put that guy on ted kennedy. in 1971, a year before this all happened, nixon had actually told his chief of staff, it was caught in the oval office tapes, he told him, quote, i'd really like to get kennedy taped. well, the following year after the george wallace assassination attempt, nixon thought he finally figured out how to get that done, using the secret service to get him taped. to get the dirt on him that he couldn't get any other way. ted kennedy initially accepted the offer of secret service protection. but after about three weeks, he changed his mind and sent them packing. and now that we know from the historical record what the secret service had been sent there to do by nixon, that seems like it was a fortuitous call. in 1973, the following year, after nixon tried to fire his way through the justice department to kill off the watergate investigation, that weekend rash of firings known as the saturday night massacre, the secret service director at the time resigned. the firings were saturday night. the

workforce policy and we came successful in working my democrat on a part in the senate, senator ted kennedy. the press used to call as the political book kids but when i came to no child left behind in the lot of other policy efforts, ted kennedy and i could work out almost anything. he was liberal and i was conservative but we both wanted to get things done on behalf of the country. in 2006 i became the majority leader, we lost the majority at the end of 2006 and i became the minority leader in 2007. i did that job up for four years, two of those years was george bush's president into with barack obama as president. in 2010 when republicans took back the majority i was elected speaker. the five years as speaker i have to tell you i had my failures. we had 245 - 250 republicans, 210 were good solid members to work with but on any given day there would be two or three dozen of my republican colleagues, the knuckleheads i call them who wanted all or nothing. they wanted all their way or no way at all. which frustrated me too no end, a detail in my book the challenges of the 2011 and with pres

ted kennedy and i have dozens of pieces of legislation together we want to get things done back the other tell you like to talk about, ted cruz that you have any common ground with them? >> he would communally come to the outside it wind up by knuckleheads, i would called conservative. i am conservative. i don't know what i would call these people they are the knuckleheads. he'd winding these guys up to get them to do things that made no sense whatsoever. here's a guy who would avoid me in the halls who would never talk to me. and continue to mess with my life. i nudged a few people in this book. there is one guy i annihilate, ted cruz. so one of your banner -isms is get the right people on the bus and help them find the right seat. who are those people today. i don't know i'm not there. i'm not the bus driver. i'm not sure who's getting on the bus. old management theory i always believed in. if you have the right people on the bus, once you're on the bus you convert what seats is best for them. i plenty of my own staff together in terms of overtime they've got other skills. make sure you

there is a famous by the johnny's to have ted kennedy which are infamous but it was never personal. so as the years way and on i know you saw this well they became kind of in my view kind of a deep divide in the senate that was not healthy and also not civil and kind and they think the thing that we all stood for in the members ousted for, it was hard to watch really especially since john's death. it was certainly made very clear but i think the one thing i would like to remind readers is that i believe in american this pendulum that we are in right now is going to swing back the correct way. that's what americans do. so i just hope that as people read the book that they understand that did i tell the stories of days gone by and the truth of the matter is i believe america will swing back to a more civil society. >> host: that comes through in your books and it's a really important message and of course i agree with you and i love what you said about john and ted kennedy. they would fight like well like. [laughter] and i was just saying to people we need more centrism in american po

senator ted kennedy. we both wanted to get things done on behalf of the country.e the majority leader, we lost the majority again in 2006 and became the minority leader in 2007. two of those years was barack obama as president and 2010 what republicans took back i was elected speaker. for the five years i had my challenges. we had a 245, 250 republicans, 210 of them but on any given day there would be two or three dozen republican colleagues who wanted all or nothing. they wanted their way or nothing at all. or the fact a member of the united states senate wasn't a member of thehe republican house and because of the government shutdown. thank you, ted cruz. it was a wonderful experience serving the congress and it was a wonderful experience serving as the speaker of the house. there are a lot of responsibilities, institutional responsibilities and thees numbr one job as the speaker of the house iss to protect the integrity of the institution itself it's the speakers job to protect the institution and the institution has been around for 240 years that means protect

