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

is disproportionately liberalal, me heavily than ever, and you see fewer conservatives tuning in laura bushnpr plays a shell game with how they describe their funding say they only get 1% from the federal government you dissect it and the hill did a great job on doing this. it's been done many years but it's misleading because they get a lot of government contracts and it ends up being federal funds flowing indirectly to npr. they got about 90 million in revenue from contracts and customers and 279 million much more than 1% when you really go through it. so, why hasn't the republican party moved to stop the madness here. >> between npr and pbs, we're $34 trillion in debt. we are paying more money in interest than we do on our national defense. >> laura: but where are the republicans? i have been listening to npr for 25 years. i enjoy it. basket weaving and bass wanna segments, i love those i have enjoyed them. it's ridiculous. it's not national public radio. it's liberal public radio. always has been. >> never a balance. chairman of the oversight committee we were doing serious investigatio

laura bush cfo for the puc. can i please have the slides? so, i'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 po

petersburg on a party boat with putin, putin's then-wife with laura bush, and they are all talking aboutsia will join the european union, how one day it might join nato, the alliance created to contain the old soviet union. nick: the mistakes you point out not only decades ago, strategic miss perceptions the u.s. had, but after a key moment, 2014, when russia invaded and annexed ukrainian crimea. and you write about, quote, the west's failure to grapple with a new reality. it was almost as if the u.s. and its nato allies work flying on autopilot assuming that small course corrections would safely land the plane. explain that. david: that was, i think in many ways, the most egregious example of the wishful thinking i referred to. putin went to the munich security conference in 2007 and said there are parts of mother russia that need to come back into the fold. and we pretty much ignored him and said he is making a lot of noise for people back home. seven years later he took crimea and of course the donbas. president obama did not want to challenge him. he said i am not going to go to war

katie: well, what's interesting is i didn't get to interview her, but laura bush doesn't do do many interviewsed, but i would have loved to interview her because, the bushes were in office when i was a teenager, and 911 happened when i was in high school. and emotions were very high about the wars we were engaged in. and it was all about him. so as a journalist, returning to her early and and exploring her tenure and her presence as first lady was super fascinating. their advisers told me she's really the one who was there to remind him where he came from. she was never somebody who wanted to be a policy heavy hitter. she was there to sort of help her husband in any way she could. but she also became a wartime first lady overnight. and she took over the president's radio address. and she took over an initiative to support afghan women and girls. she launched the national book festival, which is still around. so she was really a productive first lady, even though i think at the time people thought of her as more of a helpmate or a or a just a housewife kind of presence. she was super fascinatin

. >> ainsley: how does he get away with saying that laura bush. >> lawrence: they finally fired the guyare anti-israel protests that, is true. many have become anti-jewish we know that because they are saying they want to exterminate the jews. they are calling from the river to the sea i think this is my personal opinion we have allowed it to go too far we can't control it. we say this is free speech. it's not free speech. they are terrorizing people on campus. >> brian: number one, you have free speech but you can't hinder people going about their day, number one getting through traffic and also going to class. i think it's a total capitulation by this president. i know she has to worry about everyone's welfare. what about the kids that need to go to school. they don't care about this. they shouldn't. they have to finish up their finals. pay 70 or $80,000 a year for this ridiculous school because of the reputation it once had. and now all of a sudden they are told to go back to zoom because all these people are for terrorist organization. and a renegade group that has no interest by th
