focus. welcome to the book the sneak up on the w. i m pablo funniest much day ten is done with dorothy still league leaders fest gets right to it and see what s coming up in the show. so not a soul glove buff take on struggling just adore fans months go head to head with fragment will have. all the highlights. and we ll be discussing an explosive report in german media at that bar in munich had been planning to leave the bundesliga. and i ll be getting to the bottom of those reports with my two guests this week former blunders leader midfielder michel didn t say hello and d.-w. very abundantly to reporter tom get more. great to have both of you on the show but before we get down to business there were a couple of games on sunday that we need to take a look at. mention went into sunday s clash with struggling just the door of knowing a win would mean leap frogging reigning champions byron munich into a second a string of victories came to a crashing halt last weekend when the folds lost to freiburg was a just a brief bump in the road for let s take a look. the only fire the local da became in the stands in the on the. clock back found it hard to break down a pack of defense they were reduced to a few shots from distance and the home fans were not amused at half time. there was also a whistle at the start of the second period this time from the referee. i hand was a judge to handle the ball replay showed it had been a strike decision. told and has did the right eye and midway through the second half i had was again the fall guy with a poor pass. that back took full advantage and eunice hoffman made it through now. the photos were coasting to victory and has not scored a third after eighty two minutes. the hosts win the dove easily just go off in the dumps. not live up to second. well braman have been one of the surprises of the season coming into the weekend in fourth place they needed a win to stay in the mix at the top while minds just need points mind didn t look like a team that hadn t run in seven games johnson not to put them in front just twenty five minutes and punish the pass of the stands and shaun phillipe cracking strikes from distance doubled my answers advantage shortly after the break . cloud g.o.p. several made it a game in the seventy eighth minute but it wasn t enough to rescue a point from bremen and as to. how i m joined this evening by former bundesliga midfielder michel didn t say i and tom get more from d w sports to talk about the biggest stories from match day ten now the bundesliga has been somewhat haunted by reports that bar new nick has. leaving the division as part of plans to establish a european super league and i want to ask you michelle why would the german champions even consider this i don t think that s a good idea of the chorus all the big clubs in europe they receive money more money and what about the small teams a small club so they have to think about it even if you see now how they split the money it s not good enough for the small teams small clubs so that s why i don t think it s a good idea what they think about it too to leave the german bundesliga because they have to stay there. will be should you back eventually which is quite important tom want to bring you into a small clubs of course this potential you know decision that they might come to it s own point they ve denied or everybody s got a lot of people worried about the future of football in germany tell us about some of their reactions certainly will yeah i mean like you say a lot of people are worried about the future of german football now it ought to be said that by and have distance themselves from this they said they re not going to be leaving the bundesliga they said they committed to playing in the wind is legal but naturally a lot of people are worried and the fact that they even considered this is an option you know is that having a look which has got people a little bit frightened about what might happen that the sporting director of sport director part of me of one of us said basically if they want to go good riddance they should they should leave the winners the if they want to but if they want to come back they ll have to start in the fourth division people obviously quite angry because what you re saying the show you know there already is stratification in european football when the big clubs get a lot of money. already from the champions league the small clubs can get hold of we re going to hear in fact from the get go panga the secretary general of the european professional football league association to talk just a little bit about the champions league money that s flowing already to the bigger clubs. but it s what we re talking about billions the top ten clubs in the champions league earn around one billion euros a season and it s destroying the structures of the domestic league. so there you go so michelle is it true that the footballing elite it s just too good and too rich for the competition because we ve seen bar and ruthlessly dominating the bundesliga for years ok maybe not this season so far but for the last number of years essentially that they ve been controlling the top of the boom this late and rich if you re rich you get. more and more money and an end of the day you don t think comfortable but because it s in who you want to see every week you want to see bayamon against barcelona all you want to like to see bayamon against better braman or something like that so i think after a while it will be boring for everybody and expensive because not everybody can pay the ticket the ticket to move to england on something like that you have to you have to think about the pool people who wants to watch the game in the stadium and i don t think so that environment by a minute can can can leave because the bonus league is also by atlantic so they have to keep everything together yeah exactly and i want to tom i mean michelle has mentioned many points there that are sort of worrying fans oppose and also the fact that would it get boring what would happen are barn unit where they are because of the fact that they play with teams like brain and implant teams like hanover and teams like dortmund week in week out in reality who wins and who loses well i mean touched on a few of the news is already first of all is the fans. the fans of by munich stand to lose quite a lot because they re not going to be able to go and watch the team play against barcelona or you ventus every week they re also going to be bored stiff who wants to see those games you know you know want to see your team playing the same opponents over and over again. and you want to be able to go into the stadium and watch now the other clubs in the business league of course also lose because they re going to be excluded from this competition now if at the end of the day these things come into being despite. listing the news s because there s so much money involved at the end great wins and you know the already exists and restrictions and some laws on how the revenues from champions league money have to be distributed among domestic leagues. so we can hear actually from bar munich s corporate lawyer and see just how seriously the people in those positions take the restrictions that already exist to benefit smaller clubs. i m being frank about this message to you a fit was clear we don t need you we need to do this in order to strengthen opposition in negotiations. well big words there considering their performance this weekend in the bundesliga will say in the league so far would you say the bar munich are in a crisis whoa you know it s hard to say they have they have won a few games recently they didn t lose but of course they drop points one hundred that was the first time since nineteen or three seven that s happened it s just not really clicking for carve outs at the moment now. i think perhaps in a crisis of support there was a instagram post yesterday from lisa millar who in the seventieth minute complained about the strategy noting that it s i can invite long to come to the inspiration oh there we go you can see it now on the screen is sort of a of course you know my mother s wife being thomas miller s wife exactly that she is openly complaining about that she s tactics now of course she s just you know back in her husband s corner she has since apologized and we re told that coach has since been accepted her apology you know those on the signal was their club. you know on top of their game ever would be sending out well they re certainly not on top of their game michelle what do you think or where do you think is going wrong i mean it is a crisis. i think everybody is happy that the situation is like that in a moment with by a minute because remember the first six six seven games by many was winning all of the all of the games and there was on top on the table so everybody stands on knowledge in the seven times the champions and that but for me i m very happy about the situation right now the course the league is open even if thought manas first whatever so but on your question is i think evil got to start in the beginning to say for example noir mila all robin you are my leaders and in a team you have to be leaders so an icon see any any leader in the team at the moment seoul and between new young players and older players i don t think so that everything is quite well in the team and they have to have to change he has to change everything in this team well we ve been talking a lot. their position of course in the table i think what we really do is take a look at the table after match day ten and dortmund are still top but now with a four point lead and look mentioned move up to second ahead of munich you can frankfurt both move up following their wins this weekend and down the other end freiburg mines and shall go all move up well down the bottom stuttgart make up the bottom two. so there are just four points separating dortmund and byron so they go head to head next weekend i m going to go straight to michelle how do you see that game going i really hope to see those high speed football what they showed us already next week in money and if they do it if they bring us everything on the pitch so there will be that byron may easily well it s going to be one of those big games tom in europe is he going to be excited like all other bull in this league of fans what about you have is that game for dormant and also. both minute now and he sees it obviously this is one of the biggest games and for both teams at the moment is so much riding on it you know we ve been saying by and have been winning games but not necessarily that convincingly. that she s under a lot of pressure and this is probably the best opponent that he s faced during his time and dortmund you know that this is such a brilliant about the moment now but this is going to be the real test of a living tell you something i think more pressure i think you re right but i ve been told this till the cows come home we re going to have to leave it there so we before you go let me remind you about our goal of the month competition be sure to submit your vote via email right to the. dot com you can also watch those goals again on social media there are the

grandfather, father, and i think you will be remembered while ine history of this country. shannon: i think you ares ast and director of central intelligence, among many other things. tonight he is gone. shannon: if you are joining us, breaking news coverage of the death of president george h.w. bush. i m shannon bream at fox news world headquarters in new york. president bush 41 has died. he was 94, the oldest president in u.s. history. bush 41 spent the summer at his home in kennebunkport, maine. condolences and fond memories are pouring in from presidents, former advisors, and well wishes from around the world. he s being remembered as a statesman, an icon of the greatest generation, and one-of-a-kind. bret baier looks back at the life of this american hero. for a new breeze is blowing, and a world refreshed by freedom seems reborn, for in man s heart, if not, in fact, the day of the dictator is over. bret: george bush as hard as test as president was giving the green light for operation desert storm. but he is credited with rescuing the tiny, oil-rich nation of kuwait from saddam hussein s million man army of iraq. the forge george herbert walker bush took his first step into the white house, he learned to walk in kennebunkport, maine. during to born june 12th, 1924, and the town of milton, massachusetts, to a family alrey deeply involved in public service, he was the second of five children to dorothy and senator prescott bush. with high school behind him, george was accepted at yale university, but put his education on hold. the start of the second world war beckoned him to serve his country instead. in 1942, george bush celebrated his 18th birthday by enlisting in the u.s. naval reserve. within a year, he was ensign bush, the youngest fighter pilot in the navy. taking part in 58 combat missions in the pacific theater, bush was flying his plane on a special bombing mission over china when he was shot down by the japanese and was forced to bail out at sea. he survived, though his crew did not. i m floating around in his raft, paddling, and then all of a sudden, saw this tower come up and saw the submarine service. bret: by the end of the war inside, bush set his sights on barbara peers. the two wed in 1945 while bush was still in the navy. they would have six children, including our 43rd president, george w. bush, and popular florida governor, jeb. bush left the navy and graduated yale before he and barbara moved to texas to find his dreams on an oil field. by the age of 30, he was cofounder and president of zapata offshore, which pioneered experimental drilling equipment. but just like his father, bush was attracted to public service and politics. after losing his first political race for a senate seat in 1964, he was elected to the house of representatives two years later, serving two terms, encouraged by richard nixon to run again for the senate in 1970, he was defeated a second time. he moved on to high government