the cia handler i want to meet with bobby kennedy. i want to hear from him that you all have the approval in this plotting against castro. that you have the approval of highest american authorities.id bobby did not meet with him. but the man i mentioned earlyied mr. fitzgerald met with him in a safe house in paris.ent nt told him that he was bobby's personal representative.ure the double agent went back and told fidel now we know for sure that bobby kennedy, no doubt speaking with the approval of his brother wants you to beremak killed. this is one of the most remarkable findings of my research. >> brie bryan what kind of the united states hadw, over the years in cuba?ythi >> it's hard say and it's difficult for me to admit toia anything specific, i'm obvious sworn to protect sources and mim methods. this book was cleared by the ci with minimal changes. c a dozen words or so, but todayan cuba, i don't think, i've been retired for 14 years, i can't say what kind of assets the cia has today targeted on cuba, but i would imagine that cuba

entity has the tape recorder will vicki goetze on the phone and talks to bobby kennedy. kennedy at this point is thinking okay, we think a plane has been shot down. now what do we do? is going through, do we do airstrikes parties thing about all these things about the political pressures he's going to be faced with and this comes a. it's a remarkable if you get your a president in real-time struggling through okay, now what do we do? do we retaliate? do we send our planes over knocked out there into something like that? kennedy was handed a reprieve. it was a false alone. they cuban maids have scrambled but they hadn't shot down an american plane. you get this remarkable sense of the tension of what ken is still facing. this is a week after the 13th day. you get a sense of how close military action still was during this period. >> host: one thing has become clear, kennedy was acutely fearful of escalation and how future generations would look if they lost control of the situation as it happened in 1914 except now with nuclear weapons and, of course, on the 27th, the conti

, shipped off to china, is really quite humorous to be written whole thing and i want to thank bobby kennedy jr.. robert kennedy jr. for writing to important chapters in the book including the takeover, the hostel takeover of america and the good chapter on ballot staff. there are nine ways -- though one of the subtitles is how to steal an election in 9 easy steps and we take you through you. i want to give you some numbers. don't take it down, just get the book. all proceeds are nonprofit. it's official, in 208,750 and 50,023 provisions never counted, 1,451,116 ballots were spoiled and 488,136 absentee ballots were cast and not counted as the 2.7 million ballots in the dumpster. that was last time and this time it will be bigger. then, 3.2, 3.2 million people, american citizens were removed from the voter rolls broke kinds of wonderful and bogus reasons, purged. in fact for those of you who do not know greg palast, most people here do know that i broke a story back in 2000 about how kathryn harris and jeb bush knocked off tens of thousands of black folk off the voter rolls, calling them bal

valley land investigation and then when nixon didn't win the election and sixty of the first thing bobby kennedy did was reinitiate that investigation i mean it's just it's like whoa and i think tom you know he's worried you know what we don't do democrats are so afraid to go ahead and pull the trigger sometimes we have them on the run we had coal rove we had him we've had call rove to where he could have been indicted one at least two occasions we had rumsfeld during the iran contra event but we let him go we had those we had all of those war hawks during the iran contra event but we let him go we have a tendency to say let's let him go this time and maybe they'll change the truth is they never change karl rove will never change and if we have a chance to go back and say look listen we want investigations we want to keep up the investigation of adelson all these billionaires who wanted to buy their way out of investigation they didn't succeed and now we need to continue putting pressure on them there needs to be some people that are made in. sample of call rove one of them yeah absolutely gerry

right after jack kennedy died he had gotten the ball rolling lyndon johnson picked it up with bobby kennedy pushing him really really hard and we had the voter the civil rights act the motors rights act we we we broke through that we busted up jim crow or at least the law and it's been some years and do you think that this might mean that that was a waking up moment for the democratic party bill moyers tells the story of taking the legislation into president johnson president johnson saying you know if i sign this bill our party's going to lose the south for a generation i'm going to do it anyway it's the right thing to do do you think that the democratic party that this might be a wake up moment for them that they that they might realize that they actually won a lot bigger four years ago than they thought they did in that this time if it's a squeaker or even to the not it should have been a much bigger election victory you know i would like to hope that this would be a turning point at least on one aspect at least on the voter suppression aspect you know because because these these picture

