Lew continues his series on the consequential administration of President Dwight David Eisenhower. He exposes Ike’s complicity in the Soviet kidnapping of at least 25,000 American troops at the end of WWII, and his willingness to leave at least one thousand American soldiers in the hands of the Red Chinese to get an informal end to the Korean War debacle.
Lew discusses the installation of the psychotic Ngo Diem by Ike and the internationalist community which resulted in the situation in South Vietnam going from bad to worse. Lew asks why Ike “didn’t know” Castro was a communist before he took power in Cuba, 90 miles off our shores, when average members of the John Birch Society had the receipts and very well knew it.
Ike continually gave the Soviets a pass on their tyrannical behavior, as was discussed in the Eisenhower (7) episode. He did this to continue the process of building world governmental institutions and agreements unabated, despite the spreading evil communism was manifesting across the globe. Lew discusses Bernard Baruch’s Atoms for Peace project, which Eisenhower stated could lead to UN control of all nuclear technology, and in the short term provided this technology to two dangerous nations who soon had the “bomb,” Israel and Pakistan.
Lew then pivots to Eisenhower’s little known (today) role in seeking to end strict immigration controls put in place in 1952 by 2/3s of the Senate over Truman’s veto. The end to such controls, essentially Eisenhower’s plan, was finally accomplished by the infamous 1965 act which led directly to the flood of third world immigration we are experiencing today.
The above contradicts Eisenhower’s reputation of being a major deporter of aliens, a result of Border Patrol operations in the Southwest known as “Operation Wetback.” What is not stated is that those actions were demanded by Mexican government who had sent thousands of troops to the border to prevent their agricultural workers from being poached by large agribusiness interests in the U.S.
While Eisenhower did not expand the government on the scale of FDR’s New Deal, he did add a new cabinet level department, Heath Education and Welfare (HEW). This was the first major thrust of the social engineers, many of them from Ike’s former perch at the Carnegie Endowment, to control public schools at the federal level.

00:00:00
Look around you.
00:00:03
Wrong rules the land while waiting justice sleeps.
00:00:06
I saw in the congress
00:00:08
and crossing the country,
00:00:10
campaigning with Ron Paul.
00:00:12
Tyranny
00:00:14
rising,
00:00:15
unspeakable
00:00:16
evil,
00:00:17
manifesting,
00:00:18
devils lying about our heritage who want to
00:00:21
enslave and replace us.
00:00:24
But we are Americans
00:00:26
with a manifest destiny
00:00:28
to bring the new Jerusalem
00:00:30
of endless
00:00:31
possibilities.
00:00:32
But first, this fight
00:00:35
for freedom.
00:00:36
Be a part of it. But don't delay
00:00:40
because this is the hour of decision.
00:00:45
Hour of decision with Lou Moore starts now.
00:00:48
Welcome to the one hundred and seventh episode
00:00:51
of hour of decision.
00:00:53
My name is Lou Moore, and today, we
00:00:55
are gonna continue our series
00:00:57
on Dwight David Eisenhower and continue
00:01:01
his foreign policy, his globalist
00:01:04
internationalist
00:01:05
foreign policy profile.
00:01:07
And if we have time, we're gonna get
00:01:09
into immigration
00:01:10
because everybody thinks
00:01:12
Dwight Eisenhower was a big deporter. Boy, he
00:01:14
was tough. He was so tough on protecting
00:01:17
our borders.
00:01:18
Folks, couldn't be farther from the truth.
00:01:22
But we'll see if we get that far
00:01:23
today, but we're not going to start there.
00:01:25
We're gonna start
00:01:27
with,
00:01:28
a reprise. We're gonna go back through a
00:01:30
little bit and talk about the Korean War.
00:01:33
We're gonna talk about,
00:01:35
Cuba
00:01:36
and Vietnam.
00:01:38
So the Korean War,
00:01:40
just to recap,
00:01:42
we got into it after the communist took
00:01:45
almost the entire Korean landmass
00:01:48
using material they got from The United States
00:01:50
as a result of the Yalta agreement.
00:01:54
MacArthur was sent in by president Truman. MacArthur
00:01:57
pushed them all the way up to the
00:01:58
Yalu River, the communist,
00:02:00
up to the border of China.
00:02:02
At which point, China entered the war with
00:02:05
massive numbers of troops,
00:02:07
poorly trained, but a whole lot of them.
00:02:10
And, MacArthur wanted to use tactical nuclear weapons
00:02:13
and other field weapons
00:02:16
and go all out and keep them from
00:02:18
crossing the river and go into China
00:02:21
and attack their bases and their material in
00:02:23
China. And, also, to let Lu Chiang Kai
00:02:26
shek, who Truman had basically been holding hostage
00:02:30
on the island of Formosa, but he still
00:02:32
had one to 2
00:02:33
crack
00:02:34
nationalist troops
00:02:36
that were with him on that island, and
00:02:37
they were just raring to go
00:02:40
to get another shot at Mao on the
00:02:42
mainland.
00:02:43
So, anyway, Truman,
00:02:45
did not want to do any of this.
00:02:48
The war was being prosecuted under the auspices
00:02:51
of the United Nations,
00:02:53
a terrible situation to begin with. So Truman
00:02:56
fired MacArthur
00:02:58
and then allowed the communist to push us
00:03:01
all the way back
00:03:02
to the 38 Parallel fairly close to where
00:03:05
the conflict began.
00:03:07
And, at that point, there was a stalemate
00:03:09
that was inherited by Dwight David Eisenhower.
00:03:13
And Eisenhower, of course, was not a liberation
00:03:16
man. As we talked about in the last
00:03:18
episode, he was not for
00:03:20
liberating the captive peoples despite the campaign messaging
00:03:23
that he allowed Richard Nixon
00:03:25
and John Foster Dulles to undertake
00:03:28
in the nineteen fifty two presidential
00:03:30
election.
00:03:31
Eisenhower was an internationalist,
00:03:33
a globalist,
00:03:34
and therefore, he was all for containment.
00:03:38
And so, all he wanted to do was
00:03:40
keep that line where it was and end
00:03:41
that war.
00:03:43
And he was pretty desperate to do it.
00:03:45
Now they put rumors out that they threatened
00:03:47
North Korea with nuclear weapons
00:03:51
if they weren't,
00:03:52
if they weren't willing to sign these armistice.
00:03:54
But my first question would be, why didn't
00:03:56
we use them when we were winning
00:03:58
and had the entire country and use them
00:04:00
to take down the Chinese Communist Party?
00:04:03
But, will be a question for another day.
00:04:05
At any rate, I don't believe it
00:04:07
because Eisenhower seemed pretty desperate
00:04:10
at the negotiating table to end this conflict.
00:04:13
And, of course, it's really
00:04:15
not technically ended even today,
00:04:17
but it was kind of a stalemate and
00:04:19
a and a, agreement of sorts that was
00:04:21
reached.
00:04:22
And, this is why we still have, what,
00:04:24
40 troops at the 38 Parallel in Korea.
