he is saying robert johnson what my grandmother said, my irish grandmother.he devil you know, right? >> i do like that phrase. especially when it comes to politicians, god bless them. he also did criticize joe biden after biden came out and said if you are not voting for me and you are african-american you're not black. and i think he does represent a certain portion of moderate voters. he identifies as a democrat but a centrist and concerned how far left the country could go with biden at the helm. biden said he is the democratic party and a moderate. who helped him write his platform? that would be bernie sanders. who helped him write climate change policies? ocasio-cortez. it is bernie sanders light which is a bridge too far for true moderate voters. >> trace: interesting that robert johnson will vote for president trump but won't go as far as to endorse him. >> i do feel like that's how a lot of especially business leaders feel who may not like the president's rhetoric but do support his economic policies, trace. >> trace: carley shimkus, always good to s

robert johnson heard enough.ionaires in this country and he said, listen, i'm not going to endorse the president but i've heard enough to know i will go with him. >> where i come out as a businessman, i will take the devil i know over the devil i don't know any time of the week. and that seems to be what business people are confronting today. the more you know about who will be pulling the levers of economic growth, economic development, taxes, stimulus, regulation. in my opinion you're better dealing with somebody that you know where they're going to be than somebody you really have no idea what decisions they will make at such a critical time. i absolutely do not know what vice president biden will do. i haven't heard anything coherent out of what he said he will do. brian: and that is true. i tell you one thing, if he wants to finance his programs he will have to go to defense department to get the money. i don't know how the military men and women are saying to themselves joe biden has got the plan i like if

stuart: robert johnson is america's first african-american billionaire.founder of b.e.t. that is black entertainment television which he sold to viacom almost 20 years ago. born in mississippi, he is the ninth of 10 children. he is a self-made man. he is no fan of joe biden. anything but. when asked about trump and biden he said, better the devil i know over the devil i don't know. the devil he knows is trump. the devil he doesn't know is biden. this black billionaire prefers trump. then he really slammed biden. as a businessman he says i haven't heard anything cohern from him. you don't hear something like that often from celebrities in business. he is not endorsing trump. he didn't say he would vote for trump either. it is very clear trump has little appeal to self-made business people. when is attraction of a huge tax increase on business? that is biden's action plan is. what is the advantage of massive tax increases like wealthy job creators robert johnson. that is vice president biden plan. and we haven't seen started with the deadening effects of bi

the good doctor, former acting director of the cdc, robert wood johnson foundation president and ceo.o have you back with us. what do you think? how would you advise the president what he should do, how he should handle this quarantine period? what do you say? >> well, i would give him and the first lady the advice i would give my own patients. it's the advice of cdc. that's if you are infected, you need to be isolated from other people so that you are not spreading this. i send my wishes and hope the president and first lady recover quickly but early on, it can be very difficult to know which direction this is going to go. early on, there can be just some symptoms of a headache or some body aches and then it can progress. so you want to be alert for that in someone especially of his age who is at a higher risk of having more severe disease. the good news is that the vast majority of people at every age who get a covid infection will recover fully. neil: now, how would those odds improve for older folks, the president is 74, pretty good health otherwise. it used to be very worrisome w

richard besser, former acting director of the cdc, president and ceo of the robert road johnson foundationch, thanks so much for being with us this morning. the president says that he's going back to the campaign trail tomorrow night and his doctor says it's okay for him to do it. yet, he doesn't have a negative test yet and they won't tell us whether or not wor how he's beig tested, so how can they know if it's safe for him to be back on the campaign trail in 24 hours? >> john, when rick bright was talking before, one of the things he talked about was transparency. and the critical role of transparency and trust. if you look at the cdc guidelines in terms of when someone can leave isolation, ten days after first symptoms, no fever, but off all medications that could reduce fever. so that includes things like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, and symptoms improving. so day don't need to have gone away, but improving. and in some circumstances, your doctor will request that you have a test. but not all people need a test before they leave isolation. >> so what would you say, dr. besser? should th

