These 3 journalists obviously looked up to him with the utmost respect, as if they foresaw they were in front of one of America's Founding Fathers !

We have one running right now. His son! #Kennedy24

Yes, I like him ! Biden is a disaster! @@JessJoanne

Apart from that time he got Marilyn Monroe done in😏

Verdade que perda horrivel tambem choro ate hoje q vejo Robert kennedi falar

@@DemonetisedZone dumb comment. He didn't. All those rumors were to try to get him and JFK out of office by J Edgar Hoover (if they did not shoot them) in saying he was scandalous when Bobby especially was incredibly faithful to his wife being Catholic having 11 kids and they had love at first sight. Bobby was a good gentle soul. All the duplicitous BS rumors were simply another attack on him and his brother...

Got that right he is so missed 😭😭😭😭😢

@@bacitahadi2830 me 2 so heartbreaking

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 tragic that his life was taken via aviolence

​@@rp3875 his life was taken by the Deep State

real journalists!

Politicians were actually smart, well read and articulate. How refreshing.

@@charlesh1 I was just an infant then but it certainly seems that the media was kinder & more gentle than now.

@@kellyo8324 the media then was not owned by corporations. They would loose their career quickly if they reported a story that was untrue. Everything was fact checked like crazy before you heard anything. You should watch the movie The post to see the integrity. Consumerism has been our death.

Exactly. I bet he was wearing a thong made of licorice.

​@@RetiredVet2020get some glasses! YES, THEY WERE!!🙈👎

What a great President he might have been....Just think of a possible 8 year term for him running this country, and then compare that to Sleepy Joe's period !

INTEGRITY!

@@rainbowseeker5930 NO modern president would have compared favorably to Bobby had he lived and been elected President. Our last great political personality, a rock star, beloved by the people, advocate for the poor and dispossessed, singular and unique, transcended labels.

@@temporarystranger95His son RFK Jr is very much like his father

That's why they killed him.

Yep!

I totally agree

How we needed him. How we still need him. I believe that no one is indispensable, but he was the exception that proved the rule. Anyone who thinks that not so only needs to look at the current President and the UK's current PM.

**Robert and his brother John,,, both wanted to stop the war,,,, lift up the poor,,, and bring equality,,, to the black community!!!! They were murdered by the dark forces,,, that still run this country!!!! Vote blue!!**

@@arthurfallowfield6133 The whole thing that sickens me is the real killer was the the security guard Thane Eugene Cesar, who was standing behind RFK & to his right holding on to his suit coat, when Sirhan who was standing in front of RFK 3 to 6 feet, began firing & the guard was seen pulling out his gun and shot RFK behind his right ear in the mastoid bone, causing powder burns on his right ear lobe.

Agreed!

It started in 1963 😢

It was a huge loss. Thank God his son RFK Jr. is stepping up in 2024, and it's going to be one hell of a fight.

Murdered by the same power that people are voting for today when they vote for a career politician/Establishment uniparty person.

Fortunately, we now have his son stepping up to the plate. I'm sure they will try to assassinate him also, its going to be one hell of a fight.

@@nicholasadamson2103 they will if his chances of getting in power is increased.

@@nicholasadamson2103 His son was just complaining on Twitter how the Secret Service won't come protect him not realizing that you have to wait a specific amount of days to receive protection if you're running for president. He just assumed you'd get it instantly for some reason which kind of worries me that he didn't even know how that simple process worked. Also why would he be worried about them protecting him when they took out his dad and uncle lol

@@nicholasadamson2103 RFK Jr. will never live up to his fathers legacy. That ship has sailed a looooong time ago.

People were classy back then, when they asked a question they let you answer before moving on.

If only....... ( Rest in peace dear RFK aka Bobby) One of a kind.....

@@melodymurdock459 I was 16 years old when he was assassinated. I remember visiting my late brother , he was shaken over Bobby's death. I believe had he lived a President RFK would have gotten us out of that terrible war. Many lives would have been saved. RIP Bobby.

People were civil back then. No shouting, no stepping someone over that’s talking. The interviewers listened to what the guest was saying and modified their questions accordingly. Today, the press are pigs. No manners. Didn’t their parents teach them properly?

And guests who answer the question asked rather than pivoting to the rehearsed talking point in response to the question they wish had been asked.

@Joseph Cacioppo judging people’s personal private lives???

When he was shot he asked about the condition of those near him. Witnesses reported that Kennedy said, “Is everybody okay? Is Paul all right?” Such a giving, caring man.

21:00 We desperately needed Bobby at that time, and his legacy would have continued today. He talked about a vision of racial and economic equity, he spoke to our values, he spoke to our conscience and he spoke to our hearts. His points about Vietnam applies as much today in the Middle East-what is our interest vs. our values. The only difference is we got better eliminating fewer people vs. many. We had a fork in the road and chose continued division, wealth vs. those without it, greed. So very sad.

@@MNBluestater , thank you for mentioning that. He was a great, heroic figure.

Don DiPentima I too met Robert F. Kennedy. He was the guest speaker at a college newspaper conference I attended in NYC in 1966. My group had a nice conversation with him before the banquet at the conclusion of the conference. Aside from special personal and family moments, meeting Robert Kennedy that night remains the most memorable experience of my life.

And how different the world would be had President Kennedy not been assassinated 😢

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.

What a shame that people can't make the connection to the Deep State today. They were the ones who murdered both the Kennedys.

@@johnnypastrana6727 Think Zionists, They did both and 9/11 as well.

​@johnnypastrana6727 indeed. RFK Jr has a lot to say on the matter.

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

Another corrupted democratic Kennedy that did nothing for the country

He said: “when you can admit a mistake you can become wiser than when you made the mistake.” He personified that truth.

What's the lesson?

​@@banzobeans I think the lesson was that sometimes mistakes can be made even when you thought you were doing the right thing at first.RFK was a serious anti- communist cold warrior who though confrontation was the best way to deal with the Soviets. Being " Brother -in - Chief changed that.

I am a little surprised RFK gave LBJ that much credit

I agree. I wouldve had a better life and a job if this man was still around.

Agreed

Old man Bush killed John n Bobby

We could be so much more Decent a People if Progressives never came to be. Period.

MLK was also taken out. Just their time to go I suppose.

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!

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.

and the world😢

RFK Jr 2024

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 RU-vid 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.

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.

👍👍👍👍👍

He was a prince that would have been our KING. What a MAGNIFICENT president and leader he would have been for our country.✌️

**I AGREE,,, BOTH ROBERT AND HIS BROTHER JOHN,,, WANTED US OUT OF VIETNAM!!!! AND WANTED TO INTEGRATE THE COUNTRY!!!!! THAT'S WHY THEY WERE MURDERED,,, BY THE DARK FORCES,,, THAT ARE STILL IN POWER TODAY!!!**

@@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.

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.”

Yah he couldve saved me from poverty. I live here im the usa and im so poor. Im living off of 1000 dollars a month.

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.

Speaking on pulling out of Vietnam 🇻🇳🏛💵💵💵💵🌨💰is what put Dr.King on the hit list of the ELITE$ 🔫👿😈👹👁💉💊

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

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. 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. 🙏🏻♥️

ANOTHER CIA HIT

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.
