charlie: what did he think about jack kennedy? doris: i think he liked jack kennedy. charlie: you emphasize the jack. [laughter] doris: he said, he was a little whippersnapper when i was majority leader. i gave him a committee assignment. he felt that he was on top of jack kennedy. that's why being vice president with a reversal. he blamed everything on bobby. he hated him. charlie: why? doris: my husband knew bobby and i think lobby's anger towards lyndon is once he got popular as president, he thought he was eclipsing jack kennedy's memory. my husband trying to make them feel better says, don't worry about that. julius caesar only had three years. bobby said, it helps to have shakespeare write about you. [laughter] i think that is what happened in bobby's eyes. charlie: lyndon's success made it hard? doris: i think so. i don't think he liked him all along, but for lyndon johnson, all the anger he felt about being upstaged by president kennedy put it on the brother. some people don't like each other, and it was not exaggerated that they were mortal enemies. charlie: t

his opponent gave this scathing response. >> i served with jack kennedy. i knew jack kennedy. jack kennedy was a friend of mine. senator, you're no jack kennedy. >> that flawless response earned benson huge applause and a moment in the spotlight but it didn't win the election. in 2000, al gore made himself heard while debating george w. bush. gore was mocked for his heavy sighs. columnist maureen dowd likened his behavior to a country song she called, you've been sighing and lying. others described him as a teacher's pet, annoying and irritating. gore took a hit, falling five percentage points in the cnn today gallup poll. remember this moment? >> commerce, education and the -- what is the third one there? let's see. >> republican candidate rick perry, unable to remember the third government agency he promised to shut down. the meltdown went viral and was spoofed on saturday night live. >> all three. ready? commerce. oh, god. i only know one now. >> still, perry's memory lost only lost him one percentage point in the cnn tracking poll. when mitt romney tried to bet opponent ri

himself and jack kennedy. >> ms. crowley: he never said i did this and kennedy did this. he said while the candidates did that in the third person which i thought was interesting. he considered kennedy a challenger and thought he had a constructive relationship with him when they were in the congress together. he did think, though, kennedy had been a reckless president, reckless in his personal life and with the national security. >> ms. crowley: ford pardoned him. did he talk about that? no. he said he didn't think ford was in the presidency long enough to issue a judgment on ford's presidency. >> host: here is a quote about gerald ford from the book. . poor gerald ford. he was concerned about presidential photos and me signing them. he calls me for that. he's busy making speeches for big money. no one gives me credit for not taking a time for a speech. ford was the first to take money. ike and truman never did. ford is out there accumulating a fortune by selling their experiences in office. i know it is tempting but it is just not right. besides when ford talks does any

he said, well, all they can say about jack kennedy is he served on a p.t. boat in world war ii. and he turned around to howard baker and said my own son-in-law, howard baker jr. served on a p.t. boat in 1960 in world war ii, and i never heard anyone seriously suggest he was qualified to serve in any public office. and six years later he was a new united states senator. a few years later he was the majority leader. i met him in 1966. i was a law clerk for judge wisdom in washington. and i had admired howard baker. at that time we had a one-party system, all democratic from tennessee. i volunteered to work in his senate campaign in '66. i never heard from him. i was visiting there over my hometown at easter break. i went over and got an appointment in his office and volunteered for his campaign. eventually he paid me a little bit. and then he won. so he brought me to washington with him. and i came to this very office in january of 1967. as his legislative assistant. >> now that you occupy his offices, you must think about the history made him. >> a lot of history. i called up fra

. >> no, i think roosevelt had theater and jack kennedy did and kennedy, they brought a show with them. >> the scary -- >> a lot of these other guys are stiffs that's why he's walking through them like a knife through butter. >> he could prove if he was elected president that anyone could do it. >> do you think so? can anybody make $11 billion? >> i mean -- >> dollars. >> he's sucking up to who he hates now. >> your last word because you had the most serious point about the president we have now but i want to keep the focus on the president we might have. this guy is in fourth place as a probability. this isn't just a joke anymore. he may be a joke. if you look at the other guys he's up against, they aren't that great. just aren't. >> they are not showing you made a great point. this president did elect an actor before and look, i think donald trump represents something we don't like to acknowledge which is the ugly american. beware of being the ugly american. there is a stereo type rolling over other people and flaunting wealth and kind of politically incorrect. it's a terrible stereo

