it was the eight sacrament to be for john f. kennedy. at passed out literature in my neighborhood about it. i remember a woman slamming the door and saying, i don't support papist to be added not know what that was. it was a big deal to us. there was a lot of anti-catholic prejudice. >> i was seven at the time, but i have a very vivid memory of our principal walking into our second grade class from at band nine school in silver crews, new york. only two things i remember after that was when i got home, standing on the coffee table and my father holding me while i was crying and the drums. and then on sunday, on the tv and watching live oslo being shot by ruby. what got you interested in politics? >> guest: honestly, john f. kennedy did. that is one reason why i did the book. i have always had it in the back of my mind. i wanted to write about this once the had the time and resources to do it. we tried, we are doing a big project on kennedy. the book is a five-year project. that is why it 600 pages. if you give an academic another year he

john f. kennedy himself has a sense of history and his place in history. so from the time they started coming in, before there was a presidential library they were archi archived and kept. so much depends on the research. i do my research right, if i cannot write it, i better throw my pen away. but i got lucky. in research you have to be good. i wrote a brilliant book and i was doing another book and saw hints there was a great british man award that on its own sailed 1200 miles before a sea captain discovered it. i said it is ghost ship and i need to do a book on that. and i am giving the key note address at the sea port and a man says i am bill peterson and i am the cureratter of the mystic sea port. and i said have you heard of this ship and he said have have been keeping a scrap book on this. thank god he didn't want to write a book i said. get this for being lucky. i said i am not going to be able to read 3 million people. but i know enough informed people they can lead me to where the topics are. kennedy and his cathlioliciscat. i am going to read 5-

. >> next on booktv, john shaw recounts john f. kennedy's tenure in the u.s. senate serving in the 1953-1960 where he engaged in the debates of the day and developed the political acumen that served him during his presidency. this is about an hour and 15 minutes. [applause] >> my, it's great to be around this table once again today, because we've had some wonderful breakfasts with ambassadors from all over the world. i think in due course we will have a chance to visit with all of them. the conversations go beyond breakfast, they continue on until everything going on in the world and how, in fact, diplomacy might better interact with our congress, with our administration, with others in washington, our leadership. i'm excited about this idea, and, of course, it really follows through with work that my friend john shaw has done. he's inspired me really to have a new chapter in my life after the senate, continuing to think about the rest of the world, think about ways in which those who wish to offer service might be more effective. and more humane. let me just

well, today when i would like to talk about is senator john f. kennedy. and i want to do it in the following way first to give you a sense of how he came to write this book. there were some 40,000 bucks allegedly on jfk. so you sort of have to ask yourself, is there really a need for another book? and that was sort of the first threshold that i had to cross. and i will explain to you why i thought that there was intelligence to write this book. secondly i want to just describe what kind of senator john f. kennedy was. and then lastly, i want to go into a little bit more stag live from. kind of counterfactual analysis and consider a couple alternatives pass that his career might have taken if the fates it chains just a little bit. and i will do that at the end of my remarks. the book actually arose directly out of my work. i was just at the end of the book. i had not identified all the research and a little bit of the riding. i was in the final chapter in a need to put his career into context and understand how we fit in with the course of history. so i ha

kennedy matters to a new generation i met by the way at a personal moment john kennedy won. i was twenty four years old driving in a car with three friends in palm beach looking at the sights has a scar from behind oh my gosh he was parked he died of a car said how could you hit me on this week and said you want to change license this is no just raise your hands from was the vote for me. and that began my new role. virginity you had of course very well you're only thirty four what prompted you to write your produce in your journey what prompted you to write this book well i think for some time now our country has moved away in some sense from the message of ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country and the first time i heard this clip as a teenager i was inspired i felt that there was something magical about these words and about this president and i believe that he offers us a roadmap for how we can bring our country back on track and so i wrote this book and you're as the key messages what do you wear us to young people to do well first

john f. kennedy. -- it reminds me of edward kennedy. particularly later in the later years they had it on c-span. this is or toir. -- this is oratory. spectacular. old school. >> over the years, when were the big increases in the senate? in other words, when it started back at the beginning. how many senators were there? and how did it increase up to 100? initially 22 because not all of the states gratified the -- ratified the constitution when it convened on april 6 in the senate in 1789. gradually, of course, through the 19th century, the numbers increased. by 1988, they had 76 members. that began to pose some major procedural problems. all of the people out there seeking attention and whatnot. it was a lot easier than when they were a smaller body. finally, with the admission of alaska and hawaii in 1958 and 1959, they achieved 100. they had to cap the number in the house in 1911 because there just was no place for people to sit. they had to take the desks out and give everybody a bench to sit on in the house. >> page 249, this is no

