eisenhower power and the eisenhower party was responsible for that. and we're losing the cold war overseas to communists and we're losing it at home. and so i think the rage in part stems from the of the country was being lost. so, as i say, despite them being the especially the founders, their colossi, a striding the nation's most dynamic economy. and they are i mean, they're you know, this is a system that has made them right in a sense. right. mean they're they're incredibly prosperous and successful. you know, more successful than the vast of other americans. and yet there is this kind of rage at the direction over many decades. and eisenhower are, for some of them at least becomes the focal point of it at the question just right here. you said at the beginning that you started this book in part to seriously consider the arguments made or the philosophy of the john birch society. my question is do you think by giving legitimacy see and taking these sorts crazy seriously you give them a legitimacy they don't deserve? well you know that's that's a r

ronald reagan goes to visit president eisenhower in palm springs and eisenhower tells him, listen, you ought to think running for governor of california. you know, i like your ideas, but i even think you may have potential to be president. and so let's talk about foreign policy, talk about what i learned as general eisenhower during world war two. and over the next years, they start meeting regularly for these series of discussions, sessions, seminars if you if you if you will. but, you know, fast to president reagan's strategy to actually win cold war. he absolutely wanted to win it. he wanted to defeat communism. as i mentioned earlier, but he wanted to keep the cold war, cold. he did not want it to turn hot because would have meant the death of all of us. and so that's why there's this much more surface dictated understanding we now have of his defense buildup, that it was designed win without fighting to the soviets, to have to negotiate from a posture of weakness rather than strength. and this is why during his eight years in office, even with presiding over, you know, a massive m

dwight eisenhower played in the kansas stately under the name wilson. the eastern carolina league where thorpe played for the rocky mountain railroaders and the highlanders, has so many playing with aliens because -- that it was called the pocahontas league. jim thorpe played as jim for and he never tried to hide it. there are several key factors. one is that all of the powerful white figures who were involved in jim losing his medals, knew exactly what he was doing, starting with pop warner, who had been sending indian athletes to play baseball for years, whose close associate in pennsylvania was the scout who brought jim and his teammates and matt with thorpe at least twice -- and met with thorpe at least twice while playing baseball. once they went hunting in oklahoma. after the story broke that jim thorpe had played baseball, the story broke in worcester, massachusetts in the "worcester telegram." a reporter in worcester heard one of jim's former managers was in town and talked about how he managed jim thorpe. he wrote the story and it became a big

they called for first-strike plans, which was by order of president eisenhower.'t want any plan for limited war of any kind with the soviet union under any circumstances because that would enable the army to ask for enormous numbers of divisions or even tactical nuclear weapons to deal with the soviets. so he required that the only plan for fighting soviets under any circumstances such as an encounter in the berlin corridor, the access to west berlin, or over iran, which was already a flashpoint at that point, or yugoslavia, if they had gone in -- however the war started -- with an uprising in east germany, for example -- however it got started, eisenhower's directed plan was for all-out war, in a first initiation of nuclear war, assuming the soviets had not used nuclear weapons. and that plan called, in our first strike, for hitting every city -- actually, every town over 25,000 in the ussr and every city in china. a war with russia would inevitably involve immediate attacks on every city in china. in the course of doing this -- pardon me -- there were no reserv

so that from the founding era at least through presidents truman and eisenhower, in setting our grand strategy for cold war in the second half of the 20th century, the basic principles, the template strategy comes from washington, and that principle is that america as a new kind of republic in the world, will balance interest and justice. or put another way, we will be guided by the self-interest of a civilized but, strong republic. and these first two points lead to my third point, that while there's plenty of scope for statesmanship prudence, practical judgment in this two centuries long story of america developing its strategies and policies in the always changing circumstances, world affairs, american statesmen and citizens aren't just making it up. there is a political philosophy guiding their principles and prudent judgments. and here, morrison did me a great favor to give you a brief description of montesquieu and importance for the american founding, because the single most important philosopher in forming american grand strategy in foreign policy is this french jurist and phi

we have seen rates as high as 90% that can represent the eisenhower administration. wesee low rates in the 30% and 40% range. but anywhere between 13-20%. we are about maxed out on our revenues right now. 19-20% on gdp is what we are bringing in on taxes. what we are discovering is with the -- productivity. the increase in this ultimately brings you revenue. don't forget, taxes are not a remedy to debt. taxes and debt are the ways you pay for spending. if you use the old [indiscernible] it is the spending, stupid. when you are -- once you spend one dollar you have already decided to tax that dollar. the government cannot put a dollar into the economy that it first does not take out of the same economy. it takes out as taxes that were -- reduces your current standard of living or it arose that money -- borrows that money. and you end up having to pay it back less enormous interest cost at the meantime. and tax that would be available for the consumer or borrower. taxes and debt are the two ways you should papers -- you are paying for spending. it is the spending, stup

