November 22, 1963 - President John F. Kennedy's at the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce breakfast

- Shortly after 9:00, President John F. Kennedy and entourage made their way through the kitchen adjoining the second floor Grand Ballroom. The event was attended by over 2,000 guests. Politicians and their wives, including Governor John Connally, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Senator Ralph Yarborough, and Chamber of Commerce President Raymond Buck, took positions at tables on the dais. President Kennedy entered the room amid a standing ovation. Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, summoned unexpectedly by the President, arrived 10 minutes later dressed in a pink wool suit with pill box hat. The President took the podium and delivered remarks emphasizing the importance of national defense - a subject popular with the crowd, many with ties to Fort Worth’s General Dynamics and other North Texas defense projects. The President and First Lady were presented with Justin western boots and a Peters Brothers western hat which the President declined to model. Kennedy refused to wear the gift hat offered him by Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce president Raymond Buck: "I'll put it on for you at the White House on Monday." He asked Buck instead to put it on. Breakfast concluded at 10:30, and the First Couple then rested briefly in their suite before heading to Dallas.
Still breaks my heart to know that these are his last few hours in the world.
Yes, if only we could go back in time and be at this event. And tell him, "Mr. President, please don't get on that plane. And if you must, please don't get into that car once you land."
He really was something else. What a sad sad day for Humanity. RIP JFK 🇮🇪
How very sad that this is the last speech he will ever make. What a great loss to the world.
And M.L.K.
JFK & his brother Bobby brought the calamity upon themselves. You really need to read up on their atrocious conduct as President & AG. They were totally out of their depths and both lacked the dignity necessary to occupy their respective positions. You ever wonder why 2 brothers in very powerful positions were assassinated within 5 years of one another? Who did they offend and what was that offense? Research, read, & learn.
We loved JFK very Much!
@Phantom X... Oh yeah he was definitely "something else" alright, but NOT in a good way!
While President, Kennedy had sex with dozens of women, including strangers whom aides would procure for him. His biographer, Geoffrey Perret, wrote that JFK “brazenly put his hand up their skirts, propositioned them within minutes of meeting and groped their breasts and buttocks even as he danced with them.”
All those actions while being married to Jackie. Disgraceful!
Unless you live through a day like 11/22, you have no idea of the total sense of despair that swept across America. All people of every political parties were devastated. As an old man, I see how now as a young men, he had so much to contribute.
9/11 was imo the Kennedy assassination of my generation. A where were you moment. My dad lived in Fort Worth when this happened and said it was surreal.
@@shayhicks7682 a
what you describe, I believe, was THE major contributing factor to the (early) success of the Beatles - Beatlesmania, February 1964.
911 I remember. JFK i was 1 year old. Great man, tragic
I turned 5, just twelve days before this party.
I was eight years old, and they sent us home from school. My mother was on the phone with my grandmother, I could hear my grandma crying over the phone. The country was united as one...what a different country it was...
Grace, humor, intelligence, and a humanity that we so lack today in our public discourse. He was a flawed man, as we are all flawed, but he was unquestionably one of the greatest orators we have ever had as President. He assumed our intelligence and decency. It is heartbreaking to know, after all the kind jokes about "protecting" him from the rain and rattlesnakes, what his fate would be just a short time after this. It is, as he once said about life, "unfair."
Read President Lincoln's speeches. Gettysburg address can bring you to tears and you have to remember he had no Harvard education just pretty much self taught.
If you want to see the best oration of any President in U.S. history then you should watch President Trump's 2020 State of the Union speech. It's on RUclips of course.
@@salvation4all313 why bring him up???...what did he do???....can't hold a Bible right why are you even mentioning this person???
Your comments echo the grace, intelligence, and humanity of President Kennedy. Thank you for your eloquence.
@@mr.robertvergara7972 Thank you so much, sir. Deeply appreciative of your comment.
A beautiful day that turned into a nightmare. I was 10 years old, and I still remember it like it was yesterday. First time I have seen this footage. Thank you.
I was 6 living in Dallas. No one was outside in the neighborhood, no one. Family crying inside.
🇺🇸😔🥲
I was ten years old too when this happen it's still painful to think about it
I Was 12 in 7th grade,learned when principal announced over intercom@ 3:00 pm final bell,got on bus everyone talking about it Mom had TV on when I got home,She was crying!,We watched&cried 3 days!. LBJ Had it done!!.
