the '50s when lbj, lyndon johnson was the democratic leader, he appointed a young senator named john f. kennedy to be in charge of a committee that picked the five greatest senators of all time. and they went through a laborious process of picking five. the three unanimous picks, not surprisingly were henry clay, daniel webster, and john c. calhoun, the famous senators of the precivil war period. and each of those senators is impacted -- depicted by a portrait in the waiting room off of the area of the senate, i've taken constituents there in -- a number of times. one of the favorite things i like to do as constituents is i have them stand at a certain place and walk across the room and keep their eyes on henry clay's eyes. and henry clay's eyes will follow them all the way across, which is a good way of introducing my constituents to the fact that henry clay, our kentuckian, is a person quite famous in american history and they will always -- the youngsters always remember because the eyes follow them all the way across the way. >> you mentioned before he was from kentucky which was a slave ho

but what i'm telling you something happened in the world right here in america, when john f. kennedy went to his inauguration for the first time, january 20, 1961, without wearing a hat. he didn't even have a top coat on, and he set a precedent. it means that night, that very night, the entire hat business in the baltimore area folded up, because men stopped wearing hats immediately. they said if the president doesn't wear a hat to the inauguration, we're not going to wear a hat, and there were no more hat businesses left in baltimore after that time. this hat is very symbolic of the kind of hat that we made in baltimore. it's a straw hat. we were making them by the thousands before the hat business folded up, and i just wear it because it gets -- when i'm talking about the hat, it gives you a living example of what kind of hats men wore back then. and now it's very rare to see a man with a hat. it's even rarer to see women. women always wore hats to church and what have you, and that's kind of going by the way side. but i like to keep the old tradition going by wearing the hat here,

i would go back to john f. kennedy. he had his flaws, made many mistakes, but have the heart of the people in his mind. i would go to the present day today, and say barack obama, hhe has the heart of the people in his mind. that is the type of person that we need. we need someone responsible, who understands what the people are going through. let's talk about the affordable care act. if bush were in, many more people would have lost their homes. let's think about __ we have a present day cares about the people, cares about the needs of the people, who is making decisions now for the future. we know the history of the present of the united states today __ 20 years from now we can look back and see what he did, made a great difference. host: the next caller from texas. caller: happy new year. george bush is my political hero, as well as abe lincoln, and martin luther king. they all believe in people's freedom and rights. they were not cowards and giving it to them, they were not trying to take it away like obama. i don't

bay of pigs was a fiasco and propaganda coup for castro and a black eye for the new president john f. kennedy. 1962, kennedy extended the cuban embargo with the exception of humanitarian aid but not before purchasing 1200 cuban cigars for personal use. then came the cuban missile crisis and the united states and soviet union had a tense stand off over the weapons deployed in cuba. as part of the settlement, the u.s. agreed not to invade. but president kennedy imposed restrictions and preventing u.s. citizens from traveling there. and over the next few days, presidential support for the embargo waxed and waned. >> there is no fresh bread or meat on sale only goods from china and russia. >> the nation was a constant thorn in the side of the u.s. and it lent cuba a romantic mystique. and celebrities in hollywood spoke highly of fidel. and praised the socialized health care system. and bill deblasio travelled to havana for his honeymoon. but no american president from iceeb be hour to george w. bush altered the policy. and then came president obama who promised to transform america. whether or no

. >> there's a picture called the kennedy legacy and it's kennedy's -- john f. kennedy's hair on a balloon. >> well, at that point, there were things that i didn't think -- kennedy has passed in and out of good deeds, good intentions. there's certainly an -- they're certainly an attractive group, and i say group because it was more than just one kennedy. there was a kind of -- look how wonderfully ted kennedy turned out to be. in my heavy-loaded biased days i would have just written him off and said fascist, some stupid thing like that. >> there are several drawings of henry kissinger. i understand one of them was rejected by a publisher? >> no. by all other than one publication. that is, the nation. in fact, the nation was known as -- among cartoonists that if you really had to try something or you wanted something that would be loaded in political terms, this was the place to go. and so i went there and sure enough, they printed kissinger having sex with the globe, being the head of a woman. and i got a call from the editor, saying dave, i think you ought to come down.

