katie: i am getting at laura bush had a style, and analyze ea modern first lady speeches, laura bushcating that very, it came across as invested and relateds to her administration, but not intrinsically linked, not overtly political. it was more through the lens of a mother and wife and supporter of her husband w■. caredbout these issues, not as a senior advisor with her own extensive track record understanding the political implications around everything that happened. ch was very much through the lens of a supporting le, which does not make it any less effective, but it is a different approach. peter:■ a more traditional approach, yes? katie: i think you could say at for sure, yes. ■.■@even someone like eleanor roosevelt wasd have her own pres conferences and independent travel schedule f but she very , even she would say that is my husband's domain when asked about or foreign policy. at laura bush kind of adopted that model, even more adna that. peter: here is laura bush 2005 at the white house correspondents association dinner. >> again. dinners for years.

laura bush, after she graduated from college, chose to work in depressed areas of both houston and dallas and she wanted to do something to improve the lives of some of the children in these areas. and she believed education was a way of doing it. she also, through literacy programs, was trying to do what she could to equalize some of the educational opportunities in this country. she did a special program on the harlem renaissance as a way of really uplifting and all americans the important cultural contributions of african-americans during that particular period of time. and then finally, we came full circle with michelle obama when a descendant of enslaved workers became first lady of the united states. and as i said, she made us aware of what her history was and how different it was from anyone else who had worked in the white house. and that white house historical association project is indirectly one of the legacies of the statements that she made. but she also used her speeches and her platform as first lady, as lady bird johnson and others used their platform to encourage bridge y

laura bush cfo for the puc. can i please have the slides?'m here to present the second quarter of the current year fy23-24 budget variance report to you. overall we are projecting positive operating results wastewater power and clean powersf, but shortfall for water. water and wastewater revenue projected below budget. the budget was adopted assuming the drought surcharge remain. it was removed last spring. this short fall is off-set by state grant funding from the pandemic for water and wastewater and recently discussed at the commission. [indiscernible] large savings on expenditure side are also anticipated and power purchase costs due to higher generation. additionally with savings in distribution cost due to errors discovered in pg&e calculations and savings and transmission costs. the clean powersf revenue projected to exceed budget due to increased wholesale sales and slightly lower retail sales. additional small saving is projects said in power purchases. overall, year end financial results are projected to meet or exceed the policy t

i remember the first ladies getting together laura bush, michelle obama, and others and they all gotdo a public statement about the children. where are those first ladies right now as you say 80,000 children have been lost and we are -- our government cannot account for them and human trafficking happening it is outrageous you're also right about raiding of the funds and emergencies whatting right now and wildfires and other things in the future and less money to solve problems to help americans because of that. ept to move to something else this is happening in your home state of florida. conservatives are applauding fact that university of florida is eliminating literally firing all of the dei diversity equity and inclusion employees how is that going over in your state? [laughter] >> it is going over resoundingly. as the representative as the congresswoman, for the gator nation i live in gainesville actually i have to applaud governor desantis and ben sasse that is a long time coming you've heard me say it before and i'll say it again you play stupid games you win stupid prizes wh

laura bush, spoken from the heart. michelle obama, becoming. are these revelatory? mr.zada: you know, i have not i have read, of those, michelle obama's becoming. actually, my colleague at the new york times katie rogers has just written a book about first ladies. peter: she has been on this program. mr. lozada: first ladies, i believe from hillary clinton to the president and the evolution of that role. i saw an early version of the book and i would recommend it. what i liked about "becoming" is that it showed michelle obama's reluctance to really engage fully in barack obama's political life and aspirations. sheo be a good lawyer and they could just have a nice life living in chicago. there's one moment where i think she asks him, when will this be enough? like how much ambition do you need to have? and so i always think of that when i hear these rumors that michelle obama might run for president one day. she did not seem to care much, or share political aspirations at least early on. peter: carlos lozada in "the washington book," here is a brief description of to vic

