the republican party has changed so dramatically since george hw bush and george w bush were in the white house and looked just at george w bush that was the governor of the bushn the mansion and to the right and state house to our left. this is a different political party of george w bush striving to bolster democracy in the country and throughout the world and he was pro immigrant and he was in my ways not a nationalist and not xenophobic. it's a different republican party today and when the bushes talked to me on the record for the last republicans, i think theye expressed concern that donald trump would be not only the standard barer for the republican partyst but at the te a possible president and a possible successor to them in the white house. we had spoken before donald trump became president in 2016. dthe last interviews that i did with them for the book were in the latter part of 2016 and donald trump had yet to be elected president.t. >> what was the relationship between the bushes? >> i think there were a lot of misconceptions as you know being in washington during that time a

and george w. bush as the last republicans? mark: well, the republican party has changed so dramatically since george h w bush and george w. bush were in the white house. if you look just at george w. bush, who was the governor of the state and spent a lot of time in the mansion to our right and to the statehouse to our left, this is a different political party. george w. bush strove not only to bolster democracy in our country, but throughout the world. he was pro-immigrant. in many ways, it was not a nationalist, he was not xenophobic. it is a different republican party today and when the bushes talk to me on the record for the last republicans, i think they expressed concern that donald trump would be not only the standardbearer for the republican party, but at the time, a possible successor to them in the white house. we had spoken before donald trump became president in 2016. the last interview that i did with them for the book were in the latter part of 2016 and donald trump had yet to be elected

susan: they were never successful, and george w. bush never agreed that the war was a mistake and it needed to be curtailed, and this was a great disappointment to her. she thought she had made the policy case, the political case, but she was unwilling to withhold funding to support u.s. troops. that would be something inappropriate, but she did everything else she could, not even when she had the force of the public behind her could she persuade the president to change course. gretta: let's look at this debate, actually nancy pelosi during a news conference talking about the iraq war funding and president bush. speaker pelosi: the situation in iraq and the reckless economic policies of the united states speak to one issue for me, and that is the confidence that our leader. these policies are not working, but speaking specifically to iraq, we have a situation where without adequate evidence that we put young people in harm's way. next, not heating the advice of his own state department, the president preferred to accept a rosy scenario i

, feud security and national security have been the topics of presidents from bill clinton to george w. bush, barack obama and now. what has been the art of success if you can measure it from the clinton years when africa was put on the table and george w. bush did the most for africa. and also if you could talk about the lack that happened during the last four years, now focusing them on africa. >> the topics you mentioned are the essential building blocks of healthy societies, healthy economies. healthy countries the world over, not just in africa, but everywhere. peace and security, these are not topics that get resolved in four years or 40 years, they are the topics upon which durable partnerships get built in a government to government level, business-to-business and people to people. it should come as no surprise that the things that matter most of the people in communities across the continent and frankly to people and frankly to people in communities across america, are going to be the top agenda items for the summit. in each of these areas we feel that we do have a very strong recor

george h.w. bush. bill clinton. george w. bush. barack obama, who was a former colleague of ours.ald trump, and joe biden now, former colleague and senator. i have had a great honor. i want to speak a few minutes here to what i think is important here in the senate. we are in the senate. why bipartisanship is important. and it is. it is important because it is good for the country. it is important because it brings people together. it is important because we all have our differences in philosophy, the country, i believe, should be first. nation first. it is important, i also believe, because of the both we take, all of us, when we are sworn into the senate. and i want to share this with you. you have done it. you take that of, and you swear.

there was a nominee who was nominated for the circuit by george w. bush.epublicans wanted to confirm him. they forced seven votes over a very long. of time. they held all line sessions, they really tried. then we look at the dobbs decision in the effort to codify roe. they had one vote, they lost it and they could not be bothered to try again. we see this time and time again with democrats, republicans on a whole host of issues and we wonder why nothing happens. compromise doesn't happen it emerges out of a struggle when people try to debate and when different things the old to millie have to compromise along the way. host: next year, the house will be ruled by the republican party presumably kevin mccarthy will become speaker but he is facing issues with that. they have a new minority leader and a senate that his world by democrats. what do you think about this idea divided government and the quality of legislating on capitol hill? guest: it will change the discourse a little bit. i don't think the outcomes will be different. in 100 years you will have a

