How False Testimony and a Massive U.S. Propaganda Machine Bolstered George H.W. Bush's War on Iraq - Duration: 22:56.

This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report.

I'm Amy Goodman, with Juan González.

Well, a national day of mourning has been declared following the death of former President

George H.W. Bush, who died Friday at the age of 94.

The Post Office and other federal agencies are closed for the day.

A funeral service for Bush is being held today at the Washington National Cathedral.

Former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Bush's son, George W. Bush,

will attend, as will President Trump, who was not invited to speak.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush explained why President Trump was not speaking by saying,

quote, "It's because we have a unique circumstance here.

My brother was president.

First dibs, as we used to say."

A second funeral will be held on Thursday in Houston, where George H.W. Bush will be

buried.

Well, we continue now to look back at the legacy of the 41st president.

Bush only served one term in the Oval Office, but the blowback from his 1991 invasion of

Iraq is still being felt today.

Although the Gulf War technically ended in February 1991, the U.S. war on Iraq would

continue for decades, first in the form of devastating sanctions and then in the 2003

invasion launched by George H.W. Bush's son, George W. Bush.

Thousands of U.S. troops and contractors remain in Iraq today.

We look back now at a largely forgotten aspect of Bush's war on Iraq: the vast domestic

propaganda campaign that occurred in the United States before the invasion began.

The story centers on a young Kuwaiti woman named Nayirah.

On October 10th, 1990, the 15-year-old girl gave riveting testimony before Congress about

the horrors inside Kuwait after Iraq invaded.

Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, my name is Nayirah, and I just came out of

Kuwait.

… My sister, with my 5-day-old nephew, traveled across the desert to safety.

There was no milk available for the baby in Kuwait.

They barely escaped when their car was stuck in the desert, desert sand, and help came

from Saudi Arabia.

I stayed behind and wanted to do something for my country.

The second week after invasion, I volunteered at the Al-Adan Hospital with 12 other women

who wanted to help, as well.

I was the youngest volunteer; other women were from 20 to 30 years old.

While I was there, I saw the Iraqi soldiers come into the hospital with guns.

They took the babies out of incubators, took the incubators and left the children to die

on the cold floor.

It was horrifying.

I could not help but think of my nephew.

Nayirah's testimony was rebroadcast across the country and marked a turning point in

public opinion on going to war.

President George H.W. Bush repeatedly cited her claims.

They had kids in incubators, and they were thrown out of the incubators, so that Kuwait

could be systematically dismantled.

Three months after Nayirah testified, President George H.W. Bush launched the invasion of

Iraq.

But it turned out Nayirah's claims weren't true.

No human rights group or news outlet could confirm what she said.

It also turned out Nayirah was not just any Kuwaiti teenager.

She was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States, Saud Nasser al-Sabah.

She had been coached by the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, which was working for

the Kuwaiti government.

We're joined now by the journalist who first revealed Nayirah's identity, Rick MacArthur,

the president and publisher of Harper's Magazine, the author of the book Second Front:

Censorship and Propaganda in the 1991 Gulf War.

I mean, so, you know, as we said, this is a turning point.

You have this teenager, this girl, saying she witnessed this, that Iraqi soldiers came

into Kuwait and ripped babies out of Kuwaiti incubators.

But she was only referred to as Nayirah at the time of the testimony; it wasn't Nayirah

al-Sabah, so you would know that she's the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador, who also

testified in that hearing?

Correct.

That's all part of the propaganda plan, is to maintain her anonymity to protect her

and her family against reprisals in Kuwait.

That was the cover story.

But, of course, nobody bothered to try to find out who she really was.

They just bought the story hook, line and sinker, even though at the time there were

a couple of human rights investigators who were becoming suspicious.

I got onto the trail after the war, unfortunately, and was able to run down what really had happened,

which was that Hill & Knowlton selected her as a persuasive witness to this atrocity,

and it was all part of a campaign to turn Saddam Hussein, at least in the public consciousness,

into Adolf Hitler.

And the feeling was that they couldn't sell the Gulf War without this.

In other words, they had to cheat to win.

And that's what interests me about the eulogies for George Bush.

He's being presented now as this paragon of kind of WASP respectability and integrity,

old-school, when in fact he was a—had a violent side to him, a very angry and violent

and ruthless side to him.

And when you see him doing the propaganda, using the Hill & Knowlton disinformation,

you see a side of a politician that's kind of ugly.

And we're still—as Juan said, we're still living with the consequences of our

having placed troops in Saudi Arabia, because that's what sets off bin Laden, finally.

And, Rick, in terms of most people—it's been over a quarter-century now.

Most people don't recall the climate then.

But there was significant public opposition to the United States going into Iraq to beat

back the invasion of Kuwait, and the vote to approve the military action was very close,

wasn't it?

So this was crucial, this kind of—this testimony.

Precisely.

You've got to remember, in 1990, '91, we're only—what?—15 years after Vietnam.

And there's still this very, very bad feeling in the country, that's represented in Congress

by senators like John Kerry, that we were conned into Vietnam, it was an undeclared

war, and we weren't going to get conned again into another phony war or a phony pretext.

And so, it was clear that Bush was going to have to get congressional authorization for

invading—for liberating Kuwait.

And so, the vote was going to be very close.

It ended up being 52 to 47.

It would have been 52 to 48 if Alan Cranston, the senator from California, had come back

to Washington to vote.

He said he would have voted if it was close.

He was undergoing chemotherapy in California.

And it's clear that, I mean, numerous representatives and senators cited the baby incubator atrocity,

which was false—it never happened—as a reason for voting for the Gulf War resolution.

In other words, these are people who said, "Well, look, we could figure out other ways

to get Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait—economic sanctions, negotiations."

There was a feeling that this was about oil, it wasn't about principle, even though Bush

posed it as a matter of international law.

But these people said, finally, "Look, if he's really Hitler, if he's really capable

of having an army that slaughters"—and it got to hundreds of babies by the time Amnesty

International gave its official seal of approval to the story.

Now, that's—

Yeah, and I recall the front—

It was inflated.

It got even bigger.

That's very, very important—

Yeah.

—about Amnesty International and the roll that it played.

Right.

Right.

It wasn't just Nayirah.

Wasn't just Nayirah.

Human Rights Watch fell for it.

They were neutral officially.

But Amnesty International actually put the number over 300 babies.

There weren't that many incubators in Kuwait City hospitals.

Now, if you want to go back over the record, you'll see how badly the media, how badly

the press failed in all this by not asking questions.

Well, I remember that my newspaper, the New York Daily News, had a front page: "They

killed babies!"

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And so, the media uncritically accepted this story—

Sure.

—without any kind of check.

And if he's a baby killer, then, well, you know, reasonable people can disagree about

how to enforce international law, how to prevent countries from invading other countries, but

we have to draw the line at baby killing.

And after the war—it's not just me—it's John Martin who did the really good reporting.

He went around to all the hospitals—

For ABC.

For ABC News—did what a reporter should do, unfortunately too late: interviewed hospital

personnel, doctors—did a very thorough job.

Nobody could cite one instance of a baby being pulled from an incubator by Iraqi soldiers

and killed.

There were babies killed because of neglect and because of the American bombardment of

Kuwait and of Iraq, because a lot of hospital personnel fled.

There were casualties.

There were infants who died.

But there were no babies killed by being pulled from incubators.

It never happened.

And this was, I think, as you note, the beginning of a new effort at the—or increased effort

at the propaganda campaigns of our government to justify war.

Right.

And this is something that hasn't been explored enough.

Again, we go back to George Bush's alleged WASP integrity and respectability.

Well, he's also the father of George W. Bush, who took the propaganda campaign a couple

steps further with Saddam's fake atomic bomb program—never happened, never existed,

in the time that we said it was going on.

He may have had ambitions before, but there certainly was no atomic bomb program in 2002,

2003.

But we've now gotten so used to debating whether we should go to war or not based on

fake news—I'm sorry to quote Donald Trump—but false information, that we don't know how

to discuss these subjects anymore.

And the war-making power has been taken out of the hands of the people, almost been taken

out of the hands of the Congress.

