walter's mother was friendly.ut i wondered if she was wishing that walter had married an american girl. the others were nice to me, too. then, i had my first look at cleveland, ohio, the city which was to be my new home. his mother had been living alone since walter's father died. and we are going to stay with her until we can get a home of our own. as i looked around me, i was frightened. in this house, i would have to face a new life, very different than the one we had known in japan. ♪ the next evening, walter invited his family to come to the house and to see the pictures he had taken in the japan. i was still uneasy because i was not sure if these if these people liked me. something unpleasant happened to me. that night. walter's cousin wanted me to introduce myself. english was hard for me then, especially on the telephone. what i expected happened -- i could not understand a word. i knew there was no reason to be upset, but i felt stupid and ashamed. walter: i took this picture of her on our wedding day. th

you asked before about walter cronkite.- walter walter cronkite in the late 1960's, was regarded by 83 scent percent of the american people as the most trusted man in america. not the most trusted anchorman, the most trusted man, period, in america. he would end each broadcast with "and that is the way it is." and people believed that that is the way it is because of walter cronkite said it. but you listen to his commentary. he is calm, explaining what is going on. he is not interjecting his opinion into it. guest: he was emotionally very moved by the fact that dan rather and other cbs reporters were being manhandled by the police right there on the floor of the convention. host: going back to political figures you covered at that time, richard nixon went on to become president. he was nominated for a second time after losing in 1960. guest: when i first photographed him, it was at mission bay after the republican convention, where they come out to san diego to formulate campaign strategy. i photographed him with spiro agnew looking very chummy. this is one of my favorite shots. becaus

walter: thank you, hal. did you have more? hal: that was it, walter. walter: morris raskin of the so-called new party has called a meeting at the drake hotel, reserved a banquet room. he is expecting 200 or 300 delegates to attend that meeting. >> our thanks to cbs news for that footage. as we look back at 1968, 50 years later, our focus in this segment is the role of the media. we welcome a pulitzer prize-winning photographer to talk about the work in 1968, and marvin kalb from cbs news. walter cronkite, what role did he play? marvin: big-time. when the tet offensive began and the communists seem to be in the ascendancy to to be the victors of the war, walter thought he could no longer sit at the anchorman in new york. he wanted to see what was happening. he was old-fashioned in that respect. he asked if he could go. they did not want to send an anchorman. walter insisted, and he went. he spent a brief period of time, but he absorbed a great deal. he realized that the war could not be won. he said, i've got to do something which expresses my opinion.

congresswoman walters: 2.8% is what it is now.not know what the unemployment rate was one it was on the first day of the election of donald trump, but it has gone a lot lower since the policies were put in place. shery: right. what about the fact that we are seeing, when we are talking aret health care, those issues that can be important to your constituents. what about the national issues like mr. mueller's probe or other issues like judge kavanaugh being appointed to the supreme court -- how important are those issues? congresswoman walters: people hear about them, but they are not as important as the media would like to make them. mueller needs to finish his investigation and i firmly judgee that kavanaugh will be confirmed by the senate. of the day,nd hard-working americans in my district really are concerned about everyday life issues. that is raising their families, putting food on the table, knowing that they are living the american dream. that is what is important. what you can touch and feel. as we continue to move forwar

host: why did people listen to walter cronkite? guest: he was a man who had come through world war ii. he was a great correspondent. he had a great background. i knew walter really well, not as well as marvin did. i went with walter to hanoi to watch the last american pows released. about a personal story how that, there is no way around it, voice and demeanor, straightahead manner of walter cronkite, when we got to where they were housing u.s. prisoners, a place called the plantation, not the hanoi hilton, where mccain and the early prisoners were released two weeks before, they were in these p.o.w. pajamas and all that. i heard one of them saying i did not think they were really going to let us go until i saw walter cronkite there. then i knew it was true. that was the impact walter had. host: i want to go back to the convention in 1968. this is walter cronkite's reporting of the demonstrations taking place outside as the democrats are about to nominate hubert humphrey in 1968. [video clip] >> as we reported earlier, and this is

