RFK files: Why Ethel Kennedy is keeping them hidden

- Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley speaks to the "CBS This Morning" co-hosts about why Ethel Kennedy is keeping historic papers of her late husband, Robert F Kenney, hidden, and about the dispute over the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port, Mass.
They murdered 2 of her brother in laws and her husband, If I was her I wouldn't give them sh** That family has paid thier price and then some, they owe nothing
I have so much respect for Ethel Kennedy and her life as part of the Kennedy clan. She has been through so much. Really love the Kennedy history and saddened many are no longer alive.
I saw the two of them when I was in COLLEGE🇺🇸THEY BOTH HAD SUCH QUIET CLASS❤️❤️❤️
I would say that now that the late Sen. Ted Kennedy is deceased and no longer the family patriarch, Ethel is the head of the family now, the oldest and the family matriarch like the late Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy was! Families don't just have to be led my men, they can be headed up by strong intelligent women! Just like Queen Elizabeth now who has outlived her late husband Prince Philip! That's a matriarchal family now as well, nothing new! Miss the late great JFK and RFK as well as EMK, saw Bobby in person in 1968 at the St. Patrick Day's parade on Fifth Ave. NYC and was blown away by him! He exuded that famous Kennedy charisma, had a beautiful smile and those twinkling blue Irish eyes! His body was so fit and he wore a blue suit with a blue tie that matched his eyes and his thick golden brown wavy hair practically matched his tan! That energy he had has stayed with me for over 50 years! He had a keen intellect like JFK and great compassion for those less fortunate, like many of the others! May they rest in peace~ still waiting for an invite to the compound since I live in the area! lol
Funny how so many "strong women", (Hillary Clinton, Jacqueline Kennedy, etc.), stay with their powerful cheating husband's in order to use their fame and fortune to make a career for themselves. Jacqueline considered divorcing Jack because of his affairs until the Kennedy Family convinced her that it would ruin his presidential campaign.
Glad the compound is saved !!!!
Robert Kennedy was wearing Andy William's clip-on tie which he had borrowed the night he was assassinated.
As Kennedy was departing the Kennedy family suite in the Ambassador Hotel to deliver his victory speech, he told Andy Williams who watched the speech on television there, that he would do an on-camera hand signal near the end of the speech, (running his hand through his hair), so that Williams and his wife Claudine Longet could head down to the garage to meet the Kennedys for a late dinner afterward.
Ironically, Ethel Kennedy later had an affair with Andy Williams while he was married to Claudine Longet.
I don’t believe about the affair
@sonnywestfan1 To each his own.
There are those who strive to keep the Kennedy's mystique pristine.
@@russellgay5337ADULTERERS, WE SAY 💔
I lived in Hyannisport and have been inside the house for a job interview..Its not fancy and very plain..I didn't get the job,but I was ok with that...We use to see some of the grandkids on the skateboards.They dressed as if they were less advantaged kids..
When I was at school there was a girl who knew them from summering there as well. Never forget the boys had to borrow a sports jacket for some family event or another.
@@samanthab1923 couldn't the Kennedys afford their own sport jacket? I thought they were rich??
@@deliamcmahon4603 Certainly. I think the point was, they were wild & Ethel had her hands full with the little ones.
Yes, she had "all those children", but what newscasters rarely mention is that she was also pregnant with Rory, RFK's daughter born 12/12/1968. Ethel was about 3 months pregnant with Rory when RFK was assassinated on June 5, 1968.
One MercilessMing didn't know that thks
We know.
And it was Rory’s wedding that JFK JR was flying his private plane to that went down.
Great, open interview. Thanks.
RIP 🪦

🙏😥👼🏽✝️😇🕊
Shame on all who speak ill of these brothers when they are not alive to defend themselves.
I say that all the time. What ever happened to don't speak bad about the dead concept in this world.
