our guest today is richard white. professor of history at stanford university and co-director at the bill look lane center. we are here discussing his new book "railroaded" and the myths about the transcontinental railroads and the building of the american west. richard, we have got more than one question here that i suppose you have anticipated about the founder of our university. so, one questioner says, the leon stamford was the founder of the university that presumably plays your salary as well as that of the moderator. that's me. don't you have anything positive to say about the so-called robber barons? in the same vein another questioner asks given your , position with stanford, this may be a difficult question. but how corrupt was leland stanford? richard: ok. first of all, you know, my wife said one of those things sometimes she does things that he will put on my gravestone. she says he bites the hand that fed him. that is fair enough. but leland stanford, let me give you a piece of advice that probably most o

too heavy to carry any longer. >> the effect of this was a huge dip in public support for richard nixon. the whiteve the tape's problem by producing transcripts. the idea that he's going to release these transcripts, richard nixon thinks he is finally going to be able to cauterize the wound. >> from the text, i think there's no doubt about the seriousness of the problem we've got. we have a cancer from within, close to the presidency that's growing. >> the tapes show the president is involved at the times that dean said he was. it shows that dean's memory is predijous. >> i would say these people are going to cost a million dollars over the next two years. >> the president -- >> you could get a million dollars. you could get it in cash. i know where it could be gotten. now when individuals read the entire transcript, they may reach different interpretations, but i know what i meant and i know also what i did. >> richard nixon's problem is they keep subpoenaing more and more tapes. he said he is not going to give them up unless the supreme court demands him to. >> the supreme court today heard argu

officers found two sets of foot prints that could be tied to those escapees david sweat and richard matt. >>> the white house is trying again to get that big international trade deal through congress. under the legislation the white house would have wide authority to work out trade agreements with 11 other pacific rim nations in hopes of competing with china, but today the house rejected a key measure that provides help to americans who lose their jobs to overseas companies. democrats said the financial aid simply was not enough. >>> tourists hoping to see the lincoln memorial, capital building and everything in between have an easier way to get from here to there. this morning the ribbon was cut on the new circulator bus that drives around the national mall. rides cost $1. the rides start sunday and with this heatwave it's just in time. it can take upwards of an hour to walk from one end of the mall to the other. >>> i am music, i write the songs, barry manilow going to entertain the crowds at this year's 4th of july celebration at the national mall. he'll headline the capital 4th show with a mix of p

whites are premised world. amy: we want you to stay with us, richard cohen, co-author of an editorial published in today's "new york times was quote, headlined "white supremacists without borders." when we come back, kevin alexander gray will join richard cohen. stay with us. ♪ [music break] amy: this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we turn to the battle in south carolina over the confederate flag, which still flies on the grounds of the state capital. the issue reignited by last wednesday's massacre of nine african-american churchgoers by white-supremacist suspect dylann roof. in photos posted online, roof can be seen posing with the confederate flag and in front of a car with a front license plate that reads," confederate states of america." on saturday, thousands protested in south carolina's capital, columbia, calling for the removal of the confederate flag . this is demonstrator michaela pilar brown. >> we know what that flag symbolizes. we know they hate. we know the danger. it says, stop, it says you are not welcome here. it says, fear for your life. take d

richard. we have the white house welcoming the freedom act. it looks as though it will pass. will it reinstate what has gone before? guest: by and large, peter, it will. but in a different form. the main change involved in this new usa freedom act centers on the controversial bulk collection of telephone records as first revealed a couple years ago in the leaks by edward snowden. you remember that this is not the content of telephone calls, it is not amounting to a wiretap. it is the so-called metadata. who called who at what time from where. so on. it's not actual conversations but you can glean an actual -- a lot of information by connecting those dots. no wonder the intelligence community has been keen to hold on to those powers. until now, the nsa has been doing all of that, getting that information and holding that under its service. the freedom act would be held by the telephone companies and the nsa and other intelligence agencies would have to go through a court procedure although a very secretive one to get a hold of that information. the question is, how much of a d

richard, to that point you look at the potential aspirations of the suspect and we can put the jacket he was wearing with the whitemacy flag or apartheid south africa, what does that tell you, richard, as someone who studied the motivations of these lone wolf attacks? >> i think it is clearly a hate crime. we have someone that has said incredibly racist things in the past and wears racist insignias and walks in to a black church and says he's there to kill people because black people are taking over the country. it can't get any clearer than that. what we are seeing is a backlash to the changing demographics of our country. president obama, you know, ran on a platform of change, but he represents the kind of change that some people are scared of. throughout the white supremacist world now there's this idea that there is a genocide of the white race under foot. you know, billboards about it in some places. this kid was obviously very, very much caught up with that. >> joy, you think of that and you mention president obama, his election is meaningful to people for so many reasons. it is also sometimes falsely held o

