george h. w. bush and the family were supporters of planned parenthood until george h. w. bush had to change his position in 1980 in order to become ronald reagan's vice presidential running mate. an act of ultimate cynicism in politics. no one working in american politics believed that george h. w. bush from connecticut was really opposed to abortion. it is simply what he had to say to get on the republican ticket which was running on an anti- abortion platform that the candidates never emphasized but made sure anti-abortion voters knew about them. it was the most cynical public act we had yet seen in presidential or vice presidential candidate. the first of president bush's sons did not have to engage in a public reversal of his position by the time he became a politician running governor of texas. george w. bush aligned himself with the anti-abortion politics of the republican party that had taken hold by that time in the 1990s . the next presidential campaigning republican forced by republican politics, not by principle, to get in line with the party on abortion was mit

george h.w. bush, or the decision simply not to vote. same thing in 2000, when george w. bush was running against al gore. the stakes did not seem high. that's why enough people voted for ralph nader as a third- party candidate in florida to give the electoral college, thanks to the supreme court decision, to george w. bush. bush, from the connecticut bush family, who pretended to be texan. he couldn't be a real, hard- core texas conservative, could he? the stakes couldn't be that high. it turns out a vote for george w. bush was a vote for samuel alito to take a seat on the supreme court in 20 years later, write the opinion overturning roe versus wade. so yes. you can and should blame donald trump, but you should have to blame the people who voted for donald trump for president in 2016 and you have to blame the voters who voted for george w. bush and the voters who voted for george h.w. bush before that. if michael dukakis had won, or if al gore had won, then donald trump could have put three right-wing judges on the supreme court and they still wouldn't have a majority. f

the george w. bush -- did george w. bush stand before the american people appeared say we're going to give one of our strongest enemies in the world a massive ally? did we think that iraq would become a base to attack american troops in the middle east? did we think it would empower one of the most dangerous regimes? we're now funding israel, as i think that we should, to defend itself against attacks that are originating in iran when the same people who are calling for more war all over the world were the same people who caused us to start a war that empowered iran. there's a certain irony in this, a certain sadness that i have that we never seem to learn the lessons of the past. we never seem to ask ourselves why is it that we keep on screwing up american foreign policy, why is it that we keep on making our country weaker, even though we say that we intend to make it stronger. here's another thing that we should learn from the iraq war. something that i as a christian care a lot about and think think that -- and i thin

because george w. bush invited to the first lunch he had in 1991 at the white house with george h.w. bush. her and barbara bush were at the table. she said i put my texas son at the other end of the table. and she said, is he the black sheep of the family? and of course george w. bush can hear her. then he pipes up, well, maybe. who's the black sheep in your family? so begins the banter between the bush family and the royals. it developed in a friendly way. i think the fact that george w. bush refers to it in those familiar terms, a look a mother with only give a child, reflects how there was a family, almost, connection between the royal couple, between the queen and that bush family, partly because of the history. and just partly because they clicked. they got each other. peter: the cover photo on your book, "royal audience," where was that taken? mr. charter: one thing i would say is that -- one thing i would say is that the two most famous photographs of the queen with an american president is both with

he was george herbert walker bush's secretary of defense, vice president of the united states. this is not his party. it is not george h w bush's party, it is not george w. bush's party. put on your historian hat. what happened to the republican party? rep. cheney: that is a big topic. i think several things. i think first of all, there was a really real sense in many parts of our country that there are people who feel their voices are not heard. when i represented wyoming, that was the case. people feel the federal government is making decisions, they don't have a voice and what trump did, it is uncomfortable to say his name in a cathedral. what the former president did was to tap into that, but in a way that the trays people so that's part of it. and i think it is important to think about people supporting the president. you cannot describe the people, you cannot attribute the same characteristics to all of his supporters. there are some who believe the lie. very many patriotic americans who have had patriotism turned into a weapon. but there are also people, the people who know that he is a threat, they know he is dis

