the elder, and bobby kennedy got to choose his issues. he chose vietnam as his issue and ted kennedy look to other issues. they adored one another. , and whened bobby bobby died, ted felt the pressure -- i mentioned before, when one of the sons died, the next one.l to the i think ted kennedy never wanted to be president. i don't think he wanted to be president, but it was something he had grown up thinking it was his responsibility. the party kept turning to him, and i think he was happiest as a u.s. senator when he unsuccessfully challenged jimmy carter and could go back to being a u.s. senator. there was a question? >> my understanding that j edgar hoover got permission from bobby andedy to put microphones his motel and tape martin luther king and blackmail him. is that correct? the first half of what you said is absolutely correct. --ger hoover kept going back j edgar hoover kept going back to bobby kennedy wanting to wiretap martin luther king. hoover felt there were leftists s, without any definitive evidence, that there in martin lut

his supporters believe that bobby kennedy could revive the american dream. and then tragedy struck again. we were able to work with governor brady grab a camera on forgot about the board. freedom to go. on april fourth kennedy was flying to a campaign stop in indianapolis when he first heard the news he told the audience what had happened. i have some very sad news for all of you and people who love peace all over the world martin luther king was shot and killed tonight remember. those of you who are. black. and are tempted to feel with be filled with hatred and distrust. of the injustice of such an act. against all white people. i would only say that i can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. i had a member of my family killed. but he was killed by a white man. bobby kennedy now apparent to many americans and not just blacks as their only hope he was an idol to some. and even a messiah to others. in primary elections that spring kennedy won four states and last fall he was still in a strong position heading into the convention. on the night of

bobby kennedy believed that oswald had been the front man for a broader conspiracy. also in one thousand nine hundred sixty four an official government commission investigating the kennedy assassination released its report. robert kennedy did not testify before the commission nor did he publicly question its conclusion that oswald had acted alone. to done so would have meant confronting terrible truths about his role in his brother's administration and the rage he felt at john. kennedy's murder. just. at the time robert kennedy was running for the u.s. senate in new york he took time off from the campaign to reflect on the years he had devoted to his brother's political career he was overcome by anger but where did this anger come from and as he himself moved on to the political stage he sought to learn from the mistakes it made for example when he was u.s. attorney general had he gone too far in his effort to convict teamsters union president jimmy hoffa it might help but get up because there is absolutely no question about the goal and evidently you think papa had b

once barry gold water got the national mission, johnson told his supporters i don't need bobby kennedy anymore. didn't say publicly he didn't want to have kennedy as vice-president but he called a press conference said i decide he that none of my cabinet members will be my running mate. it was directed to one cabinet member specifically -- everybody insured that. bookie smiled and said, i'm just sorry i had to taken so many other good fellows over the side with me on this. so kennedy leaves the cabinet, runs for the u.s. senate from new york and hen -- he gets into the race in september. he election is in november. and he just shoots ahead any polls but the republican senator who ran against, his starts tick up in the polls and johnson isbarry goldwater in new york, 2 million vote margin. kennedy is starting to lose and they're getting down the wire and it's apparent that he is not going no make it. bobby kennedy had to do the worst thing he ever felt he had to do in his life and that was ask lbj to come to new york help him. johnson comes into new york, spends to days, plasters the st

bobby kennedy was attorney general and treated lbj very poorly when he was president they didn't like each other. that is a euphemism. they hated each other, just despised each other. johnson becomes president when kennedy is assassinated. bobby kennedy stole his attorney general for a period of time, but the friction is tense between them. interestingly if you go back and look at the archives, even then he was giving private historical interviews to the library not to be released for many years and he starts working on lyndon johnson and can't stop. this is back in 64 committees and animal, just a horrible guy who and he was still trying to maneuver himself as the vice presidential running mate in 64. they gave a serious thought to put him on the ticket he was going to have to reach out to kennedy supporters once they got the nomination he told his supporters that said i don't need bobby kennedy anymore you don't want to come out and say publicly i don't want him to be my vice president of what he says because the press conference and says i have decided that none of my cabinet membe

that happened just after bobby kennedy left oregon and flew down to california. weeks after i had the opportunity to see him speak at a high school gymnasium, andid not seize the moment to do it. as bobby kennedy said in his speech to the city club of cleveland, our lives on this planet are too short. the work to be done is too great. but we cannot let that stop us from working together to seek and build a new world. we will never know whether robert kennedy with have succeeded in his election to be president or what would have flowed from a second kennedy administra. can oy speculate on how our nation's history would have been changed, how different our country would have been with his vision, his inspiration, his effort to tackled the issues of poverty, the issue and challenges of war, the issue and challenges of division in our nation. , andhg we know for sure that is the world is a lesser place this last 50 years because robert f. kennedy is not in it. his thoughts live on. in this institution, members of the senate, we should carry those thoughts forward on

i was an 11-year-old, out in oregon, and bobby kennedy as we affectionately referred to him was camign my state. he was going very quickly from community to community, delivering speeches and n one high school -- in one high school after another. and my grade school 6th grade teacher announced that he was going to give a speech at my high school, except i was only in 6th grade and i had never set foot in the halls of that high school. he was going to give a speech talked to my father andy father was a mechanic. he worked very hard. he was often in the evening quite happy to settle in, watch the national news, read the newspaper and reflect on the news of the day, and so i came to him, and i said i understand robert kennedy's giving a speech, and we could go see him. and my father said it's the end of the day, son, and i just don't feel like going out again. and at that moment, i wish so much that i had said i think i will go down to that high school, find my way down to that high school i have never been to and see him speak, but i didn't. it is one of the things i have regretted all m

bobby kennedy evolved. a once fearless advocate for joseph mccarthy, he ends up becoming a serious and considered in principled defender of an advocate for racial justitice, but not withot consternation, not without contradiction, not without complication. his relationship to martin luther king junior, for instance, is quite interesting because after that death that i gin with, after the funeral i begin with the we remember that bobby kennedy spoke in indianapolis bravely about the death of king. he announced to those black people in the hood what had gone on against the advice of his advisers who said it is going to be tough. at are going to the ghetto this particular moment at the death of their foremost figure, it could be really treacherous for you and very careless. he went on anyhow. gril u speech - -- he gave a brilliant speech.
