despite the speech and eisenhower, he still decides to fly to paris to meet him.ane, he is tormented by doubts that we will not look respectable. we were presented with such a pill or for this meeting, as if nothing happened to me with treason, that we must put a condition on the united states america that they should change for the insults caused to our states flew to paris even before the start of the meetings khrushchev puts forward an ultimatum or eisenhower apologize or the soviet delegation will leave the conference he is rumored to be from enhower. i wanted to apologize, but the state department strictly forbade what kind of bowing in front of the communists in any case, khrushchev could not swallow another insult to the prestige of the soviet union if you know that you play by their rules, they will sit on your head from your head never again and will explain that this is how peacefully arranged the meeting in paris ended without starting later, many will put it. it was khrushchev's fault that he slammed the door and left. well say pie. and anyway, well, w

and we could use a grant or an eisenhower. or a reagan, frankly. optimistic leaders. >> [applause] >> so now we are coming to current events. what is your opinion of your competition at the other cable networks? >> [laughs] >> wow, wow. and this is being recorded, or? >> [laughs] >> no, no -- >> i thought this was off the record. i have respect for others at the other networks. but i will say that i do think some people, who are regular news people, thought that they were somehow affected by donald trump and his administration, to the point where they let their emotions factored in more to the point then they should have. to the point where they lost some people in the trust factor. and it hurt all of us as journalist to do that. when i took over for britt hume, in january, he said, two things, one is the show is not about you. the second, let the news drive the show. -- so i try to make that hour be as news-y as possible. and when someone puts it on they know what it is to feel like it is going on in the united states -- and take the emotion out o

but i realized i didn't know about president eisenhower, i knew about general eisenhower. so it was a discovery for me. i felt about the process of having this team, and a researcher who goes into the national archives that are literally treasure troves of nuggets of historical nuggets. and that book focusing on the three days in between eisenhower and kennedy's inauguration kind of opened my eyes for moments in history that are either overlooked or not focused on enough. so the second book is about reagan and the final summit with gorbachev. and a speech he gives at moscow state university. which in the big span of history is an amazing speech if you think about it. and it just was not focused on a lot at the time. so three days, is fdr, churchill, and stall in planning the day at the tehran conference which gets over shadowed by yalta. so it is another spotlight that i want to give for something that i did not think was focused on. so, once that three-day series was done, and the beginning, middle and end of the cold war, i wanted to find something that was also overlook

why would general eisenhower make it a military necessity? what is the operational value to a cultural property protection to the military? well, it's quite simple. it is because we value our partners cultures and we are to protecting it. monuments, rich sources of history and culture. they are central in how societies interpret. remember their own past. heritage is a human right. protecting cultural property is a military necessity. and such. you are charged to advise commanders and civil authorities on how heritage offers the means and ways to identify catalysts of instability and. to develop an operational approach and it serves as a foundational basis for reconciliation. that's what you are charged. do considering the recent conflict in iraq, afghanistan and now ukraine. this graduation is timely. the value of our partnership and the partnerships that you have built here in this training class is not only in the training that you've had the past ten days, but also in the u.s. army's legacy of protecting heritage. heritage in our partners,

in january 1961, president eisenhower retired from political 43-year-old john f.dy came to the white house. kennedy's main campaign trump card was the fight against the nuclear missile lag behind communism . the lag itself was a gigantic propaganda myth of the us government and kennedy was well aware of this. 1961, nikita khrushchev and john f. kennedy met in love for the first and last time the meeting was strange both came with a desire to relieve tension and improve the political situation between the ussr and the usa they started talking and candy said we have an advantage, like the cia counted 20 times. well, khrushchev said, well, what can we destroy you. we are not so, bloodthirsty like you, that you will kill the dead 20 more times, and it is enough for us to kill you once. they did not discuss a single practical issue , it was believed that khrushchev, uh, is some kind of communist monster. who thinks only about strengthening the influence of communism. and khrushchev came and said that hmm this is a very young president, but already very intelligent in t

