and that included in particular susan b. anthony. this cartoon is featuring a line of women paying tribute to susan b. anthony who died before the federal suffrage amendment was passed but who actually introduced the original suffrage amendment in 1875. so you see women and children. you can see women who were college graduates in here. you see this little tag here. it says voter. and that's indicating western women voters who had the right to vote. and then up here you see a lone woman walking up the steps of the capital, up to the capital and that date 1875 when susan b. anthony first introduced that amendment. so 1875 to 1915. and the intent of this is to demonstrate how far we've come, but how long we still have to go. and this was fairly common for the national women's party. and for allender also to pay tribute to these original suffragists. and all of the work and progress that women have made, but also reminding their members how far they still have to go. and now let's go over to this cartoon. this cartoon is called, our hat

they make susan b anthony the honorary president. she is an elderly woman at this point, and she sailed through europe very shortly thereafter. crucially, the idea of suffrage and women having a say in american society, by 1890, relies not on the idea that everyone shall equal rights, but rather that some people belong in american society because of who they are. i talked about the rise of lynching after 1899 in the idea that certain african-americans did not participate in american society. i talked about the government using the troops in both homestead and palm against strikers. women aren't part of that. women want to suffrage and think they should have the suffrage because they are good wives and mothers. they are going to clean up american society. they are not going to ask the government for any special favors. they are on the right team, if you will. this is a powerful argument. the first woman elected to congress from montana in 1917 -- she is not the first to sit in congress. she is the first woman elected to congress. she

there's a lot of people like susan b. anthony said that maybe shouldn't have a say, maybe they shouldn't -- they should be taken into consideration. maybe class should be taken into consideration. maybe education should be taken into consideration. but women are good wives and mothers. they're going to vote the right way, so long as they are wives and mothers. in 1890, the year after that, mind you, there's no direct correlation. i'm just giving you the line here. the national women's suffrage association, american national women's suffrage association merge to become the national american women's suffrage association in 1890. what they do is focus on getting the suffrage, focus on getting the vote. this alienates a number of the people who had been part of a national women's suffrage association and they make susan b. anthony the president, the honorary president of this organization. she was an elderly woman, and she sailed for europe shortly after. it's clear her moment has passed and the focus will be on suffrage. crucially,

and that included, in particular, susan b. anthony. this cartoon is featuring a line of women paying tribute to susan b. anthony, who died before the federal suffrage amendment was passed, but who actually introduced the original amendment in 1875. you can see a group of women and children. you can see women who are college graduates. you see this little tag here that says voter indicating western women voters who had the right to vote, and then you see a lone woman walking up the steps of the capital, and that was in 1875 when susan b. anthony first introduced that amendment. the intent of this is to demonstrate how far we have come but how long we still have to go. this was fairly common for the national women's party and for allender also to pay tribute to these original suffragists and all of the work and progress women have made, but also reminding their members how far they still had to go. and then we circle over to this cartoon. this cartoon called "our hat is in the ring." and it was drawn and published on april 8, 1916. this c

if we talk about striving for women let's go back to how this started with susan b anthony and the republican party who pushed for the right for women to vote. the nation had to vote out democrats to make that happen. history is important to me as well. gunmac susan b anthony for both parties went to jail. she went -- >> she wanted to talk about -- gunmac talk about -- >> i want to talk about facts. the facts are just because hillary clinton has a resume everyone knows politics is about who you know, not what you know. people get moved up -- what you do when you hold the job title matters. that is wonderful to have that experience and be around all that for so long but it will also come back to hunt her. she has to explain the rise of isis under this last administration in which she was secretary of state. >> it didn't happen under this administration. go back 30 years, not fair to give that. we are talking about history and facts, susan b anthony is rolling over in her grave that you claim suffragettes have anything to do with what is happening with the republican party today. they would be

and these are women like elizabeth katy stanton and susan b. anthony who were very active in the abolitionist movement. they want a wide number of reforms for american women that are going to level the playing field between men and women with property ownership, divorce laws, the different economic inequalities between the sexes. and they are seen really as radicals. three months later, you get the organization of the american woman's suffrage association. and that's a much more moderate group. and it's an interesting group for my purposes today because it's formed primarily by lucy stone and julia ward howell. they demanded only the vote with the idea that once you get the vote, you have a say in your government and you can change the laws if you don't like the laws. now, this is always the part where i want to talk a little bit about julia ward howell. julia ward howe is the same woman who wrote the battle hymn of the republic in 1862. i've talked to you about her before. she begins to take on a much more public role during the civil war, especially

