jim: and john kennedy knew that. he went to a summit in vienna in june with khrushchev and khrushchev just ate his lunch. and kennedy, afterwards, said, he thinks i'm stupid and weak because of what happened at the bay of pigs. and certainly you can make a connection, then, to khrushchev making this move to put up the berlin wall. although in some ways the berlin wall diffused the situation in berlin, but that's a rather complicated story. but certainly -- >> but it triggered the wall being built? jim: it did trigger it. >> and the same thing happened in asia. jim: that's true. it was certainly -- kennedy certainly was very wear of that when he went to the summit with khrushchev. the repercussions of the bay of pigs just kept going. all through -- they really didn't end for kennedy until the cuban missile crisis, but, you know, a lot of things, vietnam war, in many ways, started on april 20, the day after the bay of pigs. john kennedy, needing a victory against the communists, ordered a task force in the pentagon to l

john kennedy got what he wished for. of ecame the 35th president the united states and no sooner did he enter offers than he was under this plan developed the eisenhower administration. kennedy did know something about it by the time he got into office. he had been detailed after he won the election. so he knew something but still as quite a shock to discover, first of all, how big secondly ion was, and that he had to deal with it immediately. the c.i.a. told him that the to get a largeut arm shipment from the soviets mig fighter jets which would make it more difficult to get rid of castro in the future. this was true. from day one the pressure was on kennedy to decide what he wanted to do and to decide quickly. it's fair to say that john kennedy was not thrilled by the plan..'s his main concern was the involvement of the united states be not be hidden enough, and if were not, it could very well rovoke castro's new friend, soviet union, to take retaliatory action most likely that t berlin, a city khrushchev had been threa

what i find so interesting is that win john kennedy, recent poll asked people to assess the last nine presidents from kennedy to george w. bush. kennedy came out on top with 85%. during this recent memory of his assassination, the commemoration. 90% approval rating. the only one close to him was ronald reagan and the question any historian has to ask is why is this the case after all? he was there only a thousand days the seventh briefest presidency in american history. and the answer i think is that on the one hand, people don't much like his successyears. johnson with vietnam, nixon with watergate. ford's truncated presidency. jimmy carter's presidency which people see as essentially failure. the only one is reagan the two bushes don't register that powerful by. c-span: what about bill clinton. >> yes, but he that the monica affair torches president to have been impeached. a black mark against his record. kennedy, of course, dying so young at the age of 46, having only been there for a thousand days, it's a blank slate on which you can write anything, and he was so young, and the co

john kennedy continued to increase the number of advisors. he increased military aid to south vietnam. we learned in a prior class that kennedy would not have had the united states remain in the vietnam. in fact, he had specific plans for a withdrawal of the advisors. after john kennedy's assassination, lyndon johnson rescinded the jfk order of withdraw. in the case of kennedy, johnson was concerned about the upcoming election to guide his options in vietnam. even after winning the election of 1964, lyndon b. johnson was not clear about what to do with what he called the little shit country in asia. the tapes and documents of the time indicate he knew he could not win in vietnam. he nonetheless chose war. when nixon was elected in 1968, he ordered the strong-armed technique of massive bombing, to bring the north vietnamese to the peace table. from the statistics we reviewed in class, we learned the bombing became unconscionable, particularly when nixon admitted in what was dubbed the zilch memo that the bombing had no effect in the conduct of

doug: it is really about how john f. kennedyut all of his political chips on this idea of going to the moon. in 1961, john kennedy gave an afternoon joint speech to the joint session of congress, and pledged that the united states would go to the moon by the end of the decade, and it became a great bipartisan effort. enters ourmoonshot vocabulary. but we did it to beat the russians, and jack kennedy always said american had to be first, that the new frontier was one of outerspace. he would call it the new ocean. and that we had to win. he became an incredible salesman as president. so i traced early jack kennedy's evolution on aviation as it matures into the space-age, but also on the birth of it is a global story about american supremacy in the aerospace field. brian: i want you to look at a still photograph. if you walk into the aerospace museum, you will see this display. you have same as on top below the lunar module. when you look at that, what do you think? doug: i think, give the curator of the museum a big raise, because

that of course was president john kennedy. around that type of thing, there grew a belief that something dramatic had to be done to spark up the actions that were already underway in the congress to try to get certain kinds of legislation passed. it was philip randolph, one of the elder statesmen among the blacks, martin luther king, roy wilkins, and others, from the religious community, from labor, and other places who got together and hit upon the idea of having what was called a march to washington. >> in 1963, the naacp helped organize and staff history's largest protest against inequality. a quarter million people, black and white, came to washington to tell the american covers that it must pass laws prohibiting discrimination against blacks. >> we felt that it was going to be a flop. and we were afraid that it was going to be, you know how people are, and they -- but we went ahead, and came out, we came out about noon, and the people were flocking down there. >> the march on washington went far beyond everyone's hopes. a

