i didn't know george w. bush. i met him once during his campaign for president to be governor of texas and for two weeks after he won the election, i didn't expect them to win. he was running against anna richards, a positive incumbent, a democrat in texas but he won . and about two weeks later be called one of my partners to say would you check to see if al gonzalez would be interested in coming to work for me and i was surprised. two weeks later i go to austin to sit down with bush for the first time and we have a discussion about what he expected of me and what the job entailed. at the end of the conversation i asked and said governor, i've got to ask you why me? there's 70,000 lawyers in texas and you could have asked and any number of people to do this, why me? he tells me the story, he says in 1988 this is a true story, we were asked to go to washington in my dad's administration and i did go to washington in 88 because they were looking for diversity in the first bush administration. i interviewed the veter

george w. bush lost new hampshire resoundingly to john mccain. barack obama wins iowa, but loses new hampshire to secretary clinton. so there's always a drama here and the test is what can a candidate on the fly learn from defeat? he's actually a pretty good test run for the pressures of the office. and so the one thing about vice president biden is he's had so much trauma and tragedy in his life he knows -- he knows how to be resilient. that's now tragically second nature to him because the nature of his life. but i think it -- to me the biden efficacy of the candidacy right now, what tells me the most is that most of us and most of us who live -- spend too much time on our phones and too much time thinking about this stuff actually, are only talking to a

bipartisanship you were seeing was when you would turn on the statesmen be it john mccain, george w. bush or john dingell recently. we wanted to change that. we wanted to make sure that there were members in congress who were not just here to make a point. we are here to make a difference. those are the types of people, those qualities come from veterans, because they understand what it means to get the job done.

talked about george w. bush, 33rd. we had him after he left office and he was one point lower than we added another president and moved up one. he's close to the bottom ten not only the reaction to 9/11 as an important part of the economic crisis and response to hurricane katrina. finally barack obama and the survey came back in 12th place not a good place to start. here are the top five in 2017 dwight eisenhower as we talked about before. theodore roosevelt in the survey that is common not only for hours but others as well. you won't be surprised to learn the next one in line as franklin roosevelt whenever one, two or three. those features ... doris kearns goodwin. it is a terrific one. whethe one on theodore roosevels doug brinkley's book willingness warriors and it's about his role as a conservation president. for george washington, we chose rob chernow's biography. he won the pulitzer prize for it. george washington came in second place in 868 points out of a possible 1,000 is score is 13th, and the pursuit of equa

george w. bushim, barack obama would not see him, and now it looks like he is being reinstated. whether or not this plays well in europe, it is ha rd to this plays well in europe, it is hard to say. he will be strengthened but it could also be the centre turn out to see, here is donald trump trying to undermine the european union and then they go to the polls to try and counter this move. we have republicans and democrats on the committee and a rare moment of unity, coming together and writing a letter to donald trump saying to be careful of this, there has been an erosion of democracy and hungary. careful of this, there has been an erosion of democracy and hungarym some ways it is not new in the sense that we donald trump favoured pain in the election, seeing an alliance of populists, steve bannon, his former adviser has been travelling around europe trying to organise the alliance of populists will stop i do not think it's going to put donald trump in hot water that he is not already and, but it d

w. bush and the bill clinton administration. we're also fortunate twe are ale one of the leading journalists to moderate the conversation, susan glasser. [applause] susan's background in domestic and foreign policy gives a unique perspective in addition to writing the column in the new yorker, she's been an editor at one of the most influential publications and served as the editor in chief before the policy magazine and editor at the "washington post" and rollcall. i appreciate he did his very best to exact as much news as possible. [applause] it is the professional peace processors so i'm going to turn it around for the first question and say two questions for everybody in and opening round i'm not sure there was a big headline out of this did you hear something in the conversation this evening that made you feel a settlement was actually more likely than you thought coming into the dinner this evening? i guess it's only fair to start with those that have been on the ground most recently so i will go ahead and give you the fir

