robert widow -- roberts widow mary died in 1937, leaving over $1 million in inheritance. robert, as lincoln's only surviving son, was expected to carry on the family line. when his only son died, the name died out. daughter mimi did not produce a grandchild, and robert's other female offspring produced two children, who did not produce errors. with so many aspects of the lincoln scholarship, there was a disputed and. that was not all that happened to the lincoln family, but all that i can import in my allotted time. i am very happy to take your questions if any of you want to query or comment on what i have shared with you today. [ applause ] >> i enjoyed your comments. a few years ago jean baker was here. >> absolutely, and jean wrote such a great biography. i asked her a question that i am about to ask you. after you give your response i will give her response. >> i think we could let her phone it in if you want >> do you think mary was bipolar? no i think that what i have said repeatedly and said in print, is that mind, i am a doctor. but my doctorate is in history, no

robert: oh, okay.n you're working together, do you--how do you start in terms of, like, coming up with something? like a song, or a message, or a sound? april: well, i think a lot of times i write the melody and the lyrics, and he writes--for our duo, he writes the beats. and you know, he writes some sick beats, you know. he's putting some cool sounds together and he--like, one way that differs between the way we pre and make a really, like, solid pop tune that way. and sometimes i get a little complicated, but he's like, "no, let's keep it simple so the voice can find itself in it." and we've been using your-- you've been using the prologue a lot lately. robert: yeah, yeah. april: so, having certain instruments that we're excited about, that's a good start. robert: how about this music showcase? what does that allow you to do? how does that help you as an artist? [justin laughing] uh... robert: hopefully it does. april: no, of course it does. justin: no, totally. april: i feel like all music, like, is

robert: oh, really? cleopatra: yeah. robert: what are they ghosts of?leopatra: sometimes, all of a sudden, somebody's walking on the aisle in the back. robert: who is it? cleopatra: i don't know, i'm not sure. robert: but it's a welcoming ghost, right? cleopatra: yes [laughing] robert: how do you feel about your granddaughter going to be the owner of this place someday? cleopatra: that would be nice, because she will be preserving the history, and she will continue the works of her mom. visa villacarlos: i've just been watching her, like, build the business, make it grow, and watching her communicate with other people, and making them happy, ha, ha, ha, and bringing just more and more people in with the, like, diversity that we have. robert: what's the coolest story that you read about the 7 mile house, and maybe one that made you feel a connection to this place? he has a tattoo on his arm, and it says 7 mile house on it. and so, i was like, "woah." when my mom told me the story, i was like, "really?" and i was like, "was it, like, when we were,e pl" an

robert: right. and of course, it's such a theatrical, you know, presentation, you know, with the music and everything like that. for you, what does it--what does it add do you think when you have a kind of theatrical presentation of something that's been basically sort of analyzed more like as a historical issue or social issue? anne kobori: i think it really allows the audience to engage with it. especially if they personally have not experienced something like that, it's such a dramatic, serious topic with all the baggage of world war ii and hitler and all that genocide, so i think lightening it up in some ways, adding some of these 40s-style dance numbers like "paradise" and "victory swing" does draw the audience in a little bit more. robert: yeah, entertainment, you know, to get the information through. your family had internment experience. how has that affected you in terms of the way you relate to it and maybe how you connect with the character? anne: it's very personal for me, probably the m

robert: terror by mail in fear on the campaign trail. i'm robert costa. president trump's sharp words are under scrutiny as the mid terms near tonight on "washington week." >> this is a different definition of terrorism.ol this is pical terrorism. >> suspected mail bomb sent to political figures, c and others. >> this is a multiple investigation involving multiple people coast t coast. president trump: i'm here to inform you that law enforcent as apprehended the suspect and taken him into custody. these terrorizing acts are spicable and have no place in our country. robert: but a president also critical of the press. president trump:ia the med also has a responsibility to set a civil tone and to stop the endless hostility and constant negati and oftentimes false attacks and stories. robert: a country on edge, next. ♪ announcer: this is "washington week." funding is provided by -- >> kevin. >> kevin. >> kevin. >> advice for life. life well planned. learn more at raymondjames.com. >> funding is proyided b newman's own foundation donating all profits to char

jon: robert? robert: it has been a sleeper outperformer this year. it is a good environment. u.s. economy is doing well. while europe has been having problems, emerging markets were getting hit, investment-grade has more downside than upside and high-yield was the sweet spot. the equity market was racing away. in the u.s. uniquely, relative to other countries, you have steep correction in equities spilling over a bit. to the extent that this recovery, this expansion, continues, they are likely to reemerge as a sweet spot. jon: it would be disingenuous of me to say credit has come out of this ok. we have seen spread widening in high-yield. the outperformance has been the worst part of high-yield. the broader point, leveraged loans have remained resilient. to your point, if there are people watching right now worried about the equity market volatility and downdraft, is the message that for credit, it is not that doom and gloom is not around the corner? i think leveraged is the hot area. that is the hot area where the value is not necessarily there. that is going to be the weak

