I was nine when they had this debate and I remember it so well, not really understanding the language but I can remember thinking that it was brutal. I’m now going on 73 and what I’m watching now in 2024 is off the charts disgusting, unhinged and dangerous.
I can imagine why you thought that when you were a child. We have so much media now and are exposed to so much that when we see people disagreeing like this today that we are so desensitized to it. It’s not a big deal. However, back in the 50s, when the only regular media were the 3ish channels on TV and daily newspaper, seeing something like this was much more jarring because there was no desensitization to these types of disagreements. I’m 33 years old right now and it is so refreshing to watch this after seeing the Biden/Trump debate last month. I completely agree with you that the current style of debate in our country is disgusting, unhinged, and dangerous. It really makes me ashamed that these are the people in our country for children to look up to. My daughter will be 5 years old in October and I have no desire for her to see any of the debates (even in the background as she’s coloring or something) because of how awfully the candidates treat one another. It is shameful.

Notice that the debate moderator does not appear to take sides or field questions in favor of one candidate or the other, but rather seems to take a neutral stance very unlike the networks of today. Very much more fair
At the age of 43 years, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was both the youngest elected President of the United States and the second-youngest president of the United States to take office after Theodore Roosevelt who was 42 when he took office.
Anyone who runs for office these days should watch this debate closely. In sports we are used to better and better performance as the years go by. In political conversation not so much. This is a presidential debate with an actual intellectual temperature.
After watching the video I have tons of respect for the Richard Nixon Foundation posting the full debate with no edits. This is interesting as he lost in that election to the Senator and eventual president, John F. Kennedy.
Five things to note: 1. JFK and Nixon came to the Congress on the same day. Nixon is only 4 years older than JFK. Compared to Trump and Biden, the candidates of 1960 are kids... 2. Both Nixon and JFK served in the World War II. One major result of the war, was the ability of politicians of both parties to find "common ground" on certain issues, such as the G.I. Bill, Food Stamps, and National Security. It's hard to find any type of common ground, in the backgrounds of Trump and Biden, except that both of them appeared on the national scene for decades. 3. Both the Republican and Democratic Parties at the time, have conservative and liberal wings. The GOP had the Rockefeller Republicans and the Goldwater Republicans. The Democrats had the northern liberal wing, as well as the southern conservative wings. Both Nixon and Kennedy had to appear almost as centrists to get their nomination. Compromise, is a must, to get anything done in the 1950s and early 1960s. The Political Landscape of 2020, had Presidential Candidates having to come across as more appealing to the party base, than to the center. 4. The Congress is much more polarized today, than it was in 1960. Although the Democrats controlled almost two-thirds of both branches of The Congress, the bulk of the power within the Congress, rested with Southern Conservatives (Dixiecrat) who dominate the chairmanships of the key committees. These Dixiecrats, once elected, are essentially members for life. They accumulate seniority, dominate the key committees, and are unlikely to leave, except on their own accord. A Dixiecrat who chairs a key committee, such as Armed Services, might decline a Cabinet Spot, such as Secretary of Defense, because he rather control the Defense Department, from the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue. 5. JFK might propose new ideas, but realizes that he needs even higher majorities within the Congress, because of the alliance of Dixiecrats and Republicans. He needs more liberals within the Democratic Caucus of both the House and The Senate, but he also realizes that the Dixiecrats will likely remain in power, after his time as President. Despite the power the President has as a Party Leader, the odds of him being able to get rid of a Southern Democratic Congressman is slim. Most Dixiecrats can survive the primaries, when reelection comes, and the general election is typically a "rubber stamp".. Nixon is in the position of having to having to publicly defend the Eisenhower Administration, even if he disagrees with certain aspects of the President's agenda. At the same time, he also wants to provide some changes without offending the President (who is still the most popular politican at the time). Nixon is also bound, not to talk about certain aspects of National Security, like saying that the "missle gap" is false. The Congress of 2023, has very few moderates in either chamber. Almost all Democrats are liberals and almost all Republicans are conservatives. Compromise has become a "dirty word" in 2023.
The greatest leaders are always the ones which meet the most tragic of fates. ...Sometimes the world just cant accept it, the ones who stand out too much from the world, some people just cant accept that and have to tear down any light in the world that might strive to slip in.
@@jbreitz87 yep gotta agree and people back then clearly though Kennedy was the better pick in the end Which i can see why, i think he managed to convince me to him watching this debate despite me not even being American and him being long gone
@@RtaniDeanNope. That’s childish. These are real material changes that have been prevented from happening due to the same types of people preventing it. The entire “system” has shifted rightward since Reagan. Extreme individualism, pro business policies, tax cuts, and so on were made the norm. It’s not a conspiracy that teddy roosevelt proposed most of what we’re fighting for in his progressive act of 1912… that’s just how these things work. Good things are achieved with lots of hard work across generations and through coalition building across decades.
That simply isn't true. Kennedy deliberately misrepresented the Eisenhower administration, falsely claiming there was a "missile gap" between the US and USSR. I.E. Kennedy LIED. The so-called civility of the period was a mirage.
The reason for that is that those were the 60s and very little has happened at that point in the US. As years went by - you had technology, wars, and greed take over the US and if you look at today's US - 90% of the people we thought were heroes ended up being corrupt and perverted. So of course, the situation is different, there were still secrets back then, people maintained their level of heroism without being exposed.
Not only that but, Biden would be old enough to vote in the election, making it *relevant* to Biden. Trump was only 14, so he probably didn’t care that much but, he still could’ve seen it and remembered it well.
Outside of the racism, every aspect of the modern Democratic Party was created by Wilson. Internationalism, favor of worker's rights, favor of a safety net, women's rights, etc.

