Goldwater's Remarks on Signing the Tax Reform Bill:



Goldwater: I want to begin by thanking members of both parties here today as without their hard work this remarkable day would never be possible. Thanks to their hard work we can finally end an era of unfair, punitive taxation system which hurt the average American while benefiting every special interest in Washington and take the first steps in inaugurating an era where we can move to a tax system that is fair, and will help our economy grow. Now there is just one more step to take and that is for me to sign the tax reform bill so let me go to the desk over there and sign the bill.

Goldwater signs Bill

Senate Confirmation for Sumpreme Court Nominees Hearings Begin:



Brinkley: The Senate Confirmation Hearings for Judge Warren Burger and Professor Alexander Bickel began today. The Hearings so far we are told have gone smoothly and it looks like both nominations will be approved.

Huntley: Yes it have but remember its only day 1, so things are more likely to go smoothly then they will in later in the hearings. On the other hand it doesnt look like either Judge Burger or Professor Bickel will come close to be rejected by the Senate so things do look good for them right now.

David Brinkley: We have breaking news to report to you and that is the Leader of North Vietnam Ho Chi Minh has died. The Administration has not reacted to the news , and we are told likely will not respond.

Breaking News: Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen Dies of Cancer:




Brinkley: We have some sad news to report to you and that is that Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen has passed away due to cancer. Senator Dirksen will forever be known as the man who worked with President Johnson in passing civil rights legislation despite the fact that he and the President were ideological opposites, with President Johnson being a strident New Deal Democrat, while Senator Dirksen was one of the most influential members of the Conservative Coalition in Congress. We will be forever grateful for his service to the state of Illinois and our nation of ours.


President Goldwater and other Prominent figures react to the news of Senator Dirksen's passing:


President Goldwater: Today is a very sad day for the state of Illinois and our nation as we have lost a great man. Senator Dirksen always put the interests of the people first even if it may not have been in his personal interests to do so , and that is why he will be missed by all of us. So to my friend, and colleague I want to let you know that you will be known in history as one of our greatest senators and may you rest in peace.


Former President Johnson: Today is a very sad day for our nation. It is also a a sad day for me personally, because he was a good friend, and a great partner because I can tell you without his effort we would not have made the progress on civil rights as we did.The world will miss a great man, and I want to offer my condolences to his family in what must be this tough time.

Secretary of State Nixon: Today is a sad day for our nation. Senator Dirksen served the people with honor and dignity his whole life, and the world has certainly been a better place due to him being in it . I want to let his family know that we all will be there for them in what must be a tough time.


Long Time Senator From Utah named Wallace Bennett Named New Minority Leader



Brinkley: Long Time Senator from Utah, Wallace Bennett was named GOP leader over Pennsylvania Senator High Scott in an extremely narrow vote of 24-21. Senator Bennett has long been known as a Pro-Civil Rights Business Conservative Senator, and will now become the new minority leader in the Senate.

Illinois Speaker of the House Ralph Tyler Smith appointed to fill the Late Senator Dirksen's Seat



Huntley: Illinois Speaker of the House Ralph Tyler Smith was appointed earlier today by Governor Richard Ogilvie to fill the Senate Seat of the Late Senator Dirksen. He will be sworn in by Vice President Rhodes tomorrow morning, and officially become senator of Illinois.

Brinkley: Earlier today Judge Warren Burger was sworn in by Justice Hugo Black and will become the 15th Chief Justice of the United States, and Professor Alexander Bickel was sworn in as well and now will be called Associate Justice Alexander Bickel.

[President Johnson]

Glad to see Burger becoming Chief Justice. He was pretty a pretty solid pick, although not as good as the great Earl Warren (nobody since was).

Glad to see Burger becoming Chief Justice. He was pretty a pretty solid pick, although not as good as the great Earl Warren (nobody since was).

Burger was actually  viewed as a strict-constructionist Judge Before he was nominated:

So in ways he kinda was like the Roberts at the time, someone viewed as very conservative when they were nominated but moderated over the years due to the becoming the Chief Justice.

