we did have the no nepotism law passed after jack kennedy appointed bobby kennedy and we had the special prosecutor's establishment because of watergate so we've seen this before with other presidents. it's just with this administration it's getting to a point where you have to stop and say, no, we have got to start to codify some of these -- this behavior and try to put up barriers to prevent things from getting totally out of control. >> so to both of you, first to you, preet, since you're here, that implies that you need support, you need congress to do this and to make new laws. what expectation do you have that particularly in this era, particularly as you've seen a congress very devoted to this president, not standing up to some of the flouting of what you tually do anything at this time or do you have to wait to the end? >> that's the hope. and what you hope is that members of congress care about institutions more than they care about their party. >> but that hasn't been apparent now, has it? >> new things keep happening, new norms keep being broken and sort of in a very dramatic

on the saturday following march 12th bobby kennedy announced he was running for president. and before the end of march the president announced that he was changing his mind. he was not going to be running again. and there was not another primary until april 2nd. that was wisconsin. so new hampshire had several weeks, and there was not an iowa caucus in 1968. it was much later. the iowa caucus where both parties had caucuses didn't begin until '96 -- i mean it's '76 and '72 democrats had a caucus and republicans didn't. and everyone was watching and analyzing what happened in new hampshire. and that's what set the change forever because people were amazed at what happened. they were pleased that the little guy could really change the course of history. no one expected what happened in new hampshire. and it wasn't that, that lyndon johnson didn't get more votes, but 20 of democrats on the democrat side, and everyone thought the democrats were going to be easygoing because they had an incumbent president runnin. h and so that was what was written up until the day of the primar

kennedy, on the firing line, he said why doesn't baloney face the grinder? john: bill as a debater was first-class. we have all said, he was very fair. he let the other point of view view was id and his will give the other fellow enough rope to hang himself. sometimes the other fellow was good enough to hang bill. lose from time to time. that is the risk when you run a fair-minded debate. how do we develop the kind of people, in this different media environment, that are going to be able to take on the other ,ide, give them a fair hearing and then beat the living daylights out of them? that is what bill did. he had personal gifts. we cannot invent people that have those kinds of abilities, but we can create circumstances in which our people develop the abilities and can create circumstances in which they are given a fair hearing to take on the other side. how do we do that? d would'veother ree answered by stating his cardinal rule. you never debate someone you cannot respect. if you're going to debate them, you better respect them. if everyone abided by that

cnn's dana bash recently sat down with kick kennedy, bobby kennedy's granddaughter, and kick interviewed dana about some of her memories covering the kennedy family. take a look. >> thank you, dana, for coming in today. i'm really excited to talk to you. >> my pleasure. it's so nice to meet you. >> so i heard a pretty incredible story, which is that my great grandfather played a role in helping your grandmother emigrate to the u.s. during world war ii. >> mm-hmm. >> how did that happen? >> not just that, kick, your great grandfather saved my grandmother's life. he personally did it. this is the lore of my family. and we went back and looked at some of my grandmother's notes. she was austrian. it was the throes of world war ii. she was jewish. her parents sent her to england to basically be a nanny, to work as a domestic, just to get her out. and while she was there, her parents somehow got to the united states. she was still in england, desperately trying to get a visa to the u.s. my grandmother went to the embassy where your great grandfather was ambassador. she was relentless and the s

bobby kennedy needed a bobby kennedy what bobby was to jack. he never had that. so there were all these people coming at him and actually sounded like the first year of bill clinton's administration where it was mass chaos and yet he did extraordinarily well any way. >> the voice that will grab people is that of richard nixon. when bobby announced for president nixon was in oregon because he was going to be the nominee by then. he had beaten romney basically. and he turned off the tv set and after bobby just announced that march 16th on that saturday. turned off the tv set and kept staring at the blank screen, nixon. he's very weird. he had a weird connection to the american nervous system. he knew the american people better than anybody. and he said, forces will be unleashed what we cannot imagine. we do not know where this is going to end. he sensed that weird electricity the kennedys created, positively and negatively. people get a little weirdly wired when they get out there, the kennedys. maybe he saw it coming because he said so. >> wow. >> all right. >> it

anyway, he was very close to the kennedys, very, very close and had bobby not died, there was a good chance bill would have been in his administration. the couple little stories. i managed to have dinner with paul newman. i was all of 27. i called david -- i was in hanover with my then two children and i said, what are you doing? and he said, well, i'm in manchester, i'm going to have dinner with paul newman tonight. i said, excuse me? got a baby sitter, and i went down there. paul newman was an exceptional person. he would not sign autographs. he said, i'm not here for paul newman, i'm here for gene mccarthy. we sent him ice skating up in new hampshire. he campaigned. he was fabulous, and he knew the issues. we also had tony randall. i went to a coffee, i took tony randall to a coffee in keen. he couldn't answer any of the questions. he was always signing his own autographs. so i went home and i said, david, you got to get to the campaign. we've got to pull him. so we pulled him, told him his schedule was over, and brought paul newman back in. but it was just the difference in appro

moyers was in bobby kennedy's camp. conversation reflects a desire on the part of to cast moyers as the good angel and the white house who ultimately had to leave because he was cast aside. that vastly overplays it. the book is not about vietnam. the idea that he left in protest because of vietnam was manufactured by a lot of the kennedy partisans. brian: your personal view on this. you have spent a lot of time with these people. you think you would not like working with -- who do you think you would not like working with? joshua: there is a guy we have not talked about, george reidy. brian: hold it right there. i have some video of george reidy. this was done in 1996. he is no longer with us. >> when it comes to , johnson was positively chaotic. he never really quite knew who was running things. quite often, you had to step in because nobody else was going to step in and somebody had to do something. joshua: he had been a longtime aide in the senate. presidential staff, he was press secretary for a while before he got
