bush. tom delay, dick armey, guys with texas twangs. >> host: what's wrong with that? >> guest: well, ray -- ronald reagan and barack obama both have been able to find the middle of american political life and maybe it's a midwester sensibilities. i'm notxactly sure what it is but we just can't be confined to the south. you know, why did ronald reagan offend so many people in europe? because at the time even thoughe was rht and was proven right and i think he freed about 100 billion europeans there was that cowboy swagger that scare th. even reagan who i never saw that in him. george w. bush ha that swagger. same with delay and sort of, and it just doesn't translate well in new england. >> host: get -- let's get to the book. i have million questions but let me preface it with this. when you were a young one coming up when you were a young man living in florida at some pointsou became political. you made a decision to be a conservative. you made a decision to be a republican or you started y

david: as big time a spender as bush was, this spending is making bush look like a piker. >> that is not correct. we need to spend a moment thinking how we got the big deficit, and only 7% to 10% is obama. the rest is bush is crazy war in iraq, misfwoidguided financial m and things like the medicare drug spending bill. obama inherited this. he is doing his best. if you like the review, on friday barney frank said he will back ron paul's investigation. federal reserve and how they spend. it is not what obama is doing. david: i'm thinking of the trillion dollar programs. the stimulus was close to a trillion. medical close to a trolling. global warming. this is on a scale that we have not seen before. >> and it does surpass bush's spending. and unfortunately bush did spend a lot of money and i like what steve has said. the government has been spending like drunken sailors and when have you said that but the issue is -- sailors spend their own money. >> that was my punch line. but you are right. we have fallen through the looking glass. what i like is how the president is saying he's spe

bush as a legacy of 9/11. what's your thought there? how do you respond to that? >> other than the consequences of the cost of the iraqi war, i don't agree with that statement. this started in '99 when we tried to get everyone to own a home and lored credit standards. greenspan lowered interest rates post 9/11, appropriately so. and we went to speculative excess. >> let me take a quick break. you guys are going to come right back. let's not forget, folks. we are in a rip snorting bull market. stocks are up about 4% this week alone. however, the sinking dollar is getting to be a larger and larger problem. the dollar down at its worst level in a year. six consecutive days. gold prices up. one question is, is this a deliberate government policy coming from the white house, the treasury and the fed? we will be right back. this is "the kudlow report." . >>> gold climbed to a new high today. sharon epperson joins now with new details. >> many have been attracted to gold. they're looking at debt levels, quantitative

bush. as i said repeatedly, president bush planted the seeds. and all president obama did is come along with a sack of fertilizer and a bottle of water to make it flourish. and then surround himself with these whack nuts, these czar nuts that he's got around him. >> mark, here's the difference. >> doing what they can to disrespect the people that pat bills. >> here's the different. when we speak about the issue, it's amazing. when i get the e-mails from people, we can talk about the president picking who should win the super bowl and then race is injected. race oftentimes is attached to this president. not just in terms of people out there speaking. you begin to read blogs -- >> where did you see this? where did you see this? >> one second. i often -- i get tons of e-mail every day. i respond to people and say wait a minute, how did you jump to the issue of race? >> you're better than al sharpton and jesse jackson. >> mark, excuse me. i'm making a broader point. that is i'm not in denial ab

opposed much of bush's domestic agenda. and so when i look -- and meanwhile, you say that a sure sign of dogmatism and bultural enmity is is when people start believing in secret cadres. a piece was run saying that who cares if there are people in the administration who believe in truthism? who cares if they believe their own government conspired to kill 3,000 of their own citizens in the greatest domestic attack in american history because that's just, you know, that's trivial. and that, it seems -- and this is the same magazine that ran in 2002 the cover saying in praise of bush hatred. so it see when you look at the actual landscape out there, it is far easier to find examples of conservatives extending an olive branch. barack obama'seen far more partisan than george bush ever was. and it is liberals who because they see themselves as a movement will not accept it. and as a strategy for political or philosophical or other kinds of success to say that conservatives should abandon be their enemy of movementism in the spiri

