So true, did you hear the rfk speech when he announced martin luther kings death, good as it was not prewritten or rehearsed. It was real, from the heart. Good guy.
I'm not a Kennedy fan but he was a more worthy occupant of the Senate certainly than Cortez. Cortez has zero record of acvomplishment and espouses failed leftist policies/ideology (even absurd ideas). In sum, another clownish representative of the modern Democratic party.
Audrey Muzingo AOC never accomplished anything in her life. She’s also been evicted twice, has a credit score in the 400s, got fired in a fast food restaurant and violated campaign finance laws. She’s also not very intelligent.
Wow!- All these years later, and he is saying more to address our country’s problems of today than any of our current politicians. His courage, respect, integrity, intelligence, and moral assessments put our current state of politics to shame!!
Trump was bad. Obama was bad. Bush Jr was crooked and stupid. We now see some bright and courageous men running for office. Its now up to the American people to nominate one of them or rebel because the Democratic party has proven itself extremely undemocratic!
You can always tell what peoples values and priorities are by what they SAY and DO. What they TALK about most of the day and promote is who they ARE. Even at home. Like the play "Death of a Salesman" by Harold Pinter.
"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and injustice." ROBERT F. KENNEDY University of Cape Town June, 1966
@@tabo01 LBJ was an effing psycho. An undiagnosed manic depressive. Had a hand in murdering his brother. And 11 kids to raise. Yet still he threw his candidacy in the ring, knowing the danger that lurked everywhere he went.
Oh God. The death of this man was one of the greatest injustices of the 20th century. Just as smart as his brother, he had deeper convictions. The same hands killed them both because they were too good to be political leaders. I weep
When he and John professed to go after organized crime was the beginning of the end. Organized crime showed them both who not to mess with. Today, America is ran by organized crime and ptofessional criminals.
Late to the party here, but what a brilliant man. I remember being shocked and dismayed when I learned he had once sat at the same table as Sen. McCarthy during his infamous hearings, before learning how quickly he had become disillusioned with the process. I later saw an interview where he openly admitted his employment under Sen. McCarthy was a mistake, and then only admired him more for his candidness. President Kennedy may have been more gregarious, charismatic and glamorous than Bobby, but there's no question in my mind that Bobby would have been the one who affected greater change on both American society and the world at large. The good Senator spoke with a clarity and conviction that we sorely need today, and his time serving as AG prior to the assassination of President Kennedy (and his subsequent neutering under President Johnson) only proves he was not afraid to take on the big dogs to do the right thing, no matter the cost.
Not too many people three generations later are willing to acknowledge the similarities between the America RFK wanted and the America Ronald Reagan wanted. They once shared the same side of the aisle. Elsewhere on UA-cam is a debate among Reagan, RFK and international journalists that illustrate the commonality of positions Reagan and RFK shared on the issues of the day, and it was only a question of approach. 1968 was too soon for Reagan to run for President and win, but it was not too late for RFK; and had he not been gunned down at the Ambassador in L.A. I think he would've walked away with the Dem nomination and beaten Nixon. Leaving Humphrey as the only viable candidate left after RFK was assassinated and LBJ walked away pretty much handed Nixon the Presidency -- and while Nixon's foreign policy bona fides were helpful his efforts on the domestic front were abysmal; and of course corrupt. And the GOP at that time was ill-equipped for a Reagan Revolution in dealing with Vietnam and macro-economics; deep divisions within the party between Rockefeller Republicans and conservatives -- same issue Dems had in 1968. RFK could have bridged the gap and captured the support of voters between the two extremist bookends and unified the country. Of that I am certain. But we'll never know.
