It is a great ‘what-if’ of the last century. What if Robert F. Kennedy, brother of the murdered JFK, had not himself been assassinated while campaigning for the Presidency in 1968?
This documentary reveals how Kennedy transformed from Cold War warrior to advocate of peace, from son of privilege to champion of the down-trodden, from timid adolescent to potential President.

You are doing an amazing job.
Continue doing your excellent job.❤️
Look and investigate the real main goal. Of that meating..
He would have been the worst human being to be a president, and the best president to have happened to have been a rotten individual. Brilliant politician but a terrible person.
No public reply from me xcept this!!!! When it's saposta come out & it will!!!! Everyone will be more than Stunned as to WHY on these 2......God Bless America. 😎😎😎😎😎....few will believe,,,,it's there....
@@robertscheibe5287 you can see it clearly ? Now.. stop poking youre ellebow. In every bodys eye... no visabilty that way.. elbow man.. pfttt
I am diehard Republican, the Kennedys were for people not party. They didn’t care if you were a democrat republican or independent. I think Robert would’ve been a awesome president. Rest in peace to all the Kennedys.
This conservative agrees
Social Democrat agrees
A Finnish conservative agrees
You'll have your chance to make it a reality in 2024.
Well stated.. I feel we would have a better daycare system for American children now if Robert had survived. He had a very deep connection to children because of his childhood issues. I saw this when he went to a poor section in the south and asked have the eaten today? We are failing in this area. These are the future Adults and he had deep empathy for the whole American families not just certain ones
If Jack, Malcolm, Martin, and Bobby had lived, this country would have been so much greater.
Don’t forget Medger Evers. The late J.Edgar Hoover was behind many assignations, eliminating people, having people poisoned.
Our gov.killed them all and more.
That's why they was killed. Sad just sad!
Malcom was a race hustler
Oh yes 🙌 and now his son trying to unites to this country together Robert Kennedy jr
I hope He will be next president
The bravery of RFK Jr. To stand up for whats right and run for office after what they did to his dad an uncle, is truly inspiring.
I definitely concur ❤
he is a nutter
@ nicholasa: I agree with you.
If I were Bobby , I woud fix the reckoning days for lbj,nixon, and poppy bush.
No, The Arabic guy, sir han sirhan didn't do it. He appeared with a pistol but stood far away. The Doctor confirmed that Bobby got a pointblank behind the right ear as excessive smoking powder remained.
38:20 "Bobby Kennedy, people want to touch him to grab at him. *There are kids running after his car."* Those words made me light up, because I was one of those kids. The night before the Indiana primary, I ran alongside his car a block from my house and got to touch his hand (through a swarm of other hands). That was May 6, one month before he died.
wow that's awesome
Wow amazing
Awesome 😊
@@kinthermedia6164 It's tragic, as well as an awesome memory.
I'm honored he even visited my state.
I think it is incredible to imagine what Bobby's wife Ethel had to suddenly take on, as she dealt with her own shock and grief, along with raising 10 children, and soon giving birth to their 11th child. Yes, they had money and that helped, but she was left to nurture, guide, love and raise those 11 children on her own and help them through the grief of suddenly losing their dad. I wonder how that was all done in the wave of a national tragedy happening to the man she loved and depended on.
I can't imagine the fear! First her brother-in-law and then her husband! I notice Jackie re-married one of the wealthiest men in the world and left the country. I definitely think that was to try to keep her kids and herself safe, more than it was about remarrying out of love.
She didn't raise them on her own. The Kennedy family is large. There were plenty of aunts and uncles, older cousins and close family friends. Not to mention, hired help. But I'm sure she was terribly heart broken 💔
I think Ethel would have made the greatest First Lady ever!
