that is bobby kennedy.n: 20 does it bother you, the degree to which republicans came out with 25 reasons not to support this guy, democrats have not been home much better, virtually ignoring him which prompted this shift to a third-party. what do you think of that? >> you see on the right and left that the dnc and the rnc are corrupt organizations that want to disenfranchise the public, make decisions for them. they are coming out so hard to discredit bobby kennedy, shows how dangerous he is but he's not a danger to anybody in this country, only a danger to corrupt politicians, corrupt institutions, corrupt corporations. it's a great sign they are so afraid of him that they can't engage them on the issues, they have to vilify him. neil: he has been vilified by his own family not keen on his departure from the democratic fold, which is family iconic we represented. even when he had difficulty talking about things like that but when you think about israel. i can't help but think his father was assassinated by

what did bobby kennedy have to do? i have to consider this. politically, bobby is jack's protector. he is the morally abrasive one in that cabinet. politically, it's in our interest to try to resolve this. we have to consider civil rights legislation and i will say that there is a final turn in the book where i would argue that the greatest intellectual and spiritual transformation is bobby kennedy because of what happens in may and june. it's far more than just a political argument. may 2nd, may 3rd, may 4th. if we are going to isolate 10 weeks at alter the trajectory of america, we can further isolate three days. those were the three days. we are in them now. it changed america forever. it allowed me to come here, it allowed me to marry my wife, it allowed me to raise my kids. i take pride in that. i am very grateful. if there are any questions about what happened or anything else, i am happy to field them. right here? >> have your children read it? that's all i could think about. >> i have told them, yes, i have read this. i have told them a lot and they've had a lot of questions

so what did bobby kennedy have to do? he had to tip his hat to dr. ng and say i have to consider this. remember that bobby is jack's protector. he is the morally abrasive one. he said it is now in our political interest to have to resolve this. we have to consider civil rights legislation. i would argue that the greatest intellectual and spiritual transformation is bobby kennedy because of what happens. it becomes far more than just a political argument for bobby. may 2, may 3, fourth, if we are going to isolate 10 weeks that forever altered the trajectory of america, we can further isolate three days. those were the three days. we are in them right now. they changed america forever. of allowed me to come here and marry my wife and raise my kids on the street where nobody harasses us. i take pride in that. i am very grateful for birmingham. i'm to field them. if everybody doesn't have anything. yes, right here. since you it for if there are any questions about what else happened on may 2 or third or anything else i am happy to field them. >> since you

don't be surprised if we find in upset with bobby kennedy running _ find in upset with bobby kennedy with the republicans and the democrats for that i_ republicans and the democrats for that i think he could drag some people — that i think he could drag some people with him.— that i think he could drag some people with him. that i think he could drag some --eole with him. ~ . , . ., ., people with him. what percentage of the vote does — people with him. what percentage of the vote does he _ people with him. what percentage of the vote does he get? _ people with him. what percentage of the vote does he get? it's _ people with him. what percentage of the vote does he get? it's quite - the vote does he get? it's quite small on the democrat side but running as an independent, does that shift the numbers? i running as an independent, does that shift the numbers?— shift the numbers? i think so. i would predict _ shift the numbers? i think so. i would predict he _ shift the numbers? i think so. i would predict he gets - shift the numbers? i think so. i would predict he gets between| shift t

so what did what bobby kennedy have to do. he had to tip his hat to martin luther king, say, i have to consider this now politically. remember, bobby is jack's protector. he is like the morally abrasive sort of one in that white house candidate cabinet excuse me, is like politically now, now in our interest to try to resolve this. we have to consider civil rights. and i will say there's a final turn in the book where i would argue that the greatest sort of intellectual and spiritual transfer motion in this book is actually bobby kennedy's, because of what happens throughout may, june. it becomes far more than just a political argument for bobby, who is also a man of deep faith. but may second, may, third, may 4th. if we're going to isolate ten weeks that forever, the trajectory of america, we can further isolate three days. those the three days we are in them right now. that changed america forever. that allowed me to come here. that allowed to marry my wife, that allowed me to raise my kids on the street where nobody harasses

