it was called tobacco road because so many programs were here in north carolina. basketball is very important. it's part of the culture. it's part of when you come to school at north carolina, a lot of people come here come because they want to be part of carolina basketball, men's basketball, women's basketball, carolina athletics in general. it's not the primary reason people come to the school, getting a great education will always be the primary mission, but basketball is part of that. it's part of the fabric of this community, part of the fabric of life in the ac sea. and people do take it seriously here in north carolina. >> weeknights this month, we are featuring american history tv programs as a preview of what's available every weekend on c-span three. tonight, from american history tv's history bookshelf series, a night of authors discussing american presidents, starting with david and jean heidler on the rise of andrew jackson, mitt, manipulation, and the making of modern politics. the book examines andrew jackson's 1828 election to the nation's highest

today's focus is on north carolina. [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] >> good morning. i am the senior politics editor at politico. the electoral map has changed thanks to president trump's 2016 victory and i am joined by my colleague to discuss the new swing states map. throughout the two political conventions, we will look at six states that are at the heart of the electoral map the donald trump has reshaped. >> today, we are focused on north carolina. i have followed north carolina throughout the races as well as charting the year-long battle with the bathroom bill. before we dive into north videona, a politico producer is providing us some background. if there is one state where the act of voting is a factor, its growth carolina. -- north carolina. political and racial division in north carolina runs deep. division can be traced back to the 1888 election when the kkk used violence to affect elector turnout. there i

battleground of north carolina where he has not been shy. we stopped by the republican national convention. 100 delegates in charlotte. people they are voted for him almost 2-1 in 2016, but as of today, it is considered a true toss-up. we've got every angle now. about what america will see this week. chris wallace, jacqui heinrich, but we begin with john roberts, who has moved a few blocks from the white house to the location where the rnc will get underway i guess tonight, you could argue. john, good afternoon. >> where we are now is just outside of the auditorium in downtown washington. that is the washington, d.c., headquarters for everything that is going on with the campaign. even though the main convention is going on in charlotte. what the president is doing again today, as he did last week is really try to draw a sharp contrast between himself, biden, and the dnc in terms of just being out there. unlike joe biden who spend most of the week cooped up in his home in wilmington, delaware. the president is following a more traditional ro

respect for the state of north carolina. because we said we wanted to hold the convention in north carolina and i think you will remember that on november 3rd. we wanted to hold our convention in north carolina. so i did that out of respect. and if you had a governor that would have let us have some people, he actually told me this. we had an arena that holds 19,000 people, totally jammed, every hotel full, everything. i called him and he said but we have a shutdown going on and according to the rules and regulation -- this is 19,000. he did say it. i don't think he'll deny it but he said according to the rules and regulations the most people you're allowed to have in that room, meaning that arena, he viewed it as a room is 10 people. i said 19,000. you are at 10. can we work something in the middle? it didn't sound too good. so we really had no choice. it was a terrible thing and i felt so badly because economic development money, all of the things that happen but we decided, i was with rona and the vice president, everybod

i just want to thank the people of north carolina. to be honest with you, i felt an obligation to be here. you have a governor that is in a total shutdown mood. i guarantee on november 4, it will all open up, it will be fine. 4, you know these democrat governors, they love shut downs until after the election is over because they want to make our numbers look as bad as possible for the economy. v.se to say a people would say maybe not even know way. we have a super v. it is now looking like a super v. automobile numbers are incredible, used cars and brand-new cars, manufacturing is incredible, we are putting a lot of manufacturing jobs to work that the previous administration said you would need a magic wand . i don't think so. i guess we had the magic wand. we are putting them back, we are bringing them back. think of your life prior to the plague coming in. it was the best it has ever been. your state has the best number they have ever had by far. we had the best employment numbers also, up to 160 million jobs. we were never anywhere

