george h.w. bush: i think leadership is having a conviction, a conviction of the direction you want your country to go, a conviction that can offer a hope of freedom for countries around the world and your own people. it is also a concept of having people follow, looking over your shoulder, and people being with you. it connotes to me respect, it connotes strength, and it connotes principle. >> further clarify your definition, who would you select as the three most effective leaders in history and why would you select these people? george h.w. bush: history? that's pretty tough. i would say in relatively recent history, abraham lincoln. abraham lincoln set a direction for the country. that direction, contrary to modern perceptions of lincoln's presidency, was holding the union together. it didn't matter how he did it, it was the survival of the union. he set his sights on that. he did it. in the process, he demonstrated a great compassion for people. clearly, i would put a man like general eisenhower

george bush wants to do this, george bush wants to do that? and he said, i don't know. i don't know what to do. what do you think? and he just couldn't make a decision. i think he was like i said genuinely emotional about the situation. so, finally, i'm looking at my clock and thinking, i really don't want to have to rewrite this whole thing. [laughter] >> so i think it would be absolutely brilliant if you just -- you're right. okay. [laughter] . >> so he gets up the next morning. he goes to the diet. i'm watching it on the closed circuit. and he starts -- he says, i will now deliver the speech as if george bush were here. and he says, you know, i, george bush, blah, blah, blah. off he goes. and every single time the man stopped to take a breath, whether it was an applause line or not, the japanese diet went nuts and just clapped like crazy as if they were sort of going to applaud george bush back into good health. so we got out of there and nick brady said, oh, my god, mary kate, that was the greatest. i can't believe it. and it was very sweet that he was so excited bu

reagan as well is next bush, asmr. george h w well as donald trump, they all play on the cold that we talked about. they ignore the silent majority. reagan with the philadelphia mississippi. bush with the heart thing, and george was doing the same thing. what really bothered me is during the nixon administration, they imported a lot of heroine during the war on drugs. admiral ortar distributors of cocaine throughout the minority community. yet, they were on television saying say no to drugs. it has caused a tremendous amount of harm and minority communities. this is an off-base. another thing about mr. reagan, one of the things i disagree with, it seems like all the time he was in cabinet meetings, he was always sleeping. he was surrounded by people like mr. reagan. he was trying to get people to fire. over and destroyed our country. that is having a tremendous negative impact on our country. host: thank you for the call. guest: i do not know how to unpack this. ronald reagan left office in january. he had a 40% approval amon

i don't fault george bush for the decision he made, i fault george bush in the way he conduct it had war because -- and then i congratulate him for the equally tough and surprising decision he made to do the surge when all of the advisers were opposed to it. he thought it was the right thing to do. it turned out to stabilize the country. we can argue about the rest. >> host: judith miller is our guest. we all heard the story. we are going to start with a call from marjorie in west virginia, go ahead. >> caller: , hi, thank you so much for taking my call. one of the things, ms., miller and i watched you be interviewed a few times on c-span, you don't seem to think that you were manipulated by dick cheney and many do believe that you were manipulated, and the reason i believe you were manipulated was the timing of the article and how it seemed to be well coordinated with dick cheney and others appearing on the sunday morning news talk shows at the same time, so my question is this, when you have an opportunity to do a future story about our going to war, have you thought about what you

. >> was this happening under george w. bush too and people just weren't shining a light on it? >> of course it did. social media certainly has exploded. but george bush let people sit on their roof tops, people died in katrina. >> do you think the first black president could have brought the light to this? >> absolutely. >> do you think the president has been too conscious of his own skin color, not wanting to get the blowback of making things a race thing. >> he's been boxed in by his own race, and there's so much more he could have done. the debate will be, again, could he have done more or did they

