the person who was the warmest of them all, an amazing gentleman, was george h w bush when he was president the first when i got to know as a president. i got to know reagan, but not much. george itched of the bush extended himself to me when he wanted to learn about what hiv was because he wanted to do something about it. david: what would you say are the characteristics that make somebody a leader? dr. fauci: if you are leading an organization of some sort that has a purpose or a mandate, that as the leader you have to articulate to the people you are leading exactly what your vision is and where you want the organization to go, because i have seen issues in which there was not good leadership, where an organization don't know where they are supposed to be going. if you let them know which revision is, hire the best people, and don't get in your way, that is the quality of a good leader. david: let's suppose i get an infectious disease and want to be one of your patients. how do i do that? dr. fauci: you get your doctor to give me a call or send me an email. if you have a disease that fal

david: when president george w. bushresident, he asked you what you could do about hiv, aids in africa. dr. fauci: he sent me to africa to do a fact-finding and come back with the feasibility of doing something. he felt as a rich nation that we have a moral responsibility now that we have drugs that can treat and prevent infection the other individuals because of where they live they don't have access to that, they will essentially die from the disease merely because of where they were born and raised, i.e. in the developing world, so he sent me to africa to figure if we can treat, care, and prevent. we put together a program called the president's emergency plan for aids relief. that is probably one of the most important parts of the george w. bush legacy, because that has saved now about 14 million to 15 million lives thus far, and more coming merely by providing sub-saharan africa and other countries with the proper drugs that can save lives and prevention. david: who is paying for this? the u.s. government. dr. fauci

david: president george w. bush asked you what you could do about hiv and aids in africa. >> he felt that we have a moral responsibility as origination. david: the best way to prevent having an infectious disease is what? >> the normal, low-tech, healthy things are the best. >> would you fix your tie, please? david: people would not recognize me if my tie was fixed. all right. i don't consider myself a journalist. nobody else would consider myself a journalist. i began to take on the life of an interviewer even though i have a day job running a private equity firm. how do you define leadership? what is it that makes somebody tick? we are here today with dr. anthony, also tony felt she, who --, tony fauci, who is the director of the national institutes of health, which he has led for 35 years. that is a longtime to be leading institute. is that a record? dr. fauci: it is. david: you haven't gotten tired of doing this? because things keep changing. it is a must like a different job every year or two. david: i always w

george h.w. bush. george w. bush lost new hampshire resoundingly to john mccain. barack obama wins iowa, but loses new hampshire to secretary clinton. so there's always a drama here and the test is what can a candidate on the fly learn from defeat? he's actually a pretty good test run for the pressures of the office. and so the one thing about vice president biden is he's had so much trauma and tragedy in his life he knows -- he knows how to be resilient. that's now tragically second nature to him because the nature of his life. but i think it -- to me the biden efficacy of the candidacy right now, what tells me the most is that most of us and most of us who live -- spend too much time on our phones and too much time thinking about this stuff actually, are only talking to a

i didn't know george w. bush. i met him once during his campaign for president to be governor of texas and for two weeks after he won the election, i didn't expect them to win. he was running against anna richards, a positive incumbent, a democrat in texas but he won . and about two weeks later be called one of my partners to say would you check to see if al gonzalez would be interested in coming to work for me and i was surprised. two weeks later i go to austin to sit down with bush for the first time and we have a discussion about what he expected of me and what the job entailed. at the end of the conversation i asked and said governor, i've got to ask you why me? there's 70,000 lawyers in texas and you could have asked and any number of people to do this, why me? he tells me the story, he says in 1988 this is a true story, we were asked to go to washington in my dad's administration and i did go to washington in 88 because they were looking for diversity in the first bush administration. i interviewed the veter

david: when president george w. bushas president, he asked you to come to the oval office and ask you -- and asked you what you could do about hiv, aids in africa. dr. fauci: he sent me to africa to do a fact-finding and come back with the feasibility of doing something. he told me that he felt as a rich nation that we have a moral responsibility now that we have drugs that can treat and prevent infection the other individuals because of where they live they don't have access to that, they will essentially die from the disease merely because of where they were born and raised, i.e. in the developing world, so he sent me to africa to figure if we can treat, care, and prevent. we put together a program called the president's emergency program. that is probably one of the most important parts of the george w. bush legacy, because that has saved now about 14 million to 15 million lives thus far, and more coming merely by providing sub-saharan africa and other countries with the proper drugs that can save lives and prevention

talked about george w. bush, 33rd. we had him after he left office and he was one point lower than we added another president and moved up one. he's close to the bottom ten not only the reaction to 9/11 as an important part of the economic crisis and response to hurricane katrina. finally barack obama and the survey came back in 12th place not a good place to start. here are the top five in 2017 dwight eisenhower as we talked about before. theodore roosevelt in the survey that is common not only for hours but others as well. you won't be surprised to learn the next one in line as franklin roosevelt whenever one, two or three. those features ... doris kearns goodwin. it is a terrific one. whethe one on theodore roosevels doug brinkley's book willingness warriors and it's about his role as a conservation president. for george washington, we chose rob chernow's biography. he won the pulitzer prize for it. george washington came in second place in 868 points out of a possible 1,000 is score is 13th, and the pursuit of equa

