kennedy was a smart guy. he thought he could explore bringing cuba back into the western orbit and he wanted to see what could be done. we had no department of peaceful directory we only had a department of dirty tricks. the issue was how do you do this? what mechanism? it was too sensitive to have an open meeting with fidel castro. how did you do this? the answer became through the man who was negotiating the release of the bay of pigs prisoners. james donovan, a famous new york lawyer. he conducted what kissinger would call shuttle diplomacy. he kept flying back-and-forth meeting with castro, starting in the early fall of 1962, a break in the action during the missile crisis, and a flurry of shuttle diplomacy in 1962 which resulted in a trade of $62 million of food and medicine for the actual prisoners. at the moment that the prisoners are being loaded onto a series of planes, the cia called o'donovan said we have three agents in castro's jails from the technical services division. they are planting eavesdr

kennedy, mills didn't budge. at the end of 1964, once again the bill is dead. after the 1964 election when liberal democrats that came back to washington, many of the new members ran on medicare platforms. mills new he lost. and in december already before congress even needs be said i'm going to let this through, i'm going to put it up for a vote. in the first months of 1965 he actually helped shape the bill and create something bigger than president kennedy for president johnson had ever imagined. it's really i think an instructive story about elections are capable especially in this case, of changing legislative behavior. and the flip side of the story is in the 1966 midterm election, that conservative coalition of southern democrats and republicans regained their power. there's a backlash against a lot of the racial programs, including open housing bill. there's a lot of unrest about vietnam. many conservatives are saying vietnam is a disaster because johnson isn't tough enough because he isn't willing to bomb

it was when kennedy jumped in and 68 and then he relented upon kennedy's death. reagan was a very religious man. his minister stewart mcburney was one of the half-dozen people present in september of 65 at the kickoff meeting in reagan's home in reagan's career really crystallized. my insight into that relationship comes from a conversation with bill clarke that i had in the late 1981. bill clarke had been serving as deputy secretary of state. he was getting ready to move to the white house to become the national security adviser in december of that year. i was having coffee with bill and the state department conference room. we were just brainstorming. bill, what are you going to do? what is sure to-do list when you get to the white house? well he said without missing a beat i want to remove the communist oversight and i want to for eastern europe from a communist -- from kona's control. well i thought that's an interesting ambition. that's going to be kind of hard to do. how do you plan to do that? he pushed himself back from his table and said we have a secret

kennedy is complex. and then with the rules committee alexy democrat from virginia is a tory is for that legislation and the entire coalition was almost every measure he could talk all day he would not change their vote with the last time a civil rights but to do a timeline with the birmingham project with the march on washington, as that happened kennedy does send the bill it gets through the rules committee it looks good in the house that that is the place that changes the dynamics for kennedy. but there is limits to how far that can get you. to have the majority that johnson had in 1965 with medicare but i think it is very significant to a lot of johnson's success. >> you alluded to this earlier indicating that selma was johnson's idea. i want your take on this so johnson supporting the civil rights with the poverty programs i am curious about the dynamics so what were the dynamics of racial politics? but i am curious what is your take a map perspective? >> the sow love movie first let me see this den

do you think that's a message here, kennedy? by the way -- >> actually, in the article -- >> great evaluation. there you go kid. >> what it talked about, and i so want to meet cheryl. i think she's fascinating, some stuff she writes about, particularly with the idea that's in the article with the fact that as women rose in the ranks, they learned that their silence had power because when they did speak up people listened so not only are we going sort of silenced along the way. when we do speak up at least we have some power. who can stay silent? i can't even do it now. >> is it just shut up? in other words you're going to be seen as annoying, problematic, no one is taking you seriously. isn't that more the gist of this? >> i think it's more that women fear they'll be laled the b word or be labelled a diva or something else so they try to keep their thoughts in. i agree with harris, though. that was my tactic in my 20's. a lot of political campaigns were mostly men. i was the only woman at the table and i gained more credibility

she is the daughter of robert f kennedy and ethel kennedy. >> rory kennedy, can you remember when youirst were even aware that there was a vietnam war? >> well, i was 7 when the events took place that we document in the film of the last days of the war, which was 1975. you know, there is not a moment where i remember vietnam, but i feel like it was kind of in the ether of my childhood. it was in my consciousness. i have always felt this is a kind of seminal event in our nation's history, and i was really happy to have the opportunity to revisit vietnam and through this particular story of the final days of the war. >> did you go there at all? >> i never went to vietnam. my intention was to go there. you know, the story that i wanted to tell, from the vietnamese perspective, is about the vietnamese who were left behind and what happened to them. but we were told that, and i did extensive research, that nobody in vietnam would talk to us about this time in history particularly who had been imprisoned or tortured or where, you know, they kind of struggled in the aftermath of the war. tha

