week, talking about bob dole, when he stood up and saluted george h.w. bush, the former commander in chief. tomorrow bob dole will be joining us right here on "your world." meanwhile, fox news continues and we continue to remember the life and legacy of president george h.w. bush. ♪ >> dana: hello, everyone. i am dana perino in washington, d.c., along with sandra smith, juan williams, jesse watters and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 there in new york city, this is "the five" ." a fox news alert. president george w. bush making the journey to his final resting place where he will be honored with a military ceremony. earlier today, in our nation's capital, friends, family, former dignitaries and five presidents gathering to honor the life and

legacy of george herbert walker bush. >> george herbert walker bush was america's last great soldier statesman, a 20th century founding father. >> every single head of government in the world knew that they were dealing with a gentleman, a genuine leader, one who was distinguished, resolute, and brave. >> he was a man of such grace and humility, those who travel the high road of humility in washington, d.c., are not bothered by heavy traffic. [laughter] >> dana: our 43rd president filled with humor and of course many touching moments. >> i think those brushes with death made him cherish the gift of life, and he vowed to live every day to the fullest. he was born with just two settings: full throttle and sleep.

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. [laughter] in our grief, knowing that dad is hugging robin and holding mom's hand again. >> dana: that was bush 43 doing the final eulogy today. i'm glad i could be on the show with my colleagues who have joined me from new york. jesse, i thought i might go to you first and ask you to explain what a short game is. >> dana: when your ball is not on the green that may be off in the bunker. maybe 100 yards out. i guess that wasn't the strength of 41. he had so many other strengths. i watch this today and laughed

and cried, so many beautiful, touching moments and anecdotes. there was one line that really struck me. i forget who said it but he said don't consider at the end of an era, consider it the invitation to fill the void left by this great man. all the leaders today, i believe were really touched by this. it was an incredibly special moment for the country, and his legacy in fact played out there among the congregation because this is a moment where democrats, republicans came together and listened. they put all of their egos aside and they reflected and honored a man who put the country above himself and put the country above party. laughing on listening and reflecting on all most beautiful moments was almost a healing moment for the nation. i just hope that we can all come

away from this, sadly, death brings us together but we can all come away from this with just a more intense desire to unite as a nation, because george h.w. bush truly was a uniter, especially post-presidency. >> dana: indeed, that's true. greg, i was thinking of you for a couple reasons. one is that longevity in america has made a moment like this possible, for the first time in our nations history, you have five formal living presidents there to say goodbye to one of their own. that's pretty amazing, for all the things america has achieved, and that's a lot of history in one place. i also wondered if you would want to talk about the importance of bringing humor to moments like this. >> greg: that's exactly what i had in front of me. >> dana: i know you well. >> greg: you are like a tv psychic. that was my point. we talk a lot about the military but not about mirth.

we talk about heroism but not about humor. i think the crux of george bush was doing his eulogy up there about the fact that it was just kind of rolling with laughter. the importance of teasing, he brought up that his father teased a lot. he brought up their concept of self-deprecation which i've always said is the most important thing on a tv show. if you are with people who cannot even make fun of themselves, you will not have fun with them. people have to be able to laugh at each other and laugh at you and you have to share in it. it's the necessary lubrication for daily life. i know people talk about, this loss of civility. i am more concerned about the loss of humor, because humor is the precursor to civility. it's a unifying quality that brings everyone who disagrees together, they can come together over a joke. we are living in a time essentially among the younger

generations of saying that's not funny. that's not funny. it's happening all over the place, and i think today was an important reminder the vitality of laughter and that humorless nest only leads to division. but humor can bring unification. >> dana: humans have this ability to laugh. we communicate and the storytelling. juan, i wanted to play this for you. you could maybe explain, especially for younger viewers who might not know what the broccoli reference was about. i think we have that sound. let's play it now. >> the last statement i'm going to have on broccoli. there are truckloads of broccoli at this very minute descending on washington. my family is divided. i do not like broccoli. and i haven't liked it since i was a little kid, and my mother made me eat it. and i'm president of the united states, and i'm not going to eat anymore broccoli. >> dana: if that were to