he was introduced by former republican president george w. bush. lican president, george w. . >> first of all, i want to thank today's panelist. the discussions were relevant, fascinating, intelligent, and we can't thank you enough for participating in our conference. secondly, i hope a lesson from the conversation was that if the united states withdraws, the world gets worse. and that if we expect to be secure at home, we had better worry about the lives of others abroad. [applause] he works at the george bush intelligence center which in my case is not oxymoronic. we are really lucky to have them here today. he is knowledgeable, he is a thoughtful guy. so please welcome to the stage cia director bill burns. [applause] >> cia director bill burns. [applause] >> that's all right. president, thank you very much. i'm david kramer, the executive director director of the george w. bush institute and it's a real honor for me to be here with bill burns the director of the cia. he director of the cia. i want to underscore one thing. monday morning we are wondering what the plan b wou

can george w. bush be charged with allegedly lying to congress about iraq if a far left prosecutor decides to cook up charges? can joe biden be charged for killing a family afghanistan during his deadly withdrawal? here is how trump's legal team put it earlier today listen. >> the implications of the court's decision here extend far beyond the facts of this case could president george w. bush have been sent to prison for obstructing an official proceeding or allegedly lying to congress to induce war in iraq? could president obama be charged with murder for killing u.s. citizens abroad by drone strike? >> sean: only the constitutional judges on the court seem to favour limited immunity or absolute immunity but in other words that would be a huge win for donald trump official acts carried out by a president would be immune from prosecution however a president could still be charged for personal acts like taking bribes russian oligarchs joe has dinner with cafÉ milano take a listen. >> if an incumbent who

third forces, however, they were already associated with the defeats not of republicans, like george w. bush fatal for democrats. in this sense, the elections of 2000 began, when for the seat president of the united states competed with republican george w. bush, then vice president of bill clinton, al gore. we all remember the unprecedented counting of votes in florida, then for a long time they could not determine the winners, so it is believed that the person who brought confusion to everything that was happening was the left-wing lawyer, ralph nader, his participation confused all the cards for the democrats. in the end, after the decision was left to the will of the us supreme court, where conservatives dominated, as a result, george bush became younger president of the united states. there is an opinion that it was because of you that elgor lost the election. no, il gore agrees with this, everyone has the same right to be elected, it turns out that either we are all spoilers for each other, because we are trying to win votes to our side, or no one. in the race is not a spoiler, we cann

could president george w. bush have been sent to prison for obstructing an official proceeding or leather delete -- or allegedly lying to congress to induce war in iraq. could president obama be charged with murder for killing u.s. citizens abroad by drone strike? could president biden some day be charged with unlawfully inducing immigrants to enter the country illegally for his border policy? the answer to all these questions is no. prosecuting the president for his official acts is an innovation with no foothold in history or tradition and incompatible with our constitutional structure. host: here's a portion of the opening argument livered by the counselor to the special counsel in the u.s. government's case against former president's claims of presidential immunity. [video clip] >> mr. chief justice, and may it please the court, this court has never recognized absolute criminal immunity for any public official. petitioner, however, claims that a former president has permanent criminal immunity for his official

could president george w. bush have been sent to prison for obstructing an official proceeding or allegedly lying to congress to induce war in iraq? could president biden be charged with murder -- president obama be charged with murder for killing u.s. citizens abroad? could president biden be charged with unlawfully inducing immigrants to enter the country illegally for his border policy? the answer to all these questions is no. prosecuting the president for official acts is an innovation with no foothold in history or tradition and incompatible with our constitutional structure. host: and now here is a portion of the opening argument delivered by the council in the u.s. government's case against president trump case. [video clip] >> this court has never recognized absolute criminal immunity for any public official. the petitioner claims a former president has permanent criminal immunity for official acts unless he was first impeached and convicted. his novel theory would immunize former presidents for criminal li

