our family will miss her dearly and we thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. she was 92. thank you for being with us. that's it for us tonight. good night from new york. kennedy: breaking news tonight, former first lady barbara bush has died. she was 92 years old and the bush family has just released a statement that reads -- this is actually from former president george w. bush. my dear mother has passed on at age 92. we are sad but our souls are settled because we know hers was. barbara bush was a fabulous first lady and a woman unlike any other who brought levity, love and literacy to millions. to us she was so much more. mom kept us on our toes and kept us laughing until the end. i'm a lucky man that barbara bush was my mother. our family will miss her dearly and we thank you for all of your

prayers and good wishes. and now to get just a sense of how much impact former first lady barbara bush has had on the nation, let's talk with special report anchor bret brett baier. he has much more. >> barbara piers bush developed a love of language early in her life-her mother and father read to her beginning the day she was born on june 8, 1925 in queens, new york. she met george herbert walker bush at a christmas dance when she was 16. >> i don't know anyone funnier than he is. >> they were engaged in a year and a half and married in 19 w45 when george returned home from the war. the couple moved more than two dozen times during their marriage. they settled in midland, texas in 1950 where george built a business in the oil industry. barbara raised their five children, george, jeb, kneel, marvin and dorothy.

little robin died from leukemia just before her fourth birthday. >> if you have five children, all five are very very different. but in our case all five are very close. very close. i mean it's wonderful. and it makes george and me, my husband and i feel just great that they love each other so much. >> the family moved to houston in 1959 and five years later barbara began the first of a lifetime of political campaigns. george lost his senate bid then but was elected to congress in 1966. he was named ambassador to the united nations in 1971, then served as the chairman of the republican national committee, chile yay son to china and director of the cia by 1976. her return to washington during this time was said to be very difficult and barbara suffered from depression. george was elected vice president, serving under ronald

reagan in 1980. neil's diagnosis as dyslexic many years before renewed barbara's interest in language and reading skills and she made it her platform as second lady to confront child and adult literacy. >> i decided i wanted to do something that wowlz help george, that would help the most americans possible without costing the government huge amounts of money. >> she became the first candidate spouse to address the national convention when her husband was nominated for president in 1988. barbara was a key asset to the campaign. appearing in ads emphasizing her domestic and motherly roles, she had a reputation for being outspoken and said to be actively involved in campaign strategy. but for the most part kept out of political conversations and controversies. barbara remained committed to bettering the literacy rate, what she called the most

important issue that america had and founded the barbara bush foundation for family literacy. she made countless appearances on national radio programs and wrote a few children's books. she was a strong advocate of volunteerism and worked to eradicate homelessness and the spread of aides. some say she took the loss of her husband's 1992 reelection bid personally but she dove back into public service, supporting the leukemia society, the boys and girls club, the ronald mcdonald house and many more. >> i loved reliving the most exciting life you've ever known. it really is. >> barbara bush saw two of her sons, jeb and george w. become two-term governors of florida and texas. and george w. became the first president since john quincy adam to fol lore his father to the white house. barbara got to see the museum

and library open in 2015, historic moment with all five former presidents and first ladies sharing the stage. there was a run of jeb making a run for president and his mom said in the press, we've had enough bushes in the white house. she later switched her position saying he was initially hesitant of the idea she changed her mind but quote our problems are so profound that america needs a ledder to renew the promise. with his mom's blessing jeb announced his candidacy for presidency. mrs. bush suffered from a handful of health problems and hospitalizations. looking back at her extraordinary life, few first ladies have been embraced by the american people like barbara bush, the may tre matriarch of n day political dynasty. >> george bush has really brought to my life the most exciting times.

george has made my life sing. >> it is that love story that many will remember them for, george and barbara were devoted to each other in marriage for over 73 years. >> actually kissed me in public. it wasn't dramatic or exciting. but i almost fainted. i was so excited. >> and that was it? >> that was it for me. >> that's the guy. >> and still. i just can't tell you how much i love him. >> in washington, brett baier, fox news. kennedy: oh god bless her and god rest her soul. joining me on the phone, presidential his storyian doug wead. obviously first ladies have a tremendous impact on the country but can be very polarizing. not so barbara bush. she was incredibly recognizable but had a great calming influence on the country. how would you put her as far as you categorize first ladies, where does she stand? >> well, she, by any standard,