Respect for one another even though they were opposite wings. Nowadays politicians could stand to watch this as a reference to how to conduct a proper debate. One of the best parts of this is how Nixon politely disagreed and didn't go up and just shred JFK.
Man, 20 minutes in and this debate has already somehow taught me more about CURRENT issues facing America than any debate from the last 20 years. Seriously, will someone just pay the teachers already?! 65 years of this nonsense SMH
As someone who I don't remember why but my history teacher in 7th grade had us listen to audio of it I can admit Nixon had an impressive intellect had I been alive I would have voted for Kennedy anyway I believe he won the debate
As a young American, I had to draw comparisons between this debate and the one we just had last night. First off, the level of respect that these men have for each other is immeasurable. They’re not looking to poke at each other, not antagonistic towards each other and they support each other’s plans. Where they differ is in their means to put their plans into action. That’s it. If anyone paid any sort of attention to the debate between Trump and Harris, even an elementary student could tell us that there is a huge contrast between these two individuals in the video and the debate that occurred last night. Trump and Harris seem to only acknowledge themselves and their own “successes” rather than acknowledging the dire issues that we face in our country and frankly, internationally as well. Constantly talking over each other, laughing in each other’s faces, and providing little to no evidence or any given thought as to what they will do specifically to help subdue the national debt crisis, how we can deal with inflation, what needs to be done regarding illegal immigration, and furthermore, helping the call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Just to name a few issues.
Keep in mind, this was during the height of the Cold War, it didn’t really matter if you were a democrat or a republican, we all had a common enemy and they were all communists. War is terrifying but it does have an effect to bring everyone from one side to fight for a common cause.

Media embellishment has improved. These two would be equally as hated as our two current candidates this day in age. You would still be asking the same question. It's the manipulation by the media that has been mastered, not the deterioration of candidacy.
I would just like to point out not a woman in the room men aren't in charge of the country anymore, I say this with a love and respect for women just stating a fact, on top of this half our government thinks men are actually women and women are actually men and we are debating this on stage and actually passing legislation on this I wonder what all the interviewers and the men on stage would think of that topic today lol 😂, also politicians today lack a general understanding on economics and are fiscally irresponsible hence why half our government is campaigning on socialism both these candidates addressed the risk of communism
I was 2 years old and got to stay up late to watch this debate. Both men are articulate, intelligent, respectful and informative. Even the media asking the questions were very impressive. I slept like a baby that night, knowing, our country was strong and these men both believed, whole heartedly, that they could benefit our county, even more, if they were elected. Unfortunately, a great man was taken away from us.
Were they using a teleprompter for their speeches? I am very much impressed if they were not. They did not use filler words, nor did they stumble in their impeccable elocution.

@murdlep3463 I'm from Finland and I've been watching american politics for at least 15 years. It has been sad to see American politics become media shows where candidates bash each other more than speak of actual policy. And the little policy they speak, they deliver it unintelligently. Not like Kennedy and Nixon here. I have been asking why Americans aren't worried about their politics turning to this modern style? Politics is still similar to "old school" ways in the rest of the western world. Only American political culture has taken such kind of a turn. Non-western politics is another category.
A record is not something to stand on, a record is something to build on. Well said Nixon. I truly wished both parties today would stand on things like this, and with the same respect these two men had.

