don t want any part of it. i ll volunteer, i ll be active. i don t want anything to do, i saw what it did to gampy, to w. it s rough and tumble. others say i ll think about it when i get older, like the president we say farewell to, maybe i ll do my business first and come back in. that to me is a question, george p. is a man of ambition. he s here today to talk about his grandfather, but he s a young bush of political ambition. what about the other grandchildren, the great grandchildren. what conversations will we have about them. we see joseph p. kennedy in congress. the younger kennedys are coming up a bit. that s my question, to look at the family and think back, see where they are. george p. bush is a very impressive young man. only moments away from a very personal service in houston where former secretary of state james baker will eulogize the 41st president. we have details on that, what we re about to see, much more right after this.
and invited him to come to the white house. he and his wife slept in the lincoln bedroom and the next day surprised the staff with an east room rendition of dana car ivy s george bush and had everyone laughing and feeling better for a few moments. president bush cared about all of us. martha: dana carvey said he worked on the impression of president bush he said it s between mr. rogers and trying to be john wayne. which i thought was great. we take a look at the motorcade making its way to st. martin. tell the story about how you went out for a boat ride with 41. he had just learned he was going to be on the ticket as the running mate for ronald reagan. he didn t mention it to you until the end of the ride. what happened? yeah. well, you know, i was actually the perfect age. i was 6 years old. he hadn t had his oldest grandson george p. who has become a life-long friend as well. so i was in the right place at
both come to terms with their relationship and it was a lovely relationship toward the end. he s now truly i m not sure you want to call him the patriarch but he s the leader now. and there was a point when jeb bush defended his father when jeb said my father is the greatest man i ever knew period. because he was part of the dynasty and he was being attacked for just being someone whose turn it was to become president and his father was criticized and jeb just came out swinging about it. i m looking forward to hearing what george p. has to say, jeb s son, the oldest of the grandchildren. i think today was going to be the more presidential of the two days. and even just the two churches, the cathedral is so soaring and
the law, but do so by governing with heart. the president should listen to her. the vast majority in retention are kids who came here with their families. that s the biggest problem. i think americans want two things. they want immigration, but do it with humanity. i think melania said it right. my advice, the president should listen to melania. let me go back to the bush story. the feud between the president and the bush family runs deep. now don jr. getting involved. likes george p. george p. campaigned with president trump, candidate trump, in the general election. but the bad blood between the families too much here? that s right. we ve seen this in the last few days with laura bush s op-ed, then jeb bush tweeting, i spoke to some people associated with
you know, craig, talk to me more about the love story between barbara and george bush, please. it began at a christmas dance. and it moved quickly. and you know, with what do they have 73 years to show for it. and a great family. i mean, you know, politics aside, totally, this is, in fact, part of the end of the greatest generation. he was a decorated war hero. she was at home. they raised a family. everything and you have to remember also, that the bushes, to them, politics is public service. because it goes his father was a senator. and you know, members of the family before that were heavily involved. and you have even now george p. in texas. so it s some people would like to think of it as the family business. in some instances, it is. but it s also a tradition of public service.
