[inaudible conversations] >> he said it takes a bit. >> all right. takes a minute. clint hill was born in 1932, the middle of the great depression, and his mother realized she couldn't care for him. so she had him baptized and dropped him off at the north dakota children's home in fargo, north dakota. fortunately, when he was about three months old, he was adopted by a wonderful family, chris and jenny hill and their daughter, janice. he grew up in this home in washburn, north dakota, population 912. clint, growing up in that tiny town in north dakota, did you always want to be a secret service agent, or how did that come about? [laughter] >> no, not at all. my intention when i went away to college was to become a hist

they are a memory of the 1960s with the johnsons at the lbj ranch.ouldn't get into them if i wanted to but i still have them. >> in 1968 richard m. nixon won the election but once again you were not assigned to the president. >> they came to me after the election in 19608 and said clint we have a problem. next week is -- he didn't like johnson and he didn't like kennedy. you are with both of them and he knows it. we don't think you and he are going to get along. said you probably got that right. [laughter] he said we would like to make a change. we will make it a special agent in charge of vice presidential protection. they made some promises to me about personnel staffing and equipment and i agreed so that change was made. >> you were there were missing yet another presidential transition and once again in the inaugural parade you were with that same car. >> this time we were using the same car at this time it was being used for the vice president and this time i'm inside the car in the right front seat and the other agents you see there because of

lbj meets with mexico's president at a cooperative dam project on the border. he liked the white house christmas tree, negotiates a proposed tax increase, and celebrates the holidays with his at his texas ranch. the white house naval photographic unit shot the film which is now archived at the lbj presidential library. >> winter into the hill people of west texas is mostly wind and dust. it is a time when the land is at its harshest. the once green pastor is brown and dormant. the streams and the ponds are low. this time of year, a particular -- in particular in an election off your, has been a time of trouble for candidates, especially when it follows a presidential election. two major documents must be laid before the congress, the forthcoming federal budget statement and the state of the union address. this responsibility alone would be awesome enough, but coupled with a vietnam conflict that must be continually explained to the american people, the trouble of the economy, and an upcoming -- and he divided congress, this created something that is not a -- no

on trips like this to the lbj ranch, a briefcase was needed. they were summoned by the president to help in the shaping of the nation's economic social and political destiny. they comprised many. special assistance, consultant in specialized areas. cabinet members and department head. experts from both private and public walks of life. each will have his chance to suggest reports, goodbyes and recommend. ofh brings a collection facts and opinions. the sum totals on the scale. only then can the president make the final evaluation and ultimately, the final decision. one of the toughest problems was the question of the tax increase. it had brought some inflationary fires. as some conjecture headed, it could also promote a recession. hills, farangels from the pentagon corridors, the president would have to evaluate the force to structure. in light of current intelligence estimate, consider a $30 billion antimissile system would be justified. with the war in the vietnam cost more? budget cuts and welfare programs would be called for. as the presiden

in the past, on trips like these to the lbj ranch, a briefcase was all that was needed.tcases wereue in order. they were summoned to help in the shaping of the nation's economics and social destiny. consisted of special assistants, consultants in specialized areas, cap members departmentnts had -- heads. experts whose opinion the president valued. each have his chance to suggest his report, advise, and recommend. each brings a report of opinions, and the sum total goes into the scale. only the president can make the final valuation and the final decision. one of the toughest problems was the question of the tax increase. true, it could bring federal income and outlay more in line. but as conjecture had it, it could also promote a recession. here in these hills, far from buildings, and considered a $30 billion antimissile system would be justified. with the war in vietnam causing more than -- costing more than anticipated, there was pressure to reduce spending at home. clearly, budget cuts and welfare programs would be called for. as the president sought ways to squeeze w

