as you see, they are bringing the weapon allegedly used in the assassination of president john f. kennedyere in dallas. >> in the wake of the kennedy assassination, the dallas police on the one hand were committing all of their resources to try and solve a crime. in the end, they were ill equipped to handle this tsunami of reporters. >> well, i was questioned by a judge, but i protested at that time that i was not allowed legal representation. >> in bringing oswald out, they were of course doing something that you would never see happen today, but they were trying to cooperate with the press, with the understanding that there would not be questions shouted to him. >> did you kill the president? >> no, i have not been charged with that. in fact, nobody has said that to me yet. the first thing i heard about it was when the newspaper reporters in the hall asked me that question. >> you have been charged. >> sir? >> you have been charged? >> nobody said what? >> okay. >> what did you do in russia? >> oswald. >> how did you hurt your eye? >> a policeman hit me. >> at 1:35 this morning, a compl

but you read this book, you'll know who john f. kennedywho his wife was and how he died. >> and you believe in the theory that -- >> we don't do any theories, this is all facts. lee harry oswald shot kennedy to death. he put two bullets in the car in 2 1/2 second. and he killed kennedy. were there other people around oswald that should have not been around him? did kennedy have other very powerful enemies? yes he did. we go through it, but everything in that book is fact based. >> let me tell you why this is going to be another number one best seller. i was down in dallas visiting my daughter, who's in college there, because it was raining, we went to the sixth floor museum. it was standing room only. so many people. they want, they're hungry for answers. >> it's a very emotional deal. >> we pointed where jfk jim canto cantore -- he changed dramatically. i spent a lot of time on that in the book. after his baby died he was changed. everybody remembers if you were alive back then, where you were when kennedy was skilled. my maternal grandmo

. >> president john f. kennedy assassination records collection was created because of the john f. kennedy assassination records collection act of 1992. a short history. since the time of the assassination there's been numerous official investigations starting with the warren commission and then some congressional investigations, church committee looked into it, pike committee and house select committee on assassinations. in the early '90s a movie came out by oliver stone. at the end of the movie he made a point by saying not all the records had been opened and available. >> mr. chairman, members of the subcommittee, my name is oliver stone, and i assure you it is with some pleasure and some pride i appear before this subcommittee today to urge the passage of house joint resolution of 454, quote, to provide for the expeditious scloesh yur of records relating to the assassination of president john f. kennedy. >> the purpose of the act was to make sure all the records were collected, sent to archives. there was an independent aek created that was temporary whose job was to make sure t

as many of you know, i've written a lot of biographies of john f. kennedy, kennedy and nixon. i don't mind saying, buy these books. they're the best i've written. but back in '96 i had the opportunity to interview the 35th president's son, john f. kennedy jr who was once thought to be the heir to his father's political legacy, that was before his tragic death in 1999. here's a bit from that interview. >> i want to ask you about fun. i think you are trying to bring fun back into politics. it's been missing for about 25 years. people used to say when they worked for president kennedy in the white house. they had a great time. people loved politics. it was a positive thing. and that's been missing. >> yeah, i mean, i think it's like anything else. if, you know, the trick is catching people's attention. and the only thing that people see are a bunch of men fighting on television all the time, or negative commercials on television, or acerbic editorials, they'll turn their attention somewhere else. we wanted to bring some fun, some levity, but be serious-minded at the same time. >>

winston churchill and john f. kennedy. did in your book quite well, which is talk about how the older man, the brit, influenced the younger american? >> well, sure, everybody knows that joe kennedy had an immense impact on his son, jfd. but churchill was the intellectual godfather of jfk from a very early age. there were people who saw jfk sick in bed at age 15 reading winston churchill's books. so he had a profound impact on his thinking, his view of the world. >> you know, my father, who is a republican and a real nixon guy back in '60 would say, and it stayed with me, he said, when you listen to kennedy, there's a touch of churchill there. >> absolutely. he invoked winston churchill's name quite a bit in the 1960 campaign. when we think of the inaugural address, it is replete with churchillian imagery, the idea of human freedom, that we should stand for freedom in the world. he took on that burden from churchill and it was jfk who carried it through his administration. >> and he would sit in the bathtub listening to reco

