- TAMING A TOUGH CROWD IN THE WORLD AS WE'VE KNOWN IT - April 27, 1961...America's 35th President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, handled the media with confidence and respect during his brief time in office. He dealt with matters seriously but he was not shy about expressing his sense of humor. In a world dominated by print media, his inclusion of radio and television reporters into his news briefings eventually leveled the playing field for those electronic mediums - a fact which he poked fun at newspaper publishers about during these remarks in New York City...

I was only 9 years old when JFK took office. And,I still remember watching his press conferences and laughing. He will always be my favorite President.
it must have been great to be around when he was in office and old enough to have known him.
@@lisabradford8180 Everyone including me remembers that Friday in '63. There was a tremendous sense of loss that swept the nation, for the man as well as for our country. The America we'd known died that day.
This man was the epitome of classic dry wit and humor. He engaged the press with a true passion and sense of class and style.
Those of us that remember this President who invigorated young and old alike were lucky to be old enough to appreciate what was lost that terrible day in Dallas. It was for many of us of a certain age a time of loss of the Nation’s innocence.
Not a perfect man but still a man who inspired so many Americans and men and women around the world.
he was bright, charming, witty, and so missed
🇺🇸
This man was a super star in the 60s very loved by the people. He was the real deal.
@@scottmaas1959 🇺🇸🇺🇸
And smart.
I appreciate the audio quality of this clip.
It will be sixty years this November 22nd that he has been gone. It was a sad day for America and the world.
More style, intelligence and wit than we've seen in any president since. JFK was a man who inspired millions in America and millions more in countries around the world. His death was a terrible tragedy.
When it came to press conferences and speeches…….he was as cool as a breeze.
My favorite President of the United States of America with MAGNETIC PERSONALITY, A FIGHTER WHO STRUGGLE MUCH FOR THE SUCCESS OF LIBERTY, REST IN PEACE MY SALUTE, PRES. JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY, GOD BLESS YOU!
I was sitting in kindergarten class when the teacher ran in crying screaming call your parents the president has just been shot , looking back on film clips and such , I found him very funny and smart . Camelot died when he did
I was in 2nd grade and remember Mrs. Rudeen’s exact words when she told us. I even remember what the sky looked like that day. Camelot?, yes in a sense. But Larry F. O’Brien, JFK’s close advisor said it best, “ if it was Camelot, I never sensed that. What it was was hard work 12-16 hours a day and we were committed to it.” Thank you, R Gomez.
Hey David this is rey thank you for your response , camelot is an expression , after that fateful day the press and people seemed to have lost respect for the president , the flag and such , you did not make fun of the president and congress the way they do now again just my thoughts
I was sitting in our missionary recruitment centre when I heard the news of Kennedy's death --1963 at 19 Highland Road, E 19, London, England.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams..
Thanks SameOld, that is a great quote, one that everyone should live by. Good job.
How can you not love him as your president?
Man, the audio quality of this is so clear, it sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday instead of 60 years ago.
Yes no thanks to youtube .they would have you think quality begins and ends when you pay for a youtude subscription lol. but we wouldn't have this reintroduced into our collective consciousness without it .
This President was fabulous 👌
Intelligent, honest, deep, and humorous speech 🗣
Perhaps the last truly great American President!
the last legitimate one, for sure.
Some men, are just a different breed.
Racist.
Built different.
John F. Kennedy was an excellent political satirist, which made it difficult for the media not to like him.
