she sat down with bobby kennedy in his senate office at the tail end of 1967, and her notes from thatinterview are in the library of congress and they are still a fascinating read. she said bobby, you've got to run, which is perhaps not the best ideal from an objective reporter. the president can only appear on military bases at this point. this is a stand on the national conscience. it was a very rough back and forth. he was reluctant to get in, as when oh, into later on. that's the reason mary really threw her weight and her passion behind gina mccarthy, because he was willing to pick up the antiwar medal at a time when nobody else was. and the fact that he did so well in new hampshire in the primary. for mary was -- but to understand mary and relationship with bobby, my favorite moments in the book in her life was bobby came out and said that there was, made a rather sherman -esque statement that he would not want for president in 1968. through incredibly bad timing he made the statement that same morning as the tet offensive was launched in saigon. because people didn't have cell

she sat down with bobby kennedy in his senate office at the tail end of 1967, and her notes from that interview are in the library of congress, and they're still a fascinating read. she said, bobby, you've got to run. which is, perhaps, not the ideal of an objective reporter -- [laughter] and said you have to do it, you know? the president can only appear on military bases at this point. this is a stain on the national con conscience. and there was a very rough back is and forth. -- back and forth. he was reluctant to get many, as we know, until later on, and that's the reason that mary really threw her weight and passion behind gene mccarthy, because he was willing to pick up the anti-war mantle at a time when nobody else was. and the fact that he did so well in new hampshire in the primary, for mary, was one of stirring moments in american politics. but to understand mary and her relationship with bobby, one of my favorite moments in the book and in real life was bobby came out and said that there was, made a rather sherman-esque statement that he would not run for president in 1968

that was bobby kennedy. everybody who covers history knows that. that is the line he used to cue the press. it was very well known if anybody pays attention to history. obviously ted cruz pays no attention to history. kennedy's grand son responded in an oped writing i find this notion and suggestion that ted cruz is somehow taking up my grand father's mantle absurd. he would be excited about how far we have come as a nation since 1963. he would feel a sense of urgency about the challenges that lie ahead and most certainly would not be a republican. it was reminiscent of this famous moment in the vice presidential debate between dan quail and lloyd benson. >> i have as much experience in the congress as jack kennedy did when he sought the presidency. >> senator, i served with jack kennedy. i knew jack kennedy. jack kennedy was a friend of mine. senator, you are no jack kennedy. >> why would senator who everybody tells me went to princeton and harvard and is very smart be such a dingbat about history inthat is the right word for it? >> i am a reporte

and then four days after the new hampshire primary, jfk's brother, bobby kennedy decided he would jump into the race against lbj. two weeks after that, lbj shocked the country by dropping out of the race all together saying that he would not run for re-election. in 1968 was nuts for a million reasons in u.s. history. right? including the assassination that summer of bobby kennedy including the assassination that spring of martin luther king, including the riots that racked the democratic national convention that year in chicago in august. but by the time lbj was announcing both his regret that he hasn't been able to go further and also his modest accomplishments with that gun reform bill in october of that year, by the time october of that year rolled around, another dynamic had drawn up alongside the two major parties in the race that year. another dynamic that very nearly upended the whole system and freaked a lot of people out. i have to give a note to the control room. what you are putting is the previous crypt to what is edited for tonight's show. i've got the script in front of m

the ymca of south florida will remember king. 50 years ago as a freedom rider nash told bobby kennedy she was ready to die for equal rights after he told protestors to end their trip to alabama. >> we would not be able to have a movement without public accommodations or any civil rights movement without getting a lot of people killed first. so it was essential that the freedom ride tonight. >> part of nash's life was featured in the movie "selma." our own calvin hughes will serve as emcee for both of those events. >>> new video released chicago. your heart loves omega-3s. but there's a difference between the omega-3s in fish oil and those megared krill oil. unlike fish oil, megared is easily absorbed by your body... ...which makes your heart, well, mega-happy. happppr still, megared is proven to increase omega-3 levels in 30 days. megared. >>> more protests against police planned in chicago today. the video shows the 2013 shooting death of17-year-old cedric chapman. his family has been fighting for months to get the video released. the officer who shotim says he saw him turning toward

were was bobby kennedy in a nearby office in the u.s. attorney general's office. could he help? could the civil rights bill that was in congress at the time in '63 potentially help? and the letter came back -- from the people at the american civil liberties union, maybe they can help. this is how she becomes bernard cohen. a very young lawyer with no experience in constitutional law cases. no experience whatsoever in federal court. no experience doing a whole lot of things but some experience, he had a credential and was a narrative of mrs. loving of a case potentially going to the u.s. supreme court. and though he couldn't see how he could possibly win, he couldn't see how he possibly couldn't, right? it had to be a winnable case. now he describes how he had to find a key to break through the door. it was locking him out. he found a key, turned out he needed another key, and he is just absolutely stymied. so he's visiting with his old law professor at his law program in d.c. what drove him to see his old professor was a new letter from mrs. loving, dear mr. cohen, hope you have

