so if i could, i heard robert johnson say he was going to leave. quickly, because you strict a nerve on a few things, you said right now if someone owns 51% of a business, certainly 10%, even 10% the tax breaks, how will the rest of america feel, we saw this fed survey wherever i one's income is down. >> very quickly, because i want to let the other panelists speak. the issue is this, you cannot have the fastest growi ining democratic group in the country being unemployed or under employed. there is no way for the country to completkocompete. american people are compassionate on economic issues we have programs for the poor because we say i guess we assume the poor are in that situation due to no fault of their own. we can become passionate about food stamp s and we do, do it. we have to add another equation to that. it is called being african-american. not me. necessarily. but after can americans who are in need. you take the ten and the 51. why can people look at jamie diamond who does not own 10% of jp morgan chase and nobody will ever question

and there's the robert johnson foundation which is critical. aarp working on future of medicine, future of nursing work with a high, high priority on interprofessional collaboration. we have 49 states with action coalitions, many of which are making this a high priority across the state, across different disciplines. it's very, very challenging. we know there's been efforts before to do this but you also have hearse hersa now tying funding for intereducational collaboration. lots of different things that are efforts in place that i think we should all be trying to reinforce, because it's got to be done from the ground up and we have to change the culture among the existing professionals. >> great. thank you. bob helms? >> okay. one of the major topics today is technology, but i've heard very little discussion about the process of innovation. i think we all sort of believe in science and want to think that there's possibilities for improvement in innovation and technology. but a lot of the literature over the years has complained with a system b

and robert johnson. >> well, the last two vad walls have arrived mr. charles payne and dr. art laugher. after this i'm going to have to talk to them about how we run things in the military. when you come in late to a briefing with the general. it is not a good thing. that whole personal responsibility thing. it is a pleasure to have each and every one of you here. we have the spot to you here everyone knows i'm congressman west from florida district 22. and we are going to get right to the meat of why we are here. i think this is a critical topic of what we have to talk about. i have this little book here and every now and then i read it. it is called rediscovering black conservatism. i think very at the beginning chapter one it talks about over the past 30 years billions of dollars have been poured into black communities around the country into a host of problems including failing schools in adequate housing and crime and drug abuse. despite the efforts of many local institutions agencies, school leaders glass root organizations and community residents, the problems remain

we're joined by robert johnson.to you. >> good morning. >> this is going to be very hard for the queen today. yesterday, as matt said, it was announced that prince philip was in the hospital, would not be attending any of the functions from this point on. >> yes, i thought she looked a little bit lost last night, actually. she looked absolutely preoccupied. he's been with her for all of her life and he's so important to her. at 91, they're not going to take any risk whatsoever. if it is a bladder infection, it follows from the heart attack he had just before christmas, and so i think they're really quite concerned here. they're trying to play this down. they're not going to be issuing all 9 time, but she will be preoccupied. and it's actually quite a sad moment for her today that he's not with her. >> you mentioned the events of the last couple of days. as we look, and we see the motorcade arriving now at st. paul's. this is of prince william and catherine, i understand, inside these cars. we talk about the schedule

[applause] >> let's have a hand for robert johnson.applause] >> i think the key word was controversial. we are going to definitely get into a discussion with some of the things that were brought up just now with the panel. i want everyone to know, everyone will be involved in this. where billy going to start moving into. i know a lot of people are anxious. a lot of people taking notes. i see a lot of foot tapping the i even saw some grinding of teeth. [laughter] what i want to finish doing is introducing the rest of the panel. panelists, please may be one, two minutes to tell us more if i missed something so we can really get into this. because to be quite frank with you i had a whole bunch of things i wanted to talk about. but almost at the next two hours just on the things robert mentioned up here. art laffer, founder chairman and ceo of laffer associates. dr. laffer currently lives in nashville tennessee, founder and chairman of his own firm, and economic and research consultant firm. he was a consultant to secretary of treasury wil

robert johnson, ceo of sky angel, us, llc. thank you for being here. we appreciate reading through your testimony and look forward to your comments. just for all the panelists, if you haven't used these microphones, you really need to get pretty close to them, make sure the light's on. >> chairman walden, ranking member eshoo and members of the subcommittee on communications and technology, it is my pleasure to have this opportunity to testify at your hearing today on the future of video and thank you for inviting me to participate. my name is rob johnson. i'm one of the founders of sky angel and its chief executive officer. sky angel was founded for the purpose of providing american families with a high quality and affordable video distribution service in their homes that would offer exclusively family-friendly programming. today offers more than 80 channels that are live linear programming networks, many of which are familiar in american households such as the hallmark channel, fox news, the nfl channel, bloomberg and the weather channel, to name a f

