add to the film, tennessee johnson. the johnson always in the focus is a lot on joe johnson. johnson is played by heflin who won an oscar. they acknowledged that they require taking certain liberties. even though johnson didn't appear in the trial he comes in and gives the extent. they produce trauma by pinning johnson against stevens who is perfectly casted after playing it's a wonderful life. that wrote a screenplay. these are the three different works. they have lots of similarities. kennedy, was at stake the balance of government. the independence of the executive office has its coordinated branch of the government was on trial. dixon agrees with that. is the chapter called the supreme test. he says almost exactly same as kennedy. the part of the majority of congress can move by the supreme court the ability to city because constitutions would be at an end. the real supreme question was will the u.s. remain a white republic? in the film, it wants to rally support by stressing national unity. he escapes to's tennessee. he learns how to read and write and becomes a spokesma

but johnson and johnson. did not cause the opioid abuse crisis here in oklahoma. or anywhere in this country. for thousands of more claimants around the united states disagree. well for more on this story let's bring in court on wall street johnson and johnson is paying over half a $1000000000.00 and this is tory case shares of the company ended the day up is there no fear that the verdict could damage the company's reputation for years to come the stock of johnson and johnson actually was the biggest winner in the dow jones industrial average year on tuesday well if you look at it from the wall street perspective often the market reacts of positive ones you have a price tag you can play around with and then johnson and johnson in general is not necessarily known for having the greatest exposure to the. oil crisis in the united states if it will be a problem for the image remains to be seen but the market reaction was pretty clear on this topic now there are $1500.00 similar cases still pending at an ohio judge how are they likely to go ahead and what are drug com

and johnson will pay $500000000.00 in each of those cases then actually johnson and johnson is probably going to appeal the verdict what is likely is that we might see a settlement in one way or the other talking about them settlements there were reports here on tuesday that put you farmers that we also heard about earlier is trying to settle their case for up to $12000000000.00 so the crisis in the us it's a huge problem and now we would see more and more companies facing legal challenges companies like johnson and johnson are claiming that they have done nothing. they were not breaking the law so that's what the pharmaceutical company johnson and johnson to say and scored in new york thank you. and from pharmaceuticals to tech fair phone is a minnow on the smartphone market industry giant apple sells more i phones in a day than fair phone has managed in the past 6 years now the less the dutch company is hanging in there and is convinced that sustainability is finally becoming an issue with mainstream consumers you can use it to take nice photos check your emails and of course make a p

the johnson -- obviously the focus is not on ross it's on johnson. in fact ross doesn't even appear. and johnson is played by van heflin who won an oscar. and the film acknowledges that the medium requires taking liberties. for instance, even though johnson did appear at his own trial in the film he comes in and gives a stirring defense. the film produces drama by pitting johnson against stephens who is played in a wheelchair by lionle barrymore who is perfectly cast after playing the villain in it's a wonderful line. and the screen play is written by a man who wrote for frankenstein who is good at creating monsters. these are the works. they have lots of similarities but different stakes they have in portrayals. for kennedy what was at stake was the checks and balances of government. the independence of the executive office as in coordinate branch of government was on trial. dixon agrees with that. he has -- this is a chapter called the supreme test. he says almost exactly the same as kennedy. if a partisan majority in congress could remove the exec

then describing johnson's return. great as was his personal triumph, the triumph of his policy was more significant. one by one the africanized rotten boroughs, despite support of the federal administration in the u.s. army, have fallen or are falling. soon no relic will remain of that hybrid empire. just to give you a sense how long this view of reconstruction lasted, in 1960 dewitt's book was praised by one of -- advisors in falling away, it is something of a classic. an excellent narrative account that is not likely to be redoing in some time to come if indeed ever. so that was the view of reconstruction in the 60s. now, not only was there agreement about the politics of reconstruction but also about the politics of impeachment which was all three portray charges against johnson as politically motivated with no legal basis. but what was the legal basis of the impeachment? it was something known as the tenure of office act. congress was trying to restrict johnson's powers as much as they could and part of the tenure

