September 2, 1963 - President John F. Kennedy's interview with Walter Cronkite 

How true !

No cards to read either...

Or people whispering into an earpiece

Barrack Obama is of that caliber weather or not you like him he is brilliant

@@bahamutstear1369 nope. Just a CIA puppet and possiblity the antichrist that wanted total government control Him and JFK should never ever be mentioned in the same light. JFK was for liberty and making the government work for the people. Obama was the opposite and used social programs to enslave them and keep them stuck. Just like LBJ...

@@bahamutstear1369 Obama is known as the teleprompter President. What you don't realize is, the Media had scripted to him prior questions and his administration controlled the media. Everything was controlled. Kennedy was candid and could think on his feet. Obama has been groomed his whole life. He only spoke on the agenda people above him in other nations wanted him to push to destroy our nation. Please dig deep and do more research. No time left to waste. Military address; Obama called his wife 'Michael' twice. So I kept hearing him say this in interviews. So I decided to research it. You should too. Study photos of his whole life. Is O of good or evil? He had to choose a side. Truly dig deep.

That’s How People were brought up then. Before Liberals, Media, Entertainment, Music Industry made it unfashionable to be respectful, educated, and tolerant of all. Not just Special Interests, whats in Vogue, or who Lobbyists help formulate, fabricate a popular opinion for.

JFK was a real WW2 war hero. He was my first boyhood hero. I would have placed him in the category of a Statesman and not a “professional politician.”

@Christopher Nelson I do as well. Watergate happened as a result of relentless anti-American attacks by the news media.

@Ricky Sanchez JFK was optimistic,straightforward,and sincere.nixon's crook,dirty trickster.He 's rattlesnake . He loathed the two bros,JFK and Bobby. Robert Kennedy shot dead by who,u think, sirhan sirhan? Definitely not. He merely was a decoy or redherring. The real killer was a bastard,eugene cesar. Cesar was whose, you guess.

@Ricky Sanchez Yep. Kennedy even donated to Nixon's campaign for congress.

At least not this version of him. In a parallel universe, he saw out his 2 terms and passed away in the 2000s

@@westyraviz I don’t think he would’ve lived till the 2000’s he was also a gravely ill person

He did in Spirit

The STOOGE was the man with the fake colored hair!

Joe Biden actually has three times the experience of government compared with JFK. Do some homework instead of letting Sean tell you what to think!

You mean President Fake-Bake?

Tesla... Einstein was a fraud

@T A - President Biden is doing a great job in the aftermath of trump’s fiasco. He knows what he’s doing but people want instant gratification. The thing is everyone has a different idea of what that is.

@Pain FreePresident Trump, a close second for me. Almost a tie.

Trump was and is far superior.

My favorite president too the jersey 9422 Kennedy got cheated

It was unfortunate he would only live 81 days after that interview with Walter Cronkite

Listen to all campaign speeches for all the elections in this country (available on YT), the messages are pretty much the same on every election.

@@closetcleaner Maybe we need to follow the Ukrainians and elect a comedian? At least we'd be entertained with good delivery.

@@wtmerit6129 FYI Zelenskyy graduated from the Kyiv National Economic University in 2000 with a law degree.

@@closetcleaner Bc they copy their old foes or predecessors. Obiden is an arrogant moron, and JFK would literally go Republican from the state of what obriden has done.

He was willing and able to change the world.

same birthday as me

@@favsa5015 congratulations with your 104th birthday sir, madam.

Not dead - second coming of our Lord and Savior

He's still living! He survived! Thanks to God and Tesla technology! ThankQ JFK for taking down the Cabal and leading this world out of slavery!

@@nonnie8316 🌟💫🙏💓⚡💜😎

He had come into his own. His death changed everything

Trump's pretty honest about questions He let's his true feelings come forward in interviews.

He wasn't totally honest, The Kennedy's had an agenda to be in political power for decades, while he stood for many righteous things, he did use his power to work in future elections for himself and his brothers....this in my opinion is what caused his and his brother's demise...and Ted then just became another floozy chaser and murderer.

