CANDID KENNEDY FILM -- NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND (SEPTEMBER 12-15, 1963)

[@joijaxx]

I love when they go out on the Honey Fitz, you can feel the chilly air, the wakes, and the breeze when the ladies put on their scarves and hats. Golden days for sure. Thanks for posting.

[@larrysproul9424]

Honey Fitz was sure a beautiful boat .I wonder what became of it ?

[@Gigi1111Layna]

Indeed it was. I think it was kept well for John Jr to go out there. As he did so often. Quick note when the binoculars are pulled out for that larger fine boat gliding by. Lol.

[@DeborahLuptak]

I love this video. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. I want to scream at my computer screen and tell them not to go to Dallas. No matter what anybody what anybody says, the man was a great politician and leader. The way he got the country so excited about being American and what a difference each citizen could make by contributing something back to their country. It was such a positive outlook that he spread around the nation and his communication skills were impeccable. The two of them seemed to electrify the nation! I have been away for a while and this is my first real chance to get caught up here. Thank you for another great video!

[@spirg]

Deborah Luptak Arguable with some

[@m.e.d.7997]

Should never have gone to Dallas.

[@normamimosa5991]

Great leader? He was in the White House for far too short a time to assess him as a great leader. He won the presidency by the smallest margin ever, and his election was rigged by his father's deal with the mob. He was a great speaker, with great aspirations for America. By the grace of Jackie Kennedy, her fashions and refinement, the nation and world was drawn to them. He treated her abominably. He was a serial philanderer. They were on the precipice of a divorce, when he persuaded her to go to Dallas with him. Before that fateful trip, she was hardly ever in the White House, preferring to be in her country home in Virginia. The world braced for nuclear war, when he challenged the USSR's missile site in Cuba. Now, under Biden, the US ignores the US intolerance for any offensive foreign military base close to its borders, while digging in with an offensive US military base right on Russia's border, actually initiating war, hoping the dangerous hypocrisy will escape the masses. He could be considered the last classical liberal president. The Democrat Party, slid into more and more destructive socialism after his death, to its outright totalitarian fascism today. He was as leary about the CIA as Trump is -- more vocal about it than Trump. It cost him his life.

[@Nicoletta13]

​@@normamimosa5991actually jack and Jackie were CLOSER than they had been after they lost Patrick in August. She WANTED to go to Dallas with him. Yes he had affairs sadly. ALOT of men did .. the wives just looked the others.way. it doesn't justify it at all but sign of tines. For the 1,000 days they were in the white house. He made a huge impact. Had he not been killed I think he would've won re-election and would've done even more great work. It was a huge loss for all of us. When he was assassinated.

[@matijastupin]

Hammersmith Farm ( Jackie's mother's home) looks stunning. The stables, pool area, just lovely. Both President Kennedy snd his wife loved the ocean. Thanks for sharing. So nice, such a shame the most horrific tragedy was just around the corner. Nothing would ever be the same, for many. 😪

[@Gigi1111Layna]

Of course it does, she married for it. And ignored Jackie and Lee ever since.

I thought it was so sad that Jack and Jackie didn’t even look at each other much less talk to each other on the boat.

At 7:06 JFK Jr is holding a toy helicopter. I had THAT helicopter at the same time. Only, I was 6 years old and I would "fly" that thing everywhere. My favorite toy ever. Amazing to see he had one too !!

For 20 minutes, I was magically transported away from all of today's ugliness and divisions to a time that had its problems and issues but was more hopeful and where the American people were on the move. Amazing footage and surreal knowing that that the horror of Dallas was right around the corner. Sigh.

[@theartistformerlyknownaslu3871]

God I love my state. Look at those ocean views man

[@jenniferlockwood5661]

I've always wondered what it feels like to be on a boat out on the open like that. I imagine it's freeing to the soul.

[@louise3088]

The name of the boat is an omage to JFK's grandfather,a former mayor of Boston. He was Rose's father. Politics truly was in his blood.

[@Gigi1111Layna]

Oh it is. You've got to get out to the ocean sometime. It's where life makes sense. Though scary bc you realize how powerful it is. It's the most wonderful thing in the world. ❤..Maybe you could go out on a whale watching experiment if you don't find another way. I hope you do get to experience it.💞🙏🏻😊

I Love, Love, Love this video! Thank you. I am two years older than Caroline. I remember I had wished i was her, she had a Dad and a pony. But then...😢

[@TraceyKay-p9g]

JFK had more love for that little boy than she ever did for him.😢that poor boy, first losing his father then discovering Caroline was Jackie's favorite. Girls are famously easier to handle growing up, but that should not be the barometer. Thank God John Jr. Had his dad's love for thise first formative years.❤

[@TraceyKay-p9g]

exactly. JFK Sr was not a narcssicist like the mother.

[@shernitadee]

I am a bit confused! How can ypu say that?? She loved her son. What on Earth makes you say that? It was hard for her to bare children.

[@patriciahayes7315]

Although he's holding a hat, it's been said that Jack Kennedy hated hats, something that I learned only just recently.

[@jamestucker9524]

President Kennedy never liked to wear hats.Even at his inauguration he held the top hat in his hand.

[@sandraatkins2539]

@@jamestucker9524 He wore his top hat at his inauguration.

[@sean2015]

That's just the point. He's holding the hat but never wearing it. JFK was said to be very vain about his hair -- which he had great hair -- and refused to wear hats for fear of ruining it. They say that President Kennedy was a major factor in the gradual decline of hat usage among men starting from the time period he was in office.

[@Nikohere]

8:26-9:44 Beautiful💙✊extreme hd clean footage ive never seen before. I wonder what John always thought of JFK JR. Ought to be in the future as? President? Governor?

[@DeborahLuptak]

Niko here - That is an interesting thought. I once saw an interview with Jay Schadler of ABC interviewing JFK Jr. Schadler, of course, asked Jr if he had any presidential ambitions which Jr. side-stepped beautifully. Then Schadler asked him what he thought his Dad would have thought about his own future now. JFK Jr said that in "today's" climate (which was the year 1989) he was not at all sure whether his father would have chosen to run. I was surprised at first but after thinking about it I thought it was an incredibly insightful answer. He was obviously educated about the life and times of his father and knew when his Dad was President, questions weren't asked about personal lives. The press has info on JFK, JFK had info on the major members of the press so everybody kept quiet. That wouldn't have been the case in 1989. I have seen so many comments from Kennedy haters on these sites. Their go-to lines to attempt to tarnish JFK as a President is to remind us of his reputation with the women. Lol, that is so rich considering that today there is somebody in office who has tried everything twice and magically it doesn't seem to matter to them. Wherever shall they turn from now on to be so harshly critical of JFK, when they are supporting blindly, somebody with no moral code in almost every category. Lol, I love it because they have all played their hand now. Did anybody ever hear JFK talking in the vile manner the present person in office has done? I don't think so! Just some thoughts I wanted to share after reading your post.

[@pookiebear364]

Niko here--- From all I hear, I think jack had one word for jon jon...happy

[@DeborahLuptak]

@@pookiebear364 You are correct. I remember a brief interview in which JFK was stopped for a few minutes to answer a few questions. It seems to me that whoever was asking the questions inquired about what JFK wanted for his son. He replied with one word which was "happy". He didn't have a preconceived notion of what he wanted for either of his children. I can only imagine that it may have had something to do with the fact that Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. was fairly bent on first Joe Jr. to be President and then JFK, who wondered how he was going to fill the shoes of his older brother.
