barbara perry, 60 years from that first debate between president richard nixon and senator john kennedy and if there is one thing you hear about the legacy of that debate, it is that those who are watching on tv thought kennedy won, and those listening on the radio thought nixon won. is that actually true? >> no, it is a myth but it is long-standing. it is partially true. the moderator was sitting behind the candidates, so he really could not see how they were looking on camera, he was just listening to what they were saying. he said after that, he thought that nixon had won and when he watched the rerun of the debate, he actually thought kennedy had won. the reason that popped up with there had been a survey done by marketing firms of people who had listened on radio. they had said they thought nixon had won it. i asked the viewers, you can watch and listen and then vice versa. if nothing else, just the difference in the voices, the difference in the accents. most people think kennedy emerged the winner. he just looked pretty bad in pretty nervous. >> 60 years this weekend since that f

where michael j fox says to his family that he had gone back to thatars before and says, is on john f. kennedy boulevard, isn't it? who thefather says, hell is john f. kennedy? host: this morning joined by barbara perry on c-span and c-span3's american history tv, as we welcome back 60 years to those televised debates. democrats, 202, 748 -- this is joy, alexander's city, alabama, republican. good morning. caller: good morning. forusband called me a nerd watching this on sunday morning before church, but my question history behind the two candidates, given they both had things in their past. kennedy hadgry and personal indiscretions, if you will, and all of that. if those two candidates were to run today, how do you think they would fair given social media -- given social media, given that news a split-second every time you turn? host: no nerds here, or maybe we are probably all nerds. guest: how dare joyce's husband say that? i think of us as historians. wonderful question, because it seems like we have come in some ways full-circle. that is, if you think about people knowing about kennedy's,

it was framed and put to john kennedy that his opponent had john kennedy was too young and inexperienced to be our president. we saw the ronald reagan age question. there are other moments i can think of for example, in the vice president to debate, that question was framed around his poor academic record. the question of candidates' fitness for office. are they too young, too old, are they capable of handling the office, that has been one of the most common types of questions put to our presidential candidates in debate. are they qualified to hold this office? as your caller raise, if the age issue resurrects itself in the debate in this series. host: let's hear from dallas, texas. sherry is a supporter of joe biden. caller: yes. can you hear me? host: you are on, go ahead. caller: i am definitely going for biden and harris because i trust them. trump, i do not trust at all. he lied about the coronavirus. in cahootsut being with russia. he lied about his taxes. we still don't know all the information behind his taxes. trump is not care about anybody but himself. -- does not care about a

article reminded me -- it should have been written before john kennedy.he made an awful remark to the judge. >> let me repeat my question again, why are only two bishops within the church speaking out and will you make an effort to get the u.s. -- pres. trump: they will come out, this is day one, we have just started this. they are going to be coming out very strong. the catholic church is very well united on this. they are so thrilled that amy was chosen. it has been 24 hours, it is been a very short period of time. >> thank you for the briefing, you talked earlier about some of the subject joe biden has been refusing to answer questions on, ukraine, even china and obamagate -- pres. trump: and the press does not ask those questions. >> do you think joe biden will be able to answer those questions? pres. trump: we are going to find out, a lot of things will come up in the debate. that will be one, his son did not have a job. he had difficulties and suddenly he is making millions of dollars as soon as his father becomes vice president, i think that will c

kennedy always said i do not see my opponents as enemies, i see them as adversaries. host: this is john, waiting on the line for democrats. caller: along those same lines, senator kennedy had a dry run six months earlier when he debated senator humphrey as they were going for the nomination. and thanks to c-span i had an opportunity to watch that debate. i was blown away by how two thirds of all the rebuttals were simply, i agree with senator kennedy, or i agree with senator humphrey. they were not accusing each other of lying and so on. so my question is, how did that opportunity help kennedy prepare for the debates against nixon in the general election? ms. perry: that is exactly correct that there had been some short of the presidential candidates debating, we had some of that in the 1950's leading up to the 1960 presidential debate. so kennedy and senator humphrey had debated. so i think that helped. but more to the point for kennedy was that he loved to chat and debate informally. his family was famous for doing that at the dinner table. both of his parents promoted that. i have be

