because of the drama it's going to be interesting to see if people evaluate george w. bush what that does to george hw bush. they did confront two similar problems in very different ways. another complicating factor there is if we have clinton dynasty stories it is going to be like c-span meets lancaster and york. it is just going to go on forever. is that it? >> i want to thank you all very much. everybody go out and vote.

it is about george hw bush. i had been asked to remind you that you will be videoed. >> john is a former boy wonder. he became a national affairs editor of "newsweek" at 26, by the age of 37 he had been named editor. those were not always fun years at "newsweek" especially in the time preceding the sale of the magazine in 2010. john excelled even in adversity. he was a wise, thoughtful and and successful editor of "newsweek" under impossible circumstances. as john's colleagues will tell you, even in the earliest years of his ascent he was wise beyond his years. much more capable of dry wit and ironic detachment than your typical, as we would say today, millennial. week after week, john would replenish the building with new ideas, very often drawn from his deep knowledge of history and religion, and literature. sometimes the boy wonder's sputter or fail to deliver on the promise they exhibited on the dawn of their careers. not jon meacham. his passage from journalism to book writing has been marked by distinction

in the background is george w. bush. little did i know back then that george w would also become president. president loves his boat. that is jeb and his daughter in the background. they used to go boating all the time. we still have a lot of fun. display atboat is on the presidential library in college station, texas at texas a&m university. it is a great place to go and visit. all the presidential libraries are great places to go. there is one just down the road, president kennedy's down in boston. if you get a chance, you should go visit the presidential library. funny story, we were out one , and the prime minister of canada was coming over to visit and they had a helicopter landing zone. we were waiting for the prime minister, and we were out on the boat. just as we got the call that the prime minister was getting ready to land, i caught a fish. so i am out there really get a fish with the president saying that we have to go. andinally gets the fish take off and we had to run over to meet the helicopter. as we get th

i think people look at george h.w. bush as a president who did a good job, who served his country and they have a lot of respect for him. if it was george w. bush who has been quite a gentleman in his post presidency, that wouldn't be as effective because there still is a lot of rough feelings over the iraq war, no question about that. but the fact george h.w. bush, the father, didn't say anything today, speaks volumes about where he's at, and as jamie has reported out, there are a lot his advisors already backing hillary clinton. >> yeah, it would be interesting if you had someone like a carter or clinton, if she wasn't the husband or the wife -- saying i can't vote for this woman, it would be a really interesting time. think of if the situation were worse, how we could be covering it. okay. always a pleasure. >> so happy to see you. >> thank you both. >>> other republicans join the former president in voting for hillary clinton. my eyelove is making ♪"allsomething unexpected.ays my eyelove is girls' night out. my eyelove

thank you. >> richard clarke has suggested perhaps george bush be tried as a war criminal. yoif you have any comments on that? >> yes. i don't think presidents are guilty of war crimes, period. >> you give bush a lot of credit for handling the financial crisis. there was an hbo movie about it that portrayed paulson, bernanke that maybe we should consult the white house. >> i think they did make policy but they didn't say the last minute was canceled the white house. they knew they had to and i think they did an extremely good job of bringing bush a loan thae contrary to all of his views. but i also think that he realized this earlier that he had messed up. and i think he was much more inclined to listen to paulson and bernanke. >> would you like to discuss the renewal of the saudi arabia concessions during this time? >> i'm not sure that i'm qualified to do that but i think it is certainly a very important consideration but i don't know the details sufficiently to give you an answer.

[cheers and applause] "you've gotta endorse george h. w. bush."t philosophy, and it is about character, and george bush wins hands down on both counts. [cheers and applause] "and then we want you to tear apart bill clinton." bill clinton's foreign policy experience is pretty much confined to having had breakfast once at the international house of pancakes. [cheers and applause] and the cultural war for the soul of america, that was my add on to it. there is a religious war going on in this country. it is a cultural war as critical to the kind of nation we shall be as the cold war itself, for this war is for the soul of america. the agenda that clinton and clinton would impose on america, abortion on demand, a litmus test for the supreme court, homosexual rights, discrimination against religious schools, women in combat units, that's change, all right. but that's not the kind of change america needs. it is not the kind of change america wants. and it is not the kind of change we can abide in a nation we still call god's country.

like when he debated george w. bush and sighed in exasperation at bush's answers.the word lock box -- >> i will put medicare and social security in a lock box and protect. lock box. lock box. >> over and over again. >> that was partly my fault. >> it was? >> i said we have to make sure that you get lock box thing in there. i didn't think he would do it five or six times and i didn't think that "saturday night live" would satirize it. >> i would put in it what i call a lock box. the lock box. lock box. >> after it was all over, gore began a whole new career. >> i used to be the next president of the united states. he began his passion for the environment and made the film, "an inconvenient truth." >> we are causing global warming. >> in 2007 he won the nobel prize. >> maybe gore, all these guys who might be less defined by politics than most, i'm not sure. a very -- i think he is a complicated man. you don't just learn how to drive... or solve the world's problems... be a dad... "or something" and we don't just make sandwiches "or something" we hand-slice avocado, p

