whitfield, witfield, thanks to all of you for being part of my program this week. i will see you next week. hello, thank you so much for joining me this sunday. right now, senator john mccain's family and close inner circle of friends are saying their final good-byes after a week of public mourning in celebration of the senator's life. the private memorial and burial is happening right now at the u.s. naval academy at the request of mccain himself. his motorcade arriving moments ago. the streets were lined with people waving american flags. his final resting place is right next to his longtime friend and

naval classmate admiral chuck larson. mccain talked about this decision before his death in his book "the restless wave." >> and then take my leave bound for a place near my chuck larson in the cemetery back where it began. >> it was a pact the two made decades ago. a true testament to the senator's loyalty and pride in his roots. chuck larson's wife telling cnn chuck has his wing man back now. outside the u.s. naval academy we saw the streets were lined to the entrance of the academy there for people who are also paying their final respects in what is now however a private ceremony, right? >> that's right. it is a private closed ceremony. the media is not allowed in, the public is not allowed in, but that didn't stop hundreds of

people coming here. it's an emotional day. the final leg of john mccain's incredible journey and the final of the five days of his sendoff to the american people and so hundreds of people felt compelled to come out and line the streets as you mentioned to the gate leading up to the naval academy. people were on overpasses we saw on route 50, a minute highway from washington to annapolis that goes east out of washington, d.c. they were lining up on overpasses, fire trucks on overpasses, a lot of people feeling compelled to pay their final respects to john mccain. we got a chance to talk to two just outside the gates. robert and nia. here's what they had to say about why they wanted to come here today no as an african-american i want to say thank you for him taking a stand all men are created equal and he meant that and lived that his entire life and i want to say thank you. >> as a democrat i've always

liked john mccain. i didn't agree with all of his m politics but i liked him. he was an honest person. i would like to see the politics go back to the way it used to be. >> reporter: now as we stand here, there is a private ceremony going on inside the chapel on the grounds of the naval academy. tributes are being given to john mccain by his friend senator lindsey graham, by his son jack mccain, by david petraeus. some very powerful and compelling figures giving tributes as we speak. in a couple hours, a very eegs motional symbol -- emotional symbolism will take place as the ceremony ends and they go to the cemetery, the missing man flyover will occur around 4:00. the emotional and final moment will be remembering john mccain by. >> that is a powerful moment that happens at ceremonies of this caliber. thank you so much, brian todd. appreciate it. u.s. senator lindsey graham is giving that tribute to his

best friend john mccain at that private service that brian was telling us about. mccain's daughter meghan calling graham and lieberman her uncles forever. listen to what they said earlier today about megan's emotional tribute to her father yesterday. >> she is her father's daughter. if you say something bad about her dad you will know it, whether you're the janitor or the president of the united states. she is grieving for the father she adored and most americans understand that and i am just so proud of the young lady she has become. >> she's grieving and yet by the nature of his life, she's called on to make a very public, global statement. very hard. but she did it and did it magnificently and she did it the way her dad would want her to do

it. and you know what, she didn't -- she was direct with the way john was. >> joining me now retired rear admiral john kirby. you and senator mccain both have strong ties to the navy. he wrote your son a moving letter, one i know you both will never forget. how are you remembering the life of john mccain? >> i think i'm trying to remember him the same way most of america is right now, fred, as a man of honor and dignity, and great character, who put his country first and knew what the cost of that was an he knew in a personal way that certainly i could never know and so many of us, even many veterans could never know what he went through in the vietnam war. he was honest. he was candid. he was forthright. he could be brutal. but he was always, always it seemed to me to be putting the country's needs first before his own and often the country's needs first before his own party. >> you know, mccain being --

this was his request being buried next to his naval academy best friend, something the two men agreed upon 20 years ago, to be side by side at the u.s. naval academy, express to us the significance of that, that kind of close tie, you know, forever with the naval academy and why this is the more fitting final resting place for him. >> you know, i never got to go to the naval academy. i applied and didn't get in. i have served with many naval academy graduates and had the chance to teach history there a little bit back in the '0890ss. the place has a special feel. when young mid shipmen are going through the academy they don't like it much and can't wait to get out. you will hear them complaining. doesn't take very long once they hit the fleet to look back fondly on what the academy meant to them, did for them, the start it gave them. i think senator mccain wanting to be buried next to chuck larson says how special the naval academy was as well but