when we speak of carrying, the spirit is ted kennedy's.f patriotism, the strength is john glenn's. and when we speak of the future, the message is geraldine ferraro. and now, we leave san francisco together. and over the next 100 days, in every word we say, in every life we touch, we will be fighting for the future of america. joan and i are parents of three wonderful children who will live much of their lives in the 21st century. this election is a referendum on their future and on ours. so tonight, i want to speak to the young people of america and to their parents and to their grandparents. i'm walter mondale. you may have heard of me but you may not really know me. i grew up in the farm towns of southern minnesota. many dad was a preacher and my mom was a music teacher. we never -- we never had a dime but we were rich in the values that are important. and i've carried those values with me ever since. they taught me to work hard, to stand on my own, to play by the rules, to tell the truth, to obey the law, to care for others, to love ou

a good law that ted kennedy was on, john mccain, a backed partisan effort to push it through. at this point the images on tv were people sneaking across the border, doesn't take much to stir up american passion because americans want the border secure. it is a tough issue to secure the border. clinton started operation, i followed up, president obama, the last four presidents and a lot of time trying to secure the border. it is not easy to do. but until things calm down on the border it is going to be hard to get a comprehensive plan passed. i do think, in the book i have a theaca kid who went across the rio grande river, 6 one 4 years old, wants to make a living and reunite with her husband and his father. she dies in the dallas area. he goes to school. kind people helping him. he is now an electrical engineer. he doesn't have a home. it seems a logical issue to fix. may be daca can get fixed, the first step toward additional immigration reform, it seems logical to me and most americans agree. whether you like it or not whether their parents are undocumented. it is an impossi

members as well across the aisle for the good of the country now mind you the famous fight with ted kennedy as the years went on i know you saw this as well he became such in my opinion a deep divide in the senate it's been hard to watch especially since john's death it's been very clear. the one thing i would like to remind the readers i believe in the states there's this pendulum that swings back because that is what we do, that is what americans do. so i just hope as people read the book that they understand it. we tell these stories as the days go by the truth of the matter i believe is it will swing back to a more civil society. >> let's go through in your raising of the book it's a really important message. what you said about john and kennedy i just was saying to people why should the democrat republicans, left and right a critical question to negotiate the words you use to support in a civil and respectful way with your colleague on the other side to get something done. he was a liberal democrat and john mccain was a conservative republican but kennedy was really amazing and came to

were like oil and water. -- he and ted kennedy were like oil and water. more --had a better temperament maybe we would have had something like the cares act. the unbelievable level of racial injustice in georgia in carter's earlier years. to that i think the kennedy-partner relationship i spent a lot of time chronicling -- kennedy-carter relationship i spent a lot of time chronicling, to me that was the most interesting. if carter had a better tented -- temperament, he would have been a better president. he was a better president than people recognized but he could have been better still if he had avoided certain mistakes. host: our guest has been jonathan alter, author of " his very best: jimmy carter, a life." thanks as always for your time and insights. guest: thank you for having me. if you are interested in my interviews with other people who are a little older and wiser, i launched a new newsletter called " old goats" at oldgo ats.substack.com. do not get too focused on culture that mostly respects the young and new. host: after this break we will b

when i first started covering congress, he was one of the old bull senators there along with ted kennedye nowadays. your reflections? >> kasie, i covered senator warner over three decades, going back to when i was a young college newspaper editor, a washington university, he spoke at my graduation. and as i came up through newspapers, the richmond times newspaper, i always covered john warner. and kasie, one of my favorite things from him, something that really summed him up with his agreeing. we would call him the senator from central casting. here's why, he would always say, i'm proud, but humble to be your senior senator. it wasn't that humble, but it was very john moore. >> for sure. mike allen, thank you very much for your time this morning. and as we do remember john warner, again, one of the things that has really changed about our politics over the years is the kind of people who are willing to get into politics because of the way we are so divided these days. we really need strong, principled, talented people in public service, if this is all going to work. and it's become harde

