Robert Kennedy, thank you so much for joining us today.

Happy to be here.

So I have a preface here for this question that I think is worth it.

So I hope that you'll agree and it deals with the question of peace.

So I'm just going to go with it now.

On November 29, 1963, your father and your aunt, Jackie Kennedy,

sent a secret message to the Soviets through William Walton.

The Soviet Georgie Bolshekov had been a back channel to the Kremlin for JFK.

William Walton told Bolshekov that Robert and Jackie Kennedy knew that the Soviets were not behind

the guns in Dallas and that it was a domestic right wing conspiracy.

They also warned that LBJ would not continue JFK's policies because he was too close to big business.

And so the quest for peace would have to wait until Robert Kennedy could get to the White House.

Of course, we know what happened or today we know enough of what happened.

But I have to ask, is it finally time to resume the quest for peace?

I would say yes for that.

What does it say that this is not something that politicians say anymore?

I mean, when Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2008, he said,

we better get used to the idea that war is always going to be with us.

But your uncle had a different vision. He said, we can't think that way.

It's self-defeating to think that peace is impossible.

So how do you plan to go against these trends of recent decades and it's many decades now where

peace is not even on the table? How do you plan to make this happen?
