What a magnificent orator. The excitement is truly palatable in Boston Garden. The first five minutes of this clip, I thought that I was hearing Beatlemania! Just amazing! Thanx for the clip.
A truly global iconic, natural leader. At the end of his 8 year presidency he would still have been only 51, with so much to do for the world.....we miss you forever!
What a loving and befitting welcome for one of Boston's own sons and for a President whose grandfather was a past mayor of Boston. Such an enjoyable viewing 👌
God...How far we've fallen since 1960...
What a standing ovation and a well deserved one! You will always be a source of inspiration for all Americans and the world at large! God bless you!
Joe Kennedy made his fortune rum-running
Amen
A long campaign speech, no notes, no teleprompter, coherent and able to recall names and data easily at will. How standards have fallen in public speaking by political leaders. The brilliance of the likes of JFK has long gone sadly.
One of the greatest speeches of any kind by any man in history.
@Chams Ali I agree with you about the warning
Always remarkable to wish to quote from so far back in the 1960s! Incredible! Loved America and American leadership in the global world. Julie Ann Racino, American Society for Public Administration, International, 2019
and the teleprompter yet to be invented. Not perfect but made most of his contemporaries proud to be USA citizens.
I remember watching him on TV..He was my hero as a boy...I have never forgotten him and never will.
Same 😊😊😊😊
Same Here.
I checked Wikipedia regarding seating capacity for Boston Gardens and in doing so found that there was a figure for how many people attended this rally for JFK. The number of people who turned out for JFK in the arena was 20,000, but the Boston police estimated that there were another 100,000 in the streets. It just seems to me that those 20,000 sure are making a lot of noise, demonstrating their excitement for this outstanding candidate.
Let them make all d noise they want.
Johnny Most used to say 13,909...
I only want this man , no man else , exactly this man only .
God , it’s him , I only want this man , pls , only him . Exactly him only .
Pls
I love him so much .
He had charisma ,charm,personality...I remember him when I was a small child and was enamored with him,even then.
Well good Marion Harris I was only a couple of years old on November 22nd 1963 So I would n t have any recall of Kennedy But for the most part during the short time he held office I think he did a pretty good job
As a libertarian, he is one of the greats
History of the world will always love and respect His excellent speech and deeds.
What a legend! God I so miss the dignity he brought to the office. For those who dont remember just listen to just a little of the speech!
Angela Payne the CIA killed him not Oswald Rothschild put him on a hit list NWO he had an affair with Monroe
Angela Payne I’m not afraid to speak the truth
he was so accurate about the ABSENCE OF a coming future secrecy to globalize FREEDOM into what is now a reclusive MANDATE
@@cherylcacchione3236 recommend me some books on this subject please
@Cheryl Cacchione Monroe was dead a year before JFKs assassination.
I was allowed to stay up late, for the first time in my life, to watch the election results come in. The family was happy.
My first time seeing this video. Not sure if this was carried on live tv I am t hinking not. I was only 8years old when JFK as elected, but I, like so many had HIGH HOPES!! We were thrilled when he was elected. Not one of us could have ever imagined the tragedy that was to come. We will never really recover from it. The dark forces of evil still lurk everywhere in this country. It's a constant battle.
Such a President like a HERO who possesses MAGNETIC PERSONALITY, inspired much the minds and hearts of American citizen throughout the world, your name and your heroic act will be remembered in world history...
He was sincere and he did inspire and got people thinking about their roll in the great American Society that in 2022 is no more.
A brilliant President with strong determination to fight for freedom and justice to all mankind, to sustain the peace and security in the United States of America..
as always, anoer DEMOCRAT INSTITUIONAL RACIST appointing segqegationist judges
Thanks so much for sharing.
I got emotion and it made me cry when I saw Mr. Kennedy. 😢❤
Great speech with hopefully thank you everyone for sharing
President Kennedy had the class and caring of the office of the president. He was the only President that earned the office. I voted for him and if he could run again I would vote again for him.