what happens is the association forms with women like elizabeth cady stanton and susan b anthony. they tend to be more radical . they want a wide number of reforms that are going to level the playing field regarding divorce laws and different economic inequalities between the sexes. they are seen as radical. three months later, you get the organization of the american women's suffrage association. that is a much more moderate group. it is formed primarily by julia ward and lucy stone. they demanded only the vote. once you get that, you can change the laws if you don't like it. this is always the part where i want to talk about julia ward howe. she is the same woman who wrote the battle hymn of the republic. she begins to take on a much more public role during the civil war especially through her writing. she is a brilliant thinker. she becomes involved in the american women's suffrage association because she really wants the vote. she is a much more moderate character than elizabeth cady stanton. she wants it for this reason. her husband is abusive and every time she wants to leav

someone was speaking at the susan b. anthony breakfast and the speech was pretty publicized in the first time the term mama grizzly became introduced into the political lexicon. what she said in a speech where she was warning political leaders to be weary of moms rising up in the tea party to fight against the government. these women are getting involved because they want a better life for their kids, all of our kids. these policies, the fundamental transformation we went about in the campaign. a lot of women very concerned about their kids features that we don't like this road we arrived towards national solvency. finally, the last motherhood frame related to the other two and lots of ways is the idea we should of limited government because that usurps the role of the family thereby fostering family disintegration. socially conservative women use this framework quite a bit. i interviewed essay mentioned earlier calling holcombe who is the d.c. director pushes phyllis schlafly is organization. i can see how government policies c

one of the characters is an inspiring suffrage is leader who helped get the susan b anthony amendment across the finish line >> one more question. >> hello, everything i read about lynn or seen on his twitter, it just seems like hiss pace is so frantic and almost like non- stop in hamilton and in one part of the book someone asked him if he's ever going to slow down, you write like you'ra running out of time and he said well, i am. do you share that sort of same work ethic as him or was a hard to keep up with his pace as you are working with someone who just literally never stop. >> we do kinda share the same work ethic. we both have to hit this deadline that they set for us.ng we had to keep turning out words as fast as we could, but lynn is a very rare, i've gotten to work with a lot of very talented people and there is something unique about that guy, about how closely he listens, the things he picks up that you don't think he's picking up, this bead that his brain is moving all the, time, even when you think it's not, it comes out when he does improv, he's part of a freestyle hip-

an example of this comes from sarah palin speaking at the susan b anthony breakfast, the speech that was pretty publicized, the first time the term mama grizzly was introduced to the political mexican. what sarah palin said was she was warning political leaders to, quote, be wary of moms who are rising up in the tea party fighting against big government. she said, quote, these women i getting involved because they want a better life for their kids, all our kids in these policies coming out of dc, fundamental transformation of america we were warned about in the campaign. a lot of women were concerned about their kids future, saying we don't like this fundamental transformation of america, this road we are on towards national solvency. the last motherhood frame talked about being related to the other two in a lot of ways, that we should have limited government because the large government usurps the role of the family fostering integration. a lot of conservative women i interviewed were active in the tea party framework quite a bit. this is an example of that. i mentioned the dc direc

himself from consideration as vice president, said the president of the national pro-life group, susan b. anthony list. his pro-abortion stance is unacceptable and would undermine the commitments trump has made throughout the campaign. today, flynn clarified, telling fox he's a pro-life democrat. his views sound more in line with trump and the republican party on the issue of illegal immigration. >> if they're here illegally, it's illegal. back to my very first point. the rule of law in this country is probably the single biggest strategic advantage we have over all other countries in the world. >> flynn served in a number of senior posts in the army including intelligence chief of the joint special operations command and u.s. central command. flynn was chosen by president obama to lead the defense intelligence agency in 2012 but said he was fired for trying to reform the military intelligence system. >> we don't know much about him except he's an ardent opponent of extremism. he's leading the effort to find major players in al qaeda and take them out. >> flynn has a book coming out tomorrow call

