kennedy: agreed.t's what so concerning to me because last week it was said i shudder to think about if free speech absolutist were taking over more platforms, what it would look like for marginalized immunities so why is free speech back for marginalized communities? should. >> i appreciate that, the reality is they are looking at black and latino communities and at the power of disinformation on those communities, you will note the russians in 2016 target the black communities specifically in terms of boosting trump and denigrate hillary clinton and some success, it wasn't overwhelmingly, those folks voted for hillary clinton but to me, even today you have barack obama, the first black president, he gave a major speech about the power of disinformation having on our country in politics, polarizing people. as long as the government doesn't act to silence anybody but just simply pointing out these are lies in conspiracy theories, i don't think this is 1984, this is 2022. kennedy: i think 2022 is scarie

is that president kennedy and mrs. kennedy? above all they were a mom and a dad and this really gives us an inside. look at president kennedy's last few years of his life getting to spend time with the children. and of course we had the conversation about mrs. kennedy trying to protect the children when it comes to their exposure to the world the media the press. that's just something that a mother does and then also the juxtaposition how she in a way tried to control what was put out in the media in terms of releasing photos getting to pick what the public saw and what the public didn't see very different than this day and age that we're living in of social media. so it was just really fascinating to get to see all of this and getting to see the pictures and getting to see some of the old pop culture items. it's just a one-of-a-kind exhibit. c-span has hundreds of programs on first ladies, including archival footage interviews and book talks. here's a look at one of our programs. mrs. john f kennedy third youngest of the 29 wi

kennedy: yes.e very interested in seeing someone who is not affiliated with his party run. 58 president of independents said they would absolutely pull the lever for someone who is not joe biden or donald trump the. chris, to inez's point, what are the ws? >> well, look, heavy got an infrastructure bill out will there -- they've got an infrastructure bill out there that's going to bring much-needed repairs. they had all this covid relief. there are more jobs than when he took over -- kennedy: just because everyone had their job taken away. that's not the same thing. that's not job creation. [inaudible conversations] >> buy the donald trump economy, those jobs were taken away. the joe biden economy's returned those jobs. let's keep it where it is. point out -- kennedy: that's very dishonest. >> -- these numbers are very soft, quite frankly, and most of the erosion are from democrats and left-leaning moderates who are not happy with the economy right now x. particularly among women over the anal of 4

kennedy had charmed th. ethel kennedy: he was so happy to have the opportunity. it was such a relief. curtis wilkie: it was an attempt by young people at ole miss to say to the country, we're going to be a new and better generation of people than what you've been dealing with before. charles k. ross: i think it provided a spotlight. there was a lot of more work that the university had to do as it began to move forward, particularly in the late 1960s, 1970s, and '80s. i think it also has to be given credit, though, in that, for black and white students to work together at the university of mississippi, to actually have an event, that person come, give a speech, it be relatively positive, and both black and white students were instrumental in the planning, the thought process, and it actually happening, that in itself was a positive thing and something that paved the way for other kinds of student activities, working together, to move forward. reuben v. anderson: those gentlemen that were involved in the speakers bureau, they stood the risk of being ostracized them

kennedy: kevin, but she has reset button.et, reset, reset with russia, russia, russia so certainly she has some accountability. we heard from president obama the 80s called and they want their foreign policy back. apparently the 80s have come home and it's a dire situation, i don't know i trust a nitpicking warmonger like hillary clinton to dissect everything. [laughter] >> a warmonger, another man's favorite former secretary of state, i'll beg to differ on that a bit, secretary clinton is earned the right to address these issues, she was an effective secretary of state for four years. obviously you said early on, who would love to see a younger speak out, they have great military national security experienced by secretary clinton has great views from the interview where she talked about the issues with saudi arabia india, key countries in regards to . kennedy: protruding to the clinton foundation, was it 25 million with -- we never got the full number. >> saudi arabia has been playing that for a long time. kennedy: i don't t

