party within the democratic party. o get back to the republican party there are civil rights republicans outside the south but there are more moderate republicans. and in states that have -- in which african-americans constitute a significant voting bloc those mod ral republicans who may have been sort of on the fence on the question of civil rights came to realize that -- eventually came to realize that it was probably in their political interests to make support for civil rights legislation bipartisan. that is, bipartisan in which moderate republicans joined liberal democrats in the north to support civil rights. and that would be the coalition in congress that supported -- that eventually ended up passing the civil rights act of 1964. it was obviously a very intense struggle. southern congressmen put up a lengthy filibuster to try to kill civil rights legislation. democrats in congress had used the filibuster to defeat something like five civil rights bills on the floor. finally, the civil -- i mean, a civil rights a

there's two democratic parties. the african-american politicians of the democratic party are, you know, procivil rights, are supporting civil rights. the republican party is a little bit more of a mixed bag. you have certainly anticivil rights and prosegregation republicans -- well, there are no republicans in the south, basically. the south is a one-party political system dominated by democrats under the sign of white supremacy. >> for all intents and purposes are white conservatives, right? >> they're white conservatives, absolutely. there are white southern democrats who did support fdr's new deal reform legislation. they supported social security. but their support was conditioned on their ability to administer social security in a discriminatory way, so that what happened was one of the mississippi congressmen who was influential in drafting the social security legislation basically struck from all of the occupations eligible for social security benefits agricultural workers and domestic workers. and in that in

so there is two democratic parties, and the african-american politicians in the democratic party are pro-civil rights, supporting civil rights. the republican party more of a mixed bag. you have certainly anti-civil rights and anti-segregation republicans, well, there are no republicans in the south, basically. the south is a one-party political system dominated by democrats under white supremacy, and for all intents and purposes are white conservatives. there are white southern democrats who did support fdr's new deal reform legislation. they supported social security, but their support was toditioned on their ability administer social security in discriminatory way. one of thepened was, mississippi congressmen who was influential in drafting social security legislation basically the occupations eligible for social security benefits mastic workers and agricultural workers, so in one fell swoop excluded african-americans from social security. that is what i need when i say the democratic party had disproportionate power within the party. and to get back to the republican party, there

the democratic party had this disproportionate power within the democratic party.ust to get but there are more moderate republicans. in states that have yuck enrich african americans constitute a significant voting bloc. those modern republicans who may have been sort of on the fence on the question of civil rights came to realize, eventually came to realize it was probably in their political interest to make support for civil rights legislation bipartisan. that is bipartisan in which moderate republicans joined liberal democrats in the north to support civil rights. that would be the coalition in congress that supported and eventually ended up passing the civil rights act of 1964. it was actually an intense struggle. they put up a lengthy photo buster to try to kill civil rights legislation -- i'm sorry democrats and congress have used the filibuster to feed something like five civil rights bills and finally a civil rights act was passed in 1957 but it was a very watered down bill that really didn't change the situation of african americans and they didn't make th

i would i would argue that the republican party suffers from many of the same things as the democratic party is that all parties are so hostage to their donor class ok because what we have much to the surprise because of the polling is that i wouldn't call it a red wave but it was a certainly a strong red ripple that we saw and in this past election here and these were this these were i would say more populous and then they would be for a standard bearer and g.o.p. candidates which are about. i don't have to just respectfully disagree if it was so that voters donald trump would have never been elected in 2016 this is more so the republicans more so a grass roots and that's actually blowing up and we've seen that in the in the down balloting in terms of how many seats and blue areas or purplish areas actually flipped to read at the same time where you know currently vice president biden is projected to be the winner it to be. in january as you reported if if the legal battles don't come to fruition so we really look at it there it's going back to your original question with respect to the div

thanks so much well robert cnn's mccarty sellers offered a steaming critique of the democratic party's neglect of black men do you agree or disagree with his assessment and if you agree what can the democratic party do to be inclusive and responsive to the needs of black men. well corey and andrew what's been very nice about what the democratic party thinks of african-american men of this is not something new you know a lot of also you can go back to over deceit jetson statements afterwards obama will do but the word so has its top notorious statement off camera about feeling castrated by the democratic party and not advocating you know african-american issues the problem is that all the. army are important to black men. somehow it gets the base of the democratic party african-american men are generally more fiscally conservative they're more into the entrepreneurship they're more interested in family values of them perhaps one of progressive base so the idea is to get them to be quiet long enough that they can so you can combat any support from other parts of your base and keep kickin

