mr. toobin: you ascribe a logic and plan to my career that doesn't exist. i covered the o.j. simpson case in real time and wrote a book about it. 20 years later they made the wonderful miniseries. there is a big gap there. in the meantime, i wrote two books about the supreme court, a book about the recount in florida and the clinton scandal. they are legally related but i have to say, this is the first book i have written at the border between journalism and history. most of the people were still alive. it was enough in the past that i was writing about not current events. charlie: and the patty hearst case, who was accessible and not accessible? mr. toobin: patty hearst was not accessible and she didn't want to talk about it which i completely understand. unfortunately, bernie shaw, her former bodyguard who she married died in 2013. she is a widow, a grandmother, very involved in raising show dog. charlie: champion show dogs. mr. toobin: rocket, her winning dog. she sort of moved on. one

john themn who will read immortal words written by abraham lincoln. please join me in welcoming him. [applause] >> thank you. ago,score and seven years our forefathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. we are met on a great battlefield of that war. we have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. it is altogether fitting and proper we should do this, but in a larger sense we cannot consecrate, cannot we cannot hallow this ground. the cavemen living and dead who struggled here have consecrated power toove our poor add or detract. note ord will little remember what we say here. it can never forget what they did here. it is for us, the living, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly adva

mr. silkenat: counterfactuals are always fun. i think the alternative, if you imagine lincoln had gone and told grant and sherman, push for hard terms. that would've made it that much harder for lee to surrender, for johnson to surrender, for these confederates to surrender. the war would've lasted months longer, thousands of lives would've been lost. doing the calculus on what the short-term benefits, long-term effects, it is very hard to do. >> thank you. >> hi. i'm going to follow up on that question there. therefore, peter carmichael without his scarf indicated wish and not talk about issues of inevitability. what you're indicating here is that like it or not, respecting the right of confederates to save face at the end of the war simply promoted a spirit of resistance, and on the other hand, not to disregard that imperative, what in fact embittered confederates even more. so, this does open up the question of then what kind of war termination strategy would have led to a much more compliant ex-confederate citizenry -- during

lincoln refused to have a day of mourning. brian: he left some of his kids out of his will. mr. kendall his first family, he : left them out of his will. i argue he kind of betrayed his country and had this penchant for betraying his kids. at the same time, what is so interesting about tyler's he was kind of a wheel ordeal and got some things done. his biggest economic was getting us texas. he was kind of a trickster. i guess what i'm really interested in looking at fathering is trying to capture the complexity of human beings, and fathering is kind of a way into character. we tend to think that this is a bad guy or a good guy, but you see that a lot of these men who had been president had different parts. they were compartmentalized and some can be very laudable and some could be disappointing and horrify us. brian: where do you live? mr. kendall: boston. brian: what do you do? mr. kendall: author. brian: full-time? when did that start? mr. kendall: this is my fourth. -- force by. i've been writing one every few years. brian: what did you do before that? mr. kendall: journalist

abraham lincoln should not be relegated to a brass plate that people pass by. and i hope that the house of representatives heeding along with the senate the remarks and the eloquence of mr. mccullough will take that into consideration for future generations so that this eloquent room might be once again restored to its grandeur. for 30 years, the capitol historical society has been passing out fellowships. those have led to the research and dedication and history that is so rich here in this great building and in this great country of ours.ours. david, this evening, you made it possible in honoring you through the donations of so many people for us to expand upon that. it is my great honor as is a tradition in the house of representatives when we're honoring people, we fly a flag over the united states capitol to commemorate their great achievement and accomplishment. you are for history and especially for american history what walter cronkite was for so many americans in television. you are the most trusted voice in america. it is such an honor to be with you

abraham lincoln was nearly suicidal and persevered and came back. trump would probably call him weak. fdr lost his ability to walk and came back. you learn from making mistakes. you manage negative emotions as you said and learn somehow to listen. you have empathy for people. that is a quality that make up temperament. i think this race is about temperament. i absolutely do. >> alex, i got to get you in on this. >> we election a choice between temperament and character. is it a new testament election where things are going swimmingly and we turn the other cheek or is this an old te testament election where we could lose it all and eye for an eye. so i think yes, there are a lot of questions about temperament but character and strength are important here, too. we're in washington. we're the protected class. we're going to survive this election without disturbance no america. this is a choice for a lot of families. i think we ought to have a little more -- temperament can be a little aggressive sometimes, sure, but you need strength to hold the countr