Thank God those kids still went down the right path in life, and not into a life of organized crime or drug addiction. One of his son'e Robert Kennedy Jr. is running for the 2024 Presidential Campaign.. That shows the mom did a good job raising them kids to do good in life and not turn to a life of gangs, drugs, crime, etc.. I'm sure it was devastating to the entire family and having to overcome such a traumatic event in their family must have been very hard, but they made it through after all. Thank God they stuck together as a family and made it through their struggle... SAD LOSS TO ALL OF THEM (the Kennedy Family) AND OF COURSE, FOR THIS COUNTRY AS WELL..
....
A strong woman with strong values!
I shook his hand in Omaha during the Nebraska Primary ..We all thought he would become President ..
Wow. An historical handshake. Wow. Thanks for sharing that.
So glad it never happened.
@@MarkHarrison733 ??
@@telcobilly He was a warmonger.
@@MarkHarrison733 He absolutely was not a warmonger! Either you don’t know your history or you’re very badly mistaken because RFK was one of the very biggest proponents of ending the war in Vietnam. That was probably his biggest campaign theme if not the biggest. Maybe read a book once in a while 🤷🏻♀️
The 1960's was the darkest part of American History in terms of politics there were so many "what ifs" and vast possibility of a better place.
I think the 1860s were worse.
"The 2020s is more extreme than the 1960s" Noam Chomsky
@@mackenziedog1872 Chomsky is wrong, like every other thing he says.
It was a murderous decade.
In terms of everything in hindsight.
I think that Robert F. Kennedy would have been a very good President. It's so unfortunate that we as Americans never got the chance to have him lead the nation. May God Bless America.
Rfk can still be president, but thru his son!
RFK JR 2024!!!!!
A complex man. A human being who was willing to learn. He was not bound by the privileged society that he was born into. All human beings have strength and weakness. Bobby Kennedy took his strength, an ability to actually see the world around him. He had been sheltered from the poverty and needs of the downtrodden. He sought it out to understand. Few men or women have this courage to look at the accepted status quo. Bobby did and it changed him forever. What might we have been if this brilliant man had been president? Sadly, we will never know.
Great comment. Thank you.
RFK had the same qualities that Lincoln had…clever, charismatic political operators, tortured by depression and personal loss, motivated to help the poor and down-trodden, and anguished by war, and with an abiding sense of justice for the common man. They also had visions of a better future for mankind, only to be killed before they could realize the dream. They were both also able to be introspective - they could step outside themselves and look at themselves - which is a rare trait and highly intelligent.
That was his part to play in this big story that is being told. ”His-story"
What a joke.
@@biz-guideinvestments735 Whether you are a man or a woman, history is important. Too much is being made out of the word history, I'm a native of Denmark, speak and read the Danish language fluently. We have the same word for history we just pronaunce it differently. However in the Danish language the word for "his" is him.
I love when he spoke after MLK Jr’s assassination. He quoted Aeschylus & calmed the crowd. Would have been a great president ❤
we can still have him as president thru his son rfk jr.
@@robertosso5210 As much as I like him & all his flaws. The voice thing would get to me.
@@samanthab1923 yes his voice is a big thing against him because he wont able to be a good speaker
@@robertosso5210 It’s a shame. I remember the grandmother Rose sounding like that.
I think that was his most famous speech....straight from his heart
Joni Mitchell once said in a radio interview: “They kill the ones that give us hope; don’t they.”
RFK was a hero for America with his compassion, understanding and love of for peace🕊
We have lost so many . . .
I often ponder how our country would be today if he wasn’t murdered . I adore him. I wasn’t born yet when he was murdered, but boy do I wish he would have lived . From what I have learned I think he would have been one of our greatest presidents. May he rest in peace .
Pretty crazy to think that the US Government/ CIA murdered both John and Bobby
I am sure he is at peace with his brother.
Amazing to think there was a time when American politicians frequently quoted poets.
Bobby Kennedy's motorcade was coming through the Lockefield Gardens Projects on Indiana Avenue in Indianapolis in 1968. I busted through the crowd and shook his hand, I was 10 years old. He was there when MLK was assainsinated. When he was killed it devastated me for years to come.
