charlie: [laughs] jon: when bush said that that she gave the diary -- he said, what? lie: what is he now know, with some distance between us and the time of the iraqi war. son's conduct of thereof? jon: he supported the invasion. charlie: but he supported it because he thought, my son has facts that i no longer see. jon: i believe it is more than that. charlie: or that he looked at it and said he should not allow the factions to continue? jon: he had been to this movie before. charlie: one of his achievements. jon: one of the myths is that george herbert walker bush was dean acheson, who happened to be president -- and george w. bush was douglas macarthur, who happened to be president. when you actually go inside, the events from august 2 from 1990 until 1991, what you find -- in fact, i was so struck about this so there is a whole chapter of this -- george herbert walker bush was willing to be impeached and to unilaterally exert american military force to remove saddam from kuwait even in the face of an active negative from the congress. he made up his mind that this

charlie: did she say, let me think about it? jon: there was some thinking. [laughs] when bushd that that she gave the diary -- charlie: with some distance between us and the time of the iraqi war. jon: conduct thereof. charlie: conduct thereof. jon: he supported something. he supported it because he thought, my son has backs that i no longer see -- has facts that i no longer see. jon: i believe it is more than that. itrlie: or that he looked at and said he should not allow the factions to continue? jon: whenever, he had been in this movie before. charlie: one of his achievements. jon: one of the myths is that george herbert walker bush was d natural scent, who happened to who happened to be president. when you actually go inside, the from 1990m august 2 until 1990 one, what you find -- in fact, i was so struck about this because there is a whole chapter of this -- george herbert walker bush was willing to be impeached and to unilaterally exert american military force to remove saddam from kuwait even in the face of an active negative from the congress. he made up his mind that

and the first president bush made -- charlie: especially on the war. maureen: the first president bush made his feelings clear about donald trump in 2011. with one epithet. one choice epithet. but i think it's -- it's interesting. because president obama was elected in this revolutionary fervor to move past the clinton machine. and i think at that point, in 2008, we thought the machine was over. but then somehow president obama led us back to that. you know, he sort of pushed aside joe biden. he could have gone -- lent his support to him. charlie: encouraged and supported joe biden. maureen: instead he chose hillary. i don't know if he felt guilty that he had usurped her or he joined her in ivy league elitism. but he sort of misread the mood of the country which is amazing for such a brilliant politician. charlie: let me ask you this point because many people have said that donald trump, hillary clinton is the only person donald trump could have defeated and they also would make the point that donald trump was the only person that hillary clinton could

charlie: as george bush would say. larry: i think it is for two reasons. one is the fbi explosion. arlie: it doesn't seem to have necessarily changed minds. larry: i don't know that. charlie: i don't either. larry:i see some of the overnights from the campaign. it seems like republicans are coming home, independents are crossing over. charlie: trending to trump in the polls? larry: big numbers. charlie: these are polls you have seen from the trump campaign? larry: these are good pollsters doing private stuff who are friends of mine, so i take a look at it. he was narrowing before. he has gotten on message the last eight or nine or 10 days. drain the swamp of corruption. he is talking about getting rid of obamacare, which is very unpopular. he is talking about economic growth and tax cuts. he is talking about judges. he is laying out his case in a much better fashion, much more concisely. he is using a teleprompter. for discipline purposes. i'm from the old school, charlie. i still believe that issues matter and i believe politicians who can get a good message out are going to be in

charlie: and so did george bush 41. here's what's interesting, too, how did he see hillary clinton and her campaign? he said watching her campaign quoting you, like a parent watching a kid in a sporting match and you feel like you don't have as much as control. and did he say oh my god. i heard this today without it being verified by the principals that bill clinton was upset about the direction of the campaign. he may have been saying it after the fact or may not have said it. david: people were upset the same reason as bill clinton. she didn't campaign as many events as trump. charlie: trump's thing was rallies. david: he is good at it. they knew she isn't the retail politician as bill clinton or barack obama. what confounded them besides the money stuff and besides comey and wikileaks, which is another matter, was why aren't you initiating? charlie: didn't go to wisconsin? david: didn't go to wisconsin. what are you thinking about arizona. why are we having conversations about texas turning blue. this is fantasy. cha

powerful in the last century the clintons and bushes, of course, is this the end for those political families? back with us jessica tar lo democratic strategist. charliegway of the federalist. jessica tarlov, this man under estimated by everyone overturns not simply all of washington, new york being and los angeles as well but the bushes and clintons. they are gone unless i'm missing something. >> wriewr not missing something. i actually think the effect on the clintons is a lot greater than it on the bushes. >> why? >> i think the clintons had at this particular moment kind of further to fall in a certain way. i mean bill clinton is still one of the most overwhelmingly popular figures in modern political history or he was before. this we'll see how the polls look in the next few montsd. clinton foundation largely heralds for great work. now the narrative is the opposite of that daily caller report how many fewer donors only five donors came to the clinton foundation in the last three or four months which is well below where it was. we are talking about that and whether they are actually charitable people. these are people committed themselves to publ

