my job would be to shake hands with jack kennedy. nds with teddy, bobby. >> bob kennedy. >> we worked hard. >> i come here today as a candidate in the wisconsin prima primary. >> kennedy is smart. he knows that if he can prove himself a vote winner here in the primaries, the democratic party will have to take him seriously as a candidate for president. >> this was a new way of campaigning. this was a new way of becoming the nominee. >> first of all, he's going to have to beat hubert humphrey. >> hubert humphrey, democrat senator from minnesota, is confident he'll win wisconsin hearts. >> let me tell you, i've been working for the dairy farmer ever since i set foot in the senate of the united states. >> so we knew we had a tough job to win. it was a monumental challenge. >> kennedy does have one advantage -- being a kennedy. his father joseph, rich, powerful and the former ambassador to great britain has always wanted a son for president. >> politics was definitely a family affair. you had a large family who was out there saying we are

jack kennedy's lifetime saw some of the most extraordinarily rapid changes in american life. his generation was a new generations of americans unable to witness or permit the undoing of human rights. today's guests are president kennedy's nephew, stephen kennedy smith, and historian douglas brinkley, brought together some of president kennedy's speeches and some that still resonate today. throughout the centennial year, organizations and individuals across the country will observe this milestone anniversary and reflect on kennedy's legacy. the john f. kennedy presidential library in boston has taken leave of a major evidence vision -- major exhibition that will open on june 6. there is installed a special display of stairs about president kennedy's creation of the peace corps. hanging outside my office is a letter i wrote to jfk asking for information about the proposed peace corps. i never got a response. to find out more about these jfk centennial activities, check the jfk centennial website, jfk centennial.org. today we are privileged to hear from president kennedy's own ne

in the end of 1961 jack kennedy decides, and their implications because of the bay of pigs debacle and his decision to plot of loss that he will hold the line and vietnam, he escalates. there was a lot of argument to this day. i myself have no clear judgment as to whether the strategic hamlet program was accessible that successful. it was not a total failure. whether it was as successful as some people say, i do not know. i was not there. the government had more strength in rural areas, but it lost the support of urban people, particularly of the nationalist intellectuals. there is a buddhist conflict between buddhists and catholics, and there is another coup. it was led by young nationalist officers. this time it succeeds. the leader and his brother are murdered. he was the head of the police of the french. the titular leader of the coup was a person who -- he of the other coup leaders would come out of the french army. they were not part of the nationalist tradition. and there is a new government. hanoi responds in late 1963, early with more escalation. moreland becomes the new u.s.

kennedy had such a long, liberal career that people morphed all kennedy thinking into one but jack kennedyhad a brand of leadership and american identity that was slightly different than ted kennedy. look at arthur's lesson jerk -- schlessinger's book. it is what it means to be a centrist american and you will get close to john f. kennedy's philosophical thinking on this is. called: he gave a speech "definition of a liberal." he said liberalism is a believe in the possibility of society to improve itself. that is why he was pro-government, because he thought we could accomplish things together. that versus conservatism, which tries to protect what has already been established. in that sense he was a true liberal. he did believe government could be affected. that was the primary -- could be effective. that was the primary concept he had. he suggested medicare. changes to make america a more diverse country. he was not dogmatically, programmatically liberal. >> when i was five or six i was privileged with a family to watch the fireworks from white house lawn on the fourth of july. my father

has been assassinated -- no better memorial for jack kennedy. he doesn't say squat about south east asia at that particular point. i think that the one of the fascinateding things here in minnesota in the last several years has been the hmong exhibit which was at the minnesota historical society and if you went to that exhibit, i did it several times one of the things that you see is that laos figures very prominently. i would like your reflection on that steve in terms the civil rights movement. what was happening domestically and our lack of attention. >> there is one story that i forgot to tell you. i want to tell this about lyndon johnson. so it is personal. my wife is vietnamese so i don't know if you john roach. john was a deputy dean of the fletcher school -- long time congressman fraser. when i was back at the law school after the war, i used to see him back in summerville and he told me a story about johnson and fulbright. it was fulbright and the hearings that gave momentum to the counter narrative. and this is the last meeting that fu

he is the host of "hard ball" and the author of "jack kennedy, elusive hero" and "kennedy and nixon,ivalry that shaped post war america." chris, as they say in the business let's play hard ball. i appreciate you joining. talk about the bond here between the obamas and the kennedy family. >> you know, it's interesting. the kennedys have never been able to sprinkle their magic dust on anyone else. all the people who worked for them over the years. pierre salinger, tried to get elected to the senate in california. he was defeated. kenny o'donnell, ran for governor of massachusetts. all defeated in the first try. it's not been something they've been able to share, their magic, if you will. even their in-laws were not successful, like sergeant schrieber. they didn't particularly help him either. this was the first time, when they -- they basically gave the magic touch to obama back in the spring of '08 when caroline kenne kennedy wrote the op-ed piece in the "new york times" endorsing him saying her children were excited about him and that was the reason she had come forward. she and her