00:04:28
They've been there ever since.
00:04:31
Eisenhower was at the negotiating table,
00:04:34
with the communist. But what,
00:04:36
the proof that Eisenhower was desperate
00:04:39
to just end this conflict and be done
00:04:41
with it
00:04:42
as opposed to winning it or being honorable
00:04:46
or protecting our own troops or honoring all
00:04:48
of our troops that died in the mud
00:04:51
and the cold and the
00:04:56
horrid conditions that were the nature and the
00:04:57
environment of the Korean War.
00:05:00
Eisenhower left 1
00:05:03
POWs
00:05:05
in North Korea,
00:05:06
but he has experience
00:05:09
with doing this,
00:05:11
and, I'm gonna talk about that more in
00:05:13
a minute. But first, for the viewing audience
00:05:15
and,
00:05:16
for those of you watching on Rumble,
00:05:19
I am showing in front of the camera
00:05:21
an examination
00:05:22
of US policy toward POWs
00:05:24
and MIAs, which was an official
00:05:27
report of the US Committee on Foreign Relations,
00:05:31
from the Republican staff of that committee
00:05:34
dated 05/23/1991.
00:05:37
Folks, this is one of the seminal documents,
00:05:40
one of the most important documents,
00:05:43
to refer to when you're talking about this
00:05:45
whole issue of POWs and MIAs. You've seen
00:05:49
the black flag,
00:05:51
flying. They still fly it. The politicians fly
00:05:53
it. Everybody flies it. Oh, we love the
00:05:55
POWs. We didn't do a damn thing to
00:05:57
get any of them out, folks. We didn't.
00:06:00
Our politicians
00:06:01
sold out the common people who give their
00:06:03
lives willing to get put on a uniform
00:06:05
and give their lives for this country.
00:06:07
We did not
00:06:09
take care of our people. Not in World
00:06:11
War two, not in Korea.
00:06:14
So,
00:06:16
sorry about that. That's a fact.
00:06:18
And it says
00:06:20
right here in this report on page
00:06:24
let's see. It's 4.5.
00:06:29
At the time of the re official reparation,
00:06:32
some of our
00:06:33
reparites stated that they had been informed by
00:06:36
the communist, that they, the communist,
00:06:38
were holding some
00:06:40
American flyers as political prisoners rather than as
00:06:43
prisoners
00:06:44
of war, and that these people would have
00:06:47
to be negotiated
00:06:48
for
00:06:49
through political or diplomatic
00:06:51
channels.
00:06:53
Due to the fact that we did not
00:06:54
recognize the red regime in China, no political
00:06:56
negotiations were instituted, although the state department did
00:06:59
have some exploratory discussions
00:07:02
with the British in an attempt
00:07:04
to get at the problem.
00:07:06
The situation was relatively dormant, when in late
00:07:10
nineteen, November
00:07:11
1954,
00:07:13
Peking Radio announced that 13 of these political
00:07:15
prisoners had been sentenced
00:07:18
for spying.
00:07:19
The announcement caused a public uproar in demand
00:07:22
from The US citizens, congressional leaders, and organizations
00:07:25
for
00:07:26
action
00:07:28
to affect
00:07:30
their release.
00:07:32
But these 11 political prisoners are not the
00:07:34
only US servicemen, the Chinese,
00:07:38
and is primarily was the Chinese held the
00:07:41
held after
00:07:42
the Korean War ended. The New York Times
00:07:45
reported that communist China this is the New
00:07:47
York Times, ladies and gentlemen.
00:07:50
Communist China is holding,
00:07:52
prisoners other than United States air force personnel
00:07:56
besides the 11 who were recently sentenced
00:07:58
on spying charges following their capture
00:08:01
during the Korean War.
00:08:03
This information was brought out of China by
00:08:05
squadron leader Andrew r McKenzie,
00:08:08
a Canadian flyer who was released today by
00:08:10
the Chinese at the Hong Kong border.
00:08:13
He reached freedom there two years to the
00:08:15
day after he was shot down and fell
00:08:18
into Chinese hands
00:08:19
in North Korea.
00:08:21
Held back from the Korean War prisoner exchange,
00:08:23
he was released by the Peking,
00:08:26
as they called the thin regime,
00:08:28
following a period of no negotiations through diplomatic
00:08:31
channels.
00:08:32
Wing commander Donald Skeen, his brother-in-law,
00:08:36
who was sent here from Canada to meet
00:08:38
him, said guardedly
00:08:40
at a press conference later that an
00:08:43
undisclosed number of American airmen
00:08:46
had been seen in the same camp with
00:08:48
squadron leader Mackenzie.
00:08:50
Wayne Komatterzewski said none of the Americans in
00:08:53
the camp was on the list of 11
00:08:55
whose sentencing was announced
00:08:57
by the Chinese 11/23/1954.
00:09:03
And,
00:09:04
this goes on folks with a lot of
00:09:06
detail, but bottom line
00:09:08
bottom line,
00:09:09
the New York Times
00:09:11
agreed that at least 1
00:09:14
of our prisoners of war
00:09:17
for of our you know, despite these excuses
00:09:19
and the fact it was China rather than
00:09:21
North Korea,
00:09:23
were never returned.
00:09:25
Were never
00:09:27
returned.
00:09:28
This is on the watch, ladies and gentlemen,
00:09:30
of Dwight
00:09:32
David Eisenhower, a supposed conservative
00:09:35
anti communist present president.
00:09:41
Terrible.
00:09:43
Absolutely
00:09:44
terrible.
00:09:46
After the official reparation efforts were completed, the
00:09:50
UN command found that it still had slightly
00:09:52
less than 1,
00:09:57
prisoners of war that were unaccounted for by
00:10:00
the communists.
00:10:01
And that's a quote from a confidential report
00:10:04
prepared by the defense advisory committee on prisoners
00:10:07
of war,
00:10:08
you know, in a long, report number CPOWDash3D1,
00:10:15
06/08/1955.
00:10:17
And, you know, this is not a footnote
00:10:18
show. I kinda skim over the top of
00:10:20
these issues. And, folks,
00:10:22
there is a ton of documentation
00:10:25
about a minimum
00:10:27
of 1
00:10:29
of our troops
00:10:31
knowingly left in the hands of these vicious
00:10:34
communists
00:10:36
at the end of the Korean War, and
00:10:37
that is all on.
00:10:39
Dwight
00:10:41
David Eisenhower,
00:10:42
peace without honor.
00:10:45
Peace without honor
00:10:47
at the end of the Korean War. And,
00:10:49
of course, a totally useless war. They ended
00:10:51
up right where they started.
00:10:53
A typical example in the first really deadly
00:10:56
bloody example
00:10:58
of the idiocy
00:11:00
of containment
00:11:02
as a weapon
00:11:03
against the communist world.