kennedy senior's plan for the presidency. those ambitions are transferred to john f. kennedy junior who up until this point never saw himself as a politician. saw himself as a writer, historian, journalist perhaps. not quite sure what he was going to be. a bit of a dreamer. but when joseph p. kennedy senior, old joe wants you to do something, his sons do it. and in 1946, he runs for congress. and by 1960, the ambition, which was not his for the presidency, is. he's ready to run. lyndon baines johnson belongs to a different sort of dynasty, a different sort of ambition. his family was a dynasty on the way down. his family owned land and slaves in texas and in the american south and his father, sam johnson, have been a member of the texas state legislature. but, he works his way down on a social and political scale. when in the legislature, sam johnson sponsors a bill to have a road constructed near their hometown. and by the time that road is to be constructed, sam johnson is not only a former member of the state legislature, he is working on the road crew doing manual

john kennedy was arguing the only way to boost the economy was to get them down.r of "jfk conservative" joins us now. with those differences, it is striking that tone in the take each man has on the role taxes would play in the economy. what do you think? >> that's right. kennedy ran for president arguing that raising taxes with high unemployment would be a huge mistake and saying that the way to create economic growth was through tax cuts. and biden is taking exactly the opposite view into this electi election. anna, you know, different in many other ways. john kennedy was youthful and vigorous and biden is really old. >> neil: it was interesting looking back at that. sadly, the tax cuts that he wanted it wouldn't be completed until his successor's administration, lyndon johnson's administration because of his assassination. they were enacted, and we did have, you know, you know, and economics. going on there. i'm wondering if that message, different times, different levels, different events is lost on a potential biden team. >> yeah, well, i mean, biden hasn't b

barbara perry, 60 years from that first debate between president richard nixon and senator john kennedy and if there is one thing you hear about the legacy of that debate, it is that those who are watching on tv thought kennedy won, and those listening on the radio thought nixon won. is that actually true?

said i've known john f. kennedy and you are no john kennedy that's about as harsh as it has gotten until tonight and this was really a spectacle americans tell pollsters time and time again that what they want is civility and they want substantive difference between the candidate this one was unlikely to change minds the monmouth poll found that 75 percent of likely voters were watching this debate and that only 3 percent expected that to change minds well i don't think that is likely to change much after the fact we'll see when the the polls post-debate come out but they're going to be a lot of people who are going to be upset at the kind of antipathy that we saw in that debate and that tends historically to drive voters away from the polls interestingly that's one of donald trump's goals he has been trying through the post office through. criticizing mail in ballots and other things like that to minimize the number of people who come out to the polls because he knows that his voters are committed and they're likel

republican member john kennedy of louisiana, good to see you. i want to read something from the washington post, they are talking about the strategy the vice president has for previously during the primaries we heard him talk about the fact the court packing would not be a great idea. now used inuring saying i don't want to answer the question because it changes the subject and that's what the president wants me to do. some on biden epstein have been aggravated by calls on the left to extend the court. biden advises are reluctant to get in missed in a fight that could alienate centrist voters rather than weighing in on such ideas, less polarizing issues, a tough question. do you think potential voters deserve to know whether this vice president and the man who wants to be president support court packing? >> yes and let me make two points, number one, senator schumer, is also talked about court packing has been telling anyone who will listen that we should not fill this vacancy because it is an election year. the constitutional provisions on fill

when john kennedy was assassinated, it is hard to reconstruct the context and our minds. it was so care wing for the american people. people like extremism. people blame the ideological politics that americans did not want to believe as part of their political system. barry goldwater and immediately lost interest. it was another month and a half before he answered the call of one more group of people coming to him and begging him saying it was his duty to support the pr republican cause. >> this book was the manifest of why he was running. the ideology that shaped him. in the piece of film which showed you, he talked about freedom and free enterprise and the failed socialist experiment that democrats were pushing in the 1960's. >> barry goldwater stood for one thing. he was very clear about it. that was freedom. that but today is just as relevant as it was when it was written 50 years ago. barry goldwater would say, circumstances change. principles do not. when he was getting ready to run for office, he said, as i survey the landscape at look at the questions that might o

