johnson is not totally responsible for this but johnson was president and in our system of government the president is symbolic leader. when the president doesn't lead it is a problem. we don't look to congress or the supreme court for leadership. you look to the person in the white house. it was tremendously important that he decided to throw the weight of his leadership power and capacity against the forces of reaction, people who did not want to transform american society and put us hundred years behind. so that is the story of johnson and his role in this particular era. >> thank you very much. [applause] >> i would like to open the floor for questions. please wait until the microphone is given to you and meanwhile, while the microphone is going to this individual here i am going to oppose the first question using the moderator's prerogative. my question is henry raymond and andrew johnson were both rather close to abraham lincoln, indicated support for lincoln and lincoln's policies but in the aftermath of lincoln's death they seemed to be trey his policy and vision. why? >> just

if you look at the papers of andrew johnson, many more letters to andrew johnson than andrew johnson to other people. that is a problem for a biographer right there. we don't have his inner voice. with jefferson you have 18,000 letters he wrote over a period of his life, and other documents. even though he remains an in a glut to lots of people there is enough there to craft what he is thinking or feeling and who he was. we didn't really have it to the same extent and the letters we have that show when he is a young man lots of misspellings and phonetics spellings of things and it is difficult to wrap your mind -- for me it was difficult to wrap my mind around who he really was. you just don't have the record you would typically have. not just jefferson but other people who were president. just not there. that is a big problem. because we don't have lots of his letters and there's not a huge repository of him explaining what he is doing we don't have a lot of stories about him. there's another biography, the principal biographer of andrew johnson unfortunately died last year. i was h

johnson was already there. it was the north vietnamese who did not want to talk but after tet they agreed to talk because after tet they had nothing left. they were militarily weakened and in danger of the u.s. escalating and attacking them. johnson was not going to escalate any way. the chairman of the joint chiefs suggested this. general westmoreland called for more troops. the administration, should we should we, went on for a long time. if we do escalate, all these bureaucratic things. and third news of this leaked to the new york times, headlines about escalation in the works. we call for more peace talks and this time they have them. it wasn't that the cat -- tet demoralized united states, wasn't that johnson lost middle america. little america lost the president. that is why tet was sacrificed. it wasn't just the press. it was mainly lyndon johnson. he gave up on himself. the lessons from tet that apply to to they are things like don't give the enemy credit for having a better plan than they have. someti

so if you look at the papers of andrew johnson, their are many, many more letters to andrew johnson did enter chancing to other people. so that poses a problem for a biographer ratepayer. we don't have this inner voice. whichever city of 18,000 letters he wrote over the period of his life and other kinds of documents and other things. even though he remains an innate lead to lots of people, there is still enough there to sort of some sense of what he's thinking, what he's feeling in who he was. john finn was at a disadvantage because we don't have that to the same extent and the letters we have the show when a show lots of missed telling, lots of phonetic spelling for things and it's difficult to wrap your mind -- it was for me, difficult to wrap my mind about who he really was because we just don't have the kind of record you would typically have, not someone i jefferson, but other people who are present, so that's a big problem. because we don't have lots of letters and there's not a huge repository of him explaining what he's doing, we don't have lots of stories about him. there's an

& johnson. i think it is a nice complement to regulation. companies have an interest in ensuring health and safety in the supply chain and we can nfls that process. >> this -- -- influence that process. >> this decision in the role-making process, in getting standards -- >> it is very osified. >> some of the -- this was actually first took lace on the federal regulatory agenda at the beginning of the bush administration. getting to a proposal and once we get through proposals, there will be numerous opportunities for public comments and this is -- our standard is 40 years old and actually requires using equipment that is no longer available and measuring approaches which no one no longer uses. about 500 standards for chemical exposure in the workplace. 470 of them are based on work. a list that was put together, a voluntary industry and it has been unchanged since then. many were based on the 1940's and 1950's and it will take five or 10 years to change any standard and we can only do a handful

