George W. Bush

I didn't agree with everything that he'd done, but I was pretty much for a lot of things that he was doing.

And then when Bush was elected, I was pretty happy about that.

I didn't want to caucus in.

And I was very thoroughly unhappy when President Clinton got into office.

Well, that pretty well matches my...

I wasn't very happy with George Bush toward the end of his term.

And I feel in a way I may have contributed to the election of Bill Clinton.

I don't know.

You know, everybody loves the Donkey Kong one.

With Pacino, but how about George Bush and Al Pacino going through the McDonald's drive-through? Oh.

Uh, yes, I'd like a, uh-

Just get the eggs.

[laughs] The, the reason I love that is we just were giving him absurd scenarios.

Yes.

Hey, you're at a McDonald's drive-through, and it's George Bush and Al Pacino.

Right.

And Baker points out, Gerard Baker points out that this is very similar to what happened in 1992.

The economy was actually gearing up, beginning to really move, and yet George W. Bush wa- or, I'm sorry, George Herbert Walker Bush was flayed by Bill Clinton on the grounds that, as Baker pointed out, the, the, uh, comment that it's the economy, stupid, that he was too stupid to argue about the right things and that Bill Clinton just had to keep beating the drum that the economy was in the tank.

And in fact, the opposite was actually ultimately true as the data was continuing to come in showing that the economy was growing, inflation was under control, et cetera.

With that said, we've got the same problem going on, and you look at the data from inflation, uh, prices, gasoline prices even, uh, unemployment rates, full employment rates, either direction you wanna look at it, all the signs are moving in the right direction and have been quite good for the last two years, and yet, uh, President Trump's approval rating's in the tank, which is also pulling down Republicans across the ballot.

...

George Bush.

It, uh, you can't get fooled again.

You, you just can't get fooled again, okay? Um, but, uh, it, it's just- I wanna believe it.

Mind you, would this have been right going from Margaret Thatcher

and George Bush into Secret Love?

Now that's a thought, isn't it?

Had they have had the album with those political figures on it, then it would have been something that certainly would have dated it and made it a statement of its time.

We have such a passion, right, for making sure that our democracy continues through discourse.

But, like, the fangirl, right, excited part of, right? So Mary Kate is the former White House speechwriter for Daddy Bush.

I lovingly refer to him as Daddy Bursh- Bush.

[laughs]

Um, most folks refer to him as, uh, President, uh, George H.W. Bush.

The coolest thing ever, right?

[laughs]

Um, she's a former columnist at US News, uh, and World Report, and a longtime political commentator, uh, appearing weekly alongside a progressive analyst on Canada's largest news network, CTV.

There's all these like black and white photos.

cast pictures but just in like street clothes but always just like Turtlenecks and whatever and it always threw me because Michael Dorn doesn't look like a Klingon Dukakis When you say Dukakis, I do like that name quite a bit but Michael Dukakis was the guy that ran against George Bush senior in the 90s and lost and that's when I hear that name that's who I think of and I like that name Dukakis

Yeah, which is funny because I was listening to a bunch of podcasts today and I feel like, I don't know if they were both Conan, but he was going into like all these presidents and like this was this person, this person did this and...

I don't know if it was that or if it was another one I was listening to and Dukakis came up on that and said exactly that.

Um, the, the, uh, the Lincoln of course has gone home, as we were talking about, um, which I think puts the George Washington on station in the kind of theater of operations right now.

The George W. Bush is just put into Thailand for a, for, for, for a bit of, um, [chuckles] a bit of time on shore, um, which I'm sure the sailors are enjoying.

Here's my question.

They, there's been, we saw the Roosevelt b- putting to sea.

Ernie and I were extremely honored to today be in Washington to have a few moments with the President of the United States, George Bush, and to be honored by the Michigan Congressional Delegation and the Senate Office Building.
