i always felt for example in '68 that humphrey was the strongest candidate. he could bring the liberal wing together because of his civil rights record. bobby i think and others don't, i think we would have beaten bobby handily. >> but you beat humphrey. >> we did beat humphrey but it was very close. >> why do you say he was the best candidate. >> when the democratic party came together, it was almost twice as large as our party and he gained 13 points in october alone. i was out in breaking out and everything else. and we heard, we were down 43, 40 in the harris poll. at the end, we thought we were going to lose. >> i think bobby would have spooked nixon. nixon won't have known what to do with bobby. that's my thought. haurd? >> what's the question? >> your witness. no, we want to move around here. howard, your sense as a reporter how important teddy was as a punching bag for the republicans all those years. >> i think he was very important and the amazing thing and the important thing is that he didn't mind being the punching bag. as pat said, you know, the

he was a protege of hubert humphrey.ought a lot of thought to it. as far as vice presidents, he was the heartehardest to pin do. al gore was a very passionate advocate for the promises that he worked on. even before clinton picked him, he had consulted on environmental policy. luckily for them, clinton and gore had different interests that they were passionate about . clinton had not spent that much time on environmental policy. he was happy to give up vice- president gore some running room on that issue. i think it might have been more difficult if he had two guys who were done on the same issues -- who had worked on all the same issues and had a different promises. it worked out quite well for us. >> [inaudible] one thing that we have not mentioned that i think is worth noting since we all came out of the white house, is the when the present first comes into office, he has a large number of people positioned that require confirmation. people cannot active in those positions until the are confirmed. the initiative inevi

an important event, and then later in 1985 then senator kerry and a wonderful inscription quoting humphreyart at the beginning of a wonderful friendship. what did you teach you about being a politician, about being a senator? >> dade, when i first got involved in politics i thought that politics was just about the issues. yo know, you believe this, you believe that, you fight for this, you fight for that. what teddy showed me is that politics -- and this is slightly contrary to what tip o'neil said when he said all politics is local. all politics is personal. that really what teddy taught a lot of us, i think. it is personal and you ought to have fun doing it. i really learned how to have more fun. you go out and you are awfully serious and you take yourself too seriously. quoted in the comment i made on friday, you know, ted said you want to take the issues seriously, but you don't take yourself too seriously, and h really was good at that. i might also comment on something i thought when listening to maria. you know, i said on friday that the sweetest of all seasons was a gift of this pe

democratic party in chicago with that horrible convention was, at best, ambivalent about hubert humphreyw and i think he was right that had he given the word, the delegates probably would have gone to ted kennedy, especially because -- didn't feel that antagonism. >> michael, i'm going to ask you to hang on a minute. we're going to take a quick break. >> sure. >> we will come right back and talk more about that. ramesh is joining the conversation. we are not the only three talking about this. you can share your thoughts and memories of senator ted kennedy. go to the following website on your screen and logon. >>> coming up next we now take a look at how younger americans remember the lion of the senate. plus can you say senator drescher some that's right. we ask the actress and health care advocate the question everyone wants to know. you're watching msnbc live. i'm carlos watson. pollen. when i really liked to be outside, i did not like suffering from nasal allergy symptoms like congestion. but nasonex relief may i say... bee-utiful! prescription nasonex is proven to help relieve indoor

and they started sending me out to hollywood to be the stage manager for humphrey bogart or frank sinatrager rogers when these great stars were making their debuts. i got so fascinated by hollywood and the extraordinary life i wanted to be part of it. >> let me jump ahead, 1979. you left hollywood, you went to oregon and lived in a cabin alone. why? >> as a young couple, my wife and i were put up in the a, a, a group of all time out there. but then it turned on me. i started out to be a nice guy and didn't end up a nice guy and i rooked my career and i left hollywood broke and went to live in oregon in a cabin. >> yes, hollywood turned on you and the drugs and alcohol you indicate were getting to be too much. >> on, yeah. >> you say today i think the reason i write about a blank, blank holes so well in my book is that i have the experience of being one. >> that's absolutely true. i mean, i turned into one. i turned into a typical hollywood a blank, blank hole. >> there are fascinating things you write about from those days. one of your good friends was peter lawford and you say he's been

consulting firm mjp group upgraded to buy from neutral with a $13 price target by suntrust robinson humphrey. this is because of higher job posts on the company's website and improving industry sentiment. duke energy downgraded to perform from market perform by oppenheimer. that's because of valuation and lower load usage. shares of the power produce had been up nearly 10% over the past month. and wnt offshore cut to underperform from market perform by bemo capital markets. the call made because of the company's weak portfolio of drilling prospects and lack of internal growth catalysts. bob. >> thanks very much, melissa. join meg now to discuss what the markets are doing alan valdez vice president at hilliard lyons and gordon charlop at rosenblatt securities and cnbc market analyst. gentlemen, the bottom line is this. we've got selling today in the groups that were up last week, in the cyclicals and the financials, but the volume's not very heavy. so once again we face this minute amount of profit taik and the markets basically are moving sideways here. let's not get excited over a 40-point