bjarke: each project, rather than being driven by style, like richard meyer likes white tile and certainpes, with him each project was injected into a specific situation in a society or in a country so almost the way a journalist would approach a project by having a certain angle on a story. and rather than having it be independent of society, he was always intricately linked to the forces of the environment. i saw this idea that architecture was not something happening in the studio. it is really has -- how a city comes to life, how a society wants to be shaped. charlie: some have suggested that the u.s. is dead, and you were the first to come here to say, no, it is not. that is not true. bjarke: america had suffered. everyone said you should be going to asia, because this is where the boom is happening, but i really wanted to live in new york, and i really think one of the things that the europeans can learn from america is that with the european union europe has been incredibly good at breaking down trade barriers and opening up the borders and the free movement of workforces, it's co

saw in coolhouse was each project rather than being driven by sort of like a style like richard meyer likes white tiles and certain shapes and then coolhouse, each project was somehow injected into a specific situation in a society or in a country or for a particular type of program so almost the way a journallest would approach a project by having a certain angle on a story i somehow saw that rather than being an autonomous art form independent of society he was always intricately linked to the forces of our surrounding environment. i suddenly saw this idea. the architecture was not just something happening in the studio. it was really how a c comes to life, how a society wants to be shaped. >> rose: some come from europe and some in europe suggest the u.s. is dead and you were e first to come here and say no, it's not that's a fiction. >> when i moved here five years ago, i think the sort of european arrogance was somehow that america had also suffered like europe in the financial collapse. everybody said you should be going to asia because this is where the boom is happening, but i really want

told in "the last find time," but for me, he represents the kind of voter richard nixon was trying to attract. along with white southerners disgruntled with the democratic party nixon sought to appeal to white, mostly catholic, blue-collar workers in the northern states. while these voters had overwhelmingly voted for kennedy, eight years later nixon sought opportunity. while traditionally they were culturally conservative and by 1968, they were uncertain -- about the liberalism of the democratic party. now to moment one. it is the final night of the republican convention in miami. in richard nixon's mind in the summer of 1968, america was no longer the place it used to be and in an effort to make it to the white house on his second try, he vowed to speak for the forgotten americans, those he referred to later as the members of the great silent majority. as nixon put it that night these delegates were the non-shouters, the non-demonstrators. they were good and decent people who work, safe, and paid their taxes. but in recent years they had been left out of the national discussion as the nation had been burned,

for me, he represents the type of voter that richard nixon was trying to attract in 1968. along with white southerners disgruntled with the party nixon saw two appeal to mostly catholic voters living in the electoral, rich, northern states. while they overwhelmingly supported kennedy in 1960, eight years later, nixon saw an opportunity. many of the ethnic catholics living in the urban north were culturally conservative. in 1968, a were uncertain of the liberalism of the democratic party. now to moment one. august 8 1968 which was the final night of the republican convention in miami. in richard nixon's mind, in the summer of 1968 america was no longer the place it used to be. in an effort to make it to the white house on his second try he thought he would speak to the forgotten americans. he later refer to them as the members of the great silent majority. these americans were the non-shouters. the non-demonstrators. they were good and decent people who work, saved, and pay their taxes. in recent years, they had been ignored, left out of the national discussion and left to watch as crime so

about the white house, here is our chapter here. richard smith, a great historian. he said, mrs. lincoln "mrs. lincoln looked upon the white house very much as a symbol of this nation and took seriously her responsibilities not only as a hostess but as a woman responsible for the appearance of the house. this is a time when the country is coming apart at the seams so the symbolic value of america's house perhaps is even greater just like the president's order of the half finished house in the capital has to be completed. she took the same view of the white house. she got a lot of criticism for what she was doing. mr. seale: it was the first time a first lady since dolly madison had been repeatedly criticized in the press. they were ugly remarks about her close. she was a middle-aged woman who had lost one child and she was going to lose another one in the white house stuck she also had a hard act to follow. she followed james buchanan's niece, beautiful and personable. she was a personal friend of queen victoria. harriet lane was just the bees knees and the end of everything in th

richard nix on's southern strategy. appealing to whitesal issues. >> i think that has certainly changed among my constituency of conservative evangelicals in the south. sometimes presidential candidates and others when they think of evangelicals they think of tv evangelists from the 1970s and don't recognize that conservative evangelicals are committed to racial segregation and racial justice and committed to the fact that these are our brothers and sisters in christ. this is my family over here across the street. so any using of race as a way to divide us as a wedge issue is not going to work with people who believe the bible and who believe in christ. >> dr. moore, professor brinkley van jones, thank you so much for being with us this morning. great honor to have all three of you here. we'll have more on the debate over the confederate flag in just a minute. stay with us. >>> welcome back to "state of the union." i'm jake tapper live in charleston south carolina. the massacre of nine people inside this church behind me here this week reo

