democratic party? >> the democratic party is we are diverse we come to the table different perspectives, different backgrounds and different approaches how to get things done. it's not what you are getting along and shaking hands and patting each other on the back, but can we negotiate, move forward, get things done for the american people. do you think joe biden has a track record in will do that as president working with democrats and some republicans wed . host: a supporter president trump from connecticut good morning. >>caller: thank you very much. my first comment is to the whole covid-19 issue and joe biden. the reason i support the president primarily is foreign policy and domestic policy trump is the only person going on back to lincoln who is willing to stand up to the ourselves on - - what on - - outsourcing trend to china and also stand up to the idea of the chinese trying to expand their influence around the that happened a lot during the obama biden administration when the chinese laid claim to territory waters must only recognize that to territory limit so with covid-19 we all agree it's a seri

i think a lot of democrats, maybe even senator dianne feinstein asking questions that reagan did. i did not leave the democratic party, the democratic partyid. i think the liberals today share more fundamental beliefs with conservatives than they do with the radical left that is now dominating their party. liz: t that is interesting. you know, the senate is expected to vote sunday to confirm amy coney barrett. dianne feinstein, let's say this is thef scenario. the democrats seize control of the senate. do democrats not want senator find stan to run senate judiciary? do they want senator blumenthal or chris coons or amy klobuchar to run it instead? is that the game plan behind the scenes like chuck schumer? >> they made this very clear long before the death of ruth bader ginsburg. pack the supreme court with additional seats, pack the senate, bypass the electoral college which cuts out and has any meaningful say in the selection of meaningful presidents. i think liberals like diane feinstein in the senate will need to ask themselves, do they really want to be part of tearing the constitution literally andnd treads? that could yield some ve

lot of democrats, maybe even senator dianne feinstein are starting to request questions reagan did, when he became a republican. the he said i didn't leave the democratic party. the democratic partyiefs with conservatives than they do with the radical left dominating their party. elizabeth: that is interesting. you know the senate is expected to vote monday to confirm judge barrett to the supreme court. is there a push behind the scenes to get senator dianne feinstein, let's say, this is the scenario. the democrats seize control of the senate. do democrats not want senator dianne feinstein to run senate judiciary? do they want somebody else, maybe like a sheldon whitehouse or senator blumenthal or chris coons or amy klobuchar to run it instead? is that the gameplan behind the scenes with senator chuck schumer. >> the gameplan, they made it very clear long before the death of ruth bader ginsburg, pack the supreme court with additional seats, pack the senate with additional states. bypass the electoral college, which the rural states will not have meaningful say in election of future presidents. liberals like dianne feinstein in the senate do they want to be a part of tearing the c

democrat party. the democrat party wants to destroy this country. at's why it intends to attack the supreme court. the supreme court is one of our three branches. the democrat party is saying we don't give a damn, if that branch doesn't out to our will we will destroy. they want to destroy half of congress by loading up of democrats, so there's democrats in congress that control that body for a generation. then they want to destroy the legislative process, so nothing can be done, nothing, to stop them. all the checks and balances will be killed. all the checks and balances will be destroyed. why? because nancy pelosi and chuck schumer have an agenda that they want to ram down the throats of the american people. this election is about this, the constitution of the united states. when you vote, when you vote, you're voting now, you're voting on your liberty. your boating on your country. your voting for the men and women in uniform overseas who are fighting for this document. the democrat party is not this country. it doesn't get to rule over us. it do

the chair of the democratic party in browa rd to vote. the chair of the democratic partyty florida, thank you very much. do you ever consider moving to florida every four years so you do not have to ask them about the orderfor 2000, 2004, all the close votes ? the orderfor 2000, 2004, all the close votes? i consider moving down there anyway because the weather is so good. it sounds good going to florida. i think it is super interesting, i think these polls that are showing biden ahead by four points when i speak to strategists which i am kind of doing every day at the moment, they don't seem to think that is reflective. they do feel that florida is going to be tighter. that there has been this historic problem of getting some of those democratic candidates out to the polls in southern florida. it's such an interesting state, it is alabama in the north, newjersey in the south, and ohio in the middle. so you have every shade of american life and political persuasion in the state which is what i think makes it so interesting and this time around as we said earlier, if donald

