i really can't blame lbj for this -- there was something called to keep quiet policy. the policy was if your husband was shot down or your son, brother, whatever was shot down in the air or went missing, you were not allowed to talk about it, as a military wife or a military family. nothing. only under your host family members could you discuss the situation. this is untenable after not too long -- how could you go on with your daily life, not telling anyone your husband had been shots down and you did not know what was happening? under lyndon johnson, this policy was enforced. lyndon johnson also would not meet with the wives, he occasionally would meet with them, but only for photo op ops like this one, where you see sybil -- it was a shake your hand and how to you do and he was on to the next thing. keen for photo ops, but really was not wanting to meet with the wives. wanted to sweep this under the rug, because vietnam is the war that did not look good for him. great onhnson was domestic policy, the civil rights act, not so good on foreign policy -- vietnam became

that was during the key quiet period, so things change quite a bit from lg -- lbj to nixon. things were quite loud. >> you mentioned about senator dole and the may day rally in washington. >> the may day rally, may 1, 1970. d.c.is the second rally in that senator dole and east coast, west coast wives, sort of the leadership and what would become the national league, they had tried to get the families of prisoners were missing together in a rally. the first rally in february failed miserably. there were 300 people that showed up. and senator dole and sybil said this is not acceptable. we are going to fix this. we are going to fill constitution hall. this is the daughters of the american revolution headquarters there. seatsall is huge, it 3000, 4000 people. so senator and elizabeth dole ally together, and they fill that hall with over 3000 p.o.w. mia family members on may 1. and this is what i call the national league's coming out party, when it's about to be incorporated. and when the east coast and west coast merge together, the speaker that everyone remembers the most is a

. >>> now, we all know what he is talking about, lbj was president at the time. he cajoled some old white southern segregation ist, twisting their arms did that make lbj racist. >> no, joe biden was talking about federal versus local, but bigger picture, joe biden is leading democrat contender he botched this, he should have been prepared, to react to this. >> he was not repaired. >> but bigger theme this is a state of democrat party, a party where they rip each other apart. they learn nothing. nothing from the 2016 election, american voters, they are voting on the economy, on the results of this administration. >> jason does not want me to ask him this but i will ask you. who is the democrat that trump camp of which he is a member fears of most. >> hell, i don't know. >> john delaney. >> is it -- it -- can unite par. >> i would say -- >> gaffe prone. >> i would say kamala harris, with energy, and same possess as joe biden on busing. after all she should have walked things back and does not want federal government to dictate busing but more like donald trump he t

this is not -- lbj is who passed the civil rights act. he was a long time senator. >> sure. >> the definition of a good 'ol boy. it was lbj who appointed thurgood marshall the first african-american on the court, ronald reagan who put the first woman on the court. >> i think the question is more around the generational aspect of it, the experiences joe biden had in the senate with those good 'ol boys. it's a much different universe than where we are right now. >> you saw jim clyburn and other african-americans who are older in south carolina when you guys sent reporters down and asked do you guys feel offended by this? and many of them said no, we understood exactly what joe biden was trying to say. i think when you look at some of the struggles within the african-american community and you have single mothers who are trying to find good jobs to take care of their kids or you're looking at individuals who are saying i want to make sure that my kids have something better than what i had i'm not necessarily certain you're looking at this pa

he did tell a story about lbj. you don't want to hear this. peter: i do want to hear this. i asked. gary: he said he was driving with lbj one time and he looked over to him and said henry, what that? he pointed at a piece of machinery. henry, let's that? -- once that? -- what's that? the third time, he pointed to a cow. thought it was a trick question and said i'm not sure. he said henry, that's a cow. that passes as humor. peter: while you're an archivist, you finished your dissertation. gary: i did. peter: tell us about that process. gary: i dropped out of graduate school because i had been assigned a dissertation topic, which you well know i do not do. that's the worst thing you can do is pick topics for your students. it's hard enough to write a dissertation if you're interested in it. and they picked one for me, which was the election of 1852 and the demise of the whig party. this is when it was catching fire and using computers. that would've been disastrous for me, but i pretended to be working on it for two years and went all over the country and took lots of notes. but noth