I feel the same way. It changed the hope we all had. The GOP will lie, cheat, kill & steal to hold power. I always knew that when JFK was murdered, it was planned for a reason. Then MLK & RFK sealed my belief. Who would have ever though it would get this bad with Trump, MTG, Boebert., etc. Liberty & Justice for all is not important to some, they support a liar & bully former guy. The vision of what was supposed to be, could never be reached because of this.
I felt that way about JFK it was the first time I would be voting, ever. Young people and friends in our age group wanted JFK, because he had such a way of talking to people, and he was young, had good ideas so we voted for him
He wasn't a war monger! He wanted to keep the US out of VIETNAM. Johnson was the one who wanted in.
Big buisness made a fortune during that war! (Conflict)
EXCELLENT! I met his mother and listened to him speak in Nebraska on Mothers day weekend in 1968.. RFK would have been a great President! RFK had amazing blue eyes..
THat is fascinating
Honestly I do believe he would’ve been a great president and yes even more than he’s brother because of the genuine love and care he truly showed.
You are duped by another rich man.
I loved the way he and Cesar Chavez hooked up like 2 peas in a pod. Rich man, poor man. I got to meet Bobby in person when he was campaigning for Jack in our little Texas town in 1960. He was an incredible campaign manager. But after Jack he was a profoundly changed man. He was the one who predicted we could have a black man as President 40 years on from 1968.
I'll always remember his smile and how get got off the plane andheaded straight for all the kids behind the fence. I was 8. There were boy scouts girl scouts, even then we knew this guy was special.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I was 8 also and we talked on the playgrounds about how excited we were because Bobby was going to be our president. Nixon was run out of the White House because he was going to reveal what really happened with the JFK assassination it's now been revealed. Watergate was a setup. Go Bobby Jr!
@IslandGirl-nt6ry Hello and greetings to you in Texas USA 🇺🇸 from Ireland 🇮🇪. Your comment about Bobby Kennedy is good. Every one was shocked and distraught when Bobby was shot in 1968. Equally so when JFK was shot in 1963.
Unfortunately there will always be evil people who will carry out foul deeds.
I wish you a good week ahead 👍🙏😊 Michael
Oh what could have been… you are missed, Bobby. We need you today.
16 years of JFK then RFK, instead of LBJ, Tricky Dicky and the spot remover Ford. Which would have been better for the people?
CIA murdered both of them.
I wonder why not B|ДEN...
@marco - two sociopathic KKK party murderers JFKKK & BOBOKKK
@À Strand On Wednesday he announced his candidacy on filled paperwork.
Bobby Kennedy Jr is running in 2024🇺🇲🎉
Lyndon Johnson was not reelected in 1964,that was his first term as an Elected President,he just ascended to the Presidency by JFK's demise in 63.
My mother served him on a diplomatic flight with Eastern Airlines.... she said he was so kind and thanked her. Rest in peace.
a great documentary about a great man - I support Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for President -
Him, along with the loss of his brother, was not only the biggest loss for America, but possibly the entire world. Always very interesting but very sad to think about
My grandma told me where she was when JFK was killed and how the Haitians thought so highly of him because he fought for human rights and how it felt like the world was ending when it happened. She said it felt like 9/11 smh
I always felt Lyndon Johnson had a major role in not only JFKs death but also RFK.
I feel the same way.
Agreed
Your feeling is not important , the truth is what matters
wahid, the truth of JFK's assassination will never be established. The findings of the Warren Commission are way too hard to swallow.
wahidmalikyar there's truth to everything, even our feelings,
It's really horribly sad. anytime any man has come along who can do better for our country and truly wants to help the poor and mistreated, some jerk comes along and takes him away from us.
Its all planned. When these elites see a "NO" guy like the Kennedys. They get rid of him.
Not a lone Gunman, I believe it was a conspiracy by the powers that be.
Rest in peace, Bobby.
Amen
What a different world it would have been if JFK, Bobby and MLK had all made it. Its beyond tragic.
Malcom x and jon lennon too
He was a different and humbled man after his brother’s murder.