she's one of the most introot women who's ever lived, either that or she's one of the luckiest because all around her people succeeded historians like to point to the fact that she's the only woman other than abigail adams to have been both the wife and mother to the american president but there's a big difference. abigail adams never knew it. she died in 1818 having buried three of her children, including one young man who died early as an alcoholic. but barbara bush not only saw one-her sons become president, she saw two others elected governor. that had never happened before in all of history. roosevelt run, grant run, several of the president's sons ran. so she's very unique and as a first lady i would rank her among the top three, hillary clinton and eleanor roosevelt because of their résumes, but barbara bush because of the impact she had on other people. kennedy: that's a very good

point smep was sandwiched in between two first ladies who were high profile who had great influence on their husband's administrations, yet she stands out between nancy reagan and hillary clinton on her own. and you know, you're absolutely right. the influence that she's had on many people, those who have met her have talked about her humor and her kindness and even if you met her for the firsttime and for a brief moment, she was talking directly to you with an unchark ris ticuncharacteristicu normally don't see in people that high profile. >> she's very very very funny. i can tell you right after they won the election and they were in the white house, she invited in the catholic cardinals and took them on a private tour of the family quarters. i was along as a staffer she was pointing out all of the paintings on the wall and who the artist was, who was painted.

and we got to the queen mum's room upstairs and she turned and there was a paipting of a beautiful young lady on the wall and she momentarily stumped and turned to these catholic cardinal es and said i don't know who she is but i think we can all kind of guess how she got up there. and there was a moment of stunned silence and then their eminences broke into the laughter. so people say she was like their grandma, your grandmother. she wu more like your outrageous aunt. her humor could push the envelope. kennedy: doug wide, thank yourdu for your perspective as we mark the passing of barbara bush. now joining he, brett baier from the fox news channel and cohes of "the five." kimberly gill foil. breath, first, as a high profile

political spouse and mother, she has had her share of controversies but for some reason those, you know, whatever outspokenness she has, there's also another characteristic or quality that allows people to move on from that. how would you describe her. >> she was a person who was filled with wit and warmth and that people identified with her. especially women seemed to identify with her. when she first became first lady, 1989, goes into the white house and essentially is talking about her, what she calls her skinnier and better dressed predecessor. nancy reagan. and she says at the time, my mail tells me that a lot of fat white haired wrinkled ladies are tickled pink. she had the humor and the ability to be self deprecating. but she was also the matriarch of this family and the mother of

a president. to see those statements from president george w. bush and the grandchildren that have just been coming out over the past few minutes has been interesting to see because they talk about what a strength she was inside that family. just within the past two minutes, kennedy, a statement from the white house has come out. i don't think you've read this yet but i'll do that if that's all right. kennedy: please, yes. >> president trump and first lady melania trump join the nation in celebrating the life of barbara bush was a wife, mother, grandmother, military spouse and former first lady. amongst her greatest achievements was recognizing the importance of literacy as a fundamental family value that requires nurturing and protection. she'll be long remembered fer her strong devotion to the country and family, both of which she served well. our prayers are with the family and friends of mrs. bush. kennedy: and the incredible influence he's had.

the amount of pressure that it takes to shepherd a political career like she did side by side with her husband all the way to the white house. and brett, you spokan spoke aboe tremendous loss she felt in 1992 when bill clinton won the election. and i'm sure as a protective wife, she felt that that was very unfair. and you know, the election cycle felt quite contentious then. was she able to get over it and did she have a relationship with hillary clinton. >> she did. it did pain her then. she really valued privacy. so when she was going out of the spotlight, she felt more comfortable. i remember a story when she was in a store after that loss and somebody came up to her and said, are you first lady barbara bush and she said to the lady, oh, no, no, she's much older

than me. she valued the privacy but little did she know, you know, a short time later she would be back in the spotlight as the mother of president george w. bush. kennedy: absolutely, her son. and again as you spoke about in the package, both of her sons, two-term governors of two of the biggest states in the country, still welding considerable political influence. kimberly, i want to turn to you because you have met the former first lady. you spent some time with her. what was she like? >> she was wildly entertaining, very fun, very warm, sense of humor. and you felt so pleased to be in her presence. she was welcoming and warm. i met her when i was the first lady of san francisco. she was out of the white house but sort of in the white house because her son, george w. was in fact president at the time. but it was lovely to see and knowing members of the bush family how much they looked up to her and revered her. she was certainly the head of

