the father in oakland decided is too politically costly to defend the man who had made his career. as in our houses the trail he feels very guilty about, but the indication of just how powerful they were. >> you point out that it was at least for a time to marshal it that the d-day invasion that fdr decided he would build us through the night. but for that would have been marshall. you get something in the book that captures the way of marshall's approach to this issue of who lost china, which presumes that it could be saved in the first place. but he wrote that he believed in neither the communists could destroy the nationalists or the other way around that between them they could destroy china. he really had a sense of the cost of this for the people who were there. it wasn't just american need. >> in these moments when he
