bush. [applause] >> as i was mentioning, this summit was quite different. every summit has its context. and in 1983, president reagan had issued the nation's report card called a nation at risk which suggested that we had dramatic improvements that needed to be made in our education system. whories of governors chaired the national governors association, lamar alexander in 1985-1986, governor bill clinton in 86-87, johnson knew, the governor of new hampshire and at that time the white house chief of staff who was a major force in encouraging this summit, then the governor of virginia and he was succeeded by terry branstad of iowa when president bush came into office. all of them were very eager to have governors involved in any discussions about education. and so, president bush determined that he, in fact, wanted this conference not to be his agenda but a joint agenda. so, governor branstad appointed a task force on education, cochaired by governor clinton of arkansas and governor carol ca

bush. shortly after, president bush followed his brid has died at 7s into the data beyond. today i ask that we bow our head for the moment to reflect on the void left by the passing of these two iconic americans and how to have funded them. >> thank you. throughout the year we honor the legacy where they chronicle the love affair between the presidential years into the bush connection. on w one, we gather to receive e wisdom shared ip insightful individual who visits the distinguished lecture. today we have the opportunity to examine a pivotal moment in american history and of america's educational system we gather to learn and commemorate the 50th anniversary of president bush condemning allmo0 u.s. governors to create a unified set of national educational goals. this work can't be the end of research at long last into the process of crafting educational policies. our events today will undoubtedly shed light on this dry up ththisdrive that we've me 27th, 1989 and this historic meeting took

[applause] >> susan page is the washington andau chief for usa today author of the best-selling biography of barbara bush called the matriarch. she will be signing copies of it after this. [applause] beschloss, one of our most well-known presidential historians who has written so many things, so many books, i will be asking you about some of the stuff that i found in my worn copy of character of all. something i want to ask all of lost- given that we have barbara bush and george h. w. bush so close together, what kind of reassessment do you think this has brought for the country as to what the bush name and what the significance really was of all of the work that they did in so many arenas of public service? >> looking back on it now coming close to a year, i just think about a life of public service. i think of the world war ii generation. it really wasn't about them as individuals. it was the turning of a page of our country's history in many respects. i was privileged to be asked t

bush is not like this at all. bush is incredibly direct, to the point, this, this key point, boom, boom, next. that was very much the pattern when we actually talked to him in 2004. here you are a few years later and you know why. michael: let me ask a question of all of you. there are certain presidents of whom the public perceptions forms that there must be somebody in their administration, or somebody in their white house who is really making things happen. for example, it arose for george w. bush. the perception of cheney, somebody is pulling the strings. president trump, steve bannon in. nobody ever says that about barack obama or bill clinton. is it a partisan thing? is it that the press thinks republicans are not smart enough to do it on their own and democrats are smart enough? chris: you just answer the question. michael: my question is, don't you agree? chris: i did not work with bill clinton. barack obama has an honest face, very smart, very, very smart. clearly had his hands on anything. to his fault h

even if you're a bush partisan and just about everyone who worked for bush became one if they had not been before. it's interesting, when just as a side bar comment, you do learn a lot about these leaders by looking at the attitudes of the people in the circle around them and just -- he commanded a lot of loyalty from the people around him, so, but why? there is something about the thin, ready voice, having been kind of a second banana to reagan for eight years. the sense that on the campaign trail he was -- he was actually not in my view a forceful and charismatic public speaker, by and large. he actually is one of those people, actually johnson had a little bit of this, too, and came across much better in public than in private. reagan, by the way, and sometimes it's just the opposite. so there are qualities there and there's an occasional quality that would leak to the surface and a sense that on the campaign trail he would spout the convention conventional pablum and people who had to say to different audiences and therefore people had trouble getting a firm sense of him and then

bush and gerald r. ford. george w. bush was that a keg >> that's the pinnacle of power a man who becomes cia director. party back then. david: jon: jon: that was the highest point in our system. yet you went to the places where the decisions made in those rooms had real-life implications. david: that's right. john and i worked together in newsweek and this was my first cover which really killed my relationship with bob dole. as you remember well. when i first met john, i was meeting with the editor of newsweek who was in 1995 wanting me to work for the magazine and cover the campaign. jon meacham walks and and maynard parker said i would like you to meet jon meacham our nation editor. i thought he was an intern taking coffee orders. he was 25 or 26 years old. you have probably been carded most of your life. jon: i have a bit of hair dye now. i tried to use that. david: at least people have not referred to you as this photo is one of the first we ended up with a fantastic relationship. he is the guy relationship. he is

