constant communication with the white house and also other members of the administration, mainly robert kennedyenior, the attorney general. the bodies were found, like i said, on august 4. fbin informant who told the where they were. it took them 44 days. they excavated the site and found them and then the president's staff called the three families, the schwerner's, cheney's and my parents. inparents, by that time the evening had gone to lincoln center to see a concert. i was only one at home. i believe lee white to work for president johnson called me and i called one of our family lawyer members and he went and got him at lincoln center. tavis: you actually received a phone call. who had the responsibility of sharing that with your parents? >> a man by the name of ernie fishman, a very close family friend went to lincoln center and got them and brought them home. tavis: did he tell them at lincoln center? >> he told them there. it was a terrible thing, but he had to tell them. tavis: how did your parents navigate forward? how did they process all this? >> it is a great question. it wasn't ea

. >> wasn't the appearance during the fast of robert kennedy that catpoulted the union and his crusade to a more national audience? >> i think absolutely. the fast is march of 2008 and this is two and a half years into the great strike. he has become a nationally known figure particularly with the march in 1966. but the fast is a tremendous organizing opportunity. he fasted for 25 days. the place where he fasted was the union head quarters becomes a shrine. there are nightly masses and people walking on their knees up to the path of the 40 acres. it attracted tremendous media attention and bobby kennedy coming to break the fast. it is an iconic picture and probably a picture more people have seen than any other and it is still used today and the kennedy name was enormious at that point in time and it is week before kennedy announced running for president. so it tied them into the first political campaign. they go out and do door to door promoti promoting. they are there at the hotel when he got shot. i see the fact that it is a real turning point in the history of the movement and i qu

and the white house advise the president specifically the attorney general, robert kennedy said you can'tre. he simply cannot stay there. so not only did some not to -- kennedy said he wouldn't stay at scenarios, he made it worse by saying he was going to stay at the republican singers. sinatra went nuts, and she told me he took a sledgehammer to the heliport planting and started stopping it up, busted up theoo. rooms, just went insane, andt that was the end of the relationship. up to that point they had been very, very close. sed a lot of m, created the campaign song, he'd flown to hyannis port. very close to them. but after that, no. >> host: a couple of conspiracy theories, and this is from lawrence, an e-mail from lawrence. did you come across any evidence that george bush was in the plaza when jfk was killed? >> no, i did not come across evidence that he was there, but there is a letter in the fbi files averring that. but i did not come across any evidence. it is interesting, the assassination has raised so many conspiracy theories that most people, polls show, believe that we don't

eric:'s and the son of robert kennedy somehow involved in the case?stopher kennedy's on the board, he says should a terrorists bent on overthrowing the government with the murder of police involved in a killing be on the public payroll? the answer is no. he cofounded the weather underground and co-authored a book that was interpreted as supporting the man who killed robert kennedy. martha: congressmen michael grimm is due in court this morning. calling a federal tax evasion case against him a witch hunt. what we can expect today. eric: and making her first comments since she was fired as editor of "the new york times," causing a firestorm in the heated debate over whether she was treated differently because she is a woman. >> they are complaining about a fact some people referred to her on background is being pushy. something you don't hear being said about men. i make a lot of purchases for my business. and i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase like 60,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. and

"lockup" crews have also been frequent guests at california state prison corcoran. >> you might have to fight. you might have to kill. you might have to stab. you never know. depends on the situation. >> a lot of times it's just fistfights out here. but i would say maybe every other month we get a righteous stabbing. when they do stab each other they go for the kill. they don't just stab each other to play around. >> every morning you wake up you dealing with a thousand different attitudes. you never know what could happen on that certain day. all you can do is think the worst, hope for the best. >> we met two inmates on the yard at corcoran who are much more pro-active when it comes to surviving life in this powder keg. they gave our crew a tutorial on how they do it. >> some of the rules that you want to live by behind these walls is you want to give everybody the same respect that you expect to receive from them. >> without order we have anarchy. when

. >>> let me finish tonight with the great advice i attribute to the late robert kennedy. hang a lantern on your problem. i headed my first book, "hardball," back in '88. i think it carries a tremendous value to old, young, and in between. i'm talking here about the in-betweens, the clintons. there is nothing more far fetched, i believe, for the clintons to act as if the monica lewinsky episode didn't occur. everyone knows it did, everyone. since everyone knows it occurred, speak and act accordingly. it was bad for the country, bad for al gore, who ultimately paid the price for it, and certainly, it appears, for monica lewinsky. what was bad about it was, i could argue, was the readiness of the clinton and those around them to deny the very existence of miss lewinsky. that was the game plan, portray her as a nut job who made up the story. and that game plan came to a crashing halt once the blue dress left its hanger in the closet. dna is one tough competitor when you go into the courtroom of public opinion. all that said, nobody's perfect, and in politics, i've discovered,