and george mcgovern bell labs or truly chairs of the insurgent democrats the transformation of bobby kennedy took from the brother of the president to the only politician that really could stand with dr king and cesar chavez at the end of his career to take about our and bring it inside the democratic party to transform the party to be that voice we wanted so desperately to be to defend the program so that be so sturdy medicare medicaid these are democratic programs we shouldn't be in the halls of congress today defending them and telling democrats to stand up we should be proud of them we should be talking about not just this whole question of austerity but prosperity what are we going to do to move this whole debate away from this bogus argument of a fiscal cliff it's a bogus we're going to get it so that's what p.t. is about to take that energy make our president be the president we so desperately want him to be. we had his back now we need to get in his face that's what p.t. is about to get his back now i need to get in his face i love that so if somebody takes seriously my implication o

that's that's just fundamentally wrong pappe you you do a radio show with robert kennedy jr with bobby kennedy every week you are in law practice with him you are very very politically astute so is he i'm curious your just overview your analysis your political analysis of what's happening tonight in the in the elections well i think what's happening is this you have to the republicans picked too many wars you can't pick a war on women a war on labor a low war of the poor of war on minorities a war on the auto industry you can't you can't choose all these wars a war an intellectual ism a war on gender choice you have too many wars going on and what it did is it took them away from the single focus if you recall we've all heard those magic words that came from james carville's mouth during the clinton years and that is it's the economy stupid they were incapable of focusing on that because they had a hearty that has become dysfunctional dissolve it had been taken over by the lunatics who have been taken over by the fringe lunatics such as that is the weird in evangelical right the tea bag moveme

king, bobby kennedy the wild convention in chicago, woodstock and that sort of thing. it is by no means unique that makes pretty much the same argument that i do i don't have a huge coral with that. in terms of world shattering memorable events then it began to vanish from a view in a hurry. there are real reasons you asked me that but it is why. >> i agree the central year and we could talk about the '60s two talked-about transforming america to say america is not the same after 1965? there is something at stake that 65 bid is meaningful and there is a way one could argue it is not but to have the watershed year is that correct? >> pretty much. not to take it too far but to something starts on january 1st then it is all done to see a lot of things happening in 1965 like the women's movement. you do have the beginnings of it the feminine mystique publish 1963 but but now zero and tell later the same thing is true with television shows and movies. not until 1967 you hear the graduate nor bonnie and clyde nortel the early '70s with all of the family. television is much m

he knew, therefore, not only that the cia was trying to kill him, to kill castro, but that bobby kennedyerefore, jack kennedy, were behind the plotting. >> did you meet with him? >> i interviewed him here in miami a few years ago. he shared -- he shared interspection with me. i asked him in particular why did you want to meet bobby kennedy? he told a cia handler, who i also interviewed, by the way, told the handler that i want to meet with bobby kennedy. i want to hear from him that, that you all have these approval in the plotting against castro, that you have the approval of the highest american authorities. he did not meet with him, but the man i met earlier did, and he met with him in the cia safe house in paris, told him he was bobby kennedy's personal representative so the double agent went back and told fidel now we know for sure bobby kennedy, no doubt speaking with the approval of his brother, wants you to be killed. this is one of the most remarkable findings of my research.úgr >> brian latell, what assets has the united states over the years had in cuba? >> that's very hard to

joe kennedy, i hope i have my numbers right on this one, but the grandson, i believe of rob -- bobby kennedyhave had another kennedy family member say to me, this will be joe kennedy the third will be the next kennedy in the united states senate. what is interesting about this, lots of speculation that john kerry could be the next secretary of state. you know what that would lead to? within six months we could have a special election in massachusetts for another u.s. senate. >> interesting how that happens sometimes. we showed the screen, what is that about? >> very quickly, i know you love this thing, the most expensive electoral vote, we thought we would let you know what it was between the parties. in the state of iowa, maybe more money spent in virginia, but per electoral votes, $12 million for the electoral votes. i think people should know that the virginia senate race cost almost $80 million, the massachusetts senate race, just over $70 million, a little perspective here, 12 years ago. bush and gore, when they ran for president both spent less than that just on their general election

