of d-day, dwight took cronkite there. so there is would feeling cronkite might be a republican but the vietnam war showed him to be a liberal, and he came out publicly saying, i'm a man of the left, in a speech with barbara jordan. >> host: did that hurt him? >> guest: no, because at that time he had stepped down as the anchor manin' 1981. he played mr. objective quite bell, and if you go to a doctor and are getting surgery you don't care if the doctor is a democrat or republican, but when he came out and voiced some disseptember own the vietnam war, it was the beginning of him editorializing, and today we see people in television who are editorializing all the time, and that's a slippery slope we're on now. and also, you see, with cronkite the berth of celebrities and television. where cronkite would go to a rally with senators and people running for president, everybody bum rushed them. they wanted to meet cop cite, not a senator from wisconsin. >> host: how would you describe him as a private person? >> guest: a lot of

would you like to have dinner with walter cronkite? she said, who is walter cronkite? my wife is an anthropologist. she spent a few years living with a tribe of indians in colombia. she was not clued into what was on television. and that was it. i had a bentley, an old bentley, a convertible with a rumble seat. which in british automobile parlance is called a dickey, the rumble seat. so we picked up cronkite, who got in the rumble seat in the open car. he had a lot to drink that night. they were great fun to be with. when we finally ended the evening, which was at 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning, driving walter to his hotel, we went past buckingham palace. then, there was no security around. now all the roads are blocked. no security -- the guardsmen out front. walter insisted that i do a few circles around buckingham palace. he got up and did his impersonation of the queen. the only witnesses were the two guardsmen outside of buckingham palace. >> how long did you date before he married? >> that was july 4 and we were married on october 28. >> who is sarah alice ann safer

cronkite's -- were mr.cronkite's political beliefs shaped by his experiences growing up with a family of the midwestern or transported to the harsh jim-crow conditions of houston texas during the 1920's and 30's. >> again, an excellent question. cronkite's family was in kansas city, and they just did not experience jim-crow institutionalize prejudice and misery, although it existed. they were very urban. and that was where jazz was taking place and all that. vine street and casey. they moved down to houston in 1927, and they were shocked by the caste system, the jim-crow laws. in fact, his father who was a dental surgeon working at texas dental college was aghast that the head of the texas dental school had these deeply bigoted prejudiced use. cronkite had zero tolerance for bigotry his whole life, and it was one of the things that attracted him and allowed cbs, i believe, to cover civil rights in the 60's. they used to call cbs the right wing, the john birch people, the color broadcasting system or the com

a very modest life you know he has net worth was never even close to being a millionaire walter cronkite was making sixty thousand dollars a year doing the c.b.s. evening news. since reagan dropped that top tax rate down below seventy four percent there's been this explosion in the nature of elites in the united states what what what are the consequences of that and what are the solutions to. and i'm glad that you you know that the dropping of the top marginal tax rate i think is a i don't i write about it in the book when i write about taxation policy in the last chapter but i think it's a really important thing because it really does change if you're if you believe as as conservative economists said. doing incentives right the idea of dropping the top tax rate is that people will work harder they'll you know that the mark zuckerberg of the world formerly would have just sat around on their duff but now they're going to invent facebook and they're going to keep working on facebook and keep giving us all some products because they're going to take home more of every marginal dollar they

this is walter cronkite, good night. >> president kennedy would play one last card for a peaceful resolution. >> kennedy engaged in the least abnoxious option which is to engage a naval blockade. >> reporter: experts say any invasion fleet would almost certainly been annihilated by the missiles already in place. >> we would have sailed into this and i would think unless -- they would not have been able to stop it. >> as the stable stakes that the unite would take no action. >> his ploy had not worked. and by being willing to back down with blowing up the world was in a way saving face. >> the soviets back down in the face of u.s. determination. dismantle their missells and take them home. it was a retreat to moscow. but castro refused to give up the bombers the reds had shipped to cuba. for days this critical point went unresolved. far beyond the scenes the russians pulled the strings on their puppet castro. a message directly to president kennedy. >> i have today been informed by chairman that all bombs will be withdrawn in 30 days. he also agreed that these planes can be observed and count