also how special that was with chuck larson, wanting to be buried know his ship mate when he could have been buried at arlington but he chose the naval academy. it speaks volumes of what that meant to him. >> at arlington national cemetery my dad is buried there and earned that flyover, there will be a flyover taking place for mccain. express the significance of that, the importance of it, and the meaning behind it? >> you know, in the navy, fred, it's kind of in our dna to learn to say good-bye. to learn to say farewell. the moment you join the navy you're going to see and means you're going to say good-bye to family, friends, your hometown and when you come home you say good-bye to allies and partners and shipmates you served with overseas. today is the final farewell that the navy gets to give and to bid to john mccain. so it will be full of pomp and circumstance as our tradition holds and part is the missing

man flyover which is reserved for those in aviation and he was a combat pilot. that missing man formation is -- it just gets the hairs on the back of your neck to stand up when you see that one aircraft take off and advance in altitude and head to the heavens and let the other three keep going. it's a -- again, part of who we are in the navy about saying good-bye. >> it is powerful. it offers a certain finality but at the same time there is a peace that comes with that. all right. retired rear admiral john kirby, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> the task of appointing someone to fill john mccain's senate seat. everyone knows his shoes will never be filled but how about the u.s. senate seat. that process is just beginning. arizona governor doug doucy will be in charge and the stakes are high with confirmation hearings getting under way this week for u.s. supreme court domeny brett

kavanaugh in the hearings. the republicans hold a slim majority in the senate. mccain's replacement would give them a razor thin 51-49 edge. if democrats units against kavanaugh republicans could need every vote that they can get. not only for the u.s. supreme court confirmation, but for other votes before the 2016 -- 2018 midterms. with me now is eric bradnor, a cnn politics reporter. all right. so, you know, there's a lot of pressure on the arizona governor, right, to make a decision. what's the criteria he would be weighing in order to find a successor, someone to fill this seat temporarily? >> yeah. there's absolutely a lot of pressure and it's kind of coming from three directions, right. president trump, obviously wants something who is going to be a reliable vote in the senate, kind of a departure from a john mccain or a jeff flake, whereas

the mccain family is likely to want someone sort of in his maverick shoes, and then the -- >> do you think there would be that consultation with the family? >> it seems likely the governor will at least want someone the family would be happy with, would be on board with. he won't want to alienate them or hurt feelings by choosing someone who they see is an unworthy successor. that's why there's some talk of perhaps a -- someone who would fill the seat until 2020 when there would be a special election but would not run for election, potentially john kyle, former senator, who might take the role for a couple years or a former congressman or something like that. the governor is up for re-election this year, too, and he knows arizona republicans, the people he needs to turn out, as his base, are paying close

attention and have high expectations. it's a lot of pressure from a lot of different directions he has to balance here. >> eric, while the family then, you're saying is being consulted, what about any considerations being made by john mccain's wife cindy or even particularly post that eulogy from daughter meghan mccain yesterday, don't know if she's still a resident of arizona or if it would matter in this case, whether keeping it in the family is at all a possibility? >> it seems like a remote possibility. there's been talk about cindy mccain certainly, but the problem is, again, arizona republicans, sort of the irony of the last week as the nation mourns john mccain and sees him as a hero and a patriot, arizona republicans have actually been shifting away from his politics. they've been turned off by mccain and senator jeff flake

who this year is retiring rather than running for re-election in part because he's broken from president trump so often. arizona republicans are demanding someone to be much more loyal to the president and that's a departure from the mccain family and a lot of mccain's political circle including people like grant woods, the former mccain chief of staff who delivered a really moving eulogy as well. that's -- it's tough to see the governor pleasing arizona republicans by picking someone -- >> that's the task for the governor to placate both points of view. >> it is, absolutely. it is. and that's why he's looking at some people he has appointed to state offices. there are a couple of women, eileen klein, the state treasurer, and karyn taylor robinson a wealthy developer he appointed to the state board of regents who might be picked that could sort of thread that needle

who would be acceptable to everyone and to all of the competing interests. but it's tough. and the governor has told his aides, his advisors, not to talk about this until mccarriin is l to rest. . there's not a lot of information that has been leaking out the last few days in part because the governor wants it to be all about mccain and to save the speculation for the next few days. >> after this labor day weekend, all things could change significantly. eric bradner, thank you so much. >> thank you. in the meantime also after this holiday weekend, something big gets under way in washington. the confirmation hearings for brett kavanaugh, the supreme court nominee and that begins on tuesday. the white house says it is holding back more than 100,000 pages, in fact, of documents related to his time as a lawyer in george w. bush's

