as lbj, similar thing.ain way, he was so driven, so larger-than-life, but also so passionate about civil rights and poverty, trying to make america a better place. it is a mixture of this earnestness and unapologetic preachiness, mixed with really funny attitude and dialogue. john: our deep thanks to our good friend jay roach. "trumbo" opens tomorrow, and look for "all the way" in 2016. when we come back, dick nixon and hillary clinton. right after this. ♪ ♪ mark: a widely respected journalist, a great biographer and historian and bloomberg view contributor. he has a master opus on bloomberg.com about hillary clinton's nixonian roots. sam, welcome. tell us how hillary clinton got tied up with richard nixon. sam: her introduction to american politics, beltway politics, not working on campaigns, her first picture of politics was when she was on the judiciary committee, the house judiciary committee that drew up the articles of impeachment for richard nixon in 1974. she worked for a guy named john doerr, vanis

it is interesting i went from playing -- from lbj to dalton trumbo back to lbj, and there are a lot ofilarities between the men. if you drew a venn diagram, the comparisons are remarkable. charlie: larger than life. bryan: larger-than-life. they are both big storytellers. they both have hearty laughs. they love to indulge. they did not take care of their bodies. they were hyper-focused on their profession. they were extremely good at it, both of them. they were both very prolific, both ambitious as hell. both had a lot of downside. charlie: insecurities. bryan: insecurities -- an emptiness, a desire to be respected and loved, and exceedingly talented. charlie: what part of you misses walter? bryan: i do not miss walter white. charlie: even though it changed your life. bryan: i miss the people connected to it. the reason i do not miss walter white is that "breaking bad" had a beautiful beginning, middle, and end. it is like if you had a great meal, and then somebody brought you more dessert -- no. it kind of ruins it. it was good where it was. leave it at that and walk away proud. charl

of course, lbj is eavesdropping because the cia has wiretapped the south vietnamese and it was pretty bad, but, but the scholars now think that there was no way that president was going to take the deal anyway. advisers were all against it. even though nixon was doing this it didn't really make any difference because he wasn't going to take the deal. it probably didn't really change things because she wasn't going to take the deal. >> imagine in nixon were a democrat and congress would be investigating that? >> oh, my god. in those days there was both sides would dig up dirt on the other and usually not use it. i remember -- i'm sofas nateed chief of dirt digger for lbj, he was digging -- used to dig up dirt on -- used to keep the dirt, so both sides -- each side up dug up. but they often didn't use it. mutual assured destruction. they didn't do it. johnson never even though he had evidence of the treason but threatened to use it but never used it. >> let's start getting to the watergate area. >> now you went around calling information on that era. >> i didn't listen to every one. one

lbj -- what have you learned into this deep dive into lyndon baines johnson?ryan: it is an important part of american history -- the voters right act of 1965, civil it was at of 1964 -- landmark legislation that changed how we live, and it also forced us to look at ourselves in the mirror and say "look at what we have been doing to a cross-section of american citizens. look how we have been treating them." how dare us. the unmitigated discussed of how we were treating other human beings. it was not a pretty picture to look at. there was a lot of resistance to it. he did it, not because he thought it would leave a legacy of greatness -- i truly believe he thought it was the right thing to do. he had an experience when he was a young man, fresh out of college, and got a job in elementary school, -- in an elementary school with these kids to did not have shoes, did not eat very much, but they were so eager to learn. they were attentive and desperate to break out, and he loved these children. and in the town, this little texas town, there was a lot of prejudice ag

