george w. bush and putin coming together. george w. bush certainly sought a reset with russia. e was very chummy with putin. we all remember the fishing trip. that was later in the process. their very first joint news conference, george w. bush's at the podium. putin was standing next time. he said, russia is not the enemy of the united states. the cold war is over. putin didn't get what he wanted from bush. some historians have argued, this is a big reason why he became, he becomes, more authoritarian and autocratic. >> i wouldn't put the u.s. at the center of the story in that way. i think putin became autocratic for internal reasons. it speaks to his personality. his sense of power. the vision that he has for russia eventually he latches on to a very, sort of conserved in the sense, of reactionary autocratic vision. of russia's past. of russia's future. i don't think that's a function of anything george w. bush did, anything the u.s. did. although, the u.s. is always the foil to putin's russia. i think more to the point, when it comes to where those two figures diverge, the i

host: george w. bush or george h.w. bush? guest: george w. bush, when they first started including him in the -- george h.w. bush, when they first started including him in the national polls, people thought at that time maybe -- there were polls that showed half of voters thought he was his father, but it did turn out to be a good predictor of the fact that he was a heavy front runner in 2000. host: bruce in alabama, republican, you are up with jim antal. go ahead. caller: i want to talk about january 6. i am here. host: go ahead. caller: i think -- i think trump said he called in the national guard and told pelosi about it but she turns around and claimed she didn't have the authority and left it at that. i don't believe trump will be able to take it in 2024. it will be ron desantis running. host: would you vote for that ticket, bruce? caller: i love both of them, nikki haley, i mean, i think she needs to run for president. or ron desantis to run for president and her as vice president. guest: there's certainly a lot of republicans who are ta

bush and putin come on together and george w bush certainly sought a reset with russia. he was very chummy with putin. we all remember the fishing trip, and that was later in the process. they're very first joint news conference george w bush was at the podium putin was standing next to him. he said russia is not the enemy of the united states. the cold war is over, right, but putin didn't get what he wanted from bush and some historians have argued. this is a big reason why he became he becomes more and more authoritarian and autocratic. i wouldn't put the us at the center of the story and that way. i think that putin became autocratic for internal. okay reasons, it speaks to his personality his sense of power. the vision that he has for for russia eventually he latches on to a very, you know, sort of conservative in the sense of reactionary autocratic vision ultra rationalist. yes of russia's past and of russia's future, and i don't think that that's a function of anything george w bush did or anything at the us did although the us has always the the foil to to putin's

host: george w. bush or george h.w. bush? guest: george w. sh, when they first started including him in the -- george h.w. bush, when they first started including him in the national polls, people thought at that time maybe -- there were polls that showed half of voters thought he was his father, but it did turn out to be a good predictor of the fact that he was a heavy front runner in 2000. host: bruce in alabama, republican, you are up with jim antal. go ahead. caller: i want to talk about january 6. i am here. host: go ahead. caller: i think -- i think trump said he called in the national guard and told pelosi about it but she turns around and claimed she didn't have the authority and left it at that. i don't believe trump will be able to take it in 2024. it will be ron desantis running. host: would you vote for that ticket, bruce? caller: i love both of them, nikki haley, i mean, i think she needs to run for president. or ron desantis to run for president and her as vice president. guest: there's certainly a lot of republicans who are talk

. >> tucker: this the guy the george w. bush accused as the george washington of our age. i really haven't heard anyone in washington say a single thing about this. >> from the beginning as you know as well as anyone tucker it was a very concerted effort to eliminate all ability sets any questions and when was a question of which do diplomatically whether we should risk our own money and potential nuclear exchange with russia with ukrainian borders disputes got called a common agent or russian asset and this the strategy that were using to prevent us in united states from exercising freedom to say what our government should stay in that war. in the name of democracy they shut it down. thanks much for that. >> thanks tucker. >> tucker: tulsi gabbard is also on this blacklist she is also some some of the ukrainian government so she should be censored she served the united states government after joining us. thank you so much for coming on what is your reaction to finding yourself on this blacklist? >> i see the hypocrisy of this blacklist is and frankly by the american peopl

