Podcasts about Barbara Bush

This was one of our most listened-to conversations of the past year. If you missed it the first time, here's your second chance. She moderated the fly debate. She interviewed Stephen Hawking. She covered 12 presidential campaigns and sat down with the last 10 presidents. And she spent years inside Queen Elizabeth's extraordinary vantage point on American democracy — one that no American journalist could ever fully replicate. Two minutes. Real impact. Leave a review: lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion Susan Page, Washington Bureau Chief of USA TODAY, joins Corey to discuss her latest book, The Queen and Her Presidents: a sweeping account of Queen Elizabeth II's relationships with every American president from Truman to Biden. But this conversation goes well beyond the book. Susan reflects on a career that began in a converted car dealership on Long Island, the lessons she learned covering her first president (and how badly she blew it), what it really takes to develop sources across decades of political reporting, and why — from a Kansas girl's perspective — the people on both sides of our divide love America more than we give them credit for.

But the goal is to inform the conversation, not control it. The worst thing an interviewer can do, she says, is fail to listen to the answer. Great sourcing is built on respect and fairness, not on pulling punches. Rich Bond, the young Long Island operative she profiled in 1979, became a top Republican official and a reliable source for decades — not because she went easy on him, but because he trusted her to be fair. She would not have softened a story about him, and he knew it. Books and daily journalism use the same muscle, differently. The skills transfer directly — the sourcing, the curiosity, the nose for a good detail — but the bar is higher and the time horizon is longer. Writing a book means people are paying thirty dollars and spending real time. You owe them something they couldn't get from clicking a link. The best research rewards patience. Sifting through archival files at eight presidential libraries and the National Archives in Britain yielded moments that almost nobody else has read. The sarcastic cables British ambassadors sent back about LBJ as vice president confirmed everything LBJ already suspected they thought of him. They love America. Whether she's at a No Kings rally or a MAGA rally, Susan hears the same thing: people who care deeply, who revere the Constitution, who think they're fighting for the country. The polarization isn't about love of country — it's about a failure to extend basic respect across the divide. Queen Elizabeth perfected the art of getting people to talk. Her small talk strategy — chatter briefly, then turn the question back — was especially effective with men, who, as Susan notes diplomatically, tend to enjoy talking about themselves. Susan has consciously adopted the technique and credits it with making her better at navigating rooms full of strangers.

Pride Month keeps the celebration moving on We Drink & We Watch Things as we transition from the quiet, burning embers of 18th-century France to the bright, neon-soaked drag capital of South Beach. For our "G" selection in the lineup, we are throwing it back to 1996 for Mike Nichols and Elaine May's sublime masterclass in comedic farce: The Birdcage. Mix yourself something wonderfully refreshing - perhaps Lemar's "Straight" Bourbon - and get ready for a family dinner where absolutely nothing goes according to plan.This week, we celebrate the legendary chemistry between Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, looking at how Williams plays the perfect, anchored straight man (pun intended) to Lane's fiercely dramatic, Barbara Bush-redefining Albert. We bask in the glorious, scene-stealing supporting work of Hank Azaria as the perpetually barefoot Agador Spartacus and Gene Hackman as the ultra-conservative Senator Keeley, who unwittingly ends up in the drag escape of a lifetime. We also break down the film's incredible heart, discussing how beneath the chaotic Martha Graham choreography, the "eco-friendly" naked-boy pottery, and the frantic attempts to pass as straight, it is a deeply moving portrait of unconditional love and a radical defense of queer families.If you can instantly recite the difference between a John Wayne walk and a regular walk, or if you just want to hear us gush about the comedic genius of an Elaine May screenplay, this episode is pure joy. We're blending our adoration for this comfort-movie masterpiece with our usual casual banter, proving that when the world gets crazy, sometimes you just have to give 'em a little bit of Fosse, Fosse, Fosse!This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

The 2nd Sunday in June is children's day. The following Sunday we celebrate Father's Day. A great deal of concern has been focused on our children as the dawn of a new century is fast approaching. Children who have graduated this last year in the 20th century are told that they will be shaping the next century. What a challenge for our children and our grandchildren. Many years ago, an author by the name of Dorothy Law Nolte wrote these thoughts about children and what they learn from those around them.Children learn what they live. If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn. If children live with hostility, they learn to fight. If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy. If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty. If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient. If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence. If children live with praise they learn to appreciate. If children live with fairness, they learn justice. If children live with security, they learn to have faith. If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves. If children live with acceptance and friendship, they learn to find love in the world. Children are our teachers. They walk with us, or push us, through a process of purification to our own maturity. How can we respect and honor this gift? I am reminded of what former First Lady, Barbara Bush, stated in a graduation speech. She said, 100 years from now, it will not matter what your bank account has, or what sort of house you lived in, or the kind of car you drove. But the world may be different because you were important in the life of a child. Celebrate the gift of a child on children's day.Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea Written by Dr. Luetta G Werner.

