end quote, dwight d. eisenhower. what eisenhower said was profoundly true 67 years ago, and it is profoundly true today. if the horrific pandemic we are now experiencing has taught us anything, it is that national security is not just building bombs, missiles, jet fighters, tanks, submarines, nuclear warheads and other weapons of mass destruction. national security also means doing everything we can to improve the lives of our people, many of whom have been abandoned by our government decade after decade. mr. president, in order to begin the process of transforming our national priorities, i have filed an amendment to the national defense authorization act with senator markey of massachusetts to reduce the military budget by 10% and to use the $74 billion in savings to invest in distressed communities all across our country, communities that have been ravaged by extreme poverty, mass incarceration, deindustrialization, and decades of neglect. at a time when more americans have died from the coronavirus than were kill

would be a very good idea for all of my colleagues and the american people to remember what dwight d eisenhower said in 1953. and as we all recall eisenhower was a four-star general leading the allied forces to victory in world war ii. he knew something about war and defense spending eisenhower said "and this is a profound statement we should never forget he said"every gun that is made in every warship launched every rocket those from hunger and are not fed those who are cold and not clothed it is not spending money alone the genius of the scientist and the hopes of the childrent the genius of the scientist and the hopes of the children dwight d eisenhower what he said was profoundly true 67 years ago and it is profoundly true today. if the horrific pandemic we are now experiencing has taught us anything that national security nuclear warheads and other weapons of mass distraction national security also means to do everything we can to improve the lives of our people, many of whom have been abandoned by our government decade after decade. mr. president in order to begin the process of transform

the admiral used to command all allied troops in europe, pretty much the same position held by dwight eisenhower during the second world war. president trump has lashed out at all of those generals that are speaking. he's called general powell pathetic. general mathis overrated. and chris, general kelly he says slinked away from his job. >> scott, thank you very much. >>> coming up, bay area casino back open today, we'll explain what you can and can't do at cash creek. >>> and a 180 at the nfl as the league apologizes for cracking down on players taking a knee. but not everyone is buying their sorry. >>> alameda county continues to talking about social bubbles. what that means for face-to-face contact, next. >>> welcome back. last week, prol players spoke out about racial sms the nfl is listening to them. an apology for how it handled players taking a knee. a different tone and perhaps some action. news correspondent stephanie gosk says the league's about face on race is meeting suspicion. >> we are listening. i am listening. >> reporter: nfl commissioner roger goodell is changing the league's m

host: we have an excerpt from dwight eisenhower's farewell address, which we will get your reaction to. let me remind every buddy that we are talking to john dickerson from cbs news. he is joining us from his home in new york. the book is titled "the hardest job in the world: the american presidency." "it is difficult to distinguish the office from its occupants, because trump is the office, as an extension of himself. he does not believe in many of the job's occupations, and his supporters love him for it. it is also the partisanship that trump has exacerbated. the presidency has become the venue for all high-stakes political combat." let's get to your phone calls. janice is up from chula vista, california. john dickerson. good morning. caller: good morning. i will support donald trump from the border and everything else that he has ever put in place. he is and has been a president promises ande kept them, unlike the do-nothing democrats who for decades have continued to just give us lipservice. i am so tired of people ragging on our president, bringing him down, when this man has don

dwight eisenhower is the supreme -- naming dwight eisenhower the supreme allied commander in europe. transforming the nato alliance into a for shooting defensive alliance with war planning sections and commitment of forces. and so forth. there's a huge buildup, including a massive expansion of the cia with the largest part of the expansion going to covert operations. so, it's the chinese intervention that triggers the review, which produces limited war and also produces a commitment inside the government there will be no first use of nuclear weapons, and then this massive conventional and nuclear buildup, focused primarily on your. -- on europe. >> you are proving the quote from the ambassador. it was the korean war and not world war ii that made us all world military political power. -- made us a world military political power. that's the sort of relationship between the korean war and the buildup you just spoke to in which you kind of addressed in the article, you brought the argument to its fullness through these international archives. and i think, to me, as a fresh interpretatio

one of my favorite presidential statements is dwight eisenhower were better presidents who approve this series of statements to cover-up the fact that the united states had youtube flights over the they assumed he'd been shot down and killed you could cover it up. he wasn't. we found the pilot as well as his plane it was a huge propaganda victory. that was for the soviets. eisenhower was latest asked what his latest regret is president one and he said that lie we told. we had so much damage from that lie. which we write in the book we say and then there's donald trump, the most audacious president in human history he almost never expresses regret. he is known from one big lie it's a constant stream of exaggerated purposefully outrageous spiteful dubious and falsified. and as he mentioned we are now up to 19000 and counting of these claims. only started the book it was the end of his third year. it was 16241. we actually had to scramble but wanted to end on generate 2h we had to scramble to ada scarano by chapter for obvious reasons. the interesting thing about trump is that he says thin

