matthew: exactly. we had a sequence of republican presidents. >> there was a third candidate as well. they are each below 50%, so there must have been a third candidate. matthew: yes chuck, please. >> there was a book that came out a few years ago about the assassination. i have not read it all, i own it, it is upstairs. maybe someone here can recommend me to move it up on my reading list. i think it was suggesting that he colluded in a historical context, colluded with other forces to have him assassinated because they were afraid of what reforms he was on the threshold of promoting. matthew: do you remember which book that is? i concentrated more looking at guiteau. there has been recent work on guiteau. guiteau just seems to have been a random character. he came to washington, he participated a little bit in the republican campaign. i think he gave half of a speech, got stage fright, and ran off. he wrote a pamphlet, published a pamphlet. based upon that contribution, he decided that he should be th

general earl matthews, i want to start with you.on to these escalating numbers of cyber attacks we're hearing about, and 11-year-old was able to hack into a simulation of the florida state election website in under 10 minutes. what does that say about the security of our election right now? gen. matthews: well, one i would say it's wonderful we are highlighting this problem. what happened at defcon was the penetration of the website the state would have up that would have a tally of the tolls of what was happening through the electoral process, and not a penetration into the databases that were counting the electoral votes and the -- selina: the 2016 exposed a whole host of vulnerabilities. are we any more secure than we were two years ago? and what new tactics are we seeing? >> hi, thanks for having me. in terms of security from 2016, until now, certainly there is more awareness about the problem. congress allocated $380 million to shore up their in election infrastructure. in terms of the tactics we are seeing leading up to the mi

we will be joined by robert merry and matthew dallek. we take you back to the republican convention in 1968. richard nixon accepting his party's nomination. russia [video] make history tonight. the choices in 1968 will determine the future of america world in thethe last third of the 20th century. can america meet this great challenge? for a few moments, let us look at america, listen to america, to find the answer to that question. as we look at america we see cities enveloped in smoke and ensmes, here sire -- hear sir in the night, americans hating each other, fighting each other, killing each other at home. to see thesed things, millions of americans cry out in english, "did we come all this way for this?" listen to the answers to those questions. it is another voice, it is a quiet voice over the shouting. it is the voice of the great majority of americans, the forgotten americans, the non- shouters, the non-demonstrators. they're not guilty of the crime land.lagues the they are white, white, native-born, foreign-born, young old. they

matthew: 46 seats. so nixon is seen as a credible conservative, there is still sees where but he the energy is in the republican party. and the moderates ultimately are a significant minority within and if we factor in george wallace, who we haven't talked about, who would ultimately embody this conservative coalition, we see that moderates are really a dying, almost spent force. 1968, to the extent there was a threat to neck's in, it was from ronald reagan on his right. so the moderates were on the defensive. beenhose battles had fought in 1964 and 1966 and the moderates came out on the losing end, even if romney and rockefeller didn't buy into that. robert: nixon had another problem, he had an image problem. hard that was the press conference, part of it was his personality where he didn't work well with a lot of people, and he addressed those problems in 1966, in terms of campaigning for republicans all over america. he was indefatigable. he was everywhere. beralmpaigned for li republicans, he campai

what changed between 1964 and 1968, matthew dalick? >> 1964 really is the conservative demise and a lot of liberals after the goldwater debacle said conservatism is dead and the extreme right has no home in the center of american politics and the country changed dramatically as we're going to discuss today. vietnam issues of urban unrest, law and art of order and the republican party ultimately with the goldwater capture of the nomination of '64 signaled where the energy at the grassroots and the donor level ideologically and the conservative media where all of the energy is flowing and it was flowing toward the right of the republican party and it was ultimately the goldwater-type conservatives who were on the ascendance and who prevailed for the most part in '68. >> a key player during the 1960s, richard nixon and he loses the california governorship in 1962, that famous speech, you won't have dick nixon to kick around anymore. abc news produces a documentary and the political obituary of richard nixon. >> my parents were upset about

let's bring in correspondent matthew chance. matthew, there was a sense this was coming. now it is here what is the russian government saying. >> reporter: phil, i think these sanctions that came on the basis of anti-chemical weapons act of the united states came out of the blue. a lot of expectation here in russia because of the congressional bill that is debated about imposing sanctions for an lelleged meddling in the6 election. there would be more measures against russia. this is a bit of a curve ball. no one here talked about sap sanctions from the united states over the skripal poisoning. the russians have criticized the u.s. sanctions saying it is a theater of the absurd. no clues. no lodgic of the claims they ha anything to do with the skripal poisoning in the united kingdom back in march. remember, it all comes out of the political atmosphere in the united states. made worse by the helsinki summit by president trump and president putin and president trump is perceived as coming across at weak. it means an increase drive in the united states to impose sanctions aga

matthew? >> 1964 was seen really is the sub -- conservative demised pert after the goldwater debacle, they thought conservatives and was dead pert the extreme bright had no home. no home in the center of american politics. we will discuss that vietnam issues and then issues of urban unrest and law and order and the republican party ultimately with the goldwater captured the nomination. that was the energy of the grassroots and the donor level ideologically. all the energy was flowing there. it was flowing to the right of the republican party. it was the goldwater type conservatives and who carried and prevailed for the most part. >> a key player during the 1968 was of course richard nixon. he loses the governorship in 1962. that famous speech where you don't have dick nixon to kick around anymore. >> howard k smith, my parents were really upset about that or go >> >> it made him look like -- there's an old rule in politics, you are not finished until you say you are finished. if you say you ar

jason: here is matthew philips with more.thew: this is a guy on tv every day a couple times a day and if you listen to the tone, he is giving these wartime addresses to his people and the way he is selling this is we are under attack. this is something that has been foisted upon us by not even our traditional enemies. by our allies and specifically, the u.s. there is this political calculation that is very interesting to watch him make, which is, he is trying to take what is a self-made crisis and tell his people that this is something being pushed against us from outside forces and it is us versus them. it is difficult to see how he continues to sell that as the economy continues to collapse. jason: we have seen pictures and video, even over the past few months, of these two world leaders having a pretty good rapport in the face of donald trump not having a great rapport with some of his other traditional allies or some of the u.s.'s traditional allies. matthew: a month ago, they were in brussels and trump was pointing his f

matthew: the big picture is whether erdogan wants to move turkey from west to east.d more authoritarian regimes like russia, iran, and china. that is what he wants the world to think he is willing to do. he is willing to sacrifice his military and economic alliance with the west and traded for a closer deal with russia and china. what do those three countries have to offer? it is not clear. turkey will need financial assistance. the russian economy is not in good shape. the chinese have on their books a long history of bad loans, whether to the venezuelans or brazilians. it is not clear that is a solution, either. iran is a longtime rival of turkey in the middle east. they have found some common ground around the conflict in syria, but again, it is not clear that is a natural alliance and the question is whether erdogan thinks there is more to be gained by moving toward those countries. jason: beyond those three, it seems erdogan would be looking elsewhere for some new friends? matthew: there are reports that qatar has come in with $15 billion of direct investment. m
