so, transcripts of oswald's call. well, the received story is that the tapes were erased, routinely recycled. but the recycling story itself only develops after hoover told the white house that these tapes are still in existence. fbi special agents listened to them. they had oswald in the jail cell and determined it wasn't his voice on the tapes. so, oswald, the loser who nobody's ever heard of is connected to a manner which connects him to soviet and cubans. interesting. anyway, it turns out that back in 1976 -- this is one of the memos that went to the secret service about this. turns out that the church mi committee in 1976, like the cia was saying at the time, the tapes had been routinely recycled. nobody ever listened to them. and staff wrote that the staff admits that the matter is not as simple as the bureau asserts. much later two warren commission staffers would say that they listened to these tapes in april of 1964 when they went down to the mexico city as part of the warren commission's investigation. altho

"if, as the cubans allege, someone did pose as oswald at the cuban consulate before kennedy's death in 1963, does that act imply a cia conspiracy to kill the president?" "a cia spokesman tonight answered some of those questions. he flatly denied that the mystery man who was supposed to have identified himself as oswald was an agent for the cia. part of an alleged plot to link oswald with cuba. according to spokesman herbert hetu, 'that is all rubbish.' hetu also said that the cia gave the warren commission 11 pictures of the mystery man but withheld one picture of the man for security reasons." "cia officials say the tribunal in havana appears to be part of a well-orchestrated, worldwide, communist campaign against the cia. touched off in part, perhaps, by russian and cuban unhappiness about the administration human rights program. these officials seem somewhat embarassed by the cia role

"jack ruby" shoots lee harvey oswald won the pew litzer in 1964. the assassination of president kennedy is burned into the consciousness of most americans of a certain age and robert jackson had been working with the paper for three years and he was part of the motorcade covering that visit of president kennedy to dallas. as he is near the book reposito repository, mr. jackson goes down and he starts changing his fame, all of a sudden he hears a couple shots and he looks around, hes here three shots, he looks up and he sees a rifle being retreated from the window of the book repository and he's sitting there on the ground with an empty camera. so he misses covering that historic part of the story. however, mr. jackson continues to cover the story throughout the weekend and he learns that on sunday oswald is going to be taken to the city jail and so he goes and, of course, he's not the only journalist that is covering the event, jack beers from the associated press also happens to be there amongst others and as they position themselves to be waiting

. >> his father was with lee harvey oswald prior to oswald's being shot. i mean the whole thing is ridiculous. what is this, right prior to his being shot. and nobody even brings it up. they don't even talk about that. that was reported and nobody talks about it. but i think it's horrible. what was he doing with lee harvey oswald shortly before the death, before the shooting? it's horrible. >> a cruz campaign spokesperson had told the "miami herald" that the story was garbage. the senator has a campaign stop in evansville, indiana, later this hour. we'll bring you his live comments when cruz starts to speak. meantime, by this time tomorrow the battle for both party's nominations could all be over. >> indiana is becoming very important. this time, you folks belong where you belong. it's called importantville, right? >> we don't want a president who is rash, who is hot-headed, who is liable to explode at the latest twitter storm. >> hey, indianapolis, you ready for a political revolution? >> while those three were speaking last night, a very candid moment in

not about creating jobs, not about anything proactive for america but lee harvey oswald and ted cruz'sather. that scares so many republicans. we see so many off base terrible things to be talking about that aren't true that benefit no american voter. >> i asked -- we asked bennett and they want ted cruz to win the general. do you think you need ted cruz to win? >> i think conservatives and moderate republicans alike have to come together and support the presumptive or the republican nominee. >> what is he doing pushing the lee harvey oswald thing? >> it was an article in the paper. i have no idea. look, it's something he was actually asked about. he wrote about it in the original interview. regardless of that. the party has to come together otherwise they're going to face eight or four more years of hillary clinton. she has, in my opinion, the tougher position. her unfavorables are five points behind donald trump. donald trump has to prove he's substantiative. she has to prove she's not hillary clinton. >> let me say -- >> we're talking about the democratic race in a second. we have to

this morning when donald trump accused ted's father rafael of being in league with harvey oswa oswald. >> i'm going to do something i haven't done for the entire campaign for those of y'all who have traveled with me all across the country, i'm going to tell you what i really think of donald trump. this man is a pathological liar. he doesn't know the difference between truth and lies. he lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. >> reporter: the language from ted cruz much more strident than it has been even in recent days. if you look at what happened on the eve of the primary here in indiana, gretchen, ted cruz had an event last night where he had a few hundred people. the room was probably one-third empty, whereas donald trump had a big event in south bend, indiana. he had at least a couple of thousand people in there before the fire marshal shut the doors and said to the hundreds of people waiting outside you can't come in. donald trump certainly looks like he went into today with a lot of momentum. >> what does donald trump need to do to try and seal the deal? >> re

