around jack kennedy.issile crisis, my father was vilified. >>> we'll play two pieces of video here, we'll start at the 1960 convention, adlai stevenson at the podium. here it is. >> i won't attempt to tell you how grateful i am. for this moving welcome. the 1960 democratic convention. i -- however, i have an observation, after getting in and out of the biltmore hotel and this hall i know who you will nominate, it will be the last survivor. >> details of my participation haven't been worked out, i would gladly campaign where he wanted me to in the north and west and the east able possibly in between. >> do you think you can persuade all the tooefenson followers to vote for kennedy? >> i hope so. >> how you will go about it? >> i hope they'll support it vigorously in the same manner that i do. >> i hope they'll follow vigorously as they did in los angeles, governor. >> i hope they'll follow you as vigorously as they followed me in los angeles. >> we saw a little bit from the convention and then at the press

circle around jack kennedy.y father was vilified. >> and we're going to get to that in just a minute. but we're going to play two pieces of video here. we're going to start at the 1960 convention, adlai stevenson at the podium. here it is. >> i won't attempt to tell you how grateful i am for this tumultuous and moving welcome to the 1960 democratic convention. i have, however, an observation. after getting in and out of the biltmore hotel in this hall, i've decided that i know who you're going to nominate. it will be the last survivor. >> details of my participation have not been worked out, but i've told senator kennedy that i'd gladly campaign where he wanted me to, and i suspect that will be in the east, in the west and possibly in between. >> dr. stevenson, do you think you can dissuade all of the stevenson followers to vote for senator kennedy? >> i hope so. >> what would you do about it? how would you go about it? >> well, i hope by this participation in the campaign that i haven't had much doubt that they

and jack kennedy came within an eyebrow of winning that nomination. kennedy later on said, of course, not being on the ticket was probably the best things that had ever happened to him. it introduced him to the country, paved the way for his campaign in 1960. it is also safe to say -- i would defer to newt on this -- that the way in which governor stevenson flirted with the draft in 1960 and held back -- in fact, one of the distinguished visitors who came to this house one day was jack kennedy who very much wanted adl a stevenson's endorsement, who didn't get it, who did not go away i think with his admiration of the governor enhanced. and if he was ever going to be secretary of state, i think that possibility probably went down the drain right then. >> and we will talk a little bit later about the kennedy relationship and his years as u.n. ambassador. but the results in 1956 -- adlai stevenson won 73 electoral votes. he won seven states in 1956. he won nine in about 1 million less than he got four years earlier. dwight eisenhower, 457 electoral votes.

while jack kennedy said stay away from the funeral, bobby kennedy did what he often did from jack's advice and he ignored it and he went and he was going to stand up for his buddy joe mccarthy. that that was bobby kennedy the loyalist. you can say i don't know what you think of the joe mccarthy but there is something noble about him being there when there is a potential risk. the other half of bobby kennedy back then was a bobby kennedy who knew someday he wanted to his brother to be president and he someday he might run from office himself. he went to the funeral, he showed up for his buddy joe mccarthy, but he was going to make sure nobody was going to see him and anybody who saw him was not going to talk about it. the two sides of bobby kennedy, the loyal sigh, the real aside, real aside, that is who bobby kennedy was back then. that is i say who america was back then in the conservative era of eisenhower. so he starts out as the ultimate cold war hero just like his dad joe kennedy was. i'll take it from the year of 1957 to a moment that i think was, bobby kennedy had any single epiphan

thought communism was a huge threat so did bobby kennedy you that there is only one person so while jack kennedy said from the funeral he did what he often does he ignore that so that was bobby kennedy the loyalist in you could say there was something noble the other half back then was bobby kennedy who do some day he may run for office himself. to make sure nobody would see him. so the two sides the realist side in that is to america was back then. they start out as the cold warrior. intended any moment in life in 1963 bobby kennedy had come home from work on the justice department was swimming in his pool just outside of washington and was settling back to have a great munchy and go back to work. at that moment the phone rings in it is bought hot line into the white house. by the way it is a huge bone of contention. is specially was not good news on the of the end of the line also one that he most hated in the world was j. edgar hoover. as a monotone and other communist at howard university. that your brother has been shot now somebody said your brother is dead. in that moment that changed bob