kennedy: obviously.ie by the millions especially people in ukraine and russia, i want to throw them in a covid well and let -- let's incinerate them. >> i'm sorry, i had a dingbat moment. [laughter] i think chris is right, kristal nailed it and that's good points, too, it's not a coincidence, the courts have struck down all of the biden mandates and recently masks on the planes but chris is right, who cares if you call it a pandemic or not, we are not having a scientific conversation if the question is about the policy among we looking at government officials, what is the policy? the truth is every single policy fauci has advocated for has been tyrannical and completely ineffective and has only ruined the lives of millions of americans. i was reading a study earlier today, sweden saw, the population 75 and under, they had no excess deaths. none. the fact is if you want to follow the signs and look back, the whole lockdown regime, mask mandate, look at the vaccine passport in new york city for the omicron

kennedy: that is fantastic. will have my producer chelsea leo text you for lip color to give it to the makeup artist, fantastic. quite a compliment. >> absolutely perfect but california is a mess out here. if i -- first of all, after the election, the recall, obviously i was disappointed, a lot of people put time and money into this but to be honest i was sorry for the people of california, the people in california deserve better, good people out here and great organizations, they deserve much better than what we are getting with this client administration and the democrats running the state have destroyed everything from crime talking about earlier, i live in malibu and we are having robberies, there was a murder down by the starbucks at the bottom of the hill where i go every morning to get my coffee. the market, very good. kennedy: that is my turnaround spot to go back to the palisades. it's insane, there should be parts of l.a. where you develop communities and watch out for each other and it should be safe

kennedy: no.from ronald reagan's diary from october 1984 reads, little drew barrymore, the child of 18 was one of the children i met, she's a nice little person. well. drew. [laughter] these questions are too hard. here we go, gary. which of these presidents only gave two speeches his entire presidency? grover cleveland, thomas jefferson, warren harding or donald trump? [laughter] >> two speeches? grover cleveland. kennedy: no. cleveland was a chatty box. no, it was thomas jefferson, he liked to handwrite everything. he thought speaking was beneath him. i know, this gate is my -- it's not my fault. >> it wasn't donald trump, that's all he did was speeches. [laughter] kennedy: suck my -- sorry. richard, aside from large washington, the only president who ran unopposed for reelection to his second term. was it millard fillmore, franklin pierce, james monroe or the king elvis presley? >> i will go with monroe. kennedy: really? someone actually got a question right. richard, you are a genius, good job

e-mail kennedy.bay from tampa, clearwater, florida, a gorgeous gulf oasis. when you are done with that rent a kayak. paddle south.

kennedy: i know.t to be governor, that means you have to deal with the mayor of new york city eric adams or whoever else and sometimes that's a very difficult and thankless job. if you were governor, what would you do to make new york city and the subways safer? >> a few things, one thing comes to mind new york state has cashless bail in place that's resulted in headlines after headlines and in some cases people getting killed by someone who had just been released on cashless bail. i believe it should be repealed and judges should have discretion when dangerous flight risk and past criminal record and seriousness of offense setting bail on all offenses. district attorney's who refuse to enforce the law like manhattan district attorney alvin bragg should be fired. the governor of new york has the constitutional authority to fire a district attorney refuses to enforce the law. they want i would fire alvin bragg. i believe we should pass a law enforcement bill of rights in albany, there's the right of se

kennedy: brian, go to your room.r friends want to eat cupcakes. >> so true but we are going to benefit from this in the long run, you member net neutrality and everything, people would literally die and now we never talk about it again. we are all going to be fine, we might laugh ourselves to death reading hotcakes from like elizabeth warren and people like that but it's a net win for america and congrats to elon musk unfulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming tom from myspace. now we are all their friends. >> what happened to him? kennedy: he's everyone's friend. are you excited donald trump? a lot for the left to react to. this is exactly the boost you need it ahead of the midterms. >> with less than 200 days until the midterms, i am ecstatic to have donald trump back on that platform. bring it on. i'll check his account tonight, i'd love to have him back on there's so much especially on the left, let's wait and see what happens, i'm all about free speech. i love the first amendment, let's bring everyone back on.

