talking about how she was in the white house when the call came from then editor bill keller and george w. bush we were talking about the difference between george w. bush and barack obama which they are fewer and fewer every day. but one is that george bush just didn't care what "the new york times" thought. that has to be a shot across the bowel to the white house that he is losing a lot of friends on this issue. >> well, he certainly is going to pay a lot more attention "the new york times" than perhaps george bush did but barack obama is a very resolute, determined, self--contained guy and if he thinks this is right, then he is going to stand up and say that. >> yeah. "the huffington post," george w. obama. gee. did you name your son that? >> yes, george w. geist. >> george w. geist. there is, obviously, a lot of talk about this, about one thing when you're running for office and you can make all of these promises about what you're going to do but once you get in there and get the first briefing, we have been talking about this for four and a half years now, things change. you said one conv

i refer to it as president bush's fourth term. >> stephen: shut up, baldy! george w. bush is my hero. he is my role model. he is my designated driver. this guy, this guy is just imitating, it will make me like him. i don't care how many ball game us take ple to or how many citizens you blow up, you're not my real president. you're just some guy named barry! (laughter) i hate you! (cheers and applause) and folks, while there's a lot of talk about e-mails and phone calls, i am way more excited about the new surveillance devices that they are cooking up. >> it's possible for them to know when i'm using my microwave oven. >> general petraeus when he ran the cia gave a speech that he thought was secret and somebody copied it and made it public that said new mike waves and dishwashers that have computer chips in there that they can access so they know when yous are using your microwave and dishwasher. >> stephen: i'm not surprised they put surveillance chips in microwaves. we know they already have metal detectors. and we need to know what people are nuking. i mean isn't a m

. >> what is interesting is that the alleged civil libertarians that would go nuts if george bush didhis or this happened in the bush administration, we need -- these are grave national security issues. there is a hypocrisy. >> that is an excellent point. saturday obama against the intrusion that president bush made to allow the stuff we are seeing going on now. but on steroids. it just seems weird. >> there is a big difference. under the bush administration they didn't get court orders. under the obama administration they are getting a court order for the surveillance. >> there is a big difference. >> there is a big difference. >> whether you have judicial supervision. i'm with daigen. i don't think this is a big scandal. you are not talk about the government eavesdropping on the conversation. >> neil: how do you know? we discovered that is indeed what happened and that getting the records was -- >> that is -- >> that is not what we know. >> that's what we know so far. >> neil: we didn't know this a few day ago, julian. >> if you let me answer i will try to explain. >> neil: go ahead

george bush understands what's going on.ick cheney is using it for political gain. >> george bush was kind enough to sympathies what president obama is going through. president obama hasn't credited george bush with the program. instead, he has done the opposite, boasting it is so good now, the nsa program, because they scrubbed it. dick cheney responded to that. he said really, you changed it, scrubbed it, at least with bush we had the debate, at least there was transparency, we knew when it worked. if it worked so well under president obama, tell us the dozens and dozens of attacks. they don't tell us. >> you know what, this is what is great about this scandal. it brings the right and the left together and in conflict over this, which in a way weakens our war against radical islam. obama doesn't have to act about it because we are destroying it. >> we buried the lead, that cheney and obama agree on something. he is a traitor and he was in the wrong and should be prosecuted. >> good point. well done. way to wrap it up. >>>

for the first time since 2005, george w. bush'sularity ratings are higher than his unpopularity ratings proving that the further he gets away, the more we like him. on facebook, i asked if anyone was surprised by this. and on twitter miss rachel wrote, americans favor george w. bush because he is no longer being unproductive in the oval office but at home. actually rachel, i thought w was productive. two wars, bankrupting the country, guy's no slacker but i put it to you. does absence make the heart grow fonder? frank? if he stays away long enough, will you grow to love w.? >> if he stays away, absolutely. but i think, you know, popularity is a weird thing in america. don't forget the twilight movies are really popular too. so you know, i don't put a lot of faith in that. >> john: dean, does it have anything to do with obama fatigue? >> i feel the legalization of pot in certain states. i think yes. >> john: the fact that we're going through tough times. they're throwing the scandals at the president. most of them fake. but does tha