jack kennedy and others during the missile crisis, you talk with dough brain in.ignals whether he is removing missiles. don't you want a tape recording and record of that you can look over and say what exactly did they commit to and what didn't they commit to. >> yeah, but not between the fbi director and president. patrick, appreciate you being here. >> delighted. >> see what you're tweeting @smerconish and via facebook. smerconish, trump is nixon updated for 21st century. target still dnc, but burglary now contracted to russia instead of wire taps. hacks. i think when it is an enemy state trying to meddle in our election, it is different, more serious, more outrageous than republicans and democrats doing battle and one of them going way over the line. i am not excusing watergate. i am saying as i said last week, used to be that partisanship ended at our borders and we need to get back to that point in time. >>> president trump mentioned the investigation into meddling explaining why he fired director comey. rosenstein who wrote the letter says there's no need fo

and back to jack kennedy to find the parallels. >> it is very clear that president trump has enacted more execute you have orders and legislation than any president in 50 year and they are some of them literally historic. >> he has takeeb be on the incombersome of our national community. >> president bush did one and president obama did 0. there is a diversity. one is protecting jobs and the other getting out the federal government out of the education. and people notice. he likes to say he inherited a mess a bit. >> lou: he did, no doubt about that? >> and look at the what is going on in the the border and factory and safety and security. and we know the monpy that is invested already. but even our local communities. law enforcement, they know he supports them in way way that people feel like he is invested in community safety as well. and looking at 16 bilateral meetings. we have world leaders who are different places around the globe coming here open to the new president and commander in chief. >> lou: you are right. we could keep the list going. he began his presidency on novembe

always had this chip on his shoulder that an inferiority complex but also in anger at those like jack kennedy who had everything given to him where nixon had to scrap for everything he got. the whole experience left him very insecure. that insecurity was his great tragic flaw. he was never satisfied. even his great accomplishments, you can go and listen to him belittle the china agreement or the agreement with the soviet union and henry kissinger once said, imagine how great this man would be if anyone had ever loved him. elliott richardson, another cabinet member said no, if anyone would've loved him it wouldn'he would have never been the success he is because it's the drive and insecurity that made him such a great politician. >> i think for many politicians their strengths are their weaknesses and their weaknesses are the strengths. people would say if only he didn't have these flaws but it's that same drive that led him to the successes as well. >> that's certainly the case with lyndon johnson as well who suffered the resentment of the east coast elites and thought of him.

the reason the anti-nepotism laws were passed after bobby and jack kennedy worked so closely togetherot give the right advice to a president. now we're in a situation where we're asking if the investigation tightens around kushner will kushner and trump do the right thing for the country or close ranks to defend themselves. >> that's part of the complication. when there was scrutiny on paul manafort, the campaign manager at the time, or carter page, these are all advisers that trump could distance himself from and throw under the business bus if necessary. he is just a guy that worked on my campaign. he cannot do that with jared kushner, his son-in-law. what happens? >> what happens is i think it is a useful moment to step back and talk about why the provisions exist. you have been on the issue very early on, alisyn. you and chris, both, around conflict of interest laws in the federal government and extent to which the president is not bound by the guidelines, but which everyone else around him is. i don't think this is an ideological part son itisan iss. it is what do we want from th

the media heralded the arrival of jack kennedy who won by nothing practically. 100,000 votes. he came in to the point where people said i voted for him. everybody said they voted -- they didn't vote. this president has gale-force winds against him. he comes in with the media killing him every day. clearly it's not a popular thing to say you voted for trump. in this country. >> but they're all about him. >> and he's the president. >> i know. but i've never seen so many stories about a guy. we do them every hour. he's always in the news that hour. he's in the news. >>> here's good news. i'm just going to pause the conversation. that's it. when we come back, a rare sight on television these days. a senator who caucuses with the democrats and a republican senator appearing together, at the same time. no walls between them. no two boxes in satellite studios. sitting next to each other in our studio. if democrats and republicans can ever work together, it is these two senators who may show us the way. they're next. ♪ ♪ ♪ i'm dr. kelsey mcneely and some day you might be calling me an

>> there are presidents who have taped conversations in the oval office going backing to jack kennedyely told me he was recording me. i didn't believe he was and then when i was working on my book about him and then we ended up in litigation and during the deposition my lawyer asked him did you record your conversations with mr. o'brien and he said i don't have any recording equipment, i don't know how to record. he said because he always got everything i said so wrong that yrb thought i needed to tape him to make sure he got it right but i was just trying to make him nervous. >> we did find a lawsuit in the '80s where it seemed he had recorded -- something came up where somebody who was suing him said something and according to this person actually came and presented in the lawsuit a transcript to counter what that person had said trump said. it's not -- we don't know how common it was. his lawyer did say -- michael cohen said he didn't see trump record. so these were different times in his career. and -- >> i think one of the key things is whether he does or he doesn't he puts it ou

