John Kopacka well with Kennedy they’re not dealing with an ignorant, narcissistic bully who lies with every breath he takes. They have no reason to hold JFKs feet to the fire.
As you watch this, ponder the fact that he'd only been in office for five days. His poise, gravity, command of the issues and eloquence become all the more remarkable in that light, especially when challenged by the physical pain we now know he was in on that day and every day of his presidency.

He even looked forward to meeting with the press confernce because he was honest and knew at the end of the day the media would be honest with his message
What a compassionate..intelligent and elequent President we were fortunate to have..for too short a time..What a tragic loss not only to us Americans but our entire world peoples..
JFK was a good president, however he had his faults as anyone has. For those of us remember JFK had more disagreements with me of his own party instead of republicans. JFK was attempting to make changes in the direction of the county which upset many powerful interests all of which led to his assassination.
Exactly, Kennedy was much to good. And the corrupt politicians were not only jealous but they didn't like his policies for peace and while Kennedys ultimate goal of ending banning nuclear weapons as the numder 1 ONE PRIORITY, but the corrupt politicians didn't like that either. And the war monger politicians tried to block it. Sad world when evil wins with their nuclear play--toys. When the World lost John Kennedy the world lost a great leader 💔

This was a time America didn't have a OLIGARCH president in the whitehouse attacking the media and calling news outlets fake and standing for fakefox koolaid machine network
Pres Kennedy was taking our country down the road of peace and prosperity we the common folk lost a lot that awful day in 1963. Everything has been getting worse ever since the world of today is a corrupt, evil, chaotic mess.
100 years apart. In an actor portrayal of Kennedy (Mike Farrel, JFK A One Man Show) Kennedy invokes Lincoln. Kennedy mused on Lincoln, that being elected to a second term, gave Lincoln his place in history, he was able to end the Civil War and prepare for the reconstruction but the Kennedy legend rests with what might have been. That's true in some ways but Kennedy did a lot (peace Corps, Alliance for Progress, Nuclear test ban treaty, Tax reductions, civil rights, the reach for the moon and the peaceful end to the Cuban Missile crisis). If he didn't finish at least he began. "All this will not be finished in the first 100 days, nor in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet, but let us begin."
Did anyone else catch what was the LAST QUESTION at 36:15? (paraphrase) "On a related subject, without seeming morbid, have you given any consideration to the problem with Eisenhower, in the succession, in case of injury, illness, or incapacitation?" I can't stop watching him. These videos are absolutely incredible.
I agree, they are incredible. I am always happy to see JFK in action. The fact that we know how this wonderful president died in office in such an awful manner, it is almost scary that the last question of the first press conference would concern presidential succession (we were just 7 years before the 25th amendment), of course no one could know at the time that our 35th president would fall by an assassin's bullets.
he was a highly educated and skilled goverment leader...and rose to the highest challenges of his era....he was taken from us...too soon and we were cheated....as a nation...as a people ...as a world...
I wanted to see what a real President of United States looked like, and should look like, given the present situation in April, 2020. Boy we miss those days.
@@maxwaters1461 Max, Other than his lack of honesty, Reagan was ok. We still have not paid the deficit he left behind. I know, you probably going to say "what about Obama" - Great Recession left behind by another "tax cutter" (GW), and another.
@@tejrandhawa7047 Obama was very charismatic, convincing, and we'll spoken. He represented our country very well abroad and worked well with our foes of the world 🌍, and he didn't get our kids and grandkids in a war, but under Trump's reign, as hard as it is for me to admit, unemployment was at a all time low, along with a few other accolades people not willing to give him credit for. Not mention stimulation of the economy, and quite frankly other countries knew not to push him into a corner. 🤔 Whew wee (wiping sweat from my forehead 😆.) Voted for H.Clinton.
At the age of 5 years and 26 days I heard this magnificent man give this powerful speech that gave me hope of a future for our Nation the flashing cameras just did something to help me literally remember every word. In school I had an accent like President Kennedy but the speech therapist said I didn't sound like the other children so she made me learn hillbilly instead.
Yes, you got it right. You said "they". With all that has been proven in 53 years, I'm not sure if the man Jack Ruby killed was the real Lee Harvey Oswald, let alone knew of plot or fired one shot. I think perhaps he helped sneak in "The Depsitory" sniper team and then tied up elevator on fifth floor before going to lunch or watched that no one tried to use elevator while on first and second floors during his lunch. That is, if he wasn't standing right outside the front door watching motorcade and being photographed.
There would have been no Vietnam war for the U.S.. See JFKs National Security Action Memorandum 263. This was very likely the biggest reason he was assassinated.
Rogue elements of the CIA, payback for Bay of Pigs, plus a couple Mafia hit teams, payback for Bobby's attacks on organized crime. Many shooters, not all took a shot. Dallas police probably involved as well. Altered route, lax building sweeps, totally bogus aftermath. Coup by cabal.
Man we need a new jfk, or atleast to live in a country that would allow one and not have him or her killed for doing the right things and standing up against our corrupted as fuck government.