in charlotte, north carolina, north carolina. while we are waiting for that, i want to ask you about this, one of the things we have now seen the outline of the trump agenda and how they plan to present it here at the convention, and there's a section on defend our police where they talk about fully fund and hire more police and law enforcement, increase criminal penalties for assault on law enforcement officers, prosecute drive-by shootings as acts of domestic terrorism, bringing violent extremist groups like antifa to justice and end cashless bail. this is a far cry from what we heard from democrats last week who while we were watching images of violence erupted across the country in various cities, they didn't really address the problem, they didn't come out and talk about we need to end the violence in our major cities, it was one of the things they were criticized for at least from the right. what do you think of this strategy? >> you're going to hear a lot about it here at the republican convention this week, defend the pol

carolina, i even stole a great chief of staff from north carolina. and he left congress as a very popular guy. he could have been there for a long time if he wanted. by the way, you have a fantastic young gentleman going to take his place, he's a fantastic young guy, he's going to be a real star in the party. he's going to be a real star in the party, i want to thank everyone from north carolina, i do want to show a little bit of a difference, because another state that's been very good to me is wisconsin. and joe biden was going to have their convention in milwaukee, and they didn't go there at all. they don't do this. we did this out of respect for your state. we didn't do this for any other reason other than respect for the state of north carolina. we said we wanted to hold our convention in north carolina, i think you're going to remember that, frankly on november third. we wanted to hold our convention in north carolina. so i did that out of respect. and if you had a governor that would have let us have some people -- he actually told me this, w

tonight, all eyes focus opened the area around south carolina and north carolina. >> o'donnell: and the winds where you are in new york. lonnie quinn, thank you so much. tonight firefighters are trying to control the largest wildfire so far this year in southern california, burning about 80 miles east of los angeles and has forced the evacuations of more than 2500 homes. more than 26,000 acres have burned since it broke out friday night. investigators say it was caused by hot gas from a vehicle's exhaust. plumes of smoke stretched 300- miles all the way to phoenix. we turn now to the coronavirus pandemic. cases and deaths are rising in at least 28 states. dr. anthony fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert warned today the virus may be starting to surge in ohio, tennesse as on otnoc toll nation's department stores lord and taylor is now filing for bankruptcy. here's cbs's david begnaud. >> reporter: large crowds of people around the country still don't take social distancing guidelines seriously. many people packed this rave under a new york city bridge, it was shoulder to sho

in north carolina, right now north carolina is a republicans in the presidential level. but the republicans arel not running away. it is an incredibly strong contest. in a really tricky position because he does have a full responsibility of feeling of trump and also trying to be diverted voters that have been kind critical to democrats winning the 2018 race. meanwhile, how cunningham, relatively known and kind of a safe alternative. rather than that we think of and 2018 as an inspirational message. all of these best candidates in 2020 and the democratic side, contradicting themselves as middle-of-the-road. they are not trying not to set the world on fire. it is looking for an alternative. bob: president trump is laying in this morning on his own information as he often does. saying this morning, 96 approval rating the republican party 50 percent and another fall, ira obama at this point in time. thank you from president trump. race for wisconsin is next. the democratke line. guest: i think biden, for the vice president picking, i think he should pick somebody is a good l

i just want to thank everybody from north carolina. and i do want to show a little bit of a difference, because another state that has been good to me is wisconsin. [crowd cheering] and joe biden was going to have their convention in milwaukee. and they didn't go there at all. they didn't do this. we did this out of respect for your state. we didn't do this for any other reason then respect for the state of north carolina. because we said we wanted to hold our convention in north carolina. and i think you are going to remember that on november 3. we wanted to hold our convention in north carolina. [applause] so i did that out of respect. and if you had a governor that would have led us -- left as have some people, he actually told me this, we had an arena that holds 19,000 people, it was jam sold out, every hotel was for. i called him, he said, we have a shutdown going on. and according to the rules and regulation, now this is 19,000, he did say it, i don't think he will deny it. but he said according to the rules and regulations, the