00:11:06
But Eisenhower
00:11:07
had experience
00:11:09
with this kind of betrayal because when he
00:11:11
was just following orders
00:11:14
in World War two,
00:11:17
on May 19,
00:11:20
four days before the start of the Hale
00:11:23
meeting,
00:11:24
a cable sign, and this is quoting now
00:11:26
from this report
00:11:27
on page three dash 19,
00:11:30
a cable signed by Eisenhower
00:11:32
at the allied supreme headquarters stated that,
00:11:35
this is a cable signed by Dwight David
00:11:38
Eisenhower,
00:11:40
the number of US prisoners
00:11:43
estimated
00:11:44
in Russian control.
00:11:46
Folks, these are supposed to be our allies.
00:11:50
The number of US prisoners
00:11:53
estimated
00:11:53
in Russian control,
00:11:57
this is in May
00:11:58
1945,
00:11:59
25.
00:12:04
25
00:12:07
American troops that Dwight
00:12:09
David
00:12:10
Eisenhower
00:12:11
as our supreme ally commander in Europe knowingly
00:12:16
left
00:12:17
to the butchery,
00:12:20
the torture,
00:12:21
the psychological
00:12:23
depredations,
00:12:25
the enslavement
00:12:27
that one found
00:12:29
behind the iron curtain
00:12:31
in May
00:12:33
1945.
00:12:36
So that's really the beginning, folks,
00:12:39
of this whole POWMIA
00:12:41
situation. Of course, we left troops in Vietnam.
00:12:43
We're just terrible.
00:12:45
The globalist don't give a damn about your
00:12:49
kids or about you if you're young.
00:12:51
If you're going off to fight their wars,
00:12:54
you're a piece of meat.
00:12:56
Okay?
00:12:57
That's it. That's it. They don't care.
00:13:00
And this is a pretty dang good example.
00:13:02
Once again, this was from
00:13:04
an examination of US policy toward POWMIAs.
00:13:09
The honorable Jesse Helms,
00:13:11
kind of at the helm at this one.
00:13:13
It was published 05/23/1991,
00:13:17
by the United States Senate.
00:13:21
So
00:13:23
there you go.
00:13:24
Korea.
00:13:25
Disgusting.
00:13:27
Absolutely disgusting
00:13:29
on the part
00:13:31
on the role played by Dwight,
00:13:34
David Eisenhower.
00:13:41
So I wanna return for a minute to
00:13:42
Cuba and then talk a little bit more
00:13:44
about Vietnam. So
00:13:47
I mentioned that, 1958,
00:13:49
Castro,
00:13:50
on the watch of our great anti communist
00:13:52
leader, Dwight Eisenhower,
00:13:55
captured Cuba, and the CIA said, we had
00:13:58
no idea
00:13:59
he was going to be a communist. We
00:14:01
thought he was the George Washington of Cuba
00:14:04
because that's what the New York Times told
00:14:06
us.
00:14:07
That's what the reporters from the Times that
00:14:09
would go up into the mountains and see
00:14:12
the romantic,
00:14:13
Fidel with his beard and Che Guevara
00:14:16
with his beard and their berets.
00:14:19
They're beautiful women hanging off of them.
00:14:22
They were just the most romantic figures and
00:14:25
such a wonderful thing. And all all this
00:14:27
is the backdrop of this is, folks,
00:14:30
the globalist had determined
00:14:32
even before World War two that there was
00:14:34
no more use,
00:14:36
to the French Empire and to the British
00:14:38
Empire and these other European empires. And I
00:14:40
touched on this last week.
00:14:43
I ended up doing a replay last week,
00:14:45
and I talked about colonialism and talked about
00:14:48
the fact that,
00:14:50
the empires were used by the globalists initially
00:14:54
because they were transmission bells for their ideas.
00:14:57
You know, the sun never set on the
00:14:58
British Empire. If you had control of the
00:15:00
British Empire,
00:15:01
you could exert influence
00:15:04
all over the globe,
00:15:05
which the Labour Party, the Fabian socialist in
00:15:08
Britain did.
00:15:09
But it it they it came to a
00:15:11
point that both in Britain and in The
00:15:13
United States,
00:15:14
they determined that these colonies were no longer
00:15:16
useful because they were in the way of,
00:15:21
third world rebellion, which was the communist plan,
00:15:24
the Marxist plan,
00:15:26
and in in the way of creating a
00:15:28
one big, beautiful, one world government
00:15:32
where there weren't any, powers in Western Europe
00:15:34
or in The United States
00:15:37
to interfere
00:15:39
with the,
00:15:40
prosecution
00:15:41
of a one world government.
00:15:44
So this is why if you listen to
00:15:46
my Roosevelt series,
00:15:48
Roosevelt
00:15:49
told Churchill on the ship when he met
00:15:51
him on the ship before we really jumped
00:15:53
in to help the Brits
00:15:55
in World War two
00:15:56
that he was gonna have to get rid
00:15:58
of his empire.
00:16:00
And Roosevelt was very adamant about this. That
00:16:02
was a communist line, and that was the
00:16:04
line by that time of the Fabian socialist
00:16:06
around the world.
00:16:08
And sure enough,
00:16:09
that started to happen after
00:16:11
World War two.
00:16:13
And,
00:16:14
that colors
00:16:16
the response to communist insurgencies
00:16:20
in places like Cuba. So Cuba was not
00:16:22
an American colony, but it was,
00:16:26
a fruit of America's victory in the Spanish
00:16:28
American war against Spain where we took
00:16:31
the colony of Puerto Rico. We took
00:16:34
the colony of The Philippines, and we made
00:16:36
Cuba
00:16:37
technically independent, but they were basically completely under
00:16:41
our wing, and there was a huge
00:16:43
influence of American businesses in Cuba, and it's
00:16:47
arguable how independent they actually were.
00:16:51
And so for that reason,
00:16:53
Castro,
00:16:54
was just all these people love Castro because
00:16:57
he was a lefty,
00:16:59
and, it was very clear that he was
00:17:01
going to take
00:17:03
Cuba out of the orbit of The United
00:17:05
States even though at the same time they
00:17:07
sold the public on the idea
00:17:10
that he was the George Washington of Cuba
00:17:12
when they knew better.
00:17:13
When he was in college, he belonged to
00:17:15
nothing but extreme left wing organizations. His closest
00:17:18
friends were members of the communist party back
00:17:20
then in Cuba in the nineteen forties.
00:17:23
In 1948,
00:17:24
he was arrested in Bogota, Colombia
00:17:26
as part of a communist uprising that failed
00:17:29
at that time
00:17:30
in Colombia.
00:17:32
I mean, how is it, folks,
00:17:34
that the CIA
00:17:37
and Dwight David Eisenhower did not know
00:17:40
In 1958,
00:17:41
that Castro was a communist when members of
00:17:44
the John Birch Society, like all of them,
00:17:47
did know
00:17:48
without any
00:17:49
classified information, without any intelligence
00:17:52
gathering.
00:17:53
Just from the the most cursory view of
00:17:55
the public record,
00:17:57
it was damn obvious.
00:17:59
The man was a communist.
