kennedy. i try to make it a very brisk narrative that makes you feel you're going through these very tumultuous and triumphant in manys ways tragic days of the kennedy presidency and that you are there with them day in and day out as he wrestles with one issue or another. it's episodic in a way that i didn't see the other kennedy treatments. it overshadows kennedy in some respects. so that was important to me and there are so many books with an agenda. my only agenda was to capture this indelible presidenthe and what he meant to the country end of the momentous decisions that came across it. >> the country is so fascinated by him and the family and the smithh of camelot. it grips america to this day. why do you think that is? i'm still trying to figure it out. >> it boils down to this. john w f. kennedy was and continues to be how we want to see ourselves in the world. useful, ambitious, elegant, intelligent, compassionate and instilling the notion oror in by inc. the notion of the service. th

kennedy. he and i worked on a joint project together, the time and the presidency, and he talked about john f. kennedy and who he was and what he meant to this country, but while there have been many books that have been written, well, there's an expression, write the book you want to read and this is the book that i wanted to read about john f. kennedy. i tried to make it a very brisk narrative, but makes you feel as though you're going through these very tumultuous, very triumphant in many ways, very tragic in others, days of the kennedy presidency. and that you're there with them day in and day out as he wrestles with one issue or another. so, it's episodic in a way that i didn't see the other kennedy treatments. and i also wanted to wrestle with the camelot myth which overshadows kennedy in so many respects. it deprives him in so many ways of his humanity. and that's important. there are so many books with an agenda. my only agenda was to capture this indelible president and what he meant

kennedy. and duringg crucial hours of his presidency. and i heard from hugh who john f. kennedy was be on the camelot myth. that can be intrigued about john f. kennedy. hugh and i worked on a joint oddity of the cult the time in the presidency and he started the project talking about john f. kennedy and who he was and what he met to this country. while there been many books at a been written, there's an overexpression, write the book you want to read. this is a book i wanted to read about john f. kennedy. i tried to make it a very briskg narrative that make you feel that you're going to the third tumultuous, very triumphant in many ways, , very tragic in others, days of the kennedy presidency. and that you y are here within y in and day out, , as he wrestles with one issue or another. and so it's episodic in a way that they didn't see the other kennedy treatments. and i also wanted to wrestle with the camelot myth which overshadows kennedy in so many respects. it deprives him in so many ways o

kennedy was sworn into the office up at the capitol and by his side was jacqueline kennedy who would become our first lady and she herself would go down in history as being one of our most influential of first ladies. we have a particular reverence for here here at the white house historical association. but it was later that day on inauguration day that president and mrs. kennedy ended up at the white house and mrs. kennedy realized this was a home the people's house as she would call it. it was in badly badly in need of historic restoration. she believed that the white house should represent the very best of america artisans craftsmen. decorative arts fine arts furnishings. and so she took that on as her project over the course of the next three years. cut short tragically by the assassination of president kennedy, but what she put in place then is still the legacy of her influence of historic preservation at the white house acquisitions for the collection and actually education. it's a key part of our mission and we are mrs. kennedy's living legacy at the white house today. well,

kennedy: great job. everyone is doing it first trump, then biden now we learning former vice president mike pence, also had classified documents in his house. kinky. question now are all our leaders careless dummies? or should fewer things be c classified. there were about a dozen in a box. on a goxer with soxer. >> this comes right in the middle of a massive brouhaha over president biden's handling of same filings, please. so far multiple batches of documents have been found in biden's private home. his beach house, his garage. and one of his f private offices, we know what happened to former president trump last year, the feds raided mar-a-lago after trump reportedly failed to return some requested documents, former president denied any wrong doing and mocked biden for his mess. if these prove anything, this is perhaps a systemic problem. lawmakers have jeopardized national security, either because they are stupid, careless o or corrupt or compromised, maybe all of the above, you know things are gettin

you kennedy. kennedy: now to second big case. new damning details in the murders of 4 university of the idaho students today, prosecutor unsealed search warrant of bryan kohberger's apartment in pullman, washington, we learn police found a pillow covered in blood -- they didn't say blood but a ridish brown substance, come on. with a disposable police officer and possible strands of hair, not listed any sort of weapon, but in a separate report kohberger reportedly send multiple direct messages to one of the victims in weeks leading up to murders, we're told that victim never responded. she was not following him on instagram, former defense attorney believes that evidence could be attacked. but experts say it is looking more like the quadruple murder was premeditated. this is case as strong as it looks our party pab -- panel, karol markowicz, and doug schoan and brad polumbo. so, it is interesting there is a gag order in this case, karol. a lot of people didn't assume we would get as much informatio