even like bobby kennedy he's thprobably a great campaign manager, should bobby kennedy have been theaign manager? yes. attorney general? and no. one of the things i call for the book is banning the hiring of family whether it's for campaigns or an official taxpayer-funded office. i just think it's about luck. some of it is spouses and some of it is kids. was that maxine waters who paid her daughter i think it was $80,000,0 in one year? ilhan omar directed more recentlyly ilhan omar directed millionsol of dollars to her husband's consulting firm. and maybe he's a great consultant. i don't know. my wife is in the business and i would hire her if i were running. n nobody is better and nobody's going to care more about me probably. so i understand that. either have someone else pay to take care of your ne'er-do-well kids or be -- funnel money into your household, other people's money into your household. i raise money from other people for my campaign andpa then i pay myself as a consultant who keeps a certain percentage oft that. if we are married that's in my pocket too. so it's not a

and even like bobby kennedy who is probably a great campaign manager for j.f.k., should bobby kennedy have been the campaign manager, yes, the attorney general, no? one of the things i call in the book banning the hiring of family whether it's for campaigns or official taxpayer funded office. i just think it's a bad look at best. some of this is -- is spouses, some of it is kids. was it maxine watters who paid daughter $80,000 in one year. there's a lot of -- ilhan omar directed more recently ilhan omar directed millions of dollars to her husband's consulting firm and maybe he's a great consultant, right. i don't know. my wife is in the business, i would hire her if i were running, nobody i is going to -- nobody is going to care about me winning probably. so i understand that but it also is a way to either have someone else pay to takee care of your neer kids and bring other people's money into your household. i raised money from other people for my campaign and i give that -- i pay my spouse as a consultant who keeps a certain percentage of that, that goes back into if we are married

but just the point on bobby kennedy jr. he says the system was rigged against him. he had a approval rating among democrats of 14, positive 57, negative. so, there isn't a system you could devise that would have yielded bobby kennedy jr. as the nominee of the democratic party. you know, he's getting out because he wants to stay. he likes the attention. he wants to stay in the race. even his own internal polling, he's not really a factor to win the race. he's only a factor to hang around and continue to get attention, which is what happen he wants. but he is much more popular among republicans than democrats. there's no doubt about it. by about 30 points positive among republicans where there's a market for conspiracy theories and rants against the deep state. >> you mentioned the republicans, that the popularity among republicans. that's true. john king was in new hampshire and iowa -- he's been to both states talking to republicans, trying to understand what they're thinking. it was interesting what a couple of them said about rfk jr. so, let me play two of them. >

and even bobby kennedy, he was probably a great campaign manager for jfk.should bobby kennedy have been the campaign manager? yes. should he have been the attorney general? no. right. i mean, i think one of the things i call for in the book is banning the hiring of family whether it's for campaigns or official, you know, taxpayer funded office. i just think it's it's it's a bad look at. some of this is is spouses some of it it's kids i think it was maxine waters who paid daughter i think it was $80,000 in one year. there's just a lot of ilhan omar directed more ilhan omar directed millions of dollars to her consulting firm and maybe he's a great consultant right. i don't know. i've my wife's in the business i would hire her you know if i were running nobody's going to nobody's better nobody's going to care about me winning. probably. so i understand that. but it also is a way to either have someone else pay to take care your ne'er do well kids or be funnel money into your own household, other money into your own household. like i raise money from other for

because when gavin newsom takes over the home and bobby kennedy splits, dad for this is going to be may have, do you understand? i'm sure you, i see this before. i believe you have most probably the republican nominee who was on trial for, for indictment, $91.00 total charges. he's on trial. you have an independent, a democratic scion who basically threw down the gauntlet and told the democrats, i'm going 3rd party. i'm going after you. and then you have a, admittedly, perhaps a president who is not long for that position about to be perhaps removed or supplanted . i believe, by gavin newsom from california. this is going to be in sanity and the house is the least of their problems. and i'm telling you something as what a lot of people are thinking myself included, just as an observer and a proud american of the worst thing that ever happens in political world is stability. whatever everybody's happy when ever everybody is content, i get worried. why your adversaries happy? why is everybody getting along? politics one would suggest is by definition fractious and contentious. that's when

they can't be bobby kennedy. so they're going to try design law. sideline. trump, then kennedy as well. they're going to try to sideline their opponents because they don't think they could be the minute they are. right. which i think they're probably correct in that. a. yeah, interesting uh is definitely alonzo as they want to all the debates as well. they've been very interesting and, and quite funny as well. at the same time, john, i, the very serious this. uh, we heard this us a republican side. so claiming that the democrats hold ross are responsible for trans victory in 2016 and waiting for it. this does sound a little bit fall face, but this is why they have retaliate and again, see plain. what do you think about that? they could fit the definition of farfetched that the timeline is simply that the russian federation in the united states were connected. you know, from 2016 onward in a variety of ways. and then again from february 24, 2022 with respect to ukraine. and then you add to that the legal issues th

