is a photograph in the "washington post," 43rd and final birthday celebration put together by jackie kennedy onboard the presidential yacht surrounded by family and friends bradley, his brother edward kennedy, robert was he like to be around from those who remember him? guest: so first, i did not know personally, but from all the people i talked to, he was wit, took his t job, but not himself seriously. water, you e mentioned sequoyah, he found energy in the water. reason the kennedy library is right on the water is because kennedy felt this was fitting tribute to her husband. of time with his kids and loved being with them family. and traveled extensively as younger, when he was younger internationally, obviously running for president he started over the went all place. he took -- did not take himself seriously, took issues seriously and had a great time. also, loved being with family, in hyannis port. host: how serious were health issues during the white house year? guest: he had health issues throughout his life. ne thing in the museum, rose kennedy, his mom, kept notecards andll the kids

as i was saying earlier at lunch, my aunt had volunteered in a kennedy campaign and had -- in dallas. she was at leftfield when jackie and john kennedy arrived. my uncle was watching the motorcade from the praetorian building on main street. my grandfather was at the plaza. so they were i mean, there kennedy -ness was not - they were deep kennedy people. as a set at lunch today, my parents stayed up all night in washington to walk by the president's body lying at the capitol building. so the intimacy in which our family along with millions of other people were kind of woven into the story again, makes the film so much more powerful. and i think that is where the - i would not describe it as trauma for myself but where there are reverberations. you know my father who, the disappointment of the assassination, the pain and sadness, the loss, the trail. if stayed with him for his whole life. and for all of them. for my grandfather and my father to then be responsible for this object. to be the one who had to decide who uses it, how, under what circumstances, for how much money and at what cost morally and ethically. what

melania trump is the first catholic first lady since jackie kennedy and her style is being compared tolet's talk all about melania's big week and her choices. i have kate bennett and kate anderson brower, the author of "first women." and to the kates on this friday, let's begin with melania's faith. i don't even think a lot of people realize she was catholic before this trip. why is she just now revealing this? >> yeah, i don't think anyone realized it and it's probably something really private to her. she described the meeting with a the pope as an experience she'll never forget. she wrote a letter to the pope asking if she could visit a children's hospital when she went to visit him and it's very telling and keeping with everything we know. she's very private, she doesn't want people to necessarily know about her faith and we still don't know if she's a practicing catholic. but i think for a catholic first lady to meet with the pope, it's a very special moment and makes it very different from other first ladies. >> from her faith to fashion, kate bennett, i mean, $51,000 for a jacket

steve: you mentioned jackie kennedy a moment ago.the first lady taking a look at local custom kind of started with her with when she went to india in 1960's. >> 1962 jackie kennedy went by herself on a goodwill mission to india and pakistan. she was so purposeful in what she wore. she would wear the traditional hat in india. she would wear colors that would reflect the bright sun. colors colors of the saaris. she rode a camel and elephant and a lot of things to express goodwill in a way her husband couldn't because of a nuclear build up and the cold war he could not go to pakistan and india back then but she could. played this cultural role. you are seeing that unfold right now as we speak. abby: absolutely. brian: jane hampton cook get her book "burning of the white house" great historian. abby: and a movie. i'm excited for the movie. brian: the bush white house who is also great friends with israel. thank you, jane. steve: we are continuing our live coverage, the president's trip to israel. is he about to speak in 10 minutes. we wi

jackie kennedy, of course, was catholic and jackie's meeting with the pope in 1962 was also really specialthink we saw some of that here. she brought a lightness to the meeting, a very heavy ceremonial meeting, and i thought it was a nice, light moment between them. >> and then kate a.b. -- kate, you mentioned jackie o., kate. everyone thinks about the style of a first lady, references with michele obama known for wearing designers who weren't necessarily on the big stage, but then as soon as she wore them they became hot designers. and this first lady, who is using very established designers, dolce & gabbana, with that jacket on the far left and, of course, it has a big price point there, but the michael kors, what do you read into her style choices and it's not a superficial conversation that we're having about style, because there is a message that first ladies are often sending by way of their dress? >> right. i mean, i -- we call it fashion diplomacy and something michele obama used very well, wearing the designers, from a host country or incorporating american designers when she trav

