and president george h.w. bush share a great deal, but the father did not have a vision or plan for his son. >> he didn't have some visionsh about what i should do in life. he didn't say, look, you need t' practice fielding for ten hours a day, 'cause i want you to be a great short stop.go o his attitude was, i'll provide some examples for you of how to live your life. i will settu certain values ando get it.rt i wish you all the very best. obviously if we needed help or vice, he was there.i but he never really tried to steer the course of our life or which i am eternally grateful. >> and there is at least one thing that sets the two presidents apart.lif >> i think it's fabulous, but not to the point where i want to emulate him. >> thatt was fun. what's -- >> when he had a kid and had to jump out after getting out, he hit his head and couldn't remember the moment, so he wanted to remember what it was like to jump out of an airplane' since then, he is serving as an example to older citizens thatto you can live life

she told me one day, i think george bush is the greatest president i knew. i knew a lot. he had one fault. he never took credit. >> george h.w. bush's personal modesty has not kept his family and his wife from telling in the way he would how he influenced them and >>> my greatest inheritance besides the love for my father, was the fact that my dad moved to texas. >> president bush was the oldest of five children. >> he could have stayed up east, gone into wall street, settled into a very comfortable life but instead he packed up mother and me and moved out to odessa, texas, and i always have admired him for his pioneering spirit. >> moving to odessa, texas, well, i had never been here before. it was dusty, but people were wonderful. >> george bush went to texas to build a career on his own instead of following in his father's foot steps. >> he told me he didn't really want to work with something you couldn't touch, like banking or something his family had done and maybe others, too. and he was offered jobs by a gr. who was it that turned you down? proctor & gamble. >> oh,

he is working on a very big book on dick cheney, george bush and barack obama. and covert intelligence policies. he was very close to writing the book when someone dropped a trove of documents, it has gone from not just the george bush administration worse than we ever thought, the book has gone from just being about george bush to being about obama and i suspect very soon we will see headlines and we will see sy hersh going across the country with his latest expos day about the george bush/obama foreign policy. what does hersh think about the revelations of leaking of material by ed snowden? he has been the recipient of leaks like this for many years. if anyone knows what it is like to be friends with and have secret sources in formation of sy hersh, you read sy hersh story and don't know who's talking, just a lot of unnamed people, turned out to be right. but he said about ed snowden, he broke the law he has to be prosecuted but i have to tell you he has changed the nature of the discussion and that makes me think of sy hersh. she has changed the nature of dis

president george w. bush is scheduled to speak tomorrow. his father, president george h.w. is also there, as an honorary co-chair of the event, although he doesn't have a speech. and tomorrow, president obama will give the keynote address. the effort and determination that lbj brought to the civil rights act struggle remains an an inspiring model, i would argue, for all of those presidents. and while the lbj library is the perfect place to reflect on this kind of seminole achievement. now, joining us tonight to discuss it is clifford alexander jr. he was associate special counsel to president lyndon b. johnson and played a critical role in passing and implementing the civil rights act of 1964. an honor to have you here tonight. >> thank you, ari, appreciate it. >> when we look at this achievement, and you look at all these presidents from both parties down there, what do we learn today about this period of history and tell us what you were doing when you were serving lbj at that time? >> at that time, i was on his staff welcome working on administration. i was there in the

. >> george bush was talking about closing the achievement gap, nikole, wha what does that meano you? >> i just find it interesting that we have so much discussion about chosing the gap without discussing that one thing that has been proven through history to close the gap which is integrating black and high poverty students in the middle class schools and the reason this works is that we know separate has never been equal in the history of this country and no more equal today than it was 50, 60 years ago, the resources follow white and middle class students and when you separate black and latino and poor students from those resources you get n achievement gap, it is not rocket science, i guess. >> absolutely. and i think that those punishing disparities have to be acknowledged if you have 90 to $100 million school in the suburbs and experiments and high speed internet access and have one outcome and if you have got schools where there is barely any running water you will have another outcome and it is devotion of resources is not just material, but it is also emotional and also finan

