"My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world. As he said many times, in many parts of this nation, to those he touched and who sought to touch him: Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." End Quote..
That was the most beautiful eulogy ever. I don't know how he got through it. It was also so accurate; a good and decent man who wanted to right things and stop the war. He was a true American, but what I loved most was his big smile, his love for his kids and how humble he was. America would have been such a great country if JFK and Bobby could have been here.
Mark online I was in 5th grade the last day of class when he was shot . What you wrote was what I remember most of this eulogy. As an 11 year old it has stayed with me all these years. To see it again in its entirety makes me still want to 😢
MarkOnline as a 5th soon to be 6th grader when this happened one of my favorite songs from that year was Abraham,Martin and John by Dion. To listen to that song after hearing this incredible eulogy definitely breaks me down 😥
To those who say self serving little punk to those who saw a different man who emerged after JFK was slain, maybe it’s better we leave an imagined unrealised RFK presidency that we can imagine to have been… well, beautiful
@@mikebradshaw6484 ...says a no one who will be remembered by very few; who accomplished nothing to be remembered for. Unlike that “self serving punk”.
Moment that his voice shakes makes you remember that is his third and final brother... I have only one brother, older, and i don't know would i be able to do eulogy for him....
Remember wise words like these and meaningful memories that you had with your brother. Overlook his negatives and celebrate his positives. Speak from your heart with the integrity and love you feel for him. I had to give a eulogy for my grandfather two days ago. I’m twenty years old and I shed tears at the last paragraph. I don’t know if you’re a heavy crier, but try to hold it in as you speak. I know that sounds desperately hard but you want your point to reach those who watch, just as RFK wanted his emotional words to reach millions across the world
I was 19 when Bobby Kennedy was killed. I was planning on voting for him if he became the candidate. so like everyone else, I was crushed when he was killed
@@gretchenk.2516 I think that too now more than ever or he was drugged to have that accident in the first place.Or maybe it was planned by the Zionists already before he drove off with his late brother political assistant worker ! 😒🇺🇸🇲🇽🇮🇹
My wife & I courted & married in 1970. During, or shortly after our courtship, Ted Kennedy's emotional eulogy for brother Robert was replayed over the radio as I drove our vehicle on the highway to some destination. I glanced over to her upon completion of the eulogy, only to see tears streaming down both of her beautiful, wide cheeks. I was almost on the verge myself. We miss those who've had a great impact upon our lives, whether it be public or private life. The only way that I can express my wife's absence, within the context of this video, is to say that she's gone to join Abraham, Martin, & John. That sounds deliberately sappy & sentimental, but it's the only thing I thought of while typing this.
Thank you, Wayne for sharing that memory of your wife and of the possibilities for human beings who strive to become the best they can be. We do not often give ourselves the time to see what is ultimately the meaning of being alive. Your words brought that back to me -- I think of the departed souls that I knew. I am a better person for having known them.
Such a wonderful and eloquent eulogy, brings tears to your eyes. I was in my early twenties when RFK was killed, couldn't believe it, just a few months after MLK and 5 years after his brother JFK, such loss for my generation. We became what Tom Hayden said "a what if generation".
We all lost something with his death. It would be a different world today if he had carried out what he had inside of him to give. I mourn him to this day. What wisdom and class he exhibited to ALL people.
Your words " if he had carried out what he had inside of him to give'' are echoing and shine a light on what he had to give and what the World not just America but the world lost out on. I think the greatest misfortune of America for sure.
This was the greatest speech that Senator Kennedy ever gave. He was never in the position to top this one, but I am sure that he would have if the circumstance presented itself.
I have no idea how Ted even was able to do this. He had lost 3 older brothers at this point, all in a violent way, one in war, two assassinated. This is a stunning moment. Tears roll down every time I see this.
Just imagine having your oldest brother and one of your older sisters die when you were a kid, then having your oldest living brother get assassinated, then five years later your last living brother ends up getting assassinated too. Ted really went through some tough stuff. I feel terrible for him and the rest of the family including Jackie
I’m a lifelong democrat, I’ve watched this so many times now, and I always love the line “Some say things that were, and say why, I dream of things that never were, and say why not?” I want that so much for my generation! RIP RFK!!!
I have dug into the lives of JFK and RFK and wish they were alive today. Although I am a lifelong Republican, I have come to the belief that the Democrat Party was so different in the 60s.... A different, powerful party that was on the right side of history in so many ways....Caring for the less fortunate, but not beholden to the radical socialists that are currently yanking at it so forcefully today....yet neither were they beholden to the conservative, military fearmongering of their time. The Kennedy brothers weren't perfect, but they were intelligent, and even brilliant at times. We need more men like them today.
@@tribefan9112003 The modern Democratic Party is no more beholden to Radical Socialists than the Democrats of the 60s. You would do well to remember that Dr. King was a Socialist, that the Civil Rights Movement was a revolutionary movement, organized in part by a communist, gay, and black man, among other 'radicals.' You would do well to remember that on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial they demanded an 18$ minimum wage, adjusting for inflation. You would do well to remember that Democrats have always supported welfare since FDR. You would do well to remember the Great Society, the Fair Deal, the New Deal, and even Eisenhower's economic policies. The Republicans are the only ones beholden to radicals these days. And those radicals would stand in the schoolhouse door like Wallace did if they could.
@HowdyDo2 Jack Kennedy along with Ted Kennedy were 2 of the greatest orators. American politics has ever seen. Whether Ted wrote the words or not his poise and delivery on thar day gave the world something that will never be forgotten.
