as chairman of the lbj foundation. it is my privilege to welcome you to this keynote presentation of the vietnam war summit. lyndon johnson would have been very proud of this summit and would have wanted it to take place. he would particularly have been proud that the valor and commitment of the men and women who serve this country in vietnam is being recognized and honored. here. while few people see disagreement and dispute, lyndon johnson never shied away from controversy. when this library was dedicated, lbj famously proclaimed, it's all here. the story of our time with the bark off. there is no record of a mistake or of an unpleasantness or a criticism that is not included in the files here. the exhibits and papers in this library certainly testify to the remarkable accomplishments of lbj legacy, his monumental successes in civil rights work, chronicle, and the summit programs held in this library just two years ago. but this library does not ignore lbj's anguish. the tragedy of the vietnam war. his greatest disap

and so i think a great example of this were in the lbj presidential library. our knowledge our understanding lyndon johnson's complex motivations as a southern democrat but yet an advocate civil rights as a cold warrior but yet someone who had his doubts about from the start, as someone who was a confident political actor but also living in the shadow of the kennedy family. all of these complex issues that so many in this room written about these issues, you can only really understand when you have a fuller sense of the documentation around decision making. and so that's one of the main reasons why we need fuller documentary record and nowhere near where we should be. in fact if we want to reconstruct these issues. there's second reason, which is that when we're trying to understand a foreign society that we've had long term relations with. often the best source have our own sort sources. so if you want to understand the development of iranian policy in the last three, four or five decades, you're not going to be able to go to the iranian archive. everyone rea

. >> that was famously the year that lbj was the incumbent, lbj was incumbent, the left were serious about it in incredibly disaffected that he tries to stand for reelection and -- >> also didn't amazing job on economic issues. >> amazing job. transformational chairman domestic policy. >> what i'm saying is, i think you have to put together a lot of the passionate causes that made this age into something that matches a lot of our stated commitment. at the end of the day i think there's something that's very difficult, to be honest, about which is trump and trump-ism is a movement built on feeling. it's a movement that is intelligent about the nature of human feeling and how to play it. and all the dark ways, in other lying ways. but if you just become morally neutral about it and say just assess the tactical ability to play the human sentiment, it's a very strong. i don't think anybody within a mile of the white house or the dnc, ever being really honest with ourselves, is in the top half of sophisticated on that question. in so when you try about the economy, no one's not economic d

when lbj really got down to it, he said they're going to be on the wrong side of history, i'm going ton against my own kind, the white southern democrats, and drove them out of the party by passing legislation. there was a time when parties could shift. it doesn't feel like the republicans want to shift. they decided they kind of dig this version of the party which is in many ways a 1930s, fascist party, and they're kind of cool with it. >> yeah. it's such an important conversation, and you're exactly right. in the kind of civil rights, post civil rights generation, you had both of those political parties, you saw chapters where they tried to rid themselves of the cultural baggage of, frankly, racism, and they tried to move, at least if they didn't lead against racism and the systemic impacts of it, they tried to quiet it. in the 2000s, with john mccain, the way he tried to treat barack obama. trulily what happened is democrats started to show leadership. republicans said it's okay that it's there, as long as it stays quiet, and then the trump era happened. you can argue it started bef

. >> sean: what did you think, caylee, about the answer when i quoted lbj in terms of gavin.ot of suspicion, a lot of people around the cou country, polls or burn this out more than ever that people are seeing joe biden as weak and frail and in cognitive decline. that was not something that gavin newsom wanted to admit but when you bring up the issue of whether or not if his party came to him, whether he has been very clear in all three interviews that i have had with him, to not being a debate obviously i'm ordering but that he thinks that it would be the vice president, vice president harris and knock him up next. if you say it that often, you have to take somebody at their word, don't you. >> as a prodigal figure, there are certain things you have to say. this is why every single person probably in all of time who has run for president says, oh, no, you know, it you know, it is not wang-tomic. i'm not thinking of that right now. i'm focusing on by state capacity, et cetera and several of them going to run for president. there are certain things you must say. gavin newsom t

