Presidents and the others, was it as jarring to you, having seen nixon up close. i would have imagined he would have called. what do you make of it? >> i think any other president would have acted in a different way. its not just what he didnt do or what he did do in terms of his tweets, its that he has no comprehension of the danger that his words have caused. anyone who thinks that his saying lets fight the protesters, lets beat them up. those things have consequences. its time for us to hold ...

Campaign back in 2000. we have a picture there of you, jonathan, interviewing senator mccain. but you wrote about that and i told you when i saw you here in the studio, that it was a beautiful tribute, your recollections, such great color. i want to quote something that you wrote, which i want you to then jump off on, your description of him. up close, mccain was a throwback to that loveably irascible 1950s dad who told you to get off his lawn before offering you a beer and a war story you would...

Just by the way he was dressed. no shirt, wearing shorts. as soon as he saw me, he was on the trail here, he ran over here, jumped in the raft and went back south. >> reporter: back up the clearing, no sign of the migrant families. but a quarter mile up the road, there they are. up close, we can see theyre tired, sweating and confused. and right there in his mothers arms, a baby. his name is angel. his mother says shes been traveling for a month, starting in honduras. i ask her about taking ange...

From, and knowing, they should feel free to decide what they want to do from there. >> jose: before you kill them, they give them a local grappa to get them drunk so the meat gets tender. >> anthony: its the least you can do. >> jose: exactly. >> anthony: here, right here on joses family farm, is where i saw my first animal die. a pig too, this after years and decades of being a chef, serving meat, ordering up my death over the phone at a comfortable distance. up close, it was not so comfortable...

>> reporter: the white house is saying about the meeting that it was the presidents chance to have an opportunity and an audience with these senators and he came in with a full plate of things to talk about. and i am told that he spent most of the time essentially fi filibustering, talking about the 2018 agenda, the potential historic summit with kim jong un next month in singapore and talking about the 2018 mid-term elections and other parts of the agenda. he was not coming in to talk about joh...

And you knew where she stood a lot of issues. what was striking was the love affair between barbara bush and hw bush and she said i married the first man i ever kissed and she said when i told it to my children they just about throw up. she had a lot of humor. on this date is important to remember that 41, hw bush held her hands all day. according to staff, he was there throughout the day and was there when she passed. he is being stoic and strong, lifted up by a large and supportive family but ...