I was 9 years old.
This is heart wrenching to watch. To think that in less than 3 hours he would belong to the ages.
Agree 100% Worst Day of our lives. Evil, took over. Conspiracy well planned with cooperation of the CIA, THE MOB, G.W. Bush, EVERYBODY who was SOMEDODY, I Think....
The worst tragedy in American history. The youngest president so talented, charismatic and good looking. Dallas is the richest and powerful states. Iam happy that you're family are from Ireland.
To think one of the greatest President's ever only was in office a bit under 3 years not even a full term... historic...
He was literally the last hope in helping America be America.
He wanted to take apart the mafia and the banks and the government agencies that were tyrannical towards the people like they are today.
If he had lived through everything and it had gone accordingly, then if his brother won, we would have a lot different of America today that would be much better...
He was a true hero God bless his soul
What's heart wrenching for me is listening to those empty prayers and gifts of protection... Sorta like they knew what was up....
This day literally shook our country to its core. It still haunts and always will and started a downward spiral we never recovered from
It set off a chain reaction of chaos. I was 10 in 1968. The whole 60s seemed harsh and mean-spirited, at least in the South. Music, fashion, and fads were the welcome diversions and some consolation.
his death (the others - mlk, rfk etc.) set in concrete the system which is impossible to change therefore bring fundamental change for the general population
@@chnorwood3365 Yes it did. It was their intent to set off a chain reaction of chaos so everyone would be distracted to investigate the assassination and who murdered the president. The only ones that weren't distracted were Mark Lane, Dorothy Kilgallen, Jim Garrison. Jim Garrison got the closest to finding out who killed Kennedy. They destroyed him to teach a lesson to others not to investigate the assassination
@@sodapop83 True. That's why those leaders were killed: so nothing would change
@r april It shook the world.
Jackie had been through the loss of her infant son, then 3 months later she witnessed her husband's assassination. Privately, she may have cried but to the public she was of a strong faith and courage. She took great care of her children. ❤
Yes, stunning - and her nose was 3-inches from the bullet that hit JFK's head ... whew!
Life is ironic , by 1:30 Dallas time , Lady Bird would be First Lady of The U.S. .
She saw a priest on her depression and admitted she wanted to commit suicide. The only thing that saved her was the realization she had two small children who needed her. Except for that strong feeling of being needed, she might have done away with herself. She only married Onassis because of security concerns, not for money although she knew that would also be given. But security was of first importance after suffering one of the worst ways imaginable to lose her marriage. From a vicious coup d'etat and the war hawks, who have stayed in power since, with one exception: DJT. Which is why he also was so violently and hatefully detested by the war hawk establishment in the District of Criminals/Corruption. They demand and desire war at all costs, while JFK and DJT were the best anti-war presidents, and had the best economies in their times!
@@freeguy77 Absolutely. But the gatekeepers of info hold the American people hostage and only let t h em assume negative destructive lies about DJT. Meanwhile, they engage in theft of the most destructive kind.😢
@@37center You exaggerate how close she was. The bullet entered on his right temple just above the eye, far more than 3-inches from her. Almost 2-feet, with her on his left side, and the shot on his right side.
His last breakfast.the last time a choir singing for him . last speach.the last time he praised his wife n joked about no one noticed what Lyndon n I wear.
Last time a drop of water touched his lips. 😔
Jfk was hilarious when he said that
To all the girls i love before🤣🤣🤣
This was the saddest day, only surpassed by 9-11. He and Jackie had not been close in previous months, and the President was surprised and delighted when she asked him if she could travel to Texas that day. those around them remarked about their warm interactions on that trip, a welcome and sweet return to being close. Then a short time later....BANG BANG BANG!
@@oldschoolmuscle4436 z
Such adoration & admiration from the crowd as the President strides in. That's gotta feel nice.
I think it was a polite response, but not overly enthusiastic... I don't think he was overly popular with that crowd...
I think it was also the era. An era when you respected the occupant of the office, whether you voted for him or not, regardless of political party. Those in that room were merely showing respect for the American President.
Those types of responses were just customary for a sitting President at the time. Even if you hated the man you showed the office of the President some respect. Those days are long gone.
