1
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:19,180
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, coming
to you from the MGM Grand Hotel in the
2
00:00:19,180 --> 00:00:22,560
entertainment capital of the world, Las
Vegas, Nevada.
3
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,640
Ladies and gentlemen, from the beautiful
Siegfeld Room, tonight's star -studded
4
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,960
roast has brought together some of the
world's greatest entertainers.
5
00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:37,240
They've come from all over the world to
be here tonight, here in Las Vegas, in
6
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,240
person.
7
00:00:45,450 --> 00:00:50,470
Ladies and gentlemen, the Dean Martin
Comedy Hour presents a special one -hour
8
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:53,430
roast with tonight's guests, Gene
Kelley.
9
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:17,510
Dean Martin and tonight's very special
man of the week, Senator Hubert
10
00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:30,810
Tonight we salute the great Democrat
from the state of Minnesota, Senator
11
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:36,250
Humphrey, a man who has spent a lifetime
in politics with an unblemished record.
12
00:01:36,610 --> 00:01:41,130
He never took a bribe, never spied on
his opponents or committed any crime.
13
00:01:41,930 --> 00:01:44,490
which is why he's here tonight and not
in the White House.
14
00:01:48,590 --> 00:01:49,590
It's true.
15
00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:54,770
Hubert's never been involved in a
scandal. In 1968, when he was running
16
00:01:54,770 --> 00:01:59,850
presidency, the Republicans bugged
Humphrey's bedroom. When they played
17
00:01:59,850 --> 00:02:01,410
tapes, they fell asleep.
18
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,620
in his father's drugstore in Minnesota,
he would never sell anybody Tums because
19
00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:14,560
Tums spelled backwards is smut.
20
00:02:16,740 --> 00:02:22,660
Of course, from the minute Hubert was
born, he was destined for politics. The
21
00:02:22,660 --> 00:02:27,280
doctor picked him up, slapped him, and
Hubert said, I'm pleased as punch to be
22
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,280
here.
23
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,060
And he hasn't shown his mouth since.
24
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,140
In 1961, Hubert became the house whip.
25
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:37,860
But the police found out about the house
and closed it.
26
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:50,280
Every time Pat Henry comes on our show,
he does better and better. As a matter
27
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,940
of fact, the last time he was on the
show, the ushers only caught three
28
00:02:54,940 --> 00:02:55,940
sleeping.
29
00:02:57,340 --> 00:03:00,900
He's going to get it right this time. A
real great humorist, Mr. Pat Henry.
30
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:14,860
How's it going, Senator Humphrey, ladies
and gentlemen? I usually don't get on
31
00:03:14,860 --> 00:03:15,860
this late in the program.
32
00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:23,260
But, Senator, it's an honor to be on the
same days with you, because I just got
33
00:03:23,260 --> 00:03:27,420
back from Washington, and it's a
pleasure to talk into a microphone you
34
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,520
And, Senator, I thought you might like
to know that tonight, after the show,
35
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,200
your speech goes right into the paper
shredder anyhow.
36
00:03:38,990 --> 00:03:41,430
I happen to be one of Hubert Humphrey's
biggest fans.
37
00:03:41,650 --> 00:03:45,790
And I know he's a very dedicated man.
For 30 years in Washington, he's done
38
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:48,230
work of two men, Laurel and Hardy.
39
00:03:52,990 --> 00:03:57,490
And so it's true. He's always felt that
politics is a lot like sex.
40
00:03:58,150 --> 00:03:59,890
You don't have to be good at it to enjoy
it.
41
00:04:04,170 --> 00:04:08,570
around Washington, D .C. for over 30
years. He knows that politics has its
42
00:04:08,570 --> 00:04:09,469
and downs.
43
00:04:09,470 --> 00:04:13,170
Let's face it, one week you're on the
cover of Time, the next week you're
44
00:04:13,170 --> 00:04:14,170
it.
45
00:04:19,910 --> 00:04:23,390
And I've got a new question, folks. I
heard from the grapevine that, once
46
00:04:23,710 --> 00:04:25,910
Hubert Humphrey is preparing to run for
president.
47
00:04:26,470 --> 00:04:28,230
He's calling it Preparation H.
48
00:04:41,420 --> 00:04:45,320
Remember this, Senator. If you decide to
run, I'm betting on you providing
49
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,880
Willie Shoemaker rides you.
50
00:04:57,140 --> 00:05:01,220
I'll see you up in Las Vegas.
51
00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:07,260
I'll be opening at the MGM Grand Hotel
in Las Vegas on December 5th.
52
00:05:08,010 --> 00:05:11,710
It's brand new, and it's the most
beautiful hotel in the world.
53
00:05:12,030 --> 00:05:18,290
What I like about it is that it's got 31
bars, and they're all within staggering
54
00:05:18,290 --> 00:05:19,530
distance of each other.
55
00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:24,550
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Nipsey
Russell.
56
00:05:28,650 --> 00:05:35,470
If the world is seeking
57
00:05:35,470 --> 00:05:36,470
a leader,
58
00:05:36,819 --> 00:05:38,340
Wise, courageous, and true.
59
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:43,360
Remember, any man who can say he is boss
in his home will lie about other
60
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,360
things, too.
61
00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:51,780
I have no way to disparage our guest of
honor, Humpty.
62
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:08,650
formidable tribulations. Do you know
that his wife has not spoken to him in
63
00:06:08,650 --> 00:06:09,650
than a year?
64
00:06:09,850 --> 00:06:12,690
They're not angry, she just doesn't want
to interrupt him.
65
00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:21,210
We are not loath to concede that the man
is at times a bit verbose, but did you
66
00:06:21,210 --> 00:06:24,250
ever analyze the profundity of his
observations?
