[applause] i am so proud that this past in the johnson administration. harry truman of missouri planted the seeds of compassion and beauty which have today flowered into care for the sick and serenity for the fearful. many men can make many proposals. many men can draft many laws. but few have the piercing and human eye which can see beyond the words and to the people that they touch. you can see past the speeches, the political battles, to the doctor over there that is tending the infirm and to the hospital that is receiving those in anguish. or feel in their heart painful wrath at the injustice which denies the miracle of healing to the old enter the poor -- and to the core -- poor. and still have the courage to state reputation and position and the effort of a lifetime on such a cause when there are so few that share it. it is just such men who illuminate the life and the history of the nation. and so president harry truman, it is in tribute not to you, but to the america that you represent, that we have come here to pay our love and our respects. for

to all of these fronts -- and a dozen more -- i will dedicate the expanding efforts of the johnson administrationpplause] [applause] but there are other answers that are still to be found. nor do we fully understand even all of the problems. therefore, i want to announce tonight that this fall i intend to call a white house conference of scholars, and experts, and outstanding negro leaders -- men of both races -- and officials of government at every level. this white house conference's theme and title will be "to fulfill these rights." [applause] its object will be to help the american negro fulfill the rights which, after the long time of injustice, he is finally about to secure. to move beyond opportunity to achievement. to shatter forever not only the barriers of law and public practice, but the walls which bound the condition of many by the color of his skin. [applause] to dissolve, as best we can, the antique enmities of the heart which diminish the holder, divide the great democracy, and do wrong -- great wrong -- to the children of god. and i pledge you tonight that this will be a chief go

all of the, all of the political haggling and things that came through the andrew johnson administration. there is almost nothing else that anybody remembers about johnson these days. but johnson thought that he was following in the steps of his predecessor. there's just one thing, though -- he was in such a hurry to declare peace and not victory. in time of peace, you know nothing further could be done to impose the federal will on a defeated south. abraham lincoln would not have thought that way. abraham lincoln considered emancipation one of his great achievements, and that was a large number of people affected by that. he would never have declared victory without taking steps to guarantee the permanence of the strides made for civil rights. he would never let slavery return under a different name. for johnson and for an appalling number of people, north and south, they just did not seem to care as i think lincoln would have cared. they had had enough of war and strife. the danger had passed and with the danger passing, the emergency passed. all those emergency measures were no longer

it was a tactic revealed in the pentagon papers years earlier that the johnson administration considered but declined. nixon appeared to using it however, along the red river to slowly inflict damage on the capital of the north hanoi. "nixon is aiming at the one most vulnerable point, since it is an agrarian society, and that is their crops, their lands, their agriculture." fonda eventually accepted a north vietnamese invitation to see the damage herself. "anyone who has seen the dikes knows that, first of all that the vietnamese wouldn't be foolish enough to build any defense installations on the dikes. these are in the middle of rice paddies. it's virtually impossible. you have to wade through mud to get there." many in the administration felt the vietnamese were using fonda as their own propaganda tool and that fonda's harsh criticism of nixon's strategies was harming the war effort. and she didn't do herself any favors on the last day of her trip. visiting a group of north vietnamese troops, she sat in the gunner seat of an anti-aircraft gun - one that likely had at least shot at ame

the largest single number of these kinds of pardons or commutation of sentences since the johnson administrationbut there's a bigger picture here as well because all week the president is focusing on reforming the criminal justice system. for example, just here, if you look at the 35,000 people, that makes up a total of about 16% of the federal prison population so you know how many non-violent drug offenders there are. tomorrow, he is going to travel to philly. he will speak -- be speaking to the naacp convention about reforming the criminal justice system. and on thursday, he is going to do something that no sitting president has ever done before. he is going to go inside a federal prison and going to sit down and he is going to talk to some of the inmates. but in the meantime, they will continue to look through these tens of thousands of application and the president in the meantime, has sent personal letters to each of the 46 inmates whose sentences he today commuted. jim? >> nbc's chris jansing. thanks so much. >>> with virginia's budget in the black, raises are in the works for thousands o

