dwight eisenhower in particular.inding a spot where democrats liberals, moderates and conservatives, we have seen his two terms as this great kind of prosperity that he dealt with. the interstate highway system, nafta, intervention in little rock. the more we are looking at what eisenhower accomplished with good and honest government for yearsp . in my estimation he is going up. also scholars at large. jackson is taking a big hit. it used to be one of the top five and now he sinks all the time because there is a much more keen awareness of what it was with indian removal and kind of, you know blood eastside to andrew jackson and his disregard particularly for black americans and native americans. so, he has been seeking estimation by a lot of scholars. donald trump had raised jackson and ass a populist trump right, jackson is having a bit of a renaissance. and the presidential scholar world, he is moving downward. i recentlyri saw a good documentary on calvin coolidge. he is starting to have a little bit of an upward

ford, they were getting ready to leave the area, be replaced by the eisenhower. so it was a prudent move to actually ask the eisenhower group or task them to go forward earlier to have two carrier strike groups in the area. it is a show of force. make no mistake about that. but it's also to handle any kind of contingencies. and i think the deterrence effort is to prevent this from turning into a wider conflict than it already is. >> chuck, how do you see it? >> well, it was a very unusual step for washington to announce that joint special operations command, advanced units would be put into israel. that has never been done, in my memory. a joint special operations command also includes delta force s.e.a.l. team 6. they will be joined by the fbi's critical incident response group, which includes the fbi's hostage rescue team, critically their hostage negotiation unit as well. so i agree with general hertling, this is the united states putting some cards on the table and showing that they are prepared for any contingency. >> chuck, i also want to talk about that ne

and i recognised in the middle of this group, winston churchill and general eisenhower, and they wereicers. and you were supposed to salute people of that rank, but as i had been on duty all night, and wasjust informally dressed, all i could do was wave and say "good morning!" and so they all waved back and said "good morning", and they went on their way to the edge of our cliff. and in fact, much later on, i heard that churchill wanted it to be reported back that he and eisenhower had been down on the kent coast, to deceive the germans into thinking that landings were going to be in kent, into the calais area, whereas of course we were going to land much further west in normandy. that ploy worked. i went in in early �*ai. i went to devizes, to learn gunnery, as it was called. i was a height—finder, plotter. when the german aircraft came across, now the height finder was nine foot long, about that fat round, and it was on a plinth. which, you moved it around. you followed the aircraft. and i had, one like that, very similar. that had... cutouts for my four fingers. and i looked into t

eisenhower, which is enroute to the persian gulf, entered the mediterranean today, another message of deterrence to tehran. the real problem facing the israelis right now is tow -- how to attack the miles and miles of hardened hamas tunnels under gaza. u.s. forces have trained with the two specialized israeli units who focus on clearing the tunnels. the idf relies leased this -- released this rendering of how they believe the tunnel network runs right underneath gauze -- gaza's main tunnels. president biden did speak with prime minister benjamin netanyahu today. he also spoke to egypt's president el sisi, the saudi defense minister will be at the white house monday as concerns grow that this conflict between israel and hamas could spill over into the region, forcing the u.s. and its allies to confront iran directly. aishah? aishah: yeah. working very hard to prevent that. jennifer griffin, thank you very much. mike: a shooting in tampa, florida, leaves 2 dead, 18 others wounded and a crowd celebrating halloween running for their lives. police say at least two shooters opened fire just

i left out eisenhower -- action, i put them in the second tier. it is not an accident, i think, that the initial valuation of coolidge and of eisenhower, during his presidency and afterwards were similar. i do not talk very much. unimaginative. eisenhower's reputation has risen in similar ways as coolidge. certainly with self-restraint. reagan is a little tricky. we call him the great communicator. he was not silent or shy partly that was a necessity. he understood that we do live in a time with the cold war that was a crisis. the economy is the crisis. that requires, unfortunately, an amount of presidential leadership that you hint at -- i agree with you about this development. it is doubtful character next to the founders understanding of how the presidency works. >> it might be an essential quality of present in the moment. >> yeah, that is right. >> reagan's initial model was fdr. >> right. marty anderson said to me once that i never heard him once approve of any -- he just loved fdr's style. >> i will jump in here to say when you talk about e

eisenhower in a show of force as 2,000 u.s. troops, we have just learned could soon be heading to the region. rich edson on the latest from what we're hearing from the pentagon. rich? >> over the weekend, lloyd austin issued be ready to deploy orders to come to israel if needed, this does not mean they're going and this would largely have an intent of being in a supporting role, not a combat role. the "wall street journal" first reported the story and that the military had selected about 2,000 troops to prepare for a potential deployment. the u.s. air force has announced they're sending squadrons of f 15 and a-10 fighter craft giving the u.s. more than 100 attack planes in the region on top of the pentagon doubling the u.s. navy presence dispatching the eisenhower carrier strike group that joins the ford carrier strike group. the defense department says secretary austin has been holding near daily calls with the israeli defense minister. antony blinken met him in person today. >> senior officials of america are here every day.