kennedy: oh. and lesley, my problem is, not what they did once the public found out about documents but, who had them, and how did they get in the garage, who put them there? why does no one care about that? >> special counsel cares about, that now that we have one let them to their job, we don't have verification of the images, we don't know what you said, how did they get there, when did they get there and by the way, i'm sorry, i don't care a grassy knoll around this is a conservative outlet says they found images on hunter biden a lap top, you can't make that stuff up, jimmy, you use it for your comedy routine. kennedy: lesley -- >> lesley, you said it was a conservative outlet, when laptop was uncovered, and everyone was like. they uncover a laptop, and everyone who said that is now conceded it was true. if laptop is real e-mails are real and to be fair, i don't know definitely they were compromised but a guy accused of selling access to government you have multiple changing story lines from

kennedy: great show. scandal taken washington by storm, seemingly dirty secret that everyone in d.c. has classified documents stuffed in their junk drawer. why is so much of this stuff classified? the first place? as we know, president biden former president trump and former vice president pence now each neck deep in document drama, sleepy joe had files all over the and allegedly tried to squirrel away boxes at mar-a-lago, and pence with secret papers at his crypt in indiana. this blunts the ability for them to attack the other, today at white house reporters tried to get afternoon answers. >> did the white house believe other former high office holders should go back and check their personal residents? >> that is not something that i can comment from here, we don't know -- i don't know the you know, the reasoning of what the news we heard about pence. i'm not comin comments from here or any other former elected official or current official with this case, i refer you to department of justice. anything th

kennedy: you did. now are doe something ka quite bold, you have supported speaker mccarthy through all ought rounds. this -- throughout all of the round sths a big issue for freedom minding this is limits size of government that starts with how much money the government is taking. not from wealthy people. but low and middle up come earners. something like this, a bill to abolish the irs passes in house is that one of those look busy bills? because senate will not take it up. >> it tack be the case i want to feature the fact that the first bill we passed in 118 congress was defunding 87 thousand irs agents, why that is so important this was billed wrong, pa to make sure billionaires pay their fair share of taxes. elon musk does not have an etsy store and jeff bezo does not self stuff on facebook marketplace, we do. to track every american citizen, the type of massive surveillance the government would have to to do is unacceptable. kennedy: that would force people instead of using things to like venmo or

but but both john kennedy and robert kennedy commented upon it and. so did ted kennedy. that they were inoculated with this this this feeling about. the little guy, because of the irish-american discrimination, the known irish need applies stories that they got from their parents and also from honey fitz. their grandfather and left them at very politicians politicians from the from the upper class who felt for the little guy, charles daley, who some of the old hands around here may remember worked for all three of them. and and he called them well-fed underdogs with pretty good bite. and that's pretty much the best description as to why the kennedy brothers became that in one sentence that i found. yeah. why you. we're going to jump around here. you'll excuse me for not being criminal. why did run? did he want to run for the senate? was he sort of pushed it? i mean, the story always goes that joe made jack run for the. and that's not true. i mean, he encouraged him. he wanted. but it was jack who made the decision. what about ted? did did he want a career in politics? wh

kennedy: time, all we need is time. we is read the bill once we pass it just we need time, olivia, do you buy that? >> not at all. i don't think that anyone who is paying attention buys it, we saw biden attempt to run as centrist in 2020 this did fool a lot of people, a good portion of american voters are not paying attention but i think last two years saw a lot of moderates, centrists wake up to, that i don't think that anyone in that camp who has been paying attention thinks this joe biden is a moderate jawft just because he was pictured with mitch mcconnell, i don't think they like mitch mcconnell that much either. >> you are right. >> we can agree on that. kennedy: the whole kevin mccarthy fiasco provided a road map for other leaders and other parties, i hope they take them up on that. panel don't go anyway, a super hot monday night, you will need oven mitts for the remote. >> kevin mccarthy may be finally holding the greasy speaker's gavel, is he really the winner, we break it down, the winners, losers with greates

and robert kennedy. .. we are concerned with getting the things we want, the things we have to have to be able to function. >> by 1967 the freedom movement was changing force. >> across the nation black men and women circle for control of their lives. through the ballot box, on the street, in the schools.tw the call for power challenge seven relationship between blacks and whites in america. >> okay, so that's just a little review of where we were last week with the documentary from eyes on the prize, looking at black power, stokely carmichael provides a really great introduction. and what purpose the black vote is coming out folds into this part, fold in the civil rights movement at this stage. so the years after the passage of thes civil rights act, voting rights act as demonstrated in what we've covered so far was a time of racial reckoning comparable to the years after the civil war. civil rights legislation as you know this man legally mandated segregation, our laws in disfranchisement in the south and

