please go ahead, bob. whiteretary, malcolm kilda has just announced that president kennedy died at approximately 1:00 central standard time, about 30 minutes ago. after being shot by an unknown assailant during a motorcade drive through downtown dallas. >> incredible footage. that was nbc news 50 years ago today announcing the tragic assassination of president john f. kennedy. a dark day in american history, to say least. much like september 11th, 2001, kennedy's death may have been a defining moment for the whole country. if you're like me, you probably remember exactly where you were when you heard the president had been shot. since that day, however, historians have tried to rebrand the president as a big liberal. but he was not. jfk was a supply-sider, at least on taxes and the economy. he was a reagan before reagan. just take a listen to this. >> every dollar released from taxation that is spent or invested will help create a new job and a new salary and these new jobs and new salaries can create other jobs

please, go ahead, bob. white house press secretary has just announced that president kennedy died at approximately 1:00 central standard time, which is about 35 minutes ago after being shot by an unknown assailant during a motorcade drive through downtown dallas. the president died approximately 25 minutes after the attack took place. he had been rushed bleeding and unconscious to the parkland memorial hospital in dallas and was given blood transfusions. about 15 minutes ago, reports nbc's bob mcneal in dallas to whom i'm talking to now, a priest emerged after having given the president last rites. just before the announcement of the president's death was made, vice president lyndon johnson emerged grim faced and was driven off with a police escort to assume the constitutional responsibility of the presidency. a casket has just been brought into the emergency ward of the hospital for president kennedy. the attack took place as the president who was just completing what amounted to a triumphal drive through downto

white. losers. >> republican, bob, 82% white, angry, all grumy. wow. my kid's going to learn from that bozo? >> that fits you pretty well. look, the reality is this guy represents a very small percentage. you know today in america, there are more kids taking business administration than there are taking liberal arts in college? >> thank goodness. >> the idea that somehow -- greg's not here but this whole notion that all the professors are like that is silly. all liberal kids are going to treat petraeus like that. >> saying republicans are angry -- you completely went down the rabbit hole. that was a nice try. let's start with the petraeus thing. if your kids -- >> i had a chance to talk to general petraeus who's finishing up that semester teaching for a dollar after there was controversy. he said, i'll teach it for a dollar. the class is made up of honor students. help said it could not have been a better group of students. it's been fabulous. all those knuckleheads that are screaming at him on the street were not a part of the honors class. there's hope i guess. >> it was a professor that p

i understand even today some in the white house are not that happy with bob bood woodward's reporting. >> yeah. they said i started it. >> started what? >> started this idea of he's got to lead. and he's too passive at times on these budget issues. >> is this white house telling you that's not accurate? are they angry? are they blaming you for this? >> as you know, no one likes to be criticized and called out. but they deal with reporters. i think the temperature is going up right now. there is more .more criticism on the president's comments on obama care, that, you know, if you like it, you'll keep it. and somebody has found 29 times that he said that and -- >> i've seen it at least 29 times on the air. but on that point, you were on meet the press with david, no longer works in the white house, and he wouldn't quite concede that that was a mistake, the president used the wrong language. it almost seems like the press is trying to pull out of this administration. it's an admission that this was, at the very least, misleading and they don't want to go there. >> no, they don't. and on

i suggested it may not be only black on white crime. bobou think race is at the root of what's going on? >> i don't know the answer to this. i assume that everybody that has been caught on camera doing this has been a minority. but my question is, they caught them on camera. how many of these people have been arrested a. and b, are they entertaining the notion of hate crimes which they should if it's black on white crime. >> in new york state a lawmaker in upstate new york is looking to make it a gang crime which carries up to 25 year sentence for it. maybe something like that would help. >> if you look at it, there are no black victims from what i can tell on that. definitely is racially motivated and the question is, the cowardice of the media and black leaders who comment on anything but black on black violence or black on white violence. two people have agreed this san issue. charles barkley and thomas soul who you couldn't find two more different people on the planet agree that something like this, the violence that's going on these da

> it could be 30 million. >> or a plan might cover four people. >> why to you dispute this, bob, when the white house doesn't dispute it. >> the idea that 80 million plans will be lost. >> people. 311 million people. >> if a dad gets his health insurance through his employer, the employer oftentimes covers the mom and the children and that's why typically in the past too if a child has a heart condition or some kind of illness it can drive up the cost for the entire company but that's why we're getting this number because it affects the entire family. >> vast majority of americans will not have health insurance. >> they will be kicked off their plan. >> there's 311 million americans and 80 million people have to go somewhere else. >> medicare is for seniors -- >> i can point one other thing out. cleveland clinic. president obama used the cleveland clinic as his see how this will work, we love the cleveland clinic. cleveland clinic told america that they are going to have to cutback $300 million of expenses because of obama care. half of that is going to be in employees and employee wages. >> sa

