one of the things that always amazes me about sherman and grant is like sherman underperforms and grant always has his back. i mean, you know, he messes things up at shiloh and deploys poorly and gets surprised. that's the school you should be attending. yeah, right. exactly. yeah, yeah, right. and you know, when after the fall of when as tim mentioned earlier, sherman is sent to stop joe johnson's army of relief, he sort of chases them away. but destroy them, you know, chattanooga and yet grant continues to back him up. and so we sort of have created this narrative, them really working together. but there's a lot of grant's sustaining sherman through some of that too. so other questions mean go up here to the front. i nobody nobody gets my microphone all right i'm so used to grabbing at myself i'm charlie seaford out of fredericksburg out of the rappahannock valley civil war round table and so yes big on chancellorsville but have you ever looked at is there other relationship like the relations between reynolds and after the battle of chancellorsville where reynolds who's been meade su

sherman admitted when grant and sherman finally ride to the point overlooking chick's mobile where had been defeated back in december, sherman turns to grant and says, all right, grant, i really wasn't interested in this. i didn't think it would succeed and read between the lines basically sherman is saying, i thought you were an idiot for ordering this, but you don't tell your commanding general, you know he was idiot, but the the idea here is that sherman tells grant that, i can see it now with the supplies open, we have vicksburg him. then there's no doubt what's going to be the result of this thing. and so this is the end, this campaign. in fact, sherman, you need to make a report to washington. this campaign. we haven't even taken vicksburg. you don't know what's to happen in the future. but this campaign is ended and it's brilliant. and you did a good job, grant. you're not an idiot. like i thought you were. and grant says, well, okay, thanks so end of the first phase of this is getting into a position to actually take vicksburg and. that's the first five major decisions. now tha

i think, on sherman's part. so with thomas eventually headquartered in nashville, serving as the state's primary defender, sherman was then free to shift his attention towards the confederate heartland, but it also meant that hood was free to invade tennessee, which is something again, he had raised possibility of with president davis earlier that fall. so who decides to invade? but the problem, of course, that he had had was really twofold. first, supply shortages. the army of tennessee was short of everything but weapons and many of the men were running short on clothing on shoes. certainly food was in short supply. the livestock the horses, the wagon trains and so forth. the animals tended to be very undernourished and therefore their range and their endurance was much less. and as a consequence of that, hood immediately had logistical issues. and what complicated it even more, i think, was the rickety nature of the confederate logistical system by 1864, relying on basically one railroad line in a handful of

thomas, major general, turned out to be a wise decision on sherman's heart. with thomas eventually headquartered in nashville serving as the primary defender of the state he was free to shift his attention to the heartland. also free to invade tennessee which is something he raised the possibility of president davis. hooded decides to invade but the problem of course that he has was really twofold. supply shortages. the army of tennessee was short of every thing but weapon. clothing, shoes, food was in short supply. while livestock, the wagons and so forth. the animals are malnourished and the endurance was much less . as a consequence he immediately had logistical issues. what complicated it it even more was the nature of the confederate logistical system i 1864 relying on one the line of the railroads to try to keep his army said and supplied an ally in the field. this is where beauregard should step in and fix the problem. despite it was a capable administrator a well schooled statistician and beauregard certainly understood that hood was a battlefield com

so what sherman decided to do is to call off the chase. instead he began making preparations in the fall of 1964 for targeting savannah in the confederate heartland in the famous march to the sea. meanwhile, sherman, thinking about the possibility of cutting loose from atlanta, and even from his lines of supply and heading east towards the atlantic, have to worry about the problem of hood's army in his rear. that is a threat. you don't want an enemy army operating unfettered in the rear, and you don't know what hood wants to do. what sherman decided to do was to assign the defense of the region, particularly of tennessee, to george thomas, major general, the rock of chickamauga. turned out to be a very wise decision. with thomas, eventually headquartered in nashville, serving as the states primary defender, sherman was then free to shift attention towards the confederate heartland. that also meant the hood was 320 tennessee, which is something he had raised the possibility of with president davis early that fall. so hood decides to invade,