Even as a Republican I would have loved to have Bobby Kennedy elected
I m republican too Color's but I too would like to have seen Bobby actually be president
Why support self centered trump? He is nothing like Robert Kennedy?
@@islanderbyrd1881 Trump is the best President we’ve ever had.
@@islanderbyrd1881 the Kennedy family would be nothing if not self centered. don't kid yourself, John and Bobby had egos the size of Manhattan
it can still happen, but 56 years later thru his son!
His brother was a good President. Bobby could've been a great President.
This is probably the best documentary I have ever seen. Bobby Kennedy definitely would have won the election and our world would be a lot better than it is today. RFK, Jr. is a lot like his father in many ways and he is running for President in 2024.
i dont think 68 was a definite for bobby kenndy to win the nomination remember he entered the race a little late and humphrey who was the vice president was leading big. but rfk would of definetly would have eventually become president in either 72 or guaranteed in 76
@@robertosso5210 Bobby Kennedy was assassinated the day that he won the California primary. He had won five out of six democratic primary states.
RFK JR is nothing like his father and I'm not just talking about vaccines here
@@jessepferr2814 in a good or bad or just different way?
@@WesternTruthTV extremely different way. RFK SR. Was a cop who was best buddies with Joseph mccarthey he was in no way a proggressive. He became more liberal towards the end of his life but was not like LBJ and Hubert Humphrey. Look He wanted to build a multi ethnic working class coalition. He wanted to end malnutrition and end the war in Vietnam. But that was only at the very end of his life he was basically a conservative for most of his life. His son is the exact opposite. RFK JR. Hqs praised hugo Chavez. Is a election denier and also is a conspiracy theorist about his own fathers killer. He is a economic proggressive to the point of bernie sanders. His father was not and his uncle definetely wasn't. RfK and JFK were pretty conservative people at least by 1960s standards. their is so much more things that can explain why RFK JR. Is the polar opposite of his father that would take me forever to explain. Just look it up but yea they are not one of the same. Plus the only reason why he is doing good int the polls is because biden and trump are gonna run and I hate both of them. But believe me having RFK JR. As president would be much worse. Oh he also was in favor of jailing climate change deniers so that is another thing about him thay is different from his father.
“Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin, and John”
What's that from?
Abraham, Martin and John song by Dion. Lots have sung it though.
I loved and still love this song.
@robinwarren it is a song written by Dion and sung by Dion about the 3 assassinations in 1963 and 1965: Jack Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King.
What an apt song reminding us of loss of dreams and possibilities.
My grandfather worked for him, if he'd lived, and won, my grandfather might have been Press Secretary.
Oh no. What a bad luck for both!
Nice to hear such as nice story.
❤️❤️
The deaths of the Kennedy' s were a tremendous shock to me. I was heartbroken both times and since then I mark the time in before and after. It was horrible!
It seemed the nation was infected with evil ever since JFK's murder.😢
I cried that day. He would've been President without doubt. ❤
Yes without a doubt he would have been.
He may not had being a president but he did inspire many to be.
he can still be president, that can still happen thru his son Rfk Jr.
it can still happen thru his son
He did a lot of great things for this country
Like what?
They were crooks the whole family was.
The party's different now it turned into a progressive anti. Nucular family, communistic American hating.
Machine I don't see too many Republican supporters burning American flags.. And that's the way it is good night
I remember when RFK was killed and everyone my age were devastated! I’ve always wondered how America would be different today if he had lived!
I cried for a solid week and didn’t even know where I was
HE IS STILL ALIVE AND JFKJR THE VICE PRESIDENT TOO TRUMP IN 2024
Having grown up in those days, I saw and heard JFK speak when he was running for President. My older sister and I went to see him when he campaigned in our home town. JFK was bright, articulate, an excellent speaker, and the girls all went ga-ga over him. Fast forward to when Bobby was running for a Senate Seat in New York, our family was driving through a town in NY and it just so happens that Bobby was campaigning there. We could hear his voice over the public address system although we could not see him.
