iran contras as vice president. iran contras as vice president. amy: we say iran contras, if you could expand on that, especially for young people who don't understand what this was? >> iran-contras was a scandal that involved selling high-tech weaponry to iran, diverting the provost is for the anti-communist countries in the corolla. amy: in violation of u.s. law. >> but also in my gesture to limit it suggegest -- supportetd the worst kind of death squad, assassins and fascists in central america throughout the 1980's, and bush was deeply involved in that as vice president and coming out of it, having his work with the cia. bush had a longistory of violence in the third world as a way of establishing himself, which obviously continued with the first gulf war. juan: and a key part of that contras, once bush becomes president, he pardons all of the people who were involved with it. >> when he is leaving. one cut when he is leaving as vice president. >> christmas eve, he pardoned six. the independent prosecutor says this completes the cover-up of ir

i don't know if it could happen at the grander scale of iran-contra. i mean, i absolutely have seen many iran-contras happen where usually my client's suspected of doing something they shouldn't be doing as a case officer, wherever it might be, but again, those were caught by the agencies, whether they were right or wrong as to whether my client was engaged in something. there was -- i was involved with the able danger issues back already, what, a dozen, 15 years ago, which was not a major controversy in that type of situation, but when it became known and able danger was this data mining operation that d.o.d. and some of the intel agencies were doing and i guess controversial depending on what view you have of it, but there were aspects where, when we had congressional hearings on it, that agencies weren't sure of how they were reacting to one another, and there started to be allegations that individual intelligence officers were off on their own, doing certain operations that they weren't, and then they would, of course, say, well, they had been auth

i have seen many iran contras happen. .. to be suspected of doing something. >> so those were cut by the agencies. which was not a major controversy in that type of situation, but when they became known, able danger was his operation that dod and some of the intel agencies were doing, and get controversial depending on what you have of it, but there were aspects where, when we had congressional hearings wn it, that agencies were not sure how they were reacting to one another and there started the allegations that individuall intelligence officers were off on their own doing certain operations that the word and they would say they been authorized by so-and-so, whether it was put down in writing or not. it was one of these things where now we look back a dozen years later and we talked to some of the people who were the superiors we said at authorized it and who t i denied it then bt now they're out of government service, they will have a beer with us and say yeah, yeah, actually i remember telling you it was okay to do. so th

. >> bush is on the stump, dogged by questions about his role in the iran-contra scandal. he can run for president. but he can't hide. >> it was by no means a certainty that george bush was going to be the nominee. >> please go to the caucuses and vote. let me get out of the way so you can make a buck here. >> he had the residual and the cancerous debilitating effect of the iran-contra affair. >> what we decided to do is i would become the most knowledgeable person possible about his involvement, and i would be the only person to talk about it. the campaign wouldn't talk about it, only i would talk about it. and that's the way we operated. >> just weeks before the iowa caucus, bush gets a phone call from cbs news anchor dan rather. >> george bush announced to us he agreed to do this interview. we begin to get calls that rather's operation has shut down everything except his preparation for the interview with george bush and that all the focus is on iran-contra, all of it. >> george bush and craig fuller have been traveling out of town and now make their way back to washing

the iran-contra committees. there is a lot of unique personalities at that time. with the nsa and congress. >> i have lost control here. >> the iran-contra affair the oversight mechanism was built up and then with the council i don't think it could happen again. that the country learned lessons and congress learned lessons. but one thing about the iran-contra committee that the 26 members. [laughter] there was a unanimity and a consensus then to keep into perspective of the well-intentioned policy rules. and this was on a bipartisan basis when i got mad at us. [laughter] now everyone retreats to their corner. >> you think something significant can't happen again quick. >> i think it can. i don't know that grand of scale. i absolutely have seen to be suspected of doing something. >> so those were cut by the agencies. but with those 15 years ago that was not a major controversy in that type of situation. but when it came known with those intel agencies were doing and what you really have of it. there were aspects