They hated him in Texas. The hat presented to JFK was a subliminal message to the fact of "local enemies..LBJ" and I'd be surprised if it wasn't meant to be the snipers aim. Which obviously didn't occur in Ft.W.
Can't you see how uncomfortable President Kennedy was throughout the breakfast...and he even used a more slightly aggressive tone to his speech here, maybe to show the tough gritty oil families and Texans in general, that he's no push over but one tough sob too. Truly chilling and sad that it was his last breakfast and in a few hours he was gasping for breath. Hearing everything before he finally died. The hearing is last to go.
Knowing what's going to happen makes watching this painful. I just turned 13.
My mother said when John Lennon was shot dead in NY in 1980 that that was my "where were you when it happened", as for her generation it was the assassination of JFK.
@@susanford2388 JFK: In kindergarten, walking home from school for the second time (first time was three weeks prior on Halloween)
John Lennon: In the Army at the old Ft. McClellan, Anniston, Alabama, first week of basic training.
I just wish I had a time machine to go back to this day and change the course of what happened.
Really? Change the course of history? For the better or worse?
Well, then they'd still get him in another venue. See, that's the theoretical paradox of time travel, you can only change how something that has already happened, but not prevent it.
When you view the films of Kennedy in his travels he was always in that Lincoln continental convertible. They actually could've gotten him at any time.
I believe if he just had two men on that rear bumper holding on to those handles on the trunk, it may have been enough to thwart at least that attempt to assassinate the man, but then again, maybe not.
But the fact that his protection was in another vehicle is questionable to me.
You'll never see a U. S. President in a convertible while in a slow moving motorcade ever again.
@@NkrumahTure "At any time?" I don't think so. But I think the plan to murder him in that car was the plan all along.
@@michaelbee2165 ".. at any time" meaning what was possible while in that open automobile, not that they wanted to murder him at any time. But anyone could have if they wanted to take that chance. Obviously, Dallas was the place to do it.
Didn’t you read Stephen Kings book on this subject? There’s a chance that doing so in one timeline caused a nuclear war…
Hearing JFK talk, always gave you a feeling of HOPE
Sure but home died that day
YES!!!!~
Yeah...too bad about all the introductions.
Please read James Douglass, "JFK the Unspeakable." It's a GREAT READ!
same as trump
I still cry...💔
😔😔😔🥲
Ya la.than war on social media cry lah😛😛
Very sad seeing this, especially the ending where they spoke of protection for the President and said prayers.
For you sir, Monday never came. And America wept like a new born baby.🇺🇸
Briefly. We have turned our back on his priciples.

Only to people over 60. No one else remembers him.
@@ML-ul2zq You just couldn't resist making that absurd comment... always that obligatory troll comment
@@ML-ul2zq I remember him I am 72. He scared the hell out of me with the Cuban missile crisis. I thought he was going to kill us all, him and his brother. I guess someone is going to call me a troll because I just told how I felt.

@@annmenzzasalma3113 That was an incredibly scary situation. The Soviets were very scary. President Kennedy handled this awesome responsibility masterfully.
The greatest President in my view.
What were the achievement of JFK except peaceful end of Cuban missile crisis? All of the domestic policy initiative such as Civil Rights legislations, Medicare and Medicaid were accomplished by LBJ. Both JFK and Ronald Reagan were overrated!
@@powerfulstrong5673 LBJ the killer?
@@dheavymetal6459 Why do you have such a conclusion?
@@dheavymetal6459 Why do you believe in the conspiracy theories? The concensus of historians is that there was no plausible conspiracy behind the JFK assassination.

He only had a few more hrs to live...
Saddest day in America
Beloved...
Some say it was the very start of the eroding of America 🇺🇸
The assassins were most likely all moving into their sniper positions around the same time.
@@treadstone1970 interesting observation
Well... Next to 911! Done by the masters of evil as well!
@@dgcmusi absolute truth
I love how opened with a few jokes. "nobody wonders what Lyndon and I wear..." It's gold!
Ironic and sad , by 1:30 Dallas time , Lyndon would be the Pres .
@@Jay-vr9ir He knew it too.
