biden, trump, obama, george w. bush, clinton -- and truman . that's 14.ut the subtitle of your book is 70 years and 13 president. who was left out? mr. charter: obviously he is part of american history, but sadly, not one that the queen met while he was sitting president. lbj. there are reasons for this, which i go into in the book. there are accidental, if you like, reasons that when jfk was assassinated, she was planning -- she would have liked to have gone to the funeral. she could not go pretty her doctors prevented her because she was too heavily pregnant at the time. when churchill died a couple of years later, lbj wanted to come but he got sick during his inauguration in january 1965. and his doctors prevented him from traveling to the u.k.. so if it were not for those unfortunate accidents of history, they would have met. but what happened of course was that lbj's full term became completely overwhelmed with vietnam and he was angry with the british under their prime minister who would not commit troops to vietnam. and he basically had little time

and of course george w. bush can hear her. then he pipes up, well, maybe. the black sheep in your family? so begins the banter between the bush family and the royals. it developed in a friendly way. i think the fact that george w. bush refers to it in those familiar terms, a look a mother with only give a child, reflects how there was a family, almost, connection between the royal couple, between the queen and that bush family, partly because of the history. and just partly because they clicked. they got each other. peter: the cover photo on your book, "royal audience," where was that taken? mr. charter: one thing i would say is that -- one thing i would say is that the two most famous photographs of the queen with an american president is both with ronald reagan. there is the horse ride we talked about in 1982, and on the follow-up visit reagan wants the queen to come to california to see his place and to do return horse rides with his own horses. now, unfortunately, it rains and rains and rains, and the horse right has to be called off. but they still hav

george w h.w. bush. one knew he had a political objective and that was simply to get saddam out of kuwait. he was criticized, as was colin powell, as you remember bitterly, that we had saddam on the run, choke him by the throat, go into baghdad and. they said, if we go into baghdad, we'll own it. that was not part of the un resolution. it was part of the international coalition. on the other hand, bush, too, had a much more accepting of political goal to make iraq into democracy. now, as chad has pointed out, they do have free elections now, but the cost was ghastly in order to get there because we really didn't understand the internal and dynamics of of iran. great. ambassador neumann, we were discussing in the green room that you're career started as a soldier in ended as a diplomat as featured in the book in the chapters on on iraq and afghanistan. from your experience, what are the lessons learned of what makes successful diplomacy and where does it fail and how might you apply those lessons to where

bush, but this is where we are right now when you are looking to george w.with him. he also talked about the nativism. the isolationism seeping into american politics and here we are. this is a completely different republican party than that of just a generation ago. >> right. you had republicans at one point. that was really pushing for comprehensive immigration reform. and that party has transformed into a party telling us very clearly that they want the largest mass deportation in american history. >> if he could carry this out, over 80% of those 11 million people have been in this country over ten years. there are 10 million american citizens that live with undocumented immigrants so we need to paint that picture. because it will be traumatic. >> let me read for you jack herrera, reporter of the la times. posted a tweet on thursday night that said he spoke to an undocumented immigrant who has worked mobile homes, water tanks and he and his colleagues are scared of trump's threats of mass deportation. they are plans ongoing straight to work from home and

let's speak to anneke green, a former george w bush speech writer and director at the white house writersid you make of the speech? i actually at reach global strategies now, my own firm. he started off on script and then he went into rally mode because i think he couldn't help himself at the beginning he was introspective, emotional and explicit by saying that god was on my side and i've not heard him reference faith so explicitly before. he said i stand before you only by the grace of god and i was very curious about that, knowing that there is, in the past when he was president, there was some tension between evangelic christians are supporting president trump, contrasting with his very publicised lifestyle and the departure from christian values and those ways so it seems that he's had a real reckoning through this experience that he's gone through and but towards the end of the speech, even though he was off script, and that's probably why it went so long, he was recounting his accomplishments while he was in office and i think the crowd stuck with him, the energy stayed high even if

the only w way to permanently dl is to have legislation. it's been elusive since george w.e elusive even if president trump is reelected. speaking to my sources and other officials, the focus is about crime, and certainly highlighting it hre on stage tonight, but it is also about economics, and the main voter, both campaigns are competing foe working voter and places like ohio, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, where immigration is a real concern as well. >> norah: those are the so-called blue wall that president biden believes he must win in order to win reelection. let's listen in now to the morin family that i described earlier who has been affected by crime. >> where we pushed our babies in strollers, where we walked together as a family, where my wife and i got married, near what would later become the spot where my sisters bod was found. rachel, a joyful accomplished athlete and mother of five was raped and murdered by a suspected illegal immigrant. this was described as among the most brutal and violent offenses that has ever occurred in hartford county maryland his

