history but i asked george w. bush once why he kept norman minute. it's not like george w. sh could not have found -- it's not like he could not have found a republican to be the secretary of transportation. norm was a relatively liberal democrat. that is how he described himself, as a liberal democrat from the bay area of california, the child of immigrants. often, people from that demographic have a very different view of how government should work and what the role of government is. and that was a little different than how george w. bush viewed the role of government so i asked him why did you keep norman panetta in your cabinet when you could have gotten somebody from your own party to do it? his answer really struck me. he said there was no better servant for america then norman panetta. i thought like what a legacy to leave. not that he was the best member of the democratic party or norm agreed to do whatever i told him . norm was the most loyal to my views his view was that there was no better servant for america and what an incredible thing to be known for. host: one

guest: i was the gatekeeper for president 43, george w. bush, which meant i was in charge of his time, scheduled apartment, vetting research. i had to create a schedule with the president for the first 100 days. the first 21 days were extremely important, because that was the time of taking power, establishing yourself as president, with your cabinet, with your staff, then getting ready to roll after the hundred days through your first term. today, for instance, is a day of true transition, because the new white house staff, and the president, do not take power until 12:01 today, eastern time. you are not even allowed in the white house until the president is sworn in. once you get to the white house, the white house is in physical transition, because the old papers and furniture of the president, former president, are being moved out, and the new president's furniture and belongings are being moved in, and the staff is getting settled, with -- whether in the old executive office building or the west wing of the white house , and the east wing,