were you pouring over eisenhower footage? >> mostly i did it with his voice.of vernacular, a sort of sound and approach to speaking that i was familiar with from people that i've known in my life very well. i just started from the sound of his voice. then the playwright wrote the play in such a way that it would be perfect for eisenhower to say. it wasn't written in somebody else's voice. so the moment i started saying the words of the play, i felt that i was eisenhower and i was in it, and i feel that every night. >> eisenhower's reputation with historians has improved since that early ranking shortly shortly after his presidency, having kind of immersed yourself in dwight eisenhower,s what do you think americans don't understand? what will they understand through your performance that perhaps they didn't realize before about the man? >> well, i think eisenhower, even somebody like me who lived through his presidency and even met him once at the white house, we all thought of him as just a good old guy. he was bald and he played a lot of golf, and he was sort

now, when we get to the eisenhower's mania, eisenhower loved to decorate for holidays, and she's really the first one that really jumps into halloween. so like the annual halloween celebration, you probably remember reading about, it really kicks off with her. but also loved christmas. and all of a sudden, the white went from having maybe a few to i think. one year they had 16 trees and then the next towards the end of the eisenhower administration, they had 29 trees, which is a lot. but i know last year the trumps had. 81 trees. so i mean it's grown, you know, ever since the eisenhower's where all of a sudden now christmas decorations are not just isolated to the corners and. they're not just in the east room. i mean, they're they're on the outside of the white house. they're all over the state floor. they're on the ground floor. they're in the east wing. they're in the west wing. so we've really seen the expansion of of how the first families and and staff decorate for the holidays since the eisenhower's. yes who's in charge of? who has been in charge. the past of decorating? and is i

kennedy, we went, because the path that eisenhower warned against.ing on it and today it's time to move back it's time. the story of the ban on the publication of a new batch of documents is a classic example of a situation where everything confirms the worst suspicion, no matter what was said. no, or even just silence in truth, it is not particularly important who exactly killed kennedy at the hands of the cia federal reserve bankers. pentagon fbi cosa nostra or drug dealer. anyway vip state american, the deep state has given yet another confirmation of its existence. and what are the financiers in it? the mafia generals are we, in truth, and we have known this for a long time. when once again we are faced with an example of the lies of western politicians and the shameless concealment of information from society, it is just right to ask the question, and the people on the capitalist hill really defend the interests of their people, the question is rhetorical and understandable. why the frankness of such leaders as alexander lukashenko simply irrita

ten years old he met his first president, president eisenhower, who had come to visit his late queen ii and the queen herself had met 13 us presidents during her incredible 70 year reign as i'm sure king charles would have learnt a thing or two about how these meetings go from his late mother, the queen, so as we look at these pictures that we saw earlier, i'm very happy to introduce my two guests who will talk all this through with me. joining me now is royal correspondent daniela relph and julie norman. she's the co director of the centre on us politics at university college london. both of them join us now here on this sunny alone in the long walk outside windsor castle and if i can bring you and first of all, talk us through what is happening behind us at the moment between these two men. we are in the final stages of the visit here by the president of the united states joe visit here by the president of the united statesjoe biden and we know they've had the king and the president for half an hour, taking tea, having private time to talk to one another about the issues they wante

eisenhower himself said later this was mostly for show and how to control dulles, who was always talking massive retaliation and use of nuclear weapons. north korea had no nuclear weapons from that point until 2006, and yet, the u.s. consistently threatened no korea with nuclear weapons. dulles also masterminded the placement of nuclear weapons in south korea in january 1958, tactical new your weapons of other types. soon, even backpack nukes, which weighed 60 pounds, and one soldier could carry them around any place near the dmz. george h.w. bush took those nuclear weapons out of south korea as a general drawdown of those weapons on a world scale, but as i said earlier, the u.s. has continued to threaten north korea with nuclear weapons. it is game theory or deterrence theory 101, that after you threaten a small country long enough, they will go for their own. i have to say, it is always the media attention on north korea firing a missile or blowing off an atomic bomb, and almost never any attention to the decades long history of american nuclear blackmail. amy: professor cummings, it h

so eisenhower ran to preserve america's engagement with the world. and the international peace and stability that had brought. alas, there is no eisenhower to redirect the republican party today. and the stakes are as high as they were in 1952, if not higher. as we look around the world and the dangers to the international order, the single biggest risk may not may lie not in the killing fields of ukraine or across the taiwan straits, but rather on the campaign trail here in the united states. go to cnn.com/fareed for a link to my "washington post" column this week. and let's get started. ♪ >>> ukraine's counteroffensive is into its second month. and progress has been slow. the challenges are vast. russia's war in ukraine is the world's largest armed conflict since world war ii. this war is being fought on the ground with traditional weaponry like tanks and bullets. but also in the skies, with newer technologies like drones. a report in may found ukraine was losing more than 10,000 drones per month. while my next guest says swarms of drones are the f

