george bush during his campaign and the run up to 1980. we won the iowa caucuses. we lost in new hampshire. the battle went all the way before george h.w. bush pulled out in ronald reagan became the nominee and he put bush on the ticket with him. tonight continued to consult with mr. bush vice president bush all that time and then into his next presidential run in 1988. the biggest challenge for me in writing speeches for george bush senior was that he didn't like where her sing. he thought it was unmanly to rehearsal night to convince them that ronald reagan or hearst and other people i had worked for had rehearsed and he really needed to rehearsed speeches. many rehearsed it was really good. in fact wednesday night of the 1980 he gave a terrific speech. reagan was watching and he didn't he said i didn't know the guy could speak that well because he rehearsal. >> we need a winner to lead aarp party to victory in the fall. our party regardless of -- want a republican in the white house after four years of jimmy carter fumbling in the american leadership raid we have such a winner and his name is ronald reagan. >> every once in a while he

administration, and i would like to ask professor koh whether he believes the action of the george h.w. bush administration, -- professor koh: george h.w. bush. mistake, werede a legal or illegal? two are very much. of all,r koh: first several different questions. i think the u.s. military is a critically important i in terms of the geneva conventions. i do not believe that the u.s. military would obey and order tom a civilian commander torture somebody in violation of the geneva conventions because they have internalized those rules. i think you heard some of that, which forced one of the presidential candidates to recant his position and to fall back to saying he would do whatever was lawful or something like that. every time he goes on tv, he recants the recantation. the second point makes the point graphically. let me put it this way. if i am on my computer in washington, and i am monitoring what is going on in the computer abroad, that is cyber monitoring. it might even be cyber espionage and authorized by covert action laws. determine the networks that are operating our legal and we ca

think back 24 years when george h.w. bushmed surprise by the technology of grocery store scanners. saying some grocery stores began using scanners as early as 1976 and the devices have been in general use in american supermarkets for a decade. the times was later criticized for exaggerating bush's lack of scanner knowledge, but at the time he was battling bill clinton and the recession, and the criticism had a lasting impact on the campaign. megyn? glad we've gotten to the bottom of that. trace, thank you. five swipes he tells us, five. hillary was not the only one facing critics today. earlier this evening, her husband, the former president, had a furious exchange with a couple of black lives matters protesters. watch this. >> ohhh! wait a minute, wait a minute. now you're screaming. so let's do another one. whoa, whoa, whoa!

what a republican used to sound like with george h.w. bushs, others that had the -- trying to deal with the fact that many terror networks out there are trying to get their hands on the nuclear weapons. donald trump wants to pull back from all the kind of institutional arrangements that barack obama is trying to preserve and protect. >> yeah, and steve, you mentioned some leaders, also ronald reagan. we could run the tape. he was leading on this meeting with gorbachev, all because there was a view that a muscular approach to protecting america also involved trying to negotiate so that there were fewer countries and inn control of nukes, because that was good for america. when you talk about art of the deal, do you think it's similar to the question i asked chris matthews before we heard from the president. do you think donald trump understands and rejects that entire consensus, or does he not understand it? he thinks it's expensive to be involved with nato and when typically we've thought of it as us getting the good deal of the bargain, becau

and here came along, you know, george h.w. bush. >> they said nasty things about each other in the campaign. you're right. >> people understand the candidates have to do that. but bush was traditional. he understood the government. he had served and earned credit for the service and also willing to embrace the big reagan ideas. >> one thing that seems to be coming out of the impossible choices is that donald trump contrary to the comments he's made after losing races, i think at the core he's more magnanimous than appears and reechling out possibly to the very oned vanquished it could be like a jfk/lbj kind of thing. they weren't getting along. jfk came back and said so do you have a place in the senate as leader of the senate but they were on a ticket. could it be something like that? >> trump has this ability. he has this wonderful charm to be able to go after someone so hard with the right hook and yet somehow befriend them later and it is okay but i think more importantly he -- these are not the right candidates for him to be t

george h.w. bush>> but too the overlap too much? you could have said the same below clinton-gore. >> what's what i like about the picket. the clinton -- gore ticket -- back then clinton was claiming to be a much more conservative democrat and so was al gore. back then this was a bold way of really doubling down on the brand, two young handsome, next generation politicians, playing the kennedy card and that was the motto, to make it impossible not to notice -- >> but jonah, the difference in was even though gore had run prior, he was not running in the year clinton wad so they didn't have time to rip each other apart weapon already know that rubio and cruz have. now, stranger tickets have been formed when they said nasty stuff but these two really went at it. how would that go, if it even got that far? >> look, donald trump is talking about maybe picking marco rubio, and they really went at it. the cruz-rubio stuff looks like tea party compared to. that. george h.w. bush coineded the phrase voodoo econ

and previous presidents eisenhower, george h.w. bush, george w. bush, ronald reagan, have all taken similar actions to apply to classes of people that have been caught up in our immigration system. the standing texas is claiming that it would cost money to give driver's licenses, that is the phoniest excuse i've ever heard. one, they can just charge more for the driver's licenses or they can deny them as they currently do to these people. this is not amnesty. this is a three-year moratorium so that the parents of children who are u.s. citizens can work lawfully instead of having to hide in the shadows and work off the books and be taken advantage of by businesses. >> the question is whether the president has the authority not whether it's a good idea. >> he has the authority based on several previous presidents. yes. >> and i have to say i'm with pat on this. i think to take that action in a country of laws, look, the president as a law professor, his precedent is there, that this would be unlawful. but as a politician he's changed. >> i would agr

