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 of 1862, robert elite is robert daly. he is not just a son in law of george washington custis. if he had gone into any virginia confederate court, and said i do not want to go through with this, i shouldn't have to go through with this, i seriously doubt whether any virginia confederate court would have stopped him. if you want to derail the whole process, who was going to stand in the path of general lee? the other interesting thing is, that lee persists and moving forward with the samantha patient. not only emancipation -- in his own name, which he was not obliged by the custis state. by the beginning of 1863, robert e. lee's slave list. what is morris he has badgering jefferson davis. he is saying the confederacy must emancipate its slaves. because otherwise, we are never going to have any kind of standing in the eyes of the rest of the world. by the spring of 1865 is advocating the emancipation and recruitment of slaves for the confederate army. now, in both terms, it's easy to see that he was doing this out of pragma

roberts? mr. roberts: a couple of points. on looking for it and finding it, we know in the last election at the former president's insistence, his attorney general bill barr did what they call a thorough review and a look for voter fraud to meet the president's claims of a stolen election. they did not find it. they did not find the type of widespread issues that mr. fund and others are talking about that would have changed the course of the presidential election. if bill barr could not find it, i am not sure what mr. fund is talking about. let me finish. thank you so much. on the notion of racialized and voter fraud, i have not done that here. but it is interesting that in the last election, the city is targeted by the former president to say that their ballots were invalid for all manner of reasons included detroit and philadelphia and mr. fund mentioned my hometown. i wonder why it is that when seeking to invalidate votes in the last election, the former president decided to go after majority black and brown cities and vot

roberts: las preguntas eran muchas.tado tranquilo. mucha gente me ha dicho “mira allÁ vas a tener mÁs oportunidades, vas a ganar mÁs dinero”. pero yo estaba muy enfocado era en la familia. roberts: ¿es fÁcil mÉxico para inmigrantes? nava: no, de ninguna manera. yo pasÉ humillaciones, pasÉ... bueno, yo digo que para cualquier inmigrante hay unos que corren con suerte y otros que no. roberts: Él cuenta que una maÑana, rumbo a su trabajo, ocurriÓ un incidente desagradable. nava: me montÉ en un transporte pÚblico, lo que le dicen “combi” aquÍ en mÉxico y cuando me vieron mi acento me mandaron a bajarme. roberts: ¿cÓmo asi? nava: que me bajara de la unidad y que me regresara para mi paÍs. roberts: otros inmigrantes, dadas las circunstancias en estados unidos, ahora ven a mÉxico con otros ojos. >> pues, la verdad es que aquÍ, aunque no lo crean, pero aquÍ es un paÍs libre, hay trabajo y la verdad es que he estado por acÁ, la gente me ha recibido bien y no he tenido problemas con nadie. roberts: alexander dice que saliÓ de hon

so when you talk to robert caro, you aren't going to history school is you know. and when you look at his achievements with the linden johnson biographies and how you have written about power in the presidents as well and what is your reflection it around lbj in american history, was the positives of johnson's presidency and the perils of his presidency. >> is easier to describe the creation of the universe. [laughter] and as robert caro is funny becauseec there are many highs d many lows and you have to sort them out and you have to dig. you and i, we were talking the other day about that you have ask the question it, is it historian or journalist and how good it is history and the answer is often it is at its best when it is too late, other words, johnson is gone and he is out of the presidency and he is deceased. in this internet age of impatience and speed, i think that you have to ask the question of how good is his three but when is it going to be available to people and i think the sooner the better. at the same time, nobody can match robert caro with his g

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 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 did not yet -- justice sotomayor: i forgot. thank you. chief justice roberts: justice gorsuch? justice gorsuch: i do have a couple of questions. on the chill

thanks a lot. [ applause ] >> thank you, so much, robert robert caro. this was spell-binding, should i say? you just are so wonderful. we can listen to you all day. >> thank you. >> now we can listen more with some of the audience's questions. now, you did give us some clues, but the audience member wants to know, what drew you to write about lyndon johnson? >> what drew me to write about lyndon johnson? >> yes. >> so, well, you know, everything, when you talk about it, it sounds like you have this plan, and everything was rational. i can't really say that that's true. what actually happened was in order to get enough money to right the power broker, i had a two-book contract, one for robert moses and one for a biography of laguardia. i didn't want to do the laguardia biography. one thing i can't stand is to do something i have done before, and i had already written about new york in the 1940s. but what i realized was i realized that only when i started that what the power broker was about or what i, hopefully, think it's about wasn't just about the lif

roberts? mr. roberts: a couple of points.looking for it and finding it, we know in the last election at the former president's insistence, his attorney general bill barr did what they call a thorough review and a look for voter fraud to meet the president's claims of a stolen election. they did not find it. they did not find the type of widespread issues that mr. fund and others are talking about that would have changed the course of the presidential election. if bill barr could not find it, i am not sure what mr. fund is talking about. let me finish. thank you so much. on the notion of racialized and voter fraud, i have not done that here. but it is interesting that in the last election, the city is targeted by the former president to say that their ballots were invalid for all manner of reasons included detroit and philadelphia and mr. fund mentioned my hometown. i wonder why it is that when seeking to invalidate votes in the last election, the former president decided to go after majority black and brown cities and voters.