walter: yeah, i agree. why press the actual territorial issue if you can maintain your rights and relationship with the chinese at the same time. dan: any other thoughts before we open to questions? cara: my one little comments as we have been focused on the south china sea because it has been the news story. in terms of the united states strategy for southeast asia focus has to be on trade and the diplomatic outreach. i would not recommend very many changes to what we are doing in the security space. dan: ok, let's open it up. remember the rule we had. i demonstrated. over here, sir. one question, please. >> steve winters, independent consultant. although the asian economic crisis was 20 years ago and of course the crisis here. it is still in the memory of a lot of the southeast asian countries, and has this led, as i have heard, to an inclination on their part to not totally depend on so-called western norms and so forth and so on and to look to china for example as someone who might be able to give them

so there's a lot going on below the surface, and i think walter contrite becomes the fulcrum -- walter contrite the comes the lightning rod or fulcrum in the what you have to take a longer and wider view to appreciate the context. host: doug stanton, i want to show a clip from march 8, 1968, a phone call between johnson and the secretary of state talking about a meeting with the senate foreign relations committee and talking about the state of the war in vietnam. [video clip] meetingd a three-hour the other night. mansfield, as usual, spaghetti, had nothing to say. he is against the war. i have done everything i can to them saying this is nothing, just spaghetti. fulbright says i am determined that we have got to get out of there and that is my purpose. and anyed to, misled, time a contract is based on fraud, misrepresentation is no contact at all. and that congress does have some responsibility. be consulted. they say, we have been here three hours, and you play president for a minute and what is it you recommend? he recommends negotiation. i said, i do, too. going? how do you get he

walter isaacson has a question for you. walter. >> yes.morning from microsoft in which brad smith, the general counsel there and others, are releasing a report saying that microsoft has discovered all sorts of russian fake accounts, fake sites, that are there right now to hack the midterms. if the president of the united states keeps sort of half defending russia and saying, women, we're not even sure they did it, is the government doing things that will try to protect us against russia hacking the mid terms or are we just going to have to rely on private corporations like microsoft? >> that's a good question and it comes down to kind of that divide between his advisers and what they say and what the president himself says. now, his advisers came out into the white house briefing room just several weeks ago and said that russia remained a threat and remained a threat in 2018. they started detailing all of the things that the trump administration is doing to go against, sort of protect the u.s. election from this kind of meddling. but it ge

so walter, you first. is there a way to detect what is it the white house is most worried about here? >> i think what they're most worried about is the fact that don mcgahn, his white house counsel, has been privy to just about everything that's gone on in the white house. he has an extraordinary amount of information to share. him talking freely to robert mueller's team is really quite a font of information for them. that's going to be very useful as they analyze the facts. now, in terms of whether he said things that helped the president or harmed the president's cause, it's impossible to know, and i think we should be careful about speculating about that. we only have mcgahn's team's account for what happened. even to the extent that rudy giuliani referenced john dowd, dowd only has it from mcgahn. so we only have one side of the conversation. i don't think mcgahn went in there to hurt the president, but i don't think he went in to help him. i do believe that he's savvy enough to know what a mistake it

joining us is walter isaacson, and of course the former cnn chairman and ceo walter, good to see you. good morning >> good morning, carl. how are you? >> not bad i want your take a how the president framed this in person yesterday and how the think the conversation may or may not move forward with dorsey and sandberg on the hill next week? >> it's a very complex conversation at one extreme you have russians or iranians putting in real fake news, trying to destroy our system certainly much a google and facebook to try to guard against that then you have the next layer, which is the strange paranoid sites like alex jones, which i don't know why conservatives would defend he's not particularly conservative he believes people in mass shootings and fake -- you want to stop that what happens is when they decide to incent responsible news, and people's definition of "responsible" is different however, i just searched trump on google news first thing that pops up is fox news, then cnbc, cnn, a few others it tends to skew to the bigger outlets, because google is an algorithm. it's not some po

