george w. bush administration had the hardest second term. they had a super rocky relationship with china including a lot of unforced errors on the part of the united states. in 2005, they're trying to recast that important relationship with china and working out disagreements with china. george w. bush white house invited the president of china hu jintao to come visit the white house. it was clear this would not work. it was clear it would be tense from the beginning. i mean in the first instance t chinese wanted hu jintao to get a full state treatment. george w. bush says no, it won't be a state's visit but an official visit, in terms of protocol and poms and circumstances. the chinese wanted hu jintao to have dinner at the white house. george w. bush says no, we want you to come but we are not going to giver y you dinner but how at lunch. the bush's administration, disaster rousley botched to the hurricane. it had to be called off the last minute because of katrina and got postponed until months

george w. bush administration had a tough second term in a lot of ways. but one of the ways in which they had a tough second term is that they had a super rocky relationship with china, including a lot of unforced errors on the part of the united states. so in 2005 they were trying to kind of recast that important relationship with china. they were trying to work out some of our worst disagreements with china and the george w. bush white house invited the chinese president at the time to come visit the white house. and again, this is just one of those times in life when it was clear this might not work. i mean, it was at least clear it was going to be very tense from the beginning. i think it was maybe even clear from the beginning that it was going to go badly. i mean, in the first instance the chinese wanted hu jintao to be given the full state treatment. george w. bush said, no, it will just be an official visit, which is one big wrung down the ladder in terms of protocol and pomp and circumstanc

george w. bush had 8 at this point, and clinton had 24. george h.w. bush had 45. i think one of the things that george w. bush learned from his father was that when you hold a press conference, you want to do it for particular reason. that it didn't do his father any good. so he cut it back. clinton did quite a few. and obama, as well. one of the reasons why they do not do it is that they are more vulnerable. they have people like tam and alexis, who know the subjects very well, they know what is going on in the white house and who are going to follow up on the questions they ask. and sometimes, if they do not follow up, then other reporters will, as well. so, there's a discipline to that process at the white house that makes it a more vulnerable kind of experience for a president. what they've done in starting with george h.w. bush is, one of the things he learned in his first couple of years was that, while he enjoyed doing the solo sessions, he liked having foreign visitors. he talked to heads of state a lot. and had them come to the white house. and, when he di

it is not easy to be less economically literate in george w. bush but everyone in trump world knows less about economic policy than george w. bush including donald trump's fake economic adviser larry kudlow who used to play an economist on tv but does not have a degree in economics. he does not have a ph.d. in anything or a master's degree. the minimal requirement for calling yourself an economist is a graduate degree in economics. preferably a ph.d. that's the minimum. everything larry kudlow has said while pretending to be an economist in the white house contradicts everything larry kudlow used to say when he was pretending to be an economist on cnbc. and so the economic buffoonery of donald trump and incompetent band of economic advisers is catching up with them. yesterday the stock market rallied a bit after donald trump announced that he was once again delaying imposing more tariffs on china that he had been threatening to impose but when donald trump explained why he was delaying those tariffs until after the christmas shopping season, even he

but this week he has moved further than george w. bush ever moved on this issue, then previous republican presidents before george w. bush ever moved on this issue. if we're going to criticize the president as we do sometimes at this table, we need to give him credit that he in fact is trying to move the republican party in a different direction than it's been done before. >> david jolly, i ask you, you heard chris christie there say leadership, we have to get him credit, he's moving the party further than ever moved on this issue, further than george w. bush, any other republican president, he's going there. and today? >> chris christie was lying and all apologies were a bad leaders a bad person. what he's done is put himself above the best interest of the nation. nra has control over republicans for three reasons. one is the money. we always talk about the money. the other is mobilization of voters, they're one of the most effective groups of mobilizing constituencies. politicians respond to that as well. the third though you can go bac

it was deathly not trump's turn. >> there that disposition, when a republican president, george h. w. bushe party, kevin did pretty well, a lot people than people thought in new hampshire but he did not win any didn't win any primary. that was against george h. w. bush who did have a lot of people within the party upset at him. >> we put the poll on the screen and it seems like it's still a bit of an outlier. how bad would have to get republicans to start getting nervous. it may be entertaining this idea. >> that you would have to see this in republican party, and the voters. i'm not sure we are seeing this. and the criticism of donald trump is that he is not playing outside his base. he goes to the rallies and in extreme anything was so many people. it's too the narrowband. but the band is republican. so until there is a dissatisfaction -- weren't we told it doesn't materialize. >> they are technically already writing, bless him. are any of these people remotely threats, even spoilers? >> i don't think so, things would have to rapidly change. the irony of donald trump, i was a scam, and o

