the rights of african-americans. a pretty sharp indictment of the american people, the american system. reflected perhaps reconstruction had been a mistake along, that the restoration of civil government had been a mistake. it had been better to have a prolonged federal occupation. way would be the only african-americans would have their rights protected, at the point of a bayonet since they were being denied by a hood and a noose. perhaps this was the wrong way of going about things. since we have given blacks to vote we must honor that pledge. maybe it would have been better to not allow anyone to vote. but the mind of the american people is against that. it is hostile to military government. we don't want that. we want a restoration of the union and civil government even if that civil government ends up not protecting the rights of some citizens. returning to the united states grant became a candidate for a third term, lost the republican .omination after many ballots those brokered conventions we heard about. it was a marathon that resulted in the nomination of james garfield. grant

there is a lot of river in the system but one of the challenges and i had a conversation with the senior advisor on an economic policy to gave me a hard time about the american political system the risk for the chinese for better or for worse than in times of violation and of course, the question for china is a few clampdown too much with the discontent we put the lid to tight then there is a problem. >> let me add one thought we talk about this with the media but it is not in anyone's interest to be a drastic rapid change of government with political turmoil over the financial markets to crash the world economy i don't think we should be hoping for that. >> something we have not talked about how about political stability in india at very different levels? any concerns about that? >> it is more like the american system of governance may not be perfect a lot of my indian friends are frustrated but it is a balance and in india they were fed up and they threw them out so now you have a government that is not able to move as quickly because there are interest groups within the central government but most importantly the states of india has so much power and is s

the broad american narrative. i think there was some good that came out of it for the political system. we have a two-party system and always have. we talked about this yesterday on our panel. it focused on new perspectives and american socialism and that is one of the nice things that comes out of this. challenging the two-party system. host: in addition to eugene debs, who were the other major players in the socialist party? prof. johnson: someone like victor berger, from milwaukee, wisconsin, a working-class town. he served in congress. was later denied his seat because of world war i and objections to u.s. involvement in world war i. another person i think is interesting and closer to my research and heart was a man called lewis duncan, the mayor of butte, montana, from 1911-1914. it does not seem like a huge electoral victory, but it was the quintessential mining town and he was able to capitalize on the labor vote and win that election and serve as a pretty productive mayor for those three years in representing the socialist party and labor. so there are those kind of figures that

the way he does. his theory is there's a lot of rumors in the system. they were giving me a hard time about the americanpolitical system, sort of making the suggestion that is in the chinese better. i think the risk for the chinese and what i said to him was in the united states what you are seeing is a lot of discontent being played out within our political system, for better or worse because that's what our political system allows. rather than than playing out on the streets in terms of violence or demonstration. we invite that much. of course the question for china is, if you clampdown too much and there is discontent, what is the outcome. if you put the lid too tightly on a boiling pot, at some point there's a problem. >> let me add one thought on this. i think we speculate about this stuff a lot in the media and in policy, i think it's not in anyone's interest for there to be a drastic change in government in china. political turmoil in china, think about the financial markets so i don't think we should be hoping for any type of overthrow. >> let me ask you something we haven't talked about. how ab

the american governmental system is a true wonder here at having the opportunity to travel the world and some of the worst places in the world, what we do here cannot be easily translated into another culture. it is difficult. we need to understand how blessed we are to have a legal system we basically inherited from the british. we need to protect it, students, graduates, and extended into the future. you cannot have a sophisticated, highly developed economy without the ability to sign complex contracts and have those be enforced fairly around the country. further, always improve, get better. a lot of people start out nervous and work really hard, they learn the basics of the work they are undertaking, and then they get comfortable. and begin to plateau, to coast. do not coast. a strong message from me to you is that learning never ends. subscribe to the best journals in the profession you are seeking. keep reading about it and attend the seminars. get better at whatever you do and you will never regret it. finally, savings. i'm a member of the budget committee. we look at our debt.

