in this case, the bush white house, they were living in a kind of time warp, they couldn't believe ach of guys beards in caves in afghanistan would blow up the world trade center. as it is put to me, they thought terrorists people who blow stuff up during the day and stay up all night drinking champagne. >> there were people in which you pointed out, trying to get that message to the national security council so i think it's one of the things that haven't quite learned and we need to reflect on. as you so well say the war on government. another part in the book, every director time and time again has to be iran almost always in crisis situations or more than once crisis situation. soleimani and others. i don't know how to ask this but i want to know, where do you think and what period of time do think we have the best understanding of and relationship with aaron? >> we certainly have a very close relationship with the wrong guy in iran. that's one of my favorite chapters in the book because it happened on his watch has cia director but it was arguably the greatest intelligence failur

and in this case in the case of the bush white house, frankly, they were living in a kind of time warp. they just couldn't believe that a bunch of guys with beards in caves in afghanistan were going to blow up the world trade center. as black put it to me memorably, he said they thought terrorist were a bunch of euro lefties can stay up all night and champagne and blow stuff up during the day. that was the '70s mentality. >> but there were people as you pointed out, tried to get that message to the national security council and the president. i think it's one of the things we have quite ignored as the country yet and we need to reflect on, as you say so welcome the war on government. another threat that goes through the book, and this is less abstract, is iran. every director time and time again has to deal with iran almost always in a crisis situation or more than one crisis situation, right? the iran-contra, now soleimani, and others. i don't know exactly ask a question but it what you know, like where do you think and to what peter you get think we had the best understanding of . of

bush's white house staff and a member of two gop presidential campaigns. john, your reaction to another trump official apparently being diagnosed with coronavirus. >> team trump has been a hot zone. the white house seems to be going for a form of herd immunity. it is troubling to see rudy walking around the georgia state capitol at a time when he might have been maximally infectious because the radius of damage could be great. as you know, many folks know, i worked for rudy for many years. i was his speechwriter, and worked on capitol hill where margaret and i met. i care about him as a person, and everyone should wish anyone who gets covid well. he's been behaving recklessly and i'm concerned there's going to be a radius of damage as a result of his actions. >> margaret, before you chime in, i want to ask john a quick follow-up because you know rudy personally. he's 76 years old. that makes him at higher risk just given his age. do you know if he has other health issues that would make him at even greater risk? >> he had a well publized bout with prostate

white house. we had wonderful projects with mrs. bush in the lincoln bedroom, green room, the library. at camp david the same is often true. the first lady will make a few changes. they came into a military government issue, and this would not due, so the camp quickly became colored in green, yellow, and pink. she brought in a navy reserve decorator to transform the lace. that's why the cabins got their name after the trees. aspen was given to the president's cabin. so it bake the aspen lodge.

bush white house, and msnbc analyst. zerlina you first, the president's comments on the massive cyber attack what do you make of that and mike pompeo saying russia is behind it. why can the president not say that? >> the first thing i thought, alex, when i heard russia had attacked so many entities in the united states, private and government, is that this is the president that said, russia, if you're listening, why don't you go hack hillarys emails and try to find the so-called missing emails? so the russia, if you're listening, president, he isn't going to say that russia is behind a hack when he was the one asking them to hack. in 2016. ever since he's been essentially a putin apologist, always siding with the russian president, and even in helsinki. i think that all of this has been troubling since the beginning. since that moment he said, russia if you're listening. i remember at the time it was shocking not just because it seemed as if you had an american president asking a foreign entity, adversary to attack anoth

