so in the george w. bush administration, cheney has a theory of what changed when brent scowcroft says cheney changed, cheney's response is what changed was 9/11. that changed everything. brent scowcroft was not in office when the united states was attacked. and that is the image of himself that the record shows that is not true. things changed those conflicts between cheney and powell began in the first weeks of the administration. they took different positions on north korea. different positions on climate change and the kyoto accord. the united states started to move to pull out of international treaties that powell did not want to pull out of. didn't start was september 11th. so it wasn't just two people they had developed the intense dislike of each other with the bureaucratic tribalism. the people behind cheney had personal and work ties. yes there were conservatives but it is more than that. and they had personal ties and they did see each other a lot. powell didn't have the same personal network but h

that is how i got on with him. >> let's talk about working with president bush. >> george h w bush was my favorite client of all time. after that happened, i had to clear with some of his other friends, jennifer fitzgerald. that i was flown to houston to do another interview at the house. i showed up at the bush -- in my three piece suit. the door opened from the side of the house and outcomes george bush in a t-shirt. he looks at me and said if you will get out of that silly vest i will cook you breakfast. that was the kind of guy he was, just magnificent. we went into the kitchen and he gives me a cup of coffee and i'm standing there with a cup of coffee, took my coat off. he is cooking eggs. incomes barbara bush. she looks at me and looks at george and looks at me and then looks at george and she says george, if that man still to drop a copy of the floor i will never forgive you because the chinese delegation is coming in to stay with us tonight for dinner. i don't know what got into me but i said i came to your door in a 3-piece suit. i won't spill anything. she laughed and he laug

the 1st or george w. bush george bush's son before he became u.s. president or talking to barack obama or talking to king hussein of jordan or talking to saddam hussein there was never a sense that he was going to do that thing that quote dictators do they always do the same thing they always say i had to do what i had done for the good of the country because he was there for so long that he had a period of 25 years where he didn't have to say that even if he'd said it in the 1st place we're well i guess what you're referring to is. the reason for what you are referring to again is eternal pursuit for what he thought stability and the stability meant the stability of his rule the fact that he was opposed to george bush jr in you know as far as some or some of the u.s. governments at the time overtures towards the palestinian issue for instance you know when he was opposed to certain ideas initiatives especially when it when the pack up the prism of out of oddly prison off a fog in rejecting that initiative dur

mccain beats george w. bush00 but doesn't become the candidate. >> well, and then in 2008, right, let's talk about what happened there, because that's when barack obama was on the rise, hillary clinton is campaigning, in portsmouth, new hampshire, a woman in a coffee shop asked her what would normally be a throw away question and how do you do it, how do you keep up beat. and this is how she responded. >> this is very political to me. it is not just personal. it is not just public. i see what is happening. we have to reverse. it and some people think elections are a game. they think it's like who is up or who's down. it's about our country. it's about our kid's future. >> she went on to win new hampshire. is that just an example of how sometimes being vulnerable can make a candidate stronger? >> well, that is part of it. i think also there are some candidates who, whether it's fair or not, are not always viewed as authentic. and it's often, it's just not fair in most cases. what hillary clinton did in that momen

bush: appreciate you all. thanks. thanks a lot. thank you. >> and now more of george w. bush on the campaign trail during the 2000 presidential race. from october 1999, he visits keene, new hampshire, where he meets with voters, takes questions from reporters, and learns about the town's pumpkin festival. [laughter] >> my daughter is a texan. gov. bush: really? lubbock, texas? >> thank you, governor. [indiscernible] >> appreciate it. thanks. >> win, george. you have to. gov. bush: i am out there working. i'm coming over. that is why i can't be at that debate tonight. >> where are you tonight? gov. bush: i think montpelier. >> ok. ok. gov. bush: there is a big event. >> you are high-tech. [laughter] >> oh, what a great idea. >> not debating. thank you, george. gov. bush: i love my wife. i'm going to be with my wife. next thursday night, she is being honored as distinguished alumna from smu. surely people understand they wanted to honor my wife. >> allegations that you are trying to avoid these debates -- gov. bush: there will be plenty of debates. september 2 is a debate.

