dwight eisenhower continued to support south vietnam. after the geneva accords, he continued to agree to put a small amount of advisors into vietnam. john kennedy continued to increase the number of advisors. he increased military aid to south vietnam. we learned in a prior class that kennedy would not have had the united states remain in the vietnam. in fact, he had specific plans for a withdrawal of the advisors. after john kennedy's assassination, lyndon johnson rescinded the jfk order of withdrawal. as in the case of kennedy, johnson was concerned about the upcoming election to guide his options in vietnam. even after winning the election of 1964, lyndon b. johnson was not clear about what to do with what he called the little country in asia. the tapes and documents of the time indicate he knew he could not win in vietnam. he nonetheless chose war. when nixon was elected in 1968, he ordered the strong-armed technique of massive bombing, to bring the north vietnamese to the peace table. from the statistics we reviewed in class, we lea

whether it the national security founded by dwight eisenhower or element of the pentagon founded in the40s, none of this stuff is, you know, it's not easy for the president, it's not native to him and he has this free wheeling, independent swashbuckling that goes on and it's overconfidence. so all of that shows up as a perhaps somebody that's looking -- i hate to say it that way. i don't want to put down people living in a nursing home to be honest, but with the president, the big issue, chris, is that those 16 cabinet level positions, the 190 sub departments are in complete and total disarray. i think what the anonymous book is trying to warn people of is you have a system where the administrative process of the executive branch have completely broken down under president trump. >> i don't agree with it being anonymous. i'm thinking this will probably be another "primary colors" deal. if you want to say things like this, own them. come out and say it. if there's a ris risk to you, it's one thing. this isn't about passing on classified information. let me get to another topic to you wit

in the bubble of mccarthy, dwight eisenhower failed to make a speech to denunsate mccarthy based on the criticism he was giving to george marshal. he folded the speech due to political expediency. eisenberg said this was one of the biggest times of his political career, he couldn't stand up to mccarthy. that's what the republicans are like right now. one of those republicans, man or woman, will say enough is enough, i'm voting against this guy when it comes time to impeach him. >> you're talking about mccarthy, roy cohen was whispering in mccarthy's ear. >> if they had a baby, it would be donald trump and he happens to be running the country. i'm just giving you the visual. >> the visual of those two actually having a baby is not something i wanted to think about. >> anyone can have a baby. this is a situation that's going to unfold. and there's more lawlessness. there will be more facts that come out that are more damning than the current facts that are out right now. we're doing a very, very good job on the ground in these swing states. yes, some of those swing states the president is

barack obama is no dwight eisenhower. the day is over. word in the title former president is "former." it's over. however much he thinks he can direct advance, it's not going to happen. >> gregg: yeah, what's amazing, rachel, is how conspicuously silent obama has been about biden peered on the campaign trail, every speech, biden says, obama was my bff. political magazine is reporting that obama made derisive comments about biden. one quote was, you know who really doesn't have it? joe biden. what do you make of it? >> i don't agree with anything as far as the former president obama's policies but i will say this, he is a great politician. he sees that it is going to take a very formidable and strong person to go up against donald trump, who is a fighter and has a record, has a booming economy to go up against. he is warning the liberals here, he is a socialist. in my heart i believe obama is a socialist. he agrees with everything aoc and bernie sanders stands for but he is a smart politician who says, listen, you can't take the mask off d

as general dwight eisenhower said, optimists win wars, not pessimists.re talking about a visionary whose timetable is accelerated too much. it is doable. there is no law of physics preventing the mission laid out. charles: right. some say general custer was too optimist i can, right? if that is the case, should we put more resources into it? should it be elon musk the visionary if it is so doable and so perhaps appealing to mankind, should this be a freighter mission for everyone? >> it should be. who is setting the agenda? nasa is no longer setting the agenda. private enterprise is coming in. we have two visions of our role in outer space. elon musk wants to go to mars. >> jeff bezos wants to make the earth, into a garden, celestial guarden of eden with heavy industry in outer space. we have visionaries. as long as they pay the bills i'm all for it. charles: our viewers of the show are also. it is so remarkable because all the things feels like mankind ever come up with, no matter what, science fiction writing, whatsoever, we've been at some point able

