LBJ: The 36th President of the United States

- Growing up in the beautiful but rugged Texas Hill Country helped form the man and the politician Lyndon Johnson would become. He learned about hard economic times, the value of education, and got his first taste of politics. In this biographical video, you will learn about the Johnson family, the political journey of LBJ, and his whirlwind romance with Claudia Alta "Lady Bird" Taylor.
As President, LBJ championed education, civil rights, the environment, the space program, and social programs -- all while grappling with an escalating war in Vietnam. In 1968, LBJ decided not to run for re-election, retiring to Texas. Lyndon Johnson died in 1973, two years after the opening of the LBJ Library.
At some point in the 60's, they began serving hot breakfast in elementary schools in America. I remember being so grateful for that because there was no food at home. That simple act of providing warm oatmeal and toast to small children is something I will never forget.
Yep classic lbj !
I am a huge Kennedy fan but I had no idea LBJ passed most of the government assistance acts we have today. Thx for the enlightenment
He wasn't perfect and made some mistakes but overall ,Kennedy was good , but Johnson was better, he was a great president and some have given Kennedy credit for Johnson's accomplishments. Maybe Kennedy would of done more, for our country, if he wasn't murdered, but it was Lyndon B Johnson who accomplished so much and was a great president , what didn't he do ? He did everything, he's the reason we have so many good things today in the country, that the garbage Rinos, today's GOP, who are a disgrace to the Party of Lincoln, are trying to strip away, things that are taken for granted. I really think it should be LBJ airport or Blvd and monuments, over Kennedy's, who again was good, but it was Johnson who deserved more of the praise and honor.
LBJ was a cold blooded killer
lbj may or may not have done good but he did to have kennedy to get there?
Freewheeling Frere
LBJ along with his friends had JFK removed
☝🏾 All True Statements!! Lol...What a complex man! Robert Caro has the best biography series on LBJ!!
LBJ is one of my favorite presidents
his good work and accomplishments still helps me and my family today everyday
thank you LBJ
How does it help you and your family
@@rajeshwarshukla5528 probably government assistance. ( not hating )
@@rajeshwarshukla5528 we have used food stamps
And I myself have been a client of department of rehabilitation
So in many ways the good work of lyndon johnson is still helping My family today
Thank you lyndon johnson
@@rajeshwarshukla5528 also head start
Many good programs pushed by lyndon johnson remaining today are still helping many people I know
Like every president he made mistakes and I'm sure was dated with some view points, but overall , whatever he was, he did support Civil Rights and did so much good , Lyndon B Johnson, was one of our greatest presidents ever, second to no one, my grandmother had a large portrait of him in her house and waxed poetic about the good that this man, however flawed, did,he was a tremendous Public Servant and should be a model to today's politicians, credit should be given, to where credit is due .
yeah...if you prefer jealous, killer, racist presidents....the he was awesome :(😠
Appreciate all the good you did President Johnson. I appreciate the LBJ library for allowing the trolls to have free speech. Please keep the videos coming.
He proudly announces the Gulf of Tonkin "incident" and there you see what he's all about.
Yes, the spread of communism. Fighting communism. The Truman doctrine.
I am a huge fan of Lyndon B. Jonshon after Abraham Lincoln, he works so hard than any other president. LBJ should have been nominee from the Democrat in 1960 rather than JF Kennedy. Well JF Kenedy gained popularity due to media, youthful, and father's money (I Like JF Kennedy) but LBJ knows the government and congress much more than anyone at that time. US universities became popular and influential due to his legislature. Indeed he passed most bills than any other president in the US histrory.
The posters" Kennedy wanted for treason" handed out in dallas on 11/22/63 were a declaration that a treasonous act had been committed and they delivered the punishment for treason, outside the courthouse at noon by firing squad... and Texas in those days was known for being the last place to stay under the old penal system and it was probably completely Legal what they did that day and probably changed the laws right after while they were busy with the Warren commission report... you want to understand what is so hard for the people to know or understand that it has to be kept secret for 75 years..is that everything they did that day to Kennedy was certified by the highest echelons of power and completely Legal especially under laws pertaining to treason at the time and their defense and defendants were the people who died in the Bay of pigs fiasco and he probably went with his heart instead of what was standard protocol for providing air support for the troops and then he pulled out at the last minute when it was too late to save lives of the troops but not too late to save the lives of the many that would have been lost in the war that the generals and military weapons manufacturing companies had cooked up in the next round..but these documents will be made public and will join the many truths about the country that have become part of a not so perfect history
I wonder if he did back room deals with cloths guns and machines that were used in vietnam
While I was 4.5 years old when JFK was inaugurated, it is Lyndon Johnson who I have the really strong memories of as my first President.
