there is a presence to john f. kennedy that is unusual. congressman hoyer read the lines from the opening sentences of the inaugural. the guest is sitting behind me said thank you. there is an immediacy to the words of kennedy that lives with us. >> he was a student of history, studying in school, preparing for the profiles of courage, and, if we don't learn from history, we will repeat. >> i think the historical sense of what, in my research -- historical sensibility is so powerful and comes out, even when he is basically young guy. there was not cell phones, ipads, or anything else. he had one thing he could do, read. that historical sensibility was manifest and it shines through. >> we remember him and he was quite shy. he is talking about himself and he said it was hard. he said that he would rather read a book and then talk a -- talk to a person. he was smaller than his older brother. his older brother was supposed to go into politics. there was a reserve that came from his reading that made him attractive, like he was holding somethin

in my office at the capital, there is a bust of john f. kennedy and it is a miniature of the bust that is in the kennedy center that was given to me by and i was a 1973 member of the maryland state senate and she gave it to me. she knew what an impact kennedy made on my life. valuesa reminder of the that he stood for and the kurds withwith -- the courage which she stood for them. john kennedy came to the campus of maryland and he spoke, as i'm sure he spoke to hundreds of thousands of young people in this audience, about what we could do to make a difference and what we ought to do to make a difference. in short, ask not what our country could do for us, but what we could do for our country. when president kennedy went to amherst college to eulogize robert frost, he observed that a nation reveals itself by the men it produces and by the men it honors. add,sure that we would all "the women." reveal, in our tributes, the vision that he espoused -- a positive vision, a hopeful vision, a vision of partnership oand mutual responsibility. america bolste

[applause] i want to thank ken feinberg for his amazing leadership and generosity. i really -- oh, yeah, cheer. [cheers and applause] and i want to thank the foundation and library staff for working to preserve the past and inspire future generations to public service in president kennedy's name. tonight we're celebrating the timeless values that president kennedy lived by and that have made america the indispensable nation -- courage, patriotism, justice, innovation, service, and the commitment to building a more pea

as contact diminished, hoover turned his attention to the incoming president, john f. kennedy. the senator was no stranger to hoover, who followed the man's life and career for 20 years. hoover was friends with joseph p kennedy, the father of the incoming president. hoover sent kennedy a note shortly after the election in november offering his assistance to the new administration. the new president took hoover up on his offer. when he was planning a new food for peace initiative, kennedy sent an assistant named george mcgovern to visit hoover at the waldorf towers. the former president and future presidential nominee spent the afternoon discussing options for an effective program. hoover's ideas were valued in the kennedy white house and he continued to release statements in support of the policy and sent letters to the white house seeking to influence legislation. that hoover's support was important to the kennedy administration was evident in the fact that the former president comments were leaked to the press by the white house. when legislation bogged down in congress in apr

famously, when john f. kennedy parisckie kennedy went to , they were more interested in the first lady than our president. she set a high bar for a social, venue in washington, d.c., inviting poets to the white house, on, and on. when you are getting to our current first lady, i agree with you. i was hoping she would be a little more proactive in picking up on women's rights, climate change, or a basket area she has professed interest to. however, i think she has handled herself with style and grace. she came down to texas during hurricane harvey and handed out food, met with people. i think her popularity is fairly high, but largely because of what you are suggesting, she stays up this stage. in that regard, because when we had the inauguration, she looked like jackie kennedy, wearing a fashionable clothing and got commented on a lot, but she is acting more like a br -- bess truman, very much off the stage and doesn't seem to get involved with public policy very much at all. it is unfortunate. nobody expected her

cars used by presidents truman, eisenhower, carter, and reagan, and the lincoln continental that john f. kennedy was riding in when he was assassinated. matt: my name is matt anderson. i am curator of transportation here at the henry ford. we are inside the henry ford museum of american innovation. just outside our driving america exhibit, where we look at the history of the automobile in the united states. we are actually standing in front of a series of presidential limousines, which tell the story of the development of presidential transportation over the last 117 years or so. right behind me is the 1902 carriage used by theodore roosevelt. the automobile really becomes a force in the united states starting in the 1890's. but by the time of roosevelt's administration, it is a common occurrence to see cars moving on public streets. roosevelt, interestingly enough, for all the reputation he has as a real forward-looking progressive, really never cared much for automobiles. he wanted to remain in horse-drawn vehicles. i think partly he thought there was a formality involved with horse-drawn tran

