george h.w. bush that summer of 1988. i mean, vice president bush was vice president but essentially trying to run for a third term of the ronald reagan presidency and it's always hard to ask voters to give the same party three presidential terms in a row. bush was strung by a running mate, dan quail to be his vice presidential running mate but even though dan quail was liked enough as a senator, as a potential vice president he was seen as not ready for prime time. seen as not up to the task of being a heart beat away from the presidency. and in the summer of 1988 when george h.w. bush was on the ropes and looked like he wasn't going to win way down in the polls and looked like dukakis was going to beat him, he reached out to an old friend for help to come back and win the election. that debate in los angeles was held on october 13th, 1988. two days before the debate on october 11th, george h.w. bush wrote this note, check it out. ted, as i head for the coast, i want you to know i got your last two l

it was actually george bush, george w. bush, but in any case they are all the same. it is high excitement. the capitol is lit up in every which way that you can believe, outside and inside. the security will be immense, and there is just, as i say, electricity in the air inside the house chamber. >> i am just trying to picture being inside there in this historic capital building. it is just jampacked, isn't it? >> what it says to the whole world is that the american democracy lives, it thrives. executive, three branches ofgov legislative, along with members of the military, and it is really a remarkable show of democracy. >> but they all come together in this one moment, but then the next day the divisiveness is all apparent. >> sadly, that is the case, but it is not new. it is historic. this night and every time, you have a state of the union that brings people together in the same room. platitude i made during the speech, and high and lofty themes, and that kind of carries over for a few days, then it sort of reverts back to the party politics. >> tonight there are

here was george h.w. bush, sitting vice president and presidential candidate during that presidential campaign writing to convicted felon spiro agnew. quote, i'd love to have a paper from you with any suggestions you'd care to make. i'd welcome such a paper. i really would. this was him asking for written advice from agnew on how bush could best plan his campaign to beat dukakis. and it's not like george bush was naive or ignorant about spiro agnew's past, as we found in "bag man," poppy bush, the republican party chairman at the time of the agnew scandal, he was brought into very much what looks like a criminal obstruction of justice scream orchestrated by the nixon white house to try to pressure the federal prosecutors working on the agnew case that they should work on the case. i mean, george h.w. bush was personally in on that. he was part of that scheme. he knew exactly what had gone down with agnew. but thanks to these documents that we have now obtained, we can now see that bush kept up this effusive se

harriet meyers was george bush's old friend, had been a family member, trusted friend, attorney, very close to the bushes for years, was white house counsel. george bush nominates harriet meyers for a seat on the supreme court to take the place of sandra day o'connor. there's outrage because those on the left feel like she's too close to bush, a family friend. she doesn't have experience. she's never been a judge. she hasn't gone to one of the top law schools. she graduated from s.m.u. so there's all of that kind of emphasis on what we expect now from nominees. those on the right were also critical because is she approved by the federalist society? is she going to be conservative? or is she going to be like david souter? is she going to be a friend of the white house chief of staff which is how souter was -- how his whole nomination? so it was this whole question of what is our sort of model for nominating justices to the supreme court? bush has tried to go back to the old sort of crony model. abraham lincoln, andrew jackson, in some ways franklin d. roosevelt and even linden johnson

how do we get from george washington to george w. bush. how do we get from george washington to barack obama. how do we get from george washington to donald trump? one of the striking things is if you go to george washington to most presidents before the current president, you see a kind of linear progression. now, some people would think that it's the climb, that the curb slopes down. in fact, this question of -- this comparison between the first president and the current president goes all the way back to the second president. presidents always look better in the rear-view mirror than they do when they're right, front and center. part of this is that we tend to i don't know -- we sort of tend to forget the failures and remember the successes. that's part of it. the other thing is that presidents are usualy pretty talented people. and so there's -- they usually have a lot of positive things that can be said about them. but while they're president, typically the other party or sometimes factions with their own party have an incentive to tel

