so he starts out as the ultimate cold warrior much like his dad joe kennedy was. i want to take you from that year 1957 to a moment that i think was if bobby kennedy had any single epiphany moment in his life, that was in november of 1963. bobby kennedy on a november day in 1963, he had come home from work at the just department with a couple of aides. and he had had a swim at his pool at the estate in hickory hill just outside of washington in plain, virginia, and he was settling back to have a great lunch and eventually to go back to work. at that moment when he just started eating lunch, the phone rings and it is the hot line to the white house. and by the way, there were more hot lines to the white house in his estate in hickory hill than there were in the vice president's residence back then, which was a huge bone of contention for lyndon johnson. but anytime that phone rang it was generally not good news. and it was not good news when the guy on the other end of the line the way it was that day was one of the people bobby kennedy most hated in the world, an

bobby kennedy did just what he had done with joe, with jack kennedy's advice in 1957, when jack kennedy told him to not go to the funeral. he said thank you, that's great advice and he proceeded to go off to the rally he had planned to go to all along. he ends up having his police escort peel off just before he gets to the ghetto. and he stands up on the back of a flat-bed truck. and for the next five minutes he gives one of the great speeches, maybe the greatest speech of his life and one of the great speeches in the history of american political oratory. he is telling the audience that night several hundred people, he is telling 90% of them for the first time. that their slain leader has been killed. that martin luther king is gone. you can hear, if you listen on youtube, to the speech from that night, you can hear gasps from the audience. that people are devastated. but he proceeds for the first time in his life to talk about what it was like to lose his own brother. and the anger that he had felt when jack kennedy had been killed. he said our temptation is to want to strike out when

( laughter ) okay, before we get into anything else, i want to talk to you about your grandfather, bobby kennedy for a moment, because last month was the 50th anniversary of his assassination which i remember as a child, one of the first memories i have is the slow train with your grandfather's casket on it. i guess the question is all we americans feel like we have some ownership and relationship to your family. we have our own stories about your grandfather. but what stories do y'all tell in the family? what are the things that you choose to remember, the stori

congressman joe kennedy, this guy is going to be a star. i mean, he is going to be a president, vice president or a lead in congress one of these days. but he's still relatively calm he still fairly young and has a very young family and so i do know he's ready to move, ready personally to move up. the groundswell for democrats change it's getting pretty loud and again i don't say that as a criticism of her. it's just a reflection of the bible picking up when we talk to and the candidates trim we welcome our c-span radio audience. our guess is charlie cook -- >> we are going to leave this and take your life back to the senate working on a package of spending bills, five including the department of treasury, and transportation and housing and urban development. tax assistance program better known as vita by $5,000,000 for the next fiscal year. building upon the success of the tax cut and jobs act, it's important that we take additional steps to ensure that neva f

become out about senator kennedy, got ton know senator kennedy's grandson, joe kennedy, member of the house here, and this is really something i'm looking forward to. i have another book here, says "1587: a year of significance." a become recommend i by secretary mattis, bout the ming dynasty in china and he says if you want to understand -- modern china you need to understand china. and this is how to look interest the mindset about the contemporary middle east and what is happening in islam. this book is something was recommended to me, called "immersions" a book about science, called "the skins and moist of fresh water mussels." and we have the largest amount of mussels in alabama. and this is one you can throw like a rock and hurt somebody. the definancetive book about cuba, just called "cuba" and the author is hugh thomas. and then my final one is a book i have been trying to read for some time now, book called "the innovators" bout -- about the people that came if with all the ideas in the tech world. don't read fix. read nonfiction, and some is eclectic but usually related to t

engel: i'd like to begin by thanking representatives ted poe and joe kennedy for their hard work on this legislation. this legislation seeks to enhance the health, safety, and security of peace corps volunteers. of course, many of us served with many of the people who went on to become congress when they were first in the peace corps as well and sam farr was one of those people. i listened to many stories that sam farr told about the peace corps. the bill is named in honor of two past peace corps volunteers, again, congressman sam farr, who served in colombia. and i traveled with sam to colombia and his spanish was impeccable. he was a tireless champion of the peace corps during his service in the house. the bill is named for nick castle, a young volunteer whose passionate about life and about helping other people. in 2013 while on assignment in rural china, nick fell ill and didn't receive the medical care he needed and tragically died. a young man in his 20's. this legislation before us today would strengthen existing health and safety standards for our peace corps volunteers and would