the historical coincidence, although some don't think it is and when citizens, of the moment john f. kennedy was killed, there was a cia officer in paris meeting with a high level mall in the cuban military attempting to pass him a poison pen to assassinate fidel castro. at that same moment kennedy had an emissary in cuba, a french journalist meeting went a french journalist, meeting with fidel castro at a safe house, having lunch with him, fresh fish. an aide says turn on the radio the president has been shot in dallas. the mission to pass what he called a message fees from jfk to fidel castro was aborted. it is intriguing that called on us to think through what really happened. for many years, almost 30 years jean daniel story was the only one known about kennedy's efforts to approach catch drove -- castro. he wrote about it only a few weeks after kennedy was killed. he had a front-page story. he wrote an article in the new republic in which he detailed his role as a special envoy. over the course of time we were able to get a kennedy administration file declassified, special contacts with

john f. kennedy robert f. kennedy, edward kennedy president, presidential candidates, lifelong senators from a daycare like. i wonder one thing when we were younger. you were there and a mother and dad told us to take rosemary a long. it took a deep breath and as i looked over at one point and i saw rosemary sees it all by herself over on the pool all alone. i looked over and i saw jack. he excused himself and got up and walk away and he sat down next to rosie, he put his feet in the pool and sat there alone together. he said i will never forget that. can somebody give me some desert or something like that. it was at a family dinner. he didn't say more. but wherever that took place one of those two people sitting alone with their legs in the pool 20 something years later with the president of the united states, the most powerful man arguably on earth and one would be hidden. one would almost be one of the most powerless people on earth. but when those brothers of rosemary kennedy got their chance, but they said

>> john f. kennedy. >> excellent job. >> kennedy? >> you got it!> ask not what your country can do for you but -- >> what your country can do for you. >> no, that's what i said. >> ask not what your country can do for you but -- >> what you can do for your country? i didn't come up with that one. >> who said that? >> bill clinton. >> no, jfk. >> you know something, he's right. >> you're watching "the o'reilly factor" on fox news show. he was really funny. >> he's the only one not nervous about what i'm going to say. >> you're watching "the o'reilly factor." >> yeah, not a fan. >> my husband is addicted to it. >> i did read one of his books to have an open mind though. >> that's nice. >> what do you think you're doing? >> the spin stops here. >> that's right. >> so how many people would you say you queried out there? >> a dozen, maybe a bit more. >> and in you had to give them a collective grade, what would it be? >> i would give a c-minus. i think everyone knows the jfk quote, but it was very difficult. we didn't scrape the bottom of the barrel two

the senate has appointed the special committee chaired by john f. kennedy to it was no easy task. in setting the criteria, the committee looked to senators who had stood firm for our principles. who had not blown with the wind daniel webster's personal financial dealings left an eternal blot on his record, yet he deserved to have this in the senate reception room, not simply as a great orator, but as a man who sacrificed his own political standing by endorsing compromise of 1850 which was deeply unpopular in his home state of massachusetts but which he realizes was the best chance to pull the union together. in 46 years in congress, i've seen other courageous acts. senator howard baker in the panama canal's debates. without senator baker's support, panama canal treaty would never have been approved by the united states senate. needed 2/3. they were swimming uphill. the odds were greatly against us. but howard baker threw his shoulders on the wheel. great odds indicated by the poll. we did so because we believed that the treaties were in the best interest of the united states. what

i'll going along with john f. kennedy. the best form of welfare is a high paying job. what you need is economic growth. what you've shown here and when i did my book on eureka, california, how to fix california four years ago, i stopped at 1800 taxes, and these are all shoot mosquito abatements. it's just crazy. >> i think, listen, i love your--we don't agree on much but we can definitely agree on the fact that there is too much, too many little districts. consolidation will just be more efficient. >> yes. >> but let's go back and say we both enjoy drinking coca-cola, it doesn't matter how rich or poor we are, we can only drink so much of it. if i'm paying a sales tack on it, the rich pay a smaller proportion of their income on sales tax, milk, food, than the poor do. why isn't that a bad thing? why don't we figure out what people earn rather than they spend. >> that's right if all the world is static, and you're totally correct. but it's not. it's dynamic. what you need to do is provide the incentives so the poor and minorities and disenfranchised can get jobs. whenev