@@gregoryphillips3969 Ted was a flagrant drunk, and somehow or other he managed to drive a car off a bridge and kill a girl, and never report it to the police until some 8 hours later. That aside, it was indeed a touching eulogy that he read for his brother Robert. He did a great job in keeping a firm upper lip, even as it was obvious that he wanted to cry as you can hear the quivering in his voice. That all said, many people have had to do the same, but not in front of cameras, all around the world, every day, when one of their family members die and they have to say goodbye.
@HowdyDo2 l understand his moral transgressions all too well. The Ted Kennedy story is complicated to say the least. He did alot of things in the senate legislatively that were very significant. I have read several books on all of the Kennedys believe me more than most and yes there's alot of problems with Ted Kennedy l agree. But the eulogy isolated by itself to anyone listening is historical because of the way it and he Ted Kennedy reflected everyone's emotions on that day. Many knowing all of what Ted Kennedy was still acknowledge that eulogy and it's delivery in a way that stirs the emotions and reflects who his brother Robert F. Kennedy was. Anyone who is just listening in the moment without anything else entering in and tries to say what Ted Kennedy said about his brother wasn't incredibly impactful is not being honest on any human level.
@@gregoryphillips3969 Well, when you have an team of speech writers helping you write a eulogy, you tend to exceed what the average person says at someone else's funeral. They wrote something very good and very memorable; that's what they're paid to do. They were also the ones who wrote the other speeches you remember from the Kennedy's like “Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather ask what you can do for your country,” etc. That all aside, the Kennedy's would have been nobody's, had their father not been a criminal and a cheat. Aside from runnng moonshine during prohibition, Joe Kennedy ran pump and dump stock schemes. He was in cahoots with some writers across the country. They'd buy a ton of shares of some flim flam company back in the mid 1920's, then write a series of fake articles about them over months, such as "Looks like there could be a turnaround on this company", followed by another story of how "the stock jumped 3%" after people read the first story, followed by "they received an order from xyz company and their sales prospects are looking strong", and so forth. They'd whip the company's stock up to a fevered pitch by lying to the American public who put their hard earned dollars into making a better future for their familes, and then pull the rug out from them all by selling their shares at a high price. Joe Kennedy sold a lot just before the crash and was "again flush with fresh millions" while everyone else was destitute. Joe then used that money to elevate his children, putting them into "Hahvahd" University and getting them elected into positions of power, with John in the Senate. Joe later used the money he stole from the American public to pay writers to write positive articles about JFK leading up to the election against Nixon. They'd get $20 (equivalent to about $250 in today's money) to write positive articles about him. There's been accusations that the mob helped deliver a Kennedy election win in Chicago. The first thing Bobby Kennedy did when he got in office, was to go after the mob, which is maybe why JFK got shot and killed.
Teddy was as complex a person who ever lived. Many allow a single horrible decision, a single terrible choice, a single savage event to define him. Was he a great man or not? I can't answer that. YOU answer that. I just would like to say that THIS...was Teddy's finest moment. His words here...his love of his brothers and family should also help us define this man. We should all be so lucky to have a brother like Teddy to love us and eulogize us.
O.K., I’ll answer: No, he wasn’t a great man. He was a partisan hack. Ted Kennedy’s 1965 immigration act allowed the Democrats to start winning elections the same way they win recounts: by enlarging the pool of voters. Liberals couldn’t convince Americans to agree with them, but they happened to notice that the people of most other countries in the world already agreed with them. So Kennedy’s immigration act brought in millions of poverty-stricken foreigners to live off the American taxpayer and bloc-vote for the Democrats. That isn’t great. That’s an @hole. As complex a person who ever lived? How so?
@@vajaynunthandass676 He was a human being, fallible, at least once to the extreme. He was also surrounded by greatness, and it became part of him. No total devil, no total angel, just a man working through this world the best he could.
@@larrybrickey1133But not everyone has an absolute total devil in them. There's goodness in everyone, but not all of us share something so repulsive that is in many greedy people. If someone really wanted to fix the whole system, they wouldn't be voted for. I am absolutely convinced after all this time in our nation's history. You have to shake every henchman's hand. What I am saying is, not everyone keeps wars going on for stupid purpose. My opinion is they knew exactly what they were doing.
I’m a 36-year-old Nixon Republican and bawled my eyes out watching this eulogy. No matter our rivalries amidst the tumult, the man had just lost his brother, and it struck me. In spite of said RFK v Nixon rivalry, America was lesser upon losing RFK.
Completely agree. I've been a staunch conservative most of my life until I began to study the untold stories of John and Robert. It was a family full of tragedy, but there is something intangible about the brothers Ted lost. They were fiercely dedicated to the betterment and protection of those less fortunate. They were brilliant men and did amazing things in their short time on this earth. It was our great loss to have their lives snuffed out at such young ages. God rest their souls.
This man had to bury half of his family. Think about that. (Thank heavens he was already gone when his daughter passed. Kara's death would have killed him.)
Unfortunately the world has been falling apart ever since the apprentice stole the 2016 election from Hillary R. Clinton with the shady unfair help of Oxford Analylica.
I'm a Jamaican, and everytime I hear this speech, I can't help but cry.What a very touching speech from one brother to another brother. You could just feel the love he had for his brother in his voice. So ,so saaaaad.