if you look at the number of people who voted for george bush vice, more than $100,000 a year, a slightdifference in favor of bush. it is significant when you consider the level of tax rates. but if you look at religion, it is extraordinary. people who go to church once or more than once vote for george bush. people who don't regularly go to church voted for al gore. it is a cultural divide. this is my portrait of the right nation. it is rooted in the south, southwest, suburbs and has no counterpart anywhere else in the world. there is one obvious rejoinder the 2000 election was essentially a stolen election. america is fundamentally liberal, more people voted for gore than bush. in november, you will see a dismissal of bush and a return of fundamental liberal bayous. john: it is worth addressing head on the issue of whether our view of the right nation means john kerry could win the next election. the answer is simple, of course it does. if you look at george bush's approval rations ratings low 40's. iraq plainly offers many downsides. it doesn't matter how powerful the demographic num

ronald reagan selected george bush as his running mate. he served loyally for eight years and reagan gave him a lot more responsibility than most other vice president scott. he had an office in the west wing, which was a new phenomenon in american politics, american government and he was selected by ronald and nancy reagan to give the eulogy at the national cathedral. so, what started out as a political rivalry, and in fact sometimes it was very very toughly fought between gorge bush and ronald reagan ended up being not only very good friends, but very very respectful of each other and george bush said in his usually-- eulogy, he said i learned more from ronald reagan than any other man in public life for national politics. >> did he write that they never even had dinner together in the west wing of the white house. >> guest: that is true. that is probably another issue, you know, that i can't explain. the reagan had their own privacy in the bushes had their own privacy, so they did not actually dined together, although reagan and bush had

i'm george bush. y wife laura bush, and i'm looking for some lone star lemonade. >> you all have any? where is your money? >> it's in my pocket. i have to get the lemonade first. that's for my wife. we're buying some lone star lemonade. can i have for anybody else? senator, would you like some lone star lemonade? >> that's good. that's plenty. >> it's very good lemonade. thanks, y'all. >> who made it? how much do you charge for your lone star lemonade? >> are you going to tell us? >> how much do you charge? >> 25 cents. >> would you take a dollar? >> thanks a lot. >> where is your mother and dad? there's your mom. hi, mom. >> hits9lñ there. how about this? en. >> these guys want to say hi, too. right here. >> do you want some lone star lemonade? >> yes.#z >> would you like to sign the sign? you'll have to take the plastic off. >> what's your name? erin? how do you spell it, erin? what's your name? >> sheila. >> are you sisters? >> laura. >> that's my wife's name. >> my name is laura. are you sisters? >

i'm george bush. this is my wife laura bush.'m looking for some lone star lemona lemonade. >> do y'all have any? where's your money? >> it's in my pocket. they've got to get the lemonade first. >> great. >> that's for my wife. we're buying some lone star lemonade. can i have one for me? anybody else? senator, would you like some lone star lemonade? that's good. that's plenty. >> great. it's very good lemonade. thanks, y'all. >> who made it? how much do you charge for your lone star lemonade? how much do you charge? >> 25 cents. >> would you take a dollar? >> thanks a lot, you all. >> where is your mother and dad? where's your mom? hi, mom. >> hi. >> can you believe it? >> yeah, how about this? >> we love entrepreneurs. >> this is what we're for. >> looks great. >> these guys want to say hi, too. >> right here. >> good man, hi. want some lone star lemonade? >> yeah. >> that's a good idea. >> sign the sign. you have to take the plastic off. >> what are youro!Ñgñladies' na? erin. how do you spell it, erin? e-r-i-n? >> what's your n

so, that is one broad stroke, but specifically george w. bushand dick cheney have such consequential presidencies and that affect with which are still being felt. perhaps, not as profound as the two men would like. they feel like barack obama has determinedly undone a lot of the good work they did and they think the current status in iraq is attributable not to the original invasion of iraq in 2003, but to the failure of the current president to hold the line on some of the policies such as the surge in the withdrawn the american troops and so on. so, if you care about the middle east as it exists today and how the threats from the middle east rcb into our country as the resident in san bernardino know so well, then you will want to read "cheney one on one" and learn how the line of this very influential man really worked. >> host: what about his reputation overseas especially with world leaders overseas. >> guest: dick cheney is still in contact with a lot of world leaders overseas and sell travels to the middle east from time to time. i think

