the republican party, so don't we just change the name of the republican party? so democrats will feel okay with voting for a republican. it's now called the national union party as of june 7th and 8th, 1864. they are looking for war democrats. remember, lincoln won the election in 1860 with only 39% of the vote which came from the north. they need to pick up at least another 20% from somewhere. they've got to get more republicans to the polls or they've got to have democrats who are enthusiastic about the war to come and vote republicans. they're also looking for voters out on the border states. the union sympathizers that have moved from, let's say, tennessee into kentucky because they were being persecuted for not being confederates, the republicans are running on a platform of unconditional surrender. there is no defeat here. the confederacy must cave in. and they're also running on a platform that there will be a 13th amendment. now, let's take a step back and say what did lincoln know about the 13th amendment? there's been two. the first one appeared in janu

i have seen the effects of the republican party that cowers in the face it -- the face of change. have seen a party that has devolved into fear and anger over hope and aspiration. i've seen a party that regresses into one of identity politics. a party that has become the home of an aggrieved racial minority, white in at is 80% state that is only 36% white. [applause] the california republican party has become a hollow shell of its former self. the birthplace of aspirational reagan conservatism has become a wasteland of dystopian trump nationalism. those of us working on the lincoln project will fight for a different future, and we want you to join us. [applause] as abraham lincoln did 160 years ago i want to conclude by speaking to my republicans, the average order -- the average voter. the people on stage have dedicated their lives, careers, to working for the values the republican party articulated here by abraham lincoln. we have worked alongside of you, registered voters with you, worked precincts and campaign. we have fought with you. we know you. you,ow that many of millions,

with partisan political behavior and the involvement of latinos in the democratic party, or the republican party, or a third party for latino's. like texas in the 1970s. the history of latino politics would be a much longer forced inclusion in political life -- i don't just mean in terms of parties, but recognition, civil rights, access to property and jobs. education. i would think of all of those things as part of the history of latino politics has been a real part of latino history and american history for a long time. i do think that both within american political history and the history of latinos and the united states -- histories of the involvement of latinos and partisan politics over a long period of time, is largely lacking. i think that there are individual books -- the bread and butter of the field of latino history as a field for a long time, has been community studies. i'm thinking about -- we will talk about books in a minute but, studies of texas and california. i think in those places, historians have looked at someone like edward roy for whom it was important to register latino

this is the republican party that i proudly called my own for over 30 years, but this is not the republicanarty of today. ours has become a party of fear, division, and fealty to a corrupt and dangerous leader. [applause] the party of trumpism cannot also be the party of lincoln. it is -- [applause] this is the terrible dichotomy that those of us who still hold dear the principles of our 16th president simply cannot reconcile. i am republican because i believe that the principles upon which our party was founded, the principles of lincoln, straightened and raised up everyone in our community, regardless of who they are or how they vote, republican or democrat, straight or gay, married or single, black or white. i am a republican because i believed all of those years that we were fighting for the same principle that abraham lincoln so eloquently articulated in this great hall so many years ago. of great nation ideals, built on shoulders of exceptional men and women, not republicans and democrats, but extraordinary americans, who lent its strength and courage and sacrifice. lincoln was not al

and for the republican party and dwight eisenhower, it worked. ly to attract a wider range of voters and to bring in new people to the republican party. and so i think that's a really key thing here. thinking about how you can use a new medium to bring in individuals that may not have been engaged in the political process before. they may not be invested in voting like workers are whose negotiating rights depended on building that new deal coalition or farmers who some of their economic interests depended on these new deal programs. rather, you're appealing to media consumers and finding a way to get them invested emotionally into the political process. so one of the effective things that eisenhower does is he brings these innovations from the campaign trail to the white house, itself. and transforms the white house into a production studio. and this is very literally, they took the basement -- or the basement kitchen of the white house and turned it actually into a production studio itself with cameras. and he had the help of robert montgomery wh

draw them in to the party especially as there undergoing the ship between the democrats and the republican partydemocratic party is changing and he is trying to pull in southerners and southern politicians into the republican party.>> absolutely. at the same time he is forced to finally take a stance on the little rock crisis and he does feel that it is his obligation 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 are thinking about ways to capitalize on the divides in the party between southern conservatives and more liberal northern democrats that want to act on civil rights. it is a calculated move in terms of how he frames it and you absolutely hit on that.>> i find it kind of ironic that he chose andrew jackson of all people when he was 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. also, one thing he makes very clear that this is to contin

