george w. bush and putin coming together. george w. bush certainly sought a reset with russia. he was very chummy with putin. we all remember the fishing trip. that was later in the process. their very first joint news conference, george w. bush's at the podium. putin was standing next time. he said, russia is not the enemy of the united states. the cold war is over. putin didn't get what he wanted from bush. some historians have argued, this is a big reason why he became, he becomes, more authoritarian and autocratic. >> i wouldn't put the u.s. at the center of the story in that way. i think putin became autocratic for internal reasons. it speaks to his personality. his sense of power. the vision that he has for russia eventually he latches on to a very, sort of conserved in the sense, of reactionary autocratic vision. of russia's past. of russia's future. i don't think that's a function of anything george w. bush did, anything the u.s. did. although, the u.s. is always the foil to putin's russia. i think more to the point, when it comes to where those two figures diverge, the

host: george w. bush or george h.w. bush? guest: george w. bush, when they first started including him in the -- george h.w. bush, when they first started including him in the national polls, people thought at that time maybe -- there were polls that showed half of voters thought he was his father, but it did turn out to be a good predictor of the fact that he was a heavy front runner in 2000. host: bruce in alabama, republican, you are up with jim antal. go ahead. caller: i want to talk about january 6. i am here. host: go ahead. caller: i think -- i think trump said he called in the national guard and told pelosi about it but she turns around and claimed she didn't have the authority and left it at that. i don't believe trump will be able to take it in 2024. it will be ron desantis running. host: would you vote for that ticket, bruce? caller: i love both of them, nikki haley, i mean, i think she needs to run for president. or ron desantis to run for president and her as vice president. guest: there's certainly a lot of republicans who are t

george w bush and putin come on together and george w bush certainly sought a reset with russia. he was very chummy with putin. we all remember the fishing trip, and that was later in the process. they're very first joint news conference george w bush was at the podium putin was standing next to him. he said russia is not the enemy of the united states. the cold war is over, right, but putin didn't get what he wanted from bush and some historians have argued. this is a big reason why he became he becomes more and more authoritarian and autocratic. i wouldn't put the us at the center of the story and that way. i think that putin became autocratic for internal. okay reasons, it speaks to his personality his sense of power. the vision that he has for for russia eventually he latches on to a very, you know, sort of conservative in the sense of reactionary autocratic vision ultra rationalist. yes of russia's past and of russia's future, and i don't think that that's a function of anything george w bush did or anything at the us did although the us has always the the foil to to putin's

. >> tucker: this the guy the george w. bush accused as the george washington of our age. i really haven't heard anyone in washington say a single thing about this. >> from the beginning as you know as well as anyone tucker it was a very concerted effort to eliminate all ability sets any questions and when was a question of which do diplomatically whether we should risk our own money and potential nuclear exchange with russia with ukrainian borders disputes got called a common agent or russian asset and this the strategy that were using to prevent us in united states from exercising freedom to say what our government should stay in that war. in the name of democracy they shut it down. thanks much for that. >> thanks tucker. >> tucker: tulsi gabbard is also on this blacklist she is also some some of the ukrainian government so she should be censored she served the united states government after joining us. thank you so much for coming on what is your reaction to finding yourself on this blacklist? >> i see the hypocrisy of this blacklist is and frankly by the american peopl

that is also something that top aides to president george w. bush told me. you remember when lucy was first elected speaker the first woman in the history of our country and george w. bush went up to deliver the state of the union address in he acknowledged her and mentioning her father and according to his top aide bush felt bad that pelosi never reciprocated. he was making an offer let's act in a cooler manner than where the politics are heading today and that was not something she was willing to do. >> it's interesting to read that passage and i thought about it and wondered if she thinks if i relinquished any notion -- >> she would say boehner didn't deliver. what's the point of bipartisanship if you can't deliver to the people? she thinks the most damaging legislation she should push through is not the affordablee care act it was the bank bailout in 2008 when we had the financial meltdown and nobody like bailingob out tanks. in american politics bailing out banks is not the most popular thing to do. congress said if we don't do this we will head into a

he gave them all a free pass george w bush. they're all going to be rehabilitated. they're all going to be treated as great statesman. one day, i mean, they gave president obama a nobel prize for not being george w bush. the question, of course, the world tap, dancing around or avoiding as does it work as torture work doesn't, or people that have information that are part of an underground apparatus, a terrorist organization, revolutionary organization accomplished organization, whatever organized form of collective alan chip i, b, they won't break now and the people that you pick up that are innocence. yes. you tell them to pieces, you'll destroy them, you'll ruin them. i think that a few of the people that passed passed through my hands as an interrogator did have intelligence. but most the vast majority of the people that i dealt with work just being picked up because they were males of military age and they were just get swept up. and his raves, i don't think torture is always being used as a method to gain information or, or confessions. it's often just being u

