And on HBO is -- premier any idea documentary on the life of a former president George H.

W.

Bush it's -- 41 and here's sent a quick look at some of the great president.

I've seen what crosses that big guests I've seen the unexpected crisis that arrives in the cable and a young aides hand.

And so I know.

Good but it all comes down to this election.

Is the man at the desk.

And who should sit at that desk and my friends I am that -- With more on this documentary the direct terror.

Of -- blood documentary 41 Jeffrey Roth is here to everyone about that.

I guess the 84 other years that you have to talk about was that equally fascinating as the four years that he was presence.

-- very fascinating because he's done so much especially when he was one of the youngest naval aviators.

In World War II.

Deputy shot down so at least you footage of those rescued done in and we do we have him being plucked out of the -- we -- footage but.

Starting in -- with a bang and then everything he's done for the rest of his life that led up to the presidency he's had a pretty full life you're really accident on so many different.

Things -- did you come away.

Or what it did you take -- that was different know in terms of the way you thought about a person you didn't know that after that the moving.

I just think it was getting -- him to seeing how humble he is.

And just how private he is and that he really doesn't care to shape his own legacy and ever memoir never did and he you know he he mostly that the historians and history and it.

Doesn't bother him one Wear them.

-- -- -- -- -- I would don't want -- -- private so private that who did you know and it hasn't really didn't never had any interest in talking about himself.

You know now I -- medium -- talk about himself.

We do we met him were for -- previous film the wonder of -- all which.

But we -- to -- and we walked out I think we'll never see the guy you know life.

And we did it and then we started thinking but -- we wanted to you next week that he had a very fascinating story itself and so we started asking and they said you know.

No because again he hasn't done these things but sure enough came in email it said he's intrigued and then we found ourselves shooting six weeks later.

Credit Jerry Weintraub who's -- -- and famous.

That -- figure for many years she was on Imus in the morning said it is I guess a few days ago talking about it is influential -- a friend of President Bush is -- -- I know we like your movies -- the for the other one you mentioned he did.

You know we started this film and then -- as we were.

Nearing completion we had a rough cut President Bush ask Jerry to take a look at it yeah and he didn't Gerry -- to say the rest is history.

Bitter about losing the presidential election because I saw the comment that you made about Ross Perot was very abroad as you face he essentially said.

I'm not gonna talk about and I don't like him I think cost by election period them but we see bitter.

-- against -- for I think so I mean you you see in the movie a man who's pretty stoic.

And yet when this comes up it's very short it's very brief but it -- by one of crossed emotions that you see him given the film.

So the only time -- that I don't talk about them.

You know about something in the movie -- that India that's kind of interest but it says everything yet it -- if you you just have to watch the entire documentary which we will look at that.

Jeffrey Jeffrey thank you so much about -- tonight on non.

On HBO and before we -- speaking of HBO before we -- about a Jeffrey HBO.

The showed -- gain -- thrown facilities as well he mentioned this briefly earlier in the show and it also something you with the bush family such while we bring it up now to take a look at this.

Video which -- weird -- game -- on a bunch of heads on a spike.

Okay but according to the show produces one of the heads highlighted here is our model of the of president George W.

Bush -- -- -- 43 president -- -- closer look -- is that once the show producers say they had no political message and simply is ahead because it was just.

-- around and it's expensive to buy extra heads that is that is weird weird legislative it's the first season of game friends my.
