in short, charismatic, a word, the probably the first time i heard that word used was by robert kennedy, it seemed almost synonymous with him, charismatic. he seemed to epitomize, and they often also applied to his personality, biggeh. that's how he would've pronounced, it is new england accent would've pronounced in party, that vigor, is how i say it. but put me in mind, that someone in new england would have a similar tendency to drop the rs. we do have problem with those rs! but new englander's compensate dropping the rs sometimes for putting them where they don't belong. and kennedy was a classic example of adding on r to the end of words. his was cuber -- most pronounced cuba. but it was a place as we will see it, he had quite a few problems with it, when he would talk about "cuber". and another anecdote, i always thought was cute. the story is, maybe this is probably true, he was speaking in the midwest, iowa or some such place, with an accented people. he was talking about the problems that area, and is it i can't really do the accent, but what is wrong with the american farmer t

kennedy. that's when he started to find his voice. he had to be careful before that, to traead softly and it sure did. he won three of the four grand slam titles. i remember his 1975 wimbledon victory extraordinary to see a black man on centre court winning. grace, class, dignity. he didn't make it, unfortunately, to 50 years old. he died at 49. due to aids because of a blood transfusion. he had a bad heart. and so because of a blood transfusion he caught hiv and then died of aids in 1993. as i said 49 years old. what could have been, he would be turning 79 in a couple weeks, and to think, fred, of the way he would have mentored colin kaepernick, lebron james, so many others, tiger woods, the force he could have continued to be and the sounding board for athletes black and white, men and women, would have been extraordinary. what the world missed not having arthur ashe for all these years. >> so true. we look forward to this documentary. as much as we know about arthur ashe there are so many l

kennedy's assassinatiassassinat actually assassination has been more prevalent in times in the united states history of social unrest and dramatic changes to culture. and so i think we're starting to see that now, those social divisions getting played out. we are not at a war, but these are similar to civil war tactics. >> people may forget in the '70s there was a rash of bombs planted under people's cars, that sort of thing, follow the '60s. if we were talking about islamist terrorism and domestic leaders or members of the media were also themselves attacking state and federal officials, echoing the rhetoric of extremists, you would think that there would be consequences. if we were talking about islamist terrorism. we have domestic terrorism as identify by the justice department and identifying these fwrieps and yet you have public figures echoing the rhetoric there. >> yeah. >> are they inflaming the dangers? >> oh, yes, i mean, i think it's undeniable at this stage, we don't have to be shy about it. part of what radicalization is is listening to political rhetoric that increases o
