host: lindsey mcpherson covers capitol hill for c.q. roll call. you can follow her on twitter @linsem cpherson. for the latest on that, we'll let you get back to it. reporter: thank you, appreciate it. host: we'll go to your reaction now. what you saw on the house floor today. no speaker has been elected, as you saw hakeem jeffries, the democratic leader from new york, he was able to keep his caucus in line, all 212 democrats voting for him. but you need 218 to become speaker. so while he had more votes on the screen than kevin mccarthy, he did not and he likely would not get six republicans to join democrats to give him to 18. kevin mccarthy needs 218 votes of the 434 that have been voting today and are expected to vote tomorrow. ira in california, let's hear from you, an independent. what do you think of what happened on the floor today? caller: i'm wondering why all the democrats sit together and all the republicans sit together, why don't these people come together? i remember in high school i'd go in and sit with people i didn't know and befo

and half of that team came from mcpherson, kansas not too far from here. and so i was at a middle school in desoto, kansas, outside of kansas city speaking about that. and there was a girl, the audience, who stood up and said, okay, this is the story of the first men's team. what's the story of the first u.s. women's olympic basketball team. and so it was standing on that stage, not too different from this at that middle school that i realized that's a book that i went to write. and all i knew at the time was the team had played at the 1976 olympics in montreal, which is the first olympics that i remember. i was six years old that year, but i realized that in telling the story, you could talk about you not just women's basketball, but the context of that would be women's rights movement of the 1970s. title which had been signed, was still sort of being implemented, not even fully implemented in 1976. and so you would have that is the backdrop of this story. that's why it appealed to me to write it. that's a really kind of amazing, especially because it's,

jim mcpherson, a great historian, civil war, thinks, well, you can't believe just one utterance of lincolnbecause that's the only time you really ever did. and i say, as the son of a psychoanalyst that one utterance can mean a great deal, can really show the inside of a person who's trying to keep that back. so i think lincoln was prepared to go for war if it was necessary he didn't think that the south would do this anybody wanted the union. and so he i think his finest hour was in stopping the nationalization, slavery, everything else flowed from that emancipation and union and maybe it's like electrons being in the same place simultaneously. i think lincoln was in the same place simultaneously with union and having to go to war to keep the union. but the ultimate reason to do that and keep the unions because, he needed a union for extinction of slavery. what is your thought? i think that's right. i think that peaceful extinction and ultimate extinction are two different things. i don't think think everything he did, as you're suggesting from the time he was elected, was to hold the line

that jim mcpherson has compiled again. we can see that they're slightly older than their american countered parts. the age plus named data can also reveal relationships between soldiers where it suggests relationships between soldiers. so there's a cluster of five greenwood enlistees h20 to 28. we wonder if alan gibson harris hogan and sesan greenwood who all mustered into the same company 1e on the same day, july 3rd 1861 at the same location at blackjack court ground. we're all related to each other where they brothers or cousins who enlisted together similarly joseph hunter h43 and style and hunter aged 18 both joined may tubby's company at goodland station on september 2nd 1864. could they have been a father and son in hopes joining together in hopes of watching out for one another these sources are modeling maddeningly sil. out such connections, but other data from the indian pioneer history collection, which is very similar to the wpa. slave narratives, but the informants and the indian pioneer history collection are

i think mcpherson and grant would've work well together, with mcpherson being the army of the potomac commander, and a glorified chief of staff. and just run the army while grant tells it what to do. as it was, meade was constantly feeling resentful of grant, he was always telling him what to do. it reminds me of a parent teaching your child to ride a bicycle. all right, now you get on the bicycle and you've got your hands on them. all right, meade is on the bicycle and grant is the dad. okay, you take your hands away. and they start wobbling, grab them again. it was kind of like that, grant keeps trying to take his hands away from meade. meade keeps making mistakes, which grant then has to intervene. you've got the problem that meade is upset because grant has intervened. meanwhile, meade has made several mistakes which costs the army a lot. that's a problem they have throughout this campaign. anyway, grant is going to command the army of the potomac. we've already been several times over the idea that there are a limited number of ways that you can take an army to richmond and suppl

the friend, the trans partizan friendships with mcpherson, richard bolling and such are interesting in the i mean i wonder how i wonder if that's less common today. oh i had lunch with i lunch. i had lunch with a friend today who carl j mart used to work for paul simon, a nazi composer feeling groovy. but the liberal democratic senator. and he said simon and jesse helms are really good friends. i mean, do i do a aoc and marjorie taylor greene share mimosas on sunday morning? i, i doubt it, but maybe they should. he would he would he hate this current. yeah i agree. landscape and had jimmy now we're talking we couldn't exist today. yeah and the way the house and senate run. well someone said a few weeks ago i don't know if j. mart agrees that ronald reagan wouldn't fit into this republican party now ronald reagan fit and sure as hell barber conable wouldn't. he would have been mortified. donald trump i absolutely yeah. and jan sixth. yeah, that would have killed him to see that. now but let me tell you somebody was asking me tonight why that because trump if he ran for reelection, he pr

myra mcpherson for the washington post is the first one, and then it begins, as press stories do, to to snowball. and it grows in jimmy carter's mind that that ted kennedy refused to shake his hand. and to this day, because it happened just four or five years ago, somebody asked him about that. he said it was reprehensible behavior. he was drunk and he refused to shake my hand and to say it's all over the videotape there's five handshakes, but there's just there's not the fighters clench i guy, sorry to interrupt you. no, no, no. i going to ask, were there members the family worried that he would be the third kennedy assassinated? they were. and he was too. he was too. oh, absolutely there are several instances where he let his guard down in those years, robert was killed and. the threats were real. i mean, the secret service and the fbi file is this thick of crazy folks who, you know, were found the bushes outside his house or. what's the name of the fellow that shot reagan? i want to say john hinckley. hinckley chapman was hinckley. hinckley tailed ted kennedy around washington for

and we have, you know, we also have some lbj related to harriet mcpherson's papers or with us, you know, with house busby pardon me. bill moyers. yeah bill moyers is another so just you know, it's that's really the connections are all over the place don you and your great have already set up a small exhibit of some of the items from the -- goodwin collection and everyone should go see this as i did for the third time i think this afternoon it has wonderful objects. a box that came from that was a gift from che guevara. but i think that my favorite are ones that mark updegrove alluded to in his introduction, the drafts of speeches, you can see how those famous words that were very often spoken by jfk or lbj were crafted through drafts and memos and all the rest that goes into a speech. those are some of my favorite items. and i've only, of course, seen a small. doris, let me ask you, what are some of your favorite items from the collection that we're getting? well, i think probably for me personally, what matters the most is that i wanted to know what my husband was like when he was a yo
