johnson gara johnson graduated 17th. he wrote a long letter and all this kind of 19th century stuff. from then on the two of them simply never were compatible. they were not partners. they were on the same side but barely allies. davis might have been realized as long as he won battles. it seemed to me that he was unwilling to fight one. they all sountd like excuses and grew more labored every day. and johnston's enemies and there were many includiing braxton brg insisting that johnson actually had -- if you took them and added them up he has 150,000 men out there. he has absolutely no excuse not to be driving him back to ohio. the men in the ranks brag insisted and brag commanded that army before. on july 17th, 1864 he sent a telegram ordering him to turn his army over to bellhood. how do we assess joe johnson? he himself argued both at the time in a self-serving mem wore it was a carefully calculated to use up his army by beating his head against these defensive lines to extend his own lines of communication. sherman w

yeah johnson i mean we know that johnson is on record as saying he doesn't believe that lee harvey oswald acted alone he doesn't believe the shots came from behind a lot of things that johnson himself has questioned over the years as have robert kennedy and jackie kennedy and a lot of others. but i never thought that there was any possible johnson connection till after one of her and my screenings of untold history were meeting with officials from the newseum and they and they said that the next week there was going to be a scandal breaking out about johnson and it was going to happen the week after after the assassination and it was going to mean that johnson would be very likely off the ticket in nineteen sixty four when kennedy ran for reelection so that's that that seems to be very dubious and worth looking into and i did look into it and there were several major scandals brewing around lyndon johnson that were going to come out does that mean that johnson was behind the assassination no of course not i would never say that i don't have any evidence to suggest that but we know that jo

johnson: north vietnam has responded. their statement this week was in the hanoi newspaper in response to my statements from the enterprise is very clear and compelling, and i think it should answer to any person in this country who has ever felt that stopping the bombings alone would bring us to the negotiating table. hanoi made it very clear in response that their position, in effect, was the same as it has always been, and the same as it was enunciated in ho chi minh's letter to me, which ho chi minh made public. there are some hopeful people and some naive people in this country, and there are some political people. but anyone that really wants to know what the position of north vietnam is should read what the spokesman of north vietnam said. that is best summarized in mr. ho chi minh's letter to the president that he made public, on the record, that he has never changed. all these hopes and dreams and idealistic people that go around to mislead and confuse, they weaken our position. guest: do you have any evidence th

i disagree, not very well wife. —— boris johnson.oris johnson. i disagree, ithink not very well wife. —— boris johnson. i disagree, i think michael gove is intimidatingly intelligent. this was in key a class fudge. a year ago he said borisjohnson could not hold the position. now he is saying we should not deflect. he is arming himself firmly on the same side of the rubicon as boris johnson. he is thinking about brexit and wants to keep the macro if that means being disingenuous, so be it. —— keep the cartel pretty firm. . these people are cabinet ministers. they either don't understand the brief, the government's position, or write deliberately misrepresenting it. --. write deliberately misrepresenting it. why? write deliberately misrepresenting it. --. why? michael gove is coming in. again, attempting to create confusion, uncertainty, about the british government's official position, that if she is innocent she should be released to bite there isa she should be released to bite there is a chance the foreign secretary could step in.

johnson received word it was sonar. even he said they could be firing at wales for all we know -- whales for all we know, that he purposely misconstrued the event. it was just as controversial in hanoi. after it took place there was an investigation headed by ho chi minh about who precisely allowed or give the order to the captain, the man on the spot the fire on the u.s. vessel. even though everyone who was a part of the committee knew the equivalent of william general was, the not in hanoi on august 2, 1964. the general secretary gave the order. by ho chi minh brought in the man and said who give you the go-ahead? he just said some very high up in the politburo. he was not at all feeling under attack. the reason ho chi minh had once the investigation was the chinese were demanding answers. they also did not think this was a very wise move. at this point the younger general said no matter what we do, the imperials will strike. we must strike first. it was basically reaffirming his boss. >> that was a quick ramp up of u

