mr. nixoni have decided that i would test my ability to win and my ability to cope with the issues in the fires of the primaries, and not just smoke-filled rooms in miami. reporter: nixon's schedule for the next three days would include a reception, a dinner speech and conversations with people about issues in public and on television. mr. nixon in 1968, i look at the : future of this country to the 20th century. in 1960, i necessarily had to think of the past, also the future but to think of the past and to defend it. and in 1968, as you men will hear in my speeches starting saturday night, i am going to be talking about america's future, my vision of america, and what i think i can do with the years of experience i have behind me. >> we have a candidate, it looks like a candidate. >> what does this campaign have -- previous candid beans campaigns haven't had? any new things? >> i think it is preeminently going to have a view of the future, which has been lacking, has been woefully lacking the

[crowd noise] mrs. next and -- mrs. nixo n: hello. nice to meet you. julie nixon: hello, i'm a julie. i'm from massachusetts. mr. nixon: you have a great governor there, and a fine senator. >> i'm glad you wore all your buttons. >> i think that is great. and tricia is happy to see you. >> this room is filled him and a couple of rooms out in back. i think it is going very well. he will take all lands that are here, and he will sign autographs for the while -- for a while. i do trypersonal aide, to take care of him and help out ifrever he he wants me to, something comes up. one lady here, for example, he saw in 1952 and he recognized and he mentioned what kind of day it was when they met last time. we are always surprised when he do

mr. nixon: let's do something. nice to meet you. porter: richard nixon's interest in people what they , think, what they do come and the questions they asked, are the focus of president nixon's television conversations. >> in the television material that's been put together an effort has been made to put mr. nixon in front of the panel of people. now, he has never met these people before. he walks on cold meeting with them the first time. the panels are heterogeneous, some are republicans, some are democrats, summer independence. -- some are independent. one panel is a neck or cultural group. another panel is a business group. reporter: television is a vital political meeting place. to be successful, a candidate must use the medium, and use it well. richard nixon holds informal, no holds barred discussions. mr. nixon: where are you from? right here? >> we've heard a lot about you. mr. nixon: people shouldn't be screaming about the surplus, we should be thankful we got it. that's another thing we can make a far greater use of that sur

that's all right. >> mr. nixoncribing the approach in this campaign, a lot has been said a new mr. nixon. how do you feel about that? >> my wife says i got less hair than i had before. the hairline goes back a bit. i'm older. i'm 55, which is seven years older than when i ran before in 1960. i'm more experienced. i know more. i won't make as many mistakes as i might have made if i was elected in 1960. others discovered i had a sense of humor which i think i always had but perhaps people didn't see it. others discovered other things that they seem to find for the first time. let me answer this way. of course i have changed. the people looking at me have changed also. they are looking for a new leadership in this country and taking a fresh look at what i may have to offer. to that extent i am new but in another sense i'm not. i'm really the most difficult man in the world. nobody's going to package me. nobody will make me put on an act for television. i'm not going to engage in any gimmicks or stunts or wear a silly

that's all right. >> mr. nixoning the approach in this campaign a lot has been said about a new mr. nixon. how do you feel about that? >> well, my wife says i've got less hair than i have had before, you know, the hairline goes back a bit here and there and of course i'm older, i'm 55 which is of course seven years older than i was when i ran before in 1960. of course i'm more experienced. i know more. i won't make as many mistakes as i might have made had i been elected in 1960. of course, others discover that i perhaps have a sense of humor which i think i've always had, but perhaps people didn't see it, others discovered other things that they seemed to find for the first time. let me just answer it this way, of course i have changed, but also perhaps the people who are looking at me have changed also. they're looking for a new leadership in this country and they're taking a fresh look at what i may have to offer and i of course am presenting a new case that i was unable to present and did not present in 1960. t