you started in government in 1985 under george w. bush and you continued under george w. george herbert walker bush and you continued under george w. bush. how is it different now than 1985? robert: let me give you a reference point as an example? in 1900, agriculture accounted for 40% of american workers. today it is 1% to 2%, but they produce a lot more. after world war ii agricultural production increased three times up to today, but working hours are 80% less. that is productivity. that's how you increase growth, increase wages, and more opportunities. but jobs change. the same thing happened to manufacturing. not only in the united states. manufacturing workers in germany have come down about 50% over the past 25 years. in australia, about two thirds. it is not a surprise that you have fewer workers in the manufacturing sector. it is now 10% of the u.s. workforce. they are more productive and frankly they reflect changes in the nature of economy from 1985. what people want to buy, medical services, entertainment, travel, higher technology devices, you have to keep ch

or the same thing with george w bush and the argumene tht they there. will this apply to all future presidentsere, wil and will it h the back of their mind as they make life and death decisions whic o h is, you know, a big partr jo of their job? >> yeah, i thought that these were pretty penetrating questions from the justices. you knowty penet, the three libe justices made very clear early libe vote withouncil b the special counsel. >> but the remainder of the justices were concernedconcer about arguments on both sides. they didn't like the sweepint ag of the trump team's argument, but they also did not like the the sweeping arguments of the special counseg arl and chief justice john roberts delivered a haymaker on the d.c. circuit oting a . he quoted a line from them which basically said tha fcht te acts can be prosecuted because they're being prosecutede actst and that circular language really sort of produced some chuckles in the rooular lar but roberts was asking a very serious question. how caobskedn that be the standd for presidents? so it looked

i am david kremer, the executive director director of the george w. bushnstitute and it is a real honor for me to be here with bill burns, the director of the cia. i want to underscore one think it monday morning, we were all wondering what our plan b was going to be, just given development in the middle east. the fact that you are here is a real tribute to your friendship and dedication, living up to your word. we are grateful to you -- that you are here today, so thank you. >> delighted to be here with all of you. thanks, mr. president, for the kind words. they mean a lot to me, coming from someone for whom i have much respect. it is great to see david. a superb friend and colleague and government over the years, especially, i want to thank all of you for allowing me to escape from washington, d.c. for a few hours so thanks for having me. >> you bet. blessing i will say and then we will move on is one of the smartest and most decent people i met in my time at the state department was bill burns. so thank you again for being here. let's jump right into it

on some tables the first lady selected the george w. bush state service china to complement the green fabric and the pattern of sparkling cherry blossoms that runs through it other tables are covered in pink, ivory lace or rose velvet lin aren, pulling out the delicate design of the flowers on the lyndon b. johnson state service china. and tables with mirrored tops glow as they reflect the candlelight around them. after dinner in the state dining room, paul simon if will perform a selection of his iconic songs. i, too, like dr. biden, would like to thank brian and his entire with team who have put so much thought and passion into in this the design. [laughter] >> step forward, brian. >> thank you, brian. and your tale. i also want -- your team. i also want to thank the many teams across campus, especially my team, team social e, and the office of the chief of protocol who have worked really hard to make this official visit successful. finally, i know you all must be wondering what the guests will be served as they sit alongside this incredib

george w bush had the highest premium ratings ever in our country when after he sent troops into iraq and afghanistan, his approval rating past truman's. and with the help of the media, is it 90 percent 90 percent? joining us now to talk about it, somebody who i consider a perfect guest for this conversation, maybe disagree, by the way, with some of the things i said, professor mohammed mirandi is also uh, by the way, he's a professor at the university of k ron and has been a frequent guest on this show. we're also joined by a still on got audio. i'm showing off and pronouncing my ours that way we could say a step one, got a real competitor for our lives, news magazine, the cradle gentleman. i'm not sure where i want to begin, but i guess professor, i'm going to start with you and i said a lot there, but i did find it that it seemed to me and please correct me if i'm wrong. you're wrong, did everything possible to attack? well, not really attacking am i right? i would say that the strike was very calculated and carefully managed and that it could have been much more severe and very de