00:18:01
And, of course, it quickly became revealed
00:18:05
once he took power. And if he wouldn't
00:18:06
have been so quick to grab all of
00:18:08
the corporate goodies,
00:18:10
he probably would have got along okay with
00:18:13
our corporate masters, but he went a little
00:18:15
too far. And so as soon we had
00:18:16
the plotting of the Bay of Pigs, and
00:18:17
I won't get into that, that was on
00:18:19
Kennedy's watch,
00:18:21
disaster. But,
00:18:22
anyway
00:18:24
so Eisenhower, terrible.
00:18:26
Cuba, terrible.
00:18:27
And a,
00:18:29
a permanent
00:18:31
a permanent result of this and why it's
00:18:33
significant and why all this history is significant.
00:18:36
Everything back then leads to something today, folks.
00:18:39
And Cuba
00:18:40
has been,
00:18:42
the,
00:18:44
the go to group, both intelligence wise and
00:18:47
for soldiers
00:18:48
all over this world for the communist conspiracy.
00:18:50
It's had a tremendous impact
00:18:53
that Cuba went communist, and now Trump's choking
00:18:56
them off. They may not be communist very
00:18:58
much longer. We're gonna have to see.
00:19:00
Trump is really going after Cuba at this
00:19:02
point, but I won't digress into
00:19:04
what he's doing today. But, I mean, if
00:19:06
you look at Angola or Mozambique or you
00:19:09
looked
00:19:10
a few weeks ago at Venezuela, who do
00:19:12
you who is guarding,
00:19:13
Maduro? Who's Cubans? All Cubans.
00:19:16
And so, you know, they've been involved with
00:19:17
the drug trade. They've been involved with the
00:19:19
Medellin Cartel and these cartels.
00:19:21
All of this stuff, Cuba, Cuba, Cuba, all
00:19:24
over it. Anything against America, you know, they're
00:19:27
uprising Nicaragua, they're uprising in El Salvador
00:19:30
of years ago, Cuba, all over it. So
00:19:33
a huge impact from the missteps
00:19:36
and the disastrous policy, and,
00:19:40
I won't get into the
00:19:44
Dwight David Eisenhower
00:19:46
toward Cuba.
00:19:47
Terrible.
00:19:48
And not a containment.
00:19:50
A loss. Big loss,
00:19:52
you know, in 1958
00:19:54
on his watch.
00:19:56
So Vietnam,
00:19:57
even a much more I mean, much more
00:20:00
consequence
00:20:01
than Cuba because of the whole societal
00:20:04
uproar in the nineteen sixties.
00:20:06
They hold,
00:20:08
assault on America's identity,
00:20:11
America's legitimacy,
00:20:13
the fact that we had put so many
00:20:16
of our sons and daughters in harm's way
00:20:19
at one time over 500
00:20:22
in Vietnam. And, of course, this came later,
00:20:25
not on Eisenhower's watch. It came later. But
00:20:27
his moves initially,
00:20:30
folks,
00:20:31
have everything to do with all of the
00:20:33
disasters
00:20:34
that followed. So I said in the last
00:20:36
episode,
00:20:38
like in Korea, there was a big summit,
00:20:40
and it was called by John Foster Dulles,
00:20:43
mister internationalist himself,
00:20:46
parading occasionally as a right wing extremist, but,
00:20:48
in fact, a left wing internationalist, the secretary
00:20:51
of state for Eisenhower.
00:20:53
Dulles called this big international conference,
00:20:56
and the result of it was Vietnam
00:20:59
was partitioned
00:21:00
into half communist under Ho Chi Minh
00:21:03
and half,
00:21:04
supposedly non communist.
00:21:07
And, that was South Vietnam.
00:21:09
And, of course, before that, we refused aid
00:21:12
to the French
00:21:14
colonialists
00:21:16
who were fighting the communist. Again,
00:21:19
the dictum of the hour, we are against
00:21:21
colonialism. We're just against colonialism no matter what
00:21:24
the outcome is. Even
00:21:26
though the French were invited into Vietnam,
00:21:30
even though
00:21:31
the monarchy of Vietnam and that's the other
00:21:34
thing. We were totally against all these monarchies
00:21:36
even though they were a source of spirituality
00:21:39
for the Asian people, a source of stability,
00:21:41
and a place that we could have worked
00:21:43
with these people to keep the communist out.
00:21:46
You know, they were they were opposed to
00:21:48
the communist, but no. No. No. And they
00:21:50
were working with the French.
00:21:52
And, but we would not support the French.
00:21:55
So then we have this partition, and so
00:21:57
then there's this blank slate of South Vietnam.
00:22:00
What kind of a country will it be?
00:22:02
How will it respond to the challenge of
00:22:04
communism?
00:22:05
Well, they didn't respond very well, folks,
00:22:07
because they were being run,
00:22:10
essentially, by whatever policy was developed at the
00:22:13
Council on Foreign Relations and, of course, by
00:22:16
the Eisenhower
00:22:17
administration.
00:22:19
So there were 20 or 25
00:22:22
anti
00:22:23
communist militias
00:22:25
in South Vietnam,
00:22:26
and many of them were pro French,
00:22:29
some were Catholic,
00:22:30
some were Buddhist,
00:22:31
some were not so
00:22:33
pro French, but they were anti communist, but
00:22:35
they all were willing to unify around the
00:22:39
monarch whose name was Bao Dai.
00:22:42
At that time, he'd be at nominate. He
00:22:43
wasn't the greatest guy in the world. I'm
00:22:45
not trying to say that.
00:22:47
But, he was a a, you know, you
00:22:49
know, that's what monarchs generally are above anything
00:22:52
else, a unifying figure. A lot of times
00:22:53
they're tied into the religion of the people,
00:22:56
the cultural,
00:22:58
stories of the people, etcetera, etcetera. Anyway,
00:23:02
all of these militias
00:23:04
were willing to fight the communist
00:23:08
under the leadership of Bao Dai. But no.
00:23:10
No. No.
00:23:11
Because,
00:23:12
you know, we were we had to we
00:23:14
demands we demanded
00:23:17
only individuals who were anti colonialist
00:23:21
and anti monarchist.
00:23:23
And, and then to find somebody like that
00:23:25
that's not a communist is pretty tough, but
00:23:27
they did find one by name of, Nigot
00:23:29
Diem,
00:23:31
who had a family,
00:23:33
whose brother was an internationalist
00:23:35
labor leader, a socialist,
00:23:38
whose, sister-in-law,
00:23:41
ran a fascist type militia
00:23:43
in Vietnam.
00:23:45
And we put all our chips
00:23:48
on this guy.
00:23:49
He was anti colonialist,
00:23:52
but he was a Catholic.
00:23:54
The country is overwhelmingly
00:23:55
Buddhist.
00:23:57
He had no
00:23:58
love of the traditions of the country,
00:24:01
definitely not colonialism,
00:24:02
but not of the traditional,
00:24:04
nature of Vietnam either.
00:24:07
And he was a looter,
00:24:10
and he rigged elections.
