ten days later sadat's plane -- over tel-aviv.now, you would have to understand this thinking of both sides at this historic moment. here is israel's greatest enemy coming to tack talk to them really uninvited he invited themselves but formally they have to invite him but israel symphony out there in the -- at the airport they didn't know how to play the egyptian national anthem but listen to radio kyrie to get a sense of how it goes and then a question of -- if sadat were really in the plane could it be full of terror are, be full of explosives we're going to have all of the meetings of israel here wait for them. you know, there's a sniper all over the rooftops just incase. and the plane is at the end of and search lights catch fuselage and people are -- and lands and sadat comes down and ems gold in my ear and shakes hands -- and people are of jubilant and not describe it. it was, you know, sense of unmorality that this could happen, and then it went and made his speech and it was stern. but he expected something in return. and

and he was asked to represent him at the funeral of anwar sadat, the bush s and obamas have grown closere at the opening of the african museum of history and culture. >> that surprised everybody. about society. people on opposite side of the political spectrum could like each other. >> so far it isn't clear if trump is interested in maintaining a friendly relationship with obama or commanders in chief. his goal its to set himself apart from any one and anything representing traditional washington. >> thank you very much. lot to talk about with david gergen. adviser to four presidents and seen firsthand how presidents treat their predecessors. is there a danger in a current president feuding with a former one? seems to me you would want to feel look you could call up your predecessor for advice. few people who have had the job? >> absolutely. we had a presidents club. fraternity of people who had been president, a handful but who have become friend and worked together. famously, ronald reagan when sworn in, iranian hostages were released that day. and, jimmy carter who had been defeated.

the shah's funeral with sadat. i found my successor.i handed him the sword and i didn't interfere again except on those rare occasions where i would be invited to something. staff andalked to his was always very pleased it was always moving forward, always accomplishing something, always doing the next right thing. those of 84 campaign you who might recall the first hadte that president reagan with walter mondale was sort of a disaster. he didn't do very well. she looked old and disoriented. stu spencer who was the chief strategist of the campaign told me to call president next and up and said, get a message from him to president reagan. so i called president nixon and me a personalsent note that i transmitted to president reagan. it was that personal message from president nexen to president reagan that gave him uplift and strength and spirit and self-confidence. had greatreagan respect for president next in. when we opened the library in 1990 the day before i took president next and in to see president reagan, it was the most congenia

later when president sadat of egypt was shot, jimmy carter and president ford went together for a funeral became friends on that flight and worked together on a number of bipartisan issues thereafter. when the tsunami hit the pacific, you remember how president bush senior and bill clinton went and a raised money and clinton became so close to the bush family, they almost treated him like another son. these relationships have made a difference, and it's distressing and sad that in the current situation we have such enmity building up so quickly between president trump and president obama. >> with the latest accusation by the president, is this something that you think that the relationship with the former president can bounce back from? >> i think, anderson, it's going to create a permanent rift between the two. president obama, i don't think he's going to be taking it this public stage and fighting it out with president trump. but i can tell you this. i think a lot of the people around him, president obama, the alumni, so to speak, will have no reluctance to take it on. and by the way, p

as i was present as prime minister begin and president sadat signed their agreement. now, i do not see how anyone could conclude that mr. friedman possesses a requisite temperament nor that he appreciates the critical distinction between the interests of our country and the united states and the parochial interests of an extreme constituency in israel that he has fiercely advocated for over the course of his long career. indeed, he is telling the spokes man of the israeli settlement that mr. friedman has supported financially for years, said its inhabitants would regard him as their representative in the united states. these are the israelis. they are represented in the united states as the israeli ambassador. so it's not the role of the u.s. ambassador to represent another country. that's how mr. friedman is perceived in israel because that's the way he has behaved. every u.s. president has understood the importance and the heightened sensitivity of the post. they chose their nominees accordingly, both republicans and democrats as presidents until now. that's why eve
