phillip agnew in florida, let's begin with you. first, your response to ron desantis and what he said just hours after this upset victory in the democratic primaryry whee andrew gillum won. talk about his words "monkeying it up." >> in florida, we call him a distraction. ron disaster. he is try to takakflorida b back into a vision of the past. we don't spend time talking about him. what we are talking about are the issues that andrew talked about, which is a new vision. we say we're moving with 2020 vision. there's no need to look back. we just need to look forward. on tuesday, we saw the majority of people in the state of florida want to move ford of dust forward. they wanant races for a public school teachers. they want the elected official who is unafraid to say climate change, let alone engage with climate change. so we have an opportunity after two decades of republican trifecta leadership in tallahassee, the governorship, the house and senate, to actually shift our state and move it from being a political punchline to a model

agnew supported it. so agnew was seen as something of a liberal governor, except for the riots where he was very, very hard line. that's one of the reasons he wound up on the ticket. >> i was just going to say, rockefeller thought he still might have a chance at the convention and was going around to governors saying support me. he went to agnew and he said, i'm not doing this again, fool me once, shame on me. >> he did get one governor, governor shaffer of pennsylvania. jules whitcover was covering us then. there was a beer commercial in those days that if shaffer's the one beer to have if you're having more than one. >> let's go to leo in illinois, democrats line here at the table. barbara perry. >> yes, good morning. thank you for taking my call. i want to thank mr. buchanan for the way you give us american history. i was a student in high school at the time. when we understand the importance of this country having been created, and it feels not just with right but with compassion, and gratitude that

agnew to win that area. so i do think that hubert humphrey, if he had moved earlier, would have done better. and one reason is, his campaign from september to that salt lake city speech was bedeviled everywhere with dump the hump and obscene comments and he finally got to the point himself, he was denouncing fascism out here. they won't let me speak. teddy kennedy, he was being denounce. but it turned for humphrey and he began really moving up the hill at a tremendous clip. and i remember going to nixon and saying, we have to attack humphrey to drive the wedge back through the party, because it's coming together. >> we didn't do a thing. >> very quickly, who was george wallace? >> oh, george wallace, what colorful character. pat and i were talking before the show today, and he said he used to go speak with him. so we want pat to way in, but he was a populist, eventually, segregationist. so he was not in his earlier life in alabama, but he was a world war ii veteran. we look back now and realize he may have s

a agnew's resignation coming on the same day he pled to tax evasion. >> the matter of agnew hung over washington like air pollution. no one knows who will be chosen as his predecessor. mr. nixon isn't saying. >> martin london, also -- the author of the book "the client decides" and harvard professor leah rigger. martin, let me come to you first, get your take on why should president trump resign? >> look, this -- he's going downhill. this is just the beginning. he's lost several of his close friends and associates, flynn, gates, cohen, papadopoulos. now he's just lost pecker. seth waxman got it right, when that doorbell rings and the guy says i'm from the fbi, let me tell you, it's every man for himself. so that suggests to me that the longer he waits, the worse it's going to get. i think they're going to go after the trump corporation now. i think weisselberg has got immunity. you know, there's an interesting story there. the complaint says -- the information says that they gave the phony invoice to weisselberg who gave it to executive number two. we don't know who executive number t

agnew was regarded. he is a democrat that opposed open housing. he was very, very hard line on the riots. that's one of the recent he wound up on the ticket. >> i was going to say, rockefeller's buddies thought he still had a chance. and he went to agnew and he said he would not do that. >> one governor, governor schaefer of pennsylvania. there was a beer commercial in those days that if schaefer is the one beer to have, if you are having only one. [ laughter ]. >> let's go to leo in joliet, illinois, democrat line. >> good morning. thank you for taking my call. i want to thank c-span and thank mr. buchanan for the view of american history. i was a student of american history at the time. when we understand the importance of this country having been created. it is filled with compassion and it's -- we stand with god. thank you, mr. buchanan. and thank you, miss. >> thank you for the call. a comment, not a question. i'll comment to that very optimistic view of 1968. and it is one that my colleague at the miller center, mike nelson, also a political

