c-span: did you ever think george walker bush with the would be president? guest: i think i was surprised when george w. bush and jeb bush both decided to run for governor. the morning of the election my going to starbucks to get my coffee and there is marvin bush. why are you out campaigning. he says, i'm the only smart brother. of course there of course there were all surprised jeb did not win. and i think my greatest moment came when he was still kind of a smart alec playing golf with his father i was the travel pool. and they made it through 18 holes 18 holes in one hour and 53 minutes. he came up to my reporter's notebook and said one hour and 53 minutes. write that down, that's a record. the white a record. the white house doctors is aerobic golf. c-span: 1992 another time we did a presidential debate. what was it it like to be chosen to do this and how much preparation did you do? >> guest: for the 1st debate we were told 36 hours before we had been chosen. i was on his campaign train with julie literally texting for take off and they stop complaining

the other is george walker bush got a great reception and shows within the party, he is really popular in vegas. john: not as toxic as he once was. i say sheldon adelson won the weekend. the guy. there is a sheldon adelson primary. he has his own primary. people came out to kiss his ring. he will continue to be a winner for some time. i will say the big winner of the weekend was barack obama at the white house correspondents dinner. killing it, as he does every year. he is a great comic performer. mark: he was good, but he has been better. john: there is james. mark: another bad day in the media for the clinton campaign. the clinton foundation has a technology mistakes in the handling of some of the foreign donations. bill clinton reportedly got paid $200,000 by goldman sachs for a speech he gave in 2011 months before the gotham city firm started lobbying the clinton state department. that is according to the "international business times." here is a sampling of what the clintons got. >> what still boggles the mind is why doesn't hillary deal with this herself? >> the sloppiness in the

it was papa bush george herbert walker bush. ross perot was the third-party candidate. d perot cost by his presence george herbert walker bush that election. >> couple of things. i know a lot of people in my party have told me that. >> is jeb upset with you for pushing this? >> he's never said anything to me and i don't think he would be upset. we want to resolve this before we get so far into the process that the candidates weigh is this good for me or bad for me. right now they're not thinking about that. second of all, social science done since 1992 kind of disputes the notion that perot cost bush the election. so i think you'd just have to say that's not necessarily the case. >> in the introduction, i mentioned that marco rubio now leading jeb bush in the polls. does that mean jeb bush better hurry and get into this thing or he's going to be eclipsed? >> i'm not worried about that. everybody who has announced, ted cruz hillary clinton on the democratic side, and now marco rubio have gotten a boost when they first announce. and i think marco rubio is a serious, viable

when i was with president george herbert walker bush and the iraqis invaded kuwait and we started getting messages on the atrocities there, the president of the united states walked out and said this shall not stand, and it didn't. >> governor thank you. and i mentioned president bush 41. i know you have a book coming out. i look forward to seeing it on the bookshelves. >> i promise you, you're our favorite place to go. >> thank you sir. >>> and another american, a 20-year-old girl signing up to join isis. she's from alabama and tricked her father, and has now fled a birmingham suburb to try to go to syria. john anderson joins us. nice to see you, john. >> reporter: nice to see you, thank you. what happened with this young woman who's joined isis? >> reporter: it started back in november. she apparently abandoned her family, tricked her family into letting her go on what was supposed to be a school field trip to atlanta, and she ended up going to turkey a then to syria to join isis. and she married an islamic jihadist from australia. shortly after getting there in syria. and he was killed

bob dole never caught up and george herbert walker bush never caught up with the ronald reagan mindset. they were born too early. they served too early and they learned how politics work before they changed the rules. in the house and the senate -- it changes how you approach things. they took spending on earmarks which prior to that he party was to sign up. then i would look at how i had stolen from a knee money and giving it to other people and -- they would talk about how they brought money back to the district. today they are at the dinner table. it's crushing. that is a change in washington d.c.. i worry sometimes that the people that make the tea party have been don't understand how dramatically they've succeeded already in changing the way that washington works. we are heading in a different direction than we were before the tea party. >> host: a lot of people would say we started this in opposition to bail out and obamacare and obamacare is still in place. in the end of that was the means writing source. >> guest: .biz yes we didn't have the house or the senate. we recently got

