saw policies by president trump wanting to get out of afghanistan and syria. h was there in europe at n.a.t.o. and all of these countries' conferences around the world to say that the u.s. is still a reliable partner, a reliable ally and that u.s. leadership is indispensable. that why i think you see so many tributes coming in around the world. i don't know who will carry that torch. you see leaders like lindsey graham in the senate, marco rubio and he has mentored a whole generation of congressmen who might take up the mantel. his leadership will be felt for a long time to come. >> we have heard a lot of people call him their mentor. we appreciate it. ♪ now, 8:00 eastern, 5:00 in the afternoon in arizona, the home state of senator john

mccain. you are live in the cnn news room. thank you for being with us tonight as we remember a senator and national symbol of heroism and integrity. flags are flying at half staff to honor john mccain who died at the age of 81. in his 60 years of service mccain held many titles, fighter pilot, father, war hero and political warrior, a maverick who had a unique voice and knew how to use it. >> i stood in this place and addressed this president. i have been addressed when i sat in the chair. that is the closest i will ever be to a presidency. it's an honor we are almost indifferent to. in truth, presiding over the

senate can be a nuisance, a bit of ceremonial bore. i stand here today looking a little worse for wear, i'm sure. i have a refreshed appreciation for the protocols and customs of this body and for the other 99 privileged souls who have been elected to this senate. >> one of the men mccain served with was fellow republican senator lindsey graham. the two were the closest friends for two decades. >> the bottom line is, folks, that the people that you serve with in jail will tell you the same thing in prison that i will tell you. he is loyal to his friends. he loves his country and if he has to stand up for his country so be it. he would die for this country. i love him to death. >> mccain died nine years to the day after another close colleague lost his battle with

the same disease. democratic senator ted kennedy had brain cancer and after his death mccain said the place wouldn't be the same without him. president obama and george w. bush will deliver eulogies. one person who won't be there, president trump. the two men had a contenchtuoti relationship. president trump rejected plans for a white house statement praising mccain. i want to bring in white house reporter for the "washington post" joining us by phone. what are you learning? >> what i'm learning tonight is that the white house has prepared a draft statement labelling john mccain a hero. instead of releasing the statement nixed it and said he

preferred to tweet instead. he tweeted condolences to the family without giving any of the compliments that the statement was going to give john mccain. this caused some ripples in the white house. you have seen in the past 24 hours a number of senior officials, secretary of state, national security adviser, vice president, others have put up statements calling john mccain an american hero and praising his service. we have not seen that from the president. when given the opportunity to release an official statement from the white house the president said he did not want to do that. >> we are putting up the president's statement that he tweeted out. my deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of senator john mccain. our hearts and prayers are with you. president trump was told he wasn't invited to the funeral. for those who don't know, explain the root of this public feud between the two. >> so there is deep animosity

between the two men. back in 2015 president trump said that john mccain in his estimation was not a war hero. he said he preferred his heroes to not be captured and john mccain was captured. later on john mccain and the president feuded in 2016 over a gold star family. once he came into office the trump administration, mccain criticized the administration over russia and the president's press conference in helsinki with vladimir putin m. he has been critical of the news media. the president did not see john mccain as a friend.

he was deeply frustrated with john mccain voted no on refuting the affordable care act. after that the president wanted john mccain to resign. he said he is not in washington. the two men have not had any sort of meaningful interaction. john mccain has agreed with the president on a number of fronts. he voted for gorsuch, the tax bill, supported more defense spending. when the president was in fort drum last week to talk about the defense bill the president did not mention john mccain even though he was signing the john mccain bill. the two have a checkered relationship to say the least. one interesting part is that a

long time friend of the president told me that back in 2008 president trump actually liked john mccain and supported him in his presidential bid, said he was different and a maverick. once the president entered the arena and the two men began d u disagreeing -- >> what do we know about how john mccain viewed the state of the presidency? >> one of the allies said that he saw it as dark and he saved some of his sharpest criticism because he didn't think it was best to share publically. he was no fan of the trump presidency. he did not like the president's tendency to be kind to autocratic leaders. he did not think that trump presidency was taking the country in the right direction.

i think he made that clear in his most recent book where he said he didn't understand what motivated the president or why the president did many of the things that he did. >> thank you for sharing your reporting with us. good to have you with us this evening. we will have much more on the life and legacy of senator john mccain including his impact on u.s. foreign policy and the mark he left on the nation's capitol. my next guest slept side by side with senator mccain for nearly 18 months. hear his remarkable stories about the man he called his life long friend. stay with us. it does make you appreciate every minute of every hour of every day. we should all thank god for every minute because we are blessed. we are blessed to be on the greatest nation on earth. hey allergy muddlers.

