party and will never want to do anything as a democrat ever again the democratic party is going to lose a big chunk of support and that's going to make it very very difficult for them to win an election against somebody who has a huge support base donald trump that's very committed that will come out and vote for him so i think this is definitely going to hurt them in the election in the long term it's going to hurt them as a party i don't think they care i think they're willing to blow up their party if it means keeping things the way that they are where you have a bunch of elites controlling everything and making a ton of money off of it yet because they have no moral compass ok it's been demonstrated over and over again here let's go to lionel you know you know i know how you feel about donald trump but the interesting thing for me in looking at this rivalry inside of the democratic party it took trump to take to do to basically destroy the legacy of obama took down hillary clinton and because the democrats can't get themselves in order and actually present a platform to run on becau

african-american women they are the soul of the democratic party they are the force of the democratic party bernie sanders gets a portion of the african-american vote particularly when we're talking about younger african-americans but when we saw the winds change in south carolina we knew that people like pete booted gedge who had you know an early bump in iowa and you know amy code which are probably over performed in some of those early states was not going to survive going through the south particularly on super tuesday and on some of the states following that she might have some weight in the in the midwest but this election is going to be about turnout and if you can't turn out african-americans as a democrat you will not win and so that's where it comes down to these 2 particular candidates bernie sanders who has young african-americans excited about him and joe biden who has older african-americans who will come out and vote for him in steady numbers that's what you need and clothes which are and blue to judge and all the other people were way behind in that area and there's no

the democratic party. in fact in my mind he was a politician who happened to own thebiggest and most powerful newspaper in the state . and he met regularly in his office with the democratic executive committee in the office of the news and observer to plan strategies to deprive blacks of the vote and to malign lacks in this phony news campaign and he did it as a member of the democratic party working with a man named fernald simmons was thechairman of the democratic party . and after the coup, whites had to figure out, the democratic party had to figure out how they could permanently by legislation to blacks for voting. you were poll taxes and literacy taxes and those were used to keep blacks from voting but they also affected white voters does as i said before nearly a quarter of the whites were illiterate so they had to figure out a way to and sent them from the literacy test and from the poll tax is a lot of whites were poor they had josephus daniels go to louisiana which the year before and passed a so

now, josephus was on the democratic party. in fact, in my mind, he was a politician who opened to own the biggest and most powerful newspaper in the state and he met regularly in his office with the democratic executive committee, in the offices of the news and observer to plan strategy to deprive blacks of the vote and to malign plaques wi with-- malign blacks in this phony news campaign, and he did it with the chair of the democratic party after the coup whites had to figure out-- the democrat party had to figure out how to permanently by legislation to keep blacks from voting. there were poll taxes and literacy then used to keep blacks from voting. they affected white voters because as i said nearly a quarter of the whites were illiteracy, and they had to figure out a way to keep them and from the poll taxes because they were poor. there was a so-called grandfather clause which was a brilliant piece of legislation. that law in louisiana said, any person whose father or grandfather had voted before 1867 would be exempt from

he got the democratic party to pay for it. anyone of these amazing stories about how wonderful grandfather clause was pretty and how it had completely snuffed out the black vote rated and said we really gotta try this in north carolina and in 1900, they've passed an amendment. it was passed in the law and that was used up until 1915 when several other and by the way that inspired other seven state to do the same thing. black voting had been snuffed out in north carolina and across the south until an at least until 1965. front row. it. guest. on the flipside, did you find wilmington, the people looked at some of the heroic characters like manley and even galloway. is there. of being honored or remembered for the role that they played and trying to create this experiment in wilmington. david: yes alex manley, has a marker on third street in wilmington but recalls that happened in 1898 as a race riot. there's a real movement in wilmington now to have abraham galloway, at some sort of recognition, statute or something. if you have

well ok but i think you know again if you look at the complexity of the democratic party what it what it because now that joe wants to embrace the obama legacy well what about those 5500000 people that were thrown out of their homes when barack obama saved the banks so you would wall street in and main street in people when homeless ok if that is at the normal we want to go back to because i don't see much of the legacy of barack obama that is all about appealing he sold out to the banks and big and to special interests like they always do when they get into power donald trump is doing the same thing don't misunderstand me ok but how and i mean you know richard's got a point on some of those points right there but there's a fundamental difference is that the needs of workers particularly right now who is losing their home their health care it's not because of donald trump per se it's because millions and millions of people are losing their jobs ok that's what that that is ok i think that for a lot of people joe biden is a retread that was very unimpressive and i think here and here's

