In search of the real Lyndon Baines Johnson

- One of our most dynamic, powerful and controversial presidents, Lyndon Baines Johnson is on view in a new Broadway play, "All the Way." David Martin sits down with star Bryan Cranston to talk about his transforming role as LBJ, and the larger-than-life man from Texas.
Medicare was literally a life-saver for the elderly in this country. My Dad told a story about how in 1962 my grandfather was rushed to the hospital with a bleeding ulcer. He needed immediate blood transfusions and a operation. Before the doctor would do anything, he asked the family "how are you going to pay for this?" My dad had to rush to the bank for an emergency loan, and lay down the cash. Before they would do anything for my grandfather. That's what it was like in the pre-Medicare days. LBJ had plans to follow-up Medicare for the elderly, with a Medicare-for-all program. But the AMA's opposition to Medicare for seniors had been so virulent, that LBJ new a Medicare for all program would never make it.
It is not perfect. Just look at the U.K. they are privatising now, not completely obviously.
@@johnnotrealname8168 , Canada did it though. I think a Public-Private Medicare System should be implemented. Private for the rich, Public for the poor, as the government tries its best to lift everyone out of Poverty.
@@nuzayerov They have the same problems as the U.K. it is not perfect still.
And that is the way Trump cultists want health care to be again.
@@nuzayerov Public Option is probably the best, howevfer my kids have been on the Medicaid program which is available to virtually all kids in Montana and it's been absolutely wonderful.
Dad was on Medicare before he died, while not all Medicare is the same, we had him on a good option and his medical costs for a few brain surgeries were zero. The Donut for paying in medications have since been closed. I made vg money before caring for him and I had one pill that cost 1000 dollars a week.
Our system is gross and disgusting.
Another way LBJ shaped history was when he left his tape recorder still hooked up in the desk drawer for his successor
Lol
@@andrewduffin5455 Nixon was the WORST President - this was an act of sabotage - far worse than Watergate. It just couldn’t be proved until the tapes were released because nobody took action at the time. Johnson’s domestic legacy makes him one of the greatest. The fact that Nixon couldn’t manage the tape recordings of the white house well enough was just the karma he needed
@@scotthueston1843 LBJ was rotten and corrupt. For what he did in Vietnam and his crucial role in covering up JFK's death...can't be forgiven.
That’s a damn good point
@@vernpascal1531 If you were not white today, you'd still be discriminated without LBJ. He was the ONLY president to convince the South to sign the Civil Rights Bill. He could do anything he wants because he was so persuasive, without him, none of the next presidents would be able to convince the South to accept it. He also had some great programs like the Great Society. The Vietnam War was still terrible, but that can't take away LBJ's accomplishments.
LBJ was the perennial politician. also the epitome of a Greek tragedy.
I read some comments here. Some are credible but some are plain conspiracy theories.
LBJ nearly passed on running for the 1964 election. Many of his advisors questioned his mental health. I believe he was manic depressive, claiming all was lost at the end of the day and in the morning acting as though nothing happened.
Wow, I did NOT see Cranston there. I honestly thought that LBJ had lived longer than I thought.
Tom Hanks need to do a President Johnson movie!!!
Lyndon Baines Johnson was business partner, friends, and political Ally with David Harold Bryd who owned the Texas
Schoolbook Depository Building on November 22, 1963.
David Harold Bryd was a big financial supporter of Lyndon
Baines Johnson, Bryd made a lot of money off the Vienam
War.
We can learn a lot from LBJ's great achievements - and his mistakes. But he was right about the really big things and a much bigger man than today's leaders: "It is wrong… deadly wrong to deny any of your fellows Americans the right to vote in this country.”
say what you will, but LBJ was like most of us, in the sense that he tried to do his best, his intentions were good, he used every mean that was disposable to him, but is that so different from what each of us would do?
200Betelgeuse "I'll have those n voting democrat for the next 200 years".