it had to do with lyndon johnson.yndon johnson basically ruined the lives of two justices, goldberg and ortas. lyndon johnson wanted desperately to appoint abe fortas to the court. can i mention this just briefly? why? goldberg was appointed and serves for less than three years. he was appointed by jfk to succeed felix frankfurter. in 1948, lyndon johnson had a safe seat in congress in texas. he ran for the senate. in the election, there were about 1,560,000 votes cast. he eventually was determined to win it by 87 votes. had he lost that election, none of us would have heard of lyndon johnson. it was his make-or-break election. it was so close that a blue-ribbon commission of attorneys in washington was called upon to adjudicate it. it was headed by abe ortas. he went to the supreme court, which ruled after fortas's advocacy for johnson by 87 votes. in fact, lyndon johnson used always be called later on "landslide lyndon" because of that. fortas remained his closest political advisor throughout johnson's tenure as maj

boris johnson this week has tried to...i boris johnson this week has tried to...ologised but he hasn't apologised, he's apologised if people misunderstood what he said but if you look at what he said, it is pretty clear. he misspoke. he was taken out of context. made maybe he misremembered what he was briefed or maybe he was badly briefed —— maybe. he landed her in it. if it turns out she has her in it. if it turns out she has her centres increased then his position i think becomes untenable —— hersentence. position i think becomes untenable -- her sentence. we should point out, everything you said i com pletely out, everything you said i completely agree with, but we should point out that the treatment of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe is appalling by iran. to separate her from her little girl, who barely speaks english any more now, who is with her maternal grandparents, and the fact that she was hooded at some point. of course she would be very depressed, she already 18 months into this. what would be very serious is if her sentence is indeed lengthened as a result

boris johnson is one mess.aying should be out of people are saying should be out of the cabinet. that feels like a last—ditch effort by borisjohnson, yet that feels like a last—ditch effort by boris johnson, yet again with michael gold alongside, to put his mark on the race he seems to have been losing because every single time he opens his mouth he puts his owi'i time he opens his mouth he puts his own foot in it. they remind me of the political equivalent of the tamworth two. they have broken through the fence and running crazily. of course it was michael gove who famously stabs boris johnson in the back, or the front. these two ultimately rub each other the wrong way and do not get on yet how all the back together again and yet how prescient, i think, because i think it gives us some sense of how this effort to undermine theresa may will go. apart from anything else, there is nobody ready tojump in and take her place and philip hammond, when we speak of him having insufficient energy, that isjust personal be

and i was more pressure on boris johnson citizen in iran. today on the same programme from the mayor of london? absolutely. we have already had todayjeremy corbyn, the labour leader, saying for the first time that it was time for borisjohnson to go, calling his comments on this issue the latest example of his serial bungling. those comments were underlined on the andrew marr programme by labour's londoner, sadiq khan. he's offended the libyans in relation to what he said about sirte and dead bodies. he's offended the sikhs with what he said about whiskey tariffs in the gurdwara. he has got to go. he is a foreign secretary, whose job is diplomacy and representing the best interests of our country. if theresa may was a strong prime minister, she would have sacked him a long time ago. there are questions about why she appointed him in the first place. she did, but surely he must have done enough to go. that was labour's london mayor, sadiq khan. michael gove was also on that programme, and he said that actually, there is a mistake here. we shou

the latter worries senators ron johnson and steve daines.oth want bigger tax cuts for so called pass-through entities. they can be small businesses or larger firms with many employees, but all pay taxes through the individual tax rate, not the corporate rate. and now the senate bill allows pass-throughs to deduct 17.4% from the taxable income. there's a problem will. it means the highest earners pay more than the propose the 20% corporate rate. senator johnson says this favors corporations over small business. he wants to increase. the deficit is a difference between how much the government takes in and how much it spends, the current senate bill adds $1.4 trillion to the deficit over ten years. the gop says economic growth will eventually pay for all this. but senator bob corker among others worries that may not be the case. he wants to include a provision to raise taxes it revenue falls short. so far independent estimates show this bill does not hit the gop target growth. >>> the latest insensitive remark sup remark coming from president t

