Steven Fagin does a very nice job with these interviews. Great preparation before the interviews provides a great flow to telling the story and asking insightful questions.
Ike was absolutely connected with the Communist Party because "that's called the President of the United States doing his job" as believe it or not the USA and USSR were Allies you dumb fuck!
@@doolittlegeorge Not really! My father shot down a MIG (a Russian fighter jet) in the Korean War. They provided all the air power and they also helped the communist with air power in Vietnam! Please do not forget the Cuban Missile Crisis, when just 13 months before had hundreds of missiles pointed and ready to launch with more coming on ships. It was the height of the Cold War. Cuba still to this day has heavy sanctions on them!
55 years ago Bill Mercer was my instructor in the sports announcing curriculum in the broadcasting school I attended. I learned a lot from him and later did football, basketball and baseball play-by-play for both college and high school using most of what Bill had taught me. I'd guess he was in his 30s then, and probably in his 90s now.
What is so fascinating about these is you are brought back to that time in a very real way with these people who were actually there. Important work. Everything so stylish back then--even the cool hats worn by the cops. I love how this reporter just played it straight--just the facts. I wish we still had that professionalism today. Dan Rather falsely reporting? Impossible!
Why would he buy a rifle through the mail that could be traced immediately? He didn’t he was the Patsy just like he said he was. His mother said that he worked for the Government.
Well, I was in Third grade in TEXAS and I remember vividly the announcement over the intercom. There was no cheering or applauding period. I remember we were SHOCKED and couldn't believe what had happened. Of course we knew little about politics back then but everyone I knew liked JFK and Jacqueline. They let us out of school, but there was no cheering about that. Then a couple of days later we watched Oswald get shot. Once again a young third grader is shocked by events in his world. It was unbelievable, and the main emotion I remember was thinking it was the end of the world. Of course it was, the world as WE knew it. I was also ashamed that these things were happening in my beloved State. So yeah there was no cheering in any class room I am aware of.
Bill was the first radio voice of the Dallas Cowboys. I still remember listening to his call of the game. "And here comes the Cowboys" as they came on the field, always pumped m we up. He called the games by himself. He added a lot of interest..
Well that’s the difference when you have a president who has dementia and you compare him with someone his same age who doesn’t. It’s a world of difference.
You have to keep in mind that the House Select Committee in the late 1970’s determined that there was more than 1 shooter in Dealey Plaza. So if there was 2 or maybe 3 or 4 different people shooting then Lee Oswald probably wasn’t shooting at all. He said he was a Patsy, and it makes sense
I can still remember his voice at the Dallas Sportatorium during the black & white days of wrestling on channel 11. I wrote him when he was announcing Round Rock minor league baseball, goodness I would have loved to have seen & heard one of those games, they suppose to have been an excellent team. A man with a very distinguished voice. Wow, those great days of Fritz Von Eric, the Spoilers & 'Bulldog' Danny Plechas, today I don't know anything about their wrestling, it's not my time.
Very interesting interview and good clips of the packed hallway, incredible to hear and tremendous clear memories. A moment in history that we will never forget.
"Handing out sandwiches" How considerate of Ruby. He actually catered the assassination. geezus, these cops were either complicit or completely incompetent., or both.
Crazy....Bill Mercer is apart of my childhood via the WCCW tv show aired on ESPN...All the stuff I studied about this event and I had no idea Bill was tied to it
I worked for a company around 2000 that was having it's 80th anniversary. My job was to look up any mention of the company in old newspapers, magazines etc. at the library and find any name and address of the kids so they could be invited. I was shocked at how many times I read that little sally, age 11 is going to x address Tuesday at 6 pm for our class. Someone needs to find that old spreadsheet and run it across a missing persons database.
When Bill Mercer and the Dallas cop laugh at the end of the old film clip, if ya read Bills lips it looks like he said: "Knock Knock? (who's there?) "Hutch." (Hutch who?) "GaZoont-hyke!"
Alright, I promised myself I'd stop adding comments, but the story about the kids in school applauding when they heard that JFK had been shot (39:16) I actually recall in my 2nd grade class (Mrs Burckhardt) when the class heard that MLK Jr had been assassinated, one of the kids in class said "my parents said that's the best thing anyone's done for America". I thought that maybe it was RFK's assassination that had occurred, but if I look at the timeline, it was unlikely it was RFK, because that was during the summer vacation. And it was definitely in 2nd grade. I think two other kids in the class were also, let's say, not upset about the assassination of MLK Jr. I was really baffled because why would anyone be happy about anyone getting killed. But political leaders were getting wiped out all over the world, and now it seems horrifyingly obvious, but we were children, what did we know? And as little kids during that insane time period, we were all like "What, me worry?" as Alfred E Neumann was fond of saying on the cover of MAD magazine every month. I never got what that meant until I was in my late 30's. I'm still not sure. Probably just as the kids who are 4 now will always wonder what "Let's go Brandon!" meant....
I keep seeing this "Let's go Brandon" and I don't know the entire story behind it. As far as the kids go, they are influenced by parents and/or other family members.
It was definitely a different time. Crazy to let all those people into the hallway, and walking Oswald right thru the crowd. And absolutely no women there!
@BobH: Yes but no surprise with a program put on by the 6th Floor. Must have missed the backward hit movement and pieces of brain matter and skull being blown backward.
I have watched the Zapruder film many times. If President Kennedy had been shot from the right front (i.e., the grassy knoll), MRS KENNEDY, would also have been hit. One can clearly see that her head was very close, almost in front of his, as she tried to see why he was grasping his neck. Also, look at the people in the background. One person stands out: a little girl who had been running in the plaza behind the motorcaid. Just after the first shot, She suddenly slowed down & looked behind her, as if she had heard something that frightened her. As Zapruder continued to record the motorcade, the little girl went out of the camera's view.
