jfk was one of the most fame us and popular presidents in history but a notorious womanizer. what is the difference really between what he used to get up to and what anthony weiner gets up to other than weiner never met these women? >> well, one thing that should be pointed out is all three of these people are progressive, liberal, civil rights advocates, supporters of women rights, and yet they engage in this kind of conduct. you have to distinguish filner who has victims from the others whose victims really are their wives and families and perhaps their constituents because it seems at least on the surface to be voluntary, but seems to me elliott spitzer, he worked for me, he was my research assistant so i may have a bias, is the most qualified person ever to run for controller in the city of new york and i suspect his competent will overcome his past mistakes and weiner's candidacy is questionable and filner is a good kiss but what he did was the worst of what all of the people did, and i am sure gloria will take him to task and make him pay very heavy consequences for wha

so jfk and fdr were people who had these affairs but they weren't exposed in real-time. who knows if we might have been denied of their leadership in this time. you look at george washington, thomas jefferson, dwight eisenhower. there were a the love men who were adulterers or worse and still managed to be good leaders. >> i think that's true. we have this strange simultaneously permissive and prudish culture. to see a picture like weiner's picture, it is hard not to freak out about that. and at the same time we're so set with the redemption narrative will it is sort of backwards. sometimes i think the initial scandal gave them name recognition and put a lot of people ended up supporting him without necessarily knowing a ton about his politics but they like this redemption narrative. i think that's something we're obsessed with. we're seeing with san diego mayor filner right now. i'm going to go to this magic box of rehab. >> we asked what do you care about. we mentioned racial profiling which is a huge issue here. 90% of people stopped. are found to be innocent. the vas

i pate considered not joining the peace corps i'm interested on hearing your thoughts and maybe how jfk would have used the peace corps for his political objective. >> i think regarding the u.s., what would it take i believe good leadership would be sufficient to bring a strong majority of the american people along a far more fruitful policy direction. i had the experience i remembered by ising president bush in the first weeks of the administration on the need to fight aids and tbn malaria the briefing condoleezza rice in the white house and it was interesting for me because i laid out what i thought was greeted with the $3 billion plan and one of my former students led me out of the west wing door to said that was a nice talk you don't stand a chia's it will not have been. it for a variety of reasons mostly because of the constituency in the republican party president bush ended up adopting the major global health initiative more than obama did with policies and when president bush left office and he is one of my least favorite presidents by the way. do not think this is praised other

her big break was covering jfk with her trademark thank you, mr. president. >> i saw that kennedy was really in a bind trying to answer questions. he went on and on trying to find the answer so then i got up and i said -- he said thank you! >> thank you, helen. >> in 1974 she was named a bureau chief. >> the first time in history that a woman has been selected for that high post. congraltulations. >> thomas married douglas cornell at the rival. >> i know that nancy upstairs would die. she is watching if i didn't call on you this that pretty red dress. >> thomas had strong opinions. >> clintons had suffered a lot on the campaign trail and had a lot of chips about the press. >> she became more outspoken in later years. >> your decision to invade iraq caused thousands of americans in iraq -- >> you know i didn't want war. to calm i wanted war is flat wrong, helen. in all due respect. >> no longer in daily journalism, she drew simple for taking sideses, but she was already a legend. >> what do you want to have said about you in your time covering the w

joining us now is commanding officer of the new york port authority police at both jfk and laguardia airports. sadly a veteran of several airplane crashes at those sights. and director of crisis and emergency management now at red redlin strategies incorporated. when you see the pictures of this plane almost everybody got out which is so astounding. obviously they had some time and with the help of those flight attendants to get down those slides. what is most important in those first few seconds when that plane came to a rest. >> they need to pay attention to what the flight attendants are telling them. flight attendants are trained to look out the windows and to see where the fire is. they will direct them which emergency exits to go to. if you're on an airplane, before it even takes off you want to look around for the nearest two exits to wherever you're sitting. you have an alternate if you can't get out the one you've chosen as a primary. as the flight attendants tell you the nearest exit might be behind you. >> that's interesting. they've got that video on the airplanes now whe

that was the moment when jfk finally said, i'm going to be for a civil rights act. he didn't ever have the opportunity to pass that legislation himself, but it was this moment when the president was finally called to peace because the children of a nation were suffering. we've also seen this president have to do the same thing, for example, after the newtown shootings. that's part of the sort of presidential history around what happens when children are at stake. but the part that is completely unique, the part that has never happened before and the part that i'm not even sure we can fully capture how important it is, is that the president of the united states, who is an african-american man, who is both of those things at the same time, african-american man and president of the united states, stood there at the podium with the official insignia of the white house behind him and said the history and the pain and the contemporary experiences of black people in this country matter, they shape how they experience something like the zimmerman verdict, and we, if we are

