she rocked. >> here a very relaxed richard nixon. he was nowhere near as relaxed and nor was i when i interviewed him after watergate. >> why don't we get serious. >> because i think people are still -- i am serious. people are interested in you. they're trying to understand you and i'm sorry that you find these questions unserious. we have a different idea perhaps of what serious is. >> i saved my hardest question for the very end. >> are you sorry you didn't burn the tapes? >> yes, i think so, because they were private conversations, subject to misinterpretation as we have all seen. >> reporter: the world leaders and the leading men, barbara revealing her crush. >> i had the biggest crush on clint eastwood. he began to flirt, and i fell apart. >> you would drive me nuts and i would drive you crazy because i would be saying, but, you know, didn't you or haven't you? >> we can try and see if it worked out. >> we'll start with this interview. if this is okay, maybe we'll do another interview. i think we'll stop and reload. >> it takes

richard nixon the 70s and jimmy carter that time was at an and. that is when we really begin to get solar energy begins and of course the ethanol subsidies in a big way come and with dwayne andreas becoming one of the biggest recipients of federal subsidies to try to put together the ethanol business. nixon -- carter and nixon in their speeches say the amount of fuel that we have in the amount of potential fuel is deadly dwindling. it's finite whereas these crops are renewable. solar energy, it's all renewable and it's good. in west texas there are areas where experiments can be done where they may be competitive. so this is good but with the decline in the amount of fuel we need to shift. when you have government doing this and it's okay if we have these high prices for oil because it's going to dwindle down to nothing anyway and that will keep the dwindling from being so dramatic. we will shift over into these alternate fuels into green energy and we will be a better country for it. nixon and carter sold a bill of goods and we bought it except f

when richard nixon started speaking, i felt like i was in a class again. rupted and just people were angry. >> when nixon announced the invasion of cambodia, i was in my apartment on west summit street with my roommates and some of our friends. as soon as he made that announcement, we were very upset, very angry. people started cursing. and we started talking seriously. we were very angry because six days earlier we had attended the funeral of the brother of one of our roommates here in kent. he was killed in vietnam. 19 years old. we made a vow at that cemetery, that at our next opportunity we'd take our own powerful anti-war actions in kent to send a message to president nixon to stop the war. dear sun, meet your biggest competitor: philips slimstyle led bulb. beautiful quality light with a slim design, at a slim price. feel like a knot. how can i ease this pain?

only a few journalists had a front row seat to richard nixon's demise.ook "washington journal, reporting watergate and richard nixon's downfall" was an attempt to look at it from 30,000 feet and years away. i'm joined by one the pioneers in journalism, elizabeth drew. >> i'm delighted to be here. >> you said your editor said to you, you were on the front lines covering this story and your editor said to you write this book as if -- so that it olds up in 40 years and now here you are rereleasing it then. so what was the challenge and what was the attempt you made to make your book feel as though it had some distance? >> i didn't have to. i just wrote it. i wrote it, i was there, i was telling the story as it unfolded and it was actually my great mentor, john gardner, who said to me after william sean, the legendary editor, i said we might be changing vice presidents and presidents. this was a way out there thought. i was like that lady from delaware wear, i was a witch. i sensed things. and john gardner said this can't be recaptured. write it 40 years fro

richard nixon's tape recordings. the days of the private cone of silence with your girlfriend are gone. >> no, there ain't no code of silence. >> let's talk about what we're really focusing and not little he said/she said. racially antagonistic, hostile language, is there a new zero tolerance in the way we're going to cover these stories and the way the public's going to react to them? >> you know, way back in the past, there was a whole lot of tolerance, right, stuff was said in the open. for a while now, it has been socially nonacceptable to say, i think black people are inferior. i don't like black people, i think they smell bad, that sort of -- >> when was that okay? >> ugly racism. well, it was never okay with me. >> may have been okay where you grew up in south carolina, it may have been okay in the back room somewhere. >> exactly, exactly. but now there is no back room. and so when society is confronted, when we are all confronted with, you know, irrefutable proof that, here, this is what this person thinks be