what is it like to have that message gone from the republican party along with what jonathan said earlier? >> well, i appreciate that. it's a powerful loss. i mean, it's a loss of perspective, it's a loss of history, a loss of understanding within the party itself, what our journey from our founding in 1854, our first presidential election, which 160 years ago today began the convention that nominated abraham lincoln. so this is an historic perspective that we've lost sight of and what it means ultimately as a nation. but more specifically as a party to play a role in the very things that barack obama said. i had as national chairman my political as well as policy battles with the obama administration, but it never got to the point where we see it is now and that's what's so hurt fall and harming to the party as a whole. >> thank you both. we'll be back a little bit later on. coming up, trump america's science-free drive to reopen the economy. what could go wrong? that's next. o wrong? that's next. come on, no no n-n-n-no-no only discover has no annual fee on any card. but when allergies

there is pressure on the republican party. legacy of martin came refresher the democratic party. >> we conclude our books with race in america. the reality is, the election of the 45th president brought white supremacy out of the shadow. and that means that while that said, and that they are clearly involved in a lot of ways, allow more people could step to find their way to fight in the hope is that more people to figure out, since identified the ways they are already fighting because sometimes the day after the election, that was how he thought. but the hope is that people will identify the way they are already fighting and also linked to see what else they can do. >> just to add on, i think the one thing that we want to come out of this focus that we want to save the white supremacy. a lot of people say racial or racist. racially charged. it that's just racist. and also that is white supremacy. but for us because we wrote that the racial, we see these words all of the time. and we have a working definition but for many peopl

for the republican party. and koerner is there to help them with the german delegates and delegates from areas where there is a significant german population. oglesby is the guy who found the rail or found the guy who found the rail. he is going to be around. orval browning, you remember the letter lincoln wrote about the woman he thought he might have been engaged you and might have married and all that, that was browning's wife to whom he wrote the letter. and browning is a conservative whig who in fact was supporting bates. when somebody said browning is for bates, lincoln said bates will have no show and orval will be for me. and when he is he will help us with the bates man, and he did. herndon is lincoln's law partner. and, have you ever had someone around you where you want to keep them quiet at a certain time. in my house it is usually me they want to keep quiet. that is herndon, an abolitionist. he is very opinionated. and he really wants to be involved. lincoln's responses, we have so much legal work

and southerns are convinced this is all a republican plot.a the parties behind this. and there are a few republicans and some areresome abolitionis affiliated with the republicans and not from the standpoint of being members of the republican party any way, who did help brown. but most republicans are taking the position, no, we don't go for the violent result.for we are not in favor of what this guy did. anybody here who has lived up i the bay area? lake merced gets its moment in the sun. david brodderic was a senator from california. and a douglas man. big douglas supporter, big believer in popular sovereignty. now, remember when california ca came in the union,li the idea w it was a free state, vote with thewo northern free states. in fact, there were southerners who came to california, big surprise, the gold rush is just going to attract people from one part of the world. no. they're coming from everywhere. and there were plenty of southern politicians in the area and one of them was a lawyer named david terry. and terry and brodrick were rivals for power in califo

but none of these books talk about their actors in political terms as members of the republican partyor the democratic party. they're engaged in politics, but they're -- you know, lulac is a good example. i don't know that there has been an historian that has written about the political history of lulac. lulac has been engaged in all kind of things, but among lulac's leadership, some are republicans, some are democrats. they're often taken by historians to be a kind of conservative democratic organization where, you know, they -- at least it was an early requirement that all of their, you know, members speak english, that they be american citizens, that they pledge allegiance to the flag. so lulac is a good example of a group whose identity in political terms has been debated as, well, their politics are conservative or they're moderate democrats. but we don't know about their -- you know the political leanings of their individual members. so i look at, you know, all of the books out there about lulac as examples of how lots of histories of latino politics have been written but not of

