this was hubert humphrey's humiliation. >> i stood and watched hubert humphrey tonight stand where heng, at the very top of the democratic party heap, my first thought was, some heap. the divisions in this party run very deep, indeed, and hubert humphrey who wants to be a healer for the party and for the country has very little time to heal the divisions in this party in terms of the november election. it's my judgment that hubert humphrey starts out an underdog. >> nixon could be gleeful about trumping his enemies and it gave him great joy to go to chicago to begin his campaign in the very place where the democratic party had been humiliated by a riot. ♪ stand up and let's strike the band up ♪ >> here comes richard nixon, the uniter, coming through the city of chicago like a roman emperor and being cheered by tens of thousands and harassed by no one. so it looks like this would be the fellow that can unite the country. ♪ >> humphrey's in an impossible situation. he's associated with the chaos of the anti-war movement because of what happened at the convention. he has this albatross o

hubert humphrey enters the race but not until april 27th.enator kennedy winning the california primary on the evening of june 4th and then tragically shot after midnight, dying the following day. hubert humphrey accepting the nomination on august 29th and richard nixon elected president on november 5th. let's go to fred joining us from reynoldsburg, ohio. >> hello, how are you? mrs. kennedy, my sympathies over a long time on the untimely loss of a wonderful person, robert kennedy. >> thank you very much. >> i did a study -- i'm sorry? >> thank you. >> i said thank you. >> you're welcome. >> i was age 23 in the years i've studied humphrey, the articles written he was a very loyal person so he wouldn't oppose johnson publicly, but i read material that says that they broke on the vietnam war and johnson stopped including humphrey in some of the briefings and he was really on the outside. i felt when i was witnessing this first primary that i would vote in that robert kennedy brought sort of a love and unity, there was a positive to it that i th

. >> hubert humphrey gained 15 points and we gained nothing in october.otes were coming home, all right. they went right past us and went to hubert humphrey. >> i think you and mr. humphrey should get out vietnam and some other questions. >> i think mr. humphrey is having a great time debating himself. >> the conceit behind the new nixon was that, that old whiny sad, combative loser is gone. >> now, despite numerous requests, nbc presents "laugh-in." something about it. but he's not saying what. >> i think we should get mr. humphrey in here for a sock it to me. >> sock it to me? >> difference in the campaign is that whenever possible the candidate is never in an environment that he can't control. >> get in there. >> the counsel to richard nixon was don't leave script. >> nixon makes the same speech everywhere he goes. all candidates do that. nixon is speaking on the issues of the day, he's saying there's a lot of things wrong with this country and he's promising to do something about it, he won't say what. >> my friends, i say to you, let's enlist the peo

with the electoral vote, richard candidate been a that hubert humphrey turned out to be? the way that bobby kennedy has portrayed,ade -- that it was far from inevitable in june 1968 he would become the democratic nominee and elected president in november. throughwould have come and done whatever he could have he is in or out. bobby was a little bit of a hamlet also. he wanted to run for mccarthy, o was marv a poet and -- more of a poet to go up against lyndon from thegot support afl-cio, and the unions started to organize on his behalf in the general election. that gave him a bump. when he declared essentially that he was his own man on t wih richard nixon's comments. signs in this campaign. some of them were not friendly. some were very friendly. but the one that touched me the ohiowas one that i saw in at the end of a long day of whistle stopping. i suppose five times the population was there and the dust, it was hard to see. a teenager held up a sign -- "bring us together." that will be the great objective of this administration at the outset, to bring the american peo

and it's only me who has won the primaries, otherwise hubert humphrey would have looked illegitimate to the voters, and obviously my father knew many of the democratic insiders because he had met and worked with them in the 1960 campaign, and as the attorney general and as a senator he knew what they were so he had a relationship with them and i think he could have made a pretty strong argument about what needed to be done. i think that it would have been very hard having won as many primaries as he did, he did beat them in the biggest california primary, i think he would have had a very good argument it would have looked bad for the democratic party to nominate hubert humphrey and i think it would have been a compelling chase. >> we're going to come back to the california primary shortly but let's go to glen joining us from pennsylvania. you're on the air. >> yes, good morning. my question is ms. kennedy, would you agree that every time the republican get in the white house we have chaos, mahem, and i appreciate your dad and bobby for their good intention and good human being, okay?

