He was going to empower the justice department to re-investigate the TRUE reason and purpose of his brother's assassination and to indict arrest the conspirators of the assassination...This why he was assassinated before he was able to win the presidency in 1968...
When RFK mentions JFK's quote: "That's the way wars are, it's just the best men that get killed," I could tell how choked up he was saying that. I imagine that RFK and his brother both thought of their brother Joe in saying that.
For everyone who commented here... google RFK 1964 Democratic Convention. He was introduced to make some comments about JFK at what would have been his nominating convention for a second term. The footage from the standing ovation will stun you all. it lasted over 20 minutes.
I've been on the lookout for the entirety of this interview for years now. What a treasure! Bless you forever, Bobby. Of Joe's boys, you were the best equipped for the job of President! Generations of Americans have suffered from you being taken from us. Curse those bastards who had it out for you!
Took both of them. I just watched Timequest. A b movie about a guy who traveled back in time to stop the assassination of JFK. Was awesome. Changed everything. JFK served two terms, Bobby was President in the 70s with MLK Jr as his VP.
I think a lot of the young people who would have voted felt betrayed and disenfranchised when John was killed in 1963. They felt all the more disenchanted when Robert was shot and killed. It must have seemed as if the two people they admired the most were taken away from them.
Hence, the dems ran out of good men to fill the Job. The republicans chose Nixon and we all know where that ended up. Yup the world changed in the 60's , people that were not there would never believe what the country was going through. The song Abraham, Martin and John. Pretty much says it was a sad time for America.
Imagine LBJ’s reaction to the reception Kennedy received on Jack’s show. Already deeply paranoid over Bobby’s ambition and filled with hate for him personally, Johnson must have been enraged by this appearance.
I have read many books on RFK and this is one of my favorite stories. One of his aides talked about how Bobby always had to ask him for money for whatever-newspapers,crackers,soda... He said guy was loaded with money but never carried any with him. He said it was adding up to a lot of money. Finally it came to a head. At a church service. The offering plate was going down the pews. The aide said he saw Bobby sqirming and he knew what was coming. Finally Bobby asked his aide for some money and he slipped him a few bucks. With a nudge, Bobby said,"don't you think I should Give More?" Smiling the aide coughed up the money-He was a beautiful person.
The JFK library ultimately did not get constructed at the original site in Cambridge mentioned by his brother here. Soil conditions and also steep local protest against the construction and subsequent influx of tourists led to the Cambridge site proposal being abandoned. It was ultimately constructed on Columbia Point in the Dorchester neighborhood, opening finally in 1977.
While not knowing how long after the assassination was this episode filmed, I could see how Jack Paar was trying to keep the interview light hearted but it had to be excruciating for RFK who was still in mourning.
Yes indeed he certainly seems to still be in mourning for his brother. But what a quiet, gentle and so very intelligent man he was. Such a huge tragedy he never got to be President. How times have changed since those days! RIP Jack and Bobby.
His voice was Shakey. The pain & sadness was written all over his eyes. It must have been hard looking at every one not knowing whose really for u & not against u. U stop to trust and become cold and distant
This is so great - but that opening minute or so (as an archivist) is really depressing, considering that all of Jack Paar's videotapes, including this one, were taped over. (If I'm wrong about that, and only a kine is available to put on RUclips, let me know). And this show as in color! 😪
Our Irish 💚 clans may have been close ...many years ago ...his eyebrows very similar to my families ...there's two things coming from each eye 👁 ...if you observe humans eyes ...something different coming from each eye 👁 👀
JFK sure had the wit! He was Young , and marvelous! Also not afraid of aggressors! Yes he was a Democrat. He also cut taxes(not a democrat thing) always open for a discussion. Sadly those discussions would end! The world lost a Good Guy, a Good Father and Husband. The world lost!
What a nice interview, nearly 40 years ago I read a book "Robert Kennedy, his life and times" ( not sure if that's the exact title).there was a chapter mentioning his trip to South Africa in 1966, maybe to find out more about the Apartheid system at that time, think he really connected with people so well, maybe even more so than his brother. When campaigning in California in '68, he met with huge enthusiastic crowds of more diversity, Black, Brown, etc. Think RFK was more sensitive to Civil & Human Rights than was John, although while he was president, he was trying to set the wheels in motion more towards that issue and more ( like a supposed plan to withdraw completely from Vietnam by the end of 1965)
I think the assassination of RFK was the single most history-changing assassination in our country's history. One can hear the sorrow in his voice throughtout.
He was very sad, I'm sure. The men on this planet who had President Kennedy murdered were Luciferians. They hated Mr. Kennedy. They have no compassion. They have nothing but hatred and iniquity in their hearts, and the absolute thirst for absolute power. They have no love in their hearts. None. They do not know love for they do not know God, for God is Love.