It's almost quite—somebody said to me earlier, "Why did Bush bother to ask Congress

for permission to invade Iraq in 1991?"

Well, back then, we were still a little bit more of a constitutionally ruled country.

And there was this bitter memory of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and Vietnam and the fact

that we fought an undeclared war on false pretexts.

We're talking to Rick MacArthur, publisher of Harper's Magazine, author of Second Front:

Censorship and Propaganda in the Gulf War.

The beginning of your book, Second Front: Censorship and Propaganda in the 1991 Gulf

War, is—the first chapter is called "Cutting the Deal."

And you start with a quote of Earl Shorris saying, "Some men are pleased to give orders

and some men are pleased to take orders."

It's really the beginning of the embedding process.

Right.

And explain this highly unusual meeting, August morning in 1990, eight days after Iraqi forces

invaded Kuwait, of the four, at the time—you know, the media landscape is so different—the

four Washington bureau chiefs of the major U.S. television networks presenting themselves

where?

Well, they present themselves at the home of Prince Bandar, who is the Saudi fixer in

the United States.

He's the sort of majordomo of everything that happens Saudi-related in the United States.

And he's the guy that the reporters have to ask for favors.

That's who you go to for help, because the White House and the Pentagon had decided,

from the beginning, we're not going to have another Vietnam.

In other words, we're not going to have another situation where reporters are permitted

to go anywhere they want, take pictures of corpses, take pictures of burning buildings

or helicopters crashing.

We're not going to—because the belief was—the revisionist belief was that we lost

Vietnam because the American public was demoralized by all the bad news coming back on CBS Evening

News and in Newsweek.

So we're not going to let this happen again.

And the decision was made to pool reporters and to censor them.

In other words, you'd send groups of five to the front, wherever the Pentagon decided

the front happened to be that day.

They would get to take pictures and describe things, in theory, but their report would

have to be shared with everybody else—there'd be no competition—and it would have to be

vetted by Pentagon censors.

So, obviously, the American public saw nothing.

The reporters were permitted to see nothing.

And it was kind of comical, finally, to see hundreds of reporters in Dhahran, which is

where the press center was, recycling censored reports from the front which showed nothing.

There were two or three honorable reporters—Chris Hedges, Bob Simon of CBS—who went off the

reservation, so to speak, and saw a little bit, but these were the exceptions.

Susan Sachs from Newsday was another person who tried to do a good job.

Didn't they go to the Saudi ambassador's home, sent there by the Bush administration,

even though the Bush administration was sending soldiers into Saudi Arabia?

When it came to the press getting permission—

Right.

—they said, "You'll have to get permission from Saudi Arabia."

Well, this was a way to lobby the Saudis for favors.

It was still going to be the Pentagon that decided who got to go where when.

But the feeling was, among the networks, was, if we can get Prince Bandar to cut us some—give

us some—do some favors for us, cut us some slack, maybe he can use his influence with

the Bush administration to give us better access than the competition.

And this brings us back to the present day.

I mean, we're in bed with the Saudi Arabians, going back a long way.

And the idea of the American media begging for favors from a Saudi prince, well, it's

an ugly—it's an ugly image.

And it also speaks to the hypocrisy of the American media, back then and still today,

about the First Amendment.

I mean, there were a group of us that sued the Pentagon.

Sydney Schanberg and The Nation and Harper's Magazine, we sued the Pentagon over this.

We lost.

And—over the censorship plan.

But for the most part, Katharine Graham, Sulzberger, the heads of the networks, they didn't do

anything.

That's all in my book also.

You can see the—you can see what they said about it.

We're talking to Rick MacArthur, publisher of Harper's Magazine, author of Second Front:

Censorship and Propaganda in the Gulf War.

We'll be back with him in a minute.

"Combat Rock" by Sleater-Kinney.

And a shout-out to today's class visiting Democracy Now!, Marymount Manhattan College.

This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report.

I'm Amy Goodman, with Juan González, as we look at President George H.W. Bush's

legacy when it comes to war, particularly the Iraq War.

Juan?

Well, Rick, I wanted to ask you, following up on what we were talking about, about the

agreement of many of the major media companies to go along with the censorship protocols

of the Pentagon in the war.

Ironically, this was the first televised—live televised war.

And those of us who remember the pictures of the bombers hitting different parts of

Iraq and Kuwait—so, you had his irony of, on the one hand, there was censorship and

control; on the other hand, it was a televised war, so that the American people got this

idea of these precision-guided bombs that the United States was unleashing on the Iraqi

forces.

Right.

Strictly speaking, it's not the first televised war.

You could say Vietnam is the first televised war.

But—

Live.

Live televised.

But live televised war, yes, in the sense that you have these long press conferences,

if you can call them that, run by Norman Schwarzkopf, the commander of the—the overall commander

of the allied forces, as they were quaintly called, who turns out to be a brilliant PR

man.

And what he understood was, it's better to talk over the reporters at the press conference

and show pictures in real time, if possible—sometimes in real time, sometimes they were videotapes—to

show what the Army was allegedly doing before anybody could check it out.

So, he brilliantly—I mean, it looks very old-fashioned.

He's got a television set, set up on the stage in Dhahran, showing allegedly precision-guided—precision

missiles hitting their targets every time, to make people—give people the feeling that

the American Army is invincible.

Let's turn to the U.S. military commander in charge of Iraq, who you're referring

to—

Right, right.

—General Norman Schwarzkopf.

During a news conference January 31st, 1991, he explains how the U.S. has been targeting

Iraq's Scud missiles.

Last night in western Iraq, we also attacked and destroyed three Scud TELs with F-15s,

and I feel we preempted a missile attack on Israel last night.

Now, I certainly can't say there will be no more Scud launches.

You can never say that.

But I have a high degree of confidence that we are getting better and better at our ability

to find them, and I think this tape speaks for itself in our ability to find them and

destroy them.

That's Norman Schwarzkopf, General Norman Schwarzkopf.

Right.

And the day before, actually, they showed pictures of them, of the United States Air

Force, allegedly blowing up Scud missile—mobile Scud missile launchers, because at that point

people were very upset and frightened that the Iraqis were going to hit targets in Israel.

They did get a couple of Scuds through the defenses into Israel.

So they had to have results.

They had to show that they were taking out the Scud missile launchers.

And so they claimed to have knocked out 11 of them.

After the war, Scott Ritter and Mark Crispin Miller did some good reporting and refuted

this, said that no Scud missile launchers were blown up.

But the—mobile Scud missile launchers.

But the point is, is that in real time, the press, the media, could not challenge anything

that was said.

Here's the video.

Here are the generals with their pointers.

How can you argue with this?

And there's nobody on the ground, no reporters in the field, who can verify anything or contradict

anything.

It's not easy even under the freest circumstances in wartime to confirm or refute what the government

says.

But there's zero chance in this war.

So the American public gets the impression that it's a clean war, a sanitized war;

we're hitting every target.

One of the great statistics to know is that 93 percent of the tonnage dropped on Iraq

and Kuwait in the Gulf War was conventional dumb bombs, most of them from Vietnam-era

B-52s.

Only 7 percent of the tonnage fired were laser-guided missiles, which is what they're talking

about here.

So it's–

So, it's possible to say that it was under George—

Yeah.

I mean, George Herbert Walker Bush that the United States government perfected the propaganda

control of media coverage of the war.

Yes.

And none of these things are new.

In other words, if you go back to World War I, you've got Belgian babies were being

bayoneted by the Germans.

I mean, it's an old—it's an old propaganda trick.

So, killing babies has been used before.

But in terms of actual technical sophistication, using the latest media technology to subvert

democracy and to manipulate people and to make them feel good about the war, ultimately,

Schwarzkopf, CENTCOM, Pete Williams at the Pentagon and the Bush administration, this

was the pièce de résistance.

Your final thoughts, in the last 30 seconds, on the review of President George H.W. Bush's

life that we're seeing in the media today?

Well, I'm horrified.

There was a column in The Wall Street Journal yesterday by William McGurn headlined "George

Bush's Wonderful Life," where he literally compares him to George Bailey in It's a

Wonderful Life, which is crazy on its face, because George Bailey is a kind of populist.

