i want to ask you, he is completely intimidated by robert f. kennedy, jr.eft wing radical enviro pals. >> i have to look at it as a play employing to the democratic base, if he runs, but i would think a democrat if for no other reason than the one you mentioned on, wages and these fantastic blue collar jobs, he would be doing somersaults over this. one thing in the journal story today, they said we have all this new production. we have this weird supply gluts in certain places, it's not getting others, because we're not building enough pipeline. >> who have stepped up is the railroad companies, by the end of the year, there will be a million a day, riding the rails, getting it out to the east coast, the west coast, the gulf coast. >> real quick, this an environmental thing? i don't understand this. is there not enough capital? we need pipelines that get the oil to the east coast. instead of buying brent crude, they can buy west texas. >> it takes rights of capital. rights of ways have to happen. we see pipelines burst. when you have that happen, it works ag

it was 45 years ago, i can't believe it, today, robert f. kennedy died from an assassin's bullet.eath left a question for many americans about what could have been, of course, we'll never know. in his campaign for president he seemed able to reach out to working class whites and african-americans. a big part of his legacy, of course. two months after his own death, another major figure in america was violently taken from us, martin luther king. bobby was in indianapolis where the city's police and mayor suggest he cancel his appearance. kennedy went ahead and spoke. in fact, watch this, he's actually telling many of the people in the crowd of what happened. they hadn't known yet. it was before the internet. they didn't know. before 24/7 cable. they didn't know the people in the crowd who are mainly african-american didn't know king had been killed. >> what we need in the united states is not division, what we need in the united states is not hatred. what we need in the united states is not violence and lawlessness but is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another. and a fee

that was a huge, huge attraction for both groups of people towards robert f. kennedy it better than mike did. your thoughts? >> well, chris, i hate to rain on the parade like the professor on this day and we honor his legacy, but he only got 15% of the white vote in indiana. he got 90% of the black vote. it was a little bit of a myth that he was able to pull these groups together. robert novak did a house to house poll before the election. he found that he was doing better than his opponent, eugene mccarthy, by about two to one in the white kind of working class areas but on election day he lost 13 of the 14 townships where george wallace had won to eugene mccarthy. people really wished -- they dearly wished that someone could bring this country together after martin luther king's assassination. in fact, the pundit said united black power and backlash, which meant the black militants and white factory workers. >> where were they voting indiana in a place like that? >> a lot of them were voting for eugene mccarthy because kennedy really was associated with civil rights

in 1968 when robert f kennedy was assassinated the reaction was the gun control act of 1968 ban guns as much as possible. now the reaction is whenever somebody, as wayne la pierre says the only cure with a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with the gun. the idea more guns make us more safe is so deeply ingrained now but i think it's worth pointing out it a very different attitude than used to be. >> i agree. by the way, i completely agree the more guns, the less bad -- is none sense -- >> but -- >> the point about this story and in a nation that has 300 million guns in circulation, actually an elderly couple like this probably do need to have a handgun at home in case armed intruders come by because the likelihood is it may be -- that's a different argument to me than the one we have regularly about mass shootings and the rest of it with ar 15 assault rifles and high capacity magazines and so on. the reason i wanted to talk about this story is to make the point i think this kind of situation is exactly what the second amendment was intended for. >> and it goes back to the core of back
