though you can see george w. bush, his father george h. w. bush, president elect at the time, barack obama, former presidents clinton and carter. kate anderson power joining from her home in bethesda. bob is up from his hometown of illinois. good morning. >> caller: good morning, steve. love c-span. nice to talk with you. i've been voting straight democrat since 1972. on the southside of chicago, so, small city. i got a photograph of my late wife with mr. obama when he ran against bobby at a fundraiser. i'm a little discouraged by what i'm reading in the news. i hope this doesn't come back to the president. i would agree that there are some factors in the top of the fbi. i'm just hoping it doesn't come back to president obama. but if it does, is there any offer out there that will write a book about obama, and even when trump goes out to write a book about him unbiased? there's so much bias in the news today, c-span is terrific. we all love c-span. but i'm afraid history will then a little bit and go different directions for both different pre

presidents after barack obama was elected president during the transition period as you can see, george w. bush, his father george h.w. bush, president elect barack obama and jimmy carter. good morning. >> good morning, steve, love c-span. good morning, ms. brower. i have been voting straight democrat since 1972. i'm on south side of chicago, small city. i actually got a photograph of my late wife with mr. obama when he ran against bobby in a fundraiser at the hilton. i'm a little discouraged by what i'm reading in the news obamagate, i hope it doesn't come back to the president. i agree there are some bad actors in the top of the fbi, i'm just hoping it doesn't come back to president obama, but if it does, is there any author out there that will write about it obama and even when trump is out, write a book about trump unbiased? because there's so much bias in the news today that c-span is terrific. we all love c-span, but i'm afraid history will bend a little bit both in different directions for both different presidents, thanks a lot. >> host: bob, thanks for the call. >> there are historians

because at the end of the george w. bush administration when george w. bush's approval ratings were so bad, they were at like trump levels, after all of those convictions in the abramoff scandal and all of the guilty pleas in the abramoff scandal, including from senior officials in george w. bush's administration, after abramoff himself started serving his four years in prison, after all this had unfolded in all of its wretched glory, the democrats in congress passed and president george w. bush reluctantly signed a reform law, a new ethics law for lobbying. it was the abramoff scandal reform act. it required all sorts of new disclosures and transparency around the profession of federal lobbying. so that was passed in 2007. but now, now, right now in the middle of everything else that's going on in our country, federal prosecutors for the first time have finally brought charges against someone for allegedly violating that specific law that was passed because of the jack abramoff scandal. they have finally for the first time charged someone with breaking t

there as you said, they are famously circumspect george w. bushhen he was getting introspective would say this is sort of psychobabble but then he would tell me something that was particularly revealing. i remember one conversation with george hw bush in his very small office at kennebunkport. getting hard of hearing it was just the two of us was in his wheelchair and her legs were touching behind the desk in his office and he was talking about what he would've done with the rock if he were president. when his son was president. this pretty heavy stuff. of course that's the subject we all speculate about what 41 have done what 43 would've done? he said, in the final analysis i think i probably would have done that. it's hard to tell but i think so. he sort of like iconic at this stage in his life but i wondered, is that the answer from a former commander-in-chief?or the answer of a father who wants to protect his son? i'm not sure he really would have done what his son did but i think he was being protective at that moment when he was thinking abo

. >> including the george w. bush administration. ally interesting statement from the former president, george w. bush. i want to read part of that. "this tragedy in a long series of similar tragedies raises a long-overdue question -- how do we end systemic racism in our society? the only way to see ourselves in a true light is to listen to the voices of so many who are hurting and grieving. those who set out to silence those voices do not understand the meaning of america or how it becomes a better place." look, former president george w. bush refuses to directly criticize the current president. >> right. >> he just doesn't do it. >> right. >> but if you do a forensic analysis of that language, he says there is systemic racism. the administration says there's not. the national security adviser says there's not. the former president says to listen, indicating, or at least implying that he doesn't think that people are listening. there's a lot in that statement, april. and also, i will note, we're going to hear from former president ob

