yeah, he was a big george wallace fan and was volunteering for the george wallace can paint of 1968.he was john bircher. he was a reactionary in his political view. that is not to be enough to explain him. the biggest explanation was really his son have enhanced and his desperation in the months leading up to the assassination, where you see he is reaching out desperately to find something, some sort of meaning, some sort of her face. he is doing bartending school, dancing lessons. he takes a look at the course. he gets that job and gets into self hypnosis with a bunch of shrinks. and then he starts reading these very self-help books, one in particular found on his person when he was caught in london called psycho cybernetics, which talks endlessly and i read this book and your you guys to read it. it is horrific reading, but the purpose is to show basically to find meaning in life you have to have a goal to aim for and to shoot at. it talks about a person be in a torpedo, a person being of a live. it talks about a call seeking at msn. i am not a shrink and i don't entertain kind to

ever since they reconsidered the fact they were voting for people like george wallace, an independent, instead of voting for democrats. both parties have recommended that the road to the white house goes to the south and south carolina is one of those states that matters in that equation. if you are going to win as a democrat, you have to be able to win some of the southern states like barack obama did in 2008. if you are a republican, you have to have those people because the christian -- south carolina, >>> florida is next, how will that effect things? >> newt is flying by the seat of his pants, because he has been -- i wouldn't say making this up as he goes along. but in some ray ways, he was last to the party. but he has a recognizizable game. he comes with baggage, but he has a recognizizable name and there is no shortage of people who have deep pockets and throw big money at him if it looks like he will win. he will be competitive in florida, i think, on the advertising front, but it's still romny's to lose, he is well capitalized. in florida, he is in the facing the base that h

a sun belt where politicians communicate in the code words of george wallace.of course, had much to do with race. but this race-based anger charged politics mutated in mr. gingrich into a more general lietzed moral authoritytism. mr. gingrich wants to be obeyed. indeed he does. when he refers to mr. obama atz the greatest food stamps president in modern history, it doesn't matter that it's not true. it allows him to use those code words that he loves. so according to "the new york times," mr. gingrich hates the media and his campaigning is marked by the deliberate use of racially devisive language. but guess when that editorial was published. november 13th, 1994. yes, say what you like about mitt romney being the king of the flip-flop. newt gingrich hasn't changed in 20 years. thanks so much for watching. dylan ratigan is here. briefly stopping by new york on his 30 million jobs tour. >> there's 300 million of us. we're down about 30 million jobs. we're

i think he's running the most overtly racist campaign i've seen in the country since george wallace. if you talk about presidential campaigns. i think what he tries to do is do these dog whistle things to people he thinks he can with to make up with short comings frankly as a human being. i can't believe people have so much disrespect for the commandment they would give him serious consideration at all. >> what did you think of the speech last night? >> i think a hot of good things in it. if there was one thing missing, i don't want to detract from it, it was a great speech, he needs to be more specific about his plans to put americans back to work. >> i'm sure he will do. that great to have you with us alan grayson all the best. >>> a programming note, tomorrow night we will have a one-on-one leader with nancy pelosi, tune in on the ed show. >>> scott walker desperately tried to make six months of job loss look good in the state of the state address in the state of wisconsin. state senator lena day who responds to the spin, next.

george wallace did it, 1968, a huge i would argue negative impact after him. ross perot did it in 1992. ross perot made bill clinton a deficit reducer. ross is a little -- you know. so -- down there at the end, the elevator wasn't going all the way to the top. so it's a -- yet, ross perot, let's remember, won 20% of the vote almost. shows you 40u we're really hungry, i think. i think if president obama -- i say because he's president, i'm going to shuck all of this, axelrod, go home. i'm going to run a radically responsible, radically bold, radically visionary campaign. one thing democrats have told you is that republicans are impossible. they're trying to stop everything. i'm not going get into that whether it's true or not in the congress. there's truth to it. we can debate all of that later. my frustration is that may all be true in congress, but it's never actually gone to the people. actually said, okay, if these guys are blocking me, i'm not going with my base, i'm going to to people, oh cape, with a real plan. i'm going to keep going with them. i'll cal

there's a little trace of george wallace's pollist. newt gingrich, who has a ph.d.nd is from pennsylvania, learned in georgia how to speak the language of southern populism and he does it with perfect pitch. that's why he's rocketing to the top here. gene makes a good point. will it carry elsewhere? i e don't know. but don't forget the modern republican party is a southern-based party. it began with the dixie democrats here in '48. >> do you think they are sending a message or a president? are they picking him for president or simply sticking it in the eye of the establishment? >> well, you know, it's a genuine vote for him, but it's a message vote. just a wings out that way is fort sumter. we know what happened there. this state has a history of sending a message. that's number one. but number two, will it play elsewhere? well, when he said despicable in that way, i'm sorry, by had to think of daffy duck. and it reminds me that there's this sort of unstable, zany side of newt gingrich that we're likely to see at some point in the campaign. is that going to work els