they can't feet, bobby kennedy. he's both of the us, i'm a little claim to be committed to defending ukraine. but we're going to see like, uh this, the new leader and stuff like a robot fits so you need is sort of pulling away from providing especially leave full assistance to q. do you think that's a lot of the times of changing the government of ukraine? president southern sky was incredibly belligerent and incredibly insulting, incredibly demanding that mostly nato member countries help in and deliver health. once the war started, the us effectively mixed the talks between russia and ukraine, and the us and nato partners have in bold, is a landscape to keep the work going. despite the heavy casualties, the 6000000 ukranian refugees and the destruction of property and in structure. the us keeps escalating this conflict by sending money in arms and lending military intelligence to ukraine, feeding these ukrainians and likely mercenaries into the mall desk. so achieving next to nothing, militarily or strategically.

kennedy, jr. so thank you. we all love bobby. well, you know, it's interesting because i've been traveling around with bobby across the country, and something has been happening that i've never seen happen before. he draws crowds and they are full of democrats, republicans and independents, all in one place. so what that's telling me is that americans want to work together. they want someone to bring them together and make this country better. so that's what bobby is ready to do. he is ready to fight for the working-class americans because he's been doing it all his life. i had been watching him do it. as a matter fact, he's an environmentala attorney, and for decades he's been fighting against these big corporations, these corrupt corporations that were stealing from the working-class american. i was in san francisco when bobby and his law firm stood up against montesano. [applause] on behalf of one m man, a man named mr. johnson who was a groundskeeper at a school, and he would wear roundup weed killer on a take on his back and

are you really ready for bobby kennedy? [cheers and applause] >> ok. ok. all right. listen, i know you didn't come here to hear me talk. thank you. one person. two people. thank you p. i am not going to make you wait any longer. the moment you've been waiting for, we're all dying to hear from bobby, so why don't you please make a lot of noise and welcome the next president of the united states of america, robert kennedy jr. [cheers and applause] robert: hey. [crowd chanting] robert: thank you, cheryl, for this beautiful introduction and for making me the happiest person -- man alive, the most unbelievable wife. i want to thank the other members of my family that are here, particularly amaryl as -- amaryllis who has done such a good job co-managing the campaign and my son bobby and jackie and becky and anthony shriver and carolina and jesse shriver and the other members of my family are here. rob jeter i cheryl is a huge, huge football fan and the real reason we came to philadelphia is to watch the eagles play yesterday. i want to thank lewis for giving the invocation

if you're going to be voting for trump or inclined to vote for trump, i will vote for bobby kennedy,ot happen. i think this is exciting and good news, directly damaging to biden and democrats and they know it because he will be popular and it will be those disaffected democrats that hate what is going on right now. >> media saying he will put out attack ads against the dnc. >> the only difference, it is bobby, not bernie. this is them controlling their own party. i would normally say this is not the answer, stay on thattic ittet so if biden bows out, there is somebody on the ballot. but i think they will go rogue and pick somebody else potentially who they can in a few weeks try to beat the deadline on ballot and get the mystery person on. oddly, no one is saying the mystery person is kamala harris, so who would it be? maybe gavin newsom? it won't be robert f. kennedy and we know it. he talks about things people are asking about, asking questions about the ukraine war, they are not popular among democrats, you know people are talking about it. he is talking about the 30-year fixed mo

you know who's not so into this independent bid from bobby kennedy? the kennedys. use four of rfk jr.'s siblings released this statement: "the decision of our brother bobby to run as a third party candidate against joe biden is dangerous to our country. bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision, or judgment. we denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country." adding, "p.s: skip thanksgiving this year! the turkey is vaccinated!" so rfk jr. has upended the two-party system while simultaneously alienating his family. all he had to do yesterday with his announcement was make the most powerful speech of his life. >> bobby! >> arrrgh! i need my speech. you can't read anything. >> what about the screen up in front? >> what? yeah. it's upside down. >> stephen: ready on day one. just as stirring as when abraham lincoln announced his candidacy with his head stuck in a bucket of sorghum. of course, it could be worse. he could be donald trump. the former president was campaigning in... [booing] you've got

