john kennedy is now president. by this time, the force of the revolution in vietnam is gaining strength. kennedy, lacking eisenhower's military background, felt greater pressure to follow the advice of his military advisers who said we need to send military force into vietnam. or we will risk losing vietnam to communism. i will stop here. i will just say one thing: the premises on which the united states initially sided with the anti-communist forces in vietnam were an artifact of the 1940's. it was not outlandish to believe that communism was it unified threat to the united states and a victory for commism anywhere was a threat to democracy everywhere. by the 1960's that was coming into question. but because harry truman and dwight eisenhower and john kennedy had laid down this marker they felt obliged to live up to this promise. >> i want to reinforce what is -- has just and said. i especially was like to urge you to read a book called the brothers. it is i think the finest book on how we got to where we were and

reads passages from his book, "brothers: the hidden history of the kennedy years" and explores the personal relationship between john f. kennedy and robert f kennedy, arguing that the brothers and their closest advisers continually pushed pretty peaceful resolution of the cold war. he also proposes that robert kennedy spent a great deal of time searching for answers on his brothers associate -- on his brothers assassination. this is about one hour. >> good evening and welcome to book passage. bestwhat we think is the view. tonight's guest is david talbot who has come to tell us about "brothers: the hidden history of the kennedy years" and david was born and raised in los angeles. has been a lifelong activist and provocateur, going with days in southern california and also it used the santacruz -- also at uc cruz. his father was a movie and television actor and a left-wing labor activist who cofounded the screen actors guild. after uc santa cruz, he wrote in 1978, creed of differences -- differences." after that he was the senior editor of a magazine for five years. after that, he was an editor at the examiner's imag

so, in terms of growing incomes -- by the way, john kennedy, we host talk about ronald reagan, john kennedy reduced income tax rates across the board about 23, 25% including the top and so you could accuse him of favoring the rich, but what kennedy tax cuts when they were finally enacted with johnson led to the booming 1960s. reagins led to the booming 1980s. we created millions and millions of new jobs including a more and more high paid jobs instead of these part-time jobs. you are counted as employed, but you are not getting nearly what you think you're worth, so we went to get the dynamism of a growing economy and the flax-- flat tax is one great way to do and as for tax lawyers and irs agents, even though i'm a conservative i would support job retraining or perhaps urge them to work for uber, do something useful. [laughter] >> host: becky kurtz, a tweet from becky: who is the smartest person you know in and-- in or out of governments and what's the best run us city and state in your view? >> guest: the best run city and state. in terms of smart people, one of the things is there is a l

. >> why do we assume that to john f. kennedy? >> a lot of it has to do with a presidency cut short than sort of hyper increased at that point and the dramatic shift means we invested in after the fact appreciation. >> mythology. >> a mythology and you heard it in a little clip you're there. johnson took on all of kennedy's guys and they led him all the way there. now, maybe john kennedy would have said stop but on many occasions, lyndon johnson said i'm not going to give you $150,000. i'm not going to do this. he was doing what you thought that john f. kennedy might have done and yet, somehow the water, the quick stand was rising. and it had started under harry truman and all it took was just, you know, john kennedy at one point talks about saying he agonized over it, as well. there is a couple of tapes but also, you know, comments he made about taking a drink and another drink and another drink and you would want more. that drinking, that addiction happened with harry truman and that's a hugely important american question that l

john f. kennedy and ronald reagan. kennedy and reagan are regarded as two savvy media communicators, how both of them became that way is no small measure by studying, learning franklin roosevelt. he was such an influence on future president in terms of how they use the media. that is what i will focus on today. let me give you a little bit of background. radio is not exactly new when franklin roosevelt became president nor was he the first president to use the radio. that would have been warren harding in 1923 and roosevelt wasn't the first mass media president. and in the 1920s when movies start to get big americans flock to the movies in the 1920s and the newsreels, and decided everybody going to the movies, i want to be in the newsreels they show ahead of time. calvin coolidge had himself filmed doing crazy things but it was in the newsreels because he was president. and filmed him. calvin coolidge became more seen in the 1920s than the biggest hollywood stars of that era, seen by more people and

