What made the Kennedys such great leaders, is they never pretended they could solve all the issues. They always inspired the people to take control of their own lives and ask themselves what they could do. They were forging a nation, and world, of people who thought for themselves and helped others. Such losses in such tragic circumstances. May God rest their beautiful souls.

Seeing his brother finish his most likely first term, seeing him grow old, seeing him have a family to outlast them both. Just… seeing him. Things that never were. “Why not?”
I remember when I was about 8, my dad said “Jack was the polished star, but Bobby was the truly great man.” He had it right. I wish I could have seen the world as he could have changed it.
I totally agree with you : You take the words right out of my mouth !!! > but Bobby was the truly great man.” He had it right. I wish I could have seen the world as he could have changed it.😔
They did change it. The 1964 Civil Rights Act destroyed apartheid laws in the south despite violent Democrat objections. I saw schools, colleges and businesses suddenly opened to Black citizens formerly impossible despite all the previous laws failing to accomplish it before. Eg, Previously there were no schools or overcrowded ones with second hand books and few could afford to go. Afterwards for the first time Black kids could go to school without going far from home. To a people mostly involved in domestic or farm labor this was life changing. I tutorrd kids sttaight out of 300 hundred years of apartheid poverty. They were bright as pennies. Eager to learn. Happy to hear they had a college they could go to in their town previously closed to them. It is wicked to tell a child he or she can not learn or do math because of their skin color.
Bobby had a unique view of the Oval Office and the DOJ and then the Senate-He learned what was just and how to try and achieve it because of his very unique perspective.
A most excellent speech indeed with vision, idealism and hope for a better world. 58 years since he gave this speech I see an American political landscape utterly bereft of any public servants who have the integrity and decency of the Kennedy brothers.
Amen! I agree. John and Bobby are turning in their graves what the Democratic Party has become. Thank God we still have their speeches and idealism to live unto.
@@davidflax648 The orange man will be 78 years old in 2024. Too old to be president--Abe Lincoln must be turning over in his grave to see what the GQP has become. He should stop telling lies and go quietly back to cheating at golf and stop being a crook and traitor!!!!!!!
I think it was the beginning of the end of American society when they killed Bobby. Just Jack and maybe it could recover. But when they killed Bobby too it set in a poison which can only be ended with death and rebirth.
"Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change the world which yields most painfully to change." -RFK
The loss of Bobby has left it's wounds on all decent people. We need not mourn him so much as show our conviction to the beliefs he had, and his faith in us to carry on with them.
I was a little kid, 7 or 8 living in Los Angeles, yet so impressed by RFK that I stayed awake and saw the broadcast of him shot at the hotel that night. My heart bled for the hope he inspired.
I have listened to all 3 Kennedy brothers since JFK became president, when I was 15 years old and living in my native Denmark. At the beginning of the speech I thought it was JFK speaking, only to realize a bit later it was Ted Kennedy, he sounded much like his JFK. However, after awhile I recognized the text from the eulogy Ted gave for his brother Bobby. I agree great speech, all the Kennedy brother was eloquent speakers. All call for the best in others, all had a moral compass when it came to civil rights, the poor etc. (in private life, not so much, specially JFK and Ted). They are all missed, the all made the US better, and given more time both JFK and RFK would have a great impact on this country.
For me only RFK counts ; but I understand the Democrats in God's own country although I am an atheist myself . I am Dutch and I am voting VVD ; i am a mixture of American Republican / GOP values and ideas and 2) The values and ideas of the Democratic Party . (Just like dr.,Henry Kissinger when he was looking for power in the old days giving college to college students - dr.Henry Kissinger was right from his point of view and ideas . He could have been a Democrat (in these times) as well , but history chose differently 😄😉.
I recall so clearly coming down stairs and my father stated "they killed Kennedy!", I responded yes 5 years ago...then he said: "Bobby!" The world changed so many times in the 60's. The real heros were murdered time and time again.