. ♪♪ kennedy: hi, monday.aking news, a federal judge overturning the white house mask mandate for all public transportation in the united states. can i get a hallelujah? thank you. the of administration says it will abide by the ruling so can the masks finally come off? the mandate has been in place must since the beginning of the pandemic. it was supposed to expire today after several extensions but last week the biden administration extended it for two more weeks. two weeks to stop the curb or flattened the curb. the airline industry claims mask mandate is unnecessary. they are begging for the masks to be off on their planes. today trump appointed judge in florida ruled the cdc did not have the authority to force everyone to wear a mask. reporter jen psaki asked what we all want to know. >> they make be wondering, if they are boarding a flight tonight, is mask mandate still in place? >> i understand why you are asking and nobody here is trying to provoke uncertainty the passengers and we think the mask manda

kennedy: is that possible?hink it is but he's penetrated his own army, he's going to know if they will make a move on him and he would go full stalin on that. i don't see a clean way putin retires to sochi or gets the booster. he's going to go feetfirst or not at all. kennedy: so what about russian operatives saying these are all fake? this is a hoax. it seems like an elaborate prank and it doesn't seemed like russia has good evidence of that. >> and again, the serbs did the same thing, we hate serbs. they are already doing that. technologically we've seen extraordinary fakes already in this except they don't have the meta data and the eyewitness. a smart phone plus a drone plus an idiot colonel on a cell phone plus eyewitnesses. eyewitnesses convicted eichmann from a they convicted most of us and all those guys. ultimately a human being. kennedy: thanks so much for your time, we'll talk to you next week. i don't know what that means. okay. the biden administration extending this long pause again. who's in char

kennedy: it's so weird.ud him for finally seeing the light but come on, why didn't you say this a year ago? or two years ago? oh, right. because you are science. >> criticize science, nobody's going to know what they are talking about but if they get up and really aimed there bullet that tony fauci, people could recognize as a pearson there so it's easy to criticize but they are really criticizing science because i represent signs. if you are trying to get at me as a public health official and scientist, you are really attacking not only doctor anthony fauci, you are attacking science. i'm the bad guy to the entire subset of people because i represent something that's uncomfortable for them. it's called the truth. [laughter] kennedy: if only. the soundbite did well. is he finally listening to reason or is this a political ploy to help democrats avoid this in the midterms? let's meet our man panel from townhall.com where he serves as political editor and host of the guy benson show, it is guy benson. so hands

was bridget murphy kennedy. but i couldn't quite figure out. that point forward for many years exactly how to find a way into a story about the early kennedys what i wanted to understand was where did they come from who came to america first what was life like for them when they got here, you know, i know we're not always the most welcoming country to incoming immigrants. we say we are many of us believe we are and should be but it's not always the case and it wasn't the case for the incoming irish. so i wanted to find a story that told many stories. in fact, i wanted to explore the origins of the kennedy. family in america. i wanted to understand irish immigration in america. i wanted to understand life for irish immigrants in the 1800s, which is when bridget came here. other books kept getting in the way and it wasn't until 2016-17 when we started having very different more aggressive more angry conversations about immigration immigration in this country where i realized i have to figure this story out. i have

kennedy: they are noble.an old ladies are telling russian soldiers we will eat your balls for breakfast. they're not backing down, tens of thousands of civilians have already died, millions are displaced. it's vladimir putin losing it or is he crazy like fox? tonight panel, washington examiner senior political correspondent and enterprise institute, president fellow, tim carney is back and former state department deputy spokesperson, fox news agenda, maria hearts. georgia libertarian governor, he's heating up and ready to take on. former u.s. marine corps sgt., shane hazel is back. welcome back, everyone. >> thank you. kennedy: this is interesting, vladimir putin said what he is doing is noble, he's done with peace talks. is any of us surprising to you? >> no, he is a bad guy the part that surprised me was he took the war to the rest of ukraine. he got crimea for basically three in 2014. my assumption going and was he was going to invade and try to take eastern ukraine for those a lot of epic russians. the la

kennedy: what should we be looking at?ese diversities of growing the administration, not necessarily growing professors or pas, it's not like students have more access to academic information, they are not necessarily learning more but it's costing a lot more. what you tell kids? a lot of boys are going to college, there enrollment numbers are dropping. >> i think you and jason are largely right, college has become more of a for-profit business even for nonprofit schools than is helping people gain a profit. you look at the fact that in reality we have a shortage of pilots and nurses and engineers and plumbers and electricians in the country. the focus ought to be demonstrating and revealing to young people opportunities there and if they pursue those opportunities via job or ownership opportunity, we got to reorient and reset the way we think about higher education and opportunity at the higher education in our country. kennedy: olivia, you are an incredible role model, you are a self-made person, team usa wrestler, you'v