the other presidents on the list, some have reasons, 9/11 for george w. bush. i believe george h.w. . other than jimmy carter who was in very bad position, this president doesn't compare favorably to those. why is he not higher than he is given the strong economy? >> first of all a lot of polls are skewed. they're done among adults being registered voters not likely voters. they screw democrats. connell: normally i would say you're crazy last time you were right about that. >> while they might have been fair to previous presidents, this president gets a lot of negative press. connell: do you buy into the argument he could be, should be higher than where he is, given the economy? >> what is interesting, is on monday, you had steve rattner, a part of the obama administration, wrote analysis of several predictive models, whether yale professor, don luskin, you had, moody's. connell: yeah. >> each one of those models said this president is going to get reelected with well over 50% of the vote. connell: basically what models say, correct me if i'm wrong, a president would get reelected in

making is is an important one george w. bush basically subcontracted his mideast foreign policy out to dick cheney i mean cheney would stop by the oval office and he was about to give a speech basically sort of laying out why the u.s. was going to go to war against iraq and bush would look up according to the reports and say oh you're going to be really tough right and cheney would say yeah i'm going to be really tough another words george w. bush had a hands off approach just basically subcontract in his foreign policy out to these neo cons donald trump has done the same thing perhaps he i mean there's a lot of issues that are underway right now trump seems to be focused on the the struggle against china again he's getting a lot of support from the democratic party adam schiff today came out saying that it was very welcome what donald trump was doing about weiwei so he could he get over the democrats by being hard line on a number of these issues say to bolton pompei oh yeah go for it just don't start a war but again that's a v

w. bush's two wars into eight and trump has kept those wars ticking along while threatening new ones in new regions of the world as of course in those days in a limited military action in libya in support of an international effort to protect libyan civilians i have decided that the united states should take military action against syrian regime targets we have troops over the world this place is a very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and dying we have many options for of it as well as including a possible military option if necessary sending lethal weapons to ukraine escalating threats against iran and venezuela trump was elected sounding like a dove but he's governing like a hawk he dropped the mother of all bombs on afghanistan and sent cruise missiles to syria but it's a long tradition in one thousand nine hundred sixty four lyndon johnson ran for president on a platform of not escalating the vietnam war and after he won guess what he did in one nine hundred sixteen woodrow wilson's campaign slogan for reelection was actually he kept us out

george w. bush 33rd.lthough first time we have him after he left office he was one point lower and president up one soso he's pretty close to the bottom ten, and not only reaction to 9/11 is important part but economic crisis wars that ensued after 9-1-1 and response to hurricane katrina are all things that -- over time will see how historians rate his presidency and finally, barack obama, his debut in the survey came in 12th place not a bad place to start. just top five in 2017 and dwight eisenhower into top five for the first time. theodore roosevelt in fourth place in the survey can be and that's fairly common throughout not only ours but also other surveys that are done you won't be surprised to know that next one in line is franklin roosevelt in number one, two, or three -- the fdr biography that we chose to highlight in our book is goodwinn no ordinary time anyboy read that in the audience? that is a terrific one. the one on theodore roosevelt is the book called wilderness warrior all about a role a

got wind of the project somewhere around two thousand and four two thousand and five when george w. bush the president of the united states at that time established a commission. simply to study the possibility of the potential of a museum being located somewhere in d.c. a museum dedicated to african-american history and culture. it's one of those incredible projects really it's sort of a lot of weight but also a lot of pride for me i'm really. just thrilled to be an architect of this time to be able to gauge in that this is a very useful picture that i always use which really gets you to understand where you are in the you know this is the last to build build plot which is this red highlights this is the white house here and this is obviously washington's one that lincoln is here but this is the motion to moral grounds and this is the mall coming here saloon really at this hinge moments the knuckle of the whole thing. this project was beyond just one one firm and one person and then it would take it you know an allegiance and collaborative effort and you know as an african-american i fe

would be similar sixteenth two thousand and three president george w. bush authorized the legislation for the establishment of a new smithsonian museum a national museum of african-american history and culture. thank you. time. but this place is more than a building. on september twenty fourth two thousand and sixteen all those who contribution to the realisation of the project celebrate the fulfillment of a doing this and. these are minor moments no less than the others offer small world on this day one thousand nine year old ruth bona and her great granddaughter will ring the bell of the oldest black baptist church in the usa and officially opened the museum. her room one of his father was born a slave in mississippi only a few generations separate the president from history. and a few weeks after the opening america elected a new president. on life. as a historian i really believe that history is a sin mazing tool that give you guidance and tools to live your life and so i think that by helping people first of all understand how the construction of blackn

