How RFK was Assassinated w/ Robert F. Kennedy Jr

okay this is what I want to ask you about because I've heard you talk about this recently and we don't now on May 26 1968 your father I made a statement that we must defend Israel against aggression from wherever Source our obligations Israel unlike Our obligation towards other countries or clear and imperative the U.S should without delay sell Israel 50 Phantom Jets okay a day later Kennedy's strong plea for the defense of Israel appeared in the Pasadena Independent the article enraged a Palestinian named Sirhan Sirhan he wrote in his diary Robert F Kennedy must be assassinated before June 5th which was the first the first anniversary of the 67 Six-Day War in Israel the Pasadena Independent was in his pocket when he committed the ACT he was killed because of his support for Israel says Kathleen Kennedy Townsend that's not the case that's not the truth well you know he was uh sir hand was involved in the murder of my father but he did not fire the shots that killed my father oh and that didn't he want to but according to this is that wrong that he read this story was enraged as a Palestinian I mean it's the idea that the article was in his pocket when he committed the ACT is that wrong that could be right you know and I don't speculate as to what happened oh I'd say is that sir had himself could not have killed my father and that's what Thomas naguchi who is the coroner you know what by the way my entire life I believe that my uncle was killed by not by you know by a conspiracy by a group of people and I and I had doubts about that from when I was little because when I was about the day that we my uncle was we were waking my uncle in the East room of the White House and I was standing in the floor of the White House with my Aunt Jackie and with my dad and my mother and John Lyndon Johnson came in and told us that Jack Ruby had killed Lee Harvey Oswald for the people who are young people the RBI Oswald was the the person who was charged with killing like arrested for killing my uncle and a day later he was killed in the Jailhouse by a guy you know what a nightclub owner a nightclub America you know deeply involved with with the mob not the worst nightclub owner I ever worked for but yeah and [ __ ] nonetheless anyway and and I had said to my you know my my dad and my mother at that time why did he do it did he love our family because even as a little kid it didn't make any sense to me why would you go do that in public when you know when you're putting your own life at stake and uh so that story never made any sense and then you know what I was told or I researched it somebody gave me a book called the Unspeakable and I read it in the whole story that made sense but I still believe my father had been killed by Sirens or answer and confessed to the murder um he pled guilty and uh you know he's his story is that he has no memory of it and and he's stuck with that story for 60 years so um but Paul the man who was there was a man standing one of my father's best friends was standing beside him when my father was shot and his name is Paul Schrade he was the deputy director of the United Auto Workers and he's the guy who recruited Cesar shop as to the labor movement to the United Farm Workers and then introduced my father to Cesar Chavez which was one of the most important relationships that my father had and the first shot that sir Ann fired hit Paul in the head Paul survived and he just died uh less than a year ago and he spent the last 20 years of his life trying to get his her aunt out of jail because he did not believe that Sir Anthony father and I just sort of dismissed what over years I'd hear that he was that Al London who you may remember was trying to get my siren Lowenstein was a congressman a great friend of my father started the dump Johnson movement he was later assassinated himself he became a congressman was killed um but he fought for many years to get sir hand out because and get it the the case reopened because he did not believe them my father was killed by Syrian but I never looked into any details I just assume or there were 77 eyewitnesses sir and killed Robert Kennedy right and then pulse rate made me come over to his house one day and read the autopsy report how did he make me he told me you have to do this and because he was such a close friend of my father's and because he himself had been shot you know um I felt like I couldn't say no to him when I sat down and read the autopsy report it became clear to me as it would to anybody who read that report that saran could not have killed my father which is what Thomas nicucci the corner the most important coroner probably in American history concluded also and said in his autobiography and here's the here's what happened the short story sir hand fired two shots of my father he was five feet away there was as I said many many there was absolute Mayhem in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel my father just won the Primary he said from this age and now it's on to Chicago which is where the convention was then he walks off the stage and he went into a Ruth that was not expected he was led into a route through the kitchen which he was not supposed to go to and waiting in the kitchen in an ambush what was your answer in uh neck is standing in front of his steam table and as my father approached the steam table of sir and fired at him two shots one of those hit pulse raid the other one went past my father's ear and hit a door jamb behind my father a wooden door jamb from which it was later removed by the LAPD siren was then grabbed by six men in a dog pile and he was backed onto the steam table and his hand the Rayford Johnson who was a great friend of mine one of my father's close friend he was at uh the decathlon gold medal winner in 1960. he was one of the people grabbed it and he was the one who actually grabbed his hand and he said that sir and it was a tiny little man I you know I've been to meet him and visit him in prison he said the tiniest tiniest little guy and but Rayford said he had superhuman strength and he could not get that gun out of his hand and Sir had now is pointing the gun away from my father and fired six more shots so there's eight shots in the barrel he fired six in the other direction the opposite direction from where my father was all of those shots hit people so we know who they hit we know what happened to all of those bullets one one person got shot twice and once through his clothes went