The American Presidency: Pivotal Elections - Jon Ward
Americans will go to the polls in a few months to vote in what innumerable commentators are calling a pivotal presidential election, even one of the most consequential in American history. But it’s hardly the first time such claims have been made. Across the last 250 years, many presidential races have featured sharply contrasting agendas, political outlooks, and personal styles, with dire predictions about the nation’s future if one candidate or the other prevailed. How did these races unfold? How did presidential races encapsulate profound cleavages running through the nation? How did the outcomes shape the nation’s future? Looking back at elections from the nation’s past may provide perspective on our own moment.
This six-part virtual series explores these and other questions through lively conversations with eminent historians of American politics and the presidency. Each session will begin with a moderated discussion led by LBJ Library Director Mark Lawrence but will allow ample time for questions from the audience. Over six weeks leading up to President’s Day, we will sweep across American political history by delving into the elections of 1860, 1896, 1948, 1964, 1968, and 1980. We will examine presidents from Abraham Lincoln to Ronald Reagan, exploring the races that elevated them to the Oval Office and the implications of the races they won.
About the speaker:

Paul Gregory has to go along with the lone nut story. Why? Just ask him what he and his father were involved in in 1963. Also, ask him why James Martin or his cohort confronted him about Marina in 1964. This guy is so freakin narcissistic and self righteous and the public doesn’t know the half of it about him. Confirmed liar.
Lady Bird had a college degree in Journalism, so that explains the excellent news hires.
After all these years I didn't think anything new would be added to this story but low and behold here is a whole different way of looking at those events of Novembe 22, 1963 by this man's story. Had his story gotten more publicity in 1963 I'm fairly certain that many people would be looking at the assassination in a different light.
What is Vietnam today? Are the people better off ? Who really lost? I
Vietnam was a beat down,that was given down.
He should know well about lying, he having done so constantly and without the slightest hesitation or regret. Johnson was unfit for the office. He seemed to enjoy playing a type role he thought a President should perform. There was something fundamentally unsound about the man.
Constant propaganda. Make bad presidents good presidents, Good presidents bad presidents. That's what you get with intellectuals Twisted facts Dominated by their opinion.

LBJ was with a lady during this call. Listen carefully
HE WAS A DRUNK AND AMURDERE WOW
Nicole Hemmer, is, in my opinion a joke. She blindly espouses about that which she knows nothing. Today, 6/9/23, at the CNN website, she gave a 'history' of Pat Robertson, upon his passing. Everything about it was slanted and just plain wrong. She does not have a clue about who or what Pat Robertson was. She was not even alive, or maybe was in grade school', when he became popular. She sees him as a televangelist who brought in million of viewers and dollars, which is not what Pat was about. her background indicates solely that she is anti-conservative, which is her right. But she is not an historian. She is a propagandist. And she taught at U of Miami. Which says a lot about her. I am very familiar with U of M, and hiring experts and visionaries is not what UofM is about.
The biggest amount of bullshit in a single speech i have ever heard. Beside Hitler's equal bullshit
Oswald; The mother of all mass shooters. Their profiles are the same, white male, under 25 and mentally challenged. The exceptions prove the rule.
What about the channault papers at the lbj library

Both Truman and LBJ chose "not to seek reelection" (1952 and 1968, respectively).. and they died less than a month apart.
Lee Harvey Oswald was such a loner, starting from early life when his brothers had left home and his mother was working, he was left to his own devices, playing truant, as a young adult he didn’t get along with people, his work colleagues, his mother and even his wife, Marina, whom he would constantly argue with and beat up. He was unhappy with life and couldn’t settle anywhere and wasn’t afraid to let people who stood in his way know.
You are so wrong about Oswald.
@@paulanddianathomas3376 You can’t say somebody is wrong about a subject without supportive evidence, and I can assure you that anything I say about Oswald can be substantiated, my information is from sworn testimony given by official figures and key witnesses. Most people haven’t got a clue about Oswald’s personality, his antisocial behaviour, his attempt to murder General Walker, his wife beating, he utters the words “I’m just a patsy” and people say “poor Oswald has been framed”, well the evidence tells a different story. Whilst in New York as a 13 year old he was remanded in Youth House , a psychiatric observation unit for continued truancy , the chief psychiatrist Dr Renatus Hartogs described him in his testimony as, emotionally disturbed, cold, detached, passive aggressive,withdrawn, anxious, awkward and the product of a broken home, other staff in the home gave similar reports. His wife Marina tells her story of her beatings and bullying from Oswald in her book “Marina and Lee” (pricilla Johnson mcmillan) which is well worth reading, and many friends from the Russian community in the US testified to seeing his bullying and seeing the bruises on her face. His work colleagues even testified that he was a loner and didn’t have 2 words to say, and so anything I say about him is not my opinion it is from the people who knew him , reliable sources, and certainly not from a conspiracy book.
Before there was a North and South Vietnam, there was just Vietnam. Once the fall of South Vietnam happened there was once again just Vietnam.
Yeah abs the south was always gonna fall bc most of them sympathized with the north,of course our military was way more powerful,but you can’t change people beliefs & mindsets that way.even if the north had been completely wiped out the south would’ve fell as soon as we left
What a crock of shit

