people involved in that first attempt also donating to a one million or one million dollar bribe to richard nixon that is true in december seventy one five months before the first watergate break in in september sixty so twice they bribed the next twice they bribed nixon and that was first to stall an indictment of jimmy hoffa the teamster president in one nine hundred sixty in one thousand nine hundred seventy one some of the mob leaders wanted out of prison where he was imprisoned had been convicted and other mob leaders didn't back running the teamsters so it was a million dollars for nixon to personally approve the release of hoffa around christmas of nine hundred seventy one but with special conditions that would prevent him from having anything to do with the teamsters is that because the mob didn't feel that they could control some of the mobsters were worried they were much happier with frank fitzsimmons than then running the teamsters i should point this out too as we talk about who you know had a it was convicted of crimes and there were many allegations more allegations of corruption f

in the summer of 1967-68, richard nixon on the left would meet herbert hoover at the grove. that summer nixon was giving a big speech about hoover. what he wanted was to meet with reagan because reagan by now is actively seeking the 1968 nomination. beginning to contest some primaries and pick up delegates. has the right wing of the republican party completely won over. people like william f. buckley saying there's no one else to vote for except ronald reagan and here is the connection who thought he would have a stately walk and suddenly having to contend with the newcomer from california who he had met and just to go back in 1947 when he was a young congressman. they had corresponded through the early 1960s but by this time they are on opposite sides and as we found for about this story these men would be friends and sometimes rivals long before either of them reach the oval office. this is a picture most people probably can't time. right after nixon made his come back after watergate reagan is president and there's a great story between the two ofhem. when nixon becomes p

[cheers and applause] we offered richard nixon. he is a remarkable human being.is uniquely experienced in governments. he is immensely intelligent and talented. he reveres deeply and expresses thoughtfully the strengths of america and american ideals. he stands out in any group or person gathered together for a serious purpose. he does not get rattled. he is not merely experienced, on his experience and talents, i submit there is no man in america who could represent us in the turmoil of world politics and i include the soviet union and the rest of the communist empire as richard nixon could do. we have been in government for quite a while. we have been in congress together. he was in the house and i was in the senate. then he came to the senate. we were there together. we have had eight years together. he is a man that you like. you feel warmly about him. you enjoy being with him. some years ago, i am invited him to meet some of the representatives of foreign government at the united nations. he came into the room and there were men there from countries that all

it was he was making cohen who did the fundraiser for richard nixon where he brought all these bookies in and showed them that they were a lot of his hotel ballroom locked the doors he had all these books nixon's number one fixer strategists. and had an office in nixon white house but his brother they represented over two hundred bookies from a cohen nixon are there all these bookies are there and you know you guys aren't leave until we raise so much money for dick nixon dick nixon stands up and says a few words and gets the heck out of dodge and and they raise the money when he runs for the california senate he does the same thing and the other important thing here i mean there's so much important new bombshell information but it's so relevant to today because you know when we look at things like that wisconsin election i mean it's just the these techniques unlike those fake robo calls and anything you want to call campaign dirty tricks when you see candidates making outrageous claims against people like obama over their opponents those things all originated with richard nixon he perf

richard nixon on the left would meet herbert hoover at the grove. that summer, nixon was giving the big speech there about hoover. but when he really wanted to do was meet with reagan because lincoln by now is actively seeking the 1968 nomination. he's beginning to contest primaries, beginning to pick up delegates. he's got the right thing of the republican party completely won over. he's got people at all you must buckley featherstone also vote for in 1968. and he was nixon who thought he would have a stately walk to the nomination commit suddenly having to contend with this newcomer from california, who he had met, just go back, 1947 when he was a young congressman. they corresponded through much of the early 1960s, but by this time they're on opposite sides. as we find throughout the story of the friends and rivals even before it either of them reached the oval office. most people probably can't time, but right after nixon started made his comeback after watergate, reagan as president. and there's a great story between the two of them. he goes to

here is richard nixon's acceptance speech in august 1968. mr. chairman, delegates to this convention, my fellow americans, 16 years ago, i stood before this convention to accept your nomination as the running mate of one of the greatest americans of our time or any time like the eye sen showers. eisenhowers. eight years ago, i had the highest honor of accepting your nomination for president of the united states. tonight, i again proudly accept that nomination for president of the united states. but i have news for you, this time there is a difference. this time, we are going win! we are going to win for a number of reasons. first a personal one. general eisenhower as you know lies critically ill in the walter reid high hospital tonight. i have talked to mrs. eisenhower on the telephone. she tells me his heart is with us. she says there is nothing that he lives more for and there is nothing that would lift him more than for us to win in november and i say let's win this one for ike. we're going to win because this great convention has demonstrate

coming up richard nixon ronald reagan and even mitt romney's dad george released extensive information about their finances and wealth and not mitt what is mitt romney trying to hide and will his pirate capitalism come back to haunt him before november. mr. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. pepper spray that just burned gerard's right right i mean it's like a derivative of actual pepper it's a food product essentially. this is much stronger than anything if you buy a lot of sort of loses thousands of times we're stronger than any kind of ever put . into it only military mechanisms that do not work to bring justice or accountability. i have every right to know what my government should do if you want to know why i pay taxes. but i would characterize obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism. and it's time for tonight's the good the bad in the very very u

