how quickly did hubert humphrey jump into the race? and by the way, did hubert humphrey know that johnson was going to drop out? humphrey had what is one of the only ones who had had advance notice. humphrey learned that morning humphrey was on the way to mexico for a diplomatic trip to sign a treaty on behalf of the united states. and so humphrey found out that morning when he was on the way to the airport, and he was just beside himself. humphrey was was planning to to run again, to be johnson's running mate that year. and it so imagine being humphrey where you you're aware of this knowledge you can't say anything to anyone. you can't declare your own candidacy. and you still need johnson's support no matter what your next move is. so within days, humphrey started to organize a campaign which was largely composed of johnson people. but that violence you alluded to earlier, first, the assassination in early april, dr. martin luther king and then later of senator robert kennedy in early june. humphrey just never really got off to a goo

peter: what attracted you to hubert humphrey in 1968?tuart: hubert humphrey had his office right next to mine. i knew his staff. i got to know him. he was a brilliant speaker. had been a courageous civil right fighter going back to 1948 at the convention. in fact, caused the dixiecrat walkout. i had great empathy. he was warm, friendly. charismatic in his own way. he did speak a lot and too long. his wife once said hubert, to be memorable, you don't have to be interminable. but i became his research director. i was there from the first day of the campaign when he announced at the fay flower hotel in washington to the hotel in indianapolis when the returns came in and we barely, barely lost. but he had the great disadvantage of a divided democratic party. kennedy was assassinated. there was the big anti-war movent and i was in chicago for that 196 convention with mayor daley and the police and the tear gas with the demonstrators and it ripped the party apart. after the convention he slowly began to build support up and here's a story that

that is hubert ivory, rev. dr. hubert ivory. we were married in fresno. >> your dad was there. >> my dad did it, we had so many ministers, baptists, christian methodist, episcopal, everything possible. that was a wonderful time. >> let's see the family, the daughters. >> that is with rocking lost with my youngest daughter and my older daughter and that's the first time i shared my painting publicly. >> wonderful, wonderful, how old are they now? >> 30 and 26. >> wow. >> they are not little girls anymore. >> i remember when they were little girls. that's amazing, i'm glad. thank you. we will have another segment and look forward to one more poem that she has and one more picture that we will see. >>> with rev. donna ivory , we talked about creating the new in the last segment of her book and i wanted her to read a poem , that i think would be so important during this christmas season in which we look for the new in the christ child and dancing with pain has been her story also, so this poem expresses that, sure that with us. >> t

he was a hubert humphrey, a minnesota liberal. to move the party to a more market base closer to the center, and that did produce a national victory within eight years. i am very wary of anyone who reads a single election as the obituary of or the perennial rebirth of any one party. the favorite example of this is after the 1964 election when lyndon johnson did so powerfully well against barry goldwater, james reston wrote in the new york times that the republican party would be out of power for a generation. within 48 months, i think the republicans won 60 seats in the house and ronald reagan was elected governor of california. so there is a push and a pull in american politics and that's fine, right? that's what i want, is i want, i believe in that push and pull, i believe in having an arena of disagreement and dissent. to have that arena requires an infrastructure of a common understanding that there are rules that must be obeyed, and that is the question that confronts the nation at this hour and will for the next 48 months, i

he said to hubert humphrey, his vice president, i am not qualified to be commander-in-chief. find sending these boys over there to fight and die so difficult. that was exactly the time when he was initiated -- initiating the first marines to land on the mainland in vietnam and begin the bombing campaign. think about that. he said he was not qualified by these -- he did it anyway. nobody said to him, mr. president, let's get out. it was a tragedy. question about it. >> y he put online two hours of audio interviews you did with robert mcnamara. at the end of the audio interview is this. peter: robert mcnamara died in july of 2009. the history of the vietnam conflict will always be a tragedy for the u.s.. as well as a devastating time for vietnam. bob was able to explain to the extent he could that it would never be enough. in his closing session with us, he said we participated in those decisions and we acted according to old. we made our decisions. yet, we were wrong. terribly wrong. we owe it to future generations to explain why. >> our guest has been peter osnos. we apprecia

is it because that just too damn stupid cereal or is it cockiness in huberts because it's, it's really both. it's really both. they are engulfed in their ducks, out, and then not ready to even when you listen to what has been said in the us. just money, not right. not even to speak about friends. because uh french, some french newspaper. they have been completely silent about what happens. yeah, but if you listen to the doc signs and not receiving the in the united states, for example, getting jump here and the, the, the, the, the black 1st black, lesbian women. and so, yeah, sorry, i'm just saying that's what that's right, but that's what i do a video. and she's not the only one that unfortunately. yeah. but the spokesperson for the warehouse said that the or nothing is going to chance that they will, they will, they will keep the west of will keep doing what they are the ma'am, you know, so i just, i was talking to them. i completely flushed out, you know, mutual friend from the pentecost as soon as security, i've listened and we're talking about a hell of a home, a hell of a have a

it's not because of this hubert. it's not because of the american empire. it's about this clash of ideas is being contested every day. i should say finally, because i will stop here, this is all very theoretical i could get into somehow the manifestation. this is not competition the united states and her allies asked for. there is a revisionism among the authoritarian the autocrats in the world. there is a bandwagon among the authoritarian to depose their system, their idea, their vision on others. this is again not an imperial democracy. it standing up for what we believe in and out of revisionism, regression and imposition the prc, russia authoritarian order that we think is deeply. excellent unpack those this pris the broader vision. start with challenges. the biden administration see as the most potent threats to democracies overseas? and along with that why does that benefit u.s. taxpayer? >> okay, there are so many answers here. limits are the few examples. i gave you would be good theory it never going to bring it down to real foreign policy that we

