and then johnson & johnson was like, we see an opportunity here. >> johnson & johnson starts producing johnson's baby powder in 1894. it quickly becomes one of their most iconic products. it kicks off an enormous business for johnson & johnson. >> it was all over the place. i mean, you saw it in cartoons, you saw it in telephvision show. >> talcum powder is not to play with. >> oh. >> that was me. that was all my family. growing up, my mother used johnson & johnson baby powder on all of her children, which is me included. how did you ever get turned on to johnson & johnson baby powder? probably from the hospitals, when you have a baby at the hospital, they usually give you a package and there's baby powder in it. baby powder and baby oil and baby wash. >> samples and stuff. >> yeah. you're thinking the hospital trusts this. there must not be anything wrong with it, and you use it. >> you would think it was created for babies, but johnson & johnson keeps looking for new market segments for this product. so they start looking to adult women. and it's evident in a lot of the advertising y

, showing johnson around and finally johnson around the campfire. muir you write me two articles and i'll publish them in a century and then i'll take them down to washington dc and i'll put them on the desk of every congressperson down there. and we're going to get a bill passed and create a national park and lo and behold, muir, the stories, even though he's skeptical because he hadn't had any success in the political realm, johnson publishes them, goes down to d.c. and they get this bill passed. and if it were only so easy, yeah, much of the book is johnson basically back in on the east coast saying muir, we're stalling. you've got to get me more stories, you know, because those were the things that caused the politicians to act. i was really struck by that. and johnson was a real urbane guy. i mean, he was an east coaster city person, savvy, savvy in the halls of congress. and yeah, john johnson in own. right. was an amazing guy. at one point i wanted to call the book johnson and mr. muir and publishers like, no, you can't do that. it's got to b

johnson fills their place with yes men. and so they they think to themselves, well, it's better if we stay here to try to keep sensibility to this and to stay in our position rather than to leave. now, you can criticize them for. i tend to think they do have some justification for saying. now, we have one last question over here. good evening. i just had three quick questions. yes and no. this about, you know, we keep hearing about we lost the war and sometimes you get it up here. so can you name one battle that the american in vietnam lost in all the time? were there one major battle and now there's not. and that's is not. yeah. and by the way, i point out that i brought this up with ken burns documentary, came out, tried to show some battles where things didn't go so great. those were the exception. but yes in the americans consistent we won and they won every major battle. yes. second point, you know, korea was a u.n. fight from what i remember. but for vietnam, we had some goals and in 1972, there was another tet offens

johnson himself, they have told us this evening. information has come to light the process of preparing evidence and a defense for boris johnson in the public inquiry into the u.k. government's response to coronavirus. lawyers for mr. johnson paid for by the government were looking through his diaries. they raised concerns about several entries in his official diary in relation to events which may potentially have been in breach of coronavirus rules and guidance at the time. they raised concerns with officials at the cabinet office who passed that information to police in line with their responsibility as civil servants . that is where this takes us. we have a response from the metropolitan police who confirmed they are in receipt of information and are currently assessing it. also in a statement given to the times, they say they are looking into a report of potential breaches of the rules. as for boris johnson, a spokesperson for him this evening telling us some abbreviated entries in the official diary were queried by a cabinet of

just the johnson & johnson brand is cemented in american culture.grew up with the baby powder, so i was wondering as i embarked on this story and this investigation how can there be so many people now 40,000 plaintiffs suing johnson & johnson saying look, that baby powder contained asbestos which caused my cancer and how can johnson & johnson say flat out, there was never any asbestos in our baby powder, we have done the testing. the science shows this, and our product is safe. so we followed the journey of these three women who are bringing suit against this multi-billion dollar company and we look at the claims that they are making, what they are using to back up their claims, and then we sit down with the lawyer for johnson & johnson, allison brown, who says flat out, the product is safe. here's what she had to say. >> so johnson & johnson is at the center of this. so it is essential to hear from this lawyer who has been defending johnson & johnson in court. >> the first thing that is most important for me that people know about these cases is th

johnson, seek recognition? mr. johnson: mr. speaker, pursuant to house resolution 429, i call up the resolution s.j.res. 11 and ask for its immediate consideration in the house. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the joint resolution. the clerk: senate joint resolution 11, joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, united states code, of the rules submitted by the environmental protection agency relating to "control of air pollution from new motor vehicles: heavy duty engine and vehicle standards." the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. pursuant to house resolution 429, the joint resolution is considered as read. the joint resolution shall be debatable for one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the committee on energy and commerce or their respective designees. the gentleman from ohio, mr. johnson, and the gentleman from new jersey, mr. pallone, will each control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gent

jim. >> and how is johnson & johnson responding to these claims? the very best independent laboratories show that our talc based baby powder was safe, and that there has never been a finding of asbestos, and that the baby powder did not cause cancer. so i sat down with allison brown, the outside attorney for johnson & johnson. here's what else she said. >> so, johnson & johnson is at the center of this, so it is essential to hear from this lawyer who has been defending johnson & johnson in court. >> the first thing that is most important for me that people know about these cases is that they are doing an enormous disservice to a very important issue of women's health. what we can say with 100% certainty is that we have never confirmed a finding of asbestos in any product that has been sold and that decades of scientific testing and study have shown that our talc is safe and does not cause cancer. >> reporter: and now johnson & johnson is offering $8.9 billion to pay out the plaintiffs, try to put an end to all of these lawsuits. it claims that a ma