was raised by eliza by the time john is born, roberts is a teenager and when he's a little way, roberts is into his early 20s and is a unique figure in the family. in one sense he is known to be a for special favorite of the patriarch everyone else describes the father was considered this formidable figure, much respected, sort of cold remote man and yet roberts was much more interactive. they were committed to this regimen of study. they wanted him to go to school but they would teach those in kentucky so he was taught at home, but because of that i think james gave robert a sort of freedom of movement so he became a pioneer because it was one of the few areas african-americans could compete and the reason for that was a lot of the early horse owners would have their enslaved men there's no barrier. you have to pull together a race where there was no race. there were these rituals that had to be followed. everyone had a gun. if you are john marshall harlan and a little boy in this regimen of study. with a pocket full of money from a horse race but robert, this sort of dashing figure th

[applause] >> thank you so much robert caro.this is spellbinding it is so wonderful so now to listen to the audience questions. what the audience member wants to know that what drew you to write about lyndon johnson? >> everything that you talk about and everything is rational. but to say that is true and then to write the powerbroker had to sign it to book contract that i really didn't want to do that biography but then to do something i have done before. and only that with the powerbroker what that was about it wasn't just about the life of the man but how urban political power works. that only textbooks but how it really works. it what i really wanted to do with national political power with lyndon johnson and understood power national power better than anyone else since roosevelt. but i thought my publisher would never let me get out of the laguardia contract so i really hated doing that. one day i guide a call from the publisher, from editor and said we all know you have a famous temper. i really don't have a bad temper.

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

the great robert caro. since the release of the powerbroker, nearly 50 years ago, bob gave us the gift of some of the finest books on politics, and policy, ever written. always, meticulously, researched, beautifully worded, and always cutting to the heart of the matter. capturing what drove people in power, making the decisions that they made. and, how those decisions affected real lives, both positively, and negatively. i will always remember the wonderful bob, in my office, in harlem, a few years ago, talking about history, and his writing process. they came away with an even greater appreciation for his work, and now that his archive is at the new york historical society, i cannot wait to visit it soon. who knows, bob, maybe you could give me a tour of that exhibit. but, only if it doesn't pull away from finishing that final volume of the lbj series. in all seriousness, i want to thank you for all you have done. to help expand our understanding of the past, the president, and leading to our ability to en

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

[ applause ] we have very honored to have the archive but also to have both bob caro and ina caro with us today. today's panel history and sbeg di in an age of misinformation is a special conversation inspired by robert a caro's distinguished work. just before i introduce our panelist, i would like to thank and recognize a number of trustee who is have j

we are so very honored to have robert caro on our stage today. mr. caro has twice won the pulitzer prize for biography, twice won the national book award, three times has won the national book critics circle award and also virtually every other major literary honor including the gold medal from the american academy of arts and letters, the prize awarded by the society of american historians, to the books the best exemplify the union of the historian and the artist. and our very own barbara and david american history book prize as well. mr. caro second national book award was for a lifetime achievement. in 2010 president barack obama awarded mr. caro the national humanities medal. in 2019 he published a memoir, working. mr. caro graduated from princeton, was later and nieman fellow at harvard, and worked for six years as an investigative reporter for newsday. he is currently at work on the fifth and final volume of the years of lyndon johnson. before we begin this part of the program i ask once again that you make sure that anything that makes a noise

then i said lincoln, grant, robert e lee. i saw 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 happen

robert, for the moment to thank you very much that was - to thank you very much that was robert forthurope. —— now a look at what is happening in europe. as we mentioned, amid rising infections, a number of countries are re—introducing coronavirus restrictions. aru na iyengar reports. countries across europe are responding in different ways to the rapidly spreading omicron virus. belgium, as it emerges from a fourth wave of covid infections, is bracing for a fifth. theatres and entertainment venues will have to close their doors on december the 26th, their busiest time of the year. translation: i absolutely agree that we should not take _ risks with public health. but, with these measures, we threaten the mental health of a lot of people. in spain, the government of pedro sanchez has increased the vaccination roll—out, extending this to children under the age of 12. mask—wearing will become compulsory outdoors for the second time. and, in the netherlands, with shops, restaurants and cinemas closed by dutch people and businesses face a very bleak christmas. rising cases mean hospitals

by the time john is born, roberts is a teenager and when he's a little boy, robert is into his early 20s and he is a sort of unique figure in the family in one sense he's known to be a special favorite of the patriarch who everyone else describes and we know in part because john's wife wrote a memoir after his death that the father was considered a formidable figure sort of much respected but cold remote man and yet he was much more interactive. the boys were expected to be lawyers like their father and were committed to the regiment of the study. more than the other kids had, roberts became a pioneer in the horse racing so it's one of the few areas african-americans could compete equally. the reason for that is the early horse donors were slave owners and would have enslaved men sort of jockeys and trainers there was no barrier to them becoming involved. but it was a pretty rough sport. you would have to go to these towns and build together a race where there's these rituals that had to be followed. everyone had a gun. the winnings had to be collected. so if you are john marshall ha

