obviously, the infamous debate between the two you write about this in the book i've talked to doris kearns goodwinut it. whose husband was involved in the debate prep. i mean, it's so fascinating the different approaches it seems like nixon didn't take that first debate as seriously as kennedy did. i mean, can they get seems like reno was really working off three by five cards going over notes a lot that nixon kind of assumed he was just better at this stuff than kennedy. >> he remember he'd been vice president eight years a year before. he'd gotten an official debate with nikita khrushchev model kitchen at a, at a trade fair in moscow. and he just thought, i might heavyweight. he's a lightweight i mean, just something as simple as the physical issue which was that kennedy went to california, he got a deep town when they came into the studio they asked me once a makeup, he said no, nixon, who famously had a 5:00 shadow and was still suffering from very serious infection. he had refused to have makeup. he needed the makeup. he looked and can nixon wore a lighter color suit, which blended into the b

pulitzer prize winning author and presidential historian, doris kearns goodwin joins us this morning.s morning. >>> we start with the consequential comments made by donald trump over the weekend. not his cursing about kamala harris. not his vulgar description of arnold palmer's genitalia. no, it was his claim that certain democrats are enemies from within. again, specifically attacking adam schiff and former house speaker nancy pelosi. take a look at what he had to say on fox news yesterday, and then later during a podcast interview. >> the outside people, the so-called enemies, if they're enemies, and they might not be enemies, if you have a smart president, they can be handled. but when you have people investigating my campaign, when you have people -- you know, they spied on my campaign, you understand that. that's been proven. but they spy on your campaign. the russia, russia, russia hoax was all made up. now, it's acknowledged that it was made up. all of these different things. you have the 51 different agents saying it was from russia, and now they all say it wasn't from russia.
