troops. >> this is george w. bush, the president of the united states. at this moment, the regime of saddam hussein is being removed from power. and a long era of fear and cruelty is ending. the government of iraq and the future of your country will soon belong to you. >> things, however, very quickly started to turn dicey. >> the city of baghdad has now experienced five days of looting. government ministries, hospitals, museums, the homes of the wealthy and even the palaces of saddam hussein have been stripped bare. >> we saw the looting and the total disorder in the streets and frankly, the indifference on the part of american authorities to what was happening. >> the pentagon says coalition forces will indeed get that unrest under control. but that has not yet happened. >> it wasn't just that there was disorder. the society is being torn apart and there's nobody in control. and that was our fault. >> mr. bush declared an end to the military phase of the war in iraq and called the battle a victory in the war against terrorism. >> the administration's v

karl rove, president george w. bush's political advisor, who has been keenly, sharply critical of president trump during the campaign and during his presidency, and whom president trump has said not to like very much. but, clearly, he overcame those objections and has nominated brett kavanaugh to be on the supreme court. >> woodruff: and, john, we seery a lowing statement from h,rmer president george w. b who has been relatively quiet, but tonight make it clear he thinks the choice of judge kavaugh is a good one. we should point out on a more personal note, we know that judge kavanaugh's wife, who heuc intr ashley, was a personal secretary to president george w. bush. let's learn a little bit more about the pick and the fight to come, if you will, in the congress, and for that le's turn to david rivkin, an attorney here in washington who served as associate white house counsel for president george he's also argued before judge kavanaugh on the court ofap als for the d.c. circuit. and elizabeth wydra, presidee of t

he met with george w. bush. this is the third time sitting face-to-face with a u.s. mr. what do you expect in general from this today. >> i like the president have low expectations what comes out of the helsinki summit. what we know about vladmir putin the man he has his eyes on the prize. looking to reassert russian dominance in eastern europe. we know he is looking to get relief from financial sanctions. and lock in russian gains from key theaters of conflict. thwart u.s. plans elsewhere specifically in iran. cheryl: i think crimea is off the table from a u.s. perspective. i know there is disagreement on syria. i can't see president trump backing down on those two issues. the sanctions, john that is the big thing, 200 companies all under u.s. sanctions. that is economic hit to vladmir putin. if anything he would like to come out of the summit with news on that. do you think the president would be willing to give anything on sanctions?

. - george w. had been a successful governor of texas. he talked about a new kind of optimistic conservatism. and it--it had a certain resonance. it was a powerful message. - there is a contest... - but george w. bush had been running for a while and had consolidated the fundraisers and political leaders and governors and sort of the republican establishment were all behd bush. - i felt we had a clear route. we thoughtt hat we could sor weave our way past lamar alexander and elizabeth dole, and that we would have a challenge from steve forbes, who had a personal wallet. but, of course, then along came john mccain. - senator mccain launched the "straight talk express" and started getting a lot of attention in new hampshire and started, you know, this freewheeling 24-hour-a-day press conference on his bus. - senator, how do you reconcile the fact that you were one of the most vocal critics on pork baolitics. and yet, while you were chairman of the commerce committee, that committee set a record for unauthorized appropriations? i'm just kidd

he was bush/gore recount bush lawyer. a george w. bush white house employee for more than four years. what would allow conservative critics to see him that way? >> i have no idea but i was stunned with how they came out with the long knives against him. and i think that donald trump was making exactly the calculus you just identified. if i have to figure out who to mollify, i have all these groups angry about someone. i am going to protect myself. i am going to pick the guy who wrote most expansively over years what the scope of presidential power is. in that sense, you see trump not looking at the landscape of that. who do i need to satisfy for the upcoming midterms. instead, how do i protect myself? >> let's just quote directly judge kavanaugh from a 1998 georgetown law article. quote, congress should establish, important to point that out, congress should establish that the president can be indicted only after he leaves office voluntarily or is impeached by the house and convicted and removed by the senate. that's kavanaugh on the

bush and h.w. bush but a much larger role in the george w. bush administration. >> that's right. the george w. bush administration, he's staff secretary. all pieces of paper go through him. he's married in the white house. he's in the middle of things. he was technically in the george h.w. bush administration, but he was really a one-year fellowship in the solicitor general's office. of course, the solicitor general who appointed him, ken starr. who later became independent counsel. >> as i'm reading this 2009 minnesota law review, basically what it's saying is the president's job is so unique and so unusual, it's seemingly saying he's above the law or should not be indicted or even brought up for trial or criminal investigation. >> i think he is saying that. he's saying mea culpa. i hounded clinton to death ten years ago, but now i understand. >> but the caveat is what? >> there's one caveat, which is he's saying congress should pass legislation to make this law. he's not saying that the constitution inherently -- that presidential power prevents the way the question would come