. >> harris: bobby kennedy talking issues, biden in basement with sunglasses on.. >> emily: more to come, including men overrun women's tech conference and are accused of gaming the system by lying about their gender. that is next. i hear it all the time. people tell me they'd love to buy gold. but because it's gold - they think it must be complicated. it isn't. not with rosland capital. with rosland... the entire process from start to finish is built on one concept... one... keep... it... simple. rosland capital - a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs, and our premium coins, can help you preserve your wealth. call rosland capital at 800-630-8900 to receive your free rosland guide to gold, gold & precious metals ira, and silver brochures. with rosland, there are no hassles, no gimmicks, and our shipping is fast and reliable. remember. keep it simple. make gold your new standard. call rosland capital today at 800-630-8900, 800-630-8900. that's 800-630-8900. [city ambience sounds] [car screech]

states so if they cut into that his chances of a second term plummet. >> traditional view would be bobby kennedyappeal, with indeed trump voters as well. i'm wondering how you think that would cut down. >> i think whether you're on the right more on the left probably more on the left because his name is kennedy and has been a democrat until make next week but yes, i think there are some trump voters or voters who hike trump in the past don't like name now could vote that way. a lot of people don't want to vote for bind or trump and are looking for another solution. >> let me ask you about the speektder maybe not as nastiness after the fact of kevin mccarthy they might lal i around jim jordan with the blessings of donald trump does that help gin jordan and to the detriment of steve scalise? >> i think jordan's candidacy has momentum getting the endorsements of the president is important but it's more important in primaries. these are class presidential races and relation. remember, trump backed rick scott over mitch mcconnell who he doesn't like and mcconnell is still republican leader in the sen

s father senator bobby kennedy was assassinated here in los angeles in 1968, while he was running for president in the democratic primaries. rfk jr. is running as an independent. his campaign sent a new request for protection to department of homeland security this week, and it is the third formal request. jesse? >> unbelievable. it is time to give him the secret service at this point. a lot of emails and a lot of visits to the house. >> 435. so disturbing. >> jesse: christina, thank you. so hunting season in maine coinciding with the m manhunt for the maine mass shooter. wow. you know that feeling of having to rewash dishes that didn't get clean? i don't. cascade platinum plus has me doing dishes... differently. scrub? soak? nope. i just scrape, load and i'm done. only platinum plus is bigger. with double the dawn grease fighting power and double the scrubbing power. for a no rewash clean... and a cabinet ready shine. rewash? not in my house. upgrade to cascade platinum plus. dare to dish differently. don't let everyday aches and pains keep you from living your best life. i don't thi

get into a dark mood, he's more populous resistance in terms of he can be from tucker carlson to bobby kennedy mind. stuart: in the great scheme of things, in your opinion, is elon musk as important as steve jobs? >> yes. steve jobs brings us into personal digital revolution with computers you can plug in and friendly and phones in your pocket and a thousand songs in your pocket. that's huge. the whole app economy comes from that. i think in the future the notion of get us back into space and notion of figuring out sustainable energy and creating real world ai, not the chat bots that can answer chats and texts and cars that drive and robots that navigate factories and that'll be more consequential. stuart: you must have sat down to dot book and does he enjoy it and have a sense of humor and a guy you enjoy having dinner with? >> he's certainly -- it's like being on a roller coaster ride. i didn't just have interviews with him. i spent two years by his side. i told him when we started the book, i don't want to do it based on 10 or 15 or 20 interviews and i want to be morning, noon and night whe

. >> neil: what do you think what bobby kennedy jr. sandra: . >> politics is part science, part art. part gut call. listen, i celebrate democracy. i celebrate people being in the arena. he needs to do what he feels is best for him. >> neil: the argument has gone from the people you talk to, it wouldn't be a case of him leaving the party but the party having long ago left him. i catch up and hear your remarks the other day, i think at dartmouth where you said the democratic party -- hope i'm quoted correctly -- is guided by the corporate element of the party represented by joe biden. you went on to say the party's business ties are a form of economic tyranny and our governing principal is no longer democracy. you sound like someone that is dissatisfied with the democratic party. >> a lot of democrats and republicans say i didn't leave my party, my party left me. i'm holding on because i believe in the traditional values of the democratic party. the parties that i grew up with are so different an they exist now. many people within the re

