George H. W. Bush Gives Debate Advice to George W. Bush - SNL 

Probably because it was the last time we actually had a surplus. Bush ate it up and then created a huge deficit thanks to the advice he got from his dad's friends.

So you agree the economy was good under Reagan.

Tensai55 Congress decides the budget. Plus we had the dotcom boom lol

@@sallymj8957 Reagan was a horrible president. Debt went up 186% under him and he created trickle down economics. He screwed middle class Americans. Clinton is the one the had the budget surplus.

​@@sallymj8957 You realize Reagan had been out of office for almost 12 years at this point, right?

Gabriel S what a nut

Or overtaxation and inflation It's coming right back though

2024 and that's still funny!

AN.

Of course!!

No doubt

I'd say one person in this sketch would be a first ballot SNL Hall Of Famer and it sure as hell ain't Will Ferrell

@@furnitureconsortium Ferrell is funny but not as funny as Carvey when it comes to impressions

@@furnitureconsortium Would it be Chris Farley

What's up I have my papers

People don’t know that it was a Conservative judge that Trump considered for the Supreme Court (over ACB) that ruled in favor in that case. Barbara Lagoa.

America was well off and complacent in 2000 that Elian was the only real controversial news story

Fascinating , considering how George W put us so deep into debt that there will probably not be a suplus for who knows how long. And they blamed it on Obama.

@@taraxacum odingbat doubled the debt in his 8 years, so how did that have anything to do with Bush?

BILL CLINTON'S SURPLUS.

@@RJ1999x Get your facts straight, ignoramus. These are THE FACTS according to Forbes Magazine: "President Donald Trump claimed Feb. 15 that former President Barack Obama “put on more debt on this country than every president in the history of our country combined.” . . . Patrick Newton, a spokesperson for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget . . . pointed out that the debt was already projected to increase before Obama assumed office. Robert Bixby, executive director of The Concord Coalition, a group that advocates for fiscal responsibility, made the same point, citing federal spending on baby boomers as one example. “During Obama’s first term, the baby boomer generation begin[s] to qualify for full Social Security benefits and Medicare at age 65. Spending on these programs went up as more beneficiaries began to qualify for benefits,” he told The DCNF in an email." It appears that President Trump and Congress have reached a deal to increase the debt limit and a two-year budget that will substantially increase the yearly federal deficit. Besides throwing aside any semblance of budget restraint by either political party, it will create $1 trillion plus budget deficits for as long as the eye can see. Trump likes to claim that everything he does is the largest by any President. He is going to get his “wish” with the budget deficit since they are on course to be the biggest in an expanding economy. Between the 2018 tax cuts and the increase in spending for 2020 and 2021 it will push the accumulated deficits to be the largest ever over a four-year timeframe. And God help the U.S. when a downturn in the economy hits and the deficits balloon beyond any current projection". Trump's deficit is already overtaking Obama's 8 YEARS and Donald's first term IS NOT EVEN OVER.

@@charlesroberts3650 wrong! George Bush and Newt Gingrich made it LAW that the budget had to balance, the surplus was due to that, which expired during Clinton's years and he then merrily went to racking up debt

Bush loved it too

​@@Alieh86 Bush invited him in to send of the staff when Bush was leaving.

True.True.True.True.True. True.

Some would say that he was low energy.

He just couldn't slip and slide the right way.

I'd much rather see Jeb in the Oval Office now than Agent Orange. Also, we would've had The First Hispanic First Lady In The White House. Truly a missed opportunity. Think About It.

He didn't want it enough.

@@royrowland5763 ........found the democrat

@@royrowland5763 lol, ok "Rex". You reek with the idiocy of a thick bearded Californian. Go back to the corner and ponder why your free spirit parents named you after an extinct creature with a peanut sized brain while the rich genius rightfully rules our country.

@Scotty St Cloud The point is that he does NOT speak in a very basic way. Ernest Hemingway, with his love of plain prose and short sentences spoke in a very basic way. Trump BUTCHERS the English language. I've seen corpses with a better grasp of syntax and semantics. It's not the case that his language resonates with the working class. It's his dog-trombone racism, and hatred of intelligent, educated, and thoughtful human beings that resonates with the political lowest common denominator of the hoi polloi. They love him, not because they like what he says, but because he cannot say anything at all. He has no discernable articulated views on anything. He is a political HULK, only without the super-intelligent and caring Bruce Banner alter ego. He's a pure rage monster.

It's a shame to see that so many SNL fans are a bunch of weak liberal maggots.

@LᗩᑎDO LᗩᑎD it continues because the majority of individuals support the set up. When a president declares war on another country, that president doesnt do any fighting themselves, they send an army. If each individual in that army chose not to obey the president, the president has no power. Like how the "Government" locked up Ithe Wikileaks guy. The government told their police to lock him up, if the entire police force refused, theres no power.

Now both parties are trying to divide us to alienate the other side

@@lancemuller9556 Not really. Dems/Republicans aren't even the "sides" anymore - it's Trumpism vs. the rest of us. And Trumpism lost, thank God.

Cowbell changed SNL forever that night.

