guest: robert kennedy junior, the son of rfk, has said he believes his uncle, president kennedy, was killed by a conspiracy from within his own government. i do not know if he has talked about the cia specifically, but he believes his uncle was killed by enemies in the u.s. government, and he has said that repeatedly over the years. host: we'll hear next from david. david is from missouri. good morning. caller: good morning. i would like to ask your opinion on a book i'm sure you have read. tom hartman from free-speech tv and a co-author of his, partnering with a journalist, he had a book on this and it coincides with the organized crime and the cia being involved. thank you very much. guest: i have read tom hartman's book. i do not agree with all of it, but the picture he paints, the situation in 1963 that kennedy was in, the forces against him, i think his book is good on that particular -- on the setting of the assassination and what happened. who kennedy's enemies were at that time. host: we have a viewer who asked, you referenced him, but wanted to know more about jack ruby, wha

president lyndon johnson and john connally, the texas mayor, the new york city mayor robert wagner, robert kennedy, his mother rose, wife ethel. and of course the hoover family and other dignitaries attended this funeral. and the family group or mr. hoover's two sons. herbert jr. and allen and their wives margaret and margaret. and they're six grandchildren. the reverend terrence j. thinly, director of saint barr the bartholomew's, conducted the service. st. bartholomew's we opened the public. and there you see the director. i and the people lined up around the block, located at 51st and park avenue in new york city, waiting to view mr. hoover's flag covered casket. between the 21st and 22nd, some 22,000 people paid their respects at st. bartholomew's church. and the church was open from nine to three on the 22nd. and then three to five. and then nine. the next morning, october 22nd, the family and friends arrived at the church, the u.s. military academy band, along with cadets from west point, were on hand. and hundreds of people watched from across the street. the joint service honor cordon line

. >> responding to criticism of the covid vaccine from robert f kennedy jr. the covid-19 vaccine is not the vaccine it's like robert f kennedy in the report claimed the covid-19 vaccines are the most deadly. i think that is reported the cdc and open database anyone can report anything but fine the covid-19 vaccines are safe and comparable to other vaccines. in particular the worst response and how often have we seen that? >> there is a lot of misinformation out there. i think it's really important that people understand what is the latest science that we know and science can change over time. this is what we know now this is what's not correct. i think correcting misinformation is so important. it's the willful propagation of false information. and so this is been a challenge it. i think we all know from the outset of the pandemic. the best thing we can do is to meet people where they are, answer whatever questions they may have. not have any kind of judgment to respect and provide to the best of our ability with scientific information to use the best decision

king's assassination, lyndon johnson gets out of the race, robert kennedy's assassinated, chicago descendsthe democratic convention and george wallace wins 13.5% of the vote in five states. 1968 is also the first year america ever had an integrated electorate. think about that. the first presidential year after the 1965 voting rights act was the first time a multiracial democracy was actually recognized fully by the constitution by legislation. so we're really only about 56 years old. what happened in 1958 was the two clashing views of slavery and freedom and power and identity and faith and what worries me most is what happened in 1858 was the power of passion and pride to overcome reason and genuine devotion in the declaration. >> what do you think of, doris? >> what i think of when i think of the 1850s is some ways it does remind me of where we are today in a scary sense in they had a partisan press, just as we do now. if you're listening to one of the debates between steven douglas and abraham lincoln or reading the republican newspaper, they will say he's triumphant, carried out in th

but we've put together, to show, the juxtaposition of someone who campaigned for robert kennedy. and who was killed. and he ends up as nixon's competitor, for nixon's domestic policy. and so we have a very short clip from firing line in which william buckley introduces the then democrat moynahan. and we butted it up against a very short excerpt from a phone conversation in october of 1971. this will give you an idea of the nixon moynahan dynamic, the relationship and interplay between these two minds. because they were really intellectuals working on that policy. >> daniel patrick moynahan's assistant to the president for urban affairs. the last time i saw him at once he was speaking at a rally very appropriately scheduled on halloween night. >> [laughs] >> and he predicted the end of the world if nixon was elected to following week. >> good morning mister president. >> where are you? >> i'm in new york writing a speech which i'm going to give at the united nations and give the russians a little bleep. >> have you got a minute? >> yes i do, sir. >> i know you are writing a speech

and we put together to show this sort of juxtaposition of someone who'd been campaigning for robert kennedy the week he was killed and then ends up as nixon -- the head of nixon's domestic policy. so we have a very short clip from firing line in which william buckley introduces the then democrat moynihan. and we butted up a very short phone conversation from october '71. this would give you an idea of the nixon-moynihan dynamic, the relationship and sort of interplay between these two minds because they were really intellectuals. >> last time i saw him he was speaking at a rally for hubert humphrey. >> hello. >> good morning, mr. president. >> where are you? >> i'm in new york writing a speech which i'm going to give today at the united nations and give the russians a little hell. >> good. you got a minute? >> i do, sir. >> in fact i'm writing a speech and delivering tonight at 7:30. we're right in the middle of it but you can listen. is your retention time that long? >> i never -- >> don't admit it, yeah. >> can i just say to you that the new yorkers running three long, long sections and i