but he was a close friend of ted kennedy's. he called me and said mitt, you know, i'm a republican too. i'm responsible for helping get a lot of republicans elected. but i'm not going to come campaign for you. and he said because ted kennedy is just that good of a friend. orrin put friendship above politics. now, in addition to his legislative accomplishments, orrin hatch played a pivotal role in several landmark confirmations while serving as one of the longest chairs of the senate judiciary committee. his positive impact in the state of utah and the nation's federal judiciary cannot be overstated. now, when i was asked to run the 2002 olympic winter games in salt lake city, i met with orrin hatch and said i'm going to need your help. he made it very clear that the success of the olympics, come as they were going to do to our state, would be a high priority for him, and he would do whatever is necessary to support our effort. and then came the crisis of 9/11 and 2001. i knew that i could not invite the people of the world to c

okay, kennedy?to see me. >> kennedy: you have to look at this video of a sand hill crane knocking, knocking, knocking on heaven's door. and melbourne, florida. the person who took the video said this little guy comes by every single day you have to believe something like reincarnation. something inside he is trying to get people's attention. i'm a person, too. so maybe you let me in and i do light organizing. maybe some collating. >> judge jeanine: has anybody ever let him in. >> tyrus: i used to have one come up every day for snacks i would feed them. >> what do you give? >> popcorn. they love popcorn. >> judge jeanine: all right. speaking of popcorn, what are you doing for easter? >> tyrus: wow, i'm working and i'm probably going to do an easter egg hunt or two. do my best easter bunny impression. >> lawrence: you went to church? >> judge jeanine: i went to church today. you didn't. okay, kennedy, what are you doing for easter? >> i'm eastern orthodox christian. age lawrence got to go to church. >

to go against ted kennedy but someone needed to do it. i wanted to see if i couldn't get ted kennedy on the right track but at that time orrin hatch and i hardly knew each other. we were just acquaintances but he was a close friend of ted kennedy's. he called me and said i am a republican, responsible for republicans elected i'm not going to campaign for you he said because ted kennedyoo is just that goodf a friend. he putit friendship above politics. ine addition to his legislative accomplishments, orrin hatch played l a pivotal role in sevel landmark conservations while serving as one of the longest serving chairs of the senate judiciary committee. his positive impact in the state of utah and the nation's federal judiciary cannot be overstated. i was asked to run the olympic games in saltlake city i met wih and said i'm going to need your help. heha made it very clear the success of the olympics coming as they were going to to our state would be a high priority and he would do whatever necessary to support the effort. then came the cris

mike is good friend ted kennedy, he was a lion of the senate. now i know there been a number of senators who take responsibility for accomplishing many things, but it don't think there's ever g been a legislator that has gotten more done legislatively than orrin hatch. our judiciary, the fundamentals of our economy, even our national character are more elevated and more secure thanks to his leadership, thanks to his undaunted capacity to plow ahead. sponsoring and cosponsoring more legislation than any other member at h the time of his retirement, he used his time in this chamber to work tirelessly to help people who sometimes were overlooked. he reached across the aisle to forge strong bipartisan relationships that allowed him to pass landmark legislation. now, orrin hatch and ted kennedy were once signing a bill together, celebrating the same bill, and president reagan turned to orrin hatch and said, how is it that you and ted kennedy are celebrating the sam? piece of legislation? and orrin turned back and looked at him and said well, it's ver

kennedy's romantic side, separate from that. the other reason was they didn't think the american public wanted a lot of secret service guards around the president, they wanted to feel like they were every man who waited into a crowd, normal joe, say hello to their voters and if you had a bunch of security around you, he gives the impression you need to be protected from your own public and they didn't like that and thought taxpayers would be ticked off so lyndon b. johnson for example constantly trying to cut this secret service budget or at least his detail because he thought voters didn't like it. >> there's something ridiculous about that, we'd rather have a live president with people him then a dead president. the job of the secret service is to protect the president. remarkable the taxpayers won't like this, i'm more sympathetic to the argument that while they want private lives, john kennedy or michelle obama, we want theet secret service to leave us to have our private lives and not impose in a way -- it has the word secr

