he is the executive director of the jfk library foundation. i relies this is a what if question as well. but if you had a chance to ask jfk one question about his years in the white house what would it be? would be a five-part question, it wouldn't be just one. in terms of thinking about the impact. would he have known that today there would be people in the peace corps serving all over the country. toce corps would have led nonprofits and other things. this idea that service is needed today more than others and what would be his advice. >> joining us from charlotte, north carolina. good morning. like to mention there's i remember where i was when president kennedy was killed. i was with my mother in nigeria. .he was crying president.ry popular 14ust've been about 13 or when he was assassinated. my mother was in tears >> november 22, 1963. >> thank you for the call and your memory. there are people all over the world that were affected on that day. i was in elementary school and was making flags -- i was literally drawing an american flag when

but the former -- you mentioned jfk.icized when he apoined his brother as attorney general. >> so i think there is a legitimate concern about apointing relatives to public office. i think fortunately for the country robert kennedy was one of the best attorney generals we had and he had experience working in the senate, he'd run a presidential campaign. so he was not someone who had a significant level of experience before he was put in the job. i think tats arer the important thing. their capability and qualifications. >> that's the criticism is that they have no political experience at all. >> tlahat's the main one. i've never been that hard on donald trump because of ivanka. if she's going to help stop him from doing tweets that disrupt the country, more power to her. but i don't know -- the problem is he may get more and more insul insular. with bobby kennedy, it was hard to tell president kennedy i don't want to tell you this in fronts of your brother because they become the final arbitrator. there's always that fear

one of the things that jfk conceived of were medicaid and medicare, right?of the civil rights act, medicaid and medica medicare, the nation-- he had t broad vision for america as a grae great civilization. so i think president obama's choice to take on the difficult political issue of providing health care to our most vulnerable citizens was a courageous decision and follows really in the legacy of john f. kennedy and edward kennedy, who believe that we shouldn't discriminate against people who can't afford to pay for medical care. >> thanks so much. doug brinkley, as always, you are a machine. >> thank you. >> his productive output is unbelievable. thank you. the book is called jafng, a vision for america. thank you, doug brinkley and stephen kennedy smiblth. join me sunday night at 8:00 eastern here for live coverage as president obama is awarded the profile in courage award at the john f. kennedy library. when we return, let me finish tonight with jimmy kimmel. you're watching "hardball." stay with me, mr. parker. when a critical patient is far from the h

feeling. ♪ >> jfk's team fight back.as kennedy aide paul corbin comes out swinging. >> paul corbin was a political hack. he was also a dirty trickster. he would stop at nothing. corbin arranged to have a lot of anti-catholic literature shipped into wisconsin. so right away, a lot of voters are offended. and they think that the awful bigoted stuff was coming from hubert humphrey. >> corbin's dirty trick works. thousands of incensed catholics get up and vote for kennedy. >> we won. it was tough but we won. >> after victory in wisconsin and a landslide in west virginia, kennedy heads straight for the nomination. but the democratic bosses are out to get him. >> in my own mind -- >> the first knife in kennedy's back is plunged by former president harry truman. >> senator kennedy, are you certain that you're quite ready for the role of president in january 1961? >> do not think it was a forgone conclusion that kennedy would be the nominee after west virginia. he was the dark horse candidate. he was the outsider. he was not was

jfk respected nixon for beating jerry who was a new deal. the nixon's were invited to jack and jacky's weddings. they were close friends and in 1958 one of nixons former staffer went to run for secretary shulkin of state or another office and nixon said i can't go into the massachusetts because jack is running for re-election and people will ask you if i support his rival, the republican. and i will have to answer candiddly on behalf of the republican. with when the kennedy's turned their charm on them and he believes they stole the election in illinois and texas, it sears not just as a bad loss but as a betrayal. this was somebody -- love is maybe too strong a word but maybe it isn't. he really admired and had great afection for jfk. nixon was determine to never be outtricked again. there is a great scene from the '68 campaign where a secret service member is walking down the plane and there is nixon in his seat in the aircraft going got to be tougher, got to be tougher. and it was that that came out in the tapes and you see watergate and t