the group is led by eisenhower, there are about 75 carrier-based aircraft, that is, this is already a very decent force, from a military point of view, ukraine has more there, of course, not, well, i’m just saying that it’s clear, then ukraine has a fleet at all no, but the air force, with the pace of destruction of ukrainian aviation, in the last two days there, in my opinion, they destroyed nine aircraft, this is, of course, a very high pace, so in addition to aircraft carrier groups, a large landing ship approached, 4,000 marines and sailors on board, austin promises to deploy the that system, the thad system is a system designed to create in... 40 km in range 20 in altitude, then here 200 in range and 150 in altitude kilometers, it’s really three times more expensive, by the way, zhelensky already rolled out his lip, asked that, he doesn’t have enough patriots, he needs that, but i don’t think that the americans will provide him with this system, that is, osin has already promised to deploy the thad battery in israel and several divisions. the minister of defense of israel annou

the eisenhower is going to be on station, the carrier strike group, very soon.re are people who look at this and listen to you and understand the need for a response to these attacks, but worry about getting drawn into some bigger regional conflict that spills out all over it. what do you say to them? >> well, i think what you do here is certainly send enough of a message against those proxies. i'll let the pentagon and others on our national security team figure out what the targets should be. but send a message loud and clear to them that we're not gonna put up with this, and things are just gonna get worse if you continue to do that. to sit back there and just defend and not reattack makes no sense to me. that is how we're gonna get into a much larger war. i mean, this is all calculated here. iran has taken this action because they perceive appeasement and weakness on the part of the united states. they think they can get away with it. the savage attack that hamas has made is perceived weakness they believe was inside israel, in terms of their political and s

eisenhower famously watched tv while having tv dinners in those little trays with his wife. he loved westerns in fact white house usher complains that it was hard to find westerns that he hadn't watched and this was back then were westerns were the most frequent genre. so presidents do have some time to do it they choose their own thing. in terms of watching your opponents i think i saw this most clearly when i worked on the bush campaign. you have to prepare for your opponent. what is he going to say? john kerry was a good debater but there is also thousands of hours of paint -- tape which helped him prepare anything that could be interesting in this upcoming campaign trump obviously was very effective in the debate but if there are multiple opponents we will have watched him and they have thousands of hours now. will they be able to anticipate what he says? and if you anticipate can you take advantage. i think the fact that these politicians are so frequently filmed and recorded it gives their opponents a lot of material to work with in order to prepare how to deal with th

when general dwight eisenhower became president eisenhower, he supported all of the relatively new social service programs, including social security, that were advanced by a democratic president franklin delano roosevelt, and legislated by democratic congresses. president eisenhower created the interstate highway system, the single biggest federal infrastructure program the country had ever seen. so ronald reagan's anti government rhetoric was actually out of sync with his republican predecessors in the presidency. but president reagan never followed through on his rhetoric, because he never meant it. he campaigned on cuts to government spending that he then never enacted. he campaigned against taxes, even though in his service as the governor of california and president of the united states, he raised taxes as well as cut taxes. what obregon told his lies about a government back in the day when no one in washington thought they were lies. they colds that stuff spin. but the young republicans listen to raegan in those days were too young to know that reagan didn't mean what he was saying

eisenhower carrier is making its way to -- what can you tell us about this latest development?ow significant is that to have these two group station there? >> i think it's quite significant. it's a reflection of president biden's commitment to support israel. the hamas attack was a terrific terrorist attack on humber-st., killing more than 1300 civilians and injuring more than 3000 others and taking hostages. israel has every right to defend itself, to secure its borders, protected citizens. and arrest the captives. and the u.s. is standing behind israel, signaling to others they shouldn't make any moves to take advantage of the situation. >> i want to play a clip of secretary blinken met with saudi foreign minister. let's listen. >> the primary suffer of the situation are civilians, civilian populations on both sides being affected. it's important, i think, that we all condemned the targeting of civilians and any form, at anytime. >> congressman, we know the situation and gaza is deteriorating by the minute. what more should be done so that anderson civilians are not kills? >>

if they had any doubt, there's a second one on the way, "uss eisenhower."hink president ford and president eisenhower would feel good to see their namesake carriers in position off the coast and ready to help defend a u.s. ally. i want to conclude by saying something in disagreement with the president of turkey, erdogan, who recently said that that carrier was there to massacre in gaza. that's absolutely not correct. the carrier is there specifically to show our solidarity with israel, to deter hezbollah. the target set, if there is one, will be hezbollah to the north. >> that is alarming, because, of course, erdogan, as the president of turkey, is one of the countries we were hoping that we would hope could be willing to pressure hamas to release our hostages, to stand down. as secretary blinken is about to depart on a trip to israel. >> indeed. frankly, at this moment, i think unfortunately, the chances of any kind of diplomacy, any kind of mediation, are extremely low because of the horrific nature of the acts that have occurred in the last two to three

eisenhower moving into position. the biden administration hopes to deter iran, hezbollah, and others from expanding the war. what we're now seeing along israel's border with lebanon. martha raddatz is standing by. >>> here in the u.s., an alleged hate crime under investigation near chicago. a 71-year-old man charged with stabbing and killing a 6-year-old boy. his mother seriously wounded. police say they were targeted for being muslim. >>> the chaotic battle to name a new speaker intensifies this week after nominating jim jordan, house republicans are scheduling a vote for tuesday. jordan apparently does not have enough support from within his party. hakeem jeffries likely to secure more votes. >>> the alarming scene at the texas state fair. gunfire erupting sending people running for cover while some people were stuck on the ferris wheel. and tributes tonight for suzanne somers. the breakout sitcom star finding huge success in business, building a wellness empire from one product in particular. >> announcer: from ab