it was a turning point for both king and kennedy. as you may recall it lasted for six days, covered 45 miles of los angeles and beyond. several estimate was 30,000 people participated. thirty-four people were killed. twenty-five of whom are african-american and more than 1000 injured and 4000 arrested. king, who at this point was planning a campaign to challenge segregation in the north. in a plight with a learned in the south to conditions there. he flew immediately to los angeles and he walked the streets of the watts community for he met with community meetings and heard the grievances of people in the abuses they suffered from priests is lap well as lack of city services and a litany of things. and he is overwhelmed by what he saw and what he heard. in a meeting with city officials the police chief, william parker, lectured king violence was to be expected quote we keep telling people they are unfairly treated and teach them disrespect the law. a shaken king was reported after that meeting to treat the situation as though it was

kennedy. that's a perfect transition in elaine into a question for you you of course are the co-author of the book designing camelot which talks about the efforts of jacqueline kennedy and the restoration of the white house. can you tell us? how for our audience so everybody understands some people may know the story but others may not tell us what were some of the institutions that mrs. kennedy put in place that are that are still operational today. and also tell us why was she so interested in restoration in the white house? it wasn't necessarily just to like pretty things or make things look nice. there was a larger purpose that really supported the kennedy administration if you can tell us a little bit about that, i think that would be very illuminating for our audience. thank you colleen. i'm so happy to be here and i'm so happy to get to follow melissa because so much of what i do in starting to talk about mrs. kennedy. it's as if she walked into the white house and out spraying historic

kennedy, what you think about this? >> kennedy: what you have to do is watch the world cup and see how excited people are to cheer for their team. how excited they are to sing their songs and they are national anthem. finally, people were kind of doing that with team usa. and i went to one sports bar and watch one of the team usa games and it was electric. people were cheering. i was like finally, this is what i have been waiting for. gen z-ers may romanticize other parts of the world but in other parts of the world they love their country. they love the national anthem, they love their sports teams and there is nothing wrong with. >> carley: in other parts of the world, harris, they are dying to come to the united states i think some of the most patriotic people in the country are migrants because they a perspective. they know what other countries can be like and they come here the american dream. they're hoping to fulfill it. >> harris: we have had generations of people with hatred on this country so i wouldn't we are

kennedy is opposed to the war. and of course we are here today looking at all things that carry through this period. >> he is trying to open their eyes and give them an understanding of what the challenges are for the future direction. itre was shifting and chaos is a word. the antiwar movement is growing exponentially and the majority still support the war but there's a reactive movement and racial disturbances that summer with more than 150 cities. the nation really seemed to be coming apart. it really pulled this into the war and so king called to negotiations but he was hesitant to speaking out against the war distract us from the issue that you are concerned about but it is stuck with us. shot and killed when he tried to use so with that, opposing to say they support and as a result he was elected to the state legislature at georgia. so this is a reaction. king has a protest but he still by 67 he is ready. the war is escalating but he sees a magazine early in 67 and it describes the million deaths and casualti

kennedy, what do you think he would have done? 58,000 men left? would he have left that way or would we have won that war and stayed? guest: that is a really, really great question. based on the evidence that we have, including the presidential recordings we have sort of concluded that if kennedy had lived nothing would have changed. kennedy had talked about pulling about 1000 american forces out, but only if the situation in south vietnam improved and it never did. beyond that there were other references by kennedy and his administration to pulling out troops, but it was just to rotate them. of course, we idealize kennedy, but the idea that if he had lived things would have been different, none of this is supported by the ample amount of evidence we have from kennedy himself and his circle of advisors. beyond that, let's remember that johnson assumes the presidency among kennedy's death but retains the same team of advisors. historians do not believe that those same advisors would have given kennedy different advice. so, yeah. all this to say tha

no photos and tomorrow mornings paper of ted kennedy holding carter's hand aloft. this is slightly awkward. >> kennedy could not be victorious and he ripped the party apart and what they needed to take the election was for unity. >> this country needs a new administration. with a renewed dedication to a dream of a america. a administration that will give the dream new life and make america great again. >> ronald reagan will call carter out for this idea that we live in an age of limits and say no, america's future is just as expensive as it ever was. >> tuesday you will all go to the polls, i think when you make that decision you should ask yourselves, are you better off than you were 42 years ago? >>> this is continuing election night coverage. >> it is beginning to look like a landslide for ronald reagan tonight. they are not breaking up the champagne at the headquarters now, it is only because they cannot find a opener. >> jimmy carter did not act like a man. he said he did not feel like people voted against him personally. mister carter showed anguish only once

