host: the relationship between jfk and lbj. they called each other names, or at least, their people did. guest: well, i think you've talked about jfk and lbj. let me talk about that and then we can go broader because it is complex. jfk and lbj i think begrudgingly at times admired each other. i think lbj would concede that while jack kennedy was a back-venture in the senate when he was the all-powerful majority leader, he had risen to new heights in the presidency. he had realized in many ways has great potential. and when he died, lbj said that jfk was a great public hero. i think jfk woul concede that lyndon johnson the somebody who knew power very well because jack kennedy in the senate needed to get something done, he had to go through lyndon johnson as the majority leader in order to do so. when he was selecting somebody to round out his ticket in 1960, who better than lyndon johnson? not only to give the ticket original balance which he desperately needed to engender the trust and support of wary democrats in many respect

the yelp ceo is backing this measure to keep jfk car free. there is another wealthy individual, a socialite in san francisco, she is backing the opposing measure which is measure i, or proposition i, and she is trying to reopen jfk drive to cars. kristen: can i just ask you, how does the spending this midterm election compared to years past? it seems like it's up big time. anna: from a super pac front, it's been a lot lower than previous years so it is kind of interesting because you would expect that they would be a lot of super pac spent a lot of -- but a lot of political insiders are saying it's not too much compared to past years. you know, really the only place we are seeing attack ads is district four and also a little bit in district six and a little bit in the district attorney's race as well. and then also just in terms of money being contributed, it's not -- for the politician races -- it's not a ton compared to past years. kristen: interesting p or that is why we need the data that you got. i'm just going by mailers and the things

john: jfk came into the office as something of a centrist. his father had worked on fdr's new deal so they had roof -- they had roots in the left but the movements of the 1960's, the feminist movement, the antiwar movement, they adopted the positions and became martyrs to the position, becoming symbols of the american left. ted had more than 40 years in the senate and you can see the things he fought for and against and it becomes liberalism from fdr's death up until the most recent time of hyper polarization. susan: does his brand of liberalism exist today? john: no. i would say the bernie sand folks are probably more enthusiastic and extreme than he was and the moderates in the party are a little more temperate than he was. i think, it is hard to say, but i think it is accurate to say that the senate misses the 800 pound elephant in the room and his staff and position on four committees. he was a major force of brilliance and liberal enthusiasm and i do not see it there anymore. does -- susan: does that say more about the senate as an insti

i was too young for jfk, just barely too young. i was only 17 when i went into the reagan white house. that's a joke. -- if i may come i want to go back because i'm reading a book, the title is the jazz age, but it is about warren g. harding, a much maligned u.s. president, way too far maligned. but in the 1920's, harding, his vice president, calvin coolidge and his treasury secretary andrew mellon, who was a great figure from pittsburgh and entrepreneurial banker, they put together a huge reduction in marginal tax rates. the income tax amendment was 1913. when woodrow wilson left office, it was over 70%. we went into a recession after world war i and those guys brought tax rates down to 25%. it launched a tremendous prosperity boom in the 1920's. i'm going to go one more. another of my favorite figures is ulysses s grant. he was arguably america's greatest generals -- they still teach some of his formations at west point. but grant come also as president, much maligned. my colleague at fox wrote a pretty good book about grant. but

jfk did hive live press conferences, a format particularly good for jfk.r one, he got the reporters. he understood them culturally. he had briefly, in fact, been a reporter himself. after he got out of the navy in the second world war. he didn't need the money, obviously, but he wanted to be able to say that he had had a civilian job, so his father arranged him a reporting gig. and he understood the press. he understood how to handle himself. he was very good at it. and he came across well on tv in part, and we will talk more on this when we get into debates, ironically because of the medication he was taking. if you look at pictures of jfk innearly 1950, he looks kind of sickly. by the 1960s, he looks much better, because he was taking cortisone, which sometimes has the unfortunate effect of distorting peoples features. but jfk was so thin, it actually filled him out and made him look good. and his health was not in the best of shape during his presidency, his problems were much worse than the public knew at the time. but he came across extremely well on

why in the world would they hold on to 15,000 jfk documents?t's the way intelligence agencies operate. 70% belong to the fbi. they claimed they would disclose sources. kids in their 20s back in the '60s. now they are in their 80. they would disclose safe houses and they are using the same safe houses in some countries. the dea doesn't want it to be disclosed. biden will make a decision in december. he made a decision in january and didn't release them. and trump had an opportunity to get these out in 2017 and passed as well. the intelligence agencies work well to make their argument to the people in power. we need more time. this is crazy. 59 years. it's time for these files to be released in their entirety so historians and the american people can see what was so important to keep hidden. >> tucker: you have to wonder about the motive. either the agencies were involved in kennedy's killing or want you to think they were involved. why else would they do this? >> one thing is there is a real question about oswald, he was not in dallas 3 weeks be

