but nancy reagan did not feel free to call barbara bush directly to after. ncy reagan went to an aide who had been with both presidents and bush, and he called jean becker, who asked barbara bush. what she would say about nancy reagan in her memoir. barbara bush then wrote a mock chapter that recounted every offense she felt nancy reagan had ever made on her, and she gave that to jean becker saying, this is what i am going to say. it was that she did this, did this. she said she wrote, "and this was just a joke." she kind of unloaded on nancy reagan. but in her memoir, she did not really say a critical thing about nancy reagan. brian: we have some video that you will recognize, prince philip of great britain came to the white house during the reagan years and vice president bush and mrs. bush were or were not there, and we will talk about that when we look at the video. [video clip] >> things about coming to the united states, you have this extraordinary gift for making people feel welcome, and apart from the friendliness with which you greet everybody, it re

nancy reagan would say, i don't know why the press let's barbara bush get away with designer barbara ote in her diary, i wonder if it ever occurred to her that george bush paid for my close. gotn: nancy reagan famously into some pr trouble in two ways. one was by seeming very concerned at how she was dressed. the other was accepting dresses without paying for them by designers, and it became a controversy. one of the things it was interesting and her diaries is barbara bush really like to designer close, too. she liked to dress well. she was not known for dressing well in the same way nancy reagan was and she was not a close horse in the same way, but she got a lot of pleasure for close -- pleasure from clothes, but she always paid for them. that thegan would say press never gave her the benefit of the doubt, but it gave barbara bush the benefit of the doubt. i think that's a fair observation. brian: you tell a story about something called first monday. what was that in what did frank fahrenkopf tell you? susan: first monday was a magazine that the republican put out that had not that

barbara bush is pretty sure this is to try to explain away this interview she gave. e also complained that the bushes had not treated ronald reagan well, which the bushes would also disagree with, that they were very deferential to ronald reagan. but it was something nancy said in this interview. that first day, barbara bush ducked the call. from the white house operator, the call coming from nancy reagan. the second day, the operator said, it is mrs. reagan, aren't you going to take the call? so she took the call. nancy reagan began to try to explain what she had meant. this is the kind of conversation barbara bush had had many times with nancy reagan after public comments that seemed dismissive or disrespectful. barbara bush had finally had enough. they were out of the white house, she didn't need to bite her tongue anymore. she said that she took offense at it, reporters were at her door asking questions about it, which was not true, it was just to find to give nancy reagan heartburn. and she said to nancy reagan, and don't you ever call me again. and she hung up.

brian: what is your sense after spending all this time talking about barbara bush. at he have been elected without her? susan: george bush said, that is a good question, i think i would have. brian: he said he would have been elected without her? susan: yes. which is surprising, because if you have been a husband any length of time, you know the right answer to that question is, no. he said yes. when i asked her, she said absolutely, he was meant to be president. but i think they're both wrong. i think their partnership was indispensable. brian: here is more from the interview on october 9, 2013. you write about this in your book. [video clip] >> you've been referred to by some family members as the enforcer of the bush family. what do you think about that reputation? >> i'm not sure i am good with laura saying that, but i deserve it. -- you george is so know, anything they do is all right, but someone has to be sure the standards are kept. he leads by example, i lead by denying some things. i am the enforcer, there is no question about it. brian: people agree with t

george and barbara bush had privileged life up to that point. orn into families with social bloodlines, families with money, opportunities and at that point george bush oil business was going well and beginning to think about going into politics but here is something beyond their control. money, status and powerful friends could do nothing to save robin. when they were at sloan kettering she got to know families who also have children with leukemia who in much worse circumstance than she was and this was a lesson she took through the rest of her life. the five times i interviewed her was in her home and houston and four of those times it was in a living room and one time in the den but in the living room there was a chair she would always sit in and it's worked with it and do needle pointing which is something she liked and in the corner of the living room, not a place of prominence, the place where she could see it o from te chair in which he sat was a portrait of robin. in reading her diaries she would note today is robin's birthday and today i

