5:00 am
greenlawn write off some solyndra. it doesn't matter what program neil: where were you 50 years ago this very ho? at 8:00 p.m. eastern time in the body of john f. kennedy was in shington for an autopsy that would drag on for hours. but still ultimately lead more questions than answers. think about where we were as a nation at this very moment coming half century ago. it might even lead to war. concerns that no one was safe and the reality that all innocence was off. fifty years ago this minute, a grieving jacqueline kennedy was being peppered with plans for a state uneral.
5:01 am
this night she would mention camelot being lost and a martyr was on. it was sadly all coming together at this hour on this day and that includes every major global leader converging on our nation's capital with a horse-drawn carriage that had plastered abraham lincoln with through the same streets. she waited to take her husband homene last time and a new era. the the reality of all this heading home this hour on this night for a country that would be fixated on nothing else these next few days. a friday night then as it is w. but as different as night and
5:02 am
day. that is why we are breaking to understand the brave from everything we knew 50 years ago tonight. better to see the man through the met and we begin with knew jack kennedy really was. not that clueless ate and tonight, jfk is the pragmatic politician that you might not know and he does some remarkable things. lessons and warnings for it the president then and now. that is what issts what about john kennedy. how there was no predictable mold to john kennedy. that is what defined him in history and leaves us guessing in history. just ask historian.
5:03 am
rick, this happened after the fact, but let's go back who he was, and i think one thing that comes through loud and clear is not easily labeled, not a conservative but very pragmatic >> and these are terms the change with every generation. it is the one a was supposed to be in the early 1960s and jfk as a politician, of course, always one of these terms to be flexible.
5:04 am
this includes jfk being a libel in the classic mold. it has pretty much been debunked by historians if you look at his backing of the civil rights movement. he was kind of weak kneed the first couple of years and then offense finally pushed into it and he got more liberal on the issue. talking about his tax cut policy, which is what i think what you really want to talk about re is jfk who started out fairly conservative on tax cuts and he was not a onservative when it cae to government policy. so it is a mixed bag. >> he did go after this industry and the irony, i will get into
5:05 am
this with my day in san fran david asman, the message that he was trying to convey. it was always about getting this united states off the map that the russians were beating us in space, we had kind of lost our prestige he was concerned about that and it was a slowdown that he wanted to bring us out of that but ironically with tax cuts and things that would be friendly to businesses, incling cuts in investment. so had he lived, do you think ultimately -- but those tax cuts did go into effect i did have thdesired effect but they said that they would? would be a success more than lyndon johnson ultimately would? >> let talk about this. because one of the things that's important to understand is when he first comes into office, he is concerned about deficits as
5:06 am
are most americans and he was actually opposed to tax cuts and then he says that we need a tax cut to get this economy going. and eventually the revenues will start to inccease. >> at that time come about, that was actually considered part of keynesianism. you had some liberals who said that it's really all about spending. and jfk rected that, he rejected what was favored, which
5:07 am
was let's have a lot of spending programs. neil: would he have gone along with lbj's plan and i. >> i am not so sure that he would have. because he was very concerned about how the impact of these deficits were going to be on the country. but he rejected the idea that we should have deficits define economic policy. because he said that if we can get the economy going, and we will have much greater productivity and ultimately this will increase. and if you look at that, but he had put it into place, he did not just cut the marginal tax rates from 91% on the 70% for personal income taxes, he also cut corporate taxes and he also made it shorter that they close up a lot of loopholes and $3.5 billion in loopholes that actually raise revenue for the
5:08 am
federal government. >> he was an advocate of the system. i want to thank you. that's a very good perspecti. a lot of you might be watching thing that is what neil and rick are saying there's no way to jfk said that. but yes, he did. check this out. >> every dollar lease from taxation will help create a new job. and these new obs and salaries create other jobs and salaries and the created tax cuts. creating more jobs and more income across the board, top to bottom cuts in both corporate and personal income taxes. >> can you imagine any modern liberal state in agreement or president obama saying the agreement the thing is that he believed in growth for everybody. he did not believe in blaming one group against another, pitting one group against
5:09 am
anotr. his famous phrase was a rising tide lifts all votes. the goal nowadays for the modern liberal and president obama is includedn us, his income redistribution and that trumps the goal of growth for everybody. they are more intestedin this is not just saying a sameness, this is why friends of president kennedy like joseph also been others say that he didn't like liberals. he did not like liberals because he believed that liberals would sacrifice what is good for the entire country for the sake of their ideological commitment and ss does the wall street editorial page. bob bartley and milton friedman is to say that, it is very often a corporation. >> you ever wonder what he would think today of veterans that
5:10 am
provide $85 billion per month to keep the market going and the economy going? >> that's a good question. i don't think he would be in favor of it because he sees the reaction. neil: the things a lot easier for conservatives to say, we have 90 plus and he brings it down to 70 or whatever the
5:11 am
federal government will ultimately end up with more revenue and that is the heart of tax cutting you a nice breeze. and that is what kennedy embraced and that's exactly th opposite view of the current administration. neil: thank you, david, thank you so much. and would he endorse the big health care law that inow a mess today? meet the business owner who says it's driving her to drink. >> obamacare had negatively impacted us. i had no children or history of drug abuse. not yet.