. >>> a former federal judge appointed by george w. bush is now standing up to trump, debunking his election lies point by point. he is my guest. let's go out front. >>> good evening. breaking news. a source telling cnn that a washington police officer has corroborated details regarding the heated exchange the former president had with secret service detail when he was told he could not go to the u.s. capitol in march with the rioters after the rally. according to a source, the officer who was there, in the motorcade, not second hand, he was there, has recounted what he saw to the january 6 committee. you may remember we first heard this was a heated exchange. trump wanted to go, and his detail said that he couldn't. we heard about that from cassidy huthinson. she testified, under oath, about what she said she was told about the incident. >> the president says something to the effect of, i am the president, take me up to the capitol now. to which bobby responded, we have to go back to the west wing. the president reached up towards the

she george w bush. whom she told me was the worst present may a president who made the worst mistake in american history, which is saying a lot which is the iraq war. she did not have a high view of george w bush in his presidency and even though it cost her members to push to the legislation. she did it because she the because the alternative just looked to him uh, tell us she took on a particularly like iconic status during the trump years and walking out the you know, the orange coat with the big collar of shredding out of the of the white house to the cameras there. do you think that she had trump's number because she'd encountered him and she'd seem in him in baltimore. she'd seen him and san francisco politics. she'd encountered people like him before. well, donald trump's very distinctive figure are there. i mean, there are people i'm not sure i'd know a lot of people who are like don't even jersey and he's like everybody you go before land. he's like everybody knows that if you grew up in jersey

he joined the white house medical unit many years ago under president george w. bush. he stayed in that job and went on to serve as physician for two subsequent presidents. ronnie jackson knows a lot about what it takes to run the country. during the 2020 presidential campaign jackson was up sell at home watching joe biden deliver a speech. what he saw joe biden say about that him deeply as a physician. he just announced he was candidate for u.s. senate. watch. >> i'm here to ask you for help. where i'm come from you don't get far unless you ask. my name is joe biden, i'm a democratic candidate from the united states senate. >> tucker: ronnie jackson's all that and then went on twitter and made the obvious point, joe biden before this goes any further should undergo a cognitive examination, the country deserves that. within 20 minutes, jackson recalls in his new memoir, barack obama sent him an email. i have to express my disappointment that the cheap shot you took a joe biden via twitter, obama said. it was unprofessional. i expect better. that wasn't just obama speak

these countries were targeted by the george h w bush, or george w bush, the senior vice president of ronald reagan and bribed with hundreds of millions of dollars. and these monies were given the countries in exchange for their acquiescence and their submission to american military and economic and political objectives. no ring of nato military bases is being formed around russia. the u. s. and nato have over $600.00 military base is world wide. russia has just 18, but the west still claims that russia has aggressive intent by turning those russians. the soviets into this dangerous boy, man that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy to create this image of the soviets. as out for world conquest, which was not the case, then for now with nato should have died, but they will give it meaning. it is about infected created by, by nature nature, business machine. because you must remember, if nature, what is bad. shareholders in united states and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions and millions they'd only have one year instead of 2 yards each . there

you will one of george w bush's speech writers at the time. in fact, you correct what i missed the axis of evil phrase that he used in his 2002 state of the union speech. the speech touched on iraq, north korea, and iran. and said, states like these and that terrorist allies constitute an access of evil arming to threaten the peace of the world. in any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic. looking back, are you not trouble that that speech that you worked on might have been used to, but just a war that was built on lies and intelligence that didn't exact false intelligence that people knew was roles. since that speech, north korea has become a nuclear power and around is to come on the verge of where power is in the world as a much more dangerous place because of north korean nuclear weapons and for and gets nuclear weapons, the world will be more dangerous place to get so president bush, some of the american people and some of the world's attention to the danger of these regimes, in the case of around one was leadin