positions. in 1971, richard nixon appointed him ambassador to the united nations, and in 1973, he became chairman of the republican national committee at the height of the watergate scandal. in that role, bush urged nixon to resign for the good of the party. i shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. bret: president gerald ford sent bush to china as chief of the u.s. liaison office. a short time later, he called him home to be director of the cia, and bush was credited with bringing morale back to that agency. bush left in 1977, when president carter entered the white house. by 1979, he was ready to get back into the political ring. ladies and gentlemen, i am a candidate for president of the united states. [applause] bret: bush was seen as a moderate alternative to ronald reagan, but dropped out of the presidential campaign after poor primary performances. a short time later, he accepted reagan s offer to be his running mate. reagan won in a landslide. during his eight years as vice president, bush was credited with softening reagan s view of the soviet union and pressed hard on issues like deregulation and the war on drugs. international progression, bush became the republican party nominee in 1988 with senator dan quayle from indiana as his running mate. the republican team defeated massachusetts governor michael dukakis and texas senator lloyd benson. i, george herbert walker bush, do solemnly swear. bret: during his president, the soviet union dissolved, the berlin wall fell, and manuel noriega was arrested, securing the panama canal. everything came to a head when iraq s saddam hussein invaded neighboring kuwait. we are not walking away until our mission is done, until the invader is out of kuwait! bret: president bush reacted quickly, committing over 400,000 u.s. troops, and building a strong coalition of allies. operation desert storm had begun. the majority of america supported the president s decision to throw saddam hussein back into iraq and bush s popularity rating hit an all-time high. most thought he was unbeatable for a second term. but a broken campaign promise. read my lips: no new taxes: to. bret: would come back to haunt the 41st president. in the fall of 1992, with the war a distant memory, george bush lost reelection to former arkansas governor bill clinton. bush traveled to kuwait to commemorate the gulf war in 1993. an assassination plot on his life was uncovered by bush was unharmed. it was later discovered the part of poorly orchestrated plan was the work of the iraqi intelligence service. the kuwaiti court would convict all but one of the defendants. bush retired to texas with barbara, getting in a few rounds of horseshoes and celebrating countless birthdays buy birthdays by parachuting out of planes. spending time with her family in maine and reliving memories of when he was a boy. i can honestly say that the three most rewarding titles bestowed upon me are the three that i have got to left: husband, father, and granddad. bret: while retired, his life was active until the end. joining forces with former political flow bill clinton to raise money for the victims of their 2004 indian ocean tsunami, and hurricane katrina in 2005. the former presidents formed a close friendship, continuing their charity work and enjoying annual lunches at busch s home in kennebunkport and using his experience and insights to serve as a quiet advisor to his eldest son, the 43rd president. here, attending george w. bush s presidential library dedication in 2013, and sharing a few words. glad to be here. god bless america and thank you very much. [applause] bret: bush even kept up with public debate by joining twitter, where he often shared photos of his colorful socks that began part of his signature look. each brought health challenges, of course. a form of parkinson s disease that left him in a wheelchair, and brief hospital stays in his 90s for pneumonia, bronchitis, and a fall in his home. but not enough to keep them out of the limelight, throwing out the first pitch before a 2016 baseball game, and pregame ceremonies months later at the super bowl in his houston home town. reuniting with his former running mate and vice president dan quayle in july, and then catching a glimpse of the rare eclipse that crossed the country alongside his family in maine in august. one of bush s last public appearances was that his beloved wife, barbara, a part of his funeral, where he met with former presidents, first ladies, and the current first lady, melania trump. he recently returned to his vacation home town of kennebunkport, maine, joining fellow veterans with a pancake breakfast before he was hospitalized. this was the first time in decades that neither he nor his wife attended the annual memorial day parade. he wrote in a tweet, i am forever grateful not only to those patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, but also the gold star families heritage is imbued with their honor and heroism. known for his maturity and straightforward approach, george h.w. bush called this country to be better in hopes of inspiring the people to be great. i think historians are going to say that we did pretty well, and that s all right for me. i m not in any rush. in heaven, let down and let them make that determination. shannon: tonight, bret baier is with us, anchor of special report in the geopolitical anchor. bret, you think about that, he talks about being in heaven, and we are all thinking about him and his reunion that he is having with his wife and their young daughter that they lost many, many decades ago. bret: shannon, tonight i m at the reagan presidential library ahead of the reagan national defense forum this weekend. behind me, air force one, where president reagan took it around the world on his vice president, george h.w. bush. i think the world will probably, as the president said, smiled down. history will tell how the world remembers the term of president george h.w. bush. but what i am struck by is the family relationship. i mean, think about this, 17 grandchildren, eight grandchildren. his oldest daughter, robin, died when she was four years old in 1953. when barbara bush died, his wif wife, there was that moment where, at the funeral, president bush was sitting in his wheelchair, doro bush, his daughter, behind him, and he is looking at the casket. it was a moment that really, i think, captured the feeling of this family, as he was saying goodbye to his wife of so many years. the other thing that captured the imagination, i think, of the american people, was a cartoon actually that barbara bush is seen going to heaven and reuniting with her daughter, 4-year-old daughter, who died, robin. now, as you look at these pictures, you think about that reunification, and you think about the love of his life who he is now with, and obviously, with robin as well. i think history will look back at president george h.w. bush is an honorable, decent man, and as a good president, who change the trajectory of the united states. shannon: certainly on the world stage. with the cold war in his foreign policy as well. we will bring in chris wallace. we want to read a tweet from jeb bush. nothing gave him his leadership taught us to be kinder and gentler, true love each other. we will miss him dearly. chris, that is going to be a very interesting conversation for this country to have. as we talked about, it will likely be very bipartisan over the next couple of days, as we remember the life of this very special man and former presiden president. chris: absolutely. there is a sense in the country now that it s a zero-sum game, that one side wins, the other side loses, and that was not the way that george h.w. bush view to life and certainly not the way he viewed politics, as i said earlier, he was very competitive, very tough, fought hard for a variety of positions, fought hard to become president, and was certainly crossed for a short time when he lost in 1992 to bill clinton. but he had a sense of the community that this country is, and there is much more that unites us than divides us, and boy, if we can have more of that conversation over the next few days as we celebrate his life and observe his death, that will be a very his last contribution to this country. i wanted to mention, shannon, there was a lot of talk today amongst people that president bush might be in trouble. we have heard this a variety of crimes, that he might be near death. he was a tough bird, and a number of times, he was hospitalized. things seemed serious. i wrote to a couple of his top staff people, one of them, jim mcgrath, his press spokesman, and i said, i hate to ask this question but is he in trouble? and he wrote a note back and basically said, it yes, he s having a tough week but he s haa lot of tough weeks and he bounces back and he then said, this morning, less than 24 hours ago, he had three eggs for breakfast and is at home resting comfortably. so the people closest to him were not at all convinced that this was going to be the end for george w. bush. i also wrote a note to a wonderful woman, really, who s been so close to him, his chief of staff, and one of the things i always got a kick out of, and i have been in touch with her over the years, since he left office, we arranged a variety of interviews, the president and all of his staff s email address was flfw.com. i always wondered what that meant. i finally figured out, former leader of free world.com. that was kind of the light way in which george h.w. bush obviously, he took the presidency seriously, but he didn t take himself seriously. the idea flfw.com was his email address. shannon: very lighthearted. we talk about just how much he loved to joke, a good punch line, even if it was that as his expense. he accomplished so much on the world stage that it s impossible to go through his entire resume and to remind people about all the things he did domestically and internationally, and what a brave navy aviator he was, going straight into the war, getting up on his dedication, getting through yale into an half years, and accomplishment for anyone. but he just kept charging and we talked about how he was a risk-taker and people remember him as somebody as we are showing him skydiving, which he loved to do, too he was somebody who was not afraid to strike out and business, and family, government. he was always, it seems, rising to a new challenge, chris. chris: i asked him about skydiving, and his decision to do that. even loud, he put not just as a lark or a personal adventure, but as a public service. he said, i am trying to send a message to old folks like him at that point, he was in his 80s. he said, you don t have to sit i remember he put it this way drool in the corner. you can get up, you can do something, maybe not skydiving with the golden nights, but you can do something, and don t put yourself in the grave before you are really there. you talk about his sense of humor, i had the great opportunity one time after i had interviewed him in houston that he invited me, and my producer, to go off and have lunch with him. and we were talking remember in 2005 after the terrible tsunami in asia, he and his son, bush 43, assigned him and bill clinton to go tour the area, and part of it was to raise money. now george h.w. bush and bill clinton did not seem like a natural fit, among other things, bill clinton had beaten bush and the 92 election. in addition, their personalities could not have been more different. president bush 41 regaled us at lunch about their trip together through southeast asia. one of the things he said was, we are so different. he loves to talk and opines about everything, and i am more measured. but a lot of what he said was very interesting and among other things, if i was having trouble talking about something, i knew that bill would fill the space. another thing that, frankly, drove him crazy about bill clinton was the fact that bill clinton, and anybody who s ever covered him do this, was always late. he would get involved in a conversation, and we always talked about operating on clinton time. they agreed that they would get up and go at let s say, 9:00 in the morning, and their trip to southeast asia, and bush would be in the car at 9:00 or maybe 8:57, and clinton ritual but he did and he said, it is clearly it clearly bothered quentin that he was always keeping bush waiting so one day at about 8:55, he came downstairs like he was going to beat bush into the limousine, taking them around, but bush, not knowing this, not doing it on purpose, had gotten in the car at 8:50. the look of disappointment on bill clinton s face when he looked in the car and he thought, this guy beat me again. the one thing that bush very much respected, they were traveling around on the presidential jet, was the deference that bill clinton showed him, and that clinton, obviously, bush considerably older, always insisted that george h.w. bush had to the presidential cabinet, sleep in the presidential bed, and clinton would find a couch on air force one, or sleep on the floor, but always paid respect. went to great pains to make sure that bush 41 was comfortable. shannon: as we watch this treasure trove of memories that we have, all these pictures and we think about you see they are the banners the kuwaiti people, and that of course was a big moment in his presidency, the coalition that the u.s. was involved within there, going into defeat the iraqis, a flash point in that region, so much that he accomplished on the international stage. we see him there with the troops, obviously having served himself, he always had a great fondness for the men and women in surveys, and he continued throughout his life to do things with the wounded warriors, well into his retirement, and ways that he hoped would inspire other people. bret, it seems that what us what he was always about, to give more, serve more, and to be better. bret: shannon, listen, you look back at his life and legac legacy, and you see these pictures of him shaking hands with troops there. think about that moment. remember that it was at that point defense secretary dick cheney, it was luminaries