So reporters have been asking asinine question forever
Clickbait is as old as time
@@Odrikah lol, true that. Clickbait has been around since long before the click. 😉
Pretty much. Much of the BS we see from reporters today is nothing new.
Yes, they have. The people just now pointing it out are a few millennia behind. And it usually shows in their other inane observations.
"Mr. President, what flavor ice cream did you get?"
Ike was one of a kind who walked the walk. God Bless and RIP. We need folks like Ike now.
Ya, he sure knew how to create and run death camps.

When a 5 star General of WW2 looks at you like that you better be thankful that you’re still alive.
5 Star General
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
5 Stars There are only 9 of them. 😊
Well, Ike’s predecessor used to say, “If you can’t stand the heat, then you shouldn’t stand in the kitchen.” Tough questions come with the job of being president.
Ooooh, I’m so scared!
Love that Kansas accent. If you've never been to the Eisenhower library and museum in Abilene, Kansas, GO! It's a treat. Abilene also has an old cowtown you can visit, an antique train ride, and a tour of the Russell Stover chocolate factory.
Been there! Great stop.
His residence at Gettysburg is a great visit too. They left it furnished and looking just as it did when he retired there in 1961 I think. Books on the shelves and everything. Our school took a class trip there.
I visited there about 5 years ago with my parents. The year before we visited the Truman house and his library in Independence, MO. Both are great experiences.
That is a general! Notice he had his head down on the first part of the question (cut government spending) where he was listening, as soon as he hears "pair of helicopters" he snaps his head up (pissed off - how dare you) and then comes the stare as he formulates his snappy reply. Now imagine your George Patton and have been called in to face exactly that. Wonderful clip.
Very insightful
They were all jealous of Patton but at least Eisenhower refused to do without him in the biggest war in history and where mastery of open-field tank warfare was key. You see, per the D'Este biography, Ike spent a fair amount of time alone with Patton discussing armored tactics in the inter-war years. This occurred when they were assigned to the same fort or in other occasions when their paths crossed. Patton was "the man" on that topic in those yrs and Ike learned all he could. He wasn't a total ingrate.
Bradley was the real jerk, working behind Patton's back with Eisenhower to undermine. I don't think Patton ever realizes that Bradley wasn't his friend. Kind of irritating to me. Pettiness is a terrible thing, especially among the powerful.
The word was "golf." Ike hated for anyone to come between him and his golf game!
His head went up before he had heard anything about a pair of helicopters. You're dramatizing. I don't know why.
@@teller1290 Bradley also worked later on as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to turn Truman totally against General MacArthur. He's the one who commented that Mac didn't salute on the Wake Island meeting during the Korean War. You don't salute in combat zones and General Mac's mind was probably accustomed to that since he came directly from running the war. Truman took note and considered it a deliberate slight.
Back when the President had to answer his own questions, no one to deflect or lie for him
Einsenhower signed a treaty with aliens tho. Dude was capitalist😂
Dude is part Jew...
They had press secretaries in 1957. Eisenhower's was James Campbell Hagerty.
@LoneStarIndie
A president can choose to face the media if he wants to.
But most presidents are too busy to take time out to listen to a bunch of reporters ask questions that the vast majority of them already knew the answers to anyway.
And let me tell you something else. If you don't think a president can look somebody abuse me a person in the eye and lie to them I got news for you. They can they have and they will.
I don't care what political party they are. There are certain times that you have to basically hold back the truth even from your closest ally.
You forget that Trump held plenty of press conferences where he fielded accusatory questions. Biden rarely hold such conferences, because he can’t handle the criticism, and defers to his secretaries. Trump has secretaries too, but he spoke just as often.
Old school pronounciation of helicopters, "heely," like heliocentric. Last time I heard that was Raymond Burr in the US cut of the first Godzilla film.
What does the sun have to do with helicopters?
@@cd3949 he's not suggesting a similarity in function, just a similarity in pronunciation.
@@MothMan-jl3qh Now I am going to pronounce them the correct way as you correctly pointed out. You have to have 2 "L"s to pronounce it "Helly" with the short 'e'.
@@cd3949 You see, in language there are these things called homophones where two words which may not have the same meaning or even a related etymology can have the same pronunciation. "Heli" in the case of helicopter, comes from helix in Greek, meaning spiral, whereas helio comes from the name for the sun and the sun god in Greek, Helios. Isn't language interesting?
