the maneuver force was getting back to goldwater nichols. it became clear in discussions we had three separate combatant commanders about it. obviously the pacific. i'm pretty confused on the east coast between the second fleet in the new nato joint command and you calm, and when ships go from second fleet to uconn. it's confusing. that one away, then we took second fleet. anyway, these geographic lines of combatant commanders is that it requires re-examination, along with other things and goldwater nichols. i thick i strayed from your initial question. >> that's a great point. the idea of the maneuver forces that you would have a multi-carrier force freedom move through the endo pacific. in the idea was to divorce that from being locked down and having to operate within a particular geographical constraint. so you can have the ability to train and practice. rep. luria: in your model, it does not consist of aircraft carriers. it consists of carrier strike groups. some different discussions on models in the four structures that were look that

nicole and her attorney from goldwater institute.d they want to silence you. will you stop? >> absolutely not. this litigation is frivolous they have no standing. they have a personal vendetta they have a personal vendetta against me they are politically motivated because i submitted public record request to see how they are teaching gender theory and critical race theory they thought it would go away now they pull all the tricks to try to silence me. this is not the first time the nea targeted mee'tnc . they had a private emergency meeting to put my name and picture on slides and characterized me as an attack a on public education. they are trying really hard to silence me but i am not scared i have a goldwater institute behind me it is public concern subject to public disclosure and every pair and has the right to request this informationig every parent should you can request the communications of annie a a members and read their e-mails to see exactly how they are implementing critical race theory maybe we'll seein they have b bee

goldwater's acceptance speech trumpeted the wildcat ethic. let me remind you that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. having defeated their arch rival, goldwater and his acomp lices assumed control. in one of the most impressive was the great canadian oil sands project built in 1960s by j. howard pugh in partnership with the evangelical premier of alberta at the time whose friendship was shared thanked to billy graham. kind of a triangulation here of politics, religion and oil. in 1952 pugh would invest $250 million in the the oil sands. this would be the largest private investment of its kind in canada at that juncture. 54,000 acres out of which they wanted to draw oil. the project began in 1964. at least it was christened in 1967. the opening ceremonies was a great celebration full of prayer and singing almost like a revival. this venture combines drama and science, man against nature, daring the risk of large financial resources. great canadian oil sands stood as a tribute to man's inventiveness and the signal that the dawn

a lot of parents, and i understand the goldwater institute, you rock for doing this. parents stick their head in the sand. they don't rock the boat. sent comfortable. get through it. what you say to them given the fact that, your client, they are trying to stick her with a $74,000 record retrieval bill! access to information that she is a taxpayer and funded, 24k to get the records. what? >> you can't make this stuff up. it's truly reprehensible. the public records laws are intended to open government up so that all of us know what our government is up to, they were never intended to be flipped on their heads and used to attack citizens seeking public information. parents just trying to figure out what their kids are learning in high school. you put your finger right on it, laura. this is an intimidation tactic by the unions. $300 billion union that apparently is nothing better to do than go after mom's trying to figure out what their kindergartners are going to learn. >> laura: the nea has a massive war chest to try to fight the parents with kids their teachers are.

goldwater's vanquishing of rockefeller in the gop primaries gave pew great pleasure, so too goldwater's acceptance speech which trumpeted the wildcat ethnic. i would remind you that extremism in the pursue of [inaudible] -- having defeated their arch rival and his vision, they seem to control at least overtime of the republican party. meanwhile, they continue to build economic empires. oil production and refining centers designed to secure oil reserves for the continent. and one of the most impressive was the great canadian oil sands project, built in 1960s by jake howard pew in partnership with the evangelical premier of alberta at the time, whose friendship was shared thanks to billy graham. so a kind of a triangulation here politics, religion and oil. in 1952, pew would invest 250 million dollars in the athabasca oil sands. this would be the largest private investment of its kind in candidate at that juncture. 54,000 acres of muskeg out of which they wanted to draw oil. the project began in 1964. it was christened at least in 1967. the opening ceremonies was a great celebration full

