>>ly day bird johnson -- lady bird johnson was a great advocate and i mentioned that lyndon johnson is in my view and being the education president and the ward federal aid into education and the elementary and secondary higher education and put into law in 1965 and it was the height of the great society and that fundamental landscape and they help to start and it continues to be an important part of american life for those underprivileged young americans who start every morning before going to school. lyndon johnson to note seeing this firsthand and it's a very formative chapter in his life when he taught school in texas close to the mexican border to a group of impoverished largely mexican american school children. this was between lyndon johnson's junior and senior years at what is now texas state university where he's trying to get enough money to finish out his education. in order to do so, he thought these school kids and this small school, and he saw through their eyes what bigotry and hatred and poverty andat racial injustice looks like and that never left his consciousness and

johnson refused to do so. he said, look, if you want me to be off the ticket, get jack himself to call me, if jack calls me and the kennedys were not monolithic. they had different views on lyndon johnson. the patriarch had respect for. and when jack kennedy to be the vice-presidential nominee himself taking the second spot to adlai stevenson. he said you shouldn't be on the ticket unless lyndon johnson is object the ticket. i'll put money in it. there is a near miss in 1956 and then sets his sights in 1960. it's important to note that jack kennedy and his father had enormous admiration for lyndon johnson, bobby kennedy, however, was, as we discussed earlier, looked upon lyndon johnson differently and looking out for his brother's interests, tries to take lyndon johnson out of it. >> president obama was the first sitting senator to be elected since jfk, correct? did i get that right? >> lyndon johnson-- with vice-president-- sitting president. >> sitting senator. >> yes, that's correct. >> richard nixon, jfk a

uses johnson as a lens into his time because lyndon johnson was at the center of power and through johnson you could see what washington looks like in all its nuances. that is another reason i think he is telling of the lyndon johnson story. airplane >> host: let her mind viewers your long-term ceo of the johnson library, now president of the lbj foundation. how much time did robert caro spending boston? >> a long time and that is something the american people should realize, what a valuable research presidential libraries are to historians like me and others who want to know more about their history. if you go to the great hall of the lbj library you are send a marble staircase that takes you to the great hall where the presidential seal is etched in marble and you can look at a series of windows across four floors and you can see through those windows the archives of the johnson presidency. a beautiful brilliant red with bold presidential seals on fermented is meant to nod toward the transparency with which we treat our presidential records. that is why what we are talking about with the

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

one for boris johnson , one for rishi boris johnson, one for rishi sunak. for the various civil servants and special advisers who operated within number ten as well what did that mean for the party? it was pretty for the party. there were those who sort of argued that getting a fine for breaking these lockdown rules was of the same as getting a speeding ticket. you wouldn't expect minister expect the prime minister resigned a resigned to resign. he had a speeding the speeding ticket, but because the prime had put these very lockdown rules in place and there were lots of people who missed out on a family, events and funerals. the thing we mustn't on the deathbeds, there was a lot of anger in the country at large that. the prime minister and, the chancellor had both been fined for breaking these rules. and yet it was interesting because the chancellor wasn't really considered to have done anything particularly wrong. rishi sunak turned up a little bit early for a meeting whether happened to be a meeting whether happened to be a cake on the table. don't think

in johnson, the shameless plug my book. i covered johnson's approach to policy. as we know it's 11 through. and by the end johnson was mid north vietnam and 65. rolling thunder. done by the middle of 1965, 100,000 troops were going to rise to half 1 million. fascinating perspective. a wonderful -- >> power, we will lead that power. it comes from after he became president, -- between johnson and jackie kennedy, the lead president and for a variety of reasons for johnson who. he is going to need to stay in the good graces of family he helped them fall -- these legislative agendas he are going to need to go into the presidential campaign not alienating. it is a real challenge, it is early in this process and so sweet talking to jackie. she's doing it back, it's just as much as -- how much jackie a player is in her own right. lbj jackie kennedy from december 1963. >> let me tell you how much you mean to all of us. now we can carry on -- >> you've got one thing to, like one of them is that you don't bother me. you give me strength. >> i wasn't going to send you one mo