(vo)only on current tv. if you believe in state's rights but still support the drug war you must be high. >> i think the number one thing that viewers like about "the young turks" is that we're honest. actually mean it. >> you're putting out there something that you're proud of. journalists want the the story and they want the right story and the want the true story. >> you can say anything here. >> i spent a couple of hours with a hooker. >> your mistake was writing a check. >> she never cashed it! >> the war room. >> compared to other countries with tighter gun safety laws our death toll is just staggering. >> the young turks. >> the top bankers who funneled all the money to the drug lords, no sentence. there's just no justice in that. >> viewpoint. >> carl rove said today that mitt romney is

i'm saying, were you critical of george w. bush the way barack obama was critical of george w. bush for putting programs in place that barack obama has expanded? >> and the polls are also clear on this, that democrats tended to oppose what bush did but support the same thing when obama's doing it. i get all that. but remember, bush wanted to go further on some of this stuff, with the searches and the famous scene in front of ashcroft's bed and all that stuff. >> it must make him very angry that barack obama has been able to go further on this. >> obama has never done a warrantless search. >> you can do things that are fun. it's george w. bush's 89th birthday. >> is happy birthday, mr. president. >> and they're asking you help the family celebrate by posting pictures of the most outlandish socks on his facebook page. you can't do that as president. >> there we go. >> we have a lot to cover. politico is reporting that an army commander has been suspended following a five-month investigation into alleged sexual misconduct. the lieutenant colonel was being reviewed for promoting a r

president then, george w. bush, defended it. the american people mostly we are againre with one key difference. we have the identity of the theon who leaked information. what's more, he's fled to china. switchednversation has from the existence of the motives of the leaker. how did that happen, karen? >> one reason it switched is it both surprising to discover that this person who had all access to government secrets. edward snowden. thedward snowden, who had capacity to leak them, turns out to be a 29-year-old contractor the n.s.a. and he's only been on the job for three months. so that was one reason that it just so surprising, thating, but i also think edward snowden has in many cases rorshcharch test of how conflicted this country is because you have people as diverse as, you know, glen beck, the conservative commentator, the liberale, elsburgr, even daniel to whom he's being compared, calling him a hero, and yet you congressionale leadership calling for him to be tried as a criminal. gwen: is that happening in part -- by tu

george w. bush was for it he got the nomination. it's not that you can't ever get the republican nomination if you're for immigration reform and gone so far -- i don't think he can back up on this. >> we've got two other republicans in the news getting slammed. a new report in "the washington post" says va's governor bob mcdonald has billed taxpayers for a number of items that should have been paid for by his family. spending records show the republican governor and his wife used taxpayer money for body wash, sunscreen and dog vitamins. >> you can't do that? >> state workers -- >> i have to go back and amend quite a few financial statements from the '90s. >> state workers were asked -- >> stay clean and doing that for the people. you have a sick dog, stay home and take care of the dog instead of doing the people's business. >> state workers were asked to run personal errands for their adult children including trips to the dry cleaner. mcdonald's spokesman said the governor has made a constant effort [ inaudible ]. >> okay. >> that's

testing is important to solve problems. >> finally, tonight, george w. bush left tonight, george w. d two unfunded wars but his legacy might be no child left behind. >> get it right! get it right! >> teachers, counsellors, principals an parents staged this massive rally in albany to protest standardized testing. educators are realizing that tests like this work. teachers in seattle successfully boycotted a regional standardized test and won. >> you can try to implement the map test here at garfield, but if it's wrong for students, it won't happen. the focus group has spoken. it's the teachers. it's the principals. it's the student. the focus group has spoken. >> shortly after that rally. washington state made the standardized test optional for that district. this is a game of inches. teachers across the country say it is worth their career to speak out against teaching against the test. president obama announced funding for faster internet access in schools. >> imagine educators spending fewer hours teaching to a test, more time helping kids learn in new and innovative ways. >> and j