day by nancy pelosi and those she inspires will, will bend the arc of history towards justice as bobby kennedyed it. thank you, ma'am, for not taking the easy way. thank you for your battle scars scars that will show that you are willing to fight worthy battles on our behalf. so why exactly did nancy pelosi decide to stay on for leader of the house for democrats? we'll turn to someone she really knows, war room christine pelosi who happens to be nancy pelosi's daughter and chair of the california democratic women's caucus. thank you for being here on this great day. >> this is a great day. i'm very proud. it seems forever ago in political time, that as your daughter i want you to do what you feel in your heart is right. you have done it. you've proved it. you've been there. you've been speaker. you can do whatever you want to do. >> jennifer: she could retire, rest on her laurels. >> and i said as an activist i really want you to stay. as a woman's right's activist why is it after an election the men stay. why do the women have to go? we're looking at that safety net. why don't we have a woman

and you know, what bobby kennedy called the ripples of hope that come out when you throw a stone in ag to be you. i'm just looking around the room and i'm thinking, wherever you guys end up in whatever states or capacities the prophet sector or the not-for-profit or some of you decide to go into public service, you're just going to do great things. and that's why, even before last night's results, i felt that the work that i had done, in running for office, had come full circle. because what you guys have done means the work that i'm doing is important. and i'm really proud of that. i'm really proud of all of you. and -- what you guys -- what you guys accomplished will go on in the annals of history and people will read about it and marvel about it, but the important thing to know is your journal is just beginning. you're just starting. whatever good we do over the next four years will pale in comparison to what you guys end up accomplishing for years and years to come. and that's been my source of hope. that's why during the last four years when people ask me about you know, how do y

king and bobby kennedy. you had democratic party's wild convention in chicago. so a lot of books on 68, woodstock and also months and that sort of thing. so i'm afraid my book is by no means unique. there's also a book on 1964, which makes pretty much the same argument as i do, only he sets a year earlier. i don't have been a huge quarrel with that. i wouldn't say i'm the only person who's right about this, the 65 did seem to be the time, not that it was the most romantic. 68 probably was in terms of world shattering, memorable events. but it was a time when the 50s and early 60s rapidly vanished or began to vanish from view and a hurry. the real reason, that's why. >> i think i've pretty much agree with you that the central year is 1965. but there's something more at stake in your book, at least i think so. i want to prove i'm not. in a way we can either be talking about the 60s and just talking about were 65 hits in the 1960s, but there's a claim in the book on 1965 transformed america. so in that statement that seems to be you are saying that america is not t

and when bobby kennedy called the ripples of hope that come out when you throw a stone in a lake, that's going to be you. i'm just looking around the room and i'm thinking wherever you guys end up, in whatever states, in whatever capacities, whether you're in the private sector or the not for profit or some of you decide to go into public service, you're just going to do great things. and that's why even before last night's results, i felt that the work that i had done in running for office had come full circle. because what you guys have done means that the work that i'm doing is important. i'm really proud of that. i'm really proud of all of you. [ applause ] what you guys accomplished will go on and be in the annals of history and people will read about it and marvel about it but the most important thing you need to know is that your journey's just beginning. you're just starting. and whatever good we do over the next four years will pale in comparison to what you guys end up accomplishing for years and years to come. and that's been my source of hope. that's why over the last four ye

and, you know, the what bobby kennedy called the ripples of hope that come out when you throw a stone in a lake. that's going to be you. i'm just looking around the room thinking, wherever you end up, in whatever states, in whatever capacities, whether in the private sector, not-for-profit or you decide to go into public service, you're just going to do great things. that's why even before last night's results, i felt that the work that i have done, um, in running for office had come full circle. because what you guys have done means the work that i'm doing is important. i'm really proud of that. i'm really proud of all of you, and -- and what you just -- [ cheers and applause ] >>> this is a man who laid it on the line for what he believes in. he knows those in that room and millions like him care about the middle class in this country and the future of america. >>> coming up, senator sherrod brown on his victory over dark money in the buckeye state. share your thoughts with us on twitter. we're coming right back. this. yes i do. i want you to keep this. it'd be weird. take care. you

