just to put mcpherson and a difficult situation. what is interesting about mcpherson as he refused to let it get to him. brian: this is about congresswoman edith green. lbj instructed califano to have him take her out, give for a couple of bloody mary's, and spend the afternoon in bed with her. then she will support any g.d. bill he wants. if you wants to help his president, that is what he will do instead of writing memos every night. joshua: that is pure johnson. he is telling califano, tell the guy and your staff that is what he will do if he wants to be helpful. that particular story came directly from califano, who remembered it. this is oral history that was done years earlier which suggests to me was probably reliable. even if the dialogue, you have to take it directionally. nobody can remember that conversation verbatim two or three years later. but, this is pure lyndon johnson. you'll find stories like that this pervades volumes about johnson when he was younger guy. this is simply the way he operated. he liked to assert hi

joshua: i found harry mcpherson to be the most intriguing one.e was a young lawyer, also a texan. -- he a young lawyer who wrote a letter to lbj when lbj was a senator. that spun into his coming to washington to work on senate policy committee staff when johnson was majority leader. he actually got out from under johnson's some, because johnson anda hard guy to work for, he had positions at the department of state. johnson brought him into the white house in 1965 as chief counsel. he ended up serving a whole number of functions. most of johnson's guys were utility players. whoas one of the few people was not particularly afraid of lbj. he enjoyed his work and was committed to it, but it would have been no tragedy if he had to leave. he was not a person to maneuver for power and position. he had a certain native intelligence and it comes a meter. looked tof the staff him as an honest broker. >> we will come back to the photo. here you write about this in your book, this was a contentious person. arthur's lazing are, a historian for john f. kennedy

mcpherson did not allow him to get flustered. he had a stories and posttest -- tempestuous relationship. >> i refer to them as planets around the sun but in some ways that creates a sense of an order that didn't exist. this was a staff in which people didn't have clearly defined roles, they shifted their roles, not unlike fdr where he would favor somebody for a while and move away and favors somebody else, he didn't want anyone to get a sense of being most important among his aides. why, was johnson purposefully juggling people or did he simply feel he would get the best feedback on people by giving them broad briefs and letting them compete for his attention? was there a method to this? >> there wasn't the same defined set of rules in the white house then as there would be in later years was a modern white house staff came into existence in 1939 when executive department were reorganized but generally speaking most presidents kept around the number of utility players, sometimes a chief of staff, sometimes not, oftentimes the pre

. >> so the decision is when mcpherson was writing to johnson talking about the likely candidate for president mccarthy, kennedy rockefeller and george wallace and of them those that carry the most political valid baggage cycle would culminate a change election and johnson as a representative of the status quo was the most conservative and i read this and i think about 2016 very strong echoes with the changed election to see that candidate as a status quo there isn't much you can do in a derisive bunch of books on bobby kennedy with the 68 race one thing that we overlook if johnson stayed in the race most certainly he would have been renominated at that point in the time primaries didn't elect there was no way mccarthy or kennedy could have displaced him so it would be a next and johnson. >> did you think of the alternative history if vietnam had not happened how much greater was a great society have been quick or is it impossible to imagine? >> we were never supposed to do this in grad school but why not?

select quite able lieutenants and -- lieutenants in people like sherman, william sherman, sheridan, mcpherson, and many others. there is a question as to how well he did on this point during his administration. grant himself, if you look at his last message to congress, he admitted he had made some mistakes in some his appointments. some men had betrayed his trust. he knew that. we should not let those mistakes overshadow some very important and capable men, important appointments he made up very capable men in some of his key cabinet positions. let me point out a few of them. on the left, hamilton fish, secretary of state. the only cabinet member who was with grant all eight years. he did a terrific job. he is recognized as one of the best secretaries of state in our history. he would not win a beauty contest but a great secretary of state. another great thing is he kept a diary. it is a wonderful resource for finding out what was happening during the administration. he recorded what happened at cabinet meetings, conversations he had with the president and other leaders in the government, an

it was fort mcpherson army base. it closed in 2011 and now it's the home of the studio.s but they shot some "black panther" there and "walking dead." that's fantastic. do you -- just -- as soon as you saw there was an army base for sale, did you know, like, oh, that's what we can do movies there? >> no, i had my -- the last studio i had was much smaller and it was proprietary, so i only -- i did all my stuff there. and i thought, you know, why don't i do something bigger and so i can lease space to other people and being a filmmaker and a creator, i wanted to create a space where they can come and be happy and evolve into whatever they want to do. and that's what we've created. so it's been pretty fun. >> seth: that's great you have a place for people to collaborate. another person you're collaborating with is tiffany hadish. >> yes. yes. >> seth: now, i would assume when tyler perry calls you, you answer the phone and if you get a message, you call back right away. that did not happen with tiffany hadish. >> that did not happen, and we have worked together. she and i pu

talking about harry mcpherson. was that true? >> let's stipulate that harry mcfearson was doing no such thing. johnson told mcfearson this particular reporter woman who had been writing critically of the administration and say, i want you to take her out and to what you described. rolled his eyes and ignored it, hoping johnson would drop it. what's interesting about mcfearson , he refused to let it phase him. >> one more from this page, this is about congresswoman edith green. l.b.j. instructed calfano to have him quote take her out, give her a couple of bloody mary's and spend the afternoon in bed with her and she'll support any g-d bill he wants. if he wants to help the president that's what he should do instead of writing those whiny memos every night. he was talking about one of calfano's young office assistants. he's telling him, tell the guy on your staff this is what you can do. >> where does this come from? books or oral histories? >> oral histories, that came directly from califano. i saw it in the memoirs and also in an