I do too. It's hard to hold back my tears. Every word is priceless and so surreal!!! RFK should be president. There will never be another RFK. In fact all RFK speeches were so sympathetic to humankind. I read almost all hiis speeches. Nowadays, the presidential speech is to bite each other, or even use foul language instead of solving problems. So very sad a loss of the country and its fellow citizens.
After RFK's and JFK's assassinations, Ted lived with the fear that he too would meet a similar fate. Reportedly, there was letters threatening him if he ran for president.
He was going to run in 1980. (?) Apparently his mother flipped out on him when he announced to his family his intentions, and then his kids literally begged him not to run.
I have supreme respect for that man staying in the U.S. government for the rest of his life - the government who had bureaucrats who murdered his brothers and Congresspeople who covered it up - some of whom were rewarded with *the presidency* for their loyalty. The House Select Committee on Assassinations knew *damn well* that the Warren Commission report was complete baloney, and they actively suppressed information for decades. Speaking of the Warren Commission, Ted Kennedy had to sit through Gerald Ford’s presidency. He had to serve alongside Arlen Specter (single bullet theory guy) in the Senate for three decades (as a Pennsylvanian, I apologize). And Ted had to sit through George H.W. Bush’s presidency - on of the CIA agents on the scene at Dallas. Does it surprise anyone that Ted had a phase where he delved deep in alcohol? Heck, I would have become a recluse and just drowned in barrels.
The strength it must have took from far within for teddy to read this eulogy. My brother passed in February of this year and I'm still so distraught these some 4 months later that I wouldn't be able to do what Ted did here. Beautiful words to say farewell to a beautiful man.
Anytime I'm feeling down, or seem to have lost track of my goals I come back to this speech, and a couple of others by RFK. They remind me of what we can truly accomplish as a society when we refuse societal norms and go beyond what's expected for us to do. Brotherhood dies when compassion is forgotten.
Several years ago I was feeling down, discouraged by what I saw as a world in decline, compromised by the cold-blooded abuse of power and influence. I drove down a street that turned out to be a dead end. When I got to the turnaround I saw that someone had painted a message on the concrete culvert. It said: "Each time a man stands up for an ideal... he sends forth a ripple of hope." Those encouraging words come from Robert F. Kennedy's speech in Cape Town.
It’s impossible for me to watch this and not be moved tears. Especially since I have an older brother and can’t imagine having to deliver his eulogy, especially under the horrible circumstances Teddy faced. What an amazing speech and a truly courageous delivery by Ted Kennedy.
I do have tears in my eyes every time, Family is so important and i do hear Ted and i also think about my parents that has since past away, My thoughts go out to Ethel Kennedy , she is a saint
Great eulogy by Ted, can't believe he fit it all in just 5 minutes flat and said it without breaking down, cause I think he was on the brink of doing that. Gave so much information and was so articulate in just that small eulogy.
We Americans are most grateful to the Kennedy family for all their sacrifices for all of us and to our veterans too for their sacrifices for us and to defend our freedom in an effort not just to improve America and Americans but all of us on this small planet. We shall remember and honor them all until the end of time- Alan DiCara, Winchester, Connecticut
Oh dearest God has it been 54 years since we lost Bobby Kennedy. I was 6 years old and I can remember this event so well as the first major news event I would remember in detail even today I can feel the pain my mother felt when the news came that he was gone
He was an alcoholic who had an auto accident. If he wasn't from a famous family, nobody would have ever heard of this event. He did not "kill" Mary Jo, he had an accident. Bad things tend to happen when alcohol, cars and water are involved.
He saw hatred and tried to stop it, Saw war and tried to stop it, "Some men see things as they are, and say why? I dreamed things that never were and say, "Why not?" 🎵🎶 What....the world needs now. Is love sweet love, no not just for some.....But for Everyone!
Undoubtable the very best eulogy I have ever heard. Earl Spencer had a smashing speech as well for his sister, Lady Diana, and Abraham Lincoln mellowd hearts with his letter to Mrs Bixby, euloging her 5 boys killed in the Civil War. Outstanding!
I remember when Bobby was murdered. My mom had several of her friends over, watching the news. I'll never forget seeing for the first time adults crying uncontrollably, crying like children. I was so unnerved by it.
I guess I'm the only one who doesn't want to cry, but I'm so glad today that I can call his name as a banner to look at. Like a lighthouse in the ocean. It's great that he was once born and he thought the same way as my family had in those years.
RIP Joe, Jack, Robert & Ted Kennedy. Great men in history, world wide. Your legacy was cut short, but it lives longer than those who tried to stop it. Our children & their children's children will forever know the Kennedy history. Amen 🙏
Disgusted with this crime and more disgusted that for both brothers there continues to be no answers to fundamental questions as to who was behind these killings. Shame and disgust that strips us from every right and / or credibility to preach and lecture others about justice and open society. God bless the two great Brothers and give strength to Bobby’s son’s path to do many rights.
I watch this and remember. I listen to these words and wonder ... Where is this party today...a party once full of promise for the American people. The very establishment that ended the lives of these patriots John/Robert have become the masters of this once proud and strong party. "a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it." RIP
Forgive me, but I believe you just don't get it. This isn't about Sirhan or revenge or judgement - it's about the power and beauty of the words of a man who DOES get it. Listen again. Focus on the inspired sentiments of someone whose spirit walks among our better angels, who expresses the best of what we're called to be.
