- Politically,
things had been more

00:02.769 --> 00:04.270 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
in the Republican's corner.

00:04.270 --> 00:06.673 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
You know, California had
had a Republican governor

00:06.673 --> 00:11.077 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and administration for eight
years, but then came Watergate.

00:11.077 --> 00:12.178 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
(upbeat music)

00:12.178 --> 00:15.048 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- It's after Watergate,
Nixon resigns.

00:15.048 --> 00:16.583 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Ford gives him a pardon.

00:16.583 --> 00:19.486 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So you have a lot of
skepticism about the integrity

00:19.486 --> 00:22.155 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
of government and
compounded, of course

00:22.155 --> 00:24.491 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
by the protracted Vietnam war

00:24.491 --> 00:27.060 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and the failure
and the frustration

00:27.060 --> 00:29.963 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and the divisions that
the Vietnam War created.

00:29.963 --> 00:32.632 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
So there had to be more modesty

00:32.632 --> 00:35.835 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I would even say humility
on the part of leadership

00:35.835 --> 00:40.807 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
because the currency of
leaders was very devalued.

00:42.008 --> 00:43.777 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- I started talking
to Jerry a little bit

00:43.777 --> 00:46.913 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
about thinking of running
for governor in '74

00:46.913 --> 00:51.217 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and he wasn't averse to the
idea, but he wasn't anxious.

00:53.286 --> 00:55.922 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
(upbeat music)