susan: if fdr used radio to his advantage, john kennedy -- you write about television, he all but weaponizehe medium that help elect him. mr. holzer: he did. the big experiments that propelled him into using television that way were the nixon/kennedy presidential debates, which from the moment they began, gave an advantage to kennedy. not just because of what he said, but the way he said it and the way he looked. he used great makeup. nixon used that makeup. he was emaciated. those who watched on television believed kennedy had won by a wide margin. there was no polling, but that was consensus. hee he became president, used the same team of makeup artists and set designers who had collaborated on the background of the first triumphant political debate to design a place for him to hold press conferences. now, eisenhower had introduced the live press conferences, but he was clearly annoyed by doing it. he did it in the old executive office building, which was cavernous. he stood at a desk and said, "let's see if this works out." he fought with reporters. it was not successful, even though he

with them, whether it is the boston mafia of john f. kennedy, the georgia mafia of jimmy carter. loyalty is not new in the white house. >> but trump's brand of loyalty was new. >> the trump people said essentially, if we could ever find that you publicly posted something negative about the president, you are very unlikely to get a position. >> i have never heard of that kind of vetting of people for negative comments about the president in their past lives. >> his early hires were loyalists throughout the campaign and in the early months of the presidency. he did hire a few one-time opponents who have been loyal since. >> thank you, mr. president. >> including secretary of housings and urban development, ben carson. >> our president, donald j. trump, he makes promises and he keeps them. >> and secretary of energy, former governor rick perry. >> mr. president, i know there are people that say you said you

[crowd talking] >> in september 1916, senator john kennedy, an incumbent republican richard nixon squared off in the first televised residential debate. it took place in chicago. here is a preview. >> the first question is for senator kennedy. president's vice campaign said you are naive and at times amateur. what you think people should go for you rather than the vice president? highe vice president and came to congress together in 1946. there now for 14 years, the same about of time he has. our experience in government is comparable. i think the question is what are the programs we advocate? what is the party record? i have come out of the democratic party, which in this century produced woodrow wilson, frank than roosevelt, and harry truman, and supported and sustained programs that i discussed tonight. mr. nexen comes out of the republican party. he was nominated by it. years,t of the last 25 republican leadership has opposed aid for education, medical care for the aged, development of the tennessee valley, development of natural resources. xon is anr. ni effective leader of his party

let's turn to member of the senate judiciary committee hearing, john kennedy of louisiana, welcome back sunday, nice to have you. john: thanks, brit, nice to be here. brit: we can now see pretty clearly the outlines to have case made by democrats against judge barrett as she would be vote to strike down the affordable care act. what is your reaction to that? john: senator stabenow is my colleague. i consider her my friend, i say this gently, sell crazy somewhere else. we are all stocked up here unless -- unless debbie is clairvoyant, i don't think she knows how the nominee is going to vote or any other member of the united states supreme court. but debbie makes the point, the difference between democrats and republicans in terms of the role of the supreme court, my democratic friends think that the supreme court ought to be mini congress, politicians without ropes, they don't even need to hear cases. they already know how they are going to vote, and that's part of the problem, that's not how i view the appropriate role of the supreme court. and i don't think that's how it operates. you'

it has been 60 years since the debate between senator john kennedy and richard nixon. if there is one thing you hear about the legacy of that debate is that those watching on tv thought kennedy one and those listening on the radio thought won and thosedy listening on the radio thought nixon won. is that true? guest: it is a myth. [laughter] guest: it is partly true. he watched the rerun of the show he thought kennedy had won. the reason that popped up as there was a survey done by a marketing firm of people who listened on radio and they thought nixon had perhaps one it -- won it. you can watch it and then listen or vice versa and decide if there is a difference. most people think that kennedy emerged the winner from the first because if nothing else he looked better and poor richard nixon was suffering from an infection to his leg and he did not wear proper makeup. this weekends since that first nationally televised presidential debate. there were four debates between john f. kennedy and richard nixon. 13, 1960 and october 20 one, before the election. how did these fou

