they asked rick white's mother if they could speak to him. >> is richard home? peak with him. >> what's this all about? >> investigators found the garage behind the whites' home in ruins. >> there was one victim inside the building along with a dog, a large dog. >> the victim had been decapitated. a driver's license found on the work bench identified him as richard white. >> we did not know if we had a victim or a suspect. >> but that question was answered as investigators sifted through the rubble. >> there were parts of bombs in there, in the process of being made, and tools, wiring, all kinds of things that you could use to make pipe bombs. circumstantial evidence would indicate that he intended to kill himself to avoid having to talk to the police. >> next to white's body was his german shepherd dog. it matched the description of the dog given by the witness near the first bomb site. >> he was obviously clutching the bomb close to his body, and he had his one friend in the world there with him, his other arm around his dog. >> also in the garage, investigator

finally, i would say that one of the myths is that richard nixon's public treatment of his wife in the whitehouse years was reflection of their private relationship. people often comment on the fact that when they were out in public doing political events he would be off here, she would be off there. people wanted a couple to be holding hands and be like this. that's not how they operate. richard nixon saw the political arena as an arena, and he was not interested invulnerability or showing intimacy. he was interested, and pat was, too, in the publishing what they had to accomplish. there were times when the secret service agents wondered, why did they not talk to each other on the helicopter? why did they go for walks and seem not to talk? richard nixon debate very strongly that there was emotional, chemical, almost mystical aspect to a relationship that could be felt deeply between the two partners, even if they weren't talking. i think that's a very important explanation of what's going on. people who are close to them saw them as playful with each other. they nag each other. they joked a

massaging the stick man and people who fetishizing guns it started when richard nixon manipulated white people angry at the civil rights movement in his one thousand nine hundred sixty eight presidential campaign he called it the southern strategy it was perfected when ronald reagan gave the first speech of his one nine hundred eighty campaign for president of the united states in philadelphia mississippi the place where three civil rights activists were murdered in the one nine hundred sixty s. them in the movie mississippi burning about it and at that speech he told people at a county fair that he believed in states' rights. as marge r. and c. chairman reince priebus promised that his party would try to make itself more appealing to women and minorities era scandals and politically incorrect freakouts the most recent over coca-cola ad of all things shows that the republicans are still embrace in the southern strategy. it's won them elections for decades and unless racism suddenly disappears or massage or sexism fill in the blanks it's going it will continue to win the elections for ye

i've also talked to todd richards, who is nbc's snowboard analyst, who said that shaun white is actually. he wasn't a gold medal contender in slope style. richard said at best, white was looking at maybe a silver, maybe a bronze medal. so he wasn't terribly surprised that white has decided to opt out of slopestyle and go to half pipe. >> and what about the poor jamaican bobsled team. their gear didn't get loaded on the plane. they missed some of the trials. there's been so much interest in supporting their efforts. so what's going to happen? >> reporter: i know. they're here, their gear is not. they had the crowd-funding effort to pay their way here, and they are just trying to figure out what to do with their gear. so that's one of the problems facing the olympians. for some of the reporters here, the hotels have been an issue. not all the hotels are complete. i'm happy to tell you the hotel that we're staying in here, it is complete. they have been lovely to us. we have hot water. we have hot food. we have a roof over our head. the biggest problem we had is that there weren't garbage c

i know, richard, you'll stay all over this. kristen welker at the whiteotified or any of the national security officials? >> reporter: -- that president obama has been notified. at this point the white house won't say one way or another. we know he's of course traveling in east lansing, michigan, but one official with the nsc tells me they are monitoring this situation closely. they are in contact with the turkish gocvernment. as you know, the white house is quite cautious before they respond to this type of an incident, before they put out a statement. so i think we're waiting to make sure they have all their facts straight before they respond. i would be surprised if president obama hasn't been notified. he's traveling with white house press secretary jay carney. so, again, we're just waiting for confirmation about that, waiting for any potential statement the white house might put out. to richard's point, this obviously did cause concern. senior administration officials monitoring this situation closely. >> kristen welker, thanks so much. of course the

women, two black women, one asian, four white men, one hispanic. richard, what impact does this have? >> the racial makeup has less of an impact than whether the fear factor. and i think the african-american women are going to see this differently than the white jurors. the truth is when you're sitting at a gas station and hear loud music from a car and look over and see four youth, there's a large portion of the white population that does have fear and expectation. and it's whether that is driving this or not. whether they think that jordan davis was the agrgressor or whether michael dunn was. it has to do with perspective. that's why i would be interested -- i know there's a lot behind the closed doors done in jury selection as to how jurors, what their attitudes were about guns, about stand your ground and what these jurors thought about the zimmerman verdict. that's more determinative because their race absolutely doesn't form that perspective, but it's really their life experiences and their fundamental believes and attitudes that's driving this jury

