robert e.e does is he looks at things and then he looks away and many of these difficulties that we see today we say that's a contradiction. how can we say this on one hand the call at this on the other? and it's a contradiction that it's not his responsibility and his officers and soldiers behave in a certain way he was not going to look at it. it simply was not going to be a subject that he was going to concern himself with. that was for his subordinates to take care of. >> it's a in treating especially since he so adamant about the conduct of the union troops. >> yes right and the conduct of those union troops was one thing to help to push him further and further away from this imagined role of the reconciler towards we have to beat these yankees. understand to he really finds offensive not the union soldiers misbehaving because soldiers are going to misbehave. i'm sorry to the nature of the thing but what really upsets them is the directive for the misbehavior is coming from the very top an

one is by december 1862 robert e lee is robert e lee.he's not just the son-in-law of george washington hospice. if robert e lee had gone into any virginia confederate court and said look, i don't want to go through with this. i shouldn't have to go through with this. i seriously doubt whether any virginia confederate would have stopped him . if he wanted to do due process who was going to stand in the path of generally? the other interesting thing is that lee persists in moving forward with this emancipation. and not in a cusp of slaves but emancipating them one slave family that he did in his own name he is not obliged by the state to emancipate. but in the beginning of 1863, robert e lee is flavorless. and what's more he's badgering jefferson davis. he's saying the confederacy must emancipate its slaves. because otherwise where never going to have any kind of standing in the eyes of the rest of the world. by the spring of 1865 he's advocating the emancipation of an important of slaves for the confederate army. on both terms is easy to

robert e. lee is the executor of the will. by december of 1862, robert e. lee is robert e. lee. he's not just the son-in-law of george washington. if robert e. lee had gone into any virginia confederate court and said i don't want to go through with this, i shoints have to go through it. i doubt whether any virginia court would have stopped him. if he wanted to derail the whole process, who was going to stand in the path of general lee? lee persists in moving forward. emancipates the one slaifr maem if his own name which he was not obliged by the estate to emancipate. he's advocating the recruitment of slaves for the confederate army. on both terms, it's easy to say that while he was doing this out of pragmatic reasons, not because he felt any kind of moral urgency. i'm sure there was a pragmatic motive at work in lee's thinking that way. after the war is over, he makes no effort to promote construction. he has no interest in seeing black people have vote and seeing them occupy. he's very critical of reconstruction. it's just part of the problem with dealing with robert e. lee.

robert. i haven't even go to the brand. i just want to say something before we go to the break, we still have 2nd half of the program, but you know, you're, you're saying all of the protesters are the same. more and more evidence is that there were a lot of, there was some trouble makers and other people got it. i found themselves in something that they didn't want to be participating in. you know, so i please to stay away from the broad brush, go ahead. 20 seconds before we go to the break. i had robert all just wanted wire. know republicans wanted to investigate this. if they do believe that the f b i dog, where we now have beginning by partisans or for the idea that we can. but we need to stop us from becoming far from corporate america talented, and that were governed by mob rules arises that are by the let for results. okay, well that perfect timing there. thank you robert. i'm going to jump in here gentlemen, we're going to go to a short break. and after that show break, we'll continue

when you talk to robert caro, you going to school as you know. and when you look at his achievement lyndon johnson piece and then how you've written bob about the power and the presidents also, what is your reflection lbj in american history and what was the johnson's presidency and the perils of his presidency. >> is easier to describe the creation of the universe. and as robert caro's trump finding out because there are many times in many many of sort them out and up to date and what is the real, what you and i were talking the other day, you can ask the question of a historian or a journalist, how good is history. and the answer is often, said it's best when it is too late, the words out of the presidency, he is deceased and in this internet age, of impatience and speed, the gift ask the question of how good his history but when his history and when will you be available to people i think the sooner the better, no one can match robert caro this going back and back and refining his understandings. >> you thank you so the perfect combination for

she married doctor robert green house.i do not have a picture of robert but i can show the church in which they were married, st. patrick's catholic church. no robert was not a catholic he was an episcopalian. robert has an interesting connection, at least to me because he was a richmond her. he was born in richmond and in fact his mother was killed in the tragic theater fire. robert was educated at william and mary and they went to medical school in new york. but his true passion was culture and language he spent seven years in europe he spoke spanish, french, german and italian. so when he came back to the states he got a job working as a translator and librarian in the state department in washington d.c. robert was 13 years older than rose, but they do seem to have had this very close marriage. really kind of a partnership. rose is very often the one who is pushing them forward in society. they had a total of eight children but tragically five of them died quite young. there are only three girls that survived rose. they