in his white house, george h.w. bush, rallying around him, forming a coalition that really had not been formed before on the international stage when it came to a goal number one. he was the template by which other presidents looked out and said, if i can get the world to rally around me like george h.w. bush did with gulf war one compass will be a success. if chris is still on the phone, i would love to ask him about the transition from president reagan, as we are standing here in the reagan library with air force one, where reagan traveled the world to all kinds of places. the transition from president reagan to then- then-president george h.w. bush. their relationship and how it may be, chris, you perceived that? chris: i can t say that they were close friends, and, in fact, the very fact that bush was named as vice president, if you remember, back in 1980, reagan was enamored with what i think everybody ended up thinking was a terrible idea, of a kind of copresidency was gerald ford. he was involved in negotiations in detroit at the republican national convention, and then it all fell apart. suddenly, wednesday night, they don t have a vice president. obviously, bush had run the strongest race, had gotten the most delegates, second only to reagan, and reagan come at the last minute decided, let s go with bush. so it was not his first choice but i think that they had a close political partnership, if not a close personal partnership. and lord knows, george h.w. bus george h.w. bush, and eight years, there was never a hint of any dissent, of any separate agenda, he was just utterly loyal, at least to what the public could see to ronald reagan, and reagan, i think, one, was certainly respected him, and thought, i think presidents always feel that the vice president is the one who, because of the amendment that they can only serve to regrow terms, can carry on their legacy, and at that if you get somebody from the opposite party, in this case it would have been michael dukakis, they will undo a lot of what that president has accomplished in his eight years. so reagan was very supportive of george h.w. bush, bush 41, and it was a kind of seamless transition from one to the other. it was interesting, though, there was one question, you pointed out earlier, bret, reagan was so much larger than life, in a way that bush would have admitted he wasn t, that he needed to establish a separate identity and one of the things that he did at that new orleans convention in 1988 when he became the nominee, was to talk about a kinder, gentler presidency and approach to thing prayed that that thousand points of light, to sort of establish what his agenda was going to bet different than but as something of a departure, something of a turn from reagan s agenda. bret: a lot of people, chris, don t remember the assassination attempt in april of 1993 after president h.w. bush left the white house, he went to kuwait to be commemorated for his role in the first gulf war, and there was an assassination attempt. kuwaiti authorities arrested eventually 17 people they felt were around this conspiracy to kill than the former president using a car bomb. there was a a lot of talk about possibly who was behind this. united states sent to various personnel to kuwait to investigate on their own, and they eventually came to the intelligence of the united states government concluded that iraq was behind the attempted car bombing. when we talk about president george h.w. bush we often don t talk about the assassination attempt after he leaves the white house, but it was real. chris: correct my memory, but as we are talking about this, i believe that bill clinton, his successor, then had a missile strike on baghdad on a couple of installations there as punishment for this attempt. bret: that s exactly right. chris: there was always some thought that when bush 43, his son, got involved in a rock, that there was a census obviously wasn t the prime reason, but of envision s business, like saddam hussein wt after his father, and that was perhaps in the background a motivation for bush 43. bret: i should point of that they are cleaning up for the national defense forum dinner here. so as you hear the glasses clanking behind me, that is the cleanup crew behind me for the reagan national defense forum, as they are preparing for tomorrow for you to speed when you get a little ambient noise they are a very busy night. chris, thank you very much for joining us. i want to bring in more folks with close ties to the president. we have dana perino, a former advisor to president george w. bush, and juan williams joining us now. juan, i want to start with you. we talked about the bipartisan appeal of bush 41, and he worked across the aisle, and he was willing to compromise to get things done. your thoughts on him tonight? juan: the emotion flows out of me because i was the white house correspondent during the reagan years, and one of my jobs was to travel around the country with george w. bush, especially in the 84 cycle when president reagan was up for reelection. as you have heard, they weren t particularly close, but george h.w. bush was a great, great emissary for the reagan administration, because he had been head of the republican national committee. so he knew people all across the country in every state, he could tell me names of people in an unbelievable fashion. just incredible. and we would sit together, and i remember one thing he told me, shannon, was that i should write notes to people. he would write notes, five and ten notes a day out of habit, just to stay in touch with people. certainly with all the prominent republicans around the country, but he would write to friends and people, and everybody would respond to him, not as the vice president at the time, but as george h.w. bush, somebody that they knew and felt a very personal connection to. when i had the chance to travel with him, to talk with him, i was so to this day, so impressed with him, among all the politicians i have ever met, because he was not only a war hero, but remember, he had been our first envoy sent by richard nixon to china. when i went to the olympics, i guess it was 2008 in china, i remember talking to him about china, and remember, his son, george w. bush, spent a lot of time in china because his dad had been there as the envoy. and then of course he goes on and heads the cia, the republican national committee, vice president, having previously served as a congressman, and then president of the united states. i don t think we see, if you look at it in historical terms, anybody with that level of public service commitment, experience, and, as i said to you, the greatest measure would be his personal connection to people, especially republicans come across the country. people in the party, hardworking, to build party structure throughout. he really had that kind of personal connection, that kind of political connection that i think is extraordinary in these times. people just loved him. one of the things that happen for me tonight as i heard about president bush s death as i just went to the wall, and i don t know if you can see this, but i brought with me a picture of a young version of me, and a fairly young version of president bush. and here we are on what was then air force two, traveling around the country, as i said, going to all kinds of picnics and festivals in order to help ronald reagan win reelection in 1984. and then recently, five years ago, i sent him a note and i say he was such a great note writer, and he sent me back a note. this one came from maine, from kennebunkport, and he wrote about remembering the good old days, traveling on air force two, as he said, and just wrote to some kind words to me. this was really very special. this hangs on the wall and my home here in washington. the other thing that strikes me at this moment, so emotional about him, he was one tremendous baseball player. he was captain of the yale team. as you know, his son went on to own the rangers but he is a big houston astros fan to the end. we would talk baseball now he is a left-hander, shannon. you know something about baseball, i know you were a baseball fan, and george h.w. bush was an astute i don t say this lightly, i am not trying to, you know, celebrate him in some way that is unearned but george h.w. bush could tell you about major-league players on a level that i don t think any other politician i have ever met could do. i don t think general manager manager is good talk about baseball and baseball players with the depth of understandingf the game that george h.w. bush had. so for me, it was, like, people would say, i would come back from a trip with george h.w. bush, and my wife would say, what is going on, how are you doing? i would say, here s the latest on what we can expect from the orioles and the astros and the yankees, from the very top of american political life. this guy was so extraordinary, such a statesman, and such a friend. as you said, able to work across the aisle. we have heard from bret and chris about his work with bill clinton, but you should know that even recently, you had barack obama going down to houston and stopping in to visit. and that kind of relationship, again, so extraordinary in these days, utterly polarized politics. shannon: a beautiful statement for both the obamas tonight. i want to jump in here we ll come back to the panel, and bret standing by, but because you mention the love of sports, we want to bring in sportscaster jim gray, he interviewed the former president more than 20 times. you know, jim, may be more than the rest of us, just how much he loved sports and had such a depth of knowledge, especially about the game of baseball. he loved it, he followed it. in fact, one of the great things that he used to talk about, he met babe ruth in 1948, and he used to carry around a little card from time to time and he gave me one of the signed cardst there on the screen. unfortunately at that time, mr. mr. ruth was ravaged with cancer but he was able, as the captain of the yale baseball team to be able to meet him, and it was a proud moment for him, and you saw that pitch he throughout and it always bothered president bush that he bounced that ball. he was a great baseball player in college and so when his son, george w. bush, throughout the first pitch after the terrorist attacks of september 11th, 2001, he always remembered that his father bounced the ball and how much it bothered him so when derek jeter came in and told them, don t bounce the ball, mr. president, it refresh all of those memories and president bush 43 went out and threw a perfect strike to help lift the nation to get onto some sense of normalcy. president bush sr. he also loved golf. he was a terrific fan of the game of golf. he would show up and i would interview him regularly at the ryder cups and the president,s, and his father, his grandfather, george herbert walker, created h come along with the ryder cup, one of the staples and traditions of golf. i also got to see him and play golf with president bush, 1995, a tremendous story when he golfed with president clinton and president ford. they joined bob hope and he won that day. he shot a 92. he also hit two fans that day, one off the first tea required 14 stitches and the 14th t hit a woman in the rear end. it was funny on the first one but not so funny on the 14th. it was so funny because bob hope made a living commenting how many times president ford would hit people but he beat president clinton by a stroke and president ford by seven strokes a day. let me share a little story with you from spain. we were there for the ryder cup in 1997. it was a homecoming and he came over to watch the american team, and it was pouring rain one day, and we were all scattering to get off the court, and i was in my golf cart along with the technician, the sound man, a man name jun came from nbc sports and we were driving and we saw three guys standing, one guy had a glad trash bag over his head and was soaking wet and there were two men standing behd him. i got a little bit closer and i said, that is president bush, he was standing in the pouring rain all by himself, wasn t asking anybody else for help, we gave them a ride in on the golf cart and i ll never forget he had this trash bag over him and just the humility and the decency that he had and the next day, he came back to the golf course, and on his own, was seeking out joon kim to hand him a pair of presidential cufflinks. i thought, what a remarkable, amazing man, did you something like that, because he got a ridn the golf cart. he was wonderful to be around and he loved to play golf, and fast golf. in fact, he was so touched and love the fact that all arnold palmer told him that he had been a great contributor to the game of golf, that not everyone is like jack nicklaus, who can play for hours and hours, and president bush love the fact tht arnold palmer told him it was great for the game that he played in two hours or two and half hours. bret: hey, jim, it s bret baier. you are right, the bushes played fast. i only played with them once, brit hume used to play with them a lot in maine. they could move it on the golf course. they did. it was boom, boom, boom. they enjoyed it but they wanted to do it fast. he would concentrate, and those split seconds, and he could hit some good golf shots, but to hi, it was a form of relaxation, a form of a challenge, and he used to always tell me how much he could learn about other people by playing golf with them and if they were really slow, they didn t get an invitation back again. i was also honored, bret, in 1999 at brookline at the country club, and nbc, we were televising the ryder cup, and president bush had come on many times with me to do interviews and i saw him. they were there to support ben crenshaw because he was from austin, texas, and they were living in texas, obviously, and i ask, could i interview president bush and he said, sure. barbara bush walked up to me and said, why are you i was interviewing the old man? get over the old man. she pointed over to george w and she said, that guy is going to be running