through once through his clothing and I remember my father was shot four times from behind and so it's the same scenario let me just finish Apache and a real shooter right so he was a distractor I'm in the real shooter was behind my father who was a man called Eugene and Cesar who was a security guard who worked for Lockheed it was a CIA operative he was a vocal vocal racist who hated the Kennedy's face and he had been the one who led my father through the kitchen toward the Ambush he was holding my father's arm he drew his gun right and my father was shot four times from behind one of the shots passed through the shoulder pad of his harmlessly through the shoulder pad of his um of his his code the other two were into his back and then one behind his ear which was the Fatal shot and all of the shots had an uphill trajectory so and all of them and this is what the autopsy found or contact shots so the barrel of the gun was touching my father's body or his clothing and they left carbon the discharge left carbon tattoos were less than an inch from his skin so they they left carbon tattoos on his flesh and the autopsy was an Exquisite autopsy it's called the perfect autopsy Thomas and Gucci who knew what had happened to President Kennedy's autopsy which was you know loaded with Scandal did not want the same thing to happen in LA and he said we're not going to do Dallas again so he flew in the top corners from all of the armed services the Army Air Force Navy Marines to observe what he was doing and his autopsies called the perfect autopsy in the medical literature and uh you know he concluded that the shots had come from behind and there were 77 eyewitnesses who saw that Sirhan was never behind my father he was always in front of him always about five feet away and all the shots that killed him now it seemed so open he fell and as if my father fell he he must have known he was being shot from behind because he turned around and grabbed off Cesar's clip-on tie and you can see pictures of them lying on the floor and he's actually lying on top of his heart with the clip-on tie in his hand and there's pictures of Cesar without his tie on either pushed my father off him and stood up he was knocked down when my father fell on to him he stood up and was seen with his gun the police did not confiscate the gun that night and they asked him why what he was doing he said he drew the gun to shoot it's her head and uh you know and then that that's the beginning of the story and then Cesar made a series of changing deceptive lying statements after that in the different times he was uh questioned over many many years I cannot tell you what happened I you know I I can speculate about it but I can tell you that I cannot see anyway and that anybody can read that autopsy report and believe this her aunt killed my father and that's you know my point is that it ought to be investigated there was no trial it was a show trial so um a an attorney whose name was a grant um I forgot what his last name he appeared nobody knows how and became saran's attorney who was he he was the attorney for Johnny roselli the mobster who was implicated in John Kennedy's assassination in Dallas five years earlier and was later chopped up and put in a barrel when the assassination committee summonsed him to to testify when the church committed some in Biscayne Bay Miami he was his body was found in Miami it disappeared the day he was supposed to testify in front of the church committee on the assassinations and um and the and he was involved at that time in the Friars Club Scandal so that fry you know what the Friars Club Scandal is no the fry you know what the friar is called I certainly do that right okay and you've probably been there and oh yeah so that uh that was um uh Ron roselli was one of the people who was running it and the other that Mickey Cohen the the the la mobster yeah and they had they were doing card games there so they had poker it was a place where the famous people you know it's a club comedians right here and they had installed cameras in the ceiling so they could read everybody's hands oh and that and they got busted for it and they and that trial was going on when my father was killed and the attorney for roselli at that time was the guy who weirdly showed up nobody can explain why and became Sirens attorney and he was under federal investigation because somehow rosali had been able to obtain the grand jury testimony which is utterly that's a jailhouse sentence you cannot you that is like stealing the U.S mail if you steal grand jury testimony it's such a serious crime that you're gonna go to jail the lawyer got blamed for it so he was on himself as under federal investigation and was about to get disbarred and he then representing Sirhan he was involved in concealing evidence he was the one who told Syrian to plead guilty um and he he blocked the ballistics evidence of the government the balloons to kill my father were different than the bullets we came from a different gun than the bullets they killed other people or shot other people nobody else died so anyway there's you know there's a lot of questions that should be answered and if you look at the evidence it doesn't make any sense and then he the guy in a bow tie again but um it just must be so frustrating that this seems like so clear-cut but like the whole world thinks the reverse yeah yeah well that's yeah but it's not I mean you convinced me anyway I I'm Gonna Let You Go I hope this does well for your campaign I really think you in the mix is a great thing because certainly somebody's got to keep them honest and the one thing I can count on you like when we ever agree I on everything no who do you agree I die with it nobody and you shouldn't we're humans but you know somebody has to keep them honest and the one thing I think I can count on you is you're not a guy who's going to shake the at your sketch remember Mitt Romney shake the like you're not gonna attack I don't think or maybe you will I don't know maybe you know when when if you get close it's going to be very tempting to you know go more to the center and and disavow nothing in your past tells me you'll do that you are a guy You Love Me Or Hate Me disown me I am sticking to what I know or what I believe I know that I think I can count on that's gonna I think that's gonna count a lot counts a lot with me thank you so much hey thanks for watching the clip hit the Subscribe button now so you never miss out on our club random content that's posted daily
