how many of your books are about the kennedy assassination say there's the kennedy autopsy, the kennedy autopsy, two an encounter with the evil regime change, the jfk assassination and the evil of the security establishment. five books. have you always been suspicious about the warren commission and the of the warren commission in the the official line about the kennedy assassination? no. i mean, actually, i had no idea there ever any controversy about it now. i grew up campaigning for john kennedy in the fifth grade. my dad was in politics. i went to the lyndon johnson for a barbecue. i met lyndon during that campaign when i i didn't any controversy at all the jfk assassination and went to see oliver stone's movie jfk in 1991. not even aware the controversy surrounding the film. i thought it was just a biography of this president that i campaigned for and i walked out of that theater just shocked absolutely shocked. and but what drove me to start reading, investigating everything i could find on this assassination jacob hornberger is most recent book is on your screen an encounter evil

he wrote kennedy a second letter.ot of war, because the harder you and i pull, the more we will tighten this knot, and what this means is not for me to explain to you, because you yourself... you understand perfectly well what formidable forces our countries possess. in the letter , khrushchev admitted for the first time that there were soviet missiles on the club; he offered the americans the option of dismantling them and returning them to the ussr. in exchange, khrushchev demanded strict guarantees. the united states will not invade cuba and will not support any other force that intends to invade cuba. a compromise formula was born. that is, the americans are removing missiles, jupiter and polaris from the turkish base from the italian one, and accordingly the russians are removing missiles from cuba. all efforts could be ruined by two incidents. on the afternoon of october 27, a soviet air defense crew shot down an american reconnaissance aircraft with an s-75 missile. on vlaski nervis on october 27, when u2 was s

with us host of kennedy saves the world, kennedy. fox news contributor tammy bruce and douglas murray. the new york attorney general who campaigned ongoing after trump says nobody is above the law. >> donald trump and the other defendants have committed persistent and repeated fraud. last week we proved that in our motion for summary judgement. today we will prove our other claims. my message is simple, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you think you may have, no one is above the law we get she is hungry. the former president hit back with scathing words to chew on. >> it is a witch hunt, a disgrace, we have a corrupt attorney general. this trial could have been brought years ago, but they waited until we were in the middle of our campaign. this is corrupt in washington. >> still trying to figure out how the judge didn't know there were cameras in the courtroom, because moments later he decided they were not allowed to be there. taking off his glasses to smile into the camera, so he knew. maybe that you wasn't

and here she is attacking republicans for daring to support kennedy. well, republicans seem to have a new favorite democrat, robert f kennedy junior, and as long shot presidential run against or by and have become something of a 6 ation and right wing circles bit of a recession. leading republican candidate donald trump is open. we praised him, fox news has dedicated a considerable amount of air time to him, reading over everything from his work out routine to his family name yes, box and the kennedy name, and how his quote polling so well against joe biden. so what you just heard is a class a catch up. it's the furthest thing from a fair and balanced journalistic approach to story telling that one could witness. and that's not to say that kennedy should not be question for some of the things he said, and some of the things he's done, but again, the ferocity of the attack with no room for new ones. no ma'am, for the benefit of doubt makes many motors think you know what? she must be doing something right. joining us now to talk about this to discuss th

it's not going to be robert kennedy junior. how about the cadillac hers? are you skipped for the vice president? for what problem? she's the vice president. if they move out the president. oh, you mean to do to, to the right haven't run, know. i was being a little diseases or no, no, absolutely not. you think she's we, i think she is an empty vessel. while she right there, she's in way over her head. i want to ask you about speaking of a w wasserman schultz. okay. what, what's the whole anti semite thing? she was, you know, shocked that he would say what he did and you know, this whole accusation of anti semite in this country any time that's convenient to try and basically take somebody out. it's a little troubling and, and, and that, that's not to say that somebody who's that doesn't matter should not be called out, correct. but they're, but by the grace of god. busy all of us and we all make mistakes, and i have said things that are insensitive about every group including my own family, but it just, it was interesting watching that and i'd like to hear

and then ask them to honor kennedy and the kennedy legacy by moving rapidly on the kennedy program, which up until that time, during the three years of the kennedy administration, had been stalled in congress. the magic here is that, as we know, johnson -- he is called the master of the senate -- is key skill set was in legislation. he was determined based on his own background to promote a policy of reform. he has been in office for seven weeks. he says the congress, laying out his program going forward, unfortunately, many americans live on the outskirts of hope. some because of poverty. some because of their color. our task is to replace their despair with opportunity. here we go. this administration declares war on poverty in america. i urge this congress and all americans to join with me on that effort. our chief weapons will be better schools, better health, and better home, and better training, and better job opportunities to help americans, especially younger americans, escape from the squalor and misery and unemployment, when other citizens help to carry them. a couple of w