joined by emily, a legal writer with the "new york times" magazine david from "the atlantic" and bush white house and the president's ceo of the national women's law center. good evening all. emily, i make the point about both things because some of this is absurd, it's laughable, it is beneath words and yet, other parts of it are deadly serious particularly if they were closer in the states and they were able to get away with this. your views about what we're seeing when i call this beroek failed stage of the trump 2020 effort. >> i think you're right that it's the later stages. it's going on for an incredibly long time. i can't believe how long it's been going on and, you know, the trump campaign raised $200 million since the election for whatever comes next, the political action committee clearly and whatever political activities trump plans for when he leaves office. so i think a lot of what we're looking at here is that fundraising machine, rather than a kind of serious legal effort. >> david? >> yeah, there's a lot of talk how much impact this show will have on the vote in georgia. i

bush white house for eight years and dr. ashish jha. you just heard what she said about the new variant in colorado. what is your reaction? >> first of all, thank you for having me on. i think this strain probably has been around for a while. obviously the person in colorado doesn't have a travel history, did not get it directly from the uk, picked it up in the community. that means other people in colorado have it. and there's no reason to think it's somehow confined to colorado. it's really an issue that we have not been doing gentlemen nomic surveillance in the way the uk and other countries have been. we've got to step up and be looking for these kinds of things. much easier to track it if you're looking for it than to be surprised by it. >> it seems to be a pattern where we feed had to step up. testing being one of them as well. dr. reiner, he's con iffident t vaccine will work. when it comes to the vaccine, the numbers don't lie. nearly 2.6 million vaccine doses given, a far cry from the 20 million that had been promised. the head

bush white house and state department. thank you all for being here. table here. the likelihood, one, of congress tomorrow following through and passing the $2,000 increase in stimulus funding for every american that the president wants, and the idea that the president -- it will pass and the president will actually sign it, starting with shawna. >> i think that it is unlikely that congress can get it done by tomorrow. inside of congress there was a lot of back and forth about this number before. there are a lot of republicans who don't want to put out that large of a check, you know. there are still a few people who care in the republican party about fiscal conservatism and so that was part of the conversation. i don't see how they get that together that fast. and what that means is if the president follows through -- and he hasn't actually promised to veto it, but if he follows through on just waiting, as you pointed out, the government shuts down very early in the morning on tuesday. doesn't mean that people will necessarily stop working, but they w

i was the vice president's chief of staff in the first bush white house, and i remember dan quayle presiding in 1993 and announcing the election of the ticket that defeated us and quale. al gore presided over his own defeat, so to speak. dick cheney did the same thing in 2009 -- he hadn't run, of course, but announcing the victory of barack obama, and joe biden in january of 2017 announced the victory of donald trump and mike pence. it's very important -- not very important, it's important as a symbolic matter and, you know, just a kind of reaffirmation of how proud we are that we have a peaceful and orderly transfer of power in this country, from one legitimate administration to the next. i very much hope -- i expect vice president pence to do the same thing vice president gore did. there will maybe be some troublemaking attempts among republican house members, maybe senators. they have the right to make certain objections, they might delay things a couple of hours. i think very important that vice president pence, whatever donald trump thinks, sit there and behave in the same appropriate a

bush white house and state department. an impulse, there is a reflex among senate republicans that they think they could move straight ahead with trashing without acknowledging that joe biden is the president. >> i think there is this idea that trump could just be excused. co be easily forgotten. he could be -- we're going to move along and it will be in some sense business as usual. but that is just not the case when you have such extreme degradation like trump has participated in over the last four years. and it is not just going to be easily brushed away when he tried to destroy the underpinning of the democracy and americans' rule of law. and it is outrageous that we're at this point where so many republicans seem to think that they can go back to business at usual. >> well, tim miller, it begs this question, what about trump, are they ready to move on from if they cannot yet acknowledge the result of the 2020 election? >> yeah, they can't move on. they like to pretend like they can. politico was asking about 2024 and