the president and ceo of the robert wood johnson foundation. your reaction to what the president did last night and said when he got back to the white house. >> stephanie, in public health, we talk about teachable moments. these times when everyone's attention is focused on a critical issue, and you have the opportunity to reframe things in important ways. this was an opportunity to call out the critical importance of everyone in the nation coming together and wearing masks and social distancing. it was a time to call out the importance of contact tracing. something that has been very challenging around the country for health departments to do. it was a time to call out the severity of this pandemic. the fact that 200,000 people, more than 200,000 people have lost their lives. disproportionately, people of color, lower income people in america. it was a time for pulling us together as a nation, not to talk about this as something that, you don't need to i am extremely worried about this pandemic as are most public health leaders because of the

richard buser says, the ceo of the robert wood johnson foundation and director of the sea to sea.or being here tonig tonight. what was your reaction when you heard the president talked about being immune? he said he wanted to go out and because the audience. he did not do that, i should point it out. >> i'm glad he didn't do that. one of the things that's clear is that there is still a lot we don't know about this virus. and infections with this virus. it appears that once you've had this infection, there is some degree of protection. but it's not clear how long that lasts until complete. you know, there've been few documented cases who have had covid wants and got it in again with a slightly different variety of the virus. so that's clear. that if there was no immunity, we would've expected that would be a much more common occurrence. you know, one of the things that's really important is if you don't get to some degree of immunity from the natural infection, it's highly unlikely that a vaccine which tries to mimic and a sense would work. there is some degree of protection. >> ma

richard besser, currently the president and ceo of the robert wood johnson foundation. doctor, thanks for being here with us. i want to underscore what i said a moment ago and have you elaborate on it. just because you have a negative test now doesn't mean you're going to have a negative test tonight or a negative test tomorrow or i guess any time in the incubation period. >> that's right. first thing i want to say is, my thoughts are with the president, first lady, everyone who has been impacted by this. and my hope is that this is a wake-up call for what we need to do to really nip this pandemic and slow it down so transmission is reduced and lives are saved. your question is a good one. so with every infection, there's a time between when you're exposed and when you develop symptoms. for this on average, it's four to six days but it can be as long as up to two weeks. that's why it's so important to have that period of quarantine if you have been exposed, to be 14 days. and once you get infected and start to develop symptoms, then there's a time course between develop

johnson. about roberts new book

johnson excepts it. -- accepts it. and everybody is shocked and everybody is upset on all sides of the democratic spectrum. robert kennedy, who has always hated lyndon johnson and vice versa, is outraged. kenny o'donnell, one of jack kennedy's closest advisers says, you betrayed every single person that has supported you in your first move of the nominee. and the labor unions are all outraged. the americans for democratic action, the liberal group was outraged. on lyndon johnson's side, his southern senators, his allies are just flabbergasted. they don't want to lose their ally. their man in leadership in the senate. and particularly upset are fellow texans, lyndon johnson's fellow texans. so everybody is mad. but, politics is politics. and jack kennedy tells kenny o'donnell, kenny, i'm 43 years old and i'm not going to die in office, don't worry. everybody kisses and makes up, lyndon johnson is used to a great effect in the south. they really don't know what to do with him in the rest of the country and he doesn't want to campaign in the rest of the country. but he goes out and is an asset to the democratic tick

johnson's speeches. imagine in the current environment of john roberts regularly consulted on trump's speeches. it would cause problems for johnson down the road. then second, in 1967, thurgood marshall who we have seen previously as the naacp chief counsel. who johnson appointed to the circuit court in new york, johnson sees an opportunity to name the first african-american to the court. but there is no vacancy. there is however a vacancy to the position of attorney general. johnson looks far and wide in the country and decides that ramsey clark would make the world's top attorney general. there is one small problem, his father is on the supreme court. johnson goes to ramsey clark and says i would love to appoint you as attorney general but i cannot do it with your father on the supreme court. if your father is willing to resign as a supreme court justice, i could appoint you as attorney general. the father resigns and johnson gets another vacancy. and marshall moves on to the court. johnson assumes he will run for reelection in 1968, he will be reelected in 1968, there are three very elderly m

