i think it's more visible for white voters this time. president trump, the key demographic he's suffering with at the moment, he won the white female vote last time in spite of people's expectations white women would vote for hillary clinton. this time it looks like he's in trouble. that suburban couple with the guns, for example, or that couple with the guns, for example, they are i suppose in some ways meant to be emblematic of certain fear among a segment about crime and safety. i think that's the kind of appeal that president trump is going to make to them, vote for me and i will keep you safe from these nefarious forces which has a racial undertone to it. >> certainly does. i appreciate it. >>> of course, the democrats already wrapped up its convention on thursday. now candidates joe biden and kamala harris are making the media rounds and hitting the campaign trail to get out their message. >> reporter: well, it had been 12 days since joe biden announced his running mate was going to be kamala harris. since then we have seen them app

white people. i have better sense and do not have much time. i do not have a white person follow memy skull around. white people have a black person locked in their skull and that is why they treat black people the way they do. host: several questions. you can choose what to answer. they deal in the same broad topic. how would you assess the state of race relations, how many -- how many changes do you see, what are the true issues for american civil rights leaders today? so on and so on. you will see them all here. [laughter] mr. baldwin: it's a difficult question to answer because the question is sincere but it is posed in such -- what i would is an idea to do maybe we can take hold of in this room. i want to establish modest proposal, white history week. [laughter] [applause] it is history that produces these questions. it is late in the day to be talking about race relations. what are you talking about? how can race relations deteriorate or improve? i am not a race, and neither are you. we are talking about the life and death of the country.

the last time the democratic party won the majority of white but was in 1964. last time the american electorate was predominately white was 1976 when is it 89% white electric. so where they are now is out of step with the rising majority of this country and the changing demographic. so i am baffled that he's invited. i am curious to see how many democrats will be asked to speak. it does send a message. i understand people are nervous about black voters making this aptly been historically brutalized. but people get scared i know we have to get this white supremacist out of office. but i would say evangelicals get to make their demands. gun lobbyists make their demand demands. why can we not as black people make demands of our government? to make demands of a party we disproportionally uphold. now you can see they are valuing someone who has been the antithesis of a lot of what we've been fighting for. i just have to tell people don't at me anymore. don't comment anymore when i'm advocating we should have the epicenter of political power in this power has leapfrog

when i went to the white house, my first meeting as a leader, i had been to the white house many times as an intelligence person for years. i was not particularly apprehensive about the meeting. i did not think much about it. i was just going to a meeting at the white house. it was a very small group. it was not a meeting that any women had been in the white house. law i had been elected by my colleagues to represent the man at the table. the president was always gracious. this was george w. bush. as he was welcoming me, a new leader coming to the table, i felt very close in on my chair. i never felt anything quite like it. all of a sudden, i realized -- they were all there on the chair with me. i could hear them say, at last, you have a seat at the table. then they were gone. i never had that experience before since. my first thought was, we want more. those women were so courageous. they took abuse. they worked so hard. they had a vision. they had knowledge of why they wanted to get this done. he had a plan to be strategic. they connected with other women and other like-minded people

i think it's more visible in a sense for -- particularly for white voters this time, and i think that president trump, you know, the key demographic that he is -- one of the key demographics that he's suffering with at the moment are white, suburban women. he won the white female vote last time in spite of people's expectations that women would vote for hillary clinton, white women would vote for hillary clinton, but this time it looks like he's in trouble. so that suburban couple with the guns, for example, or that couple with the guns,s for, i suppose in some ways they're meant to be emblematic of a certain fear among a segment of white suburb yeah aboia about c safety. president trump is going to make the appeal vote for me and i will keep you safe from the nefarious forces that always has a racial undertone to it. >> we're going to hear the phrase democrats want to destroy our suburbs. they've already been saying that a lot. so now republicans are pointing the finger at democrats, saying that their election strategy basically boils down to orange man bad. we know that negative par

black-and-white people on the ground even in the most virulently awful times were intimately involved with one another. do you feel like things have shifted since you wrote your first book in terms of people beginning to embrace this idea that thbut the african-americany is central to the american story there seems to be a hunger. >> guest: i like to think that things have shifted into that folks are a bit of a stories of african-american families and african-american life. the key that you mentioned that is the interlocked nature of white and black society and memory and experience one hand cannot move without the other hand that's something that is an ideal frame of consciousness to achieve to understand the interlocked nature of the destiny. >> host: i want to ask a question that's sort of animated as a fellow writer. i also wrote a family memoir that went back for generations. i appreciate your struggle to tell the story where the paper trail ends particularly writing about the clansmen if they were intentionally clandestine survey were not going to leave a paper trail so you give