Politicians were highly respected, and I can understand how capable and how they know all the problems and how to fix them. Both were so highly talented and we miss that age. We are in a high-tech age, but our brains continue to deteriorate compared to those times.
Nixon here appears resolute, firm, and articulate, and I find it ABSOLUTELY hilarious that back in 1960 this was considered to be such an utter failure for the Nixon campaign that Nixon would never again agree to a Presidential election debate ever again, while today it is near impossible to find a candidate that can talk properly.
Nixon was terrific here, way better than JFK imo. But the average human makes 97% of their decisions using emotions and then looks for the data to justify them.

I was nine when they had this debate and I remember it so well, not really understanding the language but I can remember thinking that it was brutal. I’m now going on 73 and what I’m watching now in 2024 is off the charts disgusting, unhinged and dangerous.
Could you imagine Kennedy attacking Nixon over having sex with a porn star? 🤮
God bless you!
I can imagine why you thought that when you were a child. We have so much media now and are exposed to so much that when we see people disagreeing like this today that we are so desensitized to it. It’s not a big deal. However, back in the 50s, when the only regular media were the 3ish channels on TV and daily newspaper, seeing something like this was much more jarring because there was no desensitization to these types of disagreements.
I’m 33 years old right now and it is so refreshing to watch this after seeing the Biden/Trump debate last month. I completely agree with you that the current style of debate in our country is disgusting, unhinged, and dangerous. It really makes me ashamed that these are the people in our country for children to look up to. My daughter will be 5 years old in October and I have no desire for her to see any of the debates (even in the background as she’s coloring or something) because of how awfully the candidates treat one another. It is shameful.
Politics is attracting dummies now
Yeah, I agree. I think most people want things to go back to normal. As soon as Trump goes away, I think it has a good chance of doing so.

At the age of 43 years, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was both the youngest elected President of the United States and the second-youngest president of the United States to take office after Theodore Roosevelt who was 42 when he took office.
I wish our candidates were close to this age now. Knowing they are going to be mid 80’s final term is scary.

After watching the video I have tons of respect for the Richard Nixon Foundation posting the full debate with no edits. This is interesting as he lost in that election to the Senator and eventual president, John F. Kennedy.
Thank you!
You mean JFK? But yea great content 👌 👏
Man I envy the days of respect and civility amongst leadership and general public.
Five things to note:
1. JFK and Nixon came to the Congress on the same day. Nixon is only 4 years older than JFK. Compared to Trump and Biden, the candidates of 1960 are kids...
2. Both Nixon and JFK served in the World War II. One major result of the war, was the ability of politicians of both parties to find "common ground" on certain issues, such as the G.I. Bill, Food Stamps, and National Security. It's hard to find any type of common ground, in the backgrounds of Trump and Biden, except that both of them appeared on the national scene for decades.
3. Both the Republican and Democratic Parties at the time, have conservative and liberal wings. The GOP had the Rockefeller Republicans and the Goldwater Republicans. The Democrats had the northern liberal wing, as well as the southern conservative wings. Both Nixon and Kennedy had to appear almost as centrists to get their nomination. Compromise, is a must, to get anything done in the 1950s and early 1960s.
The Political Landscape of 2020, had Presidential Candidates having to come across as more appealing to the party base, than to the center.
4. The Congress is much more polarized today, than it was in 1960. Although the Democrats controlled almost two-thirds of both branches of The Congress, the bulk of the power within the Congress, rested with Southern Conservatives (Dixiecrat) who dominate the chairmanships of the key committees. These Dixiecrats, once elected, are essentially members for life. They accumulate seniority, dominate the key committees, and are unlikely to leave, except on their own accord.
A Dixiecrat who chairs a key committee, such as Armed Services, might decline a Cabinet Spot, such as Secretary of Defense, because he rather control the Defense Department, from the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue.
5. JFK might propose new ideas, but realizes that he needs even higher majorities within the Congress, because of the alliance of Dixiecrats and Republicans. He needs more liberals within the Democratic Caucus of both the House and The Senate, but he also realizes that the Dixiecrats will likely remain in power, after his time as President. Despite the power the President has as a Party Leader, the odds of him being able to get rid of a Southern Democratic Congressman is slim. Most Dixiecrats can survive the primaries, when reelection comes, and the general election is typically a "rubber stamp"..
Nixon is in the position of having to having to publicly defend the Eisenhower Administration, even if he disagrees with certain aspects of the President's agenda. At the same time, he also wants to provide some changes without offending the President (who is still the most popular politican at the time). Nixon is also bound, not to talk about certain aspects of National Security, like saying that the "missle gap" is false.
The Congress of 2023, has very few moderates in either chamber. Almost all Democrats are liberals and almost all Republicans are conservatives. Compromise has become a "dirty word" in 2023.
Compromise is how you get things done. Our representatives have seem to forgotten that.
Kennedy had a personal Dr called Dr feel good. Cheated constantly and was insanely open about it.
Nixon was just Nixon.
Thanks for this post. Very informative.
Gave you your 100th like. This analysis is very much true, and should be seen by many others.