neil: so where do you think that we lay right now and are you'll like others that we have had here, better something than nothing? >> and the government is actuallyhipping away at my freedom. my freedom to choose the health care services that i want, i just can't -- i cannot accept that. neil: so you wouldn't be eligible for the subsidies. those cut off for families, having even said that, this does
5:18 am
settle down. it gives people time to read those and all the options that are out there and everything will be kay and sheila, you needn't be driven to drink. this will work out. what do you think? >> they are off track. and business owners like myself are not going to accept it and the government needs to understand and this is absolutely unacceptable. so i don't think it's going to go away. so from what i've heard the past few days, it is definitely not going away. this is just stirring it up and

we, the people, we are tired of it. neil: thank you, sheila. thank you. neil: do any of you remember the protest things to push on unemployment benefits past the 99 weekhen the agreement that was 300 das ago. the democrats are pushing for still more jobless been in. it's as simple as th. at bny mellon, our business is investments. managing tm, moving them, making them work. we oversee 20% of the world's financial assets. and that gives us scale and insight no one else has. investment management combined with investment servicing. invested in the world. investmenbny mellon.e's lives.

5:22 am
>> has been 240 weeks and 11 temporary extension since the first unemployment benefits were
5:23 am
filed. instead of pushing for more handouts, maybe they should be pushing for more jobs. linda is here to hash it out with adam lashinsky. >> this is the type of backwards thinking that we have been getting accustomed to coming out of washington. and this includes addressing the underlrlying structural issues. at this point, we should be having meaningful discussion about tax reforms and pro-growth and pro-business policies and instead what we are hearing from is more handouts and welfare and keeping americans on this. th is perpetuating the problem neill i guess things are pretty bad. but are we jst, are we making a bigger mess of this?
5:24 am
>> i will say straight out. i don't know what the right amount of time is. so i am trying to be humble about that. but what i do know is that the people, obviously we still have high unemployment and people are still hurting and we are cutting the social safety net in other ways as well. we saw what happened with food stamps and we saw what has happened with a great number of states refusing to paticipate in the affordable care act which has ramifications on people like this. so what i am arguing for is that we cannot cannot do all of these things at once. we have to figure out how to take care of people, whether it is extending unemployment benefits or not, i don't know. i don't think, i don't buy the argument that this encourages people to not look for work. it is not like they are living high on the hog with unemployment benefits. >> this is intended to be a short-term supplement. if there really was more correlation between increasing
5:25 am
the jobless benefits, why would we not just extend them indefinitely or for a lifetime? the reason is becausthere is a correlation and as we see jobless benefits increase, there's a positive correlation with a reduction in that incentive to actually go out and look for a job. of course, that is not all people, but on the margin, there isot a fact. neil: i think what happened is that people have gotten used to the government as a backp. the big banks and know that the government will always have their back, you know, those behind on their mortgages, those have a jo, the truble is the government doesn't have enough money. it might sound cool o say that the well has run dry, but it has. we are knee-deep out here. >> i know that i am supposed to disagree with you, but i think that you are right. people have come to think of the government as a backstop and i think the government should be a
5:26 am
backstop. neil: but there's a limit to be had, right? >> yes, quite literally there are limits. so i do think we should have a policy discussion on what it should and. i think though that when people are hungry, that is where you end it. and it's debatable as to whether or not the well has run dry. we still have tremendous econom power in this country to help people in need and we are not there yet. >> my fear is that even when they say that we are home free, the fact of the matter is that it's all a credit line. and we are we're going to have to make some hard choices here. >> we certainly are. and i think, the other guest is exactly right that we need to have a discussion of oness needs to end. i would like to see our political leaders stepped out and say that we know you don't want to stay on the government. we know that you don't want to
5:27 am
be reliant on the federal government indefinitely. so i would like to hear more of we need the ameeican public off of that moving them back into the private sector. taking some responsibility for the individuals. that is the type of proposal that we need to be hearg from officials. neil: i would just add that we have made difficult choices and they are not always good choices. we have cruming roads and bridges anwe don't have enough people who have access to good medical care. we have cut down on food stamps. we have cut down on the military. we have made some tough choices. and were going to have to make more. neil: times are tough, but they are not depression tough. i think that we haveve to make tougher decisions because that do not match the reality of the economic recovery or the resources that you say that we ve. >> the problem is the way that we have this civil conversation among the three of us, that's not the way that the conversation happens in