the democratic party into nebraska's history. of course there were democrats here before william jennings bryan's campaigns but he elevates the democratic party in its stature in nebraska. here, obviously he's a major figure in nebraska history, and -- but the local legacy, of course, is this home and the hospital which bears his name. >> john is joining us from san francisco, as we look at the life and political career of william jennings bryan. go ahead, please. >> caller: bryan publicly defended the ku klux klan in 1924 democratic national convention. did he also privately embrace the practice of lynching in the south? >> he did not defend the klan in 1924. i'm not defending him retro speculatively. there was a debate in the convention in new york city was about whether to denounce the klan by name or not. he believed that democrats should win over the klan rather than denounce them. you know, he certainly had supporters who were in the klan. it's unfair to say he was a supporter of the klan. he was not. he was a racist against african-americans, and we consider him that now, but he did not support violence against them. he denounced lynch

why are they so problematic within the democratic party, progressive wing of the democratic party? >> i think it's those who the armed chair kind of people that always want to set the tone, the policy but never get their hands dirty will get involved. they have assigned themselves to leadership but they are not reading anyone. they are not on the ground. in the last decade, we've had every battle in the civil rights era from trayvon martin to george floyd. we always had the latte liberals that would interpret with the movement ought to be doing but they were not on the ground trying to deal with how people who are angry, how they would react. how people were angry on the other side, how they would react. how you deal with people who want to do something and didn't know what to do, they were back sipping latte's, discussing great thoughts but never put any feet to action and those, to me, seemed to be very much an obstacle because what they theorize may not work functionally to sit back in the living room paul or and sipped a latte or sit in a studio and spout great wisdom. if you ar

think he does bring the democratic party, antenna baskets history, of course there were democrats here before, william jennings bryan campaigns. but he elevates the democratic party and its stature in nebraska. obviously, here he is a major figure in nebraska history, but the local legacy, of course, is this home. and the hospital. which bears his name. >> john is joining us from san francisco, as we look at the life and political career of william jennings bryan. go ahead please. >> brian publicly defended the cooks plant in the 1924 democratic national convention. did he also privately embrace their productive -- practice of lynching in the south? >> he did not defend the klan, in 1924. i'm not defending him, retrospectively. but in the 1924 democratic convention, in new york city, it was about whether to denounce the clan by name or not. he believed that the democrats should win over the klan, rather than denounce them. but you know, he certainly had supporters in the klan, but it's unfair to say that he was a supporter of the klan. he was not. he was a racist, against african americans and we have presume that now. but but he did not support the violence agai

. >> i am the democratic party, the platform of the democratic party is what i, in fact, approved of, what i approved of. >> reporter: and distancing himself from his party's most progressive policies. >> that's not my plan, the green new deal is not my plan. >> peter, any word what changes the debate commission is looking at making? >> reporter: no final decisions have been made but tonight a source close to the committee tells me among the changes being considered, cutting off a candidate's microphone, if they violate the rules. lester >> all right, peter alexander, thank you as you heard, one of the most inflammatory moments in last night's debate was what the president said and didn't say about a white supremacist group. which energized its members. here's hallie jackson with more on that. >> reporter: pledging allegiance to president trump today, the proud boys, a group of far right extremists. >> i don't know who the proud boys are they have to stand down, let law enforcement do their work >> reporter: president trump facing fallout for not denouncing the group more clearly in o

and everything in the democratic party is progressive and everything the democrat party has touch in s of latin america. i like to say there's something about progressive principles that always lead to aggressive results for minority communities. that's just something i've realized. they are always pretending to help but impact in fact they are hurting because what the left relies on is a permanent underclass and that's why they harp on division why marxism is the tenet of all their principles. it's white versus black heterosexuals versus people versus skinny people. why are you just trying to make people divided? they truly believe once you divide you can conquer from chaos dictatorship can arise everything conservatives against than for black america it was important to know the real history of all that helping they keep telling about the currently in the public school system black americans learned lyndon baines johnson was a hero president because he wrote the civil rights bill of 1964. this is so ridiculous to it's to the point should be humorous. in his 20 plus years in the sena

