i think this is very telling that senator john mccain explicitly asked both former presidents george w. bush and barack obama to deliver. a funeral and we have to say that he was not close to either of them they were his rivals george w. bush was his republican rival in two thousand primaries and. democratic for in the two thousand and eight federal elections but these two men who men who dashed his dreams of the white house to speak here is sending a message not only to his fellow republicans democrats to all americans that it's important to put. country over party that it's more that unifies that separates them all right i'd like to bring in tyson who's here with me in studio obviously tyson we've heard glowing. things being said about this man mccain but obviously he did have critics as well what did they have to say well i mean you had critics from the right and the left from the right people so the. he was a rhino a republican in name only that as it was mentioned that he put sometimes country before party but he wasn't a loyal party hollower and sometimes he would defect from his party

if you had a george w. bush administration that had been more mindful of some of this dislocation caused by permanent, normal trade relations with china, if you had a bush administration that, when it was approaching the immigration issue, didn't say, "hey, the answer is, we need a large guest worker program," if you had a george w. bush administration that was a bit more mindful of the interests of blue-collar voters -- not just republican blue-collar voters, by the way, but writ large, then you would have had a very different politics in the subsequent decade. so, i've got to say, i have a huge amount of respect for my friends and colleagues, people i've read and admired for a very long time, but until you acknowledge that, "wait a second." it really was the kind of past of conservatism that contributed so much to the fact that a lot of conservatives found themselves turfed out and marginalized in this new era. >> reihan, thank you for coming on "firing line." i appreciate you being here. >> thanks for having

president george w. bush and former president obama we heard from bush he praised john mccain for his courage and decency he said that he was very often frustrated by the senator and what he had to say but at the same time he made him a better man so it was a very porous powerful. we also heard as you said from president obama. when he was asked by john mccain to speak here today he was sad and surprised a little bit because he's he was his political rival in the two thousand general election but he of course thought that it would be to speak here today and then he joked seeing that john mccain is no probably laughing that both his political rivals bush and obama are speaking very talking telling very nice things about john mccain but president former president obama's speech was also sort of political when he said that john mccain fought against a habit of bending the truth because it. tarm the u.s. democracy when he said that john mccain championed the three a free and independent press it could be. in dire

remember him from the george w. bush era? elaine chow. she was labor secretary under george w. bush. now she's transportation secretary under donald trump. george w. bush's deputy chief of staff was joe hagan. donald trump hired the same joe hagan for the exact same job last year. so on the planet, where the trump administration is just the next republican administration after george w. bush, it was a bit of a yawner when trump announced that his latest nominee to the supreme court would be, surprise, a bush guy. and probably the most bush guy he could have found. dating back to the year 2000 when the bush campaign dispatched this guy to work on the florida election recount. the following year brett kavanaugh land ad primo position working in the george w. bush office. he was later promoted to white house staff secretary. that is a crucial but influential position in which he mlgd the flow of all documents across the president's desk. brett kavanaugh was there at the closest range during the george w. bush years for a lot of those years. by the time he was nominated to become a

you know former presidents barack obama and george w. bush are among those who are also expected to give tributes here alexander what does this tell us. well i think that this is very telling that it was john mccain himself who explicitly asked former presidents george w. bush and barack obama to deliver at his funeral although he was not close to any open to them. asking them to speak here but both men who actually dashed his dreams of the white house is very telling and we can it's you that it was supposed to send a message to mccain's fellow republicans but also to democrats and basically to all americans a message of how important it is to cross. across the aisle across party lines how important it is to put country over party because that is something that mccain believed it's the best way of serving us interests and yet beyond this skill in spite of these skills tyson he somehow managed to fail on his two bids for the presidency where did he go wrong well you know he had been in politics for a long time and he came you know rose to the

president george w. bush. both of these gentlemen were competitors and rivals and sometimes serious rivals of the president. i don't know how john mccain got over the treatment he got at the hands of george w. bush back when he lost the fight for the nomination back in 2000, especially what happened in south carolina, but he has gotten over it. he picked him to speak today. he also has barack obama who put him out for the presidency in 2008 and he's also speaking today, as meghan mccain who has been crying all morning here. we've been watching that. his daughter is going to be speaking today as his fellow amigo as he put it, joe lieberman, a democrat who he wanted to put on the ticket with him in 2008. maybe we should go back to steve for a thought on that. was that a real possibility that he was going to break all protocol and run a bipartisan ticket for president and vice president? >> sure was, chris. it came very, very close to happening. he wanted to pick joe lieberman and basically the message of the camp

george w. bush. and laura bush who did pay their respects to john mccain in recent months at cottonwood. hillary clinton, al gore. jon karl, as we see everybody coming, he was a great drinking buddy of hillary clinton. >> yes, he struck up something of a friendship with her in the senate. they joined forces on a couple of causes. i wouldn't say it was an incredibly warm relationship but it was a remarkable one. she came in under extraordinary circumstances, obviously, the first former first lady of the united states to be elected to the united states senate and she set out to kind of charm john mccain and to court him and to ask his advice when she first came to the senate. >> we see there former vice president dick cheney, the president's national security adviser john bolton along with senator clinton there. boy, terry, it's hard not to address the elephant in the room as we see those former presidents there, as we see the president's staff, as we see george w. bush, as we see laura bush, glaring i