for johnson, this is personal.he's a lincoln high grad, class of 2000. >> you want to do anything in the arts, you'd probably go to lincoln high school, so to hear that that school lost their arts department, their funding for that, it kind of really made me sad and i was like, that's not okay. we definitely have to on something. >> lady gaga today. >> johnson is hoping to turn her jokes into cash. every dollar raised from her sunday's show will go 100% to lincoln. >> i'm really pleased that she's coming back. >> reporter: that's music to lincoln high's theater program director chuck man the. >> it's just tremendously touching. that she's -- she wants to help out. that she cares enough about her schools in this area. that she came home to us to do that. ♪ >> reporter: this year lincoln lost funding for the first time in school history forcing the dopt start fund-raising. next year it looks even more challenging as they're hoping to raise more than $60,000 to save the arts. >> it was these classes that kind of gave

but just talk about johnson for a minute. >> guest: johnson of course was vice president after candy was a sassy. he was in tennessee. had been a slave owner himself. not particularly interested in slavery but wanted to preserve the union. made that distinction. but after linking.com a lot of historians feel that johnson actually sensed the course of our racial progress back a generation. because he failed to act to follow through on some of lincolns initiatives but also he of course agree to pull soldiers, union soldiers out of the south, and also sort of gave up on the radical republican reconstruction effort endless mode more sympathetic of the south. he set back the effort a lot. he could've done a lot more, and you see that in some of our presidents, figures who could have made a big difference. washington is one of those cases because he had such a paramount position in the country. if you try to take on some of these institutional obstacles to emancipation, he perhaps could have done. another interesting thing about andrew johnson, robert e. lee the famous southern general sai

lyndon johnson also from texas had experience around him. the presidents from the north many times some are considered laconic presidents in some ways like president kennedy had no experience with african-americans his whole life wasn't interested in the civil rights issue and is only after he became president and rather late in his presidency in 1963 when he started to take notice of the tremendous bubbling up of the civil rights movement, you know, by the protesters in the streets and being a world war ii veteran, he was very much at miring of the physical courage and he saw the physical courage of the demonstrators and the so pressed him a great deal so by the time his presidency -- he was assassinated of course he was a much different kind of president dealing with civil rights than initially and of course the was cut short. >> host: one of the things that intrigued me about your book is good bibliography because you had -- you have to have a great time looking at all these folks who go about their time in the white house, many at the wh

and johnson. his response abilities include global leadership of all occupational safety and industrial hygiene, toxicology, our ergonomics, and fleet safety programs. his background includes over 30 years of experience the pharmaceutical and health-care products industry, initially as a research scientist and now has environment, health, and safety leader. david is the professor at the boston is a very -- at boston university. he is the author of three books and he worked as an adviser to the u.s. department of labor, osha, and other agencies. he serves as a mediator and adviser on a range of issues across the globe. peg, let's start with you. the afl-cio works closely with osha and often pushes osha to do more. can you talk about the relationship that unions like yours have with the agency. >> we have a long history with this agency and with this law. was the unions that a law passed back and 1970. since that time, i would say that we have been both a friend to the agency at many times and then

johnson died in 1864. lincoln paid for a headstone on his grave in washington and chose the inscription. and i have a picture of it. what does it say? william johnson, citizen. the one word, citizen. this is lincoln sticking it to the chief justice of the supreme court who was still alive then. but also lincoln says, yes, these people are now part of our society. it didn't mean you necessarily had the right to vote. women were citizens, and they couldn't vote. so i think the question really relates to, you know, after his -- if lincoln had lived into reconstruction, he would have faced the same dilemma that everybody, all republicans faced which is do you go to full black suffrage or at least black male suffrage, partial suffrage? lincoln was believing in partial suffrage, but i think he would have possibly -- we don't know what he would have done, but possibly with other republicans come to see that to protect themselves if for no other reason all black men in the south would need the right to vote agains

