but an hour ago when it exploded we're hearing that at least two people have been killed the numbers are still to be confirmed as early days these are evacuating people from nearby houses because don't know whether it's a terrorist. simply exploded or whether it was a bomb eccentrics cetera but that's all we know at the moment a blast appeared a ghost and i will update you of course coming up larry king's exclusive tour of u.s. news history you're watching artsy international. although i have gone duck hunting a few times i've never seen the duck dynasty t.v. show but gosh i heard about the standoff involving one of the stars of the show

phil robertson who got suspended for making what many consider anti-homosexual comments in an interview this celebrity scandal is creating a lot of arguments about freedom of speech on social networks many people who believe that robertson deserved to be booted from the show for what he said argue that freedom of speech means that robertson can't be arrested by the government for what he said but the any t.v. channel has the right to fire whom they like the thing is that if this situation were reversed and robertson was fired for making pro l.g. p.t. statements then people who are currently defending any right to hire and fire as they please what all be bashing the t.v. channel for violating the stars freedom of speech they cry that firing him would violate his rights and i'm sure some websites would make him into a hero or demand a boycott a closing of a and a forever very few people actually believe in freedom of speech for all they just believe in freedom of speech for people who agree with them but that's just my opinion.

from j.f.k.'s assassination to nine eleven the famous the infamous a fascinating look inside history of instant changed and shaped america so are the authors of the news i'll take you on the next schools to tour inside the nation's newseum in washington d.c. all next on politicking with larry. welcome to politicking with larry king one a special show we have you in a day we have a tour of the incredible newseum in washington d.c.

cabbie trolls will be my partner on this tour she is the vice president of exhibits here at the newseum and you're going to see an incredible story the history of news in america in all phases of the news in this hour on this world structure come along for the trip. is the gallery which detains the suit the warning the football legend slitted of

murder and a door where events behind didn't lead to a president's impeachment. where we know where big news history gallery where we tell the story of five centuries of news history one of fourteen stories is that scandal stories of always been with a celebrity stories have been here since the beginning of reporting people think it's some new invention and one of the things that's really intriguing here is this suit that o.j. simpson moore in court on the day he was acquitted in one nine hundred ninety five this of course was the story of the decade how do you get that suit that we were able to work with i think one of the attorneys who had it and it's a gift from them and this was a custom tailored two thousand dollars suit that was chosen carefully by jury consultants on his side to make the best impression in court procedures brought me to los angeles and i was in that office would do. gee you go right by invitation so we cover the bad in the good you do and that's important for folks to know here

that there's extraordinary things that happen because of journalism and there's also a few mistakes that have been made along the way. look at these kind of weird when you've interviewed people. since going back to the one nine hundred fifty seven. so this is fifty six years so as i walk through this is the door of watergate right yes in the building it is hard to get this story is the only broken right yeah this is the door this is one of the most historic doors in journalism in political history this was the door that the burglars shot before the break in at the d.n.c. back in the seventy's that lead ultimately to the downfall of president nixon this is part of the great history of the washington post and the story that they won the pulitzer prize for and we got it because after the investigation was over the janitor of watergate took it home and put it in his basement and so we were able to

work with him to acquire this for the museum and this picture i know everyone in this picture that's katharine graham spent many hours at her house. is woodward and bernstein howard simons who is ben bradley chief assistant bradley at the washington post yeah that was the dream team they were the key players in that incredible story that really changed history story of watergate it's all here and mark records the presses as watchdogs on all of us. i got my job from the washington post gerald ford who succeeded nixon. credible place folks you're listening to the larry king show live from the nation's capital to give my existence refused one one of the things i do to fix the wrong thing to ensure my guest is frank zappa this thursday frank will testify with others it to what is a sold out hearing m.t.v.