He's opposed to the power of Mr. Potter and his bank and so on and so forth.

But George Bush was not a peace-loving guy.

I'll never forget George McGovern saying to me—and George McGovern—

We have 15 seconds.

—having been a bomber pilot in World War II—saying, "You know, most of us came

back from World War II—most of us who came back from World War II had had enough.

Bush didn't get enough, didn't get enough violence."

We're going to have to leave it there.

Finally It's Happening! US Border Patrol Chief Just Confirmed The Caravans Last Day At The Border!!! - Duration: 15:10.

Finally It's Happening! US Border Patrol Chief Just Confirmed The Caravans Last Day At The Border

the Trump administration meeting with Mexican officials in Washington today

talks are expected to focus on solving the migrant crisis at the southern

border the news comes as officials in Tijuana shut down an overcrowded shelter

over unsanitary conditions all right let's bring in Karl Provost she's at the

u.s. Border Patrol on a daily basis she's the chief there are you optimistic

that this talks with Mexico will help your job get easier well it's certainly

something that we want to go well as as always we work closely with the

government of Mexico and we want to ensure that we do that moving forward

especially in dealing with this caravan crisis especially when you see the weak

way in which they handled their southern border it's set up the problems we're

having in our southern border are they ever going to get serious about about

controlling their southern border we work with them closely when it comes to

both their northern border and the southern border they have been working

diligently throughout when it comes to this caravan and trying to deal with the

situation I think as best they can in Mexico you're you're down there you know

exactly what's going on if you had a message for the president what needs to

be done if you could fix this what would you send what message would you send to

him or to Congress well definitely we need more wall we

need more manpower we need Congress to fix the loopholes in the laws until

those loopholes are fixed what this situation is not well in particular with

the family units and the ability to come to this country and be released into the

United States while awaiting a court date that is is long down the road we

need Congress to act and deal with the immigration laws and see if they can fix

that situation for us otherwise the pull factor is going to continue to be there

and these individuals are going to keep coming all right chief give us an update

on what's going on with the caravan we know they had been in one particular

stadium but the conditions were dreadful there they've moved them about ten miles

further away I think from the border what is the status yes that is correct

they have moved them to another shelter this is part of the challenge

that the government of Mexico is having to deal with with this large of a number

of individuals right now there's approximately 7400 Caravan members in

the Tijuana area and as you stated the the one shelter was closed down they

have opened up another one and they are trying to find placement for others as

we continue to work with the government of Mexico to try to get these

individuals to present themselves at the port of entry for inspection

chief the president soleares when it comes to the issues that you have in

doing your job and the problems you're having

so therefore would you support and do your other of your co-workers cohorts

support the president making a stand to get the five billion to continue the

quest to get a legitimate barrier on the southern border would you before that

definitely we we need that barrier I think last weekend's example in San

Diego with the old barrier not holding up that's a prime example of why we need

this barrier and the and the president has been supporting us from day one with

that requirement well she is the chief of the u.s. Border Patrol

Carla Provost thank you very much Carla thanks for having me migrant caravan

from Honduras was headed for this country but was stopped short in Mexico

and is now occupying the border city of Tijuana local residents in Tijuana are

getting increasingly fed up about its presence

anar Lopez is a municipal delegate for downtown Tijuana he recently said that

the caravan leaders tricked people into traveling north was fault with false

promises yes is that Caravan members would be better off returning to their

home countries Delia Lopez joins us tonight Mr Lopez thank you very much for

coming on hi good evening from Tijuana thanks thank you

I'm looking at a picture of you with some kind of encampment behind you will

you tell our viewers what we're looking at yes we are outside of sports facility

we called unidad benito juarez and this was like an emergency shelter for them

when they first got here that were like 360 my

grunts coming here and they walk all the way to the border where the border mids

are surf because they were going to try and cross through the see through the

beach or jump the fence and when we stopped them there we had to bring them

over here because the neighbors from from that from that part of town

it's called pliers at the corners like Tijuana by the sea they were getting mad

and they even started throwing stones at each other so we have more here like 360

but things got out of hand because we kept growing and growing this is a

federal issue there's not a municipal issue but we were carrying the load the

financial load of of keeping these people with medicine food shelter

blankets and whatever and Wisconsin is taking help from though

I'm sorry to interrupt but behind you it seems that somebody is cleaning up

garbage is there a lot of trash there there's a lot of trash because what I

was trying to tell you the 360 grew to 6200 and that's one is what got our hand

so we got another facility it's a big concert hall where you can have like

10,000 people under roof we send them over here but it has to be voluntary

because the people from human rights they have their delegates here too and

they want to treat have wanted to treat them to kindly so the ones who didn't

want to go are staying here so there's like 1500 people here there's 2200

people there and there's like 2,000 people that we are not accounted for

unaccounted for what do you think so those basically you have illegal aliens

from Honduras in Tijuana how do you feel about that yeah well I've heard that

like Border Patrol has been going up in the tensions like 100 150 what the

tensions a day that they're used to there was an accident in freeway 8 that

connects San Diego to Calexico I think there were three on Durin's there on

that there were like eight people in a pickup

truck bed and so some of them have made it across not a lot but some of them but

most of them some are staying here they're the ones that are outside here

on the street they said because they already started their their paperwork

for getting work permits here in Mexico they want to stay in Mexico they know

that they somebody pop the bubble of their American Dream and they're saying

here like 200 have been repatriated home voluntarily and we have deported more

than 200 there's been like 236 detained by police and we send those to the

immigration system so you you're dealing with several thousand unwanted

immigrants in Tijuana the United States right now has about 22 million illegal

aliens living within our borders can you understand now that you're you're seeing

this firsthand the frustration of some Americans about that yeah yeah people

here that the people from Tijuana are frustrated if these people came here

legally if they went to our border and they started you know work visa student

visa through his visa there would be the problem a lot of them do that and they

try to work up to to the border and they try to do their their paperwork also it

with CBP n and your authorities to go legally into the United States a lot of

them have families there a lot of them have families in Canada I've talked with

people from the Canadian embassy they have program that unites family Mexicans

who are or Hondurans who are working there and and they have pieces for that

but these guys didn't cross illegally into Mexico they tore down or born

elegant and jump then they started this caravan and right now in the state

there's like 80 200 it's not a big knock around compared to what happens in the

United States but it there well it's not but I'm sympathetic so so finally how

are you gonna respond when this happens again because this will not likely be

the last Caravan that comes through Tijuana

yes we have a change of president this president has a very different mindset

from the left president this president says welcome we're going to give you

jobs we're going to great create opportunities for you and things like

that and we're worried definer we're worried because they're saying that but

they're not helping us we are we have we aren't getting any federal help right

now and we're waiting for that to happen and in the next days the other shelter

this was in charge of the town of Tijuana the other chapter we're gonna

cheer over to the federal authorities and they have to take care of it well we

feel for you mr. Lopez and I hope you'll come back on and tell it tell us how

it's going thank you very much we hope we've got better before he's got worse

lewis miranda is a former DNC communications director and he joins us

tonight Lewis thanks a lot for coming on hey thanks Tucker I appreciate the

opportunity have an honest conversation on this particularly as we're all just

remembering President George HW Bush who taught us that we can disagree on some

of these issues but do it respectfully so I really had the chance to do this

yeah I went to the Capitol yesterday just after leaving the studio to see him

took my kids and that one of the things we talked about is that there's gonna be

different perspectives on these issues but we can talk about them respect right

and I think what you've laid out here brings up some very legitimate issues

the question is so there's that that's what I like about what's happening in

Tijuana and I feel deeply for the people of Tijuana because I think they're going