[applause] [applause] i have the virus but,wz not the disease. the disease is horrible. i watched my ex-husband died from it. at any moment, this virus could explode. i live with hope, being my only health plan. president barack obama ran on a pla

i know, like hubert humphrey and jonas salk and willie mays, you are part of the times that you live in, the 1940's, the 1950's, the 1960. he warmed up to me. i said, now i'm going to start selling. you know, frank -- i did not even know him -- people of my generation remember who they were and where they were by what frank and -- by what the net -- frank sinatra song was popular at the time. he said, will you pay me? i said, you don't have enough money to buy a documentary about yourself. cbs money isn't enough. what we call it a wash? he said, how do i know that i can trust you? i said, i am going ask you sit in a seat all -- opposite walter cronkite. this is my shining moment. how i thought of it, i did not know. that is the same seat that eisenhower, jack kennedy, and lyndon johnson sat and. if you don't think you're big enough to sit in that seat, i would not do it, if i were you. he grinned. he said, i am recording tomorrow night. if you want to start then? i said, i'll be there. i call the cameraman. what in hell is united? he said, it's a big recording studio. i said, like it

as hubert humphrey is pleased as punch, they are pleased that obama is losing power and that means theat of higher taxes are coming off the table.b >> and the earnings we have been watching first with the financials with better than expected numbers. >> i believe we are having an economic recovery. i believe that all year. we begin to have an economic recovery. it is not coming because of the $100 billion of stimulus eeked through the pipeline. it's not coming because of the promises of $787 billion of wasted spending. it's because ben bernanke slashed interest rates and stomped on the accelerator and has pumped liquidity into the economy as never before. >> let's get a take on the jobs report. we are joined by the president and ceo of the urban league and former mayor of new orleans. we have been talking to mayors as well about what they are trying to grow jobs or at least protect jobs. what did you make of the report this morning. >> we have better news than we had in easily a year. what was interesting is i think that all of the actions that have been taken, the recovery act and be

you have to remember that person areky just spoke at the humphrey hawkins, so he's given us the game plan of what the fed is going to do. so i don't expect too many surprise, the one thing that the fed has been consistent with is being transparent. they've pretty much told us what they're going to do. so i don't expect big changes today. >> not worried about the statement, what it might say an inflation versus deflation? no. >> i think it will be pretty consistent. it could be a mimic of what they reported last time. i don't see major changes to that statement at all. >> okay. >> and peter, in terms of one possible surprise that can come here, it it appears the consensus right now is that the fed will not formally extend all of the programs out there. the hundreds of billions of dollars they are currently spending to bring down mortgage rates. all those program, that's in the statement now, do you think that they -- i mean is that good they're not going to extend it? does that show they have confidence in the stability of the economy? >> erin, the financial system, really, if you loo

hubert humphrey, after whom this building is named, made this quote and it's on the wall that greetss you enter the building. what he said is that the moral test of the government is how they treat those who are in the dawn of life. >> all right. we'll continue to monitor this announcement. dr. nancy snyderman joins us right now. what point can we go beyond, wash your hands, purell. >> right now, it's cough into your sleeve and when the vaccine comes out, get vaccinated. you're not going to be at the top of the list. it will be care workers, the elderly and kids, sort of six months to 24 years of age because we know this flu, the h1n1 is striking 19 year olds. >> the thing with this one, it's easily transferrable, but not as fatal. >> phenomenally lphenomenally,p in the spring, sort of something to come in the fall. >> they're looking at the places we saw a lot of swine flu cases. wisconsin has had 1,000 more cases than any other state and they're looking at why that's a pr problem. these guidelines they've handed out today where they're going to separate out staff and students who s

