previously george w bush had _ is it? no. previously george w bush had a _ is it? no. bush had a couple of - bush had a couple of colonoscopies, the procedure that president biden had today, and he transferred power to his then vice president, dick cheney, and so there is a process for this. in order to transfer power you send a letter to the speaker of the house, speaker pelosi, and the most senior senator in the senate, which is senator leahy right now, and that transfers power to the vice president, so kamala harris became president for, as you said, 85 minutes today. and then, once the procedure was done and joe biden was coherent again, another letter was sent and congress signed off on that, and he resumed his powers as president. now, there was a president. now, there was a president who did not follow these rules, and that was president trump. as we know, he was 12 not always necessarily follow protocol. allegedly, his press secretary, stephanie gresham, wrote in her book that president trump had a procedure and did not go under anaesthetic because he did not w

george h.w. bush and his son george w. bush and the artist who painted that portrait. 41 and 43 because it was the way to distinguish them. >> president clinton told me once, i think his chief of staff told me i think it was 43 who called president clinton 42 wants and president clinton, it made his day. he told his staff all my gosh, i'm pretty sure it was 43 he called him, he just called me 42, i am like a member of the family, i thought that was funny. >> so president bush was reagan's vice president for eight years and is a question about, they were adversaries and i'm not sure president bush ever thought he'd be picked for the vp so talk about how that relationship grew between the two of them. >> i should say whoever asked the question, i apologize, it predates my book and predates from when i was in president bush's inner circle, do i know the answer? i do, it's from being around 25 years, president reagan sort of chose george bush to be his vp candidate in the 11th hour at the reporting convention. it was former pre

press number one for gary, which of the president serve as a high school cheerleader george w. bushave enough to use his middle initial george w. bush. kennedy: that's right. gary is on the board -- that's right. george w. bush he got it right the recall this is for you, which of these presidents worked as aak fashion model prior to taking office? jim carter, chauvin coolidge, gerald ford ord joe biden? >> you gave me this before. i knew it then and got it right then, i'll get right now. gerald ford. kennedy: that is correct. recycling a question unless you've beency looking in our database which is possible. it was featured on the cover of cosmo april 1942. i love a man in uniform. all right. olivia, which of these wild animals once kept in the white house as a presidential pet alligator, giraffe, or a koala bear? >> honestly, i have no idea but i will have to guess a koala bear. kennedy: it happened in australia in the u.s., john quincy adams gifted to him by lafayette. good job. gary, question number two, which of these presidents fought for the british army? abraham lincoln, geo

limit the size of government, then we had to fight the culture wars. >> i george walker bush do solemnly swear -- >> by the time george wecame president, a new wave of conservative lawmakers were ready for politics as war, but once again, another bush disappointed them. >> the president of the united states! >> i remember actually sitting in the state of the union address, the first one with george w. bush, where he was talking about no child left behind and some of these kind of big government programs that mike pence and i were kind of aghast at. we felt like minutemen who had finally got to the battle and the war was over. >> that disappointment would turn to rage. during bush's failed war in iraq, and the financial crisis and the bailouts that bush supported. >> he just destroyed and discredited everything he was trying to do and left the way open for different kinds of radicals to struggle for power. >> it was, of course, race, the issue that republicans had happily exploited that would finally push the party to the edge. a black president in the white house triggered a dramatic response. >> afro liberalism coming

mark mckinnon, former adviser to george w. bush and john mccain.re's still among the cohost of the circus. apparently a unity fan as, well on showtime. good evening and welcome to you both. mark, let's start on youngkin. what percentage of youngkin's win, was a well run youngkin campaign? and what percentage was because of the entitlement of the mcauliffe campaign, the unforced errors of the mcauliffe campaign, that grants in the youngkin and his team jumped on. >> in order to win in a state that won ten points of joe biden, had to be a combination of everything, start with a great candidate. it's one of the best run campaigns that i've ever seen. super message that was hyperlocal. and also blessed by the opposition. until the remark by mcauliffe, remind me of john kerry in 2004 when he said i voted for it i voted against. that became the whole campaign. that obviously said everything the youngkin campaign wanted. he said it about himself. i was just thinking about the numbers, vicky may have the exact numbers, but i think about bush we talk about

