- so, grover cleveland is the story of a comeback, right? and you know, he didn't lose the popular vote. you know, he won the popular vote, and he lost the electoral college. and so he left office feeling popular, and his wife wants to go back to the white house. you know, she tells the white house butler, "i'll be back in four years." and she was. she planted a big kiss on her husband's cheek for the first time at an inauguration. and the crowd you know, cheers when he comes back in 1892. the problem is during those four years, the country changed. so by the time he becomes president, through no fault of his own, he inherits the worst economic depression in the country's history. and unlike his first presidency where he left popular and happy and in love, and excited about the post-presidency, he really never fully regains his happiness, and he leaves less popular. and so, grover cleveland story of a comeback is a reminder that it might feel or seem nice to get the job you once had back, but it is rarely as sweet the second time. - is it a

that's kind of like -- grover cleveland never lost the popular vote in 1888.dency, much to the frustration of the democratic party bosses, because he stood on principle against a terrifying -- eaten thing the country needed it. he never been happier when he threw away the presidency. he had gotten married while president. he wanted to start a family. he enjoyed the peace and tranquility of his post presidency. what brought him back in the 1892 was that same sense of principle. saving the country from economic ruin, the growing tide of imperialism, and so forth. >> a bit different, as you noted today. i want to get the president taft, you talk about him also in your book. we are at this moment right now where the power of the judiciary and specifically the supreme court could have a real impact on our political system and as somebody who served as president and chief justice, he's such a unique rule in our history. he wrote something you talk about in your book, an opinion that basically defined what it means to defraud the government, which is an issue in the

we thought that, okay, it's tom, now we're inside, we'll be safe. corresponding benjamin alvarez. grover is following the story from washington dc. he told us more about what police were saying about the shooting. there was a press conference already by police in kansas city. they said that 2 people on people are in custody. that the investigations is still ongoing. what we heard shortly after this happened. it was a sunny day in kansas. a lot of people were on the street celebrating some schools were all so close, and businesses had some viewing party to walk on the teams that had arrived there. so a lot of people then, well, we just heard there too. it was a lot of k is when shots were fired, close it to union station police set that multiple people were struck and that they took to arm to people into custody. asking everyone to leave the area as quickly as possible on one side to facilitate the treatment of the shooting victims and also a to make it easy event for 2 reunions to kate and fathers and mothers with the children that they really vacation center. but of course, there was a

>> grover cleveland. >> greg: why? >> because he was cool.smaller government-type guy. >> greg: interesting. his name was grover, which is a very sexy name, heather. what do you think of the list? >> i think kat makes a good point. not that it's stupid but we need to know who are the survey respondents. if you take a group of liberal progressives, gentlemen, trump will be ranked last. there's no surprise there. msnbc morning joe, they went over this list no surprise because they want to highlight he's ranked last. the show said that joe biden's successor, where he should rank on this list should be determined whether or not he can beat trump. if trump is elected, he should be ranked last. if he prevents trump from re-election, then biden should be ranked higher than washington, lincoln and reagan. >> greg: so trump dearrangements drives the list. we asked joe biden what he thought about the rankings. >> trust the experts. and what was that? number 14? that's not bad. tell you the truth, i should have been higher. think about it. who was dead

we founder member grover cleveland and benjamin harrison where cleveland -- harrison was the president cleveland beat him in four years later they flipped it around but when you have back-to-back presence with the unique opportunity to do a comparison shopping like put them next to each other and whether it's the right way of looking at it or not for a lot of these swing voters the that 43% we are talking about the call themselves independents-3/4 of them aren't. it's only eight or 10 that are pearly -- truly independent. for them they are basically asking themselves the question was i better off before january 20, 2021 or have been better off since. when you go through the polling data and ask that the policies of trump help you or hurt you and did the policies of light and help you or hurt you and who do you trust more to did a better job, all those things and again i'm not passing judgment on their opinion. trump wins by double digits on almost all of them. there are a couple like abortion. the president does not benefit from the side-by-side comparison. which is the tempers in the

revolution, they came from the private sector, that is private software investments grover and then hitith it. >> will know, and all of biden proposals for the ones that a fast was that he threatens to put in they have made us grow slower and reduce the number of jobs and reduce the amount of investments and reduce the value of your 401k, and his participation in this economy has been to make it weaker about stronger and he has one chance for the republicans opening before him, re- upping and continuing they research and development tax credits, and full expensing, two radios from the trump republican tax-cut printed that the democrats in congress are making to continue invited, ran promising to abolish those pennies no going to sign them because he recognize the importance of the trump tax cuts come into this economy soon pretty soon marginal tax rates as seymour will there will be government shut down washington. steve: well i sure hope not i don't think that it works for the republicans early country. larry: they're going to have to fish or cut bait and there's 1 percent across-the-b

during his presidency in the 1880s, grover cleveland vetoed dozens of pensions awarded by congress to the widows of war veterans who had overdosed to death in the 1880s. in the pitot messages, which are full of grover cleveland's personal thoughts about the morality and the manliness, cleveland criticized veterans and for their inability to bear the pain, like a man should, without over indulging in morphine. it got personal for the president and those who cannot cure pensions. i see this kind of gatekeeping as medicine and drugs as well as a civil war historian. as an early way of a government policing drug use and abuse. denying a man a penchant because he is deemed unworthy is, after all, a way to attach some kind of penalty to drug use even though the act itself is not yet a legal at this point in u.s. history and will not be until the 1910s. pensions, i argue, are a precursor to united states current set of drug laws. i am happy to talk more about that in the q&a. as if losing out on pensions and being forced into a closet to detox without medical assistance, and this was not bad