[UWS]

Just wondering, how both parties' share in the Senate and in the House of Representatives look like in this scenario?

[OSR stands with Israel]

Just wondering, how both parties' share in the Senate and in the House of Representatives look like in this scenario?

Right now in the House, it is: 223 Democrats to 212 Republicans

in the Senate, it is: 54 Democrats to 46 Republicans


From an Ideological Perspective though: Conservatives hold the majority in the House, while in the Senate it depends on the issue.

Goldwater proposes that Congress increase the amount it spends on Block Grants to make Government programs more efficient:



Brinkley: Earlier today the President requested that Congress increase amount it spends on block grants to make governments more efficient. He said that states and local municipalities can better solve unique problems facing them while the federal government  cannot do that which means they would have to spend more money to solve problems then they would have if the states ran the programs.

Democrats in Congress have said that they will oppose the plan but people in the White House believe that there are more than enough conservative Democrats for this plan to pass.



Brinkley: Massive anti-war protests and teach-ins took place all across the nation in an attempt to end the war. The President responded to these protests in a statement saying that he is doing all he can to end the war with honor, and he hopes that our soldiers can be brought home soon.


Off Year Election Preview:


Brinkley: The off year elections will take place next week, which will decide who becomes mayor in the many cities across our nation, and even a couple Gubernatorial Elections will take place next week. We are following 3 races : the Virginia and New Jersey Gubernatorial Races , and the New York City Mayoral Race, so Chet what are the state of those races

Huntley: Well lets first start in Virginia

Virginia: Former Ambassador William Battle(D) vs Representative Richard Harding Poff(R): Tossup

Huntley: Congressman Poff currently has a 2-3 point lead in the polls and if he holds would become the first Republican Governor in nearly a 100 years.

New Jersey: Former State Senator Robert Meyner(D) vs Representative William Cahill(R): Likely Republican

Huntley: Representative Cahill holds a 20 point lead in the polls so unless something goes really wrong he will for certain win

New York City: Mayor John Lindsey(Liberal) vs NYC Comptroller Mario Procaccino(D) vs State Senator John Marchi(R) - Tossup between Liberal and Democratic Candidates

Huntley: While Mayor Lindsey was primaried he still won the Liberal Party Nomination and has decided to run for mayor as a nominee of their party and he currently holds a 1 point lead in the polls over Mr.Procaccino.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Republicans win both Virginia and New Jersey in Off-Year Elections, while Mayor Lindsay wins as 3rd party candidate



David Brinkley: In Yesterday's off-year elections the Republicans won in both New Jersey and Virginia. In New Jersey Republican William Cahill was elected in a landslide victory defeating his Democratic opponent by a margin of 23 points and in Virginia Republican Richard Poff will become the first Republican Governor of the state in nearly 100 years and won by 7 points over his opponent. In the New York City Mayoral Race , Mayor John Lindsay the Liberal Party candidate defeated both the Democratic opponent and Republican opponent to be reelected.


Massive Anti-War Protest takes place Washington DC



David Brinkley: We have breaking news to report to you and that is that over 500,000 protestors have marched to Washington DC to protest the Vietnam War. About 40,000 of those protestors are right outside the White House chanting Are You Listening Goldwater, Are You Listening Goldwater, Are You Listening Nixon and it is time to give peace a chance. The President had no comment to give about the protests other than that he is working as hard as he can to end the war.


Huntley: While the protests are not nearly as violent as they were last year they have made it clear they are not willing to be patient with the new administration as they believe that he like President Johnson isnt trying hard enough to end the war.


Goldwater signs 2 bills which will give the US justice department the ability to crack down heavily on Organized Crime 




Brinkley: Earlier today President Goldwater signed the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act into law which allows the justice department to crack down on Racketeering and prosecute the leaders of a crime syndicate for crimes they ordered other people to do. He also signed a bill which allows the Justice Department to protect the witnesses and families of the witnesses.

