you know, and we're talking about very low, historically low levels of richard johnson . levels of richard. >> i mean we're at politics at this moment is very volatile within this very same parliament. the conservative lives have, um, gotten over 50% of the of the vote in the polls. the last general election was, um, a very sizeable majority for the government. we've seen in the government. we've seen in the course of the short campaigns of a general election , campaigns of a general election, say, in 2017, the polls change dramatically and so i think that at the moment, if we had an election tomorrow, that, yes , election tomorrow, that, yes, the conservatives would be facing , uh, if not complete facing, uh, if not complete annihilation, a historically bad result. but british politics is very changeable at the moment. and, uh, it's not the case that they would be, you know, we can laboun they would be, you know, we can labour, can just rest on its laurels and assume to strut into downing street. you see how helpful is this someone like danny kruger kind of saying these things, making the

richard and johnson was vice presidential running mate. they were running for the in 1836. and julia chinn became the subject of a particularly caricature. dewitt clinton's wife at one point had been caricatured. seward. there was an incident at saratoga in upstate new york that was a popular spa resort and place where a lot of politicians found themselves in the late summer of every year. and mrs. clinton did what they called cut, which was basically look at somebody and turn her head really quickly. she cut martin van buren and the press actually glorified this. for some reason, it seems like martin van gurr was not really all that much beloved by the press. so the press caricatured the way clinton's wife, but also used the opportunity. and the caricature was based on a parent. so there are other examples of other women in the part of these caricatures who were part of the lafargue betrayed. but to our knowledge, julia was the first first lady to actually have this happen to her confession. thank you. another question, can you say more about why the press associated her w

james buchanan, andrew johnson, benjamin harrison, warren harding, harry truman,, jfk, lyndon johnson, richardon, barack obama, joe biden. about 5%. host: only two of them -- thinking this through to be sure -- so, lyndon johnson and barack obama went directly from the senate to the vice presidencym barack obama was never vice president. betty:. betty: i mean, to theidency. host: lbj was vice president for jfk. jfk went straight from the senate. it's, jfk and barack obama are the two that went directly from the senate to the presidency. most had other service in between. host: and other senators have run for president, john kerry and bob dole. is it intimidating at times working with 100 would be presidents? betty: [laughs] it can be. it can be intimidating working with 100 senators period because when you work in the senate in a position like my position was, for instance, you really have 101 bosses. because we worked directly for the secretary of the senate, so that the senate, but we also work for the 100 senators. everything we do is screw tonight by 100 one people so there can be intimida

he writes a memo to richard nixon that president johnson is about to order a bombing halt in regard to the bombing of north vietnam. this was a surprise to nixon. one might call it an october surprise because nixon was assured by lbj that there would be no bombing halt unless the north vietnamese met three very clear conditions. he writes in his memoir, i fired off a battery of orders. the campaign manager was an informal advisor to his campaign. two senators blasting moves by the white house. call johnson and let him know we are on to his plans. nixon is seeing this as a retreat by johnson for those three preconditions. am i right? >> when i looked at that memo, this is original historians -- it's not like indiana jones. you're sitting in archives. not supposed to be any dust in an archive. you are assembling records like evidence, pieces of a puzzle. you cannot cheat and look at the box and figure out what it's supposed to look like in advance. you never get all the pieces. you have to make a judgment without all the pieces that you want. the memo never surfaced. it was quoted in nix

lyndon johnson, a masterful politician. he was every bit richard nixon's match on the democratic side of the aisle. and if he had run in 68 against nixon, that would have been the battle of the titans. i mean, there would be no greater election in modern history. i mean, these were unparalleled, you know, leaders of their parties who were had similar political careers who had who had sort of leapfrogged each other at different times. i mean nixon made it first to the vice presidency. johnson made it first to the presidency. i mean, they they were very competitive when they were they because they often faced each other on a ballot. and i think what they came to realize and 68 is not facing each other on the ballot anymore, that they actually had a lot in common. i think really we have our luci baines johnson said, you know, johnson's daughter, youngest daughter, very different people, different politically different to policy and management. she's like, but it was there. it it was call it rivals shared enemies that brought them together ultimately b

hi my name is richard johnson.actually spoke to you at the november 7th meeting about the issue that was just discussed about the hayes street closure and what we're concerned about is, are you overstepping your boundaries is and asking for a study to permanently close hayes street. i put this up because as i have lived in the neighborhood for 33 years, i follow all your quick build projects. i can tell you about what happened on van ness and its interesting, i'd have to say to you, director tomlin, and also you as commissioners, that it's consistent with all these quick builds, that they've actually put a nail through the small business communities, be it the geary corridor, be it the taraval corridor, or you can talk to small businesses. and as someone who's a pedestrian on the valencia bike lane is a disaster just the way that it's done. it does not fit with vision zero. and the fact of it puts a pedestrian at great risk because you're making cars do really extreme turns like left turns, u-turns. so not only end

