very few as with george w. bush were scripted. the good thing was, when he was not reading a script, he sounded really human. him and the conversation or whatever it might be. during a presidential campaign, you have three opportunities where you can really move the dial. the announcement speech is really an opportunity because you get to be unfiltered. a lot of thought goes into it. when you should be speaking to the base. there is a conventional thing that we do at those where beatrice the candidate. you get to tell your story. with george and laura bush. i was asking about their daughters. being in theut delivery room. he completely mangled what he was trying to say. we all laughed. it was funny. we did it two or three more times and got it perfect. we went into the editing room. we all laughed in the editing room. , go back.es later the bad version. i go over to the campaign later. they say, are you crazy? it is authentic. people can relate to this area that it is funny. it is more honorable. it is human. let's admit the obvio

very well tailored to the rise of george bush and the marketing of george w. bush in terms of his personality, his character and his efforts to communicate. what george you bush ended up being was foreign policy. that clearly was not what he had in mind when he was elected. almost no coverage of foreign-policy in the 2000 election. presidential, the presidential election. we look how little coverage there is. there is an increasing focus. for george w. bush, it worked well to look at fox news for generating the image of its toughness. with respect to barack obama, you had had a very different strategy that you saw with the first two. in many ways, you could think of bill clinton and george w bush as being people that really believed that the best strategy for presidential communication is to be the sun king. there was not a policy issue that the two of them did not want to weigh in on. they did so with great opportunity and great aggressiveness. barack obama was a more dissident president. he did not try to dominate every new cycle. he did not insist it was ev

president trump has proven that he's not capable of doing what bill clinton barack obama and george w. bush did which is you can be investigating me over here on one side and then the next two hours later i'm going to sit down with you in a meeting and talk about policy the term administration has proven they can't walk and chew gum at the same time so if the democrats are investing investigating the trump white house and they're getting everything they're subpoenaing dumb donald trump's personal cell phone as taxes everything else he's not going to have the emotional intelligence to sit down and also have a policy conversation and then supposedly and he'll say you're investigating me so we're not going to talk about policy well that's not a very grown up way it requires acting like a great you have to behave like a grown up to govern and he doesn't usually behave like a grown up is palosi issue in to be the speaker i don't know how to democrat internal caucus i don't know how to handicap internal caucus issues for the democratic party i just don't know i think she probably will be th

fox news is very well tailored to the rise of church w bush and the marketing of george w. bush in terms of his personality. his character in his efforts to mitigate. what george w. bush ended up being as president, the foreign policy president, that clearly wasn't what he had in mind when he was elected in 2000. that's also not what the journalist had in mind. there was almost no coverage in the 2000 election. if you look back to another book i wrote, presidential election, the nightmare, with robert lichter, who teaches at mason, we look at coverage in presidential election cycle. but there is an increasing focus on character and munication and for george w. bush, it worked well to use fox news as a vehicle for generating the image of deafness. with brock obama, you had a different strategy when you saw with the first you. in many ways, you could think of bill clinton and george w. bush and the differences in politics as being people who really believed that the best strategy for presidential communication is to be this king. this thing that the bride at every wedding and

was assistant press secretary secretary under president george w. bush co-founder of maroon boards and e.q. jane and he joins us in studio in washington. what's your read on the shape of the american political system right this minute i think the big story is that the democrats now have the gavel and i think the trump team in general is woefully underprepared so for get president trump's performance at the press conference i think the team doesn't have the depth of the experience to understand what's coming their way with a wave of subpoenas i look at it like a pac twelve team playing alabama they may have a few exciting players that are fun to watch but they don't have the depth to handle what's about to come their way so you're going to they're going to be trying to govern run for reelection and deal with investigations a lot of my friends in the in the clinton white house and the bush white house a lot of my colleagues stuck around for the second term they said every morning they would get document request and document preservation request and it

pick our spot to kind of ambush the frontrunner, george w. bush, which was new hampshire. beat him there, beat him in south carolina with veterans support and then run the table. - how you doing? - well, hanging in there. but, the people in new houpshire want to meet y. i would have as many as five town hall meetings in a day. thank you again. - lunching with you. - thank you. it's my honor to be with you. john mccain. nice to see you how are you? they expect that and that's how we did it. how are you, sir? good to see you. looking forward to seeing you tonight. - so mccain talking absst some processues that normall pdon't resonate insidential primary much, but talking about campaign finance reform and kind of replacing political bs with straight talk, he hit a chord. he really hit a chord. and then we got that rocket fuel. he hit a chord. he really hit a chord. - gove bush called me. i was in my hotel room that afternoon, and said, "you need to comdown here," and i said, "well--" he said, "have you talked to karl?" and i said, "no." and he said, "well the polls have come

it would have started earlier with george w. bush. and richards had no right winning that race on the basic demographics of where the state was at the time. williams, how much was up? >> he was up double digits in september. >> any reasonable republican candidate would have likely won that race. but with everybody looking into 1994, expecting a hailstorm. >> in typical fashion, the democrats did not see it coming. >> i was a young staffer on the bush campaign i drove up to the reelection speech. i remember it like it was yesterday. it was one of the flattest speeches i had ever heard. it was interesting right out the gate. there was no energy in that campaign. they really struggled with what her message would be for reelection. we came out strong with a specific agenda and it was a solid campaign. >> she was enormously popular. those two trend lines did not cross until september. she was enormously popular. she was the delight of the democratic party. we had to prove that he was capable of governing and had a reason that he wanted to