happen now, you would have maybe a twitter mob, calls for firing. what happened around that? >> juan: what happened was he never liked broccoli, as he said. he banned it on air force one. he had never liked broccoli. it was known that he didn't like broccoli. when he banned it, it resulted in a story and the story became a sensation. this was prior to, as you point out, social media. it was the kind of thing where everybody can relate, people who don't like to eat their vegetables. people who do think it's good. in fact, barbara bush that not only are we having broccoli for dinner. we are having broccoli soup. she was a broccoli fan. he was not. i think it really spoke to people about a sense of knowing him. i think it's important. i've mentioned and i think you mentioned, dana, he was a terrific note writer, terrific friend to so many people. alan simpson said when he was down on his popularity ratings, the president called him then

said come to camp david. he's that kind of guy. to me, watching along with my colleagues here today, you know what stood out was father and son. we saw two copresidents, both -- we saw two presidents, father and son, celebrating a relationship. in the words of the sun, but i think it was the father who made this possible because i don't think george w. bush, the president usurped, was an easy child, from all i can hear. >> dana: he admitted it in the speech as well. >> juan: when you see father and son talking about father and saying i'm quoting "blessed to know him, blessed to have loved him. and accepting that even at the time of great loss." at the end, the highlight of the whole day, saying that i can see him holding my mom's hand, holding robin's hand. to me, this was so emotional, so

powerful. and so full of love. greg talking about loss of mirth, i think sometimes it's very difficult especially for someone has been president of the united states, a public figure, to show depth of love and affection for another human being. and we are not talking about, you know, the kind of love that is male-female. we are talking about human affection from the heart, and that's what we saw today. >> dana: sandra, i'm so glad you're there today. i asked bill hemmer to sit with me today afterwards because i only had about 10 minutes to prepare and i knew that he was a steady hand who could do that. i will let you talk about whatever you want that i thought i would set it up with this, the moment when george w. bush shakes the hand of president trump and the first lady and he sneaks something to michelle obama. we later learned they have a thing going back-and-forth with a piece of candy or cough drop. he pulled it out of his pocket on his way there and he hands it

to her and she gets a little bit of a laugh. i think america loves those romans. >> sandra: we sat down and agreed you could not walk away. it was captivating, watching what we are looking at right now, the first pew, and the moment when george w shook the hands of the president, leaned into shake the hand of the first lady and then leaned forward again to former president barack obama. he realizes he needed to walk around and shake all the hands of the living presidents and first ladies. maybe that was one of the few unscripted moments there. he kind of leaned over and had to change course. but otherwise, dana, an incredible display of our american military. you got to see it firsthand. it was chilling. as an american, i am most wished schools were closed and schoolkids could watch every moment. it's something that i will remember forever. the military, the procession to

the national cathedral, every single minute was planned, scripted, rehearsed. you have to think that this was in the works for decades. by the way, credit to the army's military district of washington. they were responsible for planning and playing out what was a 20 page script for this funeral. all the way down to the anthems and hymns, to the number of ruffles and flourishes. that preceded "hail to the chief," 16 of them played today. 21 gun salute, three of them rang out. and then the funeral bell. you heard it ringing time after time when the coffin reached the steps of the cathedral. it rang 41 times. just the incredible military display. it makes you so proud as an american to watch this today. it was really something. >> dana: indeed. it was flawless from a military standpoint, the staff that worked on it and the family that

pulled it altogether. it was wonderful to be there for the reunions and what was quite a wonderful send-off. there will be one more memorial service tomorrow before he is buried at college station. all of you, thank you. more on president george h.w. bush his arrival in texas. first, rudy giuliani going after robert mueller after the release of new information about michael cowans cooperation in the russia probe. you do, too, but not in time. hey, no big deal. you've got a good record and liberty mutual won't hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. you hear that, karen? liberty mutual doesn't hold grudges. how mature of them! for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise their rates because of their first accident. liberty mutual insurance. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> jesse: president trump's attorney rudy giuliani blasting the special counsel after recommending no jail time for michael flynn. saying that the former national security advisor should not be behind bars because he's provided "substantial assistance" in the russia investigation. giuliani reacting by calling the investigators sick puppies and adding that the legal memo does nothing to show trump-russia collusion. juan comeau it's interesting to me with this whole thing is, think about how it started. hillary loses and the democrats blame russia and slap sanctions on the russian so the trump

transition team says flynn, called the russian ambassador and tallow them to de-escalate the situation. he gets on the phone and calls kislyak and obviously this thing is recorded by the national security apparatus and then he gets unmasked and this is leaked, the conversation, to "the washington post." shocking how that came about, isn't it? >> juan: sick puppy, sick puppy right here. from the sick puppy point of view, obviously he had extensive cooperation with mueller and guess what, jesse. the russians would've had leverage, so-called compromised a man who had told a lie that was known to the russians but not known obviously to his own administration. the question is, why did he lie. the suggestion coming forth is that the lie was directed from the very top of the administration. but we don't know that. we don't know why he lied to. what we do know is that for

