we watched joe lieberman come in with his wife. of course a very, very close friend of john mccain, he's going to be speaking today. also with him, a very big supporter of the iraq war, very hawkish on the war, the two of them together. they called each other the amigos. then kelly ayotte was the third amigo. also, it was amazing to watch paul pelosi, the husband of the democratic leader of the house, chatting away with paul ryan, the speaker, her office number. i know paul very well. he's a good fella and very good at these personal relationships apart from politics. he's not a very political guy from what i can tell and he seems to enjoy just about everybody's company. it's interesting, always interesting to see how people pair off in these situations. obviously you pair off with somebody you want to pair off with. there's jane harmon, a long-time democrat member patting the chief of joe lieberman, former senator from connecticut of course. he's retired. there's his wife looking up at him with the blonde hair. it's not a club, i

asjoseph lieberman said, it wasjohn‘s instinct.r race or religion or agenda. —— gender. and i'm certain that in those moments that have been referred to during the campaign he saw himself as defending america's character, not just saw himself as defending america's character, notjust mine. for he considered it the imperative of every citizen in this country to treat everyone fairly, and finally whilejohn treat everyone fairly, and finally while john and i treat everyone fairly, and finally whilejohn and i disagreed on all kinds of foreign policy issues, we stood together on america's role as the one indispensable nation, believing that with great power and great blessings comes great responsibility. that burden is born most heavily by our men and women in uniform, servicemembers like doug, jimmy andjack uniform, servicemembers like doug, jimmy and jack who followed their father's footsteps as well as the families who serve alongside our troops. butjohn understood that our security and our influence was won not just by security and

lieberman spoke to this moment. thin reckoning with that period in our history. >> this is barack obama talking about how important telling the truth is for politicians. something that also will resonate especially right now. >> he understood that if we get in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, our democracy will not work. that's why he was willing to buck his own party at times. occasionally work across the aisle on campaign finance reform and immigration reform. that's why he championed a free and independent press as vital to our democratic debate. and the fact that it earned him some good coverage didn't hurt either. john understood as jfk understood, as ronald reagan understood, that part of what makes our country great is that our membership is based not on our bloodline, not on what we look like, what our last names are, it's not based on where our parents or grandparents came from. or how recently they arrived. but on adherence to a common creed. that all of us ar

to be his running mate. >> he wanted to pick joe lieberman. he was told if he did so, it would blow up the republican party, so instead he made arguably another mistake, he chose as his running mate someone he didn't know, someone he had very little experience with and he was also running on the back obama, the notion that he didn't have -- he was uncomfortabled to be president. dn'av t he h, didn't have the experience to be president and then he chose someone who one could argue had even less experience and depth than barack obama, you know, the hallmark of his campaign had been putting country first but at the ages of 71, almost 72 when actuthere was a possibilit might not survive a first or second term he chose a running mate, a heartbeat away from the presidency who many believed was not qualified to be president. >> sarah palin not invited today. >> john mccain is through his life and said this before is he always questions when he doesn't go with his gut and his gut was to pick joe lieberman in that race. we don't know if it would have m

as joe lieberman i was grateful, but i was not surprised. asjoe lieberman said it was his instinct.never sanohn treat anyone differently because of their race or religion or gender. and i'm certain that in those moments that have been referred to during the campaign he saw himself as defending america's character. notjust mine. he considered it the imperative of every citizen who loves this country to treat all people fairly. and finally while john and i disagreed on all kinds of foreign—policy issues we stood together on america's role as the one indispensable nation. believing that with great power and great blessings comes great responsibility. barack obama they're paying tribute to the late senator john mccain. a crowdfunding appeal to pay for alex salmond's court battle against the scottish government has closed after doubling its 50 thousand pound target. the former scottish first minister asked for money to help fund his legal action over the handling of sexual misconduct allegations against him. salmond said that any excess funds from the £100,000 raised would go to good cau

but sarah palin was let's say the four runner for what the republican party has become joe lieberman who in fact did give a tribute just before dr henry kissinger here but alexander i'd like to come back to you because we've heard a lot of tributes from high profile people but what are ordinary people in washington saying how do they remember john mccain. many people told me they will remember he. war hero a patriot someone who believed in what he did and someone who was respectful respectful to our viewers also told me that they believe. that he believes believing in bipartisanship will be very important now in this times of tribal partisanship but as i said they believe that he's passing and what he stood for marks in iraq all right and finally alexander what's to happen later today and of course tomorrow. tomorrow senator john mccain will be laid to rest in a private ceremony at the naval academy symmetry in the now police and as i said this will be a very private ceremony and his family and family members and his close friends will attend this ceremony and we can't assume that it