hubert's loss, lost us liberal support. i really think that if hubert had lived, it would have been much more difficult for kennedy to mount what was very divisive challenge. >> very, very interesting. ira, did you have a question? ira shapiro, the one and only. >> thanks. it is actually more of a comment unsurprisingly. six years ago i wrote a book about the senate, last great senate, coincidentally, those years were the carter years. and i was surprised to find that the relationship between carter and congress, which started out rather badly, actually changed in the three years, the last three years. so that carter, carter didn't like congress. he thought of them like the georgia legislature coming in. but he grew to understand that wasn't the case. at the same time he had members of congress, and particularly theha senate who were capable of stepping up to important domestic and foreign policy issues. so briefly 40 years ago, in 1978, if you look at one year, there were more accomplishments in domestic and foreign policy

hubert humphrey accepting his party's nomination. >> the pay cut my fellow americans, this is not the first time that our nation has faced a challenge to its life and its purpose, and each time that we had to face these challenges, we have emerged with new greatness and with new strength. we must make this moment of crisis, we must make it a moment of creation. (mrausapplause) as it has been said, in the worst of times a great people must do the best of things and let us do it. we stand at such a moment now in the affairs of this nation, because my fellow americans, something new, something different has happened. there is an end of an era, and there is the beginning of a new day. and it is the special genius of the democratic party that it welcomes change, not as an enemy but as an ally, not as a force to be suppressed, but as an instrument of progress to be encouraged. >> 1968, hubert humphrey the democratic nominee. michael. >> just as to that last caller, one of the ironies, you mentioned kennedy and the middle class, mccarthy did much better than kennedy among the middle class. a

hubert humphry says no, i won't. >> talk about the assassinations of martin luther king junior and bobbyve a civil rights icon, a social justice icon being killed. >> i think it was so profoundly devastating for everybody in the country who cared about those two men and it also ultimately disenfranchised many of the youth of america who held up so much hope with both of those men. >> david, you were one of those young people in 1968 as a teenager, you say the events of that year really had an impact on you in the career path you pursued. >> well, look, i can't -- it's hard to describe what it was like to be a young teenager in that time and, you know, i came of age in the kennedy era. i'm an idealest still and believe in the idealism the kennedys stand for and there was a feeling that something bigger than one person had died with robert kennedy and i remember being hoing home alone and seei bulletin martin luther king was killed and seeing the haunting tape of him talking the night before how he might not get to the promise land but as a people, we'll get to the promise land. i remember

was that a turning point for hubert humphrey?id that narrow the race between humphrey, wallace and nixon? >> when he declares a he's his own man? yeah, well, so nixon -- i mean, sorry, humphrey got support from, first of all, the afl-cio and the unions really started to organize on his behalf in the general election. that did give him a bump. but then when he declared essentially that he was his own man on the vietnam war, that he was going to support a total stoppage of the bombing of vietnam and essentially breaking from lyndon johnson, that did help him. i mean, you know, i think most historians would agree, and the polls suggested he began to close the gap. and so as we discussed earlier, the popular vote, the electoral college vote, was a blowout. nixon won it big. 301 votes, i think. but the popular vote was i think less than 1%. 43.5% for nixon. 42 and change for humphrey. now one of the reasons he was able to close that gap was due to the -- due to that speech. and the sense that he could bring back in, say, the eugene mc

. >> lehman, the vice president and the next president of the united states, hubert h.c party. >> when humphrey came in as a candidate, he wregard the as a johnson surrogate. >> i will run on the record of the johnson humphrey administration but will not rest on it. >> it was very clear to everybody that johnson controlled the party. >> president johnson will do what he can to help humphrey win the nomination and to see that senator robert kennedy does not get the nomination. >> who would be nominated by the democratic party wasn't necessarily determined by the primaries. it was nominated by the people controlling the levers of power that was lyndon johnson and his political machine and it was vice president hubert humphrey who would be the beneficiary. >> nevertheless, if mccarthy, kennedy amassed enough delegates through the primary process they might be able to put pressure on the democratic machinery. >> and the may 7 clinton primary is critical to the kennedy strategy of demonstrating to party leaders across the country that he was the one democratic candidate who

humphrey. >> hubert humphrey has the establishment behind him.bby has is the imagination of the american people, the idea he could restore the kennedy legacy and the kennedy dynasty. >> four days after johnson's announcement bobby heads to a campaign rally in indianapolis. on the way he is told that the reverend dr. martin luther king, jr. has been shot. >> when he arrived in indianapolis the authorities there asked him not to go. the crowd hadn't yet learned that king had been killed, but there were riots erupting elsewhere in response to it. and they were worried about his safety, and he insisted ongoing. >> the police tell him you can't go there. the mayor of the city says you can't go there, and he said, you know, i can go in there with my whole family and sleep in a tent on the street and be perfectly safe. and if the chief of police can't do that, that's his problem. >> he drives into the black ghetto in indianapolis. he jumps up on the back of a flatbed pickup truck. >> i have some very sad news for all of you, and i think sad news for all