Thank you for the insight, I wondered about the pronunciation.
Eisenhower was president when I was a little kid. The day I was born Winston Churchill was in Washington visiting Eisenhower. I don't remember it too well, though, as I was pretty busy that day. 😄
Thank you, Sir! *and, good day.*
He was a Swiss Jew…..🤢
@@TatumHildebrand he was a Swiss Jew…
Jew President=Eisenhower 😈
Ike means business.
This was the last time a reporter asked about cutting spending.
Works for elites with assets, works for the poor that get benefits, and the middle class doesn't seem to think about it
Probably also the last day he was a reporter.
When you’ve been Supreme Allied Commander in WWII, handling a snotty reporter is going to be like stepping on a bug with boots on.
Where did the bug get his boots?
I've never stepped on a bug with boots on
President Eisenhower: "Sonny, you talking to a 5 star general here"
Ike almost gave that smug reporter the "Patton" treatment!
who cares
There was a reason " I like Ike" was such a huge deal. A time when normal was encouraged.
Everything normal is right-wing.
One of the greatest Presidents the country has ever had.
One of my favorite Presidents.
@@patrickc3419I've never met a Patrick before, how old are you?
Above average maybe, but I'm a fan of his as a military man.
@@beamboy07 I'm 78 , remember him a bit. Nowdays , he is rated as the 6th best President the country ever had. There's only been 16 five star Generals and he is one of them. Respect.
@@mikethebike7372 Biden said he used to be a 5 star general.
That’s a real general & president! Not a phony veteran either.
Or ones that got out of service with bone spurs...
He'd be ashamed of your comment.
@@rugbyslug He'd be ashamed of our country.
In the 1950s, two helicopters for the president was seen as massive unnecessary spending. Now, the president lives in constant luxury with a fleet of vehicles, servants, and services. And that's not to mention the ridiculous spending our government does every year on everything else.
Okay, Joseph Stalin.
🙄
@@Melior_Traiano Joseph Stalin died broke
Tbf at the time helicopters were an entirely new technology and were no doubt way more comparatively expensive than “just a helicopter” today now that they’re established and mass produced.
Nobody cares
0:39 girlboss 💅✨
Slay, Queen!
I saw another clip of him at a cabinet meeting where he was furious. You wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that.
The decline has been terribly embarrassing to those who care.
I once was watching an interview with Jay Leno who was asked, in his lifetime which President was the hardest to make fun of as a comedian? Without thinking he said, “Eisenhower", which surprised the interviewer who then asked, “Why?” Leno replied, “well, he wasn’t a friendly guy to begin with, and you don’t make fun of a man who beats Hitler.” 😂
The difference between a statesman and a politician. Remarkable man. Remarkable life.
Ike. Supreme Allied Commander
Churchill said the Brits had never thought about such a title but that it made perfect sense. The only way allies could work together was if someone was in charge.
Eisenhower was a true conservative. A man characterized by honesty, principle, and integrity. A far cry from the GOP of today.
Spoken like a true Democrat who has very little knowledge of the opposition.
@@aaronkcmo and you're obviously a MAGA who probably thinks Trump is better than Ike or Reagan.
@@aaronkcmo I understand "the opposition" like the back of my hand. Republicans like Eisenhower, William F. Buckley, and Everett Dirksen would be appalled and disgusted at what today's GOP has become. Richard Nixon was nearly thrown off the Republican ticket in 1952 because of a political fund totaling all of $18,000. Today the GOP is comfortable with nominating for the Presidency of the United States a man who is a convicted felon, a convicted sex offender, and who attempted to overthrow a free and fair election. The Republican Party has been reduced to a cult of personality, completely devoid of honor and integrity. Only a fool would fail to recognize that.
@@aaronkcmoDo you think the 2020 election was stolen?
@aaronkcmo the republican candidates are a whiny cult leader and a weirdo with mommy issues in place of a personality.
He went back to his military days on that one. LoL
"Thank you. That's all." That's the way to do it. No insults, no rudeness, none of that, like we see in today's world. Just let the person ask the question, then answer the question directly, give a reason for the disagreement about the question, keep it short and sweet, and then "thank you, that's all." And then move on. That's the way. Lets bring that back.
