kennedy. administration there is no such process. there is a executive branch process, but there is no reporting requirement. to the congress. it was such reporting that was done. was informal low-key kind of off the record in the case of the development of the u2 spy plane cia notified one of the houses. i think it was the house of represent. no the senate and did not inform the house. so when francis gary powers was shot down at least half of the congress didn't even know. we had a youtube. so things have changed and we're going to get to that when we talk about accountability and the reforms of the 1970s. yes. an asset benkowsky. yes husky. um, did he not inform us about the missiles being brought into cuba like not specifically but he he gave us the documentary. evidence the manuals which we were able to use in the during the crisis. i'm told that when we received all this information, we thought this is this is great. but you know, we're not. we don't have a need for it. and then the cuban missile crisis happens and we have all

at the time of the kennedy administration, there is no such process.re is an executive branch process, but there is no reporting requirement to the congress. such reporting that was done was informal, low-key, kind of off the record. in the case of the development of the u2 spy plane, the cia notified one of the houses. i think it was the house of representatives -- know it was the senate, and did not inform the house. so when francis garry powers was shot, down at least half of the congress do not know we had a u2. so things have changed. so we will talk about that when we get to that when we talk about accountability in the reforms of the 1970s. >> did he not inform us about the missiles that he brought into cuba? >> not specifically, but he gave us the documentary, the evidence manuals that we were able to use during the crisis. i am told that when we received all of this information we thought this is great, but you know, we don't have a need for it. then the cuban missile crisis happens, and all of a sudden we have the need for it. this is why int

so this is a major intelligence legacy from the kennedy administration. another very important development was the creation of the defense intelligence agency in october of 1961 further expanding this constellation of agencies. we know another very important development was the creation of the defense intelligence agency in october of 1961, further expanding this constellation of agencies we know as the intelligence community. as we have learned in a previous class, that community around the time of the end of world war ii comprised just the state department, fbi, and the military branch intelligence organizations. and then with cia's creation in 1947, cia becomes central to that community. president truman added the national security agency in 1952. president eisenhower added the national reconnaissance office to coordinate cia and air force activities regarding imagery from spy planes and satellites coming online, and then under kennedy, the defense department gets its own intelligence agency. dia today is a major national agency of the u.s. intelligenc

it was the biggest domestic crisis the kennedy administration faced. this rope governor, they have supreme court ruling that he admitted to being in mississippi. they had what marshall called a potential conservancy on their hands. that all hell can break loose. if this governor did not do his job and so the buildup to that was to try -- he said he would and he didn't and full-scale riot. full-scale riot on the campus of ole miss. marshals could shoot to kill. two people were shot and killed. then they called up the army and army got delayed. robert kennedy said it was the worst night of my life. he and the president and other aid are sitting in the white house calling from a pay phone, way before cell phones, and it was just awful. after it was over some asked him what his brother had learned. i really think this is interesting, from the crisis. he said my brother lord never to believe -- the old-school interpretation, the poor south, the federal government, you know, just brought it to life. the tip of the delta -- let me add one of the thing because

things are at a fever pitch and the kennedy administration begins immediately working on legislation. nobody thought they could get through. it would be something. in the heat of this event a getting ready for a showdown with george wallace. it's really intense short period, several weeks. dick gregory had recommended -- the assistant attorney general for civil rights that baldwin and robert kennedy meat. they had met at the white house. baldwin had -- [inaudible] he and bobby met. they talked and he said he should talk again but like what happens, it's about a year later and they met in washington but -- stateside service meeting the next day in new york. james long calls people and his recollection of this meeting, he felt that kennedy was someone -- he's unlike most politicians and public figures. baldwin that interacted with but he felt he needed to really know. how things were in the north. kennedy went to the meeting thinking that he would get some advice or insights into how to deal with the problems in the urban wars. it wasn't you just pass a law. it was just entrenched segre

