in vietnam to the botched evacuation from afghanistan last year, every u.s. president since george h. w. bush is perhaps the last person to have any inclination to succeed. one way or another, the wars in afghanistan and iraq were cleared up. the crumb of relations with china and russia, the huge wealth inequality in the united states and the complete absence of plans or strategies on almost all issues, be it energy, social security, the environment. environment and migration suffrage and national security. here are the signs of a nasty america that is in danger of becoming even more gadge, the most pressing question is how the states get out of this ugly situation, firstly the united states must show leadership and professionalism at home and abroad. there can only be one president in america today. this is joe biden. he should gather the leaders of the congress at his residence in kandy and not let anyone out until an agreement is reached on three or four key ones. a cross that will change the nation one of the most important thing is how to get congress to work and find sound bipartisan so

so it was a violation of a promise, and under george h. w bush was conceivable. had he won reelection that russia would have become part of a wider european security arrangement that was not to be that was a tragedy for all concerned. yes, and let us part, it's where we are today and fast forwarding to today. russian officials have now said the moscow's aim and ukraine has changed. amid the growing presence of american supplied rockets on the ground. what are your thoughts on that's this is a major event. we have the, just the foreign minister of russia making an announcement saying, look, we had limited our objectives to the bus to, i don't yet skin ganske. we've changed that. that substantially changed his words. now we're going to expand and with reason we have to expand has to do with geography. can you get that geography? why he graphy? because there wish this a play, the kinds of missiles with ranges of about 50 miles right now, that can endanger our troops in danger, our gains in the dunbar and elsewhere. so we're going to have to move our front line up so

these countries were targeted by the george h w bush, or george w bush, the senior vice president of ronald reagan and bribed with hundreds of millions of dollars. and these monies were given the countries in exchange for their acquiescence and their submission to american military and economic and political objectives. no ring of nato military bases is being formed around russia. the u. s. and nato have over $600.00 military base is world wide. russia has just 18, but the west still claims that russia has aggressive intent by turning those russians. the soviets into this dangerous boy, man that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy to create this image of the soviets. as out for world conquest, which was not the case, then for now with nato should have died, but they will give it meaning. it is about infected created by, by nature nature, business machine. because you must remember, if nature, what is bad. shareholders in united states and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions and millions they'd only have one year instead of 2 yards each . there

the legislative office to work on all these investigations of the cia and i met the director, george h w bush who had come to head the cia, had been ambassador to china, where i established my relationship with bush. i was 26 years old at the time and that relationship was pivotal in my life, it made me attorney general. >> host: he served in that role for a year. >> guest: he served as head of cia for one year and during this time the cia was under investigation by 6 committees and one commission for alleged excesses during the cold war, things like assassinations and things like that and he had to defend the agency when everyone was trying to tear it apart and he did such a great job in that one year and won the respective agency professionals who were the old-time cold warriors in those days that they named the cia campus building after him. it is the george hw bush republican center. that is the impact from one year on the job. >> you are the number 2, you become acting attorney general, and attorney general thornburg gets to run for senate with the death of senator heinz. it was supposed

legislative office to help work on all these investigations of the cia and that way i met the director george h w bush who had come to head the cia. he had been the ambassador to china. came to head to cia and i established my relationship with bush. i was 26 years old at the time and that relationship was obviously. pivotal in my life because he eventually made me attorney general. he served in that role for a year if i recall. yeah, he was in that role as a head of cia for one year and during this time. the cia was under investigation by six committees and one commission. this was for alleged. excesses during the cold war things like attempted or successful assassinations and things like that. and so he had to defend the agency during the time where everyone was trying to tear it apart. and he did such a great job in that one year and he won the respect of the agency professionals who are the old-time cold warriors in those days? that they named the cia campus and building after him. it's the george hw bush intelligence center. so that's the kind of impact. it could have even just one year in the jo

george h. w bush vetoed. got bill under intense pressure from retail executives, companies like gap and kmart and limited who wanted to continue to be able to access cheap chinese made garments since 2006. u. s. has imported by far more garments than any other country on earth. and since 2018, it's been really hard to ignore that there are internment camps, active inch and young, and yet companies are still doing business there. so it's a long time coming. and i think the u. s. it should be at the forefront of the fight against force, labor inch. and john, because we've really been at the forefront of produce up throwing billions of dollars into a region where this is happening. i am wondering if we're at a stage where we're grappling with global accountability for how our products are being made. can i just do a quick poll and just check with you as to who's responsible as it consumers, the companies or corporations of the government? sophie, all 3, i think that because corporations are the one profiting fro