through what if a lot of Americans have gone through but because it is Tijuana

and it is Mexico we can't dismiss them as anti-hispanic and so we have to look

more clearly at what their concerns are and so my question she was a very simple

and looking at the concerns that we just played on tape and those are real does

it make you a little more empathetic toward our fellow Americans who have

similar feelings I think we have to be empathetic all around here which

includes people who have legitimate concerns but a lot of those concerns are

being stoked without a basis of reality and and so here's the problem that a lot

of these immigrants that are part of this Caravan are decent people who are

fleeing their violence or economic situations that are untenable but

they're victims all around because they're being victimized by human

traffickers and smugglers that want to take advantage of them

that I grant and so there's actually an AP analysis

that just came out that 4,000 of these people have disappeared in the last few

years on the web in other words their families have no idea what happened to

them they either got murdered or worse just along the way and so there's a

legitimate humanitarian crisis of people who were being taken that icon that I

totally agree but I just want to shine the light on the victims who don't

really get representation of any kind in the press and those are the citizens who

are having to absorb large populations of and I agree with you largely decent

people I think most migrants want what I want which is a better family for that

and better life for their families I guess it's exactly what summer criminals

know I've always thought that this is not but I think it's really but it's

important to empathize as deeply with the citizens whose lives are being

upended by the arrival of these immigrants as is with the immigrants

themselves so when you see this can you say that you know American citizens say

I don't want any more immigration we've we've had more than we can handle

they're not just racists are they I mean they have a point do they not I don't

think they're racists I think it's important that they also understand the

other side of this which is that immigrants have actually made our

economy a lot stronger through the years you touched on it a little bit at the

beginning let me add some color to that which includes that our population is

ageing we have baby boomers retiring and a lot of the people that we are able to

replace in the economy are because of immigration now we want to do that

ideally in a legal and orderly fashion but no no hold on I need to ask I need

to ask this question you say our population is aging

we're not reproducing ourselves why do you think that is nobody seems to pause

and ask why can't you Americans afford to get married and have children afford

to buy homes and cars and their solution the elite solutions will just bring in

new people but what about the Americans the young people the 30 year old

American I can't afford to have kids does anybody care about that person I

mean maybe there's a real problem here that we what really because I never hear

that person addressed ever nation it's an industrialized country issue more

than America but hold on I'm an American okay so my concern is for my fellow

Americans and they can't afford to have children but rather than fix their

problems or even think about them or like we'll just import new children does

it to approach this we should be able to do

both look over the last 10 years American companies and stocks have

outperformed the rest of the world by a lot American companies and the economy

have been so strong over the last ten years compared to anything else in the

world and part of the reason for that is because we have an economy that is

constantly renewing itself and so we absolutely should be able to have an

economy where people who want to have children can do so but it doesn't mean

what we did space to absorb it your no no but that's not what you're saying

hold on you just said we need to bring in people because Americans aren't

reproducing in sufficient numbers and my question is why aren't our leaders

thinking about how our people can afford to have children they don't even

consider that a subject worth studying much less trying to fix it's just like

oh well they're not having enough kids enough those are mutually exclusive you

know you're saying that our low birth rates are the justification for

immigration I'm saying our low birth rates are a tragedy that say something

awful about our economy and the selfish stupidity of our leaders that

combination of our growth and our prosperity that is enables us to have a

stronger economy so there's there's definitely a both sides to this where

you can look at well who are gonna be hurt but when you looked at states like

Georgia and others that have implemented anti-immigrant measures that forced a

lot of these immigrants out what you saw was you know food rotting on the vines a

lot of lost crops because there weren't enough people there to work them and so

the reality is is that we can both do something that's actually economy for

people who are suffering is so and who are American and who have lived here

their whole lives they want to have children they won't have an opportunity

to do better than yet there maybe someone should care about them a little

bit absolutely it's the most important thing that we have to demonize the

immigrants who are legitimate victims demonizing anybody I'm not against the

immigrants I'm just um for Americans and nobody cares about them it's like shut

up you're dying we're gonna replace you and it's deeply if it anyway we're out

of time I hope you will come back because I enjoyed that conversation

thank you likewise Tucker thank you thank you god bless you and God bless

your glory your son shall no more go down or your moon withdraw itself for

the Lord will be your everlasting light and your days of mourning shall be ended

the word of the Lord

the story was almost over even before it had fully begun shortly after dawn on

Saturday September 2nd 1944 lieutenant junior grade George Herbert Walker Bush

joined by two crew mates took off from the USS San Jacinto to

attack a radio tower on chichi Jima as they approached the target the air was

heavy with flak the plane was hit smoke filled the cockpit flames raced across

the wings my god lieutenant Bush thought this thing's gonna go down yet he kept

the plane and it's 35 degree dive dropped his bombs and then roared off

out to sea telling his crew mates to hit the silk following protocol lieutenant

Bush turned the plane so they could bail out only then did Bush parachute from

the cockpit the wind propelled him backward and he gashed his head on the

tail of the plane as he flew through the sky he plunged deep into the ocean Bob

to the surface and flopped onto a tiny raft his head bleeding his eyes burning

his mouth and throat raw from saltwater the future 41st president of the United

States was alone sensing that his men had not made it he was overcome he felt

the weight of responsibility as a nearly physical burden and he wept then at four

minutes shy of noon a submarine emerged to rescue the downed pilot George

Herbert Walker Bush was safe the story his story and ours would go on by God's

grace through the ensuing decades President Bush would frequently ask

nearly daily he'd ask himself why me why was I spared and in a sense the rest of

his life was a perennial effort to prove himself worthy of his salvation on that

distant morning to him his life was no longer his own there were always more

missions to undertake more lives to touch and more love to give and what a

headlong race he made of it all he never slowed down on the primary campaign

trail in New Hampshire once he grabbed the hand of a department store mannequin

asking for votes when he realized his mistake he said never know gotta ask

you can hear the voice can't you as Dana Carvey said the key to a Bush 41

impersonation is mr. Rogers trying to be John Wayne George Herbert Walker Bush

was America's last great soldier statesman a 20th century founding father

he governed with virtues that most closely resemble those of Washington and

of Adams of TR and of FDR of Truman and of eisenhower of men who believed in

causes larger than themselves

six-foot-two handsome dominant in person President Bush spoke with those big

strong hands making fists to underscore points a master of what Franklin

Roosevelt called the science of human relationships

he believed that to whom much was given much is expected

and because life gave him so much he gave back again and again and again he

stood in the breach in the Cold War against totalitarianism he stood in the

breach in Washington against unthinking partisanship he stood in the breach

against tyranny and discrimination and on his watch a wall fell in Berlin a

dictators aggression did not stand and doors across America opened to those

with disabilities and in his personal life he stood in the breach against

heartbreak and hurt always offering an outstretched hand a warm word a

sympathetic tear if you were down he would rush to lift

you up and if you were soaring he would rush to savor your success strong and

gracious comforting and charming loving and loyal he was our shield in dangers

hour now of course there was ambition to

loads of that to serve he had to succeed to preside he had to prevail politics he

once admitted isn't a pure undertaking not if you want to win it's not an

imperfect man he left us a more perfect union it must

be said that for a keenly intelligent statesman of stirring almost

unparalleled private eloquence public speaking was not exactly a strong suit

fluency in English President Bush once remarked it's something that I'm often

not accused of looking ahead to the 88 election he observed and arguably it's

no exaggeration to say that the undecideds could go one way or the other

and late in his presidency he allowed that we're enjoying sluggish times but

we're not enjoying them very much

his tongue may have run amok at moments but his heart was steadfast his life

code as he said was tell the truth don't blame people be strong do your best try

hard forgive stay the course and that was and is the most American of Creed's

Abraham Lincoln's better angels of our nature

and George HW Bush's thousand points of light our companion verses in America's

national hymn for Lincoln and Bush both called on us to choose the right over

the convenient to hope rather than to fear and to heed not our worst impulses

but our best instincts in this work he had the most wonderful of allies and

Barbara Pierce Bush his wife of 73 years he called her bard the Silver Fox and

when the situation warrantied the enforcer he was the only boy she ever

kissed her children mrs. Bush liked to say always wanted to throw up when they

heard that in a letter to Barbara during the war young George HW Bush had written