I disagree. He is a product of wealth and privilege, gained through efforts of organized crime indirectly, but for certain either way. Humility boils down to education and experience, being able to relate. I honestly thought his values were sufficient but only in regards to conscious. He never truly experienced the blight of poverty and inability to attend colleges, at any point of the struggle. His religion built a conscious big enough, which supported the drive for knowledge, in turn, allowed him to interpret the constitution on a morale level. The flaw however, his brother and him were very self serving. Notoriety, wealth, and appearance, was the driving force for power for money was and never would be an issue. They clearly were groomed, and groomed by a family built on criminal enterprise, that's why he fought so hard against them, to save face. No, he wasn't experienced enough for the presidency at that time. His life needed more time to understand the issues he spoke about because he could only learn them and could and never lived them. 60 to 65 year old RFK would have done the trick. To think then, and especially now, that any person could serve the country better than LBJ, is insanity. LBJ done more for humanity within the guidelines of American philosophy and values, than any other President in the history of the World. 1 LBJ 2Reagon3Trump. All had the most important qualities of any leader, strength, determination, resolve, follow through, foreign policy, and america first, the ladder gushing confidence into the American working man and the American dream for the pursuit of happiness.
You can tell how passionate Robert was about the issue of the war, and I think he would have been a great President at some point had he lived. He had tremendous character and was incredibly smart.

Smoke and mirrors now and then. This Kennedy interview was staged to support division in the minds of America. Ever heard of if you can’t dazzle with brilliance then baffle with B.S.? Truth is not a smile in a nice suit! That’s Hollywood slight of hand! Beware then and now!!!🙏🔑🤙
Him, his brother, and MLK are all in the same boat. All 3 of them were set on making this world a better place. And they did to some extent and they would’ve done more had their lives not been cut short. 🙏🏽
His phlosophy of US intervention in Vietnam War is why we admired Bobby in the mid to late 60's. It's applicable to the wars we are supporting today in the Middle East. He learned much about Racism and his personal views on racism during his last years too. He was a humanitarian in heart. A good man, as was his brothers. I miss Ted in Senate as well.
I've just laid my eyes on this guy and after some minutes I can see why he was rooted out. He was true and wanted to impact change. People like him pay the highest price. Always.
I had never heard of him before a Netflix documentary I saw. And I thought the same thing. This man was non corruptible and for that reason they took him out.
"Rooted out"? He wasn't assassinated by the government or anything. He was assassinated due to his support for Israel by a supporter of Palestinian nationalism.
Very acute, Nick. So many proclaim blind patriotism-love of country period.The concept here is a higher, worthier, more sophisticated,more intelligent and more ambitious option.
Losing his brother took alot of life out of Bobby. He had to be in shock for awhile. Then he starts to regain his spirit, and he's taken out. There's some evil in the human race and I hope hope there's justice in the heavens. The killers got to live a natural life and even got testimonials at their funerals. There's some evil in the world.
There is such a deep and profound sadness in his face. The Kennedy family -- just like the Sullivan family in WWII -- gave up far too much in service of this country. We owe them a debt of gratitude forever.
I believe that this idealistic and sincere man, would have done his very best to make America the truly great country. That it proclaims itself to be on that long piece of parchment that states all men are created equal.
Bobby Kennedy had a reputation for being "ruthless" when he served as Attorney General during his brother's administration. To some extent that description came from his demeanor in those days. He was serious and hard-edged, rarely seen smiling. But after JFK was assassinated and grief took hold of Bobby, he mellowed and his temperament became a credit to his wisdom. He became the man you see in this video, fully in charge yet compassionate in equal measure.
@@michaelsiemering513 I am sorry to hear that your wife passed away. Blessings to you and your family at this most difficult time. Thank you for replying to me.
An aide to RFK once remarked, “It’s not that Bobby was ruthless. It’s that he was incapable of not telling the truth, and sometimes the truth is ruthless.”
He spoke with passion and conviction completly missing today. I liked his hand gestures as well, where he beat his chest with his fist to emphisise his words, as if they came from the heart.
Yes, by beating his chest, he was counting himself among the people who were responsible for the deaths of children and the mutilation of civilians of a country 12,000 miles away in a war that couldn’t be won.
So much I could say but it's all reflective. Hind sight is 20/20. I pray we learned some great lessons. He had alot to show and tell. And yes..... He truly was his Brother's keeper. Ps. His wife , Ethel was a great wife to him and mother to their children.
When he was running for the U.S. Senate from New York, which he won, he visited my hometown, addressed a crowd in the Public Square and rode an open convertible to the local newspaper for an interview. As he was shaking hands from the car, I was able only to touch his hand. Years later, I met his daughter, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, lieutenant governor of Maryland.
