Barbara Pierce Bush, daughter of former Republican President George W. Bush, has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president. In a statement, Bush said, “It was inspiring to join friends and meet voters with the Harris-Walz campaign in Pennsylvania this weekend. I'm hopeful they'll move our country forward and protect women's rights.” While Bush actively supports Harris, her parents, the former President and First Lady, have opted not to endorse any candidate in this year's election. In contrast, former Vice President Dick Cheney has endorsed Harris, with his daughter, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, campaigning alongside her in pivotal swing states. Earlier this month, Susan Ford Bales, daughter of President Gerald Ford, also endorsed Harris in Michigan. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of Hollywood Live, Tanya Hart shares the surprising political move by Barbara Pierce Bush, daughter of George W. Bush and granddaughter of George H. W. Bush. Over the weekend, Barbara campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, marking a shift for the traditionally Republican Bush family, who now seem united behind Harris in the final days of the 2024 election. Tanya also reports on rapper 50 Cent's recent revelation that Donald Trump's campaign offered him $3 million to perform at the Madison Square Garden rally—an offer he turned down. Quashing any rumors about supporting Trump, 50 Cent clarified that he avoids politics. Tanya's sources reveal similar offers were extended to other rappers, including Lil Wayne, but they also declined, proving not all money is good money. On a lighter note, Tanya dives into the Halloween costume fun. Heidi Klum's legendary Halloween creativity is eagerly anticipated, but Lizzo might just steal the show this year. The Grammy-winning singer poked fun at her portrayal on South Park, turning it into a hilarious costume: a faux drug box dress, complete with a measuring tape belt. Lizzo's playful take on her South Park appearance is already winning fans online. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Barbara Pierce would one day become our forty-first First Lady as the wife of US President George H.W. Bush. Before that, she was the third of four children in a prominent New York City family, and had a privileged upbringing. Here is her interesting story from society girl to First Lady.

I was born on June 24 in 1946 to Mildred Freshman Reich and Edwin Saul Reich at the Mercy Hospital in Scranton, Pennsylvania.That was ten days after Donald John Trump was born to Fred Trump and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump at the Jamaica hospital in the borough of Queens, New York.It was 12 days before George Walker Bush was born to Barbara Pierce Bush and George Herbert Walker Bush at Grace-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut.And 56 days before William Jefferson Blythe III, whose name was changed to Bill Clinton, was born to Virginia Cassidy and William Jefferson Blythe, Jr., at the Julia Chester Hospital in Hope, Arkansas.I did not become President. But my grandmother, Minnie Reich — with whom I spent a great deal of time as an infant and toddler when Mildred was helping Ed at the store — told me repeatedly that I would be the first Jewish president. (In hindsight, I think she was seeking to reassure herself that despite my being a runt — a full head shorter than others my age — I would one day make her proud.)  All of us — little Donald, George W., Billy, and I — were conceived in the weeks following America's victory over Hitler's Germany and Hirohito's Japan, the previous September.Ed Reich had been a medic during the war. Fred Trump had built barracks for Navy personnel. George H.W. had been a Navy pilot. Bill Blythe had repaired ships and tanks. At the end of the war, Ed, Fred, George, and Bill returned to Mildred, Mary Anne, Barbara, and Virginia, respectively — to stoke what would be known as the post-war baby boom. (More babies were born in 1946 than ever before — 3.4 million of us little darlings, 20 percent more than the year before.)We were born into an America that felt proud of its war victories but was also exhausted by war. Surprising almost everyone, the nation emerged economically stronger than it had been before the war. During the war, almost everyone had been put to work and almost every factory run at full capacity — thus ending the Great Depression more effectively than any of the many programs FDR had tried.  We were born to men and women whose futures were suddenly filled with more possibility than they had been for almost a decade and a half — for most of their young lives — but who were also shaken by the Depression and war, and by the brutality they had witnessed or heard about or would soon learn of. They had survived an economic cataclysm. They had fought fascism. They saw the results of genocide.Because of the challenges they had faced together, this generation of young Americans felt more connected to other Americans than any generation before them. Black Americans and women were still second-class citizens, to be sure. But the nation emerged from World War II far more certain of the virtues of American democracy and more confident about the American system than it would be seventy-six years hence, and more determined to overcome its faults. The two world wars and Depression decade between had also obliterated the entrenched fortunes of the Gilded Age — thereby leveling the playing field of the American economy and opening the way to the largest middle class the world had ever seen.  When I was a toddler, Ed had saved just enough money to rent a store on Lakawanna Avenue in Scranton and buy the only things he had learned how to sell during a job before the war — women's dresses and blouses. He called it the Beverly Shop, named after his sister. When Donald was a toddler, Fred was a real-estate developer in the Bronx who had acquired a mortgage-servicing company with access to the titles of many properties nearing foreclosure, which he bought cheaply and sold at a profit.When little George was a toddler, George H.W. was in the oil business in Texas. Bill's father had been a traveling salesman who died in an automobile accident three months before Bill was born. Four years after Bill's birth, Virginia married Roger Clinton, co-owner of an automobile dealership.So what did Donald, George, Bill, I, and millions of other boomers do for the next 76 years? Did we make America better, more inclusive, more tolerant? Did we strengthen American democracy? What's the legacy we are leaving to future generations? As you might imagine, I have lots to say about this. More to come. This is a public episode.

