this is a self-portrait of richard richard st. george after the revolutionary war, and it's signed on the back, richard manser st. george by himself. and it depicts him in this melon colic landscape with a cap and robe, the silver plate that was put in his head that he received, because of the wound he received at the battle of germantown. this is a really important sketch as well. the only known post-war artwork by richard st. george. and then there also appeared at about the same time, another portrait of st. george, him in his black silk cap. it was sold by phillip molds to a private collector in the early 2010s, so just less than a decade ago, and it's a really incredible portrait of a veteran of the revolutionary war, how he looked like -- what he looked like after the war. so all of this coming together, all of this artwork has never been thought about together before, but now it is being thought about together, and at the center of it is this man, richard st. george, manser st. george. so let's take a step back and find out

richard st. george, who joined the british side. the pritzker museum was a cohost of the event as part of a three day international conference. >> i can hear you all buzzing about the exhibition. before i introduce our speaker i'd like to introduce myself. i am dr. elizabeth grant and i am director of education here at the museum of the american revolution. it is my true pleasure to introduce our next speaker, lead curator of our exhibition. life and death of an irish soldier. the recent review in the "philadelphia inquirer" proclaims this has it all -- love, death, psycho drama. it goes on to describe the life story of richard st. george, the exhibition's starring figure a wealthy irish nobleman who finds himself on the wrong side of two revolutions in america and ireland as quote part diggens with a spritz of yankee doodle. parts drama queen. there is no doubt richard st. george's story from his traumatic head wound and life saving surgery here in philadelphia to his demise at the hands of his

richard st. joernl. the museum, the pritzker military museum and library and the richard c. von hess foundation cohosted this event. >> i can hear you all buzzing about the exhibition you had an opportunity to see this morning. so before i introduce our next speaker, i would like to introdouse myself. my name is dr. elizabeth grant and i'm director of education here at the museum of the american revolution, and it's my true pleasure to introduce our next speaker, matthew skic. lead curator of our newest exhibition, cost of revolution, life and death of an irish soldier. a recent review in the philadelphia inquirer boldly proclaims this exhibition has it all, love, death, psychodrama. it goes on to describe the life story of richard st. george, the exhibition's starring figure, a wealthy irish nobleman who finds himself in the wrong side of two revolutions in america and ireland, as, quote, part dickens with a spritz of yankee doodle, part daus evskin drama queen. so there's no doubt that richard

what did richard say?he questioned if i was all right, he questioned where was mom, and he said who do you think it is? someone you know? >> why would richard think that you might know the people who broke into the house? >> he felt like i was the one who got tied up and they came into my room. so he was just questioning, is it something having to do with you? did they have a personal vendetta on you or anything? >> as you'll see, that is a question that would could that up again. after the call, richard left work and drove to the house but the police tape was already up and they wouldn't let him through. >> i was really freaking out. what's going on? i was asking him, where is my mom at? where is my mom at? >> police took richard and ryan to the station. the boys were surprised to find themselves split up and sitting in separate interview rooms. ryan's hands were bagged to preserve any evidence. but before detective cosmetic ask too many questions -- richard asked one of his own. >> can i talk to my mom,

emily, richard, good to see you. richard, your reaction? >> richard: good to see you, harris.present lease peacefully and i think he will. more importantly, and democrats should be focused on what most democrats on the ground a focus on, registering people to vote, educating them about what issues on the ballot, and pushing them to get to the polls more so than anything else. when i went to vote in d.c. there was a three hour wait time, so beyond that we are also urging people to register, and absentee ballots, make sure you get your mail in ballots in and make sure you mail them in on time. that's the most important thing you can do in this election. if you believe black lives matter, if you join the protests, if you think there is something wrong with how the white house is conducting business, food and this upcoming election and let your voice be heard. >> harris: all right, so, richard doesn't think it will be effective to make stuff up about what the president might do, because there is no evidence that he wouldn't leave. but he also turned that moment and to come emily,

in front of the city hall as well, richard. moved the protestors and the violin players who showed up tonight here have moved as well. so that violin vigil continues and many of the folks who came out here to honor the memory of elijah mcclain have lit candles. they have moved over beyond police officers, again, to honor the memory of elijah mcclain. as we saw it here, there were a number of protestors starting around lunchtime. one on the corner in front of the police department. a black lives matter took place by city hall. some students had a protest. and there was some warnings from the police department, richard, that protest as they saw it had become an illegal demonstration. there was a sound weapon that could be used to disperse protestors. that hasn't been used yet. and you saw police backtrack as the night went on. they allowed protestors to remain. just about 30 minutes ago, they declared an illegal demonstration once again. and the police officers you see behind me, came out in a straight line, and systematically, v

