kennedy. i'm going johnson. he goes to -- the first person to give a report johnson. robert already made up the mind that kennedy is dead and johnson is president. that's not what he says. what he says to johnson is first to report to johnson, i have seen the president's wounds and i don't think he can survive. and johnson said, i need more information. i want to hear from o'donnell. he was the chief of staff for the kennedy white house. and he wants to hear from roy who was president kennedy's. as he leaves the room he runs to another secret service agent who arrived late but didn't see anything. he said have you seen -- what is the president's condition? and he said very matter of factually. the president is dead. and later robert called william manchester and said johnson didn't know what i knew. kennedy is dead. the next person who comes in was roy he was in the limousine, the presidential limousine. he was one of the people who helped lichted ceb -- lifted ken i can's he says the presiden

kennedy. kennedy remains with us today. his legacy is so contested. views of him are still all over the map. historians to rate him that high. the put them in the top 20. americans rate him extremely high. he remains the most popular president of the 20th century besides of franklin roosevelt. "atlantic" has been around for a long time. we covered the kennedy administration thoroughly. our writers have struggled with the question of what impact his administration had, and what he was like as a man. forommission new stories the insights and revelations of the 50 years since he was killed. putting that together with great pieces by walter litman and other writers. trying to produce a composite orchard of the man and his moment, it is president. -- and his presidency. pas conversations, past editions, publications. new essayse are about kennedy struggles with joint chiefs. i think it is the most clear portrait of how he handled the human missile crisis. we have been on all sides of this. condemning him in years since, but what relic -- but he was in a re

he was so glad that kennedy won and within a few weeks of kennedy's victory even before kennedy became president khrushchev sent the word through some american journalists and also through some soviets that he wanted to have a good relationship with kennedy and that he looked forward to it. kennedy and response had a meeting with the soviet experts and in february sent a memo -- excuse me a letter to khrushchev indicating that he hoped they would have an early meeting. khrushchev sat on the invitation he had had intelligence reports that the united states was going to attack cuba. he alerted castro and told him what to expect and then he decided to sit and wait. as you know the american invasion took place. it was the bay of pigs. actually was a group of cuban exiles whom the americans landed and as you also know castro was ready and the cubans had to surrender and the whole thing was a disaster. but what fascinated khrushchev was the kennedy let it be a disaster. he thought that kennedy would use some of those planes that were flying overhead or that he would use some of those ships c

congress passed the kennedy tax program.sident lyndon johnson signed it into law on march 15, 1964, a monument to a martyred president. the economy took off in a burst of prosperity. within 18 months gnp was growing at a feverish 5%. unemployment dropped to its lowest rate in 7 years. it seemed that in president kennedy's phrase, "a rising tide really had lifted all boats." on december 31, 1965 the cover of time magazine featured john maynard keynes 19 years dead, but once again a household word. for economists accustomed to obscurity, it was a welcome change to bask in the limelight. just about everyone agreed that the tax cut was an unqualified success. by 1965, it appeared we had finally learned how to use fiscal policy to control the economy. we asked richard gill why the 1964 tax cut had seemed like such a rousing success. it did seem to get the country moving again. it seemed a proof of the keynesian theory, dominant among economists by the 1960s. in terms of our diagram, the tax cut gave consumers more disposable inco

kennedy to lyndon johnson. this is about an hour. >>> i think the question when you write a book like this, the first question that you have to answer is do we really need another book about the kennedy assassination? is there anything new to be said about the assassination of president ken i can? are there new materials that have suddenly become available not available for the past 46 years that allow us to see these event in a different light? obviously my answer to that question is yes, for selfish purposes. most of the people. -- it's