to most republicans, george h.w. bush. and, of course, bush talked about his big mo. new hampshire saved reagan in '80. of course, you know the rest of that story. 1988 when it was george h.w. bush supposed to sweep through iowa. he got beat there. came in third place behind pat robertson and bob dole. goes to new hampshire. everybody's saying this guy -- again, another vice president, this guy is beaten. he's battered. no way he can win. he wins in new hampshire and makes a vow that night, i will not forget what you have done for me here. i think dukakis came in third place, in the iowa caucuses as well, in '88.

it's very plainspoken with george h. w. bush when i started working with him i realized she was a very kind gentle man she was sophisticated and witty so i wrote a speech which he delivered in philadelphia during the pennsylvania primary and there was a line about how he wanted to create a kinder gentler nation. so everybody remembered the economic side so we got up to 1988 and he was accepting the nomination. you have the tough guy on the one side and a kinder gentler bush there is more than one tone and that shouldn't happen. two more question questions in e turnover to the audience. >> it is a collaborative effort that is a team effort and you are only as good as the staff around you. the president has to say i'm going with these people and with this advice. god help us if we ever have a president doesn' that doesn't sd himself with good people, god help us if we ever have a president who fires the good people and keeps the bad people. 250 years since the birth of america if you're going toan wre a symphony all speech, anythi

he and george h.w. bushate, and reagan invited all the other candidates. george bush was not at his best. he didn't react very well. but he had been tricked. so reagan knew exactly what he was doing, took advantage of this moment. that is pretty much the end of george herbert walker bush's campaign. >> he went on to win 44 of the next primaries. >> that's why new hampshire matters. it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to set the timetable for the rest, but it could, and it has in the past. >> i want to squeeze in one more. there's the famous story of jimmy who? jimmy carter went to a country store, he introduced himself, said he was running for president. the man at the store was hard of hearing. he didn't catch the whole name, he said jimmy who? which became a catchphrase. now 45 years later, pete buttigieg is playing up his rise from a little mayor of a smaller town. >> well, right, and again this is -- iowa is the first contest, right? the caucus, we all know more about caucuses than we did before. new

this is george bush junior. he is also highly decayed. the most decayed president is woodrow wilson. pretty much looks like he has leprosy. the question noise comes up, is there a rhyme or reason why decaying faster than the remaining? i just don't understand if there is any reason behind it. perhaps he is in a wind pattern or rain pattern that makes them more susceptible to cracking. if you look pretty closely at this president, who was one of eight virginian presidents, look into his right eyeball. that is a wasps nest. them ines you will see the nostrils of the sculpture. ronald reagan was struck by lightning a few years back. probably the most difficult president to identify his back here behind reagan. no one has ever gotten this right. i had to really study have hard. that is warren harding. behind him is john adams, who is hard to see because of all of the overgrowth. the most interesting fact i have come across through a lot of my research is ronald reagan, when he was asked what his proudest accomplishment was in life, it had not

george bush's ordinary instinct would have been, come on, let's all just do this. ngry, because gordon humphrey, who was a very, very conservative senator, had confronted him right before he came out, and bush had been put back on his heels a bit. he also said, president bush admitted, he said, not my finest hour, when he sat there and stared straight ahead. it is amazing when you think about it, of the political talent on that stage. think about it. you had two american presidents, howard baker, bob dole, john anderson, phil crane, and the other thing that bob dole said that night to jim baker was, i'm going to clean this up for the morning audience, we'll get you. you'll hear about this. and yet one nice thing about america in all of this is, remember how bob dole said farewell to george h.w. bush? remember when he was lifted out of the chair. >> beautiful. >> in the capitol rotunda to salute george bush. that was an era where you go from that kind of divisiveness to a salute in camaraderie. >> a beautiful moment, and adrienne elrod, just looking back at that, tha

the street fight of his life to beat george bush to get that the nomination. juan: that fight is the source of the term voodoo economics. juan: that's right. pushing an issue he developed in 1978 and is doing radio commentaries about it, and kemp-roth tax cuts become a centerpiece for the 1980 campaign is really the devil and bush because he can't match it. came up with his own tax plan but it is more focused on business and not the individual where reagan was focused on the individual and less on business so bush unwisely starts attacking a popular plan of reagan's that reagan is scoring politically with and calls it voodoo economics. reagan was so furious over is that he almost didn't pick bush, for his running mate. it was a big sticking point with reagan why he didn't pick bush as his running mate. in detroit, in 1980. juan: we are about out of time and we want to ask the questions from the audience, have the questions prepared. but i want to come back to this because we started by talking about trump/reagan. reagan gets a tax reform plan and he is able to