and eisenhower hated doing this as the next president and his aides recorded. he would go into depressions when. he had to talk about plans for his funeral. everyone reacts their own way. in any case, on that cheerful note morning, the it's really a classic. this has been done before. very subject tells all sorts of things about the way the country has changed and it's just a great of the way that you can take one thread of history and follow it from the beginning all the way up to our time and. it's sort of a capsule capsule version. everything that has transpired. so if we could have a hand for those who have helped to bring that to. thank you. michael, thank you to all of our panelists was a terrific discussion. if you would like to join us on behalf of myself and, president of the white house historical association stewart mclaurin, we will be hosting a reception in decatur house on the second floor. please come and join us for additional conversation. doesn't all have to be about death and mourning. it can be about other things as as. and in addition, matt

what eisenhower about the french and the british, as she was said though, we didn't find where, where to so, so you can reorganize your tony's and that's the kind of presidential courage that i think we're gonna, we're gonna have to have your i recognize that the campaign is next year i think it would really go wrong. bad on, on the printing and side binding will be blank for that. i know that by the republicans, all that is, is, is true. but, but this is really a defining time, i think, in our history, and i think it world is. i'm just interested if you think the stakes that you just laid out very articulately require a different kind of pastor from the us and nato allies. i do it, i don't, i don't think it just, it's a simple thing here that we've got. well, we'll just kinda go along and give them enough and so on. no, that's not going to work. and i would be in favor. busy of escalating this to the point that gets you to where you want to be in this thing, on your terms on your brain a service, but it's more than your brain is bigger than you grade. one point i would make here, it'

eisenhower, we are walking on it, and today it's time to move back it's time. the story of the ban on the publication of a new batch of documents is a classic example of a situation where everything confirms the worst suspicion, no matter what was said. no, or even just silence in truth, it is not particularly important who exactly killed kennedy at the hands of the cia federal reserve bankers. pentagon fbi cosa nostra or drug dealer. in any case , the deep state of the american deep state has given yet another confirmation of its existence. and what are in it financiers? the mafia generals are we, in truth, and we have known this for a long time. we will tell you about the main enterprise of our country, we produce according to the recipe of 1970 and invariably produce it manually. this is the hallmark of our company, we will introduce the people who work there, the workers of this plant. they are probably the hallmark of this enterprise, because when they talk about their cheeses, you fall in love with this process itself, and then you start trying it and jus

and eisenhower decided to run.ld exert power abroad. the last couple of years, the republican party is returning to what is the pre-eisenhower, i.s. toward i don't want to say isolation, but taking care of ourselves. for a while we did not have big polling gaps on how isolationist the u.s. should be but now we do. it's not just a donald trump thing, a lot of republicans have said we should not waste our money abroad. it is an ancient war crime in america but we've had about 50 years without it. it has come back. jonathan: david says republicans, we should take care of our own, but the republicans we are talking about today don't even want to take about what's -- take care of it's happening on in the country with what they've voted against. i know i cut you off. geoff: typically foreign policy doesn't really resonate in presidential elections. will that change the cycle given ukraine? jonathan: sure, it might. i think the president's leadership makes it something that could be salient. this is something in terms of

nixon has a daughter julie nixon eisenhower on a boat. they're kind of on vacation. so i recall this is taken up in maine. the love the water they had a house down in florida on the water in key biscayne when he retired to new jersey after he left california, he would frequently drive down to the jersey shore to go for a swim. you know, it fascinating he gave up his secret service protection in the early 1980s and just had like one former secret service agent who was his driver so he basically had very little if any security and despite how controversial he was. he never had an unpleasant encounter with anybody and all the time he spent out, you know, whether swimming in the beach or whatever, but this is a great this is the the nixon's really love love being on the water. he used the presidential yacht which he named sequoia again after the magnificent trees in california more than any other president during the whole time that the that they had presidential yachts because they really like being on the water. absolutely. yeah. okay. do you think his and for you know

unlike president eisenhower, unlike president eisenhower who escorted the arkansas 9 to make sure their rights were protected and our president today, he stood up and said he was going to work to figure out how to contravene the season. halleluiah that if you are an american, the government isn't going to force you to violate your personal beliefs in order for you to enter the workplace. halleluiah. government should never be telling people they have to have do that . >> there's decline of americans feel pate ick and watch what's -- pate i don't mean ick and what's going on and isn't that -- pat yacht ick and isn't that part of why the r are reac. something like to today's decision and clawing and tearing at their shirts and being dramatic about the end of civilization as we know it because a few decisions didn't go their way and that's really affecting people and look, for me, i'm an immigrant to the country and celebrate the day we came to america every year and coming up july to the my america verse reigns leading and i know this is the greatest, freest country and the problems we fa
