i think ted kennedy spent those 50 years trying to be bobby. he so adored his brother, when when they were senators together, actually ted was the senior senator. he had been elected before bobby. the only time the staff never knew where they were was when they were visiting one another's offices, and ted kennedy gave bobby -- he was the older in the kennedy family -- everything mattered who was the elder, and bobby kennedy got to choose his issues. he chose vietnam as his issue and ted kennedy look to other issues. they adored one another. ted emulated bobby, and when bobby died, ted felt the pressure -- i mentioned before, when one of the sons died, the mantle fell to the next one. i think ted kennedy never wanted to be president. i don't think he wanted to be president, but it was something he had grown up thinking it was his responsibility. the party kept turning to him, and i think he was happiest as a u.s. senator when he unsuccessfully challenged jimmy carter and could go back to being a u.s. senator. here was a question? >> my understand

speaking at his younger brother's funeral, our former colleague senator ted kennedy said that robert kennedy "need ine idol o beyond what he was life." he saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. toas inspired by his efforts write wrong and heal suffering and stop war. inspired enoughhat wh i became a u.s. senator and was assigned in office, they happened to be the former office kennedy, i proudly pointed that out to visitors. here in my office once sat the great robert kennedy who did see wrong and trd to right itnd and try to stop it. in may 1968, i was in sixth grade. i was an 11-year-old out in oregon, and bobby kennedy, as we affectionately referred to him, was campaigning in my state area -- state. he was going quickly from community to committee, delivering speeches anonhi school after another. my grade school sixth-grade teacher announced he was going to give a speech at a high school, my high school. i was only in sixth grade, i never said foot in the halls of that high school. was going to give a speech the next night, and i talked to my father, my f

speaking at his younger brother's funeral, our former colleague senator ted kennedy said that robert kennedy, quote, need not be idolized ornlarge in death beyond what he was in life, that he can be remembered simply as a goo and dent man ,aw suffeng tried to right heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. i was inspid hffts to right wrong and heal suffering and stop war. inspired enough that when i beor and was assigned an office, that happened to be the former office of rert f. kennedy in the russell building, i proudly pointed that out to visitors, that here in my office once sat the great robert kennedy, who did in fact see wrong and try to right it and suffering and heal it and war and stop it. in may 1968, i was in 6th grade. i was an 11-year-old, out in oregon, and bobby kennedy as we affectionately referred to him was camign my state. he was going very quickly from community to community, delivering speeches and n one high school -- in one high school after another. and my grade school 6th grade teacher announced that he was going to give a speech at my high school, except i was

i got the interview ted kennedy won and i did it so there were so many moments that i was passing --passing is seductive. it is easier to lay low, do your thing, not rock the boat. i did that for 12 years. so i think for me it was either someone was going to out me or i was going to out myself so i chose the latter. >> host: dear america is the name of the book. notes of an undocumented citizen. it is available in september. you

i'm here to talk about the challenge from the left like ted kennedy.ly be facing a challenge from the moderate wing of the party if senator corker were to take him on. the ohio governor k. sake could do so as an independent candidate and normally, such challenges hurt the party in power, in this case the white house. i am wondering whether, when you look back at the carter years it was that he lost and that this president could be a danger in the same way. >> i doubt this president will face a challenge, but i will describe it in my book, any president who faces an internal challenge to his nomination as, for example, ford did is going to be weekend. we had a continued fight with ted kennedy in the liberal wing of the party. the president was a moderate. he was a centrist. in the end, he was too liberal for the hard-core conservatives. too conservative for liberals and he fell right in between. ted kennedy won an all encompassing health insurance program at a time of high inflation, high budget deficits. we said let's do it incrementally and that was h

they will do and say anything just like ted kennedy to block donald trump's pick.en a day out from justice kennedy's announcement and the left is already in total free freak out and scare the american people mode and lying mode. watch this. >> are you ready to rip up the rules that limited democrats? >> yes, nicole. i know we are ready. >> for the fabric of our democracy, democrats should block this nomination and any nomination. >> follow the rule they set in 2016. not to consider a supreme court justice in an election year. >> it's time for democrats to throw down. what i mean by that, we have been playing by the rule book. donald trump and republicans have been pleaing by street rules. we need to play by street rules. >> don't a lou a hearing. >> sean: at this massive rally in north dakota, the president previewed this looming battle and so much more. let's look at what he said. >> a very special guy also just announced a little while ago his retirement from the u.s. supreme court. >> [cheers and applause]. >> a great man. i am very honored that he chose to do i

