day. >> so, jim, you heard what stewart said. he said about half the people. i'm going to give you the numbers. more than 68.5 million people, right, that's over half the ballots cast during the 2016 election. they've already voted. does that mean higher turnout, or is this just people voting early who would have voted election day and, i mean, is any of this factored into the polling, into the models? >> into the models definitely. every morning both campaigns are getting the numbers of people who voted the day before, who they were. a couple interesting things are coming to light, don. both the democrats and the republicans' base of super voters are both voting in a very big number. but where you see democratic advantages are in the sporadic voters, voters who don't always vote in presidential elections. and especially young voters. i mean, a quarter of new voters who didn't vote in 2016 in texas are voters under 30. if you're the republicans right now, you're looking at that number and you're beginning to panic. the reason why joe biden is in georgia today

stewart: the question was about clay being elected to speaker as a freshman. clay was elected speaker the very first day he was a member of the house. keep in mind, he had been speaker of the kentucky legislator and he had been a u.s. senator a couple of times, so he was not exactly a neophyte. likewise, pennington was elected speaker in his first term as well, although pennington had been the governor of new jersey. and in fact, i did not get into the details, but although he was a neophyte in the house of representatives, actually he was the key player in this disputed election case involving new jersey when he had been the governor of new jersey. so he was well aware of organizational things. but yeah, clay was definitely a different guy. special guy. richard: we are going to ask you to speak into the microphone so we can capture you on tape. >> seems like a lot of what we are talking about today is centralized power. you have a very top-down structure. that necessarily was not always the case. committees have also been incredibly powerful throughout the course of the history of the have delegateds p

days, and weeks, and months, and this seemed cool. exactly the sort of thing you want to take on after you get tenure, not afford. [laughter] mr. stewart: i got tenure and i got to do these fun things. i started to piece together the history. frederick muilenburg was the first speaker. although it was not nearly as sexy and exciting as nathaniel banks, they had to injure a multi-ballot contest to be elected speaker. it turns out that it used to be very common, not just the famous cases of nathaniel bangs, a very common in the antebellum period to have real elections and real fights. i will come back to that. , then he hazard was speaker of the house -- benny was speaker of the house when i started. if you were to fast-forward to the president, you would see quite a different story. you would see almost a kabuki theater set of performances upon the convening of every house of representatives. where somebody bleeding the majority party would nominate someone for speaker and someone from the majority -- minority party would nominate. all the d's would vote for democrats and all the r's would vote for republicans. whoever would win, everyo