it lbj did that. and bayard and the various civil rights leaders were concerned that the dixiecrats in the south would dilute the bill. they decided bayard would lead this march to celebrate and you know to celebrate american democracy and celebrate the need to move forward with what was happening in the south and to make the muscle that was democracy stronger and bolder braver. this coalition of people that were all committed to the same cause and beliefs in w naacp, the court, other organizations, so he was fighting in congress and so they all came together. they came together in essence and the organization, the organizing of this event was led by bayard rustin. they have been many march on washington, but this was the first time it was put together. and bayard did it with a group of kids. i mean 18, 19, 20 years old, and they organized it in eight weeks. >> we are in a very trying and divisive time. even when i say that, i'm being generous. to have this seem to be looking backwards. but really not

biden may run out of gone and do an lbj moment and say i'm resigning, i'm overwhelmed. my party has reached the conclusion that they don't want to support me. trump may be on his way to jail or kjr on the way, he would be on the mothership, put him on the mothership with george clinton and them. be on the mothership, brother. who is left? oh, my god, they have this radical revolutionary christian brother trying to tell the truth standing up for people around the world knowing he's got -- willing to live, willing to die for something bigger than him, something grander than him. that's what this movement, that's what this campaign is all about. thank you all so very much. omaha, nebraska, love y'all, we love the little ones. we love the little ones. [applause] >> fire them up. [laughter] absolutely, absolutely. my brothers -- >> i g would love to have a picture of you and your wife. >> absolutely. absolutely. thank you so much. you.ank you, thank i love your words. >> lord, lord. so kind to come out tonight. >> thank you. >> the lord was with me. >> i prayed before you go

i think he's going to have an lbj moment. >> really? >> i think he's going to end up -- very influential folks are calling for him to pull back. even with trump, given what we've just seen with brother rudy giuliani, you have that kind of criminality coming at you, that he might not even be the candidate. so we just don't know. the crucial thing is to be like jane austen. constant. we have to be consistent in our critiques of empire, our critiques of organized greed, our critiques of institutionalized hatred and try to elevate the discourse of revenge and talk about truth and justice and love. we just got on the ballot in alaska, and i'm very excited about this with brother mark belkin and sister elizabeth freeman, meaning what? there's a hunger out there, sister laura. there's a thirst out there to get beyond trump leading us to civil war number two or biden leading us to world war number three. we know that both candidates cannot represent the best of america. my candidacy is about what? introducing america to the best of itself. that

>> the reason the attorney general and lbj, why they are obsesseded his racism, racism number two and racism number three but to be more specific they beginec surveilling him because they are concerned he might be associating with communists. so was everybody else back then. when it became clear he wasn't remotely interested by that time they also heard him with other women and it was clear he was having relationships and that became their obsession. why is that a matter of national security or importantld to the government. why should we spend millions in tax money surveilling a private citizen to find out about his affairs. it's obvious becausean racism. they see him as a threat to the status quo and if he's successful into the most successful he has a create ability to define racism to make white people even reconsider and rally people in a way no one else can and that poses a threat and j edgar hoover sees his job as that of preserving the white power structure that has been so good to him for so long and king poses a threat so they begin to use his personal life to try to undermi

nomination he said this, i'm not sure whether i'll be running against biden, i think biden will have an lbjning out of gas. >> dagen: since it is the holiday season, you are at the season and have a drinky drink, would you hand your keys to joe biden to drive you in your own car home for free or in tight financial times, would you pay for an uber? hands down, you are not letting that man drive your car, not even around the parking lot of kroger. i don't think it is off base for a lot of people to think he will not run, if you listen to david axelrod. what is it going to take for joe biden to step out of the way? i don't have the answer. one thing i know, we mentioned approval rating, 33%, almost in the twos, that whoever runs for democrats will represent the same policy that got us where we are. this commander in calamity and cohorts inflicted pain and suffering on the american people and for almost three years routinely mocked americans telling them the sadists, telling them what they experience everyday is not real and what they are feeling is not legitimate and now the media piling onboa