it introduced jack kennedy to the country. there were a lot of big things for it. and resentful. in this case, concern that stevenson was a threat. people were pouring in from across the country. they were literally hint -- cameron on the at the 1960 convention. adlai stevenson at the podium. >> i wanted to tell you how grateful i am. for this he moving well, of the 1960 democratic convention. [applause] i have an observation. after getting in and out of the hotel and at this hall, i decided i know you will nominate. it will be the last survivor. [applause] >> the details of my participation have not been worked out, but i would drive the campaign were i -- or he wanted me to. i suspect that will be in the west and the east and everywhere in between. i hope so. >> what would you do about it? how would you go about it? >> i hope by the participation in the campaign i have not had much doubt that they would support the ticket. i hope they will supported vigorously in the same manner that i did. >> i hope it will fall you as vigorously as you did in los angeles. almos

and nobody better but jack kennedy filed that bill. but the only one of his advisers if you file a civil rights bill 51 to win reelection 64 imagine it is one who bobby kennedy was. essentially that was a different generation. and then to be listed in the navy. that is what kennedy ended up with. and to be a little inadequate spending so much of his life and when he was born but early generation of kennedy kids. that is the run of the zero letter. but then he wanted to show his dad he could get things done. and what he boasted to endure it at the end and there was nothing more important that executed that the state. other than bobby kennedy. one more question. >> my question is what do you think that bobby kennedy would have thought about the younger bobby kennedy? >> unknown owe this will then but that was the perfect last question. and while i thought i was being tough and i used precisely that standard. in what he said about the mccarthy era but in the early days it looks like standing up as a threat. but was town deaf to all of his

lyndon johnson tried to keep jack kennedy from the presidency putting out word he suffered from addison's. if he didn't, kennedy might never have been a president. saying a joke he wouldn't use his opponent's youth against him, ray gone got re-elected. and reagan quipped he didn't want to pick on an invalid and that was cheap shot. and the kind we're getting directed by donald trump, right now at hillary clinton, a cheap shot there. there ought to be a special political graveyard for politicians who attack someone's health, makes me think this one about hillary clinton might be directed by her gender, don't you think? i'm not the only one that thinks that. dick nixon did the same thing to his rival in the senate race y saying campaigning is hard on a woman. i i think -- donald trump keeps saying hillary ought to get more sleep these days, maybe he ought to try it. at thes a s that's it for tonight. all in with chris hayes starts right now. >>> tonight on all in. >> i want our party to be the home of the african-american voter once again. >> the trump outreach continues. >> i was very move

all the delegates from pennsylvania and you can imagine between jack kennedy and bob kennedy there were smoke rooms and you can imagine that they talked about real things, could he win, could he govern, et cetera. i want you to imagine donald trump being in a room with the e qif -- equivalent of governor lawrence and lighting a cigar and saying, oh, yeah, i'm going to build a wall and make mÉxico pay for it. the governor would say, being a person who has run a government, would say, what, what are you smoking in that cigar? [laughter] >> okay. it just wouldn't pass the smell test. we lost peer review. the only peer review that we have is in the press these days but the press has fallen victim to the click-bait, you know, society where they just want clicks and clicks and clicks. so they are not very interested in what a candidates know or how realistics plans are. i don't have a clear answer to that problem as i do to the first one, to organizing the white house. it is clear that we have to do a better job of evaluating not just what presidents say, but can they do it. when they fail, a

they genuinely have people who set their sites on it as jack kennedy did, as bill clinton did as ronald reagan did and say this is what i want more than anything. >> right, right. >> rose: i want my chance. >> it's absolutely the story of personal drive and achievement and they're aware what comes in. where they attach. >> rose: they are in the end are the deciders. >> what are they wanting for their country. campaigns are in a sense for people feel control over their country a little bit. what is it they want control over and what is it that appeals to them. >> rose: what kind of place do they want us to be. >> yes. when you have, you know, speakers at the conventions referring back to the words that were written by those founders, the continuity that each campaign with bring with the american experience going back to first principles whether you know this is what we are and what we believe in. it's a beginning and gathering the family around the table and saying we've gotten off course, let's go back to what our first principles are and there's a debate what those first principles are

