richard: oh my goodness.it was published by a publisher with a very similar last name to mind, robert bell, no relation. unlike robert i am a u.s. citizen. robert bell was a philadelphia publisher with a reputation for publishing things which might make some of his competitors are customers angry. a sort of broad agenda politically speaking. thomas payne it had been scribbling the document we now know to be common sense in the fall of 1775, and shopped it around. robert bell was happy to publish it in part because thomas payne had developed a reputation very rapidly in recent months. as an anti-british flamethrower. agitator. so robert thought he probably might cause a little stir with a pamphlet with such a prominent thesis. he certainly did not know a war for independence would be carried on the back of this pro independent pamphlet but he certainly hoped to make a buck or two. peter: let's read from common sense, in short monarchy and succession have laid not this or that kingdom only but the world in bloo

richard: great question. we should be clear here that pain here is advocating that the purpose of continuing military conflict should be the singular goal of political separation. he is not advocating starting a war because awards already started. lexington and concorde is widely considered to be the outbreak of the american revolutionary war and that was nine months old by the time this pamphlet dropped in january. i am not going to put causing a war on thomas payne's shoulders but he wants that war to mean something. he wanted to have a purpose. he wanted to achieve something tangible and meaningful that he hopes will last forever. peter: what was his relationship with the elite of the american colonies? the other founding fathers, we have one quote we would like to share which is john adams called common sense a poor, ignorant, malicious, short sighted crop he was mass. thomas payne is said about john adams it has been the political career of this man to begin -- proceed with arrogance and finish with cont

>> richard: thanks for having me back.hought it was a good look for him to go to mcdonald's i think there's a juxtaposition between going with mcdonald's and actually connecting with the folks who worked at mcdonald's, there was a time when kamala harris worked at mcdonald's, she did it at the semester when she was at harvard university where it -- that's what folks did, they went home from college and made some extra money to pay for books. in today's day and age there's a lot of working families who depend on mcdonald's salary to make ends meet, to pay the rent. in 2019, kamala harris was on the strike lines at -- with mcdonald's workers demanding higher wages. also in 2016, donald trump said he was good to raise the minimum wage when he was president and in the four years he didn't do that. i think there's a juxtaposition of him doing this a photo op versus him standing with workers at mcdonald's and i think this comes at a unique time in the country when we see both red states and blue states alike, boaters in these st

it was a surprise, actually, that richard. richard nixon pursued a 50 state strategy.this was 50 states for the first time. i'm going to go to all 50 states. and everyone said, well, that's go the states where you're going to get clobbered, georgia, or where you're going to win handily in vermont. and so he does that. and towards the end of the day, he goes or he goes to alaska for three electoral votes and which at a massive democratic enrollment age at that point. but he does carry that state remarkably. and when he does. if he had if he had won in the contested states, contested by historians, texas and illinois, if he didn't win alaska, he would have won the. he would have lost that election anyway. so it's a winner of the election. is that close? anything, whether it's nixon sweati ding the debate or him going to alaska or jack kennedy not going to california at the end or any number of things, or who picks who is the pick for lieutenant or lieutenant governor, vice president in either party? all of those factors, each one of them is deciding. and i want to ask yo

it was a surprise, actually, that richard. richard nixon pursued a 50 state strategy. this was 50 states for the first time. i'm going to go to all 50 states. and everyone said, well, that's just -- stupid because you don't go the states where you're going to get clobbered, georgia, or where you're going to win handily in vermont. and so he does that. and towards the end of the day, he goes or he goes to alaska for three electoral votes and which at a massive democratic enrollment age at that point. but he does carry that state remarkably. and when he does. if he had if he had won in the contested states, contested by historians, texas and illinois, if he didn't win alaska, he would have won the. he would have lost that election anyway. so it's a winner of the election. is that close? anything, whether it's nixon sweating during the debate or him going to alaska or jack kennedy not going to california at the end or any number of things, or who picks who is the pick for lieutenant or lieutenant governor, vice president in either party? all of those factors, each one of

where did richard nixon's support come from?when we got into the general election, well, it was a pretty much traditional republican democratic split, traditional by today's standards or the standards of mid 20th century anyway, where kennedy holds the solid south, where except for a couple of on the fringe fringes, he takes the northeast. he runs wild in southern new england and in the midwest. he does well. but in the west, that's where nixon shines in terms of demographics. kennedy adds to the black vote of the democratic black vote. he certainly adds the democratic cast like vote. there's one statistic which i've said that seen that says that in 1950, adlai stevenson only got half, 50% of the catholic vote and jfk 80%. frankly, as a catholic who was alive in 1960, i think 80% maybe understate that. and he holds the union vote. so he gets holds out to all of those things. and i think probably even the youth vote i don't think that was ever mentioned or measured in the poll. but certainly the enthusiasm of younger people and y