it was the george w. bushc. >> exactly. >> classic blowback from american foreign policy. and another point when you talk about iranian power, you have tom cotton, the republican senator saying we would take them out in one strike. and on one side, you have to stand up to iran, they're dominating capitals, they're run by crazy mullahs. and on the other hand, we're going to drop a few bombs on them and they'll be quiet. you can't have it both ways. this is absurd! >> and last word on this malcolm, because there is a small matter of the american troops that would be impacted by trying to do this. >> yeah, well, you know, all of the people who were in the volunteer force now. but let's take a look at the possibility of what they think they might do, which is to bring two or three carriers up there and throw some strikes and hurt iran along the coast as colonel wilkerson said. i've been in the gulf where we had four aircraft carriers. every air base in saudi arabia, total air dominance. and it still took us 40 to

congress has demonstrated continued bipartisan, almost non-partisan support since george w. bush lead the efforts to fight global aids. what we have seen is repeated foreperson cuts, broadly to foreign hiv and aid. congress in most cases has reinstated those cuts. we're hoping they'll do so this year. >> and has the state department has the secretary of state tried to fight for this budget at all? >> we haven't heard a lot. i think there is a dedicated team and hhs that are working this disease full time and consistently but as you know a white house puts together a budget from across agencies, puts that forward and everybody supports it. again, we've seen proposed cuts on foreign aid and specifically for hiv and aids. so we are working closely with congress to make sure that doesn't happen. >> it's gone with support. it's likely to pass the house what about in the senate? >> we have seen them and we anticipate and hope that they will restore full funding. with all the progress we've made, we've cut in half the amount of people out of the woods yet. unless we have the momentum an

george w. bush is a devout methodist, as you know.hen we look for a president of the united states should we look for a spiritual leader rather than a secular leader? marianne: your point is very well taken. by the way, i wasn't trying to resist anything you are asking me before. but i think the issue here does not have to do with whether george bush was a good man, which clearly he is, or if anybody else is good. i think that as american people we are good. that's not the issue. the issue is that we have circumscribed our inquiry about what it means to live a good life only within the personal sphere. we need to ask ourselves about our foreign policy, our economic policies, how tax policies. we need to find the same questions about what good is. that's how i feel about the president. america can't be rate in america is not good. hillary clinton is a devout methodist as well. the issue, and why i think the country does need someone with this perspective now, we need to apply those questions in those principles to our public policy and

next up, george w. bush, 20th spot. it will be interesting when we do the next survey at the tend of the trump presidency whether or not george h.w. bush moves up at all. he's passed away. we had three days of celebration in this country of his presidency and reminders of the things that he accomplished. that has an impact because historians are people too, and it'll be interesting to see if it affects his ratings. billys clinton, we just talked about, in 15th place. george w. bush, 33rd. the first time we had that him, which was right after he left office, he was one point lower. we added another president, so he moved up one -- [laughter] but he's pretty close to the bottom ten, and, i mean, not only certainly the reaction to 9/11 is an important part, but the economic crisis, the wars that ensued after 9/11 and his response to hurricane katrina are all things that over time we'll1 see how historians rate his president city. and h finally, barack obama, his debut in the survey, and he came in in 12th place. not a bad p

w. bush's judicial appointments were members of the federalist society. ohn roberts and samuel alito, who both have strong ties to the group, to the supreme court, and both of president trump's supreme court picks, neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh were members of the society. they published how the executive director, this man, leonard leo, has used a network of nonprofit groups funded by donors to promote conservative judges and causes. a new frontline documentary that airs tonight on pbs looks at how the federalist society and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell have worked to build a more conservative supreme court and how they have politicized the confirmation process. michael kirk produced and directed frontline report. he joins me now. michael, thank you for being with us and thank you for making this important documentary. the intense political polarization we saw with the brett kavanaugh supreme court nomination last year, it's sort of a product of more than 30 years of work when president reagan three decades ago nominated robert bjork to the s
