>> landrieu: uh-huh, yup.retty daunting. >> cooper: ...hidden away in this hastily-built plywood shed, in a location we were asked not to reveal. >> landrieu: and you can see, they're in the civil war gear, the-- the military monuments. you know, they're there to revere them for their military service in propagation of the civil war. >> cooper: you look at these monuments, you would never know the confederacy lost. >> landrieu: well, that was the whole point. the whole point was to convince people that, actually, they won, and even in their defeat, it was a noble cause. of tis to-- to confront point history. i mean, this wasn't an l.s.u.- alabama football game where it didn't matter who won and lost, and you just got bragging rights. i mean, we were talking about millions of people enslaved, 600,000 american citizens were killed, and they were trying to destroy the country. >> cooper: the statues' final fate is unclear, but they're unlikely to ever be displayed again on public property in the city of new orlea

i don't know how much talk of radical centrism will help mitch landrieu. he is not that well-known.ocratic primary is sort of the howard dean method of '04. run to the left. that was more than a decade ago. but i think if you are going to see a dark horse emerge, given what we know of what's happened in the 2018 cycle, it's much more likely that that candidate is -- i'm throwing a name out there. chris murphy from connecticut who is very liberal on guns, very outspoken on the need for more gun legislation in the wake of new town, has a liberal record generally speaking. that's where i think the dark horse race is. >> i tried to get an answer on this from denny heck last hour. who is it? are you the party of pelosi or ocasio-cortez. he said, it's neither. we're all. you can't be all, right? >> you can't be all. at the end of the day, any political party when you have two of them has to have a relatively big tent. you can be sure that in the upcoming fall campaign and leading into 2020, the republicans will make democrats, force democrats to say who exactly they are. they will try to

>> well, thank you, senator landrieu.thank you for your opening remarks about the extraordinary nature of our democracy, belief in the individual. ultimately i think that's why we will outstrip china. i mean, we have a model that believes in distributional decision making as opposed to authoritarian decision making. when you look at baidu, which competes with googling, one of the things that always makes me confident in the american system, is you'll have reports of people paying baidu to rank their search, rank corruption because of the state-owned control. and i think our belief in ordinary americans, as you put it so eloquently, is what's going to give us the comparative advantage. also want to thank will marshall who has welcomed new ideas, new vision. we always don't agree on every specific, but i'm still a liberal in the john stuart mills sense which is that if you debate ideas, ultimately you get better ideas. and i think the worst thing liberals can do is to adopt a group think, which is what republicans have done

let's bring in democrat and former nawlins mayor mitch landrieu.uthor of "in the shadow of statues." a white southerner confronts history. mitch, good to have you here. i only call him mitch because he told me top i believe in deference to his elected office but he wants me to. you watched the debate. >> thank you for not putting me on nanl. i don't ever want to be on a panel with ana. she's tough. >> she's tough about but fair. she believes what she believes. >> scleez not a democrat, by the way. >> no. i called her that once when we were in south florida during the conventions. it was a mistake. so the argument zh. you're going after trump because you can't take that he won. this is the new birtherism because really he's great for the country and he's tougher on russia than anyone. do you accept? >> well, of course that's not true. you know, i think all of us, or at least i did, i was against president trump. i did not want him to win. and i'm sad that he did. but like every american, when he ran all of us hoped that the person that's in that off

mary landrieu was instrumental in helping to make that happen. and the second one was washington dc where 47% of kids went there. almost half and what local democratic leaders figured out is if we want to succeed with low income inner-city kids, if we want to give them real opportunity we have to change the paradigm. we inherited a model of public education. and embrace the cutting-edge corporate model of that time which was bureaucracy. the top-down centralized monopolies, no choice for families and no accountability for performance. given the technologies of the day, education levels of the day and it worked during the industrial era and where the bar is so much higher, you want a middle-class lifestyle the bar is no longer i school degree and that model is struggling. in some of our big cities, it is being replaced by a different model. kind of a network model rather than a bureaucratic model and has several key principles, and real decentralization, meaning let the people who run the school actually run the school. most people don't realize a

m mary landrieu won four terms in the united states senate. she went to every parish in the state even ones we knew were going to show up 70% one way, 30% one way. i went to every perish and the calculation is not to don't go there because you're going to lose the parish, the calculation is if you go there you might get 35%. if you don't, you'll get 20%. that 15% differential across the entire state is the difference between 50% plus one and losing 49% plus a little bit. i think we forget from time to time in the politics of it that there are people that live all over the place, all are different, all have an opinion and a view and they want to be seen and heard and one of the lessons of the last election and many, many years before which i'm not sure we understand so we should be humble about it is that people not withstanding the fact that we are military secure and in a better place that we've been in a long time although we have contagions across the world, even though the stock market is as high as it's been and unemployment is as low as

i remember there was a mother's day where right after susan was born, and it was mary landrieu with her adorable son sitting on the lap, at that age where he was going to totally upstage mom for mother's day. blanch lincoln was pregnant sometime time as i was. and i was great. look, there's probably no easier job that happ job than being in congress and having a kid -- our kid is going to be with us. i went to congress right away, but i had a crib in my room. if there was a meeting and she was sleeping, traded offices with my husband. i would go in and say, i've got this meeting, and susan's sleeping. can i leave her in your office? my life was really easy and very lucky. >> what was that? i mean, the media attention, during this time? >> the media attention because not only was two members married, but i gave birth a day before mother's day. now you have the entire media world looking for that mother's day hook, you know. john, get me something on mother's day. i got just the thing. literally. we had to have a press conference. susan was 14 hours labor and then a caesarean. after they

four of us voted for -- robert byrd, marie landrieu, i think ben nelson and i voted for confirmation. we voted, if you will, our hopes rather than our fears. but we voted in part because of what we learned from others who knew him, who worked with him and who admired him. i'll just flat out, if i had known then what i know now about the kind of decisions he would write and support over the next -- the following 12 years, i would not have voted for him in 2006. and i think it's highly unlikely i will vote for him today. i think it's time to hit the pause button on such consequential nominees like mr. kavanaugh whose writings have repeatedly made clear that he believes the president is above the law. this is a man, mr. kavanaugh, who worked with ken starr to go after bill clinton as president hammer and tong for alleged misdeeds, misconduct that he apparently had done. now, some 20 years later, that same brett kavanaugh seems to have rather than feeling that presidents definitely are not above the law, presidents have be to held accountable like anybody else, he seems to have done a 180

i remember there was a mother's day right after susan was born and it was mary landrieu with her adorable son sitting on the lap, who was at that age where he was just going to totally upstage mom for mother's day. and blanche lincoln was pregnant same time as i was. so it was great. and look, there's probably no easier job than being in congress when you're having a kid, because nobody's going to tell you not to bring your child around. so our babies were constantly with us. i mean, i went back to work right away, but i had a crib in my room. and if i had a meeting and she was sleeping, i would trade offices with my husband. literally, i would go in and i, i've got this meeting and susan's sleeping, can i be in your office. so my life was really very easy and very lucky. >> what was that, the media attention like during this time? >> so the media attention, because not only was, you know, two members married, but i gave birth a day before mother's day. so now you have the entire media world who's looking for that mother's day hook. john, get me something on mother's day, i got just the t
