i would be amazed if george bush senior was in daily plaza too. there were hundreds of people there. >> how do conspiracy theories like i think ronald was connecting dots there that may or may not be a part of -- how did they begin? >> some of the most aggressive conspiracy theories are pushed pie conspiracy theory writers who are usually flawed and there is never an answer. if you change and show them one true fact they will invent a false fact to replace it. they have too much currency and they are complicit answers to complex problems they are bogus, dissort history and are not healthy for the body of politics. i think they pushed primarily by the people who write about them >> jack is in providence rhode island and you are on booktv. >> caller: the media hated nixon. in particular the "washington post" and secondally the roosevelt administration was corrupt to the t. it was loaded with communist. harry dexter white being one of them and to get off this issue, i would like to talk about something different than watergate. tell me about anna shu

that is george bush, sr. if i had had to ride it when they were all still with us from new haven to texas with one of them, he would be the one i would pick. he is a wonderful, friendly, real man, a gentleman, and interesting, with many good stories to tell, which he tells extremely well. generous in the extreme. i was at his apartment at the university -- at college station, where the bush senior library is. the apartment above his couch, five photographs. one was of president bush and margaret thatcher, one with gorbachev, ronald reagan, the standard presidential political portraits. but in the middle, about twice as big, three times as big, was a picture of george h.w. bush was a picture of joe dimaggio and ted williams. you could tell which he thought was more important in the scale of things. there was a wonderful picture of each of them, and he explained that he awarded them some kind of presidential recognition, and they had taken the picture in the rose garden. each had signed it. i said, what a great

so when they proposed mitt romney's bill they opposed it and george bush's bill they opposed it anyway and the cap and trade bill they opposed it anyway. >> and so in 2014, the president first did was to describe the veto strategy was, and it goes both ways. >> and the first thing that the republicans did was to start with the social agenda. >> i named you three. >> and so -- >> one at a time. >> there is a huge element there where they are having a hard time and talking past each other, and much more rhetoric and not enough emphasis put on the trying to make progress. >> paul, you are saying it is not fair to say both sides. >> of coursers it is both sides. the president has bad relations on the hill with both. he is not good at it. it is true. >> he is no bill clinton. >> well, if he were here he would say if i were lbj, it would not work because i don't have anyone with whom to engage. my point is this there are three central proposals of the obama presidency all came from republicans, and he has the midas touch in reverse. he has the marxist touch, anything h touches goes in revers

i think evolution is the right word when applied to president george w. bush's style. he came in with a lot of advantages, a governor so not familiar really with the national security issues and apparatus the way many candidates or new presidents come to the office. but he also came into office having been a student of his dad's administration which had some of the most able and most effective national security decision making apparatus in our modern history. of so he had an opportunity to work that. -- to watch that. so he did not come into office as a naive. but his administration was struck with really the greatest national security shock in our lifetimes, certainly in the postwar era. and as condi said had to respond on the fly. we were not prepared to deal with an attack on the homeland. we were in an era that as zbig just described as sort of as it was the end of history in the period president bush came in. and he came into office intending to be the education president, not intending to be national security president. he, you know, he was figuring and hoping th

that's george w. bush's position. it used to be john mccain's position. can jeb bush sell that in today's republican paertd? >> been saying this for a while. i think we said it here before, that jeb bush is much more concerned and is looking to the general election, looking to the appeal to independents and maybe some democrats. he's less worried and concerned it seems about this early stuff. the question is, does that strategy work? there's a mixed bag on engaging or not engaging with iowa from the past few cycles. i look at it as kind of like members of the press. you know, somebody starts covering one story. we're not going to worry about that just yet. i guess we have to. that's the risk that he has is he avoids iowa too long, he'll show up and they'll say, where were you at that freedom summit that steve king hosted back in january 2013? >> when you look at such a crowded field does he get enough of iowa to move on? >> he's working very hard to show he's not going to kiss off iowa, but that remains to be seen. iowa voters like to see people come ther