00:24:13
And he put people
00:24:15
basically imprisoned them in their rural hamlets.
00:24:18
And it was a total
00:24:21
disaster. Vietnam, a total disaster. And I go
00:24:24
into this in great detail
00:24:26
in my Vietnam episode. I don't have the
00:24:28
number in front of me, but if you
00:24:29
go back through my archive, it's in the
00:24:31
twenties, I think.
00:24:33
I have an episode all about Vietnam. It's
00:24:36
almost two hours long, folks. It tells this
00:24:38
whole story and who's right in the middle
00:24:39
of it, Dwight David Eisenhower.
00:24:42
You're listening to Hour of Decision on Liberty
00:24:44
News Radio, and we'll be right back after
00:24:46
the news. Welcome back to Hour of Decision.
00:24:50
My name is Lou Moore. We are on
00:24:52
the one hundred and seventh episode of Hour
00:24:54
of Decision, the eighth
00:24:56
in a series of episodes talking about the
00:24:59
presidency
00:25:00
of Dwight
00:25:01
David Eisenhower. And today, we're talking about the
00:25:03
disasters,
00:25:05
of eyes of Eisenhower foreign policy in terms
00:25:08
of the end of the Korean War, in
00:25:10
terms of Cuba.
00:25:12
And now we've been talking about Vietnam. I'm
00:25:14
talking about
00:25:16
Diem,
00:25:16
the president of Vietnam, who was backed all
00:25:19
the way
00:25:20
by the Council of Foreign Relations crowd
00:25:23
by all the powers that be. They gave
00:25:25
him a ticker tape parade in New York,
00:25:27
and he
00:25:28
met with the CFR
00:25:30
people, the leadership,
00:25:31
with the Rockefellers.
00:25:33
And then he had a presidential
00:25:35
reception when he came to The United States
00:25:37
in 1957.
00:25:39
But, Diem,
00:25:41
was busy doing two things there in the
00:25:43
late nineteen fifties.
00:25:45
First of all,
00:25:47
he was rounding up all of the anti
00:25:50
communist
00:25:51
in Vietnam that were not in South Vietnam
00:25:54
that were not supporting him,
00:25:56
which was most of them. And all of
00:25:58
these many,
00:26:00
battle hardened, defective militias
00:26:02
around the country that were loyal to, the
00:26:05
French, who had been loyal to,
00:26:08
Buddhist sects, who'd been loyal to, Bao Dai,
00:26:11
the monarch,
00:26:12
all of these rounded up by Diem. And
00:26:15
at the same time, he also,
00:26:16
was involved with secret negotiations. They didn't end
00:26:19
up to be successful,
00:26:21
but he was negotiating
00:26:22
secretly with Ho Chi Minh during this time.
00:26:25
I mean, this guy was a complete dirtbag,
00:26:27
but he got the full
00:26:29
full support
00:26:31
of the internationalist
00:26:33
in the mid, nineteen fifties who saw Vietnam
00:26:35
as kind of a kind of a big
00:26:37
experimental area, South Vietnam.
00:26:40
You know, all the foundations went in there,
00:26:42
and the CIA was in there doing all
00:26:44
kind of
00:26:45
psychological
00:26:46
experiments, and they were working out there
00:26:49
in the bush, with their strategic hamlet program,
00:26:52
which essentially just turned all these villages
00:26:55
into prisons. They lock them in there at
00:26:57
night,
00:26:58
and they thought this was gonna be an
00:27:00
effective way to defeat the communist.
00:27:02
So, you know, the the Diem has got
00:27:05
basically concentration camps full of anti communist.
00:27:08
He's got people fleeing
00:27:11
the rural areas in huge numbers,
00:27:14
because of the strategic Hamlet program or they're
00:27:16
just going over to the
00:27:18
National Liberation Front,
00:27:20
which was technically founded in 1960,
00:27:23
which we,
00:27:24
which became known and became known on American
00:27:26
TV for those of us who grew up
00:27:28
with this war as the Viet Cong.
00:27:32
So total disaster with Diem. I won't go
00:27:35
into his whole story
00:27:36
because it,
00:27:38
the Eisenhower administration ends
00:27:40
before the story plays out, but, you know,
00:27:43
again,
00:27:44
every part of this
00:27:46
is wrong.
00:27:47
A little bit of, a little bit of
00:27:49
help to the French, and they could have
00:27:51
taken out Ho Chi Minh who was a
00:27:54
Moscow trained,
00:27:57
communist
00:27:58
who was a Stalinist.
00:27:59
So like Stalin, he used nationalist rhetoric, and
00:28:03
you always hear, oh, no.
00:28:05
Ho Chi Minh, he was,
00:28:06
Ho Chi Minh, he was still,
00:28:08
I mean, he was just a nationalist. He
00:28:10
was just standing up for his people.
00:28:12
No. He wasn't, folks. He was a Marxist
00:28:14
Leninist, trained in Moscow, and loved
00:28:17
Joseph Stalin and learned from Stalin.
00:28:20
That unlike Trotsky and unlike Lenin,
00:28:23
Stalin used nationalist messaging,
00:28:26
nationalist rhetoric as did Mao,
00:28:28
as do the communist Chinese today. I mean,
00:28:31
they're arguably more national socialist,
00:28:35
small n, small s,
00:28:37
than than than they are in some ways
00:28:39
international communist, but yet they are. I mean,
00:28:42
that's their goal.
00:28:43
Anyway,
00:28:45
a terrible situation. And then we armed Ho
00:28:47
Chi Minh, of course, but I don't wanna
00:28:48
digress into the whole whole thing with Vietnam.
00:28:51
He he really was empowered by us,
00:28:54
by communist,
00:28:56
leaning, if not communist officials in our OSS
00:29:00
in World War two that armed him to
00:29:02
the teeth and told people in Washington he
00:29:04
was the greatest thing in the world.
00:29:07
And then, and then later,
00:29:09
we backed the guy that disarms all the
00:29:11
true anti communist in the country
00:29:13
and loots the hell out of the country.
00:29:16
Him and his family, the Diem family,
00:29:18
were looting the country
00:29:20
and,
00:29:21
stripping it of its resources and shipping a
00:29:23
lot of it overseas.
00:29:26
And, like I said, putting their opponents in
00:29:28
concentration camps. So this is who Eisenhower back,
00:29:30
folks.
00:29:31
And,
00:29:33
I'll just, tag on at the end.
00:29:35
This also doesn't completely blow up until you
00:29:37
get into the Kennedy administration, but
00:29:40
Eisenhower had a meeting
00:29:43
with Kennedy or, his people, top people, Kennedy's
00:29:46
top people in the transition
00:29:48
after Kennedy had won the election in 1960,
00:29:51
and this is I think it was around
00:29:52
Christmas time in 1960. They had this meeting
00:29:55
where Ike says,
00:29:56
sorry about it, JFK, but, handing you Laos
00:29:59
here, which is the one of the other
00:30:02
nations that were part of French Indochina that,
00:30:05
adjoining Vietnam.
