when the kennedys found out there were missiles in cuba, one crossedirst things that bobby kennedy's mind was he had been played by bolshakov. kennedyse crisis, the sent intermediaries to meet with kov to use as a that channel to these soviet leadership. president warren rogers, a great president and a beloved person in the press club said -- there's a longer story in the book about it, but to cut two most interesting episode, he had after kennedytly got on television and very dramatically announced the rigby and american quarantine around cuba to prevent them shipping more missiles around there, the united states was going to mass troops for a possible invasion of cuba. so he was invited to come along with, what we would call today and embedded reporter. , the bureauis boss chief to the bar and told him to come along and asked him to give $400 as an advance. what they did not realize was their conversation was overheard by the bartender who was a russian from latvia. task hours later, a reporter, a kgb officer, came up hethe press club bar, and told him about this conversation. nobo

bobby kennedy was the attorney general. the kennedy cabinet, trying to untangle the vietnam legacy particularly weighs heavily on that. eisenhower had a solid functional cabinet. they had good people. a no drama type of approach. eisenhower's popularity, 64% of the presidency. intellectuals didn't respect them, he loved to golf and cook steaks, and very deeply, time magazine had a poll in 1959. the man of the decade. eisenhower was respected and revered by the people but less so by the intellectual class. he pretended didn't bother him but it did. >> if kennedy didn't have more respect. >> the question was on kennedy's respect for eisenhower as a military leader. i haven't been in the military but there is always a sense as a junior officer that the guys on top are no less than they think they know and there's always rolling the eyes at the guy on top. in cormorant more reflective moments credit eisenhower is a serious military leader. kennedy's critique might be the skills eisenhower demonstrated as a military officer were

everything that bobby kennedy fought for and many of you have those feelings, we fought for with equal vigor and sometimes earlier we were prepared to do it as long or longer. the whole emphasis on this campaign on major substantive issues will be essentially the urban community, urbanization. i'm the one man they can't contend with a large city -- i have worked for four years with every mayor of every major city in the united states and been to dozens of meetings and visited their cities. we are talking -- you are talking to a fellow who is been in more slums than all the talkers put together. we have been there and have been with the slum kids and adults. we have been out there to see these projects and back alleys. i feel it's. i ran all the vocational schools in the state of minnesota. i was the area manpower director. we liquidated our relief roles with the war on poverty. the first citywide vocational rehabilitation program, retraining employment in the united states. -- i trained and retrained them and employ them. that was my job as the administrator of that division. the talk

bobby kennedy was the attorney general. so the kennedy cabinet and we're still trying to kind of untangle, you know, what they -- you know, the vietnam legacy particularly weighs heavily on that. and eisenhower had a real solid functional cabinet. there were some good people. they were -- they followed his sort of kind of no drama type of approach, but they were solid professionals and i think were pretty solid. eisenhower's popularity, i think it averaged 64% during his presidency. the intellectuals didn't respect him. he was, you know, constantly derided as just, you know, a guy who loved to golf and cook steaks. but he -- he actually was respected by the country very deeply. in fact, "time" magazine had a poll i think it was 1959 actually it was a gallup poll which had him as the man of the decade, so eisenhower was respected and revered by the people. but less so by the intellectual class. and that grated on him. he pretended that it departme department -- he pretended that it didn't, but it did bother him and it was so

johnson is saying bobby kennedy, and martin luther king are paying -- to embarrass me. >>> and the reason the students on campus are protesting the vietnam war is because the soviet and communists are telling them to. and the reason senators like william full light, is because the soviets are stuffing cash in his pockets. that's what he said in private and that was not a president that was operating with a full deck. she made it possible for him to get through that war in a way that was relatively stable. elnor roosevelt 1942, fdr was talking about sending the japanese to internment camps and she said this isn't necessary for national security, total violation of civil liberties. he did it anyways. and they felt this was a part of their marriage they never recovered from. from 1942, fdr would tell him he would like to have her home, and she went on trips and kept her distance and i think one reason for that, by interning the japanese, he was telling her maybe we don't have the same political outlook. >> guest: thank you so much for taking my call. i would like to ask about woodrow wilson.