george h.w. bush: thank you. >> road to the white house rewind continues with an interview with republican residential candidate george h.w. bush from the 1980 campaign taped by salem high school students in new hampshire. it played in cable access and parts of new hampshire and massachusetts. this is the first time it has aired on national television. george bush would finish second in the 1980 new hampshire primary behind eventual gop nominee ronald reagan who would go on to defeat incumbent president jimmy carter in the general election. this is about 10 minutes. leadership is a quality vehement -- american people had been demanding from the president. many americans feel like we have not seen strong leadership your how would you define leadership? george h.w. bush: i think leadership is having a conviction, a conviction of the direction you want your country to go, a conviction that can offer a hope of freedom for countries around the world and your own people. it is also a concept of having peopl

george h.w. bush: i think leadership is having a conviction, a conviction of the direction you want your country to go, a direction that can offer a hope of freedom for countries around the world and your own people. it is also a concept of having people following looking over , your shoulder, and people being with you. it connotes to me respect, it connotes strength, and it connotes principle. >> further clarify your definition, who would you select as the three most effective leaders in history and why would you select these people? george h.w. bush: history has been pretty tough. i would say in relatively recent history, abraham lincoln. abraham lincoln set a direction for the country. that direction, contrary to modern perceptions of lincoln's presidency, was holding the union together. it didn't matter how he did it, it was the survival of the union. he set his sights on that. he did it. in the process, he demonstrated a great compassion for people. clearly, i would put a man like general eisenho

interesting because i see dick cheney as the worth president of my lifetime. >> host: what an insult to george bush. point of personal privilege. >> guest: probably intended. >> host: right, intended to hurt president bush. >> guest: some respects but plays into a liberal -- which is that dick cheney was the power behind the throne and pulling the strings, and nobody knows the fallsty of -- fallsty of that as cheney with be possible exclusion of scooter libby. >> host: i want you to wrap up with something that dick cheney had not talked about before and that was his faith and religion. if you could tell us about that. >> guest: well, the one subject that dick cheney told me in advance he doesn't like to pursue in the depth with interview ever is is religion. yet even there, we covered the subject in greater depth than he has anywhere else. and he talked to me about his sunday school experiences, in a midwestist church in kaspar, wyoming, where re crew up. his denominational migrations over the year and this innermost beliefs about his faith, and so sit in cheney's study, surrounded by all the booke

even george w. bushnd john mccain -- it is in new state with eight coastal and towards him economy where they are building giant jets with a lot of higher education and football. it will be the reset of the campaign. charlie: i grew up in north carolina, as you know. implicit of what you just said, it seems to me that it is 82 man race. hugh: i didn't mean to. donald trump and ted cruz are fighting it out for the outside washington, break the windows campaign. i heard it ted cruz at today that was paid for via super pac that was brilliant in which he raises his voice about washington but in the other lane is eight lane that is serious about it world that has gone to hell. this is why republicans are panicked. i think hillary clinton might be indicted. she blew the iraq forces agreement, she was eight disaster on syria and libya. she is tired and weary and not very good. we can win. for all the republicans who just want to win -- we have four supreme court justices -- ruth gator ginsburg is 83 degrees. --

george h.w. bush, john anderson, and howard baker. high school students in new hampshire, the interviews played on cable access and parts of new hampshire. it's the first time they have been aired on national television. we start with ronald reagan who went on to win the new hampshire primary on his way to securing the gop presidential nomination. he then defeated incumbent resident jimmy carter and the presidential election to win the presidency. this is just under 15 minutes. >> president reagan, welcome to election 1980. leadership is a quality the american people have demanded of the president. many americans feel they are not receiving strong, effective leadership today. how would you define leadership? ronald reagan: it is not as easy as it sounds. there have been great leaders throughout the world to have been able to get followers behind them and evil men who have led them in wrong courses. we usually think of leadership however and those who take, who lead the people in the right directions.