the president was in florida and i was there and witnessed when john f. kennedy jr. was born and i saw him shortly after his birth. >> in the photograph you can sort of see you peering behind and in a lot of the photographs you have to sort of taken out because he tries to stay in the shadows. his job is not to be in the photographs but you will see him as we go along to the the so even though you were with mrs. kennedy, you spent a lot of time with president kennedy as well just because you were so close to the family. >> yes i have a great deal to do with president kennedy and in this particular photograph in florida. i had been advised that the president's brother-in-law and best friend were going on a little walk and periodically the president and mrs. kennedy would go out to check on them and then the secret service would have to go out there and be there so they would volunteer me. >> how long was this what? >> 50 miles. so i put on the only shoes i had done what last that long. they were weighing a tip. we went out to the sunshine partly and started walking to

you may have heard john f. kennedy faced that warning baller headed into the country. but bill and i are trying to do is present a portrait of the environment that gave us reputation of the country. so when you get into each of these stories, several are quite fascinating. you have the wealthiest man in the world with a radio program devoted to taking down john f. kennedy. kennedy propose to have a medicare program at hl hunt's radio announcers came on the air, hundreds of stations across the country, millions of listeners telling them this medicare idea will make the president and medical star over every american citizen. to get to answer your question, when you have this intensity we saw, we just want to immerse ourselves in the reacherreaders in an environment of whether made that decision. >> is going to ask a question later, the lead me to it. there is a recent blogger for "the new yorker" who identified the continuity of the lease between the 1953, as you describe, and the president. assuming a kind of burnout health care, i feel that's where the audience was lau

trip in 1963, you may have heard john f. kennedy sage jacklin that morning while we are headed into -- and what bill and i are trying to do is to present a portrait of the environment in dallas. when you delve into each of these stories and some of them are quite fascinating you have the wealthiest men in the world, h. l. hunt bankrolling a radio program that was devoted to taking down john f. kennedy and when kennedy propose to have the medicare program hl hunt's radio announcers came on the air hundreds of stations across the country billions of listeners telling them that this will lead to government -- will make the present day medical czar which i think is a russian word, czar. every american citizen so i finally get to answer your question. when you have this kind of intensity like we saw in dallas we wanted to immerse ourselves in the readers and the environment as much as possible so that is why we made that decision. >> i was going to ask this question but you kind of led me to it, which is there was a recent blogge

and then in 1960 john f. kennedy was elected president. one thing a lot of people don't realize is when administrations change, they bring in all of their own people. the one thing that stays the same is the secret service. so you assumed you were going to be transferred to president kennedy's detail, but you found out that you were being assigned to mrs. kennedy. and what did you think about that? >> i was very disappointed. felt like somebody had demoted me to the second team. because all the action in the past had always been with the president, and that's where i wanted to be. i knew how they treated agents with first ladies previously. they watched fashion shows and tea parties and canasta games. that's about all they did. so i didn't want any part of that. but i had to accept the assignment, and i did. >> and when you met mrs. kennedy, she was very pregnant and about two weeks into the assignment you got a phone call. >> yes. it was thanksgiving night, 1960, and i got a phone call. i was at my home, and the phone call told me that th

you look back at your father's friend, john f. kennedy, in the early days. the bay of pigs happened -- >> right. >> -- and the first pass at that. and they were still struggling. in the course of of doing this documentary, one of the things that becomes very clear to me is that his presidency, i think, was still a work in progress, and we don't know in the long haul about how it'll be judged. he was obviously more comfortable at the end. the cuban missile crisis was all that it's been said to be, it was a brilliant way of dealing with a very dangerous situation s. and he seemed to have more self-confidence. and he had a better sense of who his players were by then. by then he was beginning to sort people out, you know, i don't want to listen to him, i'm going to listen over here. so i think in the obama case there's still -- we're going to be looking in the rearview mirror for a while and seeing kind of what's important. it's, for me, presidential power is endlessly fascinating and unfathomable in terms of answering it with certainty because it's so situatio

did john f. kennedy use this to his advantage as a political partnership. >> they had a mastery of television and that sort of thing. we will talk about the fact she did not have a major impact on policy, nor did she want one and did she want one, and he did not talk to her about it. he did seek her out for advice. i think this is the case that if he was going to have any connection with her, at all, in terms of politics it would be when they went off on these trips or when they were coming back from political trips. she did go to 36 of the 48 states in 1969 and 1960, when they were out with the rank-and- file. she was on the phone with him, saying, that one is phony, that when israel, that one is stupid, that one is smart. >> you hear the people that she criticizes, the secretary of state -- these are the people who tended not to do too well in the kennedy administration, like robert mcnamara. they did not just listen to her. in those days, they went to taxes on the month of november and since t