for president, the governor of texas. why don t you put him on? i said, sure, can we do the whole family? so we did the whole family. it was kind of fun to be told, or kidded no more prodded by mrs. bush, and so we interviewed them both together, and jeb was also part of it, and president george w. bush was able to speak to the team, and they rallied for the greatest comeback in history of the ryder cup. he was the governor at the time, and ben crenshaw and the guys came back and won at brookline and president george h.w. bush the other day, i ask him the next day if, in fact, he was the one that was able to rally them and he was way too humble, and said, i just gave them a few words of encouragement, i will not take credit for those. bret: listen, this is a sports family. obviously, talking about golf, baseball, president h.w. bush s prolific baseball career in college, george w. bush owns a baseball team. there was pride in sports. it meant a lot to them. did you ever get a sense when you were talking to him about these moments, throwing out the first pitch, flipping the coin of the super bowl, how much these things meant to him? it meant an awful lot to him. i remember talking to him at the final four in houston and he was a great friend and such a mentor and a confidant with jim nantz, the greatest broadcaster from cbs, and he wrote about him extensively in his book and they spent countless hours and days together and i believe he had come in part to some of these final fours because he wanted to spend some time with jim nantz. he was always agreeable and i remember john thompson, the great basketball coach from georgetown, had never met president bush, even though he had coached at georgetown during the time that president bush was in office and it was like a hole that he did not have because he did not have that one photograph with president bush, so i walked him over at halftime, and president bush was just so instead of the honor being for john thompson, it was the honor for president bush to be able to receive him and to spend five or 6 minutes before he had to go back on the air. sports meant an awful lot to him. in 2005, i got to interview both president clinton and president bush on the field in jacksonville before they flipped a coin for the game, the super bowl game in jacksonville, they went out and flipped it together. they had worked on the hurricane relief efforts together, and the earthquake efforts that they had gone and become a team and so they teamed up and came and flipped the coin. you could just tell that president bush really, really cared about sports. he called me one time after the mike tyson ear biting, and he wanted to know what kind of a guy mike tyson was. i said, he s wonderful to be around, and he had made a despicable, horrible mistake and incident that night, but a just break into so much that i thought that tyson was wonderful and he said, i don t want to judge him. he s a great boxer. he was really interested in so many different sports, and had a genuine love. it was great to be around. i asked him how many games he would watch in the white house and he said we have a pretty good satellite system, bret and shannon. i watched quite a bit of it. shannon: one of the perks of being in the white house. bret: your reflections are great. thank you. he was a wonderful man. i was lucky to spend the time with him and he was a joy, he was a joyous guy who was very, very humble. decency beyond belief. shannon: quite a combination, along with all the leadership and accomplishment. i want to show you briefly a video coming into us a short time ago for my neighbor who stopped by the gates to the bush neighborhood there. they placed an american flag and flowers. the neighbors said they wanted to come by, saying she was saddened by the loss. they spoke very highly of the bush family, and talked about the fact that she said there were people who were good people, they knew them as neighbors, had the utmost respect for them, and just wanted to stop by and play something there at the gate. we can only imagine in the coming days, that will ramp up even more. we want to bring dana perino back end, and we ve gotten reaction from former secretary of state condoleezza rice tonight. she talked about the deep, broad legacy of president h.w. bush, and she says, he s finished his race with honor and dignity tonight, dana. dana: had a chance to see condoleezza rice a couple of weeks ago and she relayed a story about working for him in the white house, if you ll recall, shannon, she was a national security advisor not the head advisor, but she was on the nsc, and she was responsible for all things soviet union. when it was announced the wall was going to be coming down, they all went to him and said, mr. president, we have to get ready, you must go to europe, you must have this moment, and he said, i m not going. they said, but sir, you were leading this charge, and they said, what am i going to do there? dance on the wall? this is their moments. let them have this moment. i m not going to go and try and hog the spotlight out there. it was decisions like that, maybe at the moment might sound, oh, he s being modest, but i think there was a strategy also to the modesty. and juan williams brought up the writing of the notes, the other thing condoleezza rice talked about at that event was how george w. bush found it important and easy to make friendships with leaders all over the world. he would congratulate them about things he read in the news, and the reason he did that is because when he needed them to rally around them, around the united states, building a coalition, they would always take the call, they would show up and help america, and i think a lot of that had to do with a personal diplomacy. it s a really good lesson for all of us to remember. he used to say, don t ever let your first call to somebody be when you ask for something. that is one of the lessons that i took away from him, shannon. shannon: the fact that juan went on and on, about the personal notes, i got one wants, and it is something that you savor. at such an old-fashioned, beautiful courtesy, and it is ultra-special thing that takes a moment of your time but will change someone s life, that you would do something so personal. i want to bring in anita mcbrien, you worked for more than one bush administration, many capacities, you oversaw personnel for this president, bush 41. your thoughts tonight? my heart is just broken and crushed but we knew this day was coming. he always sort of rallied and got past, difficult times with his health, but what a remarkable life, and for all of us that had the great privilege to work in the white house with him, and with president reagan. these are two incredible examples for young people, like myself, my husband who i met, and his personal aide as vice president, they drove a million miles together. he typed a lot of the notes on the plane, my old children have notes from him when they were born. he just touched us all, not only as young professionals learning from these incredible leaders of such dignity and service, but also how he so personally touched each of our lives. shannon: we ve got bret baier with us, too. i think he has a question for fr you. bret: listen, i think you talk about it, anita, the service to the country, and think about that this was the last living former president who was a world war ii vet, someone who served their country for all of his life, volunteered after pearl harbor, decided not to go to college, to get into the military, after the attack on pearl harbor. talk about, i guess, in the wake of his life, what do you think his legacy will be and perhaps what people should take from it. it is such a great point that you raise, bret. i think when you think about george h.w. bush, you think you picture that photograph of him as that young naval aviator, and him being rescued, of course, when has plane went down, and how young he was to take on that level of responsibility and devotion to the country, that it was just so natural for him, without a doubt, growing up of course, and a family that was a family of service. also a family of great humility, and you know how he often said how his mother would always tell him, don t brag about what you do, just do it. and i think that is such a wonderful as i said to shannon a wonderful example for those of us who work in washington, worked in the white house, work in public service, that i hope is something that they treasure and now is remarkable and people who take up the leadership mantle of our country. bret: brad blakeman is with us, i go back to the world war ii time, the youngest aviator, brad, in the u.s. navy, 1944, september 2nd, his plane shot down, rescued in the pacific ocean. he rejoins his squadron. he received several honors from the military and from his country and often times, as we talk about george h.w. bush, we focus on his time as president. but it was much more than that. it was. i was with him, we had one of our largest sea battles, the first time he had been back to that area probably since he was shot down. one of the few times i saw him shed a tear as he stood there at the flagpole honoring those who died on those beaches, and as you can see the resting troop carrier still in the water. i was with him at the 50th anniversary of pearl harbor. we had several events that day, and surrounded by survivors. sadly, so many of them are gone but the president had a deep sense of service, and part of that service in his life was the legacy of his personal service in the military, and having been shot down. duty, service, honor, country, family, that is what george h.w. bush will be most remembered for, and he will be a role model, and has been for so many. shannon: we are just getting a statement into night from former president clinton as well. we talked a great deal about how in retirement president bush 41 reached out and made sure that he connected with people across the political aisle where they could help in disasters and relief efforts in that kind of thing. he talks about being a young governor invited into bush s home in the kennebunkport and was struck by the kindness to chelsea and his decency. he went on to say, few americans have been or will ever be able to match president bush match president bush s record of service to the united states and the joy he took every day from it, from his military service in world war ii to his work in congress, the united nations, china, the central intelligence agency, the vice presidency, and the presidency, where he moved the post-cold war world to peace, unity, and freedom. dana, that stands out to me, he took a lot of tough jobs, but he seemed to be a joyful person in the midst of it. if we have lost dana dana: shannon, i m loving your coverage so much that i had the tv turned up too loud and didn t hear the call. [laughter] these tributes are just wonderful and wholesome. did you ask me a specific question? shannon: i was talking about the statement from the clintons, talking about the joy that president trump took from his service every day, and all the positions that he served in, and that really strikes me, these are difficult jobs, he was forced into difficult situations, as any president as, and he did seem like a joyful person. dana: one of the things that he said to president bush president bush 43 after he lost in that 92 raise, 43 ask him, dad, where did you get the strength to be so gracious after that loss, it was so excruciating, the family is so heartbroken. he said, i had no choice. and i think that what he learned as a young boy growing up with a mother who apparently was one of the angels that walked the earth, she basically said, every day that you wake up and it s a choice. your choice and attitude and what you say, how you conduct yourself, and one of the things that he showed us in a post-presidency, really how to be a former president. he was a gracious winner and a gracious loser. he lived quite a long life after he finished the presidency. jimmy carter also. he really set a good example for bill clinton, for barack obama, and for his own son, george w. bush, because there is a lot of life and after you have had this job as the leader of the free world, the most powerful person on the planet, what are you going to do in those next years? and he chose to do lots of different things. he continued to do speaking but i think one of his great lasting legacies is at college station, texas a&m, where the bush library is, and where, to this day, people learn about his leadership, and leadership is really part of that curriculum at the library. he also stayed active as 43 put together at the presidential leadership scholars series, and that is the libraries of 41, 43, bill clinton, and lyndon johnson. and they all worked together to help create this new generation of leaders. and i do think, though, shannon, to get back to your original question, this idea of a choice, how you will live your life, one of the things bill clinton also said is that in many ways, 41 became like a second father to him. i think that might ve been anita, might maybe she can talk more about that, because that is important. when barbara bush died, we talk to about her as america s grandmot. 