that is also something that top aides to president george w. bush told me. you remember when lucy was first elected speaker the first woman in the history of our country and george w. bush went up to deliver the state of the union address in he acknowledged her and mentioning her father and according to his top aide bush felt bad that pelosi never reciprocated. he was making an offer let's act in a cooler manner than where the politics are heading today and that was not something she was willing to do. >> it's interesting to read that passage and i thought about it and wondered if she thinks if i relinquished any notion -- >> she would say boehner didn't deliver. what's the point of bipartisanship if you can't deliver to the people? she thinks the most damaging legislation she should push through is not the affordablee care act it was the bank bailout in 2008 when we had the financial meltdown and nobody like bailingob out tanks. in american politics bailing out banks is not the most popular thing to do. congress said if we don't do this we will head into a d

here is an interesting story a doctor many years ago under president george w. bush he started working in the white house medical department, he stayed in this job, he later worked as a doctor for two subsequent presidents. buck you and donald trump, so romy jackson knows a lot about how much power it takes to run a country during the 2020 presidential campaign. jackson sat new watching joe biden's speech. and what he saw in biden greatly disturbed him as a doctor, biden. just announced he's not running for president for the us senate. look at this. i'm here to ask you for help where i'm from. you won't get very far unless you ask for help. my name is joe biden us senate democratic nominee rooney jackson saw this and tweeted some obvious remarks to biden before it went down. the analysis of cognitive abilities is too far to go. our country deserves it 20 minutes later recalls jackson in his new memoir barack obama sent him an email saying i must express my disappointment at your cheap attacks on joe biden. it was unprofessional. i expect more from you wrote. obama is

he gave them all a free pass george w bush. they're all going to be rehabilitated. they're all going to be treated as great statesman. one day, i mean, they gave president obama a nobel prize for not being george w bush. the question, of course, the world tap, dancing around or avoiding as does it work as torture work doesn't, or people that have information that are part of an underground apparatus, a terrorist organization, revolutionary organization accomplished organization, whatever organized form of collective alan chip i, b, they won't break now and the people that you pick up that are innocence. yes. you tell them to pieces, you'll destroy them, you'll ruin them. i think that a few of the people that passed passed through my hands as an interrogator did have intelligence. but most the vast majority of the people that i dealt with work just being picked up because they were males of military age and they were just get swept up. and his raves, i don't think torture is always being used as a method to gain information or, or confessions. it's often just being us

. >>> a former federal judge appointed by george w. bush is now standing up to trump, debunking his election lies point by point. he is my guest. let's go out front. >>> good evening. breaking news. a source telling cnn that a washington police officer has corroborated details regarding the heated exchange the former president had with secret service detail when he was told he could not go to the u.s. capitol in march with the rioters after the rally. according to a source, the officer who was there, in the motorcade, not second hand, he was there, has recounted what he saw to the january 6 committee. you may remember we first heard this was a heated exchange. trump wanted to go, and his detail said that he couldn't. we heard about that from cassidy huthinson. she testified, under oath, about what she said she was told about the incident. >> the president says something to the effect of, i am the president, take me up to the capitol now. to which bobby responded, we have to go back to the west wing. the president reached up towards the fron

she george w bush. whom she told me was the worst present may a president who made the worst mistake in american history, which is saying a lot which is the iraq war. she did not have a high view of george w bush in his presidency and even though it cost her members to push to the legislation. she did it because she the because the alternative just looked to him uh, tell us she took on a particularly like iconic status during the trump years and walking out the you know, the orange coat with the big collar of shredding out of the of the white house to the cameras there. do you think that she had trump's number because she'd encountered him and she'd seem in him in baltimore. she'd seen him and san francisco politics. she'd encountered people like him before. well, donald trump's very distinctive figure are there. i mean, there are people i'm not sure i'd know a lot of people who are like don't even jersey and he's like everybody you go before land. he's like everybody knows that if you grew up in jersey