not john f. kennedy. >> i think what will happen now, mccarthy gets a new life. a long shot. but he has a chance now. i think that, however, you don't write off robert kennedy, because he can come off the floor and win big in california. that's what he has to do. if he didn't win big in california, he's had it. f my esi hob nob with the glitterati and play equestrian sports. out on the veranda, we enjoy finger sandwiches and other assorted dainties. i wear nothing less than the finest designer footwear. wherever i go, the paparazzi capture my every move. yes, i am rich. that's why i drink the champagne of beers. you that straight from the only florigrove taste...an bring because florida's natural is the only major orange juice brand that's owned by growers and never imported. we bring that "straight from the grove" taste from us, the orange juice growers... mornin' ma'am. ...to you, the orange juice lovers. and you can taste it in every glass. florida's natural. great taste. naturally!

when ford gets it profile of courage award from the john f. kennedy library and the john f. kennedy foundation for his pardon of richard nixon. now i submit to you that while ford deserved as a man of honor. and as a -- and who was almost killed in world war ii almost blown off in the typhoon of blown off in his aircraft carrier, a man who served his country honorably deserved to be called courageous. that wasn't what the pardon was all about. the pardon is trying to clean his desk so he can have the ford administration as he wants it. he wanted to get rid of that ghost. he's being honored something here that i think is true to his character but not true to the incident. gerald ford said to me when i asked him what is the most important thing that you want to be remembered for as president of the united states that night. he said i want to be -- if i'm remembered for anything i want to be remembered for healing this land. depending on how you view the pardon, i leave it up to you as to whether or not president ford did what he wanted to do. i thank you and -- thank you. >> go

went downhill from there. >> i, john fitzgerald kennedy, solemnly swear. >> reporter: john f. edy. attempted to overthrow castro in the bay of pigs invasion. president kennedy moved forward with attempts to destabilize the cuban government with attempts to assassination castro with a poison pen. in october 1962, the missile crisis. fearing an invasion from the u.s., allowed soviet missiles on the soil causing panic. u2 spy plane spotted built by the soviet union. the showdown of the united nations, u.s. demanded their removal. >> it will be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile, launch from cuba or against any nation in the western hemisphere as an attack. >> reporter: the soviet union blinked and the missiles were removed. almost two decades later in 1980, the cuban government allowed people to leave the country without a permit. nearly 125,000 cubans fled the island and arrived by boat 90 miles away in florida. at first, the u.s. welcomed the refugees but the sheer numbers overwhelmed facilities and stopped giving them asylum. boiled again around a 6-year-ol

just over three months into his presidency, john f. kennedy like millions of other americans across the country was glued to his television. >> alan shepard became an instant hero that this country needed. but a cosmonaut circled the earth a month before. >> reporter: they sought out advice from nasa's top engineers. one was famed rocket scientist von braun. >> president kennedy here with missile expert von braun began a two-day tour of u.s. space centers. >> i read a letter from von braun, he wrote to kennedy, when he said how can we beat the russians, and von braun's letter basically said, we can't beat them anywhere except to be the first on the moon. so that's what we committed to. >> reporter: may 25th, 1961 the president made a dramatic announcement before a joint session of congress. >> i believe that this nation should commit itself of achieving the goal before this decade is out of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. >> we didn't go to the moon to collect rocks. we went to the moon to stick the flag in the

