let me just say at the outset that this is an exciting day to talk about a new book about john f. kennedy and the pathway to the presidency. it's an exciting book, and when i first read drafts that john shared with me, i wrote back to him -- and you may recall this very short letter -- that, john, i wish i had had this book before i tried to run for president in 1995. [laughter] because it really is most instructive. and some of the things that i learned from that book in retrospect, although i do not intend to run again for the presidency and want to reassure you all today of that, you really have to want to do it full time. as this book will illustrate from the time that john kennedy entered his second term in the senate, why, he was ready to go for four years. and so, therefore, everything was aligned in that respect. i remember bob dole running. he was running in the year that i was trying, in '95 and '96 and was successful, and i know very well howard baker running earlier than that because i was his campaign manager. but both of these individuals were leaders of the party, minority

this on television. >> when the world stood still and everyone held our breath and there stood john f. kennedy ten feet tall. ten feet tall, that determined, courageous, and strong, and, for the first time, for the first time, we saw nikita khrushchev take up his marbles and go home. >> john pastore, rhode island democrat. been out of there since i think 1976. didn't die until 2003. >> that is right. >> as a matter of fact, i think i just saw his wife just died in may or something. but anyway, would it have made any difference -- let me ask you how about the or toir today -- the oratory today compared to what we've seen with huey long and russell long and john pastore? how did you compare to it? >> much more docile, less row backups for sure. john f. kennedy. -- it reminds me of edward kennedy. particularly later in the later years they had it on c-span. this is or toir. -- this is oratory. spectacular. old school. >> over the years, when were the big increases in the senate? in other words, when it started back at the beginning. how many senators were there? and how did it increase up to 100?

you have the wealthiest man in the world with a radio program devoted to taking down john f. kennedy. kennedy propose to have a medicare program at hl hunt's radio announcers came on the air, hundreds of stations across the country, millions of listeners telling them this medicare idea will make the president and medical star over every american citizen. to get to answer your question, when you have this intensity we saw, we just want to immerse ourselves in the reacherreaders in an environment of whether made that decision. >> is going to ask a question later, the lead me to it. there is a recent blogger for "the new yorker" who identified the continuity of the lease between the 1953, as you describe, and the president. assuming a kind of burnout health care, i feel that's where the audience was laughing a little bit. i was just kind of wondering if these ideas about the continuity of belief in some of the extreme radicals being connected with senators and congressmen and multimillionaires with influence in the country if that resonated with you. >> yeah, of course it did eventually

the president was in florida and i was there and witnessed when john f. kennedy jr. was born and i saw him shortly after his birth. >> in the photograph you can sort of see you peering behind and in a lot of the photographs you have to sort of taken out because he tries to stay in the shadows. his job is not to be in the photographs but you will see him as we go along to the the so even though you were with mrs. kennedy, you spent a lot of time with president kennedy as well just because you were so close to the family. >> yes i have a great deal to do with president kennedy and in this particular photograph in florida. i had been advised that the president's brother-in-law and best friend were going on a little walk and periodically the president and mrs. kennedy would go out to check on them and then the secret service would have to go out there and be there so they would volunteer me. >> how long was this what? >> 50 miles. so i put on the only shoes i had done what last that long. they were weighing a tip. we went out to the sunshine partly and started walking to

hunt bankrolling a radio program that was devoted to taking down john f. kennedy and when kennedy propose to have the medicare program hl hunt's radio announcers came on the air hundreds of stations across the country billions of listeners telling them that this will lead to government -- will make the present day medical czar which i think is a russian word, czar. every american citizen so i finally get to answer your question. when you have this kind of intensity like we saw in dallas we wanted to immerse ourselves in the readers and the environment as much as possible so that is why we made that decision. >> i was going to ask this question but you kind of led me to it, which is there was a recent blogger for "the new yorker" who identified the continuity of the leaps between 1963 as you described and the present so when you bring up health care i feel like that is why the audience was laughing a little bit. i was just kind of wondering in these ideas about the continuity of leaves and some of the extreme radicals being connected with senators and congressman a

well, the story runs december 6, 1963 on life magazine and it's called from john f. kennedy and epilogue and single-handedly one week after her husband's murder jackie kennedy created the most powerful lift in american political history. it was a stroke of the cross manipulation and presentation. and white was torn about this and says i was serving a widow. i felt she deserved it. it was improper. i shouldn't have done it but then he writes in a memoir leader when i left her that night in the driving range i was on familiar ground and i didn't know it and america didn't know it but i passed through an invisible membrane of time and nothing would be the same again. is it a fantasy or because tens of millions of people believe it today does that make it true because it is believed? >> it might make it true for people that are there but you a great historian know that they will write another book and this time it would be the fact on the standpoint of pluses and minuses, good things, bad things, good conduct, that conduct. ladies and gentlemen i can't see, so who has the microp

