the republican convention held in chicago, nominating warren g. harding.he democrats met in july of 1920. they nominated franklin d roosevelt as vice president. out in thesue play party convention? guest: it did. at the republican convention, there was a lot of photographs and images of the national women's party, including alice paul herself going to the convention and protesting outside the convention. you might ask, why were they protesting at the republican convention? republicans were more supportive of women's suffrage earlier than the democratic party. the reason was they were marching toward trying to find 36th state to ratify. states that were potential ratification possibilities, but they were both headed by republican governors. that was vermont and connecticut. what they did was go to republican conventions and protest outside to try to get warren harding to strong arm or convince those two republican governors to take up women's suffrage in the state legislature and call a special session. they thought, correctly, that if a special session was

they were not successful in convincing warren harding to put the pressure on those two governors to havethem take up the suffrage debate in state legislatures. they also went to the democratic convention, as you mentioned, in san francisco, and the main goal there was to make sure that the 19th amendment and support for women's was included in the platform, and they were successful there. host: this is a what if question. had tennessee not ratify the 19th to mimic, what would have happened next? what was the next state in line? guest: those two states in line next were those northeastern states, that is probably where it would have gone, but it would have never happened with enough time to have women vote in the 1920 election. so most likely, that would not have happened until 1921. and it might have been favorable, you know, you would think that it would be favorable after tennessee actually voted to become the 36th state. both of those other states did fall in line and ratify, subsequently, but would have never happened for women to have the vote for the 1920 election. host: of course

they were not successful in convincing warren harding to put the pressure on those two governors to havetake up the suffrage debate in the state legislatures. they went to the democratic convention as you mentioned in san francisco and the main goal there was to make sure that the 19th amendment and support for women's suffrage was included in the platform and they were successful there. >> this is a what if question. had tennessee not ratified the 19th amendment, what would have happened next? what was the next state in line? >> well, the two possible next states in line were those northeastern states. and that's probably where it would have gone. but it would have never happened before -- with enough time to have women vote in the 1920 election. so most likely that wouldn't have happened until 1921. and it might have been favorable, you know. you would think it would have been favorable after tennessee, actually, voted to become the 36th state. both of those other states did fall in line and ratified subsequently. but it would have never happened for women to have the vote for the 1920

you have calvin coolidge along with warren harding who ran for president on the republican party ticket in november of 1920 and this is from october of 1920, exclaiming 2 women, for your own good vote for the republican party, republican ticket. they are producing this recruitment published in vogue and also the little ribbon that says under the nineteenth amendment i cast my first vote november 2nd, 1920, but clearly engaging the new female voters so harding and coolidge, the straight republican ticket and on the piece of paper on which the ribbon was sold it said souvenir of the greatest event of my life so they really dramatize the act of voting but for some women it was the greatest event of their life, amendment they had achieved, the first step towards equality and gaining a more democratic experience as a citizen of the united states and the voting rights they had achieved. in the concluding gallery of this exhibition i went to point out the text of the nineteenth amendment and what it says and what it doesn't say. the rights of citizens of the united states to vote shall not be

go back to 1920, because the republican convention was held in chicago, of course nominating warren hardingand calvin coolidge. they nominated james cox and franklin roosevelt as vice president. did this issue play out and either party convention back then? >> yes, it did. at the republican convention, there was a lot of photographs and images of the national women's party, including alice ball herself. actually going to the convention and protesting outside of the convention. you might ask, why were they protesting? because republicans, historically were more supportive of women's suffrage earlier than the democratic party. well, the reason was that they were marching toward trying to find this elusive 36 state to ratify. and there were two states that were potential ratification possibilities, but they were both headed by republican governors. and that was vermont and connecticut. so what they did was go to the republican convention and protest outside to try and get warren hearting to strong-arm or force or convince those two republican governors to take up women's suffrage in the state

warren harding saw this a little quicker than he did. hughes recognize the truth that it was really a fool's errand to go back there. he moved on from there. he stayed. he talked about resigning. he pioneers and international disarmament in a groundbreaking navy treaty which casts the ratio of 10-10-6. he scrapped and lot of heavy battleships. this is a good deal for the united states because with our congress, we were not about to spend the money on the military. we would have lost ground to japan in that decade. he also moves on to other treaties in the far east. he gets japan to give back to china which was a major accomplishment. going into that decade, the united kingdom, britain, was united in treaty -- if they were attacked or the other party was attacked, they would go to war. the other party was japan. it was a fear that if we got embroiled in a controversy with japan, we might have to go to war with britain on that. he broke that treaty very smoothly. one thing he was not successful at was the emigration treaty with japan which

