when us administration declared operation enduring freedom in 2001, first lady, laura bush, this has proved to be transformative and if you witness this, after a long course of time. it was more than anything else, the women of afghanistan are at the critical juncture, taking this idea of afghanistan over it. the democratic ideals, for women's rights may fall back with the disengagement of the united states and afghanistan. can we say women are yet again at stake with the history of afghanistan? >> as mentioned before, i want to read one other question on that platform. it is not pakistan, what are the chances of supporting the taliban? the commentary suggests that. starting to address those questions. >> they are all good questions. we don't have time to do them all justice. the one that was directed toward me, i think it is entirely understandable by women in afghanistan are concerned. completely understand that. the personal perspective, policy. from the perspective of analyzing what the us policy options are, what the us is likely to do. the united states did not engage afghanist

and that's considerably. >> laura bush never gave such a speech, before 9/11. if the united states were going to end the game afghanistan to liberate afghan women they had manner opportunities but they didn't do it until after 9/11. that speech to legitimate something that took's for other reasons and that basic reality is still real today.>> gone the question of what the taliban leadership would sign up for, signoff on unfortunately i think, nobody still knows. we seem to be very close to getting to know that but we don't know that, we do know some of their considerations. laurel is right to say find consideration for the leadership is maintaining the unity of the movement. it also want to protect themselves as being on course to a -- establishment of an islamic emirate or something like that and whatever deal they want to do, they want to protect themselves as being on course to a full withdrawal of u.s. forces. phase of three things that have most concern. one of the problems, i'm worried about the question. which is that the yes, yes negotiations i negotiat

i am one of the honorary cochairs of georgetown program on behalf of afghan, women, along with laura bush. and i would make just three points. first, there is an election in afghanistan that starting today, and it is under tremendous threat from the taliban, threatening people not to vote, trying to continue delegitimize the government of the country. i'm hoping that the election continues and concludes and the outcome will create support for the new government. because at the end of the day one of the problems that we face going back to two administrati, before this one, is the refusal of the taliban to negotiate with the government of afghanistan. originally it was because the government had been installed by the international community, which was the only option since it was impossible to do otherwise at the time. but since then there have been elections, not perfect, but you know we have experienced ourselves with not perfect elections. [laughing] i think the fact is they were judged to be free and fair, even with all their flaws. so governments were installed. but the taliban refused

. >> not -- >> more laur laura bush is she .be first lady and be out there write a great book like michelle obama. hillary's books are dumb, and self-important, and all she talks about the fbi, and james comey, and -- -- >> the title of first chapter. >> like okay, hillary clinton i believe she is ready to listen. to extend she listens to anyone outside of new york and dc it gets filtered threw her brain, she turns into a paternalistic politician out of touch, it will not change, but she likes to feel relevant, she will not run, she just wants to feel included. kennedy: how that for followers had a taste of liz, kamala and amy golden globe and tulsi gabbard. saying that hillary is such an amateur. >> this is about a book too? let's call it what it is, she has a new book coming out, coauthored with her daughter, the book about gutsy women, she needs to get money. >> if country were not buying favor, and they were just buying benevolence, why are they not still giving. >> they are not making money they did because she is out of po

laura bush took a liking to her. which is not surprising. to serve as her deputy press secretary. she spent four years in the white house from 1989 until 1993. george obviously took a liking to her. he made her chief of staff. it is safe to say that nobody knew george and barbara bush better than jean. i think i would include the bush family. the birthday parachute jumps. the humanitarian collaborations with bill clinton. she was a part of all of it. if not orchestrating all of it. of was one of the handful people at his bedside when he died. the beautiful memorial services you all saw in december were planned and executed by jean. jeanrobably don't know it, has written or edited five books. none with her name on it. memoirsbarbara's published in 1995. another was towards bush's letters. pearls of wisdom is scheduled to come out next spring in time for graduation. bush.olved around barbara -- who ismou famous for giving advice. all the proceeds from the book, jean is donating to the barbara bush foundation for family literacy. it iscond book, i think set for release in 2021 will b

