Old people yeah well and until it and I always thought that they're reading this book about Ted Kennedy. I kept coming growth that's what this role played by his younger brother and it it was just. It was rated their he would make it big decision he was a tough guy. But they eat he was the enforcer. And he loved his brother they do just about anything for a. Yeah I mean you you delve into I thought it was really interest thing you know Bobby and the campaigns and he really eight he had to deal speaking at poppy had to deal with the old man many times which which Jack wouldn't necessarily do. He conducted at fathers was that. Certain of that series the black seat but he would be ignored kid who had no relation to the old and so you just figure that idea what his father. Jack has ignored the old man he just kept his distance it couldn't talk to a apple always something out about Lester it's important but she says when they were playing golf together I guess they've played golf. Did the only good rattled Jack just you know he's putting there's some that are teeing off. He would just get a completely. Puzzled and body was cold cucumber is it just didn't know he did as saying that and they ignored the Altman and so. You could do it in your right it could get the old man's money use the campaign but keep around their headquarters. Bobby was he was in many ways a contradiction to always you know he would do you know it didn't very much. At the forefront when it came to civil rights but also. Ended up. Working for Joseph McCarthy and made that movement made that work. We are given McCartney when he's really young and need the court because these are very close to the party. There Irish very close and he really close the trouble recesses are going out with Jodie sitting as pretty charming witty and drank too much. Of course but can't drag himself did that in a body was nice opening. He saw them get completely over the overboard with the committee in the way he treated witnesses. Following the leader Roy Cohn who Bobby so was just dead there did you go. And yet he's stuck with a billion Eliot are right resolution condemning McCarthy's best behavior. If you take that very restore everything edit it down make evident the same time he went to them. Well put into the great piece back on the one on the plane went out there and hidden a car. Show disrespect and so any any this so great scenery would go over the family. We Jonas so why couldn't sit there watching Joseph and it's still per. Cent one time in his diary Joe's been drawn the last three hearings felt that it was. You know. So closely and I restore it a lot of people can of course they identify with about alcohol and and yet real affection real affection. Chris Matthews is our guest I'm one if you think this Chappaquiddick movie. Will affect heads a legacy at all. Well I think they're not that I'm happy and well I guess so bad but I saw some sort of write about it didn't. You know the tragedy is just a bad bad story would not get Ellen. The way it was still live the way the police can't over the way you know they didn't break into a case on the way they would a normal regular person. In knowing it is a little bit of a mystery until it put the idea that he didn't reported assistance pact. Do you think the Tenet else I'd do you think that they. Reporting it right away civic did chances saving her you know this is all we know we don't have the latest person has asserted get a because of bad deeper mystery. But TJ. At the Kennedys would have survived. The posts Harvey Weinstein. Ara. We're in right now. Yeah I don't know if it's like to go back through history the way that men and women treating each other Mitt would mystery where I can. You know I I always wanted to see exploration during the coming out the Judy Campbell story at Maine. By the yet it's Telus brother getting eaten he was even hesitant about it I'd just like assembly noted in the book. So Bobby get the word. They attacked and having this relation with. With Judy Campbell who's in the book mobsters have been kicked out of the godfather the guys put people of meat hooks up a hit man. His girlfriend they're having its relationship. To block a little bit. You know swing basically has his top aide to a we get. Get the message over to the president you gotta cut up this relationship that gets seventy phone calls recorded from Marty you know whoever linkage to static kill us that. It even that didn't work because Hooper had a camera Jacob it comes to eject. And so it cut that pretend to drop the relationship this body had to go to come to drop a relationship with Sinatra was lobbed up. I mean yes and anyway it was his older brother he was Jack's older brother yeah I think like what he text that. Separated but it didn't matter what Jack's girlfriend yeah it was I think. Whatever the relationship was I think I know about it included the line was drawn and I don't. I've by the united let's reject it looked like if you want to call the local.
