i knew laura bush is reaction would be of course. i never answer for anything without talking to her first but i knew the answer would be yes. i will call you back with dates and times that could work. mrs. bush was so thrilled to have mrs. johnson come to the white house that she can take the former first lady through the white house. mrs. bush had made sure that any of the residents staff that were still working in the white house that had been there in the johnson time were there to greet mrs. johnson at the diplomatic reception room door when she stepped in. in addition one of the butlers who had worked for the johnson's was now a part-time elevator operator. he operated the presidents elevator a few days a week. mrs. bush major he was there and he was the one that greeted mrs. johnson when the door was opened. the way that mrs. johnson embraced mr. jerman and how he embraced her would make you cry but would also -- to last things -- mrs. johnson's last visit to the white house mrs. bush wheeled her into a room on the ground floo

[laughter] in 1988 she went back to being a press secretary this time to then vice president george hw bush during campaign for the presidency and as president elect during the transition. 1999 she was voted one of the most powerful women in public relations in the one of the 100 most powerful women in washington by washingtonian magazine not only the reagan press secretary but a very dear friend. ladies and gentlemen it is my pleasure to welcome sheila tate

barbara bush, where it was laura bush, on literacy, the obamas and specifically their work with veteranss championed causes. every first lady has done good. what has she done? virtually nothing. and they say, she is a private person. you know what? she now has an obligation to do good. when you get to that position, i don't think you have a right to stay home and have silly little press conferences like. this i think it is time for her to get active and for her to show some public mindedness. i will say that she did decide to take her first public trip and maybe this is a little bit of trolling. she decided to go to africa. which her husband once described as a bunch of s-blank, blank, blank countries. so perhaps that's a little kneedling on her part. if she comes one something remotely in the realm of what for example president bush did with respect to aids, i would be stunned. these people are about empty gestures, themselves, and they're fundamentally selfish people. >> the announcement of the trip, it was an announcement of a trip to a continent. i'm not sure the first lady's office

it's surprising and unintentional coming out of tge bush and laura bush and obama years.lly, is it really that unusual? for a first lady to put herself out there? >> i think it's extremely unusual to have these -- it's regular contradicting statements coming from the first lady and coming from the white house. a couple of weeks ago, i'm sure you guys remember, there was reports that donald trump criticized her for watching cnn. and her press team put out a statement saying the first lady watches whatever she wants. of course, everyone remembers the jacket controversy. she wore that jacket to visit migrant children that said i don't really care, do you? her press team put out a statement saying there is no hidden message on the jacket and trump came out and said it's a message against the press and it's talking about the press. there was some speculation that i don't really care message was about migrant childrenship i'm starting to wonder if that message was directed at her husband or about the politics of the white house in general, because she seems now intent on having

bush running for re-election i think in 2004 there was like a suggestion that maybe laura bush was supportived slipped in there right before election day and theory was she's doing that to let women voters know -- >> pro-gay marriage. >> yeah. >> this, i mean, first of all, never had a president to use such a huge platform, twitter, to insult. the president of the united states insult somebody and just opened a school. >> for at-risk kids. >> makes my head blow up to go there. interjecting civility in the conversation, it was wrong lebron said he wouldn't sit down with the president. i'm not talking to you because i don't like what you say. we should try to find a bridge. welcome to the debate. and continue to do it. i think that civility might be helpful. >> i'll second that. i also think, though, that the president doesn't care not because he's happy for her to disagree and don't think anybody else's comments are as important as his. he makes an assumption it doesn't matter what she says because i'm the president and what i say matters most. >> also notable that when he went to ohio he had

indeed, as former first lady laura bush pointed out in her op-ed article in "the washington post" a few months ago, quote we also know that this treatment inflicts trauma. those who have been interned have been twice as likely to suffer cardiovascular disease or die prematurely than those who were not interned. one japanese american hero, fred koramatsu, challenged this racist policy. he challenged it all the way up to the supreme court in a decision the court would long regrowth. a 6-3 decision. it upheld the constitutionality of these camps. seven decades later history embraces the view of the three dissenting justices. in the words of justice frank murphy racial discrimination in any form and in any degree has no justifiable part whatever in our democratic way of life. it is unattractive in any setting, but it is utterly revolting among a free people who have embraced the principles set forth in the constitution of the united states. -- in the united states of america. which is why a mission created by president jimmy carter in 1980 found that the internment camps were, and i quote a

and as laura knows better than i, there's justice department guidance in the bush administration andama administration that explicitly warns prosecutors against making decisions that could be seen as influencing an election. something that james comey, you know, apparently didn't read too closely but i've got to think that we are heading into the point where the idea of wrapping this up one way or another is kind of impinging on that getting too close to the midterm election. whatever the legal rationale, the idea that a sitting president would refuse to answer questions from a special counsel about something as significant as potential foreign interference in an american election, you have to wonder how it plays out with voters outside of the base of the president and how it's received by republicans in the swing districts feeling endangered after the close call in ohio yesterday. >> the argument being if you have nothing to hide what's the big deal of sitting down and simply telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? how do you see it? >> if you look at the ways