state for them, the whole family, the cohesive gel that brought everybody together. they admired her, loved her and listened to her. they really paid actings to her advice, to what she had to say and she really was the matriarch and really dictated the course of a lot of decisions in terms of the family and where they were going and they looked up to her in terms of how wise she was in terms of life experience and what to do in terms of making tough choices at pivotal moments. but always very loyal, supporting her sons. and the best thing is how she would tell it like it is. kennedy: and it gives us pause to realize how much influence a first lady has on the country as we stop for a moment and look back at her life and her influence. and i do think it's interesting, the balance she had in her personality. the great warmth and the natural ability to comfort people and also to inspire but also, which i think is just as important, to be tough and outspoken and

protective. >> she reminds me of you, kennedy, to be perfectly honest. great sense of humor, personality. and people really admired and respected that about her. she was authentic. you really knew where you stood with her. she wasn't pulling any punches. she would tell you how it is and that is so much -- the success of the family in terms of being able to achieve things, to give back, be tremendous patriots and invest so much in the country from the bush family centered from her, i think she was really like the epicenter of just the steadiness and stability and understanding. and you know, a tremendous source for all of them to go to in times of happiness, stress or strife, they knew they could turn to her and she would always give sage advice. kennedy: on the "today" show her grand daughter jenna bush hager, on that show was very emotional talking about her grandmother. >> how could she not.

kennedy: very close with her grandmother. spoken to her over the weekend. and brett i want to go to you because it's almost as though we're losing a part of her history. it feels like the very recent past, but you know, with the passing of this great matriarch, what follows with it? >> well, listen, it's a real loss for that family, it's a looses for thloss for the maitin at the most it's a loss for president george h.w. bush who obviously has been in failing health in recent years, but that bond, that love that you heard about in that piece. and she talked about extensively, was always there. she was with him every single day. he was with her at the end, we're told. they had a wonderful family kind of moment as she was kind of telling stories, we're told. and in comfort dealing with her final moments in life. you know, she was, as kimberly

mentioned, the matriarch. her word was law. and she wrote a letter to her grandkids that she eventually published in her memoir. and she said, among other things, for heaven's sake, enjoy life. don't cry over things that were or things that aren't. enjoy what you have now to the fullest. in all honesty, you really only have two choices. you can like what you do or you can dislike it. i choose to like it and what fun i've had. and she really just kind of liked life, especially being with her family in private moments. kennedy: yes. and you know, the dignity that she gave to herself. and you know, to those who also are facing terminal illness by publicly disclosing that she was going home for what she called comfort care. i think that does a tremendous service to those who are reaching their own finality. >> you're exactly right, kennedy that's a choice. that's a choice that someone

makes that says, you know what? i've run my race. this is it. i want to enjoy the final moments with my family. and that is a big lesson for a lot of people and a lot of families dealing with tough times. kennedy: last word. how will she be remembered. >> as a source of life and nature. to me it feels as if an american president has passed tonight. that's the impact she's had on american political history and families across this great nation. we bid her farewell. kennedy: thank you both. we are more reaction to the passing of former first lady barbara bush. i've got a conversation with dana perino after the break. stay right here. it took guts to start my business.

if you haven't heard, former first lady barbara bush has pass. ed. she was 92. the bush family just released a statement. and i'm going to have that for you right now. it says -- i'm going to get to that. former florida governor also former presidential candidate jeb bush released this statement that reads, we join every member of the bush family in offering

or sincere gratitude for the outpouring of love and support for my mom in recent days and throughout her remarkable life. i'm exceptionally privileged to be the son of george bush and funny loving tough smart graceful woman, a force of nature known as barbara bush. thank you for your prayers and we look forward to celebrating and honoring her life and contributions to our family and great nation in the coming days. joining me now by phone, former white house press secretary for george w. bush, dana perino. how sad is this night? this has to be very tough for you. >> it is sad. though, i think about her and the life of great consequence that she led. and she was one of such great dignity that she would know we were sad, but she would also want us to celebrate all of the

amazing things she did in her life, though she was humble about those accomplishments. there's no doubt that she made an incredible impact, not just on america but the world. kennedy: absolutely. >> first and foremost, the most important thing to her was her family. i feel most sad for them tonight. closeness to george w. bush and i know how much he loved his mother. they had a fun sort of running joke in the family. i don't know if you know this, kennedy, but the family had a nickname for her. they called her frank because shez was so frank in her comments. and george w. bush used to say i got my daddy's eyes and my momma's mouth. kennedy: well that's fantastic. and it served him well as a two-term president and two-term governor of texas and successful businessman. so you know, i was overwhelmed at the number -- $1 billion, that's how much money she and

