[cheering and applause] and, let me say this, this nomination is not for me alone. it is for the ideas, principles and values that we stand for. and my job has been made easier by a leader who has taken a lot of unfair criticism, with grace and humor, the vice president of the united states, dan quayle. and i am very grateful to him. i want to talk tonight about the sharp choice that i intend to offer americans this fall, a choice between different agendas, different directions, and yes, a choice about the character of the man you want to lead this nation. i

he's in a different place than george h.w. bush and he's better known than due khim. there is no president since george h.w. bush ran for reelection has been in a tougher spot than donald trump is right now. >> so bottom line what the trump campaign has to do is convince voters the ones who may be undecided out there that joe biden is a risk. they see his popularity ratings. they know that most of the public believes he hasn't done a good job on coronavirus but they're going to try to convince voters you know me, joe biden is a riskier candidate. >> as we wait the first night of the republican national convepgconvepg conventi convention. we're getting reporting there might be too much trump. >>> a one-two punch from tim scott and nikki haley defending the president on race, foreign policy and more. what happens now? now that the rent's due but they've cut your pay. now that the virus has cost lives but your healthcare costs too much. now that our president has had months but he still doesn't have a plan. what happens now? joe biden knows how to lead through a crisis b

h.w. bush. explore iing the story. watch american history tv this weekend on cspan3. up next on civil war, his tor can yan harold holzer and valerie paley talk about artifacts featured in their publication. discussing objects relating to soldier's uniforms. this took place online and the new york historical society provide d the video. >> so now, civil war fashion. and to help us understand the past as a historian at new york historical, i work alongside these treasures every day and it is my great privilege to use them in exhibitions as well. but harold, let's tell our audience about the inspiration for our program, the book, civil war in 50 objects. how can only 50 objects tell such a sweeping story? >> we used to ask ourselves that question often when we were whittling down the list and there was so much to choose from. the hardest things to preserve are textiles. some are really extraordinary in terms of how they survived. >> absolutely. we have a uniform. some military buttons. foot l

you mentioned george h.w. bush, and one of the things he did was he was effective lu acting president, but he refused to have his helicopter land on the white house lawn during that period, and i thought that was an important symbolic step so reagan later saw that bush wasn't trying to acrete power to himself in the circumstance and also -- [inaudible] david gergen was in the situation room, he kept excusing himself, up clear why, but richard allen didn't structures him and -- trust him and thought he kept going out to leak to the press and that's why he had him named professor leaky. >> so we're coming to the end of our hour, and so maybe i can ask kiron to, if you have a last thought that you want to put on the table about the book, and then i'm going to ask tevi to close it out with a final summation of whatever else hasn't been said. >> what i liked about the book in particular is that it is, it fills a void in presidential history. we often think of in-fighting in the context of just scandal after scandal

you look at george h.w. bush and a lot of people have be critical of george h.w. bush and politicians from '84, '89, because of the policies put in place that people thought were too harsh. tough sentencing, mandatory minimums. to understand that time you also have to understand that we were in the middle of a crack epidemic. we were in the middle of a crime wave. whether you looked at new york city or other major cities, you had politicians, including liberal politicians, responding to what they saw at the time, while a lot of politicians supported the crime bill. i didn't support the crime bill when i was running. i ran against the crime bill but certainly you can understand why some politicians, democratic and republican, liberal and conservative, supported the crime bill. what you have seen with a lot of criminal justice reform over the past several years, you've seen that happening why? because crime is at a 50-year low. and there are a lot of people who believe, like our friend mark holden, and people on the left and right believed that now is the time to ta

h.w. bush, reagan's vice president. and in may, his appointments, mike dukakis the governor of massachusetts is attacking bush and saying part of the reagan administration, had scandal after scandal and bush was part of it he told with the squeeze factor. his campaign person with lee atwater. he was putting together a pretty vicious campaign that played on racial backlash was very much a character assassination kind of campaign. and in may when bush is struggling any commences bush to talk about jim right all the time. to take this story that is really been on the fringes and mainstream and into the campaign. so atwater cell politics just like gingrich. as a bloodsport, characte is about storytelling. gingrich was a historian and what historian was about i thought politics should be run accordingly back up a little bi bit. i think for people who do not follow the story, the thought of the late '80s as a house leader who is a liberal texan democrat's going to seemed like an anachronism. tal

george h.w. bush and ronald reagan went at each other on the economy. guess who became the vice president of the united states? >> right. >> george h.w. bush. >> there you go. jonathan, come see me again. this is fun. >> sure. invite me back. >> you think this will be wrapped up in it terms of the veep choice by this time next week? >> i give it one more week. >> really? >> yeah. >> all right. mid august. >> yes. all right. in portland, oregon, in the wee hours of this morning, a mostly peaceful demonstration on the second straight night since federal agents were withdrawn from the protest front lines. we were talking about that earlier. as the trump administration appropriates to send agents to other cities, a former homeland security official says dhs is badly damaged by what's happened in portland, oregon. >> there is a lot of dangerous work in this country. all this is about politics. there is no way that john wolf didn't understand that this was going to be a controversial deployment. that this was the wrong unit to send to the streets of portland.