you can imagine that between jack kennedy and bobby kennedy and his whole campaign there were many smoke-filled rooms with cigars and brown liquid being consumed and you can imagine that the talked about real things. they talked about could he win. they talked about could he govern etc. i want you to imagine donald trump is being enough room with the equivalent of governor lawrence and lighting a cigar and drinking his whiskey and saying, oh, yeah i'm going to build a wall and make mexico pay for it. of the governor would say being a person who has run a government would say, what. what are you smoking that cigar, okay i'm in it just wouldn't pass the smell test. we have lost something of pure review. the only pure review we have in that-- this is a very close, but it is in the press these days. the press has fallen victim to the click date, you know, society where they just want clicks and clicks and clicks, so they are not very interested in drilling down on what a candidate knows or how realistic his or her plans are. i don't have as clear an answer to that problem is i due to the first one,

in 1960, jack kennedy had to win the support of governor lawrence of pennsylvania in order to win the nomination. he controlled all the delegates from pennsylvania. you can imagine that between kennedy and bobby kennedy, there are money filled rooms with cigars and brown liquid being consumed. you can imagine that they talked about real things. they talk about could he win, they they talk about could he govern, et cetera. i want you to imagine donald trump being in a room with the equivalence of governor lawrence and lighting a cigar and drinking his whiskey and saying, zero yeah, i'm in a a bill the wall and make mexico pay for. the governor would say, being being a person who runs a government, what? what are you smoking in that cigar? it just wouldn't pass the smell test. we've lost something of peer-reviewed. the only peer review that we have, and this is a very close, is it press these days, but the press has fallen victim to the quick bait society where they just want clicks and clicks and clicks and so they're not very interested in drilling on what a candidate knows or how rea

catholic homes, jack kennedy.peoplethe idea in the ghettos and slums of jamaica could think for themselves and could even to the point of maybe forming their own government was just unthinkable. both sides the right-wing and wing both hated that. ,he was becoming too much of a unifier, i think. there is a character that says bad is bad for somebody. he was disrupting that way too much. that was one of the reasons, i think, the idea that some one side may have wanted him to become a martyr and the other wanted a racist influence. marley, the only person on the level of marley i can think of is maybe -- i think of another artist where so many forces working against them at least at once even while he is trying to create these brilliant records. every day is a negotiation between some of the most dangerous men in the country. probably days before, he was eating food and smoking weed with. this is why the attack on marley, the attack on the house is this outrageous as event because of the house being the sanctuary in

victory so large that no one could say he was simply filling the office of what would've been jack kennedy'sted a landslide because then he knew he'd get his legislation passed. roosevelt was his hero, and i think that johnson said to himself that, "i'm going to be as good as roosevelt -- maybe even better." if he came in as a powerhouse, and with strength like that, it was going to be tough for the congress to turn him down on the difficult things he wanted to get passed. [ cheers and applause ] >> sabato: we are used to conventions today that are completely scripted and utterly boring. >> my fellow americans, i accept your nomination. [ cheers and applause ] >> sabato: what i think was significant about the democratic convention -- it also began the tradition of heavily scripted conventions. they carefully thought about what should happen each evening, what people at home would see. new jersey was picked, in part, because at the time, it voted republican quite often, and it was part of that northeast republic philosophy. >> and let none of us stop to rest until we have written into the law

jack kennedy offered that in response to a question from the press about him calling up military reservisto active dutiesy and the dislocation that causes their family. but it's the conversation of donald trump that's brought that to the surface. does anyone not know this? especially in matters of peace and war, treading so heavy into our lives. the khan family had a son go off to battle, he showed the grace of courage, he gave of himself so others could live. he met the highest moral standard. he gave his life for others. donald trump has only one thing to say on this matter, and then no more. he has to express that minimum of human regard to once having heard of what captain khan did for his buddies and his countries, showing quiet respect for the fact of human life, that the very good can die young. that the best we humans can do when it occurs, if nothing better, than offer a moment of silence and love and gratitude that we have such heroes and recognize that fate is no kinder to those ready to give all. as president kennedy said before he was taken young, that life is unfair, as is de

so now that jack kennedy said the same thing when he was the losing vice presidential nominee -- yeahn 1960, charlie barkley was saying, why don't you slow down a little bit? truman said the same thing. he said i got to go now, or they will forget me. so i would not say he started it all, but after jackson loses in he is running for 1828 in 1825. starts, we think of starting early as a modern thing. charlie: ronald reagan ran four times. john: i mean beginning the next campaign the minute you and the last one. charlie: and ted cruz. john: running from the republican convention in -- for charlie: taking a stand 2020. because if things go really bad for donald trump, he can say, i saw this coming, i took a great risk. john: there was a parallel with what rockefeller was trying to do in 1964 when he is booed at the convention for goldwater. rockefeller thinks rockefeller , could have, he did have his moment again after that. he took a similar stand in 1964 that ted cruz took and got the same kind of reception. charlie: that he would come back in 1968. john: thought he would come back in