interesting to hear from statistics, robert carr.ark statistics, robert carr. interesting to hear from doctor clark learned about these figures and how they are rising quite significantly in the last week. what do you see particular from the ons today? the ons particular from the ons today? iie: ons figures particular from the ons today? tie: ons figures tell particular from the ons today? ti2 ons figures tell a story that we have been hearing about cases for some days, but really help us to understand just how spreadable omicron is. you read out case numbers there, they are at levels we haven't seen before. they do not include the reinfections. those case figures are probably a bit of an underestimate. the figures out from the oas ella today said 1.7 million people in the uk are infected with coronavirus at the moment, a number that has gone up by about a quarter over three days. it shows you that no matter how you look at it omicron is splitting very quickly, and we see the pressure that is putting on society. even if it doesn't ca

that's the thing, robert isn't as you are stating before coerce in and and force. there is a degree of separation between those 2. talking about austria, the roberts, the 1st e u country to announce mandatory corbett shots. that happens in february. people could be fine. $600.00 euro multiple times. if that scheme fails, would deter any other country from trying it out. well, i think we have to watch this really closely to see what is effective or what's not effective, but i think it even goes down to a really basic level. i me, when i'm out and about, i'm seeing people wearing masks more and more here in my part of the u. k, but they're not socially distancing. so it does what i mean, that kind of defeats some of the purpose of wearing them out the mouth then doesn't it? i think this trust and respect issue of people have about the politics and the governance that's going on here is really center to what we're thinking about how we're, how we're responding. and certainly, you know, their rationale is maybe to wait till february. but i think sometimes it just seems

all these years later, senator robert f.nedy's family is facing something they never imagined possible. for 53 years, sirhan sirhan has been in prison for assassinating robert f. kennedy, but as early as this month, he may be released. >> he is still dangerous. >> we'll talk to two of kennedy's children about sirhan sirhan, and what life has been like without their father, ahead on "sunday mornin" first lady biden has served her country and supported her country. our rita braver was recently invited along for the ride. >> reporter: first lady jill biden has already traveled to 35 states this year. i feel like i'm walking an historic path. >> well, you are, really. >> reporter: as she told us during a rare interview at camp david. why do you feel like it is important for people to see the first lady out there? >> i don't care if it is a red state or a blue state, joe is the president or all americans. >> reporter: and the president joins us at the white house later on "sunday mo" >> maggie gyllenhaal is an accomplished actor

please stay tuned for robert tipp. history never repeats itself, and the overwhelming reality now is the fiscal deficit and what washington may do. jonathan: there are some really key differences. 2% on inflation then, close to 7% now. the federal reserve was already hiking. we still got qb running north of $100 billion and they have to wind it down. there is some key differences. but the call from pgim over the last few months, they think the highs on 10 year yields are behind us, not in front of us, and this morning we are south of 1.40%. tom: the sharp differences we see on wall street, what is so important here is to dovetail it into the global view. james foley making really clear china, we have to watch every step. kailey: also making it clear that the strong dollar story is not over. that was a non-consensus view coming into 2021, but there's a lot of calls strategists got wrong. tom: let's review this quickly. what i saw were two stories out of china. one was in accommodative bank due to a real estate crisis, a

>> robert: very.g drastically changes, which there is no foreseeable relief in the near future, but we got to stay positive. >> bondi: for the first 34 years of the development of a town, you just couldn't conceive of what was ahead. what we had, whatever was, you know, the newest thing that was happening was so spectacular and wonderful and, oh my gosh, we've reached a new eastern edge or western, northern edge. the odds are slim to zero that we're going to extend to yet a further horizon. it was inconceivable. so there's the thing. so what does the desert do? it exceeds our ambition. >> anthony: in vegas, nothing is permanent. it constantly eats itself, tears down, builds up, expands according to no known or easily understood plan. an organic thing, responding to the dark dreams of the american subconscious. come frolic, live like caesar, or make money off those who do. drop a few moist bills at a gas station slot. see the full spectrum of human folly and commit some follies of your own . >>> this i

robert: x, lisa. -- thanks, lisa.cern is our central banks going to withdraw accommodation to quickly. as long as the fed is still purchasing assets and qe is ongoing, whether they are tapering or not, they are adding accommodation. we have seen chair powell acknowledgment and federal reserve. this is an economy that simply does not need additional accommodation. so the view right now is that we are likely to see reduce the pace of purchases and double pace of tapering at the upcoming meeting and get them out of the game of adding accommodation put her and then they have to wait and see. that is why we think they will take a second and sort of take a stock on what is going into the economy before they get into raising interest rates. lisa: a lot of people have been wondering if they will talk about the balance sheet and saying arguably that is the biggest risk. what is your view on how likely they will address possibly starting to let the balance sheet roll off at some point in the near future? robert: it would be app