despite the fact george w. bush's parents and even the graduation speaker, not of the -- none other than the secretary of war, close family friend of the bushes, encouraged bush and those like him to go to college, spent a year or two getting more seasoning. the expectation was these type of person would become officers. a good officer has a little more understanding of the world. bush and his comrades had no interest in that. they want to get into a fight before it was over. ironically not realizing how long it would go. brian: how old was he when he enlisted? was 18.l: he here is a good place for his family connections to pay off. having been unable to keep him from enlisting in the navy, his family was able to get him a coveted spot as a naval aviator. he ultimately becomes one of the youngest naval aviators in the entire pacific theater. we used to say he was the youngest naval aviator until one other gentleman who was younger showed up. now we have to say one of. either way, remarkably young for having that sort

former presidents barack obama and george w bush will give eulogies. eulogies. there will be politicalfriends from both sides. but it is worth remembering that he did have some political enemies and those came from the left and the right. of course, there will specifically be some shadow, i suppose, because the president, donald trump, will not be there. he was a man who wasjohn mccain's political nemesis in recent years and there were people who did not see a lot in each other. —— they we re see a lot in each other. —— they were people. others feel strongly thatjohn mccain should be remembered in the most sincere way possible. i think that will take place today. we can see some of the scenes taking place inside the national memorial. people have already been arriving. over the last few hours. the ceremony itself is set to start within the next 45 minutes. this is the last, the final public sendoff. his burial to take place tomorrow. yes, there will be a private service tomorrow that takes place just outside of washington. before he is buried. as you m

the opportunity to work with brett during his service in the george w. bush white house. as secretary price has just said very well, those of us who worked with him universally praise his work ethic, his intelligence and his integrity. i visited with the george w. bush a few days, talked about brett. he put it simply brett kavanaugh is a class act. and endorsing brett conformable to president bill clinton bob bennet called him a strong advocateet of decency and civility. by the way, of all the attribution to appoint a judge what could be more important than good judgment? but definitely showed good judgment in marrying ashley. so did she. and they are a great family. it's wonderful to have their daughters, margaret and liza with us here today. brights parents are also here. that's a special appropriate since brights first introduction to block it from listening to his mom, practice closing arguments at the dinner table. she was afi trailblazer. went to law school at age 34 and eventually became a trial judge. wright has said to him, martha kavanaugh will always be the true

there, because john mccain never relaxed, which i think was part of the joke he was telling to george w. bush. that was also classic george w. bush, with his shoulders and his winks. you're way to young to remember this, and i covered the 200 primary fight between these two guys, and it was as ugly as it gets. >> yeah. >> the fact that those two could come from beyond that and form a friendship as president bush says, says so, so much. >> president obama also spoke. take a listen. >> so much of our politics, our public life, our public discourse, can seem small and mean and petty, trafficking in bottom pab bombast, phony controversies, and manufactured outrage. it's the politics that pretends to be brave and tough, 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. >> dana, not so subtle subtext there. >> not even a little bit. using all tho, he ran on the no of hope, and that was no accident that he did that. i also loved, s.e., when president obama said that senator mccain is getting the last laugh by having george w. bush and bara

what the white house and the george w. bush administration are saying is that they should be protected because they were part of deliberations, because they were part of -- they're characterizing them very broadly, citing attorney/client privilege, citing communications privilege, deliberative privilege, things that are so broad it's hard to know exactly what all is being held back. but we know lots are being held back. they're saying anything brett kavanaugh might have done on judges, because he was in the white house counsel's office when several individuals were chosen for very important federal appeals court, and then also for the supreme court during some of his tenure. i have to tell you that when john roberts was up for confirmation, he had also worked in the white house counsel's office during the reagan administration, and several of his papers on those exact same issues were made public. >> so the democrats are arguing unnecessarily too much is being withheld, and this represents a lack of transparency. so how importa

the instinct of the george w. bush white house, investigate it. don't assume it's true, don't assume it's false. and look at this case, where we are today despite repeated requests of the white house and the republicans from the federal bureau of investigation to look into this matter, despite repeated requests of them to ask the fbi to do this, they've refused. the republicans refuse an investigation of the charges by dr. ford. dr. ford has called for the fbi to investigate her own charges. they refuse. if they truly believed that there was no evidence, no witness to back up the charges of dr. ford, wouldn't they obviously have called the fbi and said, do your job. find what you can and we're confident at the end that judge kavanaugh will be exonerated, but they haven't. they haven't. and despite all the calls for fairness, fairness over and over again by senator mcconnell, fairness would dictate that a nonpartisan investigative group like the fbi look into this matter and come to conclusions, whatever they may be. i listened as senator mcconnell