>> george w. bush, cheney -- >> that is trump's party.aditional republicans are familiar with. that party has now completely, fundamentally transformed into trump's party. >> the anti-de i party. anyone surprised that they were fear mongering when there was a little bit of diversity on the stage. >> was great to have you with us throughout the night. thank you so much. and thank you at home. come back tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. eastern. congressman mark paul campbell joined us to explain why he is joining the list of members of congress calling and president biden to pass the torch. until then, i am ayman mohyeldin. have a good night. din. have a good night. and lost to time... can now be analyzed and restored using the power of dell ai. preserving memories and helping to write new ones. ♪ every day, more dog people, and more vets are deciding it's time for a fresh approach to pet food. they're quitting the kibble. and kicking the cans. and feeding their dogs dog food that's actually well, food. developed with vets. made from real meat and veg

going back to the rally, you have been a speech writer for george w bush.dy behind them, these rallies have core supporters who will lap up whatever is said, but presumably they are trying to reach a broader audience, what would you advise him to put in their speech? i wouldn't say rally to focus on broader appeal, they are about mobilising bases. that strategy was pursued in the 2004 election, cole rovers was given a lot of credit for that architecture and encouragement for people to go out and vote and may be see their friends. that is why you went to the watering down of the messages. they are energising the people already supporting them and if that broadens, that is great, but that is more likely to come from biden looking weak than any rally. the typical american voters will have heard more from the convention than any rally going forward. thank you very much indeed, anneke green. we had a response from the israeli prime minister: the port attacked in yemen is not an innocent port and it is for military purposes. netanyahu said: israel attacked a port

for my entire career that started in the campaign with george w.h, the paradigm in the republican party has been high turnout helps democrats. in this it is the opposite. throughout everything you thought you knew about trout. low turnout helps biden. look at why democrats are winning. midterms and special elections because the highest propensity voters tend to be democrats now. people with college degrees, seniors, and the manager lowest tend to be republicans. if you have a high turnout it will likely mean trump was able to successfully bring out a bunch of infrequent voters and registered a bunch of new people and change the composition of the electorate can they build an infrastructure that drives turnout as high as possible because if they do they will win. within the parties respective parties on foreign policy on the last national emergency spending package there were some serious splits between republicans on aid to ukraine and a number of other related issues. you had the establishment of long serving republicans like mitch mcconnell leadi

i mean, it amazed me in a republican primary coming up just 8 years after george w bush was president. he came out against the iraq war and one in and prevail, which showed that really the republican party had a huge appetite for america for a sort of like pat buchanan as i'm back in the old days. and it still does in, and that's also forgot that it was trump who negotiated with the telephone after 20 years of this war that we were never going to win and or, and arrange for the withdrawal. fighting didn't do a good job to say the least with the execution. but the idea that we need it to be out of there i've been ask you understand a bunch of times that was definitely the right move. yeah. to see me like it's almost the same thing, repeating itself. he's right with the ukraine. most americans are scratching their heads and trying to figure out what the hell are we doing there, and why are we there? and then of a couple of them are lucky enough to go on youtube and you know, watch ukraine burning or, or watch the show or watching a couple of other things and alternative media. and they

oh, well, i mean, you had a bite and was a bit like a, you know, george w bush when it a civil side legal invasion or if we walk in in 2003, there's a real kind of sense of unfinished business, you know, put george w bush, you know, back in 2003 and by and when he came to pass for me is really old by this, this really deep seated reading. the them got positive being cheated. see, i have from the election victory back in 2016 way over is gonna have time maybe when you're there. and so if it is by the russian intelligence as always, kind of things that they were complaining about. and so the thing that they much kind of, uh, brought into his world view when he came to power and he bolt back in the hole to the toy need. and so it takes a is so booms and it'd be blood. i had been in the wilderness under the of the drum and it's just a complete but 10 to the can available is us policy that had been placing it since and stuff the grain quite so said everything that he did. did you know when he came to power? i said, well, you know, i was going to finish business do with the washer. i don't like

w.p, when he first defeated the deepstate, the deep state, apparently perceived it as some kind of absurdity, some kind of emergency, an extraordinary circumstance, that someone was trying to question this line of global hegemony, to return to paleoconservative ideas, traditional, by the way. for american society, but which everyone in the elite has simply forgotten about, at least this outcast, this rogue, this orevist, upstart trump, held on during his term and did not start a single presidential war, and despite terrible pressure, persecution, accusations, lawsuits, demonization, calling him a fascist, nazis, with the last words for 4 years, plus lawsuits, plus legal claims, he... survived, made it to this debate, in comparison biden simply gave up , fell apart into dust. in my opinion, this is the most important signal to the deep american elites. trump is a trend. trump is not an accident. trump is one of the opportunities for the development of american politics, to which we need t

i mentioned those statements from george w bush, targeted by an attacker in tbilisi in georgia in 2005the white house was subjected to gunfire back in 1994 when he was president. and so, i think these messages of wanting to try to contain the situation, given the bitter, bitter divisions in this country, particularly over the last 4— eight years. what we've seen during this presidential campaign is things becoming increasingly fractious and febrile. the democratic campaign in crisis and now this particular moment and i think there is no surprise that we are seeing across the bipartisanly divide now a lot of calls, as i said before copy you can always copy and paste a lot of these messages, saying there is absolutely no place for political violence in america but, you know, whether or not there is the ability to sort of contain this now, i think, is another question and people, as we've heard from the eyewitnesses that gary spoke to, that moment where we heard from one of those who was at the rally, the fear and anxiety in their voice about this sort of sense of an uncontrolled situatio