I love you precious with all my heart and to know that you love me means my

life how lucky our children will be to have a mother like you and as they will

tell you they surely were as Vice President Bush once visited a children's

leukemia ward in Cracow 35 years before he and Barbara had lost a daughter

to the disease in Krakow a small boy wanted to greet the American vice

president learning that the child was sick with the cancer that had taken

Robin Bush began to cry to his diary later that day the vice president said

this my eyes flooded with tears and behind me was a bank of television

cameras and I thought I can't turn around

I can't dissolve because of personal tragedy in the face of the nurses that

give of themselves every day so I stood there looking at this little guy

tears running down my cheek hoping he wouldn't see but if he did hoping he'd

feel that I loved him that was the real George HW Bush a loving man with a big

vibrant all-enveloping heart and so we ask as we commend his

soul to God and as he did why him why was he spared the workings of Providence

our mysterious but this much is clear the George Herbert Walker Bush who

survived that fiery fall into the waters of the Pacific three-quarters of a

century ago made our lives and the lives of Nations freer better warmer and

nobler that was his mission that was his heartbeat and if we listen closely

enough we can hear that heartbeat even now for

it's the heartbeat of a lion a lion who not only led us but who loved us that's

why him that's why he was spared

a reading from revelation to Saint John then I saw a new heaven and a new earth

for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and the sea was no more

and I saw the holy city the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from

God prepared as a bride adorned for her husband and I heard a loud voice from

the throne saying see the home of God is among mortals he will dwell with them

they will be his people and God Himself will be with them he will wipe every

tear from their eyes death will be no more mourning and crying and pain will

be no more for the first things have passed away then he said to me it is

done I am the Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end to the thirsty I

will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life those who

conquer will inherit these things and I will be their God and they will be my

children and the city has no need of Sun or moon to shine on it for the glory of

God is its light and the lamp is the lamb the nation's will walk by its light

and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it its gates will never

be shut by day and there will be no night there the word of the Lord

do you remember where you were the summer you left your teenage years

behind and turned 20 well I was working as a laborer in my hometown in northern

Quebec trying to make enough money to get back into law school it was a tough

job but I was safe and secure and had the added benefit of my mother's home

cooking every night on September 2nd 1944 as we have just heard so eloquently

from John 20 year old lieutenant George Bush was preparing to attack Japanese

war installations in the Pacific he was part of a courageous generation of young

Americans who led the charge against overwhelming odds in the historic and

bloody battle for supremacy in the Pacific against the colossal military

might of Imperial Japan that's what George Bush did the summer he turned 20

many men of different talents and skills have served as president and many more

will do so as the decades unfold bringing new strength and glory to these

United States of America and 50 or a hundred years from now as historians

review the accomplishments and the context of all who have served as

president I believe it will be said that in the life of this country the United

States which is in my judgment the greatest Democratic Republic that God

has ever placed on the face of this earth I believe it will be said that no

occupant of the Oval Office was more courageous more principled

and more honorable than George Herbert Walker Bush George Bush was a man of

high accomplishment he also had a delightful sense of humor and was a lot

of fun at his first NATO meeting in Brussels as the new American president

he sat opposite me actually that day George was taking copious notes as the

heads of government spoke we were all limited in time but you know it's very

flattering to have the President of the United States take notes as you speak

and even someone as modest as me threw in a few more adjectives here and there

to extend the pleasure of the experience after president met aha

Prime Minister Thatcher and Chancellor Kohl had spoken it was true the turn of

the prime minister of Iceland who as President Bush continued to write went

on and on and on and on ending only when the

Secretary General of NATO firmly decreed a coffee break George put down his pen

walked over to me and said Brian I've just learned the fundamental principle

of International Affairs I said what's that George he said the smaller the

country the longer the speech

in the second year of the Bush presidency responding to implacable

pressures from the Reagan and Bush administration's the Soviet Union

imploded this was in my judgment the most epical

event political event of the 20th century an ominous situation that could

have become extremely menacing to world security was instead deftly challenged

by the leadership of President Bush into the broad and powerful currents of

freedom providing the Russian people with the opportunity to build an

embryonic democracy in a country that had been ruled by czars and tyrants for

over a thousand years and then as of the Berlin wall collapsed soon thereafter

and calls for freedom cascaded across Central and Eastern Europe leaving

dictators and dogma in the trashcan of history no challenge no challenge

assumed greater importance for Western solidarity than the unification of

Germany within an unswerving NATO but all fears in Western Europe and

unrelenting hostility by the military establishment in the Soviet Union and

the Warsaw Pact rendered this initiative among the most complex and sensitive

ever undertaken one serious misstep and this entire

process could have been compromised perhaps irretrievably there's obviously

no more knowledgeable or competent judge what really happened at this most vital

juncture of the 20th century then Chancellor Helmut Kohl of Germany in a

speech to a parliamentary commission of the Bundestag

Chancellor cold said categorically that this historic

initiative of German reunification could never ever have succeeded without the

brilliant leadership of President Bush much has been written about the first

Gulf War simply put the coalition of 29 disparate nations assembled under the

aegis of the United Nations including for the first time many influential Arab

countries and led by the United States will rank with the most spectacular and

successful international initiatives ever undertaken in modern history

designed to punish an aggressor defend the cause of freedom and ensure order in

a region that had seen too much of the opposite for far too long

this was President Bush's initiative from beginning to end

President Bush was also responsible for the North American Free Trade Agreement

recently modernized and improved by new administration's which created the

largest and richest free trade area in the history of the world while also

signing into law the Americans with Disabilities Act which transformed the

lives of millions and millions of Americans forever President Bush's

decision to go forward with strong environmental legislation including the

Clean Air Act that resulted in the acid rain accord with Canada is a splendid

gift to future generations of Americans and Canadians to savor in the air they

breathe and the water they drink and the forests they enjoy and the lakes rivers

and streams they cherish there's a word for this

it's called leadership leadership and let me tell you that when

George Bush was President of the United States of America every single head of

government in the world knew that they were dealing with the gentleman a

genuine leader one who was distinguished resolute and brave I don't keep a diary

but occasionally I write private notes after important personal or professional

events one occurred at walkers point in Kennebunkport Maine on September 2nd

2001 Neal and I had been spending our traditional Labor Day weekend with

George and Barbara towards the end he and I had a long private conversation my

notes capture the moment I told George how I thought his mood had shifted over

the last eight years from a series of frustrations and moments of despondency

in 1993 to the high enthusiasm that I felt at the Houston launch of the

presidential library George w's election as governor in November of that year to

the delight following Jeb's election in 1998 followed by their great pride and

pleasure with George W s election to the presidency and perhaps most importantly

to the serenity we found today in both Barbara and George they are truly at

peace with themselves joyous in what they and the children have achieved

gratified by the goodness that God has bestowed upon them all and genuinely

content with the thrill and promise of each

passing day and at that George had tears in his eyes as I spoke said you know

Bryan you've got us pegged just right and the rollercoaster of emotions we've

experienced since 1992 come with me he led me down the porch at walkers point

to the side of the house that fronts the ocean and pointed to a small simple

plaque that had been unobtrusively installed just some days earlier it read

see a vu George said Bryan this stands for ceiling and visibility

unlimited when I was a terrified 18 to 19 year old pilot in the Pacific those

those were the words we hope to hear before takeoff it meant perfect flying

and that's the way I feel about our life today see a vu everything is perfect

Barr and I could not have asked for better lives we are truly happy and

truly at peace as I looked over the waters of walkers point on that golden

September afternoon in Maine I was reminded of the Lions simple and true

but speak to the real nature of George Bush and his love of his wonderful

family and precious surroundings there are wooden ships

there are sailing ships there are ships that sail the sea but the best ships are

friendships and may they always be

relax George told me I only had ten minutes

he was very direct about it it wasn't even funny now I first met my friend my

dear friend George Bush in 1962 when my father Miller Simpson was a member of

the United States Senate and just elected and I came to after Washington

with dad to settle on his new office being vacated by one senator Prescott

Bush George's father well then we met again when my parents left Washington

and sold their home to a brand-spanking-new congressman from

Texas named George Herbert Walker Bush so George and Barbara mom and pop did

that sale on a handshake sound familiar then I came to the Senate in 1978 and

soon after that Ronald Reagan cornered me and asked me to support him for

president and I said I would not knowing that my friend George would enter the

fray hearing that I called and I said George want to tell you I'd love to help

but I'm already committed to Ronald Reagan George's response well hell I'm

sorry about that I probably should have let you know sooner and actually a guy

doesn't get very many calls from a friend who says they can't support him

sound familiar of course it does because in George Bush

his theme of life during all the highs and lows there was a simple credo what

would we do without family and friends and when he became vice president our

friendship enjoyable friendship was refreshed and the four of us had many

many pleasant times together and my life in Washington was rather tumultuous

I went from the asocial list to the Z and never came back to the a head

in one dark period I was feeling awful low and all my wounds were

self-inflicted all of them and George called me early one morning always early

in the morning country music playing in the background

and he said AHA I see the media is shooting you pretty full of holes

actually he said it a bit more pungently than that and he said why don't we go to

