. - rockefeller has people secretly recording and transcribing every utterance that barry goldwater makeshim saying something crazy. narrator: while rockefeller and goldwater slug it out on the campaign trail, lyndon johnson is fighting to push his civil rights bill through the senate. - he's one of the most machiavellian players in american politics, who basically will do anything to cut a deal, to get a deal, to get where he's trying to go. narrator: along the corridors of power, lbj is rallying support for his bill. - as a politician, he's brilliant. we talk about the johnson treatment. lyndon johnson is 6'4", and he can cajole. he can seduce. he c can also inintimidate. nanarrator: onon july 2, 1 , lbj walklks into thehe east m of the whihite house anand transfororms the livs ofof millions s of americac. - i am abobout to signgn into w the e civil righghts act of f . - ththis is a titime when e everybody's's watching television to watch a president sign a bill. every network is covering it. this is a moon shot moment. - the symbolism of the moment, a southern white democrat president

is a vote against barry goldwater. it's not always a vote for lyndon. and so this front that that johnson's people are helping to manufacture or to kind of spread message that that barry goldwater is a kook suggests that in the end when people did vote for lbj in those extruded and airy numbers the 61% popular vote and the amazing majorities 295 in the house. and it's just it's not necessarily in support of what johnson wants to do going whole hog on a society it's also a of barry goldwater so that when you get into 65 and then 66 and the backlash really starts to come, although it's you know, it's there. as julie mentioned previously, you know, there's a reason for that because in some ways johnson's extraordinary success is a little bit of an anomaly. it's it's his ability to marshal those forces to you don't want the other. and that's also why johnson is concerned when he does win i mean he's morose almost on election night he's he's always fearing bobby kennedy course and that's that's out there because bobby wins

barry goldwater and bill buckley and falwell. at the national level longer than everybody except for doctor lee edwards so he's a dear friend i've known since 1961 and he called me on l the phone one day and said i'm having lunch with a young conservative. so we had lunch at the hotel and saw it went so well we invited him back into ten days later just he and i and he said i spoke magic words to him that i want him to come work with me and help me build the conservative movement and he said atng that point i gave hima little pay increase, but anyway after some years he left and ended up working for ronald reagan in the white house and then after that he left and started something called the leadership institute and almost no organization i can think of that's more important than the leadership institute the trains well over a quarter of a million young people, many governors, senators,ro congressmen, legislators over the years. right now as we speak, i'm chairman of the company and they are in jerusalem with other national conser

host: so what should we all know about barry goldwater?ty: [laughs] most people think of barry goldwater as the 1964 presidential candidate, when he lost the election to lyndon johnson that year. at the time, he was sort of the father of modern conservatism and he was portrayed as a radical conservative, which he was in many ways, but he also was very much a statesman. he was a senator at heart. after his election, he returned to the senate and lived most of the rest of his life as senator, he died not that long after he left office. but in the senate he was a different kind of character than the presidential candidate, very down-to-earth, much beloved in the senate. in became rather an elder statement by the 1970's and 1980's -- elder statesman. he was held in high esteem. but he had quirky part of personality. he was a big champion of ham radio, independent amateur radio . everywhere he went he would take his hand radio set with him, he actually built a radio studio in the russell senate office building so that he could go down to that s

that i didn't have that i needed, and that was names and addresses and i was able to get 12,500 barry goldwaterlars plus donors. and that changed everything. and so by the end of that first year, when i started my company, 1965, i had 100,000 republic and goldwater donors, and now we're well past million donors. and activists, conservative movement. and i recognized early on that was the business i was in. i wasn't in fundraising too much or marketing i in the name acquisition business. mark zuckerberg figured that out too. mr. viguerie have you gotten rich in your business? i have not. as a matter of fact, i'm very comfortable. but to this day, my team will testify under that, i put everything possible back into the company. i'm a at every fiber. every fiber of my being as i said earlier the definition of an entrepreneur anything that is a risk-taker so in this state everything i haveha available bk in the company. the reason i do that is 1965 i started the company in january and i went to organizations and let's do a test and find out. we 1 dollar now you spend a dollar and 50 cents and theac