richard nixon never used teleprompters when he campaigned. you see the candidates say they all rely on teleprompters. it's really stupid. it really richard nixon, when he campaign and rallies, he never used teleprompters. he he addressed informal assemblies or, campaign rallies without teleprompter at all. he prepared studying. we gave him fact sheets and suggested remarks. he'd study them and then prepare his own nose. then he put everything aside and he spoke. he only teleprompters for formal or state of the union or. something like that, but not for campaign rallies. now, reagan didn't use teleprompters either for rallies he used spoke from the house sheets like this like i'm using only he did a better job. but he he he and by the way, if he ever look at reagan's inaugural address, he didn't use a teleprompter he used he used these have sheets like this. so he never used a teleprompter. but he used to love to tell stories and his loves tell stories and illustrating to make his point and one of my favorite was when was trying to sell his ec

but then who does richard nixon choose for the vice presidency?and then he he is trying to ameliorate and please the liberal wing of the party now. now, with, as we say, what liberal wing of the republican party. but back then it was quite substantial. and he ends up offering the vice presidency to rockefeller. he turns it down because, hey, he's nelson rockefeller. and rockefeller is or nixon is even nominated, aided and seconded by really clear cut liberals in the republican party. like senator mccarthy, jacob javits of new york, tom kiko of carl for india, and then eventually picks henry cabot lodge, former senator from new massachusetts, under ambassador who turns out to be a horrible choice was henry cabot lodge part of the liberal wing absolute. and he had been in dwight eisenhower's campaign manager at the 1952 convention, which meant he was going up against the robert taft conservative forces. and they kind of still held it against him because that was a very and tested and nasty nomination battle. david pietrusza you had mentioned earlier

a very disturbing case, this, richard. , . ,., richard. very much so. persecutors _ richard.y much so. persecutors and - richard. very much so. persecutors and police | richard. very much so. - persecutors and police saying it is one of the worst cases of online child abuse that have ever come across. mccartney, a paedophile whose crimes have caused on harm around the world come many victims still living with the impact of his crimes. the court heard throughout sentencing today and previous hearings that mccartney has been utterly remorseless. the judge today saying the 26—year—old is devoid completely of any human empathy. while online with his thousands of victims day and night, as you say, offending on an industrial scale, he would encourage, coerce, convince young girls to send photos, caramelising photos of them in various states of dress and undress. he would then turn on them and blackmail them and convince them to perform emily getting acts, acts which in some instances involve the abuse of younger children, all of this for his own sexual gratification. some of their

how did john conley enter into richard nixon's orbit? if nixon would've survived a second term who you think he would've supported in 76? >> john connolly entered into the orbit when he appointed him to the secretary of treasury, and he was, you know, very high on connolly. i don't know how he entered into the orbit. perhaps to the acquaintance of linda johnson, i don't know. nixon had a good relationship with president johnson in the post-presidency, but you like connolly just because he was a very strong individual. i think connolly endorsed himimn the 72 campaign as well. maybe that was the acquaintanceship. i can't recall the particulars now. but anyway, connolly was a very strong individual, so i, that's the main relationship he would've had. what was the second part of your question? [inaudible]n >> he would've supported -- the political part of him would've stayed neutral, but i think he would have come he like john connollyhe so much he would hav, he was, he had sort of a bromance with john connolly.

they will help richard t nixon in those days. it's a chance to be that and i wrote him a letter while at columbia high school. i my second year thisad was on broad street. id never haired back. i made a carbon copy. ice called his office and said i wrote a letter to mr. nixon volunteering mye. services. once they gotai in the mail. good thing i made a carbony, copy. young folks don't know what a carbon copy is. i made one and retyped it all over again trying not to makeke mistakes. put it in an envelope.tt we had a courier. she was working at an investment management fame. i'm not sure if you recognize the name. slammed by buchanan. pat was an aid to mr.. nixon. he said, i'm sorry to delay the w interview. it wasn't the greatest in the world. pat thought i was a spy from the rockefeller camp. at least that's what he teased me today. they gave me a job andnc started answering correspondents at the office i tried to do research. marty saw the value in what i was doing. as wein approached the nomination more than nixon. would win. a

richard allen admitted in 2017, he was questioned. he said i was there. i was there. he was the local cvs pharmacy technician that everybody loved in town. everybody knew him we printed all the flyers for the funerals free of charge for the girls now, really big issue is there his dna on those bodies anywhere on their clothes, anything and there was a potential bombshell in jury selection because the defense said there was hair found in the hand of one of the two victims, and it's not richard allen's so it leads us to a lot of questions, but there are composite sketches. big issue today prosecution says these two composite sketches that we came out with trying to find who did this. they should not come in the trial. their investigative tools defense saying no because they don't look anything like richard allen and they need to come in this trial because it's reasonable doubt so the trial is supposed to be four to six weeks long. >> he's very quickly. jean, tell us about the jury jury is from fort bend, indiana. >> they went outside and delphi is too small, too many pe