after dwight eisenhower became president he signed an executive order in april 19 53, which added sexual perversion as grounds for government investigation and dismissal. the government shared police and military records with private employers, resulting in the dismissal of hundreds. while mccarthyism encouraged the toughening of laws against homosexuals, there was a furor over child molestation. homosexuals were believed to be the main culprits. as the right wing demonization proceeded a pace, the negative qualities attributed to homosexuals overlap until it became a common assumption that any man or woman who was homosexual was so beyond the pale that she or he must also partake of the most forbidden ideological fruit of all, communism. as homosexuals became handy scapegoats for these postwar preoccupations, anti-homosexual laws were made more severe. 29 states enacted new sexual psychopath laws or revised existing ones and homosexuals were commonly the law's primary targets. in almost all states professional licenses could be revoked or denied because of homosexuality so homosexuals c

it was used you know in and a couple cases actually was used against established a power by dwight eisenhower and john f. kennedy to help desegregate schools but the other times it's always been used as a way to down any threat on established power and so i really urge people to recognize that you know this is nothing new and these protests are nothing new and the threat of military force against them is nothing new and the reality is is that we need to change you know it's cliche but we need to change the whole system i couldn't agree with you more about that i think that's where really starts on the guts what a lot of people are missing when they're kind of see in the protests right now is they don't understand that it's the entire system it's not just taken down a few statues in the south matthew thank you so much for coming on and illuminating our audience through these issues always a pleasure sir. thanks guys. all right everybody as we go to the break remember you can also start watching the hawks on demand through the brand new portable t.v. app which is available on all platforms defi

most famously to desegregate schools when the state of arkansas refused to dwight eisenhower sent in the army to force that desegregation. most recently it was used in 1902 with l.a. riots and was also used in 2005 after hurricane katrina so there are instances of this being used but it would face a lot of protest if it's not being requested by governors of states who are currently saying we have the tools at local and state level to approach this including the national guard the national guard which is part of the u.s. military but is under state authority let's talk about a highly highly inflammatory and controversial move yesterday that we saw around the white house there were protesters who were there they were tear gassed they were just 1st the president then moved in in order to get a photo op tell us what happened right so by all accounts this is a peaceful protest and happening in lafayette park this park is between the white house and this church which is known as the president's church because every president has gone there to pray for all of american history so it's very f

this title has been reserved for presidents such as dwight eisenhower. however, as presence came and went, every eight -- every four to eight years, hoover remained. for almost half a century, he led the bureau and for countless americans, he was the person to look to for all things for god, flag, and country. on the a keen eye importance of religion reveals that the bureau had a religious culture, which shape how americans viewed and understood there fbi. the fbiover's offices, instituted private worship services, spiritual retreats, and communion and prayer breakfasts exclusively for fbi agents. even when the fbi admitted african-american agents, these services and affairs were exclusively for white agents. similar to american civil religion, bureaus religion culture borrowed from catholic forms, especially the militaristic aspect of jesuit spirituality. hoover's men were seen as more than just federal bureaucrats but as pious disorders, drafted to embark on a crusade against all things subversive and ungodly. war,e context of the cold americans began

[laughter] chris: american b-29s were firebombing other japanese cities and her mother drilled her on exactly what to do if their home was ever attacked. >> she said that you have to get away from anything that was burning because it will trap you and you won't make it. if anything happens when i'm not with you, run to the water.

going back in 1953, dwight eisenhower instituted rules that eliminated segregation. 1957, the civil rightsct of 1957 created the civil rights commission and civil rights division. eisenhower ordered desegregation in the d.c. schools. you have the insurrection act that was amended in 1871 to allow the use of military to enforce, among other things, civil rights and desegregation. 1871, ulysses s grant sent a thousand elders to hunt down clansmen in south carolina and captured 600 of them. 1957, eisenhower sent the 101st division to little rock to protect nine students entering little rock against the order of the governor at the time. one of bill clinton's mentors. 1962 john kennedy federalized the national guard to allow black student to enroll in mississippi oxford. 1965 lbj federalized the national guard to protect civil rights. i'm just touching the tip of the iceberg. the number of economic programs, the trillions of dollars, don't tell me this country is systemically racist. if this country were systemically racist, none of this would have taken place, none of this would be taking pla