one thing is certain: the man had charisma and was very charming.But - as they say - Death is not seduced by anything, it leads to all, regardless of beauty, wealth or power.
I think JFK was the most intelligent, knowledgeable, worldly, well versed & most hands on & involved president we've ever had. As well as I think one of the most humble & compassionate. JFK was really in a league of his own as far as politicians go & was the most sophisticated, charming & classiest of all our presidents. The US was forever altered after his assassination.
The perfect example of how a president in a democracy should respond with respect to journalists, and without questions prepared in advance. An example that must serve forever and for all time.
You're both missing something . The first reporter's question was indifferent to maintaining the security of the nation's interests .That would predict the abuse of a free press ,by design, for tipping our hand to real , and potential adversaries.@@FredPena-rd5cf
He was a great man! He would be considered a Republican by today's standards. He was a visionary, compassionate and was wise in consulting Eisenhower in some important decisions. RIP
This was a time when both parties represented what the constitution had to say what was paramount to the American system. The death of American democracy is the disillusion of the constitution.
The Constitution of the United States is the ark of freedom's foundation. To keep our American democracy alive, our leaders need to take their oaths and take them very seriously. The people we elect must "Support and defend, bear true faith and allegiance and preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution of the United States, "so help me God." the oath is a promise to God and fellow citizens, that must be kept. This is the only way our Republic can survive.
President Eisenhower did not hold live televised news conferences, so this was the first time many Americans heard a president addressed as "Mr. President". One of the network journalists called attention to this practice after the news conference was over. He contrasted "Mr. President", a relatively humble form of address, with the forms of address for heads of state in other countries, such as "Your Majesty".
Wow! A real president! Not one word about the size of his inauguration crowd, he is speaking about aid for others in poor countries instead of about himself
A brilliant man who read 1200 words a minute and never signed anything he did not thoroughly understand. He also was a staunch supporter of the constitution and the institution of the supreme court, even when their decisions were not personally desirable. He demanded open and heated debating of all issues in order to properly identify issues and effect solutions. He was a master of the process, and had the talent and intelligence to execute the process. There is no one in the country who is comparable or even remotely close in character and talent. And he was anti-regime change as a national policy. He believed in aid to countries but not fighting their wars for them. He did not deal with ideology or demonizing of opponents. Watch his debates with Nixon. He always was informed of the facts and details.
can you predict the future because it looks like your talking about Trump? He would read every major newsprint first thing after waking up and while having breakfast, then start his day of activities. By the time Biden's cat wakes him up, Kennedy would have already finished reading and getting his important briefings from his advisors. We know now, that Biden doesn't get daily briefings from his advisors, eg. Secretary Austin { MIA from the President for how many days } and we know Biden doesn't read good off of prompters, maybe he should try reading from hand notes like President Kennedy. He might have better luck?
Still hard to believe that this great man was assinated in the height of his life and career in politics. He would have been even a greater President and world leader than he was if allowed to stay on this earth. Such a travesty..
+Carla Moss, yes and very smart also! My mom remembers him and speaks very fondly of this time. He had so much promise and great ideas about how the U.S. should progress, while working with other countries! We lost a great leader when he left us so tragically.
He had a certain charisma which some people have said was akin to a rock star and women loved him and certainly fell for him which, as a compulsive womanizer, he took full advantage of. His was a very fascinating and complex personality formed by a childhood dominated by his older brother Joseph Jr. (whose destiny within the family was to be President until his tragic and reckless death in WWll) whose life path JFK stepped into and his life long health problems. He was a very sickly person his whole life and a few times gravely so. He was probably the most intelligent of all his brothers and sisters and he certainly had a very powerful intellect and a curious and seeking mind but the image we have of him as physically strong and vital was nothing but a mask. He lived with constant pain and the filling out of his face in comparison to his very thin younger years and his apparently tanned complexion were a result of the medication he took for his Addison's disease. He never thought he would live to be an old man. Until his last year or so in office he thought his poor health would catch up to him and keep his life short and in his last year or so he spoke often to a small number of those very close to him of being assassinated. A very fascinating hisr]=torical figure he was and if you really want to learn about him you'll need to read more than two or three books about him, his family and his era.
@@jellybean42 Reagan, H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama had about the same level of accomplishments if not a good bit more than JFK had. Nobody could outdo Kennedy on public speaking, and his death made him a martyr so sometimes our view is skewed.