I urge everyone to read the books on him, three and counting, by Robert Caro.
lbj is my first president, too
also lbj is one of my favorite presidents
his good work still helps me and my family today
To be honest I always think Johnson suffers to much to posterity because of comparisons to Kennedy. But I never know why, because Kennedy was actually more of a war monger than Lyndon (see his handling of Cuban missile crisis) and was the first president to authorise large scale military presence in Vietnam. In fact, Johnson carried on the policy and committed more troops because he viewed it as doing what Kennedy would have done. Which I think he would, had he not been assassinated. I also don't think Kennedy would have done half the big societal changes and 'war on poverty' that Johnson did. But I do agree, Vietnam is a big elephant in the room on his time as president.
BelatedCommiseration kennedy was killed by the military industrial complex,he was bringing the advisers home.the day after johnson had kennedy killed he reversed it.if kennedy had lived there would be no vietnam.during the cuba missille problems,everybody was pushing for war,kennedy was not.johnson would have started ww3.
John F. Kennedy i agree with you
You are right, Kennedy was good, but Johnson was great , it was he that should of gotten the praise, the naming of airports, Blvd's and monuments before JFK, who I don't think would of been any better, perhaps his brother the great Edward Kennedy, would've deserved more praise, they should rectify that and give credit to where credit is due.
Lyndon Johnson was way ahead of his time. Now that we face a global economy, we need a Great Society to compete. Back then, the only things we imported were bananas, tea, and coffee! We cannot compete with a shrinking middle class, thanks to Reaganomics, in which so many of our citizens face severe underemployment (like me) in McJobs!
Reagan’s economic policies actually created the largest expansion of the economy in United States history. Also the middle class didn’t shrink, sure the gap between the middle and higher classes got wider but everyone was better off over all
@@warrenrhinerson6373 correct.
@@warrenrhinerson6373 True. Well the truth is the middle class is shrinking now, and its easy to blame Reaganomics for this. But before Reagan, everyone was going down.
Its sad but we keep voting for Obama type liberals who would love nothing more than a single society, consumer based and communist controlled freedom. We got to continue to vote for real people willing to do what we elect them for, trump 2024.
But, I thought Reaganomics was tightening the financial belt, lower taxes, do more with less, stop over spending, balance that budget, and increase production.
Am I wrong?
I'm sorry at the end of it all the only thing you got out of it was a McJob.
LBJ is awesome!!!
He didn't want Veitnam War at all. Not only did he think it was an important think to do, so did U.S. Citezins because of communism.
"All the way with LBJ" best president ever.
LBJ is living proof that hubris ends badly in real life as well as Greek tragedy. Did he have a genuine concern for the less fortunate? Probably, but it was coupled with a Texas-sized ego which said that federal programs could cure all ills. And yet many of these programs backfired badly in terms of seeing black illegitamacy rates skyrocket after having been low throughout Reconstruction and Jim Crow. Who needed a father to provide for children when the government would do it for you? Telling any people group in any color wrapper that someone else is responsible for your actions, and that you can get sympathy and all your needs met by claiming victimhood is a poison that corrodes initiative, responsibility, and self-respect. Vietnam? Another example of LBJ's hubris. He believed that he and RS McNamara could micro-manage the war from a cozy briefing room in DC. "Them boys cain't bomb as outhouse over there without I say so." End result: A betrayal of the US servicemen who fought and died there, as well as a betrayal of the SE Asians who were ultimately left at the mercy of the victorious communists, who in turn celebrated their victory by slaughtering SE Asians by the millions. "Best president ever?" Stuff and nonsense.
Ever heard of Gulf of Tonkin?
The Vietnam war , should not of gone down , that was just the dated thinking of all the politicians of the time, who were fervent, with their anti communist stance,. But are you kidding , you are very right, Lyons B Johnson, was one of our greatest presidents ever , Kennedy was good, but Johnson should of had airports, Blvd's. named after him and monuments, more than he.
Simon , you seem content in your ignorance of the real sinister LBJ
The more you read up on him, the less you like.
when i go for dinner with my vietnamese friends tonight, i will explain that we were all mistaken and that LBJ was a sweet. loving man. i am sure that they will believe me.
I am Vietnamese American, and I believe that President Johnson is one of the greatest presidents in American history. No one man has down more than President Johnson to eliminate the social inequality and racial disparities in America.
vietkieu mostly lost sympathy for their own people. i suppose the people of indo-china were all equal under the B52's. check out the covering-up of kennedy's assassination and tell me that lbj is one of the greatest presidents.
That war wasnt about individuals. It was about the Truman doctrine to halt the spread of Communism.
