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

i was interested in the fact that eisenhower went along on this. he was only 28 years old at the time. of course he later, i think partly because of his inspiration from this trip, was the driving force behind the interstate highway system. so i just wanted to see the actual route that they followed, which i was able to follow their exact route. >> this is in -- just west of lexington, nebraska. again, these roads, obviously there had been rain so they're pretty muddy. difficult to make their way through. >> yes. you can see a truck sort of slipping and sliding there. they had one, as i said, artillery tractor known as the militor, which was able to pull them out in most places. sometimes it was really slow going. on this particular day, according to the log, they traveled 34 miles in 10 hours. >> and what if the tires broke down, if they were flat. did they have enough materials to sustain themselves? >> they had two trucks that carried only spare parts. they stopped at military bases along the way to replenish those parts. but they had to make do

eisenhower was ahead of his time to recognize it and warned us about it. host: do you think it's ok for the president of the united states to tweet false news? guest: i don't think it's ok for anybody to tweet false news. host: david, republican. caller: i was a truck driver for 30 years and there's a lot of bias against truck drivers same with the airliners. back in 1988 they had a really bad accident where a drunk truck driver went across the median and hit a bus head-on and they kept saying that. i got home that night and saw the newspaper says drunk truck driver hits bus head-on. looked at the picture and it was a guy in a pickup truck. but a lot of people got mad at truck drivers over that. people driving 18 wheelers. guest: the media has an incredibly powerful influence and it's for that reason they have a response delete to get stories right. we would never expect news getly -- a news outlet to 100% of stories right. what we are seeing as there are news outlets who are knowingly publishing false information merely because it will sell to their audie

but eisenhower symbolizes how unsupervised sidney godley was.so undoubtedly eisenhower remove something from secretary of state but the only people to cia who had an idea of what godley was doing where the director helms the person in between him and godley, both of those people understood if godley was doing horrific things in his experiments were variability and probably people were being killed, those of us in other kinds of work might think somebody was doing something like that working for us we would want to get some details and find out what was happening. his response was opposite, from where they understood but no less they wanted to know about them. they never asked and did not want to know, this is obedience not only to cia but the culture of secret service is in general. ignorance is an asset. people want to know too much. and because of that godley was able to act completely on his own. it was extra added asset that later on when it becomes public at least they did to a certain point, people in the cia and above the cia are able to

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

after the war ended, eisenhower was concerned it would impact his career. that was also -- people thought patton was going to be the supreme commander but, it is funny how it works out. the jobs were pretty similar. >> in bob sorely. am bob sorely. for small, you are my kind of guy. i have to say, that is a brilliant title . what is the most surprising generalu learned about shali? >> we were in the heidelberg at px. we used animals so the kids could help their parents identify with a particular car. what a guy. aughter] >> are you satisfied, dr. sorely? >> that was a good answer. there any further comments or questions? does everybody know, and understand, and take a quiz as to who general are asked general almond's? the book was an eye-opener. should we move along? >> i think the group would love to hear more about general almond. i was wondering if you could speak a little bit to his work with george marshall. met thenaid, he first lieutenant colonel marshall at fort benning when he was an instructor. from -- at that time in the army, there were a lot of

a was -- eisenhower was lieutenant colonel ultimately. a full colonel zero six, but pretty much the same jobs, just one was state side was overseas. and the two were not -- were of each other, were not quite buddy buddy as they will later, but they did the same thing. in camp colt there's not much of iything left there, but looked -- i got into a little book, but itn the really was pretty similar to overseas were doing and it -- the difference was patton, once he had enough soldiers trained up led the brigade while eisenhower never had the chance and after the war eisenhower was concerned it would impact his career and was also -- people thought patton was going to be the day,me ally commander one but it's funny how it works out. ithe jobs were pretty similar. >> i'm bob sorley, and my is for doctor marvel. first of all, sir i would like guy.y you're my kind of thank you for telling us about your adventures and also, i have to say that's a brilliant title, just perfect. what's the most surprising thing you learned about general shali? >>