you have calvin coolidge running for vice president along with warren harding ran for president, for the republican party ticket in november, 1920. this is a broadside from october, 1920, exclaiming to women, for your own good, both far-right the republican party, the republican ticket. so they are producing all of hemera, andment ep material culture, in the form of a yellow ribbon, and it says, under the 19th clearly it was engaging as the new female voter. and then on the piece of paper where the ribbon was sold, it says souvenir of this greatest event of my life. they really dramatize the act of voting. for some women this was the greatest event of their life. it meant they achieved the first step toward equality. and gaining a more democratic experience as a citizen of the united states through the voting right they have achieved. in the concluding gallery of this exhibition, i wanted to point out the text of the 19th amendment and what it says and doesn't say. it reads the right of citizens of the united states to vote shall not be denied by the united states or by any state on

>> wilson left office and the process of putting pressure on the president began again with warren harding. people work -- people in the amnesty movement were a lot less optimistic. harding was a conservative, pro-business republican who seemed to have less motivation. there were plenty of socialists who supported wilson. it seemed like wilson would be the one to let the socialist out of prison. harding, he campaigned on the idea of returning the country to a pre-war normalcy, to stop these tensions. the amnesty movement was not just the election, but it was a huge movement. there were petitions being gather on the streets and all across the country. massive petition drives. they would have to bring the petitions in on the back of a pickup truck to deliver to the white house. many people from across the europe and the united states, george bernard shaw, hg wells, helen keller, many many people were involved in this movement to get the prisoners out. for harding, he had no interest in inheriting this mess. from wilson. in the name of normalcy, he waited a little while and then he let him ou

the public was established in 1925, named for the late president warren harding who died in office while visiting san francisco two years earlier. it fell out of repair and suffered the indignity of being used as a parking lot in 1998 when nearby olympic club was being used for the u.s. open. the two-time defending champion on the mindset necessary to win against the best in the world. >> the whole goal is to be the best player. if you're not trying to do that, then i don't know what you're doing. i'm not out here to try to compete and have fun. i'm out here to win. winning is number one. that's the goal. >> in a normal year, all four majors would have been played by now. this year the pga will be the first. it will be without fans, with social distancing and sanitary precautions. but will also feature the best golfers in the game and that should make for plenty of tv drama when it all gets started tomorrow morning at 7:00. and guys, stop me if you've heard this before, but it's like nothing that we've seen previously when it comes to sporting events but we are happy that it's going to b

landslide victory, they help give a landslide victory, to the republican presidential candidate, warren harding, who, not knowing much at the time, was a womanizer, and was also tended toward allowing his cronies to run free and run a corrupt administration. that is what he is known for now. but he looks presidential, they gave him the vote. what happens, though, is now, only one out of three eligible women has gone to the polls. the press goes to carrie katz -- carrie catt and says, so you are working on this for seven decades, what happened? why aren't all women running to vote? she explains it and says, you know, voting is a learned habit. you have to learn to get in the groove that you vote in every election. women do not have that. they have it in a few states. it is very new to them. even in new york, they have never voted in a presidential election before. so they will learn it. one thing she does to help them learn it is she establishes the league of women voters, to teach women how to study the issues, study the candidates. and that is also celebrating its centennial anniversary this y

warren g. harding ran for president. for the republican party tickets in november of 1920. exclaiming to women for your own good, vote republican ticket. they are producing all this kind of recruitment basically published vogue. also material culture. under the 19th amendment i cast my first vote. clearly it was engaging as the new female voter. and then on the piece of paper where the ribbon was sold, it says, souvenir of this greatest event of my life. they really dramatized the act of voting. for some women this was the greatest event of their life. it meant they achieved the first step toward equality. and gaining a more democratic experience as a citizen of the united states through the voting rights they have achieved. in the concluding gallery of this exhibition, i wanted to point out the text of the 19th amendment and what it says and doesn't say. it reads, the right of citizens of the united states to vote shall not be denied by the united states or by any state on account of sex. when you think about the wording of the 19th amendment, nowhere does it say, "guarant

we had a pandemic the spanish flu in 180-1900 what did that lead to it led to a new president warren g. harding the country demanding his slogan when a return to normalcy sense of stability and steadiness after world war one and going through the trauma that pandemic at the same time the economic crisis we went through the depression the economic depression the amount of unemployment that we will and through the selection it is comparable to the unemployment numbers of the 1st few years of the great depression of early thirty's and the republicans who would help the congress for a long period of time were overthrown. in 1930 in a wipeout in of people a landslide and that presale franklin delano roosevelt's great victory in 1932 and then the 3rd crisis the racial crisis we had a racial crisis and a crisis of one order in the night late 1960 s. lyndon johnson was the incumbent president democrat and he and he was the one who paid the price and so that did the democratic party for. you know people and now trump is the incumbent and he's attempting to escape his responsibility famously saying about