67
00:06:24,590 --> 00:06:28,770
I heard him speak. He said, we must not
dissipate our energies chasing
68
00:06:28,770 --> 00:06:31,990
happiness. He said, we must learn to
triumph.
69
00:06:32,510 --> 00:06:33,510
Over despair.
70
00:06:34,050 --> 00:06:36,010
I said, Senator, what is despair?
71
00:06:36,470 --> 00:06:39,990
He said, despair is seeing your lawyer
go to jail.
72
00:06:42,810 --> 00:06:48,170
He said, despair is seeing your karate
instructor get beat up by a hairdresser.
73
00:06:50,750 --> 00:06:54,470
He said, despair is having somebody
steal your watchdog.
74
00:06:56,530 --> 00:07:01,250
He said, despair is seeing your
psychiatrist coming out of a fortune
75
00:07:01,250 --> 00:07:02,250
tent.
76
00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:23,660
circumstances being a senator.
77
00:07:23,980 --> 00:07:28,800
I was talking about it to our new civic
leader. You've got to meet him. He's a
78
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,760
truly honest man held in the loftiest
esteem by everybody in the black
79
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,120
neighborhood. His name is Amos Carr.
80
00:07:35,740 --> 00:07:38,240
He deals in reconditioned plumbing
supplies.
81
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,760
to male chauvinism. He believes that
women are equal and that those who are
82
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,520
equal should wear a corrective bra.
83
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:15,120
So I say to you, Senator, don't let
failure defeat you. Don't bow your head
84
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,000
shame. If you can't succeed, be smart
enough to find somebody else to blame.
85
00:08:37,390 --> 00:08:42,770
Ladies and gentlemen, a true talent and
a great guy, Mr. Gene Kelly.
86
00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:56,110
It has been said that the Vice President
of the United States
87
00:08:56,110 --> 00:09:00,210
is nothing but a figurehead, a useless
and meaningless job.
88
00:09:00,780 --> 00:09:05,520
But I say that's not so. And to prove my
point, I went to Senator Humphrey's
89
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,460
lovely wife, Muriel, and I asked her
about the senator's activities when he
90
00:09:10,460 --> 00:09:12,400
vice president under Lyndon Johnson.
91
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,260
She even gave me her husband's personal
diary that he kept when he was VP.
92
00:09:17,580 --> 00:09:24,500
And I'm going to read a page, just a
page, just a little page out of that
93
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:29,640
describing a typical day in the life of
Vice President Humphrey.
94
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,860
Let's see, at 2 o 'clock, here we are. 6
.30 a .m., woke up and had breakfast
95
00:09:35,860 --> 00:09:36,860
with a little woman.
96
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,920
7 o 'clock, returned home to the wife.
97
00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:48,440
7 .30, collected my thoughts.
98
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,720
7 .31, took nap from mental strain.
99
00:09:53,420 --> 00:09:59,240
8 .15, arrived at the White House. 8
.20, showed I .D. to security guard.
100
00:10:08,490 --> 00:10:11,050
Spoke to Women's League of Voters
denouncing pornography.
101
00:10:11,650 --> 00:10:15,130
Three o 'clock, met with Ed Muskie at
the Pussycat Theater.
102
00:10:18,550 --> 00:10:24,170
At ten o 'clock, arrived home and turned
on the Dean Martin Comedy Hour, my
103
00:10:24,170 --> 00:10:25,250
favorite program.
104
00:10:26,010 --> 00:10:32,030
I admire Dean because he's the only man
in America who works less for his money
105
00:10:32,030 --> 00:10:33,030
than I do.
106
00:10:47,340 --> 00:10:50,820
Our next guest is one of the immortals
of baseball.
107
00:10:51,580 --> 00:10:57,720
His courtesy and gentleness in the
ballpark is a legend, like the one about
108
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,720
earth being flat.
109
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:05,040
Ladies and gentlemen, a great player and
a great manager, Mr. Leo DeRose.
110
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:13,680
Thank you, Dean.
111
00:11:14,670 --> 00:11:16,970
Well, Hubert Humphrey has always been a
good loser.
112
00:11:17,930 --> 00:11:22,430
In Hubie's case, it was really tough
being a good loser because the guy that
113
00:11:22,430 --> 00:11:24,770
turned out to be such a sore winner.
114
00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:29,070
But, Hubert, look at it this way.
115
00:11:29,470 --> 00:11:33,470
You finally ended up with a majority.
The world is full of losers.
116
00:11:33,870 --> 00:11:35,890
And not just in sports and politics.
117
00:11:36,430 --> 00:11:37,470
What is a loser?
118
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:43,190
A loser is a guy, if it was raining
soup, he'd be standing there with a
119
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,520
A loser is a guy who traded in a Zetzel
for a Corvair.
120
00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:57,540
A guy who goes to a massage parlor and
really ends up with a massage.
121
00:11:59,060 --> 00:12:05,880
A loser is a guy who opens a bar in
Watts and calls it Whitey's
122
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:06,880
Place.
123
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:15,860
A guy who goes to see Deep Throat and
gets a seat behind Will Chamberlain.
124
00:12:19,470 --> 00:12:24,350
whose doctor finds out that you've been
fooling around with his wife, just as
125
00:12:24,350 --> 00:12:25,950
he's about to give you a bisectomy.
126
00:12:30,610 --> 00:12:34,550
And these years, a married man who is
checking out of a motel with a secretary
127
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:39,110
and discovers the desk clerk is Alan
Fudd, and he's been on camera.
128
00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:48,170
A long time ago, I said that nice guys
finish last.
129
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,740
Well, listen, Hubie, if you ever decide
to run again, maybe I can give you some
130
00:12:53,740 --> 00:12:57,400
lessons on how to be a nasty winner from
Charlie Finley.
131
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,520
You know,
132
00:13:11,980 --> 00:13:14,560
Audrey looks a lot like her sister Jane
Meadows.
