- President Kennedy begins the press conference with a statement concerning the scheduling of the Geneva negotiations for a nuclear test ban.
He then announces that the United States Government has decided to increase famine relief for the Congo and that the Soviet Union has released two members from the crew of the United States Air Force RB-47 aircraft.
Following the announcements the President answers questions from the press on a variety of topics including United States policy on nuclear disarmament negotiations, diplomatic relations with Cuba, and communications with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

A true leader of the free world. The USA with Kennedy was a beacon of hope.
until boomers ruined it.
Thank you for saying that. So true!
Why do you think that is so?@@lucidhurricane

What a huge difference in the manner and attitude of President Kennedy compared to what is in the white house now !
This president listened attentively to the questions and responded to them with civility, poise, courtesy, clarity,
Intelligence and with class ! It's hard to believe that we've gone from that to this !
I know John Linden because Biden is so indecent He s no president
Also a refreshing difference in the manner and conduct of the press who acted like professional journalists.
What we lost is beyond measure. A murder most foul.
Him and his brother Robert as well. They truly took a bright American future from us.
Murders...

Yup.
The way peoples talk in those times very clear, definitive and substantial. I like the tone of their voice.
We need him now more than ever if only he could return.
Please return quickly smh 😪 👽
This was his FIRST press conference as president? He completely rocked it 👍🏻
First TELEVISED.
The definition of a patriot! 🤓
We we're lucky to have him even if only for a moment.....
How True..God Bless You for saying that. I needed to hear it.
@@williamlentz9078 Ggg
Yes and Trump is finishing what JFK started but people can’t see that because they have been programmed/brainwashed by the propaganda Mainstream Media. CIA set up operation mockingbird to stop the truth coming out about JFK ‘s death. That ain’t Biden you are looking at. Biden’s Obamas Clinton’s and Bush’s have all been taken out. What’s going on behind the scenes is Biblical
And we can remember what can happen to patriots even back then when you disagree with or go against certain factions in government. All citizens should understand or be aware of that reality
One man who fully deserves the title of MR. PRESIDENT. ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸
One, of several

@@BradWatsonMiami that’s a load of Bull shit lol.
This really makes us realize how a President should act, and how informed he should be on issues. The best thing about Kennedy was his non-partisanship. He spoke to, and acted on the merits of the issue, not the thing that would help his party or his reputation. I miss him.
Don't we all ?
@@williamlentz9078 unfortunately not. If JFK saw the current Democrat party's direction, he would be infuriated by their pro-war, anti-free speech, anti-patriotic, pro open borders, CRT nonsense, and the MSNBC crowd would despise his moderation and pro business sway.

President John F. Kennedy was so brilliant, eloquent, articulate, aware informed and knowledgeable; that at all his press conferences; he became the reservoir of information, beacon of hope, the lifeline / brightness to darkness / ignorance and more importantly he became a Lecturer of Journalism / a Professor of Mass Communication. He was a great President, an inspirational Leader, a good Catholic / Christian and a knowledgeable Teacher that even lived in America and on planet earth.
He was THE person for the times .
Even in death he leads us to peace.
He's so missed.
A real president. We have not had many since. God bless John F. Kennedy.
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.
A superb , bright and very sincere man. God be with you Mr.Kennedy whereever you are.
Now THIS is what a REAL President looks like...the World still mourns his loss... A very brilliant beautiful soul. Thank you and may God bless you forever Mr President!! 💔
My favorite quote of his. “Do not pray for easy lives my friends, pray to be stronger men.” He’s the best speaking president we ever had.

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.
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.

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.
JFK never pointed the finger he took full responsibility. This is the most appreciated and celebrated president in the world even today.
2020, historian still listening.
I'll never forget, I was in the 6th grade when the announcement came over the PA system, JFK was shot in Dallas. I lived it. JFK was a womanizer, an affair with Marylyn Monroe, and others all set up by his close friend Frank Sinatra. He partied with the wrong crowd, The famous "Rat Pack" famous for his "Ask Not" speech on inauguration day that's about it. I tell people today regarding the Democrat party, "This is not your grandparents Democrats" Who killed JFK? www.npr.org/2011/01/18/133018777/jfks-inaugural-speech-still-inspires-50-years-later

@@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.
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…
Mr. Kennedy was a man who stepped up to the plate. Courteous in manner, dry in humor, alacritive in answering, in private pain constantly. He was what they used to call "a man's man."
Like Sean Connery, Im a man's man🤣🤣🤣🤣
You ain't kidding.
Tapped Marilyn too. And others.

