they were for kennedy. , kennedy -- kennedy, who felt constrained. perhaps president trump's less likely to make them with regard to ukraine or the baltics. he has not thrown down any marker when it comes to u.s. domestic policy. it is is your to see him doing so with north korea or iran. given his lack of rhetorical discipline, his disdain for convention, and his freewheeling use of new media, it is more likely than not that he will deliver this type of ultimatum before long. arguably, he may calculate the political cost of doing so differently than kennedy. these lessons from the missile crisis are particularly relevant for crisis situations. they underline the importance of cultivating relationships more broadly. while u.s.-russian relationship -- i would hope the purchase of diplomacy of enhancing one's capacity for empathy is one we associate with kennedy in the missile crisis. on the matter of combining diplomacy with force, it competently narrative the heroic , narrative that we have heard for a while. to acknowledge khrushchev agreed to pack

kennedy did. on playing for time and keeping the conversation going, these lessons from the missile crisis are particularly relevant for crisis situations. though they're suggestive of the value of maintaining contact and of cultivating relationships more broadly. jaw-jaw is better than wawa as churchill is ladies and gentlemen of the juried -- alleged to have said. which pre-and post dates the cold war, i would hope the virtues of diplomacy, enhancing one's capacity for empathy, another quality that we associate with kennedy and the missile crisis, would commend themselves to leaders on both sides. finally on the matter of combining that diplomacy with force, it certainly complicates the narrative, the heroic narrative, if you will, that we've heard for awhile. to acknowledge that khrushchev had agreed to pack up the missiles and ship them home before hearing that jfk was willing to make the missile trade that khrushchev called for on the 12th day of the missile crisis. that shouldn't negate the

kennedy did. and kennedy's thinking was we must engage to give the russians a sense that if they choose diplomacy over militarized conflict that something good will come out of it. so in 1961, without having access to the internal discussions of the -- because the cia never penetrated. kennedy's deep sense of politicia politicians led him to make a different call than degull. i'll give you an aside on kennedy and then we'll move to khrushchev. if you understand the way kennedy thought about foreign or domestic leaders, read "profiles encouraged" even though kennedy didn't write the final draft, i don't believe, it represents his thinking about power. and kennedy was all about understanding the interests and incentives that shaped politicians decision making. and what he did was projected that on the soviet leadership and projected it on france and every leader he dealt with. he assumed they had interests and if you can change the incentive structure you might alter the way they acted on their inte

kennedy kennedy: another speech brings another excuse. hillary clinton blaming misogyny for her 2016 election loss. i will ask dennis miller if giving out free beer at the super bowl parade is the best idea. we have more memos and we know the process for obtaining wiretaps is more secret than colonel sanders special sauce. political hacks describing a fisa warrant application for their own gain is see unsatisfying. that's like someone describe the juicy scene after naughty movie. it doesn't have the same effect. what is pornographic is the lack of oversight and they approve 99.9% of them. and they also receive no oversight. it doesn't matter who scores 90s this useless back and forth between house intelligence committee members. we all lose when power can be so brazenly abused only to be award with more power and less pushback. let, bring a little heat to this rubber stamp tap factory that is proving to be so problematic and laughably unsafe. let's start it. i'm kennedy. the "new york times" is asking the foreigning tell jones surveillanc

kennedy: thank you so much, judge.f you watched the state of the union you probably noticed a lot of republicans cheering and democrats sneering. but the most divisive line was the president's plan for dreamers. president trump: a single immigrants can bring in virtually an unlimited number of distant relatives. under our plan we focus on the ned family. kennedy: did you hear that booing? one ideas did the president get -- what ideas did the president get right and which ideas did he get wrong. jemele green and anthony fisher is back. welcome, everyone. chris, i will start with you. what was the best part of the speech for you? >> when he brought up the north korean man who escaped. anyone can condemn north korea. but he didn't just condemn them. he said his tormenters wanted to know if he met any christians. he had and after that he resolved to be free. christians and north koreans had a way to fight back. then he student and held up his crutches. kennedy: there were people who were moved to tears. so there had to hav

