movement, and the assassinations of martin luther king jr. and robert kennedy. her class is about an hour and 10 minutes. margaret: let's get started. welcome. 1968,we are talking about a year when a heck of a lot happened, including a presidential election. a year where there were a lot of social, economic, political parallels that are in some ways familiar to us now because, in part, some of the changes the y 21st century america alan thicke has experience were set to motion in this period -- america has experienced were set in motion in this period. i'd like to start with this news conference to the american people. march 31, 1968. president lyndon johnson gave a televised address to the nation. 's subject was the vietnam war.

he wiretapped martin luther king jr. he made audio recordings of martin luther king on the road, in the hotel room when dr. king was not alone. dr. king was with a woman in a hotel room. j. edgar hoover took the audiotape of dr. king in that hotel room and sent it directly to dr. king's wife, coretta scott king. j. edgar hoover was trying to scare dr. king into silence. j. edgar hoover believed that martin luther king jr. was america's, quote, most dangerous negro. those were the fbi's words about martin luther king jr. after he gave the "i have a dream" speech in washington. after the fbi witnessed that, they decided this, this is america's most dangerous negro. he has to be stopped. j. edgar hoover despised dr. king. hoover believed the civil rights amendment was anti-american. created an attack on martin luther king that was designed to get dr. king to kill himself. they tried to drive him to suicide. the building that james comey works in has the most disgraceful name of any building in washington. it is called the j.

one about the environment and the president gave pope francis some books, first vision by martin luther king jr. and those are significant because pope francis quoted martin luther king jr. in some of his most poignant parts of his speech. very beautiful procession through the apostolic palace this morning that got underway and there was the private meeting between pope francis and donald trump. great smiles and finally an expanded audience with members of the first family and also members of donald trump's staff. rob: interesting to watch this go down. a lot of people nervous how that meeting would go between the pope and the president after back and forth each year during the campaign, the pope said anyone who would want to build a wall instead of a bridge is not christian in his opinion and candidate trump firing back on that. good to see them embrace and have a warm interaction. heather: a lot of people talking about the body language between the two. we don't know what they spoke about. they spent 30 minutes together and the first lady was there along with ivanka and jared kushner. as they

he reached out to martin luther king, jr and was a friend of jacky robinson. he was the first american vice president to visit a family in their home. she was taken to the dining room and then writes a wonderful letter to a friend of his back in woodiersaying it affirms my face that the daughter of the shoe sign boy from whittier is graduating from columbia high school and has a positive future ahead of her. there was a rumor in the family that the quakers worked the underground railroad. he joined clubs that admitted the and was color blind. in 1957 when the first civil right bill hit the floor of the senate, it is one of his mightiest champions. in the 1960 election, he loses the black vote because he falters at a key moment. martin luther king, jr arrested and sent to a prison in rural georgia and they get in contact with the governor of georgia and called martin luther king's wife to comfort her and make a big impact for the population in america. the nixon campaign says no comment. if nixon is not totally colorbehind he is the most dangerous man in americ

we reported it was a case of books from martin luther king jr. each book according tohe white house is cusm bound and accented with hand told gooled elements. anne thompson spoke about the gifts. he highlighted four americans and among them dr. king to talk about his message and talk about how much that meant to pope francis personally. this was a very intentionally chosen gift. the white house sending information gave an except of the speech. two gifts given to pope francis. one was a piece of stone. granite from the martin luther king jr. statue which is the stone of hope. if you have been to washington and visited the monument, it overlooks the tidal basin in d.c. it is a place of peace and comfort. the pope was given a piece of that granite and custom bronze statue symbolizing peace and unity. some information on the gifts exchange at the vatican. highly symbolic here. perhaps the pope's message very direct. a bit more direct, i would say, because of the climate change and environmental encyclical and because of the messaging on peace. the ol

government doesn't save martin luther king jr.. government doesn't save robert kennedy, senator robert kennedy. in the 70s government can't win the vietnam war, can't stop hyperinflation, can't stop high interest rates, government can't stop gas lines. it seems carter runs in 76, was an outsider and was not wedded to the idea of big government. he will clean up washington, go after the corruption, cut taxes. he is more of a populist almost conservative who sees that people are frustrated in the 70s, don't believe government is working for them anymore but carter attacks from somewhat the left but not really. reagan is on the right which is why they emerge as the most interesting candidate in 1976. reagan loses the nomination to gerald ford by 69 delegates, 2269 cast in kansas city. for a lot of reasons. the mississippi delegation. the ohio delegation, the new york delegation, reagan is convinced ford is not stolen the nomination but not won legitimately and we are down to the weeds but this wets reagan's appetite to run again even

martin luther king jr.'s writing. on the campaign trail the pope said people who talk about building barriers not bridges are not christian. at that point candidate trump called the pope's rhetoric disgraceful. obviously publicly a much warmer meeting between the two of them today and essentially what we expected. we didn't expect either side to go into this meeting to talk about their differences. we expected them to look for common ground. that's what we saw publicly at that meeting. to give you a sense how busy these days are being he began his day with pope francis. he and his wife melania trump are touring saint peter's basilica. then melania trump will be touring a children's hospital. president trump will be meeting with diplomats here in italy. he's slated to meet with the italian president and italian prime minister, all of this before they fly off to brussels tonight ahead with that meeting with nato leaders tomorrow. >> it happens on wednesday and you can get an audience with the pope there. >> you wonder i
