bush period. the argument ultimately was -- they were under regulated and they had to be regulated again. our system allows for this constant debate. and so i don't worry about the same rhetoric reappearing because it's one of the patterns of american history. what i look at are the results. what is the end point of those debates. where did this take us? does it take us down the road of bitterness and division? in this case it's not good. or does it take us to a new consensus? when it takes us to a new consensus, it's just a system then working itself out. >> we've got kind of a two-party question here. -- two-part question. the caller said chalmers johnson. does that say anything to you about that man's politics. >> peter, that's not fair. because -- >> the second part of the question makes -- >> i'm going to be terribly optimistic, and i guess naive. but you know what, it's a book festival so this is an opportunity to be this way. people make the argument that readers only read to confirm their

bush administration. in my view, the effort to limit government i think i differ a bit here with the congressman, really begin to end in the summer of 1997. republicans in congress and elsewhere began, stopped believing that it was a winning political strategy to run on cutting back the federal government. and so they started looking for other alternatives. and during that period a number of evangelical conservative christians have been entering the republican party and affiliate with the republican party in increasing numbers but selecting one idea was that you can build a majority on that group. that led, i believe, in part to the impeachment in 1998, which as you may recall failed politically. and then thereafter, george w. bush, and is also is forgotten because there's so much history between us in 1998. george w. bush ran very explicitly as being the anti-gingrich, and to illustrate the, the anti-regular but certainly the anti-reagan who was the government. bush always talked about reagan's optimism

bush was a liberal. he started the slide into nationalized health care with his medicare prescription drug program, opening the door for that. he spent more money creating a bigger government than johnson's great society which also fail. those are not conservative values, and when you talk about this, you can talk all you want. americans now want the truth. we want the values that have helped our lives become good to manifest. republicans have destroyed that. they started it so of course barack obama is next. he is exactly the same-- and americans now realize way, it isn't about parties. who are these people? that is the question. who are these people and that is the question to ask when it comes your candid. >> this is live coverage of the los angeles times festival of books. tammy bruce is our guess. we have another 15 minutes before her first off the panel starts. greenwich, new jersey you have been very patient. you are on the air. >> high new jersey. >> he is watching the tv. >> greenwich we are try

[laughter] >> guest: he treated me like a son. avenues wonderful man. -- he was a wonderful man. he was a wonderful conversationist. my belief was we had lost with goldwater. we had gone with barry goldwater and we were wiped out, 38% of the vote. and i realized the country wasn't ready for goldwater conservatism. and of the two candidates running, nixon and romney, nixon was far superior in terms of talent, ability. he was a figure of history when i met him. he'd been, you know, involved in his case when i was 9 years old sore. -- or so. he did want to name conservative supreme court justices. he was badly misled in the people he named. he did want to -- you know, leave vietnam with honor. i think he would have preferred to win the war and so an awful lot of issues i think he agreed. but basically i don't think he was a goldwater conservative at all. >> host: do you have a problem with the bushes? >> guest: well, you

hine wick: there's nothing bush mr. heinrich: there's nothing more important that jobs, we've seen our stock market recover, we've seen housing starts come back and those kinds of indicators, but what really matters to the american people is jobs and that precipitous decline we saw in the run up to the horrible re-- horrible recession and the irresponsible activity we saw with housing marks and wall street and with the new rules put in place by this congress to jump start real jobs, where we design it in the united states, build it in the united states, install it in the united states and we put more people back to work and watching that line go up and up to where now we're finally adding jobs at the kind of rates we need to recover. mr. wasserman schultz: we want to talk -- ms. wasserman schultz: we want to talk about the choices we have over the next week an months. the choices the american people have continue to go in the direction where we're nurturing our economy and helping it or the direction the other side of t