we started with kennedy. it was virgin kennedy. that was my name on the air at alternative station. >> how did you get to mtv. >> my boss, look at that. a lot of people have given me a hard time on being naked on a horse. i'm not naked on a horse. that's a donkey. back off, people. it totally changes context. my boss at the radio station hired me when i was intern and went to mtv to be senior vice president of programing. >> that is andy schohn. >> andy schohn, exactly. they were having change of the guard. new look at mtv they wanted knee vjas. he was adventurous. i became a vjay in 192. >> how did that change your life? >> i moved to new york. i didn't know what to expect. the night before i left for new york i was shopping at a grocery store in l.a., and i said am i going to be mobbed next time i'm at a grocery store? i knew it would be a light switch. hoards of people would follow me screaming. that didn't happen. it took a long time for me to be recognized. it was strange and lonely. i was far away from my family in oregon. at

kennedy. she got back to new york and she realized she had only seen one aspect of him. she had seen him in person but she decided if she wanted to capture his essence she was going to have to watch them whenever he came on tv and cut out photographs from life and "the new york times" and she pasted them all over her wall. pretty soon she was working on 36 oil campuses. she had to climb the ladder to reach them. the first picture in my book shows her reaching up into one of her top kennedy portraits. what had she found? i think she found with this taureans and viper for use -- biographers have found for decades since and that is kennedy's elusiveness for secrecy and his passion to secrecy and is habit of compartmentalizing the aspects of his life. ted sorensen wrote different parts of his life were seen by many people but no one saw it all. so dekunick's experiences trying to capture the essence of john f. kennedy confirmed my suspicion as i started writing this book that discovered they essen

kennedy memorial was dedicated nearby in 1970. it was here in this building that visitors from around the world estimate over 1 million annually, they gathered at dealey plaza to assess the -- dealey plaza and experience history for their own eyes. there was initially an effort by senator mike mccool from the state of texas to purchase the building but he found no support in the senate and the 1970 and national music for motor purchased the building at a public auction hoping to open a museum and research center but unable to secure financial backing he lost the depository 1972. at this point a public outcry to demolish the building gained momentum. community leaders from tom landry to ross perot advocated tearing down the depository and a group of business executives formed organization called dallas onward and pledged over $100,000 to purchase the building and demolish it. ultimately after that dallas city council opposed demolition permits on the building dallas county led by joseph should arrange to purchase the depository as

kennedy. kennedy, unlike so many presidents of the 20th century, remains with us today.is legacy is so contested. over of hama are still all the map. historians do not rate him that high. they put him in the top 20 of presidents but americans overall it -- rate him extremely high. he remains the most popular president of the 20th century, besides franklin roosevelt. "the atlantic" has been around for a long time, 100 and 50 years >> and we covered the kennedy administration and in the years since our writers have struggled down the years consistently with the question of what impact his administration had and what kennedy was like as a man. it felt like an opportunity for us to step back, commission some stories with the insights and revelations of the 50 years since he was killed and putting it together with some of the great leases by walter litman and other writers over the years and tried to produce a composite portrait of the man and his moment and his presidency. host: what would you say is new about what you put together, different from past conversations, past ed

kennedy entered the room.e witnessed her farewell to her husband. >> she stood there, very self-contained, stood there for a moment and exchanged the ring from her finger to the president's finger and a ring from his finger to her finger. she leaned over and hissed his right foot and then walked out of trauma room one. >> less than 48 hours later, both doctors would be operating on a dying oswald. both doctors say they just did their jobs while history unfolded on their operating table. >> both doctors will appear in the documentary parkland, focusing on the kennedy assassination from inside the hospital. that with him do it for this edition of the news. news at the top of every hour, as well as on aljazeera.com at any time of day. thanks for watching. have a great morning. >> the stock market recent run yo up. is it too late to get in on that action. and i'll show what you options your insurance agent might be able to offer you under boom obamacare, this is "real money."