mr. nixon said keep gathering a that we have better quotes than that. but i think mr. nixon believed more than i did that we might wind up with robert kennedy as the candidate. and you'd have another kennedy run. but, again, as i said, i always thought that humphrey was the candidate who had great depth inside the left wing of the democratic part from the '48 convention. he put the civil rights act on the floor of the senate and run it through. he had labor. he could bring together the anti-war groups as eventually he did along with the center of the democratic party. wall street groups, the deep south was gone. >> robert from frost burg, maryland, go ahead, please. >> good morning, mr. buchananen a the lady as well as you mr. skully. i'm a vietnam veteran. and i don't think mr. nixon gets the credit he deserves. even though i vote the most of the time with democrats, i think nixon was a very good president. but what overshadowed his goodness as a president was the vietnam war, watergate and his personality complexes. but some of the decisions he made with civil rights

and mrs.00 people nixon went all through the receiving line. 3000 people, and president mrs. next and went through. there is a sad anecdote. the fellow who was the chairman of our campaign in new hampshire was dave stirling. a very young guy. we did not want to antagonize any we got a young state legislator. he died at that automobile accident but did a great job out there. i will say this. with nixon, in 1968 we studied how nixon overdid it and ran himself into the ground and so did jack kennedy. we went to new hampshire for two days and maybe three days and fly them down where they can relax and take it easy and go into wisconsin. we paste him very well. we knew it was a marathon. i can still remember it. it was just tremendously well if -- well advanced. look how many came out voluntarily, etc.. we had a terrific crowd with 3000 people. that was the kind of event nixon wanted to do. it was just excellent. >> that exchange with a world war i veteran. clearly that was the driving issue of 1968. can you explain what is going on here in this country, how americans are viewing

mr. nixon said keep gathering that. i think he believed more than i did that we might wind up with robert kennedy as the candidate. as i said, i always thought that humphrey was the candidate who had great depth inside the left wing of the democratic party from that 48 convention. he was mr. civil rights. he put the civil rights act on the floor. he had labor. the deep south was gone. >> robert from frostberg, maryland. go ahead. >> caller: good morning. i'm a vietnam veteran. i don't think mr. nixon gets the credit he deserves. i voted most of the time with democrats, i think nixon was a very good president. what overshadow his goodness as a president was the vietnam war, watergate and his personality complexes. some of the decisions he made with civil rights and other issues, epa. nixon was a very good president. just those three things overshadow his presidency. >> thank you for the call. barbara. >> well we now look back at nixon and he thought of himself in many ways as a moderate republican and viewed in those day

. >> mr. nixon about how he would attain it. >> at this point, the war is continuing at as hot a pace as it's ever been. more troops are being killed every week than at any time in the course of the war. >> this weekend, the enemy stepped up attacks across vietnam. >> we knew that we would not be able to influence the republicans on vietnam. so we wanted to put massive pressure on the democrats. i didn't think anything could happen with vietnam without that challenge. ♪ >> this is a cbs news campaign '68 convention special. what's going to happen in chicago? on this eve of the beginning of the 35th democratic national convention, chicago is nearly security-tight. perhaps the heaviest security ever provided for a political gathering in the free world. >> the police, several thousand of them, are now deployed. soldiers have arrived in chicago and are standing by. >> for the convention, the plan was to have a mass anti-war demonstration and a mass counterculture festival. we gathered in the parks. >> w

and of course, mr. nixon said, keep gathering that. we've got better quotes than that. i think mr. nixon thought we might end up with robert kennedy as the candidate and we would have another kennedy run. as i said, i always thought that humphrey had a great depth inside the democratic party from that 48 convention. he was mr. civil rights. he had put the civil rights act on the floor of the senate and run it through for lbj. he had labor. he could bring together the antiwar groups -- as eventually he did -- along with the center of the democratic party. the wallace groups in the deep south. -- deep south were gone. host: robert from maryland. go ahead, please. caller: good morning. i am a vietnam veteran and i do not think that mr. nixon gets the credit he deserves. even though i voted most of the time with democrats, i think nixon was a very good president, but what overshadowed his goodness as a president was the vietnam war, watergate, and his personality complexes. but some of the decisions he made with civil rights and other issues -- epa -- nixon was a very good president. ju

