and in fact in his memoir he said after my reelection, which he won i made haste to continue my mandate to build this new majority, which is the majority of what became democrats and catholics and southerners and all the rest. so i think he wanted to be reagan. >> i think basically i do agree. in some regards i think he was more conservative than reagan. >> he certainly didn't have the heart for racial equality. >> no, not at all. and things like epa, you can hear where he would talk to someone would be active in some of these more moderate is not progressive domestic policies where he had no interest in them and he would say just don't get me in trouble politically. >> using clinically untrained incredible. it was in regards to the philadelphia plan. because he could get democratic unions and democratic african-americans he could rip apart the democratic party. >> was this me merely and expedition? >> there is an appendix in the book, where every -- every time i found something in the case were there is knowledge of where the break-in occurred, i put a footnote for the appendix and i collected them all
