george w. bush, george h. w. bush was not a bad president, this country wasn't into double shape, we won the cold war into the good decade of economic growth and they were pretty responsible as they put us in legislation and a bunch of areas. people want change and i ran for going out with the chie chief of staff and giving speeches and recounting what we have done. the ones that didn't like clinton were willing to take a risk on ross perot got 19 million votes and prospero was kind of crazy, no offense to any of the voters here, but they were sending a signal. that's why in the general election, having jeb bush as a main opponent of using the public wants to change we are unhappy with the way things have gone to the two-party establishment to say that two candidates for you, the son and brother of the two most recent republican candidates, jeb bush who is a good guy and hillary clinton the most recent democratic president that works as the secretary of state for the most recent. so you want to change and we are g

george w. bush earlier george w. bush when we worked in that white house, well, i would say go ahead and do it. but not now. not when putin is on the wrong side. >> dana: dan, the new italian prime minister, he apparently agrees with the president that russia should be returned. and is it possible with the suggestion by macron that maybe we could make this a g-6 -- is it possible that some these international institutions that the world has looked to to resolve some of these issues or to have alliances, have they maybe, you know, passed their prime? is it time to maybe consider a different way of working with these countries? >> well, those are two questions. one is should we remodel the institutions of the free world to better handle the challenges of the 21st century? sure. let's look at that but, let's not start by fighting with our friends and kissing up to our adversaries. do you remember -- do you remember the obama reset with putin? people criticized that inviting putin back to the g-7 now goes much farther. an

george h.w. bush, george w. bush, barack obama. at any of them tweeting about the economic report before it came out. i dare you. >> nobody did. that's why all the information that comes to the economic advisers an hour before must be held under lock and key and not shared before 8:30. kudlow's defense is that the president didn't actually say what was in the jobs numbers, he only said he was looking forward to them. that would be the same statement if he tweeted them every month. he does not, he merely tweeted them ahead of the jobs report. >> here's his problem. here's his problem. we got the briefing yesterday. every president gets it the day before. a select number of people know about it. people at the lab know about it, you have to sit there for 30 minutes and can't go to the bathroom. you can study it, because what you write will move markets. did the president talk about this with any of his rich friends? did he give outside information to any people? that question may not be fair to the president, but i can understand why

george w. bush, when george w. he way he spent money, the way he ran up deficits, the debt, the $7 trillion medicare expansion he didn't pay for, reckless wars. but, at the end, i would always say, but, he gave conservatives two justices and he gave america a big tax cut. i was saying that about george w. bush, a lot of people that voted for donald trump now are probably saying the same thing about him. >> yeah, to jon's point, if you are a republican that voted for justices, you are very happy with how this term went for conservative causes, conservative intellectual philosophies. it was a good term. the extent to which they have the opportunity to put another conservative justice in the court solidifies that. democrats know that. the left is very outraged over this. they are in a crisis. they say we need to do everything we can. e.j. young has something in the "washington post," do everything you can. missing from that is what they are supposed to do. he ominously says civility might be an obstacle to that. to the

politically, on scott's point, ari fleischer, republican, former press secretary for george -- president george w. bush writes on twitter responding to the president's claim this morning, and congress has an absolute right to impeach. this is a foolish side issue, can we all just wait for the mueller report and what it has found or what it has not found? that's significant coming from ari fleischer. >> it is. considering he's a republican, former white house aide. it is a reflection that trump does not have support even within the republican establishment, for his argument that he can pardon himself and he's above the law. but they're unwilling to do anything about it. that's the tragedy. president is making an argument today that even richard nixon didn't make during the height of watergate. he didn't think he could pardon himself. this is the reflection also the president who said he could punish newspaper owners who disa with him, he could punish the media outlets who don't like him, che could also punish football players that don't stand up for the national anthem, he can punish comedians. he takes

george w. bush. and barack obama did the same thing as donald trump is doing. he criticized george w. s he inherited. george w. bush never returned fire. so having benefited from that kind of grace from his predecessor, it would be hypocritical of him to go out and take extraordinary measures in of the president. and he is almost tempting him, saying, come at me. >> martha: you made a very interesting point because immigration has incited a lot of passion across the country. do we have that jay johnson sound bite from the weekend? you know, because this demonstrates the point that mark just made, the policy has been very similar since that administration. let's watch that. it'll be ready in just a second. >> the images and the reality from 2014, just like 2018, are not pretty. so we expanded family detention. we had then 34,000 beds for family detention. only 95 of 34,000 are equipped to deal with families. so we expanded it, i freely admit it was controversial. we believed it was necessary at the time it to maintain a certain capability for families. >> martha: so why is it being trea

george w. bush and these clowns that are attacking george w. the same ones that were saying you can't be a christian if you don't support george w. bush, if you vote for john kerry. i mean, this -- not everything is new under the sun here. >> what donald trump has done that has bn so savvy is he has created a framework where you don't have to like him personally to nonetheless be on his tame. it's the enemy of my enemy is my friend operationalized so you can say i don't like the tweeting. i don't -- you can say when he does these rallies he's over the top but he's picking fights with people i don't like. he's picking fights we leets and the media and people who are hostile to my way of life, picking fights with people who do look like me and because he's picking those fights, even if i don't love everything about him, at least he is fighting the people i think deserve to be fought and that's why despite breaking all sorts of rules, you don't have to like him, you nonetheless as a republican, that's why 90% of people who still identify themselves

