    The Losers: Losing Presidential Candidates Explain their Losses

    Time now … for the losers. Time to hear from presidential candidates who ran for the White House – and lost … and the reasons they gave for losing. Like Democrat John Kerry after the 2004 election Fear and the war were shoved at America in an exploited way that made it very difficult for people to get out from under that 9-11. And when Osama bin Laden appeared on the Friday before the election in that tape, it shifted the last days of that election. And Republican George Bush after the 1992 election: I think by beating back against tremendous odds, some lousy legislation, we ended up with getting good legislation. I'm afraid in the campaign, in the process, we were accused of being against people because of having to take a stand for fiscal responsibility Losing a presidential election is back in the news. In September 2025, Kamala Harris will publish a memoir on her losing run for the White House in 2024.   Which makes this the perfect time to hear other presidential candidates explain why they lost.   What do they say about losing? What went wrong? Why failure? Who's to blame? – And -- is it ever the losers' fault?   Find out in the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" — when we hear exclusively from just one group of people — the losers.   Find C-SPAN's "The Weekly" wherever you get podcasts.

    Congress and 9/11: "We are not Democrats or Republicans. We are Americans"

    Can you imagine a time when Democrats and Republicans in Congress not only voted the same way — but said the same thing? It actually did happen — right after the terror attacks of 9/11 "Today, we join together not as Democrats nor Republicans, but Mr. Speaker, as proud Americans prepared to defend freedom as our forebears did before us." That was House Democratic Minority Whip David Bonior — September 14th, 2001 ... and from that same day, here's Congressman Jerry Lewis — a Republican: There is no party. My colleague, Jack Murtha and I working on this Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, know the importance of national strength. But when our people come together, there is no Democrat, there is no Republican. We are the American people. What was the specific legislation Congress was considering that inspired such bipartisan rhetoric? Who else — in both the House and the Senate — used that identicial rhetorical construct - "We are not Democrats or Republicans. We are Americans." And what did Democrats in Congress say about Republican President George W. Bush that day in Congress — three days after the terror attacks.

    Remembering Mark Knoller — His Decades at the White House, and on C-SPAN

    On August 30th, 2025, Mark Knoller, the legendary, long-time member of the White House press corps, died. In tribute, the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" is all about Mark Knoller — his decades of appearances — and mentions — on C-SPAN. Like this: TONY SNOW: "Knoller — have you had family over to the White House?" MARK KNOLLER: "A couple of years ago I brought my mom to the Christmas reception. It blew her mind. She was really awestruck by it." TONY SNOW: "What did you do?" MARK KNOLLER: "She got to meet the president. The president noted I brought my mom. And we've heard the president speak about his mom, And his relationship with him mom. As we walked away from getting our picture taken, he pointed at my mom and gave me a thumbs up." That was February 20th, 2007... Mark Knoller's birthday. He was on a panel discussing the White House press corps. But in a twist, the panel moderator, the one asking the questions, was then-press secretary to President George W. Bush — Tony Snow. What stories did Mark Knoller tell on C-SPAN about his decades covering the White House? What did fellow reporters say about him? What did Presidents say to him? And what was his single greatest contribution to modern day White House history and the presidency? Find out in the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" — as we remember Mark Knoller.

    It's the 50th anniversary of "Jaws" – So Let's Hear from Joe Scarborough and Hunter Scott

    The House of Representatives … October 10th, 1998, … A Republican Congressman from Florida rises and makes remarks about a bill he's introducing:   In the closing days of World War II, the U.S.S. Indianapolis had its hull pierced by three Japanese torpedoes. Twelve minutes later the cruiser went down. On board were almost 1,200 crew members and only 300 survived, the others dying of shark attacks and exposure. For half a century, the 316 remaining surviving crew members of the worst disaster in Naval history tried in vain to defend the honor of their captain, Charles McVay. This year a new secret weapon was employed in their quest, and that weapon was a 13-year-old boy named Hunter Scott    Who was that? That was former representative Joe Scarborough. His mention of the U.S.S. Indianapolis might sound familiar –The story of its sinking by a sub was shared in that speech by Congressman Scarborough – and in a stirring soliloquy from a salty seasoned shark hunter in Steven Spielberg's seminal Seventies summer spectacular, Jaws. But the mention of Hunter Scott might be new to you. Who's Hunter Scott? Why did Joe Scarborough call him "a secret weapon"? And how did they take on the U.S. Navy together to change history – and win? Find out in this week's episode of C-SPAN's podcast "The Weekly" – as we mark the 50th anniversary of the blockbuster movie "Jaws" … Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