dooley convinced him to get his votes to eisenhower. eisenhower appoints warren. warren court is history which would not have occurred if not for those political maneuvers. >> her member, the nation is in the middle of the vietnam war. let's look at what was happening at the podium at the democratic convention. >> i proudly accept the nomination of our party. [cheers and applause] >> we have heard hard and sometimes bitter debate, but i submit that this is the debate and this is the work of a free people. the work of an open convention and a political party responsive to the needs of this nation. >> why was 1968 a crisis? dr. brown: because it was not really an open convention. president lyndon johnson had worked very hard in the background after he had stepped down from running to manage those delegates and ensure his vice president, hubert humphrey, would garner the nomination. those individuals running in the primaries and those antiwar candidates in particular, mccarthy and mcgovern, their supporters were enraged that they did not have a way to be important on

i knew a lot about the eisenhower haven nixon relationship, and eisenhower always thought nixon was too partisan and also immature. rebrand himself when he ran the second time for president in 1967. the new nixon, who was more mature, who could poke fun at himself. some may remember seeing him on "laugh-in." only the new nixon could do that. but we got another version of the trickster, this one in a magician's suit. >> learn more about pat olyphant'apolitical cartoons of presidents sunday at 8:00 p.m. and midnight eastern. you're watching american history tv. >> this is american history tv, exploring our nation's past every weekend on c-span3. up next, reel america features a nasa documentary telling the story of apollo 12, which blasted off 15 years ago 70 years ago,0 november of 1949. at 6:00 p.m. eastern on american national, we tour the portrait gallery exhibit marking the centennial of the 19th amendment. at 8:00 p.m. eastern, 5:00 pacific, our weekly series on the presidency. tonight, pulitzer prize winning cartoonist pat olyphant and his subject to discussion at the university of

from this bench you have a great view of bach book castle above eisenhower. the vod book castle looks like something out of the story book and it has made it into the history books so if you're in the area you should take a look at the castle and visit the town of eyes and. everyone who comes to eisenach wants to visit council. for many germans it's more than just an 11th century council it's both a tourist attraction and a famous landmark and that has to do with one man in particular martin luther starting in $1521.00 he translated the new testament into german. here a revolutionary act because anyone who could read now had access to it. a little too. little wasn't the 1st to translate the bible but he did it very well and he did it from the original greek not just from latin into german but was the. council has been the scene of many historical events it's splendid rooms testified of that for instance the apartments of st elizabeth of the who lived in the council in the 13th century. and the singers hall where in the middle ages a legendary contest among ma

eisenhower, president eisenhower said that the american mind at its best is both liberal and conservativeand i believe that. i believe there are high-minded conservative values and high-minded liberal values. but while conservatives and liberals are going at it each other, a real opponent of both of them is having a great time laughing at all that, laughing at all the distractions, because the real opponent of our democracy is not conservative and it is not liberal. it is an authoritarian corporatism, which has corrupted the united states government and turned our government into little more than a handmaiden to huge multinational corporations, to the point where we are not even a government by the people, of the people, and for the people anymore. we are now for the huge corporate forces. first health insurance companies and their short-term profits are maximized. the pharmaceutical companies, gun manufacturers, chemical companies, oil and gas, food, defense contractors. first, their short-term profits are taken care of. i don't remember anywhere in the declaration of independence where

so eisenhower was the first. for each president, it shows which primary they won. and this president was not elected, but he didn't win in new hampshire. right along up until today. so the -- there's been 17 presidential primaries since 1852, and of the 17, 14 of the winners became president that year, the other three came in second. every single one has at least won one primary. we celebrate it. this guy did it in 1913. this happened in 49. and this happened in 1975. this guy. pictures of what they look like when they did it. in 197 56789 there was an attempt to have it the way it was across the nation. they wanted to change new hampshire laws. so this is -- i told mayor pete, our first primary will go one week after indiana's. same as minnesota. minnesota got rid of it and indiana so we were standing alone. we had it for 50 years, it wasn't really significant. but we still have it. there are other states, one by one would get rid of the primary. get rid of this but the people here wanted to have that power.

