lyndon: absolutely.e will bring the service to all the states we operate and expand internationally. emily: like where? lyndon: where do you go first? australia, nigeria, many african countries where the cost of energy is $.40 per kilowatt hour. the energy market is one of the biggest in the world. we wrestle on where we would expand to first. emily: last question, what day do you think a large number of people in this country will be able to live off the grid? lyndon: i think that is design. -- bad design. if we end up there, it's because of bad policy. right solution is to get everyone with solar and provide services to the grid and utility rates actually go down instead of going up every year. emily: lyndon rive thank you for breaking it down for us. solar city ceo. lyndon: thank you for having me. emily: in this week's edition of "wiring the world" -- the bionic eye may sound like science fiction but it is a reality. >> with his wife at his side this is his first time seeing the famous ferris wheel a

he is the author of nine books including the triumph and tragedy of lyndon johnson. originally published in 1992 by simon and schuster the book has been re- released and is now back in publication. that's a very unusual in the book industry for a book that is 20 plus years to be released and it speaks to the excellence of this volume. tonight joe will talk about his book and about altruistic generous, bluntly honest accountability thing we devious all within the same few minutes. [laughter] bob is the longtime host of face the nation, the talkshow for now the fourth year in a row. he has won virtually every major award in the news business and in 2008 was named a living legend by the library of congress. while he never had the opportunity to interview lbj, he's conducted straight interview is with every president since lbj from richard nixon through barack obama. put simply, he is the very best competitive business. [applause] thank you all so much for coming tonight. i hope we are going to have some fun here. adjust for disclosure, we are old friends. i've interview

poverty rate is close to what it was in lyndon johnson's time >> actually it has been reduced and columbia researchers found out with a plemental income forecasting that the poverty rate has gone down from 29 to 16%. so it has gone down with new metrics but going through the original point of view or the point that you were raising is that you could free up the government from issuing food stamps if you raise the minimum wage from $7.50 and had the private sector paying fair livable wages at $12 an hour. >> they don't have jobs. >> if i might finish then with those jobs more than $7.50 they wouldn't also have to supplement their incomes by the federal government with food stamps. that would be one cost reduction that would accrue to the government and have the private sector paying for it for the productivity of the workers. >> final word john? >> look buzzwords, it's meaningless. you took about the minimum wage as a feel good panacea. >> tell that to the millions of americans. >> i'm sorry we have to go. auto i'll sure this debate is going to continue. >>> "cavuto on business" in about 20

you see images of lyndon johnson poring over a table and looking at possible places to bomb.hoosing the targets. i think other presidents after that do not want to be seen that way. we do not want to be viewed as that. johnson ended up not running for office again in large part because of the way things were going, and that i think was something they wanted to avoid. host: you mentioned images that linger. tonight on american history tv we will be showing the abc news special report from may 26 1975. abc news was reporting on events that had taken place in the weeks following the fall of saigon. here is a short clip from that reporting. [video clip] >> we delay the start of "the tonight show" starring johnny carson to bring you the following nbc news special report. >> at 12:00 noon on april 30, a north vietnamese tank broke the gate down at the palace of saigon. the communist soldier ran the enemy flag across the lot. to this day, the communist won. it is not a celebration. saigon had already surrendered. [gunfire] host: professor kalb, how long are those images going to lin

victory for senator mccarthy simply because he achieved 42% of the vote against incumbent president lyndon johnson. president johnson was stunned by the new hampshire vote and with gene mccarthy showing how weak johnson was, another democratic senator saw an opening. >> i do not run for the presidency merely to oppose any man, but to propose new policies. i run because i am convinced that this country is on a perilous course and because i have such strong feelings about what must be done and i feel that i am lodged to do all that i can. i run to seek new policies, policies to end the bloodshed in vietnam and in our cities. policies to close the gap that now exists between black and white, between rich and poor, between young and old in this country and around the rest of the world. >> together, those two senators, gene mccarthy and bobby kennedy knocked the front-runner out of the race for the democratic nomination two weeks after bobby kennedy announced his candidacy, president lyndon johnson surrendered. >> i shall not seek and i will not accept the nomination of my party for another ter

