laura bush published a statement yesterday, and i'd like to read the last paragraph because i found it really quite moving as to how we are going to address this issue. quote, the rule of law ultimately depends on the fairness and legitimacy of the legal system and achieving justice for all is the duty for all. this will require a consistent, courageous, and creative effort. we serve our neighbors best when we try to understand their experience. we love our neighbors as ourselves when we treat them as equals, in both protection and compassion. there is a better way. the wait of empathy and shared commitment and bold action and a peace rooted in justice. i am confident that together americans will choose the better way. and i appreciate so much the entire statement, but those last several words, as i said, really touched me. on the matter before us today, many communities in our country are starting to open, including in my state of west virginia. covid has had a terrible impact on our communities all across the country. the disease has affected every part of our lives. more than 105,00

enough biomass waste and that's the major limiting factor for ways to fuel proposals according to laura bush a clean transport campaigner the future doesn't look that bright for the technology but for good reason. i mean tradition issues and ways to reduce our limited. everyday lives we all try to reduce waste. safety where we have. said. so all of these points and to decide that there would always be a limited amount of. energy and for transport. ok it was worth a try but the fumes from fin they could rescue the combustion engine couldn't they . that's what they're working on at the carts through institute of technology inside these containers hydrogen and carbon dioxide are turned into gaseous hydrocarbons further processing turns them into liquid synthetic fuels to get to be true well it works. there are norms in place already in some areas and are fueling in other words i can fill up my car with it and don't need to worry about safety issues when i'm driving around. so. and the syn fuel can be almost carbon neutral as long as the entire production process is powered only by excess electr

bush now weighing in he and laura have issued a written statement it starts out like this it says laura and i are anguished. by the brutal suffocation of george floyd and disturbed by the injustice and fear that suffocate our country yet we have resisted the urge to speak out because this is not the time for us to lecture it is time for us to listen it is time for america to examine our tragic failures and as we do we will also see some of our redeeming strengths now larry president bush has actually gotten a lot of blowback for the statement from anti-war voice anti iraq war in particular voices people like president bush dick cheney paul wolfowitz and you know his whole bunch still today very divisive characters should former presidents like george w. bush weigh in on this present day problem given their own kind of dark history. or do the orders cheney and wolfowitz angrier were all those them. say again what war do mr wolfowitz the vice president cheney were they met although the anti-war protesters are saying that bush and cheney and his the rest of his cabinet don't have a place t

shootings and you open the letter and i want to be able to make it home to my family have a wife laura bush our troops have a life in the door we feel that and so i think. that that emotion is being lost and we got to find a way to bridge this gap and go find a way to look at legislation. that's going to be able to mend the fences on both sides because right now we are spirit we're hurting and we got to take a hard look at this this is all about immunity as i think it's also time that police feel the weight of the consequences when they go and pull the trigger. are you surprised that the police chief quit so worry over this to you i know it's come at a very very sensitive time but the same time there will be people who say look we still need to process we still need to understand exactly what happened do you think his resignation came to or what you think that may have been political but what are your full. you know i'm not here to discuss whether it was political or math of based upon this list that i just showed there are 2 cases 10 cases that she has had about it might have been 20 offic

primary sources, and in the unlikely it by lifetime that we will be able to look at the records of laura bushnd mrs. obama. that is 15 to 20 years in the future. and i will be otherwise occupied in that time. but the spring of 2011, we had 16 volumes that had appeared, covering how untapped i had contributed two of them. the others had been written by a variety of scholars who graciously and kindly, and for the royalty decided to write the book. the royalties were not much, but they were grateful anyway. the question then be game, how to handle edith roosevelt. she was the first lady from 1901 to 1909, and she was important. the problem was, there was an absence of other authors willing to step forward and help out. so i, as the editor of the series, faced a tough choice. i could look for an author to write a book. but that is often a problem or process which will take five to seven years. fine fine them, do the research, write the book and time passes. i was in my early seventies when this prospect began, and the prospect of chasing an author and not finishing the process until it was almost

anita mcbride, who served as laura bush as chief of staff, writing in an emotional facebook post, "thanksor, the biggest change will likely be closure of this spectacularly unique and perfect public space, closer to the white house than any other, that we the people get to use as our platform for dissent, for celebration, and for change." anita mcbride joins me now. she served in three white house administrations and is also a member of the white house historical association board. thank you so much for joining us. one of the really terrific points that i thought you made in this was, if you want to have the ear of the president, if you want to have your voice heard, literally, as a regular person, this is as close as you're going to get. by virtue of the action that made this fence go back up, you are denying people that write to go and have their voice heard. did i interpret that right? >> you did, you interpreted it exactly right, melissa. i think the fact that the fences are up, i understand it's temporary, but i also know having worked in three white houses and colleagues on both sid

