because you made me love john wilkes booth. i said you haven't read the book that i wrote what he was a rapist and murderer and he was abraham lincoln so we have to write about the evildoers and not make them the hero or antihero he is not the antihero he is a terrible hand. kennedy was a great man. i interpret how i write the stories because i don't want anyone what they were doing and the consequences. and it's too easy to dismiss someone as evil then you don't know why or who they were. it leads to a greater understanding. almost the evil after a favor and sweep them off that page of history it is troubling to find out who they were or to realize how easily an anonymous person coming from nowhere can change history that is why we want to believe in conspiracy theories because we cannot accept that a nobody from nowhere could take down lincoln or kennedy or robert kennedy or martin luther king. the universe doesn't seem to be in proper order because of kennedy or king can't be protected what chance do we have in our own lives

secretary, robert wilke. we know that the veterans choice program is out there just announced, a day or so ago, for our veterans to be able to choose some of the doctors and medical care on their own. that's been a big issue within veterans affairs after we've seen scandal with our military members formerly waiting on long waiting lists. might what about they talk about. that's a huge point. i bring that up. john roberts, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> harris: let's bring in andy biggs, from arizona and the house judiciary committee and member of the american freedom caucus. i'm glad you're here for the ride. let talk about what's happening with the special counsel situation. one year later, your thoughts. >> well, i can't believe that we're still one year later. you have to remember that it's one year with the special counsel the fbi was involved for almost a year ahead of that. we're looking two years. i think robert mueller's investigation is over, he needs to pull the plug, he's way over the scope,

sessions, secretary zinke, secretary acosta, secretary perry, secretary devos, and acting secretary wilke who has done an incredible job at the va and i'll be informing him in a little while that we'll be putting his name up. >> jon: we'll take you away from the white house as the president makes remarks on prison reform. >> additional information will be forthcoming. right now it is very limited. we're just one of the agencies that responded out here to offer support. that's what we have out here. multiple fatalities. between 8 to 10. the majority being students. one male is in custody and a second one again was a person of interest. both are believed to be students here at the school and that's what we have at this moment. this happened a little before 8:00 this morning. >> about the type of weapon. >> we don't know that yet. all the details about specific injuries and firearms evidence will come later. i don't know the exact time. it's my understanding it happened right before school started. i guess it happened between 7:30 and 8:00 is my understanding. i don't have the exact time. he

course, the nomination of due ll wilke, in part, was to pressure from the wider public. so, you know, i probably did not give attention or sufficient issue.on to that later, the came ature of the attack at pearl harbor, i do think, the deft and fdr moved y in which the united states to a position yeah, post pearl harbor. demise, if y swift you like, for america first, for obvious reasons. some of the more important or equally important politics regards to came later with harry truman, successes politically at that time. i'm hoping chris will speak republican party. in regards to the grassroots, in jeffersonian s notion of the united states garden. its own the second world war as a rocess, just devastated this notion, this charles beard's continental american nix and it's not that this was happening in the 1930s and 1940ses. there was a very important book bout sea power in history, and in some ways, in this book and other articles and so on, spoke processes that would ecome known later as globalization, and they were difficult to fend off. ifficult, you know, what he wan

first, byron is joining us from wilkes-barre, pennsylvania on the republican line.ood morning. >> caller: good morning. i'd like to make a comment on the reason why the republican party was able to support richard nixon, as well as they did in '68. richard nixon did something in 1960 that was quite unusual in politics. you have to remember, he refused to come forward and be a part of a coalition that wanted him to challenge the vote in pennsylvania and also in illinois. and as a result, he lost. if you recall that period of time. then you understand richard nixon a little better. >> robert merry? >> well, i think that's absolutely right. nixon did decline to challenge those vote questions. i think that there was some stealing of the votes that took place in illinois in and chicago under the machine of mayor daly. and in doing so, he manifested a pretty good element of character. i think he also showed some character when he became president after 1968. in not ever talking about the mess that he had inherited from lyndon johnson. he never said, look, i'm struggling,

in the beginning of april, secretary perry and acting secretary wilke did sign a new moa to work together that we have started to implement now. it i've more data than we already have resident that we plan to aggregate, so we have a very nice path forward. >> what process would you use to report back to congress, in other words, to say, look, this is working, we're making huge steps in the right direction? how do we get that from you? >> i think at your discretion, coming to you with the va side by side would be an effective means to do that. >> okay. thank you, madam chair. i'm going to yield back at this time. >> thank you, and i now recognize mr. veasey for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. i wanted to ask a couple questions on data privacy and cybersecurity. dr. kusnezov, the information collected for the big data science initiative is obviously very sensitive information. almost 600,000 veterans have voluntarily given dna and other samples that can be used. and what i want to know is how is the va and the doa working together to implement federal requirements for cybersecurity

as c-span viewers are aware, president trump named robert wilke the acting head of the veterans affairs. that is his nominee for the job. he has led the v.a. since president trump fired david shulkin by tweet back in march. he comes from the pentagon where he is the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness and previously served as assistant secretary for defense unit george w. bush administration. talking to veterans and their family members only on this memorial day in this first hour of our program about the transition from military life to civilian life am also looking for your tweets as well. steve tweeted this morning -- margaret is in texas. margaret, go ahead. caller: good morning, c-span. in 2000. my husband i worked on a military base and we met and we got married and he was a military veteran. when i met him, he was already suffering from posttraumatic stress and many different issues from the military. reapplied, after my pushing him, he reapplied for benefits for disability and ended up when he passed away, came back from 100% disabled veteran service related in

combat to a nation that's sort of in social disarray like we are, i think it's extremely hard >> robert wilkes he the right guy for this job? >> i don't know anything about him personally i hope he is the vets deserve it. >> is there somebody you think would be better? >> i don't know. i don't -- that's not a way that i've looked at the problem i looked at what happens to people in combat or even in units that aren't in combat but are deployed i don't know about the bureaucratic end of it well. >> what does happen? >> two things. if you're in the 10% of soldiers in combat, you're potentially traumatized by violence. as a journalist, i've been around a lot of violence it definitely effects you. you have this platorelationship your platoon and unit. once you're comunl experience, it's the way humans have lived for years. put us in our an scestral past when you do that whether you've been in combat or not, they have a hard time readjusting. >> we have several big corporations, jpmorgan comes to mind, who have really tried to go and find veterans and find places for them in their corporations not