barry goldwater and bill buckley and brant senior and falwell robertson recently all did you know so i'm a i'm an active at the national level longer than everybody except dr. lee edwards. so lee is a dear friend i've known since 1961. and he calls me on the phone one day and says, let's have lunch with this young conservative of you need to know him. he doesn't know you. you don't know him. so we had nice lunch at the mayflower and so i liked the lunch money. so well invited. morton back ten days later for another lunch as he and i. and at the end the lunch, morton said, i spoke magic words to it and the magic words i spoke to him. i said, morton, i want you to come work with and help me build the movement. and he said at that he would taking a pay cut. i gave him a little pay increase. but anyway after some years he left and they ended up working for ronald reagan in the white house. and then that he left and started something the leadership institute and it's in there almost no i can think of as more important the conservative movement didn't leadership institute they've trained w

as much as they use all of the cards, they called barry goldwater hitler, they called ronald reagan hitlerey called george w. bush hitler. now they call donald trump hitler. but the real ones in the world they don't call hitler, they don't call president xi hitler or putin hitler or the iran hitler or the head of hamas or hezbollah hitler it's only conservatives and republicans were hitler. it's pretty sick. for the holocaust survivors on behalf of the nation, our nation i want to apologize to you, the way the democrat party in the media throw around the word hitler. when you look at your arms and you see burned numbers into your flesh and you know who hitler was in to watch the likes of msnbc and cnn at the pages of the new york times or the washington post around hitler like it's no big deal is pretty sick. but they will stoop to anything and everything for power. so there is joe biden. he is giving a speech at valley forge, he was going to give it on january 6 but in climate whether they decided they would move it to january 6. no george washington we know what took place at valley forg

i'm not going to vote for a philosophy i have opposed since i first supported barry goldwater for president in 1964. >> he would be delighted to vote for nikki haley? >> i would vote for her. i would have voted for any republican other than donald trump and vivek ramaswamy in this last go around. >> thank you so much. >>> as congress fights over a potential border deal, cities across the usr reaching breaking points, begging for more help to deal with surgeon the migrants. why this could now lead to services such as firefighters being cut. that is next. you may know adam schiff's work to protect the rule of law, or to build affordable housing, or write california's patients bill of rights. but i know adam through the big brother program. we've been brothers since i was seven. he stood by my side as i graduated from yale, and i stood by his side when he married eve, the love of his life. i'm a little biased, but take it from adam's little brother. he'll make us all proud as california senator. i'm adam schiff and i approve this message. growing up, my parents wanted me to become a doctor or

remember in 1968, when he gets the nomination, the previous person was barry goldwater. >> right.ctually could pass nixon off as a kind of moderating figure in republican politics. that's not the case with donald trump. >> yeah wchx and so, you know, huge polarizing figure. i would say nixon and trump have in common having lost the presidential election prior to this. >> and the crimemyness is similar. >> the other piece dean phillips has no shot. not on the ballots anywhere. he has promised in a phillips administration he would hire elon musk and bill ackman, the guy who chased claudine gay out of the harvard presidency. he's setting a tone which i don't think will help with democrats. >> yeah. i don't think that will win him any votes, necessarily. >> not at all. but for biden, though, talk about sort of where he stands. i mean, he has this war. he has a passionate affiliation and love for israel. he will stick with it. he will not change his policy. he has this problem. he's going to michigan soon. it's not clear arab american leaders will meet with him when he gets there. some

where we had independents willing to stand up to corruption, including the republicans such as barry goldwater stood up to richard nixon. that's not what we're seeing in the house and the senate today. all they want to do is investigate hunter biden. hunter biden wasn't given a job in the white house. i want to here more about jared kushner when he was at the white house and worked a $110 billion deal to sell weapons to the saudi arabians and then within a area leaving the white house, gets a $2 billion investment from the saudi sovereign wealth fund. i call that emoluments under the deferred plan. he waits to get out of office to collect the $2 billion from the saudis. i don't care what you think about the middle east. i don't think that is going to help bring peace to the middle east. so these payoffs for the trump family, the kushner family and the rest of it have a very significant impact on american foreign policy. everything from weapons sales to our diplomacy. the founders envisioned this as a threat. they said it was unconstitutional and illegal. it is about time we enforced the emolum

