and 20 of them were so fearful of lyndon johnson that they did it. they didn't vote. >> 20 nonvotes. >> that is astonishing, they're sworn to vote. he put the fear of god them and they did not vote. now, marshall, yes, was confirmed, but you have to pay attention to the arcane rules of the senate. if the southerners and those who didn't like marshall -- if they could stop the white house they reached 60 votes, then the could filibuster the nomination to death. so they got only a handful of votes over the 60 votes. so it really was a close vote when you look at it that way. and the white house had some concerns going against its congressmen. adam clayton powell was on the run, just been thrown out of congress for ethics violation. people were linking adam clayton powell and thurgood marshall's name in the media, writing letters to the senate, and to the president on the last day of the hearings. detroit erupts in a massive race riot. >> milwaukee. >> yes, milwaukee erupted in a massive riot. the riots were gans of decades of pain and lack of opportuni

40s and 50s without being opposed to civil rights and pro- segregationist and that was true of lyndon johnson but when johnson could do something about the issue of civil rights, he seized that opportunity. when he says that the senate became the most powerful senate majority leader in our history come he used the occasion to pass 1957 civil rights act which was largely a row of it other than the fact it was the first meaningful committee only piece of civil rights legislation since reconstruction and nearly 100 years. it was also largely at lbj's hand because he knew he couldn't get anything meaningful through congress. but it was important symbolically to show that there was progress on the road towards equal rights for all americans. he has an opportunity to make civil rights a reality and what of the things he does is calls everyone who matters during the time of a time of crisis. politicians, union leaders and indicates david is referring to come a 36-year-old civil rights leader named martin luther king. it was on the evening late in the evening as it happens of november 25, 1963 on wha

lyndon johnson realized he was no longer in charge of the war. lose? >> i had 36 when we started. we got 21 killed. >> what were you thinking about? >> i was thinking of my wife and my baby that i haven't seen, i guess. i got a baby coming in june. that was on my mind. i just knew we were going to get overrun. >> if you look at the history of vietnam, it was a tragic comedy of errors from beginning to end. and the tragedy of johnson is that he achieved remarkable things, particularly in terms of civil rights, but will be remembered for vietnam. >> it's the full shakespearean wheel of fortune, the man who has nothing who rises to everything and then loses it all. >> in a moment of tragedy and trauma, the duties of this office fell upon me with america's sons in the field far away, with america's future under challenge right here at home, i have concluded that i should not permit the presidency to become involved in the partisan divisions that are developing in this political year. accordingly, i shall not seek and i will not accept the nomination

. >> lyndon johnson, always has the stone of vietnam around him. >> lyndon johnson is a common murderer. >> johnson did things that no other president did. civil rights, great society. he should have been somebody that every young person in every liberal would have celebrated. but they didn't. he became the vietnam war president. >> they have been told repeatedly we're succeeding, we're defeating them. they can't hold on. johnson kept saying there's light at the end of the tunnel. >> this is a cbs news special report. saigon under fire. >> the enemy in vietnam has demolished the myth that a live military strength controls that country. >> the american embassy is under siege. inside are the vietcong terror squads that charged in during the night. >> the tet offensive was an enormous game changer. they were shooting up the american embassy. they had hit dozens of cities all over vietnam. it was a tremendous shock. >> we have known for several months now that the communist planned a massive, winter-spring offensive. we do not think that our military operations are going to be at all materi

interesting thing about him is he actually was lyndon johnson mentor. wall, youppear on the will see that although he was a mentor, by the time johnson was their relationship but obviously slayed. led filibuster against the civil rights act. the democrats knew that they could not break the filibuster ofhout enlisting the support the republicans. to enlist the support of the republicans, they had to go to this man, the senate minority they needed him and his republican to vote in favor of closure to end the filibuster and ultimately pass the legislation. after adding some he threw to title vii his support hundred 64 civil rights act. he ultimately pass the act. act, it working on the is point out the contact in the social history of the time area and people were dissatisfied. street you have more militant groups advocating for stronger measures is the civil rights. particularly mathematics gave his own suit. the comic depicts you are trying to shelter political support for the civil rights thatagainst the backlash was coming out from extremist demonstrati