came through, an authenticity that came through, integrity that came through. >> in 1965, he joins ted kennedyte. >> that kind of brotherhood and bond really, i think, just helped both of them survive a very difficult time. >> as a legislator, kennedy can now further his agenda to aid the country's overlooked. >> the situations are worse now in the ghettoes than they were three, four, five years ago. i don't think that's satisfactory, particularly when we made promises to the poor and deprived. >> one thing a senator can do is have hearings. they can have them outside of washington. so bobby goes to mississippi to investigate poverty. >> there were children who were severely malnourished to the point that they had disease you don't find in the united states. we saw children who had swollen bellies, who had sores on their arms and legs that would not heal. it was just stunning. he said to me, i have never seen anything like this. then he went home. he said to his kids -- he banged on the table and he said to them, you have to do something about this. >> robert kennedy has become an activist sen

it sounds like ted kennedy's speech.f this is the play they are going to run, i agree they're going to have a hard time. this list of potential nominees have excellent credentials, and if they're going to really try to run that play, it's going to fail. >> laura: would this be a list jeb bush or marco rubio, all these guys would've been candidates for them too. >> that could very well be. i think the big question on abortion is a look at the pro-life sentiment in the country. 1988, around the webster time and today, this country is more pro-life. if they want to pick the pro-life fight, we are going to win it. >> laura: how about the fact that it's not in the constitution? i could spend the whole hour with you. fantastic panel. up next, raymond arroyo. >> laura: it's time for our "seen and unseen" segment. we expose what's behind the big cultural stories of the day. the late-night talk show hosts have banned together to roast president trump. for more on what they are doing, we are joined by raymond arroyo. i sought trip

the anthony kennedy era began with partisan hysteria because ted kennedy went to the floor of the senates and back alley aborters. if you ask republicans where the hyperpartisan area began, they say kennedy. others say newt gingrich. it's ending with the same kind of partisan vote. >> by the way, i still remember where i was when i heard ted kennedy's speech. >> yeah. >> it was an offensive speech. it was so over the top. it was so hateful. and it did, it elevated supreme court picks on to a level they have never been elevated to before and democrats followed up then going after clarence thomas and then we were off to the races. >>> still ahead on "morning joe," more on the kennedy decision and swing voters have to make up their mind. plus, the second rating democrat dick durbin is going to be with us and his wait to confirm kennedy's successor. first, here is bill karins with a check on the forecast. >> a huge heat wave is going to grip the country. rain that will cause travel delays. it's pouring in connecticut and massachusetts. new york city, in the last bit of rain, then you are don

it sounds like ted kennedy speech. if this is the play they are going to run, i agree they're going to have a hard time. this list of potential nominees have excellent credentials, and if they're going to really try to run that play, it's going to fail. >> laura: would this be a list jeb bush or marco rubio, all these guys would've been candidates for them too. >> that could very well be. i think the big question on abortion is a look at the pro-life sentiment in the country. 1988 around the webster time and today, this country is more pro-life. if they want to pick the pro-life fight, we are going to win it. >> laura: how about the fact that it's not in the constitution? i could spend the whole hour with you. up next, raymond arroyo. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. she told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved t

they'll do and say anything, just like ted kennedy to block donald trump's pick.e not even a day out from justice kennedy's announcement and the left is already in full on, total freak out panic, scare the american people mode, and full online load. watch this. >> are you guys ready to maybe rip up some of the rules that have limited democrats? >> yes. i know we are ready. >> for the fabric of our democracy, democrats should dig and hard here and do everything they can feasibly do to block this nomination, any nomination, from going forward. >> republican colleagues in the senate should follow the rule base edited in 2016. not to consider a supreme court justice in an election year. >> it's time for democrats to throw down. what i mean by that is that we have been playing by the rulebook and donald trump and republicans have been playing by street rules. we need to play by street rules. >> don't allow a vote on this, don't have a hearing, really, don't let anything go forward. don't play ball with his decision. >> sean: merely a preview of coming attractions. at t