and it started under george bush. it's continued under president obama. "new york times" says this morning in its editorial that will this administration has lost all credibility on this issue by defending it. i don't think you can defend it. do you? are you willing to sacrifice every constitutional right you've got in the name of the war on terror? >> where it is. 866-55-press. we've got to fight this i think p we don't need friends in the congress or no friends in the justice department. let's talk about it. >> on your radio and on current tv this is "the bill press show."

(vo) current tv gets the conversat

you call that conflating, there is a pattern but i guarantee you if george bush was doing it you woulde all over it. >> you want me to respond? look, you can't conflate all these issues. you have to separate them because they are different. in the case of the irs. there was never connection to white house. in the case of a.p. case, no one was criminalizing investigative reporting and nobody talked about prosecuting rosen. that was a method of getting a subpoena. >> that is called targeting. >> i want to talk fast. >> neil: julian you are saying nothing and it's offensive. >> why don't we speak specifically. >> neil: why don't you call us back and obnoxious on reality. you play the same game -- you are playing. >> excuse me. [ talking over each other ] >> you are not backing up the facts. >> neil: i want to be clear on this. cut his damn mic. ben is in pattern of behavior you see here, i want to see politics out of it, nuances out of it. i want to address the pattern that does or does not worry you? >> i'm telling you and gasparino was right, its police state. it's getting works and wor

the rights of george w. bush the reconsideration of george w. bush and how great or bad he was.seems to be going in the right direction. does it change things as we look forward to 2016? >> that is good question. i really don't know the answer to it. there may be some reflection if the numbers go up for president bush. there may be fondness for what he represented. we saw some of this with ronald reagan with george h.w. bush who celebrates his birthday today. what i think what overrides is stated of the economy and what you wanted to see for america's future. >> megyn: thank you so much. >> coming up new york congressman peter king the targeted of a capitol hill protest -- can you call it a protest? it looks like two people. they seem very upset. they are not the only ones. the reason they are upset with congressman king he is saying he wants to prosecute both the nsa leaker and the journalists who revealed the classified information. congressman king joins us live. plus, many people are outraged that government is looking at our phone information. company says it can hide your

front page of politico, george w. bush's fourth term and scathing editorial from the "new york times" saying the administration has lost all credibility. later it would soften the tone to limit it to this issue. chris is fox news contributor. those on the left started to lead the frank in the wake of the a.p. spying and the irs scandal that had both republicans and democrats unhappy about that. they started to go. they started to go and be more skeptical of this president and his honesty according to the polls. now, when you look at it, it's as if george bush is back in office the way they are writing about barack obama. >> i guess it had to be much more extreme under george w. bush to take such umbrage but we are there now. we have reached that point. president said it as well as anybody could in that quasi press conference, you don't trust the legislative branch and judiciary or justice department, then we're going to have problems. the time has come. we do have problems because the left, the people who should be sticking

president george w. bush is enjoying an unexpected ren any sanction.ry to make sense of his new found popularity just a hid. [ male announcer ] let's say you pay your guy around 2% to manage your money. that's not much, you think. except it's 2% every year. go to e-trade and find out how much our advice and guidance costs. spoiler alert: it's low. it's guidance on your terms, not ours. e-trade. less for us. more for you. it's guidance on your terms, not ours. every day we're working to and to keep our commitments. and we've made a big commitment to america. bp supports nearly 250,000 jobs here. through all of our energy operations, we invest more in the u.s. than any other place in the world. in fact, we've invested over $55 billion here in the last five years - making bp america's largest energy investor. our commitment has never been stronger. >>> george w. bush, popular? really? not really. that's next. it's a fresh-over. that's great. tastes like you just picked them. so far, it's about the best strawberry i've had this year. walmart works directly