På søndag er det nok engang blevet tid til Oscaruddeling live fra Hollywood, og i den anledning tænkte vi, at det igen måtte være på tide at gå 30 år tilbage i tiden og denne gang kigge på filmsange fra 1996. Et rigtig godt år for store blockbusters som f.eks. Independence Day, The Rock, The Nutty Professor og 101 Dalmatians, men vi har som altid fokus på musikken, og derfor kigger vi især på film med mindeværdige soundtracks. Vi kommer bl.a. til at spille sange fra glimrende kunstnere som Eric Clapton, Warren G., Celine Dion, The Cardigans, Madonna, Seal og Whitney Houston, og tager fat i film som f.eks. Mission: Impossible, Mørkeleg, Evita, Space Jam, Romeo + Juliet, Pusher, Phenomenon, Trainspotting og The Cable Guy. Derudover prøver vi at huske teamet til filmen Twister, vi nævner igen (igen) Peter Jorde og Thomas Eje, vi afslører hvornår ”Sour Cream & Onion” blev kåret som danskernes yndlingschips, og så bliver der også lige et par mærkværdige afstikkere til bandlyste biskopper, dyre radiopromoer, Kirsten Peuliche, Gordon Kennedy, svævende skruetrækkere, en vred Barbra Streisand og dørspioner der redder folk fra Barbara Bush. Playliste: Björk - Nu flyver Anton Underworld - Born slippy .NUXX Celine Dion - Because you loved me Bush - Machinehead Adam Clayton & Larry Mullen - Theme from Mission: Impossible Jim Carrey - Somebody to love Eternal - Someday Eric Clapton - Change the World Warren G. feat. Adina Howard - What's love got to do with it Elisabeth - Mørkeleg Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Walls (Circus) The Prisoner - Summers got the color The Wonders - That thing you do The Cardigans - Lovefool Des'ree - I'm kissing you Seal - Fly like an eagle Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams - I finally found someone Whitney Houston - Step by step Madonna - You must love me

Laugh, cry, and reflect with us as Deborah Roberts shares why, in a divided world, the bonds between sisters — and the women who become like sisters — may matter more than ever. She has reported from war zones, interviewed world leaders, and earned Peabody and Emmy Awards for her journalism — but ABC News 20/20 co-anchor Deborah Roberts says her most personal story yet begins at home. This week, Deborah joins us to talk about her new book, Sisters Loved and Treasured: Stories of Unbreakable Bonds, a warmhearted celebration of one of life's most enduring relationships. In Sisters Loved and Treasured, Deborah curates a collection of conversations, meditations, and anecdotes from her own sisters, celebrity friends, and everyday people alike, who share deeply personal accounts of how their relationships as sisters shaped their lives. She writes candidly about feeling lost in a big family, the joy and strain of sibling relationships, and the heartbreak of losing two sisters. The book features more than 50 personal stories from Viola Davis, Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush, Arianna Huffington, Octavia Spencer, and many more. But sisterhood, Deborah reminds us, isn't only defined by blood. The book also explores how sisterhood transcends biological lines — and how the bonds between women friends can be just as powerful and sustaining.

VYS0055 | Merry ChristMups! - The Muppet Christmas Carol - Vayse to Face with Phil Ristaino: Saturnalia 2025 - Show Notes God help us, every one! 'Tis the season of good will to all creatures and, even better, that jolly old elf, Phil Ristaino, returns to Vayse after an absence of only 4 episodes for an urgent meeting about the Muppet Christmas Carol, a film which he had never seen before researching for the episode! With Phil's help and encouragement Hine and Buckley joyously delve into a film which has been a Vayse favourite for over 3 decades, discussing the sad and sudden demise of the genius that was Jim Henson, the connections between the muppets and spirituality, why the Muppet Christmas Carol is one of the best Christmas movies, if not one of the best movies ever made, how the spirit of Jim Henson visited his successor to the voice of Kermit... and how the Muppets got the best performance of his career out of Michael Caine (recorded 4 December 2025).