neither did george w. bush do the veto. george w. bush presided overed a $5 trillion to $10 trillion deficit. we have to admit our failings, because we've not going to get new people unless we become believable as a party again. >> rand paul is right on the facts as he is explaining them there. but that last point, about how we've got to worry about our believability as a party, that ends up being a very key observation about this very big and ongoing problem for the republican party right in and out for the midterms and heading into 2016. you've heard of bush derangement syndrome, right? or obama derangement syndrome. it's this idea that some people are so driven by hatred of a particular president, like president bush or president obama, that they can't actually recognize what that president is really doing. they hate the president so much, they cannot see straight when it comes to that president's actual behavior and actual record. on ronald reagan, with this artificially manufactured effort to create this saintly legacy for him, w

so, for example, take george w. bush's presidency and the issue of economic stimulus. george w. bush when he was president passed a stimulus bill. so people essentially got money back from the government in the hopes that they would spend it, thus goosing the consumer economy at a time when there was slack demand. george w. bush's stimulus bill was structured so americans got that money in the form of a physical check which they received in the mail. and that check explicitly explained that this was your stimulus bill check that you were getting courtesy of president george w. bush. thank you, mr. president. here's your money. well, president obama also signed a stimulus bill, but those same kinds of payments from the government under president obama, they didn't show up as a check in your mailbox. they instead just showed up over time as a mild bump in your paycheck. now, doing it that way is actually a much more effective way to use money to stimulate the economy. if you get one lump sum check like you did from george w. bush, you're more likely to just deposit that check in yo

and george h.w. bush will all be the there. >> it's quite a crew. >> speaking of george h.w. bush 41, he surprised the obamas by greeting them when they arrived at the airport in houston wednesday. said george h.w. bush, when the president comes to your hometown, "you show up and welcome him." i've got to say, by the smiles and the response that that had, you really see what a little gesture, what a difference it can make. . it's a wonderful thing. sometimes bipartisan is a lovely, lovely image. >> sometimes it takes until you're out of office before the bipartisan -- >> that's a fantastic point, but michelle obama and barbara bush, they held hands the entire time. >> this is true. >> the entire time! something oso tender about it. >> a great photographic moment. >>> right now, investigators scouring the ocean for missing malaysian airlines flight 370. they're dramatically narrowing the search this morning. could they find the missing jetliner in a matter of days? we're back with the challenges searchers are facing. >>> welcome back to "early start" this morning. are search cr

first of all, president bush as george w. bush's popularity has come back surprisingly.e's more popular than president obama. and he's very popular with republicans. and the other thing is i'd say jeb bush is a very different guy than his brother. in tone and substance and style. he's just very different. i think that people will get that. i think he'll say i love my brother, but i'm a different candidate, i'm a different guy and i think people will recognize that. but i think there's also a great deal of good will about george h. w. bush and basically the bush family name. i think people are very fond of the bushes generally. >> a lot of people say the good will towards george h. w. is because of the mistakes george w. made. >> i think generally, there's a great deal of good will toward both the bushes and the clintons, surprisingly, with all we've been through. that's why i say there's a reflex when you talk to people and say this next election could be clinton versus bush. at first they recoil and go oh, my god, not again. we don't need more dynastic politics. but the

the son that george h.w. bush hadn't figured as his political heir. it was then that george w. dying to run for president in 2000 while jeb stayed in florida to mend fences and take another shot at the governor's office. he did end up winning that office in 1998. by then, he'd been lapped by his brother. the rest, of course, is history. the disaster of w.'s presidency, the tarnish to the bush name, the sense that maybe the country's had enough bushes. apparently the old man is still holding out hope for jeb and wondering how differently it might have all played out if it wasn't for that pesky he-coon. that's all for "hardball." thanks for being with us. chris will be back monday. i hope you join me tomorrow morning and sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. for "up with steve cornacki."