the fact is, and george w. bush backs them up on this, he twice said no before succeeding on the third try. to go back to your question, about health, in addition to his career over four decades, this man has exercised tremendous impact on how we lead our lives in america. there's also the fact that he is a singular creature. doctors can point to other people walking along planet earth today that have had five heart attacks and a transplant. doctors cannot point to anyone else walking around on the planet who had his first cardiac event in the 1970s and still around. every advance has been made over the years somehow, in a cardiac for stump way, dick cheney was there. everything you can do to a heart patient, he's had done to him. >> host: one of the things you're always frustrated with is when they're reluctant to talk about themselves but i always knew the cheney's were a generous people. they don't talk about it. one of the things i know know they do is provide the heart defibrillators to all the places of worshi

donald trump is leading in the polls. >> ask any american if they want to go back to a george w. bush economy or obama economy? republican or democrat. >> it's better than half of america saying they would like to go back to that economy. >> wishful thinking about a george w. bush economy in 2007. come on. >> 63%. we have a labor force participation rate. that's the lowest it's been in about 50 years. >> and crazy monetary policy and wages that are barely growing. john, final word to you. >> look, the point on this is george bush was bad. they never tell you president obama is good. they never come out and say this is great. we haven't had leadership in washington d.c. for over 20 years and we -- there is a peace dividend. but we're not leading. we're letting the world happen. that's not what we need to do to take care of our own interests. >> thank you john and thank you all. caputo on business starts 20 minutes from now. what have you got? >> believe it or not the state department is saying it helped make it happen last year. how about sending all the refugees back this year? and we

so did young george bush. upper middle, people with connections did not generally serve during vietnam. but we seem to not want to recognize that and clinton and conservatives begin to -- him over his draft record. the other thing, clinton is a product of the 1960's. he is asked at one point if he ever smoked pot. clinton gives one of the great clinton answers -- yes, but he did not inhale. he made -- it was crazy and as people have come to learn bill clinton better comes this tension with the truth if you well. it surfaces again and again. that ambition. he sees a small issue getting in the way of his ambition. he could not just say -- yes, i smoked a few joints. clinton says he tried it and does anyone know where he says he tried it? what he says is i tried it once in england when i was at oxford meaning that he was not subject to laws of the united states and then come in case you were worried, i did not inhale. he says he tried to but i just could not do it. part of this is the politics of nothing that is

. >> trevor: do you miss george bush? >> personally, uh... (laughter) well, i -- do we? was kind of how the idea popped into my head was, you know, the fact that george bush seems like a really sane choice, with the current field. >> trevor: it's true, isn't it? >> and we thought, oh, we need to write this. >> trevor: you know what's crazy, it's not just a sane choice, but even if you look at the anti-muslim rhetoric, george bush was really respectful for muslims. he was adamant about that. and back then people were, like, he's crazy! and now they're, like, was he? >> total moderate. >> trevor: yes. if you could play any of the candidates in a movie, who would you play? >> i like me some ted cruz. >> trevor: can you do a ted cruz? >> no, not at all. marco rubio. ther, there is an oily,slimy fad love to -- yeah, i'd love to put that skin on for a while and walk around. >> trevor: oh, man, i could see doing that. >> but i know the opening shot of the ted cruz movie with me as ted cruz -- >> trevor: yeah. -- just walking around naked around the town, right? (applause) >> tr

past on next we look at george w. bush on the campaign trail.n cane new hampshire in 1999, he takes questions from reporters and learns about the town's pumpkin festival. >> our daughter is i@ loves it. >> really, lubbock, texas. i know reese. nice to see you. >> ma'am? step back just a little. >> i appreciate it, thank. nice to see you. >> you have to win, george! >> republicans wish you the very best. >> that's why i can't be at thaq debate tonight. >> where are you tonight? >> i think montpelier. >> what do you say about not debating? >> i love my wife. she's going to be notedj>o as a esteemed student at smu. there will be other debates. surely, though, people can understand a guy wants to be with his wife. you would like that, wouldn't you? >> thanks a lot. you've got my vote. >> thank you. thanks for coming. thanks. >> the author of that is a convicted felon, according to the newspaper. >> really. >> yeah. i'd be careful. you should go get your money back. >> there is an article in the globe that some of your supporters suggested that you m