one featured prominent anti-vaxxers like robert kennedy jr.istian leaders don't want to talk about it, as "the washington post" pointed out in this story. joining me is someone who will talk about it, bob smietana, a former president of the news association. tell us about marcus lamb, for those who doesn't watch his program on daystar, what was he telling viewers on covid-19? >> true. marcus lamb was the head of one of the largest christian broadcasters. he was telling people covid vaccines were dangerous, alternative medicines were better. really there was kind of a conspiracy by the government and the big pharma and the news e news media to give disinformation. he felt he was given the truth about the covid vaccine. >> and how does this relate to the larger scanned lane of christian broadcasting? has there been a lot of anti- -- have there been a lot of vaccine denialism on other networks or programs or broadcast networks as well? >> there's been some. lamb did that. a prominent broadcaster eric metaxas who was anti-vaccine. you get some fin

of change and put together to show this juxtaposition of somebody who had been campaigning for robert kennedythe week he was killed and then ends up as nixon's -- the head of nixon's domestic policy. so we have a very short clip from firing line in which william buckley introduces the then democratic moynihan or the then -- the humphrey partisan moynihan. and we butted it up against a very short excerpt of a phone conversation in october '71. it's a longer conversation. but this will give you an idea of the nixon/moynihan dynamic, the relationship. and sort of the interplay between these two minds. because they were really intellectuals working on that plane on a policy front. >> daniel patrick moynihan is assistant to the president for urban affairs. indeed the last time i saw him, he was speaking at a rally for hubert humphrey, appropriately scheduled on halloween night, at which the orters were predicting the end of the world if nixon was elected the following week. n and his ear retention time that >> good morning mr. president. >> where are you? >> i'm in new york writing a speech, which

alas, the associated press did a deep dive into robert kennedy jr.alth defense, have profited from a massive anti-vaccine campaign that uses slanted information and conspiracy theories to spread distrust of the vaccine. according to the ap, kennedy was named one of the disinformation dozen by the center for countering digital hate, which says that he and the children's self-defense website are among the top spreaders of false information about vaccines online. this comes as we are facing a winter tsunami of the delta and omicron variants. the centers for disease control is warning that deaths in the united states will soar by 73%, or more than 15,000 a week. the cdc also expects the united states to reach 1.3 million new infections by christmas. mayor bill de blasio announced today that new york city has experienced a significant increase in cases, and that the omicron variant is here in full force. in fact, new york state reported 18,000 new cases today alone, which is close to the pandemic record. reports of long lines attesting locations throughou

the book was actually written by robert f. kennedy junior dives into the secrets behind covert vaccines and the false narrative, the doctor found she is some kind of hero. however, the form of funded media has given it 0 pressed. why not, if, if they want to discredit, why not put it out there and let the truth actually set the record straight? if they think that's not what's in the book. yeah, let me just say 1st that this is the best selling book in america. over the last month, it's been number one on the wall street journal best seller list number one on the usa today, best seller list number one on the publisher's weekly best seller list. and yet it hasn't received a single review in a major newspaper, even the places where he was on top of their best. that's amazing man and being a part of the book world, it's all about number. it's all about looking. but a book like this, it is getting those numbers. you would think it be hard to ignore and yet they're finding, they can do that. now. also take a look at this tweet that was sent out by texas senator ted cruz and it shows the cnn.

it's a different situation than robert f. kennedy, or hillary clinton suddenly becoming new yorkers. right? but where's the action? when that is again dr. odds running for pennsylvania and he's just rented a place they qualify him for it, but steve is parents point the republicans are getting out of the blue states. the blue state people are staying, is that not making these to the united? basically permanently putting these colors in a state that the republicans are displaying blue states and not even gonna try to fight for them. i think we're seeing the same thing all across the line, particularly in the house of representatives, all of the just or drawn to be either more republican or more democrat. you've only got about 40 or 50 of the 435 house seats that are really marginally up for grabs. so it makes both parties only have to adhere to their partisans in primaries, which is why you see the squad having so much impact with the democrats. there are no moderate democrats, because all the democrats are afraid of a primary opponent, like we've seen, happen in some of the cases wher

guertin sat all night with robert f. kennedy in his indianapolis hotel room after the senator told a heart broken crowd of martin luther king junior's murder. the next day he organized a memorial to dr. king at the soldier and sailors monument at the city's center. now, indianapolis is one of the few metropolitan areas in america that did not erupt in violence after dr. king's death. senator kennedy's beautiful and conciliatory speeches often credited for this, but the work of dr. guertin and other city leaders played just as important a part. long after the civil rights movement he preached kindness and love and labored to advance opportunity. he served as vice president for the indianapolis branch of the naacp. he was twice the vice president of the billy graham crew side and regularly hosted the emancipation proclamation service, an annual celebration of that document of freedom. always searching for ways to help his neighbors and the late 1990's. dr. guertin transformed a boarded up indianapolis strip mall into a community c

the us and boyfriend around robert, molly's spoke with our white house correspondent, kennedy hawker before leaving for the austrian capital. and she started by asking him why the u. s. is still moving to tighten sanctions, while more chalks are being held. is it helpful to be pushing for that as you're trying to get a deal, we are prepared to get back into the deal as soon as possible soon as are on is and we would lift all of the sanctions are inconsistent with adjacent to it. but in the meantime, we can stand by and not be prepared for world in which iran may be choosing to delay build its program, try to build more leverage, we honestly have to respond. and so that's what we're doing. we're preparing ourselves for that, that outcome. how concerned are you or how concerned is the united states that israel could potentially drag the united states into an armed conflict with iran? we are privileging the path of diplomacy. we think it's the best way. it's best for us. we suspect it's best we're wrong, but iran will have to decide that as president biden is secretary blinking has both