>> that barry goldwater meeting has already happened more or less publicly.he state assembly said it is clear to me that he does not have the votes to survive and impeachment vote. and we are going to move forward quickly. that is a paraphrase but that is what they are doing. they've given him until friday to turn over any materials that he wants to give them. after which they are going to prepare to cast a vote. that can happen as soon as i week now. look, i think probably the governor's family, matilda cuomo, his mother who is revered and respected. the widow of our former governor. there are people in this world that he has to answer to. family members in particular who i think might have the wisdom to tell him to take a different course. because what is happening now is not working for anybody and most of all it is not working for the public. was a very good point. as you are talking about the business that remains undone that is so crucial to new yorkers. make you so much. >>> up next, new revelations from congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez . the chi

political stage with his a time for choosing speech in support of republican presidential nominee barry goldwater. in 1966 he ran and won his campaign for california governor. next on reel america, ronald reagan's critique of president lyndon johnson's policies in this speech called "the myth of the great society." the film was donated to the ronald reagan presidential library and the exact date and location of his remarks are unknown, but the library believes it was in new york in 1966.

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 deal

circuit quite a bit and did my own speeches and this led to my making the speech on behalf of berry goldwater that was played on national television and as a result of that speech, a group of prominent party members came to me before the 1966 governor race in california and claimed that i was the only one that could bring the party together, it was quite divided and split up and win the election and i thought they were crazy and i said, no, you pick someone else and i will campaign for them, do that, well, they kept, pretty soon nancy and i couldn't sleep. well, what if they're right and we live with ourselves if we keep saying no. finally, i made a proposal to them that i would go out on a circuit throughout the state of making speeches and come back and tell them whether they were right or wrong. and i came back and told thankee that i thought maybe they were right so i finally gave in. it suddenly dawned on my i might win and that was the end of show business. >> before that, in hollywood, you encountered the evidence and strong left-wing inference. how important was that to changing your

and this reflects, he early in life had been a barry goldwater republican and had slowly moved left and became more and more of a progressive. but journalism seemed to hold a great draw to him, a great interest to him in its ability to maybe change the world. randy had somewhat of a naive view at times. he thought that if people just had more information, if they just understood more, they would accept more. that people would be more willing to bring gay people into the fullness of life and include gay people in everyday life. and he thought as a journalist that was part of his role to bring that information to people. i think he found that that was often a struggle, because it wasn't quite so simple. he left college, and his professors told me he was one of the most talented majors in the department in journalism, and he was in a class with ann curry from nbc news. but left unemployed, worked as a freelance writer for years, struggling to find full-time work because he wanted to do it on his terms to be an openly gay person. and news rooms at that time didn't have openly gay journalist

karen: after barry goldwater's landslide defeat, nancy reagan's baptism into life as a political spouseldn't have been rockier. she bumbles around and gets on everybody's nerves in the governors office. by 1976 campaign, where ronald reagan decides to take on a sitting republican president in the white house, gerald ford, just an incredible undertaking. and by the way, he almost beats him for the republican nomination. you also see nancy reagan's shrewdness and sophistication really grow. sheet really begins to step into her own right as a politician. she said -- shed a greater light there had never been a campaign with so many what ifs. if we had stayed in new hampshire a couple of extra days when we thought we were going to win, so many things that she would go over and over and over again in her mind. she did say that campaign sticks with her more than any other. four years later, 1980, ronald reagan is not all that sure he wants to make another run for the white house. and it is really nancy who is telling him, you've got to do this, this is your moment. susan: when they arrive in w

party has been trying to appeal in varying degrees of shaded since 1968, at least '64 with barry goldwater of our voting. they were trying to get the southern democrats who had been voting for racist southern democrats. >> and donald trump came along and just took all of the shading away from it and just made it extremely clear. he is one of them. >> yeah. and it's remarkable. maybe it shouldn't be remarkable, quite honestly. but it's disheartening, shall we say, just how effective it is, just how appealing that is to so many people to have been given that permission. and it's no accident that practically 100% of the people at the insurrection were white people and it's no accident that the republican leadership embraced donald, has embraced what the rest of us might view as the worst things about him, which are the worst things in america because they know, they have a very narrow path to stay in power, and it is by appealing to the worst instincts in the american people. >> another passage in your book says, donald is an instinctive fascist limited by his inability to see beyond himself

i'm sure you wouldn't quote berry goldwater. i want to know if you see it the same way?he umpires sort of on the battlefield of democracy. it's the scientists, and the doctors, who are vouching for the safety of vaccines and mask wearing. it's the police officers who protected democratic and republican lawmakers in and a republican vice president who trump supporters wanted to hang. it's any institution that can be corrupted. when governor cuomo resigned earlier in the week, it elicits different reactions from the two parties but it is the sort of symptom of a functioning party. the only person republicans have punked or whose head they called for was liz cheney's for refusing to be corrupted by the big lie. can you speak to the broader phenomenon of attacking the umpires? >> exactly what we're experiencing. the losing team didn't like the result so trying to attack those charged with ensuring the game is played fairly. you know, the recognition of the connectivity to that attacking those who are promoting science, data, facts across the board from issues of climate chan

