johnson had promised johnson lost johnson had promised and he let that down as part of what the title of the book is all about johnson lost the congressional election, but in 1875 who was named senator of tennessee, they would know direct elections for senate then and served several months in office before dying in tennessee, and he dies not as the kind of hated person that he is generally now, but here's an image from courier in oz death of the honorable andrew johnson, which widely circulated at the time. i don't see any black people at bedside prime. i meanwhile, here's douglas circa 1880 five years after the death. i'm if douglas were alive today, and i'm moving now to my conclusion. i think he'd have much to say about what's going on in georgia, texas and elsewhere. it was states restricting voting rights, which he no doubt would say takes us back to the days of jim crow. but and this is the important but he also reminded us of american ideals and possibilities in one of douglas's most famous lake career speeches. he addressed the scourge of black lynchings in the country. everyt

this is douglas on johnson five years after johnson's death. andrew johnson, the moses of the colored race had betrayed that race into the bloodstain hands of the old master class. in the interest to move in on i will not read the rest of that but he doesn't not like johnson. he picks up on that image of johnson as moses. at the end of johnson's presidency, he moved back to tennessee and decided to run for congress. he regularly spoke to black groups in 1868 and reminded them they had once regarded him as their moses. he even showed them newspaper clippings of his famous moses speech he also, very perceptive the, told them that was like a former slave. he wanted their love and their vote he also had some understanding of what the blacks are suffering in the south. for that reason, w. e. b. boys in his great 1935 book on black and reconstruction calls johnson not the most evil manner in history but, and i quote, the most pitiable figure in american history. johnson had promised and he let that down. it is a part of what the title of the book is

and put him behind johnson. and of course forced johnson to come to him. while johnson says that this is a possibility. he pulls his army back behind the river. and davis is not happy about this. because he's given up territory, given up the mean packing clad manassas. their communication so bad he thought he had approval. in the meantime mcclelland realizes he cannot wreck -- he's gonna go down to fort mineral in the tip of the men -- when he, lands he starts moving up the river. up the peninsula. and john magruder was in charge of 13,000 confederates. he's built a line from yorktown along the warwick river, all the way to the -- and he's blockedup the river so it's almost impassable. thers 13,000 men in these out number 10 to one by mclaughlin. johnson is sitting down to take over this. again, johnson can ad a map, these controversial obviously. he's not a stupid man. looks at that second those, okay, i have two problems here. first is, my main fortifications are in yorktown. the confederates actually rebuild british expectations in your klein. but he kn

lady bird johnson was a great advocate for education, as was lyndon johnson. lyndon johnson is, in my view, our civil rights president. he can also lay claim to be the education president. lyndon johnson ported federal-aid into education the first time, a profusion of federal-aid through the secondary education act, higher education act, both put into law in 1965 which as i mentioned was really the high time of the great society. lyndon johnson's first year in the presidency after winning in his own right. that fundamentally change the educational landscape. lady bird johnson was educated here in austin at the university of texas. she had to unveil headstart which continues to be an important part of american life today for those underprivileged young americans who don't get a breakfast every morning before going to school. lyndon johnson, it is important to note had seen this firsthand and i think he had a very orbit of chapter in his life when he taught school in texas, close to the mexican border, to a group of impoverished, largely, mexican american school

but, johnson sees an opportunity here. member carranza becomes impassable will the union army had built a series of bridges, nothing right. but recently enough, they get washed out. and he said if i have it wash out, notice can you will see that. okay, the way front cle seven pines and one of his divisions is mile further towards ty in a place called santon some fear for their from the public library and sent in, that is it. that entire battlefield family has lost and is a shame. but he can hit the keys, i can crush keys in the fourth or maybe a forced him to pull back is really good plans of what he will do and still have the street and right there, a mile long road see if i can advances. it's a 9-mile road and then get to the seven pines. then he'll good on the williamsburg road to seven pines benjamin is going to go down and come up and hit the seven pines from the south. that's a great plan really. any sensitive motion heavy rains hit on may 31 and he launches the attack and is supposed to start in the morning pretty a

lyndon johnson carried on the tradition of taping johnson who had also taped while he was vice president began taping from the very moment that he became president and we have 800 hours of lbj material about 650 of them on the telephone and about a hundred and fifty of them being meeting tapes, but it's richard nixon who wins the award for the greatest taping scheme that we have seen of these presents 3400 hours of nixon materials tape from february of 1971 through july of 1973. and the reason that there are so many nixon tapes is because he was using her voice activated system. so every time that he stepped into a room with a beeper on his on his belt buckle. a voice activated recorder would kick off and so whether nixon was speaking with aids whether he was watching tv and then left the room and the tv stayed on that would be captured as well which is why we have hours and hours of washington. i'll say the name washington redskins football games because that was the name of the team at the time. was it that the miller center comes to to take this on in 1998 philip? zelica who had moved