lyndon johnson, robert mcin a mara, his -- he had anti-war protesters stay at his house. families were broken over it, much like the civil war, i guess. >> the other thing that people should understand that made this real in a way that hadn't in wars fought earlier was television, television was bringing it into people's living rooms every night. will you talk about the effect of that? >> well, it was wide open because nobody had really done any kind of television wasn't restricted. it was all brand new. and so, you know, nobody in the administration or anyone else had any control over it. so, you know, the journalists were just going out there to get whatever they found. we don't have that now. it's much more controlled in the battlefield. we were seeing things in the living room you wouldn't see now, i mean actual battle scenes and people being wounded and that kind of thing and it had a profound effect on the country. and it was another reason why people came out against the war was they started seeing it all the time on tv and 300 body bags were coming back every week

and with the assassinations of martin luther king and robert kennedy in 1000 $68.00 president johnson began to push for more restrictions on guns and many americans even democrats who had supported johnson became very worried because they were afraid that if they have their guns they would be unprotected when they saw him putting. they were afraid of no black power and what happened. was that. effective crime control. remains and my judgment effective gun control. a warning shot to the country's traditionalists. there was a small group of members of the n.r.a. that believed that gun rights were about to be curtailed dramatically and there were these conversations about gun rights and they decided to rise up within the n.r.a. and they effectively took over the entire organization and it went from a moderate. less powerful group of sportsmen to a very staunch conservative organization 100 percent focused on the idea of ensuring that the right of an individual to own a gun would not be curtailed at all. looking for new ammunition to further his campaign the n.r.a. founded argument rooted

joining us is the president and ceo of the robert wood johnson foundation, dr. richard besser.picture first. i went unnoticed yesterday, but the cdc had a news briefing where they said there's a distressing trend in the country to use their term that case counts were up in 75% of the states in this country. so from where you're sitting, where are we now in this public health crisis as we roll into the fall and the winter as you and others have warned us? >> i think we're in a very dangerous period in this pandemic for many reasons. one is that as we have talked about, the fall and winter as it gets colder, viruses do better. they hang in the air longer when it's cold and when humidity's down and we're in closer contact with each other. so viruses can spread. so that's a real challenge no matter what. but we're facing a across the country incredible fatigue with the whole restrictions put on people's lives. at a time you need people to step it up more, be more conscientious in terms of hand washing and social distancing, you're seeing more unwilling to do it. you heard from chri

been movies and books and you mentioned your book the great books by robert caro to talk about the juxtaposition between lyndon johnson would then end up out segregationists and racist and he uses those legislative powers to try to get the civil rights laws passed. can people change in office and do you give him at least credit for the fact that he did use his powers to get the law passed? >> guest: as i said lyndon b. johnson -- it'd gone to his head. he didn't pass it. republicans passed and he had to sign it. he could have vetoed it and said i really am just a racist but as i said because of always going on in the country he did eventually and get but the truth is he hated black americans the that up to the great society act and that's why it's so important for black americans to look at lyndon haynes johnson's quotes. he said these n words are getting uppity. you have to give them a little bit of something to keep them distracted so we can assure they have their vote for the next hundred years and what he wanted was power. he was willing to give an inch so the democratic party could take a mile. i think is one of

sunday mirror, in case anybody didn't recognise them is boris johnson, so and we have got the chance like marie she soon, we have got robertnerally can and we have got the education secretary, who possibly, unfortunately for him, has got a laughing picture. this is certainly no laughing matter, and certainly no laughing matter, and certainly the salaries that are all close to 100 k on the front page of the sunday mirror are reflecting some of the concern that they haven't got — they've avoided, the sunday mirror, locking down their areas, but, of course, with the mayor particularly in the north is wearing about today is notjust people who are going to only get two thirds of minimum wage, all the people on track, those who will lose their jobs, people on track, those who will lose theirjobs, and people on track, those who will lose their jobs, and what people on track, those who will lose theirjobs, and what we didn't mention in the first paper review, but let's mention in the second one, because many people are in that case, the self—employed. you know, what a 66% of zero? indeed. it's a lot more pressure going to be piled