>> the assumption among the kennedy intimates was that lbj was totally unbeatable in 1968. and bobby would run in 1972. >> the anti-war movement needed a leader and it fell to eugene mccarthy. >> very nice to meet you. >> nice to meet you. >> senator, president johnson supporters say you don't have a chance in new hampshire and you'll be lucky to get 10% of the vote. what do you say about that? >> well, i don't know. the people supporting me said we'll do better than that. >> one democrat, senator eugene mccarthy -- >> eugene mccarthy does something that's taboo. he comes out against a sitting president from the same party. >> mccarthy came in from left field. he was not thought of in the front rank of presidential contenders. but there was a great deal of frustration and even despair among the young. eugene mccarthy gave them hope. >> how many volunteers for senate mccarthy? >> i'm ready to vote in the primary. >> from nbc news election central in manchester, new hampshire, this is the news. >> if mccarthy gets as much as 30% of the vote or more against an incumbent presid

bush flies to see lbj.s thinking about running for senate and lbj says, the difference between being a member of the senate and a member of the house is the difference between chicken salad and chicken [ bleep ]. then there's the legendary moment the day after christmas 1973 when 27-year-old george w. bush crashes into some trash cans after a night of drinking. barbara bush sends george w. to go see his father. "i understand you want to see me" w. says. "you want to go right here?" george h.w. bush lowers the book he's reading and looks his son in the eye. the silent stare, meacham writes, send george w. back out of the room. it looks as though ronald reagan is going to pick gerald ford to be his vice president, not george h.w. bush. george said, this isn't fair, dad, it isn't fair to you. his dad tells jeb, "what are you talking about fair? nobody owes us a damn thing." fast forward eight years george h.w. bush is about to pick his own vice president. he learns donald trump has mentioned his availability a

here's a phone call, lbj wasn't the only politician in the family. let's listen. >> i hope you have a wonderful new year. and wait a minute. a.w. wants to speak on behalf of me and wesley and a few of them here after this girl talks to you. >> all right. >> senator? >> honey, how are you? >> i'm fine. >> seeing you and approval that i want more of yours and in the paper. >> there's nobody's approval that i want more than yours. >> oh lord, what a politician. no wonder lyndon johnson is president. >> what's behind all that syrup? syrup. so much syrup there. >> she was a tough person. you see that from the first essay she wrote in school and many of the conversations with him. but when she wanted to turn on the charm, she was a real people pleaser. i mean, and he used her, lyndon used her for that. on air force one, coming back from dallas that day in 1963, they called rose kennedy which must have been a really tough call to make and who did lyndon put on the phone to make it seem to be gracious and warm and in that difficult time? lady bird. he did it

lbj didn't back in the 1960's and lieberman did it recently and john kerry has done it. it depends on the cycle. some people will run for both. we're here to win. we are not messing around and are not here to play games and we're here to win iowa and we have worked hard. i think we have the best ground game of any campaign out there. i might be a little bit biased. with a strong ground game. i saw senator grassley back in the senate one day and he said i lived a long barren road and look what they put on my door. somebody from our team had been to his door. there was a leaflet somewhere out in the middle of wherever he is. i think he lives in a remote area. they have gotten to his door and left a leaflet and he was impressed we had a good ground game. >> coming up, a rand paul says we can cut our military spending and still be safe. -- rand paul says democrats running for the problem. the u.s. now has boots on the ground in syria. is that a mistake? you have wanted to disentangle the u.s. military around the world. how bad is it and how do you manage that if you become p

lbj and remarkable experiences that lbj had in the house and then running the senate.of the united states, he knew how to pass historic reforms. on the right, you look at ronald reagan who ran a union. it was an actor's union. ran a union. went around the country for a decade talking on the chicken and mashed potatoes circuit for general electric and got connected to middle america and then he ran one of the biggest and most complex states for eight years. and then you look at who is running now and certainly on the republican side the top is filled with novices and it seems like most of the second tier are a couple guys who got into the second and they got into the senate and started running for president of the united states. there aren't the liberal lions of the senate or conservative lions of the senate and one of the things i complained about is republicans, my party, they don't want to get elected. go to the senate and learn how to become good senators and actually change washington from inside out. >> i couldn't agree with you more, joe. i think there's somethin

