when lyndon johnson heard that the d.c. ommissioner selected layton to run the npd days after the president's 1964 triumph he was irate. late in seem content to run the department as his predecessor dennin johnson who at clear ambition to reform and excerpt more authority over the npd finally was ordered to circumvent the new chief. in 1967 johnson appointed walter washington ,-com,-com ma the last presidential appointment to the d.c. commission in the first one to these designated mayor commissioner and later under home rule the city's first elected mayor. upon appointment as mayor commissioner washington brought in patrick murphy form a chief of police of syracuse new york is director of public safety. murphy launched an drive to higher -- and implemented the various recommendations of johnson's crime commission. in 1968 europe yesterday the leadership changed selecting a technocrat with regressive leanings jerry wilson to replace layton as mpd police chief. with or without the help of congress johnson showed determination

more importantly, i've seen leaders like president lyndon baines johnson who was in my lifetime who worked meticulously after the movement led by martin king and unknown soldiers, pushed the idea of voting rights act to 65. if you read the story of lyndon baines johnson you'll find out he went one vote at a time, republicans and democrats and brought a bipartisan house and senate together to vote for that act. you will find out as a senior member of the judiciary committee in 2006, we painstakingly, painstakingly collected 15,000 pages of testimony, people pleading from all of the states that were covered and said we need the voting rights act of 1965. what i want to say john, is that this is an american legislation. this is an american initiative. this is about protecting the rights of all americans. i don't know why people don't think that whether you're white american hispanic or asian, a woman, you all have civil rights. we all have civil rights. the voting rights act was on the basis of civil rights. >> john: exactly. >> so my fear is this... one, the emotion that rose up in me was ba

lyndon johnson understood this. and senator dirksen were great friends. they were able to work together and accomplish the public needs. thingk that is the one that has been lost. >> how much interest do you find in your colleagues in the house today in trying to reachieve that common spirit even your political foes? you been reading about how have remained close friends with some of the people you were fighting battles with. do you find those members coming in seeking out to learn about that time? >> every force in our society fights the way congress should work. members hit townsomewhere around 3:00, 4:00 in the afternoon on monday or tuesday, the first act is to tell the staff of what is the first plane i can get out of here on thursday or friday? so we give the folks a three- day work week. aty say we don't see you home but i'm supposed to be working down there on the nation's business. is of for important things we ought to be friends. we don't have the time to achieve that friendship. we don't have the time to begin to work together. short terms, of

i'mou ask a conservative -- sorry, 1964, he would say lyndon johnson. and a conservative would say goldwater. so that is one distinction. >> are you a neoconservative? >> i was born in 1977. the people he is talking about has mostly made their move by them. i think the term means a little less than it used to. it has also come to be used as a term about foreign policy. to the 1980s and became a much more prominent term in the last decade. but i do identify with a lot of .he early neo-conservatives socialied to apply science and politics in a way that led them to conservatism. they tried the empirical. they tried to be concrete. they tried to be constructive. so they were a little less theoretical and a little more engaged with politics than earlier generations of conservatives. and i am drawn to that. i think it matters that politics the practical. i think it matters that they answer the particular concerns and needs of the country at the moment. and it's the policy oriented. in that respect, i certainly look up to irving kristol as a great intellectual

lyndon johnson had the civil rights movement. i think we begin with that. this book comes out at a moment when the country sees the power and possibility of occupy, 99%, and how that has shifted. it is still evolving. it has shifted the center of political gravity of our dialogue. the issue has been off the radar for so long. >> roosevelt surfed and harnessed those movements. he used them to get legislation passed to initiate programs. obama is still getting on his wet suit. to read the essay she wrote in 2008, there was a sense of exhibits -- exuberance. you say that hope is not optimism that expects things to turn out well. it seems like he confused those two things. >> i will come back to what i write about in the book. the expectations were so great and high. go back to 2008. the back to the election and year when we are fortunate region were fortunate enough to be living with debates that were not cruel reality shows. every week, there were debates among the democratic candidates. barack obama embodied change. it seemed he brought into politics a gener

provision of the 1965 voting rights act, generally considered the crowning achievement of the lyndon johnson administration and the most important civil rights legislation of the 20th century. among other things, the 1965 law required nine states with a long history of racial discrimination, mostly in the south, to submit any new voting procedures to the justice department before it could be implemented. but chief justice john roberts, for a five-judge majority, said the formula for determining which states are affected was too antiquated. "our country has changed," said roberts. "while any racial discrimination in voting is too much, congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions." if the affirmative action case was the longest awaited decision of the year, the same-sex marriage cases were the most anxiously awaited, and on wednesday, the last day of the term, the court delivered a pair of big victories for gay rights. the decisions brought jubilation to supporters of same-sex marriage, here running from the courthouse with victory li

