there was a come to jesus moment when goldwater visits nixon after election day. this is it. come january, there will be no money for this. we do not have the votes, so please tell henry to get it done. nixon referred to his relationship to congress as -- he would say i'm one step ahead of the share. -- of the sheriff. even though congress did not pass a resolution until after the u.s. troops were gone, congress was a powerful factor. it really was the thing that hung over nixon's head. it made it essential that he keep troops coming out. there are a whole bunch of areas that are different. there is immense tragedy that surrounds vietnam. millions of people died. villages, states, whole provinces decimated. we can't say, wasn't that great? no, it wasn't great. people teach this, when are willing to take some of the amazing risks people in this room talk, it actually can make things better. that is still relevant, even this morning, so thank you.

chuck alluded he wants to replace him with john connolly, but prominent republicans like barry goldwater would not let this happen. nixon and agnew are reelected in a landslide and agnew is the front runner for 1976. the bumper sticker reads "the spiro 1976." he is given the important responsibility of running the bicentennial, which agnew thinks is a loser of an issue. he wants something more prominent. but as watergate begins to unspool, agnew looks like he's in a good position because he is so far out of nixon's orbit, he has nothing to do with watergate. mcgruder is playing tennis with agnew when agnew asks him going what is going on. mcgruder says, my instinct was to be candid. it was our operation. we screwed up and we are trying to take care of it. agnew response, in that case, i don't think we should discuss it anymore. agnew new to stay far away from this. in 1973, agnew has his own problems with taking kickbacks while governor and vice president of the united states. these were largely off of contracts in the state of maryland where he got a percentage. it came in brown paper b

president lyndon johnson spied on goldwater's campaign, signing off on wiretapping his opponent and goldwater's airplane and using a c.i.a. spy to obtain advanced copy of goldwater's strategies and speeches. president barack obama refused to provide documents to congress related to fast and furious. his unconstitutional recess appointments were unanimously struck down by the supreme court. he used national security agencies to lie to the american people about benghazi to win the 2012 election. he spied on reporters. finally, it was the obama administration that committed 17 serious violations before the fisa court to spy on trump campaign associates. despite these clear abuses of power by f.d.r., j.f.k., l.b.j. and obama, republicans did not impeach. why? because the framers did not want a low bar for impeachment. they wanted congress and the president to work out their differences. when i asked professor turly in a judiciary committee hearing if any president could avoid impeachment with this low standard, he said no. i yield back. mr. collins: reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman f

democrats running as a reincarnation of franklin roosevelt, republicans running in the shape of barry goldwater. no longerhe two sides resembles their modern templates. guest: the two parties completely realigned during the 2012 election. barack obama won with the new deal coalition in 2008. he wisely understood that it was time to reshape the alignment of the party. he focused on women and minorities and young people. with the caveats that he needed class.ough white working hillary clinton sort of dropped the notion that you needed just enough white working-class or she just assumed that percentage would carry over from obama to herself. it did not. she lacks the ability to connect with those voters. calculatedde the mistake of not going to those areas like ohio, lake erie, kenosha,nia, like wisconsin and tell those communities that she had their back. book -- with few exceptions, these locales are most opinion leaders have never been -- you made reference to them just a moment ago -- trump only carried three of america's mega counties. gopp crawled out of that mathematical hole in the forgott

and this is in tucson, flag staff and cotton wood, this is in cresticate, arizona where barry goldwaterhis 1964 presidential campaign. a dozen across maine, a thousand in louisville, kentucky. the group leader from the group there said hey, that's amateurs. what we're seeing is yes, this is blue states, city centers and it's much bigger than that. this is in urban areas and rural areas. this is all over the country as people showing up in numbers we have not seen for a while, saying that they want to see their representatives hold thissed a minstration accountable. >> really appreciate it. >> this movement is made up of people who raised their hand. go to indevisible.org and join us. >>> and when we come back elizabeth drew will join us. she wrote extensively about the processes against president nixon and clinton. after the nixon impeachment, washington was triumphant the system works. triumphant the system works priority. i would declare a state of emergency on day one. congress has never passed an important climate bill, ever. this is a problem which continues to get worse. i've spen

