laura bush spent most of that time in austin. as did george bush. and she talked about how she tried to keep herself busy. there was just this time to wait. and not to -- didn't get things started really too much because she wasn't sure what would happen and once they were sworn in she spent many months not being in washington. she had two daughters who were going off to college. she wanted to make sure she got them settled and saw that as her first responsibility. and she was only beginning to figure out what she was going to do and how she was going to focus her attention when september 11 came along. >> so with that theme, mark updegrove, historic proportions. we have second impeesmment in history. just before the election. we have a supreme court making a decision. and the outcome of the election. how difficult is it for a presidency to establish itself in the wake of all of this turmoil? >> well, i think -- i looked up what ann said. they transitioned into the white house life relatively easily. and it's interesting. right before 9-11 occurred,

george bush's aspiration to be president, to build whatever kind of environmental record might, and sells in some ways texas is a model for these other states if you can do a kind of mandate here you shouldn't be able to do it in other places but texas also has its own aspect, its own peculiar history that distinguish it. >> i will lead briefly that a mandate, renewable energy mandated just about any other kind of mandate is not so popular these days as it was 15 years ago. >> is fascinating about how republican politicians were behind the mandate 15 years ago, is john kerry going to point to texas as the leader in wind energy or in the republican primary will come out that it is part of the mandate? so how politicians in this state running for statewide office or national office think about wind energy, it will be interesting over the next year or two. >> following up on that could you talk about the business of wind, i hear different things but is it really viable. in other words without tax credits and incentives and mandates from on high, would it even exists? is it a viable financial

george bush endorsed the dni in concept 10 days later. so this speaks to the tremendous force, the incredible forces that were outplayed at this particular time. however, while a lot of members of congress and the two leading individuals of each political party endorse the 9/11 commission's recommendation nearly immediately, it inspired tremendous bureaucratic opposition. and this is really the heart of "blinking red." it is a tale of bureaucratic power and jockeying for influence really over the $80 billion intelligence enterprise who would be able to control the intelligence assets of the united states. .. >> next on book tv this mail talks about his novelo

can you imagine if this were george w. bush? we would be talking about a constitutional crisis, front page "new york times" splashed above the fold, george w. bush, dictator president. you're seeing none of that now. it's a big deal when you change the laws and it should be a big deal. >> another major issue comes up in discussing these power grabs, the issue how the media is covering them. while we've seen criticisms from republicans and liberal scholars, some news outlets have ignored the story, others have even defended the president. "the washington post," obama's justifiable power grab. "the l.a. times" said, rational response to an increasingly gridlocked congress. and then there's the huffington post. necessary roughness. why obama's use of executive power is justified. howard kurtz is with me now. i'm sure the huffington post was just as vocal in defending president bush with his executive authority uses. >> had this been george w. bush, megyn, changing unilaterally several times over and over the law, the main stream me

but i think george herbert walker bush in many ways embodies what we are talking about. deeply competitive. his mother expected them to climb all of the trees in the yard and grow in greenwich, and that was the expectation. >> you could not not do it. >> you could not not do it, so he was driven at once by this ambition to do well, but then not to talk about it and get not to talk about himself, so he had this somewhat dissonant tradition banging around in his head, which was to be number one, but when you get to be number one, don't tell anyone you are number one. talk about the other guy, and i would argue that his charisma in many ways, which is often not a word we associate with george h w bush, he became president one thank you note at a time, one personal connection at a time, over that long. people. he only won three elections, two house races in houston, texas, and president of the united states. >> but he had 1000 friends read >> just endless, and that was his days. the bush base was personal. >> there is no particular training to be president. we saw president

you are working on a book on george bush 41. >> i think it to say that ambitious people want to be president is at the risk of being obvious. >> that was always the case. >> always. withnk there is a spectrum the people we have written about. they require -- they have appetites for the affection and respect of other people. the basic unit of commerce and politics is i want to make you trust me just enough to get a vote so i have your proxy until the next election or until the next issue, so everything is transactional, and i think that takes a toll on people. remotelyou are a normal human being, having every exchange in your life be transactional is debilitating in some ways. some people find it enervating. i think bill clinton finds it quite thrilling. >> would go back in a second. >> and lyndon johnson probably did. >> and they were not thriving unless they were doing it. >> and there are people that i would argue that are missing something that the public arena fills. >> it is very different, obviously, with each president. you think of richard nixon, a very private person. though clinton

