Met him when I was about 6 years old. He was running to become the Vice President. One distinct memory, my Dad was taller than most men in our town, but LBJ, with his big white hat, towered over my Dad. He got down on his haunches and looked me right in the eye and shook my hand.
-
Because of LBJ's war (Vietnam) my dad was killed less than a year after I was born in Vietnam. I will never forget LBJ escalating the war and sending thousands of young men to their deaths one of which was my father.
-
LBJ lived 10 more days, Walter Cronkite lived over 35 more years.
-
64 years old there…….still smoking and died from his third heart attack. Can’t imagine the weight on his shoulders and what he carried even until the end of his life. Great interview and of course Walter Cronkite. 👍
-
Opening theme performed by four 6th grade trumpet players. Thanks for giving the kids a chance.
-
At 64 he looked like he was 84, and probably felt like 104.
-
Being president really does age you… he’s 64 here - if you would have said he was 75, I would have believed you.
-
LBJ was worth $500 million at the time of his death (1973 dollars) .Politics really pays well.
-
This interview happened when Joe Biden was in the US Senate XD
-
I love the distortion that an old tape recording gives to the music LOL
-
Tthank you for posting this interview on YouTube!
-
Watching him speak was like listening to my grandfather talk to me back in the 60’s and 70’s. 😊
-
LBJ looks 76, but it’s wild he passed at 64
-
Thanks for showing this historic footage. He seemed in good health for someone who passed away 10 days after this interview.
-
Didn't this guy used to sit on his toilet with the door open, and give orders to his staff?
-
18:31 "We hit while the iron was hot" profound statement that we need to remember to help get things done.
-
"Hey, what should the intro music be?" "Well, how about I just throw the brass section down the garbage disposal? That'd sound good, yeah?"
-
the trumpet music is the top10 funniest things Ive ever heard in my life, its perfect comedy.
-
He was wrong on the Vietnam war. But in terms of getting legislation passed, including the civil rights acts. He was the most successful president since Roosevelt, and arguably more successful than Roosevelt. Of course the Vietnam war was a massive blot on his time in office.