Goldwater's First Year: Helm Hard to the Right



Huntley: With the first year of the Goldwater Presidency wrapping up, it is clear there has been a clear shift rightward in our nation both politically and policy-wise

Brinkley: There is no doubt of that. Conventional Wisdom for decades has been that while Presidents may come and go, the Federal Bureaucracy remains unchanged, the very progressive tax code remains unchanged but so far conventional wisdom as been wrong. The Tax Code has been altered significantly, the President has declared an all-out war on the regulatory state issuing numerous executive orders which get rid of many regulations and made it harder for new regulations to be implemented and has already beginning to remake the judiciary with the nomination and confirmation of 27 new judges: most of them who are strong believes in Federalism and Strict Constructionists . 2 of those 27 Judges have been Supreme Court Judges and a record 12 have been Appeals court judges.


Huntley: Many of those judges also could be candidates for the Supreme Court next vacancy as well, and if he is reelected he could appoint up to 4 more Supreme Court justices as well so the fact is this could be his most lasting change. On policy if his block grant proposal gets passed it would remake the nation's bureaucracy as well, so the fact is while we have helmed hard to the right over the past year its likely to helm even further right over the next 3 and maybe next 7 years.



Goldwater's Approval Rating and any other news polls released :


Goldwater's Approval:

Approve: 54%
Disapprove: 38%


House Generic Ballot:

Democrats: 45%
Republicans: 44%

Very Early Democratic Primary Poll:


Former North Carolina Governor Terry Sanford 24%
Former Alabama Governor George Wallace: 23%
Congressman Eugene McCarthy: 21%
Former Vice President Hubert Humphrey: 19%
Other/Dont Know: 13%



Summary of Goldwater's 1970 State of the Union Address:




Chancellor: The President in his state of the union address today addressed many issues from regulatory reform , to block grants to Vietnam. He over and over called for reform to the US regulatory system saying that currently unelected bureaucrats are able to effectively create laws with their power and  he believes that it is time for Congress to take that power away as it is power that only the people or their elected representatives should have . He also called for there to be more checks and balances as well when it comes to regulations to prevent bad regulations from being implemented in the first place.

The President also called for Congress to block grant more programs as he said that each state and local municipality faces unique problems that only the states and local governments can solve effectively as well. He said that the federal goverment cannot solve those unique problems with one size fits all solution and brought up multiple examples of these cases.

On the issue of Vietnam he brought up the success the US military has had in destroying their harbor in Haiphong and said that the new strategy for winning the war has worked.

Economist George Stigler nominated by President Goldwater to chair Federal Reserve



Brinkley: Earlier today President Goldwater nominated Economist George Stigler to become the next chairman of the Federal Reserve. This pick as expected , but this pick will mean both our Fiscal Policy and Monetary Policy will be run by top Economists from the Chicago School of Economics. The Senate Announced that they have scheduled a confirmation hearing for him and those hearings will begin on January 26th

Buffalo Bills Star Jack Kemp announces that he will be challanging Senator Charles Goodell for the Republican Nomination in the New York Senate Race:



Brinkley: Earlier today , Buffalo Bills star Jack Kemp announced that he will be running for the New York Senate Seat this year. He will be running as the Conservative Alterantive in the Republican Primary to Senator Charles Goodell one of the top Liberal Republicans in the Senate and one of the top critics of the Goldwater Adminstration in the Republican party . Mr.Kemp in his speech emphazied the importance of the tax reform and his support of the President's Regualatory Reform Agenda.

Huntley: While Senator Goodell will be the favorite in the primary , Mr.Kemp wont be an easy challanger given that he is well known in the State of New York and given the ascndence of Conservatism in the Republican Party.

Brinkley: Many Conservatives have said this primary could resemble the 1966 Republican Primary in California where then actor Ronald Reagan easily defeated the Liberal Republican Candidate Mayor Chrstopher in the primary.

Huntley: Well there are some differences. One is that California is signfiantly more of a Conservative State than New York. Also Remember in 1966 Reagan not Christopher was supported by much of the party establishment from Southern California which is where most of the votes live while in New York at least half the votes will come from New York City which both the voters and the party establishment are liberal.  For Mr.Kemp to have a chance he not only will need President Goldwater's endorsement he will need the President to Campaign for him and even then it will be difficult as Governor Rockefeller for certian will campain for Senator Goodell.


