lucius. and staying silent for now molly's opposition agrees to stop protests calling for the president to step down. an intelligence report has found the british government actively avoided looking into evidence of russian interference in u.k. politics it says the government failed to make action even after evidence emerge of moscow trying to influence the 2014 scottish independence referendum the authors say it's hard to prove the kremlin meddled in the. referendum but the u.k. was still to recognize the threat and the report warns russia's cyber capability pauses what it calls and immediate threat to britain's national security while the u.k. government insists it's not being complacent when it comes to the flow of illegal russian money into the country but members of parliament the parliamentary committee didn't agree. what we do know about russian influence in the u.k. is that is the new normal successive governments of welcome russian oligarchs and their money with out in homes and ther

will never forget the destruction of statues and monuments to george washington, abraham lincoln, lucius s grant, abolitionists and many others. the violent mayhem we have seen in the streets and cities that are run by liberal democrats in every case is the predictable results of years of extreme indoctrination and bias in education, journalism and other cultural institutions. against every law of society and nature, our children are taught in school to hate their own country and to believe that the men and women who built it were not heroes, but that were villains. the radical view of american history is a web of lies. all perspective is removed, every virtue is skewed, every motive is twisted, every fact is distorted, and every flaw is magnified until the history urged in the record is disfigured beyond all recognition. this movement is openly attacking the legacies of every person on mount rushmore. they defy all the memory of washington, jefferson, lincoln, and roosevelt. today, we will set history and history's records break.

probably the most important figure to get him to say yes was his close buddy, general lucius clay. you have to do it or the country will go to hell. you're the only person who can save the country. when you have enough people tell you that, hundreds did, thousands did, he began to think, may i am the person who can save the country, i will run, and never looked back. >> i have to ask one last question on my own. there are such colorful moments, and the personalities from that era, you are right, are just amazing. frankly will's book is so beautifully written, his almost pulitzer winner was described as written as a novel. it was written with the art and elegance of a novel. give us, as your parting gift to us, a little description of eisenhower and kruschev. >> someone should do a one-act play. first of all, he arrives -- it's 1959, he arrives -- >> this is the last year. >> berlin crisis had been going on, sputnik has already happened. there's a lot of blood blood in the water, kruschev is -- they didn't really know each other. he decides to come, eager to get an invitation, eisen
