johnson herself about how she felt about becoming first lady after the assassination of john f. kennedy and she said people look at the living and wish for dead. you just can't imagine really the personal pain, of course, that that exhibited that the whole country was feeling this grief and now here were the johnsons front and center and did take over leadership of the country in such a traumatic time and feeling that awesome burden and challenge to comfort the nation and to help mrs. kennedy through it all, which of course they were incredibly gracious, as we know and told her she could live and stay in the white house as long as she needs to, to get her children packed up and moved out and to move on with her life. but mrs. johnson, working with laura bush for years, she would say honestly in addition to her mother-in-law, of course, lady bird johnson was her favorite first lady and she learned so much from her, from watching her and being a texas woman herself and sort of the graciousness of mrs. kennedy, how she -- or -- also mrs. kennedy, but mrs. johnson as he presided over the wh

you can imagine what they would think -- >> john f. kennedy would not represent this party.o let me ask you this. we have three senate republicans that are watching closely. there were signs that they might be moving the bar on the temperament. well, he didn't tell us exactly how much beer he drank. he threw ice in an incident at a bar when he was at yale. i used to be a bartender and that is probably the least significant thing that i saw when i was 17, 18, 19 and 20 tending bar. >> every single one of the senators on the judiciary committee need to read their job description. they are turning the constitution on its head. senator murkowski better be taking notes because she is an attorney. and she should understand that brett kavanaugh walked in there guilty and she should understand that the court of public opinion could destroy anyone sometimes more than a criminal conviction can. we are watching this play out in real time about a man coming out here to prove his innocence. >> sean: do any of the senators have families and worried that one day, as cory booker says, that'

i don't think it is unique for the american history, fdr and ben bradley and john f. kennedy.s no doubt that it is a big part of our media age. they're inseparable at this point. >> i think what's unique is the 2007 propaganda aspect of it. there are certain hosts on fox that do not tell a lie but so many of them do supporting the president's agenda or avoiding the bad news. pretending the bad news is not there and ignoring all the lies and scandal and just talking about the evil democrats instead. that repetition is incredibly powerful and i don't think obama or bush or clinton or anybody had that kind of constant re-enforcement. it makes you wonder what would president trump do if he did not have those defenders on fox all the time. the president praises fox news personality on twitter and publicly. i want you to listen on what he said in a rally just last week. >>> t >> the dems, who says that? the great lou dobs, he says that. sean hannity says that, the dems. janine says that, does she? laura, how good has laura been, right? we got a lot of good people. do we like tucker?

he lost badly in the general election to johnson, who probably is going to win anyway because john f. kennedy had been assassinated and weren't going to change presidents twice that quickly, but goldwater planted the flag, and ironically in defeat he asked ronald reagan to make a nationwide speech in october of '64. so in a way the conservative flag was passed from barry to ronnie at that moment. reagan's speech was electrifying and he went onto become governor of california, and i would argue there's a continuum that starts with goldwater, goes to reagan that in many ways nixon and all the traditional republicans are place holders. just as later on the bushes would be place holders, because they don't actually understand the long-term trajectory of conservatism. reagan comes along, oddly becomes a very consequential president in three ways, defeating the soviet empire, an enormous achievement. one of the greatest strategic victories because he did it without a war. getting people to feel good about being entrepreneurs and focused on american civic culture. in his farewell address, he said on

she was disgusted that this is no longer the party of john f. kennedy: again, we have a situation where america and a midterm cycle, usually you see the party in power lose seats. they have been a few occasions in which i did not happen. >> didn't happen 1934, it didn't happen 1998, didn't happen in 2002. i think this year we're going to gain seats in the senate for sure. i think the way that things are developing right now because of kavanaugh. because people are disgusted with the democratic party. there are little frightened by it. i think we might actually shock them. >> laura: on one their undercover videos, this involved claire mccaskill and a staffer talking about whether she is really open-minded on certain issues. let's watch. >> you think she is more progressive than she lets on. >> open-minded to alternative routes. she can't be open about that. she will completely isolate the moderate republicans. >> it's like have to lie to get elected. >> essentially. >> they do have to lie to get elected, that is why he is lying in tennessee, that is why