he was attorney general under george bush 41. he is conservative, and democrats do not like his policy positions, but for the most part, it is just a partisan fight. we still do not know what senator manchin and a couple more moderate democrats will do, but it does not look like he is threatened. host: the white house looks confident at this point? guest: yeah. they would like to pick off manchin or one or two others. they always want to get as many votes for these nominees, especially something like attorney general, especially given matthew whitaker's controversial testimony last week before the house judiciary committee. they want this to look as bipartisan as they can, even if it is just three or four .emocrats and expect the president server tok -- expect the president go back to us virginia and places like this and to tweet about joe manchin, who he likes a lot. i would expect to see attorney house, barr at the white either in the oval office or, weather permitting, in the rose garden this week with a ceremony with the pres

we're coming off of george w. bush. and suddenly -- >> you are cringing?ed with having to eat the slop that republican party is pushing out. it is just maddening, here comes donald trump. i said let's look at this guy. what is this about? how irreverent and matter of fact. he broke the format, he broke the form of what people assume a presidential candidate has to be. he has to be able to tell the trurthetruth and figure things , there is a lot he is required to do. there are extra curricular things, with trump you get a complete conversation, you don't get a conversation with george w. bush. interesting dichotomy, i used to yell at republican party all of the time. a guy involved with republican party in los angeles, he would say fred, what do you think. i would say remember that supreme court justice in alabama you were fire from the press because he put 10 commandments in the rotunda. >> roi moore. >> all by himself. it was a picture of roy moore, and camera shot up at him, he had this for for lost loa lonel. i thought, why didn't george bush go to karl

northam was a republican with george w. bush and he ran admitting that and saying he changed his views. if he also had said what i had racial views that i am not proud of that are in the past and i have changed, he might be in a better position, but that is not how he ran. host: our guest is paul glastris, editor in chief of the washington monthly. hisrod brown who is on dignity for jobs tour. there is what he had to say. [video clip] democratic activists and pundits act like our party has to choose between advocating for strong progressive values that excite our base, which we do, or talking to working-class voters about their lives. for us it is not either or. you governed by speaking to progressive values and fighting for workers. you campaign that way and you win that way. that is why we do both. guest: it is not a great challenge for the democrats to issues ofween groups.ting different aret of culture issues lunch bucket economic issues, and talking specifically about the economy and working americans. i think sherrod brown

george w. bush, while not ranked high on our poll as a successful president, although he was a two-termer. but we see him growing in public stature simply by staying out of washington, d.c., being in dallas and kind of not being engaged in the political warfare of the moment. and i should tell c-span viewers, a lot of presidents do a little better once they're out of office, believe it or not. over time it heals some of the orst wounds and you can see an upward elevation of presidents. eisenhower in recent years has moved very high up. he's a top 10 president automatically now. when he left office, people wouldn't have thought of him as that. same with harry truman. they used to say to err is truman but yet a 20% approval rating and he couldn't run for re-election in 1952 because he was so unpopular. and yet now he's usually ranked number five as one of our great presidents for his handling of the cold war issues like the marshall plan to europe or the creation of nato, establishment of israel. you

but what happened was that in 1992, george bush of course negotiated the agreement. clinton gets blamed for it most often but he was opposed to it when it came to the actual election time and george bush said why are you opposed to it now, or at least your noncommittal about it when you were in favor of the negotiations, because clinton was a pro trade democrat. but at the time he said i want to see what happens on trade and labor, because the labor people and the environmentalists were opposed to it. well, after the election bush signed the agreement before he did anything about labor or the environment. so he basically signed the agreement quickly and clinton said that he was for it, except he wanted to something on trade and labor. then after that he came up with a side agreement which were not enough for dick gephardt and others, and also the labor unions. they didn't think it was strong enough, and they turned out to be right about that. it was not really strong enough in the long run. there you have it. sorry if i took too long. >> event into a next question. t

and he, george herbert walker bush, president clinton, president george w. bush in his heart, in his head was all there with immigration but we couldn't convince others in his party at that time. he really -- maybe the best in terms of his full appreciation personally as a representative, as a governor of a border state and, of course, barack obama. and so this administration is a departure from the bipartisanship that has always existed, the recognition of who we are by and large a nation of immigrants unless we are blessed to have been born into a native american family which is a blessing as well. so we have an -- we have important decisions to make relative to the dignity and worth of every person and who we are as a country acting upon our beliefs. i just close by saying, when i think of all of you, i think of one time i was someplace and somebody said, what is your favorite word? what is your favorite word? what is your favorite word? it was kind of not a particularly religious group but i said to them, my favorite word is the word, "the word" and the w