richard russell was lyndon johnson's mentor. wall, will look on the you will see that although he was johnson's mentor, by the time johnson was president their had obviously frayed a bit as depicted in the comic. russell led filibuster against the civil rights act. the democrats knew that they could not break the filibuster without enlisting the support of the republicans. to enlist the support of the republicans, they had to court every dirksen, the senate minority leader, the leader of the republicans in the senate. they need him and his republicans to vote in favor of closure to end the filibuster and ultimately pass the legislation. after adding some amendments to title vii which were fairly minor in scope, everett dirksen threw his support behind the 64 civil rights act. they ultimately passed the act. as they are working on the act, it is important to point out the context of the social history of the time. a lot of people on the streets were dissatisfied with the slow progress of the bill. outside on the streets, you had m

george bush passed more domestic legislation than any president except lyndon johnson and franklin roosevelt, little known fact. little-known fact. and if george bush passed more good conservative legislation than any president in history. he's a foreign-policy president and not a domestic policy president and i think that's because the domestic policy achievements are sort of overshadowed by the amazing things he did in foreign-policy. so let's put up a collapse of the soviet union and where george bush was instrumental in not. george bush was the vice president. he watched as reagan did the most important thing for those years. it was the military strength. he rebuilt the army and navy and marines. and the soviet union was watching. and gorbachev who came into power in the soviet union in the middle 80s began to understand that the soviets really could not catch up. and gorbachev came to the conclusion that he ought to try to figure out how to bring the soviet union into this family of nations so that there could be economic prosperity and the soviet union. ronald reagan built up the defen

despite this, eisenhower worked effectively with lyndon johnson. lyndon johnson was at the forefront not only of the bill creating nasa, but also the bill creating the national defense education act. privately, i know that views of johnson were a little different. one of his favorite lines that he would drag out is, "that fellow is such a phony." publicly, he worked well with johnson. he saw kinship with johnson. they both suffered heart attacks in 1955. came to work well with the other side, in many respects, eisenhower was better, especially after the democrats gained control over congress. eisenhower worked better, with democrats than the conservative wing of his own party. that is something that i think the candidates today should take note of. last night, there was a debate at the reagan library. the republican candidates are vying for the man like ronald reagan. reagan would not go off the quips with flags flying, he was not as ideologically rigid as people might think. once signed a bill, and one of his aides asked him, why did you sign that

no wonder lyndon johnson is president. >> what's behind all that syrup? syrup. so much syrup there. >> she was a tough person. you see that from the first essay she wrote in school and many of the conversations with him. but when she wanted to turn on the charm, she was a real people pleaser. i mean, and he used her, lyndon used her for that. on air force one, coming back from dallas that day in 1963, they called rose kennedy which must have been a really tough call to make and who did lyndon put on the phone to make it seem to be gracious and warm and in that difficult time? lady bird. he did it again and again. >> credit to her to put up with the guy. >> yes. >> i'm sure it was not an easy marriage. we won't go into that because the book does. a great book. now everybody loves politics. lady bird and lyndon. that's the name. the hidden story of a marriage that made a president. you're watching "hardball," the place for politics. >>> that's all for now. thanks for being with us. "all in with chris hayes" starts right now. >>> tonight on "all in" -- >> i have to

i don't know that lyndon johnson was that worried about being attacked personally.n barbara's diary. carter,ord, even because bush left the door to being cia director. he then famously, almost to the , almost trudeau put it putting his manhood in a blind trust by being so deferential to reagan. default position is that you do not complicate the life for president. then you go to 43. 43, i defy anybody to spend several minutes around george w. wasn'td think that he totally in charge. frankly, he believed he was getting the advice he needed to get. he asked his father about personnel, george tenet. if you read decision points it carefully, there are cases where he asked for his father's council, including whether or not jim baker might replace rumsfeld, including the ultimate appointment of bob gates to that job in 2006. i said to president bush 43 that i had a theory that he protested too much about how little he asked his father for fear of appearing overly dependent. 43 said, that is not about observation, which i took as a resounding yes. i really believe that the

