bush presidential center in dallas texas. this is one hour and 20 minutes. >> what was your initial reaction the first time your husband said, i think i am going to run for president? >> i cannot remember exactly what my initial reaction was. i think it was a little bit slower than saying, all of a sudden, i am going to run for president. he was governor. he had been governor for one term and reelected. slowly, i think we both started talking about it. he talked about it and other people were talking to him about it. and i knew what it was like. i knew already what it would be like to run for president. i knew what it would be like to live in the white house. george and i had an advantage that only one other family has had so far, the john quincy adams family, we have seen somebody we loved in that office and we visited them very often. we lived in washington, in fact, in 1986, or 1987, rather, to work on resident bush's -- president bush's campaign. they still had time to benefit -- to babysit barbara and jenna on saturday n

back in 1960, this texas ranger memorandum says you expressed guilt to the texas rangers about killing irene garza. is this true? do you ever have trouble sleeping at night? can you just answer that question? the mcallen police and texas rangers believe you killed irene garza. are you worried about that, sir? are you concerned? feit would not answer our questions, but when we interviewed him five years ago, feit had more to say. >> did you commit the murder of irene garza? >> interesting question. the answer is no. >> he also told us what he thought of dale tacheny, the former monk who says feit admitted murdering irene. >> he says you committed the murder. >> i think he's demented. >> what about the priest, father o'brien. he says you committed the murder too and he knew you very well. [ speaking latin ] >> what does that mean, sir? >> look it up. >> he was speaking latin with a reference to the late father o'brien. it means "do not speak ill of the dead." now 80 years old, feit has done volunteer work at this local catholic food bank. >> i don't care what type of person he's become n

they have two regulatory agencies in texas. the primary agency is the texas commission on environmental quality. this is an agency that has commissioners appointed by the governor of texas rick perry, who has made it publicly known he would like to dismantle the epa. his attorney general has sued the epa war than a dozen times. times. than a dozen the folks in texas feel they are somewhat disenfranchised and have very few people who are on their side who can champion their cause. these are truly -- that the little people trying to fight government and trying to fight big business. >> the kind of flaring off of the gas -- i saw this in nigeria in the niger delta. at the time it wasn't even allowed in the united states. watching your video, the people complaining of feeling like an elephant is on their chest as they breathe in the soot from this flame. this is the area the size of massachusetts? >> yes, very nearly the size of massachusetts. >> so what happens now? even if you will not allow fracking on your own property, everyon

a mysterious death in texas. negative, one knows why alfred wright died or how the physical therapist and father of three ended up dead in the texas underbrush. now the justice department is keeping an eye on the investigation by texas rangers. what is more, the local district attorney was asked to remove himself from the case because of his close relationship with the sheriff and suggestions the sheriff may know more than he is saying about the death of alfred wright. >> the sun was just going down when alfred wright pulled into this liquor store on a long quiet stretch of route 87 in east texas, not far from the louisiana border. the 28-year-old physical therapist was on his way to see a patient when his unreliable pickup truck broke down again. his wife lauren, who was home with their two young sons, immediately sent alfred's parents to get him. >> the last time i called him, i just heard heavy breathing. he was in distress of some sort. he was not responding to anything that i was saying. >> his parents were

then there's a big texas oil. they are apoplectic because john kennedy is talking about repealing the oil to pollution allowance. oil depletion allowance is a sweetheart tax break that texas right wing millionaire, billionaire oilman are receiving. by the way, still in place today yet to be repealed. but it will cost the texas oilman hundreds of millions of dollars in additional federal taxes. and who has been the water carrier in washington for the oil depletion allowance in the u.s. senate? that would be senator lyndon johnson, vice president lyndon johnson. now, everyone involved in this plot has their own motive. the caa is upset about the bay of pigs. the bay of pigs invasion in which president kennedy has failed to order air support for the cuban rebels storming the shores of cuba. hundreds of men are arrested. hundreds more are killed. it's a fiasco. they are also upset about the cuban missile crisis. i know you can go to this bookstore and you'll find books that tell you how brave jack kennedy face the rus