Breaking News: Economist George Stigler Confirmed by the Senate , will become the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve




Brinkley: After a tenicious confirmation hearings where many senators challanged Mr.Stigler over his economic beliefs , he has been confirmed by a vote of 60 Ayes to 40 Nays.

House Passes President's Block Grant Plan in the Budget:



Brinkley: The House Today passed President Goldwater's Block Grant Plan in the Budget. If approved by the Senate it would mark an extraordinary shift in the way government programs are run in the future. House Minority Leader Gerald Ford surprised his critics from Conservatives in the party with the amount of effort he put in to make sure the President's Block Grant Plan Passed and it looks like it has paid off.


President Goldwater holds Press Conference with Prime Minister Trudeau at White House on Trade:


Media Member: Mr.President and Mr.Prime Minster what are the goals you would see in a trade agreement with Canada

Goldwater: Well the goal is to see all trade barriers between our nations dropped.

Trudeau: I also agree that is the goal but specifically some areas which are the highest priority rights now are the energy and auto sectors. Both sectors are very important to our economies so we agree that those are the areas which we need to accomplish the most in.

Media Member 2: What are some areas other than Tariffs you are looking to accomplish

Trudeau: One other goal is that we want to let the citizens of both our nations have the ability to work and attend university in both our nations. Now obviously that does not mean that we would open up citizenship to any person who comes across our borders to work as that is an issue which will solely be decided by the immigration laws of our nations.

Media Member 2: Mr.President many people say this agreement would hurt American Companies and cost jobs , what do you say to that

Goldwater: Well they are definitely wrong about that, because opening up our markets does not make our economy worse but better. Due to the increase in competition, it will result in the quality of the product getting better which leads to more demand which spurs our economy and creates more jobs.

Report: Can Texas go Republican in 1970



David Brinkley: With a Senate Seat and a Gubernatorial Seat up in Texas this year , Republicans believe this is the year they can finally turn Texas Republican. With us is the anchor from the NBC affiliate in Houston KPRC. So lets get right to it , Texas has gone Republican 3/5 past Presidential Elections, the President is popular there so is it possible it could result in Texas going Republican.

KPRC Anchor: Well there is certainly a chance the Republicans can win big in Texas this year but the problem is its one thing for a state to be Republican on the Presidential Level than the state one. Reason is simple, in a national election the candidates that run as a Democrats are mostly people who need to appeal to the National Democrats and the Texas dems are totally different. In Texas Dems are able to create a message which is tailor made for Texas while they cant nationally.

Brinkley: What are the some key to the races you have for a Republican to win

KPRC Anchor: First they have to win by landslide margins in the Dallas Metropolitan areas and win big in the Houston too. Then they must make inroads into the very heavily Democratic Rural Areas. Goldwater did it two years ago but this will still be hard

Brinkley: Which race do you think they have a better chance

KPRC Anchor: The Senate without a doubt. Congressman George Bush the Republican challenger is actually leading in a couple polls that have been done against Senator Ralph Yarborough, although he is down by more than 5 points against Congressman Llyod Betsen

[UWS]

My guess is of course Texas can go Republican in 1970 since it already went Republican in 1952 and 1956.

[OSR stands with Israel]

My guess is of course Texas can go Republican in 1970 since it already went Republican in 1952 and 1956.

Thats true but other than the Presidential Level, Texas hasnt voted for a Single Republican State Wide since Reconstruction(and OTL Bill Clements in 1978 was the first Republican to do so).

So there are lots of doubts that they can win statewide at another level but Presidential, though unlike the past when victory was assured for the Democrats this time the GOP is viewed to have a really good chance of winning the state

[Huey Long is a Republican]

You forget about me John Towers, who won the 1961 Special Election for LBJ's Seat in 1961 and won Re-election in 1966 on his own, so by the 70s, it was only a matter of time and candidate Choice for both Senate seats to turn Republican

yup thats true (Forgot about Tower lol) but its gonna be close so Goldwater will have to put alot of effort into GOP operations in flipping TX.