bill clinton, george bush, and barack obama. it is most associated with obama, but the other two previous sentence -- presidents has had the same thing. and washington has become more acrimonious and more gridlocked. this is why we need political reform. our system is broken. i think a lot of people in this town and auditorium would agree with me that the gerrymandering of our house district is a principal cause of the kind of nonsense that we all have to suffer through. the inability of congress to get anything done. probably political reform is not exciting. >> but they cannot get anything done. how do they reform? >> congress is not going to do it. we have seen some action out in the states. it has to be state-by-state because they control how the district are written and drawn. but the only way anything happens is that has to be popular momentum behind it. most people say they want political reform when asked. but nobody votes on political reform. that is why politicians -- if there was a pale to -- payoff to campaigning on,

and that is george bush sr. and if i had to -- or if i would have had to ride, when they were all still with us, from new haven from texas with one of them, he would be the one i would pick. because he's a wonderful friendly real man a gentleman and interesting, with many good story to tell, which he tells extremely well. and generous in the extreme. i was at his apartment at university of -- at college station where the bush, sr. library is. and in the apartment above his couch were five photographs. one was of president bush with margaret thatcher. another with president bush with gorbachev or ronald reagan. but in the middle about that big, twice as big, three times as big as any of the others was the picture of george h.w. bush with joe demash yo and ted williams. and you could tell which he thought were more important in the scale of things. it was a wonderful picture of each of them. and he explained that he awarded them some kind of presidential recognition and they had taken the picture in the rose garde

i knew president george h w bush very well. when president clinton came in i got to know him, not on a personal friendship where he would invite me over, but got to meet with him and i could talk with him and meet with hillary clinton when she was first lady, and then afterwards she became senator of new york, and then secretary of state, no doubt about that, eight years of that. and they went george w. bush came in, i had met him originally when he was a staffer at the white house with his father. and we struck up a very good relationship, and i think that was one of the reasons why he sent me to africa in 2002 for the purpose of determining the feasibility of developing a program that might transform hiv-aids in the developing world. so i got to be quite close with president george w bush, related not only to the fact that i knew his father, but the fact that he took a very keen interest in a global hiv-aids, and allowed me to be one of the architects of the program that is now transforming hiv globally, the president's emerg

and that is george bush, sr. and if i had to -- or if i would have had to ride, when they were all still with us, from new haven from texas with one of them, he would be the one i would pick. because he's a wonderful friendly real man, a gentleman, and interesting, with many good story to tell, which he tells extremely well. and generous in the extreme. i was at his apartment at university of -- at college station where the bush, sr. library is. and in the apartment above his couch were five photographs. one was of president bush with margaret thatcher. another with president bush with gorbachev or ronald reagan. but in the middle, about that big, twice as big, three times as big as any of the others was the picture of george h.w. bush with joe dimaggio and ted williams. and you could tell which he thought were more important in the scale of things. it was a wonderful picture of each of them. and he explained that he awarded them some kind of presidential recognition and they had taken the picture in the rose gar

sheila bair, a republican appointed by george bush. but she was a bob dole republican and they've now become dismissed. of course there's room for change in any complicated bill. i'd like to toughen in. it other cases we should clarify things. here's the problem. you can't go to war, you can't say, we're going to totally repeal this, no regulation is necessary. when the house voted on this bill the republicans didn't offer various amendments as their basic point. they offered a motion to kill all financial reform. so the answer is this. yeah, we should be working together to try and make improvements in anything. but you can't do that while you have people threatening to undo the whole thing. >> congressman, how do you assess this republican party today? i mean is it the same old, same old. $1.2 billion into lobbying and campaign spending in the last election cycle, $1.2 billion they poured in. how much influence does the industry have on capitol hill? >> well, they have a lot, the financial mint treeistry, if the public is not paying