it's always been in march, pretty much always inform 1976, jimmy carter stopped george wallace here.ince then, we haven't really been that important... last time around, they moved it to january 31, where it is again this year. the state paid the penalty on john mccain and mitt romney came in second and rudy guiliani, who banked everything on florida, came in third and dropped out of the race that nies night and joined the mccain campaign with an endorsement. this time i believe the polls indicate as the governor was just saying that mitt romney certainly is in good situation in new hampshire, is leading in the poles at this point in south carolina. so when they get here, on january 31, i believe this will be the most decisive state because it's a conservative state, probably not as conservative as south carolina. evangelicals are not as important here as a voting bloc. ago the tea party influence has been strong in our last election cycle. but i would think that after florida, it's very likely to be romney and the alternative to romney. as last time, it was mccain and huckabee, afte

george wallace. >> define successful. they didn't win. >> they got votes. >> that's the point.inner take all, you can win 19% of the popular vote as perot did and get nothing. but you make your point. we have had candidates that said, vote for me and i'll send a message. some people want to send a message. >> donna? >> 300,000 undeclared voters in this state, same-day registration, let's see if they go out like they did and vote for ron paul. ron paul has energy. he has enthusiasm. you go to his rallies, you come away with a drive and passion that you want to go out and work hard for this guy. >> how do the democrats handle him? >> where paul is going to hurt obama. he who are enthusiastic are the young people. dropoff for obama were the young voters, young people who are not just voters, they got their parents to vote. that's how -- that's what paul is doing to obama. i don't think it's going to hurt the republican party. >> the big decision that the paul family will have to make, if ron paul goes third party, he's going to be messing up his son rand paul's republican future.

they didn't vote for richard nixon in 1970 or george wallace in 1968. they voted for hubert humphrey. most successors of the democratic to humphrey did relatively well, these jacksonian voters, at least for southerners. if you look at a map of the county baconian mapping areas in eastern kentucky comedy central tennessee, west virginia, even across arkansas and into northern texascommittee's work areas of unusually strong democratic strength among whites in the south, even after the democratic party and flipped to become civil rights in the 1960s. obama change this coalition do not necessarily for the better. take a look at the maps. what i have done here is taken basically states that were basically tied in 1996 or 2008. and as a republican gets to a point coming becomes a little bit better, and other reflate georgia in 2008, which is barely won by mccain is way better than mccain does a little bit better gets darker and darker with the democrats. you will notice that the blue states in 2008 look a lot like the blue states in 1996. why is this? because

and i would have added george wallace to that litany of candidates who happened into the southern anger. a lot of -- there's a lot of anger directed legitimately at those elites who have taken us down a path of the trend line over which is failure, failure, fail zblur there is nothing new about this. dom in an republicans have been anti-elite, anti-foreign counciling, foreign relation, et cetera, for 0 years. nixon was. he hated the establishment. and -- agnew. ronald reagan ran as an outsider. bush was a candidate of the establishment. so i think that the republican party today is saying we don't want romney because he's a an establishment republican. it doesn't matter what he is saying. he's in that slot. and the rank and file are looking for an alternative and every week they seem to -- there. >> there's two interesting -- right on two distinct theories here. one is that this is something ingrained in the republican eleel tore -- electorate time after time. the republican party has also had a history of nominating the next in mind of the bob doles. right? of the john mccain's. so --

the fact he was a george wallace supporter in california.were really interesting. martin luther king you know, what was happening during that time, the talks that he was giving. just how, if you will, inflammatory it was and how the tensions were at such a heightened level. it was just really interesting. >> ma list? >> i'm teaching a course this semester on america's first ladies and i'm reading woody holton's book. it's about who the founders were and there was also a critically important what we have to think as prefeminist voice that is also part of -- >> don't forget the ladies. michelle? >> it's hard it to reach that much when you're running around south carolina. i was kind of going to speeches all day and reading joan diddy at night to cheer up. di get to re-read john richardson's classic esquire profile of mariand gingrich and how it explains. >> marianne is the second wife of newt gingrich. >> i road a by jody kantor. it's a favorable portrait and great book about the personal element and dah mention of a white house which is impor

they didn't vote for richard nixon in 1970 or george wallace in 1968.voted for hubert humphrey. most successors of the democratic to humphrey did relatively well, these jacksonian voters, at least for southerners. if you look at a map of the county baconian mapping areas in eastern kentucky comedy central tennessee, west virginia, even across arkansas and into northern texascommittee's work areas of unusually strong democratic strength among whites in the south, even after the democratic party and flipped to become civil rights in the 1960s. obama change this coalition do not necessarily for the better. take a look at the maps. what i have done here is taken basically states that were basically tied in 1996 or 2008. and as a republican gets to a point coming becomes a little bit better, and other reflate georgia in 2008, which is barely won by mccain is way better than mccain does a little bit better gets darker and darker with the democrats. you will notice that the blue states in 2008 look a lot like the blue states in 1996. why is this? because her 1

