this is the tea party guy mark fisher. today in response to these revelations yesterday and these accusations yesterday from the massachusetts republican party, today he held a press conference in which he said, you've got it all backwards. i wasn't demanding money from the republican party in exchange for taking my name off the ballot. the republican party was offering me money to take my name off the ballot. they tried to pay me off. >> last december, i was offered $1 million to drop out of the race for governor. my first reaction was this is a bribe. this is illegal. this can't be done. and my second thought was they have no reason why i'm in this race. they came back again, is there any amount of money you would consider. i would consider some amount of money if it was part after bigger deal, part after bigger deal that included my getting on the ballot to pay for the attorney fees. they came back again. what kind of number are you looking for? i said, you make the offer. what kind of number are you looking for? repeat

his name was mark fisher. he was known to be violent, violent to his relatives, violent to police officers and to other public officials. >> witnesses in the park were shown a photo lineup which included fisher's picture. >> at least three of the witnesses were positive that the photo of mr. fisher was the subject they had seen on the trail. >> but when investigators went to mr. fisher's house, they got some shocking news. >> the police were met by a relative who told them, you haven't heard? my brother, mr. fisher, just killed himself, jumped off the golden gate bridge, committed suicide. >> mark fisher killed himself less than 24 hours after kathy's murder. >> this person now kills himself a day after this type of crime. there are no coincidences like that. you know, it just doesn't happen in my experience. >> it was our belief that after the assault that he felt remorse, that he felt guilt, and he just couldn't live with what he had done. >> a search of fisher's room seemed to confirm his role in the murder

his name is mark fisher. he's the tea party republican candidate for governor in massachusetts.nd this has been part of just an amazing saga in massachusetts. the state republican party first said that that guy, mark fisher, the tea party candidate, had demanded $1 million as like his ransom to stay off the primary ballot, thus giving the establishment republican candidate a clear shot at the general election. after the party accused him of trying to extort them for $1 million, that's when he came out and said, no, no, they tried to bribe me with $1 million to stay off the ballot. and then after all that, the massachusetts republican party said to him, okay, you can be on the ballot. it's just been bizarre and amazing to watch and i don't think anybody made $1 million. but now it looks like the result of all of is that there is going to be a republican primary for governor in massachusetts, with the establishment guy having to face off against the tea party guy and that, of course, is bad news for the establishment guy, for the massachusetts republican would-be candidate, charli

. >> reporter: foreign policy analyst mark fisher says the white house sees merkel as a possible bridge>> she is the link of communication with putin right now. in that respect, being here in washington the day after she just talked to putin, it's very important for symbolic and political reasons. we're not so hot blooded so chancellor merkel is someone on the german scene and europe yoon political scene who likes to lead by consensus. >> reporter: that cool demeanor may keep the german chancellor from hitting president obama with a scathing public critique of the nsa monitoring her private calls. >> she will say very clearly that she is disappointed, but she will do that behind closed doors. she will talk very openly, i think to president obama about this issue, but she will not talk about that issue on the press conference or if she is going to do that, she is going to be very polite. >> reporter: both politically and personally, merkel's visit is a chance for president obama to re-kindl the friendship with american of america's strongest allies. this relationship is very important bo

but there was a runner-up, a tea party candidate named mark fisher, who got just under 15% of the voteing on how you do the math. and the reason why that's important is that 15% in massachusetts is an important threshold. if a republican candidate for governor gets 15% of the vote at the party's nominating convention, then maybe the nominee doesn't get picked at that convention and maybe there has to be a statewide prarp and any candidate who gets 15% or more will get a spot on that primary ballot. so for the past couple of months, the tea party guy has been fighting the state party, arguing that the math was wrong. he did break that 15% threshold, and he should get a spot on the republican primary ballot in september. the state party's been refusing. they're standing firmly behind charlie baker. and you can see why, right? in lots of states, obviously, tea party candidates have been dragging establishment republicans further and further and further to the right in these primary battles, right? you know where that would be particularly disastrous for a republican establishment candidat

so far we know that mark hamill, carrie fisher, and harrison ford are all confirmed to be in the new movie which i believe will be titled "episode 7: a new hip." now, some super fans out there are a little skittish about the relaunch but the director is my good friend j.j. abrams, who just released this photo of the very first table read of the new movie. it is so cool to get a glimpse behind the scenes. which is why i'm giving a wag of my finger to j.j. abrams for blowing it. i mean, look at this photo. everything is wrong. where are the creature designs? every single character is humanoid with two arms and two legs. and those are clearly not canons. they're tatooine battle couches. they should be dantooine attack soaf as. this they ever heard of the hal condatabase? i don't think so. oh, but stephen, i'm sure he'd say, it's just one photo. cry me a farm. ... next up, folks, i make no secret of my love of ronald wilson reagan. my dog's name is gipper. my pool is shaped like a jellybean and i keep a sledgehammer in my trunk so at a moment's notice i can tear down that wall. my apolog

foreign policy analyst mark fisher says the white house sees merkel as a possible bridge. >> she right now the basically the link of communication with putin. no respect, being here in washington the day after she just talked to putin, it's very important, i think, for symbolic and political reasons. >> she is phonep known for taking small steps. >> we are not so hot-blooded. chancellor merkel is someone on the german political seen and on the european scene who likes to lead toward consensus. >> that cool demeanor may keep her from hitting president obama with a scathing public crittik of nsa surveillance. this is her first visit to swarnts news broke that the nsa monitored her private calls. weeks after the u.s. government refused to grant merkel access to her nsa file. >> she will say very clearly that she is disappointed, but she will do that behind closed doors. she will talk very openly, i think, to president obama about this issue, but she will not talk about that on the press n conference or if she does, she will be polite. >> it is a chance for president obama to rekindle the
