barry goldwater. i think if i were to ask the audience, either here or watching and listening and oh was barry goldwater, thy might have some vague idea of who he was. but he was essential to the conservative movement and to what we call the conservative revolution. matter of fact he sparked the conservative revolution by the most unlikely revolutionary. the grandson of a jewish peddler, who born and poland, his grandfather, made his way to san francisco during the gold rush, that did not pan out so well. and came next door into arizona, made his way down and wound up in phoenix, where he turned his little peddling operation into a leading department store in phoenix. goldwater was a college dropout. he did freshman year, and then that was it. what happened was his father died early, unexpectedly and he had to go back and help to run the business. although he was a college dropout, he wrote a little book called "the conscience of a conservative." 120 some pages. if you have not read it, i counsel you

barry goldwater who spoke very directly and i can remember the first time with the first formal meeting with senator goldwater as director of communication of the comprehensive campaign talking how he had flown food and supplies to the navajos who may have otherwise perished. as a member of the urban league and naacp in phoenix. talking about how he went down the columbia river and that also was dangerous during world war ii. i was two minutes into my presentation when all of a sudden this big hand comes out to say stop. if you try any of that madison avenue craft in my campaign i will throw you out of this office and out of the campaign. is that clear? he was a two star general and i was a corporal and i said yes sir. yes sir. he said this will be a campaign of principles. marvelous. but wrong. wrong. because if we were able to talk about the human side or the nonpolitical side it is possible people would have said he doesn't sound or look like a warmonger to destroy social security, but that is just how barry goldwater was. he would offer a conservative choice not a liberal echo in th

and if you put that side by side but barry goldwater there's no comparison. i've never seen and i won as donald trump does and the public arena and such a high position are it's it's extremely worrisome the way he obsesses on hillary clinton the way he obsesses on the russian investigation the way the tax man our days i mean it is over and over again and it doesn't make sense a lot of it it doesn't appear to be a coordinated political strategy. and he has comparing his button to the size of the north koreans button and that's not the type of talk i want to hear from someone who has the power to end human civilization but the twenty five of the moment as a verb are high bar i think the program approach is to have this discussion to take it seriously not the pope would have psychiatry's involved in the discussion but it doesn't have all robert mueller and actually remove a president under the twenty fifth amendment would require the majority that covered and then it goes to the house in the senate it's very unlikely unless indeed these concerns are demonstrated

that the type barry goldwater flew. was fighter pilot. talk like one and ready to fight and win this campaign. trish: congresswoman mcsauli, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. trish: president trump said he is not racist and never used the s-word to describe haiti. two republican senators in the room say they don't recall the president using those exact words, watch. >> are you saying the president did not use the worldwidely reported? >> i'm telling you he did not use that word. >> i did not hear it and i was sitting no farther away from donald trump than dick durbin was. i know what dick durbin said about the president's repeated statements were incorrect. trish: regardless of what the word he used, does the word itself matter? i know it is not what -- hey, my husband makes fun of me i still spell my swears. i don't approve of that language but in other words, if you say hellhole or you know what hole, is it really that different? one may be more vulgar than the other. to jump from have garrett to actual rac

story that i thought i was telling about in america basically starts with national review and barry goldwater but you can't really understand what donald trump shows us is you can't understand the right in america without going back to some of this. he considered henry ford a role model and the southern segregationist him as kind of a model for what he wanted to accomplish and we have some very fascinating residences involving basically the performance of demagoguery. you mentioned david stephenson would swoop down in the sky with a name on the plane and then you have the imperial wizard who says i've got the biggest brains. [laughter] how do you approach the subject of how this 1920s history as much as we understand the 1950s and 60s history of national review and barry goldwater and ronald reagan is informing newt gingrich and paul ryan how do you see this history as informing our contemporary movement clacks >> i think to answer that i want to start by sort of disaggregating something because there was a lot of difference between the anti-catholicism and its anti-semitism. catholics could

buckley and barry goldwater and others kept their distance from that. - right. - and then, little by little, people running the republican party didn't keep their distance so much and allowed that conspirasism to seep into the mainstream, and by the way, it's not only the right. - well, there's left conspirasism, right? - sure, but it is, the bad consequences of fantasyland that i talk about politically are disproportionately right. - or at least at the moment they are. - exactly. we'll do the sequel in 10 years where the left has gone completely crazy. - it occurs to me that one great example of this or topic of conversation around this would be climate change or climate science. - [kurt] yes, yes. - where it's such false equivalency. 97% of the world believes that this is a thing, or more. 2% doesn't, we have to leave it there. - yeah, teach the controversy. - right, he said, she said. - and again, i didn't really, until i started doing the research for this book, didn't realize to what degree that was from the playbook of cigarette manufacturers. when they wanted a, as long as the

let me explain in 1964, a magazine called "fact" polled health professionals on barry goldwater's fitnesso serve as commander in chief. the magazine published a cover story claiming many found him unfit. after the election, goldwater sued the editor for liable and won.engendered a debate in the mental health community. even if that person is a public figure. eventually this led to the american psychiatric association in 1973 adopting what's been known ever since as the goldwater rule which is says in part it's unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has been conducted an examination and has been granted access for such a statement. for the candidacy of donald trump his behavior left many express frustration for many what they feel as a gag rule. claiming they've seen enough from president trump from his u urterances to describe. and calling on concerns called "dangerous case of donald trump." add this week came news that early in december the book's editor yale university psychiatry professor dr. randy lee met on capitol hill concerned about president

