i don't think the "miami herald" did this, i don't think gary hart did this. >> jon: if it wasn't garybe someone else. >> absolutely. but was him and i think that moment tells us a lot of how we got to the place where we are where our poll particulars feel so sterile and our politicians so remote and our journalism, often, so not illuminating for the things that matter. >> jon: at this point, the general ramification of this is are politicians become incredibly cautious. they don't-- it becomes now about really scripting a campaign in a way that did not exist prior to that? nixon did not do that, kennedy -- they must have all had spin teams but were they more, were they less guarded with the press than they are now? >> much more so. much more so. you know, you see it, in that moment, just after that stakeout, they go to new hampshire and there is a famous news conference where the reporter from "the washington post" says in front of a crowded room of press, senator, have you ever committed a did -- adultery. no candidate was ever asked that blanket question. >> jon: do you think it is

gary hart said his speech was too contrite. he gave an angry speech, mark my words, i tremble for my country when we may get the leaders we deserve. the speech was roundly mocked at the time, the feeling was he should have been more contrite, he wasn't taking responsibility. but i think 27 years later there would be too many americans who think, we could get the leaders we actually deserve. >> the question is, how important is what you've done in your personal life, how does that translate to your public life? we've had some very moral leaders who have been terrible presidents and probably the reverse. the book brings up all sorts of interesting questions that are worth looking at. i wish we had more time, because we could talk about it for a half hour. the book is all the truth is >> dementia mostly caused by alzheimer's has quickly become the most expensive ailment in the u.s. the cost of dementia in america ranges if $159 billion to $215 billion annually. making it more expensive than cancer or heart disease. 502050 the numb

the gary hart affair changed reporting for good that it's been tabloid ever since. ls myths. he writes this. even when insiders and historians recall the hart episode now, they recall it the same way. hart issued his challenge to reporters telling them to follow him around if they didn't believe him. and then the herald t miami herald, took him up on it. people believe hart set is hiss own trap and allowed himself to be snared in it. matt, why does that matter? what significance is it whether hart was issuing a challenge and "the miami herald" pursued him? >> it's one of the things of many that are misremembered about this moment in time. almost everything is wrong and in this sense it matters a lot because if gary hart was the one who changed the boundaries and the rules around private lives and political careers, then it's him who invited us into the bedroom of politicians and he set the standard and the media had no choice but to follow. >> the idea at the time was to hell with the guy, he brought it on himself, not with infidelity but issued the challenge. he des

i think the point of that is they shouldn't have jumped gary hart out of politics. i think the point is our actions have consequences. decisions have consequences. they are not just entertainment and we are not just creating the ratings. there are consequences that reverberate and tip like done the most that we lose sight of that follow us through the years. it goes back to the point in the speech. you get the delete word -- the leaders you deserve and the leaders you deserve are the leaders you get when the dominos fall in that way. >> host: bill from pennsylvania, go ahead. >> caller: well hello. hi. calling to emphasize the point i suppose. there's only so much time that people have to listen to current affairs and when we have a situation where the whole world becomes a kardashian episode we end up losing any knowledge of what the government is actually doing. the only important thing is what's in the bill that's going to become a lot? and why the various positions on that bill are being disputed. we hear nothing about that. we hear everything about obama, the h

is out which he makes the case that politicalçó reporting of politil candidates changed after the gary harting like that prior and of course we have seen it many times since. the reason for me, you know, is that i spent a lot of yearsÑi now as y# campaigns, and national politics. and i had this feeling that something that happened in that moment had a real reverberating effect through the years and changed the experience for me and other my age and came after to cover politics. >> rose: nick woodman, peter barack,g+glñ and matt bai when e continue. funding for charlie rose is provided by the a dditional funding provided by -- >> and by bloomberg a provider of multimedia news and information services worldwide. > captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: nick woodman is here. he is the founder and ceo of gopro, the wearable video camera company that on the back of extreme athletes and adventurers, its appeal has expanded along with the company's value, gopro went public in june, the stock has tripled since that time making i

