Connecting people with the exact same Health Insurance. An africanamerican, and an a
Election and his defeat in 1980 by mr. Reagan. Mr. Balmer spoke at the Jimmy Carter Museum in atlanta back in 2014. Welcome. Its a pleasure for me tonight to introduce randall balmer, professor of arts and sciences at dartmouth college. I have followed his career for a long time. His under graduate work was done at a school where my father was a dean and my brother joe attended that school at the same time. And randy has turned into one of our great, modern american historians. One of the things that makes him great is he really minds the resources of president ial libraries. He really mines the resources of president ial libraries. He has come to the carter library, gone through and found very interesting documents that other people had not seen before. And he has done that at other president ial libraries. Combined with that, he has also mined the resources of the archives on various evangelical organizations that have become involved in politics. And on top of his research skills, h

Election 1976, a case study. Your host is political analyst richard scannan. With me here in washington today are mr. Steven hess of the Bookings Institution and professor Howard Penniman of georgetown university. Now, this is the first of a series of programs that are going to extend over the full period of the campaign until beyond the election in november in our bicentennial political year. What we want to do is to bring a picture of the american electoral process. We will have special programs dealing with the parties and the media, and the campaign technique and polling and the rest. But what we are really aiming to do is to give you a picture of the way in which we select our american president. And how 215 or 220 million americans can provide every four years a process by which leadership can be developed and transferred over these 200 years of American History. Who what we hope to do is bring you discussions of these various aspects of the Electoral Campaign and begin that disc
Human being for eight minutes and ended his life. And many millions of americans are angry. Especially in minneapolis. The policeman who killed george floyd, and the three other cops who stood there and did nothing to stop it were fired. But none of them had been charged with anything until today which was almost certainly a result of what happened last night. And the fact that no charges were filed for anyone who saw that video was hard to understand. So yesterday, late in the day, the us attorney, the county attorney and the fbi held a joint press conference, which was intended to reassure everyone that justice would be done. But it didnt. It made it worse. And so again, protestors gathered. They threw rocks, they set the Police Station on fire. The police had to abandon their headquarters. They abandoned the neighborhood. Stores were set on fire. There were explosions. It was scary. It was dangerous. Some of the angry people started looting, breaking windows, stealing merchandise, s
