palen was in the governor's seat -- sarah palin was in the governor's seat. think she will be familiar with some of those things. i think there is a good camaraderie to have for her to be as friendly as she was prayed i think it is a good idea. i think that advice is good advice. to some extent, i think harris will have to trust people around her who she does not know. a few of the people in biden's camp were sent over to work for her. i don't know whether that is something they negotiated in advance or how you deal with that. the job is just huge. you have to have some people around who you don't know. i think that the advice is good to be thoughtful about what they are doing and being thoughtful about being muzzled. she was chosen for who she was. i think palin was chosen for who she was. part of the problem palin had was that people worried about her preparedness, worrying about how much she read or did not read. she did not have the time to get up to speed on some of the things for the election. those are not things that i think harris has to deal with. h

convention, we show past speeches from two women vice presidential speeches, geraldine ferraro and sarah palen. >>> next a visit to the smithsonian's national portrait gallery. kate clarke lemay gives american history a guided tour of an exhibit marking the centennial of the 19th amendment. she shows how the movement intersected with the abolitionists and temperance movements. this is the first of a two-part program. >> hi, everyone. welcome to the national portrait gallery as the smithsonian institution. i'm kate clarke lemay and i'm the curator of votes for women. for this exhibition, i worked about 3 1/2 years, researching, teaching myself this history and finding all the objects. in the exhibition, we had about 124 objects of which there are 63 portraits and in curating the exhibition, i was hoping to commemorate the 19th amendment and tell the history of the 19th amendment and how women lobbied to get this amendment passed and ratified. but also ask questions about it and ask what does it do and what does it not do? and why 1965 and the voting rights acts is considered another sort of par

last year, it made national news on your program when we discovered $4.6 million was spent on lobster palen sno wcrab in the fiscal year. year, the numbers on the lobster tail and snow crab are million.the same, $4.6 the distribution on what was spent on lobster versus the crab are much different. this year, we are choosing to highlight the $88 million spent by the pentagon on public relations. last year, they spent the million dollars on professional bull riders association. this year, they are just spending a lot of money overall on general advertising for the includingtes military on specific contracts on social media to promote their air and water shows eerie -- shows. host: democrats line. caller: about the fiscal year spending, this gentleman is totally correct. there is nothing wrong in what he said. i used to work for the elementary school back in the early 1990's. , end-of-the-year, i'm talking about schools now. he never mention the schools when he was talking to you, but your teachers are all the time out there wanting more money because they are on strike or whatever. during the

>> laura: i think i'm again, sarah palin's speech in 2008 actually laid out the vision for mccain-palenhey wanted to do for the country. and she was trashed in the nicole wallace, all these people who didn't like the vision i guess, or didn't like her. but it was a better speech than this. this was just a walk down memory lane, plus donald trump's incompetent -- blah, blah, blah, same old stuff with art in any given night on any of the other cable, so how does that make her different? i think she was poorly served, i think pastor scott is absolutely correct there. >> well, the problem for kamala harris is that her record as a prosecutor is very infuriating to the progressive left. that's not something she could possibly have highlighted because it would have actually boomerang on her. so then we come to all that she really has left, which is the identity politics narrative. the first black woman narrative and to make that work, she has to be a genuine victim, she has to ultimately be someone who was done wrong by society, but in reality of course, a life of one almost unadulterated priv

little bit of , the careful rollout we saw with sarah palin, a campaign i covered back in 2008 where palent do much interaction with reporters. she didn't go to the back of her plane and weigh in on whatever the latest that was happening in georgia or what have you. they kept her sequestered until they had these big moments. did all ofson, they these big network interviews and blew up. test.didn't pass that thosek after she had interviews, i can see russia from my house, it was hard to recover. the biden campaign has done many more interviews in sarah palin, but the taste and pressure to get it right is more similar to a traditional campaign and more similar to what the mccain palin ticket did. mccain talked to his press corps all the time. it was a rolling conversation, but once we got to this stage of the campaign, it was difficult to get time with mccain. it was difficult to sit down with him and they were very tight on candidates time because they knew the precious resource and they also knew there is always a risk reward. the risk is that the candidate gets off message and makes mista