@@TheBatugan77 Kennedy had some kind of hormonal thing going on. But I think he kept America to his heart. I really don't think he would have sold out.
David Brown See operation," Northwoods" wherein the CIA/Pentagon wanted President Kennedy to" authorize" U.S.planes to be painted with Cuban military insignias and then attack U.S. civilian areas,and then claim,Cuba attacked the U.S. This would have given the U.S. the reason to invade Cuba,because of" this contrived attack on Americans in U.S. Kennedy refused to authorize " Northwoods" as he stated he did Not want American lives to be taken.President Kennedy was a" Real President,and behaved as such!" Nancy,Missouri.
@@nancysanders2398 Thanks. I know about it. Kennedy ran headlong into the very thing Eisenhower warned about. Tried to stop it. Killed.
He was beautiful, charismatic and intelligent
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
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.
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.
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
I don't care about what JFK did in private.
Everyone has a habit that other people may look at as strange.
As far as him trying to help all nations he was a decent human being & God bless his soul.
We are on the course to disaster after he died
He was smart he knew what was going on
NO he did not know that is why he died /////////////////
Who is watching this in 2020?
Could the JFK Library put more of the full news conferences online?
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!
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.
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
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."
The press do not always ask questions, but appear more interested on giving their view of what foreign policy should be.
I remember watching these press conferences. I was 11 in 1961.
ME TOO...
DISTINCTLY
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
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
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?
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.
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.

I watch him every day. I feel and think he's very good ❤
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.
He "Was" not "is"
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.
Check LBJ's interview with Walter Cronkite after LBJ left office .Makes you wonder,doesn't it ?We'll never know.
Thanks,Mr.Biggs.

Wow, much better than responding with “fake news.” Lol 😂
There was plenty of yellow journalism back then
@David Osterberg There was more fake news back then than in todays time. Do i have to remind you of how many stories the US made up to get into WW1?
This was when a press conference was a pleasant discussion between our leader and the news reporters, not a verbal brawl. It was when the only people you would expect to be rude with one another in a political talk, would be two rowdies at a bar, but not in the State Department auditorium ( that's where Kennedy had his conferences with the press) where the President and the press would interface. Indeed, the Kennedy press conferences were an interface of grace under pressure. A wonderful documentary on these press conferences was made in 1983, hosted by old time actor, EG Marshall ( he was Joe Kennedy sr. in Kennedy with Martin Sheen). We are with him in the very auditorium and he is telling us the story of Kennedy's relation with the press. It is titled, "Thank you, Mr. President." this was what Meriman Smith, Head reporter, would say to end the event, then that was it, no babbling of questions either respectful quiet or even applause. It's on youtube, give it watch.
The media is fake now, it's all owned by a few groups that push ideas

He’d probably be asleep the first 5 minutes 😂😂😂😂
Hell no!!
شكرا
Only if we could have him back now in 2021
Well we all have been graced with one last chance in 2024 to get it right if we have enough sense as voters to elect RFK Jr in 2024..👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you very much
intelligent, cogent, articulate replies to every question--Reagan and JFK were the best doing press briefings
reagan did nothing but lie and allow murderous ops in his name - and he was an f ing idiot
So fun to watch!
Michael Smith, thank you. One Love.
blasphemy to compare Reagan to JFK - no comparison at all -
And Nixon
Will the United States ever get such a president again?
No, not the United States. But the country that will follow it.
Great Presidents are a thing of the past, Rip!!!
Anyone know what building this took place in?
President Kennedy our awesome friend 🇺🇸 🇮🇪 😎 💘
Oh how much he could have changed our country. Miss JFK still
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.
What was the last question and the meaning behind it?
The best!!!! Well loved and never be forgotten..
What was the venue for this press conference?
Auditorium of the Old Executive Office Building, next door to the White House's West Wing
I am mistaken (see below). It was in the State Dept auditorium
We need like him .
My how low the office of President has sunk since then!
The most handsome president ever.
No contest!
@@jellybean42 I know 💕
He was apparently a very sick person with back problems and Parkinson's disease.
@@generalfred9426 he didnot have Parkinson’s
JFK Library, please, add to this video's description a statement of where this press conference took place.
Auditorium of the Old Executive Office Building , next door to the White House's West Wing
@@timdeerr3889 , wow; thank you. How did you know? It occurs to me that one might find out by looking up the diary of the president's activities on that date.
@@smadaf I am sorry to have misled you...I was apparently mistaken. My further research indicates that it was actually in the State Department auditorium.
@@timdeerr3889, thank you. If only certain people in public office and everyday life were as willing as you are to double-check matters of fact, to acknowledge errors, to apologize for them, and to correct them! And if only I had bothered the simplest Google search, where I would have found this as the second result: www.jfklibrary.org/archives/other-resources/john-f-kennedy-press-conferences/news-conference-1. And if only the JFK Library would put the information in the video description.
I watch this video daily. And ❤️ admire his ability to reach out competently. ❤.Thanks for everything 🙏 ❤️ 💕 you have accomplished successfully.
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
Seems the media ask intelligent questions and had respect for the president at that time