speaker, i had an opportunity to work with congressman joe kennedy to help develop this legislation, and this is a solution to help bring the united states government into the 21st century or perhaps the 20th century. it simply does the same thing that private companies have figured out how to do for decades now, where we can access our banks online, we can access our insurance online, we can go online to buy groceries and virtually any other good or service that we need. we can even file our own taxes with the federal government. yet, the privacy act of 1974, as it's implemented today, requires in order for us to provide service to our constituents, which may be an emergency situation, they have to print out a form and mail it in. then we have to take it and mail it to an agency. that is ridiculous in 2018. and it's unacceptable. so this legislation, bipartisan legislation addresses that. it allows for people to access their own government, access government services to address important things like perhaps accessing their v.a. benefits, like perhaps fixing a wrong that the i.r.s. c

i'm going to yield now to my friend and colleague, representative joe kennedy from massachusetts, who is not only a distinguished champion of the rights of women and foe of domestic violence, but he's a former prosecutor who spent a lot of time in massachusetts prosecuting domestic violence cases. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. ken ken thank you, mr. speaker. i -- mr. kennedy: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank my colleague, mr. raskin, for the kind words, for his leadership on this bill and the legislation, bringing it to this point, and for all of his efforts combating domestic violence as well. i also want to thank my colleagues, in particular congressman young, congresswoman mcmorris rodgers, the republican caucus chair, congresswoman gabbard, congresswoman brooks, as well as chairman goodlatte for his leadership in making sure that this bill comes to the floor today. as well as senator sullivan from alaska, who has been the original author of this legislation, that's been working with me on the this -- on this for the past several ye

this is what congressman joe kennedy said. that trump's translator should come before congress and testify has to what was said privately immediately. congressman, thank you for being with us. how would this work? >> the first thing that would happen, is the would should tell the american public what was said. at the moment, the only information we have is coming from the russian government that released information late last night saying we're ready to act on the agenda put forth in that meeting that the american public still knows nothing about. we need to understand what happened in that meeting, and i'm not so sure i trust, given his actions in the past 36 hours, exactly what he is going to say. >> we asked the administration to tell us what the alleged agreements were, and we have received no answers. >> so we're dependent on the readout from the russian government to set the agenda for the private meeting for almost two hours between vladimir putin and the president of the united states. so what i'm asking is just that t

congressman joe kennedy, this guy will be a star. he is going to be a president, vice president, or leader in congress one of these days. he is still fairly young and has a very young family, so i don't know that he is ready personally to move up. 'he ground swell for democrats change, it is getting pretty loud. i do not say that as a criticism of her, more just provide we are -- just the vibe we are picking up. host: our guest is charlie cook and our next caller is steve from marina del rey, california, republican. caller: i agree with the guest that we will know very quickly if the democrats will take control of the house, the cause the competitive races that you have. in new jersey, for example, the weber race, the vance race, it looks like the jurors -- new jersey can go the same way as massachusetts where you may have one or two republicans from new jersey. mcarthur and smith will probably survive. guest: you know a lot about congressional races from the other coast. republicans have done really well in new jersey in recent year

senator joe kennedy is on that committee and he says they want to see an impartial judge, not an activist. >> if you feel strongly that a political position should he advanced in your own accord you are probably in the wrong for them. you need to run for congress because the role of the judiciary is very carefully subscribed in our constitution by the congress and the president. >> after the announcement we can expect on capitol hill maybe some of those senators. this could be a quick process. when the party at the white house and the senate it takes on average 66 days we are seeing now. for instance when the democrats had the senate and the presidency just as sotomayor took 66 days of last six days a last year judge gorsuch's also 66 days from nomination to confirmation. liz: thank you great reporting. president trump as you just heard has his pick in mine. let's listen to the president talking about his supreme court selection process. >> i believe this person will do a great job that i'm very close to making a decision. i have not made it official yet obviously. we are very close to ma

here is democratic congressman joe kennedy earlier today. >> look, every politician, ever person that speaks, that's fine. the rest of the tenor of that news conference with vladimir putin, there is no doubt about what he thought. his walk back yesterday, he wants back the walk back in the next sentence. this is a horrible thing to say the president of the united states have no credibility when it comes to this issue. >> but president trump again defending himself on twitter posting, while the nato meeting in brussels was an acknowledged triumph with billions of dollar more being put up by member countries, at a faster pace, th meeting with russia may prove t be in the long run an even greater success. many positive things will come out of that meeting. does this help at all in the slightest? >> not really. i want to walk back his walk back for a second. i think one of the things we have to pay attention to is tha we keep calling it meddling, bu this was an attack on our democracy by foreign adversary. the idea that the president of the united states would respond to that first by pra