and soon after that he had his first visit to the white house and spent his time with lincoln imploring him to equalize the pay between white and black soldiers. white soldiers not only earned more money but they got a bonus to buy uniforms whereas soldiers got money docked from their pay to buy uniforms. and lincoln was very cautious and worried about white public opinion with the recruitment of african-americans and he simply told douglas that the day will come but please be patient. and it was the beginning of their, what became a very close relationship between abraham lincoln and douglas. >> so, rounding out, we have maybe 10 more in the of this conversation before we open it to q&a. rounding out our trio of object this is evening is a very small, it is like 9 inches by 13 inches on the spot sketch by one frederick b. shell, a special artist for frank leslie's illustrated paper. do you see that object, please. it is coming. >> there it is. >> so there it is. it inspired no major headlines at the time but it is historically important and enough to be one of the 50 objects in the boo

then you see situations like this, with this young white male during an obvious time of unrest, during a curfew, when police are responding to a shooting and they see someone who has a gun but who happens to be white. but we also have to look at what happened before regarding the interaction with police and these armed white individuals in kenosha that night. right? >> right. >> condoning them being there, not giving them orders to go home, to get out of kenosha. you're violating curfew. so there is an obvious difference in treatment between whites and blacks as we look at the past couple of days here just in kenosha. but we've got decades of this indifference in treatment, disparity in treatment, to the point where blacks are dying at high rates proportionally to unarmed whites in this country. >> neill franklin, thank you so much for your voice. we appreciate it. >> thank you, jake. >>> coming up next, how fellow republicans responding to the protest, shootings in wisconsin, and parts of the gulf coast decimated today from what was hurricane laura. a closer look at the damage done co

i don't know what time they're running on, but this white house time for recovery, we have people fromtill waiting to get resolution from fema. all of those storms accumulated. now we have this storm and the damage in a covid environment. they're going to have to find a different way to get people back in their homes in this covid environment. they're going to have to find a quicker way to reimburse people so they can hotels. some of them have to move to another town. the schools may not be open. people talking about opening schools, there may not be any schools to go to and there's no homes. we need to ask fema and the white house the hard questions how they're going to deal with this, because they can't say we're going to use the harvey model. homes are not rebuilt. we can't say use the irma model, homes are not rebuild or as well as we did puerto rico, a total disaster unto itself and certainly can't say we'll do like we did in virgin islands. they need to get a step up. these governors need to get with the white house. the way fema is recovering the homes it's too slow, followed up

time from thetern white house, do we know what the set up will be at the white house? guest: his speech is actually a little bit later. he will be the closing speaker, so watch for him in the 10:00, 10:30 timeframe, but he is giving his acceptance speech from the white house. there is an elaborate set up on the south lawn, which is not something we are accustomed to seeing every four years when there are political conventions. typically they are held in an arena or convention hall with thousands and thousands of cheering delegates, but because of the coronavirus pandemic, both parties had to alter their plans. the president changed his mind a number of times and was left with the white house as an option, so we will see the president on the south lawn introduced by his daughter, ivanka trump. he will give his speech. there is expected to be several hundred people in the audience to hear him speak, his wife, children, officials, members of congress, and other invited guests. ist: darlene superville right, the president will speak in the 10:00 hour on the last day of the

times" article, which describes the fact that dr. birx seemed overly optimistic about her projections, not taking enough into account the extent to which the white house rhetoric on reopening might have a negative impact on the virus's spread across the country. the "new york times" did not use the word polic polly anna-ish. >> thank you for the update. joining us now is jonathan reiner. a professor of medicine and university at george washington university. also a white house medical adviser in the bush administration. doctor, you just heard speaker pelosi express no confidence in dr. birx. do you share that sentiment? >> well, i actually don't share that sentiment. dr. birx has had a very distinguished career, but i think one has to remember that she has an impossible boss. she has to walk a very tight line. i know she has a great deal of dedication to her job, and she must feel that, in order to satisfy her boss and remain most effective, she has to be very careful with her words. you know, having said that, i don't share the speaker's feeling about her. the white house testing czar was pressed this morning. watch this. >> at this point there

