my jaw dropped as i skimmed the pages at the cornell library. names from the salem witch craft edcords left off -- leap off those pages. i was stunned more by that than any other source i have ever encountered in my long career as a historian. i was literally blown away. every page i turned had names that i knew well from the salem records. from then on, i knew that i had to write a dual narrative of war and witchcraft. that war and my knowledge of the item judges' role in supplied the answer to the question about why judges beieved to be -- believed to -- believed the afflicted people when they accused others of witchcraft. the judges, the maine records told me, were also the military leaders who were losing the war, and they were furthermore members of the governor's council who were advising him about the war. the analogy i like to use here is that, it would be as though the joint chiefs of staff were also justices of the supreme court and members of the president's cabinet. that is the government of massachusetts at the time. so to understan

cornell, i've been covering virginia politics a long time, i know the lieutenant governor.l about the speech he gave today bringing up lynchings in the same speech in which he defends himself on credible sexual assault allegations? >> hmm. i think it's important for us to appreciate the history here. so where there were at least 4,000 people lynched in america between the end of reconstruction and 1950, at least a hundred or so in the state of virginia. to create an analogy or make the analogy with lynching is a very serious thing. i want to note a couple of things that are very different. the two people who are accusing him of a crime are not two white men in hoods, but rather two african-american women, point one. point two, lynching was in fact an extra judicial -- lynchings were extrajudicial murders, vigilante justice. these women are not seeking to have him at the end of a rope but in front of a committee or investigatory body. the analogy with lynching is inaccurate and inappropriate. the lieutenant governor can call for due process, that doesn't surprise me as a law

cornell, goy to you first. the headline this morning is this.r virginia resignations, with power at risk. what is your take on this? because many are saying why aren't more high profile democrats weighing in here? >> well, listen, and i think senator warner said that the allegations coming out are troubling, and they are. we got to hit both sides of this. but let's be clear. the rise of these three gentlemen in virginia has been, has come to a halt. and we got to figure out a way out of this that virginians will be satisfied. and i don't think those handing power over to republicans, because remember northam got more votes than anyone ever who ran for governor of virginia. and virginia is completely rejected trump and the politics of trump. so handing over the state government to trump republicans is certainly not what virginians want. but i do think at this point, we're going to have to have someone step in, and say look, we've got to move on from this, northam probably should, the lieutenant governor probably is going to have to be forced to s

joining me now is cornelle belcher. i'm panel is staying with us.d remind folks that cornell was one of the pollsters for team barack obama right from the start. and something that has been interesting is how different it was for barack obama, is it leaning and are you just as an african-american are you surprised? >> i want to say this speaks to the american exceptionalism. when you see this diverse field coming out, america is moving to a better place. when you look at past congress america is moving to a better place. in 2008 we had, you know the ideal that barack obama could not run as a brak candidate and could not go after black voters is different now. and i think that speaks to how the country is changing, but it also speaks to an important lane in a crowded field. if you tell me where the majority of african-american women will break and break hard, i will tell you who will probably be the democratic nominee. o iowa and new hampshire are important, but when african-americans are breaking for barack obama, he was breaking through. >> there i
