- Moderated by NBC 5's Meredith Land, Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush Hager ddiscuss their new book, Sisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life.
This event is a part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center Engage public speaker series.
I was thrilled by the humanity, compassion, intellect of Jenna and Barbara. It speaks highly of their parents as well.
May they be blessed.
I always felt Laura Bush was a classy lady. I’m a democrat but loved her as First Lady!
54:35 Never seen anybody cry so gracefully in public. Beautiful hearts!
Beautiful, heart felt and honest stories, each on an individual character and I love how she speaks of her sister. So lovingly, so protective and her sister appreciates that. Their is reciprocation and I loved how their Dad would encourage them through hard times and just be / listen. Happy Anniversary to Mr. & Mrs. Bush and yes, people have their own perceptions, always but you don't need to worry about that. It's what's real that counts and we can see the love and fun they have together and the honest to goodness caring they have for each other. Lucky ladies.
I am from England and could not have experienced life more different than you, but this is the first time i ever heard of you two. I was intrigued bc i was always led to believe that your father was evil. I’m 56 and totally stunned that i can change a long held belief so quickly. You are amazing. No way could your Father be all that and have such beautiful souls in his children. I’m the mother of twins. A boy and a girl and an elder son. It was difficult and I’m seeing now all my mistakes are coming back to haunt me. It’s awful. So I must have been projecting my own failings on to your Father. I loved every second of this video. I’m very sick at the moment and you cheered me up so much I got the strength to get out of bed and go to see my home. Something I was incapable of doing for over two weeks. Wow.

Thank you for this wonderful interview that I just heard with Jenna and Barbara Bush. It was very fun and enlightening and I now understand so much more about the whole Bush family, who they were and who they have become in the current scene of our United States of America. I was enthralled at the humor that they all displayed and their cohesion and love as a family. It was refreshing and enlightening. I myself, though I was born in Calif and raised in Idaho, lived in Texas from 2006 through 2008 and I totally bonded with Texas and Texans. I loved their wild attitude about "we could withdraw anytime from the Union and just might do so and call ourselves The Lone Star State. I felt like and acted like a Texan when I was there. I still have my shirt that my friend, Dan Polk gave me that says, "We Don't Dial 911 In Texas", and I wear it proudly! My great friend and Co- Humanitarian, Nancy Newman and I created "The Humanity Philanthropic Foundation around the year 2000. The stated purpose or Mission Statement is "To Elevate Humanity and the Cultures of Earth Through Education, The Arts and Other Valid Technologies. I cooked up the idea name and mission statement because, being an Anthropologist trained at the University of Colorado (BA) and The University of the Americas in Mexico City
Such lovely young women! So grounded, articulate, confident, funny and heartfelt. So refreshing in today's world of self-involved young people. This is a beautiful, loving family and a true example of a strong family dynamic. I would like to be adopted! LOL
I really enjoyed this interview. I look forward to reading the book and appreciate the lessons shared here. While I didn’t vote for George W. Bush, I do feel he and Laura have raised women who are strong and successful and a testament to their family values.
How utterly refreshing these ladies are. As grounded as can be despite such an extraordinary upbringing. I've been reading and watching everything I can get my hands on since their grandmother's passing. Can't wait to buy the book.
I love you Jenna! I just found this. Feel like I just met your beautiful sister watching this too. Your book is on my Christmas list!❤️
First Class Sisters from a First Class Family!!! I adore them 💖💖
Ohhhhhhh, how I miss this type of leadership, too!!!!!! ❤️🙏🏽
They’re beautiful inside & out!

So beautiful! I’m exactly a week younger then the Bush Ladies and grew up watching their headline-creating antics. I did not know much about them, but always felt badly that they were under such a microscope. I would’ve hated someone judging me as a young adult, and I was even a bit boring. As we’ve gotten older, I have deeply enjoyed watching Jenna blossom as a correspondent for NBC and while I knew Barbara was working in the health care field, I had no idea she had created such an accomplished nonprofit! This book is such an amazing tribute to not only Laura and George W. Bush, but to the entire Bush clan. Celebrating family is essential in our current culture. And as the ladies mentioned, it’s fantastic that they wrote a book where they’re uplifting one another. Because of our countries current climate, women need to band together and create bonds of strength, support, encouragement and love. This book is just that. And Thank You for taking the time to “be revealing” 😉.
Ps. Mr Man is the name of my brother and SIL’s cat. So you’re story caused me to crack up!!!!!

Pure class. Thank you for representing our beloved state so well. Only a true Texan knows what it it is like to be a part of this family
Love these ladies!!! Enjoyed this very much and President and Mrs. Bush must be very proud!!!! Diane
Excellent! 👏 Thank you all. God bless you more... 🙏🏿
Jenna's ending had me, a retired late 60's man tearing up. Well Done Bush sisters!❤👍❤
@Judy Ashlock is
Well done. The Bush family will always be in our hearts.We sure wish you were still in our offices!