it is part of barnes criticism of johnson. johnson also said he does not believe the january 6 events were true insurrection because he did not view them as violent. he said he was not concerned that day in the capitol, didn't really know was happening

and johnson folded into all of that.here were environmental laws and policies one after the other. if you go to the johnson library in austin, i recommend everyone go visit that library. you see walls of signing dense, many of these were things we do not talk about a lot, but that is about regulating industry, and making sure that our country sides are safe, and johnson even promoted parks near cities in ways that we could make sure outdoor recreation was not just for elite or people like myself that can go to a trailer in yosemite. but that there would be agreements and recreation areas in people' his backyard. lyndon johnson was phenomenal, and act in act by act what he did for my profession and brian lamb and you do for a living, looking at the history of our country, the ability to say forms of former presidents. i was writing a book, how touching carl sandberg was adopted by lyndon johnson in and lady bird. they saved carl sandberg's home in north carolina. efforts -- in working, the talent that lbj had working with

johnson said let's go for it. really good rangers of the midwest or some of the best land stewards there are. we sometimes think of cowboys as being slaughterhouses or shooting of guns, many of them do a beautiful job of land repairing and fixing and proper stewardship, and linda it was one of them -- linden -- lyndon was one of them. kennedy's wilderness act, andg son gns it in 1964. it puts 9.1 million acres in america that says no roads are allowed to be built, it will just be abbott that -- habitat, and humans have to hike in or hike out, but no motorcycles, dune buggies, local trucks or porta potty's. it is just wilderness. i give lyndon full credit for that. he pushed it through and perhaps others would not. after that success he starts adopting the idea of why do we need these dams all the time? he also promoted wild and scenic river movement, taking big parts of our gorgeous rivers. oregon today as so many, and alaska, rivers that are going to be able to stay in a more pristine condition and not be pollute

it is part of barnes criticism of johnson. johnson also said he does not believe the january 6 events were true insurrection because he did not view them as violent. he said he was not concerned that day in the capitol, didn't really know was happening outside but that he would have been concerned had they been black lives matter protesters rather than insurrectionists or elections cap this -- skeptics or deniers be a that rhetoric has been used as well against him. republicans running statewide in wisconsin are not of the same election dinar quality saying the republicans in arizona or some other states are. both michael's and johnson have expressed concern about 2020, they both said no biden is the victor, but they do not believe election procedures were followed property. they both want changes made to the state elections commission and other aspects of state election law. so it is sort of an ambiguous area between accepting the results of 20/20 and really challenging them. i don't think we know exactly what they will do, p

yes, this is american scheme in action johnson johnson is johnson this acknowledges the question of howuropean elite has become so senseless so impotent so you don't know what's actually interesting. she is not a national european, there is no national cast left. by the way, in part - this is a direct consequence. uh, this is the concept of the euro-atlantic civilization, because the euro-atlantic solidarity was supposed to make sure that the national elite, no one in any country of the world did not have any different programs there they educate them, uh, they pulled, there are still 60 and seventies plus. i think there is a huge amount of compromising information on each of these of these figures, plus a special one means the introduction of various new rules and values, which, uh, pulled up a huge number of, in principle, useless personnel. check it out. pardon me, so to speak, my french. look at the huge number of women, yes, which in europe took all these places today about women. you usually fuck europeans like that. and this is also the second. so to speak. this is the second tie

that's what johnson & johnson will pay to by abiomed.s provide an enterprise value for the deal which includes equity of debt, and it will bolster johnson & johnson's medical technologies business abiomed does a lot of stuff with heart, lungs and kidney support functions, and johnson & johnson's share is down a quarter percent of trading on that nature. and then in the health care business, we have a couple big earnings movers so far this morning. eli lilly out this morning with results that came out better than estimated with profits and revenues, and they did cut, and pfizer shares coming in better than expected for quarterly profits and revenues, and you will see those shares up about 3.5% and then social media postings with regard to respect that china may look to ease some of the covid restrictions if you want to call it news -- the speculation on some of these social media posts have led to a huge move higher in the premarket for some of the chinese tech companies, so u.s. listed ones here, and some up 5.5 to 7.5 and some of the bi