it's very interesting how the food consumption and electricity in the white house have this huge impact on state dinners. >> richard, a quick question, if the grant administration had 52 course meals, how effective were ?hey >> out nicely were passing legislation about nutrition. making it worse of course in the pope white house, -- in the polk white house, there was no wind to wash it down. water witha lot of those 48 courses >> johnny is watching in el paso. >> a very interesting program. i'm going to miss it, too. i noticed you touched on some families who had multiple members of the family and so forth. with thewondering partisan attitude today, if someone tried to bring in more than save for members of the family, you would probably have all type of arguments. more importantly, michelle obama, i know she had some andes with her alma mater, i know she has never gone back .o do any of those graduations i will hang up and listen. >> i was thinking about the roosevelt administration, with -- couldarious something like that happened today, richard? because don't think so, -- you think of the guests, lyndon johnson

white house. hillary wanted richard holbrook after deputy secretary of state. the obama administration did not agree because it would have put too much power in the state department. hillary did not have a major brief. what she did mainly was to make friends and try to undo the damage that had been done by the bush administration in alienating allies and exacerbating enemies. >> president obama took over the economy, all of the focus of that presidency was on the economy. the press was paying attention was what going on domestically. >> philadelphia. >> will she win the presidency? yes or no? >> david answered that earlier. >> i was hoping the packers would win the super bowl. i am interested in the results, but i know no more than you or anyone else. >> on twitter -- does hillary have any interests or hobbies outside of politics? >> she is primarily -- she really does not like to exercise. she does not play any instruments. she says she cannot sing. i am not sure what else he likes to do. she does not like to do her hair, i can tell you that. she cannot do it

richard nixon famously said you know we're going to we're going to pick up the white races in the south that l.b.j. left behind when he signed the civil rights act called the southern strategy. ronald reagan's first speech after he was nominated to be president in one thousand nine hundred his first speech was in philadelphia mississippi where three civil rights workers were murdered and it was almost entirely about states' rights which we all know what that's code for and and we're now seeing this wave of voter suppression you know voter id laws all across the country is that is the republican party actually committed to repudiating as the democratic party largely did i mean the democratic party was very racist party as a up until that up until the early sixty's it was the place where the races suddenly started it's why the south was oh yes i did want to be democrats had heard the head of the k.k.k. brother or jane he sure did that and robert byrd never repudiated that in fact he went on fox news which by the way didn't exist for most of his life and used the term nigger white to refer

white america at the time. they trigger another round of outrage against the violent richard duchenne and people write to congress just as they had done with soma. they sympathize with james meredith and some of the documents came across into the feelings of the race and asking them for advice. the civil rights movement has been a major news story to the mac spent they continue that liberal trend. because of something like the riot into the controversy of the moynihan report we are starting to see the language of the backlash it was in 1966 that some are sort of increasingly alienated i think blacks are moving too fast into the achievement has achieved what it should be achieve which is the opposite. there are plenty of white marchers who decide we want to join the march often times people with religious organizations in the catholic church or long-time activists. it's their only experience and they decided they were going to come into something they had to be a part. they talk about huge swaths of people you see everything in the political spectrum in the responses. the civil rights activists say we have been fi

white house is thinking about killing an american citizen without any evidence. they were being released without evidence presented to a jury which is what judge richard spirit is what the basics of it than in the military the only reason why they're worried about it is the blowback and you're right after the last time they did this there was a blowback people were shocked they said how can my government kill me it doesn't matter where i am or what i'm doing i have in alienable rights they don't come from the government they are in alienable rights and i think the result of that was they they made a rule where they said the cia isn't allowed to kill people anymore now it has to be the military and that was supposed to be the fix we're not supposed to worry about well in the rationale was that a you're only killing people on a battlefield and then then you're operating out of the terms of war rather than that but now here we are a year later in the exact same president. is apparently looking for a way around his own rule what kind of precedent is that set well and what does it say about war i mean apparently we're still operating under the authorization to use milita

richard. >> kerry, talk about how the community is reacting now that we're in the verdict phase. we have, again, a black teenager that was killed. we have michael dunn, who is whiteg now that we're in the verdict stage? >> reporter: well, it's no short sense to say that people here are waiting on edge to see what's going to happen. not as if they think there's going to be some sort of violent reaction, but that there are people watching this very closely because they want the sense that there is justice here. here is a 17-year-old boy inside a car, by all indications every piece of evidence presented in this case there was never a gun, there was no evidence of a weapon ever pointed. the only person who ever said that he saw one was that of the accused here, michael dunn. and so he unloaded a pistol, ten shots into a car, several of which actually hit the victim here and killed him. and so the community is wanting to know, you know, is there in their sense sort of an unarmed -- i mean an open season on just if you feel threatened, you can take a gun and shoot, even at a car where, again, the police found no weapon and no evidence of a weapon. there have been some

richard nixon's marriage against him. people can disagree with his policies, they can disagree with his politics, and they can disagree with the way he used or abused power in the white house. but leave his marriage alone. it was one of the great accomplishments of his life. and i think today we should celebrate the qualities in that marriage, the loyalty, the persistence, the sense of adventure and curiosity. and high purpose. and the willingness to forgive each other and to move through dark periods. the nixons always said that when they had difficult times, rather than fight, they moved apart for a while. and then they came back together. so, let's celebrate these qualities, and finally issue just want to say in closing, that the nixon marriage, with strengths and weaknesses, reinventing itself in crisis after crisis, endured in public life, for half a century. their story is central to our story, and is emblematic of the american, story. thank you very much. [applause] >> chris matthews is the host of "hard ball. " he recalls the working relationship between ronald reagan and tim o'neill. he says despite the political differences between the speaker and president

