johnson is concerned. there are f.b.i. reports coming to johnson from j. edgar however, who despised king and despised most of the civil rights movement. so johnson is wary. but you can see evidence that he is an ally. but allies are not necessarily people that go swimming naked in the white house pool, which a lot of people did. allies are people that often get along the least. so they both have things that they're going for and both have things that they want. getting to that point is the trick in politics. it is the art of the possible. you have two men who were exquisite politicians. host: we will hear that and family will get joe califano's thoughts. dr. king: it's very interesting mr. president, the only state that you didn't carry, got less than 40% of the negros registered to vote. a recent article from the university of texas clearly demonstrates it's so important to get negros registered to vote in large numbers in the south. and it will be a coalition of the negro vote in the moderate white vote that will make the new south. president johnson: t

this was lyndon johnson's world. i say in my book, we are living in lyndon johnson's world today with all of the laws but this certainly was, and look what it has done in terms of the congress and the senators and the federal government and the thousands of state and local people who are black, who are elected all over this country. host: mr. germany, in the speech he uses terms like it will be a different battlefield. he knew that even with the passage of this law, there was a lot of work to do. mr. germany: there was a lot of work to do. you go back and listen to that conversation between king and johnson. he said the new south was going to pick built from progressive white democrats and african-american voters never comes the backbone of the democratic party. i think that was lyndon johnson's vision from 1960 four to remake the democratic party. if you look at the -- from 1964, to remake the democratic party. if you look of the population, there were several counties that had no black voters registered and had not

johnson is concerned. there are fbi reports coming to johnson from j edgar hoover who despised king and the civil rights movement. johnson is wary, but you can see evidence that he is an ally. but allies are not necessarily people that go swimming naked in the white house pool, which a lot of people did. allies are people that often get along the least. so the both of things that they are going for an things that they want to read to that point is the trick in politics. it is the art of the possible. you have two men who were exquisite politicians. host: we will hear that and family will get joe califano's thoughts. dr. king, it's very interesting mr. president, to note that the only state you did not carry in the south was my home state. and less than 40% of the negroes registered to vote. [indiscernible] at the university of texas a recent article brought this out very clearly, to demonstrate the importance of negroes registered to vote in the south and it will be a coalition of the negro vote and the mo

johnson was a master of that. and he used a combination of flattery, cajoling or whatever it took to get someone to his side. the adjective you often hear associated with johnson is is ruthless. but i contest that. i don't think johnson was ruthless at all. i think he was too smart to be ruthless. because he knew washington at that time, if you ran over somebody, if you were ruthless, you wouldn't be able to get them over to your side in the future. he needed those folks in the future. so he only pushed them far enough to order not to alien ate them. that's his mastery. he got that more than anybody. >> i think that's very important. he was a master. one of the things he understood is today's enemy, today's opponent may be tomorrow a's colleague. and maybe the person you need tomorrow. one of the great truths of on washington i think and i think one of the wisest thing lyndon johnson ever said, he said to one of his aides one time, never tell a man to go to hell unless you know how to put him there. and i've alway

johnson is a details guy. catsen back is putting together the details to make sure the is will be dotted and the ts crossed. >>> would you agree the president clearly had a mind how he wanted this to progress even from day one? >> there's no question about it. remember, he looked at the senate. the problem was the filibuster. he knew that he had to get -- in those days it was two-thirds of the senate. so it was 67 votes. he had to get 67 votes to break what would be a sudden filibuster and a long sudden filibuster. he knew he would have to work with everett dirkson. first, he wanted to have a real sense of the bill. he wanted to know what all the traps were. he wanted to know how to get it done so it would be effective. he wanted to make sure that the bill delivered to him and to the justice department. enough power so that they could really get something done when it came to enforcing what congress passed. and it was, as you'll see as we go along, everett dirkson became a very important part of this legislati

now, america can't change what happened to henry johnson. we can't change what happened to too many soldiers like him who went uncelebrated because our nation judged them by the color of their skin and not the content of their character. but we can do our best to make it right. in 1996 president clinton awarded henry johnson a purple heart. and today 97 years after his extraordinary acts of courage and selflessness i'm proud to award him the medal of honor. we are honored to be joined today by some very special guests, veterans of henry's regiment the 369th. thank you to each of you for your service. and i would ask command sergeant major lewis wilson of the new york national guard to come forward and accept this medal on private johnson's behalf.

