if john gotti, jr.acknowledge that he had responsibility for running a criminal enterprise like la cosa nostra, he could be prosecuted for any criminal act committed by that group during his tenure, regardless of whether he was directly involved. did you ever talk to him about any of this stuff? >> gotti: no. no. my father tried his best to shelter me from certain things. >> kroft: i mean, that seems kind of hard to believe. >> gotti: there was no communication between my father and i regarding that. there was none. >> kroft: in part, because the conversation would have been recorded. >> gotti: absolutely. absolutely. >> kroft: gotti says all of his business conversations with his father were relayed through emissaries. whatever you call that "loyal son period"-- which lasted for seven years-- it did not go smoothly. when authorities found $358,000 in the basement of his home, along with a list of recently inducted mafia members, his father was taped calling his son an imbecile, and the new york tabloid

john paulson and others. but behind it all what propels it all is a conundrum that it shouldn't have been john paulson. it shouldn't have been these investors that i write about. who made the billions and figured it out and anticipated this collapse. the investors who should have been the ones i was writing about included people george soros who bet against the british pound and at the time was the greatest trade ever until john paulson and the other investors i wrote about. warren buffett, you know, the greatest investor of the century, of the past century or so. he could have done it. he didn't do it. mike veranos is an expert on securities and that's what john paulson threw himself in analyzing and betting against and mike didn't do this trade. and jim chanos is the most famous short seller out here. this trade is a short seller and jim didn't do this trade. david tepper who's someone i wrote about more recently he made $7 billion last year and he's known for his big trades, big bets. he doesn't care if th

john king of "john king usa," thank you very much. we'll be talking more with our senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin later this hour and to mark preston as well. let's take a quick break. you're in the cnn "newsroom." we're back in a moment. >>> okay. he cast a crucial vote to pass health care reform and he came under fire from the right and the left. now democratic congressman bart stupak is calling it quits. our senior congressional correspondent dana bash was first to report this story for us and she is live from marquette, michigan. good to see you. great reporting, by the way. how much of a role did the fallout over health care reform play in stupak's decision? >> reporter: well, let me tell you what people close to him are telling me that he'll announce at this podium just behind me in a little over an hour. they say that he is going to say that the role that health care reform played in his decision is that he first ran in 1992, 18 years ago on the promise of trying to reform health care and now that it is done he feels that i

congressman john lewis. let's listen. hope you're listening, congresswoman bachmann. >> that god [ bleep ] and don't tell me that i need some [ bleep ]. i ain't paying no god [ bleep ] fine. tell that n [ bleep ] -- >> well the "n" word was used prolifically, governor. as you wouldn't be surprised. the language was familiar from the past. it's still out there. everybody in the public life knows these words are not far from the lips of some people. we saw, of course, congressman cleaver get spat upon. we have an adequate visual record of that. and i think that congresswoman should pay attention to that scene. there it is. amazing. there it is, congressman cleaver -- well, he was a gentleman. the other guy was worse than i can think about. there he is, he wouldn't stop. governor, you've been through all of this. is this a play of what's called the republican base? is this just clearly aimed at the people who don't like change, or what is it? >> i think it's a miscalculation, period. that base doesn't belong anyplace in forg

and it's signed john paul stevens.s is he is going to leave the court at the end of this term. we were talking about this a bit early. what he does not say here is that he will stay on the court until his successor is nominated and confirmed, that he's leaving service as soon as the court term ends, which would be usually in late june. so that differences -- that basically gives the senate and president until october 1st to find a successor. that means he'll leave the court at the end of the term. you know, justices vary on how they choose to do this. some of them say they will stay until a successor is confirmed. some like suter did last year will leave as soon as it's over. >> let me bring diane back in, clec for supreme court justice -- sorry, say that again? a law professor is joining me now. the news we're following here, supreme court justice john paul stevens announcing his retirement at the end of this current term in the supreme court, that's supposed to happen sometime this summer. paul, what does a justice n

