eisenhower again, eisenhower was so big. both parties wanted him to run. jimmy roosevelt, fdr's son wanted him to run as democrat. there was talk he could run with both parties and have different vice presidents. [laughing] he was beloved. so the sense eisenhower was almost oblivious in some ways to his effect on people and yet there was, some cases some deliberate cruelty. i think, and it started off in very bad way. i'm sure you all know the story of the fun crisis, which began with this story in the "new york post" saying nixon was supported by a group of millionaires, secret group of millionaires. there was a lot of pressure to get nixon off the ticket. eisenhower in fact wanted him off the ticket. long story short, nixon went on television, explained himself. revealed all of his finances. talked about a dog named checkers he wasn't going to give back and defied eisenhower's order to resign. said right to the republican national committee, basically circumventing eisenhower's right to remove him from the ticket. he won. from that moment on things were,

except there was still -- eisenhower still had a thumb on him because eisenhower -- needed eisenhower's support to run for president, and after eisenhower's heart aknack 1955, which -- heart attack in 1955, the first time people talked about nixon as an heir to the presidency. this was unusual. vice presidents were not considered heirs to the presidency. no one thought of john nance garner or harry truman. >> vice presidents did not have an office in the white house. >> guest: eisenhower did nixon a great favor trying to keep him informed. he attended cabinet meetings, when eisenhower was there he ran them. the same thing with the national security council, and eisenhower sent him abroad on trips insuring asia. and nixon became close to john foster dulles after eisenhower's heart attack, and dulles suggest nixon should visit africa. so tried to get mixon up to speed. i don't want someone who is just going to bang a gavel in the senate. >> host: you think that -- there are people who will argue that with the experience, the searing experience, of losing such a close election to john f. k

to eisenhower, that meant taking advantage of the automatic economic stabilizers. we asked richard gill how those stabilizers work. in 1954, when real gnp began to fall, federal tax revenues also began to fall simply because there was less taxable income. this meant more money for consumers. private spending did not have to fall as much as one might have expected. in terms of our diagram, this private spending curve, instead of going down, was flatter like this. instead of spiraling into a great depression, private spending was maintained at a relatively high level. the fall in national income was cushioned. if these stabilizers are so wonderful and worked so nicely in 14, why didn't they stop the great depression of the 1930s? because government was playing a much larger economic role than it had been 20 years earlier. this was what keynesians of the time were advocating. i, john fitzgerald kennedy, do solemnly swear... that you will faithfully execute the office of president. that i will faithfullexecute... the bright promise of that day blinded many. john kenned

eisenhower will lose. if you run away you will be scarred for the rest of your life than destroy yourself. he said okay. i will continue the campaign. [laughter] then the famous moment after he decided to address national audience to make his case he was preparing feverishly 48 hours completely exhausted then he said i don't think i can do it. pat said yes, you can. she grabbed his hand and took him up to the stage. while she sat there listening, she said herself she sat like of wax figure because she was so afraid she would lose control and the emotional and the camera would be on her. this is the rigid control she had to have is the beginning that people called -- started to call her plastic pat. nixon's respond her plastic is tougher than the toughest steel. he thought of her as a stronger partner and backbone and it meant so much to him through various prices and caracas when there were almost killed when the limousine was turned over the last year of the white house in into in retirement pay both were

and eisenhower had plenty of reason to be worried. i'm not sure i got all of your concerned with the french, but let me talk sort of generally about the vichy government. it is well-established today among the scholars that the vichy government was not simply obedient to germany, but actually persecuted jews in france on its own, first foreign jews but then french jews as well. and so the notion of deporting jews for what they nazi said was resettlement, was not a smooth sail, particularly if there were benefits to be obtained for the french government in the way of germans releasing french pows or fewer economic demands on france. it was not much in the area of concern of french officials to be worried about their jews. >> hello. many seem to believe that -- i'm sorry. seem to believe that would've had a major impact if the pope and/or fdr had spoken out regarding the holocaust, and am wondering if you agree with that proposition and what scenario you envision there. under what circumstances would that impact? >> so the question is,

