jack kennedy would get really angry with the press he would roll with the punches and laugh. >> we wereg in the hall just now. barack obama, there is no real sense of humor, no humility. it's all about humility. ted cruz humility. rand paul scott walker, there is none of that now. neil: you know i have interviewed walker a few times, he has a bit of a bob newhart style of humor. i have no idea where this goes do i know that all of these guys and to hillary clinton and whoever else comes in the race they should remember it's a long race, and a few laughs aren't going to kill. >> you you know who has a tough job? "snl." watching darryl hammond come back as clinton is classic. how do you portray when you do a character on these things. whoever does marco rubio should not speak a word of english [ speaking in spanish ] >> all the time. you got to pick one thing about these characters because there's nothing. neil: he has a great humor as well. having interviewed him talking how his mother was a maid, and he just said i wasn't going to be mopping floors and all that, but maybe it takes time

edgar hoover warned jack kennedy often, bobby warned jack to break off the relationship hearing thatalm springs and hang out with sinatra. he had built a heliport for him there. and sinatra finds out he's going to hang with bing crosby a republican that weekend. why was that handled so badly. it obviously broke up their relationship? >> i think they were sending a message to frank sinatra and a rather ugly message. through his mob ties you know he helped swing the election for john f. kennedy both in the west virginia primary and then also in the general election in illinois. and when i think sam giancana convinced his mob buddies that had ties with the unions that the kennedys would go easy on us once they got elected, that wasn't so. bobby made sure of that. but then they were going to send a message to sinatra which is we can't associate with you because you're in bed with the mob, which was a deeply ireonic. he blamed bobby and he blamed joe. he never really blamed jfk though i think jfk was certainly in on it. >> jfk was wonderful, i know this at making somebody else take the hi

before obama you have to go back to senator jack kennedy to find a first term senator who was electedresident. presidential politics is a -- conservative governors who have done something, and may do better in 2016. some of those republican governors are mucking up their chances. just two weeks ago, indiana's governor mike pence, signed a controversial religious freedom law that some say simply ruined his chanced. lit politico said his dreams crumbled. the new jersey governor chris christie who isn't conservativeinate for some. a recent washington post headline says quote, is it already all over for chris christie? who is it to be in 2016? at this point in 2007, it looked like clinton would be the one. and it looked like romney for a while there in 2012. now it looks like clinton again. but we know how that worked out, at least once before. so i'm thinking the republican party needs to think about someone younger, with fresh ideas and traditional values with high regard for our constitution. and the working men and women and their families who make up our middle class. someone bright

gore: that is what i like, tennessee williams, jack kennedy, marlon brando.o a degree that is not possible in the age of aids. but we certainly were. it may have been the tension of the war. neither one of us were looking for completeness. we were looking for the excitement and adventure. charlie: there is the thing about running for congress. michael: he not only ran for congress, he also ran for the senate in the 1980's. against jerry brown. he did a credible job in both cases. in his 60's, i can remember, a notable night. he said, he wished he was dead. i said, why? because he said he has never realized the dream of his life which was to become president. i said, would you really want to be president? living in washington in the kind of goldfish bowl that is? he said, i would have simply had a marriage of convenience and a couple of kids like a lot of other senators. as i point out in the book there were other reasons he was completely unelectable. he didn't want to kiss babies, much people's behinds. i saw him at a fundraiser where he said, it is a pleasu

you see jack kennedy to the left. kennedy will be assassinated later that year in dallas, texas, in november. his vice president also visits gettysburg. lyndon johnson goes to gettysburg memorial day. lyndon johnson is from what state? texas, the lone star state. johnson has a very poignant memorial day speech. from johnson, this is may 30 1960's63 -- 1963. what is lyndon johnson doing? >> he is addressing the inequality of blacks in america even as a southerner from texas. jennifer murray: yes. it is important to note where they are doing this. they are doing this on the gettysburg battlefield. how does the speech have more power at gettysburg than somewhere in texas or even d.c.? >> gettysburg was the biggest battle of the civil war and the civil war was fought over slavery, despite what everyone was saying about it. jennifer murray: yes, he is using the power of the place to make more meaning or more power behind his message. >> it is not only that. the previous speeches at gettysburg had nothing to do with it. they

