envoy george mitchell gives the keynote address followed by a panel , discussion with ambassadors andf congress and journalists. this 90-minute program begins with remarks by the irish weapon to the u.s.assador anne anderson. >> thank you very much for that introduction. senator mitchell, mrs. vicky kennedy. distinguished panelists. all the distinguished guests. i really am genuinely happy to be here this evening. it is not an easy night for me because the group of my prime minister comes to town tomorrow and they are working very hard the night before but i have to say he's on a kennedy related visit because he comes to the kennedy center tomorrow to open the ireland 100 festival which is the centerpiece of our

you say who is george mitchell.rge mitchell is a geologist from a small company around houston who invented the process of fracking. the discovery of this completely discredited the idea of peak oil. the idea that all of it was discovered and there was no more. he turned the economy of the united states upside down. our balance of payments upside down, revolutionizing our economy and you don't see a word. not a word can sing -- concerning george mitchell. there ought to be a monument to him in the middle of washington mall. bonnie in ohio. this.: my comment is trump cano think that change and turn america around. i would urge people to see hillary's america. i don't want to give a commercial. it's a wonderful movie that really shows us not just hillary and bill clinton but how the democratic party from way back when really impacted some terrible things in our country including slavery. toould just urge people please go see that movie. i know people in hillary's corner probably won't.

my friend, teddy's friends, a true american patriot, senator george mitchell. [applause] senator mitchell: thank you very much, vicky, for that really overly generous introduction. ambassador anderson and colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here and thank you for your warm reception. we join in a recollection of two great events, northern ireland and ted kennedy. ted was a force of nature as they say, a truly great public servant and a wonderful, wonderful colleague and friend to me during my entire time in the senate. i want to begin with a few stories, because ted, while he's best known for his tremendous legislative record, his contribution to the advancement of our society, in particular to the concepts of equal justice and equal opportunity for all americans. ted was also a great storyteller, joke teller, a lover of humor, and i can't tell some of the jokes he told. [laughter] i do want toell: tell a couple. the first is how i met ted kennedy. i was serving as a federal judge in maine when senator muskie was appointed secretary of state ,

teach year, we sense george mitchell and then john kerry. it continues.ome critics call this a love letter to israel. do you see it that way? natalie: it is really funny it came out that way. not that it came out that way but is perceived that way. it is very much, to me, a family story and an individual story. there is the backdrop which is the state. if anything, i find myself i am, a, the same way good citizen is a critical citizen. when it was perceived that way, it was surprising to me. it is not meant as a political statement, it is meant as a family story with a historical backdrop. ♪ charlie: did you seek out advice on directing? natalie: update. mostly in the editing process, i went to direct friends. int was really my first time that process. otherwise, it has been over 20 years i have been acting. been lucky enough to work with a lot of wonderful directors. charlie: did you always know you are going to direct? natalie: i don't know it that i knew very early. since ipast 15 years, turned 20, i was thinking i wanted to direct. and especially, we

she named a high profile special envoy, george mitchell, and didn't want to medal in his business too much t at the beginning. but iraq was a loser and convenience developer. there is an interesting antidote in chris hill's book, the former ambassador under clinton, and he talks about the trip i was on with her and she said if you need anything call me. stay in touch. that was the last time he saw her. she made a couple cold-blooded decisions about where she thought she would get success and iraq wasn't one of them. going back to iran, i think this is fascinating because it shows her instincts filtering in. in '08 she was an iran hawk and ran to the right of obama and iran and didn't want to have talks without conditions. she used this famous tough phrase when asked about if iran ever attacked israeli and she said well we would be in a position to totally obliterate iran. ... if that sort of sits at the mouth of the persian gulf to be the place you can have secret talks and do it privately, no reporters would hear about it and they were unique having ties with the supreme leadership i

they had to bring in george mitchell to play the opponent for bill clinton because it was someone heespected to get him to put the work in. so i think trump saying, i don't want to make time for it is pretty normal. i think hillary clinton and her studiousness and immersing herself in policy books is her wanting to do debate prep. >> she doesn't mind the homework. "the times" also warns that the clinton campaign is conducting analysis of trump's performance in the primaries. let's take a look back where trump may have looked a little unpresidential in those debates. >> look at those hands. are they small hands? and he referred to my hands, if they're small, something else must be small. i guarantee you, there's no problem, i guarantee it. >> that's another lie. i never went bankrupt. that's another lie. [ all speak at once ] >> don't worry about it, little marco. >> gentlemen! >> you gotta do better than that. >> this guy has never won. >> how tough is it to take property from an old woman. >> let me talk. quiet. honestly, megyn, if you don't like it, i'm sorry. i've been very nice t

here now, two men who know all about debate prep, george mitchell, who served as the stand-in as bob dole for bill clinton's 1996 debate prep and former new hampshire senator judd greg who played al gore for george w. bush in 2000 and john kerry in 2004. the senators join me now. i'm really looking forward to this segment. >> thanks for having us. >> thank you. >> senator mitchell, i want to talk to you. president clinton said you were a major asset in prep because you knew bob dole so well. take us behind the scenes. what was that process like, and who do you think would be a good equivalent for secretary clinton today? >> well, i'm not sure on the last point, but in terms of preparation, it's really not rocket science. quite a bit of research was done to identify statements made by senator dole to identify the issues that were likely to arise. the purpose really is to achieve three discreet but overlapping things. first, one of the issues that are likely to come up so the candidate can be fully briefed, fully informed on the iues and address any aspec or question of them. secondly,

[wind howling] the memory would live with them -- would live with him all his life. host: we are back at the mcgovern museum. tell us about george mcgovern. what through his life, starting early on influenced him, defines him? mr. farris: first of all, it is important to remember his father was a minister in the wesleyan methodist denomination. ofa very strict denomination the methodist church. restricts dancing. what george mcgovern got from his father was a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong to the point that he is often accused of not being moral, but moralistic. he got the notion of right and wrong and the notion of doing good. he wrote a lot of of the social gospel, how you apply christianity to social affairs. feeding the hungry, etc. he also interestingly was a very shy child, which would later at influence him. he had some teachers who at first thought he pe

george mcgovern. we are live from the mcgovern museum in mitchell, south dakota. joining us from there is presidential author scott farris. it was 2:30 when he delivered the acceptance speech in miami. why? scott: thank you, greta. i think it was because of the structure of the mcgovern campaign. he was running against the establishment. so it occurred to senator mcgovern, he was very, very strong on the issue of vietnam. one of the things that has drawn me to writing about senator as one of the most influential who ran for the presidency who was not successful, he went after the vietnam issue. he spoke about that war in ways no presidential candidate had ever spoken about war before. it was language as you heard -- that was mild compared to what i have heard it was strong , language that unsettled lots of americans and caused them to worry about how he would win the war. it was an insurgent campaign to end the war against the established democrats. there was a lot of conflict there that eventually lead over into the convention. there were some floor fights, there
