john f. kennedy became the first catholic president of the unitey here. peter lawford, who is an robert kennedy, one of his brothers, his mother and father, of course and one of his sisters's husband -- this is an interesting little moment. here is jackie looking up at her husband. a wonderful picture. of course the january was the inauguration. it was an interesting, smelly day. the family decided to walk from the white house to the inauguration. course rather than just , showing a picture of jfk making his speech, this is a very unique view to show. of course, that was the great moment where jfk said -- for me to paraphrase, as not -- ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country. and it was an incredible call for action. worldwide. of course, that night the festivities continued. and here we are that evening in one of the many balls with jfk in his taxi know, and jackie. it was a thrilling occasion to be remembered. he was young, handsome, he understood the responsibilities. but little did he know about the first tough 10

here we are with john f. kennedy. for john f. kennedy we have on loan from the john f. kennedy presidential library and museum a model of his book from world war ii. it was important to him because it was the boat he commanded in the pacific which was sunk by the japanese. and he and 10 of the crew survived and able to swim to an island and able to get rescued that way. as a result, kennedy received the navy and marine medal as well as the purple heart. here we are with lyndon johnson. for lyndon johnson, we have we have the telephone from his desk at the white house. it is a mass of buttons for different lines. there's even an extra side panel for more buttons added on the side to contact more people. lyndon johnson was always on the telephone. he had a telephone installed in his bathroom and he would talk with people. he would bring people in there and talk to them in the bathroom which could be disconcerting. he also recorded telephone conversations he had. those were supposed to be not open to the public until 50 years after he had died. however that changed in 1993

way from that carriage which belongs to teddy roosevelt, up through the sunshine special and john f. kennedy's like it -- kennedy's ,incoln as transitional cars whereas this is a car built from the ground up as an armored vehicle, design from the get go to provide maximum protection to the president. you have a plating behind the doors, bulletproof glass, runflat tires reinforced with steel inside so is the tired auction -- the tire gets punctured it can still drive to safety. it is most often associated with resident reagan. he, of course, was shot in 1981. -- thoughd, so it was it was more dangerous than we thought perhaps at the time. it is almost ironic. as the president was getting into the car or being pushed into the car and he was actually it not by a direct bullet, but i believe that ricocheted off of one of the armor panels on the car. it was just a perfect shot. the ricochet went through the gap of the door and the body. had things moved a fraction of an inch one way or the other, he made out of been hit at all. he was pushed into the car and then sped off to the hospital and was ab

this is john f. kennedy. i have down here playboy millionaire catholic for president. he inherited -- he was the son of a very wealthy man, joseph kennedy, who made a ton of money in the liquor industry, in the movie industry, in hollywood. and he really wanted his sons to not sort of be businessmen working on the margins. but he wanted them to be presidents or senators. there's a scene in one of my favorite movies "the godfather" with don is sitting there looking at his youngest son michael about to take over the mafia. he said michael, i never wanted this for you, i wanted you to be senator corleone, judge core rer corleone and instead you became the mafia boss. that's what joseph kennedy wanted. they go to harvard. it was the oldest son that joseph, the dad, was priming for the presidency. the oldest son gets killed in world war ii, so it's the second oldest son, john f. kennedy who becomes the heir apparent. after the war he runs for the house op representatives from massachusetts where he's from. gets elected. becomes a senator. and at a very young age, he's 43 ye

. >> john f. kennedy came to visit me at hyde park. we talked together and i learned that he was truly interested in carrying on many of the things which my husband had just begun. mr. kennedy is a strong and determined citizen who, as president, would provide the leadership for greater social security benefits, which the social welfare of a civilized nation demands. i urge you to study mr. kennedy's program, to look at his very remarkable record. and i think you will join me in voting for john f. kennedy for president. >> that election was close, but he did win, and there were many people who felt it was her activism and her support of him they gave him that little extra edge to become president of the united states. ♪ >> mrs. eleanor roosevelt arrives in paris. one of the delegates from 58 countries converging on the french capital of the most critical session of the general assembly united nations history. >> eleanor roosevelt became a delegate to the united nations because once she left the white house, president truman decided tha

and then she said john f. kennedy is a cardinal, and it was -- i thought a wonderful touch to that flash of red that really, you know, cat apultd him into the center of american politics and american history. so we have some microphones. we'd like to invite all of you to -- whoever would like to come up and ask a question of our two authors, please come forward. and i would ask that you do ask a question. you've seen how at the present timing it is for us to go on and on and on. and we'd love to talk longer with all of you, but to dpif people a chance to ask questions, if you could keep it brief, that would be great. and we'll take the first. go ahead. >> hi. >> go ahead. >> you mentioned in your talk that kennedy deviated from the mainstream democratic party. and in the 19 of 0 it was clear that the new deal coalition was going out the door. i just wanted to ask what role did the 1960 campaign, kennedy and stooech son in 1956 play in transforming the democratic party and what did that say about the trajectory of the