and you had the kennedy administration coming in and being in sync with that. so together all these differentforces that come together in the early 60s . justice is rising and it's back, it had impacts that was difficult to measure. we can look at civil rights ask but we're sitting here talking about this today and i think not everything was achieved. you have this backlash at the end of the decade but justice keeps rising in ways that were formative and historically significant. and i think they had tremendous lessons but again it's a convergence and that that the kennedys are an equal part of that. it responded to it and helped to contribute in that time of movement. >> question from which to add, that is actually is in reverse, this is the book, justice rising. robert kennedy's america in black and white by patricia. amazing book. i read the whole thing. i recommend our listeners get out and read it as you said, pat and various points, all these are complicated questions and what we're doing in the book is mobilizing all the evidence. around those two sort o

it really spoke and energized american engagement and you hand the kennedy administration with that.it has an impact that is difficult to measure. not everything was achieved, but justice was rising in ways that were formative and historically significant and have tremendous lessons but it's a convergence and the kennedys were part of that, responded to it and helped to contribute to that kind of movement. >> questions for which to end. america in black-and-white by patricia sullivan. amazing book. i've read the whole thing and recommended the listeners read it. as you've said, at various points it is a complicated question overriding evidence around them. it is well worth reading. >> thank you to the library forum and the audience. and thank you to the kennedy library for inviting both of us to appear. >> my thanks to them all and thanks to everybody. ♪♪ on our weekly interview author program "after words" retired lieutenant colonel wayne phelps offered his thoughts on drone warfare. >> one of the biggest changes we have seen with the employment of the drones is the mental transitio

kennedy's administration or rather eisenhower's administration to send in the national guard to littlet. you have got court saying, it's unconstitutional, but we can't figure it out and throwing it on the scrap heap themselves. >> that is the sub text of the attorney general's afternoon press conference. i think he's talk to the public, surely, but he's trying to impress upon the judiciary that, where does this end? if the judiciary facilitates states in avoiding constitutional duties, where does this end? and it doesn't end well. i think he underscored that repeatedly. >> thanks. that was great. that's it the rachel maddow show begins right now. >>> good evening. thanks, my friend. thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. you start in the summer of 1964. you go through the summer of 1965, and you get to the whole shocking climax of the thing by the summer of 1966. it was a short period of time. it was world shaking stuff, but it happened fast and definitively and it all spooled out over the course of those two years -- '64 to '66. start in the summer of '64. july 1nd, 1964, pre

so he goes to the meeting, his intention is to let them know the political challenges the kennedy administrationthey are real, sort of like today. : : : it would have been beaten, horrible down there. this is 63 so he's on the front line and he was in new york with a broken jaw and other injuries he endured so he's sitting and start likely and he says this room, he calls about not doing enough and kennedy to the others no one knows he's the one who comes from the battle. what it showed his mission cap. this whole thing so it's all the things the federal done and everybody and there's no transcript, i put together from recollection. the gist of it is they sat silently, she didn't think she got it. it was described, white and black coming together and she said if you get it, you're in trouble because you and your brother are the best. it was quite a statement and he sat there for three hours okay, we are done and they leave and there he is so everybody was sure it was the most sporadic violent group that they were doing so that happened then and people say that changed kennedy. by 1963, he knew th

executive order to send him and say you haven't issue with the executive order and for the kennedy administrationd directly with the administration to the department of justice -- >> that's a good question because the effort to get the civil rights bill in may of 62 and how it played out but the reality seventh democrats, you can only do what you can do. they told him not to give the speech to jeopardize his reelection in 1964 and they should have. the only people who thought he should do it was his brother and him. he was willing to put his political future on the line. yet the confidence, he was smart and i think they have this in the country but it would be tough with seventh democrats. they needed the south to win so we shouldn't be judging -- to say that without digging in and doing the work and contextualizing it as a political figure what you can do does not move anything forward. how do you make change? looking at today, it is tough to think about the challenge resident biden faces. how do you navigate this in that sphere? there are other places at the state and local level many ways peop