now the lyndon johnson library. they have 44 million documents and they were gonna be able to turn every one of those pages. but you can narrow it down i was writing about lyndon johnson as a young congressman there was only 267 boxes, maybe 200,000 pages that dealt with that so you cannot read all those pages but narrow it down to a couple of areas in one was a particular month that seemed was the key how lyndon johnson unmasked political power. you could tell when the change happened. he was a junior congressman in the letters in the file that he's writing to older congressman in the letters of a junior to a senior. can i have a few minutes of your time to the committee chairman. that was true after the single month of october 1940. at the end of the month of october 1940 and the entire rest of his career in the house of representatives the letters had a different tone the other way. the committee chairman the senior congressman writing to the union congressman lyndon and i have a few more minutes of your time. so

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

in johnson, the shameless plug my book. i covered johnson's approach to policy. as we know, that never fully went through. by the end of 1964, johnson was conducting a reprisal strike on north vietnam and then into 1965, more sustained strikes, rolling thunder bombing. by the end of 1965, 100,000 troops were going in and that would rise to over half 1 million by 1968. lbj is a fascinating character, not in respect to vietnam, but in respect to power. lbj thabob's wonderful work onj really is a study of power. i want to play a couple of clips from lbj that gives you a sense of how he will get that power. one of them comes from just ten days or so after he became president. it is a conversation between johnson and jackie kennedy, the widow. and it is notable for a variety of reasons. particularly for johnson who knows that he is going to need to stay in the good graces of the kennedy family. he has picked up the mantle from the fallen president. he is trying to pass kennedy's legislative agenda tax, cuts, foreign aid and then eventually civil rights. and then he is

johnson to be a great president if lady bird johnson had not been first lady. and the problem here is almost every first lady i think and melody would probably agree with this is they always say i really have very little influence on the present to the credit to him. it was all his doing and she would have guessed for state dinners or something like that it lady bird is no exception. in those conversations and i will have with her, she said the same thing. it will if did not know any better, just think that she was sort of this polite minor figure in the entourage. one of the great are actually one of the revelations is that lbj taped his wife without her knowledge and answer, did you know that he was taking you and she said no. but nothing would've surprised me in the case of that. and the other thing is that he would talk to her maybe a little bit less on this phone call but elsewhere just beautifully. my wife for this and she said, you really should be writing books on these tapes and you should talk to me much more the way he talked to her. but the point is

johnson _ chips. i absolutely did. johnson was _ chips. i absolutely did.solutely did. - johnson was never happier than when he was on a trip abroad. he loves nothing more than being on the world stage. bier? being on the world stage. very earl on being on the world stage. very early on he _ being on the world stage. very early on he went _ being on the world stage. very early on he went to _ being on the world stage. - early on he went to america and he hadn't been on the job that long and i said how is it? the job. long and i said how is it? the 'ob. �* , long and i said how is it? the 'ob. �*, , long and i said how is it? the 'ob. �* , , ., job. he said it's better than i could possibly _ job. he said it's better than i could possibly have - job. he said it's better than i could possibly have dream i job. he said it's better than i l could possibly have dream job. did he say that in that orgasmic way.- did he say that in that orgasmic way. he loved it, which explains _ orgasmic way. he loved it, which explains some - orgasmic way. he loved it, which expl

we knew about the johnson treatment. but the tapes seem to provide so much more evidence of those persuasive skills. what was it, do you think, that made lbj so legendarily persuasive? >> i think it is so many contributing factors. a big one is the state of texas, his upbringing there. he was the personification of everything is bigger in texas. he would use all of his physicality, and michael knows this, in barnyard ways we can't talk about in polite society. but he had a huge physical presence. he had an enormous wingspan, he knew exactly what he was doing. he had a command of the language and could meld this marvelous mixture of washington talk and texas talk. and you wouldn't want to go up against him. and we know that for all of the kind hearted souls who tried and lost over the course of these tapes. >> and he's able to do it over the telephone, without his physical presence? >> that's right. >> it's easy to say many of the conversations showed different dimensions of these persuasive skills, the johnson treatment.