in san jose, robert handa, nbc bay area news. >> thank you, robert. >> okay, we want to go back to san francisco live on the san francisco sky of the golden gate bridge. the protesters who are protesting vaccine mandates in the state and on the federal level on the move now. they have been in the parking lot in front of the golden gate visitors center for about the past hour. and now it appears they're on the on-ramp walking onto the bridge. but this is the pedestrian walkway onto the bridge. they have been advised they're not allowed to stop traffic. chp is there right now. you can see cars going northbound right now, stopped. we're not sure if there's any protesters blocking traffic right now, but they have been there for the past hour. they rup set with vaccine mandates on the local level and the federal level. requiring kids to get vaccinated in schools and also any federal employees as well as companies with over 100 people. we're going to keep an eye on the situation, but you can see about 200 people making their way on the pedestrian walkway that goes across the golden gate brid

robert, robert, robert, robert. >> what happened?said the sequence of the shots told the story. two quick shots. a pause and then one more. >> our theory all along was that rob hall had executed emmett corrigan with two successive shots, turned to face his wife, attempted to commit suicide with the third shot. >> the shots were fired by close range, two or three feet. a heavy concentration of gunshot residue on only robert hall's hand and one man's dna on the trigger guard. >> the dna matched that of mr. hall. >> i think i that robert hall went to the walgreens in order to confront emmett corrigan, that he took a loaded gun and rob decided that was his opportunity to get his candy back by killing emmett. >> why did he talk to emmett for eight minutes before he fired? the store was closing said the prosecutor. people were going home. >> i think he waited until there were no eyewitnesses and he executed emmett corrigan. >> a neat and tidy theory, agreed the defense. but completely wrong. >> despite this fight -- >> rob was a nice guy s

the great robert caro. this was written a few years ago bob has given us the gift of some of the finest books on politics and poetry ever written. always meticulously researched, worded and always cutting to the heart of the matter. chattering what drove people in power to make the decisions that they made and how those decisions affected real lives both positively and negatively. and i will always remember the afternoon bob and i spent in harlem a few years ago talking about history in the writing process. there is a greater appreciation for his book. now his archive is at the new york historical society i can't wait to visit. who knows bob maybe you could give me a tour of the exhibit. in all seriousness i want to thank you for all you have done to help us expand our understanding of the past, the present leading to our ability to envision the possibility of the future. i wish you a wonderful celebration in many more years of continued good work. >> thank you bill. >> thank you louise. this is such a thri

it's robert moses. two years they were gonna lock up, everybody knows them and nobody's going to talk to you. did he stop, no. there is far too much journalism, access journalism if the main person will speak to people give up that means people have a veto power over what the market public learns and instead what the reporters need to do is say really. i think i will keep going and eventually wear them down. they realize you're going to do anyway. that happened on any number of occasions. you have to be persistent and polite and show that you're serious and you know what you're doing and read everything that you can get your hands on but eventually people given and if they don't usually there is a way around them. it's like scaling a concrete wall. i think this is what robert carol has shown the reason the amount of research that you do and everything from all the archives and letters the people that have intersected in his characters lives in the little people, the driver of the limousine who heard joh

roberts says. police told her that at least one other similar incident involving suspects with the same descriptions now i reached out to berkeley police. but no detectives were available to confirm details alex, heather, or herbal that she would be taken advantage of like that amberleigh live for us in berkeley tonight. thank you. very police departments will be out in force this weekend. trying to prevent violent crime . the oakland police department says it's putting out its tactical teams that are trained in de escalating illegal activities like armed caravans and side shows. extra officers are also on hand in san francisco, particularly in popular shopping areas like union square and a reminder, of course, the chp s maximum enforcement period for the holiday weekend remains in effect through sunday. extra officers are out on patrol looking for unsafe drivers. do it. 11 in san francisco fire department helped rescue a drowning coyote. today it happened near the marina green officials say bystan

robert became quite close to him as well. rose was very much a staunch southerner and someone who believed in slavery. she unashamedly voiced opinions about the inferiority of, quote, the negroes. she had no problems believing that she was far superior as a white person. she was very much a product of her culture. and it could be that her father's death had also influenced her because her father who was a man who liked to drink in crowds one night was coming home very, very late, was thrown from his horse, and his enslaved body servant, a man named jacob, was accused of finishing him off, of striking a blow to his head with a rock. even though jacob protested, declared his innocence, he'd gone for help, he hadn't fled, but he was executed nonetheless. rose herself gave credit to her -- for her views to john c. calhoun. and this is what she wrote. she said i am a southern woman born with revolutionary blood in my veins, and my first crude ideas of safe and federal matters receive consistency and shape from the best and wisest

chief justice roberts: thank you, counsel. justice thomas, anything further? justice thomas: no. chief justice roberts: justice breyer? justice alito? no? justice sotomayor? justice sotomayor: counsel, under the turner standard, a generalized security interest would have been enough to defeat a claim. rluipa changed that, and whether we like it or not, it requires the state to address each individual person's need. and a risk analysis that talks generally about a compelling new is -- need is not the standard that rluipa sets. the standard is, is something that you're proposing going to interfere with this execution? now i looked at the pictures that i was provided, and the other side gave a bunch of reasons. they said it'll block the view. but i saw the picture of the prison, and the window at least by the foot doesn't block the view. so where you want to stand is not going to block the view. they have fears that a unknown pastor could -- and this goes to justice kavanaugh's concern -- that an unknown pastor could go to the iv