peace and quiet to the white house and to the nation after the war and then the years of the johnson administration. and so, those were grant's initial efforts to -- as he took office. susan swain: and what -- the other -- those were the themes -- we brought -- we were looking at his inaugural -- the first inaugural address. william seale: uh-huh. susan swain: these were the themes that he struck when he spoke to the nation for the first time? william seale: yes. and also, he had the added advantage of being a hero. famous even in the south, if he wasn't beloved, but everywhere else -- i mean, a million young men tried to imitate his stance -- his particular stance he had. and he was wildly popular and clean. he was clean. nothing dirty attached to him. so, i think he was a natural. susan swain: the country was ready for him, in other words. william seale: ready for him. susan swain: so, talk about the susan: so, talk about the first lady herself. she had been the wife of a general, and that brings certain sorts of skill sets along with it. what did she bring to the role in the white house? william

number of commutations issued by a president on a single day dating back to at least the johnson administrationhis brings to i believe it's 89 that's the number of people who have received a commutation from the president of the united states and that is more than the number of commutations issued by the four previous presidents combined. >> getting a flavor of what's going on on the white house on these 46 drug commutations for people many engaged in drug offenses. i want to go back to iran because it's a significant moment. ambassador nick burns, former u.s. undersecretary of state for political affairs. what does your gut tell you? deal or no deal? >> my gut tells me it will be a deal. but it's not surprising. the final yards, the final meters are always the most difficult. we see that in many negotiations. i think this issue of the arms embargo is an important issue in two respects. one, iran is making a major push for power in the sunni world right now. senator coons said in the syria,'re, lebanon and gaza. this is not the time to lift the arms embargo. the administration needs to look bey

pamela: the oldest son had received an appointment to west point under johnson's administration, so he was coming and going. but the younger children were still there. and julia talked about -- over that dining room table how ulysses sometimes with the kids would play around, play games and take pieces of bread and roll it into a ball, into dough, and throw it at the kids, at the boys, and play with them. she disapproved. but she also recalled upstairs in the white house, in the private family area, all of the children and ulysses coming into her room about a half-hour before dinner and they would all just sit and talk and visit and share their day's comings and goings and the events. and she recalled that very fondly. pamela:william: they were very lenient parents. i think fred was the most disciplined, and then buck or ulys, the second one, ulysses, a little less, and then jesse, he actually talked back. he could -- he could checkmate a lot of things his father said. and they just thought it was funny. i don't think it hurt any of them in later life. susan: here's our first caller. i

has the administration reached out to that family? sectretary johnson: i am sorry, i don't know the answer to that question, sir. senator chabot: i would just note that the administration has reached out in a whole range of criminal cases around the country. and i'm not being critical of them having done that. i think certainly there are times when the administration should do that. but there are also times -- perhaps they need to do that. sectretary johnson: i don't know the answer. senator chabot: could you check into that? sectretary johnson: speaking for myself, i have developed a practice of reaching out to every sheriff or commissioner in chief who has had a law enforcement officer who has died in the line of duty myself. i write a letter personally. senator chabot: my understanding is they have not, but i would ask the administration check into that. i'm almost out of time. how long has our border with mexico -- how long is a reporter with mexico? sectretary johnson: 2700 miles. senator chabot: and how much of the fence is complete? sectretary jo

do the anti poverty programs of the johnson administration actually work? and increasingly the answer they came up with was no, they don't work. and they began to work on the idea of the limits to which social policy can transform a political situation. but they always did it in a nonracial way. they had this idea of the culture of poverty in the '60s was very influential idea. the theory that the reason people are poor is because they're not conducive to getting out of poverty. the idea that you need to have an orientation towards the future a willingness to delay your gratification to a subsequent date. a willingness to take rigorous courses to education. this is what america's poor people black and white don't do. ft one of the contributors was michael harrington. and this idea of a cull clur of poverty could be applied impartially to black and white populations was one of the things that the conservatives were very enthusiastic about. and they also said why is it? here's one of the great puzzles of the period why is it after a long period followed final