vember 22, 1963, a president of the united states of america decided to come to texas and while in texas the president was assassinated. the honorable john f. kennedy lost his life in my home state. i was born in louisiana but texas is my home state at this time. and when he lost his life, the country went into mourning. it was a sad day for this country, to have a president assassinated. and this country found that it was necessary to move forward, however. and another person became president and that of course was the honorable lyndon johnson who was from the state of texas. and it was lyndon johnson who on july 2, 1964, signed the civil rights act. now, this civil rights act of 1964 is one that brought great benefits to persons of my generation. because it dealt with public accommodations and it integrated or desegregated blic accommodations, hotels, restaurants, places that we frequent now and we take for granted the opportunity to go into these places. in my lifetime we could not enter the front door of places that we now take for granted that these things have always been this way,

>> well, in terms of texas, i'm not sure. romney won texas by 16 points which is more than mccain won it by in every statewide office there is republican. so i don't know that texas is in trouble any time soon. but his broader point, i think he is spot on. republicans improved their share of the vote in 2008 and 2012 among men, whites and voters. he even won the independent vote. it isn't turning out more of the base. it is expanding the appeal of the party. >> let's give a sense of the demographic change. in 1992, for example, i think we have the date. a 87% of the electorate was white. by 2012, that had gone down to, i think it is, 72%. now in texas it was not quite as big a drop but it was 73%. in 2008 it was down to 63%. or so you're seeing the magnitudes of that dem fwrafk change. there are some people in the republican party who say we don't need to worry about getting the hispanic vote, for example. we can get a bigger share of the white vote. is that possible? >> well, like i said, the republicans have been improving

and only greg abbott will keep texas free, will keep texas texas. my friend, greg abbott. my blood brother. >> well, thank you, ted nugent, a fighter for freedom in this country. >> joining me now, a texan and author and contributing writer for "the new york times" magazine, robert draper. well, robert, first, let me start -- before we get into wendy davis. >> sure. zoo you're a texans, and you wrote it in this way, you said texan are very proud, and expect texas-based campaigns. are either davis or abbott running a texas-based campaign yet? >> not a very competent one, that's for sure. for one thing, i guess greg abbott can be excused for basically, you know, playing very much the front-runner. this is an unforced error, this business of wedding himself to -- >> and prompted -- now two biggest endorsers are ted nugent and sarah palin. is that really -- >> no, this is a guy -- he's not facing primary opposition, you know, to speak of, so he could be playing towards the center. this is who greg abbott is, a very, very conservative guy, much more so than rick perry, but he's

the petrochemical industry was what built the state of texas which is why texas is still the powerhouse economically that it is. and it really is rooted in this industry in this region. >> by 1923, port arthur was home to the large he felt oil refinery complex in the world. the city was bustling. but the historian says the people that made their money off the oil business no longer live here. >> what is different today is that a lot of the old money that was here at the time spindle top that was here in the '20s, proximate tour street was movie theaters and department stores, and very fancy expensive hotels and now because of technology, many of the people that work in the high positions in the petroleum industry don't have to live here in order to do their jobs. >> these days downtown port arthur is a ghost of its former self. the unemployment rate is nearly 16%. more than twice the national average. the signs of economic depression are everywhere. but residents say the town is worth saving. >> port arthur is not a bad place. it's not a bad place to grow up. it's not a bad place actual

i have heard from numerous community bankers in texas, madam speaker, i am from dallas, texas, and proud to say that dallas, texas, is home to community bankers who understand that they are on the frontlines of new -- a new regulatory regime. and not just community bankers, all bankers and those covered under financial services regulations. accounts of the inpadget -- impacts stemming from the new cfpb rules are startling. specifically they have told me that the cfpb's new regulations regarding qualified mortgages will significantly increase borrowing costs and considerably reduce the number of available mortgages. sounds familiar, doesn't it? sounds like something that the democrats concocted to make sure that health care was in trouble so they could show up with the answer of the affordable care act, which is implied in its name. they are doing exactly to financial services what the democrats did to health care in this country. and bankers and financial services industry understands this. in a time when americans are looking to the federal government simply to promote an increased publ

