going for another kennedy. and so bobby is thinking about running, it was muddled and slow, he was leaning against running most of the time as he thought about it, bobby who is the manager of his brother's campaign, could see every detail of what could go wrong with his own. but he could not yet see what the election was going to be about. life and death. and so bobby held history in his hands for so long that someone that could see what the election would be about decided he couldn't wait any longer and he grabbed history out of bobby's hands, someone no one expected to seize the moment until he did. and that decision by mccarthy is what created the avalanche in american politics that year there is much more to say many of you much more about it than i do, went through it, i would love to hear from you in your questions are what you want to eliminate and yes martin sheen is a wicked nice guy.

well, we will not miss kennedy. kennedy? >> kennedy: thank you so much, yes, chris coons is very close to joe biden, and they like to talk about court packing and dick durbin said no, what is that mean? it's on. the problem is there are people like joe manchin and kyrsten sinema who are not on board with changing the senate rules and getting rid of the filibuster, dianne feinstein, same thing. some of those multi-term senators really feel like that protocol is necessary and all the senators who are facing tight races on the republican side, there democrat challenges of come out and said yeah, we are not for court packing either because they are obviously in swing states that are not far left. although the progressives are very, very loud, the commies may not get their way on this one. >> harris: you know it so interesting, jason, it sounds like from either republicans or democrats who are not so far to the left, the popular idea is not to pack the court. joe biden says he wants to be everybody's president from all america. w

what is that, kennedy? >> kennedy: that is the necessity for squeaky wheels. clearly in this enterprise, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. so more people have to make noise instead of cowering in fear that their account will be locked. i've said it, if you're worried about a social media platform not working for you, have your smart child create a new one. write it out. >> harris: we need to have a mutual girl's play date with our children. yes. girls can code. guy? >> guy: i would love to attend that play date, actually, as long as kennedy is making the cocktails. i'm throwing that out there. i tend to agree when we heard the sound bite, no, this is not a situation of the first amendment being infringed because it's a private company. it's a fair discussion to have about the extent to which facebook, twitter, google in particular represent the virtual public square now and what the rules of the road are. what a lot of conservatives believe and this is backed up by one example after another that you have a lot of people out in silicon valley that are very lef

edward kennedy. it's a place where visitors come now virtually as well as in-person to experience democracy their hands on learning about the united states senate and then use that knowledge as a touchstone to understand the branches of our government. it's also a place where we encouraged participatory democracy. in fact we just started to nonpartisan effort called just about and i encourage you to to go to our new web site called just go.org but most important i encouraged you on november 3 to just vote. it is the most important thing we can do as citizens. this is a place where we work to invigorate civil discourse and inspire the next generation of leaders. i can think of no program and no speaker who meets every one of the goals that my husband had for this place more than today's special guest justice stephen breyer. without question justice breyer is a man for our time and demand for all time. here in boston we are proud to claim him as one of our own. a graduate of stanford, oxford and harvar

kennedy stopped that. kennedy was unbelievably popular with catholics of all income backgrounds, and ethnic backgrounds. we think he got 75%, which is a huge number. since then, broadly, euro american catholics drifting towards the republican, maybe it is 55-45 now. latino catholics, who are a huge percentage of the church are increasingly democratic. do you remember his assassination? >> no, i was two years old. >> as you look back and understand the research and what was the church going through? what were catholic priests and nuns dealing with? >> it is hard to recall. we learned a lot about kennedy's personal life over the last 50 years. i think our culture is generally less empathetic to heroes and people who are perceived as leaders. kennedy was a hero for american catholics. the country was in trauma after his assassination. nothing like this had happened since the death of lincoln in 1865. kennedy was so young and charismatic. i think it holds a particular point with catholics. he was their hero. h

was named in his honor the kennedy space center. it was the site where apollo 11 was to blast off on july 16th 1969. the moon landing 4 days later was the event of the century viewed live around the globe. and it's not known and since 1969 i was living investor in that hospital in the west in ireland to visit a ship when you know radio and t.v. show up during the moon and we stayed open all night in case someone stevie said he needed to paraguay and see how i was fit just from nearly everyone watched west german television and so we of course were also able to see the landing on the movie. i just graduated from college and was living in a small apartment i was vojislav i was lying on my my bed watching neil armstrong come down that ladder and announce you know this is one small step for man one giant leap for mankind. for. the 2 superpowers could now see eye to eye in space. fired. for the 1st time. i'm human beings had seen their planet from the surface of another celeste field body it was a giant leap for mankind and a brief respi

kennedy, what happened? >> kennedy: what happened was to mark these bills are both so incredibly problematic, and the 1986 crime bill created the disparity, the amount of time that you would spend in prison for how much crack you had. if you had 500 grams of crack, you would spend five years in prison. that begin the defamation of communities of color. then in 1994 which is when he was really disavowing, there was incentive is asian to the states to filled prisons and they were willing to give more money to the states that went along with the content of the federal crime bill. joe biden wasn't just a part of that bill, he authored it. he authored both of those. and they are deeply problematic. so again when he talks about systemic racism, this built the framework, this turns the system into a fortress. >> harris: mollie hemingway, i don't know how you mix up a 1986 and 1994 and hope to clear it up on twitter, some of which wasn't even working last night because of that whole hunter biden situation. we don't

i worked for kennedy. he was running against hubert humphrey hubert humphrey had a little campaign slogan or a campaign jingle to the tune of "give me that old-time religion." i remember that. of course, we go back to 1968 and i was voted the end -- i was married it then. i voted for hubert humphrey. my question for the author is this -- and it's the animosity between the humphrey camp and the kennedy camp because of his and he catholic campaign i assume he means was it still there in 1968. i do not think so. i think it was gone at that point. the things that john kennedy did to hubert humphrey in the 1960 campaign a paled in comparison. he basically bought that election in west virginia. >> we have a clip we did not show from 1960. i will take a call. we have jfk talking about hubert humphrey from 1960 to help show some of the relationship. let's get to john and tennessee. >> hubert humphrey and mccarthy were close friends for many years as fellow dfl'ers. mccarthy told humphrey he would come out and supp