it was 1957, correcting the caller, under dwight eisenhower.he church fire was in the basement on saturday at st. john's church, adjacent to lafayette park. the president walking across the street on monday, june 1. caller: ok. well i don't know if i am watching cnn or msnbc anymore. love watching c-span, but i really get confused. i might have hit the wrong button. thank you. to kevinwant to go next. we want to make sure we get the facts correct here, as we always do. we will go to kevin in indiana. good morning. caller: good morning. remember, facts are all in the story, right? justary spending has been crazy compared to body cams. i knew that was a big deal, but i remember when they first started talking about body cams. they couldn't afford them. why theye find out don't want to wear them. i think trump signed in a national list of police that are practices,ad police i think that is a big, big thing everybody should be able to understand and know about. if a cop has killed or done something bad. kevin, thank you. let's go to robert, joining

we have about that with dwight eisenhower and john f. kennedy. this is remarkable. we talked about how marginal muscle beach was and how marginal weightlifting was. the idea a republican conservative president would be appointing arnold schwarzenegger as the head of a very staid presidential council on fitness, that says a lot about the .ainstreaming this dance aerobics instructor who is really promoting exercise for girls would be writing pe curriculum, that does suggest a real change i don't want to minimalize. i want to talk about a few people who talked about that path not taken. thatn you imagine -- quote, can you imagine -- she calls herself miss buns of steel, she became successful through fitness infomercials. she starred in a whole bunch of dvd's and did well for herself. when i interviewed her, she told me she was a kid who grew up in california around a lot of boys. she was super sporty. she was in to weightlifting and ended up competing in weightlifting. she was the only girl in her to graduateco state in exercise science. she said if she had not graduat

dwight eisenhower was a five- star general and at one time general macarthur ran for president. there was a series on ulysses s grant. it is not uncommon that generals get involved in politics. i have never seen anything quite like this. but then again, we are in a unique situation. any discussion of the insurrection act is guaranteed to bring a general officer or military officers retired and not currently serving, it is going to get a reaction. we feel very strong letter to uphold the constitution of the united states. it is different in other countries.'s to a concept and a document and we are trained extensively on what that means. >> an important conversation. we have to leave it right there. we appreciate your insight. we appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you, alex. >>> another warning about the critical blood shortage. we talk with the doctor to the struck record-breaking heat earlier in the week to unseasonably cool weather for you weekend. we are taking a look at what you can expect and the extended forecast coming up. >>> area hospitals face another potential c

extraordinarily, you know, it's not barry goldwater who broke the solid south, and it's not dwight eisenhower. it was herbert hoover who carried texas and several other southern states. the assumption is that he only carried them as a measure of the anti-catholic bias that existed in the deep south. and that clearly was a factor. >> but there's another factor that tends to get overlooked, and that is the gratitude that people in the deep south felt because hoover was the face of relief at the time of the floods. you know, the only person, really, certainly the only person associated with government who had tried to address their needs. >> i mentioned the harding story concludes in 19... - they built the harding tomb, a great big, hollow drum in marion, ohio, but they couldn't get anyone to dedicate it. coolidge wouldn't go and dedicate it. and hoover, in 1930 - seven years after harding died, hoover took a train to marion, and he dedicated it. not only did he dedicate it, but he used his speech to single out people in the audience who'd been crooks in the harding administration, people who ha

they went to dwight eisenhower and said i will fly and comments. in a simple if you have that much burnout go ahead. he shut down 13 and have killed including two german jet fighters that he shut down this propeller live in peace. fifty-one. and after the war, he was sent out at the time, edwards air force base, is a test pilots. people there cannot really understand him. he was a wiry muscular wiry, so much like sam shepard. dark hair. and in strange things that people just didn't understand. he would say like anybody else would say but he would say hopes like a joelle ped. his words were actually decent phrases. but they were up in the hollows, they would pipe in the daylight. he also had, anything he said or did, it's hard to communicate. they communicated this message. living one more time, you have for all walls and face. people do not try for that. friendly civilians would fly the x1 they would answer to his money. so the asked yeager to take the flight into the sound barrier. they asked him how much he would require to do that. he said claim

