Cy Ar because the media is editing him properly now. Trump is edited poorly to make him sound like a moron. I like neither of them but don't underestimate the ability of the media to make people out to be something or someone there not
It's just you, I won't forget what he did domestically and internationally. He comes on TV to sell a book of his crappy paintings, he's as dumb as ever.
As a democrat, I may not have agreed with his policies, he may not have been the "smartest" from an academic standpoint, but you know what, he's seems like a decent, good guy. I don't see any hatred or malice in his heart. He's humble and not arrogant - compare that to who we have now....
That is a nice sentiment. And that is something I always saw in president Bush. IDK where you were politically when he was in office, but the attacks and platitudes were quite high back then as well. Even now with President Trump, we need to be able to voice our disagreements with his policies, his actions but in the same hand be able to see these men who serve as President as human beings
+NonyaBusiness! This is what I am talking about. Drop the hyperbolic attitude, reliance on platitudes and see both the good and the bad. Everyone of those comments are biased, slanderous and does not get us to the place in this nation where we need to be. A place where we can respectfully disagree with someones opinion and not result to name calling to stop and intelligent debate. 1. Many of the women's accounts were discredited by witness' and the outcry stopped once the election was over. (ergo, hint of political games men ship). Also if he raped a 13 yr old, he would be in jail. You dont buy your way out of pedophilia. 2. That was an economic issue and not a race issue. He has renters from every nationality all over the world in his tower. 3. Xenophobia doesn't explain his relationship with Japan. And you add sex in that comment where he started a task force with Canada on how to raise women up through society. 4. You realize that no one can ascribe who is behind this, he has denounced those who do this in his name and most importantly there are antisemitic groups on the left basing out of a Pro Palestine movement. I am in no way saying he is the holiest, perfect person/politician. I just ask we drop the hyperbole, that there is two sides to each story, and just because you like/hate someone always question the validity of what you read and do your own research.
Bush was a goddamn hero on the African continent. He's got one hell of a black stain on his record with Iraq, but there are millions alive right now thanks to his policies and initiatives. The good should not wipe out the bad, nor the bad the good.
The public has woken to the media. Matt Lauer, said nothing to "Power being addictive", there being "no independent media" in the corporate sector and preemptive war.
Unlocking Freedom Not in the scheme of ideological subversion going on in America right now by filthy, greedy, rich Globalists funneling money to all these organizations, corporations and institutions creating unrest. You know, Hollywood and BLM nonsense, Berkeley College and Antifa lunatics, and then, Netflix and Cuties etc.🤔🙄
K. M. - and corrosive. Very very telling. I think he knows he got caught up in the dark side of power and realizes it now and is doing what he can to make amends with his creator. I like the fact he said "freedom to practice any religion they want to - or NO religion". That was awesome.
Carlos Tineo Under Obama's presidency two FISA requests were made last year to investigate Trump and his campaign staff. The Liberal NYT reported that they received wired tap info from an undisclosed source. Accusation of the Russians hacking the elections was a cover-up for Obama's mishandling of wired taps of the Trump campaign.
While I didn't like him as the president he definitely has the right idea when it comes to the media. It's crucial that we have different takes on politics and the world in general.
When the media makes up fake news and lies about Trump, he has every right to call them out. He also has every right to ban CNN from his news conferences. Look at all the false accusers CNN aired against Trump during the election. They put these women on air to accuse Trump with zero proof.
Except the Fact that the only fake news (or "alternative facts") out there is coming from the Trump administration and banning news outlets like CNN and NYTimes ect. is literally censorship. Also nice little swipe at the end there, to prove that you're not only a moron, but a misogynist to boot.
MATT TURD ... LOL FUNNY WHEN I WAS PRESIDENT YOU MATTERED A LOT MORE!! WELL SAID MR BUSH. THANKS TO RUclips WE CAN GET THE TRUTH WITHOUT YOUR HATE. THERE ARE SO MANY MORE HONEST SOURCES.
Izzy G The main stream news is losing influence and credibility because they're retarded. If CNN were not white hating extreme leftists that defend BLM at all costs then no one would hate them and seek other news sources that are actually reliable and not biased. Same thing for fox. People don't take fox seriously anymore because they're extremely right wing. Therefore they have biased ideas.
*"A press that is free to investigate and criticize the government is absolutely essential in a nation that practices self-government and is therefore dependent on an educated and enlightened citizenry."* -- Thomas Jefferson
David Rock: I think you're under the false impression that the press wasn't dirty in the past. When the press consisted of one town newspaper, there was corruption o' plenty.