>> richard: usually.after people watched the tape of george floyd where the police officer had his knee in his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, we are in a different lexicon. covid-19 has impacted african-american households more so than subgroup population, we have a -- disproportionately rather. there's a real moment here that the media will continue to have to cover because people will continue protesting until they see action, both on the state and local level as kat pointed out. howie: all right, so let me turn to the charges filed this week by county prosecutors in atlanta in the shooting death of rayshard brooks, one of the officers charged with murder. i still can't believe that finding a drunk guy in a car escalates where he ends up dead. at the same time you look at surveillance video that everybody seems, brooks did get into the scuffle, was fleeing, turned back and fired it at one of the officers, kat, are the media kind of dismissing the argument that this officer might have been fearful fo

to discuss this and more i'm joined by my guest richard wolffe in new york he is a professor emeritus of economics at the university of massachusetts amherst as well as the author of the recent books understanding socialism and understanding marxism and in chicago or which he has a chief marketing strategist bubba trading all right gentleman rules in effect that means you can jump in time while i was appreciate todd let me go to you as you just heard in my introduction you know that we have an ongoing deep recession i think as of this morning the i.m.f. came out with their global projections and a contraction of about 5 percent globally the u.s. doesn't do much better the industrialized world is more or less in the same position but at the same time as i said you know we how the wealthiest among us. keeping in enormous revenues and profits here and the unemployment depending on who you want to look at it from 13 maybe 17 percent and that's not going to go away any time soon so what's really happening with the the economy or it's a recession deep recession for many and it's a goldilock

david and richard.vid, talk about this reform and how it is playing out. >> it's playing out badly, harris, as we have seen across america, especially in new york city. there are more proposals put forward by legislators who pushed this initiative. it's not about who should or not be in. but who deserves to be out. no bail reform is a huge failure. as we report on the news about those who violate beinglet out of jail it's people who should not have been let out. i talk to prosecutors and law enforcement across the country. this idea that these are just people that deserve a chance. not all do. only some do. >> harris: richard, your reaction. let's pop this up on the screen. santa monica's police chief is facing calls to resign after there was video of looting that appeared to show officers standing by as more than 80 stores were ransacked. how do you react to this? >> this "wall street journal" editorial talked about what makes cities stronger. cities will be stronger when everybody in those cities beli

richard? >> all right, thank you so much. very latest there ellison bashn barber, in branson. >>> a steady wave of racially charged incidents across the country unfortunately come to light. police in madison, wisconsin have launched a hate crime investigation after an 18-year-old biracial woman was set on fire. althea bernstein says she was driving and stopped at a red light when she heard someone yell out a racial epithet. she then noticed four white men, one of whom sprayed liquid in her face, threw a flaming lighter at her thereafter. she suffered second and third-degree burns. luckily you see there she is recovering. >>> in colorado, the three officers involved in the confrontation that left elijah mcclain dead last year have been put on desk duty after mass outrage and protests across the country, mcclain's death is now being reexamined. mcclain was stopped by three white officers on his way home from a convenience store after a 911 caller described him as suspicious. he was wearing a ski mask, which his family says he o

joining us now, and richards, richards,ways -- anne who has always made us smarter.hen you look at the potential for a v-shaped recovery, how difficult is it to gauge it right now, given the possibility of a second wave? what kind of recovery do you respect the world to go through? to 2008, 2u go back thousand nine, the financial crisis, what you had was unconventional monetary policy and conventional fiscal policy. we knew that meant a long, slow recovery. what we are looking at today is unconventional monetary policy again, but you might argue unconventional fiscal policy and we have this government intervention from many countries around the world, which effectively is buying us time, trying to make this quarter of economic activity go away in the back on, and it is a big gamble, like unconventional monetary policy was back in the financial crisis. i think it is way too early to say that fiscal intervention is enough to generate a rapid v-shaped bounceback. that is a bold statement and it has certainly helped a lot, but it is too early to expect we can be confiden

