but mr. bush may >> it's redoneundant i can withdraw that. >> i would agree with you, they're minor in the overall grand scheme of things, we put it in there for a reason, but people can disagree in terms of -- our experience with the surrender stuff, just as an fyi when people call us and ask for information, they're asking for who is spending the money and how much they're spending that's what they're asking for, what we try to do is just make the requirements for the ie reporting, the 496 and the member communication the same given that no one is calling about the vendor stuff. but people may disagree >> if they're not calling, that doesn't necessarily mean we have a law >> you are right. >> thank you. so i would like to motion that those two sections, page four, line 22-24, and page 31 -- for nonprofit exemption for nonprofit communications, first i will do this i will duplicate the file >> for the chair, i would like to try to address some of the amendment, you have suggested, we can talk abo

mr. bush attacked the obama administration administration's outreach to cuba. >> we need a president to go to havana in solidarity with the cuban people and i'm ready to be that president. >> he jabbed at hillary clinton. >> the presidency shouldn't be passed on from one liberal to the next. >> he took on some republican rivals serving in the u.s. senate. >> we're not going to clean up the mess in washington by electing the people who created it or have proven incapable of fixing it. >> it is mr. bush's own legacy though that could prove tricky. he's the son of the 41st president, george h.w. bush and the younger brother of the 43rd george w. bush. to try and avoid a visual reminder, he unveiled a campaign and website logo with his first name only. while his mother attended this event, his father and brother stayed away. >> not one of us deserves it by resume seniority or family or family narrative. it's nobody's turn. it's everybody's test and wide open exactly as the contest for president sh

i think i showed you one photo of president bush and mrs. laura bush wanted to be the first one to welcome the obama's to the white house. this is like within a few days after the election. he came there as president-elect, and i felt a tremendous sense of pride being able to greet the first. i've had that play back on me, you know, when i was the first to become the chief usher. the butlers were not supposed to be serving me like the first family but i never had to worry about a glass of water on a silver tray because they felt such a bright. but it had nothing to do with politics. it was just wow this is really something else. quickly, you know, i just had to go back to the bushes. although they were there like you said prior to bush 41 but that last day when president, excuse me president and mrs. bush laughter there wasn't a dry eye in the entire house your it was a sad day although it was a proud day to see the first african-american become a president. it was a sad day to see the bushes leave. >> they were so loud from the staff. i don'

is mr. bush trying to leapfrog senator graham on this? think even jeb bush us team would say lindsey graham has foreign policy cornered. what jeb bush is trying to show is not only through his work as governor when it comes to domestic policy, he is not week on foreign policy. one of the big vacuums is foreign policy -- because so many of them are new senators like marco rubio or have only served as governors, that clearly means a lack of international experience. jeb bush is saying not only do i know the players and the issues, but i can speak deeply and eloquently about those issues. you mentioned his speech in berlin -- he had a 15 minute q&a where he took on all comers from edward snowden to nato and russia and climate change. his willingness to do that on stage is where he thinks he sits in advance. phil mattingly joining us from washington, thank you. coming up, our chief washington correspondent interviews congressman paul ryan and finds out why the republican chairman of the house ways and means committee is one of president obama'

i do, i have seen amendments brought forward, possibly from mr. bush that i think makes some sense, but i want to consider those, i will hear from mr. minority next and we will have a discussion about them. >> sorry, i think president breed is happy to participate in that conversation she and i are uncomfortable with claims in the media, and she or i are doing anything to propagate swastikas, in the city, particularly as a gay man, i take particular offense >> i don't know what article you are referring to it seems like a hyper bollic thing that strikes up controversy, that doesn't change legislation, i'm sorry that is the discourse that is out there, despite what we want to do to our campaign and finance laws. >> thank you mr. president >> mr. minority? >> thank you chair avalos supervisor, tang. thank you very much and thank you to connor for that overview we're going to overlap a little bit in terms of the main points. i did prepare a power point which should be made available. and certainly as i go forward, if there are questions along the way, fee

look first of all, happy birthday mrs. bush. i think it's great. country has had enough of clintons and bushes. the family might have gone to her and said you might not want to be chatty this time around. but happy birthday to mrs. bush and many many years of health. >> they asked about the stereotype of her wearing the pearls and she said that's okay the pearls are to cover the wrinkles and it doesn't work any longer because you can't wear the pearls over your face. >> so clever. >> she's awesome. my favorite bush of all the bushes by the way. i wish she would talk. i love what she said the last time. i understand why she wants to stay quiet. my boy, is she talking about jeb or -- >> they did clarify that. it was jeb. >> a tip from mrs. bush have your daughters interview you. no more on national press corp go with your kids. >> if there were chelsea interviewing hillary all of you would be going -- >> it's a birthday celebration for a 90-year-old incredible bomb woman. >> all right. >> you kids need to go to preschool. they can learn just as much