No, but he has proposed a ban on certain media outlets and newspapers from being able to attend press conferences and is considering criminalizing the use of anonymous sources.
Firstly, it has nothing to do with 'inviting' people to press gaggles. Journalists are never invited to press conferences; they show up out of obligation and because its their job. Trump only wants to accept people who like him and will ask him soft questions (i.e. Brietbart and Fox), which is incredibly unhealthy for democracy and it makes Trump look like a weak leader. On the contrary, it would make Trump look like a strong leader if he let in the people who hate him because it shows that he's not afraid to take flack from them. Plus, it will give him the opportunity to shut down any unreasonable questions from biased journalists, and he can put them in their place (on live TV no less, where the whole world can see their humiliation). So, why not take advantage of that opportunity?
Childhood Obesity & Soda I was thinking the exact same thing. Absolutely right. Think he's calmed down some but will stick to his agenda. I believe he does want to unify the country. Tough task ahead of him and all of us.
Daisy Cocoa I concur never knew he and his father belong to the skull and bones society they like little boys it seems.Also was n the CIA yes he was a Spook.He did very guestionable shit.I guess if u got the money u can do what u want
Chris Connor I think the same. Also with helping in Africa, I think he's trying to offset the Karma. He created untold pain and suffering because of all of his wars that he rushed into.
one day you'll realize you are the experiment, as of this moment to them you are a success and everything they'd hope to gain from your years of government programming. I won't even question what the frig experiment needed to happen, that crosses sanity when Iraq is one of ump teen thousand so called experiments...
Thats too bad. If you can get the Iraq mistake out of your head, you can find a lot of pluses he did, like being the president who has done more for the AIDS epidemic in Africa than all other presidents combined, or how he saved our economy by going against his party and signing the bail out, etc...
@Stark Face, so I guess we should just bash the guy and forget everything else he did during his tenure? How about the Sarbanes Oxley law (A law Obama refuses to use cause of lobbyists)? Shall I mention other people who have made mistakes during their time in office? I can guarantee it will be both sides of the aisle... Shall we discuss Clinton's deregulation's and subsequent creation of the 08' housing crisis? Don't deny the truth, and don;t deny that Trump is attempting to do the same thing...
TheAlonism Look at you show your brilliance, assuming I'm unaware of the Democratic parties mistakes, or that I am one. all in attempt to protect a man's legecy blindly because u associate yourself with one party. a party which is clear to see based on the way you point the finger elsewhere when that isn't even the person we were talking about.
@Stark Face, I make NO mention of my opinions of political parties... Just pointing out that people make mistakes, and people do positives, and when you focus on one aspect of their tenure, you miss out on all the other things they have done. When you chose to follow specific parts of ones tenure, you are not researching or learning. There for, you are continuing the closed mindedness that party politics contributes to the world... So feel free to make mentions of things that do not exist... I believe the term is "Alternative Facts"...
Thank you President Bush for all that you continually do for America and the world. I miss him and Laura Bush in the White House. President Bush has great principles, leadership, and compassion.
I feel kinda bad for him, he came there to talk about his book and got bombarded with questions. He gave very eloquent and thought provoking answers so kudos to him. I admit to not supporting him when he was in office but really respect him as a person.
GWBush can be SO eloquent, surprising as he is infamous for his accent and English dialect (shout outs Texas). We love him for his family demeanor and obvious loving disposition. I never hated Bush, and after visiting his library here in DFW it is totally obvious that he is a smart, wholesome man.
Every one of the last handful of presidents before Trump has used a travel ban and by law, they have the right to. (Including Obama who also used a travel ban). Only an idiot would support an immigration policy that doesn't consider any dangers of terrorism. Yet this is considered a step backwards because we're being paranoid. Upholding the law isn't all there is to it. Before the new immigration policies came along, the original law included the right to deny immigration for the safety of the American citizens (with good reasons of course). Immigrants are always welcome. As long as they come through legal means. It's funny how people talk about upholding the LAW LAW LAW when they love and condone the breaking of the law. I'm not talking about you though, but this whole debate is nonsensical.
It always intrigues me, as a Brit, that when it comes to US presidents; you can't help but admire or appreciate previous presidents. That seems to be a running theme no matter the political divide.
He answers all of the interviewers questions, and finally starts talking about why he came onto the program and then BAM! They cut him off, lol. He agreed to be on the show and answer questions so he could they would help him promote his book.