i mentioned to in particular, john f. kennedy and ronald reagan. arguably, reagan. rguably, both of these gentlemen were media savvy two. were not for roosevelt, i wonder how savvy they would have been. one of the very first things that john f. kennedy did when he came into the white house, he asked how many fireside chats did roosevelt give? when kennedy learned that he had only given about 30 of them, it validated kennedy's own view that he should keep his own appearances on television to a minimum. television television of course was the dominant medium when kennedy came in. john f. kennedy, he could go on tv whenever you wanted but, like with roosevelt and radio, kennedy sense that bike keeping his appearances to a minimum it would maximize the drama when he did appear, very savvy observation. kennedy actually declined to go on television when invited to do so he thought too many appearances on television would make him boring. you you know what they say, familiarity breeds contempt. that is what he believed. i think that was a lesson in restraint that modern pre

john f. kennedy jr. is preparing to fly to massachusetts with his wife carolyn business is it kennedy and her sister lauren bissett. the plan is to drop lauren off at martha's vineyard and to continue on to the kennedy compound in hin port in cape cod. >> he was going up the east coast up to martha's vine year and turn and go up to the island. this would be a normal route. >> he taxis his six-seat single engine piper saratoga on to the runway. at 8:38 p.m. he takes off. >> last atc facility he talked to was caldwell tower. after that no one was in communication with jfk jr. >> it's the last anyone will ever hear from him. 63 minutes later john f. kennedy jr.'s piper saratoga disappears over the dark waters of the atlantic ocean. >> we continue now with our top story this morning. the search for john f. kennedy jr. -- >> when word of the crash reaches the public, the national transportation safety board is tasked with figuring out what happened. they talked to the person they believe was the last to s

that would only happen under john f kennedy but a different way of absorbing information. he like today talk to people. he liked ad hoc meetings about issues that came up. he could not sit there still for hours for the long meet that is eisenhower was used to. one day the military aid who had the challenge to trying to provide him all the documents from the pentagon, cia, state department and get it to what the president needed, he called in two cia analysts and said, look, what i need is your help, i need you to help me come up with something that i can give the president that would give him everything he needs to know and nothing that he doesn't. it will take huge stack of reports and boil it down and i would really like it that he could put in a format and put in his pocket because we can't seem to put his attention in a few minutes. that way he can read it and pull it away and get through by the end of the day. one of the cia officers looked and smile because he had been talking about such a product anticipating kennedy's personality, he already had something in mind.

for the rest of his presidency, john f. kennedy seem to appreciate the check licks, reading it, tasking some of his leading officers to do things based on the items in it. he led into the circle of intelligence the secretary of state and secretary of defense. one person he did not let into the interest circle was vice president lyndon johnson. no love lost between the two. it was quite a surprise after that day in dallas when lyndon johnson is suddenly president of the united states and the director of intelligence briefs him the next day and shows him intelligence checklist. lyndon johnson was not a stupid man. that's why he never took to this document. this leads to the document that we know today. it has continued for more than 50 years. in summer 1964, cia, figuring out that this wasn't working for johnson, they retitled it, they reformatted it and they gave his advisors something that lyndon johnson could truly call his own, the president's daily brief at this time, answer most of history, the daily brief has been all three of

frank sinatra out, they forced out some mob people, and ralph told the story sawyer was hosting john kennedya visit to nevada, and kennedy said something like can i do anything for frank sinatra who was in trouble with regulators, and sawyer said, no, there's nothing we can do. well, he worked with sawyer, but in the '70s there was a very popular governor, mike o'callahan, who was reportedly going to run for the senate. a seat was vacant. and sawyer sat ralph down and said you should run for governor. there's a groundswell for you. and they showed him these clippings about how popular ralph was around the state. and o'callahan was going to run for the senate, it was certain. so really filed and then, of course, o'callahan didn't run for the senate, so ralph unfiled. now, where that story gets even more interesting is, first, ralph couldn't resist. he called the editors who were supporting him, and sawyer had called all of them on his behalf. second, at the time the republican candidate for the senate seat was paul waxall who becomes nationally known as ronald reagan's best friend, running hi