@@TheDudeAbides1998 not true never said that it has been disproven multiple times. Johnson himself said he lost the south to the Republicans and knew how valuable the south was. Why would he care for black peoples to vote democrat when poor whites in the south outnumber them.
@@daryllndemmayah4874 believe what you like. LBJ is a known racist. You think racist is going to look out nothing but the best interest for a group of people they hate.
Why would known racist say the other side is racist? It's called projection. Demokkkrats are guilty of that since the beginning of time. Majority of those members remained demokkkrats in the govt.
Here is a great quote from LBJ.
"These "n*****s, they're getting pretty uppity these days & that's a problem for us since they've got somethign now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppitynes. Now we've got to do soemthing about this, we've got to give them something just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference."
Look at what welfare and demokkkrat promoting feminism has done especially to the black community. Truth and reality is on my side.
@@TheDudeAbides1998 He also said the Democrats would lose the South for two generations as he signed one of the civil rights bills into law.
@@wwc51450 And who cares. The results is what matters to them. They got what they wanted without even having to do anything is the whole point.
People don't know what LBJ really thought about blacks.
It doesn't matter what he thought. It's about what he did.
Johnson was a racist but also a southern who knew that the “New South” would not achieve its potential unless the seg regime was broken. We wasted too much time and energy holding down blacks.
@The Life Analyst You mean trying to rewrite history democrat idiots.
I like Johnson, warts and all. He did his best.
He led U.S. into a tragic - unneeded war.Got thousands of brave young G.I.s killed.Shame on him.
TheJMascis666 ...smoke another.. 1948 election... murdered Kennedy
@@douggodfrey6521 South Vietnam needed defending from an invading enemy. Shame on you for being so selfish.
Today, LBJ ranks quite high among presidential studies - averaging between 15th and 17th - somewhere on par with Clinton, Reagan and Obama (source- wikipedia presidential rankings)
Had it not been for the disaster of Vietnam and the urban violence, I reckon he would be in the Top 10
I am British and read the excellent Robert Dallek biography at university - Johnson is definitely one of the most interesting US Presidents
Of course we have our own Johnson now
Those Signs should never been there in the first place
A bit like Tony Blair and Iraq.
Blair was a great Premier - very smart, significant domestic achievements - but his legacy will always be overshadowed by Iraq
In a weird way, maybe what we need is a congressional insider to become President again. They'd actually be able to get things passed!
Depends on who the person is and the circumstances of the times. Lyndon Johnson was able to get civil rights by capitalizing off of Kennedy’s death. FDR wasn’t a congressional leader and got a lot done. You just need a fighter
Vietnam was a terrible blight on LBJ's legacy. It however does not negate all the good that was done by him. I think that he gets a raw deal. He was a very intelligent and savvy president. The Vietnam conflict was inherited from the Kennedy administration. It was upgraded to a full blown war during his. I really think it became a huge mess that he wasn't sure how to get out of without America losing face and creating another communist enemy. The things done during that conflict still haunt America today. I don't think anyone behaved well in regards to the war. Not the citizenry of the US or the government. It is a scar on our history all the way around. I don't think that the lessons of that conflict have been learned. tje war in Iraq anf Afganistan is a perfect example. American lives lost for no real gain. We could use someone like Johnson in the White House now especially when you consider the idiot thats there now.
He didn't do a damn thing that didn't feed his EGO.
He was a power pig politician who loathed JFK and was green with envy about his political success. From what we could find out, he was worth about $24 million when he became president. Most of that was from kickbacks, bribes, and back room deals. Study the TFX Scandal and his long term association with BROWN & ROOT. Just the tip of the iceberg. Brown & Root became Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), which got acquired by HALLIBURTON. Is that name familiar?
