but i always liked george bush, george h.w. bush.ater became friends with his son and that was a harder hill to climb. [laughter] >> because -- because i disagreed with him on several things and he reversed to giving you a balanced budget and he went back to trickle down economics and he was mad at me because i beat his dad. and so i had this wonderful relationship with george h.w. bush. we did things that i wrote about at length in the book, about fighting to help people start their lives again after the tsunami and his son has ahead an american effort and the united nations asked me to stay on as the coordinator for tsunami relieve and i did it. and then we did the same thing after katrina and we had an amazing time. and we worked together hand in glove and it was very important because even in the united states, if a natural disaster is big enough, there will be needs that will not be filled by the existing government relief program. so, that work is important. and then my friendship with george w. bush, to the things that brought

george w. bushto help haiti. and i had that working thereby then already for a year, again on an know voy, an envoy, we got together and raised this money and decide we could best help the small businesses reconstitute themselves because they were wiped out, we did a really good job of it. i think. then, later i was able to raise almost 500 million for just on my own, for the initiative in addition too money that americans had given. by the billions. if you forget about whatever we were fighting about and you agree onut the same goal, then it is amazing how often you come to consensus. >> youse say that, and you -- i don't want to trivialize the numbers, put them in detail here whether the tsunami in asia or haiti, or whether it katrina. you teaming up with the other presidents and clinton global foundation, billions of dollars, you went to the sites andpl met people had deep connecttions, i love story in sri lanka, that is stunning to me, the mother comes up to you says, would you please name my ch

george w. bush library dedication in 2013. i know you were there that day, i was as well. still doing this work, trying to establish justice with his every breath as a president and former president. peter baker, this is live from washington, d.c., a town in the midst of a major transition of its own as we talk about the transitions of president carter's times. how does the election that's just been had hangover or color any emotion on this day today? >> well, you're right. it's a town in transition between two very different presidents. in some ways there's a comparison made to that in 1981 when you had a one term democrat who lost office in part because of inflation and because of other issues like that and being succeeded by somebody he didn't necessarily have great respect for, but who had been more successful politically, someone who had been an entertainer and appealed to a populist discontent with washington, but this is a very different era. as much as carter and reagan didn't see eye to eye

we've had 2018, george hwd bush. 2004, ronald reagan.is striking that you look at all the details... the air force base just as it arrives here at the u.s. capital right outside the steps there will be another 21-gun salute has they arrived there and the casket is moved with its pallbearers that include the carter grandchildren. walking with the casket into the capitol rotunda. >> his grandchildren would serve as honorary pallbearers. he is set to lie in state there. let's watch this and listen and together. >> you think about those that will be present today. his beautiful family there to remember him. his grandchildren as we just mentioned, honorary pallbearers. they will be participating in the ceremony. a special honour guard will be present consisting of... the chief of staff of the army, the chiefs of the marines, naval, staff of the air force, space operations, command of the coast guard. all will be there to honour the late president jimmy carter, our 39th president. >> it was something i said last hour that part of his pushing b

history but i asked george w. bush once why he kept norman minute. it's not like george w. sh could not have found -- it's not like he could not have found a republican to be the secretary of transportation. norm was a relatively liberal democrat. that is how he described himself, as a liberal democrat from the bay area of california, the child of immigrants. often, people from that demographic have a very different view of how government should work and what the role of government is. and that was a little different than how george w. bush viewed the role of government so i asked him why did you keep norman panetta in your cabinet when you could have gotten somebody from your own party to do it? his answer really struck me. he said there was no better servant for america then norman panetta. i thought like what a legacy to leave. not that he was the best member of the democratic party or norm agreed to do whatever i told him . norm was the most loyal to my views his view was that there was no better servant for america and what an incredible thing to be known for. host: one

we were also talking about trump and george w. bush because there's this moment where george w. bush walks in. trump and melania remain seated. barack obama there stands up and look at that from george w. bush like, hey, we're buds as he ignores the incoming president entirely. what do you think is going on here? >> i love zapruder, the tape and breaking it down. i could do this all day. now here's what went through my mind when i saw that. got to say it. what went through my mind is that w's father, papa bush 41, george herbert walker bush, would have extended a hand. that's what i think. do i think that papa bush would have been a trump voter? no. would he have had the decorum and the civility to extend a hand to donald trump? i think he would have. and i'm not letting trump off the hook either. i'm blaming all of them. you know, it always bothered me. obviously, january 6th bothered me, but it bothered me that donald trump left washington without the decency of going to joe biden's inauguration. i mean, there are moments in time when you've got to put it all aside and for the

