at the republican convention, folks like goldwater and reagan tended to oppose the refompls that dr.king was putting forward but of course ronald reagan as president of the united states would also -- would ultimately sign martin luther king jr. holiday into law. and on one of the anniversaries of that -- of that -- of dr. king's -- of dr. king's birthday, of that holiday in 1987 actually, i believe, president reagan makes the point that dr. king in exemplifying -- in exemplifying everything that is great and characteristic of the american struggle for freedom and equality and this idea that one man driven by conscious can make a difference for the entire country says in the context of his remarks that though many folks, many americans -- some americans certainly disagreed with dr. king in his time, that over the course of time dr. king had proven to be right and, you know, you can't help but seem to me that reagan may have been reflecting on on his own evolution in so saying. the point is as americans and i remember myself to be a philosophical student of the philosophy of nonviolen

barry goldwater himself was not intensely pro-life, but he did hold some very conservative issues. his views on the civil rights act. he certainly was a proponent of kind of a robust, staunch, stringent view of laissez-faire economics, and his foreign was anti-soviet and anti-communist. those were the three legs of the capital conservative movement. as conservative lore would have it, the unsuccessful nomination of goldwater in 1964 paved the way for reagan's mere ability. he almost knocked off ford in the 1976 presidential primary, and then ultimately was successful for years later in 1980. so the conservative movement takes a while to reach its pinnacle, but the fusionist, buckley-centric movement reaches its design it in the presidency of reagan. a legacy that continues to be debated today. some of our libertarian-minded friends point one of reagan's statements where he more or less says the very heart and soul of my conservative philosophy is libertarianism. he did say that. it is also true that he imposed tariffs on japanese automobiles to try and help detroit and the american

an initial nationally recognized and celebrated address at the republican convention -- falsely goldwater and reagan opposed the reforms dr. king was putting forward. ronald reagan, president of the united states, would ultimately sign martin luther king jr. holiday into law. in 1987, i believe. president reagan, who makes the point that dr. king, in exemplifying everything that is great and characteristic of the american struggle for freedom and equality and the idea that one man can make a difference for the entire country, middle americans agreed with dr. king in his time but over the course of time, dr. king had proven to be right. you can't help but say that reagan may have been reflecting on an evolution in his own sentiments in his -- so saying. we can use the term that goodwill in politics and activism and negotiation sets the stage for us to be able to put forward our claims for justice, our claims for progress in a way that gives us the chance, at least, to signal to the opposition that the we are in disagreement and though we are striving to express the true , we do so not in d

two men had met in 1964 at a barry goldwater rally in california. where ronald reagan was speaking and obviously ronald reagan would have been notable to people in california at the time due to being in movies. so paul ax salt and ronald reagan as respective governors of their neighboring states, california and nevada one of their big initiatives that they work together on was was really the conservation of the lake tahoe basin and lake tahoe the lake itself they formed what was called the tahoe regional planning agency trpa. and that was just that that was to try to stymie some of the development. try to make better water quality in the lake and and that kind of created a friendship that lasted basically for the rest of their lives the rest of their careers. in 1976 the the presidential election was coming up. so you have gerald ford running as the incumbent of the republican party and then you have jimmy carter who is running for the democratic party. paul laxalt again, like i said a minority within a minority there thought it would be a good idea

before he announced anything he'd find goldwater was running against him and 64 is out in the middlehe lake and could not be found. lady bird helped him, as you say in your book, all the way through when he was a senator. she would invite people home for dinner. this a 452nd tape you can hear her call him. and you can hear when is he coming home for supper but be sure to bring the bachelors with youhi when you come this is late at e night. i just wanted to end with this lovely thing. it just shows their relationship. so if we could end with the state. and thank you. >> i just wanted to say if you're alone to call the time i love you that's all. no they left at 3:30 this afternoon dear.

and also from the heritage foundation, jonathan butcher, the fellow in education at the heritage goldwater institute. heritage institute. good morning and welcome to washington journal. i want to start with a look at the data from the federal reserve and the amount of student debt out there for those who are dealing with student debt, but the larger viewership and listenership in general. $1.7 trillion in total debt according to federal reserve. the average individual debt is $32,000 -- the average monthly payment, $393 a month. the median payment on debt is 222 -- the number of student loan borrowers with growing loan balances as 47.5% and the number of borrowers who are more than 90 days delinquent is just under 5% and just for a snapshot of the average debt load of students with student loan debt nearly $30,000. harrington, how did that figure get so big to $1.7 trillion? guest: it is an excellent question. i think so much of it is that we have not kept up our investment in higher education. at the federal or state level. the pell grant has not kept up with a cost of college. we have --

