given his speech on behalf of barry goldwater in 1964. this is probably his largest tv moment three years later after that. theelling him further on national political stage. he was already known on the national media staging and from hollywood, movies, tv, but this really propelled him to the national stage politically. and bobby kennedy, is famous as he already was being attorney general, this was a big nationally and even international stage for him as well. host: could you imagine something like this today? paul: that is a good question. i cannot imagine who would be. maybe somebody on the likes of marco and ted cruz on the republican side. maybe elizabeth warren on the democratic side. even then, it would not be the same thing because of it was cnn, fox, msnbc, c-span, you would not have the concentrated audience that you have today when there is basically only cbs, nbc. host: thank you for being here on c-span3. her, it was good to be thank you. announcer: c-span, where history unfolds daily. in 1970 nine, c-span was created as a pu

the republicans today are no barry goldwater. they all put their integrity in a blind trust. and jumped on the trump train. >> you don't think they're there yet? >> that was six years in. this is 100 days in. >> democrats have no political power right now. they need it to force the hand of republicans in congress for any kind of special investigation. i think that republicans have to go further down this road before they start jumping ship. >> i want to hear from jeff lord. >> as you gather, i may dissent here. i listen to this and honestly, i love you all. i think you're in a bubble. let me just hold up -- this is from slate. we all know that democrats all wanted jim comey out of that job. here's the headline. harry reid, fbi chief comey covered up, covered up, russian hacking. he should resign. in other words, democrats were making the case that comey should be fired because he was covering up for the russians. and now they're saying suddenly -- >> what about that? is this just hypocrisy by the democrats? >> what senator reid was saying is that comey was very vocal about th

in the 64, johnson's opponent was barry goldwater, the republican senator of arizona, and someone from the far right of the republican party. the mainstream of the republican party in the early 1960's and before was not that far removed from the democrats. certainly there were lots of issues on which they differed, but this general understanding that progress was possible, that expertise was valuable, that you needed big organizations to get -- even though dwight eisenhower warned the american people in his farewell address about the growing military-industrial complex and the scientists who no longer knew how to innovate because they were on a government paycheck -- he surrounded himself with scientists and understood the importance of these large organizations to conduct the business of the united states. republicansts and are part of this broader postwar consensus about what the role of the government does, the importance of people with expertise in charge, and goldwater is someone who comes out of right field. although he was a sitting andtor, he was a politician seasoned and exper

up in a grew republican family and it was only after barry goldwater voted the civil rights act in 1964, in high school, i'm older caller., by the way, i won't id, you know, say i felt like the republican arty turned against african americans, because you had ed brook, senator from massachusetts at that time, you a lot of progressive minded civilicans, as far as the rights front was concerned. the party is very different and democrats are not without fault, either, of but the fact is, i adn't mentioned a party affiliation, i don't think it partisan matter. there are good people in both parties, folks in both parties that i disagree with. important, we start talking about fundamental rights andlike equal shouldn't be talking about party affiliation. various ortunate at times, it didn't start with goldwater, throughout american history we've seen people use race for political racetage or move away from for political advantage, depending one way or the other. aware of this realistically and come together, said, stop the hate, start talking about how we rodney get along, as king said. host:

one that he had with was barry goldwater who was in some ways opposite. but they have this sort of almost locker room tub of conversation relationship. and at one point kennedy was presiding over the senate. it was late in the evening. was about ready to close down for the night. kennedy apparently had a social engagement planned. barry goldwater was on the senate floor just talking and talking and talking. kennedy was getting impatient. apparently he saw that, kept on talking. finally kennedy calls over a page scrawls a note to the page gives it to goldwater. and goldwater looks down and he sees the note. in the did not take too long to read it. very simple. why are you always such a share -- shit? [laughter] this probably had the effect of to the night, but it's sort of showed the jack killer aspect of jfk. a second dimension of want to talk about with kennedy, a domestic policies and other. i sort of like an it to being a student, do your math homework before you go do literature or social studies and history. it was just something that he knew he had

