senator byrd, senator harry byrd, led a pushback to brown v. board of education that came to be known as massive resistance. he believed that communities should push back to this requirement to desegregate schools and that if virginia pushed back, then the south would get behind them. and if the south, you know, refused to desegregate its schools, then the rest of the country would realize that they were never going to get on board. i don't know if he hoped that the case would be overturned. i'm not sure what his logic was there. but that was his thinking, right? and so there were a lot of people in south side, virginia, where prince edward county is located, that supported that logic. and so they -- and in prince edward county and other locations, they formed this group called the defenders of state sovereignty and individual liberties. and in farmville that group suggested -- just six months after the brown hearings, the brown decision -- that perhaps closing the schools was something they should do to avoid desegregation if push came to shov

i'm thinking about senator byrd before you who spent so much time. that your interest in history is not as shared among as in the old days? senator mcconnell: i don't really know but i know there are who read a lot of american history. i've always been interested in it. thesis, i did my senior in college on henry clay and the compromise compromise of 1850. i have a depiction of that, which i'll show you, subsequently. so i've always had an interest in it. and once i moved into this office and became republican theer, we got interested in history of this space and produced a pamphlet that sort of outlines the various things that have occurred here over the years. int: what did it look like 1800? senator mcconnell: well, you smallererything was then. there's a plaque in the hall that points out that in 1800 this would have been shortly after they got here the house of met inntatives actually this space and conducted the 36 ballot election that determined that thomas jefferson would be occurred in this space. host: right here. senator mcconnell: right i

presidents jeb bush, senator john mccain, bruce rauner, senator mark kirk of illinois, senator richard byrd of north carolina, they all say they're not coming to the convention. senator kelly ayote in tough race in new hampshire said it is unlikely. do you worry about some key leaders sitting it out? >> no. many of these people didn't come to the last two conventions and so, i think you have to kind of look at it that way. if they're in cycle, most of the time they're not coming to convention. off the top of my head you asking that, i don't think claire mccaskill went to convention four years ago, did she? i don't know if anyone made a big deal about it. it happens. people have make their own choices. >> as you know this is bigger issue. cnn diedra walsh reported quietly officials in the highest rung of republican pub leadership are advising rank-and-file members to stay away from cleveland. one top leader told them to hold rallies and town halls during the time. july convention a seniorsenate gop aide echoed that consensus. do you fear among your leaders that cleveland will be perhaps toxi

to vote republican at the top of the ticket and still voting for democrats and we still have robert byrd in the west virginia senate from the mid-1950s up until recently and we're just now seeing a republican senator from west virginia, but we see this shift. it really has to do with this kind of black and white divide in the south where white southerners really do start identifying with the republican party and it's a slow shift. but reagan is really the tipping point. as the charts show, we begin to see it becoming even more and more solid into the 2000s. >> paul, i want to go back and play you, because when you talk about past presidents, you'll make me bring up lbj. it is an interesting shift in the way democrats used to talk about poverty and marry urban and rural poverty together. you always wanted to make sure appalachia was mentioned as a way to make everyone have a stake it in. let's listen to lyndon johnson talking about the war on poverty. >> but whatever the costs, our joint federal-local effort must pursue poverty, pursue it wherever it exists. in city slums, in small towns.

i mean, we put out, me and my co-author, ayanna byrd, put out an anthology on black women and body imagein 2005 before a lot of the internet wave. and that book, the only reason why that book still exists is because my mother had seven book parties x my aunt had two book parties, and my auntie in texas had one, and, you know, people gave them to each other for the holidays. it just, like, basically you need somebody to, like, flood your personal market with what you have. and finally, you know, this idea of being socially inept i think makes sense to a certain extent, but i think also what people -- and i think this is what people have said earlier -- what people are drawn to is authenticity. so aye seen some of -- i've seen some of the most shy people in the world get up in front of people literally shaking and still connect with people because people, if people are here, they want to pay attention to what you have to say. it's not a show, you know? you not here to perform for -- you're not here to perform for people. so i really think even if you feel nervous or whatever, you shouldn't

let's get more with national political reporter from real clear politics, rebecca byrd, brianna keilarpeaker, it is a startling development. i don't remember a time we have seen anything like this develop shortly after republican national committee or a democratic national committee announces the presumptive nominee. >> first, let me say i am pleasantly surprised that donald trump is familiar with the speaker's agenda. that's good news, reassuring. but it is nothing short of stunning that today the republican speaker of the house came out and said he is not yet willing to endorse the presumptive republican nominee, and that is because paul ryan is a man of immense integrity, character and conservatism. some of the things donald trump sound unconservative and unconstitutional. that's an offense to paul ryan who believes deeply in causes of conservatism and acknowledges half of the republican party is not with donald trump, and donald trump needs to reach those voters to have a chance to beat hillary clinton. >> but ron brownstein, if that weren't enough, donald trump responds with this

byrd mine safety protection act to, among other things, make it a felony for mine operators to knowingly violate safety standards. six years and one day after 29 brave miners were tragically killed at the upper big branch mine in west virginia, former senator c.e.o. don blanken ship went to jail for one year in prison, the maximum that was allowed by the sentencing, for willfully conspiring to violate mine safety standards. put simply, madam president, the penalty does not fit the crime that was committed there. we aim to change that. i stood with the families of the beloved minors in the days -- miners in the days following the devastating tragedy up at big branch. through moments of hope and despair, i witnessed again and again the unbreakable bonds of family that are as strong or stronger than anything i've ever seen. while no sentence or amount of jail time will ever heal the hearts of the families who have been forever devastated, i believe that we have a responsibility to do everything that we can in congress to ensure that a tragedy like this never, ever happens again. i want to t

senator byrd spoke directly about the civil rights act in a 14-hour filibuster proclaiming that men are not equal today and 1776. t created equal in men and races of men differ in mental capacity, creativity and vision. the democratic party identified itself as the quote, white man's party, unquote and demonized the republican party as being dominated by african-americans. so it's interesting to hear these rewritten parts of our history. and when you know the hearts and minds of the people on the republican side of the aisle, you find out there's nobody that wants slavery. we wished that slavery that held this nation back because daniel webster used to preach and john quincy adams used to preach how was a good god going to keep blessing america when we were treating brothers and sisters in christ, putting them in chains and bondage? america was harmed. t was devastating to african-american lives, be placed in slavery, the humiliation. and i'm grateful to be part of the party that stood up and made the change. but more than the republican judeo christian beliefs especially in the 1700's

after you, that's a great thing to have something named after you, senator, my goodness you and lady byrda busy right across that bridge if that should happen, but i tell you what now, i have thurgood marshall and i'm set against making this happen. now the funny think about bridges they're built because of federal money, now, i hate senator to see this money at the last minute disappear and you have no bridge, your wife would be hurt, your family, all the people you have bragged to about this bridge in your name, it all will go up in smoke and i don't want that to happen and neither do you and there's no cause for it to happen. so that was the lyndon johnson style, you know, he would find a weak spot, he would find a sentimental spot just like he did with associate john clark, he wanted clark to step aside so he would have an opening for thu. >> guest: yes, yes. >> host: you have been very patient, you're on book tv with wil haygood. >> guest: good >> caller: good morning, i wasn't aware of my haygood. i find him an enjoyable interview every time i hear him. the reason why i'm calling is