'88 when walker bush was the last person elected to a third term to an incumbent party that held the white house. >> in fact that really is the challenge ed rendell because it's very rare georgebush was one example after reagan. it's rare that a third democratic term or republican term would be acceptable to the voters in the general election. >> well that's historically true, but i think each election takes place in the context of circumstances around it. we don't know what the circumstances are going to be. if isis and foreign crisises are still important, hillary clinton's experience as secretary of state and as a senator are hugely important. hugely important to her. if the economy continues to rebound, i think that rebound will be to her benefit. there's no question about it. >> ed rendell and steve schmidt. finally steve schmidt chris christie again today in new hampshire. do we think he's still seriously considering getting into this race? race? >> he's very skilled. if hillary clinton becomes the democratic nominee, it will be no no small part to resiliency. chris christie has had a couple of difficult chapters over the year or so. new hampshire gives him the opportun

that is one george herbert walker bush succeeded ronald reagan. since eisenhower, the party has flipped parties in eight years or less. it is time for the american people to undo the mistakes of the last cycle. that means it is ours to lose. what do we have to do? we have a primary process. lots of great candidates. any of them would make a hundred times better of a president than what we have in the white house. [applause] mr. sununu: we will go through this process and end up with a favorite, although i will have to try not hard not to pick because so many are close friends. you will end up with a favorite. that means statistically speaking most of you will end up disappointed. when you have five or six or seven people running, the supporters of six will be disappointed. prepare yourselves for that reality. we will get a nominee that will probably support what do you like a 90%-95 percent of the issues. but you can always find one you will complain about. this is the year you must, you must put that aside and support the nominee.

in 1992, james carville knew that for george herbert walker bush was to connect with regular people.inton promised to watch out fear people who worked hard and played by the rules. jimmy carter new the country wanted more than the usual rhetoric. they wanted a governor, not a senator, who would focus on making things work, not the same old agenda, so jimmy who beat the whole pack of the liberals. jack kennedy's pollster could sense the countries restlessness. let's get this country going again. his brother bobby said the key to winning primaries was to go out and meet people. that's what jack did and one. the word strategist is way overused in this business, i limit it to the people, started with james rowe. no one ever thought harry truman could win in 1948. but rowe saw the coalition and told truman how to rebuild it. he said the party spent too much on fund raiding and not enough on party building. he kept that on his desk every i think -- single day and this changed everything. we will hear a clear and compelling message. we'll see a successful campaign carrying it out to the vot

bush. it's completely different times. it's like being pre-grated or post-reagan as elected official. bob dole never caught up. george herbert walker bush never caught up with a reagan mindset. they were born too early. they got elected to the they serve to early. given how politics works before reagan changed the rules. in the house and senate, either pre- or post-gingrich. paper before gingrich thought republicans were naturally the minority out of gingrich. change is how you meet people. fancast the people come you going to love me. i hope you don't -- it changes as you approach things and then there's this big change, maybe bigger with the tea party before and after the 2009-2010. they to spending on earmarks which prior to the tea party was considered a sign of berlin. i have brought -- guerrilla i have stolen money from other people into the people who lived there you. that's great. the obituaries would talk about somebody brought money back to the district. today your marks are like considered what? you know. it's corruption. a measure of corruption, not confidence to be and hamburger. that is a change in washington, d.c. th

little blue arrow pointing down, you will see there is a young congressman by the name of george herbert walker bush in the crowd there to bid them farewell. the letters you see on the side, you're not going to be able to read them, but i'm going to give you some excerpt from them. the one letter is from the head of the university of texas oral history program. he wrote a letter to the president that says when i spotted congressman george bush of houston in the farewell crowd, i asked him why a prominent republican such as he was seeing you off instead of being in the midst of republican activities in the city. his reply was a nice tribute to you. he said you've been a fine president, invariably courteous and fair to me and my people. i thought i belong here to show in a small way how much i have appreciated him. i wish i could do even more. lbj wrote congressman bush a letter and said i was deeply appreciative of your words as he quoted them to me. please know i value your friendship as i do your fathers and i am glad you are one of us down here in texas. i wish you a long and illustrious career in

