east dwight eisenhower and richard nixon. the two men were at the center of the american political stage for over to the p.o. decades. it's even though nixon was eisenhower's vice-president, said they had a tense and often distrustful relationship. he writes about it in his new book. i spoke with him a little bit earlier. you remember eisenhower as a war hero and richard nixon as the disgraced president brought low by watergate. worthy meant more similar than we think? >> there personalities could not have been more different. nixon would always be nixon, always insecure. eisenhower but always be eisenhower. i asked somebody what he was like and they said that he would go all five star on you. >> eisenhower was very suspicious of political -- corera politicians. why did he choose him? >> he did not choose them. when eisenhower was nominated for president in 1952, he was not even aware that he made a choice. i am the one who does it? as opposed to the delegates. yes, it is you. >> why was the relationship so difficult for nixon

perhaps the perfect example is this gem where nixon is running for president in 1960 and dwight eisenhoweris asked about the vp's influence in the white house. >> i wondered if you could give us an example of a major idea of his that you adopted as the final -- >> if you give me a week i might think of one. i don't remember. >> oh. ouch. >> imagine obama doing that if biden's trying to replace him. devastating. that was a political ad for jfk and nearly beat nixon that year and win the presidency and that is just the beginning of the story. jeffrey frank gone to great lengths to document and piece together this complicated relationship in "ike and dick." he is also a senior editor at "the new yorker." welcome to the show, jeffrey. i guess where i start is i grew up and i think most people have an instinctive impression, probably not that inaccurate of nixon as a master of the dark arts. we have a very negative view of him instinctively and we have instinctively a positive view of eisenhower but reading your book and reading up more on their relationships over the years i find myself feelin

. >> dwight eisenhower wasn't a republican either because he wasn't a hawk. he took the heat for that because he was a guy who knew what's going on with the war. >> you're not officially a republican if you don't want to bomb iran. john mccain put it out there and said, basically, you know what? he was mean to president bush, he criticized the iraq war. his fellow members of the senate thought he was not a fellow republican. that's rich from john mccain who made it hit life's work to oppose him. >> is that chuck hagel who fathered a child and his wife who was a drug addict? yet he forgives those people. >> that's right. >> and he says -- i don't know. this must be some kind of weird draps poration or transportation of emotion. he exposed really what's behind his opposition to hagel. let's listen. >> there's a lot of ill will toward senator hagel because when he was a republican, he attacked president bush mer mercilously and was very anti-his own party and people. people don't forget that. >> well, he should have forgot the fact because he never said he was t

to finish that thought because it is important, rusher believed that modern republican under dwight eisenhowerwas president for eight years just wasn't ideological enough, wasn't anti-communist enough at home or abroad. rusher believes there is a communist that within the united states. more and more documentation of that was come out in the last 20 years after the opening of the ex-soviet archives. buckley also, a couple years younger than rusher, all adieu now probably he wrote.media which came out in 1951 after he graduated from yale. he has to bas and rusher shared that. he was a graduate of princeton prewar and during the war. buckley says gail is insufficiently respectful of religion despite its religious heritage and most elite academia in america. they don't present the free enterprise side of economics. or to keynesian. they are quasi-socialist. rusher agreed with all of that. but i think the greater affinity with buckley can be seen in buckley and his brother-in-law, brent purcell's 1964 book in which they save mccarthy has been a little too rough. he's made errors of judgment, but t

candidates from humble origins, whether it is richard nixon, ronald reagan, certainly herbert hoover, dwight eisenhower, jerry ford, and that is why george h w bush, another man who i like and admire enormously at the personal level -- an incredibly thoughtful man -- he reinforced the perception of the republicans as the party of the landed gentry. it became a problem in 1992. dislike the most? >> the 2012 campaign was a pretty bad campaign. >> because? >> i do not think either barack obama or mitt romney really likes politics that much. you have to have people who like politics. and run for president? their doctors. i do not think either one of them get much joy out of it. >> do you still get joy out of it? >> i do. not as much. there was a time when you would stay up late at night and -- everybody would have a funny story -- i think there is less of that now, and last letting down of hair. -- and less letting down of hair. there is a lot more control in the campaigns. a lot less accessibility. >> i remember, 40 years ago journalists like you would know these folks, having drinks with them and all tha

