that year the republican nomination went to the senator from arizona, senator barry goldwater. but the mere fact that so many people thought so highly of this lady was quite significant that they wanted her to run for president. for a lady, for a lady in 1964, and the fact she was from maine gives us here in maine a great deal of pride in that lady. this is a portrait of a gentleman named thomas bracket reed. a congressman from maine served in the us house of representatives in the late 1800s. several terms as speaker of house of representatives. was an extremely powerful speaker earning himself the tit title czar reed. many of the rules he instituted as speaker of the house are still instituted today. i especially like congressman bracket for his wit. he was once asked would he attend a funeral of a political rival. he said, no, but i do approve of it. another time he was asked if he thought his party might nominate him for president. the republican party. he said they could certainly do worse and very likely they will. and finally a fellow congressman at one point very pompou

we have been told that ronald reagan little more than barry goldwater with a winning personality, mans a did identity to the overthrow of the new deal as was goldwater and the libertarians. nothing could be further from the case. from this earliest days of the conservative ronald reagan exhibit identify debt to the core innovations of the new deal in the sense that government, at local and state level if necessary but at a federal level if necessary, should ensure that americans have a hand up in the american police officer and that everybody has -- the american life and everyone has a chance to live a life of their own choosing even it requires assistance. and then i explain why it is republicans have lost their way and how it is that in a very odd sense donald j. trump has recaptured some, not anywhere all but some of the original reagan insight and consequently no surprise that ronald reagan and donald trump are the only two people who with republican nominees in the last 24040 years to win dramatically among whites without a college degree and in the midwest and winning the states

>> well, what i do in the book, borrowed from barry goldwater's tome in 1960, he thought that the party had kind of given in to the new deal and felt that he ought to put a blueprint forward for conservativism. i think today conservativism has kind of been compromised by populism, and people might say, well, we have the house, we have the senate, we have the white house, republicans do, but not long ago we had that in 2006, and we lost it because i don't think we acted very conservative are with all the spending and everything else that went on. so i think that just because we have the house and senate and the white house we can't rest easy and we can't say that populism is a governing philosophy because i don't believe that it is. >> what -- i am curious, what motivated you to write this book? donald trump's character or this issue with conservativism that you're just making the argument and others have made to me before that actuallies go back 20 years? >> well, i started writing this book before donald trump became president. but i am concerned at the direction that the party's going

when a president's own party, yeah, at the final day of his presidency, richard nixon had barry goldwater and others come. that was the last day. that was during watergate. we have never seen this. >> no one is calling for anyone to resign. >> right. >> this is not a dispute about taxes or trade or issues. this is about his very capacity to hold the office, his stability, his competence and moral authority from as you guys pointed out two senators who represent states that donald trump won evoverwhelmingly and t hot heads. these are very serious deliberate people. >> but, paul, with all of that, you say, take a look at these numbers that imka out from cbs. a majority of americans did not like the president's response to charlottesville, but republicans, they did ov overwhelmingly approve of the president's response. >> which means what we've seen from senators, the rarest thing in washington, political courage. tim scott is not up for re-election. an african-american republican from south carolina, that guy has talent. >> i'm sure your endorsement helps him a lot. >> he's golden, right? s

and republicans have to decide, are you going to go with principled conservatives in the barry goldwater mold or trump and donald trumpism. >> they'll go with donald trump. >> do you find yourself in a weird position of rooting for conservative republicans like jeff flake and john mccain if for no other reason that they represent a more principled stand on some of these questions in american lives? >> i feel it's a ferrer fight when you're fighting real conservativism. what we have with donald trump is not that. i think tonight in phoenix will be like the church revival only not with the offering plate. the president will show up, and he feeds off of the crowd. and it is going to take him into another zone. i appreciate the distinction of the teleprompter trump versus the one that we get in realtime. i think that's the real donald trump. >> you get the back lash, when he is controlled and says something he doesn't really want to say. the next day he goes on the trump binge. >> let me give kimberly the last word on that. you were together for the extraordinary live event one week ago toda

the new york herald tribune and hea and he'dn an editorial that endorsed lyndon johnson over barry goldwater and he had to speechwriters with the most remarkable staff ever. i think that we were in all of them for their talents but pat began his remarkable career with nixon in 65 and he became the campaign aide and chronicled this remarkable period he worked with nixon from 1965 to 1968 when he worked with richard nixon during this comeback. a where richard nixon rose to become president of the united states. in the white house, pat wasn't only the conservative conscience but strategist for the preside president. no other was able to capture the unique forces shaping america in the 60s and 70s as pat. more importantly in terms because he had spent that time in such close contact with you will find in this book is a roadmap of the great battle with the american left and the media and if you were there when we were there it is a true insight into the years we were there and it was all done in the grips of the social unrest and the vietnam war and frankly the records left behind by jack kennedy

i do not know why he would try to provoke this guy, unless as a barry goldwater once said, i would tradeon so i can wipe the main enemy out. >> trish: that is an interesting way to look at it, i guess. maybe it is as simple as you threaten me, i will threaten you, and maybe you should listen to our threats, because guess what? we have a way bigger military than you guys. >> you can dial this guy with a phone call to the president of china. >> trish: you may have more faith in china and then some. we will see whether or not they enforce the sanctions. it's good that they signed up for them, but whether they go and enforce them. >> you see the little people suffer. >> trish: is so great to see you, judge. thank you so much for watching. the "specialists" is next. experience unparalleled luxury at the lexus golden opportunity sales event before it ends. choose from the is turbo, es 350 or nx turbo for $299 a month for 36 months if you lease now. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. >> kat: everyone, everyone i'm kat timpf along with eboni williams and brian kilmeade. this is the "the sp

you can go through election after election, barry goldwater and the psychiatrist who said he was unstable. these things are said in hot political campaigns. i'm a first amendment fundamentalist. i'm a little concerned about the trump administration looking into reporters, et cetera, with this. i'm all for clamping down on leaks, but not the reporters. i just think you've got to let this flow. and if foreigners are going to do that, that's fine. it's a different thing if they have high tech access to ballot boxes, that's a different thing. >> molly, where do you see this? >> the issue is foreign propaganda, which is different than the kind of speech you're talking about, that the libel laws apply to, and we do have laws about foreign propaganda and procedures to shield the united states from that propaganda, going back to the days of german propaganda. that is the issue. and has been said here, this is the 21st century threat and version of this, that clearly the white house had a very hard time figuring out how to deal with. and to your question, i do think there was an helicopter for the
