[applause] steve: thanks for putting this program together. let me start beginning on this book, which is the spring of 2008, president bush called in his chief of staff and said, whoever follows me in this office has a big challenge. we have a war in iraq, afghanistan, the terrorism threat. that was before we were headed into the worst financial and economic crisis since the great depression. what the president told josh come he wanted the upcoming transition to be the best transition in history. in some sense it was not hard. when -- came in as president car

some blamed the bush clan, especially. if you remember that bush and salem bin. laden consolidated, brother. bin laden herself had a jointly founded oil and gas exploration company in texas and, to sum up, fresco will hold the floor of the senator and his sons grandson george sr. george jr. became presidents. another grandson of his. jebush, 8 years was the governor of florida. and later headed the bankrupt bank lemon brothers, we note. these are just the biggest jobs. we are talking about tribalism, but now it is very well known. this is in the ears and great-grandfather. this is both father and son. that is, they all had a very big impact. well, father and son , we are talking about this. yes, those were presidents murals - this is bush's father, the senior senator, in my opinion, was a senator. and, if we are talking about jeva bush, he was the governor from florida, and he was just recounting the votes for his brother. well, maybe without it. on this family, too, there is nowhere to put klima about the infamous list of clintons. we have repeatedly told the wh

kate bush, legend! that would be amazing if _ even kate bush. kate bush, legend! stage right there. in terms of comparing to the last few years, particularly after the pandemic, what is the atmosphere like at glastonbury? i pandemic, what is the atmosphere like at glastonbury?— like at glastonbury? i think this is auoin to like at glastonbury? i think this is going to be _ like at glastonbury? i think this is going to be a _ like at glastonbury? i think this is going to be a really _ like at glastonbury? i think this is going to be a really special - like at glastonbury? i think this is. going to be a really special evening tonight, because it is sir elton john's final uk tour date. it is the last day of his farewell tour. he has said that before, i do have to say, but we are told this is it, this will be at. this morning i was walking in front of the main stage at around walking in front of the main stage ataround 9am, walking in front of the main stage at around 9am, and there were 15 people already getting the best seats in the house. they started queueing at f

there was a quince somewhere, but i see a bush, there is a small bush and there are more and not onlyably, around the lake the quince grows better than a lemon, even now it is blooming beautifully. what flowers, just amazing this bush, here, it seems to be small . no one takes care of him from such a small bush. grows a whole beautiful one. here is a natural untouched, uncircumcised, you take large yellow fruits and cut them into tea. eh, it's such a flavor. here you feel, this is our orekhovskaya land, this is our nature. this is our belarusian beauty in general. well, nothing compares to any. there, with foreign resorts, here you rest your soul so much, it seems, in this wilderness. eh, borderlands, it seems.

bush was watching and john and james wilson. who arguably have far more influence as you say on the constitution itself and some of the actual delegates are less well known and we'll explore that. of course the conversation naval marcus you've written about so many of the early justices, but i want to ask you about james wilson. you have a great piece on wilson as a justice. he was among the most important delegates to the convention who came up with the idea that we the people of the united states as a whole our sovereign and yet his influence on the court was less dramatic among other things because of his deaths and he had a dramatic personal and i'll let you tell the story on. why did you choose to write about wilson? and what was he like as a justice? i didn't write about wilson we have about three pages on james wilson in our eight volumes. you know. specifically on james wilson, but he is a very interesting person and he came from scotland. in 1765 and then very quickly got involved in revolutionary activities in the 70s.

bush invaded iraq. the administration made a range of arguments for invading, but president bush's speech announcing the war made clear that the war was necessary because americans, quote, will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder. we will meet that threat now so that we do not have to meet it later with armies and firefighters and police and doctors on the streets of our cities. that illusion to the attacks of september 11th was not a coincidence. import members of the bush national security team had been thinking about iraq since the afternoon of september the 11th. some others, even before september the 11th. as the pentagon smoldered that afternoon, a memo from secretary of defense donald rumsfeld announced the, quote, need to move swiftly, near term target needs go massive. sweep it all up. things related and not. best info fast. judge whether this is good enough to hit saddam hussein at the same time. not only osama bin laden, and quote. th

he said three days after 9/11 he was with president bush when president bush called tony blair, then prime minister of britain, bush told blair on the phone we are going to attack iraq. three days after 9/11. and bear -- and blair was apparently stunned. blair became one of the biggest advocate for the war. but at the time he was apparently stunned. he asked bush if we had a link between the two. trace that back, we can talk about why it happened, all of the pretext obviously was afterwards. it was not done -- it was merely pretext as we have come to known and -- come to know and later this idea that we came to spread democracy in the middle east with something that we came to after it was discovered that weapons of mass destruction were not there. i would like to talk about what we scholars, what jessica said, scholars didn't do enough, we did white a bit. we placed an ad that i helped organize in the new york times in early september 2002 the ad said a war with iraq is not in america's interest. we laid out the reasons why, it was signed by 30 prominent realists around the country.

summer i believe that no george w bush exit and type ballistic missile tree. and that was important because the united states was planning at the time to try to develop and type ballistic missile systems that would, would frankly post a threat to russia. but then came a lot of conspiracy, thinner ones out there that it says that the united states and supplying that off. but that's not the case of this was, this was a pure combination of bureaucratic incompetence, arrogance hubris. and then the bush administration immediately pivoted and made combating terrorism, the number one priority, and then anything that was done done by anybody who was supporting terrorism in any way. but if we campus, you know, united states policy at that point, what completely off the rails. so i would note that in november of 2000 november 7th, i believe was a precise date. milton bear with me, the former chief of station, and for this latter years, and i will put together an offer yet. and that off with a note of that whoever was the next president because it was still a dispute whe