If he had lived after his time in the White House, he could have been a journalist himself. Or a book- or article-writing satirist with his amazing sense of humor, poking fun at others, and himself, plus serious discussion on the contradictions and hypocrisy he knew all-too-well. He was a once-in-two -generations politician; now a dirty word! He wanted to make the politician into a more respected profession, but it is impossible to put lipstick on a pig, as the saying goes! Pols have to bend their principles (if any to start with) to get votes, which automatically limits their ideology if wanting to be consistent. If he had survived into campaigning for re-election, he wanted to seriously debate the ideas with his good friend: Sen. Barry Goldwater! They were friends, despite the D/R difference label and some policy disagreements. Goldwater despised and distrusted the conniving, dishonest, and lying 36th president, from Texas. The low blows, and lying on Goldwater by the 36th proves Goldwater's disgust and distrust of him. The corrupt, sociopathic, alcoholic, and bi-polar (manic-depressive) 36th was a perfect example of the type that Kennedy wanted to change to a more respected profession, but the 36th (37th, and the others following) all proved how bad the profession really was. Kennedy would not have succeeded in changing the people's view of future pols, only of himself. Pity, he was not given the chance to make a longer time impression than the mere 34 months he had. Remarkable that he did inspire as many as he did in the small amount of time given to him, by the sheer force of his extremely attractive personality, with no political scandals. That could have changed for him, if the press wanted to write (or televise) about his marital affairs and drug use for pain relief on his back or elsewhere.
My favorite pic of him (my avatar of it) shown in full at 2:07 (side view; 2:30 front) , taken from his Feb. 7, 1962 press conference, pointing for another press to ask another question he had so much fun in answering it with the best humor I've ever heard in a president, and that includes the 40th president (1981-89), who did not have the incredible hold on the people quite as much as Kennedy did. RIP to the 35th president, who truly desired peaceful co-existence with the old USSR, and Cuba (after Oct. 28, 1962-Nov. 1963), murdered because he wanted peace, while his enemies wanted war! In Sep. 1963, he proposed a joint U.S.-U.S.S.R. space mission, almost 12 years before the two had their Apollo-Soyuz space mission in July 1975! Kennedy was far ahead of his time, but his life was already unfairly taken away from him
@@freeguy77 well said! I’ve always liked the saying “the biggest mistake Kennedy ever made was letting lbj be Vice President” and it’s true. Screw 36
@@alfredfreedomjones5105 You did not know the blackmailer from Texas did exactly that low action to force Kennedy to make him the VP? Here is the real story from July 1960 in L.A. #35 had already picked Sen. Stuart Symington (D-MO) às his VP! The Texas creep wanted that job, so he could be #36, at the best opportunity to do the coup that was done 3 years later. #36 had his good friend (and neighbor) FBI Director Hoover to show Kennedy the 201 bio file his fellow blackmailing schemer had on the affairs and other sordid stuff the FBI compiled on him. If the VP pick was not the Texan, Hoover would gleefully run that dossier over to Nixon's campaign, and let him do the public revelation of what Kennedy did in his past! Blackmailed! Kennedy had already asked Symington, tough on defense, to be his VP, with the latter already having his acceptance speech written! Kennedy had to switch, else his popularity would have plummeted with the revelations about him made public after Nixon had it. Robert went ballistic on the switch, but the sociopathic, alcoholic schemer had the goods on JFK, so was forced to make the blackmailer his VP. That is the real background why the Texan got to be VP, a crappy job--and he knew it--but had to be taken so he could later plan the coup to become #36. All detailed in Phillip F. Nelson:s blockbuster expose book on the Texas schemer's lifetime urge to become president---at all costs, including another killing job. He hired and paid a long time hitman Malcolm "Mac" Wallace for himself to knock off (7) people who got in his way of his lifetime goal to get to the political top. On Tue Nov. 19, 1963, Kennedy, now safely elected as the president, after asked by his secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, who his VP would be and will it be the same man now? Kennedy told her bluntly, paraphrasing his exact words, but close enough: "No, it will not be Lyndon, I would like to have Gov. Terry Sanford (NC) to be the VP." Lincoln wrote that memorable discussion in her memories for her later book on her 10 years as his secretary, to document Kennedy's plan on who was to be the next VP. No, it was not necessary for the Texan to be VP just for the Southern States. He would have had Stanford, a moderate on civil rights. Lyndon had too many negatives, as the word has gotten more publicity--or about to be in the public, on his corrupt dealings, bribery kickbacks on all defense or other legislation to be passed by Congress if in his controlling past areas of influence. As also with his Pentagon, intelligence, government connections since he was a Representative, Senate, Majority Leader, through his VP years, 1937-63! Money and power was his twin desires, since his poorer growing-up years!