w bush's administration. now writer and columnist for the atlantic magazine. he says the stakes were and still are frighteningly high. it's certainly really to worry about. i can't, i wish i could give me more content like this. i mean, we do have the future of american democracy on the ballot. that's the number one valid issue last month for us to bring course divisions over 2 of the most contentious issues abortion and gun control. so is america's political fabric, a breaking point? that all the warning light flashing red? why is donald trump full of praise for putin and do the russian have a point when they refer to the iraq war and the cues, the west of hypocrisy, key questions this week on complex. i, david from welcome to complex own. thank you. were told that on january 6 last year, a desperate donald trump arms flailing, saw to lead an armed mob to capitol hill in an effort to overturn an election that he just lost. what would have happened if he succeeded? what you focus on the last action of the dra

starting with george w. bush there was a national debt that was slightly under $6 trillion. so, so you of that bush, obama, trump, biden, and over the course of the last 20 years it is actually staggering the growth of our national debt. it is gone from less than 6 trillion the $30 trillion, a five-time increase. so both republicans and democrats they just spent too much. >> host: from sherry in virginia, independent line. >> caller: thank you for s c-span. thank you for taking my call. it is interesting how the billions of dollars that are being allocated to these programs don't end up in the hands of the people who they are intended for. rather thanho talking about smaller government, perhaps we should be talking about more efficient government because there are many, many reasons why there are people who need to be provided with funding so they can get the services they are guaranteed supposedly that need to have happen. the only way to make that happen is with the federal government stepping up and doing the work that we need to do in terms of that, in terms of the work

>> one wedding -- but george h. w. bush's daughter in the chapel, the evergreen chapel. what's a wedding. >> small from facebook asks what was the biggest surprise you ever had while working at camp david? >> the day the sprinklers went off when president clinton was checking golf balls behind aspen. the sprinklers go off, i didn't witness it, but secret service were watching nearby. he moved -- the sprinklers went off again. he threw his clubs into the golf cart and went out to the driving range, back wasn't secured, all the clubs fell over the asphalt. it's humorous but you can understand the frustration of someone dealing with that. i tried to make light of it that night when he left camp david without finding the water hole. it was a poor attempt at humor. you learn that balance of wind to be serious, not too serious, and went to not be too humorous. that was the funniest time. fortunately, i had no serious incidents during my time. tough things are going on in the world. i left a month before 9/11 occurred. there's a whole, we spent a lot of time describing with tha

george w. bush is a special case because of 9/11. you see the pattern over and over. one of the things it shows is the public is fickle in many ways. there is always an evan flow. what we see is republicans will win one house or two houses in the midterm elections. they will then make a lot of people unhappy with what they are doing with the majority, and then biden could cruise to reelection just like those previous presidents did. host: one of the issues is the issue of abortion, project lead after the roe v. wade decision. a lot of people looking for the president to do things that could counteract that, more than what he could do. what is the administration to think of this issue and where should it go as far as counteracting what the supreme court did? guest: if you talk to the administration their argument is we are doing everything we can. he can issue some executive orders that govern the policies of the executive branch, but he cannot single-handedly pass a national codification of roe v. wade. they're not 50 votes in the senate to do that. there's only so mu

a huge number of books that came out about the bush administration and surprised me, i think w's -- george w. bush's memoir was pretty good and i think he was fairly circumspect about things especially years later. other books, for example, dick cheney's memoir which i called, i ain't sorry for nothing, because he really was unapostle unapologetic but the bush administration. there were other books but all the great recession and i think one of this most fascinating one was by michael lewis and that was called the big short and it is quite good. there's so much great -- including the 9/11 commission report which was well-written. >> peeking of michael lewis, carlos, later the -- one of your top 12 books. >> yes. i'm a big fan of his work ever since fliers poker, and the fifth risk, came with a lot less hoopla than most michael lewis books, which you know that they're coming and everything. this one just arrived for me and i didn't know it was coming, and it's just a -- to me one of the most useful books of the last five years, and that -- especially it was written before the pandemic but b

john roberts has served on the court since 2005 the george w bush nominee had this to say when asked about the 1973 roby wade decision. well senator the importance of settled expectations in the application of starry decisis is a very important consideration that was emphasized in the casey opinion, but also in other opinions outside that area of the law the principles of starry decisis. look at a number of factors settled expectations one of them and as you mentioned whether or not particular precedents have proven to be unworkable is another consideration on the other side whether the doctrinal basis of a decision have been eroded by subsequent developments, for example, if you have a case in which they're three precedents that lead and support that result and in the intervening period two of them have been overruled that may be a basis for reconsidering the the prior president. there's no there's no doc. doctrinal basis erosion and grow is there. well, right. i feel the need to stay away from a discussion of particular cases. i'm happy to discuss the principles of starry decisis a

