and mrs. bushhad pretty much stepped to the background while george bush got us through those first few weeks in particular. after the 9/11 attack. when she stepped forward again, she stepped forward i think as his partner and espouse. as tammy said, it was a persona she had already established, and it was a really good choice on the part of the bush administration, to have her do that particular address at that time. >> one of the other things about first ladies, just like presidents, is that they don't go away after the term is over. and her commitment to afghanistan has continued since they left office. i think in that sense it's given her the credibility to speak out. since we've had the withdrawal, the human rights issues going on there, and that has been true for so many other first ladies have almost done more because they established those connections, that credibility. they had that platform and continue to use it. my -- person texted me the chat function is not working on youtube for some

johnson mrs. bush's early role was defined by an unexpected national tragedy 9/11 on november 17th. 2001 laura bush made history while advocating for a worldwide effort to focus on the brutal treatment of afghan women and children by the town van machine during the weekly presidential radio address, mrs. bush was the first first lady to deliver the address in its entirely good morning. i'm laura bush and i'm delivering this week's radio address to kickoff a worldwide effort to focus on the brutality against women and children by the al-qaeda terrorist network and the regime its supports in afghanistan the taliban. that regime is now in retreat across much of the country and the people of afghanistan especially women are rejoicing afghan women know through hard experience what the rest of the world is discovering the brutal oppression of women is a central goal of the terrorist. long before the current war began the taliban and its terrorist allies were making the lives of children and women in afghanista

mrs. bush. mrs. bush's human and attitude toward what is important in life are clearly shown in this speech she made at the college on june 1st, 1990. she had not been the first choice and her selection caused controversy on the campus. let's see and hear of some of her speech. o diana -- >> now i know your first choice today was alice walker. [laughter] guess how i know -- >> known for the color purplen stead you got me. known for -- the color of my hair. [laughter] and as you set off i hope that many of you will consider making three very special choices. the first is to believe in something larger than yourself. to get involved in some of the big ideas of our time. i chose literacy because i honestly believe that if more people could read, write and xrengd we would be that much closer to solving so many of the problems that plague our nation. and our society -- and early on, i made another choice which i hope you'll make as well. whether you're talking about education,ki career, or service,

and that was our fault. - mr. bushthat show to the public things are going well. so on may 1, 2003, bush flies out to a ship near san diego and gives this speech where he talks about just how well the operation had gone. and the navy had hung a banner in the background that said, "mission accomplished." - the transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time, but it is worth every effort. our coalition will stay until our work is done, and then we will leave. and we will leave behind a free iraq. [cheering and applause] - since the start of the war, the president's job performance has jumped ten points from 67% to 77% as of this evening. - of course, the mission was far from accomplished, and in fact what was actually happening, uh, during this moment is the, uh, real insurgency was beginning to gather steam. - the jubilant mood among those very iraqis who suffered most under saddam's regime was not necessarily shared across the iraqi capital, where some violent resistance remained. - it was starting to appear t

she took me with her to betty ford's funeral, mrs. bush did. betty ford, two funerals, one in california and one in michigan, but mrs. bush wanted me to go with her and we talked about betty ford's funeral all the way home and it was the first really meeting we had about her funeral, but you know, she was very hands on with her funeral, the eulogieses and music and just like her husband, they thought it was just another event. >> and i just might add to that, mrs. reagan's three-ring binder was almost as thick as that for president reagan, very sophisticated set of events that we had to execute and as jean knows, joanne drake used to make it a practice about once a year for eight, nine years, to approach mrs. reagan just to update the plan, discuss it, see if there were any changes that she'd want to make, perhaps she might have changed her mind over the years, but i think first ladies give it a tremendous amount of attention. i'm going to turn to anita because she's in charge. before i do anita, because i think we've got six seconds left, i wa

free and carter and mr. bush jr. and bush sr. and mr. clinton are not comparable to 2023 biden and on the other hand how much power has increased in china economic components in the political search components, so what do you see that will be replaced by the series with the withdrawal of america from afghanistan , in a sense, taiwan, the possibility of a new military confrontation , its threat will be used as a political card, not the western bloc, because we are in the current situation. consider that the war in ukraine happened the westerners are deprived of cheap energy, at least the europeans, and because of this, china has obtained more energy at a greater discount, therefore , for the team to be limited to both economically and politically, the security project is the most important project that happened to russia. in ukraine, gold has fallen for china . in taiwan, i want the security program to be different from the plan of military conflict, because ukraine is the largest country in europe, and it is the largest country in europe

