in fact, we know that president john f. kennedy, at that point, candidate john f. kennedy, senator john kerry had selected someone else to be his running mate. he had asked him and he accepted and was writing his acceptance speech. that night, lyndon baines johnson and house speaker sam rayburn showed up in jackie's hotel room in los angeles late at night and they had with them a file, a dossier on john kennedy's sex life. this had been supplied to them by j. edgar hoover. hoover was a next-door neighbor of lyndon johnson was a close political ally of lyndon johnson. between 1951-1961 the fbi budget has tripled due to the actions of senate majority leader lyndon johnson. when lyndon johnson stole his election in 1948, but a totally disputed and fraudulent 86 votes, j. edgar hoover flew down for the victory party in austin. so they were very close and, of course, hoover had his own motives. he knew he was facing mandatory retirement. he knew the kennedys would put him out to past year in 1954. so his motive was clear. in any event, johnson's matches for kennedy was,

john kennedy won by a sliver and yet very quickly, he gained a kind of popularity. by the start of his second term, people see the fact that a president doesn't walk on water. he is not a miracle worker as some people like to think. it is more difficult for him especially is he -- if he is dealing with an opposition in congress. >> the subtitle of this book that you just wrote, inside the kennedy white house, you talk about the individuals there. there are still people that we are talking about today -- everybody knows their name, i wonder if there is anybody in this administration who will be talked about 50 years from now. >> that is an interesting question. i think valerie jarrett -- after all she has been there for five years and there is every reason to believe she is going to be there for another three years. i think some historian is going to want to get her papers, interviews with her if possible, since she among all the insiders at the white house probably has been closer to president obama than any other advisor. i think she is certainly one name that will

kennedy. one of the things that i found -- after nixon's nastiest campaign, his california race against helen douglas, and democrats would forever turn game them. after that kennedy spoke to students at harvard and said i'm glad she lost, wouldn't want to have to work with her. kennedy supported his membership in a country club, and jackie invited the nixons to their wedding, when jack kennedy was laid up with a bad back, nixon helped in the reorganization of the senate and protected him. i won't call them friends. they were politics. no one is really friends in this business -- >> host: tip opeel and ronald reagan were friends. >> guest: right. they were friendly. colleagues, roughly the same age, and suddenly kennedy was playing rough. nothing was held back. and he felt he was really being roughed up by the ken kennedys. a really rough campaign and furthermore, the thought when it was over it had been stolen. he thought he actually on it and people still argue about that. if he had won illin

i was 3 years old when john kennedy was assassinated. i campaigned for bobby kennedy at 8 years old in new york city. and i've always been fascinated by observing their behavior. the amount of power that they have, the amount of secrecy that they hold and the burdens that they hold, i've always been fascinated with watching, waiting for that moment where it actually comes through and just sneaks through what they actually give to us every day in a public way. so i've always been fascinated by that. i think that was the beginning of my interest in acting. so that was the approach i've just watched a whole lot of footage on all of the presidents that we have been able to have documented. and just behavior. and then i have to just sit back and let the oval office play me, president. i have to have kevin play me president, my chief of staff play me president and then i can just be me. >> season one was fascinating in many ways because you saw the layers of behavior of the political figures. both underwood and your character. you see them on

in 1961 elect john kennedy said our government and every branch must be a city on the hill, men aware of their great trusts and great responsibilities. if we are indeed a city on the hill, it rests firmly on the bridges senators built when they face even the deepest of divides. i mentioned my closest friendships across the aisle because it is those bridges that we lack the most today. the epiphany i had as a young man hitchhiking around the world 52 years ago i believe is even morell srapbt today. -- more relevant today. advances in technologies and communications made us more interconnected as ever, ever before. the challenges of globalization bind us together even more. climate change, we're all in this together. terrorism, economic development, education can only be addressed with good faith and a commitment to finding common ground. i am committed in my next chapter to meet these challenges. the united states-china relationship i believe is one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world. it will shape global affairs for generations. we must get it right. 30 years a

as john kennedy said about having differences of opinion, let us not be blind to them but let us also direct our attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. the administration and the senate have a common interest to prevent a nuclear weapons capable eye -- capable iran. we have a difference of how to achieve them. we have an obligation to debate those differences and concerns, but i won't yield on a principle difference. it's our obligation to debate the issues, express our differences and outcomes and come to this floor to work together to resolve them. at the end of the day, my hope as someone who has been working on this for 20 years can see the fruition of a successful negotiation by the president and the administration so that iran will never have a nuclear weapon capability. but by the same token, i think we need to be poised to ensure that we use the last element of peaceful diplomacy, which is to ensure that there are sanctions that create a consequence to the regime so that they can put that in their equation as to it is bet

kennedy were there but he learned from experience and he learned from a failure and then even a large, and then even on a larger state he managed to get it out of crisis. >> and had he not -- when he came into the presidency jon is absolutely right, kennedy thought here are all of these joint chiefs and much older than than i than i am and they think this invasion of cuba, bay of pigs is a good idea who am i to differ with that and it can with can be shown they are really stupid and later he thought my judgment is better and so is my brother's bobby's and i better watch them every single minute which he did through the missile crisis and you hear on these tapes one of the most horrifying things is, the second kennedy walks out of the room, having said that we are going to do a blockade, you hear these joint chiefs saying this is munich chrks is chamberlain, you know, he is selling us out, and if you did not have a president who was willing to stand up to supposed expertise, you would have had a disaster, which brings us to what might have happened had he lived to the time of vietnam.

john f. kennedy in 1960 elected from the senate. then barack obama in 2008 elected from the senate. hasn't happened since then. directly elected from the senate. if you look more recently, the five presidents before barack obama -- jimmy carter, bill clinton, ronald reagan, george w. bush. 4 of those 5 governors, two democrats and two republicans. let's continue the conversation focusing on the republicans. let's begin with the two republicans under investigation. chris christie and scott walker. as they look at 2016 are these investigations clouds or serious obstacles? >> they're clouds certainly in the short term especially for chris christie who really wanted to make 2014 his big year to shine. head of the rga, which is the group that's dedicated to electing gop governors across the country. he wanted to tour the country, get his name out there, take advantage of that post. obviously the first few months of the year have not gone as they originally thought. i think the jury is still out on the walker issue. it is not quite as clear as it is there with governor christie there was

he had the wrong wardrobe and so he appeared almost ghostlike on the screen next to john kennedy who was tanned and he looked like a movie star. fast-forward 1968 richard nixon is running for president again and the one thing he has to do to win the presidency is to win television and this medium that brought about his political downfall earlier in his career. he meets ailes on the set of the mike douglas show and he's carousing backstage. he says it's a shame a man like me has to use it you make to get elected in this legend goes he snapped back if you talk that way you're going to lose again. richard nixon was so taken with this young 27-year-old producer this rash kid to talk back to him that he told in his campaign advisers would hire him. within days roger ailes had had no blue expanse. he was involved in the young republican club. the people i interviewed did not talk about him being that politically active. he found himself on the richard nixon campaign in the crucial role of producing his televised town hall debates, his town hall appearances all over america. richard nixon a
