>> there is something that you want to feel america is a great country honestly. john mccain is great in his way and aretha franklin and her, we can write a wonderful book about these two. such different backgrounds and achievements. it is very few nations in the world that could have these two things going on. >> john mccain having scripted and issue the invitations themselves personally for joe biden who flew out to sedona to have a long two-hour chat they talked about the eulogy they delivere...

Border. >> why doesnt he show his birth certificate? >> and the eulogy for john mccain. >> the intolerance for abuse of power. >> "all in" starts now. >> good evening from new york. im chris hayes. the most incendiary claim was that there is dirt exposing the president to blackmail. it turns out there was a whole vault full of dirt on donald j. trump. not in russia. in the u.s. we dont know all the contents, we dont know who has seen them or who could be holding it as leverage over the president...

Not unusual. and thats why it so struck me yesterday when we were listening to joe biden give that eulogy out in arizona. he was talking about the in the mid-1990s. he said john and i used to sometimes sit together on the floor, id go over near him or him near me and we would listen to the debates. there was one day when the leader of his caucus went to him and the leaders of my caucus came to me and said no more of this, it doesnt look good. we dont want you sitting together. youre not of the s...

With the bob mueller people, what will that foretell about the presidents future? tal, great to have you on. thank you. >> thank you. later today, the late senator john mccain will make the flight from arizona to washington one last time. first, memorial services at the church in phoenix with former vice president biden delivering the eulogy. yesterday, lines snaked around the streets to pay respects on what would have been mccains 82nd birthday. more from nick watt from phoenix. >> reporter: ...

For his leadership. i just want to mention about this ceremony, im having flashbacks to arlen specters funeral in 2012 when joe biden gave the eulogy. we wheeled specter out at the end of the service to "my way" and the two were similar in ways that they could infuriate members of their own party, both parties, and they have these love/hate relationships with their own party. but theres a lot more love than anger with both of them. but it just reminds me so much of that experience in october of ...

I can testify to the interview in 30 years. its going to be an important eulogy on saturday when your former boss, the former president of the united states, barack obama, is at the national cathedral. >> yeah. what strikes me about this is senator mccain didnt orchestrate a tib ute to himself. he orchestrated a civic communion where we took it to revisit principles of who we are as a country, quwhat politics should be about. the fact president obama is speaking and president bush is speaking, t...

The people who knew him so well. it was, essentially, from my point of view, when they took him off the pedestal and told us who john mccain was, all his strengths and weaknesses. in the political world, most of the conversation will be about joe biden. that was a remarkable eulogy on his part. many in politics are wondering, is joe biden the right person? is he too old to be president? can he take it and handle it? this is the biggest speech hes probably going to make for at least the next year...

>> reporter: arizonas final farewell to her favorite adopted son. a eulogy from a political foe and personal friend. >> my name is joe biden. im a democrat. and i loved john mccain. >> reporter: mccain in death keeping bipartisanship alive. >> thats who john was. he could not stand the abuse of power. wherever he saw it, in whatever form, in whatever country. always about basic values, john, fairness, honesty, dignity, respect. giving hate no safe harbor. leaving no one behind.

Friends taking this trip that john mccain obviously took so many times in life as he flew to washington, d.c., to serve his state, his adopted state of arizona. the send off includes 300 arizona air national guardsmen standing in formation to bid farewell from arizona. next, it will be the turn of the country at large to mourn john mccain. he is expected to land at about 7:30 p.m. tonight at joint base andrews outside washington. i expect it will be later than that as the funeral service this mo...

Flown to joint base andrew. joining me with more, cnns nick watt, nick, good morning. >> good morning, erica. at the service we expect readings from two of senator john mccains adopted children, andrew and digit and as you mentioned, larry fitzgerald from the arizona cardinals will deliver a eulogy, the two men were friends and senator mccain was a fan of the team. apparently fitzgerald visited north vietnam to see the site where john mccain was shot down back in 1967. of course joe biden also d...