While there have been 46 Presidencies, there have only been 45 "individuals" to be POTUS---which I am reluctantly including the asterisk to history between the 44th & 46th POTUS.
This from the library of a guy who Divided a young wife and Mother Permanently from her husband. Shameful
If you want political biased reports listen to this. All Trump all evil all the time. Funny how the border was closed the economy was great no wars killing millions
Frank has a lot of interesting things to say, although they'd be better delivered if he'd slow down and deliver them in a less breathless and frantic manner.
Biden and his campaign for the run of U.S. presidency was corrupt by inception. The Hunter Biden laptop information clearly exposes the Bidens in corrupt dealings with foreign countries while Joe Biden was serving his term as Vice President under Obama. These findings were then muddied up by former 3 letter alphabet agency members voicing their OPINIONS as fact stating the laptop recovery and its information inside of it was part of a Russian planted disinformation campaign against Biden. This is clearly a cover up and cleanup operation done by Joe.Biden.and his campaign to fool the voting public and.steer their attention away from the laptop discovery and the details it contained within. Censoring of this subject was then carried out by the social media technocrats who have a secret allegiance and unspoken oath towards the Democrat party.
Enlightening and informative talk. Very interesting! It does leave out one simple analysis of the Kennedy men - they were just irresistibly, fatally glamorous.
Terrific interview. Califano is a wonderful storyteller and a valuable insight into the enigma that was Johnson. I'd like to see Califano and Robert Caro together in an interview - or hear Califano's interpretation of Caro's books. That would really be interesting. Schieffer is a delight as always.
LBJ only 47 years old here
Thank you Lyndon
Just came across this video and really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Sure, there was corruption in the Nixon Administration, but nothing like working with Twitter to suppress a laptop scandal in order to interfere with the 2020 election.
First
He never got the credit he deserved in aiding in the end of the Cold War. Reagan could not have been as successful if Gorbachev had not been the leader of the USSR at the time.
When you lose credibility, you can't get it back. Nobody believed the administration after 1967. So needless...
Very powerful
Probably one of the most important politicians of the second half of the 20th century the man had a wisdom and he was right about Putin
There will come a day when history will stand by Gorbachev as one of the most important personalities of the twentieth century who loved his people and loved humanity. I would not expect small-minded people to comprehend the ideas of this great man until a disaster occurred.
This made me cry, for Jackie and JFK’s aides. 😢
A great man will never forget his setting his people amazing.
This guy's hatred for Trump, is a real disappointment. His book is obviously biased
If you can’t accept any criticism of trump, at all, it’s time to reassess. People are not perfect, people are not gods. EVERYONE has bias. As former director of the Richard Nixon Library, I’d say they have a solid perspective of the issues. And this is the Lyndon B Johnson Library. Johnson was perhaps the definition of the modern democratic party.
@@oscodains You don't have a clue about Johnson if you think he was part of "the modern democratic party". Try reading a book or two.
@@kennypool i’ve read the books and listened to hours of tapes. Today’s party started with LBJ.
@@oscodains Educate yourself and enjoy several great videos by Robert Caro on LBJ. These are absolutely fabulous, Caro knows more about LBJ than anyone on the planet.
@@kennypool Ive read his books.
You have to indicate the date of the conversation, this is common sense
Remember what a bully he was!
So the president didn't watch it till hours later?
❤️❤️❤️😊
Fantastic president.
12:59, The Johnson treatment in full force!
Very soothing voice.
My favourite historian. Her book a Team of Rivals is just overwhelming in its study of Lincoln and his government. An outstanding book.
