in george h.w. bush's diary, it's a tape recorded diary like listening to dana carvey. dana once said the key to doing george h.w. bush's voice was mr. rogers trying to be john wayne. but when i was listening to the diary, he would be belly aching about the press in very specific terms. like, marine dowd did this, judy woodruff did that, sam donaldson did this. i was beginning to worry as president, the man who won the cold war had watched tv all day. what i realized, somewhat in consultation with tim, part of what happened is he had everything in his briefcase. so he had the white house news sum entry the tape recorder. so he would be on marine one or air force one and pull everything out and start looking at this and be reading this great transcript of everyone who'd been attacking him all the time. so he would just react to it that way. that's the reality. how many of you all love being criticized? maybe you're better than i am, but, you know, it's just -- and that -- to me that's the importance of the work you all do. it's that you all humanize people who are at risk

george w. bush, when you covered george h.w. bush and ronald reagan, they knew who you were and they wanted to know a little bit about you, whether they did it in the background or whether they did it up front by asking questions, they knew a little bit about who you were and where you were coming from and would kind of play to that a little bit. i see this now, and it may have a lot to do with who gets into journalism today. it's an interesting question with me, because i remember the days when i was -- wanted to be a journalist. i really wanted to be a novelist. i liked to write and i was going to write this great novel but i found there was a way you could make money writing. i was always going to write the novel on the side. but you liked people. you liked being around people and you wanted to build a relationship that way and write about it, telling people the stories. and so we wanted to go -- when you become a political reporter and you go out there and meet these political figures, you want to write about who they are, mo

houston place say the man accused of killing one of former president george h.w. bush'srs was out for revenge. a manhunt is out for george joseph pappas. he's considered armed and dangerous. his mother died on the operating table more than 20 years ago. >>> and the flight boxes from the crash has been recovered. peopleere all survived after the plane was taking off. investigators say it's too early to speculate on the cause of the crash, but passengers descried rapidly deteriorating weather. >>> the state of pennsylvania is investigating sexual abuse of children by priests in six catholic diocese. the diocese of harrisburg has idenozofens priests and others accused offiedti abuse. nikki battiste has more. >> i express profound sorrow, and i apologize to the survivors of child sex abuse. >> reporter: harrisburg bishop ronald gainer's apology comes as the catholic church is once again under fire. >> we take seriously both mine and the diocese's obligation to prevent such abuse from occurring. >> reporter: they released 71 names of clergy accuse of sexual abuse of minors in

george w. bush, when you covered george h.w. bush and with ronald reagan, they knew who they were and they wanted to know a little bit about you, whether they did it in the background or whether they did it up front by asking you questions, they knew a little bit about who you were and where you were coming from and would kind of play to that a little bit. i see this now -- and it may have a lot to do with who gets into journalism today. it's just an interesting question with me because i remember the days when i was -- wanted to be a journalist, i really wanted to be a novelist, i like to write and i was going to write this great novel but i found that there was a way you could make money writing while you were -- i was always going to write the novel on the side, but you liked people, you liked being around people and you wanted to build a relationship that way and write about it. telling people the stories. so we wanted to go -- so when you become a political reporter and you go out there and you meet these political figures,

george w. bush had people of color in the highest positions in the white house staff, so did bill clinton and george h.w. bush. president trump would be well served to have people of color in his white house and tell him exactly what it is people of color think, whether it's positive or negative, because a lot of people of color are very angry. >> ultimately this is bigger than the use of the "n" word. this is about perceptions, about understanding. you saw that when asked a question about the president's use of the "n" word, sarah sanders quickly went into something about job creation for african-americans and latinos but really the issue is bigger. there are a lot of people -- sarah sanders said something interesting that this is the first we're hearing of this despite the president's long history in business. that's absolutely not true. we've heard about president trump as some version of racist for decades. >> that's right. we've gone back to the 1990s with the central park five calling for their execution and then not apologizing when they were found not guilty, innocent of those charges years late