richard branson. we will talk about whether he thinks you should legalize pot or not. ♪ >> this week a bipartisan group of house members sent a letter to the white that the president, quote, instruct attorney general holder to delist or classify marijuana in a more appropriate way. lawyermakers are hope to change legislation in states where medical marijuana is legal, so they can deduct business expenses and receive tax credits, because right now they can't. they pay the federal tax, but they can't actually get a single deduction. richard branson is passionate about the decriminalization of drugs and he thinks this could be a game-changer for the industry. listen to my interview with him earlier. >> there is a global drug commission, and on the global rugs commission we have 15 ex- heads of state, and the drug commission studied the war on drugs over the last 60 years and have come out with very strong statements to say that the war on drugs has been an abject failure. if you have policies that fail, you should change tact. we've looked at countries which have taken a different approach, like port gal. portugal has not sent anyone to prison for

richard nixon in the '50s and you mentioned something about him pushing them out. without exception the men that had been with him in the '50s he pushed away from him when he got to the white house, and he brought close to him younger people. enjoyed having younger people around him. younger people he could mold and shape. and a lot of the trouble that arose was that these younger people were willing to do what he wanted them to do. whereas the older people, the numbers we interviewed, wanted to say no, don't do this. what i'm wondering is, why would he push away the people from the eisenhower period, who might have been a very healthy and mature influence on him when he becomes president? >> guest: he would push away people from the early nixon period. the saddest thing. i talked to a man named don hughes, air force general. wonderful man 0, who had been nixon's militated and loved nix -- military aide. he resigned before watergate, and he said, things were changing you cooperate get -- orders would come down, why there is no catsup, why is this steak overdone? come from hadderman or a deputy but clearly from nixon, and he felt this horrible atmosphere, and they all clear

richard? >> one of the other odd things about the stimulus which is not being talked about is how much the whitee of a white house designed bill with specific things designed to generate employment, rebuild infrastructure and so forth, but it wasn't. that, to me, is something that's still insplexplicable years lat. why would you essentially hand it over to the congressional will leadership and say, okay now, over to you. >> good question. >> it simply didn't make sense then. five years later i think it was one of the strategic errors of this president. >> where we were as a country then, unified voice of electing president obama into office at that time and also taking back both houses of congress at that time. we saw the backlash come 2010 and how things reversed to be a more divided government. but when it comes to healthcare, the stimulus and trying those heavy lifts as mika has pointed out, we know that healthcare has been vetted continuously through the american people, through the supreme court. but when it comes to the stimulus, it is, i guess, still remains to be seen exactly how well it

richard nixon. he said, i'm not going to cooperate with your effort to target your enemy. or he can serve political masters over in the whiteulations that will erode our most fundamental civil liberties, regulations that would almost certainly lead to the harassment of sceiviv conservative groups d quite possiblil possibly the haf liberal groups in the future. unions in particular have a lot to fear from this proposal. so, look, now's the time to act. america's free speech advocates are standing up with one voice. thousands upon thousands made their voices heard in the opinion process. millions more, i suspect, are right there with them in spirit. some who oppose this rule picked the president in the last election. some voted for his opponent. some may have even cast a ballot for another person entirely. but p what unites us is our love of the liberties that have allowed americans to disagree civilly for centuries. commissioner, do the right thing. stop this regulation. now, mr. president, on another issue, later today the senate will vote on motions related to s. 1982, a bill that was not considered in committee, greatly e

richard engel is live in kiev, thank you. joe? >> david gregory, what do we do in this situation? what are you hearing in washington? what are you hearing from the whiteespond getting our allies together to somehow figure out how to take care of this man and, again, i go back to it. it's not just barack obama who has been there. you were there and you were covering the white house when george w. bush made his infamous remark about this guy we just can't get our arms around politically. >> no. president bush was able to rely on putin because after 9/11, he had his back on terrorism and that actually, the administration policy gave putin something after pass in check knee ya and that was defined by 9:00. you're not hearing a lot from the white house or the administration on what the stakes are in ukraine and what the vision of the united states is. what are the priorities of the united states? yes, we have heard the president talk about consequences if somebody steps over the line. i'm not sure what that means. we have heard the secretary of state, you know, condemning the attacks. but as you said before, this is not all or nothing. it's not like the u.

richard nixon's marriage against him. they can disagree with his policy or politics or the way he used their views of the white house believe the marriage of love. it was one of the great accomplishments of his life. to debris should celebrate the quality of that marriage, the loyalty, persistence, a sense of the adventure and curiosity and high purpose. the willingness to forgive each other to move through a dark periods. nixon said when they had difficult times rather than fight they would move apart then come back together. so let's celebrate these qualities. finally, the nixon marriage rife with strengths and weaknesses cover reinventing itself in crisis after crisis into word in public life for half a century. their story is central to our story and is emblematic of the american story. thank you very much.