and the reason i was there which was, again, to support our white house coverage, bob clark was our whitedent, and he was in the pool press car which was, i believe, two cars behind the presidential limousine. and when they heard the shots, he and merriman smith who was the upi reporter in the car sort of had a wrestling match to try to get to the one portable phone in the car. upi won out. and when they got to parkland hospital, the press got out, the pool press got out and went to the limousine, and even at that moment mrs. kennedy was cradling the president and his head, his wounded head in her lap. he saw them being taken into the emergency room and looking in the car he told me privately but didn't say it on the air at that point that there was no way the president could, in fact, survive because the carnage that he saw was impressive. patti ann: yeah. yeah, that is something that people remember always is hearing about the details of jackie kennedy, you know, trying to save him and how heartbreaking and desperate it was and the despair at realizing that there was no chance. and we j

my goal was to help our white house correspondent bob clark with his piece that evening. >> you describe it running down to dealy plaza and it was a horrifically emotional scene. tell us what you saw that day? >> it was. i grabbed a cameraman and he came with me and people were just pointing to the depository building and saying a man was up there with a rifle. and folks were crying and sobbing and shock and extremely angry and the police were getting attention on the building itself. >> you were working with correspondent bob clark that day as you said and he was heading to the hospital and trying to follow the first lady and the president's car to the hospital and he described to you the scene. when he got to the hospital he was able to so in and what did he tell you? >> when they got there, the press pool got out and went to the limousine and mrs. kennedy and the president were till there and the president slumped over her lap and she was cradling his head. they went out and got to the emergency room and the press were not allowed to go inside and bob told me that the damage that he s

white thing. i agree with bob, you can try certain things. i just think this particular initiative is idiotic. should be initiatives on table that you can try. this doesn't work. you have to keep sanctions there. if a guy is pinned in a wrestling match you don't let him up. you keep him pinned. >> hit the mat three times and he is out. you win. coming up, waste, fraud and obama phone. dialing up the controversy again. why we need to disconnect this one for good. you know, ronny... folks who save hundreds of dollars by switching to geico sure are happy. and how happy are they jimmy? i'd say happier than a bodybuilder directing traffic. he does look happy. get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. >>> coming up, hold the phone. obama phone. redistribution plan under fire again for waste and fraud. time to hang it up for good. and then the president telling us one thing, but might be doing the female announcer: sunday's your last chance sunday's your last chance to save big during sleep train's triple choice sale. through sunday, thanksgiving w

he warned the white house that they were not equipped to deal with this and still doesn't believe they are equipped. bob, thank you. >> good seeing you. >> the white house is now in crisis mode as millions lose insurance. as the federal websites fail to work right. just ahead we get a chance to speak with the man i'm talking to you about. we thought zeke emmanuel was the architect. he was one of them. this guy was the other one. he 's sounding the alarm tonight about what has gone very wrong here. and about the predictions that he made directly to the white house. back in 2010. plus as we make time the to honor the vets today an exclusive on just what the health care changes mean for our military families. there are seniors who have left hundreds of dollars of savings on the table by not choosing the right medicare d plan. no one could have left this much money here. whoo-hoo-hoo! yet many seniors whoompare medicare d plans realize they can save hundreds of dollars. cvs/pharmacy wants to help you save on medicare expenses. talk to your cvs pacist, call, or go to cvs.com/compare to get your free, persona

nuclear option, it was solely about executive appointees and judges -- >> however, bob, today at the podium when the white house was asked, would you, then -- would you not allow this rule to go towards legislation? and they would not rule it out. it's not -- why would anybody believe what the white house has to say? they've flip-flopped on every issue on principle. >> the white house wouldn't go along with it. >> the point is it might not be specifically tailored. >> no, it doesn't apply -- >> bob, we're talking about this. i'm saying what could happen. it is not for sure a bright line rule, so that is something you have to look at as a potential outcome. >> i don't think it's even in the world of possibilities right now, because let's just say george will is right and in 2017 there's a republican, house and senate, we'd be foolish to apply it or push it through to apply it to legislative matters. one day it's not going to be republican senators. >> it turns against pup you. that's the point. the democrats think that through -- >> for one thing, i just know they wanted to change the temperature. they wan