welcome to the show, i'm kennedy. we'll have more on the sheriff in just a moment, as well as reports police didn't let emts into the school. president trump suggests raising the minimum age for buying all guns, but the nra says no deal. but pressuring congress to act with a sensible way to protect kids. joining me now, kentucky congressman thomas massie. you have put forward legislation to dismantle those gun-free zones that were targeted in 1990. tell me about your approach to the debate. >> all my colleagues have disingenuous proposals for stopping school shootings. they know their solutions won't work. i have got a solution i have been proposing for five years. i introduced it every congress. it's called the safe schools act. it would repeal the gun-free zone act of 1990. 98% of mass public shootings happen in a gun-free zone. don't we want our children in the 2% safe area? kennedy: you do, but i think the worry for a lot of people -- forcing -- of course you want kids to be safe. and we have to take a real look a

kennedy: and jeff bezos.nk about other ways we talked about getting the government out of the epa or the faa or tsa. and how much waste and proud gets exposed when private enterprise can out lights the resources they have available. kennedy: if you have billionaires jockying for position and coming up with technologies to out maneuver each other, it gets us that much closer to flying cars. >> i love the "set sons" show i grew up watching on my parents' bedroom floor. they are also coming here from reports i read. kennedy: we'll need a bored wall in space. if you look at the fact we can take an uber shuttle from mars to which would probably be a lot of money. that's experience alone sounds like a great time to me. kennedy: if jeff bay zeens elon musk wants to create faster planes to get us from new york to l.a. in 45 minutes. i'm all for it. because you spent billions of dollars. doesn't mean you will have to keep doing that when the private sector can do it bert and cheaper. as the old saying goes, the road t

kennedy: and pay taxes.y is so liberal peter tiel is seek asee you legal in los angeles. he supported president trump in the 2016 election. his primary home investment firm is going to the l.a. he's considering stepping down from the board at facebook. that position he has held since 2005. and that's over political continues with duck and other board members. why is there so much political bias. >> i read that, he's going to l.a.? l.a.? >> where were you from california? kennedy: i weren't too ucla. >> so you hate america. kennedy: no, i don't. i love it. there are liberty-minded people, but they have to whisper to each other because they want to work. if you are outspoken about your views and you don't have a bunch of billions of dollars. >> i think he's a fascinating guy. >> it takes 45 minutes to fly from northern california to l.a.? >> who would have thought. >> i think media other than tech. >> i don't think this whole environment will last long in hollywood. they continue to eat their own. if you disag

kennedy: thank you, judge. >> you're welcome. kennedy: great panel. kennedy: they are.ill president trump, he does seem to be head over heels for the author, tweeting, representative nunes, a man of tremendous courage and grit may some day be recognized as a great american hero. should the president bud up with nunes. going to my top-secret party panel, they have all been frisked. matt welch. than hayworth in thank you. kennedy: let's discuss, the judge say, nunes did not read the intelligence that memo was based on, like writing a book report and not reading a read. >> right. >> i had low expectations for congressman nunes, he went lower this week. i don't think this is a serious attempt to look at how we do fisa. there is a conversation to be had, how we do it and approved in secret, and how public can know more about that process. this was not it, this is an attempt to claim russia investigation is somehow tainted because of that fisa warrant. i was happy to hear people like trey gowdy come out this weekend, and say, the mueller invest tbeag iinvestigation is d serio

i'm "kennedy." the 2018 race is about to heat up. when it does, republicans will be touting the tax cuts. democrats will say it's all smoke and mirrors. but come election day, who will win the argument? lisa boothe is here as well as the coo of asset management and "reason" magazine editor at large matt welch is in the house. you say democrats are too stupid to capitalize on a proper tax message fun it is the right one. >> correct. what they hit on when this was being past, it was this is going to hammer the middle class and pay higher taxes. we live in a high tax state and that's the narrow sliver of people, i think we'll pay a little bit necessary taxes, too in is almost nobody who is going to pay for taxes. as soon as people discover that's not true. kennedy: i'm getting a bigger refund than i thought? >> we are going to go back to trillion dollar deficits under unified republican government. that's dangerous and irresponsible and it could hurt the economy later. but right now what people see, they are getting a crack. >> the dems