barbara bush was not a -- barbara bush put family above all. that the bushes had with their children and grandchildren. the reagans had quite a dysfunctional family and i think they looked at each other and saw someone they didn't recognize, someone they didn't like, someone who wasn't like them. >> talk about the, you know, i've learned a lot about pat nixon, who was called plastic pat in the old days. from what i've been able to figure out is quite an extraordinary person. tell me about how barbara was also, barbara bush was always in the background. she didn't dye her hair. she didn't try to compete, as you say, in the fashion industry with nancy. what was the role that she played that you found in the lives of their husband and son? >> it changed over time. you know, initially in 1980 during bush's first run for the presidency, she was not a central figure. she was not seen as an asset in the campaign, but by 1988 she had a voice that bush was listening to. she was a critical voice in encouraging him to do some negative ads against opponent

this is the day after barbara bush had spoken at wild sleep.i just want to read a passage and then had susan talk about the incident. >> in the context is everything is changing for women in this time. and some women felt like she was not the best role model. that her own ideas and she stood up for her own ideas and she said something i just want to read. at the end of your life you will never regret not having passed one more test, we need one more verdict were not closing one more deal you will regret type not spent with a husband, a child a family or friend. i need to pay attention to this woman. over the objections of the chief of staff. they would not be friendly to her. some of the graduating seniors. they started a petition drive. sane and she was not an appropriate role model. her fame was derivative from the man's she had married. that was not the message that they have earned in four years. >> this became an international controversy. it was a time they were trying to sort out how do you balance job and family. what are the appropriat

>> that's right. >> you asked them if george bush hadn't been married to barbara pierce, would he havech a generational divide. people in the bush's generation generally said yes, he would have become president regardless, but the younger you got, the more astonishing people thought the question was, because they were such partners and the word that people kept using was indispensable, they were each indispensable to the other. i asked actually to the bushes separately that question, and barbara bush said immediately, absolutely, he was destined to be, do all the things that he did and i asked george, and he thought about it a minute and said yes, i think i would have become president. >> surprising. >> i think they are both wrong about that, because i think this was a partnership, the likes of which we rarely see in life. >> let's go through, there's so many interesting details. you open up in one of the opening chapters about the death of barbara's first daughter, robin, who died of leukemia at the age of 3 years old. why did you start the book with that story? >> i didn't originally

to barbara bush, that was unthinkable. barbara bush adored her husband, children and grandchildren.r her legacy, she's said that. >> dana: i know a young mother that read this book in preparation nor the interview. she said it was quite moving for her. there's advice in her for how to manage a family and working and being in the spotlight, all of that. >> yeah, she was tough. they called her the enforcer. jeb bush called her the traffic cop. she was the one in charge. she set high standards and expected people to reach them. sometimes in ways that they felt critical and to recover from. you can tell from the quality of her children and grandchildren that she leaves a tradition of public service to others. >> dana: i saw one last night, little barbara bush. thank you, susan. >> thank you. >> dana: a long-time elementary school janitor in georgia showing up to work on his 80th birthday. instead of finding trash cans to empty, he found nearly 800 students singing him happy birthday. the students also gave him hand-made cards. so many in fact that they filled several buckets. no doubt t

>> people thought they knew barbara bush.y thought she was approachable, warm, and a oud ofother with the white hair, and she was all those things, but she was more than that, in ways i think most americans didn't realize. she was a hugely influential political advisor to her husband and to her son. she spoke with them behind the scenes on issues like confronting the aids crisis or dealing with the e the cold war. there are ways in which she set a standard for her family, led this remarkable am family that i thought was a story that ought to be told. >> woodruff: you write she raised in a family of privilege, but she had a difficult relationship with her mother that had an effect on her the rst of her life. >> she had a toulationship with her mother. her mother would make fun of her weight and compare her to her older sister martha who was very pretty, on the cover of the college issue of "vogue," and i think this left a wound on barbara bush she had for her whole life. >> woodruff: and that stayed t th her. what abr relation

barbara bush was a harder nut to crack. she was skeptical of bill clinton. like that he cheated at golf. that was a particular offense. she was eventually won over because of the friendship her husband developed with bill clinton. she was never won over by hillary clinton. she compared hillary clinton's memoirs to nancy reagan's memoirs and, believe me, it was not intended as a compliment. >> on a personal note, it's gotten a lot of attention that she had a bout of depression. it was very serious. i think this is helpful for viewers to know someone this high profile and this seemingly stoic person could have had that kind of depression. what did she tell you about it? >> it was 1976. they had come back from china. bush had taken over as head of the cia which she told him no longer to take. she could no longer be involved in his work life because he was full of secrets and she said, i can't keep a secret. she had an empty nest. her kids were gone. she was going through menopause. perhaps she had a hormone imbalance. she fell into a terrible darkness and said