He was not a very nice man at all when he was president the FBI wiretap to Martin Luther King they spread rumors about Martin Luther King saying he was a communist they said he was a cocaine addict that he cheated on his wife and LBG never did anything about it they said when he was in the White House he used to expose himself to female reporters all the time and yet the press never said anything about it especially the Washington post And I cannot prove it but I think he has something to do with the way John F. Kennedy was assassinated
Have to believe this was a good man who was a prisoner to behind the scenes power. He knew the war was wrong but anti poverty and Civil Rights were good things. So with the bitter we take the sweet. Was a great time to grow up ,seeing history unfold on b&w TV.
He stole all he knew from the works of JFK. Can you believe that he even opened the mail on JFK'S desk in the W.H office on the first day there, after the funeral.
I wish he wouldn't of dove into vietnam 😔 god be with him. I always had a little suspicion that he might of been inn on the Kennedy assassination but that might be untrue.
Innocent until proven guilty. That's what a lot of people in this comment section seems to forget, LBJ was a great president, despite this major flaw.
@tuckermiller9660 I wish he wouldn't HAVE DIVED into vietnam God be with him. I always had a little suspicion that he might HAVE been IN on the Kennedy assassination but that might be untrue. FIFY - peace out!
Everyone should be aware of what good work he did and realize Nam was not caused by him
Johnson's "War on Poverty" destroyed the black family.
what destroyed them was the war on drugs and reaganomics
that's true, too.
Wow, did you know that it was white poverty in Appalachia brought to light by RFK and covered by the print magazine media at the time (1964) that spurred the "War on Poverty"? Check the cover of Newsweek from February 17, 1964. You'll find a hungry little blond girl.
Reportedly, in numerous American cities, more than 50% of black babies are aborted by their mothers - seemingly obviating other arguments about the sources of danger to black people. Ask the school teachers if they know why. Be careful what you ask for. You may get it.

Johnson a great president !
I think LBJ would easily be top 5 presidents if Vietnam didn’t happen
It did though.Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda
He looks more like Bush Senior
Look at their foreheads and hairlines more closely.
His First banch
Rest in peace John Lewis
And his 40 pound lips
I thought the Voting Rights Act only affected a few number of areas (mainly deep south) none of which went to Obama?
There are a lot of stories with regards to the suppression of the 1st amendment of WW II & Korean War veterans, when he basically started the Vietnam War,
Why he was cross sectioned into the civil rights movement he had no choice but to yield
my favourite president. noone would have handled vietnam well. it was, well, a mess. he did so much good for america
Kennedy s civil rights bill would have passed anyway but I think it would have taken a little longer but I love LBJ for passing Kennedy s programs.
he could not even pass his tax cut much less Civil Rights.
JFK wasn't an arm twisting politician like LBJ.
LBJ was the 1st of the bad Democrat presidents, Jimmy Carter, Barry Hussein Obama.
LMAO
Medicare voting rights great, historical LBJ works U.S civil rights
God bless them soul's 😎🌍😇
My Dad thought this guy was a good president . .
You want to search for Johnson?
Ask all the veterans who got injured, maimed for life, etc. who are still alive.
They can tell you..
This stuff is great and all, but the black poverty rate was completely stunted by Johnson's policies and since the 1964 civil rights act black single motherhood has gone from below 20% to near 75%. I would have liked a less politically biased approach to this one.

LBJ was top notch. There is no difference between steak and beans and cornbread when u are hungry...
LBJ is one of the great president in my book.
LBJ was the best president that United States of America ever had in our entire history of our country.
Delusional.
Better than JFK
I sincerely hope the Biden administration resembles Johnson's
We went from removing the term “colored people” to embracing the term “people of color”.
LBJ much preferred another term, a single word that starts with the letter "n".
@@cardinalRGUses that Texas vernacular with friends.
My favorite fact about Lyndon Johnson: he was a teacher.
Gerard Parker well you may have liked him but I know he was the worst corrupt person in the world okay he had so many young men killed in Vietnam JFK wanted to get out but he kept corrupting every day of his life he made so much money because of the Vietnam war but I guess you don't do any reading I hope he never stops turning in his grave because I lost five friends in the Vietnam war I was one that didn't make it there you say he was a teacher yeah you right a teacher of how to corrupt.