hour on the program but we begin with our top political experts, professor jason johnson, washington post libby casey and robert gibbs who helped lead media strategy for barack obama's first campaign, welcome all. jason, going right to you, the candidate who is behind tends to have more to prove in a debate. is that pressure on donald trump tonigh tonight? >> yeah, ari, it is. donald trump has to try to do something tonight that he's never been able to do, appeal to his base and expand the base. that will be challenging because tonight he's going to be muted. the crazy outlandish things he says that tend to be beneficial and excite his base, he's not going to be able to do it. he's going to be the clean version of a donald trump album. every time he tries to interrupt and say a lie, somebody will block him. this will be a very challenging night for him. i don't know if he has the skill set to do it but if he can't at least change the media narrative of tonight's debate performance, this is going to be a ground game and right now he's behind in cash and feet on the ground. >> robert, you've prepped these and you

but you have melania trump, jim jordan, alice johnson, robert o'brien, rudy giuliani, mark meadows, eiffivanka trump, dona trump jr., eric, laura, tiffany trump, derek lyons, bill stepien, jason miller, kayleigh mcenany, we can look at mark meadows and the amount of time he's spent around supreme court nominee, amy coney barrett. and as you said, as others said, mitch mcconnell, the other senators. this actually is a threat, not just to this president, not just to this white house, but actually, to the united states government right now. we don't know how widespread this is and that is, of course, one of the problems. and, of course, if these meetings were held outside, that would be one thing. but most of these meetings were held in close quarters, inside of offices -- >> it's the traveling too. >> yes, it's also the traveling. but you look at mark meadows and his connection with the supreme court nominee and those connections that he had on the hill with mitch mcconnell, other senators, obviously this is concerning on so many different levels. >> joe, the number of people that hope hicks has

the life photographers made this iconic image of robert and jfk in a hotel room, kind of deciding who they would offer the vice presidency to. lyndon johnson eventually becomes the running mate to jfk. a surprise to a lot of people. i have seen this picture published in parts of the world where they are discussing the cuban missile crisis. or they are discussing armament. this is a hotel where they are meeting with khrushchev. but it was 1950 the democratic national convention. it wasn't long before he secured that nomination and really had to go out on the road to prove himself. in california he is up there with governor pat brown. here he is preparing some notes for a democratic rally. of course, the wonderful thing about the kennedys as they never pushed photographers or writers away. they knew that if they made themselves accessible to the media they would be published and it was a groundswell. there is no question about it that the media coverage of jfk was the first time we had ever seen anything like it. campaigning in amarillo, texas. jfk gets upset that lyndon johnson is hollering, turn the engine off, he carried around a lot of t

so johnson decided to withdraw from the race. in the meantime, senator robert kennedy, president kennedy's brother, had also entered the presidential contest and they were both going after him. of course, vice president hubert humphrey decided to enter to carry the standard for the johnson administration. at that point, the vice president humphrey still supported the war policies of president johnson. senator kennedy of course was assassinated in june and so that really left only senator mccarthy to sort of be the insurgent candidate. senator kennedy's followers and senator mccarthy entered a token candidacy. there's a lot of bad blood between democrats and kennedy forces. but ultimately, the nomination went to cuba humphrey, which infuriated the reformers and the anti war movement because, not only had senator from free not won a single primary, he had not even entered a single primary. so it was evidence to the reformers and the anti war insurgence that the democratic party was still being run by the big city political bosses, by the political machines, and t

senator ron johnson joins me now, than thank you so much forg here tonight. are you aware of those reports, that robertad information from our intelligence services that rudy giuliani was possibly the target of being fed some of this russian information? are you aware of those? >> i'm aware that russia continues to try to influence and interfere in our election, i'm also aware that democrats created a false intelligence product falsely accusing chuck grassley and eye of accepting russian disinformation which we did not do from that same individual. the we didn't know who the guy was -- i also know there's a fair amount of false allegations being thrown around as well. >> martha: we didn't even get into this part of it with rudy giuliani but this guy who owns a computer store who claims that hunter biden dropped off his laptop there and he was concerned about it, it was left there indefinitely so he owns the laptop under an agreement -- that laptop information was also sent to your office, why didn't you bring this story out? that you have concerns about the nature of this information? >> we were contac