bush -- he will continue to fight, very similarly, if not the exact same way, george w. bush did. obama will be strong and he will continue to fight. when he needs to take action, he is already listening to the generals and military, perhaps even more so than our former president. so, again, obama will continue to fight and republicans should get behind this president because he is not afraid to fight these guys. thank you for c-span. host: scott, what do you think of some of the measures that have been taken here domestically, some of the patriot act measures, some of our airline security measures? caller: i think it is all common sense. in new york city, we see the hercules guys at the top level police force. all of a sudden, they are here, they are there. bloomberg is doing a very good job. you get the sense of security in new york city. but i cannot state again that democrats are fighters when we need -- but i can't not state again that democrats are fighters when we need to date. obama will continue to fight the fight and listen to the general, and he will listen to the milit

you will see some of the more interestindefenses early on bush's first years in government. a kind of new deal republicanism in what did david brooks describes well so thi notion of bush as accommodating, a democratic or liberal ideas is absolutely sound early on. i think what happened with george bush and with the iraq war and you know i quote benjamin disraeli on the danger of exploiting democracy. he was alarmingly d infuriatingly young about the dangers ofupporting democracies to lands run by despotic praise only demint catholics. i think the problem came with george bush who was by the way as easily as often and as on fairly demonized by liberals as president obama is by the conservatives, no question about that and i would not defend any of those attacks on him. is that's-- there is a great piece in the new yorker that said that e bush adminiration treated journalists as if they were a special-interest group. easy chrissie, the lack of candor shall we say about the lead up to the war in iraq. these are consequential things, and they seem rooted in what i call the revan

greta: the truth is, with president bush, what bush said, it was important for students.dan got cut from the high school team, and both were saying something inspiring. >> a lot of the conservatives who had reservations about this obama speech, after they read it, after it was released yesterday, and when it was delivered today, they did not have any objections. the objections to the obama speech was the education materials that the education department said, asking students to write an essay about what they can do to help the president. greta: and that came before the speech, and once they read it, they backed off. in 1991, after president bush gave his speech, "the washington post" whacked him, and then they started an investigation. >> it became something about that. we will rush out to see the washington post online to see if they are hypocrites, whether they give this president the same treatment they gave president bush 41 for talking to students. by wrenn, thank you. it is a great story. up next, former governor rod blagojevich is talking -- byron, thank you. and l

sean: george bush was called every name in the book.r by harry reid and john kerry and ted kennedy and john murtha and nancy pelosi. a big fire storm this week over congressman wilson. he called him a liar. he was right and president was wrong about immigration. the question i have, is this just feigned outrage by democrats this week? >> you are right, there was a lack of outrage at all of the ad hominem attacks against president bush when i was there. i worked on the house floor, i worked for the president. there is legitimate criticism of the obama's beach, and it was very political. he contributed to a partisan atmosphere in the chamber, which i do not think was appropriate, but as wilson said himself -- sean: the apologized. none of these democrats have apologized. and the media did not call him out. >> what good would it do? they still are after him. they want him grovelling, and they still will not accept it. but look, and he should not have done it, and those of us defending him could say that, but the minute the speech was over,

bill: what could bush or obama do if russia, china, france, out?e not going to help >> they could stop the flow of imported gasoline into iran. we could declare a blockade. but secondly -- bill: but then there would be war declared. >> the world bank, -- i am sorry. the import-export bank, directly controlled by obama, gave an indian for the office -- operates an oil refinery in to buy a load of $500 million to expand, and they are a source of one-third of their gasoline. bill: when did that happen? >> it happened under bush and is continuing under obama, and we can stop that expansion. bill: i am not arguing with you that either president has done enough to stop iran on its crazy course, but i am saying that the world has no will. most people at that united nations speech today, are more than happy to accept iran having a nuclear weapon. >> because ultimately, ultimately, and i am saying this as someone of jewish heritage, they do not particularly care about jewisrael being wiped off the face of the map. bill: they are going to do this elsewhere.

