george humphrey was secretary of the treasury. they didn't always agree.used to say when arthur burns came "here comes arthur with his kit of tools." he meant his tools for dealing with the recession. at various times he got out of line. humphrey got out of eisenhower's line by saying, "increasing expenditures in a recession is really a terrible thing." he was more in the hoover image. he quickly got back into line. ike's forecast showed unemployment climbing past 6% during the winter of 1954, the highest level since the depression. millions of workers were idle. eisenhower went to the people to urge confidence. he predicted the economy would improve. he promised spending programs if it didn't. he was ready to take action, but didn't have to. if you keep tax rates stable then the revenue will fall when the economy falls because people have less income. the revenue will rise when the economy rises because people will have more income. that stabilizes the economy. some expenditures will rise in a recession unemployment compensation, for example. we at the co

. >> joining me to have this discussion are cheryl huggins soloman, stephanie humphreys, tech life experto your black world.com and of course our own patricia, director of pr and marketing for black enterprise. thank you for being here. the question i want to know is people keep saying the african-american community doesn't access technology. that we are not full participants in this thing. but everyone i know has a cell phone. everyone i know is on the internet and everyone is texting. >> it is easy to get a prepaid phone from cricket but the quality of engagement is changing and that's where we are lk lacking as a community. >> campaigns are huge in the world. >> it is huge in my world. >> high quality engagement, if you are able to access the broadbanda broadband internet you can get across the board communicatively. >> and there was a study and it was shown that when african-americans do have access to broadband then they actually index higher, looking for information about jobs, about housing, about healthcare. and about church. of course. so when that access is there, we use it in a

humphrey metrodome. and it was not a good stadium. billy martin once famously walked in and said, how could hubert humphrey's parents name him after this dump? so it was a pretty awful stadium. and so, and i'm all for them having a new stadium, except the new stadium was built entirely with public money, even though it had been rejected a dozen times by the voters in various referendum. but the owner, carl pohlad, who's the richest owner in major league sports at the time, he devoted, and i, this is without exaggeration, the last 25 years of his life, from age 72 to 97, to lobbying to get this new stadium. that was his dream. and the very week they were going to break ground on the new stadium the bridge collapsed in minneapolis, sending about a dozen people to their deaths. a five-minute walk from where i live in d.c., the metro went off the rails the year after the new washington nationals' billion-dollar stadium opened. so people have to realize whether you're a sports fan or not, very real choices get made about the limited amount

miami between ed and his who was then president of the american medical association and you were humphrey a senator from minnesota later become vice president they debated medicare and the same kind of arguments we've made against medicare doctors who now would love it hated it then oh they were scared to death they were scared to death larry i and i remember those debates and i remember they in a. the johnson administration said look the public is going to like medicare it's going to in fact this is going to be a building block of of of america and and and a lot of people were scared there was a lot of you know a lot of a propaganda kind of machine against it but it wasn't acted and now you know it's one of the most popular if it's a just about the most popular thing that government does in fact when the affordable care act was first being proposed a lot of conservatives i don't know if you recall this a lot of conservatives would say don't take away my medicare right now. you see we've come full circle i think that many republicans are concerned and worried that . some americans are goi

we'll call him humphrey. >> that was ridiculous. >> do you know how much brilliant acting it takes toat work. >> can you look at what's in my eye line. bambino and blake playing cards. >> looks like he put his paw in a socket. >> bambino, absolutely perfect as usual. >> blake looks crazy. >> time for johnson's baby of the week. we like to announce these. new moms and adorable additions to their families. our first is sillas alan debruyn born in michigan. the parents love snuggling with him. >> of course they do. >> you love snuggling with blake. >> next is larisa renee gillman. born in texas. the first girl in the family. she has three big brothers who are all probably very, very protective of their little sis. >> elia grace grasmick weighing 7 pounds, two ounces. in aurora, colorado. her mom says her daughter is very expressive and likes to make funny faces. >> last johnson's baby of the week, brinly marie gosch. her parents allison and cody told us this little girl shares the same birthday as her 1-year-old brother. so september 4th is doubly special in their house. congratulations