george h.w. bush have raised for charity over their lifetimes. and we've heard about literacy but also aids advocacy and a lot of money for homelessness. and people, it seems, were drawn to her. she had such a magnetic personality. even though she was frank and she was tough and she was protective, it seemed to be the best side of her character. >> it certainly spurred a lot of other charity as well. years ago, i think it was 2010, i hosted a minute mentoring event in houston and i invited her do the kickoff, and she wrote back saying, why would you want me. i've never earned a paycheck in my life. it's true that in all of the work she did, she didn't get a paycheck. she dedicated all of that to

charity, all of the books, all of the work. and she really took that on as her responsibility. and i would add one thing, kennedy, about her literacy program. it is very rigorous. it is actually measured and they get really great results. and so one of the things i know that this last year when i spoke to her that they were disappointed in is that adult literacy, we keep having the same number of people, partly because of immigration, adults unable to read and how devastating that is for their lives. she's redoubled effort. a lot of what you're talking about in terms of all of the charity work they did, it wasn't throwing money away. they demanded performance which is something the government doesn't always do. kennedy: that's why i was so moved when brett talked about in the package that that you saw at the top of the show that she wanted a cause, something that

could make the biggest impact with the least requirement from the government. which i thoughts was beautiful. what kind of interaction did you have with her in the white house? was she worried for her son? it's very different having a son in the white house than a husband. >> 43 would talk about that. as the president and the first lady -- when you're the president, you expect all of the criticism coming your way. when the criticism is directed at your loved ones, it hurts a lot more. i would say actually, kennedy, i think the criticism of their son actually affected president george h.w. bush more than it did her, or at least she didn't show it as much. and the former president, 41, were so intertwined in their life in every way. and as i understand it in the last several days, they spent a lot of time holding hands. and they didn't have many more words that they needed to say to

each other. but they have raised such an amazing family. what i keep saying is it was a life of great consequence. and also of great leadership quality of hearse was that you never wanted to disappoint barbara bush. kennedy: and where does she stand in contrast to other first ladies. i asked doug wead that at the top of the show, a presidential historian. having known her and worked with her son, where do you see her in that rare pantheon? >> well i fell like every first lady is so unique. and she certainly was. and i know that hillary clinton said that barbara bush could not have been more gracious to her when she came to get a tour of the white house. and one of the things -- yeah, i just remembered this. hillary clinton said that barbara bush -- you know, coming off of that horrible loss for the bush family in that reelection, inviting the clintons to the white house, hillary clinton said that barbara bush took her upstairs

to the residence and showed her that if you stood in this one corner by the atrium, and if you looked that way, you could see into the oval office and you could keep an eye on your husband there. kennedy: that's fantastic. >> well, of course i don't mean that in any bad way. but it was to say, here's a way that you can be connected from the east wing to the west wing. kennedy: absolutely. and these people are naturally protective of their spouses regardless of party. dana, thank you so much for taking the time. you are one of the very first people i thought about when i heard of her passing. and i know what great fondness and affection you have for the former first lady. thank you so much for that. >> it was an honor to know her. kennedy: that's beautiful. well said. thanks, dana. and we're going to have more reaction to the passing of barbara bush a little later in the show. we'll be right back. stay here. ♪

of important roles of wife, mother and first lady of the united states. our thoughts and prayers are with the bush family as we honor her legacy. kennedy: a lot of big news. handful of house republicans pushing a bill to prevent president trump from firing special counsel robert mueller. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell told neil cavuto he doesn't think we'll reach that point. >> i don't think he should fire mueller and i don't think he's going to. neil: it should be in there? >> i am the one who decides what we take to the floor. we'll not be having this on the floor of the senate. kennedy: should lawmakers try to protect the special counsel?

let me go to my party panel. jess tatar love and lawrence jones, and wwe souper star,ed the lucrative dolph ziggler. welcome back. great to see you. in washington, d.c., obviously this james comey book is throwing monkey wrenches into the dialogue. you have house republicans fruls twraitd special counsel's investigation, and some who say sit would be political suicide if the president fired robert mueller. what do you think is going on? >> i think most of sitting republicans feel it would be political suicide to fire bob

mueller. there are people coming on cable news saying you have got to get rid of him and get rid of rod rosenstein at the same time. and andy mccabe told a few lies and they got rid of him. is it something you are saying is not going to happen, and it would satisfy the american rub and send a message to donald trump. but i think generally republicans know they will lose 2018 and for the rest of their lives probably if they get rid of the special counsel. kennedy: there are a lot of people in the base who think it's a huge distraction and a waste of money. >> it's within the power of the president to fire him. it's part of the executive

