zimbabwe that had a dictator who was served roasted baby elephant on his 90th birthday, to say that this country is a stable place with the checks and balances that we traditionally have in our country, when it comes to resource use, i mean, that s preposterous. but this is kind of how this administration plays. we know that president trump said in the past that he found this distasteful and what happened? we were focused on other things, don, and they came in and slid this under the door. and now this is just one more example of how our country today is being steered down a path of potentially no return when it comes to the protection of our species. when science doesn t matter, don, when we deny climate change with regard to a changing planet, i mean, this is just the frosting on the cake. yeah. jeff, we re out of time. thank you so much. i appreciate the time we had together. thank you.
his parents undying love. he held my mom s hand all day long yesterday, and i called him and he said, i m kind of a cry baby right now, i m not feeling very good. reporter: a parkinson s-type disease has kept the president bound to a wheelchair. but that didn t stop him from sky diving on his 90th birthday. you all right? yeah. reporter: rewarded with this peck on the lips from his worried wife. though full of vitality, famously throwing out first pitches at baseball games, the elder bush was twice admitted to the hospital for pneumonia last year. always cared for by his wife, barbara. and so let s get to matt gutman, he s with us live tonight from houston, outside the methodist hospital there. and matt, obviously, so many tonight talking about that marriage of 73 years, and the impact her loss could be having on his health, as well. reporter: could be a huge impact, david. now, we spoke to president bush s representatives tonight, they say that he is responding to thi
loss like what the president suffered here the body releases all sorts of different chemicals into the bloodstream and can have a direct impact on the heart to cause the heart to become weakened and fail. broken heart syndrome. that s a tangible representation of this loss. there s also a tangible sort of impact on the immune system. your immune system, again, being automobile to fight these types of infections on your own, that s what we do all the time. when you re healthy and not suffering a loss like this, but your immune system can also become weakened in the wake of a loss like this. so that again can take what may have been a minor infection and amplify it, allow it to spread. an jay, let s end on this positive note, okay. this is a hardy man. he jumps out of planes. this was him on his 90th birthday, okay, three years ago. this wasn t his 60th birthday. this was his 90th birthday.
zambia has been reduced from 200,000 animals, just about 40 years ago, to only 20,000 today. and in the country of zimbabwe, whose former dictator got pushed out in a coup on his 90th birthday, it was celebrated not with birthday cake but with a feast delicacy of roasted baby elephant. so where that evidence is that these countries have reached a state of stability and good environmental stewardship to open up big game trophy exports, i have no idea. in the benefit of the doubt department, can t we decide the government is a big sprawling place and let s say the president didn t know about the original policy flip, he changed it, take him at his word, the next day. let s say that this is an inside play by somebody at the interior department and the trump white
of his colleagues. they have staked out a space over decades as being people who see themselves as protector of women and champions of moving women up in powerful positions. it is hard for them to come out and say one of our own to have these allegations against them. th it is not a situation they want to be in now. two years away from his 90th birthday. kelcy snell, it is always a pleasure. thank you for explaining everything for us tonight on capitol hill. the american president believing in conspiracy theory and picking a fight from our closest allies. that s where steve schmidt comes in. he s back with us when we come back.
