buchanan, who occupies space in my history because he shows up working for richard nixon and is still relevant today, he represented a term back to the pre-world war ii right, the lindbergh right. he rehabilitated the phrase america first. you see it through figures who have a populism that becomes negatively charged, that is conspiratorial, scapegoats. it can lead to places where they are arguing not just against the left, but against america itself. that is a danger for the right. just as the converse is a danger for the left. susan: economics provides the constant storyline. preserving the american economy, one that is constant also is immigration, also racial politics. starting with immigration, especially the people who were outliers you mentioned, why was immigration such a flashpoint? matthew: it's interesting. my story beginning in the 1920's, you have the exclusion acts shutting down immigration from europe. there was a race element to it, and these acts were supported not only on the right but on the progressive left. there was a sense that america did not want its cultural

so richard nixon would go on the show and play the piano. you saw a side of richard nixon that you wouldn't see anywhere else. bobby kennedy's first public appearance on tv after the death of his brother was on the paar show. and the paar show was the place to be. in some ways it was inseparable from this interest we talked about in kind of the larger world and events going on and the news. but i watched paar. and later on, he left, he left in 1962. and television has never been the same. and he came back briefly, in 1973. and i wrote to him. and we struck up a -- his daughter went to harvard, and that was what we had in common. he would write back, handwritten cards and so on and so on. and, you know, when you're young, you do crazy things. so when it was announced, i saw every show that year. i never missed -- you know, five nights a week. and he let it be known in october, the ratings were not great, and you know what, it's very difficult for people in television to come back. i mean, it's very difficult. people, they move on. people have

that seem like dog whistle songs for american conservatives and people were hocks and supporting richard nixonon the same episode he debuted what is truth and on an episode he let guthrie sing the song that was critical of spirit agnew in the nixon administration he then gave a monologue at the end there was a lot of great things happening in this country to play county fairs people came with the prized heifers and the apple pie and launches into nostalgia. i think it was pretty hard for people who did not share his political views to feel like he was not given a chance to eair them. had a wide range of political views to come through on a television show of course it is it shows he gets the last word. >> one of the viewers is asking if you see an artist that reminds you of johnny cash today? >> i see a lot of artist claire is called if you take their citizenship seriously because social media can do it even more regularly across the political spectrum that my personal favorite but there was somebody in country music today because margot price does the same subtle engaged citizen are in her mu

he well richard nixon. who hadn't want in common with do we and it's interesting nixon and dewey were close? personally close but but richard nixon, of course. was nominated twice by his party, but before him the last and ashley stevenson was nominated twice by the democrats, but dewey was the last republican before nixon. how often by the way. i know we had the donald trump hillary clinton contest, but how often have the two candidates major candidates been from the same state? well, not only that 1944 they were from the same county. great daily double. question fdr and thomas dewey both hailed from duchess county new york fdr from hyde park and dewey from little town called pauling, which is only about two miles from the, connecticut. border beautiful spot, it's still a beautiful spot and it was a little thomas's. sort of development old thomas who's a forgotten name today, but who wasn't in some ways to cronkite of his day. he was an even more than that. he was a world traveler who brought movies. he crea

whistle songs today for american conservatives and people who were hawks, you know, and supported richard nixon. but on the same episode he debuted what is truth right and on an episode where he let arlo guthrie sing the song that's really critical of spiro agnew and the nixon administration. he then gave monologue at the end about how they were still a lot of great things happening in this country that they played a bunch of county fairs that summer and you know, people came with their prized heifers and their apple pies and he kind of like, you know launches himself into a nostalgia trip, you know, so i think it was pretty hard for people who didn't share his political views to feel like he didn't at least give him a chance to air them, you know on the same kind of platform and he had you know, he had a wide range of political views from other artists that come through on the television show. of course, he's his show so you get the last word. you know one of our viewers was asking if you see an an artist who is reminds you of johnny cash today. i mean see lots of artists, you know, not only c

you know, richard nixon had a really good white house staff. i mean, there were some really bad people on it. but there were also some really very, very skillful people. one of the elements of revision is looking at nixon's domestic record which is, first of all, much more complete than -- people think of nixon as a foreign policy president who didn't care about domestic policy. and i think the truth is it's very different. i would say eisenhower had excellent staff. of course, you're talking about it's apples and oranges because as late as the hoover administration, you know, the staff was half a dozen people. the staff in the modern sense doesn't even really begin. fdr had more but, again, it's a fragment compared to the model white house. i mean when ford became president there were over 500 people who were on the white house staff. that may have been the last administration that made a deliberate effort to down size the white house staff. and, of course, what they found was they needed all those people. >> who in your opinion was the best s