@@kenkordyback6725 You are correct in that it is not about Sirhan or revenge, but there is no crime in a democracy more heinous than a crime against democracy itself. Assassination of a political leader (a category broad enough to include civil right figures like MLK) strike at the very heart of a free people choosing the men and women who will lead them. When my comment was written, the parole body in California had voted to grant parole to Sirhan. Given the magnitude of what Sirhan took from our country in committing the heinous crime he committed, I believed and will always believe he should never walk as a free man.
Rest in Peace Bobby. You never fail to inspire us to make this world a better place. America needs more leaders with your wisdom, unceasing desire to help those in need, and willingness to say ‘why not’.
Teddy I still miss you & your brother's as well. Ted you were the 1st US Senator to endorse the young Senator from Illinois Mr Obama & for that too I've always been grateful. God bless you & your family always.
@@GoGreen1977 I was just starting my junior year of high school. I remember watching the train. People were standing along side the tracks paying their respects. All different ages, colors and religions. It made my heart hurt, and today when I think about it my heart still hurts. He was a "good and decent man".
Although I despise Teddy, this was beautiful eulogy. Heartfelt, moving, and with that touch of poetry the Kennedys could so effortlessly work into casual conversation.
@@majerstud I like John, but Robert is my favorite. I think Ted really could've done good but 2 things got in his way. 1 obviously he should've been jailed for Chappaquiddick. I don't like him solely because of this. 2 I don't even think he wanted to be in politics. He honest to god doesn't look or act like someone remotely interested in it. I think it was a profession he was forced into by his father, stayed in for a while "but only in the back seat cause it was Bobby and John's thing" and continued out of obligation cause he was the last one. I think this is best demonstrated by his 1980 run when that guy asks him why he wants to be president and he just falls apart.
Moved that much of this eulogy consisted of Teddy reading an extended excerpt from RFK's "Ripples of Hope" speech delivered at the University of Cape Town in 1966, when I was a teenager living nearby in Cape Town, during some of apartheid's darkest days. That speech had a great impact on young people trying to resist apartheid (the student leader Ian Robertson who had invited Bobby had been banned the day before by the apartheid regime and couldn't attend), and inspired the movement for years thereafter. This is the most famous part of the speech, parts of which are engraved in Bobby's gravesite at Arlington National Cementry: "Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
The strength of this man to be able to speak as he did here, after losing both his brothers. I believe he atoned for his big error in life. This is the one of the most courageous speeches ever spoken.
I was not a Ted Kennedy fan. This is one of the greatest orations ever given in American history. For this eulogy alone I love Ted Kennedy and I honor him. I will forever remember this speech when I think of him and his entire family. And for this eulogy I cannot forget a dream that was once America.
Hearing Ted's voice shaking when he speaks about his dead brother transports me to the day that my elder sister died. I can really understand Ted's suffering at this moment
I was 10 yrs old when this happened, We as a family lived literally thru the 60's IN WASHINGTON DC,! I was 5 1/2 when his brother was taken out so brutally in Dallas, I remember this speech ,in '68,I remember Ted's Voice trembling, I havent seen this in ages, MY eyes are still watered, I sat hear and hard cried all over again, I Never forgot what RFK said, his great quote, and I Never forgot this eulogy. Robert F. Kennedy I will always always Love you, and your Brother for the Light you tried to bring to this world , and IT WILL come to pass in this 21st century it will come to pass.. God Bless America,God Bless YOU,where are you are ,I Know its in THE LIGHT. Keith Mc.
The Kennedys is an Institution of on going good nature, healthy competion and strong believe in freedom and peace. Let that never faulter in our hearts for that was also our founding father's beliefs! Yes! nothing lasts for ever but don't you ever provoke the oppressed!
As I look back on all said and done by the Kennedys throughout their efforts I sense a cruel reality by a majority and a respect by the few that continue to REMENBER and value their worth while on this earth! I to be of those few I say THANK YOU to the Kennedy's For my freedom For I became that they always dreamed , A good american . And yet although I was not wanted by the opposition ; I say this on to them. "It was not your choice but my destiny!" And so it has been so for 62 years! Thank you and my deepest respect to the Kennedys their ongoing losses! Justice must prevail over the persistent beating from absconded forces that surrounds them! We the few are by their side and in our hearts we are many! Godspeed on to the Kennedys always!
I am an empath. I have adored Bobby since I was 4.I'm 60 now. At my funeral,I'd like to be remembered as 'a good and decent woman who saw suffering and tried to heal it.'
I saw the clips of that assassination...tore me apart. 1st time I heard the eulogy. Made me cry. The years that have passed and the past memories of nonsense. 😢

But what an awesome speech. They were all so articulate, well-read, and eloquent.
This was the greatest speech that Senator Kennedy ever gave. He was never in the position to top this one, but I am sure that he would have if the circumstance presented itself.
I don't think many people in the world can top this.
I agree but no doubt he got a lot of help to write this speech don't you think? They all have speech writers...
He was an american hero goddamnit.
He couldve ran for prez in 72 the party urged him to but he refused understandably he coukdve had more opportunities to top this
God I would hope there would or could not be a reason to do better speech.
If Mary Joe's family forgives him I would.
I have no idea how Ted even was able to do this. He had lost 3 older brothers at this point, all in a violent way, one in war, two assassinated. This is a stunning moment. Tears roll down every time I see this.
And he killed someone. Her family must be distraught
It’s August 10, 2024 and the tears flow listening to this .