it's a good story and true, but i like george bush or h.w. bush. and then later became friends with son. and that a harder hill to climb because. because he had that because disagreed with him on several things and he reversed to giving you a balanced budget and three surplus in a row and he bagged that he went back to trickle down economics and and he was at me because i beat his dad. so i had this wonderful with george h.w. bush we did things that i wrote about at length in the book about fighting to help people start their lives again after the tsunami and his son son has got the head an american effort there and. then the united nations asked me to stay on as the coordinator for tsunami relief and. i did it. and then we did the thing after katrina and we had an amazing time and we worked together hand in glove. it was very important, even in the united states, if a natural disaster is big enough, there'll needs that will not be filled by the existing government relief programs. there just always are. so that was and then all my friendship with

if you look what's happened with george bush in 2004, george bush said, you know what, i'm not going to do the traditional thing where i'm i'm move from my conservative base and into the middle to win votes. what bush did in oh four is he said, no, i have to go win conservative votes. i'm going to motivate my base and i'm going to turn them out and i'm going to win. and he was successful. barack obama has done the same thing. instead of coming to the center, this guy has gone far left and he's won. so if anybody thinks that hillary clinton is going to be moderated by bill clinton and come to the center and be a moderate, you're absolutely wrong. she is going to go over and help govern with bernie sanders, a socialist, elizabeth warren. this will be the team that will have in place running our country. and if you look at the socialist policies that bernie advocates for that, elizabeth advocates for and now hillary advocates for these don't offer upward mobility. they don't offer prosperity. they bring you despair, whether it's cuba or venezuela or argentina or southern european countri

bush administration. you have seen as the president's row we are calling here. president and first lady's row. bill and hillary clinton, georgera bush. barack obama, michelle not there today. president-elect trump and melania and in front of him we have the president and first lady, the bidens, and kamala harris and her husband, doug emhoff. bret baier, as we await for the procession to get underway additional thoughts from you. >> bret: first of all, being in that cathedral is quite something. the cathedral choir with "the road home" opening the ceremony. you talk about steve ford, he will read what gerald ford wrote for this moment and ted mondale will read what vice president walter mondale wrote for this moment that is very powerful. you will hear voices from president ford and vice president mondale through their family members. and obviously a big moment for president biden delivering this eulogy. you know, we talked about humility for president carter. as the casket was coming in they played hail to the chief. at the beginning of president he said i don't want to hear hail to the chief. i don't want the pomp and circum

george and laura bush. george and barbara bush very tight.bviously the clintons have had a very unusual marriage. obviously joe biden and his wife jill very tight. donald trump and melania for the most part seem to live in different worlds. it's not a unique situation in terms of the tight partnership that he had with rosalynn. it was among the closest. she loved being a part of the action. she loved being a part of the decisionmaking and counseling that our greatest first ladies do on a daily basis. and she was heartbroken when they left the presidency. she liked it. she wanted to keep doing it. so as he took on this new role post presidency, she was with him supporting him every step of the way. being married for 77 years that's got to be one of the longest marriages in american history never mind presidential history. it was a great marriage. i can understand why he said that. i'm sure ronald reagan would have said the same thing about nancy. i think lyndon johnson would have said the same thing about lady bird. i know george w. bush feels

the coolest one there. >> george w. bush and you and me are going to hooters after this. george w. rinking talks about in his book, decision points does mention he got a dui in 1974, does anybody have any idea how we view had to be to get a dui in 1974? in. [laughter] >> you couldn't have driven through a mall food court and they would tell you to take the back roads from their. [laughter] >> a fun fact, carter, all this oldest living president in history, he survived the 45 years so if you want the math on that, trump would be 82 at the end of his term. have to live another 45 years which would make him the same age as mitch mcconnell. [laughter] don't go anywhere, mike baker knows what's really up and will he come back, he will weigh in on the biggest conspiracy theories and a game of spy or high. watch this.