so that led to lyndon johnson's war on poverty. i love that story. >> host: "the new york times":the lot of smaller papers did they get into the local area? >> i don't know. i don't think so now. i did not look at them. i looked more at the independent weeklies there are a half you like my home town of colorado london as soon even including telluride but we are just about the people in and those that work there a better ranchers. so our paper became a the talk show -- taco shell. that is too bad i like to see more bribing -- thriving paper. >> host: rick tupper pressures to the publishers face not to report negative stories if you are of a city like telluride based on tourism? >> guest: that is a very good question but i did pose that question to then the owner and editor of the daily in telluride she was trained in new york and they were hard-core journalist and they found out if you ben the rules a little bit you were taught don't let the people see the article first but just to relax people a little bit here sarah will write thi

lyndon, i want to get right to it. last october the fed stormed into your small store.ized your bank account with more than $100,000. what was the reason? >> they said it was the way we were doing our deposits. called structuring of deposits. >> so you were depositing just under $10,000 at a time which raised their suspicion. if you deposit more than 10,000 that's tracked. when people are making these deposits that are just underneath that they're trying to do something wrong or hide money or launder it. that's obviously what they were implying. how did you prove that's not what you were doing? >> i told them that's not what we were doing. we were making our deposits. they were saying, if you make two deposits in a 24-hour period more than $10,000, they consider that structuring. melissa: why? >> that's the way -- that was the answer they give me when they told me they had seized all my assets and my business accounts. melissa: why did you have so much cash? was that what you were making in the store? >> no, we had 60, 65 out for checks. that hadn't been cashed out of 1

we had the war on poverty declared by lyndon b. johnson and, of course, we have the war for a quality. all of that is consuming headlines for not just i can signify but seemingly the entire decade. thomas paine once put these are the times that try men's souls during the american revolution. i say that for the 1960s because these were turbulent times. everything was going on in selma, everything happening racism was ubiquitous across the nation. so because of that i think this crashed in and of itself just didn't get the attention it deserved because it happens in quote-unquote small town u.s.a., wichita, kansas. i arrived at by paula air force base. i knew of the "wizard of oz" and toto. it was about to begin to imagine me sitting there in this new city taking in my surroundings and listening to the instructors who were there. at something called first term airman center. during this time is basically an increasing are doing about the history of the city and they did. i'm hearing about the city and all these things that happen and

and i got lyndon johnson and the best lyndon johnson was david levine. and the greatest character turz of last 20th century. and most often in noefrj the review of books. lbj had a famous gallbladder operation and a photograph of him. he was a famous as well as famous everything else. the picture. he is holing up. showing his you normal. the scar from his global. and the new york review. it's a wonderful caricature. and the scars will be vietnam that he is showing. that seem to sum up the vulgarity you have the president. and his personal possession of the vietnam water that is why we kept on escalating and it sealed to be a profound comment on so many things that were going on at the time. it of all in one shot. it is. always a personal question. and i think that what you can do a good job touching very much depends on who you are. i think that i would never myself. i would not have drawn him that way. it would be stupid for me and punching down as gary said. but someone in a muslim country did a picture of mohammed or published the charlie hebdo cartoo

[indiscernible] brian: the little fellow there is patrick lyndon nugent. we saw a brief clip of jean allen. tell us about jean allen. kate: i love this video. he was a butler who the movie "the butler" was loosely based on. charles tells a great story about how he was in the infantry in vietnam. he said, please ask president johnson, is there anything he can do to get me out of this? i will be in the air force anything else. eugene allen said, if this was president kennedy or anyone else, maybe i could help you but i don't have the relationship with him. they are not supposed to ask for favors. that is a big ask. charles told me that it was just heartbreaking for him. he really wanted his father to push. eugene allen was the penultimate butler. he never asked for favors. he was very diligent. people say that he was not the one who asked for a raise for the black staff. i've been told that that was not something he would do. he respected the institution of the presidency. the way the staff was paid, a lot of the african-american staff were not paid as well