I met Robert Kennedy in early 1966 at a college newspaper conference held at Columbia University. He was the guest speaker at the banquet held on the last night of the conference. He had been serving in the Senate for about a year at that time. My group arrived late to the banquet because of a subway problem, so we had to wait in a small library until there was a break in the program. Remarkably, this was also the place where Senator Kennedy was waiting until time for his speech. So my group of ten young women from a college in Virginia got to meet him and chat for a brief time. He was a lovely person, very courteous yet a bit shy which really surprised me. He never acted like our presence was an intrusion, and he welcomed our conversation. It has touched me to see this video because that same reserved, refined quality I remember about him comes through so clearly here. What a moment that was.
@@vivianpowell1732 Dear Vivian, thank you for sharing your story, it's very meaningful to me, and to all of us who didn't get the chance to know about Senator Kennedy further. I only knew him from the Netflix series, 'Bobby Kennedy for President', but it is great to hear from someone who had met him in person. Thank you, for giving me the chance to picture him in a more realistic way. 🙏🏻♥️
You do realize that Bobby worked for Joe McCarthy as a lad? He was also a ruthless man...you simply don't know all that went on in that day. I do admire him in some ways but he has feet of clay.
Except Ted. Wherever he is, they can keep him. And Joe too. I just want Bobby back, maybe Jack but I could live without him. Jack was a little overrated; I think he could've done better had he stayed in the senate.
He taught me two quotes from Aeschylus: "He who learns must suffer" and "Injustice is the nature of things". Powerful things to contemplate in life. RIP Bobby, thank you for saving our lives during the Cuban Missile Crisis, if you had got it wrong we wouldn't be here.
That was President John F Kennedy that saved the world from nuclear war during Cuban Missile Crisis! Bobby was Atty Gen and The President’s brother and close advisor so he assisted President Kennedy but, it was JFK

Senator Robert Kennedy was a great statesman who really had an impressive ability to keep focusing on what is best for this country. May we all always honor him!
I was a little girl in elementary school the day he was shot. I remember waking up late that morning and asking my mom, why didn't you wake me up for school? and she said solemnly "there's no school today, another Kennedy has been shot and killed." I had been five years old when John was killed and remember asking my grandma if I could turn on cartoons, the day of his funeral. "No one is showing cartoons today, the President is being buried." And she went back to her knitting while the funeral played on our old black and white TV.
“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.”
We need a president who's been to that place (like RFK),who has demonstrable empathy for the poor and suffering (unlike the Trumptorious E.G.O.)/BERNIE 2020 !
How far we’ve fallen. Just look at that monstrosity in the White House today. Watching this you can see how torn he was. He wanted to run then and there, but feared that it would only be looked at as a personal battle between him and Johnson.
Yes we do have a monster in the white house,who puts a shame of all the men that came before him,and is sick in the head, and has brought out the worst of this country and is right out racist.
Im sure jfk and bobby would have love trump. Hope you know that the kennedys back in the days were sort of the black sheep. His whole family did not come from politics they build themselves there specially his father
The questions were horrible. Senator Kennedy kept saying he wanted to talk about the issues and at least halfway through the show every question was about the politics of the presidential campaign. I am going to see if I can listen to the second half ... Senator Kennedy was given a chance to discuss his views on the war during the second half of the show, but since half the show was wasted on questions involving presidential politics, the show ended just as the discussion started getting interesting. And although I am a Republican, I can see that Senator Kennedy was likely a very sincere, thoughtful and honorable man who tried to place principles above politics.
Politicians from both sides could learn something from watching RFK. And the media could also see what true news men used to be like. Class and integrity are long lost arts I'm afraid.
Absolutely agree -true politician and true journalists - today’s politicians and journalists should watch this and learn. Robert Kennedy was a class act in every sense.
I lived through this period and am still affected when seeing RFK being interviewed. The similarities between then, 1968, and today are striking. Today, we once again have an RFK challenging an incumbent president at a Democratic convention that will take place in Chicago. Today, Ukraine has replaced Vietnam as a questionable war that we are involved in.
