he was also a contributor to john mccain's campaign and a partner of cindy mccain on an arizona real te deal. >> we will now proceed to hear from senator mccain. >> when regulators were investigating keating and his s&l's collapse, mccain along with four other senators met with them. >> i'm glad to have the opportunity to fully and publicly account for my relationship with charles keating. >> many felt the senators were trying to influence the investigation to help keating. >> when he came to see me in march of 1987 -- >> it's something mccain denied. >> my mistake was to go to the meeting, but at the meeting, i said that i wanted no special favors, i wanted no -- anything done that would be -- appear unethical or wrong. >> ultimately, mccain was cleared of any wrongdoing, but the allegations stuck with him. >> i've never seen him more depressed and angry about having his honor challenged. i think that hurt him more than the north vietnamese did. >> the keating five scandal hurt him more than -- >> personally. >> -- being in prison for five and a half years and beaten? >> that's how i

cindy mccain laying a wreath. meghan mccain is flanked by general john kelly and there you see john mccain's mother, robert mccain, 106 years old, an elegant, feisty american. saying good-bye to her son. sip di mccain now approaching the wall. she will lay a wreath before the motorcade then goes to the national cathedral in washington for what is really a state funeral. martha raddatz is there at the vietnam memorial. martha, john mccain didn't like that wall when it was first built. said it was a little too funereal, but he came to love it. >> this is such a sacred space, george, and there are so many veterans gathered here this morning to pay tribute to john mccain. more than 58,000 names on that wall. this wall meant so much to john mccain. he didn't at first like this wall. he thought it was too funereal. it didn't celebrate those who had given their lives for our country, but he came around in the same way so many people have when you go down there and you see those veterans, look at two veterans right there,

cindy mccain one of the captains today. >> senator john mccain's widowr se as honorary captain. she participated in the coin toss. she was giving a hug to larry fitzgerald. he became a friend of the mccains and gave one of his eulogies. >> we are going to continue to deal withoi tropicalure for the rest of the day. then we get warm, humid air in here for most of the week and of course all eyes will be on florence for late this week and next weend. for now, dealing with the rememb rememb reminants of so use extreme caution this morning. the good news is the heavy rain is done withs for now but it will be a bit of a showery day today. now a hurrica bk up with 90 miles per hour sustained winds and the forecas tracker remains not very settling for interests along thendoutheast coast that includes especially the state of virginia and any variion in track could make a big difference on how much of an impact that we get here.es the l thinking from the hurricane center is a concerning one because itrings the storm on shore as a category 4 storm north carolina late thursday night. into f

i don't think any of us will ever, soon, at least forget cindy mccain's emotional moment as opera starenee fleming sang "danny boy." a crushing moment there to watch her. certainly a moment of time, i guess, today. historying passing here today in the capital. >> john mccain's character was on display. >> reporter: right. >> posthumously and it lived through the words and these anecdotes from people just as you said, you know, may have been his political adversaries at one time, but the way they talked about their relationships that came from their differences was just so striking. >> reporter: it was. and i think we should also take note of other messages there today. i was struck by joe lieberman, of course, a former democratic senator, long-time close friend of john mccain'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

we expect to see cindy mccain, john mccain's widow come out and place flowers or a wreath at the foot of the vietnam memorial and when you think about it, this is one of those parts of john mccain's life, everyone knows this part of his biography, but really those folks at home have no purchase with it. how can you possibly understand the kind of things that john mccain went through during his five years in captivity? a lot of folks who come to this memorial day after day, his fellow pows, really do understand that and this will be that moment, that silent solitary tribute to that such an important part of john mccain's life and remember, that was not his only purchase with these p.o.w.s even after coming to the senate. he cochaired a committee with john kerry, his fellow vietnam veteran where they disagreed on so much about the war but worked together to help normalize relations with north vietnam some 20 years after the war had ended. so a very big part of john mccain's life. some of his fellow p.o.w.s will be at that ceremony later today, but this is kind of the one stand alone ele

mccain, cindy, and the mccain children, president and mrs.nd secretary clinton, vice president and mrs. biden, vice president and ms. cheney, vice president gore, and as john would say, my friends, we come to celebrate an extraordinary man. a warrior. a statesman. a patriot. who embodied so much that is best in america. president bush and i are among the fortunate few who competed against john at the highest levels of politics. he made us better presidents. just as he made the senate better. just as he made this country better. so, for someone like john to ask you while he was still alive to stand and speak of him when he is gone, is a precious and singular honor. now, when john called me with that request earlier this year, i will admit sadness and also a certain surprise, but after our conversation ended, i realized how well it captured some of john's essential qualities. to start with, john liked being unpredictable. even a little contrarian. he had no interest in conforming to some prepackaged version of what a senator should be. and he d

who were in attendance. >> john, melanie brought that up with john and mattias there alongside cindy mccain. how did that read and how do you think the president in that image that we saw them all side by side how that would have been taken by the president? >> it was so extraordinary that the sitting president of the united states was not welcome at a funeral that essentially was a state ceremony with presidents of both parties, former vice presidents, dick cheney, al gore, president clinton, secretary clinton. so i think the mccain family probably decided. i don't know this but i think they probably decided that some representation from the current administration was appropriate and they chose what they considered the least obnoxious way of doing that and that was through the chief of staff, john kelly and perhaps through ivanka and jared kushner. >> john harwood and melanie, we thank you for being with us starting us off at this hour. thank you. >> thank you. >> racism strikes a heated battle in florida for governor. how a robo call from a white supre supremacy group entered the fray. y

but it is worth noting here that after the motorcade leaves the capital, leaves the rotundra, cindy mccaina wreath here. former president barack obama and george w. bush will both eulogize senator mccain. he asked them to come speak at his funeral, and 15 palbearers, they all seem to say the same thing when they were asked to be part of the service, they say they were so touched. let me talk about another highlight, john mccain's daughter was publicly visible throughout, she will be giving remarks, she has been talking about her dads, at some points pushing back. she has been part of some of the most powerful images we have seen in the last week. not just in arizona been. she was holding the hand of her grandmother, 106 years old. the rain has held off so far. you remember when the senators casket was pulled out of the hearse and the skies opened up. thousands of people came in, thousands of people that didn't know him wanted to pay their respected and they wanted to pay their respected to him when they were at the capital. they continued that processional line longer than they expected to