tom clark stepped down, lbj nominates thurgood marshall-doesn't tell a single senator until the day of the nomination. a month later, former justice tom clark and his wife, are sent first class tickets around the world on a fact-finding mission. >> nice way to retire. >> yeah. >> what was the tone of the hearings from the outset? did you get the impression in doing your research -- and you told me your research was done mostly through transcript. is there a reason you relied on the transcript in doing your research of the confirmation hearing? >> well, let me correct that. in case some of my miami students are out there. >> okay. >> i went and tracked down as many people as i could. shoe leather, old-fashioned shoe leather. but the spine of the book, as you rightly said, is the hearings, and the hearings from the outset -- james eastland, mississippi, the chairman, allowed the media in there on the first day for 30 minutes and that's it. he said, get out. that would never happen today. >> no. >> but he said, get out. and so they weren't there. and you've asked me how come some of these

lbj left a list of all the dead young soldier. nixon was very moved by that. he was not casual about sending young men into battle. >> host: text messaged him as a new congressman in 1947, nixon toured europe. what cities is the visit and why? >> guest: he went on a mission to help rebuild europe. europe was in brothels in 1946, 37 and nixon went in a congressional nation. they went to berlin. i think they went to vienna. they went to whatever cities they could in eastern europe and they saw the shock of the war and they saw how bad europe was. that united states need to spend a lot of money to rebuild and the marshall plan came out of that was an enormously generous and great act by the united states husband evan thomas, another text. that bay of pigs thing meant jfk assassination. watergate gave his confession on the jfk murder. please explain why nixon told the cia he would go public on the assassination guess that nixon was obsessed with finding out that the cia, excuse me, nixon was assessed with the notion that president kennedy had given the order to ki

. >> lbj peered him with this kunning. >> stephen: well, is that what he called it? >> yeah, he was proud of his endowment. >> yes, he was. sharon stone, i bumped into sharon stone at a parking garage. >> stephen: who hasn't. >> who hasn't. everyone's got a sharon stone parking garage story. >> and she was very effusive and complimentary. she said oh my god, i saw your johnson on stage. (laughter). >> and i said were you impressed? yeah, she caught herself. she knew what she did and then she did something with her legs, she spread her legged out and crossed it over. i don't know, i was like-- and we were in a parking garage. >> stephen: it just, it just means she likes you. >> you are now playing dalton trumbow in the movie "trumbo," quins dentally. not earn knows who he is. explain why he is an important figure in our culture. >> in 1947 dalton was the highest paid screen writer in hollywood. which was the world. and he wrote beautiful movies like kitty foil and 30 seconds over tokyo, a guy called joe. he wrote the quint essential antiwar novel johnny got his gun. >

it really reminds us just what a wonderfully gifted legislator, president, and leader lbj was. but i was inspired to be the next thurgood marshall. from the time i was a kid, i knew who thurgood marshall was. - he really did play a disproportionate role for you growing up, as a role model. - he absolutely did. that was a wonderful editorial. i know we're short on time. but finally just writing about the courage of him. because i think thurgood gets lost sometime in the very legitimate debate about the role of dr. king versus malcolm x and the militants, because people didn't see the energy. but this guy was going into segregated courthouses by himself. - right. - suing white people. - and this is long before most of the country knew him. - oh yeah. even as a boy, there was this real - i guess i can say it. i'm at home now. but i'm 60. i can say what i want. but even as a kid, there was, there was this real big - always asked us, you know, what's the difference between the klu klux klan and the supreme court? the answer was, the supreme court wore black robes and scared the hell

. >> lbj and his allies knew that they were short, so, thus, began a 24/7 campaign. in order to get enough senators on board. >> surprisingly, after a year on capitol hill, this bill is stronger than the one president kennedy first requested. president johnson should have the bill on his desk by the fourth of july. >> there are some mystery and some fear concerning three civil rights workers, two whites in new york city and a negro from mississippi. they arrested the men for speeding but released them after they posted bond. they've not been heard from since. >> mr. president, i wanted to let you know we have found the car. now, this is not known, nobody knows this at all, but the car was burned, and we do not know, yet, whether any bodies are inside of the car because of the intense heat. >> we can understand without rancor or hatred how this all happened. but it cannot continue. our constitution, the foundation of our republican, forbids it. the principles of our freedom forbid it. and the law i will sign tonight forbids it.