133
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,020
And many people have trouble telling
them apart. In fact, I understand Audrey
134
00:13:19,020 --> 00:13:23,020
has a tattoo on her chest that reads,
Stop, Steve. I'm Audrey.
135
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,240
Ladies and gentlemen, the lovely and
talented Audrey Meadows.
136
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:41,220
Thank you, darling.
137
00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:44,820
You know, I've always been a great
admirer of Senator Humphrey.
138
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,220
and I've really known him quite well
over the years, though I have not seen
139
00:13:49,220 --> 00:13:53,520
too much lately in Washington as I used
to since he changed his Senate office.
140
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:57,600
In fact, I understand that he moved his
desk into the washroom.
141
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,540
He claimed it was the only place where
the Senators knew what they were doing.
142
00:14:16,140 --> 00:14:18,700
had those kind of new and innovative
ideas.
143
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,500
And in as much as we're honoring him
tonight, I think it would be well to
144
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:27,060
a few of his outstanding legislative
contributions.
145
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,260
For instance, he was the first senator
to introduce a bill making the United
146
00:14:32,260 --> 00:14:36,600
States a member nation in the
International House of Pancakes.
147
00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:44,840
Anyway, in later years, when he was on
the farm, he heard himself lifting a
148
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:45,739
of hay.
149
00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:48,420
And he immediately came out for
agricultural support.
150
00:14:50,020 --> 00:14:55,620
And recently, after celebrating his 35th
wedding anniversary, his wife Muriel
151
00:14:55,620 --> 00:14:58,380
urged him to do something about the
energy crisis.
152
00:15:04,020 --> 00:15:08,760
I'd like to tell you sincerely how much
I really admire this man.
153
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,400
Hubert is really all heart.
154
00:15:12,060 --> 00:15:14,520
Well, maybe only 20 % heart.
155
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:16,660
I think the rest of it is hamburger
helper.
156
00:15:28,340 --> 00:15:32,820
The man who has gotten more mileage out
of his Twitter than Lana Turner, Mr.
157
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Mort Thaw.
158
00:15:45,730 --> 00:15:50,810
A week from tonight on NBC, there'll be
a special starring Senator Weicker.
159
00:15:53,010 --> 00:15:56,350
They're awards. They're called the most
corrupt administration in history
160
00:15:56,350 --> 00:16:03,010
awards. And the nominees are the
161
00:16:03,010 --> 00:16:05,850
Warren G. Harding administration and the
Nixon administration.
162
00:16:06,530 --> 00:16:08,310
May I have the envelope, please?
163
00:16:09,670 --> 00:16:10,790
What's in the envelope?
164
00:16:11,150 --> 00:16:12,450
$173 ,000.
165
00:16:15,370 --> 00:16:22,330
At any rate, Senator Humphrey, as I
recall, one of the important things is
166
00:16:22,330 --> 00:16:26,670
that you've maintained the consistency,
which I've always admired, of party
167
00:16:26,670 --> 00:16:29,970
unity. This goes all the way back to, as
you recall, a great sense of history,
168
00:16:30,070 --> 00:16:31,630
back to the Eisenhower administration.
169
00:16:31,970 --> 00:16:35,150
I remember when Hubert Humphrey was the
only man in the Senate who stood up and
170
00:16:35,150 --> 00:16:41,470
asked that integration be forcefully
brought about by General Eisenhower, who
171
00:16:41,470 --> 00:16:42,470
was then president.
172
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,840
going to Arkansas and taking a black
girl by the hand and leading her into
173
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,200
of the schools. General Eisenhower
called in Senator Humphrey and said,
174
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,060
a problem here of policy. I don't know
whether or not to use an overlapping
175
00:16:54,060 --> 00:16:55,840
grip. You may recall that.
176
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:02,780
At any rate, to return to my point, when
he worked for
177
00:17:02,780 --> 00:17:07,060
the late Lyndon Johnson, Senator
Humphrey, one of his jobs was to be
178
00:17:07,060 --> 00:17:07,819
the White House.
179
00:17:07,819 --> 00:17:11,980
You may recall he'd meet people at the
door and he'd say such things as,
180
00:17:12,730 --> 00:17:16,690
You know, appropriate things. It
certainly is a beautiful day, just as
181
00:17:16,690 --> 00:17:17,710
Johnson promised.
182
00:17:18,109 --> 00:17:19,109
You remember that?
183
00:17:20,230 --> 00:17:23,910
You know, Senator Humphrey has had some
differences with President Nixon.
184
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,910
Although, as I say, he's interested in
unity in both parties.
185
00:17:27,130 --> 00:17:31,350
And President Nixon, of course, Senator
Humphrey was interested when he ran for
186
00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:34,410
the presidency in our economy, which
we're still interested in.
187
00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:39,770
And he sent Richard Nixon a sign for his
desk, which reads, the half a buck
188
00:17:39,770 --> 00:17:40,770
stops here.
189
00:17:41,930 --> 00:17:44,990
At least that's what it was this
morning. It's about 44 cents as of now.
190
00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:46,770
We're bringing it up to date.
191
00:17:47,050 --> 00:17:50,690
And, of course, President Nixon stood on
his platform, which was to get the
192
00:17:50,690 --> 00:17:53,870
prisoners out. That was the big thing.
And, as you know, he got two out, Jimmy
193
00:17:53,870 --> 00:17:55,610
Hoffa and Bobby Baker.
194
00:18:02,210 --> 00:18:04,250
I wore a bracelet for Hoffa.
195
00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:10,350
A lot of Dean thought I had our.
196
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,520
Senator Humphrey in Washington in his
office when he was vice president. And
197
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,200
said to me, I asked him about Richard
Nixon. I said, what's he really like? I
198
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,600
mean, is it true? The rumors we've
heard. He said, well, what have you
199
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,480
I said, well, I understood he was born
in Whittier, California, 60 years ago in
200
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,140
a log cabin, in a blue suit.