dwight d eisenhower it's really interesting which is why is another talk about in eisenhower memorial on the mall. eisenhower has two terms has one at third period he got us out of the korean war avoided another war. the only time he used government truth going into little rock on civil rights endeavor he created nassau the st. lawrence seaway the interstate highway was a very moral, not a lot of corruption. i could go on. can see the rise of someone like dwight d eisenhower who not that many moons ago was ranked pretty much in the middle they thought he didn't do much as president now the archives open we can see he was a hands on president not a hands-off one. the rise of eisenhower i found particularly interesting. he is now one of the american great. >> he went from the top five forced to run at the top ten. the sixth place is truman. ninth, reagan, tenth spot is barack obama. president trump and 41st overall in its ranking. there's plenty of time to dive into those results. but ed that medford, why do this? to do this and compare these presidents over so many years? >> absolutely

he got up and kept playing and singing not dwight eisenhower out of the game could eisenhower later said i got him once meaning once in the whole game. >> that came a few months later and how did the jim thorpe end up in stockholm? >> first j of all he was the greatest all-around athlete so he was not only playing football for carlisle but he o was also their track star. again the carlisle 13 was also dominant, so much so that sub eight could be an event of all sorts for the motto of the olympics involves jumping and running and throwing and he could do all of those things. >> a hopi indian that was a long-distance runner could be the entire track me by himself. thoseeem of them went to stockhm and they were selected. theyct went over with pop warner who was their coach in jim thorpe dominated. imagine competing in 17 events in two weeks which is what he did. the decathlon which is as shorter version and he competed in the high jump in the long jump and won two gold medals during that. w back enduring one period of the decathlon competition he couldn't find issue. the mythology is that i

eisenhower did not try to roll back communism. for the conservatives like buckley, it wasn't enough to simply contain the soviet union. you had to roll back communism, defeat it. >> my reading of the history, based on, you know, your book and others, is that conservatives didn't feel that eisenhower was a conservative. and so they sided with mccarthy, who was -- who was challenging the status quo. >> yes, i mean, that's right. and, you know, mccarthy was a huge force in the republican party and in national politics. and the conservatives championed his cause. they believed that even if he was wrong about a lot of the details, even if he overreached in a lot of his investigations, he still had the grasp of the central idea of the time, which was that communism posed a threat both externally and internally, inside the federal government. and buckley was defending mccarthy pretty much right up until the end, when mccarthy was censured by the u.s. senate in the end of 1954. the issue of national review that's published after mccarthy'

eisenhower was elected president. eisenhower threatened that he would go to korea personally if necessary he would new use nuclear weapons to bring this thing to an end. i think the combination of stalin's deaths, eisenhower in the white house with eisenhower's threats probably brought everyone to the negotiating table in a very serious way. all of the prisoners were exchanged. those who did not want to go back did not have to doesn't have any questions about the korean war? okay you are out of here! if you are enjoying american history tv, sign up for our newsletter using the qr code on the screen to receive the weekly schedule from upcoming programs like lectures in history, the presidency, and more. sign up for the american history tv newsletter today and make sure to watch american history tv every saturday or anytime online at c-span.org slash history. american history tv, saturdays on c-span two, exploring the people and events that tell the american story. a 12:30 pm eastern the presidency, revealing the life o

eisenhower head to terms, could have won a third. he got as out of the korean war and avoided the other war. the only time he really use government troops was going into little rock on a civil rights endeavor. he created nasa, the st. lawrence seaway, the interstate highway system. he was very moral, not a lot of corruption in the eisenhower years. i could go on. so, you're starting to see in the polling that rise of somebody like dwight d. eisenhower. who, not that many moons ago, was ranked fairly in the middle. people thought he didn't do much as president. now, with the archives open, we could see that he was a hands on president, not a hands-off one. so, the rise of eisenhower, i found particularly interesting. this poll in the one before, he's now one of the american greats. >> you went through the top five for us, to round at the top ten. in sixth place it's truman, seventh jefferson, eighth kennedy, ninth reagan, the ten spot this year, barack obama joining the top ten this year. should, note of interest, president trump comi

eisenhower president eisenhower accepting the donation there in the top photo. so a lot of the a lot of the stage was set for mrs. kennedy. that's a perfect transition in elaine into a question for you you of course are the co-author of the book designing camelot which talks about the efforts of jacqueline kennedy and the restoration of the white house. can you tell us? how for our audience so everybody understands some people may know the story but others may not tell us what were some of the institutions that mrs. kennedy put in place that are that are still operational today. and also tell us why was she so interested in restoration in the white house? it wasn't necessarily just to like pretty things or make things look nice. there was a larger purpose that really supported the kennedy administration if you can tell us a little bit about that, i think that would be very illuminating for our audience. thank you colleen. i'm so happy to be here and i'm so happy to get to follow melissa because so much of what i do in starting to talk about mrs. kennedy. it's as

