mrs. johnson.> but if he was unhappy and her role was really to keep him -- keep the domestic life going, how did she help him do that? >> she tried. she was always trying to get him to go to the gym because he put on a lot of weight and she tried to get him to watch his diet and invited a lot of people he would like to see. but they were really not good years. i think everybody will agree he did not do well. the vice president, that job is a little difficult for strong people. >> but she started the women doers lunches and she had them in places like senegal. and, you know, again, people think that this is something new and something just recent first ladies have been interested in women and women's issues and promoting the role of women around the world. mrs. johnson was doing that back when she was second lady. >> and this 1960 campaign, that's the one she really came into her own and campaigned and saw what it was like to be on the national stage. >> i don't think anybody knows what it's like t

it is a typically crass analogy from mr johnson.hnson. i feel very loathe to believe him, ever since he was let go believe him, ever since he was let 9° by believe him, ever since he was let go by the times for allegedly fabricating a quarter more than 30 yea rs fabricating a quarter more than 30 years ago he's made a career out of economic up with the truth. what he's saying seems to be at odds with their announcement a couple of days ago by sir patrick vallance the chief scientific adviser, that we are facing a second wave and could well have another lockdown. suggest there might be as many, this is dreadful, 120,000 more deaths over the winter. i take everything mr johnson said with a lorry load of i'm afraid this isjust johnson said with a lorry load of i'm afraid this is just a johnson said with a lorry load of i'm afraid this isjust a piece johnson said with a lorry load of i'm afraid this is just a piece with everything he said over the past 30 yea rs. haven't the local lockdown is and the principle of not shutting down every

mr. johnson said on march the second. that is, he set this country is very, very well prepared.e got fantastic testing, amazing surveillance of thef spread disease. that sense all along that the government w overpromising, suggesting it was completely in control while evidence suggests it was not quite that way. ros: stay there, rob.pi we wil up that issue of testing is countries around the world were grappling with the pandemic, the world health organization was saying this march 16. >> we have a simple message for all countries. test, test, test. ros: the who says you should test those people whare suspected to have it and who they came into contact with. while th u.k. took a different approach. this was march 26. >> it comes a point in the pandemic where it is note an appropritervention, and that is the point where we moved intoay, and alough we still do some contact tracing and testing, for example, in high-risk areas, like prisons or care homes, that is not an appropriate mechanism go forward. ros: the u.k. has acknowledged it abandon track and trace in the early stages of

mr. johnson's and fend off essure from washington? >> i think it is undoubtedly a bit of both. were quoting tom earlier. he is absolutely spot on. who would disagree? the first part of the problem that the u.k. faced was in the crossfire of a battle between two much bigger powers, the united states and china. no doubt the sond element, by the government had to u-turn, was because ofl domestic lyri pressure inside of i own political party which has been building for some months. it is clear the mood in the u.k., parts of the conservative party, have soured over china in thlast few months. s: in terms of the practicalities, are we clear the u.k. is able to remove all of huawei's equipment from the multitude of areas where it ispr currentlent or plan to be present in the coming years? >> certainly, those conservative mps who are not happy about huawei having any role are skeptical, and they will want to see that. the main telecom company in this country says it willot be it is interesting because in many ways thisht highl the problem that the u.k. faces, both a practical one, whic

mr. johnson centennial was last -- her birthday was december 22nd, 2012. n honor of that we issued a commemorative stamp. mrs. johnston was only the fifth first lady to have a stamp. the others were martha washington, dolly madison, abigail adams, and mrs. lu stout. >> my producer says you have a personal connection with the former first lady. >> yes. i was or executive assistant from 1991 until her death. >> what was it that you would like people to what's people watching to know about mrs. johnston? >> oh my. first of all cokie and better doing a terrific job, thank you. she was very warm. she was unflappable. she had a delicious laugh. it was a hearty, belly laugh. and she was such a good role model for those of us that knew and loved her. when you worked for mrs. johnston, and you became part of the family. so she was my friend and i loved her but she loved me too. so it was a privilege working for her and her family. they have certainly followed in her footsteps and are just terrific. anyway, it has been an honor. >> thanks for your call, and adding yo

drink better, but what kind of life that the be is his view on that, which would be an argument mr johnsonhich would be an argument mrjohnson himself used but it's ironic that the prime minister comes in with his very libertarian attitude, it happened with david cameron, theresa may and our boris johnson. they want to protect the individuals right of liberty to do what they want with their lives, but then they see the public health evidence and for mr johnson, then they see the public health evidence and for mrjohnson, it is a bit about coronavirus he's completely convinced that his way was to do why the virus him so bad if you want on a diet and now he wants the rest of the country to do so as wants the rest of the country to do so as well. it will see how effective it is, but the scientific evidence is clear, you do this, you save the nhs money and you fundamentally save lives stop . advertising in pre—9 p:m., it's a good thing, though to be honest, and it's a go a lot further, why not put it's a go a lot further, why not put it together. but the prime minister has shied away from toughe