as johnson has done. he had a six point lead but now it is a two point lead which is now within the margin of error. joining us is mandela barnes. thank you for being here tonight on your campaign bus. how you are feeling about your chances in six days? >> thank you so much for having me. we're feeling incredibly energized by momentum, by the folks showing up at rallies across wisconsin. we're on our rv tour getting across wisconsin. this is win the for wisconsin tour. that's what we intend to do. not just win a campaign. not just win an election but win for the working people that were left behind by ron johnson. there are concerns and frustration that people had over the last 12 years, absolute lack of representation. ron johnson is in it for himself and wealthy donors at the expense of the rest of us. he's too comfortable send going paying jobs out of state and overseas. his position on abortion is too extreme and out of touch for 70% of the state that believe roe v. wade should be law of the land. and

it's not our fault that democracy isn't working out for ron johnson.sh to fight for it, protect it, make sure the right to vote is protected across the country, across the state. and we're gonna stand up to any sort of attacks that he tries to wage on the process. i'm more than happy to accept the results, and it's the same shame that senator johnson can't accept the same thing. >> wisconsin is one of those states that is always an era. joe biden won -- victories tend to be narrow because the state is deeply purple. it's a very sharp divide between the two parties. joe biden won the state by 21,000 votes. what seems to be happening in wisconsin is that republicans, when they can't win outright, fair and square, they tried to diminish or dilute democratic power in the state through gerrymandering and otherwise basically shrinking the power of democrats to represent the state. even if they have the votes, if you will. i believe democrats have to win the statewide vote by 12 points just to get 50 seats in the assembly, according to the marquette universit

ron johnson is one of the greatest threats to our democracy.enator since joe mccarthy and even then i wasn't alive to make the just comparison between him and mccarthy. people watching him who will see this close race, you can help us get over the finish line and send ron johnson packing. he's a climate denier, an election denier, he will set all of us back 50 years to the past. the person is out of control. if people want to help us close this gap to ultimately be successful, please go to mendel barnes to make it happen. >> early voters, 581,000 people have voted so far, about 216,000 of them are registered democrats. you mentioned abortion, in another state, north carolina, you've got a guy saying there should be rape panels, a woman should have to go before a panel, who should decide if a woman was really raped and go before a panel and ron johnson say any woman who wants to own their own body should leave this state. he said he'd like to see a national ban but until then just get out. mike lee has said it, he want to abolish social security

of you that you have heard from ron johnson?'ll, ron johnson has been pretty ridiculous, the whole way through, and it's because he doesn't have his own -- he's done everything to try to distract and try to divide this entire state, and look, i can take it, i put my name on the ballot. it's the fact that he's insulted working class people across wisconsin. i'm frustrated that, he would be so audacious, is to make people in the state feel like they are less than, or if they're not deserving. that's where i met, i'm on behalf of the people's constant, the ron johnson hasn't left behind. we always knew would be ridiculous, because for 12 years he's done nothing, he's live for 12 years. we shouldn't expect him to start being truthful now. and this divisive behavior by ron johnson must come to an end. he was the worst senator we've had since joe mccarthy. and even, then who knows, i wasn't alive for joe mccarthy, i was in line for that one. >> mandela, barnes now the democratic candidate for senate in wisconsin, thank you very much f

johnson , because i, again, if you remember, was between sumyka and johnson before mr.hnson took off, and then there was a phrase by sumy that about the fact that he is counting on johnson's great political activity both internally and externally, so i think that he remains such an active moral political leader of the conservative party who will not leave the political game and i am convinced that even now he has an influence on many decisions which this party produces another topic, let's discuss now the fall of a rocket in the polish city of przewod was an accident and it was impossible to neutralize it. this was stated by the president of poland, ange, and duda, according to him, almost all the information that appears in the media is not true. can protect the entire country at once. of course, if it is not guarding a certain strategic object, that is why they were unable to shoot down this missile. duda, for a certain reason, the missile fell due to certain internal mechanisms that should have worked and neutralized it now let's add to the conversation eh luksheya s

you remember this is mandela barnes, ron johnson.ut out a statement saying it was over. let's go to steve kornacki. is it? >> here we go. nbc news now declaring that ron johnson, two-term republican, has been elected to a third term representing wisconsin in the united states senate narrowly defeating his democratic challenger mandela barnes. we've been waiting to make sure there was no extra vote remaining in milwaukee, in madison. you heard that report from shaq brewster. shaq had it nailed. our decision desk has confirmed the information that shaq was reporting. our decision desk is comfortable putting that checkmark next to johnson's name. many believed he was the most vulnerable republican running for re-election. he's survived against the odds in 2016. he won his seat originally in 2010. he wins it again in 2022. what does this mean for the senate with republicans holding wisconsin now. there's been one change, it's the democrats have picked up pennsylvania. and so the battleground really comes into focus right now. had johnson