We each have a different story in life. We all have different struggles. Many of us have a higher level of privilege than others. One thing that I believe we have all faced in our lives is wanting to be fully seen and heard. We want to be known for who we are but feel like we are judged unfairly. On this episode, I discuss lessons on what I have learned in strengthening and building meaningful relationships through your life. For the book of the week, I most recently read "Sisters First" then remembered one common underlying theme that I read in my favorite book this year, "I Take My Coffee Black" by Tyler Merritt. Books of the week include: I Take My Coffee Black by Tyler Merritt Sisters First by Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush.

In this episode, Sam LeBlond talks with the Presidential Historian and President/CEO of the Lyndon B. Johnson Foundation, Mark Updegrove. They discuss preserving Presidential legacies during a pandemic, the consequential father-son relationship of Bush 41 and Bush 43 (and why it is so historically significant), the importance of compromise, and valuable advice from Barbara Pierce Bush.

In this episode, Sam LeBlond sits down with Peggy Swift White, who served as the Personal Aide to First Lady Barbara Bush from 1989 until 1993. In addition to being responsible for the First Lady's daily schedule, she also orchestrated domestic and international travel plans for Mrs. Bush to over 30 countries and all 50 states. They talk about Mrs. Bush's remarkable commencement speech at Wellesley College, the unique relationship between Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Gorbachev, and they remember George H. W. Bush, the man… and the statesman. They also recall the Bush's transition from the White House to private life and the solid (yet practical) wisdom of Barbara Pierce Bush… as seen from a true insider.

In this week's Thanksgiving episode I'm grateful to have a conversation with two amazingly accomplished women, Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush, twin daughters of our 43rd president. Our conversation transcends our current climate of politics and opinion. Jenna, with a well established career as a journalist on The Today Show and Barbara, a busy executive working in the global health field, discuss the disciplines that allowed them to remain focused, humble and truly productive, despite the scrutiny of their very public lives.

7: Sisters First by Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush

Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush discuss their surprisingly normal childhood when they assumed that everyone’s grandfather got to have an inauguration, and why they initially didn't want their dad to run for President.  Barbara discusses the difficulties of having the same name as the First Lady, and the time a Yale professor offered her an A if she could convince her dad to call off the Iraq War.  Jenna talks about the infamous night they got caught drinking underage and recalls her and her husband's comical first date at the White House.  They reveal the creepy dictator who had photos of them in his palace, their experiences on election night 2000 and 9/11, and weigh in on the recent story that neither their dad nor their grandfather voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Order Jenna and Barbara’s #1 bestseller Sisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life on Amazon or Audible.  To learn more, visit www.sistersfirst.com.  Catch Jenna on The Today Show on NBC and follow her on Twitter at @jennabushhager.  Learn more about Barbara’s terrific charity Global Health Corps at www.ghcorps.org  and follow them on twitter at @ghcorps.  Thank you to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum for hosting our interview.

WHCInsider co-founder Tammy Haddad spoke with Barbara Pierce Bush and Jenna Hager Bush about their new book "Sisters First" at a release party hosted by Connie Milstein, Dr. Mark Dybul and Anita McBride at The Jefferson Hotel. While they admitted they know, the twins remained mum about the joke their father, President George W. Bush whispered to President Barack Obama at the Hurricane relief event held in Houston, TX earlier this month. Sounds like they also put family first! #SistersFirst
