george? >> george: okay, selina. thanks very much. >>> let's bring in republican congressman and trump ally, byron donalds. thank you for joining us this morning. why is former president trump questioning the vice president's racial identity? >> well, first, george, in chicago he was responding to a question from, i believe, rachel scott. this is really a phony controversy. i don't really care, and most people don't, but if we're going to be accurate, when kamala harris went into the united states senate, it was ap who said she was the indian american. it was played up a lot and she's running nationally, obviously the campaign has shifted. they're talking much more about her father's heritage and her black identity. it doesn't really matter. the president mentioned it. what he also talks about far more frequently is the fact that kamala harris is the person who created this massive inflation which is destroying black families, white families, hispanic families. it's her failure as border czar that has left our southe

george: i love train travel. we came down from new york, and two weeks ago, i spoke at dartmouth university in new hampshire and we went by train to boston. from there, by car to dartmouth. i love riding trains. yes, it does bring back memories of those trips we took during the second world war. but, i am able to place it all in history and i'm not going to let that ruin a pleasurable ride in the 21st century. peter: what do you remember about arkansas? george: i was very young, from southern california. and i found the swamps on the de of the barbed wire fence absolutely fascinating. it was a science-fiction land. great trees rising up out of blackwater and the roots came in and out, in and out like a snake going in and out of the water. later on, my father told us about water moccasins. my mother -- we played by the ditch around -- she said, oh, there could have been snakes like that in the water. my father said, no, not in there, but my mother insisted there might be those deadly snakes in the water there. i w

george remus. this is a picture of the scanner in the law library, google university, which holds a 5500 page trial. transcript that was the spine of my research for this. so as soon as i found out this child trace group existed, i, on the train from new york, went up to yale and basically parked myself in this library and didn't move for about ten days. i mean, i, i, i ate like, you know, granola bars under desk and, and just lost all control of time. but for ten days, from opening to closing, sat there and copied every single page, 5500 pages of this thing. and i had never seen anything, like, this overhead scanner. you know, usually when you use a scanner, you're putting the book upside and you're trying to maneuver it. you hurt your and it's it's really tax ing physical experience. but the zipper scanner, just like this one from god, they just miraculously just everything. and i'm not going to lie if anybody's in their research know what i'm talking about. it was just sexy as hell. the scanner.

george? >> george: thank you very much.re literally dozens of bucket trucks ready to respond to power outages once the storm moves through and it's safe to do so. right now there are more than 12,000 customers in florida without power. debby has been whipping this portion of the state for several hours. conditions are expected to get worse, dumping a lot of rain, significant amount of rain in this area. of course, there are concerns for life threatening flash flooding, catastrophic flooding in homes. so there are evacuation orders in place for homeowners. lot of them across the state were able to go to public shelters yesterday. but the governor says they have enough resources to respond to life threatening conditions if they were to pop up. at this point though, he's still urging people to sit tight, finalize those emergency plans and also continue to take precautions even after debbie moves through. michael? >> michael: definitely take that advice. faith, thank you very much. hurricane debby is causing travel problem. tho

of course talking about george h.w. bush. bring us back through history of vice presidency were able to make that jump before george h.w. bush. guest: it is a really smart column because the vice presidency is a terrible job. it is just awful. john adams, the first vice president to, i suspect, harris, has suffered under the expectations of the job. the only constitutional responsibility -- what else are you supposed to do with your time? sometimes they have been good governing partners. vice president's in the 19th century just stayed at home, they didn't come to washington, d.c. it has been a really weird position. early on, it was expected that the vice president would be a good stepping to a presidency. john adams became the second president after serving as washington's vice president. thomas jefferson did, as well, but they were actually of different parties, so they ran against each other while actually serving in the same administration. there have been a handful of other presidents who have succeeded to the office bu

good morning, george.onald trump went into and out of this convention with a distinct advantage in the polling. our latest polling shows vice president harris with a five point edge over donald trump nationally. new polling tells you the tale of how harris has surged. still a very close race. north carolina a three point edge. the same polling had harris, had biden down by nine points back when he was in the race against trump. >> george: economy still pop of mind? >> reporter: yes. these issues are important. you still see an edge for harris on some of the issues maybe a little less relevant for voters. abortion only 59% say that's a key issue. harris has an advantage there. similar with health care. the economy almost nine in ten voters say it's important to their vote. trump is plus nine. crime and safety trump plus three. immigration and the border trump plus ten. harris hasn't talked a lot about issues so far. a lot of this is rebranding herself and resetting the race in terms of how voters are percei

george? >> george: thanks.ht a federal judge blocked biden administration plans to ban noncompete contracts for workers. it was set to go into effect september 1st. chief economics correspondent rebecca jarvis here with details. >> rebecca: this could have a big impact. these are buried in a lot of business employment agreements. about 30 million americans, or 20% of u.s. workers, have signed noncompetes. the ftc rule, which was meant to take effect september 4th would have meant anyone applying for a new job could not be forced to sign a noncompete and for workers with existing agreements, those noncompetes would no longer be enforceable. now that sweeping ban is permanently on hold after a federal judge in texas decided the government agency lacks authority to put the ban in place. in a statement to abc news, a spokes person for the ftc says the agency is seriously considering a potential appeal of the decision. meantime, the white house says it still supports a noncompete ban. while the u.s. chamber of comme

