sam during those murders. how did he handle that morally and professionally? richardt questions because that was the mix of selling newspapers, they sold millions of copies and son of sam, his boss said, if we could have put the postage stamp in the paper to sell another 20, we would have. this is a guy who went to cornell and was a gifted reporter himself. jimmy normally had hours to write, but son of sam, he had days to think about that letter. what he wrote, he wrote to son of sam. he was responding to the letter. that was professional and profound. and then there was, turn yourself into me. that was the buffoon and the comedian. you read that and you go, this is what people say tabloids are bad. what he was saying is people say this is why tabloids are good. we are telling stories to working people. he w a mix of the professional, the profane, and sometimes the buffoon. he was larger than life. someone once said, jimmy breslin was in a movie produced by jimmy breslin, starring jimmy breslin, and the rest of us were just characters in the movie. that is how he view

sam giacana. >> what went on in illinois with richard a.by 8100 votes and in texas where it was rampant fraud with paper ballots. it was pretty dramatic. kennedy, you're right. there was some stuff on the republican side and maybe if they had a full investigation kennedy would have won in the end. but if nixon had been able to flip just illinois and texas, he ends up being president instead of jack kennedy. >> let's just drill down a little more on that. there's so many parallels was willie noted from the election now with the accusations of the election being rigged. take us behind the scenes why did nixon make a different choice than trump and not pursue and say hey, this isn't on the up and up, why didn't he concede? >> well, it may be the pat buchanan issue, hey, we've got dirt laundry ourselves. two, you got to remember, it's the height of the cold war. and the idea that you're going to contest an election and take it to the courts and the country won't know who the president is more months when you've got nikita grew shev ahead of the

richard nixon and jack kennedy. it's filled with the mob getting involved to help the kennedys kennedy is kind of a love triangle with what the head of the chicago mob, sam g, and giancana, frank sinatra's and had fidel castro's in the story. but in addition, it struck i made that there was tremendous relevance to 2020. and what we're going through right now because it really turns 2020 on its head. that was an election that really may. i'm not going to say it was, but may have been stolen and richard nixon, hardly a hero in american history, decided in the end to do the right thing. which was not to contest the election and to engage in the peaceful transfer of power. >> yeah, it makes you think of nixon's legacy a little bit differently as you read the steps that he's taken, what he certainly could have done and the other interesting part to me was you talk about how that really became the modern era of politics that we see with televised aides that people were watching. and it made me think of the televised debates that, that we're watching now, or maybe not many more, you want hosted a presidential debate in the last election. obviously that was why
