He was just 45 here. Vital. Intelligent. Balanced. Knowledgeable. Articulate. Great wit. No measure to the loss of this man. Murder most foul.

As a Republican, I humbly admit; This is what leadership looks like.

You can tell by his eye movement he is accessing knowledge, memory. He’s not bullshitting. He’s not selling anything. He even admits sometimes he’s wrong.

“If you take the wrong coarse in some cases I have” admitting your wrong sometimes is sign of a great man

"The press should not do their work for any political motivation" YAH HEAR THAT MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and FOX NEWS?!

Sad to hear him talk about his second term.

This is the first substantive interview that I've seen with President Kennedy. I'm struck by how intelligent, well-informed, and articulate he is. I don't get the impression that he's mouthing "partisan talking points", as presidents and other politicians of both parties do today. Kudos to the professionalism of the three reporters who asked probing questions without any indication that they were playing a game of "gotcha."

Many men in power envied him. What a shame that we lost him far too soon. Such wisdom. War hero. Careful. Measured. I couldn’t stop listening to this…

Very intelligent, very articulate man. What a shame we lost him so soon.

Terrible tragedy that this man was assasinated. Terrible.

What a wonderful smile he had

He was the apex and no one can come close. He was light years ahead of everyone. Central casting. An immeasurable loss the repercussions of which are felt through to the present.

Even today he is ahead of any politician, government or world leader. Period.

President Kennedy the last american statesman of modern history. The son of peace, gone too soon.

He spoke the English language with articulation, enunciation, and pronunciation in such a way that is seldom seen in today’s elected officials. He was a man who carried so much weight of responsibility on his shoulders and yet received little or nothing in the way of support in return. He was driven by noble and sincere motives, but yet, his life was taken before his labor was finished. No matter what you thought of him or his family, he had a good deal to offer his country and the rest of the free world with his his youthfulness, his calm, cool collectiveness, vast knowledge, dedication, and courageous leadership.

The guy is brilliant, so Presidential, and so intelligent! The greatest President we ever had!

I don’t know if a President ever had more understanding and respect for our constitution and separation of powers than Kennedy.

What a warm and bright President. I’m not a US citizen but I admit that his responds were incisive and intelligent. He was like a spokesperson of the US Constitution itself.

He was a born leader may he rest in peace forever in the arms of Jesus

John F. Kennedy so embodied the image and persona of the modern presidency, it is very easy to imagine him holding office in the present day. He is arguably one of the most articulate and intellectually astute Presidents of the 20th century and perhaps the greatest orator of any President within that same time period.

Here was a truly great mind at work. Brilliant, especially when compared to politicians today.

Why can't we have leaders this brilliant and well versed like this man was, today ?? WHY ?????

I was eight when I sat on my Dad's shoulders and waved to him as he went by in a motorcade in Detroit in '62. So many US middle class WWII vets saw him as their hero. They (those of my Dad's generation) identified with him and had a faith in him that I never saw again in any President afterward, Democrat or Republican. Take the time and watch his Inaugural Address and other speeches and compare them to subsequent Presidents. They don't have the same affect.

When I watch these I comfort myself by telling myself he is alive for a time.

Smiling and happy and yet was suffering horrible back pain at same time. What a trooper.

A truly inspiring President. His grace, intelligence, and measured communication style are the gold standard for all Presidents. If only....

What a smart and articulate man President Kennedy was. I admire him.

Wow can we have a President like this again? Intelligent, young, so many great qualities! Can we have journalists and media like this again? Very respectful of the man and the office that he holds. Our society has really gone downhill since this gentleman was in the White House.

He was so handsome. I would have love to have met him. He was such an amazing man and one of the best Presidents.

JFK was a brilliant and thoughtful man. He was a man of vision, as was RFK and MLK. How far we have fallen. Very sad.

He's genuinely determined to make the People and the country great. What a wonderful smile he has, his sincerity is apparent by the sparkle in his eyes when he speaks. Love this ❤️President❤️ the most, hands down.

Should be on Mount Rushmore. Absolute legend. A legacy that will live forever!

Must have qualities in a president (candidates and voters take notes): 1. Depth of Knowledge on the issues 2. Demonstrated wisdom 3. Thorough understanding of how government works 4. Awareness and Acknowledgement of his own limitations and the limitations of the office 5. Candor 6. Ability to communicate intelligently, respectfully, and effectively

Dam he's smart and knows his history and the facts

Coolest Man on the Planet..❤🙏🎬 He's saving the World with a broken Back.

Being 29 yrs old right now and hearing a Kennedy speak is bonkers. Most of everyone in presidency always dodge questions or say so much without actually answering the questions, then you have Mr. Kennedy over here being a normal intelligent human being

THIS is what a President of America should sound like! ...Meaning the wisdom and thoughts of a Leader of the free world speaking for the People.

He was very aware of power and its limitations. He gave great thought to every issue. He read several books a week despite the demands of his job.

Why can't we find leaders like this today? He always had a great way of expressing himself. Listen to how these reporters address him. Nothing but respect and admiration.

Such a brilliant man. Sorely missed. Amazing man.