and then in 1960 john f. kennedy was elected president. one thing a lot of people don't realize is when administrations change, they bring in all of their own people. the one thing that stays the same is the secret service. so you assumed you were going to be transferred to president kennedy's detail, but you found out that you were being assigned to mrs. kennedy. and what did you think about that? >> i was very disappointed. felt like somebody had demoted me to the second team. because all the action in the past had always been with the president, and that's where i wanted to be. i knew how they treated agents with first ladies previously. they watched fashion shows and tea parties and canasta games. that's about all they did. so i didn't want any part of that. but i had to accept the assignment, and i did. >> and when you met mrs. kennedy, she was very pregnant and about two weeks into the assignment you got a phone call. >> yes. it was thanksgiving night, 1960, and i got a phone call. i was at my home, and the phone call told me that th

what john f. kennedy had and he needed to public state his church was not going to interfere with his role asen elected public official. something that main stream didn't have to do. i think today what we're facing is that christian norm is increasingly being challenged bit fact that more expressions of secularism are coming. more people are aware of the ways in which a question christian norm unherntly make unwelcome nonchristian. so a lot of christians feel like the crisis being taken out of christmas by for instance some stores saying happy holiday's instead of merry christmas. what the stores or individuals if they happy holidays are trying to do is be more welcoming and saying to jews and muslims and hindu and atheists. you are welcome here too. the feel the social order predicated on christianity. america is profoundly and essentially a christian nation. is being challenged. and so what does that say about the whole social underpinning of the nation? so i think that we're going through a period of a

>> but john, it is kind of the issue because sometimes a rising tide lifts all boats to quote john f. kennedy, rick's favorite president. if you look at what happened under the reagan term, the lower 20% and the top 20% increased by double digits after those tax rate cuts. >> i'm one of those people who believes that income and equality is unrelentingly beautiful. when that expands that means that life-style and equality is shrinking. people generally get rich by virtue of mass producing that which was formerly available to rich people. they're not producing enough inequality and that's giving a great deal less life-style enhancements for those not rich. >> but the ttom line is that when you have a slow economy like we had in the 70s, the rich very often get richer but the poor get poorer. that didn't happen during the reagan era, did it? >> no, it didn't. look, it's not just the obama administration's fault. it's the bush administration's fault. the cheap dollar policy creates financial bubbles. who can take advantage of financial bubble? the rich. the poor always have to sell out at the bot

but in 1959, i persuaded senator john f. kennedy to be for the idea.s what changed the whole situation. kennedy and johnson in the campaign of 1960 came out for medicare. kennedy appointed me the assistant secretary of hew to get the bill through congress. i spent five years doing that. finally, in 1965, medicare, an insurance program for those 65 and older, and medicaid a federal/statehealth p, were passed. president lyndon johnson flew to independence, missouri and in the presence of harry s. truman, signed the bills into law. medicaid covered the health care costs of millions of low-income people. we asked henry aaron if that met our sponsibilities to tse who couldn't afford medicacare. this woun't be a problem if all stes providedenefits as generous ashose in say the upper third or upper half of the distribution. sometates provide meager medicaid benefits-- fewer than 10 days a year ofospitalization, severe limits on the number of doctor's visits one can receive-- so that even moderate illnesses may not be fully protected under the medicaid program

the mayors noted that former president john f. kennedy called on international leaders to sign a treaty banning nuclear testing. they say his daughter's position gives them hope this can become a reality. they thanked her for going to nagasaki last month and asked her to visit hiroshima next. ambassador kennedy said president obama would visit if the mayors asked him directly. they plan to send a letter of invitation to president obama. >> translator: i understand, the ambassador is hoping for a nuclear-free world, too. >> matsui hopes kennedy will become an important bridge between the two countries. >>> companies in japan say they are confident about the economy. ron madison is here to explain one of japan's mosted looked at quarterly reports. >> seems like the optimists are outnumbering the pessimists yet again this quarter. in fact, some areas showing a positive number for the first time in years. executives are growing more confident about the state of the economy. a gauge of business sentiment has improved now for the fourth quarter

and the very famous speech that john f. kennedy made in 1960 when he was a senator in texas, my hometown of houston. his understanding of scripture. and the very famous speech that john f. kennedy made in 1960 when he was a senator in texas, my hometown of houston. my pastor at the time was there. i was 13 years old and was eager to hear his report after listening to senator kennedy. senator kennedy said he would be guided by his conscience in making decisions, not by any external authority. and he would be guided by his conscience. but if his conscience came into conflict with his duties as president, he would resign the office. we have to assume that john f. kennedy's conscience would be guided by his catholic faith. when it comes to obamacare, my bible teaches me that life begins at conception. i do not think i should be forced to pay for other people's abortions. for people of religious faith, many believe the bible is a guidepost when it comes to the sanctity of human life. it is a totally appropriate ad. the people of arkansa
