hart who beat expectations and finished second in iowa to then go on to new hampshire and stun walter mondaleating him by ten points. >> boy, did new hampshire come up with a surprising finish tonight. >> hart's candidacy collapsed, but his victory exposed weakness in mondale. in november, ronald reagan carried 49 of 50 states. in 2012 mitt romney beat rick santorum, but never recovered from santorum's bruising. a populist insurgent is poised to become the latest protest vehicle, pushing hillary clinton to the left and potentially exposing vulnerability that could help republicans in the fall. and the democratic presidential candidate senator bernie sanders joins me now. welcome back to "meet the press." let me start with an issue you are going to be dealing with in a few hours. i know you'll be flying back from minneapolis to washington for this special senate session, nsa, patriot act session 215. i assume you are a supporter of the usa freedom act. is that where you are going to be voting? >> i may well be voting for it. it doesn't go as far as i want it to go. i voted against the patriot

madison baumgarnermadison baumgarner gets as much support as walter mondale did when he was against reagan4. not exactly the long range touch of steph curry. baumgarner much more accurate. he retired the first 14 san diego hitters struck out 8 in the first four innings and finished with a career-high 14. but there's the trouble. giants led 2-0 until will venable doubled in two runs and that was it for baumgarner. 11th inning alexi amarista with runners at the corners off strickland's glove. norris scores and that, folks, is the difference makers. the giants have lost 10 of the last 11 games at home. >>> these guys looking to see if the a's can stay hot in texas. oakland down 5-3 in the 6th but then bigley double to center, butler scores, davis scores, and the game is tied. bigley also homered in the game. top of the 7th 6-5 a's, ben zobrist deep for his fifth of the year. a's win 7 of the last 9 games. >>> adrian gonzalez trying to catch a foul ball but a fab holding a baby -- fan holding a baby catches it one-handed. here's the "catch." this is a picture tweeted by the dodgers last night.

when ronald reagan debated walter mondale rollins and beckel were the opposing campaign managers. >>e we spent debating the debate sh all the logistics of it how high the podiums were going to be -- >> days. >> days. >> days? >> oh, yeah we had teams negotiating. >> like how many time where they are, you know -- >> color of the room. >> what difference would it make to the candidate what color the room was? >> because in certain conditions in certain colors work for certain candidates. >> because mondale was shorter than reagan. >> we wanted more distance between the two podiums. we debated between 7 1/2 fight and 9 feet for a day and a half. >> the first debate came and reagan struggled. >> two-thirds of the defense budget pays for pay and salary -- or pay and pension. >> he looked a little tired, he looked a little ragged. the general organization was that they spent too much time with a 70 some odd-year-old guy trying to beat every fact toyed they could into his brain. >> people say reagan is too old for the office. >> you already are the oldest president am in history. in the ver

walter mondale was considered too far to the left. hubert humphrey even was considered too far to the left. they think now -- democrats think and they might be right, that the demographics of the country have changed. hispanic voters black voters the turnout in the general election 20 years ago was 90% white. it is now only 71% white. >> fair enough. >> they think in they get hurt but in the election years, every four years they have to stir up the faithful. she has to be sort of a -- i thought she tried to get cover with nancy pelosi who broke with the president, surprised, i think, a lot of people and they said you better work with nancy. also i thought it was a veiled criticism of his persona. obama's persona. all of a sudden you start going to baseball games with the congress people and you start phoneing people even phone boehner. >> i like complimenting you. it's always good having you. thank you very much my friend. >>> in the meantime it is a good thing donald trump has a lot of bucks because he sure burned a lot of bridges an

some of you remember the first debate between ronald reagan and walter mondale. he didn't present himself well at all. he knows how to memorize his lines and he couldn't get over the closing statement. everybody -- all the candidates memorized the opening statement and closing statement. he repeated himself. "the wall street journal," the friendly wall street journal the next day asked the question of the headline is ronald reagan too old to be president? writing later he said he thought that those were the initial symptoms. but john poindexter told me he thought one of the reasons the scandal got out of hand the way that it gave that there was this stuff going on in the west wing that he wasn't aware of is that he was becoming forgetful and people would tell him stuff and he would forget. this will culminate in a very poignant but also a very scary moment when he's two years out of the white house and he is being asked to give evidence to justify in one of the criminal cases and so he gives a deposition. and in the deposition of a couple of hours, he assessed th

it wasn't until jimmy carter and walter mondale had a good partnership that the modern vice presidencyhis country, the closest personal relationship. there is not another that rivals that. i thought we saw the president explain that today and what he called his love for joe biden and in terms of what the president said eloquently about beau biden, it reminded me less of a eulogy than of a classical funeral oration the ancient greeks and romans did often celebrating and honoring the life of somebody who died young. and this is some of our greatest classical literature are these funeral yororation's why it's not clear the president's will stand with those it will stand the test of time eloquent and moving enough eulogy that you will see a lot of people viewing it over time and it will stand up well among his other great speeches of this presidency. >> i think we have luke russert now standing by outside the church where that mass has just completed. luke russert, tell us what your thoughts are right now if you would. >> well, i think that was an extremely emotional service, steve. i'm ou

former senator gary hart and former vice president walter mondale talk about work on the church committee, one of congress's first intelligence community and effect reforms had on intelligence gathering in subsequent years. >> good morning, everyone. thank you so much for coming i'm mike german, a fellow at the justice and new york university law school. i welcome you today's symposium in strengthening oversight. this is the 40th anniversary of the creation of the senate select committee to study governmental operations with respect to intelligence activities. more simply known as the church committee after its chairman senator frank church. it was the only within the united states. this is one of a series of activities that they have undertaken to recognize this anniversary. we published a report called "what's wrong with the court," and they will be leading a panel this afternoon on intelligence activities, and we also published a report on strengthening congressional oversight signed by 18 church committee staffers, many of whom are in the room with us today and you'll notice that they

before bill clinton, there was walter mondale. >> the american people will have to pay mr.get will be squeezed. taxes will go up. and anyone who says they won't is not telling the truth to the american people. >> he ran as a traditional liberal, he won just one state against ronald reagan. >> i accept your nomination for the presidency of the united states. >> dukakis didn't do better he lost 40 states in 1988. so bill clinton tried something different. he pitched his message away from the democratic base to non-liberals to swing voters. he was for the death penalty. he was for free trade. he signed the defense of marriage act, wanted to end welfare as we know it and it worked. clinton turned huge swaths of the country blue in 1992 and he kept them that way in 1996 back-to-back national victories, the first for any democrat since fdr. but now, think about that strategy. think about how hillary clinton has been talking lately on immigration. >> make no mistake, today, not a single republican candidate announced or poe ten, is clearly and consistently supporting a path to cit
