he traveled to gettysburg where he invoked lincoln and lbj and he tried to rekindle some of that obama magic to make you forget how far left the democrat party has moved since 2008 when obama was elected. after 47 years in elected office, joe wants you to believe that this time he really knows what he's doing. >> i'll work with democrats and republicans. i will be a president that pushes toward the future, not one that clings to the past. i will marshal the ingenuity and goodwill of this nation to turn division into unity to bring us together. >> laura: okay, that was a lot of nothing. but the man who called president trump a clown and a racist at the first debate, he told us we all needed to just get along. >> i'm concerned, the country is in a dangerous place. our trust in each other is >> just the tip of the iceberg, it is not just that hospitals were closed, it's that there was fear instilled, sort of of fear of frenzy all over the world. so what we see our 650,000 people that were on chemotherapy and did not get their chemo, we have two-thirds of cancer screenings not getting done

meantime, yesterday gettysburg, biden gave an address. you say it was the best speech of his campaign. let's listen to a little bit of that. >> too many americans see our public life not as an arena for mediation of our differences but, rather, they see it as an occasion for total, unrelenting partisan warfare. instead of treating each other's party as the opposition, we treat them as the enemy. this must end. >> unity. he's talking about unity. we haven't had that in a while. >> it's like an undiscovered country. i was deeply impressed by this speech. this was his big unifying speech. it was a vision speech, not a policy speech. yes, i'm guilty of being a lincoln nerd. i wrote a column about it for about how we can unite. we need to remember, a house divided cannot stand. i thought it was eloquent and it came at a place and time when people -- >> you say lincoln nerd like that's a bad thing. >> that's a good thing. >> it's a good thing. >> we're big nerds on this show. >> absolutely. >> john, thanks for getting up with us. appreciate it.

an observer from the christian commission in gettysburg remembered after the battle of gettysburg, at a field hospital in rock creek, and he reflected on the typical state of hospitals in town. and she writes, "the men were in a terrible condition. they lay upon the damp ground, many of them with nothing under them. in the hospitals, there was usually a large number of amputations. the mp to did stumps lying stumps lyingutated directly on the ground, except when on a pile of straw or on old rags. many of these men were in unwanted clothing. suitable food was not to be had. the surgeons were overworked. there was an insufficient number of attendance. nearby were quite a thousand rebels, most of them severely wounded, streaking and crying for assistance. destitute of clothing, many nearly of them were naked and covered with filth, without tents, lying in the mud, cursing, praying, begging for their attendance or visitors to put an end to their suffering. another identified" soldier from the 47th north carolina remembered that he was at the hospital in gettysburg in the years after the w

joe biden is set to deliver his version of a gettysburg address today. his speech expected to be heavy on the themes of unity and healing and the venue is no accident, in the town that is home to the most famous battle of the civil war. campaign aides to biden say he's expected to talk about the battle for the country's soul and how that battle can only be won when americans come together. it's a stark contrast to his opponent who is currently infected with the coronavirus, rattling around the residence of the white house, producing home spun videos that feature him maskless, downplaying the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic that has taken from us more than 210,000 american lives and infected more than 7 million others including the president and many of his closest aides. joining us to

to talk about the cost of division. >> every generation that has followed gettysburg has been faced with a moment when it must answer this question. whether we'll allow the sacrifices made here to be in vain or be fulfilled. this is our moment to answer this essential american question for ourselves and for our time. and my answer is this. it cannot be that after all this country has been through, after all that america's accomplished, after all the years we have stood as a beacon of light to the world, it cannot be that here and now in 2020 we will allow the government of the people, by the people and for the people to perish on this earth. no, it cannot and it must not. >> in the 22-minute speech, joe biden never mentioned donald trump's name, but he did directly attack trumpism. >> i believe in law and order. i've never supported defunding the police, but i also believe injustice is real. it's a product of a history that goes back 400 years. from the moment when black men, women and children first were brought here in chains. i do not believe we have to choose between law and ord