On this episode of Next on the Tee, I welcome back one of my all-time favorite guests, 1978 PGA Champion John Mahaffey, making his 10th appearance on the show. John and I revisit his special connection to Oakmont, the site of his major championship win, and he shares how the course has evolved since his 1978 PGA Championship victory there. I also get his perspective on JJ Spaun's U.S. Open victory before shifting gears to the Ryder Cup. John takes us inside his experience on the victorious 1979 team, recalling what it was like being paired with Lee Elder and Hale Irwin, facing Brian Barnes in singles, and handling the pressure of that opening tee shot on Friday. We finish up with a couple of wonderful Ben Hogan stories that you won't want to miss, plus how he was able to successfully transition careers from play to broadcasting. I round out the episode with another very special friend of the show, Dr. Russell Levenson. Russ radiates positivity and spirituality, something that shines through every time he speaks. Last time, we talked about his book Witness to Dignity and his friendship with President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush. Now, Russ shares insights from his upcoming book, Witness to Belief: Conversations on Faith & Meaning, which features powerful conversations with 12 extraordinary individuals, including Condoleezza Rice, Denzel Washington, Amy Grant, Jane Goodall, and Dr. Francis Collins. His warmth, wisdom, and storytelling will leave you feeling uplifted and filled with positive vibes.

当生命的帷幕缓缓落下，我们站在时光的尽头回望，才会读懂遗憾的真正模样。那些曾让我们殚精竭虑的考试、汲汲营营的判决、反复拉扯的交易，终究会在岁月里褪色成模糊的印记，从未真正在心底留下重量。在生命的最后一刻，床榻前的亲人，是你此生为数不多的温暖记忆和陪伴。我们总以为未来漫长，有无数机会弥补，却忘了时光从不停歇，亲人朋友的陪伴经不起等待。生命的珍贵从不在功利的得失间，而在与挚爱相守的每一个平凡片刻，唯有握紧当下的温暖，才能在终点回望时，少一份遗憾，多一份心安。New Wordsregret v. /rɪˈɡret/ 后悔；懊悔；I regret not spending more time with my family last year.我后悔去年没有多花些时间陪伴家人。verdict n. /ˈvɜːdɪkt/ n. 裁决，判决；The judge announced the verdict after three hours of discussion.经过三小时的讨论，法官宣布了裁决结果。deal n. /diːl/ 交易；协议；We made a deal to split the profits equally.我们达成了利润均分的协议。Quote to learn for todayAt the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.——Barbara Bush翻译在生命的尽头，你永远不会后悔没有通过某一场考试、没有赢得某一场判决或没有谈成某一笔交易。你会后悔的是，没有花时间陪伴丈夫、朋友、孩子或父母。—— 芭芭拉・布什 更多卡卡老师分享公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu001送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包，帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路