19-plus meetings, hours exponentially beyond those 19 meetings, he is talking about not only the campaign but the transition. he was only an office for a very short time. so he's talking about what happened during the campaign and of course the kislyak discussion. suggesting that he knows a lot and is pointing not only at president trump, it's pointing at his son-in-law, potentially pointing at his son and we know that right now roger stone has taken the fifth. i remember when donald trump said anybody that takes the fifth is distributable. it's terrible, he said. now roger stone is taking the fifth. >> jesse: what confuses me and i will kick it to you, sandra, that the people that the fbi investigators that interviewed flynn didn't think he lied and comey said he didn't lie and mccabe said he didn't lie but somehow he gets charged with not telling the truth to the fbi. i think the main thing he did wrong was lying to pence about

the conversation. i think the only reason he did that was because of all this collusion story swirling around and he didn't want to make it look like he was colluding with the russians when in fact he was just told to call the guy up and be a diplomat. >> sandra: as a journalist, you try to go to through a 13-page memo and you tried to decide what you can walk away with. about half of it was redacted. i'm sure you looked through it as well. the reason why you say -- you keep saying the words we don't know, we don't know. it's because the mueller team, robert mueller is not telling us anything. so i think there are some takeaways. i think you can easily say -- >> jesse: i think we have a special flyover over the bush library right now. air force one, as we are seeing it, carrying the casket of bush 41. going to texas right now. special mission 41 flyover at the bush library in texas.

all right, dana, let's bring you in. this is my opinion. this is how the deal was cut with mueller. he was doing a side consulting gig with the turks for half a million dollars. it was a little shady, unregistered, some tax implications. i am saying that flynn had this ideal. mueller comes to him and says we are not going to hit you with the consulting problems. i want you to plea for the russia quote-unquote false statements and that's how he's creating a narrative. >> dana: i hesitate to speculate that way. you could say actually, who is really close to turkey? that would be russia. what's the consulting contract for? i'm not willing to go there. i actually thought they might be pleased that michael flynn was not being recommended for any jail time. i mean, the president and rudy giuliani both said he doesn't deserve jail time. i think if he doesn't get jail time, it's actually probably

good for michael flynn and they can feel good about that. the pressure for a pardon and things like that doesn't exist. >> jesse: this whole thing starts, flynn gets in trouble and trump has this conversation with comey and says this guy, flynn, he's a patriot. hopefully he doesn't get hurt too much and it spirals into comey gets fired in the special counsel gets appointed. >> greg: i think it is good news. he has given a lot to this country. it comes down to lying in a process that is designed to test your ability to maintain absolute honesty while inquisitors continually turn up the heat. flynn essentially is the frog in the boiling pot and he's been found guilty of trying to get out of the pot. personally, my lesson is i would never accept a role in government because if you win, the other side will initiate an investigation. i will undoubtedly be called in, and i will be asked 100 to 200

questions. the odds are strong i'm going to lie on 7 to 12 of them. some of it might be about personal behavior, who knows, something i'm a little bit embarrassed about. you have a pile of human beings whose careers are destroyed because they entered the political sphere and the losers get back at them by destroying them. there is no way around it. human beings in these situations panic. they might tell a fab. i will be that guy. so i will never. >> juan: you know that he pled guilty. >> greg: i understand that. >> jesse: here's some news, greg gutfeld has announced he will no longer be seeking higher office here in the united state united states. >> dana: three down. >> juan: i feel like that sick puppy took a leak on my leg. >> jesse: cleanup on the side. a pompous democrat offering up a stunning new excuse for why her party can't connect with voters.

