that was the last we saw of dan bush. th bush, he said bush had no comment. he is a champion in sarasota county for parents looking for a way out of the mask mandate telling local media recently. >> i'm not an anti-mask person, anti-vax person but i am a pro freedom, pro choice person. >> reporter: this was the scene outside his office, the twin palms chiropractic health center hundreds of parents around children all hoping to secure a medical exemption. >> i think it's ridiculous to have to wear a mask for eight hours a day. >> this mom came to get bush to sign an exemption form for her child. something he has now done hundreds of times. according to the sarasota county school district. >> i think it's great because many doctors refusing to sign it and this is one doctor that is actually volunteering his time with no pay to sign all these forms. >> reporter: not everyone thinks it's as great as she does. >> do you think dr. bush is being responsible. >> absolutely irresponsible. >> this woman started the group stop the sp

when we spot dan bush, he is just arrived for work in his pickup.d to miss the read, white, and blue splash and freedom fighters painted on it. >> how are you? randi kaye with cnn. >> i'm not interested. >> i just want to ask you. i want to ask you about the exemption forms that you were signing. i know. >> we already made a statement. >> reporter: well, why won't you talk to us about it? are you -- are these -- are you examining each and every child that you are writing exemption forms for? >> this wasn't about me. this was about parents' freedoms. >> about parents' freedoms? are you -- are you examining each and every -- are you putting children's lives at risk by signing these forms? >> no. >> why not? why won't you answer a question about it? >> because i don't need to. >> how do you feel about them not accepting your exemption forms. >> when we asked his lawyer earlier about speaking with his client, he said bush had no comment. still, bush has become somewhat of a champion here in sarasota county. to parents looking for a way out of the school

she said one of her friends was handed this medical exemption form from dan bush's office without everis children evaluated. notice it's blank, no medical or evaluation information just what looks like the chiropractors signature at the bottom. >> to just write mask exemption without seeing a child is just egregious. >> reporter: dan bush denied to local media he's signed forms without seeing parents. >> i've not given exemptions to any parent i do not know of. >> reporter: meanwhile in part because of his actions the sarasota school district told us they've updated the mask policy and only except medical exemptions from medical doctors. to be clear chiropractors are not medical doctors and the district will not accept their signed exemption forms. the school district also told us they've rejected about 650 medical exemption forms and that the majority of the declined exemptions were from dan bush's practice. yet this past weekend dan bush took part in a mask exemption evaluation event which more than 1,200 people reportedly attended. the flier noted medical records helpful but not man

did not want to be identified who told us, on august 27th, he got two forms for his children at dan bush'ssaid he never met with bush, nor did his two children. we showed bush the man's form. take a look at this form and see is that your signature at the bottom? >> it looks like it, yes. >> so you are saying that's a fake form? >> i think somebody made copies of it, yes. >> can you tell me today, there are no presigned forms, blank forms being handed out at your office or were being handed out? >> the first several-dozen people that i had met with early on all had to come back and get new forms. i had already examined those people. i did not need to reexamine those people, so there were forms where we had them ready for those parents. okay? but it wasn't somebody coming in wi willy-nilly without meeting us and being given an exemption form. >> are you the only doctor in your practice who was signing these exemption forms? >> no, ma'am. no, ma'am, we had three doctors in my practice and then several other doctors, chiropractors within the county that were also doing them. i know of at least

bush and himself, dan quayle. to us that he would do anything to disrupt those proceedings. i was thinking also, al gore succeeded dan quayle as vice president. al gore behaved very honorably in december of 2000 when he accepted the bush v. gore decision and urged national unity and we had to support george w. bush as the the president. quite a contrast with donald trump. >> you know, our friend crystal lizza said dan quayle may have saved democracy in that phone call with mike pence, maybe. but it is such an unbelievably low bar. don't overthrow the results of an election here. >> it's a low bar, john. two-thirds of house republicans 0 voted to overthrow one state, or two states. who knows if they would have voted for other states. it's a low bar but an important bar. it reminds us character matters. the laws are not self-executing. the constitution is not self-executing. people have to obey the law and support the law when there are temptations to break it in important ways. and as i say, vice president quail di

bush dan quayle told him he had no authority to do so. pence held the line for democracy on that cashing day but what's your reaction to these new revelations? >> lindsay, i know mike pence. i worked with mike pence in the donald trump administration and mike pence is no hero. i hate to say it, because i'm a hoosier from the indiana state where he's from. he's not a hero. mike pence is a coward and i watched him consistently in the oval office fail to stand up to donald trump and try to demonstrate as much fealty toward him as possible. it's clear pence was actively trying to find a way to overturn our democracy and i applaud dan quayle and grateful to him for telling him to shut it down. he was a close friend of mike pence. during the presidential transition i sat up at trump tower next to dan quayle during meetings, i turned to him and said "is this what a presidential transition should look like?" he turned to me and said "this is a disaster." i'm glad he was there to provide that moral check but mike pence was not, did not have the ri