still with me to discuss is rachel, marilyn, and robert are -- robert. blackrock, the front end has been a story, the big repricing we have seen on treasuries. are we getting to the point where we are seeing that move and we could be close to the peak? marliyn: we still like the front end of the curve. we think it might be from here pretty well anchored. actually if you continue to hold that, we think it is reasonably priced in now, the number of hikes you might have. whereas i think potentially the next move could be more of a steepening, particularly if the fed does indicate it will pull pause its rate hiking cycle. even if yields go up more, you are still cushioned. whereas further up the curve, if you go to 10 or 30's, there is just no cushion. jonathan: walk us through why the next big move could be a steep and what the catalyst will one be for it. marliyn: if the fed announces it will pause at some point, the market is not prepared for that. we have seen some movement and a few signs the market is more concerned, but it is not yet priced in the fed

roberts: oh, sure. generally i'm not, and i would say when i am, almost 99% of the time, people who come up to me are very nice. they either say how much they like what i do and even the ones -- i don't keep track of how many -- but who don't agree with me, they will say they appreciate my service but they don't agree. sometimes they will be very effusive in praise for an opinion of the court saying how great the court was when it did this and how important it was, and i just don't have the heart to tell them i was a dissent. [laughter] professor stein: do you think allowing cameras in the court would be helpful in the work of the cord or getting more people familiar with how the court operates? ittice roberts: i think would be very helpful getting people familiar with how the court operates, but that's not our job to educate people. our job is to carry out our role under the constitution to interpret the constitution and laws according to the rule of law, and i think that having cameras in the courtroo

robert durst. by now you've heard the bizarre saga. the multi-millionaire scion of a new york real estate empire. the disappeared wife, the dead friend, the dismembered neighbor. he's been the subject of several dateline episodes and the star, though not in the way he intended, of hbo's "the jinx." >> did not tell the whole truth. nobody tells the whole truth. >> reporter: but do you -- does anyone, know the truth about robert durst? tonight, the story behind the story. the trail we followed, the revelations we encountered, the personal account he wrote and we were given, which have led us into a very weird place, the lost years of the infamous robert durst. the tale is like quicksand. it sucks you in. >> bob is endlessly fascinating and -- and always surprises me. >> reporter: he has certainly been elusive, mercurial, sometimes desperate and always in motion. tonight we'll track him, his descent, his strange detour off the road and off the grid. a life that no one, not even his family or close friends, could fathom. >> he has a good h

the subject of the lecture is justice robert jackson. i have a special connection to the justice, a genealogical connection. you've mentioned for whom i was very privileged to work for many years. many saw that justice jackson's portrait is one of 4 that we have in our conference room. one of the privileges is that you get to choose the portraits and i added justice jackson's with a portrait of chief justice . jackson was one of the masters in the courts history in 63 years after his early death. i think probably most people have heard this-- infallible only because we are final. i'm not sure that everyone realizes that that first appeared in the opinion that justice jackson wrote. what i admire most as many appreciate-- is that many appreciate his pragmatism. a country lawyer, a high government official, a politician, a diplomat, prosecutor, and a member of this court. he had a knife for allocating time and talent furthering constitutional systems of government. i clerk in the 1980 term and in a 1980 article he said he thought jackson s

justice roberts: right. prof. stein: what, if any, are the differences when the corsets -- court sits with eight justices as opposed to nine? justice roberts: well, it's a lot harder. very few courts have an even number of justices, for obvious reasons, and in the federal system, if it is a tie vote, nothing gets done. the decision stays as it was, it is affirmed by an equally-divided court, but there's no opinion, no guidance. it's a real waste of time for everybody. even when our initial vote is 4-4, we try to find ways that do something that moves the case along. in other words, it may not be a decision on the issue we had hoped to decide, but if there is some area in which we can come to agreement, sometimes perhaps an insignificant issue, but one that has to be resolved, we will do that just so the case continues rather than be sent back without any resolution at all. prof. stein: the court is back to nine justices as a result of justice kavanagh's confirmation, succeeding justice kennedy. can you descr