Now I really want to read their book! Both seem like independent accomplished young women with a solid sense of humor. What surprises me is how different they are. I wish they'd been asked if they ever socialized with other Presidents' kids.
I wonder who the one eyed man is??? God is the only winner hear demon
Beautiful . I am so glad I watch this . I want your book .
barabara is so classy and lady like. her beauty is more than just physical. what a classy lady and a wonderful example for all women, but especially for younger women to aspire to be like.
I think Barbara as the Bush sister is one of the prettiest first daughters.
Hey! seemed liked Just-In-Time delivery of compassion and the special bond between us all, siblings!
no pun intended, wish you all the best,
I'd love to give it a read,
Ali
Simply put, wonderful to hear from Barbara and Jenna....Love
This family is the epitome of class.
A national treasure.
...and, boy oh boyyyyy, do I miss their example in office!!
Ever seen the footage of the envelopes at the funeral?
Good actress. Wait until you learn what this family has done.
It's all an act for TV. See the funeral footage of the envelopes their grandpa left for his family.
This is so revealing....they are great
What fabulous young ladies! Now I understand Michelle Obama's sentiments regarding Barbara and Jenner being their for Sasha and Maila. What great women these two are.
Very classy gestures to show the Obama girls the White House. That transition of power exemplifies what a leaving president should do for the next president
Ikr
Unlike trump
Except that Sasha and Malia have a different mind set, because they’re Democrats.
Then again, there just might be hope for them if Barbara and Jenna are there for them, maybe?

Amazing sisters...love both of you..
Thank you for such motivating stories. Lovely...
First class sisters!
I think there were lots of us judgmental at their mistakes when they were young. Truly unfair but both are exceptional women I have grown to really like and our former president as well.
I love this family and especially fond of the relationship Jenna and Barbara have as sisters and friends. My sister isn’t my twin but she is my Best Friend. Thank you girls for sharing pieces of your lives with us by writing this book.
It is 2019 and I am seeing this interview for the first time. Such a beautiful family!
Love! LOVE! LOVE! "Dad & Mom each holding their very beaitiful twin baby girl"! FOREVER AND ALWAYS....Always & 5Ever With Such Love🥰🥰🥰🥰💫💫💫💫🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇 I so need to get Jenna & Barbaras Book! The Loving Protective memories of their Dad & Mom stories, love, laughter, solid gold! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS "Barbra & Jenna Bush as their loving parents applaud, them forward! Wow! What a Beautiful Family😇🥰😇🥰😇🥰A Legacy Of Loving Laughing Nurturing Praying Together...No matter the Distance🥰💖💫🙏💖💫💖💫🙏
wow. so beautiful! Can't wait to read it and give it to one of my sisters.
Harmony of siblings, harmony of the families to support each other’s efforts often will make a more prosperous future. Harmony of a nation as a great country America by America’s own established principles of Foundation and Constitution always surely will make a great country of safety, prosperity, and unity in a civilized country for freedoms, entrepreneurship spirit and equality of opportunities. Very cute pictures and interesting interview and admiring twin sisters Gina and Barbara Bush.
This was very, very good. It made me cry at the very last.
These are 2 wonderful sisters and role models . Jenna speaks alot like her mom .
A wel b complet the presiden
I have triplets and two are girls. I hope that someday, they will have as much sisterly love for each other as these two do. 🥰
I like these two ladies. They have matured and have great senses of humor. I feel old because I remember them using fake id’s. I wasn’t much older. Terrific gals..
LOL, that's what I think of when I see them: teens using fake IDs to get drinks, and thinking that being the daughters of the President would go unnoticed.
I didn't vote for either GH Bush or GW Bush, but they sure have a great family, and both girls became accomplished young women. I like that they don't seem to rely on their parents' fame.
Loved their authenticity! 🤗🤗 Love their family!!😊
Than take times & look care about them, so longer Parents are still of Life...........! Be stronger
love you boys and enjoyed the read
They are twins. One is more outgoing and the other is quieter one. Both Gena and Barbara Love to help a better society with their own kind nature just as their parents the former President Bush 43 and the former 1st Lady Laura Bush as well as their grandparents the former President Bush 41 and 1st Lady Barbara Bush. Both of them are very beautiful and down to earth typed ones. Wish them the best. Let’s forgive each other this time and unite together again by our generosity forgiveness and kindness nature this time and unite together again and get important things done quickly by our country America’s principles and greatness afterward together.
It’s never easy to be a President’s life. It’s even harder to be children of the President. Surely it’s the situation for every President and their families to bare such burdens.
It makes my day to see Former President Bush and his beautiful wife Barbara in the audience. Love you .....Pat
Birds of the feather flock together. Yes genetically and also in identical twins.
It runs in families. No mystery there.
Life is just to love and to be Loved ❤️💜 Love alone can Conquer the World.
Wow, so good. As a sister tears

