eisenhower refused to meet him, according to bobby kennedy, jr., because he had a golf game so he gave to richard nixon. richard nixon refused any assistance to castro and help the revolution go forward after batista had left the country with $400 million and left them completely broke. 's so richard nixon history come all the way through watergate, he worked with raboso and that a bank and miami where they were laundering money. there was so much corruption and bribery between the mob, the cia, and richard nixon. you get the basis -- there's a great book, and author of the movie, that does watergate "the secret history. when you go back, watergate was not about what we thought it was about. it was about a dossier that fidel castro had given to the chilean government. it was about the assassination attempt on his life and when you talk about the bay of pigs, which bobby kennedy in the movie says richard nixon was the author of and then you talk later about that bay of pigs staying that richard nixon talks about in watergate. they are connected. in the assassination attempts and the cia

based on bobby kennedy making of liberal icon. edys are popular subject. >> i was going say you know that kennedy family someone needs ato make a movie about them. not enough exposure. you need more media about the kennedys. >> did you see jackie with narcoticly port man. >> i enjoyed jackie. >> it was a bit sad. >> and there was -- >> her accent. >> right. >> hi to look up like does she talk like this, this is odd. i don't know. i never heard -- >> did you do the comparison. >> yeah. >> but then wasik good accents but man do does she talk like this, it's we weird. >> we're not going -- fine, sgl we'll talk juglo next week. >> we have a juglo guest. 7:30 a.m. getting ready for what you're doing. >> president trump sound asleep tonight. of course he went on the stremingth of closing deals when he saw three month extension on debt ceiling as a way to bridge relationships with nancy pelosi and shumer with nancy pelosi and error 90 voted against the debt ceiling and the president leaves unskaijed from camp david trump would be asleep.

counterculture movement that climax to the ear with the student protests, the anti-johnson assassinations, bobby kennedy, king. so there was a lot of unrest in a lot of that anger was directed not just words mixing and the vietnamese war and johnson, but for the soldiers who were fighting. that drove him crazy while other performers like bob hope were going over there to there is a major network making money off of it, nothing wrong with that. they did a good service. so he is a good guy. but heston went right to the front, he worked his way to the front and he met with only soldiers, no performing, no pr people. he felt that it was focused on these soldiers and that point the last shred of his labor. the liberal leaning paper torn out and he felt that if it didn't support the men who were fighting for your country, fighting for your free time, fr, there's something wrong with it. and of course, the countercultural movement was all leftist liberal kids who were anti-vietnam in anti-americanism i remember all this because i lived through it. it was to go into a defense of whathe defense ofwhat he felt w.

we learned that from reverend king and bobby kennedy. we carried that into the peace movement that continued after the vietnam war because of the cold war and the multiplication of all of the nuclear weapons. so this was a great concern of mine. i became involved with the peace movement on the east coast and with the brothers and dan became a dear friend and inspiration and so he led me to my first demonstration and nonviolent civil disobedience against "star wars," the reagan idea of putting nuclear weapons in outer space. >> a guy going into a bank with a gun saying give me all your money or i'll shoot. you never figure out how you wul g will get the weapons up there. i became deeply involved with the anti-nuclear movement. you can't really separate any one social justice issue from another. we had to come to an understanding that it will cost you something because it is worthy. if it doesn't cost you something then you are left to question its value. reverend king was of that belief, as well. that was at the foundation of all the arre

that climaxed that year with the student protests, the anti-johnson stuff, the assassinations, bobby kennedy, king, so there was lot of unrest, and much of that anger was directed not just toward nixon and she vietnamese war and johnson, but to the soldiers who were fighting. that drove heston crazy. while other many performerred like bob hope were going there and not really putting themselves in any danger, entertaining troops and bringing some women, showing some legs, this is why you fight and then selling the thing to a major network and making money off of it. there's nothing wrong with that. they did a good service. i'm not knocking bob hope. sacrificed a lot of his christmases and all of that. he's a good guy. but heston went right to the front, worked to the front. and he met with only soldiers. no performing, no pr people. he personally talked to about 400 men, took all their names, and their phone numbers, and promised when he got home he would call their wifes and loved ones, and he did. he came home and he called each and every one of them. at the same time when he came back, the