The legendary Kennedy wit
JFK was able to take actual, persistent talk about Jackie and make light of it. That's the best kind of joke : a subject that everyone knows about, a funny joke that's never been made.
This is the date that USA ceased to be a nation we could call great. It never recovered
You are absolutely correct. This was the day Americally was OFFICIALLY-killed.
I totally agree.
Please remember, the institutions of government failed on 11/22/63. GOD Bless President John F Kennedy's Memory America misses you!
Never give up.
Agree 100%
What we lost that day cannot be measured.
Truly lost the American dream that dsy
America lost her innocence on Nov. 22, 1963. It was a before and after event, ushering in the whole '60s social revolution. JFK was a flawed man, but he was an inspiring figure. His war record was outstanding; he was smart, handsome and congenial. It's hard to be sure whether he would have been reelected in '64 but I would think he would have.
If I could only travel back in time and stop him from being in that motorcade.
YOU WILL BE ARRESTED BY SECRET SERVICE. 😃😃😃
@@shahrulamar5358 nope just show them oswald and he is saved
😔😔👍
Stop Lee Oswald!
Yeah and you would have been cuffed and taken away and looked at as a nut.
We are still the Keystone in the arch of freedom! JFK! November 22 1963! Brings tears to my eyes:(
Overlooked because of Reagan's, "Tear Down This Wall", but, "Let Them Come to Berlin" still reverberates down the corridors of time for all Ages. JFK was staunchly anti-Communist and the last President to highlight the word, "Liberty" - yes, even more than Reagan who said "Freedom" often - but "Liberty" is America's Foundation.
If you don't know the difference, "freedom" refers to the individual while "Liberty" refers to societal value. JFK also admired the Pilgrims and the founding of Massachusetts Bay Colony, he spoke of it often, he was a Great American!
Rest In Peace Mr. President
The line about protecting himself against local enemies, and against the rattle snakes at LBJ's ranch are just bone-chilling. What incredible footage.
The rattlesnake was LBJ, he knew JFK was gonna drop him from the 64 ticket, last minute change of motorcade taking him down Elm Street, Oswald was just like he said he was. JFK was on LBJ'S home turf, coverup
and the boys' choir singing "The Eyes of Texas are upon you, you cannot get away..."
Ntm the broadcaster talked about the mckinley assassination
Indeed all very strange. I'm guessing this is where the assassination was meant to be. And the second one if this failed...Dallas. Notice JFK didn't seem to comfortable in the entrance and sitting. LBJ leaning right over twice towards JFK to maybe bring him out from behind those flowers. Either, either..JFK felt very uncomfortable looking to me..before the speech.
See JFK's face change from a smile as soon as he hears the boys choir sing "you can not get away"... I wonder his thoughts, he fought hard to not go to Texas so soon after only 2 months earlier.
Such a bright, intelligent, charming and likable man. RIP JFK.
Want some poetic justice? JFK stole votes in IL and TX to win the election .(proven) 3 yrs later he became “JACK IN THE BOX”!!!!

How could Oswald or the shooters know JFK would ve in an open car - no top?
@@doolittlegeorge Yeah, hilarious.😒
A great President in all respects-JFK!!
And all I hear in my mind's ear is "Back, and to the left..."
Little did anyone know that only a few hours after this, that day would take a very dark turn. 😢
It's 2021, and I am just amazed that the presidents exact motorcade route as well as its schedule, was broadcast plainly and publicly for anyone to hear and plan on intercepting it. that's just unbelievable in this day and age!!
They did that because they wanted people to come and see him. It was like a famous movie star coming to town. It is amazing to see how security has changed since those days.
Ima Paine-diaz: You are a complete fool for writing what you did. The motorcade route was not even mapped out until November 14, and not published until November 19. Meanwhile, Oswald had his job at the TSBD since mid-October. You see any problem with your theory?
@@Steph-lc7hy the secret service didn't follow the procedures they had that day. They were supposed to have several hundred on the street making sure there were no open windows and riding on the back of Kennedys car. They try to say that Kennedy didn't want anyone riding on the back of his car. That's a down right lie....When that Secret Service officer started to jump on the back of the Presidents limo, he was warned off by the head of the Secret Service in the car behind the Presidents to not do it. You can tell by his reaction that he knew that was a arbitrary order and went against all protocol. We should hold a real investigation and anyone found to be involved should have all their living Families wealth taken away at the very least. And possibly even their citizenships revoked. Because had they been found guilty they may never acquired the wealth they did from the blasphemous deeds they did.
