so we know that lbj of it then we don't know what lbj thinks of it over the course of the next months perhaps. lbj's vice presidential which do exist out in which the johnson library is in the process of of of processing. perhaps those will help us understand and we are salivating at the prospect of getting getting a hold of those. there is an indication that lbj a the first of those two meetings on october second 1963 before leaving after 25 minutes for a lunchtime engagement, he did not speak and his name is not listed on. the mencken on that record. johnson's own daily diary says that he was there, which is intriguing. do i remember that? did he make a trip at he was vice president. he sure he made a really important trip may of 1961 after the first set of really consequential decisions, the kennedy administration took to up its program, vietnam. and it was part of the process of trying to convince the south vietnamese that we are with you. and that was really the first goal of the presidential program, as it was described, to let the south vietnamese. know that that we will remain

i think lbj is both a friend and a foe. he's a friend and that he helps pass of the most important well bills in american history and and he can't do that without king but one of the really interesting things is that when you listen to the phone calls and lbj taped all of his phone calls and the tapes are anyone can listen to them on the internet now at the lbj library. and in the beginning when king first when lbj takes he calls king immediately reaches out to him and says we're going to need to work together. and he's calling him. martin there's a very warm, friendly conversation and over the next couple of years, hear that going cold. you hear him starting to call him dr. king, reverend king and the friendliness is gone. and that's because the while lbj is getting a steady stream. sometimes one or two memos a week from directly from hoover to the president with the just tawdry gossip. like there's no reason the president to know this stuff, except that clearly both men are enjoying keeping tabs on this man and mocking hi

that lbj thought it's time we have you know. a an amendment about disability and now when the president if the president goes to the hospital for the day for medical tests, the vice president is the president. well, i didn't do it all by myself. a lot of people had come down this path before me the woodrow wilson papers are like 69 published volumes, and there's one that's devoted entirely to wilson's health and then there's a wonderful book by a woman who became a friend of mine phyllis lee levin called edith and woodrow and it's really it's about their relationship, but it's really about this time and she did a beautiful job of going back into all the documents and looking what everyone in wilson's cabinet was saying asking about this and and wilson. he did allow people to come and see him he allowed. two republican senators to come and see in one afternoon and he could carry on a perfectly intelligent conversation but sustaining his concentration was absolutely impossible. these senators went away thinking yeah, he's in good

caller: one of my favorite presidents was lbj because lbj and his great society program.hool libraries and medicare for the seniors. he added anti-property program. he was involved in civil rights and voting bills for the american people. he created two cabinet departments, housing and urban development, 1966 and transportation in 1967. one thing about lbj was on march 31, 1960, he announced [indiscernible] it would've been 100 -- it would have been his 115 birthday on august 29. that is all i have today. host: before you go, if you saw sunday, you know about the the span historians survey after a president leaves office, we serve a presidential historians about their rankings of presidents, having them rank residence on 10 characters of leadership. we at up those scores and put out this new survey. the latest one came out in 2021. lbj is on that survey, ranked 11th. above him in descending order, barack obama, ronald reagan, donald -- harry truman, dwight eisenhower, theodore roosevelt and the top 3 -- franklin roosevelt, george washington and abraham lincoln, ranked fir

his original lbj original office there we went down on the house floor. and it's funny because the person that took us around, he's since left, told us this story about how they used to vote. you. and now there's little buttons. you guys have probably been there, but you used to walked down and they would tap and then put up and you would vote and drop it in. and, you know, there's nothing. you just had gloria's point it the more real it is, the more success it's got to be true. that's how life is. that's how it is in film. and the time that these film directors and producers and stars looking into and really taking the time to catch, the feeling of it. and even in, you know, being in the can and building and i then i brought them over to the white house, to the vice president's office. and again, you guys probably know this. the vice president's office, the old executive office building, you know, you open door and all the vice presidents have signed it. so we did that. and you can see, you know, how moved. they were and then we went to the vice presiden

