this was winthrop rockefeller, the brother of nelson and david rockefeller, but he was a great war hero the youngest of the brothers. he'd been involved in some scandal, bobo rockefeller in the '50s i'd billion reading about. but a great fellow. and that was my first introduction to the rockefellers in that campaign. and the second was, and you may know the name pat hillings who was a congress man out here. and hillings traveled with us. we got to oregon during this campaign, and hillings comes up to me and, of course, i was a goldwater man, and my views of nelson rockefeller just -- it's hard to describe how harsh they were.

nixon had some trouble with the rockefellers. let me tell you one story from the campaign of '66. we were in fort smith, arkansas, and nixon got up, and he had a press conference and did an event for john paul hammer schmidt who eventually was the one guy who beat bill clinton for congress, or bill clinton -- yeah, i think, no, was it his first race? yeah, i think he beat bill clinton. but anyhow, we're in fort smith, and nixon goes to the motel, and it's a rectangular thing. it's on the inside, but it's only one story. and so nixon's got this room here, and he says i do not want to be disturbed, i've got to nap. i've got a big speech tonight, i don't want anybody to disturb me. i said, you got it, and i went down and mosesed around my own room. i saw this huge fellow marching straight across the quadrangle of this motel straight toward nixon's door. and he was yelling, hey, dick! hey, dick! to mr. nixon, you know, who's sleeping. so i started running, and i didn't get there in time. and this guy is pounding on the door, and the door opens and richard nixon let him in. i thought,

divesting from gun stocks and from gambling stocks, from casinos, from certain drug stocks so the rockefellersren't the first, they most likely won't be the last. what kind of impact does it snake the reality is that wall street is in this to make money and the reality is, a lot of that money is in big business, including big oil, carol. >> allison kosik, sally kohn, i appreciate it. still to come in the newsroom, prosecutors take another crack in the murder conviction in the so-called loud music trial. good morning alina. >> michael dunn is back in court for the start of his second murder trial and one legal expert says it could come down to one thing. i've always loved exploring and looking for something better. that's the way i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the r

that's the most shocking thing. >> let me ask you about the rockefeller announcement, in terms of divment dent. >> i think it makes a huge dent. the roles we have to take responsibility, citizens and business and government. there needs to be harmony between those three sectors. so to get businesses coming forward and investors, coming forward, i love to see money moving out of those areas, but also around a sustainable economy that is in line with nature. we talk about growth, we judge company's success on growth, in nature it is not that simple. there's lots of different relationships. there's nthis continual growth. it will be interesting to change the way we look at things, change gdp, and include nature in that. why does gdp increase when we cut down trees or pollute rivers. we have to get accountability in the products and services and what they are doing to our planet and environment. >> i have to say someone who could'ves covers a lot of the debate, it was a shot in the arm to see half million people in the streets of new york city talking about the environment. a good day. it was

the rockefeller brothers fund is the most significant organization to join a campaign to reduce investmentsfossil fuels because of concerns about climate change. the announcement came on the eve of the u.n. climate change summit, which is taking place in new york today. >> reporter: the warnings get louder, but emissions keep on rising. the u.n. is pledging to curb the greenhouse gases that have warmed the atmosphere and made the seas more acidic. one solution may lie in future cities. an extra billion people will be moving into urban areas. a report says cities in developing countries must be densely built, like european towns. london's an example, public transport is clean. and you have to pay to drive in the center of the city. the suburban trains are massively improved, too. this line runs from the east of london, right out to the leafy suburbs of the west of london. it doesn't go anywhere near the central business district at all. but it's cheap, it's quick, and typically it's packed. but big infrastructure costs money. and rich nations haven't kept their promises to transfer finance t

the rockefellers, etc. you would have thought they would be able to do more with this.at is it that is stopping this process happening? what is it you want government to do? >> if you take foundations, in the united states there is $750 billion on foundation balance sheets including the rockefellers. fiduciary duties are not clear. it is not obvious whether a trustee of a foundation is able to invest in something which is going to deliver a social return as well as financial return. we think there are many cases where you can deceive -- achieve marked rates of return. there are some cases where it is in the interest of the foundation to achieve social objectives that deliver a somewhat lower return than a market return. we need to have clarification on fiduciary duties. the same thing applies to pension funds. there are many investments that achieve social good. in the long term, improve returns to pension funds. it is not clear to trustees that they are able to do this. help togovernment's create an enabling framework for this. we are not asking government for money. w

the people on the east coast, the rockefellers, they were famous because they have their name on everything. he hung out with those guys. he had connections with powerful men. were they close friends? i do not think so. businesswere acquaintances. >> we are in the formal dining room of the house, and it is the fanciest. the ceiling is covered with gold leaf, the wall covering his hand tooled in boston other -- embossed leather. has eight leaves in it, but has a total of 17 leaves that they could extend the full length of the room. ofy entertained all kinds roman people, but the most prominent was president william mckinley dined here one year before he was assassinated. there are a couple of hidden doors in the house. this is the first one. the goal doorknob is a giveaway. it used to be the there was no doorknob. if you see this little detail on the board work and there was a button in there. they would press the button and it would make the door spring open. it is a safe. there are two sais in the house but this one is called the silver ball and this is where y kept the $30,000 of tiffany

the price rockefeller exacted for nixon was a series of concessions in the party platform. called by critics the compact of a 5th avenue because rockefeller summoned nixon from chicago to his 5th avenue mansion or whatever to hear these terms. nixon capitulated. let me tell you something about the republican party. nixon still have to worry about his major political problem within the party coming from the left. the last time a republican nominee for president has had to worry about satisfying the left, liberal element of his party. certainly not by 1968 and not in the 21st century. >> i would like to follow-up on a question about george wallace and throwing the election into the house. there was a major effort in congress to pass a national popular vote amendment in the nixon administration and my understanding was nixon and john mitchell said pull the plug on it because the wall is voters, why do you think it happened? and why do you think we have not seen an effort to do anything about it cents? >> to choose the president with a popular vote? there was a serious effort i