(laughter) is the hispanic vote still in play? >> not really. i just say the latest poll from latino decisions and 73% of latinos tend to be-- they said they'll be voting for president barack obama. about 21% f

you think of the famous example of walter cronkite back during the vietnam war.e vast middle american audience and supposedly lbj decided it was doomed when he lost walter cronkite. you think about some kind of parallel example today, you know, any news person who does that, if it's inconvenient to the right -- >> you would taint them for political purposes. as you have explained before they consistently taint "the new york times" or other respectable organs so they can not have to listen to them in the future. >> right. and, you know, it's a real -- it's a real obscure point here, but, you know, there was an election in georgia, the small country, last week. it was interesting to watch what happened there though because there is a figure in that country who rises above politics and that's the religious leader, and he managed to basically cast his lot with the opposition party and that moved voters. >> that sounds dangerous. >> a little too long. that does it for the cycle but the debate coverage, it doesn't stop. it will keep going and going and going. and going

rice university professor and author of the new book "cronkite." welcome back inside "the war room." >> thanks, governor. thanks for having me. >> jennifer: you bet. so is it just me or do you also think that tomorrow's debate is being pumped up more than any other debate at least in my memory? >> well, i think so because it seems like it has been a longer campaign right? the media now -- every day really every second, people are watching what obama and romney says. it is the dominant story. i think people are feeling this is one of those elections of a lifetime which vision for america to go to. so it is a lot of hype for this one and there is a feeling now with barack obama up in the polls, three points nationally but up in some -- almost all of the swing states he might be able to close the deal with the american people tomorrow night if he has a good performance. on the other hand, as governor chris christie said over the weekend, if mitt romney comes in and is able to hold his own or even get a few good jabs in, he could get a bit of a bounce.

back then you had walter cronkite. today you have people on fox news and msnbc's who are not so much reporters but participants. and i think it's also in part because in the old days you didn't switch from majority to minority that frequently. before winning the majoritied that opportunity to begin to implement the majority. and so there's a lack of willingness to cooperate because it might help them win the majority. we're going to spend over $9 million and we had spent three times more in part because of citizen's united and you have all those -- inside? and i mean, you're seeing the differences from when you first came until now? the ability? could you work with tom daschle today? >> sure. can i just say i want to thank governor shars negative for inviting me and my 100-year-old mother and wife both attended the institution, and one was a delta gamma and one was a theta. >> why we may come out of this is because of -- yes, i'm trying to meet someone in that 11%. i'd like to ask him or her what they approve of what w

used to be that there was a kind of shared set of assumptions and news, everybody watched walter cronkiteor huntley and brinkley and they sort of made an effort, you could argue how successful but played things down the middle. that was true of newspapers as well. and rupert murdoch brought fox news to the united states, which is based more on an english model where in england you have, everybody knows e-guardian is a labor paper at the telegraph is a tory paper and fox news became a republican jim, and msnbc became a liberal channel. and so you have people getting information that was as different as the political views but and i think that contribute to polarization but i think it's a great question and i don't really have, these are ideas but i don't have a complete answer for you. >> do you have an idea that chief justice roberts feels about citizens united? >> i know he voted for it. and, that's a pretty good tipoff right there.

back then you that walter cronkite and today you've got people on fox news.they are not as much referees but participants in the political process and the process has caused a lot more hyperbole than we've ever seen before. it's also in part because back in the old days you didn't switch back and forth that frequently. today -- that used to be winning the majority was an opportunity to begin to implement your agenda but to the winning the majority is the end of itself. you want to do everything you can say you don't want to give credit to the other side so there is a lack of willingness to cooperate because it might help them either keep or win the majority. all those factors play themselves out not to mention we will spend over 9 million this year of the federal level, and four years ago we spend a little over $3 billion, three times more in part because citizens united but in part because the money exists there so you have all those factors that are placing themselves out in ways we didn't see a few years ago. skype uzi the differences of when you first cam