how obsequious martin got towards lbj.the kind of folded when lbj asked him for anything. can you transfer a balance to me? martin said sure mister president, i'd be happy to. though the federal reserve chair was trying to be obliging towards the presidents he served and that is why he was at his best under kennedy. >> you know, carter appointed his offer. >> but that showboating on a daily basis by the individual voters, i don't recall that from my years . >> i hate that, i've written about that. it does more harm than good. when i was a child i worked for the federal reserve and i asked for paul broker, i was his secretary and the era. and i did some speeches, i did some correspondence but anyway, both as chairman wouldn't put up with it you he just basically told everybody to keep quiet. both are as chairman didn't want anybody to know what he was doing area and it was kind of cool. he had it right. it might not have always been self so it depends on who the president is. harder wouldn't let booker do his job even thoug

unlike lbj his legacy will be essence. he made procedure rule changes that will make it easier to get rid of everything he passed in the first years of the obama administration. >> and the nominees in p particular -- >> and for supreme court justices. >> it will make it easier for donald trump to get his through. >> yes. ironically is to make it measurerable for the next four years. >> what reid did is to make life miserable for chuck shummer. the minority leader when the president was with the other party. the senate has a great deal of power to obstruct. reid set precedent by which republicans could take more of it away. it would make it a lot harder for shumer to block president trump's agenda. >> let's talk about yuca mountain. reid and obama, mr. president, i'll represent you and i will block everything and try to get as little as possible that you have to veto on your desk if you amount people that wlo will stop yucca mountain. >> utility companies paid more than $20 million for services that were never rendered and

what if lbj had access to a twitter account?ightmare that people that work for lbj would have to endure? there's that famous picture of john kennedy reaching out in texas and grabbing lbj to pull him back to stop yelling at the crowd. i think perhaps it has less to do with the character of the person who is stepping into the white house than it does with the technology that's at the fingertips. if harry truman had twitter, if lbj had twitter or nixon had twitter. >> impulsive presidents could easily have used it. i understand that. i do. i think there are moments, however, like look at the fact that jfk didn't let people know the cuban missile crisis was happening until it was the right time to let them know that. can you imagine that kind of freedom today? to understand you have this huge debate within you and the country doesn't even know it and you keep quiet until you say something. that's almost impossible to imagine today. you needed that time to think that out. that's what i worry about. there are certain decisions that c

and was part of his responsibility to stick up for those caught in the tentacles of circumstance as lbj put it. it was that same instinct that led him to take a hardcharging freshman from new york under his wing. you, there is no one better to have in your corner then harry reid. much has been made of his career and it's true he is tenacious fighter and relentless but what these descriptions often miss is that the important thing is not that you fight, the important thing is what and who you fight for. he thought for people -- fought for people and to protect seniors. to get over the finish line providing healthcare to 22 million americans who never had health care before. he fought for the environment and was one of the most illustrious records when it comes to clean energy, land conservation and preserving historical landmarks he had a passion for. i remember when he visited hyde park for the first time and he talked to me about it for a half hour on and on and that was it until one day about seven or eight months later i got a call from the hyde park monument. he said thanks for that

>> i think he's the most consequential democratic senator since lbj.e pushed through a very ambitious social agenda. he was ruthless in the use of political power, but unlike lbj, his league see is going to be -- most of what he did was unpopular and he made procedural changes in the senate that will make it easier to get rid of everything he passed, especially in the first years of the obama administration. >> james, the nominees in particular, he blew the filibuster away. >> except for supreme court justices. >> that's going to make it easier for donald trump to get all his nominees through. >> right. ironically the result of what schumer did in 2013 is make life miserable for the next four years -- >> you mean what reid did. >> what reid did, in 2014, to make life miserable for chuck schumer the incoming minority leader for the next four years. the minority leader of the senate used to be one of the most pourful positions in washington when the president was of the other party because the senate has a great deal of power to obstruct. reid took a lot