>> greg: at a symposium, democratic senator hirono was asked what democrats must do to connect with voters. >> one of the things that we democrats have a really hard time is connecting to people's hearts instead of here. we are really good at showing all the information the touch people here but not here, and i've been saying it. we need to speak to the heart, not in a melee dated way -- manipulative way but to speak to the heart so that we know they are on their side. >> greg: then they singled by or wait a second. the problem with democrats is that they are too intellectual as opposed to emotional? this from a person who slammed all men in one burst of rage. >> it's the men in this country,

and i just want to say to the men in this country, just shut up and step up. >> greg: i don't know about you, but i don't see that connecting with anyone's brain, unless you mean hitting someone over the head with a mallet. the real problem is the opposite of her diagnosis, and it was captured in the juvenile outburst from the capital hearings. anger focused against others for being others. it's weaponized identity. i suggest more mutual understanding, connecting with common sense that we all share and share is the key word there. the problem with democrats as i see it is the desire to pull apart rather than pull together. for a liberal, it's hard to even admit patriotism is a good thing. it is so old, crusty, and mean. instead, look backward with shame and define all present relationships as oppressive. the result is you split people into nevada driven infections. the result of that, senator who denigrates all men as guilty parties. that doesn't come from the heart or brain.

it comes from mazie hirono who still owes us dudes a serious apology. although it will never happen. dana, what do you make of her analysis? they connect too much with the brain and the need to connect with hearts. >> dana: i think it's a variation on the deplorables theme because we can't possibly expect people in america to understand how intellectually superior the democrats are supposedly. what's interesting is conservatives have been blamed for this in the past as well. talk too much about the deficit and debt and you are too much about personal responsibility. frankly it was something that was said about george h.w. bush. how did bill clinton differentiate himself? what did he say? >> greg: i feel your pain. >> dana: i feel your pain. >> greg: he tried to touch other things as well. but we won't get into that. >> dana: hillary clinton has the problem that's the reverse. donald trump is able to connect with people emotionally and they are so frustrated because they

can get the facts out. the facts, the facts, the facts. it will be fun to see this 2020 class of democrats. i think we are down from 40 2:30 eight. >> greg: we lost avenatti. >> dana: and we lost deval patrick today. >> greg: sandra, what do you make of this? >> sandra: we welcome a lot of democrats on "america's newsroom." quite a few of them come on with us. i asked them, as i asked republicans, what's your message because part of the problem for democrats is they are not saying what they stand for. if you were to translate her saying we shove a lot of information out there, we put a lot of talking points out there. part of the resist movement is to say things and not act. to dana's point, republicans about a hard time with that historically as well, talking about tax cuts of the deficit. what is it going to mean at the

end of the day for your family? you have to appeal to their hearts. for democrats, it's going to have to take action because there is a whole lot of talk right now. >> greg: i don't buy it. they are saying they use their brains too much. it's like they don't understand due process biology, the necessity of free markets or economics, patriotism or community. it seems like they are not thinking at all. >> jesse: permission to make an analogy, greg. >> greg: i would love that. >> jesse: she misdiagnosed it. it would be like donald trump saying you know what, i am too polite. i am too politically correct. i'm trying to force too much consensus. i'm going to be more brash, and i'm going to hit immigration harder. i haven't done that enough. first of all, the democratic party has always put emotions over facts. look at the capital hearings. all the facts were on his side, they wanted you to believe this woman who had no facts. look at the parkland school shooting. everything was saying it's a failure of the fbi, state, local, police. the democrats wanted you to hate

in your hearts the nra or any government program that the democrats put forth. they don't care much it costs. they don't even care if it really works that well. they just want to show voters that they are compassionate and that they care about you. i think her real issue was she's not connecting with the working-class voters of the country because they are fixated, the democrats, with global warming. identity politics. young people in west virginia or the rust belt saying what about me and my family? i am an american. stand up for me. >> greg: what if, juan, a male senator said women, just shut up. >> juan: obviously that's not where we are in american culture at the moment, given what's going on. but to me, the irony is she's right. democrats i think have to learn how to speak from the heart, especially in an era when you are going up against president trump, who makes his appeals based on fear, grievance, anger, white

identity. >> greg: he never mentions white identity. >> juan: you talked a moment ago about patriotism. he talks about nationalism, greg. he is making an appeal that a lot of people fear is -- >> greg: its patriotism. >> juan: look at the number of the kind of very much white nationalist groups that identify and follow president trump. >> greg: it's a faulty logic. you also have left wing commie pinkos that would love to be a democrat. what you're saying -- >> juan: i am talking! >> greg: you never stop talking. >> juan: you were talking. you had a whole monologue. >> jesse: don't go after the monologue. don't you dare. >> juan: here's the point. if you are a democrat right now, you have to say you know what, we can talk about health care. sandra, that was the message, and effective message during the midterms. we can talk about health care but then the republicans and president trump come back and say no, that's socialism.