hardest job in the world," he outlines challenges presidents have faced, from the eisenhower era to the present day. >> i, dwightreporter: president dwight eisenhower had a particular way of doing things. the story goes that early in his tenure, he batted away an aide who tried to hand him an unopened envelope. he should never be handed anything, he said, that had not first been screened to see if it deserved his attention. ike had lots of rules like this, about optimism, taking responsibility and the necessity of vacation. he even developed a system for dispelling anger. if he was angry at someone, he'd write their name on a piece of paper and discard it in a drawer. having done so, he stopped being angry at them. he was what we could call today a life-hacker. one of ike's famous aphorisms was that urgent matters should not crowd out the important ones. if you only take care of the urgent, there will be no time to identify and solve the challenges that can only be solved through planning and follow-through. this is the spiritual inspiration for the eisenhower matrix, a system for sorting priorities. if the park

a republican, dwight eisenhower put earl lauren on the court and republicans keep getting supreme courttices wrong over and over and over again. when george w. bush put john roberts in, in the other room was my old boss.ur if he had been on the court, obamacare would've been struck down, these decisions would have gone the other way and i'll tell you, look, neil gorsuch wrote the title vii opinion on sexual orientationgo and gender identiy that is utterly lawless. i urge the president emphatically to appoint mike lee for that vacancy, i am certain if mike lee had been there he would've followed the law and we would've seen different results in these cases.nt >> laura: seems like we always seem to screw up the appointment process, my old boss clarence thomas, phenomenal, back in 1990, look what they put him through. his dissent was off the charts. he said today's decision must be recognized for what it is, an effort to avoid a politically controversial but legally correct decision. it's given the green light for future political battles to become fought in this court rather than where th

and the federal government stepped in to restore order. 1957 president dwight eisenhower federalized -- little rock to forced to obey the law. so the question is, where is our justice department today? right now? is there a reason the doj hasn't filed federal conspiracy charges against the people who organize and lead these riots? as long as we don't know who they are, their crimes are on youtube. you know the reason, "black lives matter" was involved. it is politically sensitive. no one wants to be called a racist is if it's racist to punish people for crimes they they commit. you are the victims of those crimes. the old people beaten to the ground for trying to defend their property, the shop owners whose life savings were stolen or burned. the families of the people murdered during the riots and there were quite a few of them. no one is defending these people. no one is punishing their attackers. nobody cares. imagine how they feel about that. what recourse do they have? do they have to torture when these? let's hope not. you might be enough to have a single national leader, just

it was in 1953 that as i'm sure many of you know, dwight eisenhower tapped warren to become chief justice of the united states. in another hard to imagine turn of events, warren accepted that as a recessed appointment and served until march of 1954 without senate confirmation. he left california on a saturday and was sworn in as chief justice of the united states on monday morning. hopeew chief justice, as i i have demonstrated a bit, was a progressive republican. he liked it electoral college it and was good at it. he was angered by corruption and infuriated by vice. he understood crime as a prosecutor and as a victim. he, sadly, was often familiar with racism and had indeed succumbed to it, though he had taken some steps to make amends. warren, as he took over the supreme court of the united states, was singularly a product of his upbringing, a man very much forged by his experience. sometimes i'm asked if warren had some sort of about-face ideologically after becoming chief justice, and i think -- i'm quite confident the answer to that is no. i think the right way to think of warm and

franklin roosevelt in the white house moll reaches out $950.00 to harry truman he reaches out to dwight eisenhower his hand was tossed away. this opportunity that might of changed history prevented was saved countless lives was lost because the truth of miles over true as was denied in the washington of the 1950 s. . state department officials who had carried mao's messages were condemned done justly as communist traitors. everybody who knew my who spoke chinese was gone in the 1950 s. the state department had no employees who spoke cheney it's resulted in us not having relations with the number one most populous country in the world in 1979 this man deng xiaoping became china's paramount leader he said socialism does not mean shared poverty. this was code for the most radical reforms since miles revolution. the return of capitalism to china but this time controlled by the communist party. to be riches glorious dane was reported as saying. america was now threatened by the emergence of a vast image of itself. this is one of the many very exclusive gated communities in shanghai where an apartment i