six days later, he says jfk files are carefully -- are being carefully released. great transparency. it is my hope to get just about everything to the public, exclamation point. the next day, he agreed not to release the records. something happened. what happened on that day? >> it did. he got heat from the cia, fbi, and the dea. there's a battle going on in our u.s. government, no matter who is president, between national archives, which is saying open this stuff up for transparency, and presidents who do not want to be at war with cia. >> but why doesn't the cia want to see it? >> they claim that they don't want to see who agents are, where sources are abroad, some are still alive. it is kind of hard to believe this many decades later this would be their stance. but they don't want to out-people. and you don't want to be -- any sitting president doesn't want a war with their own cia. and hence, biden now, by december 15th has a deadline that he is going to have to decide whether he is opening up the rest. he might do another batch. but i'm sure there is going to

the jfk jr. one is wild. i talked to somebody in our special about it. he said jfk jr.t, joe biden was killed in guantanamo. but trying to piece together a world that doesn't make sense. >> what you do is so interesting just on the political landscape because it is very funny, very, very funny, and these exchanges are at times hilarious. at the same time, reverend al, i get really sad sometimes watching these because it really does relate back to the main theme of our show today and to the misinformation that is truly spiraling out of control unchecked. >> it really does go back to the theme of what we were talking about that goes unchecked, and it really scares me as a minister that these people are parts of a cult that they really believe. i mean, this last guy that you were talking to at the trump rally really believes trump's president and really believes that biden is not there. i mean, how would you do this? i know at the end you deal with the comedy side of it, but are you ever feeling like you want to shake them into reality and say do you realize this is crazy?

i mean, i think if he didn't live in the shadow of jfk, he might have been far more generous toward. some of these agreements that were his his inheritance. but he's, you know, you have that those were all statements to kissinger. it's like, oh i don't want to be a soldier with that -- wall. i'm not supposed to say sorry, you tube. i don't want to be associated with the which he saw as a legacy of kennedy's limited test ban treaty because they weren't his you know that vanity i had to do it himself. so in the 45 seconds or so that we have have left today, aaron, and i'll turn to you since it is your book, could you summarize for what you see as the nixon legacy and establishing kind of the broader architecture of the framework for arms control in the in the cold war into the post war era? how should we think about and his legacy there? 30 seconds. okay. well, i think nixon accomplished and under during his presidency more agreements were signed than almost any other cold war president. so maybe in spite of himself, he was greatly accomplished. but that said, he didn't look at wmd hol

jfk was not around when that happened. that was under lyndon johnson and and shameless plug that it is my book. i i cover johnson's approach to withdrawal policy and as we know that that never fully went through because by the end of 1964 johnson was conducting reprisal strikes on north vietnam and then into 1965 more sustained strikes. would rolling thunder bombing and then by the middle of 1965 100,000 troops were going in that would rise to over half a million by 1968. but lbj is a fascinating character. not only with respect to vietnam, but with respect to power and bob caro's wonderful work. on lbj really is a study of power and i want to play a couple of clips from lbj that gives you a sense of how he wielded that power one of them comes from just 10 days or so after he became president. it's a conversation between johnson and jackie kennedy the late president's widow, and it's notable for a variety of reasons, but particularly for johnson, who knows that he is going to need to stay in the good graces of the kennedy

the party of jfk is no more. it's fetterman's party now.lyanne is a former whitekayle co-host of "outnumbered." do we need human beings to be senators? we can just have the machines do the work at this point. >> strategists essentially said that when fetterman won. not so hard to be a senator and you sit there and vote. it's called the empty suit strategy. that is exactly what democrats are doing, jesse. they have decided we don't know need a tom brady. we just need the other side not to maximize the rules. you know, weave need the other side not to ballot harvest. not to early vote. we need republicans to stay behind in their game. and we can put up, guys like fetterman who ran braddock, pennsylvania, into the ground for 10 years. and we can put up two-time loser stacey abrams order three time loser beto o'rourke or my personal favorite charlie crist who has been republican, independent, democrat and he was on the so-called battlefield of love in florida saying we were all haters and the haters showed up in royal fashion and said get a job