free and carter and mr. bush the son and bush the father and the icon are not comparable to 2023 biden and on the other hand, china's power has greatly increased. how many economic components are there in the search for politics? therefore, you can see that with the withdrawal of america from afghanistan, the series will be replaced. in a sense , taiwan is likely to face a new military confrontation. its threat is used as a political card, but this is not the issue. that is the western bloc because we are now in the current situation let's consider that the war in ukraine happened, the westerners have run out of cheap energy, at least the europeans, and because of this, by the way, china will get more energy at a greater discount. what is the most important project that what happened to russia in ukraine is golden for china in taiwan, i want to pay attention to ukraine's military security program , the largest country of russia, the largest european country on the border, therefore long-term military involvement

trump said he heard mr. bush very clearly. and what mr. bush said. women all over this country heard a very clearly what mr. trump said. lisa: i bring this up to ask you what does work in this environment in terms of landing a criticism or a punch on someone who is opposing you? gail: i remember that debate. that was the cleanest punch anybody ever landed on president trump. i was with bobby jindal at the time. he was not on the stage with president trump, but we were on the campaign trail. and everybody, not just our campaign, but all of the campaigns were trying to figure out, how do we land something? you do these silly attacks or silly insults, he is just going to punch right back. if you are going to punch at trump, you better land it. nobody did that better than carly fiorina. lisa: trump will not be there tomorrow night. that is an issue because candidates there will be asked about him. going back to that 2016 cycle, here is ted cruz in a debate that president trump boycotted then. here is how he tried to handle that. >> let me say, i am a man

he and mrs. bush were being buried.fter president reagan he decided he did not want to have a writer list horse that is too dramatic. after presidenthe ford he wanted all the same music. two favorite phone calls was brent and henry kissinger after president ford. they inform me no one who is 80 or older should be honorary pallbearers because they were exhausted, they were old and they were hungry. so i told president bush on their pallbearers of the captains of the uss george h.w. bush we kicked at all the old people. my other favorite was the 43rd president denies a zoo called me immediately after john mccain's funeral.er jean, everyone at that funeral talk too long except for me. [laughter] at dad's funeral moment talks more than 10 minutes, 10 minutes. got it? i said yes, sir. but president bush is it time to talk but the trains? >> will get to that biker to say that for later? >> will say that for later. he enjoyed talk about the funeral. one quick story this is a little bizarre. even the national media has to get r

typically she took me with her to betty ford's funeral mrs. bush did betty ford actually had two funerals one in california and one in michigan, but mrs. bush wanted me to go with her and we talked about betty ford's funeral all the way home and was the first really meeting we had about her funeral. but yeah, she she was very hands-on with planning her funeral the eulogies the music. and she was like her husband. she they thought it was just another event. yeah, i just might add to that. mrs. reagan's three-ring binder was almost as thick as that for president reagan a very sophisticated of set of events that we had to execute and as gene knows to win drake used to make it a practice. about once a year for eight nine years to approach mrs. reagan just to update the plan discuss it see if there were any changes that she'd want to make perhaps she might have changed her mind over the years and but i think first ladies give it a tremendous amount of attention. i'm gonna turn to in need of because she's in charge before i do before i do any because i t

they stood there since that goes, mr. bush as the rest of the research stuff. so. so it was your estimated body and the machine not 20 years ago. i don't know just for charlotte. i'm one of those, don't worry about those, my little drama easier to get the bag shares near the noise. another student guys go down and see the tool for and that's about done with a subject thought it was really to be done on a new ukrainian ministry. drugs even kill sympathy for children, whom i believe is the village, sweat open to the schedule and the 55th there's going to schedule a showing. the last thing is just me just i need to be alone here. as soon as i left the back of the injunction on the line, is that the wire pressure? no, they chased or is it wireless? does any vitamins actually feel like the deal is extra, but it's a long i don't know that actually a sophisticated me to go and share it from your most as you any idea of us at this level finance. and you'll see the movie show because i really saw the but you typically there's also to estimate some grains kratom. yeah. i the

like mrs. bush was not in charge with coordinating manhattan project, fuses. this worked in his favor to get the job. as for the second one of the question, i mentioned batch bonds and glowing process? it was this idea that instead of dropping incendiary bombs on tokyo and they may not hit a target. what if we had bats, invent this incendiary, attaches to the back and put it in hibernation, fly them to japan release the ballots they will wake up and they will go into roost and warehouses, buildings, incentive wasting bombs they will go where we want them to they'll blow up some fires in cities and we would have to use as many resources. and never got put into use in japan, obviously. it works because during one test one of the bats got away and flew into a military barrick into a control tower and blew them. that's one example of one of these gadgets. silent pistols, cyanide pills, forged documents, disguises, how to artificially age, turning them into of long shore fisherman. this is what they would do. jeff: i think it was still lowell -- stanley lowell if y