and i've always thought that to a large degree, it was bobby kennedy's unfinished candidacy. enthusiasm, the emotion of the electorate, of his supporters. >> during the primaries, obama's kennedy-esque ability to inspire voters wasn't lost on the kennedys themselves. overriding a long history with the clintons, ted kennedy endorsed obama. >> every time i've been asked, over the past year, who i would support in the democratic primary, my answer has always been the same. i'll support the candidate who inspires me, who inspires all of us, who can lift our vision and summon our hopes and renew our belief that our country's best days are still to come. >> did you get the sense that he was not physically, but sort of spiritually passing the torch to president obama? >> well, teddy didn't like to pass any torches on, so i think that he was so thrilled to have a partner. i think he thought the future would be so fantastic for him and all the issues that he cared about. >> i remember another such time in the 1960s when i came to the senate at the age of 30. we had a new president who

later on you have nixon, the assassination of martin luther king and bobby kennedy, the democratic party is wild convention in chicago so a lot of books on 68 and in 69 and that sort of thing. there's also a very good book on 1964 which makes pretty much the same argument as i do you sense did a year earlier, and i wouldn't say if look i'm the only person that's right about this, but 65 did seem to be the time of who was the most dramatic, 68 probably was in terms of the world shattering events, but it was a time when the 50's and the early 60's rapidly vanished from or began to vanish from view in ariana the reasons you will probably ask me that, that's why. >> i pretty much agree with you that there's something more at stake in your book at least i think so. in any way we could even be talking about the 60's and just talking about where 65 fits into the 1960's but there is a claim in your book about how 1965 transformed america. and so they're in that statement it seems to be that you are saying that america is not the same after 1965 and that is what makes 1965 unique. so there is som

. >> let's talk about that because how that happened to the party of martin luther king and bobby kennedy to think about. the progressives act like they're too cool, too hip to talk about moral issues in a country where 95% of the american people say they believe in god. traditionally, the conservatives talk about private morality, god knows they do. traditionally, progressives talked about public morality. economic justice is a moral issue. our child poverty rate is a moral issue. our high incarceration is a moral issue. preemptive war is a moral issue. this extraordinary mill tarrism that becomes this boot force pattern by which we seek to solve all problems should be a moral issue. the fact that building prisons is one of the largest urban industries. this is a moral issue. so this idea that so many progressives have that we stay away from deep spiritual and philosophical concerns i think is not only a big mistake for progressives but i believe that it means that -- it not only means the left is failing to -- i think sister giant is more than happy to take on the story of the united st

nixon's election, the assassination of martin luther king and bobby kennedy. the democratic party's wild convention in chicago. so, a lot of books on '68, a lot of '69, woodstock and altamont and that sort of thing. so, i'm afraid my book is by no means unique. there's also a very good book on 1964, which makes pretty much the same argument as i do, only he sets it a year earlier. i don't have any huge quarrel with that. i wouldn't say, look it, i'm the only person that's right about this. but '65 did seem to be the time, not the most dramatic. '68 probably was in terms of world-shattering memorable events. but it was a tame when the 50s and the early '60s rapidly vanished from -- began to vanish from view in a hurry, and the real reason is -- you'll probably ask me that but that's why. >> host: i think i pretty much agree with you that the central year, for the '60s, is 196 5. but there's something more at stake in your book. at least i think so. i want to probe on that. in a way you can either be talking about the '60s and just talking about where '65 fits i

kennedy aide. he was rejected by the senate because he had been a conscientious objector during world war ii. bobby ray inman,ho had a distinguished naval career, he was rejected in the first bush administration. so, you know, it's not going to necessarily be all that easy to fill this post. >> michael crowley of "time" magazine, we know that general petraeus was due to appear or is due to appear on thursday before a congressional committee that's investigating what happened in benghazi. do you think that this resignation will have an affect on whether he appears in person or will that job be taken on this occasion by his deputy? >> i don't know the answer to that, martin. i wouldn't want to venture a wild guess. i would say that that was going to be a difficult and awkward appearance for petraeus. it will be if he still goes. probably the most difficult political moment of his career. some of the recent reporting on what happened in benghazi suggests that if there was a security lapse, the cia may well have been to blame. that the state department consulate was also being guarded by cia forces tha