in other words, in sherman was not going to do what who had sherman did play along. time he attempted to chase herd through georgia and ennto alab times. but finally, once he realized, i think what who had had in mind, sherman simply refused to play the game. so what sherm tdo then is to call off the chase and instead begin making preparations in the fall of 64 for targeting savannah and the confederate heartland. in his famous march to the sea, which we all know about so meanwhile, sherman thinking about the possibility of cutting from atlanta and even from his lines of supply and heading east towards the atlantic, had to worry about the problem of hood's army in his rear. and that is, of course, a threat you don't want an enemy army operating unfettered in the rear, and certainly you don't know what hood wants to do. so what sherman decided to do was to assign the defense of the region, particularly the defense of tennessee, to george h. thomas, major general, the rock of chickamauga turned out to be a very wise decision. i think, on sherman's part. so with thomas

sherman. this is such a cruel and cowardly clot crime.t, but my mother, my spouse, i had just gotten married at the time, my siblings, my editors, when i was kidnapped, it puts the family in an impossible situation. the father would rather have his daughter pass away. the sherman's are doing tv interviews, talking to these other families. it creates this false sense. they literally hold the lives of their loved ones in their hands. if they can just get prime minister netanyahu to see me on tv, he'll do the prisoner exchange. the families feel like they can save the life of their loved one. they don't really have that power. american families trying to get an oval office meeting with president biden. the fault here the problem here, and you'll see families get very angry with the u.s. and the israeli government. but the party at fault here is the kidnappers. >> of course. >> it's a slow motion cowardly crime. and it plays out over months and years and it's obviously tortures the hostages, but it tortures these families. >> do you feel like

>> betty sherman.e they had that lab confirmation, the investigators at the personage called the troopers interviewing sherman, the pastor, to tell them of their breakthrough discovery. >> as he sitting across from detectives, your phoning in and say we have blood out here? >> yes. >> he first denies that betty ever blood in the garage. that she ever blood anywhere in the personage. but when confronted about this bloodshed, in the garage. he comes up with a story about how she cut herself moving wood. >> sherman told police that betty had helped her move -- betty so badly that she needed a badge. and sure enough, he confessed that they did in fact find the pile of wood on church grounds. but what they found hidden beneath the pile would only raise more questions about ab's version of events. coming up! did a. b. make a freudian slip during his interrogation? >> he subconsciously throughout the statement of putting her in the car. which, is what i believe, he did. he put her bleeding body into that car.

joining me now is ron sherman's mother, maya sherman.king with us right now at this very difficult time. could you first tell us, what kind of conversations are you having with the israeli government? >> none. we have a really good support from around but not directly from the government, no, nothing. >> did they give you any information about your son, or has you reassessment of his condition, from what you've heard from other networks? >> they don't know anything. they know exactly like i do and probably i will know, you know, before them. this is something that, today was all the media at the social media and the videos that you get, you know everything before everybody else. the government tells us nothing at this stage. >> what do you make, or what are your feelings as you watch the israeli government and the bombing of gaza, the destruction of the buildings and the water and the food and electricity crisis, with the idea that your son may be in gaza? >> you are right, this is now our second concern because we have so many concerns.