you can say the same with bobby kennedy. he said, progressives need to talk about crime. progressive on economics and he was the most popular white politician in black america, and he talked really clearly about why it was so important to talk about crime. >> bobby, and that's what i loved about him so much is he talked about crime -- quote, law and order, however you want to put it. he also talked about justice. >> yes. in every speech, he did both. >> he did both, and he gave the same speeches whether he was talking to a white crowd in the suburb or a black crowd in an inner city. he gave the same speech. >> and so what the democratic party basically left that model behind, and it moved toward a model where it is increasingly the party, an upscale party, increasingly a party of college graduates. it's still a party of economic redistribution, but it contains a huge range of things and within the last five years, we've seen the democratic party not only lose ground with white working class voters, but latino voters and a couple of percentage points with black voters. >>

if you get bobby kennedy on the ballot in cornell west on the ballot, all of those start chipping awayt president biden in a state that he must win. by itself would it cost the reelection, probably not. if you put all those factors together, let's go to the 74% of americans that are following this war, the reality is the defense authorization has been sitting in the senate since july. the border security funding bill that the house republicans passed has been sitting in the senate. chuck schumer sits there and will not pass the bill onto areas that are critical for americans right now whether it be the border were our defense department, tell the senate to move the bill. stuart: next one, mike pence dropped out of the 2024 race, donald trump thanks mike pence should endorse him. >> people are leaving and they're all endorsing me. i don't know about mike pence, he should endorse me, do you know why, i had a great successful presidency when he was a vice president. he should endorse me. i chose him and made him vice president. stuart: i don't know if mike pence is going to endorse trump,

neil: bobby kennedy junior is running not as a democrat anymore for the white house but an independent, this would be the lead story given what happened in israel, is taken a backseat but it is significant just lock moore from philadelphia. >> he says it's difficult to renounce his roots ones that extend to father, grandfather and both great-grandfathers. as i talk to you now it's an extraordinary speech both the current president and the former president. political parties, he says these are the two that are now our choice in the two-party system is broken and we need an independent, robert f kennedy junior says he is that independent. his own words now a short time ago. >> this country is ready for history making change. they are ready to reclaim their freedom, their independence. [cheering] that is why i'm here today to declare myself an independent candidate. >> he says his supporters in the crowd, i affirm talking to a number of them includes pro-choice and pro-life. it includes environmentalists and climate deniers. he says it's important that we bring people together and it's no

you have to go back to 1968 when bobby kennedy and mccarthy challenged johnson.unusual situation. joe biden is not looking good with democrats. take a look at a poll that we found from just a couple of weeks ago. how do you feel about biden being the nominee? 33% say good idea. 67%, last i heard, that was 2/3, say no, we want somebody else. enter dean phillips. that's the story. he said look, somebody has to go. biden shouldn't be there. >> some think he's too old, we need to move into youth. so what do we know about dean phillips? please. >> he's an interesting guy from minnesota. 54 years old. moderate democrat. third term from a very wealthy family. he himself is quite wealthy. those are important things. he supports climate change. he supports things like a strong economy, of course. he supports a woman's right to choose, lower health care costs, all of these things. he's voted, mind you, for biden's proposals 100% of the time. you say -- it gets back to what you said, i asked for somebody else to run, nobody else is running. biden is too old. that's the prob

. >> harris: i don't know how much time you guys have spent interviewing bobby kennedy junior.asked him point blank are you a republican or independent. he said no, i'm a democrat. he has to do what he is doing now from what i understand because your party are trying to keep him off the ballot. i would love to continue that conversation with more reality in it. thank you, gentlemen. wonder what american taxpayers think of this? footing the bill of billions of dollars for gender classes in schools in the middle east. yeah, it's on the table for us to pay for. plus the border crisis. a life and death situation. but now it's even messing things up when it comes to college football. less critical, important if you are playing the game. raymond arroyo in "focus" next. ♪ working with newday, my va home loan benefit allowed me to keep my money in my pocket. and my service was my down payment. i talked with newday on a thursday, put a contract on this house on saturday. 30 days later, we were moving in. i would tell other vets out there who are dreaming of getting into a home to stop d

we know about bobby kennedy's candidacy, the independents, in labels.ody inside the party making the case. he's personally wealthy himself. he can make the case as he likes. he's not going to win the nomination i don't think, or any delegates, but that will be a powerful message to democrats worried about biden. >> martha: he said he wants to encourage others, exactly to challenge biden. >> this is 2023, and the last time i looked at the calendar, there are at least six states that you have to be on the ballot by the end of next month. 22 states before the end of the year. the race for delegates is not a popularity contest. it is a race where you have to actually go out and identify, recruit people, so i don't know what the end game is for mr. phillips, but i can tell you this much. democrats are going to coalesce and stand by and support joe biden and kamala harris. the reason is simple. not only has he gotten a lot done, but they know joe biden, and he's wise. good luke, mr. phillips. have fun out there, but guess what? i will not be seeing him in chi