1st lady joe biden, but you've also got former president brock, obama, michelle, bob, you've got george w bush, shonda, who code and how served a secretary of state along with laura bush and also hillary clinton for the secretary of state herself and a presidential candidate. in fact, the only former president of recent times that is not that is donald trump, a man who called in paul a described as dangerous and with whom there was little love loss. he's going to be you the joyce by 3 people. he's going to be utilized by richard armitage, who served on the colon polish deputy secretary, also madeline albright, who herself was one of his predecessors and his son michael as by mark this law say mark is achievements and his passing in october, october 18th, when he died from those complications as a result of a cobra, 1900 infection, he was vaccinated. but he was also in that high risk on the rule a category. he's suffered from a number of medical conditions for my blood cancer parkinson's disease and it was not which ended up taking his life feel. tell us a little bit more about who column. how

but the thing that really caught my attention -- mark, this is what y'all did with george w. bushwas really highlighting the american dream piece of it. this also goes back to reagan, in that you weren't demonizing latinos. you were saying, hey, i am one of you, and i want your economic security and i also want your general security. we saw that crime component as well. one of the ads that youngkin did in spanish was highlighting him as a businessman but he started out washing dishes in virginia beach. that narrative is so, so powerful, and if the gop as we go into 2020 into 2024 reverts back to that model that reagan started and then george w. bush really amplified, then there is very much a path forward for republicans. but it but the question is, once we have a national campaign, once trump becomes more of a central presence, what is going to happen? but the youngkin model i definitely think is a winner in terms of that moderate latino outreach. >> marks as a friend of mine in the politics business said just today, if the democrats either learn or remember how to talk to americ

by the time george w bush left office, and by the time obama left off, as it had skyrocketed to nearly 75 percent as the continued increase in defense spending combined with the government's response to the great recession. so who owns all of this debt? the 2 largest and these are actually right here in the united states, the social security trust fund, and the federal reserve that's public. that's the debt of the people. now beyond that, china and japan both owed more than one trillion dollars in us treasury securities, followed by the u. k. ireland luxemburg and brazil. so what is the significance of all of this debt and what would it mean at the us where you actually default? well, joining us now to the got ours, especially richard, was posted the economic update, peter ship chief economist at euro pacific capital and steve king, the economics professor, a patriot. it's great. have you all on the show today and professor wolf. i want to start with you. now when we look at the way the debt has grown, how we just come to expect that congress will continue to spend more as time goes on

george h. w. bush is a good example here, he's a man who made long term decisions, the budget deal in 1990 that helped lead the rise of gingrich, which is part of the rise of what we're dealing with now. president bush signed the american disabilities, act change things fundamentally. the wall fell in berlin, the dictatorship did not stand. it was an immensely important four-year period. but politically, in 1992, only 39% of the country wanted to rehire him. and that's an inescapable fact. what you have to decide is we if your president, and ideally want to do both if your president. is, are you working towards history, are you working towards changing things for a generation, or are you worried about a more short term political benefit. as you and i know, every president ever wants to do both. but you can't always do both. i think these polls are gonna go back up, they won't go back up dramatically, because of the polarized air we're in. but if you asked me was the most important sign that we can get

we've george w bush and and also secretary of state hillary clinton right as bill clinton could not attendhe only other. >> jimmy carter who is 97 and could not travel and and president trump is not is not as joining us this morning.

84 president joe biden is in attendance at the memorial as well as for my president obama and george w bush in 2003 pal address c u n. where he falsely accused a rock of having weapons of mass destruction. so this is for my deputy secretary of state, paying tribute here at the memorial. okay, those are the headlines. i'm emily angland states you now for democracy, maybe part of the time must always on good luck. so we are the ones grappling the extra mile where auto media don't go. we go there and we give them a chance to tell their story. ah, all the me me id and i don't know why my life when. how would i, how about how math by one cup co help me out. i got you know, what have you but i wasn't being at performing to me funny but hey, i'm i yeah, i've been by me me me and my family was golf. have a p o money when, when, when, because you were back in my family might be home and i had a long but have high ha ha ha ha i'm he, my dad got me home from home. i come back home with me and paul told fees. oh god when why i ah around noon ah ah oh a when so how do you the elk up p pin green lawn whi

