i was thrilled about it but that's where laura bush went to school. so i think she had some sway on the location of the library which could've been in waco. but i am impressed. i also understand president bush had a habit of not want to stay overnight anywhere without laura. i wonder what are some other things about how she i would say positively influenced her husband, whether it's in speeches. we heard a statement of that but what was she doing for her husband? i can touch us two of them come it's very powerful and positive. i would love to hear the panel talk about that. >> i will just make two comments and then give -- i have known the family since the '80s but they are partners in everything. she is an anchor to him and he is hugely supportive of everything that she does. in fact, i will just say one comment here about even going to afghanistan. canard about the trip that we planned 10 years ago this month. when laura bush interviewed me and she said i want to go to afghanistan that was the first thing she said and to my first question to was does

and i think frankly it to me looks strikingly similar to laura bush who felt constrained and sort of -- it has been the impact of hillary clinton. for better for worse, hillary tried to have a more of a role as first lady in that first term it politically back fired, and then there has almost been a relapse where laura bush and michelle obama both came to the decision i can't be political. >> i would say michelle obama is political in the issues she has chosen. not so much in the day to day, who's up who's down washington -- >> they're populous issues. >> they are. they're populist. i think there is something that unites them. if you look at how she's working to improve access to education for disadvantaged kids if you think about who is buying the school lunches that of course are so controversial, and how, what 70% of them are bought by children who pay, get free lunches or reduced price lunches and other things they connect with who she is and where she came from. it is true it is important to point out, she has tried and this is, as you say, true of laura, they vice presidenthave

but when people can laugh at themselves, nancy reagan, laura bush, ronald reagan george bush, bill clinton. it humanizes them in a way that can only help them. to clinton gave tenet a nasty speech at his peak he criticized bob dole, john kasich. by the and he was hiring professional writers who did want to follow him because he's so funny because making fun of himself being home alone. he had this whole skit. the first ladies started to do relatively recently. they don't make fun of themselves. nancy did she had to. they make fun of their husbands it's considered okay. if hillary clinton is president as she gives one of his speeches the whole town will want to know what she says about bill clinton. [laughter] >> this is going to be the last clip, and it's clip, and effectively what presidents have today, the tools that have today, social media, youtube and the like but it also is a difficult thing to manage because all day long people are commenting on their policies in the white house but it's one of those giveth and taketh away things at the same time. this is a nice way to end this part

we all know who we're talking about, laura bush. is she the only one who has done that. >> she's the only one to go to the podium to make fun of her husband. in 1972 pat nixon sat in for richard nixon. >> really? i'm going to thank the national journal for that one. >> let's take a listen to laura bush, because she was pretty funny. she was talking about the desperate housewives and all of that. >> ladies and gentlemen, i have been attending these dinners for years. and just quietly sitting there. well i've got a few things i want to say. george always says he's delighted to come to these press dinners. baloney. he's usually in bed by now. i'm not kidding. i said to him the other day, george, if you really want to end tyranny in the world, you're going to have to stay up later. >> that was great. she was making fun of the fact he did not like to stay up late. he wanted his sleep if he could get it. >> that's right. you have michelle obama appear in videos in the past in white house correspondents dinners. but laura bush was the only

announcer: tonight, a discussion about the legacy of former first lady laura bush. we speak to a need in the ride -- to anita mcbride former chief of staff to the first lady. anita mcbride: they are partners in everything, and she is an anchor to him. he is hugely supportive of everything that she does. in fact, i will say one comment here about even going to afghanistan, the trip that we planned, which is 10 years this month. when laura bush interviewed me and she said, "i want to go to afghanistan," my first question to her was "was -- does the president know?" he supported her to go, he sent her all over the world as an advocate or as a representative of him, the closest personal envoy you could possibly send all over the world is your spouse. she was so effective. they were partners in everything . in their personal lives, obviously, and devoted to their family, but also in this important work of the country she was there in every single part of it. announcer: tonight, a discussion on the legacy of former first lady of laura bush. you can see the event. you can

