thanks, john. honestly, seeing him down range, i never traveled with a colleague who was better to our enlisted or harder on our generals. john mccain loved the men and women who served in the uniform of the united states, and he was a champion of our armed forces throughout his career. in every generation, there are those who put country first. who prize service ahead of self. who summon idealism from a cynical age. john mccain was such a man. today, he lies in the place where he served to the last, the congress of the united states. soon, he will go to rest on the grounds where he served first, the united states naval academy. the eyes of the american people will be upon him as he goes. and so, too, will their prayers. for him and especially for his beloved family gathered here today, and we will pray that those who mourn shall be comforted. so we mourn with those who mourn and we xwreeb with those who grieve but we do not grieve like those who have no hope. because john mccain like millions of a

john was immune to jet lag. and he was never more excited than we had an opportunity to share america's values abroad. and, of course, he was devoted to the men and women of our armed forces. from countless visits with deployed unit in iraq and afghanistan, to his committee meetings right here in this body, john honored their sacrifices in a way that only he could. he never forgot them but not with any segment of our military might and technical problems, our armed services made up of people, of our constituents, of volunteers, of the brave. john's favorite novelist ernest hemingway for whom the bell tolls. i suspect we will hear it quoted quite a bit in the days ahead. the lead character is an american ex-pat named robert jordan who risked everything in the spanish civil war. he's a little bit brash, maybe a little hotheaded. in fact, he is a dynamite specialist whose specially literally is blowing things up. he goes down fighting right down to the books final pages. i'm sure some of us can imagine why john mig

thank you, john. in all seriousness, senator mccain's leadership was vital in numerous authorization acts that have substantially improved care for service members and increased the capacity of our military to meet the myriad national security challenges we face. steady force in turbulent times in global afarmers the threats to our national security and the stability of the global order are more numerous and diverse now than way any point in our recent history. we should remain john's guidance that we live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil. we are the custodians of those ideals, at home and their champion abroad. he believed in an america that is united by its values, not divided by manufactured distrust and animus. most importantly, he emphasized a moral obstacles that we as americans carry to provide leadership in the world and serve as the beacon of hope, opportunity, and justice -- both here and across the globe. as a further reflection, i was always impressed by john's respect for coll

first, who was john mccain? john was a man deeply in love with his country and its promise. a man optimistic that tomorrow would be better than today and the man grateful for the chance to serve a cause greater than himself. his humor was rooted in that hopefulness, the sometimes sharp sting of his words in debate rooted in his passion for his cause and the love of the fight and his restlessness rooted in an impatience to get on with it, defending y, liberty or making a difference in the world, to help soften the burdens of millions not yet free. john was both a romantic and a cynic as some have said, with love and passion about the causes he fought for yet clear eyed about the long odds he often faced in our ideals. trying to summarize john, just reviewing a few of his titles fairly captures this complexity of this man. naval aviator, pow, captive, congressman, senator, chair of the commerce committee, chair of the armed purposes committee, presidential nominee of his party. hero. john also treasure deeply plto titles rarely mentionedhere . president and father. he clearly

it was john mccain. i had made speech after speech on the subject, but when john mccain got up and spoke about the issue of torture, there was silence on the floor of the senate as we listened carefully. he proposed a resolution establishing humane standards of treatment, realizing that the humanity we showed toward our prisoners is the same humanity we expected if americans were taken prisoner, and his effort was enacted by the senate with over 90 votes, a strong bipartisan roll call. john mccain more than anything was a champion of the united states military. the men and women who serve in our armed forces. they never had a better friend. our nation's veterans and their families never had a stronger ally. he was a leader in the fight to curb the influence of special interests and politics and to make our government truly a government of, by, and for the people, with russ feingold and john mccain, they moved us toward what america is longing for, putting the special interests behind us, putting the peop

john mccain had both. fortunately, all that intensity came paired with a world class sense of humor. as we all know, john really hated to lose. the line he used after his presidential campaigns still makes me laugh. some would ask how he's copying with defeat and john would say, actually, i'm sleeping like a baby. wake up every two hours and cry. seriously, it's hard to describe this larger than life figure without lapsing into what sounds like cliches. we've all heard our whole lives about the importance of patriotism and self-sacrifice. but we cannot take that culture of commitment for granted because just like our nation's security and our american liberty, the very notion that some causes really are greater than ourselves only survives because service members and statesmen like john mccain will fight and even die to defend it. the bond between john and his country was so deep, but of course other bonds ran deeper still. while john's colleagues grieve our own loss, we also send our love and support to t