holly briefly dated a man named kennedy.a wine and sex driven evening, holly made some kind of confession. this, thought the prosecutors was gold. >> what did he claim he heard? >> he claimed to have heard holly mcfeature confess by saying she put something in his drinks. >> narrator: prosecutor brian mcdonna. >> but that she wanted to stop but that his kidneys had failed. and that was compelling evidence. >> narrator: but always something, mr. kennedy wasn't the church pastor, in fact he was in county jail, under arrest for beating up some cops. so a snitch. >> as a prosecutor, we don't like informants. but what was so compelling about his testimony was that he was the only person to have that knowledge. >> how would he have that knowledge? where would he hear that? >> he heard that from her lips to his ears. >> narrator: but how could they possibly prove it? one possible way, sneaky, but it might work. they set up a phone call, kennedy in prison, called holly. and they turned on a tape recorder. >> hello? >> holly. >> yes.

kennedy was our first keynesian president. it isn't that others hadn't done some keynesian things, but kennedy did it in an avowed and perceptive way. he was very cautious at first. he finally saw a more liberal approach was needed to stimulate the economy. it took the form of a massive tax cut proposed in i962. this net reduction in tax liabilities of $10 billion will increase the purchasing power of american families and business enterprises in every tax bracket. but john f. kennedy didn't live to see his programs enacted. instead, on that fateful november day, lyndon baines johnson was sworn in as the 36th president of the united states. johnson pursued kennedy's economic proposals and pushed the tax plan through congress. how well did it work? perfectly. business week, which isn't exactly a liberal pro-kennedy publication, said it probably was the most successful tax cut in history. it came out of the textbooks. it went back into the textbooks as the fiscal measure that came closer to carrying out what people had projected

shortly before the invasion kennedy ordered that no u.s. air support be given to the invasion force. that's begun on the dictatorship. media we got involved in the first firefight which was a cold that was guarding the city or the oil that will calm down and and therefore after that we started them moving in then we found the first resistor at one am in the morning and wednesday the nineteenth i was awakened by a call from the white house it was mack bundy he said i am in the president's office and he would like to have you come down here soon as. when i arrived in the president's office president was concerned it sharpened his comment. it was increasingly clear even with the breakdown of communication that things were going badly. no one knew. to see the american ships in the horizon and people were trying to get in whatever boats they could find to try to reach them but the five of them either there were too few rope boats and there was just not enough time when that broadcast came from the beach and the leader said we're standing in the

it was a big deal when robert kennedy came to bismarck.nd at that time the plight of native americans had really been ignored. it was september 13, 1963 a tribal parade bound through bismarck followed by a picnic for 3,000 people. but it was the arrival of attorney general robert kennedy and his speech about the plight thaof the american indian. >> to stay on his reservation or leave it, but that freedom amounts to precious little. >> reporter: among the strolls highlighted were poverty, under education, disease. [♪ music ] >> reporter: kennedy's words have been echoing through the united tribe summit this week where leaders from five reservation are discussing the same issues that the late attorney general discussed. the median put u.s. households at roughly $50,000. it's under $30,000 for native americans. a teenager when kennedy came to town, he was inspired by his words and he thinks native americans are making progress, but he says that it's been tough. >> i think issues such as job discrimination historically were there and are still

jenna: what is kennedy's defense?y's defense throughout the morning, he says nearly every physical security request was met when they got >> except for one request which i will touch on in a second, all the requests that were filed by our embassy on behalf of the mission facility in benghazi were met. >> and so the terrac terrace ovn the facility on september 11 and what kennedy did not mention as he was a senior state department official who signed off in the benghazi operation with substandard security in an action memo in december, nine months before the attack. democrats complain this morning's hearing should be focused on preventing the next benghazi. they argue cannot do that until you affix blame at the proper level. one more headline as i was sitting down to do this live report. kennedy succeeded in that the security in benghazi was not up to standards and the described physical standards of the state department had laid out was simply a hole in benghazi they were trying to meet. it would never meet what is co

