so starting is my weather working walking with robert kennedy in paris. maybe they tell us a little bit about the moment that that caption that it captures an attribute took with the senator kennedy. some of the highlights. it was in 1967. >> i think robert kennedy got tired. it's very personal things that have dealt with. so he told them, let's go to you're up. so the two of us went and it was a remarkable truck printed began and oxford. he debated phenom and oxford union. berlin was his host for the occasion. but we went and so i was thinking of the crown. the queen now recognized as being very much taken by harold wilson. and we it's been a couple of hours with harold wilson. it was remarkable from here especially with you going out today with the queen was listening to swiss it very much against vietnam. they had to deal with lyndon johnson. and robert kennedy, he said we are not going to do it. we're just going to have to pay the price. he's been it's a big price. and since johnson puts constant pressure on me and like in my government. i don't know w

and here is an establishment figure in robert kennedy. i think they took out a lot of their anger on him because he was there at the time. kennedy took it with good grace. he did point out, he didn't have to be there. he was wealthy, he was an established person. he had his own family to worry about. he could have stayed home at his estate in virginia. but no, he was out here talking to them late in the evening and listening to their concerns. i think that really mollified most of their concerns at the time. robert kennedy wins the indiana primary. he goes around the state. he is very happy with the way he is treated by indiana voters. felt that they gave him a chance. they listened to what he had to say and they resonated with his message. from there, kennedy went on to win primaries in nebraska. they go on, mccarthy and kennedy, after the western primaries. mccarthy actually defeats kennedy in the oregon primary, the first time any candidate had lost an election. it comes down to the california primary, the most delegates. kennedy ekes o

robert kennedy once said moral courage is a rare commodity in battle but the one essential vital quality for those who seek to change the world that's the most painful to change moral courage is a rare commodity i have to say when i first read that i wasn't sure that i agreed. moral courage is rarer than in battle? it doesn't seem right. i wasn't sure i agreed and for a democrat not to agree with anna kennedy as heresy i'm sure some of mine feel the same way of the kennedys from louisiana. what could be more rare than courage in battle? that then i got to visit our servicemembers around the world and see how blessed we are with an abundance of heroes by the millions join the service for this country to demonstrate the most incredible bravery every day. i just have the greatest respect for them people like jason crow, john mccain daniel in a way and those who served with this body and have never served in office and all around the country and all around the worl world, incredible respect. it's an amazing thing how common is uncommon bravery. my father is 92. he is probably watching. part

in 1984, after law school, robert kennedy jr. joined riverkeeper, a watchdog organization started by fishermen to monitor pollution in the new york hudson river. today, fish and people are swimming again in the hudson. time magazine named kennedy a hero for the planet because of his work on behalf of the hudson river. can lawyers use legal action to stop climate change and other environmental damage? it has been done before. robert kennedy knows howow. welcome, to "kamp solutions."

mourners, jacqueline kennedy, their children, president johnson and his wife, and attorney general robert kennedyte president's brother. beneath the dome of the capitol, the casket rests on a catapult. president johnson places a wreath of red and white roses at the foot of the casket. then mrs. kennedy, holding caroline by the hand, goes up to the casket. the widow lifts the flag and touches her lips to the bronze casket. and then it is the people of america who come to pay last respects to president kennedy. over a quarter of a million stream through the rotunda and many wait as many as ten hours. they wait through the chilly night and not since the death of franklin d. roosevelt have the american people known such deep sorrow. next day, mrs. kennedy and her brothers in law lead the procession of walking mourners including the heads of state who have come from far away for this final homage. all follow the late president's casket and walking from the white house to st. matthew's cathedral. at the cathedral, richard cardinal cushing of boston will celebrate for mr. kennedy the requiem mass of the

we wore armbands hoping that what robert kennedy had proposed would be taken seriously and lead to an ending to the war. this is all post-world war ii. the russians, the soviet union was our ally in world war ii to defeat the nazis. and the japanese, also. following that, that war, world war ii, it immediately began an arms race between the west and the soviet union. the growth of this destructive potential and nuclear arsenals on both sides. the fear the nuclear weapon is an instrument of terror. the threat of the nuclear weapon is tantamount to terrorism. the mutually assured destruction we were all living with a sort of suicide pact. it is not the kind of life that we want. if often carry them with me, b khashoggi. i wanted to summarize. we have had dozens of tweets. this sense of what our viewers are thinking right now. does this address only the positions that we consider political question mark is it relevant? how do you respond to that? >> it does address the central core. political speech is the most protected speech in the u.s. system. i am a believer that all kinds of expres

