tv   Hannity  FOX News  March 3, 2017 7:00pm-8:01pm PST

7:00 pm
. that is it for us tonight. tune in every night to the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, smugness, pomposity, groupthink and pointless cold wars. tune into "hannity," next. >> sean: welcome to "hannity," we are broadcasting from the george w. bush center in texas, the full hour, our 43rd president will join us. we will also be joined by the heroes featured in his book, "portraits of courage." mr. president, how are you? >> good to be back with you. >> sean: i've gone through part of your museum. i am stunned, shocked, i do not know how to describe it. you've only been painting for five years. less than five.
7:01 pm
how did you pick it up? >> i was a little antsy. when you are the president, your dance card is full. all of a sudden you are not the president. i spent a lot of time here at the bush center with laura, to make a difference in people's lives. i wrote to codebooks. i'm staying fit. i mountain biking. an elliptical. i play a fair amount of golf. but it wasn't enough and so i read winston churchill's essay painting as a pastime. >> sean: you started painting pets. >> i did, i did bob the cat. i was a pet portrait painter. which is kind of hard to say. >> sean: [laughs] yeah. >> did the good thing about painting pets is they really don't react when you see there painting. >> sean: so they can't say it's good or bad. >> yeah, but the owner can.
7:02 pm
my first instructor at smu came and said you ought to paint the leaders of whom you serve. and i did. we had an exhibition here. we got putin, blair, the dalai lama. angela merkel. they were okay paintings but the most important part of it once i got to know them so well that i felt comfortable painting them. we had a personal diplomacy visit here which i think it's really important in life. and i know it's important for a president to get to know leaders from other countries. i had to go new instructors. one is a young guy, he paints really fine portraits. he said you ought to paint people nobody knows. and it just dawned on me, boom. warriors i had gotten to know. i painted all these warriors. i know their stories. i have writ and mountain bikes them.
7:03 pm
i admire them greatly. >> sean: some some 60 odd pains here. >> on the montage there are another 30 of them. about 98 warriors in the air. >> sean: how long would it take you to paint one person? i saw all the pictures of them. i know in the book you call yourself a novice, this is not the work of a novice. >> i think it is, but thank you. that is flattering. just depends until you finish. that's one of the interesting questions for any artist, one are you through? i would go upstairs and be painting my low and a look at berries painting and say i better paint him more. it was a process. even when i look at him now. i kind of wish i had my paint and touch up a few things. >> sean: you are never satisfied, perhaps?
7:04 pm
i've known you a lot of years, 9/11 happened nine months into your presidency. you were a war presidency. i look back at the last two major conflicts in america, vietnam, we lost 58,000 people. we did not finish the job. we left. i look at iraq and afghanistan and here, many of these people that you are drawing, they won muscle, iraq. baghdad. i thought it was the right decision. i still believe it was. but it not the right decision if washington politicized at that. does that frustrate you? because it frustrates me. >> yeah, if i stayed to me. and i think what people have to realize is thugs can be defeated.
7:05 pm
we did so, the president's new national security advisor with a part of that philosophy of how to win the hearts and minds of local populations which is necessary for victory. and we can win back again. you can hear both presidents after my time saying we are going to degrade and defeat isis and i say come and go get them. they can be degraded and defeated. it's very important in my mind that we do so-so that people know they can rely upon us and the people not only governments but people on the ground -- people who want to be free. you ask some of these troops, were you able to see human deprivation and improvement? and they say yes. a lot of them say to me i love the idea that girls are being able to go to school for the first time in afghanistan or young kids in iraq are no longer subjected to the thuggery of the
7:06 pm
ideological thugs. >> sean: you warned that if we pulled out precipitously, i played this on my show many times, unfortunately you 100% accurate. >> i'm not surprised. we are in it, in terms of defeating isis or al qaeda, whoever you want to call them. they murder they in innocent that honors those who heard the call and volunteered and rebuil were willing to risk their live lives. but to advance liberty. >> sean: two things about you which people may not know, passion for the military, you used to always sneak over to walter reed, you never wanted
7:07 pm
any cameras or for people to know. you did that a lot. >> i did. >> sean: i was on the campaign with you in 2004 in jacksonville, florida. it was at a big stadium where the jaguars play. you flew air force one right over. >> a little bit of a show off. >> sean: when you got there, you got out of your car, went in a private room, other gold star families in there. and i remember because i saw it -- you came out of the room and it was obvious you had been crying. >> yeah, i am kind of a crier. when a mom hugs me and talks about her son, it affected me. on the other hand, this is hard for many people to understand
7:08 pm
but when you go to walter reed and a soldier looks at you and he has lost his leg, he says i'd do it again. or you ride mountain bikes with troops, some of whom have gone back into the combat after losing a leg. or a mother saying my son died doing what he wanted to do. it lifts your spirits. >> sean: amazing. >> it is amazing. hopefully my art is able to capture how amazing these people are. >> sean: it was that passion, it is not easy being a wartime president. you have to make tough decisions. it's because you have to put people in harm's way. >> sean: let me ask you about the art process. you start with the apple and the watermelon then you went to the pets. then landscape. then you evolved and evolved and evolved. it is less than five years and throughout this room, we will be showing these throughout the
7:09 pm
program, this is pretty sophisticated work. how many hours to work a day in the studio? >> some days more than other. including the vets, i am promoting this here. maybe three or four hours. in my man cave. [laughter] >> sean: laura said that. >> i would paint a lot. even when i was not painting, i was living with these paintings because i would hang out with bob the cat and look at the paintings. i would think about the individuals involved. i studied every one of their stories ahead of time. >> sean: they are all living. you give a story to each person you paint. were you as angry as a lot of americans were when you heard about all the corruption at the va? two sets of lists -- go >> i
7:10 pm
think that was isolated to a couple centers. i have known the va, the last va director, i know the new guy. they are committed as best they can to excellence. the truth of the matter is, what we need is public and private groups helping these bats. our focus is that they understand waiting lines, being discouraged. there was a lot of focus and there should be. but rather than being angry with the va, we are trying to help them fix it and do the best they can. but the interesting things i was told and maybe it is still the same thing, a couple years ago, the pipeline became full of pts and pti. >> sean: you don't say ptsd. >> we dropped the d, it is a symptom, not a disorder.
7:11 pm
someone with a disorder, you do want to be labeled that. it's an injury. not totally >> sean: its estima0 soldiers are impacted by pts. >> one of the great things about this show is i am confident they are watching your show so my message is it is courageous to talk about pts. you are not less of a man or a woman. talk about it. go to our web site. bushcenter.org. we will direct you to our groups with fellow vets who can help you. >> sean: we are going to take a break. coming up, we are just getting started, george w. bush with us for the a whole hour. we will meet with more heroes
7:12 pm
featured in the presidents book, "portraits of courage." we are in dallas, texas. when i first started working with capital one, my dad called them up and asked for "the jennifer garner card" which is such a dad thing to do. after he gave his name the woman from capital one said "mr. garner, are you related to jennifer?" kind of joking with him. and my dad was so proud to tell her, "as a matter of fact, she is my middle daughter". so now dad has the venture card, he's earning his double miles, and he made a friend at the company. can i say it? go ahead! what's in your wallet? nice job dad. ostriches don't really stick their heads in the sand.