and then ask them to honor kennedy and the kennedy legacy by moving rapidly on the kennedy program, which up until that time, during the three years of the kennedy administration had been stalled in the congress. the the magic here is that, as we know, johnson robert caro calls him the master, the senate johnson's key skill set was in legislation. so this this is a person into office who is both determined based on his own background, to promote a policy of poverty, policy reform, and someone who's got a particular set of skills that might enable him to do that. so here is how in this this is the first state of the union address. he's been in office seven weeks and he says to the congress, in laying out his program going forward on unfortunately, many americans live on the outskirts of hope, some because of their poverty and some because of their color and too many because of both our task is to help replace their despair with opportunity d. and here he goes. this administration today here and declares unconditional war, poverty in america. i urge this congress, all americans, to jo

kennedy without the --. that was what they were trying to present there's an idealized version right there. you have these people on screen who are celebrated either as fictionalized versions or other versions and alfa-bank another good example is john f kennedy in the movie pt 109 which presents a glossy view of kennedy as a war hero and he did do some heroic things after his boat was cut in half but he also stumbled. the movie overlooks that and talks about heroism. that movie helps kennedy become president and kennedy complains when the movie is shown on tv and it's shown along with a commercial sometimes for antiperspirants and other body products. complains to new minnow who is the head of the s.e.c. and the guy who famously coined the phrase "the vast wasteland" that his movie is on with all these i have add but these do present idealized versions of prent. it's also interesting that in the president's mention none of those are republican so hollywood rarely presents those depictions of republicans on

is exactly what i thought. >> robert kennedy talked about that in his own oral history with the kennedy library and talks about the fact that he didn't know if it was true but he said hoover had information on a hotel incident that he threatened to use against them, but i also think in general there was a culture of fear around communism and that was part of it and fear of j edgar hoover. the kennedys kowtow to and gave in and he liked to think of himself as a great supporter of the civil rights movement and we can go on and talk about lbj because in some way he was worse. >> is he a friend or foe because on one hand he was talking to martin luther king about being helpful and it was like he didn't stop the fbi from doing things that were absolutely vicious and uncalled for. >> i think lbj is both a friend and foe and he is a friend in that he passed two of the most important bills in american history and he can't do that without king but one of the really interesting things is when you listen to the phone calls and lbj taped all of his phone calls and anyone can listen to them on the i

so the kennedys kowtowed and gave in. even though robert kennedy like to think of himself as a great supporter of the civil rights movement and we could go on and talk about lbj because think in some ways he was worse. i think he encouraged it. he didn't just that's what i had a question. is he a friend or foe because on one hand he was talking to martin luther king about being and then the other hand it was he didn't stop the fbi from doing things that were absolutely vicious, uncalled for. i think lbj is both a friend and a foe. he's a friend and that he helps pass of the most important well bills in american history and and he can't do that without king but one of the really interesting things is that when you listen to the phone calls and lbj taped all of his phone calls and the tapes are anyone can listen to them on the internet now at the lbj library. and in the beginning when king first when lbj takes he calls king immediately reaches out to him and says we're going to need to work together. and he's calling him. m

jack kennedy. camelot. >> let me get you in here, jeanine i think he will shall -- i think he will pull vote from republicans. >> some. >>>> whether or not significanti don't know. >> i thinkotfica he will pull ve from republicans. i don't think it's significant at all. i't really don't. i have to tell you i think the interesting thing is he has made a decision, is he not going anywhere in theth democrat party. well you are noi going anywhere ingn the independent party either. do yon know what i think? i think he believes, and this is whatbe i believe, i'm sure there is no basis for t i don't think joeim biden isat ultimately going to the candidate, i could be wrong. i thin hk he knowse he is not o to b be the candidate if joe bin is in it. he has nobody else wants him, he has put all this energy in so he is going to make a big announcement onno october 9th. not goingt to make t of difference to anybody. >> very tight, 60% don't want trump to run, 70% don't want biden to run. a lot of people who ar

kennedy, jr. he has reportedly expected to drop his bid for the democratic nomination and instead run as an independent. potentially libertarian. how will that impact the front runners? david and -- here is a guy with the last name of kennedy, the son of robert f. kennedy, jr., and he feels like he doesn't have a home in the democratic party. all i can say to that is wow. >> wow, john. listen, i think as you saw, the process play out over the last couple months, the more that democrats heard from robert kennedy, jr., the more they understood his policy positions, the lower rating he got in terms of polling. so i think he's making this tactical decision the only way he can be relevant in this race with joe biden far and away the leading candidate on the democratic side is to become a libertarian, allow him ballot access come november. >> jacqui: aside from the discussions of a third party and no labels and that bid, you have had some democrats in biden's orbit suggesting that rfk could hurt trump.