he used a robert kennedy quote which was unfamiliar to me, but he said that robert kennedy said moral courage is even rarer than physical courage. >> yeah, that's great. >> the ability to go against what your constituents or your peer group or your friends say. he said, i don't have to worry about that because my constituents, they agree with me. i'm in a safe democratic seat. but for the senators who are in political peril, i thought that was a very meaningful way to put the issue. >> as i'm sitting there watching, i said, i wonder if anyone in that room was embarrassed, but i don't know. have we moved past that point? >> i think they left that at the door a long time ago. the interesting thing was the faux outrage about adam schiff's comments head on a pike. my point is they were only doing that because they couldn't argue the points. >> what did you think when you were sitting there watching this? the first thing that came to my mind was mr. smith goes to washington. i said, it wasn't quite that, but i thought it was brilliant. >> what happened to me, there were large gaps of time

and then i saw what robert kennedy meant by moral courage. few, he said, are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the wrath of their society. and then i understood by that just how rare moral courage is. how many of us are willing to brave the disapproval of our fellows, censure of our colleagues and wrath of our society? just as those who served in uniform can't fully understand those who have not serve in uniform understand what military service means, so too is there a different fraternity or sorority among those who have served in office. i tell my constituents, there's two types of jobs in congress and it's not democrats and republicans. it's those from a safe seat and those from an unsafe seat. and i'm sure the same is true of those from a safe state and unsafe state. it's why i think there's a certain chemistry between members who represent those swing districts and states, because they can step into each other's shoes. and one of the things that we in this fellowship of office holders understand that most people don't is

we wore our arm bands hoping that the christmas truce that robert kennedy had proposed would be takenriously and possibly could lead to an ending of the war, but to your point, this is all post world war ii, you know, the russians, the soviet union was our ally in world war ii to defeat the nazis and the japanese also, and following that -- that war, world war ii, there immediately began an arms race between the west and the soviet union, and the growth of this huge destructive potential in the nuclear arsenals of both sides. the fear it's -- in my view the nuclear weapon is an instrument of terror and the threat of the nuclear weapon is tantamount to terrorism. the mad, the mutually assured destruction, we were all living with a sort of a suicide pact. is that the kind of life that we want? if you read the quotations -- i often carry them with me, but i don't have them right now -- dwight eisenhower our president in the early '50s who had been the supreme allied commander in world war ii warned us strongly against the growth of influence by the military industrial complex because he

with the help of attorney general robert kennedy josephine was allowed to return she was the only woman to speak at the march. by. the. new. josephine and this major event that we now know was mostly organized by male civil rights leaders the women who were involved pushed to the side that's apparent this is that it matters josephine arrives like an emissary. from abroad and that international aspect is not to be a little and she is wearing a miss sex symbol the glamour of jade the girl as she is wearing the uniform of the free french army and she didn't have to come you know the just the fact that she flew across the atlantic not for her career but to link generations of black achievement of black entertainment and of black struggle. was absolutely thrilling. until the march on washington every time i went to the states my stomach was in knots for the 1st time i returned to france with a sense of freedom. my struggle had been right i went to washington to pass on the tour to those who want to listen. so that they could have the same chances i had without having to run away now that my

and then robert kennedy and albert gore senior he worked for mccarthy he was a difficult man and kennedy probably got the job to his father and he also wiretapped as attorney general and two things happened one more tragedy for the kennedy family and that changed him to be sure and was much more introspective. but the other thing as lincoln use to say his staff wanted him to stay in the white house but lincoln said no i have to go. my study that bobby really did go out and listen and get public opinion but it came out of a dinner i had with peter adelman who started off as a canidae staffer. and then running the head start program and those that refuse to do it for head start so kennedy came to the delta and just saw awful poverty she did not like kennedy's because john kennedy's judges went through the eastland committee he would not allow kennedy to appoint anybody that were mostly segregationist eisenhower appointed better judges and those that were done right or not kennedy so he had no use with kennedy but then bobby showed up and then married him several years later.

against my client, against his family, by a frustrated justice department and the attorney general robert kennedyt gun out of his hand! >> that was not a real gun, was it? >> how'd that gun get in? >> it wasn't my fault! >> that's my son! that's my kid! i raised this kid! see him? see what he did? >> i didn't feel it, i just took a little impact. then he brought a bb gun. but i charged him. i charged him and so did chuck if you notice. i taught him well. you charge a guy, always charge a guy with a gun. with a knife, you run away. run away from a knife. charge with a gun, knife, run away. >> jimmy: al pacino in "the irishman." i love that movie. it's so great to see you guys together again. that effect they did, they made you 40 years younger. was that unusual for you?