when john f. kennedy and jackie kennedy went to paris, with -- they were interested in the first lady instead of the president. inviting people like carl sandburg to the white house. getting to our current first lady, i agree with you. i was hoping she would be a little more proactive on picking up with women's rights or climate change, or one of the basket areas that she has professed a great interest to. i think she has handled herself with style and grace. where i amwn to hear not in texas, met with people -- met withn texas, people. what you are suggesting, she does not do anything. she stays up the stage. , when we had the inauguration, she looked like jackie kennedy. she wore the fashionable clothes. she is acting more like a truman for eisenhower, someone very much off the stage, who does not seem to get involved with public policy very much at all. it is unfortunate. no one expected her to be eleanor roosevelt, but it would be nice to see her pick a particular interest the way that nancy reagan di

if you wants to fire the fbi director all he has to do is 500 somebody said the other day, if john f. kennedy had fired j. edgar hoover over investigating and wiretapping martin luther king, jr. would people have thought it was obstruction? so there's not really collusion. so what's the latest leak from the "washington post" whose record by the way of running anonymous leaks is actually beaten the "new york times," an enormous achievement and they give the post-credit that in the energy and enthusiasm they have been even more consistently wrong than the times which is actually in the olympics of stupidity and enormous enormous challenge. so the latest thing is robert mueller who will not be able to get anything on russia will not be able to get anything on obstruction is not going to look at finances. what you're seeing of course is, this is why when i was speaker i oppose renewing the independent counsel act because what happens is you bring in l bunch of high-priced lawyers, they give up the regular career. they will look for a scout, find somebody, the fitzgerald case where comey brought i

marvelous book that he wrote a whiff of his "boston globe" reporters, and he talks about how john f. kennedy became president of the united states. it's actually a very fascinating book. next is the author of a very important book on william f. buckley junior. they've taught at one of the prestigious universities in the nation. he has written articles for numerous newspapers, magazines, he was a principal spokesman for the 9/11 commission that we are familiar with. and he also served as an advisor to the state department and the defense department in two different presidential administrations. he was also on the republican majority staff in the house that on representative and this is what his book looks like. i want all of you to make sure that you have seen the two because you're going to want to buy at least three. nobody should want to go home without this but last not least is the situation here sitting next to me as both he is waltera native of massachusetts grew up in california. at the stanford university he came back again to become a graduate of harvard university law school. he ha

the john f. kennedy presidential library director moderates the discussion. this is about 90 minutes. host: good evening. did you know that john f. kennedy was the most photographed leader of his day? this may not surprise you. he used photography strategically to share values and vision for america. it was also the golden age of photography in america and that is why this is of interest to us

not occur is being replaced so all they have to do is fire him and it was a very good test if john f. kennedy fired j. edgar hoover over investigating people thought that it was obstruction so there isn't really collusion. in their energy and enthusiasm they have been even more wrong in the time which is actually in the stupidity and enormous challenge. they called him the godfather to his children prince gerald in order to appoint him a special counsel retainer there was no crime because valerie plane has already been no longer a protected me that the cia and they knew who had done it. the example and the danger of the cover of the government if you go back and look at that case that is why i'm very worried about me when it's not that he is a bad person. i have no doubt. i encourage everybody to read arthur miller's the crucible in the late century of salem

