while john kennedy campaigned on a promise to get the country moving again richard nixon was forced tolicly support a policy he privately opposed. the country hit bottom just two weeks before the election. for nixon, the damage had been done. if the present trend continues mr. kennedy, senator kennedy will be the next president of the united states. schoumacher: kennedy won with a margin so narrow that people still argue over what tipped the balance. but nixon had no doubt. he blamed the recession of 1960 for costing him the election. historians still argue over the significance of the recession of 1960 but economists at the time were convinced that the budget surplus cost the economy jobs and growth by keeping dollars in the hands of the government rather than consumers. had eisenhower been willing to end his presidency with a deficit he might have presented his successor with more growth and the prospect of even larger surpluses in the future. we asked economic analyst richard gill to explain why economists might be opposed to budget surpluses. i've already pointed out that the feder

>> the fact was it was an enormous political risk for both mao and for richard nixon. one could say that rick -- that nixon managed his internal politics more successfully. there was a coed tent by the man we thought had been designated as mao's successor. we now know that -- we forget the exact day -- but after this coup attempt, he got on a plane fearing arrest and the plane crashed in mongolia. >> it was october 1971. there was a very heavy police presence and we did not know why. >> we later got the intelligence reporting there were people in the chinese leadership who were strongly opposed to this and it -- to this initiative. the cap referring to -- they kept referring to mao as the b-52, the heavy bomber of their politics. mao's wife and others were opposed to some of the developments that had brought influence to chou en lai. this gets beyond the immediate story, but beginning around 1974, particularly after john lie was ill and was replaced by deng xiaoping, the so-called gang of four had some real influence in the dialogue with the u.s.. the mood turned a bit

richard nixon didn't come every year but at the end, jimmy carter, ronald reagan was here every year, loved it. his wife performed famously, singing. she turned her image around. people had an image of her being stuffy and standoffish. everyone agrees that america appreciated her more afterwords. that was one case where photos did leak out somehow. that was delighted to have that image of nancy reagan put out. >> the present of the gridiron club this year, thank you for your time. >> thank you for visiting.

worked for richard nixon. >> during the last years of his life yes. >> okay. this was the same deal okay, that nixon did not want what he said in the oval office in his private conversations which were all taped, okay, out to the public. and he lost. and that was the end of his presidency. do you see a similarity here not in the conduct but in the i don't want my stuff out? >> in the desire for secrecy and control of access over his papers and his tapes, absolutely. but if you look at this in probably a little more closely bill, i find that the comparisons to nixon are actually insulting to nixon. because what we're talking about here is an 18 minute gap. when you consider what hillary clinton is accused of doing here, it's so much bigger. >> wait, i don't understand. let me say the 18 and a half -- for those of you who weren't around, there was supposedly an eraser on the tape that wasn't there. what exactly though in your mind. >> uh-huh. >> an anti-hillary clinton person, is she being accused of? other than using an e-mail system that was not secure and that

we had elvis's sky and the guy who supervised richard nixon.harlie: let's assume the answer that you continue to learn as an actor is yes. how is it you continue to learn as an actor? kevin: because storytelling allows us to learn things about ourselves, examine things about other human beings that we might not necessarily agree with or understand entirely. there is something very humanizing about the role of being an actor. and the most remarkable thing about it is that we can write our own endings. i just had this extraordinary experience in the middle east with my foundation. we wanted to do a project called homegrown, to try to encourage the leaders there that while building national theaters with all the facilities that you could want, is a wonderful thing. performing in cirque du soleil is not necessarily the way to form your own cultural identity and have worked at his writ of your country. we did a program called homegrown where we auditioned 300 young emerging actors from 17 different nations. we put together a group of 30 four them re

but we have noticed writings comparing hilary clinton to richard nixon and not in a good way.olitico says her of e-mails shows a wearyness and she said this as well: scornful of advisaries. is that fair in >> if she is trying to shake that characterization she is not shaking anything by the way she is behaving. any journalist who saw her say she used a private e-mail account because it was a matter of convenience didn't believe it. no journalist alive is dumb enough to believe that is the explanation. it is clear she was trying to get around revealing anything she didn't feel like. this is all what can hilary clinton control about herself and she is trying to control everything. and the comparisons to nixon are only saying this in one way. she deleted the e-mails. nixon didn't erase the tape. >> there was a 17-18 minute gap where his secretary pushed the pedal on accident. yeah right. your colleague at the post pinned a column and draw as comparison of clinton to nixon driven by secrecy and resentiment and surrounded by ruthless guard and convinced rules apply only to others.