passage of the amendment outlined sex discrimination was a short when senator herbert humphrey of minnesota told a meet the press audience in answer to a question from craig that the democratic leadership in congress had decided to accept the amendment with the word tax. at this point, one can say perhaps eleanor would have been extremely pleased that a member of her press conference circles this -- succeeded in widening opportunities for women journalists. thank you. [applause] >> if you have any questions please go to the microphone. >> this is about women and men in journalism today. i have been concerned about the increasing partisan politics that came into print journalism and tv journalism. i wonder if it really is new, has always been as bitter and as vicious as it is today and is it possible for a journalist to have a career today and be neutral, present the facts and be more traditional in the way they are presenting the news? >> i am happy to comment on that. it is the new development, certainly in eleanor roosevelt's day these press conferences were not controversial. they didn't

humphrey bogart and katharine hepburn were here while filming "the african queen."xury hotel pourquoi pas hotel. this is the pourquoi pas hotel now. it's inhabited by squatters or simply eaten by the jungle. none of this was ever for the congolese. they weren't allowed in any of these buildings, except as help. not even allowed to walk their own streets after dark. not a lot of dependable electric power left in the city, but what lights do glow around town, much of it comes from places like this -- small kiosks serving the congolese version of barbecue and what passes for cold beer. christian is one of our fixers, tasked with keeping us on track and out of trouble. which, believe me, is a big job around here. you know, it's an amazing-looking city, if you blur your vision a bit, you can see it the way it used to be. >> beautiful. i think it could be the best place to live. very kind people. people like listening to music, sitting, taking their meals, eating. >> what's the congolese word for barbecue? >> barbecue. >> cheers. >> cheers. >> i like any meat on a grill.

but the old style huber humphrey, get it done.ave nuance and another seminar on the damn thing. come out with something where people can say i've been riding down the roads of new york. they're roads. not streets. they're beat up, you bounce around in a cab like your head's going to split-off. we can fix a lot of stuff, fix bridges, a fast train from here to new york instead of this buck board, stage coach we call amtrak. and how about all the things below safety code that could be fixed? >> there's a couple problems. they do approve of these ideas, but they sabotage themselves by buying so heavy into the austerity argument in 2011 that now they can't pass any spending measure without a tax hike or spending measure. and secondly we live in the age of sequestration. even if you don't do anything, sequestration will happen. >> look at this. it's about leadership. and this is the president offering a forceful defense of the affordable care act. >> i think the really interesting question is why it is that my friends in the other party

and humphrey johnson, a different one third. wing, and richard nixon that you see here, pulled up a 49 state landslide. >> there was one thing in that debate, the first debate here that caught my interest. the concern that that, and i want to listen to this. reactivates. >> you also called for reducing the federal debt. i'm wondering how you, if you're president in january, will go about paying the bill for all of us. >> i did not advocate that because i don't believe you will be able to advocate the federal debt. not in 1961, 1962, or 1963. there are very heavy things we ought to me in regards to security and i have never suggested that we should be tied to that in 1961. neil: okay it amounted to a few built in billion total, much smaller economy. but there are times to have that certainly cannot do it. what did you make of that? >> why make of that is that jack kennedy in 1960, he knew that. truman had left office for a while and this is basically a conservative country and he would've lost to eisenhower, he moved to a positio

here with the list is magazine's executive director sarah humphreys. >> hello. >> and mr. birds they can live for a long time. parrots can live between 35 and 80 years. >> you better be committed. >> this is not a parrot. this is a budgie, kind of a parakeet, mr. bojangles and only lives between 5 and 15 years. they're great. love to hang out with you. one, they'll be your flock. spend time with them every day in or out of the cage. >> will he fly around? >> you need to clip his wings, like trimming his hair. they can -- >> doesn't hurt him? >> they'll mimic words. they're a great bird but a little more low maintenance. they like to look in the mirror. >> the guinea pig. >> so cute. >> professor pickles owned by our photo editor brian from and he is super cute. national television debut. >> hello. >> guinea pigs are great because if your kids want something furry and fluffy to squeeze, this is the thing to get. >> they do not bite. they do not need a hampster wheel that squeaks through the night. they are not nocturnal. >> and they don't eat. >> i fed him before. he might

