lyndon johnson -- his own kids were against the war. families were broken over it. >> the other thing that people should understand that made this real was television. television was bringing it into people's living rooms every night >> it was wide open because nobody had really done any kind of -- television was not restricted. it was all brand new. nobody in the administration had any control over it. the journalists were just going out there and getting whatever they found. we do not have that now. it is much more controlled on the battlefield. it had a profound effect on the country. another reason why people came out against the war because they were seeing it all the time on television. 300 body bags were coming back every week. they were showing the body bags coming back. it had a profound effect. it changed the average person's mind. >> we have to remind people that the war started before lyndon johnson's term. it had been raging for 15 years. about johnson's attitude the war was what? >> i think he was confused about a for a lo

that was lyndon johnson.he goldwater part of that speech was written by a number of people. >> it was written by bill moyers. he wrote that. there was a call and response kind of thing that caught on. that was an early one. >> call and response? >> "not senator goldwater." and then the crowd respond. >> senator humphrey had ambitions for the presidency for quite a while. he toyed with it in 1952 and made a real bid in 1960. harry was finally at the convention accepting the vice- presidential nomination. you can see how excited he was about the moment. he earned the nickname "the happy warrior." he loved politics, right? >> he loved politics. he was joyful about politics. he believed it was a way to better the country, to change the country. it was an innocent way. he believed in the american people. he really believed in our system. that was the way for him to change the country. >> another clip, and this was later on in 1974 when hubert humphrey made audiotapes. we're going to use some of those throughout th

you start with lyndon johnson. in my estimation, no knowledge of military fairs in general, and in many ways rather obtuse as well. secretary of defense, robert, is the same, no real knowledge of military affairs, and then we get to general earl wheeler, and many mist -- and in my estimation, he's the main problem, and he endorsed westmoreland's idea that fire power and going in the jungles was the way to conduct the war, so he was no help. i speculate -- well, i'll go further than that -- i assert the three main people in chain of command who had the authority if they had chosen to use it, to replace westmoreland lacked the knowledge and even the confidence to do that, but there were others who were working hard to try to achieve the objective that i believe should have been sought, and one of the most important referred to is general harold k. johnson. general johnson was the army chief of staff, and early on, he conducted a study, it's known as the proven study -- p-r-o-v-e-n study, and that said flat out what t

we talked about the lyndon johnson television commercials. they had a few in the can boasting about the civil war -- civil-rights deal. they did not run those. the idea of a backlash and civil rights was already present. in california, in the book i publish a headline in the new york times, what backlash did not develop? maybe people would vote for barry goldwater because there were so terrified of blacks having civil rights. in california on the same day that lyndon johnson won by 1 million votes, there was also a vote for a referendum. the of referendum was on open housing. by 1 million votes, californians voted to reject the idea of open housing trade to reject a law that says you cannot discriminate on the basis of race to whom you rent your home. the idea of a backlash against civil rights was a tent at the time and became the most explosive issue in american politics in the decades to come. >> if you look at what happened in 1952 when dwight eisenhower won, but you look at the south and the impact the civil rights vote have for democrat

vietnam war under lyndon johnson was gradualism. we're going to tighten the screw and eventually they're going to give up. yeah right. i think if barry had been president, and i'm not saying it would have been a good move or a bad move. i'm not sure. but i think he would have come in with with what later became the co-lynn powell doctrine. if you're going to go to war, you have to go with the attitude that you want to win it in the next hour. that's his attitude. then he said we lost the war in vietnam for one reason. the politicians tried to run the war. in his quote. and politicians don't know their ass from a hot rock about running a war. that was his quote. i think he would have taken a far more aggressive approach to it, as compared to johnson's gradualism, which dragged out almost as long as our current wars. >> what kind of a president would he have been? >> barry would have been something we don't see too often today. i think he would have been a very honest president. i think he would have been very candid as he was his who