. >> lyndon johnson. >> absolutely. defense is a very good offense, but don't you, even you, adam find it offensive? >> i mean roosevelt is a great example. he was hated by his own people. he was seen as a traitor to his class was the expression that was used. no i don't find anything of this offensive. i think -- >> you do a little bit, adam come on. a little bit. >> here's the little bit. let me finish charlie. here's the little bit. i think a speculation tax is a dumb idea. i actually think that the banking regulation that we have done has been a very good idea. so the banks are whining right now they can't make money anymore. i think we are better off with the banks more regulated and safer. but i don't think we should stop people from investing or from gambling even with their investments. so long as we have good rules in place to protect people. >> that didn't answer my question. i have no idea what you're talking about but i agree. i do know what he's talking about. but what he's saying is that bernie sanders wan

president lyndon johnson ew to independence, missouri and in the presence of harry s.man signed the bills into law. medicaid covered the health care costs of millions of low-income people. we asked henry aaron if that met our sponsibilities to tseho couldn't afford medicacare is wouldn't be a problem if all stes provided benefits as generous ashose in say the upper third or upper half of the distribution. sometates provide meager medicaid benefits-- fewer than 10 days a year ofospitalization severe limits on the number of doctor's visits one can receive-- so that evenoderate illnesses may not be fully protected under the medicaid program. in addition, the population that may be served by the medicaid program in many states is quite narrowly defined. so notwithstandi e fact thamedicaid is the fedel health program for the poor millions of poor americans are not covered by any benefits at all they don't have government protection or private insurance because they're unemployed or because they work in jobs that don't provide such coverage. about 15% to 20% of the american

head start got its start in the summer of 1965, as one salvo in president lyndon johnson's war on povertyearly education program for low-income children supported their social, emotional and physical needs and got them ready for elementary school. it drew high-profile supporters, including the president's wife lady bird johnson... and actor gregory peck. >> sadly, there are little children who are already headed for lives of frustration and misery. no one ever read them a story taught them a nursery rhyme or showed them about letters, colors and numbers. when they start school, they'll be so far behind the others they may never catch up. >> in 1965 i was sitting on the porch of our shack in ames, texas with my mother and a woman approached the house. she introduced herself and told my mother she represented a new program called head start. >> reporter: darren walker's mother signed him up in the program's inaugural year, and he recently shared his story at a gathering of supporters and alumni from around the country hosted by the national head start association. it let me begin to imagine

not just lyndon johnson had a big nose. the best lyndon johnson was by david levine, the greatest caricaturist of the last half of the 20th century. he did new york review. lbj had a famous gold letter operation and there was a photograph of him, because he was a famous bulgarian, as well as famous everything else, and in the picture he is holding up this shirt and he is showing his scarf. the new york review gets a wonderful caricature of l aj -- lbj, and it shows that of the annam. it seemed to sum up the ball garrity -- the vulgarity of the president, his personal possession of the vietnam war which is why kept escalating. it seemed to be a profound, and on so many things that were going on at the time that nobody -- the cartoon got it all in one shot. mr. rosenbaum: to think there is anything for you any of you, that is beyond the limits that you wouldn't touch? ms. crabapple: i think what you could do a good job touching his dependent upon who you are. i don't think i would draw mohammed myself. i wouldn't draw him, no

and that led to lyndon johnson's war on poverty. so it started with the mountain eagle. i just love that story. >> host: judy muller, "the new york times" for a long time owned a lot of smaller papers. did they get down into the into the local weeklies? >> guest: i don't know. no, i don't think so now. i really didn't look at that, so i really looked more at infeint weeklies. there are -- independent weeklies. there are a couple like the one in my hometown norwood, colorado that is owned by something of a chain. he owns three papers including one in telluride which is just up the river from us. we like to think we're telluride adjacent but our town is just a thousand people. and they're the people who work in telluride or ranchers. and so our paper kind of, it kind of became the taco in the taco shell of the bigger paper in telluride. oh and by the way here's what's going on in norwood, you know? and that's too bad because i'd love to see a more thriving paper come back. >> host: but if you're in a town like telluride colorado, and ranching and skiing is the livelihood o

you can ask how surprised they were to be among the first means of lyndon johnson. here comes the hard part. i gather from the letter he has reason to feel comfortable with you. i don't other reasons, but i can guess them. [laughter] caroline: i just wanted to tell you with all my heart this is one thing that really meant something to jack. love jackie. after resolving his differences with moynihan as he always stayed from him in all of us, he found a way to make it happen. and so many ways, both private and public, she defines the role of first lady for the modern age. she straddled two areas. the one she describes in the oral history when women stayed home and had few opinions that differ from their husbands in the coming age when women broke free to become independent and self supporting. she lived fully involved. as the first lady she took the traditional women's focus on the hog and transformed it into a full-time job and a source of national pride. in doing so, she created her own identity as an independent woman. she became an international sensation, a new k

