remember george h.w. bush's address after the l.a. riots was one by many political analysts one of the most effective in his presidency. that gentleman tried to defend his business with a a a machete brings to the many african-americans, but the president must stand up and do what president bush did. on one hand reassure order will be restored and provide the security and reassurance and guarranty that our cities will be protected while shifting to the need for empathy in the really, calling for healing in our country. this is unacceptable. it can't continue. everyone knows it. and let's not forget, we're in a time of a pandemic and historic recession. it is time for the president to speak to the whole nation and to be the uniter in chief. pete: waiting for all the protesters to get their citation for not social distancing. shows you hierarchy of priorities in moments like this. we had darren porcher, former nypd lieutenant, talking about what is occurring before our very eyes. >> in many cases they are rioters and protesters. there i

one of the things that caused george h.w. bush not to win his reelection was that ross perot ran and got 19% of the vote. if he had not run, i think it would have been a much closer election. that is water over the bridge. in this case, what will be very important i believe is that if there are some signs that the economy is improving, and there are some signs that some of the actions that have been taken are contributing to that improvement. and that will be a better case scenario for president trump's reelection than if it is not improving, if the forecast of things starting to pick up from a very deep hole. starting to pick up and there is some evidence picking up by the election, that would augur well for him. if not it will be much tougher. host: to remind our radio listeners we are speaking with , michael boston, joining us from palo alto, california. serving as a senior fellow at the hoover institution. he also served as a chair of the white house council of economic advisers during the george hw bush administration. let us

but then it struck me that his politics that so we picked the president of the united states george h.w. bush bill clinton ross perot. we could hardly avoid a screwup from bill clinton and the old george h.w. bush now the outcome is not a foregone conclusion instead of the walk down the il. with the 2000 election even america was divided over screw george w or get screwed by al gore but we agree on killing ralph nader i will not have examples recent elections for fear of attracting attention by the secret service like the obama white house. it works on parts of governments get in bed with fema housing screw agricultural subsidies and health care reform kills us it's great with that political analysis because in a free and democratic country it is a three-legged stool to be balanced upon a tripod of power and freedom and responsibility we live in a free and democratic country a little less democratic than it was before last night also it's a great deal of critical analysis because we are so passionate about our politics how do they end? and a passion sometimes and occasionally they turn into s

golden state advanced to the second round for the first time since george h.w. bush was in the oval office. >> you weren't supposed to make the playoffs. you weren't supposed to beat dallas. what does this say? >> that we got a lot of heart and we don't listen to people. we took all the people that doubted us and hated on us and took it out on dallas. >> that was a great memory. this date in 1979, the 49ers selected joe montana in the third round and dwight clark in the 10th. it was a good day in history. >> 40 years ago too. all right, dennis. thanks. >> [ laughter ] >> we'll be right back. we're all doing our part by staying at home. that could mean an increase in energy bills. you can save by setting your heat to 68 or lower... unplugging and turning off devices when not in use... or just letting the sun light your home. stay well and keep it golden. >>> marine life rescuers in florida are being applauded for saving a baby manatee. rescuers managed to scoop it out of the water and evaluate it on the dock. the manatee was underweight, suffering from a bacterial inf

george w bush. the 20th spot. it will be interesting at the next survey at the end of the trump presidency if george h.w. bush will move up at all. he passed away and we had three days of celebration. that has an impact. historians are people, too. bill clinton we just talked about in 15th place. george w. bush is 33rd. the first time we had him he was one point lower. he moved up one, but he is pretty close to the bottom ten, and not only are they -- they are certainly, the reaction to 9/11 is important, but the economic crisis, the wars, and his response to hurricane ka y katrina are all things that well see how they fair. barack obama came in at 12th. here are the top five in 2017. dwight eisenhower as we talked about before making it into the top five for the first time. theodore roosevelt in fourth place in this survey. that is fairly common throughout ours and also other surveys that are done. you won't be surprised that the next in line is franklin roosevelt. he is frequently number one, two, or three. the fdr biography that we chose to highlight was "no ordinary time. anyone read that in the audie