these countries were targeted by the george h w bush, or george w bush, the senior vice president of ronald reagan and bribed with hundreds of millions of dollars. and these monies were given the countries in exchange for their acquiescence and their submission to american military and economic and political objectives. no ring of nato military bases is being formed around russia. the u. s. and nato have over $600.00 military base is world wide. russia has just 18, but the west still claims that russia has aggressive intent by turning those russians. the soviets into this dangerous boy, man that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy to create this image of the soviets. as out for world conquest, which was not the case, then for now with nato should have died, but they will give it meaning. it is about infected created by, by nature nature, business machine. because you must remember, if nature, what is bad. shareholders in united states and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions and millions they'd only have one year instead of 2 yards each . there

he joined the white house medical unit many years ago under president george w. bush. he stayed in that job and went on to serve as physician for two subsequent presidents. ronnie jackson knows a lot about what it takes to run the country. during the 2020 presidential campaign jackson was up sell at home watching joe biden deliver a speech. what he saw joe biden say about that him deeply as a physician. he just announced he was candidate for u.s. senate. watch. >> i'm here to ask you for help. where i'm come from you don't get far unless you ask. my name is joe biden, i'm a democratic candidate from the united states senate. >> tucker: ronnie jackson's all that and then went on twitter and made the obvious point, joe biden before this goes any further should undergo a cognitive examination, the country deserves that. within 20 minutes, jackson recalls in his new memoir, barack obama sent him an email. i have to express my disappointment that the cheap shot you took a joe biden via twitter, obama said. it was unprofessional. i expect better. that wasn't just obama speak

you will one of george w bush's speech writers at the time. in fact, you correct what i missed the axis of evil phrase that he used in his 2002 state of the union speech. the speech touched on iraq, north korea, and iran. and said, states like these and that terrorist allies constitute an access of evil arming to threaten the peace of the world. in any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic. looking back, are you not trouble that that speech that you worked on might have been used to, but just a war that was built on lies and intelligence that didn't exact false intelligence that people knew was roles. since that speech, north korea has become a nuclear power and around is to come on the verge of where power is in the world as a much more dangerous place because of north korean nuclear weapons and for and gets nuclear weapons, the world will be more dangerous place to get so president bush, some of the american people and some of the world's attention to the danger of these regimes, in the case of around one was leadin

only job has devised my guess this week from canada is david from former white house stuff in george w bush's administration. now writer and columnist for the atlantic magazine. he says the stakes were and still are frighteningly high. it's certainly really to worry about. i can't, i wish i could give me more content like this. i mean, we do have the future of american democracy on the ballot. that's the number one valid issue last month for us to bring course divisions over 2 of the most contentious issues abortion and gun control. so is america's political fabric, a breaking point? that all the warning light flashing red? why is donald trump full of praise for putin and do the russian have a point when they refer to the iraq war and the cues, the west of hypocrisy, key questions this week on complex. i, david from welcome to complex own. thank you. were told that on january 6 last year, a desperate donald trump arms flailing, saw to lead an armed mob to capitol hill in an effort to overturn an election that he just lost. what would have happened if he succeeded? what you focus on the last a

starting with george w. bush there was a national debt that was slightly under $6 trillion. so, so you of that bush, obama, trump, biden, and over the course of the last 20 years it is actually staggering the growth of our national debt. it is gone from less than 6 trillion the $30 trillion, a five-time increase. so both republicans and democrats they just spent too much. >> host: from sherry in virginia, independent line. >> caller: thank you for s c-span. thank you for taking my call. it is interesting how the billions of dollars that are being allocated to these programs don't end up in the hands of the people who they are intended for. rather thanho talking about smaller government, perhaps we should be talking about more efficient government because there are many, many reasons why there are people who need to be provided with funding so they can get the services they are guaranteed supposedly that need to have happen. the only way to make that happen is with the federal government stepping up and doing the work that we need to do in terms of that, in terms of the work