thomas had his problems with grant, but he was sherman's most trusted subordinate, and sherman sent him to nashville to get nashville ready for the fight. if brandon pulled to the previous speech, nashville was the third most fortified city in the united states behind dc and richmond. i say, 10 or 11 miles of trenches around nashville, impregnable to assault. hood new this from spies, but hearing it and seeing it are two different things. we all have that in life. you can be told something, told something, and not believe it, but when you see it, you know. the confederates, after the disaster at franklin, immediately marched to nashville and they are on the high grou, south of nashville. they realize we don't have enough people, they are cold, starving. 3500 don't have shoes nothing to eat. they're inrags. they're filthy, and their morale, as team, is at rock- bottom. so, what do these guys see? they see all of these forts around nashville. look at this. this is the old city of nashville. look at these lines going from river-to-river with over 20 batteries on these lines. an interline o

he befriends ohio, a very influential ohio senator, john sherman. and so when hayes refused to run again, garfield went to the republican in chicago to try to get nomination for sherman. he's out there, advocate for sherman, but he gets up and he gives a stem winder of a speech and people say, ooh, i like the cut of his jib, i like this guy. and they start voting for garfield garvey, the no no, no, no, i'm not running. and he's gaveled of order and his friends are just kind of trying to hold him down. the thing is, you have the stalwart stalwarts like the old spoils. they like the corrupt system, and they want it to nominate grant again. and the republicans. that was probably a bad idea. garfield actually had a better reputation. the since the convention was deadlocked one by one, people started flocking him and he ends up getting the nomination, but they end up putting his running as chester alan arthur, who had been kicked out of the new customs house because he was a stalwart. they wanted to placate the stalwart faction and that would be a fatefu

thomas had his problems with grant, but he was sherman's most trusted subordinate and sherman sent him to nashville to get nashville, ready for the fight. as brian had told you in the previous speech nashville was the third most fortified city in the united states, d.c. and richmond. i say ten or 11 miles of trenches around nashville, impregnable to assault. who knew this from spies? but hearing it and seeing it are two different things. we all have that in life. you can be told something and told something and not believe it. but when you see it, you know, and the confederates after the disaster at franklin immediately marched to nashville and they were on the high ground south of nashville. they realize we don't have enough people. they're cold, starving, 3500 n't haveho, nothing to eat there in rags. they're filthy. anthmorale of the team is at rock bottom. sohat do these guys see working. they see all of these forts around nashville. and look at this. this is the old city of nashville. look at these lines going from river to river with over 20 batteries and, fords on these lines, i

he is out there advocating for sherman. but he is getting up and he has a great speech and people say you like the cut of the jib. and they start voting for garfield. he says he's not running, and everything is out of order and his friends are trying to hold him down. the thing is, you have stallings. he likes the old spoils system. they wanted to nominate grant again. republicans knew that was a bad idea. garfield had a better reputation. since the convection was that liked, one by one, he gets the nomination. but they end up putting his running mate as chester allen arthur who had been kicked out of the new york customs house because he was a staller and they wanted to placate the faction. that was a fateful choice. unfortunately, not much to say as a presidency because it was short. he did appoint a lot of african- americans to the office, which is something that was far above that idea of advancing civil rights for african americans including frederick douglass. he gives douglas a federal job. he advocates for civil ser

so that william t sherman could make its people howl. we can know briefly in defense of davis and bragg, there have been no better option quoted general in the full acceptation of the word as a rare product. scarcely more than one can be expected in a generation. but in this mighty war in which we are engaged, there is need for half a dozen. that's what bragg wrote. he certainly never found his half dozen, and he certainly didn't find them in the western theater. one of my favorite sketches here of the fight at chickamauga and a great ambrose bierce aphorism after albertsonohnston's death, he could hardly find one general in the fl acceptation of the word. who could command the army in the western theater, joe johnston oreauregard, who he clearly distrusted, were no better than bragg. there wa polk who porter alexande refred to has basically incompetent or william hardy who we know shied away from assignments larger than corps command. i respected the fact that none of bragg' scessors, whether they were joe johnston or john bell hood, ha