the democratic party has become so corrupt.utes we have left, in the 1990s the communist chinese through the military poured millions of dollars into the clinton campaign, clinton library, dnc and regret candidates. millions of dollars. this has been in testimony and under oath and this is the record. we have all kinds of dark money that went into the biden campaign and over three and a million dollars and there seems to be no interest whatsoever to find out where the money came from and i am interested in knowing. who gave the biden campaign the third of a quarter of a billion dollars through the back door and was, i don't know, was any of that money from the communist chinese? >> yeah, great question beard wanda needs to be explored and yet there is no curiosity by most of the media. i also think, mark, what is happened in the mid- 90s the chinese were unsophisticated about this. they said we want to get access to bill clinton so we will just make campaign donations that will funnel funnel money to his campaign and they ended

with his assessment and if you agree what can the democratic party do to be inclusive and responsive to the needs of black men. well because you have to endure what's been very nice about what the democratic party thinks of african-american men of this is not something new you know oddball so you can go back to robert to suggest some statements after prince obama will do but there were so has this top notorious statement off camera about feeling castrated by the democratic party and not advocating for you know african-american and shoots the problem is that all the. army are important to black men. somehow it gets the base of the democratic party african-american men are generally more fiscally conservative they're more into that entrepreneurship they're more interested in family values than perhaps one of the progressive base so the idea is to get you in to be quiet long enough so that you can so you can combat a support from other parts of your base and keep taking that can down the road so we're going to have to happen and so what we're going to call come to jesus meeting where th

to enter what's been very nice about what the democratic party thinks of african-american men of this is not something new you know of also you can go back to reverend jesse jackson statements afterwards obama will do what the word so has its top notorious statement off camera about feeling castrated by the democratic party and not advocating you know african-american issues the problem with all the. army are important to black men. somehow it gets the base of the democratic party african-american men are generally more fiscally conservative they're more interested entrepreneurship they're more interested in family values of them perhaps one of progressive base so the idea is to get them to be quiet long enough so they can bridge so you can convey the support from other parts of your base and keep taking that can down the road so we're going to have to happen and what we're going to call come to jesus meeting where the democratic party sits down and finds out what gender i don't they can actually put forward that will that will help african-american men but also one that moved through

and the democrat party has become so co.ou this in a few minutes we have left, the 1990s communist chinese military, pouring millions of dollars into the clinton campaign, the clinton library, dnc and democrat candidates, millions of dollars. this is in testimony, under oath, this is the record. we have all kinds of dark money that went into the biden campaign. over $300 million. there seems to be no interest whatever to find out where the money came from. i am interested in knowing. who gave the biden campaign a third of a quarter of the billing dollars through the back door and was, i don't know, was any of that money from the communist chinese? >> that's a great question. one that needs to be explored and yet, there's no curiosity by most of the media. i also think what happened in the mid 90s, the chinese were unsophisticated about this. they said we want access to bill clinton so we're just going to make campaign donations, funnel money to his campaign and they end up getting caught. what's happened since then, they've

democratic party. john breaken ridge of kentucky, southern wing e of the democratic party. and john bell of tennessee, constitutional union party. during this election, mr. southern states, the slave-holding southern tates were fearful, they were very fearful that if elected abraham lincoln would find a way and deprive them of their slaves. 240 years, d of southern plantation owners had citizens who can transshipped from the couldn continent of africa. 4, 1789, this addressed the issue of slavery. it contained a provision that the slave trade for at least 20 years after the the constitution until january 1, 1809. end of the egal slave trade occurred in 1809,

and there are reports that "fresh battles" are brewing over the soul of the democratic party. just this weekend, bernie sanders echoed with "the squad" and others have been saying for weeks now. >> the progressive movement itself probably is 35 or 40% of the democratic coalition. and i believe that the progressive movement deserves seats in the cabinet. that has not yet happened. >> as per aggressive as we are still looking to see more of us as part of the transition team. >> the answer is we need to shift power. we need to make sure that we have a transition of power in the leadership of the democratic party. >> will: representing 35 to 40% of the democratic coalition. joining me now, ben domenech, and mollie hemingway and a fox news contributor. glad to have you both with me tonight. i think what unique moment in american history, -- what's go to the republican party in just a moment. we will go to the debate happening now and the cause of congress. i want to start with the democrats. we will start with the left. then, you and i have talked recently about the lurch, the far l