At the time he was president, I was lambasted quite frequently because I would voice how I loved president Bush. That even though I disagreed with some of his policies, I thought him to be a very good man. And now, in 2021 you listen to him and kinda wish we now had someone like him in office compared to what we have had to deal with in the white house in recent years. Where people go wrong as it pertains to the president is backing a president at all costs. And that's never been more evident than with both Trump and now Biden. What I mean is that it's ok to vote for a president that you can sometimes disagree with on certain things, as well as being able to agree with things for a president you didn't vote for. For example, 'Never Trumpers' and 'always Trumpers'..never Trumpers' will blindly disagree with EVERYTHING that trump says or does..even though he may say or do something you may have otherwise agreed with. Same with always trumpers..they will back him no matter what the cost, even if it may be something you would otherwise disagree with on any other occasion. That outlook on politics makes the country VERY divisive and dangerous. And that has carried over to the Biden presidency. Back when Bush was president, republicans both in washington and regular citizens didn't just blindly back everything Bush said or did, and democrats didn't always disagree. That's the way politics should be done in our country. You don't always have to agree or disagree blindly to what presidents say or do, whether you voted for him/her or not. We are living in dangerous times..and we need to change and come together as a nation. It's ok to agree or disagree with politicians regardless of who you voted for.
I'm appalled the editing would cut off one of our former presidents who is trying to bring awareness to such an important issue. Makes me question why he was invited on the Today show.
very important fact Busch said Independent Media is very important and I agree with that it is as long as it is independent now that is what I choose Independent Media not CNN not CNBC not BBC
We're only divided when we're fighting ourselves.. Look at post 9/11, those weeks following was the unity. During, and shortly after WW1/WW2, we were united.
I feel so bad that he got such a bad rap when he was in office. He speaks so many truths here. I’m not a republican or a Democrat, but I could get behind this man, because he’s telling the truth here.
well i think the popular vote is to think bush was a bad president but he also managed really well with the arab nations on the rise, a scale up of global terrorism and other global crisis.... bush did well
you can kind of tell he was holding back speaking badly about Trump/ disapproving his policies. Whether you like Trump or not that's not the discussion, but it's obvious he had that look of having more to say but holding back.
Taylor Beckett it's true. He probably realizes that ANY disapproval (which the anchor was totally trying to get out of him) would result in a headline describing his "lack of respect for President Trump." These guys can't answer questions straight, since the questions are slanted from the beginning
Wow, i'm actually liking this dude. I expected him to put down Trump in every way especially on NBC but he his a deep thinker and patient at most. Respect.
So, America, even as a foreigner, I remember what you all said about George W. What do you currently think of him, now that you have a new standard for President?
This is what being an American should be. George Bush supporting our current President Trump. Good man bush is. I knew there was more to this strong leader than meets the eye. Thank you President Bush!!!
This is what you call fake news... Bush doesn't "talk Trump".... They try to make this all against President Trump... This video should say Matt Lauer baits ex-president Bush with questions about President Trump...Thanks Mr. Bush for not falling for it and for President Trump for holding the media to account.
They should ask these questions. satan trump is trying to destroy every basic belief (freedom of press, the right to question people in authority), we as Americans hold dear......so he (satan trump) can make a buck for one of his businesses.
Andre Jenkins: The only issue I have with your comment is... well... EVERYTHING! That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard! You use the name "satan" yet President Trump has literally been fighting for the Christian. He has opened the eyes of Americans with the lies of the media and turning back the respect that officials (police for example) that they deserve in while Obama had destroyed. This is what a AMERICANS hold dear, and President Trump is on the right path.
Is it just me or somehow he sounds so articulate now!?
It can happen when your ears have been conditioned to ring-around-the-rosies circus talk for the past several months.
Cy Ar because the media is editing him properly now. Trump is edited poorly to make him sound like a moron. I like neither of them but don't underestimate the ability of the media to make people out to be something or someone there not
He's was articulate until became President....he played US
Cy Ar he's an educated individual, who occasionally had a lack of articulation. I'm sure he's a lot less stressed out these days.
It's just you, I won't forget what he did domestically and internationally. He comes on TV to sell a book of his crappy paintings, he's as dumb as ever.
As a democrat, I may not have agreed with his policies, he may not have been the "smartest" from an academic standpoint, but you know what, he's seems like a decent, good guy. I don't see any hatred or malice in his heart. He's humble and not arrogant - compare that to who we have now....

The reason Bush is helping vets, is because he put them through agony, to pay back a vendetta for his father to get Sadam H. In Iraq.