201
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,640
It was considered a medical miracle 60
years ago.
202
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,140
And he said, no, it's not so realistic,
Senator Humphrey said.
203
00:18:43,159 --> 00:18:47,200
Richard Nixon is the kind of man, in his
words, who, if you were drowning 20
204
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,520
feet from shore, would throw you a 15
-foot rope.
205
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,500
And then Henry Kissinger would go on the
three networks and point out that
206
00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:58,260
Richard Nixon had met you more than
halfway.
207
00:19:18,830 --> 00:19:21,190
What? You really think I read those
cards?
208
00:19:22,770 --> 00:19:27,070
Yes, I memorize all that. I don't read
them. This is all memorized. Our next
209
00:19:27,070 --> 00:19:33,850
guest is one of the stars of Mary Tyler
Moore's show.
210
00:19:33,930 --> 00:19:35,230
See, I don't look at the cards at all.
211
00:19:35,890 --> 00:19:42,250
We invited Ted here because he is a
politically activist and a humanitarian.
212
00:19:42,510 --> 00:19:44,130
I don't know those cards.
213
00:19:50,850 --> 00:19:55,550
Only last night he spoke at a dinner
where they raised money to buy a
214
00:19:55,550 --> 00:19:57,310
for the city of Beverly Hills.
215
00:19:58,770 --> 00:20:02,170
Ladies and gentlemen, a most talented
man, Mr. Ted Knight.
216
00:20:14,670 --> 00:20:15,970
Thank you, Mr. Martin.
217
00:20:21,310 --> 00:20:24,810
You know, in my business, I'm often
called upon to speak about someone or
218
00:20:24,810 --> 00:20:26,690
something I know nothing about.
219
00:20:28,250 --> 00:20:30,130
And that happens to be the case tonight.
220
00:20:31,870 --> 00:20:34,930
Tell you the truth, though, I'm a little
surprised to see Hubert Humphrey here.
221
00:20:35,410 --> 00:20:37,210
They told me it was going to be somebody
important.
222
00:20:39,930 --> 00:20:42,710
Just shows you how they cross wires,
don't you?
223
00:20:44,929 --> 00:20:48,110
Last time I appeared, what I thought was
going to be a testimonial for a
224
00:20:48,110 --> 00:20:50,770
politician, it turned out to be a
telethon for irregularity.
225
00:20:52,610 --> 00:20:55,530
However, it doesn't always work out that
way.
226
00:20:57,710 --> 00:21:02,610
To deal with this, I've written a speech
that I can deliver anywhere, anytime,
227
00:21:02,790 --> 00:21:04,090
to any group.
228
00:21:04,470 --> 00:21:09,130
It's so general, it almost sounds as
though I know what I'm talking about.
229
00:21:21,439 --> 00:21:23,100
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
230
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,160
Or vice versa, as the case may be.
231
00:21:28,340 --> 00:21:32,280
In lieu of the regular speaker who was
unable to be with you due to not being
232
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,860
here, I'd like to say a few words before
I go any further.
233
00:21:37,940 --> 00:21:41,300
Those of you who are here tonight will
remember how well the last occasion went
234
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:46,000
over. I wasn't here myself, so I don't
remember, but I understand that a lot of
235
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,660
you weren't here tonight, were there
that night, and remember, and vice
236
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,840
You were extremely fortunate, I might
add, in your choice of an honored guest.
237
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:04,020
I know of no other man or woman who
could fill his seat the way he does, or
238
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:05,560
does, or vice versa.
239
00:22:07,780 --> 00:22:10,820
I'm referring, of course, to his
considerable background.
240
00:22:12,590 --> 00:22:18,550
Now, if there was a person with a big
foundation for whatever it is he does,
241
00:22:18,550 --> 00:22:19,550
asked.
242
00:22:20,350 --> 00:22:23,570
But he wasn't always content to sit upon
his aspirations.
243
00:22:27,150 --> 00:22:31,430
The person you are honoring is more than
just a simple cog, believe me.
244
00:22:31,850 --> 00:22:37,150
He is the gear that drives the machine,
the big nut behind the wheel.
245
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,080
but that would be too easy.
246
00:22:44,820 --> 00:22:48,000
I could tell you about his future, but
that would be too difficult.
247
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:52,700
However, I don't want to bore you
tonight. That's his job.
248
00:22:56,360 --> 00:23:00,180
Thank you for inviting me. Good night or
good afternoon, as the case may be.
249
00:23:13,770 --> 00:23:16,490
I tried to follow what he said, but I
don't know what he said.
250
00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:21,250
I know, he did, yeah.
251
00:23:25,650 --> 00:23:32,390
Here to pay his respects to Senator
Humphrey is a young man whose analysis
252
00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:35,330
of the political scene is truly
hilarious.
253
00:23:35,850 --> 00:23:40,890
For those of you who are not subscribers
to the Washington Post, Here's a fellow
254
00:23:40,890 --> 00:23:44,650
who'll bring you up to date on
Washington Today. Ladies and gentlemen,
255
00:23:44,650 --> 00:23:49,290
Shoreham Hotel in Washington, where he
entertains nightly Mr. Mark Russell.
256
00:23:59,070 --> 00:24:02,790
Thank you, Dean. It's a privilege to be
here in honor of the distinguished
257
00:24:02,790 --> 00:24:03,790
senator.
258
00:24:04,170 --> 00:24:09,130
I believe the real Hubert Humphrey is
best illustrated by an incident which
259
00:24:09,130 --> 00:24:11,350
place during the 1968 campaign.
260
00:24:12,610 --> 00:24:18,070
It was during a speech and an angry
spectator threw a tomato at him while he
261
00:24:18,070 --> 00:24:19,070
speaking.