dan quail. >> george w. bush's> right, also from indiana and what is striking is that over and over mike pence appears to be looking for a way to help trump. we know that he got to the right place on the 6th. it may be because of dan quail and this conversation in the book quote, quail says to mike pence, mike, you have no flexibility on this, none, zero, forget it. put it away. pence comes back, you don't know the position i'm in, quail cuts him off. i do know the position you're in. i know what the law is. you listen to the parliamentarian, that's all you do. you have no power. >> the wise words of former vice president dan quail. stick to the constitution and he did. jamie gangel. thank you. the polls close in california very soon. stay with us for the very first votes that will indicate whether or not governor newsom stays or goes. we'll squeeze in a quick break and be right back. (announcer) carvana's had a lot of firsts. 100% online car buying. car vending machines. and now, putting you in control of your fin

for a way to help trump and he reaches out to, of all people, former vice president dan quayle, who was george h.w. bush'se president, also from indiana, to ask him for advice. pence over and over again, the exchange is just extraordinary, says to quayle, you don't know the position i'm in, isn't there anything i can do? and over and over quayle shuts him down. i will just read one line. quayle says, quote, mike, you have no flexibility on this, none, zero, forget it, put it away. it just goes to show that this may have been a close call. >> who knew that dan quayle would be the real hero of this story. >> there you go. >> i mean that is a revelation on so many levels, jamie. then it was not just general milley who was expressing concern. >> correct. >> about president trump's deteriorating state of mind. what were other officials saying? >> the book -- the last book, you may remember, was called "rage." this could be rage 2.0. the book is filled with trump lashing out and having temper tantrums in the oval office. top advisers and cabinet officials in the book describe scenes that they say are like out o

bush rejected this offer multiple times. and just like in 2000, when people say gas, dan is going to become a terror house, which is all it gets back then tony blair said ok, that was destroyed one month after the invasion. literally, we have destroyed virtually all the terrorist training camps of al qaeda. we destroyed an enormous amount of the military infrastructure of the taliban thereafter. power as far as the existence completely taken out, so of america's war on terror was supposed to beat terrorism. why are there more suicide attacks and more people dying from terrorism? since 2001? just look and how the number of deaths keeps rising and rising and rising. if america lost 3000 people on 911 again, austin has had multiple 9 eleven's since the invasion. and just like the people in new york city had nothing to do with america's foreign policy. neither do the people have of galveston had anything to do with al qaeda at all. in fact, the hijackers were mostly from saudi arabia even brought their passports to prove it. another development on saturday, new york officials revealed at a news conference here in the city that a h

bush and kamala harris. they'll be speaking here. all of these presidencies, dan, impacted by what happened here 20 years ago. >> deeply impacted. cecilia vega, thank you so much. we referenced this a few times but 20 years after 9/11 the taliban has, of course, returned to power in afghanistan and abc's julia macfarlane is in london with the latest on what's happening on the ground there. julia, good morning. >> reporter: dan, good morning. 20 years since the 9/11 attack and just under 20 years since the taliban refused to hand over osama bin laden and his fellow al qaeda leaders to the u.s. sparking then president bush to launch an invasion into afghanistan. fast forward to today and we have that same group, the taliban now running the country and now western intelligence officials are warning al qaeda could use this opportunity and the vacuum left behind by the withdrawal to regroup. meanwhile, there is still thought to be about 100 americans in the country. this week two chartered jets from qatar airways carried out the first evacuations of u.s. citizens since

journalists felt that they could not ask critical questions. cbs anchor, dan, rather who went on the letterman show and who said george bush is depression and he makes the decisions. and you know, there's just one american wherever you want me to tell me where and he'll make the call. talk about and media that have completely given up their autonomy, fox news, and rupert murdoch's empire with consistently in favor of the war on iraq. in fact, all his editors about a 180 of them took a pro war 9 in the lead up to the iraq war one, oregon. saddam begins. we expect every american to support our military and if they can't do that, to shut on color or audiences, we're led to believe the iraq war would be over in months. if not weeks and months . our patients will be one of our strengths that american troops would not end up meyer there or in afghanistan, which the us invaded to funk down to summer. been loudon and al qaeda and where a decade after ben latins assassination american forces remained. when the biden administration finally entered the afghan, establish, and last month american news companies featured many of the sam