. >> the best form of welfare, as jack kennedy put it, is a good paying job.lowered taxes, sound money, free trade, minimal regulations, we would get that growth. >> she's not going to do that. she has all kinds of programs that she wants everybody in america to pay for. >> of course she does. but look, what she wants more than anything else is exactly what this administration has had for the last eight years. i call it the great abdication. congress and the white house, they've abdicated their leadership authority to the federal reserve. it's easy to implement any policy you want in washington, as long as interest rates are basically at zero. a fiscal borrowing cost for the last year have been 1.8%. you can pass a lot of friendly ledge laegislation when money i. >> jfk cut taxes. he had an economic policy that would be in line with what art would think is good today. >> let's be consistent. art, you keep talking about cutting taxes. the reality is, the budget deficit keeps growing. i want to hear republicans who are concerned about the budget deficit, address

jack kennedy's. they always put out the records. >> if people aren't going to believe what a doctor says what's the point? >> put out the records. then we can see. >> it was reported in 2012 clinton suffered a fall in her home, conspiracy theories have been pushed about the former secretary's health. sean hannity as i said of fox news has invited doctors to try to speculate on clinton's alleged medical conditions based on video and photographs of the candidate. here's a clip from last week. >> was there a possibility she had a mini stroke, tia? what do you think, doc? >> you know, the picture you showed as she's going up the stairs speaks a million words. is she really fatigued, is she dehydrated. one of the main reasons why she fell in 2012 and had the concussion was severe dehydration. they are holding her and going up the stairs so she may be really dehydrated, she may have arthritis, she may have fallen again. we don't know. there are a lot more questions that are unanswered. >> there's a thing i

not jack kennedy, not harry truman, not bill clinton. none of them. okay? and so -- so -- now you're thinking this obama he is not as bad as we thought, that's actually pretty impressive. but the democrats have won popular votes, pluralities in five of the six last presidential elections and if they prevail again going forward, the republicans don't sort of rethink their formulas then they are going to be in the minority for a while. okay. that's the presidency. now, how does that interact with the court whose justices are picked politically but have life tenure, don't have to leave if they don't want to? well, there are these special moments when the new rising president confronts the ghosts of administrations past in the form of these holdover justices that have been appointed by the other party, the party that you ran against, you know, change -- because presidents are change agents, they always are promising sort of a new thing. most of them fail. most presidents actually fail. it's an impossible job. but the few who succeed, the jeffersons, the lincoln

homes of jack kennedy. >> but the idea that people in the ghettos in the slums of jamaica to think for themselves. and could even to the point of forming their own government was this unthinkable both sides, the right wing and the left wing both hated that. so he was just becoming too much of a unifier, i think. there's a character in the book that says bad times or good times is somebody. and he was disrupting that way too much. and that's one of the reasons i think, you know, the idea of that one side may have want to become a martyr and the other side wanted racial influence. the only person on the level of marley i can think of is maybe koozy. i cannot think of another artist who had so many forces working against them at once, even as he's trying to create. he's doing these brilliant records. and every day's a negotiation between some of the most dangerous men in the country. who probably days before he was eating food and smoking weed with which is why the attack on marley, the attack on the house was outrageous as the attack on him because of that house being this big sanctuary

that is only 3 years older than jack kennedy was. he is a young man. and he has been on the verge of power and national notoriety even before the 1940. he is in asked district attorney. he is not even governor. he was the district attorney of manhattan. he was mr. district attorney, crime buster, the guy who went after the mob, put him in jail and went after the wall street guy, put them in jail. he did it all. he was spectacular as the district attorney but as governor he begins to trim his sails. he is looking at the polls and the candidate the same way. even though he is the purported front-runner and he is the front-runner in terms of delegates at this point, he is not particularly loved in the party or among the population but in this debate, he is the former district attorney. he is a great prosecutor. stassen was a prosecutor too but evidently the prosecutors in manhattan have to be tougher than the prosecutors in minnesota and do dewey pleads his clock. stassen is essentially left bleeding on the floor after that primary. dewey wins it but he s