amy: johnson & johnson has vowed to appeal the ruling. we'll have more on this story after headlines with mother jones reporter julia lurie. brazil is rejecting a pledge by g7 nations to provide $22 million to help combat the raging amazon wildfires. on monday, brazil's far-right president jair bolsonaro accused french president emmanuel macron and other g7 world leaders of treating brazil like a colony or no-man's land. bolsonaro's chief-of-staff suggested the funds could be used for reforesting in europe instead. he also said macron had no place intervening after he failed to prevent a destructive fire earlier this year that burned down a large part of notre dame cathedral in paris. many have called out the g7 for not putting nearly enough resources towards the mounting economic -- the mounting disaster, with some noting that $1 billion was raised within just two days of the notre dame cathedral fire. the dispute between esidents bolsonaro and macron took a personal turn after bolsonaro commented on an image posted by a supporter on fac

johnson vetoes it. this came as a shock to many of the republicans. the author of the freedmen's bureau bill was a moderate. the definition of a moderate republican. he specifically has written the bill try to keep it as conservative as possible to bring on more conservative republicans to support it and so johnson would sign it. got,s surprised that it that it was vetoed along with many other republicans. republicans had to go back to rewrite the bill, make it even more conservative so we could get enough votes to override johnson's veto. it into limiting the effectiveness of the freedmen's bureau. this set a pattern going on into the 1866. one of those patterns is johnson's interaction with congress and vetoes. some of you may notice formatting, this comes from the old faithful wikipedia. i don't suggest you always trust them. good sources of information. they are useful for getting charts and graphs. vetoes frommmary of george washington through andrew johnson. here is the number of vetoes, the total

johnson vetoes it. he explains -- his words, he said, entirely disregarding the wishes of the people of the district of columbia, congress has deemed it expedient to pass the measure. it becomes the duty of the executive standing between the legislation of the one and the will of the other to determine whether he should approve a bill and aid in placing a law on the folks of the nation a law against which the people for whom it is to apply solemnly and with unanimity protested. or whether he should return it with his objections and hope on reconsideration congress, acting as representative of the seat of government, would regulate the willfuul question. they seem best interested in their conditions. they say local white people in washington, d.c., don't want african americans voting. congress should be responsive to them. it is his job to step in because congress is not listening to local concerns. this sounds fairly reasonable, right? except remember johnson himself says, national historic site says he

party and the wind in being very savvy as he was just using johnson because johnson is this uprightunionist southern war democrats in a different party very committed to the prosecution of the war. so i don't know what you think about the right extent they were behind. >> it's very murky. >> i happen to believe he had his finger on the scale. back then became vice president was pretty unimportant. >> accept from what i've understood, the vice president, great name, brought nothing except that's named to the ticket. the republicans have to find support in the south and before the war is over, they want to keep the border states happy. it's a smart move whoever was behind the. is greatly underestimated the number of the unionists. and another miscalculation, lincoln didn't think he was going to die. when i was in graduate school, they wrote a great book which began that generations process of tearing johnson off his pedestal. just to show you how elevated it has become as you well know, john f. kennedy's profiles which he didn't actually write that he got the pulitzer prize for it any

instead johnson boggled. after noting that historians have dismissed charges as flimsy and false, donald concludes that perhaps before the history itself andrew johnson must be impeached with a graver charge that through plolitical ineptitude he threw away a magnificent opportunity. i'm going to start drawing towards my conclusion. one of the points that i have been trying to make is, while the dismissal of political pa partisan didn't originate with reconstruction, it is, i think, not an accident that the law vs. politics binary arose during reconstruction, which was condemned as partisan. to be sure in the post trump world, more and more scholars are acknowledging the legitimacy of some political factors. what does their failure to make a case for johnson's conviction tell us about reconstruction status in the national memory. meacham helps us answer that question in the middle of his essay. he makes the speculation. the fate of reconstruction hinged on whether sumner's political argument would meet the def

