>> i don't think obama's but george w. bush reminds me of a warning call. it's a lot like dwight eisenhower when he give his fare well address. bush is warning our country what happens when you think what is friendly nationalism suddenly turns into a kind of malignant, you know, nativism. and that speech is going to live for a long time. and already we saw steve bannon, last evening, squaring off on george w. bush, saying you are one of the most disastrous presidents in american history. so george w. bush, who's wanted to stay out of politics, now finds himself a bull's-eye of the bannon alt right movement. >> i wonder if one has to believe he had a level of expectation of that. because whenever anyone comes out, even when they were, you know, went into political office, maybe especially when they went in political office if they speak against this president or is critical, then, you know, there's an unleashing so to speak of unleashing on that individual. >> well, there is. that's one of the reasons you know george w. bush said i want out of washington. hi

>> i want to begin with george w. bush with nicole. a lot of talk about george w. bush today. yamiche said many people were talking act how george bush ran a racially divisive white house over eight years. and i do have to set this up for people who aren't aware of it. you're very aware of it. we had some really tough conversation about it. i was really hard on george w. bush. in fact, a friend asked me to come to an event of his in alabama and the white house said if you're there, then bush won't be there. i mean, it was -- the animosity was pretty strong. so when i say what i'm about to say, i think it's earned. george w. bush, he reauthorized the voting rights act early when a lot of republicans didn't want him to do it. >> with no internal debate. none. >> with no internal debate. there was no debate for george w. bush as there were with many republicans on this. he started his 2004 convention even though it may have been unpopular with a benediction from a muslim imam. he also if you ask bob geldoff and bono, not republicans, who did more to save lives in africa, what pre

george bush, every time there was a problem in the obama presidency, obama blamed bush, he blamed the poor guy for eight years, and george bush was such a gentlemen, he never opened his mouth. the first time george bush opens his mouth, who does he come out against? donald trump! he doesn't come out against barack obama who trashed him and blamed him for all things wrong in the world. that is an agenda of the elitist against the populist. donald trump was elected by us because we want him to change things. bush did nothing, obama did nothing for the economy, obama did nothing for african-americans. what we see in the economy now with donald trump is exactly what he promised. he's getting rid of regulations, jobs are up, the economy is going through the roof. we're going to have tax reform. this is what we want. >> that is what people voted for, exactly. and just one thing, i want to ask you about, some people said, well, of course, george w. bush is going to attack president trump because of the way he went after jeb bush in the primaries, all personal. >> you know what? grow up! ther

[ audience boos ] that's a piece of work, and john mccain. [ audience boos ] >> he embarrassed himself, wrote a high falutin' speech. it was clear he didn't know what he was talking about. he has no earthly idea whether he was come org going, just like it was when he was president of the united states. i want to apologize up front to any of the bush folks outside, in this audience, okay? because there has not been a more destructive presidency than george bush's. john mccain, his service in the united states navy say pride to every naval officer. how he handled himself. and how john mccain has handled himself with this horrible disease he has and the class that his wife and his daughter have shown, the whole family. and his two sons who serve in the marine corps. john mccain deser

bush, bill clinton, george h.w. bush and jimmy carter. they will reunite at texas a&m university for a hurricane relief convert to benefit victims in texas, florida, and the caribbean. this comes after days after obama and the younger bush blasted the current state of politics under president trump, breaking the code of silence that former presidents normally maintain. and particular, it was the comments by bush warning against bigotry that left trump's former chief strategist, steve bannon, to deliver a blistering attack on bush and call for a republican revolt. >> president trump to me embarrassed himself. speech writer wrote a high pha fluten speech. it's clear he didn't understand anything he was talking about. he has no earthly idea whether he's coming or going. just like it was when he was president of the united states. there's not been a more destructive presidency than george bush's. >> well, steven sanchez joins us live from the white house and boris, do we know if the president was aware bannon was going to say those things? >>