branch. also i don't think there is a reason for the president to fire bob mueller in has been no evidence of him doing anything wrong. it seems like bob mueller is squeezing everyone around donald trump to do something. and there has been multiple reports saying he's not going after him. kennedy: and bob mueller is flipping people like pancakes. he's playing different players against each other and perhaps that's his job. but on some level the president -- tell me what you think. i think he does want to fire bob mueller. i think he feels he's so innocent and this guy is wasting so much time. but he also knows there is no political upside for him if he does. >> i agree you don't need that legislation. but if i'm trump, even drafting that legislation and it comes

out, and players around him. no matter who you fire. someone else is going to come next whether it's mueller or anyone. it reminds me of a simpson episode where homer takes over a mobster and he says you can kill me, but somebody is going to come after that. >> i think the president learned his mistake with respect to james comey and the can of worms that opened up. the democrats hated him. now they love him. now they hate him again. kennedy: i wish that's george stephanopoulos -- i adore him, he's a lovely human. but i wish he had asked james comey, would you have been fired if hillary clinton were

president. jessica: i think he would have. whether you are upset because you are a republican because you didn't recommend charges against hillary clinton or what you did to almost *, a matter or investigation, and coming out 11 days before the investigation. and i am not going to mention the fact that trump has an investigation. >> there is an open investigation of trump. kennedy: robert mueller says he's a subject, not a target, and certainly not a defendant. jessica: i understand that. but we have seen this played out over and over again in the media. just one word. >> winning. tired of winning. jessica: i thought you were going to say barbara.

kennedy: talk about somebody who is winning, she nailed it. coming up, new developments in the crisis in syria and a new push to force the white house to get permission from congress to launch new attacks. stay right here. ♪ let your inner light loose with one a day women's. ♪ a complete multivitamin specially formulated with key nutrients plus vitamin d for bone health support. your one a day is showing.

kennedy: a bipartisan group of senators just introduced a bill

to revise the authorization for military force just days add president trump and our allies launched missiles at bashar al-assad's chemical weapons and research centers. >> the administration has the authority to do what they have been doing, not only these kinds of strikes, but we have some personnel in syria. we did when president obama was there. kennedy: this comes as the u.s. has accused syria and russia of tampering with evidence and delaying th the ability of inspectors to get to the site of the atrocity. should america be launching missiles at them? if so, do we need a new aumf? let me ask mike baker.

welcome back to the show. >> hello from los angeles, by the way. kennedy: in the city of angels where i birthed my two children. and a monica, close enough. there could be incredibly serious consequences from getting too deeply engaged in syria. isn't it about time that we had a new aumf considering the one from 2001 has been so con toward and stretched and elasticized and covered so many contexts? it's like chris christie's spanx. >> i'm about to pass out from that visual. the only time aumf has come up over the past several several years is because of the age of the document. it's always been shifted and flexed to suit whatever the

threat was at that point in time. the reason why it's in committee right now, they are talking about this and trying to get it to the floor, it's because it's president trump. if hillary clinton had won we wouldn't be talking about the aumf. it's one more thing they will try to hamstring him with. kennedy: i respectfully disagree. for every incursion that happened during the obama administration, i said the exact same thing. there are people in congress on both sides of the aisle who say this is essentially unconstitutional. we are extending the confines of that original twunl aumf which is so broad, and it was for necessary and appropriate force to be used against terrorists. >> lane's no sun set clause on it.

i get that. i guess my point is i'm cynical. i don't think it's going anywhere. i don't think they will get the support they need in committee to get it out for a vote. as far as you mentioned earlier, should we be in syria? should we be firing missiles? this part makes my head want to explode. we fired those missiles just like we did last year for a very specific and defined point in has been a 90-plus year international effort around the globe to avoid the use of chemical weapons. that's what this was for. >> the lesson we should learn from vietnam, the drip drip drip is deadly. the cost is just too high. >> nobody wants to go all in. this administration, i get it

people lose their minds over this. >> we are up against a hard break. i know we may disagree on these things but the conversation makes everything so much better and i appreciate your time. >> barbara bush such a class act. absolute class act. kennedy: absolutely. thank you so much for that. coming up, we have a live report from washington to capitol hill's reaction to the passing of barbara bush. that's coming