. - george w. had been a successful governor of texas. he talked about a new kind of optimistic conservatis and 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 pu and sort of the reican establishment were all behind bush. - i felt we had a clear route. we thought that we could sort of weave our way past lamar alexander and elizabeth dole, and that we would have a challenge from steveorbes, 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 n hampshire and started, you know, this freewheeling 24-hour-a-day press conference on hisus. - senator, how do you reconcile the fact that you were one of the most vocal critics on pork barrel politics. and yet, while you were chairman of that committee set a record for unauthorized appropriations? i'm just kidding. no, i domet even know w

w. bush, george w. bush and certainly elements of my administration. the world was doing better because of globalization and there were folks whose factories were being closed and you have a winner take all economy back in 1960 maybe the ceo takes ten times more than the guy on the assembly line and now it is 200 times over 300 times the capacity of nationstates to regulate global capital. the communities that are being hurt by whether it is automation of the competition it becomes harder to do because everybody's worrying about what the quarterly reports are going to look like in wall street. so that creates frustration and contradictions. i think a legitimate critique which i consider myself to be part of and still believe it. the frustrations were going to flare up and all these changes that were happening were happening quick he had to address them and speak to them and in those environments you start getting a different kind of politics. you start getting a politics based on the nationalism that is and pride in country that hatred for somebody on

george w. bush beat al gore in florida by 537 votes. a tv anchor covered that recount and is back for this one. >> why is it happening again? we are asking ourselves the same question, why is it happening again. i have more faith we will have a better vote tally because we have gone mo electronic and i think we have advanced from the time of that election 18 years ago that we want tforget. rajini: teams are working around the clock to recountotes in these florida races. they have a deadline of th to make sure they get through them all. once that is done, if there was rgin of error of less than ape quarteent, they have to do the count all over again. this time it will be by hand. whatever the outcome, it is likely the results will be erntested in court. votes matter in election but in floridathey matter even more. vaidyanathan reporting on the grueling process underway in florida. with all the stress over brexit today, there was cause for celebration in the u.k., as as prince charles marked his 70th birthday. the party was held in buckin

the eight years i was us attorney with george w. bush much different presidency than we have now. no matter what a party thinks it is, it is who its leader is. the democratic party was different under bill clinton than it was under barack obama. even though many of the same players existed in major positions. the president writes the hymnal and the party things. that is the way it works in our system. i think that is why the party is different now. we have a different leader. some people sing loudly in the choir. some people don't like the hymnal as much so they pretend they are singing. some have their mouths moving a nothing is coming out. >> nobody is listening, it is okay. what about you? where are you with the choir? >> i look at politics as a binary function. to me people ask me all the time, you are the first major person to endorse donald trump, why did you do that? because i didn't want hillary clinton to be president of the united states. and so to me, i looked at it, i have been in the race and the rest of the guys on stage, they were not donald trump. just because i fi

bush and former first lady laura bush took home the prestigious award. george w. bush did bring a lot of freedom to all americans he maybe made it so that the dumbest moves slower witted americans had the freedom to think maybe i could be president. look. like a day like the ice president joe biden is there to do with this not about again democrats or republicans who. are. all. wow it really is just one big old club of sociopaths each other off in full view and. you know there's a but here's much to do that behind it this shad you ask. you can just whip it out you can whip out each other in a family friendly ceremony. put it why go to the pharmacy get them a present for the love of god the love of god gets of the press and claim. yeah i got a medal of freedom for george w. bush it's it's shaped a little different than the one he got from by the. way it is done it is still mad all. in order to clean up this storm you would. some sort of futuristic toilets i believe and i know just the guy bill gates has revealed he wants to revolutionize the toilet and he says doin

bush was only five hundred thirty seven votes george walker bush has won florida's twenty five a mark for all votes. this should put him over the top recount controversy back then and recount controversy today the woman who's in charge of tallying votes in one particular county brenda snipes was caught destroying ballots too soon during the twenty sixteen reelection bid by democratic rep debbie wasserman schultz now debbie wasserman schultz's name is synonymous with corrupt in her party practices from back when she was d.n.c. chief and favored hillary clinton over burning. republicans are quick to remember that scandal now even if former florida governor jeb bush who appointed brenda snipes wants her out there is no question the broward county supervisor of elections brenda snipes failed to comply with florida law multiple counts supervisors snipes should be removed from her office following the recounts however jeb bush's reputation isn't exactly clean either many of the cues to him of delivering florida for his brother back in two thousand by purging the voter rolls thank you very m

