johnson, as we keep the johnson thing going here. and mrs. johnson took over being first lady very suddenly, in the passing of a president kennedy. and mrs. kennedy had done so much in our space, historic preservation of the white house, but mrs. johnson continued that in her own way. these are 45 men and women who have been very unique in their presidents and in their personalities, and also in their legacies, as we see evidenced in these wonderful presidential sites, but tell us about mrs. johnson and her role as first lady and that transition, in a very painful way, and what she did in the white house in our space. >> well, first, i think -- so let me put my microphone on. that would help. thank you, stewart, for that question. and first, i want to acknowledge that a couple of really terrific first lady historians are in the audience with us, too. katie sibley from st. joseph's university. and then nancy smith is in the back of the room, who did oral histories with ladybird johnson and got to know her quite well and has been at the archive

johnson: 35. but as a result for him to fight on, i believed he saved the european continent from absolute arbors of -- barbarism. [applause] fmr. sec. johnson: so, it was a willingness, just look at this. [laughter] mr. brooks: i'm already off script. fmr. sec. johnson: it was a willingness to think for himself and to be brave. today.that mr. brooks: give me an example of something where we need to be brave, follow our instincts to a more noble and. -- noble end. fmr. sec. johnson: i think that we need, when you look at our country, look at the u.k., we have a great choice right now. and we are in the throes of, you may have seen from the news, we are in the throes of deciding exactly how to carry out exit -- out brexit. we did really well, we got through almost 10 minutes without exit -- without brexit. i would just say to all you scholars of the american enterprise institute, this is a critical moment to anybody who cares about free-market, about competition, about global free trade, as you wer

johnson did like -- not like nixon. is a long-standing animosity going back to 1950 in the senate race when nixon ran against douglas where you just trashed. he didn't forget very easily. .. >> in front row tyler, chief of protocol for president johnson, who was married on bess able who was chief of staff for lady bi bird. >> this yearbook tv marks 20 years of bringing country top nounon fiction authors. >> former secretary of state john kerry discusses his life and career. he is interviewed by former congresswoman jane harman. afterwards a wokely interview program with relevant guest

johnson describe that. after president kennedy's assassination and americans looking at the living and wishing for the dead. that really puts into perspective the difficult situation that she wanted to. >> we talk about death and grieving. these are recorded times when a president passes. tomorrow, most of our group will be going up to washington national cathedral which has been the stage and setting for a number of presidential funerals. this saturday senator mccain's funeral will be in that cathedral. eight have died in office, that's significant office, and elements state funerals taking place in the white house. tonight we'll be in east room where kennedy laid in state. and then post president sit we -- and then, we remember mrs. reagan and mrs. bush, what is it about these moments of death and focus on a former president for a living president? one of my probably earliest memory of a living president was four years old sitting in front of a black and white television of the kennedy funeral and being a

johnson: that's good insight. my right-wing feelings were triggered by a sense of outrage at their glutinous hypocrisy. [laughter] mr. brooks: why don't we call it that in the united states? glutinous hypocrisy. with that win elections in america? -- would that win elections in america? fmr. sec. johnson: i think you should give it a go. [laughter] firstwhen was your elected office? as a the student -- student, i think. i tried to get elected in wales in 1997, which was the year of the biggest conservative route back in06, and i fought a big way. and i did not win. i then got in in 2001. mr. brooks: you've been in public life ever since? almost. fmr. sec. johnson: i was mayor of london for a few years. mr. brooks: i heard that. one of the things you are very well known for besides political life is being a best-selling author, which is pretty unusual, particularly if it's a highbrow intellectual work, which your churchill factor most certainly is. churchill you admire great deal. and in your great book, boris writ

humphrey and the stevenson people allegedly the johnson people i have a hunch that johnson may have beenvying for the vice presidency all along. he entered the race one week before the convention as you point out in the book. that johnson was a master of parliamentary procedure and there was an effort to adjourn the convention after the stevenson people packed the galleries. they wanted to postpone the vote until the following evening that key vote was on wednesday but clarence cannon a parliamentarian at the convention first ruled that governor loveless and iowa lung - - in iowa had to be favorite. >> so what is the question crack. >> do you think the kennedy people controlled the convention in 1960 crack. >> i don't know if they controlled it but they had hell of a lot of influence with their people at work. it is one heck of a battle to get the nomination but he knew that because of the stevenson people and roosevelt people but they had the influence of power and the votes jean mccarthy did make a brilliant speech but the kennedy people had the votes and they could get it and johnson

