of course, when i presented andrew johnson a greenville, said andrew johnson was a white supremacist i said these are harsh words. we should not say these things about him. and i said he says those things about himself. this is 1867, johnson wrote to congress subjugation of the states to need domination would be worse than the military -- and they suffer now. he said it would be worse, to give african americans the right to vote. that is worse than having what he considers military despotism. and hands tryouts, who's written probably the best biography to date of andrew johnson, his inclusion is that -- johnson's opposition to congressional reconstruction was not merely based on confidence scruples it also reflected his deeply racial prejudices. and, throughout the first couple years of his presidency, johnson as we saw earlier vetoed over 200 pieces of legislation. took many other steps to obstruct laws that were passed by congress. and tries to regularly interfere with military congress and civilian agencies trying to implement reconstruction. according to another historian, the pr

johnson is more than double than the next man which would be johnson, 29. >> johnson is the equal of even the next two. >> yeah. >> he's more than the next two most. >> most of them get overridden. >> and a lot of johnson's ones get overlidden. now, it's certainly constitutional for the president to veto congressional legislation. that's in the constitution, but johnson is acting in a way that no previous president h done with regard to that power in the constitution. he's acting in a rather radical revolutionary wear compared to all previous presidents, and what he does is consistently vetoing congressional attempts at reconstruction. first the freedman bureau bill and civil rights bill, trying to guarantee civil rights for african-americans and all other people in the united states, and eventually congress decides that it needs to be even more aggressive in reconstruction. what they turn to is article 4 section 4 of the constitution which says the united states shall guarantee to every state in the union a republican form of government. remember this. we're going to be coming back

and johnson, vetoes it.this came as a shock, too many of the republicans. the author of the freed man's bill, was a moderate. the definition of a moderate republican and he had specifically, written the bill and trying to keep it as conservative as possible to bring on more conservative republicans to support it and so johnson would sign. and he was surprised, that it got that it was vetoed along with many other republicans. they had the republicans have to go back and rewrite the bill to make it even more conservative, so that they can get enough votes to override johnson's veto. and they ended up eliminating the effectiveness of the freed men's bureau. and this set a pattern going on to 1866. and one of those patterns, is johnson's interaction with congress and vetoes. now some of you may notice, the formatting this comes from old faithful wikipedia. i don't suggest you always trust them, the sources of information and they are useful though, forgetting some charts and graphs and this is a summary of vetoe

johnson and president johnson in there with a group of people and president johnson was talking to marie famer his secretary. i talked to marie and they said they were trying to get a judge from downtown to come out and do the swearing in. mrs. kennedy was in the rear with the casket. marie told me when the president arrived on the aircraft, which was maybe 15 minutes, no more than that, than mrs. kennedy's arrival. the first thing he did was he asked for a hot cup of vegetable soup. and he said to marie, i have lived a year since this morning. and then he told her, and i overheard him tell her that i would like for you to go and ask mrs. kennedy if she will stand with us at the swearing in. and marie went back and talked to mrs. kennedy or sent a message back, yes, i will come, but i want a few minutes to compose myself. and so we waited. by this time, the room was stifling hot, probably 120 degrees. we had-sitting under the hot sun and only one engine was running to keep the electronics going. it was probably a few minutes before mrs. kennedy appeared in the doorway. that's when the so

boris johnson is invested in this. he is having a hard time of it, with the pandemic, terrible numbers on the covid front and the u.k., an eminent lockdown. you need to win on this in order to go into the new year with any sense of optimism. are there any other hurdles that you can see that could prevent the implementation of a deal? david: well, you know, they may be arguing about it, but he does have an 80% majority. labour will probably vote for it. it has got to be ratified on the european side as well, remember. the european parliament has already said their deadline has been missed, so there will have to be some sort of special protocol to implement that. remember the canada trade deal? that was a most scuttled at the last minute by a small area of belgium. 37 countriesn all has got to agree to the deal. the expectation is that no one will throw a wrench in the works, but this is the european brexit.t is yousef: it would not be 2020 if they were not wisps interns. david merritt -- not twists and turns. david merr

he was sitting next to lady bird johnson and lady bird johnson asked dr. seuss what he was working on. he said he was working on this book about environmentalism that became "lorax" and lady bird told lbj what he learned and he went over to dr. seuss and said thank you so much for donating the artwork for that book to the lbj library. another good example of his persuasive techniques. but he worked in this space and we have is striking are, which is not what one expects when one walks into a building connected to a president known for things like the civil rights and vietnam war and poverty. we also have some quirky items like that that make it an even more special place. >> here is a political question for you. did robert kennedy try to wrestle the 1964 nomination from lbj? >> a controversial question. you ask 10 different people and you get 10 different opinions. in my own view, there is certainly some evidence that rfk thought hard about it. as everybody knows, lots of tension with lbj over the years. was not at all convinced that lbj should be the guy