is the chairman of the democratic party. after the two, they had to figure out how they could permanently by legislation keep blacks from voting. there were taxes and literacy tests, and those were used to keep blacks from voting but they also affected white voters goes as i said before, they were illiterate so they had to figure out a way to keep them from the test. they had to go to louisiana which the year before and passed the grandfather clause which was a brilliant piece of legislation. any person whose father or grandfather had voted before 1867 would be exempt from the tax while 1868 is the year that they got the vote. so, obviously that exempted almost all black men from voting. he thought this was wonderful. the democratic party sent him down there to do what they portrayed as a journalistic investigation but he didn't want to pay for it, he got the democratic party to pay for it. he wrote these amazing stories about how wonderful the grandfather clause was and how it had completely snuck out of the boat and set we

he explains what he thought the democratic party was for. what it was always stood for. our party has always been a friend you can come to for justice. >> whether it was sweatshop wages or interest rates. all of these injustices wound up pasha we have symbolized them some way or other in the county or state or national convention for a time he memorial. that is what the democratic party is four and that is why it is born in that is white survives and thrives and exists. we are here and we are just saying that we passed a law back in 1957 and said the first time in 85 years that everybody will have a chance to vote. he said it again in 1960. his said it again in 64 and then by god, it's still hadn't been executed and we're going to say it again in the convention and 64. >> that's johnson a couple of days before aren't he had been pushed through the wringer. this is what i think reflectively went to. this is what i stand for. this is the party that have been part of for the past three decades this is what they stand. for somebody asked me what he for? that's it. i think jo

party that is the democratic party and we're not going to clear it was biden who. brad about how because there was a 10 year decade period we didn't execute anybody in this country how it was we went from one crime that the death penalty to $58.00 and he bragged about that on the campaign trail are going to say thank you so much chris always a pleasure having you on great words of wisdom to us all thank you all right as we're going to break our watchers don't forget to let us know what you think the top 3 cover of our social media be sure to check out watching the podcast because they'll be able to spotify apple music and everywhere you look at the podcast coming up the one and only jimmy door joins us to discuss the new york times new 2020 presidential campaign reality show no that's not hyperbole there really is going to be a new york times election t.v. show coming for us all day to watch for the hawks. thanks guys or financial survival. when customers go by you reduce the price. in elf well reducing our. that's undercutting not what's good for food markets it's

party's movements can call right now in the upcoming elections if the democratic party can actually be some sort of concern for beijing's sick national security agenda and if the democratic party can link hong kong's democrat ties ation from the national security concerns meaning they can do they can say that they want political accountability they want to have the suffrage but if they do not. make it make such strong linkages with the united states particularly u.s. congress particularly getting members of u.k. u.s. political establishment to attack china and the companies and the chinese statements i think and the reason reasonable amount of political willingness to work with the pro establishments cam i think the hong kong politics in hong kong can take a very positive tone if only both camps do not make their public so. if you like. radical ok i'm afraid that it's correct we're ok unfortunately gentlemen we are out of time i'm very sorry martin lee i have to say thanks to all of our guests to martin lee to andy mark and to victor teo and to thank you to watching you can see the

the real issue here is within the democratic party itself and it's really centered on bernie bernie sanders ok they finally got him out ok they rallied their forces the media came in to save the day as well and it really gets down to if the bernie bros and i don't use that term in a project pejorative way is meant i know a lot of bernie bros and they are fervent very smart people they have just much gumption and it's conservatives do ok this if we disagree but helen it really gets down to the progressive part of the party are they going to be won over by joe because joe has given them nothing to dig. yeah i mean the good the ones who voted for hillary back in 2016 will probably fall in line behind joe personally i don't understand why people were willing to live up to her bernie this time around after he basically took them under the bus and $1016.00 telling them to vote for a candidate that went against everything that he stood for and now he's done that again so i think in the same we're all the progressive us would probably try to vote 3rd party of course not living in the same world as

