authoritarian tendencies of donald trump. i was thinking about that piece when trump endorsed j.d. vance in ohio and the gop senate there. vance who was a trump or, who said in 2016, that he thought trump was exploiting racism, they re gonna says it all. yeah, he is just one of the people that has made this journey under trump, think of kevin mccarthy, who read before trump got the nomination, was the one that said he thinks putin is paying trump, and then he ended up voting in favor trump. we need to have to take this person out a call of trump seriously. it is extraordinary what he managed to do in an open society with an open media and bring this party to heal, and have it be his personal tool. those text from lee and others is also a leader colt. i see generous six as a leader cole rescue operation. look how far we have fallen. trump could welcome back him to
i m afraid i don t know. well, the word blowhard is on the record. there was a book written, the last republicans, and president bush did say that on the record, that he thought trump was a blowhard. look, donald trump is 180 from who george h.w. bush is. but inviting him to the funeral is not a surprise because this is about respect for the office. absolutely. bernie, you heard colin powell talk about george h.w. bush as a president, as an international leader, as somebody who believed in treaties and believed in international order. and he was he didn t say the word trump, but he was clearly contrasting president george h.w. bush with trump. there are a lot of differences beyond the foreign policy realm. bush was democracy s president for the world. on his tour. given what happened, the implosion of the soviet union,

2004 republican convention in new york. and he was so proud, as far away as he was sitting from where i was speaking, i saw him smiling when i was talking because he was so proud of me. he was just really great. you know, he came out to california during my governorship and visited me with his pals. i remember he came through with the trains, through sacramento. and they had lunch there. we always stayed in touch. even in the last few years, i went to visit him in texas all the time and had lunch with him and barbara. barbara, of course, i tell you, i mean, what an extraordinary woman she was. and what a great couple. how great they were together. they were funny to hang out with together. great sense of humor. and as you know, she always spoke her mind. she did. so i had really great times always with them. president trump and president h.w. bush certainly have very different or had very different approaches to public life. president bush didn t end up in