Either know I wasn't yet born, President Kennedy has been a great inspiration in my life....My love for the man will never die.
The most powerful and famous President of the United States of America, possess Magnetic personality, his personality would mean as INCOMPARABLE ONE, THE NAME KENNEDY WILL ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS BEING A COURAGEOUS LEADER AT ALL TIMES, THANKS FOR UPLOADING...
mob tainted & influnced by his bootlegger / market manipulator / NAZI appeaser father
My great uncle and great aunt met him during this like I mean face to face full blown conversation. My great uncle worked for Bobby Kennedy and when they were in Boston he asked JFK if he would come meet his wife. So he came into the hotel room and gave her a hug and called her by her first name then they had an actual full conversation with him. I have a picture of the conversation. My great uncle is the guy in the wheel chair on stage when JFK walks off.
What were their names?
Cool
Very very popular president we have nothing to give you besides your rememberance.
Absolutely awesome to see this great man.
I listen to him and remember when I was young.
The most loved and fascinated President through out the world, Best welknown leader who inspired much the heart of the American citizens and very much notable for spreading civil right, preservation of peace and security, to all mankind... 💖💖💖
I miss him even if I'm only 20 years old. I remember him from my past.
nollyfkennedy Long live JFK
Cool, calm and always connected. 😊❤
He was our best looking president - that had charisma .The professor John Robinson of the 60's tv show LOST IN SPACE was patterned after him.Sadly missed.
Come to think of it, the actor that played John Robinson in Lost in Space beared a very close resemblance to Kennedy.
What a nice coincidence. I discovered the same. Guy Williams had the same Character and Charisma as John F Kennedy. If you seen all the Lost in space episodes is was clearly a resemblance 🤔
Oh !!! Priceless.
"We want Jack"!! "We want Jack"!!
Our last true and the greatest president in the history of the United States.
Thanks JFK Library for posting this. I have to say, the reception he is getting at this Election Eve Rally is stronger, noisier, more enthusiastic than any candidate gets today - that includes Clinton or Obama. Nothing like this reception.
jack twine hero hippy grinch
home boy
Yes I was thinking how much his supporters loved him, and I totally get it he represented an ldealistic and optimistic future and a lot of that was lost the day he died
RFK got similar enthusiastic reactions in 1968. If only…
And now in 2020 we have two guys in their late 70’s running .
Not anymore.
A Statesman and a genuine Leader !!!!....after him the cosmic empty space........
The pinnacle of American society.
organized crime society
2:10 the first person jfk shakes hands with is a very slim Tip O'Neill......ironically the first two candidates he mentions would lose the next day, voters re-electing Sen. Everett Saltonstall (R) & electing a newcomer John Volpe (R) as Governor.....just before he begins speaking the man on his left is Att.General Ed McCormack who would have a bitter primary with Teddy Kennedy two years later
"Now in the revolution of 1960 the cause of all mankind is the cause of America." Wow
It was exactly like this in June 1961 when President and Mrs Kennedy visited London and we were among the just under a million people who turned out to see their motorcade through central London. I vividly remember the wild excitement of the crowds as their motorcade passed by. My parents later said they were never prouder to be American than on that day. The nation and the world lost so much when President Kennedy was assassinated.
great president! great man!
Trump is not
Best EVER. NO EXCEPTION
What a speech!! Incredible 👏👏👏👏👏
Too bad he chose a Texan as his running mate. LBJ said he will do anything to be the President. And many believe he did as he prophesied.
Probably, the most handsome President of the United States of America and eloquent speaker at all times, it was a great lost for the American citizen, whe Pres. JOHN F KENNEDY died!
Election Eve, and JFK spoke at Boston Garden, and it was a moment which was big, because JFK was prepared, and made terrific speeches.
Wow the decorum of Presidential speaking has changed dramatically in the past eight years or so.
Can ww have this kind of President again?
