eisenhower authorized the birth of what was then called arpanet, the advanced research projects agency. present the time the nation'sag first space agency with the creation of nafta. all of the satellite and space programs civil and military would go into this agency and the agency would do everything possible, throw bureaucracy toto the wind, cut red tape and get america into space. darpa did this successfully inis under a year and a crew eventually into what it is today, a $3 billion to your agency made up of 140 technical personnel called program managers. it still bears some of that unique traits from its early days, lack of bureaucracy and an ability to move quickly to find new projects.d unlike the national science foundation and snet is peer review to review projects. i can move very quickly. does not permit employees by scientific managers coming for periods coming for. the two to five years to manage projects that live or die and the sailors succeed in that time. and then they move on. it has the ability unlike other parts of government to fail and hopefully succeed as well. i

he was around like when eisenhower was there. he was president too for a while. and -- i'm just kidding, all the young people here don't know all these things. [laughter] the beatles were there, it was an amazing time. [laughter] taft was the -- >> ah, to be young again. >> taft was the senator from 1939-1953. he was known as mr. conservative. and he said that if americans do not have health care because they cannot afford it, it ought to be given to them for free. >> so to go back to my be original question, i'm sorry, david, i won't take too long here, it sounds like it is hess the tactic or the approach house republicans have taken, and you think it's the actual bill that they've been trying to move that have stopped them from repealing obamacare. >> well, you know, when you go home and everybody's yelling at you on both sides, you know, that's one thing. politicians don't like anybody yelling at 'em, okay? and you don't like anybody yelling at you at politico. we yell at you from time to time. you deserve it though. [laughter] but, i end mean, i think it's wh

her office is in eisenhower, correct, francesca? >> i'm not entirely sure about that. one thing i was also told about this is that you have to recall that she's known president trump for a long time, longer than some of these other people because they were on "the apprentice" together. she is someone who helped in the campaign with his blackoutreach. if president trump wants to call someone into the oval office or call them on the phone to have a discussion, he's going to do that. there's not anyone who will stop him in the west wing. >> it's so funny when you say they were on "the apprentice" together. >> my sources told me she is a gatekeeper to a lot of african-american republicans, there are a lot of hires going through omerosa, a lot of people say she's very close to the president, he trusts her and believes in her loyalty. this is someone who has taken fire for president trump, the idea that she was head of the blackoutreach when he was going to no black communities, when he went to one black church, the fact that he had to deal with that and defend those stances

if you month later and 58 president dwight d eisenhower authorized the birth of our bed that advanced research project agency and it was at a time-- this predates the creation of nafta. on the satellite in space program would go into this agency this agency would do everything possible, throw bureaucracy to the wind. darpa did this quite successfully and under a year acre eventually to what it is today, which is a 3 billion-dollar a year agency. it still bears summing the traits in its early days with a lack of drucker's inability to move quickly to find new projects. unlike the national science foundation it doesn't need peer-reviewed. it can move quickly. it doesn't have permanent employees. it has the ability unlike other parts of government to fail and hopefully to succeed as well. if the originator of sony technologies that have changed that a build of our daily lives including drones, weapons, driverless cars and you could argue and i think i agree that it's the most successful research agency ever created at least the most successful military research agency. it doesn't mean it

draw a clear line linking the war that they said was murderous and materialistic was connected to -- eisenhower's famous warning about the military-industrial complex, protesters charge that americans most successful capitalists for more responsibility for the carnage in asia. the nation's "war machine" they argued generated military contracts. for everything from ammunition and aircraft to the justified flaming gasoline known as napalm that us farmers port on the vietnamese jungles and the people that lived there. antiwar demonstrators and their protests not only the military and government, including president johnson and later richard nixon. but also corporations whom they labeled as war profiteers. when activists broke late in 1969, why do we continue to demonstrate in washington as if the core of the problem lays bare? we need to find ways to do this for corporations. on april 28, 1970, thousands of antiwar activists converged on an annual shareholder meeting of the honeywell corporation. an energy conglomerate that manufactured cluster bombs among other audits.and other weapons. facing the