together they petitioned congress and with the help of the national organization for women and barry goldwater, they got this legislation through congress. to conclude, and she probably i deservee ceremony my victory medal and i'm so glad i'm getting it. i deserve it not only for fighting in world war i but for fighting the u.s. army and winning. when i thought about writing this book, this is my seventh book, i thought i would be writing about the past and i thought this was interesting, i have never written a book about women and perhaps now is the time. i thought it was about the past and then i discovered i was writing about the present because in 2016 during a , hillaryial race clinton could have been the first woman president, but that moment in history did not happen. 2016 was happened in it that the army decided women who served in world war ii could no longer be buried at arlington. these are the same women they got on the world war i bill in congress. the world war ii women, there were still a couple left and last year the family of one wonder to bury her at arlington and they said t

the other includes barry goldwater. >> watch the entire program on former kentucky senator wendell ford this evening at 5:00 p.m. eastern on c-span 3. c-span -- where history unfolds daily. in 1979, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable television companies and is brought to you today by your cable or satellite provider. join us tuesday morning as we head to the heart of appalachia's coal country or -- at awashington journal" coal plant to talk about coal. our guest include the president of murray energy corporation. representative bill johnson. vivienne stockman. and nick mullins. watch live at 7:00 a.m. eastern on c-span. julia: we are standing in front of the turtle bay exploration park and museum in redding, california. come inside as we look at an event -- exhibit that shares the agricultural history of the region. i think it is really important for us to remember that agriculture is one of the backbones of california. even in far northern california, where it is mountainous and the trained does not really lend itself to a lot of big ag. it does lend itself to p

barry goldwater was the republican presidential nominee before richard nixon. the president who fired cox. the aba held an emergency meeting to condemn the action. aflcio condemned it and called for impeachment. not saying we're anywhere near that today, but i'm saying president trump has i think absorbed the lesson that republicans and congress are willing to accept almost any infringement on traditional checks and pbalances because thy view them on the political project with them. they want to decide the legislation. he has signalled his direction he will fire sally yates and the district attorney. people investigating people in his orbit. the real question is is there push back? without it, you can bet this is not the last time we have seen some of the traditional boundaries. >> jason, what would be push back? we hear talk of special prosecutor. first of all, we don't know what there is to prosecute. there is not a criminal investigation going on to harness. there doesn't seem to be bipartisan approval. you have blumenthal saying this may be grounds for impe

the others are democrat george smathers and republican barry goldwater. a lot of people may not realize what the dscc is. it's a nongovernmental political organization that works at the national level that helps elect democrats of the u.s. senate. the national republican senatorial committee works to elect republicans to the u.s. senate. the house has two party campaign committees of its own that perform the same function. play anmmittees important role in which party retains control of the senate or the house. chairing the party campaign committee can also help lawmakers move up the leadership ladder. that certainly was the case for wendell. during his six years as chairman, ford wracked up chips with democratic colleagues. he chairedis tender, the senate rules committee from 1986-19 94, the body that considers changes to the way the senate governs itself. by 1988, ford had gained sufficient stature to run for party whip. that year he successfully, unsuccessfully challenge the incumbent alan cranston of california. was in1990, cranston poor health, mired

together, they petitioned congress, and with the help of the national organization of women and barry goldwaterwho are usually not in the same sentence, they got this legislation through congress. to conclude, she said at the ceremony which i could show you next, she said, i deserve my victory medal. i deserve it not just for serving in world war i, but for fighting the army for 60 years and winning. when i thought about writing this book -- it is my seventh book. i thought i would be writing about the past. i thought, this is interesting, i have never written a book about women. as i said, i thought it was about the past. then i discovered i was actually writing about the present. 2016 during a presidential race that could have elected the first woman president. she was not elected. that moment in history did not happen. what also happened in 2016 is womenhe army decided serving in world war ii could no longer be buried in arlington. two groups of women had not been honored. the women from world war i are all gone. but world war ii, there are still a couple left. the family of one wanted to bu