you mentioned george h.w. bush and one of the things they did was he was effectively i think president but he refused to have his helicopter land on the white house lawn during that period mac and i thought was an important symbolic step the reagan saw that bush wasn't trying to give -- accrete how to sew. and also some other people may be didn't acquit themselves, david gergen was in a situation room and kept excusing himself come unclear why but richard outland was ashes could advisor didn't trust him about he was leaving the room to leaked to the press and that's why he was named professor of leaking. >> so were coming to the end of our our estimate i can ask kiron if you have a last thought you want to put on the table about the book, and then i will ask tevi to close it out with the final summation whatever else hasn't been said. >> what i like about the book in particular is that it fills the void in presidential history. we often think of infighting in the context of the scandal after scandal, and we re

there was george h.w. bush and barbara with a huge crowd. quayle had to basically force himself through this crowd. his speech was not prepared. he gave a silly speech that sounded like a high school cheerleader which was actually much less than he was capable of. it's the opposite of what you want to see today. >> yeah. jen, what do the democrats need out of this convention? i am of the mindset these conventions may have minimal impact but i don't know. i also see plenty of polling that shows enormous interest in november. will that translate into enormous -- i think we'll have enormous interest in kamala harris' speech and joe biden's speech. what i'm curious of is the overall interest in these two weeks. i don't know. >> well, it's not like there's a lot competing with it, right? so i could imagine actually getting relatively big audiences. they do have an interesting -- the democrats have a range of interesting speakers at their disposal, as well as entertainment. so i think that you could get -- because there's not a lot going on, you c

george h.w. bush, reagan's vice president. and in may his opponent, mike dukakis -- the governor of massachusetts -- is attacking bush and saying that he's sleazy, that he's part of the reagan administration that had iran contra, ited had scandal after scandal and that bush was part of it. he a all called it the sleaze factor. so his campaign person was lee atwater. lee atwater was putting together a pretty vicious campaign that played on racial backlash and is was very much a character assassination kind of campaign. and in may when bush is struggling in the polls, he picks up on this story, and he convinces bush to talk about jim wright all the time and to take this story that had really still been on the fringes and mainstream it into the campaign. so atwater saw politics just like gunning rich. it was a blood -- gingrich. it was a blood sport. character assassination was totally fine, and it was about storytelling. gingrich was a historian who understood what storytelling was about. lee atwater was a professional athlete,

ronald reagan took george h.w. bush. bush represented the moderate wing in 1980 that seemed to be successful but 2004, when john kerry was getting a lot of pressure from folks around him to take john edwards who ran against him in the democratic primaries and edwards was seen as a great communicator. kerry had the instinct to take dick gephart. but he let himself be overruled by the folks around him, he took edwards he made clear in the years since he regrets that pick for all sorts of confederareaso. that's a cautionary tale. >> there's been articles saying the biden campaign is concerned that kamala harris is too ambitio ambitious, she's thinking about running for president the first chance she gets to. but don't worry about january the 20, 2021, worry about the election. don't get ahead of yourself. but also i have to say, i've been interested by the talk of commentators saying that it is racist and misogynistic to talk about kamala harris' ambition when you brought up 1980 and i'm reminded of reagan thinking about pi

bush, running as the hand-picked successor to ronald reagan. george h.w. bush was not a tremendously charismatic figure. if people liked reagan, they said i guess i can vote for bush. similarly, people who liked roosevelt tended to think, we will be safe with taft. that is why he won. bryan tried to use a lot of the same rhetorical techniques. he went out to talk to hundreds of thousands of people, but it was not very successful. the country was prosperous again after a sharp recession in times 1907. were very good. taft was popular because he was the handpicked successor to a popular president, teddy roosevelt. bryan couldn't get any traction. >> case closest race was 1896. we are joined by marie. >> how did william jennings bryan come to live in miami, florida? >> in fact, boca raton, florida. >> his wife mary had contracted crippling arthritis and could not live in the winter climate of nebraska any longer. miami was beginning to be a place for older people to go if they could afford to. also, he had strong supporters in the south. so they had gone to t