the named actors were questioned or came forward to validate the suggestion that nixon told mitchell or someone to tell mrs. chinault to tell president chu, don't go, you'll get a better deal from nixon. he's not a dumb man. so i don't believe that came up. and one fellow had -- wrote the book recently and said, nixon told haldeman when he heard about the bombing halt, he said throw a monkey wrench in this. >> i don't know if there are tapes of the wiretaps but there are tapes of president johnson talking about this issue. >> treason. >> you can listen to. and he told humphrey this was happening and humphrey refused to release it. >> he didn't believe it too. >> yeah. >> from gaithersburg, maryland, phil. go ahead, please. good morning. >> caller: good morning. thank you for having ms. perry and mr. buchanan on. they're two fabulous guests and i appreciate that c-span, and my comment is i was a history student at the university of maryland in 1968. and the college campus behavior it seems to be 50 years ago was quite different than it is today. many points of view were listened to. many points of view coul

i think mr. nixon believed more than i did that we might wind up with robert kennedy as the candidate. again, as i said, i always thought he was a candidate with great depth in that convention. he was mr. civil rights. he had put it on the floor of the u.s. senate. she could bring together the antiwar groups, as eventually he did, along with the democratic party and groups in the deep south. host: robert from maryland, go ahead. caller: good morning mr. buchanan, and they become a i am -- and lady, i am a vietnam veteran and i don't think mr. nixon gets the credit he deserves. i think nixon was a very good president. but what overshadowed his goodness as a president was the vietnam war and watergate, and his personality complexes, but some of the decisions he made with civil rights and other issues, epa, made him a very good president. just those three things overshadowed his presidency. host: thank you. barbara perry? guest: we now look back at nixon and to god of himself in many ways -- and he talked

. >> i think mr. nixon is an effective leader of his party. i hope he would grant me the same.stion before us is which point of view and which party do we want to lead the united states. >> mr. nixon, would you like to comment on that statement? >> i have no comment. >> if you are live on television and there is a camera right here, there is really no place to hide. once you see a guy sweating when asked a question, are you sure he is the leader for you? >> that's the question before the american people, and only you can decide what you want. what you want this country to bee, what you want to do with the future. i think we're ready to move. >> if you saw it on television, clearly kennedy had won that debate. >> gentlemen, thank you very much for permitting us to present the next president of the united states on this unique program. >> it was the beginning of a new form of political craftsmanship. you could structure the message appropriately for the tv camera you could have a huge impact. and if you couldn't, you were toast. >> i'd like you to give a real tonight welcome to s

. >> mr. nixon easily and he wasn't even campaigning, which shows you how well a politician can do if he keeps his mouth shut. >> here we are. ♪ what kind of choice is this >> mark russell would get on his piano and make gentle fun at politicians, but so gentle that he could go then hang out with them afterwards. ♪ and if he drew no matter which one wins the losers need to leave ♪ >> i would get criticized more often for being too gentle than for being too harsh. i was not a bomb-thrower. i was not an anarchist. i was too safe. >> i kept seeing pictures of kennedy and khrushchev together, which they look like they need a new caption. the pictures were fine. it looked like, dad, may i have the keys to the car? >> mort saw was overtly political and partisan. the idea of a comedian really taking a stand, having a point of view, this was something new. >> when john kennedy was president, mort saul was doing bits about kennedy. he just saw himself as the guy whose job it was to go after whoever was in po