administration. senate minority leader chuck schumer calls the decision a friday night document massacre. democrats claim republicans are trying to force through kavanaugh's nomination without the proper scrutiny. let's go to cnn white house correspondent boris sanchez. boris, what is the reason why the white house is withholding by way of executive privilege withholding this 100,000 pages of documents? >> hey there. the trump administration citing constitutional privilege for withholding these 100,000 or so pages worth of documents related to brett kavanaugh's time as an attorney at the white house under president george w. bush. william burk the attorney charged with reviewing these documents sent a letter to chuck grassley friday night explaining the review process for these 660,000 plus documents. in that letter he explains his rationale and says former president bush reepds out to him asking him to be as transparent as possible.

well as you saw there in that statement from minority leader chuck schumer, democrats do not feel this has been a transparent process at all. he referred to it as the friday night document massacre. beyond that documents are not going to be the only heated, divisive portion of this confirmation process. brett kavanaugh's stance on a number of contentious issues including roe versus wade will come into play. lindsey graham was asked about this earlier today. listen to the way he answered this question. >> here's what i hope he'll do. if there's a case before him that challenges roe v. wade he would listen to both sides of the story, apply a test to overturn precedent, precedent is important, but it's not invalid. i'm dying to see if he believes that citizens versus united can be overturned. the bottom line here, there's a

process to overturn a precedent and i think he understand that process. he will apply it. and if it were up to me states would make these decisions not the supreme court. it is a long-held precedent of the court, it will be challenged over time and i hope he will give it a fair hearing. >> reporter: confirmation hearings for brett kavanaugh begin on tuesday. president trump meantime with no public events on the schedule he has not weighed in on this confirmation fight this weekend via twitter either. fred? >> all right. boris sanchez at the white house, thanks so much. all right. next, a cardinal yelled at in the middle of mass. >> considerable animosity. >> shame on you. >> this as the catholic church faces worldwide criticism of its sex abuse scandal and racists are now capitalizing on the death of mollie tibbetts after she was killed. her family's message to the

he felt compelled to do that at that time? >> you know, fred, he said he was very frustrated for what he said was the church not addressing the root of the problem, but as you mentioned, we were inside that church. let me take you inside because this cardinal did receive a warm welcome. th there were applause as well. when he started speaking about transparency, accountability, when he started speaking about the clerical sex abuse scandal, that's when emotions boiled over and this man stood up and said, "shame on you." when i talked to him outside, he said that he was very frustrated for the lack of response on behalf of the church in regards to the pennsylvania grand jury report. he said that he and others feel very frustrated, very conflicted because their faith is still intact but they're very frustrated with the church. they want transparency.

they want accountability. he also said he would want the cardinal to speak more as a pastor and less as a politician. we talked to other people there as well who shared a lot of those thoughts but there was one other woman who made a very loud statement with her silence. take a look at this picture. she stood up, crossed her arms and gave the cardinal her back. here's what she said. >> i think he should resign. i think he should understand that just because you didn't mean to do something, doesn't mean that there weren't terrible consequences for lots of people. i feel he should resign as cardinal. >> reporter: we asked the archdiocese for response and here's what they said. quote, cardinal wuerl has spoken over the past two months, conveyed his profound sadness and contrition and addressed every issue as it has arisen in

a straightforward and transparent manner. fred? >> all right. rosa flores, clearly there are many parishioners who do not agree with that and really are wanting more, if not from cardinal wuerl but the catholic church in its entirety. rosa flores, thank you so much in washington. straight ahead, a lot is resting on a potential trade deal between the united states and canada. this as president trump threatens to keep canada out of an agreement. farmers in trump country could be most impacted if a deal is not reached. that is straight ahead.