Camp David you and then come over and we'll have a weekend together at that

time his popularity rating was 93% lion was point you know in the tree house so

off we went media of course all gathered as we

headed to marine one and George said now wave to your pals over there in the

media Al and they didn't wave back

so next morning he's wrapping the strew all the papers in the US and he looks up

and he said haha here's the one I've been looking for a picture of Barbara

and and George with his arm and hand on my back and later we're having a sauna

and I said George I am NOT unmindful as to what you are doing you are propping

up your old wounded duck towel well you're at the top of your game you reach

out to me while I'm tangled in rich controversy and taking my lumps and he

said yep there were staff members ell who told me not to do this but Al this

is about friendship and loyalty sounds familiar well we have an awful

lot of fun too always a delight to be in the president's box at the Kennedy

Center off to a play at the National Theater of the Warner with the bushes

and outside of the president's box one evening there was a massive six-foot

vase but an extraordinary glaze I hope you know the difference to here in a

vase and of Oz thirty-five bucks

now George walked up to it and he said he'll wait I think that's at Ruskin I

noticed that he said this blue gray glaze from that period the clay that

could only be found during that era and I said no no George

the patina there gives me the perception it was possibly older perhaps of Greek

origin with that particular herbal paste before firing of course people get their

ground mumbling about these expert observers and Barbarin and finally came

by and said get out of here both of you get back to that box well we did well it

was impressive for a while and then of course one night the four was one to see

Michael Crawford singing the songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber all four of us were

singing as we went back to the white house don't cry for me Argentina

and tidbits from Phantom of the Opera and other magic of Weber and a few days

later he's getting hammered by the press for some extraordinarily petty bit of

trivia and suddenly he sings out don't cry for me Argentina the press then

wrote that he was finally losing his marbles

now these honored guests right here before us who have held this noble post

know all of the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune he was a class act

from birth to death he has the strong sinews in mind and body gained from that

extraordinary mother we compared our mothers as veiled with hammers of course

and certainly most awesome fathers the history books will and are treating him

most fairly while uncovering some other powerful traits his great

competitiveness his raw courage and his self-discipline

recall the Andrews Air Base Conclave where congressional participants drafted

a remarkable bill that dealt with two-year budgeting entitlement reform

comprehensive and catastrophic health care Social Security solvency and much

more but it required a critical ingredient called revenue translated

into the word taxes translated into the words read my lips

and the group went to George and said look we can get this package done but we

must have some revenue and he said I'll never forget he said what I have said on

that subject sure puts a hell of a lot of heat on me and then they all said yes

but we can get it done and it will be bipartisan and George said okay go for

it but it will be a real punch in the gut

well I'll dole them a loyal warrior for George took it back to the Senate and we

want a very strong bipartisan vote and what order the house for his own party

turned on him surely one of the main factors assuring his return to private

life but he often said when the really tough choices come is the country not me

it's not about Democrats or Republicans it's for our country that I have fought

for and he was a man of such great humility those who travel the high road

of humility in Washington DC are not bothered by heavy traffic

and he had a very serious flaw known by all

close to it he loved a good joke the Richard the better and he threw his head

back and give their great laugh but he never ever could remember a punchline

and I mean never so the punchline for George Herbert Walker Bush is this you

would have wanted him on your side he never lost his sense of humor humor is

the universal solvent against the abrasive elements of life

that's what humor it he never hated anyone he knew what his mother and my

mother always knew hatred corrodes the container it's carried in the most

decent and honorable person I ever met with my friend George Bush one of

nature's noble men his epitaph perhaps just a single letter the letter L for

loyalty if course through his blood loyalty to

his country loyalty to his family loyalty to his friends loyal to the

institutions of government and always always always a friend to his friends

none of us were ready for this day we mourn his loss from our own wives and

what he was to each of us that is so personal so intimate so down inside it

would have been so much easier to celebrate his life with him here but he

is gone irrevocably gone so now we we have loosed our grip upon him but we

shall always retain his memory in our hearts God has come now to take him back

we all knew on one unknown day he would return to his God

now we give him up we commend him to your loving hands thank you for him God

rest his soul

in the long and honored history of America there are names like

those who pay the last and fine

Jed Neil Marvin daro and I and our families thank you all for being here I

once heard it said of man that the idea is to die young as late as possible at

age 85 a favorite pastime of George HW Bush was firing up his boat to fidelity

and opening up the three 300 horsepower engines to fly joyfully fly across the

Atlantic with the Secret Service boats straining to keep up at age 90 George HW

Bush parachuted out of an aircraft and landed on the grounds of st. Anne's by

the sea in Kennebunkport Maine the church where his mom was married and

where he worshipped often mother like to say he chose the location just in case

the chute didn't open

in his 90s he took great delight when his closest pal James a baker smuggled a

bottle of Grey Goose vodka into his hospital room apparently it paired well

with the state Baker had delivered from Morton's to his very last dazed as life

was instructive as he aged he taught us how to grow with dignity humor and

kindness and when the good Lord finally called how to meet him with courage and

with the joy of the promise of what lies ahead one reason dad knew how to die

young is that he almost did it twice when he was a teenager a staph infection

nearly took his life few years later he was alone in the Pacific on a life raft

praying that his rescuers would find him before the enemy did God answered those

prayers it turned out he had other plans for George HW Bush for dads part I think

those brushes with death meeting cherished the gift of life and he vowed

to live every day to the fullest dad was always busy a man in constant motion but

never too busy to share his love of life with those around him he taught us to

love the outdoors he loved watching dogs flush a covey he loved landing the

elusive striper and once confined to a wheelchair he seemed happy a sitting in

his favorite perch on the back porch at walkers point contemplating the majesty

of the Atlantic that horizons he saw were bright and hopeful he was a

genuinely optimistic man and that optimism guided his children and made

each of us believe that anything was possible

he continually broaden his horizons with daring decisions

he was a patriot after high school he put College on hold and became a Navy

fighter pilot as world war ii broke out like many of his generation he never

talked about his service until his time as a public figure forced his hand we

learned of the attack on chichi Jima the mission completed the shoot-down we

learned of the death of his crewmates whom he thought about throughout his

entire life and we learned of the rescue and then another audacious decision

he moved his young family from the comforts of the East Coast to Odessa

Texas he and mom adjusted to their arid surroundings quickly

he's a tolerant man after all he was kind and neighborly to the women with

whom he mom and I shared a bathroom in our small duplex even after you learned

their profession ladies of the night

dad could relate to people from all walks of life

he was an empathetic man he valued character over pedigree and he was no

cynic he looked for the good a nice person and he usually found it dad

taught us that public service is noble and necessary that one can serve with

integrity and hold true to the important values like faith and family he strongly

believed that it was important to give back to the community and country in

which one lived he recognized as serving others enriched the giver soul to us his