"If a man has to take the Fifth Amendment, there must be something he doesn't want to tell." Little could he have imagined . . .
I've seen this clip before, by which I mean on television - in a different age. And we see here an American president of a different age. One everyone could agree was worthy of respect. It's fun to see Eisenhower get snippy and we're reminded that he understandably had reason to, whilst Allied Commander in Europe. He cultivated the confident reassuring grin but he had a lot on his plate. But I do like that unblinking side gaze. I think the journalist may have been trying to be playful and we can hear some of his colleagues laughing. Kennedy could have rolled with this. But the age of media savvy and then, media mass manipulation hadn't quite come yet. Dear Ike, he was quite a man.
This reporter was the great great grandson of the reporter who n April 15, 1865 asked this question " Mrs . Lincoln besides that, did you enjoy the play"
I like Ike! 😊
To ask a man that kind of a question who wrote his resignation letter the day before D day which weighed on him so greatly on its success and mostly failure and the loss of life and ask an inane question like that is ridiculous. I see the media has not changed mich
He did golf a lot while President. Per the web, some have estimated he played 800 rounds of golf while he was president. That would have been an average of 100 rounds a year, eight per month and nearly two per week.
His golfing was how he thought. The man was a prophet. Read or watch his entire speech upon leaving the White House. He was a prophet.
@@mikeyerian2562 I agree. He was a great President (and general). I clear my mind and think of things/solutions while by riding a bicycle a lot. He did the same on the golf course.
Back when the western world had great leaders, not the excuses for ones we have now.
Indeed
You would have hated them too, stop complaining
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Trump.
@@thecomedypilot5894You reeeally sure about that?
For what it's worth that's what liberal revolution is about it was nothing but affluently born "old white men".....
“A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.”
Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton and Obama were the top 5 Presidents this country was fortunate enough to have.
Eisenhower was quite a hand at dealing with the fake newsies of his day. His press secretary advised him on a certain occasion, dealing with a controversy, that the press boys were loaded for bear. Eisenhower told him not to worry, he'd just go out and confuse them. Eisenhower used some of the tortuous syntax he was sometimes known for and spun a web that couldn't be penetrated.
Just looked it up, in 1957, the US had a budget surplus!

Who is he?
Now listen rummy. Is some blind tiger jerkin suds on the side?
Almost 70 years ago and press still asking crazy questions
Eisenhower's farewell address was his best speech ?
My great-grandfather frequently played golf with President Eisenhower on Long Island in their later years. Wish I had more than a few photos and had video/ audio of those times together.
It honestly feels like an average 20th-century president would've swept the floor with people like Harris Biden and Trump
Absolutely!
Harris and Biden are normal politicians. Trump is a raving lunatic. There’s no comparison.
So were there 2 helicopters procured for him to get to golf?
Wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. They all take liberties at our expense.
@@andydixon2980 And blaime whole other world for it
Difference today is they have a number of high dollar helicopters transport the President, so you don't know which one he's in.... or if he's in any
@@hinidinShut up ESL
@@JiggyMcCue😂
By the end of World War II Ike was used to dealing with jerks. Most of those jerks were generals and air force leaders.😂
the media was full of it even then
Kind of a funny video in light of Eisenhowers famously even temperament. Even cool people have to express anger somehow.
I think it was more of a lesson toward the reporter. Become a better reporter.
❤I liked Ike❤
I was born in July of 1996! Army Captain 2017-2019 Afghanistan! I am a moderate democrat, and I like Lincoln, Twddy Roosevelt, Dwight David Eisenhower! Those guys were Presidents! The 5 star General still exists! It's just no one has attained that rank in 50 years! I went from second Luitenant, to First Luitenant, the to Captain! For the people that are not military here, then ranks are as follows: Above me, Major, Ltd. Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier General, Major General, Luitenant General, and Just General ( 4 stars!)
What year group were you? Time-line doesn't make much sense to me. Were you in from 2017-2019?
Well, was he lying? Did he in fact get helicopters to help him go to golf courses?
Right on, Mr. Eisenhower!