tight, and johnson from the first look at hoover as a tool that he could use and is johnson in 1964 who exempted hoover from what would have been mandatory federal retirement at the age of 70. he did that to get to your question, in order to use hoover in a variety of ways. on the one hand, johnson was very explicit about pushing the fbi into civil rights enforcement, and asking hoover and the fbi to do things that were going to help him promote and forward a civil rights agenda, particularly around attempts to pass the civil rights act of 1964, and the voting rights act in 1965. so, in that sense, he pushed hoover to escape more aggressively and manage the political situation around civil rights in order to get these landmark achievements there. on the other hand, and this is probably less well-known, he was often very actively in the loop with hoover and sometimes, he conspired with hoover to spy on martin luther king in particular and surveilled civil rights movement. particularly, the student movement that emerged later. there was a lot of direct interchange about stokely carmic

you know, that is johnson johnson, right presumably. so his i think it was his son in law was was was in vietnam doing the tet offensive. and apparently he's listening to a recording of his son in law and he broke down and that picture was taken and of course it started circulating and i mean, it doesn't good. right. it's like a president that's been kind of broken by by by vietnam. and again, like johnson never vietnam. johnson wanted the great society was going to be a domestic savior. and instead he had to deal with what he called that -- of the war. right. he had this called it this great lee. this great lady, the love of his life, the society. right. changing america. but he had to give it all up for what he called that -- of a war. and here's a dejected johnson who decides to just call the whole thing. in march of 68. that's my. that's the massacre. so somewhere between 205 hundred civilians e are are killed. there's a there's an army photographer there. and he has he's got two cameras on him. he's got a u.s. military issued 's go

and did johnson do about it once johnson became president on the 22nd of november? that. so my original thought was just to write on that small little slice. but then i came to realize that to tell the story of the withdrawal plan, i actually had to backtrack and tell story of kennedy in vietnam more, more comprehensively. so i spent a fair amount of time developing what i saw as kennedy's commit to vietnam. hence that that part of the title and then carrying carried the story past three into 64 into march of 1964, when the plan essentially falls apart under lbj. and then i tack on an epilog, which addresses the the story about that planning, the narrative about that planning at the time. late 1960s into the 1970s. but then very much so in the era of 911. and the way that conversation about kennedy vietnam became rolled into a conversation and the united states and its use of force abroad. so it became a much larger project and i would say that again, it is not really a comprehensive history of vietnam, although it covers much of the same ground. and it has to. but it is

. >>> first ladies from lady bird johnson to trump talk about the role of the first lady, their time in the white house and the issues important to them. we hear them in their own words. >>> along the lines of solemn respect for people all along the hills. the site was covered with flowers. we put our flowers down, stood a moment in silence and then we turned around and left. the beautiful vista of washington spread out below us and our hearts, you look around you you look for who is strong, intelligent, not prior knowledge or sentiment makes me think one of those. we talked about how to bridge the gap between the kennedy administration and the johnson administration. i tried to express my thanks to him. >> that was lady bird johnson from her 1963 diarrhea recording after visiting president john f. kennedy's grave. just days after his assassination, lady bird was confronting a wife as first lady of the united states. she lived in the white house from 1963 to 1969. some of the country's most tumultuous years through the civil rights movement, vietnam and political assassinations. you

i used johnson & johnson baby powder when i was a kid and teens. learn from your reporting? >> they're going to learn a lot. look, this has been going on for years and years, these lawsuits against johnson & johnson, against its iconic product, the now discontinued talc baby powder. what we did is we rolled up our sleeves and we dug into the science. we looked at what the plaintiffs argue is proof that there was asbestos in johnson & johnson baby powder, including internal memos from inside johnson & johnson from the 1950s, where executives talked about the concern of liability from potential asbestos in its baby powder products. we look at the fda finding that there was asbestos in one sample of baby powder back in 2019. now, johnson & johnson, we sat down with one of its key lawyers, outside lawyers who has defended it in the courtroom, and we presented all of this to her. and she says flat-out there has never been asbestos in any of its baby powder, that its baby powder does not cause cancer. in terms of that fda finding, she said the fda's lab

but that's not in johnson's plan. so this is more of what johnson's plan is. if you do have an air campaign, this is what's discussed among the advisors. what do we need to do? what would a strategic air campaign do? well, first and foremost, we have this problem with this insurgency in the south, we have to find to stop it. and one thing we have to do is stop the north vietnamese support of that insurgency in the south so we could use bombs power to kind of send a message to to make persuade north vietnam to stop supporting the insurgency in the south. we want the status quo in north and south vietnam then that air power campaign could show to south vietnam. and i put it here in north vietnam and even our allies look at us resolve when we're in in this cold war environment, this our resolve against communism, then the more practical ideas are, hey, we need to do some kind of system of strategic destruction of north vietnamese ability to make war. and as we got in the text where, there are all the metaphors all the material really coming from for them to make

johnson: yeah.hink about it: when you are raised in a country that tells you that you are the descendants of a remarkable set of men that created a new country on the idea of equality and liberty and justice and democracy. and you are very proud of that heritage. and then suddenly people come along and say, wait a minute, that story's not complete. we were part of that story, too. and not only are they insisting to be part of the story, but now through demographics, through elections, through economics, they are acquiring more power that they didn't have in earlier versions of america. feels like losing money or physical security. it does not mean that they hold racial hatred or that they despise other folks, but it does mean that sense of loss will often cause some kind of backlash to sort of ensure that their stability of identity, of history, of heritage isn't interrupted. >> back at the lincoln memorial,a reminder of this country's willingness to tear itself apart over these questions, i asked j