@@freeguy77 goodness yes, I heard rumors that lbj had forced his way into the tickets having knowledge of Kennedy’s affairs. And yes, Bobby did his best to ensure a different VP but the Kennedy boys were not willing to kill, others were. 1963-1968 were some of America’s saddest years, absolute injustice and robbery. Thanks for sharing
After the horror of the last 4 years, how refreshing hearing someone who can think on his feet and exhibit a sense of wit not seen for what seems like eternity...
Thank you, well said, it really hits hard what we lost in November 1963, I am an old man. I remember all to well.
Former Democrat Ronald Reagan was also charming and witty as President, but since he had an "R" at the end of his name, he was not so well received by the press. (Ironically, he embraced the same ideas on economics, taxation, and defense as Kennedy, but those ideas were criticized.)
What was horrific the last 4 years were the imposters who pretended they were journalists. I admired both JFK and DJT...
It would be nice if you could think for yourself for once in your life.
Sounds like something an extremist would say.
When presidents were young in office! They are getting older nowadays.
I'm german and I sadly didn't understand all the words, but I can really say that I love his voice.
He was for the people and even though he was a democrat that cared for the people and to do right for the people he was also to conservative for the democrat party and they hated him for that because JFK would not do their bidding. Today in 2021 you can see what the democrats are doing to destroy anything conservative and the American way of life freedom and prosperity. First thing that Bye den did was sign off all the great executive orders that was making America great President Trump put in place and after all the years of democrat blunders we had a person in the WH for 4 years and that whole time the Democrats tried to Ruin Trump anyway they could. Putting him down around every corner and had the bias main stream media push propaganda that Trump was a racist and the Russian Collusion was a total blunder of LIES by the dems.
Another horrible person is maxine waters a twit that was inciting domestic violence on the streets, btw twice she did this twice and was never held accountable, but if a Republican did that it would be all over the news and the person would have been persecuted for it. Throughout the centuries Democrats have been very forward with their agendas, just look at the bullshit that didn't have to be with the cv-19 lockdowns masks and to have a bozo like Fauci that constantly flipped back and forth on the issues with masks, all about power and the rich and a total control issue to see how far they could go in destroying the economy and destroying businesses.
Florida got sick of it all because it was not a pandemic and banned their masks, After what Cuomo did in NY by killing off thousands of elderly with impaired lung issues and medical issues by placing people that had the flu in rest homes and care facilities. Just like they tried it with the bird flu, N1H1, and other viruses that have come and gone. Seems they want humans to forget that they have an Immune system that provides us with a healthy body fighting off unknown crap, but we also have to work at keeping our immune systems up to par by eating right, not just eat to eat and become unhealthy and obese.
I knew many years ago watching which way the world was turning and dreaded the 90s kids who would never know true history. It's all be a smoke screen now and people have become like sheep. Now today the mandate has been taken off. BTW, the vaccine is not a vaccine and the swabs from what I read contain something on them and if you knew you probably would never had the test done. People have forgot how to research for themselves but that is what Fluoride in drinking water has done to the human brains. You can look at all these things yourselves but why bother when you trust idiots in the WHO and cdc that fabricate and change outcomes to suit their agendas... Why do you think they went after JFK ! .. Just like they tried with President Trump !!!
@@torineg.847 You need a process called, 'defragmentation'.
That is a very mixed up/jumble of truth & lies.
I‘m a german too..You’re right
JFK had a sense of humor
Presidents Kennedy and Obama were the very best at answering questions put forth by the free press. President Clinton was a close third in responding to free press questions!
def
Kennedy was the best at it. No one was more witty. No doubt Obama and Clinton were great.
JFK had the most amazing speaking voice.
Obama never said a single thing that was truly memorable...
@@Larry-vc5qv Donald Trump said hundreds of things that were truly memorable, like when he suggested injecting bleach to cure Covid 19.

A great president, he had good charisma.
He knew he could get more done with honey than with vinegar.
Great video!
No...Actually , he sacrificed his death but didn't compromise on principles..He was the only real US president and the speaker of truth.
