i had not been a great bobby kennedy fan in the early days because when the president... his brother was president, they had appointed a lot of segregationist jobs, judges, in the south, and secondly, they had wiretapped dr. king. and i had remembered him as well from the mccarthy hearings. >> hinojosa: you were kind of angry. >> i was kind of angry, and i thought this was a nice, arrogant, cigar-chomping man who was coming down, so i didn't have time for him, and he turned out to be this really nice man, just as robert kennedy turned out to be this very nice, open, funny, caring man who was transformed by his brother's death. and the thing that i remember most about robert kennedy is he could transmit so much just through a touch. i would watch him just touch the cheeks of children or to, you know, try to get feelings out of them or when he liked something, he would just give you a pat. but at any rate, he came, and i don't know where it came from that i would not talk about head start. i would talk about hunger because people were starving in mississippi and malnourished, and there

when asked to do the memorial for bobby kennedy, we saying is that we sent for fully half an hour.er we lost what was known as the peace clank, at the convention, i started to sing and that went on for quite a while. john chancellor, who is working the floor than, like a martian with an antenna coming out covered his mic and said, not supposed to take sides, but keep it up, this is great. and then on the wednesday of the convention, a couple hundred of us went down michigan avenue because we wanted to show solidarity with the kids who are being beaten up in the park. and i saying -- sang, "we shall not be moved" and i had a loudspeaker thing in my hand and i sang "tell richard daley he shall be removed. tell richard daley he shall be removed, just like a pellet garbage in the alley." i was expected to be arrested if any moment, but there were too many witnesses around. there were national guardsmen with bayonets pointing at us. i said look at this carefully, we are american citizens discharging our lawful duty and we are being threatened by guns and bandits. don't forget it, rememb

lbj gets out and that clears the way for bobby kennedy to come in.been for that bullet maybe bobby kennedy becomes the nominee. is that the scenario that hillary loses to bernie sanders in iowa or new hampshire and suddenly that's the opening? >> going back to the point april said about money, early on what happened was a bunch of obama supporters came to us and said they're not happy with the clinton campaign or potential clinton presidency. one of our huge supporters sat there and said i was trying to write a letter about why i was supporting hillary clinton and it took me hours and hours and hours. he could not figure out a reason why to tell his friends and associates to support hillary clinton. literally an hour later after we said vice president, a letter for why he has been a champion for civil rights his family and all the way around in the different issues. >> by the way, have you talked to biden about this? >> no. >> if he steps in if he were to step in how much money -- >> give you his cell phone number. >> love you really well right now.

king and bobby kennedy were killed we had the riots in chicago and it led to the election of richard nixon and his re-election by a landslide proportion. but nixon was always his worst enemy and became the greatest scandal in america history in which he was forced to resign. i could not say one or the other was more important. they were kind of of a piece. and i was again, lucky to be in the middle of them. >> 1968 was a huge year but 1989 was a huge year and this was the year you were the only network newscaster at the berlin wall for the fall. i love to hear you tell the story because it began with a tip from a friend didn't it? >> we didn't think the wall was going to come down. there was not a lot going on and let's go there. my motto has been it is never a mistake to go. just get on the airplane and go. something will happen. so i didn't think i would be the only one in the world the night the wall fell. an east german official who made the announcement it was a mistake the way he made that announce announcement. i am rushing over to the wall and we have satellite capacity and i

if bobby kennedy was alive today, we would not have all this nonsense.l give you an example -- host: are you saying that by labeling the mexican cartels as organized crime, it is more scare tactics? caller: whoever is in charge on the borders shows favoritism to what they look like. in other words, if you are a good-looking immigrant you get a pass. if you are ugly as sin, you are gone. host: andrew seeley, something you have ever come across? guest: have not come across this. clearly, organized crime is hard to get rid of. it has throughout the history of the united states come in different forms and guises. anyone who has seen "the godfather" knows about versions of this. they have to do primarily with drug trafficking. the day that we managed to get some control over this, i have a feeling that we will see organized crime develop around some other substance that we want to prohibit. it is clearly the way we deal with informal markets. host: these cartels from mexico, are there specific parts of the most, that they have the largest networks in? guest:

30 years later still trying to come to terms with the fact that so many people that supported bobby kennedy, liberal crusader of his time went to george wallace and supported george wallace after his death. now that makes absolutely no sense to you. that makes absolutely no sense to me. and it is repugnant to the kennedy family and anybody that's revered rfk. what is the strain of populism in american politics that pulls voters out of their comfort zone and embrace candidates populous candidates like these that i brought up? >> well because this hour of the morning it's time to talk about richard hoffstetter which is an important thing to do at this hour. >> of course. >> columbia political science wrote a cover story in harper magazine, october 1946464 called the paranoid style of american politics. it's an ancient strain. it is people that feel disaffected and shutout and feel that usually an unnamed kind of elite has rigged the game and foreclosed every possibility for success. and, so they find -- they try to find someone to blame. at the moment we're talking about immigrants. it's been