that the president is being a hypocrite here, that he ran against this kind of stuff when it was george bush doing it and now, i mean, ari says it's the fourth term in the bush administration. >> i think ari is trying to needle him just a bit. there have been many places where he's put in place better legal strictures and real legal strictures. i think the drone program which he stepped up far beyond what bush did is a terrific program but he also gave an important speech just last week where he outlined the legal framework for that. i think there was very little framework under bush. the guy who wrote the patriot act, very conservative right wing republican from wisconsin, the congressman says that this is excessive and un-american. >> what's fascinating, senator dianne feinstein, democrat in california, has come out in favor of this. you have very unusual changing of position depending i suppose on democrats are supporting, i don't know, republicans are supporting president obama. >> i'm being consistent. i love president obama. i support him. i spent two years of my life helping re-elect

. >> that's what george bush said before -- >> neil: all right. >> we are combining even.ere is what i think. maybe you can help me with this. fact of the matter is this is not an isolated incident. collecting phone records on millions of americans is one thing. saying you are going after conservative groups and then it's more than a few. then a lot more than just groups. it's individuals. exanding this to go after fox. there is a steady, systemic pattern of invading people's privacy to use the full weight and power of the united states government to be a pain. >> there is arrogance. the notion that this is monitoring phone calls from here to yemen, 170 million customers are calling yemen? c'mon. if you want to cross reference after the boston terror event, and you a getting the information for verizon to cross check and cross ference anyone that might have been with him and his brother -- >> i'm with you. now you have the documents. >> i'm with you. onll of that. that is how you typically gather the information. >> there is contempt and arrogae at play that dismisses the

precisely because when he was campaigning, he criticized george w. bush -- then-president george w. bush and said you don't have to give up. this is a false choice between civil liberties and security. but you just heard him say, yes, we're going to have to give some things up for security. and it's the difference between campaigning and being president. things just look different when you get into the oval office. the whole weight of trying to keep the country secure does, i think, really feel on their shoulders and fall on their shoulders. so i do think this is a president who clearly has changed his mind around the nuances of a program that is going to necessarily infringe on what some people think are civil rights. and let's face it, you know, although he said, oh, gosh, this is a different debate and these republicans didn't seem to have a problem when george bush did it. the fact is libertarians and progressives always had a problem with the patriot act. and they will continue to have a problem. and this re-emerges that argument. i don't think he probably welcomes it because he

everybody pointed finger about george bush about the patriot act.riarch act on steroids -- patriot act on steroids. comment? >> this is almost exactly what george bush did. on the up side and down side. i find it odd to see people saying it's great when bush did condemn the president. >> eric: or conversely the people who had a problem with it when bush did it now say it's ki. we have to leigh i leave it the. coming up, the happiest place on earth becoming the most expensive place on earth. disney with a big price increase. why you might want to give mickey an earful. someone here says it's a good thing. clients are always learning more to make their money do more.

it's clear that everything that george bush did, barack obama was not going to put those toys away.just said he was going to play with them nicer. you have a violation of civil liberties, commercial rights and americans should be calling their senators and congressmen saying this needs to be stopped. >> michael: what about it needs to be stopped? i'm a progressive and i've been talking to everybody, my friends and colleagues in the office wondering why i'm not angrier about it. i think i'm angry about the lack of transparency. when they going to the fisa court. we don't know that they're going and we don't know what they're saying. what would be changed? the elimination of this entirely? listen, 12 years of nothing we've used this information and it was said that it has helped to stop terrorist incidents. what do you say is the middle ground or is it just we can't take this at all, and i understand that argument as well. >> right look, there is always a middle ground. this idea that well no terrorists attacks have happened so this must be working. this is like saying i have a magic