, and what names would you recommend, ted kennedy? and he actually gave me some names. and i brought them to the president. and one of those names was actually considered in the process. so i suspect that the process can be open. it should reflect the priorities that the president has and the expectations of his partisanship and his philosophy. but the process will produce someone who i think will recognize they will serve not in a political capacity. they will serve to meet the letter of the law as they understand it. that's the way it should be. i respect the process. i want this process to work. i hope the president nominates someone soon. i don't think that he should succumb to the trap of not having been ready. he is ready. anthony kennedy is a remarkable leader and someone i have the greatest respect for. but we are also not surprised that he is leaving the court. so i suspect the white house has been working for a long time to be ready for this day. and the truth is they would be working to be ready for this day even if anthony

speaking at his younger brother's funeral, our former colleague senator ted kennedy said that robert kennedy, quote, need not be idolized ornlarge in death beyond what he was in life, that he can be remembered simply as a goo and

said we will not endorse anybody until nomination night people suspected that was that tragedy of ted kennedy but i think the evidence actually shows lbj would put the kebabs on that. that is why he didn't want the delegation to go. >> and the first case of fake news like the tet offensive was announcing a military victory and then it with that election that one reason it wasn't the people in the riots in the streets and with the radicals. >> america was so divided i guess that's true with the red state blue state phenomenon but what we and do her as a nation pales in comparison when shot in 196-8100 major cities were aflame in the riots campus riots on the university colleges all across the country were breaking out people were injured and losing their lives. by the end of 68 we really were as a nation looking like the possibility of civil war or a revolution talked about openly. i'm not sure if that really answers the question but, i served in congress i have no statements. [laughter] >> i look forward to reading your book but writing fiction compared to your nonfiction which is easier is t

. >> as recently as 2013 the democratic party was glorifying ted kennedy as a women's rights championg the fact that he left a woman to suffocate in her car. the clintons have had this come to jesus movemt. somehow the dam broke and they came to that conclusion. feminists ruined her life as well and enabled men like him to continue this behavior against young women so long as they are pushing the right progressive policies. they have been doing it up until the last year. kennedy: i think what we are seeing is a generational shift. there are young feminists who are disgusted by what they have done. i think that's why a lot of younger democrats gravitated toward bernie sanders. >> hillary clinton was the democratic version. you are a leftist jab tie corporation you will go tore someone like bernie sanders. kennedy: i know bill clinton tries to differentiate himself from president trump. but the similarities in their personalits and the things they do and say because they all feel like they are transformational figures. >> what's so weird to what you said about the young women and young

working as an organizer for bernie sanders' 2016 presidential bid and worked for the late senator ted kennedy. the video of the night, she appeared surprised herself as the numbers came in. when she saw her lead over the incumbent representative joe crowley. more than 57% to the voters chose her over the opponent two picked up a little over 42% of the vote. crowley has been in congress since 1999. though a democrat had in the past been associated with the groups aligned with president trump and republicans, the 28-year-old has been taking a victory lap today making appearances vowing to bring in urgency to the fight for working families and also talking about the immigration issue. calling for the end of u.s. immigration and customs enforcement or i.c.e. listen. >> we are committing human rights abuses on this border and separating children from their families. that, you know, is part of the structure of the agency. we can replace it. we can replace it with a humane agency directed to safe passage. >> today, democratic house leader nancy pelosi had this reaction to her win. >> are we excited

he lost to ted kennedy in 1994. there were a bunch of stories in new york.ber one, on the democratic side there's four long serving democratic incumbent members of congress and representing the democratic party. and it will be a big upset but we want to see how much energy is there? there's been some signs here that there may be a little something to worry about and we'll keep an eye on that but the big one you say in new york we want to see is in the staten island part. the one little red dot in new york it's d donovan against you remember this guy, michael grimm. he got reelected under indictment in 2014. ended up going to jail and leaving his seat. he's coming back and challenging in the republican primary the guy that won the seat when he went to jail. it's grimm and donovan. the president is lined up with donovan in this base and said don't nominate michael grimm because if you do this is the kind of democraistrict the demo could pick up. grimm has tried to position himself as the most pro trump candidate. >> you cannot make this stuff up. we'll see you