eisenhower will lose. a few runaway you will be scarred for the rest of your life, and you will destroy yourself. he said, okay. i guess i'll continue to campaign. then there was a famous moment when, after he decided to address on national television the american audience to make his case, he had been preparing feverishly for 48 hours, completely exhausted, and just before he went up on stage at the theater to be filled, he said i don't think i can do it. what did pat say? yes, you can. she grabbed his hand and took him up to the stage. while she sat there listening, she said herself that she sat like a? like figure because she was so afraid that she would lose control and be emotional. she knew the camera was on her. said this was the beginning of what this rigid control that she had to have during this time, the beginning of what people started to call plastic pat. nixon's response was, her plastic is tougher than the toughest stupidity always thought of her as the stronger partner and his backbone, and

and eisenhower had plenty of reason to be worried. and so i'm not sure that i got all of your concern with the french. but let me talk about this government. it is well-established today among the scholars that the government was not simply obedient but actually persecuted , the first foreign jews and then the french jews as well. so the notion of deporting the jews for what the not safe that was resettlement was not a tough show. particularly if there are benefits to be obtained for the french government in the way that they are releasing french pows or fewer economic demand on france. so there was not much in the area of concern of french officials to be worried about the jews. >> many seem to believe. >> i'm sorry, i've got a very flustered. many seem to believe that it would have had a major impact if the pope or fdr had spoken out regarding the holocaust. i'm wondering whether you agree with that proposition. also what scenario you envision there as well. under what circus dances with that major impact occur? >> okay, so the ques

you put these two things together, and eisenhower had reason to be worried. nobody knew whether this was going to work, and nobody knew whether the americans could work well with the british. so there were all kinds of concerns there at that time that there were not by june 1944. of course, that was a very risky operation too. because there was at least the potential that the germans would be very well tug in and ready -- dug in and ready to mobilize tremendous forces against a small initial force. unfortunately, that didn't happen. but 1942 was kind of the first time, the baptism of fire, and eisenhower had plenty of reason to be worried. now, i'm not sure i got all of your concern with the french, but let me talk sort of generally about the i governmen. it is well established today among scholars that the government was not simply obedient to germany, but actually persecuted jews in france on its own. first, foreign jews, but then french jews as well. and so the notion of deporting jews for what the nazis said was resettlement was not a tough sell. particul

, called eisenhower and asked him to come to camp david to talk about what happened, and eisenhower asked sort of the critical war college question, he said did you have people in a room talking through the pros and cons? and kennedy sort of says, well, there was a meeting, but, blah, blah, blah, you know, sort of the dog ate my homework, mr. president kind of answer. and that moment where he reached out to his predecessor was also an acknowledgment that -- >> and modern presidents learn from this too. there was obama's decision to escalate the troop levels in afghanistan and that has been widely reported. >> rose: bob yates. >> yes all the meetings and all the contemplation, because he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of george bush. so each president is learning from what his predecessor did, both the good and the bad. >> or lyndon johnson and reported at the time he was reading accounts of the escalation of vietnam. >> why did johnson have such a hard time coming to grips with vietnam when he was saying and expressing all of his private doubts to people like richard russell? >> you

you also saw it with dwight eisenhower and with george h.w. bush, and i think that element you also see in president obama. i think he is not emotionally swept up in the personal consequences of every political battle. politicalread any profile, including the most recent, you see that temperament thing and patience and detachment. longs, and thinking in the term. i mean, right now, we are having a debate about a bunch of things, gun control, immigration, and he is someone who thinks in the long term. he wants to get legislation out of congress this year, that he might not. bybe he can do it administrative action. he is thinking it that way. >> he has the war in the water water, andhe everybody has to pass it off to someone else. in the beginning of a difficult second term, 2013 was a very tough year for the president, as he acknowledges. to, this jobting is a lot different than i thought it was, and all you can do is take the handoff and put youoar in the water while are there. is that the recognition? maybe people think there is more to do th

this year the 17th hole will be missing from the famous eisenhower tree which former president eisenhower kept trying to have cut down because his wayward drives kept hitting that tree. last week, you know, that ice storm hit augusta really hard. the eisenhower tree is history. why is this a big deal? >> well, i've covered several masters. i've even played augusta national, thank you very much. and i want to tell you this. when you're at augusta national, it's a magical place because of things. things such as grace greek. amen corner. magnolia drive. magnolia lane, i should say. that tree is very special. for those who aren't golfers out there, this is very much similar to, say, a tornado tearing down the empire state building. >> well, don't forget about that shredded barbecue sandwich? >> that's exactly right. >> that cheese thing. what's that cheese thing? i forget what it is. >> cheese sandwich. >> pimento cheese sandwich. >> it's cheap, too. kind of nasty as far as i'm concerned. but it's cheap. >> what? >> i didn't care for it. >> that's your last appearance on this show. that's my