robert kennedy and dr.nd as you suggested there were several other festivals going on. >> yes, the other festivals were take for example the monterey festival in 1966 in monterey, and it was much more commercial, and the industry controlled it h and much moreat stayed and you paid the money and sat there any listened to the bands. woodstock was not that. the multi day aspect of it while not unique, but the fact that people were camping and the fact that people were after a short period of time had to make do with what they had and it re created a cultural milieu with that festival, and there were en other festivals after it relatey to for woodstock, but that momen 1969 when people were so hungry for something good, something peaceful, and something that t s commemorated the best possibilities that the young people could express, i think that is what gave it its power, and it is the specific time in which it occurred, the place it occurred and the unexpected qualities that it brought forth for so many is wha

an antiwar candidate, of eugene mccarthy entering the race and the new hampshire primary and robert kennedy entering their waste the race. peace talks would have led to a different trajectory even if it did not and the war. this is based prime early on communist archives from poland, former soviet union, hungarian archives, vietnamese sources, and it does suggest there may well have been missed opportunities to either end the war sooner or open peace talks years sooner. and of course, hundreds of thousands of lives sooner, than actually happened. so my research does suggest that peace talks should have started earlier. a second question, and this relates to a colleague's book that i would recommend him a has to do with what was the impact of the moratorium movement? of the antiwar movement in late 1969? research has very strongly demonstrated, and this is also since don-unlike soviet meet was too shy to hold up his own book-john has written many books on the war and he also writes about the story. in the fall of 1969 richard nixon with henry kissinger strongly desired to try and escalatory

funding from congress to do that, and then it continued to progress taking on candidates after robert kennedy's assassination, and started taking on the heads of state to children and wives and spouses of protech tees, and so, we will get into some of that as we go through the program. >> can you talk about the training academy out in beltsfield, maryland, and the total number of agents. for instance, with this presidential candidate campaign coming up with 24 candidates and how much manpower does that require? >> it is a considerable challenge, and every campaign season is a challenge, and history proves that we have done a good job at handling that, and it is a tremendous challenge for the men and women in the secret service, and to their credit, we do a marvelous job in my view, and when we are looking at the history of the country, and most of the world events, the secret service is behind the scenes allowing the events to take place, and lot of it has to do with the training. we have a terrific training facility in beltsfield, maryland, and you will see the examples tonight where the train

then i saw was robert kennedy meant by moral courage., he said, are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues and the wrath of their society and then i understood by that measure just how rare moral courage is. how many of us are willing to brave the disapproval of our fellows and the wrath of our society. just as those who served in uniform can't fully understand those who have not served in uniform can't fully understand what military service means and there is a fraternity or sorority among those who served in office. i would tell my constituents there are two kinds of jobs in congress and it is not democrats and republicans. it is those from a safe seat and those from an unsafe seat. and those from a safe state or unsafe state. it is why i think there is a certain chemistry between members who represent those swing districts, because they can step into each other's shoes. and one of the things we in this fellowship of officeholders understand that most people don't is that real political coura

approved by the attorney general, but if you are wiretapping his phone, you did, and, of course, robert kennedyproved the fbi wiretapping martin luther king's phone. so the idea it is as secret as we might like may not be so true. the last thing i will say on this question and then open it up, in the 1970's, there was a very, very concerted effort to build more transparent structures. the freedom of information act, the congressional intelligence committee, the fisa courts, this moment of reform energy, as michael said, that lasted through the 1980's and 1990's to some degree, but was really undone by 9/11. one of the questions, whether we will have a moment of that kind of reform energy and scrutiny again. i don't think the energy is really there for it, the political energy, but i don't know. it might be one of the end results of a kind of "trump battles the deep state." comment,ould just -- a one of the things that struck me about your question, mary, was the comment there is no adversarial process. and i think, you know, this speaks to some of the persistent themes of our three papers. we t

