he studied george h.w. bush pretty closely as well.those cases you had in the bush example former presidents who stayed out of the way not because they didn't believe strongly about what was happening but because they think that second-guessing a sitting president from a former president's position is ultimately corrosive to the republic in some way. >> you talk about george h.w. bush and george bush staying out of the way. did jimmy carter and did bill clinton stay out of the way? >> well, jimmy carter wrote a letter to the members of the u.n. security council during the first gulf war asking them to vote against george h.w. bush's proposal so no is the answer there. and president clinton is as ever his own category. he was so involved in the 2012 campaign, there were moments you remember where it seems as though obama hired clinton as a defense lawyer. >> so it sounds like -- and i summarize in saying in the last 20 or 25 years former democrat presidents get involved and republicans seem to stay out of it. >> that has been the patter

bush and george h.w. bush and i was chief of staff to george h.w. bush. the chief of staff gives definition to how the white house functions and serves the president. >> in your heart of hearts, when you see names like stephen bannon, former ceo of breitbart news, and corey lewandowski, with trump through and through, what do you make of that? >> well, first of all, the white house bure accuracy is the only bureaucracy controlled by the president. every other is controlled by congress. they appropriate the money, authorize how the money will be spent. in the white house, the president gets a free hand to pick a staff. the senate doesn't confirm a white house chief of staff, doesn't confirm a national security adviser, doesn't confirm press secretary. those people serve the president. >> these two names, someone who was accused of assault, corey lewandowski, and stephen bannon, who ran breitbart news. >> corey has been a political figure in massachusetts and new hampshire for a long time. obviously, we knowbart news and understand that. i'm looking for som

obama, as i found out when i was him, was very appreciative of george h.w. bush or george w. bush's help in the transition, so he w wants to be really helpf to trump, but he can also get something out of that, which is maybe a little bit o trump's time when it comes to deciding which of those executive orders to repeal. remember, trump has committed to repealing some, but not all, of obama's executive orders. obama is very concerned, rightly, with his legacy. if he can help trump become president, be, you know, a succesul president in n his early days, maybe in exchange, because trump is a deal maker, trump, who's not an ideological guy, will not repeal everything that obama did. >> my personal bet is he probably, the thing the president probably stressedd the most is do not try to undo this iran deal, but let's listen to what elizabeth warren just said to rachel in the last hour. let's listen. >> donald trump did not get the majority of americans voting for him. they did not. that's not how it worked in this election. that means he will have certain tools, but we are the ame

what i reported about president george h.w. bush, this from our special correspondent jamie gangel who reports that bush 41 called donald trump at according to bush's spokesman, jim mcgrath, mcgrath said they spoke for about five minutes, trump was very friendly and gracious and 41 wished him quote, good luck on your new challenge several times. i want to go to the white house. our white house correspondent is there. michele, shortly after hillary clinton delivers this concession speech, we are going to hear from the current president of the united states. he will go, is he going into the cabinet room, the east room, one of the stately rooms at the white house to deliver his speech congratulating donald trump. >> reporter: it will be the cabinet room. this will be the first we have heard directly from the white house. in fact, the white house has been quite quiet. as there were questions over what is going on in this building right now, what is the feeling. last night people were here in the west wing quite late, then after aro

some part of the impression of george h.w. bush will always be part church lady, right, because of dana carvey doing george h.w. bush talking about what would be prudent at this juncture and then tina fey created sarah palin. there was a nationwide poll that found that the 86.9% of americans believe that sarah palin actually said, i can see russia from my house. sarah palin never said, i can see russia from my house. tina fey said that and sarah palin on "saturday night live" and it stuck so effectively that sarah palin will never, ever live that down even though she never, ever said that. but if sarah palin was ever mad about that, we've never seen evidence of it. she took it in stride. she's been more than a good sport about it. >> at a rally in north carolina this week, you said that you like to visit the, quote, pro-america parts of the countries. are their parts of the country that you consider unamerican. >> oh, you know, that was just my lame attempt at a joke but, yes, new york, new jersey, massachusetts, connecticut,

when president george h.w.bush was in the white house, the turkey growers presented him with one of these turkeys. it was a great photo op. everyone loved it. outside the white house there was a protest going on by animal rights supporters who did not like the idea of turkey on thanksgiving. so president bush have been very clever idea of pardoning the turkey. so that is where that transition as. >> please join me in giving a hand to train for her. >> and sarah stern, chairman of hudson and u2 are magnificent. thank you for your probing questions and thank you for a terrific book. i have to tell you i was out of town and got home. my flight was delayed. got home at 2:00 a.m. sunday night. a copy of the book had been delivered to me. i should've gone straight to sleep but i thought i would just take a look at it. hour later i was still awake reading it. it's not only fabulous, it's a page turner. thanksgiving, yeah. i encourage everybody to buy it. there's copies outside. i want to mention that the ultimate chap

the president who was good at that was george h.w. bush. i learned about him from his biographer john meacham, james baker, and his white house chief. bush had gone the nomination, and now was his prime time speech. he said six words. read my lips, no new taxes. the convention cheered and he got elected. the tax issue was politically huge. it was a two-edged sword. the tax cuts had been popular with ronald reagan. it caused a rise in our national deficit. after becoming president, bush became painfully aware that he had to do something about the deficit because the rest of the world were concerned about the strength of the american economy with its record level of debt. when the budget talks came along in both houses were controlled by the democratic party who absolutely refused to cut any aspect of spending if you were going to have any money available -- there is only one way to do it. not only was new tax revenue needed to cut the deficit, but the iraqi army had invaded kuwait and so bush saw looming on the horizon expensive military war
