colleagues of the years in putting eisenhower books together, and one in particular was lynn hall, a former national chairman of the republican party. i interviewed him in oyster bay, new york, close to the teddy roosevelt homestead some years ago, and i asked him that very question, and i think he would have agreed with your response entire lyric that dwight eisenhower did not enjoy campaigning, but said the two greatest natural politicians he had seen were al smith and dwight eisenhower. he said these were two people who had a natural cal lent for it. that is the able to say the right thing at the right time, to make the gesture, and so forth, and he had a talent for campaigning, and i think that is -- he was older, well into this 60s when he was running, so did not have the energy of richard nixon in 1960, or obama running in 2008 and so on. >> and mrs. eisenhower, a lot has been written about your parents' relationship with the eisenhowers. how do you describe it? >> i think that one of the things i enjoyed doing when i was working on the project of eisenhower's retirement years, was to look at

jonah goldberg is a fox news contributor and editor at large of "the national review" online. lynnis washington bureau chief for the "chicago sun-times". i want to start with a look at a headline today from "the washington post". here's what it said. it said enrollment surges at u.s. online health care exchange. they're braggifg- jonah, about the fact that they got 56,000 people to sign up over three days in december. what do you think about those numbers, and what do you think about that headline? >> well, you know, any rise from zero or, essentially, zero is mathematically very large and can be called a surge. it doesn't mean that those numbers are actually hitting what they need to hit. they need 200,000 people to sign aeát with the number of cancellations that they've already had. moreover, we don't necessarily really know that these people have enrolled. we just know that they think they enrolled, and they got a screen telling them they enrolled, but because the back end of obamacare hasn't been built yet, we don't know whether, in fact, their information has made it to the in

he will give an address to the nation we believe early next year. and i think lynn is right, is this is one of the big things, communications company will hold a lot of the metadata. but he is standing by some of the programs because it has protected our security. >> you were nodding. you're here on the set with me so i can see you nodding as we were going through some of this. and we put up what the association press wrote talking about an unusual coalition of conservative republicans and democrats have taken up the issue. so we don't see this bipartisanship. it sounds you have weird bedfello bedfellows. >> this is exactly the thing that brings strange bedfellows together. libertarian, democrats, a federal judge who is aped by former president george bush was the of the metadata collection was unconstitutional. members of the panel thought there was overreach, there was no need for the nsa it to be holding as much metadata, as much phone call record data as it is holding. so i think that the president signals that is he going to make changes. the question is are th

. >> lynn louis, director of the picture the homeless, and the executive director of the national coalition for the homeless, jerry. >> let me start with you in washington. homelessness with families is on the rise. why? >> because housing is becoming less and less affordable. for families that are homeless, it is an economic problem. there was just a study last week from harvard finding that 27% of all renters, not just folks struggling with homelessness, but everyone renting, is paying half their income on housing. it squeezes out the budget and household for basic necessities. >> housing has been expense v for years. people suffered paying the bills. why, now, are we seeing high numbers of homelessness? >> housing costs are out of control. they are part - part of the findings from the study is they are worse now than they've been. the rise in homelessness is due to the real estate market heating up for families finding themselves out of doors because they can't afford rent. it's very much tied to what is going wrong in the economy for low income households. >> let's talk about new york c

nation, nsa, you've gone too far. the bulk collection of americans' data by the u.s. government has to end. >> do you think, lynn, that at least in terms of timing the momentum seems to be with people on pat leahy's side of the argument and you have the panel recommending changes and you had the federal judge this week and calling the changes unconstitutional and the meeting at the whois with tech executives and that meeting went twice as long as it was supposed to. so does that change the equation? >> slightly. i think a lot of the pressure from congress for the moment is diverted to some other matters under the year and one of the reasons that i say this is that congress is out and out in a few weeks and the immediacy of action isn't there and the only thing that could trigger something putting this into the top priority list is another revelation, and that brings up edward snowden and the guy that started this whole thing. right now is he looking more like a whistle-blower than a villain? >> i think it certainly depends on people's perspectives. there are people when see both sides and it provoked an incredib

nation's efforts to combat terrorism. "we are pleased the court found the nsa's bulk telephone metadata to be lawful. lynn sweet. go saturday morning to you. my friend, in the final news conference, the president said he would review this. does it change the president's approach? >> well, probably not because there's another federal judge that also gave a ruling that was contrary to this one. i think on the 46 recommendations that are before the president right now, the one that he indicated he was most interested in probably acting on, and this is the good bet is asking congress or legislation to deal with the bulk phone data, metadata system. right now the government holds all the records. there will be a request and suggestion in that report just to have the companies hold it, which is controversial in its own right. >> so in the ruling the judge suggests a sweeping amount of phone data to help collect the dots on any potential terror plots. any evidence, any of that which has been collected stopped one terror threat. >> this is a very meaty question. and i interviewed jeff stone, one of the five people on bo

nation. this was in the 1940s still. she worked for governor robbins and then she worked for governor lynn jordan. then she made a run for congress she didn't win in north idaho because i don't think any democrat or any republican could have one in north idaho then. it was all strong democrat. she later called that a temporary fit of insanity. she was just about 40. after she lost governor smiley asked her to be the secretary of commerce and development for idaho. understand this is a woman with a high school education, never had a course in business, never had a course in economics. she did everything by the simplest strategies. she started off asking fifth-graders from idaho to write to fifth-graders in other states. a little genius in that because she understood long before mcdonald did that people with kids were the most likely travelers. she then went on to other strategies. she did not have the money to invite the ceos of corporations to come here to work so she promoted hunting and fishing in the mountains and backcountry trips as a way to get the ceos of those big corporations to come hear
