then in the george w. bush administration they elevated that to the point of having a deputy assistant to the president who did both national security, so so this helps to integrate at the staff level. it doesn't fully solve the problem but it's a useful step and mike played this role strongly in the first obama administration. >> i chime in? i think as an important point that was made in ensuring the economic agencies are right at the center of white house deliberations a form policy and especially in an era of geoeconomics when around the world china, russia, the gulf states, others using economics for geopolitical purposes. but i would add that most secretaries of the treasury are not enthusiastic about involving their issues and an interagency process. and therefore they don't come to those meetings unless their collects become interested in treasury issues. my experience with the white house is that it was hard to the secretary of the treasury to the white house for issues for the reasons i said. >> just t

we know eight years ago george w. bushand george w. bush wrote about that moment and said it wasn't lost on him that there were also meetings in the situation room at that moment about potential threats to the inauguration. he said even as they talked they knew about the weight of the office. michelle obama brought a gift for laura bush, an engraved pen with a date and journal. this is a very rich tradition when you hand the white house over to the next family that will make it their home. >> and we're joined by nina mcbride, michael smith helped president obama move in as his designer and you guys were on opposite sides years ago. anita take us through the final 24 hours through the bush perspective. >> so interesting to be talking today about this, this was my last interview from the white house in 2009 talking about this coffee and this tradition. you know, it's an emotional time of course, the last 24 hours, you're getting the last of your things packed up and having this emotional departure and goodbye with the reside

>> george w. bushresided over 9/11. >> not only that -- >> you've got somebody with deep connections to a hostile foreign power in the white house. >> and i want to get david back in. i love david frumm because we can have this argument because george w. bush did in fact preside over 9/11, which is the most devastating terrorist attack in our soil in american history, but you do have people who come from the bush administration trying to say that barack obama, who did not have a 9/11 on his watch, is somehow weaker than george w. bush. where do you come down on this? >> well, he did get bin laden. i think that the major problem in the world right now is syria. and i think that's a mess for the whole world and not just barack obama's problem. again, some of these debates are counterfactual. you don't know how much worse it would have been had he done something else. so david frumm can logically make these arguments, but he doesn't know what it would be like otherwise. we do know what it was like under g

at least seven in ten americans say they were confident in presidents obama, george w. bush and bill clinton in these areas, just before they took office. >>> across the united states, massive lines and short tempers flared, air travel wrers struck for four hours after widespread customs outage hit several of the nation's busiest airports.

[ applause ] >> thank you. fellow citizens, for eight years it has been my honor to serve as your president. the first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence, a time set apart. tonight, with a thankful heart, i have asked for a final opportunity to share some thoughts on the journey that we have traveled together and the future of our nation. five days from now, the world will witness the vitality of american democracy. in a tradition dating back to our founding the presidency will pass to a successor chosen by you, the american people. standing on the steps of the capitol will be a man whose history reflects the enduring promise of our land. this is a moment of hope and pride for our whole nation, and i join all americans in offering best wishes to president-elect obama, his wife michelle and their two

president obama was there, of course, along with presidents carter, clinton, and george w. bush. george h.w. bush's health prevented him from attending. he watched from a houston hospital. we send him and barbara bush our best this morning. as the raindrops began to fall, president bush reached for a poncho. just couldn't get that sucker to go on right. after a brief battle, he settled for just resting it on his head. that supporting role goes to his vice president, dick cheney, watching over bush's shoulder with complete bemusement. some people on line said poncho, 1, george bush, 0. >>> energy secretary al franken and rick perry during perry's confirmation hearing this week. >> governor, thank you so much for coming into my office. did you enjoy meeting me? >> i hope you're as much fun on that dias as you were on your couch. may i rephrase that, sir? >> please. please. please. oh, my lord. ove oh, my lord. >> well, i think we found our "saturday night live" sound bite. >> you know, perry always rolls well with his gaffes. >> it's hilarious. it starts out with, did you enjoy meet

also, former president george w. bush and laura bush. now, his father, former president george h.w.go and recently hospitalized. there's other big names. the supreme court justices. also, the congressional leaders. and more 60 democratic members of the house said they're going to boycott this event. there's big names performing, as well. 16-year-old jackie evancho. there's a lot of excitement and anticipation. once all of this wraps up, president trump is going to leave with his family. he's going to hit the parade route to the white house. all eyes will be watching that closely. will he get out and walk when he passes his hotel. that's something they will be watching for. it's a tradition that dates back to the first president, george washington. there's a first this year. this is the first time that charlie brotman will not voice the parade. an early trump supporter is going to broadcast the parade. matt, back to you. >> thank you very much. will either president trump or the first lady go over and see al roker along the parade route. >> joe biden did. >> that's a bit of tradition