I wish we had a gem like Kennedy today. Look at what we have in office right now it’s pathetic.

Hey. Mark this is rey , when I said camelot died that statement was part of my meaning
Love him sooo much 😍😍😍😍😍
All of these were social and breed experiments, ultimately proven to have failed, nevertheless people had been part of it, which makes it tragic!
Very dry and sarcastic sense of humor
What a screaming hoot! A knee slapper! With JFK we all could laugh our troubles away - well, maybe not all - M.M. for instance.
Try comparing trump with JFK.
Or worse, Biden.
Love him or hate him trumps trolling game is A grade.
JFK was murdered by the Deep State and Trump was screwed out of a second term...but both took them on and ultimately lost. JFK wasn't attacked 24/7 like Trump was...in fact no president has had a more hostile press than President Donny.
@@johnnypastrana6727 Trump deserves all the hostility he get’s. That’s what being an ASSHOLE gets you.
@@pewterngold Indeed. You can tell just by a person's demeanor whether or not they have the makings of a leader.
Easy to "bond" when they are prostrate at your feet.
True. No president was as worshipped and protected by the press during their presidential tenure the way Kennedy was. He was the first “Celebrity President”
There was a time when the liberal press respected the office of the presidency and not belittled the man who was elected just because they are politically opposed to him.
There was a time when draft Dodgers and pathological liars and second rate party clowns weren't elected, goes to show how dumbed down half of the voters have become
@@jonathanbelanger6574 there was a time when socialist liars and abortionists were not embraced by the democrat party and instead rejected all notions of communism from our society and people weren’t grossly accused of being draft dodgers and didn’t elect creepy old men who were senile pediphiles
@T L Townes there was a time when we didn’t elect presidents because of their race or gender but on their qualifications. There was a time when we didn’t allow senile old men with a failed 47 year history of doing nothing who uses his political connections with China to sell out the people of the United States to foreign interests and oppress its people through socialism which is a proven failed ideology all around the world. There was a time when we elected pro American presidents who didn’t want to upset the American way of life by raising taxes, taking away our cars, slaughtering g innocent children in the womb and allowing a wholesale invasion by illegal immigrants.
@T L Townes I felt the same way going off on Trump being a so called failed businessman because if he is such a failure why is he a multimllionaire? Oh and no one EVER called him racist until he ran for president. Maybe all thte presidents have been white because they are the only ones who were QUALIFIED to run? Even then, they made a big deal over Kennedy running for President because he was a Catholic. Even MLK's father said he wouldnt vote for JFK simply because of his religion, even after he got his son released from jail. JFK said his religion wasnt relevant, as well as race and gender, which is what MLK JR also said in 1963, except today they hire people based on their race to fill big government affirmative action quotas and that is morally wrong.
@T L Townes The only man who came close to being qualified to be president was General colin powell, but he choose not to run for the office...he would have been far more qualified thn your false god obummer, or the senile old man who just recently stole his way into office. If you think the American people are going to accept Hairplugs socialist oppression, THINK AgAIIN! tHE DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE LOST SEATS AND THE REPUBLICANS WILL MAINTAIN THE SENATE. hAIRPLGUS CANT KEEP AVOIDING THE PRESS and the truth about his corrupt Chineese connectoins will eventually come out as they should have been before the election if the liberal media had been honest. Deep down you know Hairplgugs is a fraud and if the Democratic party keeps pushing socialism they wont even get electedd to dog catcher! but i guess you aint black enough unless you vote for Hairplugs.

He was sick of war and wanted to promote peace. He intended to remove all troops from Vietnam in 1964
what planet are you on? There is no chance he would ever be Republican. By the why, have you notice the first letter in Republican begins with "R", which is next to the letter "S", which is the first letter in Satan. This is no coincedence, as Republicans are evil people, whom Satan loves.

@@gbeau3920 Religion shouldn’t dictate political views/decisions lmao. JFK did a whole speech about it, I recommend listening to it. If that’s your whole argument on why he would be a Republican, you are fundamentally wrong. JFK was a product of his time, truthfully he does not align with either party completely.