since then, boris johnson has sought to clarify his comments.anian government to raise her case and lobby for her to be released early. but the pressure is growing on him. today we have had strident comments from jeremy corbyn, saying it is time for borisjohnson to go, calling him an embarrassment as a foreign secretary. we have also had the labour london mayor, sadiq khan, talking to andrew marr this morning, repeating that call. he has offended the libyans by referring to their bodies. he has offended the six with what he said about whiskey tariffs in the gurdwara. he has got to go. he is a foreign secretary, whose job is diplomacy and representing the best interests of our country. if theresa may was a strong power minister, she would have sacked him a long time ago. there are questions about why she appointed him in the first place. 0n the same programme, borisjohnson —— michael gove was asked about boris johnson's future as well? yes, he was on the programme tutor and at a new environment watchdog which is being launched ahead of brexit to

corker: senator johnson. sen. johnson: let me thank both secretaries for their service to the country. let me pick up on the point of ground troops. secretary mattis, in your testimony you talked about a 16-year global conflict. totally different than anything we've witnessed in the past. i remember when we had this discussion a couple years ago. with the advent of isis. trying to rewrite a new authorization of use for military force. there's a discussion about limiting ground troops. no ground troops. secretary tillerson, i think you said in your testimony, you talked about the caliphate is basically ended, is it not? or really darn close? sec. tillerson: we've liberated a large amount of area in iraq and syria but that fight is not over yet. sen. johnson: secretary mattis, is there any way we could have done what we've done so far at the caliphate without ground troops? mr. mattis: i don't believe so, senator. sen. johnson: yet two years ago we were debating in this committee replacing the authorization for use

each votes, ron johnson, they only have one more to lose.esident had a talk with ron johnson and maybe the white house could move towards him. -- it does seem like there was a conversation like that, the pass-through for small businesses in characterizing this, there needs to be a change smallport those who own businesses and we should only have a bill that delivers big tax breaks for multinationals, which we will see out of this bill. ron johnson is hitting also been a democrat have been hammering on. we will also look at individual tax rates, whether they deliver on the process of cutting tax rates for everyone. time, something like repealing the individual mandate, could this mean a vote from him? fan.nator paul, no me that weesting to the point, when we look at the complexity of overhauling the tax cut and now calling and what could be a fundamental overhaul of health care, it is something that, , thatforward weeks after is something that will be -- really trying to pick apart. >> it has been 30 years since we overhauled tax halls. is an

all of this provoked after mr johnson appeared before the foreign affa i rs johnson appeared before thes select committee on wednesday last week. it was here he made those remarks suggesting in many people's eyes he was undercutting the defence argument of zaghari—ratcliffe that she was on holiday and was actually there to traina holiday and was actually there to train a journalist. listen to this. if you look at what mrs zaghari—ratcliffe if you look at what mrs zaghari— ratcliffe was if you look at what mrs zaghari—ratcliffe was doing, she was simply teaching people journalism, asi simply teaching people journalism, as i understand... this incorrect assessment by mrjohnson is the latest in a series of episodes where he has used language which has gotten he has used language which has gotte n into he has used language which has gotten into difficulty and led to criticism of his role as foreign secretary. if you think back to the anger he caused the libyan government after he talked to the tory party conference about clearing dead bodies away so it could become a tourist resort and simi

the johnson administration did not know what to do. about itissed and he wanted both the department of justice and the selective service to nail these people. the department of justice decided what they were going to do was that they were going to do a show trial. toch, as we know, turned out backfire fantastically because there were so many people that signed the resist calls and so on. they lost legally. also the general, taking his cues from johnson and wanted to declare everyone to link went wherecreated a situation he violated all his own rules. that led to a bunch of supreme court cases that made a lot of draft resisters cases not successful. system,ctive service and this is something a lot of people do not know, i certainly do not know it. last night at dinner, there were four us off the table, all of us were draft resisters grade only one of us went to prison. that is because the draft system was overwhelmed. the justice department was overwhelmed -- there were 200,000 guys that were referred by the selective service to the jus

certainly with ron johnson.rker, but he also had a side meeting our sunlen serfaty reported with senator susan collins. the two of them aren't exactly buddy-buddy, but they talked about ways she could get to yes. obviously one of her big issues is health care. so the fact that he really seemed to play an aggressive role today and to this point it was positive, i think is very noteworthy. >> ladies, stay with me. abby, i want to come to you but we're literally seconds away from hearing from the president. just to explain to everyone watching, the press pool was in the room with the president as the president sat there in the roosevelt room and taped his remarks. so we're about to roll this tape that's coming at any moment. we're told he did address not only this intercontinental ballistic missile that was launched by north korea, and, of course, we know the president was in the region just recently, but he also addressed this luncheon. actually, let's just listen for ourselves. president trump. >> thank you very