Just imagine having your oldest brother and one of your older sisters die when you were a kid, then having your oldest living brother get assassinated, then five years later your last living brother ends up getting assassinated too. Ted really went through some tough stuff. I feel terrible for him and the rest of the family including Jackie
Nobody deserves that kind of tragedy in their life
Let's not forget Mary Jo,
@@peterfranks6243 Why? Ted did.
@@bocabec6744 absolutely right

I’m a lifelong democrat, I’ve watched this so many times now, and I always love the line “Some say things that were, and say why, I dream of things that never were, and say why not?” I want that so much for my generation! RIP RFK!!!
I'm a lifelong republican and I agree
I have dug into the lives of JFK and RFK and wish they were alive today. Although I am a lifelong Republican, I have come to the belief that the Democrat Party was so different in the 60s.... A different, powerful party that was on the right side of history in so many ways....Caring for the less fortunate, but not beholden to the radical socialists that are currently yanking at it so forcefully today....yet neither were they beholden to the conservative, military fearmongering of their time. The Kennedy brothers weren't perfect, but they were intelligent, and even brilliant at times. We need more men like them today.
@@tribefan9112003 The modern Democratic Party is no more beholden to Radical Socialists than the Democrats of the 60s. You would do well to remember that Dr. King was a Socialist, that the Civil Rights Movement was a revolutionary movement, organized in part by a communist, gay, and black man, among other 'radicals.'
You would do well to remember that on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial they demanded an 18$ minimum wage, adjusting for inflation. You would do well to remember that Democrats have always supported welfare since FDR. You would do well to remember the Great Society, the Fair Deal, the New Deal, and even Eisenhower's economic policies.
The Republicans are the only ones beholden to radicals these days.
And those radicals would stand in the schoolhouse door like Wallace did if they could.
Now a Kennedy is running for president again in 2024 ! 😟🇺🇸🇮🇹🇲🇽
Still the most beautiful words ever spoken by one man about another. Truly historic, this effort won't be equaled.
I'm sure one of their speech writers wrote them for him. Ted simply had to go out and read it.
@HowdyDo2 Jack Kennedy along with Ted Kennedy were 2 of the greatest orators. American politics has ever seen. Whether Ted wrote the words or not his poise and delivery on thar day gave the world something that will never be forgotten.
@@gregoryphillips3969 Ted was a flagrant drunk, and somehow or other he managed to drive a car off a bridge and kill a girl, and never report it to the police until some 8 hours later. That aside, it was indeed a touching eulogy that he read for his brother Robert. He did a great job in keeping a firm upper lip, even as it was obvious that he wanted to cry as you can hear the quivering in his voice. That all said, many people have had to do the same, but not in front of cameras, all around the world, every day, when one of their family members die and they have to say goodbye.
@HowdyDo2 l understand his moral transgressions all too well. The Ted Kennedy story is complicated to say the least. He did alot of things in the senate legislatively that were very significant.
I have read several books on all of the Kennedys believe me more than most and yes there's alot of problems with Ted Kennedy l agree.
But the eulogy isolated by itself to anyone listening is historical because of the way it and he Ted Kennedy reflected everyone's emotions on that day.
Many knowing all of what Ted Kennedy was still acknowledge that eulogy and it's delivery in a way that stirs the emotions and reflects who his brother Robert F. Kennedy was.
Anyone who is just listening in the moment without anything else entering in and tries to say what Ted Kennedy said about his brother wasn't incredibly impactful is not being honest on any human level.
@@gregoryphillips3969 Well, when you have an team of speech writers helping you write a eulogy, you tend to exceed what the average person says at someone else's funeral. They wrote something very good and very memorable; that's what they're paid to do. They were also the ones who wrote the other speeches you remember from the Kennedy's like “Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather ask what you can do for your country,” etc.
That all aside, the Kennedy's would have been nobody's, had their father not been a criminal and a cheat. Aside from runnng moonshine during prohibition, Joe Kennedy ran pump and dump stock schemes. He was in cahoots with some writers across the country. They'd buy a ton of shares of some flim flam company back in the mid 1920's, then write a series of fake articles about them over months, such as "Looks like there could be a turnaround on this company", followed by another story of how "the stock jumped 3%" after people read the first story, followed by "they received an order from xyz company and their sales prospects are looking strong", and so forth. They'd whip the company's stock up to a fevered pitch by lying to the American public who put their hard earned dollars into making a better future for their familes, and then pull the rug out from them all by selling their shares at a high price. Joe Kennedy sold a lot just before the crash and was "again flush with fresh millions" while everyone else was destitute.
Joe then used that money to elevate his children, putting them into "Hahvahd" University and getting them elected into positions of power, with John in the Senate. Joe later used the money he stole from the American public to pay writers to write positive articles about JFK leading up to the election against Nixon. They'd get $20 (equivalent to about $250 in today's money) to write positive articles about him.
There's been accusations that the mob helped deliver a Kennedy election win in Chicago. The first thing Bobby Kennedy did when he got in office, was to go after the mob, which is maybe why JFK got shot and killed.
I tear up during this eulogy. In my mind it is the greatest eulogy of all times
I agree
Me, too, along with Earl Spencer’s eulogy for his late sister, Diana, Princess of Wales.
@@blancamarquez8697 so true, these two eulogies are the very best I have ever heard too. Praise to them!
Surely and personally, one of the most powerful statements I've ever heard.....
R I P Bobby. One day, I will teach my son and daughter about who you are, and what you've done to embrace the humanity!
Teddy was as complex a person who ever lived. Many allow a single horrible decision, a single terrible choice, a single savage event to define him. Was he a great man or not? I can't answer that. YOU answer that.