senator johnson? sen. johnson: mr. chairman, i'm very mindful of the fact that this hearing really is about prison personnel preying on prisoners. i got that. but i think senator lankford brought up i think a pretty relevant point as well that certainly coming into this hearing i was thinking about, are there sexual assaults occurring between prisoners? director peters, how many biological males are being housed with biological females in federal prisons? ms. peters: i don't have an answer to that today. sen. johnson: do we have some? ms. peters: yes, senator. sen. johnson: i'll just go on the record, i won't belabor this point, but let me go on the record for when we are incarcerating somebody because they've committed a crime, we've taken away their right of being -- moving around freely around society, i would say they have no right to determine if you're a biological male to be housed with biological females. they have no right. that's the insane policy, we're talking about sexual assaults, to have the federal gove

and others is not a kennedy person is not a johnson person. but finally decides is going to take him on because of that vent another and he really likes. it's a long complicated story at bristol been paid by the state department even those in the peace corps. he called dean rescue him on the tapes i want that goodwin boy to come over here and i think you better give a 50-dollar raise if you have to take it out of my mother's group you can take it out ofve that. but i want him over here and going to work him day and night. i'm going to put them in the room and make them right. it was great. that a very complicated relationship because johnson i think really didn't respect what dick was able to do. despite me sending my personal favorite knowing him as a young man, nothing mattered more to me than see the draft of we shall overcome speech. the idea is what happened is on sunday night a week from blood he send a present johnson decided was going to give a speech to congress to talk with the voting rights act. m it meant that dick only had monday

david johnson is now 95 years old and a living treasure.they used to call san francisco's fillmore district the harlem of the west. it was a place filled with jazz clubs, nightlife, and a thriving black community. but then in the '70s, redevelopment came along, displacing residents, leaving the thriving culture mostly to memory. but the old fillmore will always have a touch of immortality thanks to the photos of david johnson. david johnson: that's the beauty of photography. it's a way of preserving what the world was like. joe: from the 1940s on, johnson's camera captured everyday life in the fillmore: on the streets, in the clubs. david: i liked to go into the dance hall there. joe: he dressed sharp, but the outfit wasn't complete without a large format camera. david: a handsome dude. joe: the camera first caught johnson's eye as a kid growing up poor in jacksonville, florida. he found one to call his own in a pawn shop. david: i started snapping pictures in my neighborhood. joe: after serving in the navy during world war ii, he returned

and he writes a speech for lyndon johnson and becomes lyndon johnson's speech writer, the we shall over come, the civil rights act, voting rights act, signing statements, and he's in the middle of the most extraordinary period of american liberalism in many ways. then he leaves and gets involved in the anti-war movement. he turned against the war and he's in new hampshire, up to mccarthy and he they called him the che guevara of the teenage experience. he off left for bobby kennedy, with his campaign and when he died. and he knows all of those characters in the 60's and he's an important figure, but not the central figure, so he is thinking about all of these other people and you hear what he thinks about jackie, bobby, and lbj and has relationships with them all and allows you to time travel by going through these papers through this rollercoaster of a decade, which had extraordinary triumphs and extraordinary sadnesses. in a certain sense a metaphor how we have to look at history, and we look at the sadness of the way it ended assassinations of martin luther king, bobby kennedy, the a

johnson: there is no place like nevada. anderson: there's sort of two different venues for having those sorts of conversations. one is the sort of classic open public meeting. you take all comers. those are important, particularly from the perspective of making sure that you're connected with everybody who would have an interest, who's paying attention in a fashion that they have an opportunity to he a say. we would go until nobody else wanted to talk. i've missed flights doing those sorts of meetings. people do like to talk, and it's important that you hear them. [cheering and booing] that said, we didn't resolve most of the details of those wilderness bills. a lot of the work ended up happening after those public meetings, with sort of privateide conversations. some people view things happening behind closed doors as untoward, and i think that's a real misconception. and the reason i say that is, people aren't inclined to share their bottom line in public. they're gonna tell you what their preferred course is, but they're