as joe lieberman said, it was a john's instinct.r religion, or gender. and i am certain that in those moments that have been referred to during the campaign, he saw himself as defending america's character, not just mine. he considered it the imperative of every citizen who loved this country to treat all people fairly. and finally, while john and i disagreed on all kinds of foreign-policy issues, we stood together on america's role as the one indispensable nation, believing that with great power and great blessings comes great responsibility. that burden is borne most heavily by our men and women in uniform. servicemembers like doug, jimmy, and jack, who followed their father's footsteps, as well as the families who served alongside our troops. but john understood that our security and our influence was won, not just by our military might, not just by our wealth, not just by our abilities to bend others to our will, but from our capacity to inspire others. with our adherence to a set of universal values. like rule of law and human

joe lieberman was terrific. his speech had anecdotes.was a little more personal perhaps than the others, funnier, and he told a funny story. mccain was a witty man, and lieberman was both the butt of his humor occasionally and also he's a witty man. there was a -- that was another thing. we're being serious today, but the high spirits with which mccain engaged in politics and public life is also something we've forgotten. not everything has to be bitter or dead serious and solemn. mccain had a real kind of sense of enjoyment of politics and what he -- he was serious about obviously the country and helping disdents abroad. he took that seriously, but he combined it with a real love of life and of the joy of politics. >> you definitely got that from the other speakers too. he was serious and you could disagree and have pepic battles on positions and policy and yet, you could still be friends with this guy. it was never taken too personally. you talked about the bipartisanship that mccain represented. also his ability to be really cut throu

he and lieberman from a great example of bipartisanship. and as we know now, john mccain wanted to pick joe lieberman, a democrat, to be his running mate in that 2008 campaign. he ended up not doing it, but that was john mccain, always looking across the aisle. richard? >> a beautiful resting place there in annapolis, maryland, there at the u.s. naval academy. the capital gazette. hans nichols, our pentagon correspondent, thank you so much, sir. thank you seven for giving us the perspective there. >>> coming up, caught in the crosshairs. a former trump campaign aide files legal documents that contradict the attorney general's sworn testimony. ♪ as moms, we send our kids out into the world, full of hope. and we don't want something like meningitis b getting in their way. meningococcal group b disease, or meningitis b, is real. bexsero is a vaccine to help prevent meningitis b in 10-25 year olds. even if meningitis b is uncommon, that's not a chance we're willing to take. meningitis b is different from the meningitis most teens were probably

asjoe lieberman said, it was john's was not surprised. asjoe lieberman said, it wasjohn's instinct.stinct. i never sanohn treat said, it wasjohn's instinct. i never saw john treat anyone differently because of their race or religion or gender. and i'm certain that in those moments that have been referred to during the campaign he saw himself as defending america's character. not just saw himself as defending america's character. notjust mine. he considered it the imperative of every citizen who loves this country to treat all people fairly. and finally whilejohn to treat all people fairly. and finally while john and to treat all people fairly. and finally whilejohn and i disagreed on all kinds of foreign—policy issues we stood together on america's role as the one indispensable nation. believing that with great power and great blessings comes great responsibility. former president barack obama and that was a clip of his eulogy at the memorial service for the late senatorjohn mccain. let's take you live now to the national cathedral in washington, the blessing is being received from

joe lieberman served as a democrat leader and independent but you don't see -- and i'm -- i'm kind of driven back to the vice president biden's eulogy in arizona. you don't see this level of bipartisanship and decency. it's really an end of an era and looking back to this week's primary race, it's already gotten so ugly and it's truly -- i mean, i would argue that mccain's death is just an end of a time of civility and decency and politics and right now it seems like it's gotten so ugly at this point. >> and reflect on what julia is saying there. will this be forgotten come sunday? this very idea of what john mccain represented snit's been talked about certainly since his passing. how long will this halo be here for? >> i think julia is correct. it's an end of an era and they're using this moment of john mccain to contrast and stark relief in politics today. every time we see in the foreseeable future, every time we see a partisan attack, every time we see someone who's acting, putting party before country, people are going to remember the service of john mccain, sort of what he stood

