david: george w. bushnted very much to bring russia and china into the counterterrorism program as soon as 9/11 ended. there is a scene early in the book, in chapter one, where we are in st. petersburg in 2002. it is early summer, so it is when the sun doesn't set until 10:30 or 11:00 and then barely sets and pops right back up. bush and his wife laura, putin and his then wife, were floating down the river on this big party boat, essentially a big yacht. dinner was being served by this hulking man standing at the back. i remembered his presence but i didn't know at the time who he was. of course we later suspected that it was yevgeniy prigozhin. and my wonderful call writer and researcher mary brooks went back and found the photos and sure enough, there is prigozhin, back when he was still a shaft from it before he ran the internet research agency to try to fix the 2020 election. before he ran the wagner group, invalid share group that saved russia in the early days of the russia-ukraine war, and, of cours

a lot of people who have voted for mitt romney, voted for john mccain, voted for george w. bushcurrently identifying as independents or even democrats because they've been pushed out of the trump era gop. those people could be brought back into the tent if the party were to return to some semblance of a healthy, serious political party. i think that's what mitt romney is hoping for. >> i don't think he's going to tell us who he's voting for, but i don't think he's going to write his wife's name in again. i think there's too much at stake. thank you both for joining us. stuart, i know you helped me get ready for that interview, thank you for that. and you at home, you can check my full extended interview if that wasn't enough for you, with senator romney on our youtube page, go to msnbc.com/stephanie. when we return, the war in gaza fired up students on college campuses across the country, but it led to encampments and clashes, serious ones, with police. why our next guest, a special guest, thinks those actions may be hurting more than they're helping palestinians. we'll have tha

so the president i work for -- president reagan, george h. w. bush and george w. bush, all practiced their faith. george w. bush was probably the most disciplined at doing it. there is a document we would all see every day called the president's daily brief, the top -secret. everybody in washington wants to see it. it is a need to see, not a want to see. and we had the need to see it, the president had the need to see it. that anything on the president's desk, i would see it before it went on the president's desk. i would read the document and then i would read it to the president when he came to work. i was very impressed. the document was there. the president would come in, sit down in the chair behind the resolute desk, opened a devotional and read from it, take out another devotional and read from it. take out the bible, read something from it and closed the drawer. i believe he prayed, and then he would pick up the pdf and read it. so i think faith plays a big role in making those decisions. guest: trump is probably one of the least religious people i ever met

and stuart stevens, a veteran of the mitt romney and george w. bush campaigns.body who worked very closely with senator romney, what stood out to you from our conversation? >> i thought it was a great interview. i wish he had been elected president, he would've been a great president. but he has moved on from that, i think he is focused on the future. look, what can i say? i agree with him completely. this is a race that should be determined by character. and the republican nominee has no character. terrible character. and i really think nothing else matters much in this election. it is just such a stark contrast. and mitt romney, it is fascinating to me that a party can nominate mitt romney and then four years later nominate donald trump. in the history of america has there ever been such a change in choice by a party? i don't think so. and i think what it says is not flattering about the republican party. >> mckay, what stood out to you? >> the thing that stood out to me in your conversation is one that stood out to me a lot in my conversations while working o

let's bring in ari fleischer fox news contributor and a white house press secretary for george w. bushampaign, in november 2nd 2,000. when the bombshell dropped that george bush had been arrested in 1976 for a dui. which is kind of the equivalent for that campaign of this "access hollywood" tape. you know with the campaign was going through on october 7th when this all came out. how would they have reacted to that and how does that play into what we are seeing in the courtroom? >> first let me go from the point of view of the public paid when dwi hit with bush, most didn't think that could be true about george w. bush, they didn't know about that so it was really just cut against the reputation image when he was running. it really hurt. in the case of donald trump i don't really think there is anybody alive on earth in the fall of 2016 that had been surprised if donald trump had done something unseemly. i mean, that was trump's personality parity came out of manhattan, he came out of that high-flying billionaire life. right. so i don't think it had the same public impact which takes me

arrest warrants for fdr churchill, but also for hitler or i'm issuing arrest warrants for george bush. george w bush, but also for been lauded. that's absurd here to discuss this with me, it's a washington post foreign policy columnist, josh rogan. josh good to see you. so netanyahu, there in that interview, he called it antisymmetric and slander to say that israel isn't going out of its way to minimize civilian casualties in this war. do you think that that is supported by the facts? >> well, a couple of things. first of all, it's very clear that prime minister netanyahu is doubling down on his determination to defend his government's treatment of the civilians in gaza. and in a way, he's trying to take advantage of the fact that the icc is considering leveling these charges to play the victim into pretend that he's under attack and and i think that makes sense for him politically, although it doesn't your question, answer the real questions and the real disparities between what he said in that interview with jake tapper and the reality on the ground and the reality on the ground is that for o

republicans until my boss george w. bush were largely therapists.ostile to israel but they were considered more friendly to arab regimes. that is all switching now. and the politics is all jumbled because it. there'll be a lot of protests on the dnc so let me ask you this question. like me you've been around long enough to remember the reagan administration. how is what biden is threatening to do now different in any way then what reagan did a couple of times in the 1980s? >> first of all i think joe biden's action comes after the greatest attack that israel has endured since world war ii, since the holocaust. this outrageous attack on october 7th which senator fetterman was alluded to. you know when you attack your grandmas like you go out looking for them and slit throats and stuff there is no more bottom. so a serious attack and they are right there. they are right inside israel. and i don't think anyone would leave them involved so i think the seriousness of the threat coming on top of joe biden's ironclad agreement he goes over and makes a spee