came to washington in 1980, clarke clifford that longtime democrat fixer, attorney, truman, johnson administration figure, opined that reagan was nothing more than an amiable dunce. you remember that quote. >> yes. >> would you speak to that -- >> i can. >> the truth or not truth of that? >> yes. well, he definitely got half of it right. reagan was amiable. [laughter] actually i'll elaborate on that a little bit because reagan did have that emotional reserve that i talked about. reagan seemed to be amiable from a distance. if you saw him on television, you'd think here's somebody i'd like to get to know have a beer with. but, in fact the closer people got to reagan the more they realized that there was this coolness in his heart. reagan had almost no friends aside from nancy. there were people that he associated with, but he never let his guard down sufficiently to let people close. about the dunce part, i became convince ared, first of all, that reagan was no dummy. he knew a lot more than people thought he knew. now, i'm going to tell you something that i got. i did interviews with pretty much e

unfortunately, the administration has taken neither of these crucial steps to keep our communities safe. prior to secretary johnson'sppointment, dhs under the obama administration went beyond simple non-enforcement and took the leap of granting administrative amnesty to a class of hundreds of thousands of unlawful aliens. then, last november, secretary johnson announced that dhs would grant such "deferred action" to over four million more unlawful aliens. by granting these classes of people deferred action, he would bestow benefits such as legal presence, work authorization and access to the social security trust fund and the earned income tax credit. it is within the constitutional authority of congress, not the administration, to grant such benefits to classes of unlawful aliens. 26 states believe that secretary johnson's planned grant of deferred action en mass would cause them irreparable harm. they challenged the plan in federal court. the judge agreed with the states and has granted a temporary injunction. the court stated that the administration is "not just rewriting the laws, it is creating them from scratc

unfortunately the administration has taken neither of these crucial steps to keep our communities safe. prior to secretary johnson's appointment, dhs under the obama administration went beyond simple non-enforcement and took the leap of granting amnesty to a class of hundreds of thousands of unlawful aliens. then it was announced it would be granted to more than four million more unlawful aliens. by granting them deferred action we would bestow access to the social security trust fund and the earned income tax credit. it is within the constitutional authority of congress, not the administration, to grant such benefits to classes of unlawful ally ally ally -- aliens status. 26 states challenged this ruling and has been granted a temporary injunction. the court stated the administration is not just rewriting the laws but creating them from scratch. an appeals court rejected the administration's request of a stay against injunction. while the injunction is waited for the defered action is a healthy development for the constitution the court was clear it was not interfering in any way with secretary johnson's non enfor

on his part and also by the staff that totally failed him. >> shame on jeh johnson, awful and the administrationecause they had an opportunity here to grow and do the right thing and reach out and they chose not to and it involves federal policy so would have been appropriate for them to make a comment. >> and would have ended it for them. the family would not talking about it and say, yes, they call called us and we appreciate it. >> now it's become part of the story which is the problem. what do you think, greg? >> there's an interesting hick pock kra si. these crimes are but a small number but are they smaller than the number of police incidents that the media has used to smear an entire profession? no. they are much larger and raises another question what is a story? if you notice other networks doing the immigration issue, they prefer the trump angle over the hard truth of this homicide. why is that? because the hard truth of that reveals the consequences of certain beliefs they actually share whereas the trump story provides a sanctuary for attacks on people that they disagree with. you're

republican ron johnson said the obama administration is trying to snuff out school choice in the district. here's what he said next. this is a quote. of course president obama sends his children to private school as did al gore and bill clinton. he goes onto say they just don't want to let those idiot inner city kids that they purport to be to supportive of that they say they help out, they don't want to give them the same opportunity their own kids tr v. it's disgraceful. he says it was obviously sarcasm. the senator faces a tough reelection next year. >> we could see been learning even more about hillary clinton's use of e-mail when she was with the obama administration. the justice department being asked toitive government information was sent from her private e-mail account. tracie potts reports on the latest twist on this story. >> reporter: two inspectors general from the state department are recommending a criminal probe into whether or not classified information was stored on hillary clinton's private e-mail server. we don't know if she's the target of the probe. in fact, the just