you look at pictures of jackie kennedy when she met pope john 23rd, wearing a long black dress with aday it is not that kind of requirement, and certainly pope francis is not -- >> it was a choice. >> a choice by them. for example, when we're on the papal plane, we wear darker colors, nothing flashy, and don't wear mantias or head covering. it is a choice. it is out of respect more than anything. >> you have been to the vatican, it is a hum bling experience to see the pope and to be able to tour it the way president trump will tour it. >> if this is the first time he has been to the vatican, think of all that he experienced. he is going behind the scenes, up in papal apartments, going through the clementine hallway, spectacular fres kas. this is where the pope has his private audience when there's a glup. then he goes into the room of small thrones, into the papal library and then meets the pope. i think that regardless of what your religious belief is, when you meet someone who is the leader of a faith and the pope does have an aura about him, it can be overwhelming to some degree. >

but on a more substantive note came out as the first catholic first lady since jackie kennedy. and much to her benefit. so, melania trump is my winner. loser of the week isis. if you want to undermine your cause and if you want to unite people against your cause, kill children. that's what they did. i think this was a bad week for them. and president trump actually put a point on it by calling them loads losers. i think for that reason they were the loser of the week. >> bret: winner and loser. >> windsor mick mulvaney. released a budget most conservative since ronald reagan. recognizes we live in a time tradeo military spending closer to what it meads to be and pulls back on nondiscretionary. recognizes we need to do entitlement rye forms not as much as we should. recognizes at the end of the day if we don't have 3% growth we can't solve any of these problems. mick mulvaney. and his team did incredible job of its budget. the loser is planned parenthood. hasn't gotten much attention in the mainstream media. video coming out planned parenthood talking about pulling body parts of

i don't know what light which they are speaking, but i was reminded how powerful jackie kennedy was whenhe spoke french when she and jack went over there. trying to keep the positivity. i really pray for the press to be the way i thought the press was supposed to be, and that is more objective. my expectation for this trip is really that we will finally be later little games and recognize that there is nothing but air in all of this ridiculous russia stuff. it is a red herring. like i said, keep an eye on melania. sometimes the subtleties are more important than the obvious. thank you. host: thanks for calling, elizabeth. a couple other callers mentioning the media. this story from a harvard professor. trump's press coverage sets a new standard for negativity. the piece says that president trump has insisted his press coverage has been historically negative. a newly released study backs him up. a major study released last found that the coverage of mr. trump during his first 100 days was unsparing. you can read more about that in the "washington times" as we an on goingon look well. cind

she's being compared to jackie kennedy but there has been some criticism about this designer jacket thatore. it's worth $51,000. we know that's about the median income of people here in the u.s. is there such a thing as fashion diplomacy? >> there is. it's interesting. we saw that our recent past first lady too with mrs. obama certainly was scrutinized for her clothes and complimented for her clothes and the way she represented herself in a gracious way both at home and abroad. mrs. trump carefully chose what she was going to wear, obviously. we had heard that. always appropriate and always gracious. >> was the jacket a misstep do you think? >> i think that's one of those things too and when i saw it and heard it, i remembered sort of that first trip that mrs. obama had made in 2009 to spain which was a private trip and the expensive clothes and all those -- in all those things are just items that you live and learn and you're sensitive to and probably don't get repeated again. >> i got to ask you about that little hand swat that went viral. are people trying too hard to read into this o

. >> remember years and years ago when jackie kennedy spoke french when she was on french soil. use her international background in that perspective. she should just be herself in that sense. i'm hoping as the trip moves on that she's able to do that. i think there is a global interest in her. she's an immigrant. she did come from slovenia, a communist country. she's worked her way through america, you know, ultimately ended up married and first lady. so i think there's a way she can certainly use her diverse background to relate to people around the world. and she should. >> and she speaks five languages, including italian. maybe she'll be able to use that when they head to rome. kate bennett, thank you very much. >>> some frightening moments for tourists in british columbia. a young girl plucked from the pier, dragged underwater. >> oh! >> oh, my god. >> more on the story here coming up. daddy's here. hi hey buddy hey dad i think we can do this. adam baily. adam baily. we believe in food that's anaturally beautiful,, fresh and nutritious. so there are no artificial colors, no