and also, did hubert humphrey and jack kennedy get along very well when they were running against eachn 1960? and in 1956 when they actually vied for the vice presidential nomination to run with governor adlai stevenson, who ultimately they lost to the senator of tennessee? >> right, thank you so much, kurt. well, we're going to take those in order. first, his relationship with ronald reagan. >> he was a lifelong friend of ronald reagan's. and ronald reagan was pretty much the same politics back in those days. he was the head of the actor's union, actors' guild. he was a democrat and pretty much had the same philosophy as humphrey. ronald reagan changed, humphrey remained the same. but they did remain friends all those years and great respect for each other. >> barry goldwater. >> barry goldwater and hubert humphrey were even better friends. absolutely. the best story i heard about their friendship, they were giving speeches in iowa on the back of a hay wagon on a farm. they just ripped each other apart in these back-to-back speech, and someone drove through town later in the day and s

it is the dance that jack kennedy and richard nixon due in 1960. we have the black vote in the north, the southern white vote. kennedy carries both. the same thing occurs with the peace votes and the pro-war people in 1916. wilson runs a campaign "he kept us out of work." and its use is doing this dance. and he ends up losing both sides really. he loses the pro-war people and the people who want to stay neutral. he is branded as being pro- german. you see these editorial cartoons. with the irish nationalists and all those. and the other day, the german- americans vote goes to wilson. it does not elucidates -- he does not elucidate the campaign themes while. is opposed to the terror of. there are labor issues. there are labor issues that are very important. there are two things that prop him up. even though as governor of new york, he has an admirable record. he establishes cases, that entire system. there's also labor regulations put in place for the first time. he is really a champion of labor. but then the infamous california trip, which we will

it's the dance that jack kennedy and richard nixon do in 1960. it's like we've got the black vote in the north, we've got the southern white votes. what do we do? kennedy carries both. the same thing occurs with the peace votes and the pro-war people in 1916. wilson runs the campaign. he kept us out of the war. and hughes really is doing this dance. and he ends up losing both sides really. he ends up losing the pro-war people, and he ends up losing the people want to stay neutral. he's branded as being pro-german. you see these editorial cartoons. he's lumped with william randolph hurst. and in the end the german vote goes to wilson. he doesn't elucidate the campaign themes very well. he's fighting things like the tariff which is not a popular issue for the republicans that year. there are labor issues. there are labor issues which are very important that year. there's two big things which cross him up. they do not work well for him. even though as governor of new york, he has an admirable record. he establishes worker's comp boards, cases. that

when you have the kind of tax cuts that trump is talking about, we saw them in the '60s with jack kennedyit in bill clinton's presidency, it always worked. what hillary is proposing now, infrastructure, so on, higher taxes, has never worked to spur the economy. never. stuart: if it did work, look at japan. they spent trillions, they're going nowhere. fred barnes, always a pleasure. thanks for being with us, sir. appreciate it. >> you're welcome. stuart: now this, a city in michigan is being sued because they rejected the building of a mosque. this is days after a similar incident in new jersey. in new jersey town officials being accused of bigotry. come on in, one of our favorite attorneys. all right, emily, the, muslims are suing saying, you're keeping us out because of bigotry. do they have a case? >> they do, but honestly this case has to be investigated for us to know further. on its face it is impossible to make that decision and here's why. the leaders of the american-islamic community center, filed a federal suit, you rejected the suit based on religious racism. this is bigotry. ci

these are very tough issues and i don't think donald trump has yet met that jack kemp or bobby kennedyi have an entire segment dedicated to criticism of mr. trump not going into black churches and historically black colleges and barber shops. that's missing. he has 1% approval rating among african-americans in this country. quick response then i want to move on. >> the response is in his statements you have seen publicly including after the dallas shooting, donald trump has been very specific about what he sees as a resolution to a lot of these issues. the police versus inner cities trouble we are seeing. to resolve the horrible poverty. i think folks all over this country, no matter what party you are of would agree if you resolve the crippling poverty of the inner cities a lot of this tension between police and urban communities will ease. >> let me move on. i promise we'll look back to that. let me ask about roger ailes. because the reporting we have, the ousted fox news chief embroiled in allegations of sexual harassment, just the beginning. the report we have is that roger ailes h
