>> little bit softer when it came to the bushes because he had just been invite today george george stephanopoulos -- george h.w. bush's funeral, his relationship with bush which is very strained and according to my recording i have talked to lots of people including george w. bush's family and friends say that was used as civil war. trump's presidency was like the civil war. the only conversation that is trump has had with george w. bush around brett kavanaugh who had worked for bush and bush called senators to try to get kavanaugh confirmed during the controversial hearing. they have only spoken twice on the phone and that was a long time and i know during pandemic former presidents want to be of service and help but they feel like they can't do anything right now because they would look as they are teaming against him. the story will be is why they are uniting and donald trump is not part of this and they feel like their hands are tied. >> there is one story in the book involving former president jimmy carter as we know many saturday evenings he would would be down the street in plain's georgia to meet with

. >> donald served as deputy attorney general under president george h.w. bush. >> bill barr believes these checks and balances that have affected and limited other presidents shouldn't apply to his president, donald trump. and he is working hand in hand with donald trump to realize that goal. >> even many conservatives who had high hopes for barr have said that he is being more focused on helping trump than justice. >> there was no collusion. no collusion. there is no collusion. >> as he said from the beginning, there was in fact no collusion. >> it started with the mueller report led by former fbi director and long time prosecutor rob mueller. the special counsel indicted 34 people including some senior trump associates during his 22-month probe into alleged ties between the trump campaign and the russian government during the 2016 election. before the report was released to the public, barr misrepresented mueller's findings, in a four-page summary. >> barr said as the president often said, no obstruction, no collusion. what mueller said was, i can't prove col

moment one is i'm showing you right now george h.w. bush had a disapproval rating net difference of minus 20 points the others to go through reagan reagan had a positive and then jimmy carter had a net difference of minus $22.00 points everyone else is well above trump in modern history trumps that and that difference right now is about 15 points so he is in a tear with jimmy carter and george h.w. bush course the 2 things that those presidents share in common when it comes to modern history are they're the only 2 incumbents to not get reelected so he does have an uphill climb according to the polls but the polls didn't give him a whole lot of a chance last time either and he still won so we're going to talk about that today i'd like to bring in this exciting panel of guests and have a minute or so themselves we're going to begin with you leaking tell us a bit about yourself why you're here today. good morning and thank you for having me my name is lee adagio and i am a we're doing elder. tradition on author and i am chief of staff of the d

rodney king ultimately led to the los angeles riots in 19921 he was attorney general under age -- george h.w. bush. how confident are you attorney general part bar can handle the case of george floyd and prosecuted to its fullest? >> i'm not confident in general bar at all. after his response to the mueller report and his manipulation of the evidence in his rhetoric overall. i have zero conflict. which is sad because the justice isn't the attorney justice. i have no confidence they will not only protect black liveses but the lives all across this country. >> michael starr hopkins, democratic strategist here with us to talk about the unrest over the country, reaction to the george floyd killing and racial relations in the u.s. let's talk about the other case, ahmad are very in georgia which happened earlier in the year but the in march headline in the nbc news says d.o.j. is considering possible hate crime charges in the omid opry shooting. what you see the difference between that and the george floyd case, given the suspects involved?ve >> clear difference iss one stae actor versus our breeze case

from his or her post in the last few months. >> presidents reagan and george h.w. busho stirred controversy when they tried to replace every inspector general at the start of their terms. president obama caught congressional ire when he removed an i.g. during an investigation of sacramento mayor kevin johnson, a vocal supporter of obama. >> an agency head or even a president who wants to fire an i.g. first has to explain why. >> but trump in some cases did not need to cite a reason for his actions. because many of his inspectors general were not presented to congress for constitutionally mandated vetting. they were, like so many trump appointees, even those in important national and homeland security positions, acting officials. >> i like acting. because i can move so quickly. it gives me more flexibility. >> he recognized early on that he could control these acting officials more precisely, more deliberately, and with more political pressure, and that they would be more accountable to him and not accountable to congress. >> critics say more ig removals call into questi

you mentioned george h.w. bush, and one thing he did was he was effectively acting president but refused to have his helicopter land on the white house lawn during that period and i thought that was an important symbolic step that reagan saw that bush wasn't trying to give power to himself and some other people maybe didn't acquit themselves. david -- right-hand allen what's national security adviser and didn't trust governor again and kennedy leaving the room to leak to professor and was named professor of leaking. >> we're coming to owned the hour, if you have a last thought that you want to put on the table about the book and then i'll ask tevi to close out with a final summation of whatever else has not been said. >> what i like about he book in particular is that it is fills the void in presidential history. we often think of infighting in the cop text of just scandal after scandal, and we read these books looking for some information about a particular person that we didn't know. but that's not what tevi did.