I just would like to say that THIS...was Teddy's finest moment. His words here...his love of his brothers and family should also help us define this man. We should all be so lucky to have a brother like Teddy to love us and eulogize us.
O.K., I’ll answer: No, he wasn’t a great man. He was a partisan hack.
Ted Kennedy’s 1965 immigration act allowed the Democrats to start winning elections the same way they win recounts: by enlarging the pool of voters. Liberals couldn’t convince Americans to agree with them, but they happened to notice that the people of most other countries in the world already agreed with them. So Kennedy’s immigration act brought in millions of poverty-stricken foreigners to live off the American taxpayer and bloc-vote for the Democrats.
That isn’t great. That’s an @hole.
As complex a person who ever lived? How so?
My answer is -he was great indeed.
@@vajaynunthandass676 He was a human being, fallible, at least once to the extreme. He was also surrounded by greatness, and it became part of him. No total devil, no total angel, just a man working through this world the best he could.
@@larrybrickey1133But not everyone has an absolute total devil in them. There's goodness in everyone, but not all of us share something so repulsive that is in many greedy people. If someone really wanted to fix the whole system, they wouldn't be voted for. I am absolutely convinced after all this time in our nation's history. You have to shake every henchman's hand. What I am saying is, not everyone keeps wars going on for stupid purpose. My opinion is they knew exactly what they were doing.
I’m a 36-year-old Nixon Republican and bawled my eyes out watching this eulogy. No matter our rivalries amidst the tumult, the man had just lost his brother, and it struck me. In spite of said RFK v Nixon rivalry, America was lesser upon losing RFK.
Ted Kennedy's immigration Bill is the reason the USA will come apart
Completely agree. I've been a staunch conservative most of my life until I began to study the untold stories of John and Robert. It was a family full of tragedy, but there is something intangible about the brothers Ted lost. They were fiercely dedicated to the betterment and protection of those less fortunate. They were brilliant men and did amazing things in their short time on this earth. It was our great loss to have their lives snuffed out at such young ages. God rest their souls.
I bawled my eyes out when I heard the eulogy as it happened . I will never ever get over the loss of this man
I'm a former centre right Clinton democrat and I'll vote for him or for Trump ! 👍🇺🇸🇮🇹🇲🇽
Do you actually support Nixon? Or do you support that general country club Republican policy?
Still brings tears to my eyes and probably always will
This man had to bury half of his family. Think about that. (Thank heavens he was already gone when his daughter passed. Kara's death would have killed him.)
Every single one of his brothers! Some kind of a Kennedy curse?
Sometimes you reap what you sow ask Mary’s family about this elitist.
@@waggitnshaggit6592 Whole family was dirty
He was at his nephews funeral too. JFK junior.
@@beachbum1523 No.
I revisit this when ever I need hope that the world is not falling apart.
Unfortunately the world has been falling apart ever since the apprentice stole the 2016 election from Hillary R. Clinton with the shady unfair help of Oxford Analylica.
For me Algerian citizen, Mr Robert Francis Kennedy is a lesson of courage and honesty I never never forget him.
I'm a Jamaican, and everytime I hear this speech, I can't help but cry.What a very touching speech from one brother to another brother. You could just feel the love he had for his brother in his voice. So ,so saaaaad.
Same
I do too. It's hard to hold back my tears. Every word is priceless and so surreal!!! RFK should be president. There will never be another RFK. In fact all RFK speeches were so sympathetic to humankind. I read almost all hiis speeches. Nowadays, the presidential speech is to bite each other, or even use foul language instead of solving problems. So very sad a loss of the country and its fellow citizens.
I admire Sen Kennedy for his strength to get through this difficult public eulogy. His voice cracked but never broke.
After RFK's and JFK's assassinations, Ted lived with the fear that he too would meet a similar fate. Reportedly, there was letters threatening him if he ran for president.
He was going to run in 1980. (?) Apparently his mother flipped out on him when he announced to his family his intentions, and then his kids literally begged him not to run.
Ted lived under a lot of stress and threats that he would be killed. He had a remarkable career and he will be missed.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 And then there was Chappaquiddick, which also ruined his chances of ever being nominated, much less being elected.
I have supreme respect for that man staying in the U.S. government for the rest of his life - the government who had bureaucrats who murdered his brothers and Congresspeople who covered it up - some of whom were rewarded with *the presidency* for their loyalty.
The House Select Committee on Assassinations knew *damn well* that the Warren Commission report was complete baloney, and they actively suppressed information for decades.
Speaking of the Warren Commission, Ted Kennedy had to sit through Gerald Ford’s presidency. He had to serve alongside Arlen Specter (single bullet theory guy) in the Senate for three decades (as a Pennsylvanian, I apologize). And Ted had to sit through George H.W. Bush’s presidency - on of the CIA agents on the scene at Dallas.
Does it surprise anyone that Ted had a phase where he delved deep in alcohol? Heck, I would have become a recluse and just drowned in barrels.
@@xxwhispersxx2856 True. His mother did not want him to run for President.
I feel John, and Bobby truly wanted to change things, and they were truly American.
The strength it must have took from far within for teddy to read this eulogy. My brother passed in February of this year and I'm still so distraught these some 4 months later that I wouldn't be able to do what Ted did here. Beautiful words to say farewell to a beautiful man.
My sincere condolences. May he Rest In Peace.