[inaudible] that's one reason might andrew johnson by one vote because johnson gives the guarantee of the wavering senate that the person put in charge of the army will be a person and the general grant, what he's not going to do them moment the wavering senator decides they are going to vote which is why he escapes conviction by one vote. thirty-five votes to convict, 19 to acquit. he needed two thirds vote and without the republican. [inaudible] have it gone too far? of course they have even with reconstruction the advance that happened after the civil war, you could go to a black family and say in 1900 say well you can't vote in the south but your discriminated against, that women are afraid of any white man that wants to go after them and no jury convicts them, they would say what are you talking about? i own myself, people can't sell up my wife, my kids, my husband, any longer. i can, any longer. i can seek other jobs if i want to. course they weren't as good as they were but i can read and write now and i have a chance to go to school and i didn't have that before. yes but is th

course of johnson's presidency. there is another painting on the thet by charles russ, famous painter of western themes. this was a painting that hung at the lbj ranch that the johnsons subsequently gave to the library. in this case, there were many gifts given to the johnsons, by friends and in some cases by heads of state, including a wonderful solid gold representation of the moon where there is a diamond where the sea of tranquility is located. the sea of tranquility is of course where neil armstrong and buzz aldrin first landed on the moon. course,t johnson, of was very active in the space program. actions occurred after he left the oval office. it was very much part of his efforts that we made it to the moon. this is a small, private office set up for president johnson. it was meant to model the private's office in the oval office. replicathat door is the of the johnson oval office. this was a small study that he used on occasion. it includes a very long couch. very long because johnson often took naps. it end

charles johnson was sworn in on december 23, 2013. prior to joining dhs, secretary johnson served as general council for the department of defense where he was part of the senior management team and led more than 10,000 military lawyers across the department. he was general counsel of the department of air force from 1998 to 2001 and he served as assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york from 1989 to 1991. secretary johnson was a partner in the new york city base laugh firm. secretary johnson graduated from morehouse college in 1979 and received his law degree from columbia law school in 1982. mr. secretary your entire written statement will be entered into the record, and we ask that you summarize your testimony in five minutes or less, and we welcome you again. >> thank you, chairman. i can do that. you have my prepared testimony as you noted. chairman, congressmen, it's a pleasure to see you again. chairman last time i was here, i noted or you noted that 38 years ago, i was an intern for congressman hamilton fis

gail lewinsky, is medicare working like explained there by president johnson? guest: in general yes. medicare was designed to meet a very particular meeting for the older population of america to make sure they would have access to insurance coverage or hospitals and physicians. a challenge to most seniors even those that were not low income had a great deal of trouble getting insurance. it changed a lot, the coverage has broadened, we have 55 million people on medicare now. almost 10 million of whom are disabled. and under 65. preventative services, many are covered. outpatient prescription drug coverage has been expanded. in 2003, through legislation. the financing has changed significantly, but the need that medicare was designed to respond to, making sure that seniors would have access to care has indeed been that. guest: i agree with her and i add a few more items. one is that health care delivery has changed dramatically since lyndon b. johnson gave that speech. in those days, most people got their care and hospitals by physicians. over the years there ha

you can believe that maybe andrew johnson was part of the conspiracy to get to the top. you can believe the conspiracy was part of holland standing people to kill a president. jube say that is not all that crazy? but since the party was founded, who are the presidents of the opposition party? one was harrison and he died in office but they said it was pneumonia and the next was zachary taylor and he got in the way of the selfie and he died in office but how convenient then abraham lincoln and there is the pattern and democrats say but then to the what type of message does that send the there is a broader conspiracy out there and people believed it. there were books but it is all parts of the mindset end if you have another president who believes members of the congress ought to compare themselves to christ that think members plan to kill, kill 8 million americans in the south it is a level of irrationality that is incredible. suppose did the president of the united states said today if you want me to say where the traders of the united states? i say mitch mcconnell. spea

i don't think johnson was ruthless at all. i think he was too smart to be ruthless. he knew in washington at that time if you ran over somebody, if you were ruthless, you wouldn't be able to get them to your side in the future. he needed those folks in the future. so he only pushed them far enough. that was his mastery. that's what he got i think more than anybody in that. >> i think, i think that's very important. he was a master and one of the things he nooud understood is today's enemy, today's poenl may be tomorrow's colleague and may be the person you need tomorrow. i always -- one of the great fruits of washington, i think, and irng one of the wisest things lyndon johnson ever said, he said never tell a man to go to hell unless you know how to put him there. and i've always thought the advice i would give to any young person coming into washington, always remember that. it's a good life rule. and let me just add one thing about -- you're talking about the johnson treatment. what i think a lot of people don't understand is that the johnson treatment was not just