we are taking it apart. you have to say to people what about -- and then you have this conversation, but until you say she was a child denied treatment, unless you can show that child, doesn't have the same power as trump making a wild eyed argument and appealing to fear and grievance and anger. >> greg: let's dispatch this fallacy altogether. if republicans like oranges, it's because a lot of people like oranges. if racists like oranges, it doesn't make republicans racist. it means a lot of people like oranges. that fallacy is dead. farmers senator >> he loved a good joke. he would throw his head back and give that great laugh but he never, ever could remember a punch line. yeah!? i switched to geico and got more!

>> sandra: fox news alert. we are awaiting the arrival of president george h.w. bush aboard air force one, which has been temporarily renamed special mission 41. let's go to rick leventhal. >> special airlift mission 41 has completed its flyover of college station where bush 41 will be laid to rest tomorrow afternoon. it's on its way here. should be touching down here at about 30 minutes. i can tell you there's a large crowd gathered to my right. we can't show them big because there's a lot in the way. it includes family, friends, and some invited guests, including houston texans and houston astros. the president was a big fan in front of the teams. also members of a couple area high schools and the the administrations of a couple area hospitals for an arrival ceremony that will mirror the departure ceremony we saw on moy with the 77th army band.

they will be playing ruffles and flourishes. we will hear that 21 gun salute from several cannons parked here next to the runway. the president's casket will be taken off the 747, as the family departs the jet and watches. it will pass in front of an honor guard here and be put into a hearse for the caravan from here to the church, saint martins episcopal, where people will be able to pay their respects to the president later tonight through early tomorrow morning. of course the funeral is set for 10:00 a.m. local time tomorrow. 1200 guests. the oak ridge boys and reba mcentire will be singing. eulogies provided by james baker and george p bush.

bush family invited president trump despite all the animosity between the two, it was a real positive sign. i just loved the idea that he was inclusive and could be forgiving. >> sandra: another favorite moment was seeing his granddaughters do the readings at the cathedral, really special moment as well. jenna and laura. >> jesse: eloquent young woman woman. great parenting and great grand parenting. everyone came off looking poised and gathered and affectionate to words george h.w. bush. w had a great line. he said my father had such a great sense of humor. he left a great joke and that's why he chose senator simpson to come speak at the funeral. what greg was saying earlier, such self-deprecation made everyone around him so endearing towards him. he rattled off a few lines and he said it could go either way.

told some great stories of friends. loved the joke. out running with the secret service off the coast of maine. >> sandra: a really special day and special coverage for you because of your relationship. >> dana: i couldn't really look at 43, i thought i'm going to break up on air. one thing that liz cheney told us is that yesterday before he went to the rotunda, as the securities service often does, the half hour wait outside. 43 said have the public come in. want to be surrounded by them. might remember the photograph of him. his hair and makeup team. sitting next to the table. george bush held the baby in the picture.

one of those small town moments in washington. >> sandra: as senator simpson started, he said -- i've only got 10 minutes. >> greg: a lot of laughter, a lot of smiling. it really was a celebration of a life well lived. world war ii, cia, vice president, more than most people do in three lifetimes. to dana's point, the floor and a half hour wait. i see people in line waiting overnight for shoes or a playstation. what's the thing with people waiting in line. then you see humans waiting in line for something they love and it's good to see that kind of love still exists in the face of new things to fall in love with. there are still people out there willing to wait in line. >> sandra: at times it was over two and half hours. thank you, everyone. up next, climate change alarmist

