reedy despised moyers. although i used some of his remembrances to talk about moyers, you have to put a big ast risk nest to all of them. johnson once said of reedy he's a knowledgeable guy. i'm sort of making this up a bit if you ask him about the histrir of the weather for 10 minutes that'll tell you what the weather is. seemed like he was insufferable to work with. i think other colleagues found him so as well. >> we haven't used any of this in this program but did you listen to oval office conversations? >> i read the transcripts, they're difficult unless you know who is speaking. if i found a fun one i'd listen to it. most of them have been troon scribed. they're incredibly useful. they give you quite a look, in fact, exactly the transcript of what's being said at all times. lyndon johnson you have to be carefulful. he was a political actor and understood that different contexts and different conversations have to say ifferent things. there was no need to provide anything but unvan niched truth. >> he

>> busby and bill moyers and richard goodwin to some extent, mcpherson, to accommodate the moyers' faction and be nominally part of it. on the other side there were people like busby, to some extent, jack fuentes, watson, they didn't share the same politics, watson was much more conservative than they were, but there was a great tension between the two factors and in particular between busby and bill moyers. here's some video by bill moyers talking in 1990. >> as i look back in those years and the time i spent briefly with him in 1954 and 1960, in every respect except one, he always had a better eye for the horizon than anyone else around except on vietnam. and that's a gap, a blank, an enigma that i haven't figured out yet. >> you suggested in the book he wouldn't talk to you. he hasn't written much about those years. >> no. he has occasionally, it's been a long time, he did sit for some interviews when there was a two volume biography a few years ago. there were transcripts that he spoke at, i wouldn't say he refused to speak with me, i didn't ask to speak with them. i just reached out t

joshua: most people know who bill moyers is. moyers was a young minister, grew up in texas, a lot of the guys who worked for johnson were from texas. from very modest upbringings. he ended up, he did not take a pulpit. he was a brilliant student and was a very sincere and ernest theologian. he ended up working for johnson and johnson's media business, a television station that lady bird on. he worked his way up as an intern. jack was just a friend. he was the youngest advertising and pr guy from texas who johnson knew. he ended up marrying one of johnson's secretaries. was a real character. he was advancing a leg of the and lbj andn 1963 invited him him from houston to dow list. he ended up being 10 cars back in the motorcade monday president was assassinated. johnson put him on air force one immediately. if you look at the iconic photos of the swearing-in, you will see him in the back of the airliner. he and did up staying in becoming a very close eight. brian: who of all the people you wrote about entry due the most. >> mcpher

moyers was in bobby kennedy's camp.onversation reflects a desire on the part of to cast moyers as the good angel and the white house who ultimately had to leave because he was cast aside. that vastly overplays it. the book is not about vietnam. the idea that he left in protest because of vietnam was manufactured by a lot of the kennedy partisans. brian: your personal view on this. you have spent a lot of time with these people. you think you would not like working with -- who do you think you would not like working with? joshua: there is a guy we have not talked about, george reidy. brian: hold it right there. i have some video of george reidy. this was done in 1996. he is no longer with us. >> when it comes to , johnson was positively chaotic. he never really quite knew who was running things. quite often, you had to step in because nobody else was going to step in and somebody had to do something. joshua: he had been a longtime aide in the senate. presidential staff, he was press secretary for a while before he got mo

and it is quite extraordinary as mentioned in the introduction we can talk a few of them like bill moyer and those were well known to us at hunter but tell a about his age. >> from the vantage point jack valenti november 1963 in advertising pr gay mom -- pr guy and from the young businessman became friendly with the senate secretary and he was tasked as a volunteer with the leg of the trip that president kennedy was taking in houston and johnson said get on air force two and fly to dallas and come with me afterwards so he did. he was ten cars back in the motorcade through a whirlwind of circumstances that he wanted on air force one but he wasn't sure why but on the four left corner you can see a very confused looking valenti had no idea why he was there. he went on staff having no experience that johnson really respected his opinion became the appointment secretary and a great gatekeeper not on who got to see him but the information that he would look through the memorandum of staff and would decide what should go before the president and he wears a champion of the oddball idea with thos