specifically, george w. bush and dick cheney had such a consequential presidency, the effects of it are still being felt, perhaps not as profoundly as the two men that would like. they felt that brock obama has on done a lot of the good work they did. they feel the current state of syria and iraq is attributable not to the original invasion of iraq in 2003, but to the failure of the current president to hold the line at some of theolicy such as the search, the withdrawal of american troops and so on. so if you care about the middle east as it exists today, how the threats from the middle east are seeping into our country as residents of san bernardino know so well, as reading cheney one oh one you can learn about how the mind of this man works. >> host: what about his reputation overseas especially with world leaders overseas? >> guest: dick cheney is still in contact with world leaders overseas. he still travels to the middle east from time to time. especially in the middle east, monks or arab golf allies like s

george hw bush is the new one. the former president allowed meechan exclusive access to his material. >> the reason he cooperated with this, the reason he gave me his diaries and mrs bush gave me his diaries, is they do want the record to be clear. he wasn't attacking his son. he thought his son used rhetoric that was too hot, but-- >>> that's a criticism of his son >> yes >>> of another president of the united sthats and his son, right >> it is. it is striking that he articulated it, but i think he had reached a point where me wanted to make the point for history that diplomacy in force are not competitive but complementary. i think that's what it was >>> the striking thing about this book, which there are so many, but the striking thing to me is that the father and son never had this discussion . >> no. i think you and i have, but this is the odd intersection of two forces. one is the senior about bush's reflectionive deference to the presidency. whoever was president, bush thought the duty of a citizen was to do

. >> a look at the work of political cartoonists during the administration of george w. bush. cartoonists from the washington post, the atlanta journal-constitution and other media to about the issues that influenced their work. it is an hour and 20 minutes. >> welcome to political cartoonists and the george w. bush presidency. i am from the national center for suburban centers at hofstra university. it has been a long week. is init has been a long week. believe me. for 20 years, i sat on the you andfor 20 years, i sat on the editorial board and it was my distinct pleasure to have adjoining offices with the cartoonist at newsday and to sit with him in editorial board meetings, the only artist among a sea of writers what a treat. he always kept us loose and on our toes. it is my pleasure now to introduce my co-moderator. she spent half of her remarkable career in private law practice and the other half in social service in washington. she represented the association of american editorial cartoonists as friends of the court in the landmark case between falwell and larry flynt, pu

george bush came and spent a be ronalde here and reagan in iowa.t are some of your memorable moments of the scene here? >> i remember 1980 we were counting votes in the republican caucuses and george h.w. bush was ahead. some of the rural precincts were not in yet, and we stopped counting. [laughter] michael: my first caucus, i arrived in december and the caucuses were february. it was a steep learning curve. there had been a shortcut implemented before i got here that caused us to show that george bush was leading in that caucus. i had to go to the editor and say, our poll is showing that george bush will win but i think bob dole will win. he said what will fix that, and i said money. in those days that was not the end of the conversation. all be looking for you 5:30 on saturday. opening days at 7:00, good tickets are still available. [laughter] the politicking starts way before caucus nights. ends up down at the ballpark, for one reason or the other. michele bachmann comes up to the press box and looks at me and says, your lawn is beautiful. most

may take, i spoke to alberto gonzales, the former unite states attorney general and a council to george bush. >> what action could the president take, in your view? challenge and it remains to be seen on this difficult issue. every time the president issues , i assume that he is advised by lawyers and that he has the authority to issue the executive order to expand the types of transactions . it remains to be seen. >> the president says he has the legal authority and the white tose intends to force more register as gun dealers and increase background checks. is that something you support? i support that, so long as the information by the government is used for that purpose and the database is accurate and complete. the substance of what he is trying to do, i do not have a problem with that. i am concerned about the president having the authority to do this with executive action and i think the country would be in a stronger position, if this was taken by both branches of the congress and the president, making this more lasting and making it not a law that can just be undone by congress. >> g