kennedy was assassinated 1963, vice president lyndon johnson carried on the kennedy administration's agenda, and it's legislative agenda was possibly even more successful, because of the emotional outpouring in the aftermath of the death of president kennedy. but when ruth bader ginsburg died, she was replaced as quickly as possible by a judge who could spend even more years on the court justice -- then spent every day on the job trying to undo ruth bader ginsburg's life work. when a supreme court justice dies, hundreds of millions of people do not know what that means for the rights the supreme court has been protecting for them. when the supreme court justice dies, americans do not know what rights they might lose because of that. and so tonight, because some supreme court justices retired at the right time, and other supreme court justices died at the wrong time, women in texas, who have been raped, women in texas who are pregnant because their fathers or their uncles or their brothers made them pregnant, will not be able to end those pregnancies, because the judges put on the supr

the kennedy administration created the cuban refugee program to screen the refugees to find sponsors for them and to help them retool for life. in the united states by the time the cuban refugee program was phased out in the mid-1970s. the federal government had invested some 900 million dollars into a cuban refugee relief. now as i mentioned earlier those paroled into the united states could not become permanent residents or citizens. unless congress passed enabling legislation legislation that allowed them to normalize their status and this is what congress did. congress passed the hungarian relief act of 1958 and the 1966 cuban adjustment act which allowed hungarians and cubans to become permanent residents of the united states after living just two years in the united states. so we begin to see the origins of the distinct refugee policy taking place in the 1950s and 1960s. now members of congress became increasingly concerned that the white house was using the parole authority much too much as a back door to bring in people into the united states outside of the established immigr

a former eight in the kennedy administration who became a progressive activist and author. i asked her how she decided to stand alone, what went into that decision, where she was when she decided she was going to give her speech, and then how people responded to it. >> tha you so much, amy. thanyou to everyon especially ips for hosting this very important forumoday. let me s to tse for historical context and also just an honor, marcus raskin. he was the last person i spoke to before i gave that speech. the very last pers. i had gone to memorl and ha come back. i was on this committee of jurisdiction, foreign affrs committee where the authorization was coming fr. of course it d not go through e committee. it was supposed to come up on saturday. i got back to the office and they said, up to get to the floor. the authorization is coming up within an hour or two. so i had to race down to the floor. i was trying to get my thoughts together. as you can see, i was -- i won't say not prepared, but i did not have what i wanted in terms of my framework and talking points. i had to sc

kennedy's administration, to write it as an hours, to step in and send the national guard into littlerock to enforce that mandate. >> the problem here, though is the court is saying, in your own precedent. you've got the courts saying, out yes it's unconstitutional, but we can't figure it. out and basically throwing in the scrapheap themselves. >> that i think is the subtext of the attorney generals afternoon press conference. i think he is talking to the public surely, but i think he's also trying to impress upon the judiciary, that where does this? and if we allow the judiciary facilitate states and avoiding constitutional duties, where it is and. it does not end well. i think he was underscoring that point repeatedly. >> melissa, as always, thank you so much, that was great. that is all in on this thursday. night the rachel matter show starts right. now rachel good evening. >> good evening chris thanks my. friend much appreciated. and thanks to your home for joining us this hour. you started the summer of 1964. you go through the summer of thanks to you at home for joining us this

afghanistan who want to leave the nation and they cannot and they are not being helped by the biden administration. kennedye americans there waiting to get out especially on a plane, are they being protected by former special operators with guns? >> i will not, about be to i would like to think they are. i'd like to think they have some measure of safety from patriotic americans who served their country and now risking their own lives to save other americans and -- >> so what i. kennedy: you would and will do the same thing. thank you so much. >> have a wonderful evening. kennedy: how can we pick the saviors of war in afghanistan? how about another war in afghanistan? that's a republican senator, lindsey graham has in mind another invasion will do the trick to stop future terror attacks in the u.s. >> the taliban are not reformed, they are not new. they have a view of the world out of sync with modern times, safe haven to al qaeda who is in condition to drive at large and attack us because of our way of life. will be going back into afghanistan as we went back into iraq and syria. kennedy: great. should we

