the book makes clear the huge amount of respect and admiration george w. bush has for his father led a truly remarkable life. george herbert walker bush was born in massachusetts on june 12, 1924, and exactly 18 years later signed up for the u.s. navy. by that time he was already one year into his relationship with barbara pierce who would later become his wife. as the youngest pilot in the navy, he flew 58 combat missions during world war ii and was awarded the distinguished flying across after being shot down by the japanese and plucked from the ocean by a u.s. submarine. george and barbara went on to have six children including the future president, he followed in the footsteps of his own father by running for office, becoming a member of congress before going onto becoming ambassador at the united nations and later becoming president himself george bush was at the forefront of the end of the cold war, the fall of the soviet union and countless major events that shaped world history. at the george bush museum and library i got an opportunity to do something

then george w. bushicked up the ball and ran with allowing all the illegal aliens in the fortry to lower the wages u.s. citizens that are middle-class, and he also -- also signed off and now hillary clinton talks about income inequality while at the same time going behind the scenes to big multinational corporations, and she will be a nightmare. the only hope for the country is someone like elizabeth warren. -- aboutinsincere helping the middle-class and the economy. guest: he raises an interesting point. democratic president that lack these imperfections. washington was a slave owner. lincoln's views on slavery was pragmatic. decision, japanese-americans in california, his own fidelity's, these were very imperfect -- imperfect individuals, not just in their personal lives, to some degree, but also in the policies they pursued. you will not get a perfect president and you will not get a president that will not stumble. afraid, focus on the individual and rather than the system the individual operates and

to say about himself and what others want to say about him, the value won't be in tearing down george w. bush all over again, the value will be tearing down jeb bush and what he wants to do. it will be hard to tie jeb bush to what george w. bush was doing. i could be wrong. >> in terms of the other strong contenders for 2016, we talk about chris christie, we talk about maybe scott walker, both subject to federal and state investigations, assuming their names are cleared in those, does the entrance of jeb bush put their candidacy on ice? >> i don't know about on ice. for chris christie i don't think it means anything. we all know he likes a fight. scott walker, i'm not sure. i think what governor bush has done today is send a clear message not to take anything for granted. >> yes he's actively exploring the possibility -- yes. >> so to the fundraising question, i mean, who is it? one prominent, top florida fundraiser says is this. florida will be off limits? they can't visit? >> not at all. [ laughter ] >> but the donor community will settle on one governor not several. >> they probably are. t

former president george w. bush is weighing in, showing that the reaction shows more must become so that race becomes a less divisive part of life. >> the verdict was hard to understand. but i hadn't seen all the details. but it's sad that -- that race continues to play such an -- you know, kind of an emotional divisive part of life. calls into question what needs to be done to heal -- to get the country united again. and as they mentioned, and i agree, there's been tremendous progress based on race. but these incidents show there needs to be more. >> this morning, there is backlash over the failed raid to save the life of photo journalist luke somers in yemen. the navy s.e.a.l. team 6 team got the green light to rescue him, but as we report, things quickly took a turn for the worse. >> senior administration officials say friday night navy s.e.a.l.s landed about two miles from the target, secretly approaching a cluster of buildings. but their cover was blown, sparking a fire fight, giving them time to shoot the host

george w. bush on hand as george h.w. the republican nominee and ran in his own right and became president. 1992, you have the double. bill clinton and george h.w. bush, he was the incumbent, bill clinton the democratic challenger, ross paro involved in that race. hillary clinton here as her husband ran for re-election, move the time line along. unique moment in 2000, slide it over so you can see it, there you go, bill clinton handing the keys over to george w. bush in 2000. 2004, brother jeb was the surrogate as the brother ran for re-election. 2008, the age of the iphone, hillary clinton was the democratic nominee, but of course she ran in the democratic primaries, clinton in the running there. 2012, no clinton. no bush in the running for president. and now looking forward to 2016, and the big question mark, hillary clinton likely to run on the democratic side, jeb bush is considering running on the republican side. we'll reset that and walk over, robert costa, why hillary clinton formidable can wait, we'll hear from he