lbj, nixon we don't i don't even know what we will be dealing with in the future. emails and text messages, i guess. yes, i imagine. well, we're going to talk about what happened on november 22nd, the assassination of an american presidents in the kennedy mystique, the darker side of camelot. but we're also going to talk more really to start with what happened in south vietnam in earlier november. really all through that summer of 1963. how did kennedy set up his taping system? he did it in 62. he did it for the same reason that other presidents did. he thought he had been misquoted, misrepresented. and so he had a secret service technician named robert bork, basically bugged the oval office in the cabinet room. he had microphones hidden under the surface of the resolute desk in what looked like a buzzer box on the coffee table in the oval office between the two big white sofas that he had his guests sit in when he sat in his rocking chair and also hidden behind the curtains in the cabinet room in in lamp sconces. so the people who come in to speak to him, they kno

founders site shrinkut hoagain made it permanent ever since then it's turbocharged by the great society lbj after the assassination of president kennedy. that is only the government we live under today. i might say the person who envisioned all of this. i was a genius was not alexander hamilton it was woodrow wilson might not have been the best president but he was certainly one of the smartest presence off visionary the kind of agencies administeringge government natue issues and congress delegated the power to the agencies they got it from that european. >> john yoo you talked about we wrote this book. he's a professor at st. thomas law school and someone i met but we work together in the justice department almost 25 years ago now 23 yearsen ago. the first book we wrote together. right of that other authors make sure ideas better. >> how long you been teaching uc barkley? this is my 30th year started in 1993 i guess i was 26 years old. [laughter] i knew if i could get a job i'm never leaving. what you teach there? i could teach a wide variety i teach constitutional law, separation of powe

convince him to get out and then what 1960 in the incredible mess that the can convention was when lbj dropped out i think we can see a repeat. >> they got convince, here is to step aside it has to look like it's her idea. do they promise or supreme court justice he had. what did they do to believe this was her idea. >> i don't know clearly she wants to be president and i think the white house has been pretty generous at rebooting kamala harris about every four months they give her a new task and they do something in terms of a makeover of kamala harris and nothing works, you cannot just dump her because after all he picked a black woman and he said he wouldn't he did and she's become his best insurance policy. maria: she was border czar, she didn't do anything there and she was a.i. czar, she didn't do anything there, while other czars were she. >> president biden as an absolutely nothing in this country is a once great country that is now in shambles because of what they've done you look at crime, you look at inflation, you look at the border you look at her adversaries flexing on us

if you can't understand fdr without understanding the role that polio lplayed in his life, lbj, the roleithtectexas and . for joe biden it is grief. he brings it into the public square that's very rare for people at the apex of our politics. for joe biden, if you don't understand what grief means to him, you don't understand his views on suffering, on work, on purpose, on the presidency itself. this is essential to who he is and we're right to learn about it. >> you also learned a lot about the president and about the presidency and loss and grief. president biden came out in a way to ythat no president has spoken about their grief. >> yeah, i don't think there has been a sitting president who has agreed to sit down and talk about the personal losses in his own life and the grief which he still feels today. i look back at the comments, you know, more than 15 american presidents lost children. i mean, john adams, john quincy adams lost four children. thomas jefferson lost four. john f. kennedy lost a child while in the white house, a son named patrick who only lived 39 days. rarely did th

he was speaking at the lbj library.te celebrity chef anthony bourdain once said -- "once you've been to cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat henry kissinger to death with your bare hands. you will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with charlie rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. witness what henry did in cambodia -- the fruits of his genius for statesmanship -- and you will never understand why he's not sitting in the dock at the hague next to milosevic." if you can just respond to that? >> that quote contains more intelligence than the entire political establishment, both democrat and republican. it is morally and intellectually correct. it is more accurate than most diplomatic historians. in terms of kissinger's quote himself about cambodia, he is playing a bit of a game. the united states massively bombed cambodia. [indiscernible] you tend to bring to power the mos