and the naysayers for the marshal plan and jack kennedy signed a ban treaty, and richard nixon conditionedith brezhnev and pushing for peace at camp david with others not resisting him. he ended up brokering a treaty with israel and then posed the greatest military threat in the region. of course, ronald reagan brought an end to the cold war working with gorbachev. today he resolved one of the greatest threats to world security. >> today, after many months of tough principled diplomacy, we have achieved the framework for that deal. and it is a good deal. a deal that meets our core objectives. this framework would cut off every pathway that iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon. we have a historic opportunity to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons in iran and to do so peacefully with the international community firmly behind us. we should seize that chance. >> let's go to andrea mitchell. the big story today, andrea? >> reporter: the big story today is the deal is a lot more specific than many people had imagined, partly because they had refused to give any details to keep the secre

jack kennedy was for free trade. he opened up trade. bill clinton certainly did nafta. he was a big free trader. hillary clinton at state department. we're not sure where she is now. she was for this deal. so this idea of the democratic progressives are against freep trade isn't established at the presidential level. when you have to protect local industries, continuing pattern. but not nationwide. the democratic party is not anti-trade. your thoughts? >> well first of all, the governors, 13 governors signed a letter to all the democrats in the congress including five from industrial states myself saying that this deal will increase jobs and increase high paying jobs. chris, the statistics are pretty clear. export jobs pay 18% more than nonexport related jobs do. if we're talking about highway jobs this is the area to do it. and consider ohio. what this deal does is it eliminates tariffs on goods. i'm going to give you five very good industries in ohio. soybeans, pork metals machinery products and chemicals. they have tariffs ranging from 30% to 70% to 100% for pork. al

jack kennedy's pollster could sense the countries restlessness. let's get this country going again.ther bobby said the key to winning primaries was to go out and meet people. that's what jack did and one. the word strategist is way overused in this business, i limit it to the people, started with james rowe. no one ever thought harry truman could win in 1948. but rowe saw the coalition and told truman how to rebuild it. he said the party spent too much on fund raiding and not enough on party building. he kept that on his desk every i think -- single day and this changed everything. we will hear a clear and compelling message. we'll see a successful campaign carrying it out to the voter. that's "hardball" for now, thank you for being with us. "all in" with chris hayes starts right now. >> tonight on "all in." >> it was not the subject or the source's fault. >> a legal troubles are just beginning for "rolling stone" as they finally retract their "rape on campus" story. >> the third one, i can't, oops. >>> plus, growing food in the desert. >> some people have for of a right to water th

point, there's a pattern over the last 30, 40 years that i've noticed, democratic presidents from jack kennedypports tpp, heard him over in tokyo, he's for it. why do you the leaders of the l country, do you see a picture picture than the average senator? i'm giving you a break because i think there's an argument here. the national interest, is there a bigger argument versus ohio versus the country or the future or pennsylvania because i look at those senators i do respect and they disagree with you. what's the difference in perspective? >> i think that there are a couple of things. one is that local congressmen, local senators, they feel, particularly if they are democrats, they feel the pain of folks who have been displaced by trade in the past. that's pretty powerful. if you go through a small town that has lost its main manufacturer, you know, and you talk to somebody who is 55, 60, 70 years old and they talk about the loss there of community and dignity of work. >> sure. >> that's a hard thing, so i understand sort of what they are going through, but my point is we have to understand what

this was an initiative that was a presidential initiative and the eisenhower administration and jack kennedy. now you are first lady do what presidents did before and that's true. it has become much more formal. >> i'm going to go over just a little bit and really just jump to one last question before we go to the questions from the audience, and as first lady indie media which is also been able from the very earliest days to come going to start with the modern one and that is answer the question of how nancy reagan managed to turn around that negative image. i don't know how many of you were around when the reagans first came but they are very unhappy reception from the press corps. so what she did was go to the press corps and despondent. diverted the gridiron dinner in washington, d.c. what did she just because she was known as, she bought these designer dresses, so she's queen nancy, marie antoinette they are comparing her to. some of it is funny but some of it is true. she goes to the gridiron -- to have a clip? she goes to the gridiron and people than i remember nancy herself is a form

. >> less than the idle encounter what i like jack kennedy marlon brando.the age of aids. we certainly were. maybe the tension of the war, i don't know what. so neither one of us was looking for completeness, we were looking for the excitement and the adventure. >> rose: then there was the whole thing about running for congress. he wanted to be a politician. >> he not only ran for congress in the early 60's when kennedy was running for president but he in the 80's ran for the senate in california. >> rose: against jerry brown. >> yes, against jerry brown and he did a credible job in both cases. when he was in his 60's, i can remember it was very notable night because again it was the night when he said that he wished he were dead but i said why would you wish you were dead he said because i never realized the dream of my life which was to become president. and i said gore, would you really want to be president would you really want to be living in washington in the kind of gold fish bowl that that is. and he said well i would simply had a marriage of conven

