kennedy. >> robert kennedy jr. the hearing today, it took him less than a minute to mention his father, and his uncle, president kennedy. >> censorship is antithetical to our party. it was appalling to my father. to my uncle. to fdr. >> the hearing was supposed to be about censorship, but it wasn't. since no one could come up with any examples of government censorship. robert kennedy jr. knows nothing about censorship, and obviously has no idea how much the american news media operated under strict government censorship during fdr's presidency. the fdr who robert kennedy praised today, who expert witness robert kennedy cited is as a staunch opponent of censorship. during world war ii, franklin delano roosevelt what is missing from the white house for great lengths of time, and the question of where he was was not allowed to be asked or answered. sometimes he was just away from the white house trying to recuperate from illness. and other times he was on secret missions to meet winston churchill and joseph stalin. and

uh it was uh, robert f. kennedy junior, who retreated to mat, saying that was a country is the most secrets it has. what could a president, robert f kennedy junior, due to the silicon valley companies to enforce the 1st amendment to the constitution? or it's not doing to anyone. it's just not the government having a government which understands that it has no right to reach into the private lives of people. it is no right to sentient sensor speech. that yes, there are limitations for re understand that from a justice oliver wendell holmes are said that you are right to swing your fist stands at the tip of my nose says tree stage and does have limitations. and we, kennedy presents well reestablish the government's limitations. the government will stop this government spying on people to stop the government using check companies to do this. originated with the government and the government using its power with tech companies. this, it didn't start, was the tech companies and necessarily coming up with this grant idea about the central issue. this is towards, from inside the government. and th

they are angry he does not toe the party line and donald trump, they can't stand robert kennedy jr. freethinker with classic liberal principles. today's democratic party is about compliance, about groupthink. stepping out of line can be unacceptable for many, especially for a kennedy. many democrats have circled the wagons around an 80-year-old cognitively impaired morally bankrupt career politician who has been credibly accused of plagiarism, bribery, public corruption from an outsider perspective, even the democratic party can do better. my next guest agrees and that is why he is challenging joe biden for the nomination. let's give a warm welcome, robert f. kennedy jr. [cheers and applause] grab a seat. how are you? they are all here to see me. i'm kidding. you have a lot of fans here. my first question, maybe we will learn something. you are in challenging a sitting u.s. president in your party. you have to have good reason to do so. >> thank you for having me. i saw a poll yesterday afternoon that set in 1985, 85% of americans were proud to be american. 85% between 18 and 30. a

but he especially did not like robert kennedy, the attorney general, his ostensible boss. in that case hoover knew an awful lot about the kennedys and they were concerned it would cost them the support of a southern democrats in their party. finally, richard nixon, by far his close this friend among the presidents. but as hoover started to get old and it defies some of what nixon wanted him to do, there are some funny moments where hoover says, that is illegal. j edgar hoover is the civil libertarian there. there is a moment where nixon sits down with hoover and says, edgar, you are in your mid-70's wouldn't it be fun to go? and it nixon says, ok and kind of gives in to hoover. who is more powerful the fbi director or the president? >> the fbi headquarters is the j edgar hoover building still today. what was his reputation among agents? >> i think the agents really respected hoover. he built the institution in his own image. really in the early years especially, hand selected agents that represented him and his views, a very particular image. when we think of an fbi agent o

i'm still here with robert f. kennedy junior, his presidential campaign manager, and twice us democrat presidential contented himself. dennis consent h. uh dennis we were talking about was in the 1st off of robert f. kennedy junior. what do you negotiate? peace with boots when he stop sending weapons to zalinski. how would he does he see that ukraine wars are forever war? one of the forever was going to it shouldn't be, should've never been a war. there was a minister minister agreement which could have headed off to any kind of conflict which we see now, which after you remember that there are those in the united states document who are driven by audio audiology. and it's, it's a throwback, they're working with the 19th century, st. united states, the united states as the so the agent in a unipolar world had to go to wherever was disappeared. quite a while ago. we live in a multiple world or whether star for everyone or not, or, or for none. and the lack of understanding which exists in our foreign policy makers today. as regardless of the process of a nuclear conflict with russia of