. >> that was laura bush, first lady of texas, and wife of presidential candidate george w. bush in a spring 2000 c-span interview. the bushes moved into the white house the following january. you will hear laura bush, in her own voice, here in american history tv, how she experienced her eight years as first lady featuring footage from c-span video library. first, just eight months into their term, the former librarian and teacher was transformed into a wartime first lady by the terrorist attacks of september 11th, 2001. she called with reporters on september 12th after visiting pentagon victims in the >> the people behind me are hospital. this is laura bush in her own words. some of the members of that emergency response team. so, besides having the chance to visit with three of the victims who were here at walter reed, whose lives will be changed forever, like all of ours, and by the, way who are all in very great shape, and look like they will recover fully. besides the chance to thank them for their service to our country, we give them their wishes for a very speedy rec

w bush. now you sound as if you are supportive of donald trump, is that right? is that a correct assumption? i'm supportive of accurate journalism, and that's why i wrote my book. i haven't made my mind up yet about donald trump and 2024. i'm gonna wait and see i might not be for him. maybe i will be it depends on who a republican primary opponents are i'll tell you this. i hope he does not declare his candidacy prior to the november election. i would much rather this election be a referendum on joe biden than a choice between donald trump and joe biden if he declares before the election, i think that would be a dream come true for the democrats. so i i don't that to happen. i do want the republican party to keep moving. i do want the republican party to be a civil party, but i do admire president trump's ability to get things done for this country to break the mold to create the abraham accords to destroy isis to have the lowest poverty rate in america since 1958. pre-pandemic. there are a l

attorney appointed by the previous residence of george w. bush fired previous attorneys, etc. president biden did not fired david weiss because how that look -- would look would have been terrible. one thing i find interesting is merrick garland has appeared before congress twice this year and both times, republicans have pressed him on the independence of the hunter biden investigation and merit garland's response has been that you can trust it because being headed up by a trump appointee. it's problematic. in the end, merrick garland has the final say on what happened . it seems like a defense of -- my politics are not interfering because somebody else's politics are interfering with it and it seems like he is trying to say it will not be run by a biden official because a trump official is running it and i know how that's takes the politics off of that and that's with the american people want to see. the american people are frustrated that they are seeing people of either party get away with certain crimes who are connected and they want to make sure these investigations whe

w. bush, willfully make sure that the assault weapons ban legislated by senator joe biden, expired after ten years, and after ten years, when shootings like this word used by that assault weapons ban, the republican president, george w. bush, and republicans in congress decided it's time to make sure that american mass murderers remain the best equipped mass murderers in the world. they did that. government, republican government allowed that mass murder in uvalde two planets parts of weapons of war to use for mass murder in his former fourth grade classroom. a mass murderer with an ar-15 walk into a shopping mall in indiana yesterday, killing three people before he was killed by an unarmed 22 year old man, who happened to be in the mall at the time, and was lawfully carrying his own gun. that is the fairly rare good guy with a gun story that the national rifle association and republican politicians want us to believe is the actual solution to mass murder. many of those people, many of t

so it was a violation of a promise, and under george h. w bush was conceivable. had he won reelection that russia would have become part of a wider european security arrangement that was not to be that was a tragedy for all concerned. yes, and let us part, it's where we are today and fast forwarding to today. russian officials have now said the moscow's aim and ukraine has changed. amid the growing presence of american supplied rockets on the ground. what are your thoughts on that's this is a major event. we have the, just the foreign minister of russia making an announcement saying, look, we had limited our objectives to the bus to, i don't yet skin ganske. we've changed that. that substantially changed his words. now we're going to expand and with reason we have to expand has to do with geography. can you get that geography? why he graphy? because there wish this a play, the kinds of missiles with ranges of about 50 miles right now, that can endanger our troops in danger, our gains in the dunbar and elsewhere. so we're going to have to move our front line up so