Frank F Vano actually he wasn’t corrupt he was just doing his job of leading the armed forces. Also he didn’t make any money off of the war, so that quote of yours didn’t make sense.
He is also responsible for JFK and Robert Kennedy's death
I thought he had all these people killed and was behind the Kennedy assassanation
@@GODWITHUS0712 that's absolute hogwash wash your mouth out
Vietnam Really Overshadowed Him
Starkiller dude Unfortunately it is what 99% of people remember him for. Which is unfair but probably understandable
GET REAL....JFK SENT 3.K TROOPS N' ANOTHER 13.K TROOPS...HAD PREMIER DIEM ASSASSINATED...."TO SHOW RUSSIA ..THE KENNEDY'S WERE TOUGH". ! THE WAR WAS ALREADY HAPPENING SO OLE LADY BIRD AND LBJ GOT RICHER ON KICKBACK AND GOV. CONTRACTS. ! IT'S ALL ABT MONEY AND THE MIDDLE-CLASS PAYING WITH THEIR BLOOD AND MONEY. ! PRESIDENT EISENHOWER WARNED : "THE BEST DEFENSE OF VIETNAM ..WAS TO PROTECT LAOS FIRST". !
He cared about Everyone who died. He shared the pain.
It’s undebatably the worst war the US has ever been involved in so, I mean... 🤷🏻♂️
@@chrisdugan5555 , Afghanistan?
Bryan Cranston is such a great actor. Loved him in Malcolm in the middle and Breaking Bad. Would loved to have seen this.
There’s a movie now. LBJ All The Way. It’s really good
I admire Lincoln the most of any president but LBJ and Nixon were by far the most fascinating men to hold the office. So much good mixed with so much bad. You can find yourself admiring them in one breath before finding them deplorable in the next.
But it’s great though it showed that they where complex human beings with depth and not shallow like the politicians and people we had today.
Lyndon Johnson probably set back liberalism for a generation despite his heroic efforts. His presidency is primarily remembered for the Vietnam War. He certainly achieved a lot though.
If LBJ pulled out of the war at least in 1966 or 1967 he would have been a better president
either way, he would've been called a defeatist and a deserter. he would've been the first US president to lose a war. to him that was the worst thing that could happen
But luckily some of the lives that were lost never get lost
Kyle & Chung if a picture paints 1000 words then why can’t I paint you
LBJ KILLED JFK
He would have also signaled to the world that the US won't stop armed communist insurrection, plus the domino theory would be proved correct and likely most of SEA and even South Asia would fall to communism. It would have been an awful move
Hollywood will always try to replicate the southern accent but they will always look foolish trying.
Pooroo The great It never quite works does it!
You want to see foolish? Hollywood trying to do a New Orleans accent.
Southern accent and a Texas accent are NOT the same.
@@ilovebeinagirl no one can get that right except we who were born and raised there.
@@davidmiddleton436 very close.
Rip John Lewis
Who?
It confirms what I've been saying all along- Johnson was one of the greatest presidents, so sad he could not drop the Vietnam war.
In fact, no president from Eisenhower to Nixon could drop it no matter how they all knew it was all a pipe dream. That's tragic for not only Johnson or the US but for an era of the cold war.
I'll trade you one civil right for one flood prevention.
Cranston does about as good a job of physically resembling LBJ, as anyone could.
His voice & mannerisms aren't quite there, though.
Every president does a fair share of good, bad, and ugly during their terms. This applies to the current president. 36 and 45 were and are men who enjoy power but lack self-restraint. To them power was a drug that they can not get enough of, but one that destroys a person from within and the people around them. A great lesson to teach our kids to not be.