it's going to hurt them, but they are so blinded by their ideology, both the benefactors of the republican party, and the republican senators themselves, that they can't get away from it. they are, they are caught in a knot. the days of a moderate thoughtful compromising republican senator, are just about over. look what they do to mitt romney. once in a while, they break from them, you know. >> one of the priorities, i think for both the benefactors of the party and mitch mcconnell and others is this idea of some kind of liability indemnification, that employers should be statutorily shielded from any civil suits, if they say open up a factory, or they open up a workplace and people come an get sick, what do you think of that, it seems to me that mcconnell is already setting that up as a must-have for him, in the negotiation that you and he i think will ultimately have. >> right. well, the bottom line is very simple. they want to say if an employer, a boss, says to a worker, you got to sit next to someone who has covid, or has all of the signs of covid without any protective equipment and you'r

republican party are so tied into this. they so own this, and now they can't run away from this. >> yeah. let me play a little bit more of -- absolutely. they can't run away from obama because he's speaking. i'm sorry, mitch mcconnell. here he is speaking at graduation earlier today. >> now, look, i know this isn't the commencement any of you really imagined because while our hbcus are known for academic rigor, community, higher purpose, they also know how to turn up. you're being asked to learn medal of a pandemic and terrible recession. timing is not ideal. let's be honest. a disease like this just spotlights the underlying inequalities and extra burdens that black communities have historically had to deal with in this country. >> first julani and then ej. what do you think will be the political outcome of this speech today? >> sure. first, i'd be remiss if i didn't mention i was a proud graduate of howard university, a hbcu in washington, d.c. so i was proud to see barack obama give that address today. on the other side

southerners are convinced thatis it is all a republican plot. the party is behind this. there are a few republicans, and some of them areabolit abolitionists, not really affiliated with the republicans and they are not doing it from the standpoint of being members of the of republican party anyw. we did help them? most republicans are taking then position, no. we do not go for the violentno result. we are not in favor of what this guy didat . anybody here who has lived upha in the bay area? lake merced gets its moment in the sun. david broderick was a senator fromsenato california. a douglas man. and big douglas supporter, biglr believer in popularve sovereignty. remember whenre california came into union, the idea was, it was going to be a free state, vote with the northern free states. in fact, there were southerners who came to california, big, surprise! the gold rush is just -- are they're coming from everywhere. there were plenty of southern politicians in the area and one of them was david terry. terryda and broderick were rivas for power in california democratic po

>> yes, my personal feeling is i regret the absence of a strong principled republican party standing p for its historic values against a president who doesn't even remember what those values once were and is really a party of his own, i would say. he was a kind of democrat for a long time in his earlier career and then became a republican for some reasons i understand and some i don't but i miss what used to be called a liberal republican and i'm from new england and we had a lot of them and they werewonderful people . in my home state of rhode island we had a great senator called john casey who i used to vote for and i also listen message and you will all remember elliot richardson, your watergate era who ran for senator and the very first vote i cast was for elliot richardson and i remember often in the writing of this book i had republican grandparents who were liberal new england republicans and i just wish more peoplelike that were around . they're good in both parties, the centers are good in both parties. we have been in the democratic party but they are not in the republican p

patriots, fiscally responsible, family, happy, all this good stuff and you could literally see the republican party under newt gingrich was the mode in which they bite out of the park all the real republican, called traditional republicans that they even label rhino even though it's the other way around, newt gingrich and the movement conservative again very powerful use of language. you could literally see them using the language to divide the country and into label half ofs negative and half of it as positive. so those were the two touchdowns for me, , but unkind remember, u talked about a similar touchdown i think in "the field of blood," did you. >> was certainly. wit you describe what i talked about an the snake just described with language is a small group of people creating a new lead. so capital, says sitting, just capitalizing those words helps to suggest there is in it there. conservatism and liberalism are not just words. they are capitalized. they are in it. the power of that is, in a way however is leading doesn't necessarily have an awareness of the power that they become and it just

narrow when it comes to these issues of poverty, jack kim and the others putting pressure on republican party the legacy of martin king on the democratic party. >> we conclude our look up race in america with color lines coeditors who discussed how to combat white supremacy during their talk and april 2019. >> the 45th president of white supremacy out of the shadows and that means there and boded in a lot of ways and also made people step up to find their ways to fight, this helps people figure out to identify the ways they are fighting and that does look like getting up, the day after the election, that is how we saw. but the hope is the way that identified in early fighting and also to see what else they can do. >> just to add on, i think one thing we want to come out of this book, we want to in the taboo was saying white supremacy, a lot of people say racial, racist. >> racially charged and also that's white supremacy, for us we worked at racial justice and we see these words all the time, we hear activist using those words all the time and we had a working definition but many people who d

