The secret service told Robert Kennedy that they could not protect him if things got violent but he still went and delivered one of the most powerful speeches in history

I wish our leaders still talked like this today. This is inspiring 🇺🇸

Dr. King and the Kennedy's are blessings for us from God. Such a gracious group intent on creating the change our nation so desperately (and still desperately) needed. This breaks my heart every single time.

Juan Romero held RFK's head off the kitchen floor where he had been felled by a bullet ;Romero said RFK's last words were "Is everybody ok ?" In his dying moments He still Cared for Others More .

Sad that this speech is still just as relevant today

Bobby was the real deal. He actually cared. And within two months they killed him too.

There were no riots in Indianapolis that night........One man calmed an entire crowd & nothing burned in that town that night.

Why did you leave out RFK's call to prayer? It was a crucial part of the short speech. "So I ask you to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King -- yeah, it's true -- but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love -- a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke."

We need this message in our country again to unite and encourage people. Where are the few greats that can help us today?

This may have happened before my birth, but I find I am affected nonetheless. To lose both Dr. King and Robert Kennedy in 1968 was a gigantic blow to a country in turmoil attempting pitifully and painfully to find its way. I can only imagine the great heights we did not reach because these two inspirational leaders were taken from us. I have always believed that Robert would have been an even better president than John. Dr. King would have had an ally with whom progress would have been expeditiously realized. The SCOTUS appointments, the labor initiatives, civil protections, improvements to healthcare and education, along with the obviation of corporate abuses that could have been accomplished by the alignment of these two visionaries could have created a country that would not have welcomed the neoliberalism that took root in the '80s. Perhaps that is exactly why they needed to be stopped.

The most moving speech I've ever heard

Martin Dr Luther king jr was a wonderful man

rip mlk jr he will always be missed and remembered

What a man what a speech.

that is a great man

I actually wrote a report on Bobby Kennedy because he was a GOOD AND CARING MAN! I will forever love this speech and I will forever feel terrible that America lost an actual good politician.

May 2020, we need this speech in this country

Growing up, I only knew that President John F. Kennedy had a brother named Bobby. Though I also knew that both were assassinated, JFK in Dallas and RFK in California during his presidential campaign, I was taught almost nothing else about the Kennedy family's legacy and influence. I didn't live through those times, because I am only 20 years old I have no true understanding of the struggles the US had at that time, such as the ones Martin Luther King fought for. It is a shame that JFK's legacy shadows that of RFK, because Bobby Kennedy seemed to be a sincere and driven man who truly cared about the people he knew and America as a whole. He was also an excellent speaker, knowing how to draw you in and connect with his audience as he did here through referring to his brother's murder. Bobby's "Ripple of Hope" speech he gave in South Africa (I think that's where he gave it) is another excellent speech, should you be looking for another RFK speech

Rip Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

My favorite politician of all time. I wish Bobby Kennedy was still alive today. We need him and MLK in 2020.

One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen, RFK jr 2024!

One of the most moving speeches I have ev to heard

This is an excellent example of leadership and compassion. Quite a stark contrast to the divider in chief we have today.

In his impromptu remarks right after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy recalled the slaying of his own brother and quoted Aeschylus: “In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.”

Mr. "When the looting starts the shooting starts" could learn something from Kennedy about how to address your nation in a time of distress (nevermind that the looting was started by undercover cops and not by the people who were protesting)

If only politicians cared about the American people and not just the base they pledge allegiance to.

Amazing speech.

So relevant right now.

Right now please give this a listen!!! this is what we need

Perfect message for today.

Brilliant and compassionate man. He is missed

This city was one of the very few that did not devolve into riots that night...because of this speech.

Your are the best

I believe that this was the only time he publicly mentioned his brothers death. What could have been?....

The G.O.A.T"s tweet brought me here!!!!

Little did people know, and RFK himself, that he would be assassinated 2 months later. How sad.

3:00 saving it for a school project

Peace be with all of us....somehow.

Great clip, John

Will there be another like this man

In two months, same happened to him. Great loss..

so sad

Such violence is a personal matter for Robert Kennedy. His past, his present and his future

If only....we ALL could only have half of who RFK was deep down, WOW !!!

Amen.

The very best people have been taken from us long before they should have gone. We have not had a person in public service who had so much compassion and love and never will again.

John Cena tweeted this, I guess that's the reason I'm here.

If the Kennedys and king didn't die can you imagine how America would be today?

God what a nightmare.

I'm here because john cenas tweet.. 🥰💗💖

What a combo those two..