there is a famous picture -- i am told it is one of the most sought pictures of any president -- richard nixon with elvis presley. nixon -- elvis presley was a fan of law enforcement. he wanted to get a law enforcement badge so he could help law enforcement track down the bad guys, in his mind. he went to the white house, also showing up in regalia. nixon was a straightlaced guy. he looked at elvis who had a cape should open to his waist chains, and said something like "elvis, that is quite a good up you have on." elvis said "you have your audience and i have mine." there's a picture of them shaking hands awkwardly. nixon was unable to capitalize on the entertainment world. host: i have that picture and my office. let's take some calls. we are talking about the presidency in the 20th century and some history. ohio, independent line. caller: to your guest in past and present presidents, how many past presidents had a military background? we know our last two democrats did not have a military background. do you agree that presidency is in the strength of the cabinets? i am not sure obama has a c

richard nixon in 1972 trip to china, that was quite controversial at the time. it did open up relations with china after 30 years of separation. barack obama made it clear he is open to normalizing relations with cuba. he says change is hard in our own lives and in the lives of nations, but that doesn't mean you don't take the risk. he sent from the beginning he would do the same with iran. one of his early actions in office was writing the letter reaching out to iranian leadership. now with what he sees as a more moderate leadership in iran, he says we cannot squander this chance. this is been his ideology all along. republican saying he is being reckless with national security and the u.s. will pay the consequences of a bad deal. anchor: thanks for that. before switzerland, secretary of state john kerry weighed in on the situation in syria, a country that has now entered its fifth year of war. speaking sunday, the secretary of state said washington would have to negotiate with syrian president bashar al-assad. that seems to be a turnaround after the u.s. insis

by the time richard nixon was in office, though, this classic relationship was showing signs of strain 1972, inflation was at a level of 4% and unemployment was at 5 1/2%. a year later unemployment was holding at 5% but inflation had skyrocketed to 8 1/2%. why weren't the old predictable trade-offs working? what had happened to change the economic rules? nature, suddenly violent rampaged over the entire globe. in 1972, there were crop failures worldwide. what was the result?

richard nixon got about a third of black vote in 1960. barry goldwater got 6%. republicans have never approached that nixon level since. second you've had blacks and non-whites in general, including hispanics and latinos, expand as a proportion of the electorate. and over time, that has worked to the advantage of the democratic party. 1964, when lyndon johnson was re-elected, whites provided about 95% of all the votes cast in the election. in 2012 whites were about 72% and that growth, given the scheft of whites to very dominant support for the republican party non-whites for the democratic party, has produced a racially polarized electorate, but one that, given want growth of non-whites has worked to the democrats afs advantage in presidential elections lately. >> sreenivasan: there are democrats and some republicans that will be there today or through the weekend in selma. but what happens when they go back to washington? >> when they go back to washington, they're going to take the places that they've become accustomed to in this polarized environment that we

for example, when he left office, gerald ford became president and richard nixon had not beenharged with anything. he was pardoned before. i think it is incredibly unlikely that the white house with step in and do anything like that this point. i think they will at the legal process play out. at the end of the day, if the legal process concludes what president obama is still in office and the next president they will get a vote on what to do. they can pardon of community sentence. host: keith madison, arkansas you are next. a democrat. caller: first of all, good morning. i would like to weigh in on the previous comments of dealing with the code of military justice. i'm a u.s. of that -- u.s. veteran, and i went to the process while i was court-martialed. at the time i went through, i went and got a civilian attorney and all that good stuff, but everything was premeditated. i was found guilty, forced out of the military, i lost a whole lot being a sergeant in the military. so, i would like to say to you sir, i strongly disagree with this. i don't believe the sergeant will get a

washington and around the country don't think of scowcroft is a strategist that merely as one of richard nixon and gerald ford's, national security adviser to george h.w. bush and a longtime washington insider. for some the title may ring counterintuitively. if he's not a strategist in the sense of the sun tzu were carl von clausewitz neither is he a strategist in his claims to anti-communist manifesto the world analyst in the matter of henry kissinger sweeping arguments and world order. in fact several of my interviewees including a former secretary of defense national security adviser told me they didn't especially think of brent scowcroft is a strategist. with one former official saying he regarded schoolcraft is operating between the 40-yard lines. those that knew him most closely u.s. and foreign-policy officials alike including helmut kohl has spoken admirably of scowcroft strategic sense. it's just that he has kept his strategists largely out of view with a few exceptions. what has been the op-ed's most noticeably in 2002 in "the wall street journal" and joining the george w. bush admin

i'm told it's one of the most-sought pictures of any president in the white house, and that's of richard nixonh elvis presley. people might be familiar with this picture where nixon had -- elvis presley was a fan of law enforcement, and he wanted to get a law enforcement badge so he could, he could help law enforcement track down the bad guys in his mind. and he went to the white house, and he also showed up in regalia. of course nixon was a very straight-laced guy, and he looked at elvis who had on a cape, shirt open to his waist and chains, and he said something like elvis, that's quite a get-up you have on and elvis said you have your audience, and i have mine. [laughter] and so -- but there's a picture of them shaking hands very awkwardly. nixon was unable to really capitalize on sort of the entertainment world, and that picture showed it very well. >> host: i've got that picture in my office. let's take some calls, we're talking about the presidencies over the last -- for the 20th century and a little bit of history. billy in triwood ohio. independent line. billy, it's going to help if i