do you remember lbj, the comment about the tent, but i realise it is a family programme. watershed. yet —— chaps being outside the tent and inside the tent. i think she is better in the inside. keep your friends close and your enemies closer is certainly the case. she has spent stand down and seems to be popular within the tory party and it would make a great deal of sense for johnson to have at least some of that remainer when within his government. carry on is offering to quit as hong kong leader but are being turned down by beijing, not so fast they are saying. stick it out. i think when the chinese government tell you to do something you don't have a lot of option. according to the story and the ft beijing has insisted carrie lunn has to say to fix the next she has created. there has been a lot of concern about the chinese blaming the west for fomenting unrest. maybe with a bit of something in the background, we probably have been trying to push for democracy because we should be. we shouldn't be will, completely. people saying the privileges and differences that hong

. >> when i was 18 years of age, i had an appointment from lbj to go.ho was really the guiding light in my life, my mother went to seminary and she graduated and taught and we were sitting at the table and she said you know, if you would become a great military leader and lead america in a great victory it would not be worth the ba value of winning a soul in christianity. one life that would be eternally changed would outweigh the value of any heroics military would ever accomplish, and that had a lasting impact on my thoughts. i went to seminary and the thought of being a pastor was not in my mind. when i finished seminary and got a bachelors degree and went to university at north texas state, i was invited by a couple. [inaudible] and i agreed to help them for a while to get a church started in 56 years later, i'm still there. >> i guess you are glad you did that. >> sim, indeed. ladies and gentlemen, don't forget virtua virtually every weeknight you can watch us on levintv. call 844 levintv. see this book, new york times best-selling. no why i put t

-- thurgood marshall under lbj. it was so interesting how many times she referred to justice o'connor today. justice o'connor, in that first term, wrote a decision in a sexual harassment case in harris versus --. justice ginsburg added a concurring statement that underscored the unequal treatment of women in the workplace at the time. she said the critical issue is whether members of one sex are advantageous forms of conditions of employment to which members of the other sex are not exposed. we talk about the early markers should put down. theren't you pick up from about what we saw in the early jurisprudence before the bgorious rpg moment -- our -- rbg moment. >> i was thinking about the many sex discrimination cases where justice o'connor wrote the opinion and justice ginsburg joined. in the jackson versus birmingham --e, it was a case that said it was a title ix retaliation case. i was intrigued by that. i also thought it was interesting when she was pressed on her favorite decision that she did not write. she sa

l - - lbj has no political skills except for politics.he understood how people thought and how he could persuade them. sometimes good or bad or ugly but he knew how to persuade people he had never ran before when he ran in texas. is that the next time you see the press corps tell them that this farmer is having relations and they said that's not true he said i know i just want to hear them deny it. so every time that farmer would meet with the press to know he would start with rex? i just want to make it clear i am not having relations with my pigs. if i tell you don't think of an elephant what do you think of? and elephant. so when we get in this position where we deny all of the allegations to say yes i am a muslim candidate. yes i will speak to all the stereotypes you have about me. and that's the only thing we talk about. so when we started we agreed it is distraction that you start to fall into the frame of the distraction itself. all you are doing is speaking to the system. so that point that you made is entirely correct. it is a be

. >> what i would say is today is the 54th anniversary of medicare and medicaid signed by lbj.agan say, he said medicare will lead to socialized medicine. med dare will lead to socialism in america. ronald reagan during that debate on medicare and medicaid. i would say to that voter study the proposals of candidates. figure out what you think is best for you, your family, community and america and don't be distrast edistracted by tef- efforts of the other side. they will try to call everything they don't like socialism. >> how much do you want to hear about donald trump and how much do you want to hear about the other issues? it's very easy to focus on donald trump. >> i think you'll see a lot of focus on the vision of the candidate. this is the opportunity for differentiation. we have a bumper crop of candidates. we have 20 people on the stage. tomorrow a few other people running. voters want to know, the issues i care about most whether it's health care, immigration. whether it's the right to form a union. i think voters ask the following questions. who has my back on the iss