president trump is once again threatening to exclude canada from any new free trade agreement tweeting out there is no political necessity to keep canada in the new nafta deal if we don't make a fair deal for the u.s. after decades of abuse, canada will be out. a u.s. imposed deadline came and wept friday with no new deal. canada's foreign minister says they won't be pushed into a bad agreement. >> we want a good deal, not just any deal, and a good deal is one which is good for canada and good for canadians, a good deal reflects the canadian national interests and which canadian values are defended. >> all right. talks are set to resume on wednesday. so what's at stake is one of the u.s.'s biggest trading relationships with more than $300 billion in goods and services crossing the border

each year. i want to bring in bruce heyman the former ambassador to canada. welcome. good to see you. >> good to be here. >> farming states and border states rely on canada as an export market. in your view, are the greatest dangers comes to merchants and farmers or is the greater -- greatest danger comes to the u.s. political landscape including the president as we are just now weeks ahead, two months away from midterms? >> the answer is both and i thought maybe we would just use this opportunity because trade is so complicated for so many people. i thought we would just take it down to its basics. the united states of america tells more to canada in goods and services than canada sells to the united states. that's a trade surplus. now the president has been talking all along about how the u.s. has been taken advantage of by countries an uses trade

deficit as a means of discussing that. that's not true. so canada actually buys more not only overall goods and services, they buy more steel, more dairy, more of just about everything from us. let's now take that one step further. we sell more to canada than any other nation in the world, so not only are they a good customer, they're our number one customer of the united states. >> so just getting people on board with his rhetoric does not, you know, equate to the reality when you hear the, you know, foreign affairs minister of canada saying we're looking for a plan that is a good deal for canadians for this country, there isn't a complaint coming from the foreign affairs minister that there is, you know, a surplus on the u.s. side in terms of exports so what is at issue here? >> so, what's at issue is i think somehow the president has some issue with canada that i can't actually figure out. he's going at the prime

minister, he's going at the country, making false statements with regard to trade, but when you talk about political here's what's happening which is increasing the pressure on him which caused the tweets over the weekend unfortunately during the funeral service for senator mccain. gop senate finance orrin hatch tweets out the importance of canada. the u.s. chamber talks about the importance of having canada here. and today, you now have labor unions with the afl-cio head coming out saying you need canada in here. so when do you see labor unions and business come together? they come together when u.s. jobs will be impacted and the u.s. economy will be impacted and the president is taking this further saying well if you don't go along with me i'm going to start ripping up nafta or taxing autos and auto parts which would be harmful to american jobs. >> and this can't be, you know, singular endorsement of any new potential deal, any new deal

will have to be ratified by congress. will the president have that support by either continuing to threaten or eliminating an important trade partner like canada? >> i don't think so. what's even more confusing to me and everybody should -- can easily do this on google right now, article 1, section 8 of the u.s. constitution, places the u.s. congress and responsibility for our foreign trade agreements, so whatever the president says, congress is going to have to approve it. congress is facing elections coming up in just a few weeks. i think everyone, regardless of party, needs to come forward and say are you supportive of having canada as your partner? if not, be accountable to the voter. this is a nonpartisan issue. this is our most important customer, our most important friend, this is our best friend, our next door neighbor, greatest ally, but our number one

customer we're creating millions of american jobs and the president has this wrong. >> 3 $300 billion. that's a lot of family businesses. >> that's what we sell to them, yeah. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. >> pleasure. straight ahead, big tech companies take on lawmakers on capitol hill this week. the topic, russian trolls and america's elections. what they are doing to stop interference. but first, she is a u.s. supreme court justice and pop culture icon, ruth bader ginsburg has developed an astonishing legal legacy and now a new cnn film "rbg" airing tomorrow at 9:00 eastern takes an in-depth look at this quiet warrior's life-long journey. here's a sneak peek. >> i'm proud to nominate this path-breaking attorney, advocate and judge to be the 107th justice to the united states supreme court. >> we may be in trying times, but think how it was in those

top executives from some of the country's biggest tech companies head to capitol hill for an expected grilling from members of congress. the companies have faced criticism for how their platforms were used to spread misinformation during the 2016 presidential election, particularly by russian trolls. the hearing before the senate intel committee wednesday comes just days after president trump ramped up his own attacks on google accusing the search engine of bias and of trying to silence conservative voices. cnn's senior media reporter oliver darcy is following the latest developments for us.