them in different ways, and you've got calvin coolidge running for vice president along with warren g. harding who ran for president for the republican party ticket in november of 1920. and this is a broadside from october of 1920 that's exclaiming two women for your own good vote the republican party, vote republican ticket, and so they were producing all this kind of recruitment basically, and this is published in "vogue" and also material culture in the form of the yellow ribbon, and it says under the 19th amendment i cast my first vote, november 2nd, 1920. so clearly it was engaging the new female voter and so it was for harding and coolidge and the straight republican ticket. and then on the piece of paper on which the ribbon was sold, it says souvenir of this greatest event of my life. so they really dramatized the act of voting, but honestly, for some women this really was the greatest event of their life. it meant that they had achieved the first step towards equality, and gaining a more democratic experience as a citizen of the united states through the voting rights that they had ach

first warren harding, followed by calvin coolidge. the republicans have a leg up on the prosperity front. you had the 1920's. it has been a boom decade for wall street and for large segments of the economy, although less for farmers and agriculture at that point. i think the darkest part of this election and the reason i said it really is one of the most vicious elections in american history is our third "p," the question of prejudice. al smith -- i think most americans today are more familiar with john kennedy as a catholic candidate. that caused a real stir even in the 1960's. a real set of questions about the presidency. al smith raised all of those questions much earlier in 1928. it had already been a decade that had been seized with a lot of questions about immigration, immigration reform, the rise of the ku klux klan. those come into play. >> how did the role of catholicism play out? john evers. >> it was a vicious campaign. this was not new to him. when he ran in new york state, he faced it then. in 1914, martin glenn faced ant

which means she's to the left of sanders and the left of elizabeth warren you know how hard that is.econd, she's a terrible performer. she was at 15% support nationally last july. by the time she drop out she was down to 4%. biden actually had 8 times as many african-american supporters as she did and in her home state running fourth and 61% of californians wanted her to drop out of the race. so i just started with idea that she's not a good performer. she's not going to last and she's way too radical. and biden's case although i think he did a great speech at the convention probably best speech of his career the truth is, close your eyes and imagine that we're negotiating with xi jinping the very tough dictator of communist china. say to yourself what i tell the u.s. representative that guy who is tough but has rough edges or do i want a guy who's pleasant but falls asleep halfway through the meeting? i understand biden is not going to last and when you look at their platform, it is so radical on almost every front, tax paid abortion in 9th month for example. confiscating guns which

warren. [applause] i wanted them to know as i want you now to know that in the hard fight ahead, we will workether to promote the principles and aims of our party. [applause] i was heartened by their instant agreement to support this cause to the utmost. [applause] their cooperation means that the republican body will move forward to a sweeping victory. [applause] we are now at a moment in history when, under god, this nation of ours has become the mightiest power and the mightiest spiritual force on earth. the destiny of mankind, the making of a world that will be fit for our children to live in hangs in the balance on what we say and what we accomplish in these months ahead. we must use our power wisely for the good of all our people. if we do this, we will open a road into the future on which today's america, young and old, and the generations that come after them, can go forward to a life in which there will be far ,reater abundance of material spiritual rewards, than our forefathers or we ever dreamed of. [applause] we will -- those in tomorrow may rise up to threaten us will not be mere

the regulatory onslaught you saw under a biden and biden the war worn colin the warren energy in the war on jobs for hard-working blue-collar families. steve: i think that's so well said lisa and charlie is lisa laid out and sara earlier at those specifics that are so powerful. and slightly worried with what you hear from some of the campaign spokesman bits of high-level generalities about the ticket and appoint the point they made in a campaign memo. what does that really mean to an individual? the point that lisa was making there and sara earlier is what does this mean for you and how would your life specifically change for the worse if these people were elected and i think we need a bit more of that. >> i think the more specific that are the president's going to do we talk about how a couple of states are coming into the election but more specifically it will be a couple of counties and it's going to be smaller than that. it will arguably determine the future of our puppet. if you look at wisconsin there were only 78,000 michigan 11,000 votes that determine these critical swing states. you are talking

and was our eyes and ears with that candidate in particular, with elizabeth warren, has been remarkable. it is really, really hardshoot, to edit, to write, to log, to feed information, and by the way, drive a car, get on a plane, pack your bag, and maybe every once in a while get something to eat at a gas station. it is remarkable and women like daniela are just -- i'm so lucky to work with. >> daniela, i want to come back to you and i have a gazillion questions for you but my last question is do you feel like seeing the shots of you, you got your camera and trying to get into the scrum with the reporters, when you talk about women reporters, did you feel like the other women now were helpful to you? or was it really having to have sharp elbows on trail? >> you know, brooke, it is a partnership out there. i became so close to the other in beds and other reporters covering elizabeth warren. we all focus on getting the story out to the networks, prioritizing that but you form a special friendship and bonds with other women and it was mostly women covering senator warren and we all help each other. it is incredible.