president in the 1960's the johnson administration led congress to start allot ago small amount of money of federal funding from the federal taxpayers to target schools and reach out for the poorest of the poor in america to try to help beat poverty back. five decades later we have an education policy in america that reaches out to every single school district in america millions of kids that continue to fail them, to fail their parents, and still have not solved the poverty issue. what we have is an ever-increasing federal bureaucracy that's reached well beyond what it was designed for in the 1960's. and i was sure it reaches well beyond what it was originally designed for, something that would just help the poorest of the poor and take care of kids on military bases and those on indian tribal bases. the goal was good, make sure ever child in america has the opportunity for success every teacher had teaching qualifications and every school had accountability. it was approved through 2008. it still continues today. math reading and science now measured in adequate yearly progress for eac

is it's been focused and i see a lot of parallels with between this administration and the johnson administrationresidency we see him getting into afghanistan because it a popular political issue for him and like lyndon johnson he has very ambitious domestic agenda for his policies are intended in many respects to keep international affairs on the front page and we see those coming in more and more and one of the reasons for that is it puts you in a reactive foreign policy and so you are not proactively pursuing some kind of a strategy which i think ultimately again eventually over time will come back to bite you. we also have certainly in the obama administration the impulse that says we don't need to spend as much on the military. we can use civilian power soft power which is where the term smart power comes in and we will use less of the hard power. that's been a big part of the administration policies and also the idea that we could use the special operations as the hardcover instrument we could afford to cut down that have been central to this approach and we've seen examples where we come a

johnson: the administration certainly did not offer any kind of support for a more robust review process and you have certainly circumvented this congress by undermining our review process by having security council's approved this, is that true? sec. kerry: on the contrary, and this is a long time process over several centuries of executive -- of political agreements between countries. sen. johnson: so this is more than political agreement -- i want to go on. secretary moniz, if iran wants a peaceful nuclear program there is no reason for them to have to enrich uranium, is there? sec. moniz: clearly, there is uranium available on the international market. sen. johnson: if they wanted a peaceful program, there is no need for them to enrich uranium. for example, when south africa and libya gave up their nuclear programs to be welcomed into the world of nations in a more normal fashion, they completely give up enrichment. we dismantled that. that is what we -- sec. moniz: i believe that is the case, especially with south africa, because they had a weapons program that was his mental. if i

think as of today it is the largest number issued by a president on a single day from the johnson administration and. 89 is the number of people who have received a commendation from the president of united states that is actually more than issued by the four previous presidents combined so he has taken bold action with the of connotations but the point you are raising is a different story. but those point is entirely legitimate. there are significant reforms to be implemented in the criminal-justice system. the president is hopeful he can work with democrats and republicans on capitol hill with the solution in to address those inequities he doesn't want to rely on his abilities of the united states but is hopeful we can develop and implement a and legislative solution to have a broader more far reaching impact to the criminal justice system. >> how will that work? i assume you're pretty confident? >> we do have confidence they will be saved. there will be unique steps that we will take to ensure the safety of the president and others who will be participating in that event. but it is the opport

warmonger and the attacks on him in congress in the latter days of his administration reminded me a great deal of the attacks on lyndon johnson at the end of his administration over the vietnam war. similarities there. >> james k. polk was president when? and tell us the four things he promised to do. we'll go back over the details. what were the four things he promised to do? >> he was president from 1844, one year president by his choice, he said i will not run for election. and he would not accept any suggestion, and many democrats pushed him to run again. about the week of his inaugural he told his friend, george bancroft who was to be his secretary of navy, great historian, he said bancroft, there are four things i want to do that will be my great measures -- one we will lower the tariff. controversial issue. two, we will create an independent treasury. we'll take all the government's money out of these corrupt private banks which pay us no interest, and we'll put those funds in private vaults to pay the bills meet the payroll. three, we will take california and we'll take oregon. that will make us from sea to shining se