BOBBY WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT PRESIDENT . HE WENT INTO THE SOUTH AND SAW THE HARDSHIP THAT JOHN WOULDNT HAVE SEEN AND GIVEN ATTENTION .

Nothing has Changed :-(

Some leaders hide in a bunker and hate-tweet. Some dont.

Is this Mr hipps dad in video edit? Does not look like rfk...odd announcement. Better version on this video than prior end clip without intro.

RFK spoke from his heart omg why can’t we have a politician similar like BOBBY KENNEDY??????????????

John Cena's tweet directed me here

I remember this so well. Where are the Kennedy descendants? This video should be played at protests. Robert Kennedy would have made a good, if not great president. I was living in LA that horrible night. My plan was to go to the Ambassador Hotel but my lift fell through. A good film about that night "Bobby" I can highly recommend.

💜

Thanks cena

All over the nation, the night MLK was assassinated, there were riots in cities. But there was no riot in Indianapolis. That is the power of eloquence in service of empathy.

This would make a good super bowl commercial.

Where are statesmen such as this today when we so desperately need them?

TRANSLATE THIS TO ALL LANGUAGES AND UPLOAD

almost unbearable , some time before he was murdered . thank you Bob Dylan for your song

Saw @Chappaquidicck today. Kennedys and their legacy don't come out well. This is their best moment.

Fun fact. Then Indianapolis Mayor Richard Lugar, advised the Kennedy campaign not to make the stop and that he "could not guarantee their safety".

John Cena has sent me

This is what we need. Instead we get radio silence from the White House

John Cena Drop kicked me here

This speech is full of Wisdom The answer The solution Lie in Kennedy words that men women boys and girls mUSt Not only listen but committed to memory Seeping into the souls of ALL

Martin Luther King Jr is super disappointed in us because racism is really bad 😔

Shame on the 30 people who booed a man who tried spread love & hope instead of hate & despair...

Bobby!

John cena brought me here

Thank you John Cena

John Cena Nice Clip and This What We Need Right Now

In the days since George Floyd’s murder at the hands of a police officer and his accomplices, I have been searching for this level of leadership. I am sad to say nobody - not a white or person of color - has risen to the occasion. We are left to search through the history pages of America to find this kind of moral courage, and for that, I am thankful for the words of Bobby Kennedy. May God have mercy on us all.

Just 65 views away

RIP rk. He wud hv made great president

Candace Owens should watch this.

And to think the people who listened were the only one's who didn't riot that day. Just something to think about.

Jason Chaffetz was ousted because he has this soul. Trey Gowdy never wants to go back to the brilliant exposures of American government agencies. Perhaps it's the women, today, have the cojones?

Seems loek he had a speech prepared for a death assassination that just occurred. Maybe he is an amazing spur of moment speaker?

"Feeling lucky to be alive eh?"

The case for "unity" is easy to argue when it's not your hero that just died.

From John Cena.. on twitter

We keep coming back to the same situations~rascism, police reform, injustice & looting, violent protests, inequality~The eloquence of Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy & so many have said time after time how LOVE is the ONLY thing that heals~Justice isn't always present in our court systems~& as unfortunate as that is~Let's ask, "What is the catalyst that this Country will change?" ~Change starts here now in each & every American~Do you want to make this Country Great? If YOU DO, Put your love out there, every day, every minute of every day, every second~No matter how hard~George Floyd was kind, loving, a family man~He was someone's son, someone's father, someone's brother & HE was MORE THAN SOME ONE~Let's show George, We will hold people accountable~WE ARE FREEDOM & PEACE~We are better than this~Let's hold a candle in honour of George & all those like George~It should never have happened & I pray to GOD, It will not happen again. GOD BLESS GEORGE, HIS FAMILY, HIS FRIENDS & ALL THOSE THAT ARE LOVING & PEACEFUL~AMEN.

I am of mixed race. Native, Black and Austro-Hungarian. As such, I wish I could weep as if all felt my pain. Yet I know so many could care less about a minorities plight.

Omg .. so REVERENT TODAYYYYYY

End handgun violence now

He wrote it himself on the plane over.

🌹🌹❤️💪🏾💪🏻💯

Any one after John Cena tweet?

*"John cena"*

looking at the few things JFK did he was indeed a President and a good one I guess

Amazing this city wants the Only city where there wanst a riot because of that speech ❤

Who came here after John Cena's tweet

It wasn’t only black campaign supporters. I was there as a small child with my parents. I’m afraid that if this happened today my little white behind might not get out of there alive. It’s tragic and both MLK and RFK would be horrified by the race baiting on both “sides” that’s going on today. It breaks my heart.

There are no JFK or RFKs . G_D bless the Kennedys’