I feel like Sirhan should be let go and placed on temporary house arrest while undergoing therapy. NOBODY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASK HIM ABOUT WHAT HE REMEMBERS AND HE SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE.
I don’t know about JFK jr. I wouldn’t rule it out but was he even into politics? As far as I know he wasn’t, so he wasn’t a risk to the powerful people that Bobby and Jack were.: the CIA, the mob, the DoD. It’s amazing that people who say Oswald couldn’t have been the lone gunman are considered conspiracy nuts when the evidence is so overwhelming. The Zapruder film for one. The fact that a Congressional committee that investigated the assassinations concluded that Oswald couldn’t have been the only shooter. The many, many mysterious deaths of witnesses, the assassination of Oswald because a 2 bit mobster and strip club owner supposedly felt sorry for Jackie. It’s insane people can’t see the truth right in front of them.
@@michaeldebellis4202 I do believe Oswald wasn't the only shooter, there had to be more. How can 1 person have done that? Plus I hear JFK Jr wanted to go into the Senate in 2000 but he was against one of the deep state politicians (Hillary Clinton), and so they had to get rid of him. And judging by his George Magazine he was pretty into politics. No one is dumb enough to fly with a barely healed ankle and without his instructor. Also, there was a video that showed RFK interrogating LBJ on it, and let's say it was pretty obvious he was hiding something.
BRIEF BLOG 5/6/2024: I HAVE SEEN THIS RUclips VIDEO MANY TIMES & WHILE UNIQUE FOR THE HISTORICAL AUDIO/VIDEO RECORD, IT'S UNDERSTANDABLY HEARTBRAKING TO WATCH & YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN/SORROW IN THE LATE FORMER US ATTORNEY GENERAL'S EYES & FACE. IT'S NATURAL OF COURSE YET HIS VIDEO GIVES GREAT CREEDENCE TO CALLING RFK "DEAD MAN WALKING," AT THIS TIME OF HIS LIFE. EVENTUALLY HE SORT OF RECOVERED FROM HIS SORROW ALTHOUGH IT WAS ALWAYS W/HIM UP TO HIS ASSASSINATION IN JUNE 1968, 5 YEARS LATER AT THE HANDS OF SIRHAN SIRHAN.
Thank you for this video! For those of us who lived through those times it brings back so much as though it was yesterday , living on the Cape and seeing them at church... It was a wonderful happy time...and then horrible unbelievable pain and sadness.
_"In order to make government and the country better, people have to participate in politics..."_ 4:09 Bobby is correct. It's a solution MUCH different from those that encourage people to "hate Gubment".
Major Anderson's jet is at Falls Park in Greenville, SC. I have seen it there many times but didn't until just now watching this know what he had died doing.
Yup, McCarthyism was a few short years before, Cold War still in full force as far as the military was concerned but a US Marine returns from "defecting to the sworn enemy", to spend exactly Zero minutes behind bars. "What a shot" though, one missed completely, one created 7 wounds and one made JFK's head move the wrong way.
After RFK won the California democratic presidential primary in June 1968, he went to the kitchen of the hotel of his campaign headquarters and was ASSASSINATED.
I don't understand why it took so long for the JFK library to be built. Most presidential libraries are constructed within 4to 5 years after the president leaves office. Kennedy's wasn't finished until 1979
When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the abyss will wage war against them and conquer them and kill them. Their corpses will lie in the main street of the great city, which has the symbolic names “Sodom” and “Egypt,” where indeed their Lord was crucified. Those from every people, tribe, tongue, and nation will gaze on their corpses for three and a half days, and they will not allow their corpses to be buried. The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and be glad and exchange gifts because these two prophets tormented the inhabitants of the earth. But after the three and a half days, a breath of life from God entered them. When they stood on their feet, great fear fell on those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven say to them, “Come up here.” So they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies looked on. - Rv 11:7-13
The first host of The Tonight Show was Steve Allen; 2nd was Jack Parr; 3rd Johnny Carson; 4th Jay Leno; 5th the guy who went to TBS; 6th Jay Leno again; 7th Jimmy Fallon.
Does the video title read "the Tonight Show"? It does not. Is your Google broken? Mine is not. I searched his name and... Nevermind, you do it, for "practice".
It is a prime time, weekly Friday night show that Jack Paar did from 1962 to 1965 to fulfill his contractual obligations to NBC after he left The Tonight Show.
Think of the introduction - and then think of the concept of burning books. Weird, huh?
I’ve always been against burning books and censorship of any kind. History should be preserved, not erased.
He was going to empower the justice department to re-investigate the TRUE reason and purpose of his brother's assassination and to indict arrest the conspirators of the assassination...This why he was assassinated before he was able to win the presidency in 1968...
And how certain people in gvt now worked with social media cos to silence ppl on Twitter, FaceBook. etc.
I love this memories of rfk and jfk
@@Terry-te1ij What does that have to do with a library ?
When RFK mentions JFK's quote: "That's the way wars are, it's just the best men that get killed," I could tell how choked up he was saying that. I imagine that RFK and his brother both thought of their brother Joe in saying that.
I thought similarly. RFK would have been in his teens.

