george bush gets the ashes. he comes to power in 1989, at a moment when most american security analyst and policy analyst said come to the conclusion that ronald reagan had gone too far. it's quite fascinating to go back and look at the republican presidential primaries in 1988, 87 into 80, eight and see just how far every single person on the stage is trying to distance themselves from reagan's legacy, because they thought reagan had been too trusting. reagan had looked at gorbachev, look to many, i if you will, and believed he was actually getting reforms he wanted. and reagan, who had become quite frightened at the way the cold war almost turn hot in 1983, decides he's going to reach out his hand, and gorbachev reaches out to, and they both begin a revolutionary and quite important dance of opening up the possibility of change. and then, because he is constitutionally limited, he retired. you can't blame him for that one. leaving in january at 89, george bush takes over. at this moment, there is fundamental e

carl rove and george w. bush of these books, and sometimes you have someone who's not necessarily high up on the chart but has a personal connection to the president. george w. bush had a coterie of aides who may not have been the most senior aides but they would go bike riding, find out from younger aides what was going on in the popular culture. it is important to remember that the president is in a bit of a bubble. you don't really meet your old friends, and anyone knew you meet me chose president. there's a question of trust. in the obama administration, obama would be trolling around on his ipad to see what people are saying on blocks about, him not necessarily healthy for a president but he had a good way of getting it out people said. >> it can be very difficult for presidents. i remember president obama and michelle obama like to go out for dinner on friday night just of the can feel like they were out amongst regular people, citizens, that became very difficult for them because of all of the secret servi

w bush, which was in george w. bush's 20s. he was never without a book by his side. so i think bush was always a reader, but he intentionally put on this cowboy persona in order to be successful in texas politics, and he actually lost a race in 1978 to a guy named kent hance and pants and hands portrayed george w bush. think about this george w bush as some kind of pointy-headed ivy league internationalist type, which is definitely not the persona that we think of george w bush with today and george w bush not only corrected but over corrected after that. he said i'll never be out country again and he put on the boots and the jeans and the leather jacket and the cowboy hat, but but he never stopped reading and kind of hept it behind closed doors for a while when he came to the white house and people were portraying him as this not smart cowboy then he tried to let people know he was reading but with laura again, it was a librarian. she was always reading and i know they did talk about a question from geraldine from connecticut

and george bush is from new england or texas.has, you know, less ties to new england than he does to any prep school -- >> you mean to iowa. >> iowa, yeah. less ties to iowa than any prep school in new england. so he beats reagan. and this is -- that night, tom pet it of nbc goes on national television and says, we have just witnessed the political funeral of ronald reagan. reagan is out, that's it. five weeks later, he scores an enormous comeback in the new hampshire primary. and we all remember the diplomat, the famous national debate. i'm paying for this microphone, mr. green, even though his name was breen. reagan said green. and that begins -- that starts the beginning of his comeback against bush. but he goes to detroit, the party still divided and so he needs to pick bush to unify the party as they always have. nixon picks agnew. it was the split they practiced into the '70s. so then it unifies the party. it goes through 30 primaries and state conventions. the primary -- or the nomination is not just reagan's for the askin

i mentioned him getting his picture taken with george bush. gave a lot of money to the republican senator toal committee senatorial committee to candidates and got him picture width burn issue with karl rove, with john mccain, with john boehner, in the number of honestly 99% of them were republican leading in the early 2000s. got his picture taken with them, and i think he did that for a number of reasons. when you can show that picture to people, which he did, put some of pictures on business cards. it showed sort of helped stand the charity up and made it look like it was legit. why would these people stand next to him if it wasn't legit. i also think part of the reason of the con in addition to see how far he could get away with it, there's this aspect to the commander that he seems to like feeling important, to feel like he is a part of something bigger, to be part of world history, and i think by standing next to these people, giving those donations to stan next to these people, he was able to live out that story in his own mind. >> yeah.

libraries to house their presidential and personal papers artifacts and memorabilia including george hw bush whose library opened in 1997. up next william harris of the fdr library and william holzweis from the george hw bush library talk about the important role. they continue to play. the franklin d roosevelt library and museum provided the video hi, my name is william harris. i'm the deputy director of the franklin d roosevelt presidential library and museum in hyde park, new york. and today i'd like to welcome as a guest for conversation about presidential libraries and the president who established them and who's holding say that are here and that's robert holzweiss. who's the deputy director my counterpart at the george hw bush presidential library down in college station, texas, bob and i go back almost 25 years actually. it might get more it feels that way doesn't it feels like more sometimes. bob and i both began as training archivists at the original bush project down when it was in a bowling alley in a chinese restaurant. yeah. i'm in college station. so bob welcome to this conver