elizabeth warren who everyone sort of characterizes as hard left. is there a big decision here. lity she economyian. shcome mealian.she will be whats to be. aoc and elizabeth warren, whatever else you say about them, they are genuine. they are authentically liberal. i think with kamala harris, she will be whatever she needs to be at the time and she is incredibly ambitious if i'm aloud to use that word. her eye is on the prize which is joe biden's job. jedediah: that is absolutely true. i have been saying for a long time now she will be the top of the ticket whether she is in reality or not figuratively she sure is. miranda devine, thanks for being here. we appreciate it? >> thanks, jed. jedediah: still ahead an arizona school district overwhelmed with calls from the community to reopen schools. it's about to welcome kids back into the classroom next week what's the blueprint for reopening and what are they doing right? we are going to discuss that coming up. ta-da! did you know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i should get a quote.

hard to pick apart. >> other front-runners, former national security adviser susan rice, senators tammy duckworth and elizabeth warren, and congresswoman karen bass and val demonstrati demin demings, also michigan governor gretchen whitmer. a recent column comparing the selection process to an episode of "the bachelor". >> the discrimination, the attacks that we've seen, that's what they are doing. they're aeptding thnticipating think it's a good idea. >> the campaign will also combat racist attacks if biden chooses a black woman. today the group 100 prominent black men said the urgency to pick a black woman has gone from something that should happen to something that has to happen. this echos an appeal from black women. >> this is the moment that we need to make sure that the issues around racism, sexism, equality, racial justice, income equality, is addressed in a magnificent, big way. >> next week's democratic national convention is in milwaukee, but most of it will be virtual. biden will accept the nomination from his party from his home base in delaware. >>> so does it matter which type you wear? ahead, a new ey

it's hard to pick somebody that's that disrespectful. >> so he brought elizabeth warren into this wholederogatory comment about her. but nasty. we're back to nasty again. president trump does this. he calls women nasty. he's been called out on it. it doesn't really change for him. where does it go from here? >> well, listen, president trump's entire presidency has been attacking women of color, black women in particular, with his name calling. it doesn't matter what he says. listen, we have to -- just like the clip you showed of senator harris' speech, which she talked about common ground, this is the moment to unify. for democrats, it's unifying across race. and so while he says and does whatever he's going to do, we know that he's counting on first and foremost attracting a base of voters that are attracted to his racist sentiment and speech. and that is the opposite of what we're doing. we're unifying our multiracial coalition. we're going deep into states where we need to speak to the hopes and dreams, the pain that we're in. and to believe in this. and that's what we do. we're prep

obviously, dana, it's all about turning out the bass this year, it's hard to think of anyone who could do that better than elizabeth warreng. a good trip down memory lane. i want to bring in ben shapiro, author of a new book that's out, "how to destroy america in three easy steps." except we don't want to destroy america. wright, ben? what you think about this idea that elizabeth warren is in the mix for a possible vice presidential choice? i'm skeptical. >> yeah, i think that's a fair bit of misdirection. she does check the box as a woman of color. she doesn't check any of the boxes. here's the problem, she doesn't take any of the boxes. what biden wants to be portrayed to the american public is somebody who is pretty moderate, doesn't actually want to provide fodder for the trump campaign to paint him as a jewel of the radical left. he'd be feeding directly into that by picking elizabeth warren who is so radically left that she dumped her own original perspective of american health care in order to embrace medicare for all which was the thing that ended her presidential campaign. they don't tend to get along personally,

hard to do and we saw that f. . these last few days trying to appeal to republicans trying to appeal to centrist democrats trying to appeal to bernie bernie sanders supporters and elizabeth warren supporters of the far far left all saying you need to come to the to the polls jim cliburn a well known civil rights leader and congressman from south carolina said don't compare joe biden to the almighty compare joe biden to who's on the other side who the other potential candidate is put aside your you know your the things you don't want the most and make the pragmatic choice he's appealing to democrats make the pragmatic choice choose joe biden whether he can really pull it off is the big question there wasn't a huge amount of enthusiasm among democrats in 2016 for hillary clinton there was a 7 point drop in the black vote between 2012 dozen 16 black voters who are very reliable reliable voters for democrats didn't come out like the democrats needed them to just 16 and the question is will they do that now in 2020 that's the big question that we're going to see on november 3rd well let's assume out from the domestic politics side of things for just a moment we're of course followin