[ laughter and applause ] focus my attention to becoming a kardashian. that's -- they look like they're having fun. [ cheers ] they're doing it right. but the big speech of the night came from bill clinton. he opened by talking about the first time he met hillary in college. saying that he saw her in a a flowery dress with long blonde hair and that they talked and laughed for hours. [ laughter ] afterwards, hillary was like, aw, that wasn't me. [ laughter ] oops. [ applause ] i did it again. [ laughter ] i played with your heart. [ laughter ] i got lost in the game. [ ligh

first female mayor set up a sign next to susan b. anthony'sht you might like to know for the first time in history a woman is running for president representing a major party. 144 years ago your illegal vote got you arrested. it took another 48 years for women to gain the right to vote. thank you for paving the way. as i said a minute ago, i think that, i have a 10-year-old daughter, and she is looking at this. girls all over the country are looking at the fact a woman, whether you support her or not, a woman is there. >> i have three daughters, four granddaughters. i've been living in what i describe a kind of woman's world for the last 50 years. been the most interesting thing i've ever done, by the way. and i know how moved they are by this. but also they've got keen minds about what they want out of politics at this point. you cannot underestimate the impact that it will have on your gender across the country. people will be looking with a sense of pride at least at what hillary has accomplished. whether or not they go to the voting booth

now, already we are hearing from the head of the susan b. anthony list, the antiabortion group, saying that this essentially disqualifies flynn from being able to serve as vice president. so, within about 24-48 hours of flynn's name being mentioned, he's already stepping into some hot water. and meanwhile, alex, this is the week where we start to head into the premeetings ahead of the convention in cleveland. and you've got to imagine the gop delegates, something like this is not something they want to hear. these sort of hard-core conservatives, the most active conservative folks that are coming out to convention that are being named delegates whg out on the rules and platform committee. comments like that from flynn not ideal for them, presumably. so, a lot kind of happening this morning in the world of trump veepstakes as he heads to virginia tomorrow. >> hallie, my question to you is, are you hearing that trump is the one who's driving this extra scrutiny on general flynn, or is it advisers? i mean, is this something trump's calling the shots? >

. -- susan b. anthonyamendment across the finish line. >> one more question. >> everything i've read about lin or seen on his twitter, just seems like his pace is so frantic and almost like nonstop, like, in "hamilton" and says in the book someone asked him are you ever going to slow down yourself, write like you're return ought of time. he said, well, i. a do you share that sort of same work ethic as him o. wars it kind of hard to keep up with his pace when you were work with someone who never stops. >> we do kind of share the same work ethic. we both sort of -- we had to hit a deadline they set for us wimple had tone could churning out words. but lin is a very rare specimen. i have got top work with a lot of very talented people, and there's something unique about that guy. about how closely he listens, thing you don't think he is picking up, the speed his brain is moving all the time, even when you think it's not. it comes out when he does improve improv. he is part of a hip-hop team and is funny and co

woman to serve as mayor of rochester, new york, placed this sign in her city at at grave of susan b. anthonyf course, a crusader for rimwoman's rights, and abov all, the right to vote. "dear susan b., we thought you might like to know that for first time in history a woman is running for president representing a major party. 144 years ago, your illegal vote got you arrested. it took another 48 years for women to finally gain the right to vote. thank you for paving the way." mayor warren joins me. also with us, doug almet, also focusing on the significance of this moment. he is actually a republican, served in the reagan administration, and he is speaking tonight at the dnc. so tonight is special for two very different reasons. so nice to meet both of you. >> thank you for having us. >> ladies first, let me just ask you. what propelled you to put this sign next to her grave and what kind of -- what have people written on it? >> well, we just put it up on tuesday after -- on the day that we cast our vote. i cast my vote as a delegate. for me, it was really about the fact that i have a daughter

caller: rochester is the hometown of susan b anthony and mr. frederick douglass as well.h of them stood for civil rights being women's rights and women's rights being civil rights. of course, it is a huge dramatic, wonderful moment that this woman has come this far. if the folks who are busy accusing this particular woman would do their history homework, they would discover that it took 72 years for women to get the vote and it was hundreds and thousands of -- hundreds of thousands of women working for all those years against the biggest odds and even today there are issues with women being able to vote comfortably. so, of course, it is a huge deal. susan b anthony, i'm sure, is thrilled and proud to see a woman finally nominated and it has taken all these years -- we cannot even get the vote until 1920. as far as hillary is concerned i think part of what is going on out there is the issue she is dealing with is so complex and politics being what it is, people will say anything to attack the other side. some of the things people are complaining about, they just don't full

really the biggest moment in women's history since susan b. anthony the men in the family sitting in the audience looking at the women on stage was just different. >> well, it is different. you know, i've heard throughout the week people like shirley ch chisolm being mentioned. those women are already footnotes. hillary clinton is the nominee of a major party. so it was an awe inspiring evening. she she'll get a great bounce out of it. and then it's back to fist fighting all the way to november. >> so let's talk about that, douglas. because so much has changed since 2008 when hillary ran the first time, right, when pundits were talking about the difficulty of debating a woman. remember joe biden was coached on how not to appear condescending when he debating sarah palin? let me take our viewers back. >> can i call you joe? >> you sure can. >> thank you. thank you, gwen. thank you, thank you, thank you. >> welcome to you both as we have determined by a coin toss. the first question will go to biden. >> sarah palin tried to show joe biden off guard. she