walter cronkite didn't know any of that.what he was really looking at was -- this is unsustainable for the american people. also, what is at stake? what are we fighting for? what is the cause? what is the risk to our country if we don't win the war? also, the sunk cost problem. do we continue to throw more young men into this fight to justify the lives of those who have already been lost? there is a lot going on below the surface, and i think walter cronkite becomes the lightning rod, and a way where you have to take a longer, wider view to really appreciate the context. >> doug, i want to ask you about congress as well. i want to show a clip from 1968, white house phone call between president johnson and his secretary of state, talking about a meeting between the senate foreign relations committee and talking about the state of the war in vietnam. here's a look. [video clip] >> we had a three-hour meeting with him the other night. mansfield, as usual, he was spaghetti, he had nothing to say. he is just against the war. sayi

we had walter peterson and walter peterson was the backbone of what made that whole administration so successful for mr. nixon. there was a group organized by the title of committee to do the right thing, i think george you are probably part of that. i know i was. walter peterson got a large group of very young people in the state of new hampshire to come together to work to get some structure into the republican party and to build up the election base so that we would have some a semblance. walter peterson was with mr. richard nixon. george romney was toying around and i didn't even know who he was. nelson rockefeller was in the state of new hampshire. he was romancing everybody all around and when he came to portsmouth he got all the predominantly republican men and women to go to the buckingham hotel which was a great thing at that time to have a little get-together which was a lot of fun. lots of drinks. i think i had my first martini in that buckingham hotel. >> or the last one. >> started to build that terrible habit but he really romance the republicans. the one night i'm talki

and walter mosley, books with devil in a blue dress, phyllis jones and most recently down the river onto the sea. booktv, all this week and prime time. here on c-span2. >> we are joined with a look ahead at the senate. he reports for the hill and alex, senate not taken the usual august recess, not sending senators back home to their states to campaign, the ones running in

floor at walter reed. this is the u.s. army hospital now closed. it was the preeminent hospital that was separated. the nurse mother decided their shouldn't be mixing of races among the nurses. if you had something like 9981 it didn't mean you actually intergraded completely. >> was there a legal challenge? >> the case of the nurse in 1955 her best friend was a white nurse. the white nurse was the one that wanted to push the fact that this was illegal. the black nurse was like, you know what, i'll just deal with it. what ends up happening is the nurse mother gets transferred and retired. that's when you had an integration of the nurses at walter reed. a lot of times it's individuals that make the difference. one other thing i'm asked about is black male nurses and where they sit-in the conversation. in the 1940s census they indicate there was 144 black male nurses that define themselves as black male nurses. there are black nurses out their but there are so few of them. >> it seems like you can uncover thi

. >> and now on booktv we want to introduce you to professor walter block whose most recent book is called "space capitalism." but this is not your only book, is that correct, professor? >> guest: this is, i think, the 25th book. who's counting? >> host: and you've written a new series, you're writing a new series. >> guest: well, this is the third in a series of three. i've got 22 other books, but the series here is privatization. and my idea is that if it moves, privatize it. if it doesn't move, privatize it. since everything either moves or doesn't move, privatize everything. why the? because the only alternatives are government ownership or non-ownership. non-ownership you have the tragedy of the commons like that's why we're running out of whales because no one owns them. that's why we almost ran out of buffalo, because we weren't allowed to own them. so non-ownership is not good, and government ownership is -- i'm not sure which is worse. each is worse than the other, because government as far as i'm concerned as a libertarian, government is a highly problematic institution which is

walter concrete was the voice of --al -- walter concrete walter cronkite was the voice of middle america. walter cronkite was the entire army. host: our conversation with david maraniss. jim webb of -- jim webb, the author of nearly a dozen books. let's get to phone calls. james here in washington, d.c., a veteran. class fromf of my , 12 wereolina, 21 boys vietnam veterans. americans, 8000 marines wouldrs, volunteer for vietnam almost every year of the war. you can i get none of the president to move on the backlog of claims of over 400,000 people , people waiting to in three years. infantry people like myself can i get our plans moved at the va hospital, year after year. that seems to be one of the legacies of those who served in vietnam. you dealt with that in the senate. firsto with that as the -- i have been working veterans issues all my adult life. i would like to say to the gentleman, and appreciate very much your stepping forward and serving. there's been a great misunderstanding in this country about how proud the people served in vietnam are. we did a survey when i was on the c