you also saw it with dwight eisenhower and with george h.w. bush, and i think that element you also see in president obama. i think he is not emotionally swept up in the personal consequences of every political battle. >> if you read any political profile, including the most recent, you see that temperament thing and patience and detachment. >> yes, and thinking in the long term. i mean, right now, we are having a debate about a bunch of things, gun control, immigration, and he is someone who thinks in the long term. he wants to get legislation out of congress this year, that he might not. maybe he can do it by administrative action. he is thinking it that way. >> he has the oar in the water, and everybody has to pass it off to someone else. in the beginning of a difficult second term, 2013 was a very tough year for the president, as he acknowledges. he is now getting to, this job is a lot different than i thought it was, and all you can do is take the handoff and put the oar in the water while you are there. is that the recognition? maybe peo

general eisenhower at the outset didn't believe any special orders were necessary. he thought these men and women are part of the civil affairs division, and they had a job to do military structure will work and people will pay attention to them. but time and time against it wasn't working. the montments officers would post buildings out of bounds so american troops and british troops couldn't live in them, damage them, take things, and the montments -- the army officers and troupes ignored -- and troops ignored them. so by the time of november and december, when the operations clearly is failing, general eisenhower changes in my view, the face of the war, and he issues this directive on december 29, 1943, albeit six months after the war in italy has begun, but it says that it's the responsibility of all his commanders and troops to respect cultural treasures so much as war allows, and if it comes down to lives of our men or are object, the lives of the men count moore, however too often time this is used as an excuse of con screen that will not be tolerated. that i

you know ties are going to seem clear and i mean it was in our head of the waiting jobs when eisenhower you know what we were not these were when i say we had the unemployment when you see the unemployment rate dropping from thirty three to about thirty seven or so that is a result of private sector job creation far more than every result of government job to create the preceding three years herbert hoover's response to the great crash which was almost the same as roosevelt had been one of the well we know he was when he lets out a teleconference with the last time he threw not until his last nine months he basically sat back and says this you know now i was saying to liquidate everything i think it's worth engaging that but i don't think we should go back all the way to hoover we're talking about how presidents all basically govern the same way and i i believe that's true maybe you disagree but what reagan did was was a mentor of mine i was doing i know obama and he would and would be well served to do continued. you know some of reagan's greatest achievements actually were following c

is the person in charge of scientists went to eisenhower to ask what he meant, about the scientists he should be wary of and von brown was one of them. >> there were warnings about some of these people. some were scary, and it's clear that people knew that. it's amazing as we read through this. we have a social media question. >> there were interesting form. one is: he wants to know do you blame them as much as the ones that did the killing? >> certainly you wouldn't want to generalise and say all 1600 of the scientists that came here were hard core nazis. i look at 20 in particular for specific reason, and i take you through their individual narrative, and of the 20, it's very difficult to find one who isn't a nazi idea log. >> does the end justify the means? does accomplishment cancel out past crimes. you don't give the answer yourself. what do you think? >> i trust readers to come to that conclusion themselves, but personally i think not. science, good science, leads to good science. we have an amazing science program in the united states. i think we did not need to hire nazis to

we should say that general eisenhower and is convinced that went to school on the state they made. and by the time of the normandy landing, that same order similarly worded is issued two weeks before the normandy landing. >> we are way behind schedule, so i ask my colleagues to try to keep their answers short. but once the allies landed in france in june 1944 and allies increased the bombings of germany, the germans began hiding their own property in the property be looted primarily in southern germany. the salt mines, in monasteries, castles, air raid bunkers. and some germans at this point, especially in late 44, believed they would lose the war. the smartest thing to do is get to all the stolen loot to a safe haven outside of germany. and the united states government initiated something called operation safe haven, to basically bring the intelligence gathering capability of the treasury department, state department, foreign economic initiation to find out where these assets were going. in 1997-1998, ambassador eizenstat oversaw the production of two government reports about the