mrs. laura bush's time his first lady which is in the green room next to the door going into the east roomas two two and a half million dollars and the alma thomas that you mentioned is more in line with the type of acquisition, which was about 300,000 and so we're very fortunate to have the resources that have been accumulated really through private support individual support. we have no government funding whatsoever. it's all private support and it comes from our retail products that comes from our private philanthropy and all of this builds together to make these resources available when they're needed and this is a wonderful example through this list here of just the types of things that have been acquired in place in the collection some of the most recent projects if you want to click through these lydia mentioned to the old family dining room about the state floor and you can see there the rauschenberg on the left and the alma thomas on the right significant about the alma thomas is the first african american female office to be in the african american female artist to be in the whit

trump said that he heard mr. bush clearly.ll over the country heard very clearly what he said. >> i ask you, what does work in this environment in terms of landing a criticism or a punch on someone who is opposing you? >> i remember that debate. that was the cleanest punch that everybody and he landed on -- ever landed on president trump. bobby lindell was not on the stage with president trump but we were on the campaign trail. everybody, all the campaigns were trying to figure out how to land something. when you do these silly attacks or insults, he's just going to punch right back. if you are going to punch a trump, you better landed. nobody did that better than carly figure ina. >> trump won't be there tomorrow night. that's an issue. candidates will be asked about him. here's ted cruz in a debate that president trump boycotted. here's how he tried to handle that. >> let me say, i'm a maniac. everyone on the stage is stupid, fat, ugly. then you are a terrible surgeon. now that we've gotten the donald trump portion out of th

after president nixon's is when he decided to be buried at his library, he and mrs. bush will be buried at kennebunkport maple after project read he said he did not want the writer this horse he thought it was too dramatic after president ford's wanted all the same music. hereby to favor phone callsal that was rick scowcroft and henry kissinger after president ford they informed me that no one who was 80 or older should be honorary pallbearers because they were exhausted and difficult and they were hungry. [laughter] as i told president bush, honorary pallbearers with the captains of the uss which h.w. bush we kick out all the old people and then my other favorite was the 43rd president of the credit who called mcneil after john mccains funeral, jean, i do at the funeral talked to long except for me. [laughter] dads funeral, no one talks more than ten minutes. ten minutes. got it? i'm like yes, sir. president b bush, and in this te to talk about the train? >> we will get to that. >> should we say that for later? we will save the transfer later he enjoyed talking about the

and as barack obama ran against george bushes, his his presidency and his legacy and so forth, mr. bush was, you know, sort of a generally gentlemanly agreement. you don't you don't as former president, you don't come back on stage and criticize and critique the current president, even if the current president is dragging you through the mud. mr. trump is not been held in check by that that previous protocol and barack obama has been careful not to give mr. trump, former president trump, the option or the the many opportunities to change the subject from impeachment or ukraine or russia or january six to barack obama. he's been very careful and strategic about that. but again, he has been involved in in the political the democratic party. i think he is probably outside of michelle obama, probably the most popular democrat in the country in terms of polling strategically. he he comes out and he'll give a stump speech on behalf of a politician that might be running. he's a cultural influence. so now, quote unquote, he is 120, 130 million twitter followers. he he released his book lists of

but to talk a little bit more about that, mr. bushs us all together. the pacific islander community association. thank you so much for joining us this morning. just in general, does this seem tough to put on right now in the middle of some of the headlines we've seen or to you, does this seem like it's very necessary to put on? it would be necessary to put on because this we can use as a as as a conduit for informative reasons for to development of possible resources that are here and how to connect because some of the people that are here have family members that have been impacted by their and they can give us the updated information much more and maybe in in in addition to what we already know during the news. so they can give us exactly what's on the ground over there. more importantly is to determine what organizations that can best help the efforts right now. and at one point, there is the pacific island cultural association has we're not in a planning at this point because we need to determine where the resources are at. how ca

mr bush you want to start. >> sure. yeah, it's a great question.w, it, it's, it i saw the economist cover too. it was very provocative, i guess. i don't quite know what they mean by peak. you know, i and others have argued that the the growth miracle in china is over, we're not going back to eight or nine or 10% growth. and so from that perspective, we have entered a new era but china is still going to be around. i don't think the chinese economy is collapsing. i think there's many scenarios where the chinese economy could grow slower but still healthily at a 3, 4, 5% level for the next decade or more. so china will continue to be an important global economy. it will continue to be a major source of global economic growth. i think the imf is projecting that even with the slowdown in growth, china is still going to be about of total global growth and the us will continue to have significant business interests in china. and i think now as i say in my written testimony is a really opportune moment where tables have turned a little bit. the us economy