walter, question time. walter, this proposal that mike has and cara come you can comment on this, to the dealer should should be more diplomatically creative and proactive and set up without taking a side, set up some sort of maritime claimant caucus that offers them to set their own disputes can solve their own disputes. do you think that's workable? do you think we can get those countries together on the sidelines in one of these meetings? >> publicly not. only because one may have the capacity to do that already among themselves. but the other reason is because they will not respond well to an approach of an effort from the chinese. i think in terms of diplomatic creativity, where we could do more is in the interpretation of her committee treatment and applying those commitments specifically and explicitly occupied territory for example. that is not saying they're making a judgment on the philippine claims. it is just singing for the philippines are actually now, where they have people, a move on those i

walter isaacson, thank you for being with us as always.>> coming up, president trump holds a signing ceremony for a bill that was supposed to honor senator john mccain, but the president refused to mention the name john mccain. what's wrong with him? plus, the president uses a firing of peter strzok to call for an end to the russia probe, which has already put a lot of his people behind bars and got 'em pleaing with prosecutors. >>> also, a relaunch of the clinton e-mail investigation is what donald trump wants as well. basically, he wants everything that will distract from what he did during 2016's campaign. we'll talk about that and much more when "morning joe" returns. ♪ be right back. with moderate to severe crohn's disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. is she alright? i hope so. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remissi

but walter cronkite, you got 30 minutes of what to think. and so on february 28, wallet ends with a three -- walter cronkite ends his speech about the war in vietnam, and looks at the camera, he read from a script, says, looks at the viewer, and says, it seems more certain than ever that the bloody experience of vietnam is to end in a stalemate. to say we are closer to victory today is to believe in the face of evidence, the optimists who have been wrong. the off chance the military and political analysts are right -- it's clear to this reporter that the only rationale way out will be to negotiate. not as vehicle authorize -- victors, but as an honorable people who did the best they could. and so while this is playing out, there's a presidential election going on. in the summer of 1967, the democrats, a group of young left leaning democrats have started a jump johnson movement that is determined to find someone else to run for the democratic nomination. and they are, they cast for a number of potential candidates, landing first on tries to p

we had walter peterson, and walter peterson was the backbone of what made that whole administration, whole election so successful for mr. nixon. there was a group organized by the title of the committee to do the right thing. i think, george, you were probably part of that. i know i was, but walter peterson got a large group of very young people in the state of new hampshire to come together to work to get some structure into the republican party and to build up the election base so that we would have some semblance. of course, walter peterson was with mr. richard nixon. it's a young, a new generation of young people, this is a group that male and female is termed man of the year by "time" magazine in early 1967. they are start to be understood by their elders as this new generation that is not only large in numbers, but care more about social justice and geopolitical issues than their previous generations did. they are intensely engaged in many of them, in rectifying the injustices of the world and increasingly starting to talk about vietnam alongside civil rights and other injustic

joining us now is former cnn chairman walter isakson. great to have you with us. me a central question is when you get alex jones on twitter, is his twitter experience just kind of a digital representation of his speech in the world or is info wars a show on periscope that is subject to being cancelled >> you know, you have said yourself, john, that twitter has created the conditions of a supervirus and we are supposed to form our own immune system. i think twitter has become as has facebook and everything else not just a utility, but a publishing platform. and i think you should take responsibility for what you disseminate in public. in the old days if i was in a magazine like time or a letter to the editor, we could be sued and would have to take responsibility. you have to have some values about what you are disseminating. you can't just wash your hands and say we're not going to have any sense of responsibility because what has happened in social media -- this is much broader -- is that it was supposed to connect us. facebook, twitter, social networks were sup

