when they offered to release him because in respect of his father who was commanding american forces in the pacificjohn mccain wouldn't go unless they released all of them, as a consequence he spent additional years in the prison camp. now, that alone speaks so well to his character. >> yeah. >> we talked with him, statesman, warrior, war hero, public servant. in the end john mccain was, is and shall remain a noble man. that's his basic legacy. >> one of his sons, jack mccain, has shared a tribute in the past few minutes on social media, if we can put that on screen. he says: it is not the man that was great but instead his desire to serve a cause greater than himself that defined his life. to me he was a giant, but to him he was an imperfect servant of the nation he loved deeply. fair winds, following seas and clear skies. jack mccain's message to his father. that idea of imperfection which john mccain was always open about was one of his most appealing attributes as a politician. >> right, he was very humanizing. he was constantly talking about that even in his final senate speech, let's have mor

now this was because his father was a four-star admiral, the commander of all the american forces in the pacificstayed three 1/2 more years knowing that any day,ny minute you can end the abuse, you could end the suffering by just raising your hand and saying i'll take early release, see you guys back home. high did you not to do that? and he just looked at me and said that would have been dishonorable. >> and that's exactly the man he was. ivan watson joins us live from hong kong. ivan, what's the reaction been from that region with which we know that john mccain has a historic connection? >> reporter: it's front page news in vietnam right now, martin, all the biggest web sites there, the news web sites all have tributes to john mccain. obituaries with headlines talking about the forts he made to reestablish ties between the u.s. and hong kong strike him as this monumental statesman of the success. it's more striking when you consider his long history with that country going back to when he was a naval aviator conducting bombing runs when he was shot down in his first mission in 1967 and held wa

. >> judge, if i told you a company had 24% increase in north american sales, 30% asia pacific, and they had 14 consecutive months of adding to these record runs, you wouldn't think the company is down 9% year to date, caterpillar. we settled these things -- >> [ inaudible ]. >> i own it. >> i know you do. >> i do. >> industrials i'm fine with it i'm calm. >> this is one of them that is basically a rocket ready to run. >> you hope you get that trade deal with china? >> i am hoping for that and yesterday you got news about the -- what the president talked about, i think about a week ago or so when he said $12 billion that he was setting aside for the farmers that are being impacted by the tariffs and things like that obviously some of that money could be spent at deere and caterpillar and those kind of places caterpillar stands out to me as one doing virtually everything right, sort of like boeing, but these guys have been hurt more and they're ready to pop. >> quick on the market, we all probably expect some form of a pullback it would be good probably that we had a pullback in the marke

and my other half is, there are two islands in the south pacific, one is american samoa and the otherat in the other is western samoan and my family is from western samoa. and very proud culture. and we sing and we play ukulele and we dance, and we-- >> stephen: you do sing, you sang in "moana." >> oh, i did! i did, yes, thank you so much. ( applause ) >> stephen: what-- had you sung a lot or were you nervous about that? how did you train for that? >> about singing? well, i wasn't nervous about singing in "moana." you know, we had lin-manuel miranda who wrote all the music and set it up really nicely, he is amazing, of course. ( applause ) but probably just because we were singing all the time, as a family just growing up and always singing and sometimes singing samoan songs, hawaiian songs and things like that. >> stephen: would you be willing to do a little singing for our show? ( cheers and applause ) like, in samoan. because i don't know, like, samoan songs. >> absolutely. so there's-- a samoan song, let's see-- um... >> stephen: i understand you used to warm up before you sang on

bones, he had american indian artifacts that had been displayed here sent back to him during his presidency during william and clark. diplomatic gifts they exchanged on their way to the pacific ocean and back with more than 407 indian american nations. he had busts of influential thinkers like voltar and the french philosopher and his arch nemesis hamilton, a bust of hamilton here in this hall, which he set on the opposite side of the room of a bust of himself. he liked to tell his visitors they would be opposed in death as in life. i like to ask our visitors all the time, why do you think he had it here? because we don't know the real answer. one visitor said perhaps it was a political hunting trophy, because of course jefferson eventually won in the political battle versus hamilton by becoming president of the united states. the dining room is one of the brighter spaces at monticello because of the chrome yellow paint on the walls. it would have been located on the north side of the house, which would have been the coldest and darkest side of the house, but that's where breakfast would be served each morning and dinner about 4:00 or 5:00 in the afternoon. jefferson is very

his father, also a four-star general, later commanded all american naval forces in the pacific.er graduating from episcopal high school in virginia, mccain followed their lead, entering the naval academy in 1958. by the time the war broke out in vietnam, mccain was an aviator. in june of 1967 he nearly lost his life for a third time. a rocket aboard the aircraft carrier he was on went off accidentally and struck his plane as it idled on deck. 134 senators died, but mccain rolled through the flames to safety. >> i felt this tremendous blow to my airplane and saw the fire coming out, so i probably reacted a little more quickly than those in the planes near me. some of those in the planes near me didn't survive. >> four months later, his luck ran out. on october 26, 1967, during a daytime bombing mission over downtown hanoi, mccain's plane was hit by a missile he later described as a flying telephone pole. mccain landed in a lake in front of thousands of angry north vietnamese civilians, one of whom stabbed him in the groin with a bayonet. they dragged him in chains to prison hate

greater countries in the world that need american energy, clean burning alaska natural gas that would help with regard to greenhouse gas emissions in the asia-pacific region. whether it's korea, japan, india china if they are interested who want american energy i think it's an enormously important strategic play economic play in environmental play. that meant a rush and all these other countries who produce oil and gas in their standards on the environment are nothing near our standards. nothing near. the russian energy oil production is a disaster. in alaska we have the highest standards in the world. i think we can do a lot more to cooperate with india in particular with regard to energy. i will tell you one area that i was involved with in the bush administration literally the president was interested in having us help countries like india be consumers of energy, joined the international energy agency the iaea which is part of the cd that i went to india to press the case. this was over 10 years ago. i got the indian bureaucracy in action. they weren't that receptive at the time but even that is changing. i've had an opportunity to talk to the p