one of the politicians who becomes very in this idea is senator barry goldwater, who's mounting a run. the president in 1964. so the first moment comes with the publication of this book and it's broad discussion and then friedman signs on as an advisor to goldwater and becomes one of the most effective spokespeople for what he calls a goldwater view of economics. i mean, that was quite a radical thesis at the time, wasn't it? i mean you take a look at the dominant keynesian models that were there at the time, the dominant paradigms in economics and. what's shocking, at least to a modern audience think and especially to non economists, is how little a role money play in our understanding of the economy before and schwartz really came along and made it a big deal their book and is it fair to say that this influence his influence and her influence has lasted to today and still influences us. yeah and i think a lot of what and schwartz proposed seemed outlandish and today seems common sense. you know, when they were writing the book, monetary policy was often said, be pushing on a string.

you talk about barry goldwater.s pounding the podium saying you got to go, it is over. instead of 24 hours later beginning the rehab of donald trump. mccarthy going to mar-a-lago and standing by his side. that was the big moment, but it wasn't the only moment when they could have walked away. >> and they have another moment now with nikki haley. despite senators lying and saying now it is a black and white choice between joe biden or donald trump, they still have somebody out there that they could support. >> who is a republican. >> if the republican voters were behind nikki haley, it might be a different thing. >> let's talk about the new polling this morning that reveals donald trump is leading president biden in every closely watched swing state. but the former president has one major achilles' heel. he loses majority of voters in those key states if he is found guilty of the multitude of charges against him. joining us now, white house reporter for bloomberg. 53% say they would be unwilling to vote for donald tr

. >> it's the -- that is such a caricature that the right-wing puts on -- >> barry goldwater -- >> therebrant, mainstream portion of the democratic party that unilaterally labels people on the right insurrectionists. and it is dishonest to sit here and -- >> only people who are actually insurrectionists -- >> that's not -- >> that is certainly not true -- >> even what abby -- >> biden was saying -- not everybody. >> -- and then when they campaigned, with the brass knuckles, it most assuredly is everyone. >> guys, i've got to -- we have to leave it there. this was a fascinating discussion. and we need another hour to talk about that. everyone, thank you very much. and up next for, us the damning report on the uvalde elementary school massacre. but what will it end up meaning for those families of the 19 children of the twtwo teachersrs thatat were killlled that daday? >>> an unimaginable failure. the doj releasing a damning report today on wide scale of enforcement failures that played out during the 2022 school shooting in uvalde, texas. the nearly 600 page report takes through failures

>> that's part of the character that the right -- >> barry goldwater. >> there is a vibrant, vocal, mainstreamcratic party that unilaterally labels people on the right insurrectionists and it's dishonest to sit here for -- it's used as a blanket term. >> president biden is saying the maga wing of the problem party, he saying that it's not everybody. >> it's not everybody when they don't want it to be everybody. and when they campaign and the brass knuckles, it most assuredly is everyone, including the person -- >> guys, we've got to leave it here. but this was a fascinating discussion. there's probably another hour to talk about all of that, but everyone, thank you very much. up next for us, the damning report on the uvalde elementary school massacre. but what will it end up meaning for those families of the 19 children and two teachers who were killed that day? >>> an unimaginable failure. the doj releasing a damning report today on wide scale of enforcement failures that played out during the 2022 school shooting in uvalde, texas. the nearly 600 page report takes through failures in leadersh

things that went along with that, and the explanation was military training range off luke and the barry goldwater range. do you know anything different other than the official explanation of those lights? >> only what is in the public vernacular outside the scope of my duties. >> if we wanted to -- my question along with my colleague , if we wanted to find out more about that where would we go to find the files and who would we address? i know you totally we need to go to the skiff. >> i could potentially give you a vector on that. f that specific case, i'm familiar with in terms of public, i give you a vector in a closed environment. >> that would be good. thank you. so, if it is true that uap's are having impact on training ranges and this administration considers it to be legitimate, what steps can congress take to address training range impacts, and i say that having two very large training ranges in my state. we will start with mr. graves and go on down the panel. >> some of the initial procedures have been implemented such as within the united states navy that have a range follower report t
