we will hear today from our panelists about the key role president nixon and members of his administration, contemporary -- contemporaneous leaders and others played in implementing this historic move to what president nixon called a new and balanced relationship between the united states government and the first americans. it is the individuals involved, their motivations, and their points of view that make this material particularly rich and absorbing. for history is not just about ideas, but about particular people and perspectives. our speakers, especially those who helped formulate and implement this transformation of the federal government's relationship with tribal governments, are uniquely situated to explore this fascinating and important story and bring it vividly to life for us this morning. now it is my privilege to introduce the moderator of this morning's forum. wallace johnson served as assistant attorney general for land and natural resources in the nixon administration. during his tenure there, he created the indian rights litigation section. previously, he served as speci

during the detroit riots in 1967 and when he was secretary of hud during the nixon administration.lican and a man with a high ethics and when his son came on the scene i kept hoping he was getting beat like his father. maybe as time goes on he is becoming more like him. if so that's great. let me get to donald trump. you've referred to him already. and we all know it now, over the last couple of weeks has been tweeting like crazy. some of those tweets have stuck in peoples minds. the one i'm looking at right now is, any difficulty, he's talking about what happens in the street and we will assume control when the looting starts the shooting starts. he talked repeatedly about dominating the streets. he told governors if you don't dominate you are wasting your time. they are going to run over you. you are going to look likejerks. going to run over you. you are going to look like jerks. these the united states. do you believe that donald trump and his approach to this has been fundamentally different from every other president of your lifetime? no, he hasn't been fundamentally differen

ever sincejohnson and the nixon administrations when they were given all sorts of military equipmentan occupying force, rather than officer friendly. who was there to help you, and that is u nfortu nate was there to help you, and that is unfortunate and more and more resources have gone that way.... they do not understand the underlying causes of crime. sorry to interrupt you but... . i am committed to community programmes and that way help us in maintaining lord and order and roof form the police. forgive my very rude interruption but i'm speaking to you asa interruption but i'm speaking to you as a renowned civil rights campania, historian and academic, how do you think these words will go down, you know we talked about this before, in white suburban communities across america where they were either someone america where they were either someone like you calling for the dismantling of police forces stop in the first place, i did not call for the first place, i did not call for the dismantling of police forces. it's unfortunate that the label they have used is misinterpreted and har

you have to go that far back to the nixon administration to see a u.s.ttorney refusing the order of an attorney general and a president to resign. >> so we take a look back at precedent here, let's take a look ahead now. the significance of jay clayton, someone who i learned this morning does not have prosecutorial experience now potentially leading up sdny. >> yeah. very unusual. he's a corporate lawyer, comes from a big wall street law firm, sullivan and cromwell. he's the guy in charge of the s.e.c. he has no criminal prosecutorial experience. especially for this u.s. attorney position in the southern district which prosecutes organized crime, terrorists, white collar criminals, sophisticated white collar schemes because it's in charge of wall street. so, normally you want to see an experienced criminal prosecutor in that job. clayton has no criminal prosecutorial experience. and that could be a problem at his confirmation hearings which we'll see. >> how is berman regarded, paul? >> well, you know, berman was a guy who came in with a lot of skepticis

then sometimes you can have a relationship that works better so in the nixon administration, i talk about how -- he wouldn't putin up with king -- kiss kissinger and shenanigans and he was kind of scared you've kissinger. king kings was a bureaucratic bully and couldn't bully schlesinger. people were pushing to see the hims of what they can accomplish and you can stand your ground and not be a jerk but you show you bring value to process and won't be cowed by someone, you could perform the process. that would be my advice. >> i think we want to go to the questions -- in case some more come in you can mitt them on the comment section of facebook, you can use the youtube chat function or at twitter with #bpc live. we have a number of questions and i'll start with from grandmother ej. that question is, what role do vice presidents play in creating or disarming conflict? has that role changed since the vice-presidenty has taken on more of an active roll, beginning with al gore. >> thank you for the question and for you excellent baseball podcast. the vice-president plays an important role but
