and the day before the speech, george schultz, our wonderful secretary of state took me aside and said i just want you to know, ken, that i share the department's objection with the speech and with that paragraph and i hope you'll convey my views to the president. and i knew at that very moment the speech and that paragraph was okay. because since i kind of had a handle on the president's calendar, i knew george schultz well enough to know that if he wanted to really object he would have asked me for ten minutes on the president's calendar, but he didn't. so, in other words, he was saying to his bureaucracy, i'm covered and ken if that speech paragraph blows up it's on your shoulders not mine. [ laughter ] let me set the rest of the stage. we went on to berlin. and we met with chancellor cole, helmut cole who president reagan thought the world of. we met with him at the old legislature before world war ii. we stood on a balcony that was glass enclosed. facing the berlin wall. our secret service pointed out to us that anything that was said out on the balcony could be heard by the east

but also to give you, the visitor, a chance to hear them speak, george schultz or john dean or members of the house judiciary committee at the time of the impeachment inquiry. you now get a chance to listen to them explain to you what mattered at the time and why they did what they did. we also wanted an opportunity to highlight the vast resources of the national archives. after all, the nixon library is the custodian of the famous nixon tapes and those really lay out a lot of the detail of watergate in addition to other important activities of the nixon administration. and, of course, we have documents. it is estimated the nixon library has 42 million. and we have the documents of the watergate special prosecution forces in the national archives in washington, d.c. we wanted all of that material where relevant to be accessible to you as you make up your mind about watergate and its implications. so let's start with the timeline. it is divided up into five sections. as i thought about -- i'm director, but i was curator of this exhibit so i had to as a historian conceptualize how it wou

think who he had working for him in domestic policy, george schultz, moynihan, and he had some very innovative ideas, doesn't mean that his presidency turned out so well. this brings me to the point i was going to make in broader scope was that part of the reason we have this problem is because i think the framers designed for the presidency is quite different than the one we expect. today we tend to focus on the american presidency, equal parts domestic program. the framers actually had a much narrower view for the presidency in mind. i think the framers expected the executive branch to be primarily devoted to foreign affairs. here i think we have seen in the last ten years president's actually despite george w. bush's presidency trying to actually almost bind themselves in foreign policy. so domestic affairs if you read the federalist papers there's not a lot of discussion about the role to have president in domestic affairs. i think you would be surprised, the framers would be surprised to see the kind of president we had today in this area. they thought the president would be a check on co

nixon in his administration with secretary of state george schultz when he was head at that time, i think, of the department of labor, it was interesting because they fashioned the means by which we ultimately got affirmative action. the set aside and programs of that nature for small businesses in this country came out of the bowels of the republicans. democrats eventually grabbed on to it, i'm sure that there was an appreciation and a reflection by black americans showing that they loved that idea and they pushed that idea and it makes good sense for all america. >> bill: today in our political economy one big party democrats big spending and the republic party the opposite. the polls say that mitt romney has 2% of the african-american vote right now. okay. black unemployment is 15%. black youth unemployment is 40%. so president obama has not done the job for the black community and the stats are the stats. yet, mitt romney is 2%. how you can explain that? >> and, bill, let me assure you that there are black persons who are regularly pounding the president for a greater program directed

for instance than george schultz and henry kissinger.th people i agree with and disagree with. but my policies as relate to foreign and domestic policy are mine. they're not the carbon copy of any person's in the past. particularly with gards to domestic policy right now, what we have to do to get this economy going is very different than what happened under prior presidencies of president bush. this is a very different time with a very serious ongoing, distressed economy. i know what it takes to get this economy going. my jobs' recovery plan will do just that. and it's something i'm proud of and the american people deserve to have a discussion about that issue, not these attacks coming from the president. >> thank you very much for your time. we appreciate it. >> thanks, guys. >> interesting interview there. tomorrow on "state of the union," ed galespe will talk about his candidate's history at bain capital. and more on cnn's state of the union with candy crowley sundy morning 9:00 a.m. eastern. >>> children in the u.s. lured into prost

but george schultz, the new secretary of said was very much against and it made common cause with jim baker and others and blockedder. so it was kind of a mel -- mel lan collie moment for her and reagan. she didn't want a job that didn't have some real substantial power. and so she left, and this is after she had agreed to stay through the 1984 election, at which she really established herself -- she had already established herself as a huge power inside the administration in foreign policy, but in 1984, at the republican convention of '84, with the speech, the memorable speech, blame america first democrats, which kind of captivated that convention and really was the political speech of the season, she became in some sense a national figure, and a very, very aattractive one, and felt since she had been locked in this effort to have a position of real power at the national security council, that it was time for her to leave and explore her options, and she had -- one of the things in doing this book that actually surprised me is how much of a kind of a celebrity she had become. and sh
