Flew into town in a Helicopter while campaigning for US Senator in 1948. I was 13 and rode my bicycle over to the park to hear him speak. He was slender at the time, and he stood on a small platform while speaking. I was about twenty feet away. Thirteen at the time. My impression? A salesman, not very likable And drew not much applause from the small crowd there. His opponent got more votes by far on Election day. Yet he was elected by a famous margin of less than 100 statewide. The next time I saw him up close was in the commons at UT Austin. when he was Vice President. Heavier and more solemn. Gave a good speech. Went to a reception Room. I was a gofer for Ralph Yarborough , a liberal Democrat who did not get along with Johnson. So i got in the room and watched him meet with VIPs, Amazing to watch him work. His face was as mobile as a great character actor’s . No doubting his stage presence.

That film drum was the sound pick up device on those old 16 mm Sound movie projectors. They would bob up and down slightly while the movie film was being dragged over them. Inconsistency in the tension of the film on the drum was a result of the load being put on the film projector's DRIVE MOTOR that ran the whole process. The end result: The sound WARBLED a little bit. Did you learn something ? Fuck you stupid assholes.

He was an old Cold Warrior. "They" had been planning a war since 1954 & Kennedy wasn't on board & trusted none of them after Bay of Pigs. Johnson owned Bell Helicopter stock & told "them" that if they'd get him elected, "they" could have their war. Still not sure if Golf of Tonkin really happened like they said. LBJ as master of the Senate knew how to talk to folks and nvr understood why North Vietnamese wouldn't bargain with him. The war could've been stopped by bombing Haiphong Harbor but that would've brought China in. Same reason we didn't finish the Korean War. Also, Johnson was controlled by Brown & Root (Halliburton) that made a fortune.

Ten days later, at approximately 3:39 p.m. Central Time on January 22, 1973, Johnson suffered a massive heart attack in his bedroom. He managed to telephone the Secret Service agents on the ranch, who found him still holding the telephone receiver, unconscious and not breathing. Johnson was airlifted in one of his planes to San Antonio and taken to Brooke Army Medical Center, where cardiologist and Army colonel Dr. George McGranahan pronounced him dead on arrival. He was 64 years old

That was the start of the rehabilitation of his image. In the sick and twisted world of the Demonrats, they're all saints. Roosevelt and his pal Churchill were the two biggest warmongers ever. LBJ was not only a warmonger, but an irresponsible criminal and traitor.

It was amazing that I just learned how bad he was and now I have learned how good he was. For the things he did help change were things that needed to change at that time.

I don't know who were all the former colleagues and friends that stayed loyal and by his side right up to the end, but I'm sure Lady Bird was all he needed.

He had a practice of walking around the White House naked in front of his staff and taking a dump while demanding his staff to come into the bathroom while he was taking a bowel movement just to screw with them. And here’s something else you didn’t know about him, he was the biggest racist in the state of Texas. He just got civil rights past to promote his legacy for future generations.

I was stationed in Korea in the US Army in 1966 when President Johnson was scheduled to visit the troops. I was assigned to a Signal Corp Unit in Yongsan Base. We were instructed by superiors to prepare for his visit by getting the motor pool readied for possible inspection. I don't recall if he actually visited our location, but it was both an honor & a nervous time for all of us. Little did we realize at the time that the Vietnam War would escalate to the degree that it did. It took a tremendous toll on Johnson, as this interview indicates.

It was LBJ who said that ‘if (he) lost Cronkite he’d lost Middle America’. Says a lot that he chose to sit down for this interview with him that he had to know might well be his last.

Attended my sister-in-laws PhD degree graduation ceremonies at University of Michigan, May 22, 1964. LBJ had agreed to give the graduation speech when he was vice-president, in 1963, and he did not cancel upon becoming president. His speech was memorable. It was the first introduction of The Great Society. My family was impressed and was certain it was the start of his running for president and his platform to move the U.S. forward for all citizens.