dwight eisenhower, richard nixon, gerry ford, jimmy carter, the first president bush. these are all what i would call inarticulate presidents. and that tends to be -- for a reason i don't entirely understand, we can guess at it. they tend to be, retrenchment presidents tend to be in inarticulate. i often get asked, well, which is better; maximallism or retrenchment? and i think it's hard to have a favorite when both so routinely screw up. [laughter] i think it's true that both maximalists and retrenchers have very significant achievements to point to which they routinely undermine. digging into american foreign policy has shown me -- and i hope will show you when you dig into the book yourselves -- how hard it is to draw the line between good policy and policy excess. so i have an even-handed answer to the question, which is better. it's that we want to learn enough from retrenchment to know what not to try to do. we want to learn enough from maximallism to know what we do need to try to do. and perhaps most important but maybe most hopeless, we need to understand when

do this and bring people like that is amazing to me and i know you guys are always waiting for richard nixono be brought back. >> no, reagan. >> i don't know how they do it. it's amazing to me. i think it's a great thing. >> like i said, some people say, the guy is dead, leave him dead. >> i wouldn't mind bringing ronald reagan back as a hologram. >> now she's thinking. >> obama is pretty much a hologram. >> oh! >> i didn't watch the billboard music awards. i fell asleep at 8:30. but i did watch that. i watch the video of this. cool. >> i'm a huge jacko fan. i'm not embarrassed to say it. i had the glove when i was little. i was doing the moon walk. i have the glitter and the zipper jacket. i don't think it was creepy at all. >> can you have -- >>> did you have sleepovers at your house too. >>> godzilla crushed box offices this week bringing in a massive $93 million. the remake of the 1950s classic japanese film, blew away its predictions. godzilla is a god that tapped into people's worries about global warming. are you kidding me? >> take a look at the ticket sales. it will show you how man

when richard nixon and jimmy carter both said the energy crisis is here to stay, the foremost problem on our generation, caused by the declining oil supplies, the experts wind up and said, yes, they can give you often a calculation. what they could not count on was the entrepreneur should of the 1980's by george mitchell and others that developed fracking, and thereby we are able to reach sources of moral that we did not know could be reached in the 1970's. once those sources are reachable, then once we developer ways to remove the environmental problems, then we have the opportunity to increase our energy supply by 100 years. it is no longer an energy crisis . the experts are virtually unanimous. markets and entrepreneurs say, though, it is not. when we realize -- that is why i say "uncle sam can't count". entrepreneurs often can't or if they can't they are not in business law. the good ones can, and when they do, they change the lives of americans for the better. the late 1800's, the absence of a lot of these subsidies in the late 1800's with the get through the transcontinental rai

i'm going through a book, richard nixon talking about strom thurmond in '68 he says, strom is not a racist. living at the age of what is shameful is nothing particularly new when it comes to being white in this country. it wasn't about slavery. racism shameful right now. the shame is, that's where folks want to be on the other side. but that has nothing to do with whether or not practicing or doing it. >> i spent most of my time in press boxes and all that i'm stunned. people say the same thing as sterling said by actions. i go to a lot of press boxes in 2014 where i am the only black guy in the press box. i want through newsrooms, sports departments where there are no black people at all. i tell these guys, the clippers, nba, nfl, look at the front office some day. go up to the executive director's offers, you will be stunned by the lack of black presence. a lot of people say the same thing about you through action, which is definition of racism. where sterling was apologetic. a lot of guys, owners, who are not saying anything but they are doing it. doing it through the absence and cultiv

richard nixon signed all kinds environmental laws that we got through congress because he was afraide rumble of the people. tavis: what does it say about the kinds of people who are in washington versus the kinds of at the localrve level that at the local level they can figure this stuff out? theye national level cannot. we are all human beings. ha is the difference in the beings we send to washington versus the one ones t elect locally? >> two differences. in a bubble a long way from where people live and work. in the local politics you can't escape, that is number one. number tortion the republicans and -- number tortion the democratss and gerrymandered the districts so they pick the voters by computerized design. pick their own voters in this off in theice it other area. gives them a one party state domination in over 90% of the congressional district so they don't have to worry about the party.arge it as total autocracy. localsn't operate at the level but can bubble up from the local level. idea is left right saying we don't like where we can disagree on taxes. trillionsike how o