. >> it was signed into law by president lyndon johnson. the voting rights act of 1965. widely considered to be one of the most effective pieces of civil rights legislation passed in the last 50 years. the act prohibits states from imposing any voting qualification or prerequisite to voting or enacting any standard practice or procedure that denies any u.s. citizen the right to vote on the basis of race. after the enactment, states could no longer deny african- americans the right to vote. segregation had been the law of the land. civil rights workers were murdered. african-american churches and the homes of african-american leaders were routinely bombed. under section 5 of the act, states and localities with a history of discrimination must seek preclearance of changes in voting rules that could have an impact on minorities. on tuesday of this past week in a 5-4 decision in shelby county versus holder, the supreme court struck down 4 of the act that provided the formula that governed which jurisdictions were required to have voting changes precleared. the court's majori

two years after martin luther king's "i have a dream speech," president lyndon b. johnsonned the voting rights act. but this morning almost half a century after it was first passed, the supreme court struck down a key portion of the law. chief justice robert's position is that the world does not look the same as it did in 1965. according to roberts, our country has changed and while any racial discrimination in voting is too much, congress must ensure that the legislation it pass toes remedy that problem speaks to current conditions. congress had overwhelmingly extended the voting rights act as recently as 2006 for another 25 years. in a statement today president obama said he is deeply disappointed with the ruling, saying, quote, voting discrimination still exists and while today's decision is a setback, it does not represent the end of our efforts to end voting discrimination. but as justice roberts reports, black voter turnout was higher than white turnout in five of the six states included in the voting rights act. joining me is reverend jesse jackson, who was at the "

if you asked a conservative in 1968, a seminole year, he'd say lyndon johnson. lyndon he would say johnson. and a conservative would say goldwater. that's one distinction. are you a neoconservative? >> i was born in 1977. people he's talking about had mostly made their move by then. just means the term a little less than it used to. it's come to be understand, a foreign policy. that happened through the 1980s and became a much more prominent really in the last decade. but i do identify with a lot of neoconservatives. they did not moving from left to right and the reason they moved from left to right is they tried to apply -- they tried to apply politics in a to led them to conservatism. they tried to be liberal, concrete, and constructive. were a little less theoretical and more engaged in olitics than the earlier generations of conservatives. i'm drawn to that. politicst matters that be practical. they need to answer the needs of it country at the moment and matters that it be policy oriented. respect, i look up to irving crystal as a great intellectual model. p

former president lyndon johnson signed the voting rights act into law in 1965 in major victory for civilights leader; congress last renewed the measure in 2006. chief justice john roberts wrote the majority opinion, saying the formula relies on decades-old election data. and does not reflect racial progress in our society. eric holder just hours ago joined civil rights groups in blasting this decision. >> i am deeply disappointed, deeply disappointed with the court's decision this. decision represents a serious setback for voting rights and has the potential to negatively affect millions of americans across the country. >> shepard: the ruling calls for congress to update the formula. shannon is live at the supreme court for us this afternoon. shannon, what's the fallout so far from the decision? >> all of. the 15 states that are covered jurisdictions will now getfree . they were under these requirements that if they're going to change any of their election procedures they have to get permission from the justice department because they met a formula from the 1960s, one that got at prevent

lyndon johnson got the help of the republicans, and they passed this thing, remember? now, what has happened is congress is losing its authority. the states are losing their authority, and where is the authority going to? now, when you have this voting rights act, what you're giving the authority to enforce it besides what's going to be ok for their past, it goes to the executive under the attorney general, so he decides which ases are going to be pushed. host: we'll talk about that, climb change and other issues, coming up with wisconsin congressman sean duffy. he'll join us to discuss all of those issues and the big issues facing his house committee this week. he's on the joint check and financial services. and then later, we'll continue the conversation about the supreme court's ruling today, struck down the voting rights act, section four of that, with texas representative shiell i can't jackson lee, right after this break. >> this sunday, american history tv, commemorates the 150th anniversary of the battle of gettysburg. >> this is one of the very few confederate

if somebody told me on august 6th, 1965, when president lyndon johnson signed the act into law that we would be fighting this fight, this battle again in 2013. >> what do you make of john roberts' argument and the majority ruling in this case? chief justice roberts arguing that essentially this law is a vestige of an earlier era, that the kind of discrimination that justified this type of remedy in the first place no longer require this kind of remedy? we need some different way of approaching these matters now, times have changed. >> well, the only thing i would have said to justice roberts if i had an opportunity to talk with him, i would say not to forget the past. not to forget the history. i would invite him and the other four members of the court to walk in my shoes. to travel with me through alabama. through the delta of mississippi. through southwest georgia. and not just walk in my shoes, but walk in the shoes of others that stood in those unmovable line. there's some history there. we cannot forget that history. as justice ginsburg said, if we tend to forget it, we will repea