a presidential candidate and let's start as he attacks some of his now official rivals like jeb bush. mrtrump: it took bush five days to answer the question on iraq area he did not know. i looked at rubio. he was unable to answer the question. is iraq a good thing or bad thing question what he did not know. he could not answer the question. how are these people going to lead us? bush is in favor of common core. i do not see how he can get the nomination. he is in favor of common core. how the hell can you vote for this guy question like you can't do it. john: how worried are you at all? mark: hie is constantly courted which is why it when the haters dismiss them he is courted. he has meetings with these guys. i would be worried but anyone who trumps thinks he can get attention by attacking. if he does get paid media, ooh. john: if jeb was any good he could turn this to his advantage. mark: i would be worried by the pure volume of the ads especially if he decided to go on tv soon. john: we noted donald trump has a lot of money. how much will he spend? mark: one of the things that happened

[applause] mr. bush: whatever else i have going for me, i have the joy of saying that the best wife he has. and together we've had the not so quiet joy of raising three children. george, noel and jeb. [applause] the boys have also brought us more bushes. their wives mandy and sandra and our grandchildren, the near perfect georgia, prescott, vivian and jack. [applause] mr. bush: campaigns aren't easy and they're not supposed to be. and i know there are a lot of good people running for president. quite a few, in fact. and not one of us deserves the job by right of resume, party, seniority, family or family narrative. it's nobody's turn. it everybody's test. and it is wide open. exactly as the contest for president should be. [applause] and they're not supposed to be. and i know there are a lot of good people running formr. bush: the outcome is entirely up to you, the voter. it is entirely up to me to earn the nomination of my party to take our case across this great and diverse nation. as a candidate, i in

a drag and jeb bush is from yesteryear, has not been in office for a decade, and in the case of mr. bush he is going to say marco rubio lacks experience and not withstanding the appeal rubio has from cuban americans jeb bush will point out his wife is a mexican woman he met many yours ago so he has two mexican american kids and fans him as -- himself as an honorary latino in florida, where they call this the biggest local political operation in history. >> we'll be right back there for every word of the "i'm in" speech. lea gabrielle is on the deck. >> we're talking about polls right now and of course as you and ryan mentioned everything within the margin of error but jeb bush leading a lot of. the. let's look at the real clear politics. this is the average of polls showing bush at 10.8%. his lead is just 2% over scott walker but ahead of all other republican contenders. looking how they compare to hillary clinton that's a different story. clinton leads every republican contender in the real clear politics averages of head-to-head matchups. the numbers sew rand paul trailing clinton by t

over the weekend mr. busheased a new campaign ad. >> the barriers right now on people rising up is the great challenge of our time. so many people could do so much better if we fixed a few things. my core beliefs start with the premise that the most vulnerable in our society should be in the front of the line not the back. this is what leadership is about. it's not just about yapping about things. there's a lot of people talking, and they're pretty good at it but we need to start fixing things. >> mr. bush's goal to try to appeal to nontraditional republicans. cnn's alina ma cha da was on the ground in miami where mr. bush's announcement will take place. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carol. he'll be making his announcement here on the campus of the largest college in the country and it comes after months of talk about his presidential ambitions. now, those preannouncement videos you mentioned revealed the campaign logo which consists simply of the word jeb followed by an exclamation point. there is

it's not quite what mr. bush said. if an officeholder votes on a project involving money variance or a contract, the office holder is then prohibited from receiving campaign money for the next 5 years or accepting a job from the company that appeared before the office holder. this is after the fact. this is the most anti-in incumbent that i have ever seen because it doesn't apply to the challenge. in pasadena it's worked quite well, the city attorney and city clerk advise the office holder and say you can't receive these campaign contributions after your vote. it's something to look at. it's not something to deal with the ballot committees because you are talking about the candidate control ballot committees. as i understand san francisco had it at one time and it was repealed several years ago. >> any other public comment? >> charles marsel.

mr. powell nor president bush -- mr. powell did not mislead the security council when he made a presentation in february of 2003. i was sitting right behind him with george tenet. he believed it in good faith. it turned out that the source, who should not have been believed, and this was a real intelligence failure, had deliberately deceived his handlers and deliberately said that -- fabricated the information because he was an iraqi source and they found out that he wanted us to exactly what he did in the wake of his testimony and that of others. so this was an intelligent failure, and it led to significant intelligence reform, but neither bush nor mr. powell were trying to mislead anybody. they believed that intelligence themselves and were very deceived by the fact that it turned out to be false. the last point i would like to make is i know this is a talk about the bush doctrine and counterterrorism, but i think we want to keep in perspective that the foreign policy of the bush administration ranged over an enormous

