1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from coast to coast, AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: All right, William McKinley, it's interesting. It's like twenty years apart.

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: You've got first Lincoln in eighteen sixty five, sixteen years

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: later Garfield is assassinated, and then just what twenty twenty

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: years later, William McKinley, the twenty fifth president I believe,

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: is assassinated. This one takes place in Buffalo, New York.

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: Is it a the World's Fair? That's right, yeah, Pimberg

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: exposition right, all right, just walk us through what happened

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: leading up to his death, his murder.

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 3: So a little parallel that I was thinking about.

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 4: It said about Garfield, McKinley, and Jfka. If there was

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 4: not a second shot, all three of them would have

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 4: survived the assassination. So you have here with Garfield, we

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 4: talked about the fact that the first bullet misfires.

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: It happens again with McKinley.

16
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 4: Here's the same happens with the assassin here. So let's

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 4: kind of go through the many sins of what took

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 4: place here. So I mentioned that the exposition about flowence

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 4: May first, November first, nineteen oh one present visiting the

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 4: fairground from September fourth to the sixth, and he said,

21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 4: Temple of music.

22
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: And it's just.

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 4: After four o'clock reading the public and approaches the president.

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: We've got to public greeting him. In line is the

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: assassin Leon Schulgos. And he was an anarchist, a steel

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 4: worker who.

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 3: Lost his job recently. And if you look at.

28
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 4: My researcher on this, the book about this because of

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: slained the Truth today, you know, this is the book

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 4: I did before about you know this, this assassination.

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: That was jfk So actually did.

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 4: What about mckimney was she repought to kill mckimney. Kind

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 4: of makes that many books. But there are three things

34
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 4: about this that I think if you look at potential conspiracy,

35
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: the money trail, the crime scene, and what happens.

36
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: With the photographer.

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 4: So let's go with you know, money sholf for a cycle,

38
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 4: you know, deep Throat said with watergates. Now Lan Show

39
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 4: ghost comes to Buffalo August of nineteen oh one and

40
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 4: gets a rooming house West Seneca.

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: No one's out of money.

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 4: He tells that the proprietor he is that we're mine

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 4: to pay his rent. He leaves town and goes back

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 4: three days later.

45
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 3: No knows where he went.

46
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: The stack the fifties one hundred dollar bills he's flashing everywhere.

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: So he didn't have a job. Where do you got

48
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 3: all this money from?

49
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: That's not money back at that time periods produced one

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: hundred dollar bills. The most expensive gun he can sign,

51
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 4: and he also pays for a most expensive hotel.

52
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 3: By the way his gun. The advises to calvert Ava

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: Johnson Revolver.

54
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: And Ivor Johnson, Okay.

55
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 4: Cyber Johnson, and this gun's a great gun to use.

56
00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: It's very alive.

57
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: So the money trail had to get this money. They

58
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 4: much so much have paid him for this from the assassination.

59
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: Then we get to the crime scene and show Gosh

60
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 4: has a gun wrapped up in a handkerchief. He approaches

61
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: the president and in front of show Gosh is someone

62
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 4: the Secret Service calls the Italian. Italian seems a part

63
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 4: of the plot here, and they thought the same thing

64
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 4: at the time. The Italian was very close to shell Gush,

65
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: so Gus had the gun tucking in his back. They're

66
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: walking back to front the town was winning back forward

67
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: to hide the gun. And then when he gets to

68
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: the President. The Italian grabs McKinley's hand, turns him to

69
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: the left, does not let go for fifteen seconds, won't

70
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: let go of the President's hand, keeps shaking it, and

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: then this forces agents Foster Ireland to take him away

72
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: from the scene, and that opens up for a clear shot.

73
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: First one is a missfire, as I mentioned. Second one

74
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: pinetrates McKinley's chest and then eventually kills him.

75
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: So the Italian basically.

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 4: Does whatever he can to distract agents to move away

77
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: from He also disappears in those of where he went to.

78
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: I mentioned the photography too unusual as well, Still we

79
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: have Here's a photographer of the expedition was Charleshilvy Arnold.

80
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: He follows McKinley everywhere for days.

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 4: He starts out taking photographs and start falls and the fairgrounds,

82
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: and he even.

83
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: Is there minised for the assassin eging.