@liberty Ann;
NOT going to happen; i'm Sad to say. NOT with our Hideous Educational System DELIBERATELY put in place to thoroughly Indoctrinate Americans; NOT Education. Kennedy was Born in 1917. Different Time. Different America. Im sitting here writing this on 9/17/2020. America 30 Years from now will be a full blown Communist/Socialist State. I'm sincerely Hope i'am gone by then. It will be a Hell On Earth. LITERALLY.
Incredible footage. Granted, he had serious flaws, but it is impossible not to like the guy.
Just looking at him,
his stance is humble, his heart sincere and his words true. An exceptional Statesman but not with faults.
@suesteph - his " humble " whatever was a predator, proving alchohol & drugs to undeage interns

@@MrZackavelli JULY 11, 1986
The 22 children of Elijah Muhammad, the late founder...
CHICAGO -- The 22 children of Elijah Muhammad, the late founder of the Nation of Islam, are entitled to $5.7 million improperly turned over to the current leader of the religion, a judge has ruled.
Cook County Circuit Judge Henry Budzinski ended a seven-year court battle with his ruling Thursday that the disputed bank account at the First Pacific Bank of Chicago, now known as Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, was the private property of Muhammad and did not belong to the church of Islam.
After Muhammad's death, the Pacific Bank closed his account and transferred the funds into a new account of one of his sons, Wallace Muhammad. The younger Muhammad was later named the new leader of the Islam nation, which is now known as the Muslim American Community.
Eight of Elijah Muhammad's 22 children filed suit in 1979, contending the money belonged to their father's estate and not to the religious community.
The account totaled $3.3 million when Muhammad died in 1975 and has accrued more than $2 million in interest.
Budzinski ruled in favor of the estate in 1982 but the state appellate court asked him to reconsider the case with additional evidence in 1984.
@@MrZackavelli mr.Muhammad himself said that I defected well in reality I never even left the Muslim movement they put me out and they put me out because of what I knew and what I knew was told to me by mr. Muhammad's son Wallace Muhammad himself they put me out and they put him out well now first of all let's find out what it is that Wallace Muhammad Elijah Muhammad his son told you well number one if you notice the the stick that I always used in presenting representing and defending the Muslim movement was the fact that it had the ability the ability to reform the morals of the so-called Negro community it eliminated drug addiction alcoholism fornication adultery loose sex sexual behavior which meant that uh had eliminated bastard babies illegitimate children well as long as I knew that this was what it represented and it gave me a strong
stick I could represent it and defend it
but we had a law which meant which means which was that whenever any
Muslim became involved in any kind of
sexual relationship with someone to whom
they weren't married that person would
be brought before the Muslim community
community humiliated and then isolated
for from one to five years this was our law well in 1954 our teenage sister left Detroit and became one of mr. Muhammad's personal secretaries and there in the Chicago office she became pregnant after being there for a year and she was brought
before the Muslim community and
humiliated and isolated and a year a
year later another secretary this time
one from Lansing Michigan came to
Chicago she also became pregnant she was brought before the community and
humiliated and isolated and because the
other person was never brought forth
during this court session it was
concluded by all of mr. Muhammad's
followers that it was a non-muslim who
was the other party well we grew so
rapidly and to that in 1957 or 58 the
secretarial staff was expanded to I
think eight teenage sisters in 1959 six
of them disappeared two of them
reappeared in Philadelphia about two or
three months later and they were all
right the other four reappeared in 1960
all four of them had babies all four of
them had become involved with someone
and become pregnant and had these
children so it was from what I now know
when the four of them got back to
Chicago and begin to compare notes they
found that the same man had told all of
them the same story and had made all of
them pregnant that the same man was the father of all four of their children and
had also been the father of the children
brought forth by the two secretaries who
preceded them so this story was kept
among these sisters until 1962
two of them rebelled against the person
who was responsible and begin to tell
the story all over the city of Chicago
it caused many of the Muslims in the
Chicago mosques to leave and go back out
in the street they knew it and it I knew
nothing about it until 1963 when mr.