agnew could run as a moderate republican. but he quickly established himself as an anti-radical emblem. someone who repeatedly attacked longhairs and protesters, antiwar demonstrators, we heard a talk about anarchist by george wallace. agnew would engage in like-minded rhetoric. so, the selection of ag new in a sense was a shrewd one because it fit with the campaign themes that nixon was going to run on. especially the issue of law and order. later on it became -- it really was biting about the media. he called them the nattering nabob of neck -- negativity. nixon had a famously fracture his relationship with the media. he disliked and distrusted the media. agnew was a hard-hitting kind of a -- an attack dog of sorts. that's what nixon wanted him to play. >> who else did he consider? >> governor reagan was not on the list. he had established himself as a formidable politician. nixon could not pick him. nixon went to the convention in a tenuous situation. it took 667 votes to get the nomination. he had maybe 26 votes more than

and agnew was a hard-hitting kind of attack dog of sorts. and that was the role that nixon wanted him to play. >> robert merry, who else did he consider and was governor reagan on that list? >> governor reagan was not on the list. i think governor reagan had established himself as too formidable a politician for nixon to have as his vice president he couldn't be sure he could control somebody who commanded that much support. nixon went into that convention in a somewhat tenuous situation. it took 667 votes to get the nomination. and he had, he thought, he had maybe 26 votes more than that. that's not a position of strength. reagan came in and at the convention, as soon as he announced his candidacy. he picked up 19 votes. so nixon had to go to strom thurmond of south carolina. and strom thurmond that nixon needed him desperately. and nixon knew that he needed strom thurmond desperately. and strom thurmond knew that nixon knew. and that therein lies political negotiation. so the two main questions were racial guidelines, guidelines on racial

agnew later became somewhat known for his attacks, his vicious attacks, on the media. idea thatvery modern echoes in our own politics. nixon had a famously fractious relationship with the media. he disliked and distrusted the media. his office had his enemies list including members of the media. agnew was a hard-hitting attack dog of sorts. that was the role nixon wanted him to play. host: who else did he consider? was governor reagan on the list? guest: governor reagan was not on the list. i believe he had established himself as two formidable of a politician. he wasn't sure he could control someone who demanded that much support. nixon went into the convention and a somewhat tenuous situation. my recollection is that it took six under six to seven votes for the nomination. he had 26 more than that. that is not a position of strength. reagan came in and at the convention, as soon as he picked up his candidacy, he picked up 19 votes. nixon had to go to strom thurmond. strom thurmond knew that nixon needed him desperately. nixon knew that he needed strom thurmond desper

so agnew was out. and i remember -- i describe the scene there. nixon is talking and he's building it up, and people stand up and applaud. i thought, there has to be some mistake here. jerry ford isn't standing up. he must be confused. sure enough, it was jerry ford. i mean, he was no star. but he turned out to be, i think, just right for this. he was steady. he set the right tone. i think the pardon was right, to say, now, let's put this behind us and keep going. there was a big discussion, big argument, with the new prosecutor, jaworski and so on, as to whether or not nixon should be prosecuted. i don't know what would have been gained by that. i don't know how the man could have been shamed any more. and he would have written another book, i guess. he did, actually, when he was at san clemente. but as the impeachment was closing in on him, and of course we all thought of the certain names thrown around so much, he said some of the greatest books had been written from jail. referring, of course, to mien camp. but i don't think there was anything

we can talk tojonathan agnew who joins us can talk tojonathan agnew who joins us this morning, jonathan, should the ecb have waited, they are conducting their own internal investigation into the affair, should they have not called up until that reached its conclusion? the hearing may take longer than the week, it might stretch into the distance, the disciplinary hearing. it mirrors what happened in the winter, i know people find it very confusing, the fact that before he had been charged ben stokes was not picked by england, he was unavailable for selection. when he is charged they do pick him. that does not seem entirely logical but they will say they do not want to prejudice he's had a long week in court and so on, whether that is mentally draining our whether he is fully focused not, that is for the coach to say, but knowing ben stokes a little as i do i think he's the sort of person who will be able to put all that to one side and will be keen to get back to plain cricket again. we know he missed the last test and his talents are all there to see, this is not the first incident of n

