dwight eisenhower. the man from abilene who never in history had so many americans so much about the very essence of one man, 100 million americans. no, the way you know, a neighbor. we know him by heart. and why do we care for him? not because he is a general, but because instinctively we believe in you. we hail in the hometown boy with all the best of america. his roots are in the heartland main street, u.s.a. i come here first to thank you to say the proudest thing i can tell him is that i am from abilene. i want to speak first of the dreams of our barefoot boy frequently. they are to be a conductor. or he himself as the town policeman. above all he may reach the position of locomotive engineer, but always in his dreams is that day when finally he comes home. comes home to a welcome from his hometown, the wheat fields of kansas. ike is a native son, but the cotton and cattle state of texas staked first claim hard by the railroad tracks in denison, texas. that's where he was born. the red river, where

as mail president eisenhower renamed after his grandson, camp david. that is how we know it today. >> you describe kempton for a lot of our viewers and listeners who i'm sure have never visited camp david in person. i'm probably will not visit camp david. when you paint a picture of what the camp is like? >> i will try. great partners of ours 1800 feet elevation, on the spring and summer months. a leafy canopy perfectly manicured yards, the road meanders to the camp. in these cabins we presidential walk-through all the cabins have this oak plank siding with the certain shade of green paint. all the roofs are cedar shake shingles. these very rustic, very leafy, very fresh. but at night i find it particularly surreal definitely quiet, no white except pathway light. no noise except for a squirrel in the tree no lights, no noises from below eerily quiet peaceful. inside the campus is called cedar just from the corner from aspen and the president's logic. >> how many cabins are in camp david, how big is the site? >> there are about four guest cabins preside

is that both eisenhower and kennedy really resented it? they really shied from calling it a race for from frankly admitting that it was a race because they felt that to to adopt that terminology was to get backed into a competition with the soviet union that we might lose. in fact that we were losing from the very beginning from the moment when the soviets sent that first satellite's sputnik into orbit around the earth in october of '57 and there was a whole series of firsts that followed that where this soviet domination of the of the heavens was was well established within the first from the first moments of the space race, so eisenhower's that if he sort of talked it down a little bit that he might take the edge off the competition because frankly eisenhower's really he wasn't invested in it literally or figuratively he wasn't emotionally invested in and he wasn't politically invested in it and he really refused as long as he could to invest federal dollars in some kind of competition with the soviet union for what purpose. he didn't re

no cameras or press eisenhower. eisenhower will later joke that nazi german dictator adolf hitler could have killed every tough american and british with a single, well-placed. but the invasion of hitler's festering europa fortress is hardly a surprise. the whole world knows hundreds of thousands of allied troops been assembling in great britain for months, training each day for the singular of wrenching control of europe from hitler's grasp. sometime in the summer, coincidentally, on this very day, general montgomery graces cover of life magazine, a vivid portrait of monty's character runs inside cromwellian, in churchill's words, austere, accomplished, tireless while also playing off the journals esthetically, style, quote. he lives in complete simplicity. it's the plainest food has no recreation, except that of writing novels and detective stories. he is often impatient of human frailty, but an equally large feature runs under the headline american invaders mass in england. a dozen photographs show montgomery and

eisenhower decided to make mossadegh and soraya faint dulles chose a coup d'état in 1953.the study of this action is very interesting because it answers the question of how to overthrow a government . they sent you to a country and told you to look at what you are doing . he was like a person like james bond. he promoted efficiency . he explained to the leaders and editors of the newspapers that mossadegh was a dictator and should go. except for giving military officials to the parliament and other people, one of the most interesting things he did was this. who decided to live in chaos in iran, he imagined every day if there would be a riot in iran and even if there is a violent conflict, people think that prime minister mossadegh has completely lost his control , so when the day of the coup d'état was approaching, he went to the mobs of tehran, they called him shaaban the brainless, and ordered him to do evil to people in the streets of tehran , but mossadegh is alive. this was not enough, someone better had hired all those lata, who in tehran had very intense street conf