>> for more on this we turn to andrew weiss who served in the george h w bush and hunton administrations at the pentagon and the state department. the carnegie a down meant, welcome back to the newshour. let's start with a possible deal of what has been a blockaded port of odessa. >> the russian government is trying to strangle ukraine's economy. one of the key exports of the ukrainian economy is grain which it sells primarily to countries like sub-saharan africa and the middle east. the impact on global food and security from these blockades has been quite significant. the russians also bombed port facilities in southern ukraine. the question is if the russians suddenlyad a change of heart where they no longer wanted to destroy ukraine's economy and their ability to feed the world. i will remain somewhat skeptical about that. this is an extremely delicate stage about that. weill see what the actual agreement consists of. it does require a certain suspension of disbelief that the russian government is negotiating in good faith. >> if the agreement is signed, how significant is that? >> w

to be clear, cipollone is a conservative right-wing republican who first worked for george h. w. bush in william barr's department of justice in the 1990s. he's also concerned -- he cofounded the national catholic prayer breakfast, and even counseled fox host laura ingraham beach before her conversion to catholicism. when he took over as white house counsel in 2018, he was a very loyal spur of donald trump. in fact, he led the defense of the ex president in his first impeachment trial. it appears from what we know in testimony and reporting that happened in the 2020 election, when trump tried to overturn the results, and overthrow american democracy. pat cipollone, to his credit, would not go along. he was very firmly in the anti coup camp. after the first six committee hearings, we have heard directly from witnesses about how cipollone rejected down trump's efforts to use the justice department to help push his claims of election fraud. assistant attorney general stephen angle described his reaction when trump tried to promote loyalist jeffrey clark who was prepared to give a letter

were reams upon reams of news footage of ronald reagan during the other scandal, yelling at george h. w. bush about, why aren't you doing the iran contra scandal harder? you must hate trump if you're not doing the scandal so hard. you are failing me. it is baffling that anybody can actually think that you can get a scapegoat without immediately implicating donald trump as the very next measure. >> and meadows, you're reporting and that question from the committee. i would be nervous if i were him, particularly post-cassidy hutchinson. we are going to be seeing how that plays out, as always, great reporting, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> still to come, senator lindsey graham is a necessary material witness, so says a fulton county judge who ordered graham to appear before the grand jury investigating election fraud. that full story, next. jury investigating election fraud that full story, next. that full story, next. i have two daughters and then two granddaughters. i noticed that memories were not there like they were when i was much younger.

clarence thomas is the longest serving justice on the court today nominated by president george h. w bush justice thomas began serving in 1991 his nomination process of course was one of the most contentious and closely followed in history the issue of abortion and the law came up. here's justice thomas. and i think we all feel strongly in this country about the our privacy i do. i believe the constitution protects the right to privacy. and i have no reason or agenda to prejudge the issue. or that predisposed to rule one where the other on the issue of abortion which is a difficult issue. i'm not asking you to prejudge it. just as you can respond. and i will get into some of the questions to which you responded yesterday both from senators thurman catch and biden about matters. that might come before the court. certainly can express an opinion as to whether or not you believe that a woman. has a right to choose the terminator pregnancy without indicating how you expect to vote in any particular case and i'm asking you to do that. senator i think that to do that what seriously compromise m

prescott bush, the father of george h. w. bush was the treasury for planned parenthood.these issues mean today, and one of my so concerned about? it's not as that individuals will travel, but there are legislators that are threatening to criminalize even children and women who travel out of state to seek reproductive health care services, including abortion. they are also seeking to possibly extradite doctors who are providing this essential care in what i would call free states like california, new york, illinois, et cetera. this is just how dangerous and deadly these times. are we are the deadliest country in all of the developed world to be pregnant. >> oh my goodness, we could do this all day, but the time constraints of natural television. ththank you all for a very tough but real conversation. >> thank you. >> next, we are going to chat a little bit about crowned a. we can't let this go back with some real talk about discrimination and the work that is being down into and it. -- a founder of the crown coalition, one of the members actually, joins me right after thi

i covered george w. bush. not h. w. bush. with george w.bunch, a normally decent man, with good intentions i never understood why he ran for president except his name was bush, i don't think he had much ideas are many ideas about what to do with the presidency. he listened a great deal, but maybe not enough to his father. and you know the rest of that story. so, that was the white house and those were the five presidents, and that's the bulk of it.

we know that president george h. w. bushand his cabinet ultimately decided that not only would a unified germany remain part of nato, but that nato would have the freedom to potentially expand in the future. what are your thoughts on that chapter? because as i said, it's looming large now, the so-called not one inch. >> the open door policy of nato, which goes directly against the notion of not expanding at one inch, is in fact built into the nato charter of 1949. so, structurally, nato has had this element of it, so we didn't finland are probably going to enter the alliance with the summer on the basis of this policy, the open door policy. that is not a 1989, shift that it is an old policy that has been woven into nato. i think it's perfectly legitimate to talk about the historical record and to go over those discussions and see what was said and what people felt that what they thought about, it that's a legitimate historical conversation. the idea that anything james baker would have said in private is binding or is sort o