mr. donald trump. taking notable aim at jeb bush, who is just ahead of him in the latest polls.to really be taking on jeb bush, in particular, in your campaign appearances. why is that? >> i don't mean to. and i've been told that by others. i was actually told that by my wife. and i don't mean to. because i think he's a nice person. i watch him. i think he's a nice person. and i actually felt bad because i hit him very hard one day and i said, why am i hitting him so hard? >> his approach to you seems to be not taking you seriously. his campaign, not taking you seriously. >> trust me he takes me seriously. >> you think so. i was going to say, what is your message to jeb bush? >> my message is i think he's a wonderful person. and i look forward to seeing him. >> but in terms of him not taking you seriously. >> you know he takes me seriously. and his people, believe me he takes me seriously. >> why do you say that? >> because, they call. >> and what do they say? >> what would you think? >> stop it? stop attacking beb? >> you know what? they take me so seriously and they do call an

and mrs. bush was so organized she had the things boxed and packed well in advance which made the job easier with their new family comes then they don't want to sleep in the same bed or they want new carpet. we have to work with the transition staff to make sure certain pieces of the undisclosed location and the other pieces from presidents that the staff will pick out what mrs. obama wanted and did not want to. every first lady picks her own interior designer it is usually well-known. they will come into the house to see what paintings will come down. because each first vermeil has said different taste. though wallpaper changes. the point changes. that is planned out way in advance. they do have an allowance of $100,000 for each family. not all of them spend that. a lot is done in advance but one moving truck on the sell side with the incoming president and another moving truck, and though west side for the outgoing president. this is bush was tremendously gracious and allowed us to load most of t

another reason for bush to celebrate perhaps, a new quinnipiac poll shows mr. bushsing in on hillary clinton in florida, ohio and pennsylvania. let's talk about this with host of "the ben ferguson show," ben ferguson and director at the university virginia center for politics, larry sabato. >> good morning. >> ben, i have to say, jeb bush was charming on jimmy fallon, he became mr. personality. how much does this help? >> yeah. it helps tremendously especially for a campaign needing a second shot in the arm to get him back up in the poll numbers after he's dropped. part of that drop is because so many new people have officially announced. this is him becoming jeb instead of jeb bush. we saw with his campaign they want you to understand that he's not george bush 41 or 43. he's his own guy and they want you to get to know him. putting him on a late-night show and having this humor -- you couldn't help but like the guy more after watching this and seeing that he could have some fun with jimmy fallon. i think it's a very smart political move and i think it's going to he

mr. bush's most recent position on the war is that knowing what we know now he would not have gone into iraq. while polls show most republicans agree that the war was a mistake bush remains a revered member of the g.o.p. david shuster al jazeera. >> al jazeera america will bring you that rally live starting this afternoon at 3:00 eastern noon pacific. >>> an archbishop in minnesota has resigned over abuse allegations. he summited his resignation to pope francis. prosecutors charged the archdiocese for quote having turned a blind eye to mexico conduct. his resignations comes just days after pope francis created a tribunal to crackdown on sex abuse. meanwhile, an papal ambassador in the dominican republic where he abused children from you 2008 to 2013. he has been defrocked and is under house arrest at the vatican. his trial is set for july. >>> still ahead leaving town, sudan's president leaves a summit in south africa while high courts consider arresting him over war crime charge. >>> and in greek's glows what happens afternegotiations what happened? is. >> south africa's high court is launc

clinton and mr. bush. nt or understandable, what is the argument for all these other benefits, specifically the one that comes to mind is the office benefit? guest: this first started with mr. truman, who wrote to congress. congress under the constitution has the authority to establish pensions and salaries of the president. that should be clear. but mr. truman was spending over $30,000 a year just answering letters. so congress determined that they should allocate money for that. that is now $96,000 a year minimum for people just to answer letters and correspondence. congress then and congress now feels it is reasonable for ex-president's to have support. office support as well as staff support and they have it. the problem is, of course, if they make lots of money in another way, both the senate and the house feel that maybe they should pay for that themselves. host: here's a headline from a column from townhall.com and several other papers as well. millionaire ex-president's can pay their own way. he wri

quick reminder that mr. bush, governor bush, heading to new hampshire tomorrow, heading to iowa on wednesday and then thursday, jeb bush is in south carolina. so that's a bit of the lineup there. again, donald trump's i announcement or discussion, whatever it is mr. trupp is going to say live on c-span3 tomorrow morning at 11:00 a.m. eastern. >> this weekend the c-span cities tour partnered with comcast to learn about the history and literary life of key west florida. >> they found this house for sale. they bought it for $8,000 in 1931 and pauline converted this hay loft into this first formal writing studio. here he fell in love with fishing, fell in love with the clarity of his writing. knocked out the first of draft of "affairwell to armed" when two weeks 0 arriving. he had a line if you want to write, start with one true sentence. so a true writer, each book into be a new beginning where the tries again for something that is beyond attainment. he should always try for something that has never been done or tha

