and that is how we got agnew. >> were going to go to john in washington, d.c. ahead. >> good morning. i have a simple question to ask both of you ? what a significant role did the republican party play in the voting rights act ? both past and modern day ? did they embrace the idea of black american voters ? i'm also writing that u.s. recovery act. asking for judicial protection. since we do not have that. since -- >> in 1965 lyndon johnson couldn't have passed that without a strong support from republicans. there were republicans in congress and around the country who supported the voting rights. in 1965 the republican party had a substantial wing. it was pro-civil rights, it was in the midwest and the northeast. in the party was heterogeneous ideologically. but then in three's short years that position was no longer viable in the national republican party. that's why it was hard for a path for romney or rockefeller. in the southern strategy. the idea that the republican future was going to be through the south. by 1968 we see in the nixon that negotiations, an

and agnew would engage in like-minded rhetoric.nd so the selection of agnew in a sense was a shrewd one. because it was consistent with the campaign themes that nixon was going to run on, especially again, this issue of law and order. the other thing i'll say about agnew is he later on became somewhat known for his attacks, his really biting and some would say vicious attacks on the media. at one point he called them the natteri nattering neigh bombs of negative activity, and that, of course, is a very modern idea, too, and echos in our own politics. but nixon had a famously fractious relationship with the media. and disliked, distrusted the media. his office had his enemies list, including members of the media on it. 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 nixo

agnew, you are wrong. we can indict you, we can indict the president. so giuliani is put it ting it o there that it is not in his favor. this is a counterintelligence investigation as well as potential criminal investigation. so they really want him for the broadest of reasons. >> maggie, is this paradoxically an incidence where robert mueller's past could help the president? >> that is what the president's people are hoping for. i don't know what rudy giuliani said is what happened. i know that is his presentation of what happened. when i spoke to him. and i am assuming he had the same conversation with dana. he described it to me when this came up in their meeting two weeks or so ago with mueller's team, mueller did not say they were going to adhere to the doj guidelines. so assuming all of that is true, yes, i think the reading that the president's people have had for some time, his legal team and his broader group of advisers is that mueller has a history of being cautious and history and a more conservative reader of the law who is not going to wan

i got a picture of him and spiro agnew looking really chummy. he did not know spiro agnew. this is one of my favorite shots because of the men on the right, agnew ended up in the white house because gerald ford replaced him. that is how i became the white house photographer. randy is joining us from florida. good morning. caller: yes, hello. i wanted to respond to a couple of the black callers because they were saying white supremacy and all this other stuff. if you remember, starting when we only had three tv channels anchors, they would not tellyou that the democratic ones who were the segregationists, the ku klux them.like 95% of compared to the republican conservatives who were offering opportunity, but the democrats were saying that they hate you and don't want you to succed. -- sexy. s-- succeed. host: we are going to get a response. guest: it is a fact that most of the southern states after world war ii were represented by democrats in congress. at the time, there were some of the most antiblack writing and lynching taken place. one became associated with the other.

and of course spiro agnew ended up in jail. i don't know if mike pence is going to end up in jail. i do know this, mike pence was there when paul manafort was around, when those meetings were being taken. and willie geist, it seems strange to me that any american who wants to get to the bottom of russia's involvement in 20th 2016 campaign could call for the end of an investigation that a is actually uncovering new connections to russian oligarchs as we speak would want to get rid of an investigation that has already indicted 13 russians, indicted donald trump's first national security adviser, indicted donald trump's campaign manager who trump said was absolutely necessary to get him the nomination of the republican party, indicted an assistant campaign manager in rick gates, indicted who donald trump said was one of his top foreign policy advisers. i mean, the indictments are going left and right and if everything we hear is correct, donald trump's personal attorney for a decade is going to be indicted by the southern district

one of the defendants was trying to getted bailed out use agnew decision from the california supreme court. leslie brinkley explains. >> this is the first time a judge acknowledged that our defense has merit. zblrp harris's attorney offered to use his money for harris to be released into a sober living facility with an electronic ankle maurnt based on a lamar state court ruling requires judges to consider alternatives to jail for criminal defendants who can't afford cash bail. harris, along with derick almena, the founder of the arts collective known as ghost ship are each charged with 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter for the fatal fire back in december of 2016. today a judge turned down a motion to dismiss the charges. almena's wife believes her husband is being scapegoated. >> i'm disappointed the motion got dismissed today. i think -- i don't think that was right. >> but almena will have a chance to speak in court. >> we intend at trial to put our client on. so mr. lambie will be testifying. and he will be testifying on his own behalf. >> attorneys are pushing for an evidenti