richard: several fallouts.ces the stature and standing of the united states, makes it much more difficult for us to find fault with others when the chinese crackdown in hong kong. the most profound impact will be it will increase the tendency of the united states to turn away from the world and look inward. there will be a sense we have to deal with the pandemic that is unlikely to go away soon, you have massive numbers of unemployment, you have a country that is divided by race, by politics. we are about to go into an incredibly contested election. not clear how well will be able to handle that. ,or all of these reasons whoever is president after november, but also now, i think the country will have a general sense we do not have the luxury of focusing on the world. we have to take care of ourselves. how does china respond, how does pressure respond? it will embolden them in terms of the policies they are pursuing? what you think the ultimate ramifications of that is on the approach coming from washington? ric

against the markets but that's exactly what they're doing they're picking winners all of the time richard go ahead. yeah i think i agree that we are in a. zan state of capitalisms desperate effort to survive where perhaps i disagree a little bit is in looking at the government or the federal reserve or the treasury as somehow the place to start understanding what's going wrong i don't see it that way i see capitalism as a system that gets itself periodically into trouble lets remember the national bureau of economic research and many other institutions have traced through the rise and fall of capitalism's instability its business cycles if you like every 47 years we have a downturn that's the average and typically if it takes longer than 47 years which it did since the last crash in 2009 you pay for the longer upswing by either a longer or a sharper downswing we are now in a longer deeper downswing we would have been in any case the pandemic only makes it worse blaming the pandemic is a desperate effort to allay facing the instability that dreamed that capitalism has always brought with i

richard goodstein a democratic strategist a warm welcome to you all jason thankfully a quiet nights on choose date but the protests continue in large number will it be enough momentum do you think with them to really affect what happens in november or if they peter out will there be no impact. well that's not a difficult question and this is something that's been going on since you know my parents' generation there was watts there was detroit of course we all remember able to one in 1992 in los angeles and so and of course in my own city and 2015 it on april 25th so you know it's very difficult for me to say that this is going to be the watershed moment where we've seen these moments so often what i can say is that if we don't have a serious reckoning in our society with these issues and with systemic oppression and white supremacy overall we're going to have this happen more frequently and it's going to get even more intense but as far as saying that this is going to motivate people in washington and people in power to make changes i'm not so sure that i can say that based on their hi

richard: is a big concern among some people.t was one of the other concerns boeing had about the bailout package that some of it might be in the form of equity, toch is seen as a backdoor greater levels of government control. we have not gotten there yet. things are not that dire. a lot of people view this as a sprint, it is a marathon. a multiyear process in terms of manufacturing we are nowhere near the bottom of where things are headed. moments where the state has to step in, that level of ownership, it is quite possible. toure hope it does not come that is a permanent solution, because governments are not great at making commercial customers happy. we are still in the midst of dealing with the wto and the of the wide bodies for airbus that came from state aid and the reciprocal, which has been resolved for boeing. going forward, to those arguments stack up? the government is now heavily involved in aerospace. by what is going on today in france and elsewhere in the united states is going to have a much bigger role to play. h

richard: we should have others on our side here.es and partners is the great structural advantage of american foreign-policy. to throw only the advantage makes no sense to me. just take china and india coming to blows along their disputed border area. if there was ever a great time to get india to align itself closer to us against china, you would've thought this was it. relations.s.-india have been mired in bilateral trade disputes. we are hammering the japanese and korean over how much they spend on the military, u.s. forces being based there. again, they are natural allies to rein in china. the transpacific partnership, the first big foreign-policy decision this president made was not to join. tot was the best way associate ourselves with any like-minded countries and could raise the standards that china would have to meet in the way of trade. we talk tough on occasion, but again, the policy is somewhere between weak and incoherent. david: a supporter of president trump would say the multilateral did not work well. wto, but itint

richard, thank you. thank you so much. >>> back here we're going to go to louisville in just a moment. first, though, we want to take a moment to remember 77-year-old retired police captain david dorn. he was shot and killed protecting a friend's pawnshop from looters in st. louis, missouri. he was a member of the st. louis police department for 38 years. police say so far they've made no arrests. they say they have no suspects, but authorities have announced a $10 sthou reward for any information that leads to an arrest. through ancestry i learned so much about

