i'll bill johnson, the executive director for -- [indiscernible] -- similar perspective to -- in terms of nationally. all the problems that we've got. big city, small towns. president trump: i'll ask you the same question. where are you having the worst time? >> obviously the violence that's going on in cities like new york city and portland, oregon, is horrible. president trump: what about wisconsin? where they take the pepper spray and the tear gas away? what about that? >> those are -- [indiscernible] -- also. there's also another problem where cities like minneapolis, for example, where the violence has been quelled but now you have the city council voting to defund the entire -- dess band the entire police department. that's a whole other kind of stress. it's bad for the officers -- president trump: they want to disband the whole police department? >> dismantle. president trump: they want to dismantle, right? dismantle the whole police department. >> yes. of course the people who voted for that maintain their own private security. that's ok. but the shop keeper, the guy running th

eisenhower wanted to veto his own bill, because johnson had eviscerated it. eisenhower signed the bill. it became an important steppingstone to johnson's later ability to deliver a civil rights legislation in the senate. he said, i showed him that bill that i could control the southern democrats. i got them so they wouldn't veto it in committee. and it passed. so the passage was more important than what was in the bill. the two of them, it's another example of would the '50s is so amazing. the young johnson making his bones working the senate is a great moment and eisenhower is, wow, this guy is good. he wanted to work with him, but johnson ran rings around him. >> one thing interesting about that was the man that eisenhower designated to push his -- brownell's bill was nixon, but brownell is often given credit for vetting eisenhower while in paris on civil rights. can you go into that a bit? >> well, brownell was delegated to go to try to persuade eisenhower to run. they talked about how it would happen. he was part of the liberal new york wing, the dewey tea

i don't think there's any way honored that they could've gotten that bill for congress, i think it took lyndon johnsonhis great skills as a former majority leader and an incredible arm twister to get that bill through,. >> in each of these programs, when you talk about how the first lady. the first couple, have use the white house as a base for their lobbying, as it were, how does johnson see the white house. they have a warning of course, after the assassination, but by early january of 1964, they were having their two or three evenings a week getting congressman and their spouses in their small groups, they could've done it in one big reception and gotten some footage, but they did it a dozen time and got much closer to the congressman, also i was struck by the fact that she is the white house, many of the congressman wives had never been upstairs, certain didn't open the door but they have them in the women reporters, they had only lived in the white house about a month and she had the woman reporters going to the family bathroom and looking at the living quarters, it was completely different from

the watergate impeachment proceeding from the 3 that failed andrew johnson bill clinton and donald trump the democrats worked in watergate with republican sam ervin of north korea and north carolina worked with howard baker of tennessee and they produced a growing feeling. on a bipartisan basis that nixon had to go by ignoring that relatively recent precedent the democrats guaranteed the outcome we got that the and this this is a i think a very fundamental point about democratic theory the principle way you remove presidents is by elections not by. we're 4 months away from the next of those elections what is true blues is by a small margin do you expect him to go quietly or organize some going of bizarre national emergency to try and stay way well maybe you would tell me what evidence you have that he's planning to to create a bizarre national emergency you know it's 4 years in arizona didn't say that the vote will be the most corrupt election in the history of our country and we cannot let this happen so you're making the same mistake as many trump critics you're exaggerating without ad

the justice in policing bill adopted hank johnson's thoughtful approach restricting 1033. it has strong restrictions that prevent anything lethal or even aggressive from being transferred. it essentially limits the transfers to equipment available for civilian use. for civilian use, not for a war zone. there was agreement when writing the justice and policing act that representative johnson's language was stronger than obama's executive order. this defense appropriations bill carries the same strong restrictions. in response to the national outrage over police violence, armed vehicles, assault weapons, and military gear, once again, these weapons of war that we saw, they filled our streets and communities, treating peaceful protesters like they were a hostile invading force. rather than people asking for their rights to be respected. we need to change this dynamic. we start by stopping the dumping of weapons of war on our streets. please vote no on this amendment. thank you and i yield. chair lowey: if there is no further debate, the member from florida is recognized for o