this is -- george bush didn't srot for donald trump last november. he feels very strongly that he doesn't have the temperament to be president or the with us dom i think. i don't want to speculate about what george w. bush thinks privately. but i do know yesterday to this point about general can kelly, it was absolutely moving. was that obama went off script and made an aside about how he had repeatedly gone to walter reed and consoled wounded warriors and started talking about wounded warriors. that was not in the script. both obama and bush, and i know this from reporting and talking to people close to them, were upset is and offended when trump said monday they didn't console family, they didn't call gold star families for bush who feels just such a weight of responsibility for taking us into both afghanistan and iraq. i think that was offensive and clearly it irked obama because he brought it up. >> very quickly before we go to break, did this kelly speech, remarks, have is any impact on the discussions in the senate on thursday night? >> to be h

and that's what happened in miami when george bush came down i mean what was going on in miami when george bush who was the vice president came down to miami was the cubans the xcel cubans who had been in charge of the drug trade through miami since the bay of pigs were being brushed aside by colombians. and that was that was that was that what that war was all about when time magazine was bringing its famous cover you know saying you know about miami it's a crime zone we're zone that was what was going on yeah they did it very famously in the film scarface by the montana or you go by the colombians but now so when it comes to very silly there's an interesting allegation that i recall and you know within your book about how seal himself was instrumental in helping to actually organize the media and cartel. created the met in cartel i mean a very famous grand jury petrochemical who i'm sure maybe it was in. j.f.k. even told me that. in order for the cia didn't want to work with fifteen different drug lords operating in all. so a barry seal well that i'm all in one unit i'm sure he had help

george w. bush has never attacked president obama. he had not attacked president trump until today when his speech seemed to be about the president who once said there were very fine people at a white supremacist rally. >> our identity as a nation unlike many other nations is not determined by geography or ethnicity. by soil or blood. this means that people of every race, religion, ethnicity can be fully and equally american. it means that bigotry or white supremacy in any form is blasphemy against the american creed.

and george w. bush stantszs on opposite sides of that struggle. that was a troud that favored the steve bannon view of the word but there are plenty of republicans who believe that bannon's message is not as good as the bush sort of mccain call it reagan, paul ryan, mitch mcconnell idea of a traditional republican policy built on an america that promoting a liberal world order, droppiemocracy and things republican party has stood for since world war ii. the it's easy to say given the election of president trump that the ban non side is winning. they certainly won the most recent battle, but this fight not just inside the republican party but around the country and the world, let's remember, is very much ongoing. what we saw the speeches of john mccain and george bush last week and whatever you think of their records, and for sure, both of their records are mixed on these issues, but their message was clear, that this about thele of ideas for not just the identity of the republican party but the identity of america, that that battle needs to be fou

president george h.w. bush did it for president clinton after the '92 re-election defeat. the relationship between the two has been described as a father-son relationship today. and then it was president obama, who left a letter to trump, and then there was that jovial picture of the two. who can forget that? so is there a likelihood that even after all the criticisms and downright insulting, you know, remarks about president obama, might we ever see a potential repeat of that laughing moment between, you know, a trump and an obama? >> i think you're right, fred, that door is open because there really is no job like the presidency. and so it really is this exclusive club where only these men can really know what holding that office is like and what that shared experience is like, but president trump has not shown a great deal of eagerness to connect with these former presidents, according to the reports we've seen out of the white house, he hasn't really reached out to these former presidents asking for advice, asking for help in the way that former presidents have done to

he was the only official white house photographer for george w. bush. and erick's work he's also worked as a staff photographer for the seattle times and the pasade pasadena tribune. and it's of particularly noteworthy because of the incredible vantage point he had had covering 9/11 right out of the white house. then we've also got daryl hawks who was a stringer for upi, associated press and was particularly important from our standpoint as a photographer covering the carter administration because carter strangely enough never really had had an official white house photographer. and so the press, the photo gejournalists have th images we would have normally gotten through a white house photographer. then lucian perkins, a pulitzer prize winner. and he's a proud graduate of the university of texas at austin by the way. but he was for 27 years a staff photographer for the washington post. he won the pulitzer prize for covering three generations of poverty in washington d.c. and also the refugee situation in kosovo. then we also have the question of david