john likes to move fast. so if we were in iraq and were trying to go from the embassy anywhere in the country, we had to get on a black hawk helicopter, we had to fly with an he is kofrescort, maybe get armored vehicle, a really big cumbersome armored vehicle but had to move quickly. getting in and out, moving, not holding him up. i think that's part of what he means. i kept up with him, i was able to go wherever he went. that was important. because he would tell me occasionally, i won't share names, i took so and so, both men and women from the senate, and they just couldn't keep up. so i knew it was important to keep up. >> also interestingly when secretary clinton was really criticized as you remember in a very strong and extended way by republicans for the attacks in benghazi that resulted in the loss of life of the u.s. ambassador and three others, john mccain criticized a lot of the operation and things that went wrong but always was reluctant, never criticized hillary clinton personally, and she rememb

that's what made john special. made john a giant among all of us. but in my view, john didn't believe that america's future and fate rested on heroes. we used to talk about what i liked most about him, he understood what i hope we all remember. heroes didn't build this country. ordinary people being given half a chance are capable of doing extraordinary things. extraordinary things. john knew ordinary americans understood that each of us has a duty to defend the integrity, dignity and birthright of every chi child. that communities are built by thousands of small acts of de n decency that americans show each other every single day. that very deep in the dna of this nation's soul lies a flame that was lit over 200 years ago and each of us carries with us, and each of us has the capacity and responsibility and we can screw up the courage to ensure it's not extinguished. it's a thousand little things that make us different. bottom line, i think john believed in us. i think he believed in the american people, not just all the preambles. he believed in t

what was it like to cover and deal with the senator john mccain and john mccain the person. reporter: really a fascinating character. he was serious about the issues, you heard him talk about the iraq war and afghanistan and policy matters. you see mccain when you are about to do a life shot with us or another network. he would wink with a twinkle in his eye. he would say what are you doing, boy? i would look over and realize i was being heckled by john mccain. my understanding is john mccain believed if we were telling the stories about what's going on and writing the stories in our nation's politics, having a relationship would help us know what he was thinking with his votes over the years. howie: i think he enjoyed the give and take with the press. he was such a fixture on the sunday shows. he was the most of frequent guest on "meet the press" ever. sometimes he got testy or i am patients with journalists. but i think he viewed it as another form of combat. >> reporter: no question. i think he enjoyed being the senior statesman on cap hill. putting his arm around a new m

that's what made john special, made john a giant among all of us. but in my view, john didn't believe that america's future and fate rested on heroes. we used to talk about and i liked most about him is he understood what i hope we all remember. heroes didn't build this country. ordinary people being given half a chance are capable of doing extraordinary things. extraordinary things. john knew ordinary americans understood that each of us has a duty to defend the integrity, dignity, and birthright of every child. good communities are built by thousands of small acts of decency. that americans, as i speak today, show each other every single day. buried deep in the dna of this nation's soul lies a flame that was lit over 200 years ago that each of us carries with us and each one of us has the capacity, the responsibility, and we can screw up the courage to ensure it's not extinguish. it's a thousand little things that make us different. the bottom line was i think john believed in us. i think he believed in the american people, not just all the preamb

i believe there's a little john mccain in all of us and a little john mccain practiced by a lot of people can make this a really great nation. >> senator lindsey graham honored john mccain on the senate floor, his dear friend. this day, five days of memorial for the fallen senator begin as he lies in state in the arizona state capital. joining us now 1 tom ridge, former secretary of homeland security, he will serve as a pallbearer at the funeral service in washington. governor, thanks for being with us. i wonder if you can tell us what that honor means to you? >> it's several days of celebration of a life well lived and much to be celebrated and frankly john and i met back in 1982, we were both elected to congress together. at the time there were very few vietnam combat veterans in the congress of the united states. i don't pretend to suggest this my time in service in southeast asia was equivalent to his. i'm sure at the outset he said something to me "i thought you harbor guys went to canada rather than southeast asia" or something like that. over the past 30 years we game great friends