it was gary hart. a miami investigation raised the spectre of scandal about womanizing the the media frenzy culminate in a new hamp smir in where a reporter asked "have you ever committed adultery?", for more on it rides of fall and the destruction that is prevalent, i'm joined by a national political columnist for yahoo! new, former correspondent for "new york times" magazine and author of "all the truth is out - the week politics went tabloid." good to have you with us. president's private lives were private to a degree that seems astonishing. from fdr and j.f.k.'s mistress , and l.b.j. asked not to talk about women brought to the hotel rooms. the gary hart matter was the final nail in the coffin. >> yes, if not the final nail, the first breath of a new era in politics and political reporting, thank you for having me on, i am thrilled to be here. >> you mentioned a bunch of presidents. personal moral and behaviour didn't figure. you have a meant where you flash forward, and you have gary with the hil

you talked to gary hart. how does he reflect on that now?hink it's been extremely difficult and continues to be difficult for hart. what moved me to write the book is not so much the animating themes about privacy and politics, because it's not a manifesto by any means. it's a story. what motivated me was this gripping, unbelievable story, first of the fall, as you point out, with four reporters backing the presumed nominee of the democratic party up against a brick wall and an oil stained alley, he's wearing a white hoodie. the news conference in new hampshire where paul taylor asked him this question. no candidate has ever been asked before, "have you cheated on your wife? have you committed adultery?" but then the years afterward, it's very important, this period when he goes into exile. he's stigmatized. he wants to serve in some capacity. he wants to come back into public life. but because he's the first, because of what a national joke he became in that moment, it's exceedingly hard for him to overcome. he carries around in those years

into his bedroom and then he set a new standard and they came into everybody's bedroom so we have gary harto blame. there was a lot going on in the cuil tur churning. this thendency toward entertainment, the ghosts of waller gait. hart did give that quote but it was not public. it did not cause the press to change their standard of scrutiny for him. and, in fact, you know, we misremember who changed the rules and the boundaries, it was us in the media and i think we have to reckon with that. >> and perhaps change them again. i would end with one more thing i noticed in "the new york times." it was mark leibovich's column talking about mitt romney. he's quoted as saying if i ever want to run again i want a camera to follow me the whole time because then i will remember that i'm always on. and that's the extreme of what you're describing started about 25, 30 years ago. >> that was a remarkable interview mark did. romney said this is the end of spontaneity in politics. >> thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to hear how this sounds to another reporter, michael isikoff. he

a former senator gary hart from colorado. you'll remember him. a former presidential candidate.what he has done now he has penned a letter to the editorial board of the denver post calling what they wrote their endorsement of gardner i'll quote him here, it's the worst political endorsement by a serious newspaper in my lifetime. he has been watching politics in colorado for a long time, gary hart, he said it's a left-wing newspaper, they should have, in his estimation, supported mark udall, but they've gone behind cory gardner. it's curious to a lot of people there, and they couldn't make that argument, and it goes against everything they've preached in the past, including a previous endorsement of udall. we go from 1984 to 1988 candidate gary hart to wisconsin scott walker. he is now in a dead heat. ththe poll has he and mary bolt tied. only two candidates who were talked about seriously. and no if he doesn't win that race it's going to cause a lot of tongues in wag in these fundraising circles of the republican party. finally we move to another govern, another possible 2016 ca

my premise is not that absent gary hart or the miami herald, we'd live in a different world.site. we've blamed him for his own downfall for inviting us into the bedrooms of politicians when the reality is there were all these forces coming into the culture that were going to push politics more towards entertainment, politicians of celebrities and then essentially that transition was going to happen -- somebody was going to walk into it. where i revised the history is i think hart was just the guy to walk into something much larger than about him. and i think it was much larger than "the herald." >> and if you could, president clinton obviously, kind of the exception that proves the rule. he survived many of these scandals but maybe he would not have been president if hart hadn't been there first. >> that's true. but i feel differently. i think we created a culture -- a political culture where the person who gets rewarded is the one who can drag their family through the scrutiny and share all the details whereas the guy says, i'm drawing lines, it's not anybody's business and