he's right about everythinges he said good i interviewed andy card who was chief of staff for george w. bush and he had that particular perspective having worked both for george w. bush and george herbert walker bush and in the section of the book i talk about what to me feels like a vice on the presidential head which, by the way, has been the job since its beginning and the pressure of the job, president bush said, to whine and be self pitying is unattractive and he is no doubt right about that but nevertheless, president from the beginning have felt the pressure of the job and one of the parts of the modern pressure cooker of the job is what andy card described which was during george herbert walker bush's presidency they knew the press would bring some big story every day that they would have to scramble to manage and they would scramble to do so in at least either knock down the story or confirm the story or give their shape to the story by 6:30 p.m. which is when the evening news broadcast started and what they had done that they had some time before the morning papers hit and before t

in the republican party some leaders are considering a biden vote, including former president george w. bush. just how significant is this development? >> guest: you know, and when it i think that it could have a major impact on the way that establishment republican voters look at this president as his reelection contest. there's a broad coalition of republican voters who didn't enthusiastically support president trump in 2016 but they voted for him out of party loyalty. they didn't feel like there was an alternative that they could support, and i could change this time around and think you already stunned to see that with prominent republican figures like former president george bush saying they cannot support them. senator mitt romney and a couple of others in the article as well that were suitable on the fish or declined to say whether they were actually support the president, speaker paul ryan, former speaker john boehner, jeb bush, obviously a candidate that trump rant against in 2016. and so a lot of these republicans, if they come out and they do more than simply say that not going to

and they agreed to do it if 43 was george w. bush agreed to do the book. i wasn't sure if he would say yes or no i knew georgia b bush a little bit he took the meeting and i was shocked the beginning of the meeting he said i'm sorry this story is retold and you are the guy to do it i was so unprepared i did not have a recording device. and he sat there put his feet up on the desk and he fingered an unlit cigar and he started talking about his dad. i realize there was so much to him there is a mystery about his father. particularly his father's early years when he went to war as an 18-year-old, signed up for the navy shot down when he was 19 his wife was scared his crewmates were not there some purpose he had on earth that he was spared and his friends were not. he went to forgo the family passes the riches of wall street and go to the fields of odessa to make his way in the oil business. he became a husband at 21, became a father and soon thereafter. lost his daughter, his second child before his 30 years old. these are amazing years that ushered him early

carl, what do you make of the george w. bush story from "the new york times" and that pushback? e new york times" reported must be desperate for the story because this is the exact same opinion and the posture that president bush had in the 2016 election. he has retired from presidential politics and not opining about it. you will notice "the new york times" story was drawn on the opinions of people familiar with his thinking. we have now seen him his chief of staff what is thinking actually is. i'm not involved, he said and i don't intend to be. >> martha: chris, when you look at this list, mitt romney, colin powell, and as we just mentioned, the spokesperson for president bush, he made no such comment and has no such input, those two are not surprising at all. i mean, that will not shock anybody that they will not support president trump, >> well, maybe not general maddox, general kelly and other high-ranking officials, colin powell is george w. bush and secretary of state. we will see if george w. bush does or does not support in the selection. we are hearing jeb bush will pro

george bush told brian lamb. guest: he is right. who wasiewed carr, chief of staff for george w. bush, and he also worked for george herbert walker bush. to me what feels like a vise on the presidential had, which, by the way, has been with the job since the beginning. the pressure of the job, president bush said, you know, to whine and be self-pity and is unattractive, and he is no doubt right about that, but nevertheless, presidents from the beginning have felt the pressure of the job, and one of the modern effects of the pressure cooker of the job is what andy carr described, which is during george herbert walker bush's presidency, they knew the press would bring some big story at most every day that they would have to scrabble to manage , and they would scramble to do so and either knock down the story or confirm the story or give their shape to the story by 6:30, which was when the evening news broadcast started, and once they had done that, they had some period of time before the morning papers hit and before the morning news television programs. what he said happened in bet

i think when you look at the statement made by former president george w. bush last week where he used the phrase systemic racism, adds how do we put an end to systemic racism, that in many ways crystallized the question for republicans now and certainly moving forward which is traditionally if you are the party of law and order, that carries with it a sub text of data, tough on crime, not terribly interested in issues of systemic inequality, even believing there's something foundationally wrong with the criminal justice system itself. and those are i think assumptions that are now going to be challenged, even just the periphery of the party, when george w. bush speaks out that way, someone like tim scott came out, talked about being racially profiled himself, congressman will herd, rising star from texas, probably running for president in 2024, nickki haley these are voices that are beginning to push the envelope further and not only attempting to connect with the black community and with minority communities with the way they talk about the issues, steve, but

