the old you know about how only to exchange views oh oh when they were george herbert walker bush we had a huge sulfur dioxide problem acid rain back in the eighty's already it was a wipe out you know it was cutting up cars it was tearing down buildings it was doing all kinds of horrible things and so george herbert walker bush said we can solve this with the marketplace will do cap and trade and it worked it would about you know if they would put it in years what about the scrubbers the free markets came up with. what was there was a cap and trade the free might have been reset was to cap and trade for what you really see these polls everybody says yeah i believe in may make you know climate change or or whatever but when it comes time to spend their own money they still want oil cars they're not spending money on solar panels they're personalize it but then here's the course it's not why well is that every issue personalize this you know i mean all these guys say we have societal and everybody. wants to say yes this is what i believe in the government should do this but when it com

you say in your column that he was a genuine, george herbert walker bush, george bush consigliere for lot of years. >> i think when you look at his curriculum vitae, the facts would tend to indicate that he was involved in intelligence 80's, thatin the served the purposes of a republican administration. time inback a second 2006 when george w. bush was facing only two more years of his second term and wanted to sort of salvage iraq for his reputation and to get out in a kind of way that didn't look disastrous. congress.deal with it had flipped and become democratic. man, ass was just the rumsfeld was certainly not the man. republican today in your opinion? what is a democrat? ani think, gates, he is ideological operative of the permanent regime that exists whether you are a democrat or a republican in the oval office. pose as experts on national security or for that matter, like larry summers and some others, they pose as nonpartisan experts on economics and fiscal policy. they are all deeply ideological. they believe in military force abroad. they believe in the washington neoliberal

but i think george herbert walker bush in many ways embodies what we are talking about.eeply competitive. his mother expected them to climb all of the trees in the yard and grow in greenwich, and that was the expectation. >> you could not not do it. >> you could not not do it, so he was driven at once by this ambition to do well, but then not to talk about it and get not to talk about himself, so he had this somewhat dissonant tradition banging around in his head, which was to be number one, but when you get to be number one, don't tell anyone you are number one. talk about the other guy, and i would argue that his charisma in many ways, which is often not a word we associate with george h w bush, he became president one thank you note at a time, one personal connection at a time, over that long. people. he only won three elections, two house races in houston, texas, and president of the united states. >> but he had 1000 friends read >> just endless, and that was his days. the bush base was personal. >> there is no particular training to be president. we saw president ob

george bush at 291 in his eight years in thehouse. bill clinton had 364 in four years in the white house. george herbert walker bush had 166. ronald reagan had 381 during his eight years, and jimmy carter had 320 in his four years in office. >> he appears to be -- obama appears to be on track to be issuing the average number of executive orders. but the numbers don't tell everything. if executive orders are issued well within the authority and scope of the executive power, there's nothing wrong with them. if you have far fewer orders issued, but they're beyond the scope of power, then that's a concern. perhaps it would be useful to put this in a larger context. and if i have a minute, i'd be glad to do that. we all learned in high school civics of the three branches of government, the congress writes the laws, and congress's powers are renewsroom rate and limited, there are only certain areas in which they're authorized to legislate. the other powers are not remune rated, so it leaves open the question, waste the scope of the judicial power or executive power? traditionally we have in this country allowed the president to h

probably got that from george herbert walker bush and barbara of the water first lady, laura. been mum about entire generation. it's a wonderful thing. gratitude is the last thing i want to talk about. status inferred rtc to be grateful to. we had to take a moment. i've been mentioning tonight that david eisenhower present nixon gave me jobs. president nixon helped me a lot. tech was argued in a jab at department of justice after coming out of university of michigan law school. connie horner in the chain and put me back in the d.c. days and then i came out here. as i mentioned, as singer jefferson can be geniuses behind failed communications and patterson has been my big promoter in these hundreds and hundreds of people. make a list tonight or tomorrow. instead of the people you have a genuine grievance with, make a list of everyone you want to have said thank you notes to and then perhaps going about doing that. doing that will empower you about anything bad happening down the road. for every injury to see you come hundreds of people have been generous. i finished the happies

you had a tremendous economic boom that didn't slow down until george herbert walker bush broke his pledge -- not to me, sir, but to the american people. you can read it at atr.org. the pledge is to the american people. i know that obama and harry reid sometimes misunderstand that. they may not have read it very clearly, but it's a pledge to the american people that they won't raise their taxes. no net tax increase. so we took marginal tax rates down when bush 41, the first bush, raised those rates. we had a stalled economy. when we took the capital gains tax when the republicans took the house and senate, we started seeing a real takeoff in the economy in the late 't-- '90s. so lower marginal tax rates create jobs. >> host: your organization was connected with the unions. >> guest: in volkswagen, the german car company, has a manufacturing plant, about 1500 workers in chattanooga. and the united autoworkers fresh off of making detroit work over the last 30 years and dropping the number of united autoworkers from about two-thirds from where it used to be by being a rather aggressive labor