george bush was almost mute during the entire time that president obama was out there. there's this idea they want to have the sanctity of the office respected. the other thing that's interesting here when we talk about their legacy, we have to talk about fact that george bush still has a problematic legacy. there's a lot of african-americans angry about how he handled hurricane katrina and we're in the war in iraq. >> war on drugs. >> and then you have president obama who is the predecessor of trump who some people see not doing enough to prevent a president trump from coming into office. you have these presidents thinking about their own lives and their -- how they could have contributing to president trump becoming the leader of the country. >> really good point. they're trying to form that place in history as history moves forward. what does this say about history that we have two presidents on the same day criticizing the current president and it's not been done before. >> they are concerned about the direction of the country and where things could be going since t

to presidents jimmy carter, george h.w. bush, bill clinton, george w. bush, and barack obama, melania and i want to express or deep gratitude for your tremendous assistance. >> reporter: a message of unity and gratitude from president trump there, but it's no secret, there's no love lost between president trump and the bushes or the clintons or barack obama. we do know tonight we will see all five living presidents, four of them will address the crowd in short remarks i'm told will focus on volunteerism, president george h.w. bush no longer speaks publicly, as you know, but it definitely will be a rare sight. >> thank you both so much. >>> i want to bring in our panel to discuss all of this. we have "the washington post" political reporter eugene scott, and deputy managing editor of "the weekly standard" kelly jane torrance. thank you for coming on. it seems pretty remarkable that a crowd at a republican convention about as loyal and establishment as you can get would be booing a former republican president. is the republican party at war with itself? w

presidency than george bush's. julie: what it means in the gop fight between the establishment and insurgents. accusing north korea's nuclear aim will be a hot topic. in china, the key to the crisis next. >> china is helping us. 93% of the things going into north korea come from china. china is big stuff. i've been thinking. about thinking. i mean, think of all the things that think these days. thinking planes. thinking cars. thinking phones. businesses are thinking. factories are thinking. distribution plants are thinking. plant plants are thinking. even your toaster is thinking. honey, clive owen's in our kitchen. i'm leaving. oh never mind, he's leaving. there's so much thinking. even this thing is thinking. is this thing thinking? this thing is thinking! business are up to their necks in knowledge. let me illustrate that for you. scratch that, terrible idea. but what if a business could turn all that thinking... endless thinking. into doing. to make better decisions. make a difference. make the future. make all

when i hear george w. bush, and i, too, have joined the george w. bush -- hugging george w. bush t-shirt. >> i'll send over t-shirts this afternoon. you can all wear them next time. >> i think even if it isn't quite being heard in that way, that it's actually really important for his voice to be out there because otherwise people who need some place to go, have no place to go. >> here's obama a few moments ago talking about a similar topic. the division in our politics. let's watch. >> some of the politics we see now, we thought we put that to bed. i mean, that's folks looking 50 years back. it's the 21st century. not the 19th century. >> well, first off, you have to acknowledge that being -- not being -- being a former president is like being benjamin button. they all look younger the farther they get away from the presidency. obama looked great. why is it so much easier for presidents obama and bush to sort of speak truth to that angry base, speak truth to power, understand they're not facing election but it would seem to me unpatriotic not to say what presidents obama and