george w. bush, george h.w. s talk about -- would always push back and let republicans know that reaching out to voters in groups that they weren't comfortable with, like hispanic voters, was extraordinarily important. george w. bush wasn't calling hispanics breeders, he was campaigning hard, he got 43%, 44% of the vote of hispanic voters in 2004. donald trump is playing to the lowest common denominator and i think that's one part of the story. and so, yes, we have seen the ugliest side of republicanism metastasize and it now has become all about donald trump and his collection of prejudices and resentments. there's another part of it, though, and sadly i don't think that this is just in the republican party, i think it's in the democratic party as well. tribalism, just pure unadulterated tribalism where people in a party line up before their leader no matter what. i can get you quotes from top democratic leaders when the monica lewinsky scandal broke out saying that if this is true then bill clinton needs to res

george w. bush. i went to the border with george w. bush multiple times. ck against his own party. >> right. >> then press secretary tony snow who had come from fox news, the late great tony snow would go on fox and defend george w. bush's belief in comprehensive immigration reform. so, the difference is those elements, i agree with you, we're always in the republican party a hsien loong tilong, lon democratic party, too. you saw the people at the top pushing back -- >> reagan signed the greatest immigration amnesty in history, your boss, the first time ever i met him in texas at a governor's race going to a hispanic soccer game in a district -- he wasn't getting any votes. speaking spanish to 9-year-old hispanic kids playing soccer. >> right. >> there were a lot of problems with your boss, with your former boss. >> of course. >> on this issue he was governor of texas. his attitude was i'm going to lose all these votes for dan richards. i'm going to campaign for him. when i win i want to be governor of the hispanic part of the state, too. it was a different

the president, george was you —— george w bush and president 0bama have also issued security guaranteesnorth korea has always demanded consistently, and previous us presidents have provided. nothing new there. it was this preference —— press c0 nfe re nce new there. it was this preference —— press conference that came afterwards that really set the stage and cross the line, and provides a com pletely and cross the line, and provides a completely new strategic environment for frankly completely new strategic environment forfrankly all of completely new strategic environment for frankly all of asia. that really has a new debate. explain to our viewers why is having such a huge regional impact, that single decision? for the president of the united states to calljoint exercises, joint military exercises that are regular annual exercises conducted between allies, that essentially provide for readiness, which provides the alliance, the entire reason why you actually have a military alliance to begin with, a treaty alliance. to actually call that war games, and then to call it a provocation, w

george w. bush and barack obama. if the tragedy of the george w. ush administration was an overreaction to a set of events and that could be under reaction with the cataclysm of syria. administrations spent the last couple years of the second term try not to get on the slippery slope. you really do believe american intervention any level would have made things worse for the syrian people? but this question is so boiled down to this one episode. add in 2011 and 2012 with that onset of the crisis with foreign powers involved. did we miss a window where some time of more diplomatic initiative so to be more aggressively engaged to forestall this into the civil war. one thing i have to wrestle with i was so directly involved with when we called for a side -- assad to go was it assumed he would fall? he was supposed to go and we believe he should have been the leader of syria but we may have foreclosed that option by calling for him to go at that point in at least trying to pursue some diplomacy. >> there is a moment in there where he said it would be foo

george h.w. bush or bill clinton or george w. bush or barack obama were protectionists and so everybody kind of understood the constraints or limitations on tariffs of that kind. well, now, when you get tariffs imposed by a president who has definitely taken a protectionist stance, people say, well, is this the beginning of it, the end of it, how extensive is this really going to get and so the uncertainty around tariffs which people kind of thought they knew the rules of the game about how tariffs were used by the united states because after all the united states was the defender to have liberal international economic order, it suddenly becomes source of greater uncertainty and you are seeing it in markets, i think you're seeing in response to various countries and so, yeah, the twitter account is, you know, ill rather the president didn't have a twitter account, i would rather congress didn't have twitter accounts. i'm a dinosaur in that way but i think it's the structural change in many ways more an important source, more impor

george w. bush, but for a storian, that was a strange thing to pick. you could also say being a governor was bad because george. bush was a governor. andrew johnson was governor of tennessee. jimmy carter was governor of georgia. >> by the same token, george washington was a very successful farmer. you know, which was a big business back in those days. so there's a -- >> good for you. he was a farmer, and f that point, harry truman, you know, he was a enhaberdasher. there were some who were very successful that were never senators or governors, never had an elected position like that exactly. abraham lincoln wasn't a governor, was never ase tor. there are some very impressive models that way. but business leaders have done well. michaebloomberg, of course, is mayor, which is the next toughest job after president is being mayor of new york city. d he certain very well and there are many business leaders who went into public service who were sucssful business leaders but even more renowned for their legacies in public service, like avrilan harr who ran the union pacific railroad and chester boelz, a great advert

george h.w. bush. the nation's 41st president is the fit president to turn 94. former president george w. ush posted a photo of himself and his dad taken today, writing, i'm a lucky man to be named for george bush and to be with 41 on his 94th birthday. >>> when we come back, we're going to have the story behind the show of sportsmanship on the baseball field that is inspiring america. sportsmanship on the breathe freely fast with vicks sinex. my congestion's gone. i can breathe again! i can breathe again! vicks sinex... breathe on. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. with my bladder leakage, the products i've tried just didn't fit right. they were very saggy. it's getting in the way of our camping trips. but with new sizes, depend fit-flex is made for me. introducing more sizes for better comfort. new depend fit-flex underwear is guaranteed to be your best fit. and the wolf huffed and puffed... like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, w