reporters were calling the moyers gap. it was no longer credible when the administration was talking the more appropriations. purposely under shooting. and in then having to come back for some mental appropriations. it became clear that they were not leveling. it undermines the credibility there. and then that they have thing as that it have economic effects that undermined the whole argument. he could not ask them for a tax on the increase. if he did he was afraid that conservatives and moderates would basically demand that he he didn't want to do that. he paid for it by borrowing. it would be modest by latest comparison. he probably wished you had 1967 inflation. but remember for 20 years they've been they been told we figured out how to do this. it continue to grow the economy. as it became an increasing problem and look like he no longer knew how to pull the levels of the economy. it was part of the implicit deal. this is after 1966 just to go back to where we started with this. the key people left the white house. man

individual names of cases because all these individuals have as you know deep pockets and very powerful moyers and i think i'm sure that almost anything i said about anybody would be taken to be prejudicial any case but i will i will try to put that in another way so you referred to some russian businessman as related to point and so they might be punished what criteria will be applied in determining that one businessman is related to putin and the mother is not well again i think you are inviting me very very rightly or inviting me to go further in into the detail of such cases that i think it would be wise for me to do because all such legal actions are open to challenge under our system and it's very important that there should be no there should be no sign of political bias or interference and there won't be. seeking three. fictional mountainbike. seeking song for. something better and be abandoned villages of its own. seeking style that's the thing that becomes a hot infection of the century. your love is next on the v.w. . for sarah willis plant corn is a passion. a profession joined her

goods because you are slapping tariffs on them, people who don't have a lot of money end up paying moyer and suffering for it. of course, the biggest casualty of the tariff battle, gary cohn. the former president of goldman sachs resigned reportedly over a disagreement with the president overall tariffs. insiders say cohn was integral to much of the president's economic success on everything from tax cuts to deregulation. with cohn gone, will the white house stay on right track? it would be too easy to hire another yes man on tariffs. gary cohn was right on taxes and deregulation. he was right on tariffs. somewhat we are seeing is the nationalist inside the white house gaining sway and the globalists outside the door. kennedy: rob porter was one of the globalists. >> that's right. the question is who does the president bring in to replace the globalists. these are efforts on behalf of the president who followed through on almost all of his trade promises. kennedy: where do we go with cohn out there will be has been a decimation of the globalist wing. >> it's also the economically literal

brian: what is the thing you learned as a white house fellow working around, you said bill moyers.ho else? tom: john gardner. brian: what did you learn from being around them? about the presidency that has never changed? tom: if you get to work close at hand with members of congress or the president, you learn about complexity. that very rarely can you have sweeping change. most change is incremental. most change is getting part of something done, and compromise, which is a dirty word to many people, is critically important. you need to get people together with different points of view and try to work something out. now in this country, we are facing the issue of gun registration and background checks and regulation. we believe in a strong second amendment but we also believe in safe schools. people have to come together and work on these things. brian: you have a quote you use in the book by alan drury. advising -- advise and consent. talking about people that come to washington, they stay 50 years, they may love, marry, settle down, build homes, raise families and die beside the

in terms of why to moyer does it, if education levels were employer, employers could not afford to be so snobby, which is big point i make. in the past in 1940 if a says we only hire wait are with a college degree you won't have any waiters or paying massive amount for someone. now it's totally feasible for a restaurant to be that picky because there's so many make can'ts with those credential. >> host: but i've done -- spent the past year looking at the path from college to work and talking to companies about what they want out of students. and you'll talk to, say, prominent rental car company, the head of hr for the rental car company and that person will say, we absolutely need people with bachelors degrees. so,. >> guest: to rent cars. >> so sell cars or move numb manage: so the question is have here is what is driving the signaling in clearly the businesses are asking for this. but sort of what is drying this up? is it us taking out the boxes and wanting to stand on them at the theater or is it the businesses saying, what you have is inadequate. we need something to fill their he