george bush endorsed the dni in concept 10 days later so this speaks to the tremendous force and the incredible forces that were at play at this particular time. however, we have a lot of members of congress and the two leading individuals of each political party endorsed the 9/11 commission's recommendations nearly immediately. it inspired tremendous bureaucratic opposition and this is really the heart of "blinking red." it is the tale of your craddick power and jockeying for influence really over the 80 billion-dollar intelligence enterprise to be able to control the intelligence assets of the united states. i go through the book three camps that were in opposition to the 9/11 commission recommendations. i will go through them briefly and we will talk about what the entire act means for national security today that these camps are very important because as people try to contemplate where we are 10 years after the 9/11 commission report a lot of people are asking how is the system working and how could we improve it, why did we created and what world are you trying to do at the time

bush and george bush met each other that he was a bit of a carouser. he made that decision to give up all. unmooring if we know whether or not she had a role in the position. >> she said to him famously, it's either me your jim beam. chests that think he realized that a certain point. there was a conversation that george w. had with polygram. billy graham was a guest at his father's compound. in that think that he began talking to billy graham, he began embracing got away that the head of before. that was the threshold of middle-aged. he turned 40 and gave up drinking. when he took got into his heart to beat a think laura bush was extremely supportive of all the decisions that era's been made including embracing christianity >> seem made that decision that he wanted to make a bid for the governor's mansion in taxes. laura bush was concerned because of the twins being very young. ultimately she agreed to support him. what was wars experience like? it seems like she would be embraced easily. >> she was embraced pretty easily. i think in many ways it's a

i think the republican party, george bush and karl rove, lost the senate and house in 2006. who gave them the house in 2010? i think the tea party. and they're holding on the establishment with their fingertips on to the senate, trashing conservatives, making -- sleeping in bed with the u.s. chamber of crony capitalism. >> they're saying now, whether they got their funds, they're saying the hell with you, eat it. >> i don't work for them and they mean nothing to me. if i had my way they're gone. i've seen leaders and worked for leaders, and leaders change evens. leaders affect the future, and they have arguments. they don't stand there and talk with marbles in their mouth, trash their own party and so follower. look, it's a party right now. we need a new republican party. new leaders. i've seen it. i've seen it with reagan and gingrich. there are men and women out there who are waiting in the wings who can lead this party and make a case. but i want to say this because it happens a lot on your

i mean you take george bush, 41, he had a great resume to be president. i mean, everything, war hero, you know, and later leader of the party, vice president, congressman,, un, in ambassador that is like a resume -- >> right. >> he was the first sitting vice president since martin van burr recommend to succeed a sitting president, and actually he said when he won, well, story, marty we broke the curse. >> he is, in fact, the only man to have addressed martin van burburen as marty. >> i think george herbert walker bush in many ways embodies what we are talking about, deeply competitive, his mother expected them to climb all the trees in the yard in grove lane in greenwich and just knew they were supposed to, that was the expectation. >> rose: you could not, not do it. >> you could not, not do it, so he was driven by, at once, this ambition to do well, but then not to talk about it, not talk about himself. so he had these somewhat disinformant traditions, disso informant traditions which is being number one, but if you get to be number one, don't tell anybo

why is the big story not that george bush got nineteen clean debt ceiling increases and nobody raised a peep was not and this is obama raised a peep about it you know obama well railed on the very worst in bali he railed on the senate what about this he said that we shouldn't be doing that was irresponsible no serious you're right but there was no serious effort to impede us patriot act that's right there was you know it was in service of the campaign and. you know i'm not here to to say obama is sharks are water but there was a people is ok so there was a piece but basically george bush got one thousand clean debt ceiling increases and this is the first one obama is go right so why is that why is it out b. why is the story not being told that. frame i don't get it and number three you know this is more kind of inside the beltway but i'm just kind of curious is this the beginning of the end for john boehner speakership. i would suspect that john boehner speakership is limited just because i think he's probably getting tired of it anyway i don't know if this is a political sign i'm not