i am a vietnam veteran and i do not think that mr. nixon gets the credit he deserves.oodnk nixon was a very president, but what overshadowed his goodness as a president was the vietnam war, watergate, and his personality complexes. but some of the decisions he made with civil rights and other asues -- epa -- nixon was very good president. just those three things overshadow his presidency. host: thank you for the call. barbara perry. at the: we now look back end, and i think nixon thought of himself as a moderate republican and he was viewed in those days, in 1968, as a moderate republican. he could be viewed in the center the train someone like a reagan -- we have not talked about his have --, i'm sure we and rockefeller on the left side of the party. when we look back at richard nixon almost one and a half see ain office, we can number of things he did that people on the liberal side now say good for him. that awould call nixon progressive republican. there were 31,000 dead. he is exactly right. the american people agreed with the gentleman. richard nixon after all 14

i had talked to bryce harlow, who was very close to the president, to mr. nixon. and basically tell him that this is going -- if this happens again, it's going to be totally publicized. president johnson decided not to leak this or tell this to anyone. mr. scully: why? former rep. jones: he said that if nixon were elected anyway, he would be impeached right off the bat because this is a treasonable offense and he did not want to see the presidency or that institution disrupted that way. that was the main reason. so, he didn't tell anybody. very few people even knew about this. but it did, in my judgment, had that not happened, we would have had a peace agreement before the president left office. mr. scully: we get the impression through history that it was a tortured last year for lyndon johnson, but you were with him. what was his mood, what was he like, what was going through his mind with regard to vietnam, the election of 1968 and of course at that same time the assassination of dr. king and later, senator robert kennedy? former rep. jones: well, it was a very,

a mr moeller directly as mob a matic when president nixon did that to archibald cox a court held it was illegal because you've got to change the regulations first moreover the firing of mr cox was used as evidence of corruption of justice in the articles of impeachment voted by the house judiciary committee and ultimately voted by the house of representatives before president nixon resigned so even if there is a technical power in the president to fire mr moeller it could be used as evidence of an impeachable offense a corrupt motive to obstruct justice is what we have here and lastly i'd make this observation the effort to try to denigrate if you will in stigmatize mr mckay when he was already scheduled to resign and be out of the equation so you have no more involvement in the investigation within twenty four hours in my judgment again is some circumstantial evidence that mr trump is trying to intimidate witnesses to tell them in any time you oppose me i will use the bully pulpit to try to defame you and destroy your reputation and that also fits into this larger pattern if you will b

of course, walter peterson was with mr. nixon. george romney was toying around, and i didn't even know who he was, but i'll tell you that nelson rockefeller was in the state of new hampshire. he was romancing everybody all around, and when he came to portsmouth, he got all the predominantly republican men and women to go to the rockingham hotel which was a great thing at that time to have a little get together. lots of drinks. i think i had my first martini in that rockingham hotel. >> or the last one. >> started to build that terrible habit, but he really romance the republican spirit the one night i'm talking about at the rockingham was early, you know, pre-dinnertime, and there was a big crowd there. when it was over, we all went up to the portsmouth high school because nixon was having a rally up there, so we got everything taken care of on the rockefeller side and we all went over to the high school to meet and greet with richard nixon. you know, listening to the -- the democrats, as they have been talking about the primary a

nixon wanted to bring richardson in, kind of mr. raight arrow, because he could redeem the justice department as attorney general, and of course that was all part of trying to suck richardson into the cover-up, which he wouldn't -- >> but nixon, when he brought richardson to camp david, if my memory serves me correct, he had this talk with richardson in which he said, a, don't take the job unless you think i'm innocent. but you have to protect the presidency from the president. so on the one hand, he gave richardson hope that this investigation would be legit and independent, and at the same time, he was sort of asking for a loyalty test, it seems. >> yes. but it really was part of the cover-up. >> yes. >> it was to bring richardson in, and we know from the tapes and the things during this period, it was all a front. >> from the beginning? >> well, i -- yes. from the beginning of nixon's presidency. and this is the point that -- you know, we've written about this. there were all kinds of wiretaps on reporters. >> break-ins. >> break-

