he is kennedys speechwriter. -- kennedy's speechwriter. ted sorensen leaves nebraska and arrives in washington and jack kennedy leaves the house and goes to the senate in 1953. sorensen does not know kennedy. he is interviewing with henry jackson from washington and he is interviewing with jack kennedy. interestingly, the speechwriter is interviewing the senator. ted sorensen was considered so good out of nebraska. he was young, at the time in his early 20's. he is advised to go with jackson , but chooses jack kennedy. there begins an association of 11 years, which i would argue is the most extraordinary partnership between a president and an associate in the history of the modern presidency. there isn't anything that ted sorensen will not do for jfk. he reveres him. he is a master craftsman and a wordsmith. jfk, who himself is a writer and values writers and written, with ted sorensen's help, profiles and courage. he admired writers and called them his friends. he appreciated eloquence and made eloquence and rhetoric a centerpiece of the

kennedy, the kennedy patriarch, to serve his brother.obby did not want to be attorney general in 1961, and joe kennedy said to jack, you will make bobby your attorney general. jack famously introduces him by saying, i see no reason not to give him a little experience for he goes to practice law. he was a wonderful attorney general. they drew on some of the best legal thinkers in america. he is more than a lawyer, and he is more than an advisor to jack kennedy, particularly over these two days. if he was a prime minister on other days, today, he is a field marshal. because, when it comes to handling what is going on in mississippi bobby is executing , the moves through the justice department. one of his trusted colleagues, bach, thekatzen gangly, tall rhodes scholar who appears in pictures towering over george wallace, who george wallace kept in the sun while wallace was in the shade -- they are stage managing everything. that is the kennedy response to wallace. bobby kennedy's following everything on the phone from his office, and there

what specifically did jacqueline kennedy and the kennedys do?well, what happened under harry truman was that for structural reasons, as we saw two weeks ago in your excellent series, the white house had to be gutted and a steel superstructure put inside, eight inches away from the outer walls and that's what's there nowadays. it turned out to be so expensive that there was not much money left to buy furniture, so harry truman made a great deal with b. altman, the department store in new york, to furnish the whole ground floor, the state floor, in bulk, you know, for a pretty good price, with reproductions. jackie got there after the election of 1960, was shown through it by mamie eisenhower. she was aghast. she said it looked like a statler hotel, which she did not mean as a compliment, meaning that it's sort of not very convincing reproductions. so, this mother of two, with other things to think about, took on what was this enormous project of raising a huge amount of money and also getting donations of furniture and art and artifacts. she want

kennedy, not for me, because i still have my husband. think she made a special effort not to imitate in any way some of the projects she is considered, for example, beautifying the mall. lyndon johnson advised her not to do that, because the kennedys had done something similar. she was amazingly absent -- she didn't have envy of anybody. she seemed to consider the kennedys a different generation. i find her amazing in that regard, that she knew that jacqueline kennedy was extremely popular, yesterday she had a lot to offer, too. >> she filled in many times. mrs. kennedy was pregnant, she lost a baby, she wasn't well. a lot of times there were things she didn't want to do, and mrs. johnson filled in. she knew the role well, and she was a quint essential washington political wife. she had been on this scene since the 1930s. she knew it well and she had a cadre of other political lives who were just extraordinary women. they all gathered around her, and that made that -- that also made that transition somewhat easier. >> we should say at th

kennedy. >> kennedy: well, i think if joe biden and barack obama are teaming up, i think it's fair toand look back at the obama administration and how places like the cdc were essentially centralized someone a crisis like this hits, private labs and universities were unable to create their own testing kits which was critical for dealing with the response. they bear some of the responsibility and i wonder touch on something that nancy pelosi said. she is saying that the president single-handedly is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people because of his inaction or his missteps. what that means if one person is not powerful than we've concentrated concentrated way too much power into the presidency. so who is in charge of the legislative branch? nancy pelosi. she's abdicated her power in the past and it's manifesting in the present if her worlds are to be believed and that's incredibly dangerous and irresponsible. >> shannon: 's juan, we have a disaster or crisis it often brings together people. people. we have a photo, china, they've not been honest. they have been busted, no