why is the big story not that george bush got nineteen claimed debt ceiling increases and nobody raised a peep was not and this is obama raised a peep about. you know obama well railed on the very symbolic he rails of the senate what about this he said that we shouldn't be doing that is irresponsible no serious you're right but there was no serious effort to impede us patriot act that's right there was you know it was a series of a certain campaign. you know i'm not here to say obama sharks are water but there was a people is ok so there was a piece but basically george bush got nineteen clean debt ceiling increases and this is the first one obama's go right so why is that why is it up b. why is the story not being told that frame i don't get it and number three you know this is more kind of inside the beltway but i'm just curious is this the beginning of the end for john boehner speakership. i would suspect that john boehner speakership is limited just because i think he's probably getting tired of it anyway i don't know if this is a political sign i'm not even convinced that he's in a

bush. and i say that in this context. we've just seen you all the money from fannie and freddie is back. the tea party started not because of obamacare, not because of barack obama, but because george w. bush bailed out the banks and got ready for the auto industry bailout and that infuriated his base. democrats accepted it. will democrats now say thank you? will any tea party voter in america believe the government is actually going to make a profit on this? >> you can put all the facts and figures and reports but your average american hears "bailout" and all they think is the government putting out money. they never think about the money coming back in. i think that's a really hard case to make even if facts are on your side. >> what's it mean for them? the tea party was more than just bailouts. it was you bail people out, they're supposedly sush lly suc. it hasn't translated down to me. i still don't have a job. >> the great philosopher barney frank had a quote in 2010. he said he wanted a bumper sticker that would hav

there may have been only one thing that george bush and john dingell, like prescott bush and john dingell sr., agreed on. however it was done, the banking system pumps the economy's life's blood and had to be protected. how do economists view banking regulation? we asked economic analyst richard gill. how do economists view banking regulation? with ambivalence. it can be and has been argued that it was deregulation that threw s&ls and and commercial bankservision into disarray. or it can be been argued that the real problem has been government intervention-- raising the level of deposit insurance to $100,000 and thus encouraging high-risk loans and investments. in the final analysis, the real issue isn't so much regulation versus deregulation as it is how to protect depositors without giving a green light to the reckless and imprudent. everybody agrees that a sound economy requires a reliable banking system and that it's the government's job to guarantee that reliability. that's why the government supported the banks after the panic of 1907 and why the bankinsaty net was reinforced in the

jim moore, communications expert, co-author of "bush's brain: how karl rove made george w. bush presidential." john, i'll begin with you. your nominee for worst president ever? >> got to be andrew johnson. i'm not willing to give an inch on this one. and, look, i advocated for some pretty tough action against george w. bush and i certainly have no taste for herbert hoover and some of these other folks, but andrew johnson, who became president of the united states because of the assassination of abraham lincoln, opposed the bureau which was going to allow african-americans to begin to have some sort of economic stake in the country where they had just been released from slavery. he blocked the civil rights act which was to allow african-americans basic citizenship rights. he fought against the 14th amendment which brought african-americans into full citizenship. and he actually vetoed allowing states to enter the united states because they might have tipped the balance in favor of civil rights. >> yeah, we should -- >> he also -- >> the context here is johnson is basically a

you say in your column that he was a genuine, george herbert walker bush, george bush consigliere for a lot of years. >> i think when you look at his curriculum vitae, the facts would tend to indicate that he was involved in intelligence production in the 80's, that served the purposes of a republican administration. he came back a second time in 2006 when george w. bush was facing only two more years of his second term and wanted to sort of salvage iraq for his reputation and to get out in a kind of way that didn't look disastrous. he had to deal with congress. it had flipped and become democratic. bob gates was just the man, as rumsfeld was certainly not the man. >> what is a republican today in your opinion? what is a democrat? >> i think, gates, he is an ideological operative of the permanent regime that exists whether you are a democrat or a republican in the oval office. these people pose as experts on national security or for that matter, like larry summers and some others, they pose as nonpartisan experts on economics and fiscal policy. in reality, they are all deeply ideologi