i not only navigated newsrooms where i was the only, but iing iffed out capitol hill, the bush white house, and bore witness to some of the most historic events in our country. for 20 years i made a way. i was a control room producer, a field producer, an executive producer, and i even got to run a bureau roar at b.e.t. networks. i founded a morning news letter that reached tens of thousands of people across the country that fell on the radar of one you might be familiar with, one miss joy-ann reid. i offered a journey in cable news. i taughtdid a fellowship at har and just around that time, see car conde, also a pioneer as the first latino man to chair nbcuniversal news group envisioned a newsroom that looked like america, and he began to build a home for you and for me. and so here we are. we're creating a news home in a country where the majority of americans under 16 are people of color. they're asian-americans, pacific islander, hispanics, latinos, native americans, african-americans, and those of multi-ethnic backgrounds. as the world of capable news prepares to turn the page f

i will quickly add, in the bush cheney white house, the speech writer for the president for more than half the administration was a senior policy adviser. so he had real standing on the white house staff. that was a good influence because he was very good at what he did. >> -- widen the circle of people who care about something. i was there when they were trying to pass health care and that was important because he spoke on it a lot, we really had to persuade people in congress, and people indifferent states to not only approve this law, but to sign off. we end up going through all of the letters that president obama received dozens of letters, and read ten every night, including from people who are saying i am dealing with this issue, this is why this is important, so we will tell a lot of the stories as a way to tell why this matters and who is going to make a difference for. >> thank you. >> my good friend just basically put a much more eloquent version of the question i had. i'm in a bit of a scramble right now but if i was schiff the prospect of a little bit on how you as a speec

bush white house and state department and donna edwards, columnist to "the washington post" and an msnbcibutor. donna, what do you think? >> well, you know i'm of mixed mind. if i were just deciding tor myself, i probably wouldn't give them the vaccine. but for continuity of congress, it is important for every member to be vaccinated. we're going into a year at beginning of the year, where important decisions need to be made, choosing a speaker of the house and then the elections in georgia and down to legislation in advance of joe biden taking the oath of office. i also think it is important for them to demonstrate even if they're late comers the importance of taking the vaccine and the importance of continuing to wear mask wearing and not joke about it. this is no joke. people are dying. and we need to make sure that we get all of our front line workers vaccinated. i'm worried about whether we'll have enough vaccine in enough time to make sure we're fully vaccinated across the country. >> you know, elise, i think donna put it perfectry but the problem is they've been such jerks so it m

bush , into the white houth 537 votes in orida making the fference, but he also had a booming economybubig projected et surpluses, a republican congress, and a much less polarized politicaclimate. after september 11, a strong hunger for national unit strengthened bush' political hand. barack obama took the oath in the midst the great recession, with 600,000 jobs lost in just his first month. but big democratic majorities in congress gave pom just enough itical muscle to get his recovery plan-- and his affordable healthcare act-- into law. but for joe biden, there is trouble on every front. he will take office when wter is at its worst, making the pandemic dangers especially severe. even his inaugural will have none of the celebratory trademarks of that event. even if vaccines become available in the spring, the virus's economic impact will cloud his first months, with countless families struggling to find food, save their homes, grapple with the challenges of remote schools. on the political front, biden will have a house with a razor- thin democratic majority anda senate that will be at b

especially when we did the second ones at the white house. and mrs. bush will recall on the second one when the president, i went up early in the morning, he had his sunglasses, and ball cap, on maria said he was in the hallway, i took a peek, i said sir, i'm ready. i said the glasses. he said shush. he said we are speaking -- sneaking out, i don't want bonnie to. now i did want to say just get into the elevator. in the elevator he said nick, you know like chill, i was like if i don't know if i could do any more of these because this was the second one. the planning was when you are secretly doing it. when there were secret service people we couldn't share information with, let alone folks on the detail. it wasn't a want to, know it was a need to know. we had to safely, successfully take the president out, so that the president could fulfill his mission. that i want to go there? of course not. but that's not what we are all about. the president was adamant. as you know, we agreed to three hours on the ground. we've got three and a half to four. the preside