00:30:07
And, the communist are about ready to take
00:30:09
over Laos.
00:30:10
So, you you know, bottom line,
00:30:13
Eisenhower did not do a good job of
00:30:16
any kind
00:30:17
containing communism
00:30:19
on his watch.
00:30:20
Eisenhower was a complete advocate of internationalism,
00:30:24
a complete advocate of anti colonialism,
00:30:27
and a a complete advocate of anti monarchism,
00:30:31
which were disastrous beliefs to have if you
00:30:34
were trying to stop
00:30:35
the onslaught
00:30:37
of communist in the third world. As I
00:30:39
said, in the episode I reran last week,
00:30:41
episode 79
00:30:43
about colonialism,
00:30:45
I talk about all that stuff.
00:30:48
Anyhow,
00:30:49
so,
00:30:51
and Eisenhower and and, you know, and why
00:30:53
was he so solicitous to the Russians constantly?
00:30:55
I I mean, why you know, I talked
00:30:57
about in the last Eisenhower episode,
00:31:00
how he gave him a pass in Hungary,
00:31:02
gave him a pass in Poland, gave him
00:31:04
the pass in East Germany,
00:31:06
gave him a pass when there was a
00:31:07
rebellion within the Soviet Union,
00:31:10
never in any way helped them, wanted to
00:31:12
make sure they knew that we were not
00:31:14
trying to help these anti communist rebels
00:31:18
in any way.
00:31:20
And why was he doing this? Because he
00:31:22
was an internationalist, and he was hell bent
00:31:25
on continuing to build these world institutions
00:31:28
even though half the world
00:31:30
is now in the midst of a satanic
00:31:32
conspiracy
00:31:34
called communism.
00:31:36
And, but he continued,
00:31:39
the tradition of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I'm starting
00:31:42
with Wilson, but with, Roosevelt,
00:31:45
with Truman,
00:31:47
trying to build these institutions and build the
00:31:50
Soviet Union and now communist China,
00:31:53
eventually, into these institutions.
00:31:58
And so, one of, one of Ike's programs,
00:32:01
Atoms for Peace,
00:32:03
one that that he was kinda pushed into
00:32:05
by one of his sponsors, which I I'm
00:32:07
not gonna get into this in this
00:32:09
series. But, one of those guys behind the
00:32:11
scenes, you know, I I talk about guys
00:32:14
behind the scenes with FDR. One of them
00:32:15
was Bernard Baruch,
00:32:18
a Jewish, financier,
00:32:20
from New York whose father was in the
00:32:22
Ku Klux Klan. Kind of interesting. But, anyway,
00:32:25
but Baruch
00:32:27
was also
00:32:29
a guy behind the curtain with Eisenhower.
00:32:32
And his big project he wanted Eisenhower to
00:32:34
undertake was atoms for peace.
00:32:37
Oh, we gotta spread atomic energy all over
00:32:40
the world for peace, and we have to
00:32:42
put add atomic
00:32:44
energy, atomic power, and eventually
00:32:47
atomic weapons
00:32:49
all under the control
00:32:50
of the United Nations. This is the thinking
00:32:53
of Robert Oppenheimer.
00:32:54
It's even expressed a little bit in that,
00:32:57
terrible propaganda movie that was out about Robert
00:33:00
Oppenheimer
00:33:01
a couple of years ago.
00:33:03
But,
00:33:04
one of the immediate effects of this atoms
00:33:07
for peace program or would become effects
00:33:10
is it proliferated
00:33:11
nuclear materials
00:33:14
into places like Pakistan
00:33:16
and Israel.
00:33:17
And guess what happened?
00:33:19
Both Israel
00:33:20
and Pakistan,
00:33:22
during that original atoms for peace
00:33:25
proposal and then the material and the infrastructure
00:33:28
that was put in place,
00:33:30
we paid for a lot of it. UN,
00:33:33
under the leadership of the UN,
00:33:36
they developed atomic arsenals.
00:33:38
And that's why Pakistan people a lot of
00:33:40
people don't realize Pakistan's got a bunch of
00:33:41
nukes.
00:33:43
And Israel's probably got 200 of them. And
00:33:46
there's more to the story, particularly with Israel.
00:33:48
Won't get into that right now. I've talked
00:33:50
about it some
00:33:52
in my JFK
00:33:54
episodes.
00:33:55
But, anyway,
00:33:56
so this is just an example.
00:33:59
Eisenhower was still pushing the GATT agreement, the
00:34:02
general agreement on tariffs and trade
00:34:05
that led to the WTO.
00:34:07
That led to China eventually getting,
00:34:11
most favored native nation status on a permanent
00:34:14
basis for trade,
00:34:16
which looted our industry and hollowed it out
00:34:19
and made us very, very dependent on a
00:34:22
very dangerous foe,
00:34:24
one we should have taken out at the
00:34:26
end of the Korean
00:34:27
and made that the end of the Korean
00:34:29
conflict,
00:34:30
and not a sellout where we left,
00:34:33
POWs
00:34:34
and we left a festering sore in North
00:34:37
Korea.
00:34:38
Anyway,
00:34:41
so Eisenhower all about these agreements, you know,
00:34:43
he had Khrushchev over here. He wanted to
00:34:45
go over to Russia.
00:34:47
Just wanna keep building these agreements.
00:34:49
The communist have never kept an agreement, folks.
00:34:52
They've never kept an agreement
00:34:55
ever,
00:34:56
ever.
00:34:58
It is stupidity
00:35:00
stupidity and idiocy.
00:35:03
Now it's not idiocy to stall them and
00:35:05
delay them with negotiations
00:35:07
if it's benefiting us,
00:35:10
But to make sacrifices and to give up
00:35:12
things like prisoners of war,
00:35:14
to make them happy,
00:35:16
to just to get an agreement with them,
00:35:19
terrible.
00:35:21
Stupid, but not stupid.
00:35:23
I mean, it depends on what your final
00:35:25
goal is.
00:35:27
Anyway,
00:35:28
Eisenhower,
00:35:29
big problem. So let's talk about immigration.
00:35:33
So,
00:35:34
before Eisenhower
00:35:36
was brought into office,
00:35:38
there was a major immigration,
00:35:40
piece of legislation
00:35:43
that was passed in July
00:35:44
1952.
00:35:46
It was called the mare McCarran Walter Act.
00:35:50
It was passed over president Truman's veto
00:35:54
on in July of, July 24, I guess.
00:35:58
Pioneer day for Utahns.
00:35:59
In 1952,
00:36:01
it was the first codification
00:36:03
of our complex
00:36:05
immigration
00:36:05
and naturalization
00:36:07
laws
00:36:08
ever made. I'm now quoting from an article
00:36:11
in the American Mercury, and, these pages are
00:36:13
about ready to come apart here because this
00:36:16
this is a 1957
00:36:20
article in a 1957
00:36:22
magazine I'm reading from.