And thats why he was killed. May the conspirators get their just desserts on the other side, to be handed out by the ultimate judge himself...God, The Almighty. Amen.

Woke culture

​@@YungChiefWoke culture began with a Democratic overreaction to Republican totalitarianism after 9/11. We're swinging the pendulum back around, as a society, but be wary of too strict a control over the public's doings this time. Our lives aren't the government's to dictate. And rhetoric isn't without consequences, either. We need reasoned debate, not name calling.

The Democrat (Marxist) Party took every aspect of our culture. Plus massive 3rd world immigration happened to us.

Pull up a video of his “man on the moon” commitment speech and focus on LBJ in background… we went from a historic, eloquent philosopher-statesman to a disinterested moron. Pretty much into the future: the morons won.

Overboard wicked liberalism.

2 months later he would tell the world our president was killed... First thing I ever remembered in my life.

@@tommysimmons3258 I was not born for Cronkite's time on the CBS Evening News. He is just incredible to watch. Honorable mention of John Chancellor on NBC. I wish we had new anchors like that today.

@@tony84. Walter Cronkite was a luciferian and not to be trusted

@@edsmall2167 That's not what America thought about him. He is looked at as the gold standard of Anchormen in history.

@@tony84. yes you're absolutely right, the gold standard of Anchormen. The gold standard of luciferianism. Their father is the greatest liar, Deceiver, and murderer. He comes to destroy and devour. Get your Bible out Tony 84. It's easy to read. But you need to beg God to truly understand his word. Know the truth and it will set you free.

It was really a genuine, magnetic smile. I can see why the ladies adored him......

The modern Democratic Party is no Jack Kennedy party, don’t let anybody tel you otherwise

No, JFK’s tax cut was for the working class and the low income, not for the rich. Democratic tax cuts are nothing like Republican tax cuts.

@@thatguywhosayshi7021 and Bill Clinton is probably the individual most responsible for that ... although ironically, the US was extremely prosperous under his administration.

Vietnam started with his decision to go in. That's history!

dont think joe biden could speak the same way.

@@berto8591 Biden is intelligent and speaks very well.

@@berto8591 PLEASE!

@@berto8591 you can bet that Kennedy never would have tweeted 'COVFEFE'. He would never have instigated or supported sedition, or encouraged citizens to overthrow the government, or stop or interfere with the peaceful transfer of power; pardoned or promised to pardon seditionists. we certainly didn't see members of the Kennedy clan making deals and using his presidency to personally profit - like Jared's multiBillion dollar deal with the Saudis.

ReTrumplicans don't. That's a fact. Their god-king has never even read it.

@@Section5_CdnIntelService Your statement is sad, but true…

Not even close. He was indeed bright , high IQ despite poor grades in college and before. However, his IQ was certainly far , far less than that of geniuses like Thomas Jefferson and almost certainly below that of : Abe Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, George Washington, James Madison , and a few others. To be sure jfk was very bright ...I'd put him in a class, intellect wise, in the Jimmy Carter, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover , and or John Adams range. Of the 45 presidents, he would likely be in the top 15 all time, which = Top 1/3 of all presidents. Impressive.

KM… and America wept along with Walter Cronkite.🇺🇸

Cronkite was all Crocodile tears when he read the memo... Probably laughed like Bush smirk about a crazed gunman shooting JFK

So very well put.thank you for saying what many must feel

Fox and Billy Graham, nuff said.

Good letter. Kennedy was so intelligent, charismatic and eloquent. Even our enemies admired and liked him. It was said that Kruschev wept when he was informed of the Presidents assassination.

He was a man of the people. He was, and always will be OUR president.