. >> we're had shadowy stuff with lbj. >> that's totally true and lbj had a lot. nothing of this scope and nothing that is singular to the definition of the person at hand. here's what i think happens. it's hard to get the notions of the conflicts, but if a crisis happens and it is then later revealed ex-post facto in the midst he had business interest there, people will care. we don't know what's around the corner. if we get into china with the desire for a land deal. >> i'm trying to figure out how people filter this. he ran for president he is not releasing his tax returns. never been done and poking holes in the rationals for why he wanted to do that and gets elected anyway. the message was almost some people viewed it as drain the swamp and i will clean it up. other people thought i will play as dirty as they play. >> one of the things that is important. like dividing the trump voters. the question is about the more marginal voters and whether they care and at what point they care. the broader fact is he won the election. he is dividing all political gravity

michael mentioned lbj who was a deal maker. with congress all the time to get things done and get things passed. barack obama didn't do that. he didn't have a good relationship with the congress. certainly not republicans. and not even democrats. >> he didn't have a good relationship with the democrats. that's why when people who don't understand what's been happening behind the scenes eight years, republicans just want to stop him. talk to senior democratic senators from day one who said the guy didn't have a relationship with us. >> many of them never in the white house. >> you mention bill clinton. bill clinton on his re-election nomination speech took credit for 13 actual republican initiatives mostly which were in the contract with america. >> what drove me so crazy, so many things drove me crazy about bill clinton but he fought on tooth and nail on balancing the budget and welfare reform. we were cold and heartless and throwing kids out in the street and saying balance budget was cruel. you open up my life, his 8,000-page

lbj did consider using the logan act, but they did not fully have the evidence they needed to go public with that and not the point he decided it would be very bad for the country if the new president was coming in with this hanging over his head and kept it to himself. perhaps americans would've known better what they were getting it to have that come out. but they learned eventually. >> joseph mccarthy, that era and the name ray cohen comes to mind. did you write about him? he it turns out was a big time mentor to our president elect. >> i did not. i believe he got mentioned only in passing because in this mishap chapter about the mccarthy era and have you no sense of decency, sir, the famous quote really only gets mentioned in passing. kind of a part of that area. >> did you ever see the assertion that bill casey went to france in 1982 saw the release of the hostages until after the election? >> i was one of the ones that was under consideration and didn't make the list, but that's a very potential logan act and i think part of the reason is the distiller but murky and there's a lot

the economy was recession-free during the 1960's when lbj was in charge and recession free during thewhen bill clinton was in charge. it is hard to know -- bad luck sometimes. but it is one of those factoids that you got to give donald trump little cause for p ause. mark: is there a risk that one might overestimate the ability of presidents to cause or prevent recessions? rich: yeah, that is a really good point. arguably the fed has a lot more to say with its up-and-down moves on interest rates and the up-and-down moves of the economy. the president is hampered -- he has to get an agreement from congress. there is just so much he can do on ms. zone -- on his own. some people say that there is a risk that trump could come if he starts a trade war with china, for example, you might have the gop curse of recession bear fruit. mark: yeah, and on china, coming back to the original topic, irrational despondency, in your piece you say that things are looking better for europe as we come to the end of the year. things are looking better for japan. but china, as we approach the new year, you r

have you read lbj do you know , our history? and we also have to caution ourselves to the complexity of that history. i thought donald trump disqualified himself at numerous points. but now there is this idea that anyone who voted for him has to be defined by the worst of his rhetoric. and i think it's a big mistake. and i think our relationship status with our own worst impulses is complicated. you have to remember, who was the most progressive president in our history? it is franklin delano roosevelt, who interned asian americans during world war ii. so we are a complicated and real people. i know the hardest thing for me during this election was the disconnect i had between watching the rallies, which i think animates because it is a rally. the wisdom of crowds isn't particularly moderate. but to see lock her up and shouting at the media and jewusa. and terrible things that happened and his inability to in any way tamp that down and in some cases inspire it to view , that with my own experience with real people that i knew wh

the last thing i will say, all i can think is lbj as being this genius in the senate and he was in a lot of respects, but i think he was also a genius genius who was bounded sometimes. had he not been vice president and had he stuck around in the senate and managed the senate, would he have been as successful? i submit to you that he would not have been because the way he exercised power was ill-equipped for the 60s. you had a whole host of northern liberals who didn't want to play by the rules anymore. the republican party was getting a little more consolidated. man filled comes along and his genius was to recognize he couldn't control it. so what did he do? he took a step back. he let go and he focused on facilitating the participation of all the different members in the process. if any problems arose, he would try to work it out on the backend. guess what, the senate had its golden age according to people on both sides of the aisle. they tackled a lot of really difficult questions during that time. i think we have to have enough humility and our debate right now to recognize that