george w. bushim, barack obama would not see him, and now it looks like he is being reinstated. whether or not this plays well in europe, it is ha rd to this plays well in europe, it is hard to say. he will be strengthened but it could also be the centre turn out to see, here is donald trump trying to undermine the european union and then they go to the polls to try and counter this move. we have republicans and democrats on the committee and a rare moment of unity, coming together and writing a letter to donald trump saying to be careful of this, there has been an erosion of democracy and hungary. careful of this, there has been an erosion of democracy and hungarym some ways it is not new in the sense that we donald trump favoured pain in the election, seeing an alliance of populists, steve bannon, his former adviser has been travelling around europe trying to organise the alliance of populists will stop i do not think it's going to put donald trump in hot water that he is not already and, but it d

the other presidents on the list, some have reasons, 9/11 for george w. bush. i believe george h.w. . other than jimmy carter who was in very bad position, this president doesn't compare favorably to those. why is he not higher than he is given the strong economy? >> first of all a lot of polls are skewed. they're done among adults being registered voters not likely voters. they screw democrats. connell: normally i would say you're crazy last time you were right about that. >> while they might have been fair to previous presidents, this president gets a lot of negative press. connell: do you buy into the argument he could be, should be higher than where he is, given the economy? >> what is interesting, is on monday, you had steve rattner, a part of the obama administration, wrote analysis of several predictive models, whether yale professor, don luskin, you had, moody's. connell: yeah. >> each one of those models said this president is going to get reelected with well over 50% of the vote. connell: basically what models say, correct me if i'm wrong, a president would get reelected in

making is is an important one george w. bush basically subcontracted his mideast foreign policy out to dick cheney i mean cheney would stop by the oval office and he was about to give a speech basically sort of laying out why the u.s. was going to go to war against iraq and bush would look up according to the reports and say oh you're going to be really tough right and cheney would say yeah i'm going to be really tough another words george w. bush had a hands off approach just basically subcontract in his foreign policy out to these neo cons donald trump has done the same thing perhaps he i mean there's a lot of issues that are underway right now trump seems to be focused on the the struggle against china again he's getting a lot of support from the democratic party adam schiff today came out saying that it was very welcome what donald trump was doing about while way so he could he could win over the democrats by being hard line on a number of these issues say to bolton pompei oh yeah go for it just don't start a war but again t

to be really tough right and cheney would say yeah i'm going to be really tough another words george w. bush had a hands off approach just basically subcontracted his foreign policy out to these neo cons donald trump has done the same thing perhaps he i mean there's a lot of issues that are underway right now trump seems to be focused on the struggle against china again he's getting a lot of support from the democratic party adam schiff today came out. saying that it was very welcome what donald trump was doing about why a way so he could he get win over the democrats by being hardline on a number of these issues say to bolton pompei oh yeah go for it just don't start a war but again that's a very dangerous assumption because richard is unlike pompei o and the israelis would be very happy to start a war absolute max the question goes i just jump in on this ok real quick eric go ahead. you know this is this is precisely what. you know the problem is with bolton the relationship between bolton and trump i mean you know the one of the huge rumors in washington now is that trump really is very a

middle east but once they get elected they can't help but start new ones barack obama turned george w. bush's two wars into eight and trump has kept those wars ticking along while threatening new ones in new regions of the world as of course in those days in a limited military action in libya in support of an international effort to protect libyan civilians i have decided that the united states should take military action against syrian regime targets we have troops over the world this place is a very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and dying we have many options for of it as well as including a possible military option if necessary sending lethal weapons to ukraine escalating threats against iran and venezuela trump was elected sounding like a dove but he's governing like a hawk he dropped the mother of all bombs on afghanistan and sent cruise missiles to syria but it's a long tradition in one thousand nine hundred sixty four lyndon johnson ran for president on a platform of not escalating the vietnam war and after he won guess what he did in one nin

george w. bush 33rd.lthough first time we have him after he left office he was one point lower and president up one soso he's pretty close to the bottom ten, and not only reaction to 9/11 is important part but economic crisis wars that ensued after 9-1-1 and response to hurricane katrina are all things that -- over time will see how historians rate his presidency and finally, barack obama, his debut in the survey came in 12th place not a bad place to start. just top five in 2017 and dwight eisenhower into top five for the first time. theodore roosevelt in fourth place in the survey can be and that's fairly common throughout not only ours but also other surveys that are done you won't be surprised to know that next one in line is franklin roosevelt in number one, two, or three -- the fdr biography that we chose to highlight in our book is goodwinn no ordinary time anyboy read that in the audience? that is a terrific one. the one on theodore roosevelt is the book called wilderness warrior all about a role a