i'm john. well, a quick glance at the planning progress report illustrates two unique aspects of this season. plus the ideal weather has made april one for the books and how far ahead illinois farmers are. after 2008 so many of us were pumped we sprinted the whole way. for younger farmers like my son we'll always have 2009 in our thoughts pushing to crowd the pace for years to come. for my part i'm glad i had many less frantic planting periods to enjoy. let's get started with the headlines. >> hello everyone. even though some elements for yet to be implemented work got underway to write the 2012 version. it should focus on energy and jobs in rural american. agriculture secretary tom was the first witness to testify. and in his prepared remarks he outlined priorities for the administration. renewable energy will mean jobs. bio fuel development and energy use policies have played a role in ag and role policy and should continue to do so. he says the farm bill should provide incentives that would

smack john heilemann? >> you know, the role of the me and presidential is huge, i mean, one of the things that's most interesting and reporting on this campaign is the fact that all of the campaigns feel as though the media was biased against them. they all feel as though that as the caller says they look at the power, expect even president obama's campaign felt that we? >> president obama's campaign, whenever they were confronted with him and i think mark and i would agree that president obama got very favorable coverage in the course of the campaign, it's just not disputable. but based on the questions of something like reverend wright, that they were subjected to, and in many cases they do those things, that things are there is, the rezko relationship, things that were not germane. like every presidential campaign they were felt to me was focus on triviality and things that were non-stories rather than focusing on what the candidate wanted to say about health care policy or economic policy. i think it i

[applause] >> thank you, john. thanks there much for coming. so lamentations that special interests by spending obscene amounts of money were strangling the voice of the people. fears that the nation was going to hell in a handbasket carried by lobbyists. these were something i today, but the same stories to the press and the capitol capital building in the 1870's. in the gilded age, when wave after wave of scandal uncovered congressman who sold their votes and ruthless men like samuel colt and collis huntington who arrived in washington with boxes of pistols and trunks full of cash with which to buy them, a suave new yorker, sam ward, rain unspotted as the king of the lobby. not only that, he transformed what it meant to love the purebreds of railroad stop one for him to the king of the lobby traded in information exchange that dinner parties. evenings that one guest gushed for the climax of civilization. at his table, he outlines of a new modern lobby, a lobby easily recognize today took shape. king of the lobby is about lobbying power, polit

and staying with john yoo for a minute, this is an intelligent man. he clerked for lawrence silverman at the u.s. court of appeals, went on to clerk for clarence thomas, was the counsel of the house, senate judiciary committee, is now a berkeley professor, very prolific writer, and he is distorting information in a very dishonest way. and i think that to do that to make a point and to try to do it for political purposes is very dangerous. and i certainly hope republicans and the authoritarian republican at least, the authoritarian conservative republican, gets off this kick because it's going to backfire on them. >> host: you wrote in the book on warren harding some of the parallels between the teapot dome scandal and watergate. what were they? >> guest: well, there's, the -- first of all, of course, it's the first time we have a special prosecutor. we get in teapot dome two. i want to caveat your mention of teapot dome and harding with the fact that warren harding has nothing to do with it. that's one of the great travesties that he's been tagged wit

john, your assessment? you think they'd like to see more, 75 votes or maybe 63 and make it a little tougher? >> reporter: i think it depends on what bill the larger group would sign on to. he knows he's got the whip hand in this debate right now. he's got the strongest position. so he can hold tough on some the controversial elements and they'll come along. if he only got five for a tough bill i think we would take that, but if the whole rest of the crew wants to sign on board and have a consensus bill, i think he'll say, i made them take it. what republicans are going to say, by the the way, chris. we stood up against bailouts. we protected the taxpayer from that. >> thank you very much, john harwood. thank you, savannah guthrie at white house. has a healing touch. there's a factory giving old industries new life. and there's a train that got a whole city moving again. somewhere in america, the toughest questions are answered every day. because somewhere in america, more than sixty thousand people spend ev