hillary clinton is richard nixon without the charm. i will say what i said last week. the house committee should not be asking for her e-mails about benghazi. the house committee should be subpoenaing her entire e-mail server. of course she is not going to give everything. the only way you will get everything from her is to legally demand everything. quite frankly i don't know if they have the power to do. >> benghazi they have been hitting her with this for a longtime. and nothing seems to be sticking as far as rest of the country is concerned. why make this e-mail thing about benghazi? >> it should not be about benghazi. >> how guilty does hillary look to you? >> we haven't seen her in awhile, but the details look to be that she is. it should be interesting to see when she comes forward to talk to reporters and address these questions. the only thing she can say is she has an addiction to candy crush. or angry birds whatever was popular back then. we have pictures of her especially when she was on the trip to libya and she had her phone out, and then there is no info

richard nixon could not find the 18 minutes of tape. he lost his job. will there anything untrendy anything that happens to hillary clinton? >> it's interesting. there is a spokesperson involved, which is the first internet safety program in the country and this is in the mid-90s. i had a meeting with her in the head of state when she was senator clinton and she was very helpful understanding putting education in the schools. and all of the issues that we had on the internet. so she knows the dangers of the internet. she was very supportive of that. now you have a private e-mail account where again the hacking that happens with sony the hacking can happen anywhere but you shouldn't be able to have i dated a lawyer a general counsel and she was so -- she made sure that her business e-mail only had business. but it never crossed over. that is a corporation and we are talking about the the department and the eternal security. >> it is true and most people in washington dc, especially the clintons are shrewd enough to know that you need to keep certain thin

>> without the recordings of richard nixon there were no human beings willing to stand up and say whatwhy would any politician in this day and age allow himself or herself to be recorded, repeatedly and make it available. put it in the clouds and eventually it will rain on you. >> coming out of this now, she is the front runner, for the next year every move she makes it will be front-page news. has any candidate ever done that? >> not to my knowledge. i don't think you can survive 20 months, you said a year you are talking about from now until november of 2016, that is almost 20 months, that is a long time. believe me, as clean and pristine with integrity as you may think you are in that time period even the lord will challenge you. >> i think a lot of us can relate because we had two e-mails. we have the private one and to work one. >> it is interesting in this time period it is so far to be out in front everything is going -- you can reconstruct those e-mails anyway you want. >> it is a trust issue. i saw a poll that said americans up to not trust are already at this point. even if y

caller: he -- well, actually, richard nixon started this whole thing. they don't ever talk about that. richard nixon went over there messing with iran back in the 1970's, and that he tried to take tehe shah and the more radical side of iran, and he tried to make it a democratic state at the time. he should have just left that alone, and then we wouldn't going through this. iran is really our friend. they really want to be our friend. but people want to keep talking about how terrible everybody is. the republican party is not the same republican party of the past, like the gentle just mentioned with johnson -- gentleman just mentioned with johnson. with of this republican party, it is like it is switched around to where the old republicans of the confederates and the confederates are the republicans. host: san antonio texas, this morning. we are asking about our viewers' top issue of the week on capitol hill. our phone lines are open. democrats can call in host: as we said, lots of discussion this week on budget debates over military funding military spe

richard nixon was president, who famous then tried to set the 21-year-old prince up with his 24-year-old, trisha. you know how that worked out. tonight, though, a bit more business on tap. the royals will head off to an eye vent not far from here where he'll be honored with a conservation award before they head off to louisville, kentucky. >> sounds like a great trip. >>> when we come back, the nasty side of social media. >>> we're back. an abundance of twitter users believe they can troll and rant with impunity, no matter how debasing or even threatenings the 140-character posts pose. ashley judd said reaction to her recent tweet about a college basketball game was so bad she's taking legal action. to say to the twitter-sphere, no more. starbucks attempt to get people talking about race relations unleashed tweets so disturbing, a company executive deleted his twitter account, because he felt >>> following my own "the washington post" column on ferguson, my twitter feed was awash. made all the more unsettling by praise from the right for folks who usually accuse me of, quote, playing the

richard nixon initially said he was going to disappear -- disobey the supreme court ordered to release the tapes and he was told by the republican leaders that he should not do that but he should comply with the law. so yes there's a danger of presidents of the finance in the supreme court but that's not a reason for the supreme court not to enforce the constitution. >> you you just touched on this but why are the supreme court justices the only justices and federal, appeals court that do not have to follow the canons of judicial ethics? >> i think it's wrong. that is just the way the law as written written. federal district court, federal court of appeals judges have have to meet ethical rules or they don't just apply to supreme court justices. also when i alluded to this very quickly now there's a motion to a supreme court justice be disqualified is left to that justice to determine it. no one should be a judge for himself or herself really got to come up with a different procedure for it. >> i'm going to stick with this line of readers since all of you have been in line. >> thank yo