@@karenmainor4275supposedly the bullet that hit Kennedy and Connolly was found on a stretcher in the hospital in very good condition. Where did the bullet that hit Kennedy in the head go? Did they find it in his skull? Seems to me Oswald had two different guns or he had a special gun that fired different bullets. Our government has lied to us our entire lives and never more than today.
How is it that Oswald could be in police custody for a day at least and never be informed that he was under investigation for killing JFK much less having to find out from a news reporter that he was charged in killing JFk??! How is it that he was never allowed legal representation and has to ask for that in a sham of a news conference? How could Ruby just walk into a police building a hour and half after when Oswald's scheduled transfer was to have happened at the exact precise moment to shoot him? Obviously Ruby was informed of when to show up to shoot Oswald. Sorry i trust Oswald more than the Dallas police or the FBI on this whole event!
Oswald is very calm, considering the circumstances. He also seems to have an underlying seething anger and sense of injustice. It is always so ironic when people who reject our country’s principles are the first to scream ‘civil rights’ and that they want representation. (Not that I believe he didn’t deserve representation. He did, like anyone else. It’s just amusing because he would get no such privileges in Russia or Cuba).
"failed at everything he did"?? the guy became a marine then promoted t o became a radar operator at a top secret U2 spy plane base in Japan and learned russian quite fluently - an extremely hard language to learn - all by age of what? 21? how many 21 year olds do you know who t each themselves russian fluently and are radar operators on a top secret air force base overseas?????
Ever hear of collecting, building, and developing the evidence? They had enough on him very quickly to hold and charge him for the Tippit murder, they took their time charging him for Kennedy. If they had rushed it, you guys would all be screaming that they hadn’t even seen all the evidence, how could they charge him? Set up! “Cover up! Conspiracy!”
Common Sense IS sorely,sorely lacking in this interview with this news reporter.Jack Ruby,was involved with organize crime since the age of 17, running" errands" for Al Capone in Chicago,and he definitely,like J.Edgar Hoover,was" affiliated" with organized crime.The more I heard,the organized crime heads state Ruby had No connections to them,the more I realized,Ruby,probably was connected to organized crime!!
Gun powder tests were negative. Palm pr int found on gun only after Oswald was killed and due to a police visit to the morgue where oswalds body was. The fact that Dallas police claimed to have kept no records of their interviews with Oswald due to interrogation room being too small for someone to record those interviews is beyond outrageous and insulting to the intelligence of the public. Is there not one person with the Dallas police with the integrity who was there that day to come forth and tell us what happened during those interrogations?
Yes, he first did a show called "Studio Wrestling" which was before they wrestled at the Sportatorium. Studio Wrestling used to have Fritz Von Eric, Dukiamoko, Jose Lathario, Killer Karl Cox, and other regulars.
Oswald paid for his ticket. He had the money on him. The woman in the ticket booth admitted that he did. And conveniently, the bullets taken from Tippit did not match Oswald's gun. oops. But luckily, Capt Westbrook found a 2nd gun. But then he found the jacket and a 2nd wallet too.
You forgot to invent a reason for them to call the Cops on Oswald since he already bought a ticket. And how could Oswald have the money on him, if he gave his money to the ticket booth attendant? Pretty sloppy Conspiracy theory comment. 😂
@@radar0412 A dozen people called the cops. What was suspicious about him? Why would anyone call the police? Even if he did not pay for the ticket ( which the ticket woman behind the window confirmed that he had bought it) Do you really think in 1963 that Theater managers called the police when customers didn't pay? They made two arrests that day. One in the front of the building, and one in the back. Oswald's gun did not match the bullets in Tippit. Sorry, the conspiracy is not that Oswald shot Tippit. The Conspiracy is that they planted a 2nd wallet, a 2nd gun, and a jacket. ( One that was bought at a very upscale store in Beverly Hills with a dry cleaning ticket from Beverly Hills) You need to do more research on the crime.
@@davidarbuckle7236 You conveniently left out the conversation between the shoe store employee and ticket booth attendant. This tells me I'm dealing with a deceitful person. Also the shell casings found near the Tippit murder scene matched Oswald revolver to the exclusion of all other revolvers on Earth. Which now makes you a Dishonest person. I hereby ban you from the comment section for 5 years. There will be no appeal. My ruling is final. Good day Sir.
@@radar0412 The ticket taker burst into tears when she was questioned about Oswald buying a ticket. Why would she do that? Because she was pressured to do so. And why was that? Because a dozen cops showed up to arrest a delinquent ticket scammer in the theater. LOL. The Hulls matched, but the bullets did not. YOu have been told that over and over.
It's disappointing and off-putting (to say the least) to see clips of a reporter (Mercer) and at least one officer laughing it up at police HQ within hours of the President being gunned down, a local police officer being murdered and the killer of both being a few feet from them in custody. Did Mercer not understand -- even on the day of the assassination -- the horror and nearly unprecedented enormity of the events that were occurring around him? That it was perhaps the single, worst day in American history (at least of the 20th century) and he was reporting right in the middle of it? This video even has a segment of him whining on a hot mic at police HQ on the date of the assassination that he's "starving" and wants a sandwich and, I suppose, we are all to laugh whimsically at this along with a now aged Mercer (who, based on his incongruous laughter while the clips are being played for the audience, seems to have not obtained any further self-awareness of his behavior nor the import of the events of that day). Mercer's behavior in clips of him when he was not reporting live at police HQ on 11/22/63 ring of some local, virtually unknown reporter covering a ribbon cutting ceremony for a small business or something of equal, minor significance. Just callous in every way, both by Mercer and, frankly, the Museum.
I’d say it’s more a function of Mercer, and the officer letting off steam after the shock of the murders, then being stuck in the chaos of the close quarters scrum that was that hallway for hours on end. His wrap up of the day on the 23rd as well as his comments when he did the reports from Dealey Plaza a few days later and his sharing of stories of how the assassination impacted the children of the community indicate he did not take the assassination lightly. The humor was directed at the circumstances of his reporting, the personalities of some of the people involved, the lack of technology of the era in comparison to today, as well as his youth, slight frame etc. It was not toward the events themselves.