remember the famous scott brown line seeing this is the people's seat not ted kennedy's seat. andrew has ever right to run for that seat but he has to convince and prove to the voters that he is qualified and capable and that announcement is a failing and he feels so entitled to govern the people of new york which would be a rather large competitive sized economy and nobody's entitled to a position. for christ's sake -- all sorts of people has claims on things but that's not how the country works. >> you have to grow on your own and after having last name sets you on for a prize fight doesn't actually respect the office or the state of new york. >> all right. very good. we have to leave it there. we'll probably talk about this again in the future. jon, margaret, thank you so much. >>> next she was catapulted to fame by the performance in "basic instinct." now she say it is role almost broke her life. we are joined by award winning actress sharon stone. there she is. the amazing talents brilliant sharon stone and wants to stop a cut of the film released. we'll talk about that n

of well across the aisle for the good of the country and the famous fights that johnny dabbled ted kennedy he was never personal and you saw that as well we became in my life a deep divide in the defendant senate that is not healthy, it's also not simple and kind and the things that we all stood for and the members stood for which is been hard to watch especially since john's death that has been very clear, i think the one thing i would like to remind readers that read some of this i believe in america and the pendulum that were in right now will swing back the correct way because that's what we do that's what americans do, i just hope as people read the book that they understand it that i can tell these stories and the days gone by that the truth of the matter is america will explain that to a more civil society. >> that comes through in your writing in the books and it's important message and i agree with you and i love what you said aboutai john kennedy. and that they were friends and i was just seeing the people, we need more centrism in american politics. , when i say census democrat

look, my former boss, john boehner, worked famously with ted kennedy to do no child left behind. paul ryan worked with senator patty murray to do big deals. big deals are almost impossible now because that is treason to a lot of voters and that is the real erosion of democracy. our ability to come together and have any middle groundi. when you think the other side is trying to ruin your way of life, there is not a lot of incentive to work together. i don't think the voting laws in georgia, my home state, i think those have been wildly exaggerated, the effect of those. i think there's a lot of hyperbole going on so i don't think necessarily democracy is at risk through some of those laws right now, but that doesn't mean that there aren't efforts under way we need to be cautious of, particularly as we've seen in georgia, you have people running for secretary of state running on the concept that the election was stolen. so those are the things that i'm worried about. >> ron brownstein, final observation. another brilliant piece in "the atlantic" in which you wrote about what the rep

. >> a decade ago, you upended the balance of power here in washington by turning ted kennedy's senateeat in massachusetts red. now many in your party, as i just talked about, starting with -- at the top with the former president, keep pounding away, questioning the results of the presidential election falsely, and they are probably going to block this effort to have this commission. how worried are you about the state of the gop? >> well, i believe we need to be a big tent party, like president reagan said. we can fight to the death if we have to. obviously, i'm not serious, but we can fight tooth and nail, like tip o'neill and ronald reagan did. they fought by day, but by night they grabbed a scotch, played some cards and solved our country's problems. we are all americans first. we are not just democrats and republicans. as you know, as the most bipartisan senators, i'm a problem solver. instead of fighting about masks and stupid stuff like that, how about looking at what china is doing stealing our intellectual property, manipulating currency, changing the law of the sea and intern

the portuguese water dog died, after arriving from the white house at six months old, a gift from ted kennedy in a statement, michelle obama said in a part quote, as a family, we will miss bo dearly, but we are thankful that he lived such a joyful life. with evenings lying on the couch. our condolences to the obama family. so hard to lose a friend like that. >>> still ahead, we will dig into a you in report suggesting the government used its power to seek access to communications from journalists during the russia investigation.

and in 2009, he won a special election in massachusetts to serve out ted kennedy's term in the senate after senator kennedy died in office. three years later, senator brown was defeated in his re-election campaign by someone who had never run for office before, harvard professor elizabeth warren, who senator brown believed he was cleverly insulting every time he called her professor, in a campaign where it was inconceivable to scott brown that massachusetts voters would want to send a provably smart person to the senate to represent their interests. elizabeth warren has now taken her place on the shortlist of smartest senators in history, and scott brown went on to serve as donald trump's distinguished ambassador to new zealand, where he apparently did no harm. now scott brown is back and willing to state the obvious. >> you're a former senator and ambassador. do you agree with them that trump bears responsibility -- >> yeah. >> -- for the insurrection? >> yeah, absolutely. i mean he bears responsibility. i think his presidency was diminished as a result of this, and i think he's payi