to do an oral history project so the interviewers begin interviewing people had been assistance to lbj in the senate and the white house. you look at those transcripts and they are amazing, because the aides would say something that sort of suggested that lyndon johnson was always even-tempered, suite, never used bad language. nice always to the people who work for him. infinitely patient. years ago i began reading some of these things and i asked someone at the library -- what was going on here? we know that's not true. he said the problem was that even though the aides were assured that the transcripts would be embargoed for 30 years and that their confidentiality would be reserved, they knew lbj and they figure that their conversations would be typed up, sent upstairs to the former president because they knew he couldn't resist finding out what his aides actually thought about him genuinely rather than what they said. that, i said, is an oral history project that did not work. as vicki suggested, senator kennedy knew that this was going to be valuable to the degree that people felt

. >> though lbj had experienced the same crises by sitting next to kennedy, he had not come out withn of the united states military or military advice. once kennedy was gone, it was inevitable that u.s. foreign policy was going to change. we lost a president that was skeptical of military advice and gained one who usually took it. >> the official russian announcement said he resigned. crowds that one cheered khrushchev wildly were left in the dark as to what went on when the central committee named lee mid brez nerve as the new leader of the party. >> my father was shocked. his successor just went in the opposite direction, then divorce of his policies. he was very upset. >> he had begun a new age of the soviet union, a thawing of the cold war. not complete, but the beginning of something. but things change. >> the cuban missile crisis showed that neither side could gain a military victory over the other side. so therefore, the competition had to take a different form. >> it was the beginning of the very rapid changes in the relations between two countries. next period in our history

. >> it was stunning because no democrat for president had carried virginia since lbj in 1964 until obama08. a lot of folks said that's a fluke and it will flip back in '12. it didn't. obama carried that state again. i think it was wake up call to republicans. if they continue to support more government spending, their going to continue losing states if they look too much like the democrats. they have to put forward a bold agenda on economic freedom. >> going back to 1992 when the tide really started to change, president clinton had the ability to flip-flop the states. again, i think people thought that won't happen again and it did. what kinds of things does the republican nominee need to talk about? >> they've got to offer a vision of genuine economic prosperity that doesn't come from government. it comes from americans. the second thing, government cronism. sea of republican who looks like a democrat or similar to one or economic issues, why change. that's why whether it's ben carson or ted cruz, they've got to put forward a bold agenda. i think this map means they'll lose. >> very int

i know some people don't like to consider texas the south and lbj was the one who said we're southwest but we're our own country. >> maybe because so many people have been transplanted to texas because -- >> yeah. >> a lot of people have moved to texas. it's a fast growing state. >> you know everybody in texas, i forgot. >> i have the state tattooed on me, i own the state. >> yes, you do. >> i did call my mother and asked her because my mother doesn't cook, you know that. she took two things, something called a pea salad, don't ask and does cook dressing and i asked her when she put in it, corn bread, celery, onion, sage and then what's the poultry, chicken poultry, like the powdery stuff, something like that. >> okay. >> i need to write that down. >> you write that -- the poultry -- >> yes, i did ask her had a she put in it and it's delicious. >> anyway. >> most of the country calls it stuffing and the south -- >> probably advertising as well, the commercial. >> stove top stuffing. and another thing we're noting today, phenomenal day in washington, d.c. president obama recognized 17 p