johnson had some good attorneys. 's attorneys responded to the charge by saying stanton did not even come under the act, why? he was appointed by lincoln, johnson. and further, even if he did come under the act, the only reason that johnson was doing this was to get this report to rule the constitution constitutionality of the act. that's a crucial question, any president defy a law in order to get a constitutional ruling? how is the legal issue represented? dixon avoids it. he highlights instead conspiracy theories, and there was one, johnson was helping john wilkes booth. and sensationalism, such as the involvement of a teenage sculptor. the other two actually do deal with the legal issue. although the film mistakenly says the tenure of office act for the dismissal of the cabinet men are appointed by lincoln, that's all right. they portray the tenure of office act, more or less accurately. more or less. delighting in knowing it was said to be unconstitutional in 1926 which is true, they fail to mention that brandei

lyndon johnson does. that is one of the differences between -- that takes place in the transition between jfk and lbj. by 1964, the rhetoric changes. you don't get that from jfk that much. on the tapes. on the other hand, there are these moments, publicly, where war to say, it is their win. we can help them, we can assist them. he also says i think it would be a mistake to withdraw. that is not to mean that he does not think that we have to stay there until we win. the question of what is his actual posture towards vietnam, and where would he have been later on -- my personal sense is that he would have tried to stay in vietnam and to have supported some portion of the south vietnam to maintain sovereignty below the 17th parallel. that is what it is all about for him. what that looks like, what roger helton was pursuing, whether it , there isore sabotage a good chance it would have as well. i think there is skepticism about american prospects pushing on to victory. i think that was there throughout. >> fo

it was lyndon johnson. johnson would have breakfast with him. i said to a man named james rowe who was a friend of johnson. i said what made this different for franklin roosevelt he said, roosevelt was a political genius. almost no one understood what he was talking about. lyndon johnson understood at all from the first minute and roosevelt saw that. it was just two geniuses. and roosevelt once said to dickies, he said if i had gone to west texas, i might have turned out like that too. yes sir. >> when you're doing interviews, people are aware they're talking about history and they care how they look. how do you decide what to believe? >> i never believe anything that shows told to me in an interview once. you interview people over and over again. i think i had 22 interviews. several hundred pages of typed notes. then you go to other people involved in the story. and you ask them the same questions. then you go back to the same person you said so and so, how do you reconcile that? it's very laborious. and then of course, for so much of johnson.

[laughter] >> we sat at this table. she sat at the head of the table, i sat at her right hand with my stenographer's notebook. and without a word of preamble, she starts to talk about alice glass, and she talks about how beautiful she was and how elegant she was. i remember she said i remember utalice in a series of the most beautiful dresses andmb me in dresses, well, not that beautiful. but she said whatever alice taught lyndon, he followed for the rest of his life like he had -- when she met him, he was thisre 29-year-old congressman, and he had very long, ungainly arms. so said turn them to your advantage, wear french cuffs with very nice cuff links. but she also said at various times in his life, she saved his political career. and one was particularl

i have been in court with johnson & johnson and mrs. strong for the better part of two years, and it's really sad to me to see that even today, after a judge has found their company responsible, they're still perpetuating the same lies this company has told for 20 years. she said no doctor in oklahoma ever came in and said that they were influenced by this company. that's not true. they had a prominent doctor here in oklahoma that they paid $10,000 a day to come in and testify on their behalf. what they didn't know is that doctor had given a speech in private here in oklahoma a few years before where he said, hey, here's what really happened, we all know what happened. they came in and told us to prescribe more opioids to anybody who was in pain, and who asked for them, and so that's what we did. and we all know now that was wrong and you can't do that anymore. >> but the argument is that if the doctors who actually do prescribing, not johnson & johnson, what's your response to that specific argument? >> doctors do the prescribing but t

than stopping boris johnson himself and so that's what's going to. to focus things well you mentioned a vote of confidence if that happens if it gets to that point there's a vote of confidence in parliament regarding boris johnson do you think he'd win it i think there's a chance he would win it because the difficulty is is many conservatives who are unhappy with boris johnson dislike the leader of the opposition jeremy corbin even more than they dislike boris johnson and so it might sound all the crazy that members the palms of the conservatives don't want boris johnson's key policy his nerve deal breaks it but they would still soon to have him and then jeremy called in as prime minister that's why legislative efforts to stop their deal breaks it are a clever option than trying to go for a vote of no confidence vote because they've won in the stands that alleges if you do breaks it is much more likely to succeed than a vote of no confidence and so that's the game is going to be played out particularly in the next week then they'll be another round o