>> kennedy: no. i think bret is absolutely right. but i think there is more going on here than just going along with the status quo which is what kevin mccarthy represents to a lot of these congress members. he is someone who said he earned the speakership, they don't feel the same way. how do you bridge the chasm within the republican party? nancy pelosi, you know, love her or hate her she was actually able to wrangle her caucus. will kevin mccarthy be able to do the same thing? with the same kind of schism? >> bret: former president trump is hardly an established with figure and when he comes out and endorses mccarthy and says we need to move this forward and is getting nominated once again putting his name back and that is what's happening with congressman gallagher on the floor. so former president trump putting out that statement essentially saying you need to get this done. if you don't like him, afterwards you now have negotiated away -- >> harris: bret i will jump in one second, excuse me. obviously with the congressman elect

kennedy. very quickly. good evening, welcome to washington. i'm bret baier. president biden's attorney general has appointed a special counsel to investigate the discovery of classified documents at the president's home and business office. earlier in the day the president admitted the records had been found at his residence in wilmington, delaware, one set of documents found had his garage. next to his corvette. he insists he is cooperating fully and completely with the justice department investigation. newly elected house speaker kevin mccarthy says congress

also joining us today, kennedy, dr. janette nesheiwat, and bill hemmer. watch out! at least 14 members of kevin mccarthy's own political party say they have doubts of whether they are going to support him for speaker. five of those are firm nos at this point. with the g.o.p. holding the slimmest of majorities already in the house, kevin mccarthy can only afford to lose four votes. so he's already upside down right now. if he can't marshal support, the house will have to vote again. a new candidate could emerge, he or she would not even have to be a member of congress, so maybe a surprise candidate. we don't know. we will cover it as it happens. until the house elect a speaker, as i said, it will remain gridlocked. it can't even swear in members or conduct any legislative business. kevin mccarthy still refuses to give up on his bid for speaker. >> are you going to stay in the race, leader mccarthy? >> yes. i'm not going anywhere. we did have an intense conference. there's times will have to argue with our own members if they are looking only for positions for themsel

>> kennedy: that is a really good point. kevin, he was driving a white hyundai a long trip. >> kevin: that is one of the few things we knew about the cases they were looking for that vehicle as part of the process. >> hey, son you are starting criminology. what do you know? b5 there is only so much karaoke you can do like that. what were they talking about? and use all that lukewarm statement by the family, presumption of innocence, not like we know he didn't do this. >> they are doing the best they can because obviously, they are. tell me about the physical evidence they could have gathered in addition to the genealogical dna that emily touched on. >> dr. nesheiwat: what is the evidence that they have? why? what is the underlying mental illness? the scratches on his arm other than the dna come over there scratches on his arm? maybe the victims had dna on him or the victim while fighting for their lives were, you know, picking up the skin cells, for example. not having diagnosed him or talk to potential murder of come i thin

but bobby kennedy was his closest friend in public life. so he left and he went to bobby kennedy's and was with bobby when he died. he was close to jackie kennedy, was working with her on a series of projects when he was in the white house. so he knows all those characters in the sixties, and he's an important figure but not the central figure. so he is thinking about all these other people. you hear what he thinks about jackie and bobby and and lbj and and has relationships with them all. so it really is allows you to time travel by going through these papers to this roller coaster of a decade which had extraordinary triumphs and extraordinary sadnesses. and i think in a certain sense, it's a metaphor for how we have to look at history, because we look at it and remember the sadness of the way it ended, the assassinations martin luther king and of bobby, the anti-war violence that was in the streets, the riots that were in the streets. and it seems like a decade of sadness, but it was a decade of great, accomplished men civil rights, votin

. >> kennedy: the conspiracy grows when we are in a note-taking environment and we don't have answers and you have some statements from law enforcement that contradict each other, and that may have been accidental, one of the offers and officers may have misspoken income of one of the responding officers talking about the scene that they encountered, so that's why you take all of those questions away by releasing this stuff, otherwise, you know, if you or i were assaulted or god forbid we assaulted somebody, that information would be made public. you never want to see especially in a state like california that is a democrat enclave that people in power and privilege to happen to be members of the party in power that today are protected and shielded, and given afforded different rights than any other normal person who might've been convicted of the same crime. spin on the most recent that i can think of applicable example involves paul pelosi when he was pulled over and had been drinking, and for days there were things about that case that the public was not told and was not allowed to