262
00:24:19,310 --> 00:24:25,510
Well, as the tomato struck him, Hubert,
the old pro, didn't bat an eye.
263
00:24:25,730 --> 00:24:28,990
He merely ad -libbed, speaking of
agriculture.
264
00:24:38,350 --> 00:24:44,050
Yes, Hubert Humphrey, symbol of the
politics of joy. Yes, HHH, that's ho,
265
00:24:44,050 --> 00:24:45,050
ho.
266
00:24:47,390 --> 00:24:51,730
From the very beginning, our hero was at
the forefront of the civil rights
267
00:24:51,730 --> 00:24:57,550
movement. His was the first drugstore in
Huron, South Dakota to sell Uncle Ben's
268
00:24:57,550 --> 00:24:58,550
rice.
269
00:25:00,250 --> 00:25:05,030
Mr. Humphrey's talents as a pharmacist
were put to good use as vice president.
270
00:25:05,630 --> 00:25:10,890
When Lyndon Johnson turned to him one
day and said, Hubert, make me a malted.
271
00:25:14,210 --> 00:25:17,410
He received a great deal of publicity in
1959.
272
00:25:18,410 --> 00:25:22,730
You may recall when he had an eight
-hour conversation in the Kremlin with
273
00:25:22,730 --> 00:25:23,730
Nikita Khrushchev.
274
00:25:24,450 --> 00:25:27,990
Khrushchev asked Hubert how he was, and
he never got in another word.
275
00:25:36,490 --> 00:25:42,870
Unaffectionately as the mouth that
roars, Hubert Humphrey visited Rome on
276
00:25:42,870 --> 00:25:49,330
occasion and spoke at the Vatican for
three hours to a statue of Pope Pius.
277
00:25:51,290 --> 00:25:56,490
All was the optimist. He was not
depressed in 68 when he lost the White
278
00:25:56,590 --> 00:26:02,150
nor was he depressed when he lost the
vice presidency, but he was depressed
279
00:26:02,150 --> 00:26:04,030
he lost Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis.
280
00:26:11,470 --> 00:26:16,470
I know we're all familiar how Senator
Humphrey was the target of some of the
281
00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:18,270
Watergate dirty tricks activity.
282
00:26:19,130 --> 00:26:25,990
There was an alleged attempt to make him
appear guilty of engaging in illicit
283
00:26:25,990 --> 00:26:26,990
sex.
284
00:26:28,010 --> 00:26:29,350
Are they kidding?
285
00:26:33,730 --> 00:26:36,430
You were to talk all through it, for
heaven's sake.
286
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,080
about it. He said, that would be liable.
Mrs. Humphrey said, that'd be a
287
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,080
miracle.
288
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:12,080
Now I'd like to introduce one of the
most brilliant impressionists in the
289
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,420
business. Ladies and gentlemen, Here's
the man of a thousand voices, Mr.
290
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,680
Rich Little.
291
00:27:29,460 --> 00:27:30,460
Thank you, Dean.
292
00:27:33,180 --> 00:27:40,160
My fellow Americans, I'm just as punched
as pleased to be here tonight.
293
00:27:42,350 --> 00:27:45,450
saying to my wife Muriel just the other
day, I said, Muriel, and she said,
294
00:27:45,550 --> 00:27:46,550
that's right.
295
00:27:49,410 --> 00:27:52,270
And I knew it was her because I never
forget a piece.
296
00:27:56,010 --> 00:27:57,290
I just made that up.
297
00:27:58,370 --> 00:27:59,730
Is he laughing? Take a look.
298
00:28:01,070 --> 00:28:05,330
But you know, my fellow Americans, I've
been doing a number of things since I
299
00:28:05,330 --> 00:28:07,430
ran for president of the United States.
300
00:28:07,870 --> 00:28:11,630
I've been touring all across this great
country making speeches.
301
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:18,420
Because, my fellow Americans, I see a
country where there is no poverty, no
302
00:28:18,420 --> 00:28:24,160
bigotry, no unemployment. I see a
country where there is clean air and
303
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,320
water. I see Switzerland.
304
00:28:35,300 --> 00:28:37,840
But, you know...
305
00:28:40,650 --> 00:28:45,050
I was asked just the other day if I
would pose in the centerfold of Playgirl
306
00:28:45,050 --> 00:28:46,050
magazine.
307
00:28:46,490 --> 00:28:47,490
That's true.
308
00:28:47,650 --> 00:28:51,910
I was quite honored at first, and then
after thinking it over, I declined it
309
00:28:51,910 --> 00:28:54,890
because I felt that enough government
secrets had already been exposed.
310
00:29:03,340 --> 00:29:08,140
But you know, my fellow Americans, in
closing, as well as being a United
311
00:29:08,140 --> 00:29:12,960
senator, I have a wonderful new job now,
and I'm very pleased about it.
312
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,220
I'm working for the cartoon division of
Warner Brothers.
313
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,180
It's a very simple job that I have. All
I do at the end of the cartoon is come
314
00:29:21,180 --> 00:29:24,320
out and say, that's awful.
315
00:29:36,650 --> 00:29:41,190
A great man has a book written about
him, and Hubert Humphrey is no
316
00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:46,590
Tonight, we've invited his biographer to
fill us in on some little -known facts
317
00:29:46,590 --> 00:29:50,570
about the senator that you'll be reading
when the book is finally published.
318
00:29:50,630 --> 00:29:55,950
Ladies and gentlemen, here's the author
of tomorrow's bestseller, HHH, Mr.
319
00:29:56,090 --> 00:29:57,090
Donald Rice.
320
00:30:05,710 --> 00:30:06,710
Thank you, Mr. Martin.
