democrats. in 1896, just as coolidge was graduating from amherst, the progressive movement burst onto the national scene at the democratic national convention. progressives, many from coolidge, his family party, the republicans, unleashed a single stinging backlash against the conservatism. president grover cleveland, the progressive populist from nebraska. william jennings bryan, stampeded the democratic convention and with his famous cross of gold speech. in fact, while it cool while at college, coolidge had actually debated gold, it was a big issue at that time. brown articulated progressive impulse for citizens to band together, strengthen government, and confront big business. capitalism was the problem, and government was the answer. william mckinley defended conservative ism, and as a republican twice defeated bryan. mckinley was killed by an assassin making a near unknown the president and leader of coolidge's party. theodore roosevelt. when tr won on his own in 19 four, or coolidge's party the gop had become ed become the progressive party. the election of 1912, when coolidge was running for state offices. progressivism led by the

sit of indictments, every one is conflicted alvin bragg in manhattan he ran on charging democratic national conventions, a radical, elected democrat, jack smith, a form a former top official in eric holder department of justice, and worked closely with him, and james comey, and andrew weisman who all over msnbc spewing his stupidity and smith a wife a democrat activist and obama sycophant. pressures and threatening witnesses, bankrupting criminal targets leaking campaigns with friendly reporters. like habberman at "new york times", and "washington post" and cnn and so forth. let's step back. this d.a., in atlanta, as well as jack smith, what are they doing or done, alan dershowitz wrote an important rees piece for daily mail. >> he says: >> this is normal. in 2000, florida state officials were lob t lobby to recount and select the counties. it goes on: >> trump was entitled as a candidate to ask a georgia state official, trump was told, that in and of these republican counties, that the votes were not in yet, they can't find the ballots and votes he said can't you find whatever it is 11 or 12 thousand

. >> i know, the thing that's remarkable about this i was at the democratic national convention. it was a few convictions ago. basically they would give them the voucher and negotiate with a private healthce insurance. this was the source and the idea i got into s a rather spirited debate with someone in the media. i asked them, let me ask you this. the federal employees get a voucher. >> get their first andir prioritize your ideas. there is a war over the ch characterization. cignafy it. the onenn john pointed out in te beginning. if youe need more care to get quality outcomes the system provides you with more resource. if i may, it's private medicare marketplace. the competition produces health benefits. that's not an oxymoron. you don'tmm see it on a commercl or office space. it's a real thing. go back to the 1980s medicare have a drug benefit. helen ws. when we had the cell phone.or fast forward 2003 you get the prescription drug benefit. that's a 17 year delay. remember thehe resent debate we had they want to add hearing to ctraditional medicare. that's from private market c

. >> the thing that is remarkable about this the democratic national convention a couple of conventions ago there was a lady who got up and address the country basically saying the republicans were goingng to give senior citizens a certificate, a voucher where they'd have been negotiate with the private health insurance company. that was a demagoguery. and that always i remember i got into a rather spirited debate with somebody in the media and asked them well i want to ask you this. do federal employees get a voucher and of course the answea is no. this is thing going on for a long time in the point about the psychological. it was to scare senior citizens that they would be left alone somehow. >> the oldest thing in policies is to t get there first and convince him that your idea is good and their ideas bad and people still use the term trickle down economics. i have no idea what they are talking about is just a word they pick to signify their -- the most important part is one that joined -- john pointed out. if you are sick or you get one in if you need c or care to geta good quality

the early incident certainly in the civil rights movement, the chicago riots during the democratic national convention the selma bridge incident. but the first real video of police behaving inappropriate really was rodney king. but ironically, the defense of those officers during the rodney king event was that they were operating within the guidelines and training that they had received there was a defense. so today in, 2022, there were more of those videos available. but in the overall amount of police out there, there's still a relatively small percentage that up in police using force and within that percentage, about 1% actually end up in some type injury of the person being arrested. so that's very different than. when i came into the business in the 1970s, 97, new york city had 700 officer involved shooting incidents, police force of 35,000, city of seven and a half million people. last year, the city of new york had about 50 shooting incidents, most of them police responding to attacked or being shot at. and i think last year in a city of almost 9 million people, they took eight lives during the

