and democracy source watch by, close, one of the original charter members of the far right-wing john birch society. another birch society board member was fred koch, the father of charles and david koch. dr. brulle's research indicates that the bradley foundation between 2003-2010 gave almost $30 million to these organizations that he tracks in this web of denial, $30 million. then there is dunn's foundation for the advancement of right thinking, a florida-based grant-making foundation that drn shows between 2003-2010 gave $13.7 million into this web of denial organizations. then there is the freedom trust which according to center for media democracy source watch has also funded americans for prosperity, guess what, the koch group, the american enterprise institute, alec, the front group, the heartland institute, those classics who compared climate change to the unabomber, climate change believers to the unabomber, and the state policy network. dr. brulle's research again indicates that they gave $21.7 million to this web of denial groups that he tracks. and another donor, of course, to t

came as former candidate nelson rockefeller rebutted the extreme forces of the party led by the john birch society during debate about the party platform. "there is no place in the rebublican party for such talkers of hate, such purveyors of prejudice. there is no place in this republican party for those who would infiltrate its ranks, distort its aims and convert it into a cloak of apparent respectibility for a dangerous extremism. " "california enters 86 votes no." amending the platform to accomdate advances to civil rights, to combat political extremism and to reign in nuclear proliferation were voted down. a prelude of the convention and party to come. headlines the next day would call victory for goldwater as both candidates would be formally nominated. "v-day for barry! v-day for barry!" "and i am honored indeed and i am proud to nominate my colleague from arizona to be the republican nominee for president of the united states." "our nation and the free world need the man i now nominate, william scranton of pennsylvania." those would be the last cheers for scranton. the following day

arab spring which i think partly inspired the uprising in wisconsin, the home of afscme and the john birch society and anti-civil rights, anti-king organization that was co-founded by fred koch, father of charles and david koch. and you move from the wisconsin uprising to the protests against the key ston xl and then the u.n. climate summit. you know we cover every climate summit from copenhagen to do har, poland, peru and paris and given what happens, why waste the fuel? because it's not what happens inside, it's what happens outside. the thousands of people who come from the most threatened parts of the planet, who come to these sum myths to say like the 15-year-old boy saying, my country will be submerged and the people from subsahara, saying you are cooking our continent. demanding we change. they have debates in the rest of the world. those are debates on what to do about climate change. whether human beings have anything to do with climate change. the science is settled. every time we talk about the planet earth, we brought up someone from the flat earth society for balance, but some

64 when barry goldwater got the name nation and nelson rockefeller stands up and announces that john birchsociety and everybody booze. such great history here. whether donald trump, the fact that melania may have had some borrowed words or some unhappy delegates, is part of the great history of political convention. >> you are a great collection -- a lot of them are made online. i mean, i remember going and filling my pockets. we has to do that. i know, i know. i hate pockets back then. very few given out by the campaigns themselves. you have to purchase them online. a button is a button. though mckinley or donald trump collecting. >> what does this one feel like what we can expect before the close of this dimension and where donald job is to go from here. >> people will tell you that we don't need the bushes, mccain, romney's a very different kind of animal and we prove it by getting more votes in the primaries and caucuses than any other republican in history. at the same time, it's a different audience that you can't rely on the people who got to the nomination and hopefully when. the i

i'm curious what he makes of the john birch prosecution where he was pardoned by bill clinton in i'mrosecuted for bringing class of five materials to his home and not intentionally distributing or anything other than rock was he mishandling that. there are various cases involving military now where they just innocently mishandle some green and got punishment. they are very curious what his take is. liz: to your point, the fbi director did say anyone under similar circuit and this would face administrative or security sanctions. we've got paul ryan and do not give hillary clinton in a classified material on the campaign. do you think there may be more action on that front? >> no, i think is a great kidney punch for paul ryan to take, but no one is going to strip her of her security clearance. look, she's not going to face an administrative punishment the way anyone else would. or prosecution. one is gross negligence. the others willful and intentional conduct. this case willfulness would be required. there's two ways to skin this cat. why is one only applicable. i want him to be speci

all, they thought he was an extremist, using violent rhetoric, taking groups like the john bimp society, really -- birchiety, divided the party, one thing that we are going to see playing out now is just how much control does a party have over its own nominee. >> sreenivasan: michael beschloss does selling fear work? >> it sometimes does. wendell wilkie never said anything remotely like we are talking about, about disarming groups but he did say if you elect franklin roosevelt even though he is promising you he will not involve the united states in a foreign war, you can be assured we are going to be at war probably in a few months. he didn't believe that was true. it went way beyond the facts but it caused wilkie to soar, and almost to the point of striking distance of winning the presidency. >> sreenivasan: this is not one party or another, kind of as old as politics. in the last cycle a lot of people took hillary clinton to task, the 3:00 a.m. man, against barack obama, 3:00 a.m., the red phone is ringing in the white house, do you know who you are going to vote for now is going to flake that decisio
