but i keep remembering something that lyndon johnson said.we can always go back and amend it. and i feel it was an accomplishment to get a health care bill through congress -- >> but what was the issue that people raise about just the style, which is he delegate too much of the stimulus or even health care to congress? do you think he should have been more active, or i mean, the alternative view is, look, the republicans are strong, the important thing is to get something done. would johnson have taken a more activist role? >> well, you can answer that definily. johnson would have been on the phone every minute with the leaders of congress. to watch him work on people -- you know, everybody says johnson was always talking, not so. you listen to him on -- when he wants somebody, when he wants something from somebody, he'll let the senator talk and let the senator talk. and all you hear from johnson sometimes is uh-huh, uh-huh. until he hears what he wants to hear. what's the lever he can push with this guy? what does he want? you know, and the

is there any evidence that bill clinton met lyndon johnson? he would have been a college student around that time. but is there, are there any photographs? >> we asked clinton if -- because i suspected that if he had had a chance, he would have. [laughter] >> and, in fact, in the his office n president clinton's office is a signed picture from lyndon johnson that had to be 40 years -- >> there's a story. the story's great. you know, he just, clinton just reviewed the robert caro book in "the new york times" on sunday which we thought was an excellent club idea, and we supported it as club authors. we thought that was good. [laughter] in 1972 clinton is tapped by george mcgovern to run texas for mcgovern which as lost causes go -- [laughter] is one of the great lost causes. texans for mcgovern. [laughter] hopeless. who was the only ally they thought they had, the people running texas? lyndon johnson, except he wasn't really sure he would form -- for mcgovern either. so the day comes when mcgovern and tom eagleton go to the ranch just before the

break out the equipment and search for actual human remains, something that was done months ago in lyndon. this has not yet started. reports out of sacramento say that this could happen as soon as next week. other departments have also requested that shermantine be taken to their cities and counties to help them identify where more remains might be. but at this point, no plans to do that. jr stone, kron4 news. >> still ahead, we'll hear from an angry parent after a bacterial infection outbreak at a california hospital. a new study suggests marijuana use could lead to a lower iq. who is affects the most. we'll join the republican national convention, including mitt romney's wife. and a look at the burglary suspect who took a beating from l. l. cool jay. >>> tonight's headliner at the republican national convention was not a politician. ann romney addressed the crowd and the country. it's a speech that her husband's campaign hopes will attract voters who have felt disconnected. >> tonight i want to talk to you from my heart about our heart. >> reporter: woman behind the candidate, and she m

kennedy must be given to president lyndon johnson and hubert humphrey. chris: then in 180, teddy, the last brother, spoke to an adoring convention after he lost the challenge, his challenge to jimmy carter. >> for me a few hours ago this campaign came to an end. for all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die. chris: when we come back, what both obama and romney and their camps could learn from history, and especially what they know they have to avoid. plus, scoops and predictions. be right back. chris: welcome back. both obama and romney will go into the conventions knowing they have to first do no harm. with so much riding on this moment in the sun on national tv, they can't trip up like some candidates have in the past. barry goldwater found out the hard way that what might excite folks in the hall might also sink your hopes in the fall. >> extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. >> that also backfired on fritz mondale in 1984. >> mr. reagan will raise tax

and we all know that that was a troubled time for both lyndon johnson and president kennedy. they were certainly different in just about every aspect, so, um, it was a time of trial, certainly, in lyndon johnson's life. and then as he is passing into the presidency this is, i think, one of the more interesting times to see this from the background. i have to say i think robert caro does an incredible job having looked at other books and heard them talk about both this book and the others, he is so nonjudgmental, he tells the good and the bad and lets people decide for themselves what they think is important. and i think he has captured so much and done so much research. he went down and lived around johnson city to kind of see in the early growing-up years what lyndon johnson's life would have been like. and each time he has gone further, he has done just detailed research, amazing amounts of research. so i think he is an excellent writer, and, um, i was privileged to invite him to speak to a group of republican senators at one point. and he came, and we had a very interestin