attending the convention that information went to johnson he wanted to know all about it in 1968 after huberty received the nomination for president lbj had the fbi tapping his valance because johnson wanted to know if humphrey was loyal to him including regarding the vietnam war. surveilled is in the fbi the irs the cia and other federal agencies did you know any of this? probably not. now you do. what about barack obama? oh no. the hill newspaper i write this and on freedom of the press 2016 the "new york times" reporter who subpoenaed twice in the 2010 indictment of jeffrey sterling under the espionage act of 1917. he refused to reveal his sources but eric holder and barack obama were going to force him they were going to try. he was subjected to subpoenas responses rejected by the supreme court. threat of imprisonment by the obama regime until it was decided he would not be forced to testify at all. even jake tapper at the time said the obama administration use the espionage act as a by demonstration used it against donald trump or the espionage act to go after whistleblowers who linked t

hubert humphrey, walter mondale , al gore, joe biden, every single white guy who was democratic vice president gets nominated, and the first time the democratic party would not do it is for the black and south asian woman. that would have really gotten to african-american women who would have been much more supportive of harris, he might have even seen a greater drop off in black support. there were no great options. >> is a striking comment. i don't know they have spoken, but the last we checked, a few weeks ago, pelosi and biden still had not spoken, listen to what he had to say when asked about her comments. >> i think that finger-pointing, the blame shifting, that will not do us any good. he has had a tremendous presidency, his record is great. the economy is humming like no other economy in the world. and so, people don't feel like it. maybe they didn't. the question is, why didn't they? i don't know that joe biden is responsible for people's feelings . >> i think it is pretty safe to say that people did not feel that way. but clyburn was someone who wanted a mini primary proces

the case of american civil war hubert van tuyll augusta university. thank you. thank you. war >> thank you. journalists faced physical danger and suffered problems, reluctant to manipulative sources. the latter was a huge issue for the journalists of the american west. there are good reasons to study this. electronic communication has simplified transmission of information but amplified the ability to falsify. additionally, civil wars have become the most ubiquitous of warfare. reporters face special difficulty as the civil war is marked by chaos and pressure for loyal to one side or the other. during the civil war, western journalists were far away from almost all of the fighting. time and space were enemies. an army newspaper put it well, as we are out of the land of civilization, and as far as hearing what is ing, we might as well be in the heart of the atlantic ocean. let's examine how they solved these problems and whether distance hampered or helped their quality. almost all reporters dealt with the east. the situation in the west outside of the states on the mississ

it reminded me, unfortunately, of what hubert humphrey did with lbj in 1968, where he he just wouldn't separate enough on the vietnam war to reach a lot of people who would have been his voters. so in the end, uh, you know, that interview on the view was particularly unfortunately, where kamala harris couldn't name something she would do different than biden and the people of this country sadly, you know, have become disenchanted with biden no matter how many successes. so this is going to be i think, part of the history the campaign needed to create respectful separation from biden needed to show the american people passionately that we would do something different and that never happened. >> yeah, that does seem to have been a critical moment. lauren tomlinson, do you think there may be perhaps a small acknowledgment in those remarks by david plouffe that it would have been tough to overcome the momentum that trump had regardless of how well the harris campaign had been run yeah, i don't think that this was a question necessarily of how well the trump campaign or how well the kamala

>> well, you know, democrats as a party love vice presidents, whether it's walter mondale, hubert humphreyho did win. they had a tendency to nominate vice presidents because they typically own the political machinery. now, i don't think you should take much of this very seriously, because obviously, no one else is running right now, and the chance they will give somebody a second nomination or a second chance after losing is pretty unusual and happens very rarely on either side. but that doesn't mean that she couldn't have a good political career out in california where she probably has pretty good potential. david: yeah, although once again, i mean, she had such a high profile position over the past few months that it's hard to see even people in california changing their views. julian, you wrote a great piece in the new york post where you say the problem with democrats right now is they are double ling down on what didn't work. even on immigration and i'll just quote from your piece. you say democrats pontificated on the virtues of democracy but seemed to be defying the clearly express

the senate republican leader everett dirksen got together with the democratic floor leader hubert humphrey. senator dirksen said, senator humphrey, the republicans will join the northern democrats and then you will have the votes necessary to break that filibuster. the filibuster. the deal was struck that night to break it within 24 hours of maryland's decision to reject wallace and a few weeks, the filibuster was broken. after 75 days and and then within weeks, president johnson signed the civil rights act of 1964 into law because of the courageous stand that the people the state of maryland took in that race. thank you, gary. well, well said. yeah, it when you read the book, you see that senator boucher ran into this reservoir of racism in maryland. i think that caught him in a lot of others by surprise. and there are a number of really nasty and threatening letters that are that are in the brewster archives that john included in the book to try to portray just how ugly the situation was. and i think because brewster i think all people alice by ten points which is a pretty significant wa

against minnesota senator hubert humphrey, humphrey is on the liberal side of the democratic party. and he's sort of a place holder for the real contenders against jfk, who will be lyndon johnson, senate majority leader from texas, stuart simonton from missouri and start of a candidate and not a candidate, adlai stevenson the ff candidate in 1962 and 1966. at the start of the political season humphrey is 2%, but the candidates coalesce for humphrey to go against kennedy in wisconsin and virginia. kennedy wins in wisconsin, but it's closer than he would have liked. he has to go on to west virginia where he places the religious issue head-on for the first time in a major sense and he does very well there as well. >> this question has been sent in, name withheld from charleston. the roman catholic church's position truth versus error assumes a right to discriminate against protestants in some countries where the catholics are in the majority. do you agree with the church's reported attitude where protestants are in the minority they shouldn't be permitted equal status. >> i wholly disa
