he had known hubert humphrey, vice president for a long time because graham's ministry actually started minneapolis when humphrey was mayor. i mean, really, the stars were aligning for graham to be important. he knew who was in retirement. still, he dies in march of 69. so he is his week in 68 and living most of the year at walter reed hospital in washington. but his endorsement is still extremely powerful because eisenhower was a really popular and beloved figure. so graham in 68 knows all of the key people involved. i would say almost an average of 20 years, 68. he's a unique figure in the country who can be a liaison between them and messages and see what they're thinking. he even knew george wallace, the third party candidate in 68, and thought he called in his diary, called wallace. one of the greatest orders of the 20th century. his ability to sort of attract followers. we'll talk more about wallace and kind of his anti-elite, anti-state push, my candidate, which i think both parties have mimicked since then, but especially on the republican side of the aisle, because of donald tr

and you writing the country around the current office told her that it hasn't happened since hubert humphrey birth when he lost the f d r and the 1930. and because of the, as the americans is not quite sure how do you deal? well, a former president, the one who was president of the lots of insurrection against the government after he left, but to who is holding all these criminal charges against them and who have all these, those single charges against them. when it comes to your supporters, i think it was a mistake to try to label them raises to label them xena, phobic labeled and hateful, etc. because it'd be in reality, all you're doing and force of them further away from the body problem with it. certainly ality, they have many issues and comparable latino voters of african american voters loading from voters around the country and which we have a uniting message as opposed to further inviting moses. i think that's one of the places where democrats often fail and be able to talk to those sorts of voters who are let you go wrong. but, you know, for most of the states and outspoken fun, mc

spring of the election year. and the democratic candidate for the post of vice president was hubert humphreyn who, in general , was serious and worthy in many respects, but the fact that he was vice president and johnson was an insurmountable political burden for him, he was defeated in elections, nixon became president, i say this because the best and most effective... response to the provocations that, from my point of view, russia faced, is successful military actions in ukraine, this is from my point of view, the most convincing, and well, it seems to me, not only the most convincing, but ultimately potentially the most effective answer to what happened today, i ’ll make a reservation right away, koran georgievich with his... this is the topic with which he began his presidential message to congress, and of course , if he were to fail in ukraine , it seems to me that politically in an election year, i don’t want it to be devastating for him, but i’m not afraid to say it would be painful for him. korin georgievich, your ideas. well, firstly, i categorically agree with you, i absolutely, l

, but then again abortion had been legal in all states since lyndon johnson was president and hubert humphreysident. and then in 2013, barack obama became the first sitting president to address planned parent hood but he did that at a conference in washington, d.c. at a hotel, and not one of their clinics. biden was in milwaukee, wisconsin, yesterday, and trump won michigan and wisconsin in 2020, and biden flipped them back. these are critical states. >>> trump will be in court for the classified documents trial, although he doesn't have to be. while presidential laws do say presidential documents belong to the people and not the man, presidents get to decide which papers count and don't count. it's not uncommon for defense attorneys to try and get their client's case thrown out, sometimes within unusual legal theories. meantime in georgia a judge there may decide if prosecutor, fani willis, can continue to act in the trump racketeering case. as you will recall, a defendant in that case accused her of a conflict of interest by hiring a man she was in a relationship with. there's talk in washi

many would argue there that he rubbed votes from hubert humphrey but might have -- that might have gottenit the vote got richard nixon spitz -- was in a narrow win there. show variations on the same theme that up third-party candidate in the spoiler. will you buy that or given the fact that rfk polls tend to 8-19% certainly a lot of these battle ground states it wouldn't take a lot more than that to win one of the several -- if you're on the balance. >> yeah. i think is the reader show that the parties are definitely spoilers and we've seen that throughout the years have certainly in without any mention ross perot. but overall this year is a little bit different. i do think that kennedy has a shot if you can get on the ballots and get, you know, is pulling around the threshold of -- that the presidential commission on the mate as we don't know if that will -- that's 15% mackeigan do that and a lot of people are looking for an alternative so it's an uphill battle demek we all know that but if you can get on the balance and get in to a debate, who knows what can happen. and politics is very

high and the candidates, frankly, we're not beloved by the electorate than that case, democrat hubert humphrey and republican richard nixon. but a choice had to be made. you could argue about whether the right choice was made, but it's those kinds of stakes that exist in 2024. people have to focus on that. they have to get away from their inability to accept what has been obvious for weeks and months. this is a rematch. this is a rematch. people have to accept that and come to terms with it because it's either going to be joe biden or it's going to be donald trump in the oval office and those are the third party candidates may will steer the election to one of these two candidates, but they're not going to be in the oval office. it's really important for people to focus on that fundamental fact yeah, any warning signs for either of these candidates that are really standing out to you today after the results last night? >> well, there are loads of warning signs for our society. of course, the greater tendency toward violence, which is building once again all the elements are there and we all ha

that's what happened in 1968 when democrats nominated hubert humphrey, even though he didn't participate in a single democratic primary. and following that nomination, the democratic party created what was known as the mcgovern frazier commission that really pushed the nomination process into the hands of voters and they tried to make it a more democratic process. and they've continued to do so since 1968. and i think that having a candidate that is not biden-nominated at the convention when no other candidate participated in the primaries, or at least not a candidate that got any significant support would be a mistake because it would be a move away from democratic values. and the will of the people. and that's particularly concerning in the time we are now where democracy is in a fragile state as it is. >> yeah. and look some of those names that have been floated have been quick to shoot down the possibility of that even happening at all. and so that is likely a strategy to project that joe biden is the person that democrats are sticking behind. i want to jump to the republican side re

. >> to me it was hubert humphrey. last night he relished the give and take. down this wall and do whatever the held you want, in two sentences, that showed the demise and decline on what was an internationalist republican party and has become an irresponsible isolationist party. how the party of reagan, the grand old party, what it's come. i thought he finessed the middle east issues as well as he could. essentially supportive of israel at the same time saying the israelis use force carefully, let the aid in. we have to move towards a two-state solution. sympathetic to israel's needs and rights to respond to the horrific attacks of october 7th. i thought on the foreign policy side he was the commander in chief last night and the contrast with the isolationism on the other side could not have been more stark. >> the contrast between him and his predecessor. jonathan lemire you're telling me that a lot of americans really, really inspired by what he said, said last night they had their biggest fund-raising haul? >> yeah. the biden campaign let us know their 9:0