is you had the first lady, u michelle obama, laura bush, hillary clinton writing letters, you know, forr if children who were being separated at the border. in 2016, '17, '18, the democrats were effective many making this a racial issue. -- in making this a racial issue. the border was about a race, was about republicans who, you know, hated mexicans and didn't like the brown-finishing ication of america, and now i think people are realizing this is the not about race, this is about national security. this is about chaos and crime and disorder. will: and economy. rachel: and the economy. it's a war on the working class as well. and i think that's the shift we're seeing. charlie: remember when aoc went to the border and told everybody people were drinking out of toilets, and it turned out she was really bad at push and she misinterpreted -- rachel: i didn't know the story, but i love it, charlie. [laughter] charlie: people said, oh, it was the greatest thing,-hysterical. she went and talked to these the people and came out and she was literally crying claiming they were drinking out of t

bush. laura engram, hate mongering on fox news every night.he judiciary. they might work to overturn free and fair elections or whipping up hatred against muslim immigrants, but either way they're preaching from the gospel clarence thomas helped to write. and i'm sure crystal clanton will be set along the exact same path once she graduates from this boot camp. >> this is clarence thomas' arm ay. thanks for making the time tonight. that is our show for this evening. "way too early" with jonathan lemire is coming up next. >>> it's about telling a story. people have -- people are breaking their necks

bush. laura engram, hate mongering on fox news every night. not all of these individuals go directly into the judiciary. they might work to overturn free and fair elections or whipping up hatred against muslim immigrants, but either way they're preaching from the gospel clarence thomas helped to write. and i'm sure crystal clanton will be set along the exact same path once she graduates from this boot camp. >> this is clarence thomas' arm ay. thanks for making the time tonight. that is our show for this evening. "way too early" with jonathan lemire is coming up next. >>> it's about telling a story. people have -- people are breaking their necks putting food on the table every day or about the kid who may be sick. and am i say tell a story, i'm not talking about making a story. i'm telling how you feel because people trust you all. your neighbors trust you. >> that was part of a discussion between president biden and former presidents obama and clinton who all came together last night in new york city for a major fund-raiser. we'll have much mo

laura: allen? >> i think the way to get away is cartel making legalized pathway for these individuals to get through. the concept when there was president bushr was 100 percent secure is just a falsehood. that's not something we can ever reach in our society because we are not europe. we don't have a small border we have a very vast border. better way to manage the border and influx of people. part of it dealing with the push and part of it is managing the border better. >> laura: let's see how the border was managed in texas. this new foot tang that i don't believe has been shown before from the "new york post." we see people literally using bolted cutters to break. destroying property before they stepped foot in other country. how is this acceptable in any way, shape, or form? i don't think any of the three of us would allow anyone that we didn't know to break and entering into our homes on a daily basis, we certainly wouldn't allow it. we would try to get help to stop it. but we are supposed to say this is all right. allen, i think americans and it's not political at this point. this is just tactical. the whole world with l. want to come

lowana bush on me and that's notable because she was one of the palestinians released during the ceasefire and exchange deal between homeless and israel in november. and now she's back in custody. laura han has more on those rates from ramallah. it is all happening on a nightly basis. and we've seen a huge optic since october, the 7th. but really one of note last night happened in the haitian refuge account. that's near bessler. had a woman called about it, a g, a jamie, a. she was one of the 240 people who has been released as part of a captive prisoner exchange deal with between, between our mazda and israel. in november. i know we spoke to the family and they said she has been, we arrested, she's one of 11 people who have been, we arrested now and the is ready forces came to the home. they notes in the door, which is quite unusual cuz sometimes they do just break in and run, sucked the homes beforehand, and they told her that to be taken for field interrogation for 10 minutes. she couldn't knew she may well be taken away. she also gets dress to bring clothes with her. they allow that she's being taken away, but it is interesting to know that she was being held without any form of

bush in 1992. jimmy carter in 1980, they were both defeated for re-election. that's the historical challenge that biden faces. >> laurawell, the real challenge that biden faces is that the results of his policies are deeply unpopular and deeply damaging to the country. open borders, lower wages, more trans stuff, more war. china emboldened. so any president, even a president like at the top of his, you know, game in communicating would have a really hard time selling that as something good for america. and for that reason his communications team, his comms team, which certainly runs the white house gaslighting and spin from their pals. they even tried bringing in fake presidents to help the real president. i never spoke to some presidents all at one time. what i big speech i have to do coming up state of the union? any advice you have for me delivering my speech. >> well, sir, in my capacity as president, all i had to deal with was the media. >> we just had invaders from out of space coming in. >> i do feel i should just point out one thing there is no crying in politics. >> laura: i just want to stop for a moment goi
