I absolutely LOVE when you take the time to do an in depth interview with these LIONS of REAL journalism. It's just such a treat. I wanted to be one of them, so bad as a teenager.

Thanks, Amy, great program as always. I remember LBJ. I was in my freshman year in college when Pres.Jack Kennedy was assassinated. I can still remember that this dignified professor had tears in her eyes when she told us that Pres Kennedy was shot!. No one could say a word, we simply left, went home to our families. This country was in shock - how could this happen in America? Whatever has been said about Lyndon Johnson, he pulled the people together. Perhaps he wasn't always a perfect man but he was a strong leader. His strength healed this nation. - I doubt if many men could have stepped up the way he did - we could have had anarchy instead we had community. God bless his soul.

Sandy Beautiful post Sandy. I remember the day of the JFK assassination.. I was in High School and it was shocking but it was the subsequent assassinations - his brother and esp. MLK. Lyndon Johnson is my favorite modern day president. He was really the president who got a lot done for the good. He was saddled with the Vietnam war which he inherited but he also did so much good for so many people.

@@Queenie-the-genie I lived through that era....Johnson may have been perceived as being strong--but when it came to VietNam, he could not bring himself to step outside of the political arena, and pull out our troops...so 50,000 soldiers died, along with perhaps five times as many Vietnamese civilians.....I give him an "A" for his social programs, and an "E" for letting his pride get in the way of doing the right thing....our current president, Biden, at least had the courage to pull our troops out of an unwinnable situation in the Middle East...He did not mind jumping out of the "saddle" to do the right thing. Johnson was a massive, pushy egomaniac, who had no real regard for anyone who disagreed with him.

Well, he also was a murderer who got the presidency he was obsessed with acquiring, also. You make him sound like a hero? He wasn’t!

What an appalling human being this Robert Moses seems to have been! The built environment is one of the ways the most harm can be inflicted on people, because buildings, roads, bridges and railways endure for decades, if not centuries, trapping people in squalor, isolation, ugliness, congestion, pollution and even racial discrimination, in the example of Moses' use of low bridges and narrow roads to prevent public transport access to nice places. It's precisely the arena in which there is the greatest need for moral and humane design, not for racists and crooks to run amock as they do, including the Trump family, of course.

A lot of anti semitism and conspiracy theories on this channel. I’m surprised these sorts of right wing radical conspiracy wackos are so attracted to a show like Democracy Now! Go on back to Alex Jones and Qanon.