first of all, it's been since 2018, george h.w. bush'seral, when all the presidents got together like this. but also we see jd vance, members of the supreme court, congress, republicans, democrats. one of the things that jimmy carter preached when he was in sunday school was, we need a willingness to listen to people that we don't always agree with. and so here at his funeral, there are certainly people that don't agree with each other, but they're all there in the pews to honor him. >> no question about that. a moment of unity in the country when it's needed. in very polarizing times. certainly jimmy carter knew that he was hoping to survive through the election. he did so that he could vote for the vice president, kamala harris. obviously, she did not win. jimmy carter reached out to donald trump when he was president, was critical of him, but also tried to reach out to him with thoughts of his own on domestic and foreign policy. as we await this moment here inside the cathedral, we've seen john kerry, former secretary of state, former

americans have been experiencing, not for years now in america, but for decades and, you know, george h.w. bush is elected and george h.w. bush yields to bill clinton. bill clinton is elected eight years. he yields to george bush, who has eight years in office. george w boorstin yields to barack obama. pendulum swings back the other direction. barack obama, of course yields to donald trump. donald trump then yields to joe biden. joe biden yields back. donald trump pendulum back and forth. and this is a tough moment for us to know, navigate, but, you know, if you think about even president obama's journey which i think is interesting and important for us as, we wrap up, you know, in 2000, president was then just a state senator who had lost his first congressional race that year. bobby rush by about 24 points, lost his first congressional race, just like bill clinton lost first congressional race and. george w bush lost his first congressional race, knocked down on the ground. they get back up. barack obama tells the story. he couldn't even get into the democratic national convention. that was i

ronald reagan went back to beloved ranch in california and george bush paints a lot.t jimmy carter threw himself into a democracy peacemaking around the world. i remember one particular event in 1984 when haiti was coming unglued and the military leader had taken over the presidency. in jimmy carter and colin powell were there port-au-prince and i but as at the time trying to get him to leave the country. and the prime minister or the president at the time. it was coming down to the 11th hour and 59 seconds. the 82nd airborne had actually departed pope air force base and was going to invade haiti. we were all wondering why are carter and colin powell still there question mark why have they not left? it will get dangerous if the shooting starts. to his credit jimmy carter stayed until the very last possible moment and convinced him to leave haiti the 82nd airborne invasion was called off and there was a peaceful transition, peaceful as can get in haiti to a different president. and it really was congresswoman, remarkable feat of diplomacy on jimmy carter and colin powe

here's george w. bush and first lady laura bush interesting how barack barack obama stood up to let them through again. um, saying hello to the former vice presidents al gore, mike pence george w. bush. >> i may have missed it, jake, but i do not think former president bush or laura bush shook hands with. >> they walked right past it. >> i with trump's i would find that very surprising if they didn't. >> maybe we didn't see that. >> we might not have seen it. the the angle keeps shifting back and forth. right. might still happen. um, but you see, barack obama and donald trump having what seems like friendly chit chat there is former president bill clinton with first lady and secretary of state hillary clinton walking around on the other side. it's, of course, the closest to the seats, but also avoids the potential awkwardness of a moment between the trumps and the clintons that might not be as warm as the ones she's having with the former vice president. so let's go to kaitlan collins, who's outside the ca

gerald ford and jimmy carter you can see laura bush excuse me shaking hands with everybody marilyn and dan quayle behind them and you see president obama's dad georgere is not a lot of form standing up and shaking hands all around here president trump didn't stand up when bush entered. joe what do you make of this scene? >> while the civic rituals we have developed martha is good to be with you and how we act they are very useful to remind americans that have fun and we are all americans pierce and get along better than others and at the most winsome moment today steve for standing up and delivering the eulogy his father ideal to rachel's eulogy. that's the presidents club. that really does point out the fact that only presidents no more presidents have to go through. so even though a lot of water under the bridge george aw bush became very good friends with bill clinton they traveled the world doing good deeds. jerry ford jimmy carter traveled the world doing good deeds and i think it's useful to the country to see what they saw today that eventually go to the point where you say goodbye and hope everyone shows up and behave themselves. thank they