that from george w. bush in a rare public speech. we'll play you his reminders for america and the white house he once occupied. let's get to it. sarah sanders set to speak in less than a minute and we're waiting to hear from the white house on a variety of topics, including ambush of troops in niger and the fallout. what happened? we don't know. why were that there? we don't know. john mccain says the white house has not been forth coming about details of the ambush. let's listen to sarah sanders now. >> good afternoon. as you all saw earlier today, the president met with the governor of puerto rico this morning to discuss the ongoing hurricane recovery efforts. the administration is working tirelessly to help our fellow citizens recover and rebuild. we'll stand with them throughout this process. it's been awhile since i've had an opportunity to share a letter to the president from the podium and i have one today that i think you'll all enjoy. this is from mackenzie of dalton, georgia. mackenzie is 7 years old and in the second grad

i want to play a little more from president george w. bush today. there's been an anti-bullying campaign, there's talk about tolerance. as we just showed. that is something that what everyone thinks of policy, this former president bush did seem to care about in office and cares about today. take a listen. >> our young people need positive role models. bullying and prejudice in our public life sets a national tone. provides permission for cruelty and bigotry. and compromises the moral education of children. >> bill, your view, the same question, the power of all this today. >> i think george w. bush, his audience was, intends his audience to be republicans basically who voted for him twice, who respect him and we're now hearing from the former president that they voted for and respect, some basic rules of what a decent politics looks like and he doesn't name donald trump. he lets his viewers and the people who read the speech put it together for themselves. i really hope, actually, republicans listen to george w. bush. other people have tried to say

as you said we don't often hear from president george wfrmts bush. he's kept a low profile as past presidents have. he's allowed president obama to have his eight years with very little, if any, interference from him. he often would not speak. we are at this unique time right now in our country's history where the words that he just spoke right now are being felt minute by minute, not only by the institutions that are under attack, whether it is washington or the media or other institutions, but it's also everybody at this point. what i thought was really telling, is a couple things he said. one, he talked about the need for the united states to continue to be the leader -- the world leader in democracy. he talked about how presidents for 70 years, this wasn't a partisan or political issue this was what the destiny was for the united states. the free religion, right to express one'sself freely, a fair and transparent media, some strong words right now coming from president bush. >> also, i mean, not mentionsing names as far as i heard anything in wha

bannon dijo que no ha habido una presidencia destructiva que la de george bush, que no sabÍa lo que estaba diciendo o haciendo. hubo republicanos que abiertamente nuestro grande acuerdo con sus palabras. >> obviamente, hay aquellos que lo encuentran beneficioso, pero la gran mayorÍa de republicanos no lo encuentran asÍ. escalante: mientras manu hablaba de su postura y criticaba los republicanos, incluso en el congreso por no apoyar a la medida del presidente, en las afueras, grupo de personas protestaba por su presencia. >> donald trump lo tirÓ de la casa blanca, pero no hay ninguna manera de dudar que lo que bannon ha hecho. escalante: bannon tambiÉn cuestionÓ la decisión de california que declarase estado santuario. dijo que en 10 o 15 aÑos abren un intento de separar de california del resto del paÍs, liderado por las Élites de la tecnologÍa de sillicon valley. >> los intereses de california de la tecnologÍa, bÁsicamente no estÁn de acuerdo en la manera que Él representa el paÍs. >> la comisiÓn se realizó en california, un estado demÓcrata. >> al bueno republicanos que

i was a campaign guide for george bush and mitt romney and rick perry. you say his so—called polls have him at 32%. he is still higher than you profession, the media, and congress. i think he is doing pretty good. with my point, especially with george w bush and what he said about bigotry right now in america seeming emboldened, are you worried about what you have seen from the white house and what the tone of donald trump's america is? i am not worried about it. my mother and father came here from italy, legally, of course. immigrants made this country great and that will continue. but they must come across into our country legally a man not illegally. and thatis legally a man not illegally. and that is the whole question of the fight that is going on. it is great. let them keep coming into our country, but legally. sheriffjoe arpaio, thank you very much for coming onto hardtalk we have to leave it there. thank you. hello again. tuesday saw quite a range of temperatures across the uk. even though there was a lot of cloud in the south—east and east a

