here's bob kennedy advising john doerr of the justice department how to handle george wallace. here he is, bob kennedy. >> i would take it to almost dismiss him as being a second rate figure. >> amazing thing to have a brother who is willing to be your enforcer. >> that's what bobby did. there he is. and they're bothered, wallace is driving them crazy. he won't take their calls. he won't meet bobby kennedy. there he is down in alabama standing in the door of the university against those, the two students in the car unable to register. they say why do we have to deal with this guy? he's on the wrong side of history. we know he is. they will face him down later in the afternoon. jfk will issue an executive order. they'll call the national guard, move him out of there and they won't waste a crisis, which is why he'll go on the air and announce in that extraordinary speech. >> great to have aggressive federal government who knows what it's doing. right out of the gate this year hillary clinton is calling out her republican opponents to restrict access to the ballot box. here she is

i wrote a kennedy biography, the kennedy machine was tough. bobat -- bobby kennedy did more wiretapping than nixon. it wasn't like the presidency was innocent and all of a sudden there came evil nixon. executive power was concentrated, in the 50's and 60's, in the white house. the rules about wiretapping were blurry at best. the effort -- the fbi was happy to be an instrument of the white house and spy on the president's enemies. mix it was not the first guy. -- nixon was not the first guy. the fbi got out of the business for working for the president doing this bugging. hoover said, we will not do it anymore. hoover, he could feel the lawsuits coming on. the warren court was a more liberal era. the roles were about to change. what does that mean? nixon goes in house. he creates the plumbers. in-house capabilities to spy. unfortunately, the people his aides hired, hunt and the lady -- and liddy, were not that competent. but's reputation was pretty bad. he was one of the chief plumbers. g gordon liddy was a call -- a colorful figure but kind of a s

. >> pelley: in 1996, the singer sam and dave did not appreciate bob dole tinkering with their song "soul man." in 1960, john kennedy and sang it. and as for the donald trump song that was premiered yesterday with the trump campaign, jan crawford tells us it may have cost him the young vote. >> reporter: for donald trump is may have seemed like the perfect song for a presidential announcement. ♪ keep on rockin' in the free world ♪ >> reporter: a classic anthem about freedom, but neil young was not happy trump used the song "rockin' in the free world" and this afternoon put out a lengthy statement on facebook saying: i make my music for people not candidates. in every presidential campaign you can count on a dust-up between the musician and the politician. ♪ born in the u.s. ♪ >> reporter: going back to when ronald reagan embraisd brucebruce springsteen's famous song "born in the u.s.a." and springsteen mocked him for it. rare is the republican candidate who isn't told to stop the music. even if, like trump they paid licensing fees. jim mclaughlin is a g.o.p. strategist. why is it it's always republicans who are gett

bob reported from dallas that terrible weekend president kennedy was assassinateed. at that time he was with the fort worth star telegram. he was a cbs pentagon correspondent and congressional correspondent and white house correspondent and chief washington correspondent. he anchored the "cbs evening news" at a time of transition and turmoil at the network. for 24 years he has moderated "face the nation" which has become more popular every year bob ran the show. he tried to retire before several times. cbs begged him to stay. that's an impressive run by anyone's standards all the more so considering bob is probably the most respected and popular reporter in the country. familiarity might not always breed contempt, but it's certainly not a guarantee of enduring public admiration except in bob's case. the public's regard for bob schieffer never seemed to waiver or -- waver or even level off. he grew in stature the longer his career lasted. not many of us can say that, mr. president. the secret to his success i suspect is pretty simple. americans just like bob schieffer

sincerely, elizabeth trackler samantha parke robert kennedy deanna morrison jared duemling alex payne >> that's our bobding into a giant pool. no water in that pool. it was filled with 700 gallons every red jello. it was part of the 2015 olympics in northeast philadelphia the event raises money for the kids and hope foundation to benefit the children's seashore house chop last year's event raised more than $21,000. >> you know whale ' do here? shake it off. do my taylor swift. that's the judging table there. i don't think the judges were getting wet enough. >> based on? >> look they were judged on their form. >> yes? >> splash and their costumes. >> did you make a big splash? >> not as big as big splash as other folks t reminded me of let's make a deal, the kids adults, came dress philadelphia costumes for chance to slide down into the jello. >> you should have done the jello in a speedo. >> for a speedo owe. >> see the red tint to my head? my contact were red when i took them out last night from the jello. great time northeast philadelphia great time. up there in northeast philadelphia last night. >>

bob? >> it's interesting. you know, rick ansantorum said john f. kennedy'sd state made him want to vomit. this is not exactly bill nie the science guy and when the pope comes out for attacking same-sex marriage or legal apportion, rah, r hrksah go get home. it's time to, you know put duct tape over his mouth. >> yeah you know given what rob was saying there, what do you make of the fact people of faith have a problem of seeing the envier mronment as a moral issue? >> it's why we talk about sheep quite a bit. they say that they sup poor jesus but reality, a lot of folks have a bible and the golden calf and the book of revolution duct taped to a left behind book and that's as deep as it gets. we're called on in the bible to be good stewards of the environment and earth. this planet getting to live here is a blessing so the notion that pollution is okay if profits are threatened goes against everything jesus and god talk about in the book. >> yeah that's profits p-r-o-f-i-t-s. >> if caitlyn jenner wants to be safe and have a prosperous economy, vote for me. i h

