>> george w. bush, he is speaking to the congress after 9/11 and the last time that they were gathered in this chamber was on september 20, nine days after september 11. he will utilize this to celebrate a u.s. victory in afghanistan and charting a course for what he is going to call this war on terror and basically sketching this division that he has of the united states role in the world to protect and defend democracy. we see it as a precursor to going into iraq and the weapons of mass instruction that the demonstration since in -- mass destruction that the administration says are in place. you can also look at barack obama's first state of the union speech, obama is speaking at that moment into his presidency -- a year into his presidency. one of the lines we expect to hear is the president to say that the state of union is strong. there are many moments in which it is not strong and obama is explicit about that in 2010. he acknowledges the pain and the hardship that has been experienced by million

george w. bush who was very, very low people assumed he would stay low because of the great recession in the iraq war which was unpopular and because some people say of foreign policy is suddenly rising, why, people still reflecting differently he scores very well on moral authority or indecency factor. this past year bill clinton and richard nixon fell some spots, you have to say why i think because watergate was in the news so frequently in the monica lewinsky was being talked about during the double impeachment of trump. in this spiel by saying nancy pelosi said during the impeachment of trump many democrats said were gonna paint him in history we may not remove him with the impeachments but there will be a dent in his armor and this pull shows the's indent of double s impeachment f a president hard to see why people will be looking successful uniting of the nation president. >> plenty to talk about at the "washington journal" plenty of colors for a piano historian advisors if you want to follow

is probably the 2002 midterms in which republicans gain seats in the house and senate despite george w. bushn power and that's because the country was still reeling from 9/11 and very much behind george w. bush politically speaking during that election, that's not the case in 2022, joe biden is an unpopular president cap spells trouble for the houseof of representatives. in the senate no, it's a little different because it's more constrained, not every senator is up for reelection this time democrats have the benefit of only depending seat and states joe biden 12020 so they do have a built in advantage. however, things are so bad for the president at the moment, a lot of those close states, georgia and arizona less than a percentage.flip to republicans even though they voted for joe biden the 2020 election because the president is so unpopular. >> jacobow of inside elections, joining us. democrat line, first up for our guest, phil had. >> i just want to ask why you people always say house and senate are evenly divided about the power is e evenly divided wn the senate has a filibuster which m

these countries were targeted by the george h w bush, or george w bush, the senior vice president of ronald reagan and bribed with hundreds of millions of dollars. and these monies were given the countries in exchange for their acquiescence and their submission to american military and economic and political objectives. no ring of nato military bases is being formed around russia. the u. s. nato have over 600 military base. his world wide. russia has just 18, but the west still claims that russia has aggressive intent by turning those russians, the soviets, and to this dangerous boy man that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy to create this image. it. soviets as out for world conquest, which was not the case, then bar now. ah, nato should have died, but they will give it meaning. it is about infected, created by, by nato nato's business machine. because you must remember if nato, what is bad shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions and millions. they'd only have one yacht instead of 2 yards each. there. oh dea

in an administration like george w. bush, barack obama, trump or now, joe biden, decide the political issues to get involved in afghanistan or to stay there for a while, or wind to withdraw, these were policy issues. it is an assumption in the world, whether the tools you have, u.n. dispatchers, statement from the white house, or military power, how useful are those in a military setting. the topic of this is, "why a president? ' in article two of the constitution, the very first print -- first paragraph talks about the commander-in-chief. it was given to the president to be to hurston -- given to the president. in article one, congress is supposed provide for these tools. when you have a statement like that you understand. the attorney general saying we can do things or week can do other things. really, the capabilities of these tools and whether we can do things the public would expect, their tax dollars would make it possible. >> we divide responsibility. we say the congress has the authority to declare war and to raise a

when we say president's party is up against -- george w. bush, effective 9/11 had his numbers so high so long enough his party picked up a couple seats in midterms back in 2002. where have the numbers been going wrong for joe biden? to bring him to that 41% approval rating? a couple things jump out here. talk about the economy. here's the trajectory. for nbc, asking this question throughout biden's presidency. do you approve or disapprove of how the president's handling the economy? this is where he started. a small majority back in the spring of 2021 said approved. you could see how numbers started to go backwards for him throughout the last year. inflation has become a major issue in reason months. here's the latest number. the president now under 40% approval on handling of the economy. the other big issue and more dramatic drop for biden about to show you here. covid. the pandemic. when he came to office, this was where he got his strongest marks as president. about a year ago nearly 70% of voters approved of how biden was handling the pande

>> a couple of things, historically and he worked for george w. bushesident given our long speech laying out what his plan is for america and state of the union, you usually do see a bump in approval rating. that notwithstanding, i think what you will hear from joe biden is a somber president and a president in the middle of a military conflict while also dealing with issues you laid on the top of this, he was the president talking about the solutions and what i've done passing one of the most in history and what i've done to make sure we are moving our way fully but surely out of the pandemic. those three things put together well hopefully be the opening argument for what democrat was say in the midterm election even though we can all agree the headwinds are against them. lawrence: the state of the union is ... what? >> exactly, i think it's interesting richard's right, usually get a bump out of the state of the union but let's look at the poll numbers. the factors, double digits just to get to 50% even in summer overall approval ratings but 38% on fo

the things surrounding and i want to bring in commentator ana navarro and a former advisor to george w. bush and john mccain and the executive producer of "the circus." good evening to both of you. mark, sources are saying trump advisors drafted two orders, one to the defense department, one to homeland security. this is how far they went to try to overturn the election. it is really chilling. >> amazing we keep learning new things worse than what we know, don. you know, i've been saying for republicans who wish for some future for the party we could put -- take donald trump off the windshield and put him in the rearview mirror and the last couple days, think what happened. he said the inside stuff out loud. he said he wanted pence to overturn the election. he said he wanted protests over racial prosecution because the prosecutors were black. he said he'd pardon insurrectionists, which is very mafia like to say i'll cover you if you cover me. we found out about shredded documents and plans to seize elections over two executive orders. when we can't be shocked anymore, we're shocked again and

so for an administration like george w. bush or barack obama, or donald trump are nowar joe biden, to decide a political decision to get involved in afghan were to stay there for a while or to withdraw these are policy decisions what underlies the policy decision is an assumption of conditions in the world and whether the tools you have you and dispatch to the security council or statements from the white house or military power out useful are those in a useful setting. it never works well. and so in article two the very first paragraph second one talks about the role of commander-in-chief credits given to the president to be the person to whom the nation looks are using that military tool to secure u.s. national interest and then later on in article one congress is supposed to provide for these tools in army, navy, now space force in cyber command and all sorts of things. when we have a situation like afghanistan the secretary of defense a chairman of the joint chiefs and so forth saying we can do things over can't do other thi