why they told president bush these techniques were necessary. the basically came back to these ten plots and captures where cia said without torture we would not have got a man called is a pity, we would not have got the second waiter raised plots against the united states. so we took the cia at their word and we use those 6.3 million pages of records together and build the story. we looked at 20 cases altogether, 20 of the most frequently cited cases that said without eits this person would not have been caught or captured. and in all 20 cases it was not that eits were responsible, but other intelligence methods from people and governments provided. some of these key suspects are claimed to have given us vital information, and the extent to which that vital information came, was unknowable, some have said. so how can you claim to know? so this drives me nuts. first of all, let's go back to what the department ofjustice said these techniques are necessary because we cannot obtain this intelligence any other way. so they called it otherwise unava

bush administration and mr. block believes strongly in separation of church and state and he believed that funding for religious groups violated that and one way he depicted it, of course, was by showing the newspaper headline and the guy rolling his eyes and looking at the steeple over the white house emphasized the point that mr. block believed that george w. bush had a strong affiliation with religious groups. christian religious groups, in particular. one of the reason yes mr. block cartoons about for decades was on equality and civil rights. he really believed that african-americans deserved an equal chance and an equal opportunity, and eight years after the passage of brown versus board of education which was supposed to desegregate the public schools and universities and give everyone an equal education, in 1962 he pointed out that that still was not the case. there were states in the country that had chosen to shutter their public schools rather than desegregate. so we have a little girl holding a birthd

president bush later denied any u.s. involvement in the operation. >> i can tell you that is not true. we have noeat, argument with the panamanian defense forces. we have good relations with the panamanian defense forces. >> but an investigative journalist in panama all during the coup attempt disputes these claims. >> the idea on the american side was to lead these plotters along, to seduce them into believing they had the support of the united states and abandon them so that the excuse could be made we had to smash the pdf completely. we could not rely on disgruntled officers inside the panamanian noriega,ise up against and we would have to do this ourselves. >> after the coup attempt, 1300 u.s. troops were flown into panama, and equipment was secretly deployed. the u.s. military stepped up its campaign of intimidation and provocation, setting up roadblocks, conducting offensive military maneuvers outside of u.s. jurisdiction. >> [speaking foreign language] >> they have blocked passage here. what security? the panamani

bush was right -- we got rid of a class of nuclear weapons. but it is a different world than it was in 1987. and the russians had been tryi to get out of that treaty for a long time, margaret. they called me on -- the russian defence minister called and said, "you know, we ought to get out of that inf treaty, because the only --" this is probablyround 2003 or '04. "because the only untries that its constraining are the united states and russia. doesn't constrain china, it doesn't constrain india." and i said, "you know, we got to get out of this inf treaty." so, we didn't because of allied concerns, principally, so they ju started undermining it and cheating. i think the time had probably come, and the russians forced our hand, and i completely support what the president did in getting out of the treaty. [ cheers and applause ] >> you write in your book that 1989 was the year that transformed the continent. and one of the things you say about your first presidential boss, george h.w. bush, whom you called the "father of german reunification,"

george bush and barack obama, and six lines people would say, that is george bush or barack obama, and so once you have done the outline of the face in the years of obama, before you have completed it, people can tell what you are drawing, so it is a mystical thing. so the facial recognition software in our brains is very acute in one of the things that the caricatures can use to their advantage. it takes a little effort to be nonpart san when yisan when you the coasters and things. at "politico" i am paid to have an opinion and express it strongly and the same with anne and carol, and we get to dial it back. which i also understand is that it is not just that we don't want to unnecessarily roil people when they come in for a drink at the bar, but one of the nice things about the bar and what i have learned about the churl of washington culture of washington is there is a culture of comedy, and you learn to get along with people that you may disagree with politically, and you can sit down and have a drink with them. that is the spirit of the bar, and the spirit that we all bring to the

bush is looking for a more moderate individual to replace sandra day o'connor who is in the middle and john roberts in the reagan years had not been made public. he built a reputation as the dc circuit, he represented all manner of clients in private practice so he was an ideal candidate for associate judgeship it was only 50 so he gets named to that and everyone is thinking chief justice william rehnquist has thyroid cancer. he will step down soon and president bush was thinking maybe possibly elevate justice scalia, possibly look for a more seasoned jurist for the position but what happened in the interim before justice scalia does die on september 3rd, hurricane katrina happens and many of you remember we have hundreds, thousands of people die in the gulf region, president bush is roundly criticized for the federal government trying to solve the problem of many blacks dying and summary without their homes down there. the administration was just embattled when the chief justice dies. by this point john roberts put on a show for senators, not in a confirmation hearing but in the court