was the brightest of a thousand points of light in victory he shared credit

when he lost he shouldered the blame he accepted that failure is a part of

living a full life but taught us never to be defined by failure he showed us

how setbacks can strengthen none of his disappointments could compare with one

of life's greatest tragedies the loss of a young child Jeb and I were too young

to remember the pain and agony he and mom felt when our three year old sister

died we only learned later that Dad a man of quiet faith prayed for her daily

he was sustained by the love of the Almighty and the real and enduring love

of her mom dad always believed that one day he would hug his precious Robin

again he loved to laugh especially at himself he could tease a needle but

never out of malice he placed great value on a good joke so I chose Simpson

to speak

on email he had a circle of friends with whom he shared or received the latest

jokes his grading system for the quality of the joke was classic George Bush the

rare sevens and eights were considered huge winners most of mauve color George

Bush knew how to be a true and loyal friend he nurtured and honored many his

many friendships with a generous in giving soul there exist thousands of

handwritten notes encouraging or sympathizing or thanking his friends and

acquaintances he had an enormous capacity to give of himself many a

person would tell you that dad became a mentor and a father figure in their life

he listened and he consoled he was their friend

I think of Don Rhodes Taylor Blanton Jim Nantz Arnold

Schwarzenegger and perhaps the unlikeliest of all the man who defeated

him Bill Clinton my siblings and I refer to

the guys in this group as brothers from other mothers he taught us that a day

was not meant to be wasted he played golf at a legendary pace I always wonder

why I insisted on speed golf he's a good golfer well here's my conclusion he

played fast so he can move on to the next event to enjoy the rest of the day

to expend his enormous energy to live at all he was born with just two settings

full throttle then sleep

taught us what it means to be a wonderful father a grandfather and

great-grandfather he was firm in his principles and supportive as we began to

seek her own ways he encouraged and comforted but never steered we tested

his patience I know I did but he always responded with the great

gift of unconditional love last Friday when I was told he had minister live I

called him the guy answered the phone said he I think he can hear you but he

hadn't said anything for most of the day I said dad I love you and you've been a

wonderful father and the last words he would ever say on earth were I love you

too to us he was close to perfect but not totally perfect his short game was

lousy he wasn't exactly Fred Astaire on the dance floor the man couldn't stomach

vegetables especially broccoli

and by the way he passed these genetic defects along to us

finally every day of a 73 years of marriage dad taught us all what it means

to be a great husband he married a sweetheart he adored her he laughed and

cried with her he was dedicated to her totally in his old age dad enjoyed

watching police show reruns volume on high

all the while holding mom's hand after mom died dad was strong but all he

really wanted to do was hold mom's hand again of course dad taught me another

special lesson he showed me what it means to be a president who serves with

integrity leads with courage and acts with love and his heart for the citizens

of our country when the history books are written they will say that George HW

Bush was a great president of the United States a diplomat of unmatched skill a

commander-in-chief of formidable accomplishment and a gentleman who

executed the duties of his office with dignity and honor in his inaugural

address the 41st president of the United States said this we cannot hope only to

leave our children a bigger car a bigger bank account we must hope to give them a

sense of what it means to be a loyal friend a loving parent a citizen who

leaves his home his neighborhood and town better than he found it what do we

want the men and women who work with us to save when we are no longer there that

we were more driven to succeed than anyone around us or that we stopped to

ask if a sick child had gotten better and stayed a moment there to trade a

word of friendship well dad we're gonna remember you for exactly that and much

more and we're going to miss you your decency sincerity and kind soul will

stay with us forever so through our tears let us know the blessings of

knowing and loving you a great and noble man the best father a son or daughter

could have and in our grief but a smile knowing that dad is hugging Robyn and

holding mom's hand again

please stand

the holy gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew

jesus said you are the light of the world a city on a hill cannot be hidden

neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl instead they put it on

its stand and it gives light to everyone in the house in the same way let your

light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your father

in heaven the gospel of the Lord

Almighty God of all comfort console us of all light strengthen us of all love

inspire us to love you and to love those you send our way amen

well please be seated it is a tremendous honor to follow these

speakers and especially someone whom I admire so much our 43rd president sir

your father always welcomed my visits and never made me feel rushed and always

said thank you for coming never made me feel like I was going on too long your

mother

usually said good sermon too long I got your email

you're a lot like your mother

ladies and gentlemen children of God when death comes as it does to us all a

life has changed not ended and the way we live our lives the decisions we make

the service we render matter they matter to our fellow human beings to this world

that God has given to us and they matter to God and few people have understood

this as well or live their lives as accordingly as President George Herbert

Walker Bush they hear what I said lived it not earned it or strive to

achieve it it was as natural to him as breathing is to each of us President

Bush was a good man a decent man a godly man full of grace and love and equality

of absolute necessity to enter the kingdom of God humility grounded and a

desire to serve his God and all God's sent his way how do I know this because

for nearly a dozen years my wife Laura and our children and I we have laughed

with him we have fished with him President Bush brought up riding

infidelity we had that pleasure as well the Secret Service was behind us he was

at full throttle I saw many of them reaching for what I thought were

protective armor but then I realized as they followed the president they were

actually crossing themselves

we've been blessed to share meals and tears and moments of silence and prayers

and times of great strength in times of great weakness never not once did I

witness anything but care and concern for those around him the job of a pastor

a priest Iman a rabbi when dealing with someone

he or she is called to serve is to call on them to look to God to do the right

thing to serve others and to love and President Bush made my job so easy a

lesson from the Hebrew Scriptures remind us that God is light and the president

reflected that light his whole life through

he once said I'm a man who sees life in terms of missions defined and missions

completed and we recall with the light when he reminded America and her

citizens of his mission and ours to be points of light with but one aim to

leave our world better than we found it I have a political cartoon of the 41st

president I keep it in my desk with caricatured big ears he's sitting in his

death he's looking at his watch and he's saying to himself

communism is dead the wall was down apartheid is falling Mandela is free the

Sandinistas are ousted jeremy is reuniting the Cold War is over I've

returned my calls and heck it's not even lunchtime

we sometimes forget all that President Bush did for us in large part because he

preferred to shine not upon himself but to shine to others several years ago

President Bush gave me this plaque and on the backs of note Russ a good friend

gave this to me some years ago it may be of help to you in some way it reads

simply preach Christ at all times if necessary use words it remains on my

desk as a reminder that faith means more than words Jesus Christ for George Bush

was at the heart of his faith but his was a deep faith a generous faith a

simple faith in the best sense of the word he knew and will Jesus's two

greatest Commandments to love God and to love your neighbor the president loved

and served not just some but all that God sent his way he lived his own adage

that tolerance is a virtue not a vice he respected and befriended Christians of

every denomination as well as Jews and Muslims and Buddhists and Sikhs his

comrades were from every nation in race yes he was a Republican but for him

political parties were but a line in the sand to brush away in times of the

greater good of working toward his goal for all of us to be that kind or and

gentler nation the gospel that Deen ha worth diss read for us a moment ago

reminds us that Jesus told his followers to be the light of the world so that the

world could turn their hearts toward God and toward others let your light shine

before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father

in heaven and so was President Bush his life was defined by his faith in his

service that are worthy of all those made in God's image in September of 1990

President Bush spoke to those gathered outside

those doors for the dedication of this great Cathedral and he pointed inside to

that magnificent Rose window right there from the outside and he spoke these

words from where we now stand the Rose when the high above seems black and

formless to some perhaps but when we enter we see it backlit by the Sun it

dazzles in astonishing splendor and reminds us that without faith we too are

but stained-glass windows in the dark the president understood that even in

the darkest of nights things can be transformed if handed over to the

redemptive power of the Almighty no one on that first good fraud he expected

Easter Sunday but it came it came because the light

that brought creation into being also brought wife from the grave we call that

resurrection only days ago I was humble along with members of the president's

staff his outstanding and loyal medical team so many friends Sully

who I believe has gotten more pressed than the president in the last few days

loving members of his family who called in who spoke with him throughout the day

and as our 43rd president just said inspired his last words words of love

sitting with us was someone the president liked to call his little

brother James Baker and his wife Susan as I said their been wonderful hugs and

kind works without the day kisses throughout the day

toward the end secretary Baker and I were sitting on a sofa next to one

another a few steps away and he whispered to me you know that man

changed my life a bit later secretary Baker was at the foot of the president's

bed and toward the end Jim Becker rubbed and

stroked the president's feet for perhaps half an hour the president smiled at the

comfort of his dear friend here I witnessed a world leader who was serving

a servant who had been our world's leader and what came to mind was Jesus

well that last night before his own crucifixion having said everything there

was to say he wrapped a towel around his waist and without words he washed his

disciples feet as Jesus finished he said I've set an example for you do as I have