now we know khrushchev's diaries and what have you that he thought john f. kennedy was a light way. don't think you would have thought that way about nixon. how do you see at? >> i do believe khrushchev saw kennedy has attended and watched the bay of pigs which is a complete debacle and then he ran into kennedy in vienna and even kennedy himself said khrushchev had brutalized him. he didn't put up the berlin wall. he got no response except for kennedy called up a lot of my friends with one more year in the service and i think that's persuaded khrushchev that he could get away with putting missiles in cuba. he would never have done that under eisenhower because of world war ii and i don't think he would have done that while richard nixon if richard nixon had won that election at all. and i don't think richard nixon would have sent those fellows into cuba unless he was determined that invasion would work. so i think it would have been a different situation undoubtedly. but i can't know. with regard to with vietnam as a point on my ibook i supported the vietnam war as an editorial writ

chancellor cole, governor mayor, ladies and gentlemen, 24 years ago, president john f. kennedy visited berlin. speaking to the people of this city, and the world at the city hall, but since then two other presidents have come, each in his turn to berlin, and today i myself make my second visit to your city. we come to berlin, we american presidents, because it is our duty to speak in this place of freedom. but i must confess, we're drawn here by other things as well, by the feeling of history in this city. more than 500 years older than our own nation. by the beauty of the people, but mostly by your courage and determination. perhaps the composer paul lenke understood something about american presidents. you see, like so many presidents before me, i come here today because wherever i go, whatever i do, [ speaking german ] our gathering today is being broadcast throughout western europe and north america. i understand that it is being seen and heard as well in the east. to those listening throughout eastern europe, i extend my warmest greetings and the good will of the american

that we want to believe john f. kennedyhen he says we can go out and do all these wonderful things. and there's social science that seems to back that rhetoric up. and if we have military officers who have fought against totalitarianism, against fascism in world war ii and done so successfully, you fought in the korean war and not just contained but rolled back communism in the mid-1950s, then i think that faith in american power, which may seem a bit arrogant now, i think when you put it in the context of the era, it may not be as unreasonable as it seems on its face. >> in the midst of the vietnam war, right in the middle of it, ho chi minh was thrown out of power, pushed out of power literally by bezuan, an aggressively -- calling for world domination of communism and eventually, you know, in 1975, we left vietnam and as far as i know he was in power.

here at the john f. kennedy family service center, interviewers spoke to mr. a, b, and c. mr. a is 61, the former vice president of a substantial mail order catalog business, earning around $22,000 per year. forced out of business by competition, he has not been able to find work except as a retail salesman at around $47 per week. his only handicap is his age. --s, by any method of merit any measure, is a conspicuous waste. mr. b is a college man, one-time sales manager earned around $10,000 per year. since 1964 he has been unemployed and unable to find a job of any can -- any kind. his only fault is that he is 65 years old. mr. c has a bachelors of philosophy and law degree. 427 years he was an outstanding engineer, civics worker, and affected speech maker. the company that he works for transfer their headquarters to the west coast. for two years now mr. c has been out of work. why? he is 62 years young. are those cases unique? .ere dr. paul >> at first we thought that these cases were unusual, but as time went on we found that they were not uncommon. many well all applied, a

but in 1959, i persuaded senator john f. kennedy to be for the idea.t'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 medicarean insurance program for those 65 and older and medicaid a feral/statehealth program for the poor, were passed. presidenlyndon johnson ew to independence, missouri and in the presence of harry s. truman signed the bills into law. medicaid covered the heal care costs of millions of low-income people. we asked henry aaron if that met our sponsibilities to tseho couldn't afford medicacare is wouldt be a problem if all states 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 t be fully protected under the medicaid progr

i just got through reading john f. kennedy's speech he was to give the day he was assassinated. guess what he was fighting for to the very end. a corporate and personal tax cut. he said that he basically applauded beating western europe. and after tax corporate profits were going up. so he was fighting to the very end for tax cuts and saying, that is what gives you the strongest expansion in world economic history. >> and this president is going to fight to the very end of his term, i think, for the opposite, for very anti-business matters, right? >> i think he's just fighting for relevancy and for attention when he's no longer getting it. let's be fair, his presidency essentially ended the end of 2012. that's one reason the economy is starting to grow. we've got gridlock. i think it's going to help the republicans because the voters don't buy what he's going to do. what do we need from the republicans? a president who is pro-economic freedom and you will get business growth. >> i agree with john that the voters aren't buying it. but the fact is he's going to be the president fo

