what we are seeing is this outpouring of love and admiration from lawmakers on capitol hill and leaders from around the country and around the world. lawmakers on both sides the aisle are expressing respect and dedication for a congressman in congress. president trump paying brief condolences on twitter writing the following. trump's relationship with mccain over the past few years has been complicated and at times contentious and mccain was never afraid to criticize the trump administration when he thought that administration was pursuing policies that contradicted what he had spent years fighting for. but today is a day to put partisan differences aside and other administration officials are also speaking out in favor of john mccain. first lady melania trump wrote on twitter separately from her husband, our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to the

mccain family. thank you, senator mccain, for your service to the nation. vice president mike pence also writing out with the following statement. now former presidents and former political rivals are honoring the man they have known for years and praising his military service and his willingness to set aside politics when he felt it necessary to get something done. former president barack obama, mccain's rival in 2008 writing few of us have been tested the way john once was or required to show the kind of courage that he did, but all of us can aspire to the courage to put the greater good above our own. the clinton's, weighing in. hillary clinton, obviously, knew

senator mccain when she was senator of new york and secretary of state in the obama administration and said the following. former president george w. bush, also a onetime rival of mccain when they ran against each other in the 2005 gop primary said this about a man who became his friend. now we are learning that mccain had made plans for his funeral. he had requested eulogies from bush and obama but requested that trump not attend. what we are seeing is an entire nation mourning the loss of a political giant and an american hero. >> sarah westwood, thank you. cnn has just learned that senator john mccain will lie in state in the u.s. capital this

week. this is from a republican member with knowledge and a service at the national cathedral and a private service in annapolis. >> joe johns is with us now. i know you have people who want to share their thoughts on john mccain today. >> reporter: that's true. a lot of people in washington have known quite a while this day would come and while there is not shock, there is certainly a lot of sadness for people in washington who knew senator mccain over the years as i did. it's really difficult to sum him up or do him justice even in our wall-to-wall coverage, the 24-hour news cycle, or a public statement. god forbid, a tweet, only so much you can do because he had so many different lives over 81 years. . there is the traditional low lowering of flags here and

around the country which means nor for senator mccain because of his military service and his years in the hanoi hilton. the flag symbolism does help to define him, that code of honor i think runs in a straight line from vietnam and how he handled being a celebrated p.o.w. to capitol hill. even to the campaign trail since a duty to the country that was unairing. we all saw it, which is why the democratic minority leader chuck schumer suggested that the russell senate office building on capitol hill, been there for years and years, named after a democrat, by the way, should be named after the republican senator mccain. now this was a man who wasn't perfect. he had a temper that was almost the stuff of legend but he also had a great sense of comic timing that brought him a lot of friends, including senator joe lieberman of connecticut. these two men were so close that in 2008 when mccain was the

nominee for the republican party, he gave serious consideration to naming loberman his running mate even though lieberman was not a republican. now, lieberman came out with a statement and it said, in part, although it was clear that john mccain's life was ending, his death hurts. america ma lost one of the greatest patriots in and public servants in our history and i've lost a dear friend. he went on to say he is lucky to know him and work with him, comfort by the great members of their times together. so washington, d.c. is reeling over this and it is good to know that the senator will be lying in repose at the capital. >> there is pain. joe johns, thank you so much for that. >> he is going always be remembered as a political maverick, of course. as he said, he spoke his mind, he never hesitated to reach across the aisle. a political strategist has some thoughts as to how mccain

inspired his political career. we are going to talk to him. stay close. >> politics is a bean bag. it's a tough business. it was a tough race. it was a tough campaign and i enjoyed enormously feeling sorry for myself for about two weeks. feeling sorry for yourself is a lot of fun but then he put it behind me and i moved on. you've got to. the people of arizona don't expect me to hold a grudge for something that happened four or five years ago and i don't hold a grudge and i move forward and i admire this president and i want to help him and we have a very big agenda for this country and i want to assist him in carrying out that agenda. alright, i brought in new max protein ...to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't. i'll take that.

