kennedy: absolutely.gress is so unpopular, given the choice most americans would prefer a magic 8 ball over the marbled clown car, that is capitol hill. one representative escaped the imperial swamp. he tells us what is wrong with congress? that's next. so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. . kennedy: new data shows congress has an 11.8% approval rating. woo! i can smell that from here. all they want to do is sit around and fight and blame the koch brothers, do the house and senate properly function? let's ask a man who got out. thaddeus mccotter, author of "liberty risen, the ultimate triumph of libertarian republicans." thad, let's talk about your days in the house. did the house function as ineffectively as it does now? >> i had the pleasure of serving with john dingell, the gentleman who served longest of any person in the

kennedy was . conspiracy after all the warren commission got it wrong. "jfk" her stone's film provoked the passage, and 4 million pages of assassination records were subsequently placed in the national archives. now we can read the transcript and even listen to the phone conversations that reveal how johnson could jolt senator russell to serve on the commission and exactly how lbj used the threat of world war iii and 40 million dead americans to force chief justice earl warren into doing what he had refused three times to do -- twice to robert kennedy and the first time to johnson, until confronted with that terrible threat, namely, to head up the commission that bears his name today. 50 years after the publication of the warren commission report, it has become clear that the longer we had to study the case, the wronger the commission's findings become. i'll put it that way. thank you very much. i'll be happy to take any questions you might have.

and then, there is the word of kennedy himself. he said he was the guy who turned off the operations. robert kennedy had told him he got in the -- in writing something from the cia that they would not kill castro. how does that fit in with what you are saying? >> i believe they were not going to kill castro. i am with you on that, but we could also cite a number of things that indicate the reverse. >> why would the cia admitted their own good document, for copies only, never supposed to be released that would not have been released otherwise with the cia says in its own, it's kind of like the kid with his hand in the cookie jar and says he did not seal the cookie, but then he goes and writes in his diary that he did steal the cookie. which are you going to believe? >> only that it makes eminent sense to convince robert kennedy that the plan he had been part of was what got his brother killed -- >> i get that, and i agree that is a theory that works really well, but it works equally well it's it just is out there to convince the pub

kennedy.to me one of the essential the noble things about fdr is the division of government. if it's not just its aspirations that the government can do, it is the realism about what our expectations of government should be. it's always going to fall short of the expectations and there is a tension between the aspirations for government and limited expectations for the ability to do it. we have to believe that these problems are worth solving and we have to understand that in a lot of ways it's beyond our ability to solve them and john f. kennedy had of it, too. i think that he departed a major way as he is passing all these programs he communicates to the country as though the problems that affect humankind throughout its history during the reach of solving. these are the most hopeful times at the time he gives that speech in october of 1964, johnson is on the other side of the country and he says it is a time of peace on earth and goodwill among men and the timing is now. that's a pretty rem

but with kennedy, i don't know. that gave me a profile, it sure did, but there was a little rub to it. there were people saying that i went bail for kennedy and i didn't tell the truth -- all i knew about kennedy, which is not true, but that was the minor, minor, minor downside of the relationship. c-span: would you advise a young reporter today to be as close to a... >> guest: well... c-span: ... source as you were? >> guest: ... i don't know. you can't assign a guy to cover a politician and sort of understood that that person will get close. you've got to get close to know you've got to get close to the politician and to the people around him or else you won't know him. you won't be able to report accurately. i don't see how you can say a "get close but don't get too close." as soon as he really gives you something good, bail out. there's a great deal of self-regulatory mechanisms in that relationship. if you think for a minute that my colleagues weren't reading every word in newsweek about kennedy and if they had

it gave you kennedy. kennedy was a more attractive television candidate than the. than nixon.en -- >> would he have ever been elected in the back room? >> i don't know. a lot of the back room politicians were catholics. they might have produced kennedy. running against kennedy was lyndon johnson, who was not at that stage a great favorite of the bosses. >> what is your perception of television news? how has it changed the way the washington post comes out every day? i think that for years the post has been edited by people partealize an appreciable of the news in your paper has been available on television and radio before the paper comes out. that the most important part -- not the most important part, always. when you get on a roll like ergate television, didn't cover it well. it was not photogenic. news -- i network think what cnn is doing and what you guys do has changed, we edealt thecards -- r cards. you take out whether an stocks for the average network news, you probably have 20 items. ather an stocks, 22 minutes. andou want to know more, our theory here is

