hubert was quicker to press for peace than johnson had done. the democrats were bad although the economy was booming, there was government spending on increasingly expensive war in vietnam. everything on that part looked okay, the democrats were okay there. but the war is increasingly unpopular. humphrey finally separated himself from johnson's war policies in september of 1968. he was open to peace talks with vietnam. he wanted the american is a shun of the war in vietnam. he became a plausible piece candidate at that point. he appealed to some of the young people who were here. at the same time the afl-cio, labor, finally stepped up. a late help from labor helped hubert humphrey but also created the impression that the election was closer than it really was so the republican richard nixon winds and winds with 43.4% of the popular vote. humphrey had 42.7% of the popular vote. you are wondering, i know you are because you are quick in your head, where was the remaining 13.5% of the vote? that vote went to former alabama governor george wallace

humphrey right hubert humphrey wasn't even in the play but at the convention hubert humphrey comes up and all of a sudden we have a new candidate in 1982 these idiots that don't have enough so enlightened they don't even know that history we don't need biden get rid of him come in with another candidate but oh no we've got to have biden you know it's what is your take it's yes it's infuriating to me it's very well what's funny right now is we are seeing joe biden. kind of put on this facade right now because last last friday i believe it was may 1st he sends a letter to the secretary of the senate and he says ok secretary of the senate if in fact a complaint from terror read against me exists you have record of that please do or you can let's release it and let's see and people said oh wadia see if there was a complaint we would be doing that but the secretary of the senate had to come out on monday and say. i wouldn't be allowed to do this even if a complaint existed and to me it got me think of a man who was in the senate for 36 years he knows that exact he knows that she couldn't r

hubert humphrey had become the nominee, the party nominee by august as vice-president. there was another peace candidate, mccarthy, who also had delegates like kennedy's who showed up in chicago in august. you can see it's a free-for-all where the delegates are concerned. it's more of a free-for-all in many ways as you will see. because of the vietnam war, because of bobby kennedy's assassination, there were a lot of people who had come to chicago to demonstrate, to demonstrate against the war, to demonstrate against the democratic party, against lbj and then his stand-in, hubert humphrey. there were a lot of people on the streets outside of the convention in the hilton hotel, which is still there. the city made strategic errors. the old mayor had denied anybody a permit to spend the night in the parks or to be in the parks after 11:00 p.m. that was something of a problem. there were so many thousands of young people who had come. there were a couple groups. the national mobilization committee to end the war. there was the youth international party called the yippies. t

it was enormously funny because i had this colleague al hubert, head of the national economic councilvery intelligent, he's Ãbsort of sounded like slow minded guy from jackson tennessee, hiding the fact he had a harvard mba started a very young age with the private equity partnership at indianapolis that was wildly successful. he basically their strategy was by the last buggy manufacturers in america consolidated to make a lot of money and they did and he stepped aside to come in and serve as national economic council director. he had a really nice bmw. really nice. if you're at the white house are spending a lot of time in meetings and i had a meeting across the way from the west wing in the old executive office building and it ended early and i had a few extra minutes before my next appointment and was walking down the navy stairs across what's called old executive drive. the street between the west wing in the attic. the eisenhower executive office building. right by the entrance to the basement of the west wing hubert had parked his car and he left his keys in their so i got in it

what hubert believes and what he learned in progressive schools really was that if the worker makes more money, hill by his own car that he's making back and that will trigger economic activity. that's the same kind of talking here we stimulus today. but what happened is, so therefore, he exhorted business and business did what he did sort of like president trump exhorting now the authorities more exhorting than lost. sometimes he exhorted business not to drop wages. he signed on to laws such as davis bacon, which sounds almost forgotten but effectively that law was outward pressure on wages. unlike other down turns, in this downturn wages did not go down as they might have. therefore, what we're employees doing to compensate for wages? they could not afford to pay. they were rehiring fewer people or they are laying off more. i'm really paying well but i only have half my staff. so that's a big trade-off and that contributed to the terrible unemployment that we know is the great depression. >> that unemployment was really -- i think that's the point that certainly in our conversation bef

i don't regard the bureau of investigation and hubert as being patriotic by my definition. but i am delighted to find hundreds of thousands of pages of their records online. another tremendously useful resource, which i'm sure almost all of you know about his the library of congress and their chronic of america database with newspapers. this was before the copyright period kicked in the 1920s. many millions of pages from newspapers are a great resource. and of course, those of you are connected with universities and other institutions have some descriptions through your libraries. it has digitized millions of pages of newspapers. so there are a lot of things out there that are a lot more easily available than they used to be. and i am discovering new ones all the time. fascinating cases. i stumbled on when the other day someone told me about it. there was a clothing male in the state of georgia, which somehow or another someone in georgia found out that this company had a stash of old paperwork and records and so forth in its basement. and the georgia tech library people as

he called it the great game, and he beat democrat hubert humphrey in a tight election that year. as you can see, nixon was almost pugilistic as a president. he viewed himself as someone who needed to fight to stay on top. he battled constantly with congress as he thought to expand -- sought to expand his executive power. a great example in the book is nixon's aggressive attempt to a pound funds in order to thwart pieces of legislation tapped by congress that he didn't like. for example, in october of 1972, congress was forced to override nixon's veto of amendments to the clean water act. the water was becoming extremely important in the country. nixon refused to spend this money, he didn't agree with it. he defied congress, so ultimately, congress was forced to pass the impoundment control act of 1964 to control these sorts of abuses by nixon and his administration. similarly, in 1973, something we see a lot in the later chapters after congress learned that nixon had secretly bombed sites in cambodia without notifying congress, they passed the war powers resolution and clipped ni