kennedy: limits move on.t ties into the the same conversation about joe biden with having no new candidates or new ideas. >> maybe he should run for president in 2020. >> i think he's completely legitimate in doing this. i support his right to do it. but what i want to highlight about this conversation, social media is so integrated into every part of our lives, and the metrics by which businesses, corporate influencers measure any influence they have that him defriending facebook and encourage o other people to do o won't gain traction. it shows how the much influence and power facebook has. it's far beyond politics. we can never flush ourselves out of it. if. kennedy: i want to thank you, party panel. this was a great way toned our week. liberal california is moving even further left with more progressive candidates. antonio sabato, jr. is running for congress as a california republican and he oh, manatees. aka "the sea cow"" oh! there's one. manatees in novelty ts? surprising. what's "come at me bro?" it's

i'm "kennedy." nancy pelosi today held an event in san francisco where she doubled down on her criticism of the gop tax cuts. >> what we are trying to do is have a give and take with the community about how these budget -- this tax scam which is a rip-off of the middle class, a gift to the highest as 83% goes to the top 1%. oh, my gosh, how unconscionable. kennedy: is she really that out of touch? joining me, senior editor at the federalist, mollie hemingway. in very called this tax bill unpatriotic. democrats are trying to frame the discussion in a different light. because they would like to piggyback on the success the tax cuts might provide while offering better solutions for middle class earners. mollie: democrats had a plan to fight the tax bill by saying that the bill was insignificant. and people didn't support the plan until they saw the increases in their weekly and monthly paychecks that can lead up to thousands of dollars a year. all of a sudden this tax reform package is quite popular. d

i'm "kennedy."he president unveiled his infrastructure plan during a meeting with state and local officials earlier today. president trump: $1.5 to $1.7 trillion investment in infrastructure. we'll have a lot of public-private. it will gets done on time and on budget. it will speeded the approval project from 10 years to two years and maybe even one year. kennedy: does the plan have any chance in congress? ron desantis, welcome to the show. a stated like florida benefits from this. your tax system is structured in such a way that it's still inviting to businesses. it seems like states with favorable tax environments will have better roads because they are doing a better job. >> you are rewarding good behavior. he brought up what he did in new york city with the ice skating rink in the 80s. millions of dollars they flushed down the tubes. several years they had no rink that could work. he took it over and in three months he had it done under budget. the reason or infrastructure is bad isn't because w

kennedy: we do. it's a matter of whether these loosely connected figures and points create a ladder to the white house. if it doesn't, what a phenomenal waste of time. >> manafort would say -- but the down side is, an unaccountable special counsel materially interfering with the president's ability to govern. when will this end? i don't think this will end this year. i think more indictments will come. if they try manafort, the country will be captivated on it. kennedy: pressure continues to you build on politicians to strengthen gun laws. will any of that make schools safer? are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher

," kennedy. also, dagen mcdowell, fox news contributor jessica tarlov, and joining us on the couch today, conservative commentator and editor in chief of campusreform.org, maurice jones. he is "outnumbered." a pretty serious and somber day to be here. lawrence jones. >> lawrence: this is going to require honesty on all sides of this debate. i believe every side is going to have to give a little bit. >> melissa: good for you. we are getting troubling new information about the teenager who is now confessing to the crime. a 19-year-old nikolas cruz was ordered held without bond yesterday. his public defender describing him as an "broken human being," at least 1,000 people attended a candlelit visual where authorities say he opened fire on valentine's day, killing 14 teenagers and three adults. their friends and neighbors sobbing last night as the victim's names read aloud. >> it's good to be together on this night. some of my friends won't get to see their brothers and sisters ever again. it's one o

indians' of those closest to the case in this case that would be robert kennedy jr and bobby kennedy's son who has gone on record two years ago surrounds last parole hearing saying he wanted the case reopened on the strength of the audio forensic evidence in this case i'm paul scrapes who was very very close friend of bobby kennedy who was walking eight feet behind him in the night is choosing i was talking to had he believes by spirit and he has tried to reopen the case for over forty five years because now ninety three years old he was actually you know probably in all probability shocked by star hunt on that night and he believed and did not kill his close friend bobby kennedy so if you have people of that caliber believing that it is to be a i don't i reopened investigation and that surround was not responsible for killing bobby kennedy and i think you know they california authorities in favor of the federalists our authorities did pay some attention to that rather than just chasing after you know who the gunman was at this stage if they're still alive and who may have paid for the