texas, it is west texas. is the kind of place you can see from miles away. 30 milesrs like oz, away. it is very wide and flat in big sky. her father was a builder and her mother was a homemaker. her mother came from texas. her mother had managed a dairy farm. when her grandfather was away. it was a place of who she was. and gave her a sense of strength about the land and the prairie and doing for yourself. i remember going there the first time, people talking about crying. she says she will for western pennsylvania having been educated. her husband so we are going to move out there and make our fortune in oil. she said, what is it like? there is a town and called no trees. bush says she remembers, from the supermarket with tumbleweeds. she had no idea how to get to her house. it is very harsh and for bidding and in that way. you have to have a special appreciation. that made her tough. a loveer book, it is letter to midland, texas. so much a part of her. she talks about the sky. and she usedther to look up at

[ speaking latin ] >> what does that mean, sir? >> look it up. >> he was speaking latin with a reference to the late father o'brien. it means "do not speak ill of the dead." now 80 years old, feit has done volunteer work at this local catholic food bank. >> i don't care what type of person he's become now

this is in texas right it is exercise tort reform so the maximum lawsuit that you can sue in texas for medical but there it is two hundred fifty thousand dollars that i know nothing for this hospital but they were going in one of them and they got her name and i know that attorneys can be overly cautious but i think this case is an anomaly i think now that we've had hopefully the worst case scenario texas can go back and say you know what we shouldn't borrow another state's language when we weren't sure what it meant and let's rewrite it in a way that's reasonable for everybody if a woman is declared brain dead obviously this would not apply and you know even the catholic church would say it ain't dead she's dead and that there's no more moral obligation and that's their doctrine i mean that is what the catholic church service and i think you know there's two very clear things i think we want to cleave apart here and one is that was this a catholic hospital you know does it and i don't think it whirls i don't think so yeah. there's two separate things here one is the pro-life side whic

candidate for republican governor of texas in a tea party leader in texas. >>> ben ferguson cnn political commentator and conservative radio show host. thanks very much to both of you. let's just talk about ed lavandera for a moment. our reporter and i don't know if you could see the picture there, ben, but we asked craig abbott and his nose goes in the air and he is looking at anybody but ed lavandera. how is it so hard to say, i'm not going to be with that guy again and what that person said was horrific. why is this that hard to say. you said it last night on this show, ben. >> well, i think you're in an awkward situation where you ask a guy to come out with you. you invite him and then a video comes out of something in the past that you didn't know was out there and then all of a sudden you're stuck in this awkward situation. if i was him i would say, look, knowing what he said now, probably wouldn't have done this. >> probably? >> i wouldn't have done it. let's just go there. he is a great guy on the second amendment, that's why i was having him around on that. people know him for th

they see the diversity in texas, the changing face in texas. it's possible for a fair-minded democrat like a wendy davis to build a coalition and have a majority. the way that they see themselves holding power is to stop that coalition from being built. and they do that by, again, trying to motivate the most narrow minded and mean spirited people within their party. they see that as how they hold power going forward. the second thing is that i believe that greg abbott actually enjoys going on stage with somebody like greg abbott. i think for whatever reason, he gets some type of visceral thrill out of hanging out with somebody who is as a divisive and hateful as ted nugent. >> nugent, of course, is also friends with rick perry, the current governor. that hasn't stood in the way of rick perry becoming a national figure or winning numerous election in the state of texas. finally, matt, you know, there's been reporting about the wendy davis campaign, wendy davis gave an interview in which she said she would appear to back a hypothetical bill that