be governor cuomo's partner in government, and as the first female mayor of the hometown of susan b. anthony who fought so hard to give women the right to vote, and home state of shirley chisholm, i am even prior to support a president who would care our progress forward and continue to champion the needs of working families. hillary clinton is the clear and best choice for president of the united states. [applause] but i tell you, in order for that to happen, we must return to our community and work hard to bring out the vote. and i can't wait to celebrate another historic victory as the party who elected the first african-american to lead our country. we will together elect the first woman to lead this country. i look forward to celebrating with you in november. thank you again. [applause] >> the rochester monroe anti-poverty initiative has become a statewide model thanks to the work of mayor warren and governor cuomo. let's give them a great big round of applause. [applause] >> before we move on to our next award, i want to just acknowledge some other great democrats who have joined us. w

platform has been called the most pro-life platform ever written for the republican party by susan b. anthony lists among others and your own judgment is the mood of the country there's no doubt about it on the acceptance of gays and lesbians and same-sex marriage has been almost velocity unprecedented. and are we fighting the last war i mean, really? >> 20 years a they were saying the same thing on the life issue. >> i don't think they said the same thing on the life issue. >> you couldn't get a republican cantate hardly that would come out -- candidate hardly that would come out pro-life. in this election cycle, of the 17, only one wasn't overtly pro-life. that issue has made a lot of ground in the last 43 years. it's an issue of -- that when you talk about a mother taking the life of her own child it violates nature. the same thing with marriage, that issue won't go away with republicans. by the way, there was a great piece in the huffington post today of analyzing the actual languish -- language, i was on the platform committee and i helped write it -- all the too talk about being anti-lg

you better go to google and susan b. anthony out and people of color we are left out because we don't exist. maria: does it surprise you that president obama couldn't do nothing? >> the congress wouldn't let him. it's got the lowest approval rating. we have to change the system for those who are underprivileged and denied and the white women and people of color so they are trying to make me go against trump. maria: good for you. how come you're on the team? >> donald trump at the club. i have a picture right now in my face here about me, fred and donald. donald was really young then but and always acted in first class. i love the man but i love america people more. america united standing together black and white alike. maria: what about pence, what are you expecting from mike pence tonight? >> well, you know what, it's the man, not the party, so whatever they do and however they do it, do your thing because i'm going to do mine with the african americans and with the people, the ones that are resisting and rejecting the establi

king, a susan b. anthony, the exceptionalism comes from a stonewall.vention, lots of flags. i didn't see those here. and that sends its own message. >> and you also didn't have -- i think you also didn't have the -- pretty much the republican convention, memory serves -- everyone ended their speech with god bless america. >> that's right. >> i don't -- i may be wrong but i don't think we heard -- >> you got a fair amount of that. i think that's part of, again, what made mrs. obama's speech so important. also because she has not been a partisan first lady. she has not been polarizing. i worked for president clinton. hillary was a trail blazer of the sort of a roosevelt and very polarizing. okay? mrs. obama is a unifying figure and she is -- >> deeply patriotic. >> she has focused on things we all agree on so when she stands up and says, i trust her, this person who is polarizi polarizing, i trust her with my children, this really is powerful. >> but pat smith entrusted her son to secretary clinton in benghazi and she didn't take care of her. >> that's a

talking in the break, no mention of margaret thatcher or current prime minister, theresa may and susan b anthonyd given the kind of speech that bill clinton had gave, you can bet that by now every last media organization would be out there vetting the story and saying is this story true? is this how it worked? an old college friend to say this, that and the other thing. as a matter of curiosity, are there people that will go through this -- >> probably, sure. >> every aspect of hillary's life has been vetted. i mean -- >> down to her hair bands. senator obama didn't overtly talk about being the first african-american and it works and you're right. senator mccain wasn't saying let's roll back the civil rights act and voting rights act and public accommodations act. donald trump has said i want to defund planned parenthood. i think women should be punished for having an abortion. he has picked as a running mate a guy who said he would shut down the entire federal government. in other words, the issues that -- >> you don't think that as if a candidate was a man those things would be as egregious fr