kennedy: davey crockett, daniel boone, lyndon johnson, ernest hemingway. >> lyndon johnson takes jfkunt in texas and has two different endings, you got to decide which one you believe, whether it was the kennedy version. so cool. one of my favorite stories. he had his cadillac rigged out so he could deer hunt. definitely a texas thing. he had it rigged out and driving and shooting deer on the ranch, sounds like a lot of fun. kennedy: oh, willie. great guy. coming up everyone's favorite socialist bernie sanders playing the bongos. how you cannot wait to see that? >>> a defense attorney releases an ad that is so amazing, you may move to texas and break laws to hire them. another "topical storm," that is next. is next. >> usaa makes me feel like i'm a car buying expert in no time at all. there was no stress. it was in and out. if i buy a car through usaa, i know i'm getting a fair price. we realized, okay, this not only could be convenient, we could save a lot of money. i was like, wow, if i could save this much, then i could actually maybe upgrade a little bit. and it was just easy. us

four years later, new hampshire democrats dumped lyndon johnson by giving eugene mccarthy 47% of thee, they cast a decisive vote against the vietnam war. in 1980, they made ronald reagan president, telling george herbert walker bush that he would have to wait his turn. in the year 2000, they chose john mccain over george w. bush, a decision the country should have made. another early warning in a state that takes its first in the role seriously and to hurt. w. did not have the right stuff to be president. he lacked the one thing a president needs, discernment, the ability to separate the truth from the arguments, the right course from the pressure of the ideologues, special pleaders, and a national problem case known as dick cheney. in 2008, new hampshire gave a helpful warning to barack obama, in choosing hillary clinton, they said, they didn't like obama calling her "likable enough." they decided she was more than that, he a little less so. at least in those days of their decision, a little less likable than they had thought, and hubris hurts. new hampshire voters wants to make sur

after kennedy died this huge ego of lyndon johnson overflowed into the media and the country. if we had the saturation television coverage of the president that we have today, i think he would have really had a difficult time because he was just too much. he was so overbearing and overwhelming. he had something called the treatment, which worked beautifully in the senate, where he would invade the personal space of people like he is doing here and try to convince people of what he-- of his legislation or goal. here's another picture of the treatment here. still, another. you can see this guy looks like he is scared, doesn't he? what is he going to do next? , but this is what he did. this was conveyed on television and if so i think you'd be seen as a poet, but he tried to keep this behind closed doors. lyndon johnson was not successful as a celebrity present and did not understand popular culture and was not interested in movies, television so, as time went on his policies became more unpopular. he lost conch-- touch with people on the war in vietnam. by the end of his preside

he wanted to show that his predecessor's family bore him no ill will for the assassination. >> lyndon johnsonto take the reins of government, at which time president johnson will have to take into his hands the reins of the most powerful nation in the world. >> is there any doubt in your mind chief that oswald is the man that killed the president? >> i think this is the man that killed the president, yes, sir. >> is there any evidence any one else may have been linked with oswald to this shooting? >> at this time we don't believe so. >> i don't know what this is all about. >> did you kill the president? >> no, sir, i didn't. >> how dud you get the black eye? >> sir? >> did you shoot the president? >> i work in that building. >> were you in that building at the time? >> naturally if i work in that building, yes, sir. >> back up, man. >> did you shoot the president? >> i'm just a patsy. >> this is room 317, homicide bureau here at the dallas police station. as you see, they are bringing the weapon allegedly used in the assassination of president john f. kennedy this afternoon at 12:30 here in d

the symphony conductor who had first sensitized lyndon johnson to the concerns and who have been able to save the rule thanks to the personal intervention the of the presidents remarks delivered the podium and reflected the interpretation of the legislation that we sign today is not a revolutionary bill johnson said. but it's still one of the most important acts of the congress and of this administration so 50 years later we can see how that sort of backfired in the way that they didn't intend. what do you think is the significance of this legislative move and what lessons can we learn from that now. so this contributed to breaking the current immigration system because what you had is an increasing flow of people and their families coming in and prioritizing the visas and green cards which you probably know it's inevitable backlog. >> when president johnson and the state of the union address announced he was good to be to be working for the sticky question was what can you do for the country, not what country would you board. so his idea is that immigrants should be selected on the b