. >> would jack kennedy have been admitted if he had addison's disease? would he have been elected?i don't know. >> i don't know how you talk with your brain, you're saying the brain has cancer. it is so personal. it is almost frightening. >> this guy is someone who explained to america in very easy to use terms for his entire life what was going on in front of them. he did it in 1976 which got them elected. then later, he spoke on disease, poverty on, all of his humanitarian efforts. and even when i disagreed with him a lot on israel and apartheid, even when you disagreed with him, there is a tremendous value that he brought to raising issues. and even today, raising the issue of cancer. >> he was direct on benjamin netanyahu today, wasn't he? let's listen to him talk about his regrets in life. >> anything you wish? that you had not done or that you had done differently? >> i wish i had sent one more helicopter to get the hostages. we would have rescued them and i wofbl reelected. but that may have interfered in the foundation of the carter center. if i had to clues between four mo

whether it is jack kennedy or anybody else. >> the parties have flipped the scripts on each other. >> they've cross dressed. >> that's one way to put it. the democrats are making it easier for hillary. you heard martin o'malley complain about the debate schedule. on the republican side, it is wild, wild west. a real opportunity for the party to do a couple things show. case the talent that has been grouped and developed and the governors, the senators, the business community. that's been good. the second thing is to have what you'll see tonight. a really frothy debate about what matters to this leadership. >> big question is when trump is attacked. he might unload. here's taste of the trump dump leading up to tonight. a preview of tonight's attractions. >> marco rubio? >> i think he is highly overrated. >> he's a jack ass. >>> what a stiff. >> lindsey graham. gave me his number. and i found the card. i wrote the number down. i don't know if it is the right number. let's try it. 202 -- [ bleep ]. >> have you no sense of decency, sir? >> he put glasses on so people will think he's smart

>> i went back and actually read jack kennedy's speech, and it was idealistic.said we should not wave the finger of accusation or issue indictments. i think the president was urn yielding, passionate but he did not make a successful pitch to the critics. this is a technologically flawed agreement and the president should have attempted to broaden the parameters of this, the parameters of the conversation about this agreement. i think in that sense the president missed his mark and i think it was unwise. >> ifill: nicholas burns, what do you think about the president's tone in particular? >> gwen, i thought the president made a very strong case on the merits, an impassioned case because i think this may be, for him, his most important foreign policy issue. i think he made two important points -- one, this deal is going to freeze iran's gnarl program, they have been on the march ten years. it will freeze them ten or 15 years, put them under i.a.e.a. safeguards, and this deal means iran will be set back to a year to being able to produce a weapon and all this done

>> jack kennedy, right.doesn't need to be a political partisan issue, but it has become one. >> exactly. it's good economics. >> you know, i think the other piece of this that the republicans are going to have to turn to is the regulatory environment. how do you change the regulatory environment to give companies an incentive to hire and expand. that's going to have to be a big talking point for the next year for them. >> huge. trish: i suspect that we'll probably hear some of that from donald trump. if you were just going to take a shot in the dark here, art laffer, and guess what his tax plan might look like -- >> i think, i think his tax plan will be right in line with the good tax plans of the other republican candidates. here is a man who has spent his life trying to minimize his tax bill, legally of course, and he knows all the ins and outs and all the problems of the tax codes. i can't imagine anyone better personally for being able to correct the tax codes than -- trish: so simplify it via a flat tax

. >> jack kennedy, he was a pretty boy. marco rubio, he's a pretty boy.the young people of today like you know a handsome guy in office. but he doesn't have what it takes. >> joining us now our pollster out of cleveland tonight. you've got to love people. because they are just brutally honest. i thought that was favorable. rubio seems well-liked. the polls show that. blue caller background. comes across well. that seems to bode well for him long term right? >> and that's the point. he's not doing that great in the polls right now. he's at 6%. most surveys have him somewhere around 7th or 8th. what rubio has he's everybody's second choice. he's got the highest favorable to unfavorable of any of the presidential candidates. and the highest would consider vote. so what you saw there are people who are not yet convinced. but they're absolutely giving him an open mind. he's one of the candidates i'll be watching for tomorrow. can he deliver the goods to people who like him and want to love him? >> let's look at the dials on rubio talking about terrorism and se

[laughter] professional women and men 30 years apart just didn't get married in the 1970s. his cousins urged him to see a psychiatrist. so faced with all this opposition we of course got married. there is a question people don't ask me about timeless, although i can see how much they would like to. there was a time i prayed this question wouldn't be asked but we just celebrated our 30th anniversary and tomorrow is father's day, so let me answer this question before you can't ask it. did i marry my father? do we marry people similar to our mothers and fathers? i'd like to reply by reading a short

"again for the kennedys it was death but this time the death of an innocent woman. one of the many bright, attractive young people drawn to the center of things by the magnetic magic of the kennedy name and fame." barely a year after the death of bobby kennedy, teddy drove off a bridge on chappaquiddick island killing his 28-year old passenger, mary jo kopechne.