it doesn't happen that often. 100 at laguardia and jfk airports. 98 in central park. it was all the way from boyce i to new england as far as the heat went. as far as what we're going to deal with today, just as bad as yesterday. not worse but just as bad. the heat index in new york hasn't dropped below 90 during the overnight hours. we have 95 million people in either heat warnings or advisories from baltimore, d.c., philly, hartford, providence, boston and detroit. today, here's the forecast. high temperatures, again when you add humidity into this that's when we get the heat index of 105 to 110 all the way back to kansas city. the relief up in minnesota is, minneapolis today 86. it will be very nice there. >> san fran cool. >> that's typical for them. >> good morning, mika. >> good morning. >> coming up at the top of the hour on "morning joe," detroit files for bankruptcy. what the move means for the future of the city and how long it will take to get its finances back in order. former treasury official and economic analyst steve rattner will weigh in. and when we

you have laguardia, jfk, and l.a.x. as well. how difficult is that? are you presented with a problem? let's fats. water has a lower level of altitude. does that lend to confusion? >> no. i would say the water makes the approach more stable because you don't have as many thermals, warm air rising off the paetschment that can cause turbulence over the approach. over the water, it's a constant temperature and the aircraft tends to be more stable. >> something we talked about. wind shear comes to mind. we know there have been fatal accidents in the past because of wind sheer. could that be a factor here? >> i haven't heard any reports that there were heavy winds, so i doubt that. thing this is one of two problems. either the aircraft was slowly losing speed and the two pilots did not notice it and it got slow enough that it began to staal, a wing staal, that it can no longer fly and starts to sink and when they realized it was too late, that's one possibility. but there's another possibility concerning me because i am aware through researching it that the

temperatures in 47 of 50 states will be above 90 and jfk has a new record, 100 degrees set. the extreme heat may be to blame for the sparking wires at an industrial park. this is in new jersey. firefighters worked quickly to put out the flames but it is mighty tough weather out there. >> i know. we are getting hot weather here, too. >> we are going to see some heat away from the immediate coastline. it's going to be interesting how it breaks down over the next couple of days. some of those temperatures warming up. the clouds are just moving away back toward the coastline. looking good out over the bay right now. these temperatures running warmer than yesterday at this time. we're already at 80 degrees in livermore. 75 in concord. 72 in san jose. and 71 in santa rosa. so as we sail into the afternoon, looking like a very nice day outside. as you approach the coastline though, we'll still see some patchy fog. tonight, likely to see some patchy fog filling in along the coast and just inside the bay. but plenty of valley heat not only today but over the weekend. going to get hot

that's the case tonight, in a story that reminds folks of another time, when jfk was in the white house and the world stood still during a stand-off over weapons in cuba. while times have changed and the stakes are different this time, it was nonetheless an intercept of what appear to be illegal weapons components on board a vessel where they were hiding their cargo, hoping to get through the panama canal, and then halfway around the world, undetected. it's where we begin tonight with nbc's mark potter in miami. >> reporter: while it lacked the drama of some of the high seas encounters of the red scare years. it does appear two old enemies of the u.s. were caught red handed. panamanian officials say they first detained the ship known as the chong chon gang because they suspected it carried illegal drugs. they found something entirely different. panama's president called it "undeclared war like cargo, originating in cuba." he even tweeted a photo. the president said when the ship was boarded, the crew of 35 resisted and the north korean captain had what appeared to be a heart attack, the

for jfk, with the most basic issues of his time, civil rights bill he sent to congress 50 years ago in june of 1963, and got the country through the cuban missile crisis. looking at big picture, if you had to think of two moments you would want a president to behave well those are the two. i think he passed those two with flying colors, although obviously not ever uniformly in success. >> the moment for me for kennedy is the berlin speech. having wrestled with the soviets and being intimidated by them and ker chev thinking he was a young whipper snapper and could push around, they go back to the bay of pigs and the cuban missile crisis he learns how to make it work and then gets to berlin and gives a speech and realizes he can master the public game. he can best them at that. he can take in dave language a whole nation by the hand. and after that berlin after 20 years, 10 years, was never an issue again. >> the moon shot. rice university. he came down and said we're going to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade and we did it. made alan shepard and john glenn folk heros in