why would the ten company stop doing the bidding of the democratic party of the democratic party had re power? >> it's hard to see how it gets better and kamala harris' press secretary is the chief of communications at winter or the person who announces on facebook that things are going to be slow down on the hunter biden story r democratic operative. take a look at the big tax base. the vice president of amazon communications, former white house press secretary before that, former chief aide to joe biden. several people on his transition team are linked to the big tech companies. look at where their money is going. is public record. look at the public data of where their donations are going. are they going to get better? google, facebook, we all know they were never more powerful than they were under the obama administration. underage joe biden administration, it will be ten, 15, 20 times what it was then. >> tucker: at some point soon we are going to do a show or we just name the republicans, people you voted for or who sent money to who refused to save you from this great moment in

the shots. take a look. >> your party wants to go socialist -- >> it's me. i'm the democratic party. i'm the democraticarty now. >> not according to harris. >> it's what i in fact approved of. there is no manifesto. >> let him speak, mr. president. >> he just lost the left. >> number two. >> you just lost the left. the green new deal is $100 trillion -- >> that is not my plan. >> you support the green new deal? >> pardon me? >> you support the green new deal? >> i don't. >> that's a big statement. >> not with standing the insufferable rule breaking hectoring, that was about policy. your response when vice president biden who met with you and others said he's in charge and some of that stuff he's not for. >> let start here. biden believes in science. and trump is trying to find ways to divide us. we had a primary of ideas but we are a party that fund mentally believes in health care, understands that climate change poses a huge risk to our survival. we are a party that believes that government can be a force for good if it works on the side of the people. so i feel good about both what kamala is going t

matthew: he wasn't familiar with the national democratic party and the democratic party in new mexico had its own policy agendas. there is a great book that talks about this -- howard lamarr, which talks about politics in the southwest. he focuses on new mexico, but to make that leap from territorial politics to the national democratic agenda, i think, was tough for him. the government was a guy by the name of david meriwether, who was a long time politician from back east and served as something as a tutor for gallegos. gallegos came and consulted him and we know this because meriwether records this in his memoirs. at once you got him into legislative environment, he understood how things worked in d.c. he certainly knew who the key committee chairs were and he was convincing enough to get them to go on to the floor and argue on his behalf, even though it didn't work. but there are parts of the story that we really have to -- there's a lot of gaps to the story. >> one more question. the difference between english law and then spanish or mexican law that they had to work through? what

in the 1960s whether this is a kind of caricature of what the democratic party has done or not or misrepresentation of what the democratic party has done is it begins to ask other latinos what has your blind loyalty to the democratic party gotten you and they start to make the argument that democrats are only looking for your vote and only come around during election season otherwise they ignore you but don't care about you whereas the republican party creates economic opportunities and they are the ones waging this battle with latin america, those kind of things, the kind of party of patriotism and free enterprise and things that appeal to a group of latinos, so they start to argue that it's actually the democratic party that has ignored them. they also start to make the argument that all the democratic party cares about when it comes to racial politics is african-americans and they get handouts. that's what the democratic party does. but we need the republican party no latinos are different. you don't march through the streets protesting. you are more respectable in your political behavior. so those are some of the early arg

the democratic party. -- and a major force within the democratic party. their political careers start to intersect. it really happens when kennedy becomes a senator. elinor has very different political views than he does. you want to talk about how that evolved? alan: sure. and you can correct me if i'm off on this. a big part of the early schism i thinka big part of the early schism revolved around senator mccarthy. and senator mccarthy's relationship with the kennedys. even when the senate votes to censure mccarthy and kennedy had a speech ready to support that censure. but he was in the hospital and unable to deliver that speech. i think because he was not able to publicly distance himself or mccarthy when others are, i think eleanor infers from that and the ongoing family relations between mccarthys and kennedys, that he may not be as strong a candidate and may not share the same values she shares. and i believe engages in some public criticism of kennedy as maybe not being the right candidate. , doesnnedy i think wisely not engage in a public battle with eleanor roosevelt. i think she would not