i tell this to everybody and i learned it from laura bush and it wasn't because she was going to be embarrasseduse she didn't want to fall. >> dagen: juan, to the members of the media want the president of fall so that gives them weeks of something to cover because they are lazy and mean? that's the perfect story for them. they don't have to do any work or think about anything. they find it gleeful. >> juan: let's try to get the story straight. it was president trump to begin tweeting about this and invited all of this attention because he paid attention once he started tweeting, than a lot of people including the media started paying attention to what happened and it was trump of course who went after as you heard hillary clinton. every time she sneezed she was a death store. he's the one who says you know, joe biden is so sleepy. trump is a 74-year-old who eats a lot of junk food and hides everything about his health. i guess people might pay attention when this comes up. he makes it an issue and everybody pays attention and then you want to blame the media. i don't think that's right. >> dag

he is a man who is still going to africa with the then first lady laura bush.s still going there to help with issues of malaria, to help with so many other diseases that he was dealing with during his administration. so, this is not beyond the pale for me with george w. bush, former president, but he is holding strong and holding true to what he said about not contradicting any other president. he didn't do it about barack obama and he's following suit not doing it directly about this president, but he's talking overarchingly about the moment, not necessarily the president, who has blaring faults for many of us to see. >> all right, friends, appreciate you being with us this morning. >>> amid the protests, several states and washington, d.c., did hold primary elections. one controversial congressman on his way out the door. that news next. introducing tide power pods with cat & nat. that is such a large load, don't the stains sneak through? new tide power pods can clean that... whole situation. it's like two regular tide pods and then even more power. even the

next sunday it's not specified if it is directly related to the proposal but the details of the laura bush on saturday revealing mainland courts will have jurisdiction over certain national security rights. israel is a few days away from beginning to annex nearly a 3rd of the occupied west bank but as the july the 1st start date set by the prime minister benjamin netanyahu approaches a workable plan remains unclear the us is backing the annexation if netanyahu can reach agreement with his coalition partner benny gantz reinforce it as. benjamin netanyahu has plans for an accession have already been delayed he was told to slow down by the white house sort of the unveiling of the trump plan in january now that being complicated by the differences with his former rival now coalition partner benny gantz has called for coordination not just with the u.s. but also with arab neighbors. the trump plan and visit israel an extinct 30 percent of the occupied west bank with a future palestinian state given israeli territory elsewhere israeli officials have leaked various options in the media one is to

laura hughes and stephen bush, let's go back to talking to.much understandably wanting justice, and thatis understandably wanting justice, and that is what a lot of people are talking about in the us right now that there hasn't been justice for african americans in particular, who they say have been targeted time and time again by police in the us. yes, that's exactly the point. these protests have been triggered by this one event, but there is a long history here of african—americans being treated unfairly by the police. it also goes really deep into american society and there is economic inequality there as well, andl economic inequality there as well, and i think that the mass unemployment that we are seeing in america, the coronavirus pandemic has alsojust really america, the coronavirus pandemic has also just really heightened this —— the social inequalities that exist and have existed in america for a very very long time. that's why this situation has fled up quite as badly as it has. it's always rumbling under the surface here, and it's

i don't believe the former president's statement on behalf of he and laura bush on tuesday was directedpresident. it was directed at the situation that the country finds itself in. but yes, if you want to talk about the politics of the moment, these three things, the pandemic, the economy, and the state of race relations in america are going to be big issues in the fall campaign and how each candidate handles those issues or handles their responsibilities in the case of the president are going to be key to the decision of the voters when we down to the end. but again, we've got to be careful about putting this all in the political environment. i don't think people look at president trump and say he was responsible for the pandemic. i don't even think that a large number of people look at him and say he's responsible for the economic, you know, sort of lockdown we've had to go through as a country and what that did to jobs and the economic growth but what they will look at the president on is how is he handling each of those three things. not good marks on the coronavirus, pretty good ma