why would you want to show a sophisticated john f. kennedy in this situation as a barefoot boy?ess elite. prof. lubin: it takes him away from the elite persona that will not get him elected and makes them an american boy. a tom sawyer. the association of barefoot being pure, authentic, connected to the earth. that same notion of honesty, boyishmeness. that is what kennedy was famous for, boyishness. people loved that. people adore that about him. i would say, the photographer took this -- he was known as a sports photographer -- whether he knew this painting by homer or not, he is referencing the same world. another 1876 painting of an older guy, it is hard to see his face because the rim of his hat is a backlit. the brim of the hat is covering his face. he is a big, full beard and he is pointing to a young woodsman wearing a bright red shirt carrying and acts. they are standing on a mountain slope. he is tracking down trees. cole say aboutas this? he would have been displeased at the idea of a traipsing into the wilderness to chop it down. this seems to be an image of incipient

john f. kennedy. general ford. frankl franklin roosevelt. we're lucky.e that kind of leadership in the white house. we have each other. let's not forget that. >> thank you for that. with one minute to go, you and i were sitting here for special coverage saturday night. and you said that anti st-semit is like a canary in a mine shift. what did you mean? >> whenever our country falls into these terrible moments of toxicity, anti-semitism is on the rise. whether 1930, 1940, when the country was debating whether to enter into world war ii, anti-semitism was on the rise. during the mccarthyite period, anti-semitism was on the rise. in vietnam, there was anti-semitism. and we see it again. unfortunately, it's a sign of the sickness throughout our country. so everybody who is against hatred, everyone who is against those values that are clearly against those anti-american values espoused by haters, they have to see what happened in pittsburgh as an attack on all of us. >> yes. we all have to speak up as a result of it. tim, thank you very much. appreciate you.

we are a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil rights organization founded 55 years ago by president john f. kennedy, who issued a call for action for lawyers to engage in the civil rights fight. that is what we've been doing and continue to do. one of the main things we've been doing is mounting voting rights litigation across the country, protecting the rights of tens of thousands of people -- aren't impacted today and this problem is exacerbated we sadly have a justice department today that has not brought a single case to enforce the voting rights act, and it is exacerbated by folks random, isolated examples of those frauds to create a false sense of hysteria carrying outre out impersonation frauds. you have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than seeing some of what mr. fund is talking about. but what we see in our cases, where we engage experts who look at real data and look at systematic patterns across the state, is that in places like georgia, there were tens of thousands of people who did not have their voter registration secretary ofed by because of hisp, discriminatory exact m

john f. kennedy had maze himself by his quick wittedness and the gutsy decision the man to beat.make decisions. who act before events make them do it, who act in a way that leads the way. it's how we spot leaders. the united states ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley strikes me much the same way. when the the uproar arose over the confederate flag, the south carolina governor said to take it down. she got two state senators to go along with her. she act and made the call. someone said she'd been confused about an issue. her answer came back rapidly and powerfully. i don't get confused. she didn't let the dust settle. she sent it flying. well, today ambassador haley declared her intention to leave her post at year's end. i don't know why, but i do know in, she is proactively getting out ahead of something. it's the mark of her political behavior, not waiting for others or events to take control, but grabbing the reins herself, steering events her way. it's a stirring thing to watch. we've seen a bit of it before from people who turn out to be our leaders. that's hardball for now. t

robert kennedy who was chosen as a very young attorney general against a lot of controversy, when john f. kennedy took his brother in. yep. >> okay, thank you. thanks for coming in today. >> absolutely. >>> san jose police are continuing to search for a suspect, proving hard to find and even harder to hold onto once he is caught. >> police took andrew trujillo into custody in san jose this morning for allegedly stealing a truck. but somehow, he was able to slip his handcuffs, steel the police cruiser he was being held in, and drive to hayward. that's where police found that car abandoned 23 miles away. >> ktvu's southbay reporter jesse gary joins us live from san jose police headquarters with more on a man who clearly has a knack for getting out of tight spaces. jesse? >> reporter: guys, good afternoon to you. san jose police spent the better part of today searching the mt eden section of hayward, but to no avail. the suspect is still on the loose and they are still looking for him. they are also looking into their own policies and procedures that may have inadvertently contributed to his ability

