he returned us through peace through strength and that's one of the same policies as dwight eisenhower and this is the policy adopted by donald trump. peace in the world and no new foreign wars because our foreign adversaries understood in donald trump they had a tough man who did what he said and said what he would do and hubblied in straight and you happen predictability as deterrent. then post-reagan, it was hijacked by a wall street country club win and endless foreign war and massive debt in spending and invasive patriot act. we then demonstrated weak candidates and speak specifically of mitt romney. a man who begged donald trump for his endorsement to get into the u.s. senate. and then just as his father george romney knifed barry goldwater in the back, he knifed our president in the back by voting for his impeachment. so to mitt romney, i say judeas be gone. in 2017, donald trump came to the white house from the world of business. and he quite reasonably thought well, there's two groups, the republicans that are for me and the democrats who are against me.mo he learned in the fi

it is where dwight eisenhower, lyndon johnson and ronald reagan and not too long ago john robert lewis of alabama, a congressman from georgia reverend sharpton's good friend where he lay. i think it's worth for all of our understandable angst and political battles, it is worth taking a moment here and thinking about the possibilities of american life. the man lying there who will be taken in was born about as far away from the pinnacle of power as you could be born. he used the means of american democracy that were available to white men of his time, public schools, the united states naval academy, the united states navy, he used those means of ascent to amass power, not just for himself but to change lives, the lives of other people. i think it is safe to say that president carter, he actually told me once that his favorite former president was george h.w. bush and that president bush, in a prayer that he read at his inaugural that he wrote out that morning on blue cards and kept them in his jacket pocket, said that the uses of power were not simply to make a great show in the world w

chase smith conducted a televised debate on behalf of presidential candidates stevenson and dwight eisenhower in 1956. on face the nation modeling the famous kennedy-nixon debates to come, she and the senator were the first women to appear on the show. this is after eleanor hosted in new york city mayoral candidate showdown on her own program in 1950, which may have been the first televised political debate. in 59, her third regular television program began airing under the guidance of producer henry morgenthau. the third, sound familiar is the son of good friend eleanor and fdr, secretary of the treasury henry morgenthau jr. prospects of mankind. rand monthly. just before eleanor's death in 1962. once again, she attracted some of the most important political and cultural figures of the era, including ralph bunche henry kissinger, luis munoz, marin edward murrow, julius nyerere, bertrand russell, adlai stevenson, paul tillich and john f kennedy both as senator and president. although she really despised jfk's father and had to be convinced to book the younger of the kennedys, some of her anti

dwight eisenhower and lynnson johnson, they weren't citizens ÷÷of the world.ing for ways to leverage the extraordinary convening power ÷÷that still adheres to an american president after he leaves office to do good at, you know, following their term, and ÷÷he is sort of the inventor. he was the creation in many ways of that kind of vision of what the post- presidency could be. >> really interesting way to ÷÷think about it. ron brownstein, so grateful to have your perspective on the show. thanks for being here today. >> thanks for having me. >>> all right. let's turn now to this. special counsel jack smith's final report on the federal investigations into donald trump expected to be released in the coming days, but not unless the president -- but not if the president- elect gets his way. trump's attorneys now threatening legal action if smith makes the report public. the latest court filings including a letter from his co-defendants asking judge eileen cannon -- remember, she's the one in the federal documents case, to block the release of the report because sh

the elderly man sitting there that dwight eisenhower. i think we also saw a couple of the points i made about societal constraints. an inaugural address. one of the things that that kennedy had to respond to was that eisenhower was 70. he was a kennedy was 43. he needed to represent a new generation. and i'll talk about how he did that. and i'm always struck by the men in top hats. it's 64 years ago. it's similar but different than today. i want talk about what made the kennedy inaugural a great speech in terms of an inaugural address as eloquent speech. and to do that, i want to go through the second through seventh characteristic that defines an effective inaugural addresses. and then after i do that i'm going to go back and talk about political the second characteristic defines an effective inaugural address is it reunifying public after a divisive campaign and kennedy explains this begins to do this the very first sentence he says we observe today not a victory, a party but a celebration of freedom. that, he says, symbolized an end we

i liked dwight eisenhower. i guess i am old enough to hanker back to an age where there were differences, but they were not differences that made people hate each other. so, you know, i think what happened in the last election was, the american voters delivered a bit of a corrective to the democratic party. and my hope is that they learn and adjust accordingly. because if they don't we may be looking at a long, long period of a republican-dominant government. and that is not healthy. host: let's go to benjamin in huntsville, alabama on our line for independents. good morning, benjamin. caller: good morning. i just want to make a statement during inherent in the very definition of liberalism are seeds of conflict. the ideas of progressivism, individualism, free-market economics, and christian theology are all used in the definition of liberalism, and they do not harmonize with each other. this definition limits the possibility for the conceptualization of a clearer and more expansive and comprehensive view of wh