george w. bush, everything that george w. bush isot. everything that the mainstream media is not. everything that academia is not. everything that political correct crowd and the -- the race identity crowd is not. he has become the anti-candidate. and that works really well for you when you're the only one filling up that space. but when there's somebody else that can come into the republican primary and you know we've talked about mark cuban or you can talk about other billionaires, that are -- thinking about running. or hey, i've got a great idea -- how about a middle class woman or a middle class guy? how about somebody like nikki haley? and suddenly, don't tell me if nikki haley and donald trump are going head to head in new hampshire and knocking on doors -- only nikki haley would knock on doors -- that nikki haley wouldnpen up every one of donald trump's lies and convince of people of new hampshire that hey, guess what, we can do this, you can have the policies without the racism. can you have the conservatism, without the lies. you can have the tax cuts without the constitut

a party that once did for great people like ronald reagan, , andhower, george w. bush george h.w. bush. this is the theater of the absurd. these documents should not be turned over. it would reveal sources and it would imperil the investigation. bless the united states. i yield back the balance of my time and reiterate my oath to defend the constitution. i yield two minutes to my good friend, the gentleman from texas. >> recognized for two minutes. >> the very thing my colleagues were arguing, and good men argued in the watergate days and it would have cap nixon in office. some people do not care about party as much as we do justice and the truth. is thathave found leading intelligence people and justice people were lying. we get more information that has been objected to, redacted, and said thist these guys was for national security? it turns out when we get the information, it was because it was embarrassing to the people objecting. oversight is absolutely critical. the last administration did not have enough oversight. they obstructed, they were able to drag things out so that

george w. bush or george h.w. bush. eric: a lot of people will howl over that comment saying he's demeaning the office. >> there is litigation about the president's tweets with respect to the travel bans where he has run into trouble in the courts about what he said publicly. it's indisputable that the way he speaks to the public differently and the way he pardoned people last week. they may be permissible, but for his lawyers to say gosh this is a solemn office and we have to protect his time because he's doing important things with his time, that doesn't become credible. ultimately i think at some point mueller will have to decide whether he pulls the trigger on a federal grand jury subpoena. he would much rather sit down with the president. he knows that will invoke most of likely a court battle. if he does it the president would have to respond or choose not to respond. that would be litigated all the way up to the supreme court. eric: what do you think about rudy giuliani saying the president wants to testify? >> i

george w. bush's after the 9/11 attacks. he mentions that george w. bush days after the 9/11 attack goes to the islamic center -- islamic mosque, essentially, nearby, and implores muslims to have faith, that essentially their faith is the same as ours and tries to unify the country. and justice roberts writes, yet it cannot be denied that the federal government and the presidents who have carried its laws into effect have from the nation's earliest days performed unevenly in living up to those inspiring words, he's essentially drawing a contrast between the words of donald trump the candidate and some of the twitter rants that the president has had over the last year and a half or so, with those of the president of the united states who took us through and saw us through those really dark days after 9/11. and really makes a contrast of that uage, which i think is very interesting coming from justice roberts. >> i mean, i would just say to that, it sounds to me that the court is basically critiquing the president's attacks on muslims and issuing this de

presidential historian, former advisor to george hw bush and george w. od to see you, thanks for joining us. let's start with historical ramifications of this senate. you say kim's win by getting trump in the room. what spells victory for the president? >> i woke up this morning and heard the news, all night long in the green room at fox listening to cia anasts telling me why trump would not be successful at all only to hear what happened. this is big news and positive news for trump and he is on his way. maria: you point to a few key moments in history to give perspective what the pres. is battling, the munich agreement, camp david accords, high on your list, tell us about it. >> always ghosts at the summit who are not represented in 1938. hitler and mussolini met with chamberlain, they solved the crazies then but people who weren't in the table were the checks and slovaks who were going to lose the sudeten land, ghosts at the table but i'll get short shrift in 1945. here is churchill, fdr and stalin, carving up eastern europe and millions of people dest

george w. bush had greater support within his own party at the 500-day mark. george w. bush was in the days and months after 9/11. 80% of republicans approve of president trump. that's why other republicans are afraid to cross him. republican voters like this president and support this president. as to the cult issue, that's more complicated. think more of a shotgun wedding or a family feud. these are all republicans. this is nbc "wall street journal" data, republicans who say they are republicans because they support president trump and republicans who say they are republicans because they are traditional. should we continue the daca program? only 15% of the president's supporters in the party say they should. end daca. half of the supporters in the party because of president trump say end daca. only 26% of traditional republicans say that. that's why you have a divide over immigration. climate change. only 5% of trump supporters say there should be immediate action. this is a big problem. 11% of traditional republicans view that. the concern is unwarranted. almost half

george w. bush the relationship unraveled toward the end. >> host: do you think the george w. bush was serious and naming a replacement in 2042 dick cheney? >> guest: i think they fiercely considered it even more seriously than president obama did because there was thought of replacing biden with hillary and someone who worked for obama said the only person who what event was happy with hillary clinton. she did not want to be vice president. a lot of people don't want to be vice president. it's a difficult job. i think that it is an incredible opportunity and especially for someone like mike pence who, very well, could have lost his race for governor of indiana. now he is in a position where he could one day be president and his name is known nationally and very few people knew who he was outside of indiana and it is a steppingstone. of course, it's also tantalizing, too. i interviewed mike donovan who works for joe biden it's over for him andst he said it makes e vice presidency makes me wonder if you matter very much. i thought that was a great quote because here is joe biden