>> one wedding -- but george h. w. bush's daughter in the chapel, the evergreen chapel. what's a wedding. >> small from facebook asks what was the biggest surprise you ever had while working at camp david? >> the day the sprinklers went off when president clinton was checking golf balls behind aspen. the sprinklers go off, i didn't witness it, but secret service were watching nearby. he moved -- the sprinklers went off again. he threw his clubs into the golf cart and went out to the driving range, back wasn't secured, all the clubs fell over the asphalt. it's humorous but you can understand the frustration of someone dealing with that. i tried to make light of it that night when he left camp david without finding the water hole. it was a poor attempt at humor. you learn that balance of wind to be serious, not too serious, and went to not be too humorous. that was the funniest time. fortunately, i had no serious incidents during my time. tough things are going on in the world. i left a month before 9/11 occurred. there's a whole, we spent a lot of time describing with tha

george w. bush is a special case because of 9/11. you see the pattern over and over. one of the things it shows is the public is fickle in many ways. there is always an evan flow. what we see is republicans will win one house or two houses in the midterm elections. they will then make a lot of people unhappy with what they are doing with the majority, and then biden could cruise to reelection just like those previous presidents did. host: one of the issues is the issue of abortion, project lead after the roe v. wade decision. a lot of people looking for the president to do things that could counteract that, more than what he could do. what is the administration to think of this issue and where should it go as far as counteracting what the supreme court did? guest: if you talk to the administration their argument is we are doing everything we can. he can issue some executive orders that govern the policies of the executive branch, but he cannot single-handedly pass a national codification of roe v. wade. they're not 50 votes in the senate to do that. there's only so mu

a huge number of books that came out about the bush administration and surprised me, i think w's -- george w. bush's memoir was pretty good and i think he was fairly circumspect about things especially years later. other books, for example, dick cheney's memoir which i called, i ain't sorry for nothing, because he really was unapostle unapologetic but the bush administration. there were other books but all the great recession and i think one of this most fascinating one was by michael lewis and that was called the big short and it is quite good. there's so much great -- including the 9/11 commission report which was well-written. >> peeking of michael lewis, carlos, later the -- one of your top 12 books. >> yes. i'm a big fan of his work ever since fliers poker, and the fifth risk, came with a lot less hoopla than most michael lewis books, which you know that they're coming and everything. this one just arrived for me and i didn't know it was coming, and it's just a -- to me one of the most useful books of the last five years, and that -- especially it was written before the pandemic but b

that was associate supreme court justice samuel alito in 2006 appointed by president george w. bush justice alito is the author of the leaked opinion draft, which seeks to overturn the roby wade decision. retiring justice stephen breyer was nominated by president clinton in 1994 and confirmed that same year. he too was asked about the roe v wade case and how he would rule if a similar case came before the high court. basically, i think that word liberty. in the 14th amendment has been recognized. by most almost all modern judges on the supreme court and is pretty widely that that word liberty. includes a number of basic important things that are not those only listed in the first eight amendments to the constitution. in the ninth amendment helps make that very clear. because it says don't use that fact of the first eight. reason to the conclusion that there are no others. so it isn't surprising to me. that there is widespread recognition. that that word liberty does encompass something? on the order of privacy people have described. those basic rights not mentioned. in words like co

eastern on afterwords, former george w. bush white house press secretary on how the mainstream media has a leftist bais and his book. why the press gets so much wrong and just doesn't care. he's interviewed by fox news senior political analyst. watch book tv every sunday on c-span2 and find a full schedule on your program guide or watch online any time at booktv.org. >> c-span is your unfiltered view of government. we're funded by these television companies and more, including cox. >> homework can be hard. but squatting in a diner for internetwork is even harder. that's why we're providing lower income students access to affordable internet, so homework can just be homework. cox connect to compete. >> cox, along with these other television providers, giving you a front roe seat to democracy -- row seat to emsy. -- to democracy. >> on the house floor today, republican leader kevin mccarthy talked about congressional spending, inflation and his views on the u.s. recession. this is about half an hour. mr. mccarthy: mr. speaker, i t

to fight everything that breathes, having worked in the administrations of ronald, reagan and george w. bushe really was an active supporter of the invasion of iraq, called for sending american troops to iran and was known as one of the most ardent. hawks are statements. she fits his image such that it will give the vat a scandalous image, but at the same time it does not reveal anything new to us, but torment us. that is, i i understand that america, in general, was behind that coup attempt in venezuela and not only behind it. well, it's great that it's 3 years later. after these events, after all, one of the employees of the administration, trump, represents a de-factor to confirm this he came to moscow in 2001 to announce the withdrawal to washington from the treaty about a in 2018 from other smd did not want to normalize relations with north korea resisted the withdrawal troops from syria, shortly before his resignation in 2019, he visited poland, belarus and ukraine and stated that he was concerned about issues security in this region. so maybe it is worth waiting for new revelations in