those 66 days that manage miraculously to put yourself back on board if he had not done that and george w. bushever would have existed it's absolutely incredible if we can make the avatars tell their story. >> and then in the stern of the ship with that particular structure it is designed to secure the ship and this is the main deck so if you go further toward that tiny captain's cabin on the left you can just see the stick on the left that was a relatively small stick that controls the steerage of the ship and then the best cabin on the ship this is where we believe the mayflower compact it will you see the pictures of the compact before they set sail above the cabin on the poop deck i don't want to say that but to contain weapons to contain maps and hopes to feature but it is very empty at the moment it is nowhere near the space and then to put in many more piece of cargo furniture, animals. and it is tiny. but it was something for the accuracy from that visit and you can see it is just behind it may be the rope ladder i don't know that the mechanism coming down from the deck above the knee c

he came together with a republican and with president george w. bush. there was another basic bargain. if you wanted to raise money from the public, you had to provide financials that were audited. and your auditor had to be subject to inspection. nearly 20 years later, companies from over 50 jurisdictions have allowed their books and records to be looked at. for the auditors to be audited. congress last year said annette is enough. let's put a three year clock in place. we have to suspend trading. david: you are too modest to point this out. you helped crafted. gary: there were others involved as well. it was after enron and worldcom fell. congress stepped in and said they had to up their game. david: both of us are from baltimore. we did not know each other growing up. i am 10 years older than you. were you in a very wealthy family? or was it a blue-collar family? gary: neither of my parents went to college. my dad started a small business after world war ii. it was a vending business. it sent all of us to college. they help pay down the mortgage over

in comment, president george w. bush, won virginia by eight points, only for democrats tim kaine to win the gubernatorial race by five points. what was seen in the national committee comey to, -- and the disastrous handling of hurricane christina. the most visceral backlash came into thousand, i'd that's after democrats claim thousand 2008 elections including barack obama winning virginia by six points. which stunned a whole lot of observers. and then just a year later, following, year bob mcdonald went on to become governor of virginia defeating his opponent by a whopping 17 points. that's a 23 point swinging points in just one year. and to put it mildly, this was seen as very bad news for democrats. just listen to how nbc opened its nightly news broadcast the day after the election. >> good evening, a year ago, we were talking about a sea change in american politics. tonight we are reporting a small change which could also be anonymous development for the year old obama administration. republicans were elected governor

it is the game of george w. bush, obama and others don't want to finish it. amy: in september of 2016 democracy now! traveled to the standing rock sioux reservation to document the uprising against the dakota access partnership line. >> criminals. get your money somewhere else. >> we are standing at the construction site of the dakota access pipeline. it looks like there are at least three bulldozers that are to people's surprise at this moment actually bulldozing the land. there's a helicopter above. there is security and hundreds of people have been marching when they heard that the construction site is actually active right now. people have gone through the fence, men, women and children, the bulldozers are still going and they are yelling at the men in hard hats. one threw one of the protesters down. and they are marching over the dirt mound. some of the security have dogs. >> amy goodman, this guy hit me in the face. it is all over my sunglasses. he maced me in the face. all over me. >> that dog, i was walking and even without think warning look at this.

thinking of a podcast i was - thinking of a podcast i was listening to a few weeks ago about george h w bush things that george h w bush couldn't conceive of doing and couldn't understand why the voters would want to hear it. in essence, he was a bit tone deaf. maybe mrjohnson is a more agile. joe, do you possess a pair of red corduroy trousers? trio. laughter. corduroy trousers? no. laughter. that's corduroy trousers? iiru laughter. that's one nailed down! make of that what we will. do you want to take us down to another story on the front of the telegraph? this is just further down. forgive me, it's actually the i. i'm out of date because it was on the last list. rail plans a scaled down. this isn't going to go down well in the red wall seats. no, it's not. it's well in the red wall seats. no, it's not- it's going _ well in the red wall seats. no, it's not. it's going to _ well in the red wall seats. no, it's not. it's going to talk— well in the red wall seats. no, it's not. it's going to talk about - well in the red wall seats. no, it's not. it's going to talk about some | not. it's going