i'm sure it has to be lbj we have free bathrooms like that. [laughter] >> what propels you to join the park service years ago? and outside of him to the national park service for 20 months. but how my foundation began over 30 years ago as a young sailor while attending intelligent school in virginia. the young cilia don't get much money. we would make a trip for as many memorials in mainz or maine to florida it we did it's the greatest foundation a young american can have. by walking in the footsteps of your fellow americans. whether that was travel people in maine and massachusetts and connecticut whether it is walking into the immigrants that came in the start of the colonies. all the way is truly a fascinating to spend with four friends. >> to oversee nonpresidential things. presidents were responsible for getting them started. you oversee and yellowstone? >> yes. >> is it safe to go up to buffalo and bison and touch it? >> please don't do that. do not touch the fluffy cow. you put your thumb up you can still see the animal you are too clos

and hen -- then after lbj's expansion of welfare, the steady decline of particularly the family which lives of african-americans and everybody. and that decline was with specifically linked to lbj's so-called great society. >> a lot of these programs, unfortunately, lead to fatherlessness, and i'm fortunate enough to have a mother and a father. not every black kid's got that. 70% of black kids are born into single family homes, and it's no fault of the single moms or dads trying to raise the kids without the opposite parent there, but it makes the incline that much steeper. you look at under president trump, we had the lowest black unemployment ever, the lowest black poverty ever, and that's what happens when you cut taxes, deregulate and let the market expand. it lifts all boats as opposed to the other model which is basically pell wear -- welfare handouts and expansion of government which which leads to high prices and all sorts of difficulties. tim scott's right about -- david: by the way -- >> -- relying on markets and limited government as the way up rather than the opposite. dav

lbj was president of the united states from 1963 until 1969. during those turbulent years he often invoked angels in speeches andspeeches and also talked abot his vision of a great society. he went to the statue of liberty to sign an immigration bill. after those will hear from richard nixon , 69 richard nixon talked about the great silent majority and97 in 1974 he resigd from office. beginning now, here is lyndon johnson. [applause] governor romney, senators mcnamara and hart, congressman and stabler and other members of the fine michigan delegation members of the graduating class, my fellow americans, it is a great pleasure to be here today. this university is coeducational since 1870. but i do not believe is on the basis of your accomplishments. food at a detroit high school girlaid, and i quote, and choosing a college you first have to decide whether you want to coeducational school or in educational school. [laughter] we can find both here at michigan. although perhaps at different hours. [laughter] i came out here today very anxious to me

if you look at the history, lbj was supposed to be able to run again.e situated like you and i making the call. it was the young people going for mcgovern and then rfk and anti-war candidates and suddenly it changed everything. >> humphrey and then rfk. >> so, what does that have to do, chai -- i let you take the hard part. what does that have to do with taylor swift and joe biden? >> it was eugene mccarthy who had a good show in new hampshire, forcing lbj out of the race because rfk entered. want to correct that history real quick. but great artists and great politicians do the same thing. they engage with the culture. that is something that barack obama did, that is something that bill clinton did, that is something that kennedy did. that is something that franklin dellano roosevelt did. ronald reagan did. you first and foremost engage with the culture. that is because politicians like artists are story tellers. this is something you can really learn from taylor swift. taylor swift's success comes from the fact that she is viewed by her fans and -- in

lbj was president of the united states from 1963 to 1969, and during those turbulent years, he often invoked america's better angels in speeches. and he also talked about his vision of a great society. and he went to the statue of liberty to sign an immigration bill. after those, we'll hear from richard nixon, 1969. richard nixon talked about the great sint majority. and in 1974, he resigned from office beginning now. here's lyndon johnson. president hatcher. governor romney. senators mcnamara and hart. congressman meader and stabler. and other members of the pine michigan delegation. members of the graduating class. my fellow americans, it is a great pleasure to be here today. this universe today has been coeducational. since 1870, but i do not believe it was on the basis of your accomplishments that a detroit high school girl said, and i quote, in choosing a college, you first have to decide whether you want a coeducational school or an educational school. well, we can find both here at michigan, although perhaps a different ours. i came out here today very anxious to meet the mich

backers from congress, the supreme court, and the labor department, bessie's name was considered by lbj himself. it's not clear what, if any, role in the decision was played by her affair, the one you will have to read about in the book, but she's also faced other hurdles. one male white house staffer criticized bessie's fashion forward appearance as quote flamboyant and another opined quote her age, 58 would tend to preclude her from consideration, end quote. by 1968, bessie had been passed over for seven federal judicial vacancies on those two courts alone, all filled by men, five older than she was. the silver lining from bessie not getting a judgeship is that she stayed at the labor department where she developed the national strategy and personally argued the first appeal under the equal pay act and somewhat ironically the age discrimination and employment act. by the time she retired in 1972, she had overseen the filing of 300 equal pay lawsuits in 40 states, ultimately recovering millions of dollars for thousands of employees and earning the title of the nation's number one fight