obama because laura bush did from the minute she got married or started dating george w. bush, which was a three-month engagement and then they were married, he was from a political family and involved in politics and as much as she pleaded not to ever have to give a public speech, she became quite good at it and over time and through the different campaigns, the campaign for governor the campaign -- his first campaign for congress and she famously -- he famously talks about how they're coming back from a speech and he asked her how was my speech, and she said well it was horrible and he proceeded to drive the car right through the garage. so not at all happy with that response, but she was an honest broker, and i think that's what's important. the political spouse really is the one person who can be most honest with you and they do get deeply engaged and deeply involved. you know, it's important to see the success of their spouse in these campaigns and mrs. bush by 2004, she was a pivotal person in the campaign during a very difficult time. the country was at two wars. i

laura bush rose to the occasion. she says in her book, after nine months of being in the administration, she had just held the first national book festival, choose getting ready to go up that the hill to give testimony on early childhood education and she felt like her voice found her. then this happened. and that became a comforter to our country. she realized she had this platform. guest: and i'm not just saying it because of a need a sitting care next to me, but she is really one of the best -- wrote one of the best political memoirs i have ever read. particularly overseas, she was doing some very brave and very controversial things, but she never really think it is country at the kind of credit that she deserved. host: third most traveled first lady in the country. guest: correct, after pat nixon and hillary clinton. host: which is interesting because pat nixon only had five and half years in the white house. guest: she had done an enormous a lot of travel with her husband, but also on solo trips. host: of course

and laura bush gave someone a you'll eulogy in d.c. these people are close friends. >> they are close friends with real people that don't have a political agenda. is that what it is? >> right, and they said they don't want anything from us. it's rare because when you live in the white house you feel like people are constantly after you. there's one story in the book i love about hillary clinton where she wants a few moments by the pool during the whole lewinsky scandal and she asks the usher at the time to escort her to the pool. she doesn't want to see anybody. she just wants to sit with a book like anybody on a sunny day. >> by herself. and he locked it out, right? >> yeah. and he made sure no secret service got her. then he dropped her off at the pool and brought her back up when she was ready, and she just took his hands and said thank you so much. that meant so much to me. and he said it was one of his shining moments, that he was able to give her that bit of normalcy. >> well you brought up the clintons and one of the more striki

he had prints made, and gave this to laura bush and it speaks about prior to 9/11, president bush was very focused on domestic policy. he wanted to focus on education, health care reform, very domestic focused. what people don't remember about that time was that senator kennedy was a major ally to president bush in working on no child left behind, and focusing on education. what people remember is president kennedy being a huge opponent of the iraq war. but this piece shows the solidarity that they shared when it came to education. this was presented to laura bush by ted kennedy, and he wrote on the mat on the bottom, to the first lady of education, whose impressive leadership is enabling millions of american children to dance with the daffodils. your friends, ted kennedy, september 11, 2001. laura bush was scheduled to speak to the education committee on september 11, but then the news was starting to come out of new york, and it put things on hold. and then they realize that the country was under attack and they evacuated her. the gift got left behind. it was not important in that m

bush and laura bush? >> guest: after 9/11 i became much more attuned to the fact the press was misrepresenting counterterrorism measures. the washington post would routinely do stories claiming -- they were doing terrible things. in the last paragraph something would show the whole story was bogus or it would never show up at all. i cite examples of this in my book the terrorist watch. i have to say the post is very fair and very balanced to use the fox description pleasure to read and under the present editor this started under the publisher, of course the result is credibility. it is funny fox news will say even the washington post says so and so exciting with the conservative line or pointing out something conservatives like. the fact is the post day in and day out is doing a magnificent job of telling both sides. what was the question? >> why the biographies on laura bush? >> he was actually crucial in changing this culture in the fbi to make it more prevention oriented. a few days after 9/11 he was b

when laura bush interviewed me and she said i want to go to afghanistan, that was the first thing she said, and my first question was, does the president know? and she said yes, because i knew what that meant. if he knew, that is all the support in the world that we needed. he supported her to go, he sent her all over the world as an advocate or as a representative, the closest personal envoy you could send. she was so effective. they were partners in everything, personal lives obviously, and devoted to their family, but also in this important work of the country and she was there in every single part of it. >> a conversation about the legacy of former first lady laura bush at 9:30. and a pair of our index interviews, the president and ceo of the aspen institute walter isaacson and ronald kessler, all starting tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern. in history tonight on c-span3 making a few stops on the cities tour. starting at 8:00 tonight on american history tv on c-span3. and his story in the hill, and member of the secret service was arrested today by a d.c. policeman and will likely face

