robert: it changed everything.he thing it really did for me is it gave me enough financial security to take a chance on writing other kinds of books that interested me. i did not need to follow up with a nautical adventure, which is what people were expecting. i was able to take a risk in my next project. it also allowed me to take my time. so that if i needed to find the right story or do something over, i did not feel pressured to rush something. that is a very big gift for a writer. brian: economically, in 2004, this book is selling so well, is everything settled down? you don't have to worry about it anymore? robert: for the first time, it is settled down. my wife is an attorney. i made one promise in life -- do not marry an attorney. luckily, i broke that. so she is contributing to the family and was finding her way at that time too. that was a nice transition point for us as a family. brian: one of the characters in "shadow divers," john chatterton, is in the current book. the second book you wrote was "crash

roberts: oh, gosh. i guess it is going back to what i just said, that the impact of the massacre was that so many chiefs -- this was a feast chief meant.e chief and cap -- encampment. there was so much knowledge and leadership that was eradicated in one day that the impacts were multigenerational. amounts of a tremendous of traditional knowledge, language, ceremonies, and so forth. and finally, the economic consequences that have plagued tribal nations -- missions across the country since that time is something that has impacted generations but yet has also given a sense of strength, perseverance and rebuilding that knowledge. it is a really important component of having a place of commemoration, a place to come and connect with that history and bring back forward. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. with live coverage of the u.s. house on c-span and the senate on c-span2, here on c-span three week that coverage by showing you the most relevant hearings and public affairs. theon the weekends it is hom

athink justice roberts may be different figure from chief justice roberts. i think you may have voted differently because he has an institutional perspective. he is the custodian of the court's authority, prestige, legitimacy. , it ledg the cheek spot to justice alito taking justice o'connor's spot. you now have 11 versions. we have o'connor, then alito. then elena kagan. the only switch is alito from o'connor, and that is the characteristic. involving, in cases abortion, campaign finance, race , voted differently than o'connor would have. that is my best shorthand way of saying what is distinctive. kannon: we will talk over the course of the panel of the central role of justice kennedy and changes in court membership. miguel, you have a unique having spent much of your professional career in front of the rehnquist court. anyone is well-placed as to comment on the styles. chief would not interrupt you in the middle of the word "if" if your time was up. the new chief is more generous with the clock, which never would have happened in the rehnquist court. adam

and i think an associate justice roberts may be a different figure, chief justice roberts. i think the chief justice and handled it very important cases may have voted differently because he's got an institutional perspective in addition to a jurisprudential want to is the custodian of the course authority, prestige, legitimacy. and in taking the chiefs spot has led to justice alito taking justice o'connor's spot. and justice alito, we have now had four versions of the roberts court which is unusual 11 unbroken years by the rehnquist court, all of a sudden we have o'connor briefly, then toledo, and sotomayor and then taken. no, switch that matters ideologically is alito for o'connor. that's the distinctive kuchar's got the robert court that alito in key cases involving abortion, campaign finance, race, footage of the event but justice o'connor would have. that's my best understanding, my best shorthand way of saying was distinct about the roberts court spirit we will talk and show the course of the panel about the central role of justice kennedy now with the changes in the

and i think an associate justice robert might be a very different figure from a chief justice roberts. i think they chief justice may have voted differently because he has got an institutional perspective in addition to a jurors credential. taking the chief's spot, it led to justice alito taking justice a connors -- justice o'connor's spot. after 11 unbroken years of the rehnquist court, all of a sudden, we have o'connor briefly, then alito. but the only switch that matters ideologically is alito for o'connor. and that is the distinctive characteristic that alito, in key cases of altering abortions -- involving abortions, probably voted differently than justice o'connor would have. and that is my best shorthand way of saying what is distinctive about the roberts' court. mr. shanmugam: and we will talk a little bit about the central role of justice kennedy now with the changes in the court's membership. but to pick up where adam left off, you have the i think originally unique perspective in terms of this panel in spending much of your professional career .n front of the request court