hubert humphrey from my state and george akin before that. these weren't ideologues. but they weren't pushovers either. each knew where their party stood. each also knew the value of making sure the length between people who grow the food -- link between people who grow the food and people who buy food and made sure that link was strong. so let me be as clear as i can be. in my opinion, breaking up that coalition, ruining a partnership that predates all of us, is a huge mistake. ore than that, this closed and one-sided nature of this process that we've been through is something that i have to call out. it does not bode well for farm and food legislation to come. no party can do this alone. it's too big of a job. so as ranking member on the house ag committee, i want you to know that i am willing to come back to the table, but only when the majority has the ability to sit down and figure this out together. i was told on this snap stuff by the chairman that he could not negotiate it, it was non-negotiable. that's what got use in this problem. when we get to the point wh

we have our executive producer hubert rose and my fuss -- and my cohost. it is mother's day. we want to start there and wished all the mothers a happy mother's day. and since god could not be everywhere, he made mothers. we went our mothers to be blessed today and to be filled with love and all that they deserve. so happy mother's day. i also wanted to shout out to my friend troy belton. he is with good media entertainment. he is responsible for my guest this morning as he was back in february with donna lacey junior. the actor and comedian. i know this guest also will be stimulating and give us a lot to learn from his great gifts. we also have -- ahmat car. one of my favorite things is autobiographies and memoirs. i love people that have -- that tell the story. let's start there before we begin with your organization. >> i have been in radio for almost 20 years. 20 years next year. >> they call you the voice? >> yes. i don't know why. when i discovered that, i left here -- i am originally from the bay area. i left the bay area and went to los angeles to start my radio career

the way back when hubert psychology ehrman journalist and author of the documentary film i put in discussing what. is like in the eyes of the world so in your movie you highlight the beginning of putting this first term his visit to bundestag where he talked about russia not being an equal partner in the west eighteen years later and we're still not partners why do you think nothing changes in this regard . it's a good question i can find the answer about what i would start you remember before he spoke in the blender stock sink two three months before the first time he met george bush and there was this meeting. george bush said basically looked in the eyes in his eyes and got a sense of his soul you remember that i remember and i remember about cain said to . mccain said i looked in his eyes and that's all three letters k.g.b. if i remember this correctly that put it bush at the same time added that the so into is all this just direct and create interest for his country so. three months later two months later i think it was in the church of bundestag. it was an interesting talk but the main

nominating tonight, it's candidate for the presidency, that man will be vice president hubert humphrey. speeches are being made for senator mcgovern, then we have a speech for channing phillips of washington, dc, a favorite candidate for the black caucus of this country, there is 212 negros here, those that are not bound by primary elections are expected to vote their first vote for channing phillips. in the cheater, they are holding a caucus. hal is there. >> you are wasting valuable time. >> several hundred of the mccart -- mccarty supporters are opposed to the actions taken in the convention, the actions of the police and security agents against the deghts, they gather together and go fourth to the rostrum and they ask to be permitted to present a resolution, if not permitted to present the resolution, they said they will not kurn to the convention tomorrow, they will return tonight but not come back tomorrow. they are saying they will bring to a geunding halt, the entire convention, he was given a round of applause by delegates in the convention. >> has there been a suggestion that

these include igor of russia, robin cook of the united kingdom, hubert mccain of france, josh got fisher of germany, lloyd axworthy of canada, and of italy. they didn't stop there with the faces. they dubbed these -- this group, matalin and her dream team of foreign ministers. as you can see it engraved on the surface's tray. alison: madeleine albright is the first woman secretary of state. this is very much a gendered gift. we have her male counterparts, but it is a gift to a woman, as a secretary of state. as visitors come to the diplomacy center, i think that will be very apparent. katie: the art of diplomatic giftgiving involves trying to figure out who the person is. what are their likes? what they might be interested in? at the same time, what -- what represents me and my country. how can i represent my culture, the national resources, the arts and artisans of my country as well? i think this set does that's magnificently. we have actively been building this for many years now. we are at about 7500 items in our collection. this collection is truly unique to the nation. there is no