george w. bush, their relationship really unraveled toward the end. steve: do you think that george w. bush was serious in 2004 in naming a replacement in to dick 2004 cheney? kate: i think they considered it more seriously than president obama did, because there was thought of replacing biden with hillary. and someone who worked for obama told me, the only person who would've been less happy about that would be hillary clinton. she did not want to be vice president. a lot of people don't want to be vice president. it is a difficult job. that i think that it , is an incredible opportunity, and especially for someone like mike pence, who very well could have lost his race for governor of indiana. now he is in a position where he could one day be president, with -- and his name is known nationally. very few people knew who he was outside of indiana just a couple years ago, so it is a stepping stone. but of course it is also infantilizing. i interviewed mike donelan who works for joe biden and still does. he says the vice president makes you wonder if you matter very much. i thought that w

george w. bush did a lot of things democrats don't like, but nobody thought that george w. bush was a liar. people around him were. but this is a president who does not command the respect of the large majority of american people. you can't behave like this. you can't cater to the very worst instincts in human beings and that's what this president is doing. >> i can't even count the number of people who have been on this network who said that the president is a liar, yet, susan, he seems to be immune to any sort of penalty for it. his base believes him. >> they believe him up to a point or they really don't care about what he is lying. let's not forget when president trump was elected, on electio night eve, we knew the next president, whether it be hillary clinton or donald trump, was not trusted nor liked by the majority of the american public. so we walked into this knowing that president trump most people did not trust him. they continue not to trust him. on the campaign trail when he would speak to his supporters and said you really think you'll get mexico to pay for the wall? like nah,

george w. bush in the lead-up to the iraq war. there was a civil war inside the c.i.a. about george w. bush. there were constant leaks against george w. bush. starting in the fall of 2002. these things happen, jon. and you've got rudy giuliani with his bulging eyeballs, acting like a snowflake, like this is the first time that this has happened in any bureaucracy. it's happened in the state department since thomas jefferson walked in there. >> yeah. actually you know he started, jefferson started a newspaper to fight hamilton while he was in the state department. i think three things happened this week that are hugely important. that we will actually look back on as we dot history of this era. one is we have yet another affirmation of why donald trump is president. and jim comey for all of his service to the country, bears a good bit of responsibility for that fact of our national existence right now. and that's a hugely important thing we should stop. judge walsh, back in 19 92, came made an announcement that he was reindicting casper weinberger in the last minutes of the bush/clinton/perot

george w. bush and barack obama and it goes a little like this. it is a tragedy of the george w. sh administration to overreaction of a set of events in the middle east the tragedy of the obama administration could be provisional of under reaction to a set of events and in particular the cataclysm of syria. you spent the last couple of years of obama's second term trying not to get on the slippery slope. but you really do believe american intervention at any level what have made things worse than they are today? >> this question has been so boiled down basically one episode and what i thought back on is in 2011 and 2012 the onset of the crisis before it became a fractious civil war with those dimensions did we miss a window where with those aggressive diplomatic initiatives could have foresaw that human told that we have seen. could we be more aggressively engage to foresaw -- forestall the onset of war? what i had to wrestle with being so directly involved, when we called for assad to go was it inevitable he would fall? we all wanted him to go. he was a tyrant and none of us in t

george w bush talking about the size of his apartment? isn't it something usually american presidents... and george didn't like to brag about it? his money, his education, he would never have done that. we do know however, when we talk about elite, you do not have an aboveground pool. we know you have one of those elite pools. we might have to see a picture of christian in his pool. the peanuts they pay me, you know it isn't true. you are in the pool, floating around. the pool as in a yacht. how are you doing, christian? pretty good. i want to say quickly, if you look back before he became president, he was in manhattan. is it about one—upmanship? president, he was in manhattan. is it about one-upmanship? yes, that is what it has been about with him. the way he is acting he wants the biggest, best toy, want the biggest crowd. it is about attention rather than governing, christian. thank you. i will invite you to the yacht in the summer. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news: the robotic revolution — from fruit picking to presenting, w

george w. bush presidency, casted the vote with conservatives on disputed electoral results that cleared the way for george w. bush to become president. and heading to 2015 regarding same-sex marriage, he penned the landmark opinion that cleared the way for same-sex marriage nationwide and in 2015, he wrote the decision to strike down the death penalty for juvenile offenders. so those are just four examples of major cases he worked on. the nomination or his replacement could transform the supreme court decisions for decades going forward because president trump will have his second opportunity to nominate a justice. this comes after he did nominate neil gorsuch, trump's first nominee and this nomination and there's lots of talk about this over the next little while whether it's going to swing towards the conservatives, 5-4, but right now comes at an ideal time because republicans hold the senate. we know president trump spoke to reporters had, a press conference when he was with the portugal president, and he said he found out about the retirement 30 minutes before we did and that justice kennedy walked in

george w. bush, the five republicans on the court, said should be president and they voted 5-0 to make george wthe president of the united states. on citizens xwrints they said money should talk more than a voter. they made that partisan decision. they keep making partisan decisions and say we've above partisanship. >> it's not about partisanship. it's about corporations. the other side right now is hurrying to end the tax bill to give corporation what's they want. they have people in the cabinet who are not following regulations and now they want a court that is also going to side with them and basically say whether it's clean air that basically was so hard fought. >> you mean the working people of pennsylvania, wisconsin, indiana and michigan, the working stiff man and woman thought they were getting a populist president and they got a corporate shill. >> right now if they're going to overturn this, no, the little guy is not going to be represented on the bench. >> senator maria cantwell of washington state. alexis johnson. this is a huge night. up next, justice kennedy's retirement is shakin