41 had so many roles, he made everyone feel special, but what do grandparents do? they teach you about how to conduct yourself. life is hard but you make choices based on the values that have been instilled in you and if it is gratitude, dignity, humility, patriotism, and the number one thing is unconditional love for your family, and that is something that i really learned from them and have tried to keep in mind as the days get hard, you get busy, you get irritated, this is a time of incivility, but it s a choice, and he taught us how to make it well. bret: i just want to touch really quickly on the bipartisan nature of all this. juan williams, george h.w. bush could reach across the aisle. he just could. in the post-presidency time, he did it during his presidency, and there are people who look at it and say, why is he doing it with bill clinton or when george w. bush hands a mentor to michelle obama at the funeral, don t they know? and we are in this age where it is such a partisan time, that this moment seems like it cuts through all of that, doesn t it? juan: it really does. it stands in stark contrast to this moment. i just want to emphasize something you said, bret, that while he was president, this is someone, given his experience on capitol hill, who was regularly going up to capitol hill, and talking to democrats. today, the way things are so separate, we don t even have those conversations between republicans and democrats, sometimes not even among people of the same party. but imagine that the president of the united states would talk with members of congress, the house specifically, he was a real admirer of the house, i think in keeping with the idea that the founding fathers saw the house as the house of the people, he was able to develop relationships, i think, and specific, i would say here that ronald reagan also had this capacity. ronald reagan would have tip o neill, the massachusetts democrat, and do deals, make deals, compromise. george h.w. bush was a master of that kind of political relationships. you have heard this now said by many people. the way that he developed relationships, and the relationships then would lead to having deals and compromises that would result in political solutions for america. that was his highest goal, political solutions as opposed to political confrontations. and for me, it was a lesson, what a statesman, because he had such an accumulation of tremendous public service going back to the war, but even after the war, in the congress, leading the republican party, leading the central intelligence agency, and i think also, people looking at ronald reagan, of course, all eyes would go to reagan in terms of the charisma, the presence, the like, but you have to understand for him, it was public service to be ronald reagan s vice president, he saw, in that moment, that he was, in fact, lining up with someone who was going to be a two term president and he was totally loyal, faithful to president reagan, and a great servant in terms of trying to advance his political agenda. shannon: anita mcbride with me quickly dig it, give us a final word? the relationship between george w. bush and bill clinton. for those of us that worked in the right house during the very painful election of 1992, and we all thought that this person of george w. bush was diminished in our eyes through some of the rhetoric of that campaign, and when they became such friends later, i asked george h.w. bush this question on the plane to the funeral of john paul ii, and bill clinton was there, i said how about this relationship between the two of you? what is it? he said, i think he s the father i never had. it really says everything about who he is as an individual, that it is service over anything that is personal. the other point that juan williams made, as a staffer in the white house, i would never i saw democratic congress meant to be guests on the tennis court or to play horseshoes or a movie or a cocktail, a regular way that george h.w. bush worked as a president. shannon: it was very effective. anita mcbride, thank you very much. juan williams, brad blakeman, dana perino, thank you very much. bret, we just got something in, jim gray, wonderful sports memories, something has just come in, i think you mentioned earlier, the cartoon that came in the wake of the passing of the first lady, barbara bush, and this joyous time of her walking through the heavenly gates, and their own daughter, robin, who died at the age of four, who are looking like a little angel, and running to each other, tonight, that same cartoonist has put out another image. it is of a plane, like the one that george h.w. bush flew, back in world war ii. i think it s on our screen, you can skim coming into the clouds and all three of them now holding hands and it says, we waited for you. that is so touching and heartbreaking. bret: that really is how we should probably end this armor, as that memory of this family because when mrs. bush died, april of 2018, they had been married 73 years, and i think that that, more than anything else, is how george h.w. bush wants to be remembered, as a
the vice presidency, which as you know surprised him, he always respected the role of the press. all right. andrea mitchell joining us by phone. andrea, appreciate that. and again, just continuing our coverage here. it is 1:00 in the east. we continue our coverage of the death of former president george herbert walker bush, america s 41st commander in chief. he has died at the age of 94. that word

network coverage. this is an nbc news special report. steve kegeorge h.w. bush has away at the age of 94. that word coming to us just over an hour ago. a statement released by his son, the 43rd president george w. bush. he had governed this country from 1989 to 1993, a time of moment momentous change. the fall of the berlin wall, the reunification of germany, major global events that played out under the watch of george h.w. bush, a one-term president whose legacy in the last 25 years in the generation since his presidency has in many ways been enhanced in a way that few one-term presidents before him we have seen. hallie jackson, who s covering the current president donald trump on his trip to buenos aires, joins us from there. we have heard from president trump in the last few minutes? reporter: we have. in a statement from president trump amnd first lady melania trump responding to the death now of former president george h.w. bush. i m going to read you pieces of this. president trump saying that melania and i join with the grieving nation to mourn the loss of former president george h.w. bush who passed away last night. through his essential disarming wit and faith in country he inspired generations of fellow americans to public service, being, in his words, a thousand points of light. president trump goes on to talk about some of the defining moments of george h.w. bush s life and legacy, talking about how he always found a way to set the bar higher. president trump continues with sound judgment, common sense and unflappable leadership, president bush guided our nation and the world to a peaceful and victorious conclusion of the cold war and as such set the stage for the decades of prosperity that have followed. through all he accomplished, he

d.c. for the former president, starting with george h.w. bush lying in state at the capitol and then a service at the national cathedral. we don t have exact timing on that at this point, but i expect that will come shortly. we are hearing too from members of congress paying their respects to the former president, who is such a key political figure to a lot of folks inside the republican establishment. world leaders perhaps reacting as they start to wake up here at the g20 this morning. a couple of notes on the relationship between president trump and the former president. it was fraught at times. it s interesting the thousand points of light phrase is being included here, so important to president bush, but something that president trump jabbed at when he was on the campaign trail. that put him under scrutiny from former bush aides and allies who weren t quite sure why president trump was going after george h.w. bush there. former first lady barbara bush, melania attended for the family. hallie, thank you for that. bring in now john meechum. the moment of his presidency that will define it more than any other was the decision to go to war with saddam hussein and iraq in 1991 when saddam hussein had invatded kuwait. it was a controversial decision and he chose to go. he chose to go because he believed this will not stand, this aggression against kuwait. he decided from the 2nd of august 1990 through about the 5th of august that it was important in a post cold war era to attempt to establish a rule of law among nations. he saw kuwait as a victim. he saw saddam hussein as an aggressor. he and james baker successfully marshalled the world to project force around the world in order to try to attempt and, as president bush put it in a speech to congress on september 11th, 1990, that the law of nations should trump the law of the jungle. thank you for joining us. again, the word coming in now. it s about 90 minutes ago that we learned that the former president of the united states george h.w. bush passed away earlier this evening at the age of 94. again, the 41st president of the united states from 1989 to 1993. for those of you watchi ing our stations, our coverage of the death of george h.w. bush continues on msnbc. i m steve kornacki, nbc news. continuing our coverage here on msnbc of the death of former president george herbert walker bush, the former president we learned passing away earlier in the evening at the age of 94. he was the commander in chief from 1989 to 1993, a time of seismic change across the world. general barry mccaffrey joins me now on the phone. you knew him personally, general. your reaction, your memories? well, he s an utterly magnificent public servant. his entire life was really a model to be emulated. 18-year-old navy carrier pilot world war ii. i knew him both as a division commander during the gulf war. he and barbara and the senior leaders of congress came to my division before the attack started and had thanksgiving dinner with us. what an incredible impact he had on my soldiers. then he also went to ft. stewart, georgia, to visit our families while we were deployed. and then later on as colin powell s assistant, i had traveled with him on several occasions overseas, international conferences, essentially his liaison officer between the chairman and the president. again, just a model of public service, integrity, good judgment, personal courage. barry mccaffrey, please stay with us. we re joined now by tom brokaw, who covered george h.w. bush. tom, you wrote the book about george h.w. bush s generation, the greatest generation. he was the final president of the united states from that generation. he was. and i had a hard time persuading him to participate in that book. he was always so modest about his public service. and i finally said, you know, mr. president, this is your generation and you were so representative of it. and he reluctantly agreed. and then i remember one of the most vivid moments and proudest moments of my life on the dedication of the world war ii memorial in washington, d.c., he was seated just down from me on the podium and when the remarks from the various speakers were going on, he took off a piece of cardboard and wrote on it and said, dear tom, i think i was wrong, maybe we were the greatest generation. and then i developed a personal relationship with him through our mutual friend jim baker. he was the same in private as he was in public. he was always a modest man, worried about how others were doing. i was with him toward the conclusion of his son s decision to invade iraq and he was supportive of his son, but at the same time i know that he was very anxious about the outcome of it. he worried about what would happen. he was close to colin powell, for example, who was the secretary of state in his son s administration. you ll remember that colin powell was not included in a lot of the decision making by vice president cheney and defense secretary rumsfeld and that troubled him. but he was always a man who has had great grace. he was a good athlete. he worry about others. his wife barbara had this impish sense of humor. from time to time she d say something that was impolitic. george would say, oh bar, don t go there. i think both as a political figure and certainly as a friend to his generation and as a friend to people who came up to him, he was a man without peer. there s an assessment of him out there as a political figure, that he was more comfortable governing than campaigning and that that showed. do you think that s accurate? i think that s true. i remember he was elected to that first term and then toward the end of it the economy took a sharp downturn. and he didn t respond to it in the way that would have been useful to himty think in the campaign. there were a number of reasons for that, some of them i think having to do with some of the people in his generation. he liked campaigning. the advice he always got from his mother from a privileged household in new england, oh george, told talk about yourself, she would say nap s why he as a politician in contrast to others who occupied that position, he was reluctant to do it. his good manners were always there with him. he was ambassador to china, the director of the cia, the vice president to the united nations. when he became president, he really did close a deal with the russian government that was discarding the soviet union. he was a seminal figure in so many positions in american political life. tom, i wonder if you could take us back to the spring of 1991 just after the successful completion of operation desert storm, the liberation of kuwait from iraqi occupation. he hit 91% approval rating. there were patriotic celebrations in this country, parades, ticker tapes, celebrations that we really hadn t seen since world war ii that spring. it was kind of the last time we had that moment, any military operation. when you stop and think about it, the last unconditionally successful military operation that we had. there was a lot of pressure on him to go all the way to baghdad. he didn t want to do that. he thought we accomplished what he set out to do, which was drive saddam hussein out of kuwait. there was one mistake made. general schwartzkopf said unfortunately i allowed to have saddam hussein s men to have access to helicopters and they used those helicopters to open up another war in the southern part of iraq. at that point, they had a lot of enemies. that was probably a mistake, but it was more of a tactical than it was a strategic mistake. and he was very concerned about the spread of war in that part of the world. part of the reason his son and certainly cheney and rumsfeld wanted to go to war is they felt that they had to finish the job, so to