. >> when we think about reagan and the republican party, conservatism, i go back to barry goldwater, 64, reagan's famous speech. for the sake of this audience before we take him into the wilderness where you take him here, explain to us how this happens. one of the greatest differences between reagan and trump is reagan had a strong political history before he challenges the party establishment. >> he had a lot of executives experiences head of the screen actors guild. couple years ago, reagan negotiated residuals which became important to a lot of retired actors and actresses still getting tice -- residuals from tv and movies years ago because the studios would pay the actors and actresses one time to appear on tv or movie or something like that and they could broadcast and pocket the royalties with impunity. reagan as president of the screen actors guild negotiated residuals so they -- their images and voice was not sold without compensation. reagan was the one that did it. fred barnes a couple years ago, those washington movies, little role, dave was telling me about it, the movie

barry goldwater took a walk in 1974 and changed the course of history. clearly, i'm a lone voice in this regard, but i think that's where we're going. >> bott was something people weren't paying attention to. it started the whole asia ben tigers issue. right now, this is top of the newspaper every day, more or less. it's not something that's hidden in the weeds. it's right after how the market back until long-term cap a tall crushed aand the fed intervened. >> we can do analogs all day. >> if you don't think 2400 is a significant number the s&p 500, i just call attention to the right bottom part of the screen. it's gotten there, but seems to be ab rehen sieve. let's bring in two more voices. joe, john, fwojoining us live f san francisco. they are at the apex conference. joey, i'll go to you first. this line in the sand and where you think we can go from here, what could get us there. >> i'm little amazing. let's talk about the resiliency in the marketplace. i, amongst other, short-term money, have tried to downside. i tried it last week. the moment of op

barry goldwater, people they won't know, all these great folks and then in the house, those that served on world war ii that were amazing people, conservative democrats that i know and loved. hyou remember the secretary of defense, he was a brilliant thinker. and it is the time when republicans and democrats there was no difference because we were all out to defeat accompanists. then i did the budget and i understood the pentagon reform and the whole thing. it was kind of an iconoclast because i was one of the people that found the hammers and screwdrivers and said we should reform the pentagon likely reform the welfare system. then i worked with a very liberal democrat to reduce the procurement of the bomber which i thought we didn't really need in the middle of a nuclear war and his job was to fly in the soviet union and drop into the war. we don't need as many of the planes to do that so i wanted to build a standoff weapons and the limited production and that carried over to my work on the budget committee. there was an incident i wanted to come and control the growth of pentagon spe

barry goldwater and three pillars of the republican party went to the white house and richard nixon andaid we can't support you. he announced the resignation the next day. when i visited paul in the white house. he said as long as the democrats are with us and richard gephardt, the democratic leader in the house at the time was with us, we'll be fine. democrats stuck with clinton. the political question is will the republicans stay with trump? so far they have. we're in the middle of it. >> there is nothing dire. those were crisis points where it was existential. this is about checking in more and demanding better and interfacing with the white house and calling out. it is not about abandoning the president. i don't think anybody is expecting the republicans to run away from trump and say he should resign. it is about get in the game and own the accountability. be the check and balance you are supposed to be. >> there are levels. you have to figure out did he threaten the fbi director? did he tamper the investigation and say call off the flynn investigation. you have to deal with all of

. -- landslide victory over barry goldwater. he did not want to seem weak. there are new tapes coming out. the kennedy libraries are still bringing out new tapes dealing with vietnam. i think it is a story that will evolve. i am curious to see how can burn -- how ken burns deals with it in his vietnam war series. he was in a piece mode at the time. he was meeting with khrushchev privately and asking how we can get global peace. to do a one offer in vietnam he was trying to do this grand -- he had put forward not testing nuclear weapons in the atmosphere. susan: let's talk about russia. we referenced the cuban missile crisis which framed the early part of his presidency and here we are worried about the u.s.-russian relationship again. what can you say about the approach the kennedy administration took towards the russians? stephen: i think what is interesting about the speeches and history, what is interesting about kennedy as the presidency goes on he learns from his mistakes. he starts off as a fervent cold warrior. he comes to the edge of the nuclear abys

there used to be a couple of people, barry goldwater, like that's a really nice idea but they can't affordthat. there's no way we can afford that. i hundred 10% we still wouldn't be able to afford it. there were some of those characters like their whole purpose was to say wow, stop that already, it was not at least be concerned that made the military-industrial complex beach. i want to ask you for ten about a number of people in the book that are in different roles. you've written about lindsey graham whose strategy was to have been tricked into thinking they were voting for america's first transgender president. [laughter] >> actually, that didn't work. >> support for the candidacy was limited to lindsey graham. so i wanted to ask you now you've taken on a different role as a big voice. >> much better. the guy that i appreciate is john mccain. i flew out on a plane. on the big stick as they call it a couple hundred miles and virgin and the seas were so high about 60 feet or something along the water line and spray was coming over that is how big they were. only a crazy person would do thi