johnson's visit, i'm sorry. but laura bush said to her, lady bird, i want you to know i have this room repainted in the color that would match your beautiful dress. and took her upstairs in the elevator and brought her by her husband's portrait on the state floor and the ground foyer. and mrs. johnson, i'll never forget it, just in her wheelchair, went up just as to embrace her husband. it's one of those things as a staffer in the white house, you realize you are staff, you are not a principal, you work there, but it's one of those incredible opportunities that you get to see firsthand that really reminds you what a blessing it is to have the opportunity to be there and to witness the history. bob: you mentioned this, talking about, stewart, the way in which johnsons took office was through tragedy. and we kind of forgotten until you recited it yesterday. mrs. johnson described that period after president kennedy's association as americans looking at the living and wishing for the dead. boy, that really puts int

putting on a thick southern accent, which nobody ever heard johnson do in washington dc, johnson wailed "what has dick nixon ever done for culpeper?" and the answer was, not a thing. shortly after the democratic national convention, the democratic congress passed a special law that allowed for presidential debate for the first time during the year 1960. the next presidential debate, however, would not take place until 1976. interesting. both nixon and kennedy were eager for the debate. for presidential debates were set. neither party wanted vice presidential debates. which is interesting. the parties were anxious for the debates because the price of television advertising had soared since 1956. also, the debates were generating a much larger audience than one candidates paid speech. eisenhower, however, advised nixon not to debate kennedy, because he said it would only elevate kennedy to the level of the vice president. nixon, however, had been a champion debater in college and was certain he could beat kennedy. after watching kennedy's performance delivering his underwhelming nighttime

linda johnson passed civil rights bill. -- lyndon johnson passed the civil rights bill. [inaudible] a lot of voters don't vote on foreign policy. the korean war wasn't that far back. eisenhower wanted to take credit and he thought nixon should run. the polling data did not show that voters didn't really like the conservative domestic idea of the republicans, but they did eisenhowerct that had been more competent at foreign policy. argue that the only reason kennedy one was that in the end foreign policy did matter that much. wass interesting that there the emphasis on education. polling data showed a lot were confused by kennedy's and it really did not understand what he was trying to say. hand, the democrats did not pound away at medicare, medicare medicare. very short.on is from my reading and many may disagree, but from my reading on the major party tickets, the lodge had the strongest civil rights record and was put on the ticket partly to appeal to african-americans. the question is a two-part. theyr one, do you think enabled the nixon campaign to pick up more like

in the mountain west, kennedy outsmarted johnson. representative stewart udall from arizona stole the state delegation from former senate mcfarland, lbj ally, and impose the rules so all of kennedy.s were for the new mexico state convention gave kennedy unexpected support after kennedy made a personal appearance. kennedy's college friend, byron white, a denver lawyer, captioned the colorado state convention for kennedy. ted kennedy won delegates, too. he got half the delegates in montana by agreeing to ride on a bronco. he stayed on for 10 seconds. [laughter] he also got another half though when he visited the ranch of one delegate in utah, and kennedy, who personally flew airplanes, to reach the ranch he actually had to land the plane in the middle of a road. there was no place to land except the road. expectations,n's kennedy got most of the mountain west delegates. they provided the margin of victory at the national convention. downohnson actually locked the states, kennedy would have been short. election, udall became secretary o

i think boris johnson leadership bid?hink borisjohnson is doing what a lot of us are doing, trying to persuade the prime minister to drop the chequers agreement. at the end of the day, the chequers proposal is not the brexit we promised the british people. it doesn't take control of our borders or our money oi’ control of our borders or our money or laws. it will keep this as a battle state, and we will be a law taker and battle state, and we will be a law takerand a battle state, and we will be a law taker and a captive market for overpriced eu goods going forward and unable to enjoy signing up free trade deals with growing parts of the world economy. that is the main economic benefit of brexit. if the prime minister sticks with her chequers plan, and we think she is, do you think there should be an attempt to oust her as party leader and prime minister? it puts me on this spot because i have publicly stated i have a letter of no confidence on the prime minister. it is not that i have no confidence in the pro minister, i

king would receive telephone calls from president johnson. president lyndon johnson would call into my parents' home, and my mother was the receiver of the calls. the operator, during those years, would announce that she was the operator from the white house, calling on behalf of president johnson to speak with dr. martin luther king jr. king, junior. this room was chosen because it was the most insular room in the house, and those phone calls sometimes lasted for hours. so that is the actual phone in which dr. king would receive the president's phone calls that came into this house. things were very volatile. the country was aware of how volatile things were in selma and in the south. so, dr. king and the president want to sayt regular calls, but they did have a direct connection on a semi-frequent basis to discuss what was going on, what would repair the country, and exactly what both men needed to keep this country on track, to keep violence down. >> then, we've got to come up with the qualifications of voters. that will answer 70% of your