mark z: not at the grander scale of the iran-contra. and then to be suspected of doing something they should not be doing as the case officer wherever they may be. those were caught by the agencies. whether they were right or wrong as to whether my client was engaged in something. it was not a major controversy in that type of situation but when it became known that it was a data mining . and otherhat d.o.d agencies were doing it controversial depending on what view you have of it. when wee were aspects had congressional hearings on it that agencies were not sure of how they were reacting to one another and there started to be that individual intelligence officers were off on their own doing certain operations, than they would of course say what they had been authorized by so-and-so. whether it was put down in writing or not. it was one of those things where now we look back a dozen years later and we talk to some of the people who were the superiors who we said had authorized and had denied it then but now they are out of government se

but these are different times and -- >> talk about his role in part in stemming from the iran- contra. >> pardons are not always controversial but every president seems to have controversy. build -- bill clinton had his under eric holder involving mark rich. there is no question at the end of his term, president bush pardoned i think it was 5 or 6 people related to the iran- contra scandal. most notably, the secretary of defense. it was known he had spoken to bill barr about them and it was surprising he did not speak about exactly what role bill barr had. that will be a privileged communication remaining between the two of them. >> one more reaction from a member of the committee. democrat from oregon saying i must answer questions about whether donald trump demanded his loyalty or extracted promises about constraining robert mueller's investigation as a condition of being nominated. a failure to answer those questions will be disqualifying he says. >> is up to senators to answer what is qualifying or disqualifying. i have no doubt he will answer that question and no doubt -- no prom

could another iran-contra affair happen today even with all the oversight? [laughter] >> here we go again. i had the job to be the liaison between cia and the iran-contra communities. so there were a lot of unique personalities in the executive branch at that time at the agency and in congress. [laughter] now i have lost control. [laughter] but i would just say that with the iran-contra affair since then the oversight mechanisms have been built up since that time in the inspector general with the cia general counsel. i don't think it could happen again. the country learned lessons and commerce learned lessons. it's hard to say i'm nostalgic but with the joint committee , 26 members. [laughter] the house and senate republicans and democrats. but to try to keep in perspective with that well-intentioned policy rules. so in those days not done as a bipartisan basis. [laughter] that now everybody just retreats to their corner. >> so you think that can't happen again. >> not at the grander scale of the iran-contra. and then to be suspected of doing something they

watergate, the iran-contra matter, quieted down. i had told the truth. i don't remember when i began to make a specific agenda. brian: go back to when you started your presidency. you had all the other jobs. you watched this office. did you feel any different? pres. bush: yeah. i knew i would not complain about the loneliness of the job. if they knew the burden on my shoulders, they would be more i am aloneng -- here, i can't turn to anybody. malarkey.bunch of one withssed from day a team of experts that knew more than i did. i was blessed on the economic side with a very smart group of people. if you have confidence in someone else and you are going all of this board stuff is not gone forever, but it is partially produced. there, i walked in knew what my team was going to be. at least i was prepared for the magnitude of the job. if i had never been close, maybe it would have been even more awesome. i remember taking a picture with my mother in the office. me, there was some kind of symbolism to that. she had taught me a lot about values. brian: one of t

it diminishes the credibility of the presidency. >> that guaranteed bringing iran contra to the top of the news for the last four days of the campaign. >> wounded, bush lashes out. >> being attacked on character by governor clinton is like being called ugly by a frog. don't worry about it. >> good morning. george bush, bill clinton, ross perot. americans go to the polls and select a president today. election day. november 3rd, 1992. >> oh, boy. nervous. as anyone would be in that situation. everyone was. >> there are a number of very close races in the south. indeed we expect a great deal of drama in this region throughout the evening. >> i was scared. thinking the difference in my life between us winning and losing. >> most of the polls are now closed in north dakota and in the senate race there. >> we were in houston, which was where president bush liked to celebrate election nights. >> let's look at the national numbers now so far. >> they had us wait way down, like 15 points down. >> electoral map is look lopsided in favor of bill clinton. >> and the afternoon wave wasn't much bett

then i started asking him about this iran-contra business. he said frank are we going to talk about anything else? it wasn't a very pleasant moment for him. after that, he was annoyed by the whole process and canceled all his other interviews between then and election day, because he said i just want to go out and campaign and talk to the people and not these annoying journalists. but for all of that, jim, he understood the give and take. he respected it. i interviewed him later for a documentary i was doing for the history channel on ronald reagan. he was unbelievably present and revealing about his time with reagan. that was sort of the way we did business at the time. >> it's a good point because you bring up going back many presidents before him, john f. kennedy, folks. they complained about press coverage, didn't get asked the questions that they wanted. but what was different? because you said that even in those difficult moments, like the interview, the final interview you had with him as president, a sense of goodwill remained. >> alw