administration. i guess our concern about terrorists is pretty selected. kennedy: apparently for you. d not inherit a plan why stick to the deadline? tomorrow applicable testify before the senate foreign relations committee, but was the ..? will anyone in the biden administration take responsibility for the fiasco? try tomato michigan congressman and army men peter meijer is back. was it staying longer getting out smarter? >> it had to be about getting out smarter but this is the biggest frustration with the way the hearing went down, you hear this is president biden's remarks. let me defend the decision to withdrawal which does have a bipartisan support rather than how this was executed. both of the books not there. kennedy: was the most frustrating thing for you as someone who works as a contractor in afghanistan? someone who is in combat and the uniform and iraq. is that the 13 service members who were sitting ducks, who were killed by terrorists? is it the fact that we have left to so many americans behind there? or, or their veterans groups and congressmen and women who have lists

kennedy: just without the biden administration could not bungle afghanistan evening further, they gohead and screw the poor pooch. probably left that their two leaked e-mails at the state parmenter the very best to hope a wildly successful evacuation flights out of the country. but if the feds are not going to do it who on earth is? as you know the pentagon stop the official calculations early last week but hundreds if not thousands of u.s. citizens on afghan allies reportedly stuck in the country, every day they stay the situation grows more dire but nonetheless nancy pelosi claims the white house is doing a bang up job, nancy. >> the historical evacuation of 120,000 people was remarkable and i commend the adjust ration that. this is never easy but it's not complete right from the start but it was remarkable even though it was off to a hazy start. now we go forward. kennedy: hazy? how do we go forward sister? a number of republican lawmakers claim that is rotten rubbish among them oklahoma congressman who spent working tirelessly with vets to try to rescue people he claims the biden

who is making the cheat sheet, who is in charge of this administration and this white house? >> kennedyt's kind of sad, he's an older fella, he's a grandpa. needs a little bit of help. they are doing whatever they can to prop him up like "weekend at bernie's" every day. >> leslie: then i guess you think i'm old and a grandmother, because when i read off that military equipment, it's right here in my cheat sheet. i don't think that has to do with age. have a great memory for faces, not so much names, not so much numbers, and i have no problem, quite frankly, with presidents, democrat or republican, having some notes. i would rather them get facts, figures, and names accurate. look, if somebody doesn't have a cheat sheet and the make a mistake, they say they are in a city which they are not, which we have seen presidents do, both democrats and republican. they have called somebody a different name or a different office than they hold. i would rather than get it right. i have no problem with that. i think this is like the tan suit that obama wore when he was president, and this to me is no

kennedy inaugurated in january succeeding president eisenhower. bad things are being planned by the scenes with the cia, u.s. government and others passed off to the administration you see the photo of the top right of pulitzer prize winning photo called serious steps. what's interesting about this i think from a human and political point is that president kennedy inherited the operation. it was launched, and did not go well hence the name. riches across the political and personal i'll and invites president eisenhower to come to camp david and help them understand how to get to this how do i fix this mess, what do i do? it's a very poignant and significant moment i think part of the new upstart democrat inviting the old guard five-star general to talk about what to do. i think it's a very humble may be possibly desperate measure. very humble way to recognize leadership and what passes between administrations and talk about what to do best for the country. >> you mentioned this already, mike, who talk about this in your book. some presidents and first ladies visit camp david or frequently than others. if you talk a little bit about the differences in how the pres

kennedy: was good because yes, he's going to join us in a moment and is having some traffic and the technical difficulties because the biden administrationy drone's audio equipment. guest: are destroying helium broadband, that is all. kennedy: come on man, and we will start with you because this looks fishy to a lot of observers from the very beginning and it seemed like that until for something that went very wrong here and convenient and very wag the dog and then you have battled general mark milley come out and say that it was a righteous strike. there's nothing righteous about killing children. guest: i think most people understand that these was collateral damage and is not collateral damage if you don't kill a terrace this is the intelligence failure and it's really to carry on the sunday that has been a parade of incompetence with this withdrawal this is sort of a regardless of what your views are on the america's longest war in afghanistan this year incompetence of the decision-making at the top should give everybody pause and entice into the rage the lot of ordinary american feel when they elected leaders in the political class