an era an epoch where one wins one loses and that is not part of the american tradition go ahead robert. no doubt we have these evidentiary standards and due process standards and legal standards that we've created over hundreds of years in the united states and basically all of them are being scratched and scrapped overnight and what's happening is we're in a you know i'm just waiting for when the next nominee comes up he said well when he was in kindergarden he pulled susie's hair so i mean it's getting to that kind of place where we're going back twenty years thirty years forty years we're going back to disputed events of what happened at a party on a particular night and when we get to that place then at some point we're no longer in a place where truth matters we're no longer a place where justice matters and where the me two era has gotten has gone so far out of reach that it's no longer about justice or fairness it's only about power and it is about just who wins and who loses ok brian the criticism of the left to go through this i think this utter nonsense i'm sorry that's my op

she sent it on to robert mueller.ecial counsel's office so they at least know this was happening. ultimately, what we've seen over the course of today is that reporters have started to dig into surefire intelligence and this guy who supposedly had been hired to look into robert mueller's supposed past. now i mentioned a moment ago that the person hyping that a big scandal was about to break concerning robert mueller is sort of a little known pro-trump twitter personality. he is a guy named jacob wohl. that's who has been saying hey, this lobbyist is about to break this big scandal about robert mueller here. he's hired an intelligence firm, and that intelligence firm has done an investigation and found out this terrible thing about robert mueller. well, when you look into the intelligence firm here, it appears that the managing partner from this intelligence firm is in fact that pro-trump twitter kid who has been saying this big scandal is about to break. the top image that is backlit on the surefire intelligence websi

but he did today to protect robert mueller.kesperson peter carr said, when we learned of allegations that women were offered money to make false claims about the special counsel, we immediately referred to matter to the fbi for investigation. according to a report in the "atlantic," a woman named lorraine parsons has been e-mail reporters that she first offered $20,000 by a man claiming to work for a firm called surefire intelligence, which had been hired by a gop activists named jack burkman to make accusations of workplace harassment against robert mueller. jack burkman is a right-wing radio host and conspiracy theorist. horror lain parsons hasn't been willing to speak directly to reporters, but today a second woman also said that she was contacted by this group that calls itself surefire intelligence with an offer to pay her to discuss encounters with robert mueller. at the same time those women were contacted, jack burkman posted a video to facebook where he claimed without evidence at all that robert mueller has a history

is already doing that obviously robert muller is already doing that you know impeachment i don't know if they'll go straight for impeachment christopher in washington what do you think because all express my homeboy opinion for the democrats though need any facts they just want conclusions that they want to mean it seems quite obvious to me i mean the cabin case is a perfect example there i mean it's so scant on on on evidence it's it would be laughed out of court i mean i guess robert could speak to that ok but chris what i really think it's a it's pretty this is pervading the the popular culture right now it started the universities now and it says it's winner take all i get everything shut up nod your head and do what you're told that's it in a nutshell christopher i've largely agree i mean i i would disagree that this is on precedent if you look at the clinton presidency certainly he wasn't peached and there was enough there for that precedent for a president which the congress would look into but i think we have to look at the broader aspect of what's going on if you look at the

chief justice roberts: mr. stevenson, i'm -- it's a question for both sides, but i'm having trouble with a firm grasp on exactly what issues are presented. now just tell me if i've got this right. there are two. the first one, i would say, is, does someone who doesn't remember the details of their crime, can he satisfy ford and panetti simply on that basis? he knows what capital punishment is, he knows what's going to happen. he just doesn't remember what -- what he did. and the second one is whether or not vascular dementia can be a basis for a ford claim. in other words, he meets the ford standard, but it's not caused by insanity, it's called by -- caused by dementia. now am i right that those are the two separate questions? mr. stevenson: i -- i -- i think they're two related questions. and the only -- i think what we would argue is that that first question is that, yes, memory loss, with some -- something else can render someone incompetent, and that something else may not be dementia -- that is, someone wh

so, yes, this morning robert de niro's office. thank god, because of an eagle eyed security employer, no one was hurt. the device was removed successfully by the nypd. but everyone has an opportunity, even though this is a painful moment and something we should not be living through and something that's been unfortunately facilitated by an atmosphere created by some of our leaders, every day people can be part of the solution here. we need to be vigilant and recognize that something suspicious, don't explain it away, don't think maybe it is not a big deal. if you think a package is suspicious, call the authorities. protect everyone around you by being vigilant. that can be how we find the perpetrators. time and time again, that's what allows law enforcement to win the day. >> absolutely. there is nothing more powerful than all the eyeballs watching us right now. 1-800-call-fbi if you see anything that resembled these packages or seems suspicious. mayor, has the new york police department told you that they're aware of packages or