. >> and charlie gibson, you go back to 1980, there has been a bush or clinton in the white house except for the last eight years with hillary clinton as secretary of state. and maybe there's some reaction to people who have been in far too long. >> you know, i think that was one of the things that despite the donald trump characterization of jeb bush, he was a formidable candidate going in. indeed had an incredible fund-raising operation at the beginning. but people didn't want a third north carolina, big battleground state, it's going to donald trump. 15 electoral votes right there, one of his core four states. matthew dowd, he's filling in the map the way he needs to. >> she had all the paths in the world when the night began. now, he has multiple paths for the electoral college to get to 270. she at this point has to come close to running the table to win ale >> has to win nevada, minnesota, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania and new hampshire. >> she's got to now run the table. we've been talking for weeks, republican privately have been saying, this is a very narrow path for donald

it is not going to look like president bush told us it would. charlie: do you think it was a mistake to go in? paul: i do. on balance, i think it has weakened us. charlie: what if we have to do both? why did you go into the marines? >> i joined 9/11, a high school senior. i looked outside my school building and i saw the twin towers were hit. so, i left the school with permission from parents, of course, and i went home, and my father was a new york city police detective and he came running home to get all of his -- dad, i will not be over a couple of days. i did not see him for five or six days. i do not wantlf, this for my kids. you know, let me take a stand now, here and now. i will devote however long it takes, four years of my life, to hopefully ensure the safety of the american people. i felt that my children should live in a safe -- charlie: you were how old? >> i was 16. charlie: is that something you would do over? >> without a doubt. what i do it over? yes. i feel very patriotic doing what i did. >> i ended up in the marines, from university,

former president george bush and former first lady laura bush did not vote for either candidate for president. that's the same thing governor charlie baker did this morning. the governor and his wife voted when the polls opened in swampscott. baker told us it's the first time in his life he has not voted for a presidential candidate, but stressed it is still important to vote anyway. >> i have lots of friends voting for hillary clinton, i have lots of friends voting for hillary clinton and i respect their decision and i respect their opinion and the most important thing is the people need to come out and exercise vote all the way up and down the ballot. >> vanessa: baker said the state rep and state senate races and the ballot questions matter a lot for voters this election. massachusetts senator elizabeth warren voted for hillary clinton in cambridge this morning. she admitted to reporters she's nervous about the election, because she says there's a chance donald trump could win. after casting her ballot, warren headed up to new hampshire to campaign for her fellow democrats. our special election coverage continues throughout the

bush. his brother didn't keep us and he has the same intelligence experts and generals that his brother did. charlieat question. do you think rudy giuliani is an acceptable choice for attorney general or secretary of state? >> he would be perfect for secretary of state except that he is not diplomatic and has no foreign policy experience. other than that, what could go wrong? one of the things reince priebus is doing is urging people with qualifications, part of the national security world to say would you consider joining this administration. this is a problem. the number of people who are not willing to associate themselves with donald trump. that op ed piece was truly amazing. you actually have the bannon wing of this administration and the rational wing of this administration being headed up by reince priebus. his job is to recruit people of principal, of experience, of qualifications who would be willing and able to serve. he has one hell of a job. i have to tell you that. >> elliott cohen is a form offer bush adviser who basically said stay away, stay away from this administration. it's not go

badly this year, not just hillary clinton, but jeb bush and the other republicans annoyed by the -- anointed by the establishment, like scott walker. charliepeople who had been around politics for a while. david: people who had been around politics for a while. charlie: or were the favorite of people who had been around politics for a while. david: that's right. bernie sanders clearly lost the primary to hillary clinton. i think about 55% to 45% of the democratic vote. however, bernie sanders is a socialist from vermont who wasn't even a member of the democratic party until recently. the fact that he got 45% of the vote, in hindsight -- and for some people at the time, it was a real sign of how weak the establishment is. so one, in hillary clinton, you had a candidate who really had a lot of flaws. two, you are trump getting out this vote in a way that didn't seem possible but actually happened. charlie: without a kind of organization behind him, using rallies as his emotional push. david: that's right. and really -- look, what i have said is i think the central problem facing the country, in addition to climate change, is the great stagna

charlie: also john bolton. >> he is under consideration for secretary of state. he is a controversial figure. he had to be appointed in the bushdministration to become ambassador of the united nations. is considering him for secretary of state along with rudy giuliani. the important thing about all these candidates under consideration is loyalty, something we knew in the campaign donald trump prized, loyalty from people. he demands it from people. they are not giving consideration to people for top jobs in the ministration who are not on board during the campaign and supporting him. only the people in the never trump movement being considered. even if you were a republican who was neutral and were not saying anything about donald trump in the campaign, that is a knock against you right now. charlie: that brings me to steve bannon. ken, tell me who steve bannon is and why -- when they made the announcement of new chief of staff, reince priebus, it was steve bannon who led the list. he's going to be the principal strategist and senior advisor, someone that most people do not know, but enormous late controversial. >> steve is a f

one of my colleagues, charlie savage, when he was at "the boston globe" wrote a story about it, obama was a critic but , far less extent than bush, issued signing statements that indicate where he wouldn't feel like endorsing the law. jackie: president trump, let's say, his people, his legislative council and others could look at some past laws and see what leeway the previous president left him by way of these signing tatements. >> but this also tends to be heavy in the rem of national defense. olivier: charlie was not a white house correspondent. he picked up on something that we as the white house press corps, it becomes so routine, we didn't necessarily see the story there. we were all aware of it, we talked about it but here come this is outsider who is like, wait, really? you can set aside this part of the law? and he wrote the piece and this is something, something any aspiring reporter should be aware of. there are plenty of stories out there, sitting right out there in plain view. the more speerblize -- specialized press corps may not realize it's a story. >> and they're not necessarily access stories. cat: before i go