♪ i've had the good fortune to spend 60 years in service for this wondrous land. it's not been perfect service to be sure and there were probably times when the country might have been benefited a little less of my help. but i tried to deserve the privilege as best i can and i've been repaid a thousand times over with adventures, with good company, with the satisfaction of serving something more important than myself, of being

a bit player in the extraordinary story of america, and i am so grateful. what a privilege it is to serve this big boisterous brawling and daring and driving and beautiful and brave magnificent country. with all of our flaws, all our mistakes, with all of the frailty of human nature as much on displaytues and rancors and anger of or politics, we are blessed. >> you can hear just how much he means every word he says as he talks there about -- >> you know he does. >> he died yesterday at the age of 81. you know from an aggressive form of brain cancer he had been fighting. we just learned that he will lie in state at the u.s. capitol this year. >> he was renowned to trying to

unite both sides of the aisle. if you look on social media today, you'll see people from the left and right and in between all sending their condolences to the mccain family. >> nathan sprawl from 1999 to 2002 is with us now. >> thank you for joining u nathan. everyone knows senator mccain, knows of him, but how did it all begin? his political career, sometimes we forget he got elected in your home district, right? >> he did. i think one of the things that is often forgotten, especially on a day like this when we think of all the big accomplishments and the legacy of senator mccain, is how close that first election for him really was. it was 1982. it was my district where i grew up. i was 9 or 10 and i remember listening to my parents sprain why they made the decision to vote for john mccain and it was really his life story, not just a p.o.w. but life and service at

that point but by moving into arizona when he did he got into the race late and other three well-known candidates and won the race by less than 6%. i looked it up yesterday. 2800 votes and think how different the history would be if those votes had been a little bit different. >> that is something to think about. i know that you said that he -- you saw him in d.c. on a senior class trip and he was the only one of your delegation that came out and talked to you. what did he say? what did he do that stayed with you? >> the thing about john mccain all of the things that have been said is so true that you have had on the show. he has a legacy that is really international on the world stage for sure. but one of the things i think people really miss is just his work ethic and the fact that no matter who he was or where he was, he was always willing to talk to whoever the person was that wanted to engage him in

that conversation. when we went back for our senior class trip he spent almost a half hour bus and he talked to each one of us and talked to the fact you will at this time members who were there. he was the united states senator in 1990 who at that point was moving rapidly up the national stage and began to be noticed and yet he still spent almost half an hour with a group of high school seniors and i think speaks of who he was as a person and making sure that his constituents knew that he cared about each one of them. >> i'm not surprised to hear you say that. it fits with every image i have of him. tell us about the 2000 presidential race. because that was the time when the arizona governor endorsed bush over mccain. what was going on? >> it was awkward. so jane hall had endorsed george w. bush. my boss at the time was good friends with jane hall and good friends with john mccain as well but it created a very awkward situation within the rank and

file of the party as to how to handle that type of a situation. so there was actually one of the funner stories was we decided assess the stated party we were going to do a debate. our debate was being scheduled before the first debate in new hampshire so there was all sorts of back and forth between bush and mccain as to whether or not they even were going to attend our debate. ultimately, then governor bush and eventually president bush decided he wasn't going to come to the first debate. your network really bailed us out because you helped us schedule a second debate so we were able to get the first debate on the tv that senator mccain came to and ten days later, senator marv said he was going to bridge the new hampshire voters how important they were to him so we literally put a television at the podium for the second debate where senator mccain was supposed to be in and governor bush came to that debate. represented in person was a television sell with john mccain on it while he was in new hampshire letting the new hampshire voters know and apparently they appreciated it because as we know they did vote

for him overwhelmingly in that primary. >> yes, they did. >> thank you so much. we appreciate you being with us, nath nathan, sharing those memories and giving us insight into an avenue we didn't know about before. >> thank you, nathan. >> it was an honor. thank you. >> thank you. we have more on the incredible life and legacy of senator john mccain in a moment. we want to take you to ireland where the pope is addressing decades of sexual abuse allegations. now saying the victims were, quote, left scarred by their abusers. darlin'. can this much love be cleaned by a little bit of dawn ultra? oh yeah one bottle has the grease cleaning power of three bottles of this other liquid. a drop of dawn and grease is gone.

the man you see there is having quite an impact, not just here in the united states, but around the world, as people learn of his death. the passing, of course, of senator john mccain. he was known as a war hero. he was known as a foreign policy hawk. he has gained respect from so many people and we are hearing from them today. >> we are. he flew combat assignments during the vietnam war and he was shot down and he spent more than five terrible years in a hanoi prison of war camp. joining us is diplomatic international correspondent nic robertson. what are people around the world saying? >> thst things we are hearing today and the tributes thick and fast speaking on his honor and his dignity and speaking about what he had done for their countries, strong advocate for afghanistan. we have heard from the afghan president saying he was a friend of the afghan people and heard from the prime minister and leaders from another country

