hoover was not telling the truth. immediately after the assassination, hoover ordered an investigation to identify any deficiencies in the handling of the oswald case. on december 10 he received a report from assistant director james gayle which stated that there were a number of failures in the oswald security case. the report concluded, quote: oswald should have been on the security index, his wife should have been interviewed before the assassination, and the investigation intensified, not held in advance after oswald contacted soviet embassy in mexico, end quote. gayle recommended that 17 fbi employees be censured or placed on probation for, quote, shortcomings in connection with the investigation of oswald prior to the assassination, end quote. and that action should be taken promptly despite the possibility that the warren commission might learn about it during the commission's existence. other fbi officials took the contrary position. assistant director suggested that the disciplinary action be deferred until t

he kept having to go to hoover, who knew everything, and who kennedy despised as much as hoover desspiesed him and almost begged him to help him damp down the story. which hoover did, having gotten job security for a lifetime. in my book the people who want this exposed are political enemies of kennedy who are furious about his cold war revisionism. people in the intelligence community. and then the question is, what would have happened in her my advisor -- some of my friends were saying look what happened to clinton? and the advicer said that was 1995. 1965, no. he didn't put is this way but i did. can you imagine jack and jackie sitting down with walter cronkite and jack saying, i've caused pain in my marriage? i mean, that's what clinton said, and -- we get what you're saying. 1965, on television, married couples slept in twin bedes. so the question is, what would have happened if he was threatened with scandal in here's the darker side of the kennedy legacy. they would have used whatever means at their disposal to keep it quiet. the evidence for this is in 1962, the steel companies all

hoover had dirt on pretty much everyone from members of congress to members of the media everyone and some have argued that he had blackmail power over a centrally everyone because of this given what we know about the n.s.a. spying on everyone not just for national security reasons but also for do. well medical reasons economic reasons has the n.s.a. become the new f.b.i. the n.s.a. makes the f.b.i. look like amateurs just like the n.s.a. makes the stasi east german secret police look like amateurs the stasi is motto was to know everything about everybody they couldn't do it they were bumblers but look at the n.s.a. they really now have the capability to know anything everything about everybody and they're doing that the fact that they've got all this information and it's stored and they can tap it whatever they want means that any kind of political freedom in this country is very very tenuous this is not the way democracy operates it gives our executive and and police branch our security branch enormous power because we don't know what they have and fear is a result of this conversat

i'm fascinated because the secret service agent at the time, the doctor said the secret service said hoover wanted to know, was the president still alive? and one of the agents said, but i also have to let joe kennedy know that he has lost a son. what did this presidency mean to joe kennedy? >> joe kennedy, this was the pinnacle. the fact that his son who was an irish catholic could be elected president meant an enormous amount to joseph kennedy. not only was he the father of a president, but he had witnessed, he thought, a turning point in american history, a turning point that would live forever when the first irish catholic, when the first non-protestant was elected to the presidency. >> waiting in the wings, rfk, waiting in the wings, teddy, and generations who were told to serve. could this possibly have been america's dynasty with regard to presidencies? >> i think so. if jack kennedy had run against goldwater in 1964, he would have won in a landslide -- >> but he almost didn't beat nixon. how close was that election? >> that was the closest ever had. 49.8% of the volt to 49.7% of the

edgar hoover. hoover is saying to robert kennedy, your brother has been shot and perhaps killed. just a few minutes later, the man robert kennedy hates, lyndon johnson is asking him for the wording of the oath of office and whether he should be sworn in in dallas or not. the people who heard that call thought he could have asked more than 100 government physicians. he calls robert kennedy and has a secretary on the line to take down the wording of the oath. robert kennedy patches his deputy into the call to actually give the wording of the oath. i asked what were their voices like. she said his voice was like steel. robert kennedy's wasn't. i kept thinking he shouldn't be doing this. but you say why did lyndon johnson make that call. he could have called any one of 100 government officials. the wording of the oath is in the constitution. he would have called me. but johnson didn't. he called robert kennedy. another episode in really one of the greatest blood feuds of american history. >> i was fascinated by what you wrote in the passage of power about that phone call, the exchang