kennedy style speech that the country needs to come together, fiow the country needs to come together, now is the time for healing. you hear the word "healing" a lot, we need to calm down. everyone was talking about a government of unity, wasn't she, because things were so sort of riled. i think the bigger question about who the —— would want thejob is who question about who the —— would want the job is who the rank—and—file conservative mps want as a leader, because unless they can unite behind one candidate you will have a fight with 20 people throwing their hats in the ring and a long, drawnout election, and of course you'd probably end up with somebody who is the least disliked candidate rather than the most light. imagine if you had a coronation, which is what may had a coronation, which is what may had last time, the grassroots would be angered, grassroots tories would probably say, "give us the option to vote for borisjohnson, the option to vote not for michael gove, some are like that". they want a full— blooded contest and the final say. in an idealworld full—

that challenge was enough when bobby kennedy also joined the campaign as an anti-war candidate to convince linden johnson to simply quit, to simply give up. and this was the most powerful uncanny politician who ever occupied the presidency, and no one expected lyndon johnson to give up and not run until the moment he actually spoke the words, that he was giving up and not running for re-election. the trump model following the lbj model is not inconceivable. >> no, and i would say, you know, if i were a house republican i would really ask myself is donald trump helpful to my prospects if i'm not just in the most rural part of this country or is he helpful? and is it helpful to have him on the ticket for us to get to the top of the majority or harmful? and the reality is republicans made their bed with the devil over the last two years. mitch mcconnell and former speaker ryan made a deal with they basically looked away, were no check on trump. basically said yes to every single thing he did. and the country rose up in opposition. i'm definitely not an advisor to the republican party, but i h

there have been strict rules over the course of time in the aftermath of bobby kennedy being attorney general for his brother, where lyndon johnson passed a set of laws the said they shouldn't be nepotism in the federal government, couldn't be. the current administration got some interpretation of that to allow them to do what they're doing with both jeered and ivanka but there's no question a great these questions come in if there's nothing that has been wrong done. what you just laid out is an obvious question that people start to raise and rightfully raised i think what happens with some family sometimes is not involved in politics before, is not accustomed to scrutiny you're going to get and that every question is going to be asked. and even when your motives were innocent, , even when you have done nothing wrong you will be asked. worse yet if you're doing something that looks incredibly self interested. now, if i relationship with charles kushner, for those of you, some of you laughed, which means you know, for those of you who don't, when i was use attorney i prosecuted charles

"he's our bobby kennedy." why is that? that's the question. we don't often have candidates on, but john james joins us. mr. james, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for havingbu me. >> tucker: the reason we wanted to talk to you, we want to play for our viewers a recording that you made. it's a reporter who called you, and you didn't answer and she thought she hung up but she didn't and here's what you captured on tape. >> my number is 989 [bleep] extension 109. thank you. man, if he beats her, that would suck. i don't think it will happen. he's hard to get a hold of. i hope he doesn't win for that reason, too. do you have anything resembling a page one article? can you hear me? do you have anything -- i mean, a top story? >> tucker: so that is brenda battles, a reporter from a local newspaper and i guess she doesn't like you. is that your read on that? >> i wouldou say so. i think this is just kind of the indication that you are getting, the uphill battle that many of us are facing because a lot of the bias that we are seeing out there is just

i'm convinced in the deepening interest in bobby kennedy is the necessary reaction to what we're getting from our political leadership in the white house. i cannot remember or ever imagine the president attacking minorities so nastily and personally as this one has so recently. donald trump seems to save his worst vitriol for african-american women, whether he's calling congresswoman maxine waters a low iq person, or insulting my friends and colleagues and april ryan for their "racist and stupid questions." he reserves a nastier tone for people below the border, criminals and rapistes. the hero in my book could not have been more different. he would campaign in an open car in gary indiana. he wanted to unite, not divide people. bobby was the first mainstream american politician to take up the cause of the latino farm workers in california, joining in a religious bond with the great caesar chavez. he never broke faith with the white working class families that came out to mourn him. i'm asking you to go with me on this weekend and get this story out i've written about this man in paperbac

