the president george h. w. bush delivered in the early period right after the soviet collapse were early ninety's. when we, all the allies were together, unified and the leadership of the alliance was something that has a bush received a lot of praise for. okay, william courtney, adjunct senior fellow at rand corporation, thank you for those in such or coming together for ukrainian cultures. the war rages around them, musicians in hot kids have performed a concert for those sheltering in the cities, subway station. oh brains. second largest city has been under heavy fire from motion forces for weeks . many residents have been taking cover in the underground station at night. the concert marks what would have been the storm to hawkins and music festival? she would, amid the darkness surrounding us, now it's extremely important to show that there are eternal values and future in our country. that our country is melodious, beautiful, chris, intellectual and will overcome all these difficulties. but i've got some other

that purpose as articulated by colin powell and george h. w. bush, and edvard chavez, nancy and mccallum. gorbachev in a certain way, was eventual welcoming of russia and not only geographically because geographically it's there into europe and even into nato membership 1st with a political alliance. and then the military allies that want to strike in 1994 and later years when we started doing this wild abandoned expansion of the lives. but that in no way can don's an invasion into essentially a neutral country, which natal leadership and washington this leadership had already admitted. they were willing to say, would never be a member of nato much the way they have done pro forma with georgia. it's still good and good, you said that because of course as you know, washington the by the ministration little nature leaders, he had gen, stultz berg and the rest se nato expansion has nothing to do with the current conflict. and anyone who says that is a beauty and apologist. well, i'm not a apologist in any way. i think he's brutal. i think he's insane.

then george h w bush cut them in half again. george w. bush cut them in half again. but then we stopped, there were no more reductions. we have been stuck at this 13,000 weapon level. it makes you wish we had moved faster when we had the time to take the nuclear guns out of putin's hands. if we get a second shot at this, i hope we will move much faster so we are never faced with these nuclear tears again. -- terrors again. host: in florida, then. -- ben. caller: you never need weapons until you need them. that's number one. two, when you are dealing with weapons as a business, the first thing we have to deal with is lobbying. we have to get rid of that. the only people who get rich are the politicians, that is why they love the club. we are going to need some nuclear weapons, but we have to be smart about it. we will need some conventional weapons, and we have to be smart about that. we are dealing with a myth as far as picking on the nuclear. we need nuclear as a deterrent. but we do not need politicians using that to embellish themselves. that's what we have to wat

from that point onwards it was a similar holding pattern for every president, starting with george h. w. bush and the gulf war started all the way to the donald trump. >> there is no security for the united states in further dependence on foreign oil. >> this will reduce our demand for foreign oil. >> that's what i want to talk to you about today. a strategy to make us less dependent on foreign sources of energy. >> each day we see nearly one billion dollars of our wealth to foreign countries for their oil. >> we are independent. we do not need middle east oil. >> of course that last one was false. now it's the same story for nearly 50 years. i will talk to one senator who just spoke to the ukrainian president about how the u.s. can finally break that cycle of reliance on foreign oil, including from russia, next. which to his bladder, feels like a mile. yet he stands strong, dry, keeping the leaks only to his eyes. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you. i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance the only thing stronger than us, through the colonial penn program. if yo

. >> or for george h w bush, the success of that war did not help him in his reelection in part becausewere going through really tough economic times. he got a tremendous amount of support but it did not translate. judy: we are only two weeks into this more, going on three. >> i think that is important. how much this drags out and it only makes the president's job harder on those inflationary issues when you have a war that drags on. more pressure on gas prices for longer and other inflationary pressure coming from the sanctions and the rise of covid in places like china or the reemergence in places like china or europe also impact this inflationary pressure. judy: another tough issue for the president. right now, is the administration -- when weeks and weeks they have been trying to get their nominees for the federal reserve board passed by congress, confirmed by congress. there has been a struggle. today, the democratic senator from west virgin joe manchin who has been a thorn in the side of president biden on a number of issues announced he is not going to support one of the presiden

it's where i began for the bush family in texas, his grandfather george h. w. busher and built the modern republican party and that's where he has been republican the weakness in the primary. >> that is fascinating. and -- >> definitely fascinating. let's bring in who castro who is the former mayor of san antonio and the secretary of housing and urban development during the obama administration. and matthew dowd who -- dowd briefly ran as a democrat to challenge texas's lieutenant governor. he withdrew from the race in the summer. okay. i just want to start with juliÁn castro, because i am fascinated by the cisneros resist cuellar race. so i guess the question, all what has happened around the issue of abortion in the state of texas, diverse sense of what how that issue motivated progressive voters to come out for cisneros? and if you think that is the case, why do you think that says about the strength of that issue and how in my play in the general? >> i think it did, joy. there are a couple of ironies here. when it's that. one she has been very unabashedly pro-ch