but he's not the first president to do that but if i look back at george w. bush in 2002 in the rose garden gave a speech speaking clearly for clear governance and it was well received so you put the criticism into the context hope for the future and say we expect xyz. but if you do not say what it would look like exactly that you try to undermine that attack so yes to reduce the plan with the palestinians because already for what they believe. >> we are almost out of time going to make sure we get through as expeditiously as possible but on the question if the palestinians are starting below scratch with an election the prime minister reelected. so in terms of the trump plan? is that make you more or less likely to go ahead quick. >> with the public discourse that percentage is not a high priority because they spoke about other issues. but now to be reelected will form a new coalition. and it will present this plan to speak to the prime minister and to speak about settlements. not only under political pressure but also to see the opportunity to move ahead. so we

first got wind of the project somewhere around two thousand and four two thousand and five when george w. bush the president of the united states at that time established a commission. simply to study the possibility of the potential of a museum being located somewhere in d.c. a museum dedicated to african-american history and culture. it's one of those incredible projects really it's sort of a lot of weight but also a lot of pride for me i'm really. just thrilled to be an architect of this time to be able to gauge in that this is a very useful picture that i always use which really gets you to understand where you are in the you know this is the last to build build plot which is this red highlights this is the white house here and this is obviously washington's one that lincoln is here but this is the motion to moral grounds and this is the mall coming here saloon really at this hinge moments the knuckle of the whole thing. this project was beyond just one one firm and one person and then it would take it you know an allegiance and collaborative effort and you know as an african-american i fe

what donald trump has done, that even george w. bushhe said i'm going to give you a far right supreme court and then he did it. he just said, mitch mcconnell, get me a far right supreme court. george w. bush all these guys said they are going to overturn roe v. wade, they all low key promised the far right that they would overturn roe. trump is doing it. whether or not, you know, the people in the progressive side, really the majority of americans think what he's doing is insane he is saying i'm going to have a trade war with china, even if it destroys their own people he's doing it. there is this sense that democrats are shrinking from doing things because they are afraid it will make people mad. i don't know how that inspires people to follow you when you won't lead. >> i completely agree, joyce. this is what makes me so angry when i see folks in the media, folks who were once solidly in his base clutch their pearls every time he does something he said he would do. he said it on the campaign trail, on the debate stage and now that he'

george w. bush.r a friend of mine who was a preacher having to counsel his friends in northwest florida and his parishioners that you could still believe in the salvation of jesus christ, our lord and savior while still opposing george w. bush's policies. that was a regular occurrence. george bush is out of power, and suddenly the halo, it's removed from above his head. and just two years later the tea party is running against whom? george w. bush. donald trump goes to south carolina, he runs against whom? george w. bush. so i don't say this because i take this personally when you make a fool of yourself, because i must tell you, i'm holding four as here. doesn't matter what the fifth card is. i'm holding four as. i know that when all the cards are laid in the middle of the table and donald trump is either in jail or back in mar-a-lago, i know what you're going to say. so start hue mimiliating yourse. there's more on the line than donald trump's year and a half left in the presidency. there's a const

congress has demonstrated continued bipartisan, almost non-partisan support since george w. bush lead the efforts to fight global aids. what we have seen is repeated foreperson cuts, broadly to foreign hiv and aid. congress in most cases has reinstated those cuts. we're hoping they'll do so this year. >> and has the state department has the secretary of state tried to fight for this budget at all? >> we haven't heard a lot. i think there is a dedicated team and hhs that are working this disease full time and consistently but as you know a white house puts together a budget from across agencies, puts that forward and everybody supports it. again, we've seen proposed cuts on foreign aid and specifically for hiv and aids. so we are working closely with congress to make sure that doesn't happen. >> it's gone with support. it's likely to pass the house what about in the senate? >> we have seen them and we anticipate and hope that they will restore full funding. with all the progress we've made, we've cut in half the amount of people out of the woods yet. unless we have the momentum an

george w. bush is a devout methodist, as you know.hen we look for a president of the united states should we look for a spiritual leader rather than a secular leader? marianne: your point is very well taken. by the way, i wasn't trying to resist anything you are asking me before. but i think the issue here does not have to do with whether george bush was a good man, which clearly he is, or if anybody else is good. i think that as american people we are good. that's not the issue. the issue is that we have circumscribed our inquiry about what it means to live a good life only within the personal sphere. we need to ask ourselves about our foreign policy, our economic policies, how tax policies. we need to find the same questions about what good is. that's how i feel about the president. america can't be rate in america is not good. hillary clinton is a devout methodist as well. the issue, and why i think the country does need someone with this perspective now, we need to apply those questions in those principles to our public policy and

nearly half of george w. bush's judicial appointments were members of the federalist society. ohn roberts and samuel alito, who both have strong ties to the group, to the supreme court, and both of president trump's supreme court picks, neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh were members of the society. they published how the executive director, this man, leonard leo, has used a network of nonprofit groups funded by donors to promote conservative judges and causes. a new frontline documentary that airs tonight on pbs looks at how the federalist society and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell have worked to build a more conservative supreme court and how they have politicized the confirmation process. michael kirk produced and directed frontline report. he joins me now. michael, thank you for being with us and thank you for making this important documentary. the intense political polarization we saw with the brett kavanaugh supreme court nomination last year, it's sort of a product of more than 30 years of work when president reagan three decades ago nominated robert bjork to the s