these writings will be available and called travel first lady with a forward by former first lady laura bush >> we must talk a little bit about their posting in saint petersburg and her incredible journey back to her husband. can you tell us what's important about that story? >> they're years and st. petersburg are difficult in some ways, st. peter's book is a hardship outpost. it is cold. it is for voting. they're not a lot of other women there. most of the diplomats wives don't travel with their husbands when they get sent to say petersburg. they have a baby girl, louise and catherine adams and the child dies just after about a year. that really devastates her mother louisa. it's very painful. and for john quincy, he is also very much torn apart by this. but the war of 1812 here is broken out. john quincy sent to negotiate a treaty and he leaves louisa with her youngest son charles francis in st. petersburg. and eventually when piece is resolved and he is sure that hill either be returning home or be sent to london, he asked her to join him. so she makes this arduous in perilous journey fr

laura bush took me out and showed me, and she told me that her husband quite mischievously lead out thebritish prime minister and showed him, maybe not diplomatic, but it was funny. >> how complete was the destruction of the white house? >> pretty complete inside. it had to be almost wholly rebuilt. >> >> how long did it take to rebuild? >> well, they didn't move back in. it wasn't until the man rose administration that they were able to move back into the white house, so i would say a few years. >> >> we've got 18 minutes left and it's time to move in this brief look at a very complex part of our history and a very interesting and long life to the retirement after the madison administration. james and dolley returned to their beloved montpelier in virginia piedmont and we're going to visit that place next. >> so if you were a visitor to montpelier, you would enter here at the front door and he would be shown immediately into the great drawing room. mrs. madison had many lady friends that she would invite here. margaret baird smith was a favorite of hers and the daughters of thomas jen

laura bush told me president bush showed the prime minister. >> how complete it was destruction?etty complete inside. >> how long did it take to rebuild it? >> the mad sons didn't move back in. it wasn't until the monroe's administration that they were able to move back in the white house so i would say a couple of years. >> about 18 minutes and it's time to move. a complex part of our history and long life to the retirement after the madison administration. james and dolley return to their beloved montpelier in virginia and we're going to visit that place next. >> if you were a visitor you would enter here and be shown into the madison's great drawing room. mrs. madison had many lady friends she would invite here. the daughters of thomas jefferson were also frequent visitors. her most intimate circle included her families, her sisters especially were always welcome guests as well as many nieces she had who often stayed for extended visits here. the drawing room combined many different themes into one. you see many of the faces of the great american statesman, but you see figures

it's an old truck, everybody knows it, i'm just kind of disappointed that the bush library l4. >> laura: it was like 2005 and kanye west said george bush doesn't care about black people. remember after katrina, we all defended him. then, when you see how this is all going down -- they don't care about the curfew, after the police, graffiti, everywhere on signs everywhere. young men and women screaming at these poor national guard troops that are just doing their jobs, they don't get paid a lot of money, screaming the most disgusting things in their faces an inch away from their face. where does this leave us as a country? >> we are in serious trouble and the reason we are in search trouble is not because people are protesting police totality. we all agree police brutality is bad. we all agree racism is bad and we should all agree that polluting and writings bad. the big problem is that you have one side that's driving a narrative, that america is systemically racist, evil, corrupt to its core, the 16-19 mentality and has been writ large for an enormous percentage of the population and n

and laura bush had a beautiful statement yesterday that i wish everyone would read but as far as republicanslet's hope that whatever they're thinking they would be voting in support of some of the initiatives that now we should be paving the way for. we're talking about qualified immunity so that you cannot prosecute a police officer for breaking the law whether it's ending racial profiling, whether it's issues that relate to profiling and the list goes on and hopefully as part of the comprehensive package we can get that going. we certainly want to honor what happened to george floyd. so tragic and so fine. it's just an explosion of so much else that is out there, a tinderbox and in terms of economic injustice, social injustice, environmental injustice, the list goes on. we're talking about how to address how covid-19 is affecting people of color in a disproporti disproportionate way. whether we're talking about helping people at this difficult economic time and issues that relate to food and rent and the rest at this difficult time. for all americans including people of color in our countr

bush and former first lady laura. >> they said it more eloquently than i said it. i have to commend the form eaerd first lady. the former president and first lady who served the country eight years should do something other than a statement. we all should do something other than a statement. this is a call to action. they are saying the right things. a lot of people are saying the right things, but it is a question about doing the right things in this moment. if you don't do the right thing, when you see someone dying on television from a police officer kneeling on his neck for eight minutes, if you don't do something when you see the videotape from someone who had the authority of a police officer shooting a long gun on a street in georgia and taking the life out of them, when are you going to do something? if you don't do something, there will not be change. we will see worse images in the future if there is not change. we saw civil rights marches on washington and 50 years later we are seeing more marches and they are more violent than the civil rights movement.

