bush into a moderate herbert hoover. a majority of republicans voted for it, including bob bennett. that was the end of bob bennett's career. but when president obama was elected, shortly thereafter, and came up as its first legislative initiative to have a stimulus package, suddenly, a republican caucus was out for a scout it was said, we will turn this into obama's waterloo. the senate republican leader said the republican senate agenda is to defeat obama. this was three years and 11 months before the 2012 election. nobody in the republican caucus, except for olympia snowe, would talk to the democrats about the bill. i had been a child during the 1930 depression. i did not want to see another depression. my father, who was a russian immigrant, in 1930, found that he called it -- we live in wichita. my father packed up the family where he had a sister. in depressions, that is what families do. they moved in with one another. to survive. those were really tough times. i had been there. it was plain the vote was going to be highly precarious. it turned out to be just that. that singl

he ran for president in 1928 against herbert hoover at a time when it was a really bad, really inconvenientbe two things. irish and catholic. >> irish need not apply. >> he was both. >> he faced a huge wave of discrimination, anti-catholic and anti-heirish. the anti-catholic sentiment was so large that people accused him of moving the holy see to new york just to have the pope in his back pocket. >> wow. >> the al smith has become this opportunity midway or toward the end of the campaign to sort of laugh things off. you see both candidates in the same room, which is bizarre off of a debate speech. >> not yelling at each other. >> not yelling at each other and laughing at themselves, which is so great. that said i much prefer this to some of the other really silly, stupid president tricks that we see them, you know, put through during election season. such as this great moment from earlier in the primary season. >> we this thing called this or that to learn a little bit about the penalty of the candidates. leno or conan? >> probably leno. >> elvis or johnny cash? >> oh, that's really tough.

remember, herbert hoover won in 1928 because of what was deemed to be good performance as commerce secretary overseeing the response of the mississippi river flooding. the next year, huey long wins governor ship of mississippi. and in 1994 benefitting from a huge earthquake but the opposite is what we have seen in new york city, chicago, and washington where you're perceived to be ineffectual. >> in the middle of katrina when president george w. bush, the most recent president, acted like he was completely out of touch with reality when he said that his fema director, michael brand, you're doing a great job brownie the federal government has one responsibility, mainly to protect the country and then congratulated the crown. >> you have to remember, too, when hurricane katrina made landfall, george bush was at john mccain's birthday party. you have those pictures of him enjoying -- they were playing the guitar and hanging out and then his administration's really horrible response which is ironic because george w. bush's brother, jeb bush, is still popular in florida because of the ee fish ens

al smith incidentally lost to herbert hoover in the 1928 election so al smith was not the first catholic president but he was the first catholic nominee for president. this dinner, which is a benefit for catholic charities here in new york city, has ended up becoming a really important thing in american presidential politics. honestly, the biggest reason it is really important is because of its timing. there are other dinners like this. the gridiron dinner in washington or the alfalfa dinner or the correspondence dinner. there are other dinners that are fancy politics proms, essentially. where you get a sitting president or very high-level politician showing up in tuxedos and gowns and telling jokes and sharing stages with people they otherwise would not be sharing stages with. that happens. right? there are those events in washington and elsewhere around the country. but this one that you are looking at right here is different. because this one happens now. a couple of weeks before the election. and it's always timed like that. every time. and traditionally, both presidential candidates

it-it was really old-fashioned republican conservatism--herbert hoover conservatism, you might say, or calvin coolidge conservatism. neither of those two presidents have ever been icons of mine. so i was aloof from them. now in the case of the wall street journal, it w--that was, to some degree, just happenstance. bob bartley read the public interest after it was founded in 1965 and, apparently, he got very interested in it sufficiently to write a piece for the journal, which--whose title i well remember, as you can understand why. it was: irving kristol and friends. c-span: and bob bartley is today the editorial page... >> guest: yeah, bob bartley was then... c-span: ... boss. >> guest: ... in the washington office, a reporter for the journal. he then became editor of the editorial page. today he's editor of the wall street journal. in those days, he--once he became editor of the editorial page, he asked me to write regularly for them, which, of course, i was happy to do. and that began a relationship which has lasted--and a friendship which has lasted to this day. what other connecti