ronald reagan won the 1980 presidential nomination with george h.w. bush finishing a distant second and went on to defeat democrat jimmy carter in the general election, carrying 44 states. >> ladies and gentlemen, ronald reagan. >> good evening. i'm here tonight to announce my intention to seek the republican nomination for president of the united states. i'm sure that each of us has seen our country from a number of viewpoints, depending on where we've lived and what we've done. for me, it's been as a boy growing up in several small towns in illinois, as a young man in iowa, trying to get a start in the years of the "great depression" and later in california for most of my adult life. i've seen america from the stadium press box as a sportscaster, as an actor, officer of my labor union, soldier, office holder and as both democrat and republican. i've lived in an america where those who often had too little to eat outnumbered others. i've seen financial ruin in the "great depression" and also seen the great strength of this nation as it pulled itself up fr

just want to remind people that he previously served as the under secretary of treasury under george h.w. bush, working on financial institutions, the treasury, and between that and his joining the board of governors in 2012, he was a visiting scholar at the department of policy center. at the time when fiscal policy is as much or more critical, it is hard to imagine we could have anybody better than jay powell. thank you for coming back to the peterson institute, chairman powell. chairman powell: thanks. it's great to be back. i have some brief remarks, then i look forward to our discussion. the coronavirus has left a devastating human and economic toll as it has spread. this is a worldwide public health crisis and health-care workers have been the first responders showing courage and determination and earning our lasting gratitude. so have the legions of other essential workers who put themselves at risk every day on our behalf. as a nation we have temporarily withdrawn from many kinds of economic and social activity to help slow the spread of the virus. some sectors of the economy have effe

george w. bush. 20th spot. it will be interesting when we do the next survey at the end of the trump presidency if whether or not george h.w. bush moves up at all. he passed away. we had three days of celebration in this country of his presidency and the reminders of the things he accomplished. that has an impact, because historians are people too. bill clinton, we just talked about, in 15th place. george w. bush, 33rd. the first time we had him right after he left office, he was one point lower. we added another president so he moved up one. but he is pretty close to the bottom 10. certainly the reaction to 9/11 is an important part, but the economic crisis, the wars that ensued after 9/11, his response to hurricane katrina are all , things that over time, we will see how historians rate his presidency. and finally barack obama, his , debut in the survey, he came in in 12th place. not a bad place to start. just a couple more of these. so, here are the top five in dwight eisenhower, as we talked 2017. about before, making it into the top five for the first time. theodore roosevelt in fourth place in this survey. that's fai

it goes like a long ways it was actually negotiated by george h.w. bush and then secretary of state james baker and so what they did is essentially created a treaty was right around the fall of the soviet union the emergence of this new russia and essentially what the treaty does is it allows for fly overs between those 2 countries the united states and russia and it allows countries to fly over russia and russian planes to fly over the united states the problem is is that the trouble ministrations been getting angry saying that the russians will not allow the u.s. to fly over certain cities and so they're complaining that that has not been happening and so they say they're going to pull out of the agreement as a result of that so now president trump also just said this. we have a treaty as the other side doesn't adhere to it in many cases their old treaties older grievers said we pull out also so i think what's going to add that is we're going to pull out and they're going to come back you want to make you feel we've had a very good relationship lately w

the trump and ministration pull out yeah it goes all the way back to 1902 was put in place by george h.w. bush james baker was a secretary of state at the time related to when russia the soviet union 1st fell and russia was a very young country this open skies treaty was signed to essentially say that. you know russian planes not carrying weapons and u.s. planes not carrying weapons could fly over russia and vice versa this is been in place since 92 apparently the trump administration doesn't like it nato doesn't like it because they're saying that there are certain cities and areas that russia won't let them fly over and they don't like russia flying over their areas and so the u.s. apparently trump had a golf course that a russian plane flew over and was angry that they flew over its golf course and so they're saying that they're going to pull out of this treaty and they're going to go back and renegotiate interims words is always a much better deal because that's what he always says he's going to do that's what he claims to do but the u.s. has pulled out of a lot of treaties as of late is t