>> well, again, think there was an article in politico about gary hart ruining politics, and everybodyws his claim to fame. aim not worried about what gary hart says and he can take his monkey business other places. >> are yous again president obama? are you taking aim at president obama as the leader of the democrats. >> if you look at the president, he himself has said his policies are going to be on the ballot. the policies of his administration will be voted on and that's something that people will fill out the ballots they have in the mail today in colorado over the next several weeks, leading to november 4th they'll be voting on the failed leadership of barack obama and mr. udall who voted with him hook, line and sink. >> the word that the president is going to call of the national guard for west africa. >> that's something i need tolash more about. have not seen the decision by the president or the order to do that. but still makes me wonder why he is unwilling to put in a travel restriction to protect the people of this country. >> you seem rather soft-edged on this. if you're

it's not true. >> there's a great moment where you have gary hart at the press conference and he looked around the room and you say he knew that many of the reporters had been having affairs. a little bit of hypocrisy there. >> he is run through the series of questions. is adultery immoral? have you ever committed adultery. they remember it like it was yesterday. no one had ever heard a question like that in politics and hart does look out and he looks out at reporters he knew was having adulterous affairs and he goes through this process in his head. 24 hours later he's back to colorado. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> more of that conversation on our homepage this week. our video verdict is up next. test >>> president obama returned to a familiar campaign theme, taking a swipe at fox news. this was a hot topic of conversation on "fox and friends." >> good affordable health care may seem like a feigned threat to the freedom of the american people on fox news, turns out it is working pretty well in the real world. >> listen, i don't know why anybody would be upset about th

in may of 1987, gary hart led george h.w. bush by double digits in the polls.ors of infidelity ended his candidacy. his new book shows how the heart episode marked a turning point. it is called "all the truth is out." i am pleased to have matt bai at this table. >> great to meet you. >> tell me the picture creek at the time. heart was so high in the polls, after he was taken down, not because of knowledge of things he had done, his candidacy was over. a man who was likely to become a nominee of a party, and could have been at the white house, is taken down by marital infidelity. what is the lesson? the reason we are writing a book called "all the truth is out." >> they had not seen anything like that prior. the reason for me, i spent a lot of years now covering presidential campaigns and national politics. i have had this feeling that something that happened in that moment had a real reverberating effect and change these periods for me. i think that episode, which happened for a variety of reasons, change the eve those of political journalism from the explorati

i'm not suggesting everything is fine minus gary hart and that that is what ruined politics but i'm saying there was going to be a moment where this thing tipt and i think this was that moment. host: even in the speefment did hart ever admit to an affair? guest: no. hart dismissed all of these questions as irrelevant. he really wouldn't answer them. he admitted to putting himself in a difficult position. it's not really clear what happened. we know he saw donna rice twice. i go through this in the book and i won't tell readers what it all came down to because they have to read the book to find out but for all the years after he and donna rice refused to talk about it, both for their own reasons and hart's feeling has been for 20r years that this is nobody's business and irrelevant and people can roll their eyes and say we live in the mot erin era but the question is how are we defining character exactly? are we defining character by the person who will emote and subject their family to every level of scrutiny and office gate and lie outright to get around these issues and evade the traps w

it's the story of a democratic congressman who jumps into the 1988 race after gary hart drops out.. (robert altman) we created a candidate and put him out on the road and so it says you're doing a documentary film following gary hart around; we were following mike murphy or jack tanner around. and we put a staff around him and we operated as if that's the way it was happening. no, i think it's going to be you and me in the final stretch if i can hang on that long. good luck see ya in november. (robert altman) we had a fictional character that we were passing off into a world of real people. where i seem to feel i get the best results is by finding what the arena is and then set up that event and let it happen. i'm trying to give the audice a sense that, "oh, this is really happening maybe." and i'm trying to just break that fourth wall out. so our techniques became the same way. our lighting reflected that. we didn't want any good movie lighting because you say, "well, how could they get that with hand-held videocams?" so suddenly we were -- the medium was the message.