both of who their cause senator mccain supported. we have heard from the lithuania is and estonias and so many different countries. i think one of the interesting themes that seems to emerge is what amounts to a reflection of senator mccain's, repudiation of some of president trump's recent positions. and that is kind of reflected in what we are hearing. from the british prime minister tere teresa may says. from the german foreign minister, again, this very clear reference to what president trump continues to call germany out about, its payments toward nato, the transatlantic

alliance. again listen to this. thinry veiled criticism it seems that president trump and his tribute to senator mccain. the prime minister of kosovo, again a country or rather a province that senator mccain supported at a troubled time. also hearing from the new prime minister scott morrison in australia. prime minister morrison's words, we can reflect there for a moment on the testy relationship that president trump has had

with his predecessor malcolm turnbull. i think here is a reflection what we are hearing from world leaders that reflects for a positively on senator mccain and perhaps less so on president trump. >> somebody that we ask you about often is vladimir putin and we know that mccain was a fierce critic of his. have we heard anything from him today? >> we have yet to get anything, that i've seen at least yet, from vladimir putin. i think one can expect something at some point, but you wouldn't anticipate that the russian leader would be rushing out to add words to those that have been so high in their tribute and praise of senator mccain at this time. >> nic robertson, as always, we appreciate the i sights and words from foreign leaders. thank you. >> thank you. the pope is begging the

visit there. >> the pope made those comments a short time ago in dublin as he continues to address the abuse scandals that have plagued the church. international correspondent phil black is live in dublin for us today, phil? >> reporter: good morning. as the pope has been to a place of holy pilgrimage for many catholics this morning, a shrine that marks the location of an ap higs of the mother of christ. he prayed for victims of sexual abuse and other cruelties within the church and begged lord for forgiveness and talked about sins as being an open wound. he's right, they are, that's how many in the country feel. catholics still practice and loyal to the church and many people across ireland to have turned their back on the pope and the church as well. what they want to hear from him

is not more apologies, it is in their word concrete actions and policies that will prevent more children from being abused and ensure that those who have abused and those who protected abusers will be held accountable transparently and punished in some way. so far they say what they heard from the pope on this visit does not mean that expectation. later today, in a short time in fact, he will be appearing here in phoenix park in dublin saying mass with hundreds of thousands of people, all of them listening very intently to his homily, his sermon in the hope that here finally just before he leaves ireland, he will say something truly meaningful and substantial that advances this issue and shows he and the church will deal with it in the near future. back to you. >> phil, is there any indication what will happen if he does not do that?

>> reporter: well, you can only imagine, christi, there will be enormous disappointment. many have said they will simply judge his visit here to have been a failure, to have been pointless if you like. some may hold some hope that he will have treated this visit as something of a research mission by coming here meeting members of the church specifically spending time with victims of abuse. and it may inspire him to go back to rome, back to the vatican and there move forward and do something more substantial because the nature of the church as the people here know, is that any sort of -- any sort of attempt to change a reform, well it moves very slowly. but there is no doubt that the numbers of people we're seeing here for example today, although hundreds of thousands will be much lower than the huge crowds, million plus that came to see john paul ii back in 1979, what it means is that the pope doesn't deal with the issue, the erosion of faith in the church will only continue here in ireland. >> all right, phil black in

dublin for us. thank you so much. and of course, we are really focused on john mccain and his family today. this man, victorious, comical, he ran the gamut, senator john mccain. what a legacy he is leaving and we're thinking of his family today. >> we want to leave you with a look at memorable movements from the maverick. >> to lead health and human services department. >> comment on mr. trump's comments, i have not and will not. >> why not, he's the president-elect and you're a senior member?

>> because that's my choice. >> i can't trust obama. he's an arab. he's not -- no, ma'am, no ma'am. he's a decent family man citizen that i just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that's what this campaign is all about. he's not. thank you. >> i'm very pleased and very privileged to introduce to you sarah palin of the great state of alaska. you know, you're going to have to shut up or i'm going to have you arrested. if we can't get the capitol hill police in here immediately -- get out of here you low life scum. you know how people call me the maveri maverick? >> yeah. >> well, i thought i might try a strategy called the reverse

maverick. that's where i do whatever anybody tells me. i don't ask questions, i just go with the flow. if that doesn't work, i go to the double maverick. that's where i go total lly besk or freak everybody out. feel the clarity of non-drowsy claritin and relief from symptoms caused by over 200 allergens. like those from buddy. because stuffed animals are clearly no substitute for real ones. feel the clarity. and live claritin clear.