clinton, obama, john kennedy, jimmy carter. 45, 50 years old. they combine both being young, forward looking, new frontier, all that kind of thing, with being pretty moderate. and it seems to me, who noefs, maybe biden -- i like joe biden personally, respect him, but it feels to be more of a younger, forward-looking democrat who could also reach out, though, to independents and republicans, and might be a better shot against the era of trump. it just doesn't feel like people would want to go back to someone who -- >> certainly seems to be -- >> joe biden came to the senate in 1973. >> yeah, that's a long time. as someone pointed out this week, a career in public life longer than john kennedy was on the earth for. i want to ask you about this letter, rod rosenstein, his farewell. it ends with two words, i've just circled, america first. thankfully, but we've read enough history books to know that when lindbergh and his pals used that phrase, it put fear in the hearts of at least one american generation, the phrase is tossed around now regularly.

my favorite president's harry truman, but i called to bring up john f. kennedy. it seems to me that kennedy is always judged differently from other people. judged differently about his sexual habits. i guess he would come close to the bottom today on moral authority, although when he was president everybody thought that he was a model family man. this keeps coming up in different issues. kennedy was certainly part of the beginning of the vietnam or. some people like to say that he butd have fit with -- nobody knows that. recently when people were talking about how awful it was that attorney general barr might be an advocate for the president , well john f. kennedy nominated his own brother, his former campaign manager. yet people don't judge him harshly about those things the way they do other presidents. doing my question is -- people stay on the top 10 -- will he stay on the top 10 or move down in the future? guest: kennedy, it's high where he's at right now, but it's for reasons. i just finished writing about nasa going to the moon. we had the 50th anniversary

i like john kennedy. but i can tell you, i don't think bob barr's word on these kinds of issues is acceptable when the american people want the real report. >> so i want to drill down a bit on something manu just said. mueller's team -- and a lot of people may not be aware. but according to the "new york times" mueller's team was ready. this is the 400 panls. and by the way, bill barr, here are multiple summaries of the report, giving him options. according to the "new york times." obviously with he know bill barr did not use any of thimm. he didn't work with the mueller team to edit any of those summaries. he didn't do that. he wrote his own. again, senator, his reason in part today, given the extraordinary public interest in the matter, the attorney general decided to release the report's bottom line findings and his conclusions immediately without attempting to summarize the report. i've made it clear where we stand on that be -- with the understanding the report it seven would be released after the re

kennedys. jackie and john. everybody else was irrelevant. her, who was a republican -- don't tell anyone -- became a democrat when kennedy ran for office, but he still had a certain admiration for nixon. he felt he was a great president for watergate and he never changed it he certainly did have a kind of feeling for nixon. i think mixing to be more interesting than kennedy because nixon was flawed. your book really spells that out .and comes out loud and clear as a man who was in secure and who probably would have liked to have done the right thing but couldn't because of his background or whatever. but i think that we can identify more with nixon in terms of why then we can with kennedy who was supposedly perfect and we now know he was not. >> i want to make sure that you all know the 44 chapters and this is a different author and historian writing each one, plus we have a website set up for those like me reading the book interviewing authors constantly being told things we have absolutely no idea about and send me to the research to the pr

joining us now is republican senator john kennedy, he serves on the judiciary committee. >> good morningu that some of robert mueller's investigators believe that attorney general barr somehow mischaracterized their findings? >> i read "the new york times" article, it's very hard to evaluate because the investigators won't give their names, so, you know, you don't -- you don't -- you can't judge their credibility, you don't know if they have an agenda. i think this time next week in all likelihood it will be an academic question because i think -- i don't have any inside information, but i think bill barr is going to release the report sometime next week, the week after at the latest. he said mid-april and bill barr is a pretty straight shooter. >> yeah. >> we will all get to judge for ourselves. >> i think that what is significant, one of the things that's significant this morning is that there really were not leaks during the two leaks of the mueller investigation. so are you saying that you don't know that you believe that the mueller team is credible? >> well, there were leaks. i mea

of thought they were on-roll back- able but every president from really about definitely from john kennedy or you could say even earlier than that, had to at least fake a sense of humor. and sometimes it meant laughing at the joke people told about you. sometimes it would be telling jokes yourself. and so presidents would sort of do this sort of thing and i assumed, it sort of seems, it seems logical that a few want to get the support of people, to try to do stuff that will make you likable. and make you popular. and every president did. and presidents very often, barack obama for example, and often it plays into this stereotype however false the stereotype might be. and in one of his last speeches before the national correspondence, where presidents for a long time they would give there, sort of their johnny carson, jay leno monologue sort of thing. and obama in this case, he showed before and after picture of him. so here he is, as president and he's got a lot of gray hair. and here he is before he becomes president. and he says, oh, yeah, those days when i was a strapping young muslim s