warren. [cheers and applause] and governor stassen. [cheers and applause] i wanted them to know, as i want you now to know, that in the hard fight ahead,will work intimately together to promote the principles and aims of our party. [applause] i was strengthened and heartened by their instant agreement to support this cause to the utmost. [applause] their cooperation means that the republican party will unitedly move forward to a sweeping victory. [applause] we are now at a moment in history when, under god, this nation of ours has become the mightiest temporal power and the mightiest spiritual force on earth. the destiny of mankind, the making of a world that will be fit for our children to live in, hangs in the balance on what we say and what we accomplish in these months ahead. we must use our power wisely for the good of all our people. if we do this, we will open a road into the future on which today's americans, young and old, and the generations that come after them can go forward, go forward to a life in which there will be far greater abundance of material, cultural, and spiritual rewards than our forefathers or we ever dreamed

the past, donald trump has not always gone hard at kamala harris for whatever reason as compared to what some saw as a withering fixation with elizabeth warren. we have news now, i'll play it for response. the president just new asked about biden picking harris. here's what he said. >> she was my number one pick. as they would say, hopefully, she was my number one draft pick. she did very, very poorly in the primaries. she was expected to do well. she ended up around 2%. and spent a lot of money. she had a lot of things happening so i was a little surprised that he picked her. >> cornell? >> i think it is the quiet before the storm. i assure you, they're about to launch a sustained attack on senator harris. a lot of attacks they've been trying to lay at joe biden have not been sticking and working and moving. i think this is another, this is another opportunity to take a hit at the ticket. right now, it is almost a complete referendum on donald trump and they have to chance of winning that so they have to try to change the dynamic. >> we've got a lot of context and personal reaction as well. >> ladies first. >> if ever there were a night. we

warren. once the choice was made, i sent an email to aunt gloria and she wrote me back, "excellent choice but we've got to work hard to beat trump, that means making sure young people and everyone vote. this election has got to be about winning and not just color. throws me off, now i have to find someone else for ag." then in a separate email, this is my favorite part, she wrote, "you were right," smiley faces, exclamation point, because i had written that senator harris should be the pick. not only was chris interested in what aunt gloria had to say, and andrea, what twitter wanted to know, so i emailed and she gave her answer. >> let me see the gold star you were going to put in your book. mike memoli, kristen welker, jonathan capehart, claire mccaskill, and of course andrea mitchell, thanks to you all. andrea will be back in a little bit, she's got some big interviews coming up in this hour, so you won't want to go away. how will kamala harris play with voters in those critical suburbs in battleground michigan? we'll hear from congresswoman debbie dingell next, here on "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. o

hard for covid-19. this morning we're lucky enough to have the founder of black restaurant week mr. lauren to tell us more about the showcase. warren, thanks for joining us. the very first question that i have for you is how do we know which restaurants we can support those that want to go out and support the black owned businesses? >> good morning. thank you so much for having us. if you want to know how to support the restaurants that to support, viss year to have a diverse line of participants from all over the greater bay area. we're going to be able to feature some amazing restaurants like voodoo love. if you go on the website, you can use the directory to determine which of the delivery platforms are most in lined with what you have, or you can search the restaurants based on the codes and see which closest proximity. >> you know one of the favorite restaurant and it's a restaurant but more of a bar in oakland is half times sports bar that's owned by the african-american man that over time that i go in there, i'm welcomed. sometimes we know which businesses they are. sometimes we don't. what kind of special e ventss are these

hard to imagine. after all i imagine elizabeth warren will be secretary of treasury.bourque has alreadbeto o'rourkehas been pro. he has none. the problem with susan rice is almost everything she has done has been wrong from the iranian deal to the libya adventure to not to saying that bowe bergdahl served with honor and distinction. steve: she should be secretary of state. brian: talking about her possible role. let's listen and read between the lines. >> i will do everything i possibly can to help joe biden become the next president of the united states and to help him succeed in governing in whatever form or fashion he wants. i will let joe biden answer that question but, let me say, i'm proud to serve him in any way he would like. brian: no doubt she will be there. and there is no doubt that john kerry, seeing him in that shot. he was one of the first to endorse biden when he was down and out. ric grenell who use used to be ambassador of germany and took over the dni. said this about what he knows about harris and it was one in which about harris in particular she