tributes continue to pour in for the late senator john mccain especially in his home state of arizona. mccain's image gracing the front pages of newspapers all across the state today. outside his office in phoenix, flowers and candles honoring his legacy of courage and sacrifice. phoenix will host the first of three services memorializing mccain. what kind of reaction are you seeing from people there in arizona? >> reporter: you know, we are seeing a two-fold reaction, first from the general public but also from candidates who are running in races this week. there is a primary this week on tuesday. i want to get to the public first. we found this quite extraordinary. yesterday as the hearse carrying the senator's body out of the arizona ranch that he loves so much, as it wound all the way down here to phoenix. this is about 100 miles that the

hearse had to drive. this was not publicized anywhere. no one knew the route. people were watching the local news. they came out to wave at the hearse to say good bye. as the hearse pulled into the funeral home there were people who were waiting there. it was more than 100 degrees. the people were stopping by throughout the day just to say thank you to senator mccain. as far as what is happening on the campaign trail, the arizona primary is on tuesday. the democratic candidate, the front runner for democratic senate, she just announced that she will be stepping off of campaigning on wednesday and thursday so that she can spend time giving back to john mccain. both sides are stopping to say thank you to this man who surpassed politics in the state and really truly just represented arizona.

>> we know mccain planned his own funeral while he was still alive. he requested that he be eulogized by george w. bush and president obama. what can you tell us about mccain's process in planning his funeral? >> reporter: notably he specifically asked that trump not attend. this is going to be a week long remembrance of senator john mccain. you can see the area i'm standing in is the arizona capitol. the flags to my right are the state flag, u.s. flag. they are lowered. and they are lowered in honor of senator mccain. the services will begin here on wednesday. first a private ceremony will be in the rotunda here at the capitol. because the senator lived such a public life there will be six hours for the public to come here and say farewell.

on thursday morning there will be a public memorial service at a phoenix baptist church and then the senator departs for d.c. on friday the senator will lie in state at the u.s. capitol rotunda. on saturday there will be a national memorial service at the national cathedral and on sunday senator mccain will be laid to rest. it is a place where he started his public service, his governmental service. it will be his final resting place. >> thank you. senator john mccain was a highly decorated military officer. he was honored by the u.s. navy no less than 20 times including the naval aviator badge, distinguished flying cross, bronze star, purple heart. senator mccain will forever be remembered for the torture he endured as a prisoner in war in vietnam at the hanoi hilton.

the next guest slept side by side with senator mccain for nearly 18 months. the two war heroes became life long friends. here they are together in much happier times. sir, thank you for your service and sacrifice for this country. >> thank you very much. >> what went through your mind when you learned your dear friend had passed away? >> grief. of course, it was not unexpected, as we all know. the suddenness caught me completely by surprise. i just took a break from looking at the computer and then it hit. some marines do cry. i had a good cry. >> it's hard not to. he is a man who touched so many.

you were a prisoner of war along side john mccain. you had a very special bond and a unique shared experience. you shared a cell for more than a year. what was that like? >> i was there a year longer than john. of course, we knew about the family and the heritage in the navy. i knew who he was but i had never met him. we had a meeting by talking to each other blindly down the hall. he insulted me with a funny joke. we lived together for the 18 months or so and slept side by side. he is just an incredible human being, extremely smart, extremely well read. he remembered everything he ever read. we shared story after story

after story. i might add he was one hell of a courageous naval aviator and american patriot. >> we spoke to a lot of people who bring up his sense of humor. it sounds like he maintained that even while he was imprisoned. >> he was always engaged. i don't think i had been around him except perhaps at a funeral. his humor was directed at people he loved. he did a lot of that. >> you have said that john mccain is one of the people you thank for surviving your time at the hanoi hilton. what kind of support did he provide? >> he was the kind of a person who added levity to a situation. i think his ability to inspire people by his own conduct, his

sense of humor was the levity we needed in dark times. we weren't there together in the darkest of times. they were not really bright times. we have been away from home for a very long time. john's pension for conversation, he knew so much about so many things. you can engage him about just about anything in the world. he was good for moral and always up beat and quite a patriot. his knowledge of american history, he just really loved this country and its people and our history. >> i understand you and john had a long friendship after you were freed. what did that look like? >> i was speaking to one of your producers. the last moment i was with him they were separating us by date of shot down. i was going to be getting out before him.