eisenhower was the first and for each president it showed which primary they won and this president was not elected, he didn't win in new hampshire, right up to today and so there has been 17 presidential primaries since 1852. 14 of the winners became president and the other 3 in the second place and they won a primary. everyone has at least one primary but this guy did it in 1913, this happened in 1949, this happened in 75 there are pictures of what they look like so 75, there was an attempt to have it be new england primary. the one that changed new hampshire law to do whatever we could service is the centennial and it would not be -- mayor pete in indiana, first primary was a 1-week detail in indiana and in indiana, and minnesota got rid of this in 1920, standing alone and we had it for 50 years and it wasn't really significant but still have it. states one by one, get rid of the primary but the people here wanted to keep it and that is how british been television changed and a lot of other places wanted to have it. >> how do you, moraitis that cute you >> he is the only one alive th

cadet eisenhower, i want you to report to my quarters and one hour. by, there is a knock at the door. the upperclassman opens the door and there stands cadet eisenhower in his full dress code and nothing else. when the artist wanted to depict john f. kennedy, they realized when he was happiest was when he was with his children. and in his health issues the country that time so much weight upon him, they decided they wanted to do one with john kennedy and his son, john junior. john junior had a favorite toy, a little airplane. the statue shows president kennedy bending over and handing this little toy airplane to his son, john. as historywe know, evolved, how prophetic that really was. in those days, the politicians controlled the press. they told what they could and could not do. using the example of fdr, president roosevelt. as you know, he became so disabled he had to be in a wheelchair or use leg braces and a cane. they had an agreement with the press they would never take a picture of president roosevelt when he was being assisted in any way, eith

you are criticizing a particular journalist and you say i respect eisenhower's warning that small wars could lead to big wars. i have never quite understood how one can be caught lying about his own opinion. with the fact check and deluded belief the eisenhower belonged to the war craft and then you go one to quote eisenhower saying i hate war, as only a soldier and one who has seen the brutality, motility and stupidity. as we try to guide foreign policy in our government away from forever worse, what advice would you give those who try to have a realistic view of foreign policy. >> talk to the veterans. you say you have a lot of veterans and soldiers in your district we have two big bases in my state, interesting when you talk to them some of the most thoughtful people are the people who have served in combat. if we had a roundtable with five or six guys are women who were in combat, they are not knee-jerk and go on and on. most of them are sitting there okay after 9/11 to go but when you told us to plant a flag and become policeman and build roads, then to the world nationbuilding an

in response to the request of the government of south vietnam, president eisenhower sent economic aid and military equipment to assist the people of south vietnam in their efforts to prevent a communist takeover. seven years ago, president kennedy sent 16,000 military personnel to vietnam as combat advisers. four years ago, president johnson sent american combat forces to south vietnam. now, many believe that president johnson's decision to send american combat forces to south vietnam was wrong. and many others-i among them-have been strongly critical of the way the war has been conducted. but the question facing us today is: now that we are in the war, what is the best way to end it? in january i could only conclude that the precipitate withdrawal of american forces from vietnam would be a disaster not only for south vietnam but for the united states and for the cause of peace. for the south vietnamese, our precipitate withdrawal would inevitably allow the communists to repeat the massacres which followed their takeover in the north 15 years before. they then murdered more than 50,00

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

president eisenhower and president johnson expressed the same conclusion during their terms of office. for the future of peace, precipitous withdrawal would be a disaster of immense magnitude. a nation cannot remain great if it betrays its allies and lets down its friends. our defeat and humiliation in south vietnam, without question, would promote recklessness in the councils of those great powers who have not yet abandoned their goals of world conquest this would spark violence wherever our commitments helps maintain peace. in the middle east, in berlin, eventually, in the western hemisphere. ultimately, this would cost more lives. >> the silent majority. >> these are americans from us from all segments of the population, including people of all ages, occupations, and religion. people from apple every level of the community and region. the silent majority. many prefer to make their views known by writing a letter to legislature rather than by taking part in public demonstrations either for or against a particular issue. the silent majority. they do have opinions. but many of these p