george h.w. bush, bill clinton, ross perot. we kill ross perot. we could hard live avoid a screw from become become and marry kindly old george h.w. bush. now, of course the outcome of the game is not always a forgone conclusion. witness our elopement with bill instead of of walk down the aisle. in 2004 we were undecideds on screwing george bush-0 killed by al gore. won't give anymore examples -- kill screw marry. got me thinking, the game works on a parts of government, too. you kill the postal service, get in bet women fema housing, mary the armed forces, same for government policy. screw growingal subsidies, it's great cool of political analysis because in a free and democratic country, politics is sort of a three-legged stool. politics balanced upon a tripod of power, freedom and responsibility. kill, screw, marry. we live in a free and democratic country, a little let democratic than it was before last night, which was fine with me. also, kill, screw, marry, is a great tool of political analysis because we're so passionate about our politics,

take this example 1992 presidential election, george h.w. bush, bill clinton, ross perot. kill ross perot. we could hardly avoid screw from bill clinton and we marry kindly old george h.w. bush. the outcome of the game is not always a foregone conclusion. witness our mysterious -- the 2000 presidential election america was pretty much evenly divided about whether screw george w. or get screwed by al gore but i think we all agreed on killing ralph nader. i will venture in examples from recent elections for fear of attracting attention from the secret service, hard is that sometimes seems to be in the obama white house, but anyway, kill, screw, marry, it got me thinking. the game works on parts of government. you kill the postal service can get in bed with fema housing, marry the housing forces. screw aquaculture subsidies, marry so social scared and healthcare reform kills us. i mean kill, screw, marry. a great tool of political analysis because in a free and democratic country politics as a sort of a three legged stool. politics is balanced upon a tripod of power, freedom,

george h.w. bush when the vision thing comes up. pursue equal justice for all. and the final one, they wanted to add because the office of the presidency has changed so much over the course of our history. performance within the context of the times in which they serve. now why do we do these surveys? we do them because, well i'll tell you a little story why we do them. i was standing out at the register where the books are being sold and i heard a woman going why is he on the cover of this book? i don't think that was such a great president. that's exactly why we do these surveys. we want people to get involved, interested and passionate about our own history and we live in a society where lists do that. our email is filled every day with the top ten of this or bottom five of that and doing this, although this is historians and has an academic base it still provides a basis for you to get involved and have conversations around your dinner table about whether or not you think the historians did a good

george w. bush, george h.w. bush came together and there was a sense of decency and respect. now with this other thing we expect to happen, the presidential portrait -- and i did ask trump if he would go to the library opening someday, and he said no, why would he even invite me? and it surprised me and now we're hearing about the portrayal unveiling. it's a very sharp contrast, when the obamas invited the bushes to their portrayal unveiling. they had 14 members of the bush family there, a beautiful meal together. they met the residence staff who they had grown to love for over those eight years, and michelle obama said we need to make this the most perfect moment for the bush fame. here we have a sitting president who will not invite the obamas back to the white house. it shows this real break with protocol that i think trump is very proud of, but i think it's really damaging to our country and our democracy. we see it play out during this pandemic, it's like this tension has been boiling and simmering. it's coming to the surface now, and we're seeing obama come out and crit

