i expect that we are going to see, when it comes to hurricanes, that s going to start going up the list a little bit. i went back in the archives here and grabbed the radar from harvey. of course, this moved to a pace that you could outwalk like dorian. what we re seeing here is, with a warmer climate, where the air is warmer, it holds more moisture. so you are getting 1 in 500-year rain events. then also you are getting warmer waters. so that s more high octane fuel, and we are seeing these hurricanes now go through rapid intensification because of the warmer waters. when you look at the list and you want to know what the definition of rapid intensification is, 30-mile-per-hour wind increase in a 24-hour period. that happens to 79% of major tropical cyclones. we are seeing that happen more and more with these storms. definitely in the last five to even ten years. then you have the ocean that is rising. that sng a
yeah, i think that a lot of this is wrapped up in age. a lot of people in the age group, millennial age group, obama and trump are the two presidents they know. it doesn t surprise me they liked obama. it wasn t surprising to me reagan was up the list a little bit as well. it doesn t surprise me president kennedy still gets high marks. frankly, i think he did some things during his short and tragic time in office. i wasn t terribly surprised by this research. over time the view of presidencies change. when president trump bush left office he had very low approval ratings and today they are much higher. that has a lot to do with trump, i m sure. and how we view presidencies? obama won two times for a reason. he was a really talented politician who inspired a lot of people. i won t deny that. a lot of people who voted for him once or twice are still proud of those votes.
nothing. this is a new pugh research poll shows 31% of americans say president obama is one of the best presidents they have seen in their lifetime. 31% say reagan was the second best. 13% say clinton. 10% say trump. kennedy is at 7%, both bushes tied at the bottom at 3%. at a time it seems like the americans are consumed with the president and what his base wants, interesting two democrats top the list of presidents, obama is number one. yeah, i think that a lot of this is wrapped up in age. a lot of people in the age group, millennial age group, obama and trump are the two presidents they know. it doesn t surprise me they liked obama. it wasn t surprising to me reagan was up the list a little bit as well. it doesn t surprise me president
law school. everybody else, even if you broaden out the list a little bit, went to another very fine law school but not an ivy league. they would be portrayed as somebody more from the heartland of the country. if indeed judge kavanaugh gets it, we ll remain with the supreme court entirely made up of ivy leaguers. the president has said he s fond of the playbook he used to pick neil gorsuch, his first choice to be on the u.s. supreme court. the reports are that he s using that same playbook this time around. from your vantage, how is the process different this time around? obviously you have this self-imposed deadline the president put in place to name somebody by 9:00 p.m. on monday. how is the conversation this time around different from what it was like those first few months that president trump was on the job? it s actually pretty similar from what we re getting from the white house. we have a pretty good sense of who is on the short list, obviously we ll see whether that is a
gotten a higher percentage of the vote. of course they are still counting them up. she could climb in this list a little bit. but she did get more popular votes than any loser before, more popular votes than a lot of candidates who have won. but when you look at the percentage, there are some candidates who have lost races who have done better than hillary clinton did. a little bit of perspective. a little bit of context as that popular vote total continues to come in. that s our most important number of the day today. ahead, did a fake news story lead to an almost deadly shooting in washington, d.c.? a man with tan assault weapon opened fire inside a popular pizza spot there. he claims it was because of a story that made the rounds during the presidential campaign. i m going to talk that over with our political panel next. what about the people i care about? .including this little girl. and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the b