richard nixon may take the goal for an awkward moment during the convention. 1972.emind us of it. >> that was a time when sammy davis said, i'm happy you're president. i want you to be president in the future as well. he was president. those are the awkward moments that define a candidate in a way, his off the cuff remark and how they respond to it gives you an insight into how they were. they are always so guarded. this is the kind of thing being fun. richard nixon trying to be cool. >> we all know there's so many speeches during a conventions, short ones, long ones, bad ones, really, really long ones. remember how the audience cheered after bl clinton's long speech in 1998. >> don't you ever forget it. michael dukakis will never, ever, ever forget it. in closing -- [ cheers and applause ] >> that is so great. remember, as soon as he said in closing, you could hear the crowd erupt. >> that's a bronx cheer. as a comedian, if i go for my last set and cherg cheering. most of the time bill clinton is a good speaker. he is. that went for an hour. it was supposed to go 2

to richard nixon. -- go back to richard nixon. >> mitt romney wants states to decide on contraceptivewhy does he want them to decide on welfare? all of a sudden he is not a fan of states anymore. >> i am touched by my liberal colleagues defection for -- affection for state rights, it is new and welcome, but this is one area where you did not want states to exercise their independence and that is with the innovation of the law was in 1996. it made a hard work requirement. the success is undeniable. it cut the rolls by two-thirds. child poverty was reduced in half. liberals have always opposed it. they try to oppose it legislatively. they did not succeed, and now this by administrative fiat. that is not the way to do it. -- the ann romney tax return debate continues. -- the mitt romney tax return debate continues. >> this is not about me. mitt romney is the first presidential candidate since his father ran not to release his income-tax returns. >> he is basically lying about his statement and knowing something about mitt romney. >> in least senator gramm did not call senator harry reid

those who wanted to get rid of social security and unemployment insurance stupid even people like richard nixon who created the e.p.a. kept tax kept taxes on the rich above seventy percent but those few blips aside conservatism whether it's under the name of the republican party or not has always been a force trying to drag our nation backwards in nearly every instance in history conservatives have sided with the rich and powerful over the middle class with the c.e.o. over the worker with the health insurer over the sick with the oil baron over the environment in fact one has to wonder why anyone given the history of conservatism in america would proudly call themselves a conservative or republican for that matter todd akin may be the latest crazy to go on to become a republican u.s. senator but he's certainly not the first and the way things are going he won't be the last here it is tonight's daily take but i don't want to talk about conservatism the political ideology that is touted by today's republican party by corporate america and even by some democrats according to a recent poll by the p

devote their way was shocking it was considered bribery in one hundred fifty two when senator richard nixon was running for vice president democrats pointed out that he'd taken eighteen thousand dollars on one hundred fifty grand in today's money from some fat cat donors americans were so shocked by that allegation that nixon had to go on national television to address them it was a second most famous speech of all time right behind his i am not a crook speech as he tried to reassure americans that he would never ever cast a vote in a particular way or and rich him self because of his position as a senator. i'm sure that you have read the charge and you've heard but i senator next took eighteen thousand dollars from a group of my supporters let me point out and i want to make good particularly put that no contributor to the. no contributor to any of my. has ever received any consideration that he would not have received as an ordinary constituent i just don't believe in and i we also like to candidates who are average people or at least could understand average people harry truman for examp

by the way, that was certainly codified by richard nixon and every gop presidential candidate throughr. and bush jr. that's been a standard strategy going back 40, 50 years. >> but there's no indication that governor romney is in jeopardy of -- it's not as if some of those people in those red, red states are going to vote for president obama. and they may have been, i guess, their enthusiasm picked up with paul ryan who's certainly seen as a conservative, hits home on a number of issues, particularly with medicare and at least his early vision for how he would like to change the process. of the system. >> yeah, but tamron, you have to remember, you still, even though you're preaching to the choir, you still have to keep preaching to the choir. because remember, this is going to be a very close election. i don't think there's any question about that. you must have your base, but you also must energize and enthuse your base. this is not about percentages. this is about numbers. in other words, you've got to get the numbers out. so the south is the anchor, but remember, spinning out of t

that suggests in the end it was at worst a wash to go back to richard nixon. he certainly thought that in the end it may very well have worked to kennedy's advantage. there were any number of independent voters who did not want to be thought of as prejudiced anti-catholic repeating al smith's experience in 1928 the fact that the whole hormone issue has been such a non-issue 50 years later is a reflection on a culture that has changed profoundly. >> reporter: david, what about that? this idea of a president's religion, a candidate's religion how much of the american people evolved in their own need to be comfortable with that? >> we're just not a denominational people anymore. peach used to make tremendous differences between protestant methodist or protestant catholic protestant jew. we're not like that. there was a presidential race on the democratic side where you had a whole series of candidates almost all of whom had changed denominations at one point in their lives wes clark has changed, howard dean changed his religion because he didn't like his church's

but richard nixon, and one of the biggest landslides in hash of the united states, which meant most americans who voted in that election voted. yet when facts came out, laws were violated, the american people, including the overwhelming majority that supported richard nixon said congress can have to investigate. you have to have a special prosecutor. a loss have to be enforced no matter what. and in the in when the house judiciary committee acted on a bipartisan basis to vote for impeachment of richard nixon, the country overwhelmingly supported that verdict. and what did that tell us? that more important than any political party and more important than any president of the united states, and more important than any single person, and more important than any ideology, was a bedrock principle of the rule of law and the preservation of our constitution. and americans united on that theme, regardless of having voting just about a year and half before that but we are not talking about ancient history in that vote. people put behind them their own partisan views and said what is good for the count