Ethel probably trying to hide the files of Bobby and Jackie’s affair 😂😂😂😂
No way. They mourned together. Yes they got close after they lost JFK but maybe you have to really loose someone close to you to understand the trauma bond that comes out of something like that. Or maybe you’re right, I wasn’t there but that’s my 2 cents
“The Kennedys are treated like royalty, especially when they travel to Italy or Argentina because of their catholic faith”....Umm I think you forgot the most important foreign country to the Kennedys and where the are basically worshiped from the second they step off the plane and step onto their soil, their homeland...IRELAND!!! 🇮🇪
Matt tons of material has been written about the Kennedys and the connection to Ireland. What town the family came from and when Jackie took Caroline and John to Ireland to visit where the family comes from. So many pictures were taken of the Irish people welcoming JFK, RFK and all members of the family. Google it and you will enjoy all that was written and photographed. They showed so many Irish homes with the President's picture on the wall. I think they have to tell what other countries enjoyed and loved the President not just Ireland. Their homeland is America. Ancestors migrated from Ireland but I'm sure if you asked JFK and RFK, while very proud to have their Irish heritage they would say America is their homeland.
I am an American of Irish Descent and a Roman Catholic and wouldn't give them the time of day. They are for the most part "entitled jerks". THat is why Caroline and John were raised away from Hyannisport...Mrs. Onassis didn't want her kids influenced by their cousins...
@@japanjack62 too true bought the presidency with old joes money linda in scotland
🇮🇪💚
i would like to see both JFK and RFK papers released I iwas in HS when JFK was killed and many Americans as myself Loved both these great men
They’re waiting to release them after Ethel is dead.
This video states they're being released, not as your false title says 'why she's keeping them hidden'.
we want the truth about JFK and we want the truth about Bobby. This was our president and our attorney general. We pay our taxes and we have a right to know. We the People demand these papers be released. A lot of us will be going to our grave without knowing what happened to our dear president and attorney general. God bless all of the Kennedy family and please keep them safe amen
Ethel was of course an unlucky woman, but she knew what she could going to face. She had the privilege to marry such a deep and great man, the best of the Kennedys, The best of the whole XXth Century, and after his death all she could do was wasting his legacy: all of his children, or almost ( what a shame!), hiding what embarrassed her personnally and now trying to keep history apart from the rest of the world, being selfish and in bad faith. I'm not American like you, but I am historian an RFK is my icon and my only faith and regret. Someon, more than one, is insulting and losing all he gave and payed with his life.
We will all go to our graves without knowing for certain what happened in Dallas, Texas on 22 November 1963. I am 65 now soon to be 66, and I used to think this would somehow all come to light. I no longer feel we will ever know for certain. It was designed that way.
RFK had a trajectory unfortunate. Seemed one way, turned out another. Nothing is going to bring him back.
David, that is the tragedy, “ nothing is going to bring him back.”
Leave it alone like Douglas Brinkley points out in the story The historians will get it soon enough
RFK JR.
POTUS 24 & 28❤ BOBBY K.
ALL THE WAY.❤❤
I appreciate Mrs. Kennedy wanting to keep his personal papers private, and it is what it is in terms of the brokered deal she made with government; however, the papers about his role as attorney general belong to the country that paid his salary. I wonder if the kennedys realize that it shows arrogance to think they have more rights to know about what transpired during the Cuba crisis, than the rest of us.
Government is covering his death up and Ethel is getting paid to keep quiet I can bet anything on it
I used to wait on Ethel at Bloomingdales. She was insufferable and bitter. A true snob, not a great woman.
polski1910 I can imagine what people might say about you. Some people just can't suffer fools gladly.
polski1910 You forgot to mention that she was a major league Alchoholic .
As far as "not suffering fools" goes, she met with many of my colleagues of that time (many with masters degrees, like I have now) and they ALL said that she was the most unpleasant woman you would ever want to meet.
polski1910 Are you sure your "colleagues" weren't just trying to be nice to you. Oh god here comes polski1910 going on and on about Ethel Kennedy. I'm sure they suffer fools gladly. DYK our first retarded President has an MBA?