that's going to be an imitation of people's abilities to move around contrarily the promise of boris johnson saying that actually this deal is what people voted for in the 2060 referendum that is what people went to the polls and asked for but not possibly may not be the case for a variety of reasons there will be of course those who want the relationship to continue sokal remain as but only those even within the conservative party the so-called hard perhaps it is who will feel like this deal. is a capitulation we've seen the e.u. side claiming for example that the u.k. capitulated when it came to fisheries now fisheries are a small part of the case economy they account for about 0 point one percent of g.d.p. but it was a question of sovereignty it was a question of britain taking back control of the costa waters the british government say that's exactly what they've done with this deal the french side say that the agreement that the u.k. has come to an agreed when it comes to access to fishing waters is far away from their initial position and we've seen french politicians and officials say

both johnson has signed the breadths the deal that he has reached with the e.u. and parliament had its roots in the however many critics of this process in parliament are saying that practically it's not enough so the m.p.'s only had a few hours to debate this really complex agreement with the european union and given the fact that the great city isn't always ringback promised bragg's it was all about taking back control and giving control to the u.k. parliament many parliamentarians were very frustrated that they only had a few hours to look into this agreement however the deal is done and boris johnson obviously is celebrating the fact that he accomplished taking the u.k. out of the european union that there is more sovereignty free or for example the european court of justice critics are saying that he is not clear about the trade offs that he's not explaining to the country that yes there is more serving tea but economically there are trade offs and even though there is a deal a trade deal with the e.u. that there will be extra trade barriers for example for

and johnson vaccine why is there a lack of on paper certificates certified efficacy now for johnson and johnson but other countries are so far ahead of what kovacs is trying to achieve. so it's basically depended on where you are doing a study and how you doing a study essentially the elements of the study are you have a large group of people want often 30000 in the. in the treatment group that's the people who get the candidate back saying and another 30000 who get the dummy vaccine or say line at the control and you basically ruch to see whether anybody gets infected and i think you have a certain number of exemptions that you have calculated you need to reach to demonstrate that. the vaccine itself is protecting the people in that group and not and there is a very big difference between these 2 groups so some of the groups haven't reached that now remember the studies are being done in different countries where there are different levels of transmission they started at different times so it's not anything to do necessarily with the vaccine more the structure of the studies unders

the second thing, boris johnson is due is not the case.d thing, borisjohnson is due to update the cabinet on the latest on those negotiations. it is the big question... can i decide move towards the other or is either side prepared to walk away yet? we are hearing the cabinet call is under way so maybe the phone call with ursula von der leyen is over. the german chancellor angela merkel are saying everything possible should be done to agree a deal. does that suggest there is some pressure to go perhaps the extra mile? if the talks continue beyond today, how much longer is there? not many days till the end of the year. i am going to resist any temptation to put another deadline on this. how many times have we spoken and nz today is a big day in the process has dragged on? how long do you need to get business to get ready? we are in a position where in two and a half weeks the transition period ends and things will change. one big complaint from the business community, they do not know what is happening. they do not know what is happening. t

takeaways of what last johnson had to say. yeah quite a long speech that rebecca considerably longer than the the speech we had from the commission e.u. commission president von der leyen of course this was the speech of boris johnson's career and many people are saying his sales pitch for this breaks a deal that broke that deal that he said he would he promised to secure when he was voted into office he is now selling that to the british public now what struck me about the general tone of that start speech is it was an gloating it didn't gloat the fact that a deal about the fact that a deal had been done didn't gloat about u.k. victories which i'm sure a lot of the newspaper from pages will do tomorrow morning instead he stressed that this is the start of a long friendship with the u.k. and the e.u. now of course it was rife with boris johnson that for example he said. the u.k. has taken back control of every jot and tittle of its regulations on the nation's well he said that the u.k. would be out to catch prodigious amounts

she cannot offer boris johnson what he seems to want.oris johnson is operating under rules that are his alone. tonight, under this dinner he could say i am going to meet the eu demands, i'm going to betray the red lions. we know that if he does that, it can get voted thugh in the u.k. parliament with labor votes, but he indicated today in the speech you showed that he has no intention of doing that. he is coming here to tell her that he wants the eu to drop its insistence that the u.k. adhere to level playing field guarantees with exchange for the eu markets and that it drop its insistence that the eu have some fishing rights in the u.k. waters. ursula cannot grant that. best thing she can do is take his concerns on board, hear from him what he needs to get a deal, then tell the eu prime ministers and presidents when they meet here tomorrow for an in person summit. if the message that he is going to give to her to give to them is simply that the eu has to drop all of its insistence on level playing field, that is a nonstarter for the eu

he won boris johnson won last year's the l. action with the conservatives 1st convincing majority for many years that the al lot of conservatives do have a lot to be grateful a to him for but the conservative party is also a notoriously ruthless about holding on to power is he now a liability i think he's looking pretty frail actually i mean it is an extraordinary situation that was a tremendous election victory only last december but he's been weakening ever since i feel part of it is built into the man this is a man whose real claim to success has always been to be full of optimism full of good cheer funny guy doesn't really matter if he doesn't do the detail and he's suddenly been faced with this nightmare of a pandemic on the one hand and delivering very complicated bricks it on the other which do not play to his strengths he's not a details man and that's why he's in a mess so on that point as you say it was always going to be politically fraught and then we had covert has punished johnson just been unlucky. i think it's w
