johnson: a typical johnson call. the other person does not really get in much. warren gets the message and calls goldberg. we tried for the recess appointment but it did not work out. he finally resigns in june of 1969. at which point, nixon nominates warren burger. a fairly conservative judge from the eighth circuit. he was based in minnesota to become chief justice of the supreme court. we replaced a white liberal chief justice with a fairly conservative chief justice. that creates a more conservative court. this is only nixon's first appointment. nixon will get to make four supreme court appointments in his first term. the second is an unexpected one. justice fortas. one of the great ironies of this is johnson, by trying to promote fortas from associate justice to chief justice gives the way for fortas to collapse entirely and be removed. the public had been exposed to this idea that fortas is a little ethically challenged. we have the $15,000 deal at american university. he seemed to be consulting with lbj inappropriately. it was clear this guy was not a par

generally, when it johnson would -- one johnson would call you, this -- generally, when johnson would call you, this was not a two way conversation. johnson was not soliciting information. he was basically encouraging you to think as he did. his first call goes to justice fortas. he wants to get feedback for who would be a good replacement for fortas as associate justice. johnson has already made up his mind and his job is to basically say yes. [video clip] thornberry has disadvantages. in fact, he was congress, city councilman, state legislator. i think it would be awfully good on the court. and knowing every department of this government. from the standpoint of the liberal press, they will not give me a fair trial. hello, i would be nominated on my record for several liberties sense of rights. but the times on the post are against me. because are anti-semitic. they are anti-south. it is because i live in texas. i don't have style. that is the only thing they have against me. i have adopted their platform. i know you've got to go. i've got to get some more -- how will you rate these

johnson recorded because johnson did deals on the phone. he was basically wanting commitments from people so he wanted a record in case people went back on him with his deals, he could say, look, you know, you told me on september 22 you were going to be with me and i have a recording of this. but no one else knew. so when the watergate hearings break, and the nixon tapes are revealed, the assumption at the time is that the only person who -- only president who had ever recorded was nixon, and then they kind of sheepishly come out that johnson and kennedy had also taped. there was a small amount of typing with eisenhower, roosevelt and fdr but insignificant amounts. for our purposes, these are incredible historical sources because they kind of bring us inside the oval office. there are no presidents who tape after nixon because they understand they could be subpoenaed. but you can imagine other technologies, email in the late 1980s and early 1990s, apparently the bush administration did a lot with emails because it was a new technology then

that is a pretty impossible standard to court lyndon johnson -- hold lyndon johnson two in the moment. that this guy ronald reagan of all the possible threat is in a lot of ways going to be the one who has the largest effects on his legacy. i would say that looking at history, i hope that in my current political reporting i will be more charitable toward politicians and understanding and the expectation of what they should understand about the country. remind me of the second half of your question. how is politics changed between the -- election and the -- election? jonathan: it has changed in a lot of ways, my book deals with the thousand days after the kennedy assassination which if he wants to look at a moment in time when politicians actually got stuff done as opposed to what i think we all feel like today where they cannot get anything done, it is a fantastic moment. leadership johnson in the presidency you have the transformative legislation on civil rights with the civil rights act of 1964 end of the voting rights act of 1965. you have the passage of medicare, you have importan

johnson demanding loyalty. two candidates were able to distinguish themselves. >> but let me just say, it is interesting if you look on the republican side, it is not only richard nixon running but you have romney. romney was trying to position himself as anti-war. it leads us to what we will remember in george romney's presidential run, he says he has been brainwashed by the general and political leaders about what is going on in vietnam. it alienated some of the silent majority base. they wanted to see the war continued into when the war. romney thought that he could outflank nixon by be in the anti-war republican turnout he hurt himself with his base and he was never able to challenge richard nixon after that. then you have people like harold stafford, rockefeller is in that mix. guess who, ronald reagan is in that mix. ronald reagan is the strongest conservative as opposed to richard nixon at the miami convention. it ultimately, it comes down to reagan and rockefeller knocking each other out and allowing ri

what does johnson do? he pins his opinion on natural law, not on what thomas jefferson condemned as john marshall's habit of twisted vacation -- twistifications and distortion of the constitution. johnson gave an explanation which is not credible. he wanted to talk about the difference between the obligation of contract and the regulation. problems with that -- it is quite frankly they make place quibble. first in a fletcher, marshall expressly said the states may regulate. two years later in a companion case he said it more elaborately than in 1827 in his only dissent, marshall talked about no inconsistency between the normal regulation of contract and the notion of the contract clause and the extinguishment, the revocation of a agreement. the superficial explanation is a placeholder. the true explanation is his attempt to try and walk this fine line, to find a way to be true to his principles which were a blend of robust marshall nationalism and a respect for states rights. to do it in the light of all s

that was lyndon johnson. by the way, the goldwater -- not senator goldwater part of that speech, it was written by a number of people, it was written by bill moiers. he wrote that back and forth and there was a call and response kind of thing that really kind of caught on. that was an early one, of that kind of speech and worked really well. >> and call and response? >> yeah, not senator goldwater, the crowd responded. >> it was also senator goldwater -- excuse me, senator humphrey had ambitions for the presidency for quite a while, toyed with it in '52, made a real bid in '60 and here he was at the convention accepting the vice presidential nomination. you could see how excited he was in the moment. hearing the nickname the happy warrior, he loved politics. >> he loved politics and he got in trouble later for calling it the politics of joy. he was joyful about politics. and he believed it was a way to do better in the country, to change the country and he believed in it in a very innocent and -- we might thi