of the bush family, but in some ways she was the first mother of america. >> she was an amazing woman. if you're going to run for president, you ought to have a wife like barbara wife of 73 years, president george h.w. bush dies at the age of 94. his son delivers his eulogy in front of family, friends and america's presidents. >> dad taught me what it means to be a president who serves with integrity, leads with courage and acts with love in his heart for the citizens of our country. when the history books are written, they will say that george h.w. bush was a great president of the united states. >> my grandfather moved through the world in a very kind way. that was just the essence of who he was as a person, and then, of course, who you are as a person dictates who you are as a president. >> he was a compassionate, caring individual, and most considerate person i've ever known in my life. >> george h.w. bush's greatest legacy is the president who ended the cold war. he was an amazing foreign policy president and one of the best one-term presidents in u.s. history. >> through our tears, let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you, a great and noble ma

i think this is a key actually to her success. >> i admired barbara bush. thought her story hadn't been told, but one thing i found in writing this book is how much fun she was. interviewing her was a treat, and her telling stories about her relationship with nancy reaganer for instance, it was as though she was reliving their friction from yesterday. >> schieffer: they didn't like one another >> they did not like each other. >> i think pain and grief really stayed with marie madeline for the rest of her life. after the war she survived, as did a number of her top people. they went off. they were men. they went off and formed an airline and they did all these great things. she basically devoted the rest of her life to the agents who survived and especially to the wives and children of those who didn't. she raised money for them until the day she died to make sure that they could continue living, you know, in a substantive way. france was not willing to give them much money, and she did her best to do everything she could for them. >> schieffer: wow. well, i

in seven of those campaigns barbara bush played a personal role.n american politics that matches that? so i think that her concerns were not something that were, should be dismissed or were dismissed by those around her. i think it was something that, that resonates. when i ask her, do you still think you're a republican just months before she died in february of 2018 and she said no she didn't think so. i'm to say i found that to be shocking. >> yep. i do too. john meacham. >> susan, talk about the origin of the book. what was it about her that drew you in the first place? >> so i thought she was under estimated and i thought people thought they knew her. i have to talk about the origins of the book. there's a story in which you play a part which you don't know. >> oh, good. >> i was thinking about writing this book, and you, of course, had written a wonderful g.h.w. bush biography. we were both in aspen in summer of 2017 and i stalked you because i wanted to ask you about what you thought about doing a biography of barbara bush but i didn't you k

generation before barbara bush. when she was can be a teacher she tried to hide the fact that they eloped because you were not allowed to be a teacher if you are married. that is that world of 1930. and her eldest daughter. supersmart. went to cal as many of them did. it was the 1950s. she is still bitter to the state. about the fact that she was raised in a world where you were to get married and that was the 1950s a 1950s ozzie and harriet world. a really important piece of the political career. she was educated. pat never went to college. always felt intellectually deficient because of lack of a college education did not know how to pronounce words sometimes correctly and bernice was a really important part of his formative education. but always behind the scenes. and as the gracious first lady who entertained then you fast-forward to jerry brown 2.0. the second time where he was married to and gassed was born in 1958. and have a formidable career as a lawyer with the important corporate lawyer in the executive a

susan, you have it with you, your book on barbara bush. how did she see the me too movement? talk through the bush family's relationship with this as well. >> barbara bush had a complicated view of the me too movement. you may remember president bush in his final years would make a stupid joke about david copperfield and he would squeeze the butt of at least two women who stood next to them to their great discomfort. it was very painful for barbara bush that some people made this equivalent to much more egregious offenses like the harvey weinstein saga, for instance. president bush had parkinson's disease, he was taking medication for that. it had a side effect of making impulse control more difficult, made him behave in ways that he did not understand would be seen by others. bash are bush adored george bush and had so much faith in her, this was a difficult time for her. >> much more on this conversation on days the and weeks to come. stick around a little longer, along with katie and tim as we continue the conversation, democrats, their renewed push to get their hands on th