Goldwater to embark on a 15 day tour the nation to promote Block Grant Plan:



Brinkley: Earlier today President Goldwater kicked off his 15 day tour around the nation to promote his block grant plan. He will visit 20 states in this tour to promote the Block Grant plan and the states he plans to visit are:

In the North East: New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania
In the Midwest/Border States: Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois , Missouri , Iowa
In the South: Virginia , North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Texas
In the West: California, Colorado , Montana, Oregon and will end his tour in his home state of Arizona

While its obvious Republicans like Ronald Reagan, and John Tower would join him what surprising is in New York the person who will be joining him is Former NFL State and Senate Candidate Jack Kemp. Now the President said he wont be giving any endorsements in these rallies and has invited members from both parties to join him these rallies.


Goldwater's use of bully pulpit working as opposition to Block Grant Plan Begins to Wither:



Goldwater Approval:

Approve: 57%
Disapprove: 38%


Opinion of President's Block Grant Plan:

Before:

Approve: 39%
Disapprove: 40%
Dont Know: 21%

Now:

Approve: 44%
Disapprove: 37%
Dont Know: 19%


Brinkley: Whats striking to be about these polls is how large a number are undecided.

Huntley: Well what it tells me is people are willing to say that this block grant plan , along with the tax reform plan last year are new ideas with economists giving conflicting reports about them. So the people are saying well the fact is we dont know how it will work so since we elected the President to make change we should be willing to give him a chance on his policy proposals as well. That though will begin to change when voters go the polls during the midterms this year and by 1972 people will definitely being to judge whether his policies have worked or not because the results of his policies will start to come out.


Breaking News: Man Lands On Moon:




Brinkley: We have some major breaking news to report to you and that is Neil Armstrong and his Crew on Apollo 11 have landed on the Moon. Today is a historic day not only for our nation, but mankind as well . We now will go to the White House where the President will give his comments about today's historic events.

President Goldwater: 10 years of hard work has paid off as Neil Armstrong and the crew Apollo 11 have landed on the moon. Today is a historic day not only for our nation, but all of humanity in general because if we can go too the moon I am sure we can accomplish anything we put our minds towards.

Neil Armstrong and Apollo 11 Crew Return Home to a Hero's Welcome:

[OSR stands with Israel]

For some reason, I forgot to add in a part about the Moon Landing earlier in this TL when I covered the events of July 1969.

So the Official Date of the Moon Landing in this TL will be : March 27th 1970

Breaking News: Senate Approves Narrowly Approves Part of President's Block Grant Plan in New Budget. House Passes Senate version of new Budget as well, and President signs it



Brinkley: The President today signed the budget earlier today which makes some sweeping changes in how government programs are run.As a result of the new budget, 70 Federal Domestic Assistance Programs will be consolidated into 10 Block Grant Authorities, and while that is nowhere near the 135 Federal Domestic Assistance Programs the President wanted Consolidated into 5 Block Grant Authorities it will still result in sweeping changes on how government programs are run.

Huntley: To let our viewers know, what this means is 70 Programs which are run by the federal government will no longer be run by the federal government at least to the extent it is now, and instead the money will be sent directly to the states with provisions on how they can spend the money.

Brinkley: The President signed this, and said in his statement that today will mark the day where taxpayer money will be spent more efficiently.


DNC announces that National Convention Delegates will be selected by either Primaries or Caucuses in each and every state by 1976 :



Huntley: Earlier today the Democrats have announced that they will make a major change to their Nominating Process. They announced that by 1976 Delegates from all 50 states will be chosen by either a Primary or Caucus by 1976. These Delegates will make up 85% of all the Delegates at the convention and they will be bound to a candidate in the First Round of Balloting.

Brinkley: Are there any changes gonna be made in 1972

Huntley: Yes 1972 will be a transition cycle but even then delegates will be chosen by either a primary or caucus in 31 states in 1972 and they will make up around 62% of the total Delegates at the Convention and those delegates will also be bound in round one of balloting


Breaking News: Pro-US Forces in Cambodia overthrow Monarchy in a Coop



Brinkley: We have some Breaking News to report to you and that is Pro US forces in Cambodia have committed a Coop and overthrown their current Monarch who was viewed to be sympathetic to the North Vietnamese. Neither President Goldwater or Secretary of State Nixon have reacted to the news.