you know, in '52, see, it was eisenhower or robert taft. eisenhower represented the establishment, mr. taft represented the republican outsiders. then nixon and lodge, goldwater and rockefeller. >> right. >> and then, again, nixon and then rockefeller. but there's always a split inside the republican party between the conservative outsiders and the more moderate insiders, and this, of course,ar hasn't again in 1980 -- happens again in 1980. reagan represents the conservative outsiders, and bush represents the more moderate insiders, and this is the fight over, you know, the nomination. the future of the party boils down to these two individuals. >> well, tell us about it. >> well, it was a see i saw battle for -- seesaw battle for a while because reagan kind of coasts. reagan is at his worst when he's not challenged. reagan is at his best when somebody's challenging him. he was competitive.. mike dever once told me he was the most competitive s.o.b. he ever knew. he needs to be challenged, otherwise he doesn't rise to the occasion. so he do

he quoted the us president eisenhower in the cold war era, his criticism of what eisenhower called the military—industrial complex. what he's book about being influenced by images from the vietnam war in his younger days. it is hard not to escape the view that this is a man whose formative political years quite a long time ago are what still guides very much his perception of the world and international affairs. to recapture latest on the cyber attack that appears to be under way on nhs services in many parts of england. some of the areas hit, bringing down it systems in various hospitals and gp surgeries, barts in london, that is blackpool hospitals... this is the message being repeated in several nhs trusts because of these cyber attacks. blackpool, blackburn, nottingham, cumberland in ca rlisle, blackpool, blackburn, nottingham, cumberland in carlisle, barts says it is experiencing a major it disruption with delays at all hospitals and they have activated a major incident plan. that is barts health trust. quite a lot of other areas affected. ba rts areas affected. barts also, reut

what we are facing, the recent polls in the us show this, he has the highest disapproval rating since eisenhower, at this stage, 0bama was 56%, which was to be accepted. at the core of people that elected him still love him and forgive his sins. you have these two americas. only 2% of people that voted for them say they would have done differently? you rightly point out who will be here for four years, in theory. one of the interesting aspects of the american political system is the separation of powers. you have senators elected once every six years. the house of representatives, 400 people in the lower house of congress, they have to face the electorate in 18 months' time. so, even though the first 100 days is an artificial benchmark, 200 days is really serious. that is the time at which individual republican party congressmen have to decide, is this guy worth my political capital? then we see, can he get anything done? again, that comes back to the base. with all the tax cuts he is announcing, he will have the support of wall street and the tech industry. i think he is going to have a much sm

>>. >> with eisenhower, i know, i think the military preparedness had a big part of it, making sure we had preparedness in the country. only world war ii. >> but also, obviously it had an impact on our economy. and looking at the different ways of funding, i know that they look at that time tolls versus the gas tax and they utilized the gas tax for a significant portion of that so i guess i'm always, when it comes to infrastructure ultimately the people who use it are going to have to pay for it one way or the other. whether it's taxing people, there's a lot of different possibilities and as i mentioned earlier, as far as we believe it's going to require adderall, state and local government investment and private industry. so we really think it's all of the above when it comes to those options and the gas tax , it hasn't been increased since 1993. it's lost a very significant percentage of its buying power since then. it seems like a clear solution to do that, to increase an asp recommends it which i think our policy recommends a 25 percent increase, i suspect most folks don't have any

border wall and republicans and democrats told mick mulvaney the budget director to go back to the eisenhower building and wait out an agreement. it was passed and border wall money i'm told was never part of the conversation, even during the transition when the appropriators worked on this. i do think we face a bit of a showdown later this year if negotiations continue and there's no sign of border money. remember this, the calculation will be different. you always think the party in congress will be blamed. the party that runs congress is the republican party. and senators especially know if anyone's going to be blamed for the shutdown, it will be republicans entirely because they control all the levers. robert: some people on the outside might have been singing consume -- kumbaya, but the president reacting and democrats reacting. erica: it's worth noting that democrats were able to take a victory lap, but that's partly because of the mixed messaging coming out of the white house. had the white house said all we want from this spending bill is a bump in defense spending and then it will be

my parents fo were eisenhower ad lyndon johnson voters. has that gone the way of everybody going to the same movies every week? >> that is a great question. it is consistent and the hypothesis that the degree and diversity are smaller than they used to be but i don't know the day that actually enables that particular issue. there has been geographical sorting along the political lines that is high here than what was found in the decades before. what is unclear is whether family members have internal disagreements. what we are finding in the party is suggestive that there are bus internal disagreements. >> the debate is at the beginning of the data on, you know, do you have your son marry a republican. >> if your uncle is republican and you are democrat, unless you dislike them you probably are not going to be alarmed. so, the data is consistent with the hypothesis, which i don't know to be true, which is that there has been a demure mission on that account. >> on my remarks quoting something that occurred to me apropos the earlier question