the first idea i honestly had was the first plane trip i took with george h.w. bush on the campaign in 88, we are getting off the plane and he said sheila wright in the limo with me. he said what is the problem between nancy and my wife? i said what you talking about? he said they just don't get along. i said honestly i never saw it. i never knew it and the subject never came up t again. but mrs. bush called me and told me how thrilled she was that i would be working for her husband and then she gave me the list of a set of t instructions which i cherished. the most important was that every time you go to a hotel and gather up all the shampoos and soaps and everything, put them in a bag and bring them to her. she took all this stuff to a homeless shelter on her own. she figured she wanted -- she had tags this big. barbara bush was an extraordinary person i thought. i found her veryy funny but she couldn't tolerate being singled out and praised. one time for instance the day before the election i said to igeorge bush, you know you were going to win, don't you? admit i

having worked for george h.w. bush the enemy of the people. >> is sarah sanders obliged to avoid contradicting the president on this? >> every great press secretary that i've worked with or that i've known in democratic and republican administrations has permission from the president himself to often disagree but more importantly more often to make fun, to use humor to diffuse. what we're seeing today is a concentrated effort to create physical fear among journalists that they fear for their safety, to destroy credibility, even though ironically the people that disseminate fake news is fox news, national inquire remember, am radio, and worst of all to rip apart the very fabric of trust amongst americans and our institutions, that is a play book directly out of the path to fascism. >> peter, what does it say about these times when sarah sanders points out that she's the first white house press secretary that has to have secret service protection? >> i don't know if that's true or not but what about the journalists who g

if no bill clinton, if no ross perot, the person who succeeds george h.w. bush is the nominee, following two terms is john mccain. his timing was this much off. in 2000, he had to go up against w. with ross perot not there, john mccain is the successor to george h.w. birth. >> people remember the campaign where barack obama was irresistible and impossible to defeat. ten years ago, mccain was nominated for president. the first two weeks, look at the poll, running away was john mccain by four points. >> he picked sarah palin, who brought the tea party and donald trump. >> history is funny, in many respects. >> john mccain was the hair to the great states people of the republican party. i haven't often found in history, i agree they were. i will say for senator mccain was a patriot that believed in america. i think donald trump was an heir to sarah palin in terms of the acrimony, you against them politics she brought into politics in 2008 and that he kind of brought to another level now or to a lower level, depending on your opinion. >> he never said a bad word abo

. >>> police now say they believe the m of a cardiologist who d president george h.w. bush may have been a case of revenge. he was shot and killed about a week and a half ago as he rode his bikeo work in houston. the killer fired the shots from a passing bicycle. now investigators have identified their ossuspect,h p pappas, they say he has a connection to >> the suspect's mother was a patient of the doctor andie dd during surgery over 20 years ago. >> i don't know when he decided to do this, but there was lot of planning that went into this. there was a lot of planning and sadly some skill. >> the search is on forappas. police say they believe he's getting around right now on a bike, but they also sayss it's le he may have already tiken his own life. >>> new infor just coming in about the flight that many are calling the miracle in mexico. >> tonight, our state department says a least 65 americans were on that aeromexico flight that crashed.>> one passenger recording video when the crash happened. we're going to show some of it to you right now. we'reo going t warn you righ

and george h.w. bushld never quite recover from that to go on to what was expected by most observers to be the re-election of an incumbent president. >> i think it goes to something that david referenced. that is the challenger finding something that is there. pat buchanan, very much like donald trump in his rise within the party found something that was there and he struck that nerve and he used it as a weapon against the incumbent, george bush. the same is true in 1980 with jimmy carter and senator kennedy. kennedy found something inside the democratic party that was there and couldn't exploit it. that is the achilles heel for the challenger, the ability to exploit it to the ability where you get the voters within the base to turn their head away from the incumbent and towards the challenger. whether they like the incumbent or not, as you know, there is this loyalty. that is our standard bearer. you have a fear that if you look the other way we could lose. well, the act of the challenge itself is alread

it was unfair when george h.w. bush was criticized for not understanding how a scanner works at a grocery store. how on earth could he ever? how on earth could he ever? president trump has no idea how coal miners live, and neither it president obama. some presidents had more of a a chance to empathize and connect with lives. same with ceos, right? they are not next to me in the airport right there. they are in their own planes in their own world. we created bubbles. here's the time question, then, that i think presidential biography brings to the floor and why what we are doing is so important for historians, but for society right now. we have to ask ourselves if the presidential system that was fused to our republican democracy in the 18th century is still sustainable as part of the democracy. it was a bold experiment to create what madison called a secular patriotic king. a secular patriotic king. legislated by the people, not her red sto heredity. we are the only country of our scale with a true democratic tradition