national intelligence in all candor, sitting in a room and watching cnn and fox and the bbc and be lyndon johnson and have four television sets constantly going. you want him focused on his job. people should have walked in and said, mr. director, before you go out, the last three hours, four hours, you need to know the fog things have happened and big story on the wire is london and here is somebody to brief you on. >> he testified falsely underoath. back up two years, two months, woefully uninformed about something that virtually everybody knew about. >> he is the director of national intelligence. he doesn't necessarily need to know immediately about every cycle terrorist incident around the world to do his job, but before he goes on television, somebody who worked for him should have said mr. director, you need to know about this. >> you wouldn't expect to be informed? >> i don't know what his day was like. i saw what the day was like for the dni during summertime when we were in office and when president bush was in office and it is a very complicated job, and you spend your time not just lo

lyndon johnson knew how to channel that public grief into action.the public grieving and lbj in the white house, a real civil rights house, one with a public accommodations clause, became possible. on june 2, 1964 lbj signed one into law. something else happened that month, july 1964. less than two weeks after the civil rights act of 1964 was enacted, republicans gathered at cow palace in san francisco. i think it's still there. i think there's a minor league hockey team that plays there. anyway, they gathered in july 1964 and nominated for president a senator who had sided with the conservative southern democrat who is had tried to kill civil rights in the senate, barry g d goldwater. in the old confederacy he was a hit. goldwater fared better in the south in 1964 than just about any republican candidate since reconstruction fared. this was a clarifying national election for conservative white southerners who really began to see the national gop as their friend. it was a turning point. in is where nixon's southern strategy and reagan infamous visit

go back and look at this is go back and look at really no no it's not you go back and look at lyndon johnson's war poverty johnson took johnson cut the poverty rate in this country in half in five years cut it in half and what that did was that took a whole group of people who were below middle class in fact they were below poor and brought them up to lower middle class and that provided a launching pad for an entire middle class in among rural whites in urban blacks did not exist before that i have to check those numbers i never heard you look at the great society was actually a tremendous loss that democrats have since subsidize the formation of broken families by promoting well. maybe you know i mean if somebody is an employee of my own here and they can't get a job and then you give them i'm a check that's going to really go on equality inequality but in which the poor is expanding is because the poor are getting poorer because they have fewer and fewer social assets to draw on including marriage and what's worse the democrats are also hopped on immigration and like republican business guy

landau claimed he'd worked for every president since lyndon johnson, had served as chief of protocol the white house. >> rosenstein: but in fact, there is no evidence that barry landau was ever employed by any white house, or had any of the relationships he claimed to have, or indeed had any legitimate job at all. >> simon: the landau case, and a few others, let law enforcement know they had a problem they hadn't really been aware of until very recently. >> paul brachfeld: every institution now that has collections is threatened. we all know that there is a major threat and it's getting larger. >> simon: former secret service employee paul brachfeld is the inspector general of the national archives. he runs the tiny and little- known archival recovery team-- armed federal agents and historians who, along with the f.b.i., go after stolen national treasures. now, landau, was he a good thief? was he a good con man? >> brachfeld: from everybody i talked to, he was a master thief. because he did it over a duration of time. he shopped. he got what he shopped for. >> pelley: a trusted resea

and so actually walter anonberg had the philadelphia inquirer endorse lyndon johnson when he ran for president. so he didn't only support republicans, and the republicans he did support tended to be more centrist in relation to what we might see today. this is the yellow room. it is one of five historic guest rooms at sunnylands. this room was the preferred presidential room. so the reagans always stayed in this room. it has a beautiful view. so did the bushes, margaret thatcher was here, colin powell with his wife were here, so really a prestigious list of room presidents. like all the rooms in the guest wing, this was differentiated by its color. we have a pink room and the peach room and a green and blue room with this yellow room and actually if you were staying here, you would have color coordinated jellybeans and specially selected books to read. this room, as one of the earliest rooms also had twin beds. we have it set up that way. today if you visit sunnylands as a participant in one of our retreat's we actually changed this out and provide current retreat purchases with king

presidents like lyndon johnson, john kennedy, they were on the phone all the time.hey liked to be chief executives. kennedy, if you look during the cuba missile crisis, what are you going to do today? how is this working? who didn't get the contract? he knew everything like that stuff. and he was ready to go out there and play it. i get the feeling the president of the united states goes home at night, reads at night and probably serious stuff, maybe worries about his place in history, writes his speech now and then. he's not this kind of superexecutive, and i think that's the failing, but it isn't corruption. >> well, you know, the irs. since those analysts you've talked about. things have changed. the irs is now set up in a way that's supposed to influence it -- sorry, insulate it. the president only nominates the top two officials there. it would be hard to have that direct line. but also, let's pull back a second. if the president was trying really trying to use the irs to punish his political opponents, why, though, after these groups, these were mostly small g