he doesn't take the george bush challenge seriously and he ends up losing the iowa caucuses in january of 1980 which was a stunning, stunning upset to the political world. it's enormous and it's huge and reagan had been a radio broadcaster in iowa in the '30s and he was from nearby illinois and he was a local hero and george bush is from new england and texas. he has, you know, less ties to new england than he does to any prep school. >> you mean to iowa? >> yeah. he has less ties to iowa than any prep school in new england. so he beats reagan and that night he goes on national television and says we have just witnessed the political funeral of ronald reagan. reagan is out. that's it. five weeks later he scores an enormous comeback in the new hampshire primary and we all remember the debate and the famous national debate. i'm paying for this microphone, mr. green even though his name was green, but that starts the beginning of his comeback against bush, but he goes to detroit and the party is still divided and so he needs to pick bush to unify the party as they always have and nixon pi

as far as george bush is concerned, i know there will be different opinions.view is you dance with the one that brought you. >> loyalty. >> he gave both -- and i lots of opportunities. i'm sure there are moments in the politics we are in today where he might see me on tv and wonder why i am saying what i am saying. what about my conscience, which i think is properly formed and i have great respect for that man and he did a lot of good. he is an example of what happened to cancel culture before we knew it. he was another republican at the national level that was completely demonized and destroyed and distorted. that is what they do to republicans at the national level. >> you talk about what you learn from karl rove, what have you learned from former president trump? about the tactic of shaming to try to destroy your political opponent. >> you all -- because you know we have flaws, and you have to hang out with me to see me maybe use amortization and use. -- words i should not use. we all get that. most of us are probably people of faith. church was packed toda

president george w. bush signed the economic stimulus act on his way out in 2008 that act consisted of $152000000000.00 and $600.00 tax rebates to low and middle income class households during the great recession and the housing crisis then president barack obama signed the american recovery and reinvestment act in 2009 that law was created to save jobs create new ones invest in infrastructure health education temporary relief programs but pretty much the whole gamut the approximate cost was $787000000000.00 how do past him leap stimulus packages lined up with biden's american economists and author richard joins us now welcome richard thank you. well richard what elements of this stimulus package do you think make it groundbreaking and how does it line up with some of the previous packages like the new deal. well it is larger i mean the economy has grown and the value of the dollar has shrunk and so it has to be larger if it isn't going to begin to do something and i want to be fair it is going to help some p

candidate obama had used the word genocide and had scrutinized criticized george w. bush for not using a term as president when he became president there there were these protocols called the turkish army and protocols that were supposed to bring peace to the area but they were not well thought out and i might even say that there were an attempt for you know genocide denial by turkey and so they convinced the administration that these 2 countries might be getting closer to a relationship through these protocols and therefore it might be best not to recognize history as what it is which was a mistake samantha powers who recognize who was the u.n. ambassador will tell you it was a mistake and i think biden after recognition of the armenian genocide by the u.s. congress i think that by going in ministration is in a much better position to speak truth to history i mean do you expect that any moment now they're going to finally do you could have done it by executive order you know now i do i think it look today that we commemorate the genocide as april 24th every year which is

boost to the economy from pumping a lot of money in as you rightly said president obama did that george bush did that we've had 3 crashes of our economy in this new one century and we flooded money and they had to spend our way and it doesn't work and i think the basic reason the is being stimulated if i can borrow a metaphor from from surgery you stimulate a person's heart with electric shock or some other form because you believe that his heart or her heart is basically ok and the stimulus is all that's needed because all the rest is in working order that's not the case in the united states whether it's our reaction to coal that or the fires in california or the failure of electricity in texas i mean i could go on but you get the idea we need a change in our system if we're going to overcome these problems all the lies we're going to be throwing the stimulus is more and more flooding the economy sure it's better than nothing but it is not the solution. to the kinds of problems we've had last point we've had depressions before and we've had public health catastrophes before we have never ha

rights used to be about partisan issue last tileut voting right bill was reauthorized was 2006 george bush was president and it passed this w chamber in 98-0. but then in 2013, the supreme court rejected the successful formula for supervision and contain in 1965 voting rights act they asked congress to pex it. that was nearly eight years ago. and american people are still waiting trip to protections voters and states with a long history of voter discrimination and voters in many other states have been flown to the wind. we americans have noisy and spirited debates about many things and we should that's what it means to live in a free country. but access to ballot ought to be nonpartisan. i submit that there should be 100 votes in this chamber. for policies to make it easier for americans to make their voices heard in our democracy. surely, there ought to be at least 60 -- in this chamber who believe as i do that the four most powerful words uttered in a democracy are the people have spoken. therefore, we must ensure that all of the people can speak. but if not, we must go past voting right