What a loss, for humanity. This guy was different class, a huge intellect. He always saw the world as the objective form and not just the insularity of home politics. He had the heart to say that black lives mattered in 67'. that the lives of women and children mattered in war torn vietnam, that the lives of american solidiers were put in such a position that it didn't warrant respect in their own country, that the mafia and drugs were a greater enemy to America than any cold war. The world lost a great human being in 69', America lost a future great president.
Of all the assasinations there is no doubt in my mind,and I lived through this period as an adult,that the death of Bobby Kennedy was the worst thing that happened to this country.
I was 16. I believe you're right. JFK'S assassination was an unimaginable shock. RFK's created an unspoken sense of futility in many millions of Americans.
It’s no coincidence both his brother and he were removed....God very explicitly doesn’t want us in a garden of eden, so removed Jack so Vietnam would happen, removed Bobby so it would extend another 4-5 years and Watergate falls in there as well. All these evil and ultimately detrimental events took us from being a united healthy country into a state of near degradation today...throw in 9/11 and Covid to help facilitate the downfall..God knows just what he is doing and there is no getting around god’s will. Mark David Chapman another pawn who was just doing god’s will
Such a fine human being,he was extremely knowledgeable younger brother supporting older brother. Rest in peace ( he would have been a really good president!!’
Like Trump does. What a shame. The Americans of that era would have seen right through him. They would have been repelled by his attitude and his behavior!
Teddy really nailed it when he said "simply be remembered as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it".
we have very few of them
Amen.
Today's politician sees wrong and finds a way to profit from it. If they see suffering they look for a way to benefit from it. If they see a war they look for a way to drag it on for fear votes.

So true, did you hear the rfk speech when he announced martin luther kings death, good as it was not prewritten or rehearsed. It was real, from the heart.
Good guy.
AOC often reminds me of him, which also scares me.
I'm not a Kennedy fan but he was a more worthy occupant of the Senate certainly than Cortez. Cortez has zero record of acvomplishment and espouses failed leftist policies/ideology (even absurd ideas). In sum, another clownish representative of the modern Democratic party.
@@broughmar Well, um, then it's your lucky day because she is not an "occupant" of the Senate. She has nothing to do with the Senate.
Audrey Muzingo AOC never accomplished anything in her life. She’s also been evicted twice, has a credit score in the 400s, got fired in a fast food restaurant and violated campaign finance laws. She’s also not very intelligent.
Clear, concise, and specific responses. How refreshing.
Wow!- All these years later, and he is saying more to address our country’s problems of today than any of our current politicians. His courage, respect, integrity, intelligence, and moral assessments put our current state of politics to shame!!
Trump was bad. Obama was bad. Bush Jr was crooked and stupid. We now see some bright and courageous men running for office. Its now up to the American people to nominate one of them or rebel because the Democratic party has proven itself extremely undemocratic!
You can always tell what peoples values and priorities are by what they SAY and DO. What they TALK about most of the day and promote is who they ARE.
Even at home. Like the play "Death of a Salesman" by Harold Pinter.
👍👍👍👍👍
Such civility is very refreshing.
"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and injustice." ROBERT F. KENNEDY University of Cape Town June, 1966
Great speech
He lacked the balls to go against Johnson, and only did so after McCarthy did.
That's beautiful. And so true. Hope is a powerful threatening force. That's why tyrannical forces seek to destroy it.
👍👍👍👍👍
@@tabo01 LBJ was an effing psycho. An undiagnosed manic depressive. Had a hand in murdering his brother. And 11 kids to raise. Yet still he threw his candidacy in the ring, knowing the danger that lurked everywhere he went.
Thank you for making this available - it brings home how impressive he was and why he is still missed now.
Oh God. The death of this man was one of the greatest injustices of the 20th century. Just as smart as his brother, he had deeper convictions. The same hands killed them both because they were too good to be political leaders. I weep
I agree. What do you mean by the same hands killed them both tho?
@@LuzMaria95 LBJ may have had influence in killing both of them. Wanting the Presidency.
@@earthball2024 thanks for explaining. I’ve been looking into it and now I understand it and I agree. I think he did too.
When he and John professed to go after organized crime was the beginning of the end. Organized crime showed them both who not to mess with.
Today, America is ran by organized crime and ptofessional criminals.