. >> every president since john elnnedy, and arguably even dwight eisenhower has had to become a tv characterto be successful. and in fact i believe that if you look at the history of presidential debates, the candidates that are more successful with tv and project with only a couple of exceptions usually when the elections. he's the first president who has been a fictional tv character, and i think that really moves the ball into a strange and dangerous area. what do you mean by fictional tv character? he was never thend kind of guy that he was portrayed to be on the apprentice. he didn't, i mean, that was a game show that was rigged. his role was rigged. people who know him, he and i graduated from the university of pennsylvania the same year. i knew him as a developer in the 80s when i was a reporter there and he wasn't a decisive businessman. he was a show boat, he was a marketer and that's what he's made most of his money by the way is selling his name so that other people, developers could put his name on their buildings with some exceptions like his golf courses. but the role that the

he was from minnesota, conservative lawyer, a judge first appointed to the federal bench by dwight eisenhower. he became richard nixon's second appointment to the united states supreme court. but blackman was not nixon's first choice for the job. nixon's first two picks had pro-segregation records that got unearthed or dissected during the confirmation process. both of them were ultimately rejected by the senate which was a big and embarrassing blow for nixon. so for his third try nixon chose harry blackman because he was seen as so uncontroversial he would be hard for anybody to vote against. >> judge blackman made a good first impression and the senators will vote to decide his fate and barring the unexpected his nomination should sail through. thus far no one has even asked to testify against him. but the unexpected aural has occurred twice, so most senators still are not committing themselves. >> the find a super uncontroversial guy strategy worked for that nomination. harry blackman's nomination to court was unanimously approved by the u.s. senate. on june 9, 1970, he was sworn in to the

the reality is most of them have bought that the trump party -- they're no longer the party of dwight eisenhowerven ronald reagan and certainly not the bushes and they are totally attached to trump and will do whatever they can to support him and when they do things not for the basis or the benefit of their country or even their party but of an individual, a cult figure who has taken over their party that's scary to america because that's authoritarianism happening. and they're not taking independent -- >> have you seen anything that we haven't? in the next process -- in the next step in this process, for the judiciary committee which you sit on to get the intelligence committee's report on their findings. have you heard when that report might come? >> well, i suspect we'll have it when we return on december the 3rd. although i can't speak to the -- a lot of information to be sifted through and we'll probably have it around the 3rd. >> well, we look forward to whatever is in it. thank you for so much for joining me today. >> you're welcome. nice to be with you. >>> are americans watching the imp

whether it is the national security council, funded by dwight eisenhower or elements of the pentagoneasy for the president. it's not native to him and he has this free willing independent swash bucking that goes on and it is overconfidence. so all of that shows up as a, perhaps somebody, i hate to say it that way. i don't want to put down people living in a nursing home, to be honest. but with the president, the big issue is that those 16 cabinet level positions, the 190 somebody departments are a complete and total disarray. so what the "anonymous" book is trying to warn people of, you have a system where the administrative processes of the executive branch have completely broken down under president trump. >> so you agree the assessment of the book. i don't agree with it being anonymous. i'm thinking this should be another primary colors deal. anonymous winds up being the writer there. joe kline. if you want to say things like this, own them. if there is a risk to you, that's one thing. this isn't about passing on information. this is a political commentary. let me get to another t

information about the fact that richard nixon was a criminal, by the way, the judge was appointed by dwight eisenhower. he was no democratic partisan. and leon jararsky was a democrat but a conservative democrat, in fact, that's why the nixon white house chose him. they both concluded nixon was a crook and the problem is, how do you get that information to the house? and one of the weaknesses in the constitutional approach to impeachment is that it's not clear that a criminal president doesn't have enough power to prevent evidence that would prove him to be criminal to get to the house. so you have in a sense, the constitution rests on the assumption that either the data you need to make this judgment is available to everyone or that the president will willingly hand it over. and the problem here was that richard nixon was engaging in a act of cover-up and obstruction of justice. the tapes, the tape they heard, because nixon wanted to stave off impeachment right after the saturday night massacre and he turned over the eight tapes that had been requested but there were many, many more including the fam

dwight david eisenhower. what was his role in this? >> it's an interesting story because at the present time he was very disappointed that he didn't get to europe during world war i. most of his west point teammates did. he was contemplating resigning from the military and he heard about this trip at the last minute. he had to go to the campsite where they spent the first night but it really kept him in the military and of course that changed his life and changed the history of the u.s. >> so let's watch this film "the u.s. army motor convoy" and who had the idea of filming this? >> the u.s. military wanted to film it because first of all they wanted to be able to show people back in washington, the military leadership, here's the condition of the roads, here's the condition of the vehicles and which vehicles performed well or not and they wanted to record it for history but because they realized that this would be an historic trip so they wanted to have a record of it for everyone who would be interested. >> as we watch this film, whe

