host: george h bush, you had a number of appointments, including peace corps director. elaine: i was the deputy secretary in george h.w. bush's administration, as well as being the peace corps director. let me talk about the peace corps director first, because that was really interesting and it speaks to one of the great strengths of president george h bush, that is he had an insightful international view. in the summer of 1991, he already knew and sensed that the former soviet empire was going to collapse. and he knew that peoples of the different republics of the former soviet union were going to need a different kind of assimilation into the rest of the world. so that is what he wanted the peace corps to do, is to help develop, send in volunteers with a different kind of skill set. volunteers who were older, who had more experience, and you would be able to help the peoples of the former soviet into adjust and assimilate a new post soviet union world. host: eight years as the labor secretary, both terms of george w. bush, what was he like to work with? elaine: he was

it's a volleyball on a squash court, george h. w. bush loved that game playing with the sailors and marines and family, archery, driving range which is the landing zone, the putting green, two pools and the lounge, horseback riding, cross-country skiing if he wanted to call for ggolf orgo skiing you had to lee camp and every president recreation differently, president obama had his own events with his friends so that's talked about in the book. mrs. obama liked to do small workout begins with her friends to begin with what it's for, it's for a getaway car relaxation for the president and family and everyone has used differently. [inaudible] >> yes, the staff pool which is where another story comes in because president bush wasn't supposed to go swimming in the staff pool and went swimming one morning and she can for you all about that story that they can go anywhere they want its just unusual because usually they would go to the hourglass shaped pool but it's their place so they go wherever they want and give adjust as needed. we also hav

if you think about donald trump, he is absolutely anathema to the bushes. george h to be bush campaigned under trying to create a kinder gentler nation. george w. bush campaigned under compassionate conservatism. when we were attacked, even after 911, george w. bush resist taking the path of least resistance and sending this message of xenophobia and nativism and instead visit the mosque to emerge and say that islam is peace. it's quite remarkable by today's standards to take this further, if i may, if you look at ronald reagan, ronald reagan is the republican icon. he is the emblem of republican and he's called the great communicator. what is his most famous rhetoric, is standing at the brandenburg gate and saying to his soviet counterpart, mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. america at its best stands for both literally and figuratively tearing walls down, not building them. and then you have donald trump. [applause] , if i could take it just a little further, just look at ronald reagan's policy towards the soviet union which was trust but verify. when he was talk

together by the ethos that is part of the bush family. >> let's talk about thattetteos, and in particular-- ethos an in particular a fascinating letter that george h-w bush wrote to his sons in 1973, as the watergate scandal is happening. it you introduce that letter and read a quote from it. >> of course. this letter was written when george h-w bush was the chairman of the republican national committee. and it was just two weeks before richard nixon resigned from the presidency in 1-9d 74. and-- 1974. and he used that as a teachable moment, if you will. and he wrotes his son a letter which in part includes this pass age. in judging your president, give him credit for enormous achievements. but understand, too, that power accompanied by arrogance is very dangerous. it is particularly dangerous when men with no real experience have it, for they can abuse our great institutions. and it is that last, the last part of it that is so fascinating. >> especially now, a very timely quote. >> a very timely quote. >> and i'm wondering given this is how you see the bush ethos what should be president's bush, who have this slal u, howe did they see the republi

then something when they said goodbye to reagan and george h. w. bush, the crew did something that you asked the white house can we say goodbye to the president? sure, , do whatever you want. four days of all kinds of guess, 200 people coming coming through, craziness. he's got to pop singers singing, the chapel, don henley, just a lot of million in a good, fun way. then the final day they are at camp david, the sunday before the tuesday inauguration. so that morning at chapel my wife michelle on the left and ginger williams, the chaplains wife event clinton's some gifts that it hung on the chaplain walls for ages. that evening we had a little farewell ceremony in the hangar. this is senator-elect clinton, this is when she won the new york senatorial race. she makes comics, the president makes comics. we get some milk bones to buddy. anybody's happy it would take one last photo with the camp david crew in the clinton family. last moments, last night there at camp david at least as the president and first lady, senator-elect. every ceo talks about saying

it has failed for every administration going back to george h. w. bush. and i think with the obama administration, we have really reached the end of the road for this because i think many would argue that the obama administration, at least in terms of initial intentions, was the most forward-leaning administration to come into office when it came into the north korea problem, and now it is in line with even the clinton administration took time during their two terms. what can be done in the interim? the most important thing that can be done is to get more information into north korea, more information in terms of what is going on in the outside world, in terms of marketization, in terms of cell phones. this is the only way to make inroads into seeing any change. but from the perspective of the leadership, economic reform is a double-edged sword because on the one hand they need economic reform, they need money, food, these sorts of things. on the other hand, when the regimes like this open up, it releases all sort of political forces that inevitably lead

and by the time we got to 1990, 91, read my lips, no new taxes, george h. bush had to fall on the sort because the economy dipped and started changing. he had to raise taxes to keep the country afloat. >> neil: that might happen. but the fact of the matter is, we have all of these companies doing this now and i'm wondering if you are concerned that you or some of your democratic colleagues might not have appreciated that, certainly the white house has admitted that they couldn't have fathomed these countries sharing the loot. >> i'm the first to tell you, neil, if i make a decision, i have to make it on what i have in front of me and based on historical values that i have had to rener on. so you have that one, then you have the mandate. when they repealed the mandate. we had a fix with bipartisan fix. i'm thinking try the fix before you repeal it. if it doesn't work, do what you have to do in repealing it. going down to 21%, could we have stopped at 25% permanently at 25% and waiting three years, see if the gdp kept growing, see if the debt started going down. t

