1:07 am
mccain long serving senator an american war hero lies in state. becoming the great and the good from across the political divide paying their respects. by his own account john was a rebellious young man in his case that's understandable what faster way to distinguish yourself when you're the son and grandson of admirals went to munich. eventually though he concluded that the only way to really make. his mark on the world is to commit to something bigger than yourself. and for job that meant answering. the highest of call. serving his country. in a time of war mccain's family emotional and his daughter meghan unafraid of politics the america john mccain is generous and welcoming and bold she is
1:08 am
resourceful and confident secure. she meets her responsibilities she speaks quietly because she is strong america does not boast because she has no need to. be america john mccain has no need to be made great again because america was always great. a swipe at president donald trump's divisiveness many feel that the death of john mccain comes at a time when american politics really needs more not fewer like him politicians who can reach across the widening political divide. ok let's get some analysis on this now from tyson bucca us if as an analyst with the aspen institute in berlin tyson good to have you with us again that message that we just heard about at the end of our report reaching across the political divide very close of course to john mccain's right to the point that he even designed his own memorial service in such
1:09 am
a way that it stressed his wish to bipartisanship just walk us through some of that symbolism yeah i mean well you know he's having three services this week the first was in arizona that he's got actually two in in washington and then he's going to have a private ceremony at the naval academy where he will be laid to rest with his family and each one represents a different identity that he has one is arizona and the second which we just saw a statesman the third is soldier and family man so here what we see is you know in a deliberate attempt to say ok who are the people who made an effort to reach across the aisle and that's first and foremost represented by these two presidents one republican one a democrat both of whom he was rivals with but he had the grace obviously to welcome him back work with them as as politicians and he wanted them to speak to his character and of course they had this common message he made us better presidents right right and that's it's
1:10 am
a clear contrast contrast with with president trump what he was trying to say is you know we want leaders who bring up the best in people and that message is openness that message is you know bringing people across the aisle tolerance you know making keeping america great as meghan mccain said you know it doesn't need to be great in the divison this actually hurts the country talking about meghan mccain a incredibly emotional very forceful address by john mccain's daughter meghan how strong do you think is the voice of the mccain family going to be moving forward well as you know as she mentioned as president obama mentioned. service is something that's very important to the family it's a very high calling for john mccain and his father and grandfather that was of course military service he's got several sons in the military who have served for megan mccain that might take a different role she's currently on a t.v. show called the view she's on every day but she's clearly shown political aspirations so that public all the public service is going to take different forms
1:11 am
but i think she will be the standard bearer for that public face and what about her mother cindy mccain is she going to be going to take over that senatorial seat do you think well it's really difficult to say i mean there have been calls to do so but. the thing about mccain was he was so unpredictable as president obama said in the cast that deciding vote in the health care the obamacare repeal attempts last year one of president exactly the thumbs down moment one of president trumps number one priorities and twenty seventeen so what the republican governor and president are going to be looking for is a solid republican vote and i don't think should provide that i'll be looking for a loyalist you know you saying mccain was unpredictable you met him yourself what was your personal experience with the mckay he was irascible inner jadick he you know i met him in the context of you know some work we're doing on ukraine and russia he's somebody was extremely gauged in the region and ukraine cared a lot about the country was very suspicious of lattimer putin but something that he you know always made clear i hocked towards putin