>> i spent time with laura bush last year and she was eager to talk about how much she is enjoying life pose presidency. it was interesting the tissue was shaped i wouldn't say reluctant but a quiet behind the scenes spouse and now she travels more than the former president, working on watching a global program that will bring first ladies around the world together she has been to africa and she has spent in washington with michelle lobov is she just talks about the freedom that with the presidential library and the foundations to still talk about a cause that is important but to do with in a way that she can choose but isn't dog by media that comes along with living here. >> with these presidential foundations in their platforms with the influence they continue to have. >> this is carter has a great career we talk about jimmy carter he does all these things and she is right there with him they monitor elections she is a partner every minute as when they were in the white house >> but he is a partner to her because she is a fascinating woman beckett's almost no press but her work on men

>> host: why the biographies on laura bush and others. >> guest: i felt with bush that he was actually crucial in changing that culture in the fbi to make it more oriented towards prevention. a few days he was being briefed on the investigation with prosecutions into 9/11 and bush said wait a minute i want to know what you are doing to stop this next plot. so there was a supposedly interesting situation at cleared a new infrastructure that made it safe, not to mention the no child left behind act which is very dear to me because i could not read in the fourth grade. i had been taught with a bogus method which was not fun at, it was called whole language, some people say it makes you guess the words, when my mother remarried, i was in the fourth grade and i couldn't read. and sure enough they put me into phonics and i learned how to read and that is one thing that george bush pushed. so i admired that. and that is one reason i did the book on him. >> host: in your book it you quote the overall thing is a strengthening of the communication. and it says that his intelligence reform, great

after that, we look at the legacy of former first lady laura bush. here is a preview. >> they are partners in everything, and she is an anchor to him. he is usually supportive of everything that she does. in fact, i will just say one comment here about even going to afghanistan. you heard about the trip that we planned, which is 10 years this month. when laura bush interviewed me and she said i want to go to afghanistan, that was the first thing she said, and my first question to her was does the president know, and she said yes. i knew what that meant. if he knew, that was all the support in the world that we needed. he supported her to go. he sent her all over the world as an advocate, a representative of him -- the pump -- closest personal envoy you could possibly send all over the world is your spouse, and she was so effective. they were partners in everything. personal lives obviously, and devoted to their family. also, in this important work of the country. she was there in every single part of it. >> and on c-span2 tonight, more book tv in pri

>> reporter: we caught up with laura bush on rare trip back to washington the city where she took on the cause of women's rights around the world. while first lady she made three trips to afghanistan where girls were forbid p to go to school and recently hosted the first lady of afghanistan at the bush institute in dallas. >> she said that things are better in afghanistan, and it looks, to us, from the outside. >> are you worried, though, that those days are going to be lost as america pulls out. >> well, i don't want america to pull out too soon. it's very important as they develop their democracy. i don't want to waste years we spent there in the time and treasure and the lives that people have devoted to afghanistan. >> reporter: mrs. bush visited africa five times, a big proponent of her husband's $15 billion initiative to fight hiv/aids, credited with saving some 7 million lives. >> i think it's a great tribute to the generosity of the american people. >> nothing prepares you for this role. >> reporter: since leaving the white house, mrs. bush worked with michelle obama on a pro

you heard about the trip that we planned, which is ten years this month, when laura bush interviewed me and said, i want to go to afghanistan that was first thing she said, my first question to her was does the president know? and she said, yes, because i knew what that meant. if he knew that's all the support in the world that we needed. he supported her to go he sent her all over the world as an advocate or as a -- a representative of him, the closest personal envoy you could possibly send all over the world is your spouse. and she was so effective. there were partners in everything. personal lives obviously, and devoted to their family. but also in this important work of the country she was there in every single part of it. >> watch a discussion on the legacy of former first lady laura bush tonight at 9:30 eastern on c-span. >>> the luncheon speaker at the american university conference was the former chair and ceo of qwest communications international, joseph nacchio. in 2007, he was convicted of insider trading and served four years in a federal prison, which he says was related

