mrs. kennedy with doing for that building? mr. seale: mrs. kennedy and the president himself repackage the entire white house idea, the entire neighborhood, a new way of thinking about it. they formalized it and took its story and worked it and furnish the house to evoke that historical story and in so doing, the american people saw it better than they had ever seen it. the -- one of the supports for the interior work was a guidebook which she wrote and wanted to do. it -- to show how popular she was, it sold one million copies almost immediately. it was the first product of the white house historical association. then the ideas spread to the grounds and lafayette park is a long shadow of the president and mrs. kennedy -- they did not want high rise buildings that were already planned. there were big, white, marble, high rise buildings to be here at it simply got stopped right before his death. they left a mark of history and public identity on the house. ms. swain: it is interesting to note 56,000 people watched that telecast. charles was the

you know i can't help but relate to the kennedy assassination of this and i had a question to ask mr.ious when president kennedy was assassinated, mrs. kennedy referred to historical documents on the lincoln assassination to determine how the funeral was going to play out. when president lincoln was assassinated, did mary lincoln have any president to go to or did she just originate what later was duplicated with president kennedy's funeral? >> on the evening of november 22nd 1963, mrs. kennedy did exactly that referring to what happened in 1865. so thank you for that comment. not sure about mary todd lincoln, what she used for her own reference point. there is one photograph that a few -- a week and a half later in 1865, where president lincoln's body was laying in state in new york city. we'll go to ken who is joining us from fremont, california. again, live scenes outside of ford's theatre here in washington, d.c., and good evening, ken. >> caller: good evening, ken. i just have a quick question for mr. reynolds. in his opinion what is the best thing that lincoln has ever done? in

mr. kennedy, welcome, and what exactly is firstnet? t.j. kennedy: it is the first six -- the first responder network authority. it is similar to what people use today with smartphones and having the ability to share voice and data, but doing it in a critical way that will support paramedics every day to do their job. peter: is there an issue with first responders where they need their own network echo -- own network? t.j. kennedy: one thing that happens in big emergencies is that networks can often get caught, and those who need it most, public safety, don't always have the ability to get a signal when they need it. it has also relied for a long time on radio systems, and they serve a great focus -- great purpose. they are focused on voice technology. as you know, we are leveraging of what -- led -- leveraging what broadband can do. if you were able to leverage broadband for public safety there were be an advantage. peter: what is the status of firstnet echo is an online and available for first responders? t.j. kennedy: it was created in 201

mr. friend robert kennedy, said of robert kennedy he often quotes thomas jefferson decided to us to work, every man must have his voice heard in council of government. every man must have his voice heard in the councils of government. that is what democracy literally means. but have we ever had that in this country? if the greed of a minority tries the economy, do they live in a democracy at all? this is why as a political player the historical jefferson remains part of our national political conversation today. can anyone say that jefferson would do if you were president today? get a symbolism is such that america gages its ability to a pulp local virtues by invoking his name. readers of my previous books have e-mailed me with questions like where we jefferson stand on gays in the military. it is very often remarked on both sides of the i/o on capitol hill reading through the congressional quarterly if jefferson were alive today where would he stand? how do we know what jefferson democracy jefferson -- jeffersonian democracy would look like since it the quintessential value of the americ

mrs. obama thinks in a very organized way. there very well-structured in their mind. jackie kennedy was famous for i don't have a schedule. i like to do things spontaneously and different ones bring different things and i think mrs. johnson her love of words, she had a degree in journalism her love for writing and her love of cadence, her love of rhythm but also like you said the immediate experience brought back. that's not necessarily political in terms of policy but it ends up having a political result. >> this is not a new phenomenon. we have an image from the polk administration so we are going to go back in time. this was a time when women were supposed to stay in their sphere but mrs. pope didn't stay in her sphere quite so well. can you tell us about her? >> no she did not. as was a time of the cult of domesticity and chairwoman head when women were appendages to their husbands. they were not supposed to have political ideas of their own. they certainly were not supposed to voice those ideas that they did have them. mrs. polk had those ideas and did voice them at least to her husband and she reviewed his speeches.

mr. eisenhower was a ball of them the most universal. probably john kennedy was the most inspiring. i guess lincoln was the smartest, not in the patina in my estimation but common sense. he would know what somebody else was thinking. making people do things that he wanted done. i think he's the smartest most intuitive man that i knew. i have known them all and i have seen them all age. before my very eyes. with one exception. about three years or maybe for spent in that office we see it happen with lines etched in their faces and hair turning gray. the exception was lyndon. i don't think the age at all read visibly that it was maddening. he has more hair than i did. all those years older than i and none of it was gray. i thought that was a doggone shame. c-span: what do you think that happened? >> guest: he didn't worry. he knew how to turn it off. had a positive mental outlook and a saw that everything would come out all right. right now in the book you talk about a meeting and i bring it up because of iq to describe it to us. the two are waiting for many oval office. reagan was an

paul kennedy mentioned also helped us -- mr. connolly: talking about our military? mr. staal: yeah. we latched up really well and that's an important thing that we continue to build that. and also our relationship on the ground, you know training of search and rescue teams within nepal, first responders both in the government and even volunteers. that made a huge difference, prehi positioning supplies around the country both from us and the military side made a huge difference. hard to measure the negative, but that made a huge difference. coordination is still an ongoing challenge certainly in any disaster this big, especially in a country that has governance challenges. so certainly the government is leading the effort. but we have had to provide kite a bit of support to that in a number of ways. the u.n. system quickly set up the cluster system where you have groups a logistics cluster, so that all different agencies were providing humanitarian assistance can work together and that helped the government in terms of their leadership. but still -- and even one of the issues we noti

mr. connery. >> moo. [laughter] >> no. >> well, that's sound your mother made last night. [laughter] kennedy: never not funny. toss-up between him and turd ferguson, just so you know. topic number three. admit it, you've done it. you shouldn't have, but maybe you had a few sake bombs and loaded up car for some fast food. of course, it is always a bad idea to drink and drive, but it's a really horrible idea when you're in the bag over limit, you load a couple of 12-year-olds in the backseat and take your friend's husband's car. it is a god awful idea when that friend's husband is a sheriff's deputy in maricopa county, arizona. you grab the keys to his cruiser and throw the old siren on just to show off for the guy at jack in the box. well, that's exactly what elizabeth moore allegedly did, and this is the best mug shot we've seen in weeks. [laughter] you can still feel her tears. oh, she's so sad. yeah, it was probably tons of fun until she was nabbed by some colleagues wondering why the company vessel was being used for such a nefarious outing. we've got some arrest video. this is how ms. moore reacted when t