and not only that, george h.w. bushs about to be elected president and that's only going to further, right, sort of frustrate them because many of them are going to be shown the door in the bush white house. and so there's this sort of belief that, you know, they haven't really achieved what they setout to achieve. they haven't transformed the country in the same way that fdr had, say, in the 1930s. i want to pivot now to show you a little bit about -- i don't have a ton of time, but to show you a little bit about how reagan wanted to frame his own legacy. because it is also very different from what conservatives claim the reagan legacy should be today. let's take a look at how go ronald reagan think about his own foreign cold war legacy and what does that mean? in order to sort of -- in this part of the book, i actually went to the ronald reagan library museum and i studied the exhibits. reagan actually worked with the archivists to create the museum. exhibits. he wrote the text. a lot is taken from his diary and memoi

george bush couldn't win a primary. george w. bush couldn't win a primary if he ran as he ran in 2000. that world just doesn't exist anymore. there's a -- to be a republican contender you have to validate yourself by saying that joe biden is an illegal president, you're engaged in a presidential campaign to defeat an illegal president. it's just crazy. and that's where the party wants to be. it's not that trump took the party someplace unwillingly. the party went there very willingly, and they're quite comfortable with donald trump. >> all right, eugene, as if that wasn't depressing enough i'm going to read one of my favorite columnists latest column. happens to be eugene robinson in "the washington post." and he writes, quote, the republican party's biggest problem is that too many people of color exercising their right to vote. the party's solution is a massive push for voter suppression that would make old time jim crow segregationists proud. some might argue at the party and buying into the lie that last year's election was so

but you can see the first two names on here is modeled reagan -- is ronald reagan and george bush.hen you get a variety of people from new york city, but specifically, a lot of people from reno, older city nevada, carson city and gardnerville, which is south of carson city which is a small ranching community. you get a lot of interested nevadans come into paul laxalt's office. which i think is still the case with many of our members of congress. but i think it is neat to see that the president and vice president are right up there on top. this is a finished folder from from -- from the actual manuscript collection. these markers are for my reference so i can find something in here. this is an acid-free folder. it has the title. this is 1980 convention file which includes drafts of laxalt's nominating speech for reagan. this is the part of the collection that is fully processed. the reagan portion. if i open up this folder and see there are some newspaper clippings. some election laws. some memoranda and if i get back here, i run into paul's nominating speech from ronald -- for rona

up next george w. bush and the iraq search. this is the second of three programs on this topic, hosted by the center for presidential history in dallas. >> okay ladies and gentlemen good afternoon, i'm here for i hold a chair at international probable takes at s and you, and we will introduce our distinguished panel of speakers. so we have ambassador eric -- . he's a practitioner and resident at the school for international studies at john hopkins university in d.c.. he has served for senior positions at the apartment of state, and he served as u.s. ambassador to finland and turkey and was vice president dick cheney's principled assistant for national security affairs. he has received several awards for distinguished public service and from the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and distinguished servant service award to a far left we have general doug lewd. he retired in 2017, previously he had a distinguished 35 year in the u.s. army he also served for a total of six years in the white house under both presidents george w.

this conception of reagan started to emerge around 2005, 2006 in the wake of george w. bush is dismal presidency from the point of u.s. conservatives work became very disillusioned with george w. bush. what i want to talk to you today about is how conservatives viewed reagan during the 19 eighties. oftentimes, they viewed him with frustration, contempt, anger because not more was being done to achieve conservatives policy goals. i was surprised when we are searching for my dissertation because i went through stephen hayward's book and found a nice paragraph or you talked about all these conservatives who are upset and frustrated with reagan and he went on and told the story, the long story about the reagan years. i thought that was really fascinating. i found that inside of other books i was reading in my someone are plus. i took it to my advisers and they said it sounds like an excellent topic, go look into it. out of that research came the book, getting right with reagan. the struggle for true conservatism. that's what i'll be talking about today. we will go ahead and talk

the city council for not just saying you care about george bush. but showing you care about george floor not just saying. show him to the world black. telling a washington correspondent all of us talent has more all over this is one of the largest civil rights compensation payments and u.s. history how did it come about. you're perfectly right nicole $27000000.00 u.s. $1.01 of the largest settlements in u.s. history the city council voted on anonymously in favor of some and it was really a big case if you think back what did what it looked like in summer here in the united states and around the world killing of george for that triggered protests in several countries around the world with millions taking to the street also to an extent really within the united states is death as you remember it recorded on video some really drastic and almost undeniable moments there when officer or ex officer i should say when was kneeling 4 minutes on the neck of george floyd until he was killed so certainly a very high sum that is paid here leaves lawyers and the

[ applause ] >> lordy, lordy. [ laughter ] if i may quote someone. so i did bring my specs because i am getting older these days. i have read the book. i thoroughly enjoyed it. i finished it on a flight back from washington, d.c., last weekend as coincidence would have it. it was fun. it was memorable. there were a lot of personal stories, a lot of things i remember. there was a lot of backstage, behind the scenes information that i hadn't known about. but all of it was centered towards public events. and i'm wondering if you can tell us first