during the george w. bush administration. ait rised by washington, executed in the field by c.i.a. prosecutors and contractors. the c.i.a. committee spent years and a 6,000 page report that will lay out what sorts of techniques that were used on prisoners. and some intelligence officials lied for years. there's been some question about whether the obama administration had let this report be released. why the report needs to come out. >> in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, we did some things that were wrong. we did a whole lot of things that were right, but we tortured some folks. we did some things that were against our values. we crossed the line. that needs to be taken a look at by the country. >> we tortured some folks. >>> again, we're told to expected a 600 page summary of this multithousand page report to be released tomorrow afternoon. this is a big deal. >>> joining me now is mr. landy. thanks for being here. >> my pleasure to be here. >> so the release of this report has been debated for not months, years. lots of ar

or as george w. bush used to say, i get half my dad's friends and all of his enemies. >> karen, george w. bush and jeb's mother, barbara bush, said really there has to be some other families in this country. gwen: she took it back. >> she did. she changed her mind on that. i think somebody may have advised her that sent the wisest thing to say before your son announces. what do polls show americans think of that? >> at this point again, these candidate business virtue of their names, immediately become the front-runners. let's face it, this country has always had sort of mixed feelings about this. george washington in his first inauguration wa so anxious not wore an ught as old he old brown cloth suit and called him, even though they wanted to, his highness. and by the sixth president two adams, roosevelts, kennedys. there's something magical throughout our history with names like this. >> karen, we have yet more clintons and bushes perhaps waiting in the rings, right? >> there's yet another george bush.

i think he wrote that after having cleared it with the president, george h w bush. and george w. bush was saying to himself, i think it's a very close relationship, honest, loving relationship. president, we were you don't want to be told what to do. about the funny thing way we govern ourselves. presidents and do not take advantage of the amount of experience and knowledge that exists in this city. or in this country. can you imagine if president obama on a regular basis, not a deal but a rate -- big had all of the living presidents to dinner every couple of months and say, hey, what should i do? or the secretary of state to bring in former secretary of state. or create a national security team. it does not have the constitutional authority to act but inform and advise. i think that would be wonderful. we do not have it. i do not know why. withhing that has to do the ego of president, i am not sure. it's sort of makes sense. we are going to let our audience asked -- >> one more question before we turn it over to you. , a. you say segues local one. someone who has been, -- what yo

[video clip] >> we were told that we were chosen. i was on lloyd bentsen's campaign. ann compton had a phone call. i was given a number. the head of the debate group said, will you be on the debate tomorrow night? i said, can i call new york and ask their permission. he said, yes. i got almost no preparation time. i did spend that night staying up and writing questions. the second time, we had at least a week or two notice. at that point, when i was asked to be a debate questioner, i cut off contact with the campaigns and those who were trying to influence the questions. i wanted to be

you also had a lot of conservatives that george w. bush, governor of texas at the time, should spare her life, even though he didn't spare so many people's lives. george w. bush was texas governor at the time. those pleas for mercy fell on deaf ears. he ended up swer viewing the candidate specifically about the carla faye tucker case. obviously, it was one of the most unnerving things published by anybody about george w. bush before he was elected president. he was clearly not at all bothered by this particular execution. so he saw to it that carla faye tucker got excuted. now, the texas governor who wants to run for president is a man named rick perry. but the same type of dynamic is playing out once again. this time, it's attracting nationwide attention. even some christian conservatives to lobby the texas governor to not go through with this one. this time it's a man whose case is famous, because, specifically, he appears to be so obviously and so dramatically mentally ill. he's due to be killed by the state of texas. the list includes

