Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Taped on June 9, 1966Under Arizona law, Mr. Goldwater had had to give up his Senate seat to run for the presidency, and so at the moment he was a private citizen--though still, even after his disastrous defeat, the acknowledged leader of the conservative wing of the Republican Party. This rich conversation ranges from the specific and immediate (Medicare, the prospects for the 1968 election) to the general (Has too much power accrued to the Presidency? How can it be curbed?). Goldwater: "I think the country has become pretty much a two-term country. So I think it's pretty much up to the president. If he decides to run again, the chances of the Republicans beating him are not excellent. However, if he keeps on with his lack of success in Vietnam, the downfall of NATO, . . . the growing cost of living in our country, the chances get better. But we don't like to win on those kinds of chances." Summary by Firing Line staff.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wilson?!, December 2, 2008
By Dr. Filthy McNasty (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
In one sense, any Firing Line interview from the 1960's is worth owning as history if nothing else. If I recall correctly, this aired after the 1966 election and they discussed nearly the exact same stuff Republicans are discussing today following the 2008 election. It's interesting to hear how little has changed.

I was rather floored, however, to hear Goldwater speak fondly of Woodrow Wilson. Was this is a function of the time and a yearning for authoritarian rule? Or is there something I really don't understand about Goldwater? Buckley doesn't explore this point, but I was surprised to hear it.

In the end, I enjoyed the program and I'm glad I bought it however there isn't much here that'll likely lead me to watch it a second time. Interesting, but not riveting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Last Conscious Conservative, March 28, 2009
By Pit O'Maley "coerf agile" (Alameda, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This discussion between two congenial conservative doctrinaires contrasts sharply with today's "Meet the Press" gatherings, which feature Republican busybodies who cannot demonstrate the difference between themselves and used-car salesmen. Foreshadowing the medicare rigging by conscience-less idealogues from both parties in the 1980's that emburdened the middle class, Mr Goldwater comes off less the "extremist" the Mad.Avenue sharpies demonized than the patriarch of the conservative movement, rational and open-minded. In this exchange of views, Mr. Goldwater shrewdly predicts the 1968 choices and the rise of Reagan. Here they also predict such things as the concentration of the Executive powers and the nettlesome problem of civil rights legislation and the gathering media empires. If you pick up on the nightmare briefly touched upon, a president with extreme aims and political tone-deafness, you may think Goldwater had seen the looming Bush empire, that felt the concentration of Executive power and stolen votes confirm a mandate.Those were different times in 1966. That was when the U.S. took leadership seriously, politically and morally. But back then the politicians and the talk show hosts were interesting, probing and less chameleon-like with the camera running. It is no wonder today that most politicians seem as bland as soup cans. I am sure Mr. Rove took notes from this program, and with a dose of Orwell, ran to the Republican camp; for if you enumerate the topics touched upon, it will seem like the game plan for the next 20 years.