north carolina these were pictures from earlier when trump left washington d.c. but he's just arrived in north carolina and he's about to disembark air force one the 4 day long convention is crucial for the president to reverse his slump in opinion polls as he struggles to tackle the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic woes president trump has been trailing his democratic rival joe biden in these swing states are expected to determine the outcome of this vote let's bring in. the white house for us there you are. so the president has just landed we've just seen mike pence speaking in charlotte there's a president coming down the stairs of air force one right now in charlotte north carolina where the republican convention has begun mike pence was speaking just a short time ago from charlotte and the g.o.p. the grand old party the republican party has officially nominated for vice president what do we expect to happen in the next 4 days. well i was just checking to see if my parents were still talking because the interrupted the process of nominating don

markup next in summer field, north carolina. caller: yeah, i think both chris christie and your current guest are completely incorrect about the effect of the vice-presidential pick for biden who is going to be inconsequential. unlike any other candidate in my lifetime, and i've lived quite a long time, it's really not been a factor but i've -- in discussions with people that udgingly vote for biden, they all admit they don't think he's going to last four years. they all admit they think he's going downward in terms of his mental capacities and they're going to be looking at the v.p. as the next-next president in a most certainly they think that's going to happen. biden won't even last one term. i think it is going to be credibly consequential and again will be a huge factor in the race. host: guest: to be clear, i don't think the decision is inconsequential. i think that people who are going to the polls will make decisions based on a variety of factors and don't think the vice-presidential pick will be the top one unless somet

north carolina. [laughter] 71 delegates. 71, president trump. >> history is made in north carolina with our first settlements in the late 15 80's and is one of the original 13 colonies. 1775,y was made may 20, with the declaration of independence declaring our independence from british rule a full year before the u.s. declaration of independence. 1795 withs made in the first public university in america, the university of north carolina. today, it is the home of north thelina state university, largest historic black college in america. history was made in 1903 when the wright brothers, two boys from ohio, came to the superior climate of north carolina to try their new flying contraption. whenry was made in 1922 firstcame the radio station in the country and is still broadcasting today just a few miles down the street. history was made in 2010 one for the first time since the civil war, republicans won control of both the north carolina house and senate. and while they inherited close to $6 billion in

north carolina, pennsylvania, wisconsin. in 2019, arizona was the number two state in terms of job grow growth. january, florida it was number three in terms of job growth. and he needs to message specifically to these states. because this is where the battleground truly is. for president trump on, someone who i personally believe has not stopped running for president since 2016. you've seen it and all of his events. you've seen in north carolina right now, a swing state in which he really needs. he has a true opportunity to rally the american people around something that they can all agree upon. that is that donald trump is a job creation machine. and that is the message that american people should take. coronavirus is bad. of course it is. people are dying, 100%. poverty kills too appeared that it is the message that people really, really understand it resonates with the american people. >> neil: he is pounding it. he's also pounding this vaccine treatment right now. we have been following the president's remarks in north

everything is north carolina. also a couple quick references he made to covid has changed the dynamic here. that's probably an understatement. there's no way of certifying the millions of lives saved, he did acknowledge the 175,000 americans who had lost their lives here but he did go through a litany of other developments including the progress that he is making right now and something that shouldn't be stolen from americans, mail-in ballots take hold. now, he's talking about the propensity for abuse and fraud but the fact of the matter is, most mail-in ballots have not even been released yet to voters. it happens much closer to the election. we had 40 mail-in ballots four years ago, little disruption with those mail-in ballots. in fact, many say a good share of those, disproportionately, went to donald trump in those battleground states and ultimately decided him as the victor. we will go through a lot of all of this and the difference between the 40 million ballots then four years ago, the 80 plus million he se

he's also from north carolina. mr. dejoy is apparently so important to my opponent that tillis skipped a veterans affairs committee meeting to go to a fund-raiser at his home. only agenda is dealing with toxic exposures at an installation right here in north carolina. once again, it's clear that my opponent at least is not going to ask the tough questions and we need to be asking them. the postal service is essential to north carolinans for prescriptions, for checks. we have a very rural, very expansive state here. we need the postal service to be working. >> we appreciate your time, both of you. dr. al gross, democratic candidate for u.s. senate in alaska and cal cunningham is the democratic candidate in north carolina. join msnbc for week long special coverage of the republican national convention as the gop makes the case for a second trump term. join my colleagues rachel maddow, joy reid and nicole wallace here on msnbc. >>> last week we witnessed an unconventional democratic national convention. it will be interes