Muhammad's son who had been in prison
came out and he was he had been a
minister he was very religious and
spiritual and when he began to hear
these rumors around Chicago he went to
one of the sisters and the sister
admitted to him that the rumor was true
and it was he who first told me about it
and when he told me about it I took I
wrote to mr. Mohammed and told him about it and he admitted that he had a
knowledge of it and that he'd given me a
religious explanation that would fit
into prophecy and all of that so I was
quiet and it wasn't until October of
1963 that it came up again and when it
came up again I realized that the same
person who had made these other sisters
pregnant was still busy doing the same
thing he hadn't stopped two of the
sisters had two children by the same man
and one of the two one of those two
sisters was pregnant still getting ready
to have a third child by the same man so
when it was known among the Chicago
officials that I had a knowledge of this
they become very fearful of me they
became very antagonistic toward me and
they tried they had to do something to
diminish the authority that I had for
fear that if this became public
knowledge the followers would leave the
Muslim movement and follow me and it was at that time that they used the
statement that I made against President
Kennedy as a pretext to cut my Authority
and some other things happen that
finally were produced to split or forced
to split and when I made the split the
only reason that I didn't make this
public knowledge was I knew the
implications and I felt that if the
Muslims who were in the Nation of Islam
knew it that which enables them to be so strongly religious and exercise moral
discipline would be shattered and it
would cause all of them to go right back
and start doing the things that they had
been doing previously who is the father
of all of these various children whom
you have enumerated the first one to
tell me who the father was was Wallace
Muhammad and he told me that the father
was Elijah Muhammad himself one of the
sisters - he went to the home of one of
the sisters and when he walked in the
door she said I want to let you see
something and she showed him her child
she said here's your brother and your father is the one your father is the father of this child and then ask questioned the sisters myself because it was shook up and they admitted to me that Elijah Muhammad was the father
I Hope This is something I remember & have been trying to Find!
It wasn't what I remember ~ but It Was How GOOD HE Was & That's Everything I WISH We Had NOW! I Continue my Search ...
I love jfk he was the greatest President ever. Trump does not compare to jfk.
Chuck sims II
I agree, there has never been a president more worthy of respect than JFK.
But there is still, that underlying problem they both address
Trump is a great speaker
San' no
Trump and Reagan , both corrupt draft dodgers.
Love you John
J.F.K. = THE BEST IN MY BOOK= MY FOREVER PRESIDENT = MY FAMILY AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HIM....
Bobby Kaminski:Agreed. JFK: tamerica's last decent president and the last American president Who was worthy of he office.
Oh my God,what has happened to the American presidency.
You see president JFK I was not born then,just brilliant
and an indispendable true "world leader"
there has not been another since and then the current presidency.
World has gone upside down!!
A man men I will never forget him I was only 10 when he made that speech.
People forget how much of a cold-warrior he was.
I love jfk
I will always wonder if JFK knew his fate if he would choose the same path?
Yes, I think he would have .... maybe things would have been better/worse if he lived ???
He'd take precautions and CHANGE THAT FATE
This man seems to have been born to be President. And, a great one at that. I'm guite sure his devotion to public service would have compelled him to run for the Presidency. No stranger to adversity was he.
I think he would still go down that road.
He never shrunk from danger, he was in the thick of action in WW2 when due to his privlege could have sat it out and he paid for it with severe back pain the rest of his life after the Pt 109 was hit by a Japanese destroyer. I too think he would have choosen the same path. It still hurts me deeply today though on what happened to him.
I bet he hated that confetti in his hair
Wow!
14:37 incredible
Wow, did anyone see the lunatic at 19:14? The staff and cop were awfully cavalier in getting that guy out of there.
He was fortunate to have staff and a cop with him. He was still only a candidate that evening. Secret Service wasn't due him until he was elected.
JFK could simply walk in a room and the entire place would simply go crazy.