another interesting thing about andrew johnson, robert e. lee, the famous southern general said that he was surprised johnson didn't push harder for the free equality for the freed slaves because he felt the south would have understood when we lost the war -- >> host: they don't understand that yet. >> guest: this is what robert e. lee fothen and that's true, there is still that dynamic johnson was afraid that the southern states would cause him a lot of problems in his other programs and of course he had a lot of progress problems with impeachment so there was a whole other dynamic but the fear of the south might do is very common in our history right from the beginning. >> host: one of the president that really surprised me and not surprised because you know the history of course is woodrow wilson. he was an intellectual. he had been president of princeton university so one would have fought, but his reaction to race almost unpredictable, and very, very harsh coming after a president who entertained booker t. washington, here comes this in

smart companies like johnson and johnson, which is represented here today, understand -- understand this and have worked with osha to improve health and safety. david michaels, the assistant secretary of labor for osha, under his leadership osha has developed new relationships. they have modernized operations to better technologies, boosted efforts in enforcement and compliance, and completed long awaited, sets standards to protect workers. before his confirmation in 2009, dr. michaels served as professor of embar metal held at the george washington school of public health where he was a nationally recognized epidemiologist. previously he served in 1998 as

that to magic johnson.of our songs you know we keep it very simple. >> jimmy: yeah, but this cover is anything but simple. i don't understand it at all. [ laughter ] >> you know what, i disagree. >> jimmy: yeah, agree to disagree. >> jimmy: and then, andy, you had one i thought was a great idea and they shot you down. >> this one, crazy the rejection on this one. >> jimmy: lonely island. three mork.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: this is a no-brainer. >> no-brainer. >> it's like they hate making money. >> jimmy: it's like people don't like --they don't like making money, exactly. >> jimmy: it's nothing about the picture of andy, though. look, look at andy's face.

johnson -- 68, right? johnson has announced he's not going to run. the imam war is killing and hubert humphrey and eugene mccarthy runs and mccarthy does better than anyone expected and body announces. >> guest: causing a lot of ill will hear and and all the has won all but the word in primaries and then it's the california primary. imagine if robert kennedy had lived and so mayor daley who was the symbol of the old guard, the old politics if he was backing the peace candidate you don't have all those demonstrators you only have the radicals and they are marginalized then i went home and i couldn't sleep because of all these other things that occurred to me specifically. if you look at the numbers of 1968 humphrey had the support of the old guard and in those days on like now a lot of the states during the primaries, so the general population was it's going to be tough for robert kennedy even after winning the primaries but if he had survived the assassination attempt which is the plot in here and think about what happened with ronald reagan after he

earlier, johnson & johnson led the dow out of the red with a healthy forecast. a rise of new homes in march gave home builders a boost. declining goldman sachs's revenue fueled speculation the investor bank may be losing its edge.

justice van houten is at johnson and johnson. his responsibilities include global leadership of occupational safety, industrial hygiene, toxicology, ergonomics, and fleet safety programs. his background includes over 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical and health-care products industry, initially as a research scientist and now as environmental health and safety later. david weill is professor of economics and he goes to labor relations, occupational safety and health, and transparency policy. he is the author of three books and he previously worked as an advisor to the u.s. department labor. his wage and hour division and osha and the number of other offices. peg, let's start with you. the afl-cio works closely with osha and often pushes ocean to do more. can you talk about the relationship that unions like yours have with the agency? >> we have a long history with this agency and with this law. it was the unions who fought for and got the osha law passed back in 1970. since that time, we have been both a friend to the

johnson took that personally.nd he felt that, you know, so many other things with him it was all about him. [laughter] and he felt, well, if this is the way people treat the cook to the vice president of the united states, that's just wrong. and so, but some people feel that kind of experience and the experience he saw with some of his other african-american staff deepened his commitment to the civil rights issues. that's just a small portion of that story though. >> host: you know, richard nixon, we've not talked about him at all. interesting figure. you've got the picture in your book, the infamous picture of sammy davis jr. giving him a hug for which he got, basically, blasted among african-americans. >> guest: right. >> host: talk a bit about nixon and his racial sensitivities and insensitivities. >>ing right. well, you know, if you look now at some of the tapes that are coming out, he had terrible insensitivity. he made terrible, racest remarks, anti-semitic remarks privately. and so he never could quite esca