or richard nixon? we'll have the answer when we get back. >>> welcome back. now the answer to our "crossfire" quiz. hillary clinton was a goldwater girl in is the1964. >> oh, i knew it. that a girl. >> let's fast forward to today. here in washington republicans and the media are obsessed with the clintons. here's the real story i think everybody is missing. the republican party is lurching to the right. don't believe the headlines about the tea party's time being over. consider this. the republican establishment spent millions of dollars to ensure their senate nominee won in north carolina, but their candidate, tom tillis, still believes in abolishing the department of education and outlying contraception. in iowa, the establishment has embraced joni ernst who turned herself into sarah palin in order to win that primary. we all know how mainstream that is. so the tea party is not dead. it renamed itself. it's now called the republican party. the "crossfire" tonight, hilary rosen, and republican strategist kevin madden. kevin? hasn't the -- >> you agree, right

from 1971, richard nixon was president the architects explore use of a barbeked wire fence, a higher rail with rods, and even a laser beam. and yes, they considered two types of safety netting. the solution that is about to be installed. >> this is the worst case of red tape in california history? >> there isjo john moylan, sayi he faced opposition from other member who's lived north. >> they don't understand it. a lot of people because it doesn't affect them. >> the board voted to install suicide prevention nets five and a half years ago. but the cost keeps rising the process drags on. documents from the metropolitan transportation commission put it at $80 million. >> the price did go up the market is heated you can see downtown, 26 up >> the board votes on the final funding package the bill should take three years so the nets should be complete by october, 2017. at least 932 people jumped off the bridge. >> should have been done a long time ago. >> thank you. >> the bridge district moving forward with plans to protect drivers on the bridge. they have picked weekend of january 10th

darrell issa held another round of oversight hearings on this where he compared president obama to richard nixon. here's congressman issa. >> the american people have learned you can not believe what the white house says, what the spokesperson say and what the president says. the facts are coming out that, in fact, this administration has knowingly withheld documents pursuant to congressional subpoenas in violation of any reasonable transparency or historic precedent, at least since richard millhouse nixon. >> the language couldn't be more horrendous, given the fact that there's hardly a nuance of difference between what we learned now and what we learned a long time ago about the tragedy in benghazi. by the way, will we please remember that ambassador chris stevens was a grown-up, a sincere professional of sound mind. he decided to go out to that risky facility that night. he made that decision, which ambassadors have to make. it turned out to be a horrific situation me walked into. but the idea that someone should have been covering for him. but that someone else should have the army there def

take this photo of president richard nixon.ifying him in a photo where his eyes were removed than when they saw him without his brows. >> even famous people. you remove their brows. you photo shop out the brows, and people don't know who someone is who when the brow is there, they know, of course, it's richard nixon. >> reporter: whether thick or thin, arched or full, or even connected, it's clear that eyebrows tell the world who we are. and for some of us, that's worth, well, a lot. >> i never thought about cutting anymore. it's who i am. >> reporter: could someone offer you a million dollars? >> no. reporter: no? no. reporter: $2 million? no. i don't think i'll ever cut it. >> osgood: next -- like father, like son. and later -- a real-life mother and child reunion. i am definitely happy. >> osgood: like father, like son. bill geist and his son willie have a lot in common. they're both on television. they're both accustomed to discussing difficult subjects. but it turns out there's one responsibility of fatherhood bill is only