321
00:30:07,690 --> 00:30:11,850
I'm here tonight because I'm writing a
book on the life of Senator Hubert
322
00:30:11,850 --> 00:30:17,610
Humphrey, a man who's been in politics
for over 30 years and never been caught
323
00:30:17,610 --> 00:30:18,610
at it.
324
00:30:21,870 --> 00:30:26,830
In my research, I found out some facts
about the senator that may astound you.
325
00:30:27,590 --> 00:30:31,290
Did you know that before he was a
registered Democrat, that he was a
326
00:30:31,290 --> 00:30:32,290
pharmacist?
327
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,200
That was back in the days when the
miracle drug was Mercuricone.
328
00:30:43,860 --> 00:30:48,880
I haven't put the book together yet, but
here are some interesting comments he
329
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,780
makes about his days, his career behind
the drug counter.
330
00:30:53,420 --> 00:30:57,160
As a young pharmacist, I've made a few
mistakes, like giving the morning
331
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,200
sickness bill to old Mr. Turner.
332
00:31:01,930 --> 00:31:05,950
And I had a hard time explaining to Mrs.
Watson why she was taking male hormone.
333
00:31:08,750 --> 00:31:14,170
The last time I saw Mrs. Watson, she was
in the church choir, singing bass.
334
00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:23,530
And here he talks about entering
politics. He says, leaving the drugstore
335
00:31:23,530 --> 00:31:25,810
years later, I became the mayor of
Minneapolis.
336
00:31:26,950 --> 00:31:30,690
It was after this election that I made
the biggest decision of my life.
337
00:31:31,050 --> 00:31:32,450
I became a registered voter.
338
00:31:36,810 --> 00:31:41,430
Later, I decided to retire from
politics, and I became vice president.
339
00:31:45,730 --> 00:31:50,810
In the book, I think you'll love his
comments on the Senate hearings. He
340
00:31:50,810 --> 00:31:52,670
to them as a Sam Irving quiz show.
341
00:31:53,930 --> 00:31:58,370
When the contestants, quote, when the
contestants give the right answer, they
342
00:31:58,370 --> 00:31:59,370
lose.
343
00:32:04,270 --> 00:32:06,410
He says, the whole thing is so
ridiculous.
344
00:32:06,910 --> 00:32:10,810
The Republicans bugging the Democratic
headquarters. That's like General Motors
345
00:32:10,810 --> 00:32:13,670
breaking into Ford to get the Edsel
secrets.
346
00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:27,210
Senator, I just heard a rumor that the
Democrats once tried to bug the
347
00:32:27,210 --> 00:32:28,210
Republican headquarters.
348
00:32:28,770 --> 00:32:31,630
And somebody stepped on the paper cup
and broke their strings.
349
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,660
There's a lot of your friends and
admirers who couldn't be here tonight,
350
00:32:47,660 --> 00:32:51,280
they've sent telegrams, and I'd like to
read them to you now. The first one
351
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:57,260
reads, Dear Senator Humphrey, more than
anyone else, I regret your losing the
352
00:32:57,260 --> 00:32:58,500
1968 election.
353
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,200
You can't imagine how I wish it was you
who was in the White House signed
354
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,860
Richard Nixon.
355
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:15,080
There's one from the American Society of
Interior Decorators. Dear Senator, we
356
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,580
hope you'll be elected to the White
House in 1976 with your belief in the
357
00:33:19,580 --> 00:33:20,660
politics of joy.
358
00:33:21,460 --> 00:33:27,620
You always seem so happy, and that's
what this country needs, a gay
359
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,460
Well, that, uh, this union is the most
distinguished Republican from
360
00:33:35,460 --> 00:33:36,560
Connecticut.
361
00:33:37,310 --> 00:33:42,190
Senator Lowell Weicker, he's quite a
guy. Every time a taxpayer in
362
00:33:42,190 --> 00:33:43,730
is in trouble, they call him.
363
00:33:44,150 --> 00:33:48,550
And the senator is finally doing
something about it. He's getting an
364
00:33:48,550 --> 00:33:49,550
phone.
365
00:33:51,150 --> 00:33:55,550
With the greatest respect and
admiration, here he is, Senator Lowell
366
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,660
Now I'm turning the volume up on the
flyer, please.
367
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:14,199
Now,
368
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,920
Dean, I want to thank you.
369
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,000
I want to say that when you asked me to
your show, I turned to Hubert Humphrey,
370
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,980
and I asked him whether it would be a
good thing for our reputations to appear
371
00:34:27,980 --> 00:34:28,980
on the Dean Martin Show.
372
00:34:34,279 --> 00:34:37,580
Hubert turned to me and said, Lowell,
given what most of the voters think of
373
00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:39,600
these days, we're lucky Dean will appear
with us.
374
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,860
Now, we're all rugged individualists on
this dais.
375
00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:48,639
Hubert once coined a phrase when he said
he was his own man.
376
00:34:49,540 --> 00:34:52,699
And I try to be my own man, and Dean
Martin, of course, is his own drunk.
377
00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:02,720
You know, paying tribute to Hubert
Humphrey is a lot like sticking clothes
378
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:03,720
an old hand.
379
00:35:04,230 --> 00:35:07,810
People ask, what keeps an intelligent
man in politics for so many years?
380
00:35:08,450 --> 00:35:10,270
Well, I know what kept Hubert
interested.
381
00:35:10,950 --> 00:35:14,930
Some of the babies he first kissed 20
years ago are beginning to shape up.
382
00:35:23,490 --> 00:35:27,210
And yes, his next pharmacist, Hubert,
would be the first to admit that through
383
00:35:27,210 --> 00:35:31,550
the miracle of modern medicine, he still
kisses pretty young girls.
384
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,900
And through the miracle of modern
psychiatry, he means to find out why.