. >> did you find similarities in his flamboyance and his unique qualities to lbj, whom you played soally, i do. in fact, i think if you drew a diagram, you would find more things in common with those two characters than you do outside of that. both incredibly ambitious, both very prolific, talented beyond means and without peer in many cases of their own particular expertise. and i think also that they were driven to a point where they needed more approval and i don't know if they were ever really satiated with the amount of love or respect or attention that they got. they were in need of that. >> that says a lot about politics, jay, doesn't it? you specialized recently in recount and game change and other politically inspired screenplays you have turned into movies. what is it about politicians, maybe some who will be on a stage in milwaukee tonight and crave that attention? >> i think that's what it takes, it's what it takes to do what we do, too, especially i think actors, part of the drive is wanting to connect to people. it becomes addictive. as a person who has worked in comedy

this was my era when i was a young fella and i can remember the rallies very commonly the chant was: lbj, how my kids did you kill today. he lost touch with the country because his policies were unpopular and he became sort of an anti- celebrity person. the guy who was really at anti- celebrity present was richard nixon. this is the single most requested photograph at the national archives. nixon and elvis. nixon felt he was losing touch with the country. he was not in touch with hollywood father culture. remember, during the campaign of 1968, he had lost to kennedy in 60 and he that he had to become more of a popular figure, so remember the show, laugh in, which is a lot of cuts of little skits and jokes and so on and he decided he wanted to appear in laugh in. their signature phrase was socked it to me and he had to do about six takes before he got it right because he was not completely of the money with it. say these words, sock it to me and he started out asking questions. so, he finally got it right and all it was to say those words on camera, but it may people think that maybe this

lbj, thank you very much, dwight eisenhower, born in denison, texas. he moved to kansas later on, but he was born in north texas. the thing maybe not so much to brag about is we have an extraordinary obesity rate, 30%. i don't know, i'm not going to brag about that. how did this get into my speech? we emit more than twice as many greenhouse gases as any other state. i think they mean vehicles. [laughter] ms. saldana: i'm not so sure. and for those of you in the legal field, we have some very interesting laws in texas. if you know it is illegal in the state of texas to put graffiti on another person's cow? [laughter] ms. saldana: that it is illegal to curse in front of a court in the great state of texas? please watch that when you're in texas. [laughter] ms. saldana: back to the cow thing, you can be arrested for milking another persons cow. i don't know why i say that. let me get to the most serious task, and that is to talk to you about my agency. i am so proud of our agency and the 20,000 women and men who comprise our workforce. we have a lot of wo

so the interview began interviewing people who would been assistance to lbj. you look at those transcript and they are amazing, because the aides would say thing that suggested that lyndon johnson was always even tempered and sweet and never used bad language and really nice always to the people who worked for him. and infinitely patient. i began reading some of these things and i asked someone at the library what was going on. we knew it was not true. the problem was that even though those aides were assured that these transcripts would be embargoed for 30 years and befidentiality would preserved, they figured their conversations would be typed up and sent to the former president they knew he could not resist finding out what his aides thought about him rather than what they said. so that i said is an oral history project that did not work as vicki suggested, senator kennedy did not need the advice. he knew this was going to be valuable to the degree that people felt they could speak openly. and the other thing i said was, you know this already, senator, but

to be on the set and also for you, bryan, the fact that first of all congratulations, a tony playing lbj. we all, of course, love walter, love that character. you don't get typecast. you're able to be able to do these different types of roles as an arc. that must be so gratifying. >> because i have no distinguishing look, i don't look striking by any regard, so i can walk down the street and people are looking at everything else. and in a way that truly is, i mean that, it helps me to get into a character and look completely different from character to character. >> i know we have to go but, it's throwback thursday. can't we just throw the clip -- he was part of the abc family. can we just see "loving." >> the most beautiful thing -- you okay? >> yeah, why? >> i don't know. you seem a little preoccupied ever since we arrived. >> thanks, yes, i haven't changed at all. >> you'll always be a part of the family here, bryan. hey, continued blessings and all good things and thank you for "trumbo." it is in select theaters beginning tomorrow. check it out. let's get outside again to ginger. >>