>> i think that the republican party can always do better.nk that we should always want to be better. no matter what situation we are in and i look at the fact that you are a strong republican woman and we have strong republican women and we need to continue to encourage women and i want women involved, republican or democrat, we are 51% of the population and we need to have as many women out there using the power of their voices wein can. [applause] do i want them to be republicans? of course i do but having said thatof it's tough right now because what i have found is the left is really hard on republican women. they really give us a hard time if we don't think like they do. you can turn on the tv and you see how toxic it is and can see all the reasons it would be tough for women to do that but i constantly and being hit from the left for being a woman or indian and i saw at least -- no no one was being hit by the left as well and we just get badgered. the only way to fix that is to get more of us out there and more of us using the power of

the republican party, the brand-new republican party. that is on the one hand, the push for the inclusion of african-americans men in the declaration of independence. in the idea that they too should have equality of opportunity. and you get that push obviously during the civil war. you also get, during civil war with republican party get a rejection of the idea the few wealthy men to run the country pretty get the the idea that the government itself should be the government of the people by the people and for the people. and that's in ways that we tend to forget today. and obviously the inclusion of african-american men and that definition of the politics. is the homestead act which offers preplanned. actually american indian land. but land to farmers, to grow crops and make money and the beat of early mobile. we get the establishment of a public university. establishment of the department of agriculture you can get really good seed into the regular farmers printing we get to the pacific railroad act. in the northern pacific which is de

in case you missed it the republican national party, the congressional committee, and the california gop announced the something that the president himself has said as well. back on may 8th governor gavin newsom by executive order called for all registered voters to get a mail-in ballot. the republican party says that arbitrarily changes voter registration which will call integrity and accuracy of voter rolls. california will continue to defend californians' rights to votes including their right to vote by mail and their right to hold an election that is safe, secure and accessible. voters shouldn't have to choose between their health and right to vote. governor newsom will address that today along with entering phase three which a lot of folks are also talking about. a lot of folks are eager to open churches, salons and gyms and not just the folks looking to attend or get services but also the smallowinuch longer they can last. the governor hinted last week that phase three might begin in june, which is, of course, already coming up next week. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >>> g

party come up. you're a republican. how did this get political and partisan? why does anybody look at this through any lens other than the science and the public health guidance? >> it's unfortunate that that happens. we're obviously in an election year. you have the house of representatives, which is, you know, which is a balance for, you know, a potential shift. you have obviously the presidential race. it's unfortunate that just about everything that gets debated and discussed right now at this point is viewed through a partisan prism, and i think that's extremely dangerous, particularly for something of this magnitude, which is a public health crisis. this should be something that is done with the public health experts we've hired, biostatisticians. we've worked with obviously epidemiologists whether it's the department of health or outside experts. we've obviously worked tremendously with the business community to try to understand what their needs are and what is reasonable and what is not reasonable in terms of a reopening, but you know, as a public off

the republican party now is working very hard to promote vote by mate among older white voters who have been the base. he's turning against a tactic republicans use. and his campaign talks about their success at promoting vote by mail. again, it is about laying a rhetorical ground work to question the legitimacy of the election in november. the big question is whether states will be able to handle the increase. in arizona and michigan and florida there is a tradition of voting by mail. people have done it. in north carolina and pennsylvania, and wisconsin. not much about one in 20. if you're up to four in ten or five in ten. there's a huge challenge and it's not clear the states are up to to. >> we'll be watching and following. appreciate it. alarming spikes in new crisis coronavirus cases hitting some states now including several in the south. what's behind the increase.