we have a retired executive from johnson & johnson. we have a lot of initiatives out there. part of my job is being on offense tuesday one step ahead of a lot of the threats we know we face. >> you have talked about what you call the new normal. tell us what the new normal is and what is the new normal in the context of the threat from isis? secretary johnson: over the last 14 years, we have seen core al qaeda, as everyone knows the al qaeda affiliated elements of our shabbat, which while i was at -- al qaeda affiliated elements of al-shabaab, which while i was at defense, we were focused on. we have done a lot to degrade through our core efforts. we have done a lot to to grade aqap. the main terrorist threat has evolved and it has evolved in a very significant way, from those groups to more groups. isil being the most prominent example. and it has evolved from terrorist attacks to terrorist-inspired attacks. i disagree a little bit with gym last night in that i think the distinction between terrorist directed and terrorist inspired is a significant one that the american peo

in this one, i particularly didn't like the portrayal to president johnson. in this regard, he was a champion. he was not portrayed as a champion, but sort of a nit. he wasn't a nit the. he was a real great guy. >> in your estimation, did lyndon b. johnson impede or help facilitate civil rights? >> he helped it, push it forward. if it hadn't been for president johnson, wouldn't have the civil rights act, the voting rights act. just a succession of good things that happened when president johnson was president. true. >> what presidentses, aside from johnson, have had positive influences in recent history on civil rights? >> gee. it's hard to say because none of them have had an overwhelmingly positive effect on civil rights. if you take away president johnson, there is not a president who has been way up here in my estimation. johnson is way up here but none of the others are. >> is there someone who is surprisingly good that we don't think about too often who did good things? >> no. >> no? >> no. there is none. >> let's talk about president obama then. you kn

it earned johnson hundreds of millions of dollars. with two solid wins, target and apple, johnson was hired by jc penny to turn it around. that was a disaster. just like every silicon valley story, disaster leads to disruption. johnson dusted himself off and started anew with a few company he calls emjoy selling gadgets and devices, delivering them to your home, and helps you learn how they work at no extra charge. bottom line is amazing ron johnson is responsible for the most successful retail store in the world, the apple store, and while at penny's he oversaw what is the worst financial quarter in retail history. thank you for being with us. so we both worked at jc pennies. i worked selling socks there in 1986 and technically you sold socks there because you sold everything. socks sales pretty good? >> pretty good, actually. explain emjoy to me. this is something my parents would adore. they buy a new laptop. they don't know how to hook it up to the wi-fi. >> right. it's for more than your parents. we're learning that. we're in the

johnson, i talked about this attempt to restructure what "our people" meant. he did not see the bureau as an attempt for inclusion, he saw it as favoritism. here you have the federal government favoring african-americans at the expense of whites. you see these arguments in a democratic broadside from 1866. the idea that what the bureau did was allow black southerners to be lazy -- it was giving them rations, food, encouraging them to loaf about. therefore, why would a former slave work if the federal government was going to give them handouts? johnson opposed the civil rights bill because, as he contended, the distinction of race and color is made to operate in favor of the colored and against the white race. he believed blacks were incapable of acting as good citizens. can it be reasonably supposed, he asked, that former slaves have the requisite qualifications to be citizens? he did not really expect an answer. he thought it was self evident. of course they could not. congressional republicans ultimately passed the extension of the freedmen's bureau and civi

that is one reason why andrew johnson is acquitted by one vote because johnson gives the guarantees to a number of wavering senators that the person he will put in charge of the army will be a person they contrast and general grant can trust, that he is not going to do those things they were afraid of. the number of wavering senators decide they will vote to acquit him which is why he escapes conviction by one vote. 35 votes to 6, 19 to a quick. you needed two thirds vote and without seven republican senators this wouldn't have senators this wouldn't have happened. happened. those seven votes would not be there. what is reconstruction looking like and have we gone very far? of course we have. even with reconstruction done with, the advance that happened after enduring the civil war are tremendous. you could go to a black family in 1900 and say you know you are no longer can vote, the you are discriminated against, you are shed into jim-crow environment. .. you want your that are now when i had a chance to go to school and i didn't have that before, is that different from the time when

cory johnson is with us. say it islarify to possible jim janus is a fan of the company, he just does not like the stock at this price. i do know he watches bloomberg t.v.. if i speak, he will shoot me an e-mail. cory johnson: he is a nice guy and i'm sure he does not wish ill toward anyone a hewlett-packard. the stock is up in the midst of a market route. good on them for the day. stock down about 20% for the year. i would imagine jim janus still short the stock. does it offer some hope this good bank-bad bank thing will work out in the form of margins and they also offered hope restructuring talks might come to an end. cory johnson: whether that be amazing? think about how ridiculous that is. someday, they would stop taking one-time charges. matt: they are firing 55,000 people. cory johnson: initially it was 30,000 people. part of meg whitman's bonus is boast on a pre-restructuring process. ,he more restructuring they do the bigger the pool for part of her bonus. you wonder why someone like jim janus would b
