they are crying out for leadership. >> i saw him make a speech in 1964 for goldwater.. >> he has the same type of feeling with the people that john kennedy had, i think. >> reagan did a very brief run for president in 1968, but it was too little too late. >> richard nixon goes over the top with 287 electoral votes. and that seems to be the 1968 election. >> conservatives won control of the republican party in 1964, but they didn't figure out what to do with it for 15 years. s a patented fast-dissolving formula. it starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. i never know when i'll need relief. that's why i only choose nicorette mini. making a fist something we do to show resolve. to defend ourselves. to declare victory. so cvs health provides expert support and vital medicines. at our infusion centers or in patients homes. we help them fight the good fight. cvs health, because health is everything. here at friskies, cats are in charge of approving every new recipe. because it's cats who know best what cats like to eat. up today, new friskies 7. we're trying seven cat-favori

he came to power when barry goldwater was the face of conservatism. goldwater was stern. he frighten people. it's for people off. reagan was the rare conservative that drew people in. reagan was a conservative optimist. conservatives are almost always pessimists. nick: how would he do today in the modern gop? h.w.: there are two answers. if we look at reagan after he had been president, he would not fare well because he would have this track record of compromise. when reagan was a candidate, you did not see that compromise and in his speeches he did not say he would compromise. if reagan was a candidate today as he was in 1979, i think he would get a good chance of getting a nomination. nick: what has taken worldwide is that he was an amiable dons. he had a simplistic worldview. you are charging against that. h.w.: reagan knew what he was doing in foreign affairs. if you focus on a central issue in the cold war, reagan focused on two issues -- shrinking government at home, defeating communism abroad. reagan is for remembered with reference in eastern germany. his challeng

and do you recall, does that adjust your view of barry goldwater's role? >> these are not pure types, john. there's no such thing as being a cheerleader. but as a tendency no it did i not doesn't change my mind. what changes my mind about him is when he finally got into a tussle with casey over the miners in nick ras rag what. then he became a true overseer. but i grant you your example there. >> and diane, to complete the record of the story, can you explain to people what we now know about the source of "the new york times" leak that was not you? >> well, actually, the russell tice had already admitted that he was one of the sources. as i understand from reading i believe james risen has said once or twice there were about a dozen sources. but none of the other ones have been revealed. and risen took the unusual step of saying publicly on a number of occasions that it wasn't the five of us who were targeted and that he knew -- he didn't know any of us and had not received any information from us. >> and who was this person who came forward and said -- >>

it was no different and i goldwater philosophy. but their appearance to the american people couldn't have been more different he was scary to a lot of people people, and the johnson campaign went to town on that. ronald reagan by contrast, he was a friendly likable guy in he tells jokes and tells them smile. he is conservatism with a friendly face. in fact he was that example of an optimistic conservative. he said again and again and he fully believed that america is the shining city on the hill and it is going to get more shining as time goes on. again and again putting on his tombstone in the epitaph ronald reagan said that america's best days are ahead. now for somebody to say that in the 1970s when he is running for president after the 1960s come in the 1970s, between the vietnam war have arrived in the 1960s, watergate it wasn't the most natural thing. remember jimmy carter in the so-called malaise. america's best days are ahead. so here is how the republican candidate can win. take that conservative message that is my one at.

tower, vice chairman phillip hart walter huddleston, bob morgan gary hart, howard baker, barry goldwater, mac mathias, and richard striker, and his staff, bill miller, fred schwartz, kurt smothers who i do not think is here. how did you get a committee like that? my answer is mike mansfield. he wanted this to succeed. he wanted to set up a committee that he thought could go through this huge explosive hearing, this process and do what he knew would have to be done to work together and sustain bipartisanship, and that worked. this committee was working together. there was a single staff. we didn't have a republican staff or democratic staff. bill miller came off the staff of john sherman cooper, one of the saints of the senate, and also republican and he had enormous prestige in that senate as a gifted staff member and he was able -- he knew exactly what had to be done. he was an old hand and then i think you have to say that the executive branch, maybe with a little time but they ended up in effect supporting what we were all doing. president ford who was not an ideolog, part of the proc

barry goldwater tried it, george h.w. bush tried it the second time. it's never the first issue. in the post9/11 world 15 years hence that it will be next year, today his speech did not hit any of those tones. he was almost single-mindedly focused on foreign issues. >> we assume he will do well in south carolina, it's his home state. what about other states? >> if he doesn't do well in south carolina then this conversation ends right now. he is ahead in the polls every poll they have in south carolina shows graham ahead. but he has to finish high in the top tier in iowa and new hampshire. he wouldn't have any momentum coming back to south carolina, someone else will. that's a problem for him in south carolina. he has got to get his message out in iowa and new hampshire. john mccain is going to be a good surrogate for him in new hampshire. >> thank you michael. >>> secretary of state john kerry is on a military jet at this hour for treatment in the united states after a bicycling accident biking biking in the french alps. he has cancelled trips to spain and france. >>> the white h