the democratic party in the period between 1968 and 72. not simply by chairing the mcgovern reform commission, but by his insistence on the democratic party nce again truly becoming a democratic party. because of his efforts and the efforts of many of you, the convention of 1972, as interesting as it was shall we say, helped save the democratic party and helped open the doors for young people, for women, for minorities, for people who had, up to that time, been shut out. now it's fashionable, i know, for people to say there is not really much difference between the two parties, but there really is. and there is a necessity for a democratic party and the kind of democratic party george mcgovern envisioned and helped create. >> jules witcover, what's your reaction seeing gary heart talk about those reforms? >> he is certainly correct. mcgovern's role was a critical role. i go back to well before 1968 and i can remember in 1960 when john kennedy was running. he and his aide and speech writer, who recently passed away, just the two of them would get on an airplane and fly around and visit governors and mayors who were so empowered that you cou

the democratic party, but this is about results. he has done more for african—americans in the 47 months then the democratic party has in the past thenoueges past 47 years. historical black colleges have been funded, and are proud graduate of and joe biden what to crime bill that incarcerated masses of black men and women that have destroyed an entire generation. present trumpets, the first step act and many of those nonviolent offenders have been released. more blacks had jobs prior to the pandemic then going back to slavery so pandemic then going back to slavery so this president has a record of accomplishments. back in 2016 donald trump on the 19% of the black male vote in only 2% of african—american women voted for him. do you think this time around then in georgia he is going to get a bigger share of the african—american vote, because if he doesn't i don't quite see how he can win the state again. in 2016 the poll said that donald trump had no pathway to winning the election. you saw many in the liberal media as they start to cry with donald trump from the president not hillary clinton. he took about polls, even here in georgia,

in, like -- draw them into the party, especially as there's -- they're kind of undergoing this shift between the democrats and the republican party and the southern democratscians into the republican party. >> absolutely. at the same time that he is forced to finally take a stance on the little rock crisis and send troops in and he does feel that it's his obligation as the executive to follow the law of the land. but at the same time the republican national committee is undergoing a variety of studies that they call operation dixie where they're thinking about ways they can capitalize on the divides in the democratic party. it's a really calculated move in terms of how he frames it, that you absolutely hit on. excellent. >> firstly, i find it kind of ironic that he chose andrew jackson of all people to talk about when talking about the enforcement of a supreme court decision, given that one of jackson's most famous decisions was not to listen to the supreme court in the case of the indian removal act. one thing he makes very clear, this is to continue off of the absolving government point, he makes it very clear this is a last resort. it's very much the pe

is, the people now the democratic party is the people's party, in the republican party is their party of -- and it always has been, and i will always be. for the record of the democratic party, is written in the accomplishments of the last 16 years. i don't need your -- to repeat them, they have been very able in place before this convention, by the keynote speaker, the candidate for vice president, and by the chairman. confidence and security have been brought to the american people like the democratic party. farm income has increased from less than two and a half million dollars in 1933, two more than 18 million dollars in 1947. never in the world, where the farmers of any republic or any kingdom or any other country, as prosperous as the farmers of the united states. and if they -- if they don't do their duty by the democratic party they are the most ungrateful people in the world. wages and salaries in the country have increased from 29 million dollars, in 1933, two more than 120 billion dollars in 1947. that's the labor and labor never had but one friend in politics, and that is a democratic party, and franklin d. roosevelt. and i'll try to labor what he said to