and i can't there won't be some others who will rise as barry goldwater and others did during watergated come out of this looking good because they went to conscious and principles over partisanship and loyalty. >> the top of their ticket goes into the weekend at 38% pop layer. charlie sykes, jonathan alter, gentlemen, our thanks for appearing with us. >>> coming up after thebreak on the week len rehessinger is invited to the oval office, they might be looking for micro phones in the oval office. back with more after this. if you want to stay on top of your health, one simple thing to do -- is take the pledge to go and get screened for the cancers that might affect you. so stand up to cancer and take the pledge at getscreenednow.org it only takes a minute to take care of yourself, and nothing rhymes with "org"... >>> programs regularly scheduled for this time will not be seen today in order that we might bring you the following nbc news special report. watergate, senate hearings. >> romantic titles back then. that was july 16, 1973, very important day in american presidential history, i

political strategy for them, and i can't believe there won't be some others who will rise as barry goldwater and others did during watergate and come out of this looking good because they went to conscience and principles. >> by all accounts. charlie sykes, charlie alter, thanks for appearing with us on a friday night. coming up after another break, on the very week trump invites henry kissinger to the oval office, he finds himself being compared to richard nixon. and now visitors to the oval might be looking for microphones. we're back with more right after this. on september 9, 2010, pg&e learned a tragic lesson we can never forget. this gas pipeline ruptured in san bruno. the explosion and fire killed eight people. pg&e was convicted of six felony charges including five violations of the u.s. pipeline safety act and obstructing an ntsb investigation. pg&e was fined, placed under an outside monitor, given five years of probation, and required to perform 10,000 hours of community service. we are deeply sorry. we failed our customers in san bruno. while an apology alone will never be enough,

barry goldwater, these young people won't know them, gary hart, sam nunn, all these great us in the house, folks that served in world war ii were amazing people, conservative democrats that i loved. and it was the time when republicans and democrats there was no difference because we were all out to defeat the communist and we did. then you had the other side of it when you did the budget. then i understood the pentagon reform and i was kind of an iconoclast because we found the hammers and screwdrivers and wrenches that cost tens of thousands of dollars in the welfare system. you were not supposed to say that, then i worked with ron dallas who was a liberal democrat to reduce the procurement in the middle of a nuclear war and dropped bombs in the middle of a war. i said we don't need many of those planes that do that and so i wanted to build standoff weapons. that was a big fight so we got word reduction to the committee. there was an incident i wanted to come and control the growth of the pentagon spending and i was in a meeting with the leadership when someone accused me of being a tra

after richard nixon fired archibald cox in 1973 you had barry goldwater the immediate predecessor as the republican presidential nominee condemning him. we have a more polarized politics and the republican leadership and rank and file for the most part almost entirely on capitol hill are basically saying we are part of a common enterprise with president trump. most of our voters still support him and therefore they have unwilling to defend the checks and balances that james clapper talked about. i would say there is still political risk in this, though, because if you look at 2018, i think by far the biggest risk to republicans is that those voters who are ambivalent at best about trump will view them as too compliant and not exercising sufficient checks and balances on him, and so this course, which they believe is safe for now, ultimately i think could be riskier if they are seen as not providing meaningful oversight. >> it's easier in watergate, that was a real crime. this was a legislative endowed and created prosecutor. you don't have that here. comey was not popular with democr

in 1964, barry goldwater running for president, a magazine published an article which are number of psychiatristsaid that he was a psychologically ue president. after the election, goldwater sues for libel and wins. something called the goldwater rule emerges in the psychiatric perfection, which is, you don't pronounce on the mental connection of a person you have not examined. >> tucker: [laughs] go to call. >> that goldwater role stays in effect for 50 years until now. and now, you are seeing psychiatrists, psychologists all over the place, talking about donald trump. this is from an article in the new yorker just recently, said, with regard to trump, however, the goldwater role has been broken repeatedly, more than 50,000 mental health professionals have signed a petition stating that trump is "too seriously mentally ill to perform the duties of president." >> tucker: there is something about this president that brings out the worst in his enemies. here's the the fundamental question, though. is not simply a matter of being blinded to trump and hating so trump that you can't cover him fairly,