Max Trescott talks with Ken Solosky, the NYPD's Chief Pilot on 9/11, about his experiences managing helicopter operations on one of the most catastrophic days in American history. Though Ken wasn't flying at the moment of the attacks, he was on the ground coordinating the NYPD's aviation response. He recounts how what began as a seemingly routine aircraft accident quickly escalated into a full-blown national emergency. The aviation unit scrambled a standard rescue package—Bell 412s with divers and crew chiefs, and patrol helicopters—only to face total communication breakdowns. Cell service and landlines failed, radio channels were overloaded, and misinformation, including reports of enemy fighter jets, created unprecedented confusion. Ken recalls the surreal moment of watching the second plane hit the South Tower live on TV and initially being unable to process the reality. He explains why rooftop rescues weren't feasible—smoke obscured visibility, doors were locked or inaccessible, and the risk of engine flameout in the intense heat made the mission too dangerous. Still, he and his team documented the scene extensively and continued daily aerial photography for nearly a year afterward. Ken describes how foreign and domestic aviation units offered immediate support, with helicopters arriving from other cities—even LAPD offering to send their fleet. Yet due to lack of coordination, many of these aircraft were unknown to NYPD at the time and went unused in the response. He speaks candidly about the emotional toll, having lost 10 close friends among the 23 NYPD officers killed, and how that pain continues with the rise in 9/11-related cancer deaths among first responders. Post-9/11, Ken was instrumental in implementing a “96-hour standalone” plan for the NYPD, designed to maintain operations without headquarters support. Staffing schedules were restructured to ensure long-term response capacity. He shares how the aviation unit has evolved over the years—growing from six helicopters to a modern fleet including Bell 429s, a Bell 407 trainer, and a fixed-wing Caravan used for radiation scanning of incoming ships to New York Harbor. Ken also offers a detailed look at what a typical day is like for an NYPD pilot—flying patrol missions, conducting surveillance, responding to foot and vehicle pursuits, and supporting SWAT teams. He explains how the aircraft are equipped with cutting-edge tools like high-def thermal imagers, tactical radios, moving maps, and address-targeting cameras that can zoom in on a license plate from miles away. These tools enable precise coordination with ground teams and real-time intelligence, greatly improving safety and effectiveness. The conversation also delves into pilot recruitment and training, safety management system (SMS) implementation, and Ken's personal advice for those interested in joining a law enforcement aviation unit. He emphasizes that character and work ethic matter just as much as flight hours. In lighter moments, Ken shares stories of flying Barbara Bush to West Point when Marine One had mechanical issues, and being told by Yankees legend Derek Jeter that flying for the NYPD was cooler than being the Yankees' shortstop. He also describes dramatic rescues, like locating a man stranded on a sandbar after his friend swam off—and later finding that friend safe on another island. Ken currently flies both a Bell 407 and an Augusta 109 for corporate clients and continues to teach and speak for the FAA and EAA. His legacy and continued contribution to aviation safety and training are evident throughout the episode. The interview is both a sobering reflection on 9/11 and a celebration of how aviation supports public safety in today's complex world.

Before RuPaul's Drag Race, there was The Birdcage—a 1996 comedy that gave us drag queens, dinner party disasters, and Robin Williams in a wifebeater. This week, Jackie and Danielle are joined by their fabulous pod pals Ajay and Jon from The Delicious Recap to relive the wigs, the scandals, and the iconic walk through South Beach. With Nathan Lane stealing every scene and Gene Hackman rocking a Barbara Bush cosplay, this film is both hilarious and historically queer.The gang dives into the movie's legacy, Robin and Nathan's casting switcheroo, and why Val might be the true villain of the story (spoiler: he needed therapy). From political hypocrisy to shrimp soup sabotage, this rewatch is as chaotic as Agador in loafers. It's heartfelt, it's hilarious, and yes, it's still got that We Are Family magic.·Season 5 Episode 10-—No More Late Fees ⁠https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com⁠909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERing⁠⁠myconquering.com⁠⁠10% Off Code: JACKIE10—The Delicious RecapInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deliciousrecap/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@deliciousrecap

Megan Lowry, Marine Corps Veteran, Veteran Wellness Specialist, and citizen of the Muscogee Nation is our guest today on the Hoffman Podcast. Megan's story is one of hope. She held 'a kernel of hope' when she came to the Hoffman Process in 2015. As a Native American, Megan wasn't sure how she would navigate the week of the Process. She shares, "Being Native, there's things that we do to grieve and things that we never show and never talk about just, culturally, and so just bringing all of that to the Hoffman process, it was intimidating." Megan served our country in the Marine Corps and then in the Secret Service for President, George W. Bush and First Lady, Barbara Bush. The military was where Megan gained so much, yet it was a place that also caused her great harm. She grew and learned to "adapt and overcome," but she suffered both sexual and emotional abuse during those years. After leaving the service, she found herself having a difficult time. Then she was fortunate to meet Lee Lesser, founder of Veteran's PATH. Lee became a mentor to Megan, helping Megan find a path of healing path that included the Hoffman Process. Now a PhD student, Megan continues to heal her significant PTSD while bringing her many skills and wisdom to serve as the commander of the Muscogee Creek Nation women's honor guard and support Veterans in finding healing and well-being. For her dissertation, Megan intends to highlight the need for a blend of healing modalities, such as talk and recreational therapies, and ties to the community to give you purpose. Megan says, "It's not just one thing or another, it's a blend of so many things, of so many pieces to create the human experience."