caller: i think the last one was probably john f. kennedy. host: shelley in washington, d.c.o ahead. yes.r: i did listen to a lot of the book tour presentation last night that was broadcast on way and as always i am impressed with hillary clinton's ability to speak. some truth to me that i find disturbing especially when i do listen to the c-span show and hear what other people around the country think. the fake news things. the lack of wanting to believe just basic facts. i find really disturbing in our current situation. i'm not necessarily somebody who thinks oh my gosh, hillary clinton lost. how terrible. that's not wear them coming from. scientistn a essentially all my life. facts and this trying to avoid the facts i find disturbing and i really appreciated what she had to say about that last night. it always makes me feel better that i'm not the only person who worries about such things. the last caller brought up in godsey. it's hillary clinton's fault with these people died. it is so much more complicated than that. that's all i had to say. host: here's more of what s

as i look at korea, i think of the cuban missile crisis and i think of how john f. kennedyent, in his telexes and private communications with niki nikita kruschev of russia could be very blunt but didn't unnecessarily rattle cages when he wasn't sure what condition khrushchev was in. when this president gets overly dramatic in his approach and phraseology, i'm not sure what it gets him. candor is good. overdramatic words in a dramatic time, that's not so good. >> in fact, in your analogy, when john f. kennedy received two letters that were contradictory from the soviets, one dialing it up and one looking for the diplomatic way out, he said, let's ignore the bad letter -- i'm paraphrasing, of course -- let's own this letter and take the diplomatic path and force them to. in this case the rocket man, we understand that several people in the administration did not want him to go that route, but then on friday night in alabama before a crowd, which always gets the president's juices going, it was little kim, little rocket manner, and that was after we had seen kim respond to th

in 1962, one year after i was born, at the economic club of new york, john f. kennedy gave a speech about cutting taxes and unleashing the american economy. democrats in congress who opposedes president trump's pla, maybe you guys should pay close attention, because you have no agenda. watch y this. a >> the final and best means of strengthening demand among consumers and business is to reduce the burden on private income and that deterrence to private initiative, which are imposed by our present tax system. this administration pledged itself last summer to add across the board, top to bottom cut, and personal and corporate income taxes to be enacted and become affected in 1963. i'm not talking about a quick or temporary tax cut, which would be more appropriate, if a recession were imminent. nor am i talking about giving the economy a mere shot iner the arm to ease some temporary complaints. >> sean: wow. president kennedy, he slashed the top marginal tax rate from 90 to 77%. guess what happened? the economy soared. millions of jobs are created and revenue to the feder

way back almost as far back as does the north-south report because it is the speech given by john f. kennedy in one thousand nine hundred sixty three you can see everything we need for say future has already been thought. written and sound i believe we should focus today on the boat visions of the north south commission and that of john f. kennedy and have the courage to put forward new office on designing women and arms control and confidence building. ladies and gentleman one of our task is to resolve emerging crises early on one recent example of this was the escalation of violence against the real hinges and the flows of refugees in the region we have to act as quickly as possible here in the form of both political and humanitarian support in order to alleviate the suffering and the conflict germany will again increase its aid for the region just by the international red cross. germany is committed to providing political and humanitarian support as well as to practical piece of the in many crisis regions around the world. military engagement under the auspices of the united nations is al

john f. kennedy the first 100 days as we know was bit of a failure. the bay of pigs happened in the first 100 days. the cosmonauts going into space with russia. but by omitting that kennedy said i screwed up the bay of pigs. do not blame anyone i did it. he had the 77 percent approval rating after his first 100 days by after the first year in office, john f. kennedy had an 80 percent approval rating. that is not going to happen with donald trump. he is just as you mentioned last night in alabama, wherever he goes, he is polarizing. he feels he is winning in a divide and conquer way. i worked on books on reagan before and reagan used to say, you have to have 50 percent of the box office to get something done. meaning that your post have to be if you want, in order to push policy through. donald trump is counseling operating with 35 to 40 percent and hence, nothing is getting done. but he still the headline news every day because of twitter and by claims that this cultural war like we so with roseville, you've seen with football, last night and i find it

when the foundation was created, john f. kennedyemorial library foundation was created on december 6, 1963, in the wake of the assassination and the goal of the library was not just to build the presidential library but a nation's monument to the slain president, this photograph here as you walk out one of the most inspiring vistas at any of the presidential libraries. brian: from the 1960 debates with richard nixon, you have as you know, one of the podiums and a picture of richard nixon. anthony: yes. brian: how do they treat the substance at the jfk library? anthony: i think they treat the substance less than the nixon library does about the same topic. there is this apocryphal tale that people who watch the debate on television -- the kennedy library exhibit is geared towards that tale. just look at the two, you get a sense of the man and you can judge for yourself. brian: so after, you were in texas, before the g.w. bush library, where did you go on your 2003 tour? anthony: california. i went out to the reagan and nixon librarie