>> i just gave him my book on bobby kennedy so he has a role model. he wins in all those categories. the roundtable sticking with us. coming up, there are dozens of sleeper candidates for 2020. is there a chance for one of those to break through, pop up and got to the front of the pack to become the top candidate? it's happened before several times. plus, the democratic party is looking for signs of life in the midwest, the rust belt it used to be called. it went big for trump in 2016. the upper midwest, can trump hold on to those in 2020? or do the democrats who did incredibly well do it again in 2020? and the position trump may find himself in next year. this is "hardball," where the action is. carla is living with metastatic breast cancer, which is breast cancer that has spread to other parts of her body. she's also taking prescription ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor, which is for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive her2- metastatic breast cancer as the first hormonal based therapy. ibrance plus letrozole was significantly more

there have been strict rules in thee course of time, aftermath of bobby kennedy being attorney general for his brother, where lyndon johnson passed a set of laws said that laws that said there should be nepotism in the federal government. the current administration got interpretations of that that allow them to do what they are doing with both jared and ivanka, but there's no question that it raises these questions, even if there is no wrong done. what you just laid out is an obvious question people have a right to raise. and i think what happens in families that of not been in politics before is that they are not accustomed to the scrutiny that you are going to get, and that every question is going to be asked. and even when you have done absolutely nothing wrong, you are going to be asked. worse yet, if you are doing something that looks incredibly self-interested. in terms of my relationship with charles kushner, some of you laughed, which means you know. but for those of you don't, when i was u.s. attorney i prosecuted charles kushner for tax fraud, campaign finance fraud and for w

did not, and bobby kennedy was in all intents and purposes his chief of staff, and we can see who lyndon johnson depend ed upon, and it is not just going to run itself the west wing, and the president is not an uber adm administrator who runs the shop, but it is a shop to run to support the president, and somebody has to see that it does so. >> and to make sure they do. and jeremy peters, you are saying that people are not lining up to work for president trump and not anybody necessarily close to him, and do we believe that going the change if it is clear that the president is running for re-election, and perhaps if he does get re-elected and do you think that you are going to be seeing so many of these conservatives and trying to stay the outside of the president 's orbit? >> i think it is kind of the lindsey graham scenario as i would describe it. somebody who keeps him at the arm's length and criticizes him when he needs to, and when the president simply goes too far, and somebody who also knows how to keep the president close and to talk to him just enough and in just the right way t

the president was killed, was assassinated, then martin luther king was assassinated, then bobby kennedy, he was assassinated. this was how it began. the democratic convention in chicago was attacked and it was like all-out war. the vietnam war was happening. i said, what is going on here? and then not only that, then it followed up with watergate, then a president resigning, so you're talking about problems, and america pulled out of it and i think america's going to pull out of this too. >> one of the terms that's been thrown around now is nationalism. >> you know what i am? i'm a nationalist, okay? i'm a nationalist. >> what does that mean to you? >> i'm the wrong guy to ask, really, about this, because i'm a globalist. you know, to me, i don't have an enemy out there. there is no country or no continent that i look as bad or evil as anything like this, and i think that the more we make the globe a marketplace, the more we can be successful in america. but my main love is for america, because what america has done for me is so extraordinary, like i said to you earlier. >> it's also tr

like he deemed bobby kennedy was for his brother, eric holder was to president obama. roy cohn. that's not the attorney general's job but that's how president trump viewed it, that he wanted him to be his own sort of attorney, if you will. he has been very frustrated with the push back that he has seen from both sides of the aisle on the choice of whitaker. he believed that republicans would have his back on this, he thought whitaker was someone he could leave in this post. he wouldn't be a permanent choice but he could stay in there as the acting attorney general for a while. now there's been such criticism, you saw this lawsuit today filed, that he feels like there is pressure now that he might need to move to appoint a permanent attorney general sooner than he might have wished. and we saw some of that frustration bubble up in his interview over the weekend. his tweets last week saying, pushing back against the idea that whitaker shouldn't have that post because he wasn't confirmed. in fact, even saying, well, bob mueller, the special counsel, he wasn't confirmed leaving out