congressman john lewis died at the age of 82 an odd quirk in georgia law meant the georgia democratic party had just three days to decide who they wanted to nominate in his seat. the state of georgia, the whole country was only just starting to mourn the passing of john lewis, this icon of civil rights and american civic virtue, this moral giant who walked among us. but even in the initial plush of grief in this passing georgia democrats had to make this lightening fast decision who they wanted to replace him on the ballot. and those allies who knew him best, his parties in the home state of georgia they chose state senator nikema williams. just a few months earlier, she'd become the first black woman to be elected the leader of the georgia democratic party. last month in the november elections not only did senator nikema williams win her house race, she'll take john lewis' seat in congress in january.

this is basically saying this is not the democratic party of just a few years ago. this is a party that is openly preaching marxism, more redistribution, more government control, unlimited censorship. it is not the party of the working class, and it's going to help the working class voters and the folks regardless of earth us inty in georgia. he's -- ethnicity in georgia. he's absolutely right about that. elizabeth: yeah, it's an important point because the democrat platform going back to the kennedy election in the early '60s was about small businesses, entrepreneurialism,

in the inside the democratic party there's a conflict striving. you can see it if you look closely at what's happened to climate you know back about 2 weeks take a look at the internet 2 weeks ago look for democratic party climate for the pretty progressive program was biden's program forced on biden he didn't choose it forced on biden by the progress or praise 'd. program or that any that it exist tailored if the same internet now. to fill in right tray and clipped democratic climate programs what you find is nothing they removed the d n the democratic national committee the d.n.c. basically clintonite donor oriented democrats managed in a big power play to remove biden's progressive climate program that's a battle inside the democratic party is very rather similar to what we just saw and britain. where 'd the blairite right wing labor party or them entry labor party managed undermine the korban campaign in a really vicious matter very powerful 800 page deterrent study of how they did it which is being mostly pressed in the british press area or

we need to make sure that we have a transition of power in the leadership of the democratic party. >> hannity: joining us now author of a brand new best seller, pete hegseth along with ari fleisher. i agree with alexandria ocasio-cortez. but it's very revealing when democrats talk about conservatives, trump supporters, republicans, isn't it? it's how they really feel, right? >> sean, i really look at this the same way i do when reporters go on twitter and we can see what their actual leanings are and the bias comes pouring out. i'm so glad that she said that because republicans need to go into the new biden administration with eyes wide open. joe biden is not a bipartisan leader. he has never been one. he is a very partisan man. he can talk that line. the press will let him get away with talking that line. we need to remember the people surrounding him and he himself, their leanings will be to cut republicans down at every stretch that they can, embarrass republicans. i'm glad she said it. now we know who we're dealing with. >> hannity: i don't think this is a bold prediction, pete, b

first of all, barack obama, sean, is a dinosaur within the democratic party. is wrestling with the word "defund the police." all you have to do is look at cori bush. according to the democrats, eliminate the police. for the call of your question, the race issue. itis is not a question about michelle's mom and white people. police protection is an american issue. it's not based on race. what he is trying to do is walk it back because he is out of step with the democratic party. they want to eliminate the police. minnesota, l.a., the vice president-elect once took away $150 million. so the issue of defunding the police, that is what the democrats want to do, and barack obama is having a hard time with this new socialist democratic party. one other point, sean. i've been watching d.c. on the trump hotel, and i got the gift that you, larry, and i decided to give president trump tomorrow. i will deliver it to him tomorrow. >> sean: larry, when he felt people were losing status when he was president, but both because of the fact i didn't look like -- a sense that my

although he came from the north, buchanan realized that the viability of the democratic party continued on the south slave driven economy. from king, he learned the value of allowing the institution to grow unchecked. from buchanan, king learned a commitment to party and union yielded large political rewards. both men equally detested abolitionists, whom they labeled as fanatics. critics may have labeled king as ast nancy and needs buchanan doe face, but the two men pressed forward in the hopes of one day rising to higher office. in this, they succeeded. elected vice president, the nation mourned the death of william rufus king one year later, eulogizing him as among the last of a generation of older statesmen committed to union. buchanan was lauded as a staunch conservative and savior of the union. as president he upheld the constitution as he thought protected southern rights and , their slaves, and critically unwilling to quash southern secession during the winter of 1860-1861. for his actions, this presidency has been labeled as weak and pro-southern. but in truth, buchanan had long