. >> and george wallace? the role of him in this primary? >> well, wallace was a spoiler.tried to be a spoiler. he got past muskie in florida. wallace won the florida primary and muskie finished fourth. that was kind of the last nail in muskie's coffin and another thing that opened up the way for mcgovern. >> so, muskie stumbled, but did mcgovern make any mistakes in this primary? >> he would later. he got a little complacent, oddly enough. he came from 100-1 odds to win the nomination, but he stumbled badly in california. he came into california riding all of these sudden victories. it came down to him and hubert humphrey. all these other candidates had dropped out. it came down to the california primary. suddenly they were fat and happy and did not work quite as hard. george mcgovern got a lot of good press early on because he was the underdog. now humphrey was the underdog and he started getting a positive press. they were playing the same expectations game that mcgovern won in new hampshire. but he lost in california. everyone assumed he was going to win in a blowout,

invited him back in the summer of 19643 to take a view of the civil rights crisis in alabama with george wallacennedy himself had a very strong sense of how technology at this point it was color tv, might play into an election, how it might be seen as new, as part of the new generation, as part of a hopeful 1960s. and in he is in great detail minding out this is the type of thing that we should be showing at the convention, this is the people who should be producing it. >> the latest recordings from the kennedy library. david coleman keeping these at the miller center at the university of virginia. caller: i can answer the last caller's question. the reason why kennedy was murdered was because of the certain secret societies that they had here. there is a treaty of 1783 that was made between the english empire and the united states. that's why today america they say it's the united states but it's not. guest: host: another theory. thank you. let's go back to some of the recordings. and this is again the same conversation that president kennedy was having in october of 1963. a young carol line an

in 1948, strom thurmond and the dixiecrats, 1968 with george wallace and the american party. but he was really trying to create a centrist movement. that is why he hired ed rollins there are republican strategist and burden jordan a democrat to working as campaign. he was trying to play down the middle. i do not think we have somebody willing to get in the game like that. you hear sometimes mayor bloomberg name has been evoked. donald trump has all these games for his own publicity, but he has not gone into the game and focused on the issue. i think one of the things in thinking about ross perot is he actually did it. it is wanting to talk about it -- it is one thing to talk about it but to get on all 50 and to get to the point where you are getting 19% of the american people -- that 19% is still the middle-class center that both president obama and whoever the republican nominee is fighting for. the working class, blue-collar, patriotic, taxpaying american citizens and rust belt towns or tumbleweed towns in the west that are hurting economically. he is talking about a massiv

george wallace did in 1968 and had a huge negative impact after him and ross perot did in 1992.ss perot made bill clinton a deficit producer. so down at the income of the elevator wasn't going all the way to the top. yet, ross perot must remember 120% of the vote almost. shows you how americans are really hungry a thing. i think if president obama -- the president said i'm going to shuck off all of this, go home. i am going to run and radically responsible, radically bold, radically revisionary campaign. one thing democrats to use republicans are impossible in trying to stop everything. i'm not going to change whether it's sure not. there's a lot of truth, but we can debate that later. my frustration is that all may be true in congress, but the administration has never gone to the people. these people are blocking me. i actually go to the people with a real plan. i'm going to keep going to them. i will call up since then her bowls or whoever the republicans voted in st. louis and girls, we're going to go all across this country until every american why we need a grand bargain, w

they didn't vote for richard nixon in 1968, and they didn't vote for george wallace. they voted for hubert hum free. most of the successors did relatively well among these jacksonian voters, at least for southerners. if you look at a map of the county by county map, areas in eastern kentucky, east central tennessee, west virginia, even across arkansas and into northern texas, these were areas of unusually strong democratic strength among whites in the south even after the democratic party had flipped to become the party of civil rights in the 1960s. now, obama changed this coalition, but not necessarily for the better. take a look at the maps. now, what i've done here is taken, basically, every -- a state that was basically tied in 1996 or 2008 is white. and as it becomes, as a republican gets a point, it becomes a little bit redder. in other words, like georgia in 2008 which was barely won by mccain is light red, and as mccain does a little bit better, it gets darker and darker, and the same is true of the democrats. you'll notice that the blue states in 2008 look a

george wallace did it in 1968. had a huge, i would argue negative, impact after him. ross perot did it, of course, in 1992. washington, d.c. made bill clinton a deficit reducer. and ross is a little [laughter] down near the end the elevator wasn't going all the way to the top, yet ross perot, et cetera remember, won 20% of the vote almost. shows you how americans are really hungry. i just think if president obama, and i say because he's president, just said i'm going to chuck off the extra rod, plus go home. i going to run a radically responsible, radically bold, radically visionary campaign. one things democrats will always tell you, republicans are impossible, they're trying to stop everything. i'm not going to get in that whether it's true or not in the congress. i think there's a lot of truth to it. we can debate all of that later. my frustration is that may all be true in congress but i feel the administration of the presence has never actually gone to the people. ok, these guys are blocking me. not to my base. i will go to the people with the plan. i will call u