. >> that was laura bush, first lady of texas, and wife of presidential candidate george w. bush in a spring 2000 c-span interview. the bushes moved into the white house the following january. you will hear laura bush, in her own voice, here in american history tv, how she experienced her eight years as first lady featuring footage from c-span video library. first, just eight months into their term, the former librarian and teacher was transformed into a wartime first lady by the terrorist attacks of september 11th, 2001. she called with reporters on september 12th after visiting pentagon victims in the >> the people behind me are hospital. this is laura bush in her own words. some of the members of that emergency response team. so, besides having the chance to visit with three of the victims who were here at walter reed, whose lives will be changed forever, like all of ours, and by the, way who are all in very great shape, and look like they will recover fully. besides the chance to thank them for their service to our country, we give them their wishes for a very speedy recovery

. >> el expresidente barack obama estaba conmocionado, también george w. busho estadounidense sigue al alza, la economía añadió 372 mil nuevos puestos de trabajo en junio, pero falta para llegar a niveles prepandemia, en febrero del 2020: (cifras en pantalla) el mes pasado, la cifra era de 152 millones, aún hay 524 mil empleos que antes de iniciar restricciones por el coronavirus . >> para los pequeños negocios que sufren pola pandemia, los Ángeles está renovando programas de ayudas para pagar el alquiler, enrique chiabra tiene la información, ¿qué tal? buenas noches . >> ¿qué tal? buenas noches, es la segunda ronda de programa de asistencia para la renta de pequeños negocios, son entre 2500 y 15 mil para empresas localizadas en los Ángeles, con este dinero pueden cubrir gastos de alquiler, pero los negocios elegibles tienen que haber estado funcionando desde el primero de marzo del 2020 y deben demostrar que tienen aprietos financieros por la crisis de salud . >> subvención de hasta 15 mil dólares o seis meses de renta, se abre el 11 y se tiene que mandar ante

in vietnam to the botched evacuation from afghanistan last year, every u.s. president since george h. w. bush is perhaps the last person to have any inclination to succeed. one way or another, the wars in afghanistan and iraq were cleared up. the crumb of relations with china and russia, the huge wealth inequality in the united states and the complete absence of plans or strategies on almost all issues, be it energy, social security, the environment. environment and migration suffrage and national security. here are the signs of a nasty america that is in danger of becoming even more gadge, the most pressing question is how the states get out of this ugly situation, firstly the united states must show leadership and professionalism at home and abroad. there can only be one president in america today. this is joe biden. he should gather the leaders of the congress at his residence in kandy and not let anyone out until an agreement is reached on three or four key ones. a cross that will change the nation one of the most important thing is how to get congress to work and find sound bipartisan so

area you were press secretary to president george w bush, and i'm sitting here thinking is there any press secretary? who's ever been in the white house? would say oh, you know the press treated my guy or yeah, my guy fairly and i have no complaints, isn't it? just part of being in the big game in the combat of the modern world, especially modern media to say, you know what? i don't think my candidate was treated fairly. yeah, but that's my point about president trump. i wouldn't necessarily say i didn't vote for him in 2016. i did vote for him in 2020. i don't work for donald trump and again one i try to call the balls and strikes as i see them. so yes if you're a partisan working for a candidate in office. yeah, you always feel like the press is tough on you, but let's go to a neutral source. there was a study done. it's in my book of the coverage of the five most recent presidents and they determined that no none of the last five god as soft and as easy coverage in their first 60 days in office as joe biden, he got easier and softer coverage than barak obama, of course the two who