. >>> president trump could be releasing documents about president john f. kennedy's assassination.992 law requires the archives to release thousands of never before seen documents by october 26th. that is, unless the president stops them. the files are thought to give insight into the movement of jfk's killer in the weeks before the assassination. the president has the authority to stop the release if doing so could harm the country. the white house has not yet made any comment. >>> the owner of one melbourne service station avoided a robbery thanks to the automatic doors. a brief struggle to get into the store, the robber jumps the counter, and he steals the cash register. as he tries to flee, the doors stump him again, this time trapping him inside. he throws the cash register at the door sending all of the money flying. the thief ultimately manages to get out but left with nothing, thankfully no one was injured in the robbery. >> he's like, what was the point of that. >>> straight ahead, new details surrounding the death of otto warmbier health captive by the north koreans. i wa

i'd like to go further back to john f. kennedy. my irish grandmother on my mother's side she had a picture of jfk on her wall. i think that's mainly because he was irish and catholic and handsome, but i would put a picture of him on the wall because he was a tax cutter. a lot of people don't know that. he was the last democrat who really believed in cutting taxes and what happened, sadly, he didn't live to see a lot of this. but what happened as a result, the economy soared in the mid to late '60s, as did the stock market. so, jfk proves when we cut taxes, we incentivize people and put money in their pockets and empower them. great things happen and prosperity is lifted for all. particularly the middle class. liz: let's not forget at that reagan was irish and handsome, too. >> the evidence is there in the chart, but i will say this in response to steve, that, of course, you were cutting from a much higher level of taxation than we have today and even as we consider it high taxation at 39% for an individual. people would say, my god

something last night that i would urge everyone here to please consider doing that just to watch john f. kennedy's inaugural address. his point was the sense of freedom and liberty came not from the government promoting them around the world but from our religious faith and belief. that was a common thread. i remember the pride i have in saying the pledge of allegiance, the pride i had in watching space launches and this was a unique experiment in democracy but could never be replicated. sure we can blame president obama or president of trump or george w. bush, you can blame lots of people but the societal challenges we face are huge and obvious. one of my teachers, colleagues, friends and even employers because of daniel patrick moynihan wrote about the crisis of the black family and now it's not the black family, now it's just a family. i think you can recognize as you look around kids who come from families or singl single parente less than good outcomes than those that are from stable families and that number has dropped to a very small minori minority. this is an issue that crosses racial, ec

before that, john f. kennedy championed tax cuts that surged the economy and massively reduced unemployment. as president kennedy wisely said, the single most important fiscal weapon available to strengthen the national economy is the federal tax policy. the right kind of tax cut at the time,time, at the right and this is the right time, is the most effective measure this government could take to spare our economy forward.

we have gone all the way from teddy roosevelt's, to franklin roosevelt and then john f. kennedy'sln as transitional cars, to where they are built as an armored, standard, modified to stretch a little bit but this is a car built from the ground up as an armored vehicle, designed to provide maximum protection to the president. you have armed waiting behind the doors, bulletproof glass, and the vehicles can still drive a way to save the punctured. -- to safety if punctured. this car is most often associated with president reagan. theas shot in 1981 and survived. this is the car in which resident reagan was getting in after he made the speech to the union when he was shot. it is almost ironic. as he was getting into the car, or pushed into it by secret service, he was hit not by direct full it but one that ricocheted off of one of the armored panels on the car. it was a perfect shot, for lack of a perfect term, it went through his body, so if it had moved a fraction of an inch one way or the other, he may not have been hit at all. he was sped off to the hospital and made a recovery. t
