rockefeller. and so in -- john d. rockefeller. and so in telling that story, i actually get to the heart of the real problem that we face in today's day and age, a problem that defines our current policy debate. and it is traveling the country and talking with folks from the atlantic to the pacific, especially around the oil industry, the revitalizedded oil industry of the united states. and it is this. there is a question, and it is an unsolved question in the american body politic and it is a question that "breaking rockefeller" wades into. and that is, do you need just the courts to protect you against monopolists? is the supreme court and the federal government alone enough to protect us? i argue in "breaking rockefeller" that the answer to that question is, no. that you actually have to have both the shield of federal regulation represented by the courts and the sword of competition. you actually have to have both competition and protective regulations in order to protect consumers from companies that would otherwise just tak

turns out, rockefeller was not a rich man. rockefeller was an incredibly wealthy man. when you do the calculations it turns out he was worth $357 billion by today's calculations. by comparison the richest human being on the planet today, bill gates is worth around $80 billion. so compared to the blazing fire of rockefeller and bill gates has a smoldering amber. this was the accomplishment of his life. and in looking at how rockefeller systematically collected that wealth, in the process, not only took his company known as standard oil into becoming the largest refinery in the oil business. standard wasn't even the largest oil company in a sense in the oil business. standard at the peak of his power was the oil business. and that is when the story begins and breaking rockefeller for that is the moment in 1889 when rockefeller is essentially the king of broadway. he has created a luxurious headquarters for himself on 26 broadly. you can still go there today and at the top of broadway, rockefeller ran one of the largest oil production refining and distribution companies i

nelson rockefeller. in many ways, the politics of oil working its way into the politics of the republican party. rising importance of the oilmen on the domestic front. when chaos disrupts globally and disrupts american abilities to extract oil from abroad, domestic reserves in alberta and alaska offshore are all going to become much more important, raising the importance of the independent oilmen. that is what we are going to see in the economics of this. the oilsands project will continue to develop. a total of 178 billion barrels estimated at that point. as we mentioned earlier, this is the keystone pipeline, which is still very much a hot button issue for us, designed to take oil from the athabasca fans, down to the gulf coast. this is a long-term vision and there will be a much more involved culture war of politics in the 1970's in which family values and fuel values are all going to combine to intensify and polarize the american political landscape. ok, this is bringing us to the end. we will have t

he saw what rockefeller should do. he als rockefeller. he saw what rockefeller should do. he also saw what nixon should do. lyndon johnson would have been, may be the greatest campaign manager in history if that's what he decided to do with his life. he might have been the greatest democratic party version may give watch roger ailes eventually became, someone who got people elected president and then someone who eventually figured out how to message all of this through as roger ailes did eventually through foxnews. lyndon johnson was an obsessive kind of backroom strategist who also had to be a candidate and he was better at the backroom peace than he was with onstage piece. >> host: was he active in the humphrey campaign in the paula 68? >> guest: he was and he wasn't. he was distressed by it. there were times when you are watching this kind of movie unfold as it feels like i was writing a movie of this campaign where you say, right now today does linden what nixon to one or humphrey to win, today right now tomorrow it might be different. he's a hugely temperamental man.

rockefeller says well, indeed it was. and he's okay with the carnage as long as it was led by the blacks are about the blacks. i know some of the survivors have not been able to read the full book. it's too much.uestions >> i want to ask a few more questions and then how people start to come down if there interested in asking questions.r you said this book started out as a silver its history. can you talk about how -- will talk more about how we think about the story in terms of the trajectory of mass incarceration, but talk about it as part of the history of struggles against white supremacy and racial inequality and civil rights history.s a ci do you still think of it as a civil-rights story? >> i do. there's no question that everyone inside of attica, both black and white and brown, ju understood that this is not just about incarcerating people come about racial subjugation. you cannot understand the brutality of this retaking without understanding this in racialized terms. not to mention that they were being made to d

rockefeller, new york state.so what would you say to today's resistors here and all around the world, for example, there's a strike going on right now at prison and i urge everybody to support that, but thank you. >> thank you for that. yeah, i think that what that period of the 60's and 70's shows that ordinary human beings when they stand together can change policies, culture and ideas but it has to have extraordinary face and imagination that change can happen. i think sometimes young people have no faith anymore that change can happen so it probably starts with having that faith that, you know, this is not permanent, we don't have to -- nothing the permanent anyway. everything changes so let's make sure it changes in a very more humane and progressive direction, but what attica shows us, though, and tell our own history, get the stories straight because if you allow people to tell the media, the press what happened and it isn't correct, if it isn't true, then you'll have a generation turn against this generat

