ion >> election needs, roger ailes, 28 years old, put together a telethon. it was a two-hour telethon that began in los angeles. i was in the back room with rose woods. girls would take the messages and bring them back to me. i would put them in nixonian language. questions about social security and stuff. nixon asked me to get social security in twice every hour of the question. so they would take a pack of the questions out, and ask nixon the questions and he would respond. after the two-hour telethon, we took a one-hour break and then said, let's do another two-hour telethon. this was the night before the election. so he went through those, and later on, he said he thinks this was nationwide television that put them back over the top, and he said, we are not going to paris. they had decided long before that they were not going to paris because he wanted nixon elected. >> and then nixon won. if you were say going across the big picture, that there are two major themes of the 1968 campaign. end the war, and restore law and order. what we have asked our pane

people like roger ailes and lee atwater played that role.an: why did you believe george bush when he said he did not know about the ad? >> i have seen no documentation that he did and i have seen documentation from people like atwater is that we made a point of not discussing such things. this is not to alleviate bush of any complicity or guilt. he was in charge. he is responsible for what happens with his campaign. but it does give a sense of the tone he wants to set. he told his people, we're going to go for the win, we're going to do whatever it takes, we're going to play dirty, play the race card and emasculate michael dukakis. he wanted those things done, but he wanted somebody else to do it. brian: many stories have been written over the years that when ronald reagan was president, george bush, his vice president, was not invited to the private quarters. the have no time together except their lunches. is that a true story? did u.s. the president? -- did you ask the president? dr. engel: i did not ask because the more interesting questi

l -- rogerith roger ailes. while joe mcknight is in his book references the fact that nixon in 1960 was somewhat afraid of television, roger ailes looked nixon in the eye and said, sir, you need to make television your friend. , easter nixon said, i want you to arrange for that man to meet with ray rice, the first stop on the line of things. roger came up the next week and met with ray price and then met with shakespeare and the people who were part of the television team. one of the most significant things about 1968 was nixon's use of television. for a person who everyone thought was not good on television, and the myth of that spun out of the jack kennedy masteredixon television. pat talks about the telethon on election night. but we had these television programs called the man in the arena, where nixon would stand in the center and there were either citizens or press people all around and he had a standup mic and they could go at him and he could answer. this was incredibly effective in this campaign. >> ro

brian: what was your reaction when you saw a roger ailes became a close confidant and advisor to george.w. bush? dr. engel: bush had a remarkable ability throughout his career, especially when he got into national level politics, of being able to surround himself with people who would do the dirty work that needs to get done for an election as he saw it. lee atwater, roger ailes, people who would play politics -- dirty may not be the right word, but as tough as possible. ok, i use the word dirty. bush would have a sense of remove it he could say, i did not know about that plan, i did not know about willie horton, despite the fact that his campaign clearly knew the willie horton ad was going to run, a racially charged advertisement the bush campaign ran in 1988. there was always someone around who could be the hitman. ailes and atwater played that role. brian: why did you believe george bush when he said he did not know about the ad? dr. engel: i have seen no documentation that he did and i have seen documentation from people like atwater is that we made a point of not discussing such th

the programs were produced and directed by 28-year-old nixon campaign consultant roger ailes. here is a review. >> mr. nixon, because of the recent widespread demonstrations on american campuses, there seems to be quite a bit of public pressure on campuses and administrators to get tough on american ebels. >> i'm for it. i'm for dissent. as i look back over the 190-year history of this country as i am sure you have as a student at ann arbor, dissent is an instrument of change and progress. that's what we distinguish as free society from the totalitarian societies. we have to recognize it can also be an instrument of destruction if it does not follow a certain rule that we should all understand and look at our american political system. i have talked on a number of university campuses and i heard some students say i think there should be peaceful dissent and not breaking the law, they said well, don't you believe in the american revolution? i certainly do. those who participated in the american revolution had no peaceful way to address their grievances. they had to have revolut

roger ailes did a famous interview with judy woodruff he told her the three things he covered in campaignsre mistakes, attacks and pictures. donald trump fellows that and gives the media mistakes, attacks, he gives them pictures. he gives them theater. it's all about the performance of the presidency and the campaign. the reason he likes to campaign so much because you can't see him when he's governing. you see him on the campaign stage. he's playing into the racial fears that republicans have been tapping into. going back to 1964, after lyndon johnson signed a civil rights act in 1964, no democratic president has won the white vote since that time. what republicans have done typically in state and federal races is tried to exploit that subtly. lee atwater admitted that but not as overtly as donald trump does. he has torn off the mask and says i'm not going to even pretend not to be racist. i'm going to say it out loud. and you don't even have to hear it. >> he's going to say it but then a say i'm not. >> he's going to deny he's racist. he's going to more blatantly racist than the previous

roy moore, roger ailes, bill o'reilly, and of course himself. you might argue that the president is just making a measured argument for due process, an argument against a rush to judgment for anyone accused, and that's certainly a fair argument to make, an important one. but remember, this is the same person who bought full-page ads calling for the death penalty for five juveniles accused of attacking and raping a jogger in central park. they were exonerated years later after spending time in prison, most of their lives in prison. someone else confessed. mr. trump still hasn't apologized for that or admitted he was wrong. when it's him or his political allies being accused, the president's playbook is to deny, to deny, and then deny. but even knowing that, what the president is saying, it's pretty remarkable. according to the president, men, particularly young men, are actually the real victims, with fall accusations made by women lurking in every dark alley and around every corner. now, keeping them honest, the facts say otherwise. according to