Texas Senate Primary Results: Congressman Lloyd Bentsen knocks off Incumbent Senator Ralph Yarborough in Democratic Senate Primary, and will face Republican Congressman George HW Bush in the November Elections.



Brinkley: In the Texas Senate Primary NBC News is able to project that Congressman Lloyd Bentsen will defeat Incumbent Senator Ralph Yarborough to become the Democratic Senate Nominee for this year's elections. He will face Republican Congressman George HW Bush and in a hypothetical poll leads 45% to 41%.

In the Gubernatorial Race we will have a rematch from 1968 where Governor Preston Smith will face the Republican Paul Eggers and currently leads in the polls by a 3 point margin of 45% to 42%.


Breaking News: 4 students at Kent State killed after Ohio National Guard Fires at them during a protest. 


Brinkley: We have breaking news to report to you and that is the Ohio National Guard has fired at students at Kent State and the shooting has tragically killed 4 unarmed students and injured 9 more. The reason this tragedy happened was after a major protest the mayor of Kent Declared a state of emergency and the Ohio Governor sent the national guard after urging from the Kent mayor and the tragedy happened .

Millions of Students Across the Nation Go on Strike  to protest Ken State Shooting:



Brinkley: As a result of the shooting at Kent State , millions of students earlier today went on strike to protest the shooting and the war. Protestors called for the resignation of the Kent Mayor ,the Ohio Governor , and also called for an end to the War in Vietnam .

President Goldwater announces that he will endorse Former Buffalo Bills Star Jack Kemp in New York Senate Race. Polls in Senate Race tighten due to President's Endorsement:



Huntley: The President officially announced in a statement, that he will be endorsing the Conservative Challenger and former Buffalo Bills Star Jack Kemp in the New York Republican Senate Primary next month. While Mr.Kemp received California Governor Ronald Reagan's endorsement a couple months ago this endorsement is the one he was looking for and has received.

Brinkley: As a result of this endorsement a new poll shows Senator Goodell now only up 2 points 44%-42% in next months primary . While Mr.Kemp has slowly been gaining in the polls, this endorsement will likely make this primary go down to the wire.

Huntley: And this will test how strong the Rockefeller Machine still is in NY primary politics because if Senator Goodell goes down it will pretty much show that Governor Rockefeller influence will have diminshed even in New York.  If the rumors of Secretary of State Nixon supporting Mr.Kemp turn out to be true and he also publically endorses Mr.Kemp , I would say Mr.Kemp would become the favorite in this race.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Secretary of State Nixon Officially Announces that he will vote for Jack Kemp in the Senate Primary 



Chancellor: Secretary of State Richard Nixon announced earlier today that he would support the Conservative Republican Challenger Jack Kemp in the GOP Primary for the Senate seat in New York and since he is registered to vote in the state of New York he will be voting for him as well.

This news is big is two polls what were released today now show Mr.Jack Kemp ahead in the polls , and this endorsement likely will help Mr.Kemp and hurt Senator Goodell. Oddsmakers for the first now have Mr.Kemp and not Senator Goodell as the favorite to be the Senate Nominee for the Republican in New York

California Primary: Congressman Jerome Waldie wins Democratic Nomination, to face Senator George Murphy in November Elections.



Lindsay: After Mr.Kemp defeated Senator Goodell last night , it became clear to me that Liberals are quickly losing the place in the Republican Party and there is nothing stopping it. Last Year the Republican Voters decided to kick me out of their party and this year they decided to the same with Senator Goodell and are making it clear they want Conservatives to run the party again. Now while they have all the right to do so , their vision and mine dont match up. Instead my vision matches up more to what the Democatic Party believes in and that is why I have decided to join the Democratic Party . Now I will still support Governor Rockefeller for reelection and Senator Javits as well when hes up but in this year Senate Race I will support the Democratic candidate .
