like the equal opportunity, the equal opportunity order that johnson put forward in 1965, lyndon b johnsonative action. it had to do with contracting. i just in what universe do people really believe that dei or affirmative action means people who are unqualified are getting opportunity? the unqualified opportunities i see are happening at the highest levels of our federal government. >> the secretary of defense. >> thank you, because the president wanted him to and he was unqualified. like when you see and to be clear, white women are the biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action policies. they have. >> been the last. >> 30 years. >> that's talk about them. gaps between educational gaps and women in the workforce, white women in the workforce. you better thank president johnson and affirmative action. >> well. >> the veterans affirmative action. that's dei how the veteran contracts. >> and let's. >> be clear, you know, art fletcher. who is the father of modern day affirmative action during the nixon years, really sort of crystallizing what you referenced, the sort of the contracting, th

harrison en 1841, hablo durante 02:30, un total de mas de 8000 palabras, el mas inesperado, el de lyndon b. johnsonen un avion tras el asesinato de john f. kennedy el mismo dia, dos anos despues, johnson fue elegido a la presidencia y dio paso a otra tradicion al pedirle a su esposa aguantar la biblia al juramentarse. tras el discurso, unun dfile y la llegada a la casa blanca. trump lo hizo por primera vez hace ocho anos y este lunes repetira sus pasos, entre otras costumbres del dia, una que comenzo ronald reagan al escribirle una nota de fel felicitaciones a su sucesor, george h.w. bush. desde entonces, cada presidente lo ha hecho sin importar partidos, guardandola en el buro de la oficina oval. si biden le deja una nota a trump, seria el pr primero en recibir y escribir una carta a la misma persona. hoy en dia, este es un momento que el pueblo vive junto al mandatario. la primera toma de posesion televisada fue en 1949 y la primera en vivo por internet en 1993. y bueno, este lunes se espera la asistencia de todos los ex presidentes de estados unidos, al igual que miembros del congreso de ambos p

be the biggest release of presidential secrets since we found out what the 'b' stands for in lyndon b. johnsonananas." the order doesn't specify a release date for these files, but once they come out, we're finally gonna get clear answers on the jfk assassination, a tragic event that spawned decades of conspiracy theories. but once we read the files, occam's razor tells us the true answer will be the simplest one: the cia worked with fidel castro, the mafia, and the dallas police to train russian dolphins to swim from the gulf of mexico up through the sewers onto the grassy knoll, where, at the last second, their teeny, flipper-mounted missile launchers were jammed by radio interference from a nearby station playing the crystals' "da doo ron ron," while at the exact moment, jfk died chocking on one of those tiny silica gel packets that say "do not eat." zapruder was in on it. and who benefited? lyndon "bananas" johnson. ladies and gentlemen. remember the first rule of conspiracies. follow the monkey. turns out, trump isn't the first president to release info on jfk's assassination. biden also

monies that were started in the 1960s by lyndon b johnson and monies that disproportionally go to kidsy for all. what is your reaction? >> it is heartbreaking that is an evil lie that misleads and frightens parents. the teacher unions know their business model is over parents have a way out of failing schools. this is what they do they just live. studies show the exact opposite of what randi weingarten is saying print their showing time and again the students who benefit the most from school choice programs are the students who are struggling the most under the current system. parents of student disabilities overwhelmingly support school choice. parents of minority students who have been historically trapped in failing schools. the very this thing this country could do to struggling now is to give parents full and complete education the ability to choose where, when, how their children will learn. >> president trump is taking action to swiftly remove diversity and inclusion in education what about that? >> chabad d di is dead on arriv. a single certain read, write and do math. 30% of e

kennedy, and making it part of the fight for civil-rights, president lyndon b. johnson repeal the quota system. he supported a bill that proponent said would not discriminate against people based on their country of origin. and they stressed it would prioritize skilled workers and family members of people in the u.s. but would not increase the overall number of migrants. >> those promises were absolutely central to selling the bill. the advocates of the bill understood americans did not want a huge increase in immigration. laura: johnson signed it into law at the base of the statue of liberty, and emphasized it did not represent radical change. >> this bill that we will sign today is not a revolutionary bill. it does not affect the lives of millions. >> the law did in fact transform our immigration system, and in particular, led to vastly more immigration. amna: although the legislation contained annual caps on immigration, there was one important exception. family members of naturalized u.s. citizens. >> if i came and then i wanted to bring members of my family over in