@@mikegraham1555 why citizenship revoked? I do agree that they should’ve done a more through investigation than the warren report

The Day America died.
It’s incredible to hear the commentator go into an extended monologue about presidential assassination.
Yeah, Seriously. That's super weird about the secret service stuff. Was this in every broadcast/coverage? I've also found it weird that they gave Jackie red roses on the tarmac instead of Texas yellow roses. And taking about William McKinley's murder? It's just bizarre. 😳😑
You taken the words out if my mind... amazing that the guy would speak about assinations
@@footerotica882 there may have been secret service involvement. But, i think it went much higher. I think the Dulles brothers & they're circle had much to do with it. They probably hit up many members of other factions hating Kennedy to help literally execute the plan.
@@footerotica882 Interesting. I've never heard of this.
@@brianmelody8930 Don't believe everything you hear on the internet.

Look how happy Johnson is!!! Only because he KNOWS what's coming in Dallas, and by the end of the day HE will be President of The USA.
Absolutely, what an awful, cowardly person johnson was!
Very sadly it turned out to be most regrettably the last day the last moments of his life. A great loss. Such a wonderful man. RIP
If the President had only worn this hat he might have saved him. Because for h.Monday never came sadly so.
Very sad indeed. The Monday he mentioned never came for him. JFK wasn't perfect, non of us are, but I think he was a very nice man, who didn't deserve to leave this world in such a horrible way. Lord help this evil country.

@@wendydiaz476 It's known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. The President stared down Kruschev who knew he could not manage this attempt to intimidate Kennedy.

How true Tim....that top would have been on the car..,
over 3,000 people their. Look back at 2016 and 2020 how many people came to see President Trump !!!
Dems for Trumps whole 4 years Dems made up Schite and tried to ruin Trump to the point of lieing cheating and fraudulently placed a dementia soaked reptilian in office for 2021.
If you all are awake you can see those now they have power in the WH want nothing more for them and less for everyone else.
@Robert Leruyet True, the planners were Not going to let him live to see 1964.
If only the secret service didn't change the route at the last moment, if only the president wasn't the first car in the motorcade, if only Lynden B. Johnson, Hoover, and Wallace met the evening before in secret.....

One needs but look at the jealousy in LBJ's face when standing so tiny in the Giants shadow. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a better man tenfold on his absolute worse day than LBJ ever was in his entire WEASEL life.

@@doyleperkins4916 If you have proof Oswald had help please provide it .You have zulch proof though .None.
@@barryirvin2417 you need to read some of the books. How could Oswald get a government, distributing school books, job right along the parade route just 5 weeks before?? George Dr Morchildts was OSS, which was dissolved by Truman because so many could not be trusted and he started the CIA from men from that group, he introduced Oswald to Ruth Paine and he husband was working for Bell Helicopter who was helping Cuba. It seems odd Oswald ends up living in George's hometown in Russia. It is all so intertwined. LBJ good friends with book depository owner. Good friends with Hoover they were neighbors for 19 years in D.C. Nixon was best friends with Hoover, they celebrating birthdays together. It was a planned! The Southern Democrates or Dixiecrates hated even the thought of giving blacks any civil rights, they had full on Jim Crow Laws!! And this was deep in the police, politicians, and the people. How in the world did they not secure the area where the police dept, courthouse and on the south end of Dealey Plaza was the Federal Courts Building which housed FBI, CIA and SS offices?? They all could just look out their windows and watch it happen. Such a shame, and it was planned, Big Time!!
@@shernitadee Oswald didn’t act like a Presidential assassin leading up to JFK visit to Dallas .Sept 1963 he went to Mexico desperately trying to go to Cuba but was denied .He attempted to get a job Oct 3 rd 1963 at the Padgett Printing Company but was turned down . So we are lead to believe Oswald who was broke and jobless 7 weeks before he killed JFK was job hunting thru an employment agency but was in a conspiracy to kill JFK during this time ?
He was a proud son of us who lived/live in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We take great pride in him.