senator sheehan in the senate, congressman joe kennedy in the house agree with me. others have agreed with me. and i think if you get republicans one-on-one, many of them would agree also. we need to know what those agreements were that we learned about generally from mr. putin. >> would you leave open the possibility that there were no agreements that were reached and that is just putin being putin and russia lying? >> well, there has been a lot of lying going on in the last serve days to the american people eventually. and we need a reckoning here. we cannot have a fall back after every time we disclose what really happened or we were misunderstood. sometimes we use the wrong words. this is not the case in this situation. we knew what to sxenkts. a expect. and that is why i began to read into the record on thursday night of last week what the dossier actually did say. 84% of which has been proven credible. i think that steele dossier is very pertinent to not only mueller's investigation, but what we're doing this week. can i mention one other thing when i was in b

democratic congressman joe kennedy this morning on "new day" talked about his desire to have the u.s. translator, for example, potentially subpoenaed in front of congress to talk about that. would you be supportive of that? >> i would love to know what happened. and i would love to get that information however we could. i think that my republican colleagues should join me and should join all of us who are clearly following up on the president's own statements from four months ago that he wants to testify under oath before robert mueller. instead of relying on the translator, i think we should give the president that opportunity. he should come to mueller. he should raise his right hand and then tell the truth about what he said in that meeting, about how it impacted our national security, about whose side he is on, and let him try to justify that horrifying and alarming display that we saw just the other day, one that we'll be talking about for decades to come. >> it is very clear -- correct me if i'm wrong -- you are very concerned about russia attack on our democracy and interfering

i had gotten to know his grandson, joe kennedy, a member of the house here. this is something i'm looking forward to. i have another book. a87, a year of significance, book recommended by secretary mattis, about the ming dynasty in china. he says, if you want to understand modern-day china, you have to understand the ming dynasty. this book is on the temptations of power, another way to look into the mindset of what's happening in contemporary middle east and islam worldwide. this was recommended to me, different from the reading i mersions,", called "im the science and mystery of freshwater mussels. we have the largest biodiversity of freshwater mussels in the world in my district of southwest alabama. this thing, that you could throw like a rock and hurt some buddy with, is supposed to be the definitive book about cuba, just called "cuba." the author is hugh thomas. this edition has been updated. my final one, a book i have been trying to read for some time now, a book by walter isaacson, "the innovators," about the people who have come up with the great id

kennedy: if you're joe manchin, joe donnelly, heidi heitkamp, how do you vote? do you vote with your party, or do you vote with someone that voters in your state approve of? >> i think it all depends on how lisa murkowski or susan collins falls. they vote for this justice knowing his record on choice, knowing -- kennedy: what is his record on choice? >> well, there was a case in texas regarding a minor who wanted an abortion, and he ruled against her -- kennedy: he actually didn't go as far right as social conservatives -- >> yeah, but it was far enough, and the question is it far enough for lisa murkowski or susan collins to vote against him. ing that's really the question. i think based on that and also will he go after, if the case comes in front of him -- kennedy: what's more important for democrats, thwarting in this nomination -- >> no, no, no, this idea of thwarting the nomination -- kennedy: or having people reelected in critical red state where is the president -- what's more important? please answer the question. >> no, i'm going to answer your questio

hooveris another and we are going to have to us are in a friend when roosevelt or joe kennedy. host: talking about future election and those who might be interested in running for the office of the president. they focus on senator kamala harris and others come a democrat from california, saying she does not face senate hasection until 2022 but become one of the most aggressive online fundraisers this year after spending 1.1 million on new advertising since the start of 2017. in the second quarter of this year she reported raising $926,000 in contributions under $200. say she is expanded turkey melt lists to almost one million after a 2016 election in which she relied on more traditional fundraising. elizabeth warren of massachusetts has paid more than $1.5 million to a web advertising consultant to raise -- and raised $1.2 million in the second quarter from donations less than $200. more and is running for reelection and is widely favored to win that race easily, allowing her to accumulate money, she dashed and transition to a presidential campaign next year. bernie sanders has