uh it was uh, robert f. kennedy junior, who retreated to mat, saying that was a country is the most secrets it has. what could a president, robert f kennedy junior, due to the silicon valley companies to enforce the 1st amendment to the constitution? oh, it's not doing to anyone, it's just not the government having a government which understands that it has no right to reach into the private lives of people. it is no right to sentient sensor speech dead. yes, there are limitations for being understand that from a justice oliver wendell holmes are said that you are right to swing your fist stands at the tip of my nose, says tree stage and does have limitations. and we, kennedy presents well reestablish the government's limitations. the government will stop this government spying on people to stop the government using check companies to do this. originated with the government and the government using its power with the tech companies. this, it didn't start was the tech companies and necessarily coming up with this grant idea about censorship is towards, from inside the government. and, you kn

and here, er, robert kennedy used to speak. tioned how his uncle, that is, president john kennedy, spoke to khrushchev, they could call back whenever they wanted, and he robert kennedy says what exactly they are looking for the truth in such conversations, the truth. he underestimates or overestimates putin . there is no truth in any conversations with putin . putin loves only our strength . yuriy is listening and taking part in our joint broadcast. and they are also watching what is happening, the rockets have entered the lviv region, so the residents of lviv region, please don't ignore them, go through the debriefing, it's still early to get out of there, sit, wait, look for places where wi-fi is catching or where the internet is catching. watch us, we will be to inform you about what is happening, the russian minister of war serhiy shaigu arrived on a visit to the drumbeat of the dprk, which we usually call north korea . this was reported by both the russian and north korean mass media propaganda according to the published in

robert kennedy jr. will join us in moments straight off of his explosive hearing this morning on the hill where he got his record blasted. democrats, the government and big tech for trying to silence him. >> i've spent my life in this party. i've devoted my life to the values of this party. this is an attempt to censor me. it's antithetical to our party. it's appalling to my father, to my uncle. we need to be able to talk and the first amendment was not written for easy speech. it was written for the speech that nobody likes you for. >> martha: that was just the beginning. he joins us in moments live. plus, john kirby will join us on set in moments from the white house. he will be here in the studio as well. today we're hearing more from one of hunter biden's whistle-blower's. joe zeigler was the person whose name had been -- was disclosed yesterday. he was known as mr. x till now. he tells cbs news what happens when he and his team at the irs felt that they needed to investigate president biden. watch.

over robert kennedy junior. her voters, those who either don't hold a favorable view of him, or those that hold don't approve of joe biden's job as president, kennedy is actually ahead. but here's the thing for kennedy, most democratic voters like joe biden, and that is why biden is still well ahead in this race. >> and what it across party lines? >> yeah, so where is robert kennedy junior's support, right? perhaps it wouldn't be so surprising that is favorable rating is much higher amongst republicans than it is amongst democrats. amongst democrats, in fact, robert kennedy junior's unfavorable rating is above his favorable rating. it is the reverse with republicans, and that is a fact that we see with a lot of the donations that he has been getting, it's from republican donors. he is appearing on conservative programs. that is the people who like robert f. kennedy junior, not really democrats. >> ariana, recreated. >> thank you. >> has minority hakeem jeffries won't say if progressive -- pramila jayapal will fac

> how has the biden campaign handled the fact that even though he's not in close contention, robert f kennedyunior has been on national ngprograms getting a fair amount of media attention for that, how is the biden campaign handling robert kennedy junior? >> i think the strategy has remained relatively unchanged by the media appearances into different public events that he's doing. they haven't really directly engaged with him and i think we will continue to see him continue the strategy of highlighting and touting his accomplishments and not necessarily going on the attack with robert f kennedy junior at this point. >> covering politics for acts he goes you can follow also on twitter. thank you so much for being here this morning. >> thank you. >> a healthy democracy doesn't just look like this. it looks like this where americans can see democracy at work because citizens are truly informed and the republic thrives. get informed straight from the sources on c-span. unfiltered, unbiased, word for word on the nation's capital to wherever you are because the opinion that matters the most is you

