johnson is that person. in 1789, a newly elected george washington stood in new york's federal hall for the first inaugural address. at the time, washington was already the great american hero. he led the nation to victory and its war for independence. he yielded his power to congress once independence was assured. but when that new form of government became necessary, his presence alone gave credibility to the constitutional convention and when the framers built the presidency they assumed washington would have it. but on that spring day, as washington came to address a joint meeting of the congress, he explained that the sacred fire of liberty, the destiny of the four model of government wide not with him, but was interested to the hands of the american people. it is in our hands that we hold the democracy that is so precious. since the united states capital historical society gave our first freedom award on the bicentennial of washington laying the capital cornerstone, recipients have included lynn banwell miranda, a filmmaker like ken burns, a historian like david mccullough, journalist like cokie roberts, eve

when people run for president, think of what happened to lyndon johnson, gerald ford couldn't get reelected, ronald reagan, george reelected and so forth. a great job but a lot of challenges to it. a lot of people don't vote. 160 million people in the president election, 160 million. of people who were eligible didn't vote. we encourage people to learn the presence. and try to vote. we've lost millions of men in combat to protect the right to vote and many people don't exercise the right to vote. neil: the instances you will you to, might argue created donald trump and his possible return to the white house. did his predecessors make that happen? >> his predecessors did a number of things that helped lead to the calamity we had on the bailout but no one person deserves the blame and numbers of congress involved as well but we have a similar situation now, $35 trillion indebtedness. its foreign and domestic. we are paying more on interest on that debt with the defense budget. the country's currency goes down in value. the reserve currency is the most valued currency. neil: is not resonating with voters, it's not e

george w bush obviously republican didn't succeed him. lyndon johnson, there was no democrat who succeeded him. harry truman mean no democrat who succeeded him. now we're looking at joe biden, couldn't democrat succeed him despite his net approval rating being as low as it is. history isn't so kind. but again, we're really just looking at a sample size of three. but the bottom line is i think we can say joe biden is a drag on kamala harris, despite her own popularity, at least measured through net favorability, going forward he can make a distinction or and should dig into it when we're talking about popularity, are we talking about approval, job performance, or favourability, how you feel about how people feel about exactly one favors kamala harris, the net favorability rating, the approval ratings. >> i think favorite donald trump given that yet 51% who think his presidency was a success, let's see what the story tells us as we go toward school, harry, thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> all right. >> thank you. >> knew this hour a high-speed chase of a