know, he, he might have helped to build this model because, of course, he was a protege of hubert humphreys, and i think he had studied the vice presidency as a hobby for a long time before he was in it and brought a lot of, a lot of thought to it. but i think of all these vice presidents, he was the hardest to really figure out what he was -- you knew he was doing something, but you -- [laughter] you didn't necessarily know what it was. >> [inaudible] >> al gore was a very passionate advocate for the, for the promises that he worked on in the campaign and actually even before clinton picked him as vice president, he had consulted gore on his environmental policy. so gore helped write the environmental policy speech that clinton gave back in the primaries. and luckily for them, clinton and gore had different, different interests that they were especially passionate about. so clinton hadn't spent that much time on environmental policy as a governor, and so he, he was happy to give vice president gore some running room on that, on that issue, and that was true on science and technology policy

the greate eses esest deliberat in the world, home to hubert humphrey, dirksen, has become little more than a partisan snake pit where not a whole lot worthwhile gets done anymore. here's the question. you can go to cnn.com/caffertyfile, post a comment on my blog. wolf. >> a great question. no simple answer as you point out. >> maybe nobody. >> you might be right. all right, jack. thank you. >>> an arraignment in california in a bizarre child kidnapping case. the victim, now grown, endured an 18-year nightmare, isolated from the world in her alleged captor's back yard. we have new details coming in. >>> and the story gets even stranger. we're learning more about one of the suspect's online rants and theories. >>> plus, how far new jersey officials will go to try to prevent moammar gadhafi from pitching a tent and moving in. it doesn't cover everything. and what it doesn't cover can cost you some money. that's why you should consider... an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan... insured by united healthcare insurance company. it can help cover some zd what medicare doesn't... so you

joining us right now stanley humphreys, the county judge, executive of trig county kentucky.oner of lagrange county. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, good morning. steve: stanley, let's start with you. how much money did trig county, kentucky get? we should point out both of your counties have unemployment of about 16%. how much did trig county get? >> currently we are at about 31 million. it's about 30 million for road projects, the land between the lakes area, steve. you may have heard of that that's in the western part of the state which is a big recreational area, borders trig county in the western part of the state. steve: how much is that per capita? >> we are about 14,000 population. i think if you average it out it's over $2,000 per capita. let me explain. steve: i will tell you what, stanley. hang on a second. there in trig county they are winding up $2,400 per person. george, in your county, in indiana, how much are you getting per person because you have got exactly the same unemployment, so we are kind of curious. >> well, our population is around 33,000 wi

hubert humphrey was trying to get the nation -- nomination. triple-8 candidate, amnesty, abortion, and to acid. but they said i had made it up. this came out well after the election. we went to the senator, have lunch with him, he said he was running for reelection and the mcgovern people would kill him before he threw out his name. many years later, i asked if he would let his name be used, i wrote him, and he said, no, it was off the record. this was even though he was off the record. so we referred to him in the galley proofs as senator x, mr. x. he died between the time that the galleys came out and the book came out. it was thomas eagleton. he was the short-time running mate of george mcgovern. when he said those things, we never dreamed that he would be the choice for vice president until he was kicked off the ticket because he had not been told about some disorder, some nervous disorder he had that had been treated, they kept that secret. remember that story? so it is a shocking story, an ironic that the man who uses triple-a was tom ea

hubert humphrey would never agree with. what was the problem. >> if that went to the supreme court, you and i both know, it would be a 5-4 decision. maybe a 6-3 decision. that's my point. if you have somebody that's going to be on the wrong side of one decision, two decisions, just because you and i disagree with that decision, don't you, as a man that's worked for two presidents, don't you believe the president, once elected should be shown deference by the sena senate? >> i do believe they should be shown deference. the fact he's a liberal political figure doesn't bother me. what bothers me, however, is judicial philosophy which says the supreme court makes laws for the american people. we live, in my judgment, joe, we've lived the last 50 years very much under something approaching a judicial dictatorship, a rule of judges which replaced the rule of kings. judges should not be the deciders. elected executives they make the law. judges simply say we think that violates the constitution or we don't think that violates the

later in the week, greg ballard of indianapolis and friday will talk to fort myers mayor jim humphrey. >> don capacity, why is congress continuing to hold hearings on fannie mae and freddie mac? congress is trying to figure out what to do with them. they said whatever they do do, they are not want to look like they look to date. they're going to restructure them. they could make them a public utility. there are a number of options they are considering. >> does it appear that lawmakers are writing legislation to address these issues? can you give us some specifics? >> they are not writing legislation yet. they are holding a lot of hearings and they are starting an internal debate about what to do with the companies. there will be legislation some time early next year. a couple of the options include placing them in receivership. kind of like the lack companies are, but for your mortgage. another option is creating a bad bank for the bad assets of the company. and rolling off the good assets into something else altogether. there are a number of different things they are looking at right