7:50 You can see Bobby's face change as the reality of his loss hits him yet again. It had only been a year since JFK's passing.
RIP JFK MLK and RFK.
This is an incredible interview with a tinge of sadness hanging over it Bobby's doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances
Yes, it HANGS above his head like a rain cloud.
The last person I really believed in. I would have loved it if he won the presidential election, and served two terms. Rest In Peace, Bobby
do you remember where you were when you heard of his assassination?
Peace and courage were the most powerful qualities he and his brother exuded and what they worked for the hardest.
I have read many books on RFK and this is one of my favorite stories. One of his aides talked about how Bobby always had to ask him for money for whatever-newspapers,crackers,soda...

7:23, I was not born during this era, but everything I have watched on Robert Kennedy has me believing he would have been a great President.
I think he was a great man with big heart and good soul.
All people should vote for his son RFK jr.!!
My comment was about Robert Kennedy the father. RFK Jr. should not be challenging President Biden who has been an excellent President.
Biden keeps a bust of RFK in the Oval Office. He is a good man, Biden is @@tony84.
Anyone else shed a tear on that ovation. The country loved JFK.
You should see the 1964 DNC then
THUNDEROUS and relentless applause, says it all !
the country sensed something evil happened and they took away our leader
Our late Beloved President John F. Kennedy inspired us to service and make a contribution to our wonderful country.
Jack Paar was an excellent interviewer.
Thank you for uploading!
While not knowing how long after the assassination was this episode filmed, I could see how Jack Paar was trying to keep the interview light hearted but it had to be excruciating for RFK who was still in mourning.
March 13, 1964.
Yes indeed he certainly seems to still be in mourning for his brother.
But what a quiet, gentle and so very intelligent man he was.
Such a huge tragedy he never got to be President.
How times have changed since those days!
RIP Jack and Bobby.
Looks like four months later.
He could just force a smile
His voice was Shakey. The pain & sadness was written all over his eyes. It must have been hard looking at every one not knowing whose really for u & not against u. U stop to trust and become cold and distant
He looks so frail. Some say he and his brother-in-law Peter Lawford helped kill Marilyn Monroe. I hope that is not true.
I read he took his brother's death the hardest. And having to speak openly here, and in front of a huge audience of people, was surely tough.
@@Terry-te1ij no there is evidence that it was her doctor
🗽Long live Joe, Jack & Bobby 🇺🇸
Amen 🙏🏽
Teddy, too. They all did good for their fellow man.
Amen 🙏
RFK felt somewhat responsible for his brother’s death. Read Chris Matthew’s excellent book on RFK.

Rfk looked sad. He regrouped and was running for president , the assassination team was called back for another job. Sadly.
He was very sad, I'm sure. The men on this planet who had President Kennedy murdered were Luciferians. They hated Mr. Kennedy. They have no compassion. They have nothing but hatred and iniquity in their hearts, and the absolute thirst for absolute power. They have no love in their hearts. None.

Both of them, those brothers, a staggering loss, does not begin to describe it. All that should, could, and would have been.

How very different and far to the left the Dems have moved. Very, very sad and scary.
Same can be said of the Repubs - to the right, no? Do you remember when there were Liberal and Conservative Republicans? What happened to that?
