repeated by robert kennedy, who at that time was a senator and won the primary election for the post resident of the united states, there are many versions why killed the kennedy brothers we will voice the most popular and possibly reveal the secrets of the political and financial elites of the united states, we will begin with the assassination of john f. kennedy well, i think i will not lie if i say that this is the most high-profile political assassination of the 20th century. moreover, one of this is also one of the mysteries of the 20th century, since the murder has not yet been solved and is unlikely to ever be solved. and it became a tragedy, a tragedy not only for the people of the united states of america for the whole world, since kennedy was the most popular figure there was no other such president in the united states and probably will not be a beautiful young, courageous war hero, a favorite of women, a beautiful wife, jackie kennedy, that is, everything was with him and such a tragedy. it happened so that he was driving in a car with the governor of texas, horseman, his

jacqueline kennedy and her children, and president johnson and his wife and robert kennedy, the late president's brother. beneath the dome of the capital, the casket rests on a catacomb. 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. then it is the people of america who come to pay their last respects to president kennedy. over a quarter of 1 million stream through the rotunda. many wait as long as ten hours. they wait through the chilly night. 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 had the possession of walking orders. including heads of state who have come from far away for this final march of homage. all follow the late president's casket, walking from the white house to saint matthews cathedral. at the cathedral, richard cardinal cushing of boston will celebrate for mr. kennedy the requiem mass of the catholi

i've pictured him with his brother robert kennedy because the brothers together had great influence on us intelligence. there's a lot to say about us intelligence center kennedy, even though he served less than a full term because of course he was assassinated by a pro-cuban american leftist a disturbed former marine named lee harvey oswald at the end. i'll have have some reflections about the assassination. before we get to the main intelligence events of this administration. i want to mention a couple of other developments that they're not as spectacular, but still they deserve to be remembered as important milestones in us intelligence history and they leave a legacy to this day. one of them is the president's daily brief. which was created for kennedy as the president's intelligence checklist when i first came to cia in 1990 i was i learned that one of the nicknames that insiders used was the pickle factory. they never use the company, but they used the term the pickle factory and i couldn't figure out what it was until later. i became a ci historian and heard about the pickle. the

i can't think of our justice department been disc committed to civil rights since robert kennedy and the civil rights movement were filed, martin luther king and john lewis. so this is a historic day on every level. and you think about the fact that they have plenty of me overwhelming proof that these officers not jas was negligently execute and, and no not warrant but to make appointment. they also bad. oh warner that led to deadly conflict with that led to deadly consequences of this innocent black woman and knew they were like jennifer clock and the f b. i. agents who were working with the civil rights division. they made a point to acknowledge that they know they will fossil find the documents and that is critically important because they knew that those officers were likely rely on their falsified documents. that they would likely come to brianna's upon me, come to brianna's appointment, and kick in the door. they know that these fossil fat documents, this search war, would lead them to think that it was a dangerous situation that they were going to have guns drawn. and they kne

but we've put together, to show, the juxtaposition of someone who campaigned for robert kennedy. the week he was killed. and he ends up as nixon's head of nixon's domestic policy. and so we have a very short clip from firing line in which william buckley introduces the then-democrat moynahan or then-humphrey partisan 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 is assistant to the president for urban affairs. the last time i saw him at once he was speaking at a rally for hubert humphrey, 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 today at the united nations and give the russians a little heck. >> have you got a

a lot of the backers of robert kennedy, mccarthy, were pretty upset that he did that.hey started a movement in the democratic party and then eventually nationally, to have more emphasis on primaries and caucuses. the democrats, since they wrote the rules between 1968 in 1972 as a direct result of humphrey's nomination, they gave more power to primaries and caucuses. 1912 and 1968, candidates would run in primaries but it is mostly to prove their mettle, to prove they could get votes. a decision was still made by party leaders by the most part of the convention floor. after 1968 that was no longer the case. 72 with mcgovern he was the first nominee who won his nomination entirely on the basis of primaries and caucuses. i think we don't often appreciate how much that has changed american politics. we took away political parties as gatekeepers. you know? there is no longer this filter there. television already contributed to the rise of the candidate if you think about it, the nomination.. i think it's overdone for a large part because of that. no longer political party s

robert kennedy is killed. but beyond these extraordinary moments, there is a kind of violence downstream. election workers being attacked, ordinary folk being attacked. i think we need to be clear about that. and i think we all need to understand in this, moments ali, that we are finding people who are being self radicalized as they are kind of engaging on a line. and we see these people who aren't belonging to organizations, engaging in violence, or being threatened to engage in violence. i think you are absolutely right in this regard. but also i want to say this really quickly. we have to be very careful of collapsing all of this with donald trump. trump is a kind of symbolic figure who is representing these focal believes that they are in a cultural and demographic threat. that underlying cause is not going away, even if donald trump is locked up. >> it is a very valid point. joyce, on friday night we had a conversation with your sister in law college ill wine-banks, he was very involved in watergate. beca

robert kennedy stepped in after the be a pegs and began the real gatekeeper and councilor, somebody jfkcould trust. performing a similar role to what edith did. next, plus. i think the person she was most like i would compared to admiral william leahy, especially in fdr's final year of office. fdr was much thicker than wilson was. he helps make major decisions about the presidency, for the president in that critical final year of office. he is doing the same thing, informally, he is considered a great hero but edith is suspect for what she did. next, please. my final thing, i will wrap this up fast, she dismisses everything she does. she dismisses a, i did not do anything that important, i did not do anything that critical, i just stepped unlike any wife would, and the first lady would, but she created a role that has been going to become much more important as 20th century goes on. historians have dismissed her. i learned about this, you see that writing tablet. sheffield writing tablet after writing tablet with her memoirs and out of that will come her autobiography. next, please. in

