and for the republican party and dwight eisenhower, it worked. f voters and to bring in new people to the republican party. i think that's a really key thing here, thinking about how you can use a new medium to bring in individuals that may not have been engaged in the political process before. they may not be invested in voting like workers are, whose negotiating rights depended on building that new deal coalition, or farmers, who some some of their economic interests depended on these new programs. rather, you're appealing to media consumers, finding a way to get them invested emotionally into the political process. so one of the effect of things that eisenhower does is he brings these innovations from the campaign trail to the white house itself and transforms the white house into a production studio. and this is very literally. they took the basement -- or the basement kitchen of the white house and turned it actually into a production studio itself, with cameras. and he had the help of robert montgomery, who went from a campaign advisor on hi

made a very simple tactical decision which is that joe mccarthy wanted nothing more than for dwight eisenhower say i denounce senator joseph mccarthy. he would never do it. and he -- many of his advisers began to despair of his restraint in doing that. because eisenhower believed that more than anything what mccarthy wanted was the attention that would come in a face-to-face duel between eisenhower and maccar the. now you can read the letters he received from friends who said, mr. president, i feel that you're -- the end of the day you're missing an opportunity, not responding up to this bully women need your moral authority to weigh in it and torture its him there are moments when he made veiled attacks on maccar the, the dark incomes spieth, don't join in the book burners and thing lies think but didn't name him. and i think it was a tactical decision that its would destroy the republican party. when mccar i -- a republican part that's only just started to grow the issues that are pulling it back together into a unified party. when mccarthy was finally censures by the u.s. senate, many of yo

but perhaps a greater weakness dwight eisenhower a native of rural kansas said whatever america hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of america. the countryside is no more our nation's heart than are its cities. and they are more noble are dignified for their work in fields. but, to devalue in our social investment in our language. the people who tend crops and livestock. it is to forget not just a country's foundation but its connection to the earth. to cycles of life scarcely witnessed an ill understood. for the varied vision. i talk about him previously in this chapter they want and balance both economically and environmentally needs a strong chamber outside its metropolis. those places that we hear are dwindling the life force that flows back into that will likely be from other places. the meatpacking towns have become some of the most diverse places in the country. as immigrants stream and to take factory jobs. according to the 2010 census the hispanic population had grown by 60% in the last ten years. is a shift now without tension but one tha

from the white house 1968, the johnson white house, in this film that includes former president dwight eisenhower>> at walter reed army hospital, former president eisenhower suffered his seventh heart attack and went on the critical list in august. but the general had never taken kindly to defeat. when president and mrs. johnson visited him at walter reed hospital, they found that he had rallied and was in good spirits. as allied commander in world war ii, one of the countries general eisenhower helped liberate was czechoslovakia, pushing nazi tyranny from its boundaries. but just 23 years later, the central european republic was again ravaged by the forces of aggression. on august 20th, armies of the soviet union, poland, hungary, bulgaria and east germany invaded czechoslovakia, seizing control of the country in a few hours. soviet embassy lights burned late that hot and muggy evening in washington, even as russian tanks rumbled into prague. soviet ambassador anatoly dobrynin called to present moscow's official reason for the invasion. the memoranda which said that soviet-blocked forces had act

that too touches a touchstone and all of us pretty think of abraham lincoln, dwight eisenhower. presidential caravans moving across the country in this open train. you can see the casket with the flag draped over it, and it's just like a life's journey and his own journey from connecticut, the elite schools he grew up in an across the small towns in texas where people came from all over waving their small flakes to pay tribute to this man who really adopted texas as his home and now is going back there to be buried. now we see the bush family at the top of the stairs gathering. these are emotionally draining moments for families as they go through these kinds of long days of experience. let's watch as they remove the casket from the hearse in texas. ♪ ["star spangled banner" plays] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> martha: very moving. we just watch the final moments. we will not see the casket after this. the family is going inside for the private burial service as in the burial which will follow that. president george h.w. bush will be laid to rest next to a barbara bush, his wife

professional military people who make it a career, there should be a time when selected people like dwight eisenhower, ulysses grant goes to the senate or something, i think that's a good thing, but it shouldn't be viewed as a normal route into politics. because if that happened, if being a politician, senior politician in the u.s., was best facilitated by going through the military, being a general and doing that, you would change the officer corps. it would take a generation or so, but you would change it. we would be a lot like some countries whose governments we are not as comfortable with. so i think it ought to be an aberration, an occasional thing, but you don't want people entering the military because they think that's the way to get to be a senior politician, because we have separation, and the day we don't have separation, we will wish we had separation again. >> served 30 years in uniform in the military. since 2010 you have been in the private sector. are there things the military can learn from the private sector? >> absolutely. it's funny, we are sort of walled off from the private sec