ford, harry truman, lyndon mckinley and theodore roosevelt, they share family stories at the john f. kennedy center in washington. you can see that here on c-span3. >>> this weekend on american history tv on c-span3, saturday at 8:00 p.m. eastern on lectures and history. indiana university bloomington professor stephen andrews on conspiracy theory and how conspiracy theories have changed over time. >> stay problem in america that people have connections with yale, and is it a problem they meet with bohemian grove? is it a problem they meet there and are chatting? maybe, maybe not. is it a problem they put on roe robes and have a ceremony where they burn an owl in a ceremony called the communication of care? it's weirder, right? >>> and sunday at 4:30 p.m., former senator tom harkin of iowa discusses the impacts of laws that have impacted americans with disabilities. >> one decision in 1999 called olmsted voc. it was a georgia case. again, it was two women who were put in an institution and they had argued that they didn't want to be there, that they should be free to live on their own out in

scenes like sailing with john f. kennedy, what that must have been like. your friendship with ted kennedy. what that must have been like. the way you blanched the first time you were introduced as the senior senator from massachusetts after his death from cancer. and just the drudgery, the work, the airplane flights of being secretary of state. interrupted by minor and major tragedies. the loss of a young state department aide in afghanistan. it's merely two paragraphs of the book. but as you note, some family had just been shattered and you were on the phone with the next of kin. that is all by way of asking you to explain this title. "every day is extra." >> well, the title, brian, is a reflection of an attitude and a saying that a lot of my friends and particularly my crew and others came back with from vietnam. we were the lucky ones. and believe me, it was luck. there were countless bullet holes in the boat. there were any number of occasions when anybody could have been killed. and those who came back weren't. and i think it's a reflection of the sen

president kennedy is not known for farm policy but he shouldn't be because under john f. kennedy there was a remarkable attempt centered in the usda, liberal economist in the usda, decided to present congress and this is something the white house was behind, a program that would have guaranteed farmers high prices in return for actually reducing output. p -- basically to make the new deal worked as it was supposed to work farmers never really reduced. the kennedy administration and the u.s. liberal usda said if you really reduce your output, we will guarantee you really high prices. they wanted to present farmers with a clear choice. they believe that requiring farmers to accept market prices even though the result would be very efficient, it is going to leave them vulnerable to an appropriations process that could not be trusted to deliver welfare payments. given sort of the unique economic qualities of the agricultural sector, individual farmers had no leverage, and the broader market, and consumer demand, and the elasticity, meant they will always be vertebral. there wasn't th

and here's how john f. kennedy described it in his profiles in courage.ed retirement from the most exclusive club in the world, the possibilities of giving up the interesting work, the fascinating trappings, and the impressive prerogatives of congressional office can cause even the most courageous politician serious loss of sleep. how can you not be impressed right now that senator heidi hydecamp of north dakota declared today she will vote against brett kavanaugh. and senator donnelly of indiana. wouldn't it be wonderful if three other senators would do the same, joe manchin, senator flake. he's shown himself to be a man of conscience by rejecting the behavior of the president and insisting that the fbi be given some time to look at the accusations against kavanaugh. the united states senator does not protect its constitutional role of the senate as a whole by bowing to the executive. the u.s. senator who votes for this nomination must believe that what we see or she sees in it is worthy of a lifetime trust. the duty to decide now is up to the soul and g

be that it was the most dangerous moment for an american president since the assassination of john f. kennedyday of the demonstrators "it is time to squeeze that kind of garbage out of our society." >> "it is time to squeeze that kind of garbage out of our society." who squeezes garbage? nixon's vice president was spiro agnew. he's long dead now and even longer forgotten, but now that we're having another first election after a new president was sworn in and the president is trying to make this election about the fear of leftist mobs and also hatred of the news media, sometimes it's tempting to think that reincarnation might be real. >> spiro agnew chose alabama, george wallace country, for his latest assault on the news media. it was the newsom people said would help republican fortunes, not only in alabama but throughout the state, where demonstrators for civil rights and peace and the so-called eastern press have never been popular. the nixon administration has denied that it's pursuing a southern strategy to build a power base in the south. the republicans know that one reason why the ele