>> juan: this is a fox news alert. what you're looking at is special mission 41, previously known as air force one. president trump has designated it as such to take former president george h.w. bush back to texas. the plane already flew over the bush library in college station. it's going to land at ellington field. tomorrow the president will be buried at texas a&m outside the library alongside his wife barbara. his wife of 73 years who just died in april of this year. also at the cemetery site is robin bush, the president's daughter who died at age three back in 1953. we have been talking with rick leventhal who was on the ground at ellington field. he says that right now there are long lines of people waiting the president's posthumous arrival. people, as rick told us, members

of sports teams. president george w. bush owned the houston astros and the president george h.w. bush famously was in his wheelchair for the coin flip for the super bowl. >> sandra: have his body will e in repose overnight. tomorrow will be the second private funeral, that will take place there. thursday evening will be the burial. more special moments will be coming as we all just lived through what was really memorable date for american history. >> juan: memorable for a member of "the five," ms. dana perino. >> dana: i was honored to know him and for him to have trusted me as a friend. i was telling a story that in 2010, i did a book tour p.r. for george w. bush in one of the

things we did was an interview with oprah winfrey. we went to kennebunkport maine and 41 was going to be interviewed and he asked me, what am i supposed to wear today? i said well, sir, i think it would be nice if you could wear a jacket. that would be great. he didn't want to wear a jacket. he was casual in kennebunkport. he kept asking me, do i have to wear a jacket? i said it would be nice if you would wear a jacket. it's only 45 minutes. he said i know what i'm going to wear. he comes back into the living room and he's wearing a bedazzled oak ridge boys jacket and he said i'm going to wear this for the interview and i said okay, sir, you don't have to wear a jacket. >> juan: is that the way to get around it? that's a smart move. greg, you were talking about the love of mirth. it's not the ronald reagan tell a joke humor.

it was more than self-deprecating kind of humor. talking about broccoli. he made fun of the broccoli. he didn't get upset about it. he just said i don't like broccoli and the whole country responded. >> greg: of the fact is if you can't make fun of yourself, what good are you? if you take yourself too seriously, actually no one takes you seriously and i think that's the important lesson to learn. the guy was a hero but he also was a funny dude. >> juan: jesse, you have a great relationship with your dad and i thought today we saw another great father-son relationship. >> jesse: it must've been cathartic for w to get up there and eulogize his father. he did it so eloquently uncover the bases and made people laugh and made people think and cry. at the end, when he choked up and teared up, i think everybody in the country choked up and teared up. it was a powerful moment. >> juan: so sweet. we will be right back with "one more thing" here onac "one more thing" here onac "the five"

have time to prepare. i didn't know anything that was going on in the news and i really leaned on him and i appreciated that. sandra, thank you for letting me have him for the afternoon. and now we will go to on. >> juan: you've heard about hat tricks and hockey, throwing hats on the ice after one player scored three goals. what about teddy bear tossing? take a look at this video. >> he scores! it is teddy bear toss time. >> juan: it is like they are raining teddy bears. the crowd began tossing the teddy bears on the ice, and fact they threw a record 34,000 bears onto the ice, tossing teddy bears at a hockey game is a tradition. the charity drive is a staple for several minor league teams. it will be christmas gifts were children's, the children's miracle network and the american cancer society. way to go to the hershey bears. >> dana: that is very nice. >> jesse: i think i saw a trump bear that pile.

houston, texas, right there. >> dana: i might just add one thing, it is interesting for me to watch this decision that he had early on in his life to go to texas, to leave new england and all the comforts and the privilege that he had been born into. he said no, let me go and try to make it on my own. he decided to make houston his home. if anyone is wondering about, can you make it somewhere else? can he move on and find upward mobility and find a home in a community, there are places around america where you can still do that. houston might be one of them. it really is amazing that he is going back there to such a hero's welcome. >> that was a time when he really struck out on his own during the oil boom in texas at the time. a lot of speculators, he was at the right place at the right time i definitely did well for himself. his son try to do the same thing. not as successful but successful in his own right. politics were in both of their blood and they both went on to

become presidents. >> there was a a great quote ts week, someone said that george h.w. bush was a texan by choice. others are texans by birth, he was by choice. before coverage continues come up next with bret baier. take it away. >> bret: jesse, thank you and welcome to washington. you were looking live there in houston, texas, is air force one now called a special mission one has landed at ellington field in houston. the body of the 41st president of the united states making its way after the state funeral today. going to his beloved home right now. the casket will shortly be unloaded following today's funeral in washington, we will have all of the ceremony here live. i thought we would first bring you a look at today's coverage, we begin our coverage here with what happened at the washington national cathedral with chief congressional corrent