george? >> george: thanks. let's bring in rick klein. rick, rfk jr.'poll numbers had been dropping. hard to gauge what impact his getting out and endorsing donald trump will have. >> yeah, george. the battleground states look different than they did a few short weeks ago where donald trump was leading everywhere. right now kamala harris is up in six of the seven big battleground states including the midwestern states, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. walz, from wisconsin. we are in the state of illinois. your point about the national polling. when robert f. kennedy was added to the latest poll, he was polling just 5%. as jon karl said, he was well into the double digits. harris with a three point lead with three of them in the race. when you take him out of the mix, it is not clear where his voters necessarily go. when you took that away as an option, you see the largest share of voters then went to kamala harris. but the biggest number on this screen is 34% that say it was someone else if kennedy was out of the mix. some of them are holding out for

we are here in the library at the george c. marshall foundation with melissa davis, who is director of library and archives for the foundation. let's do a little bit of a tour inside this library, beginning with this table and this map. tell us what we're looking at. so this is a copy of the last core level d-day map in existence. it belonged to general leonard giraud, who graduated from vmi in 1911. he is in this picture on the left. he was the corps commander of omaha beach and is the copy of map that he carried ashore. we have the original here at the foundation. you said it's your favorite artifact. and here it is my favorite artifact in here, because my father was part of the 29th and was on omaha beach on d-day. and i've learned more from this map, his experiences that day than he ever told himself. now, this desk has history itself, right? it does. it does. this desk was purchased with a suite of furniture by general phil sheridan for the war department in the 1880s. and this was actually general sheridan's private desk.

george? >> george: now the new study on wegovy.esearchers say it may significantly slash risk of heart attack and stroke. eva pilgrim with details. >> reporter: good morning, george. these popular weight loss drugs are not on helping people drop pounds. new study showing these medications can lower a person's risk of heart related issues substantially. the study published in the new england journal of medicine looked at over 17,000 people with preexisting heart disease. it found that long term use of wegovy reduced the risk of heart attack and stroke by 44%. it also reduced the risk of death from end cause in a big way. researchers found people on the medication lost weight and had better blood pressure. now, wegovy is already fda approved to reduce the risk of heart disease for those obese and overweight. it's also approved for weight loss for that same group of people. these studies are critical because this growing data could help clear the way for more people to have access and coverage for this medication, gio. >> gio: such im

right, let's start out with george in budapest as usual. george, we called this one. we had been saying for a very long time because of the um, the perceived um its extremes of american politics that something like an attempted fascination could happen. well, it is already happened. so what does this tell you in a, how does this change the dynamics if at all, go ahead george. when he tells of the election, i think the dynamics. so we've, we simply don't know, does he have how that is going to affect the outcome? so, but this was entirely predictable because of the loop the other years and years of, of under the sun. oh, harold, hysterical coverage of trump bodies. i mean, the median contributed to this episode of the ridiculously staring. but of course, while the patients, and chiefly president, by the who has repeatedly, is declared that this as an existing shall matter. but the united states that you know, trump poses that makes essential for it to the united states. he has been saying this since 2019, and that's remember even before that the trunk was a q is essent

tim naftali: george wallace did not retire from public life, but george wallace changed. or at least, he decided to change his appeal. douglas brinkley: he would then meet with people like jesse jackson, the king family, john lewis, and ask them for forgiveness. tim naftali: he refashioned himself as a more tolerant, more open minded george wallace. and when he ran again for governor of alabama, and he did so successfully, he campaigned for black votes. george wallace, jr.: during the last race for governor, he received 90% of the black vote. i made a mistake, and that's all in the past. and i'm sorry that i did that, because it gave the wrong opinion of the kind of man that i was. sara sidner: coming up, the country's violent origins and the assassination attempt of ronald reagan. i came to bayview hunter's point, where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children. i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought th

george kourounis: when mount st.erupted on may 18th, 1980, it exploded with such force, it took everyone completely off guard. [music playing] one of the people that was about seven or eight miles away from the volcano was a photographer named reid blackburn. i went to my sister's home and we started a vigil there. i think we all thought maybe he'd get out. because by that time, they had footage from a reporter from a seattle station who had been camped up there. dave crockett (voiceover): i've left the car behind. and as you can tell probably from this picture-- [breathes heavily] --i'm walking towards the only light i can see on top of a ridge. i started up a logging road, and that's when the ash hit. dave crockett (voiceover): feel the ash now in my eyes. it's getting very hard to breathe. [breathes heavily] alexa van eaton: for those who were downwind of the ash fall, you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face. dave crockett (voiceover): it's pitch black, just pitch black. this is-- this is hell on ear

so george's, absolutely right. because i still realize we went off against from i think it was this to back in p. m who just treated just a few minutes ago. he said something along the lines of, you know, it was an image for single day. so when you put the guy down so much, that a member of the public was going to do the job and stuff up some ok and then take the short, i'm paraphrasing, didn't say exactly like that, but you get to point to not, not you have to ask yourself um, the security of this, but these events, i mean, you know, i don't want to be a kid's a be a conspiracy theorist. but no one has to wonder with the, with the windshield that i mentioned before with the, with the amount of cases that have been brought against from the up to wonder whether the deep state also perhaps arranges the secuity these events to be so poor because it's only a question of time, sooner or later before it comes to like america with some crack poll brings along a $100.00 rifle and, and takes a few shots of a this go. i mean