speak. and they completely misrepresented, in fact, what was going on in iraq. there were no weapons of mass destruction. and we went into a war that is still simmering in its own way. it seems there s an irony there, obviously, to put it mildly, that so many of the now positive assessments of george h.w. bush s presidency are rooted in the perceived failures of his sons when it came to iraq. that s true. it was so often in any presidency it is very hard to project about what the enduring advantage of a decision will be or the disadvantage of it will be. and he got caught in the downdraft of his own presidency, especially when it came to the economy. also there was a generational thing. bill clinton was unparalleled as a campaigner and he was of his generation a kind of seminal figure when it came to understanding the new tools of campaigning. he d grown up wanting to be president of the united states, two terms as governor of arkansas. he represented his generation in so many ways. and george bush was a man of the greatest generation of a different time and a different set of values. tom brokaw from nbc news. the anchor of nbc news when george h.w. bush was president. thank you. my pleasure. he was a great man. i really got to know him as a friend. one final story about him. i was visiting with him up at kennebunkport and he was at that point concerned about what was going on in the republican party. i ll leave some of the names out. but his wife barbara said sit over there next to george, tom, so i can take your picture together. she said i m going to release this as the cochairs of get i don t say who it is we re walking about. george said, oh barbara, don t do that now. they had this wonderful relationship. by then he was in a scooter because he had parkinson s disease from the waist down. it frustrated him so much because he was such a good athlete. he couldn t move around in the same way, but the fact that he lived to be 94 and he s going to get this kind of farewell, no man deserved it more. all right. tom brokaw, thank you very much. it was my great pleasure. john meechum is still with us. let me bring you back in. tom mentions for much of his life the physical strength of george h.w. bush. i remember him in 1988 running for president probably at 64, 65 years old, back then going out jogging at one point during that campaign. and of course the passing in just the last year of his wife. that relationship, barbara bush and george h.w. bush, talk a little bit about that if you would. they met three weeks after pearl harbor at a dance at the greenwich country club. she wore a red and green dress and he endeavored to get introduced. their first date was a day or two later. george h.w. bush, known as papi in those days and still to the family in private moments, he was worried that perhaps there might not be enough to talk about. so he borrowed the family car that had a radio in it. he found quickly that barbara pierce did not suffer silence very easily. and as she used to say, they never had to have a car with a radio again, because she would fill whatever space there was. they were married in january of 1945, fully thinking that lieutenant junior grade george h.w. bush, as he was at that point, would go back to be part of the invasion and attack on the home islands of japan. vj day was an incredibly joyous moment for them as millions of other americans. they were married for 73 years. it was one of the great marriages. had its ups and downs, as every marriage does. we talked about the loss of r robin in 1953. as you know, families that lose a child, sometimes it brings you closer and sometimes it creates rifts that are difficult to heal. with the bushes, they were strong for each other. president bush was, by his owned a mission, was very affected by watching robin be treated at memorial sloan kettering as it was then and would run out of the room. barbara used to say that robin must have thought he had the weakest bladder in america because he would hustle out. mrs. bush was strong during the treatment. after robin died on columbus day weekend of 1953, it was george bush s turn to be strong. and she always remembered how he would hold her sobbing in the watches of the night down in midland, texas, where they were living. they hadn t heard the word leukemia ever until they heard their daughter s diagnosis in 1953. it brought them together. they were a formidable political partnership. as a friend of president bush s once remarked to me, that president bush didn t like saying anything bad about folks, but he didn t really mind hearing, which was a good thing because mrs. bush was pretty candid. in fact, the president would sometimes when mrs. bush was on a particular roll, he would say, bar, where do you get so damn many opinions. it was that kind of taeasing relationship. george w. bush has remarked he has his daddy s eyes and his mama s mouth. just in a general way, i want to say again this is america s last great soldier statesman. this is someone who understood combat, who understood the costs of military action. he was restrained in the use of power. he understood america s role in the world. he believed that we were stronger the more widely we opened our arms. one of my favorite stories is the first time he came back to the white house after he lost in 1992 was in june of 1993 to help gerald ford and bill clinton and jimmy carter talk about nafta, which was then facing ratification largely negotiated under reagan and bush. bill clinton gets up and gives this remarkably synthetic and wonderful description of globalization and why free trade matters. and president bush got up and said we have just seen once again why he s living here and i m not. not many politicians and almost no presidents are that self-deprecating. and one of the things we ve lost tonight is a sense of humility at the highest littles. george bush, for all of his faults and he d be the first to say i think we re going on a little too much here. but for all of his faults, he embodied the idea that you could be a humble man in the biggest arena of american politics and still keep your humanity, keep your grace, keep your integrity. we have talked about one of the most significant moments, not just in george h.w. bush s presidency but really in modern american history. that is the 1991 gulf war. it was august of 1990 when saddam hussein s forces in iraq invaded kuwait. george h.w. bush formed an international coalition, amassed troops, set a deadline for hussein to withdraw his forces or to face war. got approval from congress. then when that deadline passed and saddam hussein hadn t budged and george h.w. bush declared war. this was that moment. now the 28 countries with forces in the gulf area have exhausted all reasonable efforts to reach a peaceful resolution v no choice but to drive saddam from kuwait by force. general barry mccaffrey is still with us. general, just before george h.w. bush made that statement on national television in january 1991, there had been predictions that if the united states did launch that war, it would turn into a vietnam in the desert. it had been basically 15 years since the end of vietnam. there were terrible memories of that that were wide in this country. and it turned out that that war lasted far shorter than almost anybody had predicted. the ground war lasted i think less than 100 hours. far fewer casualties. when it was over, george h.w. bush said we had kicked the vietnam syndrome once and for all. i do wonder looking back at that moment, in an indirect way, did that triumph did the unexpected ease of that triumph change this country s psychology when it came to war, when it came to the idea that maybe war was a lot easier than we thought it would be? that the first time i ve heard that question put that way. by the way, i have to backtrack and say it s been really a joy listening to tom meechum and tom brokaw with their own memories of this great man. i think he literally was. this is unusual. think of where we are now and look at president bush s life and his devotion to his family and to the country and the service. just a remarkable, gentle, kind, intelligent, mature public servant. back to the gulf war, i think one of the things that was most notable about that conflict was we had in the case of both president bush with his intention aviation combat experience in world war ii and by the way, he told my division at thanksgiving in saudi arabia one of his last missions flying off an aircraft carrier during world war ii was in support of the 24th infantry division, my division fighting in the philippines. all of us were just overwhelmed. i say that because it underscores he understood the consequences of war. he barely survive it himself. our chairman at the time, colin powell, had been badly wounded as a major in vietnam. a lot of combat experience, our joint commander in the gulf, norm schwartzkoff had been badly wounded in vietnam. at the very top, you had our strategic planning being done by public servants who as young men had been in combat. that changed everything. by the way, that was one of the few wars where the media and many in congress completely misunderstood what was about to happen. just before the attack started, there were all sorts of comments, the effect of this was going to be the bloode esiest d since the invasion of normandy. the people on the ground, division commanders, brigade commanders, particularly those of white house fought in vietnam i told secretary cheney before the attack started this war was going to be short, relatively moderate casualties. i thought my division would have 2,000 killed and wounded. we ended up with 8 killed and 28 wounde wounded. i think it was the generation where everyone at the top understood what we were about to do. and that started with the president of the united states. in the gulf war in 1991 transformed the reputations, the images of, among others, colin powell, polling after the war showed him one of the most popular people in america, perhaps the most popular person in america, a movement throughout the 90s to get him to run for president, ultimately becoming secretary of state under george w. bush. d dick cheney, his reputation certainly increased dramatically after that. and then in 2000 he became the running mate for george w. bush, the vice president for george w. bush. with dick cheney in the george w. bush administration, you also got donald rumsfeld, his old ally and somebody who was not necessarily an ally of george w. bush. bhuabsolutely. the past was not prologue when it came to that. rumsfeld and george h.w. bush were young rivals in the washington of nixon and ford. it s sort of a shakespearean rivalry. george w. bush was always very determined throughout his son s both governorship and presidency, he took pains to point out these were different eras, they were different men. it s impossible to understand george w. bush without understanding texas politics. it s impossible to understand george h.w. bush without understanding how much the political center of the country moved from new england to the sunbelt in the 20th century. the family story writ large is in many ways the story of american politics prior to 2016. my sense of i spend a lot of time talking to him about it through the years. president bush really did look on his son s presidency in the way that dad would as opposed to the way a former president might. that s hard for people to get their heads around. there are a lot of conspiracy theories. there s more armchair psychology about this than near damn near anything else in modern american history, but i believe it to be true. jeb bush explained it once as saying why wouldn t someone look at it as a dad? you re watching your son in the maelstrom, there s immense pride, there s immense concern about what the son faces. president bush was very clear that he thought his son was facing after 9/11 possibly the greatest crisis since the civil war because there had been an attack on our soil. and he believed always that a president of the united states of either party deserved the deference of the people around him, that the nature of citizenship required someone to give the president their best views, but to support them and to try to serve where that president asked. so i think you have to look at those two men in different frames because they ruled in different eras. but i do know that the immense pride, the immense emotional reaction that the president had watching his son govern in tumultuous times certainly fundamentally shaped his last decades. andrea mitchell is still with us as well. i was going through that list of names those reputations were transformed by the gulf war. wbr id= wbr18440 /> another one was secretary of state james a. baker iii and obviously close friend of george h.w. bush. they went way back before that. and jim baker was called in when /b> florida was in the balance for the bush family. that relationship between bush and jim baker, what can you tell us think about? that was the most extraordinary partnership, friendship. it was george bush who got jim baker into politics. they were friends in houston going all the way back. they suffered great losses. jim baker lost his first wife. and of course you ve talked about robin, the child that the bushes had lost. that i had lo they lost elections. jim baker lot his attempt at elected politics, but then he became the ally, the partner, the secretary of state and wbr-id= wbr19040 /> was very reluctant to leave the job he loved so much secretary of state to become campaign manager again in 1992, but he did. they were trade-offs back and forth but jim baker was a really close friend. they continued this week. jim baker had a rice baker institute commemoration. barack obama was the speaker, but it was also earlier in the day that barack obama went to visit george herbert walker bush at home, probably one of the last major visits that he had before his passing. he was failing in the last couple of days and had been. really family and friends expected almost eight months ago barbara bush s passing. i think we all remember seeing him sorrowful and