kennedy had been assassinated he cried. why? guest: it was one of the marvelous interesting in my judgment fascinating aspects of nikita khrushchev that he had a dream and the dream was that if he could sit down with an american president, he figured that he and the president could solve all the problems of the world. all he needed was that opportunity. and he got that opportunity only once in june of 1961 in vienna when they met at the summit, the summit that was greeted with enormous expectation and ended in the deepest disappointment. and khrushchev took it into his mind that he wanted to somehow or another take kennedy to the cleaners, he was going to get his way, he wanted to rewte the strategic balance of the world whi favored the u.s.. he wanted to favor russia, the soviet union and he did have that moment with kennedy which led to the cuban missile crisis, which led the world to the edge of a nuclear war. afterward, they reached an agreement on an atmospheric nuclear test ban treaty. after that finally in khrushchev's mi

pizzuro: no. >> senator kennedy: we got to do something. my last question, do you find it ironic that all these people in big tech who dreamed about and talked about creating a utopia, have managed todd generate more hate and more harm than anyone could ever have possibly imagined - all to make money. >> mr. pizzuro: and lots of money they made. >> senator kennedy: do you find it ironic? >> mr. pizzuro: really. >> chairman grassley: senator blumenthal. >> senator blumenthal: that may be the only reason i am the only one left. >> chairman grassley: i am looking forward for your question. i am going to turn the gavel to senator blackburn. >> senator blumenthal: representative guffey, thank you for being here today. our hearts go out to you. your courage and strengths make an enormous difference. i know how strongly you supported the kids online safety act and i am deeply grateful for your support and activism going to louisiana seeking to talk to representative scalise and representative speaker johnson on behalf of that bill. you did an arti

kennedy. >> yes.is is like one of the most important for me. it's a revelation to see it in real time, where somebody where somebody goes, oh my god, i can't trust this person anymore. because now i've experienced the reporting up close. yes. and he nailed woodward. >> and it's really interesting because this phenomenon is unique. so michael crichton was the one who coined the term gell-mann amnesia based on murray gelman's research, which was and it only it only pertains to the media, because most of us, if we come up against someone who's lying, we're like, oh, that person's a liar. i don't trust them. so it has taken us decades to get to that point in our modern society. but now places like cnn and the new york times are really worried because everyone has sort of emerged from their amnesia and they're like, oh, wait, the new york times, like, i know i can't afford things, but the new york times is telling me that inflation is imaginary and transitory, and it's all in my head. i know this very well

kennedy understood. sound bites work in a tv era and then in had like fdr, a lot of initiatives very on in his presidency we we may be seeing a lot of executive actions today tomorrow too. so it's you know, it's somewhat reminiscent of fdr 1933 with a lot of new directions for that for the government all beginning today we only got jfk inaugural. of course it's but it's too we can't consider what he might have said a second time around. there's a feeling even among pro jfk including me that some of his rhetoric about bearing any burden and being willing to contest the cold anywhere put him in a bit of a box as things were getting worse in southeast asia and, vietnam. he felt, had to live up to his rhetoric. kennedy escalates the number of american troops from, i think about a 1000 under eisenhower hour to about 16,000 still way less than. lyndon johnson, who had than half, half a million american soldiers by the mid-sixties. so you have to be you know, most of these speeches are are very full of confiden

now, just four years ago, it was robert f kennedy jr. who suggested publicly as a means of undermining the mmr vaccine credibility, told the gathering that he was speaking in front of that vitamin a and chicken soup was the cure to measles. of course, back in 2019, he faced much backlash after going to the islands of samoa, where, along with other anti-vax activists urged against the vaccination of children, and by year's end there were 83 children that had died of measles. and so for secretary kennedy in this op ed directly urging parents to vaccinate their kids with the mmr vaccine is notable. we should note in that same op ed, though, throughout it there were suggestions that have often echoed anti-vax rhetoric, for instance, suggesting that measles is best cured by sanitation and by a nutritious diet. effectively undermining the importance of the vaccine. yet, notably, during his confirmation hearings, he said that he would not seek to remove any vaccines from the market. and so far here, this is a notable step for secretary kennedy,

