to actually be the person who had killed him i'm sorry i was in front of bobby kennedy at the barrel of this gun that was just a footnote have to five feet away of corn into the witness testimony and the autopsy tells us that the fatal shot was fired from an inch behind bobby kennedy's right here so that was really the starting point for the alternative view of the assassination in the early seventy's and in recent years and the only audio recording of the shooting and then the lessons of that has this not just the thirteen shots were fired in the country sinister hand gun only held eight bullets all of those were expended but with five other witnesses are five other bystanders injured in the pantry. shots hitting bobby kennedy's body one going through a shoulder pad two bullet holes found in country door frames and then the audio recording that thirteen shots were fired that pretty clearly establishes in my mind that there were two shooters in the country that night because of the body position and because the syrians mental state at the time i gravely doubt that he was the one who

and when kennedy is not same berlin via bobby, he goes and talk to them directly, and says berlin. he doesn't want to hear about the test banner for the joint projects to the moon. john kennedy proposed a joint project to the moon first before he told the world he would go to the moon. he told the soviets, let's do this together. the soviets were not interested. then he goes publicly and offers this to the world. it toactually offering the soviets first. on the back channel, to me, is more of a reflection that would kennedy is thinking than what it says anything about the soviets. khrushchev does use it to pollute the relationship in the summer of 1962. wasof kennedy's mistakes that this pet channel was very dangerous in this regard. he did not share, bobby kennedy up notesote to about the meetings. he just told his brother orally. his brother did not share this with john mccone, the head of the cia. so, the cia analysts did not know anything about the soviets -- about what the soviets were saying to the kennedys and the back channel. if the soviet analysts had heard in august of 19

when bobby kennedy's body went past the camp and everybody moved. thousands of people came to surround that moment when the casket stopped and the train stopped and people spontaneously began singing the battle hymn of the republic as his body passed. that was huge. even though i didn't believe it, looking at it now, i realize now that bobby kennedy was a man who changed dramatically as a human being, a politician in this country. i did not understand that then. then, he was one of those establishment figures. in retrospect, i understand who he was, what he meant at that moment, and why so many people were crying and singing when his casket passed the camp. i will leave it there. kinshasha: thank you. this is living history. i want to introduce you to aaron bryant, our curator of visual culture and photographer at the museum. he is a brilliant young man who created this exhibition. i want to say one word about the difference of when you put visual history to the lens of visual culture. then i will ask lonnie about one of his favorite subjects. ambig

conversation going and with regard to its use during the missile crisis, some of that conversation from bobby kennedy to -- with dubrynyn was actually a front channel. that's a case where kennedy was actually delivering a specific message to bobby to speak to the persons you want to convey a message to, the ambassador to the soviet union. but i think it's a creative use. it's a recognition that the standard channels that you might use through the state department are not always going to be effective. kennedy wasn't particularly thrilled with the performance of his state department with dean rusk or with the nature of the system itself. so i think it provided him some other options to try to hear from people whose voices aren't heard as frequently, and as we have heard in bits and pieces, it seems as though those channels are being used today with regard to north korea, which sounds like it's an encouraging sign, but it's another way to keep the conversation going privately when publicly doing so would create some real political risks. >> i think the robert kennedy back channel is more interesting as

bobby kennedy was not the same person in 1968 that he was in 1961 and no one in the country was. there were segregationists in 1961 who were not segregationists in 1968. when you look at what happened to people's opinions and their view of the world, bobby kennedy changed an average amount for someone with their eyes open at that time. there were people who went through more dramatic changes, bigger pendulum swings in their lives. and we get into how the 60s changed every one. jean mccarthy and everyone else except for one senator voted for the gulf of tonkin resolution, that was the resolution them, president johnson used to wage full-fledged war. and jean mccarthy ran for president because nick katzen back who had been the hero, the university of alabama when a deputy attorney general, and steamrolling over governor george wallace. a couple years later and under secretary of state, and jean mccarthy is a member, nick katzen back believes declarations of war are outmoded. and to wage war in vietnam at any level he wants to, there is nothing congress can say about it and that was