. >> it was bush. >> it was george bush. >> which one? >> w. >> i feel stupid. this is terrible. >> you know, it was warm out there, it might have been the sun? >> yeah, the best was who won? russia because it was cold. and who did we play against? the south. >> now, people always say that you go out and spotlight the dumbest people you can find. >> no, come on. i went out and looked for girls who were attractive and looked for guys drinking. your average typical guys at the beach, right? >> they weren't intoxicated. >> no,'zj i got there at 11:00. so people hadn't been drinking that long. but people are normal/averagea[z college kids. >> we don't hand out the right answers, right? >> bill, this could have been ten minutes long. we have much more where this came from. >> was anybody smart? >> one of the girls was four for five and she was -- >> the one in the green bathing suit. >> we dinged her a lot. then the girl with the thong she was one for five. the two brothers were 0 for 5, they were in trouble. >> next time ask them where they went to college or high s

how did that go for george w. bush? >> the big news from the world of presidential campaign money to report to you tonight, political pros call this early fund dz raising part of it the first primary. well tonight we have a winner. george w. bush stunned everybody by disclosing he raised $36.2 million, that smashes all previous standing records. >> it was 37.2 when they tallied everything up. this was stunning. you look at this money today, 37 million, not that much. in 1999 it was shocking that george w bush raised this money and made a definitive statement and signal to republicans who were maybe on pt fence, it was time to get on board. look what happened. because he raised the money in the middle of 1999 look what it did. first of all, you take a poll and suddenly he was he was overwhelmingly ahead, 47 points ahead. look at this look what happens over the next two months. six different candidates john kasich lamar alexander, elizabeth bowldole, pat buchanan. because george w bush raised so much money and brought in

bush. >> george w. bush gets west virginia. >> narrator: west virginia. >> west virginia, which has been solidly in the democratic column for a long, long time. >> bill clinton's home state has gone bush. >> narrator: and arkansas. >> six electoral votes and they go for bush. >> narrator: and even al gore's home state of tennessee. >> tonight, embarrassing vice president gore by snatching his state's 11 electoral votes. >> al gore lost his home state lost west virginia. these are states that he should have won. >> had any of those states gone the other way, al gore would have been president. >> florida goes bush, the presidency is bush, that's it. >> narrator: in washington, they say the nra was a decisive factor in al gore's defeat. >> in no small measure, it was that fight over guns after columbine that had the firearm community more enlivened engaged, and a few votes difference in florida, and the whole thing would have gone the other way. >> i, george walker bush, do solemnly swear that i will faith

i don't know this george bush. i know fred willpond who told me he's a terrific guy if you get to know him. i like the fact that he's a man of of faith. i don't like the way he uses it. religion is the most interesting piece in that book, how lincoln's religion would be and bush's religion. no. so i do -- i do not like his policies at all. i don't like them on the war. here's why not on the war. you say that weapons of mass destruction, complicity and imminence of the threat. you admit that you were wrong about all three, but you say the war is justified anyway. why? because you wanted to take down saddam who's a bad man. so you're saying you're going to justify the loss of 850 americans thousands of innocent iraqis the loss of $150 billion billion, the loss of the respect of much of the world, and you're saying that would justify your doing it again. if you had a similar situation, a dictator who was a tyrant there are plenty of them. in africa in syria, in korea god forbid north korea you ever get it in your head

. >> i could also think of george bush senior in 1998. >> the primaries push them to the right, they came with a centrist pragmatic push to the right in the primary and then when you have to try to campaign more to defend this in the general election it seemed authentic. i think that there were other problems with romney ted cruz is not the first that we have seen like rand paul certainly not afraid to dip his toes back in the water. but if he wants to be having a shot at being nominated, you have to connect him with a conservative candidate in the general election and right now his biggest problem is electability. >> i think that we are talking about this but we were key to a lot of of this is having a sense of humor. >> that is something else that i think that cruz was directing at people. this idea of a personality standing out. but comediennes they were not. so what do you think of that? >> i agree with that entirely. winston churchill said like amanda grins while he fights. that is what ronald reagan was. >> he wasn't firing on also wonders. and the point is that i don't think i

