he knew spiro agnew personally. we spent a lot of hours together at the roost which some of you will remember and at listeneda's cafe talking about paper politics and history. i think he would love this new book and the talk here today since he loved the state so much and his commitment to the center and word and deed and his estate is critical. the other person i would like to recognize is ben bradlee. ben was wound of the founders of the center. it was our great good fortune to get to know him. when i was the center's director i was the person who was supposed to organize the bradley lecture in journalism here at the college. i know you all are having your bradley lecture later this week. it is terrific that jason resign is going to be here. that's a great person. but the bradley lecture was more or less a call i would make to ben and he would say who do you want to have? i would run through all the great names in american journalism, ben would choose one and they would come. these people would come down to the co

mcgruder is playing tennis with agnew when agnew asks him going on. mcgruder says, my instinct was to be candid. we screwed up and we are trying to take care of it. agnew says come in that case, we had better not discuss it anymore. agnew knew right on to stay far away from this. butter 1973, agnew has his own problems with taking kickbacks while governor and vice president of the united states. these were largely off of contracts in the state of maryland where he got a percentage. bagst it in brown paper and you read the depositions in evidence and it is pretty damming. people like nixon's solicitor general thought agnew should go to jail. more, but into this there are some real heroes here. the attorney general of the united states, republican elliot richardson, u.s. attorney's office leave no stone uncovered and they go after agnew even baltimore attorney in , who was the republican senator , these are publican appointees who go after the vice president. let's go into that more in the question-and-answer. a few words about agnew post-resignation, i

i think agnew would have beaten john connolly. connolly was a lifetime democrat and newcomer to the republican party. but, if agnew runs absent watergate, does reagan challenge him? it is hypothetical. frank: i would say to you that it would depend on what kind of campaign agnew ran if he would have broken, in important ways, and may be adopted some of the things that reagan strongly believed about foreign policy, i think there would have been a possibility he could have been co-opted. reagan was a practical man. he was not one that wanted to be on fools errands. i remember at the 1975 cpac when there was so much pressure to form a third party, reagan was the adult in the room, he set everybody down and said, the largest grouping of conservatives is in the republican party. why should we try to start some new organization that we know nothing about? he was always a practical man. i think another thing he would have considered, with agnew running essentially a third term for nixon, would he have been a stronger candidate maybe then

agnew failed.at the politics of fear is no politics at all. >> nixon didn't talk much about the silent majority after that. but the idea itself never really went away. >> the silent majority is back. it's back and it's not silent. >> we call it the noisy majority because we're not going take this crap any more. the silent majority is back. the silent majority is back. >> our thanks to tom brokaw for that report. that does it for us. stay with msnbc all day for the latest breaking news and political analysis. we're back at it 6:00 a.m. monday morning with another "morning joe". until then have a wonderful holiday weekend. holiday weekend. for what comes next, the only direction is forward. non-gmo, made with naturally sundown vitamins are all sourced colors and flavors and are gluten & dairy free. they're all clean. all the time. even if sometimes we're not. sundown vitamins. all clean. all the time. get new deals all day during amazon's black friday sale, happening now. ♪ everybody needs somebody t

it is proceeding that the vice president agnew tried to take in his case. we are saying criminal process with a sitting president that they have not ruled out a case as a target falls comfortably with the immunity that i think has to be accepted. >> is this really about the tax records quick. >> it is not. it is about the subpoena. the president has complied with a multitude of requests from federal and state officials. and i really do think your honor the other aspects of the subpoena highlight the impropriety. there is no argument based on what we see that ten years of statement of financial condition or relevant. and one last point about the us government position and nixon. two points. clinton v jones answers a question in the official capacity it to be represented in the case in a civil lawsuit based on unofficial conduct with five private attorneys and the supreme court said he can raise immunity doctrines and that preposterous. he did not prevail but he was defeated by the nature of the court. the department of justice has said and i think their brie

and here he is, making his debut -- 1989 in a hitman role that people used to associate with spiro agnew. it was not an attractive role for him and not an attractive role for bush to have quayle play. sent -- oliphant is calling him out on it. [laughter] >> this to me is a brilliant 'sample of the caricaturist art. we have seen in the cartoons where noses, chins and eyes were treated in typical caricature fashion, exaggerated. here, we do not even see dan quayle. the impression being that he is an infant, therefore of no significance at all. a character as a form of caricature, it is really interesting. the baby carriage has that , the monogram initial super fancy baby carriage from a wealthy family. that is a nice touch. earliert not to say that the little bubbles signified dan quayle. me of dunes berry at the time. it would always show president bush as skippy, the evil twin. that became a huge joke in the white house. resident bush got a big kick out of it. there were many print photos taken of johnson union, bob gave an dick cheney, talking to an empty chair, talking to the itium and