00:36:25
The new attack
00:36:29
on our immigration act, which was the,
00:36:32
McCarran Walter Act. So it took two thirds
00:36:35
of the senate to override Truman's veto to
00:36:37
make it
00:36:38
law. It was the first of our complex
00:36:40
immigration and naturalization laws,
00:36:43
a codification of that complexity ever made.
00:36:46
It was based on four and one half
00:36:48
years of research, hearings, investigations,
00:36:51
and debate.
00:36:53
It was supported by such groups as the
00:36:54
American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
00:36:57
and 100
00:36:59
other patriotic
00:37:01
organizations.
00:37:02
Obviously, it had huge support to get two
00:37:04
thirds of the senate to override a presidential
00:37:07
veto to make it the law.
00:37:10
The departments of state and the justice both
00:37:12
endorsed the bill as finally written.
00:37:15
So did the Central Intelligence
00:37:17
Agency.
00:37:18
The head of the immigration naturalization
00:37:20
service called it, quote, a desirable revision of
00:37:23
our immigration
00:37:24
and naturalization
00:37:26
laws.
00:37:27
No government agency opposed it.
00:37:29
It was and is still opposed though by
00:37:31
the communist party
00:37:33
and all of its many front organizations
00:37:35
and sympathetic
00:37:37
politicians
00:37:38
by former senator Herbert Lehman
00:37:40
and former congressman
00:37:42
Emanuel Seller
00:37:43
and other, left
00:37:45
wing politicians.
00:37:49
So, you know and and what did it
00:37:51
do? Oops. Boy, I am losing this pen.
00:37:53
I did should not have put this on
00:37:55
here. That was a mistake. Okay.
00:37:59
Pages are literally falling apart on this thing,
00:38:01
folks.
00:38:02
So what did this act do?
00:38:06
It re it reduced it restricted the annual
00:38:09
amount of immigration to the country.
00:38:12
It destroyed
00:38:13
it, created a national origin quota
00:38:17
so people could come into the country on
00:38:19
the basis of the, ethnic and racial balance
00:38:22
of the country at that time.
00:38:25
And it,
00:38:26
had
00:38:27
very, very strict
00:38:29
security screening
00:38:31
to prevent,
00:38:33
communist from coming into the country.
00:38:36
There was a big problem at the end
00:38:37
of World War two. A lot of left
00:38:40
wingers, a lot of them of Jewish ancestry,
00:38:42
but people of other ancestry as well
00:38:44
came in here that were undesirable
00:38:47
as war refugees.
00:38:49
In fact, Pat McCarron estimated 5
00:38:53
illegal aliens were in the country when Eisenhower
00:38:56
became president.
00:38:57
So why am I talking about this act
00:38:59
right now? It's because in his,
00:39:01
inaugural,
00:39:03
address,
00:39:05
and and and early addresses, Eisenhower made it
00:39:08
very clear, he wanted this act repealed.
00:39:11
He wanted an annual increase of immigration to
00:39:14
1
00:39:16
people a year. This is Dwight David Eisenhower.
00:39:19
He wanted to destroy the national origins quota,
00:39:22
which gears the cultural pattern of immigration to
00:39:25
the cultural pattern of our country
00:39:28
for maximum
00:39:29
assimilation,
00:39:31
and he wanted to emasculate
00:39:33
the security screening and deportation
00:39:36
provisions of the law.
00:39:38
And he used the same guy in the
00:39:40
US Senate he used to go after Joe
00:39:42
McCarthy,
00:39:43
a terrible individual from the state of Utah
00:39:46
named Arthur Watkins,
00:39:47
to promote
00:39:48
this repeal of the McCarran Act.
00:39:52
Ike was all about this.
00:39:54
And so
00:39:55
he he was not, folks,
00:39:57
the deporter in chief. But you're gonna say,
00:40:00
oh, wait a minute. I just I just
00:40:02
saw this on Fox News the other day.
00:40:05
Eisenhower deported 2
00:40:08
people from the Southern Border of The United
00:40:10
States.
00:40:11
And, wow, that was a tremendous deportation, and
00:40:14
how come Trump can't be
00:40:16
like Eisenhower?
00:40:17
You know, we're hearing this every day.
00:40:20
And so let's talk about what happened in
00:40:22
operation
00:40:23
wetback,
00:40:24
which now would be considered probably a racial
00:40:26
slur. I'm sorry. That was what they called
00:40:28
it
00:40:29
in 1954.
00:40:31
And,
00:40:33
what brought on
00:40:35
Eisenhower
00:40:35
deporting
00:40:36
2
00:40:37
Mexicans
00:40:39
from the Southwest Of The United States
00:40:41
that were not American citizens. Well, I'll tell
00:40:43
you what did.
00:40:45
Mexico
00:40:46
demanded it.
00:40:48
The nation Eisenhower
00:40:49
dithered
00:40:51
for well over a year with a larger
00:40:53
and larger and larger accumulation
00:40:55
of aliens
00:40:57
in the Southwest Of The United States
00:41:00
and didn't do anything about it.
00:41:03
But then Mexico
00:41:05
demanded the
00:41:07
this flow of labor stop in, to The
00:41:10
US because at that time,
00:41:12
the agribusiness of Mexico considered that they were
00:41:15
competing
00:41:17
with the agribusiness in California and in the
00:41:19
Southwest
00:41:20
for labor,
00:41:21
and they did not want their labor
00:41:24
coming up to The United States and harvesting
00:41:26
our crops when they could be in Mexico
00:41:28
harvesting
00:41:30
their crops.
00:41:32
We had a,
00:41:34
a legal guest worker program called the Bracero
00:41:37
program,
00:41:38
but,
00:41:40
it was bureaucratic,
00:41:42
and it,
00:41:43
a lot of the farmers didn't like it.
00:41:46
And so they were all for bringing people
00:41:48
across as illegals
00:41:50
back then, but Mexico didn't like it. Mexico
00:41:54
sent 5
00:41:55
troops to the border
00:41:58
to keep more
00:42:00
Mexicans from leaving the country. And and this
00:42:02
is not something, you know, like Trump demanded
00:42:04
Mexico bring troops up to the border to
00:42:06
stop these migrants.
00:42:07
This is not something Eisenhower demanded.
00:42:10
They were demanding that Eisenhower do something about
00:42:13
this problem, and they sent their troops to
00:42:15
the border to try to stop it on
00:42:16
their side.
00:42:18
This was strictly a competition between US and
00:42:21
Mexican agribusiness.
00:42:23
So looking at Ike's operation wetback, there were
00:42:26
only 250
00:42:28
removals
00:42:29
credited to the program,
00:42:31
only 750
00:42:32
agents involved, far less, and there was in
00:42:34
Minneapolis.
00:42:36
But the Mexican government still was unhappy because
00:42:38
the amount of illegal aliens was actually ramping
00:42:41
up.
00:42:42
Truman had removed 1
00:42:44
aliens the last two years of his administration.