george w. bush administration or you'd have people that were from the george h. walker bush or even if the reagan administration people are still around from there this would have a mix of luck it is not there it is pointed out here with. a point on many go ahead richard go ahead go ahead richard. i'm saying mohler robert muller who is the head of this was a ronald reagan appointee to a top law enforcement position he was at george h.w. bush appointee to a top law enforcement position he was at george w. bush to a top law enforcement position moeller so this notion about who is on the staff you know the contribution or to a political party is it or thought you were just appointed to the supreme court well i'm not i mean i just i don't know i'm not so worried about democrat or republican guys i'm more worried about the deep state that's what i worry about ok you know john one of the yes exactly one of the things i really worry about here is if you look because the way things are going man a ford in flint seem to have been unfairly treated because they said somethin

[applause] president bush: thank you very much. mr. president, mr. speaker, members of the united states congress: i return as a former president of the senate and a former member of this great house. and now, as president, it is my privilege to report to you on the state of the union. tonight,i come not to speak about the state of the government, not to detail every new initiative we plan for the coming year nor to describe every line in the budget. i'm here to speak to you and to the american people about the state of the union, about our world -- the changes we've seen, the challenges we face -- and what that means for america. there are singular moments in history, dates that divide all that goes before from all that comes after. and many of us in this chamber have lived much of our lives in

and of course under the george h bush administration she was u.s. trade representative during which time she led the negotiations for the north american free trade agreement. so it would be hard to find a better person in washington to see about what nafta has achieved and what the world could look like without it. so please join me in welcoming ambassador carla hills. [ applause ] >> thank you, richard. well, we have a great panel. so i'm going to be very brief. i think in starting to think about what we lose from a pullout of the nafta, we ought to remember what did the agreement do for us. so let me briefly say it brought together 490 million consumers, and created a $19 trillion market. it eliminated tariffs and all industrial goods and most agricultural goods except for a few with canada. opened a broad range of services including financial services and provided national treatment for our service providers across line. it removed significant investment barriers and provided protection for our north american investors and provided enforceable pr

cases those two elements became, created a crisis that came to dominate the presidencies of george h. w. bush george w. bush. what is the threat that is out there and do you see threats none of the sea? what is the thing that worries you the most in the world that none of us are talking about and none of these journalists are asking anyone about that really could come out and surprises and that you worry about at night? >> the list is long. we have the set of things that would be in the national intelligence priorities framework and we would all know them. they would be in the news many days here then is a set of other things that one should characterize as second-tier. in spite of the fact they are not in the news each day. certainly the political risk in south america are one of them, to make sure we get that right and that the united states is watching what's taking place in, frankly, every everyplace soutr border, texaco, central america and south america. and then the other thing that, frankly, intelligence but comme needs to get right is that some of these threats that are real, what th

you remember that president george h. w. bush, who was a president that i wrote for.term president in part because of clinton's guys said it is the economy. and it was not just that the economy was not doing as well but that he had departed from the republican conservative libertarian principles that oppose helped to boost the economy. i think he should just continue to do what he has been saying. i think you should go out of his way to alienate or poke a finger in the eye of democrats. but i think that he should just really focus on his accomplishments. he could explain a little bit more about, he started to do that. what america first means. and i think that would be helpful in terms of maybe communicating to the larger country when he says america first, it means a lot of things to different people. but you know, his favorite author in his favorite book is the fountainhead. so rather than just going around america first as a bromide, he could look back to some of the first principles of why you know as iran said, you can't take care of others unless you first take

george h. w. bush had many business interests. he divested from them. i don't think it's too much to ask and to think there's a way to expect presidents to come up with a plan. i don't think the law should micromanage what the the presit does. i think the president with the people advising her or him should just be responsible for doing that. >> why should the law not micromanage what the president does? and when we have proposals forward, say there's a complete shift in the congress and the administrations i had to say hey, we will put all of these ethics rules done to make sure nothing happens again, what is the risk of overregulated? >> i would say one of the issues is, the more you get into congress micromanaging the president finances, like you can have this, i do think there is constitutional concerns raised. presidents are citizens, they are subject to the same laws of the rest of us. i don't believe that our constitutional concerns with subjecting to the president of conflict of interest longer la. i'm not convinced if you're trying to have cong

as the united states becomes weaker, we do not modernize, it was george h. w. bush that ended the american nuclear testing program, a republican. he ended that testing program unilaterally. we can start again if we need to do that. we have chosen not to do that. the best thing we can do is have a robust nuclear deterrent threat so other countries who do not have them continue to believe they do not need them because they rely on the united states. it worries me when people say that we can perhaps just deal with north korea having a nuclear program. as soon as you get comfortable and moved to a containment strategy, who is going to want nuclear weapons in that region? south korea is going to want at the very least the united states to deploy tactical nuclear weapons, which we withdrew. if there are nuclear weapons in south korea, who else is going to want nuclear weapons? japan. do you see the problem we are running into? keg. is a powder g it is a very precarious situation. the best thing the united states can do, realistically. i am not a proponent of global zero t