a week in constitutional law, but john u-- john yoo has appeared in this form. john is a friend of mine. we disagree on many issues and we actually debate on a fairly regular basis, but i know that individuals among us might agree or disagree with john. it is always a good debate with john because he is, like so many of probably all of the folks you have visiting, very civil but knowledgeable about the issues about which he spoke and i will be touching on a couple of the same issues. perhaps john yoo spoke about presidential power. both from a historical standpoint as well as the historical standpoint. constitutional issues this evening. let me begin with a reference to a movie. i don't have time to make, to go out to the movies an awful lot that my wife and i went to a movie recently and it was actually a fairly good movie. it came to mind as i was giving some thought at john's-- george's instruction common excuse me, george's instruction for preparing for tonight or go the movie is called the book of eli. i don't know whether any of you all have seen it or go

and john ehrlichman. ehrlichman, another lawyer, was trying to set domestic advice. the only department he had no influence over was justice because of mitchell's real impact with the president. and this bothered ehrlichman. didn't bother mitchell because he had control of it. but with time and after mistakes were made, let's, again, stay with haynesworth and carswell. they were disastrous nominees for the court. i mean, haynesworth should have made it. carswell would have never been a very good justice in the best day. so, and then more bad recommendations came over. so this gave ehrlichman tremendous leverage as we'll get into in watergate. there were even more serious problems where the sort of the hard feeling between these two men that i gather -- and i wasn't in the campaign in '68 -- went back that far where they really were at odds on a number of issues, came to play and influenced the president's -- and i think hurt the presidency for the worst. >> host: we're talking with john dean, his latest b

so the john birch society got exiled essentially in the '60s.ved in the fringes for decades after that. until this past year. the conservative movement decided to bring them back into the fold. the john birch society was invited to co-sponsor the big c-pacc c-pac. i sat down and talked with them. they were still trying to sell me on the evils of fleur ride, i kid you not. they were very nice to me, i spent some quality time hanging out with them. i did not learn very much but we certainly had a pleasant and cordial time. given our spirited hate-free jousting, i was surprised when one of our excellent viewers recently brought this to our attention. it's a new six-page john birch society fundraising letter which has gone out to their supporters. on page five it says this, quote, we know that the other side is watching our growth with alarm. recently we were abeing tad on the air by msnbc commentator rachel maddow. we responded to her charges online the next day. the third day she responded so we know she and others are monitoring our website. she

it fell to john f. kennedy, the junior senator in the middle of writing his book "profiles in courage." he became chairman of the committee but the other senators were much more senior than he. they brought in a group of 160 academics, including harry truman, to send in a less. and i think the list had about 68 major senators. they could always a light five. that finally did boil it down to henry clay, daniel webster, john c. telcalhoun -- no-brainers. but there were two slots for the toy center. the great progressive republican from nebraska, father of the tva another progress of legislation, that the first vote from the outside panel. but the nebraska senators decided that they were not going to let him brace holes, so they agreed that this would be unanimous. so they said -- they selected a senator from wisconsin, another progress of senator, and then robert taft of ohio, who had been the republican leader for a very short period of time. and that was set. and then in 1999, trent lott looked around a

john, what did you make of tiger's play today? >> reporter: i was a little surprised, larry, because we nev never see him play this well even in good times. but the great play with the seven-putt par putting on the seventh hole. he got a little bit behind early and it affected how he got into the rhythm of the round. but when you get through the third hole at one under and you're staying on par all day, it relaxed him and he started to go after some easy pins. >> larry: were you surprised at the crowd's reaction to him, though? >> reporter: not really, larry, because he's been out here on monday. now he's out tuesday and out wednesday and it seems like it's back to normal in terms of his golf. i thought today was the most spontaneous reaction to it. i thought it was a little bit guarded. people were not quite sure how to react to him. earlier in the week, it just felt more natural, i think everyone was just waiting to see how he played and see how he did. >> larry: jim, is there any doubt that he's the greatest of them all? >> rep