because there's not been a more destructive presidency than george bush's. >> yeah. steve bannon letting loose there. let's discuss. with us now, republican strategist author of gop gps and cnn political commentator and former governor of south carolina. pretty scathing words, you heard them from steve bannon. saying there's never been a nor destructive presidency than george w. bush's, questioning his intelligence, at a republican party event. let's start with you, andre, what's your reaction to us? >> there's no love lost. i'm one of these republicans who believes you fight, but you do it behind closed doors. i'd rather see us not air our laundry and who can't get along out in the news media. but it's going to happen. and, you know, i hope we'll continue to forge forward. the republican party is experiencing growing pains right now. you've got a party that's continuing to grow whether you look at the governorship throughout the country or house and senate. and they're going to grow in '18. so, you're going to have different factions, some that are more conservative

care about black people because george bush wasn't doing enough to help out with katrina. they were trying to set up the same dynamic for president trump. to say president trump doesn't care about people of color speak. >> armstrong williams: oh. >> he went to florida, he went to texas, but he doesn't care about puerto rico. because they aren't his kind of people.>> armstrong williams: they're not brown people. >> they wanted to play the race card. when in fact, he waved the jones act for 10 days, and it wasn't like there were a whole bunch of ships lined up. >> armstrong williams: the ships aren't regulated? >> they aren't regulated and there aren't safe. there are number pieces to this argument. without the usa maritime industry, it cost $65 billion for the united states to replicate the job that they especially during wartime. we went to war in iraq, and afghanistan, we had to ship lots of things over to the middle east. we didn't ship them on u.s. navy ships, we ship them on commercial vessels that are part of the usa maritime fleet. we want those to be usl owned, usa

. >>> what i want to talk about five former presidents, carter, george h.w. bush, george w. bush, bill clinton and barack obama. teaming up tomorrow. guess who won't be joining them? the current occupant of the white house. here to discuss cnn presidential historian, douglas brinkley, julia kiam and alice stewart. hello, everyone, welcome to the program. good evening. doug, tomorrow, all five living former presidents, both bushes, clinton, carter and obama coming together to raise funds, hurricane victims. it's called the one america, one appeal concert. it will be held in texas. president trump was not invited to participate. why do you think that is? >> it's going to be amazing tomorrow. they are calling it deep in the heart of texas at the reed arena at texas a&m. it's at the george herbert walker library, which is on campus there. all these presidents go to each others' libraries. it sold out, 11,000 people. they're all friends. all five of those presidents at this stage, they are not friendly to donald trump. he would be either grandstand or take over the event. i'm not

reporter: i also have a question about the george w. bush speech. are you saying the white house is no longer saying the congressman talked about the funding? she just talked about legislation in general? ms. sanders: i specifically said and will repeat it again general , kelly said he was stunned she made the comments about herself. that was the point of what he said. that was what took place here yesterday and we still stand by , those comments. reporter: on the george w. bush speech, he said when bigotry is emboldened, our policies seem more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and fabrication. does president trump agree? does he agree with the assessment of what? reporter: that bigotry seems emboldened and our politics seem more emboldened to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication. those were president bush's words. ms. sanders: i think if everybody is pushing fabricated things, most people would think that is coming from the news media and i would agree with that sentiment. reporter: the president signed an executive order today that appears

he's saying george w. bush has been the most detrustructivedes. some say the president he worked for is the most destructive. >> i think we have more americans at each other's throats and being angry at one another than we've ever had. what bannon is doing is he's saying here are the problems. he's finding real problems. people are frustrated about the economy but giving scapegoats. it's the establishment who is to blame. they are turning as kevin said in the national review yesterday, he's turning people in the conservative movement against people for being smart or successful and saying that's not something you want to be. that's very dangerous no matter where you do it. >> it's the old bumper sticker messaging, if you will. when you look at this, does the energy that bannon does bring on the right, does it worry some on the left that he will be able to peel away some voters? some saying he's not. he's just reenforcing what they have, the 38 or 37%. >> i don't know if there's a real worry from a political perspective from the left. i think there