[applause] yeah, even for. well, mr.. i'll bet that never gets old. no. nice. thank you very much. well, it's great to have with us and as claudine mentioned, one of the stunning things about this book as you go through it is how many of the issues you had to wrestle with are still on our plate today, whether it's the price of oil, shockingly, bailing chrysler again, because we remember the controversy that accompanied it when you had to do it, what's going to happen to the west bank then? it was salt. now it's start iran, afghanis, everything's old, is new again, huh? that's almost

and that, of course led to the election of george bush in 2000 and a 2016. again, have donald trump and in two books i wrote i wrote his connections to putin. but i mean, he was doing that in the open he was saying, let's russia if you're listening send those emails and they dribbled out out bit by bit in the new york times and it became a big issue that really undercut hillary clinton's campaign and led to trump's election in 2016 and 2020. we all know what was happened and we're are at it again. i think in 2024. now, when you say we're at it again, i know you mentioned earlier that that trump has said that he has that congress with putin. is there something specific that you think that you can kind of see as as being what happens next if trump is elected president. you know, it took me 33 years to unravel this. i'm not going to predict what's going to happen. i can't say everything that has happened. but i would be stunned if there wasn't information coming out on, a massive scale from russia right now. there are you know, and and there was in 2016 and 202

so you're talking about george bush, bill clinton, and also brock obama. the come president joe biden will deliver the eulogy and of course there's a past and future preston will be among the congregation. donald trump will also be here, as well as go here. talk about, do we cost us time in the white house and seems a long time ago now. and also the what keep it after. but you'll also be to man, but not just as a governor does a diplomat and as a president. but he'll put a man, but as a father, a grandfather, of course, a husband to rosalind for 77 years when we have the the, the national farewell to jimmy carter, which case under way and just under an hour. okay. i'm just saying, no, we're looking at some of the pictures that we've been seeing of the call it seems has. what looks like it may have arrived or it's just arriving. i'm seeing these live pictures where he supported apartheid says optic. i certainly didn't condemn them. that he didn't because against these trustees and el salvador, that he essentially gave the indonesian government that i'd like

twice in the century, george bush and donald trump in that altered the trajectory of our politics. it marginalizes the vast majority of american people. we have gotten condition to it but it is strange to have an election it comes down to six or seven states and everybody else is watching what happens, pennsylvania, georgia, and arizona. why don't we have an election for president like the election for representative, senator, mayor. whoever gets the most votes wins. not a vice president in the race whether it's kamala harris or i think i remember al gore was in the same situation. counting the electoral college votes. people don't even understand it anymore. the republican colleagues were cheering and stomping their feet and acting like it was the republican national convention. our job was just to be counting the votes. people don't understand it. it is time for a refresh. it's a good opportunity to do it. trump is proud of the fact he won the popular vote by 3 million votes away joe biden was proud of the fact he won by 7 million votes four years ago. why don't we agree to have

did it in 2000 when george bush was elected.ohn lewis and barbara boxer did it in 2004 after george bush was reelected. perhaps we can move past that where that becomes the norm. >> i mean, i would just say those are like constitutional procedures, like there's a there are provisions in the constitution that allow for objections. >> there aren't sure there are there aren't provisions in the constitution to do what donald trump did on january 6th. right? >> yeah, that's correct. but if you accept the loss, and i think, by the way, the pennsylvania objectors were in rightful stead in 2021, too. but if you accept the loss then then you want this to be a purely perfunctory, ceremonial thing. i think you have to look backward and see when did this subject these objections start? and i think you have to say they started in 2000. >> well, but, brad, i mean, this was taken in 2021 to a level that we i mean, we this was the interruption of the peaceful transfer of power, which these objections were not. and they, you know, democrats clea

for instance, george bush was getting ready. george w bush was getting ready to invade iraq. i was strongly against it. i wrote op ed piece that was in the new york times and, later reprinted in other places called just war or a just war. and i define what a just war was in christian terms. and that pointed out in that editorial that the primary supporters of, a totally fallacious and unnecessary war in iraq, was a southern convention leadership. so were more warlike. they were for the penalty and they were for a lot of things that that that they can find verses in the bible to support that war against own personal beliefs. so my wife and i have separated personally from the southern baptist convention, but we're still a and in my church in plains. but if one of your domestic policy team had said, well, mr. president, i understand your reasons, i understand your explanation, have billy graham come over? what could it hurt if if you had been counseled that? there might be good politics behind and just softening the line a little bit? could you have bought yourself a little lov