Love seeing how respectful they are of each other
Both candidates would be president anyway
Ye,one got assassinated, the other gotvframef
The greatest leaders are always the ones which meet the most tragic of fates.
...Sometimes the world just cant accept it, the ones who stand out too much from the world, some people just cant accept that and have to tear down any light in the world that might strive to slip in.
Look I love Nixon because of his understanding of meeting half way to those who he didn't agree with. But JFK would have been the best leader.

They are still debating the SAME EXACT THING that we are today !! And NOTHING HAS CHANGED !!
Now we have millions on millions of illegal immigrants and people chopping off kids dongs.
They all are literal talking heads for the cyst stem, All of them. Period.
@@RtaniDeanNope. That’s childish. These are real material changes that have been prevented from happening due to the same types of people preventing it. The entire “system” has shifted rightward since Reagan. Extreme individualism, pro business policies, tax cuts, and so on were made the norm. It’s not a conspiracy that teddy roosevelt proposed most of what we’re fighting for in his progressive act of 1912… that’s just how these things work. Good things are achieved with lots of hard work across generations and through coalition building across decades.
No it’s much worse.
What changes do you expect in debates?Most issues are trans-generational.They will still exist even in 2050.
They delivered their messages without disrespect or insults. It was still a united America with a purpose for growth and prosperity.
That simply isn't true. Kennedy deliberately misrepresented the Eisenhower administration, falsely claiming there was a "missile gap" between the US and USSR. I.E. Kennedy LIED. The so-called civility of the period was a mirage.

Quote attributed to Bob Dylan
Different for those who were watching and listening to a video of a live Bach concert here! 38:00
The reason for that is that those were the 60s and very little has happened at that point in the US. As years went by - you had technology, wars, and greed take over the US and if you look at today's US - 90% of the people we thought were heroes ended up being corrupt and perverted. So of course, the situation is different, there were still secrets back then, people maintained their level of heroism without being exposed.
But there are times when you realize your heroes have feet of clay.
Amazing debate. Exactly how it should be.
This is a real debate that we aren't used to! No matter how boring you think it is, and it is boring, but this is how you debate.
As of 2024, both candidates (Trump & Biden) were old enough to have watched this live back in the day. Wonder if they ever thought back on this...

@@angelosalvatoredelouisa
Because you’re a lefty w/o common sense.
As a young American, I had to draw comparisons between this debate and the one we just had last night. First off, the level of respect that these men have for each other is immeasurable. They’re not looking to poke at each other, not antagonistic towards each other and they support each other’s plans. Where they differ is in their means to put their plans into action. That’s it. If anyone paid any sort of attention to the debate between Trump and Harris, even an elementary student could tell us that there is a huge contrast between these two individuals in the video and the debate that occurred last night. Trump and Harris seem to only acknowledge themselves and their own “successes” rather than acknowledging the dire issues that we face in our country and frankly, internationally as well. Constantly talking over each other, laughing in each other’s faces, and providing little to no evidence or any given thought as to what they will do specifically to help subdue the national debt crisis, how we can deal with inflation, what needs to be done regarding illegal immigration, and furthermore, helping the call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Just to name a few issues.
Yeah its a shame it's not like this anymore. Nixon even corrected a negative statement about Kennedy. That would NEVER happen nowadays.
Keep in mind, this was during the height of the Cold War, it didn’t really matter if you were a democrat or a republican, we all had a common enemy and they were all communists. War is terrifying but it does have an effect to bring everyone from one side to fight for a common cause.

I have been asking why Americans aren't worried about their politics turning to this modern style? Politics is still similar to "old school" ways in the rest of the western world. Only American political culture has taken such kind of a turn.
Non-western politics is another category.