in fifth place, dwight eisenhower. ike saw just under 15% return on the s&p 500. fourth place, david, goes to harry truman. coming in third, gerald ford. the market enjoyed a 17% annualized total return during his time in office. the silver, bill clinton, 17.4%. that is just .1 a behind first place. that top spot goes to president barack obama the s&p 500 saw a 17.5% annualized total return during the president's first term in office. okay. just for kicks. here is how the three major indices fared under the president so far. we take a look. it has been a very decent rally since his first inauguration. s&p up nearly 70%. the dow, 77%. and take a look at the nasdaq, more than doubling at 108%. hopefully that is reflected in your 401(k)s and pensions and 529s. david: you have to think of the bottom of the market. the dow was 6,000 in march of 2009. the dow was at 6,000. it started over 14,000 just a year before he was in office. so again, when you start real low you can build real high. liz: don't count out american business coming back. david: of course not. markets

now, another former president and family farmers dwight eisenhower once commented that farming looksmighty easy, when your plow is a pencil and you are 1,000 miles from a cornfield. it is true. it is pretty simple for the speaker to toss out half baked notions, but don't take my recommendations about grain without a grain of salt. however, i have spent a fair bit of time reflecting on these issues. and i believe that if we reorient those four d's, how we engage the world, and put food security at the center, and encourage innovation through collaboration, education, and regulation, we are going to be moving in the right direction. but that is entirely up to us. those of us in this room and the millions of our -- farmers and business people and government officials and everyday citizens, the century and a half from now, will our grandchildren's children live in a world where only a few are fed or one where billions have their daily bread. will another long winded speaker be able to point to an incredible discovery developed in a lab this year? what will those seeds never be planted? n

not dominate, not impose, not dictate, not invade, not occupy, but go back to the time when dwight eisenhower, for example, went to denver, colorado, in 1953, gave a speech about atomic powerful. power. and he was very concerned about atomic weapons. where was this going to go? and he said, which manifested itself in the speech, why can't we harness atomic power for the good of society? why does atomic power have to be a weapon only? now, that genie had already been set free. and from that speech came, with the soviet union, by the way, seven countries went to the united nations and set up the first structures for non-proliferation. from that speech came atoms for peace. from that speech came the international atomic energy agency, the iaea. that's the kind of thinking we require today. that's the kind of framework we're going to need today, and we're capable of doing that. and i believe just like so many things in many our lives that if you define anything in one way, an election is about self-correction. and democracies have a wonderful way of self-correcting. sometimes it takes a little wh

thought because it is important, rusher believed that moderate republican administration under dwight eisenhower, who was president for eight years, just wasn't ideological enough, was in anti-communist enough either at home or abroad. rusher and believed them still significant communist threat within the united states, more and more documentation of that has, in the last 20 years after the opening of the ex-soviet archives. buckley also, a couple years younger than rusher, i'll let you know probably that he wrote got him in a gale which came a year after you graduate from yemen. he has two beasts with yale. rusher shared and accused a graduate of princeton, prewar and during the war. buckley says yale is insufficiently respectful of religion despite its religious heritage and religious heritage of most of the elite academia in america. also they don't present every enterprise side of economics. they are too changing, quasi-socialist. rusher agreed with all of that. but i think the greater affinity of buckley can be seen in buckley and his brother-in-law, brent mosel's 1984 book, mccarthy and hi

joe mccarthy was around when dwight eisenhower, a moderate republican, was running the country.lican party is at a moment when it needs to sort of modernize itself ideological. if a guy like ted cruz is the definition of what conservative purity is, that's a troubling development for the party because it's going to keep them in all these critical debates, it's going to keep them from moving to where the rest of the country is. >> ken, i struggle to understand this obsession with the soviet union and communists. we had alan west claiming that 79 members of the house of representatives were communists. we had mitt romney saying during the campaign that america's number one geo political foe was russia tp do they not realize that 1989 happened, that the berlin wall came down, that the soviet union and its satellite states actually collapsed? what's happening here? >> well, what's happening is that it is in many ways a throwback to the cold war era when republicans were really peaking at least from a foreign policy perspective and ronald reagan took a great deal of credit and is giv

dwight eisenhower wasn't a republican either because he wasn't a hawk, and he kept us out of indochinand the middle east, and he took the heat for that because he was a guy who knew what was going on in the world. >> right. >> and didn't believe in frivolous wars. >> you're not sufficiently republican if you don't want to bomb iran. it was ironic when john mccain put it out there and said basically, you know what? chuck hagel was mean to president bush, he relentlessly criticized the iraq war. his fellow members of the senate thought he was not a sufficiently loyal republican. that's pretty rich coming from john mccain who basically made it his life's work to oppose george w. bush. >> oh, i'm sorry, was it chuck hagel who said he had an illegitimate child with an african-american and that somehow produced a south asian young woman. that stuff about his wife being a drug addict. that was w's people. that was karl rove and that crowd. i don't know which of them did it, but one of them did it, yet he forgives those people and he says -- this must be some kind of weird transportation of em