joining us this morning, raoul labrador, john huntsman, dee dee myers, and chris humphreys. >> welcomell of you, here is a poll on who you would blame for the government shutdown, here is a poll, 39% would blame republicans, 36% would blame the president, 17% said both. increase matthews, i was there somebody where chris matthews said would you please tell they're behaving like children. i have done my duty, so the question for all of you, chris, i start with you, who gets the blame? >> i was watching your discussion, and you made points about how obama care, affordable care, as passed by the senate, and then the president got reelected on that very issue. i watched that discussion, senator cruz talks as if there should be a final test that you have to get through before the law goes into effect. in other words, the final vote, whether it is on the debt ceiling or the shutdown of the government, a final look at the law saying should we really let that go into effect before it is set to go into effect. that is not really the form of government. you outlined the form of government. the t

. >> that was hubert humphrey, obviously a democrat. the democrats in the senate lining up behind the president of their own party, president johnson. but president johnson, a democratic president, got down the line support from the republican leadership in the senate. most explicitly in the case of everett dirksen. >> in the instances that are immediately before us, i think it's got to be conceded there has been firm and decisive action. now, who knows what lies ahead. what the dimensions of attack might be and where we go from there and what we do with our larger objectives in southeast asia. >> everett dirksen. for the republicans, democrats, the senate as well. everybody is full bore, no reservations, totally lined up. totally supportive of president johnson's plan to eventually triple down on the war in vietnam. when the house foreign affairs committee voted on that gulf of tonkin resolution, it was unanimous. 29-0. in the senate, they had two committees meet together and take a vote. they put the foreign relations committee and th

host: so jerry hagstrom, in light of that, dave humphrey makes this statement on twitter, you can respond if you wish. all agriculture price manipulation by our federal government should end. let farmers earn a living using the free market. guest: well, it's a lot more complicated than that. it's -- it's hard to say that there would be no price manipulation because we are in a world economy. there are subsidies and import and export restrictions all over the world. agriculture is a little bit different from most other forms of -- of business. so i think that it's unlikely -- it's unlikely that the world he wants is going to happen. host: here is fredericktown, ohio. joining us is clarence. he's a farmer. good morning. caller: yeah, hello. this is more like a two-sided conversation. i do not understand why we subsidize the rich. i'm in a poor county and public record tells you how much the local farmers around you get for subsidies. it's all in the public records if you go hunt it up. i know several, they call them family farmers, they're not family farmers. when you're farming thousands o

lyndon johnson is going to run against him and if johnson is going to try to stop him by supporting humphrey. he goes to the lbj ranch and rfk was a slightly built man. johnson takes him deer hunting instead of -- i don't know much about rifles instead of giving him aid to your rifle he gives them a high-powered shotgun. robert kennedy pulls the trigger and it knocks him down 3 feet and he cuts his forehead. lyndon johnson make some comment about that is not the way a real man shoots a gun or something along those lines. robert kennedy hated him from the very beginning. johnson was convinced that robert kennedy was trying to -- johnson is convinced that robert robert -- all the bad stories in every scandal that comes out in the media was somehow connected to johnson. johnson is convinced that as robert kennedy. it's hard now for us to understand the hostility that existed between these two men and i think that leads to johnson's paranoia. clearly paranoia and there is no basis or reason or rationality but sometimes people are irrational. the point was this is about the president being assass