spiro agnew had essentially been forced from office, former vice president under nixon, replacing himas gerald ford. a well-meaning congressman. ford, in 1974, finds himself thrust into the position of the president. ford will try. as far as inflation and the economy, he tries. he tries to continue on the diplomatic front the work nixon had begun dealing with the soviets. but he pardons richard nixon, which cost him some of the electorate. and under his watch in 1975, television viewers watched their tv's as the last refugees are removed from saigon as north vietnamese forces take over the south. the 1976 campaign, gerald ford finds himself pitted against a fellow by the name of jimmy carter, another southerner. not just a southerner, but a southerner from georgia. jimmy carter, this is the time magazine cover from 1971, had been in the united states navy. he was from plains, georgia, grew up on a farm. in the navy, he had been an engineer, done submarine duty, and when he gets back, he decides that he has a responsibility to run for office. his early campaigns are notable. first, he

it was not until nixon was elected president that he made an office for his vice president, spiro agnew. before that, he was on the hill. so if he wasn't traveling, and he did a lot of foreign affairs stuff, he reported for work at the congress. and the machinations of the senate, the issues of the republicans and democrats in legislation, was of great interest and knowledge to him. and he campaigned. that's the other thing a vice president gets to do. they campaign. so he would go into individual districts, and this is a very factual guy, who learned all about the ins and outs of particular districts, and the needs and requirements of individual senators, so that when he's working with the congressional relations staff, it is not news to him that somebody in georgia has certain feelings. he already knows that, and he has thought about it, how to make it work. so with that, we will go through some pictures that show, that demonstrate the use of the white house as a lobbying technique. >> i want to interrupt you with one more quick question. -- interrupt you one more quick second. this i

our staff to create training programs that will collapse, costing billions of dollars, and create agnew federal bureaucracy never given a chance to succeed. we should not be in this position, mr. speaker. where should we be? we should be working together as we have with previous farm bills, democrats and republicans, deliberating, negotiating, and, yes, even disagreeing over ideas and approaches, but coming together compromises. the farm bill is america's food bill. it's also a national security item. people don't think about it way. the way. the ability to produce all for america's dinner table every night, the most healthy, nutritious food in the world is a national security issue, i believe. therefore we must support our food security and safety for our fell -- fellow americans. our nation's food policy must feed americans. ensure all farmers can be successful. it should not serve as some and abandon others. it should not further divide us as a country. as i said, this is the third farm bill i have had the privilege to work on and we have worked through these differences in the past.

when we prosecuted spiro agnew, he said he couldn't be indicted and the court said yes, he may be. that would be the rule i'd seek to enforce against this president in the absence of a system that is constitutionally challenged by the errors and misconduct and crimes that are occurring in the west wing. >> can i just add that the american people don't think that anyone should be above the law, even the president of the united states. given that we incarcerate more people in this country than most of the rest of the world combined, the idea that someone could break the law at the highest level and get off scot-free just grates against our sense of fundamental fairness. >> a fitting point to take a pause on. heather, i'll see you later in the show. i want to thank nick ackerman and john for being part of our story. >>> coming up i'll speak to michael avenatti about the legal fight against trump and michael cohen, plus trump's racial comments on racial divisions, the nfl and, yes, the anthem. >> you have to stand proudly for the national anthem or you shouldn't be playing. you shouldn

back in 2012 he told me he wouldn't rule out use agnew clear weapon as president. even in europe.t's listen. don't take nuclear weapons off the table. i have been trying to think how we could conceivably use a nuclear weapon in the middle east in fighting isis. >> i didn't say don't take it. i sailed be very, very slow and hesitant to pull that triger. >> why don't you say i don't know to talk about it. presidents don't talk about nuclear -- >> we were talking about nato which i say is obsolete. >> but you got hooked into something. >> some day maybe. >> maybe? >> of course. where would we drop a nuclear weapon in the middle east? >> let me explain. somebody hits us with a nuke you wouldn't fight back with a nuke. >> drop it into a community where -- >> you don't want to say take everything off the table because you are a bad negotiator if you do that. >> nuclear? >> nuclear should be off the table but would there be a time, possibly. possibly. >> the japanese when we bombed them, they are hearing a guy running for president of the united states talking of maybe using nuclear weap