I'm a democrat but I very much love this Bush family, they're just such a beautiful and blessed family.
I adore these two girls. So funny and sweet.
That’s where that sound is coming from?
You've had a pretty wild life so far, girls. I have three daughters who all get on with one another and they have a brother who'd do anything for them. How can we get a copy of your book? In Australia?
Loved this.
Much respect and adoration to the Bushes.
Meredith Land never changes, always beautiful. Two professional sisters making their parents proud. I remember selling my house. I felt like that young girl protecting her home. Perhaps Laura dressed young Jenna in mustard because she wanted a Welch to marry a French and own the condiment aisle

george bush twin daughters are smart intelligents and humor their idioms and aphorism expression just like their dad
No one will be able to never make mistakes, I guess, either family members or others from society. My parents allowed me to make mistakes. Unfortunately my parents had to leave us to Hong Kong when I was only 11 years old. I was the youngest one within 7 siblings. Much older siblings although were nice, but won’t like to see a little one to make mistakes sometimes. Often people will learn from mistakes and grow up by learning experiences from mistakes for sure and understand more and do better gradually always. Also have gradually learned own generosity forgiveness and kindness, appreciation to other’s helps, or any good things and help self to make less mistakes by own sincerity, patience, principles and decency. There is no easy things, only to try our own very best, I guess. Let’s reunite together again by our grace and decency nature as generosity, forgiveness and kindness toward each other’s service and mistakes this time and reunite together and get things done quickly together by supporting each other again for our country America’s greatness. Thanks for the sharing and very interesting learning experiences. Miss President Reagan and President Bush 41. RIP.
Jenna is the talker Barbara is quiet but gorgeous.
Hard to differentiate their voices.They sound very similar
Love your remarkable stories
Does Jenna ever let Barbara talk?
Very special!
I watch you Jenna with Hoda!! I think l would like to read yalls Book very much!! Your Parents are in the Audience CRACKING UP...LOL. LOVE IT

Great interview
So Refreshing to See A Normalcy From Former President Bush’s Daughters‼️Awe…..🤗🤗
These girls are funny and intelligent.
Jenna Bush is hillarious naturally.Barbara seemed shy.
Where is Barbara’s Texas accent? Jenna’s got a super strong accent like her parents
My dad the same as your dad and the same as me.
In the words of Irving Berlin, "Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister!"
Something about an identifiable vioce that may be character.
I'm twin and so I can relate to you and I will look for your book
I'm so glad I came across this wonderful interview of these loving devoted sisters. TH-cam can be so informative and this was delightful and interesting. It reminds me of our very slight acquaintance of the Bush family. We received yearly Christmas cards from George and Laura during their Governor years and watched you girls grow up. My husband was the President of a Teachers Organization in Texas, TCTA, and ask Barbara Bush to deliver the keynote speech at one of the meetings. Because we have always voted for the Bush family and are registered Republicans she graciously accepted his invitation. I was privileged to sit at the head table between Barbara Bush and my husband, who I consider as important as the First Lady. She was delightful and I felt like I had made a new friend. She complimented me for my eyeglasses and before the meal was finished she had tried them on. Her program was like a campaign speech because George was running for President. She apologized for that and I assured her that devotion to one’s husband is the highest honor a wife can give her husband. That dinner was probably the most satisfying time of my life. I cherish the Thank You note she penned so much in her handwriting. Her passing saw me shed tears of sorrow I didn't know I possessed. I cannot wait to purchase and read her granddaughter’s new book. It makes my heart swell with pride to see their lives so successful.
Ya know, I'm ok with voting for bush his 1st run! Now we've experienced Trump!! What a not normal life, yet still weren't getting paid, because dad was president! Dad was there through 9/11 and I think you did a great job pulling us together. Can you believe how divided we are now!
Thank you for sharing the Love. I appreciate it. I love you, too. But with T in the White House, I voted my conscience. I can't believe what we've done. Nevertheless, you and your husband still show me you are not like that. Thank you.
Ii love Traci from Denton, Texas

my ladies,
you may be overthinking trivial things, I wish you stop,
at your service,

Love you both Gena and Barbara! Almost no one can be richer than Bill Gates and Melinda Gates in the world, but they are very generous to help out always. Very less leaderships can have more Governing experiences than the former President Reagan and former President Bush 41, but they are very humble, generous and kind to others always. Gena and Barbara grew up from a family with the former President Bush 41 as grandfather and former President Bush 43 as father, but both of them are very down to earth, sentimental and easygoing typed people that one is very straight forward and blunt accompanied with a very soft heart. The other one is quiet shy and patient with her beating heart. It’s very interesting that both of them are twins of similarities and much difference too.
Mr. Goerge W Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush you are very wise and Funniest parent.
👍
God bless you guys
Glory twins. God bless you all.
wonderful