they go after robert kennedy junior.ear him, smear his name, all for what challenging biden, they will do anything to protect biden they know he's a crook, his family is crooked and is mentally incapacitated but putting their agenda and place, the most radical agenda in history because is put people throughout the government, obama holdover's and so forth, and they're doing this work in the country and killing it. what we've learned in the last few weeks even longer about the biden family i'm not quite to complicate this with names and dates, let's make it really simple the biden crime family including the dog at the top is accused of bribery, extortion, wire fraud, tax evasion, money laundering through shell corporations, conspiracy to do it all. they've received tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and corporations, where is all that money? , where is your money, where is it? you are still hiding it. that is what is going on. what is the source of this information that i just laid out for you? hunter bi

robert kennedy jr.? >> robert kennedy jr. you know that this is r.as pl dangerous place. >> is he cognitively strong enough to be your president? pi >> well, he's never been verdey s, you know.rd all right. ou get you get an a-plus for that a answer. is hn a+e is he up to the job?jo i first of all, let me ask, how many of you here think he is not up to the job? >> let me hear now, i know thata there's a reluctanceus from politicians in your you're you're a democratic party guy. you said that at the censorship hearing where they censorea d. you and you devoted your life to things you believe in. and it's probably hardate yo for you to say that. >> but do you really think he's up to the job? no, buin.t i wouldn't i'm not reluctant to say that for partisan reasons. you know, i'm an okay what i've tried to do during this campaign is avoid attackse tr on people. all right. i will say i won't say whether he's up to it or not, whether he's making his own decision. the decisions that are coming out of the white house are badeh decisi

robert f. kennedy jr., is a living, breathing, false flag operation. his whole campaign is being run by right-wing political operatives who have one objective. try to take down president joe biden. that's why robert f. kennedy jr. was given a congressional platform. on this week of all weeks. because my extreme maga republican colleagues are not interested in doing anything meaningful to improve the economy, address inflation, create jobs, or deal with public safety concern, particularly around the gun violence epidemic that are afflicting the american people. reporter: there are only a limited number of days left before you leave for august recess. a about the resolution about santos? mr. jeffries: i have not had a discussion around the typing of the santos issue. the extreme maga republican majority is more concerned with defending serial fraudster george santos than defending the health, safety, or economic well being of the american people. we were told months ago that the ethics committee would conclude its work inen expedited way within 60 days. 6

and people know where to this is why robert of kennedy's presidential campaign is so important. because it's based on re establishing our constitutional freedoms. it's based on shaking the truth is based on a deep authenticity that americans here and to connect with again. and it's based on human. the national divide, which we've experienced, which often is propagated for purely political reasons. and we know that it's certainly possible for people of all nations to be able to find a way to work together live together. but those who are dedicated to keep these people apart profit from that, they profit from our sales to profit from sanctions. they profit from being able to a heightened tensions. all right, how's the trouble making a mistake about it? any more at the edge of a nuclear war? because of the fumbling to bumbling the unfortunate policies of the us government and other allied governments for nato to set the stage for greater and greater confrontation. why so, morris guns, rockets, munitions, it's all matches and the man does not stop and it will stop. when robert f ken

texan kennedy and robert kennedy believed that. -- jackson kennedy and robert kennedy believe that. who specifically was behind the crime, that is what is shrouded in secrecy. host: we are talking with him this morning in the wake of that release from the national archives of some of the still remaining redacted documents surrounding the investigation and this jfk assassination. if you want to join this conversation, you can do so by phone lines split regionally. eastern or central time zones, (202) 748-8000. mountain or pacific, (202) 748-8001. how many documents are still redacted? what do we think is in their? what don't we know about what is in there? guest: the jfk records collection as it has been collected by the national archives since 1990 consists of about 320,000 documents from a range of government agencies. most of those, probably a majority, are from the cia. the fbi and other agencies comprised a lot. of the documents that still remain secret, there is 4600 that contain reactions. these reactions might range from a single word or a name or a sentence, sometimes a para