the party system dominated by the whig party and democratic party. this shows the successors. the whig party dissolved in the 1850s. the democratic party became in effect a southern dominated sectional party that elected doe faces. the drierisive term. men such as franklin pierce and the ever-popular titan, james buchanan. i'll give you a moment to contemplate his greatness. that's enough. in the minds of many in the free states, the democratic party served as a mere tool of slave holding oligarchs. the republican party a purely sectional organization with no appeal in the south, first ran a candidate in 1856 as we all know. the path finder. its platform calling for a total ban of slavery's expansion into the territories. white southerners quickly associated republicans with abolitionists, although the two were by no means synonymous. in the national conventions, at charleston and then reconvened at baltimore in 1860, the democratic party also founded on the issue of slavery and the territories leaving the country at that point without a single national political party. but i'

he is restructuring the democratic party. he is trying to build a firebreak among moderate white voters. he spends 1964 and 1965 attempting to do that. his paranoia about bobby is one of the things we see coming out. >> i would agree with that. pushing farther, i think we listen to johnson recorded, what you see is a man who understands the political order he has come up in is fracturing permanently. it's not going to continue to exist. what ultimately drives him out of politics in 1968 is the realization that he is not the leader to manage that transition. i don't necessarily think that he is whiffing. it's not the future of american politics. the republican party is going to win five of the next six presidential elections? it took watergate to secure that sixth. johnson saw all that. did not know what to do about it ultimately. >> we would like to open this up for questions. we have a microphone up here. if anybody would like to ask a question, right there. >> the richness of this material from roosevelt to nixon, i was thi

of course, served as two terms as vice president, is the presumptive nominee of the democratic party. it's also worth noting, andrea, as you well know in the 2016 campaign and 2008 campaign, the democratic nominee was not able to call themselves that until well into june. in 2016 there were lingering doubts all the way through the convention, even on the part of sanders' supporters holding out hope he might win on the convention floor. what i heard from bernie sanders in articulating why he wants to stay on the ballot through the length of the process is all about the leverage he hopes to continue to hold over joe biden and democratic party, our revolution, which is the political arm of bernie sanders' campaign outside of the campaign itself. recently he articulated this skples italy by saying, continuing to get 25% or more in the subsequent states, he will have enough delegates to influence the rules and bylaws committee. that shapes the party's platform. that as a role in that debate on the convention floor if there is a convention floor. and you heard in bernie sanders' remarks, no

voters began to one of the obvious, if the democratic party isn't that enough for sanders to attack it, why do we need a revolution? sanders never answered that question, now he never will. under the core, he was a party man. sad. that means joe biden is the presumptive democratic nominee. nobody really chose joe biden for this job, he wound up with it by a series of defaults, and it shows. could he find his car in a three-tiered parking garage? could he navigate a salad bar? and by the way, what exactly is his position on the coronavirus pandemic? those are the mysteries democrat now face. biden has been virtually invisible the last month. that's not an accident. joe biden on camera means more moments like this. >> we cannot let this -- we've never allowed any crisis from the civil war, straight through to the pandemic of '17 -- '16, we have never, ever let our democracy, we can have a democracy, elections at the same time, public health. >> tucker: did you follow that? correct to the public health. it's hard to imagine a man like that making it through a presidential debate, or even

where does that leave the democratic party, do you think? >> dana: it bernie sanders over time showed he had about a third of the democratic party support. so if you look at the numbers, that's where they basically came out. and that's not nothing, it's not enough to get you to the nomination but it was enough to pull the entire democratic party to the left. i think you are absolutely right and i'm glad to hear you say it because i think one of the headlines out of this is that bernie sanders is never going to be president. he has ran several times but now after this effort today when he says i'm dropping out, he's not going to be president. but he did leave an ideological mark on the party and i think it remains to be seen, if democrats are going to actually be able to win in the united states with some of the positions they've been forced to take because of bernie sanders for fervent base that pulled them in that direction. >> tucker: i just have to wonder and i'm very aware that there is no systematic way to pull this off but i've got to

how do you view your role and the democratic party's role in dealing with those two strategies? >> you're contactualexactly rig politics of arithmetic, i learned from senator ted senator, my mentor, addition beats subtraction any day of the week. joe biden has been expanding the field throughout. his coalition of diverse communities of color, his coalition of union people, of disaffected republicans has swept him to this dramatic set of victories, and then you look at what the president, the incumbent president is doing, an ever shrinking base. this is his formula for success, an ever shrinking base coupled with voter suppression. what we're going to see, the club for growth is spending millions of dollars right now digitally trying to sow discord within the democratic party. you are going to see more voter suppression tactics. we've seen it down in georgia. they've established a vote r fraud task force. that is a crock of you know what that's designed to stifle the vote down there. we know that, and that is why we and not just the dnc, but the democratic ecosystem, whether it's

