how much of george w. bush's post-presidency do you think is informed by his father who was president, and also had his own post-presidency? - so, i spent two days with president bush in 2020. and what i wanted to understand was the following, which is if you look at the active living presidents, there's only one whose popularity has doubled since he left office, and it's george w. bush. and it's kind of an interesting question of how he's managed to accomplish that when he's invested so much less, at least actively speaking in his legacy than presidents like bill clinton and obama and others, - is the obvious question that he has been implicitly compared with his republican presidential successor? - i think it's more complicated than that. so i think let's start with where we should give george w. bush credit, which is he's done something that no other ex-president has done, which is he has completely separated. the chapter is called moving on, because a lot of presidents talk about this idea of one president at

and president clinton actually believed, as did george w father, george h.w. bush, that the problem, the cold war, was that american people were losing interest in the world, that there was a growing isolationism, that there was not enough concern. and with the idea of continuing the effort to promote democracy and prosperity. now, that required the united states to build up its military infrastructure, as it did and whether it required the united to get involved in controversy was in different parts of the world. these were difficult questions to do to decide what constitutes a transformative moment is the fact that you have 911 an and 911 represents a transformative event in the sense that in the sense of making americans not only policy makers but most americans feel extraordinarily vulnerable. and because americans feel extraordinarily, they are in clawing to support initiative that they might otherwise not support because we haven't been doing enough, we haven't been paying attention and and the important thing is always to decide, well, what constitutes a vit

it was not to write an indictment of george w. bush and his administration or nor to let him off the hook. i praise you for that. when i picked up the book, i wanted to learn two things definitively to the extent possible. let's admit, emotions are issti raw. 20 years is not a lot of time. anniversaries have a way of focusing our memories back on unpleasant events and we are still living with the consequences of this disastrous war today. so i had to clear my mind and approach this with an open mind and i wanted to learn two things primarily. when and why? when was the decision to invadea iraq and why? let's start with one. it's some people saying the decision was made pretty much after 9/11. but you say definitively that was not the case. >> that's correct. a lot of people believe that the decision to invade iraq and bring about regime change in iraq was actually made even before 9/11, that is to say the neocons in the administration like paul wolfowitz joined the administration with the intent to bring about regime change through an

>> it's pretty head-spinning for somebody who served under george w. bushsee how completely different this is from the approach the republican party took for really its history. donald trump has truly reshaped the republican party in his image. his image is an isolationist. it's not to protect or defend our neighbors and allies as we have historically. to see people not only disagreeing with him, but applauding it, it's really troublesome for people like me who now feel like they're on an island in the all right. >> this is a man who wants to be commander-in-chief. >> that's right. so i think adrienne is right. this is going to be decided on the margins. we know what the base of the republican party thinking. the question is going to be how do things like this impact the really important swing voters that will decide this in november. >> mark mckinnon and adrienne elrod, thank you for the conversation. >>> we're looking ahead to a special election with national ramifications when long island voters head to the polls tomorrow to decide who will replace expel

the difference in al gore and george w. bush was the difference in the third-party boat down -- the third-party vote down there in florida. i wrote a piece on the history of this and it's never happened. never has a third party done anything to yield for the majority are the minority. -- or the minority. the history is clear. >> that's the message we will be hearing. i want to read your quote from nikki haley. your former governor. the first party to retire is going to be the party that wins the election. they made references on president biden because of his age. how is age playing in this? is it something you have to overcome with voters as you talk to them about president biden? >> well, i'm almost three years older than joe biden. joe biden wears his compassion on his sleeve. joe biden's experiences have been different from mine. i don't know what it's like to get elected to office at that age, to lose your son, your daughter. i don't know what it's like to lose a son. so, joe biden is not as animated as i am, certainly, not