very good friend william kennedy annapolis to he wrote a book many books the william j kennedy. well, it's william kennedy of albany. he writes novels about albany and more. he wrote one of the best political novels called roscoe, but he also did iron weed which meryl streep and jack nicholson starred in but kennedy runs the for years with his wife dana randall writer's school at the state university of new york. and he was very tight with frank mccourt in when we go to these writers conferences heat frank mccourt would always be there talk to anybody and tell stories and and william kennedy's that way too one of our most underappreciated. novelist of my lifetime was is william kennedy. i when i would frank mccourt just reminded me of the story, but i went up to stivensen high school where he taught new york city to take his photograph for the first book notes book we ever did. and after it was over i was so excited because he just he was electric. that wonderful irish accent and afterwards he said were you going next i said, well, i have to go back up town. i said come on. i'll

kennedy's allies did a marvelous job of selling the kennedy legacy to history. on the right, the reagan people did a marvelous job. so if you look at public opinion polls you'll see kennedy and reagan very popular presidents with the public at large. that takes work. it wasn't by osmosis. it wasn't even by who was the best president. it's just that they were able to project. they are two most visited presidential libraries, pre-covid, where the reagan library and the kennedy library. people are invested in those two leaders. >> what do you think of presidents being the age of joe biden? >> it would be better, in a perfect democracy, that we had leadership in their 40s and 50s, showing a new generation, carrying the torch. but the wheels came off the track recently. the fact that we hand to septuagenarians and donald trump and joe biden going head to head, it was a bit of a head-scratcher. i'm not sure that will be repeated, but we might have a repeat match of trump and biden. it's very possible. it would be more optimal if we had younger presidents because of th

very good friend william kennedy annapolis to he wrote a book many books the william j kennedy. well, it's william kennedy of albany. he writes novels about albany and more. he wrote one of the best political novels called roscoe, but he also did iron weed which meryl streep and jack nicholson starred in but kennedy runs the for years with his wife dana randall writer's school at the state university of new york. and he was very tight with frank mccourt in when we go to these writers conferences heat frank mccourt would always be there talk to anybody and tell stories and and william kennedy's that way too one of our most underappreciated. novelist of my lifetime was is william kennedy. i when i would frank mccourt just reminded me of the story, but i went up to stivensen high school where he taught new york city to take his photograph for the first book notes book we ever did. and after it was over i was so excited because he just he was electric. that wonderful irish accent and afterwards he said were you going next i said, well, i have to go back up town. i said come on. i'll

and hatch-kennedy, kennedy-hatch blossomed into all kinds of important legislation. i worked with so many other democrats to do good work. to get it done they would have to come across and do it the right way. host: why do you call it the lords work? sen. hatch: i do not believe i would be here if it was not for extra help. i believe this is the most important government in the world. the most important country in the world. i believe that this nation was brought about by our father in heaven and that we have an obligation to keep it going. i have no doubt -- i don't see how anybody can have doubt when you look at how the original pilgrims and people during the revolution and so forth were able to develop this country. year after year after year, all of the problems, civil war, and the other world wars that we have had, we have been able to not only survive but become the world leaders. the world leader. period. that just could not happen without higher help, it seems to me. host: why retire now? sen. hatch: i have been here 42 years. i am 84 years of age. i am viabl

kennedy's romantic liaisons. separate from that the other reason they didn't think the american people wanted a lot of secret service guards around their president. they wanted to feel like they were every-men who waded into a crowd, normal joe. say hello to their voters. ... around you gave the impression you needed to be protected from your own public trait they did not like that and i thought taxpayers to be ticked off about it. so lyndon b johnson for example counseling trying to cut the secret service budget or at least his detail. he thought voters did not because he thought voters didn't like it. >> wasn't there something ridiculous but that? we would rather have live president with too many people around him that a dead president. the job is to protect the president. i find it remarkable that the won't like his argument holds any water. i more sympathetic to the argument that we want to have private lives and so whether it's a john kennedy or michelle obama we want the secret service to leave us to have o

