service to be in his words a thousand points of life. illuminating the hope of america to the world. but president trump wasn't always so gracious to president bush's view of a kinder, gentler nation. it was only a mter of months ago in july of this past year that president trump wasit al of that thousand points of light. simply saying what the hell is that? there was no love lost between the two. a booked publi a year ago referred to quotes from george h.w. bush about president trump saying that he didn'eally know him but he said i know that he is a blow ha. he sai i don't like him. obviously that, a followup to the fierce back and forth that existed during the 2016 campaign between jeb bush and donald trump. the white house making no nnouncements today about the president's schedule whether anything will change. he does have more meetings the g-20 scheduled. back at home they will commemorate the loss, the memory d honor the life of george

h.w. bush. the white house has now lowered the flag to half-mast. look to you in new york. >> peter, thank you. en have a m for a personal reflection. you've been in politics and covering politics for a long orme. >> rr: yes. what i'm struck by and i was in houston back in april shortlyhe aftereath of barbara bush. of course, theirs was the longest marriage in presidential history. 73 years. that was when george h.w. bush was hospitalized. i h o theortunity at that time as many people were already celebrating the life ora bar bush but also of george h.w. bush. you'll remember in 2013 when he was ill again, he put out a statement through his aides saying that folks should put their harps away. th legacy of george h.w. bush based on the conversations i've had with so many is just a lifetime of service. a two-time congressman. a cia director. a u.n. ambassador.

onvice president formally serving beneathd reagan. obviously he was the last of a generati presidents. the last world war ii veteran to rve in office. shot down in 1944. just 20 yearsold. facing enemy fire. there's so many ways to celebrate his life and legacy beyond his service in office is what he did to inspire a lot of icans broadly. i think that's how a lot of americans will remember him. >> thank you, peter. john meacham is aid prtial historian who wrote a biography called "destiny and power, the americanf audacity george h.w. bush". what have we lost? >> he was america's last great statesman. the last combat president. the last president of a

generation where while they weren't perfect, they'd be t first to tell you and certainly president bush would be the first to tell you, ae if didn't, barbara would, but they understand service toe country cam first. that country came before party. that the national interests came before selfish interests. that's not in a stnostalgia. that's ast stive view at decisions he made. before him armageddon was a possibility. after him it wasn't. before him there was a sense that america would be in a perpetual conflict with the soviet union. after him it was gone. what his -- the bipartisan he brought to the actual execution of power is something that seemo as now as the middle ages.

it was just 30 years ago this t montht he became president. and yet, the way in which he was able to govern dealing with democratic majorities in both houses and yet, passing legislation like the america's disabilities achi when you about it, george bush's fingerprint is on virtually every building in the united states of heamerica. aw a need and he met it. >> you had the opportunity to spend o lottime with the bushes as you prepared your biography. let us know personally what it's like for you to kno t --have got ton know him on a level few others have been able to. >> well, they were among the most remarkable people you can imagine. and it's a matter of kind of innate grace. that's what struck me so muc en i first met him. youn' didt associate the word charismatic with george h.w. bush.we think of kennedy, and reagan and clinton or barack obama as

charismatic.or h.w. bush was a competitive person. i remember within five or six minutes o spending some time around him up in maine, i thout oh, that's how he became president. this is the kind of man you would trust with the destiny of your c because he communicated a sense of ability and serenity in the storm. now, i can hearim right now with maybe a martini pitcher behind him saying knock it off. that's enough about me which was part of the charm asll and it was authentic. one of the ironies, of course, is that a man who didn't like talking about himself went into the one line of work where you have to talk aut yourself. that was one of the reasons he was so goofy sometimes when he spoke. he always had his mother's voice in his head saying don't be a bragger, george. what we've lost here overnight is the embodiment of an american

century where we were generally seen and generally were a force for good around the world. >> innate grace. john, thank you so much for your reflections this morning. >> let's bring in andrea mitchel. good morning to you. >> good morning toyou. >> andrea, your time in washington, lots of closeup time with george herbert walker bushs talk aboute of your reflections this morning, please. >> this is a moment that we were all waiting and expecting because certainly after we saw his sorrownd grief when he'd lost his lifelong partner, barbara bushhtess than e months ago, we knew this moment would come, but it is the passing of the last of the greatest generation world war ii veterans who served as presidents and commander in chief, and a man of grace and generosity, of a beautiful

spirit. we know that he is the hetriarch, but he's also -- he was also last of a particular kind of politici. and he brought so much dedication to public service from havg become volunteered and been the youngest aviator in world war ii to have survived being shot down and recovered from the pacific, and then gone onto so many posts. so many disappointments. having st him to the cia and chin successful competitors were trying to sideline him from politics and yet, he persevered pd managed to come back from losses inmary states to come back and actually win the presidency. ofcourse, having covered the '92 campaign and all the previous campaigns wither georg hbert walker bush to wash the

pain of hisoss to bill clinton, a different kind of campaign, that was profoundly moving, because as angry and hurt as he felt and as much blame as he cast around, he ultimately knew that he did n have that particular vision thing, as they said, or the fire in the belly for that second term. as muchs he wanted it, he really didn't. and look at thi post presidency and the grace with which he saw his competitors and rivals. eventually he became so close to bill clinton which george w. bush jokes that he was a brother from another mother. they were so close, yet,o very different. >> andrea mitchel, thank you. we'll have the latest in the passing of george h.w. bush coming uprn this g on "today" j online, and all day on nbc. this has been an nbc news special report. >> as we bring you back