Anytime I'm feeling down, or seem to have lost track of my goals I come back to this speech, and a couple of others by RFK. They remind me of what we can truly accomplish as a society when we refuse societal norms and go beyond what's expected for us to do. Brotherhood dies when compassion is forgotten.
Americsn hero goddamnit
Several years ago I was feeling down, discouraged by what I saw as a world in decline, compromised by the cold-blooded abuse of power and influence. I drove down a street that turned out to be a dead end. When I got to the turnaround I saw that someone had painted a message on the concrete culvert. It said: "Each time a man stands up for an ideal... he sends forth a ripple of hope." Those encouraging words come from Robert F. Kennedy's speech in Cape Town.
I could listen to this repeatedly. A could lesson for all of us. RIP great man
Ted Kennedy delivered here. Perhaps his finest hour.
When you become powerful enough to change the world for the better you inevitably gain enemies. RIP RFK.
It’s impossible for me to watch this and not be moved tears. Especially since I have an older brother and can’t imagine having to deliver his eulogy, especially under the horrible circumstances Teddy faced. What an amazing speech and a truly courageous delivery by Ted Kennedy.
R I P Bobby, you were far ahead of your time.
I do have tears in my eyes every time, Family is so important and i do hear Ted and i also think about my parents that has since past away, My thoughts go out to Ethel Kennedy , she is a saint
Great eulogy by Ted, can't believe he fit it all in just 5 minutes flat and said it without breaking down, cause I think he was on the brink of doing that. Gave so much information and was so articulate in just that small eulogy.
The most sincere and heartfelt of any Kennedy speech.
Lost 3 brothers and a sister. Such a strong man Ted was having had to carry that for the rest of his life.
His father died 18 months later
@@Thebeatles19632 that shit is extremely painful
We Americans are most grateful to the Kennedy family for all their sacrifices for all of us and to our veterans too for their sacrifices for us and to defend our freedom in an effort not just to improve America and Americans but all of us on this small planet. We shall remember and honor them all until the end of time- Alan DiCara, Winchester, Connecticut
This beautiful eulogy is so heartrending . What great orators the Kennedys were.
May they all Rest in peace.
56 years have past. Those of us who witnessed this cannot forget the pain.
Gut wrenching. I was only one year old and don't remember much of 1968.
Rest In Peace to the Kennedy Brother's and family no longer here with us.
Oh dearest God has it been 54 years since we lost Bobby Kennedy. I was 6 years old and I can remember this event so well as the first major news event I would remember in detail even today I can feel the pain my mother felt when the news came that he was gone
The quivering of the voice in the end. We miss you Ted.
LOL
Do you Miss Mary Jo?
Shut up you senseless bitch
@@gailgruenburg6477 he drowned Mary Jo he should have been in prison for murder
He was an alcoholic who had an auto accident. If he wasn't from a famous family, nobody would have ever heard of this event. He did not "kill" Mary Jo, he had an accident. Bad things tend to happen when alcohol, cars and water are involved.
He saw hatred and tried to stop it, Saw war and tried to stop it, "Some men see things as they are, and say why? I dreamed things that never were and say, "Why not?" 🎵🎶 What....the world needs now. Is love sweet love, no not just for some.....But for Everyone!
Undoubtable the very best eulogy I have ever heard. Earl Spencer had a smashing speech as well for his sister, Lady Diana, and Abraham Lincoln mellowd hearts with his letter to Mrs Bixby, euloging her 5 boys killed in the Civil War. Outstanding!
I remember when Bobby was murdered. My mom had several of her friends over, watching the news. I'll never forget seeing for the first time adults crying uncontrollably, crying like children. I was so unnerved by it.
I guess I'm the only one who doesn't want to cry, but I'm so glad today that I can call his name as a banner to look at. Like a lighthouse in the ocean. It's great that he was once born and he thought the same way as my family had in those years.
RIP Joe, Jack, Robert & Ted Kennedy. Great men in history, world wide. Your legacy was cut short, but it lives longer than those who tried to stop it. Our children & their children's children will forever know the Kennedy history. Amen 🙏
Disgusted with this crime and more disgusted that for both brothers there continues to be no answers to fundamental questions as to who was behind these killings. Shame and disgust that strips us from every right and / or credibility to preach and lecture others about justice and open society. God bless the two great Brothers and give strength to Bobby’s son’s path to do many rights.
Rest in peace Robert F. Kennedy, John F. Kennedy, and Ted Kennedy.
Yes absolutely
Ted Kennedy's ex-wife Joan is still surviving. 😢 at age 83
I was 17 when I watched this in real time. Deeply stirring and unforgettable.
Such a beautiful eulogy from Ted Kennedy
Here we see flowing in close harmony; a friend, a brother and a patriot. Grieving the loss of a friend, of a brother and of a statesman.
I watch this and remember. I listen to these words and wonder ... Where is this party today...a party once full of promise for the American people. The very establishment that ended the lives of these patriots John/Robert have become the masters of this once proud and strong party. "a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it." RIP
I do not know how many times I listened to it and how many times water dropped from my eyes.. love 💕 from Buffalo New York
Captures RFK perfectly. We lost so much when he was killed. Sirhan must never be free.
Forgive me, but I believe you just don't get it. This isn't about Sirhan or revenge or judgement - it's about the power and beauty of the words of a man who DOES get it. Listen again. Focus on the inspired sentiments of someone whose spirit walks among our better angels, who expresses the best of what we're called to be.