kennedy. you had an interesting line and said biden administration relating to the border lie like they breatheut illegal immigrants. explain that to us. >> sean, i can't think of a single presidential administration that has broken more plates in his first 9 months than the biden administration. you talked about it. afghanistan, crime, critical race theory, gas prices. the destruction of america's energy independence. and yet, of all of the president's screw ups, there is not a single one greater than the crisis at the border. it is a crisis. this year over 2 million people will come into this country illegally and we don't have the slightest idea who they are. why? to me there are only 1 of 2 possible explanations. the first is incompetence. it may be that the president has put in charge of his immigration policy a bunch of pink haired wokers who don't know their ass from their elbow. i use ass in the king james bible sense. it may be that the president put in charge of his immigration policy people who should not be allowed to think for themselves because it's too dangerous. it may than the

administration will not do that. they're completely incompetent. kennedywe are hearing their shading the numbers in their favor to make it seemed like they're not too many americans at left in country. anthony blink and is saying only about 100 americans. we are hearing it may be as high or higher than 500. you have congressmen and people are running for congress like yourself, who are trying to rescue these people in their individual districts. they are having to work against the state department. so, is the united states government lying to us about how many americans are stranded in afghanistan? >> absolutely. the united states government is lying to the entire world right now. the biden administration, they have proven one thing is that they cannot be trusted at all. the numbers they are putting out, i do not believe them part i will not comment on any types of operations that may or may not be conducted right now to help x filtrate american citizens are allies but the biden administration cannot be trusted. i want to stress there are deputy chiefs of

there is another guy by the name of kennedy, this administration really needs to start -- they can start but we should crumple it up and toss it in the garbage. our number one priority, from the get-go, should be getting u.s. citizens out of afghanistan. i have talked to a number of veterans, and i think with the majority of americans, okay with leaving afghanistan. not okay with what was taken from us as we left. we left billions of dollars worth of equipment. u.s. citizens, taken from us, still there. 13 american heroes were taken from us. i can tell you that i spent just under a decade in military intelligence. what i would do, darken out the sky with our air superiority. predator drones, anything else that we have, on the ground. carve out a path for u.s. citizens to get to the airport. make sure they get out. >> julie: thank you very much. on the screen, the veteran crisis. veterancrisisline.net. we urge any veteran watching right now who needs help. thank you. >> thank you. >> julie: anita. >> anita: democrats, $3.5 trillion spending push colliding with some major budget deadlines.

kennedy made 11 or 12 decisions not to send combat troops. he did send advisers because that was done because of the eisenhower administration involvement in the vietnam war. and with the french, remember, there's a whole history here. kennedy was in vietnam in 1954 as a young senator, and saw that he was an anti colonialist. and he saw the french army struggling, and he thought it was ridiculous, or he was a smart young man. and he went to al jeremy and didn't go to algebra him in his speech about algeria condemning the french army in their war. and algeria colonialism did not work for him. remember, he was irish, he was an english, and he had an in an attitude, a rebellion against the colonial world. he did not want to see this continue here. great relations with africa moved the lumber affair. willie destroyed his, i mean he was upset beyond belief at numbers, murder, c, i was involved. kennedy was working for peace on every level, indonesia, he had a great relationship with the non, to him was a mistake. and he was, he had to withdraw quietly. he had to, he couldn't put it up for a vote because he was going to come up for a vote in novembe

kennedy: yeah. colombia, panama is expecting 80,000 haitian my grants, chris. so the administrationwhere they don't want to be. no administration wants to be here. as politico pointed out today, they are mired knee deep in immigration politics, and this situation isn't going to solve itself anytime soon, and it's not going away anytime soon. so what should the administration do about it? >> well, first of all, this is the result of decades of a broken immigration system. we have people here who are leaving brazil because they left haiti after earthquakes, went to brazil to work for the olympics building those facilities, and now they're coming here. we have a lot of jobs open in this country. i bet a lot of those immigrants would do well to serve those jobs, and we should have a process to match them with those jobs and bring them into this country -- >> there really is modern slavery. >> -- immigration reform bill that passed the senate and was not brought up in the house would have put together a process that would have done that and would have also given extra money to secure the

