thank you one quick note great yet it was walter cronkite so i'm thinking what would walter be thinking this election i think you would say everybody just just breathe and that's the way it is bill thank you. that's exactly right thank you. so days after the u.s. election and still no conclusive result states have until december 8th to deliver the certified results that's supposed to help guarantee that all votes have indeed been counted that day is called safe harbor day because any state result delivered after that can be challenged the last time this all came into play was 20 years ago and that election that was alternately decided by the u.s. supreme court. november 2000 republican presidential candidate george w. bush seems to win florida but the results are so close that the rules demand a recount the whole election hangs in the palettes democratic candidate al gore request a manual recount in certain counties. recounting by hand took a long time. a legal battle slowed vote counting down and the state overshot the safe harbor date december 8th this allowed the bush campaign to ask

walter cronkite is the network person saying that. it was this notion, he might have known these things but we don't care. he's not like them. kissinger, this was one of his genius in some ways, keeping a distance from american politics, suggested in other ways was a paradox, but also it played to his favor in this context. he was able not to be drawn down by the abuses of watergate. in fact, nixon also served a role in that by elevating him and thinking it would save his presiden presidency. to the extent kissinger -- cuss ger was annoyed by congress, no question, didn't believe congress deserved the role it was trying to assert on foreign policy. let's face it, in american history we've gone back and forth. we've had times when congress did play a role but it's a tough institution in foreign policy. we've admired presidents who directed foreign policy. i think we admire a george h.w. bush who led foreign policy and in some ways h.w. came close to defying congress over the gulf war. i think on this question of where the separation of

the appearance of the nazi leaders had a big impression on legendary newsman walter cronkite. then a young reporter coming to the dog. as if this was not a fair proceed, as if they knew they were going to hang already. why go through all this with this thing that the allies were being most unfair about this occurs during clearly the number one seat in the front row, sat there as the boss who had no doubt, he felt that he ran the show cronkite would later write. i wanted to speak on them. i thought them lower than the deuce on the street. the stage was since many germans believed that the trial was merely allied propaganda remain in accordance with the provisions of the charter. that the indictment summarized 85 pages. it was an endless list of german crimes here in the respect here. and i have to set up crimes against peace crimes and crimes against humanity and iconic landmark. and spend it all as defined in the charter of the tribe and a card of my name as defendant and as indicted on the counts get . and i have to set out rudolf hess, him asked the early years. eric martin

so, then walter cronkite says what do you think when you sit here and i'm very moved by this.e said they gave us another chance. he said the question is what are we going to do with that chance. and in a way, i think we are at a crossroads today we have to ask ourselves what are we going to do with the chance we have when we move beyond this crisis are we going to be a more united country or are we going to allow our division to separate us as a people. >> that is a great segue. we have audio of president eisenhower. he spoke at the commonwealth club as you know and i have a little clip maybe about three minutes long where everybody can hear his voice. i know a lot of people are not aware. the way he says what he says is almost as important and i think it's relevant for today. so as soon that gets started we will listen to it. i find it fascinating as we were saying earlier, this generation of men. my father was in the war, dropped off in north africa and went through italy and sicily. i'm glad to be here this evening to sustain the perfect score happening with every president

so then walter cronkite says, you know, what do you think when you sit here? am very moved by this. he said, they gave us another chance. and he said, the question is what every going to do with that chance? and i in a way think we're at aa crossroads today were ask ourselves, what are we going to do with the chance we have by the time we move beyond this crisis? are we going to be a more united country or are we going to allow our divisions to separate us as a people? >> that's really a great segue. we had actually audio of president eisenhower. he spoke of the commonwealth club here 60 years ago, and as you know, and i have a little clip, maybe about three minutes long where everybody can hear his voice. i know a lot of people are not aware of it. it is not as commonly heard as president kennedy's boys, for example, with the clips. but the way he says what he says is almost as important as what he says. i think it's very relevant for today just as you were saying, so as soon as that clip started we will listen to it but i find it fascinating as we're saying

