[applause] >> first, thank you. the supervisors -- the call in the town hall meeting. i am daniel landry. i was born and raised in the western addition. what i hear is about economics, i am a small-business owner and was impacted by the redevelopment era. my question, and my thought is that, can we find a way to make certain that those who have been impacted by the redevelopment agency have opportunities, economically, and for housing? the beat goes on. it may seem like the sunset of the redevelopment agency may be happy for some state officials, but some of us have been left behind.

when this is include bryan miller -- witnesses include bryan miller and mark said johnson. the national action network's convention held a forum friday focusing on the coverage of race issues. the participants included print, radio, tv journalists. this is one hour and 20 minutes. >> good morning. welcome to the national convention. we are very honored the you have joined us today for our annual media panel. we have quite some heavy hitters. this convention has been stellar. we kicked off our convention on wednesday. we have been joined so far by kathleen sebelius as well as hilda solis. we have been joined by the education secretary arne duncan. we were joined on wednesday by the family of trayvon martin as the news was broken. >> good morning. thank you. i would ask that as they come, they come in quietly. many of you around the country, we thank you for your meetings. we wanted to start on time. we're very happy that all of us have the time from the schedule. let me introduce the panel as they are seated. of what is to be clear. i am a firm moderator. i am not going to l

johnson. so it narrates a friendship. but, mark, but i think i like about it, and why it drew you to the same subject. julia's father said something interesting once. i just happened to be there. there was a president unnamed trying to gather another forum of former presidents. he really didn't like this. you know, we all represent something different. i don't think how often we ought to get together. but we all represent something different. taking that comment and extending it slightly. presidents never cease being presidents. they fulfilled a role. lyndon johnson represents a kind of story, of a rising texas. and the dilemma of the south and west in civil rights. he's a great hero. this is a story which is unique from richard nixon, who is the middle class after world war ii. finding its place in the sun. and dwight eisenhower, the man from central kansas who makes a historic not in central kansas, but in london and in paris. every president represents something different. and each president as they leave office in some sense, c

that was where most of the press and pundits said was a rational good start. >> hey, mark, bob johnsonstion i have to ask you. i'm continually investing in businesses, trying to create businesses and start up jobs particularly in the minority community. every business will tell you that lack of certainty is jobs killer for business in terms of investment and growth. we've got this question of the bush tax cuts expiring at the end of the year. along with what you and kent conrad are doing, why wouldn't the congress indicate that you're going to extend the bush tax cuts for a period of time, maybe six months, to go seriously at coming up with real tax reform that will bring about a level of progressiveness, increase the revenue but at the same time stimulate and spur economic growth? >> because, bob, i don't think one more short-term extension at three or six months buys you any kind of certainty. we have to recognize the fact we've got to have more revenues. republicans got to acknowledge that. democrats got to acknowledge our current entitlement programs the way they're structured. the

i think it marks time until ron johnson who, yes, created the genius bar and did a lot of great stuffh its stores. i think it takes some time. i think we'll revisit that stock in two quarters before we need to pull the trigger. let's go to james in texas. james. >> caller: boo-yah, cramer. >> boo-yah back. >> caller: been watching you in bulgaria is where i started watching you when mark haines would do promos saying you got to listen to this guy on "mad money". >> i miss him. >> caller: my question is for you, aflac. i know you have been down on them in the past, but they've got a lot less european exposure. >> that's exactly why i'm going to tell you it's okay. that quarter yesterday was a good one. i think aflac is coming back, and it's okay to buy. i love to see the ceo on the show. and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the conclusion of the lightning round.

either intimidate or entice hanoi into negotiating a settlement was often marked by ineptitude and outride bungling. the way johnson and mcnamara went to war was then notably idiosyncratic, suggesting that even in the complex world of the 20th century, late 20th century, i suppose this is reassuring. the role of the individual still counts. two different leaders might well have handled the situation quite differently. raises the question of how we explain the repetition 40 years later of this same experience by simply the fact of another texan in the white house, and another slick secretary of defense. is there something more in our national character that leads us to behave in this way. johnson and mcnamara also launched a war without providing a way to pay for it. to be fair, of course, this, again, is more lbj's doing than mcnamara's. again, primarily to protect his domestic programs. as drea points out, the economic advisers naively believed that they could manipulate the business cycle in ways that would pay for the war without having to raise taxes. here, of course, the secretary of defense's job was to imple

johnson. serving as interviewer and moderator for our program tonight is the director of the lbj library and museum, my good friend mark upt grove. mark needs no introduction to this audience. but i do want to say something about his work that is particularly relevant to this program. mark, who is one of the leading presidential historians in this country is the author of the book "second acts: presidential lives and legacies after the white house" which, as the title implies, examines the post presidential experiences of all the presidents who served after franklin roosevelt, concluding with bill clinton. one of my favorite chapters in that book is the one that mark wrote about the years that dwight eisenhower spent after the white house. so mark will be interviewing our special guests, david and julie eisenhower. david eisenhower is the grandson of president dwight eisenhower. his father, john eisenhower, is a prominent military historian. david is the author of "the new york times'" best sell ter, eisenhower at war which was a finalist for the pulitzer prize in 1986. he currently serves as the director of the instit

mark updegrove who is going to be the moderator. he's the director of the lyndon baines johnson presidential library and museum, and he himself is a journalist and an acclaimed author, and i hope he asks these guys the toughest questions, so without any further adieu, please welcome mr. mark updegrove, miss susan sterner, miss carol powers and mr. david hume kennerly. >> well, thank you. it's a great honor to be here. the great ancel adams photographer once said a photograph is usually looked at but rarely looked into. today we have the opportunity to look into the photographs of three great photographers and what they say about three extraordinary first ladies, two of whom are in the first row. betty ford, barbara bush and laura bush, and i have the easiest job of anybody today because i get to run this panel like tom sawyer painted his fence. i get my friends to do it, and they are going to share some of their work with you and talk about the extraordinary images that they have taken, and the first one up at this podium will be david kennerly, and i'll tell you a quick story a

mara's budget expertise was supposed to be the hall mark of his management of the pentagon and as this big illustrates, paying for what one top johnson administration once said with no apparent sense of the paradox what called vietnam an all out limited war. without mobilization and tax increases required all sorts of financial ledgers that eventually got mc that mara in trouble with congress. there chapters are many other important topics. the dominican republic on 1965. the issue of arms control agreements and nuclear proliferation treaty and assumed these were nixon things and in fact they were, but they began during the johnson administration. nato experienced huge challenges during the year as a result of the departure from the alliance, the concerns imposed by vietnam and growing economic woes in the united states. these problems are very well covered in chapters dealing with nato. the chapter on the mideast focuses on the six-day war and properly notes how this conflict changed greatly for the worst the nature and commitments in that troubled region. the discussion of israeling inment in the united states and executing the str

johnson john fortenberry charles stanley. mike simpson frank wolf so the question is mark was losing his political mojo i don't think he ever had the mojo that a lot of the to boil had where's you know it's not going to be walker bush i think that republicans do not need to sign a piece of paper i should say conservatives do not need to sign a piece of paper to be told that cutting taxes that is a good thing or should be told that government needs enough revenue to satisfy its basic functions and services and you know there is a happy medium there would be a cheap so it's an ok thing a very good raise taxes a lot of times but i think what lap and said is right voters care about what their members of congress do not about pieces of paper that they signed george herbert walker last because he said he wasn't going to raise taxes and then he did and it was because grover norquist who most people outside the beltway have no idea who he is told them to vote against him it's because people know when someone tells you one thing it's what is the american people are smart enough to say you know what that's not somebody that i want to vot