i think mr. nixond more than i did that we might wind up with robert kennedy as the candidate. again, as i said, i always thought he was a candidate with great depth in that convention. he was mr. civil rights. he had put it on the floor of the u.s. senate. she could bring together the antiwar groups, as eventually he did, along with the democratic party and groups in the deep south. host: robert from maryland, go ahead. caller: good morning mr. buchanan, and they become a i am -- and lady, i am a vietnam veteran and i don't think mr. nixon gets the credit he deserves. i think nixon was a very good president. but what overshadowed his goodness as a president was the vietnam war and watergate, and his personality complexes, but some of the decisions he made with civil rights and other issues, epa, made him a very good president. just those three things overshadowed his presidency. host: thank you. barbara perry? guest: we now look back at nixon and to god of himself in many ways -- and he talked of him

. >> mr. nixon, would you like to comment on that statement?t. >> kennedy from then on never had to answer the question am i serious enough and am i equal to this guy who has had eight years in the white house? >> kennedy and nixon slug it out for six more weeks in one of the hardest fought presidential campaigns in history. >> today on election day, the big question is how will the people vote? >> america may be choosing a president, but they're also determining the destiny of the kennedy dynasty. >> the whole family gathered in hyannis port. they set up a war room. they brought in dozens and dozens of phone lines to communicate with campaign directors all over the country, and they waited. >> it appears that senator kennedy is moving into the lead. >> but as the night went on, the early lead that kennedy had seemed to drift away. >> when ohio went for nixon, the kennedy team began to wonder whether they would win this at all. >> senator kennedy's early lead of two million votes dwindles perilously as the returns come in from the western state

. >> now, mr. nixon, please don't try to talk over me which is what liberals do.ot a racist. and you and others are concluding that he is a racist. based upon your speculation from some statements that were made. you have no evidence, no results that suggest that he's a racist. secondly, i, like laura, i know mr. trump. i can spot racism 3,000 miles away. he doesn't have a racist bone in his body, based upon my own personal experience. but in that particular study that you have been referencing, every incident identified is based upon speculating that he must have been saying something racist when, in fact, he was not saying anything racist. >> well, rubbings it's 21% of republicans think i is racist according to this poll, shocking. democrats 85% her man. do you believe 21% of republicans think donald trump is a racist? i don't know who these republicans are. i don't know if they belong in the republican party. to me, it's crazy u they can disagree with his policies that's fine or say he shouldn't tweet that's fine. >> exactly, disagree with his policies, yes. yo

mr. richard nixon. george romney was toying around and i did not know who he was. but i will tell you that nelson ro rockerfeller was in the state of new hampshire, he was romancing everybody all around. he got predominantly republicans, men and women going to the rock and ham hotel which was a great thing at that time to have a little get together which was ultra plus. a lot of drinks. i think i had my first martini in that hotel. starting to build that terrible habit. >> he really romanced the republica republicans. the one night i am talking about at the rockingham, it was early and pre-dinner time. there was a big crowd there. when it was over, we all went up, nixon was having a rally up there. we got everything taken care of on the rockerfeller side, we all went to the high school to meet and greet with richard nixon. listen to the democrats talking about the primary and what happened between the primary and the election, i don't want anybody to believe that the republicans were just sweeping. the sweeping giants came forth on primary day and again in november

mrs. pence. pat nixon serves as a second lady. what do you think you can learn from mrs. nick ?on nixon? >> i love the new video that you have. i got to see that at dinner, and -- she had an awful lot of firsts. and i think -- i think what i learned from that video tonight is she took the office of second lady and then first lady and made it her own. and i think that's something i've learned in just the short time i've been second lady is that -- you know, you're just there for a little amount of time, and so many times when we're traveling around the country or visiting military families or children, hospitals, or a lot of our vets we have a lot of art big programs involved in with our vets. just to have this second lady take the time to spend time with them, means so much. it's not so much karen pence or pat nixon or lynn cheney or jill biden. it's that role, it's while you're in that position to be able to take the time out and spend time with people and -- you know, there were so many great clips of pat nixon doing that. and she really did it for the right reasons. i mean, she had a