the native ambition that kennedy possessed that compelled him to solve the economic growth problem of his day had constituted the reason and credibility behind the administration's commitment to seeing the tax cut through. with kennedy gone, the mechanism of the tax cut that had kept the logic keen and the moat of force strong was gone, too. no matter, the phenomenal quality of the prosperity it had unleashed. so -- >> in other words, didn't take johnson long to undo the best damn policy he was associated with. for a lot of different reasons relating to the war and politics and whatnot, he raised tax rates. he managed to put the individual rate from 70 back to 78%. then began to unhinge the dollar. as i said, this is a bipartisan, non-partisan book. the next president, nixon, who i met many times and his family is dear friends of mine, but as knicks on once said to me when he was out of office and downtown, you don't think much of my economics, do you? i said, no, sir, i really don't. nixon raised taxes. nixon unleashed the dollar, unhooked it from any gold or any monetary discipline, and imposed massive regulations on the economy, including wage and price contr

the native ambition that kennedy possess that compelled him to solve the economic growth problem of his day that constituted the reason, and credibility, behind the administration's commitment to seeing the tax cut through. with kennedy gone, the mechanism of the tax cut cut the logic keen was gone too. no longer the phenomenal quality of the prosperity it had unleashed. so -- >> that works. we in other words. didn't take johnson long week to undo the best policy he was associated with. and for a lot of reasons related to the war and politics, whatnot. he raised tax rates. he might as well put the individual rate we from 70 to 70%. began to unhinged the dollar and, as i, said this is a bipartisan nonpartisan. bill so the next, president nixon, who i've met many times and his families dear friends of mine with, he said to me one who is office -- said no sir, i really don't with so nixon raised taxes. he unleashed the dollar for any cold with -- an imposed we regulations on the economy we -- again, in a bipartisan way, we we've got a democratic who got a, right and a democratic and republican who got it wrong. so how is the balance going to wind up tipping? i canno

president arriving at kennedy airport a short time ago. the administrationill focus on afghanistan only on the context of closing the chapter on 20 years of war and opening up a new chapter as this official put it of intensive diplomacy, intensive diplomacy. the president's approval rating has been falling from a high of 56% in june, down to 350% in the fox poll just released. the administration talked about opening up the new chapter, expect a lot of focus on climate change a lot on climate. a lot of topics will come up. there will be talk of covid, rules of the road on trade, invests in clean infrastructure will be part of the speech tomorrow. the central theme if there is one according to administration to stress the problems they say cannot be solved, liz by military force alone. the president speaking tomorrow. back to you. brian: elizabeth: connell mcshane, thank you very much. we have former i.c.e. acting director tom homan, liz peek. the president went on a bicycle ride at beach. refused to answer questions. the vice president went to a football game

kennedy: and you're going to see more standoffs between the press and the administration when you haverime minister who's unwilling -- a president who's unwilling to answer questions when he's sitting next to the prime minister of our greatest ally, arguably, western europe, who was happy to take questions from the if british press corps, and that's why the press en masse marched into jen psaki's office to file a formal complaint. will that have any purchase? >> i mean, when she answered the question in the briefing, she blames the british prime minister for not alerting them that he was going to take questions. so, listen, it's how you phrase it, how you package it. it's clear now to everybody who covers this white house that this prime minister is avoiding -- this president is avoiding questions. he has not answered questions since really the afghanistan fallout, since the booster shot fallout from the fda, since a lot of things, clearly, they're trying to protect him. it opens up more questions, and i think you're seeing more of the media jump into that fray. kennedy: and they say,

itself expose the fact we've been lied to one way or the other by four administrations and a whole bunch of politicians. kennedy what has happened in afghanistan? you look where the taliban were in 2001 when we went over there and where they are now. is that what victory looks like? >> and no, but that is never stopped especially this present from crane the narrative that makes sense for him. that is the problem with this. you stand on that pulpit and tell people what you think or how you see things. we don't ever get checked on it. even when reporters stand for the present they saw father questions a little bit. you never get a chance to look at him and ask them how can you say that, how can you say you might partner with an organization that killed thousands of us it would kill hundreds of thousands of us. how can you say isis-k is our biggest enemy when the majority of isis kr taliban fighters who did not feel taliban leadership was quite worthless enough. and to go beyond all the rhetoric here, one problem he's not addressing as a taliban leadership will not be able to keep these 18 -- 25 -- 27-year-old fig