attend, and senate leaders and congressional leaders will attend as well as the incumbent president george bush happening right now. president bush and the men running to replace him together at the white house talking about the nation's financial crisis. >> and the word gets out in the media that obama seemed supremely presidential in the white house and john mccain did not. >> the world economy fell apart in that campaign, and he somehow, as a junior baby senator, looks more presidential handling it than a legendary war hero in john mccain. >> you know, i think from that point on, we wouldn't have said it to each other, but i think in all our minds we knew that the odds were almost impossible. mccain resumes campaigning the next day and the first presidential debate will go ahead as scheduled. >> before the first debate, i was a nervous wreck. i turned to obama and i said, how are you feeling? and he said, just give me the ball, man. i'm ready. i'm your 70lb st. bernard puppy, and my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. ahh no, come on. i saw you eating poop earlier. my f

he was from nearby illinois, local hero in george bush is from new england and texas. he has less ties to new england than he does to any prep school, juan: you mean to iowa? craig: right, less ties to iowa than any prep school then new england so he beats reagan. tom pettit of nbc says we that night, witnessed the political funeral of ronald reagan. reagan is out. that's it. five weeks later, he scores an enormous comeback in the new hampshire primary. we all remember the debate, the famous national debate. "i am paying for this microphone mr. green." and that starts the beginning of his come back against bush but he goes to detroit, the party is still divided. he needs to pick bush to unify the party as they always have, nixon picks agnew to unify the party, both practice perfection -- that was the tickets letting both parties practiced to perfection in the 1940's tom of -- 1950's, the 1960's into the 1970's. it unifies the party but goes through 30 primaries, the nomination. the nomination is not just reagan's for the asking. he has to fight the street fight of his

if you go down to george bush elephants on his tie. james garfield, from what i have read, had an interesting talent where he could write with one whilen latin simultaneously writing with his other hand in greek. is sometimes difficult for people to recognize. i do not know why. i think he is pretty true to form. he sits there in the back and he looks fairly young. gerald ford is right next to him. the interesting thing is he was the most difficult of all of the sculptures to create. his features are so un-pronounced. president lincoln was the easiest because his features are so pronounced. thomas jefferson is the third most decayed president here. he is starting to follow the bad. -- fall apart pretty he died on the same day as adams, on july 4, which i thought was interesting. days in the summer, we allow our guests to walk through here. but you can see this area is pretty wet. we have had significant weather here lately. we have never seen snakes back here. but it looks like an area that is completely conducive to snakes. sure our g

america needs george bush and barbara bush as first lady. >> george bush will be the 41st president ofcan people was we want more reagan, we want more of what we had. bush was the closest thing to a third term for ronald reagan. >> ronald wilson reagan, the 40th president of the united states, in two days he leaves office as our oldest president and as one of the most popular ever. >> ronald reagan was the chief architect of the 1980s. you don't always identify a president with the years, but in this case, reagan should be identified with the '80s. >> that you call it a reagan revolution, i'll accept that. but for me it always seemed like the great rediscovery, the rediscovery of our values and common sense. as long as we remember our first principles and believe in ourselves, the future should always be ours. once you begin a great movement there's no telling where it will end. >> the very firmness of his rhetoric enabled him to be a pragmatist. so with that faith in ronald reagan as he's our conservative warrior. the fact at that he raised taxes and appointed two pro-choice supreme c

this is george bush jr. you can see where he's got his elephants on his ties. a lot of people love seeing that. the most decayed president is woodrow wilson. pretty much looks like he has leprosy. the question comes up is there a rhyme or reason as to why these guys are decaying at a faster rate than the remaining. i just don't understand or know if there is any reason behind it. perhaps he's in a wind pattern or rain pattern that makes him more susceptible to cracking. i don't know. if you come look closely at this president who was one of eight virginian native presidents, look in his right eyeball. that is a wasps nest which is not uncommon. often you see them in the nostrils of the sculptures. lyndon johnson is starting to lose the end of his nose. ronald reagan was one of them that was struck by lightning a few years back. he's been successfully cleaned up since. probably the most difficult of all of the presidents to identify is back here behind president reagan. no one's ever got this right. as a matter of fact i had to really study him hard to figure ou

