it's much more than john f. kennedy, in the midst of the world the profound courage and that david donnell. at that time johnson is considered a good president. yet for the american heritage, he wrote an essay called why impeach andrew johnson. throughout the details of the aptitude is destroyed any chance of bringing the nation together in a way that done justice to the defeated south and the african-americans. sure of rectitude johnson was in different to prudent. you never learned the president of the united states couldn't afford to be a corollary. in tennessee, orchards exchange personalities, crude humor and bitter denunciation and johnson decided to continue make white speech -- white house speeches. you can see why, for a little from this introduction, never learned that the president of the united states must function as the party leader. while making up his mind johnson appears highly receptive to ideas. we made a decision, his mind would close and he defended his course with all the obscenity of a weasel. is

in the summer of 1962, president john f. kennedy began planning to get american troops out of vietnam. drafts for such planning were produced in early 1963, were debated and refined, into may and june, then presented to kennedy in fall of 1963. on october 2, president kennedy was presented with plans to get virtually all united states combat troops, not combat troops necessarily at that time, they were military advisors, but u.s. soldiers out of vietnam by the end of 1965. in an effort to kickstart that process, 1000 advisors were to be withdrawn by the end of 1963. we know about this because of the pentagon papers, which has a lengthy section on this withdrawal. but we also know about it in much greater color and texture because of the kennedy white house tapes. so what i would like to do for you now is play a combination of tapes, tapes we spliced together from meetings that took place on october 2, 1963, one of them a morning session, relatively small between kennedy and senior national security advisors, and then an evening nati

and john f. kennedy run the kennedy room. my thesis is that these were for trailed as part of the misrule. although political factors inevitably influence impeachment under the misdemeanor, only there's been a legal trance aggression. because many of you know the reschedules of senator with personal principle patriotism and bylaw over partisan politics. this one chapter on johnson's impeachment which as most of you know failed by conviction by one vote. these are the illustrations that kennedy has for this chapter. here's the ticket to the impeachment trial. last at most two months. here's the cartoon of the senate chambers. he was the can the senator who sacrificed the political career when previously undecided he delivered the decision. filling his sworn duty to follow the law of political pressure. to keep the presidency from becoming subservient to the legislative will. in doing so they perform what one historian called the most heroic act in american history more difficult than any deed upon the field. in fact it was so

john f. kennedy space center in florida to talk with the space center director about his experience on the first mission to land men on the moon. nasa tv hosted this event exactly 50 years after apollo 11 launched on july 16th, 1969. >> good morning, i'm out here at the pad, 39 a with command module pilot mike collins. mike it was 50 years ago this morning that you and neil and buzz headed out to launch to be the first humans to set foot on the surface of the moon. what thoughts were going through your mind on the way to the launch pad. >> you know, as i came out on the launch pad today. >> can you hold the mic up. >> yes. as i calm out today and settled into this comfortable chair, it was a wonderful feeling to be back at launch pad 39 a. but a difference this time. i want to turn and ask neil a question and maybe tell buzz aldrin something. and of course i'm here by myself. but at any rate, i know they would enjoy joining into this sort of a conversation as much as i'm looking forward to it. >> so

often we think of john f. kennedy or ronald reagan as ushering in the television presidency, but, in fact, it was dwight eisenhower. i can't nest the power of television to win the presidency and to put forward his vision of america and the world and this is what we are going to look at today. dwight eisenhower brought several important developments to the modern american presidency, through his leadership style and organizational approach. doing this, he built on a lot of the transformations we already looked at this semester. for example, franklin roosevelt launched the executive office of the presidency and last week we looked at how harry truman extended it. with the national security state. dwight eisenhower formalized it. he ran his office very much like he did the military. the bureaucracy became very entrenched and well executed in the american presidency under eisenhower. for example, he had weekly cabinet meetings and form the office of congressional liaison so that he could have a formal link to the legisla

the founder of the space policy institution george washington university and wrote the book "john f. kennedy and the race to the moon." what was the driver of president kennedy? guest: competition. the soviet union had defined its space success as an indication of the superiority of the communist way of life. it is hard to re-create in 2019 to zero cold war competition of the late 50's, early 1960's, but it was real to kennedy, and the idea space was a measure of national vitality and the u.s. was behind was not acceptable to in, so after the launch april 1960 one, he asked his advisors, and i'm quoting from a memo, find a space program which promises dramatic results in which we could win. the answer came back, let's go to the moon. host: that was from the scientists from nasa, basically saying when he made the pitch to congress, how was it received? he -- may of 1961 before when he went before joint session, he said i believe we should go to the moon before this decade is out. the reaction was positive. kennedy proposed a budget increase and it was passed with very few opposing votes in th

john f kennedy gave us the apollo express, and that was a wonderful, a masterpiece of understatement, of succinct instruction. what kennedy said helped us so much in our preparation for the first lunar landing. i cannot emphasize too much. wherever we went, we would use kennedy's name. you guys got to get busy here. you're lagging behind. you've got to do this and that and the other. kennedy said at the end of the decade. i like to transfer that spirit from where we are to where we might go, and i would propose going direct to mars under what i would call the jfk mars express. having said that, i grant people who want to go back to the moon, i grant it, they have a great deal of merit to their argument, and neil armstrong who i consider to be a lot better engineer than i, thought that there were gaps in our knowledge, and that it would -- we could fill up for fill the spots by a return to the moon, and that that would assist us mightily in our attempt to go to mars. >> and we believe the faster we get to the moon, the faster we get to mars as we develop the systems to make it happen.

[ applause ] >>> tank you, what i'm going to do here is give about 25 minutes so i hope we have time for question-and-answer but i want you to know, reconstruction stayed alive in the popular memory, largely through its portrayal in popular media. and i want to look at the politics of portrayals of andrew johnson's impeachment. and my primary work is going to be thomas dixon's klansman, the film tennessee johnson and john f. kennedy's profiles in courage, my thesis is that these works portrayal of reconstruction as part of the mid-rul

in 1958, john f. kennedyout at the american people and said, we should not seek the republican answer. we should not seek the democratic answer. we should seek the right answer. and he was right then, and he is right today. [applause] he is right today. [applause] this is the calling of the democratic party. to become the party that the american people are so desperately looking for. a party that conducts itself with honor and dignity. and works for hard-working americans. and get things that done that matter in their lives. and leads not only here but around the world, by getting back in a things like the trans-pacific partnership that president obama was right about. every acre in iowa would be worth more if we were in that agreement. that is how we beat trump in iowa.