many of these czars are holdovers from the bush administration.ast nine or ten have been already confirmed by the united states senate. so i think this is just -- president obama has reached out to get people to come back into government. ambassador holbrook, to help on very important policy issue. afghanistan, the middle east. i think the members of congress should focus on what shethese so-called policy people are doing to help the country and get away from the politics. >> i remember bill bennett, our contributor, and he was the drug czar in a republican presidency. he wasn't confirmed by the senate. >> historically what has happened is when we created czar, an energy czar under nixon and obviously a drug czar, we created cabinet posts after that. bill ended up being a cabinet officer. energy became a department. i just argue that you're really overlapping. a president is entitled to whoever he wants. my issue is not what the senate's issue is. but i think to a certain extent you're filling up the old executive office building with a whole bunc

bush is telling tales and now taking fire from both parties.att lat latimer writes after one of canada's blistering speeches about the bush administration, the former president said, quote, this is a dangerous world. this cat isn't remotely qualified to handle t this guy has no clue, i promise you." and lat latimer writes that they bonded with former president bill clinton and former president bill clinton called bush alt the white house and talked about obama about the primaries against hillary, and quotes president bush as saying as the number two men on the democratic ticket, if bull blank was currency, joe biden would be a billionaire and on jimmy carter's ad hoc middle east efforts, president bush is quoted as saying, if i'm 82 and acting like, that have someone put me away. the book has ruffled are feghtders in both parties. dana perino tells fox loyalty is a prized value. beware of the quiet guy in the room. former clinton aide james carville says of latimer, i think this tweeb r. dweeb needs to be glove slapped. finally, an upcoming boo

bush. he says, george w. bush is no conservative. he said conseatives, whether we like it or not, we conservatives are chained to reality, which that is out on on edmund burke. if you want to boil that message down, it ishat we are part of our time. we are chain to reality. we came to inaugural addresses-- you risbeck reality. you don't as buckley said of bush you don't go into iraq and say we are going to bring democracy to these people and they are going to throw flowers that us and everything is being going to be okay. you don't give inaugural addresses were you say we are going into tyranny on the globe, the president's words. that is utopianism. that is wilsonian. so, the last best hope. >> host: it certainly is aggressivelso. aggressive. >> guest: as you said the mission ineiationlso but here is the dl. one of the reasons republicans are having such a hard time right now is they are being told at some republicans are thinking, we have lost power because we haven't been conservative en

bush presidential." thanks for coming back on the show.ou. >> great to be with you. >> so no rick perry at the secession event after his big splash at the tea parties this spring why do you think he didn't show up? >> i think this is an object lesson and be careful what you ask for because you may ask for secession and then you end up with the lunatic fringe on the capitol steps calling for you to do something about it. clearly, rick perry is trying to divide the field here. on the one hand he wants to talk about secession and states rights and the tenth amendment and state sovereignty to fan the flames of the right wing of his party for re-election. on the other hand, he doesn't want to position himself so that just normal conservative republicans think he is too closely aligned with the kooks. >> what are the political risks there in terms of seeming too politically aligned with the kooks? is it possible to seem that way right now in republican politics in texas? is it possible to seem too extreme and that be the reason you lose a republ

president bush, president clinton, president bush 41, president reagan had one, but why is this being handled by different cabinets? >> i think in some cases, it is justifiable. for example, after hurricane katrina, president bush appointed a katrina czar. greta: well what about fema? >> we had seen that many agencies such as fema did not measure up. it was temporary. they created a katrina czar that could look across agencies and try to solve problems, and then when that need went away, that tsar went away. greta: for an emergency? these are emergencies? >> no, we still have a drug czar, which we have had for decades. again, it is not just senator feingold. it is senator byrd from west virginia. he has complained for a long time about how that is usurping senate authority. so it is a concern, and i think the reason is getting so much attention now is that there are so many of them. we now have by our count at fox news 32 of them, so it is sort of reaching critical mass, so we have had czars in the past. i do not know that we have had this many. i think they may end up providing a min

