george h.w. bush having won and lost. george w. bush having lost. is it that historically the bush name has not been the most popular name in new hampshire presidential primaries? governor sununu: it was in 1998 when he won the primary. in 1992, i think the president really suffered from a campaign operation that was a disgrace in my opinion. it created problems for him up here. i think the bush name is still a strong man in the state. i think the relationship that the state has by virtue of proximity to their being up in kennebunk quite often is an important asset. most important, they philosophically there is a very good fit. they want somebody that can get things done and the bushes certainly have reputation for doing that. they want someone who has the capacity in foreign policy. i think it is too early to start talking about specific candidates. i think the important thing to understand is the republican party is going to have a great process going on up here and people are going to be selecting from a very broad omenu of great candidates. mark

the relationship between the countries has not been this bad since the george h.w. bushdministration. it is really bad and it has been bad for a while. president obama's tone, the way he spoke about netanyahu and what he had said before about the two state solution, it was incredible the way he called him out. mark: what could save it is a failure of the iran nuclear talks. some sort of continued intelligence operations. some sort of increased sanctions. if there is a deal, things will get worse. john: i wonder whether he has lost some leverage over that veto ability. let's focus on today. john kasich made a traditional stop. it is the old politics and eggs campaign stop. here's what he told the independents of new hampshire. governor kasich: i do not believe that. i believe economic growth is a means to an end. you know what we have done in ohio? john: that is not the kind of talk we hear from many republican potentials. do you think he will get in? is there room for john kasich in this crowded field? mark: i think it is a possibility. there is room for him in this race

george w. bush? most certainly. george h.w. bush? i think so.l man, but if he wants to be president, all he has to do is lay out his vision. fund-raising with them? that's probably very smart. he is loved on the farther right. >> is this good object bad for jeb bush. >> jo are jimmy as passion. it's bad in terms of creating distance. he almost has an idea at national security team as his dad and brother, so there's not too much distinction there. >>> i'll make up for it later. >> it's jimmy's fault.

george w. bush george h.w. bush put scowcroft up to that. that's not the case. they knew each other's minds but it was scowcroft who gave an appearance on "meet the press" i think it was with bob schieffer, and his colleague and partner in the scowcroft group arnie cantor, saw this and said, hey, that's pretty good, you ought to write it up. so he wrote it up and sent it to "the wall street journal," they said, we'll run it. knowing that he faxed a copy to the senior bush to condi race and then it ran, and she got on the phone with him and yelled at him, and he says he got taken to the woodshed. and denied knowing about his position which was, which was not the case. and so, yeah it made things very difficult. but what was interesting though is that he later on was in support of the surge. even though he opposed the war, he said, well, where are we now and what do we need to do, and in this situation we can't withdraw, so we need these more troops. in the second term, he worked very closely with rice, with hadley who he's close to and then when gates came in aft

. >> now former senior adviceor to former clinton, george h.w. bush, good evening ambassador. without even looking at netanyahu's visit, how is it making the nouk lar deal with iran, the country sworn to destroy israel. >> obviously, i think prime minister netanyahu has deep concerns about the deal that is emerging. one thing that most people didn't seem to pick up in his speech to congress was that he actually moved his position on what would be an acceptable outcome. meaning one that israel could live with. for a long time, he said that iran shouldn't be able to enrich at all. that's no longer his position. he said would he certainly prefer it. frankly, i think other states would prefer it. but in netanyahu's case, he is saying effectively, get a deal where they have limited enrichment and try to ensure that the number of centrifuges they have is lower than the ones that are likely to emerge in the deal that's being negotiated now. so there has been a change on his part in terms of an outcome he could live with. he would like to see an outcome where iran has less nuclear inf

joining us tonight, former white house chief of staff under george h.w. bush, former governor of the great state of new hampshire. john sununu. great to with you with us. >> evening lou. lou: have you ever seen are you aware of a president who has demonstrated so openly so clearly animus toward the leader of an american ally? >> well, if we took our time we might find something that's related but certainly in modern history here, this is a little bit disappointing that major policy decisions are driven by petulance, and it is important i think, in this particular instance, to recognize that the united states' role historically has been to try and bring israel and the palestinians together not to drive them apart, and sometimes overfavoring one side or the other, creates more of a problem than it helps. i think the president ought to take advantage of prime minister netanyahu's walking back his position of three days ago to a point where the prime minister said he would be willing to move towards a sustainable agreement between the palestinians and the israelis