in the financial crisis than john mccain. is that a fair assessment? >> what i would say is it is no doubt fair that the conversations i had with john mccain weren't as frequent as they were with barack obama. they were more difficult and he certainly gave me more anxiety about all that, and now president obama was attentive, engaged, and i felt comfortable he was quick to support what we needed to do. but i'm quite grateful to john mccain because -- and have respect for him because let me tell you with an election six weeks away when we went to congress there is no way we would have in my judgment got

>> guest: 11th. >> host: and john is joining us from las vegas. welcome to the program. >> caller: thank you for taking my call. mr. dean, i wanted to know if thought that what happened in the 1960 election in illinois and west virginia had a major impact on president nixon's attitudes towards the powers that be in the media and what have you. and did you have any conversations regarding -- i believe his top lawyers at the time wanted him to challenge the electoral count in all of illinois which would have given him the presidency but from what i've known -- i had an indirect conversation -- a second party conversation with the president back around 1966. his reasoning for not challenging that election, i believe, was it would have torn the country apart in a time in the '60s when we had a very serious problem with nuclear confrontation with the russians. if you would please give me your thoughts -- any conversations and maybe that made him a little bitter to the press and what have you because of the stolen election. >> host: thank you, john. >>

and he hasn't. >> john heilemann? >> you know, the role of the media in presidential elections is obviously huge. i mean, i think one of the things that's most interesting in reporting on this campaign is the fact -- is the fact that all the campaigns feel as though the media was biased against them. they all feel as though that as the caller says they look at the power of the media and they feel the media plays this outsized role in some way it's unfair to them. >> even president obama's campaign felt that way? >> president obama's campaign -- whenever it was confronted with -- i mean, i think mark and i would agree that president obama got very favorable coverage in the course of the campaign. it's not disputable. they felt on the questions of things like reverend wright like they were subbed as tough as media scrutiny as any president in history. things like the rezko relationship, things like that. that those were not germane. they were constantly, you know, felt that the media was focused on trivialities and thin

john, clearly a great deal of passion on this issue both in arizona and in washington. right now, does the white house have the support for immigration reform? >> no. the president doesn't have the votes. he called some republicans this week to try to convince them. they weren't convinced, and he's going to have a tough fight ahead of him on this. democrats think even if something doesn't pass, they can get hispanic voters excited. the problem with the politics on this is conservatives also get very excited about immigration reform. lindy graham, senator from south carolina, has said moving too fast on immigration will ruin any efforts to work with graham on climate change bills. so the politics of this are very exciting and unpredictable. >> glor: meanwhile, let's go back to these goldman e-mails for a second if we can. we know the senate begins debate on financial reform this coming week. how do these e-mails affect that debate? >> well, they help the white house. the white house has been trying to say republicans are in the pocket of wall street to the extent that th

[laughter] >> well, that was when he came back and there was quite a scene when he interrupted his campaign to come back and i remember i was testifying at the time and michelle davis here with me today was sitting behind where i was testifying and handed me a note and i -- my blood ran cold right there and she said to me if someone asks you about john mccain coming back just simply say i welcome the involvement of everyone in this because i think she was afraid of what might come out of my mouth. [laughter] she talked to me on the flight of the way down. but in any event, so as it turns out again, the -- it was a couple of days of anxiety but again, john mccain when he was back spend time with the house of republicans rallying of them and so she did his part and then even after we got from t.a.r.p., he did not jump on or criticize some of the things we had done which again we are very unpopular. the american people -- and i am proud of the fact on one level the american people none o

and john ehrlichman.nother lawyer, he was trying to set domestic advice. the only department he had no influence over was justice because his real impact with the president, this bothered ehrlichman. it didn't bother mitchell because he had control of it but with time after mistakes were made, they were disasters nominees for the court. carswell never would have been a very good justice in the best day. more bad recommendations came over. this gave ehrlichman tremendous leverage. as we will get into in watergate there were even more serious problems where the hard feelings between these two men, i wasn't in the campaign in 68, went back that far where they were at odds on a number of issues came to play and influenced presidents and hurt the presidency for the worse. >> we are talking with john been on his latest book, blind ambition with the rest of the story in 2009. jay is joining us from fort lauderdale, florida. >> mr. dean, i saw you down here a couple years ago when you were doing your last book si

