kennedy. november 22nd, 1963. do you remember? i see that many of you are old enough to remember. if you are over 55 or 56 years old you remember exactly where you were and what you doing and how you felt when you heard that news. it was 50 years ago next month but in some anyways it seems like yesterday. i remember i was 4 years old. i don't remember anything about the assassination itself. i remember nothing about november 22nd or saturday november 23rd but i had two playmates across the street, two girls, i remember them to this day, they were 7 and 10 and they tolerated the 4-year-old who wanted to play with them. their father who was very conservative did not want them to watch television. they didn't have -- he wanted them to go to harvard, of them slammed it and went to my college, university of chicago. my mother said to me on the morning of sunday november 24th get dressed, get out of your pajamas, the girl coming over. why? their coming over to watch television. why are the girls bei

he seemed to just want to get it over with. >> he clearly loved president kennedy and the kennedy family was as shocked as anybody about what had happened in dallas. and wepetedly, in the history of the warren commission, you see the chief justice making decisions that are designed to protect the privacy of the kennedy family, and the legacy of president kennedy. >> schieffer: the result was the autopsy photos were never seen by the investigators on the warren commission. >> there was huge turmoil in-- on the staff of the warren commission because chief justice warren, he saw the awful, gruesome autopsy photos, and he made the decision that nobody would see them, none of the other commissioners, none of the staff. they would never be seen, even though they were the most important evidence, the medical evidence, that was needed by the staff. and there's a big fight on the part of the staff to try to get the chief justice to change his mind. >> schieffer: whatever happened to them? >> they were retained by robert kennedy at the justice department. and robert kennedy was also very insistent

"if kennedy lived," jeff

that's kennedy late 1962.onference and doesn't sound like a guy who's ready to be withdrawing from vietnam, but you make the argument, vietnam, there would have been no escalation but actually a withdrawal. why? >> right. when people analyze what john kennedy might have done, it's critically important to figure out when they're talking. because if you look at the campaign of 1960 and his placating of his military the first couple years with advisers, they wanted a lot more than just advisers, you can make that argument. but if you look at where he was by the end of his life where he is pushing his pretty hawkish national security team to let's see if we can start this small drawdown of troops, 1500, his constant and growing skepticism about the military's assertions of what it could do and his determination which really hit a high point starting in june of '63 with that american university speech to damp down the cold war. >> that's what you spent a lot of time, that speech in 1963. this is no longer a cold wa

on the day of president kennedy's assassination, a c.i.a. officer in paris is handing a poison pen to a man apparently assigned to kill castro. no, the kennedy administration was very clearly trying to oust castro and almost certainly violently. >> schieffer: and from time to time came up with these various plots-- bring in the mafia to see if they could help and that sort of thing. castro had to know about that. >> he did. he did know aboutt that. just weeks before the assassination, castro gave an interview in havana saying he was aware the kennedy administration was trying to kill him and there would be retaliation if that continued. >> schieffer: but apparently, tom johnson, came away that he thought the consequences would be disastrous for cuba if he did try something. we'll never know. obviously, he's going to deny it, but we'll never know any more than that. we'll be back in one minute. we're going to bring in peggy noonan and bob woodward into this discussion. >> we're watching an official reenactment of the murder of president john

kennedy retreat in virginia, used to talk constantly about kennedy's tax cuts on the campaign trail,out ken dipnedykennedy'sn foreign policy and military buildup and used to say, which is still true, when conservatives talk about kennedy like this, it makes liberals tear out their hair. >> moderate movement conservatism starts with gold water after kennedy is gone, it's like comparing different eras that didn't touch each other? >> nixon, who was the republican that kennedy really faced off in the 1960 campaign, wrote in his memoir, that kennedy successfully left people after the debates with the idea that kennedy was to the right of nixon on communism. >> look, it's an interesting book. i don't agree with some of it but i like how much you're pushing us to think about these figures in a different way. thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> up next, what one woman didn't know she was agreeing to when she said i do. building animatronics is all about getting things to work together. the timing, the actions, the reactions. everything has to synch up. my expenses are no different. rece

i asked if it was the power of the kennedys and the money of the kennedys and skakel's that kept him from getting arrested for 25 years. i ask you, do you think it was his kennedy connection, the fact he is your cousin, is that the reason the jury was willing to believe he was a drunk and perfectly able to kill a 15-year-old kid? >> well, i think it's the reason he's in jail. i think there was a press pile on. the press was really only with a couple exceptions, one was you, geraldo, jumped on a pile on on this narrative that has been hatched by mark that here was a kennedy cousin who because of his privilege got away with murder. there was only two problems. first of all, mark got this idea from dominic dunn that wrote a book saying michael, not tommy -- >> michael's older brother. >> yeah. dominic dunn went across the country and on all the talk shows. michael was never suspect. he was a 15-year-old kid at the time with an airtight alibi. it was only after mark got involves and dominic dunn gave him the story. he was in a position where he couldn't -- for five years he couldn't now