leadership styles of the presidents she has studied so closely, lincoln, theodore roosevelt, fdr and lbj. although these man spann men spa century, they had qualities in common that helped them reach the highest office in the land. while there is no single path for leadership success, there may be lessons for the current occupant of the oval office. so when you think about leadership, what do you think are the core qualities? because in your book, the guy who stands out to me is franklin roosevelt, partly because he's a great favorite of mine, but this extraordinary set of skills of being able to listen to people but then hide things from them, manage them. that famous line one day he says my left hand never knows what my right hand is doing. describe roosevelt's leadership style in that way. >> i think what roosevelt's leadership style starts with is he had extraordinary empathy, which i think is a critical quality for any leader. i think it expanded because of his polio and he sort of began to identify with people to whom fate had also dealt an unkind hand, as had he. so people would c

we're 90% of the way there, thanks to barack obama and lbj and other democrats, and we had a spirited discussion about how to get to the mountaintop, that final 10%. some people believe that we should have a single payer model, medicare for all. others believe that you should be able to keep your health care if you want it. and we can build on the affordable care act. and i think voters knowing that. if you want to choose one path or another, now you know what the candidates seem. i think that's great. >> i thought the health care, the immigration debates, the civil rights debates were all substantively about people with different positions on the issues within the democratic coalition. i want you to respond to a line that has developed, and i've heard it from a lot of chin-stroking and tsk-tsking republicans who are former republicans who don't like democrat. they want the democratic party to speak to them, to fire them up, to speak to the david frums and the charlie brooks and those folks. what do you say to people that say the party is moving too far left or it's alienating moderat

archer county, that we went to, no candidate from senate from either party had shown up in 70 years when lbjsky in a the courthouse grounds and walked over to the american legion hall it had been that lhownong sip to them so that was what was so exciting and at the end of the ut i wrect had in the history of the state of texas it was really an extraordinary election [ cheers and applause >> seth: and you won a lot of -- i think -- i think it was almost about a half a million votes of people that voted for greg abbott. >> that's right. >> seth: a republican, who also voted for you. so this is, i think, one of the reasons why there was enthusiasm for the idea of you running is maybe you can connect people who don't agree usually with a democratic candidate obviously, there's a scalability question with the united states versus -- i mean, again, don't get me wrong, texas is pretty impressive but -- as far as size is that your plan here, is just to sort of get wheels down everywhere you can >> absolutely. that's the consistent theme, from being on the road with the guys in the band 25 years ago,

in one of his speeches, lbj returned to the theme of freedom from fear. with medicare, he said older citizens will no longer have to fear that illness would wipe out their savings and destroy lifelong hope of dignity and independence. medicare did take a page from truman's book because it was built on social security administrative structure, a program that was familiar unpopular. it also made it harder to attack. the ama did try once more. they hired ronald reagan and in a speech he insisted that medicare would lead to full-blown socialism and the end of freedom in america. this time around, the ama lost. but the fear of socialized medicine and power of the medical profession, hospitals, and the insurance industry shaped how the medicare program was designed. providers could charge whatever they wanted. because fear of provider backlash led to the absence of budgeting and medicare. -- in medicare. alongside growing costs, unrestrained medicare payments to doctors and hospitals drove a rise in health expenditures after 1965. medicare did succeed in at lea

the old saying that lbj said to mlk, if you want me to go your way, add to your banks, build your supportd. nancy pelosi didn't like how this debate over this emergency bill for the border worked out either. they ended up having to swallow mitch mcconnell's bill and i think there is a lot of bitterness toward the senate democrats, quite frankly, by undercutting the house democrats by going along with a bill that the republicans put forward. nancy pelosi didn't like this bill any more than aoc did. >> speaking of aoc, adrian, what do you make of donald trump's fascination with her as accounted in tim alberta's book? >> you know, ali, it seems to be the same fascination that donald trump has with other powerful women, namely nancy pelosi. hillary clinton, kamala harris, you know, women who he often times gives backhanded compliments to are the very women he's afraid of. he knows the force they have. knows aoc is here to stay. she's got this huge following of supporters. she's also in politics for a long time. she's very young and she's got a long life here in politics. and i think he knows