. >>> it's been a long time, and it's a far cry from the speech by president john f. kennedy challenging americans to conquer space, which we did by the way in short order. these days our astronauts ride to space on board russian spacecraft. and they make up part of the crew of the space station. there's a problem on board. one of two crucial pumps has blown. they're running on backup. it will take three spacewalks to fix it. the problem is, during the last spacewalk, an astronaut's helmet filled with water. so today, nasa said the astronauts will wear snorkels along with exor ents pads to make sure they don't drown. >> they think they know why the astronaut's helmet filled with water last july. now they've cut some rubber tubing to make sure and have snorkels for astronauts. on board today, they were inspecting the space suits they'll be wearing for saturday's mission. one of those suits will be the one worn by the italian astronaut last july when he nearly drowned after his helmet suddenly filled with water. >> water is in his eyes now, and it seems to be increasing

one of the reasons for that is the course that i teach at the john f. kennedy university is taught and my intention is to bring my students here in the spring to help them learn about the community in the areas they're going to be in and help them bring their educates to building and strengthening the current eco center that's already there. both organization have a long history of work along the bay front with the port of san francisco. we'll do with our graduate students is work to do a survey and conduct acquires and the estimation to build partnerships and what are the educates and interests of the community to build strong relationships between all the oeshsz they will assist in learning about the community and help to make connections. i ask you to grant shoourdship to the bay foundation. >> (calling names). >> commissioners. >> corrin had to leave but asked i read here comments. >> go ahead amy read corrin woods statement. i'm very excited about the bay institute aquarium foundation for operation and programming of the eco center at herself reope

>> but john, it is kind of the issue because sometimes a rising tide lifts all boats to quote john f. kennedy, rick's favorite president. if you look at what happened under the reagan term, the lower 20% and the top 20% increased by double digits after those tax rate cuts. >> i'm one of those people who believes that income and equality is unrelentingly beautiful. when that expands that means that life-style and equality is shrinking. people generally get rich by virtue of mass producing that which was formerly available to rich people. they're not producing enough inequality and that's giving a great deal less life-style enhancements for those not rich. >> but the ttom line is that when you have a slow economy like we had in the 70s, the rich very often get richer but the poor get poorer. that didn't happen during the reagan era, did it? >> no, it didn't. look, it's not just the obama administration's fault. it's the bush administration's fault. the cheap dollar policy creates financial bubbles. who can take advantage of financial bubble? the rich. the poor always have to sell out at

but in 1959, i persuaded senator john f. kennedy to be for the idea. that's what changed the whole situation. kennedy and johnson in the campaign of 1960 came out for medicare. kennedy appointed me the assistant secretary of hew to get the bill through congress. i spent five years doing that. finally, in 1965, medicare, an insurance program for those 65 and older, and medicaid a federal/statehealth p, were passed. president lyndon johnson flew to independence, missouri and in the presence of harry s. truman, signed the bills into law. medicaid covered the health care costs of millions of low-income people. we asked henry aaron if that met our sponsibilities to tse who couldn't afford medicacare. this woun't be a problem if all stes providedenefits as generous ashose in say the upper third or upper half of the distribution. sometates provide meager medicaid benefits-- fewer than 10 days a year ofospitalization, severe limits on the number of doctor's visits one can receive-- so that even moderate illnesses may not be fully protected under the medicaid p

: and john f. kennedy went to choate. >> president kennedy went to choate, i think i was six or seven and when the funeral -- >> rose: that would have been in 1968. >> yes, so the whole weekend we acted out the funeral around the grounds of choate walking solemnly with a red wagon and a shoe box in it. there was something about -- i had some need to maybe to be witnessed, to act things out, to experience it. >> rose: i remember the soaring rhetoric of the remaining brother, edward kennedy which was, he had first of all to do the eulogy in the democratic national convention for his brother, the slain president, and his brother the attorney general, and presidential candidate, you know and he said do not make him larger afterlife than he was in life and went on to talk about, you know, the virtues that he had in life. so back to 12th night and richard iii, olivia, tell me where she is going, what -- how do you get inside a woman's head? >> well, she is a person, you know. she is a woman, so she has d

the mayors noted that former president john f. kennedy called on international leaders to sign a treaty banning nuclear testing. they say his daughter's position gives them hope this can become a reality. they thanked her for going to nagasaki last month and asked her to visit hiroshima next. ambassador kennedy said president obama would visit if the mayors asked him directly. they plan to send a letter of invitation to president obama. >> translator: i understand, the ambassador is hoping for a nuclear-free world, too. >> matsui hopes kennedy will become an important bridge between the two countries. >>> companies in japan say they are confident about the economy. ron madison is here to explain one of japan's mosted looked at quarterly reports. >> seems like the optimists are outnumbering the pessimists yet again this quarter. in fact, some areas showing a positive number for the first time in years. executives are growing more confident about the state of the economy. a gauge of business sentiment has improved now for the fourth

we have to assume that john f. kennedy's conscience would be guided by his catholic faith. when it comes to obamacare, my bible teaches me that life begins at conception. i do not think i should be forced to pay for other people's abortions. for people of religious faith, many believe the bible is a guidepost when it comes to the sanctity of human life. it is a totally appropriate ad. the people of arkansas and not some legislature but the people of arkansas will decide if that is the kind of senator they want or not. guest: here is where bible interpretation turns into a conflict between the two of us. the bible never mentions abortion or obamacare. we do know that abortion or fetusg a miscarriage of a was not the same thing as hurting or killing the mother. every other reference may be poetic. you turn to the bible and you are looking at the wrong document. guest: i could not disagree more, barry. host: i will get our viewers involved. loretta isfirst, -- first. caller: merry christmas, everybody. i do not know where to begin. we should have a separation between church an