but they're not sure kennedy will win. >> jack and a heavily pregnant jackie cast their votes and flyoth sides knew that this was going to be an extremely close election. and so everybody was nervous. >> none more so than richard nixon, who casts his vote with his wife, pat, in california and then makes a break for the border. >> nixon was gloomy as usual. thought he was going to lose. went off with a pal to mexico to drink margaritas and to desert the press. >> essentially throughout the day they kept getting reports, good and bad. they didn't know what they meant. no one ever does. in the evening, the first returns were very pro-kennedy. >> we want kennedy. >> kennedy wins connecticut and the network broadcasters are saying that it might be a landslide. but by midnight the picture is changing. and nixon is starting to pick up midwestern and western states and it's clearly going to go down to the wire. >> the great shock of the night for the kennedy forces and the first time when they thought they had lost was when kennedy failed to carry ohio. >> that was a huge setback for the camp

and jackie ibanez, now back to kennedy for all of your headlines.night. >> sean: welcome back to "hannity," we continue with newt gingrich, i want to put back on the screen all of these leaks, deep state leaks against the president, because there has been so many. to me this is such a grave danger, because in many ways, what they are doing, not only as unjust and unconstitutional, general flynn violating the espionage act, but it seems to me if they get into carter and solomon in the next segment, if they can serve fail, unmask, release from intelligence against americans which is illegal, that seems to be foundational he something that would be a dictatorship. that would be something in a policed state. if the government is surveilling, unmasking intelligence, which has happened. and we know it has happened. >> let me draw the distinction, they are two points here. the first, what you are starting make right now is that having obama deliberately decide to loosen the rules, and -- i don't know if trump has issued re-tightening the rules again, which

kennedy: such a good idea. the staffers may be staying that the press briefings may be going through that may bring in ed henry "fox news" correspondent and author of the fantastic look on jackieled 42 fates one of the greatest bruins to ever live. >> still is. kennedy: thank you i appreciate it. >> the presence of the ratings for the briefings are huge. kennedy: they are. the only time in modern memory i remember people gathering around the screen for white house press briefing. you have been through many demonstrations do you really think he's going to sacrifice the daily briefing? >> no, i don't in the end. makes him feel good and it makes a space feel good because let me say this. i feel the president is right on one part of this which is the committee has not given him a fair shake. it is an object that fact. pick up "the news york times" any given day sometimes there three or four stories of him saying this guy is clueless. they are not giving him a fair shake but for republicans to cower and say we are going to talk to you anymore and we are going into the corner, you have to engage. you have to push back but you also have to -- i understand it's hard in this environmen

jackie. >> very said hello to everyone. shook hands. >> they wanted to celebrate kennedy's 100th birthday in booth number one. >> americans stilld his family's legacy. it is special to share the memory. >> he lived on two homes in georgetown. one a block away from martin's tavern and the other two blocks away from martin tavern. they lived in georgetown until they moved in january 1961 after president kennedy's inauguration. live at the kennedy center, jeff goldberg, abc7 news. nancy: thank you. today marks 64 years since the first climbers reached the summit of mount everest. they made the 25,000 foot trek in 1953. the past weekend, george cashew of springfield, virginia, part of the group that reached the summit in what is a busy climbing season. larry: right now hundreds of retired veterans are on the bikes pedaling to virginia beach. >> a lot better. >> they will pedal 350 miles to virginia beach in six days including retired army veteran gretchen evans who lost her hearing after a traumatic brain injury in combat. >> it's unsafe for me to ride by myself. people don't know i'm deaf. it's invisible injury but here it doesn't

kennedy was probably, i would say, jfk's greatest asset. she was cultured, she had taste, she had humor, wit. jackie never really wanted to exploit the children, so jfk would always wait until she was out of the white house and then he had the kids running around up and down the halls, and of course he did invite the photographer, and there are the famous pictures of john-john crawling through the desk. but there is this wonderful picture of jfk walking john-john to bed at night as he would often do. in the exhibit, you have the iconic images that we have seen before. but they are also book ended by the images you have not seen before, those that set the stage to understand the tension jfk was under, the humor, the social events. his life was not as glamorous as you would think. laura: larry schiller, curator of that jfk exhibit. remember, you can find more of all the day's news on our website. to see what we are working on it any time, check out our facebook page. i am laura trevelyan. thanks for watching "world news america." >> make sense of international news at bbc.com/news. >> funding of this