young army lieutenant colonel who would go on to serve as president of the united states, dwight david eisenhower, what was his role in this? >> well, he was -- it's an interesting story because at the time, he was very disappointed that he didn't get to europe during world war i. most of his west point classmates did get to europe. so he was disillusioned and actually contemplating resigning from the military. then he heard about this trip. he heard about it at the last minute and so he had to rush to join the trip. he couldn't even get to the starting point, he had to go to the campsite where they spent the first night. but it really kept him in the military, and of course that changed his life and changed the history of the u.s. >> so let's watch this film, the u.s. army motor convoy. who had the idea of filming this and turning this into a 25-minute silent film, documentary? >> well, the u.s. military wanted to film it because, first of all, they wanted to be able to show people back in washington, the military leadership, here is the condition of the roads, here is the condition of the vehic

finally, dwight eisenhower comes along and drags the republican party kicking and screaming into the cold war and says we can't be isolationist anymore. he made the republican party accept its world responsibilities. that was just half the equation, because after eisenhower, republicans remained a minority in a very, they weren't in broad based party. it took reagan to complete that transformation. he talked about supply-side economics, he talked about growth, he talked about optimism, talked about everybody having a job, being able to go as far as they could go. optimistic approach as opposed to, we have to balance the budget and can't go too far in this direction. he talked about things he thought were possible. he expanded the party yet again. it was that construct of the party that existed for 30 years until 2016 and the party is changing again. where would the party be without reagan? had he lost the north carolina primary in 1976, i don't know. the standard i guess would be the standard republican party of nixon. maybe somebody else, maybe jack kemp, would have come along. crai

general dwight d. eisenhower who was a chief planner for general marshall wrote a memo in february of 1945 when he said the three essentials for winning the british in, the russians in, and preventing a linkup of japan and germany across the indian ocean. this reinforces the same point. if the japanese and germans had achieved this linkup, it would have, at a minimum, have protracted the war immensely. we are down to just a couple minutes left. i wanted to say that i much appreciate our panelists today. i think we have time for water two quick questions. does anyone have any question to ask anybody on the panel? yes, right here? i think we will be down to one question. >> george, did you talk about intelligence and the code breaking and how that contributed to the success of the battle? richard: that is more than a -- quite simply, the japanese naval code was kept in place for much longer than necessary, that gave us time to blank through the ciphers. they are not reading complete messages. they are getting littl

dwightiz dwight eisenhower said his biggest mistake was not denouncing mccarthy when he was up in wisconsinid i handle myself like that when my country needed me, i got scared of this lunatic in the white house and i didn't hold myself in a certain way to protect the country and the values of our nation? i mean, come on guys. >> stay here. ajt thi anthony's going to stay with me. >>> and mike bloomberg's latest moves. that's coming up.

his way, to a man who has had a chance of being with every american president dating back to dwight eisenhower, did not have an opportunity with john kennedy even though he was in san antonio the day before the president's death, talking about the executive vice chairman and leave it on the table, frank. good to have you. let me ask you, one of the things that you touch on early throughout your career is the idea that obviously presidents came and went in the career, how important with the backdrop in the economy and the stock market, this would like to talk about the market. like to avoid them if they cou could, the economic focus, the market focus, how important was that over the years. >> terrific important. in the major work, nothing more important. and maybe even that. i think whoever said that the economy is stupid knew what they were talking about in terms of politics. that will be a factor this time to say i've been watching you and i know what the situation currently is and there is no question that will be a big ingredient. >> you make passing reference to the president and more to h

the president-elect was his friend from the second world war, dwight d. eisenhower. churchill sent ike a warm message of congratulations but he privately worried about the new administration, telling his secretary, "i am greatly disturbed. i think this election makes war much more probable." churchill was especially worried of the new secretary of state, the stone face leds john foster dulles. dulles said "it would be most unfortunate for churchill to return to washington because he would cast a spell on american statesmen. after churchill's second meeting with dulles. his secretary reported "churchill had said some very harsh things about the republican party in general and about dulles in particular. he said he wanted no more to do with dulles, whom he disliked and distruthed -- trusted but dulles remained secretary of statement until prim 1959, just a month before his death. for the remainder of his term as prime minister, churchill was careful not to criticize the united states in public but his ponce of dulles remained unchanged. he described him as "dull, dulle

my point -- dwight eisenhower didn't do it. thank god the president of the united states didn't do this in the '50s. he could have been tougher against mccarthy, but the point is that's what mccarthyism is all about, innuendo, false accusations, conspiracy theories, to take down career professionals. that's what -- to take them down, to undermine the policy of the united states. >> i'm sorry. one other issue that made no sense about me about the attacks on her today. what else can you do to this person? you already run her out of her job. she's already been effectively maligned by her boss, the president of the united states. >> publicly. >> publicly. >> and to sort of continue -- there is no more -- there's nothing else you can do to this person. you can attack them publicly during their testimony and maybe you think you're continuing to hurt them. i don't know how you can hurt her anymore so from a strategic perspective, a strategic communications perspective, it makes no sense to me to do that. >> i want to quickly go to man