Michael Thomas it still is. Trump is much better than bush . Just because you don’t like trump personally doesn’t make him a bad president.

earlybirdgaming 12 except trump is under investigation for colluding with a foreign government to influence our election...I don't recall Bush ever being in the same spot, no matter how dumb he was

Douglas Poole is that what fox news tells you? If so it's wrong. All made to make the man look bad when he's actually doing a great job. Leftist can't stand defeat even long after they've lost.

Jake Helton all you guys and your fake news defense for everything. Trump doesn’t need the media to make himself look bad his mouth and his twitter do that for him. I don’t think he’s all bad though Incase you comeback with any leftist liberal snowflake crap that you people use for everything as well. He’s done some things well like all presidents do and some things not so good like all presidents do. Besides that he’s a racist assclown leading a party full of racists we need to give him a full term to see where we are at after that term is up

Douglas Poole Except, that investigation was triggered off of a corrupt cover up: Obama traceably spied on Trump during the election. Nixonian. Thus, the criminals have to retroactively justify their crimes. Further, the only evidence of election rigging involves Hillary and the DNC takeover.

great!!

Ethan G. I miss Dana

You should have seen the ones he did while H.W. was still in office!!

Watch the video of him doing it at the White House with GHW there lol

Beux J obviously too young to have lived through their crap the Clinton years were my best years ever no I was on welfare I work for the f****** government f*** you

@@terrystrayer9882 Are you drunk?

The late Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton was CLASSIC!!!! 🙏😪❤

Hi Mr. President! How you doin'?

You were the best=)

So do I.

I am so sorry, you will be missed.

Yes

I wrote that, and I still don't even know what that means GHWB

Snap out of it!

Smacks him 3 times lol

I repeated that numerous times

lol he was right, bush became president and something did happen

Some things did actually happen

Oh do you guys mean The Twin Towers being attacked and killing thousands of people?

Thankfully nothing happened during his terms. Well, you know you are headed to four years of pain when you think about your own viable choice, "But what if he actually has to do something?"

SNL's not the same now

We used to have a sense of humor.

@@elfinko5862 i still do just not with snl

@@MrJijack of course it’s not. It’s been going for decades, you think it’s going to be the same now as it was in 2000, or the same in 2000 as it was in 1980?

If only the DNC realized that, don’t go full King Centrist.

@1 Atom 12 Trump tried to go full Bernie promising free things but turned out to be an evangelical enabling libertarian in the end. I knew from his history that he was a lying playboy so didn't vote for him unlike many ignorant and naive americans. He promised factory jobs, healthcare, lowering prescription drug prices among other socialist ideas. Don't tell me that GOP and the Chamber of Commerce support those ideas. There is a reason that he broke the blue wall and got the states through a razor thin margin but now Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are going Biden's way. Ohio and even Iowa which he won by nearly 10 points are in danger of a flip. North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona (likely) and the biggest prize of it all, Texas, will just be the icing on the cake.

You don't get more centrist than being on both sides of every issue and promising everyone everything - Trump did it by the book, just with a bunch of added bigotry and stupidity. Re-election though, he screwed up. He demanded cultish loyalty rather than competence and didn't deliver.

@@linusp9316 None of trumps policies were bigoted. The standard operating procedure by the left is as follows “white man bad!!!! Cancelled!!!!”

@@pridelander06 OMG, that made me scream with laughter at the image! 🤣

It’s not about moving to the centre as such, elections are won on turnout so you have to enthuse your base to turn out for you but not be so offensive to the other side that they turn out against you.

So true. Those were such simpler times.

He's in hell

@@carolingian5736 fr hes a warhawk neocon

McStain had lots of blood on his hands. And his constant sympathy seeking with "I was a POW, me and my swollen cheek gland" he was such a terrible presidential candidate that he lost Indiana, made Montana, Kansas swing states ffs. Bush hurt too but McCain was a stale turd candidate.

Yeah but that's what makes this skit all the more funnier.

No, Al Gore running a weak-ass campaign made GWB POTUS.

And made him sound like another Texan Stone Cold Steve Austin

Amazing chemistry

dumb as bricks and incredibly incomptent?

@@mr.blonde8808 I remember the "potatoe" incident...

Daniel Quinn Unlikely, Gore was a product of the Democrats “Liberal Hawk” phase. To appeal to America at the time he would likely be a lot more right-wing than people like to think he would be.

Yeah, a great one! With clean air, clean water, and definitely less human impacts on our climate/environment. Just imagine what this world could be right now!! What the F is everyone so afraid of? Why is half the country scared shit-less to admit, and act to prevent, a global disaster that is caused by man-made climate change??? I really, really hope this country WAKES UP in November 2020 and votes selflessly for the sake of our bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free? Dizzy with the possibilities. Ashes ashes all fall down.

"Look at the head on that brew" - this dickhead bartender

They were sneaky and slip sliding away about it.

The show still does. Always has. People have fond nostalgia for their “own” SNL but in reality the quality has been remarkably consistent over 40 years. It’s always been a mixed bag, with the political satire being the stronger moments.

Phil Jon he’s actually not dead it’s all about the 1,000 points of light

It seems really disrespectful to post this on a satirical video that doesn't have him in it. But, whatever.