chief justice roberts: sure. justice sotomayor: counsel, if we vacate the fifth circuit's order, orders, basically staying the district court proceedings. presumably that would vacate its denial of the stay that you had asked from the district court order. if we reinstated the district court order, you would have a stay in place, wouldn't you? mr. hearron: so technically, there are two stays in place, one that was issued by the district court and one that was issued by the fifth circuit. and if you were to vacate those stays, in the interim, then we would be able to go back to the district court and ask for an interim believe in the district court. justice sotomayor: were you granted a stay of enforcement of the law? mr. hearron: were we granted - justice sotomayor: by the district court? mr. hearron: we have never gotten to that point, your honor. justice sotomayor: ah, okay. thank you. mr. hearron: yes. we -- we did not yet - justice sotomayor: i forgot. mr. hearron: we - justice sotomayor: thank you. mr. hearr

chief justice roberts: thank you. justice kagan? justice kagan: may i ask more about the bop experience? i mean, as i understand it, there were 13 recent executions, in 11 there were spiritual advisors there. you said that all of them, you allowed vocalization throughout the process, but in only one was there touching, and that before the drugs were administered. is that basically -- did i get that right? feigin: yes, your honor, with -- with two very small caveats. it's a little bit unclear, just because no one was focusing on this when they made their records, it's a little bit unclear whether all the vocalization included vocalization during the administration of the drugs. it may have; it may not have. and also i think in one case it was just conversation before and not actual -- justice kagan: here's what i would like to know. i guess i would like to get a little more texture about how the process played out. in other words, you know, when you got these requests, what you , being the bop, what did the bop do? were there discuss

i max kaiser time had to go to robert rain love he is the what is money show, robert, what makes max? why the beer? alrighty. let's get right into it. by the way, she mentioned, we are in miami, couple of big con conferences. you're speaking at highly in demand robert breedlove . after a series of excellent essays, you can find them on line that really philosophical. but in a way that's very bitcoin centric. now, i may ask you this if you had only one or 2 minutes to describe it, what is money? what's not money and how to people get mistaken by this and only 2 minutes ahead. robert said no pressure. yeah. yeah. so i think with money, one of my favorite descriptions of it is that it's a contract with a future or a contract with time. so we all know that we go to work and sacrifice our time for money. and then that is essentially a social construct that we can then take and go and redeem time from others. and without this inter temporal contract between ourselves and our future solves and future others. there's no civilization, right? like we, they're treating cooperate or we fight over

robert said no pressure. yeah. so i think with money, one of my favorite descriptions of it is that it's a contract with a future or a contract with time. so we all know that we go to work and sacrifice our time for money. and then that is essentially a social construct that we can then take and go and redeem time from others. and without this inter temporal contract between ourselves and our future solves and future others. there's no civilization, right? like we, they're treating cooperate or we fight over all the while it's available. so there's a lot of definitions to this by the way, i've written of like 50 different answers to that question. so i don't never know which one to pick or right. so in summary, in that it's able, you're able to take the work that you did today into the future that's for exchange for something in the future. now the u. s. dollar, let's talk about that for a 2nd. inflation is officially at 6.2 percent. some of the corporate media are saying that we should celebrate inflation. i see t

then i said lincoln, grant, robert e lee.aw a lot of nodding their i said look, you may not know who these guys are, you may not know any details of their life for when i said their name, and image brought into your head and attached to it whether historically right or wrong, some characteristics. that's the influence i'm talking about that permeates to the levels of the uninitiated. they're going to have an opinion in their minds i about important figures of the war and i want to emphasize everything i am talking about pertains to those campaigns, those times that transcended themselves and become almost symbols of things. the battle of trudeau's elbow probably would make it but gettysburg, sherman's march, appomattox, i think they all fall into those categories. i think in many of those cases, influencers help fill in memory blanks on the veterans who try that. i've made some changes in the morning and i have arrows here and arrows there. look, there's another force that helped shape them. there is a process that happened a

ok, let's take that point to robert. if we can, then, i guess the question is really, how far do you think the west, particularly the us, is willing to go in supporting taiwan and supporting taiwanese independence? right. there's a lot of economic arguments against going all the way in 2020 china over to the u. s. is the top trade partner in 2020 china was also the u. s. is top tray. yeah. and i know that economic leverage makes it much, much trickier again. but the big distinction with the soviet union, right, we're able to play a sort of harder game at times. and so we weren't dependent on them. and i would imagine that the chinese will use to economic leverage, you know, to just push back on this as well as the 2 economies begin to the link. and i do think that's coming. i do think united states particularly is going to start on the line. it's economic relationship with china that will take a. ready while, but as it does that will allow the united states to strike a sort of harder position open. what is the moment i d