it was vietnam, a crushed lbj. he was walking away.t -- i am not sure we are going to see a bombshell like the lbj bombshell. it is an interesting comparison, lbj now only lost be support of the american people over the war but critically, he lost the support of the party leadership inside the democratic party. i think right now, what you see in joe biden's case, support is down in the polls among democrats and republicans. i don't see movement among be, credit leadership and that is what we have to see first, we have to see some cracking in that support. he has always -- he always has a way out. he can always say he saw himself as a steward. the concern is who is his replacement and there is concern inside the party that it will be kamala harris. tom: i got this all wrong, i looked up winston churchill's age in -- he was a fossil. how did the u.s. get to the fossil and administration and branch we have? peter: we have two -- too many parents is -- too many presidents who were not curating the next generation. it was true of barack oba

surprisingly well creates a lot of problems for biden pushes him out same way gene mccarthy got rid of lbj in 1968. cheryl: interesting we will keep talking about all issues, more americans are not plying what president biden is selling when it comes to "bidenomics", congressman roger with williams here to react into misappropriated covid funds you are watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. ♪ ♪ . you like what you hear ♪ ♪ wake up, achievers. you're making the most of every hour of your life. except the hours that you're sleeping. so why do we leave so much untapped potential on the table? this is a next level bed, for a next level you. my circadian rhythm is kicking your circadian rhythms butt! it's not a competition. i know, but i'm still winning! so, it is a competition. save 50% on the sleep number limited edition smart bed. plus, free home delivery when you add an adjustable base. shop now only at sleep number. ♪ that first time you take a step back and see everything you've accomplished. i made that. with your very own online store. i sold that. and you can manage it al

other people indoors to writing about lbj or john beauchamp writing about george w. bush. i described my predicament. and david said, write what you know. because that was a license for me to spend the next 10 years discovering all the things i didn't know about or. in any event, it is obviously up to the reader to decide how objective i am. susan: first of all, mentioning david mccullough, his book was probably responsible for a revisiting of harry truman. there is lots of harry truman connections that people made to the ford presidency. do you anticipate or probably hope that this will do the same? richard: i am not supposed to answer that question. [laughter] have you written a definitive biography? that is what i aspire to. you are supposed to leave that with other people. there are parallels. presidents defined themselves and lots of ways. one way they defined themselves is which presidents they choose to honor by hanging there were trips in the cabinet room. in the first hour of his presidency, ford goes into the cabinet room and dwight eisenhower is in the place. ri

tim scott said that slavery was bad but lbj was worse. you know his girlfriend go to another school, here's my pick for who won the week. [laughter] >> we are here because of matt. that's what this is about. if they can't save donald trump. >> honestly, no one has testified of -- what crime they believe the president is committed. >> no evidence of presidential wrongdoing. no rock smoking gun. no gun, no smoke. >> this is an embarrassment. an embarrassment to the time and people of this country. >> house democrats won the week. thank you friendni

kind of sure that they sold the black father during slavery, but they were really served poorly under lbji think the ancestors were cringing. and then there is this moment, two people talking about weird like older people sex, i think. here, they are. do we have it? maybe it's a weird, we can't play. it's not here. >> donald, i know you are watching. you can't help yourself. i know you're watching, okay? you're not here tonight, not because of polls and not because of your investments. you're not here tonight because you're afraid of being on the stage and defending your record. you are ducking these things. let me tell you what will happen, you keep doing that, we won't call you donald trump anymore, we'll call you donald duck. >> by the way, marco rubio called his lack of dignity back, because he literally did what he accused -- that was not a toe. here is the soundbite, the other country moment. >> when you have the president of the united states sleeping with a member of the teachers union, there is no chance that you can take the stranglehold away from the teachers union every day. >