kennedy it's an incident still surrounded by questions that many americans are trying to answer one of the filmmakers made the best attempt to put the disparate pieces together for a time academy award winning director all over stone now he's commemorating the canby anniversary by rereleasing has epic film j.f.k. and an ultimate director's cut the collector's edition also includes a segment from oliver stone's showtime series the untold history of the united states a film adaptation of the joint book authored by stone and historian her cousin that take a look. if the word go forth from this time and place to friend and foe alike. that the torch has been asked to a new generation of americans. is murder three the torch was passed back to an old generation the generation of johnson nixon ford and reagan leaders who would. systematically destroyed the promise of kennedy's last year as they returned the country to war and repression joins me now to discuss j.f.k. and their five year long project over stone excellent to have you thank you so much all or i want to start with you it's clear t

we have to do this for president kennedy.y it would be have triumphed, to important a movement, central to america. it was clear by the end of his life john kennedy was having a devil of a time get the civil rights bill through congress. i'm not certain he could have done it, certainly not in the timeframe johnson did. >> could president kennedy's private life ever have survived in the current media environment? >> in that media environment absolutely not. unimaginable john and jacqueline would go to walter cronkite and say as in "60 minutes," which means he and his brother worked to keep that private life out of public sphere. on that his presidency would have rested. had it been exposed, i don't see and historians i talk to can't imagine how he would survive that. that's what my alternate history goes into at some length. >> we appreciate you visiting and sharing some of those stories. thanks so much. >> thank you. >>> in other headlines making news today, two americans who have been kidnapped by pirates after their ship wa

drunk that he forgot from the day before that kennedy didn't drink. they dislike one another intensely but the war was over. there had been an intense suffering, and churchill said the kennedy, he held out his hand and he said, i'm so sorry for your loss. joe, jr. had died during the war, and churchill was sincere. and he said to churchill, what good was it all? and churchill looked at him, and believing, world war ii had destroyed, and churchill's "mein kampf" hitler and mussolini and the dick daters. it had saved democracy. it had saved western civilization, so churchill thought. and kennedy blazed hatred at him. >> booktv is the only national television network devoted to nonfiction books every weekend, and this fall we are marking 15 years of booktv on c-span2. .. >> c-span, created by america's cable companies in 1979,ro

kennedy it's all next on politicking. for the politicking with larry king our guest the former at the pentagon this is minnesota an old friend jesse ventura he was host and executive producer of conspiracy theory with jesse ventura that was on tuesday is a best selling author and his new book is they killed our president sixty three reasons to believe that was the fist spare seat to assassinate j.f.k. i know a lot about this and i'll get to that a little later but first some current things what are you thoughts on what's been going on in washington with shutdowns and debt ceilings i think i think the shutdown is pathetic larry i think that here's my big question since the government shutdown now let's keep track of the number of days we should now have to pay taxes then should we good idea jesse you know if they shut the government down then there we should lose our tax obligation because what are we paying for this is something i don't stand we passed a health care bill you know the supreme court said it's the law you kn

capital at the memorial for president kennedy. jackie kennedy didn't lame the city of hate. she didn't blame dallas. she didn't blame the conservatives. she didn't lame the right wing. in fact the night of the assassination when she was at bethesda naval hospital awaiting the autopsy and the embalming of the president she said to her mother, i can't believe it was just a silly little communist. he didn't even have the satisfaction of dying for civil rights. but you are right. for years people blamed dallas as the city of hate. the political divisiveness that somehow killed kennedy. >> if i could ask one final question because it ties in with the lincoln books as well. i remember one of the first things after the four days had passed was hearing as a schoolchild the similarities between the kennedy assassination and lincoln. it goes on and on and i'm just wondering if all those things were in fact true or what you discovered about that and also he thought about writing a book. everybody in this room that is about this age has a very distinct memory as you set up what happened

and so that's -- this is kennedy's task. it was the liberal project of the early 1960s. how do you update liberalism when you don't have a depression, and josef stalin is dead? the wilderness years of american liberals from really 1965, 1966 through the age of reagan, liberals lost faith in the american project. i mean, that's just how i would sum it up. and it's understandable. i mean, the tunnel multiof the civil rights era, watching your own countrymen and country women beat african-americans in the street and beat civil rights activists in the street, and watching on television the horrors of vietnam, you know, a war that lyndon johnson himself never wanted, that the american people never wanted. i mean, those two seminal events so enrage liberals, and understandably so, that they begin to question the basic fairness and decency of their own country. and i argue that american liberals in sum, not all, begin to have a more radical critique of american society than what franklin roosevelt had or john kennedy had. instead of, you know, piecemeal reform they, you know, t