i just want to thank everybody from north carolina. and i do want to show a little bit of a difference, because another state that has been good to me is wisconsin. [crowd cheering] and joe biden was going to have their convention in milwaukee. and they didn't go there at all. they didn't do this. we did this out of respect for your state. we didn't do this for any other reason then respect for the state of north carolina. because we said we wanted to hold our convention in north carolina. and i think you are going to remember that on november 3. we wanted to hold our convention in north carolina. [applause] so i did that out of respect. and if you had a governor that would have led us -- left as have some people, he actually told me this, we had an arena that holds 19,000 people, it was jam sold out, every hotel was for. i called him, he said, we have a shutdown going on. and according to the rules and regulation, now this is 19,000, he did say it, i don't think he will deny it. but he said according to the rules and regulations, the

of north carolina. john motley morehead iii, attended carolina as undergraduate student in chemist chemistry. made an accidental discovery in a chemistry lab that led to the founding of union carbide and from that, he became an extremely wealthy man. and in the '30s when he conceived of this idea, what you did as a leading edge science education contribution would be building a planetarium. when we opened in 1949, the morehead planetarium was the first in the south. so his contribution was significant. we were also the first planetarium anywhere in the world on a university campus. so he visited the planetarium in chicago. the hayden planetarium. he also visited zeis, the leading lens manufacturer in the world. they arguably still are. in germany. he had a zeis model two projector installed which was the best in the world. his original vision was to be a place of education and enlightenment. >> now here is a photograph released by the satellite and this is a track of what you will see in the lower half

carolina and particularly arizona and north carolina will be strongly contested along with florida and it will be interesting with the trump campaign is making noises about competing for minnesota and we will see if they back that up with resources and they've got a lot of staff in the state, something like 80 people on the ground already working so let's see if they back it up with people. it'll be interesting to see if ohio comes into play and it looks redder than it was four years ago and campaigns are about limited resources and supplying them. in ohio and biting campaign talks taxes but both of these could be giant chunks of change and already you got a lot of money being spent in the states that have been competing in and of course let's not forget main and nebraska. the northern two thirds of maine and the city of omaha and in its suburbs these are the two states that break up their electoral college vote by congressional districts and trump carried these districts in 2016 and if we get close the election could literally come down to how does northern maine in eastern nebraska v

or are they now arizona, north carolina and georgia? i think there's probably an answer that is some place in between there. democrats have plenty of resources to invest in those, but the rnc and president trump are actually the stronger national fund-raisers. democrats have incredibly strong fund-raising network down ballot, but trump has been the republicans strongest fund-raiser. the republican party is having a pretty tremendous fund-raising success through him in the rnc. >> just a snapshot view of the weekly tv ad spending from the wall street journal. and blue is the biden campaign, in red is the trump campaign, you can see the fall off after july 28. this is an ad from america first, a pro trump pact. it focuses on the protests and some of the rioting that followed and the efforts by some democrats to, quote, defund the police. here's the ad. >> come here honey. hide under this bed. >> mommy i'm scared. >> they, mean it's going to be okay. >> you have reached 9-1-1 emergency services. due to budget cuts and increased criminal ac