. >> and to be clear, the way donald trump is behaving is completely different from what george w. bush did. george w. bush and george h.w. bush were extremely honorable how they dealt with the fed. and trump's just throwing it out the window. you know, the problem on these economic issues is it's obviously hypocritical. it's gross, but at this point, it's hard to even be surprised about it. >> yeah. so we've got the trade war. a new trade war announcement today. he is going to post a 10% tariff on 300 billion on chinese goods in september. markets tanked on that. that comes after the rate cut he got. here is my theory on this. this is maybe imputing too much. donald trump is using the trade war as a fed that is located in the white house that he can then when he solves the trade war, when he comes out and says we've got a great new deal, like it's going to make the economy go up again. >> yeah. i mean, i would imagine there is part of that. his theories on trade are just wrong. >> yes, that's part of it too, my colleague paul krugman has been good at explaining. i think part of this is

where is george w. bush?ake your point that people who have seen him up close, but you could say the same thing about h.r. mcmaster, rex tillerson has sort of told his story. but why do so many of them stay silent at this point? >> i have no idea. i think a lot of them who think this isn't my fight. or it would be disloyal for me, but your loyalty is not supposed to be the president. it's supposed to be the country. that's who you take the oath to. >> just listening to mattis just there and reading his essay, it reminded me of what republicans used to tell me very early on in this administration, which was don't worry about it, we're going to have -- he's going to have some generals. there are going to be some adults in the room and it's not going to bad. they are going to stop him. and what ended up happening is donald trump fired all of the adults in the room, and this goes into our last conversation. i think where we are today is that donald trump has a bunch of yes men, yes women around him, and they play

george h. w. bush and the 20 spot, he is father and son duo as well. i think it'll be fascinating at the end of the term presidency when we survey again because we went through three days of national scene setting of the presidency. presidential funerals are a tool that they used to put the image for prosperity. we witnessed scenes being repeated throughout the three days of the funeral. about integrity, here is him and being a decent man. it'll be interesting to see where he is next time. bill clinton at 15, george w bush is in 33rd spot, the last survey he was one spot lower and in the bottom ten, he moved up out of the bottom ten of adding another president to the mix. he has really difficult things for the assessment of time and it'll be differen interesting tt happens with his rating. barack obama in his debut in 12 position, a good start to his assessment. the idea was to get to interested and showcase the work of the wonderful historians. we have an incredibly rich website attached to this book. every one of the interviews from which this is dra

and, of course, george w. bushid get elected in a close election but the psychology was prioritizing something else above obvious electability. what's the psychology of the electorate? >> to be honest i think it's different depending on your generation. if you're an older voter, particularly african-american voter what's at stake is getting him out of obvious because of racism, white supremacy and on and on and on but if you're a young voter and hear that someone like joe biden talk about working across the smile, that doesn't work for you. you are more of an ideological voter and what joe and jill biden are saying let's not have that ideological debate today but let's get him out of office so electability works for a period of time because there's strength behind it and you can push away the distinctions between medicare for all and not and the public option and not. you know, you're taking a bet that voters aren't going to care as much about about it but when you talk about older previous elections i think about

the grand old party of george w. bush won 40% of latino votes in 2004. in the battle for voter support, the gop back then refused to accept the outright defeat it had suffered in seeking african american votes. well, today donald trump is leading the republicans of 2019 in a way that forfeits the votes of hispanic americans. it's become a party of, by, and for white americans. this is not what republicans who won the civil war and passed the 15th amendment had in mind. they didn't fight for the right of freed slaves to vote so that african americans and other minorities would vote for the democrats. but isn't this the statement president trump is making day in and day out, that he wants white votes and intends to win with white votes? this is something that republican senators and other office holders should think about. in their lemming-like way of following trump, they're identifying their grand old party as new party of trump-style white nationalism. this isn't going to go away. even if trump gets beaten like a drum ne

thinking about my own experience with george w. bush and hurricane katrina. donald trump deciding to cancel plans to travel to poland but at the top he's got acting officials at the all of the leadership posts atop of homeland security and fema and their big news the last few days on border security is they were taking money from fema to pay for it. >> yeah, this is the stage -- this is the kind of story where people immediately get cynical about people talking about it through a political lens. obviously we have a life-andlife death scenario in a storm in florida. these are traditionally, like you said, make-or-break moments for presidencies. what's unique about this is there was a few days of a buildup. it's entirely unpredictable. and you have a president who placed himself right in the middle of this partly by the fema funds, he's canceled a trip and the other part is he owns property in palm beach county, mar-a-lago. so there's a personal component to this and you would hope politics doesn't overcome too much of this and first responders and people affec