clinton hosted george h.w. bush in '95. the elder bush hosted reagan in '89.ese are the moments where politics is put aside and the country gets to see these leaders together and it's important. right? >> yes. it is. and truthfully it's rare that you have former presidents able to gather outside of inauguration or a state funeral. and so to have them to be able to gather and to pay represents -- respects to one another, it really is symbolic of a peaceful transition of power. and acknowledgment of leaders that came before your current administration. >> yeah. the one and only time president trump and obama met since the inauguration was president bushes funeral. they shook hands briefly. often in times of crisis like we have now, current president will call on former presidents to help. instead, trump continues to attack obama. what is it about obama that trump can't deal with? >> truthfully, even when it comes to the portrait. this is not a leader who has been known to appreciate fine art or hard work. combine the two, i'm not sure if this is something he wan

george w. bush and george h.w. and i have reporting in the book the last former president to see bush senior alive was barack obama. they had a very emotional final meeting in houston just three days before bush passed away, and now we're in this middle of this terrible pandemic, and the president will not reach out to his predecessors and i know for a fact from my reporting that they all would love to help in any way they can. we've seen them help again and again in the past. >> yeah, and he could use some help to put it bluntly. i think about, you know, bill clinton and the closeness he developed ultimately with george herbert walker bush like a father to him. this is the consistent way it's worked. there are 45 people with this job but this quote i thought was really telling from your book and it's about trump and empathy. he said i asked trump if being faced with difficult decisions that cross that famous desk because only the most difficult decisions reach the president had given him a new understanding and em

george w. bush and george h.w. bush defending the country itself and the age of cybersuccess. welcome back.n you get the call for advice from major corporations people who have been similarly victimized, your advice often is to pay. why? >> well, michael, while we have this pandemic going on, we have an epidemic of ransomware. and most companies, when they're hit, if they want their system back, have to pay. and the reason for that is two-fold. one, the data has properly been ex filtrated and placed on the web to the company's embarrassment if they don't pay. and two, if they enlist the backup, the enlist is probably encrypted as well. if they want to get back into business in a matter of days, or matter of weeks they should pay. now, paying doesn't help public good because it's money going to criminals. but if the company is looking after its own good and hasn't done a good job on cyber security, it has no choice but to pay. >> okay. i'm hearing you say they mean it. that they're not bluffing if they say that they will release this information. do they similarly mean it when they say if yo

they were the type of republicans who loved george h.w. bush. who voted for george h.w. bush.up on prescott bush as this towering legendary figure. my god, the changes since i made those speeches. they were jeb people at the beginning of 2016. so what's happened? >> well, you make a great point, joe. for people who don't remember who prescott bush was, he was the father and grandfather of future presidents george h.w. bush and george w. bush, and he was left of his party on things like civil rights, on things like welfare, birth control which was a big issue of the day. and greenwich was also home to lowell weiker. he was a republican who was a u.s. senator from connecticut who broke with his party to come out against nixon over watergate. also stuck up to science in education that they didn't believe were a good idea. there's this moderate strain of fiscally responsible, fiscal conservatism but not absolutist anti-government, anti-tax philosophy. what you've seen is there was a kind of drip towards where the party has gone nationally which means that, for lack of a better ter

the former presidents to see george h.w. bush before he passed away was barack obama. it was george w. bush seeing his father. but it was actually someone who was completely separated by political party, generation, everything you could think of but these two men, you know, forged a relationship and that is gone and i think that trump, if anything, has unified the four living former presidents. >> it's fascinating. and you had some reporting as well on the decision making between why they ultimately invited president trump to 41's funeral? >> right. i think that from my reporting, it was a decision that they made because of, first of all, bush 41 was someone who had a huge amount of respect for the presidency. it would be a huge story if some president you know didn't invite the sitting president to a funeral, because these lists are prepared years in advance. because they looked at john mccain's funeral and the people who work in bush's office said you know we don't want, his funeral to become about donald trump and in many ways, john mccain's funeral became about dona