you worked for george bush's campaign and helped to design george w. immigration policy and in the committee, you saids i want to bring people out of the shadows, and now you want to trump, trump on immigration. >> they are really friends and get along. that's what they tell us. >> most talked about moment in the debate. they are responding to challenges on the immigration stances, specifically where they stand on the path of citizenship. senator marco rubio facing more questions on america's newsroom when bill hemmer asked if he was changing. >> to be more obvious would likely go a longer way. >> it is obvious. it is not changing your mind. that approach has no chance of passing. why would we bang our head-on a issue that has a 0 chance. it was attempted five times. >> this has to be solved by enforcement first and then pooem will be reasonable but the not until then. >> we'll bring in julie and jamie. so that is one of the most talked about moments and we saw the update. jamie, you have an interesting take on the immigration take and why did rubio com

i'm george bush. ura bush, and i'm looking for some lone star lemonade. >> you all have any? where is your money? >> it's in my pocket. i have to get the lemonade first. that's for my wife. we're buying some lone star lemonade. can i have for anybody else? senator, would you like some lone star lemonade? >> that's good. that's plenty. >> it's very good lemonade. thanks, y'all. >> who made it? how much do you charge for your lone star lemonade? >> are you going to tell us? >> how much do you charge? >> 25 cents. >> would you take a dollar? >> thanks a lot. >> where is your mother and dad? there's your mom. hi, mom. >> hits9lñ there. how about this? en. >> these guys want to say hi, too. right here. >> do you want some lone star lemonade? >> yes.#z >> would you like to sign the sign? you'll have to take the plastic off. >> what's your name? erin? how do you spell it, erin? what's your name? >> sheila. >> are you sisters? >> laura. >> that's my wife's name. >> my name is laura. are you sisters? >> you kno

first under president george w. bush and then under president obama who asked him to stay on making him the first defense secretary to serve administrations of both parties. yaits brings all of that experience and more to bear in a new book. it is called a passion for leadership. i'm pleased to have robert gates back at this table. welcome. >> thanks, charlie. >> rose: i want to talk about leadership first. define it for me. >> i tried to differentiate between being a leader and being a manager. managers are important but they have specific skills. finance, logistics, human relations, so on and so forth. and we need good managers. but leaders are people who lead the way into the future. who point out the direction and organization ought to go or a country ought to go. and then develops the strategies for moving the country or the institution in that direction. and one of the points that i try to make in this book is that there are leaders at every level. and you can be a middle manager in a private company or in a govern

while senator kerry went on to win the nomination before losing the general election to incumbent george bush. >> are you ready? fightu ready to take this on? are you ready not to give up? are you ready to change america? then you are ready for howard dean, the next president of the united states.

thank you very much, we appreciate your time. >> of course you hear hillary clinton's name and george bush and republicans and democrats to blame with education so that's one of the take aways i had was carlie spreading the blame across both sides. >> absolutely. one thing i heard her talk about was how big business and big government partner with each other to crush small competitors and usually you don't hear something like that from someone who has been in the suite of a major company. >> anti terror money battle. >> you can't every year beg for >> what she says the department of homeland security is getting all wrong about our city. >> they're not doing that that's the point. >> they shouldn't be they should focus on the basics when the recession hit -- >> it's a terrible way to be. >> a ballot initiative to raise panel talks about its chances. you know the basic bargain of america is if you work hard, and you do your part, you should be able to get ead and stay ahead. but so many families don't feel like their hard work pays off. that's not the way america is supposed to operate. i wa