president barack obama and george w. bush have led tributes to john mccain at a memorial service in washington the late senator died last week of brain cancer a bomber and bush praised him as a consummate statesman who embodied the country's values politicians from across the spectrum attended the service with one notable exception president donald trump who had engaged in a bitter feud with mccain was not invited. john mccain. long serving senator an american war hero lies in states. 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 then 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 john that meant answering. the highest of calls. serving his country. in a time of war mccain's family emotional and his daughter megh

only he and george w. bush as he did athe mccain memorial speech last weekend feel they can explain and kresse their -- express their concerns. the risk, of course, is if he overplays this, it bomes a midterm election about two presidents and not about congressional and gubernatorial candates all across the country. pete: is there concern some places where he might do damage? >> exactl we are already hearing some say we welcome obama as aharacter, as a person in the 2018 race and while the house, a lot of the territory is favorable to the mocrats, particularly a lot of the districts that hillary clinton won in 2016. we've talked for the last year and a half about how difficult this senate map is for the democrats. 10 states that trump one, some in double digits in 2018. n,nator manhe democrat up in november won't even say whether he voted for obama in 2012. if obama does become a larger figure in the 2018 race,t could become difficult for a lot of democrats. >> obama will focus on house and government races --

they have been going back and looking at the background of brett kavanaugh to did work for george w bushe presidency. mr bush's lawyers have been going through hundreds of thousands of pages of documents, looking at what brett kavanaugh was involved then, comments made, and they are part of 27,000 pages of those documents to be restricted, and not be released under the argument of constitutional privilege. beyond that there is about 100,000 other pages of documents that are not being released for other reasons. that has got democrats angry, they are accusing the white house of trying to prevent this information being released and they say, given that brett kava naugh was released and they say, given that brett kavanaugh was a public servant, how can they restrict information about his time in public servants? they say this level of restriction is unprecedented. is this the first time that constitutional privilege has been cited? no, it is the extent at which it is being used in this particular instance. as a result, democrats are pushing hard on this issue. the at argument from republica

george w. bushw, because this is not the first time a u.s. president has ripped up and withdrawn from a deal that you were involved in, that democratic presidents were involved in. george w. bush famously pulled out of the talks and negotiation with north korea back in the early 2000s, which led to the nuclear capability they have right now. president trump and at the time george w. bush believed that they were tough, that they could rip up these deals and make better ones. that isn't the case, is it? >> that is not the case. in fact, when people talk about soft power, really diplomacy is about being tough and smart. hillary clinton used to talk about smart power all the time. it's also tough power. you have to be ready to walk away. you have to be very clear about what you want and go for it. but again, be ready to say no, not going to cross that line, not going to go down that road. i think the best negotiators are the ones who have clarity, persist, but also understand the stakes and that they ha

also on the program at a memorial service in washington former presidents george w. bush and barack obama paid tribute to senator john mccain who died last week he made us a better president instead of say. hello and welcome my name's christopher spring a good to have you with us here in germany the eastern city of kemet has once again been the scene of demonstrations and counter-demonstrations sparked by the killing of a local man to asylum seekers the syrian and in iraq in custody news that one of the two could have been deported two years ago fueled from days anti migration protest it was met with counter-demonstrators supporting an anti racist pro diversity starts tensions were high off the violence broke out at protests this week. far right groups including germany's largest opposition party the anti immigration a.f.d.c. paraded through came nits in what they called a silent mourning march for a german man who was stabbed to death in the eastern german city last sunday by the fellow. of war i'm here because we are no longer prepared to accept incidents like these in

they're looking for antipathy for roe versus wade expressed by brett kavanaugh looking in the george w. bush white house and comments that they believe he made in writing that are in favor of torture or as the bush administration called it enhanced interrogation. people who are captured in the war on terror in the months and years immediately following 9/11. why are they looking for that? because if they can find some negative comments about roe versus wade they can try to drive a wedge between the kavanaugh nomination and two republican senators about whom we've been speaking this morning. susan collins of maine and lisa murcowski of alaska. if they can find anything supportive of torture they'll try to drive a wedge between the nomination and rand paul of kentucky who is as fierce an opponent of government torture as john mccain was and who probably would change his already announced pro-kavanaugh stand to a neutral or negative position if these memos surface and if judge kavanaugh cannot distinguish the young judge kavanaugh from the present one. >> history shows these confirmation hearin

former presidents barack obama and george w. bush eulogized the senator... the two men who kept mccain from becoming president himself. after all what better way to get a last laugh than to make george and i say nice things about him to a national remember him as he was, undimmed, unequal. the mourners invitation only... they ranged from presidents... to comedians and congressional colleagues... to president trump was pointedly not invited. but first daughter and trump and husband jared the service.daughter meghan he was a great great american, i admired him for things, but i loved him because he was a great father. senator mccain's final resting place annapolis, maryland at the u.s. naval academy. that private ceremony will take place on sunday. reporting in washington, morgan wright.