Why God WHY did they have to let this man be killed. He should have been protected at all costs. No one is perfect and he certainly wasn't, but murdering him in a sense was a Crime against Humanity. In a spiritual sense, a Crime against Nature. Just my opinion.
Examine the current state of the world. 2 Timothy 4:1-5 states "You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. People will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!" Jesus is coming back. Are you ready?
the last great potus , he will never forgotten , he was so loved and he loved this country and wanted the best for a peaceful world , DeSantis and Tulsi Gabbard have similar principles and visions to be the change in the world for the good
John Kennedy was not a "Democratic" president, he was every bit an American president. Despite later revelations about some sordid elements of his personal life, my respect and affection for him and his presidency has never diminished, even though I began as a Democrat-sympathetic person and moved toward a more conservative, Constitutional voter and adult. If he were to run for office today, he would also be considered a conservative on most issues. And I would be pleased to vote for him again. It was he who sparked my lifelong interest in politics from my age of ten, in 1960.

How far we have fallen! Here is a press conference with an intelligent president who is fully in control of his words and positions, and a press who acts civilly and is interested in receiving information about important issues.
Jack was NOT feeling well, you can see him listing forward, in addition to having crippling back pain, he suffered from Addison's disease as well...this man is my all time hero. He averted WWIII with nothing but his intellect and his balls.
John Kennedy was a dying man HIS ENTIRE LIFE and few people knew it
He had adrenal problems but he performed his duties brilliantly... Also, can you name someone who has had absolutely no health problems.

@@mannyfresh4199 he is so watch out. Trump2020... Wake up.. Respect to late President Kennedy.. Honest men are persecuted and ridiculed.. And ultimately destroyed... Pay attention and stop being a child... Rude ppl can be put right in their place and if we gotta be nasty too do it... I guess you get what you give right??
Pretty much yep.
The media today are vicious...they would be shouting at him constantly!..This whole era we live in now is so pathetic...give me a time machine please!
John Kopacka well with Kennedy they’re not dealing with an ignorant, narcissistic bully who lies with every breath he takes. They have no reason to hold JFKs feet to the fire.
A lot more mutual respect back then and worked both ways between those in power and the media
As you watch this, ponder the fact that he'd only been in office for five days. His poise, gravity, command of the issues and eloquence become all the more remarkable in that light, especially when challenged by the physical pain we now know he was in on that day and every day of his presidency.
A far cry from the dumb and dumber scene of today!
Rather than a moron like Biden who moved to destroy the economy and energy independence on his first damn day in office
Now we have a dementia patient for a president…oh how far this country has fallen…
Had to watch this today to remember how far we've come...DOWN. Can you believe we had news conferences like this at one time?