there's bush baggage among nonrepublicans who maybe don't necessarily remember the george w. bush presidency that well. republicans who are pragmatic and say maybe we're not smart by nominating another bush and it's also republicans, don't forget, on the tea party right who explained away the election of 2008 who said george w. bush gave conservatism a bad name. that laid the ground work for barack obama. i think that's the real story. not even any commanding lead for jeb bush. at least not right now. latte or au lait? cozy or cool? exactly the way you want it ... until boom, it's bedtime! your mattress is a battleground of thwarted desire. enter the sleep number bed. save $300 on the final close-out of the c3 queen mattress set. he's the softy. his sleep number setting is 35. you're the rock, at 60. and snoring? sleep number's even got an adjustment for that. only at a sleep number store, find the lowest prices of the season, with the c3 queen mattress set only $1199.98. plus 24 month special financing on all beds. know better sleep with sleep number. introducing dance-all-you wa

if you look at what the white house did with george w. bushthe lead here, he made a determination to go into the justice department, that these techniques were legal. they were harsh, but they were legal. the cia suspended the program twice, they said we need to make sure that we're doing this in the way that it's proper and in fitting with the way the united states treats detainees. this report is the most one-sided, flawed report that could have been published in "rolling stone" magazine. they interviewed not one single officer. they didn't interview rodriguez who ran the program for the cia. they didn't interview any of the directors. so for this notion, as david says, it's in the torture report. what's tortured is that feinstein has made a mockery to her legacy of not getting the facts out, taking no one's opinion other than -- [ all speak at once ] >> let me ask you the one point. i want to know if it's true or not. is it true that the justice department approved this program? >> yes. the justice department -- >> i thought it was the offi

i think evolution is the right word when it comes to president george w. bush's stale. he came in with a lot of it attaches, governors not familiar with the apparatus the way of many candidates for presidents come to the office. but he also came into office with his dad's administration having some of the most abled, most effective national security decision-making apparatus in our modern history. so he had an opportunity to watch that. so he did not come into office naÏve. but his administration was struck with really the greatest national security shock in our lifetime. certainly in the postwar era. and as condi said, we were not prepared to deal with an attack on the homeland. we were in an area that is being described as the end of history when president bush came in. he came into office, intending to be the education president. not intended to be the national security president. he was figuring and hoping that whole area would be relatively calm as it had been in the administration that you served in. 9/11 changed all of that. the world had been changing for some t

i'm saying, 14% awfully -- i remember when george w. bushet out in 2000 to run in polls lick this, he was at lick 40%. you're down to 14 now for jeb bush. are we overstating the appetite that's there in the republican party for him? >> i think that, look, very early polls of the an reflection of name recognition, the bush name is immediately gonna put you -- >> should be higher than 14, right? >> i think what it shows, unlike on the democratic side, hillary is absolutely blowing out the rest of the field there is no one dominant choice for republicans. they have a huge potential field and that's why i think these questions of who's in and who's out are actually going to end up being pretty critical. i would say, his name is there, but what you were talking about as far as who gets the early money, who gets the establishment support, that's gonna sort of say, signal who on that giant long list of candidates, which ones are gonna get squeezed out before they even really have a chance to step forward and to move their number up higher? >> mark

both george w. bush, we could argue all day long about the wisdom of iraq -- iraq and afghanistan -- but both george w. bush and barack obama were intensely focused on keeping the nation secure. we have not been attacked again directly by foreign terrorist organizations. there have been attacks inspired, but not directed. that is a testament, in large part, to the focus of both of those presidents on the most important issue facing the country. presidential legacies are important to individuals. you see it now with president obama. i think it is natural and understandable for two-term presidents, the last years are not focused on history. not their own parties, necessarily, or even public opinion. i think it is inevitable that presidents will want to look beyond their terms, at a certain point in those terms, to shape history. and posterity will look at the presidencies. host: recommendations from our guest aaron david miller include the following, read more presidential history. think transaction, not t