is going telecast it live while folks on the museum. you bet among the most notable journalists in the newseum is a broadcast legend named larry king and you can see here that we give some information about your really. incredible career let's just see that have been filled with a year that is built on that's true what is this whole section this is the history of news through three hundred fifty newspapers and magazines and people going from here and push back to find people yes you can find other journalists but you can also find front pages of history you can call them up there's somebody you might have interviewed and you can see the actual front pages they appeared on the day and we've got a collection of more than thirty thousand of these myspace. and this is a history right is a history since the invention of the printing press forward so to to modern day so it's really an incredible trip through time through the exhibits come and go because this is a problem this is a burden exhibit you know and

a very important one because it really establishes the flow of history of journalism and why journalism is important but also questions people have about it like is there bias journalists make mistakes so they actually you know we meet those questions head on on urge you you come to washington bring the children come to the museum and it's a incredible place. there we go. to a shake. i want ninety three straight days after nine eleven you know forget the sorry to tell me about this incredible exhibit well this exhibit really tells the story of the reporters who were first responders who you like firemen and cops ran

toward danger when others were running away that day that's why. i reporters do that's what you do and this is the story as told through hundreds of newspapers around the gallery the story that they told on nine twelve and through artifacts like this which is the top part of the broadcast intended that stood on the top of the world trade center and which toppled when the towers fell there were broadcast engineers working in this area and they of course perished with thousands of others on that day but it really is i think the most dramatic piece that we have in the newseum it's it just tells the story right there it's sort of angled you sort of feel like it's falling with the towers and it was the tower that was responsible for all the communication in new york and so everything went down at that point and logistically it was a it was a really hard story to cover. and all of newspaper headlines yeah so we've got nearly two hundred newspapers up here that were printed on nine twelve there were

nearly two hundred extra editions printed that day that was still in the era when we printed extras when we were in on the internet twenty four seven and the hunger for news was so large the new york times sold four hundred thousand extra copies the next day of its paper alone and i think that tells a really in maysan global story one of those bastards so well yeah that was a famous headline in the san francisco examiner we also have over here the objects that were found with the only journalist who died on nine eleven a photojournalist named bill bigger it q. ran toward danger that morning when he saw the smoke plummeting from downtown they found his body four days later under one of the towers where he had died i think when you see these things that were left behind his cameras his badly burned cameras in cases his cell phone his reporter's notebook his reporter's i.d. cards they really tell the story of somebody who risked his life and paid the price

for this story or you know reporters have a role to play in coverage like this of communicating to frighten and terrified nation as you know from the your reporting that day how chaotic it was and how hard it was to report. any person who comes to washington must come here. you know i think it's a really you know we tell the biggest stories of our lives here at the newseum as reported by the journalists who are on the front lines of history. tearing down. this is. one of these is the berlin wall. it is the side that faced freedom these are real pieces of the berlin wall and behind it guard tower that stood there checkpoint charlie the guards had to pull themselves up by ladders they didn't have it to for security reasons so there is a system of ladders that they would use to get up to the top so this whole thing

was filled with. trenches and razor wire and you know this wall was the only wall ever built to keep people in not to keep people out and the story right on this side of the because it faced the west but if you see the other side completely blank because it faced depression and the story of this gallery is that news still was able to to get through the wall and help topple tyranny we've got it right over here gorbachev's pen that he used to scientists signal the end of the soviet era. so there are fifteen permanent exhibits area and then there's three visiting temporary exhibits for always changing up exhibits and adding new things to the mix this whole building is so incredible. touching history careful. can not just the.

next week civil rights exhibit the jays are still leaders maybe their voices are. kept the world you know we're in our new permanent exhibit on the civil rights movement it's called make some noise it's about students in the civil rights movement and it's kind of a little known story a lot of kids don't remember it today but back in the sixty's this country much of the country was still segregated in the lots allows kept african-americans from voting black people couldn't sit next to white people on interstate buses even lunch counters like this famous one from greensboro north carolina were reserved for white people only and so in the sixty's a new generation rose up in protest and they staged direct action protests like sit ins at this lunch counter which create grew into a huge student movement that really helped change the face of segregation. yeah philo but i interviewed stokely carmichael when young marion barry and lewis you