"john king, usa" starts right now. >> thanks. a busy day here in washington in the financial reform debate. if you're following that florida senate race, don't go anywhere. more wacky developments as governor charlie crist suddenly sounds an independent streak. anger in america. we'll look at this anger all across the country. who's angry, why are they angry and how might it affect our midterm election year politics? we'll go wall-to-wall and look at this question. is the government trying to take your guns away? that's what many of those demonstrators think. we'll put their concerns to the fact test. one on one tonight. frank keating was the governor of oklahoma when tragedy struck 15 years ago. we'll ask him about america's discontent then and now. in our forum discussion tonight, florida's wacky politics. governor charlie crist is a republican. for months he's said, no, no, no, i'm running as a republican. suddenly he says he's open to running as an independent. all that and more in a packed hour ahead. but first, a few observ

johns river. >> it's hearsay.atement being made by someone. >> i know that statistics say, you know, that chances are that she's dead. >> police announced that haleigh cummings is likely deceased. >> i'll just have to continue to believe till they prove to me. >> officially, this is a homicide investigation. >> i don't believe that tommy and misty could do anything to harm a child. >> the truth will come out, and then they'll know that they were [ bleep ] with the wrong people, they weren't doing their jobs right. >> is misty croslin still the key to this investigation? absolutely. >> she don't know nothing, she can't tell them nothing. she don't know where the kid is, how can she tell them where she is? >> first thing that i was told was that joe had killed her. that was the first words that i was told. >> why did he kill her in the first version? >> that i don't have any idea. i don't even know if she was dead when she hit the water or not. >> we are taking your calls live. to sergeant scott haines, sheriff's of

john, he is a love nl guy. >> look at this? he's just sitting there.im's knee. >> this is a wonderful project and i encourage everybody to go to the block party and certainly just be aware of the baltimore child abuse center. this a difficult period for a small child, and these guys are really trying make it imaginable. >> this guy is the calmest dog you've had in ages. >> just calming everything down particularly with all the baseball craziness going on. support the baltimore orioles. they have a lousy closer but they're a great organization. >> my dog is overweight and his paw looks bent. >> have you had amend it hurts when i go like this and the doctor said don't go like this. thepa w foot is bent. . go to the doctor. if your vet is not clear about orthopedics. doctor fallen and katenville. there's a bunch you can call. >> when someone says my dog is slightly overweight and us this, is there a connection? who's fault is the overweight. >> that's interesting because dog's can't open a refrigerator. part of the treatment for flight is not just drugs t

as john pointed out, she's got a primary challenge from the left. she's a very moderate democrat and she's kind of annoyed the liberal base quite a lot with some of her votes on health care. so she now has a primary challenger who, you know, she wants to show that she can be even more liberal than obama in some things. >> and powerful, too. >> she is the first arkansasen to be chairman of that committee. what i wonder about is if they get a deal, and so we have a bipartisan victory here, to you, john, what does that mean for the president moving forward? and, janet, does it mean we might see more bipartisanship on the hill? what does it mean? >> i think as janet said, it would be a big victory for the president, very large bill. i doubt that it's going to have a big ripple effect on other issues because this is a unique issue. wall street reform is very popular with the public. it's something where the president is not sailing into the wind -- gwen: for a change. >> yes. and this is why he's enjoying this fight so much. the procedural vote we may ha