THIS is the DIGNIFIED way a U.S. President SHOULD act. Period !

I could listen to him all day. What a sharp mind he had. Where have all the great minds gone? Haven't seen the likes of him in my lifetime.

His back is hurting but he controls it well. His speeches are wonderful.

One of my former co-workers met him in the senate and said he was stunningly handsome in person and the room would stop when he would enter, years before he was elected. He had a certain magic.

A great President who led the country with confidence and strength; a wonderful time to be an American under his leadership

Such a shame JFK and RFK killed so young, both would have left even greater legacies than they have

he's so articulate and compassionate 😇 if only, if only😔

An astounding interview. He's quite an intellectual and holds his own on just about everything.

What a good, clear, intelligent speaker.

Great interview. I miss this kind of intelligence and clarity in present politics.

He had a well-developed sense of humor in addition to being intellectual, knowledgable, patriotic, and so easy on the eyes.

What more can one say .The guy had it all...RIP Great Man.

He had strong grasp and insight into the many many issues of the day! He dealt with every issue: from poverty to racism at home and world peace abroad! Intelligence, charisma and good looks! Of course, those are just the icing! But the greatest of all are his sincerity, seriousness and sense of duty to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States! He kept his solemn oath! And for these he paid a heavy price! JFK, thanks for serving Americans! We miss you, RIP!

Speaking as a Brit who was only 3 when he was murdered, it is my greatest regret that this great man was not allowed to carry on and complete two terms - I believe the world would have been a much better place had he survived. I care not one jot about the vagaries of his personal life - he was a great, clever, compassionate man who really tried to do things differently and for the better. He was a massive loss. This interview shows it, those films where we see his clever humour show it, his great speeches (I am thinking in particular of the American University speech) show it. It's a great pity we have no one like this now enobling the profession of politics.

So well spoken, poised & intelligent... What a loss 😔 Bless him 🙏

Watch and share to our talented youth, all the time. Great man, enduring values, from whom all of us our indebted.

I'm a member of the swedish green party and in preparation for the start of the election campaigning I watched most of his speeches for inspiration. He is truly one of the greatest politicians the modern world has ever seen.

He came to a tobacco company warehouse in Kinston, N. C. In the early 60's. He and his campaign staff watched the tobacco being auctioned. My mom and her Democrat friends drive over with me to show our support. Well the Kennedy's were delighted. Infact, John F. touch the campaign hat I was wearing. He had charisma and a beautiful smile. Yes we adored him. True story and another true story.

Thank you for eloquence and Intelligece of President Kennedy's video post to us❤

Such a clear and crisp piece of history filmed to live on forever.

THIS MAN WAS BLESSED WITH A FACE/ATTITUDE and UNIQUENESS that I have NEVER EVER SEEN in another Human being!!! (HE WAS SO SO UNIQUE) HE's EYES is Mesmerizing!!! I'm not sure If Anyone else gets the same feelings?

His intelligence and in depth knowledge about everything he is talking about is very noticeable. Really passionate about everything he is saying.

Such deep intelligence, grasp, and understanding of his job. The world would have been so different and better had he lived. All we have had since is governance by rubbish and madmen around the world. 😢

Breaks my heart when he brings up a second term. How could the Secret Service screw up so badly on November 22, 1963!

I just love his New England accent, it's so sharp. He knows what he's talking about and he knows how to deal with problems. Even though I'm from the South, I don't think you need to be anywhere in the US to just love him. No matter where your from, you can just see that he would've been a GREAT president had he served his second term. And probably wouldn't of let hundreds of thousands of Americans die in Vietnam.

Will always love this man - not a week goes by I do not think of him - What we as a people lost when he died; still sad to even think about. Though I feel Jack Kennedy would hate being morned 50 years later, and say - get your shit together America! move forward, that's the legacy I want.

What a loss to the world, his intellect ,engaging decisive answers , he made sure he was well informed on all levels. Rest well Mr president this world is indeed a lesser place. Its does one good to look back and remember good people do exist..

I see him and weep at what might have been. His intellect, charm, wit and incisive slant on politics, international affairs and presidential prerogative...his grace, humility, irony, poetry and Irish grit...never known before or after. My father attended Harvard and Harvard Law School at the same time Joe and Jack did. They all started in the Jeffries Point section of Boston, the Irish and Italians, both scrabbling to participate in the American dream. My Dad's law office was in the old Columbia Trust on Meridian Street where Joe Sr launched the financial empire and political dynasty. Dad served the parallel district in the state legislature as did Jack at the congressional level. This generation poured out of WWII directly into the city halls, state legislatures and the nation's capitol as a natural extension of their quiet heroism and noblesse oblige. Bush Sr was the last president to serve. To think: that beautiful mind was silenced by a couple of bullets loaded into the gun of a silly little wannabe- somebody, prompted or not by a ruthless, reactionary, narcissistic cabal of do-badders. Our generation was lucky to have him and unlucky to lose him. I knew the excellent journalist Sander Vanocur as well...to see him too...that is a bygone era the likes of which we ll never see again. Perhaps few remember: the last words of his inaugural address weren't the "Ask not what your country can do for you etc...." but instead, paraphrased somewhat, "let us remember that on earth God's work must truly be our own."