george w. bush and vice president dick cheney. university hosted this 90 minute program. >> my name is kevin millman and director -- on behalf of the center at new york university, thank you for coming to the event. tonight marks the first of many summer events in the young leaders' network series. the brademus center seeks to create programs that would enrich the time students spend at their summer internships and in washington, d.c. we hope events like this will help interns like you build a network of relationships with mentors and peers. maybe encourage you to return to the nation's capital to start a career in public service after you graduate. tonight we are joined by former presidential speechwriters during the george w. bush and bill clinton administrations. john p. mcconnell served more than 10 years on the white house staff in two administrations as a senior speechwriter for president george w. bush and vice president dick cheney john john was part of a three-person team responsible f

bush was speaking about nato paying up. >> i wrote many speeches for george w. bush. i wrote speeches for donald rumsfeld urging nato to pay up in the defense investments during their period in office went down in europe. so good for donald trump. >> martha: you are very persuasive. >> i know, i'm really good! >> martha: you are really good. maybe just not on that particular point. >> donald trump is doing the right thing. >> martha: okay. you should maybe write some speeches for him sometime. but he's getting his point across, that's to be sure. let's talk a little bit about what rod rosenstein is doing. "new york times" piece tonight saying he sent a special memo saying please do this for me, i need an all hands on deck as we dig into these documents. is that typical? >> it is typical. if the justice department always does this process. it's run by the office of legal policy. and in the case of judge kavanaugh, the democrats have been running around saying we have to delay this confirmation because the record is so voluminous. what rod rosenstein is doing is saying

up next, former presidents bill clinton and george w. bush sit down for an interview at the clinton presidential center in little rock, arkansas. they discuss immigration, education and u.s. foreign aid -- toeviate policy alleviate disease. [applause] good afternoon. that was good. just last year, i remember being right there. i was working at one of the most prominent financial institutions in the world having not long ago been permitted to a new world

he met with george w. bush.

i will say i felt as long as i was involved with george w. bush that made me a better writer was as of how careful he an editor, how logically was as a thinker. so i was never afraid of losing my own voice. every day i was there i felt like my tools as a writer were being sharpened because of the demands of it. john: -- june: i always want to give my best to them and find the most evocative image, the best words. clinton would say too many words. i wanted to be economical. i think that makes you better. verbs, fewer adjectives. economical, that made me a better writer, very careful about word choice. >> i was curious, what advice would you have for a policy person to be a better communicator of policy? june: that is pretty good. well, think first -- the first question i ask about a speech assignment aside from the obvious, who is the audience? huge influence on how you are going to be writing it, your audience. nasa engineers, or the graduating class of a college, or political donors? you go through the endless variety. in terms of policy i w

when you hear the democrats like chuck schumer of new york pushing for documents with george w. bush from his presidency, what do you say? >> i say that judge kavanaugh has been a brilliant legal scholar for decades and that people that had difficult situations like president bush wanted a brilliant person on their team. they picked him. he has a long history. they can't possibly say that he's unqualified for the court. what they will try to say is that there's something from his past that this disqualifies him in a small way. clearly, this is a brilliant man who is well respected for all sides of the political spectrum. >> harris: mitch mcconnell said he'll push vote by the senate. >> democrats should not be allowed to stall and take this down the road forever. no. >> harris: congressman buck, great to have you from the great state of colorado. thank you. president trump and his legal team are attacking the credibility of the president's former personal attorney michael cohen. are they right to do a? or should the president be worried about the new allegations coming from cohen

he was on the bush legal team in bush v. gore. he was the staff secretary for george w. bush and was there as well as in the white house counsel's office for some of those events. so in addition to all the questions about his rulings he's going to face, he is going to face so many questions about his moments working as a political operative. now, on the other hand, so did john roberts. now, he wasn't quite the same thing. he wasn't the whole shaker of salt as chuck schumer said. but he also was a political operative, and he made it through okay. >> so what does trump and co know about the process and what they can sell about kavanaugh that will offset this resist ansz we expect from schumer and the democrats. >> the fact that they have a majority in the senate. simple as that. >> they don't think he's somebody who would pull away some of the more vulnerable republicans, collins, murkowski. >> i don't think there is anything in the record that will make collins and murkowski say he is obviously flag rantly against roe v. wade if that is the one thing they're looking for.

and i think that george w. bush understands the cost of the decisions he made. and i think that shows humanity. i thibelieve the last two years his administration showed that this administration could get better and. there were course corrections. they did better things than iraq. once there, they had to do something like the surge. i think the way in which they started to change surveillance, it showed a better administration. so in that regard, they learned in office. >> thank you so much. i look forward to the episode tonight. it's the 2000s 9:00 p.m. eastern here on cnn. >>> coming up, the day the lights went out in the white house. >> i have a full faith in our intelligence agencies. whoops they just turned off the lights. that must be the intelligence agency. when i received the diagnoses, i knew at that exact moment ... i'm beating this. my main focus was to find a team of doctors. it's not just picking a surgeon, it's picking the care team and feeling secure in where you are. visit cancercenter.com/breast you always get the lowest price on our rooms, gua