in the democrats because not only is he the most unpopular president in 70 years, for unpopular in lbjrace, more unpopular than jimmy, the most popular president in 70 years, also losing on every major issue that matters to the american people. immigration, inflation, energy, crime all but double digit negatives and that's where this comparison is going to be great because people remember the term presidency, didn't have these problems. griff jenkins video that shows you plainly what the biden administration is all about. >> thank you very much. two retired nypd officers held as euros for stopping it would be arsonist. that story is next.one, ♪ tornadoes ripped through the state last night leaving at least six beds and doesn't integrate in clarksville, one of the largest cities in tennessee, many homes and buildings were destroyed as a tornado hit the area went into kentucky. a second tornado the metro area were at least three people are dead. two retired nypd officers back home after being held as heroes. they saved doctor martin luther king's home being burned down by detainees the a

we shall see run out of gas and lbj moment and my who's left? oh my god. they've got the radical revolutionary christian brother trying to tell the truth and standing up for oppressed people around the world knowing he's got to live and die for this movement and this campaign. that's what it's all about. thank you all so much. omaha, nebraska. love y'all. we love delivering. we love delivering. we love delivering. >> he was singing the praiser of his family earlier today. i didn't know i was going to be so blessed to meet them. absolutely. absolutely. your first name is? >> i appreciate you coming out tonight. absolutely. >> i've been work with the indians here. >> indigenous people here. and going down and thank you so much. >> we need to get it going and work on it for 30 years. >> let'set take a picture first. jot indigenous people and got to tell the truth. can't tell the truth without vascularizing indigenous people's voices. know whey mean. >> >> how you doing? >> >> thank you. >> great to hear you man. >> oh, man. your pray for me and actually going

hampshire and showing in these early primary states that he can do it, and the president deciding get lbj 1968 to pool the ripcord. johnson did so after new hampshire, march 31, 1968. or the other thing, which is, some of the democrats are counting on this, increasing weakness by biden demonstrated in the polls into decision by biden to forgo a race. after the primaries have mostly been run, the democrats have a very late convention, starts the third week of august. conceivably you could have a bunch of primaries sending biden delegates to the national convention. at the convention by the time the convention biden could step aside. it's not an accident that witmer and newsom have all filed federal committees that allow them to move around the country and pay particular attention to who is being made a delegate. california will hold its primary march 5th, newsom is trying to make sure every one of those biden delegates is a newsom person so he has some influence at the democratic national convention. paul: if the president dropped out, could he release his delegates and they could choose w

i was at the lbj library last week and. lucy and i were talking because lucy and linda and her mother came to visit that day as mother was leaving that afternoon one evening to go check herself into bethesda. and lucy said, i don't know why your mother just have somebody else. let us see the white house, because it's a real privilege to go back to the house and see the house after you've left. i've only been once and then allowed to go upstairs to my bedroom and see my bedroom of what it looks like now, who knows what it looks like now? but anyway, you don't normally to go upstairs into the family and so we were letting lucy and linda see their old rooms and and all of that and they unaware that mother was headed to bethesda naval hospital that afternoon, which i'm sure patty involved in right in that press release. and said to me, she goes, your mother was so gracious because she could have, you know, and said, but lucy, you and i now know how special it is to go back to the house. and why would my mother take that away fr

and it was turbocharged by a gray society under lbj and a large democratic majority after the assassination of president kennedy. that is when we really got the government we have today, but the person who envisioned all of this was a genius, not alexander hamilton but woodrow wilson. woodrow wilson might not have been the best president, but he was certainly one of the smartest presidents, a visionary , and i think it is wilson's republic, the kind of agencies administering government and major issues and congress delegating the power over to agencies. that is all wilson's vision and he got it from the europeans. >> john, you talked about we wrote this book with your co-author. who is he? prof. yoo: he is a retired professor from st. thomas law school. i worked with him when i met him at the justice department years ago. we collaborated on many things and this was the first book i wrote. i like to write books with people. i think it is fun. i think it makes your ideas better. >> how long have you been teaching at uc berkeley? prof. yoo: this is embarrassing. it is my 30th year. i started i