as you noted, jim, this is something that happens from time to time at the white house.ars ago, we reported that there was a gentleman who died by suicide just outside the white house and it was put under lockdown. the president was not on the grounds that day. he was down in mar-a-lago where i was reporting, but again, this is the sort of thing that happens in this area. it's a very public area. there are folks that have been coming out here to protest, especially in recent months, over racial injustice and unrest. so, it's still an open question as to exactly what led to this moment, but as you can see, the president from one moment to the next, being approached by the united states secret service, effectively told, we need to go and he just walked out of the press briefing room. from what i understand, according to the white house pool, the exact words were, step outside, sir, we're going to have to step outside. president said, oh. and left the room, jim. >> that's right. and we should caution our viewers, you know, they sometimes shut down lafayette square from time

some of his other campaigns and i wanted to start and go back to 1876 which is the first time he ran for the whitese. he was nominated at that time. do you know about the person who nominated him and the speech? >> this is a defense of blaine against accusations of corruption in connection with the railroad industry. not everyone believed that he was as corrupt as some people think that he did. >> why did the phrase steak? >> he seems to have been the kind of person who had great admirers and tremendous enemies and detractors. >> it was a label that stuck because in the cartoons of the day, the plumed knight was a wonderful image. there was a lot of interest in romantic literature. he was shown in the elizabethan costume or a knight in shining armor. this was a perfect kind of image of him. >> how important were political cartoons in affecting the electorate? >> they were tremendously important. this was a time in which a victorian publications of founded in america for the first time. they were very widespread. they were easily produced. in the case of the political journals, you have a judge whi

time. so you see these black suffragists, very, very energized, and very engaged in that. but they have to work on it separately for the most part. you see the whiteuffragists time and again putting a distance, knowing how important it is to make sure black women are also on board for this, but still keeping their distance so that they can mollify both southern women, who do not really want black women to vote, and, of course, the southern men. and so you do see this terrible forced split, between what the white suffragists are doing and the black suffragists. but there are black and white suffragists involved in the higher levels, the national levels of the movement, for the most part there kept at a distance. host: we have about 12 minutes left with you in this hour on the women's suffrage centennial. what tipped the scales for president woodrow wilson? why did he decide to reverse himself and support it? guest: woodrow wilson spent most of his life greatly opposed to the idea of women's suffrage. time and again, he expresses this. remember he has a whole career as the president of princeton. then he is governor of new jersey. then he has presid

white house. public, political events. this is the first time that we've ever seen this. ybody was there. as a white house employee, violated the hatch act merely by showing up. then of course we have secretary pompeo's speech and the rest of it. this is an unmitigated disaster. this whole vention has been nothing but hatch act violations front wards and backwards. >> presidents carter and presidents reagan, both, excuse me, they spoke from the east room and the oval office respectively when they announced they would run for re-election. is that different for what we saw from trump's rnc speech? >> it's not just an announcement that they will run for re-election. and we've had presidents announce they will not run for re-election. president lyndon johnson announced he would not run for re-election. that's information the american people are entitled to know. that's very different than a convention speech which is partisan political activity. if any white house staff show up on the white house grounds, they're violating the hax act just as kellyanne conway did when she was

and by the time the roosevelts enter the white house in 1933, she has already established herself as a public figure, at least in the state of new york, because she has been the governor's wife for four years. she was also, by that time, very active in the democratic party. i think in terms of what she was doing in the white house, she was looking as much for a role to fill because she did not want to be stuck in the house hosting tea parties and shaking hands. she wanted to be doing something that she felt was meaningful. and so she went to franklin and she was trying to figure out what to do and he said, do what you think you want to do and i will tell people, that is my missus, i can't do a thing with her. i think that is how they proceeded. she evolved that role. there is no four-point plan in her papers where she says, i will now transform the role of first lady. it is an evolutionary thing. she tries several different things, press conferences. she begins to travel and is doing lecture tours twice a year. she continues to be involved in different causes that she had been involve

trump organization, we know how that went with the plagiarism that followed her into the white house. this timein, she has said no to professional speech writers. she does not like or trust outsiders and instead, she mainly relied on one of her senior staffers. we're her hearing stephanie gra ham was the primary writer. she has written her speeches before. again, it is a departure from most traditional first ladies that this first lady is opting to act on her own especially in light of how things went in 2016, which was actually her last public address to the nation. this is a first lady we do not hear from a lot. also, anderson, i should note this is actually the first campaign appearance from the first lady and it might be her last. we've reported she has no other campaign events or travel or fundraisers on her schedule moving ahead. >> let's go to kaitlan collins now. you have new reporting on mike pompeo's speech. >> reporter: it hasn't aired yet and drawn a ton of scrutiny over the last several days because of the fact the secretary of state is recording a speech for a political convention