I too have questioned how a Divine Creator could allow both of these great Americans to be assassinated. I still question WHY? However, I suppose we cannot expect Divine Intervention cannot solve all our problems. One thing for sure, our country would be a lot different if both of those men had lived.
Amen
My mother remembers when he was shot. She was about 13.
Is that what you call it “Divine Intervention?” Hgh
Why ? Because there is no divine creator … no mythical guy in the sky I’m afraid …. Religion is nothing but mind control.
That was USA,so last hope
Haven't had a politician of either side I trusted like this guy..I stood by tracks and waved a small flag as train carrying him.passed. Next day I was still so furious at his murder I burned the flag. I think you had to be there to understand the sense of loss
Bobby Kennedy jr. Is now running in 2024🇺🇲🎉 he's absolutely what this country needs right now 💯
@@mommyberlin yeah one more empty headed frigging crazy man. I have yet to hear his ideas on foreign policy but I have trouble hearing the psycho say anything
The CIA wacked him, and his brother.
I grew up in McLean Va. And went to St. Lukes catholic school. The Kennedys attended the church, as their home was only a couple miles away. I remember the Kennedys coming in and taking up a whole aisle! After RFK was killed, Ethel would come to the early 7 AM mass, sit in the back by herself, dressed in black, with a black Vail, it was so sad and I was only 10 years old at the time.
Oh wow. I’m so sorry Bout that. Sgt Pepr. I’m a disabled person. I’m scared that Trump will try to cheat at the election in 2024.😪😢. But I did donate alittle bit of my $1,400 dollar stimulus money to the Biden and Harris campaign.
I would like regulation for the internet. Ur not a Kennedy, a politician or something like that. But u should spread it around. If enough ppl keep trending it. We can apply pressure. Ppl won’t feel hopeless and helpless. The attacher will be picked up, arrested for the cybercrime they committed.

1968 was terrible year; I was 17. As a male, I was looking ahead to the real possibility of Viet Nam two years dow the road. In the space of less than three months both Martin and Bobby were bailed-out. The utter hopelessness of that period of time has never fully left me. Fortunately I emerged unscathed and have had a productive and fruitful life, thank Go
d.
You and I both. My brother had to go, I signed up but it ended before they took me. It was chaotic and dangerous for me, I don't know about you at your age but I was 4 years younger and me and my friends paid a heavy price, if you know what I mean.
Man that whole decade was evil! Martin Luther, John Kennedy, and Robert all mysteriously killed by loan assassins?!! I’m done not buy that at all!
Thank GOD🙏🏿
thank R. M. NIXON
The greatest tragedy to America , and the world, was the loss of the Kennedy brothers.
By far the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my life!!! Huge fan of the criminal dynasty but definitely not a greatest tragedy in our diseased hateful racist society!
and of course, ya have no facts or evidence .... only rhetoric to cover the KENNEDY MEGALOMANIA
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.

Actually RFK said it, but George Bernard Shaw wrote it.
Whom ever, there isn’t a brain on either side of the aisle that thinks that way.
The Democratic Party is walking in quicksand and the Republicans are corrupt.
Robert Kennedy spoke that at JFK"S funeral speech. I remember it like yesterday! His voice wavered as he spoke. I am not sure who wrote it, I assumed he wrote it himself. Maybe it was used again by Ted to honor him .
How different times have become. The civility & simplicity then in contrast to the corruption & rancor, now.
Mid to late 60's were anything but calm. Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy assassinated in 1968. Men drafted and sent off to Vietnam. Major riots in LA and Newark over race relations. George Wallace openly supporting segregation in Alabama. Bull Conner enforcing those laws with fire hoses and dogs. Numerous protests on college campuses across the country against the war and promoting civil rights. Yes it is bad now but 1968 was a scary time too.
Civility and simplicity then ?? It was not like that for everyone, Jamie…
We’re u around back then I was it was as bad as last summer when he was running for office and when his idiot brother got shot
Hahaha, bet you are being sarcastic. But if not:
Assassinations are civil?