I really don't think people truly appreciate how great of a president and presence this man was for America and how much he really put on the line to stop corruption and save America from meltdown like JFK did. He even died for this reason... People only seem to remember too much about his private life more than his Presidential life and I hope everyone today could realize how much this man did for the entire world that still is prevalent for us today
He wanted us out of Vietnam and the war machine couldn't abide by that, so he was eliminated.
@@pessia61 That was one of many ///////////////
He along with his brother most likely saved the world from nuclear annhiliation. The war machine that was still in operation told him that the warheads were not active in Cuba. They WERE!!! Thank God cooler heads prevailed.

@@bigfloppaism996 Project whatever you want on his martyrdom in death, he was a great dude but essentially served his view of the interests of the United States in just the same way Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama did. Which is to say a mix of successes and mistakes.
@@johnpaulkane5977 Trump is a puppet. He is surrounded by billionaires and corporate shills in cabinet. He's escalating war with Iran, signing more trade deals, giving the richest in the country more tax cuts. Look at his military spending too. He's no JFK.
A great public speaker who used the media as a tool and he respected them and they respected the president.
exception to nearly all other leaders always afraid of media stories he embraced the media. He was opposite of other leaders who evaded the media. He even looked forward to meeting with the press confernce because he was honest and knew at the end of the day the media would be honest with his message
Kind of like Obiden and Obama

JFK was a good president, however he had his faults as anyone has. For those of us remember JFK had more disagreements with me of his own party instead of republicans. JFK was attempting to make changes in the direction of the county which upset many powerful interests all of which led to his assassination.
I don t think that s true Lucian Prescott Oswald just wanted to be a big man That s why Kennedy was killed no conspiracy or anything
Here we go again..

Exactly, Kennedy was much to good. And the corrupt politicians were not only jealous but they didn't like his policies for peace and while Kennedys ultimate goal of ending banning nuclear weapons as the numder 1 ONE PRIORITY, but the corrupt politicians didn't like that either. And the war monger politicians tried to block it. Sad world when evil wins with their nuclear play--toys. When the World lost John Kennedy the world lost a great leader 💔
Head rocked back only thing I know Oswald did not fire fatal shot impossible
PRESIDEN JOHN F KENNEDY. I HONOR YOU AS A PERSON WHO ALLOWS THE RULE TO BE RE MADE. A WONDERFUL ANGEL INDEED. THANK YOU FROM ALL OF MY HEART. ALWAYS A FRIEND ALWAYS WHEN ANYBODY NEEDS ONE. THANK YOU.
We only keep living memory of a great leader like Him that came in this planet once ,..
I appreciate your generosity. Have a good day!
This was a time when we had believable news media. Reporters were respectful and respected. This is true journalism.
This was a time America didn't have a OLIGARCH president in the whitehouse attacking the media and calling news outlets fake and standing for fakefox koolaid machine network
Pres Kennedy was taking our country down the road of peace and prosperity we the common folk lost a lot that awful day in 1963. Everything has been getting worse ever since the world of today is a corrupt, evil, chaotic mess.
Abraham Lincoln & JFK..the 2 greatest presidents ever!!
100 years apart. In an actor portrayal of Kennedy (Mike Farrel, JFK A One Man Show) Kennedy invokes Lincoln. Kennedy mused on Lincoln, that being elected to a second term, gave Lincoln his place in history, he was able to end the Civil War and prepare for the reconstruction but the Kennedy legend rests with what might have been. That's true in some ways but Kennedy did a lot (peace Corps, Alliance for Progress, Nuclear test ban treaty, Tax reductions, civil rights, the reach for the moon and the peaceful end to the Cuban Missile crisis). If he didn't finish at least he began. "All this will not be finished in the first 100 days, nor in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet, but let us begin."
Did anyone else catch what was the LAST QUESTION at 36:15? (paraphrase) "On a related subject, without seeming morbid, have you given any consideration to the problem with Eisenhower, in the succession, in case of injury, illness, or incapacitation?" I can't stop watching him. These videos are absolutely incredible.
I agree, they are incredible. I am always happy to see JFK in action. The fact that we know how this wonderful president died in office in such an awful manner, it is almost scary that the last question of the first press conference would concern presidential succession (we were just 7 years before the 25th amendment), of course no one could know at the time that our 35th president would fall by an assassin's bullets.
he was a highly educated and skilled goverment leader...and rose to the highest challenges of his era....he was taken from us...too soon and we were cheated....as a nation...as a people ...as a world...
Similar to present times in a way
I wanted to see what a real President of United States looked like, and should look like, given the present situation in April, 2020. Boy we miss those days.