. >> it was spurred by barry goldwater's run for president in 1964, and psychiatrists as a group whoe opposed to and so they made diagnoses about him that were based on psychoanalytic principles which we don't use today. >> 53 years later, yale university psychiatrist dr. lee met with lawmakers and told them president trump is mentally unfit for office. dr. lee says she is nonpartisan it didn't break the goldwater rule but felt compelled to intervene due to present danger for the public. he tweeted: my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. >> i am with him every day. he asks difficult questions of our team at cia so we can provide the information he needs. >> the president's tweets reaffirm the plainspoken truth. a self-made billionaire revolutionized reality tv and taps into something magical happening in the heart of this country. >> the controversy has raised questions about mixing psychiatry with politics. >> there's been studies of psychologist and psychiatrist has a group and they definitely do lean left of center. >> in a country where p

senator and presidential candidate barry goldwater's fitness to serve as commander in chief.he magazine published a cover story claiming that many found him unfit. after the election, goldwater sued the editor for libel and won. this engendered a debate in the mental health community as to the propriety of rendering opinions about an individual they'd never met, much less examined, even if that person is a public figure. this led to the american psychiatric association in 1973 adopting what else' been known ever since as the goldwater rule, which says, in part, "it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement." the rule has been in place and was largely respected for more than 40 years, until the candidacy and election of donald trump. his behavior led many to express frustration at what they feel is a gag rule, claiming that they've seen enough of trump from his public utterances and his tweets to decide. group of 27 mental health professionals went so

in 1964, 1,189 psychiatrists at the behest of "fact" magazine, happily deceased, analyzed barry goldwaterhom i voted cheerfully without ever having met him and diagnosed him schizophrenic, and as, like, hitler in many ways. of course it's an abuse and this yale psychiatrist, who i have a hunch didn't vote for him, and i have a hunch has never met him, to come down here and lecture a receptive audience of gullible democrats to medicalize their political differences. >> this is exactly what republicans are hoping for. right? that democrats, of course, overreach. now, when you look at democratic candidates running in congressional districts that are swing districts or republican leaning, they're not talking about psychiatrists or impeachment. at least at this point. but if what you see is the national democrats pushing this message, republicans go, thank you very much. we're going to take that and run with it. >> and you get pushed -- where are you on this? >> that's a very good point, and also probably the political ramifications. however, if the president is baying at the moon, right? doin

>> he's an old style barry goldwater conservative from arizona.e sees what donald trump is and he's trying to offer an alternative way. whether or not he -- we just heard mitt romney will be running for the senate from utah, which is sort of anti-trump vote in a sense within republican family, and flake may run for president in 2020. he may run as a third party candidate, as a conservative party. he is somebody that's determined not to fade away from the public discourse and wants to be a finger in the eye of the donald trump and it carries some clout because there are two republican parties -- trump supporters and the establishment and blake is seeming to be the bravest of that establishment crowd. >> yeah. that's what i was getting at is what's in this for flake? he's not leaving yet, so he's going to just have this -- i don't know if it's going to be a contentious relationship with his fellow republicans while he works out the rest of his tenure? or what he's doing. >> i suspect it's something -- >> he's a man on a mission. >> what is that miss

same thing to barry goldwater, ronald reagan and even worse to president trump.can agree this policy is. lisa: if you eat cheeseburgers are you like ice cream or chocolate cake that somehow you're unfit to serve in office because some of us don't like to eat healthy. a cheeseburger yesterday. >> clearly cheeseburgers upset people in hollywood as well. director chad alcatel. let's do this. please shut the expletive out for once in your life should be oxblood about. we all need one moment of pc use both self-involved. taken expletive break for a moment. guess that gift. he didn't stop there by the way. lisa: he went on and he said we all should be filling the office or legislator in calling nonstop today the mentally ill president be removed. not doing so puts lives at risk. why didn't we act. draco wonder if the director for drilled for june will be leading the charge. he made a lot of funny movies that you and i have been laughing at, but she put up why you see the exemplar of what should be done to remove. he wants us to remove the president. they sit on their h

