which was the last thing john kennedy wanted to see. conventional wisdom has it that the cia misled kennedy about the essentials of the operation. that they really tricked him into going ahead by misleading him, for example, about the chances of the cuban population rising up against castro. i don't think the cia was totally up front, in fact richard bissell later admitted they sold too hard. i don't believe kennedy was fooled either. i think he knew more or less what he was getting into. he got it into anyway because he didn't know how not to get into it. he painted himself into a corner during the campaign. and by the way, most americans are in that same corner with him. everybody wanted castro gone. well, the operation moved forward almost inexorably. through february and march. and finally in early april, after weeks of hemming and hawing, president kennedy gave it the thumbs up. he still held out the possibility of canceling it but he never did. for reasons i won't mention i don't think there was a good chance that he would have. an

the decision that john f. kennedy of pigs, do you think that resulted in his assassination or played a part in that decision? >> i think probably lee harvey oswald's mind, it did. there's a question of whether fidel castro ordered it. lyndon johnson said something like, castro knew that kennedy wanted to kill him, so he went and killed kennedy. there was a lot of speculation that castro may have ordered this himself. castro denies it vehemently. we know that oswald visited the mexican, the cuban embassy in mexico city shortly before the assassination and perhaps got some sort of signal or communication there. but what we know for sure is that oswald, he was in the soviet union when the bay of bigs happened and was infuriated by it and thought that he was doing fidel castro a favor by going after john kennedy. indirectly, yes, i do think the bay of pigs definitely leads to the assassination of kennedy. it may have had a more direct link, but that's very difficult, maybe impossible to prove. over here, please. i'll come

worst, he would be soft on communism, the lasting john kennedy wanted to seem. conventional wisdom has it that the cia misled kennedy about the essentials of the operation that they really tricked him into going ahead by misleading him for example about the chances of the cuban population rising up against castro. i don't think the cia was totally upfront. they later admitted that they sold too hard, but i don't believe kennedy was fooled. he knew what he was getting into and got into it anyway, because he didn't know how not to get into it. he painted himself into a corner during the campaign. by the way, most americans were in the same corner with him. everybody wanted castro gone. finally, in early april, after weeks of hemming and hawing, president kennedy gave the thumbs up. he still held up the possibility of canceling, it but he never did, and for reasons that i mentioned, i don't think there was ever a good chance that he would have. and so, back to where we began, april 15th and the opening attack on the cuban airfields. the attack was meant to destroy c

time to get rid of idiots like john kennedy.voting them out. of course, a lot of other idiots out there have tried to undermine your faith in voting, like the ex-president's ex- lawyer and "hunger games" soccer mom, sidney powell. ( evie laughs ) after biden won the election, powell went around lying that dominion voting systems, a company that makes election equipment," worked with democrats to rig its machines to ensure a win for joe." in response, dominion filed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against her. billion-dollar. that's not good. as the former president's lawyer, her strong suit is clearly not "winning in court." but powell is defending herself, in the dumbest, dumbest way possible, arguing that her lawsuit should be tossed because "no reasonable person" would believe her claims. in a way, she's right. no reasonable person could have believed her election-rigging nonsense. which is why she spent so much time with no reasonable person. to get out of paying a billion dollars, powell's lawyers have also claimed that h

and it went all the way up to john kennedy. it was created by the joint chiefs of staff and went all the way to the president's desk and the president said we're not doing this. but the fact that it was proposed has been used by a lot of conspiracy theorists, tin foil hat types to say, if the government was willing to do this, they're willing to do anything, like fake 9/11 or fake the moon landing or kill kennedy. northwoods is about as corrupt and shady a plan as you can possibly think of. this is something that i can't believe our joint chiefs of staff came up with. to give you some ideas of what "northwoods" is. the list of different ways we can justify an invasion of cuba to take out castro with the u.s. military. the suggestions were as broad as, staging the assassination of cuban exiles in the united states. having the cia kill cuban refugees and pretend it was the cuban government. developing a fake terror campaign in miami in washington, d.c., and blame it on the cuban government. as someone whose father was living in m

you will recognize that as being similar to the rocking chairs that john f. kennedy used when he was president. it was done by the same manufacturer. every president of course gets to choose the portraits that he wants to grace his oval office. in president johnson's case he chose george washington, andrew jackson, and his hero franklin roosevelt's. he was very much a product of the new deal and was a protÉgÉ in many respects of franklin roosevelt's, who saw the great potential in young lyndon johnson. so when johnson became president it was his hope that he would finish the new deal, he would finish with his great society what president roosevelt started with the new deal. and one of the things that fdr left unaddressed in his presidency was civil rights. i think ultimately president johnson will be remembered as the civil rights president for having signed into law the civil rights act of 1964 which broke the back of jim crow in our separate but equal laws throughout the south. the voting rights act of 1965 which gave all americans unimpeded access to the ballot bo