leading up to this election in which you had hubert humphrey as the democratic nominee, you had richard nixon as the republican nominee, and you had a character that i introduced one or two weeks back, george wallace. running as an independent. richard nixon emerges from the election the winner. nixon comes from california. i told you some of this last week. in 1968 he seeks to make the south and integral part of his .lection plan he talks about america. he talks about a silent majority. the people who are not necessarily protesting in the streets or on college campuses. what emerges with this appeal to law and order. this appeal to a constituency that often turned out to be quite white and quite southern. ultimatelyncy that would become the core, the bedrock of nixon's rise and success again in 1972. shows the outcome of the 68 election. you will notice that in wins a wide swath across the upper south and all the way out west. , up in new england, atlantic states, texas. he will left is the yellow. was running on a strategy nationally that took a lot of his segregationist talk from the

it would have been difficult, for example, for lyndon johnson to have done it or hubert humphrey, if he won in 1968. the democrats were under some much pressure from having lost china back in the 1940's. nixon was very good at seizing opportunities and running with them. too much of a fox on domestic issues. he cut too many corners. he let himself get caught. i suspect fdr cut a lot of corners on the way. i know lincoln cut a lot of quarters -- corners. in both of those cases, if they had got caught, they had good explanations for doing so. it is hard to see what the explanation what has been for the watergate break-ins, except short-term political interest, which does not make sense anyway because he was going to win that election by a landslide. into the, you descend psychology of grudges and maybe that's a deeply hedgehog idea that can override more sound thought. brian: you mentioned steven spielberg's lincoln. .ere is an excerpt [video clip] it will point you true north from where you are standing. it has no advice about the swamps and deserts you will encounter along the way. i

. >> this is a one-on-one with hubert humphrey in the oval office. >> the president had many one-on-one meetings. he would call up and say, come on down. the senator would come down. did not say much. a lot of yup and nopes. the president would brief him on what his plans were, on what was going on. a chinese junkie, a former marine from montana. great leader. very supportive, when he had to be. he would have one-on-one meetings. we had a lot of those. he had russell long down on tax bills, people down on national security stuff. this was a humphrey meeting. if i'm not mistaken, it is shortly before he went to china. he asked humphrey to go to china. they ran against each other, and there they are in the oval office chitchatting about issues that were important to the country. >> one of the biggest fights we had during that time was the mansfield amendment, as you recall. senator mansfield was very focused on asia, and he felt we had much too much of our focus and assets in europe. and he authored an amendment which got, i don't know how many signatures, but started with a majority in t

over the next hour and a quarter, we will visit the third day of the convention when vice president hubert humphrey was nominated for president amid dissent from anti-vietnam war activists on the floor. this includes reports of bloody clashes between thousands of protesters, police, and national guard troops in downtown chicago. walter: chicago, illinois, the convention of the democratic party, nominating tonight its candidate for the presidency.

almost won by hubert humphrey, ultimately won by richard nixon.a period of time when the country was on a knife edge. it wasn't clear what direction it would go in. the fact we survived 1968 should be a source of hopeful optimism for people. it was a tough year. >> is it overstating it to make parallels between '68 and the division we have in the country today? >> it is not stretching it. we don't know where the division, the anxiety of today will take us. but the country was divided, the country was fighting with itself. there was a lot of hatred in 1968. there was a lot of concern about our future, and there were a lot of people that didn't like the social and cultural changes that had occurred. feminism, they didn't like the civil rights changes. they wanted to move back to a different period. that was the national dialogue in '68 -- >> sounds familiar. >> -- and sadly we hear it again today. >> was there hope in '68 that we could draw on today? >> oh, at the end -- this is a four-part series. it is riveting. the last few minutes are about apol

that was 1968 and it was then try to pay hubert humphrey enough money to defeat richard nixon, and the upcoming election. let me turn first to mary beth. obviously this was neither the first or the last time that russian suck to directly interfere in our elections. how do you see this threat and more broadly please help us understand what active measures are in intelligence parlance and how they're working, please. >> sure. thank you very much, bryan, and thank you uci for the invitation. thank all of you for participating. i'll try to be precluded what ii would like to do is make four points just out-of-the-box and then i will give you a bit more detail to support these points. but first of all this recent press articles and media about alleged russian involvement in her most recent campaign, this is old school, many decades long espionage that ever intel officer, national security professional recognizes as something that's been going on for decades. the biggest differences are this is more aggressive than normal. this is using new tools, i a vy aggressive use of electronic tools and
