Polly and Bob.
Let's take a picture with the kids.

:05:06
Sit right there on the table.
:05:10
[Doctor] Bob is a tireless worker.
Unbridled energy.

:05:13
As his doctor,
I tell him to slow down. He won't.

:05:16
Without his organisation Broken Dove,
this clinic would not exist.

:05:21
[Aide] I want you all to say, "Vote Bob".
:05:23
Vote Bob!
:05:25
What did the teacher tell you
in school today, in school today?

:05:30
What did the teacher tell you
in school today, my child?

:05:35
He said it's a crime to say a little prayer
:05:40
He said God's no longer wanted here
:05:45
Oh, that's what the silly teacher
told you in school

Robert Roberts Junior was born
on January 3rd, 1955

:05:54
in St Vincent's Hospital, Philadelphia.
:05:57
In his early years, Bob lives on a commune
in rural Pennsylvania.

:06:00
It was an idealistic attempt.
:06:03
This was the late '50s, pre-hippie.
:06:06
We tried to establish a community based
on the idea of collective responsibility.

:06:10
It's a crazy idea. It was nuts.
:06:13
It was an unrealistic environment
for a child to grow up in.

:06:17
We moved to Philadelphia
when Bobby was three.

:06:21
It'll be cold today. Chilly, chilly as the leaves
of autumn make way for the wind of winter.

:06:26
Early snow was reported in some mountain
regions but don't dust off the skis yet, folks.

:06:31
Here in Philly it's a brisk 43.
:06:34
Now, Kelly Noble interiews
senatorial candidate Bob Roberts.

:06:38
I must say that I'm not a fan of your music.
I find it offensive.

:06:42
I wouldn't vote for you
if my life depended on it.

:06:46
Good morning, Philadelphia.
Our guest today is Bob Roberts,

:06:50
Pennsylvania senatorial candidate
and folk singer.

:06:53
Our viewers are curious about where it began.
Where did it start for you?

:06:57
Where did what start?
:06:59
Was it a small colonial home