it was a time of trials, certainly in lyndon johnson's life. as he is passing into the presidency. this is one of the more interesting times to see this from the back -- the background. i have to say that i think that robert caro does an incredible job. having looked at his other books and heard him talk about both this book and the others, he is so nonjudgmental. he tells the good and the bad and let people decide for themselves what they think is important. and i think that he has captured so much and done so much research. he went down and lived around johnson city in the early growing up years, what lyndon johnson's life would've been like. each time he has gone further, he has done detailed research. an amazing amount of research. i think he is an excellent writer. and i was privileged to invite him to speak to a group of republican senators at one point. we had a very interesting back-and-forth. back and forth. the senators, of course, were interested. and the experiences that lyndon johnson had as a majority leader and the tactics he used, which is very different from leader

this goes back earlier than lyndon johnson.mas jefferson and john adams were calling each other crooks and liars and grover cleveland's opponents attacked him for having children out of wedlock. this goes back from since the beginning of the reap. republic. what i think is different this time is it's all happenin happen realtime. the media landscape has changed enough that we're no longer in a daily news cycle, we are in a minute-by-minute news cycle. campaigns are being waged on twitter in 140 characters or less. and so... and it's really difficult to have a thoughtful discussion on issues in 140 characters or less. and i think that's import a challenge for the cam pains. it's also also in part a challenge for the media that cover the campaigns is nay get sucked into this. >> ifill: what is driving this particular spate? the last 48 hours. is it the selection of the vice presidential candidates who are supposed to be attack dogs? is that what sped everything up? >> i think it's interesting. because it... as you notice, the pre

bob karrow's book on lyndon johnson, his fourth book has a huge section there talking about the months before kennedy was assassinated and after lyndon johnson took office and both kennedy and johnson were desperately trying to get congress to pass a tax cut package across the board so that they could get growth again going into the 1964 election. this isn't just republican dogma, this is real. and the hard leftists of that taken this president's mind over have convinced him that tax cuts for those who make investments is a good political position to fight and to denigrate the rich and the successful in america. >> john, i know you want to respond. i'm not trying to cut you off but we have time restraints. we will come back and have more with governor sununu and one of the chief architects of the economy, goolsbee is here. and the outrageous bias when it comes to the treatment of ann romney by the mainstream media and we have examples of how they treat her versus whoa, look at all those toys. insuring that stuff must be a pain. nah, he's probably got... [ dennis' voice ] allstate. they

lyndon johnson implied barry goldwater would start a nuclear war. grover cleveland?dlock-"ma ma where's my pa? andrew jackson was accused of killing a man, and having a wife who was a bigamist. john quincy adams? it was said he procured prostitutes for the russian tsar. thomas jefferson? john adam's supporters once said his election would result in, "murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest." so until we get charges oo robbery, nuclear war-starting, or prostitute procuring, maybe this will have to wait . the president is taking things to a new low. they might be mean, cruel and cynical, but negative campaigns are not blights on history,they are our history. -----end----- cnn.script----- manny machado's firt mistake... mistake...see if it cost the o's... next in sports.

kennedy ended up speaking lyndon b. johnson.ory. >> well, you know, there was great speculation in 1960 of who kennedy should pick as well documented bobby kennedy could not stand lyndon johnson. but at the last minute kennedy released he needed lbj to carry texas. there sure was a good idea. there was a lot of evidence to show that richard nixon would have won in '60. there was last drama. since then, the vice president choices are picked before, and it's just sort of a big roll-out party for the team. one thing to keep your eyes on that is interesting, which candidate gets bigger applause. will ryan get a thunderous applause than mitt romney or will hillary clinton get more cheers than barack obama? everybody is now tv viewers people look for a lot of body language and little cues to things because the script is very very scripted. >> jennifer: well, let's listen to a quick sound byte from patrick buchanan as the 1992 g.o.p. convention. >> the agenda that clinton and clinton would impose on america. abortion on demand. a litmu

and in this case, again, someone we didn't know, the president of our country, lyndon johnson's courage to sign and authorize the civil rights act of 1964 easing the color line in hiring, permitted me to be brave enough to go out and to apply for a job doing work i'd seen no one else do. no matter how often i recited my mann take -- my mantra, to not be afraid of the space between my dreams and reality, promising myself that if i dreamed it, i could make it happen. i could make it come true. but without the courage of those who had marched defiantly, rode buses, sat in at lunch counters and took the beatings and cruelty that went with seeking justice in those times, my dreams would not have been possible. it is a promise of america that keeps me and millions around the world dreaming, hoping, working, and pledging to not be afraid of the unknown. that space between our dreams and our reality. because we're counting on those of you stellar scholars, powerful leaders, to continue to love liberty and the promise of america and fight for justice to help us realize our dreams. i'm so honored

