[laughter] except for any other reason. and i got a friend from a mutual -- i got a call from a mutual friend who lived in moreland who said bird -- in texas everyone called lady bird "bird," she knows you've been in moreland, so she knows you know about alice, and about -- i never stated i was interviewing mrs. johnson who was of immense help to me. wii was interviewing her at her office in austin, and all of a sudden her secretary was saying this saturday she'd like you to come to the ranch and do do the interviews there. so we sat down -- i'm talki

lyndon johnson does. that is one of the differences between -- that takes place in the transition between jfk and lbj. by 1964, the rhetoric changes. you don't get that from jfk that much. on the tapes. on the other hand, there are these moments, publicly, where war to say, it is their win. we can help them, we can assist them. he also says i think it would be a mistake to withdraw. that is not to mean that he does not think that we have to stay there until we win. the question of what is his actual posture towards vietnam, and where would he have been later on -- my personal sense is that he would have tried to stay in vietnam and to have supported some portion of the south vietnam to maintain sovereignty below the 17th parallel. that is what it is all about for him. what that looks like, what roger helton was pursuing, whether it , there isore sabotage a good chance it would have as well. i think there is skepticism about american prospects pushing on to victory. i think that was there throughout. >> fo

todayerestingly enough, is the anniversary of medicare. 54 years ago under lyndon johnson and a democraticongress, they brought a new program in. please don't tell me that in a four year period we cannot go from 55 to 45 to 35. this is not radical. amy: as democratic presidential candidates debate overhauling the nation's heathcare, we look back to 1965 when lyndon johnson signed into law the bill that led to medicare and medicaid despite massive pushback from the healthcare industry. then we will look at the rapid melting of greenland ice sheet and what it means for the rest , of the earth. lost 160y alone at bibillion n tons of ice. ththat is roroughly thee equivat of 64 million olympic-sized swimming pools. amy: but first, we will go to dallas to look at the tragic death of tony timpa, a mentally ill man who died in 2016 after calling 911 for help. shocking new police body-cam video has just come out. dallas pololice officers shackld him and laughed as he died. >> help me! >> get on the ground. >> you are going to kill me! amy: all of that and more, coming up. to democracy now, democrac

lyndon was his boss. robert kennedy didn't like lyndon as vice president, and had triggered an investigation into bobby baker that is why the department of justice was covering down on bobby baker which would splash on lyndon. and his brother could pick, a new beep but jack went and got shot, so now lyndon is president and robert kennedy is no longer attorney general. and they still got to prosecute bobby baker, but bill does it with such skill, that lyndon johnson's name never comes up. that is talent. because johnson was his boss. his whole time he was taking bribes and giving orders and everything else, dirty as can be. leon is a johnson protigi. so he doesn't want pittman to get that, he is one of his favorite guys, there is an indictment meeting this is the third bullet, on january 31, 1974 there is two people taking notes. there is the recorder, taking the notes, who will be indicted and what is said, and there is the james set, that he is going to use to write the report. there are others, but the

andhere were already -- that was during lyndon johnson's administration. so there were already these patterns of conservative republicans, half of the republican party, joining with half of the democratic already, southern democrats, and being a conservative bloc. outside of that, you had a tremendous amount of room for politicians as you say to reach across the aisle. at this point, i worked at the national journal about 10 years ago and we did a survey every year about polar already. when we first did the survey, there were about 10 or 12, 15 republicans who voted to the the most conservative democrat. and there were 10 or 12 or 15 democrats that voted to the right of the most liberal republican. by the time i got around to doing it in the 1990's, there were zero. and there are a lot of reasons for that. part of that was the civil rights and the effect that the movement had on the south and the south becoming solid for the republicans. brand ofgingrich's take no prisoners campaigning, the rise of fox news, seeking to make a buck by dividing people, talk

to gain support for these programs, lyndon b. johnson agreed to set it up as a taxpayer-funded version of the private health care system with , all the same built in triggers , incentives for more expensive care, and what the market will bear approach to pricing, we are -- worsening the inflationary spiral we deal with to this day. these are the problems we have been struggling to fix ever since but there are huge barriers to change, among them the powerful stakeholders who benefited from this system have -- and thus resist any form of cost-cutting. this resistance has grown as the u.s. has moved from an industrial to post industrial economy. health care has become a major economic engine in the u.s. about 20% of our gdp. it has attracted venture capital funding because of the reliability of investor returns and the high quality employment opportunities it provides. but that also means it is rife with political landmines. mess with any aspect of that economic juggernaut and you mess , with somebody's bottom line and their lobbyis

lyndon johnson's abdication. the murder of martin luther king. the murder of robert kennedy, and the huge rivalry at the democratic national convention in chicago. all of that led up to november of when nixon was elected. 1968 he almost didn't make it. by 500,000 votes in one of the closest elections ever. he barely clinched the republican election. profiting from the blunders of his rival, michigan governor george romney. mitt romney's dad was the republican front-runner until he attempted to change his position on the vietnam war. he claimed he had been brainwashed by the pentagon. romney was considered a bit of a lightweight. this did not persuade the skeptical public that he had the rains are the guts to become the next commander in chief. eugene mccarthy rose to the occasion. brainwashed, he said when told of romney's gash. would have been sufficient. it was during that 1968 race of the election, that the nixon campaign pulled off a dirty trick that i argued, in my book, was worse than anything he did outward. in october of that year, lyndon