his first decision after the getting the republican nomi nne was the worst and that was selecting george bush as his running mate. bush campaigns and said i am a conservative and if i am elected and nominated i will govern as a conservative. 1984 republican convention and i am there with howard phillips, president chairman of the republican caucus and dan rather emails us and asks us about the vice president and we explained he is not a conservative for this reason, this reason and this reason. the next night dan rather has the vice president on and he said i had guest on and they said you are not a conservative for these reasons. what do you say, mr. vice president? are you a conservative? and he said yes, dan, i am a conservative but i am not a nut about it. he is sworn in at noon, january 20th, 1989. by sun down every reaganite in the regan administration that could be identified was fired. not in the coming days or weeks. that day in the first five hours they had politically executed him. if you supported reagan in the 1980 primary fight you were fired in the george h. bush administration

bill clinton and george h. w. bush. both of them wanted to balance the budget but neither had a plan to balance the budget. they might cut the deficit in half between four years. ross perot appeared on larry king and basically said everybody agrees we ought to balance the budget, these people -- we need a businessman to do and do without breaking a sweat. within seven weeks he was leading the presidential race and saw people in both parties, take this issue of balancing the budget for more seriously in the next years, ross perot had his quirks and all that but the message and popular support was overwhelming, if you have reformers within each political party who hammer home this message, we have 80%. >> mayor bloomberg runs as a third-party candidate. he then forces, senator clinton and governor chris christie, to work more in the way you talk about bill clinton and george h. w. bush, when confronted with a credible threat from the center. the center forces the two sides to come closer to the middle. >> a challenge with

>> i think it is kind of rattling it's not regarded very well a broad and the fact that george bush leftmany of these treaties i have to list in the book when he was criticized for that. they said it doesn't apply to us anymore reedited kind of high handedness is not in my view very good international relations. >> what was the thinking behind that. >> you are asking why george bush did these things? i think he was like i am on thee side of the joe's and i know what's right and i'm not going to have a piece of paper such as the treaty or the constitution. there is some irony. when mike huckabee said i think there is more freedom in north korea than in the u.s., that kind of stuff and reaches me because when you realize what these people are laboring under and you realize what life is like, the idea that even iran and north korea is so outrageous and the fact they compare bloomberg to kim jong-il when you are invalidating the 70 years of tragedy and people who are right now a nation of hostages. >> thank you.

he was nominated by george w. bush. and during the george w. bush administration, the marquee legal issues of that era were obviously on national security issues. really fundamental, really big picture questions. can the united states government lock someone up forever without putting him on trial? bush administration tried to create a whole new legal system where you would not be allowed to see the evidence against you, they could use hearsay against you, and they could torture you to say things to be used against you. and the u.s. government did not just offer them as policy suggestions, they started doing this stuff. and then the best lawyers in the country scrambled and ended up working on these new legal questions that were posed by the government's totally radical and unprecedented actions. and to work on those constitutional questions did not mean that you were siding with the defendants or the prisoners in those terrorism cases. it meant you were arguing the points of the law. you were arguing a whole new legal field that had been create

his son george w. bush was president for two terms. now another one of his sons former jeb bush is getting a lot of attention from supporters and detractors as speculation about whether he'll make a run for the white house continues to mount. i sat down for an exclusiver into interview with jeb at the presidential library and we talked about immigration, education and a whole lot more. >> so the senate bill attempts to do that. i think it was a good effort to try to do exactly what you're saying, which is that the rule of law requires us to be able to, for example, 40% of illegal immigrants come with legal visas and overstay their bounds. a great country aught to know where those folks are and politely ask them to leave. so now you've cut out 6 million people. if you did that from the, you know, kind of as it occurs, it would restore people's confidence. there are means by which we can control our border better than we have. and there should be penalties for breaking the law. but the way i look at this, and this is not, you know, i'm g