things that are totally distracting -- distractive and unconnected to what's going on in the american political system. the american people care about what is going to happen to their lives. about change. and the issues of brexit, this kind of phony ad, doesn't address those things. and hillary clinton is ignoring the reality because she's part of the establishment. she can't get away from the fact that she is part of the problem that's being rejected. >> both candidates are using the british referendum to boost their war chest. trump, and clinton, each sent e-mails to supporters friday night asking for campaign contributions. new national polling brought defiance from the trump campaign, rejecting the notion that the republican fell behind in the month of june. the nbc news/"wall street journal" poll has clinton leading trump by five points 46% to 41%. a two-point shift from last month. whereas a new "washington post"/abc news poll has trump plummeting to a 12-point deficit 51% to 39% down from a two-point lead in that poll last month which is also the last national poll that showed him ahead. an exp

the view i have of the american system of government is that every american is intended and meant to ve a say. laws are developed and voted on by the people that are chosen. those are then interpreted by the courts and enforced as is by the executive branch. but in recent decades, the executive branch and its bureaucratic agencies have stepped far beyond the carefully designed balance of power, by creating rules and regulations that have the same impact as law but go far beyond the scope of any existing laws. to this point, it's no secret that texas will be particularly hard hit by the environmental protection agency's clean power plan. these regulations are anticipated to increase retail power prices in my home state by 16%. and when family budgets are -- can'thed too thin, they afford this rate hike. the local coal-fired power plants in my district have already announced that they simply can't afford to remain open if they're forced to comply. this means a loss of jobs, it eliminates an affordable source of energy for the folks back home, and it saddens me to see a circumvention of

power is more widely dispersed in the american system than other systems. american political parties are .eak and may be getting weaker political leaders depend, for positions, on popular sport. the development of the two-party system, really in the 1790's, i would say, to resin day, the two political parties have jockeyed for dennis. many leaders have found the most effective way to get the attention of a generally parochial public, i'm sorry to to scorecongress and points against the other party is to exaggerate a given threat in the most vivid terms possible. what i am suggesting to you this evening is from an early point , key players and american society realized their fundamental interest lay in denying the united states was secure, no matter what was happening overseas. talking of the threat. and the politics of security became the mention -- and the politics of security. each new generation of politicians rediscover the formula ofitical talking tough on communists, foreign and domestic, often irrespective of what was happening overseas. meanwhile, po

how does that work through the chinese system as compared to working through the american system or theerman system? it is a different rulebook. what is going to be the outcome in those brutal moves in chinese private and public debt? enda: one outcome could be an escalation of bad debt among the banks. we may need to see a major recapitalization of the banks to the tune of potentially hundreds of billions, along the lines of what we saw in the early 1990's. the big worry for china is that the extent of its debt to pay for the buildup and the level it has is really what the worry is. it is not the overall level. it is the fact that it is still an emergency -- an emerging economy and still has debt due and a half percent times. i think the fear is debt among the zombie companies was saddled with banks going forward, that will drag on growth and cause the comp -- the government to recapitalize these banks. that is one scenario that could play out. tom: enda curran in china this evening. this will be the major story today without question, except there is a modest vote in the united kingdo

the judge for being mexican. donald trump said he could not trust the system to give him a fair shake. now, the american judicial system, conservatives and liberals can agree, is every fabric of our society, it gives us the rule of law -- donald trump a couple of weeks ago did not trust the government. the other day, he wanted to have the nra change their position on the terrorist watch list. a list brought up where no one knows how it is established. suddenly he trusts the government to lose their constitutional rights without due process. so which is it? does he trust the government, does he not trust the government? this coming from a guy who says if he commands the chief of staff to torture people, he will do it. which of course, he backtracked on. there are remarkable inconsistencies with donald trump illustrating to us what his conservative principles are. if any. that concerns me deeply. if donald trump becomes party leader it could set the movement back several generations. >> talking about some of his values, do you think donald trump shares your values? >> i think that is where the question li

the american dream. they are paid until the 1970s-- they're paid more every decade. it's remarkable, the american wage systemndred years before the 1970s, wages go up and americans could afford with a rising wage to have a higher standard of living, which is half the reason why millions of immigrants came from all over the world. in the 1970s, as i hope most of you know, real wages stopped rising in the united states and have never resumed. that was, of course, a crisis for the american worker, who had promised to himself, to herself, to his and her children the american dream--a home, a car, a vacation, a college educacation. all of i. what a torture to a population that has learned to believe that with every decade, you'll make more money and that'll allow you to have these better ththings and to give them to yoyour children, and you promise it and you believe in yourself, as you're capable of d doing i, and suddenly the wages don't go up anymomore. and it's not explained to people that the wages didn't go up anynymore. they're just left without the wherewithal to achieveve the american dream. and if you d