they were not franklin roosevelt or jack kennedy. but they had nouns and verbs. [laughter] they did not say like, you know, or actually. [applause] >> with your scope of history do you see a repeat of history from the concept of studying the 1930's with hitler slowly rising and now, the slow rising of, let's say isis. do you see a parallel between the world turning their heads away from reality that is coming? mr. mccullough: i do not know. i think there is a difference. i do not believe we ever had the atrocities -- the atrocities committed by hitler were kept secret. the atrocities being committed by isis, they are flaunting on television. they may even be doing them in order to let the world see how cruel they can be in their mission. if you take -- there is a three letter word at the heart of all of this -- oil. if you take that away, who the hell are they? truly. the only reason they have the only reason they have this grip on us is because we are addicted to oil. that is no small product. look at any one of your route 95's. i am not sure that our policy tow

initiative because this was an initiative that was a presidential initiative in the eisenhower and jack kennedy. you have a first lady doing what president did before and that's true. it has become much more formal. >> i'm going to go just a little bit and really just jump to one last question and go to the questions on the audience and that's first lady and the media which has also been a role for the very earliest days. i'm going to start with a modern one and that is answer the question of how nancy reagan managed to turn around that negative image. i don't know how many of you were around when the reagans first initiative very unhappy reception from the press corporate what she did was to go to the press corps and disarm them. you heard of the gridiron dinner in washington, d.c. what did she give? >> she was not as come she bought the designer dresses. she's queen nancy marie antoinette better competitor to. it's funny for some of it is cruel. she goes to the gridiron, do we have a clip? she goes to the gridiron and people than all remember nancy herself as a former thespian can not just he

jack kennedy great -- best line in the book i found in drew pearson's unpublished diary. he couldn't believe that rockefeller would risk everything by getting a divorce. he told kay graham no man would ever love love more than politics, which probably tells you more about him than anything else. but it does sum up the prevailing view. c-span: did you happen to ask happy rockefeller when you were with her for that half a day anything about the personal relationship? >> guest: yeah, she talked very candidly about it. i remember telling her something that bill scranton had said to me -- c-span: who was bill scranton? >> guest: former governor of pennsylvania, recently deceasedment -- deceased. close to rockefeller personally politically. certainly because of his own main lane connections he knew both -- c-span: and ran for president. >> guest: and ran in '64. he liked them both. he thought todd was very intelligent, he liked her, but he always thought that she and nelson were mismatched. i said, what do you mean? he said, well, you have to understand, nelson was a man more t

his name was jack kennedy, a good friend.cardinal spellman helped fdr out in the 36 election by getting him to sit on a father who had them in trouble. my point is that now that we have diversified the country after the 1965 law, why do we go back to what worked? when you had some of the sponsoring summary coming here. just having a place to stay for a month, tell you who avoid, who to seek out, where the places you should go, where the places you shouldn't go -- it's invaluable. my pairs to the same thing for a lot of the illegal irish the came out in the 1980's. my mother was financially set by 1986. i live in sunnyside, queens. i left there in 1987 because my mom was insane, she just wanted to buy houses. but when we go back to the law that worked -- why don't we go back to the law that worked? -- [inaudible] donald: there's a financial responsibility attached to that as well. everybody heard that right? >> mostly for kevin. what is there in ways of legislation is coming that has been talked about after they gave up on att

. >> who ever would have guessed jack kennedy would have become the great president he was?looked at his house and senate records, you never would have guessed he would become such a great president, and he was. you look at reagan's record, what he ran on in '76, he wouldn't with endorse kemp-roth at that time. he was a spending cutter. and all of a sudden, dang, he becomes great. bill clinton, look at bill clinton. david: yeah. >> '94 -- david: well, it took him two years. it wasn't just the primaries it took two years of failed policy to get him in the right direction. >> exactly, but when they look at the truth some of them actually change and adopt -- david: well, unless you're afraid of the truth. and, you know, to use the old line from the movie, you know if you can't handle the truth, it's something else. >> that's obama. david: hillary clinton is not facing a primary, a real, credible primary challenge. >> bad luck for her. david: some people say she may in order to pull the rug out from somebody like marco rubio who doesn't have a very strong supply side, pro-growth