we have breaking news as we speak to andy car the former chief of chaf for george w. bush. s father, bush 41, president george h.w. bush is going to be discharged from icu in a couple of days so he will end up in a different section of the hospital in a couple of days and he is in stable condition. his wife barbara bush also thousand percent better. good news for those who have been praying for the president and his wife. we are hearing now sirens in downtown washington. i on the would be surprised if that was the motorcade and the security detail flchlt andy i know you don't know what is in the speech tomorrow. but you know what it's like to go through a transition. at what moment do you think donald trump might have that moment where he looks around and goes oh, man this is really happening? >> there will be two. one is very private. and that's when he gets the briefing on the codes to the military weapons that america has. >> when does that happen timing wise? >> it either happens tonight or early tomorrow morning. >> okay. >> and it is a sobering experience to go through

. >> there's no question, george w. bush gave dick cheney a broad portfolio, he probably i expanded it beyond what he was specifically given by george w. bush. pence is the anti-trump. he's trusted on capitol hill. you don't get into this stage of politics without having a pretty healthy ego, but he has unassuming presence and air about him, the midwestern approach to him, very well respected on capitol hill. the democrats like him too. we won't know until 100 days in or more whether, you know, what his actual influence with the president is. but at the moment, feagain, it' an incredibly important role. i talked to a republican senator last night who said of mike pence, he's one of us. he's a true conservative. donald trump is donald trump. i don't think it was meant as critically as it sounds when you stay, but a lot of people on capitol hill don't know trump. will he listen to democrats? will he go back to some of his prior democratic tendencies? or will he be one of them, but they do trust pence. >> one thing i was going

at this point in 2001, this was when george w. bush and george h.w. bush first walked into the oval office together and the son was the president and he was in there. so that was between the inauguration and the parade viewing. so it's the first chance they get to check out their new bigs. >> and he gets the busts that he wants, and the portraits that he wants. >> he can put down any rug that he wants. >> will he keep the resolute desk? most presidents sticking with it. >> most have. and he said he will hang the letter from richard nixon saying that in the late 1980s, mrs. nixon predicting that donald trump would have a successful political career. >> and churchill is back, pretty quickly, the bust of churchill will be back. >> peter, what are you seeing from there? >> reporter: lester, we're looking right down at the president's vehicle right now, it's almost in front of the viewing stand, over the course of the last 30, 45 minutes, we have seen a lot of members of his cabinet arriving, as the doors open, the secret service surround the beast one more

doug, as far as the bushes go, obviously george w. bush former president. brother got soundly defeated by donald trump. >> there's no love lost for the bush family and donald trump. they don't really like him. reality is reality. i've been amazed george w. bush is nowhere to be seen or heard from. he's there in dallas running his presidential library. eyes aren't going to be looking at him and laura very much or bill and hillary clinton. as you said at the beginning, it was a brutal campaign. there is going to be hillary clinton having to absorb the fact she lost to this guy and i think if there are big ratings for the inauguration a lot of people will be looking at the body language like we do at state of the union addresses or how bill and hillary clinton are interacting with the trumps. >> and where they'll be seated. >> john mentioned they didn't always come. grant wouldn't ride in a carriage with andrew johnson so johnson just sulked in the white house and wouldn't come to the event. you can go through a lot of these elections where john meech cham what

. >>> still to come george h. w. bush and barbara are still in a texas hospital. how his son george w. bush is using social media to update their condition. >>> for more than a century cnh sugar has been a fixture but now the plant is don't have to do it with a lot less. >>> the raiders have now applied to move to las vegas. sports director mark ibanez will be here to talk about what this means. >>> oakland raiders head coach jack del rio has been named coach of the year. he led the raiders to a 12-4 regular season. they also made their first appearance in the playoffs since 2002. the honor comes just one day after outside linebacker khalil mack was named defensive player of the year by the pro football writers of america. as all of these postseason awards are being announced, the team is looking to move. the nfl announced the raiders submitted an application to relocate to las vegas. the stadium committee will spend the next few weeks reviewing the application before voting. let's bring in sports director mark ibanez to talk more about this and to kind of delve in