and, you know, i respect robert johnson for so many of the things, where everything he has succeeded. but some of the things he said today kind of go against what this survey said there is a gigantic spike. and some of the problems with black employment and maybe perhaps stopping black entrepreneurship that i think are pretty solvable, and it's not by the way just black, this is across the board. but punctuality is a gigantic problem for businesses. interpersonal skills was a gigantic problem for these businesses. and only advanced computer skills outranked them as being problems when it comes to hiring. so we have talked about education and things like this. but what about the idea of just getting people accustomed to going to work in general? what kind of policies can be put into place that sort of promote basic work skills and then entrepreneurship after that? anyone have any ideas on that? >> rosey grier and i did a lot of work together in california. rosy greer took these little classes on just how to put your pants on correctly, how to wash your hands, the speech patterns. it re

i love brother robert johnson. i am a christian. got to love everybody. i was disappointed. brother had lost that job and my brother clifton, going to bounce back and remain true to your calling, not your career. don't become free occupied. with your job, have a sense of what your life path is. don't be obsessed with your profession. be tied to your location and the truth to people who have been enslaved, jim crow, hated and despised to have an anthem called lift every voice. did not ever become an echo. be true to yourself. he was down and out and broke the 10 commandments financially at that time and bounced back national public radio, national public tv. tavis smiler foundation. 13 years now he and i meet for a week every summer with young black youth, young black leaders, thousands of them. got a number of them at princeton. we have to hunt them down. and the grant exhibition. books and so forth and so on and i get upset when i hear people say about tavis smiler that somehow he doesn't have his focus on serving others because he is so successful and because he owns every

robert f. kennedy. when the senator secured the nomination, white was named national chair of citizens for kennedy johnson. as a practical matter, the position provided robert kennedy with a daily opportunity to consult white for advice on campaign tactics and strategy as well as for twelter personnel judgments required by a national campaign. after senator kennedy was elected, white was named deputy attorney general. his first task was to recruit assistants attorney general who would be the front line officers m department of justice. white finished the task and one distinguished legal scholar declared it was the most brilliantly staffed department we had seen in a long time. the quality of personnel was a vision of public service that would have done anyone proud. in addition to making staffing decisions, he was responsible for supervising the vetting for more than 100 judges nominated during the administration's first year. he received national recognition during the freedom writers crisis in may of 1961 when he organized and directed an ad hock contention of here owe ebbingic federal officers to prote

in it is privates henry johnson and needham roberts, they are depicted in the event and for their heroism. one night, they were on duty as centuries, guarding their outfit, which was the 369th infantry, known as the harlem hell fighters. that night, about 20 to 30 germans snuck up and attacked them, and the century -- they managed to attack the germans. this made headlines. the two black gis were awarded a french medal of honor. they were the first americans to be awarded the quantity. it is a remarkable document. it is surprising that it has survived. this is an 1830s scrapbook. it is a commercial scrapbook with full leather. it was probably bought the stationery store. what is interesting about this one, is it was assembled and maintained by a young woman and reflects a sensibility of her time. they were things that interested her for reasons we may never understand. .. i suspect with something like that, be 1 who put this together and is, i am afraid, unidentified, probably did the hand, during of many of these things using watercolors. still very bright, very nice. one of the most int

recently reading robert's latest volume on lyndon johnson and a memory came to mind by a wonderful cartoon of the los angeles times, showing a wise figure beginning to write the history of the johnson administration with the right hand while lyndon johnson had his lefts arm in a lock deck dating what was going on in the memoirs. so first for both much you, and to john, you find your book subject to be a person preof course if id with legacy. senator, are you preofoccupied with your legacy. >> i appreciate you saying that. you did one of the first reviews that pointed out that the legacy project that for which i'm chief historian is not interested in that in any way. the ground rules, when i took the job with the secretary of state's office we were going to do meaningful work not subject to fair favor and that the subjects themselves didn't get to be the editor had their -- [inaudible] slade from the get go, he wouldn't haven'ted that and he was -- he wouldn't havemented that. he was understanding about some of the harsh things people had to say. i don't know if he bristled or not in privat

robert e. lee. for the others, joseph e. johnson and others like that, show themself to be contentious, unimpressed by the president himself, really not entirely viewed with the notion of the proper relation of a general in a civil democracy, as being subordinate to the civil authority. davis will have trouble with a lot of other commanders throughout the war. this is one of the best known things about his presidency. >> it should be noted that robert e. lee's first field command was a failure in west virginia, which was in the process of becoming west virginia. in the summer and early fall of 1861. so much so that the richmond newspapers started calling him granny lee. it wouldn't be entirely clear to davis in 1861 that lee was going to emerge as the top field commander for the confederate army. >> he had been an engineer as well. he was sent to south carolina to oversee the construction, he does exactly that and requires the nickname spads lee. >> getting back to the older veterans who have eventually to move on for the emergence