it came out of barack obama's acceptance speech at the democratic national convention. he uses the same phraseology. i mean, this is a guy that has, you know, no principal. i didn't attack him. >> neil: i understand. the back and forth continued. i am curious what you made of the fact that donald trump wasn't there. everyone was, you know, ready to see you take him on. you were sort of then surprisingly having to take on this new up and coming candidate. you clearly had your moments. don't regret the fact that donald trump wasn't there and this was an opportunity lost? >> i don't regret it for me. i regret it for the voters of our party who didn't have an opportunity to be treated with respect by someone who has been fortunate enough to win that nomination twice. at the bear minimum, for four years be the president of the united states, for him to show such disrespect to the voters to not show up is sad for the voters of our party. i'll tell you this: his giving joe biden every excuse to not show up for debates in november. that's not good for our party. if we got on a

hing >> i know, the thing that is remarkable about this, the democratic national convention, i think it was a couple of conventions, there was a lady who got up and address the country and she said basically that the republicans were going to give senior citizens a certificate, a voucher, where they would have to go out and negotiate with a private health insurance company. that was the source of demagoguery. it was the idea that, you know, and i've always -- i remember, i got into a rather spirited debate with somebody in the media. and i asked, them i, said well, let me ask you this, does the federal employees get a voucher? and of course, the answer is no. and you know, this has been going on for a long time. i think the point of it was psychological. it really scares senior citizens that they would be left alone somehow. basically -- >> yeah, i mean, this was the oldest thing in politics. get there first, try to characterize your ideas as their idea is bad, and there is the war over that getting their initial characterization. attempt to damage the brand deliberately. people stil

cheryl: during the 2004 democratic national convention, obama said he was a, quote, skinny kid with any name who believes america has a name for him too. mark keeper -- mark tepper, did that land or not? >> i'll tell you, that was one heck of a haymaker. if i were in vivek's shoes, i would be honored that everyone was gunning for him, because it started off with chris christie, then it went to mike pence all night long. even nikki haley threw a jab. so, i mean, if you're vivek and you're up on stage and everyone's gunning for you with, that's because you're probably the most feared person on the stage, and you might be the front-runner. i think from that standpoint, i mean, it actually, in my opinion, makes vivek look stronger. cheryl: todd, that was my question to doug collins last hour, is there some internal polling that we have not seen that those candidates on that stage have seen that shows that vivek ramaswamy is stronger than we are seeing in public right now, internal polling? >> i think that is a great guess on your part. there has to be. and if i'm vivek, i'm going into thi

if you think about his 2004 speech before the democratic national convention, where he's like, there's no black america, white america, red america, blue america. there's the united states of america that very much fed into that ethos and tone and and also sort of in 2008, there were a lot of people who were like, well, if the first black man gets elected president of the united states, then clearly we're no longer where we are in terms of having a seat deep, serious problems with race. obama knew that that wasn't true. we talk a lot about how that wasn't true in african-american politics, but just recall the public discourse around that time. the concern with the racialization and it's been articulated by scholars such as joseph mccormick and charles jones and others, is that people who attempted to transcend race may in fact be making an implicit bargain with non-black voters who may choose to support them. they may want that descriptive representation of saying that they voted for a black person, but they don't actually want to deal with the issues that african american communities

but in may of 1960, just as campaign the democratic national convention will meet in a couple of months, they're starting to think about the fall race. they're feeling confident about the nomination. robert kennedy said to harris wofford, civil rights official with the campaign. he said, you know, i haven't known too many black people in my life. tell us tell me about this. tell me what we need to do. it speaks to to the kind of upbringing that they had and this is certainly true of jfk, but i think it's also true of robert. but again, this capacity that all three of you were talking about for for understanding and for growth. well, the other thing they're political people. yeah. you know, they they had to win. they wanted to win. and they needed to they needed south. and i think robert kennedy said when he went to speak in georgia that the state of georgia gave the president the largest percentage victory of any state in the union. in terms of the margin. and so they were always operating in a world in which they had to navigate a political circumstance when speak really, which was not