president george h.w. bush took your advice in 1992. he talked about how he was disappointed that the cops who beat rodney king had been acquitted and on and on. president trump has been emphasizing law and order. do you think that he is talking enough about reconciliation and empathy and what the people in the streets are calling for in his message in any way? >> no, he is not in any way that i recognize. he always is shooting toward the base. i remember the bus conversation very, very vividly because we had to bring law and order back into the streets and worked with the state of california in los angeles, the riots, and president called me and said we may have to do something. i said, mr. president, go to the governor. the governor has the national guard an enif they can't do it, then you come back with me with a decision and we'll send in federal troops and we did and we brought things under control rather quickly but the president followed the law, the constitution, worked with the community and we brought stability finally. it was

he says eisenhower, lbj, jfk, george h.w. bushthe troops when there was a lot of unrest. your reaction to the "times" here? >> well, it's "the new york times," right? what they don't want folks to know about is the truth in terms of what cotton was writing about. we need law and order in our nation. we have way too much going on with the looting and rioting. they are attacking our police officers. so the president has offered to provide federal assistance in terms of getting things under control in these cities, and if that is what it takes, that is the route we have to go but i'm not surprised that "the new york times" would say, this was a mistake, we didn't mean to publish it. that is what it sounds like. elizabeth: deneen, let's switch gears. for months politicians demanded that covid-19 lockdowns and stay in place orders enforced by the police. now politicians say defund the police as looters ignore curfews and lockdowns to torch businesses where working families need paychecks to survive. we've got cnn, basically saying, you

that is the worst showing since george h.w. bush was president. keep in mind bush lost to challenger bill clinton. president trump has latest seen the latest polling because he tweeted "the fake news and phony fake suppression polls have never been worse. the lame stream media has gone crazy." not just "new york times," recently a fox poll showed the president well behind biden. he said he doubted that one as well. do you remember marcus, in 2016 before the election of that 2016, donald trump was way behind in the polls. it was assumed he was going to lose. and as we all know, he won. >> a lot of people are saying what happened. that's why a lot of people are fearful of those polls right now. thanks, scott. >>> new at 11:00 for you, victims of jeffrey epstein could receive compensation. this is from a new program in the works. the epstein victims compensation program starts today. sexual abuse claims against the billionaire and his estate. organizers say that program provides victims the opportunity to be heard. this is outside of the courtroom, a

riots occurred president then president george h.w. bush delivered an awful an oval office address to the nation a trump is not known for his empathy but do you think he should deliver an oval office address to the nation. you know i wouldn't trust that if he delivered an oval office address that it would be one with empathy and compassion one that understood. why people are still so angry and hurt. with what's happened in minneapolis and that and in cities across the country let's be clear it happens again and again and again and it's happened you know for a very very long time now we have cell phones and people can take pictures and videos we didn't have that before but we know it happened you know i grew up on the east side of los angeles and i can tell you as a young boy we were often is terrified of law enforcement as we were of the gangs now a lot has changed and the vast majority of our law enforcement officers understand nobody is above the law not a politician not a priest or a police officer and i think what we all have to say com

whole different ball game and we've seen it before we saw it happen in the early ninety's when george h.w. bush was president he did activate beyond the national guard the us army went into los angeles when those riots were taking place bush didn't win reelection shortly after that was it related to the riots came up in the election but we don't know if it played enough of that actor so there's so many variables it's going to be an intern i want to think about what you just said the criticism of bush in those riots was he wasn't heavy handed in any way to to he waited too long he was a wimp that was the whole image was the wimp ok the difference here is the public loses respect for leaders that don't take action let me give you the dichotomy of that martin luther king incredible leader who understood that nonviolent protest works why was he so popular why was he so successful because the american public even mom and pop in middle america respected the fact that martin luther king was a saying we don't blow up buildings we don't burn down buildings we don't shoot policemen in the back of the hea

president george h.w. bush accused panamanian leader general manual. of drug trafficking money laundering and election reagan. noriega surrendered and spent the rest of his life in custody in the u.s. france and eventually back home in panama under house arrest. panama's government says at least $500.00 panamanians were killed during the invasion but human rights groups say the true total is in the thousands prompting the previous government to establish a commission to investigate. it's necessary for the current government to continue financing the investigation for at least another year and to not use the pandemic as an excuse not to that would be a big mistake and a repeat of what our government has been doing for 30 years a deliberate attempt to hide the real figures of how many people actually died and who they are we need to know the true effect of a deed as dramatic as this invasion. the legacy of the 6 week invasion is still felt today with the panamanians calling on the government to declare the invasion day on december the 20th as a national

york times ran a poll that said then governor michael dukakis was beating then vice president george h.w. bushthe race was over. michael dukakis is the next president of the united states. we can't take any solace in these polls. donald trump shocked the political pundits, and what we call geniuses. we knew donald trump was going to win four years ago. we heard the last 10 years the state of texas was a battleground state. the last time 25 years ago, under that scenario massachusetts has a more likelihood of voting for donald trump than texas does voting for a democrat. judge jeanine: but even senator ted cruz needed some help before the last election. last saturday night, i'm disturbed about tulsa. we were told that a million people were going to be attending, and clearly that was not the case. my question is a blunt one. should the trump campaign have seen signs that they were being bombarded by requests from people who had no intention of attending the rally? should they have seen a deviation in numbers, especially in this covid climate. how did the campaign allow that to happen? it's not f

was with george h.w. bushhen he was behind by 19 points, that was in may, beat by eight points in november which meant one out of every four americans switch their vote in that period. so i think one or two things is going to happen. trump makes a reasonable economic recovery, not back to where we were, but moving in that direction, and if he draws a clear contrast not just with biden but with pelosi, schumer, and biden as a machine, that is much scarier at that point, i don't think it will be close. i think we will win by a huge margin. >> i am going to cling to your help because it is nothing but the future of our whole republic at stake, nothing serious. congratulations on the book. >> thank you. >> jason: more of the spepepepee guys, are you tired of frequent nighttime bathroom trips? well, force factor prostate helps reduce urges to urinate, plus fully empty your bladder and promote a normal prostate size. don't settle. choose force factor prostate, from the #1 fastest-growing men's health brand at walmar