criminal in violation of any reasonable transparency or historic precedent, at least since richard millhouse nixon. >> criminal? just like nixon? it's a level of the distortion and hysteria that can't survive scrutiny. and the right wing knows it. watch what happened when the ranking democrat started to speak. >> thank you. recognize the ranking member. >> thank you very much. more than three years ago, a wave of political change -- >> all right, we have senator john mccain with us and we only know he's here for a couple more minutes. >> they cut away. they didn't have time for what the democrat was saying. but they did find time to repeat republicans' most extreme charges. >> you know, as you mentioned, the nixon administration and your service in it, it strikes me that there are some parallels here. >> we now know that the white house had a conspiracy. >> that's a felony. >> a felony? all day today, the scandal machine cranked out vile attacks and outlandish accusations. and some of the worst came from elected republicans. >> ben rhodes who we now see is -- used to be the spokesperson for the ns

paralysis and failure to accomplish things by literally expanding the outlook of executive power that richard nixon be green with envy. >> i think he came into office with a historic opportunity to reach out to to is the republicans. admittedly given the goodwill he had in 2018 or 2012 to not practice or preach bipartisanship. with broad bipartisan support is not only bad politically. >>. ashley: we remember his groundswell and this is the man by all accounts who is very aloof, not easy to get to some say they have not met him and is very unapproachable if you think of his persona of a campaign >> some democrats remember the hope and change team but not to the point i can hope and change him. [laughter] ashley: that will happen. talk about the midterms. of lot can happen between now and then. >> to me there is one key statistic. obama is approval of the key swing group is 33 or 35%. you cannot hope to win the of midterm election or hold your own as the incumbent party with one out of three independence because the turnout is low or with your base the opposition will'' in greater numbers. i see a be

even though i worked for richard nixon. i am amazed by the whole thing. >> were you hurt by this? >> i was deeply hurt. she is 40 years old. it is about time to get over it. i thought what she said was sensible. maybe now we are finished. w45* is at issue here is getting this out of the way so hillary can run for president. >> this was a preemptive strike. let's do it two years ahead. >> i heard the debates and the conspiracy theories. there is always a why now, but i don't think it is related to hillary and her run for the president. if lewinski wanted to do hillary a favor wouldn't she have done it in 2008 when she needed an edge and greater sympathy? i just think the girl needs to get a job, right? she is trying to get herself out there. she just made a 6 tape and she and her family could have got a show and married to a rap star. >> that is so true, joanne, true. >> yes, of course. do you think she and bill gets back together. if hillary goes to the white house she needs her retaliation, right? she will find a male intern, but he will not be shamed like lewinski. he will be uh

. >> look at what richard nixon did. both sides do it.t: you know as well as i do the irs turned richard nixon down. he wanted to it investigate those people . >> that was after hundreds and hundreds of politically motivated audits. so, the congress likes the wiggle room in the irs statute. they just like it to be used by their person in the white house. charles: a whole lot of this nonsense goes on and we wonder why isn't congress taking a stand, but maybe it's because they are trying to preserve it so they can have the power one day. >> do you want to know why president obama can transfer funds from one account in the department of health and human services to reduce the cost of premiums for obamacare? because the republican congress gave george w. bush that authority 10 years ago. stuart: the libertarian party would never ever do such a thing . >> i don't know anything about a national libertarian party, but in my world and in the world of most libertarians there would be no obamacare and thanks be to god there would be no irs and that

you have quote a cgap, in this place an airplane gap and after that was with a missile gap and richard nixon had the idea that government needs to step in and private enterprise can't do it. but the inventions are above and beyond what thought. the reason we have i-phones is because steve jobs and others thought if we can produce this the market is there. henry ford in his own way was the same way. horses and buggies were getting the job done but ford had the vision of a car in every garage. he had to cut the cost and deal with road building and that was done by the states for a long time. but the idea is they have the imagination to think about what you want before you know you want it. >> host: and alexander graham bell couldn't have imagined what a telephone would look like now but we think jackson would. what is interesting about the wright brothers is langley was working on a political problem and the wright brothers were working on an engineering problem. and engineering has a question of it stays up or not. and there is talk about politics and policy problem and what is an engineering