Calling Nixon a civilised president?!
Every one is replaceable, unfortunately
The tragedy that this family endured 😫
My great idol. If he had been president the world had been better.♥️🙏♥️
🙏🏿♥️🙏🏿♥️🙏🏿♥️🙏🏿♥️
One thing that makes history so interesting is how things could have been avoided. Or is it fate.
The saddest tragedy to the Kenedy assacssination was learning later that Robert Kennedy's son was upstair watching the happenings down and saw his father shot!
What a very traumatizing scene for a kid to see.
I never knew that. How horrible!
The Secret Service and FBI should have protected all Presidential candidates. That was reckless and unprofessional given the problems in the 1960's.
Especially when you consider that what the Kennedys and other great men of the times were doing was entirely outrageous and completely outside the status quo.🥶

Bobby would have been a great American President that never was.
The Evil of mankind destroyed man hopes for peace, democracy and justice.
Under Bobby's presidency, the Vietnam war would have come to an honourable conclusion.
Bobby, has the intellectual capability to see war as an enemy of peace and mankind. He had the capacity to end the Vietnam war to America's advantage.

Older brother Jack and Bobby got America entrenched in Vietnam by sending 15,000 military in that country. Let's not forget that.
@@jamesanthony5681 Robert S. McNamara, and thus inevitably called “McNamara’s 100,000,” the project was a way to meet the manpower demands of an escalating war. Unwilling to fill the ranks through politically risky policies such as drafting college students or deploying large numbers of National Guard and Reserve personnel to Vietnam, the Johnson administration turned to the pool of men the president privately termed “second-class fellows.”
The book also addresses a separate but related issue: lower standards that led to recruiting or drafting men with criminal records, medical defects, social maladjustments and psychiatric disorders.
By the time McNamara’s project ended in December 1971, 354,000 formerly ineligible men had been inducted into the Army (which had 71 percent of the total), Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force. Overwhelmingly, they were sent to Vietnam.
Of course, terms like “substandard” or “mentally unfit” were never used by the Johnson administration to describe McNamara’s 100,000, officially referred to as “New Standards Men.” The program was part of the Great Society/War on Poverty initiatives to provide education, training and opportunity to a disadvantaged class of American society.
I only know ONE thing
As a young girl at that time..I like his PERSONALITY
I imidiately felt..as a norwegian.
THAT PERSON I SHOULD TRUST AND LIKE AS MY PRESIDENT
He had this special Father.type that People could feel both as a beloved family.member and a person you could feel real comforted with
A good Father...Friend..and a true Protector....
I felt this IMIDIATELY
Heyyyy yayyyy
Black people believed in Bobby. I know, I was one of them.
ME 2

True. Black ppl did believe in RFK. And white ppl believed in and respected MLK. And bc everyone followed them both is probably why they were assassinated.😢
You can believe all you want but Democrats have done nothing but hurt black people.
Here is a story about RFK from a South Korean politician, Kim Jong Pil. He was member of 1961 Coup.
After the successful Coup, JFK told the New SK Regime to send envoy, so he came to USA. When he entered White House office, RFK was sitting behind a large desk talking on the phone with his feet on the desk. He was on the phone for half an hour without acknowledging the SK envoys. So Kim Jong Pil decided to sit on the chair infront of the desk, and put his feet on the desk, just like how RFK was doing. After seeing this, RFK hung up the phone and said "What is the point of this coup? What do you expect to achieve by this?" in a very condesending manner.
So Kim told RFK "Our goal is too make our country strong and wealthy, so that we don't have to beg aids from your country".
After hearing this, RFK seemed impressed by the response, and he lowered his feet, stood up and shook Kim's hand.
Thinking of the ramifications of RFK becoming President is overwhelming. What a different world we would live in today had he been allowed to do so. I say allowed because it is always those in the shadows that truly dictate the path of this country. See what they have brought us to. Shameful.