worse than what nixon in with for sure i lived a lot of support for nixon in one reads about barry goldwater supposedly going and lling him you know you don't have the support that all of that operated very i one would 3rd time so definitely historic day in our country i'm on my way he on trying to bus and yeah it's a thing everyone's talking that's how you know yo're in history in the making. >>and back out here live so many people you saw there willinto give their take on all of this obviously san francisco, a very beral spot, not as many republican live in san francisco j r stone kron 4 news carl wright, jr and as we've been this is the 3rd time a president has been impeached. >>by the house in us history called for celso the ney and joins s now live in the studio. she has been looking ats really perspective here how many times this has happened who'sbeen invoved one president almost was impeached, but then resign right before tell how important this day isn the grand scheme of things really s rt of history me there are only 2 other people in this position before you mentioned richard nix

scott broke with the leadership and once they broke with leadership, it is -- senator goldwater, we do not have that, so i think there say lot of people saying, who have been around who followed the way the senate works, recognize that you need to have people say that -- to repudiate the president and mcconnell. and that's why i think that no one is taking this seriously in the stock market >> yeah. it seems to be quite a long shot that the senate would convict. that's been the assumption the question i hear is will any republican senators vote to convict and therefore will there be a majority of the senate doing so, get a romney or collins or, a number -- or a number of the other senators. >> always the dark horse possibility that mcconnell makes votes anonymous. people can abstain we'll watch for all of that. before we get to the senate, obviously, a few more steps that need to happen in the house. now what the calendar may look like from here on out. >> well, you did hear chairman nadler there say that the vote is expected to happen in judiciary committee later on this week. perh

barry goldwater had john burch society expelled from the conservative movement suggesting eisenhowergain. it is collective amnesia and sick to give it a platform. liz: i want to point out, steele dossier according to doj-ig full of exaggerations that steele was misleading. multiple layers of hearsay on hearsay, taken? jest, sources undercourting. christopher, thank you. come back. >> thank you. liz: what historians now know that president trump is accomplishing more than any other president in recent memory. it could change the country in a big way. the story next. >> legal historians say no president in recent memory has done more to change the u.s. judicial system then trump. let's bring an author and conservative commentator kristen tate, your reaction. >> it's exactly right, no president in recent history has done more to reshape the judiciary then donald trump, he is still at the bench with most of the intelligent and conservative men and women look at the supreme court, he had a significant impact and replace the more moderate conservative justice kennedy with rhett kavanaugh.

barry goldwater, high level senator from arizona who of course had run for the presidency himself wentn't have the votes. you're going to lose. and the handwriting was on the wall at that point. it was so clear that richard nixon had only one thing to do and that is why on the evening of august 8th he gave a national address and on august 9th he made it true. >> thank you very much. >>> our special coverage continues. new information about the vote coming very soon. are excited about the potential of once-weekly ozempic®. in a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than 7 and maintained it. oh! under 7? (announcer) and you may lose weight. in the same one-year study, adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. oh! up to 12 pounds? (announcer) a two-year study showed that ozempic® does not increase the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack, stroke, or death. oh! no increased risk? (announcer) ozempic® should not be the first medicine for treating diabetes, or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do

and goldwater says there's only four and i'm not one of them. >> it wasn't a small compartmentized thing. now they're going after one bad thing he did. >> but the key at that time i think was that the republicans decided in the house judiciary committee to vote in favor of an impeachment article. and right now it seems as if it's very split by party lines. so nixon was unable to hold the republican party in the house and ultimately unable to do so in the senate. today it appears that the president is able to hold his republican party. >> and it shows that the big challenge, i think, is that they have to educate public sentiment about what is an abuse of power, what does it mean to violate the rule of law, what is bribery and an impeachable oh phones. why are we impeaching him now? that's what lincoln said, with public sentiment, anything is possible. without it, nothing is. and that country was educated under nixon and it came out fine in the end. ford said our national nightmare is over. >> presumably the opiniorepubli are doing this is because they recognize that trump was the base of