kennedys were. his father, his brother, robert f. kennedy. in fact they were supporters of joe mccarthy.bobby kennedy, who became attorney general under his brother, actually worked for mccarthy. mccarthy, mccarthy is godfather to rfk's oldest daughter. mccarthy dated one of the kennedy girls. he had been at the kennedy compound in hyannis port. they were really close. they were intense, irish catholic anti-communists, the kennedys and mccarthy. so kennedy really wants castro out. and by that point, in 1960, so did nixon. nixon became convinced that this guy had to go. he had to be removed. eisenhower, however -- so the world does not know this, but the eisenhower administration was already working on a plan, a covert action plan, to try to take out castro. but eisenhower did not want to act on it, especially prior to the election, because he thought it would look like they were trying to influence the election. nixon later wrote about this in one of his first memoir books. it is called "six crises," which is a great book, really, really good. so what did they do? nixon and kennedy had a

one of my heroes, senator robert f kennedy quoted the greek playwright ask elyse on the evening of the assassination of doctor martin luther king jr. and those words still give us comfort, quote, and even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until in our own despair, against our will comes wisdom through the awful grace of god. over the past weeks we have been brought together as one new jersey family. first in shock, then in morning and now in our commitment to stamping out anti-semitism. i want to be clear, we are committed to ensuring that our communities of faith have the resources they need to be safe. i will probably sign legislation to provide additional security aid for our house is a 4 ship and to expand the definition of and penalties for domestic terrorism. [applause] >> i think both sides of the aisle for the support and in particular my friend, assemblyman derek scherer for championing this cause, thank you. the scar of anti-semitism on our state is still fresh. the grief of four families is also still fresh. lets us commit to using the

he was talking about robert f. kennedynd talking about how bobby kennedy argued that moral courage is a rarer commodity than deprabravery in battle and the congressman struggled to understand that. and his point was that at a time like this, you have to have the strength to stand up even to trump. >> few, he said, are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, is censure of their colleagues, and the wrath of society. and then i understood by that measure just how rare moral courage is. how many of us are willing to brave the disapproval of our fellows, censure of our colleagues, and the wrath of our society? >> how will this play in that room? let's discuss are hilary rosen and ron brownstein. ron, help us understand why republicans feel pinched by this president the way they do. >> well, they are -- they share the same constituency with him. he represents the core of their base. 53 republican senators, 51 of them are from states that voted for donald trump. they're down only two republicans left. cory gardner in c

and then i saw what robert kennedy meant by moral were courage. to brave the disapproval of their fello fellows, the censure of their colleagues and the wrath of their society. and then i understood by that measure just how rare moral courage is, how many of us are willing to brave the disapproval of our fellows, the censure of our fellows and the wrath of our society. just as those who have served in uniform can't fully understand those who have not served cannot fully understand what military service means, so, too, there is a different kind of fraternity or sorority of those who served in office. i tell my constituents two kinds of jobs in congress. it's not democrats and republicans. it's those from a safe seat and those from an unsafe seat. and i'm sure the same is true of those from a safe state and unsafe state. it's why i think there's a certain chemistry between members who represent those swing districts and states. because they can step into each other's shoes. and one of the things that we in this fellowship of officeholders understand

lawyers most live white men, called themselves liberal, 1960s, it was a cause taken up by a robert f kennedy jr. they led the first behavioral reform movement and said, it's unsuspensional and wrong and immoral to cage people because they can't make a payment and after years of advocacy within the bureaucracy they were successful and passed the federal bail act. and the day before the act went into effect, 24% of automatic people were detain because the cooperate make a monetary payment.... we actually are aging three times more people and more discriminatory from a socioeconomic class perspective than before. i think the answer to this potential paradox lies in the fact that those reforms are led by elites, people who control the punishment of geography. it wasn't any kind of change in underlying power dynamics that created the bureaucracy that the rule and class uses to control certain populations. i think back over the history of the american judiciary, what made us think that institutions like the courts and congress were ever going to be the source of radical social justice. he looked b

kennedy: like robert kraft? >> no i think it was more pg than at kennedy. i think it's about the election. when you said was gonna cover the book i thought it was in a big fall down and stars actually. like they had to put on the front ends of their cars. so jamie, she is right you are not going to get 14 senators to flip over and somehow side with democrats here. so is the point of this just to hurt the president and if so is that working? >> look there is a slim chance as you said that they're going to move over to remove president trump. the chani republicans you need. that slim chances john bolton. you mentioned earlier there's a lot of new democratic heroes and many have felt needs but the one and didn't as john bolton. and i don't think it is called before the senate's and change that record and lien cause perjury. so if he comes there and says -- kinda gives in the room type of statement that really does compel the senate to question at least republicans to question the narrative they've built around this perfect call might not be true, maybe there i