00:42:47
You never hear that. Ike raised it to
00:42:50
2 in the first couple of years, but
00:42:53
not a lot of it was to the
00:42:54
credit of this operation wetback, this great operation
00:42:57
we hear about all the time. And then
00:42:59
he drops deportations to practically nothing the last
00:43:03
five years of its administration
00:43:05
with, again, illegal a, illegal immigration
00:43:09
rising.
00:43:10
So you have, on one hand,
00:43:12
millions of illegal aliens in the country, and
00:43:14
Eisenhower wants to bring more aliens into the
00:43:17
country.
00:43:18
You have an act that passed with over
00:43:20
two thirds of the support of the senate
00:43:22
just before Eisenhower took office
00:43:24
to make sure that communist don't come into
00:43:26
the country, to make sure that the ethnic
00:43:28
balance in this country I mean, they didn't,
00:43:30
prevent Asians from coming in. They didn't prevent
00:43:33
any one people from coming in. They just
00:43:35
had to be in a balance
00:43:37
that that was struck in this country at
00:43:39
that time
00:43:41
so they could assimilate.
00:43:43
That was the idea.
00:43:45
Not millions and millions and millions and millions
00:43:47
of people from the third world bringing the
00:43:49
third world to our country and making our
00:43:51
country the third world.
00:43:52
But Eisenhower is the first one that pushed
00:43:55
back heavily against this. And just like he
00:43:58
did in the Bricker Amendment, just like he
00:44:00
did initially with Joe McCarthy, just like he
00:44:02
did with the Reese Committee,
00:44:04
he's in the weeds.
00:44:06
He's letting other people do his work, but
00:44:08
he is pushing
00:44:10
it. And in the American Mercury
00:44:12
magazine in 1957
00:44:14
and all kinds of publications,
00:44:17
people are exposing the fact that it's the
00:44:19
White House
00:44:20
that is pushing
00:44:23
to open up immigration
00:44:24
wide open, which they don't they don't ever
00:44:26
do it. It's not successful
00:44:28
until the immigration act of 1965.
00:44:31
And Emanuel Seller, who was mentioned in this
00:44:33
article I was just reading,
00:44:35
was it was one of the prime was
00:44:37
was the prime sponsor in the house
00:44:40
of this bill.
00:44:42
But Eisenhower was terrible
00:44:44
on immigration. He was terrible on immigration. He
00:44:47
was terrible on national security.
00:44:50
Everybody thinks, oh, he was so wonderful
00:44:53
in these areas. Oh, he was a general
00:44:55
and and, you know, everything was supposed to
00:44:57
be so great in the fifties. And the
00:44:59
fifties was a great time in this country,
00:45:01
folks.
00:45:02
And and we couldn't have had a president
00:45:04
like FDR or Harry Truman. The country would
00:45:06
not have stood for it.
00:45:08
The country was definitely,
00:45:10
evolving into a center right
00:45:13
country.
00:45:14
You had nearly half the Democrats in the
00:45:16
house and the senate
00:45:17
were southern Democrats
00:45:19
that were conservative, that didn't want any more
00:45:22
New Deal, didn't want any more
00:45:24
of the Fabian socialist programming,
00:45:27
and were strict anti communist. And then you
00:45:30
had over half of the Republicans
00:45:32
in the Midwest primarily, in the Mountain West,
00:45:35
in places like,
00:45:37
in places like, New Hampshire
00:45:39
and in other states
00:45:41
where,
00:45:42
they were also of the same mind.
00:45:45
And so they were divided by party, but
00:45:47
they they they created a majority. They stopped
00:45:49
the new deal. The new deal really stopped
00:45:51
in 1938
00:45:52
because of this coalition,
00:45:54
and this coalition generally continued in politics.
00:45:57
So the country was getting more conservative and
00:46:00
was very anti communist,
00:46:02
and and nobody to the left of Ike
00:46:04
could possibly have gotten elected.
00:46:07
But because he was a general,
00:46:09
because he won a war,
00:46:11
because he talked a good game,
00:46:13
and it was fine putting in God We
00:46:15
Trust on our money and changing the pledge
00:46:17
of allegiance and all these other things. He
00:46:20
never interfered with that kind of symbolic stuff.
00:46:23
So
00:46:24
the public, was thirsting for faith,
00:46:27
returning to Christ
00:46:29
was becoming more conservative,
00:46:31
and the fifties were a wonderful time, but
00:46:33
they're that's not because
00:46:36
of Dwight David Eisenhower. It is in spite.
00:46:39
He did everything he could
00:46:42
to continue to promote
00:46:45
the big government agenda at home
00:46:48
and the internationalist
00:46:50
agenda
00:46:51
overseas.
00:46:54
People wanted the federal government to get more
00:46:57
social engineering from
00:46:59
Columbia University
00:47:01
where Eisenhower was the president,
00:47:03
from the Carnegie Endowment where Eisenhower was on
00:47:06
the board, and from other organizations like that
00:47:09
to get more of that kind of curriculum
00:47:11
in the public schools.
00:47:12
But there was a lot of objection to
00:47:14
it at the local level. People were figuring
00:47:16
out what was going on in our education
00:47:18
system and had been going on
00:47:21
since,
00:47:22
you know, the nineteen teens.
00:47:25
And,
00:47:26
so I Eisenhower
00:47:27
created a new cabinet position that,
00:47:30
how,
00:47:31
department of health, education, and welfare.
00:47:34
So he could get the feds more involved
00:47:36
in all three of those areas.
00:47:39
That is an expansion of government. I said
00:47:41
he generally didn't expand government. I mean, he
00:47:43
didn't do anything like Johnson. He didn't do
00:47:45
anything
00:47:46
like Roosevelt. He didn't do what Truman tried
00:47:48
to do and what Kennedy tried to do.
00:47:50
But Eisenhower made a pretty large expansion of
00:47:54
government
00:47:54
when he created the Department of Health Education
00:47:57
and Welfare, and that was the beginning of
00:47:58
the bureaucratic
00:48:00
overlordship
00:48:02
from the federal level over your
00:48:04
public schools and over your elected school board
00:48:07
members.
00:48:09
He revved up public housing, which was a
00:48:11
disaster. They built these huge
00:48:14
public housing projects that looked like they were
00:48:16
designed in East Germany
00:48:18
that all became crime dens and were led
00:48:20
directly,
00:48:22
to the, assault on the black family, which
00:48:25
caused the crime rates in that community to
00:48:27
go to skyrocket.
00:48:29
And,
00:48:30
and, you know, some of these,
00:48:32
there's a a picture of this one,
00:48:35
a housing project that they blew up in
00:48:37
the nineteen sixties. It was such a crime
00:48:39
den, such a disaster. They literally exploded the
00:48:42
thing. It was, like, 10 stories high.
00:48:45
I've got a picture of it. I didn't,
00:48:47
I didn't prepare to show the screen there
00:48:49
for the rumble folks. But, anyway,
00:48:52
Ike, terrible on public housing, terrible
00:48:55
on, federal aid education,
00:48:58
and terrible
00:48:59
on
00:49:00
immigration.