and the principal lawyer for vice president spiro agnew." magazine entitled, "i was a lawyer for spiro agnew. president trump should consider resigning." why should donald trump consider resigning? >> because it's only going to get worse. we already have everybody, you know, the rats are leaving the ship. he's lost gates, papadopoulos, cohen, flynn, now pecker. he'll probably lose others from the trump organization. and we don't know a quarter of what's in the pocket of the prosecutor. and if he has any interest at all in not only saving his skin but the skin of his child, his children, his son-in-law, his grandchildren, his daughter, this is a time when he's got to seriously think about it. now, is he capable of that, of serious thinking? frankly, i doubt it. if he's going to be advised by people like clown giuliani and people who don't know that truth is truth, then he's not going to get anywhere. the national interest is what drove the agnew resignation. >> so, did you push, aesthetic, i'm just curious, the joe scarborough seven second d

agnew called us nattering nabobs of nepotism. nixon had an enemies list. many of the people on that list were journalists. i was not on the list, but i was covering the pentagon during part of the nixon administration before i moved to the white house, and i found out that my phone was tapped, my work phone was tapped. i found out by calling my bureau and telling them something that was not true and seeing if it came back to me, and it did. there are other examples, but nothing compares with the present day. in the past, we have never had a president accuse us in such harsh terms. the other night, he said we might be responsible for wars. he called us anti-american. in the past, news organizations never had to hire security personnel to protect white house journalists at trump rallies. and never in the past have we had to figure out what to do with a president who tells falsehood after falsehood after falsehood. do we say he is lying, as the "new york times" did on a couple of occasions? after all, lying implies that he knowingly said something contrary to

spiro agnew my question is because people assume in the case of articulate and erudite presidents like bill clinton and barack obama as you correctly mentioned, who speak , do they assume every speech is their own speech? but in the case of less articulate people like nixon, people say that can't be his words. my other question is, for a presidential speechwriter, is it more difficult to work with an articulate president who might nitpick and torture them to hell, producing draft after draft, where a less articulate president will take the speech hook line and sinker? june: i disagree. i think there are a lot of famous speechwriters. the whole obama team is famous. everyone knows john favreau, they have gotten plenty of coverage from the media. i don't think -- they have gotten their fair share of credit, i would say. i don't know about that. maybe there are more outlets now because they are all over the podcasts. sapphire had a column. there are more ways to get your voice out to claim credit and be famous, i guess. john: does everyone here know that chris matthews was a presidential

nixon asked individuals in congress who should i nominate to replace agnew, and overwhelmingly the answer was if you want someone to get confirmed easily nominate gerald ford. so nixon offers the nomination to ford. betty wasn't happy. in fact steve ford said that his mother hit the roof when she found out. ford tried to ease her concerns. don't worry, he said. vice presidents don't do anything. but she was concerned. she supported him, supported his nomination, supported his confirmation, believed it was the best thing for the country. but i believe there's no better example of just how upset and concerned she was than when nixon congratulated the fords, shook betty's hand, congratulated her and her response to him was congratulations or condolences? now, if there was someone who was happy about ford being nominated for the vice presidentancy was his daughter, susan. she made a bet with her mother he was going to get the nomination. and she gets on the phone and started calling people from the house and letting them know indeed her father was one nominated. and he tells an aide of his wo

not only that, spiro agnew resigned in disgrace for accepting bribes. in all, dozens of nixon administration and campaign aides were convicted and at least ten major figures served jail time. nixon, of course, was pardoned by his successor, gerald ford. all this is a reminder that every administration has its scandals and bad apples but it reveals that not every administration is the same when it comes to what donald trump once called "a culture of government corruption." less than two years into his administration, trump may be on pace to equal or exceed the number set by his swampiest predecessor, richard nixon, that's your reality check. >> may get tired of winning when it comes to that race. >> not a race you want to win. >> thank you for the reality check, john. >> absolutely. >>> a whole lot of news. some new statements by the president we have to dive into. let's get to it. >> it's called flipping and it almost ought to be illegal. >> he wants to turn his life into television. >> failing to report a lawful contribution is the political equivalent