the kennedy i had already been elected. and they were taking notes for five hours and i improve the relationship and i was leaving and he called me back. then he told me that they were not letting him and and this is part of the military establishment. >> thank you. >> you talk about people ascribing things and it is these people and surely there must be a conspiracy there. and obviously the chapter and this isn't the evolution and gradually that sort of expands to include and the second bank of the united states, and subsidized by the state and the trust and trusts and so on. there are all sorts of economic related conspiracy thinking here. >> what can you do about these conspiracy theories that have no institutions with the credibility to address and resolve these competing views of reality and i will just take the 9/11. there is the government case and there is the architects and engineers case, which says that the government's case is not possible under the laws of physics. and that is pretty compelling is a dispute. so

kennedy's daughter caroline comes back to washington. this time to reveal if she will be america's ambassador to japan. welcome to our viewers on public television in america and also around the globe. there were fierce gun battles and a town just outside the egyptian capital cairo today. security forces were trying to round up supporters of the ousted president. armored cars backed up by to theters moved in stronghold for supporters for the former president. our correspondent was caught up in the gunfire and sent this report. >> the army and police came just after dawn, not are from cairo, the town was besieged and about to become a battle zone. support the ousted president morsi. his portrait hangs from the lamppost. it was not clear who was shooting, but the town has been bracing itself for trouble for weeks. scramblethe streets for cover. huge guns out here firing from all sides. it seems someone has been firing on security forces from high up in one of the buildings here. the authorities were driven out when this police station was

kennedy been notified here? >> not yet. >> jackie once described the moment that jfk told her about her son's death in this autoowe recording. >> he came back from boston to me in the hospital and he walked in the morning about 8:00 in my room. and just sobbed and put his arms around me. >> there's jfk, caroline and jfk jr. on their way to the funeral. >> jackie couldn't attend, she was so sick. she was in the hospital back in cape cod. and at one point, toward the end of the funeral, jack would not let go of this tiny little coffin containing his son. he held it in his amples and repew -- arms and refused to move. >> deborah: today because of medical advances 95% of babies born prematurely with respiratory distress syndrome do survive. >>> and check out this guy, he freely admits that he has zero recognition and that he has absolutely no qualifications but that's not stopping him from running for mayor. and thanks to his choice of attire he has gotten both lots of attention and now a shot at winning. >> hi sir,

pat kennedy did not make this decision alone, and that is not how pat kennedy operates, and so someone needs to bring him in and say, ambassador kennedy, who told you to continue the operation? because he did not make that decision on his own. >> and i want to make it clear that continue the operation after it had already been determined that they needed more security at our consulate in benghazi. and also, the people on the list, and you know them, thes s assistant secretary of state and secretary of state hillary clinton and the fact that they had the ability and the authority and reading through the draft report to sit them down to conduct the depositions but chose not to do individual interviews, but group interviews, and why is that significant? >> it is really significant, because they know what was going on and they know the process, and that ambassador stevens was asking for an increased security that others were saying that the situation is getting unsafe and we need to have more help, and so the process before the decision was made is really key. and let me say one other thin

>> kennedy montgomery. that was too long for the radio starting in los angeles 1981 so we just chose kennedy that was it my name on the air. >> host: how did you get to mtv? >> my a vote on dash my boss people give me a hard time for being naked on a horse. that is a donkey. my boss at the radio station went to mtv to be the senior vice president of programming. and at the time they were having a changing of the guard, the look, they wanted new p.j. and fortunately i was in the right place at the right time. so that i became a vj 1992. >> host: how did that change your life? >> i moved to new york guy did not know what to expect. the night before i was shopping in a garage restore and i thought will i be mont the next time? i assumed it would be no light switch but that took a long time to be recognized and it was interesting and strangely and loan the i was far away from my family but i knew the grated ginger had begun if i made it great promise to myself i would maximize every moment to take advantage of