. >> you know i just have -- to compare richard nixon saying i'm not a crook to barack obama today talking about the va, i can't sit here about commenting how absurd that is. the truth is the president has a management style that rankles, republicans, independents and democrats. sebelius was kept on and americans look back and say maybe that was the right move. it was a botched effort to roll that health care plan out and the website but because the president stuck with her probably expedited the curative effect there. we don't know about shinseki. this is a problem that goes back decades and decades. not a problem of the obama administration. >> very harsh about the bush administration and its actions with the veterans administration. it's surprising so little has been done in so long. want to get to one ore topic. leslie you wrote in forbes that while hispanics have favored democrats, republican senator marco rubio and ted cruz, hispanic officials to office how important do you see closing future? >> it is absolutely critical antonio. looking and identifying strong candidates, they are f

and strom thurmond was the leader to turn the debate and richard nixon as well to turn the issue to saywe have done that. i think we're still very much in the throes of that to say by early 2010 you can have a debate where we are now but the last 50 years the unintended and unfortunate consequences of the landmark legislation. >>. >> very early in the book something that is subtle is he expanded the committee'smkkÑ of mere mortals and what is your perception how much of this actually goes on in washington or how people try to get things done? i cannot over legal after them. >> there is a lot of that as a political guy i found fun but the subtle background stuff certainly the negotiations of the trade off but even the things you have to filibuster that some of them were personal friends with johnson or they saw in a vintage not by filibuster but to say today we will not force the quorum call very demand everyone has to be in the senate right now so you could say i want to do that nobody will notice that i didn't do but i will tell you or i would propose this amendment you know, that i b

>> a long time, my experience in washington was part of the nixon administration, richard nixon didn'tuct the burglary, but he certainly was involved and created a tone and was involved in a cover up. my sense is i'm not blaming the president. but political people in this white house and there's way too many of them basically are always thinking about campaigns and that clear is what they were doing here. >> and this was in the middle of a campaign after all. this was a month, month a half before the election and i think pat is right, the national security advisers, certainly his deputy twoontd insulate the president from blame. they chose that approach rather than being more candid. >> i know it's interesting and i know our viewers know this. when they hear you, doug, say that, does this make you pessimistic where we are with our washington leaders in general and you sound like you are not too happy with your own party? >> well, i'm not. i speak more and foremost as an american rather than as a partisan. i think that's very important. when you look at the tragedy unfolding slowly but

he once had a white house fellowship during the presidency of richard nixon. in response to the news today, clay aiken has shut down his campaign website. he posted this message in its place. it says, i'm stunned and deeply saddened by keith crisco's death. keith came from humble beginnings. no how high he rose, he never forgot where he came from. he was a gentleman, a good and honorable man and extraordinary public servant. i was honored to know him. clay aiken says, i am suspending all campaign activities as we pray for his family and friends. again, sad and unexpected news out of north carolina today. one of the two democrats who was still vying for a chance to run in november died unexpectedly after a fall at home today. keith crisco was 71 years old. clay aiken will be the democratic nominee for that seat. if we learn more we'll let you know. >>> earlier this week, new jersey's credit rating was downgraded for the fifth time since chris christie became governor. five downgrades. chris christie is just one downgrade shy of the record for credit downgrades

then the next person they put in at the white house was a guy named richard nixon who created the epae not there yet. the republican party is not at that point, but they're going to get there. >> jonathan, the race is really exposing a big rift, though, in the party because mcdaniels has scored some big endorsements from those on the right, including club for growth, freedom works, senate conservatives fund. >> yeah. and that goes to the fight that i was talking about before within the republican party where you've got those groups that are heeshoeing the tea par candidates. in the last five year, certainly the last ten years, those republicans who were certified conservative republicans by any definition, as a result of the tea party movement, those conservative republicans are now not conservative enough. and that is the big battle within the republican party. and that's what i meant when i said that the tea party won. the tea party moved the republican party so far to the right because that's where the energy is, that's where the republican party base is to the point now where you'