. >> reading robert caro's latest volume of lyndon johnson the memory came to mind of a wonderful cartoon by paul conrad showing a wise figure beginning to write the history of the johnson administration with his right hand while lyndon johnson had his arm in a lock and dictating what was going to be in the memoirs. question for both of you to john, you find your book something to be preoccupied with his legacy? are you preoccupied with your legacy? >> you did one of the first reviews that pointed out that the legacy project for which i am chief historian is not interested in geography in any way. the ground rules when i took the job were that we were going to do meaningful work not subject to favor but the subjects themselves didn't get to be the editor and slade from the get go wouldn't have wanted that. he was very understanding about some of the harsh things people had to say. don't know if he bristled not in private but it was an interesting experience. his wife was an absolute amazing resources. one of the things about the book is it offers brad about what it is like to be a politic

it 1960 when lyndon delivered texas to john kennedy that a running mate brought something in terms of elect roral college. can he deliver wisconsin. >> that is possible. he brings a seriousness and knowledge and principle about the positive solution that embraced fundmental american principles and what he's about in his entire career in congress and always looking for solutions. never one to dwell on the problems or the challenges. he's always solutions oriened and a man of remarkable and great character and a wonderful family that america got to see with the three children and janna, his wife. they will do everybody proud. >> congressman, we talked about this with the panel. paul ryan with a long history and seen as a technicrat. where is the relatable back story that voters out there in the country in particular independents can grasp on to in terms of trying to make the ticket very appealing to independent voters? >> look paul ryan is the fellow who got elected in a district that voted democratic in the top of the ticket. he has huge cross over appeal and great support and he comes

he claims a reno woman who went missing in 1996 was killed by loren herzog and buried in lyndon. >> a statement from the fbi be office saying in so many words that shermantine's information is looking less credible over time. >> reporter: a reason why they are trusting of the reno police department. >> for anyone to say that he's no longer credible to me, that says they're forgetting about the fact that he has already returned five loved ones home. but it is important to him that he be allowed to work with the reno police department because he trusts that they will follow up on all of the information that he gives. >> reporter: when he will be let out of prison to help in a search like this one, it is unclear. but kathleen tells me she's hopeful it happens in the next few weeks. >>> fire investigators believe that a blaze in los gatos is suspicious. that fire sparked at about 6:00 tonight near highway 85. three cars were destroyed. the fire burned grass, downed trees and brush in the area. witnesses saw three people running from the fire after it started. nobody was injured. >>> in sa

extremism in defense of liberty -- >> barry goldwater, the 1964 republican candidate who lost to lyndon b. johnson and 730 eastern and pacific. this weekend on c-span3. >> at the foot of that bridge, i was speaking. -- beaten. i thought i was going to die. >> 1965, john lewis took part in a voting rights march in montgomery alabama 0 that took him across a bridge. >> we came within hearing distance of the state troopers. a man identified himself and said, i am a major of alabama state troopers. this is an unlawful march and it will not be allowed to continue. one of the young people walking beside me said give us a moment to kneel and pray. the major said -- >> "a cross that bridge." sunday at 8:00 p.m. on c-span's "q&a." >> this is a discussion on the state of campaign finance following the supreme court to texas and united decision. panelist said that groups that do not have to comply with disclosure laws are outspending those that do. they also talked about how changes in campaign finance could affect this year's presidential and congressional elections. from the bipartisan policy ce

i understand they haven't done that since lyndon johnson was president. is that the type of thing that would help? >> yes, it would, i didn't know they were considering it. you spread it and kills mosquitoes. you can knock down mosquito populations very quickly. >> thank you, joining us from vanderbilt university. and hope that this doesn't get worse and those in texas feeling the effect of the drought. thank you. >> you bet, my pleasure. >> tomorrow muslims around the world will gather for the last friday prayers of ramadam. and in this middle east there is cooperation of two faiths allowing this unique program to flourish. >> we were looking for a place to accommodate worshipers. >> when looking for friday prayers, he found it at some place unexpected. the synagogue. >> there is something about furthering this love and friendship that we have. >> this is a community that believes in the fellowship of all people of faith. >> out in the world, muslims and jews have been fighting each other for decades. but here in northern virginia they have found an isla

