peter: another kennedy who is not buried in the kennedy family plot but in england, kathleen kennedy.ut her. maureen: she was jfk's sister. she was a vivacious, beautiful young girl, very smart. she was disowned by her mother for marrying a protestant. her husband was killed in world war ii. she fell into a deep depression. her husband and her young widowhood was not enough to rouse any sympathy from her mother, who instead thought that it was a likely punishment from god for what she saw as a renunciation of her catholicism. kick then fell in love with a married man and had found happiness again. she too was killed in a wholly avoidable small plane crash, much to the pilot's dismay, his passenger, kick's titled boyfriend, insisted they take off in bad weather. she and everybody died in that bad crash and her mother again refused to travel to england for kick's funeral. she did not ask for the body to be flown back to the states. kick was buried alone and her gravestone did not there the last name kennedy. peter: was it difficult to find her gravestone? you do have a picture of that i

kennedys. he was one of the producers behind the hit fox series "24" with kiefer sutherland and that was about to air on -- i forget the network, but the kennedy family reportedly caroline kennedy and maria shriver -- reportely caroline kennedy and maria shriver forwarded it. it ended up running on a much more niche cable station. i watched it. there wasn't anything i thought that was particularly shocking or controversial, but that is just one example. a second one is way more personal. i was out with this book proposal for a kennedy book and my publisher for my former book, "american predator," which did incredibly well for them, they were like, we will publish whatever you want to do next, not even a question, and then i submitted this and it was crickets and they passed on it and we later learned that they passed because they had been in quiet back room talks with maria shriver to give her her own imprint. peter: little brown ended up publishing this book. maureen: indeed they did. they bra

i began writing critically about the kennedys after senator ted kennedy died.n's funeral there is a wall-to-wall wall-to-wallmedia coverageor att three days. i never oe heard the name mary jo is a 29-year-old campaign aide that he left for dead. that was the seed. i continued writing critically about them. while i was at the "new york post" at the time after harvey weinstein wass convicted of rape in new york city by a jury composed of more men than women heard some very complicated difficult testimony from women who were alleging rape against harvey but home of whom said they maintained friendly relationship afterward or even had conceptual sexual encounters. i really thought we had taken a huge leap forward in understanding what abuse sexual abuse, abuse of power, abuse of political power really meant. that was the germ of the book. whichea i wrote like a novel. it is historical nonfiction. i wanted the reader to be in the hearts and heads of these women every step of the way state what i noticed your sources include the library of congress. the brown a popul

that's not what kennedy meant, but it's how like kennedy's have been used. there is another view of the proper relationship of the people and government. i to quote in a much less passage from ronald reagan's farewell address. he said that ours was the first revolution in the history mankind that truly reversed the course of government. it with three little words. we the people. we the people tell the government what to do. it doesn't tell. we the people are the driver. the government is the car. and we decide where it should go. and what route and how fast. reagan's words lack the inspiration of canada's, but it asks the government to serve people was a way that kennedy of could have called for inspiration, but avoided the danger that others use similar ideas. to to create support our government not for the people. yes there is a way. the way to talk about what we as a community, as all americans can do together. baraka obama famously said that he believed in the view that says in america, in a speech in kansas, he said, we are greater together whenever wan

president john f kennedy.ine kennedy read her warning letter to senators in a new video he lacks any relevant government, financial management or medical experience. >> his views on vaccines are dangerous and willfully misinformed. these facts alone should be disqualifying. but he has personal qualities related to this job, which for me pose even greater concern. i've known bobby my whole life. we grew up together. it's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because bobby himself is a predator. >> let's bring in cnn's arlette saenz on capitol hill. arlette, i mean stunning, stunning. and this is the first time we're hearing caroline kennedy speak so publicly about her cousin, rfk jr.. of course, she was an ambassador last year. so she said she kept her mouth shut. tell us more about what she has to say. >> well, jake, this really was a stark and scathing, very personal warning from caroline kennedy about her cousin, robert f kennedy on the eve of his confirmation hearings up here on capitol hill. in t

the senator kennedy all liked to smoke cigars. probably why you hear a little rasp in my throat right now. during that market we had hoped the agreement between minority and majority would hold. the subcommittee and the bill would go to the it floor. under time limit without amendments and sail through. that was not to be.senator mcclellan from arkansas proposed an amendment, simple, one-word change. the word records back files. seventh exemption. and i was sitting next to him behind senator kennedy, he had a piece of paper which he read from clearly prepared by the fbi. arguing that they needed that ability to make broad exclusionary decisions when faced with freedom of information act requests. it was debated and the subcommittee bill was sustained . the mcclellan memo was rejected . the result of that was that it was open season on the floor of the senate when the bill came up and there were in fact other amendments. i do want to mention a couple of amendments that were considered but not adopted back then. and they continue to

