i think he calls it johnson and johnson. the nixon relationship was sort of like like it's like a cockfight between, sort of two roosters with sort of knives attached to their spurs, and they're circling other you know, they never take the eyes the other. but as long as the one doesn't strike, then no one gets bloodied. and i think that sort of sets up the idea know of the of the johnson nixon relationship. i again, i'm careful. i wouldn't say they were friends, but they were friendly. i wouldn't say that johnson supported nixon i would say he came to prefer him. and so it's it's a nuanced i mean these were these were longtime rivals, you know, who fought who ended the of many of each other's over many decades. but i think they came to see that they needed each other. so we're at the nixon library. we to uh let's talk about former vice. nixon. in the 1960s he lost the presidency in 1960 he lost a run for california governor in 1962. and yet through a meticulously strategy and not to mention his own sheer will in his own dete

lyndon johnson. it fulfills lbj, his primary goal that, the racist national origin system should be set aside that you can't have each country's should have equal terms in terms of the numbers of people that can legally immigrate to the united. there was there is this kind of surface equality. but what fegan has also added is that to qualify legal immigration, you only three options family reunification, you have to have fairly close family member. what called skilled employment and then also refugees. it's actually a very narrow door and the laws really emphasize family reunification and this was fegan strategy for trying to ensure that immigration continue to be predominantly the same as the majority population in the united states of course hasn't worked out right we know that the law has transformative and you know and lbj it what has also been transformative in that law and this criteria was added at the very last minute was that it also under the claim that. well be fully equal. we also have to

and johnson. nixon came to realize they needed each other in 1968, as much of america watched the chaos that year unfold on their televisions. the surprise tet offensive attack in vietnam against. our our forces at a time when americans were told the war was going better. how could this simultaneous coordinated attack be possible? the north korean seizure of the uss pueblo crew held captive and being negotiated for another year. you had eugene mccarthy's senator from minnesota. stunning entry into the race to challenge lyndon johnson. the first occurred to challenge johnson almost winning the new hampshire primary against lbj and then shortly after that, the entry of senator kennedy, the second major challenger from within johnson's own party. so that's a difference. six there are a lot of similarities with 68 that that would be a difference for today terms of, you know, one that sort of the senator level, a prominent challenger, you know, other than dean phillips and some lesser candidates have r

with johnson. he'd been longtime friends with nixon. he met him in the senate dining room in 1950 . he had known hubert humphrey, vice president for a long time , started in minneapolis and really the stars were ma aligned for graham. he knew eisenhower who was in retirement still. he dies in march 1969 so he's weak and 68 and letting most of the year at walter reed nh hospital but his endorsement is so extremely powerful because eisenhower is popular so graham knows all the key people involved. i would say almost each one here. he's a unique figure in the country who can be a liaison between them and pass messages and see what they're thinking. he even knew george wallace, the third-party candidate and he in his diary called wallace one of the greatest orators in the 20th century, his ability to attract followers. we will talk more about wallace, an antiestablishment candidate which both parties have minute but especially on the republican side of the aisle with donald trump is making a similar an

an example, johnson views nixon, here's johnson why would you prefer nixon? a lot of democrats in johnson's own party were pledging to get out at vietnam through with the withdrawal to end the war and pull our troops out. johnson feared he would bee the first president to lose a war and he didn't want that. he felt stronger on the great society, civil rights voting act and the library is to sell a t-shirt at the gift shop that has these words all over the back of their shirt. if you look carefully is the name of all the legislation that passed during the great society whether it be the environment whether it be education whether it be higher education, public schools are medicaid and medicare. a range of legislation that was unprecedented and surpassed a fierce new deal. johnson could only set a goal the site is president he want to complete not only candidates on fulfilled legacy which is what hemi did, becoming president afr his assassination but in a way completing his hero fdr's legacy. it's incredible. .. example, after after king's assassination on apri

iforgot katerina johnson—thompson. i forgot her name katerina johnson—thompson. was in gold position at the beginning of four events but ended up in silver after the 800 metres final this evening of the habitat one. she nearly made it. she was beaten by belgium's nafi thiam in such a close race. a difficult event this run over two days and she did so what to do what she did. it's herfirst ever olympic did so what to do what she did. it's her first ever olympic medal and she gets over to someone who knows a little bit about habitat once and indeed these types of events at big events like the olympics. joining me now from edinburgh is gabby pieraccini, an athletics journalist specialising in decathlon and heptathlon. at least you can recall names, i'm having trouble tonight. tell me this, how difficult is it to even get a silver medal in something like habitat on? it is get a silver medal in something like habitat on? , ., ., habitat on? it is one of the biggest achievements _ habitat on? it is one of the biggest achievements you _ habitat on? it is one of the bigg

no, they were not based out of the johnson space center. they were based out of langley research center. so that was not my focus. my focus was really to to focus in on the women who worked in houston, who were some of those women? yeah. so there are a lot of great women who work at the johnson space center. i wish that i had been able to include all of them, but i included 21 women. some of the more interesting women that i included dottie lee. she was a woman who was selected to be a computer back when women were computers. she worked for nasa's predecessor agency and they were referred to as computers. yes, they were referred to as computers. yeah. i think it's kind of confusing. someone wrote an article once when a computer was a skirt, you know, or wore a skirt excuse me. and so she was hired. she went to an all women school and she was hired as a computer. she studied mathematics. she had been interested in going to the moon in the thirties when people weren't even talking about that. buck rogers was was thinking about it, but no one