caller: i am totally antiwar, and robert kennedy junior seems to be one of the few candidates talking about that issue. i want to us out of ukraine as soon as possible. host: let's go to clearwater florida. ellen is also a joe biden supporter. caller: good morning, c-span. i am a biden supporter. i appreciate everything he is doing and trying to do. if the republicans could just stay out of his way, h will makee this -- he will make this place easy-going. host: this is from politico this morning back to the theme of the economy, the headline is "top super pac -- congressional democrats are getting directions from the largest super pac. they advise that democrats can boost reelection chances when they focus on economic issues, according to a memo first obtained by politico. last week, representative kevin kiley criticized president biden on his so-called widenom -- bidenomics. >> that is the assessment of the overwhelming majority of americans who say that the economy is not doing well, that their own financial situation is -- real earnings have declined 3% over the last couple of year

here's all the proof you need that robert f kennedy junior has clout. republican dominated house committee invite him to speak on censorship. democrats on that the are the ones trying to censor him. what kennedy says about vaccines or the pandemic or democrats say he said about jews and a host of conspiracies. kennedy is more than just a challenger to the sitting president, he is increasingly becoming a real threat to the president and maybe the democratic party itself. republicans might want to be careful, this force of nature they invite to testify before them could be a force adding them. robert f kennedy's voice strained his messages and can snow -- unmistakably clear. food for thought, the lunch hour of the united states, let's dig in. we explore, you decide. glad to have you. what is it? still the leap to say bobby kennedy junior would complete what tragic fate tonight his father from achieving 55 years ago. the democratic residential nomination of the united states. given the reaction he elicits every time he speaks you have to wonder. hillary va

i'm funeral about was afraid of robert f. kennedy junior. well, apparently everyone in the political establishment and mainstream media very much like donald trump. he says, what do you think liberal pious, he's be damned, or k junior is fear, because he's fearless the to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, lionel in new york. he is a legal, the media analyst and in north florida we have tom longo. he is publisher of the gold goats and guns blog and newsletter. alright gentlemen, prospect rails and the fact that means you can jump any time you want and i always appreciate it. all right, i know it's got to go to you in new york um a little high probably on my part of my introduction there. um, uh, i'm not endorsing a robert f kennedy junior, but very much like be to 2016 but presidential campaign, which i was gonna skip this way. you know, to look if it's domestic politics. and then there was a guy named donald trump, and then there was a guy named bernie sanders about bernie sanders blamed the birds and crashed trumpets th

we're discussing the candidacy of robert f. kennedy junior. the eyes go back to the do you want to do a mentioned a few points before we went to our hard break it. yeah. garb allow said, i'm not a conspiracy theorist. i mean, i'm a conspiracy analyst, but i gotta tell you this much. and you can disagree all you want, but if we can put bobby kennedy on the couch and say, bobby, i think we know the people responsible for your father and your uncle, where are not the, the named actors in this particular passion play, you know, and, and i know what number to your own family, including jack swash bag, who was pulled up to this this uh this where he kind of a hostage video where he is. he is crashing him. bobby kennedy to the point where he said, you know what, i'm 70 years old. i'm going to go out and i'm going to make a mark. and let me also say something. the people that i could destroy, the people who destroyed my family. i took away my father and i was a kid for the people who are pushing joe by. and so what a beautiful way for me to leave my m

that's why robert kennedy jr. has emerged as a serious candidate.o you think he could do it, do you think he could do it, or kind of talk you heard about donald trump in to 20 saw. and these debates are starting next month with the republican, you're going to see a couple of what you might call cinderellas, i want to learn more about this person. jackie: yeah. maybe somebody like a tim scott, possibly. desantis is already calling out trump's sort of walking the line on the debate, not giving a definitive answer, you know, whether or not he'll participate. listen to this. >> we'll do well either way, but, i mean, i think he owes it to people the participate. nobody is entitled to be nominated. you've got to earn it. you've got to earn everything in this world. so i think you show up, i think you participate, i think you make your case, and i think you answer questions. jackie: i don't disagree with him, but i'm wondering what you think. do you think he will show up for that first debate? >> careful what you wish for. back in 1980, ronald reagan skipp