i want to point something out about john brennan. i know john brennan. i have met him several times. john brennan is the man that killed osama bin laden at the order of president barack obama by integrating cia assets, producing the intelligence, passing that intelligence on to our special mission war fighters and executing that mission. he has unique intelligence knowledge, which must be shared with his successors and his opinion which should be brought forth whenever this nation needs to defend itself. donald trump does not concern himself with the protection of this nation. he concerns himself with the protection of donald trump. and so he allows people -- as steve said, people like jared kushner who made contact with the cushions and asked for secure krip toe graphic communications to hide his back channel from the cia and the nsa, he should not be cleared. john brennan should be cleared. at this point donald trump has given more top secret information to the russians just through inadvertent disclosure than the clearance that john brennan has had. s

this is a country john mccain loved so dearly. plans to remember him at multiple locations over the next six days. stephanie elam has more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. over the last year as he knew he was battling brain cancer he was instrumental in planning out how he would be memorialized in the week after his passing. we have more of an idea now what's going to happen starting here in phoenix here in his home state and that will begin on wednesday on what would have been his 82nd birthday. he's going to lie in state here at the capitol here in the city. and then on thursday, there will be a memorial service at the north baptist -- north phoenix baptist church. and what we're learning from the "washington post" is that former vice president joe biden is expected to speak there. and then the senator's body will leave the state for the last time and head to washington, d.c. where he will lie in state at the u.s. capitol. followed up by on saturday a funeral at the national cathedral and where we understand he'll be eu

john mccain had both. fortunately, all that intensity came paired with a world class sense of humor. as we all know, john really hated to lose. the line he used after his presidential campaigns still makes me laugh. some would ask how he's copying with defeat and john would say, actually, i'm sleeping like a baby. wake up every two hours and cry. seriously, it's hard to describe this larger than life figure without lapsing into what sounds like cliches. we've all heard our whole lives about the importance of patriotism and self-sacrifice. but we cannot take that culture of commitment for granted because just like our nation's security and our american liberty, the very notion that some causes really are greater than ourselves only survives because service members and statesmen like john mccain will fight and even die to defend it. the bond between john and his country was so deep, but of course other bonds ran deeper still. while john's colleagues grieve our own loss, we also send our love and support to t

that was john mccain. it was john mccain. but before that he usually would be working hard to get people to come to the table, recognize common ground, and truly be bipartisan. he wasn't an angel, and he wasn't a magician, but he was a real good senator. he really worked -- he respected the process. but something else that doug reminded me of. john mccain was a champion for democracy around the world. his role at the international republican institute where they helped to spread democracy around the globe was dramatic. he left such an important legacy of the importance of democracy as a governing opportunity where people have their voices heard. and he was a champion of that in the united states, but more significantly he made sure that the shining city on the hill, the united states of america, was a beacon of democracy to the rest of the world. he sacrificed a lot to spread that democracy, and he did it in a very challenging way in some very tough places around the world when he said, you're a selfish government, you should

president, any thoughts on john mccain? mr. president, any thoughts on john mccain? >> let's move it. thanks, everybody. let's go this way. >> any thoughts on the legacy of john mccain? mr. president, do you have any thoughts on john mccain? do you have any thoughts at all about john mccain? >> let's go. let's go. >> do you believe john mccain was a hero, sir? nothing at all about john mccain? okay. >> mr. president, the american legions asked you to lower the flags to half-staff. any reaction to the american legion? >> make your way out. >> thank you. >> it's over. come out. >> any proclamation about john mccain. why won't you say anything about john mccain? >> reporter: the flag was lowered after the order came out from the white house around 4:00 p.m. yesterday. it took a little longer at the pentagon, but eventually it came down there, as well. what we should watch for at this press conference that's taking place now at the pentagon is how do secretary mattis and chairman dunford raise the man mccain without running crosswise to the president they serve. they alw

do you have any thoughts at all on john mccain? do you think john mccain is a hero? >> let's go, keep moving. >> nothing at all about john mccain? >> keep moving, let's go, we're finished. >> thank you very much. >> silence. thank you very much. this was his response just a few hours earlier when asked about mccain. >> mr. president, any thoughts on john mccain? mr. president, any thoughts on john mccain, sir? >>

