George H.W. Bush 1992 The Changing of the Guard
Randal Wallace Presents : "George H. W. Bush" a five season look back at his extraordinary life, career, and his single term as President of the United States. A term that saw the high point of American Leadership around the world. In our 14th Season , we will look back at one of the most exciting election years in history. It should have been easier, George Bush had freed the world of Communism and managed the fall of a superpower without having the world fall into violent chaos. A truly remarkable achievement in World History.
At one point George Bush had a 91% approval rating, By the end of 1992, he would lose his reelection bid. This is that story and in it you will see the foundational beginnings of the very "America First", "Make America Great Again" movement that so dominates our politics in 2024 in the form of Donald Trump. We will watch the changing of the guard as the Vietnam Generation leads a campaign in 1992 to transfer power from the generation of leadership that won the Cold War, to those who protested the Vietnam War in the streets of America . In the forefront of that campaign we witness arguably the greatest campaigner to ever set foot on the trail in Arkansas Governor, Bill Clinton.
We invite you to come along with us on a wild ride through the high points and low moments of modern American History, in an effort to show the citizens of today that we are an amazing and resilient nation.

The Epilogue 1974 - 1994 The Re-Rise of Richard Nixon Preview
This episode is a preview of our final series on Richard Nixon. Here we begin with Gerald Ford becoming President of the United States and former President Richard Nixon heading off into exile and most likely into oblivion. It appeared he was to be sidelined and treated as a failure.
With Richard Nixon gone South Vietnam was cast aside and collapsed into a Communist hell. The Watergate Defendants were convicted and Nixon himself was saved from prison by a pardon. It appeared the Special Prosecutor's and the Nixon haters had won, proving their point that Nixon was little more than a criminal and horrible failure as President.
As we have shown, time has not been kind to that storyline of the Watergate Scandal. But long before that fact became as clear as it is today, the grateful American people of the era were ready to forgive Richard Nixon for his perceived crimes, his efforts on our nation's behalf became more and more appreciated, and he was welcomed back to the national scene in the final 17 years of his life. His image even received an ovation at the 1992 Republican National Convention.
By the time of Richard Nixon's death in April of 1994, he bore the distinction of being seen by the American people as a beloved elder statesman whose opinions about the world were sought out everywhere. This is that story as we share with you those moments that changed people's opinion of President Richard Nixon, from a blockbuster interview, to the welcome of a small town in Kentucky, to the Oxford Student Union, to being welcome wherever in the world he chose to go. It was yet another remarkable rise from the ashes for a President who deserves to be ranked as one of the greatest to ever hold the office.