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

i have also been asked, where are the women eisenhower's? where are the women patterns, pershing? the generals that we all want to see quoted in big bold letters across the top of any chapter. i am proud to say that those individuals are coming. most of those young people, who over the past ten years we've only had women integrated into the combat arms, this is important to know because those individuals who will become the future patents and eisenhower's who we quo so -- they are in their between commands right now. they are in that company battery command. we are learning how to employ forces. we are developing different forces. to a certain extent the battalion and brigade commanders. my counterparts in aviation, communication, air defense, those individuals are in those commands right now. they are developing the experiences which will become crucial to them as they become division corps commanders in the future. the people who actually become significant technicians on the battlefield, the ones who will be watch closely for the words that they share. along with this, women ha

and eisenhower asked him why, you are only 600,000.ar you will be wiped out, my father said, no we'll be will strongest power in the middle east, we'll help protect it against soviet domination, andize e eisenhower repeated that question, you are only 600 thousand, my father said, you have just seen in two world wars, how we jews fight when we fight for others, can you imagine how we will fight when we fight for ourselves, eisenhower was so impressed with that and that my father was talking about -- blocking soviet domination of the middle east. this is my father's view how you harness other countries, you have to talk about their interests and common interesting and common values, that influenced me, the most dominant affect on my thinking, came from high father who, told me that you have to be very strong to survive. the weak don't survive and you don't make peace with the week, they get devoured, you make peace with the strong, he made that his life until he passed away at the age of 102, i was very fortunate. mark: and you went to

he would've voted for eisenhower-nixon. eisenhower was stepping back. so what happened? eisenhower-nixon did all the civil rights stuff. about four or five many black people are registered vote down south and protected. i tell the story my grandfather registered vote in 1960. they kicked him off off the cotton plantation where he was in tennessee. the fbi came down and told them he didn't have to go anywhere. eisenhower and nixon sitting down to say we pass this new law to say they cannot intimidate or hurt you anymore. you are going to vote. by grant by the voted a thing, he voted straight democrat. i asked my father why. he said black folks did what white folks told them to do. even then and at the end of that campaign that than 80% 80% k people had voted for the democrat party. now people say that all of these democrats switch to republican. fritz hollings stated democrat, george wallace dated the democrat. although southern governors all the southern centers on one switch and that was strom thurmond. only one. the rest of them stay democrat forever and black people v

i think that was because it was eisenhower's vision. we did a quick and shallow. we did not build as deep as the german audubon but we cut through cities and we routed a lot of interstate highways in ways we would not do today. what effects are you seeing or do you expect to see -- the system is old. 1956 was a long time ago. what will he see in terms of fixing some of that if we were to rebuild the interstate highway today? mayor landrieu: one of the incredible things about our country is we are constantly reimagining ourselves. constantly adapting to new challenges and opportunities. we always have a chance to course correct which is a process of constant and total renewal. i don't want to condemn the entire system. >> i am not condemning it either. [laughter] mayor landrieu: no. it was built fast and in some large measure, it was necessary. i think looking back all of us can agree that we ran through some neighborhoods we should not have run through. we never really thought much about what the consequence was going to be of that design as we played out. now tha

he went to see general eisenhower after the war. this is 1947, eisenhower is the head of the army. they bring his underlings and said you have got to hear this guy, ne netanyahu. it's not me, it's my father. he said you should support the formation of a jewish state because the soviets are going to move into the middle east and we will be the ones who will be the bastion of western. eisenhower said how can you say that. he said i say that, general within because in two world wars you just have seen how we jews fight or others. can you imagine how strong we'll be when we fight for ourselves? brian: thanks so much for your time, and thanks for the buyography, it's excellent. next, will donald trump run in 2024? it may depend on how his candidates do in the next election we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. they have no idea they're sitting on a goldmine. well they don't realize that if you have a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, you can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. we've got to tell them! hey, guys! you're sitting