robert jordan is in the newsroom with marco johnson's strategy for reducing youth gang violence ... a number of people are quietly working behind the scenes to stop the boys and girls from entering into the dead and gang life ... marco johnson has a plan that's already showing results ... blue lights, yellow police tape those are too recognizable signs that violence occurs ... while the shootings are down from last year >>we're down 10% from last year it will continue it will take us awhile where we need to get where we have to go ... >>cold comfort for people who are dodging bullets on the streets ... but here is hope ... >>we can cut off the supply and the gangs will be diminished over time we have to go up the supply of young kids high-risk kids who can be easily altered in their thinking ... marker johnson is a 28 year police the officer veteran ... today he is playing baseball with the only sign of authority his police cap his concern and his stern guidance offering help to children looking for a male adult to point them and the right direction ... >>it's a great hook because t

that cronkite was so obsessed with getting out of vietnam that he went and asked robert kennedy to run against lyndon b. johnson who was the presumed guy running, because kennedy was against the war in vietnam. that tells you how passionate cronkite got against the vietnam war. he was friends with lyndon b. johnson. they were friends back in texas. johnson had only the cbs affiliate in austin. frank stanton, his boss, was one of the closest friends of lyndon johnson. it is seen as the turning moment, it the cronkite moment when he denounced it. it could have gone either way. he started becoming a hero of liberals. >> we had demonstrations in this time. this can along in 68. what proof is there that walter cronkite had that big of an impact on changing things when the war did not end to 73? >> i do not think he had that big of an impact. i think it was symbolic. he gave a boost of adrenaline to the new left or to the anti-war movement. it encouraged the dove to say on the attack. it has been over hyped that influence lyndon johnson's decision to not seek reelection. johnson had health problems. this was from the

that cronkite was so obsessed with getting out of vietnam all calls that he asked robert kennedy to run against lyndon johnson who was the presumed the guy running because kennedy was against the war in vietnam. it tells you how passionate cronkite got against the vietnam war. because he was friends with lyndon johnson. lyndon johnson and lady bird were friends of walter cronkite. johnson had owned the cbs affiliate in austin and a lot of properties with cbs and dr. frank stanton, cronkite's offendable boss at cbs was one of the crew of -- closest friends of lyndon johnson. it is seen as the turning moment, i call of the cronkite moment where he denounces the income and at that point it could've gone either way for him, but he started becoming a hero of liberals. >> we had had demonstrations in 1965, '66, '67, and this came on in 1968. what proof is there that walter cronkite had that big an impact in changing things if the war did not end in 1973. >> i do not think he had a big impact. it became symbolic. what it did is gave a boost of adrenaline to the new left or the anti-war movement, that they had cherry

. >> the last defense secretary to visit kam ranh bay was robert mcnamara and lyndon johnson made the cover of life magazine when he visited troops there. it's long been a coveted ported in asia. the u.s. used it during the war as an entry point for the military. leon panetta arrived today after outlining the new strategy in asia that will position two-thirds of the navy in the pacific as the u.s. pists away from the middle east. ships like the richard byrd now docked in the bay for repairs. the port is one of the largest ports in asia and one of the most protected. >> reporter: this is where all u.s. troops, supplies and warships entered vietnam during the war. it's the first time a u.s. defense secretary has visited the bay since the end of the war. >> it's been 17 years since the u.s. and vietnam normalized relations. now, the u.s. is seeking to reach out and improve military relations with vietnam as the rise of china's military looms large across the region. u.s. seeks to ensure that the south china sea with the vast untapped oil resources and shipping lanes remain open to everyo

forces during the vietnam war, troops and war ships would dock there, the last one was robert mcnamara and lyndon johnson in 1966 made the cover of "life" magazine, when he went to greet troops in cam rahn bay. it came a day after the defense secretary addressed other defense ministers in the region, outlining the new strategy, the president's new strategy to pivot or tilt towards asia and put two-thirds of the u.s. navy's assets, ships and other vessels in the region. he explained that to the defense ministers in singapore. he arrived in vietnam and he would like to convince the vietnamese to have closer ties. they are being -- they are building on a normalization. we had an exclusive interview with secretary panetta, visiting the u.s. naval ship, the byrd. i asked him what it meant to him to be in vietnam. here's what he said. >> the war... does play a big role in terms of not only the lessons we learned from that war, but i think alms the fact that as a result of that war, we probably have an even higher obligation to get involved in the healing process by improving our relations with this country. >>