lyndon johnson ran the famous daisy ad, that was about as low as a you can get, where he accused barrydwater that he wanted to blow us all up. >> ifill: it ran one time, though. >> the media picked it up. people did see it. the incumbent runs for the office and the challenger runs against the incumbent. i think the prident has decided th he n't run against his record, he's clearly running against mitt romney. but having said that, i think romney's a loser in this. because he is totally off message. you just saw that interview on cbs news. he's not talking about his plan for increased jobs, saving health care, reform. he's talking about what a nasty mean campaign the president has. and that doesn't serve his purposes. >> ifill: let's get back to that in a moment. i'm curious about what mo el thee thinks about whether this is the nastiest campaign you've ever seen. >> every campaign seems to be the nastiest campaign. i agree with rick. this goes back earliethan lynd johnson. thomas jefferson and john adams were calling each other crooks and liars and grover cleveland's opponents attacked

another guy in that category but to a lesser extent, but to a significant extent as lyndon johnson who had massive accomplishments. he basically brought himself down to his vietnam. let's talk about grant. >> all of these guys that are the so-called failures are one charmers except for nixon. and except for the one outlier, and that is ulysses-esque ranford grant is considered a failure, although he is rising in the estimation of history. he was succeeded by his own party and now it gets a little bit complicated. he was succeeded by his own party in 1876. if only as a result of corrupt manipulation of the electoral college by the republicans were unable to do that because of the occupation. ulysses-esque rant full-term was a success, not a huge one, but indicative we a success. it was characterized by a frothy economic boom or the voters had no particular reason to toss him out of office based on the economy. the second term however was characterized by financial scandals involving white house and cabinet officials. he didn't take it as seriously as perhaps he should have. there is a s

i'm not saying it will have the same result, but it's very similar to that debate where you have lyndon jnson, a democrat who felt that the government could solve these problems, and was useful, and you had a conservative candidate in barry goldwater who argued that the private sector is the best way and less government is more. >> so what do you think the word is from the public? did the president's administration do enough since 2008 to address the root causes of the financial crisis to build a better future? >> i think that people have varying opinions about that. i think no one can say that the president's focus was laser like on jobs in the beginning or that job growth is what anyone wants to sigh. on the other hand, you can say, and i think accurately, that if it had not been for the bank bailout, we would be in much, much worse shape. i do think at the very top 1% is going back to business as usual, there's a feeling from ordinary americans, wait a minute. what am i missing here? how come they bounced back and i haven't? and people on the left, right, and center have different ex

i missed it once and waited a whole year regretting the lost chance to track the lyndon leaves tiny migration. the next fall, refusing to endure that state of desolation again i asked everyone who loved me to please meet me just south of the border. we ordered green mussels and popcorn shrimp. the shrimp beat the mussels to the table. i drank for pleasure but since i left that state i hadn't found anything delicious so iate all the mussels. crouched, later in that state betrayal that come from learning some green things are not good. considering the law averages that a body in motion stays in motion unless faced with an equal or opposite force, peer pressure, skitology the projected near devastation of world forest should population the motdz of toilet paper consumption. germs vary. my role in the pressing the mean agent of common human hygiene i knew i never wanted to be near that state again. with extradition i was hardly away at all. when i first rolled over my parents were pleased and i left the state of never having rolled before. ditto, something on all fours to crawling. and once i cou

lyndon johnson had the civil rights movement. i think we begin with that. this book comes out at a moment when the country sees the power and possibility of occupy, 99%, and how that has shifted. it is still evolving. it has shifted the center of political gravity of our dialogue. the issue has been off the radar for so long. >> roosevelt surfed and harnessed those movements. he used them to get legislation passed to initiate programs. obama is still getting on his wet suit. to read the essay she wrote in 2008, there was a sense of exhibits -- exuberance. you say that hope is not optimism that expects things to turn out well. it seems like he confused those two things. >> i will come back to what i write about in the book. the expectations were so great and high. go back to 2008. the back to the election and year when we are fortunate region were fortunate enough to be living with debates that were not cruel reality shows. every week, there were debates among the democratic candidates. barack obama embodied change. it seemed he brought into politics a gener
