and so i think that that idea of lincoln as a peacemaker really influences the way he approaches politics later in life. he was very active in the wake party in the 1840. he would travel around on circuit as a lawyer, trying cases, and then in the evening often would give political speeches. his political hero was henry clay, which is controversial. henry clay was a slave owner. what lincoln most admired about henry, of course, was his tendency toward compromise. his willingness to hear all sides of an argument. but that said, abraham lincoln always disliked slavery. he served one term in congress between 1847 and 1849. he stepped out of politics and does not return to politics with both feet until 1854, which is surprising for us because, of course, in 1850, a huge political event occurred. in 1850, congress passed a huge compromise measure known as the compromise of 1850. and i think most americans believed that that would resolve a lot of the political differences that were arising between the north and the south. southerners had been threatening secession going all the way back to the

lincoln ■lisince the founders have died off, we don't have the muscle memory for democracy the way wengs how do we get those feelings to the oper lev?d, educate nation. democracy has to beit be cared d cultivated on an ongoingis and i think this is what lincoln is getting at. you know, it's not. ll■7, the founders established it and we're good know each generation is charged with democracy. one way that i think ordinary american citizens can help shore up our democracy■v and uphold or representative government is to understand that americans, citizens are■l all this togethe, that a holding the republic is not a partizan thing, that upholding the■í■1ans recognizing the humanity of each r. really potent right now,the constantly rile u, which seems to befó are present political mode, unfortunately. but i think that does pose a danger to the republic in the long run, because if to that degree inyou won't see them as fellow citizens. you will see them as the would n over your internal enemy. that's the only way aló through suicide. i think not from lincoln's lyceum address, butonk about mo

on his way to the presidency, lincoln's invi to a brief reception in the capital of new jersey, the capitalmore than half of theielecralincoln. lincoln gives the short speech and he closes the speech by saying, hey, i know that most of you didn't vote for me. most as. the representative man of the country. but you are by holding this reception, under the constitution i am going to be the nextates. and he says, i value party in reception morthan h friends. what he was saying was, thisfore itself, it has to produce after election after election, good winners and good losers. citizens. eventually of 11 southern states were■÷ unwilling to do that. they proved in my mind, be bad losers. lincoln goes into his presidency in march of 1861, very naively believing that he can still compromise w south. in his first inaugural address on march 4th, 1861he pleads with white southerners not to go to war. hees concessions them on the slavery issue. he says that he willotslavery. it already exists, and that he'll, in fact the fugitive slave act of 1850, because as the executive anf the government, that's wh

in only one way, it propelled lincoln's calm at the world. well, little note nor long remember what we here. a prediction that turned out to be quite wrong. she even criticized reagan's, calling him an average of performer and. editorial in the guardian hit. listen to the incredibly negative language and the the the arrogance of the language. they talked about reagan's homespun. amy ability and said the president, a senior citizen who when crisis breaks, is left to slip up. the editorial concluded that very little can be built on the president world words which reflects his benign blank helplessness. it is revealing that some of the most positive comment in the british press about the speech referenced the president's use of a teleprompter, which they'd seen before. in their view, it was a failed speech in style and substance, and the only thing that mattered was that reagan used the magic of the teleprompter. the press reaction in the united states was, i think we could say tepid, not quite lukewarm. they wear, many of the commentators argue

the scenes as a way of telling her story, but also trying to vindicate mary lincoln a bit because as she's said, since she was involved with this, this woman so closely, she needed to show that she was upright in her own activities as well. the problem is, is that she then gave some letters to her editor that were included in the book, and they were very personal about the lincolns. and she essentially became persona non grata with most lincoln people. and most of us now know her because of that lincoln story. so my connection with this and what i wrote about in the essay is when i was an undergraduate, i wrote a senior seminar paper on elizabeth keckley and i kind of this is terrible, but i kind of promised myself, like, if i got an a on this paper, i will go to her grave in washington, d.c., because i got an a, but we never doubted. now, sometimes you do have to doubt, but but the problem was, as i had access to johnny washington's they knew lincoln which includes information about her her funeral expenses. it has a photo of her tombstone and you know, it describes where it is and

lincoln's calm story-telling key. and history has a way of repeating itself.ery soon donald trump and joe biden will square off at cnn's presidential debate in what's the most consequential debate since. the nation is watching to see if joe biden has what it takes for 90 minutes and whether donald trump has the discipline to calmly tell the story about life in america under two presidents. democrats say this election is about the most important election of our life times. donald trump would be a dictator for life. now we don't even really know if they believe that but we know this. democrats are on the brink of a full progressive takeover of america. four more years under joe biden and kamala harris. many believe would cripple our sovereignty. our finances and our culture. donald trump believes joe biden is an incompetent and ignorant lifelong politician who is controlled by the extreme left and mismanaged the country into bolivian with open borders, inflation, and a stark deterioration in the quality of life. the former president is leading joe biden the majo

is so important to guiding us in ways to hold the country together, and what lincoln said to hold the, all men are created equal. we have been talking about what that means, and as long as we can have those arguments and discussions and still accept the outcome of the arguments every two and four years, which we call elections, then we can keep the country together. we can keep american democracy strong, but once we cross over a red line and refuse to accept the will of the majority gets to rule and we turn to political violence substituting our own will for the will of the people, then we have a real problem. i do think people had faith in their neighbors, as chris said, and the country's ability to get through it. >> the book is called "back roads and better angels." a great trip. >> i highly recommend traveling cross-country. >> thank you for being here, and congrats, again. >>> still ahead, elizabeth warren and martin henrik of new mexico will join us. the virus that causes shingles is sleeping... in 99% of people over 50. and it could strike at any time. think you're not at risk?