vista johnson, imean, he for her to carry on.i mean, he has always wanted to be leader. —— mrjohnson. but there are those that think his prospects are taking over have gone down, that he has overplayed his hand, in short, and his time is past and already this morning, we heard from the scottish tory leader, ruth davidson castigating mrjohnson, saying how he likes to talk about his time as mayor of london, not so much as foreign secretary, saying she was aware of what mrs may's chequers plan involved so why on earth wasn't borisjohnson plan involved so why on earth wasn't boris johnson aware? similarly, david davis suggested that relationships between him and boris johnson are not so harmonious, and mrjohnson‘s proposals have made good headlines but not such a serious plan. you get a sense of the tensions around boris johnson. plenty of people admire him, thinking he can broaden the tory appeal and there are plenty of people who are natalie lowe him. the sunday times interviews —— who utterly loathe him. the sunday times interview

condolences to the family of secret service agent colin johnson. agent johnson served his country honorably first as a marine then in the secret service. many of you know him, he was larger than life literally. a great friend, father, husband and member of the united states secret service. the men and women in the secret service are among the most honorable and dedicated public servants you find anywhere in the world. colin was among the very best of them. although he was assigned to chief of staff john kelly he was always there to help anyone who needed it. our hearts are broken. agent johnson will be greatly missed. our prayers are with his entire family. with that i will take your questions. john. >> tuck stalk about the topic. day the anonymous op-ed this "the new york times." the president thought it would be a good idea for jeff sessions to look into this. is there anything about what was published about "the new york times" that would warrant a investigation by the department of justice? >> certainly if there is an individual, whether or not

this is not the ideal run—up toa johnson.ng to dominate what happens in birmingham, and she would be desperate to try to talk about domestic issues and get back on the front foot on that after quite a strong conference for labour, where jeremy quite a strong conference for labour, wherejeremy corbyn and john mcdonald kind of made up. yet she cannot escape the shackles of brexit until it is all she can't do. of course, what happens at the party conference can make it even harder when she is about to go back for another really important eu summit. the optics are pretty terrible, because the salzburg summit a few weeks ago, that was meant to be a stepping stone to a breakthrough in brexit, people were saying that she would get warm words from european leaders, go into a conference and they hang with me, please don't judge me, i am they hang with me, please don't judge me, lam making progress, and just ignore boris johnson, judge me, lam making progress, and just ignore borisjohnson, nobody really cares what he says. but that did

we will end the sequence on boris johnson, which has dominated the papers.x—tory aide link to boris johnson. two blondes together. do not make a right! was previously a special adviser to john whittingdale, worked with zac goldsmith and worked at city hall with boris when he was mayor. a professional person, i have worked with her. she now finds herself on the front pages and has treated something about having the thickest skins of all mammals. like eric ca nto na skins of all mammals. like eric ca ntona and he skins of all mammals. like eric cantona and he said the seagulls will follow the trawlers. the sunday telegraph, this is interesting. the idea of giving prisoners phones in their prison cells, the idea to con them down? i thought that is ridiculous when i first heard it. that they would make more and more drug deals but when you read the detail, it is only set preagreed numbers they can phone and also and the justice secretary numbers they can phone and also and thejustice secretary is arguing, which i understand, that keeping in touch with family red

when this andrew johnson get impeached? >> the problem began right away with the inaccuracy shown, it entered johnson before lincoln was going to get the famous second inaugural in his speech was really a terrible speech. he started saying how he came for the people and they looked out and he thought a win against them. since ikea too much to drink and people are putting their hand. at turns out she had some illness oric medicine. lincoln had just worried from that moment on. the trouble sort of began producing and that it clear that even though he's been the governor of tennessee >> that is lincoln's second natural. doris kearns goodwin talks about the four months betweenen withington's first election and disperse the mackerel and mark and what have been in the country and not a solid leadership >> i just was calling to see if mrs. goodwin would be interested in george washington because of the great leadership he showed found in this country to of independence in hearing before the constitution convention and during the c

i would like to ask her about the impeachment of andrew johnson. i was a history major in college, but i didn't read much about his impeachment. i was just curious if she could enlighten me regarding that situation. >> guest: well, i think what the context for the impeachment was is that there was a big split in the cabinet and the country between the radicals and the more conservatives into how to handle the south. lincoln had hoped before he died that there'd be a sort of gentleness toward the south, that we should allow people to come in and come back into the union so long as the rights of the freed blacks were respected. and his war secretary, edwin stanton, was on radical side. he loved lincoln, but he was probably willing to push the south more to give more possibilities to the blacks and make sure that the southerners didn't override them. so he was actually fired from the cabinet. and there was a tenure of office act that supposedly didn't allow you to do that. it was a big fight between congress and the presidency over the firing of this