will make no difference unlike farewell address is like george washington to ronald reagan to dwight eisenhowerarly on energy policy he will reverse the on day one. when trump left office oil was at $40 a barrel remember back to 2017 when trump went into office oil was $120 a barrel that was great for russia and for iran but trump cayman new energy policy and let american energy producers produce and export the price of oil dropped by two thirds of bankrupted russia and iran, biden came and went back to the obama system and oil shot back up to $100 a barrel, president trump said day one first thing i'm doing is drill baby drill and get on lisa's american energy industry and that will be terrific for our economy but really terrific for the national security. >> to think the price of oil by terms energy policy is that the key to the ball of wax a foreign policy. >> it is. here's why, first of all it's great for our economy it will make everything cheaper in the united states and help with inflation but as a manufacturing element energy is a really important part if we have cheap energy cheaper th

i am the supervisory archivist for the dwight d eisenhower presidential library. and welcome >>> good afternoon, everyone. my name is dr. jim ginter, and the supervisor for the dwight d. eisenhower presidential library, and welcome to you. before we start, i just wanted to take a moment to mention that as it happens, as we gather today for this program, that it is also the 55th anniversary of the death of president eisenhower, and so, i just thought before we got started, i would take a moment -- just take a moment of remembrance for president eisenhower. and his work. on behalf of our country. >> thank you. i want to welcome you all to the eisenhower presidential library is a lunch and learn program for march 28th, 2024. this year, our programming theme has been waging peace, and in this series, we are looking at some of the ways president eisenhower sought global peace. this month, we are looking at radio free europe and radio liberty. president eisenhower believed that, "radio free europe and the crusade for freedom are vital to success in the battle for men's m

and to me, it really makes the point that, as dwight eisenhower said, the country is far more importantthan any one of us. and i think that these former presidents, we saw that today. it was a rare moment where we see them coming together. and i think you can look at every single one of these men and make and make these comparisons. i mean, bush and obama, for instance, after bin laden was killed during the obama administration, one of the first calls president obama made was to george w. bush and said, we did it. that's the continuity of the work that goes on in the presidency. that's not about one administration, one man or another. it's about american democracy. and it's not about ego. it's about generosity. and i think that we see this kind of bygone era, you know, it's not completely gone. there are still signs of it. we saw some of it today. >> tim, i agree with kate. um, this was a celebration of a man, but it was also a celebration of an era. and in a sense, it was a coda for an era. just think about this. the last president of the silent generation said goodbye to the last livi

you all read the sermon that dwight eisenhower heard before he put his presidency behind the legislation to push to add under god to the pledge of allegiance. you read that sermon. by one definition. nope, that can't be civil religion because it's not a office holder it's not eisenhower himself doing this but it's preacher doing this. and you are surprised by interpretation of parts of the book of galatians? more than a little surprised. and applying it to the united states states. i, i can't see enough distinction between the result the result the same looks identical. so i think if you're if you want eventually to have a definition in civil religion is joint product the joint of both the government the churches that example i read to you from rabbi stephen weiss, from the progressive america, he says, what we is civic religion, we need a revival. we need it's blasphemous. so if says we need civil religion seems pretty obvious to me that. that's civil religion. all right. yes brian, how is this rhetoric of like appropriating the bible able to convince like, people of the orthodox christ

dwight eisenhower became very famous about the dominance of the military-industrial complex.ey are being taught that the same school. very few people at least when i was taught other great warning morningwhich has more relevance. it was so concerned about what senator jon mccarthy was doing accusing everybody that would disagree with him of being a communist and trying to keep people torn up and upset. hee said i am not sure we can preserve our democracy. there is a reason we were closing in on being the oldest democracy in human history. a lot of mental discipline to learn what the facts are in different circumstances. and to try to think through them other people are trying to do the same thing and deal with the differences.nd the thing i had to worry that most about in the current environment is that it seems the people running the transition equate unquestioned loyalty with patriotism and questions. and with lack of patriotism. when i became president of all the young people who supported me to the office and i said if any of you ever comes and tells me what you think i w

dwight eisenhower warns us that the domination of the military-industrial complex. i was raised and taught that capitalism leads to democracy. and that communism leads to dictatorship. it is more complicated than that. free-market capitalism definitely leads to democracy but corporate crony capitalism leads ultimately to fascism and communism is the domination of government -- the domination of business by government. fascism is a domination of government by business as mussolini said. fascism should not be called fascism but corporatetism. there is no stronger advocate then free-market capitalism than myself. i believe it is the most efficient and best way, but in a true free-market economy you cannot make yourself rich without making your neighbors rich or enriching your community but what polluters do is they make themselves rich by making everyone else poor. they raise standards of living for themselves by lowering the quality of life and they do that by explained -- by escaping the discipline of the free market. corporations do not want free markets but profits