on 9/11, nobody was worried about george bush's image. what they needed to do when they got him to the oval office was to reassure the american public as only the president of the united states can do. there is only one person at a time like that can communicate to the american public and reassure them. it is the president. >> it is about anything that happens in the world. anything of consequence that happens in the world. what is the president of united states saying about it? there is no other person in the world. something happens -- what is putin going to say? any major event of consequence. what is the president of united states saying about it? >> we will do quickly the last questionnaires. a lightning round if we could. >> good morning. i'm from miami-dade honors college. my question goes to ms. dunn. i want -- he has had a somewhat successful relationship with the press with medi.a. >> i do not know if it is something he could've done better. in retrospect when we first came to the white house and throughout the administration co

bush. but if you look at the situation this is where a version we had a partisan environment where there was in effect a kind of agreement by congress that something like this made sense before they actually got around to clarifying the law and nothing like that situation contained here, but it is again precisely the population that they have acted about an issue of the heated ongoing congressional debate. it's that combination and i think a third combination is added as is the case where the president is using unilateral action and the threat of unilateral action. and so they have stated this in public. and they need to pass a bill with the implication that they need to do this and they aren't inclined to have this legislation to pass the senate right now without controversy among the republican majority. and so again is there any law in the books that say that he cannot do this and the congressional debate. no, there is no such law but using expansions, presidential authorities to bully a

the apogy of this influence, it seems to me came very recently in the presence of george w.e. bush. in the age of bush this was obviously true in a top-down sense, from the white house, not just the president himself, but figures like condoleezza rice and steven hadley. all through the bush administration, religion was maybe not dominant but certainly very prevalent. this was true even in a place like the pentagon in which there weren't a lot of demonstrably religious officials presiding people like don rumsfeld who are not the most spiritual men but a lot of pentagon briefings began realistically during the bush presidency with powerpoint slides that would start with scripture or a biblical verse or some sort of -- usuallilyy christian but overtly religious invocation. this was also true in a bottom up sense epitomized in bush politics which pushed for bush optimism. bush's foreign policy through and through maybe wasn't guided or driven by religion -- i'm not saying the united states had a certain foreign policy in pursuit of particular religious goals, but religion in a very obvi

on 9/11, nobody was worried about george bush's image. what they needed to do when they got him to the oval office was to reassure the american public as only the president of the united states can do. there is only one person at a time like that can communicate to the american public and reassure them. it is the president. >> it is about anything that happens in the world. anything of consequence that happens in the world. what is the president of united states saying about it? there is no other person in the world. something happens -- what is putin going to say? any major event of consequence. what is the president of united states saying about it? >> we will do quickly the last questionnaires. a lightning round if we could. >> good morning. i'm from miami-dade honors college. my question goes to ms. dunn. i want -- he has had a somewhat successful relationship with the press with media. >> i do not know if it is something he could've done better. in retrospect, when we first came to the white house and throughout the administration co

and it wasn't to protect george w. bush. it was to protect the constitutionally elected government of a democracy and those next in line of the succession of pow fer that would ever need to be. it was to watch a very well oiled plan come into effect. it's amazing to me onboard air force one, where we flew around for hours, couldn't land, couldn't go anywhere. the extent how little we knew on the plane. president bush, as i recall, had three secure telephone line, heckeds talk to the white house he could talk to mayor giuliani, but he couldn't really get much of a feel for it. there are television sets embedded into the front bulkhead wall of each cabin on air force one and they -- the communications deck was able to pull up a very weak tv signal from the ground. and that's where we could see for those of us on the plane, the first tower fall and then the second and it was a very frightening thing. we finally landed once in louisiana because basically air force one crew told me they were out of fuel. they had only had enough