so if you look at the papers of andrew johnson, their are many, many more letters to andrew johnson did enter chancing to other people. so that poses a problem for a biographer ratepayer. we don't have this inner voice. whichever city of 18,000 letters he wrote over the period of his life and other kinds of documents and other things. even though he remains an innate lead to lots of people, there is still enough there to sort of some sense of what he's thinking, what he's feeling in who he was. john finn was at a disadvantage because we don't have that to the same extent and the letters we have the show when a show lots of missed telling, lots of phonetic spelling for things and it's difficult to wrap your mind -- it was for me, difficult to wrap my mind about who he really was because we just don't have the kind of record you would typically have, not someone i jefferson, but other people who are present, so that's a big problem. because we don't have lots of letters and there's not a huge repository of him explaining what he's doing, we don't have lots of stories about him. there's an

so get lyndon johnson sworn into office on june the 20th. that's what the first wrinkle. >> host: yes, linda johnson, of course. i'm pretty sure that's what was here before we go into the other scenarios, one of the things that's a little bit mindbending about all of this is in the first scenario you have jack kennedy killed, right? before he becomes president. in the second snow to have a bobby kennedy not killed in california. however, his brother has been killed back in 1963 in dallas. >> guest: to prevent your mind from being bent too much, at the end of each chapter i have something called reality reset. this is not like it's one continuous story. so after the first scenario with lyndon johnson is president ends with the cuban missile crisis, i say okay, jackie did come to the door, jack was a blow to. he got to be president. he was assassinated. johnson took us through civil rights and a war, and now we pick up at the ambassador hotel. when that section is over, say this didn't happen, robert kennedy was assassinated, now we pick up. >

johnson has announced he is not going to run. the vietnam war is killing him quite literally, and hubert humphrey is running and eugene mccarthy runs and mccarthy does better than anyone expected and then bobby announces. >> guest: causing a lot of ill will, which he had earned in one sense, and bobby has won all the oregon primaries and then it is the california primaries. but my point is in reality all he said was imagine if robert kennedy had lived in -- so mayor daley who was the symbol of the old guard, the old politics, if he was back in the peace candidate, you don't have all those demonstrators. you only have the radicals in their marginalize. that was the extent of my answer. then i went home and couldn't sleep. because of all these other things that occurred to me, specifically if you looked at the members in 1968, humphrey had the support of the old guard and in those days, unlike now a lot of the states there were no primaries. the bosses, leaders had the delegates. so the general calculation was it was going to be ve

sworn in office on january 20th. >> host: not lyndon johnson, yes, lyndon johnson. >> guest: i don'tant to push this. >> host: before we go into the other scenarios and one of the things that's kind of mind bending about all of this in the first you have jack kennedy killed, right, before he becomes president. >> guest: right. >> host: in the second scenario you have bobby kennedy not killed. >> guest: right. >> host: in california. >> guest: right. >> host: however, his brother has been killed back in 1963 in dallas. >> guest: yeah. >> host: right? >> guest: it's imprudent to prevent your mind being bent too much, at the end of each chapter i have something called reality reset because this is not like philip ross' one continual story. so after the first scenario with lyndon johnson as president ends at the cuban missile crisis, i say, okay, jackie did come to the door, jack wasn't blown up. he got to be president. he was assassinated, johnson took us, you know, through civil rights and a war. it was the '68 and now we pick up at the ambassador hotel. >> host: right. >> guest: and w

and johnson. osha is often attack for imposing unnecessary regulatory burdens on business. how do you view these attacks and how you describe the cost and benefits of what osha does? >> in public economics, we talk a lot about the benefits and cost of any intervention the statistics have already been stated, but i think they have to be restated. john podesta managed it is mentioned that in the beginning of fatalities were around 14,000 year, and in the last year it they were only 4300. injury rate similarly dropping from close to 11 per 100 workers to 3.5 this year. each of those implies is benefits romankow both with organizations like johnson and johnson in terms of productivity and having people's lives preserved and the benefits that confers to businesses, but there is also a huge public benefit that goes beyond that, that obviously is related to the preservation of life and safety and all the benefits to. the huge reduction of life and injuries, so there is not the enormous benefits that we h