bill clinton, johnson, eisenhower all had better booming economies tran trump. now, of course, it's not that same kind of situation in the wake of the pandemic. so trump has actually adjusted claim. he no longer says he has the best economy in history. he says he has the best economy in world history. once he actually he said he had the best economy in universe, it's -- [laughter] >> we also talk and i write in the chapter about trade falsehoods, many and the next chapter is about foreign policy. this is an area where the president feels -- he's -- i used to cover foreign policy and spent 9 years covering the state department for the washington post and, you know, there's a way to do diplomacy, the president is more like bull in china shop. i saw trump ad where he bragged he was bull on china shop, so i guess they can't get mad at me for using that line in the book. hence, things about foreign policy. i go through a variety of different issues, north korea or iran, the middle east, there's one that i just think is delightful. the other ones are interesting and t

eisenhower signed the bill, it became an important steppingstone, to johnson's leader ability to delivera civil rights legislation in the senate, he said, i shouted not bill that i could control southern democrats. i got them so that they wouldn't veto it. and it passed the passage was more important than what was in the bill. another example of why the fifties is so amazing, the young johnson making his bones work and the senate. eisenhower was, like wow, this guy is really good, he wanted to work with him but it's a fascinating character study, we have one more question. >> he just preempted the issue, one thing interesting about that was that eisenhower dedicated the push with nixon, but brown day it was often given credit for vetting eisenhower, could you go into that a little bit. >> he was delegated to talk and try and persuade him wrong, they spent quite a lot of time talking about how it happened and he was part of some liberal new york win, do team they got along very, well i think when eisenhower realized this probe coming from new york saying we can make this work, he wasn't j

johnson white house. >> yes. the first tax billwhen that was signed and lyndon johnson signed that he went with lady birthday johnson to the house of jackie kennedy and gave her four pens, one for her and one for each of the kids and for the library. during the white house years the contact was rather formal but johnson invited mrs. kennedy back but she never came back while they were there. they gifted to the children, i know the first christmas for example they gave john jr. a fire engine -- >> they reached out to her. so in the 1980s, after she was widowed, lady birthday johnson and jacqueline kennedy established a friendship when they were both on martha's vineyard in the summer. >> when you look at the documentary evidence, she supported her husband publicly but in her private, did you find any doubts about the vietnam war. >> well she said if you're going to start a war it has to be because of some big event like harbor and to me that metropolitan she thought they didn't have it in vietnam. it was so hard with all of the prot

johnson's took office? >> yes, the first of the tax bill, when that was signed, when lyndon johnson signed that, he went withady bird johnson to the house of jackie kennedy in georgetown and gave her four pens, one for her, one for each of the kids, and one for the library. i think during the white house years, the contact was rather formal. the johnsons certainly invited mrs. kennedy back but she never came back while she were there. they gave gifts to the children. they gave john jr. a fire engine. they certainly reached out to her. after the white house, though, in the 1980s, after she was widowed, lady bird johnson and jacqueline kennedy -- i guess we wouldn't say renewed a relationship, really established a relationship when they were both on martha's vineyard during the summer. >> certainly she supported her husband publicly, but in her private accounts did you find any boughts about the war? >> i never saw anything. >> she said if you're going to start a war it has to be like some big event like pearl harbor. they didn't have it. >> it was so hard with all the protests and they were so personal. that

>> i cosponsored that bill with senator ron's johnson, he, rick scott and i, three businessmen in theenate put that great proposal out there. look at very simply. 90% of people are working. 4% is considered full employment. so you have got 6% out there still been dislocated by government. so something does need to be done. democrats want to do this through the election, mostly the reason, to the end of the year. the think i hear most going back home to indiana, i can't get people back to work. in places where your economy was not shut down unduly, mostly red state, ironically, we need people to get back. you do not want to have perverse incentive of encouraging people to not come back to the jobs they had before. so there could be a vote yet today, possibly on something. i'm not sure but that is where we're going to come from. they want to i have got american public another 3.5 trillion in debt for a bunch of other extraneous stuff unrelated. you got to remember, the economy was the best that it had ever been. i've been at it 37 years. the trump economy of lower regulations and tax re