president george h.w. bush. it came into effect in 1992. 32 nations are signatories to the deal. it allows countries to conduct reconnaissance flights over each other. it was meant to inform transparency. signatories would be reducing the risk of misunderstandings that could lead to war. several allies have urged president trump to reconsider the united states decision to withdraw. >>> still to come, an evacuation with complications. some michigan residents had to race from their flooding homes while maintaining social distancing. those details next. when taking on acne. and an everyday cleanser? that's breakouts worst enemy. love, neutrogena®. but you can stilln weekkeep up with the shows everyone's been talking about from favorites like starz, hbo and showtime. like the one that guy from work made a joke about that you didn't get. or the one with so many evil androids you'll look at your robot vacuum differently. even the show that makes this twitterer say "whuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!" everyone's got a show to recommend. say "watchathon" into your voice remote to upgrade now and keep up

george h.w. bush was the leader of this. he said i'm staying out of dodge. to get involved. he thought it was important not to criticize the sitting president and w. bush has been careful not to say anything. trump attacked that video. bush did not himself come out and say anything to defend himself. he had a spokesman come out and say this is about putting people together, not dividing them. except for jimmy carter. [ inaudible ] trump is an outlier and -- doing it with the president's club. >> the carters told you that the trump administration is a train wreck. >> finishing up on president obama here, how much more of this are we going to hear? what exactly is it about this pandemic and the handling has infuriated him? >> i think how we see it's disproportiona disproportionately -- it's concerned president obama and he's in a uniquely placed position to criticize president trump's handling of the pandemic. he called it a chaotic disaster in that call with his aide. but you know, he has been very reluctant to say anything. i talk to people around him who tr

we heard from george h.w. bush. we heard from obama during ferguson and baltimore. no message, no national cohesive message from the president at this time. >> that's true. that is in line with what we know from president trump throughout his animosity. he's not shown real willingness to be the quote unquote uniter in chief for all, that even some of his supporters have asked him to do in a different continue the text. he went to charlottesville. those moments he would provide a scripted statement that gave words of typical presidents in the past that condemned violence and called for togetherness and then you had, obviously, the infamous very fine people both sides statement that that is the one that we remember. you could not get a consistent message of unity that came out of that moment and you're not probably going to get one that comes out of this one. that's not been in the interest of the president. and even as he's called for federal investigation into george floyd's death he's called the video horrifying, what we saw was backed that tweet, that late tweet,

david mentioned had been there since reagan years, buttot only t, in a presidential debate when george h.w. bushasked to cite a contemporary americanit edhe dr. antho fauci. give the medal of freedom ine to 2008, he gave it to dr. anthony fauci. so no surprising in the pollmors information, anthony stood at 62% with the majority of republicans saying they trusted him. donald trump, at the same time, had a resounding 38% trust, 62% distrust. so as i think this is a decision that has been made by voters, alady, who do want solid and gnowledgeable information from ae politically. >> woodruff: as the three of us are talking now, david, the house of representatives getadig to vote on a measure being pushed by theemocrats, $3 trillion in additional aid ti people suf as a result of covid 19. the republicans are pretty much uniformly against it. even some democrats say they think it's too much. the chairman of the federal reserve said this week we need to do more forhose -- for people who may end up with sinesses that are gone or people who have lost their jobs. what are we to make, at this point, of mo

i worked for president george h.w. bushident to come in with a pandemic plan, spent 7 or $8 billion with ventilators and ppe and anything you need in case one of these hit. unfortunately, president obama exhausted the stock piles, now he is out there acting as if donald trump could have done something to prevent it, and i think that's a big mistake. >> part of the question, of course, is about the current president's approach, not history, but i want your perspective. i want your view on the misinformation as mentioned. take a listen to something, pretty serious. a florida man that contracted covid, talks about how he like others initially thought it was much less serious than reality. he is basically recanting. take a look. >> i thought it was maybe the government was trying something and it was kind of like they threw it out there to kind of distract us. >> recently took to social media about his experience, now encouraging people to take the virus seriously. >> this wasn't some scare tactic that anybody was using, it was