is richard walker in brussels thank you very much. well in the u.s. several states that were the 1st to ease lock down restrictions are now seeing a drastic surge in coronavirus cases large states like texas and florida are ordering some businesses to close again after record numbers of new infections at white house officials insist the pandemic is under control and some local leaders continue to downplay the threat of the disease. one step forward 2 steps back states like texas and florida have been left reeling progress towards reopening has been put on pause with surging infection rates in both states in texas nearly 6000 new coronavirus cases were recorded on thursday prompting the governor to close by as a met restaurants to 50 percent capacity it's a similar story in florida 9000 new cases were reported on friday nearly doubling the previous record set army 2 days early on. many states are experiencing the highest infection rate since the crisis began in a sign the spike is being taken seriously by the white house the coronavirus task force held

as you know if you are home at cfr, richard haass wears many hats. that of veteran diplomat, of ambassador, of professor, u.s. coordinator on the future of afghanistan, special envoy for northern ireland, frequent morning joe contributor and of course our fearless leader, the president of the nonpartisan council or foreign relations since 2003. today we're here convenes to listen to richard haass the prolific author and academic who just came out with yet another book entitled "not very ambushesly as he said, slightly ambushesly" the world, a brief history in 300 pages. he calls it a little bit of a departure from his previous books. i want to start because it was only after you turned in the manuscript that the world was confront by the covid-19 pandemic, and in the roughly two months since that happened, this crisis has highlighted so many of the themes and concepts you tackle in the book. so i wanted to just ask you outright, what does the pandemic tell us about the world right now? >> well, thank you, ju-ju, thank you for doing this. thanks alway

fundraiser hello to you richard so tell us what can we expect from today's fund raising summit.yeah well it's the latest in a series of events that have been aimed at raising money but also awareness for the importance of the global corporation in the fight against the corona virus and today's event is something of a hybrid really we've had politicians taking part we just saw it was a laugh on the line in the clips there from the european commission but also a lot of entertainers so there's been some advance like a sort of mini panel discussion that featured the prime minister of norway and miley cyrus and then there was quite a long interview with one of the bad guys from game of thrones so a little bit of a hybrid going on today later on there's going to be a concert also with a lot of big stars performing in that but they have been some concrete results like the 5000000000 we just saw from the european commission the german side also chipping in more money announcing 383000000 euros additionally for these international efforts and i think the whole thing just aimed at underli

and joining me now from brussels is his chief international editor richard walker hello richard so what was the outcome off today's meeting. well not a huge amount came out of the meeting at all really the presidents of both european council and the european commission to partner press conference after those talks and they were pretty clear that the 2 sides are made very very far apart on a large number of issues and it's really is exposing the tough time that europe is having in really trying to calibrate a coherent stance towards china as china gets more and more powerful more and more assertive on the world stage now the thing is that europe wants better relations with china particularly on the area of trade and it really wants to find progress on this investment deal that they were talking about today but that investment deal has been years in the making already the negotiations on that go back fully 7 years and the 2 sides had said that this would be the year where they make a breakthrough but the implication from the 2 presidents today was that they remain very far apart that chin

i think it was richard nixon who got the idea.alking about it before he became president of where he won the election in 1968 he'd written an article if it in which he said sooner or later china must become part of the community of nations he'd given talk and i had a very interesting conversation who said he remembers talking to nixon about this in 1968 and nixon said, i'm going to go to peking. the record at the time is that henry kissinger was surprised when nixon said it, kissinger now says and has said in his memoirs that he and nixon were always at one on this. and it's absolutely true when kissinger realized this was an nixon thinking he saw the possibilities and saw the advantage of an opening to china and worked very hard on it. my sense that it was nixon who was there pushing it. >> you say in the back of your interviews and oral histories the interview henry kissinger in paris may 15 2003 and may 18, 2003, what were the circumstances? >> was at a conference, i've been invited to the conference by a friend who knew henry

richard: you sold us some drums.s at sjc seem to be better than they've been in a long time. the process is working, and the business has ramped up really nicely. on an annualized basis, we could do as much as $1.8 million, almost doubling the business. i'm now in the process of finalizing a licensing deal with the school of rock. i think the thing that's most exciting about it is that not only is it gonna be the brand of our entry-level drum, but a portion of the proceeds are gonna go towards scholarships, allowing more kids to go there and learn and enjoy music.