whether it was barry goldwater, hugh scott and john rhoads on august 7, 1974, going to the white house and saying you have to go, that kind of patriotism as opposed to partisanship has not been evident at all. >> are you saying necessary today the republicans should go to trump -- >> to resign, no. i'm just saying. but just to say this is wrong and you have to respect the law. i'm not saying he has to resign or be impeached. i'm saying that the propriety of firing comey was so obviously wrong that it seems like it's more than incumbent upon republicans to recognize it. >> and these gop leaders are mostly not on television. they are avoiding interviews. one last question for you, carl. i was rewatching "all the presidents men" with my wife. >> what a great movie. can we discuss it? i'm sorry. >> you have ben bradley's character at the end of the film says to you and bob on the lawn, half the country has never heard of watergate. nobody cares about this. of course for another year or two you keep working on the story. is there something similar happening right now? many americans are tun

heading into the election, even though it looked like he was going to have a landslide victory over barry goldwater. he did not want to seem weak. you have the assassination of -- and there are new tapes coming out. the kennedy libraries are still bringing out new tapes dealing with vietnam. i think it is a story that will evolve. i am personally curious to see how ken burns deals with it in his vietnam war series. i have a feeling it is going to be one of constant debate. the evidence of why he would not have gone into vietnam, he was in a real peace mode at the time. he was meeting with khrushchev privately and asking how we can be the generation that brings global peace. to do a one off in vietnam while he was trying to do this grand -- he had put forward not testing nuclear weapons in the atmosphere. that is sort of the mode he was in at the time of his death. we will never know. susan: let's talk about russia. we referenced the cuban missile crisis, which framed the early part of his presidency and here we are worried about the u.s.-russian relationship again. what can you say about the approa

second, i remember the gross abuse of psychiatry when my man barry goldwater, the man who i cast my firstte was running for president in 1964, and a whole slew of psychiatrists diagnosed him from a distance of having all kinds of authoritarian and other disagreeable behaviors and tendencies. i didn't want to engage in that. i'm just going by the evidence that the president continues to put in front of us in torrential amounts. >> and your recommendation at the close of your column is, quote, for the public to quarantine this presidency. how can the public do that? >> well, the public has to communicate to their elected representatives that the elected representatives have more to fear from the public from their constituents than they do from mr. trump. that is the public has to say we have taken this man's measure and we find him alarming and we want you to be on our side, the side of our alarm and our rational fear rather than the normal tendency to defer to presidents on important matter, particularly war and peace. it's one thing for him to wander around and say my gosh, who knew healt

conference and they petitioned congress and with the help of the national organization for women and barry goldwater, who are not usually in the same sentence, they got this legislation through congress. so to conclude, and she, by the way, she said, at the ceremony, which i can show you next, she said, i deserve my victory medal and i'm so glad i'm getting it. and i deserve it not only for serving in world war i but for fighting the u.s. army for 60 years and winning. so, when i thought about writing this book, you know, this is my seventh book and so you're always scratching around, what is going to be your next book, and i thought that i'd be writing really about the past. and i thought, well, this is interesting. i've never written a book about women and maybe now's the time. and as i said, i thought it was about the past, and then i discovered that i was actually writing about the present. because in 2016, during a presidential race that could have elected the first woman president, she was not elected but, you know, instead, history -- that moment in history did not happen, but what i also hap

share this one quote by the republican barry goldwater who would probably be seen as the most extremeeligious of candidates and he said "-- this was given to me and i looked it up from facebook. "mark my words. if and when these preachers get ,ontrol of the republican party and they are sure trying to do so, it is going to be a terrible problem. frankly, these people frighten me. politics and governing demand compromise. these christians believe they are acting in the name of god so they can't and won't compromise. i know, i have tried to deal with them." that hits the nail on the head if i can make a final point, my mother was born in occupied ireland. out of 10,000 catholics, when i went there in 1960 83 months ,fter dr. king was assassinated they couldn't vote. catholics were not allowed to have property. steve: in ireland? caller: yes, this was 1968. only eight could vote. my whole life, my mother had to get an order of protection. what we need to do is realize our human rights are not from a king or queen or hope or rabbi or even the mother or father. they start from, out of our