Two wackos with guns killed them.
Late to the party here, but what a brilliant man.
I remember being shocked and dismayed when I learned he had once sat at the same table as Sen. McCarthy during his infamous hearings, before learning how quickly he had become disillusioned with the process. I later saw an interview where he openly admitted his employment under Sen. McCarthy was a mistake, and then only admired him more for his candidness.
President Kennedy may have been more gregarious, charismatic and glamorous than Bobby, but there's no question in my mind that Bobby would have been the one who affected greater change on both American society and the world at large. The good Senator spoke with a clarity and conviction that we sorely need today, and his time serving as AG prior to the assassination of President Kennedy (and his subsequent neutering under President Johnson) only proves he was not afraid to take on the big dogs to do the right thing, no matter the cost.
McCarthy was the godfather of one of his children.
The only reason he left him, was his not getting along with Roy Cohn.
President Kennedy was great and Bobby was very good too. Just!! Jack was assassinated only a thousand days into his presidency. Ughhh
His composer and general demeanor is the definition of class .
Composure.
Not too many people three generations later are willing to acknowledge the similarities between the America RFK wanted and the America Ronald Reagan wanted. They once shared the same side of the aisle. Elsewhere on UA-cam is a debate among Reagan, RFK and international journalists that illustrate the commonality of positions Reagan and RFK shared on the issues of the day, and it was only a question of approach. 1968 was too soon for Reagan to run for President and win, but it was not too late for RFK; and had he not been gunned down at the Ambassador in L.A. I think he would've walked away with the Dem nomination and beaten Nixon. Leaving Humphrey as the only viable candidate left after RFK was assassinated and LBJ walked away pretty much handed Nixon the Presidency -- and while Nixon's foreign policy bona fides were helpful his efforts on the domestic front were abysmal; and of course corrupt. And the GOP at that time was ill-equipped for a Reagan Revolution in dealing with Vietnam and macro-economics; deep divisions within the party between Rockefeller Republicans and conservatives -- same issue Dems had in 1968. RFK could have bridged the gap and captured the support of voters between the two extremist bookends and unified the country. Of that I am certain. But we'll never know.
Are vyou implying that he is even more articulate than Biden??
I disagree. He is a product of wealth and privilege, gained through efforts of organized crime indirectly, but for certain either way. Humility boils down to education and experience, being able to relate. I honestly thought his values were sufficient but only in regards to conscious. He never truly experienced the blight of poverty and inability to attend colleges, at any point of the struggle. His religion built a conscious big enough, which supported the drive for knowledge, in turn, allowed him to interpret the constitution on a morale level. The flaw however, his brother and him were very self serving. Notoriety, wealth, and appearance, was the driving force for power for money was and never would be an issue. They clearly were groomed, and groomed by a family built on criminal enterprise, that's why he fought so hard against them, to save face. No, he wasn't experienced enough for the presidency at that time. His life needed more time to understand the issues he spoke about because he could only learn them and could and never lived them. 60 to 65 year old RFK would have done the trick. To think then, and especially now, that any person could serve the country better than LBJ, is insanity. LBJ done more for humanity within the guidelines of American philosophy and values, than any other President in the history of the World. 1 LBJ 2Reagon3Trump. All had the most important qualities of any leader, strength, determination, resolve, follow through, foreign policy, and america first, the ladder gushing confidence into the American working man and the American dream for the pursuit of happiness.
@@jeremywall7206 I wouldn’t give his Catholicism so much credit.
You can tell how passionate Robert was about the issue of the war, and I think he would have been a great President at some point had he lived. He had tremendous character and was incredibly smart.

Thank you Face the Nation for putting this up.
His phlosophy of US intervention in Vietnam War is why we admired Bobby in the mid to late 60's. It's applicable to the wars we are supporting today in the Middle East. He learned much about Racism and his personal views on racism during his last years too. He was a humanitarian in heart. A good man, as was his brothers. I miss Ted in Senate as well.
great family of public servants who really loved this country. i'm really proud that there from my home state of massachusetts
Mary Joe doesn't share your affections for Ted, I'm sure ;)
Pretty sure theres only 2 good Kennedys. Ted is not one of them.