just want to remind people that he previously served as the under secretary of treasury under george h.w. bush, working on financial institutions, the treasury, and between that and his joining the board of governors in 2012, he was a

senior middle east advisor to president george h.w. bushd under secretary of state colin powell. good to see you, thank you very much for being here tonight. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: so, obviously china is under a ton of pressure. a lot of countries pointing the finger at them, they want accountability, they want to know what they knew, want to know why they did things like silencing doctors who desperately try to get on the internet and share what they know about this highly contagious virus. how do you see it? >> i wouldn't expect a whole lot of cooperation from china. i think what they would try to do is keep the focus on global responses and when it comes to inside china, look, it's been five, six months since all of this happened to the extent there was evidence, i would think it's gone, so we may never know the precise facts about exactly what happened in wuhan. we do know is obvious to what happened since. >> martha: so we see a lot of sort of hankering for a different kind of arrangement. a world where china is not such a po

>> george h.w. bush served two terms as vice president and was elected.so that's the one and also martin van buren served as vice president before. but that is not a path to the presidency throughout history. you refer to lafayette as a foster but the president pro tem but there is a after ascending a month to the presidency is on his deathbed and the president pro tem is out west to make nice with those native americans and says mr. president you need to rush back to washington the president is dying so they telegram again and said if you will not come back to washington we need you to stay here at the telegraph office. that happened but that was theodore roosevelt and his own right. did you agree with that? >> i argue of all the accidental presidents theodore roosevelt is the only one that would be president anyway. at least in the history that i write about is because it is available or with a constituency or as punishment with roosevelt it was punishment he was a complete pain in the whatever so they think they are in the political equivalent of the 1

jimmy carter, george h.w. bush, just two recent examples of that. they do believe that they can restart things this summer that will show some signs of life indeed heading towards that third quarter the president is putting so much on. but that's going to be a difficult sell, particularly if they can't give americans the assurance that there will be the widespread testing that experts believe is needed in order to truly safely restart the economy. but we're just not seeing that. new york city passed a really grim milestone just in the last few hours. 20,000 people in new york city have died from the coronavirus. but new york city is also one of the few places where the infection rate is going down. the rest of the country, it's still going up, and this is going to be very difficult for the president and his team to try to push americans back to work to restart the economy they feel they so desperately need if he's going to have any chance to be re-elected this november. >> doctor, on this new toxic shock type of complication for children with the co

george w. bush, clinton and ross perot. and then we married george h.w. bush. the outcome is not always a foregone conclusion instead of the walk down the aisle with george the 2000 presidential election america was equally divided whether to screw george w or be screwed by al gore we all wanted to kill ralph nader i want to mention any other elections last making attention to secret service although that's hard to do in the obama white house. [laughter] kill the postal service mary armed forces screw agricultural subsidies mary social security and health care reform kills us. it is great for political analysis because free and democratic country politics is the three-legged stool the balance upon the tripod of power and freedom and responsibility. we live in a free and democratic country little less democratic than it was before last night which is fine with me. also a great tool of political analysis because we are so passionate about our politics they and in a passion usually in a crime of passion and occasionally they turn into stable permanent arrangements

they're harkening back to george h.w. bushho addressed the nation during these rodney king riots. he appeared to be a unifier at that time. >> chris christie? what should he be doing right now? >> well, george, the first thing is to understand, i think what's gone on here, there are three factors that's caused what's gone on. the president needs to address all three factors. factor number one, the most important factor, the outrageous conduct of the minneapolis police involved in this incident. i was in law enforcement as u.s. attorney for seven years. overseen law enforcement at a number of different levels and then as governor. what went on there is completely unacceptable. by the way, those three officers who stood by while george floyd was saying i can't breathe, need to be held account, there's no doubt about that. i don't think there's a lot more work that needs to be done on something like that. to be able to bring charges. i think secondly what you're seeing happening in the country now, george, is that the inaction by