by my count the big grievance attempts he won into used to attracted kennedy because he feared kennedy as a political threat either in the 72 election or he wanted to disable potentially for 76. nixon is relying on the service to take on a number of expenses that were not legitimately renovation expenses that nixon's private property. and then also nixon's attempt to use secret service members to remove protesters, to basically disable the ability of americans to protest peacefully if not loudly against their government. it reminded me of what happened during the trump years. >> it reminded me of the same. so many eerie parallels with nixon and trump just read the secret service. this idea for handling antiwar protester and anti- nixon protesters by second the secret service on them and using them as a tool like president trump's these are my goons deployed in the same looking as the law and order present the tough guy nixon wanted to do the same. when he was running for reelection he wanted to have these images of these vicious savage protesters fighting with the secret service so tho

kennedy: again, wonderful question. his first year with the dodgers was 1947 and again with the dodgers in 1940 eight, this was part of the story of jackie robinson. he had agreed he was going to sort of turn the other cheek, as it were. even though he faced a lot of racial taunting, even though pictures -- pitchers would intentionally hit him -- no player in 1948 would hit him -- no player in 1948 was hit with more pitches than jackie robinson. he believed that was a way to temper the action, to sort of not allow people to -- to make less room for criticism. he was successful his first year. 1949, before that season, he said he could not do it anymore. the gloves were off, so to speak, and he decided he was going to be an aggressive player, and he said as much in spring training. he came out and that year was an enormously more animated, aggressive player in the batter's box, around the grasses. they said when he played the negro leagues that jackie was known for his temper and up to his neck in every game is the expre

all the factors that kennedy listed in so much more. popcorn and enjoying those as a informed? >> vivek: read with its comic. a lot of people are going to celebrate it. it is the red team going to be the blue time? lisbeth warren can tell you that the red team will beat the blue team. but i think that the democrats have made it so easy for republicans to be november. republicans are not going to have an answer, a coherent answer, about what they're going to fill the void because the bar was set so low. lisbeth warren is right about one thing. democrats are going to get creamed if they do not change course. she sang changing course in the wrong direction. let's say it's the same thing. it's not rocket scientist to say there's quick we are bred to wave. i'm worried that the republican party is going to win on the let's go brandon agenda which is not an agenda. but the american people are hungry for as a conservative movement that fills a vacuum of national identity. i worry that the democrats, by making make an republicans job so easy, is

and so look at problems that the kennedy family had with some of the -- bobby kennedy's kids had drug and alcohol problems. and they come forward and they decide at some point, once you get clean, to share your experience, hoping you can convince others to get rehab. and that's the betty ford tradition, right? i mean, betty ford's clinics are famous for substance abuse and saying, admit it, come public, get help, and you can still have a life. and that's happened to a lot of children of presidents. >> i notice that you signed at least one of the two impeachment letters that historians signed, in other words to impeach donald trump. i can't remember whether you did the video or not. but before donald trump even successfully won the presidency, a serious number of historians did videos saying don't elect this man, he's a horrible person. why would an historian do that before the fact? >> i refrained from that during the campaign, when trump ran. i was doing commentary for cnn, trying to be balanced in covering it. i didn't sign on for the first impeachment with russia and all of that. t

or politics they they aim for the top as joe kennedy said to a columnist one day for the kennedys. it's either the castle or the outhouse nothing in between but having said that the three brothers who did seek the presidency in a sense pursued viewed their pursuit differently and it's interesting and we will get to the question of what they would what they would do today. were they alive jack was the most determined to be president of the three of them because he had the biggest sense that the presidency was as he called it the center of action and from his earliest days, you know, he served in the house first and then in the senate and then as president you always got a sense that he thought presidential. he did not think legislative even as a house member he was giving speeches that you would think a president would give a big questions war and peace the future versus the past and all the rest and of course since his overriding interest was foreign policy. that is the most presidential of issues if you want to affect it in the biggest way you need to be present and i'll say one m

when used to kill carole kennedy? knowing that he was a suspect get rid of that because it was incriminating evidence? seems like every investigative trail that they followed lead right back to the person they had suggested all along. carol's best friend knew who that was. >> i didn't believe steve did it, but i couldn't think of anybody else that could possibly do any harm to carroll. and >> and so, three months after carole was killed, they arrested steve on the charge of first degree murder! steve sister, sharon -- >> i'm trying to imagine what it was like for the family. this amazing, accomplished, interesting, intelligent family. when, the child was -- . a woman who you all loved! >> it was a total shock. they do not understand. if they knew him, they would see how wrong and impossible this was. >> even worse, prosecutors filed for the death penalty. any chance for bail for steve, given the charge, was remote. still, the whole family gathered in court for the hearing. which, coincidence, had been scheduled for ch