we know from our history that robert kennedy, j.edgar hoover, authorized all kinds of surveillance an, inappropriate i will submit, of martin luther king, jr. look, we don't need another time where somebody under a vague term like clandestine intelligence activity, heaven help you if you look over a fence into a government secured area, you just engage in clandestine intelligence activities. look, this is so broad, so vague, you could drive a truck through this for anyone wanting information on american citizens. and that's also true in 1842 where it says to obtain foreign intelligence information, that makes me feel better, not concerning a united states person. oh, goody, it's got to be some and not a u.s. person, or to protect against international terrorism, international good, or clandestine intelligence activities. same thing down in part c. commits to protect against international terrorism or clandestine activity. my amendment makes clear what we were promised in 2005-2006. this has to do with foreign intelligence, foreign t

then secretary of the interior, stuart udall, and the attorney general, robert kennedy, presented the franchise with an ultimatum. whls marshall signed a african-american player, the government would revoke his franchise 30-year lease on the use of the d.c. stadium. mr. speaker, we cannot simply continue to -- this hateful traditions that mock, delittle, disparage, or disgrace those of a different race because of the color of their skin. the national basketball association recently reacted swiftly to mr. don sterling's racist remarks. why is the national football league so hesitant? why is mr. snyder so slow to do the right thing when some six million of his own people's skins were used for change by the nazi germans in world war ii. shame on mr. snyder for perpetuating this racism and bigotry. we should know bet earn do better. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the chair declares the house in recess in fact, you shouldn't think about that issue at all when you sit down to write. what you should do when you sit down to write is to write what you

the first politician i ever heard talk about welfare reform was robert kennedy. right, frank? he worked for him. i was a governor in 1980 when jeremy carter got the authority to give five states experiments to change from an income-based system for poor people to a work-based system. i applied and we were accepted. by the time i was a senior governor in the country in the late '80s, i worked with the reagan administration on a welfare reform bill. here's the only thing you need to know so you don't forget about the people. we were about to pass this bill. i had a big forum. for the governors in washington here to go lobby to congress, and we brought in all these people that had been on welfare, including a woman from our native state arkansas named willie harden. i said lilly, she had been talking to all these governors and looked like she had been doing it all her life, very comfortable. i said do you think this program should be mandatory? she said, oh, yeah. i said, why do you think that? she said, because people like me are scared. we don't think we can amount to anything

beautiful poetry, and i was reading somewhere that she was the only poet other than robert frost who spoke during john f. kennedy's inauguration to ever speak at a presidential inauguration. and you're right, she was here so often that she was so lovable. and there was something about her, like she always took the time to listen. >> yes. she remembered everybody's names. and she just -- every time i'd come up and she was always in the little room there, of course maya's back. why wouldn't she be? you listen to the last tweet, you guys, that she did. on may 23rd, she tweeted, "listen to yourself. and in that quietude, you might hear the voice of god." >> that was the last tweet. >> she gave a lot of joy to a lot of people. >> there will be a lot of tributes to maya. >> i think we're all her family. she made us feel like we were. >> she sure did. >>> we're moving on. there's some interesting news that comes out of the west coast. there is a man, he's an anonymous donor. >> he's a good guy. >> he has decided that by giving clues on twitter, he's going to give cash away, thousands of dollars. so he guides people where

kennedy, richard nixon, lyndon johnson, barry goldwater, robert kennedy, eugene mccarthy and george mcgovernd i think the vividness of the white's writing inspired me to devote my career to running for office and serving in elected office. the 0 white is no longer around to chronicle presidential races and it falls to dan balz and others to carry on that tradition. peggy noonan of the wall street journal said dan balz's "collision 2012: obama vs. romney and the future of elections in america" is the best presidential campaign chronicle in many years. it is a great book, in part because it isn't about what happened as much as it is about how people in the campaigns with thinking. al kamen from the washington post said the behind-the-scenes reporting makes the book i must read. it was a fascinating ride. i think the real value of this book may come not so much now, because many of us who read his reporting daily and other contemporaneously reporting may already know the fundamental details of the 2012 race although this book provides in-depth commentary in interviews that were not reported in

justice kennedy and robert site disclosure as the reason the limitations don't have to be upheld. unfortunately the disclosure requirements they mention in those opinions as the bull work against abuse and corruption don't exist. for example, according to a new study by the center for response of politics, total expending totals $7 million to this point in 2014. nearly three times what was spent in 2010. that is the point i want to emphasis. this isn't a gradual growth of a change of a few dollars here and there. we have an explosion of this with not only outside spending but spending we don't know the source. we have created a parallel universe of campaign finance. the traditional candidate base system with limits on sources and amounts and strict disclosure requirements and the independent system with no control of systems, no limits and no disclosure. this troubling new world of finance affects how we interact with the process. the amount of money that elected officials need to be made. and an average u.s. senate running for reelection has to raise something on the order of $5-