johnson's audio diary is fantastic. i highly encourage people to listen to it just to hear her talk about november 22nd and how it started out. a beautiful day is so poignant in the case. pat nixon at people forgets sometimes about the audio visual records. and in the 1972 republican convention, there is the last one to fall. and i recommend that everyone see she gets up to give a speech or for 8 minutes. she cannot. jimmy stewart introduces her. she gets a standing ovation. she looks back at him. he tries to get at ronald reagan. is there. she tries to he gets she almost walks away at one point because she can't say. anything continues. finally, after 8 minutes, she says very short comments. but the importance of that is 1972. it shows her tremendous popularity, her and her her incredible personality does come through in that audio visual segment, her graciousness, her humility. so i think that's a wonderful document. and then are wonderful audio visual statement of the classic speeches of first lady barbara bush at th

that was harry truman in 1952, march 29, and lyndon johnson in 1960 march 31. from an historical standpoint, march was the month to watch. it was early enough the democrats could still gather, they can organize before the convention. if you and i were to have this conversation just over a month ago, i would have said two of the biggest differences between 1968 and 2024 was this year the lack of political violence and the fact president biden did not appear to want to do what president johnson did in 1968, withdraw, and now two of those biggest differences have been erased. host: what are the biggest differences between the protests then and now? guest: it is fascinating. this is one of those issuesi'm sure we ever completely understand because protesters by definition do not leave a lot of records. if you are behind the barricades of a protest or cause, you are not reporting your movements and thoughts the way government officials might be at the time that you are opposed to in the protest. i would say the issues are different. in 1968, it was the vietnam war a

lyndon johnson and joe biden are not the only presidents who did not run for a second term. the 11th president of the united states, james polk, has died. three months after the end of his first term. james buchan was unpopular and had poor health at a time when the country was headed for civil war. kalyn kulich suffered from depression. harry truman decided to end office early after losing the first preliminary race because of the stalemate in the korean war and his desire to return to private life. oleksiy kovalenko, steve herman, voice of america, washington. the kurdish operation of the ukrainian armed forces did not lead to changes in military cooperation between ukraine and the united states. this was stated by pentagon deputy spokesperson sabrina singh during a briefing on monday. packages assistance, in accordance with the presidential powers, will continue - the official said. according to the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian armed forces oleksandr syrskyi, as of august 20, the armed forces of ukraine control more than 1,200.60 km of territory and 93 settlements

and lyndon johnson or john f. kennedy talk about him. he met with robert of kennedy, the attorney general, in may of 1963 and had a seminar discussion about civil rights, and his best-selling book in 1963, published as the longest essay, published in november of 1962, is one of the game changing documents for the second reconstruction, right there on letter from birmingham jail. he really transformed how we think about race and slavery and the american democracy and citizenship, and the very idea of the war on political groups in the united states forever. so baldwin is someone very key when you talk about the 1964 civil rights act, and today would have been his 100th birthday and it is important to recognize and remember him. caller: good morning, dr. joseph? guest: yes. caller: good morning, dr. joseph. i'm an avid fan -- i holly. and i follow your work. thank you christina bobb james baldwin. he is one of my heroes -- thank you. i follow your work. james baldwin is one of my heroes. with the 60th anniversary of the civil rights act, t

larry johnson, former cia analyst from brandington, florida. mr. johnson's uh, welcome to press tv. mr. johnson, the leader of the answer of love resistance movement says: israel's assassinations will not break or weaken the resolve of the resistance, but rather makes it stronger. now the question is, how true is that and why is that the case? we've got. 70 years plus of uh killing uh it's been predominantly on the israeli side, but you know it's also happened from the palestinian side, what we've seen is killing never brings an end to this, um, i think uh what we've seen out of the huties in yemen is one way where they're not killing people, boy they're certainly putting economic hurt on israel and... and demonstrating that the west is really powerless to stop them. who would have who would have imagined that a small country like yemen and very and even smaller group like the hootis could withstand the full might of the us navy and supported by european allies. they've been doing it now for nine months, eight months. it's remarkable. so, i, i think the hutis have shown that there's

you know, mike johnson, he's the one to push. that's 61000000000 dollar by is for your grades, so you're going to keep him happy. is it? so it's going to be very difficult for him. and you mentioned about the impeachment . yeah, that's a real possibility. i mean the lead people like lindsey graham and, and michael mccaul and all the rest of them. they're not just going to sit still and, and watch. uh you, ukraine, that's basically it all we, ukraine is being sold down the river when we're getting food and everything will be of george. we see the rushing gate rearing its ugly head. you can no rush. it gave him a get. okay, this is already up in the mix right now, martin, you know, it's interesting when we, when mike from pale we actually spoke at the, at the convention trying to, um, uh, uh, take on or uh, uh, approached re to himself what america 1st is, which is definitely the complete, diametrically opposed to what someone like from and well from what we know of a vans been there are other people around johnny ran flip robert o