johnson's legacy to. so, yes we have richard nixon to thank as well for. but the ball's really starts to get going kind of in a contemporaneous way. we would find out about jfk on. but in a contemporary, honest way with lbj and of course the lives lost and of course, the 50,000. yeah. and not only the 58,000, but the 3 million in indochina as well. yeah, right. nicky, give you the last word on this. lyndon johnson, the first president to govern the us, had the infrastructure for an inclusive, multiracial democracy that that democracy is only 60 years old. and he helped to create the infrastructure for that inclusive democracy. and at a moment when a lot of americans are worried about the future of democracy, trying to figure out what we what we lost and what we want, i think that has to start in many ways with lyndon johnson and his legacy is shaping those debates to this day. the folks who are are arguing that we need to have that of democracy. you have to trace it back to johnson. and that's a that's a pretty powerful legacy. it wasn't his idea. he wasn'

>> lyndon johnson was a masterful politician. he was every bit richard nixon's match on the democratic side of the aisle. if he had run in 1960 against nixon that would've been the battle of the titans. these were unparallel, the leaders of their parties who had similar political careers. they leap frog each other at times. nixon made it first to the vice presidency. johnson made it first to the presidency. they were very competitive because they often faced each other on the ballot. they came to realize in 1968, not facing each other on the ballot anymore, they had a lot in common. lucy johnson said, johnson's youngest daughter, very different people. politically different approaches the policy and management. call it rivals or shared enemies, and brought them together by the end of their careers. each were aware they did not go to school. they did not go to the best colleges. johnson went to texas state. they both felt looked down upon by the elite, the establishment in both parties, they had certain under curtains between them that drew them together

johnson recently coming out against the deal, saying, quote, absolutely not. after details of that draft were leaked online and we'll go through it. let's talk with congressman richardorning to you. here are these leaks, where johnson seems to be digging in his heels, 15,000 green cards, extra green cards a year, that's an increase. immediate work permits to every illegal released from custody which is like 85%. taxpayer funded lawyers. so that's what he's saying not so fast on. >> the whole premise is ludicrous. first of all, to say you're going to issue visas to immigrants who are released, you're talking about in the last three months an entire congressional district worth of people. right now it doesn't matter because just in the last three months you that many people being funded, what they eat, how they're housed, medicine, education, anybody who has a baby, that's taken care of already out of your taxpayer dollars and that's in the last three months. an entire congressional district district. in the last three years you've had 13 congressional districts released into america. that's what we're paying for. this rewards bad behavior that caused it to begin with

but after the eisenhower administration, president kennedy nor johnson really did anything to further desegregation, when richard nixon became. less than 10% of desegregated, the southerners were clearly opposed. desegregation. so nixon told his don't put our fingers in their eyes. we don't rub their noses in it. we don't get our name in the newspapers, but we do it. and they did. when richard nixon left office the vast of southern schools were desegregated. now, getting back to richard in his navy service when he returned from the south pacific the navy finally took advantage of his navy or his lawyer skills. i'm negotiate the termination of large war contracts, big business and the government. he was stationed in lawman hatton in new york city, and he was so successful that he was soon terminating contracts within 500 miles in new york. and he was basically his ownboss. after negotiating the termination of these war contracts for just a couple of months. he was recognized with the second letter accommodation to go, the one he received in the south pacific. now, many of our friends in the media and different hi

the margin was a victory that lyndon johnson won the senate race in texas the year he first entered the senate or how john f kennedy won the presidency advanced richard nixon by a paper thin margin from a bunch of votes from illinois. we have to know this stuff because otherwise we are not going to get one step closer to the perfect union than we had in the late. in the late 1700s. and i think this why wouldn't we why would anybody who essentially likes to read history books for pleasure not wade into that and simply say, i got to say, man, that is so wrong. the whole idea of saying, no, no, no, you must not read books based on our history is some degree of it's like living in the bizarro world from an old superman comic book which which jeffrey and i know an awful lot about old superman. come about. and i just want to say real quickly, when i first met tom, that comes up his focus on a more perfect union in the constitution was really interesting to me because it is as it is and acknowledge by the people who wrote the constitution and hey, we're not getting this thing. all right, right now, this is what we can come up with and we have a job to make