that he's not going to run and open it up with enough time for democrats other than kamala harris, lbjdidn't get out after the new hampshire primary. everything is accelerated on the calendar. when do you have to get out if you are president biden? >> the sooner the better. it would be best to happen before the iowa caucuses. there is some discussion among some democrats principally in newsom world in california. he's got until the convention and what can happen, he pulls out in the spring and delegates selected through various primaries show up at the convention and make a decision like we used to have in the old days were delegates themselves show up at the convention without being committed to a candidate and if there's nobody in the field and chose from the available pool of people. i find that far-fetched but it is being discussed. paul: every journalist's dream is an open convention again. i keep waiting but it is not happening in my lifetime. it would be wonderful if it did. what's the standing of kamala harris? for polls in the survey. one of the fears you hear from democrats i

pull back and do an lbj with. great things, then they put in somebody like gavin newsom. the problem with that scenario is i don't think joe biden can get through the next 12 months. i think you're going to get a crisis before the the end of 2024. stuart: not a medical crisis -- >> could be a medical crisis, could be the alleged crimes of the family and the pact that the economy is not quite as a good as biden says it is. stuart: if you do that, you've got president harris. for whatever reason, it becomes president harris. >> but their hand may be forced this which case what they're going to haved to do is say we're going to open it up, open primary, she can run, anyone can run x they hope that she'll lose in the primary process. stuart: does anyone, brian, think that a this president can still be president six years from now i. >> i've said to you every time you ask, it's going to be biden. they like biden. he's an empty vessel. you can get cone whatever. and, by the way, they want to put harris out there? if i m

african americans somehow surviving through slavery and then went onto say that the great society of lbj and all the democratic presidents since then have made the black situation worse, not better. breaking up the black family. damaging families. sean: he faced discrimination and america is not a racist country. larra rhode islander i have to give him credit whether he wins loses or draws. the data, the evidence shows that senator tim scott is absolutely right. the worst thing to happen to minority groups and african americans in particular in this country in the last 100 years was the great society. kellyanne: and they're leaving the democratic party, hispanics particularly. sean: larry, it's on the show. joining us with more. i see ron desantis is pulling uphill and the host of the hit show. "the ingraham angle" and the one and only laura ingraham and using the sing the most question i'm asked is how come we don't have the handoffs anymore. how come laura doesn't poke at you every night? >> i know, my football. i left it in the other room. darn it. i was going to throw it at the scree

now, you could argue that he waited for somebody else that proved lbj was vulnerable.bate the particulars of when. if you're going to go bold, sometimes you go when everybody tells you not to go. >> yeah, i haven't plotted this out. i'm not this machiavellian, and i've proven -- increasingly in public i want to continue to make that case and i don't want to go through talking points, but i'm serious on this. a little less time on his age and whether or not he's going to run and a little more time on the damn record. no wonder there's a gap between performance and perception. i think it's pretty obvious because we -- there are a differences of thoughts and whatever you focus on you find more of. the democratic party and the press and others are so focused situationally on his age, should he or should he not run on his record, and our job is to get out of that muck and to get back on our feet and make the case. >> am i supposed to interpret the comment about the vice president that if he chose not to run -- >> it's the biden and harris administration. maybe i'm a little

african americans, somehow surviving through slavery and then went on to say that the great society of lbjnd all the democratic presidents since then have made the black situation worse, not better. breaking up the black family. >> sean: that was a powerful moment. >> i thought so. >> sean: he faced discrimination but america's not a racist country. >> i have to give him credit for that whether he wins loses or draws that was something to behold. >> sean: he's an inspiring speaker. >> you have to be brave to say that kind of thing and the data shows that senator tim scott is absolutely right. the worst thing to happen to minority groups and african-americans in particular in this country in the last hundred years was the great society. >> and they're leaving the democratic party hispanics particularly. >> sean: good to see you both. by the way great being on your show earlier, too. >> thank you appreciate it. >> sean: joining us now with more, i see ron desantis is pulling up, he'll be the first guest, is the host of the hit show the ingraham angle, the one and only laura ingraham. now, ju

joining me now, the associate purchase at the lbj school of public affairs at ut-austin, alan coopermanfor years. and, you know, so i get the updates, and i saw an update, i guess it was earlier this week, with a pieces that i had no -- a piece that i had no idea about what was happening with respect to the biden administration and the dangerous game it's playing with respect to plutonium, the kind that ultimately can be used to make nuke hard weapons. talk to us about that, and i want to get your take on the role of bill gates and the notion that we would actually subsidize $2 billion to bill gates to help make this same plutonium. >> yeah. so from at least 70 years, the u.s.es has had this policy of trying not only to get countries not to want nuclear weapons, that's suppressing demand for nuclear weapons, but in case they do want nuclear weapons, we've had this policy of trying to suppress the supply of the materials necessary to make nuclear weapons. and the two key things are, one, is plutonium, which you mentioned, where the other is highly-enriched uranium. the hiroshima bomb use