but -- and in the case of george w. bush he came out of the box on war in some respects, things that he had to accomplish. there's a connection between them that's more similar than one would think. >> they all have had big struggles in their first terms and sometimes uncertainties in their second terms, if they get them. president obama also noteed that each presidency is the work of not just one man, but of multiple presidencies. it took president clinton to start health care, president obama to finish it. it took harry truman to start medicare and lyndon johnson to finish it. these works take decades. presidents of different parties. and he said we're just relay swimmers in a great current of history. whenever a president speaks in another president's library, they are mindful of the history. gwen: john f. kennedy started civil rights and lyndon johnson finished part of it. but he wasn't the last president to have to speak to that issue. >> oh, no. nor is it over now. and that's one of the things president obama said. oth

>> george bush tried to do something that frankly the republican party scuttled him as well. uld listen to the bushes. >> i don't typically give advice to democrats, but let me say that the democrats cannot continue to be the party that gives a welcome mat to illegal immigrants who want to create crimes. just last week we learned that the obama administration released 68,000 illegal immigrants who were here who committed a crime. >> and that's a very worthy topic. we covered it right here on "the real story." but isn't it apples and oranges with regard to the illegals who are currently here now and what are we going to do with them, ones who have not committed crimes, who are working and maybe have families, et cetera. albeit illegally. >> we are still talking about illegal immigrants. we have to make sure, one, borders are secured and two, get rid of those who want to commit a crime. there is also a discussion that needs to be had about people who are here on honest reasons for opportunity. as governor bush pointed out, a price has to be paid for those. >> is there anything t

president george h.w. bush'sry at the time is dick cheney. >> iraq controlled 10% of the world's reserves prior to the invasion of kuwait. once saddam hussein took kuwait, he doubled that to approximately 20% of the world's known oil reserves and that gave him a stranglehold on our economy and that of most of the other nations of the world as well. >> despite that stated motive of protecting the free flow of oil, the president's public case for war centers on saddam hussein and his oppressive regime. >> we're dealing with hitler revisited. a totalitarianism and brutality that is naked and unprecedented in modern times. and that must not stand. >> colin powell was chairman of the joint chiefs at the time and had problems with h.w., president bush going out and talking about hitler and things like that because he knew it was such a camouflage. this is a mask to get the american people's support. the first gulf war was all about oil. >> the horror of 9/11. ten years after the gulf war. impels the first president bus

what does the success of this abouton say in the future the george w. bush administration of the past? >> that is an excellent question . the ghost of iraq has hung over his legacy so much and it has also impacted afghanistan. people don't know the difference most of the time. a know we fought 12 years of for over there. athink if afghanistan ends up stable, peaceful, prosperous place, it's a good part of a rough neighborhood, maybe you can get some credit for the fact that afghanistan was not a mess in the end. we will see in the coming months what that looks like. george bush and dick cheney and condoleezza rice, we will see what history says in coming years. in the immediate future we need to watch to see what happens in afghanistan once the numbers actually come in and we see who the firstader, as time a democratic transition has taken place. we will follow this. gayle tzemach lemmon is the author of "the dressmaker of khair khana," now out in paper would. fromg up, a performance grammy-winning hip-hop artist christylez bacon. stay with us. grammy nomina

in 2012 mitt romney won the same amount of percentage of hispanic votes as george bush did in 1994, he would be sitting in the white house are now. but his party pulled him down. so when he formed the dlc, our strategy was to shape a political message that someone, we have a pretty good idea who that might be, could run for president someday. and not only wrong but governed by it. her goal was not to accommodate. we didn't want to be acceptable with party leaders but we wanted to win. and we knew along the way that we were going to lose some of our friends and some of them would disagree with this and fall off the reservation. but that was a necessary price to pay. because our challenge was not to unify our party. walter mondale had done that in a sense. yet every interest group and the party behind him in 1984 and he lost 49 states. our count was to expand it. so because we couldn't prevail in the regular party form, we had to build our own playing field we could have our own home field advantage. the new generation of leaders included people like though clinton and al gore, joe biden
