juan williams brought up the writing of the notes. what condoleezza rice talked about was how george hw bush found it important to make friends around the world. he got to know them and he would send them notes and ask about their grandchildren. and keep in touch. he did that because when he needed them to rally around him and building a coalition, they would always take the call, show up and help america and a lot of that had to do with personal diplomacy and passed that on, a good lesson for all of us to remember, he used to say don't ever let your first call to somebody be when you ask for something. that is a lesson i took away from him. >> reporter: it is something you savor. it is such an old-fashioned beautiful courtesy and a special thing that takes a moment of your time that will change someone's life and touch them that you would do something so personal. live with me in new york, you worked for more than one bush administration and overseeing personnel for president bush 41 row back. your thoughts tonight. >> my heart is br

starting now, here's juan williams on the trump administration's policies on civil rights. [ applause ] >> good evening. welcome to the center for thought and culture. i'm kelley girod, program consultant. i am particularly excited to be presenting this evening's event with juan williams as his work has been incredibly influential in my life. as a college student, juan williams' "eyes on the prize" changed my life by exposing me to the complete history of america's struggle towards equality, a history i simply didn't get exposed to in my majority white high school. mr. williams' latest book "what the hell do you have to lose, trump's war on civil rights" is equally compelling. it reminds us of the hard-won civil rights catalog in "eyes on the prize" and reveals the daily threat to those civil rights under our current administration and the very specific voting, educational, housing, employment and public accommodation policy that turned those threats into action. lastly, it calls us, all americans, to be vigilant. juan williams currently serves as co-host of fox news channel's "the fi

we are back with juan williams, the author of "what the hell do you have to lose? trumps war on civil rights." >> thank you. >> the title refers to comments president trump made during the 2016 campaign. let's listen to what he said. e said. rejection, horrible education, no housing, no homes, no ownership, crime at levels nobody has seen. you can go to war zones in countries we are fighting and it is safer than living in some of our later cities that are run by the democrats. i ask you this -- i ask you this. crime, all of the problems. to the african-americans who i employ so many, so many people. to the hispanics, tremendous people. what the hell do you have to lose? give me a chance. i will straighten it out. i will straighten it out. host: so, what made you choose that, what the hell do we have to lose, for the title of your book? guest: i thought it was such a condescending statement. the president is 72, i'm 64. we have lived to such amazing change in american society with regard to that essential problem of race, in my lifetime in his lifetime. in the book,

jason riley, columnist and juan williams. gentlemen, i want to thank you for being here first of all. first i want to get back to what we have been watching all week, karl rove who marched up close today as he proceedings for george h.w. bush were playing out. a quick thought on that? >> it was incredible and moving service at saint martins presided. that trip from spring texas to gwent on the railroad tracks, the train line was lined by people with flags. patriotic symbols, handmade signs of 41 hanging off of houses. and then to be welcomed by the students of texas a&m and to be interned to that beautiful drove by the lake adjacent to the library, a fitting and come my private ceremony at the gravesite. a fitting and great celebration of an extraordinary life. >> martha: it has been really stunning and i think just a great life for all of us to reflect on over the course of this week. let me turn out to the question of the next attorney general, maybe somebody who was picked before by the 41st president. juan williams, do yo

bush and juan williams joining us now. one, i want to start with you because we talked about the bipartisan appeal of president george h w bush in the fact tha he worked across the aisle. pr was somebody willing to compromise to get things done. you're thoughts on him tonight? >> the emotion flows out of me because i was a white house correspondent during the reagan years and one of my jobs was to travel around the country with george w. bush, especially in that 84 cycle when president reagan was up for reelection. as you heard, they want particularly close, but george w bush was a great great emissary for the reagan administration because he had been head of the republican national committee. so he knew people all across th country and every state he coul tell me names of people in an unbelievable fashion. he was just incredible and we would sit together and i remember one thing he told me shannon was that i should write notes to people. pe five and te notes ten notes a day out of habit just to stay in touch with people.

let's go to juan williams standing by, juan, co-host of "the five" and fox news analyst, juan, your thoughts as you watched the members of congress, mitch mcconnell, paul ryan take their moment and speak to the family of george h.w. bush. >> it just stands out to me, martha, this is a moment when we are americans. we are one family and we are grieving. this crosses the aisle in a way that i think george h.w. bush practiced as a politician. certainly during his presidency but even on an international basis, if you recall the tremendous coalition that he put together when we had to go to war to get saddam hussein out of kuwait, again, he was a team builder. a person who would identify mission and then seek solution, compromise, and to me when i heard the reminder that it's almost 30 years since he gave his inaugural address that was going back to january of 1989 and spoke about speaking to us, the american people from the nation's front porch by the u.s. capitol, i was reminded that he was a friend to so many people. that he treated people with such dignity and grace and on a personal level, a

and juan williams is here. >> welcome. >> thank you. kennedy: charlie, you are in tc, what stood out. >> remarkable, everyone talking about hw's humility. and important of a moment you bring a divided nation together. it was possible only way, this is not only true about hw, but his son w . politicians was not their entire lives, we saw that today in the service and the stories. you know, they cared about politics, they cared about what they needed to do in politics. but they had lives to live, families they loved. they had things they loved to do, he loved to fish, and hunt, outside of this kind of nasty world of politics, because of that, it of the very easy for them to then, walk off the stage and extend an olive branch to political enemies. it was easier. i wish more politicians would sort of take the role of politics, sort of kind of sequester it to that one thing that it is important. absolutely employe but there soh more important things, and george h.w. bush was a monument to that. kennedy: it was beautiful, i like we showed ala