president nixon had agents trying to eavesdrop on ted kennedy.o was not a presidential candidate at the time but they believed was under some sort of danger of assassination. but the goal was to get dirt on a political enemy and try to railroad him out of a chance of becoming president ever. in the case of donald trump, he deployed secret service agents to help him clear lafayette kwar on june 1st. basically removing every single protesters of the george floyd murder because president trump wanted a photo op in front of church to show that he was tough and prevailing over protesters and establishing law and order in the nation's capitol. he risked their health and lives as covid was spiking around the country so that you could continue to do campaign rallies in public. 300 secret service officers and agents either contracted covid or had to be quarantined because they were exposed and were at risk of getting covid during that summer of campaigning. also the president could continue to boost his image and continue to came in public and in his view

i describe him to most people on tours if ted kennedy and bill clinton had a child it would be him. then we have george meade who is the finest combat officer in the army of the potomac at this point. he is one of the junior most leading core commanders john sedgwick who is a carryover of the mcclellan days and is just as slow as george mcclellan oliver rhodus howard who is just nicknamed. oh howard and that can say at all. he is probably the most inept core commander of everyone you're seeing here in that includes dan sickles, and then you have henry slocum who would even board drywall, but he's a pretty brilliant brilliant man, but not a very daring commander. so joe hooker is gonna bring a list of characters to fight stonewall jackson robert e. lee and jeb st. three of the most audacious officers to fight in the american civil war he is not exactly bringing what i would call an a team to to bat. he does have men who are experienced in their respective roles. some aren't inexperienced in their respective roles like oliver, otis howard and dan sickles george meade. he has a little

i worked on the senate health committee when ted kennedy was chair and we worked with senator burr.as always been and he even said, with pride, he got vaccinated, kids got vaccinated, grandkids got vaccinated, and he did what i was hoping republicans would do, talk about the value of the vaccine, be a role model for anybody who feels like if you're a republican or you're a white male, you shouldn't get vaccinated, and then you contrast that with senator rand paul, which, by the way, he's an m.d. but that doesn't mean he listens to objective facts, and the thread is that there has been nih funding that has gone to different labs around the world, including labs in wuhan. what senator rand paul has done now is propagated this crazy myth that the nih funding and directly, tony fauci's funding, as if he was personally involved, was involved in gain of function research where people research viruss and try to understand if those viruses can be more potent in weaponized in some ways. fauci, that's absolutely never been a shred of evidence linking the two, but it's like one of those things

kennedy and another book about president kennedy by ted sorenson just called "kennedy," he thought it put his administration in a really poor light. so he put out a memo to his friends. he said, i just dashed these things off the top of my head. but it's this really kind of detailed memo. we often at work refer to it as ike's top ten. he actually lists 23 things. i just have some of them here on the screen for your consideration. of course he added two states to the union during his presidency. the st. lawrence sea way was built. significantly, the first civil rights bill in 80 years, one in 1957, one in 1960, dealing largely with voting rights, were passed. the most ambitious road program by any nation in all history of course is our interstate highway system. eisenhower did not completely reject the new deal. in fact he really accommodated much of fdr's new deal and harry truman's fair deal. the interstate highway system cost more than all of the new deal social programs and work programs combined. so it was a massive public expenditure. and of course something that many of us exper

ted cruz who, as we recall, has completely gone all in for donald trump despite donald trump publicly attacking his wife, her looks, her mental stability and publicly accusing his father of being part of the kennedy u.s. military is emasculated and pansies. any thoughts? >> you know, ted cruz is very thirsty for attention, whether it's from donald trump, folks on the internet. he is essentially become a twitter troll at this point. you know, he's talking about other people being emasculated, the american military being emasculated. he in some ways is emasculating himself by running up behind donald trump in the way that he does after donald trump has disparaged his wife and accused his father of somehow being involved in the john f. kennedy assassination. this is in some ways where the loudest voices of the republican party have ended up, in the mold of donald trump in some ways, and it's just unfortunate. you saw democrats obviously try to come back and point to the fact that he is being anti-military in embracing russia. >> russian propaganda. >> russian propaganda. >> you don't seem to be particularly impressed with the democratic or even pentagon pushback. >> i just think that for decades rep