do you remember when ron howard supporteed a lie stevenson and bosley supported eisenhower.s a movie moment? eisenhower gnome abilene, kansas. ultimately are you happy with what joe biden has done so far. recall. will i know joe biden has disqualified himself. never cared about black lives. never more clear than today when 13,000 sudanese americans and allies being left behind with another conflict going on around the world. and african-americans right here in our country. don't have the freedom without leaving their own lives. terrible record as president both foreign and abroad. i don't know why americans would vote for him. >> if michigan -- if his michigan goes for the what they did in 2016 four three democrats running. dnc are not holding any primary debates. so candidates are upset about that. it's not democratic assume one person running joe biden. look at the g.o.p. six people running, perry johnson if you don't know who he is. author from michigan. the others you probably already know donald trump is going to be probably the hardest one to beat. depending on what ha

he was not a buddy of dwight eisenhower's, the labor secretary under eisenhower had had been a person who'd been able to navigate successfully between corporate world and the labor world. george understood that george meeting wanted to go. so he went to nixon white house and he said, i want to go to a seat at the memorial service for george meaning. and i said, hell no, why would we give a seat to this leading democrat? george eventually got him the seat and minnie was touched by that gesture. that's the kind of thing that george did. it was these little personal gestures that time that that were multiple had multiplier effect on his effectiveness. yeah. and he took that those same skills then to the position, the role that we know him best for of course as secretary of state secretary of state ronald reagan. he became secretary under kind of unusual conditions. and you might want to just relate that because it was pretty interesting entry, but it was also a time when the united states, our allies, others were trying to assess the change that was happening in the soviet union, how rea

in response to eisenhower's letter, he sent a telegram to washington that he intends to remove nasser overthrow the government. anthony eden began to implement his final plan , forming a triangle with the presence of britain, france, and israel. gave a triangle that was supposed to be an all-out war between the queen of egypt and the overthrow of nasser led to the creation of the paris war room called safar. on october 22 , 1956 , the foreign ministers of france and britain met in the presence of israeli prime minister david bangree. three sides reached the land of sweet traditions in the name of god, the most merciful. hello, i would like to say the end of the sport of the iranian women's national football team's ascension to the second stage of the olympic qualifiers. in the first stage of the 2024 olympic qualifiers, our country's women's team went to us for the second time. the match was a draw . the single goal of the iranian team ended one-on-one negin zandi scored in the 13th minute and said that by winning these pictures of the victory in the first game, iran's women got the l

and so adlai stevenson and general eisenhower were for election. he gave them access to the daily summary so that they could know what he was seeing and help them prepare and when the candidate becomes the president elect, they get the full president's daily brief, no different than the president. so robert byer as we continue our tour of cia museum, the cold war is in full swing. a lot of spy gadgets come out of that, don't they? there really was an iron curtain over the soviet bloc. and it was incredibly to get in there, get what we call is our assets, our sources of information to help us understand what was going on behind that soviet iron curtain. and so we needed disguises. we needed equipment that would help our assets get the information needed. things like, the microdot camera that would basically take a picture of a document and shrink it down to the size of a dot. these are the types of things that we would give to our assets in order to collect that information and you've got on display here a can and a miniature book. what are we looki

here is president eisenhower.e instructed his administrations to deny at the beginning when plane two, he instructed to deny that it was a reconnaissance aircraft. they did not know that the pilot had escaped and that he could be presented as the main evidence that it was actually trying to prove that it was something more, uh, innocent. well, firstly , and when the question arose of who would recognize responsibility, eisenhaus said, i made this decision, and i will take responsibility for the second. well, you know the case of the state leader. it's still to find a balance between sincerity and keeping state secrets, and so here's what eisenhower did, it was, of course, an unwanted incident, and khrushchev reacted to it very sharply, but i can understand, but in principle, in principle , it is not good for statesmen to lie all the time, especially when you say about some big things with big powers, and kisel also wrote his memoirs about this, that he practically did not encounter the fact that the soviet leaders

and think of one of the brave men general eisenhower led during that war.e who went on to become a u.s. senator and teamed up with a democrat from iowa to expand civil rights by passing the americans with disabilities act. [applause] by seeking your continued partnership i'm not asking for the impossible or something that is never been done before kansans have long worked together to take on the challenges facing them. and do not forget, you and i have two. 286 times over these past four years every time i found a signed a bill into law it had bipartisan support. we have not always seen eye to eye but the truth is only when we band together have we made real progress. that is why i'm asking you tonight to again to me in the middle. on so many issues facing our state from tax relief, to water, to healthcare the best solutions are not republican or democrat. they will come from compromise and collaboration, finding common sense, middle of the road solutions. over the next four years he must see each other as partners, not as foes. to build on all we have acco