. >> in 1960 the nixon/kennedy debate was a first in television. lot of people were watching that night, and it introduced a lot of people to kennedy. >> the tight shot on camera one. >> hear me now speaking. is that about the right tone of voice? >> good evening, the television and radio stations of the united states and their affiliated stations -- >> when the networks offered a debate, kennedy immediately said yes because he was sure he could do better than nixon. >> i think mr. nixon is an effective leader of his party. i hope he would grant me the same. the question before us is which point of view and which party do we want to lead the united states. >> mr. nixon, would you like to comment on that statement? >> i have no comment. >> if you are live on television and there is a camera right here there is really no place to hide. once you see a guy sweating when asked a question, are you sure he is the leader for you? >> that's the question before the american people and only you can decide what you want. what you want this country to bee, what

before i got on the set i was hoping that piers morgan would bring up ted kennedy and thankfully that moment came. in this video they played they showed mitt romney debating ted kennedy when he challenged for a seat in the '90s and he said he was pro-choice and since then he has changed his position but that didn't stop him from asking me did it make you uncomfortable hearing mitt romney espousing the choice to be pro-choice? and i just responded you know, what made me uncomfortable that at a convention that claims to be fighting the war on women that they would play a blank. >> host: minute video, a tribute to a man who left a woman to drown in his car. [laughter] [applause] after that the panel exploded we cannot bring up chappaquiddick we cannot talk about how all mitt romney bullied a kid when he was 13 but not with ted kennedy. so hilary rosen immediately yelled, and peers market and said my comment was below the belt.

. >> there's a picture called the kennedy legacy and it's kennedy's -- john f. kennedy's hair on a balloon. >> well, at that point, there were things that i didn't think -- kennedy has passed in and out of good deeds, good intentions. there's certainly an -- they're certainly an attractive group, and i say group because it was more than just one kennedy. there was a kind of -- look how wonderfully ted kennedy turned out to be. in my heavy-loaded biased days i would have just written him off and said fascist, some stupid thing like that. >> there are several drawings of henry kissinger. i understand one of them was rejected by a publisher? >> no. by all other than one publication. that is, the nation. in fact, the nation was known as -- among cartoonists that if you really had to try something or you wanted something that would be loaded in political terms, this was the place to go. and so i went there and sure enough, they printed kissinger having sex with the globe, being the head of a woman. and i got a call from the editor, saying dave, i think you ought to c

it wasn't jack kennedy as much as bobby and teddy kennedy that troubled him. he was quite convinced he was going to see in his re-election bid teddy kennedy step forward. he always read people like musky if not mcgovern when they were buying for the nomination and stepping horse might step aside if kennedy came into play. he never lets up until almost the better end in his fascination and no-hold bar and the ongoing investigation of teddy kennedy. i know after the acquittal he realized the prospects of teddy running were certainly minimal but he did everybody he could to collect information about it which happened before i got to the whitehouse, for he would be read. questions from the audience. >> we have a few questions. first one is to rick perlstein. please discuss how much more conservative lakeland was compared to nixon? >> every time i do a talk people say if reagan was around now would they kick him out for being to be liberal. i will be interested to know if john agrees. but politicians have to operate according to the context given them. they don't t

kennedy. 1962, kennedy extended the cuban embargo with the exception of humanitarian aid but not before purchasing 1200 cuban cigars for personal use. then came the cuban missile crisis and the united states and soviet union had a tense stand off over the weapons deployed in cuba. as part of the settlement, the u.s. agreed not to invade. but president kennedy imposed restrictions and preventing u.s. citizens from traveling there. and over the next few days, presidential support for the embargo waxed and waned. >> there is no fresh bread or meat on sale only goods from china and russia. >> the nation was a constant thorn in the side of the u.s. and it lent cuba a romantic mystique. and celebrities in hollywood spoke highly of fidel. and praised the socialized health care system. and bill deblasio travelled to havana for his honeymoon. but no american president from iceeb be hour to george w. bush altered the policy. and then came president obama who promised to transform america. whether or not he succeeded is a judgment call but there is little question now he fundmentally transformed o