bobby kennedy fell three shots were fired into kennedy's body and it seemed an open and shut case that certain was apprehended and certain was the when he killed him. but i think the strongest for us forensic test meeting we have today is the audio recording of the gunshots which at the time because it was recorded on a cassette tape in a portable by a portable tape recorder by a police reporter it wasn't seen as of any forensic value by the police when they first examined it because they didn't have the technology to analyze it as it's a fairly poor recording and to analyze it to the degree that it's been on ice in recent years so they couldn't establish that there were shots on the tape at the time but a recent analysis by phil van praag has established the thirteen shots were fired so i think that's the strongest evidence that we have that there were two shooters involved also the body position. in relation to kennedy and what the autopsy tells us about where the killer was when he far that is. in the interview on kennedy's right ear the that the contrast the conflict between surrou

kennedy: you are part of -- rep. kennedy: you are part of our story. we will fight for you. we will not walk away. [cheers and applause] rep. kennedy: america, we carry that story on our shoulders. you swarmed to washington last year to ensure that no parent has to worry if they can afford to save their child's life. you probably marched together last weekend. marched together last weekend. thousands in the streets of las vegas, philadelphia, nashville. you sat high atop your mom's shoulders and held a sign that read "build a wall and my generation will tear down." [applause] rep. kennedy: you bravely said, "me, too." you steadfastly say "black lives matter." you wave through floodwaters, battle hurricanes, brave wildfires and mudslides to save a stranger. you battle your own quiet battle every single day. you drag your weary bodies to that extra shift so that your families will not feel the sting of scarcity. you leave loved ones at home to defend our country overseas. you patrol our neighborhoods at night. you serve, you rescue, you help, you heal. that more than any law o

kennedy car closer to the front. boy, that was one of the most remarkable days in my professional career, seeing people lined up out the door and waiting for an hour or more to spend a few minutes with that car, they left flowers, cards, notes. it shows how these are real physical tangible links to our m memories and personal experiences. that's what makes these cars so special. >> you can watch this and other american artifacts programs by visiting our website at c-span.org/history. >>> join us saturday at 9:30 a.m. eastern on american history tv on c-span3 at the american civil war museum in richmond, virginia for live coverage on the civil war's impact on americans. speakers include peter car michael, james robertson, author of "the untold civil war," and amy morell taylor. at 8:00 p.m. on lectures in history, from the georgetown university law center, guest speaker thomas west talks about his book "the political theory of the american founding". >> in a republican form of government, namely based on consent, elec

kennedy: i agree.e need to do so inch this country in terms of entitlement reform, and we can have intelligent discussions on how best to spend money supporting men and women in uniform and maybe their aspects of military spending. but in the meantime we have to take a look because both parties are burying their heads, looking the other way, and we are look at an even greater debt share. >> i don't think so. i think the tax cuts are going to raise revenues. if we get the growth rates much anything like i think we'll get in 2018, 2019 -- kennedy: what do you think we'll get? >> above 4%. we had the dip quarter because people were postponing their income waiting for the tax cut. kennedy: i would love to see that. i would love for to us start and continue the year with that kind of growth. >> i think you will be very happy. i think the long-term growth rates for the next two years will be 3.5, 4% growth and that will bring down debt to gdp ratio quite substantially. but then you get your hands around spen

kennedy: so will the freedom caucus.y want a piece of spending legislation that doesn't equate to every month or so screaming holy under wear and running through the aisles of such a sacred institution. kennedy: i don't know what you call it, but i think something is wrong with the system. we are getting unnecessarily dramatic. we'll see how this one ends, chris stirewalt. >> that's an evergreen tweet right there. kennedy: nobody sought shut down in super bowl 52. the game set records for yardage, burning cars and smashed store fronts. tom brady all but sealed the win. the phillies fans were flagged for unsportsman like conduct conduct. the party panel is a back. welcome back, everyone. let's talk about some of the highs and lows of the game. what did you love about the game? >> i love the horse-puppy incident. they knew they had to couple something. them already greased the height poles so we can't -- the light poles so we can't climb them. but then you say that's not going to be enough. kennedy: you remember a fan punc

i am kennedy. here today, trish regan, the editor of townhall.com, katie pavlich. a strategist on fox news contributor, lisa boothe. and joining us today on the couch, fox news politics editor and the editor of the "halftime report, chris stirewalt. >> chris: finding my center space, my happy space. it's presidents' day. >> kennedy: it is presidents day, it should be a light, fluffy holiday. much news to get to, let's kick it off. growing questions about russian influence in the 2016 election, special counsel robert mueller indicts 13 russians. they are accused of undermining our democracy and trying to help then candidate donald trump win. president trump firing off a series of tweets at the announcement including one saying "i never said russia did not meddle in the election. i said it may be russia or china or another country or it may be a 400-pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer. the russian hope was if the trump campaign colluded with russia, it never did. and another ranking democrat on the house until committee saying "now that adam sch

