>> one of them is in prison, john connally. >> hat's off to the massachusetts state police as well. >> they were honest and not corrupted. >> only one guy went to jail? >> he was the main contact. i think there was another guy as well. >> but it did stop, you are right. >> let me explain for the viewers, for three of our panelists, this is a local issue. >> this is a national issue. what affects the baystate of explanation. >> that moment in 2017 when we all get to say, madam president to hillary rodham clinton. >> can anyone out there be hillary clinton? >> hillary clinton may pete hillary clinton. she is adopting a set of left- wing ideas before the primary, she may alienate her saw from the average american, she made to feed herself. clare mccaskill was speaking, newt gingrich as well. if not hillary, who? o'malley,en, martin andrew cuomo, charles klobuchar., amy if elected, i will search. >> the bench is pretty thin. a week is a lifetime in politics. three years is an eternity. i do not know if hillary clinton will run in 2016. >> at one time, we were talking about hillary clinton

they supported the conviction of john connally in boston. but this guy decided to flip or turn a some point. the word was that he was going to do a memoir, remember the blotchy papers to another famous best seller that was made into a movie with charles bronson read by the great journalist. well, they were -- the rumor among the mob was that this guy was going to tell a story that would embarrass. so this is @booktv going to try to read. this is a teletype. to the director. the boston office. like a sinister commission member recently returned. colombo confided to an informant and the informant is scarpa. not a vacation but a famer -- a favre. aware that colombo, a close friend of the singer frank sinatra requests that he intercede with author known to sinatra who is presently writing a book based on information from stool pigeon who was barred those of. this was written by an fbi agent. you have to love this. from still patient -- and dug into the end of it. basically compromise patriarch. today you think the writer was? did not identify th

the shots which killed president kennedy and wounded governor connally were fired by lee harvey oswaldyour theory. >> that's correct. my book was based on the investigation by baltimore gunsmith and firearms expert who spent 25 years looking at the evidence from the assassination. initially he set out to initially verify the conclusions, but pretty quickly some anomalies developed with respect to the head shot from a ballistic and forensic standpoint. and based on those discrepancies, it was clear to him that there was no possible way that lee harvey oswald could have fired the shot that struck kennedy in the head. so, as a result, he began to try to determine where that bullet might have come from and ultimately concluded that the only logical explanation was an accidental discharge from an ar-15 rifle handled by a secret service agent in the vehicle immediately behind the presidential limousine. >> another theory isn't new, it's been around for a few decades. have you or the filmmakers that you worked with found any new evidence to support these conclusions? >> well, really, the film

nixon and haldeman and john connally and so forth. and then as i began writing, i realized that the story would be better told in two parts. and i wanted to take the political material and publish it as a separate volume because i think it stood very powerfully on its own. c-span: two hundred and thirty pages, $23. was this a hard thing to do? >> guest: no, it really wasn't, because i had the diaries, so i had all of the quotes there, and i had a lot of the insights that i had written in the diaries at the time. so the book pretty much wrote itself. c-span: the new yorker excerpted the part on bill clinton, time magazine wrote a major piece, the new york times reviewed it. there's lots more. does that surprise you? >> guest: no, it doesn't. it doesn't, because whether you like or dislike richard nixon, whether you respect him or not, there's no denying that nixon was one of the most powerful and controversial people to ever run this country in the 20th century. so there's no ignoring richard nixon, and he continues to fascinate us. c-

cording to jerry connally, a democratic congressman from virginia who was at the meeting, obama said the rock of girbralter and trying to turn the economy around. i will not stand by and let his name be disparaged and his reputation trashed because people have a political agenda about who should or should not be. >> he has a long list of people he is talking to. he indicated that there's not, his words, not a piece of paper difference in all of them. >> ahead of the senate democrats will support whoever obama nominates for the position. last week, though, a group of 20 democratic senators wrote a letter urging obama to appoint yellen. they wrote "our nation badly needs a chairman with a solid record with a bank regulator. the board well served by a chairman with monetary policy experience which governor yellen has with more than a decade of service in the federal reserve system." matt, you have written about this a little bit and written it probably should not be in your mind larry summers to get this job. are you part of this crowd that is trashing him like the president said this w

. >> the agent john connally. the thing there was interesting and you know there are so many aspects about the story, whether it is -- evin the stuff where he is part of that cia research project when he's in prison. you know, who knows what the lasting effects. you will hear it during his trial, believe me. >> but of really striking thing is this intertwined corruption of the mob and the fbi if you can separate them in this case. succumbing day thought -- chris i should ask you did they think they were making an informed or was this simply just a bad idea and corrupt at its core? >> one of the things shelley and i talked about this when we are planning the book. could this have happened in any other city? my belief is no because there is no other city whether we are talking about new york, chicago, philadelphia, cleveland, atlanta. there is no city you have these organized crimes, one is tire version one is italian. the mafia is by far bigger and more powerful and more lucrative. in boston it wasn't that way. so

that began long before whitey bulger and john connally.ong before they partnered up to the fbi was doing that in the 1960s in the gain was in boston when they decided who would live and who would i. >> host: how did he get his nickname transferred whitey and when is located he was like a towheaded. people called him it's funny because if you called that to them to his face he would like a hard stare. he wanted to be called by his friend jim or jimmy. his mother called him sunday. he had more nicknames than a mafia guy, but as he embraced, we notice in the letters that he sent t from jail, he started signed and whitey bulger. he kind of brag in some of these letters that he has become the most famous former denizen of alcatraz. even bigger than capone and machine gun kelly. the one thing we saw in these letters, whitey bulger has many problems but self-esteem is not one of them. he thinks very highly of himself. >> host: mike from houston, texas, is honor and event line. >> caller: good morning. my question is, has anybody from the fbi or t