in the sub title, which is that this was a five-year undertaking on the part of the very young john f. kennedy. so when they think about the 1960 campaign, very few people appreciate that it began as early as it did, that kennedy set his sights on the presidency as early as he did. and that it was as methodical as it was. and very instrumental not only in getting him into the white house but it affected his time in the senate and it affected the whole political world that we inhabit today. this is one of those really transformative moments in american political history. so that is my plug for you guys. not bad, huh. >> oh, no. you know what is coming now. >> no, i want to you begin by telling me something that -- telling all of our wonderful attendees tonight, what i learned when i got to the acknowledgments, which is how this came about. your collaboration and how you decided to do the book. >> well, i guess i could start with my beginning. i was fascinated by the 1956 democratic convention, which i was watched as a teenager on very snowy black and white television set in mississippi. and the

in that time, in that day, obviously john kennedy, john f. he didn't let fidel castro no. he let the russians come in the soviet union know it wouldn't be tolerated. we are now in a similar situation that we have a rogue state, but it only owes its existence to china's protection going back more than 60 years if not for china it would be no north korea then or now. julie: that is a good point. so then, you have enforced the idea behind sanctions. the question now is where does china fall into all of this? is china doing enough? a phone call between president trump and the president of china yesterday and he is asking the president of the united states actually cool down his rhetoric because he doesn't want this to risk further hostility. this is the first time a president has used strong rhetoric against kim jong un and a north korea rogue regimes basically taking advantage of the united states for decades. is that not the rhetoric that needs to take place here in order to send a strong message to pyongyang? >> in the early 1960s, john f. ken

make no mistake, the path you have chosen is hard but as president john f. kennedy said not far from right here back in 1962, we know you choose to do these things not because they are easy but rather because, in his words, because they are hard. that challenge one you are willing to accept and are unwilling to postpone. and that challenge, as president kennedy said, is one in which we intend to win. let me say that these astronauts and all that are gathered here, we will win. under the leadership of president trump, the united states will usher in a new era of space exploration that will benefit every facet of our national life. it will strengthen our national security and safety of the american people, strengthen the economy as we unlock new opportunities and resources of prosperity. it will strengthen education and inspire a rising generation of americans to study science, technology, engineering and math. more than anything else, as the president believes with deep conviction, it will strengthen the american spirit as once again we reach out our hands to touch t

you know, i toiled in one capacity or another for every president since and including john f. kennedyough president obama. and i don't know when i've listened and watched something like this from a president that i found more disturbing. having some understanding of the levers of power that are available to a president if he chooses to exercise them, i found this downright scary and disturbing. >> are you questioning his fitness? >> yes, i do. i really question his ability -- his fitness to be in this office. and i also am beginning to wonder about his motivation for maybe -- maybe he is looking for a way out. i do wonder as well about the people that attracted to this rally as others. you know, what are they thinking? and why am i so far out -- off base? because i don't understand the adulation. of course, that's why i think he gravitated to having this rally, as ill timed as it is. >> what should we do? what should washington do at this point? you said you are questioning his fitness. there are many people who are saying it. they won't say it publically. they won't have the courage

do what ronald reagan did and years prior to that what john f. kennedye results. what do you think of that, bob? >> i think it's a great idea, neil. when reagan did that, he rolled over a democratic-led congress. trump has a republican-led congress. so that was his show-down with tip o'neal and tip o'neal, speaker at the time, later admitted that reagan beat him. you want to use all the tools of the bully pulpit. so trump is very good at campaign rallies. the one thing he has going for him is the economy. he can talk about the economy and say if we pass this bill, the economy will even be better. >> neil: i think an oval office address gives the president a chance to explain what he wants. john f. kennedy wanted to cut tax and winning over republicans could be beneficial. these came into effect after his death. but the idea was to reach across the aisle and in ronald reagan's case, get 40 southern democrats, and john kennedy did the same with the republicans. what do you think of that? >> it's going to be up to president trump. remember, paul ryan had a

look what happened under john f. kennedy reagan when we cut tax rates. by the way, john f. kennedy was a democrat and he basically talked about how getting tax rates down and getting jobs for people would cut taxes in the '80s. we're at 40% and the rest of the world is at 20%. it leads to companies leaving the united states. we just see this month after month. >> let us return to reality, okay? the last time the country did this was when george bush cut taxes for high-income people and big corporations exactly like donald trump is proposing to do now. let's remember the gdp growth is fairly strong, the unemployment rate is very low, so how will we increase the growth rate? will it increase to 6%? >> we just had -- we just had a report that came out today -- hold on. we just had a report that came out today that found the second quarter of gdp growth is 3% which is a lot higher than what we had under obama, which was 2%. and another report that came out said so far this quarter we had 3.5% growth. >> steven, i want to bring a

and john f. kennedy and instructed people, he didn't want any photographs of him playing golf. eventually a few photographs did leak out. >> isn't it hypocritical then and now? >> i'm just saying this is what happens. >> do you believe it's hypocritical for the president to have campaigned -- >> i think it's political and it happens all the time. >> but is it hypocritical. >> anderson, let me be serious about this. >> you're not going to answer that. >> i didn't hear any democrats say, congress should have -- should cancel their vacation. i did hear some republicans saying it. and they didn't do it. and i think they should have. republicans should have canceled their august recess and stayed there in washington and -- >> but jeff, the question of -- yes or no, is it hypocritical for somebody to run, attacking your predecessor for taking too many vacations -- >> no, every president -- >> if that's your answer, you're saying yes, donald trump is being hypocritical like every other president. >> in the sche