no republican running for president has won the state of pennsylvania since george her better walker bush in '88. your thoughts on p.a.? >> let me bring up another map to talk about that. romney campaign early on thought they might win p.a. this is what i call the blue wall. this is the last six presidential elections. any state shaded in blue. home state of pennsylvania is one of them in the last six presidential elections has voted for the democrats. george w. bush won in pennsylvania twice. i remember it very closely, talking to him about why he thought he could win it. romney thought he could win it. this has gone blue. so have all these other states. that's the great democratic/potentially hillary clinton advantage, michael. in these states that are blue for six straight presidential elections. if republicans can't change any of the blue all hillary clinton or any democrat would have to do is just win florida. that leaves virginia colorado new mexico nevada. the advantage used to be when i was starting in politics republicans had an advantage in the electoral college. because of penn

he can't beat george bush or jeb bush or scott walker. a lot of these guys think they can win but the reality is they won't. >> the scale of electable and viable where does jeb bush fall in all of this. >> jeb bush is both. that's why he's considered a frontrunner. he could win a head-to-head contest against hillary clinton. jeb bush could definitely win his party's nomination. i said all along because of the amount of money he can raise and the connections he has the republican nomination comes down to jeb bush and scott walker. i give scott walker the edge, but it boils down to those two. everybody else is waiting for those front runners to slip up. >> hadn't he already slipped up? he has been quiet in the past month or so. didn't jeb still licking his wounds on his statements on indiana. >> of course he is, and he probably has a horrible bracket, too, but that doesn't change the fact that jeb bush recognizes he's the most important person in the room. he already managed--he edged out mitt romney. mitt romney is not in the race. he has

the last american president who served in war was george herbert walker bush. since then, we have had a new generation that has a very different view of the world and how we should be dealing with it. what we have been cranking through, the lack of strategic thinking, the fact that people in the world do not trust us. dov used the word "weak," i don't think people see us as weak, but they do not know what we are all about. that undermines the trust that is reinforced by domestic medical dysfunction that was just talked about. richard: under george schultz one of the great secretaries of state. anyway, my point is, i think the situation calls -- not probably in this room, we have people who devoted their lives to security. and foreign policy, but as a country, look at the people coming up as potential presidents for the next cycle. almost none have foreign-policy experience. in a world in chaos, or as henry kissinger put it, a period of disorder, or a world awash in change, i think we have some

george w. bush ari fleischer. good evening, are ay. nice to he sue. already the fundraising has started by governor walker on this statement by the president. >> sure of course it has. and it is a badge, of honor to be attacked by incoming president by the party. the president of the united states is wrong. no presidential policy is set in stone. of course the successor has the right to disagree with it and governor walker has said clearly what i would do and he would not honor that treaty if it was to put in place. there is not a treaty union lateral agreement by the president. two, the president lowering himself to the level of tit-for-tat in that aloof manner in a campaign, is he supposed to be above it is he not running for re-election again. i think this is one of the reasons why you see so little get done in washington who when you have a president so eager to take shots at people who aren't even running against him. >> certainly shows he is paying attention. listening to what some of his critics are saying. this isn't the only potential candidate who has taken -- you know disagreed with the preside

george w. bush won the nomination in 2000. he was probably 40%, 45% at this point. here is jeb bush sitting at 9%. it seems to me you look at this money lining up with walker and rubio, jeb bush is not looking nearly as imposing as maybe he thought he would. >> i disagree with that. let's see what the conversation is the day or the week after jeb bush announces that he's in the game and running. we're sitting around this table and he's at 9% a week two weeks after that. then the point you're making is a legitimate point. this is the crazy system where everybody is the flavor of the day. it means absolutely nothing. these billionairs are using these candidates. they're a sucker for the money. that's the problem. they're chasing the dollars. you're absolutely right. they should be coordinating with their grass roots and identifying the people on the ground who are going to be helping them. they should be locked in with the national republican committee and state parties. instead, they're flying all over the country and doing the squaung dance for people who at the end of the day only have one vote. and the reality of it is for jeb bush and everybody else you