lbj, not lebron james, but the president in the 1960s said if you can convince the poorest white manan, you can pick his pockets. guess what? if you can convince him that he's better than all of those people, he'll pick his pockets for you. so i don't understand why working. class white people who have not been benefitted by the policies and practices of this particular president can to believe that he is their man. >> okay. here's a question. i know elijah cummings. i live in maryland. he is a grown-up. a figure of leadership and respect. he's not a community leader. he's a statewide statesman. people look up to him that way. he could have won the senate seat if he wanted it in a state that is overwhelmingly white. why does he pick a guy and treat him like he's some loud mouth, you know, ethnic advocate? >> because he's making an example. if he can pick on what he perceives to be the nicist, even in some people's viewpoint the most conciliatory figure, if he can demonize that guy, he works backwards and everybody else on a scorched earth policy is fair game for him. it's ingenuous b

these people, the ones that have benefited from government programs don't care because what lbj said many, many years ago, if you can teach the poorest white man that he is better than the best black man, you can pick his pocket. donald trump is that used car salesman going around and picking the pockets of poor working class people and he's saying you know what, i know that you're a racist deep down and i'm just as racist as you are if not more. it doesn't matter that i started a trade war and you faerp, are no longer able to toil your land. it doesn't matter if i've closed the factories. it doesn't matter that i myself benefitted from putting mai-tai and clothing lines into china as opposed to american factories. none of that matters. what matters is that your whiteness supersedes everything else and you should be celebrated for that. that is what donald trump is doing on a day in, day out basis. >> you put it that starkly. the question becomes is donald trump on to something because he would argue he made his narrow electoral path in the electoral college in 2016 on this kind of r

. >> lbj, pick your pockets.t's what we see going on in the masses of many white societies in this country. >> well, it should stop because we're better than that. patrick griffin, thank you for making the arguments. >> thank you, chris. >> i don't want to say it on this show, why, you get enough of it. we'll get into it. we'll get hot especially when i'm one-on-one with somebody. i think the testing is helpful, but you got -- we can't be. insulting each other. you got to think about your ideas, talk about where you don't agree, you have to find a way forward. >>> now, speaking of that, what a doozy of a trip this was to the far east. you talk about low expectations and yet still being disappointed. who made more headlines here at the g20, the president or his daughter? this is not about media. this is about matter of fact. ivanka crossed all kinds of lines according to the biographer who's already written a book on what she means in this current environment. she's here next with an addendum, vicky ward. the merc

we're 90% of the way there, thanks to barack obama and lbj and other democrats, and we had a spirited discussion about how to get to the mountaintop, that final 10%. some people believe that we should have a single payer model, medicare for all. others believe that you should be able to keep your health care if you want it. and we can build on the affordable care act. and i think voters knowing that. if you want to choose one path or another, now you know what the candidates seem. i think that's great. >> i thought the health care, the immigration debates, the civil rights debates were all substantively about people with different positions on the issues within the democratic coalition. i want you to respond to a line that has developed, and i've heard it from a lot of chin-stroking and tsk-tsking republicans who are former republicans who don't like democrat. they want the democratic party to speak to them, to fire them up, to speak to the david frums and the charlie brooks and those folks. what do you say to people that say the party is moving too far left or it's alienating moderat

long term this may be a realignment the likes of which we saw in '64 after lbj because all of a sudden democrats are more competitive in more places with moderate and upscale white voters than they have been in a long, long time. >> it's interesting. i want to break out by race the racist question. is the president racist. it was a majority that said he was. among african-americans, 80-11. among white voters it was 46-50. i thought the white number was higher than i expected it to be, to be totally frank. the fact that it's already at 46%. >> just in crass political terms, if the democrats only lose the white vote by four points, they will win the presidential election by a landslide. so that's interesting. i actually think on that issue if you want to put it this political way, democrats are probably testing better than some of these controversial medicare for all. a lot of middle class voters will get nervous. >> and a majority, 54% of white college voters say he's racist so that's the big divide there. >> and republicans cannot win back a majority in the house without white college

post" opinion rate writer jennifer reuben and mark, presidential horn and president and ceo of the lbj foundation. quite esteemed panel here. monica, i'll start with you. what are we seeing there on the mall today? >> so, craig, actually if i turn here you're going to see two bradley fighting vehicles. and these are just some of the military might that's going to be on display tomorrow evening. this is, of course, being transported on such a large flatbed because of how heavy they are. the abrams tanks which are other tanks parked nearby and going to be on the mall weigh as much as 60 tons. you can imagine that's something that could damage d.c. streets and some of the president's critics have expressed concern about that. but that's what the president wants on display. he wants to do the salute to america and feature all of these different military vehicles after being inspired two years ago at the bastille day celebrations in paris where he saw the parade with president emmanuel macron and said i would very much like to do this. he then thought it was going to be taking place on vete