i was struck by joe lieberman, of course, a former democratic senator, long-time close friend of johnccain's. he was invited, of course, to speak from the altar, to give a tribute, and the story he told of all the stories he could have told from, you know, the -- his global travels with senator mccain, he told the story of how john mccain asked him, in 2008, to be his running mate and he said, no, i couldn't really do that, i'm a democrat, and he said, no, joe, that's the point. of course we know that that is not what ended up happening. mccain's advisers blocked him from doing that, said it would be a disaster, you must pick someone more exciting, so he picked the governor of alaska, sarah palin, just about ten years ago this month, and of course she was also not invited. senator mccain, the senator's family, did not want her there as part of that legacy, so a bit of a, i would say, a correction of history. senator mccain was not proud of that moment, but the fact that joe lieberman was telling that story, i think, today spoke volumes about how our politics has changed and senator mc

there was joe lieberman and his wife. he spoke from the heart.omething. i also just want to mention one line by henry kissinger that i think sums up today. he said that john mccain gave us a much needed moment of unity. and that certainly was the case. >> you know, david axelrod, you listened as closely as anyone to the various speeches, including the one from your former boss president obama. >> yes. and i think both president bush and president obama conveyed essentially the same message in different ways, which was about mccain himself and it is a built to look beyond differences and find common grounds around the things that they shared about this country and its fundamental principles and the rebuke that was there of president obama said so much of our politics seem small and mean and petty, trafficking in bombast and insult and phony controversies and manufactured outrage. it's a politics that pretends to be brave but, in fact, is born in fear. john called on us to be bigger than that. he called on us to be better than that. you could not b

as joe lieberman said, it was john's instinct.ntly because of their race or religion or gender. and i'm certain that in those moments that have been referred to during the campaign, he saw himself as defending america's character, not just mine. for he considered it the imperative of every citizen to treat all people fairly. and finally while john and i disagreed on all kinds of foreign policy issues, we stood together on america's role as the one indespendable nations, believing with great power and great blessings comes great responsibility. that burden is borne most heavily by our men and women in uniform. service members like doug and jimmy and jack who followed their father's footsteps, as well as the families who serve alongside our troops. but john understood that our security and our influence was won not just by our military might, not just by our wealth, not just by our ability to bend others to our will but from our capacity to inspire others with our adherence to a set of universal values like rule of law and human rig

it's a poignant tribute. >> senator joe lieberman, former senator joe lieberman is giving a tribute at i think it's important to note that as well. this is something again scripted by senator mccain. joe lieberman a good friend in the senate, if he had to do it over again if 2008 that, is who senator mccain wanted to be his running mate. all of hess aides blocked him from doing that. i do think it's important as we remember the life of for john mccain here and his heroism to point out he is not eager to have the 2008 campaign, particularly the selection of sarah palin, a part of this memory here. so he is having joe lieberman speak because he wanted to choose and he said no the party will never go tore that. so by crafting who is in the audience who is speaking the senator is having a final word on. that history will show the 2008 campaign really was the beginning of this the wakening inside the republican party that senator mccain didn't like and he, in fact, is turn theing against it here. i'm very intrigued by senator lieberman speaking here. >> you see the satellite tv vehicles the

. >> speaking to joe lieberman. that's who they're speaking with. mccain's probably closest critic -- >> former senator -- >> former senator from connecticut, one of his democratic partners in the senate. >> i was looking at mccain's concession speech when he lost to president obama, and it's all in here, you know. he talks about right off the top, i had the honor of calling barack obama. he talkedut t fact that candidate obama commanded his respect for his ability and perseverance. he said he admired him and commended him. this is just in the first two paragraphs. recognizing after a bitter fight and one in which he expressed and behaved in all of those ways we were just talking about, you know, that very pointed behavior he could have, but immediately recognized that his duty as the defeated was to honor and raise up and commend in public the person who had just won. >> my president, he called him. >> his president, that's right. called him my president. that's very much a part of him. >> i noted, you referenced that concession speech. also in the

i listened to joe lieberman and henry kissinger, and president obama talk about who john was, and what he brought to america, and the cause that john mccain fought tirelessly for throughout his life, what he sacrificed for. i'm telling you. that's what i heard. yeah, there are some political comments made, but by and large, it was a tribute to john mccain and that was fitting and proper that's basically what the message was. john mccain is an extraordinary individual, and he is irreplaceable in the united states senate because of what his history was, what his background was, what he focused on. we all knew john was going to, you know, was going to pass, and we knew it was inevitable, and last week, you know, it came to fruition. it was very sad, very sober, but it can be very uplifting if we listen to john's words. let me just read because this is the best way to summarize this from john's own farewell address. the last paragraph. do not despair our difficulties, but believe always in the promise and greatness of america because nothing is ineligible here. americans never quit. we nev