do what ronald reagan did when hired george h.w. bush as vice president and jim baker as chief of staff. people didn't trust, didn't want reagan to be reagan, so quite smartly he hired out. he built a sense of trust. i think trump will do that, or the other scenario is party splits. you have this 'nevertrump' component, and they start a third party perhaps. there was a little bit of an element of that with reagan. you remember john anderson started a third party and he got 5%, and it kind of fizzled out. and you could see some people decide that they will never vote for trump and they will either sit this one out or try to find a third party candidate who is not determined yet. fernando: well, thank you so much. i appreciate all your insights. 1237 delegates are needed to win the republican nomination. 95 delegates are up for grabs in the next primary in new york, one week from tuesday. announcer: up next -- finding the right message. in all the right spots. fernando: some ads help improve the image of candidates, like this ad viewed by

so, how is it when a brilliant man or woman is nominated by george h.w. bush or george w. bush, they run into this kind , wall from the democrats even when the republicans had the majority in the senate, they didn't have 60, and the democrats were able to hold up and prevent a vote on someone as eminently qualified as priscilla owen. so, nominated in 2001. her 67 days were up. and she didn't have a hearing and didn't have a hearing for over a year. . d then years go by january of 2005 comes and goes nd she had gone an entire -- almost four years without the senate democrats giving her a chance to have a vote. nearly four years and they ouldn't give her a vote. so, february 14, right after george w. bush took the oath of , fice again for a second term four years after her -- nearly four years after her first nomination, she was nominated again. nd she'd already had a hearing, she got -- finally got vote on -- in 2005. years and getting elected to a second term before they would even give priscilla -- priscilla owen the decency, just give her a vote. leonard davis, it took no

george h.w. bush. he brought in, as i mentioned, he brought in a briefer when he was in washington every working day for his entire term which took him up a ten from where gerald ford had done it. he'd only done it for his first year in office. that gave him the ability to do two things. one, he could engage the briefing in much greater depth, he could ask the briefer questions, he could ask them for the deeper story, the stuff that didn't make it onto the printed page but left on the cutting room floor back at cia headquarters. the briefers who briefed him had to be prepared because they had a national security team that was no kidding experienced on this with a president who had been vice president for eight years w a national security adviser, brent scowcroft, who had been national security adviser more gerald ford. with people like bob gates who had also been a senior agency officer for years. these briefers had to be on their game x they said it was an exhilarating experience having the president

rick tyler msnbc analyst and joe watkins, republican strategist and former white house aide for george h.w. bushhree different times, three different ways. is he right, joe? can indiana basically clinch the nomination nor him? >> it certainly goes a long way. i think if he wins indiana, he's right. it's close to being over. he's actually got to win the 1237 delegates to be the party's nominee before the convention, but winning indiana really puts him on the path to doing that. i think it makes it a lot easier for him to consider himself the presumptive nominee if he wins indiana on tuesday. >> rick, on the other happened, your former candidate, ted cruz, if he loses indiana, is it over for him? >> i don't expect ted cruz to get out until trump secures the 1,237. if he does lose indiana, his path becomes very unlikely to the nomination. >> with your insight into that specific campaign, what do you think went into the choice of carly fiorina for vp? what do you think cruz hopes she will do for his campaign? >> several things. one, carly is very competent. she has a business sense about her. she co

when george h.w. bush came into office, he was vice president of the reagan administration and jim baker called it a hostile take over. they wanted to put in the team as well. they say look, we will come in and run our own ship and take time and really reflect on what that is going to look like. we are not going to try to distance ourselves from our predecessors or blindly accept what we are inheriting and take this as an opportunity to think through what we want to achieve and have available to us and the people we are going to rely on. >> i will say it's a time that i think is particularly vulnerable to mistake. you have a few people who have been confirmed and some pick and can't sign the memo. basically nobody know what is their telephone number is and their desk. people pick up on signals that the president has given and his inaugural and racing off with initiatives. my first experience in government was in the carter administration. we spent years trying to undo mistakes that were made in that period

during george h.w. bush, they got everything ready. so by 1992, they were ready. and then, during clinton, it turns out they actually went back for a while, but while they went back on plutonium, they were developing the uranium path to the bomb. so they made progress. during george w. bush, they built the first bombs. he said, we'll never let north korea get a bomb, well, they got a bomb. by the time he went out of office, they probably had five or so bombs, but they were pretty crude. then we got president obama, by the time he goes out of office, they may have 20 -- 16 to 20. i'm not worried about north koreans hitting the united states with a nuclear weapon. they can't do that at this point, and even if they could, why would they want to? i mean, that's a death wish. so we're missing the point. the real problem is, these guys went from having this crude bomb and a few bombs, to developing an arsenal that they believe in and with each nuclear weapon they build, they put their whole country more on that nuclear weapon. and so, george, i look at them like a comin