if george bush -- if i had not had a meeting in the white house that i had with george bush when we discussed, and security matters after 9/11, if i had not experienced that meeting and experience the absolute stubbornness of the bush administration on that occasion, i would have left this place long ago. i never dreamed -- when i got elected, i thought i was a one- termer wonder. i did not think i would get reelected i could not dream of being lucky enough to spend 25 years here much less almost over 40. the fact is, i am just plain tired there have been very few people in american history who have served in this institution longer than i have. i think i need a change. my family needs me to have that change. i simply don't want to have to go through another reapportionment cycle. unless you have been for them, you don't know how time- consuming bay are and how frustrating they are and i have already given you my expression of love and affection for the procedures of the united states senate. i just don't have to deal with that stuff anymore. it is just that simple. >> [unintelligible] >> aft

and the bush administration. >> i love laura bush.he writes will be good to me. >> reporter: in spoken from the heart, she writes about her childhood, 9/11 and hurricane katrina and she claims she and her family were poisoned at a g- 8 summit but the biggest revelation talks about a car accident that killed her dear friend. the former first lady was behind the wheel on that fateful night in 1963. >> i think that took a lot of courage, but a lot of fearlessness, too. >> reporter: fans say because it was written by laura bush "spoken from the heart "will be a good read in mclean, lindsey masts is is 9 news now. >> former president bush has penned a memoir also and it is due out november 9th. it is called decision point. >>> good morning, welcome to 9 news now. it is wednesday, may 5th. it is cinco de mayo. let's begin with howard's forecast. he used the word spectacular a few

bush moments. top ten favorite george w. bush moments. here we go, number ten. oh.nine. >> if it feels good, do it. if you got a problem, blame somebody else. >> number eight. >> the issue of immigration stirs intense emotions. and in recent weeks americans have seen those emotions on display on the streets of major city cities -- >> number seven. number six. >> let there be a stable iran. iran that capable of rejecting iranian influence. i mean iraq. >> number five. >> i like to fish. >> number four. number three. number two. >> doing a better job of talking to each other. the left hand now knows what the right hand is doing.

bush. both of them used the same approach by cutting taxes and turned us out of a recession. you can see that on the first chart that we had. you can see that this recession that president bush inherited here, he had in 2001 -- you have lack delup luster job growth in 2002 and 2003 and then put policies of these tax cuts which he was able to get through the senate despite of the fact that we did not have 60 republican votes. we had tax cuts through the senate, capital gains, dividends and the death tax. when we got that through, you could see that the recovery followed. so that's the effective way. and i think it's not american even to be critical of a political party or somebody else's solution without proposing a better idea. and so certainly the better idea is cut taxes. that's what always works. it's worked in other economies and and other parts of the world as well. so here we have a little bit of a cartoon of what's going on. sometimes you have to laugh a little bit, even though it do

bush for us to accumulate late $5 trillion in debt. this congress and this administration unambiguously are tripling that number in a decade. i also found it sobering and kind of surprising that the gentleman from colorado a couple minutes ago -- and i wrote it down immediately -- said once we're back on our feet then we can talk about it, or words to that effect. once we're back on our feet then we can talk about cutting spending? it is this bloated budget that is the restraining influence on prosperity in this country. it is the hide bound orthodoxy on the other side that says we can borrow or spend our way into prosperity and that is a fool'ser rand. s the sink hole of self-absorps in this congress than -- of self-absorption in this congress than generation that tells us to spend, spend, spend. we need to get serious about cuts. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from california reserves the balance of her time. mr. dreier: how many speakers does the gentlelady have remaining? ms. slaughter: i have one

the effort was to attack president bush and undermine the support for president bush by challenging his position as commander in chief. and in doing so, it undermined our military in a time of war when their lives are on the line. and i asked the question, when someone in this house of representatives, let alone the speaker of the house of representatives speaks against a military operation, when they e that we ought to suck up our bats and go home from iraq and afghanistan, when they make that argument, what happens to an al qaeda terrorist in iraq and afghanistan and has the satellite dish on top. i have flown over those mud huts and i don't remember the exact number, but it was over 50% of those huts had a satellite dish on top of them. and these terrorists are making bombs, i.e.d.'s and planning to set these bombs up to detonate them against americans. and when americans are victims of this, we need to ask this question, what happens in the mind of that al qaeda terrorist that's sitting in that mud hult making that bomb, watching al-jazeera tv and sees the speaker speak up and oppos