and nixon richard nixon had had worked hard. but i think in history we would see had really one of the easier paths to the nomination if for no other, because he had no major challengers. well, here are richard nixon and hubert humphrey at their respective conventions. now, there is no quarrel between progress and order, because neither can exist without the other. so let us have order in america, not the order suppresses dissent and discourages change, but the order which guarantees the right to dissent and provides the basis for peaceful change. and tonight, it's time for some honest talk about the problem of order of the united states. let us always respect, as i do, our courts and those who serve on them. but let us also recognize that some of our courts and their decisions have gone too far in weakening the peace process as against the criminal charges in this country. let those who have the responsibility to enforce our laws and our judges, whoever responsibility to interpret them, be dedicated to the great principles of c

smashed to smithereens. >> richard, take it away. >> the idea that zelenskyy quote, unquote, let that war begin, i've heard of rewritings of history. >> wow. >> this was a war, shall we say, that was made in moscow. ukraine has fought bravely now for 2 1/2 years. close to fighting russia to a standstill, despite the disparity between the two societies and military. if donald trump were to be elected, if he really wants the war to end, the only way he can make it end would be by supporting zelenskyy against putin, to essentially persuade putin that time is not on his side. if vladimir putin concludes the west won't support ukraine, then putin has no incentive to compromise. if, however, it is clear the united states will support ukraine militarily, and will allow ukraine to attack certain targets within russia that have been off limits, essentially the cost of the war comes to russia, the future doesn't promise what mr. putin wanted, and that sets the stage for negotiation. donald trump says he wants to be a deal maker. if elected, the only way he can be a deal maker on terms that woul

peter: what was her relationship with richard sachsen's mother -- richard nixon's mother, hannah?ah interesting and also his quaker grandmother palmyra milk house -- morehouse. in the quaker faith, women are equal to men. they teach a lot of the sunday school classes, they are leaders in the community so he grows up with these role models. i think hannah and pat, i do not think there was ever a clash. pat nixon was never the type to clash with people, she is very conciliatory but as she told her daughter julie later, hannah was not really a modern person. i thought that was an interesting quote. pat is a modern person with a very modern viewpoint, a working woman's viewpoint and hannah is about the home and her children. she does work, two of richard nixon's brothers die, hannah works at the grocery store that the nixon's own so she is working but she is from a different time and i just think pat also i never saw is greatly religious and hannah is very religious so i think they tolerate each other and become fond of each other but i think at first there is a little bit of a cultur

the investigation led to the resignation of president richard nixon. this is about one hour. i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. vice president ford will be sworn in as president at that hour in this office. and that was august 8th, 1974, when president nixon went on national tv to announce his resignation from office. that followed a compelling series of hearings in the u.s. senate the year before and a threat of impeachment by the house of representatives. thanks for joining us. for the american history tv series. congress investigates where we look at significant congressional investing nations over our history. this week, it's a look at the watergate hearings and their aftermath. our guest is kate scott, who is the senate historian and author of the book reining in the state civil society and congress in the vietnam and watergate era era. ms. scott, what was the defining event that led to the senate hearings in 1973? the trigger that set off the hearing, the call for the senate hearings in. 1973 had happened the prior year. in june of 1972, when five

richard, you've flown planes, you've jumped out of them. balloon records, gone up on a virgin galactic flight. what is different about this adventure that has you saying yes? >> oh, i've been very lucky to experience space travel but also to have had some extraordinary balloon trips across the atlantic and the pacific and over mount everest and k2. and so when tabor rang me and said would you hike to copilot -- like to co-pilot the first balloon to 100,000 feet off a ship, obviously, i couldn't resist. i saw it as a wonderful sort of first stage for people who wanted to have the experience of a lifetime. also then i could upsell them to virgin galactic after they'd done the balloon trip or vice versa. so it was just something i couldn't resist. liz: it has been tested, tabor, with no people onboard. that's what we just showed the video of, and it's got a a capsule at the bottom called the neptune, and then you've got the balloon attached. i believe this is hydrogen powered, pressurized? tell me how high it goes and what will people be able

allen's guilt. >> interesting, but when it comes to richard elon's whereabouts on the day that these two teenage girls disappeared. and that wooded area didn't he tell investigators that he was on the same trail as those girls he did. and that's why that cell phone evidence is significant because it's the defense's position that the time that he indicated that he was on the trail and the time that his vehicle was allegedly seen near the trail does not line up with evidence. that's bound in that cell phone the defense presented to the jury yesterday in opening statements that they will see evidenced that fall was potentially moved. well, after richard allen would have left at israel and so i suggest that potentially the bodies were moved at some point and that these murders may have even happened at a different location. >> interesting. so let's talk more about these evidentiary challenges that you think the prosecutors will face because according to allen's arrest affidavit, it all shows that there was an unspent 40 caliber round that was found between the two victims. but the prosec

[applause] but what's so painful is the distortions that the culture has caused, we cause ourselves sometimes for various reasons can lead us to inflict pain on people who are just trying to express how they see us and just trying to express how they feel and often trying to express their love. you cannot read this book without being just drenched in love and the love of your people. you see them in all their foibles, their weird ways and sayings and funny haircuts and baggy pants and, you know, people with weird names and on and on. that's us. it's us. and there's just so much beauty in being authentic, whatever you are. so the beauty of this work was lost on these people bec
