the people of texas give george w. bush a comfortable victory. >> what texans can dream, texans can live. >> while one brother runs away with the prize, the other comes up short. >> jeb ended up losing and george won against an invincible governor turned my personal expectations upside down. >> george w, the governor-elect gets a congratulations call from his father while he is celebrating in his hotel suite in austin. >> hearsay father is congratulating his oldest son, but it's clear there is conflict in his voice. >> it's not that he wasn't thrilled george got it. he was. they were very disappointed that jeb didn't because he worked so hard for so long and missed out. >> my heartaches for florida and my boy over there and i'm very proud of the one here. >> the positions had been reversed. the supposed best politician in the family, jeb, who was tagged for the presidency had ho to take a back seat to george. ♪ ♪ do you love me? ♪ ♪ i can really move ♪ ♪ do you love me? ♪ i'm in the groove ♪ now do you love me? ♪ do you

good going, brother. >> george w. as making him and jeb the first siblings to govern two states simultaneously since the rockerfellers in the 1960s. many republicans already believed that george is destined for higher office. >> got texas, bush name, money. there's so much he brings to the table so when the conversation started, he was right at the top of the list. >> i have not made the decision to run for president or not to run for president. >> george has served just one term as governor of texas. his father had been in politics for over 25 years by the time he successfully ran for president. >> george w. felt a sense of competition with his father. he was only 20 years younger than his dad and you had the feeling that he thought he could compete with his father. yeah, i can do that if he can do it. >> but the decision for george to seek the presidency is a very difficult one because he knows the toll it will take on his family. particularly his twin girls, barbara and jenna. >> we were scared about the idea of him

he was too modest. >> 12 years earlier, george w. sh's father also went to war against saddam hussein. to drives the dictator's forces out of kuwait. george h.w. bush opted not to go to baghdad. and after we left office, everywhere we'd go, every time we'd stand up to speak they'd say why didn't you guys take care of saddam hussein when you had the chance. well, we didn't because we were worried iraq might fragment into warring tribes and that's exactly what happened. >> iraq is engulfed by bloody sec arianne conflict. >> the thing we greatly underestimated was that some of the issues we were dealing with had very deep roots. that when you lifted the lid off the dictatorship, out come all these forces of destabilization. he and i were both feel in retrospect that that's the thing that was not properly and deeply understood. >> coalition troops are attacked by insurgent forces. who are rebelling what they see as an occupation. >> it was looking bad. we were losing a lot of troops. we had an insurgericy that was not coming under control

now for president george w. bush --robert gates -- annuals part of the george w. bush presidential center forum on leadership. this runs 45 minutes. ms. dobriansky: good morning, everyone, and thank you for that wonderful introduction. i have to tell you, i am really thrilled this morning to have this discussion with two leaders, patriots, who really have served our country with distinction, honor, courage of conviction, compassion, and integrity. not onlye to say that did they serve our country, but they continue to serve our country. so we have a lot of issues to go to and discuss about leadership and about foreign policy and strategy.

the george w. bush presidential center hosted this 40 minute event. >> when it comes to president bush 41, there is no greater treasure trove of story then in addition to secretary baker, which was a real treasure, the former aides to president bush. tom had a long run as president bush's aide from 2000 to 2007, which included a number of disaster relief initiatives from around the world. today he is the managing director at avenue capital. moderating tonight is the director of a leadership program here at the bush institute. she is qualified because she served as personal aide to laura bush in the white house from 2003 to 2009. please welcome our panel to the stage.

let me start with you in terms of what -- george w. bush was sending a warning to the terrorists. >> dana: she's not very good about -- jesse is the king of of what-about-isms. shoos the worst of it. >> dana: it didn't work. >> greg: here is her problem. she's too casual about something that everybody takes really seriously. let's assume that she knows that nievenl is a bad thing. i think she does. the problem is she's interested in -- more interested in what happened afterwards and what that does is by shifting the emphasis and the priority to that, it makes it seem like she cares less about nievenl, and the weird thing, i think, that i find troubling and persistent because she's made this mistake a number of times is that she finds an attachment to the never-forget element kind of tiresome. it's like when she was critiquing people about the way they say al qaida and how they overdramatize it like she was saying you place too much importance on the threat of terror because the real thing in her mind is her as a victim. you better not

george w. bu through some intense times, 9/11, hurricane katrina, the 2008 financial crash.story starting to judge how he handled those events? >> you know, it takes about a generation, at least, for us to give a president any kind of a fair assessment about his presidency, because it takes that long for passions to cool. we need to kind of get a sense of the times and look at a presidency alternates more dispassionately. i think what president bush is getting credit for now is his compassionate conservatism. i think people will see he had good values. they might not have always agreed with the decisions he made as president, but i think they appreciated his good moral judgment for the most part. it's going to take a lot longer for us to sort out the war in iraq and the financial crisis, and those very complicated and very messy times. but i think it looks pretty certain that the war in iraq will not be looked kindly upon in history. >> george w. bush, of course, left office in 2008, but he was not the last bush to run for president. his brother, jeb, ran in 2016 against don

i watched george w. a lot. >> jimmy: oh, yeah.o go see "rocky," i would talk -- >> yeah. >> jimmy: like sylvester stallone at the end of the movie. i just -- it just -- >> yeah, you'd act it out. >> jimmy: yeah. >> that's what i would do too. >> jimmy: but you get in there and you study. >> yeah, i mean, i think it's the same thing. you know, i watched brolin and ferrell do it. you know? and there was a guy that yodid hyou could do that. >> jimmy: no. that's -- this is webby material.