To expand on your statement, we should look at everyone we have had in the Oval Office SINCE Kennedy’s assassination…

The reporter's story after Tet had dramatic repercussions. And his conclusions were based on a grave misinterpretation. Douglas Brinkley’s new biography of Walter Cronkite has sparked an intriguing controversy about the CBS anchorman’s famous trip to Vietnam in February 1968. That’s when, as legend has it, Cronkite was so shocked at the devastation of the communists’ Tet offensive that he went over to see for himself what was really going on. And he concluded the war was a stalemate, probably unwinnable. Brinkley buys the argument, put forth by the late David Halberstam in his characteristically portentous manner, that Cronkite’s February 27 broadcast, "Report from Vietnam," played a major role in turning Americans against the war and inducing President Lyndon Johnson to abandon his reelection campaign. Cronkite’s report, writes Brinkley, was "immediately seen as a catalyst by pundits in the Monday newspapers. . . . Cronkite turned dove, and the hawk Johnson lost his talons." This tracks with what Halberstam wrote in his 1979 book, The Powers That Be: "It was the first time in American history that a war has been declared over by an anchorman." Lyndon Johnson was said to have watched the broadcast and exclaimed to his press secretary, George Christian, "If I have lost Walter Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America." Harvard’s Louis Menand, writing in The New Yorker, has an interesting take on this. "The trouble with this inspiring little story," he says, "is that most of it is either invented or disputed." He cites W. Joseph Campbell’s 2010 book, Getting It Wrong: Ten of the Greatest Misrepresented Stories in American Journalism, as noting that Johnson did not see the Cronkite report when it was broadcast. Menand recalls a 1979 quote from Christian saying he really didn’t recall what Johnson said in response to whatever or if he said anything at all like what was then being quoted. And Menand questions whether Cronkite’s broadcast had anything approaching the impact now attributed to it. This is all great fun and the kind of thing the intelligentsia loves to kick around. But it misses a fundamental point that goes to the heart of America’s Vietnam tragedy. If Cronkite did in fact have a major impact on the American consciousness back in the winter of 1968 (and he very well may have), that impact was based on a fanciful interpretation of events.

I totally agree with you!

@ Penni Candy. How much different and better would the 1960's have been had JFK been able to serve out his two terms. Such a loss.

@@Kayte-tv2cw Hard to say really. Probably no Vietnam War, no MLK day, and maybe RFK elected president instead of Jimmy Carter.

Mind you, June 11th as he gave that speech Medger Evers was assassinated that very night, crazy🤦🏾‍♂️

When you refer to "what we recently had as a President, I assume you're referring to Trump.

@@karenmainor4275 of course-that is self-evident

covfefe

Civil rights had nothing to do with it. JFK like other Demirats had rigged the election in Chicago or jfks dad had it rigged by the america mob. In return he was suppose to stop going after them. Apparently jfk and rfk didn’t know just that they won the election because of the dad having it rigged. The mob got mad when they started coming after them. And they killed him. All the proof was released by trump in 2017 the media didn’t cover it but the facts and the truth came out. Now keep in mind Jim Crow was created by democrats literally to cause division they had it well planned out. Democrats created planned parent hood to abort black babies in 1973 after civil rights for and no joke I’m not joking. “POPULATION CONTROL of black babies” they literally came out and admitted straight up they created it so there welfare program wouldn’t have to pay for them. As a result if you look at the real numbers about 30-35mllion black babies have been killed. They will say 20million but I found a bunch they tried to keep out of the list. Keep in mind we have 41million black Americans today. We would no doubt have 80-100 million black Americans had they not killed them. The politicians admitted that its “murder” so they had to figure out a way to convince black women that it’s just birth control and they did.

I dont think anyone would murder a President to keep a few blacks out of school. Thats ridiculous.

Yes, but that's because the constitutionality of all citizens, has been broadened...which is of course a Federal act! The Federal government has the constitutional responsibility to make sure the states "carry out" those rights on the state-level, and can assert itself on edicts which support it.

You need to go back and listen to that section again ... he did stress that going through the courts the federal court and what - that he hoped that the state would comply with the federal order. That said --- when I reflect on his presidency, the issues of the day confronting him, particularly civil rights, I can't help but wonder if MLK's decisions and actions didn't play a huge role in Kennedy's lack of popularity plus in his assassination. JFK did not want to publicly get embroiled in the civil rights issue until his second term.