george w bush. a little fun trivia spot is the only dogs live at the white house under.o different administrations since. she was born at the white house and then returned and many of the executive residence staff, like chef messina, would say they were so excited to see their friend back at the white house and here you see these wonderful poinsettia trees again. it was very much a red christmas that year. and that year mrs. bush reached out again to the governor of every state, asking them again to pick out a local artist to depict their local bird or their state bird, be on display in the blue room and on thpier tables and mantles. again, more paper machÉ replicas. there you see thpresident and first lady, his pets, their cat, india and their dog spot. and barney. but you see some other favorite ight, john and the a alligator. he reportedly lived in the east room's bathtub. you see nelson george washingtons loyal horse. see the coolidge's raccoons, rebecca and raven, just to name a few. caroline kenned's famous pony, macaroni and here you see chef melania again at work

his son george w. bush, i witnessed the same commitment to public service. in my senate office as folks behind me can recite we have a mission statement, we developed it together. it says the following. our mission is to deliver bipartisan results through affected leadership with integrity, selflessness and excellence so i'll ohioans can reach their god-given potential. leadership begins with listening to constituents and understanding their concerns and delivering those results for them from paperwork to legislation. during my time in the senate i have been able to accomplish for ohio in the country by following that formula. i'm told by my staff today that as of this week, over the past 12 years there are one hundred 95 bills i have authored or co-authored that have been side into law. almost all our bipartisan and a product of the back and forth that leads to that common ground. not all these bills are monumental and my constituents will never hear about the vast majority of them because they aren't controversial and therefore the media doesn't cover it.

joe biden was born before donald trump, barack obama, george w. bush, and bill clinton.e's older than all of his four predecessors. he first entered national politics when richard nixon was president. i will say that's going to be a something that will be a challenge against him. i think he's more demonstrated any particular incident where he's been unable to fulfill the duties of the presidency because of his age not at least not in any way we've seen. but, yes, he does look old. he is old, and, you know, i think that's going to be something he'll probably have to carefully manage. he probably won't be campaigning quite in the same vigorous fashion as a younger candidate, and that could be to his detriment with a younger generation. >>> the newsroom has much more for you. the military has been expanding their presence in the arctic circle, an area vital importance to russia's defense strategy. we'll show you why. and an uncontrollable covid outbreak in china. how the country is faring after stripping back its zero covid policies. better. cough?h? fever? better. mucinex

remember how, uh, when americans george w. bush announced that democracy was established in iraq.he structures of the baaz party, which was based on judges and the army and the police, whatever you want, and then these sunni sunnis, former military personnel , were out of work and away simply because the americans threw them homeless from any position. and do you understand a lot of interesting things about russia if the soviet union has never done anything like this? yes, we developed relations, sought to create military ties, supplied weapons somewhere , created what can be called military naval bases, trained officers. but we we never pushed our partners in the middle east to attack anyone, but they did all this in order to get a loan from sberbank and return one and a half percent of the rate with bonuses. thank you monthly. pay through st. petersburg will get a chance to win a million rubles by the new year. and even here, in general, and in general, wherever sbp is accepted. pay for purchases through sbp and check the winnings on the site. sokolov's new year's discounts from

the priorities for the government by deciding how you fund the government, and right up through george w. bush, the time i was majority whip in the house, the appropriating process took the most time of the congress. it was generally open to amendment and debate and public scrutiny and relatively small packages. and i think it's incredibly unfortunate that we've now in the multiple years sort of starting at the end of the first two years of the obama presidency when the congress changed the president said, no, i've got the phone and the pen and legislative activity as we've known it in many ways has stopped and a terrible situation every year there's a big bill. four leaders, two house leaders, two senate principal leaders, my view control way too much of that process. and surely they don't want to be in that position every year, but it's not a good position to be in. starting the new congress with a cr that expires, i think, is incredibly unfair to the next change and incredibly unfair to the next majority and the house and the senate vote and i hope we find a way to get our work done, but co

panel made up of two judges appointed by trump and one appointed by another republican president, george w. bushated its rule willing take effect in seven days, barring any intervention by the supreme court. trump could still appeal the ruling and request the order be put on hold. joining us now to discuss it is former u.s. attorney and msnbc legal analyst barbara mcquade. barbara, good morning. thanks for being with us today. first let's get your reaction to the ruling itself and its potential impact. >> yeah, i don't think this ruling surprised anybody in light of the argument that was heard in this case very recently and in light of the fact it was the same three-judge panel that gave partial relief to the government in the fall saying that at least with regard to the certain subset of classified documents, those had to go back over to the government and were outside the purview of the special master. so not a surprise, but really a very strong opinion that says that probably every lawyer in america knew except for judge eileen cannon that donald trump was not entitled to this kind of relief.