host of "kennedy" on the fox business network, kennedy herself. niece of dr. martin luther king jr., evangelist, and fox news contributor, alveda king. joining us today, cohost of "the five" and fox news political analyst, juan williams. juan, i will start with you and ask you, there seems to be now a clear acknowledgment and recognition that there is, you know, at least two groups out there. when that is really inciting violence and trying to cause ch, it seems, with civil rights and equal rights, but really is just trying to sow violence. does that sound right to you? >> juan: yeah, i think that we've got here, melissa, is a situation where there are people who were on the ground who have been protesting, an extension of the black lives matter protests, if you will, and now i think they've increasingly been a number of people who come looking for trouble, and looking to stir up trouble. some responding to the presence of the u.s. agents that were put in place by the president, people from i.c.e. and customs and the like, and they are obviously antagonized by

i think that kennedy is onto something.ittle uncomfortable here with the idea of people saying give me my tax dollars back, i would think we need to support public schools, we don't want to destroy that. i have troubles with teachers unions over school choice because i'm a big proponent. i think we do need innovation even if this was a normal time. but i must tell you, i get worried when i sense that we are involved in kind of victim blaming because if you are a teacher and you are sick, you can't teach. and they should not be exposed, put at high risk in the midst of this for people who say, we want to open schools. children want to go to school as my experience, certainly miss their friends if they are not even missing the teachers so i don't think it's that. i think because everyone has said, we have to think about how we can solve this problem effectively. don't get into blaming the teachers, say this is how we can text teachers and make sure that open schools are safer teachers if it's elementary, middle or high school

for example he never blackmail's kennedy brothers, but he does give robert kennedy, attorney general monthly updates, and all the people that he knows the accusations against, him. and on the one hand, perhaps this is some helpful personal knowledge, that robert kennedy can use, but it also ensures that the kennedy knows, that hoover knows he knows everything. he knows everything that everybody is doing so the kennedy's have the inclination, to shut down what they may be doing because they know in the back of their mind that whoever has taps on them. the restoration of spying takes place in the context of merging national security, right when the second world war ends. a cold war begins shortly thereafter. the house americans activities committee, and the federal government's loyalty program, it's knocked out it's to snuff out anybody that might have certain political views. all of this on the fbi reports. in 1956 the fbi goes on the offensive. with the creation of cpp usa. counter intelligence program, specifically designed to target the communist party. of the united states of amer

martin 13, junior and robert kennedy. was with robert kennedy in indianapolis, indiana, on the evening of april 4, 1968, when i heard that dr. king had been shot. i didn't know his condition until robert kennedy spoke at a rally that i was having to organize a and said ththat dr. g had been assasassinated. amy: i w want to go to that clc. kennedy i i have some very : sad newsws for all of yoyou, i think sad d news for a all of or fellow citizizens and people who love peace all over ththe world. and that is that martin luluther king was shot and was killed tonight in memphis, tennessee. amy: that was robert kennedy breaking the news to so many john lewis you are there. >> i cried, with so many other people. and i said to myself, "we still have bobby." i went back to atlanta, attended the funeral with robert kennedy and hundreds and thousands of others. after the funeral was over, i got back in the kennedy campaign, went to oregon and later to california. i campaigned for bobby kennedy with cesar chavez. it was a wonderful

. >> mccarthy and bobby kennedy were not pals. mccarthy had a biting wit. >> i had suffered some of the same regrets. i home there was someone better. i couldn't name him right off hand at the time. >> my father didn't like mccarthy. he thought mccarthy was -- he couldn't picture him at a cuban missile crisis. >> ug 18 mccarthy was the peace candidate. kennedy had a broader vision in terms of what's happening. in the cities, what's happening around race and the issues of poverty. >> we cannot separate ourselves no matter where we live. from the problems and the troubles and the difficult

kennedy, mrs. johnson would have come to the white house as senate wives when their husbands were in congress because they would have been invited to those functions. >> luncheons. >> while we're talking about family life and how mamie's job was really to preserve and encourage it, we're going to return to their farm at gettysburg and learn a little bit more about family life. >> (begin video clip) >> alyce evans is with the national park service, a park ranger and a mamie expert here at the gettysburg eisenhower house. first of all, how much square feet does this entire property have -- i mean, inside? >> inside, it's about 14,000 square inches (sic). >> about 14,000. ok. what room are we in now? >> we're in the porch. i think it's one of the most important rooms in the home. >> why? >> this is really where they lived, and that's what mamie said that, you know, "we lived on the porch." this room was really the private life of the eisenhowers here, and the family center of the home. >> and it was s

