Not yet! Turn that off please. Not yet! I’ll let you know when, ok? No click that.
Thank you. Anyway, Dwight D. Eisenhower is now my second favorite President.
(turns) And not just because we're both from Kansas and we’re 5th cousins, four times removed (turns) it’s because he’s one of the best leaders in
American history, ok? What, you don’t believe me? You’re looking at me right now as if you don’t believe me.
Well then, I’ll prove it to you. Let’s go back.
[Music] I have about two weeks until I have to go back to school and I decided to take
a little road trip a day trip if you will to Abilene Kansas to the Dwight D Eisenhower
Presidential Library and Museum I'm gonna try documenting this I don't usually do this

okay we made it here to Abilene Kansas we've been in the car for more than an hour and
a half do you know who Dwight Eisenhower is president yeah he was a president he was a
president in the 1950s yes when Grandma Grandpa beat were actually they were babies when he was president so

Eisenhower grew up and so everywhere you go in Abilene you see pictures of Eisenhower cannot Escape him if you live in Abilene
[Music]
we came all the way here and the museum is closed the library and boyhood home are open

it will be open next week I just came a week early so that that was bad timing our tickets good until June of
2020 so we'll come back [Music] Ok so that trip was a bust.
But let’s go back even further, but before we do, I have to tell you a deep, dark secret.
(turns) I am addicted to filling out YouGov surveys. Most days I take at least one YouGov survey, as matter of fact.
YouGov is a great way to give your valuable opinions.
Plus, THEY PAY YOU! It’s free to join and an easy way to get extra cash.
It’s a win-win because you get paid to be heard. As a member, you’ll earn points for doing short surveys and polls.
I often do my surveys while I’m on the toilet. It’s one of my many side hustles since I’m a spoiled Millennial.
With my YouGov money I can take Mrs. Beat out to fancy dinners. Just check out how easy this is.
See, that one’s already done! Click my link in the description to take surveys to earn cash on YouGov!
Ok what year is it? Let’s go back to 1890.
*1890* Dwight David Eisenhower was born on October 14, 1890 in Denison, Texas.
He was the third of seven sons of Ida and David Eisenhower. The family had moved to Texas from Kansas after David’s general store had failed and
he found work down there as a railroad mechanic. By the time Dwight was born, though, the family was in extreme poverty.
Fortunately for David, his dad, Dwight’s grandpa, Jacob, hooked him up with a job at
a creamery he helped start in Abilene, Kansas. So Dwight never remembered living in Texas as a kid, moving with his family to Abilene
when he was a toddler. Even though he moved around most of his adult life, Dwight always considered Abilene his
hometown. Family and friends all nicknamed the Eisenhower boys some variation of “Ike.”
Dwight was “Little Ike.” David was not a loving father, and apparently had a big ego and temper.