and then soon thereafter he writes a speech for john, linda johnson and he becomes lyndon johnson's chief speechwriter. that's the most extra a time of all, not onlyme of mark mentiond that we shall overcome speech that howard university speech, all the campaigns that can still write a company rights act, think statements and is in middle of the most extraordinary. back i think ofam american liberalism in many ways. then he leaves and he gets involved in antiwar movement. he turned against worker he went up to new hampshire, he's up there with mccarthy. they call in the share garrard of the teenyboppers lays out there. he love that experience.. -- shea passion he went to bobby kennedy's campaign and let bobby when he died. he was close to jackie kennedy. is working with her on a series of projects whenus is in the whe house. so he knows all those characters in the '60s, and he's an important figure but not the central figure. so he is thinking all these other people. you hear what he thinks about jackie and bobby and lbj, and has relationships with them all. it really is, allow you to tim

kennedy, robert kennedy and our own lyndon johnson. among other accomplishments, his american promise speech for lbj the plea for the voting rights act in the wake of blood he sunday in selma alabama which spurred immediate actionan from congress ranked as one of the most eloquent and ineffective and perhaps one of the most underrated presidential speeches in history. .. >> the protein is the founding director of the briscoe center and published 13 books including authoring red scare and last years the governor and the kernel a dual biography. moderating to his conversation is the director of the lbj presidential library ladies and gentlemen please join me in welcoming our guests.

johnson sees there's a real danger in that.four days may not be limited to the state of texas or the fbi. some congressmen already have suggested a congressional investigation. >> killing a president wasn't a federal crime at the time, so you had the federal government intervening in still what was a local murder. >> there certainly was a concern of competing investigations. there was the dallas criminal investigation, there was the state of texas court of inquiry, and there were committees on both sides of congress, while, of course, the fbi had been given the job to conduct a full scale investigation. >> johnson realizes something has to be done. he realizes that he has to appoint a body that the public will respect to look into this. >> i've got to have a top blue ribbon presidential commission to investigate this assassination. >> there's one public governmental official in the united states universally respected for his integrity. it's the chief justice of the supreme court, earl warren. if there's one person in congress t

haynes johnson of the washington post is yet another name link counter today. i as is jimmy breslin, a celebrated writer and columnist for newspapers in new york city. each of these journalists was prominent in some fashion. in print or broadcast media. as we shall see, all of them were suspicious about election polling. even hostile, even vehemently hostile of election polling. all of them can be called poll bashers. vigorous, even harsh critics of elections surveys. in considering poll bashing journalists, we will touch on presidential elections of 1948, 1952, 1980, 2008, 2016 and 2020. the polls in each of those election were off target in some, fashion's i'm way. as we've discussed, pulling failure doesn't always happen the same way. in any case, these cases that will touch on today sparked confusion, surprise, even disillusionment. and no small embarrassment for pollsters. so, let's get going. but step back 70 years to the election of 1952. it was the first presidential election after the pulling debacle of 1948. pollsters then, in 1948, had confidently pr

i don't think that there will be the same shocking majority that boris johnson had, but there will bety, but on the other hand, losing such a major in these elections is also in general impossible, but what will johnson do? they will uh help uh in the party in these elections especially because he wants to say himself that he is going to leave the parliament he is going to remain a member of the parliament well, we already have three the prime minister, the members of the parliament, that's why the tradition was the same before that the chairman, the chairman of the government , left either to the house of lords, rome, to leave , honest life, such a thing. now, no, teresa has changed this position. в частье приходы депутатов быть бенчнчера вы работые очень детективы p oleksandra we thank you very much for your answers oleksandr temarko and this is the president of the london conservative party, the chancellor of the institute of economic research in london answered to our questions, as a result of the russian drone attack, there is a significant power deficit in the country's energy s
