george herbert walker bush is the generation that. i think was. the last person and move to a challenger and doesn't rip them apart. and george herbert walker bush and was very gracious person in the 1st place 'd that gracious and. and what i would advise the president is you didn't want some george herbert walker bush hates from back in 9092 in the in the last. the 1st year it's always really just about. one of. them isn't person or securing our schools all your brain it's all together. because of that i made sure i was kind of special about inauguration day go ahead paul. i'm sure that democrats love the fact that a whole lot of republicans got very very good gracious concession speeches and i think mitt romney's best day in the entire 2012 campaign was the day that he that he admitted the fact that he blew the race against a barack obama you know republicans republicans tired of being gracious losers and i believe and i think that's reason to believe that there's a whole lot of shenanigans that went on in this election in until such time as we d

who do interesting and weird stuff and a similar line in the book and acknowledge that george herbert walker bushe is a quiet man and here's the quiet voices of the country, maybe i'm a bit of a strange man and i can hear strange voices of the country and that's okay because at times it's beyond the we are the interesting among us who can do exceptional things and i think we can celebrate that and be a little personal we all have something to contribute to america's destiny. >> well put. . back to katie hill for a moment, you focused to some extent on her in the book. i was interested in that story because she was our congresswoman. she representative Ãbwhere the ronald reagan library as. she seemed to me to be like a talented and tough operator. i wonder if in your mind she's not the kind in my mind to have just folded up her tent when things got tough. did she have to hit the road because the democrat and leadership and speaker pelosi were concerned or do you think she really came to that conclusion that it was best as an individual to head home?>> yes, her husband releases private photos they

in terms of the allergy, the only one that comes to mind is president george herbert walker bush after he had sushi or whatever in japan. this leads to another question. people often ask me, is there a presidential taste tester, tester, yes, there is. it tends to be the opposition leader in congress. [ laughter ] [ applause ] no. it's actually the white house chef. the white house chef is the taste tester. they're the last ones to taste close before the president. >> thank you. i've enjoyed your discussion. my question is can you give us an insight to our present president? >> trump? >> does he have any likes? >> i know he doesn't drink. >> we don't get a lot of information about what president trump likes. so what i've seen in the press so far is that he does love meat loaf and he does love a well-done steak with ketchup. i'm just telling you what i saw in the news and the chronicles about fast food. it is unfair. when you're on the campaign trail, that's what you're getting a lot of times. i do know he loves meat loaf and other than that we don't get a lot of information about the tr

after all, he was the son of a father who mapped coalition and george herbert walker bush had been ambassadorand had deep footprint in international affairs. gege w. bush had a procedural understanding of desirable of -- desirability and a rumsfeld would say, the mission determines the coalition and the coalition doe not determine the mission. wewe are not in other words have people around wit us. we are going to lead and if people d't follow us, they don't follow us. but that's t way it is. >> i want to move forward toward to what wasor me a kind of climax and thatad to do with secretary powell's speech before the un but going back before then, i believe in december 2002 the white house asked the cia to start making case against iraq and as intelligence gatheng is that you get the information no matter where it leads you, not the other way around. why was the cia willing to play alon with this approach in the first place? >>t's a really interesting question, david, and i suppose th come act answer to that is twofold. first the directorf the cia george tenant was convinced that a war was inev

nobody thought george herbert walker bush was going to run again.play this out for a long time and is addicted to attention. so, one of the issues that president biden will have to deal with that none of his predecessors have had to deal with is a predecessor devoted actively to undermining the unfolding actions of governance. >> can i -- >> still in a pandemic. >> can i jump in there? because i think you're right. but don't we see an indication or an example now of how biden and the -- and harris, the president and the -- the president-elect and the vice president-elect, how they're going to react to it because basically they've kept moving and ignored it and it seems to be working for them, no? >> i don't think there's any other strategy. i haven't talked to either of them about it. but you -- i -- that makes sense to me. you move -- you set out as you wish to carry on in the old expression. >> because if they respond to it, they give him -- they elevate it, right? they give him oxygen. and if they don't, he is muted because they have the biggest

and he -- to me, the marvelous thing about truman, like lincoln, and i would argue george herbert walker bush, among others, is they were the right person for the moment. some of that is retrospective, of course, because we have to tell it, but one of the instincts in human nature is to tell ourselves a coherent story. but the other thing that gives, i think, confidence to presidents is the journey of harry truman. and i've talked to more than a few of them who understand that the 22% in real time may be the price to be paid for the monuments of the future. and not that they're playing for monuments but they are human beings. everybody wants to be harry truman now. nobody wanted to be harry truman in 1952 and '53. and i remember going through this with the conversations with george h.w. bush. remember, he got 39% of the country to vote to rehire him in 1992. and yet, as the years went by, the decisions he made for the good of the country that were not for his own political gain have come to be seen as the right ones. so when he died, he died much more esteemed figure. what's the lesson betwee

because it's a wild -- i mean, at one point, george herbert walker bush shows up. this is like a netflix series, all in a book. but i mean, the fact that you have this crook operating a bribery scheme that dated back to when he is governor of maryland. a state you -- people don't realize how corrupt maryland politics is and has been but it was supercorrupt. well, i should say has been. but, talk about the fact that you have this happening, kind of, simultaneous with watergate but they're not connected. >> exactly. and that is part of what i think was sort of forgotten in the history of agnew. people, if they remember him at all, they think it must have been a watergate-adjacent thing, right? there are a lot of people who got charged in watergate-adjacent things. all the people involved in the crime and his attorney general went to jail. you remember, you assume that it must have been that way for agnew, too. no. totally separate, original scandal, taking bags of cash as kickbacks for government contracts. and he started doing it as baltimore county executive and he

and the cover-up general is what they used to call wibble because he advised george herbert walker bushnterrupted those iran-contra proceedings. the second question would be, let's say that donald trump tried to pardon himself, how would that be refuted? is that a case where -- who would be the party that would object to that and how would that objection play out and potentially wind up in the supreme court? >> it would play out this way. let's say that the southern district of new york indicted individual number one, who is known to be the president of the united states, in a campaign fraud scheme that the southern district has already charged individual one coordinated and directed, the same one that michael cohen went to jail for. the lawyers for president trump would argue that the case should be dismissed because the president pardoned himself. the prosecutors would obviously contest that. and if the president were convicted, there would be an appeal on that basis or maybe an effort to even thwart the prosecution, and it would make its way up through the courts and ultimately the s