john: working for george w. bush was a unique experience in the sense that he had, when i went to work for him, he was governor of texas, and he had gotten elected to that position on a reform agenda. four things he wanted to do for texas, a policy driven campaign. when i joined the bush operation, he was a full-fledged presidential candidate, and that was also a campaign on issues. so it was a very disciplined process with him. you had your policy team, the speechwriting team would be given the policy, and it was our job to turn it into a nice, presentable, persuadable speech, but it was a very good policy operation. got up toresident give a speech on whatever it was he was proposing, it represented what he really wanted to say about it and also represented a very disciplined process that for some weeksay or months prior to the event itself. that workinge case with george w. bush, we found ourselves in many ways, in a crisis presidency. things kept happening. theultimate was 9/11, and monday after 9/11, the presiden

. >> when george w. bushed president you may remember that his father said he wasn't going to meadow he wasn't going to offer advice when it was asked for. george w. bush very rarely asked his father for advice. but his mother did not make this promise. [laughter] and his mother felt empowered to tell him what she thought about what he was doing. tom mentioned barbara was one of two women to be the wife and mother of presidents. the other is abigail adams. if you said that to barbara bush she would noted that abigail adams died before john quincy adams became president. she's the only one who has been the wife and mother of presidents and in a position to influence both of their white house administrations. the issue in which they had the biggest clashes was the course of the iraq war. not the decision to go into iraq by her son but the course of the war after that. she would be candid with him she would tell him he was listening to the wrong people that he was giving vice president cheney too much power list

and these were world leaders george w. bush was able to work even in the she post sort of overheated crisis. when the policies resulted in the publics and some european countries being out protesting all day, george bush could still sit down behind closed doors and deal with poverty programs for africa. he could still sit down and talk about collaborating on the war on terror and intelligence sharing. it is truly extraordinary, and i wonder, one, do you see this the way ben rhodes sees this with america being out of the equation, and who, what do you see as our way back? >> there's no other way to see it then you had president macron taking up the mantel here and it was more less of a g7 but a g6 plus one in terms of president macron taking the lead in those that share likeminded view on climate change and trade war on china, which the fed said earlier this week was hurting the world economy. and i think that's why president trump tried to seem very conciliatory at the end of these press conferences because he doesn't want to g

i thought it was bad when george w. bush was president. it's never been this bad. >> no question. i regret to come to the conclusion that you're right. i hate to say that, because maybe i suffer from stockholm syndrome. i actually like working with them. i like what they do. >> sean: i'm teasing. >> it's important to get along with the press. what i really do regret is that the press is so biased, they don't even know it. they were so soft on president obama. the american people know that they are biased. the press is overwhelmingly liberal. >> sean: how did they miss the biggest story? abuse of power, corruption. look at hillary's rigged investigation. >> you know what, sean? it comes from having a liberal view. if you have a liberal view, you come out immediately with the context that democrats do things for good and generous reasons. therefore, you don't want to investigate against democrats like you do republicans. why aren't they going after joe biden, a presidential candidate about what he knew about the trump campaign? >> sean: oh, but he's asked him. barack obama was asked

the candidates who ran, this is the midterm before the presidential saying that i voted with george w. bush 75% of the time. he was a popular president post 9/11. the country wanted to heal, the country wanted to come together. they saw george bush as someone who was on the job trying to protect the homeland. remember the so-called security moms? they wanted eggs commander in chief who felt that they could keep them safe and secure. that combined with the fact john kerry who eventually became our nominee didn't fight back some of the attempts to swift about him, so to speak. it was a different political season. the difference this time is the president has not been able to motivate democrats to come his way. he has not been able to appeal to women, the majority of women, to come his way. i think the president will face a headwind, and it's not based on what happened the last ten days, it's in the way he's governed almost, you know, looking at his base and learned not to looking at the majority of the american people. i do think there are some fault lines for democrats of the first one is wh

george w. bush left the white house with his approval in the toilet, couldn't buy a good story. it's what they do. it donald trump did one thing, the most important thing he has done for the republican party, a party i am a proud member of, is that he taught us to simply cower when they tell you a racist, took a shower when they call you these terrible names, is the wrong strategy. the right strategy is to go right back at them, and the american people -- at least 50% of them -- are overjoyed that the values that conservatives care about have a great champion who is willing to fight as hard back as the liberals and these reporters are against us. >> sean: americans knew -- and they knew trump was a disrupter, and iconoclast, that he said he was going to clean up the swamp, and he's going to break things in the process. and guess what? he's getting the job done. >> news flash for the press corps: they think barack obama was popular when he left office? two-thirds of the people in the country thought the country was going in the wrong direction, that's why trump won. trump present