@@maxwaters1461 Max, Other than his lack of honesty, Reagan was ok. We still have not paid the deficit he left behind. I know, you probably going to say "what about Obama" - Great Recession left behind by another "tax cutter" (GW), and another.
@@tejrandhawa7047 Obama was very charismatic, convincing, and we'll spoken. He represented our country very well abroad and worked well with our foes of the world 🌍, and he didn't get our kids and grandkids in a war, but under Trump's reign, as hard as it is for me to admit, unemployment was at a all time low, along with a few other accolades people not willing to give him credit for. Not mention stimulation of the economy, and quite frankly other countries knew not to push him into a corner. 🤔 Whew wee (wiping sweat from my forehead 😆.)
Voted for H.Clinton.
He was beautiful, charismatic and intelligent
At the age of 5 years and 26 days I heard this magnificent man give this powerful speech that gave me hope of a future for our Nation the flashing cameras just did something to help me literally remember every word. In school I had an accent like President Kennedy but the speech therapist said I didn't sound like the other children so she made me learn hillbilly instead.
Where were these press conferences held ?
Master of the press conference.Who knows what would have been had they not blown his brains out.
Yes, you got it right. You said "they". With all that has been proven in 53 years, I'm not sure if the man Jack Ruby killed was the real Lee Harvey Oswald, let alone knew of plot or fired one shot. I think perhaps he helped sneak in "The Depsitory" sniper team and then tied up elevator on fifth floor before going to lunch or watched that no one tried to use elevator while on first and second floors during his lunch. That is, if he wasn't standing right outside the front door watching motorcade and being photographed.
There would have been no Vietnam war for the U.S.. See JFKs National Security Action Memorandum 263. This was very likely the biggest reason he was assassinated.
NO! It was Lee Harvey Oswald!! 😂😂😂😂😂 "ME ARSE" 😬
What do you mean they, you mean him, referring to Oswald
Rogue elements of the CIA, payback for Bay of Pigs, plus a couple Mafia hit teams, payback for Bobby's attacks on organized crime. Many shooters, not all took a shot. Dallas police probably involved as well. Altered route, lax building sweeps, totally bogus aftermath. Coup by cabal.
He was smart he knew what was going on
NO he did not know that is why he died /////////////////
Man we need a new jfk, or atleast to live in a country that would allow one and not have him or her killed for doing the right things and standing up against our corrupted as fuck government.
one thing is certain: the man had charisma and was very charming.But - as they say - Death is not seduced by anything, it leads to all, regardless of beauty, wealth or power.
death is seduced by love occasionally
I think JFK was the most intelligent, knowledgeable, worldly, well versed & most hands on & involved president we've ever had. As well as I think one of the most humble & compassionate. JFK was really in a league of his own as far as politicians go & was the most sophisticated, charming & classiest of all our presidents. The US was forever altered after his assassination.
Could the JFK Library put more of the full news conferences online?
The perfect example of how a president in a democracy should respond with respect to journalists, and without questions prepared in advance. An example that must serve forever and for all time.
If you notice, journalists were much more respectful back then.
Its a two way street. your glib one sided perspective is jr high school caliber.
You're both missing something . The first reporter's question was indifferent to maintaining the security of the nation's interests .That would predict the abuse of a free press ,by design, for tipping our hand to real , and potential adversaries.@@FredPena-rd5cf
He was a great man! He would be considered a Republican by today's standards. He was a visionary, compassionate and was wise in consulting Eisenhower in some important decisions. RIP