the republican chairman of the senate intelligence committee then, barry goldwater, was as outraged as his democratic colleague, senator moynihan. and he too sharply criticized the cia for that. filibusters are commonly mistaken by the press to be howard beal moments. they are not. they are perfectly normal and traditional and very rare uses of the senate rules and procedures to prolong debate. that's all they are. what senator moynihan did in 1984 and what senator feinstein did today was a break with senate norms and traditions. something senator feinstein was loathe to do. in her 25 years in the united states senate, dianne feinstein has mastered the norms and the traditions and the rules of committee procedure and senate procedure and respect for her colleagues. some say she has mastered all of that to a fault to the tune of being too deferral to process and definitions and deferential to her colleagues. i was work when dianne feinstein was first sworn in as a senator. in my experience watching her work as a senator ever since, i could think of no one, and i mean no one on the democ

barry goldwater was already like to be the candidate the kennedy people were competent they could be cold water, so he expected to be in the white house for the full eight years and then almost as not a retirement project, but this would have been kind of 1968, 69 by the time he would have gone, so it would have been his last big book it would've been the age of kennedy, may be multi- volumes, but it becomes something different. it's his memories and written in that kind of heat of the moment with this kind of rivalry with sorensen has be done quickly. >> you describe the physical toll that it takes on arthur. he writes it in a year. >> just over a year and i'm sorry we can say this. he's basically putting the rest of us to shame. he describes how he writes-- she's writing-- 3000 words a day , getting up at 7:00 a.m. finishing at 9:00 p.m. at night and basically he's writing and drinking whiskey and smoking cigars. >> you quoted someone writing that he writes directly to galley. >> john a balloon. >> which means he doesn't need editing. >> john bloom tells his graduate students that

during the barry goldwater years in 1964 there was a rule by the american psychiatric association barringhem from evaluating people in general on mental stability if they haven't evaluated them. so they violate their own ethics. it is dangerous and unethical and beyond the pale for them. >> bill: you wonder how dangerous it is for us overseas, too, mary anne. what do you think of what's going on in the back and forth in the media about the stability of president trump? >> i think what's fair here is katie has a great point. she is right. diagnosis from afar isn't appropriate. we have two examples that we can look at. first and foremost in this book which is up for debate. many people who work with donald trump have expressed their concerns about his well-being. secondly, we also have behavior by trump -- >> bill: who is that, by the way? who has worked for the president that expressed concerns about mental stability? >> you have many people in this book. who -- michael wolff didn't name them but he certainly pointed to steve bannon as one recently and publicly. we have that. on the other

they did it to barry goldwater. they did it to ronald reagan. steve: they did.e: did it to george w. bush and now they are doing to to donald trump. steve: i'm noticing a theme just republicans. ainsley: professor alan dershowitz was on the show yesterday. he didn't vote for him. he said this is the same guy today as he was on the campaign trail. nothing has changed. listen. >> there is only one thing worse than trying to criminalize political differences and that's trying to psychiatriing to accua president being mentally i will without any basis. the it 5th amendment doesn't apply. everybody knew who donald trump was when they elected him. this idea of diagnosing him instead of opposing him politically 30zs an enormous danger. ainsley: you use the word gossip. that's exactly what it is. tabloid news. reading a book of some guy's account who is now bashing the president after he was fired. now he is apologizing and they are using that as the tell-all book. it's like the bible to them. pete: yes. ainsley: it is just gossip. it happens on both sides. every time t

but in watergate there were at least a few howard bakers, there were barry goldwaters, that would step forward and speak truth to power. doesn't it seem to you over the past several months that even the senator from your state, bob corker, that i've got great respect for. he seemed to go a bit mute on this as james fellows at the "atlantic" always brings up, floor speeches are great, but two republican votes needed in the senate. just two republicans with a conscience are needed to say no to this madness. where are two? >> and of course, what creates the courage to do that is either not running for office, or perhaps being sick. and as much as we appreciate their service, that's an interesting point. nobody who is really in the arena right now, who might face voters again, is stepping up to play sam irvin or on the republican side, a goldwater or a hugh scott or howard. it seems to me that something happened in 2016, when trump was you know, we joked about this before, was the first recorded case of a hijacker boarding an airplane and the passengers sided with the hijacker. that contin

republican candidate barry gold water was mentally unstable and since then psychologists for example have stayed away from making any kind of diagnosis about someone. it's called the goldwater the book, because of trump's activities on twitter and his statements doctors are weighing in that at least the physician with the president should take a look at this. >> so let me ask you this. if a health report was negative, if there was something alarming, would we know about it? would it make any difference? >> we wouldn't necessarily know about it, because this will be white house information. i think the more interesting question though that you're raising, if we did know about it, would it make a difference? and we are now in an era where it's not clear that bad news for the white house necessarily translates into bad political news for the president. so i'm sure if there was bad information that was released, negative information about a checkup, there would be ways in which the president and his advisors would spin this and his supporters would see it in a way that fits with the image of the president actually being healthy. so we're in a period where information doesn't al