even more recently the general spoke out during george w. bush's administration pressuring him to fire done rumsfeld, feeling he was not doing the right job in iraq. you heard a lot of tension between president obama and former military. but we haven't seen anything quite like this. this is a pretty big break between a president who made his support for the military a pretty i big cornerstone of his political career and the people charged with carrying out the nation's defense. they do not want to be in the streets of american cities performing law enforcement against rioters and looters, much less against peaceful protesters. the idea is a major concern to officers. i think it's a major, major crisis for this president. we will see if he backs down or deescalates it. but for the moment there's a lot of concern in the white house this could be very damaging to a commander in chief whose election is just five months away and who is depending on the support of people who like the military, trust the military and want to believe the military. >> and p

in 2002 just weeks before it took a fact the george w. bush administration withdrew from the international agreement the reason the u.s. was concerned that a court outside of america's borders would have jurisdiction over its citizens the trumpet ministration is echoing the sentiment i.c.c. cannot subject americans to arrest prosecution in jail the us is not a party to the rome statute that created the i.c.c. and even if a prosecution were to proceed it would make a mockery of due process however even after president bush pulled out of the agreement there had been times that the us has worked with the international criminal court the obama administration assisted in i.c.c. investigations including helping to expose human rights abuses in sit down start for region but now things are different trump's beef with the international criminal court is an investigation that was greenlit in march the world's only standing war crimes tribunal is looking into alleged misconduct by u.s. troops in afghanistan the probe zeroes in on crimes against humanity

president george w. bush and mrs. laura bush published a statement yesterday, and i'd like to read the last paragraph because i found it really quite moving as to how we are going to address this issue. quote, the rule of law ultimately depends on the fairness and legitimacy of the legal system and achieving justice for all is the duty for all. this will require a consistent, courageous, and creative effort. we serve our neighbors best when we try to understand their experience. we love our neighbors as ourselves when we treat them as equals, in both protection and compassion. there is a better way. the wait of empathy and shared commitment and bold action and a peace rooted in justice. i am confident that together americans will choose the better way. and i appreciate so much the entire statement, but those last several words, as i said, really touched me. on the matter before us today, many communities in our country are starting to open, including in my state of west virginia. covid has had a terrible impact on our

week, former president jimmy carter, bill clinton, george w. bush and barack obama made statements surrounding the events of the killing of george floyd. from president carter, dehumanizing people defaces us all. humanity is beautifully and almost infinitely diverse. the bonds of our common humanity must overcome the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices. president clinton remarked, 57 years ago, dr. kane dreamed of a day where his four little children would be charged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. today, that dream seems even more out of reach, and we will never reach it if we keep treating people with color with the unspoken assumption that they are less human. president bush said, this tragedy, in a long series of similar tragedies, raises a long-overdue question, how do we end systemic racism in our society? the only way to see ourselves in a true light is to listen to the voices of so many who are hurting and grieving. those who set out to silence those voices do not understand the meaning of america

"the new york times" has not updated article with that statement. your reaction? >> maybe too many editors are resigning because their staff don't like them running op-eds by senators that they don't like. this newspaper is making a mockery of journalism. how many stories have we seen, liz, "new york times" spoke with 1sources, 29 people told us, 1400 people say, they never cite any source they have get caught over and over with a story isn't true. here we go again. this is something really simple. if it is true, then you have somebody on the record who is saying it and that person comes forward and he says the president told me so, what have you. this is just a h

the new york times reporting that former president george w bush does not plan to support the president'sy, bush has not released any campaign statement himself and the times does not name their source. you may remember then candidate trump defeated jeb bush in the 2016 gop primaries. meantime, colin powell says he will support joe biden come november. president trump blasted powell on twitter, blaming him for the war in iraq. powell says the decision to support biden is personal. >> i'm close to joe biden on a social and political manner. i worked with him for 35, 40 years. he is now the candidate and i will be voting for him. >> reporter: we got a statement from the trump campaign. they say president trump has the support of a record number of republicans across the country. he leads a united party and will win in november. we have started to see, though, a few lawmakers up on capitol hill start to break ranks with the president on a certain number of issues and they do include some high profile senators, lisa murkowski of alaska and chuck grassley of iowa. he is demanding information a