thank you. >> lyndon johnson -- the most famous moment between lyndon johnson -- lyndon johnson and wallace came in the midst of the selma crisis in which president johnson brought him to washington, or actually, governor wallace volunteered to meet with him where he got people treatment from lyndon johnson. he was pretty intimidated by the whole process, but he was not alone in that respect. lyndon johnson intimidated everyone. that was, of course, in the early 1960's. the last hurrah for the kind of racial campaign came in 1970 against albert brewer, who had been one of his proteges. he replaced his wife as governor. in the wake of that campaign, it was a pretty all out use of the race issue, attacks that brewer was a candidate of blacks. in the aftermath of that, politically, he said to many of his aides that this was the last campaign he would be able to run like this. the public mood of voters was changing and black voters were fully enfranchised at that moment. when he emotionally chain, that, i think, really comes later on. >> as we discussed with dan carter a little earlier, george

film earlier lyndon johnson had to deal with this in china when mao and the chinese got nuclear weapons now made direct threats to nuke the united states and of course lyndon johnson explored military options etc and of course they didn't take the chinese nuclear weapons probably for the same reasons that they didn't know where they were like iran so i think you can deter this we have thousands of nuclear warheads russia has thousands of nuclear warheads around what have a few and they haven't even put them on a missile yet missile design takes a lot of technology etc so they've shown that they can design a warhead that will fit on a missile hitting the missile over here we've seen north korea had a lot of problems with that so we're not in the panic mode yet it seems to me at least from what i'm reading that israel is the country that is sort of making the strongest threats against what could be coming out of iran and i want to get your think that what about these claims to the u.n. officials are to the officials of the united nations that it was actually foreign scientists who stepped

lyndon johnson, the majority leader of the senate, had also suffered a heart attack.spend the night at london's branch -- lyndon's grant. we got there late. mrs. johnson was very upset because the doctor told her about lyndon johnson should be sleeping. and he was get up -- he was up until 2:00 in the morning. on the way home, just the two of us for traveling. adlai stevenson said to me, if i want the nomination next year, i will have to run in the primaries. i said, they are right. if president eisenhower does not to run, every democrat is going to want the nomination and you'll have to fight for it. if president eisenhower does run, you ought to forget about it. he said, i am not going to run in those primaries. i am not going to be a candidate like i am running for sheriff. i am not gone to do. of course, he ended up doing it because that is where the system -- that is the way the system operated. >> joe m. los angeles, we are talking about adlai stevenson. >> i want to jump ahead to the 1960's. what you thought his relationship with the kennedys was. i know he was

thank you. >> lyndon johnson -- the most famous moment between lyndon johnson and wallace came in the midst of the selma crisis in which president johnson brought him to washington, or actually, governor wallace volunteered to meet with him where he got the full treatment from lyndon johnson. he was pretty intimidated by the whole process, but he was not alone in that respect. lyndon johnson intimidated everyone. that was, of course, in the early 1960's. the last hurrah for the kind of racial campaign came in 1970 against albert brewer, who had been one of his proteges. he replaced his wife as governor. in the wake of that campaign, it was a pretty all out use of the race issue, attacks that brewer was a candidate of blacks. in the aftermath of that, politically, he said to many of his aides that this was the last campaign he would be able to run like this. the public mood of voters was changing and black voters were fully enfranchised at that moment. when he emotionally changed -- that, i think, really comes later on. >> as we discussed with dan carter a little earlier, george kellne

is the moment when you, jerry come also gunned down the brand new president of the united states lyndon johnson. you at the white house, to get from their what happened? >> i wasn't at the white house. this was about 2:15 in the morning after the assassination and we were all kennedy in detail agents that were standing watch and president kennedy if he came out of sight he would notify the security command post and we get the word around the press was moving. the vice president before he became president usually had about two agents with him. one would be inside and the other out with so he had no idea the protocol and i hadn't slept about 40 hours since i was hallucinating and the shift agent was still just emotionally from her dallas so he pointed to the johnson submachine gun that we have on the post, and so we placed them there not knowing whether it was a conspiracy or not we were pretty much on edge. when i heard the noises coming from around the house and all of a sudden i had the weapon to my shoulder and the figure on might trigger i didn't notice it but you can recognize lyndo

economy with a look at what poverty actually means it's been after all fifty years since president lyndon johnson made this speech and a call to all americans to join the army in a different kind of war this is ministration. here and. declares some visual war on poverty in america. and our urge grew stronger zano a murderer. to join with me in that effort. the war on poverty speech made on january eighth one thousand nine hundred sixty four so how have things changed today and how well is the enemy in other words poverty really understood kalen board exam of the poverty level in america and talks to some who say it's but right to whoa. michael says i never dreamed he would be here in st frustration that i think for us it was a duty in that when you get to say three years i reckon i'll be standing in a food line pick it up. but after his unemployment benefits ran out food for others became the only way to feed his ten year old son something he doesn't think politicians in washington understand i don't see them out here ok. here in pennsylvania avenue. we are you living in the real world u.

