jeffrey engel talks about his book, when the world seemed knew, where he examines president george h. w. bush's foreign policy initiatives at the start of the post cold war world. the center for presidential history in southern methodist university, and the george h. w. bush presidential library, cohost of this event in november 2017. >> good evening. my name is tom knock, and i'm a member of the department of history. i served a couple semesters ago as director at the center for presidential history, and i can't tell you what a delight it is for me to welcome you tonight on this very special occasion. before we get underway, i want to express our appreciation to our friends at the george w. bush presidential library who are co-sponsoring this event with us, as well as c-span, which is taping tonight's lecture. we are also very happy to have with us tonight general patrick, director of the bush library. i want to also direct your attention to a major event we had on december 7th, when peter baker of the new york times will be a guest to talk about his book obama the call of history. we are also

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. in the 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 this russian soviets into this dangerous boogeyman that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy to create images and soviet as out for world conquest, which was not the case, then bar. now, the nato should have died, but they won't give it meaning. it is about, in fact, created by, by nature, nature's business machine. because you must remember, if nato were disbanded, shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large companies would lose millions and millions. they don't have one year. instead of 2 yards each. there are,

supreme court justices appointed by george h. w. bush, and george w. bush and donald trump have delivered whatever he republican presidential nominee since reagan has promised their voters they would deliver. it may be that all of the republican presidential candidates who ran as antiabortion candidates with no exceptions did not believe they were when they were saying. but the supreme court justices, chosen by republican presidents are now and forcing the words that those presidents at least pretended to believe. leading off our discussion tonight are carol sanger, law professor and author of the book about abortion, terminating pregnancy in the 21st century. also with us, president and ceo of vote latino. let me begin with the evolution of republican thinking on abortion, obviously something that law students, with judicial ambitions, we're paying attention to. knowing where they would have to go on this if they were ever to make it on to the federal bench and above. and it seems to me that the message, whether politicians believe what they were sayin

security advisor to president gerald ford and was -- would become the national security advisor to george w. h. bush. he took an interest in my career and when president george w. h bush was elected he took me with him to the white house soviet specialist at the end the cold war, doesn't get much better than that, but the is seconds lesson is find people who are interested in you and your career who can help to guide you and open up opportunities. we sometimes say i want to get there on my own. nobody get there's absolutely on their own. there are always mentors. there's another important lesson. sometimes we say you have to have role models and mentors who look like you, if i had been waited for a black woman soviet special mentor i would still be waiting. so your mentors and role models can come in any color, shape or size, just find somebody who really cares about you and your career. and the final part of that story is that when in 1990 randal goforth mikhail gorbecev were in marine one. and i thought i'm glad i changed my major. so if you find your passion and work hard and don't worry about wh

how speech writer president george h w. bush. thank you for joining me. michael. pleasure. god bless me. ok. so vice president harris says that she wants an investigation into how things are being handled. but isn't she the one that was actually put in charge of handling the situation at the border? so what type of investigation? how would that look? you're really everything that she has had to say from the very beginning of her appointment in this on this critical function back in march to now it's made almost no sense. and even today she sounded, are we confused with related to the crisis? unclear as far as the nature of it and responding only to the sort of brief optics as opposed to addressing as she should be the obvious reality core of this crisis. because all the way back to january 20th went by and began reversing for president trump's hash together imperfect vastly. superior said the immigration policies that had this crisis basically held it back. you got rid of the number to the, the stand next to policy which was usually constructive, obviously suspended the con

criticism came from american politicians simply because it never translated into action from the george h w bush, bill clinton election all the way through the election of 2016. we have at least one candidate, ross perot and then ralph nader, and then later even some democrats like president obama and hillary clinton, and by 2016, both hillary clinton and donald trump were critics of nafta, calling for its we negotiation or elimination. when donald trump came into office and made clear he intended to actually renegotiate or scrap nafta, it was very unsettling for canadians. in the end, we came up with an agreement, the usmca, and i think it is a good agreement, and i am glad we continue to have market access for canadians, but it was very unsettling. one thing about canadians is they often have lower risk appetite, as they stay in the stock, than average americans do. . that is what i meant. . in the end. , it was a tumultuous period. it was donald trump who, on his way to his next big meeting in asia, called premise or trudeau weak and two-faced. this led to many canadians to feel that that was

jimmy carter, george h. w. bush, and donald trump. jimmy carter and bush were not wielding outsized influence in their parties after being rejected. far from it. carter returned to georgia, focused on human rights and diplomacy. bush also moved back home and lived mostly private life. in fact, being a loser tends to be detrimental to your political influence. people don't come running to you for advice. and donald trump is a loser. he squandered the advantages of incumbency, and yet retains their total control of the republican party, in part because he has fostered the big lie. this false story about fraud that trump and his party created continues to spread. it also plays a useful role in their efforts to tilt the playing field in their favor. they are still working to make it harder for people who may lean democratic to vote. most recent example? one of the most egregious today. republican governor greg abbott have texas signed into law that new restrictive voting bill, which bans measures that make it easier to vote, like 24-hour

also enshrined a late president george h. w. bush.raised $1.2 million for local charities. up next north korea's leader wants to talk with the south. they want big changes from the u.s., but is it provocative? i'm not getting through the pandemic just to end up with the flu. i asked for fluzone high-dose quadrivalent. it's the #1-used flu vaccine for people 65 and older. fluzone high-dose quadrivalent is the only vaccine approved by the fda for superior flu protection in adults 65+. i'm not letting my guard down. fluzone high-dose quadrivalent isn't for people who've had a severe allergic reaction to any flu vaccine or vaccine component, including eggs or egg products. tell your health care professional if you've ever experienced severe muscle weakness after receiving a flu shot. people with weakened immune systems including those receiving therapies that suppress the immune system, may experience lower immune responses. vaccination may not protect everyone. side effects include pain, redness, and/or swelling where you got the shot, m

talked about here, mondale, who won exactly, what, one state or dukakis who was blown out by george h. w. bushected that nominee was with the pulse of the american people, obviously ronald reagan in 80 blowing out carter who the "new york times" had endorsed and then in 84 once again the aforementioned mondale who reagan would have won all 50 states if he wanted to but wanted to be polite and said i'm not going to campaign in your home state and embarrass you. that's where we are at this point when the washington post and the "new york times" are your two most influential papers. the washington post by the way has never endorsed a republican presidential candidate. that's all you need to know about that, mark. >> mark: one joe concha is better than the washington post and the "new york times" combined. joe, i want to thank you, my friend. god bless you. >> thanks for the kind words, mark. >> mark: take care. we will be right back. are the things america makes out here. :: .. speaker 1: but everything looks like the clear. no ugly white spots in there. speaker 2: all gone. yay!

george bush needed to say to make a ton of new friends. the very same people along with rising fascists fawned over the speech and here's a selection. >> former h president george wericans to confront violent extremists at home. his speech yesterday to callouta domestic extremists. i thought it was a moment to notable moment. >> president george w. bush truly incredible speech. >> tucker: these people are craven buffoons and stupid obviously, but it's notable they are all saying the exact same thing. it makes you think that everybody's on the same team ans you're on the wrong team. is it that? glenn greenwald has been watching carefully and the journalist that writes on sub stack. joining us tonight. thank you for coming. what do you make of this? the realignment or the previous alignment? what are we looking at? >> it's worth remembering and i know you remember and started writing about politics in 2005 so i knew how liberals used to be overflowing with so much hatred and contempt for george bush. they frequently compared him to adolf hitler, claimed his family was crucial to the party, were criminals said he was filled with racism that he purposely allowed new