even though the popularity of franklin roosevelt and john f. kennedy are forced to "organ for their power with numerous stakeholders. they are often bargaining with weaknesses. >> one of the statements you hear is a lament about a deep state. it's not a problem of a deep state, it's a problem of being a very big country with a global role that we play. every generation, president's take on more global and domestic responsibility including things like health care today and anti-terrorism in the middle east and elsewhere. is pulled in too many directions at once and they can't keep up. i think it's part of the modern condition. it's what executives and professors see at times, too. and his doctorate from el, now teaching at the university of texas in austin. the book is called "the impossible presidency." you make numerous references to thomas jefferson. did he predicted the modern presidency? >> one of the things he recognized as the united states was going to be a world power because of its size, resources, and the model provided as a city upon a hill.

this was the greatest challenge, perhaps, of john f. kennedy's administration.his is a very similar moment. these are the days that will test rex tillerson, jim mattis and the president because it is exactly like the threat we had more than half a century ago that was faced down diplomatically but with the explicit potential use of force if that fails. and as secretary tillerson goes around, that's the message he has to say is that we cannot tolerate it. this is not a moment in which we can have long deliberations or some sort of aid program to woo him away from it. this is exactly where we were 55 years ago and we can't tolerate it. >> harris: and we can't flinch. because as you just heard our reporter, greg palkot who has been inside behind the curtain as i put it, of north korea and seeing some of what is going on there in terms of people on the ground, strength is what they respect, even their citizenry. because they know what their leader is like. so how do we show strength? congressman, without going to war? >> we show it by showing the trading partners. t

harvey the most powerful hurricane to hit the state since john f. kennedy president is now a massive tropical storm. it is expected to churn over southeast texas well into the week, dumping more than 4 feet of rain on areas including houston. in a tweet national weather service said the breadth and intense team of this rainfall are beyond anything experienced before. more than 1,000 people were rescued here today from flooded cars, homes, and businesses. many had to scramble to rooftops to escape. at least 2 people are confirmed dead, but officials fear that number will rise. harvey made landfall along the gulf coast of texas ay as a category 4 hurricane. with a tremendous surge of seawater and winds of 130 miles an hour. the coastal town of rockport took a direct hit, homes were blown apart. the monster storm roughly 600 miles wide, is also unleashing tornados. though officials say the biggest threat now is the catastrophic flooding. including here in the nation's fourth largest city. houston's water crisis ills spread so far so fast, emergency officials r

in other words, the democratic party today is not the party of let's say, harry truman or john f kennedy or even jimmy carter. the democratic party today is the party of obama and hillary to a lesser degree the party of bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. it's a different kind of party and some thing or some one made it that way. now, that's the first link in the chain. the second link is simply to say what are the distinguishing features of this new democratic party. the old democratic party seemed to be a patriotic party generally committed to the same goals of most of us in this room but the difference was over the means, what to do with american prosperity, for example, how to share it, or, yes, america should be strong in the world but is it better for america to be more or less interventionists. these were debates about means but agreeing on the end. the new democratic party i would say is characterized by three new features, first, it kind of rather systematic deployment of lawlessness in public policy and so, for example, the immigration laws say one thing but obama does another

the cuban missile crisis it was kind of a flip flop we had a more level headed president with john f. kennedy but we had curtis lemay on the joint chiefs of staff who wanted to bomb russia he wanted to bomb cuba we had henry kissinger who wanted to have a limited nuclear war not not too early before all that in europe so there is always going to be differing opinions i think yes trump is the president but there are a lot of level heads on the joint chiefs of staff on his chief of staff his national security adviser and i think we're all being a little too alarmist right now is not walking around with well wait a minute. now rob rob several minutes double death. i know that i know you are defending trump but the fact is that mattis backed up what the president said yesterday. a couple of days ago heidi your thoughts on that i mean are they speaking with one voice well i don't think our troops declare war on anybody he's just saying if you started with us you started with our territories we're going to come back at you that's all he's saying it doesn't need to go to congress for that and genera

in other words, the democratic party today is not the party of, let's say, harry truman or john f. kennedy or even jimmy carter. the democratic party today is the party of obama and hillary and to a lesser degree the part of of bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. that is the first link in the chain. the second link is simply to say what are the distinguishing features of this new democratic party? the old democratic party seemed to be a patriotic party committed to the goals and what to do at 5:30 and how to share it. or i guess it should be strong in the world but is it better for america to be more or less interventionists? these are about agreeing on the ends. the new democratic party i would say is characterized by three new features. first, a kind of rather systematic deployment of lawlessness in public policy. the immigration laws say one thing but obama does another thing. the defensive marriage act does one thing but he does another thing. obama sees himself as above the law. the law is a tool. the second feature is a willingness to use the power of the state against your opponent