whether it's for lyndon johnson or whoever somebody you want to accurately portray and owe that to society remember him well, i don't always know exactly what i'm looking for. so i have to just be an open vessel and take in as much information as i possibly can. and you distill it down to a usable sense. every piece of theaterical whether it's a play or television show or movie, takes th thee at tri kal license. they have to otherwise far too long, too much material to handle it accurately. so what we try to do is to get to the core of the story. and even though dalton trombo was at the vanguard of trying to make the blacklist collapse, there were other many members of that hollywood community who contributed mightily to that cause. and dalton was one of them. >> speaking of taking license, you've said in an interview with another organization, i think "the huffington post" maybe, that you think donald trump's candidacy is great. explain what you mean. >> i think i said that i was excited that he was in the running because i think he's refreshing. i think there's -- the american people --

it was supposed to say that everyone has the right to vote and when lyndon johnson introduced the act in march 1965 he said very clearly, it is wrong, deadly wrong to deny any of your fellow americans the right to vote. it is important to appreciate the revolution because of the voting rights act and people like john lewis were able to be elected to congress because of the voting right. barack obama was able to be president because of the voting right act. this debate was never settle. there is another strand of american history and the revolution of 1965 led to an equally counter. we are seeing that when the supreme court gutted the voting rights act passing new laws, making it harder to vote. we are heading into a 2016 election that is going to be the first presidential election in 50 years that the full protection of the voting right act. does that so micah's micah situation in which democracies guarantee? >> you can watch this and other programs on my netbook to be.org. >> and outlook tvs coverage of the 12th annual louisiana book festival. all day, we'll be bringing new programs

when lyndon johnson rolled it out, he said of family breakdown, for this most of all, white america must accept responsibility. it comes from centuries of persecution of the negro man. how is it that this well intended report resulted in mass incarceration? moynahan, can you give me? -- hear me? as james mentioned, when moynahan wrote the report, his intention was really to address the myriad of discrepancies between black america and white america. he was somebody very obsessed with the idea of families, he looked at them among irish catholic communities and employees that approach to african-american communities. to fatheras not meant -- he wasthe lebanon interested in employment programs and ways of helping families. wasead, what we got was, he arguing for benevolence, and he initially got that investment. one thing that happened, why argue, is that the society was already angled a certain way. they viewed african-american authorities -- african-american through a particular lens. we think about the state retreating out of the lives of african american families, less be theent in what

can you look at it in the kind of -- you can look at it in the kind of when lyndon johnson, took the high ground and knock 'em down. that's wrong. that's not what the president did here. he probably waited too long to describe it. probably didn't describe it, he was overseas dealing with other issues. he was at a summit, talked about things that have worked in the past. secretary of state made somewhat of a misstatement, talking about he understood the way charlie hebdo was seemed and this seemed a lot more random. things didn't go very well but the basic argument remains the same from where the president is standing. we have committed to this and none of the people who perpetrated this terror in paris were syrian refugees so this is where he is sitting. >> michael, politics tends to fill a vacuum. and perhaps you have a vacuum in public understanding about the process as we just laid out seems pretty extensive. you wouldn't know it if you are an ordinary american paying attention to the news, gee i wonder if these syrian refugees who arrived in europe today are going to be in the un

i think about the risks that lyndon johnson took when he became president after kennedy died he made priority to have that civilized bill that would end segregation in the south pass. if he had failed in that, his whole presidency would have fail, he would have never been elected in november. even succeeding he knew he was going to undo the south for a generation for the republican party. he took that risk then once that ambition was fulfilled, he wanted to go for voting rights, affirmative action. when you feel that as a president, if you're really able to cruise that power to do something important then you become a different person. >> dickerson: let's talk about risk taking for a moment. seems like that we're talking about leadership. we hear the word a lot but bent out of shape. john, what would you say in george herbert walker bush's career, jeb said going back on no new taxes pledge was great symbol of modern presidential leadership. i don't know if you would pick that. what moment would you pick that was risk-taking moment where he really stepped up? >> well, in 1968 as membe

bureaucratic style of national security council through the more freewheeling kennedy style through lyndon johnsonkissinger is not alone in thinking that something is badly broken. they are trying to combine the best aspects of eisenhower with those that have worked well under kennedy. >> you argue in the book that those reviews are a big reason why nixon offers him the job. during the 1968 campaign they pass critical information and nixon in turn goes and tells them that they can get a better deal and you rebut that and say a series of explanations for why that's not true which seems like a critical part of exploring henry kissinger. >> it goes like this, the devious kissinger rats on the johnston administration by leaking a secret and johnston's people were about to do a deal with the north vietnamese. as we mentioned, he had the practice of offering his advice to more than one party, more than one candidate for that matter and it's not too surprising when they approach him like they did. he gives them the usual, while i can tell you this, the response that he had previously given kennedy when k