and social media accounts, and president trump revoked an executive order signed by president lyndon b johnson65 that banned discrimination in federal contracting, and that was seen as a bedrock civil rights measure. that measure is now gone now. i've been talking to trump administration officials, including the white house press secretary, who told me that this is really, again, president trump doing well and making sure that he is fulfilling the campaign promise that he had told his voters. and that really galvanized people to back him. and she said, in part, this is returning america to a merit based society, though there is a lot of criticism for this as well. i talked to the president of the naacp who said that this is really a buzzword. diversity, equity, inclusion. and this is really the president going after all sorts of terms or all sorts of programs and initiatives that would help level the playing field and push back against bias in our country. he said in part, that people should not be distracted by other core issues, like the massive transfer of wealth and the gutting of federal

on tuesday, he revoked the equal employment opportunity rule that was signed by president lyndon b johnsonminate against job applicants or workers on the basis of race, gender and other protected characteristics. this is a policy that was paid for in blood by the civil rights movement, and in 2023, white people still in the majority of federal workers at 59.5% and men are still outnumbering women 55% to 45%. 74% of senior executive level positions held by white workers. reversing these initiatives could lead to a huge backslide on progress. but isn't this just the most blatant permission to be able to discriminate? >> it sure is. i appreciate that you just laid out those facts, right? like what you just presented is evidence, and there's a corpus of evidence that's been produced by really credible researchers that show durable and persistent patterns of inequity and discrimination. we're going to see more of that, and it's going to cost the federal government, and it's going to cost the private sector. what i mean by that is as diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are rolled back, w

i found my students do not learn the first time dared as several people have said, lyndon b. johnsoneally did not want to sign, but he did it. he did it over the projection of all the bureaucracies. after all, it had a simple proposition. everything is made public unless there is an exception. it did not apply to congress. big surprise. does not apply to the judiciary. unlike many state foia laws that do apply. the original did not apply to the president and still does not apply to the president. presidential records finally came available thanks to richard nixon when he withheld all of his presidential records and congress stepped in and said, no , no, no, you cannot do that. and, at the same time, they passed the presidential records act which makes presidential records subject to availability, but not until i think it is 12 years after the president leaves office and there are a number of exceptions to it as well. two things about this. one is, strangely, the one exemption which i find to be the most troublesome under exemption five allows internal records to be withheld. it does

including the equal opportunity, equal employment opportunity order of 1965 that was signed by lyndon b johnsont is something that trying to get dye out, trying to go against all of those issues and change things, it's not just in the federal government. he also directed each agency to identify what it is up to. nine potential civil compliance investigations of either publicly traded companies, large nonprofit corporations, associations, foundations with assets of $500 million of more higher education institutions on and on. so they want to make sure that this is not just the federal government, but it sets the standard for the nation. >> yeah. and in addition to that, the office of opv, the office of policy and management, they had put out a memo that told employees and all the agencies subsequently have repeated the language that in order to get rid of dei, they believe the trump white house believes that some agencies have tried to implement these dei programs, but by another name. so they've directed all employees to find these secret dei programs and to report them with a special email. so

that's what the executive order that lyndon b johnson signed all those years ago was really about.ional systems that are, you know, we talk about the gap between men and women. we heard a lot about that during the campaign. right? part of the upward mobility of women in this country, disproportionately white women, has been due to affirmative action. d programs. so i do think it is very, very important that we pull back the layer and think about what we are really talking about here. and nikole hannah-jones has talked, i just think the best about this, and this is really this is a backlash. this is people saying this is this is playing at the worst of who we are at our core of americans, people who feel like if someone else is getting a if someone else is getting equity, it means i'm down right somehow that this is an attack on on on on on on. essentially white men in america, the dei programs are giving people a leg up that don't deserve one. and that is actually just not true. but the way that these programs and these initiatives have been talked about, frankly, in their most bas