I agree with you…

@Pain Free It is highly insulting to me to constantly hear kooks like you mention President Kennedy and “that former guy” in the same sentence. I have lived through both administrations - - and believe me, Trump is no JFK…

Let's hope and pray d trump picks up where both Kennedys left off but better.god test them both.big time.

The turn came on Friday October 11, 1963 ,when JFK authorized National Security Action # 263 NASAM #263 called for the withdrawal of the first 1000 advisors to be home by Christmas 1963. This actually happened But that was the end of that! On Tuesday Nov 26 ,1963 even before the flowers had begun to wilt on JFK's grave, LBJ issued Nasam #273 which started the shift in our policy regarding Vietnam.

Ahhhh .... not so.

I completely understand

Boom

Liberals? You rightwingers are pure snowflakes. Poof, melted. Blame, blame, blame. Take responsibility! It's what old time conservatives used to preach before they got taken over by hatemongers.

One thing is certain. It was not "Liberals" that assassinated the liberal President John F. Kennedy.

and before conservatives, the alt right, used 'christianity' and waving bibles as campaign and policy tools; before the alt right made it an art form and part of their platform to spy on everyone's personal bedrooms; beforehand picked justices approved Citizens United granting corporations status of individuals; and before the rise of PACs and super PACs. Before the alt right waged war on individuals and blatantly favored corporations, particularly global corporations.

You forgot conservatives, and Maga supporters.

The parties never switched, only Strom Thurmond!

Bobby was headed in the same direction we re headed today he wasnt John

It was a mob hit to neutralize Bobby and leave him powerless to continue harrassing them. Dorothy Killgallen knew this but also paid with her life before she could spill the beans.

If you with "lunatic" mean Lee Oswald, I have to correct you. He didn't kill anyone that day. If you mean that the killer of JFK had to have been a "lunatic", I agree. Off course.

@@kermitkelly8833 Was it the mob that bungled the autopsy? That convinced the US Government to organize the biggest cover-up in human history? Yes, the mob played a minor part on the ground, but it didn't sit in the drivers seat, no.

didnt know that, kennedy seemed so youthful.

Yes I had to google it because, I can’t believe it. It’s true he was born nov 1916 and jfk was born in may 1917. Kennedy was definitely the portrait of youth and Kennedy didn’t live as long as Cronkite. Hence we remember him as a young man but Cronkite grew old before dying.

It's in the hair.

In every image of him, Cronkite looked 65. JFK will always look 35.

Great for who? Women? Blacks? Gays? Check the life expectancy in 1963 compared to now. The air and water were filthy. Cars were slow gas guzzling monsters pumping lead into the atmosphere unmolested. You had to pay to vote in some states. There was no Medicare. Oh, and by the way, the man who’s being interviewed was gunned down in the middle of Dallas a few months later. The good old days are now! Stop living in the past.

@@nicktaylor1015 Life expectancy has almost entirely been improved by vast advancements in the medical field. They would be even better if the were not for the Communist death cult that has all but taken over America! Oh, but we don't count those! After WW 2 was out of the way there were steady improvements that really got under way with Eisenhower, even before the 1960's! That's why we have what we have today! They were already underway! Largely already in the private sector. The problem is at the same time enemies of freedom were also working! They were largely ignored now it is almost to late to stop the Communism that has already taken over Washington DC! The black, minority and poor family structure has been worse than decimated. Back then the black family structure was more solid than white families are today! While some things have taken hold, other things with the aid of Communism have been all but destroyed! The same people that want to exterminate 90% of the human race, to "save" the human race! Then pervert and enslave what remains! Just you watch what I am saying this thing is about to come unglued! I lived through those times! You can listen to the propaganda all you want there was good and bad, like now. The bad that was then is largely eliminated by the efforts of the people THEN! But, the bad now is destroying the Freedom and Liberty that we still had then! Soon there will be no Constitutional Rights for anyone except the imaginary right to kill a baby or for a man to marry a man!

Great. RFK said so, shortly before he died.

Yes, caught that

Duly noticed, yes.