"The eyes of Texas are upon you....." They certainly were that day
JFKs loss was devastating for America, not only in domestic policy but Foreign policy leadership as well....that loss of potential still resonates today..
9:54, this great man had four hours to live.
He still is with us. We don’t actually die, we just evolve. The person known as JKF continues their fine work.
Awesome coverage but heartbreaking with the hindsight we now have as to what was about to happen just a few hours later 😥
This is heartbreaking, seeing Gov Connally, VP Johnson, Jackie Kennedy and the president being introduced at that breakfast in the old Texas Hotel, which has had a few renovations and reincarnations since 1963. I stayed there in 1984 when it was known as Hyatt Regency Fort Worth and attended a conference in the very ballroom shown in this video. Recently I visited Fort Worth Water Garden (built in 1974 as part of downtown urban renewal) with a young friend, pointing out to her the hotel the president stayed at across the street and explained that dark day in our history. We paused in silent prayer. It makes me wonder, 57 years later, who in that room knew something about what would occur just 3 hours later in Dallas.
LBJ knew.
You can probably add vice president Lyndon Johnson to that list
@alanmomo - tell all ya think about CHAPPAQUIDDICK
1964 is a vid. that proves just that - and mainstream as it is, it doesn't even discredit LBJ for his abject foreign policy.
Here is the vid ruclips.net/video/aOkwpqlOQgo/видео.html
This was the last time a president would ride in a open motorcade.
Honestly I still can't believe they let him do it. It was so foolish.
@@scottythetrex5197 i guess it was just a matter of time before something would happen...
There is actually a pic of Johnson standing in an open motorcade. Not sure if Nixon did.
@@budlite8 Nixon stuck his head out a cutout in the roof. Even that took guts.
It’s weird watching this footage of JFK on his last day on earth, not knowing he was hearing his last song, eating his last meal and giving his last speech. ❤
Douglas Horne, one of the officials of the Assassination Records Review Board, details the events that led up to The Texas trip in the fifth volume of his five volume set, Inside The Records Review Board. Very intense volumes worth reading by any American.
Kennedy to go through the kitchen for security reasons??? No words.
The agony of that day will never dissipate. We lost our innocence, and with it, all hope. The grief is still palpable.
“The Tactical Fighter Experimental…nobody knows what those words mean.” Love that off-the-cuff remark.
gave him a hat for protection...jesus...
I was 6, in 2nd grade, and my parents were conservative Democrats. I was allowed to stay at home from School in order to watch the local coverage of this BIG, BIG EVENT for Fort Worth. My parents sat about 12 feet from the Head table, but the quality of the film doesn't allow me to find them unfortunately. If anyone has any better version, more definition, it would be great if you could post them. Thank you Helmer Reenberg for posting this. I'm now the age of the year he was shot, 63. So many years, yet Oswald did NOT have a part in this. He was on the payroll of both the FBI & CIA--he had the 310 file (I believe is the number of the file if you have an association with them). It took a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit, to get this fact out.......unfortunately, much was redacted in all the released files........HAD it been simple: A man in a building shooting a man in a car---why 50+ years of lawsuits to get at who shot our President? Why the many blacked-out pages if it's so cut and dried? All a farce, like "Russia Collusion," "Ukraine phone call," "Kavanaugh's accuser," etc. etc. etc. All the same cabal.
Interesting analysis, is it possible given so many of America’s crimes have been carried out by singularly determined and crazed gunmen and so Lee Harvey Oswald could be the only person responsible for this.
All the same cabal, indeed.
Good insight, but I realized is this fact in 1964 when my father order a couple book called Four Days and a Torch is Passed. In these book there is a couple pictures of the Grassy Knoll showing smoke behind a wall.
The comment on how you can see me put the hat on in the White House Monday morning is so eerie knowing that he will never see Monday morning.
R.I.P. Mr. President 🥀 Much love ❤ from Germany 🇩🇪.
Back when we had REAL Leaders in our nation.
What an absoloutely momentous and brilliant address 👏 God rest his sou✨️🙏 Thank you for enabling a generation who were children then the opportunity to view these great moments in History . How very tragic that the state of security that the President spoke so proudly of in his speech 'as second to none' was ronically the state where he was fatally shot on that very same day and ironically it was away from the crowds, and in close protection of his security.. The Monday 🎩 👢👢 that never came for the President . 🙏
Cut the heart out of America that day the greatest president ever
Back when society was good and proper. I dont know if society today even know what that means... or looks like.
what a pride ~ and what a deliverance !