Agreed Kaye Ingram
Horrible, especially DJT
He was the 4th of 9 children. Don’t leave out Rosemary Kennedy(eldest daughter of Joeseph Sr and Rose) she will not be forgotten anymore✊🏾💯
Robert Kennedy used this beautiful quote from Aeschylus
'Even 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'.
He said this on the night of Martin Lutehr kings murder at Indianapolis wich remained very calm becuase of His speech
Martin Luther King died in Memphis.
Amen
Absolutely
RFK gave the speach in Indianapolis informing those present that MLK Jr had been murdered in Memphis.
Absolutely a wonderful documentary. Thanks for uploading.
The empathy you saw on RFK Sr. Face as he greeted the underprivileged is classic and why he was a hero in his own right separate from his brother JFK
his son says it was one of his bodyguards who shot him in the back
I still think it wasn't Sirhan Sirhan alone......too many questions surrounding that event.
The CIA
@@beautifulangel3815 yeah....I"m pretty sure they had their hand in it....somehow...someway.
Agreed. Read “A Lie to Big to Fail” by Lisa Pease. She goes into great detail about others who were involved.
@@brettsfav4 Thanks.. I wanna check that out myself
This was a beautiful documentary. Well put together and very intriguing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have much respect for Robert Kennedy Jr for running for President. Especially after what happened to his father and uncle John Kennedy. Praying for him because he is a good man and brave. He seems to be very down to earth. Wishing him good luck & God be with him.
Sirhan Sirhan didn’t kill Robert Kennedy, he only fired 2 shots in Kennedy’s direction one hit a door frame the other hit the man next to Kennedy in the head.
This was a beautiful documentary
Had Robert Kennedy become President, there would have been no Watergate, no incursion into Cambodia, no Kissinger. Ironic that Daley, a man capable of extraordinary cruelty, was set to get behind RFK. Kennedy himself said to an aide, “Daley is the ball game.”
RFK was a warmonger.
@Padraig Warren He won the California primary and was gaining momentum towards Chicago. Humphrey came out too late against Vietnam, and likely would have become Secretary of State under RFK. No way Nixon beats a Kennedy. That was his kryptonite.
@@jamesanthony5681 Theres only 1 reason Nixon lost to JFK and that was because the Kennedys got in bed with the Mafia.
Did you know this man's son is running for President in 2024? On the Independent ticket. I think I'll vote for him...
Yeah we know. I had high hopes for Bobby's son. And he's not going to get my vote.
Absolutely vote for Trump so we can FINALLY get WWIII!! @@maryw3989
Trump 2024
Jr. Is a far cry from senior... you could say he's a republican in a democratic clothing.
he doesn’t have a chance . Lol nobody is even talking about him
RFK came to Sunset High School (Portland Oregon) one month before he was murdered. Interesting event he was very charismatic, he left a big impression.
I thought of this man many times in my 62 years . Respect and thoughts of the day I seen This Man on the train podium . America lost a Great President. Not at the hands of sirhan . We as a nation were robbed by a hater as a individual and as a group . I miss
" what could have been "
World would be better with Kennedy Brothers.
I was a junior in high school in 1968, I do remember that he wanted to be the difference maker. After King was assassinated the expression on his face told me that he realized he would be next, the loss of bobby changed American politics in a very drastic way. Bobby wanted to bring politics out of the closet. Bobby had everything working on his behalf, he was funny he could be serious, caring and he wanted to be the opposite of Lyndon Johnson the individual who truly wanted him dead because bobby was a prosecutor at heart that's why he was his brothers attorney general, the youngest in American history.
Yes it happened in TX, to his brother, John "coincidences don't happen" they are planned. Then after Johnson, we got stuck with Nixon. All these politicians get pardoned. No Justice!
I can’t wait to vote for his son. RFK Jr 2024🇺🇸❤️
Except none of Sirhans bullets hit RFK. He was shot point blank from behind.