hubert humphrey start to give a briefing, and lyndon baines johnson was commander-in-chief. and he was bigger than life. he would pop up every time someone would say something and answer the question. and hubert would just about every to answer, and stop and lyndon johnson would take over. >> that's pretty much the way it was. >> yes, indeed. it was a powerful figure. >> and johnson was talking about the things he was doing to win the war, and you piped up and said like bombing homes? >> he was -- you know, as a congressman listening to him, i was probably more critical than it would've been as a member of the executive branch being asked questions by members of congress. so where you stand kind of depends on where you sit. but he, he was going to appear at what he was trying to figure out what to do in the war in tranninety and he would go through a heavy bombing period and then it would be a bombing pause and he would hope that would cause a positive reaction from the north vietnamese. or the vietcong. and it didn't. and he in explaining what he was doing was asked a quest

gordon and john johnson. let me briefly say, we recognize and honor the volunteer efforts of gordon, for nearly five years has dedicated his energy to beautifying parks. gordon has helped were ever needed as many as three days a week, removing fallen trees, invasive plants, shearing hedges, cleaning up after visitors and any task required of him. gorton is unfailing in his son -- enthusiasm and energy, requiring the most arduous task. each year, we depend on more than 129,000 hours from volunteers. mr. cutts has volunteered more than 700 hours of his time. we thank mr. cutts for his ongoing effort. before we award this fine certificate, i want to read mr. john johnson's, and then we will do that collectively. we recognize and honor volunteer efforts of mr. john johnson, who for nearly three years dedicated his time and energy for improving and beautifying parts of golden gate park, including the rhododendron dell and the botanical garden. he helps staff keep the garden clean. it's in became obvious that he po

in her request for the police, this johnson indicated mr. smith was not known to carry weapons and that she wanted vice from officers on how to deal with mr. smith. she needed assistance based on his behavior. officers brodericks suguitan and samuel fung arrived at the scene within four minutes. officer suguitan and fung were met by the woman outside of her porch. officer suguitan observed at the front door of the residence was open and stepped inside. officer suguitan noticed mr. smith and mr. rios, an additional roommate, were standing face to face having a conversation. both men were approximately 7 feet in front of officer suguitan. officer suguitan looked at both men and stated, how are you doing, we are here to help. mr. smith and mr. rios both faced officer suguitan. immediately, officer suguitan realized mr. smith's and were behind his back and concealed from officer. officer suguitan directed mr. smith to "show me your hands." instantly, officer suguitan here's what he believes is an item quickly being taken out of a sheaf, and with

dwayne johnson, everybody. "fast five" opens april 29th. right back with sammy hagar. [ jane ] here's me. and here's my depression. before i started taking abilify, i was taking an antidepressant alone. most days i could put on a brave face and muddle through. but other days i still struggled with my depression. i was managing, but it always had a way of creeping up on me. i felt stuck. i just couldn't shake my depression. so i talked to my doctor. he said adding abilify to my antidepressant could help with my depression, and that some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. he also told me about a free trial offer from abilify! now i feel more in control of my depression. [ male announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or if you have unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have high fever,

johnson & johnson made it official today, a $21.3 billion buyout offer for orthopedics maker synthes. it is a cash-and-stock deal. j&j calls it a growth purchase, not synergy, meaning don't look for johnson & johnson to find many places to cut costs and it will hurt earnings a little, but it expects the purchases to add sales and operating profit. shares rallied nicely-- up 1% on heavier-than-usual volume. j-n-j has jumped from $58 to over $65 in the past six weeks. to watch tomorrow, there are late rumors be the that power company exelon is in buyout talks with constellation energy. it would be an all stock deem. exelon closing up awe fraction. constellation jumped another 11% from these numbers after the close. and that is tonight's market focus. >> susie: prices for wheat, corn, oil and other commodities have been skyrocketing this year, pushing up the price of groceries and gasoline. and now there are rumblings that speculators could be behind the run-up. as erika miller reports, even president obama is concerned about that. >> reporter: whether it's gasoline, clothing or food, th