+polski1910 You really learn about people by how they treat servers. It's too bad she's a sorry old hag.

secrets are kept for a reason, never good stuff about the Kennedy's.
+SassyHershsey SassyHershey I'd rather the government release the JFK files they've been holding onto since his assassination. It'd be nice if they told us the truth for once.
Stine Devil Not a chance, another 50 years maybe. They are still holding secrets from the involvement in WW1 and 11.
SassyHershsey SassyHershey really? Do you have any links to what exactly hasn't been released? In my research I've found that even top secret spy files have been released so I'm curious what hasn't been released. JFK files are due to be released next year, and if not, I'm sure many will file a FOIA, if not I know I will.
Stine Devil The Kennedy's made a deal with the Mob to get West Virginia and Chicago votes in 1960, their father warned them to no avail, then they went after the Mob publicly Robert did, so they assassinated his older brother - using a Patsy connected to Cuba and communism, then they made sure he was shot by Jack Rubenstein a low level cancer ridden associate. Case closed. The New Orleans Mob got permission - this was disclosed. End of story. Look it up - all the RFK movie nonsense is just that. Notice the Mob was fine under the next administration and thereafter. The Warren Commission was a "joke" the father said, and Robert Jr.. released this recently. Same deal with Hoffa - he was too public. Why do you think it's called organized crime? Yes I am a retired lawyer from D.C. age 59. I knew the Mob lawyers and they are all dead now. I will not mention their names of course. Russians had nothing at all to do with it. A broken contract with the Mob is not a good idea and they are not retarded like the Gotti stuff pretends.
SassyHershsey SassyHershey I actually didn't ask about that I asked about links for the information from WWI and WWII that you said haven't been released, but ok if you want to talk about this we can. For one it's much bigger than just "oh the mob wants revenge" that's actually just spin to take you off the real truth, which is actually backed by documentation. Sure the Kennedy's had toes to the mob, going back to Giancana and Joseph Kennedy during the prohibition era when they ran bootleggers, but that's not the whole story. Again it's much bigger than that. JFK wanted to begin disarming the Military Industrial Complex because he listened when Eisenhower warned him about how large it could get and the damage it would do. In fact he's the one that coined the term military industrial complex. JFK also wanted to create diplomatic relations with both Cuba and the Soviet Union, as well as dismantle the CIA. When Dulles went behind his back and sent sent in an ops to attack Castro in Cuba, known as the Bay of Pigs, JFK was pissed and fired him. Some say that's when he signed his death warrant because in exile Dulles began creating antiKennedy parties, pretty much like he created AntiCastro groups of fighters, and particularly because the CIA obviously didn't want to be dismantled. To get to my point is that it was an operation set up by the CIA, and the military industrial complex. JFK wanted a race to peace not a race to arms and that's exactly what he said in his speech. It's because after the Bay of Pigs he reached out to Castro, obviously in secret as his own administration was staging a coup against him, and why he was able to avoid a Nuclear War with the Soviet Union, despite again the war pigs wanting an all out war with the Soviets, and brainwashing the public into thinking, Communism = Bad, Capitalism=good, but thankfully for all of us and the entire world, he was able to prevent that. This is why we began a race to the moon instead of a race to build another damn nuclear bomb or weapon. Unfortunately before he could carry all this out, he was assassinated in the most brutal way by E. Howard Hunt, Charles Harelson, (Woody Harrelson's father), and Frank Sturgis. No this case is far from over because the memo Hoover wrote in regards to Kennedy's assassination listed George Bush as the head of the CIA at the time, which was hired by Dulles, and then when Dulles was exiled took over. This actually proves the point that the CIA plotted to kill him, and that LBJ had some insight into this especially since he couldn't send RFK. When RFK began investigating and finding proof, he was also assassinated. Then you have JFK Jr. which many believe was also digging and secretly putting this information into his magazine which interestingly he called George, coincidence? Well I'd like to find out what else is in those reports. In fact when George H.W. Bush was questioned he couldn't say where he was at the time of the assassination and at Ford's funeral, he actually grinned when talking about Oswald as a "deranged gunman who assassinated the president" and many of these war hawks continued to profit from the war machine, and have for over 50 years.
my neighbors. The compound is their family property. stay the fuck away.