385
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:45,940
For as Hubert confided to me, when you
get to his age, your memory is the
386
00:35:45,940 --> 00:35:46,940
thing to go.
387
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:01,080
Forgive me, Muriel, I didn't write that
thing.
388
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,820
He's one of the few men in political
life whose hair gets darker the older he
389
00:36:06,820 --> 00:36:09,940
gets. His opponents spread the word he
was tinning his hair.
390
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,420
And now I know what they mean when they
say that Hubert Humphrey is dying to get
391
00:36:14,420 --> 00:36:15,420
into the White House.
392
00:36:17,860 --> 00:36:21,780
But optimism is a Humphrey trademark.
Someone wants to find an optimist as a
393
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:25,340
little old lady who starts to put her
shoes on when Hubert Humphrey says, and
394
00:36:25,340 --> 00:36:26,340
conclusion...
395
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,100
And I must say that it's true, Hubert is
to public speaking what termites are to
396
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:34,100
an old barn.
397
00:36:39,660 --> 00:36:45,060
Now this next one comes strictly from
me, Hubert, with all the wiretapping and
398
00:36:45,060 --> 00:36:46,600
bugging that goes on today.
399
00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:51,340
I think you're one of the few important
national figures who seems to be immune.
400
00:36:53,380 --> 00:36:58,300
I mean, who's going to pay for the
amount of tape that would require to
401
00:36:58,300 --> 00:36:59,300
one of your conversations?
402
00:37:10,030 --> 00:37:13,130
What I really like about Hubert is the
tremendous interest he takes in people.
403
00:37:13,130 --> 00:37:15,170
saw it just this afternoon as we were at
the airport.
404
00:37:16,230 --> 00:37:21,770
Coming out here, he spent two hours
talking, two hours talking to just one
405
00:37:21,770 --> 00:37:22,770
little old man.
406
00:37:23,130 --> 00:37:25,770
And all the guy did was to ask him,
where's the men's room?
407
00:37:29,570 --> 00:37:32,510
Hubert had to respond by saying, well,
now there are two sides to that
408
00:37:38,250 --> 00:37:41,190
There are 535 members of the Congress.
409
00:37:42,450 --> 00:37:43,630
And they're not all perfect.
410
00:37:44,190 --> 00:37:45,990
Some are dynamic leaders.
411
00:37:47,350 --> 00:37:48,450
Some are rather mediocre.
412
00:37:48,990 --> 00:37:51,350
Some, quite frankly, don't measure up to
the job at all.
413
00:37:52,710 --> 00:37:59,010
But let me tell you that Hubert is,
well, he's in there somewhere.
414
00:38:21,970 --> 00:38:27,990
Oh, he's a big guy. He's about 6 '12".
Thank you, Senator.
415
00:38:28,210 --> 00:38:33,390
And now, Senator Humphrey, we're very
pleased to have with us the man who
416
00:38:33,390 --> 00:38:40,310
managed your campaign for presidency in
1968, your close friend and political
417
00:38:40,310 --> 00:38:42,570
advisor, Mr. Foster Brooke.
418
00:39:20,290 --> 00:39:27,270
I just... I still can't figure out
how... I can't figure
419
00:39:27,270 --> 00:39:28,750
out how the heck we lost.
420
00:39:38,830 --> 00:39:43,210
The only way I can figure it out, it
must have been simply bad timing.
421
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,400
You just happened to be running for
president the same day Nixon was.
422
00:40:01,580 --> 00:40:05,620
One day, either way, you would have been
a shoe.
423
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:14,780
Then instead of tricky -dicky, we'd
have... You'll be the boo -boo.
424
00:40:17,660 --> 00:40:18,180
You'll be
425
00:40:18,180 --> 00:40:26,720
the
426
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:27,720
boo -boo.
427
00:40:29,660 --> 00:40:30,840
You'll be the boo -boo.
428
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:45,940
had voted for him, had
429
00:40:45,940 --> 00:40:52,400
voted for him,
430
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,860
for the senator,
431
00:40:57,180 --> 00:41:01,080
we would have won. That's all.
432
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,620
One half, one half a person.
433
00:41:05,300 --> 00:41:09,820
And if he voted for Nixon, you can guess
which half the person it was.
434
00:41:25,250 --> 00:41:25,850
I happen
435
00:41:25,850 --> 00:41:32,810
to
436
00:41:32,810 --> 00:41:36,730
be one of the center's closest friends.
437
00:41:37,990 --> 00:41:42,170
Whom do you think drank all the punch
that Hubert says, please, says?
438
00:41:48,870 --> 00:41:50,290
My friends, I thought...
439
00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:53,730
Everything he knows about politics.
440
00:41:57,610 --> 00:42:02,170
Before I got a hold of him, he thought
Henry Cabot Lodge was a motel.
441
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:33,020
Let me assure you that Hubert Humphrey
would have made a wonderful president
442
00:42:33,020 --> 00:42:35,780
just as he made a wonderful vice
president.
443
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:45,260
And did you know that he was the most
active vice president we ever had?
444
00:42:45,900 --> 00:42:51,760
He used to get up at six o 'clock every
morning so he could run to home and
445
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,460
collect his unemployment and so on.
446
00:42:57,550 --> 00:43:01,330
generous and compassionate man.
447
00:43:01,770 --> 00:43:07,770
When he heard that that watch was
burning, he sent the inhabitants a whole
448
00:43:07,770 --> 00:43:09,110
truckload of marshmallows.
449
00:43:19,330 --> 00:43:25,810
And unlike other politicians, you never
hear any stories about Humphrey and
450
00:43:25,810 --> 00:43:26,810
Broad.
451
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,780
Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's a real
pleasure for me to present our
452
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:20,520
distinguished man of the week, one of
the truly great figures on the American
453
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,700
political scene, the Honorable Senator
from the state of Minnesota, Senator
454
00:44:24,700 --> 00:44:25,960
Hubert Humphrey.