interval part of lyndon johnson's team, the project 100,000 program was designed as an integral part of lbj's greater war on poverty. the great society programs. from the early mid 1960s, approximately 1.8 million men came of draft age every year. of that number, about 600,000 were deemed unfit for military service due to mental or physical reasons. and the split there was about 50-50. you had 300,000 mental, 300,000 physical disqualifications each year. mcnamara's thinking was that of those 300,000 disqualified for mental reasons, a good version of them were simply victims of circumstance. there were men who possessed innate intelligence. yet whose poverty prevented them from gaining the education necessary to qualify for military service. in his 1966 speech to the vfw, mcnamara decried these young men had quote not had the opportunity to earn their fair share of this nation's abundance. and through military service, these disadvantaged men could return to their communities with skills and experience. by extension, better those depressed and marginalized communities. road to is paved with go

the last one before that had been thorough good marshal under lbj. it was such a different time. in her first term justice o'connor is still on the bench and i thought it was so interesting how many times she referred to justice o'connor today. justice o'connor in the very first term happened to write a decision in the sexual harassment case harris versus forklift systems. justice ginsburg added a concurring statement that underscored the unequal treatment of women in the workplace at the time and she said the critical issue is whether members of one sex are supposed to do some pages forms or conditions of employment to which members of the other sex are not exposed. i thought maybe we would talk about those early markers that she put down. when you pick up from there about just what we saw in the early jurisprudence before we had the breakout rpg notorious rbg moments. >> if i could pick up on your justice o'connor, as you were talking i was thinking about the money many money sex discrimination cases it was actually justice o'connor who wrote the opinion and justice ginsburg jo

and when you get out there, the rules of engagement are so stringent by mcnamara and lbj you can't fire the weapons because the rules of engagement are mandated. they'll court-martial you if you break them. none of us, we were all obedient children. we just kind of went along with it, right? but god, that's why it didn't work. so, top gun -- frank, it's the start of top gun. 1967, i came back on enterprise having experienced the best years of my life with skank. and i'm teaching at 121. teaching a tactics phase to 15 guys. those are some pretty good drivers. they were really good sticks. larry: and 121, just for the audience, this is where basically you're training everyone who's about to go out. -- go out to the pacific. dan: we had over 100 airplanes, and they were going night and day. someone would get wasted in vietnam and we had a replacement airplane. , the great frank, writes a 400 page report, unsolicited. he's so fed up with it. he sends the report back to washington. we had some great people in washington during the war, but they were all under mcnamara. that's about as close

assaults on african-american, latinos and other people, working class white folk, you have to go back to lbj, not lebron james but the president in the 1960s. he said the following, he said you know what, if you can convince the poorest white person that he's better than the average black person, you can pick his pocket. he said heck, if you convince him that he's really being buffetted, then he will pick his pockets for you. the white working class is picking his pockets for a racist white president. the irony is they ain't getting no benefit from what he's doing. they have what they call the psychological wave of whiteness, but other than that, at least you're not a black person, there's no physical payoff or variable socioeconomic benefit. so the bully pit of donald trump devastated this country again. >> let's look how a series of republicans responded to these tweets. here's mick mulvaney, the president's acting chief of staff. >> you know this is a majority black district and when the president says rat-infested, he says no human being would live there. do you understand that is offens

lbj, a champion to many people in terms of civil rights and social programs actually want today get rid of all specific va welfare programs because he said, i want this for everyone. why should-- if we just focus on veterans that might take my whole program away. i think that that's not inconceivable. a president coming down the line, a congress coming down the line. the american public down the line would stop and ask itself those questions. >> as we wrap up here, you know, we've talked about what we're hoping for congress, a couple of shots over here, public here and the audience behind the camera there. what do they need to be looking at now? if i'm a citizen who is just-- who's just tuning into this. what do i need to be thinking about when i'm thinking about veterans and what i should be expecting? >> so i think-- >> very small question there. [laughter] >> well, i think it's just reiterating some of the points that we've made, is that, you know, veterans come from all walks of life. they don't fit into a one size fits all model in terms of their needs, health care, education, empl