w. a former president was shot. an american citizen was killed while simply exercising his freedom to support the candidate of his choosing. we cannot and must not go down this road in america. >> an american citizen was killed yesterday while supporting the candidate of his choosing. tonight our thoughts are with his family. i do want to bring into our conversation are retired special agent and also an msnbc terrorism analyst and the pulitzer prize-winning reporter for the new york times. where do things stand in the investigation? >> what is interesting is we have a few things we know and those things we don't. number one the shooter was 20 years old and we do know that he was somebody who didn't seem to have any signs so far of somebody who makes threats online and not a typical thing that we look for in a shooter and he wasn't making threats and he's not tied to any ideology and they say they are still trying to get into his phone and they are hoping some type of communications would

the former assistant secretary of state for president george w. bush. what is at stake in your mind for the president? he will be scrutinized, one thing for the press corps to do it. this is all the global leaders in a couple no one's. obviously it means every move he takes is seen through that prism. is he up to the job of leading the world? that's a lot of pressure. >> you have two things going on. one is showcasing biden and trying to resuscitate and nato leaders will try to help him resuscitate himself. we will see if he can do that. the bigger issue is what is going on behind the scenes that is substantive and realism is something in the heart of hearts all these members have to be thinking about. as you reported, 23 of 32 members paid their 2%, up from three in 2014 but the bigger reality is the united states put 52 billion, $60 billion on the deal for ukraine. on average, the rest of the other 31 members put one. 7 billion and as we put 52 billion on the table for that, 17 million for their border. neil: with attention back on the president and h

this is the same thing. reagan, bush, george, w, bush bush. that's what i don't. clinton bush, that's basically not true. the american people are spending $1.00 trillion dollars . that's real military budget. by the way, it's about 900000000 in the defense department. but heading in the budget is another $600000000000.00 is going for the manufacturer of a weapon systems and the the maintenance of the us military industrial complex. that's good for wall street. that's good for the banks. that's good for american capital. not really a great benefit to the american working people. yeah, because bible is continuing to repeats these talking points of. he's a friend of the unions. how you might have to remind us of what, what he did in acting legislation against the railway transport workers to stop a nation wide rail strike. i mean by that is not pro you can give, this is a, a no is not pro union at all. i mean, he's slightly less able then the trump national labor relations board, but he's not pro union, as you mentioned that, that uh anti union l

i had as much important favorable contributory things with george h.w. bush and george w.. there was no difference in how i interacted with the bushes than i interacted with obama and that i interacted with clinton. so anybody that tries to create that narrative that i was somehow trying to undermine trump because of any political ideology is nonsense. >> and finally, hiv/aids, your journey through that, it is an extraordinary part of the book, it is how you welcomed the protesters against you from the aids community. and sat down with them and they -- larry cramer and others became very good friends. >> they did. and they pushed back on some of the established things, the mostly young gay activists, but what they were trying to do was good things, you know. i think about it, and i describe it, you know, the iconic civil rights leader john lewis who said they made trouble in the civil rights movement, but they made good trouble. and the aids activist back then in the '80s, mid'80s, early '90s were making good trouble because they were trying to get us to appreciate things

this is the same thing. reagan, bush, george, w, bush bush. that's what go clinton bush. that's basically not true. the american people are spending $1.00 trillion dollars. that's real military budget. by the way, it's about 900000000 in the defense department. but heading and the budget is another $600000000000.00 is going for the manufacturer of a weapon systems and the the maintenance of the us military industrial complex. that's good for wall street. that's good for the banks. that's good for american capital. not really a great benefit to the american working people. yeah, because bible is continuing to repeats these talking points of. he's a friend of the unions. how you might have to remind us of what, what he did in acting legislation against the railway transport workers to stop a nation wide rail strike. i mean by that is not pro you can view, this is a, a no, it's not pro union at all. i mean, he's slightly less able then the trump national labor relations board, but he's not pro union, as you mentioned that, that uh anti union legislation wasn't enacted by buy

and the bar for that is not extremely high because i'm 36, so i remember when george w.ush was first elected, and i'm feeling a lot of bush-ism being what is defining this current conversation around biden's fitness, which it was always on the line when people were critiquing bush's credibility as president for the job, but i think the question of whether or not, in president biden's case, they are coming from cognitive issue is very stressful to me personally because something that did not come up last night is that we are still reeling from a major public health issue. host: he was asked yesterday whether he would take another cognitive test. do you think you should and release that to the public? caller: well, i don't have a problem with that. i will say that i recently took a neurological test. again, i made 36-year-old female and very fine mental and physical health, so i cannot imagine biden's neurological test will measure up to mine. so i don't know what that will prove or produce. host: on our independent line, mike, florida. good morning. you are next. what did