to what extent do historians now believe john kennedy directly ordered the assassinations? as you know, apologists don't want to acknowledge it. evan thomas in his biography of robert kennedy says there's no evidence. what's the current state of evidence whether john kennedy explicitly or directly said, go get him? >> directly. yeah, i mean, it's -- covert -- the cia is not going to make those decisions on their own. even before church and pike. nowadays, any covert action has to be blessed by the president. that wasn't the case going back to the 1960s and the kennedy administration. but under dulles, they're certainly not going to make these kind of decisions because dulles does have free reign under eisenhower, not under kennedy, but certainly under mccohn. kennedy makes a point of firing dulles at the start of his presidency. kennedy becomes president in january of 1961. bay of pigs, dulles is fired and mccohn is his hand-picked replacement. he's not going to do anything without the blessing of at least bobby. there might be times when it only gets to bobby kennedy, his

and the other two principal candidates are stuart symington, a senator from missouri, and john kennedy a junior senator from massachusetts. and the three men are sitting in the green room ahead of this debate, they're about to have a debate. they're sitting in the green room. why green rooms are called a green room, i don't know, i've been in lots of them and none of them has been green. nonetheless, they're sitting there making small talk. and kennedy says, stuart, lyndon, i have to tell you something, something very strange that happened to me. my dream, god reached down from heaven and tapped me on the shoulder and said, jack, you're my boy, this is your year. you are going to win the democratic nomination. you are going to be the next president of the united states. what do you think of that? so stuart symington looks at kennedy. symington, sort of the model of a senator, central casting, this tall, square-jawed guy with a great mane of white hair. he looks at the much younger kennedy, he looks at johnson, he said, jack, i don't know what to tell you, because, you see, i had a drea

what is the current state of evidence whether john kennedy, directly basically said go get them? >> okay the cia, is not going to make those decisions on their own. even before -- nowadays any covert a operation has to be signed off. and that was not the case before. but under dulles, they will not make these kind of decisions. because dulles, it does have free rein under eisenhower but not under kennedy. and kennedy makes a specific point of firing dulles at the beginning of his presidency. kennedy becomes president in january 1961, bay of pigs is a couple of months later, and dulles gets fired, but cohen is his handpicked replacement. and cohen is not going to do something, you know at least bobby. there might be times where it only gets to bobby kennedy, the attorney general, but there is no evidence anywhere that they didn't talk about everything. so i would say are almost guaranteed there's implicit blessing. and i would think it's even more explicit. kennedy may have not said let's put a bullet in his head, but if you listen to a lot of the communications from the cuban mis

so in 1960 when john f. kennedy was elected president, he saw from abroad the style that president kennedy and his wife were bringing to the white house and to washington. and art buchwald thought perhaps this might be a good time to move and to cover something different than paris night life and celebrities. he saw the new frontier as a challenge. but some warned him that if he went to washington, he'd get massacred. how could he possibly complete with columnists like walter lipman and stuart and joseph alosopp but he made the leap anywhere in 1962 and within a few years his brand of humor and satire and easy going personality made him a national journalistic celebrity. from then on, until he died in 2007, art buchwald would entertain people from around the world with his wit, humor, insight, satire and above all, his good cheer. for over five decades it seemed as if everyone began their day by reading art buchwald as he satirized political skoun dales, and over his long career poked fun at ten different presidents

it was a low point, the worst moment for john f. kennedy in his three years in the white house. as president, he took full responsibility for the failure of the united states policy. this misuse of united states power, although the total blame was clearly not his. it on april 17th 1961 a group of about 1500 cuban exiles supported by the cia landed on the southern coast of the island nation on the bay of pigs. their goal was to spearhead an uprising and overthrow the revolutionary government of fidel castro. within two days the operation failed. on april 20th, 1961 president kennedy spoke before a meeting of the american society of newspaper editors at washington d.c. and outlined his policy towards cuba and fidel castro. >> ladies and gentlemen the president of the united states. >> members of the american society, newspaper editors, latest gentlemen, the president of the great democracy such as ours, and the editors of great newspapers, such as yours, oh a common obligation to the people. and obligation to present the facts, to present them with candor. and to present them in p

one of the worst curtsies is probably john f. kennedy, during his hundred days, there was the bay of pigs invasion. it was a horrible mess. it failed. there was not an uprising of people wanting to go out castro. it was a big embarrassment. over that summer, what happened over that summer? negotiations and relationships with russia broke down. i guy named khrushchev was the head of state in the soviet union at the time. he took john kennedy's measure based on the bay of pigs and said this guy is not up to the job, i can roll him. and what happened is that he put missiles in cuba leading to the cuban missile crisis. there are some bad things that can happen in that first summer, particularly if a president is a bit inexperienced as kennedy was when he came into office. host: john in ohio, republican. good morning. caller: yes, i would like to make a couple of points about the vaccine. i remember watching c-span back when trump's press secretary was on and one of the reporters asked the question why won't trump lit biden -- let biden in on