lyndon johnson had to deal with vietnam that had begun under president kennedy. president obama had to contend with the wars in afghanistan and iraq that were begun under president bush. and it isn't as though any president can take office and easily suddenly change the course of foreign policy overnight. and so, you know, in that sense, i think candidates are entirely sincere. president obama, i suspect, was entire lly sincere with his intentions to defend civil liberties, to close guantanamo bay. once you're in office and the barriers to doing that, the price to be paid for doing it, looks very different. >> it is a fascinating look at the evolution, each one of these men, each one of the presidents as they go from candidate to leader and one with a second term. nancy gibbs, thank you, very good discussion. really appreciate it. >>> she's one of the most popular women in the world. hillary clinton, many are wondering if she's going to run for president in 2016. others are asking who is going to play her in a movie about her life. well, we actually know who the

i hope president barack obama will do what lyndon johnson did finally. went to the congress and made a national speech to the congress and to the nation arguing the morality and the legality of a comprehensive voting rights act based upon need. i hope president obama will make such an emergency address to the nation. we'll be very busy with expensive lawsuits. we need the highest level of national strength on this one. >> now, nancy pelosi today is calling top democrats trying to gather support and momentum right away about the voting rights act decision that came down. the democrats will be very much engaged in it. no question. the key player here is the speaker of the house. what confidence do you have that john boehner is going to recognize any political pressure or need for social change to fix what has been destroyed? when he is a conservative. the conservative court. we know how they work hand in hand. we know what their ideological mission is. what confidence do you have, reverend, that john boehner will be an honest broker in this? >> so far, he

that's him towering over president lyndon johnson as he signed it into law.on capitol hill. it nearly cost him his election that year. dingell also championed medicare and was there for the signing of that landmark bill. when congress passed health care reform three years ago, then house speaker nancy pelosi used the same gavel that dingell when he presided over the house when it passed medicare in 1965. chairman of the house energy and commerce committee for 28 years, his overall record is that of a liberal democrat willing to wield his considerable power to bring government officials to heal. >> i don't want to leave this around here too long because my republican colleagues when they see money that belong to ordinary people want to take it away from them and give it to the oil companies. >> dean of the house since 1995, he swears in the speaker of every new congress. four so far. while on capitol hill, he has seen 11 presidents, a moon landing, four wars and so much more. at 86, he has no plans to walk away. >> the gentleman from texas is out of order. >>

had a magical journey in the united states to emigrate in numbers starting in the '70s after lyndon johnson reform and in one generation, they have gone on to become top players in this country, today we're at a point there likely to become the federal appeals court judge as you can tell from the opening passage we have moviemakers, politicians and a distinct it does involve some of the other luminaries to cast a shadow on the community for a while. i remember when i started writing this book, i was at a gala and a prominent indian american that headset a bank came up to me and said why this book? in uk tel on some level his own sense of security was threatened to this episode even though he had nothing to do with that. >> host: it is ironic they mentioned in your after word in the book that there was a clear money trail and a link but that was not the case. but to come to a conclusion because their business partners so therefore he is benefiting but clearly there was a payoff if he sang like a canary so it seems to somehow unfair they probably will get a second career back home for cody th

johnson in his multivolume history points out president lyndon johnson at the time was looking for a reason to go to war so if the tonkin gulf didn't happen something something else would have come longfellow would have resulted in us going into the war. it just so happened that tonkin gulf was sort of an egregious example of where intelligence failed and where it failed, it failed that nsa and it failed at the white house on that level where you had a secretary of defense that was in such a hurry to bomb north vietnam that it didn't matter what the intercepts actually said. basically you tailor them to your premade conclusion. the weapons of mass destruction scandal and iraq is another example where nsa, you just had a small part of the intelligence failure. >> it was the political process that got it wrong? >> there have been examples where nsa got it right and analysts had finally gotten it wrong. for example the 1960s soviet invasion of czechoslovakia. all the evidence from intelligence and from other sources clearly indicated that the soldiers would militarily crush the czech go

a decade later president lyndon johnson was still smarting from criticisms he had received from republican challenger barry goldwater that johnson had let the district descend into a chaos of crime. despite his triumphant election returns, the president was keen to appoint a special committee on crime in the district of columbia in july 1965. the task force spent a good part of its time assessing the work of the d.c.'s metropolitan police department, and he concluded its analysis with a stark admonition. no one in the district of columbia should underestimate the gulf of experience and misunderstanding which separates police from negro citizens. to form the base of its police recommendations, the commission recruited the international association of chiefs of police or iacp to recommend structural changes to the mpd. and the professional association was by now well accustomed to its role as experts consulted to speed the transition to a more professional police culture. the organizational trend that most jumped out at the iacp when it looked at d.c.'s police was the fact that it had one of