I may not align with bush politically but he is a good whole hearted and accepting man. He may not of been a great president but he is a great man.
He created those vets. It's the least he can do.
2 words. Iraq War.

I feel like Bush's paintings are a meditation on some serious guilt that he is dealing with the best that he can

yes, Putin and Trump would both agree Bush is a murderer
You make yourself sound like brain damaged, naive, illiterate, and dishonest put together
no see, since Bush is not in power, the media isn't soundbiting him now, like they did when he was president and like they do now for trump.

He answers all of the interviewers questions, and finally starts talking about why he came onto the program and then BAM! They cut him off, lol. He agreed to be on the show and answer questions so he could they would help him promote his book.
i miss him during this coronavirus crisis.
Oh happy days... when George W. said "you mattered more," I almost spit out my La Croix... Bravo Mr. Bush.
He's a criminal
Damnit enough questions.... I'm here to sell my book!
I love him and his entire family.
Way to cut the video of this interview short. Thanks alot NBC
The person in this video is so different from the Bush we saw as president. I get the feeling that this Bush would make a great president.
President Bush had us in the best economic period which is one of the reasons I like him.
At the time he was president, I was lambasted quite frequently because I would voice how I loved president Bush. That even though I disagreed with some of his policies, I thought him to be a very good man. And now, in 2021 you listen to him and kinda wish we now had someone like him in office compared to what we have had to deal with in the white house in recent years. Where people go wrong as it pertains to the president is backing a president at all costs. And that's never been more evident than with both Trump and now Biden. What I mean is that it's ok to vote for a president that you can sometimes disagree with on certain things, as well as being able to agree with things for a president you didn't vote for. For example, 'Never Trumpers' and 'always Trumpers'..never Trumpers' will blindly disagree with EVERYTHING that trump says or does..even though he may say or do something you may have otherwise agreed with. Same with always trumpers..they will back him no matter what the cost, even if it may be something you would otherwise disagree with on any other occasion. That outlook on politics makes the country VERY divisive and dangerous. And that has carried over to the Biden presidency. Back when Bush was president, republicans both in washington and regular citizens didn't just blindly back everything Bush said or did, and democrats didn't always disagree. That's the way politics should be done in our country. You don't always have to agree or disagree blindly to what presidents say or do, whether you voted for him/her or not. We are living in dangerous times..and we need to change and come together as a nation. It's ok to agree or disagree with politicians regardless of who you voted for.
Absolutely.
I have to say that this is the quality I had hoped to see during his presidency.
That abrupt "transition" at the end had me dying lol
I'm appalled the editing would cut off one of our former presidents who is trying to bring awareness to such an important issue. Makes me question why he was invited on the Today show.
"We gotta help them transition, from uhh..."
Yes, Mr President, we do need to help the Today show with their transitions.
very important fact Busch said Independent Media is very important and I agree with that it is as long as it is independent now that is what I choose Independent Media not CNN not CNBC not BBC
So Fox.
Man... I can't believe I'm saying this but I kinda miss Dubya
Are you kidding?
Joseph Del Hoyo Trump is a better President than Bush... by far.
@@donald_the_savage1234 You must be on crack. W Bush is better than Trump
Huh? Seriously?
Great Interview. I rate it 9/11
You sitting in India have no moral turpitude to use the death of thousands as sarcasm.
😂😂😂
"Haha" -George W Bush
I like how he laughs 😂
God how low has the US sunk if we come to think of Bush as a decent, fairly smart guy compared to Trump?
Has America ever not been divided
Isaiah James it’s always been divided one way or the other....being divided sells.... being united isn’t exciting
WW2
We're only divided when we're fighting ourselves..
Look at post 9/11, those weeks following was the unity.
During, and shortly after WW1/WW2, we were united.
Woohan The Bat don’t know what world you’ve been in but we’ve been divided since day 1.
@@imjames29 If you're old enough to remember 9/11, we were united for awhile afterwards. Slowly became divided again.
I feel so bad that he got such a bad rap when he was in office. He speaks so many truths here. I’m not a republican or a Democrat, but I could get behind this man, because he’s telling the truth here.
He honestly has gotten so much better at painting.
well i think the popular vote is to think bush was a bad president but he also managed really well with the arab nations on the rise, a scale up of global terrorism and other global crisis.... bush did well
Awwww Trump makes me appreciate Bush so much more!
911 mystery?
you can kind of tell he was holding back speaking badly about Trump/ disapproving his policies.
