i'm not jackie kennedy, -- just like jackie kennedy, where this was a surprise where ronald reagan was dancing with diana, and nancy was dancing with prince charles, and then with a signal light nancy out steps john travolta, the sinuous dancer from saturday night fever who lady diana wanted to meet, and they had a very sexy dance together. and it is one of those images that defines the reagan white house, this fabulous moment of food, entertaining, a combination of celebrity and royals, you know, to a certain extent, the nations mind was being blown seeing this, and the images of the kite went around the world and still come up to this day, our defining of that era. so, even though uh, raven -- megan was not a foodie person, nancy understood the value at -- of entertaining. >> we have 10 minutes left, and i will do a quick roster of the presidents. and so far between first century has been a time -- confusing time in the food of politics and the politics of food, you say. let's go through the list are quickly, i have one line from each free to comment on. george p. bush. how 9/11 chan

that can prepare you to be first lady to wake up here steps from the oval office to sit in the jackie kennedy garden and watch the morning light. just climb the monuments of our nation's capital. first ladies aren't elected. we have really no instructions to guide us. we're just sort of thrust into the national spotlight. in a way that i know none of us could have anticipated. yet each day is such a blessing to serve the american people with such an incredible platform. first lady nancy reagan served the american people with grace. she understood that the role of first lady came with inherent pitfalls and scrutiny. yet she found the humanity in it all. she knew the potential of this role. she traveled the country listening to american stories and just brought them home to her husband. she raised attention on issues that she cared about and she spoke bravely about her cancer as was mentioned and her mastectomy. next month would have been mrs. reagan's a hundred and first birthday. ending her centennial year and with this stamp, we are affirming. that she made such a difference. you know, we ca

and jackie kennedy met with a man william walton, who is a friend of jack and he was a painter. and he was going to moscow for a cultural exchange program previously planned. and they told him, we want you to take a message to the kremlin, to the people there and the messages this, some people say oswald was a communist or trying to connect him to the communist world. we don't attach any importance to that. we think that the president was killed by an age or domestic conspiracy. landel bobby kennedy is going to try and get back and become president if he becomes president. he will continue his brothers policies of de taunt towards the so be you was kind of a reassuring method. we're not going to blame you and we want to, we want to return to j f. case policies. you know, that's what jackie bob kennedy thought a week after the assassination stay thought. president kennedy had been killed by his domestic enemies and there's a lot of evidence to support that. so that's what we're still struggling to find out is you know how, what happened, how did that, how did that happen? but cle

you know, that's what jackie bob kennedy thought a week after the assassination. a thought president kennedy had been killed by his domestic enemies and there's a lot of evidence to support that. so that's what we're still struggling to find out is you know how, what happened? how did that, how did that happen? but clearly, bobby kennedy thought that and thought that for the rest of his life, yes, dramatic. what should he? dorians and the american people take from this, this new information, lee harvey oswald, was a person of interest to the cia. as you said, from 1959 throughout 1963. what does that mean in the greater scope of things? does it point a stronger finger? do you think at the cia and are we talking about official cia or elements of the cia? we're talking about senior officials in the counter intelligence staff and the directorate of operations. people who reported directly to deputy director of dick county where the counterintelligence st. james angleton and the important one of the important things is, people say, oh yes, of course they were, you kno

had died, jackie kennedy onassis and. so they finally decided they had a collection of a local newspaper on the occasion when carter as president, derek, raided the kennedy library. and so they let me say that the local newspaper. yeah, they were they were it was a good source because local newspapers did have information. in and that was a no no that announced where the bush library area went. several george h.w. bush the first time they wouldn't let me see a good bit of stuff, but a lot of stuff closed because george bush was governor and then later most of the stuff i wanted to see in the bush library did not open until obama became president. and i'm sure there were political reasons. there were political reasons for that. the last time i went to, the bush library was as i wrapping up to research the so-called october surprise, the idea that the reagan camp had cut a deal with to hold the hostages until after the election and was told in no uncertain terms. i would not find anything about in the bush library. and they

