the honor of the casket being put into what normally would be called air force one, special air force mission 41. the 747, it s air force one when the president is on it. when the president is not on it, it has a different call sign. it s a great tribute that they determined this mission would be president 41. president bush the bush bushis bushs moved to texas in 1959. it s been 60 years since they ve been a part of that community. you saw neil bush there with his family. neil was the son that mrs. bush used to say he s mr. nice. imply slit as oppos implicith
including children. we have seen the video. absolutely. jamal khashoggi was a resident of your state, virginia. on a warm beer, the college student who died a day or two after he was freed from north korea, came back basically in a coma. he also was a resident of virginia, a student at the university of virginia. what do you think when you hear president trump sort of brush aside criticisms of his arms deal with the saudis and at the same time, he praised kim jong-un. he said he was in love with him the other day. well, wolf, i think there is a reason why american presidents of both political parties, president obama, both president bushs, president clinton, have made protection of human rights part of american foreign policy. again, as the world s military and industrial leader, we send that message. unfortunately, this administration continues to make the point that it doesn t want
mortality rate. we wish him well. again, everyone is rooting for him. again, he is in failing health. his wife just died. i want to talk to you in a moment about broken heart syndrome. that is very real as well. right. craig, you have reported on the bushes for a long time now. about 50 years. you spoke with someone close to the family since the news about the former president broke. what can you tell us, craig? well, i think he was they were going the let him do what he wanted to do exactly during mrs. bush s the greeting at the church and then the funeral. he was not going to be denied. and he did i imagine exactly what he wanted to do. but at the same time, everyone knew that frailty involved, it could be you know, quickly spiral out of control as sepsis, as the doctor said, can. so i want to bring in now cnn presidential historian douglas brinkley. doug, welcome to the panel.
