dr. johnson moved here, it was not easy.ffort tohallenging move away from his family and set up shop in lynchburg and deal with all the changes of time. but he was one of these movers and shakers and he really took as, not as problems but more as challenges. world tour. forprogram was a real model healthier gibson, from 1946 to 1950. she would train here in the summers for 12 to 16 weeks with my grandfather. so that was very intense training, very intense competition on a daily basis, and every weekend there were tournaments. so there wasn't a week that she was here in the summer that she wasn't playing a tournament on weekends and training that some , best best tennis players male tennis players that the african-american community has to offer. that set the stage for 1951, when he started bringing kids to lynchburg virginia for 20 years, to this site, to train with the in thed brightest kids country. often, kids would say throughout with otherty, relatives of dr. johnson as well as coworkers, nurses, people who were part of

dr. byron johnson. [applause] dr. johnson: good evening. the museum of the bible has many wonderful exhibits will stop many of these exhibits are historical. some are contemporary. i have to say they are truly amazing. lectures and symposia like the one we will see tonight are quite common here at the museum. what we will find out is the consequential ways in which the bible is important to american society. tonight we'll look at the connection between the bible and religious freedom. the founders of our nation and the forebears came to this land to begin an unusual and -- unusual experiment. it had to do with a lot of things, including religious freedom. one of the most iconic symbols of that religious freedom is the liberty bell. some of you may have had the chance to see a replica of it on the second floor. the liberty bell was ordered on november 1, 1751, as a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of william penn's charter. when you tour and you see the replica, the replica was made in 2001 at the same foundry. the white chapel foundry

johnson: so put on your ambassador hat. you are my ambassador. dr. rice: not your trade ambassador, though. mr. johnson: and i say we need a , way to deal with this, if not tariffs, what else can we do? dr. rice: as i said, i won't be your trade ambassador. i did do the u.n. ambassador thing. the bottom line is, in the global context, all of these are multinational. you can't resolve it purely on a unilateral basis. what we need is to look at remedies that are more targeted and that are negotiated more broadly if possible than the u.s. acting in isolation. we're going to face retaliation. we're going to face retaliation from the european partners, and they have been explicit about that. we may well face retaliation from china if we end up imposing those tariffs against china and others. south korea. very important producer of these products that we need to work very closely with. and not find ourselves diverging from, not only for economic reasons but for obvious security reasons related to north korea. we've got to be a lot more deft than slapping on

on air once i got to say we got him on back all right maybe you two should be on for debates and dr johnson thanks for being on. the kaiser report is always going to be here. well that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacey ebert like to thank our guest dr michael hudson latest book j. for junkie economics if you want to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report and the next time. he becomes nuclear which will become all your lordship getting it toward your career as well but i guess it was the most got a year each invaded so i was studying one hundred fifty as its official line is that. north exist so i will study is in the u.s. occupied territories to be may be a great source of what i will study else to probably develop nukes and if that happens what about. to get not all this gantries have a lot to develop. with manufacture consent to public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and. we can all middle of the room sit. down not once not. lose all. the definitions and i'm back in the. south. taking the eco city

dr. johnson has great medical credentials. not managerial credentials about and he will be running the second largest agency in the government. so how do you think this confirmation hearing will go? >> we just don't know a whole lot about how he is prepared to answer questions about that experience, the white house and their allies have not been giving particularly deep rationale for this choice. the president obviously gets along with him and thought he did a great job describing the president's health over the summer. but you have not had the preparedness that you would sgoekt a nomin expect. so i think he has a tough confirmation hearing ahead of him and i think veterans issues are particularly charged at this moment and it is sort of an issue where concern crosses partisan and demographic lines in a way that not a lot of issues do. >> you have people running organizations now where they don't know what the hell the organization did before they got into it, so he has help there, whether it is the secretary of education or h

dr. johnson, because he had a business on 5th street. this is where some of the prominent whites live in the area. on can see in the distance, harrison and madison street, this is called garland hill. i am going to go down here and circle around. >> how far we from mckinley street? >> not that far. in fact, if you walked down this street, let me go down here. thesen see these houses, days where the white folks live. you can see one of my editors, book publisher, you might say. this is the area where a lot of the prominent whites live. you could come to trick-or-treat. street was within two blocks of here. whites lived over here. i am going to stop or a here -- stop right here. you can see the house over there. that is the mcdaniel house and i lived on the other side of it. so that is mckinley street. watching this,re what do you want them to know about? , its i said in the book does have a history. there is a lot of unwritten history because no one has documented it. i wanted to have some documentation of the history of the community. >>

dr. johnson as the new veteran of veterans affairs. i am thankful for dr.avid shulkin's service to our country and the great veterans is what the president said yesterday. leaning us on the phone is the deputy editor for the military times. why was he fired? a series of complicated reasons. it goes to be inspector general's report last month dealing with his own travel scandal, a summer trip to europe where he took his wife and accepted for a wimbledon tickets. since then we have seen a series controversies. the president said there were folks within the administration looking to undermine him and he promised to root out the subversives. they were policy fights over health care. eight seemed over the course of six weeks that secretary shulkin went from one of trump's most cabinet members and lee's controversial to one of his biggest problems. he was essentially fired over twitter without the president even mentioning his name. host: in the outgoing secretary has written an opinion piece in "the new york times." is not in their paper edition. he says it is b

dr. johnson >> this morning, vanderbilt university psychiatry professor jonathan metzl discusses mental health and gun violence. then mona charen talks about conservancies and the trump presidency

