and it is john f. kennedy right after going mano a mano with nikita khrushchev at the summit, a superpower summit in vienna. and kennedy goes in, this glamorous, elegant figure, who cuts just such a dashing figure on the world stage. we have these high expectations. and khrushchev goes in thinking that he's very callow and can be exploited. and kennedy's performance over those two days against the very truculent, very pugnacious nikita khrushchev, leads khrushchev to believe that he is, and i'm quoting khrushchev, too intelligent and too week. and kennedy knows that khrushchev has this impression. he goes back after these endless two days of meetings with khrushchev to the american embassy in vienna and he talks to scotty weston, who's the reporter from the new york times. and it's an off-the-record conversation in which kennedy concedes that he has been savaged, those are his words, by nikita khrushchev. with kennedy. it boulders crush of to make the move in cuba and it's the resolution of that, that conflict

john f. kennedy was sworn into the office up at the capitol and by his side was jacqueline kennedy who would become our first lady and she herself would go down in history as being one of our most influential of first ladies. we have a particular reverence for here here at the white house historical association. but it was later that day on inauguration day that president and mrs. kennedy ended up at the white house and mrs. kennedy realized this was a home the people's house as she would call it. it was in badly badly in need of historic restoration. she believed that the white house should represent the very best of america artisans craftsmen. decorative arts fine arts furnishings. and so she took that on as her project over the course of the next three years. cut short tragically by the assassination of president kennedy, but what she put in place then is still the legacy of her influence of historic preservation at the white house acquisitions for the collection and actually education. it's a key

>> a few days before a tragic death comes to president john f. kennedy, he and the first lady are the picture of happiness. their children, john junior and caroline are to mark their birthdays after the president returns from a trip to texas. arriving in dallas on the morning of the fifth fully, he and mrs. kennedy are greeted by vice president johnson and the mayor of dallas. john f. kennedy has been president for two years, ten months, two days. they ride in the familiar presidential limousine. because the weather has turned fair, a transparent bubble top has been removed. from the fifth floor window, at 12:30 pm comes the rifle shots that bring death to president kennedy, and seriously wounded governor connally of texas. 29 minutes later, the 35th president of the united states lies dead in a nearby hospital. the presidential limousine bears the mark of a violent death. the flowers mrs. kennedy carried from the airport are twisted, torn. shock and disbelief give way to tears. but the nation, and the world's reaction is one of bewilderment and grief. a

[applause] ♪ >> ambassador kennedy, jack, members of the selection committee, trustees of the john f. kennedyry foundation, thank you. this is an extraordinary honor to be here with you to celebrate the work on the life of president kennedy, whose life and legacy directly inspired my own path in hopes that public service could lead to a better world. i went to college up the street. and it was there where i connected my love of history and policy to an interesting leadership in public service. but it was here at this library where i was inspired through learning about the ways in which president kennedy led our country and accounts for his leadership to transform that interest into a desire to seek justice, fight for equality, and serve with courage. on one of my visits i purchased a poster in the gift shop. in it, president kennedy is sitting, conferring with his brother bobby. heads bowed, facing each other. i love that image because to me it captures the salinity of service, the gravity of selfless sacrifice. the weight of courage. it's an image that captured who i hoped to be, fearlessly

the votes were finally counted, john f. kennedy had won the presidency by the narrowest populist vote in american history. both kennedy and nixon received slightly over 34 million votes so that out of a total of over 68 million votes, the largest turnout in american history at that time. kennedy had won by the incredibly narrow margin of slightly over 100,000 votes out of 68 million. or one tenth of 1%. to put it another way, he won by a margin of less than one half vote per precinct across the country, spread out. the electoral vote was not as close, because kennedy won a number of the larger states. but even that was closer than it seemed. an analysis of the terms in various states, show a shifting of fewer than 20,000 votes, from kennedy to nixon in five key states, would have thrown in the election to nixon. and the possibilities were fascinating, and became even more so in light of alleged voter fraud in some of those states. well, in any case, john fitzgerald kennedy took the oath of office in january, 1960, becoming the youn

and that leads us into john f kennedy the next president to die and just very quickly after john f kennedy who also died on planned is when presidents started to do this pre-planning of funerals and and wondering binder that turned into three or that grew over time. so that's when we see the modern the modern-day state funeral that were so familiar with now really start to form after kennedy. really herbert hoovers was the first one that had that pre-planning that had gone into it. yeah, and as you've pointed as we both pointed to the the planned element of it is as geneus said, okay. well, you don't know when when it's going to happen. my gosh with john f kennedy, you really really don't know when it's going to occur. yet a funeral still needs to take place and needs to take place relatively quickly. so nicola if you could talk to us, you've got this fabulous museum here in dallas the sixth floor museum, but a great deal that that covers jfk's funeral. how were they able to do that? well, i think the last thing the presidential couple expected when they made their visit to texas into dall

where's john f kennedy? have these people thought about how john f kennedy behaved during the cuban missile crisis? he understood at the time that it was imperative that we do everything to end the crisis, to make sure there was no nuclear war. these folks are pushing the russians to the point where they're going to give them a very powerful incentive to at least think if not use nuclear weapons. in my opinion, this is just irresponsible. so on the, on the counterpoint to that, john, you know, some more praising president biden, early on for showing restraint of not letting poland mig fighters to be transferred, of trying to send signals as he's done recently, to present to lensky that the provision of missiles came only with the absolute sacred pledge never to attack russia, so that you could maintain this notion that america was sort of responsibly keeping this conflagration contained within ukraine's borders. and not at our doing, you know, going over those borders. would you what, what grade would you giv

john f. kennedy did the same thing, dramatic cut in the income tax which produced a remarkable period of expansion. george w. bush -- or george h.w. bush increased taxes dramatically, increased spending dramatically, and it caused a period of great economic distress. so it's not a matter of the party, it's a matter of the policy. problem is m right now the democrats are pursuing a policy of massive spending, massive taxation, massive regulation, and it's crushing us. >> host: let's hear from tony on the republican line, california. >> caller: yeah, hi, representative. i've been a staunch supporter of the second amendment my entire life, and i just can't reconcile what happened with my views with what happened at uvalde. i don't understand how you can say that we need to arm teachers, we need to have police officers at schools when the simple solution so just do some godch damn -- >> host: oh, go to ah are i on independent -- ali on the independent line in maryland. you're on the air. >> caller: yeah,

basically in a nutshell john f. kennedy was a progrowth democrat. he was a taxcutting democrat.e was a supply-side democrat. and when he ran in 1960, he really ran as the growth guy in richard nixon kind of ran as the status quo. in those day republican party was okay with very high tax rate. eisenhower had no interest in cuttingst the 91% tax rate they inherited from fdr's new deal. and kennedy did not explicitly run on it butpl he said i want % growth. i want low unemployment because there have been three recessions during the eisenhower years. three recessions that is a little known fact but it is true factually. and the connection to reagan some 25 years later was reagan lowered marginal tax rates also. and help read and night and more abundant in economy i would argue is i did quite a bit on our show the reagan tax cuts launched almost a three decade long prosperity. the jfk tax codes launch a decade long prosperity. but unfortunately was unwound and undermined by lbj great society. richard nixon, gerry ford, jimmy carter, none of them understood tax cuts. none of them unde