it was horrifying because there was something about bobby kennedy's assassination after that six-monthefore chicago. >> this is episode 6 and 7. that will be a week from sunday and a week from monday. things fall apart and the veneer of civilization, these two episodes are essentially the year '68. as filmmakers, we were a tiger by the tail. we just had to hang on and just be pulled into this maelstrom. >> the yates poem is overused. i was going to use it today and ruth marcus said, oh, it's so overused. it applies to 1968. read yates' poem. it applies so much to 1968. >> and bobby kennedy cited it in a "new york times" editorial and that gave us the license to do it. >> to the extent the cultural divisions that were made, it seems like they're driving cultural divisions we have today. >> exactly. i have a gi that says vietnam drove a stake through the heart of america and we've never recovered. i've got a pilot who went on to become the head of the air force during the first gulf war but he's a crack fighter pilot. he said all these things were coming together. you had the anti-war pr

king put love in the public square, and mandela, bobby kennedy came around, putting love in the public square. tell me how you would imagine that working these days. and i ask that because people are so cynical nowadays. that if you know you're going to put love in the public square, and you going to be pushed back on or laughed at, how do you process that? crucify, how do you find the courage to do that? >> well, that's part of our faith. the first thing is the faith to have faith in the midst of so much despair. it is to make a clear decision, whether or not i'm going to be a priest of the empire or prophet to the nation. and the movement is going to be priest to the power prophets to the nation. what i have seen, tavis, is that i think about the minority movement. people said to us, even atheists would come and they would say we don't necessarily believe in religious faith, but something about this sounds right. i'm here because the constitution morality starts with the establishment of justice. taking people's health care is not just. taking the right to a living wage is not just.

because bobby, teddy kennedy, they didn't help. they didn't help.le is sticking with us. up next these people tell me something i don't know. vaccine to a child in need through the un foundation. it's that easy to get your flu shot and make a difference. so swing by your local walgreens today. walgreens. at the corner of happy & healthy. you know win control? be this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached. that's why i rent from national. where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. which makes me one smooth operator. ah! still a little tender. (vo) go national. go like a pro. >>> senator bern nip sanders today invealed his medicare for all plan, a proposal that would transition the country to a government run institution. 16 snashts have signed on to cosponsor the bill, including senators elizabeth warren, cory booker and kamala harris. when sander put forth similar legislation in 2013, not a si single democrat signed on as a cosponsor. we're still waiting to see the arith

we came that close doing it bobby kennedy shifted the consensus of the last minute. but when kennedy saw it happen he was completely freaked.he said we have to end this thing. we have to de-escalate. so he fired the cia and had a test ban treaty with the russians, then the beginning of the escalation. and he gave a speech shortly before his death talking about the importance of changing direction in a fundamental way. then three months later he was assassinated in a plot that certainly has the footprints in the fingerprint of elements of the deep state in it. and not willing to look further than that because i do not want to make that assertion but i want you to think about it. then we had another example when nixon was president. in a grantee that he richly deserved being impeached, he was guilty of everything that they said he was in then more. but he clearly wanted a change in the way the world worked. and to transform a policy into a tri-focus including china. clearly, that represented a threat to the establishment. and we know what happened to him. we are accusto