congressman joe kennedy, this guy will be a star. he is going to be a president, vice president, or leader in congress one of these days. he is still fairly young and has a very young family, so i don't know that he is ready personally to move up. 'he ground swell for democrats change, it is getting pretty loud. i do not say that as a criticism of her, more just provide we are -- just the vibe we are picking up. host: our guest is charlie cook and our next caller is steve from marina del rey, california, republican. caller: i agree with the guest that we will know very quickly if the democrats will take control of the house, the cause the competitive races that you have. in new jersey, for example, the weber race, the vance race, it looks like the jurors -- new jersey can go the same way as massachusetts where you may have one or two republicans from new jersey. mcarthur and smith will probably survive. guest: you know a lot about congressional races from the other coast. republicans have done really well in new jersey in recent year

like chairman ted kennedy, joe biden, and orrin hatch, i will hold hearings for circuit court nominees with negative or unreported blue slips if the white house consulted with home state senators. and i won't allow senators to abuse the blue-slip courtesy for political or ideological reasons. in the case of mr. bounds, the white house sought the oregon senator's input, seriously considered the one candidate suggested by the oregon senators and waited several months for the senators from oregon to establish their judicial selection committee, which is quite a tradition in that state. the selection committee itself even recommended mr. bounds. yet, the oregon senators still didn't return their blue slips. they say it was because mr. bounds didn't disclose some of his college writings through the selection committee. there's a very good reason he didn't. the selection committee never asked for his college writings. in fact, senator wyden's staff instructed mr. bounds not to disclose them. moreover, the oregon senators refused to ever meet with mr. bounds during this whole process. it's be

that changed when kennedy became the nominee. and with joe biden you write the following, obama clearly had the upper hand in their relationship. accordingg to ron klain, his perspective was simple if not condescending. this is my house, thesehi are my things. i'm interested in your views, joe, i want you to be happy here, but you are a guest in my house. >> guest: i love that you're a. best in myt house, because that really sums up the vice presidency so well. they are completely at the service of the president. and i think you see that now, of course, with mike pence and donald trump. but you did even see it with joe biden and barack obama. and when i was a white house reporter at bloomberg news, i never got the sense that there was any tension there. so that's what i thought was so fascinating doing this reporting, and i interviewed vice president biden about it. it wasn't love at first sight for joe biden and barack obama. si did take time for them to build trust. but, of course, by the end of those eight years, they did some

hearings for robert bork, anthony kennedy, david suitor, and justice thomas. "the new york times," mr. peck, reminds us that washington is no stranger to bitter and divisive judicial confirmation fights but the coming battle is likely to be intense and expensive. i wanted to ask you about money. how much does this cost, and how is it covered? >> well, i think it's going to be an expensive, expensive campaign in terms of outside groups. on the right, spending money to pressure senate democrats and moderate republicans. on the left, certainly, trying to flag and highlight key issues. so, how much total is going to be spent? i don't quite know but i'm guessing this nomination, in terms of outside group spending, will exceed prior nominations. >> how about the committee itself? it's currently structured in a certain way, but when one of these comes along, how does the work of the committee change? you mentioned the number of pages they have to read, but explain how that works. >> sure. well, the committee will -- on the republican side, led by chuck grassley, on t

. >> 30 weeks later, after "columbia" had been returned to the kennedy space center, astronauts joe engle and dick truly flew "columbia" into space again. >> space shuttle was like a large truck that could deploy satellites, and it had a robotic arm so that you can repair and upgrade spacecraft. >> and liftoff of the orbiter "challenger" and the sixth flight of the space shuttle. >> this was the birth of space travel, not just space missions. we're talking about setting a laboratory. almost like a university in space. it started feeling like anybody could be an astronaut. >> the countdown is under way tonight at cape canaveral toward sunday's scheduled launch of the shuttle "challenger," a liftoff that will carry america's first teacher into space. >> still doesn't seem real that i'm going to be able to go with these guys. i'm excited. >> the ice is cleared away, and "challenger" should be going away very soon. let's go down to the kennedy space center and take a look at "challenger" sitting on the pad as they continue the countdown. >> the "challenger" flight in january of '86 was the 25

kennedy as a senator and joe mccarthy and putting them in the book. having them be characters. >> seth: and have you gotten good feedback from people who, obviously, still live in that world today? >> there's this one republican congressional aide who reached out to me and said that it seemed like i was trying to get some things off my chest. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah. >> which i thought was funny because -- 'cause there is a lot of -- you know, they say history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. and when you read about joe mccarthy and you study about joe mccarthy, there's a lot of rhyming. >> seth: yes. >> you hear a lot of rhyming. this guy who was larger than life and very popular with the base of his party and smeared a lot of people and lied all the time, and washington just didn't know what to do and reporters and members of the senate didn't know what to do. >> seth: and we also look back, i think, there's a tendency to look back on the '50s as, like, this really "apple pie" era -- >> yeah. >> seth: of america. but, there was -- not maybe