a lot of people who look at this case and ask themselves the question they might have asked of richard nixonroy the tapes? >> well, maybe the answer is that if you haven't done anything wrong you don't have any concern or fear about what's going to be on the tapes. >> and, by the way, wouldn't you think that lisa, fighting for her life, would have been able to put some scratches or marks on scott? and there were none. add it all up, the defense concluded, and you've got reasonable doubt. the prosecution's case, little more than theory and speculation. so the case went to the jurors. they took a straw poll and were surprised to find themselves split 7-5. >> that's a big gap. >> it's huge. >> the jury conducts its own experiment with the weight bench. could that help them reach >>> after three weeks and nearly 30 witnesses, the case against scott pattinson was finally in the hands of the jury. either they believed the defense's version that lisa's pattinson's death on a weight bench was a horrible accident, or they were convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant killed his wife by

former presidents jimmy carter, richard nixon and ronald reagan are all rumored to have seen alien spacecraft. could all of them really be wrong? i had to leave kim in a hurry because i finally got a call from the mufon investigators. they're hot on the trail of three new cases in georgia, so i've come to atlanta to help out. i'm ready to get to work, but i want to be prepared so i'm taking a closer look at my mufon field manual before i go. now we're get into the good stuff. these are what people have reported. this guy with the thorn face. and this guy who's straight out of close encounters. this person, who looks like me in a tiebeck suit. look how handsome this dude is. this is some guy you would see on the cover of some romance novel as he comes back from space to take you on some love adventure. how to identify crop circles, ethical guidelines for investigation and treatment. hypnotic word play. there's a lot of mumbo jumbo. i'll admit it's hard not to feel skeptical, but i'm still going into it with a wide open mind. time to go to work. at's epic, b. whatever happened to good? good is

finally be called and subpoenaed to testify because never in this country's -- could you imagine richard nixon have gotten away with suppressing people from testifying or talking to anyone about watergate? you know, i mean -- >> he sort of tried, pat. >> we mentioned watergate a couple of times. i want to echo pat. i watched congressman trey gowdy this morning with chris wallace. i was very concerned. i don't as a republican want this investigation to be seen as a political witch-hunt. what they did in watergate, the democrats were smart, and they picked two elderly senior congress people, sam irvine, peter rodino who were very partisan but they didn't act partisan. they were jeanal elderly guys who seemed fair and darrell issa has screwed benghazi up terribly. it's one of reasons that boehner did this is to get this thing away from issa and he gave it tie young second term congressman who out of the blocks on today's show did a good job. >> you are talking about trey gowdy. he's also a veteran prosecutor. roger barnhart says on twitter if democrats fail to participate, to us americans it show

richard nixon tried that. he used executive privilege. i don't think it will have a cliling effect. i think it will turn up the heat to spin the story away from a terrorist attack six weeks into an election by protests by video they had nothing to do with. this is what i would like to see. i would like leon and hillary clinton to testify at the same time and know why the secretary of defense knew about security requests being made to add security to benghazi and the secretary of state not. this facility had been attacked twice in april and june. we were the last western symbol in benghazi. people, it was a death trap. so there is so much yet to be learned and in terms of secretary clinton's role in this, why was susan rice chosen to talk about benghazi when she had absolutely no responsibility -- >> hillary clinton said before i don't like to do the sunday shows. she wanted susan rice -- >> well, then don't become president of the united states. don't ask to be president of the united states if you don't like going on national television to talk about four dead americans killed by t

a conservative republican appointed to the court by none other than richard nixon.ell, justice berger was venting his frustration about the widespread view of the public that the second amendment guaranteed an individual's right to bear arms. in fact, many are shocked to learn that the u.s. supreme court didn't rule until 2008, six years ago, that an individual has a right to own a gun. it was the powerful national rifle association whose political organizing changed the way americans think about the issue. but in his new book, "the second amendment: a biography," michael waldman writes, molding public opinion is the most important factor. if you want to win in the court of law, first win in the court of public opinion. inspired by how the nra's mission to affect public opinion achieved favorable outcomes from their point of view in the courts. now it's the progressis who have set their sights on big legal victories through similar methods aimed to shape the public view on issues like gay marriage, campaign finance, voting rights. michael waldman is president of nyu

