could exchange ideas with black intellectuals and baldwin arranged for several of them to meet at joe kennedy's apartment in manhattan. harry belafonte was there. various other members of the black intelligentsia were at this meeting. they all started dumping on robert kennedy. robert kennedy would go there and they would all praise him for what the kennedy administration was doing and triggered by remarks of jerome smith would in a freedom rider and beaten very badly in the south and was in new york getting treatment and had been invited to this meeting. he got up and said to robert kennedy coming are talking about the great angst are doing for us. our people are getting eaten in the south and you're not doing anything to protect us. everybody instantly got on his side and started dumping on robert kennedy and robert kennedy was absolutely shocked. he never expected any of this and afterwards he was very bitter about this and he made very personal ad hominem requirements about various people at the meeting and said why do i even care about them? they are not speaking for the black community. a

because robert kennedy been associate with joe mccarthy and robert kennedy at the thout of as an antiunion person that actually i i'd eventually i dit realize until i i started writing the book that white liberals loathed joe mccarthy for one reason to black progresses progressives and black civil rights leaders loathed him for another. to them come at the communism had an additional dimension to it. it made racist because many of the black leaders were either communists or leftists of one kind or another. harry belafonte, paul robeson, w.e.b. du bois. they were very, very wary of the kennedys. so robert kennedy had a great suspicion in the black community that he had overcome. and away i think the great affection for john kennedy among rank-and-file members of black america in the wake of his assassination washed over robert kennedy, too. so there's great sentimentality and affection for the kennedys in that community. and it could be that kind of gave the kennedys of path on civil rights and make people overlook their foot dragging on civil rights to the actual time of the kennedy admini

you may recall joe kennedy gave the opposition response to president trump in 2018. sometimes they are given by congressional leaders. other times, they are given by up and coming members of the party. sometimes governors will give the address. it is a way for the opposition party to highlight its message in a response to the state of the union address by a president. time --ving it to prime you might think what more can you do to innovate the state of the union address? presidents do to reinterpret or reimagine this constitutional directive? when ronald reagan entered office in 1981, he did not allow his essential conservatism to prevent him from expanding the spectacle that the state of the union had become. reagan is also a master of stage craft and at storytelling. in 1982, he adds something we had not seen before. >> just two weeks ago in the midst of a terrible tragedy on the potomac, we saw american heroism at its finest, dedicated rescue workers saving victims and we saw the heroism of the one of our young government employees who when he saw a woman on the h

congressman joe kennedy, the former congressman years ago established a program in boston to provideow-cost heating oil to his lower income constituents in the boston area and part of the way he did that was by an arrangement with the venezuelan oil company. so if you had american corporations in control of the venezuelan oil these kinds of medical choices could of course the reverse. in raw economic rationale terms it wouldn't make sense at all. i think veryold revealing initiative by bolton and it shows where the u.s. is going on venezuela now. it shows the u.s. is seeking to impose what is really a radical rightist revolution on venezuela. they are not just proposing to overturn the economic legacy of chavez but e even of his more coconservative predececessors. they are talking about privatizing the oil. and by the way the economic policy of chavez and later maduro is depicted in the u.s. press as being communist or even socialist to a very strong extent. but it actually isn't. if you look at the figures of how the venezuelan economy operates the government controls about a third

my grandfather joe kennedy left boston because of that discrimination and moved to new york because he thought he couldn't really make his way in boston, even though his father- in-law had been the mayor of the city. you could get ahead in politics, but you can get ahead in business. and my father, when he was at college, i say this because many of you know, my uncle john kennedy became the first catholic to be elected president, but he did it during a very tough time and there was a lot of discrimination. billy graham, who just died and norman vincent peele, who many of you may never have heard of but wrote the power of positive thinking wrote a letter in that 1960 campaign to say we should not elect john kennedy president of the united states because he would be controlled by the pope. and that was pretty discriminatory and everybody kept saying how great billy graham's, just remember that. and eleanor roosevelt said the same thing. didn't want john kennedy because she thought he was too close to the pope. so people have their prejudice. they overcome it in many ways but sometimes th