[cheers and applause] 2020ates, welcome to the republican national convention. offering today's invitation, -- invocation, please welcome from vermont, j sheppard. >> thank you, ronna. my name is jay and i am a republican. i am also a catholic donald trump republican. by the grace of god, i am an american. so let us pray. thank you, o lord, for all the gifts you provide us, not because we deserve them, but solely through your grace and mercy, let us acknowledge the many gifts that god has bestowed upon us, starting with a president and vice president that reflect the values of our founding fathers. and are willing to fight for those values, starting with life, knowing that all life is precious, from conception to natural death. there is

north carolina one of those states considering such action. joining me is the state's attorney general, josh stein. mr. stein, thanks so much for taking the time this morning. >> jim, pleasure to be with you. >> so first let's begin on the lawsuit. are you going to join forces with other attorney generals and sue the administration? have you decided? >> we are exploring our legal options. a number of states share the concerns. the postal service is the definition of an essential service. it's a lifeline to carolina, small businesses depend on it. in an era of pandemic it's a way for people's voice to be heard in a selection by voting so we will protect the postal service this cycle. >> this morning, the president just a few minutes ago said this is just about making the postal service more efficient. do you believe him or do you suspect the president's trying to restrict mail-in voting because he sees political advantage? >> the president last week admitted that he did not want to provide funding for the postal service because he wanted to mak

president has made a surprise early arrival of the party's convention in charlotte north carolina these are live pictures i believe his speaking from charlotte right now the 4 day long event is crucial for trump's bid to reverse his slump in opinion polls as he struggles to tackle the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic woes but he remains confident of securing a 2nd term. if you want to really drive him crazy you see 12 more years i. was right there we caught them doing some really bad things in 2016 let's see what happens we caught them doing some really bad things we have to be very careful because they're trying it again with this whole 80000000 mail in ballots at their work you know and. sending them out to people that didn't ask for the names to use gave them and it's not fair and it's not right. alan fischer is live for us at the white house following this republican national convention for is the president was you speak much later allen in north carolina but he's speaking right now he's been speaking i believe for about a half an hour or so if not war tell us more ab

in north carolina people know joe biden will raise taxes. he will snap back regulations and end the tax cuts. if people understand cunningham is running on that same platform they won't vote for him. if 2014 we did a great job. we will do a great job on november 3rd. >> john: i covered your race in 2014. the book on you in this election is that you are not loyal enough to president trump to win over all of his supporters but you are too loyal to president trump to win over a lot of moderates. you are caught between a rock and a hard place. >> no, i don't think so. if you take a look at the work we did at the state house to turn around this economy and to make it one of the top performing states in the nation. one of the best prepared to deal with the covid pandemic. there were times when i supported the president and sometimes when i disagreed with the process. the president is fully behind me. we have a great relationship. he endorsed me. we will win on the president's results over the last 3.5 years and win on my results over the last 14 y

there are still some parts happening in north carolina. the chairwoman of the rnc said said the whole issue of the press is not on them, it is on you, governor cooper. here's how she put it. >> we want the press there, but this is an rnc decision, this is a governor cooper of north carolina decision that's limiting how many people we can have in a room. >> i guess they're saying because you're currently in a phase where you can't have more than ten people in an indoor space. is she right on this being your call then? >> absolutely not. the rnc has changed their mind so much on this. first in charlotte, then in k gentleman sonville, then back in charlotte. how are they going to have it? one thing that hasn't changed is north carolina's commitment to public health and safety. we're willing to work with them on a safe convention, and look forward to doing that. but in north carolina, we've been able to keep our numbers down. we have not seen the spikes that other states have because we've taken pro-active action. i put in a mandatory mask man

. >> good morning, isaias making landfall across the north carolina coast the center of the storm currently very disorganized. it's trying to keep together but you can see the outer bands, that's going to be the problem we have tornado washings now that have been issued. parts of virginia into virginia beach so we'll be watching that. what comes with that is the rainfall of 2 to 3 inches per hour so ten miles east of rocky mount wilson area of north carolina before it crosses over to the virginia border what the cone of uncertainty says the center of this storm system stays on shore. it's going to gain a little bit of energy going back offshore but still forecasting the same into new york city into the boston area. >> some serious winds there. >>> the coronavirus is now multiplying new rural america. there has been a staggering explosion of new infections. more than 40% of the u.s.'s cases were confirmed in july alone and as the pandemic sweeps across states not hit by the virus, one agency says no region is immune. >> reporter: spreading through our nation's largest cities and suburbs the