kennedy. caroline kennedy said if she's confirmed she will work in lines with her father's wishes. >> i will carry forward his legacy in a small way and represent the powerful bonds that represent our two democratic societies. >> kennedy testified before the senate foreign relations committee. it was the first time she has publicly discussed policies on japan. she visited hiroshima in 1978 with her uncle, the late senator edward kennedy. she said the u.s. alliance with japan remains the cornerstone of peace, stability and prosperity in asia. and she said she can think of no other country in which she would rather serve. >> i will work to increase exchanges between american and japanese students, scholars and citizens, so that future generations will understand our shared history and continue to bind our nations closer. >> japan's top government spokesman expressed hope that kennedy would soon be confirmed. >> translator: japan welcomes president obama's nomination of caroline kennedy to be the

mark or curt ok great back back in one thousand nine hundred sixty two president kennedy was asked at a news conference out keep in mind kennedy won the one nine hundred sixty election by beating up nixon that nixon was vice president and he let cuba go communist that was the big thing in the election and everybody was you know oh my god the communists and so for two years kennedy during kennedy's presidency nixon was beating him up because he hadn't yet stopped cuba from being communist and nixon was planning on running for president again which he did sixty eight and and so there was a certain amount of like chest thumping testosterone going around around all this whole thing about cuba and so somebody at a press conference asked kennedy what would you do if there were offensive weapons in cuba and he said you know we would have a very vigorous response and he said something that was fairly strong to that effect that then set nixon off and nixon sort of run around the country gone he's not going to do anything he's a wimp baiting going to happen he's soft on communism and two weeks

kennedy in mind caroline kennedy pledged to strengthen u.s.apanese relations if she is confirmed as ambassador to japan. >> this appointment has a special significance as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of my father's presidency. i'm conscious of my responsibility to uphole the ideals that he represented. a deep commitment to public service and more just america and a more peaceful world. as a world war ii veteran who served in the pacific, he hoped to be the first sitting president to make a state visit to japan. if confirmed as ambassador i'll be humbled to carry forward his legacy in a small way. >> joining me now for the daily fix kelly o'donnell and chris cillizza, msnbc contributor and co-host of post tv in play. kelly, this the next level. i think it's a strange appointment. i don't know why she didn't get london or ireland or france or someplace nearby but she's going over there to fill the shoes of walter mondale, and it's a pretty prestigious post herself. >> her grandfather ambassador to court of st. james. >> notoriously, by th

kennedy in new york city. it was a group organized at the last minute by the author james baldwin and included some of the leading lights of black intellectual life like lorraine hansberry, kenneth clarke, harry belafonte. they all showed up at the apartment to give a state of the nation for the black community and the united states. after welcoming his casts robert kennedy recited some of the gains that the kennedy administration was planning for civil rights. he went down a list that included hiring more blacks than any previous administration, having more executive orders for civil rights, support for a number of different civil rights initiatives. when he was finished he opened the floor for discussion and question. the senior members of this group turned to youngbear ron smith and said, look, mr. attorney general, we want you to hear directly from someone in a fire on this. jerome smith was sitting right in front of robert kennedy. robert kennedy was sitting on a chair. and the first thing that he tol

they weren't going to follow five more years of john kennedy and then bobby kennedy. 13 years is a lifetimek it's going to happen. i used to think it would happen in my lifetime. i know now that's not going to occur. i want to point out one final thing that we're part of an 85% m majority. it's about time the united states government realized that this case has to be dealt with. 50 years is not that long. we'll show who is responsible for the killing. >> i'm out of time. you'll see a ton of shows about the facts and circumstances surrounded the murder of the young and gracious 35th president. the reason we just can't believe that a low life drifter like lee harvey oswald could have taken the life of john kennedy on his own because he was a low life. i really do think when all is said and done like the warren commissioner and researchers as diverse as stephen king and mark furman. you'll find he committed the crime of the century pretty much by himself. that's it for us. stay tuned to fox news as investigators probe that fire on the jersey shore for a possible arson and first responders sear