as well as the reason i ran for president myself in 2004 was challenging the democratic party well i was born my parents were republican they became democrats in the sixty's when john kennedy and lyndon johnson supported the civil rights movement both johnson and kennedy had some baggage that we didn't like but they were better than nixon so i think that you deal with choice when you're trying to get where you can even if it is then of course steps you know you're not looking for perfection you're looking for liberation reverend al sharpton i'll stop you have more from the leisure resort rights activist after this short break. it will be very difficult to forget the there's a petition in featuring 2020 change was the norm and all knowledge is elusive many is reflected on what has been. the focus should be on what meat we can. welcome back i'm still here with the author of rise up reverend al sharpton how difficult has it being i mean the there's a scene in this book when there you are trying to create a better world. and i understand how gore says to you what do i tell jewish voters j

wow. >> and i'm doing that -- >> what a journey. >> -- because in america today, it's only the democratic partywhich is the oldest political party in the world, that stands for the ideas and ideals of american liberty. it's a broad, big tent party. i understand ideologically where i come from isn't anywhere close to being, you know, the mean opinion of the party on some issues, but i think, for me in this hour, for the balance of my life and my participation in politics, i'm not independent in this fight anymore. >> joining us now is steve schmidt, former republican strategist. he's an msnbc political analyst and co-founder of the lincoln project. and, steve, welcome to the side that is not independent anymore. this is -- this is a very important moment. i do think historians will note that the person who's doing everything he could to get john mccain elected president some years later turned against that party because of what that party has become. and you could have stayed in the independent status. what made you take that step from independent over to registered democrat? >> well, i think, l

it was bill clinton and al gore and others that formed a right way into the democratic party called the democratic leadership conference democratic leadership council which i talk about in the book and they were trying to bring the party away from what they felt was the left for the progressives and by lead with jesse jackson's campaign who was a mental model i ran to try to bring it back from this triangulation is moving the party to the right and i think that it has been followed as i talk about in the book by elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and others and i think that is all been an intra party struggle that has now moved the party more toward which should be but is still not all the way we ought to be but it is still in my judgment much better than the republicans that don't move at all in any area toward the trying to have an equal and fair society you see we talk to young activists who want people to vote by them this time around they appear to say things haven't changed that much there's all sorts of propaganda against bernie sanders supporters people on the left what is the

he is explaining what he thought the democratic party was for. what it's always stood for, and if it was going to last as a party, what it would continue to stand for. >> [inaudible] [inaudible] that's johnson before he accepted the nomination. he's been pushed through the wringer. he's been up for several nights and days. this is what his brain reflexive we went to. this is what i stand for. this is with a party that i've been a part of since the 1930s, for the past few decades, this is what they stand. for when someone asks what do they stand for. lyndon johnson get the down in this one minute. i have a second clip to play, maybe we could talk more but in questions, this comes in negotiations for the voting rights act and 1965. what i want to insert here is that in 1960, four there is a rebirth, or rededication of the conservative movement. many people who look at this moment look at the campaign as transforming the republican party. i like the suggestion to go back and see the transformation in the republican party that emergence. go to the dem

where do you think the democratic party is headed? oing to succeed in just being a kind of mainstream, traditional sort of clinton-type president, or the party moving in a much more aggressive direction? >> my money's certainly on the latter proposition. you see the biden administration if, you know, matt mentioned it, it's kind of obama retreads, right? the biden administration appears to be the is sequel, right? and the original wasn't that good to begin with. i do think they're going the try to tow a clintonian-centrist line, but the failures of trying to enact that especially with what will likely be a divided congress, i think it'll only incentivize an aoc squad-type, left-wing, you know, woke intersectional uprising. so that is certainly where my money was placed if i were placing wagers on the future of the democratic party. we are so far removed from the clintonian notion of the era of big government is over. obama, the 2008 and 2012 obama/biden platforms by today's standards are positively quaint. so is i think the direction o

