he told bill moyers he feared the change you talked about was coming. you have also written about he felt he had to get civil rights to establish his credibility so he could do the things that were so important to him, to push opportunity even further. i wonder if you could talk about -- did dr. king give him credit for that? they were obviously on the same page. they were divided later by vietnam and by hoover. did dr. king give him credit? >> i think andy can answer that better than i can. relevant is the wrong word but he certainly was involved. when you look at everything from headstart to higher education, the food stamp program medicare, medicaid. i think it is important to know, race was an issue in those programs. we couldn't get the elementary education act through. there were two problems. the catholics wanted help for parochial schools and the evangelicals and the secular urban jews didn't want any help for parochial schools. both had the power to block it. what johnson saw as the killer problem, congress was beginning to look at this as a bl

commissioner ho we've served together thank you very much and a a very special thank you to director moyer you're fine staff and the citizens of san francisco you keep us honest and on target you continue to raise the bar some of the things i'd like to say this next year i want to see clearly the southern waterfront is of importance and maritime i think the maritime in this port we need to take it to another level i appreciate all the work that peter and others on the staff we need to continue it provides jobs i want to see piers 30-32 something that is the right fit i think we'll find it and another thing the port provide nor jobs that's of importance and i'm glad we have a commission of 5 commissioners each with different background we work approximately well and are opinionated and put the interests of the san franciscans first but i'd like to see you know, i read on the waterfront i see a lot of homelessness people on the waterfront it's not talked about i don't know what we can do about that i can a lot of times people think they have a different opinion about the homelessness but wor

bill moyers, johnson's long time aide said that the president was 13 of the most complex and interesting and difficult men he had ever met. [laughter] stan 11 son dr. king's close aide said he was anything but the plaster saint that white america so wanted him to be. so i thought that we might begin our discussion today not at the beginning of the civil rights bill, but at the end on july fourth 1964, because i think this exchange offers a little bit of a window into the complexity of their personalities and their relationship. it was the fourth of july, president johnson had come home to texas after signing the bill two days before and he seized on a quote from his press secretary that he had been in continual touch with dr. king. why do you say that, johnson said? that's the last thing the president has been in continual touch with dr. king. ready said he said i've seen from time to time dr. king why do you say that, johnson demanded. well, he said, you saw him at the ceremony. i say, why do you say it? because i was asked, because they had seen you there. i'm sorry he was there johnso

monique moyer is still here back from the port. but without the help and the support of their staff, as well as their expertise would make being a member of the board extremely difficult and i want to take a moment to recognize staff persons that i have grown to admire and respect. there are department heads i work overtime with and i want to acknowledge director of dpw and this is the man that can clean up anything. if you don't know him you must know him. he is just incredible. i don't say that to leave the rest of you behind but when you need your garbage picked up what can i say. i want to recognize the close relationship i have in working with mta as we continue to grow on the southeastern sector of san francisco. transportation is absolutely critical. i also need to give thanks to the men and women in labor. you heard a few of the voices from police and fire but we also need to uplift the teachers. i'm a product of public schools and if it were not for the teachers we would have a truly lost generation. with that said i want

i don't know of any evidence that madison read burke on france, where burke is moyer conservative, much more -- is much more forceful in articulating his concernses about frankly jefferson's approach to liberalism and democracy. madison himself changes, i think it's fair to say, or at least emphasizes different things at different times in his career. the period when he is hamilton's partner is very different from the period where he is jefferson's partner, and the fact that it's the same person is at the very least mysterious. he doesn't completely contradict but madison is in different places on the question. >> host: you mentioned france. tell us about what paine's support of the revolution was based on, what burke's strong concern was based on and in this matter was burke actually correct? >> guest: well so, the french revolution is much more radical than the american revolution. there were people both in france and in america who wanted to link the two to see them as expressions of the same principle. certainly paine himself wanted to do that and understood it that way. but the fre

the moyer hear from the administration and its quotes, the more it sounds like talking points that cometraight out of the tehran. it feeds to the tehran theirive. bill: the president says he will veto any bill that imposes more sanctions on iran while negotiations are ongoing. menendez is on the republican side of this issue. he says the iranians have been trying to cheat for 20 years. >> i think he's on the american national security issue side of this. time and time again we have seen from this white house. every time the iranians fail to live up to their obligations the white house guys them more benefits and extends the deadline. you have a situation where the iranian nuclear promise not halted as the president claimed in the state of the union speech. they continue to make progress according to the atomic nuclear energy. the white house is kicking the can down the road. they want a deal, even if it's a bad deal. i sliewlt senator menendez and the other democrats who signed on to this. bill: i want you to react to what mike huckabee said with megyn on this. >> the way you stop the s

moyers can still fire anyone who tests positive for pot. not all workers are getting that message. positive marijuana tests in colorado are up by double digits. >> with us now for more on tonight's premiere of marijuana country is harry smith. items great to see you. and we look forward to seeing this tonight. and this workplace issue, front and center. this construction company obviously keeping the safety of its workplace in mind. what about some of the other workplaces you talked for? >> it's an interesting thing because years ago, state legislature in colorado passed a law that basically said anything that is legal in the state that you do in the privacy of your home has no -- should have no effect on your ability to keep our hold on to a job. so you have laws that are in contradiction in colorado right now and that very issue is in front of the state supreme court. >> harry, your interview with the construction guy i thought was very important. all these studies have come out just since pot legalization passed from the medical professi

martin moyer joins us now. what was taking place right there? where were you?nds are located in. all areas heavily wooded inside of the mountainous areas. and what we wanted to do was challenge their open invitation to actually come on to these compounds and see whether they were peaceful or not. so we brought our cameras and tried to get on and this is how we got treated. >> quickly, this is the whole thing that we're seeing here. what goes on in these campuses? a lot of people say there are jewish camps in this country jewish camps. why not a muslim camp? >> because these are truly no go zones. unlike the ones in europe, which i visited, you can walk into those no go zones. you can walk in with your cameras. you can talk to people. but in these particular no go zones, you can not get into. they have gates. they have armed guards. they have security forces. and when you go up into them you're specifically told to leave these particular areas. and they're particularly dangerous. >> we're watching now, where are we seeing this footage from? >> this is a video th