when lyndon johnson left office, he stayed on through richard nixon's presidency. and finally died in the position of fbi director in may of 1972. throughout this period, as you can see, hoover lasted -- one of the great themes in this world of bipartisan politics, he lasted through eight presidents, through two dozen attorneys general, republicans and democrats alike. he was, of course, never elected to this position, but was reappointed repeatedly. over the course of his career he built the fbi from being a rather small and insignificant bureaucracy -- the investigative ,ing of the justice department into a substantial part of the security state and an institution that was created wholly within his own control and his own image. -- and in his own image. thatnswer to how he did tends to emphasize a lot of these kind of deep state terms. i think most prominently, the idea that hoover controlled so much power and lasted for such a long time by ruling through fear , through intimidation, by creating a bureaucracy that emphasized secrecy. i suggested, began manipulati

the neighbors help and the time that everyone has taken but i want to second the request pho for lyndon and e we're moving 11 car-parking spaces and you're able to find similar space for the moda space and this is ask for increased parking management. it would be great to take a look at the area and find some that could be daytime slowin loadinge and if we could have them run for two, three or four hours so guests could park for a good length of time. it's challenging in the city and i'm not saying that we shouldn't remove 11 parking spaces but what i always say is that we can manage the parking in the area to make sure that everybody who needs to park can park. they may not do it for free and it may not be uncontrolled but we absolutely can park. i want to just refer back to the hayes valley neighborhood association letter, that had a really good request in there which was to take a bigger look, again, at the area, and adopt a green mobility framework, prioritizing managing private car traffic. when i'm sitting on the 21 hayes which i do a lot in outbound direction, we get stuck in tra

considde pre lyndon johnson. >> lyndon johnson grew up in texas which is a state of the confederacy.onhnson had to deal with all sorts of rampant racists in texas. and when he was speaking to them he spoke a language that they could understand, a language that e wouldn't speak in public a language they wouldn't speak in other conxts. but he was also one who is very effective at getting people to go along with him. >> we have somebody like lyndon johnson on tape saying all kinds of awful things abouacrace, sayingt things, saying discriminatory things, saying sexist things. we also know that during his presidency, he is instrumental in really forcing congress to pass the most comprehensive civil rights bill the nation had ever seen. and so all of those things can be true and coexist at the same time. >> desjardins: the renewed debate over esident reagan and race comes as he has become a touchstone for leaders in both parties.oc last month dtic house speaker nancy pelosi referred to some of reagan's pro-immigrant words to rebuke president tmp. >> he is denigrating all of thec newcomers th

[laughter] >> you see, at that time, 32 million documents. you had 40,000 boxes, each of these boxes holds about 800 pages. that's the only time i felt like turning around and going home. chris: caro says he has one big rule when interviewing. your notebooks are filled with a notation. s.u -- [laughter] what does that mean in. >> shut up. [laughter] people have a desire, a need to fill in silences. if you can just make yourself shut up, often they'll tell you what you want to know. chris: then there's writing. caro remembers what a professor at princeton told him -- >> you're never going to achieve what you want to achieve, mr. caro, unless you stop thinking with your fingers. i knew exactly what he meant. it was so easy for me to write. i didn't think things through. chris: which brings us back to his final book on lbj which is about a third written. caro took us into his office. >> this is the outline of the rest of my last volum

jfk and lyndon johnson who was by the way reluctant. it was really linda johnson who i don't like on anything but lyndon johnson pushed the space program at kennedy went ahead and signed onto it. the idea was also the soviet union was getting the reputation of you want this done you've got to become a communist country. we had in american history at the time and that was very important. the notion was important that we have at least at the time political support to spend. bringing the centers together many who knew each other since this is the bureaucratic thing but let's have a beer and talk this over. i want to go through this very quickly but i think that you will get the point. you wilyou'll get a very brief y of the space policy about the time of the moon landing through to today. thomas paine had those folks saying we can have a permanent moon base by the 1970s and worked our way and go on to mars by 1981 or in the early '80s. they've already built the hardware. it's not a humongous round and usually the public interest was kind o

here is president lyndon johnson, sorry it is such a big quote -- here is president lyndon johnson speaking at the signing ceremony for the 1964 civil rights act, which took on julyt coincidentally 2, the anniversary of the date when the constitutional congress had declared independence. this is lyndon johnson. a small band of valiant men began a long battle for freedom. they pledged their freedom and honor to forge an ideal of freedom. not only for political independence but for personal liberty, not only to eliminate foreign rule but to establish the rule of justice in the affairs of men. we believe that all men are created equal, yet many are still denied equal treatment. we believe that all men have certain unalienable rights, yet many americans do not enjoy those rights. we believe that all men are entitled to the blessings of liberty, yet still millions are being deprived of those blessings not because of their own failures but because of the color of their skin. in our own time, numerous civil rights activists, including disability advocates, labor advocates, immigration advocates, a