and eisenhower asked him and how did you solve during the offensives, especially during the defeat ofthe center group, such a problem as anti-tank mines is very simple, a few infantry divisions and then tanks, what has changed , nothing has changed and it will continue to happen, one small stroke if in march of last last year, the russians lost 3,900 personnel and 900 pieces of equipment already in december of last year, out of 21,000 personnel and 300 pieces of equipment, their potential in terms of high-quality equipment is actually decreasing little by little and all that is more or less good. they are really coming - they are coming for some possible potential strike where we will see it now. we cannot. classic infantry ramparts are now and will be the main tactic of the enemy , and there is no need to think about the fact that they are putting people there, they do not regret it. because it has always been like that with them and we understand that now the more our enemy lies in our steppe , the easier it will be for our grandchildren to fight with them again. in that direction,

eisenhower, what do you think about that?le lot of money you're going to pay a whole lot of taxes, look. >> i think back in the eisenhower days, top marginal tax rate was around 90%. >> that's right. >> so you're saying we should go back at a certain point, you've got a dollar and 90 cents goes to the government. >> no, that's not quite the way it works. it means your top dollar at the certain level. >> bit y the time you make 20 o $50 million. >> it's the top dollar. >> you know why theodore roosevelt established the tax? he was worried about concentration of the rich becoming much richer. >> you're saying billionaires should not exist. are you basically saying once you get to $999 million that the government should confiscates all the rest? >> i'm saying we should go back to a very progressive tax policy like what we had under dwight d. eisenhower. >> which would mean over a billion dollars, it all goes to the government. >> you may disagree with me. i think people can make it on 900, you know, $99 million. i think that the

general eisenhower, who's leading the military effort to defeat. he's been reading intelligence report he's been reading for years about the german crimes, but they're so extreme that he feels they can't all be true. and so he says, once they're occupying these camps, i want to go see one for myself because i can't believe what i've been reading. and it is even far worse than those reports he read, and he predicts that at some point people will not believe the truth of these crimes. and indeed, we witness holocaust denial today. when people come to this museum, they start the tour on this floor, right? they start here through america's first direct encounter with the history, which is the witnessing of the crimes. and through our soldiers, these young men from across the country fighting to defeat. and understanding that they are fighting something much greater than a war. this is really about human dignity and human freedom. as you see in this photo. the day you get your clear choice. dental implants changes your struggle with missing teeth foreve

eisenhower didn't make us all buy tvs. barack obama didn't make us buy iphones. is he force -- trump did not make us all get electric toothbrushes. we just used our rotator cuffs and do it on the cheek. there is really no reason for it. they are forcing us to get a vaccine, to wear masks, enough already with the forcing. let us choose what we want to do. but light bulbs, don't get me started. the gas stoves, don't get me started. did you know this statistic my found out today, judge, it is going to rock you. electric cars emit 20 tons of carbon before you even drive them. that means there is four years of driving before the thing even gets off the lot. so, it's because of all of the heavy machinery and industrial production it takes to do these things. and then you plug it in, and then the grid is run off what? carbon. china dominates. that stupid. it is not going to lower the earth's temperature at all p of all it does make the donors happy because this is a religion to them, and it makes my guys in detroit happy because they sell these things, and we pay for ha

we have eisenhower and the right who will become president. but many others who you can learn about. these are the these are the american leaders, but we also have the war heroes and i call this it could be you the generals on the ground and the kind of every man soldier. and then we also have the martyrs behind the iron curtain and in very important case that highlighted the oppression of religious freedom and also got into the idea of a psychological warfare and brain manipulation drugging of people to make false confessions and then here the man the man who make iron curtains. this is the one big man the war maker mount saint whose pictured here as rather ghoulish and green workers, of course is a very important theme because workers in the in the soviet union are depicted as slaves. they don't get to the to to have the fruits of their own labor. they can't the state directs their and here is a fascinating card on african americans that is that somebody can easily write an entire paper on this and there are people who have written papers on