in richard nixon's mind in the summer of 1968 america was no longer the place it used to be and in an effort to make it to the white house on his second try, he vowed to speak for the forgotten americans, those he referred to later as the members of the great silent majority. as nixon put it that night, these delegates were the non-shouters, the non-demonstrators. they were good and decent people who work, safe, and paid their taxes. -- worked, saved, and paid their taxes. but in recent years they had been left out of the national discussion as the nation had been burned it's used announced authority, and the war in vietnam marched into another year without a plan for peace. nixon's nixon's words focused on what would define the campaign. the issue attracted a variety of labels from crime and the streets to law and order but it was best described as a social issue. a phrase that captured the broader amalgamation of anxieties that exploded the 1960's and 1970's. indeed, in the minds of many americans as one commentator has written, ghetto riots, street crime, anti-vietnam marches. welfarism,rising taxes all had a co

joining us now is richard clarke who served the previous three presidents as a senior white house adviseres from cyber security to counterterrorism. he served as counterterrorism adviser from president obama's first campaign. he is the author of the new book "pinnacle event." richard clarke, looking at the security situation in boston, did anything happen in the change in law from the patriotic act to this new version of the law that would affect this kind of investigation that was going on in boston? >> absolutely nothing. there is a case of the system working very well. using the law the way it was before and the way it is now, going to the court, getting a wiretap and a court order putting someone under surveillance and being able to act quickly. the change in the law only restricts programs that, frankly, didn't work. programs like the telephone metadata program. >> and what does it take? when we hear in pete williams' story that they decided to put him under 24-hour surveillance, what do you have to do to earn that surveillance? >> 24-hour surveillance is extremely rare because it ta

john ehrlichman attorney general richard kleindienst chief of staff h.r haldeman and white house counsel john dean on april 30, 1973 all four were out forced to resign except dean who was fired. but dean did not go quietly. he testified before the senate watergate committee about the president's complicity noting that investigators would have to look no further than nixon's tape-recorded conversations from the oval office. "now, i guess you're fully aware, mr. dean of the gravity of the charges you have made, under oath, against the highest official of our land, the president of the united states?" "yes, i am." "the president said last night that his denials of any part in the watergate cover up had been challenged by one man. he didn't name the man, but it is clear from these excerpts of testimony that the man whose word it is against the president's is john dean." "and i state again to everyone of you listening tonight these facts. i had no prior knowledge of the watergate break-in." dean's revelation marked the beginning of the end for nixon. in march, 1974, a grand jury indicted seve

richard fowler the nationally syndicated radio host. the white house comes out today when pressed on these growing crime statistics and they are devastating across the country if you look at the number of cities where the murder rate is skyrocketing. and they go to the president -- the police are feeling low in morale it's not because of anything the president has said or done. >> it's interesting how ernest made it -- i want to generalize. well he should because you gave enough statistics you could have gone city by city it would have been worse. look at the top 10 cities two of them are hotbeds right now. what's interesting is that barack obama keeps using this term communities of color, he acts as if black people got dropped in from outer space and cops don't know what to do with them it's communities, it's human, it's people. cops know how to do with people they know how to deal with people who commit crimes they talk about the communities of color, that are overwhelmingly incarcerated. it's very simple. >> you know richard, you look at the p

white house. susan: was she interested in politics or in policy? richard: she was interested in personalities. refer to seward as "that abolitionist sneak." grant was "that butcher." but the fact is, i think we talked earlier ironically, once they actually had attained their goal, once they moved into the white house, i think her influence certainly, as we would use that term today, over policy diminished. i think their partnership was in some ways broken. i think the war consumed him and i think it was a source of frustration for her. the relationship that they had had before the presidency was in some ways greatly diminished. so i don't think she was significantly influential in terms of shaping public policy or his conduct of the war or even who he put in his cabinet. susan we have just eight minutes : left and still a lot of story to tell. mary lincoln lived for 17 years after abraham lincoln's assassination. what were those years like for her? rosalyn: well, part of the time she was in a mental institution, , because her son, robert, put her there. and i have been debating about him very

white house in 1969. i thought about richard nixon and he carries it further forward. there is a problem with richard nixon. the enticement for the biographer is that nixon has that dark streak in his personality that the biographer is really like. so it is the unhappy individuals the ones that have the dark streak that are appealing to the biographer but they are not necessarily appealing to those publishers because just as there is a rule with broadway musicals, you know that you have a success when the audience comes out whistling the theme song. publishers like it if your readers can be doing the equivalent. anybody that would be whistling i don't know what the watergate theme song would be. if you lead them down then they don't go tell all go to walter for tell all their friends with wonderful book and everybody ought to go read it and be uplifted. it might be instructive that it would be uplifting. because of the period in his life that worked well for him it was still in 2004 but the other reason is i had just written about franklin roosevelt and franklin roosev