Whether you like Trump or not that's not the discussion, but it's obvious he had that look of having more to say but holding back.
Taylor Beckett I'm pretty sure even Trump's cabinets have a thing or 2 to say about Trump.
Taylor Beckett That or he wants to tell the people all the wrong him, his daddy and bff Slick Wiley did to the world.
Taylor Beckett it's true. He probably realizes that ANY disapproval (which the anchor was totally trying to get out of him) would result in a headline describing his "lack of respect for President Trump." These guys can't answer questions straight, since the questions are slanted from the beginning
Wow, i'm actually liking this dude. I expected him to put down Trump in every way especially on NBC but he his a deep thinker and patient at most. Respect.
I hated him when he was in office but at this point, I wish we could have GW Bush as president again. We didn't know how good we had it.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I LAUGHED SO HARD AT 6:09 😂 "That's why I'm here, TO SELL THIS BOOK" 😂😂😂😂
GOD BLESS AMERICA
So, America, even as a foreigner, I remember what you all said about George W. What do you currently think of him, now that you have a new standard for President?
This is what being an American should be. George Bush supporting our current President Trump. Good man bush is. I knew there was more to this strong leader than meets the eye. Thank you President Bush!!!
“People who murder the innocent are not religious people.” Born and unborn. Amen.
Pres Bush is a genuine man and an example of a classy ex President. Doesn't criticize who followed him.
Let's face it, if he was running for president, the media would cover non-stop how Hitler was also a painter and hence W=H
deportable interview. they took something that was supposed to promote out vets, and turned it into a trump bashing session.
Agree or disagree with his views, the man is a god damn Patriot
Well Said Mr. President. Please keep up the good works. Thank You.
HEY GEORGE DO YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT WILL GIVE ME A JOB?
one of the best presidents ever!
This is what you call fake news... Bush doesn't "talk Trump".... They try to make this all against President Trump... This video should say Matt Lauer baits ex-president Bush with questions about President Trump...Thanks Mr. Bush for not falling for it and for President Trump for holding the media to account.
The American Soldier That isn't "fake news," it's click bait. It's only fake news if you don't actually watch the video.
Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey: True... it is click bait fake news.
There so liberal they stoped the video when he was going to say something good about trump
They should ask these questions. satan trump is trying to destroy every basic belief (freedom of press, the right to question people in authority), we as Americans hold dear......so he (satan trump) can make a buck for one of his businesses.
Andre Jenkins: The only issue I have with your comment is... well... EVERYTHING! That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard! You use the name "satan" yet President Trump has literally been fighting for the Christian. He has opened the eyes of Americans with the lies of the media and turning back the respect that officials (police for example) that they deserve in while Obama had destroyed. This is what a AMERICANS hold dear, and President Trump is on the right path.
Never thought I'd hear Dubya be the voice of reason. Good on you, Mr. President
He speaks with forked tongue.
That NBC logo depicts nuclear holocaust. How cute
Mika Saarela yes and the lizard people rule the flat earth
Bush is two faced.
After listing to this video, Bush is correct.
You got shoes thrown at you! Shoes!
Throw them at satan trump instead.........
He dodged them well be fair
This is the most important video on RUclips.
Never would I have imagined to one day praise president Bush but damn it I will today.
Trump makes Bush look smart.
No, you make them both look smarter! You probably don't know anything about Bush's presidency anyway!
exposing your own lack of intelligence with that statement....densoid!
Yea I know a little Bit about Bush!
Yeah I really enjoyed Bush's Guantanamo Bay and his illegal war in Iraq.
Yeah... Really such a smart guy...
+ Caino 05: Next thing I bet you will tell us that Hil-liar-y and Bareback were/are 2 very smart cookies? Pfglghahahaha
So, you are the smart one!?
Quite smart Bush DESTROYING Matt in 5 seconds. Haha
Godbless to all Amen
The fact they cut off at the moment they do says a whole lot.
The "W" stands for "war criminal".
W stands for Winner!
Where’s the C?
I thought the W stands for Weasel.
@@galenikarlek84 Winner using blind tax payer's hard earned money and using national capablities for self-gain.
I miss this bloke :) #00sMemories
George bush eats a human meat on his own dinner just for fun.
Wow. You know things are going downhill when Dubya sounds more credible, thoughtful, and honest than the president we have now.
That interview you are behind in life thank you will fight this moment, always listen that conversation,
911
killer.
Trump 2024
He's the greatest comedian EVER.
Bush - I may not agree all your policies, but you are a good