I've just laid my eyes on this guy and after some minutes I can see why he was rooted out. He was true and wanted to impact change. People like him pay the highest price. Always.
I had never heard of him before a Netflix documentary I saw. And I thought the same thing. This man was non corruptible and for that reason they took him out.
Yes..just like what happened to Tucker Carlson
"Rooted out"? He wasn't assassinated by the government or anything. He was assassinated due to his support for Israel by a supporter of Palestinian nationalism.

A beautiful comment that caught my eye, too.
We will never see the like of John & Robert Kennedy again. God bless them.
Losing his brother took alot of life out of Bobby. He had to be in shock for awhile. Then he starts to regain his spirit, and he's taken out. There's some evil in the human race and I hope hope there's justice in the heavens. The killers got to live a natural life and even got testimonials at their funerals. There's some evil in the world.
it's in their own fence also, LBJ
There is such a deep and profound sadness in his face. The Kennedy family -- just like the Sullivan family in WWII -- gave up far too much in service of this country. We owe them a debt of gratitude forever.
I see it too. Maybe it takes going through intense hardship to see the effects in other people.

AMERICAS LOST PRESIDENT
R.I.P. Bobby, your namesake will carry on with your values, humanity , integrity, determination and dedication.
Bobby Kennedy had a reputation for being "ruthless" when he served as Attorney General during his brother's administration. To some extent that description came from his demeanor in those days. He was serious and hard-edged, rarely seen smiling. But after JFK was assassinated and grief took hold of Bobby, he mellowed and his temperament became a credit to his wisdom. He became the man you see in this video, fully in charge yet compassionate in equal measure.
The same thing happened to me after my wife passed away, January 2020, I could not have expressed it any more eloquently, Thank you
@@michaelsiemering513 I am sorry to hear that your wife passed away. Blessings to you and your family at this most difficult time. Thank you for replying to me.
An aide to RFK once remarked, “It’s not that Bobby was ruthless. It’s that he was incapable of not telling the truth, and sometimes the truth is ruthless.”
He spoke with passion and conviction completly missing today. I liked his hand gestures as well, where he beat his chest with his fist to emphisise his words, as if they came from the heart.
Yes, by beating his chest, he was counting himself among the people who were responsible for the deaths of children and the mutilation of civilians of a country 12,000 miles away in a war that couldn’t be won.
That is humility. Compassion.
REAL ANSWERS, REAL QUESTIONS, AND RESPECT ON BOTH SIDES. WOW!
That's why America was N° 1 in those days...
AN HONORABLE MAN 1967--ALAS, WE ONLY HAD HIM FOR ONE MORE YEAR.....
Thoughtful discussion. How far we have fallen!
I think Bobby Kennedy would have went down in history as a better President than JFK.
Let’s vote
!!!
I like his smile lol also he seems self concious when he talks, be cool to have met him, one day we will all of us will.
So much I could say but it's all reflective. Hind sight is 20/20.
I pray we learned some great lessons. He had alot to show and tell. And yes.....
He truly was his Brother's keeper.
Ps. His wife , Ethel was a great wife to him and mother to their children.
When he was running for the U.S. Senate from New York, which he won, he visited my hometown, addressed a crowd in the Public Square and rode an open convertible to the local newspaper for an interview. As he was shaking hands from the car, I was able only to touch his hand. Years later, I met his daughter, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, lieutenant governor of Maryland.
I met Robert Kennedy in early 1966 at a college newspaper conference held at Columbia University. He was the guest speaker at the banquet held on the last night of the conference. He had been serving in the Senate for about a year at that time.
My group arrived late to the banquet because of a subway problem, so we had to wait in a small library until there was a break in the program. Remarkably, this was also the place where Senator Kennedy was waiting until time for his speech. So my group of ten young women from a college in Virginia got to meet him and chat for a brief time. He was a lovely person, very courteous yet a bit shy which really surprised me. He never acted like our presence was an intrusion, and he welcomed our conversation.
It has touched me to see this video because that same reserved, refined quality I remember about him comes through so clearly here. What a moment that was.