. >> george bush was in the white house most of those years the question is are we safer today? >> obama has been in the white house sometime now. >> right. and that is a serious wave of a conversation. >> is he talking to the intelligence community they'll tell thu is the most-dangerous period we've had since the pre-september 11th period. terrorists are ascended across the world in yemen, the government is about to be toppled they've established a new kalifa in iraq. we have withdrawn from afghanistan and in the state of the union address hooes he's gloating about withdrawing our troops from iraq which is the policy that created the rise of isis. so we're -- invading iraq created isis, actually. >> no. it didn't. >> what are you even talking about? >> let her make her point, please. >> wait a minute. >> isis rose out of the invasion of iraq. it was -- they did not exist there, before. that isn't up for debate the fact you just dismissed that? there was no isis before we made it in iraq. >> the fact is that al qaeda in iraq was defeated during the surge by george w. bush, barac

. >> clearly, when george bush was the president or barack obama was president, there are people coming from partisan camps trying to take somebody down. i have not seen things i have seen in the obama presidency. for a president, i don't care who you are democrat or republican, when you give a state of the union address, you are speaking for the country. the globe is watching. they are watching in china. when you have a republican congressman heckle the president's seat, forget who the president is and show that level of disrespect then raise money on that, a lot of money that's unacceptable. i see how moments of that symbolize they are not going to give this guy a shot. but i want to give credence to something he said. i think when he talked about the corrosive talks, that type of partisanship, as soon as i open my mouth, a lot of americans say oh, he's a democrat. i'm not going to listen to what he said. a lot of people watching your show won't take time to listen to who he is what his background or his values because he's a republican or touch third rail and make them shut down. you

i don't know this george bush. i know fred willpond who told me he's a terrific guy if you get to know him. i like the fact that he's a man of of faith. i don't like the way he uses it. religion is the most interesting piece in that book, how lincoln's religion would be and bush's religion. no. so i do -- i do not like his policies at all. i don't like them on the war. here's why not on the war. you say that weapons of mass destruction, complicity and imminence of the threat. you admit that you were wrong about all three, but you say the war is justified anyway. why? because you wanted to take down saddam who's a bad man. so you're saying you're going to justify the loss of 850 americans thousands of innocent iraqis the loss of $150 billion billion, the loss of the respect of much of the world, and you're saying that would justify your doing it again. if you had a similar situation, a dictator who was a tyrant there are plenty of them. in africa in syria, in korea god forbid north korea you ever get it in your head

the story is always that it was jeb bush that george bush senior saw as the natural successor in politics, not george w. it may end up being the case when jeb got around to having his chance to run for president, george w. had done so much damage to the family name jeb couldn't play that role his father always wanted him to play. >> steve are you going to be discussing the whole brady line about -- are you just going to suppress the news? >> come on you're from boston. >> i can't buy that story today. thank you both very much for joining me tonight. >>> coming up president obama will not be meeting with benjamin netanyahu when he comes to washington to lobby against the president at the invitation of john boehner. and house republicans should have known that their first big vote was going to be a failure. the women in their own party warned them. >>> later, quarterbacks and their balls. i don't want to think about the alternative. i don't even know how to answer that. i mean, no one knows how long their money is going to last. i try not to worry but you worry. what happens when your paych

president george h.w. bush immediated to make a difficult choice. in order to solve the problem he would have to compromise with congressional democrats and risk miss political future. he had promised americans no new taxes during the presidential campaign two years earlier and was voted into office on that promise. but he had also promised to serve his country. and he decided that that was the promise that he would keep. both parties compromised and passed the 1990 omnibus budget reconciliation act which raised the number of tax rates in exchange for limits on annual discretionary spending. the president who began the year with overwhelming approval rating ended with far less support and became the target of attacks from both side of the aisle. the budget deal enacted needed reforms at the expense of the president's popularity. america's gain was president bush's loss, and his decision to put country above party and political prospects makes l an example of a modern row file in courage that is all too rare. we wish that president bush could be with