the iran contra episode tarnished his second term. and he was slow to recognize the terrible toll of the aids crisis. of course, people are still debating whether his economic policies are paying dividends. but what to me is notable about his life is that so many people admired the man and his style of leadership. why is that? i would like to just make a few of my own observations. one was his relatively nonpartisan style compared to the divisions that we have seen since. even though democrats profoundly disagreed with his conservative policies, the two sides often reached across the aisle to consult experts and to compromise. ronald reagan never lost sight of the fact that for american government to work, it had to be a collaborative effort where people with opposing viewpoints were heard and respected. he never questioned anyone's patriotism. he never vilified his opponents or disparaged someone's looks or background. ronald reagan believed in honest government. he and the democratic speaker of the house, tip o'neill, fought like ca

that's why the cases were thrown out in the iran-contra investigation. congress gave immunity, and they were prosecuted. here, he's pled guilty, so he could be a witness, and i think mueller would have a harder time objecting. >> i want to get a quick break in. we'll continue this conversation because it is an important one. i want to see what everybody makes of something we touched on briefly, that change in tone about michael cohen from the president from staunchly defending him immediately after the raid to what he's saying now. >>> later, an update on the massive earthquake that has done damage in alaska. we'll bring you there live. we'll be right back. after walking six miles at an amusement park, bill's back needed a vacation from his vacation. so he stepped on the dr. scholl's kiosk. it recommends our best custom fit orthotic to relieve foot, knee, or lower back pain so you can move more. dr. scholl's. born to move. little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats moderate to severe plaque

the revelations of the iran contra affair gave new momentum to the work of the peace activists. evidence showed that the weapons were coming from the largest pentagon arms depot on the west coast california's concord naval weapons station. and i went out just to check out the situation. and discovered that on one side of the road. were literally hundreds of bloggers with all these weapons. there's a train track from these bunkers that came out and crossed the highway and then went out to the pier is where these balls were loaded on to the ships. we had a press conference in which that are in store planning to start a forty day fast. of our hearts conscience is what we were doing and why my son was there he is fourteen years old. brian and duncan murphy and david duncan. placed themselves on the tracks. automat brain. jane not a pretty sure thing you know we just go out there and we stand and then the train slows down and stops. said a couple of people lost the road and went over to the front gate of the no one to the station inform them that we were getting walk in and there was

the iran-contra thing. the matter was resolved to the satisfaction of the american people. but i would not have said, if i had been there, i would not have done this. you cannot do this and live with yourself in terms of loyalty and character. brian: who taught you loyalty? pres. bush: my mom and dad. brian: who taught them loyalty? where does it come from? pres. bush: in those days, people were not afraid to teach values in the school. i don't know they got it from school or their family. but they had values. the values were not always just, you know, tell the truth, but don't brag about yourself. values like be kind to people. help someone when he is hurt. values like give the other guy credit. those serve me well when i was president. brian: were you surprised, in the recent book about ronald reagan, the comment about "they did not invite us upstairs" got such attention? pres. bush: i never made such a comment. if you look at the archives, you will see the number of times barbara and i were upstairs. he did not have to invite us to do that. we were upstairs many, many ti

bush never engaged with what his role was or what was going on with iran contra. so i asked about both those things and he was furious. and at one point said, are we going to talk about anything else? and when he was done with that interview, it was, you know, respectful and all of that. >> yeah. >> but he did no more interviews. cancelled the other interviews after that. so it was not all sweetness and nice. >> you and dan rather, right, on that same subject. but let me say, george h.w. bush, like all presidents, things happen to them and it's not their fault and it gets bad press. for instance, he met gorbachev in the mediterranean during what was like a hurricane. and then went to japan, sat next to the prime minister, he had the flu and he threw up over the prime minister. and who can forget right after saddam hussein's invasion of kuwait? he was in denver with other leaders of the world, and margaret thatcher, the prime minister of britain, publicly said, now, george, don't go wobbly. he didn't go wobbly. and a few weeks later, it wasn't because of that, she