bob by this. valley if we taint the white to act and yet for all the frustration there is one more hope for israeli politicians to use the next six months before a final deal is drafted to their advantage i suspect they're going to be continuously saying that iran is not keeping its commitments. sure they're going to be in close touch with. and i did states friends than anybody any of the countries continuously pressing israel's demands for what should be in that final agreement but with the pressure on israel it's the only country in the middle east that has not and does not intend to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty if you want to avoid. a nuclear weapon for iran we have to be part of a nuclear free zone that's very simple even iran's president hassan rouhani has called on israel to join the treaty positioning himself as a major peacekeeper in the attempt to denuclearize the region iran never threatened israel with nuclear weapons on the contrary. a third iran military outcome. if a nuclear free middle east initiative was ever to work its estimated israel would need to get rid of anywhere

i do think it's interesting that bob can have that honest answer here but the white house or unnamed white house officials once again are on background trying to shape a story in "the new york times" saying, no, no, no, no, we're not for redistribution. this was about reducing the cost of health care. which, one, it is proving it isn't doing. president obama said something about trying to take away the rhetoric and strip that away and then what you have. the problem is the reality versus the fantasy. on many topics. in particular on obama care. today, this morning, they had a major delay on the website. about an hour and a half disruption. can you imagine if you are a mom or dad and you own a business and you're thinking, i want to get this taken care of before thanksgiving. i want to enjoy the holidays with my family. try to get on on a monday morning and you can't even get that done. the anxiety that is added to the people's frustration with the government is leading to pick young polls that have the president collapsing not just in competence but in trust. and i think that's where

bob? >> that explains that. it really does, actually. >> i have one bit of advice. the whiteouse should not get involved in this. whatever it is that the president's asked about this week, do not get involved. stand down. >> your image up until recently has been a straightforward, nice woman -- peace of mind is important when you're running a successful business. so we provide it services you can rely on. with centurylink as your trusted it partner, you'll experience reliable uptime for the network and services you depend on. multi-layered security solutions keep your information safe, and secure. and responsive dedicated support meets your needs, and eases your mind. centurylink. your link to what's next. medicare open enrollment. of year again. time to compare plans and costs. you don't have to make changes. buit never hurts to see if u can find bettoverage, save money, or both. and check out the preventive benefits you get after the health care la open enrollment ends december 7th. so now's the time. visit medicare.gov or call 1-800-medicare >>> i just learned something th

white house will say these are private events. but when you look at the events they're doing, they're really not private events at all. >> bob, you ur head and wanting to chime in. >> let's use the "p" word here. it's propaganda. we have an administration -- every president gets to the woint where he just likes the presence. and every administration tries to manipulate the press. but this is the most hostile to the media that has been in united states history. not only do we have this thing -- you would go that far? >> i would go that far. >> the most hostile in history. >> the most hostile. we have the situation where they are in fact shutting out the press. by the way, when they say, you can't have every photographer in, they know there's a thing called a pool. you have one representative from each of the media that represents all of them and shares the pictures and sound and all that kind of thing. that's totally disingenuous. the reason i say most hostile is because of the analysis department moves they've made. obviously they have a contempt for the journalistic process. those of us who are in journalism, of course, believe t

while television threatening to isolate itself even further so the goal is not bob by this move the wing it retains the white to act and yet for all the frustration there is one more hope for israeli politicians to use the next six months before a final deal is drafted to their advantage i suspect they're going to be continuously saying that iran is not keeping its commitment i'm sure they're going to be in close touch with. united states friends than anybody or any of the countries continuously pressing israel's demands for what should be in that final agreement but with the pressure on israel it's the only country in the middle east that has not and does not intend to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty if you want to avoid. a nuclear weapon for we have to be part of a nuclear free zone with very simple even iran's president hassan rouhani has called on israel to join the treaty positioning himself as a major peacekeeper in the attempt to denuclearize the region never threaten israel with nuclear weapons on the contrary. a third iran. the outcome. if a nuclear free middle east initiative was ever to w

white house is on meth. >> through all the idealology bob, no one is a bigger supporter of the party. talk us through the politics. >> officially it got compact in the democratic party. we'll see whether that holds or not. so far it is holding. two, from obama standpoint he has to consider the fact he has no major piece of legislation left. i think immigration reform is dead. it's virtually impossible to come through this and give yourself momentum unless you find something to get republicans to wrap around. i think it's an outside shop. it's going to be tough. the most important thing facing obama is what happens in the 2014 non presidential election year elections. that is going to be a very important thing because not only is the senate at stake, but your going to have a difficult time getting enough house votes to look plausibly down the road. >> how long have you felt like that? this morning when i woke up, i thought high hopes immigration, forget about it. you just commented. >> you were not there. >> he can read my mind apparently from the other end of the table. >> that's hone