you got to george w bush and i think john mccain program same back obama defeats john mccain. john mccain's, so empower so now what we've got is this apparently magazine like which is what a dollar trunk goes in megabyte. so there's essentially presided over the most massive transfer of funds, obviously for the us military industrial complex, but also to ukraine's all the gods. the mass of a transfer of funds to a israel, as he presided over a kind of a pop 3, a whole mind of, of, of the restrictions of civil liberties restrictions on freedom. so take talk that's selected there, ought to be banned in the 9 months time. um, supposedly, uh, there's got to be a seizure of russian solver and assets in the united states. so essentially it is a complete wish list. so everything that the deep, se, the military industrial complex, the democrats, what i, but the saw and the one thing that the republicans had one to which was border security. and i also want to see they didn't get it. so i don't of the else thing. the previous ineffectual speaking look out they, they got a version of ho

according to rumors, presidents george w. bush , george w. ated number of congressmen, officials and cabinet members passed through the skull and bones organization . the society included all the rockefellers. during world war ii, a skull with bones became the sign of many military formations of the army of the third reich, ss tank divisions and... and a number of collaborationist divisions. the most famous ss unit associated with this symbol was called the death's head. he was involved in guarding concentration and death camps; the most famous representative of this detachment was irma gresi. this guard of auschwitz, bergen belsen and ravens brück is considered the most cruel woman of the third reich. ss men. they called her the queen of the ss, and the prisoners called her the white devil or angel of death. as a child, the girl, like many fascists, dreamed of joining bohemia and becoming an actress, but instead, at the age of 19, she joined the ss. there, her artistic abilities were fully demonstrated. greza beat women to death. the ss perso

that was the george w. bushes how president biden is taking a page from that playbook. sources say the goal this time around is to register and turn out americans who are passionate about abortion rights and reap the rewards in presidential and congressional races. support for predicting abortion rights has already paid off for democrats in congressional and special elections since roe v. wade was overturned two years ago. even some of the strategists who played a role in the 2004 campaign are taking notice of the similarities. like sarah fagan, a senior strategist on the 2004 bush campaign, who said biden might see of your benefit from abortion then pushed it from marriage, also telling nbc news, people who don't let the candidates or aren't motivated by the candidates to get motivated by these specific issues. the senior national political reporter for nbc news who wrote that piece, cornell is a veteran democratic political strategist and pollster, and they join me now onset. let me start with you, given how e

and i think and the error of george w bush. you have quite a few republicans who at the end of his administration, work and support of all the countries we were in. and there's, you would say that you could say the trunk is the more part of the anti uh, intervention wing of the republican party. and he often classes with what you would call the bush neo conservatives. so i think it's going to come down to how popular the conflict is and, and how, what the general public feels about about it. and i think when it comes to the gaza, which the us isn't directly involved and it is, it is in directly involved. and i think that you've got folks on the left in the right who are pro palestinian and you've got folks on the left in the right who are pro israel. so sometimes it's not always simple to define it across party lines. and i think trump's actually making a play for live leading motors because it's very critical, benjamin netanyahu. he sometimes shows in the deed for the lives of palestinian people. i see him kind of making a pla

and that really didn't change until after $911.00 the election of george w bush and the, and folks a pastor towards that. and then of course, the 2nd goal for which i think changed to a lot of people's perceptions as to how of foreign policy and use for policy can impact politics. so there was a lot going on then, and yes, we're certainly in a much different mold. yeah, i mean listen, uh well, well, the trump campaign capitalize on descent within the democratic ranks. sure, the question is whether or not that will really matter to the average democrats older, you know, and are you bringing up a really good point that when expand on, right, they're talking about how when you're looking at back, then it seems like foreign policy. we were a lot more unified. i think republicans and democrats were altogether, was like whatever conflicts we were on outside of our borders party. my party lines didn't matter. we were going to support the troops, whatever they were doing. john, do you think when did, when did that change? you think? do you think that's how we see it now? because now it's thi

