Today is the anniversary of your father's assassination, Robert F. Kennedy, and I've
00:10
been thinking about that a lot, and I'm wondering, looking back, how you think your views align
00:19
or don't align with your dad's?
00:22
My view is that my issues that I believe in and the issues that I'm arguing about on this
00:29
campaign against the war, about rebuilding the middle class, about protecting the Constitution
00:35
and the First Amendment, about trying to achieve the American dream for every American, all
00:40
of the issues that I feel strongly about are issues that my father also felt strongly about.
00:46
I think my campaign is, in many ways, identical to his, if you just went down the issues and
00:53
checked the boxes.
00:55
The same is true of President Kennedy, my uncle, but there may be people who disagree
01:00
with me about that.
01:04
What Secretary Seward said when President Lincoln died, he said he belongs to the ages
01:12
now.
01:13
So I know people have different opinions about what my father and my uncle would have stood
01:18
for, but I've spent a lifetime studying their records and understanding them because
01:25
it's part of my own understanding of myself, and I'm very comfortable with their values.
01:32
I feel a great admiration for both of them for what they tried to do for our country,
01:38
and I feel like my life has been devoted to achieving those same objectives.
01:46
I have the same vision for America as they did.