postal service will dedicate a new jfk postage stamp in massachusetts and the jfk presidential library will have a birthday celebration complete with the flyover from the u.s. navy. there will be a ceremony at the kennedy grave site in arlington, virginia. >>> on this date 64 years ago the first humans climbed the top of mount everest, they topped the highest point on earth in the year 1953. since the historic climbed almost 4500 explores have reached the top of the mountain. there are big risk, 292 people have died trying to conquer mount everest including 10 this year. >>> expect to see extra security on the bart train's after an assault on the train operator that was allegedly punched in the face.>>> there is a warning for everyone that could be spending time outside, tips from cal fire's to keep the fires under control even after this wet winter. >>> a good fall bank -- fog bank again, a slight warm up inland and cooler today. i did everything i could to make her party perfect. almost everything. you know, 1 i n 10 houses could get hit by an expensive septic disaster. but for only

i know you just mentioned kocjan o'brien and he wrote jfk.of the speech jfk gave, take a look. >> matter of experience, i had announced earlier this year that if successful, i would not consider campaign contributions as a substitute for experience in appointing ambassadors. ever since i made that statement, i haven't received one single cent from my father. >> is this a sign that a lot of people remember about him, humorous side? >> yeah, so, i mean, they asked him when he was elected president if there was anything that surprised him when he got into office and he said the only thing that surprised him was the things were just as bad as he said they were. so he had a really good sense of humor and conan said that he was the funniest president except abraham lincoln, who was also pretty funny. >> we know also the new budget that was signed in, you know, national endowment for the arts is surviving and potentially thriving. that was something also that was fostered by jfk in celebrating what we do in this country when it comes to our artists

another man like jfk, more secure in his shell, may have been able to endure this but not nixon. it not at him. he was always insecure. that insecurity, no matter what his accomplishment, it was never enough because he felt bad about himself as a person and felt it would never last, he would never be happy and so the press was this constant your tent to him. there's lots of advice from well-meaning reporters thing stop, go to the press, have a drink with these guys, make connections. this is self-destructive behavior, but it's true. when the peace negotiations hit a bump he hi ordered a massive bombing called the christmas bombing. on the tapes there is amazing transcript where kissinger comes in and talking about military and strategic diplomatic maneuvers and all the sudden nixon starts screaming at henry kissinger the press is the enemy, the press is the enemy, the professors are the enemy. write that on your blackboard 100 times. it would erupt like that over and over. >> but he didn't tweeted. [laughter] >> kissinger ignored it and he didn't say the press was the enemy of th

the pilot program at jfk is a rare exception. i hope we can learn today whether there are any recommendations to improve and expand this program. as my colleagues have heard me say many times, find out what works, do more of that. private carriers like ups are also joining us here todayiers v providing us with advanced electronic data on packages tested for our country. unlike the postal service, private carriers have integrated systems in locations around the world and can refuse to accept a package at origin that does notst contain any shipping manifest data. learning how this process can hopefully help us cover the gaps splitted by smugglers. elsa look forward to identifying ways in congress to ensure federal agencies in our state and local partners have the resources they needfroo to combat the open engine opioid crisis on the ground. specifically i'm eager to hear from our witnesses on the second panel, each of whom serve on the front line of the nations opioid epidemic in various capacities from law enforcement to doctors a

he was a jfk figure.e had a man the tourism and maybe unearned charisma, but since hillary clinton have the opposite of that, we find at that the great mandate to some and charisma that obama brings in politics is a powerful intoxicant. another tweet from another viewer. jay leno had jokes about everyone and now he is gone. called how late-night comedy fueled the rise of trump. our guest is caitlin flanagan. from indiana, good morning. caller: good morning. i think the media and comedy east and west coast in the big cities, they didn't vote for trump. of course they will make fun of him. what happens to us with jobs and families in insurance, that is how we vote. you can put whatever you want tv. it is proven that we will make our own decisions. i was in rural ohio yesterday, during the trump campaign, and ohio, a very red state. you talk to people about what matters to them, it is just what he said. it is not climate or any progressive causes. it is jobs. to someone my age, i am 55 and my kids are in col

after eisenhower we had the rise of jfk and the glamorization of the first family.y the late 1960s, we have celebrities who are very involved in nixon's campaign, and extraordinarily involved in the campaigns for the democratic candidates, particularly during the primaries, gene mccarthy, bobby kennedy being among them. then in the 1980s we had the rise of ronald reagan. and reagan was an interesting case because reagan got his start in politics and in television back in the 1950s. the same advertising agency, dbdo, that had controlled many of ike's political appearances, that got ronald reagan to move from being a film actor to being a television host, and then a spokesman for conservative causes. so we can actually trace reagan back to the sort of same promotional team that had played such an important role in eisenhower. the age of mass media, an outage of television -- first radio and then television and now cable television and social media -- celebrity has become for good or for bad a pretty important ingredient in how people evaluate presidential candidates.