i can say truthfully that the example of jack and bobby kennedy helped guide me into politics. ce of teddy kennedy made me a better public servant once i arrived in washington. i have to imagine it would give them great pride to see a new generation of kennedys like joe , carving their own proud past in public service. [applause] obama: for whatever reason, i received this reward. for whatever the scale of challenges we overcame and the scope of progress we made over my presidency, it is worth pointing out that in many ways , the times that president kennedy confronted were far more perilous than the ones we confront today. he entered the oval office at just 43-years-old, only a few years after khrushchev had threatened to bury america. wars raged around the world. large swaths of the country, knew poverty far deeper and more widespread than we see today. a young preacher's cause was just gaining traction across a land segregated not only by custom but by law. and yet, in that volatile tinderbox of a time, president kennedy led with a steady hand. defusing the most perilous mome

there's another book coming soon about bobby kennedy. >> that is definitely coming.nd i did not set that up. i was trying to help you out. your book is beautiful on the president. thank you peter baker, dan diamond, jenna johnson. >>> the ouster of tom price caps off a very bad week for the trump brand. what's going to hurt trump the most this week? the bad tax bill? everything that's going on in puerto rico? everything, the high flyers in the cabinet living on the taxpayers dime? the failure to repeal obamacare again. the big loss in alabama and maybe it's his response to the devastation in puerto rico that could singe for a while. the head of homeland security says the recovery effort out in puerto rico is a good news story. really? 3.5 million people without power, running water, food and money is a good news story? you are doing a great job, brownie. the white house is already under fire for their response to hurricane maria, and this isn't going to help. congratulating themselves. >>> steve bannon has beaten the president once this week. now looking for more rep

even bobby kennedy is walking into a tough neighborhood. he says your spiritual leader is dead and a white guy did it, but let's talk. what would trump have done? he wouldn't have gone into that neighborhood. trump would have gone to another neighborhood. nobody tries to be a moral authority anymore. nobody tries to say right or wrong. trump never says this is right and that's wrong. he is this is white, maybe, but he doesn't say it's wrong or right. we've lost the moral imperative completely. >> it's usually the role of presidents to try to bridge divides when you are in that situation. when you the largest megaphone in the world, that's what previous presidents have done. president trump, this president has a different impulse. he loves riling people up. he knows the value of this. >> but it's always the same crowd, the peanut gallery. i see him intent on following the president's lead. newt gingrich, he is awful, suggested yesterday the players can't feel oppressed because they're millionaires. let's watch newt. >> watching people who --

never i talk like that they say it is my bobby kennedy fantasy.o do, it is almost always their job and they have to do it in a forward-looking way that says we have a new economy here, the jobs of the past will not exist in the future, but if we don't give people opportunity, where going to have a lot of chaos in the country and political chaos included. francine: e.j. dionne, if we were to have presidential thetions in 2018, who would democratic party put up to stand against donald trump? e.j.: i think you would have to hire out fenway park to fit all of the democrats who want to run 2018, so i have no clue. i think all pundits should get out of the prediction business after the 2016 election, but i think you've got a range of people from elizabeth warren, chris murphy, kamala harris, sharon brown, you're going to have a very big field starting out and a lot of democrats are looking at trump and saying, well if he can do it, i can do it. tom: ok. e.j. dionne, were going to ca continue. and we will continue with howard ward as well. stay with us.

paradox has kennedy even when he goes to indochina in 51 as a congressman, he is about to challenge a senator from massachusetts and he wants to brush up on his credentials. so he and bobbyd his sister have an extended tour of asia and they spent time in indochina. and even there, we know this from his diary and speeches he game in boston, he -- gave in grasped thatready the french were likely to lose but any western power that tried to take on this vietnamese revolution is likely to lose, as well. and i don't think that skepticism ever goes away. so when he takes off for dallas on that last trip, i think he was still skeptical about any kind of military solution in watch, and yet, on his in those thousand days, you have a marked increase in the forican lawful med, only domestic political reasons, he felt vulnerable to charge a softness on communism, and part a natural politicians and could inclination, maybe human nature to put off to the decisions. let's escalate more to see if we can turn things around. paradox in terms of the what if's, i'm suggesting an nsaid have written for ken burns and i recommend a series coming out in september. it about onsay in this question