well, richard nixon, and it's interesting, nixon and dewey were personally close but richard nixon, of course, was nominated twice by his party but before him, and edward stevenson nominated twice by the democrats but dewey was the last republican before nixon. >> how often, by the way, i know we had the donald trump, hillary clinton contest, but how often have two major candidates been from the same state? >> not only that, 1944, they were from the same county. great daily double question. fdr and thomas dewey both hailed from dutchess county new york. fdr from high park and dewey from a town called palling about two miles from the connecticut border, still a beautiful spot, and lowell thomas's development, a forgotten name today but the cronkite of his day and he brought -- he created the myth of lawrence of arabia, for example, and i think he did for 40 years he did a nightly news broadcast which in the last umpteen years he broadcast from his studio next to his home in palling, new york. >> radio, not television. >> radio, exactly. but he was a familiar face. had dozens of books gh

democrats as well as one republican richard nixon who he hated open.openly detested and he made no bones about his his preference for george mcgovern. so you weren't getting anything like objective journalism. he dispensed with all of those conventions instead he gave you the unvarnished truth as he understood it not only about the campaign but about the other media outlets. and i think that's super important about his work is that he's always working. he's always looking rather both ways. he's looking at the thing that he's writing about and then he's looking at the way other people are covering it. so every time you read something by a hundred thompson, you got a good laugh. some crazy ideas and also, you know you learn something because he showed you what was behind the curtain. you he had radical vision? i think that's what i took from his writing as a young journalist. and as you point out in the book here, he is rockrib, republican, kentucky. and kind of a libertarian has politics were very diffused and yet he saw america a wash and greed and vio

and richard nixon returned five years later in 1979, invited by carter to attend a dinner with chineseessen don johnson returned to the white house on december 11th, 1969 for a breakfast with richard nixon. dwight eisenhower, who had a chilly relationship with harry truman, didn't go back at all during the truman administration but went back for a short coverages with john f. kennedy. in years after his presidency, harry truman went back to the white house january 20th, 1961 where he met with president kennedy there after skipping the entire eisenhower administration. a little history loan at 6:38 a.m. >>> more than a hundred ukrainians have been abducted from the city of kherson. the mayor says he believes they were taken for future prisoner of war exchanges. he is pleading for the world not to give up on his city, next. but no. he's currently checkin' his investments. you gotta have a plan outside ththe band, man. digital tools so impressive, you just can't stop. what would you like the power to do? find your beat your moment of calm find your potential then own it support your immun

richard nixon, gerald ford, ronald reagan, george w. bush. then something seems to have happened. i'm not sure. maybe it was the election of 2008. but over the last 15 years or so, all of the sudden, voting rights was no longer a settled question that was noncontroversial and the republican party has abandoned its modern-day position. hopefully there will be some space in the senate to change that now that the influences of the prior president are diminished at least in terms of his presence at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. host: i wanted to ask you next about something that is possibly even more controversial than voting rights unfortunately has become. young people are very frustrated about our campaign-finance system. people who are 18, 19 don't have any court cases but they know citizens united. they know that money is flowing into our system. this is one of the things that from where i sit was obviously troubling. but it's also something i am pessimistic about given the especially very conservative supreme court. do you think this pessimism is warranted? is there some path forwar

taking a direct deed on american politicians like hubert humphrey, edmund muskie, richard nixon, mayor daley in chicago but really it is a kind of journey in a way, multi-staff journey and some more serendipitous things happen as well to shape his body of work. let me ask you a question, i don't think warren's politics were really worked out cleanly. would you put them both in a similar category? >> warren is more a product of san francisco, he kind of along with the water he drank, he drank in the liberal progressive in san francisco so i would put him to the left politically of hunter thompson. consciously, and they were both mavericks and they liked their drink, they liked to have a good time and that was part of the spirit dubbed the 60s and 70s when they were operating at their best so there was something that linked the two. the journalism they added in those areas, rolling stone, before moving to new york and even my salon during the dot.com era were examples of bay area journalism the couldn't exist anywhere else and i am proud of that. even reading obituaries about john duty,

their efforts with the election of donald trump and in the country responded to the murder of richard nixonn —- but then having to push the dam boulder up the hill again and again and again baldwin tried to commit suicide at least three times. and then he is coming off one of those attempts trying to make sense of this moment because he is trying to tell a story to offer resources for us to imagine. so the way that i came out of this it's not the end but the actual pushing it is a beautiful struggle itself. w and to see the precondition for the struggle but if not we will not make it.

in it, she recalls in 1961, a stop the steal movement might well have been justified but richard nixonformal certification of his opponent's election, and then we will read some of what peggy writes this morning. >> this is the first time in 100 years that a candidate for the presidency announced the results of an election in which he was defeated, and announced the victory of his opponent. i do not think that we could have a more striking and eloquent example of the stability of our constitutional system. and of the proud tradition of the american people of developing and respecting and honoring institutions of self-government. our campaigns, no matter how hard fought they may be, no matter how close the election may turn out to be, those who lose accept the verdict, and we support those who win. >> richard nixon on january the 6th, 1961, presiding over the certification of john f. kennedy's victory. here is part of what peggy noonan writes about that moment. quote, we should remember the man who may well have had a presidential election stolen from him but who ended a stop the steal