how do we get joe biden out to where lbj was in march of 1968?lizes there is a problem. more democrats i talked to, almost all of them, say they would like to see biden step down. two problems. number one, he is delusional and is not think there is a problem. number two, there is no logical successor. that is the problem for the party. jonathan: do the polls scream there is a problem? greg: absolutely. about 70% of democrats say they would prefer a different nominee. i have never seen a gap like that. you could have more pressure. the other thing i should mention is that filing deadlines are fast approaching, by late october, early november. it is to late to file. they talked about some last-minute rescue for the party, is unwarranted. jonathan: before you run, before you go, have you heard about that missing f-35? greg: the missing what? jonathan: f-35. fighter jet. gone missing. tom: in the carolinas. jonathan: what on earth is going on? how does the military lose and f-35? greg: it is quite a story. i think is going to get bigger. jonathan: gr

there we were on the couch in 1968 and lbj and vietnam said i give up.avid ignatius dropped a bombshell two days ago. ann marie horton and i went back and forth on it. when -- when is biden going to do an lbj? terry: right now i think never. they put a situation in place where he is the oil through to find any party -- they put a situation in place where he is the only alternative in the party. you have the washington chattering classes going on about the need for change but there is no alternative. folks are not thrilled about the prospect of biden standing side and having a free-for-all. tom: back to grover cleveland alexander, that is the way the democrats do it. where have the democrats been a smooth operation out of a campaign? they are supposed to have a complete mess to get to the convention, right? terry: two things i can say about democrats is insert the will rogers comment about belonging to no organized political party. the second thing is when it is time to wax somebody -- whack somebody, democrats are better at that than republicans. i don't

being drafted 18-year-old watts told the crowd if they make me a rifle, the first man i would get is lbj, the crowd laughed. political and i quote, here, statements where the speaker means to communicate a serious expression of an intent to commit an act of unlawful violencece to a particular individual or group of arindividuals. as i stress that means to, what does that really mean is unclear. it was unclear lower courts disagreed about what this really meant. was -- it requires speakers to threaten someone or intended to communicate a message that came to be understood threatening to the person by whom it was received and that's the issue that thepe court tackled in the counterman case, counterman versus colorado. does the speaker's mental awareness, statement threatening nature make a difference in deciding whether it constitutes threat or reasonable person in the position of a target would find the message threatening. and it's important question because sometimes an intended message may get lost in translation. a joke might be misunas a threat, a threat may never have been intended.

and there's there's one for lbj reagan actually appears on covers and in what are references to reagan up here and various things i haven't a straight up comic biography of him yet it doesn't mean it's not out there doesn't mean it's not out there but no certainly the fifties and sixties and even the seventies that particularly the publisher dell was doing those kinds of comics where it's just a straight up biography, comic biography, and it kind of ties into some of that educational aspect that is sort of a tension with comic books. and if you want to talk fiction. around world war two was when we were shifting from the weird science western comic books to the superhero style comic books that we see today. and with the original dc superhero, which wasn't the justice league, it was actually justice society. you saw depictions of president franklin roosevelt who is actually, according to dc comics, a member of the justice society as the man who actually formed the team of dc superhero shows during world war two. so if you go back to the original justice society comic books that depict w

before, you couldn't make fun of a president on tv, there was an attempt to do a sketch show about lbj in the 1960s, and that was kiboshed by the network censors in kennedy's era. they never made fun of the president on tv, although there was this guy named vaughn meader who did a record about the kennedys, and he basically just did different accents for the different kennedy brothers and really wasn't that funny, but it was seen as very transgressive. and there's a legendary moment about him. half the book, the let the records he puts out are a sensation. huge big sellers. but kennedy was assassinated in 1963, as we all know, tragically and right after kennedy is assassinated, lenny bruce, the comedian, gets up on stage. the audience is shell shocked. everybody's upset. and bruce just sits there for a long, long, silent period looking at the audience. and he finally breaks the silence by saying, boy von meter is screwed. and it was true that was the end of von meter's career. but it was a big deal that he even was able to make fun of the president on a record. but now let's fast forwa