kennedy. we were catholic. knowing that was going to be a big part of this election, could he break the religious barrier? i never thought there was a barrier. my home town, everybody worked in coal mines. my father and grandfather had a grocery and furniture store. everybody made about the same amount of money. there was no class that i knew of that i could recall. i never thought religion was a problem. my methodist or baptist friends or whatever, we were all the same. in any way, that was a big thing. i would never forget. one night we were watching the news and they were talking about if john kennedy got elected, the pope would run the country. i looked at my mom and said, i do not think they know the catholics that we know. with that being said, that was put to rest. my uncle became a big part of the john f. kennedy entourage. he was big. him and teddy were friends. he says, brother jimmy, you are in charge of little brother teddy to make sure he has the oratorical skills. these are in some of the books if

and equality johnson passed that right but kennedy started it all and so that ticked off the south so who killed him down with the end he also after the bay of pigs said he was going to break the cia into a thousand pieces and he fired their top three guys allen dulles so the cia was pissed at him kennedy had more enemies within his administration that he had in the rest of the world or that is soviets he was actually do you know he was back channel communicating with nikita khrushchev and they were going to end the cold war by sixty five i never heard of that whole read my book i'm going to read it after the fact though anything can come up with a conspiracy like obama's hated today gets more death right where secret service guy told me they get more death threats for all bomb of than all presidents combined they deal with it every day so if he's killed you're going to have a conspiracy of who i really are i mean well it's so easy to come up with this yes yeah but it's but but when you come up with a patsy like oz wald larry he couldn't make the shots impossible i show in the book no

kennedy. when kennedy proposed have a medicare program, the radio announcers came on the air, hundreds of stations across the country, millions of listeners, telling them this idea will lead to government death panel. it will make the president of medical dollar which is a russian word, czar with life or death power over every american citizen. finally to answer your question, when you have this kind of antipathy we saw in dallas, we wanted to embarrass ourselves and our readers in that environment as much as possible which is why we made that decision. >> i was going to ask but you lead me to. there was a recent blocker for the new yorker who identified the continuity of beliefs between 1963 as you described and the present. i feel that is why the audience is laughing a little bit. hy was wondering if these ideas about the continuity of the leaf and some of the extreme radicals being connected with senators and congressmen and multimillionaire's resonated with you. and i got my biggest laugh,

i'm a kennedy. and you look at the kennedy history. patrick kennedy congressman 2006 crashed into a barrier on capitol hill. nothing happened. not prosecuted for driving drunk. ted kennedy never stood trial of course for the death of mary jo kopechne at chappaquidic. william kennedy smith acquitted of rape. >> i would say with respect to mary jo kopechne the kennedys got special treatment there. that was a different time, back in a different age. the other cases you're talking about, the william kennedy smith case, which was the rape case in florida, one of the first big cases to be televised by the way and i covered it. the evidence in that case was very very weak. i wasn't surprised by the acquittal. let's turn to this shocking case. are they getting special treatment here? >> special treatment or not for michael skakel? >> i don't think so. because the case against michael skakel was always very very weak. remember, he wasn't tried until 27 years after the murder. he was 15 at the time the murder took place. i think in 1975 he was c

kennedy have died on november 22nd, 1963? well, there are thousands of people who had some piece of the decision to do something that affected, for instance, there were people in dallas who argued against having a motorcade. there were other people who argued in washington, against kendall going to texas at all on this political -- kennedy going to texas at all. what if i hadn't done this? that is one of those stories. >> it is calls from the perspective of the newspaper writer. how much in the real world do you know have these agents been tormented by that? >> first let me say that part of the story is completely fictional in terms of the agent. it is the story of this agent who made my story a fiction story. and it drove him -- it drove him to a state of depression, what would now be called ptsd. one of the reasons i finally earned up deciding to write this book was that i did know that there were million secret service agents involved in that trip. some of them in dallas some of them elsewhere and many of them suffered var