then the democrats, when we put together one of our national conventions in the late ninety's right before the 2000 election, i called the democratic national committee and i called the republican national committee to invite their 2 candidates to come and speak to our talk radio convention the 2 candidates for george w bush and al gore, the gore, people said, send a letter, send a letter, explain what this is all about. the bush people said send directions. how do we get there? and that it really indicates the difference between how the democrats and the republicans have approach talk radio does it was it that by the murder 90 democrats, succeeded out that most of the 2 radio industry was hostile to the kind of politics time. then to find that the broadcasting from an underground bunker, 3500 feet below. dick cheney is bunker air america. radio is on the air. it's not as it hasn't trying to radio liberals realizing that they were missing out port in some serious muscle. so trying to level out the playing fields view, and i know that the radical right wing of the republican party has taken

i imagine we are going to be seeing the much on t-shirts at the democratic and republican national conventionske that weird circle of the venn diagram that overlapped. they both want that t-shirt. kerry and michael, thank you very much. >> always a pressure. >> thank you. >>> today, we are talking about mug shots. everyone, all the 19 have turned themselves in. the final two, a pastor and a publicist for the last two to surrender. it was right down to the wire. both of the people you see here are accused of trying to intimidate georgia election workers. georgia election workers like ruby freeman who was falsely accused by trump and his allies of trying to pull a fast one with the balance she was counting, simply carrying out her civic duty. you may remember, freeman tearfully told the committee how her whole life was turned upside down by the very conspiracy theories that also lead to death threats. >> there is nowhere i feel safe. do you know how it feels to have the president of the united states target you? >> stephen lee, a pastor, showed up at the fulton county jail in his sunday best. he

national convention. adrian: yeah, but what you are saying is they are accusing the democrats of wanting him out of the racejennifer: actually, my theory, and some other republicans, is what the democrats want, and it's a very good strategy, is they want trump to be the gop nominee. they want to run against him in the general election. if you notice every time there is an indictment, his poll numbers go up, he is able to raise more money. the base, that 25% to 30% continues to support him. people look at this as though it is a weaponization of the criminal justice system and they want to back him. now, i believe the democrats also think they can beat him in the general election. because while the hard-core republican base, there's nothing that can happen that will turn them away from trump. the really important people are the people in the middle, the independents, the persuadables. i believe that is about 38%, the voting population. so, are they going to be paying attention to the nuances of this case, or are they just going to say this is too much of a mess, i don't want to hear about trump's issues or bi

national convention. so he's the terminal. and so what you're, what you're saying is we are, they are choosing the democrats of one of them out of the race. well, actually my theory and some of us that republicans overseas u. k. is that what the democrats want? and it's very good strategy. they want jump to be the g o p nominate they want to run against him in the general election. so if you notice, every time there's an indictment is pull numbers go up, he's able to raise more money. the base, you know that 25 to 30 percent continues to support him. and people look at this is that what the weapon is? ation of the criminal justice system and they want to back him now that democrats, i believe, also think they can beat him in a general election because while the hard core republican base, you know, now there's nothing that can happen that will turn them away from trump the really important people are the people in the middle, the, the independent, the persuadable is that the belief that about 38 percent the voting population. so are they going to be paying attention to the nuances of this case? or are they just going to say, y

but the democrats, as a result of the the debacle in chicago surrounding the national convention, they recast rules for nominations that set in motion. the of a very fellow a senator from south dakota named george mcgovern. a very decent fellow who is probably the candidate in american history for the last 60 or 70 years and if you want to know if you want to know why many people in the country think that the democrats can be counted on to act as though they know better the rest of the country and that they're smarter than everybody else and they really don't sort of care for what ordinary people think. it goes back to this era, george, a very decent guy, but he was somebody who by any stretch of the imagination would be appealing to kind of ordinary folks his positions on all that stuff was way to the left or way off the end, and the outcome of this was that nixon won in 1972, carrying 49 out of 50 states. this was the largest landslide in history. and for nixon, it wasn't enough he could have seen this. nixon was very shrewd. he could do the vote count. he he was going to win. but he