@@bigdukesix4161the only one worth voting, who represents the same values, and shares the same name is called a radical today. If both RFK and JFK ran today, they would be smeared by the same labels. Such a shame.
Abraham Lincoln, John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy. These men inspire me and my heart breaks every time I am reminded of how quick their lives were taken. When Liberals make great leaders, they become Timeless Legends.
The answer is in his words! "Some men see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not?" You and I, and more beside, must step forward to create a tiny ripple of hope that can truly flood the world.
I was a i3 yr old volunteer campaign worker in SF ,CA. for Bobby and when he died tried to bury my grief working for the Kennedy Action Core . It didn't help . Even now at 69 I grieve his loss .And ... I imagine a world , where he lived !!!
I was 8 years old in Arcadia California so excited about Bobby becoming our president.

It's unreal. Although, I find his MLK speech more powerful since it was so off-the-cuff, yet sincere (and I believe the only time publicly he talked about Jack's death).
my grandma campaigned for him in IL, and was going to be at the primary in Chicago before his assassination... she always told me about how much this hurt her.
Both of their assassinations hurt those that were/are kindred to them. There was truth within them. Truth, like their spirits are eternal and permeate the cosmos. The sincere soul can feel their ripples.

I got really into speeches in my early twenties(I'm 36 now). I have forgotten most of it by now but this particular sentence has stuck with me since then and has grown to shape how I view others. "Those that live with us are our brothers, that they share with us the same short moment in life, that they seek as we do, nothing but the chance to live their life in purpose and happiness." If you take all of humans throughout the ages and tore down their goal to it's most purest form then you'll see that this is the undeniable truth.
Oh what chain of events those brothers could have unleashed on this once Godly nation of yours. For once in the name of the greater good. Instead they were murdered. And those ultimately responsible where never held accountable. Instead they placed themselves in a higher state of power and we let them get by with it. In return we will be next for listening to their content! God speed!
Robert F.Kennedy impacted my life and the world like his brother JFK before him. Great Men do great things because they have great love and great passion. They both were Love in Motion. Salute! Never let us forget the late great Senator Edward Kennedy. ❤
Great speech and eulogy for his brother President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Politicians should speak with strength, integrity, moral courage, forthrightness and honor. This was a speech of such caliber.
@@martinjenkins6467 I believe that this is all Teddy. He read part of Robert's speech during the eulogy. One of the best speeches I've ever heard. The Kennedys were on a path to lead this country into a better place, sad that we lost them.
Does anyone old enough at the time he said these words know if his contemporaries ever called him out for the fact that they were plagiarized from George Bernard Shaw? He was assassinated 8 years before my birth so I’m curious. I ask not to disparage RFK as I hold him in high regard for his place in American history, particularly in how he resolved the Bay of Pigs fiasco. I ask so as to give proper credit to the original author.
Teddy's eulogy for Bobby was one of the greatest eulogies of all time… No doubt. An absolutely listen really should be an absolutely taught in every classroom also
A world in which choosing a side is seen as the only viable option people like the Kennedies are what we need. They were centrists who understood & respected the differences of people. Even create laws to protect that diversity. In the 21st century if u don't stand for something u are deemed to be weak & subsequently discarded. We need thses people now more than ever.
To which individual that hears this will there be one who will see and do as is spoken.These are words divinely spoken.Let us all be united because in it we stand but divided we fall!!
Yes the words of neo liberals are often inspiring but frequently lack any follow through. Take, on the other hand, the words of the extremist radical leftists known as the founding fathers. Now there is a group that followed through on their equally flowery speeches.