i said something very insulting to him and teasing him. he was stunned that i said it as i was walking away. i said i will see you in the states when we get home. we both came home to naval air station jacksonville, florida. i was at the bottom of the staircase when he walked down the staircase to say hi, john. >> so casual like just another day in paradise. how do you think his time as a prisoner of war shaped him later in life and his career in public service as a lawmaker? >> i didn't have personal knowledge of john before i met him in prison. he told me so much of his young life as a mid shipman at the naval academy and how he accumulated multiple demerits, his antics, his experiences and then when he began flying i

heard many stories about -- he simply i don't think was a serious guy back in those days. he admitted it. he matured in prison as he would say frequently, he grew up in prison and he became an american totally in love with his country. i think he summed it up pretty well. from that moment on when he came home it was a different kind of john mccain, certainly the personality, intellect was all there except he had a purpose that solidified all of his many talents that he was going to be a great american. it didn't surprise me when he told me he would run for congress. of course, he spent time as senate liaison for the navy and got to know a lot of political figures. it was the ideal place for him to go. he spent a remarkable career i think pressing for human rights

all over the world, strong advocate for strong defense. he loved our military. i think they loved him, too. >> for sure. you mentioned his time in congress, six terms as a u.s. senator. he ran for president twice. you supported senator mccain during his 2008 presidential campaign. tell us why you believe he would have made a good president. >> i thought his opportunity for winning was better against governor bush at the time. i thought his possibility of winning the presidency against al gore was super outstanding. i don't think al gore in that period of time could hold a candle to john mccain with their back grounds. i also was firmly of the belief even though many consider him a hawk, i think he would not have gotten us into the mess with

iraq in the manner we were involved. i think john would have been a little more cautious on that. i think his intellect was superb. i think you have to know history to be a great leader of our country. that to me is a given. you have to know why we are who we are and how we got to be who we are. >> thank you so much. it was such a pleasure to talk to you. we appreciate you sharing your memories and your thoughts about senator john mccain. thank you for your service. >> thank you. my next guest worked for some of mccain's greatest political opponents. what it was like to run against the maverick of the senate, next live in the cnn newsroom. what it would be to curse the fate that concludes the

blessed life i've led. i prefer to give thanks to those blessings. the bell tolls for me. i knew it would. so i tried as best i could to stay a part of the main. >> tech: at safelite autoglass,

some breaking news tonight. the washington post reporting that president trump rejected a white house statement that would have praised the service and heroism of the late senator john mccain. the paper reports trump instead opted to release this brief

tweet. my deepest sympathy and respect go out to the family of senator john mccain. the president is not invited to attend the funeral last week. the senator asked presidents obama and president bush to eulogize him. i want to bring in republican strategist alice stewart. you have worked for candidates who ran against mccain in the past. what a difference between john mccain arranging for his political rivals to speak at his funeral and president trump reportedly nixing a statement praising his contributions to this country. your reaction? >> it's just a sign of respect, respect between senator mccain and former president obama and former president bush. clearly, that doesn't happen with our current president. if you look at the statement that we heard last night from former president obama it's so

touching to hear him say despite our political differences we did have an allegiance and fidelity to something much greater, something much higher, something outside of ourselves. that goes a long way. we hear the same kind of sentiments from republicans and democrats across the aisle because senator mccain was a man of courage. he was a fighter. he was someone that was steadfast and did what he thought was right. you may not have agreed with him but at the end of the day he stood by what he thought was right. this goes back to when he was suving serving as a p.o.w. the man you spoke with said he could have gotten out but he knew that wasn't the right thing to do and he wanted to stay true to his honor to the military. he did the same with his service to our country. and i am honored to have known him and have had to come across him on the political landscape. he is someone that i

tremendously respect, others do, republicans and democrats. it is very, very disturbing that we don't get the same out of this white house. it is very upsetting. >> what was mccain like as a political opponent? >> he was all that that i just said, serious, hard hitting, fierce. one of the things that stands out with me is during the 2008 presidential campaign as we were preparing for debates and i was with governor huckabee senator mccain would often come in the green room and practice his jokes and one liners he was going to do on the debate stage with us. sometimes governor huckabee would walk him back saying that is a little too harsh. there was one person who was often the subject of a lot of that. he was a funny person. the rough and tumble world of politics is a blood sport. it is often nice to have someone