done serve one another by this the world will know you're my disciples if you

serve and if you love one another at the end we all milt we all placed our hands

on the president we set our prayers together and then we were silent for

full long measure as this man who changed all of our lives who changed our

nation who changed our world left this life or the next

it was a beautiful end it was a beautiful beginning for a moment but a

moment only that dear point of light we know as George Herbert Walker Bush

dimmed but it now shines brighter than it ever before has and now this godly

man this servant this child of God is in the loving arms of Barbara and Robin and

the welcoming arms of our Lord who embraced him with his divine love some

have said in the last few days this is an in the

Venera but it does not have to be perhaps it's an invitation to fill the

hole that has been left behind the president so loved his church he loved

the Episcopal Church he so loved our great nation

he's so loved you his friends he's so loved every member of this family but he

was so ready to go to heaven and heaven was so ready to receive him because he

lived those two great Commandments if you want to honor him and if you call

yourself a daughter or son of God then love God love your neighbor there's no

greater mission on planet Earth my hunch is heaven as perfect as it must be just

got a bit kinder and gentler leaving behind that whole for you and me to fill

how preach Christ at all times if necessary use words so mr. president

mission complete well done good and faithful servant welcome to your eternal

home we're ceiling and visibility are

unlimited and life goes on forever amen

George W. Bush cries delivering eulogy for his father, George H.W. Bush (Full Eulogy) - Duration: 12:27.

I once heard it said of man that the idea is to die young as late as possible

at age 85 a favorite pastime of George HW Bush was firing up his boat the

fidelity and opening up the three 300 horsepower engines to fly joyfully fly

across the Atlantic with the Secret Service boats straining to keep up at

age 90 George HW Bush parachuted out of an

aircraft and landed on the grounds of st. Anne's by the sea in Kennebunkport

Maine the church where his mom was married and where he worshiped often

more like to say he chose the location just in case the chute didn't open

in his 90s he took great delight when his closest pal James a baker smuggled a

bottle of Grey Goose vodka into his hospital room

apparently it paired well with the state Baker had delivered from Morton's

when he was a teenager a staph infection nearly took his life

Bush.  In a heartbreaking image, Bush's former service dog Scully was pictured laying on the floor alongside the casket

 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell opened a session of the Senate on Monday heralding the "daring" World War Two aviator, former head of the Central Intelligence Agency and wartime president

"Year after year, post after post, George Bush stayed the course," McConnell said

 Bush was elected president in 1988 after serving two terms as President Ronald Reagan's vice president

 During his four years as president, Bush used U.S. military power to end Iraq's occupation of Kuwait, steered the United States through the end of the Cold War and condemned China's violent reaction to pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing

  George H.W. Bush dead at 94: Tributes to 41st president of the United States  He was dogged by domestic problems, including a sluggish economy

When he ran for re-election in 1992, he was pilloried by Democrats and many Republicans for violating his famous 1988 campaign promise: "Read my lips, no new taxes

"  Democrat Bill Clinton coasted to victory, ending Bush's presidency.  Early in his political career, Bush served in the U

S. House of Representatives from 1967-1971.  He lost bids in 1964 and 1970 for a U

S. Senate seat from Texas. Bush is the 12th U.S. president to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda

Politicians and dignitaries arrive for George H.W. Bush's State Funeral - Duration: 10:17.

George H.W.Bush once worried that his funeral would be a non-event, a fear that proved unfounded on Wednesday as thousands lined up to say goodbye to the 41st president of the United States

Al Gore, Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, and Rudy Giuliani were among the first political heavyweights to arrive for Bush's funeral, later joined by all four living presidents and dozens of world leaders

Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and Donald Trump were flanked by the first ladies as they took their seats in a front row pew at the Washington National Cathedral

Trump and Melania made their way down the cathedral before they sat down next to the Obamas, who greeted the couple with a 'Good Morning' and shook their hands

The Clintons stared straight ahead when Trump and Melania first arrived, and the president did not greet his former 2016 presidential election competitor

Bush received a national farewell at Washington National Cathedral following three days of remembrance by dignitaries and ordinary citizens alike

As guests began streaming into the cathedral on Wednesday morning, the Bush family gathered at the front of the US Capitol where their patriarch's body has been lying in state in the rotunda since Monday

The family stood in a line as Bush Senior's casket was led out by the US Air Force Honor Guard following a 21-gun salute

Pallbearers – representing the four branches of the military – carried Bush's flag-draped coffin down the Capitol stairs as a flag bearing the president seal followed close behind

George W Bush was clearly emotional and appeared to be holding back tears as he watched his father's body being taken down the steps and loaded into the presidential hearse

The Bush family arrived with the casket following a motorcade which slowed in front of the White House and ended at the cathedral just before the service began

After making his way down the aisle of the church, George W Bush made his way to the row of presidents and slipped Michelle Obama a piece of candy - just as he did during John McCain's funeral

Bush then greeted Trump, Obama, and Carter and shook their hands before taking his own seat beside his wife Laura Bush and brother Jeb Bush

He would later reveal in his stirring eulogy that his father's last words 'on this earth' were 'I love you, too'

Everyone from world envoys and sports stars to a man from Maine who used to fix things in Bush's house gathered together for the funeral

The ceremony also united Democrats and Republicans during a time in which American politics have become increasingly partisan

Current Vice President Mike Pence could be seen chatting with Biden before the funeral began, and was later seen speaking with former first daughter Chelsea Clinton

Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner were also seen speaking to Biden and his wife Jill

Ivanka was later seen warmly chatting with Chelsea Clinton as they sat next to each other during the ceremony

It was a rare moment for the fellow first daughters, whose friendship had disintegrated during their parents' presidential race

The Bush family wanted the ceremony to be a show of unity, even assuring Trump this past summer that he would not be left out of their patriarch's funeral

Trump tweeted on Wednesday that he was 'looking forward to being with the Bush family' and said the funeral would be a 'celebration for a great man who has led a long and distinguished life'

The future British King Prince Charles and former Prime Minister John Major were also in attendance, as was Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, the King and Queen of Jordan, and former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney - who delivered a eulogy to his old friend

Sports stars including Peyton Manning and US professional golfer Phil Mickelson were also in attendance

George W Bush, the former leader's eldest son and the 43rd President, gave a moving tribute to his father as he delivered the centerpiece eulogy

It was only at the end of his eulogy that George W BUSH choked up, telling the packed church: 'In our grief, let us smile knowing that dad is hugging Robin and holding mom's hand again

' He called Bush Senior 'the best father a son or daughter can have' – losing his composure and lowering his head as tears fell down his face

'We're going to miss you your decency, sincerity and your kind soul will stay with us forever,' he said at the end of his remarks

Bush Senior's funeral marks the first time since Lyndon Johnson's death in 1973 that a sitting president was not tapped to eulogize a late president

Clinton did so for Richard Nixon, and George W Bush eulogized Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford

The other eulogists were Mulroney, former Wyoming senator Alan Simpson, and presidential historian Jon Meacham - who wrote a biography on Bush

Meacham said in the day's first eulogy that the senior Bush was 'America's last great soldier-statesman, a 20th Century founding father'

'He stood in the breach in the cold war against totalitarianism.He stood in the breach in Washington against unthinking partisanship,' Meacham said

'He stood in the breach against tyranny and discrimination.Mulroney praised Bush, a friend for decades, as a resolute and determined president whom foreign leaders respected

'Every single head of government in the world knew that they were dealing with a gentleman, a genuine leader,' he said

Simpson, known as a jokester during his Washington years, had George W Bush cracking broad grins and laughing during the ceremony as he told tales of friendship with Bush Senior

After the funeral service, Bush's remains were led out of the cathedral to begin a journey to Houston - where he will lie in repose at St Martin's Episcopal Church

He will be buried on Thursday at his family plot on the presidential library grounds at Texas A&M University in College Station alongside Barbara Bush and Robin Bush, the three-year-old daughter they lost to leukemia in 1953

Bush died Friday in Houston at age 94.Barbara, his wife of 73 years, passed away in April

Trump ordered the federal government closed on Wednesday for a national day of mourning