The Irish of that generation were not far from the potato famines...certainly within the memory of their grandparents. That devastation humbled most Irish and spurred the modern era diaspora of the Irish. For many that soul wound opened their hearts to wisdom and compassion. These are the Irish Americans who called on that ancestral pain to inspire justice and goodness; unlike the modern demagogues like Hannity and O'Reilly - Irish Americans of whom I am not proud.😐
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” Ronald Reagan
I agree, but unfortunately it was people like Ronald Reagan who actively opposed expansion of the freedoms people in America enjoy. Regan opposed the Civil Rights Act, Reagan supported the suppression of free speech through his participation in the Red Scare which destroyed the careers of hundreds of people who did not not play ball McCarthy, Reagan vetoed sanctions on Aperthaid South Africa. Reagan, along with his fellow Republican presidents, Nixon, W. Bush and Trump have done more than most in trying to curtail freedom.
Apartheid was of course created in South Africa primarily due to the advent of minimum wages, a device that Reagan was surely opposed to . Reagan was not anti Civil Rights. He merely believed in achieving those goals ,rightly or wrongly, in a civil manner, not by coercion of the State . Coercion is not freedom. Coercion is not civility.
@@avibanerjee96well, you lost me when you brought Trump, Bush, because you conspicuously left out democrat presidents. You are hopelessly biased. Obama, Biden curtailed freedom just as much, if not more so. The current world is much more censored than the period when Trump was in the office. I have never seen so many political prosecutions in the past compared to the present.
@@zengjanezhu "I have never seen so many political prosecutions in the past compared to the present"...that's because even the Republican Party didn't nominate abject criminals for office, for the most part. Well, there is Nixon and Watergate et al., Reagan and Iran-Contra et al., and Bush Jr. and lying his way into Iraq et al. On second thought, maybe I take back what I said about the Republican Party not nominating criminals. You are right, Democratic politicians have also curtailed freedoms, but rushing to defend Trump and the "Trump era" keeps me from taking you too seriously.
Kennedy was a great man and loved American and the people. The people loves him!. But what is going on in America today makes me afraid and sad. Got needs to be back in so many lives to day.
There has been, in no point in history, a greater speech. Selfless, wholesome, and intended for greater visions. It is a greater view, indifferent of race or rank, for the greater, united, peace among all mankind.
Bless the hearts of those that seek refuge in these words, equivalent to pilars of a man's soul. His true north when all things around him have gone south. Who find the light at the end of the tunnel in themselves. Using that fire to maybe not tackle the shortcomings of the entire world but! Doing what they can, keeping those unbeknownst to their conscious awareness of the warmth and refuge you give them. Keep that fire lit and protect it. Disburse it into the many souls on your path to ultimate unity with the planet. GOD BLESS
When I heard this on that day I thought that is the most beautiful eulogy I've ever heard I have watched it several times The horrific tradgedies the Kennedy family endured
A great posting!!! Wonderfully synchronised with world events, human history and activities that go alongside each part of this eulogy. Thank you for creating it and posting it!!!
@@neecicoleman1690 well the presidency was lethal to him & he did try to abolish the M.I.C & Fed reserve(which is apparently a private company managing the economy totally nothing weird there)
@@BilalAhmad-ff3xq Yes, but it was never entirely impossible to accomplish from a position of power. Bobby literally traveled the world trying to help people, striking out against social injustices in an effective and moral way which is why I feel that we need him (or somebody like him) in today's society.
Brought me to tears. This is what I want for America, to help heal those who are hurt and comfort those who are suffering. we are all equal, we need to come together now, even if it means standing against the tide.❤️ these men were angels. As he said, it was often one person who made great change in the world as we see it today even if we think just one man cannot make a difference.
Spectacular. To survive into the future, humanity must survive itself. All men were created equal: An enduring dream, lives cut short by an assassin's gun. The dream remains, as the future begins each day. The Kennedy family reflected values that still resonate.
Oh my goodness! I have never heard words be put together so eloquently about things that really matter to all of us, despite religion, race, gender and ideology
Please confirm this as having been a speech first given by Robert Kennedy in 1966 then used in it’s entirety by his brother, Edward M.Kennedy as the eulogy for Robert. In all the years I have held the Kennedy brothers as my highest American ideals, I did not know, or remember this, and can think of no greater speech to confirm my opinion.