kennedy jr. says his department is supplying 2000 doses of the mmr vaccine, but he's not explicitly recommending that people get the vaccine. you're shaking your head. you have a problem with what part of that or all? >> yeah. i mean, it's just. >> i. >> mean, this. >> you. >> know, bobby kennedy has built. >> a career. >> and a fortune, truly, on anti-vax rhetoric, on on. >> spreading disinformation, particularly. >> about the mmr vaccine. i mean. >> the original. >> study in england. >> by doctor wakefield that. >> suggested a link between that and autism was completely debunked. >> he admitted it. >> was fake. it was made. >> up data. >> and lost his medical license and couldn't practice medicine. yet bobby kennedy. >> has built a career. >> spreading the disinformation, and so he and others, his children's defense network, are as. much to blame for this as anybody else. you know, parents who. >> get legitimate. >> medical information from their primary care doctor. understand that, you know,

the secretary kennedy has yet to say the people the effective way to deal with measles is to get the vaccine. he hasn't said that yet, and that's proven science. and in 2000, in this country, we were supposed to be measles free. and now in texas, over 120 cases. wow. as you mentioned, one person has died and two. and in the paper today, what they are saying, the medical professionals, is that this situation is not going to be over anytime soon. and yet, the person of health and human services, kennedy, has yet to say the most effective way to deal with this subject matter is to get a vaccine. how difficult is that? >> it seems difficult for them. but let me ask you this. finally, congressman, your republican colleagues on oversight committee are planning to call the mayors of several large sanctuary cities to capitol hill this wednesday. some democrats are concerned the gop are planning showy attacks on the mayor's, patterned after the hearings targeting ivy league presidents in 2023. you were mayor of houston for eight years, which is not a sanctuary city, but you certainly have exp

look at the kennedy time when the soviets wanted cuba, what did kennedy say? if you come, it will start a third world war. then the russians pushed back and discussed. why do they want to push toward russia into war? the ukraine war started because they wanted ukraine to be part of nato and russia said no. it is not in our interest. the war started. host: got your point. we will go to cindy in pennsylvania on the line for republicans. caller: how are you? i am calling to say that i think president trump did an awesome job yesterday. that man was not thankful. he had billions of dollars of war. i am a taxpayer. i want that money back. it is not fair. i know people are being killed. but president trump has to be really strong just like john f. kennedy was during the cuban crisis. you have to be tough. you cannot be a wimp and he isn't. i know he wants peace. everything was settled but this guy is backing out. he is a little dictator and i believe that. he does not care that much for his people. i think if he would sign the agreement and start the process because

that prompted a stern and somewhat unexpected admonition from one republican senator from john kennedy> you're all adults. >> you're all. >> officers of the court. >> some will give you. >> some advice. >> i may. >> be. >> wrong. >> but i doubt it. don't ever. >> ever take the. >> position that you're not. going to follow. the order of. a federal. >> court, ever. >> now, you can. disagree with it. within the. bounds of legal ethics. >> you can. >> criticize it. >> you can. appeal it. or you can resign. >> joining us now is illinois senator dick durbin. he is the second highest ranking democrat in the senate. he's the ranking member on the senate judiciary committee. senator durbin, it's a rare pleasure to be able to have you here on the show tonight. thank you so much for making time. >> thanks, rachel. good to be with you. >> i know that you have had a strong reaction to those nominees, playing with the idea that donald trump doesn't have to obey court orders. in an interview today, you called it breathtaking. you said it raises serious existential constitutional questions. we've got

and today, a top resignation from a top aide to kennedy. thomas corry, who is a spokesperson for the hhs department, stepped down from his role effective immediately. ashley allison, as this outbreak is, you know, unfolding, this child has died. vaccination rates, which we can we can put up on the screen for people childhood vaccination rates since 2019, 2020 have taken a sharp dive. that, of course, coinciding with the covid pandemic. you can see it here. it does seem that rfk jr.. felt he needed to say something about this, but could not go so far as to say you should get your kids the mmr shot. it's an easy way to make sure they don't die from measles. why? >> because he doesn't believe in vaccines. and that is why when you have interviewed him before and you have pressed him on this issue and he's tried to circle around and not answer. >> he told me that he didn't say that. he didn't say that. he said i said, you don't you believe vaccines are safe and effective? and he said, no, i never said that. and i said, yes. >> yes you did. roll
