clinton looked to jackie kennedy, although unfortunately, jackie kennedy died just a couple of years into the clinton presidency as someone to to provide guidance to to her in her role as first lady and jackie kennedy also had known betty ford when they were, you know, congressional wives together and she also was gave advice to to mrs. ford. i'm trying to think of some other good relationships are friendships. i don't know of any. bad, you know downright hostile relationships that they're apparently i guess. some people have wondered if melania trump is upset that jill biden is getting such good. oh, you know for the most part good press in these first months is as first lady, but mrs. trump hasn't called me up to give me what her true opinion is so i can't comment on that. um but historians will say at a time will tell on time. well, certainly say that mrs. kennedy was very very helpful to lady bird. johnson as well, so if jackie kennedy was our third youngest first lady. she's only in her early 30s. she became so identified with the white house and how to run the white house and h

kennedy's reference to being the man who accompanied jackie kennedy to paris the jackie kennedy kind of stole the limelight in paris and mrs. reagan, certainly did that night and the the idea that this woman had a sense of humor at all much left less an ability to for self-deprecation was really quite a wonderful picture of president reagan himself. just go falling at the dias that table that night the third doing that but fashion was a mainstay with her. she wanted to look her best and she dressed her best and fast forward to the time of the first lady's portrait, which was done by aaron schickler the same portrait artist, ironically that did jaqueline kennedy you say ironically i would say probably deliberately. okay. good point you win that one. she's wearing that very that galanos gown of the red her signature red. anything about the imagery of that and the similarity between those two portraits that strike you it's the serenity. both of them and i think the serenity and nancy reagan's case. that was really sort of an odds with with the reality of her life that it's just both of

so jackie kennedy was certainly a important style figure. i mean magazines around the world were named after her. she was world famous. her name became a common name for people to give to their kids. so she's one of our most interesting first ladies. that's true. but she tragically had a very short time. >> our last question this evening. we're going to put you on the spot, betty. if you could host a dinner party for any three first ladies living or deceased, who would you invite and why? >> i can't name any, i think we have five living first ladies. betty ford says the job diminishes but it never ends. if you say we have five first ladies living, i wouldn't want to name any of them because it wouldn't be fair. i probably wouldn't name any of the words i've written about a lot. ladybird johnson and roosevelt's because i think i know them a little bit. i would go for the ones i don't. now that i really couldn't get to, grace coolidge for example in the 1920s, is one of the most fascinating. we don't really know. she had the reputation at the

just like jackie kennedy was but she wasn't. she was given nothing actually and it took almost two years for lincoln's estate to be settled and during that time the lawyer they had asked to settle the estate gave mary an allowance of 1500 dollars a year equivalent of 24,000 today. i mean, it's really nothing her son. she had one son living at that. she had two sons living one was an adult by then, but she had a i think a 14 year old. he also got some money but together it was just not that much money. she had just left the white house and what's very interesting that people don't know is that lincoln had a sizable estate when he died. it was it was the equivalent of i'd say 1.7 million dollars. they could have given her more of an allowance as they settled the estate. it was very cruel. i mean she literally had nowhere to live. she was living from hotel to hotel. um, she moved out the white house into hotel. she roamed the country trying to find some peace and solitude. she took her son that the younger son to germany to help wi

it did not fully appreciate jackie kennedy blame the secret service. bill grew the driver of the limousine and agent in the service you have jackie in this book saying basically if only he had done xyz differently maybe that would not have happened that is extraordinary. >> this widow with the blood still on her beautiful pink suit was holding onto her husband's brain parts as they arrive. >> literally clutching them a peace of his skull and brain. >> holding them and hands them to a doctor when she gets into the emergency room. you cannot put this president back together again. there were some doctors who thought there was a chance but not many. but she is this amazing figure of like i am going to hold it together for the country, which she did for many, many days. but in her private moments she shares that tap on the break that bill greer the agent of the limo in which she is writing with her husband, the tap on the break in the plaza upon hearing the first shot come through the right side of everybody's ears is likely the reason, forgive me, is like

one of the things it's helped kept the world safe and alive, through the missile crisis was that jacky kennedystablished the guns of august about how war came about in 1914 almost by accident and he was determined doubt nothing like that would happen on his watch. he was determined to find himself sliding back into work. that was his chief of staff 1962. but the talked about the bombing bombing russian invading cuba. the kidney new huge danger and he got into dramatic escalations. butno in 1914 germany especially was accustomed to regarding more as a usable instrument and germany had h fought three warsf the preceding passenger against denmark austria in 1870 gets front. all should been huge successes were germany. and until 1871 russia with the leading component business but most of the senior officers of what had been the russian army is not germany, usable policies. many of them got in their heads of the idea that they could see russia becoming ever more successful in industrial. and they were hardly uneasy. the best chance of defeating the russians was tofi fight a war in 1940 rather than

other first lady such as eleanor roosevelt, jackie kennedy, pat nixon, betty ford also guarded a lot of media coverage for their speeches and activities. and the fort interview here usgs on 60 minutes, you saw the controversial and surprising, although it's not what you said, like either through the belt, she talked about a lot of personal things. but she really humanized herself as a first lady and her family. and news releases, as i said begin that process, here is an example from a shall obama. barbara bush is photo holding -- it was powerful, it eventually helped americans conception on the disease, an influencer has been to support legislation to victims. we can reflect a powerful visuals, think about nancy reagan's appearance of correspond -- it helped turn her image which was suffering at the time. laura bush the filled a very important role for a country, reeling from 9/11 when she used the radio channel that was used by henry hoover many years before. she was the first first lady to do the presidential saturday morning radio press. she spoke about the taliban's brutality to