jacqueline kennedy was really the first.anor roosevelt, of course, thought about her own public role, but she pushed that. i mean, i'd say that she's unilaterally responsible for that. the roosevelt white house wasn't pushing her in front. >> i think jackie kennedy is really the first first lady that is part of a media strategy. pat nixon did not play the role, the public role that the white house wanted her to play. >> well, i actually think that it goes further back. i think the republican party used her during the eisenhower -- when she was second lady and really wanted to use this image of dick and pat as this young couple that mirrored america, at the same time, had these two young children. and so i think the republican party actually helped to create that image of her as this ideal housewife. and then once it was there, they couldn't really stop it. it kind of took on a life of its own. >> do you think that they doing the same thing with mamie? >> well, mamie was so much older. i think that pat had to kind of fill in

for example, he never blackmails the kennedy brothers, but he does give robert kennedy, the attorney general, monthly updates of everybody he knows, accusations against him and family members. on the one hand, perhaps this is helpful personal knowledge. but it also ensures the kennedys know that hoover knows everything that everybody is doing. the kennedys have the inclination to shut down what they may be doing, they will know in the back of their mind that hoover has tabs on anything they have been doing. the restoration of spying takes place in the context of an emerging national security state, one we are familiar with today. when the second world war ends, the cold war begins shortly thereafter. the house unamerican activities committee and the federal government's massive loyalty program designed to snuff out anybody that might have dissenting political views, all rely on fbi reports. in 1956, the fbi goes on the offensive. creating cointelpro, cpusa. specifically designed to target the communist party. it is specifically counterintelligence rather than prosecutorial. they're n

. >> moderator: congressman kennedy your 30 seconds to respond. kennedy: thanks for tuning in. i don't think that's what happened at all. there were supporters of mine there that try to put together an event that were targeted. one of his supporters literally tweeted that bullying works. look, this is an issue not just because of what we saw at this event is been a bit of history. his supporters have targeted

and president kennedy.o pat asked how would you like it to go and jackie said i would like a private visit. so pat nixon and president nixon organized a private visit for the kennedys, which turned out to be a remarkable event for all concerned. both caroline and john jr. wrote letters afterwards thanking the nixens and jackie herself wrote a warm letter. despite whatever anger they might have had or she might have had about the 1960 campaign, she was a human first and realized the importance of letting president kennedy's widow and his children come to the white house for that important unveiling. >> we have to get them into politics. we have the early marriage and doing the world war ii, nixon was on active duty in the navy. and first run for congress was in 1946. how did he make the foray into politics? >> when he came back, he was still on active duty and he was -- he was contacted by someone from california, they were looking for someone to run against jerry vohrheese, so nixon talked to pat and they a

, rose kennedy, john kennedy's mother. when little file card that he had has as a child, and my wife and i each had two brothers who had infantile paralysis. just even exist anymore. scarlet fever. all of that spring to mention the dna or successful transplant organs. spoiled. we have pin given so much that we are ungrateful and we should be making are teachers heroes. we should be celebrating them. [applause]. we should have major awards and statues, the great teachers that shaped the lives of so many people. i feel that our teachers are doing the most important work of any of us pretty and we all are to get behind them to make sure they understand we are all for them. [applause]. host: being married to an educator, i would second that. before leave the subject of her current residence. we think john kennedy would think of trump steps pretty. david: [laughter]. we all know. he would be embarrassed. he would be appalled. you wouldn't believe it. we've never had anything like this happen. never as anyone remotely so inappro

kennedy and her mother-in-law rose kennedy spent $30,000 a year on clothes in paris to which jackie veryamously responded, i couldn't spend that much on clothing unless i wore sable underwear. and she made a remark talking about, mrs. nixon, it was a backhanded compliment, but a political one. mrs. nixon dresses very well. she buys her clothes at elizabeth arden and those are not inexpensive. and so you saw coverage of the two wives from an image of news week magazine. of course the cartoon at the far left, i hope dick and jack realize what their destiny hangs on. as if the two candidates' wives are walking down a fashion runway. and the center image at the top is inauguration day, the morning of the kennedy inaugural, january '61, you have with her back to the camera lady bird johnson, the incoming vice president's wife, and mamie eisenhower, jackie kennedy, and pat nixon and in the same tapes that jackie kennedy made her oral history released he comment on how attractive mrs. nixon appeared that day in the california style. pat nixon became first lady in an era according to newspaper t