laura bush made a lot of things about.might have pushed education, the issue of education in a way that might actually polarize what someone my calling for. this to me was one of the interesting parts of this research. many things that were assumed they often had to do with western notions of beauty and vocation were many advocates coming out of afghanistan talk about education. for their girls to go to school but i would have to confirm that. my guess would be hillary clinton would not talk about nail polish. >> this does not answer the question. the three secretary of states we have had have all three of them been unusually religious. so i am not sure but it occurred to me right now. much more open than you would normally get. i don't know that has a relationship. >> interesting. >> thanks for a great panel. my question is for allison. you made a comment about how social services, religious institutions can no longer afford to pay for social services and the federal government and then you talked about some of the changi

bush 2004 and laura bush and intimate portrait of the first lady 2006. the terrorist watch came out in 2007 come in the presidents secret service behind the scenes with agents in the line of fire but presidents protect 2009, the secrets of the fbi 2011 and his most recent book is the first family detail. they revealed a hidden life of the president. >> guest: the second book focuses on first families so i would say almost a dozen in the press release. i mentioned the fact that he was a shock because of his own white house staff. there was a violent episode and a number of other new items in the book. and it also went much more into those corner cutting cultures with many more examples. you would think that they would wise up and do something about it or the cancer because if there hasn't been an assassination given and covering up. >> host: why in the middle of all of these books on agencies did you do biographies of george w. bush? >> guest: i became much more attuned to the fact that the press was misrepresenting counterterrorism measures the "washingt

i know that hillary clinton told laura bush that she regretted having an office in the west wing and so i think it's really interesting to look back on that time and see how it's going to play out in the future. >> so this book is not just all the about the clinton white house, it's about a number of different white houses. obviously the clinton portion getting a lot of attention right now, but a few other ones? jfk's pool parties? >> that's right. when jackie kennedy would go out of town president kennedy would swim nude with some of the secretaries in the pool the resident staffers always knew not to go to the second and third floors when mrs. kennedy was out of town. there are also stories about president nixon bowling with one of staffers late into the evening. then another story when i think is interesting, the temptations and james brown when they would visit the white house, they would hang out with the african-american butlers in the pantry connected to the state dining room before state dinners. they would all hang out together so there's a bit of entertainment in there, too

and anita mcbride was chief of staff to laura bush and she also worked for presidents reagan and georgeat deal about the operations and comings and goings and gary walters worked as chief usher from 1986. but he came during betty ford's time as first lady. and he worked into the bush administration. susan was chief of staff to michelle obama and can speak to us about both the west wing and east wing and came in the carter administration as the chief pastry chef and betty is curator at the white house position that came about as a result of all of the work that jackie kennedy did. and so as a way of introducing you to our panelists and what kind of operation a first lady comes into we're going to talk about a state dinner. and use that as introduction for all of us and where they are put on and where the first lady comes in and all of the various parts of the white house that get involved because it certainly is a big event and one that involves everybody. so gary, can you start us off? as a chief usher, you handle the resident staff and you can begin. >> be glad to. the first notice of

bush" came out in 2002 "the cia at war", and "a matter of character", "laura bush" "inside the desperate race to stop the next attack" and the last book "in the president's secret service: behind the scenes with agents in the line of fire and the presidents they protect" of 2009, and finally his most recent, "secret service agents". >> caller: great program, the one question for mr. kessler would be given the thoughts on the president. [inaudible] and who had the best presidents from truman forward, the best mutual respect going both ways. >> guest: george w. bush was very involved with the cia. very appreciative of what they did. and another reason is inside the cia, today that is the one book as i understand that that they recommend to applicants and new employees at the cia even though the book came out years ago. and they would not put up with that, they would start prosecuting the cia officers and another time he goes on to how it really works and that is why i think it is important for new employees to learn from these lessons, to know what was wrong about this era without a lot of

i complained and was horrified when laura bush went to saudi arabia and sat with women in the hajab and praised the environment. look in politics this isn't going to happen. with hillary clinton, she claims to be the champion for women then she does the opposite as did barak obama and that's what we have to call out. >> all right. guys. >> we will have you back on your ads. by the way, great core victory for you. >> thank you. >> we just ran out of time unfortunately it went long. kiersten thank you too. coming up a hannity investigation next into how radical islamists are recruiting members right here on american soil. we will explain the warning signs you need to look out for and the mother of a navy seal who received an apology from general martin dempsey. >> that and much more on this busy news night here on "hannity." this is good, mom.