He's the one who forced the de-segregation of Little Rock Central High School and placed the Arkansas National Guard under federal control and sent in the 101st Airborne Division after the Arkansas governor, Orval Faubus (a Democrat), refused to abide by the US Supreme Court's decision in Brown vs Board of Education.
Yeah, back before the Southern Strategy became a thing.
And scores have been skyrocketing ever since....
@@insaneclownponies9599 It's interesting you brought that up since most racist Southern Democrats never switched parties after the civil rights era. Orval Faubus, for instance, was never a Republican.
@williamwatson4625 it's not the politicians who switched, it was the voter base.
That’s how you shut down an interview. No bull, just thank you that’s all.
I'm a little teapot...
Truly a phenomenal president. The last great leader we had.
What about Obama?
@@JohnyG29😂😂😂 🤡
Clinton was the last. But it all depends on you. How do you vote for your senators and congressmen, your state officials your party leaders. If you don't vote for all of those you are part of the problem.
@@penguin44caClinton as in Epstein's friend Clinton? Frequent flyer on the Lolita Express? That Clinton?
@@JohnyG29seek help immediately!
Eisenhower, Lucille Ball and her children all were at an airport. Eisenhower looks at Desi Jr. and says "you're the reason I was knocked off the front page of the news papers."
Not as great a guy as you think ask his great granddaughter !!! 🧐
A teamster and union funds....Knowing what we know about teamsters in the Mafia now...yeah him pleading the 5th makes total sense.
"I Like Ike!"
I like Ike. ❤
Eisenhower should have commented, "I plead the fifth."
Operation paper clip explains necessity of nazi technology and war crimes punishment
we just gonna ignore the fact that he said if a man invokes the 4th and 5th amendment "he must have something to hide"
What a B.S. question to ask IKE.
I still like Ike.
And now the U.S. has a national debt of $35 trillion and going up quickly.
Tell em Ike!!!!
Snippy.
Perfect answer to a stupid question.
You didn't wanna mess eith Ike
Yes sir sorry sir…
Ike had it so easy compared to Truman. Ike's brother Milton, a long-time washington insider, acted like his press agent, was an advisor, and really educated Ike about how to conduct so much of his presidency. The economy was not great, average 2.5 % growth, when much of Europe and Asia were devestated and we were the worlds shopping mall.
@0:57 Wow!
Was Dwight Eisenhower a Black Man?
I had this conversation with many people the one area that the founding fathers forgot the place in our documents is that all US presidents should have had at least 10 years of military service or one combat deployment to run for president
Being POTUS is a high stress job so I would guess ALL prez get snappy quit a bit.
!
Reminds me of my Dad
I like ike. One of the best presidents
He knew about ufos
It looks as though they actually stand out of respect. These days they stand because they have to.
It seems to me every time you turn around he was playing golf.😅
Ah poor baby
This video is living proof of how our country went downhill since then
Ike had seen it all by then- did not give a F.
You don't hear presidential candidates talk this way anymore. They were cut from a different mold back in those days.
Back when presidents were coherent and intelligent…
The reporters are a bunch of self-righteous snobs. Ridiculous questions. No wonder Ike shut the man down. What a sap!
But was it true? That's all that matters.
Back when America was America and no multicultism and DEI.
Our presidents are getting older in the body and younger in the mind
"No helicopters have been procured to get me to the golf course"....now get the motorcade ready, get the police escort shutting off all the intersections as they pass thru', Ike fancies a quick 9 holes before lunch...🙄
The General got a little pissy!
A great Republican President. They are gone now.
Are you proud of biden and kamala, the world laughs at you.
He was a scumbag.
I wonder what Ike would think of Donald Trump?
Ike was the last truly great republican president.
I like Ike!
Now imagine if you asked about the war crimes
Rhine Meadows
trump uses the 5th all the time
Journalists can certainly ask stupid questions. Shows the low frequency thinking going on in their dense, itty-bitty minds.
Not much has changed, a lot of them still ask stupid questions😑.
Back when presidents weren't pathological liars a pervert or a cheat
* or a draft dodger
I think the usual image people have today of Ike, is of this sort of grandfatherly figure. Who did nothing to "rock the boat", and tried to get along with everybody. But he was also an army General, and he could be "gloves off" on occasion. In this instance here, he could just as well have been telling some subordinate commander "You WILL take that enemy position! Thank you. That's all."
