butgt george washington, ulysses grant during the civil war was the only president to a ever get arrested twice on horseback drinking as president. he and trump would get along great these days. these people really made a mark. we have a culture now that is trying to strip everything about history out of our i guess the repertoire of our kids growing up. i have three kids. i don't want them to grow up in a world that forgets some of the greatest momentsi but also the worst moments in life are the ones that shape us the best. the wrestler in high school and college i always tell people the most i learned was from the match that i lost. if we erase those stories, we are doomed to repeat it. every country, every empire, everything in the history of the world has always had some sort of downfall. when they've gotten weaker and weaker they become this problem and there'sa a saying we had a general on this evening who took the words right out of my mouth and said hard times create hard many apartment create good times come soft and create hard times. and the only way we can stop that cycle is t

they were expecting big protests and they greased up the statue of general ulysses grant so that peoplete. thankfully they did not materialize in a way that they expected. but this is a very committed group of protesters that has descended on chicago as we saw across the country earlier this year. i wanted to ask you about president biden's departure from the race. this is what you said on another network not too long ago. >> i think president biden just made one of the most selfless decisions of any elected official i have ever seen in choosing to step aside and let his trusted and valued vice president step forward as our standard bearer for the selection. he always wanted to be a transition to the next generation of leadership. >> he did say in the early going he wanted to be a transition president but then he changed his mind on that and i don't expect that he thought he was going to hand over the baton so soon. you were very close to him. you were his campaign chairman peered you are both from delaware. what do you think about how this all went down? >> joe biden got more done in o

in 1872 and 1896 presidents ulysses grant and benjamin harrison both swapped their existing vice presidentserms. that didn't happen for almost 50 years when in a 1940 resident franklin delano roosevelt swapped his vp for his third run for the presidency and when roosevelt ran for a fourth time in 1944 he swapped his vp out and this time for the missouri senator harry truman who would ultimately step in as president after roosevelt's death. those switches happened before the party's convention. the republican national convention has come and gone and the official nominee was donald trump and j.d. vance to the ticket. let's say hypothetically trump decided he and vance weren't a match made in heaven. trump could technically still choose a new running mate as long as it happens before state filing deadlines to be on the ballot. each state's deadline is different but the earliest deadlines fall at the beginning of september and wouldn't be as simple as trump handpicking someone new and all of a sudden lawn signs change. according to the republican national committee rules adopted in 2020, vacan

ulysses grant's second vice present wrote history books. teddy roosevelt thought about going to law school. harry truman played poker. i mean, there wasn't that much to look. they didn't even have an office in the white house because they were presidents senate. they hung out on capitol hill, in the capitol. they had offices there. no president actually even gave them an office in the white house until lyndon johnson came along. he's the first one to argue to get office in the white house complex. and even then, he didn't get it in the white house itself. he only got it in the executive office building across the street. so, you know, perhaps not surprisingly, not all of them particularly like the president they were serving for vice president thomas hendricks, for instance, was no fan of grover cleveland. in fact, he tried to get him removed from the ticket on the grounds that cleveland was morally unfit because of a sex scandal. as valerie haider of the library of congress wrote, their relationship improved only when hendricks died. in no

the white house inventory was so named for henry wilson ulysses grant second term vice president, but nobody had the nerve to tell nixon that over the past two decades, however, wilson's once lofty reputation has collapsed his name has been scrubbed from schools and other places of honor, including at princeton, the university. he almost single handedly, elevated from mediocrity to greatness. now many of the charges levied against wilson are true. he was an anti-black racist. his administration did impose a much more formalized and radical segregation upon the federal workforce. he failed to act against the wave of pogroms that convulsed american cities in the summer of 1919, just in the city of chicago 38 dead, two thirds of them black, hundreds injured, maybe 2000. who lost homes again, almost all of them black of the greatest challenge on the greatest challenge of his presidency, the first world war, the wilson record is mostly one of failure over the in 1916, wilson tried to negotiate a compromise peace between the allies and the central powers didn't happen. he to prepare for the