bush and former first lady laura bush writing, she covered us for decades as a talented, tough, and respectedr. she became a friend. tonight speaker nancy pelosi calling her a trail blazer who forever transformed the role of women in the newsroom. and save the children remembering a tireless champion for children. to all of us here at abc news, she was cokie. she made us all better. her brilliant mind, her sharp wit, but above all, it was her kindness. >> and her kindness will be missed. something that really stood out was former president obama nail it. a role model in an industry come dominated by men. the storied i've been hearing the last 24 hours, a lot of people saying in front of the scenes, yes, she was someone whose presence behind the anchor desk inspired a lot of young women, including myself, across this country. behind the scenes she was really a pioneer for journalists here at abc and helping them carve their own paths. there's still a lot of work that needs to be done but it's not forgotten, the doors that she opened. >> she was a trailblazer and she made everyone feel like the

i'll be on stage for an hour with the president and laura bush tonight from houston so tomorrow morningay some of the things that we talk about obviously this -- this attack is something that i will ask the president about, what does he think? what would be the appropriate response as well he is obviously a president who is well aware of geopolitical risks. >> yeah. talk is cheap, brian about fossil free energy and things, and that's why it's kind of ironic we're going to get a look at what happens when you disrupt, you know, the free flow of oil and fossil fuels. i mean, at least at this point, i mean, it's fine to talk about an economy of the future, but that's -- there's going to be -- we have to do a lot of restructuring to get somewhere like that and have the global commerce and economy that we're used to. i don't know >> yeah. >> you know? >> joe, you're exactly right i mean, listen, here's the thing. when we talk about renewables versus fossil fuels, everybody paints it as red versus blue, us versus them, right that's not the case. the reality is with population growth and the --

. >> laura bush never gave such as before 9/11. if the u.s. were going to invade to liberate afghan women, it had many opportunities to do so. that speech was to legitimate something for good reason. that reality is still real today. >> on the question of what the taliban leadership would sign off on, unfortunately, nobody still knows. we seem to be close to getting to know that, but we don't know that. we know some of their considerations. prime consideration for maintaining the movement. they also want to project themselves as being on course to establishment of an islamic emirate or something like that. whenever deal they want to do, they want to project themselves as being on course to receiving a full withdrawal. those are the things they seem to have most concern of. i'm worried about the question, which is negotiations and negotiated outcome are important, but they are not the whole thing in peacemaking. in afghanistan, setting the conditions were a negotiated outcome, now is a good time for everybody to reflect on what options there ar

here is tonight i'm actually going to be sitting on stage with former president and first lady laura bushwide ranging interview it's not going to be televised we'll do that, but of course i'm going to ask the former president about this, what should be the property response. i'll have that tomorrow but i look forward to your rick perry interview. there's a lot to say here with secretary perry. >> yeah. absolutely, brian. going back to this idea of hedging, the flip side of that is if you see prices higher, it also allows the oil producers to be able to lock in on higher prices going out into 2020 which i would imagine is considered a positive for them. >> it has to be, obviously, morgan that's a great point we've talked so much about the debt levels of these companies and if you're hedged out, today if you're a cfo of an oil and gas company, you have one job and that job is to try to lock in hedges for next year while you can. your equity is up to try to reduce the risk of all that debt that you've got on your books. here's the reality a huge attack. hopefully nobody was injured or killed

bush and former first lady laura bush calling cokie a talented, tough and fair reporter. we respected her drive and appreciated her humor. she became a friend. former president obama saying of cokie, a trailblazing figure. informing voters about the issues of our time and mentoring young journalists every step of the way. born in louisiana in 1943, cokie roberts lived and breathed politics. the daughter of two longtime u.s. representatives, hale boggs and lindy boggs who collectively served the people of new orleans for 46 years. after working as an anchor at 21 she became a reporter in new york, then political commentator at npr. ♪ >> announcer: from abc news -- >> reporter: and in 1988, cokie found her home right here at abc news. her extraordinary life and career and inspiration to countless women. >> you all talked about the men having an agenda but your agenda got disrupted too. >> reporter: a trail blazer herself bravely fighting a cancer diagnosis in 2002 while working throughout her career to highlight the untold remarkable contributions of women in american histo

