george hw bush is the new one. the former president allowed meechan exclusive access to his material. >> the reason he cooperated with this, the reason he gave me his diaries and mrs bush gave me his diaries, is they do want the record to be clear. he wasn't attacking his son. he thought his son used rhetoric that was too hot, but-- >>> that's a criticism of his son >> yes >>> of another president of the united sthats and his son, right >> it is. it is striking that he articulated it, but i think he had reached a point where me wanted to make the point for history that diplomacy in force are not competitive but complementary. i think that's what it was >>> the striking thing about this book, which there are so many, but the striking thing to me is that the father and son never had this discussion . >> no. i think you and i have, but this is the odd intersection of two forces. one is the senior about bush's reflectionive deference to the presidency. whoever was president, bush thought the duty of a citizen was to do

they were, you know, supporters of okay republican establishment what bothered me too was george hw bush during the primary season took ronald reagan writing and before he pretty much quit and ronald reagan was beating him decisively in that bothers me a lot. of people don't talk about that. secondly, here's the key question i want to ask, bill o'reilly, i call him a highly intelligent hedge fund or. i will tell you why. because his book, okay, about killing reagan, he really doesn't really emphasize his greatness as presidents when confronting the soviet union and actually defeating them by going on on offense of posture, the only ministration to do that because he really is a fan and he tried to hide this but-- >> guest: as far as george bush, he is referred to the 1998 contest. reagan, we don't live in a system of where you inherent the presidency. you have two complete-- compete port and george bush thought he had every right to compete for the nomination and i'm sure reagan would have agreed. he fought tenaciously for it, but i think it speaks well, both to ronald reagan and george

president george hw bush, who only served one term had fewer executive orders. this isn't the first time president obama has faced charges of executive over reach. in november his order was blocked to shield millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation. executive orders can be controversial, but they can also change history. the most famous is the proclamation issued during the civil war. president obama isn't the only one to be heavily criticized for flecking his executive muscle while in office. franklin roosevelt issued more than any other, 3721. he was in office for three terms. he was forced to defend himself against his krit particulars. - critics. >> the responsibilities of the president in war time to protect the nation are especially grave. i cannot tell what powers may have to be exercised in order to win this war >>> one of his most famous was detaining japanese americans in internment camps during world war ii. less controversial were his orders that created a slew of federaling agencies and the national park systems which are still with us t

but iowa correctly picked george w bush in 2000 bob dole in 1996 and george hw bush in 1992. among democrats, iowa voters did pick eventual nominees barack obama in 2008, john kerry in 2004 and al gore in 2000. but they picked tom harkin in 1992 and missed bill clinton. the fallout from last night's trump-less debate seems to favor...donald trump. as nbc's steve handelsman explains, ted cruz is trying to recover from some bad reviews. 06-09 10-12 57-1:00 1:08-10 nats trump so we have to get out we're gotta win. we're gonna win!! donald trump campaigned in iowa where he's tied in the polls with ted cruz sot: donald trump :08-:11 "im going to be here so much over the next two weeks you are going to be sick digit national lead in the nbc news wall street journal poll. and figures he's got the nomination if he wins the lead off contest sot: donald trump :21-:25 "the fact is i think we can really come in first in iowa and then its off to the races" cruz campaigned in south carolina sot: ted cruz :27-:32 "a lot of peopled are waking up they are rising up and were gonna turn this co

one of the things that cheney and george hw bush worked hard on doing was ensuring the military officers they would have their men in the field and have the support they needed from the civilian leadership. >> host: what about the personal side of things with his family? some politicians go through their entire career and keep themselves, they keep them families at a distance. i think that's true for somebody like paul ryan. a lot of people don't know that his wife is janet and their kids , but liz and mary were very active not only on the campaigns but also in the administration. i admired how close he was to his daughters. does he talk about that in his interview? >> caller: there are only three people that dick cheney is close with and they're all named cheney. liz cheney, as you you know served in the bush cheney administration and the state department in a very important role. she has been a co-author on two of his books i think he derives comfort from having his family around him. i think it is a source that occasionally differences of of opinions between his daughters seep out int

that was what led to george hw bush his resignation letter to the nra.s was a moment during kind of a lot of malish shah hysteria that happened in the mid-90s. >> yeah, so i think the president, you know, is right to kind of giggle at this phony invitation. the nra can act like any other, you know, interest group in this country and participate in the appropriate forums, and to demand that they will only do so if the president debates wayne la pierre, you know, is a little ridiculous. >> so you've just given the argument, which i think is generally a persuasive one, about why the president of the united states would not potentially stoop to the level of the nra to, you know, respond to this somewhat preposterous video. let me say as someone who is looking into a camera right now, you know, there's nothing less tough than looking into a camera and reading something, particularly when it's not live. so this idea that, like, you are showing how tough you are by reading into a camera, like, give me a break. that said, i actually think that would be amazing f