jeh johnson admitted the obama administration does not force local authorities to comply with federal immigration law. >> there were 4,000 detainers that were not acted upon. >> why don't you make the detainers mandatory. if cities like san francisco are not complying with federal detainers why don't you make them mandatory. >> that would be a huge setback in our ability to work with state and local authorities. >> how much does the secretary know about the horrible murder of kate steinle? >> reporter: it didn't sounds like he knew a whole lot. secretary johnson mispronounced her name. then he answered a question about a possible condolence call to the family with a surprising question of his own. >> has the administration reached out to the steinle family to your knowledge? >> to who? >> to the family of the woman who was brutally murdered by this individual who had committed seven different felonies in 40s different states who had -- in four different states and kept coming back. has the administration reached out to that family? >> can i'm sorry i don't know the answer to that ques

then you see our administration and jay johnson who didn't even know who steinle was, shocking at thee of the press conference. what do you think? >> i think dana's right. so the president has dictated a memo saying we don't want to call it islamic terror or call it radical islam. he doesn't want to link the two together. anywhere jay johnson works for the president the unfortunately he's supposed to work for us too. he's the one who's supposed to keep us safe. secretary of homeland security. if you can't even call it what it is i think we're really in trouble. the president may not want to call it that. that's fine. but when the guy who's charged with keeping us safe can't even recognize it how is he going to fight it? >> there's something about this guy that does not make me feel say. he makes me feel like getting in bed with a little flashlight under the covers. really? >> hey. >> you said this before. abis anything but islam syndrome which has infected the white house. but when it comes to over kinds of behavior or other kinds of crime, it's anything but personal responsibility sy

. >> and here is jay johnson on the family: >> has the administration reached out to that family? >> i don't know the answer to that question. >> the administration has reached out in a whole range of homicide cases criminal cases around the country and i am not being critical of them having done that i think certainly there are times when the administration should do that. >> perhaps after someone called for it the administration may pick up the phone? >> good luck. i don't know if he watches your show or not -- i kind of doubt it. >> we are not the only ones talking about it. >> you should keep talking about it. when the college professor was stopped by the cop going into his own home the president spoke about it spoke about ferguson -- he is involved -- >> why wouldn't the president call the family? >> i have no idea. highlights his failure as the president. >> i worked with our brain room this morning to come up with through our own ice officials how many sanctuary cities for are in america. some 300 jurisdictions that don't cooperate with ice detainers meaning they will not h

administration. he managed to retrieve some of the powers to the presidency that had been lost during the johnson and the grant administrations. he appointed his own cabinet. he made a number of other controversial appointments without congress's blessing. he was -- he brought the country together -- when they did their traveling throughout the country, the hayeses wanted to include the south and the west and new england. at the time, he felt that the nomination of james garfield and garfield's election was a sign that he could have been elected had he chosen to run for a second term in office, so he felt that the corner had been turned and the republican party was now swinging back. susan swain: he was the -- they were the most traveled president to date. is that right? the first couple? thomas culbertson: the hayeses traveled thousands of miles, almost always together. they were the first to go to the west coast during their term in office. susan swain: and was there extensive press coverage of their travels? allida black: yes, there was. but can i just go back to, to just say two other things abou

number of communtations issued by a president on a single day dating back to at least the johnson administration and this brings to -- i believe it's 89, that's the number of people who have received a communtation by the president of the united states and that's actually more than the number of communtations issued by the four previous presidents combined. so the president has taken operate bold action when it comes to communtations. i think the point you're raising -- so the pardons is a bit of a different story i think the point you're raising, however, is an entirely legitimate one and that is there are significant reforms that need to be implemented into our criminal justice system. and the president is hopeful that he can work with democrats and republicans in -- on capitol hill to advance a legislative solution to address some of those inequities. he doesn't want to have to rely on his constitutional authorities as president of the united states to offer communtations. he actually is hopeful that we can develop and implement a legislative solution that would have a broader, more far-reach