kennedy, the movie "pt-109," presented a very glossy view of kennedy as a war hero. he did do some heroic things after his boat was cut down. he also stumbled in getting the boat on tap to begin with. but the movie sort of overlooks that, talks about his arrows to rescuing, which came true afterwards. that movie helps kennedy become resident. in fact, kennedy complains when the movie is shown on tv and is shown along with commercials, sometimes for antiperspirants and other body products or pharmaceutical drugs are not actual pharmaceutical products, you know, but household products. he complains to new minogue, who is the head of the fcc, the guy who famously coined the phrase, about that his great movie is shown on tv with all of these, i guess, an oppressive acts, but those movies do present idealized versions of the president. it is also interesting, as mentioned, fdr, kennedy, clinton, none of the presidents i mentioned are republican. hollywood rarely presents those idealized depictions of republicans on the screen. they tend to be democrats. >> all right. i th

kennedy jr.st and run as an independent. this obviously has some democrats concerned about the possible effect on president biden's campaign. what do you think that will be? here is senior national correspondent rich he had sony? >> we're going to rewrite the assumptions and change the habits of american politics. >> to do that robert f. kennedy jr. is likely announcing an independent run for president monday in philadelphia. kennedy has challenged president biden from within the democratic party party. >> hello, hello, hello. the president has refused to commit to a primary debate and democrats have dismissed kennedy's run. >> have at it, man. take it. who cares. crazy positions on things like vaccinations and healthcare and conspiracy theorieser would be a great libertarian candidate if that's what he wants to do just get out of my party. >> marianne williamson is challenging biden in the democratic primary. cornell southwest running as independent. independent candidates will pull support from

but kennedy was assassinated in 1963, as we all know, tragically and right after kennedy is assassinated, lenny bruce, the comedian, gets up on stage. the audience is shell shocked. everybody's upset. and bruce just sits there for a long, long, silent period looking at the audience. and he finally breaks the silence by saying, boy von meter is screwed. and it was true that was the end of von meter's career. but it was a big deal that he even was able to make fun of the president on a record. but now let's fast forward ten years and suddenly saturday night live comes on and that show is really transgressive. and it is the first show to make fun of a president on tv. and it does it in a pretty blistering way with chevy chase's infamous impersonation of gerald ford. now look at the presidential impersonations on on senate live today. famously, the alec baldwin impersonation of trump. there was a special wig that he wore and there was all this makeup that they put on him. they made him look kind of like trump, just like the ones with biden in the sunglasses. there was no attempt to make chev

the 2 principal books on the kennedy assassination ones called the kennedy autopsy and the other is called an encounter with evil. the abraham is a breeder story, and there is no question, but that once the assassination records review board came out in the 19 ninety's, that the military conducted a fraudulent autopsy on the president's body. and that evidence prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. and then my latest book shows that the c, i a took possession of the fame as a brute or film on the weekend of the assassination and produced an altered, fraudulent copy of it. well as, as i have long argued, there is no interest in explanation for a fraudulent autopsy and a fraudulent fill. those 2 events definitely established beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the, the standard and the criminal case that this was a national security state routine change operation. no different from the regime change operation in there in iran, in 53, guatemala, 54 later in chile and 73. the principle is when there is a threat to national security, the national security establishment is going to deal with that

the kennedy bus went by and they went like this. they don't want that kennedy.edy, his father. >> camelot. >> let me get you in here jeanine. i think he will pull -- i think he will pull some vote from republicans. >> some. >> not significant. >> i think he will pull vote from republicans. i don't think it's significant at all. i really don't. i have to tell you i think the interesting thing is he has made a decision he is not going anywhere in the democrat party. you are not going anywhere in the independent party either. i think he believes, and this is what i believe, and i'm sure there is no basis for it, i don't think joe biden is ultimately going to be the candidate. i could be wrong. i think he knows he is not going to be the candidate if joe biden isn't. he has nowhere to else go. nobody else wants him, he has put all this energy in so he is going to make a big announce 789, not going to make a big difference to anybody. >> it is tight, 60% say they don't want trump to run. 70% say they don't want biden to run. there are a lot of people out there who are