democratic party. the manhattan democratic party. tammany hall from the mid-19th century was best known as the machine of machines in urban america. it was identified as a primarily irish machine. a machine in new york that really depended on the neighborhood power, word power, and that was as much about taking care of your neighborhood and the coming up through the neighborhood as much as it was anything really about national politics. tammany hall is the most powerful force in new york city politics at that moment. >> john fevers how did tammy hold fit into the 1928 election? >> that was the brush that painted smith into a corner. >> unidentified speaker we talk about the religion issue. this started at the convention in 1928. tammany hall would go to the conventions and they would always have -- the work was a key state. they would nominate the democratic candidates. in fact many candidates we had both a democrat and republican candidates from new york like teddy roosevelt ran against sultan brooks parker. one was a republican one

within the national democratic party so that the whole south at this point is still a democratic south with smith as their national candidate. and so you had real tensions within the democratic party between this kind of urban core that smith was coming to represent, and the more southern wing as well as other wings of the democratic party as well, so those intra-party relationships were important as well as the democrats and republicans. >> just to recap, herbert hoover, 444 electoral votes. al smith, 87 electoral votes. herbert hoover won 36 districts, al smith won 8. miss mirissippi mississippi, alabama, georgia, south carolina, massachusetts and rhode island. we have another question here from our audience. hi. >> two questions. if you were to grade his governorship, what letter would you assign to it? and the second question is, as the first catholic presidential candidate, did he help how the country viewed religion as a factor? >> let's take the governor question here and the religion question there. >> i would give governor smith an "a" because he faced a tremendously uphill battle. new york was a republican state at the time, and as i mentioned, he had a very tough time d

party, so these are the large taket by a away from the possibility of a democratic three, and we have to weigh these factors in terms of 1976 where the democratic party is not divided, where president ford is not known as a charismatic leader, and where there has not been a democrat in this,ite house, so given we see one partyying at the democratic label, one candidate, the other not playing up his party label. hear a great deal about the personal factor in american grace of ahe coup de orcessful personal appeal the factor when someone makes a mistake. how much does this -- obviously, it affects the party orientation -- the party label orientation of the voter. how much does it really change this other than for an is person like general eisenhower, to whom the personality thing and the fact of people feeling must havee with him been the major epic of his triumph. do you think in 1976 there will ford caneal president make personally, which would override the democratic majority -- or plurality, in the same that president nixon in 1972 could attack the ideological position of senator mcgovern to override that democratic plurality? makes a correct point that here is a campaign in less both people, more or knew the center of the american political spectrum, and at the issuesme, there are no sharply dividing a c

but if you want to send a message to the democratic party, hey -- by the way, the democratic party isn'tennedy: no, they're not. they're acting like socialists, but so are republicans with all this big spending. the only difference is they're talking about cutting taxes. democrats are going to raise them, they're going to raise spending phenomenally. and that, to me, is the biggest issue in this election that no one's talking about. >> except trump raised taxes -- i'm sorry, spending -- kennedy: yeah, he did, no doubt about it. >> he's a businessman, i know how to balance the budget, i'm going to cut spending, by the way, i'm going to bring the troops home, and he did none of that. the deficit went up faster under him than barack obama. so i've been telling trump voters, hey, if you like the fact that trump is spending more than barack obama, great, vote for him again. but if you want to tell him we voted for you because you're an outsider, then vote for me and send him a message. kennedy: i have no problem voting for you, i do have a problem with cheering for someone who put an all live

elections nowadays, where there did used to be this kind of royalty to the democratic party because -- loyalty to the democratic party because republicans -- a lot of republican policies and a lot of politicians talk, i think there is more openness now, especially among the younger generation like my age to be more open to may considering an alternative option. in ohio.n and -- john in ohio. who are you supporting? caller: i voted for howie. host: tell us why. caller: it is the first time i ever voted for a third-party candidate. i voted for trump last time and the two times before him i voted for obama. i considered voting for all three of them -- i considered voting for trump just to vote against biden and considered voting for biden just to do it against trump, but i could not bring myself to vote for either one of them. before i decided between biden and hawkins, one thing that played into it was something a caller mentioned about the hunter biden thing. i do believe that. i don't believe what my neighbors to, they are into that and voted for trump last time and never voted republican before but they are into tha
