Mike emanuel life on capitol hill as well as on the president ial trail. Hi, mike. John mccain was certainly quite serious about major issues affect in this country from our military to the nations veterans and Immigration Reform. Having a playful personality. New hampshire republican senator kellya out spoke about the john mccain she knew. I remember him first of all what a tremendous loss for his family, but for the entire nation. I remember john for his courage, his tenacity and his wonderful sense of humor. He was tough as nails come incredibly bright and also just always cracking a joke, always a smile. Trick the lawmaker representing arizona took the emotional and difficult issue of comprehensive Immigration Reform that one of the democrats from the socalled gang of eight talks five years ago spoke about mccains passion as they wrestled with addressing immigration. There would be that time when he would blow his top and get that steely look in his eye in the think to yourself, i dont want to be around this may be fire pilot. And then he would calm down the next thing we know were moving into an area of agreement. He was widely respected that he knew what the goal was. The goal was to make it a better nation. Many are praising john mccain for putting the nation about his own Political Party but lets be real here, he was also not afraid to fight with the other side of the aisle. Could make fun of himself. There were many times that a legislative battle and we knew we were not going to win this and we were going against the odds of the establishment and others. He didnt care and he would never give up. Thinking is expected to lie in the United States capital later this week as both washington and the nation prepared to say farewell to an american hero. Mike emanuel in the rotunda. Developing now possibly named after senator mccain if Chuck Schumer gets his way. Thank you very much. Kristin is a lot more. For more, lets bring in california congressman tom mcclintock. Thank you for being with us today. Everybody seems to have a story, their own story about senator john mccain. What is yours . Ill remember him most fondly. He was added best as a fierce deficit hawk. He passionately believed in our nations defense, but he also understood that you cannot provide for the common defense of the campaign for it in the countryside to encrypt themselves arent around very long. He took strong stands, for example, he was a big supporter of the brack process, the process to consolidate in the military bases because he wouldnt waste any division of the government. He devoted much of his career to promoting. A lighter take on president transfers onto senator mccains passing. Hes been a longtime critic of President Trump and President Trump in response put out a statement on twitter in which he sent out his deepest sympathies in respect to the family of senator mccain. He said nothing about the man himself. Is that enough . The bitter rivalry between mccain and trump found its roots in the fact that temperamentally they are very similar. They feel very passionate about things. And sometimes that passion drifted over into personality. They were rather it tame compared to the things that george w. Bush and his supporters said about mccain in the 2000 race. A lot of that is political. Congressman, President Trumps remarks that senator mccain was perhaps not really a war hero. I was one of the first great big controversies in the 2016 campaign and it really shaped a lot of the race. In terms of style, two very different types of politicians, right . He said the movie and finger having writ moves on. No of the piety nor tears can call allday tuzla showed a word of it appeared both titles are behind us. John mccains battles are behind him. Which you have is a legacy in our country. Now looking ahead, senator mccain has been called the conscience of the senate. One of the senate great moral accomplices. He was going fill that void that is senator mccain left this earth . I dont think any Single Person is able to fill the void. But we have left are the lessons that he taught us and i think that all of us heeding those lessons can make the process better. A cut so many lessons, but what is one that sticks with the outcome of the greatest blessing of take away from his life and legacy. The fact that he never gave up in in that way he was very much churchillian and did not allow a party to determine how he viewed right and wrong. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. Tranter from the other side of the aisle, dan kildee. Good to see you as always. Appreciate it. It is interesting in washington especially these days to find somebody who is so uniting and receiving universal praise as john mccain has. Why . Well, we were all drawn to. The entire senate and the entire house in the one person i wanted to make sure i could meet and talk to with senator mccain. Its because of that. This is a guy who i did not always agree with but had this sort of calm and centered character that you look for in a person who can really be a leader. The one thing he always was able to do sometimes to the chagrin of many around him was bring us back to the point. Bring us back to the point of the conversation whether its a policy question or something we were debating on the budget can get away from the personal sort of big days and get back to policy consideration. The way he conducted himself the way he lived his life. The character encoding country above his old political games by example after example. Yet no one can give examples of bad other than john mccain. Where have we gone wrong . Where has politics gone wrong. I think its become far too personal, far too focused on the peripheral issues in the game that got you. Democrats and republicans all but into this all the time. We overreact to things the president says good john mccain was always able to get his recentered. Maybe there is the way we could take this moment to commit to one another to try to live the lessons he left us with, to remember that moment during the campaign where he corrected a critic of president obama and said he was a good man that he had differences with her on the night of the election where rather than trying to console himself he actually called attention to the moment in history that was occurring that president obama was elected and what that meant to this country. We all should take a lesson from that. Leland we all should. The big question is will we. Theres a lot of reason for hope unless you got one. Maybe this is just an opportunity for us to ask ourselves the question. In a way we always have senator mccain to correct us when we went too far. Leland is there anybody, namely pinpoint do now that is the pinnacle of service in a country before itself. I think unfortunately there are so many that dont have the same profile that senator mccain has. You and i talked in the past. More instances of bipartisanship taking place that dont get much attention. Maybe we need to show it a little bit more and not to falter differences, but celebrate what we actually share. Senator mccain celebrated what he thought was first, which was service to country and putting americas interests ahead of his own. Good thoughts as always. Thank you very much. John mccains legacy extends well beyond the halls of congress. He was not only a political powerhouse but perhaps most importantly of featurette who service and sacrifice made him a total american hero. Joining us now for more insight as john mccain military legacy. Senior strategic analyst general jack keane. I know youve had the opportunity to speak with your friend over the last few months in his final battle with brain cancer. Anything that i could share with us from this conversation . The ending was just like johns life. I mean, he didnt buy them asleep, heart attack or fault on the streets. Probably the way most people would like to go. He was in a battle for his life every single day given the pain, torturous pain. In doing a little bit better without disease than most but because of that fighting spirit. When i think of senator mccain, it is the brass of Public Service that is so extraordinary. Two decades of military service, for decades of Public Service as a congressman and senator. But if the character of it that is so defining john mccain. Is more than a career. Its more than a profession. The same kind of attributes to it. A special calling burchfields energy and a sense of energy. He also had incredible devotion to our country, to the american people, to the ideals of america. Finally, this persistent determination and discipline he had. Just to get things done no matter what the obstacles. That is really quite special for me dealing with the senator. Tranter in terms of his military legacy, he had a hand in so many conflicts from vietnam to iraq to what we are dealing with right now in russia. Is it even possible to pick one. The separation between myself and him and making the foreignpolicy and National Security is the antidaylight. People sometimes try to put them in a box with a warmonger in a war hawk. He was not bad. What he was promoting stability, security and prosperity. And then you have distorted viewpoint, quite churchillian and a sense. You should probably win it. And a strategy to win the war. Its not coming up with the proper strategy to fix it. He constantly pushed people in afghanistan and push people in iraq. Where is the right strategy . He did note the right strategy was. He did the wrong thing when he saw it. He went to is that pain by syria. Hes dealt with two administrations, particularly the Obama Administration because they had it the longest they were not able to get their arms around the bend exercise the political moral will of American Leadership and we still struggle with that. What are my favorite things is how he liked to spend his fourth of july in afghanistan or iraq with the troops. How much does senator mccain being tormented women in uniform . He is adored, but loved it and also i didnt travel with john mccain, but i was in the shadow of him in Eastern Europe and the middle east in the far east. Whether reaction you got from people, particularly people facing pressure in the baltics in Eastern Europe and the middle east elements of the far east. You have a clarion call to the, that he identified with that sacrifice, without suffering of second place and he was always pushing america to do something about these problems. But all the problems in the world, but the ones in our national interest. Kristin three years ago New York Times reporter asked him what he wanted his tombstone to say and he said he wanted it to say that he served his country in that he most certainly did hear general keane, thank you for sharing your stories. I know its a tough day for you as well. Good to talk to you. The land. Leland President Trump has been remembering senator mccain. He treated out his condolences. The flag at the white house now at half staff. To the white house for reaction in a couple minutes. A fox news alert as pope francis departing ireland. He was there for a brief visit. The pope visited ireland to attend the world meeting of families. You can see the live picture from the airport in dublin as the pope says goodbye appeared this is not simply a visit by the pope to say hello. The Sexual Abuse Scandal continues to rock the catholic church. Pope francis condemned the action taken by priests involved in a scandal and apologize for lack of action on the part of the church to intervene. They are to the pope on word from dublin. Back now as we continue to remember senator john mccain. They came in last night. Live on the white house as we mentioned the flag they are flying at half staff. It is no secret that john mccain really saw eye to eye them are critics of each other all the way to the end. The white house lowered its flags. The finisher of their condolences with resident trump tweeting my deepest sympathies in respect go to the family of senator john mccain. Our hearts and prayers are with you. First lady melania trumpeted our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to the mccain family. Thank you for your service to the nation. The president was once again back at it with his attorney general by retweeting several of his jabs at Jeff Sessions earlier this week including tweeting sessions for the statement he released this week. The department of justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. This is whatever one wants. The pritchett on the other side including the illegal surveillance of the trump campaign, russian collusion by dems. You can do it. The country is waiting. The president s latest wave of criticism is once again stoking speculation that his days could be numbered. On meet the press, jeff flake said byron sessions would still raise a lot of concerns for folks on capitol hill. There may be a few isolated voices saying that the president not to fire now. As a body we are saying please dont. The concern is the domino to fall than what happens with Rod Rosenstein and bob mueller. Irene Jeff Sessions would concern us all that that is the first domino. For the past year and half the president has received enormous blowback from republican anytime he suggested the floated the idea he could be considering friend Jeff Sessions as attorney general. Republican lawmakers suggested he may not be the case anymore. They could be open to a new attorney general, meaning this rivalry between the president and the ag that has gone very public this last week could be going on for another few months. Garrett penny at the white house. More from the president if we get it here on this sunday. Garrett, thank you. Kristin senator mccains former running mate sarah palin is remembering him saying today we lost an american original. Senator john mccain was a maverick and a fighter, never afraid to stand for his release.