this proposed fact checker held the deluded belief that somehow eisenhower belonged to the war crowden you go on to quote eisenhower saying "i hate war, only a soldier who lived at kim only as one who has seen its brutality its futility and its stupidity. as we try to guide foreign policy in our government here away from forever wars, the what advice would you give us who try to have a realistic view of foreign policy rather than neocon view. >> ethic talk to the veterans. you say you have a lot of veterans and soldiers in your district we have two big bases in my state. the interesting thing is, we talked about some of the most thoughtful people are other people who actually have served particularly in combat. if we had a roundtable with five or six guys are women who been involved in combat, they are not knee-jerk the afghan war should go on and on most of them are like, we were okay after 9/11 to get the enemy but when you told us to plant a flag and become policeman and build roads and nationbuilding coverages mention the word nationbuilding and most soldiers will recoil. they do

this ongoing back to the eisenhower years and leveling taxation. they will still be very wealthy. but we need to have a more progressive stacked code and right now a lot of the wealthiest americans play less proportionally in their taxes than you or i do. because of the way our taxation works especially around u-uppercase-letter news. so we got reform capital gains for the wealthy. we got reform income taxes and again, not crazy love, a 50 percent like it was the eisenhower days but we have to trade up and we have close loopholes from corporate taxes and paid all the see together what we can examine the penny among many that we are going to need to deliver on these things that i am offering up in the campaign. and that went out adding 1 dollar to the deficit. [applause] >> [inaudible conversation] i'm 14 years old and i'm scared.

lot about the eisenhower-nexen relationship. eisenhower thought nixon was to partisan and also immature. rebrand himself when he ran for president. there was the new nixon, the guy who was more mature, who could poke fun at himself. you may remind -- you may remember him appearing on "laugh me?"aying "sock it to doy they knew nixon could that. but i think this recalls the image of the tricky dick. >> learn more about the political cartoons of presidents sunday at 8 p.m. and midnight eastern. >> author christy pichichero talks about french officers in the american revolution. she argues that their expereinces influenced french politics and perspectives. the american revolution institute hosted this event. greetings, everyone. in ellen alan clark and i am the library director for the american revolution institute and it is my special pleasure to welcome you and to introduce our dr. christy

he was so impressed with the way eisenhower had overthrown these governments. and kissinger said no. and then he says, maybe we created conditions for it. he knew that he was disappointing, nixon when he said he didn't do it. but he was overthrown by his own generals. they tried, but it never worked out. but in terms of the culture that we are living in now -- >> the point about helms remains -- >> absolutely right. >> there was cia involvement that may have been ineffectual. >> people were killed with cia weaponry and so forth. >> but i don't think we need to quibble about -- >> you are making me quibble. [laughter] >> i think the important point is that the cia got permission to lie at that point. >> you mean from "the new york times" editorial page. >> in a sense, that is an example of the media that i'm talking about, the kind of state media role played by "the times," just as in the run-up to the iraq war. >> i'm going to differ with you in a big way here. i wrote a book called "what liberal media" -- i still get a little check for it. on the first page of

they believe somehow eisenhower belonged to the war crowd and if you go on to quote eisenhower saying i hate the war as one that has seen its brutality. a word of advice for those of us that have a realistic view of the policy. >> guest: you say you have a lot of veterans and soldiers. we have big pieces in a state and when you talk to them some of the most thoughtful people are those that have served particularly in combat. if we had a roundtable with five or six guys or women involved in combat, they are not knee-jerk. we are okay after 9/11 to get the enemy but when you host to plan a flag mentioned the work of nationbuilding and most will recoil. they don't see themselves as policemen. they don't want to be policing the street and ultimately it is a little bit i make the analogy of welfare. we give them $50 billion a year and they never step up. i think that there is a chance. the military and those retired and who cannot speak out over 60% say that they should end the war and it may not have been in our interest. we should listen to the constitution and some people say that this