And with his assassination went the last hope for America. The world is still feeling the effects of the murders of JFK, RFK, MLK….good men who tried to make the world better and safer.

@heavenlymonkey they didn't get blown to pieces
We do have his so and he will get my vote!🇺🇸❤
If good men like this would just rise and be heard; People would follow.
You're right and we will be heard
His son RFK Jr. is currently running for President as an Independent 🇺🇸
Some men see things as they are and say why? I dream of things that never were and say why not?
I love that saying Bobby Kennedy
Yes, we must for the sake of future generations grasp hold of these ideals so that our Children will find the way....
@@colleenstevens7651 its my favourite saying of all time, i often wonder what the world would be like if he never died,
Hello - Abe Lincoln
Does anyone old enough at the time he said these words know if his contemporaries ever called him out for the fact that they were plagiarized from George Bernard Shaw? He was assassinated 8 years before my birth so I’m curious. I ask not to disparage RFK as I hold him in high regard for his place in American history, particularly in how he resolved the Bay of Pigs fiasco. I ask so as to give proper credit to the original author.
This speech is something else...en absolute listen 🎧
Teddy's eulogy for Bobby was one of the greatest eulogies of all time… No doubt. An absolutely listen really should be an absolutely taught in every classroom also
The Brothers Kennedy are legend. They will never be forgotten.
A single spark of Courage is capable of igniting the fires of Hope.
We do it not because it is easy but because it is hard John F. Kennedy
Hands down my favorite speech I’ve ever heard
Altruism is the most beautiful quality mankind can possess. I believe that was Bobby’s legacy. Rest In Peace Brother.
Much closer words to visualize our life. Really, heart touching.
A world in which choosing a side is seen as the only viable option people like the Kennedies are what we need. They were centrists who understood & respected the differences of people. Even create laws to protect that diversity. In the 21st century if u don't stand for something u are deemed to be weak & subsequently discarded. We need thses people now more than ever.
To which individual that hears this will there be one who will see and do as is spoken.These are words divinely spoken.Let us all be united because in it we stand but divided we fall!!
A house divided between itself cannot stand- Abraham Lincoln
@@icebreaker9995 did you just quote yourself, how old are you now 😂
Yes the words of neo liberals are often inspiring but frequently lack any follow through.
Take, on the other hand, the words of the extremist radical leftists known as the founding fathers. Now there is a group that followed through on their equally flowery speeches.
I was a student panama canal college learning from my hero bobby kennedy uplifting goodness my goodness a beacon of hope around the world ❤️❤️❤️😭
Whatever with people's opinion of the Kennedys......This chokes me up every time I hear his heart breaking at the end of this brilliant eulogy.
Man was ahead of his time. Irish and proud to be.
I"m not Irish but I'm proud for you! RIP Bobby, even though, I still wish you were here my friend.
All three of them MLK, RFK AND JFK WHERE AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. NOW WE STILL FIGHTING TO LIVES TOGETHER AS HUMAN.
Im irish
The Irish of that generation were not far from the potato famines...certainly within the memory of their grandparents. That devastation humbled most Irish and spurred the modern era diaspora of the Irish. For many that soul wound opened their hearts to wisdom and compassion. These are the Irish Americans who called on that ancestral pain to inspire justice and goodness; unlike the modern demagogues like Hannity and O'Reilly - Irish Americans of whom I am not proud.😐
I salute the great nation of Ireland!!!
From Greece
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” Ronald Reagan
I agree, but unfortunately it was people like Ronald Reagan who actively opposed expansion of the freedoms people in America enjoy. Regan opposed the Civil Rights Act, Reagan supported the suppression of free speech through his participation in the Red Scare which destroyed the careers of hundreds of people who did not not play ball McCarthy, Reagan vetoed sanctions on Aperthaid South Africa. Reagan, along with his fellow Republican presidents, Nixon, W. Bush and Trump have done more than most in trying to curtail freedom.
Apartheid was of course created in South Africa primarily due to the advent of minimum wages, a device that Reagan was surely opposed to .