i supported george bush going mountain biking. ey should be allowed to do these things. >> george w. bush did stop playing golf at a certain point. bill: rich, can you think of one thing they cut back on other than tours that affect the public? >> there have been cuts. bill: kirsten be you find them and come back and tell us. >> every agency has to cut a little bit and they portrayed it as a as. i'm sure they cut back a little and that's what had to happen and it hasn't been a disaster. martha: do americans trust president obama less because of all of the scandals that we have been talking about the last couple weeks? we'll discuss the president's credibility and look at some polls on that next hour. bill: bureaucrats discussing how the story of sarah may be just beginning. 7 bill: a look at a special and unique ceremony at the vatican. the pope blessing hundreds of bikers on their harleys. the american bike maker gave two classic harleys to the vatican police force and they returned the favor. martha: there are growing concerns bu

the patriot act, the left pointed the finger at george bush when the patriot act was passed and said look at the overreach, but the patriot act is different. they pinpoint what they're going tooted. what's going on right now is the patriot act on steroids. they're taking complete, broad swaths of groups of people, if not the whole country, and saying we're just going to go ahead and data mine and see if we find something. i'm more concerned about what they do with the data when they don't find something than what they're actually trying to accomplish. i'm not sure with that much data what neal find. >> you don't have a problem with them going after the material bauers of your approach on terror. >> the way they're doing it. >> master delete buttons. >> too much. i mean, it's not pinpoint. they don't have -- they didn't get like intel on something, let's go after it, let's find out who kimberly guilfoyle's phoned. we have reason to suspect kimberly's terrorist. they're saying let's take the whole west side of manhattan and see if we can find something and maybe kimberly is in that sph

the government more broadly to execute this program. >> paul: did you trust this program under george w. bush? >> the program is broader than it was under george w. bush, but the question is do we believe the courts and coning, using oversight can stop abuse. the other problem.... >> paul: how would you answer the question? >> it's not clear knee and part of that is not just because the president doesn't execute leadership but also because all these analysts working for the program, one of them who is in hong kong right now who seems to have gotten, who seemed to have leaked information. why continue that that happen with variety of other people in the organization. >> paul: joe, you are not as worried about it as mary but let's put it in context the irs -- you've written about obamacare extensively. where do you put this data mining threat compared to other government powers? >> i would draw a pretty critical distinction between national security programs and some of the domestic programs that use the same kind of tools. anti-terror surveillance and other architecture on the war on terror, y

i remember a dinner during the george w. bush administration in southern california. it was norman lear and his wife, larry david, bob scheer. they were sitting around w eeping in their expensive soup about the fact that we were living in hell. rupert murdoch on the media. george bush was president. norman lear had his pulse on american culture for 30 years. why cannot figure out how to deal -- deliver a message that is important and happening? >> that is important. we can find messages that speak to people where they are. they can also have some satire like stewart or colbert. there is the idea of exposing with satire. it opens people's eyes to the hypocrisy and corruption of our politics. the problem is you want the captivating stories and images and vocabulary, but a lot of the colbert-stewart stuff is so absurd and over the top that people do not want to get engaged. >> that is where a large number of people get their news. >> i think the obama campaign was a pivotal point, bringing people in. now they leave. there is the possibility that people will come back in.

presidents reagan and george h.w. bush and george w. bush believe very strongly that one way to change the law was changing the judges which is what the federalist society members believe in and so federalist society members in the office of white house counsel and in the department of justice in the administrations of both the bush presidents were the primary people responsible for vetting candidates for federal judges so all the federal judges picked by either of the bushes were either members of the federalist society or approved by members of the federalist society who are working in the white house and the department of justice and those judges are people who believe in an originalist interpretation of the constitution and who oppose government regulation like obamacare and that would include the supreme court. oh yes they have four justices on the supreme court roberts and alito and scalia and thomas are all members or former members of the federalist society as a matter of fact scalia was the advisor to the student chapter at the