ted kennedy in '94 beat him. tonight he beats mike kennedy. he's batting .500 against the kennedys. >> that was a deep grab. thank you for that. steve, before we leave this new york story, which just continues to amaze, let's talk about joe crowley. coming up on 20 years in congress. he's number four in the democratic leadership in the house under pelosi. like to be speaker someday. one of his jobs in the house is coming up with the messaging for the democratic caucus. so much for that. he's defeated by a 28-year-old. she's never run for anything before. he was outspent -- he outspent her, what, 10 to 1, 18 to 1. >> here's the fascinating thing. joe crowley had two political realities in this life. one is you've got to win this seat every two years back in your district. the other is he was trying to be the top democrat in d.c. for years his biggest obstacle he thought in politics, nothing in his home district, but was nancy pelosi. he tried in 2006. he tried in 2008. he tried in 2010 to move into the democratic leadership in d.c. he was block

she also worked for the late senator ted kennedy. surrounded by the supporters in the video of the night. she appeared surprised hself as the numbers came the and she saw her lead over the income bent representative crowley -- incumbent representative joe crowley. 57% supported her. crowley has been in congress since 1999, and though a democrat had been associated with groups aligned with president trump and republicans, the 28-year-old has been taking a victory lap today, vowing to bring urgency to the fight for working families and also talking about the immigration issue calling for the end of the u.s. immigration and customs enforce. or i.c.e. and adding this a proud moment for her and all women. >> i think it says right now that women are at a time where eyre feeling emboldened. and that wew thattice and we know that representation is not going to be handed to us. we have to fight for it. we have to earn it. >> today, democratic house minority leader nancy pelosi had this reaction to her win. >> are we excited about another gene

bronx and queens, ocasio-cortez studied at boston university and at one time worked if for senator ted kennedy massachusetts, but it was here in the district where she really found her voice. >> women like me aren't supposed to run for office. >> she worked as an organizer for former democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders following the election of donald trump, the self-described democratic socialist said it was time for her to do more. >> this race is about people versus money. we've got people they've got money. >> she led a progressive campaign which called for medicare for all. tuition free college and abolishing i.c.e. immigration and customs enforcement and while she was gaining traction on the ground, crowley was still outspending her by a margin of 10-1. >> i'm proud to be the only democrat in this race ha rejects all corporate money. >> she could soon be making political history if she wins in november. the 28-year-old would likely be the youngest person in congress come 2019. >> alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> crowley, wiring her well and dedicating a song to her on election n

this role, builds on her extensive congressional experience, defense policy adviser to senator ted kennedy and she served in the house permanent select committee on intelligence and the house armed services committee. lee, let me start out with you, just assessing where we are now, where we have been. what are we even divided on within the party, and more importantly, what have we taken for granted before now that have led to these divisions? >> well, this is an important conversation to have, and it's not necessarily an easy one, but i think we can start with some of the big picture. after world war ii, there was a broad consensus that emerged really regarding america's leadership role in the world. and i think we all know this because some of the structural fundamentals are core to truman's value side. those included the commitment to a strong national defense, that is imperative for our security, but not only that, a principle of diplomacy, smart and strategic investments, and really advancing democracy abroad and living those values here at home, striving, ever really to become that mo

the first was an amendment by senators feinstein and ted kennedy that proposed to strike the repeal and it lost. i then offered the next amendment which allowed research and development to occur, but prohibited the final development and production of a low-yield nuclear he -- nuclear weapon. john warner then accepted a second degree to my amendment which allowed research and development to occur but required specific authorization for final development and producing, -- production and that is the law today. senator warner was very clear about the necessary role of congress. on the floor john warner stated, in the second-degree amendment it is clear that the congress is fully in charge working with the executive branch, the congress, and only the congress, can authorize and appropriate the funds necessary to go one step beyond what the earlier reed amendment has provided. well, now while my amendment failed, the second-degree amendment passed offered by senator john warner passed 96-0. indeed, there are members here today, colleagues in the chamber, who were there at the time and who vot