Reagan was not anti Civil Rights. He merely believed in achieving those goals ,rightly or wrongly, in a civil manner, not by coercion of the State . Coercion is not freedom. Coercion is not civility.
@@avibanerjee96 you’ve got it all right my friend
@@avibanerjee96well, you lost me when you brought Trump, Bush, because you conspicuously left out democrat presidents. You are hopelessly biased. Obama, Biden curtailed freedom just as much, if not more so. The current world is much more censored than the period when Trump was in the office. I have never seen so many political prosecutions in the past compared to the present.
@@zengjanezhu "I have never seen so many political prosecutions in the past compared to the present"...that's because even the Republican Party didn't nominate abject criminals for office, for the most part. Well, there is Nixon and Watergate et al., Reagan and Iran-Contra et al., and Bush Jr. and lying his way into Iraq et al. On second thought, maybe I take back what I said about the Republican Party not nominating criminals. You are right, Democratic politicians have also curtailed freedoms, but rushing to defend Trump and the "Trump era" keeps me from taking you too seriously.
"Don't look at things how they are and ask why, dream the things that never were, that have yet to happen, and ask *why not?* "
Kennedy was a great man and loved American and the people. The people loves him!. But what is going on in America today makes me afraid and sad. Got needs to be back in so many lives to day.
R.I.P great speech
Why don’t we have leaders like him anymore
I feel sorry for my generation who were born in 90s and 2000
We completely lost 😢😢😢
Born in the 1980’s and we never got a decent leader either 🤷🏻♂️
You can be the type of leader you want to see in the world.
This Video Deserves Billions Of Views... Long Live Peace!
Oh man ,his voice is shaky in the end. They were really good brothers a wonderful family,Kennedy family.
We can all be remembered this way if we so choose. I wish I could have known such men.
Beautiful.❤❤❤
There has been, in no point in history, a greater speech. Selfless, wholesome, and intended for greater visions. It is a greater view, indifferent of race or rank, for the greater, united, peace among all mankind.
Wow, what a great speech. I hope my mom and dad got to hear this..
"Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not."
This is actually a excerpt from the eulogy given by Ted Kennedy at the funeral of rfk. Which was a reference to the speech rfk gave in South Africa
Bless the hearts of those that seek refuge in these words, equivalent to pilars of a man's soul. His true north when all things around him have gone south. Who find the light at the end of the tunnel in themselves. Using that fire to maybe not tackle the shortcomings of the entire world but! Doing what they can, keeping those unbeknownst to their conscious awareness of the warmth and refuge you give them. Keep that fire lit and protect it. Disburse it into the many souls on your path to ultimate unity with the planet. GOD BLESS
We see our enemies as friends. We’re pitted agents each other but we’re in this together. We are not enemies but friends. Don’t lose hope
Do you love this speech as much as I do
Yes I do ❤️
When I heard this on that day I thought that is the most beautiful eulogy I've ever heard I have watched it several times The horrific tradgedies the Kennedy family endured
This speech may be relevant forever.
The grief and loss and Angie for his bro and he healed himself first before forging ahead for us!
Quite possibly the greatest speech ever.
This is Ted Kennedy's Eulogy for his brother Robert F. Kennedy. June 8, 1968 at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Heartbreaking then and now. RIP
Please Mr. Robert Kennedy Jr. Get the White House 🏡🙏
Are you serious??? All of Junior's ideas are 100% opposite to those of his father. John and Bobby would weep if they heard what that maniac spouts.
Way ahead of your time and ours. Kennedy ❤️
6:51 We ought to live by this. The future belongs to those with the courage to fight for their dreams.
Wow. I haven't heard that in decades. Now with a lump in my throat. A loss for words.
A great posting!!! Wonderfully synchronised with world events, human history and activities that go alongside each part of this eulogy. Thank you for creating it and posting it!!!
Le plus émouvant discours de Ted, en cette occasion si triste .Merci
I cried so hard that day. We need Bobby back.