exactly what are senators on the intel committee hoping to find out from twitter chief jack dorsey and facebook's coo sheryl sandberg? we know that google might not appear, but what are the expectations? >> yeah. there's a lot going on here. these executives from the tech companies are set to appear in front of the senate intel committee and it's supposed to be about russian meddling in the u.s. election, so i think you can expect from a lot of lawmakers to hear about what the tech platforms are doing to prevent meddling in the election what actions in the past and things of that nature. that said the president like you mentioned has brought up the idea that these companies are biased against conservatives and while there is little grounding in what president is accusing these companies of, you can expect a lot of republican lawmakers to ask these companies, google and facebook, youtube, what they are doing and if they are biased against conservatives and how they limit

people from being sensored based on political viewpoints. >> are there potential consequences if google does not show up. >> that's one of the side shows going on, google was invited but refuse to send their ceo to testify and they sent -- they want to send their chief legal counsel but the senators, the ranking senators on the senate intel committee are saying that's not good enough and they're threatening to put an empty chair alongside twitter ceo jack dorsey and facebook's coo sheryl sandberg showing that google refuses to send one of their top executives to testify about important matters in front of the senate intel committee. >> so in february u.s. intelligence agencies warned that russia would try to interfere in the 2018 midterms and even intimating it was happening but using soemcial mea to spread propaganda, misleading reports, similar to what was

experienced in 2016. do we know if the tech companies have made any changes to -- i mean any real concerted effort to prevent this from happening, perhaps at the same scale as what was experienced in 2016? >> these tech companies they say they take them seriously. one, for instance, facebook at least, has made it so if you are advertising about a political issue the person who is paying for that advertisement that's disclosed to the consumer. there's also some measures that they put into place about purchasing the advertisements before you could anonymously purchase facebook ads and ads on the network. there's action they've taken in that regard. they've been a lot more sensitive in dealing with how they find and locate potential russian trolls, pageses that are run by suspected russian trolls. you've seen them dismantle networks of the pages. where facebook and twitter took down pages they thought were being operated by russians to

sew discord in the u.s. elections. you will want to see senators still ask them what more action they're taking, are they under attack at the moment by russian trolls, have they seen anything that might indicate interference in the current election and what more are they going to do in 2020 to prevent these things going forward. i think a lot of questions for these guys and you're going to see them. >> oliver, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> all right. next, racists pouncing on the death of a college student killed by an undocumented immigrant suggesting all latinos are a threat. the family of mollie tibbetts is calling for an end to this hateful rhetoric. ss. so that if your customer needs shoes, & he's got wide feet. & with edge-to-edge intelligence you've got near real time inventory updates. & he'll find the same shoes in your store that he found online he'll be one happy, very forgetful wide footed customer. at&t provides edge to edge intelligence. it can do so much for your business,

florida's democratic candidate for governor is responding to racist robo calls targeting his campaign. andrew gillum's his to toric viy gives him a shot at being the first black governor. he addressed the calls and his opponent, who said florida voters should not monkey this up by electing gillum. >> i have to tell you, i do find it deeply regrettable. i mean, on the day right after i secured the democratic nomination, we had to deal with some of the dog whistles directly from my opponent. i want to make sure we don't racialize and frankly weaponize race as a part of this process, which is why i've called on my opponent to work to rise above some of these things. people are taking their cues from him, from his campaign, and

from donald trump. we saw in charlottesville that can lead to real, frankly dangerous outcomes. >> and then about those robo calls in florida, 78-second robo call messages mocking gillum's race and has jungle noises in the background. the message was paid for by a white supremacist and neo-nazi group. it all part of a growing anti-immigrant sentiment since the murder of iowa college student mollie tibbetts. an undocumented immigrant from mexico is charged with her murder. now the family is joining the city of des moines in fighting the anti-immigrant sentiment. >> it's been about a week now since the funeral of mollie

tibbetts was held. since then, the young woman's family has been trying to find at least a measure of peace in all of this. now her father says he's having to focus efforts on renewing a plea to politicians to stop using his daughter as a political pawn. >> you saw what happened to that incredible, beautiful young woman. should have never happened. illegally in our country. >> reporter: when some politicians and pundits have refused to listen, mollie tibbetts' father said he had to ask again. in an op-ed this weekend, rob tibbetts renewed his plea to have his murdered daughter left out of the immigration debate. he writes, some have ignored our request. they have instead chosen to callously distort and corrupt mollie's tragic death to advance a cause she vehemently opposed. tibbetts' statement comes as nervousness and fear grow throughout the small farming region that was mollie's home because of the suspected killer's undocumented status.