has that changed with the roberts court?i don't really think that's true at all, actually, because i think the court calls for the views of the solicitor general a lot at the certiorari stages, and i think the court has very high expectations of us that, i think, we deliver on for the most part. like in briefs, you know, if there's a 50-state survey that might be relevant, i think they usually expect us to have done it. they ask those kinds of questions at overrule argument, and i think -- at oral argument. you read a lot of decisions where the arguments that the government made prevailed, and the decision reads a lot like the government's argument. so, actually, our win/loss record for this year is pretty good. how much stock can you put in that, but i think there have just been a few cases in which some member of the court, maybe a few members of the court just thought there was prosecutorial overreaching. it was mostly like the fish case, the bonds, the chemical weapons case that just is various members of the court were

has that changed with the roberts court? >> i don't think so. it calls for the views of the of solicitor general at the certiorari stage yet has expectations if there is a 50 state surveyed day expect us to have those questions and then justices are pretty happy with those answers to read a law of decisions the government may prevail and reads like the government's arguments. i think the loss argument is good for this year but there has been a few cases in which some member of the court has prosecutorial overreaching like the chemical weapons like those were upset about. >> that with lost record has gone down some the last few years that is attributable to the administration? >> and what happens it was a big win for a liberal of the court but if the issues change that may look very different. you get a snapshot of what the doctor brings with the random assortment of cases it you cannot draw a conclusion. i was in the office in the '90s for five years it was my job i used to get eight free she would call me a lawyer for the clinton administration

let's begin with robert burton. a big stunner, robert. robert: that's right. if no drama was happening, we'd be worried. saturday, kirk cousins was backing up robert griffin iii because of his concussion against the ravens. less than 24 hours later cousins is the starter for 2015. not because of injury but based on performance. this thursday, the rgiii roller coaster. cleared and then uncleared for the concussion and now he is out of his starting job and kirk cousins is in. >> i felt like the roles were defined and i was competing for the backup. but you also understand you are battling if every spot. nobody's job is safe. robert: today gruden emphasized that the change was due to kirk's performance it, not robert's. coach gruden: what he has done in practice and o.t.a.'s opened our eyes. he has proven to be the best quarterback on the roster. he's a compliment to kirk not the other guys didn't do this or that. i just think kirk played so well he earned the right.

let's bring back in robert costa and michael steele. let me start with you, robert costa.'ve been up close and personal with trump a couple of times. the guy never lacks for self-confidence. the guy never lacks for ego. but i felt that that was a slightly different trump. as a politician, at least. that was a little bit more relaxed. he was joking with the press. that's a guy to me who thinks he's got this figured out. >> trump's people have kept telling me, trump's going to turn a corner. that seems like a trump who is turning the corner. the tone was different. he was talking about policy position papers that are on their way. this is a trump who is comfortable in the spotlight answering the questions. this is someone who is not talking about fox. he talked about fox ratings, but he didn't go into the megyn kelly thing. he showed discipline. >> the question that opened up the debate about whether he would run as a third party candidate if he doesn't win the republican nomination, he again would not commit to not doing that, but he was emphatic tonight that it was all abo

robert: maybe i can. let us begin the festivities in the bronx, yankees top pitching prospect makes his major-league debut against the red sox. top of the second inning, there he is, made his debut. ala hundred drive the ball deep right-center field. scoring double off of a rookie, 1-0 red sox. top of the fourth we go, and david ortiz leading off against him and he drilled a solo home run to deep right, it is high, far, gone, 2-0, red sox channelling john sterling, he was solid in his debut because those were the only hit the gave up over five innings, striking out seven. those runs were all the red sox needed. the yankees long run coming on a carlos beltran home run. that is down in miami looking to make a three game sweep of the marlins and win their sixth straight. juliet: lines the single into central field, curtis granderson racing home from seconded making it 1-0. next batter, we are up so far. ripping a double to no man's land sending home daniel murphy from second followed by 3-0 mets. we will go

basically what john roberts said was the congress couldn't be trusted anymore.antonin scalia said most notably the voting rights act, if not great. who's going to vote against that and suggested that has led to a perpetuation of racial entitlement to such an extent that congress never not vote to reauthorize it. the strong bipartisan consensus in congress became a reason for the supreme court to god it because they thought only they were brave enough to step in and anthony kennedy famously said the marshall plan was good, too at times changes at the voting rights act had rebuilt berlin and cease to exist after that. the court felt they were doing the heavy lifting that congress was unwilling to do. >> hi. i'm bob sommer and i worked with john lewis and barber and north carolina and i want to thank you very much for this masterwork. that happens a lot -- [inaudible] i do have a specific question. nonviolent direct action is very current right now with the black lives matter movement. ferguson, charleston, all of that. we focus on pinch points where we can convinc