looking back at it, after harvey was killed i looked back and part of that legacy was agnew's attempt to get the nondiscrimination bill every single year. finally got it passed by both houses and the republican governor vetoed it nearly burning down the state building but i also think he almost certainly could have become mayor and what a difference that might have made to have an openly gay man, that is the part that causes me the most grief when i contemplate what might have been. >> another question here. >> you mentioned a superhero of sorts which is often the way. given you were there in the 70s, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts whether his reputation has evolved or changed. >> i was speaking about interviewing his family members. now we still don't know but his memory faded very quickly and part of that was the loss of a generation and their stories. the most gay kid on the streets, i loved learning about their experiences, how they survived. most of that was disrupted by the epidemic. harvey's family i remember being -- for 30 years we were doing everything we coul

here's our cricket correspondent jonathan agnew.tonjennings retaining his place despite some calls for him to be dropped after his performance in the series so far. moeen ali has scored a lot of runs for worcestershire and taken big wickets, so he is also pushing for a recall. danny cipriani is set to make his gloucester debut tonight, free to play after being given just a reprimand by the rfu following his arrest injersey last week outside a nightclub. an rfu disciplinary panel upheld the misconduct charge against him but decided against further sanction. he'd already been fined a total of £4000 by a jersey magistrate and his club after pleading guilty to common assault and resisting arrest. you can only select your strongest side. if he is going to be one of that 33 representing england, then surely england can have a discussion with him. danny is not stupid, he knows he has learnt a lesson and he will move on. the ultimate judgment has to be what he does on the rugby field. i think that is the way to go forward. england cricket h

many people in this room room -- remember an october 1973, the vice president agnew was forced to resign. taking bribes. nixon asked individuals in congress, who should i nominate? overwhelmingly, the answer was, if you want somebody who should be nominated easily, nominate ford. nixon offers this nomination to ford. betty was not happy. in fact, steve ford said his mother hit the roof when she found out. ford tried to ease her concerns. don't worry, he said, vice presidents do not do anything. [laughter] dr. kaufman: but she was concerned. she supported him. supported his nomination. supported his confirmation. believed it was the best thing for the country. but there is no better example of just how concerned and upset she was than when nixon congratulated the ford's. shook betty's hand, congratulated her, her response to him was, congratulations or condolences? there was someone who was happy about ford being nominated for the vice presidency, his daughter susan. she made a five dollar bet with her mother he was going to get the nomination. sure enough, when the nomination came down s

concrete unfortunately that would be now coming under scrutiny let's widen things out now with patty agnew a rum based journalist for the sunday independent joining us via skype from rome patty i've had a question from one of our viewers on facebook live who said who is ultimately responsible for this this is criminal you neglect obviously we don't know that yet but with your knowledge of of italian politics and italian life is this got to go right back to to government levels do you think you know if i think it's very clear if it proves that this tragedy has happened because of a lack of proper and routine maintenance to the bridge then it's the company that runs that section of the other settle down is. just not be tell you which is owned by the. luxury close where a firm bennett they are responsible they're responsible for they don't cave and if there is i'm sure there will be a very lengthy. legal proceedings coming out of this tragedy and the better may well be held responsible for this tragedy and a live sunday got with the minister introduction minister conelly said was afternoon i

jonathan agnew, the bbc‘s cricket correspondent and host of the show, read out an email sent in by ae built gradually through to his 50s as a true gentleman, a pharmacist, sportsman, father of two boys until unexpected cloud cover descended just as he was looking to break free from the shackles and play with the freedom that retirement would bring. on an ever increasingly sticky wicket, he faced up and defended against a beamer in the form of leukaemia. the yorker of muscular dystrophy, the googly of parkinson‘s, the reverse swing of diabetes and latterly, was struck down by the vicious bouncer of dementia. but like fellow yorkshireman, brian close, he never winced, complained or succumbed to the temptation of amateur dramatics, he just accepted the cards he‘d been dealt and squeezed every last drop out of life that he could on a single, by single basis with his amazing care team acting as runners. on 83, dad finally faced the inevitable, unplayable delivery and left the field of play." "i use this cricket analogy" says patrick, "because tms has been and will continue to be, an insti