Now I know why he is still popular. Handsome smart man. I am in love with his voice)

I simply adore watching him digest a question and in perfect timing give the perfect answer. That's honesty people. The good and the bad and the charm.

I am old enough to remember this. He was always straight forward & eloquint. I am saying this for all of the people who watch this and are surprised. He was honest. His well spoken manner made his message easy for people to digest.

Thoughtful, authentic and practical. An idealist wout illusions. This country suffered a severe setback on 11/22. Impressive man. He makes today’s politicians look like rank amateurs.

Kennedy was the best president and also the best looking

My God, such clarity of thought.

So I'm not a Democrat, but I've always been fascinated by this President. He really was intelligent and did care and studied hard. People that are sad about the Presidency now need to realize that JFK was TAUGHT to LOVE AMERICA and be PROUD of being American. His parents taught him to study current events every day. The generations after me (I'm from Gen X) have been taught to hate America in many respects which is a TRAGEDY. I was NOT taught this, and I'm GRATEFUL. How can our country PROSPER if the youth is taught to NOT be proud of the USA? I feel like losing RESPECT has hurt our nation. Kids need to be proud of the USA! No the USA is not perfect, but it cannot BE perfect because MEN are NOT PERFECT. I pray the youth will be proud of the USA again! And I'm very sad that JFK was taken from the nation and his family. That was PURE EVIL. There can be great leaders, but we need to change how the younger generations are feeling about the USA. Take care and Best wishes to everyone!

I'm learning sooo much, even at 74. Thank you...

We will never recover from the loss of this Great Man...sad.

God Bless this great man

The respect for the office and the man was so apparent. We are lost today

Handsome man, wisdom words, just enjoy the speech so much

He was way ahead of the game 50+ years! He understood the way the world worked and how to deal with global machinations!

I am a republican so I cannot say that I agree with all of the positions that President Kennedy took on various programs that were discussed or implemented in the 60's, however, with that being put aside for a moment, I have to say that I find the honesty and straight talk and openess or this great man to be extrememly refreshing, especially in this day and age. No teleprompters, no "talking points", no crib notes...just a very well eduacted and well spoken man who understands the issues and can speak directly off the cuff with conviction and facts in a convincing mannner. I doubt we will ever see this kind of President again. Government has gotten too big and too complex for one man to even understand it anymore at the level that this man personally understood the issues.

This man was as sharp as a tack in regard to the issues of the day. His loss was immeasurable.

I was 5 years old when he was killed. My only memory is seeing how sad my mother was, and her making me watch the funeral. I was too young to understand what a loss it was for this country . Thank goodness there are many tapes like this to show what a speaker and intellect he really was.

This is a real President. His clarity, honesty, and candid responses are engaging. His knowledge of the job is amazing. No dodging or hedging.

What an incredibly articulate and intelligent man. Any previous books read or interviews listened to he never wavers. Happy to admit where he made the wrong judgment call on decisions, highlights the true difficulties of office & has a very clear strategy on the future. If one compares this interview with the current (or last) president ..............phew - something is really really really out of kilter.

I remember so well that tragic day, and the days that followed (yes, I'm that old), and every time I see pictures or videos of him I am saddened--we lost so much on that November day.

His thoughts still relevant today. He has left his mark in history.

This video is probably the best example of JFK and how he could articulate himself better than any other ,the man had the gift of speech which wasn't soundbite ,he spoke from knowledge and expierence and a man who in the main did his homework and knew his tuff .Thank you for uploading .

I liked the way he described the legislative process, the movement of a bill from sub committee to Ways and Means committee to Rules committee to full vote in the House and then on to the Senate where there can be endless debate(i.e. filibusters) etc. His mind was so sharp and his responses so crisp and to the point. I only wish the full interview was available.

He was so bright and spoke eloquently. Despite his flaws he was a great man.

Brilliant, sharp mind, self deprecating, etc. President John F.Kennedy🇺🇸🇮🇪❤️

he's so focused and very well spoken. it brings tears to my eyes to wonder what the world be like today if he didn't die. why? that poor family has given more sacrifice for this country it's sad. they are true patriots and so much for the people.

I could listen to this man all day everyday

Yes after 2 years it, was a good interview. What a tragedy that he didn't have 2 more.

All of this applies now! My brother was TIMELESS! His spirit stays with me constantly!

Impressive guy.

You can see and feel how heavily his responsibilities weigh on him. It's palpable, physical.

Immensely inspiring, self deprecating, awesome dude. 😊

Born 20 years after he was assassinated, and he means more to me the older I get. I think about President Kennedy every day. Imagine what he could do now. Imagine what he would’ve done with 8 years. Look at how easily he draws on history and political knowledge. Look at how honestly and clearly he speaks. It’s impossibly to quantify what we lost when JFK was killed. He had shortcomings and flaws, but the dignity, intellect, and larger ideals made Kennedy a remarkable leader pushing for a better, more just world.