george bush campaigned unsuccessfully. they got to know each other so well that in these endless hours of riding around west texas talking about their lives really helped their marriage. >> what attracted laura to george? they seem so different in their younger years. herhe always say he made laugh. she said she wanted somebody who would make her laugh. she had grown up as a lonely only child. she did not have a brother or a sister. her mother had miscarriages. she always wanted a sibling. boisterous, cut up in nature. he wanted somebody steady. so by to settle him down. i see that in him still. you never know what is in somebody else's marriage. i was struck when i saw the recently. he said something and she tossed her head back and i giggled and laughed. bond that have that he is funny. >> where the great moments for when she was as the white house for the correspondents dinner i think in 2005 and she took the podium in place of her husband and talked about the fact that he goes to bed at 9:00. and she stayed up to watch

yes, george bush was elected. we're depressed about that. that doesn't mean we can't be buoyant in our music. >> and the flame of idealism was still not put out, which is remarkable. part of the way to get musicians excited about politics is to believe change can happen. i have to ask you this. the last we saw of bob dillon was this last weekend in a chrysler ad. when you talk about believing in the power of change, when you saw dillon do that, what was your response? >> dillon has had an ambivalent relationship around his fame of being a protester. he's at times said he's not a little figure right now. i wasn't particularly surprised about that. the music remains and endures. whatever he conceives of himself now, the music of the 60s will remain forever. >> which musician would you most like to see delivering a message at your candidate's next rally? >> springsteen is pretty powerful. he was great for john kerry and barack obama in 2008. one of the worst moments on the hillary campaign was when arcade fire came out for barack obama. i knew

>> the chairman of the public utility commission, the electric regulator under george bush when george bush was governor and he tells a wonderful story. in 1996, la leaving george bush's office, walking out the door, we like wind. get smart on it. it is the thing that people in california have done and not done very well, and it launches a deliberative polling process. and to learn about the pros and cons about different energy sources. at the end of the session, people come out with wind power because wind is free and it is low and doesn't admit pollution. this helps lay the foundation for the renewable energy mandate jewish bush ultimately signed in 1999. >> quick comment, then one question. the comment is my ex-wife is an environmentalist and has done wind study, bird kills studies in vermont, she has gone to the settlement in vermont. a lot of northeastern states don't want them because what you were talking about seeing them on a mountain ridge is disturbing to many landowners and tourists, tourism being big up there. the question is who is going to take and down? i have heard the

bush levels of popularity. and george bush -- i mean, what is the impact of this man? >> i think that this is contributing to obama's relationship with congress. the way that i see it is obama says that i want to be known for something positive. and he knows it, everybody knows it, the people know it. you can't go anywhere without people complaining about it. but enough that this is for him. lou: is there any way to rationalize his performance is accessible? what would be the success that he would point to on this? >> i think that what they might be saying is if i had congress working with me and not presenting so many hurdles, then i be able to get across my vision. >> i don't know if he considers himself a successful president. i think that he feels castrated on some levels and quite insidious. >> is that some kind of thing going on? >> you can feel that way emotionally. you can feel castrated emotionally and you can feel like this emotionally. and i do believe that obama struggles with some of those feelings. it's to say that, you know what? i'm just going to use th