craig, when we think about reagan and the republican party, conservativism, i think i go back to barry goldwater -- >> sure. >> to '64. >> right. >> to reagan's famous speech. >> right. >> so for the sake of this audience before we take them into the wilderness which is where you take him here, explain to us howe he comes to be. because one of the great distinctions between reagan and trump is that reagan has a strong political history -- >> [inaudible] >> before he challenges the party establishment.t. >> that's right. well, he's already had a lot of executive experience as head of the screen actors guild. you know, a couple years ago reagan negotiated residuals which became important to a lot of old, retired actors and actresses who were out of work who were still getting stipend and residuals from the work they have done in tv and movies years ago. because the studios would pay, previous system was the studio would pay the actors and actresses one time to appear be, and then they could rebroadcast it and pocket all the royalties with impunity. reagan, in his last term as president of the scre

in the republican party, who objected very strenuously, not only elliott richardson, but even barry goldwaterhe republican nominee immediately before richard nixon raised complaints as did cio which remained neutral unanimously improved a resolution calling for impeachment. we're not talking about anything of that magnitude here yet but we are looking at a republican party that is behaving very differently, is circling the wagons, and saying we are part of a common political project and focusing more on where their agenda overlaps than on defending the institutions of checks and balances that electric at the underpinning of our drems. >> why are the republicans so reluctant to make that call for a special prosecutor? >> they're looking more and more uncomfortable as they sit there and continue to support the president of the united states specifically with regards to how he fired director comey calling him a showboater. these are not descriptions that the republicans feel comfortable hearing about a man who for every intents and purpose was described as very honorable. we expect to hear from

say the heroes of watergate we think about that famous moment at the very end of the story when barry goldwatertt, john rhodes. >> exactly and said mr. president you don't have the votes to survive in the senate it's over. but it's important to remember that's the end of the story and it was a long road to get there and in the beginning you had a lot of republicans who were defenders of the president and who were actuallgoing out there and saying this watergate story i really nothing, it's an invention of the liberal media and big lions in the republican party. they said watergate was a basically what we would today call fake news. so it's hard at this stage almost too see who the heroes might be because it takes time with the revelation about what the president knew and when did he know it, the fame mouse howard baker line for republicans to see them moved more by their conscious than the political concerns at the moment. >> hugh you're a patriot, you care about your party and the country. who are you looking to in the republican party? >> well, right now i'm waiting for people to exercise jud

after after, it was barry goldwater who told nixon to his face, i'm not going to damage my reputation for you. we need to see more profiles encouraged coming out to of the republican party right now. >> yes, there has been so much dissembling, so much prevarication out of the white house that it is easy to call it into question. on its face, the timing doesn't make sense. if you are upset about the clinton investigation, you would have done it at jump. you had every reason to do it. everybody would have expected you to do it. and by the way, he is an obama appointee. the timing. take us through here. the guy has been on the job two weeks. that's right. he's only been there two weeks. the inspector general is doing the same investigation. you don't wait for it. you have no one lined up to take the job. >> and i think the dates on the memos are significant. you know, everything is dated yesterday. so according to kellyanne ckocoy yesterday, the president made a considered judgment based on the conclusion of rod rosen stein. rod rosen stein sent him a memo yesterday. >> that's right. >>

and i can't there won't be some others who will rise as barry goldwater and others did during watergate good because they went to conscious and principles over partisanship and loyalty. >> the top of their ticket goes into the weekend at 38% pop layer. charlie sykes, joon than alter, he j our thanks for appearing with us. >>> coming up after thebreak on the week len rehessinger is invited to the oval office, they might be looking for micro phones in the oval office. back with more after this. together, we are perfectly balanced, our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say: if you love something... set it free. see you around, giulia ♪ it can seem like triggers pop up everywhere. luckily there's powerful, 24-hour, non-drowsy claritin. it provides relief of symptoms that can be triggered by over 200 different allergens. live claritin clear. i count on my dell small for tech advice. with one phone call, i get products that suit my needs and i get back to business. ♪ ♪ prone jar shatterst livthe competition.pe? olay regenerist hydrates skin better than cr