but you probably know walter cronkite or are more familiar with walter cronkite. so this is, this is, it's hard, this is where news came from, right? it's not like we've all tuned out from the news, how many people consulted a news source in the last 24 hours, yeah. so it's not like you're tuning out. you're probably tuning in more, you get more news than you want to get, right? we have too many places to find it. but then, walter cronkite or the two other news anchors were the places you went. the nightly news, you sat down every evening and got 30 minutes of what to think. and so on february 28th, cronkite ends his broadcast with a three-minute speech about the war in vietnam. and he looks at the camera, and he reads from a script, he looks up, at the viewer sitting in their living room and says, for it seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of vietnam is to end in a stalemate. to say that we are closer to victory today is to believe in the face of evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past, to say that we are mired in stalemate

the sfpuc has junior walter rights to modesto and turlock. the first cubics belong to the irrigation districts, increasing to 4,000 cubic per second for spring runoff. above that, it belongs to the sfpuc. in a normal water year, the sfpuc is entitled to three times the water that is used. at full storage, we have enough water to last six years. even at theight of the recent drought, sfpuc had enough water in storage to last three years. the sfpuc had enough water and storage to last 4 1/2 years. 2017 was the second wettest year on record and the sfpuc had the right to capture enough water to last 12 years. they didn't have the ability to store all of that water, so they had to dump it. the water we conserve during the drought didn't benefit the environment was behind dams, only to be dumped in a single season. sfpuc staff have used scare tactics. they claim it could lead to the loss of up to 188,000 jobs and $49 billion. their projections are based on an extremely flawed socioeconomic study that has been debunked. water demand decreased by 30

okay, there's an alternative to wa walter, one the biggest upsets in american politics at that point, in contrast, it was so stark. less than ten years difference in their age. they looked 30 years apart. >> the people responded to their shocking loss in new hampshire. lastly, went on the attack. >> the assault began in the presidential debate in march of 1984. >> let me describe your positions. mr. mondale says for a quick and decisive lead, it's not been fulfilled and used the word "clobbered" to describe a defeat. mr. hart has dope well, presenting himself as a man with ideas for the future, but opponents say it's just tinsel, glamour, no substance. well, on to the substance, ladies and gentlemen. >> mondale, an old-school politician, stole a page from hart's new age script using popular culture to land a telling blow. >> i think that the dedication of the democratic party to minority people in the south and else where shouldn't just be jobs, when i hear -- >> when i hear -- when i hear new ideas, i'm reminded of that ad, where's the beef? >> where's the beef? >> a lot less beef, b

cronkite, unfathomable poker walter -- uncle walter, at one point he had been talking to rather and said looks like we have a bunch of thugs down there. --t was a pretty but remarkable thing coming from the most trusted man in america. that is what lbj was reacting to. today if that happened, there would be one anchor among dozens. i am not sure the president would know who to call. host: let's go to brad in minnesota. caller: i enjoyed listening to the historical parts of what is happening in the united states. witharted in 1950 operation mockingbird in the cia manipulating the people through the media, but as we know they stopped the operation mockingbird by stopping the payments. the media was never -- got caught because they went with this eia doing this and now we have it that the media continues with the manipulating with the people. what you see is almost a pendulum. control from 1955 to 1995. not until we get a different part of the media, which is fox news, the conservative station. what is going to happen in the midterms? the democrats are going to get crossed and i do not

. >> got an a k if people are looking for that walter again, he doesn't play by the general rules, that'st of his cult status, part of his visionary status what rules need to apply to him and has he broken any of them? >> the first rule that needs to apply, he has to have a board of directors that's informed when he's putting something out like that it is good that the board of directors formed a special committee. this is why you have boards of directors. you think of taking the company private, announce you're hiring goldman, sachs or that the saudi sovereign wealth fund you have been talking to for the past two weeks, you need some governance structures there, and his approach is one of his charms. why he's successful. but a board has to be there to say we're going to enforce some good governance here >> it seems like it is not necessarily so much an issue of twitter being bad, it's a fine method for distributing information quickly. elon musk seems to have a premature proclamation problem maybe there's a medication for that i wonder, stephanie, if there are lessons for everybody that'