longstreet is like johnson. he thought a lot of him. they thought they lost their best commander, right? longstreet also was self serving. i have a lot of opinions on him. i don't have the time for that. he also wanted to advance and i think that really saw him as reliable. he tried him out down in suffolk and he sent him out west. i don't think he was thinking that longstreet could rise to that level. i think he was a good subordinate. he considered him like a rock. i think that lee liked longstreet a lot. i think he knew his limitations. i don't know if lee saw him as disingenuous. i don't know that. lee doesn't write much about what he thinks about people. >> interesting saying -- when longstreet is coming back from suffolk, he's actually participating in -- sending out to tennessee where i can go be with joe johnston, my mentor. he comes up with this plan to get shipped to tennessee, join up with johnston, attack rose currents, and then march up to kentucky again and make a dash out ohio. that is longstreet's plan for alleviating pr

maxim so, the winner is johnson and the unnamed biden. who did they defeat, they achieved their goals and they well here, i answer this difficult question, how to answer it. if after the first sentence you prevent me from finishing. yes, the question is not easy about him, i'll try to answer your call, and they achieved their goals. you yourself said that a long war prevented the conclusion of a truce in istanbul - that was their goal, if the war had turned out to be short, if we had quickly achieved the set results and quickly and victoriously completed hostilities, then indeed germany would have remained. in economic terms, in the zone of influence of russia, italy would continue to buy energy. but in general, the fact that they have dragged it out so much now. well , look already, italy has freed itself from the e-e of our gas, germany has freed itself. it was impossible to imagine this in the spring. yes, it is , of course, unpleasant for us to admit, but the british, the americans, this is a coalition, when they really want , they ca

johnson even praised mr. johnson's further quote after all my worries .hank god that everything turned out this way and thanks to our defenders who on the front lines did everything to make sure that it turned out that way. thanks to boris johnson who tried with all his might back then to convince his allies in nato and the european union to provide ukraine with all the necessary help to fight against aggressor well, thank you for everything he did after that, and of course, again, he always advises us - we are always happy to see him in ukraine. by the way, about the french presidency of emmanuel macron, whom boris already mentioned johnson, yes, macron still wants to talk to putin. he said this today during a conversation with journalists, according to the head of the elysee palace, he intends to call the kremlin in the coming days and discuss a number of issues with his master. nuclear power plant and he will do it after consulting with the secretary general of the international atomic energy agency, rafael grossi. sometimes i personally have a questio

we also hear washington bohdan here about boris johnson. it is interesting that he also considered the possibility of competing again for the prime minister's chair, as we remember, but in the end , it was abandoned, is it known what his future plans might be, well actually boris johnson remains a member of the british parliament from his district, which is near london to the west of the british capital, that is, he is an active politician in the fraction of the government conservative party he is obviously trying to find some kind of further role in what he calls the mobilization of international support for ukraine. financial aid for ukraine, in what form it will be uh right now we don't know yet maybe he himself doesn't know yet we will follow bohdan really for this thank you for the essay for your analysis for your information i will remind you that bohdan was in touch with us tsyupan, a full-scale attack by russia caught many ukrainians abroad, some of them put aside their peaceful lives and came to ukraine to defend it with weapons in

senator johnson and his allies are hitting mandela barnes on crime.he ads on that have been unrelenting for a long time. mandela barnes has tried to distance himself from the defund the police forces, the abolish ice people, senator johnson has tried to tie into that and say he would be soft on crime. and that he is not a good candidate in this environment. mandela barnes is african-american and is trying to become the first black u.s. senator from wisconsin. he is currently lieutenant governor from a walkie, he has tried to also talk about abortion but also talk about senator johnson's record, his role in downplaying the january 6 riots at the capitol, he had wanted a slate of fake republican electors for the vice president on that day. these are things mandela barnes is talking about on the state -- around the state. he is trained to bring in democratic voters in milwaukee which is the largest democratic voting hub in the state, that is where mandela barnes is from, focusing on that, and cutting into the republican advantage in rule areas and doing

here to talk about that, aaron johnson. she serves as the rocket of executor of the national lgbtq tax force. and personally respect for marriage act, what exactly does this legislation do? >> basically what the status is makes sure that those who have gotten married are -- that right is respected at the federal level and at the state level. so it is government recognition and acknowledgment of marriages. between all people including same-sex folks. >> how does it do that? >> it basically creates an opportunity for interstate recognition. it creates an opportunity for, if the supreme court overturns, for ame over fell or winds, or it puts a precon in place. that says, regardless of what happens these marriages are protected. >> another component of this is that it repeals with the 1996 defense of marriage act. you mentioned obergefell. did that overturn the defense of marriage act? >> it did not overturn it but it basically made it in operable. and we know the things that we did not expect to happen, like overturned. like w