running for the presidency and he came out and sent a big defining difference between him and herbert hoover was that he was really going to use dhaka government to help people and get us out of the great depression. so, no pressure there. [laughter] i was nervous before, but then hearing that, whatever. that's a piece of cake. >> i get a lot of laughter. every time the title was mentioned, people chuckled, and chris matthews said today and he chuckled and said that is just a funny title even though he said it like nine times it's funny every time. that's okay. and i realized that there are three actual meanings to the title, and i am only getting to talk about one for the most part. the first is sort of the title itself. what's the matter with white people? as what's wrong with them, why are nine out of ten sell five in the five republican voters today white in the country that is 62% white? that's a question that i have been thinking about a lot. i've been writing for so long and back in the day this he is for a long time i've been struggling with exactly why that fdr coalition fell apart

for my great-grandfather, it was herbert hoover. for mitt romney, it was mitt romney. [laughter] it is no secret that governor romney is a very wealthy man. he is also a very generous man. every year, he gives at least 10% of his income to charity. [applause] not so fast. [laughter] the charity is the federal government. [laughter] seriously, i have seen governor romney's de generosity to his church. i must confess. we invited him here to convert. [laughter] [applause] really, governor, your father was from mexico and you have five kids. are you sure you are not catholic?

[applause] we re

and herbert hoover's election, the american people voted out of office after a single term, only three elected president and the carter, george h. w. bush -- all of them were successful businessman before there were president. guest: again, it goes to the point i made earlier about, so much of what is happening on the stock market, what is happening in the business, in the private sector has very little to do with government. i think they understand that as well. lot of what is going on out there is happening regardless of who is in the white house. at the same time, but you are expecting is for the president to give a vision about what the what the economy to look like. with the one in terms of the role of the global economy. we have had that to date. many different views of the role of government. and the role that government should play in either regulating, restricting, however you want to say it, business and regulation. but at the end of the day, these two candidates -- one of them is a point the president and they will be reduced by economic winds out of their control. host: the

look at herbert hoover and look at harding a chicken in every pot, a car in every garage. with harding it was cock cox and cocktails. he was running against james cox. it was prohibition. >> today is different. one thing to walk the walk and talk the walk. obama is a great orator and gives a great speech. his phrase "romnesia." we've lived in obama nation for the last four years and the i wills of our society runs deeper and deeper. we're in economic quicksand and when governor romney worked with an 87% democrat house and assembly state senate he had to reach across the aisle with an extended hand, not a clenched fist. he actually walked the walk. when it comes down to trust and true change, to get oust out of this economic quicksand it will be president romney that will make it happen. jon: it is, marjorie, it is coming down to the economy don't you think? when people go into the voting booth they're going to say i think mitt romney can fix this economy or i trust president obama, i guess to do what he said he was going to do four years ago. >> yes, you're right. when you

my friends, the last president to raise taxes during tough economic times was herbert hoover, and he practiced protectionism as well, which i'm sure we'll get to at some point. you know, last year up to this time, we've lost 700,000 jobs in america. the only bright spot is that over 300,000 jobs have been created by small businesses. senator obama's secret that you don't know is that his tax increases will increase taxes on 50% of small business revenue. small businesses across america will have to cut jobs and will have their taxes increase and won't be able to hire because of senator obama's tax policies. you know, he said some time ago, he said he would forgo his tax increases if the economy was bad. i've got some news, senator obama, the news is bad. so let's not raise anybody's taxes, my friends, and make it be very clear to you i am not in favor of tax cuts for the wealthy. i am in favor of leaving the tax rates alone and reducing the tax burden on middle-income americans by doubling your tax exemption for every child from $3,500 to $7,000. to giving every american a $5,000 ref