the media heralded the arrival of jack kennedy who won by nothing practically. 100,000 votes. he came in to the point where people said i voted for him. everybody said they voted -- they didn't vote. this president has gale-force winds against him. he comes in with the media killing him every day. clearly it's not a popular thing to say you voted for trump. in fact, every time i look at a poll i go wait a minute, more people voted for him than admit they voted for him. that's what's going on. before the election that was true. i think it is about attitude. i think last night by not going to the press dinner and going to harrisburg he expressed his defiance of us and it goes over very well. it is not about where you stand on china -- again, too intellectual -- it is about attitude. as we say in philly, atty-tude. he's got, i like her but i'm not hiring her because she's got "atty-tude." he's still screwing us, still say saying, "to hell with you guys," and still saying stuff that isn't true. this term, fair and balanced? nobody who watched fox thought it was fair and balanced.

it's been done with other administrations going back to jack kennedy for sure. why you would do it? looks, they had a view they could have better relations with russia. a lot of us on congress see putin as a threat and don't think that would likely be fruitful but that was a position they had, and i think they were trying to establish relationships across the globe, and we don't know what other conversations were had with other countries during this period, i'm sure they were reaching out to dozens of countries. there's nothing illicit about doing that. what you have to show is that there was some type of bad purpose to those communications, and, of course, there's zero evidence that there was a bad purpose at this time. trish: okay, one of the complaints has been why would jared kushr try to set up the backchannel via perhaps the russian embassy itself? in other words, one of the things that came out it was suggested and not clear whether this is jared kushner, nothing is clear, i should preface this by saying nothing is clear, but per reports the russians were suggesting the commu

jack kennedy.e last really great orators. >> his buyographer said he was the greatest orator of the 20th century outside of winston churchill. so there's about 15 or 20 of the greatest speeches of the 20th century in this book. and we asked prominent world figures, everyone from the dalai lama, six of our nation's greatest historians, john mccain, two secretaries of state, chris matthews, and others to comment on those speeches. and we combined it with about 500 photographs. we went through 36,000 images of the '60s. >> i think the speech is ask not what your country can do for you, what you can do for your country, i trace back to choate and his head master. but that was his. that wasn't ted sorensen. kennedy came up with that one. trump has no orator cal skical . obama did. clinton had somebody, not bad. does it still matter? >> right now it's tweets and quick sound bites but i think oratory will come back into fashion. i teach at rice university where jfk came and talked to a student group about

bobby kennedy did not travel with jack kennedy. everybody keeps bringing them up. he had been head of the rackets council for three years before this. that wasn't so much blood. it was achievement. this guy is being brought along because he's the one person, ari, the president trusts not to rat him out. what -- >> i think you raise all the core questions, chris, and i think that is why many people said that what is lawful is not always prudent. and it may be lawful that they found -- at least the justice department said they found a loophole because, remember, if jared kushner was an apena nietoee -- appointee to the cabinet, it would be a loophole. but was it a good idea and does it really protect the interest of the white house and the united states at large to have someone so close to the president now under scrutiny according to nbc news in the fbi inquiry who effectively probably cannot be fired? i mean think back now to the january post-election press conference where donald trump said some of his family members would handle the business, and that would be se

he needs people -- things are said -- jack kennedy, lyndon johnson had one. david: nixon changed the rules because people felt it was tainted, the idea of taping in the oval office tainted by what happened with nixon. >> they were a voice activated. if i walk into the oval office and talk to the president, being taped, kennedy would throw a switch and johnson would throw a switch but presidents have to have a record of what they say to foreign leaders. no one would object to that. my guess is no taping was done. donald trump asked the fbi director am i under investigation? i was not outraged by that. spent we 10 months with suspicion created, pushed in the press, donald trump, conspired to get into podesta's emails, that damaged the president and the president has a right to clear that up. david: the question of loyalty is an interesting question, whether it is proper or improper, it depends how you define loyalty and think back there was another president not long ago who talked about the definition of certain things. is that a problem for president trump? >

inaudible] >> -- some munchkin at the embassy, if you were kgb and you wanted an insight into jack kennedy'sg in the oval office himself, talking to his brother was a gift from god. if you want a back channel, the back channel ought to be a munchkin in the u.s. embassy in moscow talking to nikita khrushchev's brother or son, something like that. neil: well, in that case it was a back channel to avoid a war, but you're quite right. go ahead. >> actually, there was a secretary of state who could have done that too. but my point is the russians were gathering incredibly sensitive intelligence watching robert kennedy's face. i wish we were getting the same in moscow. so i think mike flynn, if he was in the room when kislyak suggested that, should have said, no, right there. now, on this business was jared kushner or anybody in the transition wrong to be talking to the russians? absolutely not. or the british or the french or the chinese or the x or the y or the z. that's what transitions do. they're trying to get ready to take office and be up to speed. every embassy in washington during that tr