and they we re wanted to beat george bush and they were nervous, are you wanted to beat george with the not very high turnout in iowa. what is it making people nervous and depressing turn out? that's the great question because we've heard for the last year democrats cannot wait to get out and vote against donald trump but we did not see that turnout in iowa and there is a fear of divisions in the party and make —— maybe not everybody will get behind the nominee and maybe trump wins another four years, that's a big concern for voters. is there a name you are hearing about that is not particularly mentioned? mike bloomberg, are people talking about him? lots of moderates and centrists are concerned thatjoe biden might not be the saviour for the party are starting to look towards michael bloomberg. he has lots of money, he makes donald trump look poor and he is waiting for a super tuesday in a few weeks. very interesting. i remember 2004 and the feeling that we've got to be george bush, that was the overriding concern, the height of the iraq war, it feels like that now and it does

i'm george bush. bush andy wife laura i'm looking for some lone star lemonade. any? y'all have >> that's for my wife. we are buying some lone star lemonade. senator, would you like some lone star lemonade? >> very good lemonade. ?> who made it how much do you charge for your lone star lemonade. >> are you going to tell us? a dollar?take >> journey back to previous new hampshire primaries this sunday at 2:00 p.m. eastern on american history tv. next, a postdoctoral research associate at princeton university explores the history of medicaid and medicare in the united states explaining how discussions on universal health care have evolved since the 1960's. this interview was recorded at the american historical association meeting. >> george aumoithe is joining us from our studios in new york. thanks for being with us on american history tv. >> thanks for having me. >> you have devoted a considerable amount of time studying medicare and medicaid. take us back to that time period and how this legislation was significant at the time and how it has evolved. >> that's a grea

george w. bush took them off of that sanctions list and then when president obama came into office the united states' relationship with india really changed for 2 reasons obama was a very big and a very good weapon salesman trump is better but obama was quite good and so when obama comes into office there are no weapons sales or not many weapons sales from the united states to india but time he leaves there's over $15000000000.00 in sales along with a whole 'd more kind of like planned out as well as this deal to build 6 nuclear power plants in india for a cost of $10000000000.00 so when trump comes in the united states' relationship with india has changed and this has come about because the united states relation with pakistan has fallen apart particularly in the years since 911 and of course if you all remember underneath president obama we have the pivot to asia really united states military where china was now and so china and india have a very contentious relationship india and i mean china and

after that, john kerry versus george bush. the george bush win was a statistical anomaly based on exit poll data. what we used to, hold other countries to the standard of using as polls to get a check and balance on other elections, we have now diminished. and now, what we do with our exit poll data is we have two companies collaborate together data and thenl , they receive that raw data and then they hold onto it. and it is secret, and no one is allowed to share any of it until the actual poll numbers come out . and then they massage the data to match up with the so-called counted votes. there is no check and balance whatsoever in our entire voting system. and i think we are getting a really good look on the democrat side how corrupt it is. the democratic party, undemocratic process of electing their people. it is absurd. host: go ahead and respond. kathryn: the caller brings up a good point, which is, how do we verify the authenticity of the votes? this is something a lot of andthis is something a lot of states are starting

first steps to open with china, i think in the aftermath of the tiananmen square massacre, george herbert walker bush did not do enough to push back on china. i do agree with john on his assessment of clinton, of george w. bush and obama on china. i think they counted on dialogue and trying to bring china into the community of nations as a way to respond to that threat. i think it is abundantly clear that did not work. china was going to do what china was going to do. while we are a country that tradees in rules-based and other mechanisms, it is not necessarily that way in china. we got it wrong for a long time. host: how involved with your group in the creation or negotiations, discussions the white house had leading up to this china trade deal? guest: from the early stages and during the campaigns we told all the candidates back in 2016, here is the challenges with china. here are possible ways to respond. we did find president trump and his team were very agreeable in terms of being aggressive to take action. we have seen that in a number of respects. the mechanisms they are using right now, the t