the right has attracted more of a trail from the left, more intense the trail then the possible george bush or richard nixon and i think that there is a very logical reason that stood on or near the pinnacle of power this country for decades uniquely from the watergate era through 9/11 and you don't stick around at those levels unless you are really good and effective and that's why the left has had such an obsession and you see this even with barack obama's comments today he called him in response to this interview. it speaks to his extraordinary influence on the times and the central role that he occupies in the intellectual universe. >> he gets under their skin for sure. >> so, tell me about getting the interview because having been a press secretary in the bush administration at the end, he was a reluctant interviewer, so how did this come about that you had a chance to spend several hours with an even longer than he had agreed to and he opens up about everything? >> guest: there is a back story as you know from our dealings way back when we covered the white house for fox news. i trave

he made a deal with george bush -- jeb bush, a meeting that was held like romney was going to run but that it was jeb bush. >> it looked like mitt romney was going to jump into this race. believe me, if it were the old, rasul, moderate mitt romney, he would be very welcomed in this race. amy: you mean the planned parenthood supporting mitt romney? obamacare is based on romney care in massachusetts, which action he does provide funding for abortion. product of the heritage foundation. we all know where he came from. basically written by the insurance companies. but i think it was so important to finally -- whether trump was there are not, to address the real consequences of this kind of hateful, bigoted dialogue in this country. you about ato ask lawsuit that you launched six months ago. >> yes, they talked about surveillance last night. like, let's just forget about our civil liberties and our freedoms when it comes to fighting isis. you know, our country has been a lot worse danger than this, but i filed an action about six month ago against the fbi, the nsa, george bush, dick cheney

james baker had a great relationship with george bush.ssinger had a good relationship with nixon. those that did not have a good relationship. you never knew whether they were speaking from a position of power or knowledge. william rogers is a perfect example. thing isan interesting well about how the commander-in-chief use the pentagon. how does the pentagon today feel that barack obama views them, what is the dynamic of the relationship? david: there was some bad blood back during the debate over whether they were going to surge troops into afghanistan. the white house felt that the pentagon was leading them down the trail to another vietnam-like quagmire. on the pentagon side of the river, all the layers had changed since then, but it was still basically the same people at the white house. i think that the white house is always wary of the pentagon and what it is proposing. look, the pentagon is not looking to get involved in any more wars either. charlie: that is the interesting thing, david. people say that generals hate war more tha

in 1999 when i first met george w. bush, the idea that he had been a governor of texas -- man, that is an awfully big place. you have got to be a big campaign or to win in texas. was that it would be better and as a candidate. i had that idea where they had that exceptional field operation . you would see that with candidates all along the way. i know that you would certainly see that would governor huckabee. i was really struck the first time i went to little rock. kind of the similarities between arkansas and iowa. counties,ze, rural and iowa just like arkansas. and the idea,the too, that we are such a language -- levelre's the playing field. whether you have a lot of money toyou don't, the candidate work in are able to do that and finally i think that level being field gives the opportunity for that 20-year-old or 22-year-old staffer to really shine. i remember a young guy with .heir for a field staffer what do they do in cedar rapids? i recommended this young guy. he was on cnn. the national staff was like -- this guys

it i think some of the talk about the virtues of the law is really talk that is designed to say george bushin 2002 that's not something we want to take seriously with how to deal with syria and iraq today. the alternative courses that are parent -- terribly violent at the respect to isis abroad we want to go back to where we were to the criminal justice conception of the world. >> the white house held a conference on violent extremism. it was suitably vague. we didn't want to talk about islam is being cumulatively tie to terrorism. lots of groups have used violence and american revolutionaries were not target centered tories. i would not be a canadian if i would have been alive at the time. i would not have gone to war about abolition of land and it was not about tea by the way. >> and i weigh in on this one? >> the question will be on the table after you weigh. in very practical terms, what is it that one could do to try to cut the tie that young men for the most part deal between violence and ideological education? why is it championed what should be the equal rights of the muslims around