video was presented by the richard nixon foundation carried mr. johnson: president's and's administration is regarded as one of the most pro-indian of the 20th century. it ushered in a new era of self-government. native americans found a champion in president nixon. a stance that resulted from his personal history and his consultation with indian leaders who helped shape his view of indian affairs. this policy breakthrough took place in an atmosphere of indian activism and even militancy. and in a famous incident, a group of activists took over alcatraz island in 1969 reclaiming it as indian land during their occupation. assertion of cultural identity and land claims, president and advanced a successful proposal to repeal termination and congress acted on his reform. in his special message to congress on july 8, 1970, president and said -- both as a matter of justice and as a matter of enlightened social policy, we must begin to act on the basis of what the indians themselves have long been telling us. the time has come to break decisively with th

wolfe a richard a one of the stories we've been following all along piqued again this week as we're reading that prices for food we eat at home are up sharply this is a 46 year spike according to one and now assess why is this happening and can we expect prices to stabilize after the pandemic i'm afraid that it was here is not very good news to basic reality. between the inner ability for us to prepare for the pandemic and now the difficulties we have managing it remember we still have less than 5 percent of our people even tested so we don't even know where that newsies is you've had these massive closures all kinds of businesses and that includes directly or indirectly the food business and the food companies to whether they grow it or process it or ship in or sell it to you in that store they're suffering like everybody else and like everybody else they're desperately trying to figure out how to save their businesses so they're cutting back on employees that's one of the reasons we have so much unemployment they're cutting back and not paying the rent in april and may for example

richard: look at the united states.e've got covid, we've got the protests, we've got the economic problems, and it is quite possible that countries around the world are looking to take advantage of a divided and distracted united states. so north korea might see this as an opportunity to pressure the south to relieve sanctions. north korea wants economic relief. the south korea relationship is bad because the u.s. has been hammering them. it is possible the north koreans decided to put pressure on the south to see if they couldn't cut a better deal. i know you know, and this is the legacy of the wright college -- oberlin [laughter] physics for poets, tom. an oberlinow, as physics giant, that there is a vacuum out there, and the vacuum is president trump and his foreign policy. what happens after one term trump or two to trump when we try to close that vacuum? richard: i think there is a vacuum. there is a pattern of serial withdrawal, a pattern of isolationism and unilateralism. i would look at the vacuum as being allow

richard: the pressure continues to build.you look at the rate right now, in kentucky, in mitch mcconnell's home state, you have over 40% of the people in , pre-pandemic labor force, have filed for unemployment benefits. 40%, and he says wait, there is nothing to do? in georgia, it is 45%. the numbers are staggering. pressure continues to build and he continues to do nothing at his own peril. he and other people running on that same do-nothing ticket, ande people suffer and die, get laid off more and more, he does so at his own peril. i think we get the heroes act passed, and i think we get it done in the month of june. much, thank you so richard. always a treat to have you with us. he is the president of the afl-cio. later today, wall street week is back. we will be with someone with allianz and larry summers to talk about the job numbers that we got today. this is "balance of power" on bloomberg television and radio. ♪ david: this is "balance of power" on bloomberg television and radio. i'm david westin. president trump took

richard you among others have reminded us from time to time that the stock market is not the economy and doesn't now prove that to wall street has a history of hating uncertainty but the bull market seems undaunted i'm down to about 30 seconds so this may be unfair but why do you reckon all this chaos has been priced in. i think the reality is that the stock market believes that there is no uncertainty that the government the federal reserve the united states government will follow the money in going to stock market give it to the rich finds insurance companies and all of that sales roll the money into the stock market it becomes that enormous a casino funded by the united states government they're convinced that republicans and democrats alike won't divert from that pattern and that's why they're confident in buying in recent weeks and that's why it's so out of touch with the reality of the rest of them. i hope everyone watching remembers what you said you know university of massachusetts professor emeritus richard wolffe thanks again for your time coming up when race riots broke ou

s chief international editor richard walker richard so what came out of today's meeting. well christine to be honest not a huge amounts the e.u. leaders the top leaders the presidents of the council and the commission held a press conference. after those talks and they used quite sort of familiar language really talking about having had an open and substantial exchange also on issues where they're far apart from the chinese side but on the concrete issues where they say they really want to make progress on this investment treaty for instance that you just mentioned there they said that that progress has not been made and they really urge particularly urge the chinese side to come forward and also on the very difficult issue of human rights where china is threatening to impose this national security law which she will rights groups say will release a very undermine the freedoms of people in hong kong there was tough language from love on the line in particular from the president of the european commission but nothing really threatening that the european union would impose

