that a littlek to bit, the long shadow and how shifts in media affects our views of presidents. >> theonventional wisdom on the waterfront is, you do not have great presidents without war. it is a chance to show yourself in leading the country in a conflict. the media definitely matters. the people who can master it, who are good at it, the clichÉ is kennedy in his press conferences, able to talk to the press, they were not really challenging him, but he charmed them when they were naturally under his control. barack obama, he certainly is a president of social media and he has used that very well. it'll be interesting to see what happens afterwards, of the people that come next, if they will be able to do that, because none of them seem terribly savvy. i guess trump tweets. his twitter feed is going all the time. the others, i do not know. cruz or sanders, i do not know what they're doing. >> ted cruz, in his trip to new york, he went to a matzoh factory. >> i think that is an interesting question. >> we can hear you. >> louder. >> is that all right? sorry, that was too far. ok, good.