bob -- muck. it was more than that that perforated -- persuaded president kennedy to pull the plug. that time, most of his ambassadors i can read about the inability to cooperate or coordinate the policy. of kennedy galbraith they told the president it's not working. when kennedy saw that picture in the washington post and said to henry cabot, go out there and make sure this doesn't happen again, the picture sparked his decision. it wasn't the picture, really that made him do it. i can go through other photos that came at a critical time. bob: but just to underline that we didn't understand what was happening, we didn't know what was going on. it was 1963 that secretary of defense mcnamara went over there and he said we will have this done by 1965. i got there in 1965, at the beginning of the buildup, by the next year there were 400,000 troops. we simply did not understand what we had gotten ourselves involved in. it was at that time, there was only one legitimate scholar. a vietnamese whose discipline was the vietnam. in the united states. just one. peter: bernard paul? bob: yes, a

bob: no. i don't think so. roberts is playing a subtle game here about being in control and not letting the center -- there are not too many center justices -- maybe kennedytake control. they do to a certain extent. roberts is a conservative. if you had former president george w. bush on truth serum and said, "do you think this decision makes sense"?" i think he would say yes. no one wanted to blow up the health care system, and in a sense that is what roberts is saying here. john: he is taking grief from his old friends on the right. my question to you, there are many more where justices have ended up being different than people expected them to be. sometimes the presidents regret it. do these justices change? does the court change them or is it just the times that change around them? bob: both, obviously. look what has happened here. roberts may be getting some grief from the right wing on this, but his argument is wait a minute, we are letting the legislature decide. he dug into the law in a rather sophisticated way and said, this is what they meant. he quotes an old 1939 decision saying it is risky to get into this area of interpreting the law because

. >> and currently teaches at harvard kennedy school of government and also a cnn national security analyst and good to see you both. so bob, the fact that this suspect wanted to behead somebody, it has to be especially troubling to law enforcement. >> exactly, anderson. with a knife like that you can take down a police officer. you attack from the back in their cars. any number of ways they're easy to get, they're not registered. low technology is an islamic state tactic and don't forget the propaganda value of killing a police officer would be enormous in this country. so this was, for them a very important attack. and they don't mind the attacker dying in this it's an act of martyrdom. >> it is really interesting, juliet because in some ways as bob was saying, low tech a very simple kind of attack but the kind of repercussions of it would be huge. we saw this in the united kingdom when a british soldier was killed, pretty much beheaded on the streets by attackers who were then videotaped right afterwards talking to a video camera. >> that's exactly right. look this kind of terrorism is really looking for convenience and

kennedy who said it wasn't -- wouldn't be president of the united states and others. you have the data to break this up. i was with you when you were with bobd the new veterans civic health index. describe to us the metrics behind that and what that is exactly? >> we've been saying for a long time that veterans are civic assets. because of their time in the military, because of the leadership training and team building and problem solving skills, that they are -- should come back into our communities and help to strengthen our communities. also, of course, if you talk about post-traumatic growth and resilience what they've endured in combat makes them stronger as well. they'll be better citizens. we've been saying it for a long time but didn't have the data to prove it until now. a couple of months ago we with secretary bob mcdonnell from the department of veterans affairs, announced the results of the civil health index. it was a partnership of the national conference on citizenship who does these indexes for cities all across the country and gives you civic health of a specific community. we looked at old veterans and young veterans and s

kennedy to nasties -- onassis. [laughter] now, she hadn't been seen for several years, and the society ladies dropped their jaws and smiled at her and couldn't stop smiling. i looked up at boband he was smiling too, but not at jackie kennedy. he was smiling at me. [laughter] eighteen months later, we were engaged. our friends and family went into shock. [laughter] it was as though the pope had asked for the hand of squeaky frohm in marriage. [laughter] professional women and men some 30 years apart didn't get married in the 1970s. his cousins urged him to see a psychiatrist. [laughter] so faced with all this opposition we, of course, got married. there is a question people don't ask me about "timeless," although i can see how much they'd like to. there was a time i prayed this question wouldn't be asked but we just celebrated our 38th anniversary, and tomorrow is father's day. so let me answer this question before you can't ask it. [laughter] did i marry my father? [laughter] do we marry people similar to our mothers and fathers? i'd like to reply by reading a short passage from "timeless." i believe that love is no accident no whisper from a random universe. it comes from

bob woodward. if i was a liberal i would be too busy accepting awards from the kennedy center and posing for the cover of vanity fair. i would probably be on a postage stamp. thank you "washington journal" for having me on. host: i think we have had you on on your last book that you have written, and answered questions from viewers like john. life for republicans. good morning. caller: it is a pleasure to speak to you. david horowitz refers to you as a national treasure, and i agree with that wholeheartedly. since 1986, we have had sufficient time to secure our borders and protect us from this influx of illegal aliens. we have a right as a sovereign country to define and defend our borders. this is so fundamental, i can't understand why people don't know it. we have had enough time since that act was passed to do what we had to do. the conversation has become so muddled by the idiots who control the media that it is hard for me to understand it. i can only attribute it to the negativity of the american people. i want to thank you very much. i hope the viewers here, those who feel similarly will spread