democratic party could be the, you know, i guess to borrow a parallel here for older viewers, the goldwaterard ixon. who can have that telephone conversation and say are you going to put the entire new york democratic party, the entire state of new york and the entire covid response on this, in this situation or are you going to step aside? is there anybody he might listen to on that front? >> you know, it would have to be somebody with great influence over him. i'm wondering, we all are, are his own aides having these conversations with him or standing by him. the rebuttal report they put out yesterday in advance of what the attorney general had released, it made it clear that they are digging in their heels and ready to go to war. i think as long as his closest aides and confidants are saying stand strong and chance he hunkers down and hopes for the best if there is an impeachment. >> have you gotten a whiff of his own staffers, you know, sometimes in situations like this, staffers walk away. this is going to be terrible on my resume. i have to get out of here while the getting is good. h

conservative advocates of gun rights wanting to endow the federal government that would have made barry goldwater have a stroke. the idea that once upon a time many, many gun regulations were done locally or at the state level, we have actually moved -- it's not been the liberal side of the spectrum that moved us there. it's the conservative side have moved us away from allowing localities to enact a variety of different firearms regulations, which is ironic from the historian's point of view. what its significance from public policy is a complicated question. once upon a time, we did have at built to say, localities will do this, states will do this and the federal government will do that. we have slowly been eroding local control. interesting, there's a pendulum swing. we see the rise of the second amendment sanctuary counties as pushing back against national federal or state regulation. it makes the subject of the second amendment endlessly fascinating if you are writing about it. you guys who have to make laws, my heart goes out to you. it's complicated. >> it's not always of great use when y

when you look at reciprocity you have a conservative holders of gun rights -- what made very goldwatert basically have a stroke. so the idea that once upon a time many, many gun regulations were done either locally or at the state level, we have actually moved. it hasn't been the liberal side of the spectrum that has moved. the conservative side of the spectrum has moved as a way from allowing localities ten activity of our arms regulations. which is again ironic from a historians point of view but the significance of public policy is a complicated question. once upon a time, we did have the ability to say localities will do, this states will do, this and the federal government will do that. we have slowly been a road in local control. interesting. there's a pendulum swing. we are seeing the rise of sanctuary counties as another example of people pushing back against national, federal, where state regulation. so it just makes the second amendment endlessly fascinating if you are on the sidelines writing about it. actually they don't have to make laws. my heart goes out to you because i

the house could even get to impeaching richard nixon, members of his own party, including senator goldwater, went to the white house and said they could no longer support him. on august 8, richard nixon flew away in a green helicopter, the first president in american history in all of the presidents we studied, to resign in disgrace. that begins another dramatic moment in american constitutional history as we move into the presidency of gerald ford. it lasted only less than 2 1/2 years. president ford's pardon of richard nixon becomes one of the seminal moments in the history of the american presidency. i do want to ask you, just before you read this chapter about gerald ford, what was your general impression of him as a president, as a historical figure? joe? >> i feel like he is not so much a bad president. he just didn't really have a chance to be a president. he was also kind of piggybacking off of nixon. he was essentially just a filler. he wasn't really elected to fulfill the office. he came in at the end of the vietnam war. he didn't really have a chance to do anything good. i wouldn

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

nick sole solis joins us now, with her lawyer, director of national litigation at the goldwater instituteories and curriculum are being taught to your child. the school is saying not only can't you, you have to fight us for it, now it will cost you. >> exactly. at any point the school can just decide to be transparent. they can send out an email to the whole community saying this is exactly what we're doing with critical race theory and gender theory, this is how we integrate the values in the classroom. they're capable of doing the right thing at any point. they're constraining to a formal legal process. they're telling me i have to pay thousands and thousands of dollars to get these answers. it really raises the important question of, is public information really public when it costs $75,000 to get access? pete: john, help me here, if it's a public school, we're paying for it, we should have access to what is being taught yet why would a parent have to pay $75,000? what are you helping with here? >> you are exactly right. and look, open and transparent government shouldn't be a controve
