i'd like john kennedy. a lot of problems with the things he did. but one wonderful thing about john kennedy was the rhetoric he brought to the country, the inspiration he brought to people to move them to put their lives in the direction of the ark of justice. barack obama did a wonderful job of that during the campaign and then just stopped on day one of his presidency and get involved in the legislative debates over which will was going to be included with which bill. at think that was a terrible mistake. i don't see why he couldn't have done both. there is no reason that obama could not have done both as well. beginning in tucson he started. that brought tears to our eyes in denver and other places. it's back, and it would be a terrible mistake for him to return. >> i'll make them short. could you talk about your thinking about the title of your book? the second one, but you saying that they should not have shown michele bachman at all or they should have had analysis or framed it in some way? i think, you know, it might be curious to show it. >

and thousands of speeches given so one of the top 20 speeches, one of them on the list was the john kennedy inaugural stands three. these are the speeches delivered within 65 hours of one another and the confluence of the greatest inaugural of the 20th century and perhaps the greatest for wilderness ever given an american president draws attention to the significance of the transition, and with the transition was of course with of the wartime leadership is yielding the range of power to the junior officers of world war ii and there is a generational shift that happens. the other thing significant about it is it occurs in the wake of perhaps the closest election of the 20th century, and it is an election that produced a 50/50 split, and i think the dignity of the two statements of the kennedy inaugural and the eisenhower farewell, the quality of the expression in the two speeches are worthy of a space transition. we were able to overcome a great divide in that period and find a way forward during the transition and the was a very successful transition. there's also the most cultured speech b

on that list, the john kennedy inaugural stands three. these are two speeches delivered within 65 hours of one another. the confluence of the greatest inaugural of the 20th century and perhaps the greatest farewell address ever given by an american president draws attention to the significance of this transition. what the transition was the personal wartime leadership yielding the reins of power, there's a generational shift that happens in 1961. the other thing that is significant that occurs in the wake of perhaps the closest election of the 20th century. and it is an election that produced a 50/50 split and i think the dignity of these two statements, the kennedy inaugural and eisenhower farewell, the quality of the expression in these two speeches are worthy of a democratic transition. we were able to overcome a great divide in that period and find a way forward during that transition. a very successful transition. and is a nostalgic speech because of the pre-eminence of the united states that the eisenhower farewell address presumes.

this week if you watch it hbo have the opportunity to see john kennedy inaugural address as well as a member of press conferences that he gave. i wrote a book about kennedy there were a lot of problems but one wonderful thing about kennedy was the rhetoric he brought to the country and that inspiration to move people to put their lives in the direction of the ark of justice. barack obama did a wonderful job of that then just topped monday never won and got involved over which ruled was included and that is a terrible mistake. ronald reagan did both and there is no reason obama could not have done both as well. and in tucson the one that brought tears to our eyes is back. that would be terrible to return to that style. >> talk about the title of your book and ask if should they not show michele bock meant at all or do they have analysis? >> i don't have a problem with reporting on michelle botwin and -- michele bock men and look at this nincompoop. this visit they are questioning heard to say slavery ending with the constitution anybody ever mentioned the civil war? but to show it as i

if you had told that to john kennedy i think he would be surprised. he would be celebrating the fall of the soviet union right there with me. i am astonished. i am extremely pleased that liberals are celebrating the wisdom and intelligence of ronald reagan. but who would have believed they would be trying to tell us that he is not a conservative? in my case from 1968 when he first ran for president to 1976 when he ran again and in 1980 and throughout the 80s, defending him from claims that he was an amiable dunce and claims that he was a war hawk that was going to blow up the world. those claims were made in the new york times and washington post and major news outlets. we successfully defended against that and now we find today coming out of the blue these liberals are saying to us that he was a stealth liberal all the time and was on their side. i give up once in a while. >> host: how would mr. r. emmett tyrrell defined a conservative movement, which is pandit and the principles and goals. >> i lift from the great british philosopher, conservatism i

the aftermath of watergate, we were in the aftermath of the assassination of bobby kennedy and john kennedy. and also martin luther king jr. and we were in the aftermath of the church investigating committee in the u.s. senate that showed that the cia particularly under kennedys had committed serious crimes, even of assassination. so there was a disillusionment on the part of the american people with washington. and that was the main thing that i emphasized. i told them i would never lie to them and so forth, and i emphasized the fact that i was from the deep south. i had been out of politics and all of my predecessors had, that i was a peanut farmer and can that sort of thing. so it was because of those volunteers in texas and other places that i never had before that never had been in politics before that i was finally elected. as a matter of fact, amazingly still to me, i ran against one of the best men i've ever known in texas, and that was lloyd benson. i beat lloyd benson 2-1 in texas. which was amazing even now to me. but i had kind of a groundswell of support among people who had no

it is only a few weeks later the president john kennedy announced his support for the most overreachingvil rights legislation since reconstruction and in a speech on june 11, he gave the most far-reaching statement of support for the civil rights movement as a moral cause, as an american cause. there had never been a speech as pro-civil rights in american history by a president. now, jerome smith was speaking intelligently. he was getting to the heart of the matter, which is that segregation in all ecosystems in fact depend on the consent of the people. it may not be the? coated for segregation. they didn't. they actually did vote for anything most of them. it may not be even that a lot of white voted for segregation. half the country was aloof of the whole civil rights. but going along with a system that allows it to happen they have toxic lead to it. which are smith was telling robert kennedy was i am withdrawing my consent. and this is very much along with the teachings of the hairdressing. then they tell you about somebody else who acted with intelligence. there is a young girl name

i've oftentimes said that two of the truly great presidents that we've had -- john kennedy and ronald reagan -- both had something in common. they were from different parties but, first, they could stand before a group of people and make a speech about a subject they didn't agree with and by the time they finished, they got a standing ovation. they were great communicators. second, they were committed to a safe and prosperous america. they were hawks on defense. they confronted our enemies straight up, like president kennedy did with khrushchev and like president reagan did. and third, most importantly, they reduced taxes and brought prosperity to the economy of the united states. the second occasion that i met praying reagan was an interesting occasion. it was in the omni coliseum in atlanta where professional basketball was played at the time. seated 16,000 people. i was the majority leader of the georgia house of representatives. i was the emcee. the keynote was a speech from ronald reagan. he flew from washington to at than to make that speech and then went on to confront gorbache