Such an amazing man and icon! The Democrat party then represented the mass of people. I hope the modern party comes to its senses and provides the American public real choice to the Republicans. Right now they are too extremist.
Back when politics was exciting, not depressing.
Charisma charisma charisma!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
I made a faux pas. That was not the Los Angeles convention. It was in Boston on Election Eve in 1960.. I apologize for the goof-up. Was thrown off by the 16DNC:96 appearing above.
Those were the days. Such a sad story. Anybody know the story of the guy in the white trench coat at 19:04?
This man was the bomb.
No teleprompter -
The difference between politics, politicians and inspiring leadership! Does not matter what side of the fence you are on. Jack was a rock star who loved his country. In comparison today we reside in the midst of an empty suit clown show. Both houses of Congress are dysfunctional and couldn’t negotiate their way out out of a wet paper bag. Term limits for all of them! Let’s gets some new young JFK’s with a burning desire
Get your facts straight please. The Democratic Convention with JFK was held in Los Angeles in 1960. It had nothing to do with 1996 or Election eve activities in Boston later in 1960. Please make the proper corrections.
Always learn from the best.
Is there any way JFK can be brought back to life?
I ONLY WISH.....
JFK did not vote for O’Connor for Senate: he voted for the Republican Saltonstall, whom he liked and with whom he’d worked on behalf of several home state issues. Ironically, Edward McCormack would be Ted Kennedy’s opponent in the primary held before the 1962 special election for Senate.
Qué gran carisma tuvo este gran hombre, tengo 70 años y no me canso de leer sobre él lo admiro para mi el mejor presidente de todos los tiempos.
what a magnetic man
🙏🙏🙏 Thank God I have overcome the world 🌎. Thank God for my freedom. Thank God I have a second chance to honor my marriage and family. Thank God for full time employment 🇺🇸
canada loved him also
Sounds a lot like making America great, and America first.
thats not bone spurs
JFK#1
I didn't know the Democrats National Convention was held the night before election day back then. Both parties national conventions have always been during summer as far back as I remember.
The convention was in July, 1960, followed by the campaign and those famous debates. This video was the night before election day, when Kennedy was "home" and would vote the next morning--November 8, 1960
@@christinewrona643 Thanks for the information. It sure looked like a convention instead of a regular campaign stop were the crowds were usually smaller. I believe it wasn't until 2016 when we saw every campaign rally of Donald Trump's attended by tens of thousands of people.
Como ele era amado pelo povo
Question: How does President Kennedy's oratorical skills compare to President Obama's? Whose skills were more impressive?
Television Man Kennedy could motivate anyone, he had a way with words and a genuine love for his country. Obama much the same, unfortunately I feel that Obama faulted at times, were Kennedy delivered a great punch line, Obama does not.
Obama's great too but no one beats Jack.
Television Man Probably JFK but Obama a very close second....
I was only 11 yrs old when he gave this powerful speech. As Nov 3rd 2020 approaches only two Presidents deserves this ovation President Reagan and President Donald J. Trump. God we pray for President Trump
HAHAHAHAHA. What a joke!
You mean the paedophile Reagan and the alleged rapist racist bigoted orange orangutan Trump. Lol. You must be on drugs or have mental health issues.
5:19 are they yelling JFK???
Love you my sugar Daddy❤️🌹
JFK for ever. !!!
When he fell out of the charisma tree, he hit every branch on the way down. RIP JFK!
I’m not afraid to speak the truth
lol lunatic
Watch out for that old Polecat Lyndon
17:42
That must've torn his lower back apart
Too bad he couldn't reach out to all of them
And they said a trump rally rocked
Kennedy: um autêntico superstar ! E a bandinha atacando o tema marinha (Navy) o tempo todo !
I want one of those hats does anyone have one for sale d round one's.
I can only imagine what a exciting time this was, what a shame, he was taken from this world to early
THE BEST NOT ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BUT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD...
hahahaha
Mason handshake at 5:07!