i mean george bush, the first george bush. it would be good for the president, he said. and i don't want you to win but you know, so he had a kind of peculiar way about him. he also -- hammond who is now deceased, said i'm going to arrange a meeting with the governor, which he did and that was strangely erased just before i left for moscow and he swore that it was because the bush people found out and they didn't want that so it was that kind of thing. we talked a lot about the economy? no. strike we talked. he talked a lot about it. because at that stage if his life, it was very hard to interrupt his flow. he would call you how are you i saw this governor, you did very well and then you would say thank you very much mr. president. incidentally, what do you think about, boom, and that was the end of it. that was it an then he would stay on that. whatever the subject was the economy, foreign policy, and when you tried to get in he returned it so it was mostly a way for him to ventilate, i thought, the conversation. i met him once it was in new york after that but most of

lou: joining us now is carl cove, former deputy chief of staff for george bush. fox news contributor. karl, i have to say john impressed me by inviting netanyahu to appear before a joint session of congress. it was a stroke of brilliance. i suspect they're still choking about it at the courthouse. >> theywhite house. >> you have a significant number of democrats (?) in the house and senate who are supportive of this back-up sanctions bill. remember, this doesn't impose sanctions on iran. it simply says that in the event that they're unable to reach an agreement, the sanction tools will be immediately available for the president. it allows the president to slip the deadline, like he's been doing. he just has to go to the congress and say i'll try for another 30 days. i'll try and negotiate this beyond the deadline i publicly stated. the white house can't be happy about this. they have netanyahu, who will provide a principled and, i think powerful case for the necessity of reigning in iran. and they'll have a large number of democrats on the hill, led in the senate

bush successful strategy. the assumption was that the evangelical electorate was still very much a slumbering giant and white evangelicals did turn out in great numbers for romney but obama still one fairly comfortably. as usual the political winds were easier to detect than actual policy changes were to affect. in this presentation i am definitely slighting the policy side suggested obama had proven to be a consistent social liberal who operates within the faith-based framework he inherited from the bush administration, for example he kept the faith-based office and started a similar initiative in the state department. in conclusion, nearly four decades after letting 76, the year when george gallup junior announced the year of the evangelical and when jimmy carter won office the potential relevance was no longer taken for granted. among the chattering classes all signs suddenly pointed to decline, markers ranged from the sale of the iconic crystal cathedral mega church to the increasing number of americans wh

president george h w bush a difficult choice in order to solve the problem. you would have to compromise with congressional democrats and risk his future. he had promised americans no new taxes and was voted into office on a promise but it also promised to serve his country and he decided that was the promise that he would keep. both parties compromised in the ominous budget reconciliation act, which significantly raised taxes. the president to began the year with overwhelming national approval ratings ended it with far less support and quickly became the target of attacks. the budget deal acted on desperately needed reforms at the expense of the president's popularity. america's game was president bush's loss and his decision to put party -- makes him an example of a modern profile in courage. i know we wish that president bush could be with us today but we are so happy that lauren bush is here on behalf of her grandfather. lauren is a committed servant in her own right. she works as the ceo and is the chairman of the board of the sea foundation. the feet fo

but on the tale about the 1990 visit was at the time the senior george bush, was the president of the country and some of us who are democrats coming coming coming into elizabeth warren supporters look back on the first bush presidency with easter certain nostalgia and aggravation and i just wonder if you would have any sort of particular memories of the senior president bush. >> so with senior president bush i have to tell you when we were at blair house and he said it won't you come with me to see president bush and i said i don't think that's very appropriate. >> we still have a photograph together with the sun and you and me at the dinner so you didn't eastgate. [laughter] but first of all i should clear this up on the fact that we went to georgetown, you're all modern -- alma mater. he liked bush 41 very much and he is a president who gave him three gracious reception. it's the votes of the square. it was after president bush retired we went to see him in kenny bunk port 1995. president bush came with his cigar boat and drove harvard all the way to kenny bunk port and he was neve

