Hi. See, you got a little hat. Mother would have loved it. While we're on the subject of mothers, i'd better warn you up front. I'm not going to be like other mothers. But i promise i'll never make you wait until [laughs] until after the cake to open your birthday presents. [music playing] we were all together, making this show, which was the birth of this child. We made it funny. We made it emotional. And we all felt like, gosh, we did a good job with that. A lot of people in america were watching this and moved to tears. And then literally the next day, our world changed. It doesn't help matters when prime time tv has murphy brown mocking the importance of fathers. Bonding? i can't tell. I probably shouldn't have said that dam mistake number one. And now i just swore so that's 20 god who are you well, it certainly throws me back to the set holding that little baby. And we were in thrall to this baby cannot watch the thing to this day that either i cannot yeah. Yeah. Well, what's more powerful than having a child? it's it's it was just one of those magical episodes. So you can imagine after this experience murphy brown moment in context. . It's may 1992. You had george h. W bush, the incumbent president, and dan quayle, the incumbent vice president, running for reelection. I guess someone was trying to find a way to make dan quayle useful, and they sent him out to make that speech. Dan quayle making a speech before the commonwealth club in california suddenly became big news because of his misguided attempt to make murphy brown basically the poster woman for the ills of society. It's the cover of the new york times, top of the fold. . . Back when folds mattered. Murphy has a baby. Quayle has cow. Quayle has cow. That's the one that always comes back to me. Should have the benefit of being born into families where the mother and a father we'll give them love and care and attention all their lives it leads to people going on and on about this murphy brown fictional character versus dan quayle situation. I think their father figures around that the kid will will enjoy life better. People like dan quayle or so out of touch, these legal peril because that just kind of reflects what's going on in society even johnny carson, just roasted him for the next week. I'm going to join the cast of murphy brown become a surrogate father to that kid was just relentless and i just hid behind my curtain i mean, i was really afraid to go out because it was so there was such an energy coming that was so huge that i didn't know how to manage it. I had a great mentor and he said, just make one statement and then back off and let everybody else jump into the fray and i thought that was really good advice. And so that's what i did diane english response if the vice president thinks it's disgraceful for an unmarried woman to bear a child and if he believes that a woman cannot adequately raise a child without a father, the need better make sure abortion remains safe and legal. It was actually got frightening for me for awhile to, because we would get weird messages from people who sounded a bit deranged and, you know, you just never knew. So i felt like i had to be walked to my car sometimes at night and, you know, it was it was this whole world that you know, just exploded that i never thought i would be a part of i know it's not fashionable to talk about moral values but we need to do it i was the speech writer who wrote the speech. I think if people read it, they be shocked. How they had misperceived what it was about the wait is over. Tim walz and j. D. Vance in their first and only facetoface debate.

Com, at rubella you never faithful sees the deals on top before there shot today everyone loves murphy brown. What is your favorite television murphy brown on channel five not what i loved working for dan quayle in particular, was that that office was the locus of actual conservatism in the bush white house that notion of dan quayle going after murphy brown, that's also the battle against hollywood. That hollywood elite culture doesn't speak to your values. And the republican party seem to be wanting to go back to the 1950s the media historically had a very narrow denition of the family the era of leave it to beaver father knows best features a white suburban family, the husbands, the breadwinner, the wife is domestic like hamburgers thanksgiving whether that was ever the norm in society, i think is another question. Lot of the change in families on television in the early 90s burst down certain doors, whether it was married with children, we all appreciate she ate what you do for this family be conventional family. And then the simpsons, also, which terrified people at the time hi, you all is willing to touch all of the cultural issues like what tv and hollywood were up to the country was gratified to hear the diminution of the family be addressed the have murphy brown being glorified? by on television as a single mother is really questionable, if not an absolute injustice. We've got a battle on our hands that i think is equal to the babylon communism thank god. Dan quayle had the guts to come out and say something about it indiana he was very young when he won the seat in congress part of the reason for a success is that he was just willing to take on these incumbents nobody else would at age 33, dan quayle was the youngest person ever elected senator from the state of indiana it's time to make this country okay, again, he was kind of a polish new face and that was of course part of his appeal to george hw bush and the campaign. The next vice president of the united states, senator dan quayle of indiana think they fled that dan quayle would be the poster boy for four young republican, straitlaced future of the country. He's got an answer maybe president one day and it backfired tremendously. The main liability for quail when he was picked as vp is that his an experience. In 1988 at the vice presidential debate, dan quayle uses a moment to compare himself to a young john f kennedy and lloyd bentsen saw an opening. I served with jack kennedy. I knew jack kennedy jack kennedy was a friend of mine senator, you're no jack kennedy it may be the most epic debate moment in history microwave dan quayle on the spot into a puddle. That was really uncalled for senator started becoming prone to gaffes. There is nothing that a good defense can not be a better offense is mangling of the united may grow college funds, mantra, a mind is a terrible thing to waste what a waste it is to lose one's mine or not to have a mind mine is being very wasteful how true that is. We went a season and a half of making a dan quayle a joke every episode. Yes, i was so amazed. And because we had never had a vice president, this unqualified, who was eight, literally heartbeat away from the presidency. The here's dan quayle on the driving range said he wouldn't have anything to if you gave them truth serum. I'm pretty sure george hw bush would have said it was a mistake to have ever pick well, in the first place, he was constantly mocked, ban my little bias scamper i think the poor guy got pretty much ridiculed unfairly at times he couldn't been as dumb as everyone thought he was he wasn't dumb if he were dumb, george hw bush wouldn't have picked him as vice president everything he said was taken out of context and blown up and he was made to look like an idiot do you think the national media been fair to dan quayle well then let's a annoy the media and reelect our great president what i think is great about making front of him for the murphy brown speech is that that's not a gaffe. It's not a misstatement. It's a full on articulate believe in piece of weird ideology. You have to remember this was a speech that at some point started off talking about the la riots which had happened weeks earlier. And if you're thinking to yourself, what on earth did murphy brown have to do with the la riots you're thinking exactly what everyone was also thinking at the time? he is the smartest somebody is ever done this for a living james was famous for winning races.

I mean, it was to be in the center of it why don't we place ourselves in manhasset from the top and reverse it once. Width camera different than everybody. Murphy brown it was never meant to be the center of anything. There had been these riots in los angeles, which was the genesis of the speech. The la riots had to do with decades of tension between we in the african american community and law enforcement in los angeles, which had been systemically racist for decades during the 80s and 90s is this crack down on the gangs of los angeles on drugs in south central los angeles. Another gang's shooting. And it basically gave police cover to use aggressive militaristic style policing stood out residents of la, having an unfortunate encounter with the police was real but things came to a head at that time. Certain things happen in a row rodney king's beating had echoes of se, slave beatings and i think for a lot of people this was shocking. This videotape touched off a firestorm of hours it shows what appears to be a group of los angeles police officers beating a suspect with nightsticks, kicking other officers, look on. We had rodney it king, and then we had natasha harlan's, a young black woman is shot to death by the korean own