we saw it in the guided age, and i think what justice kennedy and roberts have done in these decisions is open up a new gilded age. >> you being a political scientist, not just a campaign expert here, understand one of the problems we have had people so polarized, whatever special interest is to the left or right, one of the things i'm worried about as i looked at this mccutcheon decision, even more than the independent expenditures, is that it will just play to the polls t will make it even harder for people to do things in the middle where they have to compromise and be able to kind of go in the face of some of the people from their own base, from their own party if they are just going to be punished in a big way by major donors. do you think there's any truth to that? >> i think you get when it comes to big donors, maybe four categories of people. two that represents the polls, and they are trying to use their money as electoral magnets. to pull people further apart. >> that's a good analogy. >> a third type they have pecuniary interests. they use money to make money. i'm frankly su

the resolution you voted for, robert byrd said was a blank check for george bub. ted kennedyt was a vote for war. james carville said anyone who says that vote wasn't a vote for war is bunk. >> so you knew in 2007 this guy if problem. i have to keep him out of the spotlight involve mying campaign. why didn't you say then, you know, reverend, we're going on different paths? >> help me understand where that tv persona and the way he decided to do television, where did that come from is this is that partly, you know, your grandfather's influence? does it come from buffalos, somewhere else? where is it that come from? >> it's a few things. interestingly enough, my father never set out to be a tv permit. >> he always joked don't have jaws. i have jaw lines. he always went to law school. he combined the knowledge that learned from that because he knew how pole tigs were fwog spin things, and he went after them with a presidential sort of sense of mind. something you often see a ri melbourne do the cycle's air. he also, though, had this idea that if his grand -- if it father, my gra

robert shankin, it's a look back at the year 1964. president johnson's first year in office after the assassination of john f. kennedy.umultuous time for the presidency and the entire nation. >> we got people in this country living in unbelievable poverty. i know, i grew up like that in the hill country. >> i saw you last night and i saw this character, you know, neck out, shoulders up. >> that was my version of l.b.j. it really is a version of him. because you don't want to try to take on the character specifically in the sense to do an impersonation. you know, i just want to get the sense of who he is. and allow that character just to be absorbed into me, you know. so i'm able to then let him loose on stage. >> it keeps flowing no matter what. >> now 58, cranston is best known for his role on the hit amc drama "breaking bad." he grew up in los angeles, his parents were both actors. he first thought about becoming a cop. he started taking acting classes in his 20s and began landing commercials. >> now you can relieve inflamed him roidal tissue. >> and small roles on tv. >> just a minute, i don't have much money.

interesting this is 40-something odd years ago for me, robert mcnamara who told us we were going to win in street vietnam, but there was not a john f. kennedy, pay any price, bear any burden speech, this speech was all over the place, trying to get it all in within 20 minutes, if you read betweens lines, the u.s. is slowly pulling back from its commitment, surely the taliban started their clock at ape 18 months when they could resume their offensive in afghanistan when the last of our close combat forces leave that country. lou: to v.a., a san diegoing respect -- scatheing respect as ing report as isaid, we have a f integrity within the leadership of the v.a. or this could not be happening. not to the men and women who serve this country in uniform. your reaction? whether or not general shinseki should resign? what in the world are we doing having a discussion about it? why aren't we doing something? and why are these eternal investigations and studies when we have right before us a very clear statement about its leadership? >> well, first of all, my own experiencing, i suffer from agent orange disease, i had to wait a year and a half just

with the liberals so when there is a swing justice usually justice kennedy, that justice in the affordable care act was chief justice robertse liberals and it is 5-4 the other way. is not fair to say it is always a 5-4 majority, it is frequently 5-4, and sometimes for liberals and swing justice and four conservatives just -- stuart: a precarious balance. under what circumstances could the conservatives or the liberals obtain a clear majority, clear-cut majority? judge napolitano: occasionally there are 6-3 opinions, sometimes in civil liberties areas as n the george bush terror era cases that there were five of them and all five went against the government and all sorts of different majorities, one was 9-0, one was 6-3, sometimes you find some unusual alliances when dealing with civil liberties when the left and right out number the middle but for the most part it pretty much stays with four conservatives and four liberals saying together each side trying to to woo justice anthony kennedy and conservatives appearing to be more successful, more frequently than the liberal. stuart: is that going to change? will one side or th

ways in which even the attack on affirmative action isn't about what justice roberts is doing on the courts or anthony kennedy it's also about young plaintiffs like abigail fisher who feel like somehow that her whiteness is being discounted in favor of black and brown people or places that the university of texas or of course more recently at the university of michigan and i think we have to pay attention to the fact that there are pockets of young people in america even though they've been offended as being quote unquote the m.t.v. or abused one generation who really believe that america has wiped the slate clean they've grown up in schools that don't teach history particularly black history so they think that any disparities are function of personal behavior and that there should not be any attempt to redress historical wrongs right i love of people say oh well we have a black president so racism doesn't exist. superficial analysis of the roots and let's talk about those roots dr you said that the disparity and what children learn in school in the reality on the ground you discuss that disparity what effect