" poll shows dukakis leading george bush. >> how do you blow a lead that big?n election that could have been won, should have been won and i didn't win it. >> how do you lose to a guy labeled a wimp? >> i made a decision which turned out to be maybe the dumbest decision. i simply would not respond to the bush campaign. i said no, i won't do it. >> in a move almost unthinkable today, dukakis decided to go positive in one of the dirtiest and nastiest campaigns in modern history. >> you'd better be ready for the attacks and you'd better have a carefully thought-out plan for dealing with them. >> the first attack, rumors metly unfounded, that dukakis suffered from depression. >> any medication taken for anything like that? >> do you think you're fit to govern by having medical records made public? >> i'm not going to pick on an invalid. >> my doctor will be happy to give you his full opinion on my condition and he will tell you that i am a very healthy guy. >> he dropped 8 points in one week. and then he handed the bush campaign a gift. he took a ride in an m-1 tan

. - but george w. bushg for a while and had consolidated the fundraisers and political leaders and governors and sort of the republican establishment were all behind bush. - i felt we had a clear route. we thought that we could sort of weave our way past lamar alexander and elizabeth dole, and that we would have a challenge from steve forbes, who had a personal wallet. but, of course, then along came john mccain. - senator mccain launched the "straight talk express" and started getting a lot of attention in new hampshire and started, you know, this freewheeling 24-hour-a-day press conference on his bus. - senator, how do you reconcile the fact that you were one of the most vocal critics on pork barrel politics. and yet, while you were chairman of the commerce committee, that committee set a record for unauthorized appropriations? i'm just kidding. no, i don't even know what that means. - he was sort of the one that was appealing to the frustrations of people who were only hearing from candidates who were sc

because, yeah, george w. bushto win with 35 to 40% of latino vote, but that was a long time ago, right? the proportion of the population that's latino now is significantly bigger, so to win the country, you have to win even more of the latino vote now than you did in 2000 or 2004. turns out the way latino decisions crunches the numbers, they think the proportion of the latino vote that a candidate has to win to get the presidency this year, is 47%. looking at the demographics right now, a republican candidate can't win the presidency without 47% of the latino vote. that's a daunting thing for the republican party, given how they've done in the past. but this year, it's not just any republican running for president, it's trump. and latino decisions just finished their own new nationwide poll of how trump is doing right now with latino voters, and he's at 19%. which is way worse than both of the last two republicans, who lost, let alone the last republican who won. and it is 28 points shy of where he'd have to be to

george w. bush and al gore were debating. somebody working for bush's media adviser was caught and convicted after she packed up a videotape of one of george bush's debate practice sessions and mailed the videotape to the al gore campaign. when the gore campaign received it, they did the right thing and handed it right over to the fbi. a woman did a year in prison for that one. weird stuff happens at debate. in the last election cycle in 2012 you might remember that first debate between mitt romney and president obama marked by an abnormally terrible performance by president obama. he's usually a good debater. but that first debate against romney in 2012, you all remember, right, he just didn't seem into it. his heart didn't seem like he was in it. mitt romney was superaggressive and obama was laid back. being held on the neat of barack and michelle obama's wedding anniversary. so yeah, maybe his mind was elsewhere. weird stuff happens in debates. weird circumstances intrude on debates sometimes. but even when an appreciation

the first was how george w. bush was selected as the republican nominee in the primary over john mccain. and if things were different otherwise, that would have changed the course of history, and second, al gore is fresh off of bill clinton and the democratic race as well. so i guess the question i have is as a historian looking back, with lessons in your work do you find we can learn as far as picking qualified leaders? [laughter] >> i'm not sure. i don't think that is a question i can easily answer. i will let it sit that if you don't mind. >> i just have one question. and one of the books he mentioned george w. bush's drinking in defense he stopped but it didn' did take them at ts very steps to grow up and i look around and i think sometimes they can be very dangerous because they are running around unimpaired and still thinking and acting on impulse and doing all sorts of stuff like what you imagined on abraham lincoln's words like saying i know what's neat what do this. i was asking if there's any reflections on

mitt romney, george w. bush. george h.w. bush said nothing that romney said. i don't believe it's decisive. when you get to a binary choice supreme court, supreme court. we had 3,000 people in pasadena on sunday night. most of them didn't support donald trump including mark le vine. they are now getting on board and voting for donald trump. they can't believe hillary clinton is commander in chief. >> we have to talk about it. because of the picture he put out showing a bowl of skittles comparing them. writing skittles are candy, refugees are people. we don't feel it is an appropriate analogy that we are learning. just with the pittsburgh paper fairly recently. this is not the first time donald trump said something that was distracting to his father's campaign. even people outside the political realm are noticing this. this is broken through just beyond the discussion inside the beltway. >> this is an absurd story. skittles itself used a metaphor four days ago comparing the mix of sweet and sour skittles to earth and saturn. that's metaphor. >> it's not offensi

