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.

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.