455
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,540
Thank you, Dean. First of all, I want to
confess something tonight.
456
00:44:52,860 --> 00:44:59,240
For all these years, since 1968, I've
been trying to fashion some kind of a
457
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:02,920
rationale as to why we lost the
election, other than the fact we didn't
458
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:03,920
enough votes.
459
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,900
Tonight, I found out, and I want to tell
you, I enjoyed losing it, and I want to
460
00:45:08,900 --> 00:45:09,900
thank you.
461
00:45:17,610 --> 00:45:19,870
In fact, you would have made a fine
campaign manager.
462
00:45:23,390 --> 00:45:27,970
When Dean Martin invited me, I readily
accepted.
463
00:45:28,670 --> 00:45:33,510
I wanted to find out the difference
between Dean Martin and whiskey.
464
00:45:34,530 --> 00:45:36,250
And I just found out.
465
00:45:36,830 --> 00:45:38,350
Whiskey improves with age.
466
00:45:59,290 --> 00:46:04,650
I'm going to let you in on a secret. For
a long time, I've admired the ability
467
00:46:04,650 --> 00:46:09,710
that Dean Martin has and has
demonstrated by surrounding himself with
468
00:46:09,710 --> 00:46:10,710
women.
469
00:46:11,350 --> 00:46:16,270
He undoubtedly could be called the Henry
Kissinger of television, if you know
470
00:46:16,270 --> 00:46:17,270
what I mean.
471
00:46:19,820 --> 00:46:23,780
And I want to thank all the rest of you
here, all of you here in the dais
472
00:46:23,780 --> 00:46:27,180
tonight, for making me feel at home
tonight.
473
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,620
In fact, I only wish I'd stayed there
after what I heard.
474
00:46:32,900 --> 00:46:38,780
We Democrats always like to come out to
California. It's a state that has long
475
00:46:38,780 --> 00:46:40,800
been one of our primary concerns.
476
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:44,880
So to speak.
477
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,680
Now take Sam Clemente.
478
00:46:49,900 --> 00:46:51,480
In fact, that's what they did.
479
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:04,780
Seriously, I don't think that any public
office holder has ever been so honored
480
00:47:04,780 --> 00:47:06,000
as I have this evening.
481
00:47:06,260 --> 00:47:10,720
That is, since the time the Roman Senate
threw a surprise party for Julius
482
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:11,720
Caesar.
483
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:17,620
That was back there when Brutus was in
charge of the dirty tricks department,
484
00:47:17,620 --> 00:47:18,620
you recall.
485
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:25,500
Just getting your most impressive
invitation, Dean, was most exciting to
486
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:30,960
It was, I'll let you in on it, what it
was like. It was gilt -edged, and it had
487
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:36,780
engraving on it, and it said, You have
been chosen for this tribute because you
488
00:47:36,780 --> 00:47:43,060
are a person of singular achievement,
unique ability, and exceptional
489
00:47:43,980 --> 00:47:46,280
And it was addressed, occupant.
490
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,660
I want you to know that I don't really
harbor any resentment or towards any of
491
00:48:02,660 --> 00:48:08,000
the people here on the dais because you
were merely vicious and tricky and
492
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,000
vindictive.
493
00:48:09,420 --> 00:48:13,600
As our president would say, you were
only being overzealous.
494
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,100
You were nice to include my good friend
of the Senate, Senator Lowell Weicker.
495
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,720
And I'll tell you why. Because he's had
so little exposure, as you know, on
496
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:25,720
television.
497
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:32,960
By the way, the things he was saying
here tonight are obviously fictitious.
498
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:38,520
reason to believe him at all. All this
business about my long talk is only
499
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,000
on fact. I don't know why this fellow is
trying to peddle this stuff.
500
00:48:42,660 --> 00:48:46,880
Senator Weicker, we all know, is a
member of the Watergate Committee.
501
00:48:47,580 --> 00:48:52,120
And that's a committee, I might add,
that has uncovered more phonies than a
502
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,240
nudist camp in Hollywood.
503
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,740
Personally, I want to keep this.
504
00:48:58,190 --> 00:49:01,530
often politics. I don't want it to be a
partisan occasion in any way.
505
00:49:01,850 --> 00:49:04,510
I trust Republicans, and I really do.
506
00:49:05,170 --> 00:49:11,230
Back in 1972, they said, for example,
that if I voted Democratic, inflation
507
00:49:11,230 --> 00:49:16,150
would run rampant, the dollar would lose
its value, and our economy would be in
508
00:49:16,150 --> 00:49:20,170
chaos. And I voted Democratic, and they
were absolutely right.
509
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:37,340
Just last night, I was at a $100 -a
-plate dinner here in Los Angeles, and
510
00:49:37,340 --> 00:49:40,700
wasn't even a political function. As a
matter of fact, it just tells you what
511
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:41,840
costs to eat out these days.
512
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,780
Yes, when President Nixon said that he
was going to make everything perfectly
513
00:49:48,780 --> 00:49:52,560
clear, we didn't know that he meant the
supermarket shelves, did we?
514
00:49:54,440 --> 00:50:00,330
So, in appreciation of this sumptuous
repast, Mr. Martin, And in eternal
515
00:50:00,330 --> 00:50:07,190
gratitude for having Hubert Humphrey to
kick around some more, I want to leave
516
00:50:07,190 --> 00:50:08,930
you with three words.
517
00:50:10,250 --> 00:50:11,670
Separate checks, please.
518
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:29,940
Hubert Humphrey makes speeches, he just
gets up and talks and talks until he
519
00:50:29,940 --> 00:50:31,240
thinks he's got something to say.
520
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:36,120
Now, everybody, on the way home,
Captain, now you warm up the hot