. >> can i ask you about bobby kennedy jr.? >> he's going as an independent. that's the word.s he'll have to try to figure out how to get on the ballot, how to -- there's a lot of work that goes into getting on ballots across the country. >> who does he hurt? who does he take votes away from if he gets on the ballot? >> he's getting a lot of support from republicans and republican donors who thought he could muck up our primary. i don't know. he hasn't been a consequential figure. for the last week, one of his representatives finally came to a rules and bylaws committee meeting. i don't know. maybe this week when the democratic party meets in st. louis we'll just write a resolution and say good-bye. >> rick? >> i think it's an open question whether he gets on the ballot in consequential places because it's a lot of money and a lot of time. you have to start doing it. >> he had a meeting with the libertarian party over the summer. >> there's a possibility he works with them. i don't think the no-labels folks would turn to him. it's easier to work with an existing movement. does

guest: i think robert kennedy -- i think bobby kennedy takes as many votes from trump as he does from biden. i have family numbers in my own family who are staunch conservatives, libertarians who love bobby kennedy because of the vaccine stuff. i think he will get a rise in the polls because most democrats did not vaccines, but i think a lot of republicans do. dean phillips is an interesting guy because he is challenging biden from the center, not the left, so that is pretty good for biden because then he can be more bipartisan and that will help him. i think it is still wide open. i know everyone thinks it will definitely be biden and trump. i remember several super bowls where we thought it would be the patriots. host: i was at that super bowl in 2011. we want to hear your call is a little later. we will be taking calls. republicans, (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. an independent -- and independents on (202) 748-8002. i want to talk on the end of the house speaker's race. what did you think of the outcome? guest: i don't really know mike johnson very well. host: do you li

so his sister, kerry kennedy, tweeted out, bobby might share the same name as our father, but he doesot share the same values, vision or judgment. today's announcement is deeply saddening for us. we denounce his candidacy and believe it be perilous for our country. >> jonathan lemire, fascinating that when -- >> wow. >> -- bobby kennedy jr. announced that he was running as a democrat, donald trump put out a statement basically saying, "fine young man." now he's running as an independent. of course, democrats have been the one that have been wetting their beds. there's obviously some polling on the trump side that shows that anti-vaxers, conspiracy theorists actually may cut from donald trump, who responded to this announcement yesterday by calling him crazy. >> yeah, the polls tell a remarkable story on how fast it occurred. a few months ago, when rfk jr. jumped in the race, he drew some democrats. there was worries he could -- it was not that he was going to prevent joe biden from clinching the nomination, but he could be a thorn in his side, at least a little bit. but every time rob

guest: i think robert kennedy -- i think bobby kennedy takes as many votes from trump as he does from biden. i have family numbers in my own family who are staunch conservatives, libertarians who love bobby kennedy because of the vaccine stuff. i think he will get a rise in the polls because most democrats did not vaccines, but i think a lot of republicans do. dean phillips is an interesting guy because he is challenging biden from the center, not the left, so that is pretty good for biden because then he can be more bipartisan and that will help him. i think it is still wide open. i know everyone thinks it will definitely be biden and trump. i remember several super bowls where we thought it would be the patriots. host: i was at that super bowl in 2011. we want to hear your call is a little later. we will be taking calls. republicans, (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. an independent -- and independents on (202) 748-8002. i want to talk on the end of the house speaker's race. what did you think of the outcome? guest: i don't really know mike johnson very well. host: do you li

this is what moves bobby kennedy junior to say if they are not going to count my votes, what am i doingthis democratic primary. i do think it is a bad look for the dnc. they have decided that new hampshire is not the first in the nation. but there needs to be some ways to account for votes to be counted. there is a little bit of a sense of rigging the game that has animated people. it is the establishment force deciding. they could be a little more nimble. host: let's talk to bob who is calling from baldwinsville, massachusetts on the independent line. caller: my question is, and i have to know because of something you said a little while ago is -- how far do you think we should become involved in the conflict in israel? because of what you said before, i'd like to say about the palestinians, it is ok for them to judiciously attack the israelis. they ran into their country and shot children with no care or whatever at all. so israel shouldn't react to that at all? they should just let it happen? guest: of course not, of course not. all violence should be condemned. i talked earlier abou