you're going to see an honest attempt to bring together the democratic party. i think, as has been mentioned previously in this interview, there is a really big force that is drawing our party together, and it is desire to remove the guy that's in the oval office right now. i said yesterday that i think people will crawl through glass in november to vote, to change the tone and the leadership that we're seeing right now in the oval office. but joe biden has to be very aware that there's a lot of people who didn't think he was the right guy. he's got to convince him that he could nip this together and win these important states that we've got to win and bring about a democratic victory, not just in the oval office for november, but also for the house and the senate. >> shaq, again, senator sanders in just a couple minutes, i'm now being told it's going to be live streamed it would seem. what do we expect to hear from senator bernie sanders? >> one thing i was just told we would not hear, we would not hear in this live stream an immediate endorsement of vice pres

the party system was dominated by the whip party and the democratic party. the evidence up here shows political successors to the whip party. the whip party dissolved in the 18 fifties. it's southern and northern wings at odds. the party in effect became a southern dominated sectional party that elected dough faces. that is a derisive term for northern man of southern principles, as everyone in this room knows. men such as franklin pierce and the ever popular titan from pennsylvania, james buchanan. i will give you a moment to contemplate buchanan's greatness. that is enough. (laughs) in the minds of many in the free states, the democratic party served as a mere tool of slave holding all the dark's. the republican party, a purely sectional organization with no appeal in the south, first ran a candidate in 1850, six as we all know. the pathfinder. the platform called for a total ban of slavery is expansion into the territories. white southerners quickly associated republicans with abolitionists, although the two were by no means, as john suggested, synonymous

party was also taken into custody. i don't regret what i have done. you know i'm proud to have the chance to walk down our democratic road. with hong kong's excellent young people. have fewer. of those arrests said are due to appear in court mid may and some others were released on bail. hong kong was rocked by widespread protests in 2019 which sometimes erupted into violence they were sparked by a proposal now abandoned to allow extra missions to the chinese mainland almost 8000 people were arrested for taking part in the protests it is not clear how many of them are still in custody. let's get more on this and for that i'm joined by location high he is the vice chair of the democratic party of hong kong these are going to veterans of hong kong's pro-democracy movement why do you think they were taken into custody now. is that you supply sent by beijing and. it's to make sites and it just scaring people from districts that i think this will be successful because he keeps people are determined to structural freedom and

what should happen in the democratic party starting tomorrow? and what's this about staying on the ballot and continuing to roll up delegates? >> well, as you're pretty aware, i was not a fan of senator sanders' candidacy. i was not for him. however, every political professional, they have dreams. he and his wife had a dream. and the people that worked on the campaign. and it looked good for him for a while. i kind of feel sorry for him in a way. it's like a soldier on the other side. you don't feel good about it. to some extent. i mean, i'm really excited about vice president biden. and what has happened is i think the vice president's very good about this, we're going to have to do some politicking and talk to senator sanders and talk to his supporters and talk about things we can do to unify the party and get on with i think the single most important mission in modern american politics, and that is extracting donald trump as quickly as we can from the white house. and the way to do that is to unite the party, be respectful of everybody, and u

sanders s stands for the progressive wing of the democratic party. the problem was, young people he was so proud of having gathered in his campaign and supporting him, didn't really show w up in big numbers at the primaries, number one. number two, biden really capitalized on the moderate democrats and on the africacan-amererican votes. they went in droves to jojoe bin because they think he is more electable than bernie sanders in a fight with donald trump, and there you have it. bernie sanders didn't get the numbers, biden has the broader support, so biden is the candidate. phil: will sander supporters necessarily flock to biden? reporter: that's a very good question. there is a big question mark about this. largely, hopefully, at least, in the sense that biden needs to reach out and needs to have all wings and all different sections of their party under his wing, so to speak. the progressives, if biden wants to have a solid chance against donald trump in november, has to go in his direction and support his agenda. biden already reacted to bernie sa