kennedy: -- thank you senator klobuchar, senator kennedy. sen. kennedy: mr. arthur you are with the senator for immigration studies, a nonpartisan think tank? mr. arthur: it is. sen. kennedy: the border is an open bleeding wound, isn't it? simple arthur that is a fair way to characterize the last four years. sen. kennedy: the southern border is chaotic by design. would it be fair to say the broken southern border is man-made? >> would be fair to say that, s, based on policies implemented. sen. kennedy: that man's name is joe biden isn't it? mr. arthur: that would be a fair assessment. sen. kennedy: under president biden if you wait in line for legal immigration you are a chump, aren't you? mr. arthur: when you look at the benefits that have been given to people, the speed at which they have been released into the united states i would be chagrined. sen. kennedy: you are a chump, aren't you? mr. arthur: yes, sir. sen. kennedy: general, do you believe -- you believe in open borders, don't you? mr. reichlin-melnick --. maj. gen. manner: i believe in the rule of

kennedy: vice president johnson, mr. speaker, mr.hief justice, president eisenhower, vice president nixon, president truman, reverend clergy, fellow citizens: we observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom -- symbolizing an end as well as a beginning -- signifying renewal as well as change. for i have sworn before you and almighty god the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago. the world is very different now. for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. and yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe -- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of god. we dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of americans -- born in this century, tempered by wa

used in the kennedy administration until after jfk dies.nterview to life magazine. and what she says. she tells this exclusive story to the reporter is that when jfk was alive and he was in the white house when his back was hurting him, and she wanted to calm him down, but jackie used to do is go put on a record, one of his favorite songs from one of his favorite plays, about a place called camelot. that's who put the word camelot in the lexicon. it was jackie. and, you know, jackie was a reporter at the start of her career, so she was a member of the press. she was hounded by the press. but make no mistake, she was a master of the press. she's the one who was writing jfk's legacy long before anyone else could. and my wife said her favorite parts of this book are the jackie parts, because she's all over it. >> well, your wife is a very smart lady, and i know that firsthand. and you can let her know i said that. brad. so, brad, i read here, pavlik, after his arrest, told reporters, quote, kennedy money bought the white house. i need the glas

just as john kennedy did in that famous picture of john kennedy and john kennedy, jr. yes popping through the door there. we want them to immerse themselves in this space and imagine that just 150 yards from where we're standing tonight is the actual oval office of the president of the united states. what's the history of the oval office? well, it was actually up until the presidency of teddy roosevelt that the presidents offices were on the same floor where the president lived, got pretty crowded up there. and particularly the roosevelts had a lot of cantankerous children. and so mrs. roosevelt us asked the president to find elsewhere to office. and so he built a building which had previously been on the space of some greenhouses, and that is what we call the west wing. today, the president's office initially was not oval in that space. it did not become oval until president taft. and then it was moved from the middle of the building over to the corner where it is today, under franklin delano roosevelt, where it's essentially been the oval office, as we know it since

joe biden and ted kennedy.arter during that huge division inside the democratic party. so that hurt him. a lot of the wounds were self-inflicted. carter was high handed. he was -- he was very abrupt with members of congress. he didn't really like politicians very much. i looked at some of the logs of his calls trying to get votes on various issues, 30 seconds the call would last. no pleasantries. he invited a couple powerful senators to play tennis on the white house court and then he said goodbye have a drink. >> he saw his constituency as the people who voted for him. that's what he had to do. deal with the issues of the people who voted for him. he didn't see the need to work with washington to play the games of washington to get it done. >> they got a lot more done. many bills were passed and signed. >> is a chance to write the record at least. this opportunity just over lining here. president jimmy carter, 100 years old. the beginnings of his state funeral in washington, d.c. is what you been watching. tha

the kennedys were very ardent anti- communist, and the patriarch of the kennedy family, joseph kennedy, admired senator mccarthy. was not a complete surprise that robert kennedy would join this effort, but he did not last very long. he began having problems with roy cohn . they had very intense conflicts, and ultimately had even a fistfight , after which robert kennedy resigned from committee staff. >> okay, with the mccarthy hearings lasting a little over a year, jim townsend, how many hearings were held? with a closed, open to the press? et cetera? scene hundreds and hundreds of hearings, something like 690, an incredible number of hearings were held during this period. there were a mix of close and open hearings. early on, a lot of the hearings were held in private. the significance of this is that this allowed senator mccarthy to-- after the conclusion of a hearing on a given day, to go out and hold a press conference and characterize what evidence was given. he would often mischaracterize and exaggerate the findings that they had come up with in the hearing. but there was nobody r