she also covered the reagan administration, and george h.w. bush. david valdez and diana walker are actively involved in our program. they both belong to our advisory council here at the briscoe center. >> what do you hope viewers will take away after watching these interviews? dr. carleton: the importance of photojournalists and news photographers, documentary photographers, they go by various names. they self identify in different ways. they are all photographers. but the value of their work, not only for the news, illustrating the news, but also as historical evidence these photographs , capture and document an amazing array of extremely important processes and events and personalities. so i hope the public appreciates the work that they do. they see their work every day on television and newspapers and so forth. i hope that they would do more than just appreciate the photograph but appreciate the photographers themselves. >> don carleton is the executive director of the university of texas at austin's dolph briscoe center for american history. t

george w. bush, and barack obama, no red states, no blue states. the united states. you see a mainstream of politics a little bit cal leadership who truce to unite people. what donald trump has tried to do is disregard that by intentionally doing poll texas by division. >> and one thing to be said, it worked. these are grand statement pweus man of significant mettle and impact. will it change the minds of anybody who supports the president? you have to believe the answer is no. last night we saw a very different take on the politics of today and how it should be regarded by speaker paul ryan who has been certainly quiet in critical moments. not last night. it was the al smith dinner. he was getting his jokes on. >> i know last year that donald trump offended some people. i know his comments, according to chris, went too far. some said it was unbecoming of a public figure. and they said that his comments were offensive. well, thank god he's learned his lesson. every morning i wake up and troll twitter to see what tweets i will are have is to pretend i didn't see later

bush. and there would be no rush or gate without hillary clinton and this week saw the queen of the b. and c's favorite accusation come back to bite or as the hill reported that according to sources as part of an investigation into alleged russian bribery for control of u.s. uranium stockpiles the f.b.i. has eyewitness accounts and documentation indicating russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the u.s. designed to benefit to the u.s. designed to benefit former president bill clinton's charitable foundation during the time secretary of state hillary clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to moscow. some oh so the claim. they have been involved in russian atomic energy meddling. if you listen real closely you just might hear the breaking hearts of joy and read representative adam schiff and bill kristol get her break now and start watching the hawks. you know that i got. welcome ready to watching the. tyro's tour and joining me today in t.

george bush is the establishment. donald trump has gone after him. barack obama went after him for everything. but bush said, quewell i expect that, they're the other side. but this is my party. that's why he standed up to fight. >> i agree with rick, he's standing up for the heart and soul of the republican party. but deeper than that, he's fighting for the soul of this country. we're at a place now, where you hear this nationalist refrain, blood and soil, that's what the country is about. which is a euphemism about this is a country about race, about our blood and other things. that's not what america is about. america is about most principally the inherent liberty for all. and to have these former presidents break that code and decide to come out and speak to reaffirm those truths, the truths upon which our entire country again is based, is absolutely crucial, not only for the party, and i agree with rick said, but also for the country. >> it's a troubling trajectory that the republican party is on. right now the republican party is the party of r

bush administration for that disastrous, botched response, george w. bush's fema director who appeared to be appointed to that job more as a patronage hire rather than his qualifications, he was fired a week after that bod broadcast we just showed you. as 2005 rolled into 2006, that's when the investigations started into what went wrong t. white house did its own internal investigation t. senate did its own investigation. but in the house, there were some interesting things there. the house got their investigation, their report from the investigation. they got it out first. which may it the most influential. the federal government reviews what went wrong. they were first. it had an interesting origin story. in the house, there was a big partisan fight over the way that investigation would be approached. the house wanted it to be a special select committee involving members of both parties, they rejected the way the republican majority was rejecting it. house democrats decided that no democratic members of congress would participate on a formal level. t