the pressure may be intense when mr bush the former florida governor, and marco rubio, a former senatorst year a u.s. scientific study identified miami as a u.s. metro area vulnerable to damage. in the past marco rubio said he doesn't believe human activity is causing climate change. and the senator argued capping emissions would be a mistake. >> i can tell you it would have a devastating impact on the economy. >> last weekend he said: at his presidential campaign announcement... >> lamedies and gentlemen this is a piece of coal. >> former senator santorum talked about fossil fuel and dismissed the pope with this: >>> before joining the seminary pope francis, known then in argentina as jorhey. given the pope's popularity political strat gets say the -- strategists say the candidates are wise to by homage. >> he's drawing people to the faith, all of which, as a converted catholic is cool. >> in the same thought, the candidate gave a clear indication that the u.s. climate change debate is becoming higher octane. >> religion ought to be about making us better as people, and less about thin

today mr. bushy announced his run. >> with their phone it in policies the obama clinton, kerry team is leaving a legacy of crises uncontained, violence unopposed, enemies unnamed friends undefended, and alliances unraveling. they have offered a progressive agenda that includes everything that progress. they are responsible for the slowest economic recovery ever. the biggest debt increases ever. a massive tax increase on the middle class. the relentless build up of the egg regulatory state and the swift mindless drawdown of a military that was generations in the making. >> joining us now from washington juan williams here in new york city mary katharine ham co-author of the new book "end of the discussion" how the left's industry shuts down debate. makes america less free and fun so would you vote for jeb bush, mary katharine. >> sure, i would vote for him. i think he has things to commend him. the question is whether republican primary voters of which i am one will make that choice when they have pl

so mr. bush 45, is there any sort of candidacy you'd like to officially declare?e decision. you're probably going to run. when are you going to announce? >> first of all. let me say how much i respect your service to our country. unfortunately you won't be around for me to announce a possible candidacy. (laughter) >> jon: did jeb bush just threaten to murder bob schieffer? is that what that is? (applause) you know, bob unfortunately you won't be around. you have ten days to live. >> bush ain't just dillydallying for his health. >> you're raising huge amounts of money for your soop pak, opponents are saying you're likely maybe violating campaign laws. once you declare as a candidate you can't do that anymore. do you feel you have violated the law here? >> no, of course not, i would never do that. >> jon: no, i would just have the laws change. jessica! how you? >> hello! (cheers and applause) jessica, obviously, you have been following jeb bush's campaign. >> absolutely, jon. wait a minute. since there's no official campaign there's no official coverage. so until he

carrie: that brings us to immigration which has been a problem for mr. bush with some members of his own party. how's he going to balance that? dan: it was very interesting this week. there was not a line about immigration in the prepared text of his announcement speech but about 2/3 of the way through it, there was a disruption up in the balcony and a group of young people stood up and across their shirts it spelled "legal status is not enough" which is a reference to his position which is he's in favor of a path to legalization for illegal immigrants but not a path to citizenship. in iowa, on wednesday, he took the issue head-on and basically said this is an issue killing the republican party. he said i'm for a variety of things, including a path to legalization and he said, frankly i don't see any other way to deal with 11 million people who are now in the shadows. we have to somehow bring them into the open and this is the way i want dodd -- to do it and he said as long as we, the republicans, let this issue linger, the democrats will use it as a wedge is

the family released this picture of mrs. bush and her family earlier today. she is partnering with private business for a $7 million global competition to create an app to boost adult literacy skills. happy birthday. >>> a new book by the president's one time right hand man states the 41st president does not get enough credit on both foreign and domestic policy fronts. the quiet man, the indispensable presidency of george h.w. bush is written by a former white house chief of staff and former new hampshire governor. >> one of the reasons i wrote the book was to try to gather all of his great achievements in one place and let people look at them. most folks remember him for what he did with putting together the relationship with thatcher and cole and helping create, as he called it a europe free and hold of all the european countries, liberating kuwait when saddam hussein invaded, including not only the soviet union, but the arab countries and not chasing the bomb into baghdad. in addition to that as you saw in the book his domestic record is probably as good a

i do not think mr. bush economic sanctions. i do not think that military action against iran was ever seriously contemplated. a related point, there was talk of the time subsequently of israel. i think there is serious question as to whether, given factors of distance, numbers of facilities, where they were located, and so forth, whether israel would have had the capability. i for one -- i am not sure that i would elevate the one major unilateral and preemptive efforts of the present took in iraq to the level of "d octrine." we will have to see how history treats this issue over time. i think it was a reaction to the circumstances that arose after 9/11, possibly some legacy issues from having bush 41 deal with iraq as well. i think that by the time the president had handed off power to president obama, i think you can point to a number of examples where mr. obama felt very comfortable carrying on the policies that his predecessor had bequeathed him. thank you.