after jeb's father, george h.w. bush won iowa he skipped the new hampshire. and he lost.n. as for jeb's brother, new hampshire voters temporarily knocked his brother off by delivering his opponent john mccain a stunning victory. >> new hampshire has been known as a bump in the road for front runners and this year is no exception. >> we were passing out oranges door to door with people. and it was a blast. and it turns out my brother and dad won florida but didn't win new hampshire. >> what jeb bush also stressed is that he believes in limited government and he sees no need for a national increase in the minimum wage. >>> now denmark's free press society is honoring a cartoonist for staunch fearlessness in the face of death threats. he was a target last month. his appearance at an award ceremony was the first since the attack. he's drawn the prophet mohammed with a dog's body. >>> israeli voters will head to the polls on tuesday. but you get a sense of what many feel you say that the writing is on the wall in tel aviv's vibrant political art scene. >> reporter: is there a

i remember our prime minister in the early '90s with george h.w. bushnd tensions with secretary of state baker. saddam invades kuwait and u.s. and israel have to work together to solve the problem and do a giant strategy. we're in a similar situation today. we have tensions. they're clear. you know what? what the prime minister said is the most important thing. the issue is the deal. it's not the invitation. it's not protocol. a lot of the reporting, israel and u.s. have an echo chamber. you see in the u.s. and reading the newspaper on the web. you take that information and you build a theory and maybe the material is wrong. it all becomes so intense. let's get back to essence is the deal and essence is preventing iran from getting nuclear weapons. >> a poll in israel show the israeli people are split on the issue that's become an issue of the speech straight down the middle 38-38. 24% having no position on it. the israeli people themselves don't know if it's a good idea for some of them that the prime minister is over there. is it the prime minister --

administration and the sale to the saudis of certain weapons systems, or you go back to the george h.w. bush administration, of which i'm intimately familiar, and you go back to keeping the israelis out of the war, but this is a little more strained. and frankly, i'm happy with what the president has done so far. i think you're going to see mr. netanyahu being a lot more circumspect about what he says and does, and that's good. it's good for the relationship. it's good to bring balance back to the relationship. it's time the united states quit being israel's lawyer and became a goodwill negotiator, and it's time that mr. netanyahu stepped back and stayed in his governing role, rather than his iran is an existential threat and we need to derail the agreement role. this is good. >> that is the next plot point in this arc, which is that there's going to be something coming down the pike. today there were some details that were leaked. the state department knocking those down, draft details of the deal that might be struck. both sides saying no deal yet. unclear whether it's going to get done. w

last night, at a conference in washington, james baker, who was secretary of state for george h.w. bush, went out against netanyahu, came out hard, swinging hard. this is before "the wall street journal" piece came out, saying that netanyahu's comments about opposing a palestinian statehood were just outrageous. they were just flying in the face of years of american diplomacy, decades really of american diplomacy. this is james baker, who is now working for jeb bush. james baker who, in 1990, went before congress when netanyahu was the deputy foreign minister of israel, and said when you're serious about peace, call us. and then gave the white house switchboard phone number so somebody in israel would pick up the phone and do it. it took months before that would happen. i think with netanyahu here, with obama, i think obama is just a president who is publicly calling his bluff. >> i want to switch to the president's news conference today about the new leader of afghanistan. he's saying things that we have not heard before. let's listen to this. >> this unity is a reflection of the desir

international in 1990 george h.w. bushent of the united states james baker was secretary of state, and they weren't happy with the then new israeli prime minister yitzhak shamir. james baker was testifying before the house foreign affairs committee in 1990 when that irritation publicly burst open. >> everybody over there should know that the telephone number is 1-202-456-1414. when you're serious about peace, call us. what happened a year later made that relationship more tense. the entrail the israelis were absorbing tens of thousands of refugees, needed financial help seeking billions of dollars in loan guarantees from the united states and basically told the shamir government you're not getting those until you cease the settlement activity on the west bank and that caused a real rupture. what you don't see now what you did see in 1991 was actual cutoff of aid, if you will. one of the strengths that israel has had over all these years is that it's had strong support among republicans and democrats. among liberals and con