joining us is brad sherman. thanks for joining us.aeli prime minister says these airstrikes in gaza are just the beginning. hamas is threatening to execute hostages on live tv. will this be a drawn out, brutal warp? >> two last many weeks, perhaps months. you cannot leave hamas. you cannot pretend this just did not happen. you cannot leave them with a sophisticated military power that they have demonstrated. you have to disable hamas. that will be difficult. it will not be pretty. but it -- what is the alternative? >> you have been a member of the house foreign affairs committee for 28 years. what should the u.s. be doing now? >> we should be eating israel, not only militarily, but diplomatically, because there are already those who are saying that israel should not defend itself. those calls will be louder as israel takes necessary actions. i think that everyone with a voice in america has got to say that when an organization like hamas dedicates itself for decades to kill or expel every jew from the middle east, you should take them

soon as the united states entered the war, he volunteered and ended up at camp sherman in chillicothe, ohio. he served in is as an aide to the camp's commandant and also doubled as the camp's football coach. talbot's playing days were over, but he had several other all-americans in the camp. guys from yale and notre dame and ohio state. and he also found some hidden gems from smaller colleges, guys who hadn't really gotten to shine on a big stage yet, but who were really good football players. after a couple of practices, talbot realized just how good his team was, and he also saw a tremendous opportunity. he took the team on the road, crisscrossed ohio and raising money for a war relief fund camp sherman played in dayton and toledo and columbus. even at a major league baseball stadium in cleveland and cincinnati, they won six of their eight games. but more importantly, they raised $150,000 for the war effort, which is the equivalent of about 3 million in today's dollars. this showed investors and organized users, including talbot himself, that all star teams like this could be profit

robert sherman. all right. want to take a deeper look now into some of the things that have caused this conflicts between. >> israel and the palestinian militant group hamas and to give us a better understanding, we're now joined by cal state east bay professor lonnie of the brooks, professor. thank you for joining us. of course. >> the rocket attack definitely took the world by surprise over the weekend. but the conflict there has been ongoing for quite some time. could you help give us a little bit of background? was there an incident that triggered this violence over the weekend? >> yes, thank you for basically she typically hamas. yeah, it made a mistake. i they. you know, there have been warming relationships between the saudis and the air states in the past years where their countries that want to create more peaceful relationships with israel. >> create a more lasting peace. >> is basically in that regime. >> unfortunately, they don't represent that the hearts and attention minds of most palestinians nec

joining us now co-founder of punch bowl news, jake sherman.also an msnbc political contributor. jake, you are the perfect person to have on this morning. give us your latest reporting. when this vote happens, slated for noon, is jim jordan going to have enough support to become speaker? >> not clear to me, john. i think that's an open question. i think 5 to 10 is a charitable view from republican sources. we've heard that as well. we have a list quite frankly of at least five -- we just put out the newsletter now of at least five noes, and many, many undecided. and that's what should be worrisome for jordan. as you know this is a little inside the weeds, but this is roll call vote out loud, which is alphabetically. and if he gets four noes by the "d" or "f" or "g" letter, there's a big problem. it's going to be tough for him to hold his yeses, and he could bleed votes. now, jordan doesn't have the reservoir of good will that mccarthy had. people liked kevin mccarthy, not as many people like jim jordan. and for a variety of reasons. that's noth

congress brad sherman thank you wendy forjoining us.— wendy for “oining us. thank ou. the white house, lit up in blue and white, as a show of support to israel. stay with us here on bbc news. hello again. monday felt like another warm, summer's day — except, of course, it wasn't summer. no, its october. it's meant to be a lot colder than this. these blue, sunny skies sent temperatures soaring, particularly across england and wales — the warmest spot, east malling in kent, 26 degrees celsius. now, average for these cities at this time of the year is 15 or 16 degrees, so ten degrees above average. even the temperatures we had on monday were in excess of what we'd see in a typical july day, so that's why it felt like summer. now, you can see the clear skies that we had across england and wales, but lurking out in the atlantic, we've got more rain—bearing cloud around, and that's not good news for scotland, where we still have the bulk of the flood warnings in force across the nation. it's here where, of course, we saw torrential rain and flooding over the course of the we