kennedy's experience of the cuban missile crisis that made john f. kennedy look good. so bush brought in ted kennedy and ended up working together on the no child left behind law. they were able to get that past the majority. >> who was on the record? >> he would not watch movies with robert mitchum in them because he had been arrested for marijuana possession. he would try to sneak movies with mitchum by eisenhower. when mitchum got up on the screen, eisenhower would walk out. when jimmy carter who watched 480 movies since being president, the most of any president he did it in one term, he told fishe he wanted to watch family friendly fair in the white house. and fisher's reaction was think about it, this is late '70s, was you're not going to be able to see many movies that way. he was right. >> where do you find the information? where does mr. fisher keep it? >> all of the nixon movies are on-line. some of the others aren't fully available. >> the list of all of the movies. >> i'm sorry. >> the list of a all of the movies are easily accessible. the rest require a lo

that's not the john kennedy who went to dallas.cuban missile crisis, having learned to be skeptical about military assurances of what we knew and how, having thought the french were foolish to try to hold on to their empire, my sense is he would have been very -- and he was. even though he did put military troops, even though his administration clumsily and half-assedly -- >> you said it, not me, brother. >> it's cable, it's cable. signed off on a coup that made up more committed. all the evidence i can find is he would have been very reluctant. you never would have had a situation where president kennedy would have gone on television and say forthrightly, we can't win this war. he would have kind of backed out, in my view. >> i was saying to jeff earlier, what i think he's done is very important. a lot of historians shy away from what is often called counterfactual or what-if history. ic i think that's a mistake. if you engage in that thought scenario, it allows you to think of the roads not taken, the missed opportunities, which

kennedy and indeed, the wider kennedy family who clearly share this view?you know, i don't believe that robert kennedy came to the trial very much. he wasn't very interested in it at that time, evidently. anyway, he -- i think he can say whatever he wants to but you cannot erase what was said at the first trial. and you know, another thing, i wonder -- you know how much money the state of connecticut has spent on these appeals that michael skakel has made? every appeal cost the state of connecticut money. and i hate to think that i'm going to now have to be calling on appeals because i don't want to cost the state of connecticut any money. they have done so much for me already. i feel very blessed. >> but you mrs. moxley, never had a shred of doubt in your mind that michael skakel was the person that killed your daughter? >> once we knew who it was, once we had the proof, i have not had one bit of doubt, no, absolutely not. it took us a long time, you know. it took us 27 years to find and convict him. so it wasn't that we rushed to judgement on this. we --

kennedy is making as well. but let me go back to you, mr. kennedy, for a second. you say you know who actually committed the murder of martha moxley. and do authorities, people who are investigating this, do they have some of the same information that you have? >> the police officer investigating this was the one really responsible -- there was a group of people responsible for orchestrating the conviction of michael skakel. one of them was mark ferman, the other dominic dunn, both writers. and the third was frank garr who was what i would call a crooked police officer who was just dogged in his determination to put one of the skakels in jail and who dug up evidence from people who were absolutely incredible. since i published an article i think in 2003 "the atlantic monthly" about the case after the trial. after that i was contacted by pun of the people by a man named toby bryant who's actually a cousin of the basketball player, kobe bryant. and tony bryant told me that he was there the night of the murder, that he brought to greenwich the two men who murdered ma

kennedy, senator kennedy will be the next president of the united states.oumacher: kennedy won with a margin so narrow that people still argue over what tipped the balance. but nixon had no doubt. he blamed the recession of 1960 for costing him the election. historians still argue over the significance of the recession of 1960 but economists at the time were convinced that the budget surplus cost the economy jobs and growth by keeping dollars in the hands of the government rather than consumers. had eisenhower been willing to end his presidency with a deficit he might have presented his successor with more growth and the prospect of even larger surpluses in the future. we asked economic analyst richard gill to explain why economists might be opposed to budget surpluses. i've already pointed out that the federal interest payments and the national debt itself were falling all through the 1950s as a percentage of our national income. thus there seemed no urgent reason to try for a budget surplus at this time. more significantly the predominant keynesian view o

kennedy. we we had a picture john f. kennedy. and so we had a picture john f. kennedy. they saw him murdered and then i saw another good catholic, robert f. kennedy. they saw hippies in the movement and drugs. it was such a time in the united states when martin luther king was assassinated, and they saw the national guard on our streets in the city of chicago. i think my dad time is that it's time to go back to the mountains of puerto rico, a place that is safer so i can finish up raising the children. >> the most interesting thing is because you grow up in a puerto rican neighborhood companies thought of yourself as puerto rican. but then they see you as american. there's a great hurry here. your class. he got attacked talk to this girl and you introduce yourself and she says the inside the gringo is bothering me. pushy talking about me? all of a sudden you go to puerto rico in puerto rico in 90 where the gringo. how do you deal with that? >> guest: it was very, very difficult. it was a very painful time. i used to think that adolescent was the science of pain.