lyndon johnson, you mentioned, he's best known for vietnam, of course, and his foreign policy. and, actually, most republicans at the time were very firm on the idea that johnson should fight in vietnam, goldwater criticized johnson for not standing up aggressively enough to communism in vietnam. so that was actually the republican position during the johnson years was, if anything, to be more aggressive against north vietnam. >> who makes foreign policy? who creates foreign policy? is it the intellectuals, is it the scholastic types, or is it presidents? >> it's presidents, yeah. that's what i found. i think that the influence of intellectuals is overrated. i mean, probably the best example in recent years is neoconservativism. a lot of ink was spilled on the subject, neoconservativism. and really if you look at the bush years, talking about george w. bush, it was president bush that made the key decisions whether to invade iraq, how to invade iraq, how to follow up these actions later on. sometimes he did it in ways that neoconservatives didn't like. so at the end of the day

economy with a look at what poverty actually means it's been after all fifty years since president lyndon johnson made this speech and called all americans to join the army but in a different kind of way this administration. and. the players in vision the war on poverty in america. and i. urge there's no more room. to join with me in that. out war on poverty speech made on january eighth one thousand nine hundred sixty four so how have things changed today and how well is the enemy in other words poverty really understood kalen ford examines the poverty level in america and shows us some of the faces of the people who say that it is set way too low. michael suggs never dreamed he would be here. and i think for us it was a duty in afghanistan a few years in iraq standing in a food. but after his unemployment benefits ran out food for others became the only way to feed his ten year old son something he doesn't think politicians in washington understand i don't see them out here ok. here in pennsylvania avenue. where are you living in the real world u.s. census figures show that forty six po

he had the most delegates by way of lyndon johnson. he had some sway with the delegates that would nominate him for president. >> that is a critical moment in terms of political history. humphrey is the last nominee who gets the nomination not to the primary process. you get people but the other big city leaders and union leaders to get behind humphrey almost out of anger at the counterculture movement and the anti-war movement. daley is not only beating up on protesters in the street, he is beating up on media inside the convention. it is a horrible scene. in terms of the eighth american public that is watching this, a huge turn off. >> richard daley was determined to have law and order. >> the police were there and the national guard are all on the streets. they are whipping heads. it is a really horrible scene. humphry is put in a position of saying he stands with what the bosses against people who are breaking down law and order civilization. the anarchist in the streets and the drugs that are being featured in the free sex. he is

host: here is a chart that your organization produced about lyndon johnson. this tweet question -- guest: eisenhower did it. of course, he moved troops to desegregate. people forget that. abraham lincoln set out to do was completed with a republican president. he did not go to congress for that action. host: can you think of any during the johnson administration when the bill passed? guest: in the johnson administration, what stands out is, johnson had come to the presidency as majority leader. he had this uncanny ability to work with members of congress. to me, the tragedy of lyndon johnson, on the domestic, he was so brilliant, but got it wrong in a war of attrition under the auspices of west and more land. he is crafting these coalitions with these republicans. it was a master class. that is why we felt obama should do that, which he tried with boehner, but back then, you did have more of an ability of the leaders of congress to take the party with them. today, on the republican side, that is open to question. --t: a view forom an e-mail guest: i agree on

the only one close to that number was lyndon johnson of 44%.richard nixon was at 50 and presses carter and clinton at 51%. joining me is the author of the new york best-seller, fox news contributor, the one only brother rove. sir, how are you? >> fantastic. how about you? >> okay. i don't see a white board. i can't figure out the city. oh, he's got -- all right, go ahead. >> you were talking about that approval number. i think it's also important to put into context where he's dropping. so if you look inside that number, among all voters he's dropped since the time of us inaugural about 23 points but among young voters 27, women 26, college grads 24, hispanics and independents 23. remember, these are all five groups that propelled him to victory the last time around and the decline is precipitous, at or above the national average. then if you take a look at seniors who were not in his camp last time around and middle class and working class, household income between 5,000 and 7,999 a month and 2,000 to 4,999 a month, he's dropped 28 and 24 resp