from 1965 to 1967, lyndon johnson takes over for the assassinated john f. kennedy. he suggests wiretapping should be outlawed. there are a couple of cases, and katz versus the united states. they change the tune. they sigh wiretaps have to follow the -- they say wiretaps, they have to specify the crime think ear investigating, specify the place to be searched, specify the conversations to be seen. in 196, congress follows suit, sets specific standards for obtaining wiretaps. this will not stop them overall. they will go on to target other confrontational political groups, including the black panther party, which it helped to destroy with informants, misinformation and violence. the american indian movement which ends with a violent 1971 seeing 1971 siege at wounded knee, south dakota. and we'll talk about others in our reading discussion. and then in 1975, watergate, revelations in "the new york times" of government spying prompt the creation of a special congressional committee led by senator frank church. the democrats from idaho to investigate the intelligence co

lyndon johnson, you had john f kennedy working on a civil rights platform and you had dwight eisenhowerho sent federal troops to little rook to integrate the high school. so we have had generations of the president acting in a way to try to heal racial division certainly from the presidency even if the campaigns weren't always like that and now you have a president that is seeking to exploit it for political gain to exploit racial tension to speak in racist terms and that is so, so different. >> two journalists staying with us over the break. our conversation continues right after this. smart bed it can ... with your sleep number setting. can it help keep me asleep? yes, it senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. save up to $600 on select sleep number 360 smart beds. only for a limited time. we're on the move. hey rick, all good? oh yeah, we're good. we're good. terminix. defenders of home. >>> we are not called to tolerate each other, we are called to love one another. so we must acknowledge as a country that as much as white supremacy manifests it

the commission was created by lyndon johnson. the commission has been mentioned before, but no scholar has explored this particular commission in depth. lyndon johnson created it in 1968 and charged it with investigating "any and every planned to meet the income needs of all american people. challenge --our income needs of all american people." johnson said our challenge was to provide for americans to may need protection. it was specifically looking into universal bake -- basic income. e-cig income was not a radical idea during 1960's. there was a broad consensus across the political spectrum. that consensus include martin luther king jr. and milton friedman. much of the interest was driven by the reality of the historical moment. in 1968 hadoverty focused on the long run creation of opportunities in employment, housing, and education rather than transfer programs. but that failed to eliminate poverty, which had been the expectation of many americans used inrhetoric johnson fighting the war on poverty. in 1960 nine, african amer

that is why i put this picture up with president lyndon johnson. by august of 1967, president johnson announced that the u.s. had on its side, the great park arc of asian and pacific nations. ie, the asean states, japan and south korea. he understood and in press conferences he said so that ann asian nations were suspicious of china. lyndon johnson argued that a reverse domino effect was in play and he was not the only one that noticed. from '68 to '69, the soviet union admitted to american officials that the american predominance in the pacific was pretty much a fact. a valuable check against the common enemy, china. br breznev tried to collect a framework to the asean countries, but this fell flat. the asean countries were not interested in jumping on the soviet bandwagon. in 1969, the man responsible for the day-to-day running of chinese foreign policy expressed frustration. he expressed frustration that china was encircled and isolated on most key policy issues. he would years later admit that the forces for containing china in southeast asia w

it was really lyndon johnson, why don't like politically, pretty much on anything.it was lyndon johnson who pretty much pushed the space program and kennedy went ahead and signed onto it. the idea was also, the soviet union was getting the reputation of, you want some stuff done, you've got to become a communist country. this was part of our way of saying a free and open system can do better. by way, we had american industry at the time and that was important. the notion of notebook rogers. we did have political support to spend the big bucks necessary to get us to the moon. finally, very important, nasa was not a big bureaucracy at the time. nasa had just started to be cobbled together in the late 1950s. by eisenhower. and bringing various centers at langley for example, together. at this point, it was still a lot of folks that said yeah, this is the bureaucratic thing. but let's go out and have a beer to talk this thing over. it wasn't the barack to see you have now. that's what got us to the moon. what's keeping us from mars? well, i want to start with the Ãtalk

here at little round top, vice president lyndon baynes johnson shows up, former president wight david emuseum. if you look to the right, find the circle object, that's the building which the national park service debuts in march of 1962. and you can see all those little white specks are cars, thousands. we always gripe about parking. i can't get a good place to park by the visitor center. see, it's the same. it's the same. gettysburg is going to see over two million people, two million people com to celebrate, reenact 789, but it's also an occasion where governors and dignitaries can talk about the kimp air civil rights movement. so here, the governor of new jersey, who's laying a wreath at one of the new jersey monuments on cemetery ridge, ses this occasion, his oration, to talk about the unfulfilled promises of the american civil war. in 1963, he's telling, reminding listeners that the civil war was not fought to presembt union white or jim crow, but it was fought for liberty and justice for all, lay a wreath and zpwf like deliver an oration is george wallace. george wallace comes t
