this is followed with john f. kennedy who signs in 1962 this foreign assistance act, which is in a way to watch the deployment of u.s. troops to vietnam and to train allied forces. prior to this, with the french removal from laos and vietnam and laos becoming an independent country in 1954, this kind of gives the opportunity for the expanding viet cong communist forces to come in and expand even into laos. actually we start to see a very , large communist group that starts to emerge in laos. an important thing to remember is that the -- what were the hmong doing at this time? first, i mentioned they were supporting the royal lao government against the japanese. as the commonest reproaching and laos and laos started to expand, the hmong for also -- were also anti-communist. they were fighting against the communists in laos, to protect their freedom and to protect their land. we start to see the emergence of a particular character, and , general pao, who actually created a force of about 3000 to 4000 hmong fighters, engagin

this is what happens in which john f. kennedy, in a covert operation with the cia and specifically built layer --bill layer, they find the general fighting is the communists. they decide to side with the general and give him military support. dropping military weapons as well as rice into the area to support his forces. we start to see a force that started with only a few thousand people start to turn into tens of thousands of fighters against the communists. over the course of this period from the 1960's to the early 1970's we start to see the expansion of the communists throughout laos and the eventual demise of hmong the guerrilla warriors fighting against them. we start to see tens of thousands of individuals dying. it is recorded at about 50,000 hmong civilians and fighters died at this time. that fathers who were fighting at this were fighting over the course of fighting had their sons actually take their place. children froms of the ages of 11, 12, 13 and 14, and 15 fighting and the frontlines against the communists. ms. l

i think it helps john f. kennedy , the fact that his assassination in dallas is so studied and debated and analyzed and filled with conspiracy theories just keeps kennedy and the news all the time. in general, i think the last few years when this poll was taking place we had a lot of 50th anniversaries, the cuban missile crisis, 50 years of selma and lyndon johnson. sometimes an anniversary can help put a presidency into a refocus and help with their legacy. woodrow wilson should be dropping coming up. i am surprised he has hung in there as strong as he asked. people wanted to take statues of them down due to his racism, change the name at the woodrow wilson school at princeton. he is getting battered but he hangs in there. host: new york we hear from jerry, good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call. going back to metric versus english system, i can speak some more for this gentleman who called from england. work atyears old and i until i was 71 as an engineer in the international oil and gas business. this

john f. kennedy. followed by ronald reagan at 75%, followed by bill clinton. it does show you that some of the bias of the american people in terms of how they look back at president's day remember or people they are told about by their grandparents or parents, i think that's seeping into the scholarly polls as well. >> let's go to the side. >> thank you for your talk.

john f. kennedy. had a depressed rating that was rather unfair. thank you so much. >> i was wondering how you would account when looking at those logistics. for people who look back on the past few decades and say i like this president. this is about an afterglow of a presidency. i think that's what keeps getting john kennedy into the top tier. he tends to fall in the top 10 among academics. glow about that administration. point, sadly, because of the way it ended. if anybody has seen the movie jackie, that tells you the story of how mrs. kennedy created the camelot mythology, the goals around him. camelot and updated it and created another golden era around the kennedy administration. i think you are absolutely right. one of myst, colleagues at the center -- he was asked to participate in that rating and he said i don't know enough about the president of old. i didn't live during their time. that is not my area of scholarship. i would just feel a little uncomfortable trying to read president on these

i could use as an example, john f. kennedyt hundred days had the bay of pigs, there is the meeting of the summit, he really stumbled out of the gate. yet both presidencies, reagan and kennedy, are admired presidents and their presidencies were popular. >> jenna: that's so interesting. i thought our conversation was going in a lot of directions, i didn't think he was going to reagan's pajamas. it's really interesting to think that they both had an interesting experience in the first hundred days and yet, they remembered by the american public and others as some of our great presidents. i just want to point something out that speaks to what a president learned sometimes during their presidency. i remember when president trump first boarded air force one and during one of his first trips, he didn't turn around and wave and that's a condition in itself that you're supposed to stand up there, you wave, and then you go into the plane. he did it now and to me, that's a microcosm of things that are learned within the first hundred day

even during the cuban missile crisis, during john f. kennedy's time, you were still able to engage in discussions. but until the trigger is actually pulled -- in this case, 30 years of talks with the north korean regime have resulted in a nuclear capability, and advances in missile technologies, designs from pakistan, through the a.q. khan network. there are reports that iran is using the engineering capabilities of north korea to further its ambitions. you have got to reintroduce something that causes the kim jong-un regime to pull back a bit and reconsider whether it wants to push as aggressive as it is. tim: thanks very much for joining us. you are watching "bbc world news america." turkish officials say that president trump has called recep tayyip erdogan to congratulate him on winning a sunday referendum that hands him sweeping new powers. mr. trump's support comes despite concerns over the fairness of the vote. mr. erdogan has dismissed these concerns and his government has extended the national state of emergency for another three months.