now, did eisenhower feel snubbed i can't speak to that. but it shows you macarthur had a lot of support. i think as the evidence came out people realize that macarthur really overstepped his bounds, and he did. and of course there's talk about utilizing nuclear weapons against china. this is a pretty tense situation. >> was the media more involved? or was the truman administration see a part of. [inaudible] >> uncovering what macarthur saying? no, macarthur made a public himself. there is one episode where the ap picked up information from macarthur's headquarters about things that he was planning that were in violation of jcs rules. but generally speaking is not media investigation that uncovered this it was a carthaginian pretty openly. he is pretty flagrant about the sort of thing. >> to get troops are created to the u.s. just carry over the draft. >> that's a very interesting issue and i'm glad you raised it is a ticklish one. first they recalled all sorts of reservists. get paid get signed up for five years to get a monthly stipend go

eisenhower. where are the women patterns?the women pershing arms, the generals that we all want to see quoted in big, bold letters across the top of any chapter. i am proud to say those individuals are coming. most of those young people, as a matter of fact, for the last ten years, we've only recently had women integrated into the combat arms. this is important to know because those individuals that will become the future patterns in eisenhower's that we quote so prolifically, they're in their platoon commands or they're in their platoon leadership positions right now. they're in their company in battery commands. they are learning how to employ forces and they're developing experiences to a certain extent, even the battalion and brigade commanders, my counterpart is in aviation, air defense, sustainment, communications. those individuals are in those commands right now, and they are developing the experiences that will become crucial to them as they become division corps commanders of the future. the people that will actuall

it is the most significant investment in american infrastructure that eisenhower -- since eisenhower'snterstate highway system. pennsylvania loan has already received $5.2 billion just this year for hundreds of projects across the commonwealth. just announced another $2.5 billion to fix and upgrade pennsylvania's roads and bridges. there will be billions more for other projects. let me tell you why this matters. when i was here in january, i told the governor that we would help and we would help rebuild this bridge behind us as fast as we possibly could. that day, the governor signed an emergency order to let us move separate federal funding as quickly as possible to the project. had we waited for that money, it would have taken longer. the governor knew he could count on the new law to fund other projects to ensure the project he had already started for infrastructure would not be slowed down in the process. as a result, pennsylvania has been able to repair fern hollow bridge in less than a year. by christmas, we will be walking -- i will be coming back to walk over this sucker. my st

nixon was president and eisenhower stepping back so what happened? eisenhower and nixon and all the civil rights stuff, 4 or 5 million black people are registered to vote down south, my grandfather registered to vote in the 1960s, kicked him off the cotton plantation where he worked, the fbi came down told him not to go anywhere. eisenhower and dixon sent them down to say we passed this new law saying they cannot intimidate or hurt you anymore, you're going to vote. my grandfather voted he voted straight democrat. asked my father why? black folks did what white folks told them to do. even then. at the end of that campaign they found 8% of black people voted for the democrat party. people say all of these democrat switched to republicans, george wallace, those dramatics, wells barnett, although southern governors, strom thurmond, only one, the rest of them stated democrats forever and black people voted for them so when i start asking the question, goes back to stockholm syndrome, goes back to cognitive dissonance, it makes perfect sense, you've been

i think there is a question to be asked about how do we find and foster the next female eisenhower? how do we find someone to have the words to best fulfill the operation, tactics, techniques, all into a few meaningful words that were introduced a chapter? and i am happy to know that that work is going to be done well into the future. in the end i, think the team that sits at operations for united states army has added this incredibly important artifact to the museum. but most importantly, it's a representation for the institution itself. i think, honestly, it is simply a sign of where we will be going in the future. i would like to thank you for your time today and for your interest in listening to this. i know most people look at military doctrine as a kind of dry sort of topic. but the ability to know that that is growth occurring, especially in something that is so small and seeing some miniscule, but it is so incredibly important. i can't thank you, as the audience, and also the world one museum for the work and for the -- [applause] >> did you have a question for lieutenant co

eisenhower went their deliberately so he could witness first hand nazi crimes crimes. he found so hard to grasp that. he predicted what we have experienced in recent years. holocaust denial we are all profoundly indebted. to the richie boys for me it's a personal matter. but for our nation and the world it is a universal matter. of hope resilience and freedom it is now. my pleasure to read this letter from president biden it is it is my honor and this comes from the white house on his stationary. it is my honor to join the united states holocaust memorial museum in recognizing the extraordinary valor of the ritchie boys. a special military intelligence unit whose members contributed to turning the tide of history. and help save democracy and humanity during world war two. many of the richie boys were jewish refugees. escaped persecution and nazi germany and enlisted to serve in the united states armed forces to help america and our allies. win the war? many lost family members and loved ones to unspeakable horrors of the holocaust. and turned unfathomable pain into pur