dr. ronny jackson on, admiral johnson, what do you see in his resume that qualifies him to lead one of the biggest bureaucracies in the world? 377,000 employees at the v.a. >> well, i think the sub stand stiff expertise may be there in terms of his military experience and experience as a doctor. the question is what is the proper experience. people are fantastic resumes don't do a great job but others more shaky do a wonderful job. so this is a difficult thing to predict. but fundamentally i think the most important factor is does the secretary have the president's trust. that will be the most upon thim factor. the other issue is around process and hopefully he can bring people around him who can help with the process but ultimately trust i think is the key factor. >> does he have the president's trust? the answer to that is absolutely. the president seems to love this guy. what does he like about him? >> i think you saw pretty clearly what the president loves about him. he has gone out on television and vigorously defended the president when he talked about the results of the president's

i was a teacher speaking on behalf in favor of johnson and kennedy's policy. the dr the demonstration, it wasn't violent by then. but host stillty on the elite campuses. i remember sds marching and talking in front of the bi buildings to kids before they became violent. after dr. king was assassinated, riots in 100 cities. my hometown. it was partly burned down. the marin's armed troops and the city. the law and orderer and the war in vietnam became the issues. >> and that's my next question. to try to put it in perspective, you had president johnson who won the new hampshire primary on march 12th and senator kennedy entering on march 16th, lbj drops out on march 31st and dr. king assassinated all within a four week period. >> it is hard to comprehend. to be able to see what was exacted in a month's time. compacted -- to think that the country seemed to be coming apart. and again a personal anecdote, my dad who was a life-long democrat fearful of the country and fearful on what is happening in the streets and voted for nixon in 1968 because he thought he was the law

johnson. it can happen. >> dr. anthony fouchy has advised five presidents on h.i.v.lth issues. >> in 1996 that was the watershed moment. when the combinations of drugs was shown to decrease the level of virus to below detectable levels. and to keep them there. >> in 2003, president george w. bush launched the president's emergency plan for aids relief recognizing the h.i.v. aids pandemic threaten to wipe out an entire generation in africa. >> seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many. we have confronted and will continue to confront h.i.v. aids in our own country and to meet a severe and urgent crisis abroad tonight i plan the emergency plan for aids relief. >> rock star bono from u2 gave mr. bush credit for saving millions of lives. investment has delivered. >> entire communities were disseminated. children were living without mothers and fathers u schools went without teachers. hospitals went without nurses and doctors. and today in those same areas we have nearly 13 million people on treatment because of. >> president obama noticed

forty nine cents president johnson signed the civil rights act fifty years after dr king's death and the one nine hundred sixty eight that makes twenty eight teams seem calm by comparison where are we. let's ask attorney professor activist minister and former minneapolis and the president and the chemo levy pounds welcome back. thanks for having me fifty years after dr king what is better now. well i would say that a number of things are better if you look at the situation that was occurring in the south prior to the start of the civil rights movement there were jim crow laws in place that prevented african-americans from being able to access certain facilities to certain restaurants to drink at any water fountain they wanted to or even to use the restroom where they wanted to and so through the activism of dr king rosa parks and so many others we saw in to jim crow laws particularly in the south as well as some parts of the north we also saw the passage of the one nine hundred sixty four civil rights act than one nine hundred sixty five voting rights act and the one nine hundred six

johnson: i thank dr. harris for his time and our colleagues for the constitution and for the sanctity of human life. children are a reward from him. and for most women, it is a beautiful moment in their life. here are times when it can bring uncertainty and the centers throughout our nation is so vital. hundreds of thousands of women have sought the guidance of these septemberers nationwide and been embraced with care and love. these centers serve the woman, the child and their whole families. there are more than six in my district. from the northwest crisis and mary's house to the community pregnancy, the new life center and these centers, they work day in and day out. i know these folks well. they are selfless volunteers. i provided pro bono services and have often defended their causes in court. they save lives and provide critical care like performing ultrasound and so much more and do it at zeroof costs. they do it with zero federal funding and save taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. as fath

dr. king was assassinated, i had riots in 100 cities in my home. >> that's my next question. try to put this in perspective. you have president johnson who narrowly won on march 12th. then you had senator kennedy entering the race on march 16th. lbj drops out on march 31st and dr. king is assassinated on april 4th. all within a four week period. >> it's hard to comprehend for people now to see what was compacted in a month time. my dad who was a lifelong democrat began saying i'm really fearful for the country. i'm fearful about what's happening and voted for nixon in 1968. he was the law and order man. he was the man that would bring law and order back to our streets and bring our country together. the other thing about vietnam that we talked about the tet offensive, the united states won the tet offensive but it was the offensive of the north and the viet cong and the south. it was so fearful to the american people and see that in their living rooms. we want to talk about the role of the media because pat is telling us these great stories about how the nixon administration prior sdagoing i office knew how to use it. >> i believe it

johnson from ohio. >> dr. rivlin in your testimo testimony-- what are examples [inaudible] >> by the cbo had involved in the cbo organization back in --. >> there have been a number of responsibilities that the cbo was asked to undertake, and i'm not sure that i remember them all, but some of them had to do with impact on state and local governments, with a responsibility not perceived at the beginning and at other times environmental impact has been suggested as a possible responsibility. i think the budget committees and the cbo together have been sensible in saying we'll stick to the budget impact of legislation that-- and because that's our primary mission. >> okay. >> dr. holtz-eakin, if the cbo identifies an error in its scoring, what's the process for releasing a revised statement? >> if the error is caught during the process of scoring legislation, you'll communicate with the committee typically and the members who are sponsoring the legislation about what you discovered and let them know and then you