all these people yeah these are the student leaders from the time they were part of a group called the student nonviolent coordinating committee and they've gone on to have amazing careers and public service john lewis of course the u.s. congressman absolute courageous and brave robert moses julian bond all of them many of them still very active. well put together it was a done in. one sweep the whole place we opened on in april of two thousand and eight in one sweep but then we've continued to add new. exhibits every year so you're looking for new things all the time we are and we might want to ask you for a few new things. new things you want our right even have the internet are she featured somewhere along the way do we're across from our new media gallery which really tells the story of these incredible changes that are occurring in this revolution that's going on in the news business right now and you have tapes running to write yeah we have a wonderful department that does their own in-house video and this is

a video about that era in the civil rights movement. to. leave us here on this idea that we live in a democratic society if you abuse the instruments of democratic power you actually do you want living in a democratic power anymore. crosstalk

rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. such a calm one of the twenty fourteen olympics was this place why and why is it so special as the russian resort prepares to welcome the world power of the games shaping the city's present and future life so it's we will bring you this is the moment there was you from a very cold snowy windy mountain in stuff yet beyond the olympics but let's say. on our team.

our first stop is here in allington virginia this famous religion boil the pigs this side of the battle of the wood jima and we were raised that famous flag and those four soldiers all of whom latest crew of the united states raising money for the war effort there's the prospect god is still live in that building when i was single there for days. our one of the most famous corners that washington corner of wisconsin and in historic georgetown georgetown university is two blocks down president john kennedy live three blocks up the road this is the famous shopping going to a lot of restaurants problem bars and on hollow we can move on the street see all young people in washington dressed in the weirdest costumes congregating here. and now i believe the stars he had now morial and main bridges says that all the

names of those who died are are on this wall and when you walk by you see yourself in the wall as if to say who are we to blame you can read anything you want into this. i always read it as kind of a blend many people read it as kind of a tribute and i have a special memory of this because when they broke ground for those they do special on p.b.s. and i coached their best special and i remember when they put the the actions of the ground shovels one of the ground to build a small moro i had no idea it would come out looking like this on the side of the road this is. a very hard so. very warm very human very sad very important mind vietnam memorial. the many problems in america i dined at the common l.a.

the palms and often metropolitan miami but this is off the promenade watching ready at least the. inside on exactly like the in our case the kid from brooklyn. we haven't changed in thirty five years or the same. kind of car is going to be off of a newspapers in new york and it was very morning prepared to meet him and only talk to him come in your phone. and pictures every president's pictures and there was no. reason i think therefore to hear that my fortieth anniversary. or my book is going to be nobody knows that travel guides.

fifty years this james gaze assassination next visit the exhibit that chronicles the events that day. this goes without saying. but we're in the fiftieth anniversary year of president kennedy's death one of the most to most with things that ever happened to america. and we wanted to mark that here in the newseum this year and these artifacts are part of our exhibit called three shots were fired which of course was the first part of the u.p.i. bulletin the moved on his death these artifacts include suspected assassin lee harvey oswald shirt jacket and wallet they're all being publicly displayed here for the very first time they're alone from the national archives and they really tell an extraordinary story of his apprehension in the texas theater. poorish them i'm feeling old and then his wallet is extraordinary i think because think about your own wallet and what it tells about you well this tells a big story about lee harvey oswald as well and this is old ball can be when you

this is above but yeah this is how reporters covered those four days that really shook the world from the assassination as you remember the capture of oz well the shooting of officer tippit the capture of oz while in the first live broadcast murder on national television when ruby shot oswald that sunday so this is all through the lens of the reporters who covered it it's really extraordinary to spend one of the most popular exhibits this year and here the famous is a broom story right this is abraham zapruder film the assassination of president kennedy with this home movie camera this is the camera that is the camera that he used to film was probably the most famous twenty six seconds of film in the history of our country he was the only witness to capture the entire sasa nation on film including the moment that the fatal bullet struck. incredible you have all those i saw in route first thing i saw all my life want to be in a movie the. news machine yeah there is the

bells used to ring the ticker teletype machines like this one spread the news of kennedy's assassination in the way they did it was like you said a bell inside the machine alerted newsrooms that there was a big story so a news bulletin from u.p.i. would ring five bells but a flash which was the highest and most compelling story was ten bells and that's why it rang that day and we had a copy of the u.p.i. flash right in that teletype machine that reports his death but also when you look at this case look at the way reporters reported back in the day it was bulky it was cumbersome you carried your typewriter with each carry microphones and big tape recorders big cameras and were a moment of photographers of course had film that they had to expose and then they had runners along the route that they the reporters know reporters know pads i think those are still in use that. don't them around and they'll still have to be human people doing this robots cannot use those. yet you have