eisenhower, william howard taft, and grover cleveland. that is going back. the influence of the u.s. presidency and the legacies of their ancestors. >> i think my grandfathers greatest legacy is that he injected the idea of human rights into the foreign policy of the united states, rather having the focus before. >> and speaking of former president jimmy carter, he entered hospice care a year ago. you are supposed to live maybe six months once you enter, he is still going a couple of months ago he celebrated his 99th birthday. >>> when you hop on a flight without knowing where it's going ? apparently a lot of people would. scandinavian airlines announced a new experience that does just that, it is called destination unknown. passengers only get necessary clues like what to pack as the mystery flight nears and the destination won't be announced until during the flight tickets are limited to its loyalty program members with the airline said within minutes of its announcement, more than 1000 members signed up for that surprise flight ticket sales are closed and

have thought when i began the journey writing this book that it would be newsworthy writing about grovertch between two presidents is the nominees of the two major parties, it was 1892, grover cleveland came back to challenge benjamin harrison. this thing is given never lost the popular vote. he threw away the presidency in 1888 on the principle that he did not fight high tariffs, and he never been happier than when he left the presidency. he came back on the principle that he needed to save the economy from ruins, stop the tide of jingoism and imperialism. and it just shows you how awestruck we've gone that the only other time that we have a rematch between two presidents is, you know, this election, 2024, the two oldest candidates in history, eclipsed only by themselves four years ago. >> herbert hoover, history has -- pressure on his forehead. [inaudible] -- the mississippi flooded in the --1970s, i know you know th one well. e and he went into the white house into one of the most lopsided victories in history in 1928. he's just tarnished by the great depression, they have to our peop

we remember grover cleveland and benjamin harrison, and cleveland beat harrison.eveland and then four years later they flipped it around. it is a unique opportunity to do comparison shopping. put them next to each other, and whether it is the right way of looking at her no not, for a lot of these swing voters, the 10% in the middle, because the 43% that call themselves independents, 3/4 are not. it is only about 10% that are independent. they basically are asking themselves the question was i better off before january 20, 2021 or have i been better off since? i would be very, very surprised if president biden won 270 electoral votes. >> this year? >> yeah, because the thing is keep in mind when you see these national polls, right now trump is a lead of about an average of one point, but you have to remember the national popular vote really important. just as president al gore and president hillary clinton that that is not how you decide who wins, and in 2016 donald trump lost the popular vote but won the electoral college basically by a margin of 70,000 votes scat

that's why grover nordqvist at one point supported comprehensive immigration reform. but what i see right now is a crisis at the border. and i want to give the president emergency powers to be able to stop it from happening. and that does not mean getting rid of asylum all in all. it means simply making some changes to make things better. and what really bothers me about this, i was looking at some of their comments. i think senator langeford said it best. he said, are we going to have press conference and complain the border is bad and potentially leave it open. what he's getting at is raw politics. mike johnson himself, the speaker of the house, said on the 24th of february of last year, america is the most compassionate nation in the world. but our immigration system is broken. reforming that system is a job for congress. and any balanced legislative approach must include measures to strengthen border security. and we know that. >> we heard a lot from republicans on this time and time again. i do wonder, senator, one part of this as i was reading through it. there

national weather service in los angeles confirmed e f one tornado hit over at san luis obispo at grover beach. so definitely some wild weather. textbook weather we had this week. so the next weather headline for us in the bay area, chilly temperatures. we have another frost advisory in place for the north bay east bay and south bay valleys. temperatures down to the low 30's mid 30's. it was chilly this morning heading out the door. so expect similar temperatures and these are more of the temperatures. let's so we're seeing 30's and 40's across the map. so just keep that in mind. the wind speeds we're not dealing with. although strong winds just along the coast, we just have that sea breeze going on. so just a lot of blue skies out there. when i come back, i'll talk about the 7 day forecast because we have warm days ahead. >> thank you, gayle. the east bay, the former raiders training facility is now up for sale in alameda. the property is owned by both the city of oakland and alameda county. currently the oakland roots and oakland souls. soccer teams are using the space. it's estimated

these are photos from the aftermath from wednesday's storm in grover beach.es tore a path of damage three miles long and are said to be the strongest tornadoes in the county since 1950. no injuries have been reported. that is the good news. before wednesday, the county had not seen tornadoes in nearly 20 years. what do you think accounts for that? well, we had a line of thunderstorms going through that area during the week. >> thunderstorms create the kind of instability in the atmosphere that can allow a tornado to develop. now they're very unusual in this area. but if we have a powerful thunderstorm with lots of what we call atmospheric instability, they can develop. yeah. pretty scary. apparently they did. yeah. nothing scary coming. our way for the next couple of days. here's a look at live doppler seven. you can see high pressure giving us clear skies mainly offshore though way off shore we've got stormy weather developing and moving in our direction and we're going to have a period of wet weather coming our way starting around midweek. but right now eve

beyond the politics. >> i love the fact that we get an occasion to talk about grover cleveland again.o write about cleveland. here we are, the one and only time you have had a rematch between two presidents, as the nominees of the two major parties was 1892, grover cleveland came back to challenge harrison. he threw away the presidency that he didn't want high tariffs. he had never been happier. he came back on the principle that he needed to save the economy from ruin, stop the tide. the only rematch between two presidents, 2024, the two oldest candidates in history, eclipsed only by themselves. >> robert hoover, history stamped depression on his forehead. what did he do after he left office. >> i'm on a mission to make herbert hoover great again. he lived to be 99 years old, defined by his four years in the white house. before he was president, he was the great humanitarian that fed the world after world war i. he was an orphan that was a self-made millionaire. he waltzs into the white house in one of the most lopsided victories in history in 1928. he's tarnished by the great depres