For those who want to give JFK credit for the formation of the 1964 Civil Rights legislation, and cast LBJ as a a bigot, consider this. Between Reconstruction and 1964, there were three civil rights bills with any teeth that were not killed in committee or not allowed for a vote on the floor of Congress -- 1957, 1960, and 1964. In all three cases, it was LBJ, as one of the leaders of the Senate and then as President, who spearheaded the legislation, twisted the arms, counted the votes, and overcame the alliance of Southern Democrats and some conservative Republicans who has successfully opposed such efforts for almost 100 years. By doing so, he faced the wrath of his fellow Democrats, and greatly hindered his chances for election to national office. In the case of the first two bills, JFK was not a factor, as he authored little legislation as a Senator. LBJ was not a bigot, or he never would have made these efforts. In 1964, he could have just let the bill slide, as virtually everyone else had. He used immense amounts of political capital to get the bill passed. A bigot, indeed.
Do NOT forget the role of Vice President Richard M. NIXON when LBJ was Senate Majority Leader & JFK was nothing but a back bencher...Senator...in the 1950s!!! It was Nixon that we the life member of the NAACP! And, friend of Martin Luther King, Sr! And Junior!!!
So, JFK made a phone call and LBJ got the bill passed. Kudos to both, but one was more important than the other.
This is so wrong it was his Brother Boddy who was pushing for it who was the SOD. And he even stay on after John was killed just to see it get passed. Johnson only past it which he even said in a speech that it was one JFK goal to pass it. LBJ only when for because it was one JFK and it was an election year. Pass it pretty much made sure he would get reelection.
@@claytonrowe8103 JFK was the one who friend with MLK like no bro.
@@TheSSUltimateGoku You mean "Bobby" Kennedy. I would suggest that you read Robert Caro about this. Did "Boddy" also pass the civil rights legislation after 1964? Big difference between having a goal and passing legislation. Humphrey and Johnson carefully formed alliances that made law, not promises. To say Johnson "only" passed it is a serious understatement about what makes law.
It’s shocking how many Americans have no idea, or desire to know how awesome LBJ really was.
Jason m. because he wasn't. Look at what his polices have done. Especially to the black communities.
TheDude buddy that was Nixon and Reagan who dismantle some of lbj policies. The war drugs and the Iran contra affair all Reagan. Putting drugs in the streets of minorities all the CIA who where lead by Reagan and Nixon.
@@daryllndemmayah4874 This isn't about Reagan or Nixon. Just because drugs were on the street, doesn't mean you do them. If you do them, you have no one to blame but yourself for being stupid enough to take them.
The war on poverty, Feminism, welfare, food stamps, Nam, HUD, Nam, and JFK assassination as well. And him as a Senator filibustering the Civil Rights. He was a racist. He's the prototype of what you see of these so called SJW marxist liberal demokkkrat.
"These N***es, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference..."
I was a kid in the 60s growing up.I remember the casualty reports every night on the news...Thanks LBJ!!!
He knew he couldn’t win Vietnam, yet continued to let young Americans die.
Ah LBJ, Kennedy's failed second term!
Why are non southerners always cast to play southerners? It’s always cartoonish and takes me out of the performance
Saw Cranston in the movie,would love to see him in another about the rest of LBJ's presidency/life (but it would probably be agonizing to portray)
How far we've sank...
That's why we need to elect Bernie Sanders as the Democratic Nominee and as President in the 2020 election! Medicare for All, Green New Deal, Campaign Finance Reform, Ending of Private Prisons, Legalization of Marijuana, ending our Endless Wars. The list goes on but at this critical point in our nation's history we much elect someone who has been fighting their whole life for the American people.

LBJ gets harsh treatment for the Vietnam war, which was definitely wrong thing to do, but he did so much good maybe one day we'll remember the good over the bad
Arpan- he was a known racist. The typical white so called liberal demokkkrat is the prototype of what you see from their party today. They say one thing but their real intent is evil. What you think he meant when he said "I'll have those n voting democrat the next 200 years". Save the BS.