as long as spiro agnew was vice president, they could not impeach him. with ford they had somebody a lot of people could accept in the role. >> he was made fun of, particularly about hitting his head too many times while playing football. lbj started the cte trend before it was a thing. >> i would like to say a word about the band-aid on his forehead. the image that became attached to gerald ford was clumsy. falling down, bumping into things. chevy chase cannot do a proper impression of him but was not good at falling down. it is one of those images that is false. gerald ford had a football scholarship to the university of michigan. that is a non-trivial athletic accomplishment. and in his adult life was an accomplished athlete and a number of sports. the clumsiness got attached to him not because it was true about him as a person, because it was metaphorically correct. an awkward president, not elected, apointed, who succeeds the only president whoever resigned from office, has to navigate the period following that disgrace, and it is full of bumps and

he went undercover at agnew state hospital. his name was bill underwood. tracked him down at the austin hilton and interviewed him and his wife. his experience mirrored that of david's. he had a terrible time at agnew state hospital whic is now in the process of closing. he describes the depersonalization. at one point, he was mistaken for another patient who had diabetes and almost given insulin therapy. at another point, he actually swallowed thorazine because he had been given a thorazine tablet that was a rapid melt tablet, and the idea of cheeking it, what they were trained to do with pills, would not have worked with the rapid melts. he was drugged and in a stupor when his wife visited. it was very traumatic for everybody involved. i found him and felt very positive about that. but through him, i found another person. he was not one of the eight. he was a ninth pseudopatient, a man i call the footnote. host: who was he? susannah: his name is harry landau. he is a professor of psychology at the university of minnesota and he studies smoking cessation.

the education minister, lord agnew.ls from all sides in house of lords to publish a committee report investigating alleged attempts by russian agents to interfere in british domestic politics, in particular the 2016 eu referendum and the general election a year later. the chair of the intelligence and security committee, the independent mp dominic grieve, has called for the report to be published before the general election, saying it contains knowledge ? germane? to voters. borisjohnson had been expected to approve publication of the 50—page dossier last week. his refusal to do so sparked speculation that it could potentially be damaging to the government. a former independent reviewer of terrorism legislation wanted to know why the prime minister hadn't provided confirmation within the usual ten days so that the report could be published. he dismissed the idea that a number of processes still had to be gone through before publication. the minister's response echoes two unsatisfactory explanations that have been aired

agnew runs after watergate, does reagan challenging? >> of course it's a total hypothetical. i would say it would depend on what kind of campaign he ran. if he was going to ron on nixon's third term, i think reagan would have challenged him. if on the other hand he would have broken important ways and adopted some of the things that reagan strongly believed about foreign policy, i think there would have been a possibility that he would have been co-opted. , reagan was aly practical man. bewas not one that wanted to on full's errands. rands.l' er reagan was the adult in the room and he sat everybody down in the end the largest been of the server does is in the republican party. let's work there. why should we try to start some new organization? he was always a practical man, and i think another thing that he would have considered with agnew running essentially a , hed term for nixon could've been a stronger candidate made and reagan could have been. ford,gan takes on announces this. there are a lot of policy differences. he hasn'tinger, developed tax cuts really. social issues

been spending a lot of time in the state as have some powerful surrogates like nina turn and phillip agnewunity. i think a lot of what you saw in 2016 was a matter of name recognition. he was a senator from a small state a lot of people weren't familiar with and seeing enthusiasm in large part because he's a national figure and someone who as i mentioned is leading the way on issues in which black women have said they care about the most including health care. >> what is going to be the bernie sanders we see in the next debate? is it going to be bernie sanders taking on elizabeth warren and buttigieg and biden? or is it going to be the bernie sanders that just preaches his populist message? i'm not being critical saying preaching because i am a preacher. i have appreciation for the art. sk >> i thank think what you're going to see is the bernie sanders who takes on the establishment. yes, it might catch a little bit of heat. the reality is bernie sanders is someone who's always defined himself by his own agenda, not someone who's kind of easily drawn into muck raking or personal assault or

people have used to associate mike agnew had done for nixon or gore would later do a little bit of this for clinton. it was not an attractive role for quayle and not an attractive role for bush to have quayle play. ishink pat oliphant basically calling him on it. danhether one thinks that quayle was underrated, or for the first time tonight, this to me is a brilliant example of the caricatures. we have seen cartoon after cartoon where noses and chains chins and eyes were treated in typical caricature fashion. exaggerated. here we don't even see dan quayle. the impression that he is an infant, and therefore of no significance at all. a character as a form of caricature is really interesting. the baby carriage had that fancy monogrammed initial queue. it is a super fancy baby carriage from a really wealthy family. that is a nice little touch. i forgot to say earlier, the little bubbles, or whatever signifying dan quayle, invisible dan quayle, reminds me of doonesbury at the time. it would only show president bush as skip be the evil twin. he was an asterisk, feather or little bubble. that
