Surpassing forgiveness. i think one of the reasons that this moment feels so grounding for all of our fellow americans is that john at the end of his life came to symbolize so much because of the way he lived his life, because of the way he practiced his politics, because of his abiding belief in the fundamental american values, has given us all a pause to reflect on being better at that in the practice of all of the rest of our lives. and it does stand in shocking contrast to the presidents beh...

Understand. not to build his legacy. he wanted america, remind them to understand. i think johns legacy is going to continue to inspire and challenge generations of leaders as they step forward. john mccains impact on america is not over. its not hyperbole. its not over. i dont think its even close. cindy, john owed so much of what he was to you. you were his ballast. when i was with you both, i could just see how he looked at you. jill is the one who we were in hawaii and he first met you there...

Patch up relations between vietnam and the united states that john led is, i think, a shining example of what he was capable of and what he believed all of us needed to be capable of. >> corey, how are you going to personally remember him? >> so i can hear him, so i started crying in a couple of the early interviews talking about senator mccains legacy, and i could hear in the back of my head him scoffing and telling me i was costing him votes by doing that. i will remember the way he shone with...

He couldnt see them with his own eyes, but he made them happen. >> so far he is getting the last word. were about one minute before the motorcade arrives at the airport. again, i know that looks like air force one, but it is not technically air force one because the president will not be on that plane. regardless, that military jet will bring john mccain from arizona for the very last time back to washington, d.c., landing at joint base andrews and then heading to the capitol where his body will...

Senate floor, what was he fighti fighting to do? he was fighting to restore what we call regular order. to start to treat one another again like we used to. the senate was never perfect, john. you know that. we were there a long time together. but i watched teddy kennedy and james east manafoman fight like and then have lunch together in the senate dining room. john wanted to see, quote, regular order writ large, get to know one another. you know, john and i were both amused, and i think lindsey...

Ultimately reassuring that this man believed that so strongly. his capacity that we truly are the worlds last best hope, that were the beacon to the world, that there are principles and ideals greater than ourselves worth suffering, sacrificing for, and if necessary, worth dying for. americans saw how he lived his life that way, and they knew the truth of what he was saying. i just think he gave americans confidence. john was a hero. his character, courage, honor, integrity. but i think the thin...

The members of the public, but they wanted an opportunity for people to express twha they felt about john mccain, and then the family also extended 1,000 tickets for members of the public to be a part of the service that we just all watched. so it was not only family, friends, and dignitaries. the doors had been opened to the constituents of john mccain and the larger community in which the mccain family has been so much a part. i have mentioned it before. when they first had their children, joh...

But in my view, john didnt believe that americas 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 didnt 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. a good community is built by thousands of small a...

Thinking about this day. this service concludes for john mccain with the words of the senior pastor garcia quoting from meghan mccain, saying, today the warrior enters his true and eternal life. with me here with some closing thoughts, john weaver, who worked so closely with john mccain in politics and life, friend and advisor, and presidential historian michael beschloss. john, all of these tributes, joe biden, larry fitzgerald, so perfectly in tune with the man that you loved. >> yes, they exe...

Mueller decide that it is imperative, that he must get donald trump in front of a grand jury and get questions answered? if it is imperative where its worthwhile to delay the investigation, have it take additional months and maybe lose in court because we dont know what the supreme court would say on this matter. thats where were going. and thats why, although theres a lot of this is that is comical and stupid and the very end something is happening and bob mueller is not make in a frivolous way...