i think paul mentioned briefly george w. bush. when you talk to folks who were involved in george w. bush's first term, coming into office with more people having voted for somebody else, they talk about how politically perilous that was and how important it was to do these kind of ostentatious and in many cases substantive displays of bipartisan, working with ted kennedy and no child left behind in that first year, it was important for him to convince americans not that he was a legitimate president because people by and large accepted that but that he was able to represent everybody, right. when you look at the polling for trump, it is why what lewis is saying is dangerous for trump as well, that he comes in on weaker footing than any president he's had in modern times. that's why plenty of democrats would prefer that john lewis not go out there and say this because for a lot of sort of more cautious people in the party, they think the circumstances speak for themselves. >> i understand maggie's point about attacking schumer on t

with reagan and george w. bush. with george h.w.ush, we see often the relationships are a little rocky and bond and become clear as reagan saw how important israel was in defending the west and defending democratic values and defending america. what we see with george h.w. bush is that he is most famous for the fight with israel over loan guarantees. we forget that in 1991, george h.w. bush had his chief diplomats working the phones to rescind the racism resolution. we then see bill clinton working so hard to match the high standards set by jimmy carter. indulge me, one important anecdote. oslo process, that's why it's called the oslo peace process. clinton goes in and embraces and tries to get -- remember that famous picture shaking hands. it was the magic of the 90's. it was the magical time when the soviet union is falling apart and germany once divided and now is united. there is peace now breaking out in northern island. there is peace breaking out in south africa. it seems like we have a shot at peace. the clinton is very clea

george w. bush sort of went off into the sunset and we didn't really -- >> george w. bush said that president obama deserves his silence. >> yeah. and i think a lot of people, at least obama supporters and perhaps obama himself really appreciated that. so the difference is i think president obama is looking ahead and expecting there will be some things he'll need to speak out about, things he cares deeply about, and there is a real divide between him and donald trump. so it's interesting now he's still very much in president mode because he is president and saying we're going to be okay. it will be interesting to see what he says when he's not president. is he still going to be as positive? >> it's interesting. george w. bush could have said when president obama became president, well, when the core values of the second amendment are threatened i'm going to speak up. and yet he didn't. he said he deserved silence. why doesn't donald trump deserve president obama's silence? >> it's very simple. becau

george w bush near the top usually. le. good to see you, peter. for the first time, researchers have filmed chimpanzees making and using tools, to get access to water. the study of a critically endangered population of the primates in the ivory coast, discovered they use tree branches to collect the water, as victoria gill explains. after being hidden in the forest of the ivory coast for a month, this remote camera captured something surprising. a mother and baby making and using tools to reach a vital water supply hidden deep within the trees. it's a new insight into the remarkable behaviour of our closest primate cousins. if you think they've got 90—95% saying dna as humans, they are very intelligent animals. we've seen it working at chester zoo, working with these animals, just the kind of things they can do. different cultures of chimpanzees have learned different tool use. so it's certainly not new to find chimpanzees using tools. this footage, captured in nigeria, shows another population of chimps using sticks to

i also have this george w. bush library jacket, i love to wear it, and i sought shepard smithin in the elevator a year ago and he said wow, you love him. i do and i love to wear it around. i think people do a double take once in a while. there are more republicans and conservatives in big cities than you think. they are just quite about it. >> speech speaking of which, george w. bush has a new book out. >> i'm so excited. >> he has undertaken a project over the past couple of years where he is finishing painting a portrait of 98 wounded warriors who served under his command. it's a a very emotional and moving tribute to these men and women and a very personal way, it has not been done in the history of the world. that book will come out in february and i hope that book tv has a chance to talk to them. >> i hope so as well. linda, go ahead with your question or comment. >> caller: hi dana, i'm a gung ho dog lover and i never miss your show. congratulations. you are just real big and everybody's eyes, including mine.

if you compare and contrast rather with george w. bush. 189 pardons, 11 commutations. bill clinton, 396 pardons, 61 commutations. he clearly has exponentially more commutations and what does the white house say about that? are they wearing that as a badge or are they walking away from those questions? >> i don't think there's any question. they are wearing this is a badge of honor. i should add to the numbers that you shared. 504 of those were life sentences there were commuted. the president has made this part and parcel to his criminal justice reform. we are likely to hear more about that tomorrow as he holds his press conference. the white house sometime in the afternoon. >> bret: we will follow that. kevin corke live on the north lawn. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is here. what did chelsea manning, what did it mean? what kind of damage do you do, the leak? >> in 2010 the afghan war diary was leaked. incident reports outside of afghanistan. my contact inside the intelligence community say that after the documents were published the taliban and