84
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 4: He takes photographs them to City Rhymes before the shooting.

85
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 3: The Temple of Music, but he doesn't go in.

86
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: Someone just doesn't let him go inside and take photographs,

87
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: or maybe he did take photographs and they were destroyed.

88
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 4: Either way, he should have been there taking photographs. He's

89
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 4: like the money shots you pick for their being, the

90
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: public and everything else.

91
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: So no force.

92
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: Right. He may he may have captured the assassination on film.

93
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: He may have taken a picture of this mysterious Italian man.

94
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's exactly what they would not have

95
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: wanted to happen.

96
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you think you have here.

97
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: Someone must have known ten minutes President gonna get shot.

98
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 4: No photographs are allowed. You don't want to know who

99
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 4: this guy was.

100
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: And once again we have the disappearing weapon, the disappearing

101
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: Ivor Johnson revolver, the gun that he was used to

102
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: kill McKinley mysteriously vanished.

103
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: What happened?

104
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: Well, you have here, just like with the goat, the

105
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 4: gatel gun is first given to the Buffet Peace Apartment,

106
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: like with the DC police apartments, and it disappears for

107
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: several years and ends up showing back up in buff

108
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 4: the Christian Museum.

109
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 3: Worries on display?

110
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 2: Now, sorry, where is it on display?

111
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: The Buffalo History Resum, his Buffalo's History Museum, the Buffalo

112
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 4: Museum of History.

113
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just on display there.

114
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 4: And if you know, we have a display, they can

115
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 4: see that it was the chains has got chained up

116
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 4: in the and the President is also on display there too,

117
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 4: and you can see the gun itself there on display.

118
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 4: And just like with the Gitow gun, that one gets destroyed,

119
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: so it's on display thankfully. But you do see, like

120
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 4: wan I mentioned two with the amnition when I mention

121
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: this as well, so.

122
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 3: We have with the.

123
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: The show ghost weapons, they did the same thing analyzing

124
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: their many bullets in the chamber and with the ge

125
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 4: Tow gun. Is that what they the show ghost gun.

126
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 4: Uh you usually Buffalo looked at the rest of the

127
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 4: chamber and wise the rest of the bullets and it's

128
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 4: a five shot gun. And to determine that two other

129
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 4: remaining bullets were short of their gunpowder load too, much

130
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 4: like with the Guiteo weapon. So this is and whies

131
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: By they say, Buffalo in the nineteen nineties, and they

132
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: found out that just like with the Garfie weapon, the

133
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 4: mckillley weapon was the same way mentioned before that we

134
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: do know that the first bullet did penetrate McKinley's chest.

135
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 4: Though the first plot was much like the other ones,

136
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: effective of their gunpowder.

137
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: Loans h and Shull goes by the assassin. McKinley's assassin

138
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: by all accounts became radicalized or became an anarchist seemingly overnight.

139
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: Do you think he was I don't know, brainwashed or

140
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: guided by shadowy figures, unseen handlers.

141
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, his influenced by a mc goldman, and you have

142
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: him going to meet with her in several occasions Chicago,

143
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 4: goes to Cleveland and meets with other anarchists. So he's

144
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 4: well known in their community that they definitely know who

145
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 4: he is, and he's He's not an intelligent person. He

146
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: graduated from high school. The prison's guard of the warden

147
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 4: said he was the most intelligent person he ever had

148
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 4: an aubern if he use to play games with the guards.

149
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: He was not this kind of lone crazed nut.

150
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: People have made him out.

151
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: To me.

152
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: He was very well.

153
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 4: Read, well spoken, and I think he would have been

154
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 4: the right person to do this job if you wanted

155
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 4: to hire him. He was very radicalized to them to

156
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 4: you know, get this job done, to see what he

157
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 4: did his duty as he said, and his confession.

158
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: So McKinley was a bit of I don't know if

159
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: I would have used the term isolationist, but some of argued,

160
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: you know, had he lived America may not have been

161
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: so interventionist, and of course we saw that start to

162
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: happen with the Row Well, his vice president was was

163
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 2: Teddy Roosevelt. So after McKinley dies, Roosevelt becomes president and

164
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: he's a little more let's say, his foreign policy a

165
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: little more adventurous.