@algini
individuals still play a part. kennedy wanted less war; the people who killed him wanted more.
Really Frere? JFK was the one who sent the advisers into Vietnam. When asked later, (and you can find it on video), Bobby Kennedy was asked if his brother would have pulled out. Bobby replied with an emphatic no. And because he didnt want nukes in Cuba, Kennedy pushed us to the brink of World War 3 in confronting the Russians. Kennedy also disastrously invaded Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. For someone who wanted less war, Kennedy sure was good at precipitating them.
i do not and cannot explain how good it makes us feel when u see a person becoming a president.....that itself is an achievement .
. democracy is just a good idea...thats all it ever has been.
wow. that was moving.
21:56: im an Australian so i have no stake in this but why on earth is "God Save The Queen/King" (Englands National Anthem) playing in a documentary about an American President.
"America(My Country, Tis of Thee)" is old an American patriotic song that uses the same melody as UK's natl anthem, "God Save the Queen."
This is the version more familiar to Americans. I remember hearing England's national anthem at the Olympics & thought to myself.. "Why are they playing My 'Tis of Thee?!" I thought the sound man was trolling haha
LBJ:37TH VPOTUS, 36th POTUS
Richard Nixon:36th VPOTUS, 37TH POTUS
LBJ: Precedeed By Richard Nixon as VPOTUS, yet
Succeedeed By Richard Nixon as POTUS
Almost Alike Benjamin Harrison(23rd Prez of USA) and Grover Cleveland(22nd&24th POTUS) History Game
Greatest modern President since FDR.
Yeah . . . The Johnson treatment. I’ve just listened to the recordings of his phone calls to Jackie Kennedy during the couple of weeks that she stayed on at the White House after the murder of her husband. Take a listen, the guy was a creep. “Come on over Jackie, you can put your arms around me”
They say (in personal documention) he drank at least a 1/5th of scotch (cutty sark) a day even B4 he was Prez.. Wow!!!!
That's not a fair comparison for President Obama. LBJ had far more experience in Congress and had a real talent when it came to politics. He was truly one of a kind. President is Obama is doing the best he can for the American people and is doing a fine job on the road to recovery.
guys I've been drafted
"Awesome duties of this office" Lol. Legendary President of the '60s. Kennedy would've done better though JMO.
Lyndon B Johnson or Buck Strickland???
LBJ was known for having a backbone, something Obama doesn't have and what we need in the White House.
Say what you will but I think he was a great president. I was only yrs old in Nov 63 and a Canadian so I only know what I know through the history pages. It was not always favorable,but I formed my opinion and stick by it. So for now I'm going to have a Cutty Sark and watch some more You Tube !
What are those things on the sides of his head??
This ain't LeBron James
What times
Psychopath Skunk
Ya it's too he killed JFK
Roger Stone say's Johnson killed JFK.Also says Trump isn't a terrorist. So take what he says with a 5th of salt!!!
No he didn't.
Hated. Lol
Lbj after interviewing james warjac a girl friend she told us she played poker with lbj on the king ranch while warjac was in the nueces county jail. Good man he was oh by the way yes wRjac was mafia
Will you stop moving the camera toward still photographs so that we cannot see the whole photograph. It is the stupidist thing in the world for you to do;it accomplishes nothing. Why don't you just show the viewer a still photo so that the viewer is permitted to see it? It would be one thing if there were 100 people in a photo and you wanted to show just one of the people. But you do it when it is much more interesting to see Johnson with the other people in the photo, than it is to see only him. And you think it's very artistic to move the camera toward the photo, when it's just stupid.
Under his presidency 36 000 of the 58 000 American troops died in Vietnam. It was his idea to go into Vietnam. He wasnt even president when Armstrong landed on the moon . Of all the presidents in the last 60 years he has to have been the biggest failure.
As your 2 daughters have gotten married and had families I wonder about all those young men who gave their lives for a president who should have remained working in Youth Administration and out of politics.
The circle is very big and it will always turns - and because of the suffering you caused - not just on your own people but also the Vietnamese people ( 1 000 000 dead ) will be visited on your bloodline in generations to come.
It wasnt about death. All wars are hell. This war was about stopping the spread of communism. Kennedy started it with advisers, but there is no speculation as to what Kennedy would have done as far as escalation. The Truman doctrine holds here, to fight communism, such as in Korea. It really is that simple
bush and Reagan were failures, but trump is worse.
Back in days when AMERICA POLITICS HAVE DECENCY
he was socialist
I know this comment is two years old but that's the dumbest take I've ever heard. His greatest failure is the sending of U.S. troops to die against the communist Vietnamese and to prevent the spread of communism in Asia and you think he's a socialist?