so it is interesting, joe biden finds himself in a position, much like george h. w. bushng, "on to baghdad." >> yeah. >> bush kept going, hold on. that's not why we went into kuwait. he paid for that politically. of course, history has proven him to be right. but you're right, you really can't look at the poll numbers week-to-week in a crisis like this, can you? >> i had not considered that, the analogy of what h.w. bush went through, but it is apt here. you know, you can't -- you just can't -- if you look at how the american people are feeling,wor about is, we have all the strength. we have all this unity. we still can't stop it. so what is it all for? i think that rather than trying to make this a superpower versus superpower, as the world wants to do, if you make this the u.s. and nato allies, the western world versus russia, this is not just about ukraine, this is about the world. it's the world circling around russia and putting the pressure on them. you can't just worry about ukraine. it's non-proliferation. if russia doesn't pay a very high price for what they are

authoritarians that democratic states can unite for a righteous cause, as margaret thatcher told george h. w. bushw is not the time to go wobbly. what would help most now? >> we definitely see the spirit changes in the policies of many countries that are starting to help ukraine at this point and pushing back on russia. but i think the assistance is not yet enough in order for us to succeed in having victory over russia, and that means that having really serious massive military support, defense support to ukraine specifically with air defense and specifically with planes and all the other possibilities, anything from attrition to ammunition for our armed forces and territorial defense and the society fights back on putin and also requires additional attention the sanctions that have been already used, already rolled out would be much more comprehensive and would be coordinated with all other willing states and states of the free world to press on the russian federation. i welcome the decision of having the embargo on oil and gas imports from russian federation, but obviously that decision is lack

submitted a letter on your behalf, judge jackson, and said in this letter and he's appointee of george h. w. bushintroduced you yesterday and very impressed by the support you had from retired judges, obviously not appropriate for current judges, but retired judges appointed by both democratic and republican presidents, as well as the bipartisan votes that you have gotten through the u.s. senator your other positions. but in this letter the judge, former judge ledig says you are eminently qualified to serve on the supreme court of the you state and says republicans and democrats alike should give their studied advice and then their consent to the president's nomination, and he adds republicans in particular should vote to confirm judge jackson. i thought that might be a good segue, senator cruz, to your question, so i ask chairman that the letter of support from former judge ledig, who employed senator cruz as a trusted law clerk be admitted to the record. >> without objection. >> thank you very much, judge jackson. >> thank you. >> senator klobuchar finds a minnesota connection to almost everyth

then george h w bush cut them in half again. george w. bush cut them in half again. then we stopped, there were no more reductions. we have been stuck at this 13,000 weapon level. it makes you wish we had moved faster when we had the time to take the nuclear guns out of putin's hands. if we get a second shot at this, i hope we will move much faster so we are never faced with these nuclear tears again. -- terrors again. host: in florida, then. -- ben. caller: you never need weapons until you need them. that's number one. two, when you are dealing with weapons as a business, the first thing we have to deal with is lobbying. we have to get rid of that. the only people who get rich are the politicians, that is why they love the club. we are going to need some nuclear weapons, but we have to be smart about it. we will need some conventional weapons, and we have to be smart about that. we are dealing with a myth as far as picking on the nuclear. we need nuclear as a deterrent. but we do not need politicians using that to embellish themselves. that's what we have to watch.

he said in this letter, he is an appointee of george h w bush, similar to the judge who introduced you yesterday. i have been very impressed by the support you had by retired judges, obviously not appropriate for current judges, both appointed by democratic and republican. as well as the bipartisan votes you have gotten from the u.s. senate. in this letter, the formal judge said that you are eminently qualified to serve on the supreme court of the united states. then he actually says republicans and immigrants alike should give their studied advice , and then their consent to the president nomination. he asks republicans to vote to confirm judge jackson. that might be a good segue, senator cruz, to your question. i asked chairman, that the letter of support for our formal judge who employed senator cruz as a trusted law of the admitted to the record. >> thank you very much, judge jackson. >> justice this morning in nashville illinois. >> he was a lawyer at the mayo clinic as we know and spent a lot of time. a lawyer in minnesota when he was drunk in the supreme court. minnesota. >> tha

and that's where he sort of formed his relationship with george w. h bush bush, right. i mean let's talk about what happened there. i mean, that's really the beginnings of his political odyssey. that's right. i mean it actually had not had not been for the fact that the two of them met and became tennis partners at the houston country club in the late fifties and early 60s. he would never have been in politics. i think it's very likely to say and what makes the relationship is so extraordinary is i mean think about history what president and secretary of state have ever been close. before usually you know practical choices like cyrus vans thread muskie or maybe their arrival like hillary clinton was to barack obama. try to bring the country together the party together again or whatever. maybe you like your secretary of state if you don't these two guys were friends years before politics even entered the equation so much so that when jim bakker's first wife dies of cancer. she's dying of cancer. the one person that jim baker confines in the one person he can find it. he