[applause] and i can sense here in your state that you, after that, shall we call it back in 2010 chairman buckley, the little bit of speed wobble that we had. i know maggie, governor, your people appreciate good leadership and they feel a lot better about the direction of which there had thanks to you and the good work you've done. i couldn't help, and want to share with you just a few words of encouragement because i know when you tune in to some of the cable shows, you get discouraged. it's easy to get discouraged watching gridlock in congress, but i've been traveling all around the country going to j.j. dinners, as many places as we can in helping the democratic party. because bill, however charismatic any leader is, they cannot succeed unless we all stick together, and we are strong. you cannot govern effectively and deliver results for people unless you ar

gary hart got sunk four years before nothing like this. showed the guy's resilience that he was not willing to quit. i reconstructed the 33 days that he spent in new hampshire for a magazine piece that appeared later. it was the, first time i ever did a story in third person narrative, writing it like it is a novel with not attribution. wrote it like i was god. that i had overheard anything. i had seen a lot because i traveled with him. but, it helped, bill and hillary both had talked to me at length. all of his aides talked to me. i was able to put together i think account of all this inside baseball that went on, very dramatic period. and,. this is the way i began the story. bill clinton's time was expiring in new hampshire. worn down by illness, his voice frayed by fatigue, his jogger's body swollen from the consumption of junk food, he seemed to be a fighting a losing battle. a freezing rain cast a treacherous glaze on the highway. as he was driven to nashua, less than 60 hours before the polls opened. clinton was encouraged when he ar

host: gary hart said he was thinking about canceling his subscription to the denver post because of that endorsement. guest: that's a little extreme, but yes, it's very unusual. but they made some very valid points in their endorsement. that is that senator udall has run essentially a one issue campaign against gardner about his position on personhood, which is essentially choice, when does life begin? in his announcement, gardner walked back that position, but the issue has been entirely that. there is a reporter there who asked senator udall in the debate, how did he feel that his nickname had become mark uterus, just because of these ads. i know some supporters that have spent some time on the trail with udall. i think they made a point in saying voters deserve more than this one issue campaign. host: and right now polls have cory gardner of between four and six points. guest: we always thought this would be competitive, but gardner has definitely put a marker down there. you saw two democratic polls come out yesterday, so you didn't miss much, that have udall up three. we are seeing

. >> so except you get into, you know, the whole gary hart issue and everything.re are a number of races in the country where it's woman against a woman. things get just as ugly as when you've got two women running against each other. yes, it's tough, but i do think increasingly young women are willing to say i'm going to do this and you know what i'm not going to wait until after i've had my kids. there are a number of candidates who have had six children, five children, a lot of young kids at home. >> you drilled down on some speck states as you look at this in the magazine, arizona, we can see the potential where we have two female vets. and then wendy rogers, who is 60, both republicans. >> and there are two female veterans already in congress. and what's interesting is you had all these women who went off and searched in the iraq war. the military has been a sort of leadership grooming ground for male candidates for a long time and now we're seeing women coming out of that. there are 11 females running in this year's cycle and i think that's really cool. >> a

i remember him the morning that gary matter dropped out of the race in -- hart dropped out of the race in 1987 and i and the late great ann devaroy in his office and he was in conversation with one of hart's advisors in colorado and he was a great and inspiring person to work for. gwen: he was. i do remember getting hired by him. and i tell the story online. we don't have time to talk about it now. but i have to say that he was an intimidating figure. but a lovelyable one. thank you, everybody. our condolences go out to his wife sally and son quinn. we have to go now but there's more to say on the "washington week" webcast extra where among other things, we'll take you behind the scenes on the campaign trail. that streams live at 8:30 p.m. eastern and all week long at pbs.org/washingtonweek. keep up with daily developments with me and jude jide at "the pbs newshour" and we'll see you next week here on "washington week." good night. >> corporate funding for "washington week" is provided by -- >> the future of surgery is within sight. our research is studying how real time multimodality