neil: he was coming to pass over this coming and he was concerned enough about his reelection that he did this. and it was a cautious jfk going. and in retrospect, do you think it's added caution? >> oh, absolutely. >> i say that an then we have a president that is not cautious about making any political trips, he makes them every week. neil: they raise a lot of money. >> yes, but it mmkes them more cautus, and people think about that scene and you know i still have the life magazine of those scenes in my office so those were tough days. very tough days. and it is embarrassing and especially he really was being magnanimous coming to texas, he wanted to be a peace maker and

5:50 am
knees, cutting government spending, cutting taxes, and you look at the united states today with barack obama implementing exactly the opposite kinds of policy and this is $17 trillion in debt, facing a pepsi in the long run, possibly and then you see a reversal of these very damaging big government anti-free-market policies. so barack obama them anyways is the antithesiof margaret thatcher and that is why america looks like a superpower on the path to decline. neil: the british accent rks for me. and here is what i have to ask about. the history is pretty consistent on what you getfrom a streamlined government, tax cuts, trying to promote business tivity and not vilify it. that under republican and democratic presidents in this
5:51 am
day, we are looking back at john kennedy, tax cuts came back to fruition sadly after his death. i'm wondering why that message doesn't come through or that liberals tend to think that that's just a lucky break. >> that's an extremely good point, actually. president obama is aleader in demaio, frankly. america is looking more like great britain in the 1970s. britain had togo to the imf for a loan for it to avoid bankruptcy because it had built up such huge levels of debt as a result of overspending and margaret thatcher made the point that the problem with socialist government is that eventually they run out of policy with moneto spend and what we are seeing in america today is a deep-seated antibusiness mentality about this administration, that is the mentality that is driving euro two destruction today.
5:52 am
and it's a mentality that will ruin the united states. i do think the leadership lessons provided by them are badly needed here today in america. neil: it's always good to have you. thank you so much, my friend. when we come back to remembering this other anniversary, what if i told you that these fellows on the right would not have been possible without john kennedy? what i am saying is that he actually invented the internet. actually invented the internet. sorry, al go this is the quicksilver cash back card from capil one. it's not the "limit the cash i earnvery month" card. it's not the "i only earn decent rewards at the gas station" card. it's the no-games, no-signing up, everyday-rewarding, kung-fu-fighting, silver-lightning-in-a-bottle, bringing-home-the-bacon cash back card. this is the quicksilver card from capitalne. unlimited 1.5% cash back on eve purchase, everywhere, every single day.

neil: one thing that is lost is what john kennedy not only did on tax cuts, being pragmatic to grow a biness, but what he did for the space program and the ancillary effects that it it had on almost all things technology. i firmly believe in my desk and
5:56 am
argued is that it's not -- if it weren't for john kennedy, i don't think we would have a gadget nation or the technology. because he provided a foundation that encourage that because it all began with space. that also means because of him we had tanks, so we didn't exactly hit it perfectly. but we have two guests on the jfk tech boom. what do you make of that? that he provided the foundation for a lot of these companies as well? >> i think you make a great point. when you think about it, other than our national defense, it is really, as i recall, the last time the government really worked effectely. ey took a project they are that was really kind of unsolvable. they allocated a certain amount of money, which they did exceed, but they did the unthinkable and in a relatively sho timeframe. right now we are going the opposite way where we allocate a

lot of money for things like obamacare, and it just gets worse by the day. >> i think you're on a great point. the legacy that kennedy provided was not necessarily political come but i think it was in terms of inspirational. he understood what the world looked at and the implications of what he suggested them what it would be and were he alive today, i think he would be proud of what in fact has been created using this to start. neil: we always forget that the idea wise, at that time, to stop the soviets because there is a real concern. but fter that he was enuinely concerned about man reaching beyond this planet, and that started this technological fervor. but it eased a bit when we cut