part of president lyndon johns president lyndon johnson, and using the cia to obtain copies of goldwater strategies and speeches. president barack obama refused to provide documents to congress related to fast and furious. he used national security agencies to lie about benghazi to win 2012 election and finally it was the obama administration that committed 17 violations before the fisa court to spy on trump campaign associates. despite these clear abuses of power, and the framers did not want a low bar for impeachment. they want to congress and the president to work out their differences. when i asked professor turley in a judiciary committee hearing if any president could avoid impeachment with this low standard, he said no. i yield back. >> madame speaker i remind the gentleman that president obama provided thousands of pages of information to congressional requests that attorney general holder and others testified, unlike now. now i yield one minute to the gentle lady from illinois. >> madame speaker, today is a solemn day in america and it's a day that none of us hope for. but the e

. >> with the candidacy of senator barry goldwater, the republican party is on their way back.nows, one day it may even go forward. >> the insensibility was more tame in a sense. more controlled. more dry. it was witty but wasn't really challenging the power structure. >> our top story tonight, president ford is finally over that stubborn week-long cold -- >> stubborn week-long cold! >> before "saturday night live," everybody was so schmaltzy, "saturday night live" was the first show that came along that had a sensibility of people who had grown up on tv. it was making fun of tv. >> this idea satirizing the news, we needed it. vietnam was going on. we'd just been through watergate. the idea we could laugh at the people making the news is a pretty nice formula. >> let's take a look at the top story, shall we? >> anwar sadat buys himself an inflatable child. this story and more coming up on "weekend update." >> "weekend update" initially was about irreverence. it was about a middle finger to the powers that be. >> for on the spot report, let's good live to lorraine newman at the

. >> i go back to goldwater nichols. you know, the united states in the past has made strategic decisions to underfunds, defund one service, the army and up funds another service, strategic rocket forces during the eisenhower administration because eisenhower said this is deeper and what's more, is needed to compete so it is not as though that has never been done but in the current political climate it is extremely difficult and i agree with ryan that simple ship numbers are not a full proof expression of power but i am searching for a better one and i agree without any question that simply counting the legacy ships we have right now, ones that will be included in whatever number is decided on hens limitations and faults that we should be looking if we are going -- if we make as much of a move towards unmanned vehicles on the surface as well as in the air those should be encountered at the same time. >> we are going to build extra large manned and unmanned surface vessels, those are diesel submarines without people in th

>> chairman nadler is thinking of a republican party that had members like howard baker, barry goldwaterckefeller republicans. they no longer exist. with that as a fact, you should not have expected republicans to follow the facts and abide by their oath. instead they're following donald trump and pledging an oath to him. it's a different republican party than jerry nadler was talking about. we should not let this unfortunate demise of the republican party veto and stymie what is the correct thing to do for america and what the founding fathers dictate. that is impeachment of this president. >> but he made that statement last november when the republican party was then what it is now, congressman. he knew the make-up of republicans in congress and still said you have to have this if you want to move forward with impeachment. and the polling hasn't moved at all. >> polling has moved. that's not true. 70% of americans favor this impeachment inquiry. 50% of americans believe he should be impeached and removed from office. >> okay. >> 7% are undecided. that's a pretty bad position for the pr

richard nixon, his party was beginning to fragment at this point and it was bearry barry goldwater who said he's not going to get through this without being convicted and removed. this is the first time we've seen this combination. >> he wanted to make obama a one-term president so for him to defend the republican president in this way, not so surprising. i want to ask you about what we learned from yesterday's hearing in terms of the republican strategy going forward. a lot of talk about joe biden yesterday. a lot of talk about hunter biden, much like the president. should we look at this -- looking even beyond the senate trial that republicans are going to make biden really and ukraine and his son's business dealings in ukraine a real focus in 2020? >> i think republicans were reasonably happy with now things went for them yesterday. they engaged in a rather limited way on the facts of the matter. they talked about the process and whether it was unfair. they managed to raise a lot of accusations against joe biden who was the front-runner for the nomination to oppose president trump n