[applause] as someone who spends most of his time thinking about the past and talking to dead people and it's when they talk back that you are in trouble, i must say it's hard to imagine and it's a great tribute to the country that two such different people come to the pinnacle o

we didn't tell 250,000 democrats in florida to vote for george w. bush. we didn't tell secretate of s katherine harris not to violate election laws in 20 different ways and help steal the election. that's the scapegoat prob of the democratic party. they didn't want to look at themselves in the mirror and say, "we should've land-slided s. this man from texa they had every advantage, and instead of admitting their blunders, mistakes, stupidities, blame the green party, blame ralph nader. - it's not just ralph naderld as a self-deluded an. it's ralph nader as an expression of the worst element of left-wing politics, moralistic self-approval, moralistic rigidity, moralistic "my way or the highway - the nader campaign didn't really get either the democratic or the republican parties to take up his issues. what he became was a symbol for a lot of liberals of self-defeating purity, because a lot of liberals concluded that the country could have been spared george w. bush and his conservatism if only nader hadn't played the role of the spoiler. - you did have a t

w. bush you know that don't you yes that's a fact that's a fact i want to point it was a light said the difficulty was again it was it wasn't because it was on their bush and it was on their obama on the other side clinton but that's not what the ad said said but as you know the i said well but it doesn't make it until two cups that's not true that's full doesn't make it a lie doesn't make it a lie the things people thought so you have to live he'd laugh and then he said he wanted to kill caught more cops yes democrat yes let him back into killed as cops know george w. bush let him back and you agree with me i'm not sure that's the facts but under the obama administration because of very liberal rules and regulations regarding immigration this guy was allowed to run free so you know what let's do agree on this they're all you agree with me on a lot of comedy and video was false to say the democrats let him back into the country when it was blood all about oh my god i can feel that all of

i was with george w. bush last week reminiscing about what occurred at that time. it seems like a hundred years away right now. steve: the country at that point was united. does it take a tragedy to bring us together? sen. flake: sometimes. it certainly did at that point, and now it would probably take at least that. but the country did come , together. we voted overwhelmingly to allow the president go forward and go after the taliban in afghanistan. the notion that we could have an overwhelming vote like that and it would take a tragedy, perhaps, i hope it wouldn't, but that is the reality. steve: on june 14, 2017, you were in alexandria, virginia getting ready for a baseball game. what happened that morning? sen. flake: we had just finished batting practice -- or i had. i was standing between home plate and for space with joe barton when we heard a shot. we heard a shot ring out and we did not know what it was for a few second. we were just looking at each other. it sounded like a gunshot and then someone yelled, shooter, shooter. i remember turning to the dugout

something former presidents like george w. bush refused to do. we'll also have the latest on the michael avenatti saga. wait until you hear what the left is saying about thanksgiving. but first, yesterday the "new york times" reported that back in the spring president trump told white house counsel he wanted the justice department to prosecute james comey and hillary clinton. even though the d.a.g. did not file charges, democrats and the media wasted no time making this out to be a major story. take a look. >> this is what happens in a authoritarian countries, the president orders, the president, the leader, orders the investigation and prosecution of his political enemies. >> it's prime a fash evidence of abuse of power. >> this is a scandal, 15 on a 1 to 10 level. >> this is absolutely off the dharts. -- off the charts. donald trump is running his office like the head of a banana republic. >> if i had to channel richard nixon, i think he'd tell this president he's going too far. this is the sort of stuff, banana republic, this is what an autocr

bush, george w. bush, and certainly elements of my administration that we wanted to get the trans-pacific partnership done, for example, tpp. concensus arn free trade or -- it didn't fully address the fact that although net-net the whole world was doing better because of globalization and the internet and global supply chains, there were folks who-- whose factories were being closed and suddenly found themselves to be redundant workers and you suddenly had a winner take all economy where back in 1960 maybe the ceo makes ten times more than the guy on the assembly line. now suddenly it's 200 times, or 300 times and the capacity of nation states to regulate global capital. so at least they have some control where they say, you know what? let's speed things up, slow things down, let's ease the transition for communities that are being hurt by, you know, whether it's automation or foreign competition, that becomes harder to do because everybody's just worrying about what their quarterly reports are going

george w bush beat al gore in florida byjust 537 votes. tv anchor cover that in his back to this one. -- this tv anchor. why is it happening again? we are asking the same question. why is it happening again? i have more faith that we will have better vote tally because we have gone more electronic andi because we have gone more electronic and i think we have advanced from the time of that election 18 years ago that we all want to forget. teams are working around the clock to recount votes in these florida races. they have a deadline of thursday to make sure they get through them all. once a's done, if there is a margin of error of less than eight quarter of a percent in any of these races than they have to do the count all over again —— but this time it will be by hand. whatever the outcome it's likely the result will be contested in court. votes in every election, but in florida in a matter even more. rajini vaidya nathan there. rajini vaidyanathan there. this was a big election issue. hundreds of central american migrants travelling
