Anything. it was unflagging and ultimately reassuring. this man believed that so strongly. his capacity that we truly are the worlds last best hope, the beacon to the world. there are principles and ideals more than ourselves worth sacrificing for and if necessary, 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. i think it is under stated w...

Republican, but somebody who understands intuitively the essence of the mccain rebellious streak. >> yeah. >> what did you take as you sat in that church and listened to the ceremony? >> it was a beautiful service. the juxtaposition of john mccain, an american hero, a man destined for the history books for decades and decades, something we want our doukids t imlate. senator garcia told of hope. it was a special event, a painful event. you saw the wide diversity of the people from across the stat...

Made john a giant among all of us. in my view, john didnt believe that americas future and faith rested on heroes. we used to talk about, 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 each of us has a duty to defend, integrity, dignity and birthright of every child. he carried it. good communities are built by thousands o...

Of staff to john mccain, saying, remember his voice, remember his vision. that is who we are as americans. we can be better than this. its an implicit rebuke to the way politics exist right now. its an implicit rebuke of the united states who will not be attending these services and will be leaving for another one of his raucous political rallies tonight. >> each one of them getting up and talking about the differences they had with senator mccain and making a point that this, that was the point...

They look at him as if john came from another age, that he lived by a different code, an ancient, antiquated code where honor, courage, character, integrity, duty didnt matter, because that was obvious how john lived his life. the truth is, johns code was ageless, is ageless. >> welcome back to "hardball." that, of course, former vice president joe biden. he was speaking this morning about the life, legacy, and character of senator john mccain, during memorial service in mccains home state of ar...

For our dignity and respect we showed to one another, we received an award for civility in public life. theres a college allegheny county puts out this award every year for bipartisanship. john and i looked at each and said what the hell is going on here. no, not a joke. i said to senator flake, thats how its supposed to be. we get an award? im serious. think about this. getting an award for your civility. getting an award for bipartisanship. classic john, allegheny college of hundreds of people...

Democratic side and sit next to me. im not joking. wed sit there and talk to each other. i can remember the day when i came out to see john, we were r r reminiscing around it. it was 96, about to go to the caucus. we both went into our caucus and co-incidentally, we were approached by our caucus leaders with the same thing. joe, it doesnt look good, you sitting next to john all the time. i swear to god. same thing was said to john in your caucus.

Form, in whatever country. he always loved basic values, fairness, honesty, dignity, respect, giving hate no safe harbor, leaving no one behind and understanding americans were part of something much bigger than ourselves. with john, it was a value set that was neither selfish nor self-serving. john understood that america was first and foremost, an idea. audacious and risky, organized around not tribe but ideals. think of how he approached every issue. the ideals that americans rallied around f...

Prepared you. sounds corny. we hold these truths self-evident, but all men are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain rights. to john, those words had meaning. as they have for every great patriot whos ever served this country. we both loved the senate, proudest years of my life were being a united states senator. i was honored to be a united states senator. we both lamented, watching it change. during the long debates in the 80s and 90s, i would go sit next to john, next to his se...