kennedy that had been asaws naughted but nikita cruise chaf, what difference would it make to the world? he said i don't think aristotle onassis would have proposed to mrs. khrushchev. [laughter] and that's a sign that all of these things may change. i'll give you an example because it's essential to understanding in the story. because we are here at the museum of american finance i thought i'd concentrate on a single element, and that is how america took over from britain as the ruling country in the world. and it wasn't very pretty actually because america really became the preeminent nation in the world at the time of really world war i. and it was at that time that woodrow wilson tried to encourage america to live up to its responsibilities that went with its wealth and its extraordinary population, to take part in the governance of the world through the league of nationsment and he tried very -- nations. and he tried very hard to encourage congress to pass the treaty that would allow the league of nations to be set up. that, as you will all remember, went terribly wrong. woodrow wi

>> i think part of it is the way the senator kennedy wanted the committee run. he wanted it runs or that there would be some record of a competent, and that meant his favorite thing -- i depict the phrase three words i heard the most from his lips -- "work it out." that was our job. work it out. the first day i got there, he took me to the members of the committee. he said to alan simpson -- great senator from wyoming -- "if you have any problems at the committee, steve is going to be chief counsel. phone him." i felt that i was of course working for senator kennedy, and i was, of course, working for the members of the committee. that is how we ran it. the other thing he said which i have kept in my mind is you work things out by compromise, but a compromise is not, "i'm here you are there, we will see what we can give up to meet in the middle." that's not a compromise. the compromise is we do not agree about something, but we are trying to get together. i listen to what you say. listen. somewhere in this conversation, you'll say something i think is ok, and the

with us today andrea tantaros, host of the brand new show kennedy, kennedy herself. also from fbn, elizabeth macdonald who we lovingly call e. mac and today's #oneluckyguy, charles payne, he is "outnumbered." [laughter] >> hey, by the way, check out the cuff links. sell buy. today it's sell, market's getting hammered. [laughter] kennedy, first time i ever wore them. >> she's such a good gift giver. >> when he launched house of payne on fox business i figured the man needed -- >> and i haven't bought her anything for her new show yet. >> we can't wait to see what you give her. >> it's going to be a surprise for everyone! [laughter] we're one big, happy family. [laughter] >> new york city may have dodged a bullet, and we did, we're grateful. subways have reopened at this point but not so much for 50 miles to the east and beyond. millions of americans are feeling nature's power. a massive blizzard slamming new england and still, also eastern long island. millions of people hunkering down. utility crews in massachusetts in these dangerous conditions are working to repair

it reminds me of when teddy kennedy ran for john kennedy's seat in 1962 and kennedy's opponent.undistinguished guy at this point, ted kennedy. he had barely made the age requirement for senate. his name was edward moore kennedy. they said if his name were edward moore his candidacy could be a joke. you can be helped by your last name or hurt. for bush, he'd certainly be hurt by it. >> his father was revered but it wu the economy that did him in for a second term, and his brother is coming up in the popular opinion polls right now as usually happens to presidents who presidents who come under trouble. you feel the bush name is what tired? people are just tired of it? >> look, it's as if he needs to defend the record of george w. i think it's a defensible one. but it adds a burden onto him that he wouldn't have if his name was jeb smith. he benefits from the network from the donors and all that, i don't deny that. and they might even equal out. but if you're going to the polls and you're going to look at clinton against a bush, you're going to have a sense that this is old, even t

go to you, kennedy left came out with fangs before like sarah palin.ind them to be deeply threating. joni ernst as senator brown pointed out earlier made a lot of history. first woman senator from iowa. has mill day remember -- military member. luke russert? >> he had a layover in the middle of country or visited a hog farm? >> what he is doing he is trying to undercut someone left sees as threat. >> we're taking that too seriously. in his defense he said, you know this is an american story. a year ago she was a pig farmer. look at her, she is on national stage. far be it from me to give in. bc a pass on anything but luke russert? >> he is betraying his own east coast, shellerred upbringing. i really do believe that. having been raised in indiana and oregon, sometimes people like that are very myopic and i think ultraleftists feminists are hypocritical when it comes, i think feminism dies when they apply it >> if you are a republican female you are screwed. you put a woman forward and say she is a sell out. >> social media is going to get people in a l