george bush's son p. xas land commissioner in texas, has said he is voting for donald trump and has said other republicans in texas should vote for donald trump. marvin bush, the brother not in politics like needle bush that maybe people haven't paid attention to as much. marvin bush went on and did an interview and said he is voting for the libertarian candidate, gary johnson. they're all over the place. >> interesting tweaet from donad trump today. hillary clinton is taking the day off again. she needs the rest. sleep well, hillary. see you at the debate. as if raising questions once again about her stamina and her health. >> right. i mean, i think donald trump is obviously making an issue out of this. initially we recall his campaign manager kellyanne conway, other strategists there said he would be stepping back and not bullying her over the issue and wishes she would get well. obviously donald trump cannot help himself and will make this an george bush for as long as he possibly can. it will be intere

george. h.w. bush's two best friends, a ashley of ohio a democrat and son any montgomery of mississippi, a democrat. so bush, a man of the house, reaches out, he invites not only gingrich over for a beer in the residence, but he invites weber, because weber had run the campaign and vin told me the story. vin said nobody but george h.w. bush would think to invite the guy who ran the whip's campaign. there they are having a beer with john sununu and bush in the residence and they can tell, gingrich and weber can tell there is something the old man wants to say but he can't quite say it which was true of many things. and finally as they're getting up, weber says, mr. president, tell us what worries you most about us? and the president's relieved to have the opportunity. he immediately says, i worry that sometimes your idealism may get in the way of what i think of as sound governance. now at risk of pulling a rubio i want to repeat that quickly. i worry that sometimes your idealism will get in the way of wh

bush would be upset with george h.w. bush, he would say, well, at least, bar, i wasn't an hors d'oeuvre. [laughter] which is a pretty strong domestic card to play. laugh and i'm married to a mississippian, as you heard, and i've never had the courage to do that. [laughter] then he gave his life to business, gave his life to public service in many ways emulating his father who was a senate from connecticut for ten years. but a couple of things happened while he was president, and i think we are seeing those forces manifest themselves. i offer this for your editorial comment. one is the rise of reflexive partisanship. while this man was walking out in october of 1990 to the rose garden with george h.w. bush to announce a compromise with a democratic congress on taxes while we were in the midst of building up 500,000 troops in the gulf, newt gingrich went out to front door -- the front door. and bob walker, remember from pennsylvania, sees that newt has left the white house, he's rebelled against the president of his own par

>> it was george w. bush. >> he talked about it in 2004. >> look, well, what matt said was basically everybody looked at this idea that people would have to go back to their home countries and come back and thought it was a great idea. i can tell you right now, most immigration advocates didn't think it was a great idea. now, but what is true is i think that there has been some commonalities between some of the democratic plans and maybe what a george w. bush plan would have on other issues such as a path to citizenship. there is a huge difference in the way that george w. bush spoke of undocumented immigrants and the way donald trump speaks of them. he wasn't demonizing them in the way that donald trump has and i don't think that a lot of the things he talked about tonight would be the types of things that george bush would have been recommending. matt, do you really believe these, would george bush say something that as soon as somebody is arrested, without being convicted of of a crime, that they should be

bush, clinton. for me, the standout was george h.w. bush. i think he deserves a lot more credit than he got at the time for his leadership. -- themples, number 1 war in iraq, the war after iraq had invaded kuwait. at that time, we were very heavily dependent on arab oil. it would have had a profound economic impact on the united states. knitted together an international coalition, used diplomacy until there was no road for diplomacy, and then the theater operation was an overwhelming force. he had an exit strategy that was textbook presidential leadership followed by the collapse of the soviet union. has abefore in history great empire disintegrated without bloodshed. and yet president bush let us through that crisis without a single drop of blood being shed. history is going to create a much more kind and he was treated that the time. new cover the white house, you get to travel a lot. there is good to bad -- there is good and that it that. i got to go to places that most people only dream of. on the other hand, i was away from my family qu

george w. bushal gore knew a lot about federal policy, was very experienced in it. george w. bush came from texas, was burdened with the reputation of somebody who didn't know a lot of details. but guess what? george w. bush came across as more likable, especially in the post debate spin, which influenced the polls. so take a look at this full screen of the polling evidence from that race. before the first debate al gore went in he had an 8 percentage point lead over george w. bush. after that first debate they were tied. even though the night of the debate respondents thought gore won, in the news conference bush was portrayed as winner. then after the second debate, george w. bush took a two-point lead. after the third debate, he took a four-point lead. in the end al gore got more votes than george w. bush, but those debates clearly reset the race and gave george bush a head of steam which may have been what allowed him to survive that election, survive florida and become president, carl. >> that'

suffice word to austin and george w. bush said you turned down my old man for a job and that i got a my radar screen. so that's how we got to know each other. we didn't know each other before then and i really believe that for george w. bush, the son of a president, my story resonated with him. i think you took great pride that someone with my background could achieve things that i achieved and of course he was very instrumental in some of those achievements. >> host: before we turn to your service in washington, you start this council and then become secretary of state and then governor bush appointed you to the texas supreme court. and there's a chapter in there when you talk about the core service and it becomes part of a theme in the book where you are frustrated with the way democrats treated you during your service. but you expressed frustration from conservatives treated you during your time in one of the early examples you cited from your time and your texas supreme court and some of the cases you had to deal with wit