guest: you have the democratic party for some time saying they want more spending, they want a spending bill that addresses unemployment benefits, extends benefits for people who lost their jobs during the pandemic. they want to spend more money to make up for the revenue shortfall that cities and states have suffered, you're seeing public transit entities and municipal agencies cutting back spending. to reducedng to lead services but also job losses. that will be an early focus of the administration. the question is what is going to be possible to get through congress and the runoff elections for torture next month -- for georgia month which will decide the majority. you begin to wonder what the administration might do through executive action and other moves. host: let's me ask you about another nominee. neera tanden is to run the office of management and budget, the white house budget rector in effect. telus -- budget director in effect. tell us about her. guest: she has been the head of a think tank in washington, the center for american progress. she was an advisor to hillary clint

party tie." a later image from the 1890's lampoons the statesmanship that bound the democrat and populist parties together. here again i want to underscore, the importance of studying the language of the period. tracing the means of words is an -- words and phrases across time is an especially useful exercise. it allows us to be precise, get a better understanding of our research subjects. generally speaking, the insults levied against buchanan and king were done in a private correspondence of their opponents, such as the confidential letter. when the language did appear in print, it often did so in the columns of the opposition party's newspapers. it is therefore important to distinguish between private gossip and public gossip. both were meant to insult, but the context matters in trying to decipher the sexual meeting of these words. oding intimacy is another such word requiring explanation. today, the word primarily connotes a physical closeness. back then, it conveyed a shared trust on a personal level. politicians like you and king understood associations with other public meant to include d

we need to make sure that we have a transition of power in the leadership of the democratic party. one leading the charge to shut down amazon's 25,000 jobs in new york city, the city really needs now during covid shutdowns. so even the democrat governor of our own state said you were wrong about that. so go far left? is this where the entire democrat party is headed, congressman? okay we're having technical difficulties there. we are so sorry, we've got some, you know, some problems here. we'll straighten them out. we thank you, congressman for joining us. up next, retireddites acting director tom homan, mexico's hammering the u.s. we warned you it was coming. mexico passed a new law that handcuffs the dea, the fbi, the cia, i.c.e., operating inside of mexico to battle drug cartels. a.g. barr says that this will empower violent drug cartels and gangs like ms-13 and it could make border crimes even worse. that story with tom homan next. this holiday, get the phones everyone wants on the 5g america's been waiting for. verizon 5g is next level. now get one of our best 5g phones on us w

additionally people at the list before and represented something like 30 to 40 percent of the democratic party and yet man not a single one joe biden's administration pics are reflective of the progress that we were going up from the progressive movement nobody from the bernie camp has been managed to be given a single appointment another group that he nodded to specifically was african-americans black leaders are perceived to have really put joe biden over the line namely in south carolina where jim clyburn a black congress spent that particular stature gave him a last minute endorsement that was able to help fight and win that state and turn around a string of embarrassing primary last week important it place and yes the news from last week was a leaked call black think you're heads from all of the major civil rights organizations in america and which biden was largely dismissed in a very very you know just discrete considerate request for their various. groups organizing groups right and it's not clear that even without public pressure in the end there isn't that call being leaked that ther

she had the democratic party needs new leadership. also said there's been a failure to groom new democratic leaders, i think specifically she was also talking about the house, but to get rid of some of the democratic leaders that that would create a vacuum. so it's set up as a situation where it can't be done, but she says there should be new leadership. what do you think about what she said? >> well, i think the democratic party is a large umbrella, and we welcome automatic voices and all diversity. i think that's the strength of the democratic party. i know, for example, i've been able to participate in the democratic party on everything from policy issues to helping pass legislation, even in a trump administration. i'm very comfortable with where we can come together and work together. that's my focus, to come together as a party to work for the american people. we still have to pass another stimulus bill. we still have to get our kids back in school safely. we have to get more vaccine, more vials of vaccine so that americans can ge

that is normal tension within the democratic party.states is somewhere in the middle and that holds true for democrats as well. it is not an enormous part of the party that ocasio-cortez represents. she is very smart, she is highly articulate, very charismatic. she has really elevated the progressive wing of the democratic party. when she talks about the leadership issue particularly, she is kind of right. these are older members of congress. they have been in the jobs, schumer in the senate, pelosi in the house for quite some time and it is also not unusual for younger members of the congress to be pushing for greater leadership roles. she has a long way to go though because again, this is not a enormous section of the democratic party that she represents. these are established politicians who are in leadership roles. connell: if someone like an aoc as we're having stimulus today in washington still up until this very hour to push for something like direct payments, sending people checks again, you would say okay, i think she is in fa