part of the letter includes, the latter part of january, 1968, mr. nixonat on that day he was announcing the new hampshire primary and wanted me to know my influence had been a decisive factor in his decision. in the july 1968 issue of good housekeeping he is quoted as saying, billy graham the evangelist was in florida and we took long walks on the beach talking. in the end i decided if they wa wanted me it would be worth all the hell. billy graham had a lot of to do with the decision and thus i felt i had a small part in a historical decision, end quote. billy graham sent that letter in 1976 as nixon's request as he was writing his memoirs and has never been released until now. so many presidents talk about the private moments they had with billy graham and george bush talked about the walk on the beach in maine and how it changed his life. >> sandra: and helped guide his decisions. amazing stuff. the reverend, billy graham, his casket leaving the capital and his funeral tomorrow. he'll be buried next to his wife -- >> bill: ruth, that's right. our covera

say is i have been a hunter my whole life and usually when i take a dear down, it's one-shot will mr. nixonok a bunch of wealthy republicans to china and they set up contracts to build factories there. things was that they could never form a union in those factories to keep the wages down. ander two, nude gingrich the republican party took all off the stuff that was brought into the united states. that was starting the demise of our middle class. they took all of our jobs and contractngrich made a with the wealthy people in the united states that he would kill every union he could and the ones he couldn't kill, he would make them so weak they could not help their workers. it was the republican party that has killed the middle class. thank you. host: coming up, the weekly standard will be here to discuss a recent article from the me too movement and its affect on the broader feminist movement and later on, the huffington post will discuss women's role in the gone viral's debate. first, this week's newsmakers in tribute david mcintosh. twoacs involved in midterm elections and he talks about t

mr. block's opinion of eisenhower failing to control mccarthy and nixon went too far. might perhaps persuade voters not to vote for him. it didn't run. it did run in the areas where mr. block was syndicated in the other newspapers. what you need to know about this cartoon, "washington post" readers missed it. they knew a cartoon had appeared elsewhere. it hadn't appeared their home town paper. they are angry. "washington post" ran every single cartoon that mr. block chose to draw after that. he had a lot of power at the post as a cartoonist. web see that mr. block's art style evolved from that midwestern pen and ink drawn to very loose drawing style. he used whiteout both as a way to control his mistakes and enhance his i believe. on this canoe being guided by president kennedy, he's got budget written in whiteout on top of the ink and pencil so that it stand out in his cartoon. kennedy was hard for most cartoonist to draw. he was a handsome looking fella. he really hadn't found big ears or big nose or something that stood out to make him look funny. he kind of looked g

woodward and bernstein had to spend months and find a source to link nixon to the watergate break-in. mr. bloch true footsteps leading directly to the white house. other scandals were originated. nixon.areful not to draw this cartoon said you are not really going to run that by you. when he said yes, she went ok. she was prepared for the call she was going to get the next morning when that paper landed on people's front porches. involved in treating negotiations. if you know your constitution you know it's not the president who gets assigned treating death assigned treaties. -- assigned treaties. a congressman, a generic that.ssman can't do we haven't agreed to anything yet. bloch is also -- there are constitutional differences between the white house and the u.s. capital. finally when we have a cartoon during the bush administration, ,eorge w. bush administration mr. bloch believes strongly in separation of church and state. he believed that funding for religious groups violated that. one way he depicted it, of course, is by showing the newspaper headline. the guy rolling his eye and lo