spiro agnew during the nixon administration. so if a vice president can, why not a president? we, during watergate, thought the president could be indicted, but janwarski was convinced indictment was the politically correct method. we had a congress that was already bipartisan and considering impeachment. we gave a report to that congress for them to use as a road map to impeachment. in this case, turning over a report to congress that showed the evidence that would justify impeachment does not necessarily result in any action. so in this case, an indictment might be the only way to bring about justice, and i think that under the rules, this prosecutor can ask to be relieved of the rule of the department of justice, that there cannot be an indictment. it is not a law. it is just simply an office of legal counsel rule, and so it would be waived. >> jon meacham, this president has been consistent on his characterization of the investigation. this is what president trump said just after the start of the investigation one year ago, take a listen. >> was this the right move or is t

this is spiro agnew part two. >> and i think this is more of a political calculation.potentially run with a clean record, if you will and yet i think calling for the end of the mueller investigation is part of saying i never abandoned trump so he has to find the right balance and he's looking towards whether it's 2020 or 2024. >> what's interesting is i don't think there's any choir to be preached to. three quarters of americans think the investigation needs to go on and 56% of republicans so obviously other than that 30% base, that's pretty much falling on deaf ears. >> i hope so, but i would say -- i have this little organization republicans for the rule of law, the attacks on mueller are having some effect. >> where are we seeing this? >> among republicans. there's an erosion in confidence at mueller. at the beginning when mueller was appointed newt gingrich and others said we can't criticize mueller, impeccable credentials, fbi director served under george w. bush. now it's a free field to slander mueller and attack the fbi so i think it's having some effect. i thi

they went out to san diego to reformulate campaign strategy and i got a picture with him and spiro agnew and he didn't know him. and this is one of five favorite shots because obviously , because of man on the right, i ended up in the white house because gerald ward replaced and after he resigned in 1973 and that is how i became the white house photographer. my first time cover was ford's first time cover. >> good morning. i wanted to respond to a couple of the black callers because they were saying white supremacy and all that other stuff. if you remember starting when we only had three tv channels with the anchors, they would not tell you that the democratic party were the ones who are the segregationist and who were the ku klux klan, like 95% of them, and they -- compared to the republican conservatives who were offering opportunities democrats were saying that they hate you and they don't want you to succeed. >> marvin? >> i don't want to get into the political side of this, but it is a fact that for period of time after world war ii most of the seven states are represented by democr

history of conservative criticism of the media that began after the goldwater election with spiro agnew attacking nattering nabobs of negativity. talkled to conservative radio in the 1980's, which is extremely important, i think, in a movement toward the right and a hardening of the right. roger ailes try to turn rush limbaugh into a tv show. as somebody myself with a face made for radio, i understand that did not work. that only worked so-so. but instead of going smaller he went bigger. no you have the openings online that are in many ways to the right of fox news. this created a media environment .hat facilitated trumps rise we kentucky about this all afternoon, but i think you're right to point to -- we can talk about this all afternoon, but i think you are right to point to that. >> we're almost out of time. you to speak, the gentleman behind her, then that gentleman on the road backed there. let's get three questions up at once. then pin list will decide which to respond to. i'm janice. i was illegally jailed and tortured in the city of alexandria. i was held in solitary confinemen

nixon wsident agnew and ere advocating a certain point of view about the war and the press, and became very adversarial. we saw that through the second bush administration, to a certain extent the obama administration. hastrump administration taken it to a new level. they are not bound by the same rules of civility. they are not bound by the ethical rules we lawyers are bound by. you have the same skill set, the same style brought to public debate, but you don't have the same rules apply. what can the press do? double down on their efforts, reinvest in the news product and focused on investigative journalism, on niche journalism and new ways to bring news to people. continue to stand firm and push back against this whole wave of untruth we are seeing. don't relinquish. continue to come to the marketplace of ideas with a very tough commitment. i would argue, maintained your civility. -- maintain your civility. rosen, you focus on the role of social media. doesn't social media undermine the notion of the marketplace of ideas, that the truth will ultimately emerge from a multitude of voic

john heilemann, the parallels of what mike pence is saying right now and what richard nixon and spiro agnewss for donald trump, he's so used to everybody being a day trader, everything he sends out immediately getting a response on twitter. somebody close to him said sometimes saturday mornings he's just bored and he'll send out tweets not just for the headlines, he loves to see the immediate response, the attacks, the back-and-fourth, robert mueller is maddening because he does the opposite. >> there's a number of things trump is intemperate, but one of the things he's done in time of politics is he's not just lashing out, he likes to -- he believes by attacking people in certain ways he gets inside their heads and unnerves them. he did it to marco rubio and ted cruz and various of his opponents in the '16 race. >> but organisms adapt. mueller has adapted. michael avenatti attacks him everyday and habsn't been attacked by donald trump. >> it makes trump crazy. all he gets is more avenatti in his face. it's like there's a double teamed yin/yang thing going on that i think is part of the men