johnson. the presiding officer: the -- mr. braun: thank you, senator johnson. the presiding officer: the senator from indiana. mr. braun: just five weeks ago we had businesses starting from main street that was lucky enough to grow over 37 years, three of my kids run it now. that was the reason i ran for senate was to make sure that we had that kind of atmosphere in place for the productive economy, the enter pridessers, the heart -- the enterprisers, the hardworking americans that work at companies on main street. since covid arrived, of course it shocked us all. we know it's a tricky foe. it's got pe kiewl alerties -- pe kiewlular, we have to get back to the economy that was raising wages for those most in need. was doing it in a real way and not through government. yes, government needs toe get involved -- needs to get involved now and then, and this was a case, like the senator from wisconsin stated, we move quickly, we did something. what i see on the other side of the aisle with this monstrosity, $3.5 trillion, is an effort beyond to just address the displ

mr. johnson: i didn't say it was. mr. clyburn: i want to bring it up. because a republican president said that it is. ok. just want you to know, you're going to be checked for everything that you say in here. mr. johnson: so are you. mr. clyburn: i'm going to stick with the science. i'm going to stick with the science. all right. i now yield to mrs. maloney. mrs. maloney: thank you, mr. chairman. thank you to all our witnesses and their work. i would first like to ask the admiral, i want to ask you a straightforward question. do you believe the trump administration provided ad-- adequate guidance to the public sector on how to procure and distribute p.p.e. to the people in our nation who needed it most? admiral? > ma'am, i think you meant me. not adthe admiral. these legal agreements that we signed with the commercial nterprise allowed us to direct where the s to government felt the highest need was. mrs. maloney: i'm sorry but according to an investigation my staff conducted which we're releasing today the administration completely and utterly failed t

mr. johnson in an untenable position as the emissary of the united states. why would asking for this kind of favor for the president's personal business put the ambassador in an untenable position >> well, i think for a couple of reasons. one, it would be sending a signal to the british government that the chief emissary of the u.s. government is willing to engage in venal and possibly illegal behavior on behalf of the president. and secondly, for the simple reason that having compromised himself this way, the risk he takes is if there's a difficult situation, a tough meeting he has to have, a demand he needs to make in the future, his hosts can say to him, well, you know, gee, mr. ambassador, remember when you made that suggestion about the golf course a few months ago so it's just something that as norm eisen, who is an expert on government ethics and also served as an ambassador under president barack obama, said in our article, it's really diplomatic malpractice, and it just puts any diplomat and particularly an ambassador into an almost impossible posit

mr. johnson, you are now recognized. mr. johnson. >> thank you, madame chairwoman. and ranking member, u.s. representative, jim jordan. i bring you greetings on behalf of the team, impacted family members, the community members of the national families united for justice network. my name is see fus johnson, also known as uncle bobby. i am the cofounder of -- founder of california families for justice network and oscar grant foundation, my sister, oscar's mother. i have been advocating since the murder of my nephew, oscar grant, january 1st, 2009, early new year's morning. policing tactics, inactions that led to the death of mr. george floyd. we are extremely hurt and grieve with the nation at the horrendous killing of breonna taylor arbury and now, brooks. we offer our deepest condolences and prayers for these families. there is no horror comparable to watching your loved one be murdered. that horror is forever etched in your memory. perhaps because it could have been prevented. the power of the police to put deadly force with the most significant use possible we gi

mr. johnson, you are now recognized. mr. johnson. >> thank you. members of the house committee global site reform, offering on behalf of our team, community members. in the cofounder of families united. i've been advocating for police totality for years. january 1, 2009. providing the discussion of racism. hundred say the nation is condemning the actions and inactions that led to the death of george floyd. a horrendous killing of breonna taylor, ahmaud arbery and now rayshard brooks. also condolences to the families. there is nothing in terms of watching murders, it's forever etched in the news. they could have been prevented. the most significant responsibility is for any public responsibility's, protecting human rights. we saw far more. these are many families devastated. these tragedies disproportionally take them. people from every walk of life are protesting for justice for fair policing. it's important that officers listen to this. the accountability of transparent and building trust. they are fully aware addressing issues and local agencies

mr. johnson forced out mr. lukens, a career diplomat, shortly before his term was to end. and i know what you're thinking, right? president trump using his power as president, using the u.s. government to pressure a foreign government to do him a favor using the office of the presidency to benefit himself. career civil servants forced from their posts after raising alarmi alarms about what was happening. we have seen this version of the movie before, right, we have the last time it ended with him being impeached. the new report in "the new york times" does differ from the ukraine dedebacle in one key way. when president trump was pressuring the ukrainian government, using the powers of the u.s. government to pressure the ukrainian government to give him dirt on joe biden that he could use in the election, he was pushing that foreign government for a political favor. what he appears to have been trying to get from the british government here was money. was a business favor for his business was a basically a personal financial favor that would put money in his own pocket. he