governor newsom, i ask you, will you make an lbj-like statement and governor desantis, you say he isonse, i would like you to answer that. really say unequivocally, i don't know circumstances are you running -- >> governor newsom: correct. i don't know how many times i can say this. you are making this stuff up about a shadow campaign. >> sean: if at the dnc campaign they ask you to run -- >> governor newsom: joe biden will be our nominee in a matter of weeks. in a matter of weeks, sean, we will be endorsing -- he will be endorsing donald trump. trouble if they come to you and joe is incapable of asking, are you a hard know? >> governor newsom: he is doing fantastically. i appreciate and respect the work the president is doing in the vice president, biden/harris campaign and team so absolutely unequivocally. >> sean: harris would be the next question? >> governor newsom: president biden will be reelected. donald trump will be rejected. >> governor desantis: i think what he is saying should color every single thing. he says joe biden is 100% up to the job. you know that is not true. a

biden, i think he's going to have an lbj moment and pull back.'m just saying that i'm open to those possibilities given the fluidity of the situation. he's running out of gas. cornell west, he might be right. politico is reporting that biden is increasingly consumed by hunter biden's legal troubles, how could you not be? and the publication says, "privately fears about the upcoming campaign and potential criminal trial have become ever present weight on the president," according to those close to him. you can see it in his eyes and you can see his shoulder slumps says one confident of president biden, in describing a recent conversation, he's so worried about biden and we're worried it could consume him and this comes just days afternoon axios reported this, biden suggested to close associates that if he had not run in 2020 hunter would not be facing criminal prosecution or be the target of daily stories by conservative media. all while trying to stay sober and rebuild his life. interesting. so is the president reconsidering his second term ambit

biden may run out of gas into and lbj moment and say, i'm resigning, i'm overwhelmed, my party no longer wants to support me, trump may be on his way to jail. kj are is on the mothership. put him on the mothership. something wrong with george clinton and them. would love to be on the mothership. who's left? oh my god, they got this radical revolutionary christian brother trying to tell the truth, standing up for black people around the world knowing he's got faults, but willing to live in willing to die for something bigger and grander than him. that's what this movement in this campaign is all about. thank you all very much. omaha, nebraska. this is your grandfather too? what a blessing. i know you proud of this brother. he's a level of wisdom. here we go. as a family affair. we got granddaddy on the grandson. >> i did your online course. >> the one in darkness. >> as, that was my first introduction to you in high school. let me give you my information and we can stay in contact. i run into philosophers every day. >> i met you in san francisco for one of the events for the julian assang

hoover in particular were not just edgar hoover, but the attorney general, robert f kennedy and lbj, why they are obsessed with king is racism, number one. racism number two and racism number three. but to be more specific, they begin surveilling him because they're concerned that he might be associating with communists and he is associating with former communists. but so was everybody else back then when it became clear that he was not remotely interested in communist activity. by that time, they'd also heard him on the phone with other than coretta. and it was clear that he was having relationships with some of these women, and that became their obsession. why? why is that a matter of national security? why is that important to our federal government? should we spend millions of dollars of tax money surveilling a private citizen to find out about his affairs? well, it's obvious because racism, because they want they see king as a threat to the status quo. see that if he's successful and he's the most successful civil rights activist, he has this great ability, as louis lomax saying

i was at the lbj library last week and. lucy and i were talking because lucy and linda and her mother came to visit that day as mother was leaving that afternoon one evening to go check herself into bethesda. and lucy said, i don't know why your mother just have somebody else. let us see the white house, because it's a real privilege to go back to the house and see the house after you've left. i've only been once and then allowed to go upstairs to my bedroom and see my bedroom of what it looks like now, who knows what it looks like now? but anyway, you don't normally to go upstairs into the family and so we were letting lucy and linda see their old rooms and and all of that and they unaware that mother was headed to bethesda naval hospital that afternoon, which i'm sure patty involved in right in that press release. and said to me, she goes, your mother was so gracious because she could have, you know, and said, but lucy, you and i now know how special it is to go back to the house. and why would my mother take that away fr