people though it was american and british led not done before, the historic orders by eisenhower to pave the way, millions of cultural objects were found found, they risk their lives during combat, is a noble up the story and some will leave no way if they want to know the details it is in my book. >> or your web site. >> the foundation has a tremendous amount of interracial in an end to biographies of the men and women from 13 nations. lot of photographs some are in rescuing to vinci but also the other box and information we could not include. >> to events both at the white house this past week. you were there for a screening? >> we were invited george clooney was nice enough to include me in their youngest officer who is 88 years old and was invited to a private screening at the white house with president obama who made a point to had time for a visit and it was a great opportunity for harry. one of the few people who has been to the white house twice under to sitting presidents and then the can we prepare for bush. >> the next call is from south carolina this is from martha? >> caller

it got its name when president dwight david eisenhower campaigned to have it removed in 1956 after it got in the way of one too many of his tee shots. the club refused. the leader of the free world learned his powers were limited, at least where it came to the golf club. but nature always bats last, as they say. >>> and space buffs are watching the night skies again tonight. this time it's an enormous asteroid roughly the size of three football fields. it will whiz by the planet earth. they are not certain by how much it will miss us, only that it will. telescope cameras are set up to record this fly had-by at 27,000 miles an hour. you can link to a live web cast on our website tonight. >>> when we come back, the story of an athlete that might just sum up the true spirit of the olympic games. >>> finally tonight, from here in sochi, the story of one athlete who really does define the olympic spirit. and we get his story tonight from nbc's kevin tibbles. >> reporter: he marched proudly and alone, carrying his tiny nation's uniquely shaped flag into the olympic stadium. and when it come

there really is no modern comparison, maybe eisenhower is the closest. but on republican side there really is no front runner. every four years, at least somebody that you think is going to be the guy for the republicans. just not clear at this point. >> right, there is a real battle within the party about who wants to be. there should be -- >> schieffer: that is very good point because republicans center traditionally it's been wait your turn. run couple of times or at least once. nobody gets it first time out. >> democrats are doing that now. as john suggested this does set up for a governor to emerge, if these governors who are looking at it aren't too damaged, to emerge as a front runner at some point. >> maybe six governors on republican side run. >> jeb bush. >> or rick perry from texas. >> he's had a run before. >> schieffer: my guess he's trying to run. >> certainly doing everything to allow himself to run whether he will actually do it i don't think we know at this point. he's spending this year putting himself in a position to make the decision

they were not necessarily seeing their reports, they were channeled through eisenhower's headquarters. they felt proud of the individual roles, but it has taken the passage of time to understand how extensive and pervasive this theft was, this industrial scale looting operation, and works of art today had such a dramatic increase in monetary value and not necessarily a positive development but quite real. i looked at anonymously with money. people talk about art as part of their portfolio and this is a more modern development. the monuments officers' played any central role in the survival of these things and i don't think until more recent times they have looked at it that way. very simply what they say is like world war ii veterans this is our responsibility, we did our job the best we could. liz: an e-mail, i worked for several years in art and history museums in this pacific northwest and one story i heard from several people in both fields was about a monument man who withheld a trove of prince which he later parlayed into a position for himself as a curator at regionally promine

eisenhower, barbara bush are first ladies who could have done more. clearly eleanor roosevelt stands out. abigail adams, dolly madison, really before the era of partisan politics took place as we know it today, but there is a small bias that we can perceive amongst these historians and political scientists. >> one other thing is that a lot of these first ladies on the top 10 list are within our lifetime beginning with jacqueline kennedy, hillary rosalynn, betty ford. is there another bias for contemporary first ladies? >> these first ladies are better known to all of our historians but they also had a much more wider and important role in the modern era than some of the early first ladies. still, it's north wotey to see some of the early first ladies, be a game adams, dolley madison clearly played important roles. martha washington makes the list. so we're not without the early first ladies, but many of the first ladies and some of the ones who fall in the bottom line during the civil war era with the notable exception of mary lincoln, are little know

did eisenhower and a horrible recession in fifty two fifty three what did he do the national highway system put tens of thousands of people to work building roads this is these numbers don't you you respect the numbers and you understand the when you say the national highway system created whatever so how many thousands of jobs this is that's a drop in the bucket to an economy that is what it was last month what we don't have right now is a robust economy creating jobs because we've laid off six hundred seven hundred thousand government employees that doesn't make up the numbers no it didn't that you know great six hundred seven hundred thousand were government millions we're talking you're you're absolutely right and six or seven hundred thousand people if if they had been added instead of subtracted bagmen added millions more are going to and we would and then it would be slanderous and then what yes absolutely if you had one and a half million more government employees there is if we go down the reagan road instead of the instead of the sequester road those people would then be ge