i mean, not just lyndon johnson had a big nose, so i'll do a a big nose and of that lyndon johnson. best lyndon johnson was by david ravine. the greatest caricaturist of the last half of the 20th century and most often the new york review of books. lbj had a famous called operation and there was a photograph of him because he was a famous bulgarian as well as famous everything else. and in the picture he is holding up his shirt and showing his scarf and his gallbladder. in the new york review it's a wonderful caricature of lbj same picture but the stars were vietnam that is probably showing. and that seemed to sum up the vulgarity of the president his personal possession of the vietnam war which is why we kept escalating. i mean,, profound comment on so many things that were going on at the time and the cartoon company all-in-one one-shot. >> do you think there are anything, any of you are beyond the limits for that you would not touch? >> well i mean, well, i mean it is always a personal question. what you can do a good job touching very much depends on who you are. i would never d

you might have known that lyndon johnson taped off his cell phone conversations in the white house. she lady bird did not know she was being taped for making a record for history commended is quite a wonderful one for scholars. this is scholars. this is a conversation or ladybird is critiquing lyndon johnson's performance in a public event. >> i thought that it was wrong. an honorable you were looking down. there was a pickup in general. your facial expression. they didn't like it's he said. [laughter] >> therein lies the reason we talk about 1st ladies. what other advisor could be that candid to a president? >> you spencer maybe. >> what are we hearing? >> they owned television stations. she had the background. with his 1st ladies in some ways are to their husbands whether it is in an official capacity or not. she wants them to be as successful as he does. >> and that clip shows you when you talk about this the various attributes that they bring to the table mrs. johnson like mrs. obama thinks it a very organized way. very well structured. famous for i don't have a schedule. i like

johnson -- lyndon b. johnson.had the war on poverty, and of course, we had the war for equality. so all of that is consuming the headlines for not just 1965, but seemingly the entire decade. thomas paine once wrote these are the times that try men's souls during the american revolution well, i say that for the 1960s because these were turbulent times. everything was happening racism was ubiquitous across the nation. so because of that i think this crash in and of itself just did not get the attention it deserved because it happens in, quote-unquote, small town usa wichita, kansas. i had never been to kansas before, i arrived in 2003. i knew of the wizard of oz and to the o. -- toto. so you can imagine me taking in my surroundings and listening to the instructors who were there. they have something called the first term airmen's center, and it's basically an in briefing. you learn about the is history of the city, and i did. so i'm hearing about the city and all these things that have happened, and there's a short

since lyndon johnson put in his war on poverty, i do not know how many times of dollars has been spent the black community. and they have not gone anywhere. it has gotten worse and worse and worse. host: what do you think is the long-term solution? caller: a balanced situation where the black family has to be brought back. fathers have to be put back into the situation. you have black on black crime which, of course, you tell us in the media -- and i'm not picking you up. host: i understand. caller: don't bring up that there are murders and washington d.c., in chicago, in baltimore, in every city in this country. black on black crime. host: which creates that cycle of poverty. caller: the cycle of poverty is created by ease of getting from the government what you need. there's welfare and everything else. so there is no necessity to work, to do the righ tthing. host: my point is if you grow up in a single-family without a father, often that leads to more poverty for those families. caller: yes, it does. host: the father figure is out of picture even longer. caller: the family has been

if we look 50 years ago lyndon b.nson launched war on poverty but it is not helping if anything what we've done is created an entitlement nation. we spend more money on means tested programs than most countries entire budget. >> on the other side of the coin, you could say that the programs initiated bit president have helped people and no question that people are helped by these programs, and i wouldn't deny that for one second. i think that should be part of this debate. >> well absolutely. we're not saying those programs aren't helping people but argument made here is the fact that we've created this entitlement nation and that we're spending entirely way too much on these money, and amount of money that we're spending we're not getting the performance from those dollars that we should. that is what needs to be evaluated here. is we absolutely, you know, not advocating to not help individuals, but we with need to make sure that money is being used efficiently and it hasn't been. >> we haven't really answered the qu