to. do it inside libya to be seized him or us and saucers up next. we're with kathy trosa of the fabulous newseum in washington i remember when this was just a dream of our new hans we start in rosslyn and kathy you are the vice president of exhibits here were you in broadcasting or not i was in print i was inkstand gretsch the wall street journal and a couple other papers and your job here is i oversee a great team that puts these exhibits together and tell me where we are now we're in the gallery that's devoted to the memory of tim russert who was really one of the most respected journalists of our time he changed the face of sunday morning public affairs programming longest running moderator of meet the press of a. analyst at the absolute top of his game when he died so in such an untimely way and old a new friend we did major programs when he died i first met him at the governor's

mansion in albany when he was an assistant to mario cuomo that's right and watched him come to washington worked at n.b.c. the head of the bureau here yes and tell me about this well we recreated the office in just exactly the way he left it that day and i think it's a marvelous look at a journalist who's really a working newsman so you can see this was the middle of primary season he was preparing some. binders there on the upcoming primaries you can see some of the things that really inspired him around the sophos not just the work that he did which are so important but his family pictures of luke and maureen behind us his faith the big catholic so that you actually move the desk in here yes this is all the real material is that is it was the things on the best this is a real exact replica of the way he worked on a great idea the things on the wall here yeah well this is a i can take a white board that he used during the two thousand election to predict accurately that the key state was going to be florida to turn things around in that election

you can see florida florida florida and you know the point about him was that he was low tech he didn't need all the fancy high tech stuff you threw that whiteboard up there and he made a big impact that night these are memorials that people left for him in white board fashion at n.b.c. after he died he was a regular guy honestly i think it was the connection he was blue collar he constantly talked about his dad who'd been a sanitation worker and he really made a connection with the viewer especially the great exhibit here at this fabulous place thank you for it keeps changing have you were amazing progress they made here and then where started well we're i mean we're two hundred fifty thousand square feet we're fifteen permanent exhibits fifteen theaters two state of the art t.v. studios anything you want we've got on we go.

this is our look back at the top news stories of the f.b.i.'s first century worked really closely with the f.b.i. on this which was a real treat and we tell the good stuff in the bad stuff you know we talk about cointelpro we talk about who we were they also tell about some of the great times when the media and the law enforcement work together well we're in our f.b.i. exhibit and behind you is the actual cabin that ted kaczynski otherwise known as the unabomber lived in montana in the rural wilds of montana for nearly twenty years this was the cabin where he made his deadly bombs he injured many people he killed three he was sort of a mad genius and the f.b.i. pursued him for nineteen years before they finally caught him and when they raided the cabin they found a live bomb ready to go in the cabin and the story we like to tell there oh is that there was cooperation between law enforcement and reporters because. the post in

the times to print his thirty five thousand word manifesto and he'd stop bombing and they did and it led to his arrest credible story those are engines from there and from one of the flights that hit the trade towers in new york that is part of the nine eleven investigation those are the shoe bomber shoes over there it's really really tough stuff. thank you for joining me on this inside look at history at the newseum in washington i hope everyone has a chance to visit here for my viewers out there i want to hear from you so there's a conversation on my facebook page and share your thoughts on twitter by tweeting at king's the eggs and using the at politicking hash tag that's all for this week's politicking.

jamie diamond is a guy who's begging to be euthanized and i think as a country as a world we should get together and answer his wish he wants to become one with his maker he says look i broke the law please arrest me i want to go to jail and be abused by hundreds of thousands of inmates in some godly way that's my goal in life i'm tired of being free put me in prison i beg you so he breaks more and more laws but unfortunately the law breaking becomes the basis of the g.d.p. for a country like america and they can't put him in jail because i need him out there breaking the law so they can pay themselves huge bonuses at the end of the year so he's really is an existential crisis.
