solar ribbon-cutting -- there was a time once upon a time christine todd whitman, your father, they were proenvironment republicans. this district has all of this land preserved because republicans in part were the ones who lead on that sure the highlands act was passed and clean water and open space. so to throw around the green new deal like something radical, when i don't even think you know what is in it. at the same time, the ra had huge investments in green energy but you despaired that as it was a socialist intervention. you and i both know our economy is moving towards a green economy. we have to. there's no way to compete overseas if we are not reducing our impacts and increasing our homegrown energy. we have to do it in a way that is responsible and speaks to the people whose jobs are in that sector. we must move quickly and efficiently. so we can be proenvironment. you don't have to use scare tactics against the green new deal. being proenvironment includes energy, but also things like open space, clean water, and clean air. >> i will give you 30 seconds to respond before movi

the trial attracted the commentary of walt whitman, james mccune smith, horace greeley, a lot of very well-known people commented on it. now, freeman was entirely clear about why he killed he wanted back pay, and if he couldn't have it, he would have payback. but no one, the prosecution or the defense, wanted to hear freeman's challenge to the auburn system, because the auburn system was the engine behind auburn's prosperity. and by this point, the auburn system, the auburn state prison, was actually a major engine behind new york's prosperity. it was also a major player in party politics. so the prison was very important to a lot of different people, and nobody wanted to hear that it was wrong to make people work for no pay. so nobody wanted to hear it. white auburn ites, particularly, did not want to hear it. so what they did to not hear this very clear critique that they could not hear what they did, instead was they invented their own story. they invented their own stories in order to drown out what freeman was actually saying. they could not hear the in their effort to silence fr

william seward and simon chase both of who end aiken whitman -- and lincoln's cabinet. william seward from new york. you're also going to have edward bates from missouri who was a conservative, someone people thought might be a potential match for the constitutional union party bringing those parties together and then john maclean who was an associate justice on the supreme court who was lincoln's choice in 1856 for the nomination. quite old at this time, he's going to die in march 18, '61 so lincoln said he's a little old at this point and then you have lincoln who had become quite famous at this point, for his debates with lincoln, excuse me, with douglas in 1868, and some from his cooper union speech in february 18, '60, much more well known in the north by this point and lincoln is not going to go to the convention. it's not normal for people who are presidential candidates to go to conventions. conventions are very serious affairs and it was looked down upon for presidential candidates to actually run for president. other people ran for you so lincoln sends his, on

christine todd whitman and the co-chair of the state's united democracy center and timothy snider, professor of history at yale university and the author of his new book "on freedom." want to thank you all for being here. molly and tara, you are joining me here. molly, i don't care how chafed you are, we've been through a lot politically, there's got to be something about the symbolism, having kamala harris and liz cheney at what is the birthplace of the republican party. >> so i think that what's happened here is two really important things, right? first is that they're creating this permission structure. you may not be a republican -- you may not be a democrat, you may not like what she's offering, but you care more about american democracy than you do about the nuances of her political party or her political goals. the other thing is that what this does is it breaks through these lower information voters and they see that something is different about this election, that donald trump is not running as a normal candidate, that he really is running as an autocrat. so when they see someone li

whitman who was not a famous writer none at all, he was a journalist and printer, triumph was years in for newspaper new york aurora. and he wrote many positive review of emerson himself pretty but despite satirical about the crowd, that was in the room and fueled a dolch me for a moment, which like to read one paragraph from his review. here we go. by the way he mentions of course really hear the great city newspaper editor and writer of the day. the transcendentalists, meaning emerson, had a very full house on saturday evening. there were a few beautiful mates, more women in muslim blue stockings, several interesting government with byron colors pretty doctors that persons and landmines and abolitionists, sage editors a few of whom are taking notes, all of the other species and really miss an extra seat pretty think critically good with that pretty witchy debate once in about five minuteswo predict files about fh out of water like it to go girl. okay, no obviously this is much more distinguished crowd that now that i cut down market peabody what's up like this role, talk to me later

donald trump and vice versa the former lieutenant governor of georgia, geoff duncan, christie, todd whitman, who's enrolled back to my home state of new jersey and so you have all all of that and then the question is, how much will this kind of event really lore, maybe the former haley voters or the independent voters, or independent minded voters who didn't vote in the republican primary earlier this year. >> yeah, han's is absolutely right for the first part of her campaign. she did not focus on this nearly as much she was almost acting as if donald trump didn't exist. she was having her own message. but now the reason she's standing next to all those people and talking about the democracy issue is because these anti-trump republicans, maybe independent voters. this is the defining issue for them. and so it's a message that they're not voting for kamalaharris because of her housing policy. they are voting for kamalaharris because they don't like what donald trump did on january 6, and they don't trust him to be president again so you know, there are some argument that perhaps that she nee

pritzker and megan whitman, all of the people in maryland, who people thought would launch a bid if theurrent president stepped off the ticket. she consolidated those people in about 48 hours. she consolidated the delegates. i guess my answer would be it is hard to run a primary if there are not people to primary the vice president. she did step up. i think her team was adept at it . whether it is seen as a transparent democratic process is another thing. there was a lot of doubt about president biden's capability after that debate within his own party. that is what led him to step down. host: paul steinhauser, phyllis has been waiting in durango, colorado, good morning. caller: good morning, c-span. i was watching obama this morning the whole hour. he trashed donald trump. my issue is the democrats will not take any responsibility for dividing the country the way it is.
