two ways, not just you've got some sort of carter, teddy kennedy thing going on, not a george bush buchanan going on, but it's being split. the left, the center, and the right. on the right, you have the southern segregationist democrats. franklin roosevelt had talked to good game with black civil rights. but he really hadn't done anything. remember that the army and the navy in world war ii are still segregated. there is no move to desegregate anything in the country. harry truman proposes a big civil rights program at the beginning of the 1948 year. the southern democrats are simply aghast by this, and beyond, that they feel personally betrayed because they had thought of harry truman as one of their own. his mother, had been an internment camp run by the unions during the single war. confederate sympathizers. and if you look at harry's statements, and you look at his private correspondence, he is not exactly a bleeding heart liberal on the topic. but, he puts it forward, and the southerners are aghast. they start talking about a strategy in which they will punish harry truman. they will punish the democratic party. they will make the democ

center. this unexpected turn leaves the outcome of the november election even more up in the air. joining me now, jonathan alter. he is also the author of "his very best: jimmy cartert is the first comprehensive book on jimmy carter's life out there. let's get to what is going on. what do you make of the president's condition? of the last few hours? how do you determine the conflicting information that we have gotten, jonathan? >> first, i wish the president and mrs. trump a speedy recovery. we need to hold him accountable for some truly disturbing performance on this. not just overall in terms of combatting a pandemic, where i think it has been a public health menace for many months now. he has been saying that real men don't wear masks, that has been his message here. and by some estimates that caused as many as 90,000 lives. so the message from the top is very important. what we're learning today, alex, is that he is also a personal public health menace. he learned before he went to a fu fundraiser that he tested positive. think of the implications of that. the countless people he exposed to the virus knowingly. this is deeply irresponsible personal behavior. es

carter and we'll talk about their marriage. >> another thing we wanted to highlight at the charles evans hughes conference center was the importance of mrs. hughes in justice hughes' life. we've selected for that reason a wedding invitation, their wedding invitation and a photograph of the two of them in their prime. mrs. hughes was the daughter of walter carter, who was the senior partner in the hughes law firm. and as lore would have it, justice hughes met mrs. hughes as a office holiday party where she was there with her father. she was a very educated woman and influential in his life. he also had three daughters who together with mrs. hughes, i think, or we believe had a great affect on his views, including his support of women's suffrage among other things. >> and last week we learned in our program that the partners were not partners in politics. mrs. deb stayed home while jean deb was campaigning all the time. what about these two as a political couple? >> getting back to their marriage, their courtship is very slow. they meet a few times. it's like every few months or something, and because she is the boss's daughter, he