like i said, nothing against robert. i like robert as a quarterback. no doubt about it. his future is with the redskins is what it is. i anticipate kirk taking the job and running with it. his job as a backup quarterback or third string quarterback, whatever it is, is to get himself ready to play. the door is not shut on rgiii. robert: i have to work on my accuracy. u.s. open, serena williams hoping to become the fourth woman to accomplish a calendar grand slam. for her sister venus she had a tough time with monica puig but she pulls it out. match point in the third set. the forehand winner. she is fired up, of course, after. that venus is the oldest woman in the singles field and she advances 6-4, 6-7, 6-3. final note the nats will play the best team in baseball tonight. cardinals. gio gonzalez will take the mound. first pitch is 8:150. that will be a tough one. mets play phillies. a leon: cards have had their number for a while. doug: tomorrow is first day of meteorological autumn. steve rudin at 111 :00 will tell you how long the hot weather will continue. leon: be he

robert, mike, don't go anywhere. because i want to turn about the most talked about news event in cable television history. tonight all of america turns to fox to see 17 republican contenders for the presidency of the united states debate live on television at the quicken loans arena in cleveland, ohio. you're looking at live pictures coming in to us at the debate setup. estimated 5,000 people in attendance at the arena. plus millions and millions of people watching at home on tv. this is the big kahuna, everyone, the big debate. where candidates have the opportunity to set themselves apart from any other. many have been prepping for this event for weeks. some for months. some really for their whole lives. then of course, you got donald trump, the anti-politician. i spoke exclusively with "the donald" right hire on "the intelligence report" along with a 92-year-old vote irwho is voting for first time all because of trump. listen to this. are you nervous? how are you preparing? >> things i would rather be doing, havin

robert: i em robert. rgiii tells abc7 he is the best quarterback in the league and it goes viral. one-on-one with rgiii at "abc7 news at 6:00 leon: new at 2:00, a grisly crash they will never forget. but now 30 years later, she is reunited with the people who saved her life. brad bell reports. brad: three inseparable friends. seniors. in november 1986 they were driving home together as usual to new carolton when the car was crushed by a fully loaded out of control dump truck. only lisa would survive. today 29 years later, lisa now the mother of four met who saved her life for the first time. >> my next responder come on up. >> each of the first responders most now retired, remember lisa's wreck like it was yesterday. >> i cut the seat belt off of you. >> i was a paramedic and one of the first units that responded. >> one of those calls you never forget. >> earlier in year, lisa who was a yoga instructor hired by a former p.g. fire chief to teach a class to survivors of fallen firefighters. she told him her story and asked if he could arrange a meeting. >> this is all a matter of h

ladies and gentlemen, please welcome cokie roberts. >> [applause] ms. roberts: thank you. i think he said it. i can just go home. you have a lot of power, do it. excellent message. but really, it is likely to be with you. i actually did not know i was your keynote speaker until i got the invitation. i thought i was the mc. but then i said -- it said that i was the keynote speaker, so i actually studied. and that was useful. i was happy to do that. i was thrilled to be here. congressman levin i have known for many years and it is so nice to be in ever with someone older than me. it doesn't happen often. and congressman ryan, the age of my daughter, who is my various child -- youngest child. [laughter] but it is also very gracious of you to have us here. i did grow up in this room. i absolutely did. my father -- i did look it up last night -- my father came on this committee. he was elected before i was born. he was 26 in 1940. it is think about it now, him and momma, coming here. she was 24, he was 26. and they had two babies. and, you know, it was prewar washington. it was

robert griffin iii has been replaced by kirk cousins.o sort it out, let's go live to kristen berset. the quarterback change was made when and why, kristen? >> reporter: bruce, where do i begin here, right? robert griffin iii was initially cleared by an independent neurosurgeon and was expected to play today. but late last night, the team sent out a press release, reversing their decision. apparently the league brought in a neuropsychologist and despite griffin passing baseline tests and everything else, there was some data they didn't like. so he is not playing today. kirk cousins will be instead. griffin sent out a tweet last night expressing his frustration. this was to be a big game for robert griffin iii, but now it's become even more important for kirk cousins as he fights for the starting job and he's looking to put some of his best stuff on film. >> not just against baltimore, in the nfl you got to make plays with a tough pocket and the guys that do that at a high level are the stars and the guys who don't are no longer in the lea