the legacy of jackie kennedy a first lady who opened the white house to a larger audience than ever before. for 60 years the white house historical association has helped us understand the rich beautiful and complicated history that has brought us here. from native americans who once inhabited the lands of the presidential park to enslaved persons who labored to build the white house to the families who called it home. as a teacher i have always believed that education is the foundation of our democracy. that principle is reflected in the executive mansion and in the tireless work to preserve it. you the association help us remember the past so that we can continue to build a nation that lives up to our own timeless ideals. the pursuit of justice and equality the honor of service. and the strength of our unity. and as we make our way through this pandemic the association has helped our administration continue to connect with the people that we represent through virtual guides and an ever-growing body of historical scholarship. all of you here tonight are helping to -- the next chapter of t

in the correspondence with the priest, ireland, jackie kennedy, that she felt bitter towards god, the assassination of her husband. how could god let this happen? she asked. but god wasn't. the texas school book depository. sorry, aiding and abetting god was and is in the heartbreak and then the insight point of sadness. and then arms that we wrap around our grief. i have felt this every time a kid is gunned down down. yeah, so this was tomorrow. i have a funeral of a 13 year old boy who was stabbed to death in a chick-fil-a in downtown l.a.. it was on the news. well, his father, a kid named marco who worked for us and had moved from homeboy in doing really well. and the trade and obviously this is his oldest son. he's just beside himself with. grief. but he's was i hope no longer he was utterly convinced that this happened because this was sort of god's way, paying him back for all the horrible he had been engaged in as a kid and as an act of gang member and, you know, the church has done a lot of damage in terms of this notion, you know kind of. and i it's so regrettable and heartbr

bobby kennedy's by jackie kennedy. her you know so thought i've been in 60 i knew the where i was ending the book the third wave ended 1973 not even a. it ended in 1973 with the triumph of the endangered species act passing the senate 92 to nothing. so when you hear about being liberal, it was american, and that same moment to the week, the endangered species was the big closing legislation of 73. we had the the arab oil embargo oh pack of fear of gasoline prices need for energy going energy independence and a counter-revolution that developed immediately to rachel carson is some ralph nader ism environmentalism that had gone too far. it went so the right said that nixon become a new dealer and i'll mention why they thought that. but you know, in and out of that counter swing to i'm about to tell you about was born the american institute heritage foundation and koch brothers industry say the brothers you know all any federalist society they all are coming to save money they don't like the federal government regulate th

do you know if jackie kennedy as a kid? i remember her doing a tour of the white house after it was refurbished. do you know if she ever referenced any of the photographs that were done at lou's? instigation my guess is i don't know with absolute certainty. so the only partial information i have and i do want to underscore partial and by the way, i'm sorry. the question is do i know if jacqueline kennedy when she did the tour of the refurbishment of the white house referenced any of lose photographs, so i am not aware of a reference to that and i do know that the white house historical association, which was founded by mrs. kennedy spends a lot of time talking about mrs. kennedy's refurbishment, and i remember when they had one of the programs on that that i sent in a i was what it was a zoom program and i had sent in a comment about what lou had done and it was sort of, you know, briefly acknowledged, but i am not sure that lou has gotten the attention of that and i'm one of my little to-do list is to try to remedy that. y

i went to a private girls catholic school in the same congregation jackie kennedy went in new york.ut i actually am not a practicing catholic because i think the catholic church and all the churches really have used their power on abuse, particularly the government church. i just read a story about in maryland how much child abuse there was in baltimore, maryland where the children in the catholic church years after they were abused because children do not recover well from sexual abuse. and i think that that, you know, i know a lot of people extremely religious and go to church every morning at 6:00 in the morning. that's fine. i don't have a problem with that. but i have faith in signs and believe the energy. and if you have faith that the energy of the universe will give you hell, you can call it god if you want, you know, on health and wealth and bring everything you need to your life because they can tell us what you need. i guess i learned it from george costanza who healed himself through having faith in the power of the universe. even though his mother is a catholic and all