the airline has apologized for the incident at new york john f kennedy international airport. the 40-year-old daughter of the chairman. when she took issue with a flight attendance who gave her nuts in a bag, as opposed to on a dish. the incident has called a storm in south korea. she was one of the passengers, not the vice president of korean air at that moment. i am not sure what she was thinking. but it is likely she was bossy, and acted above her position. it was abuse of power, and the wrong action to take. returning a plane to the gate is only possible when there's something very important that's happened. therefore, the vice president was wrong to order the plane to return due to heroin personal feelings. >> now, bruce lee was a martial arts icon, famed for his fighting ability and legendary self-discipline. even now, he has a huge following and that includes one young man from afghanistan, who is using bruce lee as an obvious inspiration to work toward as better life. he is fighting for a better future. he is is passionate about kung fu. he started when he was 14, and

i'm tom putnam, director of the john f. kennedy presidential library and museum, and on behalf of the ken library foundation and my librarian foundation colleagues i thank you for coming. welcome all those watching on c-span, and acknowledge the generous underwrite overred the kennedy library, lead sponsor, bank of america, raytheon, boston capital, the boston foundation, and our media part in other words the boston globe, x -- x finnity. it's the late 1950s, young, attractive presidential candidate, scion to fortune, one-man force field of celebrity good, look and charms, fresh all victory in his home state in the middle east and impatient under president eisenhower, itching to get the country moving again, and encountering his main impediment to the white house in the form of richard m. nixon. the description applies to john f. kennedy also fits nelson a. rockefeller. the resemblance is more uncanny when comparing their interests in the arts, environmenty, future of lattin america and their mutual belief in government action to i

you can tell your experiences of how nixon thought about john f. kennedy >> that little bit of testimony wasn't the focus of my testimony where i explain the atmosphere at the nixon white house. i later read in the nixon memoirs where he felt that was the most devastating part of the testimony. we could never recover from that because it happened to be true and fairly damning. nixon's preoccupation with the kennedys is the aftermath of the 1960 contest he had where he and jack kennedy had run for the presidency. they personally had a friendly relationship, they had been in the senate at the same time, arrive at the senate at the same time and their words certain mutual regard. it wasn't jack kennedy as much as bobby and teddy kennedy that troubled him. he was quite convinced that he was going to see in his reelection that teddy kennedy stepped forward. he always read people like mcgovern when they were defined for the nomination as stalking horse that might well just step aside if kennedy came into play so he never lets up. until almost the of bitter end i

in courtings he wore a cowboy outfit and tried to subpoena john f. kennedy and the pope.t would be the 11th execution for texas this year alone. it's another actually more accurate to think of the lone star state as its own entity and then the death penalty everywhere else. >> there's one other execution that i see very vividly, and, honestly, i do not remember the man's name. i can see his face very clearly. but i don't remember what year it was. there were no witnesses for the victim's family. there were no witnesses for the inmate's family. he was there completely alone. he never looked at the side. he just kept looking at the ceiling and shook his head no. you just saw this one tear run down his cheek and it just really stuck with me because it is such a sad, lonely scene. >>> sony pictures entertainment >>> sony pictures entertainment is reeling from what may be the biggest and most devastating hacking in hollywood's history. last week, employees logging into their computers were greeted with the following images on their screens. it was not the republican party that