Bill had a most pleasant voice as I remember from back in the 60's. He was one of my favorite broadcast personalities.
One of my favorites, of all the interviews on SixthFloor. Thank you Mr. Mercer.

32:52 The Zapruder film did not show conclusively that Kennedy was shot from behind.
Frame 313 clearly does.
The blood/brain spray does.
@@stoobydootoo4098 And the blood/brain spray clearly goes up and forward as seen in frame 313.

Why would he buy a rifle through the mail that could be traced immediately? He didn’t he was the Patsy just like he said he was. His mother said that he worked for the Government.
Enjoyable interview. Good to put a face to the voice that was speaking to Oswald.

And the voice of World Class Championship Wrestling at the Sportatorium
Didn’t rouse any interest in me. Cowboys are shit
I believe he did play by play for the Ice Bowl in Green Bay.
It never ceases to amaze me how lucid
these people are after all this time .
I agree however you just don’t forget moments like those burned in your head and heart forever.
@@katherinechrisman5362 that's a great point . I'm sure it was very traumatic for them .
Well that’s the difference when you have a president who has dementia and you compare him with someone his same age who doesn’t. It’s a world of difference.
Bill is looking and sounding great at his age, he tuned 94 a few weeks ago
This guy is amazing. Sharp as a tack.
First time in history for live live TV and good quality too.
Thanks again for a great interview.

I remember Bill Mercer on tv when I was a kid in Dallas. If not mistaken he MC’d some of the old wrestling matches on Saturdays on channel 4.

Thanks for clearing that up. I left the area before all the broadcast companies changed their channel numbers.
Sure did!
"Handing out sandwiches" How considerate of Ruby. He actually catered the assassination. geezus, these cops were either complicit or completely incompetent., or both.
Thank you from Quebec

He's about believable now
Are you serious? You really didn’t know??? Fuck people are getting more and more retarded.
11:53 The way they used to give everyone's address on TV, Radio and in Newspapers back then seems odd today.
Lady Bird would often go out to the pastor and suck off the bulls. Then come back in and kiss LBJ.

enjoyed Bill with World Class wrestling. Seems like a great down to earth guy and turns 96 today
Funny how they wanted to transport Oswald for his safety. Yet, gave the time, date and location of his moving
Good program
Love these stories, I was born in 1963, love watching JFK.
Bill Mercer I liked him when he was an announcer for World Class Championship Wrestling.

Bob Hawxwell
- Yeah, thanks what he said. He said it because that's what happened.
I know. Where the H did he come up with that?
@Std Disclaimer
Some people just don’t want to believe that a Commie, alone, killed JFK.
@Std Disclaimer
Oswald was a communist that moved to a communist country (USSR) and married a communist woman. He also loved communist Cuba. WTFU!
32:58, um not really , not sure how a shot from the top and behind can come out side front top of head
For him to say the Zapruder film confirmed Kennedy was shot only from the back is ludicrous.
More amazing is he's not even questioned by that 'host'
I have watched the Zapruder film many times. If President Kennedy had been shot from the right front (i.e., the grassy knoll), MRS KENNEDY, would also have been hit.