i was concerned that lbj did it that. that is not correct. social security is paid for. it is not part of the federal issue. medicare is separate. but not has a trust for nearly as good as social security. host: a democrat. caller: good morning. the reason why the democrats have not been winning is because they do not get out the lies that the republicans has and that is the biggest problem. democrats are disbanding the story like with the story said about lg they -- lbj how democrats borrowed money from social security and medicare. that is the first time i've heard a democrat defend against that rumor or lie. that is why the democrats have not been winning just like with the affordable care act. when they were negotiating that and president obama said if you like your health care, you can keep it. amendmente, but an indicated that, no, you cannot. therefore, the democrats did not get out and say the republicans amended that and the president was telling the truth. that life flourished and that is what is happening for all of these years. democrats need to get a backbon

here is jfk and lbj down here. here is clinton-reagan right here.mption. it ain't happening. the good recovery we have seen in consumption gets us back to just above recession levels. is it still in american consumer struggling? the numbers are pretty clear. we have had over eight years of 1.6% average annual growth in real consumption, two points below the trend of the preceding 12 years. it was a balance sheet recession that occurred in 2008, 2009. out of adigging horrific hole. the debt income ratios are down. the savings rate is low but higher than it was. there is still more work to do, so it is key to focus on balance sheet repair in the quarters and years ahead in the new administration. will donald trump make the american middle class great against? guy, he would certainly like to. but it is going to take more than just a politician to transform the rough dynamics that are bearing down in the american middle class. the president-elect is focusing, to his credit, on jobs. but to get jobs growing again, it is going to take more than a phone ca

just the other day i was watching one of the lbj movies where three men were killed back in the '60s many civil rights leaders who were talking about justice being served. the scrutiny is much, much higher for a dead male today. when they're already gone. and so four police officers in these cases, when there's so much evidence that is out there and people are visualizing these incidents, which is by far different than in the '60s, it's much, much harder in every single case to realize, are they going to receive justice. what is the message to citizens in america when someone is attacking you, when someone is approaching you. are you going to give the same kind of space and leverage as police officers are. and the answer is more often than not that you are not if you are african-american. you are not going to get the same kind of consideration as a police officer. >> danny, this morning, the vice president-elect was asked about the idea there will be a federal case after this and will the incoming administration follow up. what are the considerations for making this a federal case? w

and was part of his responsibility to stick up for those caught in the tentacles of circumstance as lbj put it. it was that same instinct that led him to take a hardcharging freshman from new york under his wing. you, there is no one better to have in your corner then harry reid. much has been made of his career and it's true he is tenacious fighter and relentless but what these descriptions often miss is that the important thing is not that you fight, the important thing is what and who you fight for. he thought for people -- fought for people and to protect seniors. to get over the finish line providing healthcare to 22 million americans who never had health care before. he fought for the environment and was one of the most illustrious records when it comes to clean energy, land conservation and preserving historical landmarks he had a passion for. i remember when he visited hyde park for the first time and he talked to me about it for a half hour on and on and that was it until one day about seven or eight months later i got a call from the hyde park monument. he said thanks for that

like forget about advising the president, the president, like, have you read lbj? do you know our history. you know, this is-- and we also have to caution ourselves to the complexity of that history. that i thought donald trump disqualified himself at numb rouse points but there is-- neum rowses points but there is now this idea that anyone who voted for him has to be defined by the worst of his rhetoric. and i think-- i think it's a big mistake. and i think that our relationship status with our own worst impulses is complicated. and you have to remember, who is the most aggressive president maybe in our history, it is roosevelt. franklin will del anker -- del ano roosevelt who ints interred asian americans during world war two. so we are a complicated and real people. i know the hardest thing for me during this election was the disconnect i had between watching the rallies, which i think animates generally because it is a rally, the wisdom of crowds is never particularly moderate. but to see lock her up and shouting at the media, u.s.a. and some terrible things th