so i was no big fan of lyndon johnson.matured and i spent time in politics, i got to understand and appreciate what he was able to accomplish, and how effective he was legislatively. >> lbj served as vice president in the kennedy administration. he became the nation's chief executive in a tumultuous time, after kennedy was assassinated on a visit to dallas, texas, in 1963. rob reiner's film focuses on a coressed time period. >> we have selected a very small sliver of time, from the time kennedy lands at love field in dallas to the time johnson gives his famous speech about civil rights in a joint session of congress. in that two weeks, he has to assume the presidency and has to take on the burden of trying to succeed kennedy, who was loved, and who he felt he could never live up to. >> it's quite a flattering portraitjohnson, but how balanced is it? there is no information about what happened later on in his presidency when he escalated the war in vietnam and came in for a lot of criticism. >> you are rightif he didn't kno

cnn has learned that human remains of sergeant la david johnson have been discovered in niger. i want to get right to the key point here, we also can tell you his family has been briefed by the u.s. military on this development. his family is aware of everything that we are able to say about this. they've had a briefing from military investigators. these are human remains of sergeant johnson that were discovered in early november when military and fbi investigators went to niger, went to the scene where the ambush took place, where four u.s. servicemen were killed. at that time, they recovered human remains and they have now identified them through armed forces medical examiners as being remains that do belong to sergeant johnson. he is the young man whose body was missing and not recovered for 48 hours after the ambush took place. what we don't know publicly is whether any of these remains now will provide additional clues to investigators on how sergeant johnson died and what happened to his body during that 48 hours he was missing before the body was recovered, reportedly by

again, he spoke with senator johnson. he supports the priorities. he wants to work with members of the senate to bring them together to make sure that we pass historic tax cuts and tax reform. >> did you offer senator johnson anything? >> no. he did encourage him to get on board. thanks so much, guys. we'll be around the rest of the afternoon. >> neil: there you go. the take-away from this press conference is that roy moore is not only staying in the race but the white house are hands off on the feat of roy moore's campaign. he says this will rest in the hands of voters in alabama. welcome. i'm neil cavuto. you're watching "your world" and what a busy day it's been. of course, almost lost today was the fact that the house wept ahead and approved a historic tax cut. the likes of which we have not seen in a generation. it's not over. the battle goes to the senate. we're going to be talking to the man that orchestrated this shortly, the house ways and means chief, kevin brady and mike emanuel on how this went down in the house. michael? >> good afterno

what happened to ladavid johnson? sergeant ladavid johnson.he newspaper, "the washington post," "miami herald" and i guess all the others, it appears as if he was executed. he was executed. did the military do that? did he walk a mile? did they carry him a mile? did he run a mile? was he in a car? how did he get a mile from the battlefield? who tied his hands in front of him? who bounded him like that? we are just so distraught and his widow is just a wreck. she was already grieving about the condition of a body in a way this they would not let him view her. her goal was to have an open casket funeral, true military funeral. she could not have it. so now this comes up. and she goes back through the same grief and trauma she was trying to rid herself of all this time. >> and the fact that when her husband was found two days after he was not with the other part of the four that were -- three of which were rescued, on top of all that, to have this insensitive call from the president really muddied up by him saying to her about him, he knew what h

but, again, i -- after criticizing johnson, i'll say i don't want to criticize johnson. [ laughter ] too late. anyway. that -- it would be one -- it would be one particular instance or incident that i think deserves a little more scorn than it's received in history. >> well, there were several other along the same vein, of course. you also have to consider what the soldiers felt about all of these guys. and which ones they enjoyed or hated or loved so much. i think we've exhausted that topic. the rest of these i just leave open to the panelists, if they want to answer or not. and we'll get your opinions on these things. this one i found kind of interesting. it's a speculation, really. but which one of the generals mentioned in our seminar this weekend would have risen to high rank in today's army? anybody want to tackle that one? we've got several guys here that are west point graduates. and one guy who wasn't. anybody? no comment. okay. we'll move on. all right. this one is for john, especially. but others can elaborate. if they wish. could you elaborate on your opinion of phillip k