john kennedy send $100 donation in the american first committee that what you are doing was so vital.in addition american newspapers were by and large opposed to intervention. the hearst newspaper chain in particular but also the chicago tribune which was a massive loudspeaker in the upper midwest. the new york daily news, deeply opposed to intervention, aviation hero charles lindbergh became america first's chief spokesman, the organization's membership boomed to 800,000 members, the largest antiwar organization in american history. with lindbergh speaking american first rallies drew tens of thousands. they often had what we are recently seen, a trump quality to them. they were raucous, a heavily anti-immigrant flavor to them. there was a lot of people who had highly reactionary and in many ways bigoted outlooks including pro-nazi views. sometimes they turned violent with protests and clashes, supporters. i spent many hours going through limburg's diary that the university, elegant black books, leather bound, made particular notes about his thoughts and views. i made a number of stud

as paul finkelman pointed out, senator john kennedy and others made that linkage, particularly in the late 1950's, and kennedy continue to talk about the linkage during his time in the white house. the high water mark for celler was the passage of the hart-celler act of 1965, which is one of the great turning points of american immigration history. his story, his experience, his knowledge of the house all played a significant role in how that legislation was actually shaped. there is a debate that we will hear more about as to whether or not the effects were intended or unintended. people who write about intent to call of the law of unintended consequences. national origins is not removed entirely, although the old system is circumscribed. in particular, it will allow for unrestricted family reunification and to some extent political sanctuary. for the first time, it in acts -- it enacts some limits on immigration within north america and effects wages. it did discriminate openly gay people from coming to the united states. the ceremonies that did surround it are very curious, indeed.

as a teenager i heard john kennedy's summons to citizenship. and then, as a student at georgetown, i heard that call clarified by a professor named carroll quigley, who said to us that america was the greatest nation in the history of the world because our people have always believed in two things -- that tomorrow can be better than today, and that every one of us has a personal, moral responsibility to make it so. [cheers] that kind of future entered my life the night our daughter chelsea was born. as i stood in that delivery room, i was overcome with the thought that god had given me a blessing my own father never knew -- the chance to hold my child in my arms. somewhere at this very moment, a child is being born in america. let it be our cause to give that child a happy home, a healthy family, and a hopeful future. let it be our cause to see that child has a chance to live to the fullest of her god-given capacities. let it be our cause to see that child grow up strong and secure, braced by her challenges, but never struggling alone, with fam

[applause] would you rather quote richard nixon or john fitzgerald kennedy? [applause] the republicans have always been the party of privilege, but this year their leaders have gone even further. in their platform, they have repudiated the best traditions of their own party. where is the conscience of lincoln in the party of lincoln? what's become of their traditional republican commitment to fiscal responsibility? what's happened to their commitment to a safe and sane arms control? now, i don't claim perfection for the democratic party. i don't claim that every decision that we have made has been right or popular; certainly, they've not all been easy. but i will say this: we've been tested under fire. we've neither ducked nor hidden, and we've tackled the great central issues of our time, the historic challenges of peace and energy, which have been ignored for years. we've made tough decisions, and we've taken the heat for them. we've made mistakes, and we've learned from them. but we have built the foundation now for a better future. we've done something el

we are a long way from john kennedy saying we were willing to pay any price and meet any burden. that's the price it took to win the cold war. this is the third ideological war we have faced in our lifetimes. if we don't recognize as an ideological struggle it will get worse, not better. sandra: you were listening to f.b.i. director james comey confirming there was strong radicalization. what stuck out from what we heard from the f.b.i.? >> i thought that was the most forth right statement we have had from a leader of the administration to date. but let's not shy away from the problem. you have to treat the american people like adults. they have just seen 49 of their fellow citizens killed. they want to know it won't happen to them. they want to know we are doing what the government's first responsibility is, which is protecting the people against this. so i don't think there is anything wrong with people being angry and outraged by this. i think it's a mark of the failure of the president's leadership that he was so utterly dispassionate. it brought to mind michael dukakis's fam