biden, joe lieberman. they are awltd all crusty old men. joe lieberman and crowley, they look like sore losers. i think it's a mistake and i think republicans can take advantage of it. kennedy: they can if they are smart. >> they are not. >> not to insult just her. but i think you have a lot of people running around who just want to get elected. >> i think not knowing some things is the future. donald trump tends to not know some things but he can make up an answer. a cool thing when i first saw jesse ventura. when they asked him something out of minnesota and out of his reach, he said i don't know, but i am going to work on it. you are not briefed into the swamp. kennedy: gary johnson, not necessarily with aleppo. that completely derailed his career. libertarians could have gone the way more votes if he wasn't seen as being completely incompetent. >> it's nice to have someone new on the other side. a young, fresh face it's' similar to "saturday night live." at the end of the day it wants the way to go but

president trump said he wants to take on former veep, joe biden. president trump: he ran three times. he never got more than 1%. and president obama took him out of the garbage heap and everybody was shocked. i would love it to be biden. kennedy: bind said if he were in high school with the president he would take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. trump tweeted he would go down fast crying all the way. >> that's hilarious. but i think bind is a relatively viable candidate. kennedy: i do, too. >> that's why the president is attacking him. if he wasn't, he wouldn't even acknowledge it. kennedy: is he trying to keep him out of the race? >> i think so. >> i think that the presidential race is going to have to get a lot dirtier. democrats are talking about that, we are not winning with the civility argument. we hear that all the time. kennedy: when they go low, we go high. kennedy: maxine waters the queen of civility. start a riot. gather a mob. impeach. >> i am concerned that biden actually offers something that's are being proposed for

. >> dave, you think about the democrat senators like joe man chan and joe donly but the president says he's not likely going to ask how they would rule on row v wade but overall consider their credentials. in 1987 when anthony kennedy was confirmed 90-0 that's not going to be the case this go around. >> who are the names reportedly on the president's short list. >> on the short list we expect brett kav gnaw and amy barrett, she's certainly been a name that's touted a lot in this town. we also have thomas hardiman on the short list and don't forget mike lee of utah, maybe that's one cht one thing for sure that you will not see is merrick garland, was oehme's nominee that mitch mcconnell didn't bring so that's why democrats are opposed to any nominee. >>> over the weekend president trump made an imprompt thank you promptu wedding in marijuana marijuana. he was at trump national golf course in new jersey, popped in on this young couple's wedding reception. the president congratulated the bride and grood and greeted the guests and posted for pictures. he popped in at another wedding held a

joe immediately sauce and became extremely interested in me. he of course wanted to talk to kennedy. it had nothing to do with me. i don't know how many years was senator, he came to sacramento. there were about 30 people meeting, including my husband heard my husband said to me, do you want to go? i said, of course. we were at the airport and kennedy got off the plane. me, i was remembered at queen elizabeth's coronation ball. extraordinary memory. i had a different name. i was not grace kennan. the wife of someone in sacramento, you know. brian: your father died at 101 in 2005. if you read this book, what would he say? ms. kennan warnecke: i would not have written a book if he was still alive. brian: why not? ms. kennan warnecke: i was quite hard on my mother. i would not have wanted to hurt her that way. she died in 2008. brian: what kind of relationship did you have with her at that point? ms. kennan warnecke: she loved me and i loved her. we made up. thrilledshe was so when i would come out to princeton. she had dementia, so for the last e

haidi: it has been two weeks since justice kennedy announced his retirement. how quickly does a new justice come into that role? joe: the white house and republicans in the senate are moving towards hitting a confirmation, getting the just openingn time for the of the neil gorsuch and of the first monday of october. democrats are going to do all they can to throw up some roadblocks in that, but they do not have a lot of leverage to either delay or block trump's nomination. ,hey just do not have the vote so there is no filibuster for them to block the nomination. much of it will depend on which justice, which nominee is it, because the length of the judge's record will of course influence how much research has to be gone and how long people can spend time questioning decisions or other past actions or writings on the court. indi: joe washington. a long day ahead for you. couple hours away from that announcement. we will have special coverage on bloomberg tv. coming up next, more on the u.s.-china trade wars. roger baker tells us how businesses are already getti