while senator kerry went on to win the nomination before losing the general election to incumbent george bush. >> are you ready? fightu ready to take this on? are you ready not to give up? are you ready to change america? then you are ready for howard dean, the next president of the united states. [applause] dean: wow. audience: dean, dean, dean, dean. dean: well, you guys, you have already got the picture here. i was about to say, you know, i'm sure there are some disappointed people here. you know what, you know something, you know something, if you had told us one year ago that we were going to come in third in iowa, we would have given anything for that. and, you know something, not only are we going to new hampshire, tom harkin, we're going to south carolina, and oklahoma, and arizona, and north dakota, and new mexico. we're going to california, and texas, and new york. and we're going to south dakota, and oregon, and washington, and michigan. and then we're going to washington, d.c., to take back the white house. yeeaaahhhh! we will not give up. audience: no. dean: we will not give up i

it's not south carolina, even george w. bush, george mccain 2 thousand. it's a new state with a coastal economy, with a tourism economy, with boeing building these giant jets with a lot of higher education, with a lot of football. it will be the reset of the campaign. it really starts at the first in the south in my view. >> i grew up in north carolina as you know. >> that's right. >> let me just, implicit in what you just said, it seems to me, is that this is now a two-man race. >> it is-- i disn mean to. it is a two-man race for that one lane. cruz an trump are fighting it out for the outside of washington break all the windows, throw a brick through the winnow campaign, i'm mad as hell, i'm not going to take it i heard a ted cruz ad that was paid for by a superpac which was brilliant in which he raises his voice about washington. but over here in the other lane is the lane that is very serious about a world that's gone to hell. that takes a look at hillary clinton, this is why republicans are panicked. i'm a republican and make no bones about it. we th

one of the things that made the post 9/11 theories of dick cheney and george bush so extremist is there is no more limitless power that a president han the power he can exercise during a theater of war. on a battlefield, there really is no law. everybody acknowledges that. terrorist say when men take up arms, law false. more is the ultimate expression of lawlessness in limitless powerful stuff on the battlefield, people shoot each other without having trials or due process. everyone agrees that is war to nobody thinks soldiers have to give opposing soldiers a trial before shooting them. that is what war is. what made these post-9/11 theories so radical is the assertion was made for the first time theaters of war were no longer confined to find a physical faces, the battlefield. it was now the case the entire planet was the battlefield. including u.s. soil. therefore, the limitless power that the president can exercise on a battlefield are now no longer confined to physical spaces. essentially the president is omnipotent everywhere because that is where the battlefield is found. what you

george bush promised, readzqñs lips, no new taxes.won an election, but what he really meant was, read my lips, add new debt. that is generationally immoral. our children deserve better. on this journey of purpose i commit myself to making this country a striving, thriving, triumph competitor in the world marketplace. i commit myself to an america where our standard of living, our educational and health care systems and our industrial output are second to none in the world. i commit myself to economic security for this generation and their children. this obligation to our young is as old as civilization. in the apache tongue with world for grandfather and grandson is the same. they understood linkage. they understood honor. they understood mutual obligation. in washington, there is no such wisdom. in washington it's all here and now. it's all polling data. the vision extends only to the next election. it is time to look to our children and feel our responsibility to them. that is my journey of purpose. i want to meet that responsibilit

matt: well, we used to think that that number was 40%, because that was the number that george w. bush was able to get. but that was back in 2000, 2004. much has changed. the latino vote has gotten much larger since then and as a result, republicans need to do better. and we' ve done a state by state analysis to look at that and our estimates nationally are that the republican party needs to be between 42% and 47% of the latino vote if they' re going to be competitive with the national electorate in 2016. fernando: matt, thank you very much for joining me today. matt: it' s my pleasure, fernando. and president obama found out in 2012, support from latino voters is the difference between victory and defeat in national elections. >> coming up -- an insider' s guide to the iowa caucus >> we need a sticker. fernando: iowa is supposed to presidential candidates. experts say the caucuses help reveal their strengths and weaknesses. so how did this century old tradition become the game changer in the political process? >> one. two. three. four. fernando: caucuses have been around for 100 years