it did with richard nixon in 1950 when he called his senator opponent pink right down to her underwear took a sure win for re-election and turned it into watergate. the trouble with nasty politics like the kind we're getting from the house leadership is it makes you look nasty. it makes it look like you're moneygrubbing on the debts of those four american diplomats, like you're ready to kill a little more faith in government to get a few more votes. it's a rotten deal, and the people who play it will pay for it. maybe not this year but in the years to come. you can't build a brand by painting a bathtub ring around your rivals. why? people are watching when you do it. so is the media. nobody wants somebody in the white house who got there through scare tactics and keeping people from voting. and that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us. "all in with chris hayes" starts right now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. today was set to be an absolute dogfight on capitol hill. a very highly anticipated, hotly contested, rock them, sock them partisan brawl over obamaca

this was richard nixon.should look to the nation threatened to provide the manpower for its defense. did it strike you as nixonian that which president obama said at west point sf. >> a great piece of history. the nixon doctrine was. yeah, i think there are antecedents. i think the real issue is on specifics. i would say on ukraine, the administration is doing well. also on iran. i would say on syria, they are not doing so well. and the same with libya and egypt. i would see that level. as you say at the broad level of philosophy, mr. obama is not an outliar. >> had the president done that which he set out to do six months ago, it would have been at odds with the nixon doctrine. >> you have to interpret the doctrines. what critics have been saying about syria, we should have been aiding the insurgents from 2012 when virtually all of mr. obama's national security team advised him to do that. he was reluctant. he wanted to keep america out of it. he thought that assad would fall anyway or lead a peace effort w

richard nixon talked about a nlt majority in 1968. there's a loud delusional party. there's no conspiracy here at all. >> this was an intelligence failure but not a conspiracy and there aren't aliens in area 51 and vince foster wasn't murdered and it's time to move on and focus on real problems in libya and other problems. >> i don't think it makes sense for democrats to participate. i think it's just a tremendous red herring and a waste of taxpayer resources so i hope the speaker will reconsider but it looks like he has bowed again to those -- from the farthest right. >> and the idea of democrats boycotting a select committee on benghazi drawing this quick response from g.o.p. congressman peter king. >> if the democrats boycott this committee, refuse to take part, the american people are going to conclude, and i think quite rightly, that they feel they have something to hide, that they cannot defend the administration and for them to refuse to take part in it, to me it would be terribly arrogant, showing that they are not taking this issue seriously and mostly it's

richard nixon taking advantage of as well, turning this issue and saying okay, we've done that. we done that for you guys and now we will do this. i think we are still very much in the throes of that. maybe historians will look back and say, that, by the early 20 tens we're pulling out, i don't know. you can have a debate about where we are now but i think certainly we've seen the last 50 years the unintended, unfortunate consequences of landmark legislation. >> very early in the book you mentioned something kinky does that strike you as incredibly subtle. he said the expanded a committee -- [inaudible] something mere mortals would never notice. and i wonder what you perception of how much of this is what's actually going on in washington, how much is how people are trying to get things done? >> there's a lot of that, kind of a political wonky guy, i found pretty fun hopefully other people will, too, a lot of this subtle backroom stuff. not so much even, certainly negotiations about what goes in ago and what doesn't and the trade-offs and things like that, but even things, you h

they see central casting for a president and, think about richard nixon.l casting all right. but, you know, what do you think? >> so, i think that we have to identify what we're talking about here. is this politics in general? just running for president where the looks are more important? you're pointing out so eloquently about the u.s. senate where you're not going to find all completely gorgeous people. so this very particular to running for the presidency? look at the past presidents in the past 30, 40 years, are tall, handsome, men. and it is interesting to see that people want the same thing out of a female candidate. are they getting that with the next female candidate? >> well, maybe. i mean, you have to, actually the house has pretty good-looking -- >> trying to say it in the most palatable way. >> trying to be, trying to, look if it were up to me, i said this for years, every elected official ought to be a woman we would be a lot better off. >> yeah. >> these guys are full of themselves and getting us into wars and all kind of stuff. but if i had