it was addressed to robert deniro.ound in the mail room of tribeca film productionst by security personnel. they noticed this package looked exactly like the one that has been on tv. the same characteristics like we have been talking about now for the last day. so what all these packages look like. the heavy manila envelope. the blocked lettering. the postage stamps. and then what happened was the nypd then responded here tribeca film productions. they x-rayed that package and determined that they needed to move it in the containment vehicle. we saw that con at the same time vehicle yesterday at time warner cnn. moving that package over to rodman's neck. this is a facility where they move all these explosive devices here in new york. they have been doing that for years. they examined the particular explosive device at that facility. that is what we know so far. clearly, again, this worker, security personnel noticed that it looked exactly like the ones we -- that we have been showing on tv. also, to note, obviously, th

that's right so i'm standing in front of the buyback grow which is whole owned by actor robert deniro not was very early this morning one employee inside the building found this package and he recognized it looked very similar to the package he'd seen on television yesterday one that was of course sent to c.n.n. as you mentioned earlier the packages that were intercepted that were on their way to the obama and the clinton a boy immediately called the new york police department an emergency team was sent here the package of now been removed from this building behind me and it has been transported to a facility in the bronx where it will be examined authorities are treating it as a possible pipe bomb yesterday of course we heard that it was rudimentary devices but they are functional they're on stable and they could have detonated at any time so these will be examined just like the one that was found here today and what would robert deniro be a target. well robert de niro the actor who of course as i mentioned this is his restaurant he has been a vocal critic of president even before tr

the first was john roberts. roberts confirmation a few fireworks than some previous nominations.because he was replacing chief justice rehnquist. he was not expected to change the ideological balance of the court. moreover, democrats and knew there was another nomination coming that would change the balance of the court. at the time chief justice roberts had his confirmation hearing, there were actually two, actually two supreme court openings, rehnquist and justice o'connor. rehnquist opening would be filled first, o'connor second. replacing rehnquist with another conservative would not alter the course ideological makeup but replacing o'connor was a more conservative justice would. i believe the democrats held their fire on roberts because the new a second, or consequential nomination was coming. they wanted to be able to say, look, we voted for roberts, we are not partisan. roberts was reasonable, but this new nominee, he or she is different. they didn't know who it was. he or she is unacceptable. and so roberts was confirmed letter to easily 78-22. hard to believe 22 vote peo

my initial response was i don't know robert mueller, never met him.nitially i thought i should reply that and say have a nice day. as you continued reading the e-mail, it seemed like they were trying to cast a wide net to speak with anyone who may have ever known him, to see if he had done something wrong. and they were just basically digging dirt up on him to try to smear him. so as soon as i kind of got to the end of the e-mail and saw that was the case, i went on the web and found the special counsel's e-mail address and forwarded it on to their office so they could investigate. >> why do you think you were contacted? >> initially i had one idea and recently i've come up with a different one. initially i thought that maybe because i had spoken about mueller, they may have thought i had been a prosecutor and maybe, you know, the end of the e-mail it also had invited me to give them other references and they'd pay me for those. so i thought maybe someone else had gotten this e-mail, taken the bait and just thrown my name out there just to get money,

roberts: no question. there's a lot of scholarship i am looking forward to as the centennial of suffrage comes in 2020. almost every major publishing house has a book on their docket. world war i is where i only skimmed the surface, and i think it is very interesting. not only was there a sense of thanking women for their service, which was overt when england granted suffrage, they said it was because they were so helpful during world war i. they also only franchise women over 35, because so many young men died in the war, they worried young women would have just abortion of if they weren't --nteracted by mail votes so would have had disproportionate power if they weren't counteracted by male votes. soin the u.s., they broke so many barriers. a a lot of the anti-suffrage stuff was, women should stay home, and a lot of hesitation of women to be out in the streets was that's not what nice girls do. but if you are suddenly working, in a city, living away from your family, taking the streetcar, doing all kinds

why is the president blaming mcgahn for the robert mueller investigation?> well, wolf, some might say the president's decision to fire fbi director james comey is really what set a special counsel being named. look, we know that the president and don mcgahn have had a rocky relationship. on his way out the door, the president expressed his sort of blame that the special counsel is there at all, that the russia cloud is still looming over this white house. you know, don mcgahn has cooperated extensively with robert mueller in his probe, but i think this is just another indication of the friction between these two men. remember, it was a very awkward departure for mcgahn. trump sort of announced on twitter he was leaving. he announced in an associated press interview who would be replacing him. we know don mcgahn threatened to quit a number of times when he was at the white house. we are told, however, the president did compliment him on some of his stronger suits while he was there, like stocking the courts with conservative judges. >> we are also learning t