the first person to identify the possibility was sir humphrey davy and 1810. once he did this, people were trying to demonstrate this for years and neighborly converse in the 1870s. but for more than a half a century, people were trying to create the incandescent light. >> what if you discover about the way that edison felt about these other incremental stages of progress that others were making? >> i think that i suspect like many other inventors that he had a real sense of rivalry and he announced quite arrogantly that when he entered the field he had figured this out in way that nobody else had. in his first big breakthrough was to suggest that they were all wrong because they were trying to create eight carbon filament bulb that he was going to create. when he announced this, people weren't so convinced and edison was convinced that he could do this and he thought surely he could. six months later, he said i will go back to the rest of the crowd. >> as we get into the discussion of technology, let's talk a little bit about a really wonderful phrase that yo

humphrey's speech was really rather amazing to 1964 democratic convention. though he was considered very liberal, he made it very clear we were doing great damage as we break down the traditional family home. wonder how he would be labeled speechy the splc for the he gave in 1964. the article says he managed to shoot and injure just one person thanks to the heroics of the building manager who stopped the attack. a video shows corkins entered the building and approached johnson. then leaned over to place his backpack on the floor. when he straightened up corkins pointed a semiautomatic handgun directly at johnson and fired. despite being wounded in the arm, he was able to subdue corkins after a great struggle. he is doing very well after a series of surgeries and over a year of recovery time he is doing very, very well, unquote. it points out the general's also a pastor and wanted to emphasize, quote, it's important to remember that regardless of where america is today the original roots of america were founded in judeo-christian beliefs, unquote. he observed

and i then -- the group -- the vice president humphrey visited the campus, dear friend of my father-in-law, and a really great guy. i liked him a lot. but he just gave an awful talk. just off the hand, in a way that was -- they didn't realize how sensitive and acute and on the edge everybody was. and a bunch of us on the faculty encouraged people to wear protest bandages if the wanted to, but not to rise and walk out or cause a ruckus. and i remember thinking, i would love if albert -- i would like to love my country and justice at the same time. and then hubert spoke very badly, and there was a huge riot outside as he left, and those of us in the faculty, just went down in the eyes of the others, and it was -- then i was invited by the university of new york for a new experimental campus to come to there, and there's only one student who took elections as not a fraud and able to take part in them and that was eugene mccarthy. all the other elections are just a bourgeois front and wanted nothing to do with them. one of the first arguments was about doing anything they wanted, and of choice

hubert humphrey visit the campus, vice president, dear friend of my father bought, just a really great guy, i thought. i liked him a lot as a politician and so on. he just gave an awful talk, offhand in a way that was, he didn't realize how sensitive and acute and on edge everybody was. and a bunch of us on the faculty encouraged people to wear protest bandages if they wanted to, but not to rise and walk out or cause a ruckus. i remember thinking, i would love if albert -- i would like to love my country and justice at the same time. and then hubert spoke very badly, and then there was a huge riot outside as he left, and those of us on the faculty just went down in theyes of all the others, and it was, then i went, i was invited by the university of the new york for a new excremental campus to come join there. there was only one student who took elections as not a fraud and was able to take part, and he voted for gene mccarthy. all the other elections are a burger wall, nothing to do with them. one of the first arguments was males could use any bathroom they wanted of their choice, ope

one was 1948 when democratic party pushed by hubert humphrey, put a civil rights plank into its platform bolted. strom thurmond ran. that's when lbj who had this horrible segregationist past and pushed through the civil rights act at the same time republicans nominated barry goldwater part of that filibuster. strom thurmond bolted again. he was the father of the modern republican party left the democratic party -- >> good god, no. okay. first of all, go back to an earlier point. the idea that the segregationists were somehow located exclusively in the south and it was a southern thing, i think that's really not historically very accurate. jack kennedy who is not a southerner, voted against the civil rights act in 1957. the idea that lyndon johnson was overcoming his past in 1964, it was hardly even the past at that point. >> it didn't do nearly enough. it was water down to accommodate the southern -- >> watered down by who? >> by lyndon johnson. >> this is my point. i'm not forgiving or dismissing or ignoring the fact there was a southern segregationist democratic party and democratic pa