controversy in the republican race in his own primary like yesterday when he was asked about robert kennedy jr. whether he might be a possible running mate, and instead of a running mate, he offered another possibility. listen. >> yes, the medical stuff, i'm very good on that, and that does appeal to me, but there is a whole host of other things that he would be out of step with, and if you are president sick him on the fda or the cdc, but in terms of being the veep, 70% of issues that he is adverse to the base on, that creates an issue. >> and again, robert kennedy who has been a vaccine skeptic though he claims he is not anti-vax, and he claims that he is not saying that he would put him in charge of the cdc, that is raising concerns among some people, but on the republican side, mike pence and others said that you would employ robert kennedy jr. who is pro choice, pro abortion rights, and that is a problem, too, and it seems that desantis tries to appeal to other voters and creates problems for himself. >> yes, you are talking about the reboot, and that is to me, the perfect example that

go to a hard break and after that hard break, but continue our discussion on the candidacy of robert f. kennedy junior. say that r t the the welcome back to ground stuff were all things are considered. i and peter labelle, this is the home editions remind you were discussing the candidacy of robert f. kennedy junior. the let's go back to the do you want to do mention a few points before we went to our hard break? yeah. garb allow, said another conspiracy theorist. i mean, i'm a conspiracy analyst, but i gotta tell you this much. and you can disagree all you want. but if we can put bobby kennedy on the couch and say, bobby, i think we know the people responsible for your father and your uncle, or we're not the, the named actors in this particular passion play. you know, and, and i know what number to your own family, including josh was bag school was pulled up to this, this uh, this where he kind of a hostage video where he is, he is crashing him. bobby kennedy to the point where he said, you know what, i'm 70 years old. i'm going to go out and i'm going to make a mark. and let me also say somet

that was on display again today, as robert f. kennedy jr. ng convened by house republicans. lisa desjardins explores what has captured the attention of some voters. lisa: the first major 2024 surprise, democrat robert f. kennedy jr. has sparked double-digit support in polls, controversy on airwaves, and a headache for president joe biden. this spring, the 69-year-old environmental lawyer launched his campaign highlighting his famous political family, speaking in massachusetts with a sea of “kennedy for president” signs. robert: i have come here today to announce my candidacy for the democratic nomination for president of the united states. lisa: an echo of the past impossible to miss. ag kennedy: i am announcing today my candidacy for the presidency of the united states. lisa: the son of senator robert f. kennedy, who was assassinated months after launching his campaign for president and nephew of john f. kennedy, killed while president. robert: my father and my uncle had a vision for america. lisa: on one hand, this kennedy leans into his fa

how is the biden campaign handling robert kennedy jr.? guest: i think the strategy has remained relatively unchanged, despite what the media appearances and different public events that kennedy jr. is doing. they have not directly engaged with him and i think we will continue to see him -- see the biden campaign continued the strategy of highlighting and touting his legislative accomplishments and not necessarily going on the attack with robert f. kennedy, jr. at this point. host: aaron dority covers politics for axios. you can follow her on axios.com. thank you so much for being here this morning. guest: thank you. host: we continue with our open forum here on "washington journal," up until about 9:15 eastern. (202)-748-8000, the line to call for democrats. republicans, use (202)-748-8001. independents and all others, (202)-748-8002. donald is in omaha, nebraska on the independent line. good morning. caller: i had a question for that young lady that was just there. is there any truth to what aoc said about trump giving the manhattan d.a.

in this case, i mean on the territory of ukraine as already emphasized by robert kennedy, the younger famous us president and the son of the iconic american politician, senator robert kennedy sr., russia has actually declared war on the united states. he performs against this war. he believes that this movement of the third world in the united states is growing every day, those who are from universities, public figures, scientists, who oppose the whole dangerous construction. we need to understand that plus another similar president. sick, well, at different ages, people manifest themselves in one way or another in different ways. there are people older than him, who every year look younger, but unfortunately, this is not passed biden. he just can't even form sentences anymore. and i say, without kinship, a person is simply sick and his environment. taking advantage of this can, uh, do dirty miracles. we must understand who we are dealing with and returning to the attacks of drones, returning to the lawlessness that is deployed against us and every day is really already enough somehow