his father was with lee harvey oswald prior to oswald being shot. the whole thing is being ridiculous. >> reporter: rafael cruz himself responding. this audio, an nbc exclusive. >> this is nuts. yes, my dad killed jfk, he is secretly elvis and jimmy hoffa is buried in his backyard. >> reporter: through it all, today cruz again refusing to answer whether he supports trump as the gop nominee. >> hallie, you've asked -- >> if you say he's a pathological liar and you say -- >> hallie, you've asked one already. >> reporter: trump's aides say they're focusing more on hillary clinton starting tomorrow. bracing for a loss tonight, but unless it's devastating, watch for cruz to stay in this race. why? aides arguing donald trump could still drop the ball on the goal line, and that if republicans need a hail mary, cruz should be there to deliver. >> hallie jackson, thanks. >>> hillary clinton isn't in indiana tonight. instead setting her sights on the general election, unleashing new attacks on donald trump in an interview with nbc news. a likely preview of th

what was he doing with lee harvey oswald shortly before the death -- before the shooting? >> i cannot believe i need to say the follow, here goes, there is no corroborated evidence that ted cruz's father ever met lee harvey oswald or any other presidential assassin. we, in the media, don't talk about it because there's no evidence of it. there is contrary evidence, well of about the picture was taken, raphael cruz's sister was brutally beaten by castro forces and raphael cruz denounced the regime. any suggestion that cruz's father played a role in the kennedy assassination is ridiculous. and, frankly, shameful. now that's not an anti-trump position or a pro-cruz position. it's a pro-truth position. cruz, for his part, is in the middle of two the work weeks of the campaign, having been clobbered in primaries, not to mention having made campaign missteps. today, went after donald trump in his harshest remarks to date. >> list. donald trumps a serial philanderer and he boasts about it. this is not a secret. he's proud of being a serial philanderer. i want everyone to think ab

his father was with lee harvey oswald prior to oswald being shot. the whole thing is ridiculous.hat is this? nobody even brings it up. >> you know that was just yesterday. this is all fresh meat. joining me is the hardball round table. tim, every once in a while i get the feeling the door has been slammed in this guy's face. he can be president of the united states and that's another day in the life of donald trump. >> i think every step along the way a lot of pundits said this can't happen. when the field became smaller he would be eliminated on the contested convention would eliminate him. >> the way we look at things in popular culture, do we just dismiss everything. it's like every ten minutes it doesn't matter what happened ten minutes before. >> i don't know. we have a memory for day, two days. >> part of it is just the jujitsu that donald trump was done that was referenced earlier. he's able to quickly pivot off these nefarious statements. i think we the media, need to take a critical look at how we dealt with donald trump and the statements he's made that have not -- >> w

. >> you know, his father was with lee harvey oswald prior to oswald being, you know, shot. i mean, the whole thing is ridiculous what is this right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings this up. >> this is nuts. this is not a reasonable position. this is just kooky. while i'm at it i guess i should admit, yes, my dad killed jfk and he's secretly elvis and jimmie hoffa is buried in this is backyard. >> trump is citing an unsubstantiated report, and not anything nbc news has ever reported, reported in the "national enquirer," an ancient photo, trump throwing a bomb, what he likes to do. is that what we will see if he becomes the general election? >> if that is the standard trump uses to talk about the clinton, oh, my goodness. based on one national "national" story, a photo showing someone with lee harvey oswald. you might think he might be coasting and let off the gas, this is his style. what do republicans think of their national nominee citing the "national enquirer" like this? >> ever since its came out of paul manafort, that he would start behaving more preside

prior to oswald's being, you know, shot.hing is ridiculous. what is this right prior to his being shot and nobody brings it up and they don't even talk about that and that was reported and nobody talks about it, but i think it's horrible. >> the most troubling part of it, i think is when trump accuses the press of covering up this horrible family secret. later in the day cnn's jake tapper fact-checked him on that. >> we in the media don't talk about it because there's no evidence of it. so any suggestion that cruz's father played a role in the kennedy assassination is ridiculous and, frankly, shameful. that's not an anti-trump position or a pro-cruz position. it's a pro-truth position. >> tell me if you agree. i think it's pretty unusual to see something like that on tv, but it shouldn't be because by re-tweeting false information or repeating what he reads on obscure websites trump represents a unique challenge for the press. before we go further, let's be honest, trump is far from the only politician who tells exaggerated

>> they have pictures they say looks kind of like rafael cruz with lee harvey oswald. who was like passing out leaflets in new orleans in '63, a few months before he obviously shot and let's remember that the government around the warren commission and everyone else said it was one guy, lee harvey oswald. no other co-conspirators. >> i've been told if trump gets elect elected, i'll be in charge of finding big foot. >> now he what this is all about? >> lying rafael cruz. >> you think that trump believes that? this was his fun mol to have cocktail to throw of a ted cruz. >> this is guise we've seen ted cruz, donald trump use a lot. i'm not saying, people have just said to me. >> donald trump is a socialite in new york city for all of his life. having relations with tabloids there is probably good business. >> having a good social life and being a socialite can pay off. but you know -- and also the inquirer has had to walk back a lot of stories, like john edwards, not. >> i take about half of what they say to be true. >> that much? wow. >> greg, cross them off the list. >