richard: sure. think the key right now in terms of the volatility is that for an investor, you need to be very selective right now. it is very hard to predict what the recovery part is going to look like. we are seeing all kinds of shapes being discussed. it is really hard to predict what the recovery part is going to look like. investors, we really think you need to focus on areas where you are seeing structural change. the europeant green deal, 5g network deployment, 5g is going to become a vital part of the economic roadmap going forward. we think these are the areas investors need to focus. need to generate cash backed by robust balance sheets. trying to shift away from trying to recovery ads because that is going to be difficult and focus on these structural change areas. i think that is really where you need to be thinking right now as an investor. returns canind of an average risk-averse investor expect here? is it going to be different post-coronavirus then it was the last three or four year

that was the point of what richard nixon was trying to show. they were sovereign, they were nations, and they deserved the same respect, therefore the access to the cabinet room -- everybody sitting around in the cabinet room. here was christmas time in the white house and the signing of the message. the president talked about the full indian message and the place was packed. two other things that come to mind, i think i was incorrect in that, in addition to the $1 billion, there is also 2% of royalties. hey that's how you got to the one billion. ok. the other thing, just since i have the microphone and there are cameras appear, i want to say something about you talked about how progressive this policy was at the time. i watch all the focus on richard nixon as a republican president across the board. everybody knows about china and foreign policy. that's the reason president nixon was in china. ron walker advanced that first trip. take a look at the domestic arena. richard nixon, and again, 1969 to 1974, establish the environmental protection a

richard: that is a great question.ed supports the noninvestment grade market is focused on companies that were .nvestment grade prior to covid 22 where ifd march you were investment grade prior to that and you were downgraded because of the pandemic, than the fed will be there to support you. willcquisitions financing not be supported by the fed. there is an implied level of support because the fed is taking care a lot of these fallen angels. that allows the leverage investors to focus on people with deleverage names and they do not have to worry about the overhangs of the fallen angels. that implied support has caused the rally, first in the high-yield market. we have seen a rally in the leveraged loan market. the last time we spoke a few weeks ago i told you i felt the leveraged loan was going to be elaborate, and it has been, but it has recovered much more quickly than i expected. while it is below par, it is coming back to more reasonable levels and we are seeing the forest announcements of new lb o's towards a tra

richard: no. one of my previous books was "alled "the reluctant sheriff, and i use that to apply to a previous president, but it applies much more to this one. it voluntarily stepped down not because of circumstances, but because of choice. britain was forced to back office leadership role, it essentially was forced. it didn't have the resources anymore. it was too small of a country to sustain that role. this is voluntary. what is so worrisome to me, it is not as though we are stepping back, having put something better in place. lead to mystic situation, it were mines me of the health care situation -- the two parallel the domestic me of the it reminds health care situation. we repealed but did not replace. jonathan: a lot of people like yourself -- and i am not saying these are your thoughts -- feel that maybe the world pulls back into two spheres of influence, with china at the center of one and the united states at the center of the other. is that something you can see happening? what do we ne

coronavirus fund raiser richard before we get to the money what's the political significance of this event. you know well of course i mean the money in itself does have significance in fact the total just over 6000000000 euros has been raised with 5000000000 coming from the european commission and sums of money coming from other donors to germany pledging just under 400000000 or so and you know going to a variety of different aspects of this attempt to coordinate internationally in the fight against the pandemic but if you do step back and look at this from a political point of view i think it's really another instance essentially of the europeans trying to step in and fill what emerges is this void that the united states might have filled in other times i mean looking back at previous health emergencies for instance you know the last really large bowl of pandemic a few years ago the united states really a leading role in leading the international coordination there together with institutions like the world health organization well this year the united states has pulled out of the wo

nixon. >> when 1968 begins, it's an open question whether richard nixon can win anything. >> you havests. how do you plan to combat that? >> the way you combat it is to win something. >> nixon lost two big elections, to jack kennedy, and he lost to pat brown in california. and people would say the guy's a political loser. talented, yes, but a loser. >> america will be watching on march 12th. let the people go out in new hampshire, the people of new hampshire want a change and america will have a change in november. thank you. [ applause ] >> television is a vital, political meeting place. to be successful, a candidate must use the medium and use it well. richard nixon prefers informal, no-holds-barred discussions. >> new hampshire was the first time we saw a new innovation in televised campaigning. richard nixon's aides would gather a group of ordinary citizens and have them, instead of the media, asking questions. >> any further questions that you have? >> and they made it look like richard nixon was this brave truth-teller, who was willing to face down any critic, when in fact, it w