@@TheDudeAbides1998 There's no proof a Flight attendant said that and Unlike Kennedy he voted Yes on Many Civil Rights Bills and Lost a relationship with many Senators because he was serious about the Civil rights acts
I was neutral on whether or not LBJ was a great man and president, but after studying 5 books which the authors knew Johnson and knew him very well, I'm finding that very hard to do.
brilliant deal-maker and arm-twister. less than ideal chief executive
And absolutely 💯 corrupt. With evidence to prove it. Life magazine was coming out with an exposè about Lbj and his crime partner Bobby Baker on the Monday Nov 25th 63..following JFK's Friday death. It was all canceled and scrapt the minute he became President, at precisely 12.30pm, Nov 22 1963. He was one of the most corrupt potus' ever.
LBJ was a Horse Trader,
traded his soul for the Voting Rights Act.
The Brown & Root Bros got their contracts in
Military base construction projects in Southeast Asia.....
But Johnson demonstrated that he understood precisely
how Horses were traded in the Senate......
After all that, the Appropriations Committee was out of funds,
for fighting a War on Poverty......
Still a mess of poor folks in West Texas.....
The number of coincidences between JFK and Abraham Lincoln is extraordinary. The fact that both were replaced by Southern Democrats of the surname Johnson after assassination is just the tip of the iceberg
And they didn't fail to capitalize on the magnanimity of their deceased predecessors.
He did what Kennedy got credit for!
ted johnson Dude please stop; every historian said JFK treated LBJ with respect; even though LBJ worked behind his back to undermine him and his Presidency
Exactly. It was LBJ who suggested to Kennedy to put a man on the moon before the end of the 1960s. LBJ was the one who genuinely want Americans to explore the Space. He helped to create NASA. He was the Chaiman of the Space Program. Kennedy despite giving the Rice University inspirational speech on the race to the moon, had actually little to no interest in space exploration. He just wanted to beat the Russians
Silvia Almanza he did what Kennedy didn’t get credit for as well
-Escalating Vietnam
-More attacks like Bay of Pigs

JFK would be a republican in today's world of politics. He'd be disgusted at what it's become.
You know Bryan does actually kinda look like LBJ but I can only see him as Heisenberg lol
Oh wow
1) Decolonization of Africa in the 1960s, Caribean crisis, growing discontent of the nations made literally the half of the world Soviet, so the participation of States in Vietnam war was unavoidable as part of the cold war, the thing is that the increase of troops should be stopped at some point, when it was clear that the war can't be won
2) Paid medicine is still an issue in the USA, going to a dentist or just calling an ambulance to deliver you to the hospital can cost you third of the average american salary. Having this as a real problem for all the Americans, some people draw their attention to some extra radical feminists, BLM and LGBT rights, it looks to me as a disguise from real problems to the country
Bro I wish he would stop hanging his mouth wide open when he talked like that like he was extremely confused and his mind was gone when the real lbj obviously didn't talk like that
Both his aids and Senators closed to him believed he was a paranoid psychotic and he'd lost it. He was paranoid bc he knew what he did to both Kennedy brothers.
I just saw one of his campaign ads with Daisy. It was shocking lol. It really showed his intense character.
Everybody criticized him for his handling of the Vietnam War, but besides that, he was a mighty president. He’s even 10 on the official list of greatest presidents. He signed the civil rights act, he did much more, he was great. Stop talking about his handling of the war.
In addition it is also reported that while he was a congressman in the 1930s he helped save the lives of hundreds of European Jewish refugees from the Holocaust by helping them enter Texas via a port at Galveston. If true then this would make LBJ another Righteous Gentile just like Oskar Schindler, Raoul Wallenberg, Irena Sendler, and Meip Gies.
we all know who had to die with help from lbj people do not forget
yawn
Lbj did some good things, but he’s a disgusting man.
That is being extremely polite about him. He plain and simple helped have his President ambushed and murdered to become President.
Supporting civil rights on one hand while putting into motion the mechanisms that created the welfare system. Two-faced.