here's what matters with nixon, just so you know it was when barry goldwater broke.'m not talking about mccain and lindsey. they hate him. but i'm saying that the focus has to be on the idea that this is how you sold amazon. you have to recognize that if you're going to adopt the buffett attitude you'll run through this and if you adopt an attitude of we all are talking about comey. you're going to sell. and what i'm trying to do is say listen, there's never anything wrong with taking a little gain. because this is not the first day we hear the word impeachment. but i think when you go back and you read those articles it's like oh, god, i sold my amazon, why did i sell it? well, because there was an impeachment vote for clinton. that was 1997. but there was always something. there was a war. there was something that made us feel like you know what, i cannot own amazon. >> so nothing matters? >> no, some stories to use the verb trump what happened. >> right. >> i'm not trying to say to someone, listen, if you have a 300 point gain in amazon you shouldn't take some. re

one of them was barry goldwater.e went down and met with president nixon and he said, there are only so many lies you can take, and now there's been one too many. hugh scott of pennsylvania joined him, another republican; john rhodes, from the house. they made it clear to president nixon that what he had done was unacceptable and would no longer stand by him. it took courage to do that, the president saw the writing on the wall and resigned. we're looking for similar leadership today from both sides of the aisle, not just democrats but republicans as well, to stand up and defend our democracy from putin's interference. it's been months of relative inaction. it's clear the president is not going to stand up to russia. it's time for all of us, democrats and republicans in congress, to act for the good of this nation, get to the truth of what happened and make sure russia can never do this to our democracy again. mr. president, i ask consent that the statement i am about to make be placed in a separate part in the recor

that same month, republican senator barry goldwater said, there are only so man lies i can take and now there has been one too many. at the same time goldwater was nominated to deliver a direct message to president nixon. goldwater, along with senate republican leader hugh scott, went to the white house, sat directly in front of president nixon's desk, and explained that enough was enough. mr. president, these courageous republicans were, of course, talking about lies, corruption, or instruction of justice and danger to our democratic system of government emanating from the nixon white house. they took our oath of office to protect the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and certainly above a party or short-term policy gain, they took it seriously. and to their courage, we in history owe them a debt of gratitude. so i ask today, amid a swirling of a deeply troubling mix of lies, nearly 500 in the first 100 days of this new presidency, obfuscation, withholding of information, attempts to interfere with federal investigations regarding possible collusion with a foreign a

barry goldwater walked down to the white house and told richard nixon this is over.publican that steps out and goes down to the white house and says, you either start putting people around you that control your worst impulses, or we're going to make your life a living and breathing hell on the other side of pennsylvania avenue, and we will constrain you ourselves. and we will take the chance next year when we run for re-election and explain that we stood up to a lifelong democrat that had a hostile takeover through the republican party because our commander in chief was divulging secrets to our biggest enemy across the globe, putting people's lives at risk, putting our national security at risk, and firing fbi directors that started to expand investigations into russia. why can't they do that? >> think about what you're protecting, republicans right now, by standing with donald trump on this. this is not politics, this is not to piss off the left. this is protecting a president leaking classified information to as you said, our greatest enemy. after you spent a year

. >> barry gold waert would be an interesting reference considering it was barry go goldwater who wenttant to defend any specific principal or defend a trump action as opposed to having liberals heads explode or sarah palin said. exploded heads keep exploding. >> it's a calculation charlie that they know that they're base, what's red meat. they know they're niche markets. conservative commentators and also the niche markets that jerry republicans and jerry misunderstandered sees. they want red meat. it's much more dangerous for hem though break with trump. talking about the republicans. the level of intimidation is incredible on the right. the safe space is to not defend trump, but to attack the media. attack hypocrite cal democrats. attack over the top liberals or play the game of what about. what about obama, what about hillary. that formula has worked so far. >> its niche marketing. >> yes. >> very few people like charlie or goldburg who writes this. the smart every mind honorable response from the conservatives to all of this should be the jerry ma gunfire response. conservatives s