like its reaction to the bush administration's failure on katrina.would be orgasmic, over the top. obama is basically getting a free pass. >> no, he's not. in fact, i was impressed with the president's remarks on friday when he said there's more than enough blame to go around and some of it is right here in the federal government because of this agency which has been out of control and not, cal, just under obama, but for a long, long time. but judy, if this had happened under the bush administration, i believe that all three networks would have been there permanently in louisiana covering every oily bird there and instead, it's one more story from washington. >> give it time. >> jon: when we come back, 3-d technology isn't just for the movies anymore. >> a new feature in playboy magazine may make some want to reach out and touch. that's next on news watch.

this was the end of the bush presidency. the big question was, conrad burns to have been a republican incumbent had gotten wrapped up in this jack abramoff story. suddenly he was being challenged by the guy who least looked like the united states senator. he was a farmer from montana. he is from the outskirts of big sandy. he had lost three fingers in an accident when he was a child on his farm. it became a question of whether democrats could take this seat. ipad a lot of attention to that race. i even julie went to montana. -- i paid a lot of attention to that race and eventually went to montana. one of the stores in the book is that he likes to say saved my life and i acknowledged that in the book because i left his farm and tried to get back to my hotel on a snow day. i went the wrong way down the road and got stuck in the snow. suddenly, i was looking around with nothing but snow piling up. eventually, i got out because john tester in his tractor came and pulled out my car and sent me on my way. >> did you spend time in

bush and george w. bush, who both of whom you have problems with? >> guest: well, richard nixon was my mentor. [laughter] richard nixon from 66 to 67 treated me like a son. he was a wonderful man and if you knew him well and he trusted you he was a wonderful conversationalist. my belief then was we had lost with goldwater. we had gone with barry goldwater had wiped out 38% and i realize the country wasn't ready for cold water conservatism and of the two candidates running nixon and romney nixon was far superior in terms of talent and ability and a figure of history when i met him he had been involved in his case when i was 9-years-old or so and second, there was a -- he did want -- she did want to name six conservative supreme court justices. he was badly misled on the people that he named. he did want -- leave the mom with donner. so on a lot of issues i think that he agreed but basically i don't think that he was a goldwater conservative at all. >> host: do you have a problem with the bush's? >> guest: i think they have a problem with me. george b

here we see when george bush -- in january, 2008, bush begins to lose jobs. and they very clearly go down to hit the very bottom when we see december, 2008, january, 2009. what we see during the obama administration is a steady climb back up from the abyss. we've even seen positive job growth for a few months very recently. this is an important fact to point out in the very beginning because as we talk about who ran the economy into the ditch, it's very clear that our republican colleagues managed that on their own and it's democrats who have steered the american economy back to a point of safety. let me also say this. when it comes to financial deregulation, and, of course, tonight we are going to be talking about the wall street reform act and about accountability. the fact is is that it was during the bush administration that the climb on foreclosures began, and we saw 2.8 million people face foreclosure in the very -- last year we've seen folks and we have not -- foreclosures and we have not seen an anti-predatory lending. they did not do anything about f

and look, i don't care if bush calls a bl bubonic plague and flood. i don't care what it is. can blame bush for everything you want but right now we are in a dilemma and we are bailing out the state. $144 billion has gone to states out of the stimulus fund, $50 billion short this year. another $180 billion is going next year. we are dealing with liquidity, not dealing with the solvency. just like in greece. the massive underfunding of pension pensions, the states are not paying in pension. they are robbing peter to pay paul and the states are absolutely bankrupt. there is not an answer by the administration or by anybody else dealing with this. they are going to try to bail them out but it's solvency, not liquidity. >> cheryl: tracy, do you agree with john we're daling out the states in some, shape, form already? is that correct? >> absolutely. we have been all along. the only difference between us and greece right now is we're making an attempt to make changes. we are not seeing it out of greece at all. we're not seeing the greeks make any change whatsoever, except for prote