but as outgoing vice president, gore welcomed bush to the white house in the transition period and applauded his rival on inauguration day. gore went on to live one of your dreams, mr. president. he ran a television network and even won an emmy award, something you've what kind about never accomplishing. but maybe you need a republican example. the last one-term president was george h.w. bush. when it became clear that bill clinton defeated him in 1992, he welcomed the clintons to the white house and attended inauguration in clear support of the will of the people and a peaceful transition of power. and when ronald reagan ended jimmy carter's bid for a second term in 1980, the carters welcomed the reagans to the white house and attended the inauguration. do you see a pattern, mr. president? the losers of the elections behaved that actual adults, accepting their loss with dignity and were welcomed back into polite society as respected statesmen. if that's not enough for you, we'll go all the way back to 1960 and the election between john f. kennedy and richard nixon. kennedy, of course, defea

he ran a campaign for ronald reagan for george hw bush and yet ronald reagan chose him to be his whitese chief of staff. and he was seen as probably the most successful person at that job of this modern time. how did he do it? >> that is a great question because he didn't really have a background that would necessarily suggest he was going to be successful. he had been a lawyer up until he ended up running gerald ford's campaign in 1976 coming in from nowhere after watergate and at that point the previous group had been sent off and opened up a world for people like jim baker, dick cheney, brenda scowcroft and a whole generation of people who kind of came to the floor. in his case, an example of seeing what made sense for him outside coming into washington but he wanted to get things done so the organizational skills and as you said i can't think of another president who ran not only once but two campaigns as the chief of staff ended up being a smart choice on his part. >> what was that quality in jim baker that made him successful and he went on to become treasury secretary and pulled

bush white house and state departments elise jordan.tein and professor at princeton university eddie glaude jr. so, john, let's start off here, top stories roulette. we have whether the senate is going to take up the house passed increase for coronavirus stimulus checks to $2,000. there is, of course, reporting behind what caused trump to finally sign that relief bill in the first place. it seemed his pivot was helped by some divots, thanks, alex for that line. meanwhile, we are one week away from the georgia senate runoff elections, and now there is yet another farfetched lawsuit to overturn the results of the 2020 election. this time a republican congressman is suing, of all people, mike pence. and finally, president joe biden is accusing the trump administration of hampering the transition. so many directions that we could go this morning. i think i am focused quite a bit on just what a tough spot republicans are in here with this stimulus check question. but i know you have, obviously, been covering the biden transition very careful

bush. and i remember we wondered down to the white house, just to see what was going on there.here's a few hundred people shouting i don't even remember about what, and maybe around 3 am we got back to my office, turned on the tv and it turned out bush hadn't won after all. it was gonna be what looked like a long contest. just the drama, the ups and downs. that nights stuck with me. and then that final day or two, when the cases argued undecided. even after it was decided there was that window. we think of the case having been halted the process, it altered the recount as the florida supreme court and ordered it. it remanded the case, and a lot for another recount. and the florida supreme court would have had a change what they said about the 12, being the deadline. granted that was not a big window, but we didn't know until the next morning, whether gore was going to pursue. it i just remember having the feeling at that time, oh no, i've been barely able to stand up to 36 days of this, in might go further. i don't think i could stand. it in the morning we got the news. that's

bush white house and state department elise jordan.ine, the first half of that, the government institutions. it's a debate i've been having with everybody over the past four years, especially my wife saying the institutions are going to hold up. one person is not going to be able to undo what james madison and alexander hamilton did, you know, 240, 250 years ago. and so that's the only way i was looking at it, but then when i read this line what failed in germany and other countries, it's that they lose the institutions but also the civilizing forces, and i immediately thought, well, my god, let's not celebrate about the institutions holding up because i remembered your book, and you talking about the civilizing forces collapsing, especially in middle america. can you talk about that this morning? >> yes, and i think you're exactly right to focus on that, and alienated america was not about the judiciary and the bureaucracy and these other forces you might think about that would tame in a misbehaving president. it's about the real conn