the great society of lyndon johnson, where we're going to eliminate poverty. $19 trillion later, we havemes more people on food stamps, more poverty, welfare, crime, incarceration, wedlock births can ever know was supposed to be better is not only words, it is much worse. i do not want to demonize the government, but they deserve it. [laughter] but the fact of the matter is, they do not do a good job. the people who do a good job are us. i have spoken a lot of different programs, including the save our youth program here in denver. individuals become mentors for students who are heading in the the students who are heading in the wrong direction. bring them into their own world, teach them things that they would never have known. almost all of those kids graduate from high school, many go on to college and do very useful things, where the trajectory was just the opposite direction. this is what happens when people invest in people. and that is one of the ways that we got to the pinnacle so quickly because we cared about each other. this is a vital part of who we are. we have to stop allow

my gosh, the first political rally i ever went to was in 1964 for lyndon johnson. as i remember, its buildout of -- it spilled out onto madison square garden. he was talking about the issues and riling the crowd. it was exciting. it is astonishing to me that nobody who runs for president has to come here. we should make new york, we should surprise people now and then and start to show a little more republican support. just have an election and vote republican. then, they will start to think new york is in play and they will come here and treat us with respect and have a rally. we could all plan this. this is something we could compromise.

the exhibit takes its subtitle from the speech that president lyndon johnson read before the nation

we create the apparatus lyndon johnson that every president afterwards create and have announced to this apparatus. we had to the world crime to the war on drugs. war on drugs is accompanied by efforts on the part of certain political interests to take votes from people who are incarcerated. labor. re-access slave war weke after the civil criminalized african-americans faces, we overwhelmingly lockout black communities. we take away the right to vote and we put people back to work. we do so in the criminal justice system through the criminal justice apparatus. eventually there many things going on because essentially communities do suffer from a world drugs eventually violence increases of people start at its origin is is very much a political and policy choice. it was a choice that was bipartisan. it was only chosen every moment in our history. this is important because his historians we can see that the policy choice for a much shape the entire latter half. beginnings of the 21st. because generous crises in cities across the country in poor rural areas across the country. undermine the

is the senior bush's reflexive deference to the holder of the office of the presidency, from lyndon johnson to ford to reagan, the duty of the citizen was to do what away right for that citizen to do. intersecting with george w. bu bush's asking for advice, as diplomatly adiplomatically as i. screw cbs news, whatever it would be. >> he called his son out for the rhetoric he used, axis of evil, he talked about evil when he was president right? >> that's right. there was a george bush who was willing to risk ime-impeachment for war against saddam, and there was george herbert walker bush. the passions of the reactions against george w. bush had his two terms after the glow of 9/11, the glow of 9/11 faded, the ferocity was such, people looked back at 41 and turned him into this medernickiaiaia politician. he too had a unilateral streak. >> he did produce two sons who were incredible leaders where you agree with them or not in this country. one a president of the united states, another a governor. how do you -- he must have said these things about george w. bush and the war and the advisorrers

by the time we got to lyndon johnson and the war on poverty, it was, hey, we are the savior, we're going to take care of you guys. we are going to solve all these problems. well here we are all these years later, $19 trillion later, did we solve the problem? we have 10 times more people on food stamps, more people in poverty, welfare, broken homes, out of wedlock births, crime, incarceration, everything that was supposed to be better is not only worse, it's much worse. so i'm not going to sit here and demonize the government for doing that, but i'm saying, isn't it time to wake up and start thinking about another way to do things, rather than driving ourselves into debt without solving the problem? and that is a tremendous responsibility of the government as well, to remain solvent, because you are the guardian of the people's future. i mean, how can we enjoy the liberties and have our posterity, enjoy the liberties if they are overloaded with debt? $18.5 trillion, the national debt. think about that. to pay that back at $10 million a day, it would take you over 5000 years. that's absurd