he became coach when lyndon johnson was president. some say his coaching legacy has been tainted by what he did not do off of the field. paterno did report the assault to his boss at the time, but critics say if he had followed up he might have prevented other boys from being abused. they say it is a painful time. cam bases spoke with the former baltimore colts player who knows him well. she is live in the studio. >> before he was a running back, mitchell played at penn state from 1968 until 1972. he says the scandal is a sad day for penn state football. >> news hit home for a lot of penn state fans and alumni. >> i think like most people and probably the penn state family, you felt a sickness in the stomach where we always felt we did the right things and did it with class. it is devastating to all of us. >> he played a football at penn state before going onto the nfl. he worked with sandusky and kept in touch over the years. he was shocked as anyone to learn of the allegations. >> i don't know what to think. obviously, we never susp

he had pictures of him ministering to lyndon johnson when lyndon johnson was at the hospital in bethesda, maryland. reverend wright, a marine, was assisting with the medical care of the president. my father reagan was actually further over than reverend wright. everybody was talking about reverend wright, how could he say this? you should listen to my old man. my father was worse. but i wanted people to understand number one that reverend wright was not some marginal figure in black america. he represented a considerable and historic stream of thought within black america. and i wanted people to understand the experiences that would lead someone to take the position that he took. i use my father to help with that purpose. my father was born in 1917 in louisiana. he suffered terribly under white supremacist depression. my parents were refugees from the jim crow south. i was born in columbia, south carolina in 1954. have my father why did you leave? my father said he left because he thought two things were going to happen. either he was going to be killed or he was going to kill somebody.

but let's talk about lyndon johnson. i think, i didn't have time to cover this in the prepared remarks but i think you could also say besides the other criticisms i have leveled at him that in the course of his conduct of the war, general wes morgan was guilty of macro disobedience. and the reason i say that is in early 1966, favor of that year, there was a major conference in honolulu. one way of conducting the war was to have conferences periodically, various locations, and the president would comment, sometimes. and lyndon johnson came to the conference in honolulu in february 1966, and westmoreland came from vietnam, and so did the two senior vietnamese, president chu and the vice president as they then were. and the point of this conference was to boost american support for classification. which you've already heard me say, westmoreland ignored and his intelligence said, and someone. and so it's not just lyndon johnson focusing on gilmore vc, although lots of times when he said that, but now he is saying hey, we've

pictures of them administering to lyndon johnson when lyndon johnson was at the hospital.the naval hospital in bethesda md. reverend right, a marine, was, you know, assisting with the medical care of the president. so my father, again, my father was actually further over that reverend right. everyone is talking about reverend right, how can you possibly say this? listen. he should listen to my old man. my father would reward you. but i wanted people to understand, reverend right was not some marginal figure in black america. he represented a considerable and historic stream of thought, and i wanted people to understand the experiences that would lead someone of his vantage to take the position that he took. and i use my father to help with that pedagogical purpose. my father was born in 1917 in louisiana. he suffered terribly under white supremacist oppression. my parents were refugees from the jim crow south. i was born in columbia, south carolina in 1954. as my father, what did you leave the iraqis set straight out, he let this out because he thought by the two things ar

he is the fifth american president to visit australian bert lyndon johnson, george bush, and bill clinton. it is a big deal for australians to have a visit by an american president. it is kind of one of those punching above its weight moments for australia, a country of only 22 million people. it is third time lucky. president obama had to cancel to earlier visits for pressing domestic needs. he has now arrived. the third time lucky. the prime minister of australia walking out with the governor general to meet the president and first lady of air force one. an important moment. she had a bit of a shaky start in terms of foreign policy, but she seems to have settled down and the role of prime minister. australia sees itself as a power broker between the united states and china. china is australia's number one export markets. but america is it's number one strategic ally. the president is coming to celebrate the anniversary of the treaty between the united states and australia back in 1951. it is an important moment for australia. every major conflict, australians have fought alongside ameri