jacqueline kennedy it was no conspiracy. jacqueline kennedy picked it and came in the next day as her husband's coffin was laying in the east room and she had to leave she stayed in the white house just two more weeks never returned until 1971 when president nixon had her privately to look at the portraits that were being unveiled. she never went back because it was too painful. what is fascinating to see that on that day in daniel patrick moynihan who turned out to be a great senator looked into the oval that day it is if anyone knew person was coming in. now lincoln and kennedy don't have that much in common. but they were gifted or chores and gifted with their words but the one thing that i find interesting is they both had an eerie fascination with death and being assassinated. lincoln of course had a dream where he went to ford's theater it was a nightmare and in the nightmare he heard crying and wailing so he would go downstairs and find a body with an open casket in the east room. whose body? who died? it's the presid

i think of the kennedy car being a favorite. it represents two worlds of presidenti presidential tran presidential transport. after the as is nation rebuilt into a armored -- is steel plating and to protect from grenades. we have to start thinking about protection for our president spts it is surprising that it took that long and tragic to have that realization happen. it seems to be that for a time we thought these were abstractions that people would not harm the president and it couldn't happen again and unfortunately, it did. i would pick that one and i also do like sunshine special because it is so associated with president roosevelt. and he loved that car very much. he enjoyed riding in it. and insisted on the top being down. they thrived off of interaction with the crowd. they loved to reach out and shake hands. they wanted to feel connected with the public. both cars are associated with those leaders. our presidential limousines are a permanent exhibit here. all of them with the exception of the kennedy car been on the fl

so the two made a perfect match, president kennedy and this vehicle. now, of course everything about the car changed after november 22, 1963 when the president was assassinated. there had been a roof for the vehicle like the one we saw on the earlier 1950 lincoln, bubble top, just acrylic that would protect from weather, snow, rain, wouldn't provide any protection from weapons. of course the car was in convertible that day in dallas. after the assassination, it went back to the white house, documented what they needed to for evidentiary purposes. after that, the car was sent back to its modifiers, in cincinnati to be completely rebuilt as an armored vehicle. and people are always astounded to think this car was put back into service after the assassination. you would assume either it was destroyed or perhaps locked away in aware house somewhere. but no the simple fact is the president need today haed to ha vehicle. president johnson. and there wasn't time to go back to the drawing board so the most efficient thing to do was rebuild the car. they stripp

is also in a book called the kennedy detail.an amazing story that very few people know of. just incredible the day after then there are other civilian stories about the presidency and the mansion we could talk all day but i did want to talk briefly about our current president donald trump we have been talking a lot, did i hear something? [laughter] we have been talking about history but in terms of the future and what we can learn from the past and what it might suggest about president trump. i will tell you something that i think is much more valuable and objective and what history tells us about trump and we will start by looking at the polls. so to be in this bipartisan world they have one or two poles they call them fake news is the term. the only fair way is to take all polls. and to be one aggregate number. and then to aggregate them together with 42.1% of the nation approves of president trump, 53.3% do not. they are all average together which is fair and decent decent way to look at this. so for what they tell us one way

he is a kennedy friend. - yeah, a kennedy friend. i mean there's the real history, and then there's what we tried to characterize in the movie. and paul markham, the character i was portraying, was very much an instrument to show how alluring being part of the kennedy clan was. and so in the movie, paul markham my character, finally gains entry into this camelot kind of world of being part of the kennedy group. but by getting sucked in, he has to then participate in this coverup, which is-- - right, 'cause it's markham and it's cousin joey, who's played by ed helms. - yes. - who gets the call from kennedy, who's played by jason clarke. - yes. - jason clarke, i remembered. i was looking at jason clarke. i was watching the movie thinking, where have i seen this guy, and i remembered him from zero dark thirty, but he's actually done quite a lot of stuff since-- - he's done a lot of stuff. - since then. so markham and cousin joe get a call from kennedy, and then the next day they're actually upset among other things, at the fact that he