mr. johnson, mr. cummings, and mr. meek led the effort to create the military leadership diversity commission whose recommendations in 2011 are the basis for many of the diversity and inclusion provisions found in this year's ndaa which are some of the most significant steps towards diversity and inclusion that congress itself has taken since the desegregation of the armed forces in 1948. it seeks to foster opportunities for women and minorities. we bring new visibility to congressional nominations to our service academies to train a more diverse next generation of leaders. we brought in a trained investigator to investigate racial disparities in the military system. a special prosecutor for sex assault committed at our military academies. we tap into the talent at our historically black colleges and universities and another minority serving institutions, and we hold the secretary of defense and service component leader accountable for progress and give them the tools to make it happen. this package updates workplace a

i don't trust anything mr johnson says about this crisis. what happened. and another paper said he has his eye on judicial review that he thinks judges have been very naughty by not doing what he wanted. i think we need an independent inquiry which we can trust so there were good things and what he said but not very other good things. caroline. iwould and what he said but not very other good things. caroline. i would agree with pretty much everything yasmin said there, he had a more conciliatory tone, we have seen time and time again our missteps to a certain extent talking about world —class certain extent talking about world—class track and trace suggesting that we have done very well in our ability to combat the virus when actually we have seen one of the highest death rates certainly if the continent if not the world. soi if the continent if not the world. so i think this admission that we have not gotten things right and that there are questions that need to be answered about that in particular, they talk to him about the timing of the

mr. johnson. i've got a question for you. the h.e.r.o.e.s. act, they pass local aid for big cities and small towns. but for some reason, there's a delgado out of new york amendment where small towns have been getting 327 per resident for their fiscal budgets. but for some reason, big cities will be getting $1,200 per resident like boston, massachusetts, and springfield, massachusetts, get $1,200 per resident. but west side and many other small towns are getting $327 per resident. how come no one debated that when it was passed? >> well, it was debated, and some of us expressed concern about that. ultimately, the rules that came out of the treasury department was that if you are a county of 500,000 or more people, then you get that money directly from the federal government. otherwise, it's up to the states. your governor in massachusetts has some flexibility in how that money is rolled out to local governments and local communities. that is not a federal decision. in the state of ohio, governor mike dewine has that decision. and that's what i

mr. johnson to stop violating the rules of the committee, stop violating the safety of the members of theommittee and to stop holding each other out as not caring by refusing to wear their masks. >> tucker: different clip but equally nuts, what do you think of that? >> this is typical democrat, do as i say and not as i do." he was denying that anything was even going on in portland as i relate to the violence that was decimating democrat-controlled cities. again, 19 of the top 20 cities in the country are democrat run and democrat mayors who appoint democrats across the board. in many cases these cities have been run by democrats for over 100 years but magically, it's donald trump's fault. it was donald trump's fault when he sent federal officers to help and assist the portland pd which by the way were under attack every night for five weeks prior to the those officers being there. but again it's magically donald trump's fault. but that's the problem. the news that is getting disseminated to the average guy, you and me, we perhaps do this stuff all week long but if you are a hardworking m

mrs. johnson's beautification projects, a first lady was expected to have a project. >> exactly.us first lady if she did not have a cause or a project. >> nineteen years after she left the white house, mamie eisenhower sat down with barbara walters to give her views on the role of the first lady. let's watch. >> do you think presidents today need their wives' help? >> i don't know, but i don't know if they want it. maybe they don't want it. [ laughter ] i don't think that you can -- i think you have to -- your husband -- a man has to be encouraged. i think i told ike every day that we lived how much i thought he was, how good i thought he was. was. you know, your ego has to be fed. >> a little bit on the role of the first lady. gary robinson wants to know what would mamie say is her greatest contribution to the role of first lady? >> i would think that she would say that it was giving ike a comfortable home life where he could relax and get away from the pressing issues of the day. i think her greatest contribution was in institutionalizing the first lady as the campaigner. i thi

mrs. johnson said, "you really shouldn't have that. it belongs in the white house." and my grandmother said, "no, that's my painting, it's on my wall, and that's where it's going to stay." and i think mrs. johnson tried a couple of more times, so that eventually she gave up and had a copy painted. there are actually two copies made by the artist, greta kempton. and one of them hangs in the truman library just down the road and the other is in the white house, but those are the two copies. this is the original portrait. >> i don't know who did the portrait. i can look it up for you, but back to the table here, bill. >> okay. >> we have to tell the story about the renovations of the white house. >> okay. >> because the trumans, in their almost eight years in the white house, spent less time in that building than any other president. >> there you go. you want to do it? >> absolutely. it was falling down. the leg of margaret's piano fell through the floor, and the engineers were concerned that the whole thing was going to collapse onto the trumans, essentially. so -- >>