but one detail about the 1990 visit was at the time the senior george bush was the president. and with a certain admiration. if you have particular memories of senior president bush and his reception of that visit? >> i have to tell you when we were at blair house he said come with me to see the president i said not think that is appropriate. >> right. [laughter] >> we still have a photograph together but you did not escape it. [laughter] but first of all, i should be clear within the confusion that when we went to georgetown and we did go to george washington the next visit 1991. not just as a president to give him a gracious reception and he did not treat him like a president but with respect and affection and later the same year on the 17th of november president bush came in they spoke at the square and was a little alarmed because somebody had sausages in nearby. [laughter] with that speaking platform but my fondest memory of that relationship but after president bush retired we went to see him in the kennebunkport 1995 state with president bush and barbara it in the eveni

the story is always that it was jeb bush that george bush senior saw as the natural successor in politics, not george w. it may end up being the case when jeb got around to having his chance to run for president, george w. had done so much damage to the family name, jeb couldn't play that role his father always wanted him to play. >> steve, are you going to be discussing the whole brady line about -- are you just going to suppress the news? >> come on, you're from boston. >> i can't buy that story today. thank you both very much for joining me tonight. >>> coming up, president obama will not be meeting with benjamin netanyahu when he comes to washington to lobby against the president at the invitation of john boehner. and house republicans should have known that their first big vote was going to be a failure. the women in their own party warned them. >>> later, quarterbacks and their balls. welcome back to showdown! i'm jerry rice here discussing the upcoming big race between the tortoise and the hare. jerry, the hare always brags about his speed. fine, but he crossed the line when he tol

george bush signed as many as he wanted to. i never read anywhere, oh i'm in germany reading that -- oh he had the nerve to sign an executive order. he went over the legislators. i said to my daughter, i said my god. the legislators are sent to washington from their districts. the president of the united states, bill clinton, george bush sr. and jr., was sent to america's white house by the united states of america. they're constituents. citizens voted them in. barack obama went there the same way. when george bush signed his name, nobody said a word. that's what i read in germany about america. we are sending a very bad signal about who we are. we are bigger than that and we are better than that. but you have to make the difference. i'm proud to be here dr. eskew. and i'm honored to be here. but i just wan you, who are our leaders, to please pretty please, pretty pretty please make sure that our young people know the facts and inspire them to be leaders. because if not, our young people, if they don't do it, who will? and if y

but i think the biggest problem for jeb bush and george w. bush is going to be foreign policy. the american people don't want to go back to the george w. bush foreign policy. they have had enough of wars enough of nation building and that's going to be jeb bush's biggest problem in a general election, is how to differentiate himself from the george w. bush foreign policy. i don't think he can successfully. that's going to be his biggest hurdle. >> former governor ed rendell, thank you for your time tonight. >> my pleasure rev. >>> we're following breaking news, nbc news reporting that there is an active shooter incident in progress at the v.a. clinic in ft. bliss, texas. officials say the base is now on lockdown. both military and civilian police are in a stand-off with what is believed to be a lone shooter. no word yet on any casualties. more on this after the break. anks to the tools and help on experian.com. kaboom... well, i just have a few other questions. >>chuck, the only other question you need to ask is, "what else can you do for me?" i'll just take a water... get your

and as for dick cheney and george bush? i really don't think i can add anything to what colonel wilkerson and richard clarke have said. i think if you look at the report, it provides very persuasive evidence that torture was used to produce false evidence to justify the invasion of iraq. that is buried in footnotes in the report but it is there. it is very, very clear. that is a shocking and humiliating fact for the united states, in a fact that should have consequences. >> over the weekend, nine pakistanis were killed as far as we know and yet another drone strike, perhaps the first of 2015 the we don't absolutely know this. talk about drones in the art of stealth warfare. >> i think the use of drones are it is her significant. it points to the way we have redirected our entire attitude toward waging war today. we prefer covert war. we give the cia a greater a greater role in waging this war. the ca has become opposite of what it was intended to be. it is focused very heavily on operations, and many of them's just -- susta