george w. bush 's presidency he casted the vote on disputed electoral results that cleared the way for the presidency of george w. bush and in 2015 a huge huge outcome regarding same sex marriage. he penned the landmark opinion that cleared way for same sex marriage nationwide and then also in 2015 regarding capital punishment with juveniles he wrote the decision to strike down death penalty for juvenile offenders so those are just four examples, four examples where he played a major role. the decision today for him to retire and to find his replacement is a huge or could transfer the supreme court for decades to come because this is president trump's second nomination. the nomination we know will happen this fall. there's word that it's going to happen in september, before mid-terms. there's a list of 25 people under consideration and liz like you've mentioned, we've got a big news coverage day. i was at the supreme court earlier this morning covering another big case involving union fees. this is the mark janice case he's the plaintiff. he came forward saying i'm a childcare worker, i don't want $45 deducted

george w. bush. trump's approval ratings among republicans at the 500 day mark are incredibly high. 87%. second highest of any republican since world war ii. george w. bush. the only one who did better and that was right after 11. which obviously was a turning point for the entire nation. trump comes out slams sanford. okay. as david points out. three hours before. but he's made his feelings clear. can he sink sanford? i think he possibly can. i don't say it's a done deal. i think sanford has a strong chance. he's very popular. but i think win or lose, we know this is donald trump's party. this is what we heard from bob corker today challenging his senate colleagues to stand up against tariffs and stand up for something that many of them personally believe is important and challenge the president. they won't do it. so i think we are seeing even if sanford survives, he survey vooifs bse he's popular. >> six race or something like that. and plenty of controversy. >> was r forgiven and won a congressional seat. >> david brings up martha robe. alabama congresswoman was forced into a runoff that's going to be next month. she was critical of the trump

it seems we are hearing both things depending on who you talk to and whether you are reading secret e-mails or listening to someone speak. what is your take, tal? >> michelle, i obtained e-mail traffic from customs and border protection last night that shows they have sent guidance to the field instructing them to stop referring families, parents for families, for prosecution to face criminal charges which effectively means they should not be ultimately separated. that is why families are separated. the justice department will continue to prosecute the cases. the justice department made this announcement earlier than we are counting the start of the policy. the reason for that is the prosecution by the justice department doesn't matter if they are not referring the cases. effectively, if the department of homeland security is not sending individuals to face criminal charges, then the zero tolerance policy is now partial tolerance policy. adults with no children may still be prosecuted and there are cases where individuals may be prosecuted, but what created this crisis and let's be clear, the trump administration created this crisis. the decision to go after parents of children with these criminal charges which had not been done in prior administrations. thus separate families en masse. for now, this could change anytime, for now, this is on hold. >> do you think the not prosecuting or guidance not to prosecute is just temporary until they get clearance to hold families together longer with children? >> it is quite possible. we don't know at this point. it is not clear from the sources i spoken with or e-mails. it is not clear how long this will last. it could be reversed any minute. they could send another guidance to the field this morning stating go back to prosecuting. it can be that much of the on/off switch. we showed e-mail traffic hours after the executive order was signed which required families stay together, an immigration and customs official which houses immigrants in longer-term detention than border patrol which is a clearing house. an i.c.e. official sent out an e e-ma e-mail, don't send anyone here. this center is closed. that was reversed within a few hours. it was reversed the next day. they said we are open. refer families here. it speaks to the fact that this very much appears to be made up on the fly without procedures in place to handle the issue. >> just clearing up where we are today is just about impossible. let alone where we are going. let's try to attempt to solve that riddle. legislatively, the conservative goodlatte bill failed in the house. it got more votes than expected. that goes to a compromise bill. more moderate, but not entirely. it is supposed to be voted on today, but now it is next week. apologies for the long question. what is in the bill? what are the chances? what will send it democrat support? republicans are painting them as obstructionist open border democrats. >> dave, there is a lot in that question. maybe i should have taken notes. to summarize what is billed is the compromise -- keep in mind it is a compromise of republicans. it creates a pathway of citizenship for daca recipients and people like them and for legal immigrant children who may be aging out of the visas and it is a merit-based system. you have $25 billion for the wall. you get rid of a couple family visa categories. adult siblings. you make room there. there are measures in there that seem small, but are substantial for democrats. including provisions penalizing sanctuary cities. reversing the court decisions that they say protect children. when you talk about the chances in the senate, the chances are not good with this bill. the chances of passing the house are not good. they are talking about adding more to the bill which may not get them enough votes. when the republican party or the president calls them obstructionists, it is true. democrats voted universally against these proposals. let's be clear. the democrats were never invited to the negotiating room for this bill. they were told we're going to try to pass something republican only. to turn around and accuse them of not being open to compromise, remember, chuck schumer went to the president and said i'll give you $25 billion for your wall if you give me daca. that was rejected. a number of other proposals out there. there have not been honest negotiations happening among republican leadership and democrats. >> people like to say for trump it is all about the wall. for democrats, it is all about daca. in this compromise bill, do you think what is allowed for pathway to citizenship for the daca people -- is that enough for democrats? do you think they will see that as a victory even though there are all of these other things that will not sit well with them? >> they are already criticizing the visa pathway. they don't like the points system. they say they have to compete against legal immigrants for a limited number of visas. you know, when you talk about what democrats can accept, one of the things i get the sense republicans miscalculated is where the democratic base is on this issue. when you talk to the daca recipients and talk to the young advocates who swarmed washington over months and mainly talked to the democrats, they are very clear. they say that it is not daca for anything. they will not accept any sort of fix for them that they say subjects their family and friends to harsher punitive measures potentially making them all at risk for deportation. the democratic party is empowered by its base to say we don't accept a fix for daca recipients on the back of the measures. it is not a fair trade. it is extremely unlikely that they will see daca and swallow the rest. that is not where they are here. >> nobody should hold their breath for immigration reform in the midterm election. tal, no messages and no jackets. sleeveless. we appreciate the information. >>> ahead, european tariffs on products from the united states could take effect today. what key american products could take a hit overseas. >>> and englewood neighborhood on the chicago south side is the most dangerous in the country. a group of mothers is standing up with tough love only moms can provide. >> englewood is one of the worst neighborhoods in the city of chicago and in the entire united states of america. there have been children murdered while sleeping in beds because bullets penetrated the walls while sleeping. englewood is generally a place where no one feels safe. what brought me to the corner here was young lady was murdered. her name was lucille. she was trying to break up a fight. she was killed in a drive by. i did not know her. i was outraged. at this point, if mothers are murdered, something has to be done. some people thought it was too dangerous to go and sit on a corner and in a place where someone had just been murdered three days before. we went out and put on pink shirts and got hot dogs and fed people. we talked to people. we gave out a lot of hugs. we got together and these moms who had the time and passion for it. i felt that being there and being a presence and eyes on the street and eyes on the children that it would interrupt and prevent a lot of stuff that could potentially happen. while are you doing that, you are playing a game with the kids you may never get to play with. we want them to grow up together. so when they are older, they are not enemies and targets or shooting or killing each other. since we posted up on the corner of 75th and stewart, there have been no shootings on that block. no shootings, no murders. there hasn't been a fist fight. there is a sense of hope they did not have before all because we're mothers and you don't want to underestimate the power of the mother.