administration had had a series of secret meetings and rockefeller's pool house. you can't make this stuff up. it was over a course of three weekends with the head of the state police, the people who had retaken attica, the attorney general's office and basically i think to get their stories straight, so i found that document and that document revealed they knew they would kill cost-- kill hostages when winning, which they denied for 40 years and reveals they deliberately did not give an ultimatum to men before they went in and i found the whistleblowing document. there was a prosecutor, and incredibly important hero of this story, malcolm bell who could see that he was trying to prosecute police and he was being blocked every turn and he finally pieces together the reason why he's being shut down and he's ultimately just shut down is because rockefeller is sitting in nomination hearings for the vice presidency and that's when the whole thing shuts down and so he wrote in 167 page document that outlines all of the evidence that the state had that it did not act on

i think we have a rockefeller spy the rockefeller spy would on to be a strategist for the greatest politicalof the 20th century, richard nixon and a speechwriter for one of the greatest communicators of all time, ronald reagan. [applause]. >> i've been on a tour of the library now that frank gannon and others have really fixed it up and it was the first time i've seen it and i will say for the folks out here on the c-span audience everyone here, having worked with the old man eight and a half years, shall he worked even longer with him, that you can't watch that film without having your heart torn out. its thing that this. i barely got through it. you ought to see it. let me talk now about the nixon and what was in the book, "nixon's white house wars: the battles that made and broke a president and divided america forever" kent has listed what was going on back in the 60s, so let me begin around 1968, the year before richard nixon took office. we took off january 31, ford new hampshire 1968. romney had been in the race for a couple of months not doing well. we flew to new hampshire and i rem

with rockefeller's $79 million investment, modern williamsburg became colonial williamsburg. by the end of the initial era of restoration rockefeller had , demolished or removed 720 buildings and reconstructed or restored hundreds of others to achieve a single colonial visual narrative throughout the town. rockefeller's unprecedented purchase and his power over the physical and historic landscape of williamsburg prompted one shocked resident to declare, my god, they stole the town. it's a really cute poem they wrote. williamsburg is, of course, a unique example of historic preservation in public memory. but the deliberate way in which rockefeller approached the task is instructive, as we seek to understand the more complicated negotiations around identity-making elsewhere. in salem, there is no unified visual narrative. the city's first period history exists alongside impressive structures from its time as a wealthy port city, massive warehouses from when it was an industrial powerhouse, and the homes and businesses of people from the modern era. the choice of which aspects o

and that was followed thin by nelson rockefeller supposed to get in he got out of the race.nd then began what we call crazy march. gene mccarthy won 42% of the vote against lbj people don't remember. lbj was a write-in and didn't have his name on the ballot i don't know what political intellect thought that u. anyhow mccarthy got 42 to lbj49 and next right after that happened we wanted, of course, a landslide. right after that happened bobby kennedy in the senate went to the senate -- it same senate room where jack declared for president. declared for the nomination and around march 17th few day after new hampshire. and then -- richard nixon had had me at the end of -- at end of march -- had had me waiting at an airport laguardia to report on him on what lyndon johnson said on his speech when vietnam because we had canceledded our speech i'm waiting in that limousine, and i'm listening to and -- listening to -- lbj that's when he announced he wasn't going to run again. and he's out of the race all of a sudden. four days later, dr. king was shot to death in memphis. riot and

and rockefeller of course behaved badly and the president taken as vp. told him by 65 because i said the center of gravity of this party has shifted. so we have just seen a bunch of outsider conservatives. student types and types in california had taken of the republican party nationally. at the same time you are mr. republican. yet the center of the republican party locked up. if you can marry these conservatives to the center of the party, forget about the rockefeller win. he had to get these together, you have the nomination. this basically was a strategy nixon did not leave the liberals of the party but he did put together this coalition to keep reagan from coming against him successfully. and that won him the republican nomination. the woman got into the white house, the question was i recall is that it was 43 all. we were tied up at the end of the race with humphrey coming back. and so, we needed a strategy to build a majority. and so you have heard an awful lot about the southern strategy and there is no doubt there was a southern strategy. but th

answer that we have to go. >> reagan had no differences with rockefeller?. >> he had a lot of differences with them but in many ways reagan did not dispute those innovations that they supported to have problem with the expansions for what rockefeller advocated and with the treatment from mental health to have that states centered view of of world that the government is the arbiter and that is the collective action as the appropriate response to be very much opposed to the republican party but when eisenhower opposed the when nixon was called into question in 1860 i don't think fit the the id to those old categories of left and right. >> rockefeller is difficult because they were personal friends and they actually work together in 1968 to stop nixon from getting the nomination. >> here is the reagan discovery that i am so excited about and wanted to share with the rest of of world. thanks to c-span. on page 218 it reads reagan believed to deserve a certain minimal standard of living so long as you contributed according to your ability but on page 267 we read,