for an administration like george w. bush or barack obama or donald trump or now joe biden to decide the political decision to get involved in afghanistan or to stay there a while or withdraw, these were policy decisions. what underlies that policy decision is an assumption of conditions in the world and whether the tools you have, u.n. dispatches and security council, stamens from the white house, -- statements from the white house or military power, how useful they are. it is hard to wage war by committee, it never works well. in article two of the constitution, the first paragraph -- well, second one -- talks about the role of commander-in-chief, given to the president to be that person to whom the nation looks for using the military tool to secure u.s. national interests. later in article one, congress is supposed to provide for these tools, and army and navy, now a space force and cyber command and those sorts of things. when we have a situation life afghanistan and we have the secretary of defense, chairman of joints ch

george w. bushks are looking at this, scratching their heads unable to call this race. >> again. all of a sudden, you see a need for an alternative source and a different source of news, it is just like all of a sudden, a lightning strikes, more and more people say, oh, yeah, let me check out what fox has to say about this. >> billed on three big stories, one was clinton-lewinsky, the second 2000 election and third aftermath of 9/11. i think we did a good job on 9/11 covering that story, but in aftermath we looked at it differently from other media. when the dust cleared we were number one and have been since. >> you get to 9/11 it was you know a freight train, that nobody could stop. >> it was palpable the concepts of fox news channel getting on the map, you could feel it after three years there was finally some traction. and it was going to survive. >> i came to fox news after the twin towers one down went down. >> that is the way it has been, mujahidh would avance. and they could call on b-52. >>

president george w. bush worked with them on something called the act.re was another basic bargain. if you wanted to raise money from the public, you had to provide financials. your auditor had to be subject to inspection. basic bargain. nearly 20 years later, companies from 50 jurisdictions have allowed their books and records to be looked at. the auditors to be audited. two jurisdictions have not. china and hong kong. last year, congress said that enough is enough. they said a three year clock in place. if we don't work this out, if the auditing firms of these china related companies don't open up their workpapers, that what congress said is, we have to suspend trading. these companies should not be able to access markets throughout our stock exchanges. david: the senator principal staff person drafting this was gary gensler. you know this pretty well. gary: there were others involved as well. i learned working for a senator, it was all there. if it went well, it was theirs. if it went pear-shaped, it was the staffs. i do know it. it was after enron fa

george w bush did in the early 2000s, ronald reagan did it, george h w bush did it.s incapacitated presidents can temporary hand overpowers to kamala harris. anthony zurcher there. we have a truly inspiring story next about the musician felix klieser. he plays the french horn in an orchestra in southern england. but felix was born without any arms. the bbc�*s andrew plant reports. ready? yeah. to be a world—famous french horn player, you need good lungs. what you don't need, though, are fingers. felix klieser warming up with an instrument he fell in love with when he was just three years old. the thing i can remember, really, is that i wanted to play exactly this instrument and nothing else. 27 years later, he's now artist in residence with bournemouth symphony orchestra, a growing reputation worldwide and a technique most unique among top musicians. it should be so difficult to do, and the funny thing about this is i'm thinking the same with you. so, because i'm seeing your fingers and the fingers are quite long, i can't really understand how you can hold a pencil w

george w bush did it in the early 2000, ronald reagan did it, george h w bush did it.n's age, it was not surprising that he invoked the 25th amendment of the us constitution, which governs incapacitated presidents to temporarily hand over presidential powers to kamala harris. some lovely pictures to end now — from the longest partial lunar eclipse. it could be seen from japan, chile or the united states. nasa says the partial eclipse — lasting for 3 hours, 28 minutes and 23 seconds — was the longest since 1440. a solar eclipse occurs when the moon is positioned between the sun and earth, leading the moon's shadow to be projected onto earth's surface. before we go, a reminder of our top story. president biden said the verdict in the kyle rittenhouse case would leave many americans feeling angry and concerned. but in a statement he said thejury had spoken and its verdict must be respected. winsconsin's governor, tony evers, called for peace, saying no verdict could heal the wounds of the families involved. but the parents of one of the victims, anthony huber, said it mea

when he and george w. bush came into office in 1989, he was very clear in laying out a marker and saying i am not going to be like george schultz, i won't be flying around the middle east. forget it. i don't want to do it. there is nothing to gain there. everyone on this discussion knows well, basically you might not want to be about the middle east but the middle east wants to be involved with you. there more or less is where the matter stood. the overarching context, can you -- is middle east peacemaking, can it be divorced from the historical moment in which these figures operated. with jim baker you have to come down on a solid no, that the events of this period when he was secretary of state, this was the changing point, this was the collapse and the decline and fall of the soviet empire. it was the end of the cold war and a decade of competition coming to an end. that was the overarching context for the entire tenure as secretary of state. november 9, 1989, of the berlin wall fell which was also extremely