thanks to goldwater nickels. much much greater extent. we're creating a joint force and achieving a leverage that's critically important. i think there ought to be a new hoover commission as there was i think in the 40s or 50s to look at these institutions and make recommendations. once we face in the world are not problems that are going to be solved by one nation. problems like proliferation of weapons of mass destruction piracy drug trafficking it's going to take us working with other countries and the current institutions the un with its vetoes nato basically oriented internally rather than externally in the problems aren't internal today. they're external last i was in college in 1954 and adelaide stevenson, no conservative gave a speech. to my senior class and he said he said the following. he said the power for good or evil of this american political organization is virtually beyond measurement the decision it makes the uses to which it devotes its immense resources the leadership it provides on moral is well as material questions

, we were able to achieve things that republicans have been talking about since the days of very goldwater. it's true. [applause] >> president trump taught us what republicans can accomplish when leaders stand firm on conservative principles and don't back down. that is exactly what we did every day. of the administration, we stood firm and did not back down. i like to say it was four years of consequence. four years of results. four years of promises made and promises kept. [applause] think about it: and 48-month, our administration achieve the lowest unemployment, highest household incomes, most energy production, most pro-american trade deals and most secure order and stronger military than the history of the world.

the when a group came in 1965 after the 64 election when i had supported the candidacy of of barry goldwater, i had always that my contribution. could be that being a performer and thus well known and able to maybe attract an audience, but i could support people and causes i believed in. never did i ever think that i would want to hold public office? and this group came after the party had been so torn apart in the dissension of that particular campaign. with regard to the governorship that the california party was so split. maybe we could have a hand and bringing them together and they kept emphasizing that i could win. and our first reaction was you know. don't talk. foolishness go find a candidate and i'll be very happy to do everything. i can to help him, but no that's not for us. that's not our way of life. well, they kept on and they kept on. until we couldn't sleep. and it seemed to be such a total change of our entire life. that finally i said what if they're right and what if the this is something and we wouldn't be able to live with ourselves if we say keep on saying no, so the dea

we have goldwater nichols which has enabled major joint operations. we don't necessarily have a joint capability acquisition, particularly in the area of software. i hoped that we might work with you and general milley and others on how to rationalize, if you will, the joint acquisition of things like software so we don't have silos within the military that are analogous to the silos that we had pre-goldwater nichols. is that something you would be able to work with us on? >> absolutely. i think it's critical and you have my commitment to do so. >> general milley, i'm sorry i didn't get my questions to you, but perhaps we'll have a second round. >> i'm okay with that, senator. thank you very much. >> thank you, senator king. senator ernst, please. >> thank you, gentlemen, and thank you very much for being here today and for your continuing service to our great united states of america. superior weapons personnel and technology ensured that we won the 21st century, but now our adversaries have adapted their technologies, they've improved their operatin

here you have a state, very goldwater, sort of westward sunshine conservatism for decades.ipped the democrat's presidential election and elected to democratic senators and there seems to be no broad sense that the republican state of how did we get -- go wrong and where do we get voters back? >> yeah. just to clarify, governor doocy's term -- >> sorry. >> nobody has said anything opposing this audit. i think it shows they are so out of touch with voters in arizona and, they are not focused on getting to work in addressing real problems. this is a distraction, a dangerous one. but of destruction nonetheless. voters are tired of all this partisan politics. >> arizona secretary of state katie hobbs, sugary running for governor in that state. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> it's one of the big questions as the fate of the american experiment hangs in the ballot, the united states senate. how do you shelf a problem like joe manchin? nchin? 100% stain removal, 24 hour stain resistance to lock in your whitest smile. crest. the #1 toothpaste brand in america. managing typ

so barry goldwater uses it extremism member that 1964 john f. kennedy usesoh it.martin luther king uses it uses it, john cage uses that. they all use it. that doesn't really mean anything it so we have terms likeke that today, it sounds good to say i believe in this. whether it makes sense or not. this is the term that term is onein of those things. but at the same time there are genuinely interesting i explanations of the concept of freedom what really means what it means about to be human being. those are serious and interesting conversations. >> this is i think why delving into the world war, my philosophical bias is coming through here, this is a fascinating way to pick up european influence on americans during this. how do you see that is having her really occurred to ensure this in some ways intellectual concept of freedom? >> think existentialism in the first for the period is very influential. the short answer to how that isbo possible this is the most important thing about this. as the united states after 1945 coming out of the. in the 30s is a lot of iso

