chris matthews, the author of the new biography on bobby kennedy "bobby kennedy: a raging spirit" isf chris's new book. and chris, i read this book, and i think of 1968, this campaign, which is what this picture is -- that's from the presidential campaign. donald trump graduates from college when this guy's running for president. he graduates from college at one of the most interesting times in our lives. there are many political influences out there for him to pick up at that time. and i look at him today, and i wonder, you know, what -- were his eyes open at all in that time? >> no, i think he went to sheer business school. just business. i don't think he took the amenities, history, philosophy, no, none of that. he was interested in a buck, nas where he was in terms of his education, and yet -- you and i -- you're younger than me, i don't know anybody that wasn't for mccarthy or kennedy. the one for humphrey, how did you miss the boat? didn't you get the memo? supposed to be against the war. it was the most exciting time of my life politically. there was a zest in the air. i was a

how does america get somebody like bobby kennedy to want to be in politics in this climate?here's a patriotism where you like the country because it's been good for you. then, there's gut patriotism, where you feel it when the star-spangled banner is playing. and you get gut conservatives in your stomach and your heart. it's real. that's what i grew up with. i accept that on the side. other people are too sophisticated about the country. and condescending to regular people. what's this thing with clinging to guns and religion? what do you mean by that? knob hill, in the nicest part of san francisco, with all of the rich people, talking about the little people. gary hart years ago, talking to a gay group in l.a., and not a solid waste dump in new jersey. that's a cool line. when my father heard that. why is he making fun of us to sell himself to a sophisticated, well-educated group. why did hillary talk about deplorables. i'm telling you, republicans do it, too. the 47%. and archie bunker. hollywood started this in the '70s. let's make fun of the irish guy that lives in queen

as you know, bobby kennedy thought about running before gene mccarthy announced. and bobby decided against it. then he was never comfortable with his decision, he kept going back and forth. gene mccarthy had some success in new hampshire. and chris, i was in high school. i thought gene mccarthy won new hampshire. and i thought that for decades after the fact. >> that's the way it played. >> because that's the way it played. turns out he came in a very strong second, as you know, bobby kennedy jumps into the race, lyndon johnson says, i quit. as you know, every single possible candidate in 1968, every one of them, was worried about one candidate. and that one candidate was bobby kennedy. nixon was afraid of him. lbj was afraid of him. gene mccarthy was afraid of him. everyone was. >> let's talk about the results. i voted for humphrey. but i thought i did so because of civil rights and because i thought ed muskie was one hell of a running mate. you probably did too. i thought nixon, tricky dickey, would get us out of the war, he'd say that's the democrat war, i'm ge

because bobby kennedy's book is about moral leadership. moral leadership means that there are no such things as alternative facts. moral leadership means you're the president of the entire united states. you're supposed to be out there trying to help everyone. and so the moral leadership of bobby kennedy, i think, is absolutely the heart and soul what have the democratic party is. i'm a huge fan of claire mccaskill's and we're going to -- we already are working hard to make sure she gets re-elected. because -- what she has been doing is something that the democratic party needs to do more of. she has been all over the state, in every zip code. we didn't pay enough attention to certain parts of all too many states. and we have to do that. and again, by way of example, in virginia, we have a presence everywhere. we are out there talking to people because, frankly, the message that health care is a right for all and not a privilege for a few, it resonates in roanoke and it resonates up in fairfax. it resonates in rural missouri and it resonat

it is what mccarthy and bobby kennedy agonized over and acted on.licans are wondering if there is a leader in their midst to follow that path to eventually challenge president trump. joining me now is author chris matthews. the book is bobby kennedy, a raging spirit. it debuted at number two on the best seller list. is there an rfk type leader today? >> no. i think we can keep looking for one. i think the democrats had an empty bench because they thought hillary would be president for eight years and that turned out not to be the case. so they're left without a first string to throw out to the country. i think what makes bobby the untrump was that he focused on empathy. he really did care about people in trouble. he cared about mccarthy, joe mccarthy when he became an old drunk, killing himself with booze. he went out and looked for people to care about. he went out to the police miss delta and looked for kids with distended stomachs and living on molasses all day. he cared about the poor whites. he didn't dismiss they will as archie bunkers or depl

bobby kennedy and your spirit running against donald trump this year you have a good candidate, very good candidate. bobby is more interesting than jack because he is accessible. and that overlooked -- a friend of mine, his love life with women was pretty amazing that way, he said people don't mind being used, they mind being discarded. isn't that everything? discarded. this archie bunker thing in the early 70s making fun of white working people, kissed them goodbye. deplorable, you tend to hear it. i cling to my religion, i am a little person voting for the other guy this time. we need unity again and this is my guy, thank you.

it is called bobby kennedy, a raging spirit. chris matthews is the author of the book. chris is here with us this morning. >> i love that you're coming back here. so you have written about j.f.k. talk about what you found so fascinating about his brother. >> his brother was really the boss -- not the boss but bobby was the brains. he pushed civil rights really hard. when there was a hot issue that really mattered he was really the smart guy. i find it fascinating. i always wondered growing up how could he be such a good guy on civil rights and things like that. there is a picture on the back of the book that shows a white poor family. you can tell by their clothes they are really hard up saluting his train as it goes by. there are a lot of pictures like that. like 20,000 in philadelphia and this is what both gave to him. i'm saying they both trusted him. we haven't had that in this country. we are working class. a lot of people like trump. african americans still don't like guys like that. he really tried to do that. >> yeah. >> today they tried to divide. dividing work

i know a lot about bobby kennedy. kennedy had a back channel relationship who could have been kgb at the time. but that back channel is the way we got through the cuban missile crisis, because it was him who suggested that we deal with the turkey missiles and trading them from the cuban missiles. another case of nepotism, by the way, bobby kennedy. is it illegal to have a back channel? >> so we have to look lat what this back channel looks like. john kelly when he was dhs secretary came to kushner's defense earlier this year when it came out that kushner may have been trying to set up these back channels. he said, look, people have to do diplomacy in a number of ways. here's where it gets tricky. if there was a way for him to set up a back channel where it couldn't be secured, where things were either being traded quid pro quo or the u.s. didn't know about that or in a way this information wouldn't have been secure, in other words, the u.s. wouldn't know about its own diplomatic conversations, but another country like