tep ten republican senator bob corker was over at the white house for that meeting. he's back on capitol hill right now. the ranking member of the foreign relations committee. did you buy, senator, what the president was selling today as far as no new sanctions against iran, at least while these negotiations are under way? >> you know, wolf, we had a very good, you know, long detailed conversation about where things are. this weekend, obviously, in geneva, a break-through could occur. might not occur. i don't think anybody's looking at it as a fait accompli. i think you know senate business on the senate floor is such that there's not going to be any kind of amendment that passes. i think you know senator reid has filled the tree and tell your listening audience what that means is keep any kind of amendments from being heard on iran anyway. i'm going to assess here over the next couple hours, what the president said, how the conversation went, go over some of the details with our staff. let's face it, at the end of the day, there aren't going to be sanctions in place

white house and the press over obama care. that includes one of the country's most prominent investigative reporters. howard explains. >>> boboodward told me he got a call from an angry white house official who blamed him for the negative press over the president's health carrollout. why? >> because i started. >> started what? >> started this idea of he's got to lead and he's too passive at times on these budget issues. >> reporter: that was his conclusion in the book, "the price of politics." this means the official who scolded woodward is tieing the latest wave of criticism to a book publishes a year ago. obama is the country's ceo and still failing to lead on the health care mess. >> when the president made a mistake on one of the cabinet nominations, he came out and went public and said i screwed up, end of quote. i think they should do that. this obviously is a miscalculation or a screw up. it's not correct. it's right for the media to say let's straighten this out. >> reporter: that was shortly before the president's semiapology with nbc's chuck todd. it left many critics unsatisfied. >> this is not that complicated. y

white man. what kind of gun was it? was it a rifle? the policeman -- bob heard that it was a high-powered rifle, but there is no confirmation of that. but put the receiver up and it will function as a speaker. and let bob talk. bob, i'm told that this little thing that i have just attached to the telephone -- bob, could you say a few words for us? are you still there? >> [indiscernible] >> is this being broadcast, what he is saying right now? i realize you are in a terrible position and cannot get information while you're on the phone. do you think it would be better to remain on the phone? >> [indiscernible] >> yes, bob. this is being broadcast. >> [indiscernible] i have a medical student here and i will chat with him. i will be back in about five minutes. >> that is just fine, bob. >> to interrupt for a moment, we've just gotten this from dallas. president kennedy has been given blood transfusions at parkland hospital in an effort to save his life after he and governor john connally were shot in an assassination attempt. the word is still that the presid

>> so just before this agreement, president obama hosted bob corker and other key senators, again both democrats and republicans here at the white house. he wants them to hold off and harry reid in an interview out on national public radio basically signaled he is going to slow-walk this effort to apply more sanctions on iran. the administration wants them to at least put that off for six months, that appears to be the way it is going in congress now del. >> mike viqueria, in washington, thank you very much. >>> benjamin netanyahu is sendings his national security advisor to washington. benjamin netanyahu has warned that the deal will make the world a more dangerous place. al jazeera's nick schiffrin is joining us. >> del, i think you're seeing a real rift between the united states and iran because they have a ideological difference. if iran were to break out to decide to make a nuclear weapon even after this deal it would take them only six to eight weeks. that's why israel says this deal is unacceptable. they want a deal that would completely dismantle the iranian program. keeping up the white house and the congressional press

white house said they would be. greg, here is the future of the argument leading in to 2014 what bob said, he foreshadowed president obama did that as well came da, he said basically we wouldn't be having all these problems if republicans would have been more invested in making this work. listen. >> what was already going to be hard was operating within a very difficult political environment and we should have anticipated that that would create a rockier rollout than if democrats and republican were boast inveth inn success. one side is invested in failure and that makes i think the kind of iterative process of fixing glitches and fine tuning the law more challenging. >> you heard it, it's the republicans' fault. >> apparently he believes that one side sis invested in failur while the other side achieves failure. he had a conference call and you had to find a website to get on the conference call. turned out the website that you needed to get on also failed. so i'm wondering if they will get another website up to discuss the failed website that was used to discuss the failed website. and that is the beauty of burea

the chairman of the foreign relations committee bob menendez will be joining us tomorrow, an opponent. >> the white house has a circular firing squad here of allies both as you mentioned israel and in the arab world and also on the hill. all firing at them saying this is either a bad deal or could be better. in the case of israelis, criticizing the u.s. for giving away too much too soon. and hoping when negotiators return at a lower level than foreign minister level, maybe some of those differences can be bridged in a way that mollifies congress. right now the president's greatest problem, most immediate problem is probably with congress. >> that's the immediate problem. we've also seen a little breakage on the diplomatic front. with this opening with iran, we've had zarif, the foreign minister who everyone agrees is sort of the best bet. >> he's the best. >> for a breakthrough former u.n. ambassador very well-known to kerry and a lot of people in the west. he was tweeting in response to what kerry was telling arabs. he was telling arabs it was iran's fault, not the french. he was tweeting in his r