robert clark speculates that mrs.orgenthau was so smitten with the first lady she preferred to hear her voice over the telephone them to write. i have a few letters i left in the green room. sorry about. >> i have letters written by l. of our roosevelt to eleanor morgenthau which are kind of revealing. but that's timely. but it's also the political history of an era in the journey for nearly four decades in the public eye as seen through the private lens. robert morgenthau is in arguably one of the great men of his era. he is the only prominent statesmen left from the kennedy times and as the dea new york he accomplished changes such as almost handed almost hand to single-handedly wiping out of new york area she's made a just made a new law and indeed changed the face of the wall in america with many of the criminal cases. and he's invented prosecution of white-collar crime as we know it today. his long arm stretched into the waters and cultivated the network of the global partners. he is unraveled the international m

robert: a source close to the situation tells abc7 robert griffin iii is "content." and that he wants to stay in washington. another normal day in washington football. leon: yeah, right. kimberly: content is one of those safe words. isn't it? twitter was not a safe place for anybody. it went wild as the news spread that cousins would be starting the season for the skins. our diane cho picks up the team coverage with fan reaction live from outside fedex field in landover. diane, what are you hearing? diane: it didn't matter who we approached about the story, as soon as we told them what it was about, it seemed even had an opinion on it. donna howard has been a redskins fans for more than 30 years. and year after year, she says it's the same song and dance as the excitement builds in the preseason and followed by disappointment. >> i'm ready for a winning team. no matter what. whoever wants to play and win is who i'm behind. diane: the team says rgiii went down with a concussion in the preseason and still going through the league's concussion protocol. but head coach j

john roberts was turning it on its head. it only applies to certain states that the reason why it was constitutional is because it only applied to certain states. to suggest that it did would be very naÏve. what that decision did was it took away the most important protection the government had and what we are seeing in the wake of that decision is states that had struck laws that were blocked by texas and the voter i.d. law went into effect a month after the decision. north carolina passed a sweeping host of voting restrictions and eliminated same day voting registration. they required strict voter i.d.. the eliminated preregistration for 16 and 17-year-old something that was passed as a civic lesson to get younger people involved in the political process. north carolina had very, very good election laws previously and essentially this piece of legislation is one bill and repealed almost all of them. texas and north carolina were striking case studies of the fact that voter suppression still exists. louise on the 2014th ele

. >> the first subject that we interviewed is vance roberts. >> vance roberts is the registered owner asked where have you been for the last few hours? apparently he had cut his arm, and they did have a very funny story to tell, in my mind, that this girl was trying to steal, that's why she jumped out the window, and that's how he received his cut. that he had went to a local hospital to receive medical treatment for his arm. >> after we spoke to him, we decided to interview his brother. >> paul jackson. jackson states, you know, i was just basically along for the ride. i don't know what happened. i thought he picked up a prostitute, they were having a lot of sex and i was watching tv in the living room. completely unbelievable to me. >> it was very tough not to just want to go throw them in jail right off the bat. but we wanted to make sure we did everything exactly per the letter of the law. they were told that they could not enter into the house before we could get back with a signed warrant. the truck they were driving, also, was going to remain on the property. but at the same ti

>> all right, robert, hang in there. good day to you, it is wednesday, august the 12, august 15. >> talk about push pressing. >> explain what push present is. apparently men expected to get their wives expensive gifts after giving birth. but, the debate is on. why one celebrity says this idea is not fair. and then there is this. >> still isn't over. >> i have to admit something right now, i have never seen the film the notebook. >> what? >> yes. >> oh, well maybe this is for the ladies. i know some fellows who love this movie, too. get ready, noah alley, are back, your favorite movie, is becoming a tv show. >> oh, god. >> come on, guys are excited about this, if you need to see the movie, mike. so we will tell you the top three chick application that men actually love. >> you know from ice age, ride along, john, look what he looks like in his new film. he's tated up. he'll tell us why he physically smells during the filming of this particular feature. >> sorry we don't have smell a vision or something, we can't smell it.