george w. bush. he said his mother said you cannot easily win. don't run.richards is unbeatable was the advice he ignored. george w bush started the passage into adulthood with years he did not seem to be on a very serious course when he drank too much and jeb bush, younger brother, was always the one was more serious. married first, went to work, study harder, interested in public policy so there was an expectation when both these men ran for governor in 19941 in georgia and one in texas that jeb was more likely to win but that is not what happened. george w1 and amazing victory and set them on a path to the presidency. jeb lost that year and won the first of two terms as governor of florida but it was a surprise to the bushes and to others that it was george w prevailed that night and that it was george w who made it to the white house. that is one of the things that makes barbara bush a unique figure in american history. two women who been both the wife of a president and the mother of a president. only one who survived to see her son entered the white h

so the focus on personal relationships is important, certainly george w bush and james baker understoodbe coupled with a hard—nosed business of diplomacy, which means building leverage and trusting professional diplomats and others to help carry through policies as well. without that, i think diplomacy becomes narcissism. it's not a diplomacy of institutions. let me switch from russia, which you are a russian speaker, that was one of your specialists, the other was the middle east because you're an arabic speaker, as well, and you spend a lot of time in the middle east. you were involved with different capacities right through that 9/11 period, the invasion of iraq, all the way through to barack 0bama's policymaking on syria, bringing it right forward to 2011 onwards. again, it looks like a tale of missteps, mistakes, of strategic lack of direction. you were part of it? i was. i think we got some things right, certainly going back to the madrid to the madrid peace conference just after the end of the cold war. i think the iranian nuclear agreement, which sadly we've abandoned in the las

but i could not stomach the idea of people saying george w. bush is trying to save his own political skin by making a strategic decision that would have weakened our standing in the middle east and -- remember, the iraqis had voted for a new constitution and voted for a government. and it worked. and one reason it worked is that secretary of defense gates helped make it work. and so bob came on right as the surge was announced. i remember meeting with you and crawford, and he slid over from texas a&m. he was running the mighty a&m university. and we talked about the surge. and he was committed to making sure that america did not retreat from the battlefield again. and yeah, it was the right decision and it worked. ms. dobriansky: it was a significant part of your book. pres. bush: yeah, a chapter. [laughter] ms. dobriansky: secretary gates, you implemented it. tell us. mr. gates: first of all it was not only a wise decision, it was a courageous decision. what a lot of people do not know is most of the senior military did not agree. there were

sanctions under george w.bush he refused to send spare parts to venezuela for their military venezuela then turned to russia for those spare parts under the obama administration obama declared venezuela a threat to national security and many corporations started pulling out of venezuela and the trump administration has imposed punishing economic sanctions making it much harder to buy food and medicine and medicine there have been documented over forty thousand deaths as a result of trump sanctions from twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen and since january of this year or oil production fell by thirty six percent and will continue to fall if it keeps going at this rate so yes there is there are problems within venezuela but what the u.s. government is doing with the saying sions and with the threats of military force are exacerbating the situation killing tens of thousands of people and making the situation much much worse well battle lines are being drawn russia sent one hundred troops to venezuela a national

but george h. w. bush, i had the honor and the pleasure to encounter him a few times. i used to teach at texas a&m at the george bush school of public service. and so i got to meet him, he would come to my classes and he always struck me as one of the most decent individuals to occupy the white house. and the most, i had no idea that he had this sense of humor and this capacity for humor. but it was not long after he left the white house and about the time his presidential library was opening and school was opening at texas a&m. he gave a closed-door address to students at texas, closed- door in the sense that the press was not allowed. and one of the things that presidents often have a hard time with and george h. w. bush really had this problem, when the press was around he sort of had to act presidential. and so he often came across as kind of wooden. lyndon johnson had the same problem. but he knew there were no reporters in the room, there were no cameras. he could sort of let himself go. and he did an imitation of dana carvey imitating himself. and i have to tell

i'm thinking about george w. bush in 1999. we all knew he would run for president.preparing to run for president. the announcement, he spent the month ahead of that former announcement bringing experts to the ranch, giving policy beaches and think tanks laying out markers for agenda for the campaign. what has joe biden done? he's issued this video and speculated in "the new york times" maybe he will pick stacy abrams to be the vice president, which she then rejects and says i'm not running for number two and worried he won't be able to raise enough money to compete with bernie and beto and apparently the mayor of south bend, indiana, money pony how and democratic. and a waste of his time in the run-up to an announcement in series policy work to do if he actually does get into this race. >> bret: jeff -- go ahead. >> jeff: disrespectful george w. bush governor at the time, vice president as the united states, for eight years. in terms of policy -- >> bret: joe biden's policy? >> jeff: is he behind medicare for all or support a new tax plan? has he come out in favor o