I'm almost 82. I was 26 when Bobby Kennedy was assassinated . Some Precious part of me died the night Bobby was murdered. But that part of me has been resurrected with Bobby Kennedy Junior's candidacy for POTUS. When I first heard he was running, I had bought into the mainstream media portrayal of him as a conspiracy nut but I felt I owed it to Bobby to at least give his son a listening to. I'm so glad I did! After listening to many interviews I got a feel for his sincerity and Integrity. What's more, when I learned of his practicing a rigorously honest spiritual program, being an old friend of Bill's, well, that just put me over the moon! His emphasis on placing principles before personalities and not impugning the motives of others, but focusing only on policy differences keeps him out of the childish blame-game pettiness which has characterized politics for the last few presidential cycles.
For the last 15 years or so I've heard Republicans complain that liberals, like communists, want to redistribute the wealth from the Rich to the Poor. Well, I've been around a while and my experience over the last 50 years or so tells me that through corporate lobbying, payoffs, financing campaigns, etc., Corporate America has more than just captured the Agencies which are supposed to regulate it. It has captured the Whole political system, both Republicans and Democrats to essentially establish a political duopoly which has dismantled the union movement, decimated the middle class and created the homeless class with exorbitant rental rates, interest rates on homes and credit cards, school loans, and stagnated wages over the last 45+ years. And so, the Rich, like plutocrats, have been Redistributing the wealth from the Poor to the Rich! Bobby knows how to stop this because he's been suing Corporate America and the government agencies that are captured by Corporate America for polluting and injuring people, winning billions of dollars in judgments for the last 40 years. Please, just listen to his full interviews on RUclips! And IGNORE the mainstream media interviews which are almost always EDITED to take his comments out of context to skew his meaning or views.
When Bobby committed to this campaign to become president, he took a leap of faith. Let's all take a leap of faith with him because it's the right thing to do. Let's say goodbye and good riddance to the duopoly that thrives on us fighting one anotherand take a leap of faith into a new consciousness of Hope and healing and caring for one another. Let's stop voting for the ones who despise, and vote for the one who inspires!
I can remember the night Bobby Kennedy was shot. I was in Detroit with my sister. We'd watched Senator Kennedy talking, he'd just won the primary. Her husband had come home from work at Chryslers . He would always turn over to a channel that played pirate movies only. I went onto bed. I was 16 years old. I remember I'd told my sister when he won 1968 he would run again in 1972, I would be old enough to vote for him then. The next morning we got up and someone turned the tv on. We could hardly believe what had happened. I thought I couldn't believe it had happened again. It was hard for me to see Nixon as president. In 1972, I was old enough to vote but I didn't.
His big brother launched... - NO, their father launched EVERYTHING, the man was a monster.
He made all of his money in the “stock market”. I didn’t know illegal booze was traded on the Nasdaq but ok.
Unlike his scoundrel father and younger brother, RFK was a great man! RIP sir
Those 2 Brothers Ruffled a lot of feathers!!
So much talk about their legacy, yet so little talk about demanding justice to the real culprits.
Biden literally just made sure the cover up stays in place and no one batted an eyelid
Wasn’t there a bullet hole “behind” Kennedy’s ear? Difficult when Sir-han was in front…
The wouund also had powder burns despite sirhan never being that close.
suuure maaan suuure
Slaves were free Abraham Lincoln was gone, civil rights JFK was gone
Sad moments for everybody
Before I turned 13 in June 1968, I had experienced the assassinations of John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Bobby Kennedy. I'm still waiting the Universe to rebalance itself and make up for their deaths. I can accept the fates of the first two, but I still ask myself "what if?" in regards to Bobby.
I turned 13 in August 1968, it was a horrible time to be learning about life.
I was growing up in the 60s in grade school. Remember well the assassinations if JFK, MALCOM X, MLK, RFK.
and the riots in Chicago, New York and L.A. Such loss for America and I firmly believe those tragedies set America on the path we are at today. Corruption, division and criminal acts in government to say the minimum.
We can take our country back!
VOTE FOR ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. DEMOCRATIC
CANIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN 2024.
He shares the beliefs of his uncle and father and can UNITE AMERICA.