other first ladies such as eleanor roosevelt's jackie kennedy lady bird johnson pat. nixon betty ford also garnered a lot of media coverage for their speeches and activities. and betty ford's interview that you see here with morally safer on 60 minutes where someone controversial and surprising was some of what she said and unlike edith the roosevelt. she talked about a lot of personal things, but she really humanized herself as a first lady and her family. and then news releases as i said begin that process and there's an example here of one from michelle obama barbara bush's photo holding an aids baby was powerful and that it eventually helped change americans misconceptions about the disease and influenced her husband to support legislation to assist victims. if we reflect on powerful visuals think about nancy reagan's appearance of the correspondence dinner dressed as second hand rose, which helped turn her image which was suffering at the time. laura bush filled a very important role for a country reeling from 9/11 when she used the radio channel that had been us

a 1961 dinner at buckingham palace for john and jackie kennedy.an impression on the queen and her mother. during a 1977 buckingham palace state dinner. instead of bowing his head or shaking the queen mother's hand, he decided to kiss her right on the lips. ronald reagan, a personal favorite of her majesty -- >> very nice to see you again -- >> reporter: >> bonded with the queen over their mutual love of horses. and in 1991, president george h.w. bush took the royal couple to one of america's favorite pastimes -- a baseball game between the baltimore orioles and the oakland as. bill clinton and george w. bush met with the queen and prince philip without breaches of royal protocol. unfortunately, more recent presidents weren't so lucky. >> to her majesty, the queen. to the vitality of the special relationship between our peoples -- >> reporter: while toasting the monarch the a 2009 state dinner, president obama kept right on talking as the band played the british national anthem. and most recently, donald trump drew some raised british eyebrows when

beautiful woman, i would say the most beautiful first lady we ever had and probably rivaling jackie kennedy'sr of multiple magazines, but because she is married to donald trump, they hate him so much, it really hurt them, the people see their bias where they stand now and i am going to say they lost quite a bit of readership to the fact that they've taken a strong political stance. stuart: your father-in-law, have you spoken about his visit to the border today? >> i haven't spoken to him today but i know, looking forward to going down there. the reality is we needed somebody to take charge of this situation as we have a president at a vice president for derelict in their duties at the southern border, letting people flow over the southern border. kamala harris went down for a photo op, almost 1000 miles away from the epicenter of the problem. donald trump is going to the rio grande valley to a place where they have a majority of people crossing the border because he wants to bring light to this problem. the media is giving a pass to the biden administration. donald trump might be the former p

kennedy makes a very important statement in addition to thanking jackie for restoring. white house, but he says, you know when the united states was founded there was a king in france and as are in russia and an emperor in peking he calls it we didn't get call it beijing. he said there's an emperor in peking and and he says and all those are gone now, but the united states still remains, it's regime. it's form of democracy still remains, and we hope it will and he says he thinks that it's the white house that can symbolize that longevity of our regime. so i think that that is more than just a subtext about how we are an important country in the in the bipolar contest between the free world and the communist world. so let's go to the next mrs. kennedy wanted to make it clear that she wasn't merely as she said redecorating the white house, but she said restoring it and she said to the great journalist and and person who covered the presidency i think in journalism better than anyone i can imagine and i've just been so delighted to get to know his daughter cindy who is at

kennedy is probably a case, is followed by his lovely wife jackie, lyndon johnson former senator fromrat, harry truman, all joined at the -- all-hasten to the supreme court chamber for lunch. as is customary, the joint congressional inaugural committee provides a launch in the historical supreme court chamber in the capital for the new chief executive and his party. invitation list comprises a notable array of the leaders in and out of government. all eager to congratulate the presidential family. the chefs uncover the chafing dishes. the head table is laid out in readiness for the hungry dignitaries. the center motif on the table is an american eagle carved from ice. in the serving line we see senator styles bridges of new hampshire. joe duke, sergeant at arms of the senate and senator's dalton stall a massachusetts former colleague of the president when he was in the senate. senator henry jackson of washington. senator george smothers of florida. bobby baker, secretary to the majority. senator hubert humphrey of minnesota. henry wallace, former vice president of the united states. r

i wanted to protect jackie from having to testify. john kennedyme. instead, at this trial, he pursued an insanity defense and not just insanity, he pursued a defense that he did not remember the event itself. that he was an epileptic saysure and in what is called a fug state and he has no recollection and the jury quickly rejected that. the much smarter defense in this case would have been the one he likely would have pursued in a new trial which would have been don't convict me of murder, don't sentence me to death, just give me this lesser crime where i get five years or less in prison. >> so jack ruby's lawyer chose to use that defense strategy, many suggested he might be the crazy one but he had fought enough battles in enough courtrooms to remain confident he could convince a jury jack ruby was a sick man and not in control of his senses when he had committed what would ordinarily be considered a murder by laying out his approach in the bail hearing he had provided prosecutors with an early road map of the case to come. but belle isle felt di

kennedy: we can proud of the fact we can have these discussions. i actually do think there is room for activism and athletics. i think some of our athletes, lanky jackie robinson's like muhammad ali, they are the ones who really did move the convert bit station forward. i do think every time in history deserves its own steward. one happens to be one of the more selfish athletes whose making it about her instead of seeing positive improvement. i want to know to your point, what country would pass this impossible purity test? what country is not stained by the mistakes in its founding and history? we can be a better nation going forward. but the point of the olympics is to represent your country. you take pride in your hard work and to work together as a nation. you know it reminds me of? chloe kim who went snowboarding in 2018. she won the gold medal and the women half pike snowboarding. and her dad, her parents moved from korea when she was a kid. her dad was waving the american flag but he was a chancing team usa. he was so proud he would work his off so his daughter could win a gold medal for such incredible country. those of the type of people i li