relative in the future who stepped in in a crisis to act as an acting chief of staff, that was robert kennedy, who stepped in after the bay of pigs and became a real gatekeeper and counselor. somebody jfk can trust, performing a similar role to what -- has been, next, please. i think the person she was most like, i would compare her to -- especially in fdr's final year in office. fdr was sick, much, much slicker than wilson was. and he helps make major decisions about the president, for the president in that critical final year of office. he didn't do the same thing informally. he's considered a great hero, but edith is often suspect for what she did. next, please. my final thing, i will wrap this up fast. she dismisses everything she does. she dismisses it, i didn't do anything that important, i didn't do anything that critical, i just stepped in, like, maybe any wife, would any first lady would. no, she created her role, which is going to become much more important as a 20th century goes on. the historians have dismissed her. i learned about -- writing tablet, she filled the writings of, it

primary and he was the last candidate to do that and a lot of the backers of eugene mccarthy and robert kennedy were pretty upset that he did that and so they started a movement in the democratic party and eventually nationally to have more emphasis on primaries and caucuses and so the democrats essentially rewrote the rules between 1968 and 1972 as a direct result of humphrey's nomination and they gave more power to primaries and caucuses before that. i mean starting between 1912 and 1968 candidates would run in primaries, but it was mostly to prove their medal to prove that they could get votes, but the decisions were still made by party leaders for the for the most part on the convention floor after 1968. that was no longer the case and so 72 with mcgovern. he was the first nominee who one his nomination entirely on the basis of primaries and caucuses and and on and i think we we don't often appreciate how much that has changed american politics. we've we took away political parties as gatekeepers, you know, there's no longer this filter there and it i mean television already contributed to

robert f. kennedy. both instagram and facebook suspended children's defense from their platforms because of misinformation. kennedy's nonprofit is regularly criticized by public health advocates for misleading claims about vaccines and the covid pandemic. the organization compared facebook's actions to government censorship. >>> extreme heat and drought is gripping much of the country right now. 75% of the nation's farmers are dealing with the extreme conditions, and countless communities are under water emergencies. nbc's jay gray takes a closer look at our climate in crisis. >> america is drying up. ponds and lake, rivers and reservoirs, communities running dangerously low on water. >> it's tough to see. like you said, i've been here since 2007. and obviously, this is way lower than i've ever seen it. >> reporter: the levels are low most everywhere. in the northeast, water restrictions at 78 new hampshire communities. july the hottest on record in texas since 1895. and the fifth driest ever. 34% of th

the other is speaking of tussles on the conflict between robert kennedy and lyndon johnson, and so we were just talking before we went on camera. jeff is just so good at developing dramatic tension and i would say about this book, which i thoroughly enjoyed and i think i may have mentioned to him. i certainly did others that when i'm getting ready to moderate a book discussion. i assign myself so many pages of the book to read a day so that i make sure i'm finished with it by the time the discussion begins and this one i assigned myself some time ago 10 pages a day, but it was literally a page-turner so i kept going past the 10 the 10 pages and read it in record time. so i highly recommend it to you. it's a little bit like if any of you out there have seen the movie apollo 13. i watched that movie every time it's on tv and i always burst into tears when they're all rescued and i know they're rescued but the tension always remains in this book. we know that john glenn eventually. successfully goes into space and becomes the first american to orbit the earth but there again is just that

trump say last week in vegas, this is the most active civil rights division since the days of robert kennedyas attorney general. by christian being there, the white house -- i don't understand why they're not touting the civil rights work. they put people in jail for -- all kinds of different people. that's why it matters to have people who care about civil rights in that position, and they're using it. they waited for those cops. they investigated. they didn't do with daniel cameron did, in kentucky, they said they were gonna pursue it as far as they can. that's how they're gonna get those indictments. the same thing is gonna happen with trump. they're gonna keep waiting until he keeps growing up, and then they're gonna get. when >> we talk about that, roland, when i watch people cover what's happening here, i watch people comment on what's happening here, i think we do tend to look at this through a different lens. we look at the people who stormed the capitol, and it is baffling. you are doing a fatal temper tantrum over politics, and we have never try to overthrow the government. we have

greater commitment to civil rights, i think, than any other justice department, say probably robert kennedyraged. >> let me get you on one more thing. you also represent the family of breonna, greer who fell out of a police car and died from injuries sustained in her falling out of the car. investigators explained the fellow officers had left the car door opened where she was sitting. can you give us a quick update on that case? >> thank you so much, this is georgia's brown that we are dealing with this morning, in 2022. on monday, we're gonna have alicia wilson and -- forensics at the university of michigan is going to give the preliminary autopsy results. so actually keel breonna greer, this black mother of three-year-old twin daughters, who was having a half -- mental health crisis, and ended up dead in police custody. >> it does this string credulity how the police -- and not secure the door. real fast, does the finlay believe the narrative that comes from investigators so far? >> the family, her parents have said, want answers, want the truth. because those little girls are going to gr