this is george h.w. bush's secretary of state. the secretary of state and republican administration. now he says 20 years later suddenly he's a pariah in the party. >> you saw jeb bush had to criticize john baker is one of his dad's closest friends. he helped his dad get in the white house. >> he helped w. >> the fact that jeb bush went out of his way to say james baker should not have spoken in the first place, and made the wrong comments it shows you how, you know support for netanyahu and support for israel is required in the republican primary. you cannot criticize netanyahu and win this primary. that's what you learned this week. >> i want to know what the conversation was like. after jeb went and did that. what did james baker and george h.w. bush say? it's a fascinating -- >> if you remember what happened back in 2012 you know mitt romney pretty much had things sewn up and newt gingrich won in south carolina. what kept him afloat through south carolina and florida was sheldon addle son. it cost mitt romney of $10 million to

the city club of cleveland has welcomed presidents reagan and we had george h.w. bush he was a vice president and presidential candidate and we've had clinton and george w. bush. we have a tradition of really strong engagement. and so you know whatever is on the president's mind that's what our community and our audience and our membership wants to hear about and wants to talk to him about. but the best part of the city club program for me personally is the q and a. there's always a q and a, live unscripted q and a with the audience. it's really not about what i want to hear from the president about what our members want to ask him. and that's going to be a very exciting part in the second half of the program. >> what do you think is on the mind of folks there in cleveland? what do you think in that q and a session they'll be asking the president? >> we have a highly engaged audience who really -- they pay a lot of attention and boy have they been paying attention over the last four or five days since we announced this on friday. and, you know i think that the economy

. >> you may have a 1992 dynamic everyone was scared off by george h.w. bush's popularity, no strong democrat ran and you had bill clinton and paul tsongas. elizabeth warren doesn't seem to have the appetite or strong organization. martin o'malley, doing hard work going to new hampshire. i highly doubt it will be him. who is the hillary understudy. everyone talks about the hillary's 86% approval number among democrats. that is because they don't anyone else. democrats are scared if hillary succeeds they will lose the white house. they basically have one shot. whereas in the republican field you see diversity of strength in republican candidates they animate one part of the republican base, walker and rubio indicate that republicans want a fresh face with real conservative that will also appeal all across the aisle for other demographics important for us to win. >> kennedy, what do you think about walker and rubio, another poll showing them at top? two candidates i really like. makes me nervous that they lead so much early. i hope they sustain the lead but what d

he mentioned the fact that a lot of people in george h.w. bush's administration struggled with this issue of israel. i think you're seeing that come up now with james baker and the problems that jeb bush is having because baker gave a speech that was seen as being to exactly what we're talking about -- >> who said? >> i'm sorry? >> who said he's anti-israel? >> james baker's speech at j street drew a lot of criticism. >> from whom? >> the right. >> a jewish organization. it's ridiculous. >> it's a jewish organization with a liberal peace now perspective. back in the first administration, they were tougher on israel, you know, scowcroft, bush, himself, and baker. that caused a whole bunch of problems for republicans who were trying to get through this. now the republican party is totally on the side of the most hawkish elements in israel, and defining this in the most extreme way possible. >> it ain't complicated. i watched this as i grew up. the democratic party was tied into israel politics when it was labor party politics. of course they were, th

though this is kind of suppressed, it is important, this is george h.w. bushnow he was in love with saddam hussein. he authorized further aid saddam in opposition to the treasury and others. he sent a presidential delegation, a congressional deliberation -- delegation to iran in april 1990, 1989, headed by bob dole, the congressional -- amy: sent to iraq? >> sorry, sent to iraq, to offer his greetings to his friendsaddam, to ensure him he should disregard the critical comment he hears in the american media. we have this for rush -- free press thing here, we can't shut them up. they said they would take off critics of their friend saddam. he invited iraqi nuclear and jameer's to the united's -- engineers to the united states for advanced training in weapons production. this was right after the iraq-iran war, along with sanctions against iran. then it continues without a break, up to the present. there has been repeated opportunities for a settlement of whatever the issues are. so for example, i guess in 2010, an agreement was reached between brazil, turkey, and

george w. bush -- not george h.w. bush. there was a straight lineage.not compromise principle, that is not negotiable. there is a right, and there is a wrong. democrats are a mob. the other part of the party is willing to give and take. they have a set of principles but they understand there is wheeling and dealing to go on and different ideas that have to be on the table to remove the country forward. those two things are incompatible. and that wing has gotten to be too powerful. i think it is hanging itself in terms of if you want political discussions which i do way too closely, hours every day i am reading chat rooms and twitter and everything to see which way the wind is blowing. it is very different than it was even five years ago. the wing is so far out there there is a real movement to bring back the progressive republican party of nelson rockefeller or eisenhower or roosevelt. i actually, every other day, think that is going to happen. and we will see but if i were putting my money on the party right now i would put it on that wing and not the
