Kennedy in dallas, texas just before he was killed. Jim, tells about this incredible vehicle and the history behind it. You cannot imagine today the white house borrowing a traffic car to take the president around. They had a in texas series of parades with the official limousine. He was to fly into ft. Worth the night of the 21st. They were not going to do a parade so they flew the official car to dallas for the parade next day. They borrowed this car from a ford dealership. This was sam sneads car. They brought him from the airport at Carswell Air Force base on thursday night. He and jackie. The next morning he came out and spoke to about 5000 people in the rain. He went back in and made his last speech at the chamber of commerce in dallas. Pouring rain. He didnt have a jacket or a hat on. The car and all the footage of the car has the top of. The sun came out during the speech so they decided to put the top down. He rode the 12 minutes from the hotel the carswell inside on streets lined with people. He gets on air force one, flies 10 minutes the ballots. Dallas. And within one hour he had passed away. This was the last car he got out of. It traveled four years as a collector car. It has been in storage. I bought it in october 2013 to get back to fort worth for the 50th anniversary. We parked it in the same spot at the same hotel. Congressman jim wright who introduced kennedy that morning was there for the 50th. He came over to the car and he remembered the car and kennedy getting in the car that morning. He sat where we are right now. Exactly where you are sitting. Jackie gets in the car and moves to the middle. Governor connally gets in the sea where i am sitting and president kennedys that were you are sitting. Since it is not a big president ial limousine they were all packed in. She is squeezed in between the president and governor connally. This is really incredible. Nothing has been changed. It has a new paint job and a little work on the engine. The car does run. Nothing has changed. A lot of great photos of them in the car. Anymore whole, it was a picture of jackie looking to the left. Andy warhol did a composite really duplicate is a photograph of her in watercolors. We are adjacent to another exhibit that includes the last telephone the john f. Kennedy used in texas. Yes. The white house always putting telephones for the president that were secure. It was so late when they got in a were exhausted. But they decorated the room with picassos, beautiful paintings, and they didnt notice until the next morning. The president made one last call. Be called the lady at the art society to thank her for all the artwork for the room. It was the last telephone call he made at the time since they do not have portables. He then gets in this car to the airport and then on to dallas. The last two phones, a lot of pictures of the phones sitting on the bed stools in the room. A lot of pictures from november 22, 1963, and a tie used by president kennedy. This was one of the ties he gave dave powers, one of his advisers. It went up for sale in 2013. And the shoes she wore. Im sure she took multiple sets to paris. We have the last invitation to the white house which was november 20, an event the president attended and then flip the morning of the 21st. Adam hawkins says the numberone exhibit is a replica of the fuselage of air force one, which is also yours. What is the story . This airplane was used. It was just a regular airplane, 707 boeing used for hollywood sets. 2000 five the Republican Convention. It was the next an airplane. Nixon. After that i converted the playing to the way it was the day he was flown back to washington, d. C. This is the traveling quarters from jackie kennedy. This is a copy of what she wore that day. Flowers. We have a tv playing inside showing the arrival in dallas. It was the morning of november 22. Do you remember that day . I do. I was in the sixthgrade. I remember the principles wife coming by and telling the teacher something. We could see was very serious. She announced to the class that president kennedy had been shot. We did not know he had passed away. 30 minutes later she came back in and said he was dead. It turned the world upside down. For four days tv was nonstop. We grew up in my family, we love john kennedy. He was our hero. Much ifected me so wanted to be involved in politics. I started collecting campaign buttons. I have 1. 4 Million Campaign buttons now. Two airplanes. I have a Reagan Air Force one also. He went from but neglecting to a traveling show on the presidency. This is one of the iconic photographs of that day is a landed at love field. Mrs. Kennedy, the president. What are your thoughts . Before the end of the innocence of camelot. They were young and beautiful. Everything changed. The innocence of what the world was like, and then we lose Martin Luther king and Robert Kennedy a few years later. We live in a different world than that very moment. 20 minutes later everything is changed. We can hear the recording in the background of Walter Cronkite announcing the assassination and death of resident kennedy as we make our way inside the rep. Bera of the replica ofvember the 707 used november 22, 1963. He had the staff chairs and a sofa. This is where he would have all his meetings with staff. The rust, robert mcnamara. The ru dean rusk. They could talk to anyone in the world from this airplane. You have taken a lot of attention to detail to make sure this is exactly how it was on that day. How did you research it . With a Wonderful Company in kansas. They reoutfit airplanes. They have all the photographs and schematics of the airplane. It took about six months to get this airplane exactly the way it is. We recently loaned the chairs the airplane to hbo. They did a series on lbj. Kennedy movie opens up, johnson is sitting in this chair. Is after the assassination and they are on their way back to washington. This is the most realistic with the world map. Even the clock on the wall at the time president kennedy died, 12 30 central time november 22. The cockpit is how it was 50 something years ago . The command center. There was a typewriter. There was a stenographer stationed behind us with a typewriter. The steno machine is exactly the way it was like it was a day. Why is this your passion . Politics since the date kennedy died. I wanted to be involved in politics and work with campaigns and was kept collecting memorabilia. Might get a chance after 9 11, we lost three children coming to washington because of security. I purchased the airplane. I went out to branson, missouri and built in the simple the american president ial museum. I knew those kids. I knew those kids in the ozarks. If they didnt get to go with a reprisal, they may never get to washington and see what its like. And set of them coming there, i took it to them. I built an oval office. I had Ronald Reagans president ial limousine. We became the main educational history exhibit third or that arkansas, southern missouri and oklahoma. It has turned into more education. I want to turn kids onto political history in president ial history of particular. We are rejoined by adam hawkins inside the oval office. This is really cool. This is a replica of reagans oval office. This is a replica of a photo that is been in his oval office, president Obamas Oval Office and george w. Bushs oval office, and jfk as well. With photos of president reagan. The jellybeans he used to keep on his desk. The experience has taught me more personal side they dont really see in the public percent of the get off. There a few people have a chance to go through. The public is not allowed to tour the oval office when they go to the white house. This is to the diameter an exact replica. An exact replica of reagans oval office. Is a real interesting snapshot into history. This was presented to us by facebook who is been a great sponsor for politicalfest so far.