barry goldwater was one example where they did that and ronald reagan was the other and all the other candidates nominated have not been the most conservative candidate in the race. even within the republican party it would be helpful to him to make peace with the right but not indispenseable for him to win them all other. in fact i don't think he can. >> and you think it's smart for him to just say right out front, i'm for common core i'm for immigration reform and i'm not going to bend on this? >> well he has obviously detailed positions with regard to those two things and the people who are mad at him about those issues would listen carefully. i'm not that hopeful about this to what he has to say about it. it might appealerate some of the concerns. he has a lot to say on both issues and it's too simple to say yes, he's for common core and i amunrestrict eded immigration which he's not. >>> the major blow democrats dealt to president obama on trade and a sign of mission increase? does the president have a plan to beat isis? let me know on facebook or twitter @foxnewssunday and use #

do you remember in 1981 when barry goldwater insistered that bobby inman be the deputy dci? and when barry goldwater ensured directly with the white house that there would be full consultation on the revision of the executive order and intelligence with the bipartisan senate intelligence committee fully staffed to be able to review the white house draft of an executive order and if you recall those does that adjust your view of barry goldwater's role? >> these are not pure types, john. there's no such thing as someone being an unallied cheerleader. no, it doesn't change my mind. what changed my mind about him is when he finally got into a tousle with casey over nicaragua and then he became a true overseer, but i grant you your example. >> and diane, to complete the record of the story can you explain to people what we now know about the source of "the new york times" leak that was not you? >> well actually they -- russell tice had already admitted that he was one of the sources. as i understand from reading, i believe james risen has said once or twice that there were about

we know that goldwater and tower had these minority views, but in the course of interviewing staff who worked for republicans staff who worked for democrats staff who were self identify as republicans or democrats, they said they thought tower and goldwater did a decent job. they weren't particularly engaged as many of the other members were, but that they certainly didn't try and stand in the way. if you look at any senate investigation, and you look in the appendix, you are going to find most of the time, there is a minority view appended to that report. it is a common practice. i think maybe we have stressed that too much. we know that one of towers ' staffers sort of worked to try to limit the investigation curtis smothers. unfortunately, he has passed away, so i can't ask him what his work was like or what he was tasked to do. likewise senator towers past. -- senator passed. but i think that if we look at the committee's makeup, we can learn a lot about a moment in the senate when there was a real bipartisan effort to change something that was very significant that had a large imp

goldwater was very unhappy about it and became energetic.timate 80% of the members of these intelligence committees are purely cheerleaders. porter goss might qualify or eddie bowlen, a person i worked for in the early stages. he once said to me calm down with oversight, we've had a lot of trouble having good relations with the agencies. for a while, we engage in cheerleading. a third category or four on my list is what i call the lemon sucker and i take this from bill clinton who once said all economists are lemon suckers. what he meant is they would come into the oval office and they would have nothing but bad news. the lemon suckers are those who see no value whatsoever in the intelligence community and i think a little of daniel patrick moynihan, all of us admire in many ways, he was over the top when it came to his criticism of the cia and actually wanted to close that place down if you recall. finally, here's the model that i try to espouse, the guardian, and this is a person who combines some skepticism that one might find in the lemo

but barry goldwater speeches were cold war speeches, and they were dead serious. >> he also gets into his personal story, michael, which i want to get to, but i want to point out that his military experience is a distinguishing factor among the republican field, isn't it? >> yes he's the only--rick perry was in the air force. today is the last day the last day that lindsey graham is a member of the air force. he's retirement becomes official. >> he has been in the reserves. >> he was in the reserves for a long time. he talks about that quite a bit. he served for a long time. i think that that is going to be a cornerstone of his campaign, distinguishing himself from others on the basis of foreign policy, and the question is, you asked stephanie is something if people will care enough about in the republican primary go but it is topical. we've heard sound bytes from rand paul, and rand paul michael, has been described as an isolationist. lindsey graham is on the polar opposite of that. he's an interventionist a military and caucuses often with john mccain on these issues. more military