nixon's acting repertoire should prepare her for the day-to-day political conduct. >> there's a big pile of tutus coming at me. >> laura: mr i heard nixon got some good reviews for her recent appearance on broadway. somehow i think in this case her political act may be closing out of town. well, we want to tell you that all week long were going to be doing a special series on the lawlessness of the democratic party. you do not want to miss it. not a day, not a night. we want to hear from you about tonight's show. tweet me. that's all the time we have. shannon bream takes things from here. >> shannon: i'm going to tweet that you had a great show right after i finished the show. here's what we have, chief national correspondent ed henry and chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge track the latest abutments after the presidents refers to robert mueller by name for the first time and causes collusion probe a witch hunt. mark walker ties into the debate over the deep state following stunning newport numbers. will investigate the facebook data controversy as a campaign division drops a bombshell. what she says helps

mr. eisenhower, general eisenhower had a heart attack, nixon went to visit him in the hospital, nixon was vice president and general eisenhower said, hi, dick, dick nixon said is there anything i can do for you, general? general eisenhower said, you can take your foot off my oxygen tube. what happened here mr. trump has taken the foot off the oxygen tube by letting all the deregulation happen. the markets know, the economy knows, trump is on their side. trish: it is amazing, just amazing. you know, anecdotally i have talked to a lot of business owners, and they all tell me the same thing. they are so relieved. they really feel like for the first time they have a partner as opposed to someone that wants to fight business. they said this deregulation stuff it is a biggie. do not underestimate what that has done, how it has freed us. >> it has freed us in some ways. it freed the minds of executives to say we can make plans for the future, we can make plans for the future in terms of hiring, plant and equipment, buying land and developing it, excavating for materials. it freed them in many, m

nixon, the whole story. now whether donald trump had his lawyer look into this whole question, i seriously doubt. but if his lawyers came to him and said, look, mrpresident, this kind of thing got richard nixon in trouble, don't tell your people to claim executive privilege, that's something that would certainly get donald trump's attention. fully aware of the whole nixon story in his own trumpian kind of way. >> so michael, the question that anyone would ask thinking through this is do the trump folks get away with anything more by doing it halfway? by claiming they're not really doing it? >> well, i guess the one thing is, they're not lying, and they're not committing perjury, and many of the nixon white house aides actually took the extra step and lied to congress and committed crimes. but i think they're still impeding the investigation, think what the white house is trying to do is have the pretext of cooperation, and behind closed doors, we don't know the questions and answers, they can invoke their privilege without having the political consequences of having people stone wall. the meeting you referred to, that march 22 meeting back in th

mr. president, you're going to order me to fire him in the protest, you see the subheadline, the explanation, attorney general says he couldn't oust prosecutor sites vow. he could not carry out president nixon's order to discharge the watergate prosecutor in light of the pledge to provide mr. cox with full authority to contest claims of executive privilege. during his confirmation hearings, mr. richardson promised the prosecutor would have unimpeded authority to subpoena from any source including the president himself. elliott richardson insisted hec and he promised the special proos c prosecutor would not be dismissed except for improprieties on his part. if there wasn't special improprieties on his part, he wouldn't fire the guy. he was nominated to be attorney general in the middle of the water skate scandal. the previous attorney general ended up going to prison on perjury and b ocobstruction of justice charges on the same day he ousted john dean and john all of whom would go to prison for waterga watergate. so when those guys were being pushed out and trying to bring in a new attorney general, comes time for the senate to confirm the new attorney general in the watergate scandal and they

mr. president, you don't have my vote. and that led to nixon's ultimate resignation.here the principle of these republican senators saying to the president you don't have my vote. if you fire mueller, you don't have my vote. we will come back and appoint somebody new if not mueller himself and you'll have to face the consequences of that act. i think that's what's going on here most. >> i tend to agree that the cost of doing this is incredibly high. before we discounted the notion that the president would do it, we have to remember he tried once to do it. he asked don mcgahn to fire robert mueller according to "the new york times" and he wouldn't do that. it is out there as a possibility. another big story that's taking place before our very eyes is this facebook thing which gets bigger and more complicated as days go on here. we know that cambridge analytica had access to the 50 million voter information and now we're seeing from britain these stories about cambridge analytica and what they're trying to do to pick up clients here. and i think biggest of big pictures,