when we referred our evidence to the congress on richard nixon, we didn't say, it is a referral. it is simply an outline of the evidence showing richard nixon's involvement in the watergate cover-up. again, here i think what the committee has to do is put together the evidence that they have gathered and put it together with the testimony, put it together with the documents, and refer that to the department of justice so they could make up their mind as to whether and want to present to a federal grand jury. that is how it ought to be done. that way they get away from the whole political problem of having to recommend and put the onus on -- >> respectfully, counselor, i don't know in 2022 you'll ever get away the from accusation of political problems. i don't know that legally, i i'm going to say this the most respectful way i can, you sound like bob mueller which is both a complement and a ah, and in that i we're saying gosh if we're careful, we can't be accused of whatever. it is like, look at how people talk and look at politics in the world now. having said that, i'll let nic

democrats as well as one republican, richard nixon who we hated, openly detested and he made no bonest about his preference. you weren't getting any think like objective journalism he dispensed with all of those conventions. instead he gave you the unvarnished truth as he understood it. not only about the campaign about the other media outlets. and i think that is super important about his work he is always looking both ways pretty's looking at the thing is writing about and he's looking at the way other people are covering it. so every time you read something by hunter thompson you got a good laugh, some crazy ideas and also you learn something because he showed you what was by the curtain. >> he had a radical vision i think that is what i took from his writing as a young journalist. and as you point out in the book, here he is from republican kentucky kind and a libertarian his politics werere very diffus. and yet he saw america awash in greed, violence, addiction to war. and frankly the country is not changed all that much in the last several decades. but, i think there is a kind o

. >> ron klain also told george stephanopoulos that richard nixon and donald trump are the only modern presidents who believe that the prosecution deisions need to be made in the oval office. >>> meanwhile, the former president has endorsed sarah palin for alaska's lone congressional seat. palin shocked many when she backed him early in 2016. and now it's his turn. the former alaskan governor hasn't run for office since john mccain tapped her for a running mate. she's up against more than 50 candidates in her current bid. >>> former president barack obama visits his old neighborhood, washington, d.c., tomorrow. he's back at the white house to help celebrate the success of the affordable care act, better known as obamacare. it will be his first public event there since leaving the presidency five years ago. >> i wonder if it's like going back to your home that you used to live in. ah, i remember walking down these halls. >> do you think he left something there? oh, that's mine. >> in the west wing i left a poster hanging, i don't know. >>> you know here at "world news now" we love a goo

richard nixon imposed wage price control, smog -- something shocking for a republican. as they have they were pulled out. inflation went back. jared ford tried things. the one president who indirectly made a huge impact was jimmy carter by putting paul voelker in charge. interest rates went up to 20%. unemployment went up to 10%. it cost ragan and the republicans in the 1982 mid terms but by 1 4 inflation was pretty much gone, the economy was ok and ragan had a land slide and for biden, does -- does he really want to be facing a recession in november? i doubt it. >> one thing the white house has going for it right now is that the labor market is strong and the economy is strong. >> i wouldn't want to be in joe biden's position. do you want to allow inflation to increase? donald trump put a lot of pressure on the fed so i think biden will try to stay away from that because he doesn't want to do what his predecessor did. geoff: earlier you mentioned political messaging. the white house has councilled what is now a new proper noun to scuss inflation. putin's price hike in

one, the tape recording was actually the tape recorder voice, richard nixon, which is pretty powerful evidence with respect to a meeting that occurred a couple days after the watergate break in. this is in some ways just as dramatic, particularly if you look at the walk, suddenly at a certain point in the morning, just before the violent starts, all of the phone, there's no phone calls, there's nothing it's missing. and i think that the inference that one can take from both of these is that what would be there would be extremely incriminate. or we know that donald trump made some phone calls during that period of time. the key issue here is, what did donald trump know about the i want to participate in encourages i was here, we're going to happen before you use the violence as a needs to stop the electoral vote count. that's the big question. i'd like to get your read on the work of the january 6 committee in the house and he didn't seems that law makers have been very busy and that they've been amassing a lot of evidence. what your read yeah, no, i agree with that. i think they've be

republican appointed justice blackman who wrote the opinion and wrote, wade was put in the court by richard nixon. i'm a card carrying member who is republican and so you see the ideologies and principles and values of the party actually changing. and we see now it's less of a reagan party and it is more of a jesse helms party and jesse holmes, his record speaks for itself with justice jackson to be justice jackson on the bench. now it is still a conservative majority. there is a lot of concern in the united states now about roe vs wade, but you just brought up. how likely is it that the supreme court will overturn roe vs wade in the coming months? well, we don't know exactly, but many people are quite worried as they should be. so in taxes, there is a law that's been allowed to go into effect. it's a ban on abortions after 6 weeks of pregnancy, a time which most people won't know that they're pregnant. it makes no exceptions for cases of rape or incest. and again, this is the kind of legislation that 10 years ago, one would never have seen 15 years ago, never would have seen. but this is part an