joining me to discuss, professor at the lbj school of public affairs, and also an attorney and nbc.comibutor raul reyes. victoria, let me start with you. the president seems convinced that these raids are good idea. you're the professor here. any sort of historical precedent or anything to give credence to that? >> if we really want to do something about the undocumented population here, you go to the source of it. especially in terms of the economic migrants. so what we see is a lot of flash about i.c.e. raids, but what about the employers who are breaking the law by employing undocumented persons? if we were to go after them in the letter of the law, find them, then undocumented workers would not come over to seek that economic opportunity. so what work best, it would be that. but politically and rhetorically, that doesn't hit president trump's narrative of being tough on immigration and having that big show of the i.c.e. force hitting the streets. >> and in the meantime, raul, and i want to pop this up on the screen, there is a facebook group unearthed by propublica that shows forme

isn't the first chair that's been under pressure or criticism by president, if you look at history, lbj at history, he actually physically assaulted his fed, from that perspective trump isn't being that tough on the guy, however, it's a public display and because of that he's going to be extremely cautious, try to straddle both sides of the field as they say. maria: what's your take on the broad backdrop right here and whether or not the economy really warrants a cut in interest rates, europe is not generating much growth, we know that, asia is questionable where china is and the u.s., lindsey just said she's expecting earnings from second quarter to be down 1.8%, third quarter to be down 2 tenths of a percent but the third quarter to show a gain, what's your take. >> i don't think earnings will be that tough, that might be the average earnings growth or decrease, when you look at individual stocks, for instance, i own 18 stocks, i'm hoping that all 18 stocks will show better earnings performance and down 2%, that's one point, the other point is i think the u.s. do not need interest rat

even the one lbj was a part of the, senate democrats didn't want to support it and it was the republicans in the senate that made it happen. so, yeah i was misinformed coming up in a community in which so many other individuals are misinformed in a row to this book to check those false narratives. brian: it comes out in november and i had a chance to read it and it's excellent. thank you. >> thank you. brian: coming up straight ahead, democrats say border detention centers are cruel. we are getting an inside look at one of the largest i.c.e. facilities in the nation. we are alive with a fox news exclusive. reporter: brian, those that have protested i.c.e. facilities went to abolish i.c.e. claiming detainees are mistreated in the facilities lack resources, well, we will take you inside for a rare look and let you decide for yourself when we come back ying y squeezed orange juice. now no fruit is forbidden. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? for great deals during our archery gear up sale. all the latest gea

lbj signs medicare and they phase it in overt course of about three years.hat was an enormous undertaking. it was a truly enormous undertaking and if you go back and go through the historical record of what had to be put in place, how cms had to get stood up, that was i hard thing to do. so there's a question about the trust, we don't trust the government can do it, but there's also the fact there's a certain degree that if democrats want to do big things, and i think a lot of them want, to particularly as the climate crisis bears down on us, you have to find some way to engineer not only the trust but the capacity to do things and the only proof of the pudding is in the eating. >> so we're back to my question for senator mccaskill, and that is how are you going to go to youngstown and say your union plan, i know you're happy with it but i'm going to replace it. >> i think you're going to -- >> how do you make that? >> you convince people there will be something better at the end of the day. >> the reason -- people like medicare. the republicans have tried t

. >> we didn't have the civil rights act until lbj was president. maybe we need to rename j.f.k.er the cross because after all the kkk burns crosses. maybe we should take them off the tops of churches and not let people wear them around their necks. >> great point. wouldn't the more constructive point would be to say we're going to take that symbol back for what it really means? >> if you have a dozen white supremacists somewhere decide to grab the betsy ross flag, the other 328 million of us would say okay it is here, you can have it. i guess we're not going to use the liberty bell anymore, absolutely not. you grab it back from the evil people. >> thank you very much. great stuff. >>> up next, we have the tips to up your game on your patio. whoa. travis in it made it. it's amazing. oh is that travis's app? it's pretty cool, isn't it? there's two of them. they're multiplying. no, guys, its me. see, i'm real. i'm real! he thinks he's real. geico. over 75 years of savings and service. >>> are you green with envy of your neighbor's lawn? we have got the tips and trends to help you g