they're going to turn to kennedy. it's the kennedy name, it's the hero. they're looking for. on the republican side, the mag voters, they're pretty loyal to trump. i mean, he has 91 indictments and they're standing by him and they're still going to vote for him. right. so the, the dumb or so the republicans on that side would be more the rhino or the traditional republicans that are feeling that their party isn't listening to them. but, but again, they don't see robert kennedy as, as aligned with very few points. and you know, frankly, you know, i, i kind of re, initially thought he was being a sheepherder sort of see putting votes from the democrats to get everybody on board. now i'm looking at it and, and seeing what he's doing is probably taking away both votes from both candidates and it is going to be a close race. so we'll have an impact. is he going to be another bernie sanders? very because if you remember all the high pull the, how if we had around bernie sanders and the things that he was saying and, and kennedy is the same source of the type of, of kinds of is the

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

kennedy jr. announced that he will no longer seek the democratic nomination and will instead run as an independent. former congressman will hurd also dropped out of the republican race. >>> and stargazers are in for a treat overnight as the moon and venus will be visible next to one another in what's known as a conjunction. this begins around 3:00 a.m. wednesday. >>> for more, download the cbs news app on your cell phone or connected tv. i'm jarred hill, cbs news, new york. >>> it's tuesday, october 10th, 2023. this is the "cbs morning news." >>> devastation and destruction. the warning this morning from israel's prime minister as israel orders a full siege of gaza, and the threat from hamas to kill hostages. >>> well, good morning and good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. today is the fourth day of israel's war with hamas on the country's retribution for saturday's surprise assault is only intensifying. about israel sealing off the gaza strip from food, fuel, and other supplies, and the dea

the same way that kennedy had.ted appearing on entertainment like the jack paar program, where he didn't talk about policies. he the piano. he then to the mike douglas show and daytime entertainment talk show where he met producer roger before appearing on that program. nixon to ailes that he had to engage in gimmicks like this in order to get elected. and ailes shook his head and he said, television is not a gimmick. you need to take seriously and make it a centerpiece of your campaign. and then he brought ailes on board to his campaign. with ailes help, he. that's why he went on laugh-in and a very awkward ten second clip and i wanted show you the video of this and snl and mtv. but unfortunately because of technological considerations. a, we cannot play video. so i'll do my best to reenact it. it's very simple. it's very it took many takes. and if you don't remember it or haven't it, i encourage you to google it when you home where he used the show's catchphrase it to me. but he said in a very interesting way. i

kennedy had the vision to sign the nuclear test ban treaty. due to kennedy's astute diplomacy and ecological act of great importance occurred. we stopped testing nuclear weapons. he made a deal with khrushchev and the soviet union and britain. so today we can't test those weapons. in my book i ended, i deal with kennedy who loved cape cod, create cape cod national seashore, point raised out in california. fodor island texas. he was trying to save shorelines before he was killed -- padre island. i do with the first big clean air act of 1963 and the follow-up in 1970. lyndon and lady bird johnson had a ranchers of view of conservation, but as you know lady bird whole life was about beautification and anti-billboards and really helped safe places like redwood national park and create a wild and scenic trail system and our national river system. much more i tell you you about the johnsons are in the book and the unlikely environmentalist nixon. i only say what is your walden pond? what place in the audience speaks most you? kennedy was hyannis, at

robert kennedy talked about that . he talks about the fact that he didn't know if it was true but he said that hoover had information on a hotel incident that he learned to use against him. but i also think that in general, there was a culture of fear around communism and for of edgar hoover. the communities count out and gave in even though robert kennedy like to think of himself as a great supporter. we can go in and talk about lbj. i think it's a way, he was worse. >> reporter: is he a friend or a foe? on one hand, he was talking to martin luther king. it was like he didn't stop the fbi from doing things that were absolutely vicious and uncalled for. >> i think lbj is both a friend and a foe. he is a friend that he helped pass two of the most important bills in american history. and he can't do that without king. but one of the really interesting things is when you listen to the phone calls that lbj taped. anyone can listen to them on the internet now. the lbj library. in the beginning when king, when king first tak