JFK wouldn't be bad either
@@BilalAhmad-ff3xq Ehh. He was over rated, he could've done better had he stayed in the Senate, the presidency was hard on him in more way than one.
@@neecicoleman1690 well the presidency was lethal to him & he did try to abolish the M.I.C & Fed reserve(which is apparently a private company managing the economy totally nothing weird there)
@@neecicoleman1690 I agree but from the height of power the suffering of others becomes... mangled, too confusing to solve.
@@BilalAhmad-ff3xq Yes, but it was never entirely impossible to accomplish from a position of power. Bobby literally traveled the world trying to help people, striking out against social injustices in an effective and moral way which is why I feel that we need him (or somebody like him) in today's society.
The way he held up when his voice started to shiver🫡
Brilliant speech!
If only leaders who want to be leaders. Believe in this virtue of being in power but in being in a servant to the people they lead ❤
Speaking from the heart. God bless all of you.
Brought me to tears. This is what I want for America, to help heal those who are hurt and comfort those who are suffering. we are all equal, we need to come together now, even if it means standing against the tide.❤️ these men were angels. As he said, it was often one person who made great change in the world as we see it today even if we think just one man cannot make a difference.
Beautiful! 🙏🏾🇺🇸
Spectacular. To survive into the future, humanity must survive itself. All men were created equal: An enduring dream, lives cut short by an assassin's gun. The dream remains, as the future begins each day. The Kennedy family reflected values that still resonate.
A time to remember this vision
Oh my goodness! I have never heard words be put together so eloquently about things that really matter to all of us, despite religion, race, gender and ideology
Please confirm this as having been a speech first given by Robert Kennedy in 1966 then used in it’s entirety by his brother, Edward M.Kennedy as the eulogy for Robert.
In all the years I have held the Kennedy brothers as my highest American ideals, I did not know, or remember this, and can think of no greater speech to confirm my opinion.
You can hear the break in his voice, just like during Reagan's greatest speech. You can feel the truth in what he said, truly moving.
And with his assassination went the last hope for America. The world is still feeling the effects of the murders of JFK, RFK, MLK….good men who tried to make the world better and safer.
And one of the most pathetic human beings on earth who shot Bobby Kennedy Saha Saha is still alive.
RFKjr24💗!! are you aware his son is running?
Thank you for sharing this, the greatest of the great speeches...I never heard this talk of JFK..so thanks again ❤
Glad you enjoyed it :)
one of greatest man that ever lived. rip. you are a heroe to humanity till time ends
This has to be the best speech of all time and amazing music ❤
The greatest Irish American. Shout out to him
Ah nevermind I thought it was JFK. RFK cool too though
I often watch this video late at night when writing speeches. I've cried many times.
RFK Jnr for President 2024.
Fun Fact: the music in the background is a track called “Red Glowing Dust” from the original soundtrack of the MMORPG EVE Online, made by composer Jón Hallur. I recognise it because I loved it when I played this game 20 years ago
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸This is RFK’s own words speaking to us ALL at his funeral. His brother Ted Kennedy is performing the eulogy and reading a speech RFK wrote in 1966 to South Africa. The Kennedy’s are America’s Treasured Bloodline.
RFK Jr. 2024❤️
That’s how I feel. I feel they are the old guard who was murdered and taken out precisely because they where men of The People.
Aaaaaaaaand you ruined it… RFK Jr. is running on his family name and staining its legacy
@@CowardlyCentrist24His father and Uncles are smiling down on junior with tears of pride in their eyes! Kennedy 2024❤️🇺🇸
@@loveofinquiry8067not according to the other Kennedy's. They released a statement the other week literally saying that RFK Jr. does _NOT_ reflect his father other than in name only. And I for one, agree with them. Whole heartedly
I wonder what the USA would be like today if he had been president for 8 years 💪🙏
Unbelievable speech … unbelievable..simply cried … Love ❤from Buffalo New York