kennedy had many personalities.and he was able to rise to many different occasions, a lot of them contradictory. and make contradictory statements. ultimately, seems to me he would have thought that the success in the cuban missile crisis was because he followed a soft light. he followed thompson. he followed the blockade. he was very upset about military advice right straight through from the bay of pigs to the cuban missile crisis. admiral anderson, all these people, and he didn't want to trust military men on the spot, which clay sort of stands for. it was very clear all three of the people through the crisis tied the hands of everybody in the military, both in washington and abroad, so there was no checkpoint charlie's after that he didn't authorize from the white house. so i come away pleased that you reached the analysis you have, but i think it's probably overstated when it comes to the final john f. kennedy and what he really was actually. >> you've made so many comments, i do want to take time to comment to

kennedy. our president faces a big crisis.uthor of the kennedy half century who draws distinctions. larry, big difference between the cuban mills crisis and syria but i want to harken back to something about the urgency that was there and the president back then immediately shared the gravity and why an immediate response was required. john f. kennedy more than a half century ago. >> the 1930's taught you have us a lesson, aggressive conduct if allowed to be unchecked and unchallenged leads to war. this nation is opposed to war. we are also true to our words. our unswerving objection must be to prudent the use of missiles against this or any other country and secure their withdrawal or elimination from the western hemisphere. >> neil: the present president is using an government from history and the fact the civilized world and this civilized country as a super power cannot count countenance this sort of activity. did that pitch last night work as effectively as kennedy's did back then? >> not even close. first off i would say

kennedy in the white jerseys. last year they lost by one single point to the moreau catholic mariners. kennedy came in to and one -- two and one and the mariners are a perfect four and 0. this opener adds a little more energy to the game. >> our kids are have have excited. -- very very excited. we're coming up a biweek but they're excited and we're excited and ready to get this one going. >> we had a great game with them last year. lost by one point, but it's a game we look forward to. we're glad they're back in the league and it'll be a good game. it's just a group of kids that are together and want to get this done, and are really having fun. we're trying to really get that across, this is hard work but it has to be fun so we're very happy. >> reporter: and kennedy should be happy because they're inside the ten yard line trying to score on the opening drive. again, last year it's moreau catholic who won by a single point. both teams love to run the ball and run some more. we're going to show you hopefully tonigh

they weren't going to follow five more years of john kennedy and then bobby kennedy. 13 years is a lifetimek it's going to happen. i used to think it would happen in my lifetime. i know now that's not going to occur. i want to point out one final thing that we're part of an 85% m majority. it's about time the united states government realized that this case has to be dealt with. 50 years is not that long. we'll show who is responsible for the killing. >> i'm out of time. you'll see a ton of shows about the facts and circumstances surrounded the murder of the young and gracious 35th president. the reason we just can't believe that a low life drifter like lee harvey oswald could have taken the life of john kennedy on his own because he was a low life. i really do think when all is said and done like the warren commissioner and researchers as diverse as stephen king and mark furman. you'll find he committed the crime of the century pretty much by himself. that's it for us. stay tuned to fox news as investigators probe that fire on the jersey shore for a possible arson and first responders sear

the main character -- but then, caroline kennedy is no ordinary nominee. a member of the nations most famous political family was in front of the senate. >> it is an honor to appear before you this morning to serve as united its ambassador to japan. >> that kennedy name came up both from the senators questioning her -- >> your mother and father, your aunts and uncles, and all of your family have inspired generations now. >> and from the nominee herself. >> this appointmentas a special significance as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of my father's presidency. >> caroline was only three years old when her father was elected president. his popularity and the country's fascination with the first family meant they were always in the spotlight. she and her brother, john junior, grew up in front of the was the whiter it house photographers or the home movies her parents were fond of making. half a century later, she stressed her father's strong connection to japan during his time in the oval office. >> he had hoped to be the first sitting president to make a
