one of the things that's most remarkable about franklin d. roosevelt is he understands how to theater of war relates another theater of war, while some leaders are focused on one front. how an eastern front relates to a western front to a battle of the atlantic, if something going on in the pacific or mediterranean. ats quite good at looking how all these relate to one another. and that's a rare quality, tend to get very focused. he sees the bigger picture of relate. roosevelt could also be frustrating, because he doesn't always convey -- he doesn't convey in writing, the way churchill does, what he's thinking. and generally the last person in the room, you know, thinks, oh, i've got the president's ear. then the next person comes in and he tells them something 180 degrees out. roosevelt liked to say he was the juggler, that he could could juggle, he theaters of war. and he kept it straight in his which is pretty remarkable when you're telling people different things. anyway, so he's a remarkable strategist that learns a great first world war. we're fo

december 8, 2015, trump judd his proposal during a television interview by noting that president franklin d. roosevelt, quote, did the same thing with respect to the internment of japanese americans during world war ii. in january 2016, during a republican primary debate, trump was asked whether he wanted to rethink his decision on banning muslims from entering the country. he answered, no. a month later at a rally in south carolina, trump told an apocrhphal story about united states general john per singh killing a large group of muslim insurgents in the philippines with bullets dipped in pigs' blood in the early 1900s. justice continues. despite seral opportunities to do so, president trump has never disavowed any of his prior statements about islam. instead he has continued to make remarks that a reasonable observer would view as an unrelenting attack on the muslim religion and its followers. taking all the relevant evidence together, a reasonable observer would conclude that the proclamation was driven primarily by anti-muslim animous, rather than by the government's asserted national security jus

franklin d roosevelt walking at the white house.mer president often used able chair or leg braces after having polio at 39 years old. his disability was kept out of the public eye. the white house had strict rules how he could be filmed or photographed. isn't that unreal? >> he was always seen behind the desk but here he is walking with the assistance of an aide. thank you. 12 minutes after the hour, hundreds of protesters on capitol hill chanting, the left's new rallying cry, listen to together.

when you talk about the public employee unions, one of the greatest heroes, franklin's alana roosevelt, who, dlanoay, -- franklin roosevelt, who, by the way, tried to pack the supreme court so he could get his way and a lot of things, he came out and said he did not think public employee unions were a good thing because of the fact that they do work for governmental institutions, and anybody can find that. it is amazing where we are going and when kennedy retired, it made me feel almost as good as when trump won. now i do not like a lot of trump's rhetoric and personal things he says, but i vote strictly on supreme court justices. i have been a on this earth long enough -- i have been on this earth long enough to know that supreme court justices are a very important thing. i'm not an evangelical, i am a person who believes in the constitution, so i guess i would be called a strict constitutionalist. host: i have to get some other voices in, but i hope you keep watching. at the top of the hour, mark plaintiff in that case you were talking about along with his lawyer will be joining us to talk a

or option d, we could reorient our strategy entirely and focus on the defeat of germany first.r dog in navy lingo, was the one that franklin roosevelt accepted. germany, roosevelt believed, was by far the more dangerous foe among the three axis. not only because of its ideology and obvious aggression the , position it held in europe, but also because of its economy. the gross domestic product of germany in 1940 was greater than that of france and britain combined and six times bigger than that of japan. some this is the real enemy. , in roosevelt's mind, it was essential to american national interests to defeat germany first, to make sure that britain survived so it could be used as unchinpoint for the eventual invasion of europe and thression of germany should it come to war. and most historians have followed suit. germany first. treating the war as two connected but separate conflicts. one chapter on the war in europe and one chapter in the pacific. a two-ocean war. that is not how it was fought. when american and british admirals and generals met to hammer out allied strategy for the war, they paid lip service to the concept of d
