In this episode you will get to see how the sausage is made. We feature several phone calls between two of the nation's consummate legislators, Lyndon Johnson, 36th President of the United States (A Democrat) and Representative Gerald Ford, the House Republican Leader. You will get to see some serious wheeling and dealing on the grandest of stages. 

While LBJ had had a long and personally friendly relationship with Republican Senate Leader Senator Everett Dirksen, his relationship with Gerald Ford had been testy at times. Johnson famously had once said "That Gerald Ford had played too many football games without a helmet".  But fate had put them together, during a very tumultuous, and important moment in American History. and just like with Dirksen, Johnson needed Ford's help. In this episode you will hear Johnson ask for it and occasionally apply a lot of that famous mixture of charm and personality to the  Republican House Leader.

So sit back and enjoy the ride as we listen in on Gerald Ford as he works with Lyndon Johnson.