barry goldwater urged republicans to offer a choice not simply an echo.ering an echo. they don't care about how much is being spent. they don't don't care whether we can pay for it they want to make sure the money is spent on heir priorities as well as democratic priorities. i think the voters deserve better than that. this is part of a much larger biden agenda to take us back to world war ii level spending, mike. i mean, the last time i checked we were not at war, let alone a war on the scale of what was going on 80 years ago. this is what this bill is really about. i don't think that the american public would have split the senate 50/50 if this is what they wanted make mike okay. to vice president harris going to the border tomorrow to el paso. let's play this clip and i will have you all respond. >> was it important for the white house to have her seen at the border before former president trump gets this next week. >> we had a discussion in the government about when important go to the border. >> she is going where it's not going to be seen active cro

here you have a state that's barry goldwater, the state of western sunshine conservatism for decadeselection and elected two democratic senators. and there seems to be no broad sense in the republican party or state of like where have we gone wrong and how do we get these voters back or am i missing something? >> you're not missing anything. and just to clarify the record, governor ducey is limited so not running for election, but nobody in the primary field has said anything opposing this odded. i think it shows they're so out of touch with voters in arizona, and they're not focused on getting to work and addressing real problems. this is a distraction, a dangerous distraction, but a distraction nonetheless, and voters are tired of all this partisan politics. >> arizona secretary of state katie hobbs will be running for governor in the open seat because the governor's term limited out. thank you so much for your time tonight. >> thank you. >>> one of the big questions is the fate of the american experiment hangs in the balance in the united states senate. how do you solve a problem

in this essay from 1964, in the wake of barry goldwater and the idea of the john birch society, he's writing about this, and also going back in history and writes about conspiracy in the 1850s. this is from a texas newspaper in the 1850s. it's a notorious fact that the monarchs of europe and pope of rome are at this very moment plotting our destruction. we have the best reasons for believing that corruption has found its way into our executive chamber and our executive head is tainted with the infectious venom of catholicism. in the '50s there's a conspiracy against the united states but it's from the pope and it's already infected the presidency. there are many things you can probably say about franklin pierce, but i don't think he was a pawn of the pope. also, communist. this is joe mccarthy speaking in the 1950s. how can we account for our present situation unless we believe men high in this government are concerting to deliver us from disaster? this must be a product on great conspiracy on a scale -- not just conspiracy, the biggest in the history of man and this is eisenhower wh

because it was barry goldwater, right? it was john rhodes. to your barr/sessions point, eliot richardson and bill rucker's house and people in the justice department who said, no, the constitution is more important than the passing, temporary favor of the occupant of the white house. that sounds very grand, but these guys did it in realtime. they broke with their party, they broke with their personal interests and put the constitution ahead of their personal interests and their party interests. that's not some hope to lose bipartisanship. it's not that, it's a real human drama. it was a close-run thing, but they did it. the question is now, is who are those republicans in the house and the senate and in the justice department, when the pendulum swings again, who will, in fact, stand up and say, no, the system is more important than my personal interests. >> if barr, sessions weren't involved in this, if they didn't approve this, then who approved the bugging of phones, the collection of data, phone data, from political opponents in the opposi

it boiled up in the presidential campaign of senator barry goldwater which ended in one of the worstdslide defeats in american history. it drove the educational aspirations -- the occasional aspirations of the libertarian party whose extremist platform suffered predictable but humiliating crushings at the polls. all of this defeat over all of these decades concentrated the strain, isolated its most persistent and determined elements, and added to it an emotional payload of resentment. one target of this precinct was the existence of government regulation. the libertarian party in 1980 ran on a platform of ending social security, ending medicare, closing the post office, undoing the american highway program, stopping public education, and eliminating all our public regulatory agencies. even the federal aviation administration that keeps planes from bumping into each other. this platform barely attracted 1% of the vote, an unsurprising but humiliating crushing. that humiliating crushing was suffered by david koch, libertarian party candidate for vice president and the party's major fun

the defense department made changes with goldwater-nichols. in the old days, you would build an air force base next to the naval air stations. two within 15 seconds of each other. mindless. just mindless. separate runways, separate hangars, controllers, separate security. it was the dumbest thing in the world. thanks to goldwater-nichols, much greater extent we're creating a joint force and achieving a leverage that is critically important. i think there ought to be a new hoover commission as there was i think in the 1940s and 1950s.the -- 1940's and 1950's to look at these institutions. the problems we face in the world are not going to be solved by one nation. problems like proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, piracy, drug trafficking, it's going to take us working with other countries and current institution and the u.n. with its vetoes, nato, basically oriented internally than externally and the problems aren't internal today, they are external. last, i was in college in 1954. and adlai stevenson, no conservative, gave a speech to