"Nobody wonders what Lyndon and I wear" 👍🤣 ... President Kennedy was awesome!!! My favorite president and first lady!!!
John Kennedy was America's only King. 🇱🇷
Mine to a real leader
WHY?
@@lyndatrones1787 In a fantasy ! Grow up.
Johnson..... a man with no conscience.
This Date is the first thing I ever remembered in my life.
How eerie that while waiting for President Kennedy to make his entrance, the commentator is discussing previous presidential assassinations! Can only imagine how he felt a few hours later when JFK was added to the list.
I was thinking the same thing ..
this extremely detailed sidebar about Mckinley's assassination in 1901 by Leon Czolgosz an odd co-incidence
Oswald was a patsy
He was in the system. File went missing.
“We would like to live, but history will not permit it”. Wow, how prophetic.
Nonsense.passport got what🤣🤣
I think he had a sense of what was to come.
Like the most of u, I too feel that gut wrenching feeling in my stomach at the knowing of the FUTURE that lay ahead around that turn onto Elm Street. Not only for the President, his family but for the nation.
I Love You All, that What is Decent, What a Nightmare, To Loose Such a Humble, Since of Humor, and Just, Person, ..
Speak english.
Listening to this, it feels like now. My body is tremble. I remember when the principal came into our classroom and told us that President Kennedy had been shot. I remember that day, feel I the trembling now in my body.
Thank you very much Helmer i appreciated my friend
So very sad, this man so eloquent, what did America miss out on. The simple question is why.
Because the out of control CIA was about to be reorganized back to its original purpose by Kennedy. Hence their hail of bullets in Dallas.
I was sitting in my first grade class the teacher was called out into the hall and came back into the classroom crying and told the class that president Kennedy had just been assassinated. I remember very well.
😔😔
I was in 7th grade and the very same thing happened to me AND we were all sent home early for the weekend. The funeral was televised the day after Thanksgiving and our country totally closed down for 4 days. God bless John Kennedy. 🇱🇷
Why would the media say where the President is entering and leaving the building...that's a security mistake
It was a different world then.
@ Lou Armstrong: To leave the hotel, RFK made an unscheduled, UNANNOUNCED route change through the pantry, and that didn't work out so well.
17:34 absolutely horrifying. "The eyes of Texas are upon you. You cannot get away." 😱
I will never hear that song the same way now.
Q++
The last real President of the United States ❤ R.I.P. JFK❤
Jackie Kennedy had to have been the most popular First Lady ever. All the announcer seems to be talking about in the beginning are her whereabouts. And the audience don't seem too happy at her absence. I've never seen any modern day First Lady upstage her husband.
Because speaker knew it was going to happen imagine that
If the overnight rain in Dallas had only continued for an hour or two longer that morning history would have been changed.
It would’ve been postponed
Probably, but they still would have killed him in another city if Dallas fell through.
Then, they would have shot him in the afternoon or evening that day on way to dinner in Austin…
Our last real orator, imo.
I feel so sad for Jackie. Her first political trip in a long time, and little could she imagine the horror she would face in just a short while.
@Rob J. Not to mention they had just lost their baby three months before.
On the positive side to JFK's death, Jackie no longer had to put up with JFK's absurd adulterous behavior.
During his presidency, Kennedy engaged in casual sex with dozens of women, including strangers whom aides would procure for him. As described by biographer Geoffrey Perret, Kennedy “brazenly put his hand up their skirts, propositioned them within minutes of meeting and groped their breasts and buttocks even as he danced with them.”
Apparently, she did not want to go to Dallas she was still recovering from the death of their son Patrick in August. Good thing she went though, bless her.
@@susanford2388 It is not a good thing she went, she should have not had to seen her husbands brain out right in front of her
@@salvation4all313 Idk I think Jackie would have had her cheating husband vs a dead husband, we have to remember these two had children. Although their marriage probably would have ended their children would have still had a father.
The people loved this man
The commentary in the first few minutes about security and the top being up on account of rain...!
Such a terrible loss,.