george h. w. bush from 1989 to 1992, working on more than 100 of his presidential addresses. she is also the executive producer of "41 on 41," a documentary about former president george h.w. bush, which is currently on netflix. david litt is the executive director of the funny or die office in washington, d.c. he served in the obama white house as senior presidential speechwriter. our moderator is henry bienen, the president of the poetry foundation and a board member of the scout council on global affairs. he is the former president of northwestern university and was formerly the james s. mcdonnell distinguished university professor and dean at the woodrow wilson school of public and international affairs. cap princeton university. ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the panel. [applause] henry: thank you very much. in my capacity as president of the poetry foundation, we are extremely glad to partner with the chicago council on global affairs, something we have been wanting to do. now we have done it. i think this is a great idea to have distinguished speechwriters as well as a great poet with us. i want to point out a few things and will not say anything about the panelists, because they have already been introduced. presidents have written poetry. i have my doubts whether the incumbent does that, but you never know. however, abraham lincoln, am told, wrote melancholy poetry. i can't say i have read in a. orge wasngton ote love poems at an early age, and many presidents have in fact written poetry, including grant and some you might not think about. i will not list them all. of course presidents have had poets at their inauguration. famously maya angelou, robert frost, recently elizabeth alexander. just begin president of the mellon foundation. robert, i do not think you ever read at an inauguration. again, whether i do not remember, i try to forget a lot about the incumbent. he did not have a poet at his inauguration, even though, as we know, it was the biggest crowd ever. [laughter] henry: but no poets, as far as we know. i am told that when jfk was a senator, he said in 1956 if more politicians knew poetry and more poets knew politics, the world would be a better place to live , and that may well be true. what we do know is that many presidents have consciously used meter, rhyme, alliteration, and cadence to get people's attention. let me now tell you how we're going to proceed. each of our panelists will speak for less than 10 minutes and then i will help, i doubt they will need much help and having a conversation with each other, they seem a spirited crew. after they do that for a while, we will have q&a from the audience, and then there will be book signing for those who will hopefully get some interesting books. i will ask robert pinsky, who is a poet who does know politics quite well, as having in his poetry -- he writes a lot about civic matters and citizenship and then i will ask mary kate cary to speak, and then i will turn to david litt. mary kate was speechwriter for president bush i and david was senior speechwriter for president barack obama. i have to put a plug in for northwestern and speechwriting. david overlapped with cody keenan, who graduated from northwestern in political science and then went on to the kennedy school and was president obama's director of speechwriting for quite a number of years. without further ado, robert, if you will come to the podium? please? [applause] robert: i do want to respond to henry and say abraham lincoln's poem "my childhood home i see" is melancholy and strange, and it is a wonderful piece of writing. i recommend abraham lincoln's poem "my childhood home i see" ." also, i never read at an inauguration but in january on the steps of the new york public library, former laureate rita dove and i were asked to read counter inaugural poems, which we did. [laughter] robert: i supplied quotations from poetry to a president and a vice president, and i am going to talk to you about poetry as plain speaking. i will tell a story on myself. i spoke to -- i cannot remember the name -- i got the phone number of someone i'd worked with with the gore campaign of someone who was running these things for john kerry, and said i would like to help speech right. adhesive rubber, we will save -- and he said, robert, we will save you for what we want something really lofty. we want passion and intensity and color and i realized, oh shit. this is not going to work. what i think poetry has to offer is artful plainness. making something feel direct. it does take art to do that. i'm going to read you a 16th century poem written in the plain style, and i will just change one word. the poem is about courtship. instead of maidens or lovers, i will use the word voter. fine ax for voters. cheap to move. good pennyworth's, but money cannot move. i keep a fair but for the fair to view. a begger view of love. for all my wares be trash. the heart is true. that is the first of three stanzas. the second is great gifts are guiles and look for gifts again. my trifles come as treasures from the mind. it is a precious jewel to be plain. i will repeat that line again -- it is a precious jewel to be plain. sometimes in shell, the orient pearls we find, of others take a sheaf of grain, of others take a sheaf of grain. within this