in the plaza on the day when kennedy was assassinated. after nixon resigned through iran-contra and george bush senior is placed -- >> ronald where were you going. >> i want to compliment john dean for having the guts to say any of this. there is books about how many people have been killed -- >> we were going to lose that caller >> they had howard hunt at daily plaza. i would be amazed if george bush senior was in daily plaza too. there were hundreds of people there. >> how do conspiracy theories like i think ronald was connecting dots there that may or may not be a part of -- how did they begin? >> some of the most aggressive conspiracy theories are pushed pie conspiracy theory writers who are usually flawed and there is never an answer. if you change and show them one true fact they will invent a false fact to replace it. they have too much currency and they are complicit answers to complex problems they are bogus, dissort history and are not healthy for the body of politics. i think they pushed primarily by the people who write about

justice kennedy himself has written about the evolving understanding for equality for gay men and women. even though they would be basing their decision on legal precedent, they would also be looking to the larger, culture social shifts that naturally work their way in. >> beyond justice kennedy, who else should we be paying attention to on the court? who could be a swing vote here? i wonder about justice roberts. >> this question would play into that. the last time we saw the gay marriage dispute version, a modest version of what we have got now in 2013, justice kennedy was with the four liberals. chief justice john roberts was with the conservatives saying no, we want to uphold the federal law that said marriage should be defined as between a man and woman for purposes of federal benefits. but chief justice john roberts has surprised us before. for example, in the obama-sponsored health care law. you know, i think there's a chance that can he go to the other side but, robert, it won't matter. they just need five. >> this is one of the rare cases where both sides wanted the court to ta

. >>> in 1962, when president kennedy's little brother teddy won his first campaign at age 30 and wasted to the united states senate, president kennedy said that night, my god, that's the biggest news in the country. but the president wasn't talking about his little brother's first successful senate campaign. he was talking about another winner that night in massachusetts who was also elected statewide. ed wood brook the third who won the race for attorney general. he became the first black attorney general anywhere in the united states. he did it in a state where only 2% of registered voters were african-americans. after four years, he ran for united states senate and won again, again making history at first black person elected to the united states senate. there's always a footnote that accompanies that fact about ed brooke. and that is during the time during reconstruction, the legislature voted twice to send black senators to washington. ed brooke was the first elected by voters. he had a solid resume, world war ii combat veteran. law school graduate. here's ed brooke making histo

kennedy junior popping out of his father's desk. johnson however, because he wanted to take his furniture back to the presidential library offered instead to use the desk he had as a senator. he used this when he was senate majority leader and use this as fight resident and took it to the oval office when he ascended to the presidency. that is his chair, his telephone, this is his suite of furniture, including the rocking chair that he sat in on meetings. you will recognize that being similar to the rocking chairs john f. kennedy used when he was president. it was done by the same manufacturer. every president gets to choose the portraits he wants to grace his oval office. in president johnson's case, he chose george washington, andrew jackson, and his hero, franklin roosevelt. he was very much a product of the new zealand was a protege of franklin roosevelt saw the great potential in young lyndon johnson. when johnson became president, it was his hope he would finish the new deal and finish with his great society what president roo

for, it was the kennedys. from harvard we know what the president thought of harvard, and he was a liberal. why pick him? why would mine tan, on the other hand -- moynihan, around, choose to go with nixon? nixon was the person most despised by liberal community of cambridge or the upper west side in new york. and in a sense pat was giving up his future in his own party. what had happened however was that he didn't have a future in his own party. in 1965 pat wrote while he was assistant secretary of labor pat wrote a very serious report. he said to the president on the negro family which talked at some length with the pathology of the underclass. it was immediately despised by liberals and, of course, by other important elements in the democratic coalition. so the degree that he was on the outs, he could not possibly have gotten an appointment from lyndon johnson at that time. nor, in fact, would he -- as he points out from hugh better humphrey if hubert humphrey had been elected. so suddenly, if there was ever