in 2024 kennedy son of assassinated us, attorney general robert kennedy and nephew of jeff k says he will pub this on joining me now from cleveland, ohio is robot f kennedy's presidential campaign manager, long time ohio congressman in twice democratic presidential candidate himself dennis, cuz image, dennis considers, thank you so much for coming back on the show. last time you explained how important the free press was. are you, you would corrupt the attacked by us on the go movie media in your book of the division of lighting power. what does it mean to you and presidential candidate kennedy? that is, um, just joining 52 today in a london prison. well, what it means to mr. kennedy. it is that this is a prime example of the government trying to shut down a whistleblower who provided valuable information, not just to the american people, but the people over the world about the truth behind on the united states and other nations involvement against rac uh that portion of never gonna try and it was based on raj. joining us onshore is the one person who as a publisher, not, not only a j

host: is there consensus of how contentious this campaign is for other candidates, robert kennedy junior, cornell west, marianne williamson and what that might do as far as taking support away from him? guest: i don't think there is a huge amount of concern. a covert republicans and not democrats so i'm not the best placed to answer that. we do see contraction on some of the cases perhaps. bitcoin, the founder, those who appeal or are interested in the anti-vax position. but beyond that, i don't think they would pose a major challenge to biden. host: another republican related question. the republican party in florida asking for a loyalty pledge for those who are interested. can you explain what is being asked of these candidates and what response there is? guest: sure. it is also to ask who the republican nominee will be. that is important. this is an important step. there is been ambiguity in terms of how the candidates have responded and they have sidestepped the question. but that will be important. you can expect candidates to be asked about that. host: i suppose you ask all of this

this is not the robert kennedy we knew. ook to be the kennedy family that many democrats know. and he's more popular with republicans than he actually is with democrats. >> alice, should republicans be giving him a platform? >> look, i think if the goal was to put a spotlight on federal government censorship by democrats, rfk jr. is not the poster child for that argument. and, look, he is clearly an equal opportunity offender. his conspiracy theories and his lies are broad. not just talking about vaccines. he's talked about gender dysphoria, he's talked about the cia allegedly being involved in the assassination of his uncle and even so far as to claim the republicans stole the 2004 election with george w. bush. his conspiracy theories attack both sides. he's clearly not the person that needs to be making this case. but the fact that democrats today went to such great lengths and such vocal opposition to try to silence him and keep him out of a platform, that says more about president biden that it does about rfk jr. clearly

robert f kennedy, jr., pushed back.se questionable statements that he had made were, in effect, just censoring him. you know, this gets back to the republican feeling as though republican viewpoints, conservative viewpoints have been sentences -- sentences -- censored or suppressed. they did rule that they could not have interaction with social media companies. that particular ruling an appeals court has put on hold, but it gets back to this broader conversation that republicans are having in many ways, peter, it's a perfect example of how republicans and democrats are talking past each other. republicans believe there is a real problem with censorship and democrats believe there is a problem with giving robert f. kennedy a platform. those two things collided and probably not too many minds were changed as a result. >> the added bonus for the republicans is putting up a challenger to president biden to try to amplify that message as well. i want to ask you about this. kennedy is running on his family's name. the members

robert f. kennedy jr.ms democrat government censorship and cover-ups. >> a government that can censor its critics has license for every atrocity. it is the beginning of totalitarianism. there's never been a time in history when we look back and the guys who were censoring people were the good guys. maria: coming up, 2024 democrat presidential candidate robert f. kennedy jr. with joins me live here in studio with his plans for america. meanwhile, the big guy, joe biden, said to be in the middle of a multimillion dollar bribery scheme with ukrainian officials according to an fbi informant. and crime irs whistleblowers say the doj is covering up. stunning testimony this past week from irs agents who say that the doj stopped them from investigating joe and hunter biden a's potential crimes. coming up, house judiciary chairman jim jordan on whether he is moving to impeach a.g. merrick garland. plus, breitbart reporter emma jo morris on censoring her factual reporting on the biden laptop right before election 20