pack, pins, points, laces, and gloves city in the country's fair, but in my heart where duty serves and love turtles and twins, courts brewed a heavenly pair. happy the heart that thinks of no removes. that is a very fancy and elaborate defense of plainness. the poet is writing as though he were a street merchant. some have heard that counter uses thisred deller in a song. the street beggar, merchant is saying these trifles i have come from my mind. it is a precious jewel to be plain. of others take a sheaf, of me a grain. it is an inverted boastfulness , and it does take a lot of thought and a lot of art. my fellow panelists have mastered the art. the art of communicating depends very often on plainness. "i have a dream" is one syllable words. "i heard a fly buzz when i died" is one syllable words. they both are manifold and complicated and they are very plain. i will read another poem to you before i sit down. this is a poem that i did supply to al gore when he was vice president for an occasion. some of you will remember in 1998, the two guards who were shot and killed at the capitol building. i think it is important to say their names. jacob chestnut and john gibson. they were defending our capital against somebody with a gun. they were killed in the course of that. i believe there was a tourist murdered as well. my assignment, or the suggestion made, the guy who mostly talked to me for gore went on to be a writer for the "west wing." this is an extremely famous 18th-century poem by william collins written in just 10 lines. written in the beginning of the year 1746, which was the last attempt by the stewarts to take the island over again. the failed attempt. people died in that as well. this uses one syllable words. i will just read the poem to you , and then yield to the experts. oh britain in the beginning of the year 1746 by william collins. how sleep the brave who seek to rest -- when spring with dewey fingers returns to decked their hallowed halls, she there will dress a sweeter thought than fancy feet have ever trod. the spirit of it is a fancy jewel to be plain. not as sacrosanct asre sleep the brave. by fair hands their knell is -- again, one-syllable words -- by forms on seen their dirge is sung, and freedom for a while shelled well to repair a weeping hermit there. thanks. [applause] mary: first of all, thanks for having me today. i agree with you, robert. president bush 41, my former boss, agreed in plainspoken ways, single-syllable words. the ones i was thinking of as you were speaking were "this will not stand," that is what i think people remember him saying. he also did not believe that as president of the united states there should be a lot of i in presidential speeches. if there were too many "i's," he would circle it and change everything to we. in a democracy, that is a good thing. as henry mentioned, or i guess it was iain mentioned, a few years ago i made a documentary about president bush and it is on netflix, it is called "41 on 41." it is only 90 minutes long. it is not 13 seasons of game of "game of thrones." it is the opposite of "house of cards," and it is nonpartisan and it is the story of a remarkable life. as we were researching how to do this, what we did was sent a researcher to the bush library, and she found a bible that president bush's mother gave to him when he was confirmed at age 14. she inscribed a poem inside the bible. she did not write it herself. but she knew of it. poem, and it this later became a protestant hymn. i would be true, for there are those who trust me. i would be pure, for there are those who care. i would be strong, for there is much to suffer. i would be brave, for there is much to bear. i would be friend to all. i would be giving and forget the gift. i would be humble, for i know my weakness, and i would look up and laugh and love and lift. if you go down that first set of words on each of those phrases, true, pure, strong, brave, a friend to all, giving, humble, looking up laughing and listing, it is almost as if as a 14-year-old boy, he decided he was going to live his life by those words. what we did was set the poem to 41 of his best friends, and we said we are going to ask you to read the poem on camera, so we would have everybody's voices, and then you tell us which line of that poem you tnk applied to georgeush and give us a story to back it up. that became the narrative arc of the film. lucky for us, because he has lived his life by all of those words, if everybody had picked one phrase, we would not have had a film. luckily, all eight lines of it, there were four and five stories of each example. that became the narrative arc of the film. and i think you would really enjoy it, and it is a fun film to watch. it is a lot of teachable moments about values like that for young people. perfectly appropriate for family viewing. that was, to me, not your typical way to build a documentary around a poem, but it worked beautifully. president bush was the founder, with his cousin, of a poetry society that only had two members, the two of them. [laughter] mary: and they wrote about it back and forth for close to 50 years. many people try to join the poetry society and they said no. there were limiting the membership to two. in 2003 -- before i came here tonight, what i did, by the way, is i sort of