[laughter] i want to go around the timable. kimberly, start with you. give you your 30-40 second take on your christie deessment dees. >defaults. >> there may be evidence that he knew but again the central question has not been answered. i do think what is significant hair is you're beginning to get a sense of the political risks here on a bigger scale. for christy it's the idea this could go on for months and months and that's what it's beginning to look like. for the other side too the democratic side the risk there's beginning to be a sense of a bit of a pile on and that this might be more politically driven than it is stance driven. >> michael what does it say to you about what came out of the christy camp thichris christiece governor for a good long time. >> you have to admit these are uunsubstantiated. he used his press conference to attack his opponent in t

when he was campaigning in 2007 said that the $4 trillion under the eight years of george bush was unpatriotic. unpatriotic. that's what your president said -- our president said. and when he got into office, he ran up $6.7 trillion in 5 1/2 years and you guys are saying congress' job. you know what congress' job is, to do what's in the best interests of this country. not just to pay the bills. but to say, enough, we need to address the bills. >> let's look ahead and talk about the repercussions of what just happened this week. to me, mo, it seems like without the republican brinksmanship and obstructionism that you guys like to complain about, we kind of just took the wind out of your sails. how will you win another election if you don't have republican obstructionism to blame for obama's failed policy? >> there isn't enough republican obstructionism for us to run. time and time again. they passed it this time only because democrats helped them pass it. not because republicans did. 200 members of the republican house voted no. not one member of the senate voted to increase or pay our bills. >

bush circa 1999, 2000, than george h.w. bush circa 2004 when he was talking about democracy. >> hold on, please. should the united states restrict its humanitarian aid to north korea bearing in mind that humanitarian aid is what keeps their government going? >> if i could make sure two million north korea anxiety were fed by sending them food and it would get to them, i would agree with you. i would do it. i think rich is correct, though. we have a tremendous battle coming in the republican party between those who would like to intervene in syria go, after iran, intervene in ukraine. the rand paul and the pail owe conservative wing, i'm not so sure -- >> this is eeferl we're seeing in north korea thanks to this report. a different level that far out stripped anything we -- we have been covering this issue for years. >> mort is right. there are only a limited number of ways you can tighten the screws. i would not tightant screws further on the people by withholding humanitarian aid. >> did the people get the food? they get s

george bush endorsed the dni in concept 10 days later so this speaks to the tremendous force and the incredible forces that were at play at this particular time. however, we have a lot of members of congress and the two leading individuals of each political party endorsed the 9/11 commission's recommendations nearly immediately. it inspired tremendous bureaucratic opposition and this is really the heart of "blinking red." it is the tale of your craddick power and jockeying for influence really over the 80 billion-dollar intelligence enterprise to be able to control the intelligence assets of the united states. i go through the book three camps that were in opposition to the 9/11 commission recommendations. i will go through them briefly and we will talk about what the entire act means for national security today that these camps are very important because as people try to contemplate where we are 10 years after the 9/11 commission report a lot of people are asking how is the system working and how could we improve it, why did we created and what world are you trying to do at the time

president obama once mocked everything george bush said. now he's reduced to majorizing it just to fill the gaps in his ever shrinking legagy. his one new idea was one which seems he was so familiar, he stumbled on it like an old man would stumble on a downhill cobblestone street. that was his proposal for something called a m.y.r.a. more letters than the government alphabetical suit, helping individuals set up an individual retirement account. i was ready for him to promise us, if you like your nest egg, you can keep your nest egg. one had to wonder if this was his version of the conservative concept of a allowing americans to have more personal empowerment in how they plan for retirement. surely, he wouldn't propose something that would entrust decisions to mere citizens? surely he knows how popular government-run health care is, how much we trust him to get to the bottom of the irs scandal in which this behemoth federal crime syndicate punishing its enemies or how much we believe four americans in benghazi is because islamist extremists

i was surprised that george h.w. bush was not a bigger reader. i was priced that ronald reagan was more of a reader than people thought. secretary came to him one time and saw that he was reading a serious book and said can we put this out there? no, i do not think we need to do that. host: all right. our next call comes from bethlehem, pennsylvania. on the line for democrats. caller: i would like to mention howthey are talking about presidents alter the history. organizations like fox news are always showing ronald reagan saying tear down the wall. that statement was made one year after the election. wall came down in 1990, when mr. bush was president. look it up. today -- that did not happen. this is what happens all the time. altering the fact. they give very much. guest: i do not think that is an alteration of fact. he did say tear down this wall. under his successor, the wall did come down. they do not think there is any implication that that should make -- that said, iconic images are very important. berline the images in where john f. kenn