@@kenkordyback6725 You are correct in that it is not about Sirhan or revenge, but there is no crime in a democracy more heinous than a crime against democracy itself. Assassination of a political leader (a category broad enough to include civil right figures like MLK) strike at the very heart of a free people choosing the men and women who will lead them. When my comment was written, the parole body in California had voted to grant parole to Sirhan. Given the magnitude of what Sirhan took from our country in committing the heinous crime he committed, I believed and will always believe he should never walk as a free man.
Sorry but Sirhan did not kill RFK. He was merely a patsy.
@@TonyTars Yeah, that gun in his hand was licorice, like in Adam’s Rib.
@@paulgutermann8413 the kill shot came from behind. sS was standing in front. Like JFK there were multiple shooters.

Rest in Peace Bobby. You never fail to inspire us to make this world a better place. America needs more leaders with your wisdom, unceasing desire to help those in need, and willingness to say ‘why not’.
John and Robert Kenney were for the people. they are solely missed especially with today's political market. ❤❤🙏🙏
Now a Kennedy is running for president in America ! 😟🇺🇸🇮🇹🇲🇽

Probably the toughest thing to do is give a eulogy for the Brother You Love so Much and will Never feel his Warm embrace again in this Lifetime!
Senator Edward Kennedy in his youth was absolutely beautiful.
I hear this and think of what could have been and weep for my country.
This reminds me when my older sister died. I really miss her, so much as Ted Kennedy missed Jack and Bobby

Things started going downhill when JFK was assassinated. We never recovered.
I haven't recovered. I was just shy of my 13th birthday. I still ask myself "what if...?" 1968 was a tough year.
@@GoGreen1977 I was just starting my junior year of high school. I remember watching the train. People were standing along side the tracks paying their respects.

'The same short moment of life'. Still one of the most powerful eulogies ever recorded.
Brought tears to my eyes.... so many losses in that family who tried to do good for our nation.
We were blessed to have had RFK even for a brief period. RIP, my friend.
One of the best speeches of any genre. Teddy had lost all his brothers
Although I despise Teddy, this was beautiful eulogy. Heartfelt, moving, and with that touch of poetry the Kennedys could so effortlessly work into casual conversation.
@@jimmeale3218 - I'm all broken up about that.
@@majerstud I like John, but Robert is my favorite. I think Ted really could've done good but 2 things got in his way. 1 obviously he should've been jailed for Chappaquiddick. I don't like him solely because of this. 2 I don't even think he wanted to be in politics. He honest to god doesn't look or act like someone remotely interested in it. I think it was a profession he was forced into by his father, stayed in for a while "but only in the back seat cause it was Bobby and John's thing" and continued out of obligation cause he was the last one. I think this is best demonstrated by his 1980 run when that guy asks him why he wants to be president and he just falls apart.
@@rfkwouldvebeenaok1008 - that is an excellent summary.
Why did you despise Teddy so?
@@crltnmbr1 -start with Chappaquiddick and go from there.
The spirit lives eternally
Moved that much of this eulogy consisted of Teddy reading an extended excerpt from RFK's "Ripples of Hope" speech delivered at the University of Cape Town in 1966, when I was a teenager living nearby in Cape Town, during some of apartheid's darkest days. That speech had a great impact on young people trying to resist apartheid (the student leader Ian Robertson who had invited Bobby had been banned the day before by the apartheid regime and couldn't attend), and inspired the movement for years thereafter. This is the most famous part of the speech, parts of which are engraved in Bobby's gravesite at Arlington National Cementry: "Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
The strength of this man to be able to speak as he did here, after losing both his brothers. I believe he atoned for his big error in life. This is the one of the most courageous speeches ever spoken.
I was not a Ted Kennedy fan. This is one of the greatest orations ever given in American history. For this eulogy alone I love Ted Kennedy and I honor him. I will forever remember this speech when I think of him and his entire family. And for this eulogy I cannot forget a dream that was once America.
RFK jr is an amazing man who cares about uniting this country
he's confused!

I can really understand Ted's suffering at this moment
I was 10 yrs old when this happened, We as a family lived literally thru the 60's IN WASHINGTON DC,!

Una bellissima lettera per suo fratello Robert kennedy😥😥😥
The Kennedys is an Institution of on going good nature, healthy competion and strong believe in freedom and peace. Let that never faulter in our hearts for that was also our founding father's beliefs! Yes! nothing lasts for ever but don't you ever provoke the oppressed!
As I look back on all said and done by the Kennedys throughout their efforts I sense a cruel reality by a majority and a respect by the few that continue to REMENBER and value their worth while on this earth! I to be of those few I say THANK YOU to the Kennedy's For my freedom For I became that they always dreamed , A good american . And yet although I was not wanted by the opposition ; I say this on to them. "It was not your choice but my destiny!" And so it has been so for 62 years! Thank you and my deepest respect to the Kennedys their ongoing losses! Justice must prevail over the persistent beating from absconded forces that surrounds them! We the few are by their side and in our hearts we are many! Godspeed on to the Kennedys always!
Wow!! Mr and Mrs Kennedy did a great job. And gave so much!
" they" killed these two great leaders, but their legacies will last forever...
We need to embrace that message today more than ever!
Tears. Every time.
Unforgettable. Moving, touching, and wise.
I am an empath. I have adored Bobby since I was 4.I'm 60 now.
At my funeral,I'd like to be remembered as 'a good and decent woman who saw suffering and tried to heal it.'
bobby,will never be forgotten.