with me are the political editor of the new statesman, stephen bush and political correspondent for the financial times, lauraomorrow's front pages starting with. .. the metro says the covid—19 divide in the country is widening, with fatalities and new infections far more common in some regions than in london. the guardian reports that the opposition leader — keir starmer has accused borisjohnson of causing a collapse in public confidence over the government's handling of the coronavirus crisis and warned that number ten will be directly responsible if the infection rate starts to rise again. the daily telegraph focuses on the uk's travel restrictions — with the government saying 14—day quarantine restrictions for anyone entering the country are vital to prevent second peak of coronavirus. according to the daily mirror, foreign holidays could be possible this summer as it predicts controversial quarantine plans look set to be relaxed. the daily mail also says ministers are rushing to soften 14—day quarantine plans — with health secretary matt hancock saying he was optimistic about people's holiday prospects.

. >> laura: no legislating from the bench. i wonder if president bush, what he was thinking today? does he regret this? is he has disappointed as the pro-life americans who took roberts at his word? roberts votes opinions on key cases have run the gamut from bad to worse. of course, the 2012 obamacarert opinion and again 2015 literally inventing justification for that law that congress never even cited. then in 2019, roberts blocked the inclusion of a citizenship question on a census and notot because he thought it was legal but only because he disagreed with president trump's motivation. then two weeks ago, he and justice gorsuch decided to rewrite the 1964 civil rights act with gender identity and sexuality as protected classes. now, no one on earth believes that congress intended to do what roberts described. but now it is the law of the land. the top office with that blowout week of poetry will, roberts was the swing vote with the courts democrat nominee to withhold clearly unconstitutional daca program. president trump now has 200 judges confirmed and two solid conservatives o

. >> laura: pastor scott, let's take a trip down memory lane, 1989 when president george h.w. bushorth his plan to get drugs off the street. here is how biden reacted. >> the sad part is we have no more police in the streets of our major cities than we had ten years ago. the president's plan doesn't a include enough police officers to catch the violent thugs. the president should triple -- triple -- the commitment he's made tonight for police, prosecutors, and judges for our cities and states. >> laura: pastor scott, that was joe biden before he was mugged by the new radical reality. >> but see, that joe biden right there wasn't really black. now we've got black joe biden. he's saying whatever appeals to the black community, so of course, if he thinks the blacks don't want police, okay, then let's not have police. if you think the blacks do -- and now, once he gets in power, he'll change his tune. he's saying whatever he has to say right now, when he's talking about police reform, he's saying whatever he has to say right now to get that black vote. but back then, we heard the true

. >> laura: practically speaking and by the way, leon panetta, we don't have to play but leon panetta former secretary of defense under obama, same pattern here, bushkind of the old mainstream, he basically said the same thing. so john, let's talk about this practically. so apparently the president of the united states should just standby if blue state governors decide, will, if the city has to burn to help us convince people we have to get rid of trump, then, we've tried our best and we cannot do much more. what is the practical outcome of that as losing america? >> and that is why he floated the use of the insurrection act. by the way, this is not a constitutional violation that has been used dozens of times in the past and circumstances very similar to what we have here, in the chicago rights in '68 that lyndon johnson used it for or los angeles riots after rodney king were much more compliant geographically than what we see going on here. it didn't appear to have that kind of coordinated effort like we see with -- all of a sudden on street corners near protests, pallets of bricks and cement showing up that can be used to inflame. >> laura: peop

bush said all right he wasn't going to support the president. he certainly has it that in the letter with laurauld i ask you this? the gym mattiss and the others knowing the wrath they would face for doing so, but more and more are doing so, what does that tell you? in battleground states where he needs all that republican support and then some, is he in trouble they are? >> in the battleground states, it is really interesting. one state he should be most focused on is michigan. double digits in the polls in michigan. he has some ground to gain. we look at other battleground states like florida, pennsylvania, wisconsin, north carolina, arizona, all very important states to win. he is within the margin of error. we look at polling nationwide, he hasn't slept that much. he hasn't lost as much ground as you would think based on the coverage of the president's behavior over the last two weeks to simply he's holding his ground. in these key battle ground states, he's definitely within the margin of error. i think you are also seeing that his support among republicans has not shifted. he still has th