he gave an intervieto walter cronkite and all through the normandy coast line and of course this is thecan cemetery before it had been completely finished. it was a long process to put that cemetery togetherthat this was the first time ike had come back. the 10th anniversary of d-day occurred in 1955 when he was president and he d not want to politicize the, what's really hollow ground so he sent a gi to the people of normandy and spent the day in seclusion but here he comes back and he's taing to walter cronkite. but look at the pain in his face. all of those kids who didn't make it. and he was responsible for the decisions that may have caused some of those people their lives. so then walter cronkite says what do you think en you said here and i'm very moved by this, he said they ge us another chance. and he says the questiois what are we going to do with that chance ? and ike in a way, i think we're at a crossroads today where we have to ask ourselves what are we going to do with the chance we have by the time we move beyond this crisis ? are we going to be a more united country or a

here he comes back and talking to walter cronkite. look at the pain in his face.f those kids who didn't make it. and he was responsible which may have cost some of those people their lives. until then walter cronkite says what you think when you sit her here? i'm very moved by this. he said they gave us another chance. and he said the question is what are we going to do it that chance? and i come and a way, think we are at a crossroads today. we have to ask ourselves we have to ask yourself before you move on this crisis. are we going to be a more united country? or are we going to allow our divisions to separate us as a people? >> but is really a great segue. we have actually audio of president eisenhower. he spoke of the commonwealth club here 60 years ago. as you know. i have a little clip, maybe about three minutes on where everybody can hear his voice. i know a lot of people are not aware thought is commonly heard with the clips. the way he says what he says is almost as important as what he says. i think is very relevant for today, just as you were saying. s

who was a student of media history which of course i am in a major way go on youtube and watch walter cronkitelk about or any of the other anchors who talk about the shooting and subsequent death of president kennedy and you get a flavor for why 24 hour news is a very dangerous, as well as riveting and convening force, and that day the president reagan was shot in 1981 really was the worst fears about news and the news being reported like a sporting event as it was unfolding and all the attendant and inaccuracies that could happen as a result in the cascading effect of bad news being delivered instantly and we live at all everyday instantaneously, you know, constantly to our peril and detriment, i think but that was one of the first times that we saw that. >> right, you can't fact check in real time. this idea that the news not reporting it in its aftermath anymore but while it is unfolding is one of the things that reese really wanted to do and this is the big question i think that readers are left with especially during the first decades of cnn, whether it was covering significant things or

and of course walter cronkite raised questions about the war, lbj says, if i have lost cronkite, haveost middle america, and it was the beginning of the downfall. the bush administration did not allow embedded cameras into the wars against terrorism. as they were called. we barely were able to see coffin upon coffin flag draped being brought back, almost on an assembly line. they were only occasionally glimpsed and unloaded from aircraft, because they did not want to stories like that to upset the american people or the electorate. rather they showed to play bombing, which was like watching a video game. so i think that was a major change, and i think that is the culture of work coverage right now, which is don't let them in. susan: what about the administration's pursuit of leaks. mr. holzer: the bush administration and the reagan administration were very aggressive on cracking down on leaks using lie detectors and trying to find the source of leaks. by this time, there is a patriot act that forbids the use of information that might give comfort to terrorists and terrorist organizati

protests and police beatings outside, but let's watch this part of your broadcast and exchange with walter cronkite>> don't push me! take your hands off me unless you plan to arrest me. >> wait a minute. wait a minute! >> walter, as you can see -- >> i don't know what's going on, but this -- these are security people, apparently, around dan. >> this is the kind of thing that's been going on outside the hall. this is the first time we've had it happen inside the hall. i'm sorry to be out of breath, but somebody belted me in the stomach during that. and at that instant, the security people, well, as you can see, put me on the deck. i didn't do very well. eni i think we've got a bunch of thugs here. >> actually, dan, you did great there. does 2020 feel like 1968 to you? help us catch the mood of the country now versus then. do you see parallels? >> well, there definitely are some parallels. there's been a lot of violence in the country, widespread race riots in the country, anti-war demonstrations, however. when we got to voting day itself, there wasn't very much violence and fears of violence breakin