trying to be like jack kennedy. let's expand our relations in the world positively. not with power.using military power everywhere we go, try to expand the united states influence in the islamic world establish potentially down the road a better relationship with iran. try to expand our relationships with asian countries, pacific countries. and challenge to china which is peaceful. it's peaceful competition is what he's trying to do. >> let's switch to hillary clinton for just a second before i let you get out of here. campaign, ten days old now. what's your assessment so far? >> no harm done yet. no great shakes yet. you know. no great shakes and no harm done is a pretty good assessment. >> if you're not failing, you're succeeding. what do you make of the meetings that she's having round table discussions, you have yet to see her in front of a large group. >> i think it's language training, to be blunt. gradually getting used to the conversation, you and i are engaged in this all the time. if you're in the public affairs world, a journalist or the other side politicians, you're con

but neocons support, like jack kennedy was a neocon.n a non- neocon at a democrat is the democrats today don't believe in the use of force unless absolutely positively they have to. and at a minimum risk of loss of american life. i think that is why israel comes up more often than not i did not hear an antiseptic we will to hearing some people mean jews. i get that all the time. time. i'm just an irish catholic boy from ohio. they believe in american exceptionalism. >> host: hugh hewitt indiana. would you be standing behind governor of be one of the business folks? >> guest: i would i would be with them. a big believer of religious liberty. i believe that any individual or business that has a deeply felt conviction about to his principles if your serving people i make this gradation. photography, forests kate baker. forests, unless there being asked to be there during the ceremony to which they object they had to sell flowers and leave. the real issue is not the floors to the caterer. the real issue is whether or not a store that is sta

was looking down the gesture sold his thorny crown, and jack be nimble jack be quick that is supposed to be about president kennedyimism turning to despair at the end of it. there were estimates that the manuscript -- that bit was crossed out, it could have gone for $1.5 billion. but in the end it sold for 1.2. and don mcclain said his family is not mercantile which is why he had to sell. >> so are we going to find out what it all means? >> he said that he will. but it could be -- and this has happened before that he actually only does to the buyer of the song. and it's kind of in his interest because this is a song that has been talked about since 1972 when it was a hit. >> is there a confident sheety agreement? >> no, no no. but he has said he will so we'll have to see. >> john ter rit thank you. i'm stephanie sy the news continues next live from doha. ♪ >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ >>> hello and welcome to the news hour. i'm in doha. here is what is coming up in the next 60 minutes. >> we know they are close. and they are watching us. and we have watching them. >> saudi arabia's forces train their eyes o

kennedy. he was the most reluctant warrior. and the notes of jack valenti. there is a chapter in my book the decision. the decision to the one chapter that was written largely on the basis of jack valenti's notes. i was not in the white house for a good part of it. it shows you how eisenhower was of president, john forced the french were in trouble. and forced one today send troops. and um the majority of the senate linden johnson was totally opposed to that. everybody in the administration would have to remember to put perspective. assassinated in september late september. with the approval and the independence gas station. 63. johnson becomes president. and chaos in south vietnam. and in the pentagon then. i know that. great pressure from secretary mcnanera. he would come back from the white house and say the president is not going to make a decision in the misof a presidential campaign. the day after the election mcnamera had five alternatives built up and thought that johnson would approve of them. instad he sent bundy to vietnam twice. he sent bob over

with his quick irish wit, jack returned the toast, here is to 1952, senator kennedy, if you can make today they are together again in eternal rest at arlington, but their legacies are alive as ever. the edward m kennedy institute for the united states senate is an example of the hard frustrating, and never-ending but critical work required to make that ideals and real. what more fitting tribute, what better testament to the life of ted kennedy than this place? any of us who have had the privilege to serve in the senate know that it is impossible not to share the all that he has for the institute -- share the awe that he has for the institute of the senate, an awe that he shared with his brother jack. it is good to see trent and tom daschle here, they remember what customs was like. [laughter] ted gave a speech only because he felt there was a topic, the civil rights act, that demanded it. nevertheless, he spoke with humility. whoever has said that the senator should speak in lautner -- speak and not learn, should not teach, and some of you have not followed this lesson, but fortunate

and with his quick irish with jack would turn the toast here's a 1962 senator kennedy, if you can maketon. the john f. the john f. kennedy library next-door, the symbol of our american idealism the edward m kennedy institute for the united states senate as a living example of the hard, frustrating, never ending but critical work required to make that idealism real. what more fitting tribute what better testament to the life of ted kennedy than this place that he left for a knew generation of americans a monument not to himself but to what we the people have the power to do together. any of us who have had the privilege to serve in the senate know that it is impossible not to share tags off for the history swirling around you and all in still is still that him by his brother jack. dad waited more than one year to deliver his 1st speech on the senate floor. that is no longer the custom. [laughter] it is good to see trent and tom daschle here because they remember what customs are like back then. and ted gave a speech only because he felt there was a topic the civil rights act that demand