democratic party in the mainstream. p, we have to use them as people power together. so that we can indeed own the future. thank you again to everyone that is involved in this event and in this project. and all of you that came here tonight. let's now open up for q-and-a and please, remember to speak into the microphone. i will be happy to hand over to anyone that would like to ask a question. >> thank you. i wanted to ask about the role of grace. historicallyro in terms of what i'm most interested is hearing your thoughts on the tension between the two distinct inspiring things which on the one hand for the coming together of the working class to understand themselves as a class versus very specific projects and things that are articulated that can be articulated that are not a necessarily articulated. >> that was the one question. does that make sense? >> yes. [inaudible] what we try to argue in the book is that it has to look different than it has elsewhere for two verybu specific reasons of landn the body, so first

is going to take all hands on deck to be donald trump and the democratic party. every day spent fighting inside the party just makes it that much harder to raise money and to prepare and to build organization for the general election in the fall. my guess is there were a lot of people calling bernie sanders and saying -- i hope we'll talk about this, because a lot of the accomplishment in this campaign, moving the party to the left, he basically accomplished that by now. i'm sure there were people saying, "bernie, it's time to leave." >> melissa: chris, it's melissa francis. you know, it's interesting, everyone is going to try to use this moment to sort of stand up and say, "this is why you should believe in what i believe in, because this crisis has been caused by the opposite policies." in fact, we heard bernie sanders say a bit of that when he was talking about the fact -- "this crisis proves that employer-based health care does not work. it proves that we need a medicare for all system where there is equal access to health care." and it's an interesting point

the vice chair of the democratic party to get his reaction to the arrests for. theory because like much in the he's just exercising his. expression and she could dissipated in game 3. a specific. claim 60 trying to teach us to send the police when she pulled a society of expression. and it rests pulls to use of those letters that i think a lot of people are angry and this will make a lot of people just try to eat authentic and. germany is so far enjoying relative success in fighting the coronavirus so no surprise perhaps that sports fans and club administrators are asking when football will return to german football league is currently suspended but some club officials hope to resume the bundesliga season in may even an empty stadiums. this league games being played without spectators was almost unimaginable just several weeks ago. fritsch a board member with the german football league and a politician and health experts have starkly different takes whether the league should even pick up where it left off. seps. personally don't think game is really good idea bu

the democratic party has enormous problems. we saw in president obama's speech where he basically went out of his way to say the democratic party would be wise to run on the bernie sanders platform rather than the barack obama platform. he himself said if i were running today, i wouldn't be running on the same platform i ran out into eight and made all kinds of that -- sounded like bernie sanders on health care, went out of his way to diss the affordable care act by saying it was insufficient, we have to basically do what bernie wants to do. so there is a battle going on for the enthusiasm of the left of the democratic party and it involves caving on a wide variety of issues. bernie sanders lost the nomination but it appears to be he is winning the platform battle. >> dana: how do you see that? >> i disagree a little bit with my friend karl rove for several reasons. barack obama said early on that the nominee should be selected by the voters not by the bigwigs on the big shots of vice president biden was able to get enough dele

the democratic party has postponed the national convention until august. due to coronavirus concerns. at the meeting the democrats will nominate a candidate for november presidential election. the party says it pushed back the opening of the convention from july 13 to the week of august 17. the results of primarying and caucuses so far show former vice president biden well ahead of senator sand. who seems determined to score a come from behind victory. fears about the virus have forced both to suspend rallies and prompted states to delay the nominating contests. or adopt voting by mail. new york state moved the primary from april 28 to june. the democratic national committee chairman said the health and safety of the convention delegates is the party top priority. he said the democratic party is ready to defeat donald trump. >> sources at south korea unification ministrtry say it approved for the first time an aide plan by a private organization to help north korea deal with the coronavirus pandndemic. the plan w worth aboutut $80,00 calllls for supplies i

and earlier we spoke to a local in haiti the vice chair of the democratic party to get his reaction to the arrests. very. like the. troops. it's early morning in berlin major general broyard is on his way to his morning briefing there are many topics on the table from stuffing levels to the security situation from media coverage to the weather and of course the many requests for help they receive from across the country according to the major general the coronavirus crisis is also the kind of assistance his command provides in the past the german army has mainly offered support in the event of floods and forest fires now the entire country has to deal with a different kind of calamity. in in the last few days we had to turn down a number of requests and whenever it's a matter of medical supplies which are very very scarce for us to do what we can do and what has been happening over the last week and a half is offer a helping hand. and. like a town in southern germany here 35 soldiers are now providing support in retirement and nursing homes. you could have to get into of course our nur