lyndon johnson introduced a bill called the civil rights act. he was elected to the u.s. house in 1987. many remember him as the conscience of congress. but america lost another piece of its conscience yesterday, reverend ct vivian, a friend of his and civil rights icon. he called vivian the greatest preacher to ever live. both men lived to see familiar scenes of street protests and demands for justice. congressman lewis cheered them on, including the demonstrations for police reform. >> i think it sent a message that we will not give up on justice, we will not give up on fairness, that we will continue to press and press on for what is right, for what is fair, for what is just. >> for john lewis, that was the bottom line, it was about elevating justice and burying hate. >> hate is too heavy a burden to bear, so we need to lay it down. it is better to love. so all of you working together, we can turn our nation around and create a beloved community where no one is left out or left behind because of the color of their skin and it doesn't matter whether we are black or whit

bill goes to the gop-controlled senate, where it's unclear if it will ever be acted upon. >>> a bipartisan effort to make juneteenth a federal holiday failed in the senate. republican senator ron johnson the bill, saying he supported celebrating the end of slavery but the measure was too expensive. he estimated the holiday would cost the private sector up to $600 million a year. support for a federal holiday gained momentum following protests over the death of george floyd. >>> tropical storm gonzalo is strengthening and expected to become a hurricane today. the fast-moving storm is on with 50-mile-p-houwinds and ern heavy rain. itecast to weaken again toa trie dominican republic early next week. in the gulf of mexico, tropical depression 8 will move toward the texas coast this weekend. we'll keep a watch on this one. >>> a developing headline from some areas of this country. there's a beer shortage. >> yeah, and distributors say beer supplies that are up to the ceiling are now not even close. they say there are several reasons for the shortage. one is that people are buying more beer and drinking at home instead of at bars. >> another reason is aluminum cans. apparentlyhesh w augsome

eight days after americans saw those scene, president lyndon johnson introduced the bill that would become the landmark vote being rights act. the fight for lewis didn't end there. he continued to push for changes in the law and was elected in the house for 1987, becoming known as the conscience of congress. we lost congressman lewis on the same day as a friend and fellow civil rights icon, c.t. vivian, who martin luther king called the greatest preacher to ever live. both men lived to see yet again familiar scenes of protests and demands for justice in the streets in the recent demonstrations for police reform, scenes that lewis cheered on. >> i think he sent a message that we would not give up on justice, we would not give up on fairness, that we will continue to press and press on for what is right, for what is fair and what is just. >> for john lewis, that was the bottom line. it was about justice, not hate. >> we're having a burden to bear so we need to lay down. it is better to love. all of you working together, we can turn our nation around and create a beloved community where no on

earlier that year, johnson had called on congress to pass the bill after a months-long, often violenting rights campaign across the south led bleaders like lewis. johnson asked congress for the legislation just days after bloody sunda >> but even if we pass this bill, the battle will not be er. what happened in selma is part of a far larger movement which reaches into every section and state of america. it is the effort of american negroes to secure for themselves the full blessings of american life. their cast be our cause too. because it is not just negroes, but really it is all of us, who must overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice. and we shall overcome. >> woodruff: voting rights became a part of lewis' ongoing fight for civil rights. after leaving sncc in 1966, he began working with groups like the voter education project, helping more than 4 million minority voters register. then, in 1981, lewis won a seat the atlanta city counci in 1987 he was elected to congress, where he would represent atlanta for the rest of his career. >> when you see something that is not

johnson introduced a bill to congress that would eventually become known as the landmark voting rights act of 1965. lewis went on to serve more than three decades in the united states congress and received the presidential medal of freedom from president obama in 2011. since his passing there has been an outpouring of praise from admirers and public officials including the clintons, the black caucus and president obama who wrote in a statement that lewis loved this country so much that he risked his life and his blood so that it might live up to its promise. lewis became a powerful voice in the house caucus and was often called the conscience of the congress. he never stopped making good trouble and fiercely fought for eequality and justice until his very last day. jeff bennett has a look back on his remarkable journey. >> reporter: he was often called the conscience of congress known as a moral leader who demanded respect from democrats and republicans. seen as one of the last unifying forces in national politics. lewis was one of ten children born to sharecroppers in rural alabama in