simply add that the act also accelerated the demise of the whig party and led to the rise of the republican party which was a regional party. the republican party was not represented in the south. it was the election of the republican president, abraham lincoln, without southern electoral votes that prompted south carolina and 10 other states to secede from the union. host: a couple of technical questions. they want to know your advice on this. the first one comes from sydney from pius x catholic school in lincoln, nebraska. she wants to know how you correctly cite a document? we have another question, i will add it to that from one of our online followers, who wants to know, will the question be same for everyone on the test? start with jason and go to matthew. guest: to the first question, there is no official way in which you have to cite your documents. citeommended my students them at the end of the sentence where they use them in a parentheses where it says doc a or doc b. matt, how do you have your students cite their documents? guest: that is exactly the same way i encourage my students t

movement on healthcare coming out of the industry and mitt romney that he is somebody in the republican partydid decent things with healthcare that's where it comes from to be honest about that. let us try to tell the truth deeply narrow when it comes to these issues and then to put pressure on the republican party and on the democratic party. >> the election of the white supremacy to come out of the shadows and that means that they are emboldened in a lot of ways that people find ways to fight that wants to identify the race but the day after the election - - it's how we saw that the hope is that people identify and also to see what else they can do. >> the one thing to come out of this to end the taboo to say white supremacy but racial and that's just racist. and to say that is white supremacy. and we hear active issues us all the time. and many people who don't do this kind of work because we really want to talk about the systemic the underbelly of the system and have a particular system that is considered to be interpersonal? that you can break it down and do some work and then one said t

that the when the republican party got comfortable with donald trump when he said i'll deliver the judges you want. and he has delivered. is it your sense that republican politics is much more aware of the urgency of getting control of supreme court appointments and the democratic side of the politics pays much less attention to that and more attention to other issues? >> there is a belief among democrats and the press, oh, none of this is political but it's become highly political, and the people who are behind these groups are not just dish experts but many of them that give the money are hard, hard right whose views are not with the main stream of the republican party, they are further over. they have a lot of money and weight and power. we've seen the koch brothers, how much power they had over the republican party and influencing elections and they get something done. i think that democrats will have to realize this and the best thing we can do is we don't want to do the kinds of things they do. but we should be exposing this. and showing the american people how they're trying to thr

remember, the republican party remember the republican party didn't come into being until 1856 after the kansas/nebraska act. in opposition to its core purpose is opposition to the extension of slavery and to the territories. this issue cracked the democratic party in 1860. there was the southern wing and the northern wing. they couldn't decide on what the policy should be. stephen douglas is the leader of the northern faction. he said let the people decide. let the people of those territories, popular sovereignty, let them decide what to do. southerners said the government should protect slavery in the territories, because it's federal land and slavery is property and property is protected upped the fifth amendment. they should be protected there throughout the territorial period. so slavery in the territories was the highest number of issues in these 67 amendments. fugitive slaves was not surprisingly the second most popular. there weren't many fugitive slaves. but it was a passionate issue. the south was very passionate about having those damn yankees return their slaves to them wh

i can say this, the republican party cannot let it happen. go ahead. >> you know gavin newsom, governor newsom has not sent out ballots to everybody in california. they are only going to registered voters. >> how many are there? >> what your tweet said was not wrong -- it was not correct. it was wrong. >> oh, really? when he sends out 28 million ballots and they are in all the mailboxes and kids go and raid the mailboxes and they hand them to people that are signing the ballots down at the end of the street, which is happening, they grab the ballots, you don't think that happens. there's ballot harvesting -- we had seven elections for congress. they came and dropped a whole pile of ballots on the table. you don't think they rip them out of the mailboxes? all the time. you can read about it. take a look. in some cases, they won't -- [inaudible] -- to a republican community, a conservative community, they don't happen to send the ballots to those communities. there's no way of checking. no. you have to go and you have to vote. voting is a great

c1 g have any sense there's any element of today's republican party that she feels she could have some kind of good faith dealing with? either in the house, and the administration? >> guest: well, she certainly likes some of the republican governors. she has been dealing directly with a lot of the popular blue state governors have been on the front lines of the coronavirus response. i recently profiled governor of maryland, larry hogan who's got to know him nancy pelosi little bit surprisingly to them both. i think she is one of these, you hear this a lot from democrats these day i miss the old republican parties back when republicans were nice and gentle and you could deal with them, but look she was literally born into the democratic party there's never been any doubt about her partisan loyalties. she describes her upbringing that way. she said is the catholic church in the democratic party where she came from. and there is an anecdote early in the book where she just moved to california with her husband who is in finance, therefore young children there soon to have another, they jus