it had to do with lyndon johnson. lyndon johnson basically ruined justices,of two goldberg and fortas. goldberg was appointed and serves for less than three years . he was appointed by jfk to succeed felix frankfurter. in 1948, lyndon johnson had a safe seat in texas. he ran for the senate. in the election, there were about 560,000 votes passed. he was determined to win it by 87 votes. it was so close that a blue-ribbon commission of wasrneys in washington called upon to adjudicate it. it was headed by abe fortas. abbasid -- after his forcacy, it was called johnson by 87 points. his primaryned political advisor. johnson always wanted to reward fortas for what he did. there was a so-called jewish seat on the court. it had to persuade goldberg to resign -- he had to persuade goldberg to resign. no one resigns after two and a half years. goldberg was in good health until the last year. he would have been on the court for 28 years. he may have succeeded her awareness chief justice. everyone close to him from his family, f

and finally, when boris johnson not seen for 19 months now.an, iwant finally, when borisjohnson goes to iran, i want to meet my constituent, who is injail, face—to—face. 0ther british diplomats have gone to iran, have been to the same prison that nazanin is, and yet have not met with her. if borisjohnson goes to iran, he needs to meet with nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe face—to—face. those are the demands that richard andi those are the demands that richard and i are both making our foreign secretary. and tulip siddiq, you spoke to richard yesterday, what is his state of mind at the moment? richard is trying to stay calm under very distressing circumstances. his wife called him after the foreign secretary made the remark that he did, sobbing down the phone. he had been hauled into court after boris johnson said that she was training journalss. she fell to the ground, it was an unscheduled court hearing. she thought she was coming home before christmas. this is a woman who has been separated from her family for so long, an iranian state tv, they sho

two of those killed, sergeants johnson and -- the two sar jentsdzs johnson -- sergeants johnson were part of a 12-man patrol whose mission was not clear. we know they are trained occupation special lists and biological speck lists were outside combat roads. the department of defense described the mission of over 645 personnel in niger as advise and assist, but none of the varying accounts of what took place in early october seemed to support that seemingly benign summary of what occurred. frustration over this lack of understanding of the mission and the events that transpired are shared by everyone. from secretary mattis to all the members here. i can't imagine what the service members on duty and their families must be feeling. we have seen the strain that an ever expanding operational commitment is having on our military from our service members relying upon foreign countries or contractors to provide critical air support when a serviceman is stranded on the battlefield for over a day or for our war ships whose schedules have been so strained that their crews are unable to safely

johnson announced he would seek the republican presidential nomination in 1924.ly progressi johnson announced he would seek the republican presidential nomination in 1924. johnson was already an ar ch enemy of hoover. with hoover's assistance and blessing, his california faction swung into action and behalf of coolidge. when the votes were counted in the 1924 california primary, coolidge had administered a humiliating defeat to johnson there by clearing the hurdle to the nomination. more gratifying to hoover, his well organized supporters secured over johnson in the california republican party and remember the california was hoover's political home in that period. he was a resident at stanfordas quest for the white house. he became his running mate in 1924. at the republican national convention after abortive efforts to nominate two other men pr vice preside men for vice president bwho sai they weren't interested. it was too late. throughout the convention many party leaders had resented the tactless ways of butler and now on the decisive ballot they took their revenge. furious a bu

more what priti patel or borisjohnson need to do frankly nobody knows more what priti patel or boris johnson need to do to be sacked. this week has been extraordinary. she has scheduled meetings without telling the foreign office or the ambassador in israel, or indeed the prime minister has gone leaving her in the dark when she met netanyahu last week. it extraordinary that this has happened, and she lied about it initially to the papers before finally admitting that she has had these meetings. and now we discover that a lobbyist was also present in these meetings. the point i would like to make is that both the blunders of patel and borisjohnson, ifi blunders of patel and borisjohnson, if i may bring him into the equation, are to do with the middle east at a time when the region is on the brink of a showdown perhaps between saudi arabia and iran is not an outright war. as you can find out from the financial times story here. let me get to that a little bit later if i may because i want to stay with the conservative party for a moment because inside the times, you brought them together, prit