well-known products produced by johnson & johnson. johnson & johnson is also a giant and many other areas taking a leading role in preparing a vaccine for covid-19. it's ceo is alex gorsky, a west point trained former military man who has done an incredible job over the last eight years making this company the most valuable health care company. some people say the most commonly spoken words in the english language today are can you hear me because of the zoom phenomenon but i assume in your case, the most commonly asked question is when is the vaccine coming? you must be getting ask this every hour on the hour. when is relaxing coming? alex: it's usually about every 15 minutes i get asked that. i could not be more proud of the incredible work that our scientists and engineers have been doing over the past nine months to put us in the position where we are today with a vaccine. to think what would ordinarily take five or seven years we have been able to do any matter of months is quite remarkable. without their hard work and 40,000 or,

lyndon johnson didn't do that. but lyndon johnson still had tremendous clout in the south. jack kennedy had weaknesses, both because of the catholic issue and because of the civil rights issue and because the south was trending back for the first time really to the republican party. the south had broken loose on the 1952 and 1956 elections when eisenhower took a bunch of states. and it could slide even more under jack kennedy. so you have to play nice with lyndon johnson if you were jack kennedy. but does he? he makes the joe biden choice. he takes the safe choice, initially. somebody who maybe can't hurt you, but someone that's not going to help you. he asks to offer the vice presidency in private to a senator from missouri named stuart simonton. simonton accepts, but the courts made public jack kennedy will wheelsic, jack kennedy's start rolling and says no, i really should as a courtesy offer this to lyndon. he's not going to take it. [laughter] he is senate majority leader. he lives for power. he's not going to be vice president. this is, you know, john bamberger who wa

what is interesting about johnson is there's a plot to kill not just lincoln but johnson, the secretary of state seward and others. the first time the cabinet sees andrew johnson after the drunken tirade is when he shows up at the petersen house. he is told by one cabinet member he is making mary todd lakin uncomfortable needs to leave. everybody knows that lakin is about to die and johnson is going to be president and by all accounts he should have been treated as president that moment that he was asked to leave because he was making the first lady uncomfortable. storyason i said is the of two assassinations, it is not until the controversial election of 1876 you have an to end -- you have an aunt to reconstruction. so that's when you really start to get jim crow and some of the active segregation laws. then fast forward to the republican convention of 1880 and a duel between ulysses grant for a third time and james blaine and all the delegates get tired of it. on the 30th ballot, someone shouts out james garfield's name . garfield was there as a campaign chief and there's momentum tha

pm johnson: mr.sy commitment for me to make, and i am delighted to do so. i can tell my honorable friend that we are investing nearly £20 million through our city deal in pioneering a new programme of sustainable low-carbon and low-cost heat energy to stoke-on-trent. sarah owen: three weeks ago the prime minister stood at that dispatch box praising luton as the only place to have come out of local restrictions, but praise does not pay the bills. luton's proud industries of manufacturing, aviation and events cannot get by on soundbites and figures that bear no relation to what is really happening to jobs and businesses. he knows that entire industries are at stake, so is his inaction indifference or incompetence? will he support businesses and areas that need it throughout this crisis? pm johnson: yes, indeed, mr. speaker, i thank the people of luton for their hard and heroic work, as i thank people across the country for what they are doing. i want to support businesses in luton, and that is why we w

let's take a look at a statement that johnson and johnson put out. they said, serious adverse events, which say fancy way of saying a participant getting sick, are not uncommon in clinical trials and the number of serious adverse events can reasonably be expected to increase in trials involving large numbers of participants. so let's unpack that a little bit. essentially what johnson and johnson is saying whether you start vaccinating or including in your trial tens of thousands of people, somebody is going to get sick. it's just a numbers game. you're pretty much including in your trial kind of like a small town, somebody's going to get sick. but to be clear, these trials only get paused when there's a concern that that illness might be related to the vaccine. if somebody, for example, gets breast cancer, you don't pause the trial, the breast cancer wasn't cause of the vaccine. so this is something where there's enough concern that it might be related to the vaccine that they decided to pause the trial. now, this is not the first trial that's been p

does this look like a major setback for johnson and johnson do you think or just a temporary hitch. no i think it's much too early to judge that this sort of event not infrequently happens in very large vaccine trials i think there's of the order of $60000.00 people in the johnson and johnson trial if an event that they don't have an immediate explanation for occurs in people who've received the vaccine then they may want to cause to actually investigate that event further to see if it might be related to the vaccine this happens not infrequently in large scale clinical trials you can imagine that if you were to telephone 60000 people. and then telephone them again a week later and asked them if any of them had been sick in that week it's likely that some would say they were had been sick in that we wouldn't necessarily say that that was associated with your 1st telephone call so these things happened when you studied large populations and it's it's too early to judge i'm sure for them to judge which is why there was the drywall whether this is related to the vaccine or not and the

president trump is significantly older than johnson. johnson is 56. trump is nearly 20 years older. so well wishes are pouring in from around the world and around washington. here's speaker of the house nancy pelosi. >> of course as with everyone, we all receive that news with great sadness. i always pray for the president's family that they're safe. and i know that he'll have the best of care. and that's what we want for everyone in our country. >> you can't really caulk about the president having covid-19 without addressing the fact that he has routinely dismissed the dangers of coronavirus. yesterday a cornell study said he was the biggest single source of misinformation about coronavirus in the entire world. even speaker pelosi, who is a pious catholic says the president has made fun of pelosi's claims of prayer. the president's made fun of joe biden for wearing a mask. you're going to see that in a minute. the president four years ago today exactly four years ago today almost down to the hour october 2nd, 2016, made fun of hillary clinton falling ill from pneumonia on the campa
