Armed forces. unfortunately this situation reminds me of an lbj moment during vietnam when he micromanaged award of failure, apparently we are seeing some parallels here with the biden administration, president biden micromanaging us to failure in afghanistan because of his lack of leadership, his refusal to take question and his refusal more improperly than that to implement a plan in afghanistan as our commander in chief to effectively evacuate our citizens safely and help our afghan allies an...

Struggle for social justice and the struggle for civil rights is a lifelong commitment of yours, both in your scholarship and in your life, in your activism, and i feel like you think deeply about how tactics fit into overall strategies here. and the easy way to think about this is having inside and outside tactics working towards the same direction. i feel like theres been a lot of wind and a lot of ink expended talking about what the options are voting rights proponents in terms of getting thi...

Strategies? >> my feeling is biden thinks hes the fdr when hes the lbj of the moment. you have to step up president biden and ensure that the voting rights of your fellow americans are protected. hes a master of the senate like president johnson and he knows what the talk is. call it out, mr. president. tell your former colleagues in the senate theyve got to get these bills through and if that means changing the rules, so be it. he knows theyre not written into the constitution. theres multiple ...

The same direction. i feel like theres been a lot of -- a lot of wind and a lot of ink expended talking about what the options are for voting rights proponents in terms of getting this done and it just doesnt seem like anything is budging. do you think that direct action is the key to unlocking this? do you think its -- >> absolutely. >> -- one of a multiplicity of strategies? how do you see that working? >> my fear is that joe biden thinks that hes called to be the fdr of this moment when hes a...

Crisis. i think this picture helped show whos in the room, the mood, the emotion of the moment, which was he was about to call the ceos of two automobile companies to tell them the federal government was going to take over the company. as you recall, it was very controversial at the time. and i was thinking who is this man? how does he deal with crisis? and i think some words that were crossing my mind were leadership, character and empathy. >> the more ive studied leaders in crisis times, wheth...

This thought, make authentic photographs, think mood, emotion, context. be ready for the fleeting moments, both big and small. my goal was to create the best photographic archive of a president that had ever been done. lasting images for history. the origination of my office was a military office during the kennedy administration. lbj wanted somebody to cover everything and he hired this guy named yoshi yokomoto who traveled with him as vice president.

And cabinet members. he used to call them the harvards. and certainly it can be said that during his youthful years in texas, he never met anyone named mcgeorge until he got to the white house. >> and maybe later on he felt that that was not a bad thing since he and mack bundy did not end up too well, they were on opposite sides. but i understand where david is coming from. and im much too polite to note that ignatius himself went to harvard so he knows whereof he speaks. but i think if you try ...

Ignatius himself went to harvard. he knows whereof he speaks. but i think if you try to explain this in terms of, you know, people who lyndon johnson would have said, too smart for their riches -- that comes from a top that lbj had with sam rayburn in 1961. he was saying how great all these people under jfk were. and sam rayburn said yes, they all sound very smart. but i sure wish, lyndon, that one of them had run for office. the people that you had mentioned have not run for office. but joe bid...

20 years later, it turned into nation building. turned into a corrupt government. it turned into something that many americans not only have not supported, but an amazing number, according to polls, are not even aware that we have been a war at war in afghanistan. >> for the reason of thinking of you this week is the top of lbj comparisons and parallels. and your intense concentration as an author and historian on president johnson. in fact, there was something written in the post yesterday by d...