you kind of highlighted some of the different services that one company that's really up and coming hoover has and you know i know you've tried it i've definitely tried that service before is it so convenient so is it time for taxi drivers to catch up with the times to follow technology will the commission is going to say absolutely he's saying a lot of people come to d.c. they're used to being in other cities where everybody takes credit card and that's just the way that it is and that you you're competing with that with huge companies like burger and that's just the way that that's changing time and they've got to get with it. the taxicab commission is actually came under fire because the spokes person used kind of controversial words when he was describing this problem here in d.c. he said that our taxi cab system is comparable to third world countries and that didn't fly very well with cab drivers here in d.c. they're asking for an apology in addition to that legal action that they're taking they want to apology from the taxicab commission for using those words saying that there's kind

at the truth is, the truth is that after hoover america needed roosevelt. after eisenhower, we needed kennedy. after reagan, we needed clinton. and after eight miserable years of george w. bush, we needed barack obama. [applause] -- no president since fdr, no president since fdr inherited it worse economy, bigger job losses, as many wars or as large a deficit as president obama did. but thanks to his leadership and thanks to each of you, america is now moving forward again. let's look at the alternatives we see on the other side of the aisle. the current crop of tea party republicans founded by wealthy economic royalists who all have a very small view of america. we have seen this story before. hoover called supply-side economics. reagan called a trickle-down economics. george w. bush halted focusing on my base. [laughter] we call it selling america short. [applause] i don't know about you, but i have had enough of tea party republicans like ted cruz, haven't you?

as she points out, really the big break between coolidge and hoover arguably as opposed to hoover and fdr. an activist and interventionist in the economy before fdr was. if you look it reagan, deregulation and tax cuts were bubbling up in congress and implemented by carter before reagan took office. and now you see a conservative republican bailing of the auto industry and passing a $700 billion bailout and the financial industry before the liberal democrats actually get into office. [laughter] >> this john and over here. >> the when in afghanistan. would you care to guess? would they intend to win a prevail? >> there is this great line. i don't know if we put it in this book. reagan supposedly said to bill clark on the eve of his first election coming here is my idea for the cold war. they lose, we win. then certainly that was reagan's rhetorical and actual stance. if you get in a conflict, see it through, prevail. you have to an obviously he should estimate the situation, see what a reasonable goal would be. i think this was where the source of their disagreement about the panama ca

thomas sowell of the hoover institution at stanford university. dr. sold the most recent book "intellectuals and race", how do you define an intellectual? >> guest: someone who's and product his ideas and ideas whose validation is through peer consensus rather than by any particular established institution. in other words they chemists might be intellectual because their objective rules for which you can judge his work or a mathematician are an engineer but if you are a deconstruction is the only test is for the other deconstructionist to like what you are doing. >> host: doesn't matter what popular opinion says about your work? >> guest: no. >> host: why not? >> guest: their whole career and self-esteem and all that comes from their peers so it doesn't matter. some take great pride in being out of step. >> host: are you an intellectual? >> guest: i suppose you would have to say that. since my work and then ideas and people like them or don't like

hoover goes back to 1919, the wilsonld row era. we have always had a fear of communism disproportionate to what the real threat to us was. revolution, the property classes always feared labor. >> what has replaced that now? this term national security that justifies the mass surveillance of americans and people all over the world. this is under president obama. >> absolutely. historically, terrorists -- harry truman in 1947, the truman doctrine, he declared boldly on the floor of congress that we had to invest $409 in greece and turkey to defeat outside forces including terrorist and communist for destabilizing greece. these are people who fought for the independence of greece against the nazis. they became terrorists right away. the word terrorist has been described loosely for any enemy. always terrorists in the woodwork. yes, they are vile. we should track them down. glenn greenwald has been very articulate about this. if you know someone or has connection to terrorism, i think most people would back that. but when you put the w

since the 1930s, j edgar hoover was listening into all of the civil rights leaders. he thought communism was behind it. the anti-vietnam war protest would've had informers all over it. the government has sealed this vacuum. so anything that is a protest movement will be subject to severe, severe penetration by the government. that is what you should fear. the civil rights may not have happened the way it happened. in other words, everything is positive for change that comes up in social life, we need change in our life, when those things happen, they will be able to happen because the government will be there to stamp down on it. tavis: who knows what kennedy would have done on vietnam? we can debate that for hours. what we do know is that john kerry, obama's secretary of state, fought in that war and, on "meet the press was quote, gregory tried to hit him to speak on a statement that he suggested that he doesn't believe that oswald acted alone. this thing is still being debated all these years later. is reasonable and looks at the evidence nose at the has to be at l