that's what's a little different from being a catholic in the pew, like myself or like john kennedy ory or antonin scalia. that is different. i think it's not politically expedient maybe for the democrats to talk about that. >> let me ask you one last thing and i'll let you go. if you could ask a question of judge barrett on this topic, what would that question be? how would you phrase it? >> well, what kind of relationship she has between that covenant in her group and the fundamental values of the constitution? i don't expect to hear anything explosive. i don't think that any question of this kind should be labeled automatically anti-catholic because this is preposterous. >> i see your point. all right. professor, thank you very much for joining us this morning. i do appreciate the conversation. >> thank you. >>> this morning, on state of the union, jake tapper sits down with house speaker nancy pelosi, jill biden, tom cotton and joe manchin. it airs at 9:00 eastern. >>> so the s.e.c. kicked off the season with fans in the stands. for the nfl teams, what about today? we're live with

election, that article today reminded me of the things that used to be written before john kennedy. could a catholic be loyal to the united states? come on. >> well, having said that -- >> when she made that awful remark to, to the judge. >> let me repeat my question again. why are only two bishops within the church speaking out and will you make an effort to get the -- >> i think they'll come -- this is day one. i mean, we've just started this. this is absolutely day one and i mean they'll be coming out very strong. the catholic church is very well united on this. they are so thrilled that amy was chosen. they are so thrilled. oh, they'll be, again, it's been 24 hours, okay? it's been a very short period of time, but they're going to come out very strong. please, go ahead? over here. >> and you spoke earlier about some of the subjects that joe biden has been refusing to answer questions on specifically hunter biden, involvement with russia, ukraine and then the obama -- >> and the press doesn't ask those questions? it's incredible. >> i wonder, the debate coming up this week do you

these gotcha books don't really interest me. >> seth: uh-oh, somebody take john kennedy to the shop there's coming out of his ears we're gonna need to open this bad boy up and check out the wiring and if you're too busy for gotcha books,"you should try gotcha books on tape the president made you one also, i'm not going to take advice on reading from a guy who sounds like drunk huckleberry hound. he sounds like his home address contains the word "yonder. with that said, he might not have been the one repeating himself. it could have been the bullfrog stuck in his throat. also, maybe you should be less concerned about gotcha books, and more concerned that your president is so easy to get. i mean, he's the dope who agreed to talk to bob woodward, of all people, who's, like, famous for "gotcha" on a presidential level. why did trump think it wouldn't end like this? "are you sure you want to do these interviews, mr. president? "oh, yeah, woodward's safe he's already used his 'gotcha' on nixon." in the trump era, we're constantly bombarded with scandal, so everything feels ephemeral, but this --

. >> and joining me now is republican senator john kennedy of louisiana.nator. >> you too, pam. >> senator, president trump told bob woodward the first week of february that he knew the coronavirus would be spread through the air and that it was more deadly than the flu. but two weeks later he said at a rally that coronavirus was the democrats' new hoax. is that acceptable to you? is that misleading the public? >> you're talking about the woodward book? >> yes, the woodward book. >> all i can do is share with you my point of view, pamela. these gotcha books don't really interest me that much. >> he's on the record. >> these gotcha books don't really interest me that much. there will be a new one out tomorrow. >> but this is different. he did 18 interviews with bob woodward. >> right. >> he's recorded. you hear his voice. and you're seeing that and you're contrasting that with what he says to the public. wouldn't that be something of interest to you as a united states senator? >> let me answer you again. these gotcha books don't really interest me. there wi

nixon had rehabilitated his career after his defeat to john kennedy in 1960, and then his stunning loss in the california governor's race in 1962. by 1968 he had emerged as the clear front-runner for the republican nomination. an even more surprising development that year, however, was the rise of george wallace as an independent candidate. with his bombastic style he appealed to thaent civil rights, anti-rights society pro-vietnam war voter that the republicans had to have. but nixon wanted to maintain the statesman-like image he had worked so hard to create since the dark days of 1962. how to reach those wallace supporters while appearing to be above the fray? pick a running mate to do it for you. so it was that spiro agnew became the surprise choice for vice president at the republican national convention that august. in their repeal to white middle class and working middle class voters they were helped immensely in chicago that year. the television audience witnessed nightly scenes of street protests, heavy-handed policing outside the convention hall. inside the hall democratic lead