john f. kennedy said that he was there, he tells the press that he is nick him the scenes that he thought that he witnessed in birmingham of german shepherds and fire hoses and over 1000 young children as young as eight years old being incarcerated as they try to desegregate birmingham, alabama. and then this is also kennedy's finest moment, june 11, 19 to three, where he delivers an eloquent speech about race relations and american democracy and citizenship in a nationally televised address where he calls this a moral problem that it is as old as picture and clears the constitution. the very next morning another individual was assassinated in mississippi and certainly his work had been continued by his widow. and this also includes washington in 1928 in 1963,, now is the time to make real the problem of democracy. and november 22, 1963, kennedy's assassination is really sending shockwaves throughout the country. and it provides a context for civil rights and not just the passage of civil rights but

next, the assassination of john f. kennedy. starts with the assassination and goes all away through it. then there is a whole style that is here with regards to the evidence that was used. this one was mainly photographs taken. nixonegards to richard bringing down the white house. observations on the nixon memoirs. book, the nixon's treatment of watergate constitutes a masterpiece of invasion and declarations, a distortion of facts and erroneous conclusions. there is a legal term that best describes his version. he has quotes around it. confession and avoidance. right after that, in 1976, he is invited by the president of baylor to address the chamber of commerce on waco. on january 12, 1976, he opens his speech with this paragraph. there is just one way to put it, it is great to be home again and waco has been and always will be home. jules bledsoe is the first african-american to sing on broadway. inwas born here, and waco, 1897, although there is some controversy -- i have seen 1898, 1902, but we will say 1897. he died in 19

in november, john f. kennedy was assassinated. i don't need to tell anybody how much of a real change that brought about in folks attitudes. it happened the same fall that tv network news for the first time expanded in the evening from 15 minutes to a whole half an hour. it is mind boggling. the whole half hour of news. can you imagine not? before that, news for 15 minutes followed by tv program called sports. in both cases, the news anchor would have his -- it was always a he, have a little sign in front of him with the sponsor, usually some other brand like that. but that november, that was the first spring -- first fall for the networks were prepared to have a half-hour of news every night. they had more electronic bureaus than ever before. it capabilities every 24 hours for that weekend. so we not only saw the coverage in the wake of john f. kennedy's assassination, but also that someday i might tv. lee harvey oswald's assassination at the headquarters. and about two months later, earth shattering for those us at the hospital,

president john f kennedy was in the white house. we go now 55 or 54 years to 2014.in american policy toward that regime that has seen no changes since january 1st 1959. we're talking about the possibility of opening an embassy? >> absolutely. >> since 1961? what else? >> we're talking about all the steps -- i covered the normalzation of relations with vietnam. john kerry was part of that processes a well under the clinton administration. these are the steps that will begin as of today. you're going see in panama at the oas summit the oas, for the first time invited cuba to participate. president obama will be there in april, rule castro will be there. you'll see the first potential meeting between the two leaders. cuba, obviously, will have to reciprocate step by step as vietnam did. we had to get the return of the remains of our missing solgd inging soldiers. all of that had to take place. i was there when they began the steps. we have a vigorous economic relationship. it doesn't mean that vietnam doesn't have to tolltarian rules. it doesn't mean that china is toll

he tried to issue subpoenas to john f. kennedy and to the pope. he believes the state of texas wants to excute him not because he killed his inlaws. he says he didn't. he says that was his alter ego, a man named sarj. he has paint ds a portrait in prison of what he says sarj looks like. it's texas taking the side of satan against him who's on the side of jesus. that exkugsz considered whether someone could legally be exz cuted in this country. >>> in 2007, they ruled that a person cannot legally be executed unless they are not well enough to have a rashl understanding of why the state plans to kill him. despite that ruling, the state of texas thinks that scott pinnetti is faking that illness. he must have been a real master mind. his execution date is scheduled for tomorrow, 6:00 p.m. local time. the texas board of pardons and parole ruled yesterday that the execution should go ahead. legally, it's up to, basically, the united states supreme court to stay the execution sometime tonight or tomorrow. or it's up to this man. rick perry. lawyers actin