putin at that time the american president george w. bushsomewhere in the mid-2000s, vladimir putin himself spoke about it, in this dialogue there was essentially reflects the formula for the west's vision of relations with our country, our president objected to the deployment of missile defense systems in europe, pointing out that the stated purpose of these systems was supposedly what they were aimed at. against iran does not correspond to the geography of the deployment of this pro system, it will begin to threaten russian strategic forces and force russia to respond. president bush got tired of listening to vladimir putin's rather systematic and reasonable arguments, and answered him with a three-part formula. he said: “vladimir, in response to the remark our president that russia will be forced to respond." this will provoke russia to respond. vladimir, we are not enemies, so do what you want, and we will do what we want. if translated from diplomatic language into russian, this means, that we are not enemies, we will not deliberately a

american presidents, where, as we remember, our boss, vladimir vladimirovich putin, met with george w. bush2007, now it’s even impossible to imagine that they met in the first place, they drank tea, coffee, cola, probably something... i don’t know what they fed there anymore, and they discussed such interesting things, for example, that instead of pro in eastern europe, we can together agree to use the services of the gabala radar station in azerbaijan, we remember that it hasn’t even been 20 years yet, it was all seriously discussed, and this is the focus of the entire american protestant ethic, which lies in the fact that this was our land, and the indians already lived here. here is fulfillment with oneself, fulfillment of the concept of one’s own exclusivity, only over the years, with in just two centuries, this ethic spread throughout the entire earth, this was our land, someone already lives here for some reason, some russians, some other chinese, what are they doing here, this is our land, these are our rules, we run it all and we rule it all and we have the rights to all these wars

founder at the national security institute and former associate white house counsel to president george w. bushtake on that point for me, if you would. iran has never before attacked israel directly. this is the first time they have done so. what's the significance, in your mind? >> well, it's obviously a huge step for iran to take. they've been hitting israel through proxies for the better part of a decade, going after u.s. forces in iraq and syria, hitting commercial shipping in the red sea. but to go directly toe to toe with israel is sure to provoke a response and not just from israel, but potentially9 from the united states. we'll certainly take action to defend israel, as the president said, if we need to. but it may go further than that if, in fact, israel feels the need to responder to this iranian aggression. -- respond to this iranian aggression. scrn jon we're looking at the map as you're speak ising. you've got iraq and jordan between riles and iran. israel and iran. would there be an overflight by israeli jets, or would you expect some response using disevils? what kind of countera

we have to go to gore versus george w. bush where we had the hanging chads. you try to uncover the fraud and that it didn't come out where it would affect the election. you also have to go back in that timeframe, that was during covid. there were a lot more mail in ballots at that time. i think this election coming up in 2024 will be a lot less mail in ballots and more in person voting. i had a guy from mississippi come where i work and is out the are you going to make sure these elections are valid? i said where i vote in my little elementary school, you have to have your id, they checked it and double check it with the role -- check it and double check it with the role. my question is, why won't trump and the republicans accept the fact that they lost? al gore had to do it when george w. bush won even though he got screwed in that election. host: let's take your question. caller: why don't think -- why don't you think trump will accept this? guest: it is a good question. i don't have any answer whatsoever. there is probably a political answer to it. my role

he did not rise to the level of ronald reagan or george w. bush.

there will always be a difference between george w. bush'se seen george w. bush's choice wrote the opinion overturning roe v. wade. has that finally penetrated on the democratic side of the electorate? >> i think so. people have come to understand so much we have counted on for a very long time. that was the security, the independence of our courts that our courts would not be political. and that our courts were fundamentally about protecting our rights. not about hollowing out the rights or taking them away. and the republicans for a long time had been on the attack. they understand. the importance of extremist courts and they have pushed in that direction. the federalist society. around that whole idea. and democrats just didn't tumble to it nearly as early. but we may wake up late. we are fully awake now. and we fully understand what is on the ballot come november 2024. we need joe biden in the white house because of the good things he is going to do. we need him there because we cannot count on the united states supreme court to protect u