frail at that service and the love and support of his children. i had the great opportunity recently to sit down and talk about the past and the present and current politics and policy at a private gathering, an academic gathering with jeb bush. and we talked about his eloquent eulogy for his mother. it was very much on his mind because we all knew that his father s health was failing. remember at age 90 when he took that parachute jump and when i listened to barry mccaffrey talking about him as a commander and working in the first gulf war for george bush, the commander in chief, you think of him as being the youngestviator think of his rescue in the pacific is just extraordinary when you think from the recollections of tom brokaw who covered him and became his friend. what this man did in reunifying germany, which was not a self-evident decision, a brave decision which changed the map of europe forever. and all of the big decisions he took to follow up on the legacy of ronald reagan and complete the end of the cold war. i just think this was one of the most consequential single term presidencies. in fact, the sacrifice he made in terms of policy choices that led to his defeat, not just the fact that there was a three-way race with ross perot, but also the decision to raise taxes when he knew it was the right thing to do and that he was violating the signature pledge of his convention acceptance speech and that it would probably mean he would not be elected to a second term. we ve talked so much about george w. bush s presidency, his son s presidency and what he might have thought about that and how he approached it. but his son, george w. bush, played a role in his path si as well. i think the famous instance there was john sununu, the embattled chief of staff. it was george w. bush the son that was called in to get him to walk the plank. absolutely. george w. bush was a very tough political operator in his father s first campaign and subsequently when he was president of the united states. when people talk about their disagreements, which were very private and i m not sure fully express eed even between the tw of them over the second gulf war, the iraq war, it understates how close they were in terms of their election campaigns and the political advice. w was a very big figure in 1988 in the election of president bush. we have a statement coming in from former president barack obama and his wife michelle obama. george h.w. bush s life is a testament to the notion that public service is a noble, joyous calling and he did tremendous good along the journey, expanding america s promise to new immigrants and people with disabilities, reducing nuclear weapons and building a broad coalition to expel a dictator from kuwait. it was his steady diplomatic hand that made possible an achievement once thought anything but. ending the cold war without firing a shot. it s a legacy of service that may never be matched even though he d want all of us to try. again, that statement just coming in to us from former president barack obama and the former first lady michelle obama. going to bring back hallie jackson from buenos aires. she s been traveling with president trump to the g20 summit. interesting to come back to you on that note, the note that barack obama strikes in that statement about george h.w. bush s reputation as an internationalist president, somebody who had relationships across the globe, somebody who made friend wis in europe, in t middle east, was able to forge that coalition, that very delicate, fragile coalition that held maybe against the odds in the runup and during the gulf war in 1991. looking at the current president and where you are right now with those world leaders and george h.w. bush, there is a contrast in approach there. there is. it s so different, steve. we ve been seeing that on display here at this international summit with the president piecing together, as the new york times phrases it, a patch work of allies, snubbing some you would think would be allies, cozying up to others you would think would not be. ever since president trump took office he campaigned on blowing up some of that world order that president george h.w. bush put in maplace, if you will. as a moment to think about as i cover this president, the relationship that president has had with past presidents including 41, there have been instances where we have seen the ex presidents together. i thi president trump was not among them. there have been not been instances where we have seen president trump as part of that so-called president s club, leaning on his predecessors for advice or guidance. he was rather isolated from that group. in the past they have been from different political parties, of course. but look at what andrea just talked about barack obama having visited george h.w. bush just in the last few days. there is the sense that presidents have held a special place in american history, they have shard one of the moed the e white house, they have lived there, they have worked there, there is a very small group of people that can say that. president trump has always been on the outskirts of that group, of that club f y, if you will. we expect in the coming days he will have a service after having laid in state at the capitol hill, that you will see president trump paying his respects. it is going to be a dynamic that president trump will be navigating in the next week or so. it s one that we saw him have to navigate when barbara bush, the love of george bush s life died within the past year. president trump did not attend her funeral. note totally out of the ordinary for a sitting president not to attend, but melania trump did go to represent the white house. president trump at the time said he was not attending out of respect to the family. there are going some moments to watch in the coming days related to how president trump relates to the bush family and his predecessors in office. a statement as well from former president bill clinton, who of course defeated george h.w. bush in the 1992 presidential campaign. hillary and i mourn the passing of president george h.w. bush and give thanks for his great long life of service, love and friendship. i will be forever grateful for the friendship we formed from the moment i met him as a young governor invited to his home in kennebunkport. i was struck by the kindness he showed to chelsea, his children and their growing brood. few americans will be able to match president bush s record of service to the united states and the joy he took every day from it. from his military service in world war ii to his work in congress, the united nations, china, the central intelligence agency, the vice presidency and the presidency where he worked to move to the post cold war toward greater unity and freedom. i saw it with him up close. his remarkable leadership and great heart were always on full display. i am profoundly grateful for every minute i spent with president bush and will always hold our friendship as one of my life s greatest gifts. our thoughts and prayers are with the entire bush clan. again, that statements coming in to us from former president bill clinton on the passing of george h.w. bush. we still have john meechum with us. we mentioned bill clinton defeating george h.w. bush in 9 1992. one of the reasons he was able to do that was that decision to go back on the read my lips, no new tax promise. he made that in the 88 campaign. he cut a deal to do it in 1990. he called it a mistake on the campaign trail in 1992. a generation later in 2014 he ended up being awarded a profile in courage award from the kennedy library in boston. it seemed as a candidate and a president he never learned how to talk about that. what is your sense? did he always think that was the right thing to do? he did. he actually got a fax from richard nixon during the transition in december of 1988 where nixon offers him which nixon did to a lot of his successors, offered a lot of advice. one was to go ahead and break the pledge and get it over with, get the deficit under control. bush wrote back saying that he d be dead meat if he did it that quickly. but he did signal actually in a conversation with michaay signalled that he thought he might have to break the pledge. so he was always prepared to do it. he did it at a breakfast meeting in late june of 1990. in many ways, that was kind of the pearl harbor of the current partisan particularly on the conservative side, the bolt of the right and of newt gingrich. one story i think says a lot about this is a story told by vin weber, the former minnesota congressman who had run newt gingrich s campaign to get into the house leadership in 1989. gingrich was not a bush figure, to say the least. he was a bomb thrower. bush was the guy at whom he was throwing bombs or at least the world was the target of his bombs. but bush being bush wanted to have gingrich over to say i want to work together, congratulate him on winning the leadership race. as vin told me the story, only george bush would think to invite the guy who ran the campaign as well as the guy who won within the caucus. so they re having a beer up in the residence in 1989 and both gingrich and weber can tell there s something bush wants to say but can t quite get it out. final ly he says what worries yu most about us? bush said i worry that sometimes your idealism may get in the way of what i think of as sound governance. your idealism. and weber said he always appreciated that bush said idealism, he didn t say ideology, he didn t say dogma. he gave them credit for believing in what they believed in. but he knew that sound governance was more complicated than what one had to say on the campaign trail. bush had picked up a phrase in china about the empty cannons of rhetoric. he saw campaigns in many ways as a long fuselage of empty cannons of rhetoric. they got a worse deal after the republicans bolted against bush. but it really is one of the last moments where a president self-evidently and consciously compromised his own political future for what he saw as the national interest. and i don t want to exaggerate. president bush would hate it if we exaggerated. he d think it was bragadocious. he knew he would pay a steep, steep price, which he did with both the republican house caucus bolting on him and bringing pat buchanan into the 1992 race. he knew he had to do it. bush knew he had to do it for the good of the country. one of the last conversations i had with him asked him what do you want us to remember about you? and he hated that kind of question. and he said we put the country first, made our share of mistakes, but we always tried to put the country first. that s not just sentiment. that s the substance of what he did. it was at the end of the 1990s about five years after george h.w. bush left office that this country actually had a balanced budget and actually began running a budget surplus for a few years. you look at the boom economy of the 90s and you look at the windfall revenues produced by the tax like in 1990 and the tax like in 1993 under bill clinton, both extremely unpopular, but there was a period where this country cleaned up its books at the end of the 1990s that may seem a little bit distant right now. john mentioned the name pat buchanan, the pundit turned candidate who challenged george h.w. bush in the 1992 presidential primaries in response to george h.w. bush going back on that pledge not to raise taxes. but the platform that buchanan ran on is in many ways one that we would recognize today as trumpism. he ran on a border wall, he ran on immigration restriction, not just illegal, but legal immigration restriction. he ran on in many of the cultur themes and many of the economic nationalist themes that donald trump would embrace years later. john is absolutely right. president bush was somebody who always felt that it was important to put country first. that s what he did. he put country first. he did it and sacrificed basically a second term to do the right thing. i just had enormous respect for the man. i had the utmost personal as well as professional respect and regard and love for george h.w. bush. just not only a great man but also a good man, a man who cared deeply about people and who was every bit as kind and gentle behind the scenes as he is in public. you remember, of course, the speech he gave where he said he d like to see a kinder gentler nation when he accepted the nomination back in 1988. he really did make an effort to do that. even at the end of the conflict with saddam hussein, the president had almost tears in his eyes when he spoke to congress, because the whole idea was not to needlessly sacrifice human life and to lose people, even in that conflict. i loved that about him. he s somebody who he himself had experienced war as a very young men in world war ii. he talked about how his father cried as he went off to world war ii and he very nearly died, of course. he was shot down and was dramatically rescued. i think the youngest navy pilot at the time for the u.s. but he never forgot his experience as somebody who fought in world war ii and he realized how precious life was and he wanted to do everything that he could to make sure there wasn t unnecessary loss of life in that conflict. and that s who he was personally as well as professionally. that s who george h.w. bush was, a very, very thoughtful, a very, very kind man, somebody who cared deeply about people. when he was elected to congress back in the late 1960s, from that houston district he supported fair housing. and that was a controversial move at the time, but he supported fair housing because he knew it was the right thing to do. his father, of course he had worked with president johnson in 1964 to pass the civil rights bill and then in 65 the voting rights bill. when he was president of the united states and i was working in the white house we passed a civil rights bill as well and i worked closely with the team and the president to get that done. i enjoyed working for him. i loved his style. he was somebody who didn t believe in bragging about himself. very humble. let others talk