there were people, as we stopped in these little towns, i know bobby kennedy. ed with bobby and john kennedy's campaign. i called him and i said, we expect protection. he said, we'll see what we can do. we have to see which side the law comes down on. i said whether a black and a white person can travel together in the united states or whether you have to kill them. why don't you call department of justice injustice if you are not sure about that yet? in any event, they did have an fbi agent with us on occasion. he never did anything. we were in alabama and a group of people came charging on yelling there is the n and there is the n-lover. let's get them. they came charging on the bus. percy and i were each a little over 6 feet tall and pretty good shape then. we had heavy attachi case. i said, do you believe in nonviolence? he said i'm an attorney i believe in self-defense. they saw us standing there. they said that the first couple guys would get clobbered. and they got off the bus. we were lucky. >> reporter: there are so many interesting cases that i would l

essentially that message joining me now is my pap and tony attorney and co-host of ring of fire radio bobby kennedy mike welcome back to the program. great what's the essence of these revelations vanity fair this week . but i think you drill down to it it comes out of the simple question it is of the real question if you have nothing to hide why don't you put your money right here in america the average american has a checking account right here in america they have a.t.m. here in america did they get their loans here in america they have their savings accounts are american if you don't have anything to hide why don't you do that we do know this the three primary reasons if you drill down on the three primary reasons the folks betting offshore comes down to avoid subjecting their money to tax in forced mint ok they want to call it tax avoidance it's actually tax evasion most of the time they want to create a camouflage trail tom where it's virtually impossible to tell where the money came from and then the third part is to create a shell game where they can move money from one shell to the next she

kennedy breaking the news to some money. john lewis, you were there. >> i cried with so many other people. i said to myself, "we are still here, bobbie back to atlanta and attended the funeral. robert kennedy and hundreds and thousands of others were there. after the funeral was over, ipad bac on the kennedy campaign -- i went back and got on the kennedy campaign. later, went to california. i campaigned for kennedy. it was a wonderful actor. we went all over los angeles going into wealthy neighborhoods, knocking on doors, urging people to vote for body. that evening, the primary was over the kennedy came up and said, "john, i'm going downstairs to make my victory statement. why don't you remain?" i was in the suite with his sister and several other individuals. we were listening to body -- to boggy. in moments, minutes later, it was announced he had been shot. a drop to the floor and cried and cried. i just wanted to get out of los angeles but i left the next morning to atlanta. i think i cried all the way from los angeles to atlanta. i came back to new york for the funeral. before the funeral, i stood as an under guard. then i rode

after bobby kennedy, they tried to control handguns . people have a right to handguns and hunting rifles. but not machine gun quazy that can shoot hundred bullets. i think the democrats are. i think there is support for moderate for if they separate it >> chris: good luck on that. >> put more pressure on moderate republicans. the republicans from new york and california . president obama could do what president clinton. president obama is unwilling to take a strong stance. >> chris: when we come back. where the shooting in colorado leaves the presidential race. >> chris: check out "fox news sunday" for behind the scenes features and special monday preview of the week ahead. you can find it on "fox news sunday" and be sure to let us know what you think. stay tuned for more from our panel. >> i stand before you today not as a man running for office. but as father, grand father and husband and american. >> there will be other days for politics. this i think is a day for prayer and reflection. >> president obama and governor romney putting p

the only time he ever asked, after bobby kennedy was killed about gun control. and nothing's happened. >> that's right. nothing happens because people forget. they move from one story to the next. they don't see one single solution to the problem. they see there's not been action and assume nothing can happen because of the gun laws. >> you think if everybody could vote online, everybody could vote over 18, would we have gun control if we had a plebiscite, do you believe that? >> i think if you have a measured action, we did that in colorado. we put the measure to close the gun show loophole in colorado after columbine. when the legislature wouldn't do it, we did it. put it on the ballot. 70% for the pro-state. why? easier for the gun lobby to buy, bully and badger 51 out of 100 legislators than it is to get to all the voters in colorado. give them something reasonable. >> let me go to mark halperin, my colleague. i heard recently, young people who can vote 18 to 21, they are more for gun rights than elders. this is not moving in the gun control direction, mark.

we have seen bobby kennedy assassinated, martin luther king assassinated, we have seen the democratic national convention turned into a war zone. i think part of johnson's calculation was what it would do to the country to have an outgoing president accused -- a major party candidate -- accused of sanitizing peace negotiations at the most delicate moment. it was an extraordinary moment of confrontation. ultimately, johnson decides not to challenge nixon about it. that election was very close. four years later, you understand all the resons that johnson had to keep nixon very happy. during the transition, he showed him where the tape recorders were in the white house. [laughter] it was one of the reasons that we got the clubhouse, wike overstreet of johnson's birthday party, wike sent a jet down to the ranch with briefing papers every week. he really wanted to keep johnson in the know. >> ladybird grove cement they created a special force for her to pay her much to johnson. >> in january 1973, nixon's men called johnson said you might want to call your friends in the senate and just te

kirsten, the reason there is a change -- 1968, when bobby kennedy was assassinated, they controlled handgunsnd, people have a right to handguns and hunting rifle and i don't think we have a right to semi -- quasi-machine guns, to shoot 100 bullets at a time and i think the democrats are being foolish, as they are being cowardly. i think it is more support for moderate gun control if they separate it clearly from a desire to take away everyone's handguns or hunting rights. >> chris: all right, good luck with that, bill. >> i'm giving helpful advice to people and you can put more pressure on moderate republicans, it is not as if republicans from new york an illinois and california couldn't be -- president obama didn't couldn't do what president clinton did in the '90s and put pressure on them and president obama on this is unwilling to take a strong stance. >> chris: we have to take a break, you are stealing from yourself in the next segment! when whee come back, where the shooting in colorado leaves the presidential race. ♪ you want to save money on car insurance? no problem. you want to save

. >> since bobby kennedy and martin luther king were murdered in 1968, more than a million americansen killed by gun violence. that's through homicides, suicides, and accidental shootings. this is an insane level of violence. and, you know, the frustrating thing is that we have these terrible stories, like the one you're covering tonight, and really in another 24 or 48 hours we'll be on to something else and nothing really will be done about this. >> you know, part of it we'll have to do collectively, we're going to have to have are faith in one another and i know that that might seem tough. i was listening to chief of police dan oates out there in the community how to come together, how to put up everywhere that we go a metal detector? >> it requires leadership. and i'm not sure where that leadership is going to come from. because it's not going to come from -- i don't think, from our elected officials at the highest level of government. maybe you're talking about civic faith. maybe it has to come from the local level. you have to have people out there making the case like you're ta

the excitement of that time, there is only three years, i remember one time bobby kennedy was lamenting jfk had three years and my husband said, don't worry, bobby, julius sea star only had three years and bobby turned to him, yeah but it is nice if you have shakespeare to write about you. >> it will always be hard for him. >> which raises another issue about successful presidencies, it is said that bill clinton had bemoaned the fact that during his presidency he did not have a historic event he could show what he was made out of. >> well, that gets back to how much a president really does makes his times i think doris is absolutely right about how much john kennedy grew. throughout most of this first temple, he said to his aids, civil rights, i can't do anything about that. too controversial, second term. nuclear test ban treaty i will be crucified, put that in the second term but the point is, he grew and he realized these things could not wait, so that by the summer of 1963, he was saying, if i lose a second term because of civil rights or test ban treaty, won't like it but it will b