but as john kennedy used to say, we all breathe the same air when all is said and done.eathe the same air. >> a point. neil: and as we keep a close look not only the president's pick in five and a half hours, who will be the new-- who he wants to become the new justice on the supreme court, but also, that big debate that is coming up on tuesday. the pressure on each candidate to perform well, sometimes it comes down to a matter of style. sometimes a memorable turn of a phrase, and sometimes just who gets in the other guy's face more. we're on it after this. >> all right, a bit of a cur-- kurfuffle when donald trump was asked about accepting the results. and what about joe biden. will democrats accept the results of the election. >> it's one thing-- not to liken, not the same thing is not accepted. and hillary clinton accepted it. did she like it? no, she didn't like it. did i like it, no, i didn't like it. neil: but she's telling joe biden don't concede right away, fight, fight, fight. if you heard donald trump say that, you would be aghast, right? >> no, i would not be

for the first opening statement by senator john f. kennedy. sen. kennedy: in the selection of 1860, abraham lincoln said the question was whether this nation could exist slave or free. with the world around us, the question is whether the world will exist half slave or half free? whether there is a move in the direction of freedom or the role we are taking or whether it will move in the direction of slavery. i think it will depend upon what we do here in the united states. kind of society that we build. from a kind of strength that we maintain. we discussed tonight domestic issues. but i would not want that to be any implication to be given that this does not involve directly our study with mr. khrushchev for survival. mr. khrushchev is in new york. he maintained the communist offensive throughout the world because of the productive power of the soviet union itself. the chinese communists have always had a large population. nowthey are dangerous because they are amounting major efforts within their own country. the kind of country we have to. the k

and the democratic candidate, senator john f. kennedy. now representatives of the candidates and of all the radio and television networks have agreed on these rules -- neither candidate will make an opening statement or a closing summation, each will be questioned in turn, each will have an opportunity to comment upon the answer of the other, each reporter will ask only one question in turn. he is free to ask any question he chooses. neither candidate knows what questions will be asked and only the clock will determine who will be asked the last question. these programs represent an unprecedented opportunity for the candidates to present their philosophies and programs directly to the people and for the people to compare these and the candidates. the four reporters on tonight's panel include a newspaperman and a wire service representative. these two were selected by lot by the press secretaries of the candidates from among the reporters traveling with the candidates. the broadcasting representatives were selected by their respective comp

he responded earlier much more to the assassination of john kennedy, despite the fact that he always saw kennedy his foil for standing in the schoolhouse door, trying to keep out black students in 1963. he really respected him. when kennedy was assassinated, it disturbed him deeply, i think, in part because he realizes that the assassination of a public figure like kennedy could happen to him as well >> you have a picture in your book of president kennedy touring alabama in 1963. not a picture that jfk wanted to have published. >> he made every effort to make sure he was not photographed side-by-side with george wallace. he may have not liked wallace. in some ways, he admired his political skills. he did not like him, but he realized that politically this was not going to do him any good to have this picture next to governor wallace. >> there is the picture. you could see it was sticking by a long lens. jfk getting off the helicopter and greeting governor wallace. what was his reaction in june 1968 when rfk was shot? >> he really did not like robert kennedy. they had had a number of d

tell us about whether it is historians or the public that you are finding at the kennedy library people thinking about john f. kennedy's legacy? has it been shifting? folks would be interested in hearing about that. alan: i think many people point to some pretty concrete measures in terms of his legacy. the establishment of the peace corps as an agency, certainly an inspiring legacy for the thousands who have served as volunteers and returned with an even greater sense of civic responsibility to lead the nation. theink that the signing of test ban treaty and i will connect that to the peaceful resolution of the cuban missile crisis from which we have learned a tremendous amount and subsequent putting into place things like a hot line and thethe white house kremlin to reduce the risk of nuclear escalation and other .eacemaking efforts i think that his rhetoric in so many ways has inspired generations not only in america but around the world. he was a beloved president. i could say that the entire isnedy family, ms. kennedy an inspiration, his brother bobby, his brother ted kennedy and their public service.