@@buckeyewill2166 YEP /////////////
Wow... Actual reporters asking intelligent questions... And actual discussion. Focused on actual issues that affect the nation...
And a president who could speak and didn’t start insurrections.
@@tc3383 The government tries really hard to get their wokelets to believe that nonsense
This was a time when both parties represented what the constitution had to say what was paramount to the American system. The death of American democracy is the disillusion of the constitution.
The Constitution of the United States is the ark of freedom's foundation. To keep our American democracy alive, our leaders need to take their oaths and take them very seriously. The people we elect must "Support and defend, bear true faith and allegiance and preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution of the United States, "so help me God." the oath is a promise to God and fellow citizens, that must be kept. This is the only way our Republic can survive.
President Eisenhower did not hold live televised news conferences, so this was the first time many Americans heard a president addressed as "Mr. President". One of the network journalists called attention to this practice after the news conference was over. He contrasted "Mr. President", a relatively humble form of address, with the forms of address for heads of state in other countries, such as "Your Majesty".
Kennedy was the first TV President.

DISTINCTLY
Wow! A real president! Not one word about the size of his inauguration crowd, he is speaking about aid for others in poor countries instead of about himself
A brilliant man who read 1200 words a minute and never signed anything he did not thoroughly understand. He also was a staunch supporter of the constitution and the institution of the supreme court, even when their decisions were not personally desirable. He demanded open and heated debating of all issues in order to properly identify issues and effect solutions. He was a master of the process, and had the talent and intelligence to execute the process. There is no one in the country who is comparable or even remotely close in character and talent. And he was anti-regime change as a national policy. He believed in aid to countries but not fighting their wars for them. He did not deal with ideology or demonizing of opponents. Watch his debates with Nixon. He always was informed of the facts and details.
can you predict the future because it looks like your talking about Trump? He would read every major newsprint first thing after waking up and while having breakfast, then start his day of activities. By the time Biden's cat wakes him up, Kennedy would have already finished reading and getting his important briefings from his advisors. We know now, that Biden doesn't get daily briefings from his advisors, eg. Secretary Austin { MIA from the President for how many days } and we know Biden doesn't read good off of prompters, maybe he should try reading from hand notes like President Kennedy. He might have better luck?
The press do not always ask questions, but appear more interested on giving their view of what foreign policy should be.
Still hard to believe that this great man was assinated in the height of his life and career in politics. He would have been even a greater President and world leader than he was if allowed to stay on this earth. Such a travesty..
Really sad that he died...and bobby too :/

he's is very attractive president
+Carla Moss, yes and very smart also! My mom remembers him and speaks very fondly of this time. He had so much promise and great ideas about how the U.S. should progress, while working with other countries! We lost a great leader when he left us so tragically.
He had a certain charisma which some people have said was akin to a rock star and women loved him and certainly fell for him which, as a compulsive womanizer, he took full advantage of. His was a very fascinating and complex personality formed by a childhood dominated by his older brother Joseph Jr. (whose destiny within the family was to be President until his tragic and reckless death in WWll) whose life path JFK stepped into and his life long health problems. He was a very sickly person his whole life and a few times gravely so. He was probably the most intelligent of all his brothers and sisters and he certainly had a very powerful intellect and a curious and seeking mind but the image we have of him as physically strong and vital was nothing but a mask. He lived with constant pain and the filling out of his face in comparison to his very thin younger years and his apparently tanned complexion were a result of the medication he took for his Addison's disease. He never thought he would live to be an old man. Until his last year or so in office he thought his poor health would catch up to him and keep his life short and in his last year or so he spoke often to a small number of those very close to him of being assassinated.
A very fascinating hisr]=torical figure he was and if you really want to learn about him you'll need to read more than two or three books about him, his family and his era.
Yes, he was.

Examine the current state of the world. 2 Timothy 4:1-5 states "You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. People will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!" Jesus is coming back. Are you ready?

John Kennedy was not a "Democratic" president, he was every bit an American president. Despite later revelations about some sordid elements of his personal life, my respect and affection for him and his presidency has never diminished, even though I began as a Democrat-sympathetic person and moved toward a more conservative, Constitutional voter and adult. If he were to run for office today, he would also be considered a conservative on most issues. And I would be pleased to vote for him again. It was he who sparked my lifelong interest in politics from my age of ten, in 1960.
Anyone know what building this took place in?