clinton and moments of fears at the white house they would show up at the doorstep much like barry goldwater and tell bill clinton it was time to step down, moments where what bill clinton worried about the most is the democrats. this time around i feel like the parties are even more solidly in their camps than we saw in those two previous impeachments. the republicans and democrats are not moving. they have their assigned roles and not planning to shift out of them, even a handful of them. >> and one of the other new developments in the last 24 hours, matt miller, is lef parson. the prosecutors in new york at sdny came back to the federal judge and said, basically, we don't trust this guy. that he had an unreported $1 million payment in the whole september issue with rudy giuliani when they were supposedly working with rudy giuliani on behalf of the president of the united states. he had a $1 million unreported payment from a bank in moscow and that having that much money available to him, they no longer trust that he won't flee. clearly did not now count on him as a cooperating witness. >>

. >> out with barry goldwater, in with jeff van drew.barry goldwater who went to richard nixon and said there weren't enough votes. it is just van drew, the first congressman to switch parties over impeachment in our history. another historical reference. in our first 36 presidents articles of impeachment were brought up against seven of them. since 1974 every president except gerald ford has had articles of impeachment brought against them and we wonder why our politics is so divisive and angry. >> nadler says it's about polling in his district. the chairman. >> what he is reacting to is public polling that shows he can't get renominated. his electorate in his district. this is not political. do we stay a democratic republic or do we turn into a tyranny? if the answer to either of those questions is it's okay we won't have a democracy. >> sandra: that was his takeaway. >> it's true. van drew saw a poll he showed he wouldn't win the democratic primary having nothing to do with impeachment and why he isn't running as a democrat this time.

. >> that goes back to goldwater nichols. you know, the united states in the past has made strategic decisions to underfund, to defined, one service and to up fund rate funds for another service. strategic rock forces during the eisenhower administration. it is needed to compete. it is not as though that has never been done. in the current political climate , it is extremely difficult. i agree with brian that simple ship numbers are not a foolproof expression of power. i am searching for a better one. i also agree without any question that simply counting the legacy ships that we have right now as ones that will be included in whatever number is decided on has limitations and faults and that we should be looking at, you know, if we make as much of a move towards unmanned vehicles on surfaces as well is in the air, those absolutely would recounted at the same time. >> we are going to build extra large diameter unmanned surface vessels. those are diesel submarines. diesel submarines without people in them. why would we not coun

johnson, directed the central intelligence agency to place a spy in barry goldwater's campaign. that spy got advanced copies of speeches and delivered that to the johnson campaign. without be impeachable conduct according to the other panelists? >> i assume so. >> how about when president johnson put a wiretap on goldwater's campaign plan? would that be for political benefit? >> i cannot exclude anything under the definition. >> i'm going to go with a few other presidents. congressman deutsch informed does fdr put country first. franklin delano roosevelt, when he was president, directed the of to -- to conduct audits his political enemies, namely he elong, william randolph hearst, hamilton fish, father coughlin. would that be an abuse of power according to the other analyst? >> i think it would all be subsumed into it. >> how about one president kennedy directed his brother, robert kennedy, to deport one of his mistresses as in east german spy? would that qualify as impeachable conduct? >> i cannot exclude it. >> how about when he directed the fbi to use wiretaps on congressiona

my argument is that -- where is the moral voice of a barry goldwater?o counsel someone like donald trump that to do the best for the party would be to resign. save the honor of the republican party. i think that a lot of your viewers from the south, they are southern baptists. their persecution of catholics , whereuth of the border the majority of mexicans, guatemalans, nicaraguans, and salvadoreans, are catholics, they have an anti-spanish hispanic bias and it shows. is hasty generalizations, ad hoc and ad hominem attacks of insulting people's character rather than sticking to the facts. their logic is full of fallacies. host: thank you for the call from auburn, new york. c-span 2020 coverage continues today, in new hampshire with joe biden. john kerry joining him again hampshire.ashua, new you can watch the event with the former secretary of state and at 11:15 eastern time here on c-span. later this afternoon we are in iowa with senator bernie sanders speaking to college students in indianola. that gets underway at about 1:00 eastern time. it's all pa