. >> jackie kennedy famously branded her kennedy family cam camelot, and your work, even if it's not "camelot" that we're doing it's meant to speak to today hopefully it doesn't hit you over the head with it, but listen, i like -- i've always loved musicals, and i like in a theater when people walk in and they feel two inches taller when the lights come up and they walk back out, and that's what this camelot is meant to do >> when you say people feel two inches taller, what do you hope they leave the theater with and what message, if any, do you hope they leave with, or do you want to give them a mebssage, i it just about entertainment? there are those that are divided on what the intentions are when they do a production like this >> yeah, i hope reverend that it's aspirational, that it's romantic, and idealistic and that they feel that people ought to keep reaching for the stars no matter how many times they fail >> and a great cast we should mention too. >> it's a fantastic cast it's andrew brown, jordan donica, it's a great cast. it a's it's a diverse cast. and even if you have se

all this leads to 1960 when kennedy decides to run for president they are great friends by now. jackie has fallen in love but in 50 candidate makes a discovery. none of my foreign policy advisers really are in sync with me. there's only one guy in sync with me. as an informal cabinet. it provides a crucial foreign policy advice and how to navigate this issue of the missile gap and promoting the same but nuclear disarmament. it's a sweet spot with kennedy. becomes a president becomes the first ambassador. kennedy decides on day five he makes the command gets back to washington he wants to see gore. talks about bombing cuba. right back into a familiar repartee that started in 1948 about what is a leader to do? in the council is very strongly for a blockade kennedy comes around to it. he's back at the red house that night, spends hours and hours with kennedy both in the private residence. he is with him the night after he makes his address to the nation announcing the blockade. he's looking at the blockade with the perimeter it sees its 800 miles. he says to kennedy should be 500 miles. g

it was about jackie onassis and john-john kennedy and sophia loren and richard burton and elizabeth taylor and so on. norman rockwell. my father, as i said, was an editor at the "saturday evening post." rockwell, as you may know, he had a change of heart, a change of mind, or something. during the 1960's, he depicted very sympathetically and rather angrily, he depicted the plight of black schoolchildren at little rock for example. that was actually the late 1950's. there were a number of iconic paintings that rockwell did on the civil rights theme. but i suppose you could say the "saturday evening post" was guilty of rather the same treatment of black people, black americans, that hollywood movies were. hollywood movies tended to portray black in subservient roles, with the exception of a movie like "they call me mr. tibbs," which was deliberately on that theme and had sidney poitier actually slapping a white racist rich guy back after the white racist rich guy slapped him. but i think rockwell came to see the point that you are implying, and he did paint -- look up his, google his paintin

kennedy jr. and marianne williamson, neither have held elected office before, stuart. stuart: thank you, jackiehunter sandal and look who's joining us now, miranda devine is with us. there's a new bomb shell report that claims anthony blinken asked acting cia chief to sign a false letter about hunter so we can help president biden win in 2020. that's a block buster story. sounds like a remarkable breakthrough. is it? >> like all these guys he'll have plausible denial and he was prompted to write that first story from hunter biden's laptops that implicated joe biden in his family's influence pedaling scheme and this was of course, should have beened to answer questions as a candidate and instead this letter that was cooked up by 51 former intention officials and we now see at behest of biden campaign joe biden used that debate a couple of days later against donald trump and the laptop in our story was therefore a russian plant. now, it's really disturbing that the secretary of state anthony blinken who at that point was a senior adviser to joe biden's campaign he would have knowingly intentional

kennedy jr. up to 19% there. this afternoon president biden talked about reelection bid and some of the concerns voters are expressing. white house correspondent jackie joining us on the north lawn with the latest on this. good evening, jackie. >> good evening, bret. despite the reelection launch focusing heavily on the threat of trump, biden said today he would have run even if the former president was not. >> how old i average i can't say the number because it doesn't register with me and they'll see a race and say i have or don't have it. >> president biden took a hard look before relaunching his campaign at 80 and feels good. critics to the vis president in the announcement video as a nod to the obvious. >> modest bump in vp approval rating and 43% up points since january and biden's numbers ticked up just a point in the same period but compared to two years ago, he's down down by 10. he's un-phased. the >> the polling data is i'm between 42 and 46% favorable rating et cetera. but eve everybody running is ine same position, we're not underwater. >> 62% of democrat primary voters back him and nearly a fifth throw weight behind robert kennedy jr. a
