>> george herbert walker bush was thought to be in a recession when it turns out it wasn't a recession, he lost reelection. sometimes the numbers may be deceiving and in the election in november the economy could be different, we don't know. the economy is poised, markets are poised for a rate cut, one or 2 times before the election and that is likely to happen but we don't know when the rate cuts will occur. my own view is it will make rate cuts before the third quarter because you get into the election period and the fed does not want to look like it is helping one candidate or hurting another candidate. neil: referring to 1992, george herbert walker bush lost to bill clinton in the economy he says was coming out of this recession americans were feeling it, became too little too late. there's enough time in this particular economy for it to help. doesn't seem to be right now but that is what you are thinking could happen. >> it happened, george herbert walker bush, the feeling we are in a recession, we were not in a recession, we were getting out of it. might have been helpful to him

i work for george herbert walker bush and ronald reagan and george w.ush, they believes in alliances. this is different. i don't think the idea that we leverage support for a country under attack, the most fundamental rule of the world, you shouldn't be able to acquire territory by force, they would link it to something unrelated and the only thing i would say is each party would do the same for the other if the party could come together. joe biden's policy on the border makes no sense. i don't understand why the democrats are supporting an open uncontrolled border. massive people -- numbers of people coming here, and the republicans don't want to get to be the party that sold out ukraine. so actually by linking this, they may be doing one another a political favor even if it is for the wrong reasons. >> do you want to respond to democrat's open uncontrolled border policy. >> i don't think it is an open and uncontrolled border, but i think democrats have been trying and believing for a long time they could create a big comprehensive immigration package,

george w. bush, fleischer's boss, i did more than 10 hours of interviews with him. and for four books or three of them he agreed to talk to me. and his father, bush sr., george herbert walkerbush, who was president didn't like me, didn't talk to me. national, i'll quote the letter he sent me which is in one of my books verbatim which he said i'm not talking to you. you come from watergate, and i don't like the beltway press, and you're the best example of it, and it was a very kind of don't dare call me or any -- i mean it was you're off my list. >> a potentially valid critique i wanted to share and i'm sure you're familiar with from none other than joan diddian, a great writer known more for her other types of writing, she argued in an essay i'm sure you're familiar that if you or any writer quote-unquote only sharing what they've said. here's basically what they said and here's what someone else said, and here you go, while that may be true, she argues that style or that approach is missing something. and she says simply put, quote, woodward writes books in which measurable cerebral activity is virtually absent, end quote. >> right. but if that was the case, that would h

carter, george herbert walker bush in the '90s, and those men were facing tough economies and recessionsnt biden is not, wages are up, low unemployment, inflation is cooling, gdp is up, but polls show americans feel the economy is not well, and president biden on wednesday pushing his economy to black owned businesses. >> across the country, black wealth is up a record 60% since the pandemic. so many of you -- look, and i mean this from the bottom of my heart, we are just getting started, and so many of you took the risk to open a business and bet on yourself. >> california's lieutenant governor is calling on california to join others to block trump from the state's presidential ballot. there are more than a dozen states considering the idea in some way with some of the challenges brought by republicans. this comes, of course, after the california -- colorado, rather, colorado court did decide to block trump from the ballot ruling he led an insurrection, and under the constitution anybody that led an insurrection cannot hold office. but the supreme court won't decide if trump is guilty o

i think we got, you know, upset when george herbert walker bush called bill clinton a bully or a bozo some words like that. but this language, the issue isn't the language can inspire lone actors, can get people to do things. we saw that on january 6th. >> absolutely. you're exactly right. let's just be really clear what this is, andrea. this is race baiting. and it's race baiting for political gain. they think their way to the white house is driving up their white vote number and so he's attempting to do this and the question is is the modern republican party going to be complicit in this. and are people going to stand up and say this is unacceptable? and lindsey graham is just another one of the former critics of donald trump who just have been swept away by this movement and whatever donald trump says is now okay. and we all know this rhetoric is incendiary. his rhetoric started january 6th and the question is do any of these people, mitch mcconnell, the speaker of the house, you know, leaders like lindsey graham, is anyone going to stand up to this guy in the republican party or t

but with our president bush's father, george herbert walker bush, called dr. felt a national hero. that was now going back 30 years or so. and he is a national hero who was our champion right from the start. and. nobody can you, how shall we say, impatient? some of us were from areas that were so, so affected or so affected. the one of the things point i wanted to make in this regard is we would all kinds of events in san francisco, whether they were church, whether it was one street where the health centers and all the rest about fighting and aids. but one of the really important ones that we had there was a annual global vigil in the fight against aids, because in san, we believed that we could not conquer aids, domestic we unless we dealt with it in turn nationally. and that is what president president bush did, effectively mentioning laura bush. she spoke so beautifully in opening today. of course. but i must be about ten years ago. president had an event where he invited the heads of state of african countries and spouses, many spouses were there, and we saluted, mama bush and