gerry: a 2003 claiming to dan hussein with mass destruction that can be used by terror groups president bushrought the u.s. and its allies into up conflict in iraq. the defenders on the war on terror say not only avenge the 9/11 attacks with the killing of osama bin laden in 2011 but it made it safer and has not been another attack on that scale despite fears of the time that more assaults were inevitable. defenders of the war say while the attempt to bring stable democracies afghanistan may have ultimately failed in iraq remains a work in progress the u.s. has brought 20 years of relative security. but was this long and debilitating war worth it? the only initial route of the taliban of bin laden was a larger effort to build stability in the region of success. it is true there have been no more nine elevenths but there have been plenty of other big terror attacks in madrid, london, paris and on a smaller scale in the united states. what's more the price of the war on terror has been massive the loss of american life larger than the numbers who died on 9/11 more than 7000 servicemen and wome

bush or dan quayle for doing the things they should have always been doing in the first place. >> i'll. in another show of extremism, nicki minaj, let's talk about it. she became a temporary darling of fox news and the anti-vax crowd this week after they talked about her cousin's friend and the covid vaccine. her story got so outlandish, her home country's minister of health put out an official statement debunking it. we all have those people in our family who, you know, they're hesitant, they have concerns, they have questions. obviously this spoke to me because she unfortunately went after someone very near and dear to our heart, joy reed, who was simply trying to express and counter her narrative in fact. but what does it say? because she has a lot of followers and a lot of influence. and when you read her tweet, it was so -- i'm curious, what was your take? what was your take on the whole thing? >> i was taken aback for sure. nicki minaj has a lot going on. she's definitely a vibrant character. but you're right, with such a large platform she has to be very careful. i don't hold it

dan quayle said likewise. and remember the new berkeley law professor who wrote books for the bush 33 to use harsh interrogation or torture methods. he wouldn't support the idea either. thank god pence didn't go along with the coup attempt but the book has provided a road map for further investigation by the house select committee investigating january 6th. allegations of an unfit president, hell-bent on holding power. no wonder the book has a one word title meaning serious and immediate danger. that's why a seam in the book towards the end is so incongruent. john mclaughlin came armed with a recent survey a survey that showed 73% of republicans wanted to run again. and 82% said they would support him if he got into a primary campaign. these numbers, your numbers, are better than what reagan had. mclaughlin tells him. the pendulum is going to swing back, mr. president, just be patient, hang back and wait and see what happens. and there will be buyer's remorse about biden. to a reader of "peril" the idea seems fantastic a, at odds to the 400 pages that preceded the ant ne anecdote. eight months into the biden ad

bush wearing bulletproof vest, walked up to the yankee stadium on the first pitch game three in 2001 world series. take a look. [cheering] >> president of the united states. [cheering] danrvice agent back in the day. what a moment it was. joining me now, a better view than i did. iconic moment of his own, luis gonzalez. thank you for joining me, appreciate it. >> thanks for having me, appreciate it. dan: you are playing and i came, one of the best world series in major league ball history. game three, i think your up to nothing, a great pitching staff that year. i'm out right field working, i get hit about a bad practice and it comes right to me so i catch it and i wanted to keep it so back as a 5-year-old kid next to me and i had to give it to the kid. so what does it look like with you throwing the pitch from your perspective in the dugout? >> a funny way of bringing people together, and incredible american moment for us, iconic when he threw the first pitch, everybody in the stadium had goosebumps knowing when he gave a thumbs up signal at a perfect strike to the plate and fans chanting usa, usa was an unbelievable feeling. dan: meet and you are friends, i have a ton

dan quayle. he called the former vice president of the united states and basically asked the former vice president who had to sit in the same chair after george h.w. bush lost. any way to get out of this? mike, you have no flexibility on this. none, zero, forget it, put it away. how do you see that episode? >> well, i think it's just as likely that mike pence felt very confident in his position that he had no flexibility here. but, nonetheless, because it was such an important decision and because the president of the united states was pressuring him, he just wanted to get confirmation from someone who has sat in that chair. so, you know, i have confidence in mike pence. i think he did the absolute right thing. and i give him the benefit of the doubt. i think what he was doing here was simply calling someone who had been in that same chair and just reaffirming his position. >> it was relentless pressure from the president of the united states according to this book donald trump told mike pence we can't be friends. we can't be friends if you don't overturn the election on january 6th. >> well, so be it. you got to do what you have to do. >> former attor

that dan quayle who spent as many years as vice president that mike pence spent and after four years as vice president, under a president, whatever else you want to say about george herbert walker bushas an arch institutionalist, someone who believed in democratic norms, and believed in the rule of law, and the stuff that everybody has long believed in in america, until quite recently under donald trump when the republican party went off the deep end. dan quayle spent work doing in the private sector, philanthropic center, reflected on what makes the american system great, which is the norms and values and structures. it turns out that mike pence after his four years in the vice president has not been left with that appreciation. what he has left with is he's a more craven, more yolked to donald trump than he was the day that he walked in, and way more than the prevailing narrative have it. what the pence people have sold people on since january 6th is this bill of goods it turns out, that mike pence was a hero. that donald trump pushed him and said you got to go and do something there on january 6th to try to overturn the election, and that make pence held his ground and said donal