i just wanted to say a word about milicent johnson. while she's new to the commission, i do think that she does bring a fresh perspective and represents different viewpoints in terms of generational, perhaps, and adds a diversity to the commission. i think she understands that people are behind planning and land use, and i think she's generally respectful to the neighborhoods. thanks. >> good afternoon. ossie roman with neighborhood council. i just want to support commissioner johnson as the only my lenni on on on only milennial on the commission. we're very supportive. we welcome the fact that we have someone that is going to be representing that generation, and we'll look forward to working with her. thank you. >> hello again. anastasia yanaopolous, district 8 resident in support of commissioner johnson for reappointment. she's been on the commission a short while, and she's a breath of fresh air. she brings a wealth of experience with the background she's had, dealing with groups, community organizing, and i feel that she's an asset

oras boris johnson. the bicycle guy. well known not only did this bicycle guy comment make headlines but also cause the u.k. delegation to chuckle as well as brought a smile to theresa may's face now one of the reasons potentially that the kenyan president would have a bone to pick with boris johnson could be the comments he had made in the past among them saying things such as barack obama being described as according to johnson as part kenyan with an ancestral dislike of the british empire as well as some other offensive comments such as watermelons but when it comes to theresa may of course the reason she would rejoice in a moment like this potentially is some of the issues she has herself with boris johnson not only did he quite recently resigned u.k. foreign secretary because of disagreements over her stance on bracks it but also because of the political rivalry going on between johnson and may of course we have to remember that boris johnson potentially becoming the next conservative party leader has been the talk

supporters of boris johnson have defended him.hink boris says it as he sees it and i think it's how a lot of people see it but very few dare to call it. he speaks truth to power and are not surprised they resent that and there's a backlash. boris johnson's star status in the party has been based on his ability to appeal to voters. the real test will be not how his comments are received in westminster, but beyond. the trade unions have said they will back the campaign for a referendum on the final brexit deal, if the government fails to secure an agreement that protects jobs and the economy. the tuc general secretary, frances o'grady, warned that crashing out of the eu without a deal would be an "absolute disaster" for workers. today, i'm giving the prime minister fair warning. i am serving notice that if her deal doesn't deliver for working people, if it doesn't protectjobs, rights at work and peace in northern ireland, then the tuc will throw our weight behind the call for a vote on the terms of the deal. our politicial correspon

johnson and rickie fowler. how about francesco molinari ? he johnson and rickie fowler. ryder cup match coming in. he is on the brink of winning a third alongside tommy fleetwood. superb stuff from him. very close there. jordan spieth doing his bit alongsidejustin thomas, they are up against ian poulter and jon rahm. spieth anne thomas are up. still a few holes to play. europe will be delighted with the way things have gone so far, three up in those four matches. that could see further points on the leaderboard for europe. they are 5—3 up, 14.5 points is the important targets going into this afternoon. the 12 singles matches to come on the final day on sunday. i suppose it must be a rearguard action for the usa, if the unthinkable happened and they lost all four of these four balls matches going into the foursomes, you are talking 9—3. considering what happened in 2012 in medinah, it would be an extraordinary comeback in europe where they haven't won since 1990s levered up the signs at the moment of the americans don't have that in them to do that. they are struggling to

does get to the port that boris johnson there you go.get to the port that borisjohnson almost has to go for it? —— the point. that borisjohnson almost has to go for it? -- the point. i think so, otherwise everything he has put forward , otherwise everything he has put forward, and when he resigned recently, he spent so long thinking about, sophie doesn't at this point, people will feel he has bottled it so people will feel he has bottled it so he has got himself caught in his own momentum and feels he has to keep pushing forward the challenge —— so keep pushing forward the challenge —— so if he doesn't at this point. theresa may is incredibly weak so everything is on his side in many ways. continuing the theme. voters in tory marginal say chequers is bad for britain. exclusive survey, 44 the most marginal tory constituencies, and the voters in those constituencies do not like the chequers deal and two thirds of them are dissatisfied with the way the prime minister is handling brexit and so this goes to the very heart of this electoral ch

we know that boris johnson inevitable, if you're conservative. in his bbc interview earlier today, but four times he refused to call out whether he will challenge theresa may. we know that brexit will feature very heavily, probably on the margins of the mainstays, probably trying to sanitize the debate in the main hall but i think it will be the only issue, it is a matter of obsession for many tories anyway to exclusion of anything else. and you now have this kind of irritant of a media scale, a kind of bursting boil of borisjohnson scale, a kind of bursting boil of boris johnson who's scale, a kind of bursting boil of borisjohnson who's doing everything he can to stop the prime ministers record to deal. david gauke, not a man known for going over the top, having a real attack on the ideas that boris johnson having a real attack on the ideas that borisjohnson has come up with for this canada style deal. david gauke is not a household name by any means, he is thejustice gauke is not a household name by any means, he is the justice secretary and of