former president trump, soon to be president trump, president biden, president clinton, president george w. bush president obama, they're all going to be together. they were not all together. biden's inauguration, trump refused to go. carter was ill. so this is the first time they've all been together since george h.w. bush's funeral. and of course, they weren't all presidents, but they will actually be together. and, you know, i just am thinking back, um, talking to jimmy carter ten years ago when i asked him about his legacy, he said, you know, what's your greatest legacy? he said, i would say keeping the peace. i kept my country at peace during very difficult times. and it is his passing that is actually causing this moment of these presidents to come together when the country so desperately needs it. >> absolutely. and i'd like to think that these five presidents will, um you know, memorialize jimmy carter's life and and remember his dedication to human rights and to peace. but speaking of him as a naval man, and he's now right at the naval memorial there uh, it reminds me of an extraordinar

go to go back to george w bush. right. like and this was george dad. oh yeah.the first one of anyway. yeah. and so to think about like i don't have an easy solution, however things are bad things are really bad. but to say that here are some options that people are trying. and the quote, my dear, recently departed friend jane mccaleb, who would always every conversation with people are ready to fight. and that's just about the best news i've ever heard that is she got her hope. that is where i get hope. and i think that's a sort of different kind of solution story. but i don't know who your editors are and how much they're going to like that because i often have a hard time pitching stories like that to big name publications because they think i am the they this still that the solutions are going to come elon musk which is bonkers because elon musk didn't even invent the tesla. he just bought the company from someone else. and if you read a bunch of trade journals like i do because i'm a lunatic, they all think he's crazy because he passed on making an tesla el

there's former president george w. bush. >> who did not shake trump's hand. bush. >> but this is the way it's supposed to be. this is the way america operates. one president is elected and then another and they go on and move forward. >> remember melania trump went to the rosalynn carter's funeral. she represented the trumps there. while jimmy carter politically didn't care for donald trump, they did have a little bit of a personal relationship of talking about issues of the world from time to time. and once president trump visited with carter in new york. >> look how appropriately former president george w. bush stands to welcome the former first lady hillary clinton and president clinton. >> we have not seen president bush interact with president trump or president clinton. >> we have not. and we can see other members of the presidential family. i see chelsea clinton sitting next to some of the biden family back there. some of those faces you may not recognize are secret service agents that are sitting very close, because this is a national security event.

i mean, george bush invited her to speak at the dedication of his library. she always has time to talk to children on the floor. but, nancy, with a razor thin majority, got every thing done. it's been an honor to serve with her. i've watched her travel the globe, tireless flea wearing out people half her age. and she did it well without having the edge. i mean no question. she's a tough partizan warrior and was equal to the challenge, but not a mean spirited. and i think history is going to regard her very positively. how about particularly her role in encouraging president biden not to his quest? you also, by were calling for him to step down as speaker. is a very subtle and kind person. and she has a way of convincing people to understand what their choices are and to the right thing. she's artful and i think what she helped orchestrate was a an exit for president biden that he should have understood earlier. but she i look what she did in the house of representatives nancy stepped aside at the peak of her power and decided that she was going to empower th

george w bush. the congress that already passed with is colloquially known as the hey, invasion of 2005. right, in which the us said that it would actually invade the hague if the americans were prosecuted by the i c. c. so this sort of you know, a policy the us is long in the make. we'll all right area. germany said they wouldn't arrest nathan. yeah, who, because of its own, that's the past and now poland said that you will and saw nothing. you all can vivid an arch wides. uh, also with the come on the ration both countries a full fledged members of the i c. c. how does this even work? well, it works because the west of decides when they want to follow the law when they don't want to. but you're right. i mean the hypocrisy is incredible. the fact that nazi germany was responsible for the hollow cost means that they shouldn't be supporting israel's, all the cost of that it's committing in the portal. and of course uh, should also given the what the collaboration of the leave of, of, of the liberatio