senator john mccain has this type of cancer, and so did senator ted kennedy.udy, 21% were still alive at the three-year mark. now, that's compared with just 4% of patients who received standard cancer treatment. >> "60 minutes" has been reporting on this trial at duke university. four years ago, debbie was told she had at most two years to live. then she got the polio treatment in this trial, and everything changed. >> i mean, there were days that weren't as great as others, but i didn't even get depressed. you now know, i just kind of ke pushing on, pushing on, pushing on. i thought, geez, maybe i'm cured. >> our doctor leads the west side cancer center at the university of southern california. david, good morning. it's remarkable to hear these figures. so tell everyone how this treatment works. >> good morning, norah. yeah, it's certainly very exciting. millions of people around the globe are affected by viruses from hiv to hepatitis to ebola. and the knowledge of viruses has translated to a big advance here. a catheter is placed into the brain. this is afte

. >> reporter: days later, his brother, senator ted kennedy, remembered him. >> my brother need not be ong and tried to right it. saw suffering and tried to heal it. saw a war and tried to stop it. >> chris matthews is the host of "hardball" on msnbc. he is also the author of "bobby kennedy: a raging spirit." robert f. kennedy is a towering figure in american history. mro brother of jfk, the u.s. senate. >> he is the un-trump. he's a uniter not a divider. what other caucasian could have walked into indianapolis and told them that the hero of all-time had been shot by a white guy. he had a connection. he cared about individual people regardless of background. he could talk to working class people and could do both with the same kind of affection. i think he was a democrat with a lower case "d." he liked people and cared about them. >> you maintain that had he lived, it would be very different. >> chicago was hell. we're still living chicago. there's a scene, i love this setup. it's beautifully done. he said, let's go on to chicago and win there. if he had come into that convention, that

the way he was bourqued with ted kennedy's speech on the senate floor which i will say even today was conservatives looked at the moment that sandra day o'connor didn't always vote the way we thought she was going to vote, kennedy didn't vote the way he was supposed to vote and souter, souter, good lord. so conservatives have not gotten the court right in all these years. they're ready to get their fifth solid solid vote. >> exactly. that's why they had donald trump sign a list. remember, this was unprecedented. never had a presidential candidate said, here, i'm going to give dwryou the names of the people i will appoint to court so you will not get suitered. they carry the scars, republicans do of previous confirmation fights because they have been so betrayed in the past. don't forget about harriet myers because the right felt she wasn't conservative enough. they have gotten it wrong. you are right. it's amazing to think, ronald reagan, the conservative lion of the last generation appointed sandra day o'connor and anthony kennedy, two really, like the betten wars for conservatives i

. >> kennedy: that's what the ted cruz legislation would do. >> judge: ted cruz proposal is so good. it would force the judges to rule within 72 hours. i can't imagine there would be harm to these kids within 72 hours. keep the families together in the 72 hours. and allow some discretion for situations that require compassion. if the child is a pawn, if the child is not the love spring of the people claiming to be the parent, then the child is a kidnap victim being used by the parents to get into the united states. that's what a judge has to ascertain. not three months later but within 72 hours. >> unintended consequences from those one size fits all policies are much more dire than the problems they are trying to address in the first place. you are right here. that's something that, you know, in this emotionalism we lose sight of. we all have the greatest responsibility. our greatest responsibility is to our children. and, you know, a lot of these people weigh -- you know, they do a cost benefit analysis is where they are worth then what could possibly happen to them on the journey

kennedy: you have a bill spear head by ted cz at this point and he's working with fellow republicans and democrats. does that have any chance of pass imagine the house? >> i'm co-sponsor of the house version of the bill. that's the david brat bill. and that's one portion of this entire large omnibus bill. it deals with border security and the daca suit kids. it deals with agricultural workers. visa lottery system. you name it. all those things are in there. kennedy: this will be a big black eye for republicans if they try and try and fail and fail. it's bad news. it's bad optics for your caucus and your party before the mid-terms. why don't you try and take more narrow elements that have to get done and where you can find some bipartisan support and do those. >> i think that's what's trying to be done. kennedy: it's difficult to have a more narrow version when you are trying to do everything. >> the reason omnibus bills exist, they are used for leverage. they are getting somebody to vote for something they don't love. kennedy: what a horrible way to govern. >> i would love to see us