george w. bush, crucial to what we're going to be talking about tonight. and these days, hochris hayes, host of "all in." sumi, director of the oceanic affairs at the national security council under both presidents george w. bush and barack obama. and a korean analyst for cia. rounding out our team is victor cha, the trump former white house candidate for ambassador to south korea, and importantly these days, an msnbc analyst, we are very lick to have the expertise we have at this table, particularly at the very end of this table here. it's a night when we need to be able to parse nuances and understand the subtleties of what is going on. well also have to be cognizant of how much we're being stage managed. >> i don't know what you're talk about. >> well, there has been interesting reporting and speculation as toe how much is going to be open for discussion at this event, how much may have been previously decided. the way i'm approaching this, at least the way that i'm trying to think about this today is to sort of not allow the spectacle and just the weirdness and the unusual nature of the meeting overshadow what's happening here. i don't think we should sugarcoat what the president has done here by agreeing to this meeting. this is -- north korea is the most repressive dictatorship on earth, arguably. concentration camps, re-education camps, deliberate starvation of their own people as punishment. last february, it with us only last february that this dictator assassinated his own half-brother with vx nerve agent in a public airport in malaysia. just in the state of the union address this january this year, president trump hosted a north korean defector, a man who was an amputee, a man who was tortured in prison, whose father was tortured to death, whose grandmother was starved to death. there is a reason why no u.s. president as ever agreed to give the north korean dictatorship what they have wanted for so long. there is also a reason why they want it. they want the international legitimacy, but they also want to be able to demonstrate to their own people that no matter what they do to their own people, and no matter what that they do with nuclear weapons, they have force order manipulated the rest of the world to see this dictatorship as essentially legitimate, and to see kim jong-un as a legitimate head of state. and that is serious as a heart attack. as weird as this is and almost as incredible as it is as a spectacle, this is a very, very serious line that the president has just crossed. >> both men, presumably both motorcades have arrived inside the hotel, but we're waiting for confirmation of that. nicolle wallace is among the better sourced people at this network, especially in this area we're talking about tonight. and coming out of what rachel just said, let's agree to two things. number one, that this is a regime that craves being relevant, craves being in the conversation. number two, none of us would be here, they wouldn't be here if there iso nuclear weapons in north korea. >> and number three, you talked about not sugarcoating things, let's not sugarcoat the fact that we're all doing this because donald trump wants us to. donald trump is there because he knew we'd be here. thiss it. this is all he's got this. is his midterm strategy. this is his get out of sitting down with bob mueller strategy. two sources texted me. i just looked at my phone on may 25th and may 26th when it was widely reported that talks were off. talks were never off there was a meeting in the dmz with the americans and north koreans on may 26. the whole thing was trumpian head fake. the whole thing that we're being played issing in we have to bake into the cake a little bit tonight. >> both that it's happening now but whatever it's going to be announced tonias if it's just been agreed to in that room. >> and that it's a foreign policy exercise. it is also in every way imaginable a political exercise for donald trump. >> chris hayes, when you're looking ahead tonight toward what we're going to hear, but also to what nicolle is just saying about what has happened already, whose interests are being served? what are you watching for? >> that's the question. in a strange way, in the short-term a coincidence of interest between donald trump and kim jong-un. one of the things that's so odd about watching donald trump perform the role as president of the united states is that he does perform it in a monarchial fashion. we saw it at g7. he, donald trump, the individual, the king, was angry at justin trudeau. and so he blew up a communique in g7, right? the way we think about the democratic republics undertake foreign policy is that there are interests and institutions represented by the head of state who is democratically elected. it's not the whim of the head of the state, right? the idea is that we have democratic representation, accountability precisely so that you do not have foreign policy undertaken as a kind of play of a person's ehead of state's personality. there is this bizarre spectacle of watching him come out of the g7 and say i was angry about the way justin talked about me, but i like this kim jong-un. and maybe we can work out a deal. you think to yourself, well, no, the united states, we democratic people, we have a say in this. this is sort of accountable system. >> and to you point, he doesn't run on this. what he said on a cbs morning show he would hope that he would disappear. to your point about democracies, this is not the foreign policy that he ran on, that i was going to singapore and elevate kim jong-un. >> depending on whated, this is what he would like to run on and republicans to run on in november. stand big in november is our chief correspondent andrea mitchell. andrea has reported on relations between the u.s. and north korea for every president since reagan. andrea, what are you looking for tonight? what have we been learning as we head toward the start of this one-on-one? >> i think your cautions to avoid the circus, the orchestration as much as we can is well taken, because we need to really look at that joint statement. we believe from our sources that they have agreed on a squloynt statement. that's why secretary pompeo came into the briefing room i don't know how many hours ago. i was morning i guess our time here and said they're moving very quickly. and the president is going to leave, we later learned, leave tonight after his news conference following the summit rather than staying until wednesday. so instead ofaving a second day, things were going so well, flayed agreed among the experts on the framework of something. and what that something is, i've been told is some kind of a commitment from kim jong-un to denuclearization. the problem, of course, what does that mean? how do we ever verify what he has, because we don't know what he has? the estimates vary from 20 to warheads. we're talking about thousands o people in an underground complex. rachel, you've been there. you know how complex this is. and from all of our reporting, i've been there a couple of times, but n at the nuclear weapons sites themselves. this is a very, very mysterious program, and they cheated before kim's father, kim jong il cheated in 1994 and fooled bill clinton. in 2002 his father cheated george w. bush. so all of the experts, all of the cia analysts did not know that he had a second program beyond the plutonium of uranium. that's the kind of thing that we don't know how good he is. is he resting on his laurels? is he agreeing not to test? i don't certainly cite that because he already knows he has the long-range missiles that can reach the american homeland. these are just some of the things that victor cha and also know very well, better than i. that's what we really have to look at. are they going to agree to a peace agreement between north and south, which would actually get in the way of reunionifying the peninsula, because a peace agreement would mean ratifying the existence of north korea. >> andrea, don't go far from a microphone and a camera, because we'll be coming back to you. while you've been talking, we have preset cameras in singapore that all the television networks are taking advantage of. we have very little control over the picture we're getting, but we hav

george w. bush, their relationship really unraveled toward the end. host: do you think george w. in 2004 inrious naming a replacement to dick cheney? guest: i think they considered it more seriously than president obama did, because there was thought of replacing biden with hillary. when i worked for obama, he said the only person who would've been less happy about that would have been hillary clinton. a lot of people don't want to be vice president. it is a difficult job. but i think that it is an ,ncredible opportunity especially for someone like mike pence, who very well could have lost his race for governor in indiana. he is now in a position where he could one day be president, with his name known nationally. few people knew who he was outside of indiana just a couple years ago, so it is a stepping stone. infantilizing. i interviewed mike donald, and he says it makes you wonder if you matter very much. i thought that was a great quote. joe biden was in the senate for almost four decades, who, like lyndon johnson, had incredible power, and is made subservient. guest: did the