Stayed at the Cape. Tourists are awful there! So rude. You're right!
+Fp Maggio LOL
Catholics do not look up to all Kennedys. My family sure does not. This guy is not objective.
Veritas Nunc this one sure does! Anti Catholicism is the last acceptable form of prejudice in the United States. And it’s nice to see some portrayed (even if inaccurately) well.
They don't look up to the kiddi toucher pope either
Neither do Protestants. Heck, many were claiming that JFK would take orders from the Pope.
What files are they and why is she hiding them?? Is it possible that she may know who killed RFK?
yes or JFK and marilyn monroe
We already know who shot RFK. It has always been public knowledge since the day after the shooting. Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan was the gunman. He also injured 5 other people in that shooting.
When the truth comes out, how do we compensate this family ?
It's not your responsibility to
I wonder if this man Brinkley is related to the famous tv journalist? If he is related I’d bet the elder Brinkley is turning in his grave that anyone with the same last name would become a professional propagandist.
No, he isn't.
Well, gayle, for somebody whose father was in the Middle East during this time, it would behoove you...I see the past as well as I can read any person
It will all come out one day and the Kennedy's who are left will be disgraced from there elders who passed
not your business and again not your business. the differences.
I simply don't believe in venerating horrible people.
Like the Donnie tRump cult
It is written as a man Soweth that shall he also reap.
I use to empathize and think highly of JFK and RFK till I learned he authorized assassination attempts on Castro and had Diem of South Vietnam assassinated and rumor has it RFK had Marilyn Monroe killed because she was a liability wanting privileges to see KFK at the White House whenever and the fear she was going public with the affair. Not to mention documented sources of RFK covering up all the affairs that papers were goi g to print by threatening them. And lastly JFK saw civil rights as a nuisance like bad acne popping up in the most inconvenient times right before a hot date. He didn’t want to get involved in fear of loosing the south angering the segregationists in Congress. These brothers were ruthless don’t be deceived.
Groovy Channel!
Bla, bla, just the continuation of the worship. In the old days their family ancestors event pretended to be gods. Now they still want do be worshiped as god like they always have.

Yeah but she's dead now, so.
You know best! Do what you have to. Unfortunately the world (some people) isn't as intelligent (well intentioned) or nice as your husband was; he was an ray of light in the dark shadows if change. Keep the light burning!
Gail...houre the pretiest orangatang I ever seen.
+Sean Patrick I'm sure you're just an adonis aren't you? Not likely because racist pigs are usually the ugliest of the human race.
How does calling someone ugly make them racist? You really should of paid attention the year you went to community college.
Who cares?
You and your pumpkin trolls.
if the files were on the assassination im sure she wouldnt want it fully revealed how bobby was braim dead, not as a result of the shootimg but because he went into cardiac arrest in the ambulance and ethel and the paramedic were too busy fighting to. notice. by the time the doctors at the hospital got a heartbeat it was to late
Scott Aznavourian OMG! Is that true?
Scott Aznavourian He had no chance of survival.
what is your source, who is your source??
Where did you hear that?? I was 17 at the time of Bobby’s assassination, and the paramedics were interviewed on TV. They all said that Ethel sat with Bobby, holding his hand, for the entire ride to the hospital. They also said that Bobby told Ethel that his “head and neck hurt really bad”. Ethel replied that he should not worry because she was with him, and would take care of him. I remember that interview like it was yesterday. Don’t believe and repeat everything you read!