he undercut george h.w. bush, the 41st president, in such a way that he enabled bill clinton to win. bush 41 represents the republican party, and i think newt gingrich is the -- if you were to find one person that started this extreme partisanship and demotion, it was newt. let me say one other thing, though, because it's another trend that you as students need to be mindful of. the -- newt shut down the government. clinton was president, but there was another long shutdown. and newt later explained that the reason he shut it down was because the president didn't let him leave from the front entrance of air force one when they went over to israel to visit with the dignitaries. he had to go out the back. newt had to go out the back door. and so he made the american people suffer as a result of that. that kind of pettiness, i think, and this is just my own feeling, though, i think that type of immaturity and insecurity is really what it's about, is more prevalent in men than women. i mean, i don't think sexist -- t

karl rove is here he served as a senior advisor to president george w. bush.come, carl good to see you. where do you think the president is as he gears up as he and a very good position as he heads into reelection. i think he is in a challenging position. they have a 308% reelection today. and the president's job approval averages just below 42 percent. he is starting out somewhere between 38 and 42 percent at the starting gate. i think maybe the base of the democrats they want to impeach president bush. excuse me president trump. i think the democrats start somewhere between 43 and 50. he has an uphill fight and i think they recognize that by the tone they took and the direction they took in the state of the union address. it was presidential. and different in tone and indirection than we previously heard the president talk. it also through a marker down to democrats. let's deal on some of these issues that you want. but doesn't present trump need deals on some of these issues to be able to say look, i've been able to accomplish things or does had enough alre

other presidents have also made emergency declarations to achieve political goals like president george w. bush made similar declarations after the september eleventh attacks those continue to this day trumps already anticipating legal challenges but he expects to prevail in the courts as he points out he did when his ban on travelers entering the united states from some muslim majority countries was also challenged we will then be sued and they will sue us in the ninth circuit even though it shouldn't be there and we will possibly get a bad ruling and then we'll get another bad ruling and that will end up in the supreme court and hopefully we'll get a fair shake and we'll win in the supreme court but the legal and legislative challenges will be long and lengthy with presidential campaigning already underway doubletons attempt to keep a twenty sixteen campaign promise has become a twenty twenty presidential campaign issue as well kimberly helped get al jazeera the white house we'll bring in our guests in just a moment but first let's have a look at whether an emergency situation really does exi

fast forward to the 2000 campaign, george w. bush announced in 1999, 17 months before the election.0, candidates began announcing last month. 22 months before the election. it doesn't just seem that way it is that way. >> it is that way. i know the only constant is change, but i have to ask why? it would seem that early announcements make life much more difficult for the candidates as well as the voters. it draws everything out. >> takes forever. look, there are two main reasons why announcements are earlier than ever. first, democrats believe they can wrestle the presidency from trump. given his low standing in the polls now which are in the mid 30s. second, serious candidates want to get the jump on the others. they hope by announcing earlier they'll game more name recognition. they'll be able to attract the best staff members and begin the arduous task of fund-raising, which takes us to that point, unlimited fund-raising. until 2010, no problem. federal laws restricted how much money candidates could raise. but the u.s. supreme court decision and the citizens united case in 2010

all these summits only things can happen like they did for example with the annapolis one during george bush's iraq war others but as long as it doesn't change the facts on the ground of the livelihood of these people they won't have much hope in these meetings. at that meeting or such a thing. meanwhile at the sochi summit he rounds president hassan rouhani said he backs a push to clear syria's italy bridgend of fighters from high up that hit all shaan formerly known as the newsroom front russia's vladimir putin and ali of course of president bashar al assad said he is ready to drive the fighters out of italy and turkey's president said hopes for a political resolution to the conflict in syria have never been stronger the iranian president also said the presence of the us in the middle east harms countries in the region well the iranian president said that the us has had a destructive presence in the middle east. regarding the first issue i.e. the united states we do not have any optimism about what the americans are saying if the united states leaves syria completely. this would be. good new