A very interesting and articulate interview, i'm glad i took the time to watch. LBJ always seemed so uneasy in front of a camera or crowd, his words were always clipped and so obvious he was reading his speech word by word. But this interview showed another side, unrehearsed answers to questions by America's foremost news commentator. Civil Rights was by far his swan song during his tenure, however his reluctance to stand up against his Generals in the armed forces and de-escalate the Vietnam debacle would be his downfall. Between his Generals, and the Defense Contractors, they pressured him to escalate the actions there rather than slowly retreat. It was a Catch 22 for LBJ i know, but if he had stood up to these people here as vehemently, as he fought for his Civil Rights program, he may not have failed in his efforts in the war. It will forever remain a stain on his entire political career and moreover, his Presidency. Listening to the brainiac McNamara was LBJ's biggest fault when it came to Vietnam. McNamara's book "In Retrospect" that he penned in the 1990s fully apologized for his actions during these turbulent 60s, he admitted he was 180 degrees wrong on the entire theme. He guided LBJ and was trusted to make the right decisions, and he failed miserably. McNamara's ice cold calculations, reducing human lives of our boys to mere numbers and statistics was his exact theme and modus operandii whilst he was at Ford. Henry II was very glad to rid himself of McNamara and pawned him off to the JFK administration just days after JFK won in Nov 1960. All in all i am glad i watched this interview, it gave me a new insight into a President that i always reviled, but now i come away with a bit more flexible views about him.

You can blame LBJ for the memo he signed 4 days after JFKs death. JFK has signed a memo to have 1000 advisors in Vietnam brought home by Dec '63 and the rest by '65. LBJ was the one committing our troops to Vietnam and I would suggest Brown and Root had LBJs ear much more than McNamara. As far as the civil rights legislation, that was already written by Kennedy. He was in the process of getting it signed into law before his death. Not to mention his involvement in the assassination and cover up.

Quite interesting and informative. His recounting conversations with future supreme court justice thurgood marshall was a golden nugget. He appeared resigned that we shall overcome was but a step in our nations history. I believe that if he had a crystal ball perspective of america in 2023, he would be morally and historically appalled at our regression. Yet the attempt to create a great society was a signature achievement, despite continuing determination to curtail its progress. Thank you for a candid look back.

Also, I honestly, truly feel that he changed when out of office, and became filled w/regret over the terrible policies he enacted, but did at least enjoy a small measure of pride over the good ones (and there WERE good ones).

Had his own sister Josefa murdered .....a great man .

Watching this I just learned more about LBJ than I ever learned in school. Until now I didn't realize that I was proud of many of his achievements. The job of President is unenviable at best and perhaps he could have done better. But he fought for racial equality and he did some good there. I'm pleased to see that he fought for minorities as much as he did. Reading between the lines he seems sad that he wasn't able to do more. I wonder what he would be fighting for in today's climate. We still have far to go but I'm grateful that he was able to help push forward the amount he did.

You know the civil rights act of 64 was just a distraction so the US could jump into the genocide of Vietnam right? There were previous civil rights acts that had absolutely nothing to do with LBJ, Jumbo, or war; 1957 and 1960 come to mind.

In today's political arena he'd be fighting to line his pockets with more GOLD. Johnson entered politics as a broke ex schoolteacher and when he left the presidency he and Lady Void had over ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. You may now resume your previous North Korea type brainwashed programming.

Sorry, I'm laughing so hard right now !

Thank you for this. I'm British but deeply interested and fascinated by US politics. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

One of the most complicated figures in American history.

As someone who demonstrated against Johnson, I'm afraid I must say that he looks pretty good in retrospect.

considering the idiocy of Trump and the GOP it is easy to look at LBJ and wish we had him in office today.

My college professor told me when he was young, he marched and burned LBJ in effigy. He then said after looking back, little did he know, LBJ was the last best president this nation ever had.

This important piece of history spirals into even greater importance today.
