we will speak first to our correspondent, jenna ryan in washington, dc.emocrats really wanted last week to make this election a referendum on donald trump as my character, but watching this convention, even what we have seen so far does mcdonald trump's character, it is laying out as it is character and record were strengths. it is as if the pandemic, the economic just hasn't happened? you have to remember that his supporters absolutely to remember that his supporters a bsolutely love to remember that his supporters absolutely love him. they are fiercely loyal, they are passionate about him, even to the point of protective. and i don't think anything that the democrats had last week will have changed that. donald trump is trying to get them to come out and vote and notjust his base, but also reluctant republicans who may have voted for him in 2016 who might not like to admit it now, but are still going to vote for him in 2020. so he's really trying to motivate his base. and as far as playing to his strengths and pretending that the bad things haven't happ

outside the washington dc home of the new postmaster general louis dejoy they claim he's engaging in voter suppression president trump has been critical of the post office and is against a mail in ballot e in the november election. the big question now how will the post office handle the huge influx of mail in ballots expected this november while the head of the group which oversees the post office says they won't be able to if the postmaster general keeps putting quote roadblocks in front of postal workers such as removing some postal collection boxes and limiting over time and he wants the newly appointed postmaster to step down but has been conway reports president trump is praising him. >>protesters in dc had a message for the postmaster general saturday and they delivered it to his home. they're saying louis dejoy has got to go and they're not the only ones democratic representative gerry connolly who chairs the subcommittee of government operations which oversees the post office is calling for the postmaster general's immediate resignation. >>he immediately moved. 2 measures. >

way through 500,000 spectators, a huge number, police protection, the chief of police in washington dc was not a friend to suffragists, denies and police protection even though paul had applied for a permit. and what we would think of as the national guard on standby in nearby fort myers, the crowd got really unruly and aggressive towards suffragists, that is when they called them calvary from virginia and had that group serve as protector of the suffragists. it was quite dramatic in that sense because suffragists were not expecting these huge huge crowds. this inaugural speech for his first term as president, almost nobody showed up and asks where is everybody and pulled out all the spectators. on my left and you're right is the official program for women's suffrage, you can see, from the parade and you can see his purple roads, the color of royalty, walking down the front of the capital, presumably pennsylvania avenue with her trumpet with the banner, vote for women, heralding in the call for freedom. i mentioned alex paul who has been radicalized by the british suffragette movement

they should move us to dc. just because otherwise they knew that my dad would not really cs that much. they are kind of in dc during the week. i think it was a really good decision for our family because i knew i knew i was always invited to travel with my dad and go to things with him. but he was also at home for home for dinner almost every night. we were very much a part of his life. obviously i have my dad there and raising me and teaching me it was definitely impactful also. we were in an environment that was very different from the community that i would have would've grown up in indiana. a lot of my friends were and still are very liberal. i think being around people that don't necessarily agree with your family or your politics was a really good thing for me because it helped me to have a more diverse point of view may be. you have just graduated from college. it is incredible timing. can you talk about your first reaction to hearing the news and then also your father is very different from donald trump

tonight here in washington, dc, shock in congress as the director of national intelligence now says he is cutting off briefings on election security issues to top members of the u.s. congress. only written updates will be going forward. even with the top intelligence official on the election saying just this month that china, russia, and iran are now looking to interfere in the u.s. presidential election just 66 days away with some people actually starting to vote earlier. all this as coronavirus cases in this country now near 6 million. more than 180,000 lives lost in the united states, nearly one thousand yesterday alone. the reported death toll so far this saturday is already well over 250. first let's go straight to kenos kenosha, wisconsin, where people have been marching nearly for a week after the police shot jacob blake. he's now paralyzed from the waist down. sara sidner on the scene for us, she had a chance to speak to blake's father. what are you seeing, first of all, sara, what are you hearing? >> reporter: the march is over. it was an absolutely peaceful march. the family

if you are talking about compromise, even with the trillion dollar washington dc magical way of saying they are going to come down a trillion, they can't come up with any significant cuts in their bill. what they want is a two and a half trillion dollar blank check. i cannot tell you the president has encouraged us not only to negotiate as the secretary indicated to come back and negotiate in good faith, but at this point i am extremely disappointed that we came here today just he had the same thing repeated over and over again, which is the same thing we have heard repeated for the last two weeks. c the chief will recommend this to the president. this is not the first choice, but people have run out of the enhanced unemployment so that is something we will remand -- recommend an executive order on. we will recommend an executive iter and on student loans will take us a while to finalize them but we will do that because the president wants action. he realized that despite what was a big pickup in jobs there are still too many people impacted by this.

of the speech i look back to find the speech of my mentor when i was 24 years old here in washington dc. i want to say this is the speech i may or may not have written. i have no idea when i wrote that it is lost to history. but i did find the line that says to all of you sitting here today i hope and 33 years one of you was lucky enough to be sitting appear giving this speech. whoever it is you are lucky. reading the speech i was in my office crying. he's talking to me. it was like i was talking to myself in a time machine. i feel like i need to leave you with this because it's a perfect ending so i feel here today in this town i started writing for the first time i feel so lucky to be here. thank you for supporting the kids books and supported me with a thriller's. one final question. >> who is the historical figure you most identify with? that you are most inspired by? that is the core. i was tired of my own kids looking at loudmouth that leads and reality television so we started with books like i am abraham lincoln. i am amelia earhart. albert einstein, jackie robinson, louisa park

dc's, pc's. but at the end of the day, it is that allows us to get the best advice and best options in front of the president. oftentimes, by running the full process and finding out where the pitfalls and traps are, potential policy or reaction to some world event that takes place, we keep america safer. i think general scowcroft understood that better than many national security advisors and many people in foreign policy. i think our team has run over 200 dc's and pc's and in the last year since i have been in office. i think we may have a record on that front. what that allows us to do is get the consensus to the president, although there is not a consensus -- general scowcroft, the third thing i distilled from the scowcroft model, and that is being the honest broker. we try not to take a policy position as nsc staffer. myself as national security advisor. doesn't mean i don't have positions. i have well-developed positions on a variety of issues before coming here. but it is for the president

i ended up running the dc news bureau for a while. i founded my own news platform. and navigated the land of inter- capitalist. i taught my cap glass on diversity and broadcast journalism. people will ask does she have the news job. can she hold her own on the anchor desk. if i were a white woman. her white man. people would be tripping over themselves. to give me that platform. i worked so hard and earned it. there just has to be a more diverse way of decision-makers. through the frustration of navigating that 20 year career avenues in politics i worked on campaigns. at the federal state and local level. i got frustrated with the journalism journalism and take a break every couple years. it would call me back and i would go back to news. but it was in that space i was preparing to tell the story. i knew it was a story that needed to be told. in 2016 that's when i started doing research. and i took it. it took 18 months of solid writing. and it was torture. i wrote every single word in this book. i wrote every single sentence. and i wrote in every way it could be wr