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

but bobby kennedy also a senator, assured me kennedy would never pull out of vietnam. according to mike, kennedy told him at one point, i can't do it now in 63, i have to get reelected in 1964. after that, then i will withdraw. withdraw. i will have a phase withdraw. but once he overthrew the president of vietnam, that government collapse was weak. the vietnamese military collapse. so it ended up kennedy was killed 20 days after xeon was killed. so lyndon johnson gets handed the totally collapsed government and army of south vietnam. eventually he made his own decision about not sending in american contract groups. johnson went to his grave arguing that kennedy overthrow the assassination of the, johnson was a big supporter of the end. it was the reason he ended up committing combat troops. >> host: is the author of the new books politics of deception, jfk secret decision of vietnam. thank you so much. >> patterson and steve israel, democrat of new york is also an author, a lot of authors from capil hill. yours is a little different, why is that. >> mine is a novel. ev

the cia's effort to blame castro actually came out of the anti-castro plots against kennedy as bobby kennedy figured out immediately as attorney general. i write about this in both my books including "the devil's chessboard: allen dulles, the cia, and the rise of america's secret government," that is the source of the plot. not castro himself but the anti-castro operation run by the cia with the mafia's help. that is the blow back that killed jfk. fidel castro had nothing to do with jfk's assassination binge >> host: force for the trees discussion, i am off struck by detail you provide which makes it showed don't tell, but to me don't you think that the collaboration begins before world war ii and the national security state was actually born out of world war i and the creation of nazi germany as a feature of u.s. foreign policy and this entire endless war machine is much colder than world war ii? .. >> you know, said later i wasn't fighting for uncle sam. i was fighting for wall street. and you know, you know, he said he was the bigger gangster basically than al capone. so he said war is a

most important, i am running to try to make a point, i stand with lyndon johnson, bobby kennedy, martin luther king, and jimmy carter, and being pro-life. hillary clinton and bernie sanders are pro-abortion radicals. they support abortions in the late-term and they support partial-birth abortions, abortions for population control and they support it for sex selection. we have to understand that 3500 babies died today, 25,000 babies will die this week. 100,000 babies will die this month and over one million will die this year. hillary clinton is not concerned, bernie sanders is not concerned, i am concerned and the great majority of democrats are concerned. the democratic party is not populated by pro-abortion radicals, it is good people who want to support the right to life of every citizen of the united states. mike: thank you. we will go to our second level. >> good evening. i am running for president because we are jeopardizing our children's futures. currently, we have a national debt that is approaching $19 trillion and we are poised to add $500 billion to that figure in 2016. imag

him get paul barton out to play and a couple key games in the early 60s and actually supported bobby kennedynd 58. his wife was conservative republican but in 1968 according to some sources richard nixon loved vince lombardi and asked john mitchell to check in as a possible running mates and mitchell came back and said lombardi is great but a kennedy democrat. >> host: october 1966 what was going on in the country? >> guest: the middle of the vietnam war, very the hammock. you ask that question because it is the center of my book "they marched into sunlight: war and peace" which is about protest at the university of wisconsin against dow chemical co. the turned into a police riot basically and a battle in vietnam was going on in the same 24-hour period in which a battalion of the first infantry division went on a search and destroy mission. everything is up in the air in october of 1967, right after the summer of love in san francisco, the counterculture's strong, the anti-war movement is growing but nobody knows where anything is going to go with war and anti-war. it is a few months before

me ask you this way and i've said this a lot before about how the kennedys could never figure out why the same people that supported bobbyer to wallace. why did a lot of people who voted for reagan twice vote for clinton twice. talk about the nonideological nature of americans who just want somebody outside fighting for them. >> look, i think the most important poll numbers i think in any conversation about trump's support, which is the new phenomenon, is that 66% of them believe that barack obama is muslim. 66%. 27% of them think barack obama is christian. so -- and 60% of them believe barack obama is not a citizen of the united states of america. so if you take them away, if donald trump found away to appeal to people and said himself barack obama is a citizen of the united states, he's not a muslim, he would be running down in the middle of the pack at best. so this phenomenon, what is the trump phenomenon, well, let's begin with two-thirds believe this the president is a muslim. >> with you yhich you might go what you were saying, john ridley, some of the things -- we were talking about all the mexicans streaming acr