about me but i won t talk about himself. he always took time to consider everybody in the room from the least important person to the person who might think that they were the most important. he took time to consider everybody in the room. that s what i will always appreciate about him. i have a whole best of your knowledge bunch of personal memories of kind things he would do and he even did for me when i was on the white house staff working for him. the country mourns and rightly so and my heart goes out to his family, to his sons and his daughter and his grandkids. i know that they are sad today because he was a good x go, goo. thank you for taking a few minutes and joining us. general barry mccaffrey is still with us. general, i wonder about the relationship between, the interactions between george bush and the military leadership in the gulf war obviously, but in general. what was that relationship like? you raise really an excellent point, particularly when you look at current president trump s dealings with kim jong-un one on one, no one else in the room except the interpreter, dealing with putin one on one. i was with president bush on several foreign trips, helsinki, serevee vienna, moscow. it always used to amuse me when i back briefed the pentagon that as a general statement and i was just a lieutenant general representing the chairman of the jcs general powell, but i was always in the room. so there might be five people in the room, the secretary of state on both sides, the head of government. i d be the only uniformed figure in there. some of it was the president wanted me to have direct access to report back to general powell. but a lot of it was he liked having us around. he was very comfortable with us. both my wife and i have handwritten notes framed that we keep in the home for him thanking us for things we had done to support the country. just a very unusual relationship in which all of us almost uniformly in the armed forces really almost worshipped the guy. your previous interviewers made the point about his gentility and his thoughtfulness and his maturity. he was a unique figure in american society. i normally refer to him in lectures as the equivalent of american nobility, because that s really the way i saw him. john meechum, we talked a little bit with tom brokaw earlier about some of the struggles that george h.w. bush had as a candidate, with that aspect, the stage craft that comes with being a kanld fcandir office. the flip side, the personal touch that bush had behind the scenes at cultivating friendships, at cultivating relationships. there was an anecdote through the years that ballooned to 25 to 30,000 names on it with a staff to maintain it all year. but this was a cultivator of personal relationships who could have 30,000 friends and they could all feel close to him. there are tonight and will be in the coming days tens of thousands of people, maybe more, who will feel as though they have lost a very close friend. that s given to very few people in life, much less in politics. his relationships were not inherently transactional. and that s what most political friendships, quote, unquote, are. he was what frankly roosevelt once referred to as a master of the science of human relationships. he never met a stranger. i was with him once in houston and a waiter in a restaurant said, mr. president, you were going to bring me a pair of cuff links, you know the cuff links that all presidents give out. bush had forgotten, so he put his hands on his own cuff links and took them off and gave them to the man. there will be again an infinity of those stories. the country is going to get tired of hearing what an amazing man he was. but it is that kind of grace is in such vanishingly small supply today that i think the more we can be reminded of it and the more we can perhaps heed our own better angels. again, george bush was not a perfect man, but he did leave us a more perfect union and he left as a model of how to behave. that might not have always done exactly the right thing, but he was a human being, but he was the best kind of human being even with those limitations. and i t it s a cliche, but cliches are cliches because they re true, we re not going to see his like again. we talked so much in the last couple of hours about how the legacy of his administration, of his one-term presidency has evolved over the last generation and how he used to talk about the idea of history looking back favorably on his tenure. a generation later as he passes from this world, is that place in history that he sought, is that secure for him? i think it s ever more so. i think he will be seen as someone who made courageous decisions. he did them for the national interest. he was not the best wholesale politician. he was not the smoothest political performer. but in his very private moments, he didn t really ascribe to that. as he would sometimes you could almost hear him saying, well, you know i was president, so how bad could i have been at that. he talked about how he climbed the highest mountain in the world. i think when we look historically at what he did, i remember henry kissinger saying that bush had the most consequential foreign policy presidency of any president since truman. for kissinger to say that, you know it has to be true. it is in many ways foreign policy. the massive transformations that took place around the globe that obviously is the legacy of the bush presidency. it does seem that no matter what, no matter what we make of the domestic side of things, that foreign policy legacy, the end of the soviet union, the end of soviet commune in addition. reunification of germany. i don t mean to bring him into the argument compare and contrast, but one of the great gifts of president bush and the phenomenal people he kept around. we ve talked about secretary baker. was their ability to build coalitions. and it wasn t just on self-interest. it was also on values and on the personal trust and the respect that president bush had around the world. i was at a state dinner in the kremlin and you could see in the
i m trying to reach them but nobody ever since. the war on my phone or two part documentary starts december eighth own d w. this is the w. news live from berlin a security crisis in france president in my new iraq phone chair as an emergency meeting a day off to fuel tax protests turned violent heat as ministers debates whether to impose a state of emergency to prevent a reoccurrence of the was

german national team are drawn in the same year a twenty twenty qualifying group as the netherlands a million photos for you here live side of. i m on your ship as mckinnon welcome to the program. french president emanuel markhor has ordered his prime minister to hold talks with political leaders and demonstrators after fuel tax protests turned violent on saturday that haunt shared a crisis cabinet meeting our first sesay in the damage in central paris protests that started over fuel tax increases slated for next month have turned into what some are calling an insurrection against. the president had come to see the damage to the city but he was faced too with the damage to his reputation. call resign they shouted their cool written also when they are to triomphe. this was central paris on sunday morning. mccrone called a cabinet meeting amid rumors they might impose a state of emergency. yet who from saturday s sea of yellow vests coming from an invite to negotiate the movement which filled central paris at the weekend has no leadership they seem united only by anger. for me the problem is that michael loves the powerful the big bosses the big financier s he loves the very rich but he doesn t care about the people he despises them mr mr merkel you asked us to come and see you we are here come to see us don t send your delegates it s the people who are unhappy. discussions happen online this woman wrote those who absolutely want to break something choose your targets act constructively see you on saturday whereas this commentator said the real violence is nine million in poverty it s eighty billion in tax evasion that s violence not three cars burning in an expensive neighborhood as paris licks its wounds from this saturday s riot the clock starts counting down to the next one. ok let s cross now to our correspondent lisa lewis has been following events for us in paris and across france hi lisa. i held an emergency meeting with several ministers today can you tell us any more about that. while the president hasn t talked since then he hasn t given many interviews but we have heard that he has taught is interior minister to consider actually to review the security measures that would be put in place for a possible next day of demonstration that is already planned for next saturday he is also talking about gathering the heads of the unions and the representatives of the yellow vests move and to talk to them and they are fast track trials that will be put in place and he is calling upon additional judges to see all these about three hundred eighty people that are in preliminary custody that are waiting judgment and these people could go to see the judges from tomorrow and you know under these systems that are called combined showing you that they will be judged within a few hours or you know one of two hours really so the government is trying to react to what happened what we don t know yet is what the president will do to turn around the mood and to bring people back on his side. lisa give us a sense of how difficult this situation is for the government to tackle how big of a crisis is this. it s quite a big crisis really i mean if you look at the numbers of how many people went out to protest it s not amazing it s like one hundred thirty thousand people across france but according to polls from a few days ago about eighty percent of the french support and movement this is the expression of and anger feeling of anger towards the lead towards politicians in paris all these people fear that in our my car is doing politics making politics for the rich and not for those people who are need who are actually struggling to make ends meet obviously these fuel and diesel taxes are just the trigger but they symbolic really because many people who are drawn and demonstrating and blocking very imperfect about participating in marches in paris or elsewhere they are saying you know we need our car to get to our workplace because we are really live there is no public transport so you really don t understand what we need president macand that s why they re so angry about this specific measure but they feel that in general many measures measures that are actually not in favor of them but only in favor of the rich are at least the u.s. reporting for us from paris and much. representatives from

that was right up in the shout of come out of me was i called alice. a lot of other mad why the can do stuff like that it and that but why don t you know the use of either of sample that the us and the. men and those kinds of salaries magic to the world absorb it all but that if they didn t start right the others will have another update right because although i do wonder if the end of the iraq some other triviality recipes that the lower level people i do want to add the less map to do to change it living up to but i ve been up to a what the sabbath to be a matter got this yes i ll bust your ass out why god correct you why because how can how can someone so much absolute. given up of course if you are still managed on thought it looks rather differently at the foot and i guess i was about . to fracture the thread because you thought about that if you know mr musharraf will learn most of this to the young man who. asked to get a lot fun and a mushmouth of the awful stuff the video looks can use to get a good as it into hands. and craft him in fact we re going to target men and they re not and yet you were one of them at that i didn t give up on me right as i do what i mean i

hot it. sucks it is elect after anime she says. lover not interested yet want the sake of the static. and that they ve implemented to dick and i think. the last hour i can assign. if they can if you can look a little niggas if you fancy a lottery for some hours a lot of them give back a little you know the last article i had you know who had. come actually but now that i ve had one christmas to get. this year the head of a man who had apparently police personnel listen had a mad at him as a little while ago but that may be terrible one should have known a man should be a dog. and i prefer to get a bit better because our bums i ll be the station how the captain how low quality to help mr didden she leash no other mocking rule mcconnell so what is the whole matter if you don t want to work on well i can tell how that could be full on whether he should live so beautifully unlockable months of learning are. feeling downright sammul and into a new no human hearing and i am an ignominious entertainment and the telephone confided to peter that you minister fired is that herbicide us or t. o. luck to our so sort or so i don t really like that and received the last half hour or so of not

love that s a look love they have on their mission never better give it up well enough i mean you know we need we lead and the lot of that should tell a bit. of. that it will push. for a good album in. the senate will. come about among the other times that i would leave. and i do intend to investigate. it is for the ethical out of. it to. bear arms. you just never know lavish enough sap jesselyn and then is that i have enough shadow genetical shafts right here at this to sacrifice roberts who do. most of our part. suddenly it was a play on kind and i dentistry and. so i don t go into a museum in india where when i was a plan on how to go one i could get an ocean. but then i didn t. have move you would tell. you know i m sure. i m sure. well you sure it was a show and if. there s a. good idea actually. that did. it s to get a look that up a way doesn t return. then you know. many who survived the air strikes are left homeless the u.n. says three million people have been displaced