like senator mccain who realizes at the end of the day you check your politics at the door and you're friends with the people you deal with. you may disagree on policy but you agree on the reason that you are there and the principle that you are fighting to serve this country. that is something if we don't get anything else out of this i hope and pray that people across this country, voters and those that are serving in office, realize that we can have civil discourse. we can disagree but let's do it with respect and dignity and honor. i hope that his legacy will teach us all that that is the way that politics should be done. >> you mentioned that he will have three different memorial services including the first one there in arizona. we have seen the hearse already leaving his property at his ranch. we were live last night as they were doing sort of a beautiful moment where they were driving

around with this procession. i understand you spoke to some of the troopers who escorted mccain's hearse. what did they tell you? >> when you were playing the video it is so compelling. there is senator mccain in there and the troopers providing the escort. it is so compelling. i reached out to some folks that i knew on the arizona department of public safety. what that feels like, they were tremendously honored to be able to provide this service. they do this often for people in their line of work. they said to be able to escort senator mccain, someone who has been such a hero to them and someone who has served not just their state but this country with such honor and dignity they say as someone who wears the badge as the arizona state trooper it was tremendously very prideful for them to make sure that senator mccain got the respect that he deserves in getting to his final resting place. it is truly a humbling sight to

see, but one that our law enforcement from now until senator mccain is laid to rest, a lot of men are making sure he gets the respect he deserves with great pride. >> thank you for being with us. >> you, too. thank you. before john mccain became a political maverick and a presidential hopeful he was this man, a pilot in the u.s. navy serving his country. more about mccain's military legacy next, live in the cnn newsroom.

before he was senator and presidential candidate john mccain he was lieutenant commander john mccain in the u.s. navy who served his country as a fighter pilot. during the vietnam war his plane was shot down and he was captured at a p.o.w. despite suffering debilitating injuries mccain continued his service as the navy senate liaison and served for 23 years before retiring in 1981 as a captain. the naval air force is honoring mccain tweeting a man who served his country until his last days, a true patriot, an american hero. rest in peace john sydney mccain iii. cnn analyst is joining us now. good to have you with us. what does john mccain mean to you and others who are serving on behalf of our country? >> good evening. what i would say is he had a special connection with those in

the military because i think more than any other politician he certainly understood who we are and what we did. i only had limited engagements with him a couple of times. i was able to talk with him, escort him around in a combat zone and describe some things that were going on in europe when i was commanding there. he had a very insightful way of understanding not only the tactics of situations but also the strategic requirements of different situations that effected the military. he loved the soldiers, sailors, air men and marines, all branches of service. he was hard on the senior ranking folks. he was often a very tough brief when we had to give him information when he would come to visit. all of those things make for trust. that is really the cornerstone of any kind of military relationship, when you trust the civilians who have the authority over the military. >> you mention him coming to visit when you were serving overseas. he made several trips abroad to

regions where the u.s. was actively engaged in military operations, some of the most dangerous places in the world. do you think mccain's passion and dedication was unique in that way? >> he was. i told the story on twitter today about how he visited us in moz mosul. we had pretty active operations going on. i asked my bosses don't send us congressional delegations, try to keep them in the other parts of iraq because we have a lot of things going on and i didn't want to deal with them and have the soldiers deal with them. but a bevy of them were coming over continuously. mccain said he is going to mosul. i tried a couple of times to stop that and redirect him. i guess someone told him i did that. as soon as he stepped off the plane he said i understand you don't want me to see mosul. i said it is pretty tough combat

environment and i don't want to take you around. i don't think you belong out there. he said that is exactly why i came up here. we took him around. he engaged with my counter part, an iraqy three star general and a lot to get a feel for what the soldiers were going through. >> what can young people in congress or the military learn from mccain? >> you have to learn where the action is and have an understanding of what goes on when you send young men and women into combat, understanding the strategic environment. i think senator mccain also grew after that experience because i saw him later in europe on multiple occasions and he had kind of taken up the habit of bringing other people from other sides of the aisle with him on these congressional delegations and having observed him what he was doing, he was training the younger senators and the younger congressmen the kinds of things

they should be doing and how they should lead by walking around and getting a feel for the environment, see what is really happening, just don't sit in washington and have the perfect intelligence come in under nice lights and air conditioned offices. he wanted them out in the field and seeing what was occurring so they can make better judgments about the strategies and policies of the united states government. >> always good to see you. thank you for your service. >> thank you. i appreciate it. we are back in a moment. i'm very happy with my life. i'm very happy with what i have been able to do. there are two ways of looking at these things. one of them is to celebrate. i am able to celebrate a wonderful life and i will be grateful for additional time that i have. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job
