1
00:00:01,034 --> 00:00:02,769
- Politically, 
things had been more

2
00:00:02,769 --> 00:00:04,270
in the Republican's corner.

3
00:00:04,270 --> 00:00:06,673
You know, California had 
had a Republican governor

4
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:11,077
and administration for eight 
years, but then came Watergate.

5
00:00:11,077 --> 00:00:12,178
(upbeat music)

6
00:00:12,178 --> 00:00:15,048
- It's after Watergate, 
Nixon resigns.

7
00:00:15,048 --> 00:00:16,583
Ford gives him a pardon.

8
00:00:16,583 --> 00:00:19,486
So you have a lot of 
skepticism about the integrity

9
00:00:19,486 --> 00:00:22,155
of government and 
compounded, of course

10
00:00:22,155 --> 00:00:24,491
by the protracted Vietnam war

11
00:00:24,491 --> 00:00:27,060
and the failure 
and the frustration

12
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:29,963
and the divisions that 
the Vietnam War created.

13
00:00:29,963 --> 00:00:32,632
So there had to be more modesty

14
00:00:32,632 --> 00:00:35,835
I would even say humility 
on the part of leadership

15
00:00:35,835 --> 00:00:40,807
because the currency of 
leaders was very devalued.

16
00:00:42,008 --> 00:00:43,777
- I started talking 
to Jerry a little bit

17
00:00:43,777 --> 00:00:46,913
about thinking of running 
for governor in '74

18
00:00:46,913 --> 00:00:51,217
and he wasn't averse to the 
idea, but he wasn't anxious.

19
00:00:53,286 --> 00:00:55,922
(upbeat music)