and that leads us into john f kennedy the next president to die and just very quickly after john f kennedy who also died on planned is when presidents started to do this pre-planning of funerals and and wondering binder that turned into three or that grew over time. so that's when we see the modern the modern-day state funeral that were so familiar with now really start to form after kennedy. really herbert hoovers was the first one that had that pre-planning that had gone into it. yeah, and as you've pointed as we both pointed to the the planned element of it is as geneus said, okay. well, you don't know when when it's going to happen. my gosh with john f kennedy, you really really don't know when it's going to occur. yet a funeral still needs to take place and needs to take place relatively quickly. so nicola if you could talk to us, you've got this fabulous museum here in dallas the sixth floor museum, but a great deal that that covers jfk's funeral. how were they able to do that? well, i think the last thing the presidential couple expected when they made their visit to texas into dall

it took the assassination of robert kennedy for lyndon b.ohnson just to announce overnight and that is a chillingng moment literally in the middle of the night calls up the director of the secret service and says i want details on every single candidate right now. candidates got protection. >> family members. the protection of the service has been and arthur brammer who shot george wallace wanted to kill nixon first. >> and he was awarded. >> and it's a good story for the secret service. he wrote in his journal he was trying to get next and but it was too tricky he was struggling because the secret service made it too hard to get a close enough shot. did for them but kennedy's assassination made them rebuild that agency from the ground up and amazing security but it has been flipping the last couple of decades. >> i was not aware of the exceptional case study project where the analysis was done of 83 people who attacked or came close to prominent american public figures in 1949 in 1996 but that is a lot of instances of attempts more than we

one of coach kennedy's attorneys, mike berry says the school wrongfully fired coach kennedy over his personal private kennedy sued back in 2015 and the federal district court ruled in favor of the school. kennedy and his attorneys argue that this ruling could impact anyone who wants to visibly express their faith no matter what religion we as americans should be able to enjoy the right. >> to live out our faith, our faith freely and openly, regardless of who our employer happens to be. >> rachel has organization. americans united is defending the school district. she argues there was nothing private about how the coach prayed. this is the coach and he's praying holding up a football helmet encircled by students. you're not allowed to pray in your public official capacity. >> and such that students would feel pressured to join you. laster says if the supreme court should rule in the former coaches favor, it puts at risk the religious freedom of students and their families in every k through 12 class from across the country. the court will hear from the lawyers on monday with a decisio

actually, kennedy, her numbers are lower.fetimes where they are worried though commander in chief might not make it to the for whatever reason. the number two spot is critical. people look at her and they also think she is not to the job. it doesn't matter what it is, whether it's immigration or foreign policy, she gets nervous, she has this glitch where she starts flapping at inopportune times. she doesn't do the work. if she did the work i think a lot would be so forgiving. but the fact that she's known to someone who bullies her staff and that's why they are getting wedding and also doesn't read her brief. a potential world war, rising crime and immigration where she's failed utterly. i don't see what she has done well. >> that's right. even where she purports to be from, which is the bay area, work voters are supposed to know her best. they are supposed to be her biggest fans. there's a 38% approval rate because to your point she is not done anything worth approval. we have a couple of examples of an appropriate aspect th

but lawyers for the school district argue kennedy's prayers put pressure on kids to join him. today, conservative and liberal justices both raised concerns about coercion but still, the court's conservative majority appeared inclined to rule for coach kennedy. here's cnbc's scott cohn >> when we met coach joseph kennedy in bremerton last month, he said the school district's actions struck at the heart of his first amendment rights >> i don't want anybody to ever have to lose their job because of their faith >> but where's the line between his right to practice that faith and the students' right to be free from religious coercion by a government employee? that was at the heart of nearly two hours of oral arguments before the high court, with the liberal minority suggesting that the coach's public prayers at midfield cross the line. >> that puts a kind of undue pressure, a kind of coercion on students to participate in religious activities when they may not wish to, when their religion is different or they have no religion >> but conservatives including clarence thomas pushed ba