He talked of her career highlights and gave insight into the clintons family life. Gentlemen, please welcome the 42nd president of the United States, bill clinton. [cheers] bill clinton thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You. Thank you. Thank you. In the spring of 1971, i met a girl. [cheers] the first time i saw her, we were, appropriately enough, in a class on political and civil rights. She had thick blond hair, big glasses. [laughter] wore no makeup. And she exuded this strength of selfpossession i found magnetic. After the class i followed her , out, intending to introduce myself. I got close enough to touch her back, but i couldnt do it. Somehow, i knew this would not be just another tap on the shoulder, that i might be starting something i couldnt stop. I saw her several more times the the next few days but i still didnt speak to her. Then one night in the law library talking to a classmate who wanted me to join the yale law journal. He said it would guarantee me a job at a big firm or a clerkship with a federal judge. I really wasnt interested i just wanted to go home to arkansas. [cheers] then i saw the girl again, standing at the opposite end of that long room. Finally, she was staring back at me. So i watched her. She closed her book, put it down, and started walking toward me. She walked the whole length of the library, came up to me, and said, look, if you are going to keep staring at me [laughter] if you are going to keep staring at me, we at least ought to know each others name. Im hillary rodham, who are you . [cheers] i was so impressed and surprised that, whether you believe it or not, momentarily, i was speechless. [laughter] finally, i sort of blurted out my name and we exchanged a few words and she went away. Well, i didnt join the law review, but i did leave that library with a whole new goal in mind. [laughter] a couple days later, i saw her again. She was wearing a long, white, flowery skirt. And i went up to her and she said she was going to register for classes for the next term. I said i would go too. We stood in line and talked you had to do that to register back then. [laughter] i thought i was doing pretty well until we got to the front of the line and the registrar looked up and said, bill, what are you doing here . You registered this morning. [laughter] i turned red and she laughed that big laugh of hers and i thought, well, heck, since my cover has been blown, i asked her to take a walk down to the art museum. We have been walking and talking and laughing together ever since. [applause] and we have done it in good times, through joy and heartbreak. We cried together this morning on the news that our good friend and a lot of your good friend, mark weiner, passed away early this morning. We built up a lifetime of memories. After the first month and that first walk, i actually drove her home to park ridge, illinois, to [cheers] to meet her family and see the town where she grew up, a perfect example of postworld war ii middleclass america. Street after street of nice houses, great schools, good parks, a big public swimming pool. And almost all white. I really liked her family. Her crusty, conservative father, her rambunctious brothers, all extolling the virtue of rooting for the bears and the cubs. [cheers] and for the people of illinois here, they even told me what waiting for next year meant [laughter] could be next year, guys. [laughter] [applause] now, her mother was different. She was more liberal than the boys. She had a childhood that made mine look like a piece of cake. She was easy to underestimate with her soft manner and she reminded me all over again of the truth of that old saying that you should never judge a book by its cover. Knowing her was one of the greatest gifts hillary ever gave me. [applause] i learned that hillary got her introduction to social justice through her methodist youth minister, don jones. He took her downtown to chicago to hear Martin Luther king jr. Speak and he remained her friend for the rest of his life. This will be the only campaign of hers he ever missed. When she got to college, her support for civil rights and opposition to the vietnam war compelled her to change parties and become a democrat. [cheers] and then between college and law school, on a total lark, she went alone to alaska and spent time sliming fish. More to the point, by the time i met her she had already been involved in the law Schools Legal Services project and she had been influenced by Marian Wright edelman. She took a summer internship [applause] interviewing workers in migrant camps for sen. Walter mondales subcommittee. She had also begun working in in the Yale New Haven Hospital to develop procedures to handle suspected child abuse cases. She got so involved in childrens issues that she actually took an extra year in law School Working at the Child Studies Center to learn what more could be done to improve the lives and futures of poor children. [applause] she was already determined to figure out how to make things better. Hillary opened my eyes to a whole new world of Public Service by private citizens. In the summer of 1972