dwight eisenhower said on another occasion, if people can develop weapons that are so terrifying has to make the thought of global war almost a sentence for suicide, you would think that man's intelligence would think that man's intelligence would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution. and in the words of another american, martin luther king, the chain reaction of evil, hate, begetting hate, wars produce more wars, must be broken. 0r produce more wars, must be broken. orwe produce more wars, must be broken. or we shall be plunged into the dark days of annihilation. i believe we can find those solutions. we can walk the hard yards to a better way to live together on this planet. a labour government will give leadership in a new and constructive way, and that is the leadership we are ready to provide, both at home and abroad. thank you very much. applause thank you, jeremy. before going to the flora, i have a couple of questions for you. when you are in the united nations, as permanent member of the security council, to make things work, you need to have agreement with a

some of the members were at the eisenhower building at an ice cream social with veterans when they got urgent phone calls because the president had needed he needed to share. today at the briefing, sarah huckabee sanders said she hadn't had the opportunity, the time to gather all of the facts, nor the access to the president. listen here. >> i hadn't had a chance to have the conversation district lly - directly with the president. i didn't ask that question, had you already made that decision. i went off of the information that i had when i answered your question. i've since had the conversation with him before i walked on today. he laid it out clearly. he made that decision. he had been thinking about it for months, which i said yesterday and have said many times since. wednesday, i think was the final straw that pushed him. >> clearly the totality of the information was not available to them when they initially came out, shep. they had the long letter from the deputy attorney general laying out his reasons why he thinks that comey should be fired or at least that the fbi needed new l

we've been disappointed going all the way back to eisenhower. my own personal view, by the way, is that, you know, it's not enough to appoint someone who has a conservative record. you really need to appoint somebody who has shown that they're not afraid to be politically incorrect. that they don't value the opinion of "the new york times" and the cocktail party sir -- circuit. one of the people wants pryor early on in the search for scalia was that he had that quality. gorsuch, we'll see. he was a fantastic nominee. whether he has that edge, we'll see. but, you know, i think the good news is that with the filibuster gone, trump can appoint someone very conservative if he wants to. he doesn't have to worry about winning over moderate democrats. the bad news is that, you know, we really have to keep the republican party united. the days when either party could count on getting votes from the other side if it was a, you know, really qualified nominee, i think, are gone. you know, our side has probably never waged a better campaign for supreme cour

t when eisenhower wanted to end the korean war, there was a back channel through india that was a key communication method. the notion that suddenly this is a terrible thing, it verges on being insane.io but this whole story, and i worry -- i don't actually worry about the substance. i worry about the investigative process and the degree to which a sooner or later somebody will engage in a mistake. and that mistake will now be the problem. not the original act, not the original accusation, and peopleo need to be very careful in dealing with the criminal justice system. do you remember a simple fact, sean, 97% of the campaign donations given by the justice department went to hillary clinton. 99% -- >> sean: why weren't they gone? >> we are talking about deep into the bureaucracy, when you talk about total numbers.ou but there are obama appointees that are still all over the place, and the trump administration on to be doubling and tripling the effort to getac rid of them. it is absurd that we are now about to enter june with people from the obama era still in decision-making positions

>> the wise men were a group of people who advised truman, and then eisenhower. it was dean afterison, chip bowlen, mccloy, lovette, avrille hairn harrellman. by coauthor and i wrote the book to try to show how american foreign policy sometimes transcended politics. these were men who kept themselves behind the scenes. it is a type of person i think we could strongly use right now. >> i want to talk to you about this term "back channel" which has been a term of art in the world that you have studied and seen up close. i want to play a come pend yum of people in the trump administration over the weekend and their attempt to brand what mr. kushner is accused of as a back channel. then we'll talk about it after this. >> number one interest really is the nation. so you know, there's a lot of different ways to communicate, back channel, you know, publicly with other countries. i don't see any big issue here relative to jerad. >> we have back channel communications with any number -- with a number of countries. so generally speaking about back channel communications, w