george w. bush didn't say that stuff about barack obama. a sitting president normally wouldn't say something vituperative about a potential candidate. there is something about walker that makes him nuts. bill: and you are no ordinary mammal. martha: firefighters on the scene as the building burns trying to rescue the people trapped inside. we are live at the scene that huge fire. this ... bill: spring coming in like a lion. winter-like weather that refuses to give up. bill: old man winter is not done with us, at least not here. that's heavy rain and hail. in north dakota it's covering the ground in white. martha: it's not over until the fat lady sings. and she has not sung. maybe a couple notes. hang in there folks. martha: the dramatic video of a fire tearing through a commercial building. getting within inches of those flames. another of the using a ladder to rescue the couple trapped inside. a huge operation. william lajeunesse is live at the scene with more. a very dramatic fire there today. >> reporter: i'm going to show where you this fire started. you can see the roof literally caved in. it's gone. fortunately firefighters got here minutes after the 911 cal

george w. bush. house speaker john boehner lindsey graham and more. and in iowa declared presidential candidates rand paul ted cruz and marco rubio will be speaking along with possible contenders. scott walkerd carly fiorina. john live from iowa. >> reporter: it is christian conservatives here in iowa at the point of grace church. this is one of the overflow rooms for the cattle call. they only have 700 seats in the main hall and 1500 people have said they are going to be here today. of course christian conservatives a very important voting block here in the state of iowa. in 2012 57% of all people who went to the republican caucuses were christian conservatives. nine candidates in total at least going to be here including marco rubio. they want to hear about bread and butter issues the economy, taxes as well as foreign policy and national security. but they also want to feel that the candidate shares their views on the social issues. for example the faith and freedom coalition issued a call to action for the republican part to quote, grow a backbone on religious freedom. senator marco rubio said this morning he agrees. >> the purpose of our laws is to protect our right. not just to worship

candidates like george pa tack key are around and rand paul and scott walker so it really is pretty much everybody coming here. >> kasie, just real quickly, the people the folks like bush are just people that go into these events? who are they? >> reporter: they are just people that come into these events. at a breakfast like politics and eggs a lot of familiar faces, people who have been involved in politics in new hampshire for a long time but operatives from both parties, terry schumaker, who was the chairman both of bill clinton's campaigns was here as were a number of other republican operatives and a lot of voters. voters in new hampshire are very engaged. it's a small state. even if you come up here and cover this process time and time again, you start to see familiar faces. a lot of these voters feel it's their duty to see all these candidates over and over again, so at the same time, these events are unscripted. it is not like what hillary clinton went into in iowa these situations are unpredictable. he's taking questions from anyone who wants to stick their hand up in the air, reporter or voter, so i think it's a notable contrast. >> thank you both for being

walker. and ahead of the correspondence dinner in the white house, we will look back at past speeches given by president clinton george bush>> c-span, created by america's cable companies and brought to you by a public -- as a public service. >> this week on the communicators, an update on the net neutrality regulations passed by the fcc earlier this year. julia haddam is with the hill. where do we stand? >> this is a new chapter. the long ongoing saga, a vote was made earlier this year in february that would take a bold step of reclassifying the internet service, to treat it as a title ii service, what we have called a more of a utility style regulation. that is a tricky term. but, while that happened in february the rules were not formally published into last week. and that gets the process going for the next stage, which is on the one hand, they will be in acted 60 days hence, those will go into effect in june, although right now, this process has been going on, but nothing on the books. but, what the publication also does is set the stage for this new fight, the court fight. the rules have been published and companies