laura bush was there as well. the message there was very pointed. >> during the obama administration i had the honor of going to camp david a couple of times. when you go there is a lodge with jimmy carter's notes from back in 1978. you can't help be struck by the history of the place. clearly this is a president who wants his legacy to be a peace maker. it is one reason he has gone to singapore to meet with kim jong-un. i would like to think this is learning that a photo-op that doesn't have clear deliver bibles and enforceable is not worth undertaking. i suppose he got cold feet, whether the tentative agreement would leave two-thirds of troops in afghanistan. nothing is on the level. there is clearly a back story. it was something not because of this unfortunate incident involving an american soldier. >> he wanted his legacy to be a peace maker. yet there is so much ignorance of the history here. >> right. this is the first time we see a president actively working against reading and learning about the united st

i think laura bush would be good . these are ladies who know the country, the people. host: that would be quite the race if they were challenging each other, it's unlikely but it's interesting to think about. i do feel that these are we very strong women, and need a very strong person in the white house, male or female. but i do think these two women would be quite a wonderful contest. host: thank you for the call. according to real clear politics, former vice president joe biden maintains a very narrow lead in new hampshire, we are five months before the primary, the former vice president at 21% followed by senator bernie sanders at 19%, senator warren at 15% and senator kamala harris at 9%. tulsiuttigieg at 7% and gabbard at 3%. 19 candidates speaking today. dan is joining us from massachusetts. caller: good morning, thank you for having me on. a good portiond of my life to really digging into american politics. starting with the election of george bush, because things seemed pretty messed up from that point on. i learned at an early age that you can't make a persona

don't we remember laura bush then first lady in 2001 she famously said that the fight for terrorism includesf women. she credited the u.s. invasion as a direct reason why half began women were no longer, quote, imprisoned in their homes. here we are 17 years later talking about negotiating with the taliban. it may have been 9/11, that was the main reason we invaded afghanistan, but it was the plight of afghan women that was used to really win the pr and optics battle for the war. and you know, mika, apparently negotiations with the taliban have been going on for the past year. they've had about nine meetings in doha, in qatar, and with no women present, behind closed doors. we've heard no discussion of -- of what is going to happen to the fate of afghan women. so we've heard absolutely no discussions and i think it's undeniable that we have totally exploited the plieght of afghan women. and in fact we're inviting the taliban to discuss and deal directly with them. it's absolutely horrifying and shocking. >> it sometimes seems that president trump is caught between his desire to seem strong i

laura. during the bush and obama years, there were thousands of conservatives, quiet, underground.ve to go deeper underground, but more are coming out. you look at the homeless situation in their backyard in los angeles, it's terrifying. you'll talk about that later, but no, there are major, major studio players, artists, actors, musicians, again, below the line people, and your common joe. i was in a costco the other day, locally, and people are coming up to me, they saw me on the show, and they kept going, thanks a lot, man. whispering. >> laura: [laughs] >> armenians, asians, hispanics, middle easterners. it's a variety that continues to happen. the country is understanding what is happening, when they saw it happen today with corey lewandowski. the world that the democrats have made of america right now, and i think people are waking up in a much stronger way. they may not be vocal about it. >> laura: probably under the radar a little bit, but they are going to raise $15 million, and there is a lot of small ticket donors who showed up today come up in the bay area. and more com

[laughter] rubinstein: what was thbiggest surprise when-- se the first day you're in the oval office? it really surprised me how easily i could be turned into a two-dimensional cartoon. in walks mh,dad, and i said, elcome, mr. president." he said, "thank you, . president." rubinstein: oh, it must have been somethg. woman: would you fix your tie, please? rubinstein: well, people wouldn't recognize me if ti.

bush: the day after the presidency, expecting someone to bring me the coffee. heh! laura didn't bring the coffee. [louder laughter] i think the thing that startled me was, uh, the sense of having no responsibility. in other words, during the presidency, du kind of become accusto to the responsibility you have. first it's pretty great, and then, slowly but surely, it becomes a natural part of your life, and then you wake up thand that wbablyyou have the most stunning thing for me. but when you're both president, when you try to do somhing, you have somebody on thopposite political party, typically, whoa,ays it's a terrible i and so it's hard to get things done in washington-- maybe harder than it's ever been now--but hard when you were theres werd. wh, you're a former preside do you find it's easier to get things done? s, bush: epending on what you're trying to do. clinton: yeah, i think it depends. first of all, you have to realize d what y't have, and what you do. it was--it's really true that-- i loved the job, and i loved all the responsibility. by things you have much