>> look, i agree with former president george w. bush. i think all americans should be concerned about what i believe is a humanitarian crisis at our border manufactured by the sitting president donald trump. i am glad that former president george w. bush is speaking out. i think in these times many folks feel that because of decorum and protocol and how that's not how we usually do things to speak out against a sitting president or to challenge him so forcefully that it's not something we can do at this moment but to see that the former president felt convinced and convicted this is what he should do is reassuring and i hope more republicans speak out and do something about this crisis. >> he never criticized barack obama when he was in office. >> well, barack obama didn't put kids in cages and rip children -- after those kids were ripped from their mother's bosom put them cages in what is the equivalent of prison. so there you have it. >> i was just trying to show this must be something he feels extremely strongly about. >> i wish we co

w bush. did she over extend that invitation? possibly, but they can be honest about it, it's very much in great britain's interest and indicators of the us to make sure their relationship stays strong, regardless of who the president is. quickly, winston churchill very much the focus tonight. what would he make of donald trump? he himself was a disruptor. it's important to not overstate this, but let's not forget that church on —— churchill himself as someone that church on —— churchill himself as someone who antagonize individuals wasn't afraid to throw up individuals wasn't afraid to throw up barbed line in on many occasions. it isa up barbed line in on many occasions. it is a retort that many look back on with some regard for churchill, but he was not a beloved figure by many in his own party at the time. stay with us, james, thank you. waiting for joining me now from central london is dr swati dhingra, who is an economics lecturer at the london school of economics and political sc

circuit court judge and former george w. bush staffer who can expect to spend the rest of the summer trying to win at least 50 senate votes for confirmation. jessica schneider is in washington. jess, for people waking up who had no idea who judge kavanaugh is, tell us about him. >> this is going to be a rough battle on capitol hill and it's a tight timeline here. white house legislative director marc short says they expect kavanaugh's confirmation by october 1, less than three months away and you can see there judge kavanaugh has an extensive history inside the beltway. that combined with his extensive paper trail and history working for george w. bush could be the biggest holdup in this nomination fight. there are millions of pages of documents that crossed brett kavanaugh's desk when he was staff secretary at the white house for george w. bush at mow m -- momentous times like september 11 and hurricane katrina. brett kavanaugh's history extends for the past 12 years on the d.c. circuit court of appeals. that's the most pro

these are the same people who accused george w. bush of lying us into the war even though george w. bush relied on all 16, the unanimous opinion, have our intelligence agencies, that site that saddam hussein had stockpiles at the highest level of certainty.pi george bush relied at the intelligence committee, the very same people slamming donald trump accused george w. bush. where do you start with the george w. bush? could not have any columnists who are pro-trump. a lot of antagonism toward the president from "the washington post," and president trump is giving it back. it is about time. >> sean: they are so upset about the president not only seeing fake news but enemy of the people. i just think what the president is saying, my interpretation, dan bongino, he is saying, you are not serving the american people's truth. you tell a lot of lies. you have an agenda. therefore, if you don't do your job, that is where that comment to me comes from. i look at "the new york times." "the new york times" has competing articles the day after election day 2020. they are living in a fantasy wor

what did you learn about george w. bush from running a business? or what did he learn from? >> it's hard. i wish i would have been partners with him on the baseball team. i would have made more money. [laughter] but it's hard. i was the chief financial officer and he was the ceo and we were responsible for making sure we made payroll every two weeks. folks came to work and assumed they were going to get paid. he and i knew that this wasn't the case and we had to catch the -- cash flow the deal, make sure the money was in the bank on payday and everybody got paid. starting a business and being successful at it is hard. it's rewarding to be able to have done that. and just to be able to say i have got a good friend whose name is george w. bush is a real badge of honor as well. he's a great guy. >> did you know that he was a secret painter? >> no, i didn't. after the white house, another good friend of his said our friend is taking up thinking. and i said painting? ,is laura making him paint the house? he said, no fine art. ,you have got to be kidding me. >> plus question. in y

burke represents george w. bush, president bush, a strong supporter of brett kavanaugh. he also represents steve bannon, reince priebus, and donald mcgann in the russia probe. reviewed ands prescreened all of the documents, so we are having a , who works forer so many republicans on so many different issues, prescreened these documents. at this point we have no assurances of being told which documents we are going to be allowed to see and which documents the american people will be allowed to see. if weouldn't be so bad also got a full set of documents from the archives. it appears that the vast majority of documents that congress will be permitted to see are the documents turned over to us by a lawyer with close ties to both president bush and president trump as well as mr. bannon. because of intentional delays in obstruction, the vast majority of the documents that congress will get to review will have been screened by the personal lawyer of george bush, steve bannon, writes previous and more. what are they hiding? such an effort not to have the documents come forward