I shook his hand when i was 11 at the motorcave he was in going down 10th st in Indianapolis IN.....6 weeks b4 he was killed
@@vivianpowell1732 Dear Vivian, thank you for sharing your story, it's very meaningful to me, and to all of us who didn't get the chance to know about Senator Kennedy further.

Thank you, for giving me the chance to picture him in a more realistic way. 🙏🏻♥️
A MAN OF PRINCIPLE . SADLY LACKING IN THE POLITICS OF TODAY .

That was President John F Kennedy that saved the world from nuclear war during Cuban Missile Crisis! Bobby was Atty Gen and The President’s brother and close advisor so he assisted President Kennedy but, it was JFK

Senator Robert Kennedy was a great statesman who really had an impressive ability to keep focusing on what is best for this country. May we all always honor him!
I was a little girl in elementary school the day he was shot. I remember waking up late that morning and asking my mom, why didn't you wake me up for school? and she said solemnly "there's no school today, another Kennedy has been shot and killed." I had been five years old when John was killed and remember asking my grandma if I could turn on cartoons, the day of his funeral. "No one is showing cartoons today, the President is being buried." And she went back to her knitting while the funeral played on our old black and white TV.
That's incredibly sad. 😢
And this country’s been down the tubes ever since that tragic night in Los Angeles over 50 years ago
Well, I'd say the starting date was really 11-22-63.

“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.”

How far we’ve fallen. Just look at that monstrosity in the White House today.
Watching this you can see how torn he was. He wanted to run then and there, but feared that it would only be looked at as a personal battle between him and Johnson.
Yes we do have a monster in the white house,who puts a shame of all the men that came before him,and is sick in the head, and has brought out the worst of this country and is right out racist.
Im sure jfk and bobby would have love trump. Hope you know that the kennedys back in the days were sort of the black sheep. His whole family did not come from politics they build themselves there specially his father
The questions were horrible. Senator Kennedy kept saying he wanted to talk about the issues and at least halfway through the show every question was about the politics of the presidential campaign. I am going to see if I can listen to the second half ... Senator Kennedy was given a chance to discuss his views on the war during the second half of the show, but since half the show was wasted on questions involving presidential politics, the show ended just as the discussion started getting interesting. And although I am a Republican, I can see that Senator Kennedy was likely a very sincere, thoughtful and honorable man who tried to place principles above politics.
He is a moral force of good and integrity, not perfect only the Lord is, but he tried to do good.
Speaking on pulling out of Vietnam 🇻🇳🏛💵💵💵💵🌨💰is what put Dr.King on the hit list of the ELITE$ 🔫👿😈👹👁💉💊
Politicians from both sides could learn something from watching RFK. And the media could also see what true news men used to be like. Class and integrity are long lost arts I'm afraid.
Absolutely agree -true politician and true journalists - today’s politicians and journalists should watch this and learn. Robert Kennedy was a class act in every sense.
If you asked the youth about this man you would get crickets. Most don't know the President had a brother.
I lived through this period and am still affected when seeing RFK being interviewed. The similarities between then, 1968, and today are striking. Today, we once again have an RFK challenging an incumbent president at a Democratic convention that will take place in Chicago. Today, Ukraine has replaced Vietnam as a questionable war that we are involved in.
We have a chance now with his son, Rfkjr! Let’s do this!
This is absurd. 50k Americans died in Vietnam - the us is not directly involved in Ukraine at all.
What a loss, for humanity. This guy was different class, a huge intellect. He always saw the world as the objective form and not just the insularity of home politics. He had the heart to say that black lives mattered in 67'. that the lives of women and children mattered in war torn vietnam, that the lives of american solidiers were put in such a position that it didn't warrant respect in their own country, that the mafia and drugs were a greater enemy to America than any cold war. The world lost a great human being in 69', America lost a future great president.
Of all the assasinations there is no doubt in my mind,and I lived through this period as an adult,that the death of Bobby Kennedy was the worst thing that happened to this country.
❤️🕯️❤️
I was 16. I believe you're right. JFK'S assassination was an unimaginable shock. RFK's created an unspoken sense of futility in many millions of Americans.
So different from JFK... More in touch with the times and the issues of the times... What a president he'd have been.
He was by far the best Kennedy brother. A brilliant logical man.
RFK. A visionary!