pennsylvania, the leader in the senate republican leader, house leader rhodes, the former nominee, bare goldwatere to the white house and said, you have to go, totally a partisan battle. >> it's interesting to look back and see what has taken place, when you look at president richard nixon famously resigned from office before impeachment proceedings, take us back in that moment in history? >> that's how i was describing, the republicans triggered resignation and that's what you're missing today, this is total partisanship and history will see it that way. >> that's what you said earlier. maria: quick break, the video is going viral this morning, live concerts and cash, check this out elton john top earners, why 2019 was such a successful year for music, we are coming back in a minute. ♪ do you recall, not long ago ♪ we would walk on the sidewalk ♪ ♪ all around the wind blows ♪ we would only hold on to let go ♪ ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ we need someone to lean on ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ we needed somebody to lean on ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ all we need is someone to lean on ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ everything your trip nee

the moment -- the end came when a group of senators led by barry goldwater and including a senator for whom i worked as a teenager wallace f. bennett of utah went to the white house and said it's over. 1998 was highly polarized but even then a significant number of democrats voted for the impeachment, significant number had earlier voted for the inquiry. at the end of the day the senate was not going to be moved and it didn't happen. this time around we have been polarized right from the get-go not only in public opinion but also in the congress. >> bill: okay. i've been making the observation throughout the morning. it doesn't seem to have risen to the level of seriousness that you had in 1974 or even 1998. i don't know why. and if i'm right it is a sad day when you have impeachment for -- before congress, which is one of the most important votes that they will take, and what does it say about the american people as they look at this? is the party too divided? >> i have an explanation why it's different from 1974 and even from 1998. 1974 you had two investigations, the irvine commissi

i also secured funding to upgrade the barry goldwater training ranges. the annual defense bill int about protecting the people who protect us and this year's bill reiterates to the men and women of our military that we have their backs. it provides the highest pay raise in a decade and protects military families from greedy contractors who provide their tenants dangerous and unlivable base housing. these contractors who act more like slumlords than landlords will now be required to implement a tenants bill of rights. we give military families more power in filing disbeauts and -- disbeauts and ensure that families have advocates on base. i'm particularly pleased to also see 17 of my 18 reforms to combat sexual assault in the military are included in this bill. earlier this year i disclosed that i too am a survivor of military sexual assault. after i did, i charged the top leaders of the pentagon to immediately identify ways to improve the investigation process and support to victims. my provisions increased the number of personnel investigating sexual as

field, and we wanted to convert it into a national air and space museum, so with the help of barry goldwater and some other influential politicians, we were able to get $40 million appropriated and so this building was built. i worked here for longer, about six years longer than i worked in the space program, as a matter of fact. >> michael collins, i asked you the first that you wish people would ask you and you said about your salary, how much? >> oh, zero. i was kidding about that. no, we got paid whatever our salaries were in the organization of which we belong. that was an active duty i guess colonel in the air force at that time, so whatever air force colonels -- i was probably overpaid considerably. >> michael collins, the command module pilot for apollo 11. we thank you for your time today. >> nice to be here. >> coming up, we will hear from teasel muir-harmony at the air and space museum, she is the author of the book apollo to the moon. we will have that conversation up next. first, the national air and space museum recently unveiled the refurbished spacesuit. we got a chance to ta

president lyndon johnson spied on goldwater's campaign signing off or wiretapening his opponent and goldwater'sfwused to provide documents of fast and furious. unanimously struck down by the supreme court. he used national security agencies to lie to the american people about benghazi to win the 2012 election and spied on reporters, finally it was the obama administration committing 17 serious violations before the fisa court to spy on trump campaign associates. despite these clear abuses of power by fdr, jfk, lbj and obama, republicans did not impeach. why? because the framers did not want a low bar for impeachment. they wanted congress and the president to work out their differences. when i asked professor turley in a judiciary committee hearing if any president could avoid impeachment with this low standard? he said, no. i yield back. >> gentleman from new york. >> madam speaker, i remind the gentleman president obama provided thousands of pages of information to congressional requests that attorney general holder and others testified, unlike now. i now yield one minute to the -- to the gent