in 2001, george w. bush invoked executive privilege from 2013. in 2009, barack obama voted not to invoke executive privilege from george w. bush. it has been the current guy, the current guy. joe biden has been making that same argument in court. one thing so important to remember, however, even if donald trump can somehow invoke executive privilege, that is not going to be the end of it. they will have to do a balancing act like they did in the richard nixon case. what is the need for the documents to come out and how important is it they remain secret. . >> even if he's not successful, it takes time. which may be the point here. walk us through what is next and how long in total this could take >> yeah. we're in front of the district court now. now, the judge has an interesting history here. she has gotten several of the january 6th cases relating to the criminal cases against rioters. and she's made interesting statements about the way she views what happened on january 6th. she said in one case, quote, a violent mob seeking to overthrow the la

and then also, with the george w. bush administration. and i don't think -- i don't know george w. bush that well . and just a comment, i will commend the ranking member. i think his comments and his questions are very insightful. but one of the things i think the bank industry does with regularity is they don't like provisions and a particular regulator, they change their charge. have you -- there are so many community banks that are state chartered that are not governed by the comptroller currency and as also indicated too and any type of significant change would require this congress to agree. the articles that's been discussed, and i think in context, is we face a extraordinary shift with respect to digital currencies, with respect to all of these factors. and there is a possibility that they are virtually unregulated now that -- unrelated to the federal reserve could start essentially setting our monetary policy. is that the context of your academic pursuit? >> yes, senator. you are absolutely correct. this is exactly the context for my academic pursuits. particularly with resp

president george w. bush had gonzalez. neither one had great legal minds. they were effective though and the time in which they were there in carrying out the president's agenda. i would contend that began in earnest with tom clark working for henry truman. >> we are going to come back to him because he becomes one of the supreme court appointees. but is truman thinking that at the time? >> there's every indication that he is. >> you get some traction immediately with abortion. the real moment for truman's vincent. this is the guy come if there is a treatment appointee that has a legacy that is probably him? >> yes. it's a stage in a sadly how literally unknown he is today among americans. at the time of his nomination for the chief justice ship, he was one of, if not the biggest names in washington. not including the president or him, but he held so many jobs of a monumental importance to the american economy. he had been treasury secretary. he had been director of the time as emergency management dealing with the war praise been a district appellate court

the first out of the last nine so-called three amigos summits dating back all the way to the george w. bush administration that ends without a press conference. bret? >> bret: peter doocy live on the north lauren. thanks. we now a little more about president biden's massive social spending and tax plan. we have just received in the past few minutes the final cost estimated from the congressional budget office. the cbo. the congressional correspondent chad pergram tells us where things stand tonight. good evening, chad, what do the cbo numbers tell us? >> good evening, bret. the cbo says the bill will adds 367 billion to the deficit over a decade. they will make up revenue catching tax cheats. those figures are crucial. members can use the evaluation as a fig leaf to vote yes or justify a nay vote. the house is expected to vote on the bill later tonight. those numbers are important to unlock the votes to pass the bill. nod democrat democrats held out for analysis from the cbo. >> we are taking into account the cbo's score before we vote on any bill regardless of the size. and so when we are

let's bring in ron christie, former advisor to george w. bush. it's great to see you.lesson of last night that the republicans did better without trump on the ballot? ron: what we learned is the republicans listened to voters. they listened and heard that inflation is making an impact, gasoline prices are too high, food prices are going up. the issue was education. parents have not -- parents were alarmed about they have seen some students' curriculums look like. reading the tea leaves, maybe the democrats are doing too much too fast and hold onto promises instead of moving in a far different direction. laura: was an interesting how president trump terrified suburban voters but republicans did really well in the suburbs last night. can mr. trump be the candidate in 24? ron: it's interesting. i'm already hearing glenn youngkin should be on the ballot in 2024. what he did was important. he was able to straddle the line of mobilizing trump supporters, those deep red districts, while at the same time appealing to suburban people and saying i am a dad, i hear you. that i be