when judge bush won it was contested. -- when george bush won. people eventually came back and got together again, they did not allowed to protest initially when he got elected. these people are just angry. they're getting tax cuts. 99% of the people are getting tax cuts in their checks every week. it is not about tax cuts. what i want -- and one of pretax is for these wars. you have a group of people, most of whom are white people of a certain age. -- one of these i do not want to pay taxes for is these wars. host: this is from the philadelphia paper. he also campaigned in minneapolis on health care yesterday. next is chris on the republican line from tampa. caller: good morning. great, i really want to thank c- span for covering the full extent of the rally, beginning at 1:00 p.m. host: is also posted on our website, c-span.org. caller: it was excellent coverage and none of the other news media covered it at all. i do believe there were far more people than 75,000. i would like to ask one question. i saw that you highlighted an article and i on

that has snt the conceit of the bush administration fr the start. you'll never get the truth out of them and never stop the attack. i am not sure at all thais ue because if youook back, we have convicted the al eda members that were involved in the embassy bombing cases servinmultiple life sentences and also the trial transcripts were a gold mine of information about al qaeda of thugged government learned about everything and also witnesses at were in witness relocation programs were hing with future tax and who is to and that kind of thing and they have bought te convictions compared to the ad hoc system that was put together inhe days after 9/11 by the bush a administration. nobody has yet been convicted we have a guilty plea from david hicks and he served a coue of months. >> host: parsed of the argument is we need to have them and not have access of a lawyer to g what you can out of them. >> that is the argument buthe fbwill say if you want to get good information you have to give them an ientive to talk and tell the truth. if you torture, they

bush and senator john mccain. he's now president of the public strategies and contributor to the daily beat. thank you very much for coming back on the show. >> thank you, rachel. i'm running point out here on the partisan control and i had to blow the whistle today on the daily beast. it's insane when a united states president can't deliver a simple speech to the students of this country without everybody going absolutely berserk, and you know, i think it's bad for the country. but i also think it's bad for the republican party. it makes us out to be incredibly partisan and out of touch, and i think that if anybody actually saw that speech today, they'd recognize that this is great for the kids of this country. >> well, you know, some of the people who had called the speech indoctrination said after they saw the text of it, hey, that's sort of a good speech. i'm thinking specifically of the chairman of the florida republican party, who had been very outspoken about this. i wonder if there is a political cost for

bush.me for the assistant secretary for international afars and special representative for border affairs in the department of homeland security. the job the right is now calling the science czar, that's the director of the white house office of science and technology policy, the regulatory czar is the nickname for the head of the office of information and regulatory affairs. which is an office that was created back in 1980. so take your pick, america. either these are the czars who are turning america into imperialist russia, as emily latella might say, or these are people with specific policy jobs and long awkward job titles. so the press calls them czars. even though they're not actually 19th century russian autocrats. bush and cheney created administration jobs that were created the food safety czar, the cybersecurity czar, aforementioned regulatory czar and they created a bird flu czar and a manufacturing czar and more. and the right did not freak about those. but president obama? clea

bush tick then a drop. i want to know, do you think -- what do you think of the economic policies of ronald reagan which then were just repetitive in the h.w. administration and clinton and george w. bush and obama. they are pretty much all the same caliber. do you disagree with that? guest: well, you are covering a lot of ground and during all of those years, all of those administrations, we had -- we are covering a lot of ground, but i think what is very important is that you say here is that we have to be on our toes to be forward-looking in terms of the paradigm as you phrased it that we adopt. to go back to the earlier question on the g-20 is a very dangerous point in that not just in the u.s. but abroad we can call too early a victory and what i want to reiterate and leave with all of you behind is that this is a global crisis and none of the policy makers in place -- none of them in the united states or abroad -- have dealt with a global crisis because we haven't had one since the 1930's. so, we do f