we can do like george wallace or goldwater, we have to find a way to talk about race without soundinge -- he listed a number of things. tax cuts, forced busing, states rights as code language for talking about race. ronald reagan used it when he started his campaign. he started his campaign in philadelphia, mississippi. he never said the n-word, but he used the code words. and by being in philadelphia where suwanee, cheney and goodman were killed, -- today with the president is saying you have to look at structural systemic racism. that is what that young men meant when he said summit is try to take over and destroy my country. he had heard politicians and others saying the president is running the country, he's a socialist and a communist, medicaid, destroying the country. we raise the wages, destroying the country. only the willfully deaf cannot hear the racialized implications of that kind of rhetoric in a kind of policy, which is why i agree with the president that we have to talk about race in terms of systemic racism and situational racism. for instance, why is it of the 24 stat

so when barry goldwater voted against the civil rights bill and lyndon johnson pushed it the whole political makeup of the south changed. and so the republicans have been reluctant on this flag issue for a long time. john mccain said he was against taking it down during the primary when he ran down there for president, then apologized later for saying that. i think we're going to look back on this as an interesting test. who stood up before governor haley made her announcement. hillary clinton obviously did. mitt romney did. i thought that was a powerful statement he made. jeb bush issued a statement saying i took it down in florida. i hope it happens elsewhere. i think some of the other republicans who were quiet or silent really have to explain themselves. i doubt they will. but i think that said something about who spoke out when it was not as easy and who didn't speak out. >> you know when i was in charleston the day after this massacre last thursday and visited the church and talked about the last time i was wo our late friend i think that many of us saw the coming together of people ac

goldwater was one example where they did that and ronald reagan was the other and all of the other candidatesave been fom not nominated have not been the most conservative in the race. it would be helpful for him to make peace for the right but not indispensable for him to win them all over. in fact i don't think he can. >> you think it's smart for him to say out front i'm for common core, i'm for immigration reform and i'm not going to bend on that? >> he has obviously detailed positions with regard to those two things. if the people who are mad at him about those issues would listen carefully, not that hopeful about this, to what he has to say, it may alleviate some of his concerns. he has a lot to say on both issues. it's too simple to say he's for common core and for unrestricted immigration, which he's not. >> we have to take a bureaucratic. when we come back we'll discuss the major defeat house democrats dealt president obama on trade and with more u.s. troops on the way to help iraqis fight isis is this a sign of mission creep? does the president have a plan to beat isis. let me know o

when we were trying to nominate barry goldwater, we not only had enough people to fill the room, ande majority, but i personally know dozens, hundreds of people who bought the ticket to go to san francisco for the convention just so they could sit in the gallery and watch their delegate and make sure he voted right. that is the kind of commitment that we need to make sure that we are not stuck with another loser of a kingmaker candidate. [applause] all of those losers, made a spoke for them. we have to pick someone who is a real winner. who will grapple with the issues and overturn what obama has been doing to this country. the other victories we have had is making republican party pro-life. when i started out under nixon the republican party was prohibition -- pro-abortion. we made it pro-life. that was another struggle. our people were able to get themselves elected to the republican delegation and on the platform committee so that they could identify what the republican party is for. when the supreme court handed down roe versus wade, a lot of people said, that is it. the supreme

i sent my first paycheck $19 and some cents as a contribution to the barry goldwater campaign. i worked in republican campaigns at the national state and local levels for over 50 years and it sadens me to hear almost all of the republican candidates for president try to outdo each other in their hawkishness. based on the responsive' gotten i think it's a recipe for defeat if my republican party becomes known as a party favoring wars without end. all of our candidates try to convince people that they are like ronald reagan. president reagan once wrote, our troops should be committed to combat abroad only as a last resort when no other choice is available. reagan was certainly no war monger republican or a man eager to go to war. president eisenhower, one of our greatest military leaders, was another peace republican. he knew the horrors of war. unlike many modern day chicken hawks. he famously warned us at the end of his presidency about the dangers of an industrial complex. i think he would be shocked how far we've gone down the road. in his book "ike's bluff" evan thomas wrote

maybe it was a combination, barry goldwater, who became very anti-casey when casey was so disdainful of the senate intelligent committee as to the actions in nicaragua. >> and even when the executive does share information with congress or at least a limited number in this case it was just the two, two on each side, how can those be assured they are actually getting truthful information and how did you get information about these programs that perhaps wasn't being briefed to those four? >> this is when you get into the whistleblowers, i think. in my experience with oversight, it is absolutely essential that any staffer has to develop informal sources of information from within the agencies. they hate this, they absolutely despise it. there are rules that nobody can talk to congress except through the pr people or the legislative affairs. nobody can talk to the press except through pr. so the agencies hate it. i heard at one point the nro threatened to tap all the phones at the nro to find out who was talking to me. and the nsa was really upset also, to the extent that finally general