Bush will be speaking at his funeral where he was asked to. The person that defeated him. Also barack obama. That says all we need to know about john mccain. His opponent love, admire and respect.

And the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible.

A while ago i had the honor of calling senator barack obama to congratulate him. Please. To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love. In a contest as long and difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance. I urge all americans to support me to join me and not just congratulating him, but offering our next president of goodwill and earnest effort to find ways to come together, to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences, whatever our differences. We are fellow americans. And please believe me when i say , no association has ever meant more to me than not. Leland that was senator mccain stressing unity essentially as he conceded the president ial election in 2008. Kristin here to discuss is a bit more of senator mccains legacy is fort oconnell, and serving as director of outreach for the 2008 president ial campaign. Ford, thank you for being with us. Is truly an honor. When we came up short in 2008 it was a pleasure to work for john and i learned a lot of valuable things. He really was a true Public Servant and a good man. Kristin was that like being in the trenches of a campaign with someone like mccain . When he was the campaign that takes years off your life. When you win one it takes two years off your life. Everything we stood for was embodied in the Campaign Slogan country first. A lot of times it wasnt specifically about republicans or democrats or insult for obama. It was about america in the direction of the country. Sometimes he was stubborn and ornery but that was john driving the ship. Leland in a town of adjectives so often, you almost dont need them fo