reagan rose above that, selected george h.w. bush as his vice president, and it made a great difference, not only for ronald reagan, but also for western civilization as the cold war came to an end and george h.w. bush was in the white house. here, you have another presidential candidate who selects as his vice president someone who is harshly critical of him in a primary process, and i think it speaks to the character of both of these people that they can now work together. >> well, it also speaks, i think, to their intellect. my father always surrounded himself with people who challenged him. he surrounded himself, purposefully, socially and professionally, with people who disagreed with him. and he was always trying to figure out where that common ground was or understand what the other point of view was. i want to bring up another reason why kamala harris may just be the right choice for this time. how many days until the election? joe biden's in a very comfortable position in the polls. you can perhaps even get comfortable

h.w. bush he said the party understands there is a need for police reform you've got a lot of different voices on the republican side on monday night you heard from tim scott a republican united states senator also african-american and he talked about the importance of having police reform legislation that he's sponsoring as a member of the united states senate support of a lot of republican senators and he was saying that the only challenge is getting democrats to work with him to get this present a law so that we don't have any more of these these tragedies because obviously if you have police reform or leave some kind of national standard were police conduct that will keep these kinds of credits from happening again so you had them talk about it on monday night you have a lot of trouble and today night dressing it again is the wife of the president united states so it's certainly something that's important to republicans and it is only the key issue is going to use this content in their

so he doesn't take the george h.w. bush challenge seriously and he ends up lying the iowa caucuses in guy january of 1980 which was a stunning, stunning upset to the political world. it was enormous, i was huge. reagan had been a radio broadcaster in iowa all through the thirties. he was from nearby illinois. he's a local hero. george bush is for new england in texas. he has lost ties to new england attorney prep school to iowa than any prep school in doing. so he beats reagan. that night, time of nemesio zone asheville television and says we have just witnessed the political funeral around. reagan reagan is out. that's it. five weeks later, he scores an enormous come back in the new hampshire primary and we all remember the famous national debate, paying for this microphone, mr. green, even though his name was breen, reagan said green. that begins, that starts the beginning of his come back against bush. but he goes to detroit, the party still divided and so he needs to pick bush to unify the party as they always have

bush, president george w. bush and one appointee who served on president trump's transition team and the biden team really thinki ining this makes the cas. they came out saying they are supporting joe biden because of what they see as corruption and abuse of power from within the west wing, from within the oval office. they said that president trump has used the department of justice to protect himself and his friends and that they really want to take a stand on this, jake, but interesting, too, on the flip side, we saw last night a georgia state representative, a democrat, speaking at the rnc. so we're seeing a little bit of this back and forth, and also important to note just how much do these people, do these past republican appointees and form dish and republicans that are coming out for biden represent where the republican party is today. under president trump. >> there's also this new ad out from a third-party group featuring michael cohen. the president's former lawyer. who we should note is still on ho

i have to say that george h.w. bush was a terrific mentor. i just want to tell one little story about that. when we first met gorbachev in december of 1989, it was a turbulent time. and president bush said, i want you to meet condoleezza rice. she's a professor at stanford. she tells me everything i know about the soviet union. and gorbachev tilted his head and said in russian, i hope she knows a lot. the fact is, president bush wasn't talking to gorbachev, he was talking to everybody in this room and saying this is the person i listen to. so you had better listen to. mentors can do a lot to break down barriers around race or around gender by just advocating for people that they believe in. >> i don't know if you'll remember this, but i saw something like that during the 43 years, it was towards the end, do you remember when the israelis thought there might be some daylight between what you were telling them and what president bush was telling them and do you remember how short that meeting was when the israelis came in -- if you remember, i'

-- president bush, beat president george h.w. bush out there. he went first to the scene there, trying to calm things down after the rodney king riots. >> that's been something, john, that the biden campaign has been a bit slow in doing, they did set up a travel for him next week, he barely traveled this summer. he didn't go to wisconsin for the nominated convention for his own nomination. it was done virtually. they tried to keep the focus squarely on the coronavirus. the question is could they have been doing more to try to -- this. i think he physically could have been out there more, but the president says biden wants to defund the police, he said he doesn't want to defund the police but that won't stop him from saying it. it is extremely hard to fight this kind of asymmetric warfare against someone who is willing to say whatever he wants. >> say whatever he wants, also has the power of the presidency. cnn's jeff zeleny is joining our conversation. to that point, jeff, you know, the former vice president joe biden has thought