. >> if he ever made a mistake, republican president dwight eisenhower admitted that the two justiceial liberal legacies. of president trump may have similar concerns following two supreme court rulings last week. in one, the justices said was unconstitutional under federal law to fire someone based on sexual orientation or gender identity. trump appointed offered the decision. of three days, the trump administration's attempt to dismantle dhaka gave the reprieve. >> they don't vote the policy outcomes. >> georgetown law professor smith argued in front of the supreme court 21 times. >> i think it's a whole range of nominations and most of them have turned out to be pretty much what the doctor ordered, better-than-expected. >> there are exceptions, he wrote the back majority opinion for roe v. wade, david souter, g.o.p. presidential nominees also swung left. don't count out bush 43.8, chief justice john roberts who some key cases offered ideology on immigration. >> justice roberts only let us don't come out when he with obamacare was disgraceful. >> three years later, responding to th

under donald trump, more thoroughly his party than it ever was under teddy roosevelt, under dwight eisenhowerunder ronald reagan. so if you believe that donald trump is a menace and a threat to the civic norms of this country, then you have to say that the party that is so homogenized behind him is also that. and can only learn a lesson by a severe purging. >> what do you make of general mattis, who has been very tight lipped about donald trump? he has not criticized barely at all, even in his book, now coming out and calling donald trump nothing less than a threat to the constitution, is it just distance, is it time, or is it a reflex to defend the military. what do you think that is? >> i think we have to understand that a marine general, steeped in the code of civilian control, steeped in control of keeping the military, even the ex-military out of politics, had to be provoked long and hard to go against all the instincts learned under a 50-year military career, to intervene in politics. i salute him for doing so, and i honor him for his reluctance to do so. that makes his timely intervent

. >> he used to command all allied troops in europe, the same position held by dwight eisenhower in theond world war. very republican former national security adviser john bolton says he'll go ahead with publishing his book even though the white house doesn't want him to. bolton worked alongside the president and, for that matter so did other generals, all republicans appointed by republicans who have insider knowledge of the day-to-day operations of the white house. president trump will meet with law enforcement officials today. that one is closed to the press so far but we'll do our best to report and talk about it on twitter. you can find me ther there @scottmcgrew. >> and speaking of the president, scott, president trump's late e comments on the nfl and player protests appear to set up a tense dynamic if and when the players return to the field. so the president yesterday tweeting to commissioner roger goodell in a new video goodell says that he supports black lives matter and kneeling during the national anthem. the president says, quote, could it be even remotely possible that in

after dwight eisenhower became president, he signed executive order ten for five zero in april 1953, which had a sexual perversion, for government investigation and dismissal. the government shared police and military records with private employers, resulting in the dismissal of hundreds. while mccarthy is encouraged the toughening of lost towards homosexuals because they were believed to be security risks, americans puritan tradition was producing fear over child molestation. homosexuals were believed to be the main culprits. as the right wind wing demonization proceeded with the pace, the negative qualities attributed to the homosexuality's overlapped until he became a common assumption that any man or woman who is homosexual was so beyond the pale that she or he must also partake in the most forbidden ideological fruit of all, communism. as homosexuals became handy scapegoats for those of both of these post war occupation preoccupations, anti homosexual laws were made more severe. 29 states and acted new sexual psychopath laws and are revised existing ones. homosexuals were common

. >> admiral stavidis held the same position as dwight eisenhower.ery conservative, very republican national security adviser john bolton says he'll go ahead and publish a book even though the white house doesn't want him to. bolton worked alongside the president. so did mattis and general john kelly. all republicans all appointed by trump or other republicans with insider knowledge of the day-to-day operations with inside the trump white house. president trump will meet with law enforcement officers today. that meeting closed to the public so far but we will continue to report on it. you can find me reporting on twitter. i'm @scottmcgrew. >> scott, thank you. >>> trending this morning the prince estate is late artist's the death of freddie gray. ♪ enough is enough it's time for love ♪ >> that video shows the protest after gray as death who died in police custody which mirror the protests going on today. sharing a handwritten note from prince yesterday for his 62nd birthday. it reads nothing more ugly in the whole wide world than intolerance between

kennedy and dwight eisenhower under leader like edward r. muir owe and charlie wick in the reagan administration had enormous influence and enormous reach around the world. and one of the reasons that voa was so importantly is that people around the world, in eastern europe and in the soviet union when they could get voa believed it gave them an honest, objective view of what was going on in the world. the voa also would record what was going on in the united states. and the truth is most presidents really got annoyed by what voa said about what was going on in the united states because it was often very revealing about -- and very honest about problems we had here internally. but it had a great deal of credibility around the world. and there were other radios and originally operated by ci like raid fro free liberty, radio europe and others. all of those have basically been dismantled. and so when you have a country like china that has a global communication strategy and they've invested billions and billions of dollars in it, in acquiring n