166
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's very true. He Roosevelt ends up having much

167
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: more aggressive approach towards foreign policy, and like Panama Canal

168
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 4: for example, he becomes interested in the pressive movement.

169
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: He certainly does things.

170
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: Like trust busting and conservationism, and it is much more

171
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 4: an active president than McKinley would be on It would

172
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 4: have been on all those fronts.

173
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 2: But again, the I guess the question is had he lived.

174
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: Had McKinley lived, do you think that America would have

175
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: been less interventionist.

176
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think only would have been.

177
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: His policies were aligned with a lot of the wealth

178
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 4: or interests of the country. I think in nineteen ninety six,

179
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 4: you look at how he was elected with the backing

180
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 4: of Balkinsoy Morgan and Carnegie.

181
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: They funded his campaign for presidents.

182
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 4: He was certainly pro gold, pro tariff, you know, he

183
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 4: was pro strike breaking, and he was the classic Republican

184
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: pro business approach that I think it would have continued

185
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 4: into his second term. One of the things to think about,

186
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: brought about in the book too, is his wife Ida

187
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 4: was very ill and if possible, she may have died

188
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 4: in the second ary. He might have resigned the presidency

189
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: because he was really heaving a deed with her. She

190
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: almost died in the previous summer. In June, he had

191
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 4: a major stroke in San Francisco, so it's possible with

192
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 4: the stress of a second term, he may have resigned

193
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 4: and Rose may.

194
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: Have come president.

195
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 4: Anyway, with resignation of mckientley, big had a second or

196
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 4: third years of the second term.

197
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 2: Do you think McKinley's economic policies might have been a

198
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: threat to the elites.

199
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: I think more so Roosevelts were.

200
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 4: I think his coming into office with his approach towards

201
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: trust busting, bringing up stary oil, American tobacco eventually, and

202
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: also you know his approach towards conservationism and the idea

203
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 4: of taking on big business and the peer put in

204
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 4: Drug Act and I mean Inspection Act, and just doing

205
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: things too. I think helped labor, We helped sell the

206
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: mining strength.

207
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: So I think he was.

208
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 4: I think his approach I gave us more I think

209
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 4: radical policies. And McKinley, one thing we kind of to

210
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 4: talk about down is second augul and dress you worried

211
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: about Cuba. He said that could be a problem for

212
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 4: us in the future become a democracy. And he looked

213
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 4: into the future there and said, if they don't become

214
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 4: a democracy, they could be a big problem for us

215
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 4: in the future because the fantasparics of war had been

216
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 4: over and they still were kind of clear whether the

217
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 4: future would have been and he was looking forward to

218
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 4: kind of figure out what might have been a democracy

219
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 4: for them in the future, how that would have turned

220
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: out differently if they had been we're seeing to think

221
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 4: of how that would turn out differently, for cash were

222
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: coming to power and things like that.

223
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: Interesting. Well, getting back to the the economic policies, McKinley

224
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: supported goldbacked currency. I mean, he was against major banking monopolies.

225
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: Could do you think financial elites maybe have wanted him

226
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 2: eliminated because of that?

227
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I.

228
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 4: Think it's possible that if you look at there's a

229
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 4: radical ship. I think ever in US assassinations that maybe

230
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 4: a lot Johnson and kind of this seminal legement policies

231
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 4: with Vietnam War. But it does seem like with Wayne

232
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 4: Roosevelt was looked at at the time, he was a reformer.

233
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 4: He was in New York City politics, he was New

234
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 4: York State governor, and they put him in the vice

235
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 4: president to kind of.

236
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: Just get rid of him.

237
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 4: He was causing him too much trouble and the thought

238
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 4: that could shut him up and that kind of backfired

239
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 4: on the party leader. Is because he is a war hero.

240
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 4: And I think that that approach worked because of course

241
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 4: he became president by you know, this fascination and then

242
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 4: he did his own thing. He came by and was

243
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 4: kind of this big reform minded approach. New York State politics,

244
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 4: New York City Police commissioner he was, and you click

245
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 4: clean up, you know for people that were that were corrupt.

246
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 4: And I think he had I think his approach was

247
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 4: refreshing at the time or a young president with children

248
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 4: in the White House, and I think he really was

249
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 4: run president fresh air to our country that that's we

250
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,080