billow rye riley, roger ailes, rob porter and brett kavanaugh.s what he said last night. >> what neighborhood was it in in i don't know. where's the house? i don't know. upstairs, downstairs, where was it? i don't know. but i had one beer. that's the only thing i remember. and a man's life is in tatters, a man's life is shattered. >> by the way, if you don't think that's mockery, that's fine. facts like mike wallace used to say when being lied to in interviews in 6 "60 minutes," come on. the white house claimed he was just stating facts. what he was stating are not actually facts. upstairs, downstairs, where was it, i don't know. dr. ford actually was very clear that she did remember where this happened. >> i went up a very narrow set of stairs leading from the living room to the second floor to use the rest room. when i got to the top of the stairs i was pushed from behind into a bedroom across from the bathroom. >> dr. ford admitted what she didn't know and did say what she says she did know and did remember. what's clear from last night is the

you have bill shine, who is formerly an evp, executive vice president, at fox news, number two to roger ailesbecome communications director at the white house. you have hope hicks, formerly communications director at the white house, now serving as top e veshgs evp at new fox. it feels like "freaky friday." from a business perspective, this is a pretty logical move. if there was anyone in the trump administration who sort of kept their head down and just did the work and up at least until the last 24 hours avoided controversy during their tenure in the white house it was hope hic hicks. she's not even 30 yet and demonstrated herself to be incredibly capable in chaotic situations. so if you are rupert murdoch, lachlan murdoch, you're coming into basally owning what is effectively a new company and you have a network like fox news that is as evecontroversial as is, she is a key person. this was a logical move. >> what does this job -- i mean the title we're reading here, executive vice president and chief communications officer. do we know what that entails? is this a public facing role? is thi

he denies them always, whether it is roger ailes or bill o'reilly or roy moore.mply thinks women lie about this all the time, and that's the basis of his position with brett kavanaugh and all of the rest of them. >> you know, it is interesting because once again "saturday night live" gave its version of the treatment on saturday night. let's watch a little clip. >> mitch, how are you feeling? >> well, that was awesome! whew! >> do you feel like this is a win you can be proud of? >> oh, yeah, dana. republicans threatened to move the country and we can tell the people really wanted kavanaugh. everyone thought from white men over 60 to white men over 70. >> the last thing i wanted was to make this about me. that's why i told everyone to tune in at 3:00 p.m. so i could tell all of my female supporters, fight. >> and you don't think that brett kavanaugh did anything wrong? >> listen, i think it is important to believe women until it is time to stop. >> david. >> yeah, the last couple of "saturday night live"s have been spot-on and they highlight that the polls show wh

in june, trump hired roger ailes, and bill shine as his new chief. is this all shine's idea?k at the end of day, these sorts of tactics are all trump. right now, he's using the media in order to promote his accomplishments, heading into the midterm elections. >> reporter: and this was a good week to go big. bruised brett kavanaugh confirmed to the supreme court, nafta renegotiated. the unemployment rate as low as it's been since '69. maybe kanye got it right. >> trump is on his hero's journey right now. and he might not have expected to have a crazy mother [ bleep ] like kanye west run up and support. >> now, next up, we expect to see the president on "60 minutes" sunday night, the first interview he has given the news magazine since taking office. is it working? well, jake, right now we are talking about kanye west and not robert mueller, so maybe it is. in the longer term, we all know that president trump unfettered, unchained, can go either way. jake? >> i think that's fair to say. nick watt, thank you so much. appreciate it. let's talk about the strategy right now. if thi

roger ailes in 1996 had produced rush limbaugh's television show.e had been with nixon and george h.w. bush. he's all those through rush limbaugh. -- he's all those through rush limbaugh. there was an audience on the right who were very dissatisfied with the idea of the mainstream media. there have been -- fossett not the only one doing this. -- fox is not the only one doing this. there was a lot more opinion that is out there right now in the media been there certainly was a generation or two ago. you start looking for something -- this is one of the things and -- thatderstood newt understood. he was telling them that they were being trampled on by the democrats. once he got them to start looking for it, they started seeing it a lot. looking for bias and bias against your side, you are going to start seeing it. host: this review from charles lane this morning and the washington post -- in the washington post. a review on the block out by our guest, steve kornacki. donna from st. louis, good morning. caller: good morning. this is not part of what i

in problem stems from back the white house when roger ailes worked there.v idea was to create a gop and then he went to work for i think thech and prime minister of australia just wrote a piece in the newspaper complaining about australian politics getting so out of order news, the right organ where the politicians are afraid to speak befor fear they will by murdoch's propaganda organ. the reason brexit passed in england was a lot to do with putin.'s empire and here, a thing going on cult of personality has formed got bigox news and fox back when limbaugh was going strong on radio. to this day, there are no liberal talkers on a.m. radio. hate radio takes up 90% of the spectrum on the am frequency. is, it is all a thing got all thesee breitbart,ones and real extreme right wing stuff and people watch this because fox news stimulates their confirmation bias. it tells them what they want to hear rather than getting a full diet of news, like listening to .bc and democracy now a full spectrum of everything. they like that confirmation bias because it tells them t

you and i bringing this up because i remember at the height of glenn beck you and i talking about roger ailesnd i know -- a lot of people are thinking it's the same as it was then. no, it wasn't. when glenn beck got into conspiracy theories, he was calling me saying he has gone over the line. he said the same thing to you. i mean, there is -- you can't tell -- a lot of people can't tell, john heilemann, there is a huge difference between what's going on at fox news today and what was going on at fox news five years ago. when you look at lou dobbs and some other people it is completely off the rails. you could say the same about donald trump's rallies and the people who are there. i'm shocked, really i am shocked, that americans after bombs were sent to all of these targets were chanting lock her up of hillary and were chanting cnn sucks when there are a lot of working class people at cnn, a lot of middle class people at cnn who never get close to being on air there that could have been victims and were most definitely targets of those bombs. >> right. >> and yet the hatred continues uninterru