eisenhower thought nixon was too partisan and immature. nixon did try to rebrand himself as the guy who was more mature, who could poke fun at himself. some of you may remember seeing him during the campaign saying sockets to me. only the new nixon could do that. what we got was another version of the trickster. this one in a magician suit. but still, i think it calls back that image of nixon as the tricky dick. >> i will be the nose guy to point out richard nixon and his nose. too tired with johnson and opinion polls done at the time, they basically asked the survey respondents, do you trust the government to do the right thing unless cases? that number at the john kennedy/lyndon johnson level is bumping up at 80%. by the time we get to richard nixon, it is dropping down while below the 50's and into the 20's, so we see this precipitous drop. the noses in these cartoons are indicating in the american public that faith in the government and presidency -- the sense that these authoritative leaders are lying to us. has become ingrained in am

you were in a county that went red in 2016 for the first time since eisenhower.re telling you? >> reporter: yeah, debubuque is big surprise in 2016. look, this has traditionally been a blue strong hold. in 2016, though, clinton doesn't get anywhere near those numbers. she just didn't inspire that kind of turnout. donald trump on the lower hand did get people to come out, in fact, even got some working place democratic voters to flip for him in that election. so this san important place to watch. when it comes to the topic of impeachment, we got interesting trends here. i want to play you sound from democratic voters who are supportive of the inquiry but have a few concerns. take a listen. are you concerned that all of the attention surrounding the impeachment inquiry is overshadowing other issues that people care about? >> i think that that's what people are unfortunately paying attention to. they think the entire congress is paralyzed. i don't think folks understand that the u.s. house is continuing to pass bills. >> and you're going to take several candidates o

eisenhower appointed him. president eisenhower get what he expected philosophically from earl warren? he was a law and order governor. when he appointed him, what was he hoping his view might be on some of the big issues in society at the time? elizabeth: it is hard to say what the president had in mind or if you had a view in mind heard one thing president said publicly in appointing chief justice warren was that he got someone who could bring unanimity and consensus to the court. host: but the court is thought of now as a much more liberal court. you had a republican president appointing him. philosophically, whether republican surprised at how the warren court turned out? elizabeth: the partisan lines and parties are different than today. the republican party of lincoln, it was not a great surprise that the chief justice earl warren would be as active and supportive of civil rights, which was in-line with the party of lincoln and the idea that there should be equality. i think in that respect, maybe not so

eisenhower appointed him.id president eisenhower get what he expected philosophically from earl warren? he was a law and order governor. when he appointed him, what was he hoping his view might be on some of the big issues in society at the time? elizabeth: it is hard to say what the president had in mind or if he had a view in mind. one thing president said publicly in appointing chief justice warren that he certainly got was someone who could bring unanimity and some consensus to the court. host: but the court is thought of now as a much more liberal court. we had a republican president appointing him. philosophically, were republicans surprised at how the warren court turned out? elizabeth: perhaps in some respects. the party alignments on a partisan level are different than they are today. in some respects, the republican party, the party of lincoln, it was not a great surprise that the chief justice earl warren and the warren court would be as active and supportive of civil rights as a was, which was in-l

flash back to truman, eisenhower and kennedy, there was broad consensus over the cold war and cruciallyere was ideological diversity within the two parties with conservative democrats and progressive republicans. america was able to get big things done through bipartisan coalitions, the marshal plan, interstate highway system, landmark civil rights bills. we're only 40 years away from women getting the vote and discrimination of all kinds was common, but our politics enabled unanimous decisions of the supreme court like brown versus board of ed. today we've been accustomed to these narrow 5-4 decisions. southern conservatives became republicans while the vietnam war shattered cold war consensus. take a look at these congressional voting patterns in the 93rd congress that presided over watergate. there were republicans to the left of some democrats and vice versa and most importantly, the two parties are clustered towards the center. fast forward 20 years, the parties moving further from the center but very few folks on the extremes. the red state, blue state dramatically reducing the nu