john was a hero. his character, courage, honor, integrity, but i think the things understated the most is his optimism. that's what made john special, made john a giant among all of us. but in my view, john didn't believe that america's future and fate rested on heroes. what i talk most about him is he understood what i hope we all remember, heroes didn't build this country. ordinary people being given half a chance are capable of doing extraordinary things, extraordinary things. john knew ordinary americans understood that each of us has a duty to defend the integrity, dignity, and birthright of every child. good communities are built by thousands of small acts of decency. that americans, as i speak today, show each other every single day. very deep in the d.n.a. of this nation's soul lies a flame that was lit over 200 years ago, that each of us carries with us and each one of us has the capacity, the responsibility, and we can screw up the courage to ensure it's not extinguish. it's a thousand littl

the state of israel salutes john mccain. a poignant sentiment from germ numbers foreign minister who writes, he stood for america which is a reliable and strong partner. an america that takes strong responsibility for others and sticks to its principles even in a difficult moment. arthel: to more on this. we'll get ambassador kirk volker. ambassador, thank you for being here, unfortunately under these circumstances. if you would, start for us with your thoughts of the man himself. >> he was an extraordinary individual. he had the hallmarks of courage and integrity that guided him. he was about serving a cause greater than one's self. arthel: as executive director of the mccain institute which is part of arizona state university, would you tell us about the current agenda and what the mccain institute represents. >> it was founded at the initiative of nor mccain with arizona state university. the purpose is to advance character and leadership. arthel: talk about the significance in senator mccain created and developing foreig

america will miss john mccain. the world will miss john mccain. and i will miss him dearly. that is from the vice president, joe biden. it has been a tough story to report on. i think it hits all of us personally. our thoughts and prayers and sincere condolences out to the mccain family. may god rest senator john mccain 's soul. eric: absolutely. a man of character and conviction. when you met him he had such enthusiasm in meeting people and knowing us with the love of our nation. his service for so many decades. [♪] howie: tributes are pouring tributes are pouring in from george w. bush to barack obama. from commentators after his death yesterday at 81. i knew this line of the senate quite well but i'm not here to lionize him. he never cast himself as a saint the way he ended his first marches ethical breach in the peddling scandal that inspired his crusade for campaign-finance reform.to his apology for not having enough the confederate flag in south carolina to boost his chances in the states primary. call himself a coward.

that's what made john special. made john a giant among all of us. but in my view john didn't believe that america's future and fate rested on heros. we used to talk, about and i liked most about him, is he understood what i hope we all remember, heros didn't build this country. order people being given half a chance are capable of doing extraordinary things. extraordinary things. john knew order americans understood that each of us has a duty to defend the integrity, dignity, and birth right of every child. he carried it. good communities are built by thousands of small acts of decency that americans, as i speak today, show each other every single day. buried deep in the dna of this nation's soul lie as flame that was lit over 200 years ago, each of us carries with us. each one of us has the capacity, the responsibility, if we can screw up the courage, to ensure it's not extinguished. it's a thousand the things that make us different. the bottom line was, i think john believed in us. i think he believed in the american people. not just all of the pr

who was john mccain? john was a man deeply in love with his country and its promise, a man optimistic that tomorrow would be better than today, and a man grateful for the chance to serve a cause greater than himself. his humor was rooted in that hopefulness, the sometimes sharp sting of his words in debate rooted in his passion for his pause and his love of the fight and his restlessness rooted in an impatience to get on with it, to get busy defending liberty or make a difference in the world, to help soften the burdens of millions not yet free. john was both a romantic and a cynic, as some have said, in love with and passionate about the causes he fought for, yet clear-eyed about the long odds he often faced in a world hostile to our ideals. in trying to summarize john, just reviewing a few of his titles barely capture the complexity of this man. naval aviator, p.o.w., captain, congressmanman, senator, chairman of the commerce committee, chairman of the armed services committee, presidential nominee of h

john mccain understood that. it's not good enough to be smart and committed to your positions on public policy. it's not good enough just to be there for votes and for debates. that's obviously critical, but character still matters, and john mccain was living proof of that. i remember one occasion where we had, he and i had an acrimonious exchange in the senate elevators just a couple of seconds when the elevator went from the basement to the second floor. john was very heated. i was taken by surprise at how heated he was. yet as we've heard so many times over the past several days, john mccain never let a public policy disagreement impact personal relationships with his colleagues. a couple of hours later we were back on the senate floor, and i wanted to continue the argument, and i started to approach him on the floor to continue the argument. i guess i wanted to get the last word, which might be a mistake with john mccain. but as i got close to him, john mccain lifted up his arms and reached out to me, embrace