kennedy gets assassinating. his take on this is that those racist secret service people in washington had told him they would not give their life for kennedy because of what kennedy was doing for colored people. he thought this was something the war in commission needed to know. he thought that there were 2 plots to kill kennedy. one in florida and one in chicago in october and november of 1963 that the war in commission would not be told about. he starts complaining to his superiors that we need to get this information. they say no, stay out of this. he decides he's going to secretly get information to the commission. dc.omes to washington history. find out about him. n, charged withe taking bribes treaty goes to jail. the first black secret service agent, jail for three years. part of what she is in a mental institution. i never knew this story. most of us never knew this story. this is tied into the bigger issue. part of the reason they went after him was because he would have exposed something called operati

kennedy assassination records act of 1992. since the time of the assassination, there have been numerous official investigations starting with the warren commission. some congressional investigations. the church committee looked into it. in the early 1990's, there was a movie that came out by oliver stone. at the end of the movie, he made a point of saying that all the records have been open and available. >> mr. chairman, members of the subcommittee, my name is oliver stone. i assure you it is with pleasure and with some pride i appear before the subcommittee today to urge the passage of house joint resolution 454 to provide for the expeditious disclosure of records relevant to the assassination of president john f. kennedy. >> there are various finding aids. the national archive has created a database of the items that were released after 1992 in response to the act, which actually, the database entries were created by the agencies that were holding the record. the national archives created the database itself. then all of t

kennedy and kennedy's assassination is really going to send shock waves throughout the country but by 1964 it also provides a context for comprehensive civil rights legislation and 64 is the year of not just the passage of the civil rights act but the year of freedom summer and this year is the 50th anniversary of the summer project and freedom summer which is an experiment in interracial democracy in mississippi, something stokely carmichael contributed to and many others did. the freedom summer is most remembered for the murders, the tragic murders of cheney and goodman, three civil rights workers who were killed right outside philadelphia, mississippi, went missing june 21st, 1964. 1965 is recalled as the year of the voting rights act. in march of 65 in alabama at the edmond had this bridge, non-violent demonstrators were routed by alabama state troopers including future congressman john lewis who was chairman of the student nonviolent coordinating committee. that violence in 1965 inspires lyndon johnson on march 15th, 1965, in a joint address to congress to says that civil rights

kennedy, senator kennedy will be the next president of the united states.oumacher: kennedy won with a margin so narrow that people still argue over what tipped the balance. but nixon had no doubt. he blamed the recession of 1960 for costing him the election. historians still argue over the significance of the recession of 1960 but economists at the time were convinced that the budget surplus cost the economy jobs and growth by keeping dollars in the hands of the government rather than consumers. had eisenhower been willing to end his presidency with a deficit he might have presented his successor with more growth and the prospect of even larger surpluses in the future. we asked economic analyst richard gill to explain why economists might be opposed to budget surpluses. i've already pointed out that the federal interest payments and the national debt itself were falling all through the 1950s as a percentage of our national income. thus there seemed no urgent reason to try for a budget surplus at this time. more significantly the predominant keynesian view o

kennedy, bobby kennedy, and those all have important be sections on civil rights. but when you think about it, it's sort of the story about the blind men describing an elephant, you know? one touches the trunk and doesn't know about the tail and such. it's the same thing when you're doing biography. biography is a great format, but one thing that it does is it can't help but overemphasize the role of the subject in whatever they're talking about. even if the author tries to downplay it, the readers can say, well, you know, obviously lyndon johnson or john f. kennedy was absolutely central to the way the civil rights act passed, you know? it was his bill or his bill. and none of that's wrong. i think, as i said, there's some wonderful biographies out there. but they just, by nature, don't tell the whole story. and that is the way the story is often told. so what i wanted to do was say, well, what if we make the civil rights act the core? what happens then? and i was motivated also by, you know, my understanding of the way the political process works and a basic awar