in it two black dough boys, privates henry johnson and needham roberts, are depicted in the event thaton them kudos for their heroism. one night they were on duty as zen seven tries, guarding their outfit which was the 369th infantry known as the harlem hell fighters. that night about 20-30 germans shuck up and attacked the -- snuck up and attacked the two sentries, and the sentries managed to kill or wound 20 to 24 of the germans. this was a huge event and made all the headlines in the papers back in the u.s., and the two black g.i.s were awarded the french cdv. and they became the only -- not the only, but the first americans to be awarded the cdv in france during the first world war. it's really a remarkable document of that, it's surprising that it survived. this is a 1830s scrapbook. it's a commercial scrapbook, done in full leather as it was bought probably in a stationary store. what's interesting about this one is that it was assembled and maintained by a young woman and really reflects the sensibilities of her time. it consists largely of items that she found interesting, imag

if you go back and read dish just finished robert caro's book on lyndon johnson.t worse today than it's ever been? >> it's worse than i have seen it. and i've been here for almost 43 years. you know, it is not as if we've had these wonderful periods where everything works well together. we use the old cliche of people sitting around the campfire, holding hands and singing cumbaya. that's not how the system was designed. it was designed to be rambunctious and partisan. all of that is good and it's fine. the level of vitriol the amount of lying that takes place, that gets nothing but reward for it, basically, the tribal politics and the polarization and in this case, in particular, a republican party that has very consciously decided to act like a parliamentary minority but in a system that doesn't tolerate it. all of that makes it -- the title of the book is "it's even worse than it looks" because it never looks pretty. >> bill: how the american constitutional system collided with the politics of extremism. the refreshing thing i find about your book is you do real

passage to power by robert caro about the competition and interaction between president kennedy and lyndon johnsonnd lyndon johnson's vantage point. pretty interesting kind of hard-nosed politicians both publicly and behind-the-scenes jockeying for position throughout the primary election in 1960 and throughout the convention which is interesting and the other book is the social conquest of earth by edward wilson which is basically how our species came cause -- came to rely on social interaction emotional intelligence and the way we communicate with each other and build the social networks we have and how far back that goes. it is a really interesting book to be reading at the same time you are reading about the kennedy/johnson interactions because there is so much perception and the emotional intelligence needed in politics and reading people and all this and something our species has been devolving with for a long time. in the final book, by father thomas keating called heartless. he is our originated -- someone who started to promote centering prayer which is a christian brunner--- christian ba

ron johnson and from citizen action of wisconsin, robert craig, a supporter of tom barrett. mr., first of all, you knowings, for the president to be so close to wisconsin, knowing this is a close race, supporting mr. barrett, not being willing to go in and put his prestige on the line here and sending out a tweet, you know, what is it? i heart you, i love you. doesn't that seem weak to you? >> i actually think he should have done more. we did get bill clinton. >> sean: you didn't get the president. >> i think the president should have done more. i don't disagree with you. but i think, quite frankly, that the results are going doff a huge implication for the presidential election. so i don't disagree. he should have done more. >> sean: there is a lot at stake here. i think more than anything else, i think this is going to accepted a message to every reform governor that has put their political careers on the line and they have said, look, this is what we have to do to balance the budget. i am going to make tough decisions and take $3.6 billion in a deficit and i am going to turn

his liberalism effect him in a bad way is cronkite went to senator robert kennedy and urged him to run for president against lyndon johnsonrimaries. first of all, you can't encourage somebody to run for president, you know. you can't do that. >> right. >> secondly you can't do that and then decide you had nothing to do with him running for president. that's where cronkite's liberalism induced him to cross the line. that was one example. >> bill: thank you. in a moment, where was i last week? iceland. that's where. why did i go there? you may be surprised. the factor in iceland moments away. sometimes life can be well, a little uncomfortable. but when it's hard or hurts to go to the bathroom, there's dulcolax stool softener. dulcolax stool softener doesn't make you go, it just makes it easier to go. dulcolax stool softener. make yourself comfortable. >> back of the book segment tonight. reality check, we begin with president obama addressing a convention of far left americans in providence, rhode island. it's time to move forward and build an economy where everyone has a fair shot at success. at this make or break moment f

generals wanted to feed him and the secretary of defense, and lyndon johnson he became their--one of their important spokes people robertverything that we're talking about now is, indeed, in the play but the play is about him as this extremely complex and kind of larger than life character, larger than life emotions. >> cenk: the parallels that i saw was, number one, we had false information about iraq. which the newspapers were doing the drum beat, false information. they wouldn't listen to the people saying not true. >> shock and awe. shock and awe. >> joy: the other thing that truck me is in a way he's high-ranked rush limbaugh. he has a lot of power, and in a way it's a misuse of that power. >> well, he didn't consider it misusing it. he considered him right and righteous. >> joy: so does limbaugh. >> in an important loud voice. different almost in every other way than limbaugh but in the contemporary journalistic landscape, limbaugh is probably the best comparison--the most powerful voice the way alsop was. >> joy: on the other hand, he was socially liberal. he fought against people like joe mc mccarthy. >> and a g