there was no conceivable political benefit for bobby kennedy to go to north dakota for anything. and he went there to address a convention of the indian tribes that were meeting in north dakota. and he delivers a speech to them in north dakota that is a breathtaking piece because if you read it, and if you stood up out of standing rock at the reservation where i i was last summer during that demonstration and if you read his speech, every word of it would be relevant to what theyum were dog there that day. and he actually quoted chief joseph he gave a speech in 1877 about what chief joseph's hopes for the way the united states, and when you would be able to live together as one tribe under one son and all that. so there's much in his evolution that in here that i think clarifies that question which i think is always the central biographical question about bobby. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> here's a look at some books and published this week. published this week. yale law school professor examines how parties impact our political system in pol

kennedy, bobby kennedy and martin luther king jr. passed the list of those people who could not purchase guns to most convicted fem lons and mentally ill people. in 1986, with the rise of gang and drug violence on city streets, we had the law enforcement officers protection act, which outlawed armored piercing bullets. in 1983 and 1984 after a decade that included the attempted assassination of ronald reagan and outburst of work place shootings, which give us the expression of going post am, we passed the brady handgun act, which implemented a waiting period for handguns and instand background check and also temporarily at the time banned assault weapons. these laws were not perfect. they didn't solve america. they were an attempt by washington to do something in the wake of dangerous trends. so what about now? since 1995, there have been 96 mass shootings in the united states, according to a tally from the washington post. >> that includes seven of the 11 deadliest, but get this, even if there were no more mass shootings for the res

the kennedys and in particular bobby kennedy was saying we need action, went to get rid of them so this was the result. basically to make a long story short the operation failed. the only good thing that did wasn't it produce intelligence which allowed us to find out that the soviets are putting nuclear missiles into cuba but after the cuban missile crisis it was disbanded and lansdale was shunted aside. he was basically left vulnerable to his bureaucratic adversaries like robert mcnamara and by the end of 1963 he was retired. this was really a tragedy because this was the height of the crisis in south vietnam to crisis between kennedy which led to the overthrow about the consequences we discussed earlier ended in hindsight a lot of people like lyndon johnson's national security adviser later said the only way this crisis could the then averted is if add lansdale would have been sent to saigon and move in a more central direction and to guide him in the 1950s. to push them aside but it never happened because there was too much bureaucratic opposition. they made too many bureaucratic ene

let's compare 1968 and we talked last night about the 50-year anniversary of bobby kennedy's povertyr. a lot of these programs were instituted around that time. so the poverty rate in 1968 was 12.8%. the poverty rate now is 12.7%. snap recipients in 1968, 2.9 million. we now have over 42 million americans on food stamps, mollie. what do you think of this program? >> it's not just from that long ago but really this program ballooned under both the bush and obama administration and it's now 18% of american households are on this program. the biggest problem facing -- the biggest food related problem facing low income americans not actually hunger it's obesity. a lot of that related to this so-called nutritional program which has people buying things that are not exactly the healthiest for them. there are some really stad statistics about this children in low income american children are twice as likely to be obese as other americans. and this, of course, leads to all sorts of lifelong problems of not just the physical variety but socioeconomic problems. federal problem not doing anythi

throwing grenades -- >> this was at a time, too when america was becoming more and more divided, bobby kennedy was killed and the democratic convention. it was really coming apart and that was being reflected certainly in these 19, 20-year-old kid having to fight this war they didn't understand, that america wasn't supporting, and you're going to just bring out every ugly dimension of a society when you have that. and this is one of the rains i always thought -- we talked about this many times -- of the vietnam generation, these kid that were asked to go over and fight, really win you back up and look at it all, acquitted themselves pretty well. really. in a very difficult time, and handled it in i think a really pretty magnificent way. with all the other problems they had to deal with aside from the fact they were in the middle of a war. >> i often think to contrast that time with what we have been going through, the last 15 years with these idiotic wars in iraq and afghanistan that we're still involved in. one good thing that was a massive mistake to ever get involved in those two wars, but
