kennedy and robert kennedy had with the latinos. because there were pictures, you know, in homes, and entering the farm workers boycott. so i just wondered if there is any research that you've come across, how the impact of latinos had with the president kennedy? >> i haven't done any on that topic, although i'm glad you mentioned, delores hur tee, with robert kennedy who worked a lot with migrant workers in 1968 and caesar chavez and got to know them in a very profound way that went beyond just politics. but, again, there was kind afof theological dimension, going mass together. and i think robert kennedy identified a lot with the liberal part of the catholic social justice movement. so there was something really important in that. and the alliance for progress was clearly a major initiative, it's an announced at the beginning of the kennedy administration, i think it's a great topic for more research. they also have their biggest headache is in latin america too. so it's a pretty rich thing to go into. >> and we could have more sc

kennedy: one would hope. but democrats' heads are catching fire over this tax plan and all of a sudden they are responsible fiscal stewar stewal stewards. >> the idea that the democrats are now concerned about debt and spending is absolutely preposterous. it's the most of preposterous hypocrisy we ever see. the real problem is, if republicans wanted to radically overhaul the tax system, you could abolish the irs and do away with the income tax and end the war on work. if there was -- filthiest perversion of our tax code is the fact the federal government punishes work and rewards indolens. if you switched that one simple thing it would do much to fiction what's wrong with our country. kennedy: i'm buying what you are selling. whatever dispense are you you are opening in colorado, i'm lined up before the doors open. but unfortunately we are not going to have the thanks reform necessary to have economic growth in this country. there is such a disconnect between spending and taxing. when people talk about the es

kennedy. i have just gone through the transcripts and i'm affirmed. it is an extraordinary moment of leadership. it is sort of cliche but we are all here today because of the wisdom that he showed. i want to suggest that john f. kennedy bears some responsibility for the cuban misl crisis happening in the first place. it influenced his decision to put the missiles in cuba. so there were challenges. let's remember that the cold war in 1961 is a very tense time. i don't think anybody knew how it was going to turn out. >>. >> that's a wondserful answer. that's a reckoning all historians have to come to terms with at the -- you asked about chal len -- challenges. we all live in a fractured country. politics is really tough. neither party is very united but the only thing they are united on is they really hate the other side. some of that goes back to that time. i think peoples faith was shattered in life itself. i think in many ways we are trying to come to terms with our disappointment since that

>> kennedy: it we will see. the rnc is on track to raise a record amount of money, while the dnc's slowest total for the month of november in ten years. what that could meet at the midterms. a politically biased agent at the fbi. >> as an american citizen, i am nervous and discontented that people would have those kinds of lack of impartiality and that of students. you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. >> kennedy: a fox news alert, a new development with the special counsel robert mueller's counsel team appeared they have been questioning rnc staffers before the election. they worked with the trump campaign to reach out to swing state voters, and they are trying to figure out whether the russians were also part of that effort. plus, jared kushner's lawyer isn't searching for a crisis public

kennedy. many of the events he was present at and tragically i was in dallas when he was assassinated. why this ex-here in the american art museum at this time? well, it's centennial of his birth. 100 years ago, on may 29th, he was born. how do you put an exhibit like this together? where do you start? well, first you start with a few researchers. and we collected, actually, 34,000 photographs of jfk and his family. it took about six months. and it became the basis of a very important book that we published with harper collins. and from those 34,000 pictures and the 400 some odd pictures in the book, we were able to select 77 photographs that we felt told the story of jfk and his life and times. jfk was a modern president. john f. kennedy was one that saw america's place in the world. he was a man who understood history. he had served in world war ii. he understood the issues of civil rights. he understood many of the conflicts that were starting around the world. so he was a man with a vision
