your thoughts on jared and ivanka attending? >> i think, quite frankly, it shows, as jonathan said, when you look at the political h hallmarks of what happened and the caliber of who attended the funeral, it speaks to such a great tribute to an american patriot. it feels awkward to dissect the politics of a funeral of such a great american. >> i agree with that. it is bigger than we can all imagine. >> totally agree. >> before i let you go, tallahassee mayor will be on "meet the press" today. in his primary victory, amid backlash over his opponent, his offensive comments. what are you looking for as this race plays out? >> i think -- i think most floridians are looking to see which of these candidates is likely to guide the state best. from a political perspective, you have this character in congressman desantis, who is essentially donald trump light, trying to em late the president. gillham, on the left is strong in the democratic party. you are going to have a clash of ideas, contrast of policies. all that said, it's starting

you heard ivanka mentioned, she's exactly right. most of the job training programs we have do not know how to measure what they do. we ask them, were you successful at job training and they will say yeah, we spent $100 million and helped 52,000 people and we ask did any of them get a job? hardly any of them know the answer. that is what we are trying to fix is bring accountability because we need it. it is not just a question of saving money. the economy needs more workers and this group is going to make that a priority so thanks for letting us do that. president trump: thank you. wilbur? >> thanks. one of the key markets is not just the few unemployed. also the very large percentage of people who are working age but do not identify themselves as being in the workforce. we need to pull them back into the workforce training and better jobs are what will do that. will drive the economy to these high rates of growth. if we do not have increased workforce participation, you do not have increased productivity, we will not be able to meet

we will also hear from ivanka trump. >> thank you, mr. president. from the assistant to the president here at the white house. this was the first interagency meeting of the national council of american workers. it was incredibly productive. we talked about obviously the robust economy that has created unprecedented opportunity and creating tremendous potential for so many who have been on the sidelines of the economy and now entering the workforce. we want to make sure that they are equipped with the skills and the training needed to thrive in our modern economy. we are working toward developing what was in your executive order, which was the national workforce strategy. the most critical ways that we are doing that is leveraging data to create transparency around educational outcomes to ensure that we are making available the data so that -- people know where jobs are located and making sure they are getting the skill centric -- credentials and will enable them to secure a family sustaining job and working with the private sector to ensure that the

>> i can't speak specifically to the relationship between meghan mccain and ivanka trump. we have seen on "the view" repeatedly meghan mccain criticized the president for his policies and words that there's been some appeal to ivanka perhaps to be some level of clarity as the president suggested she would when he was trying to convince the american public she belonged in the white house. i think the true test whether ivanka and jared and kellyanne and john kelly's presence at the memorial if it had any weight, if it mattered will be if there is a change moving forward, if they heard the words that came out of so many people's mouths about what it is they want america to be, if they take those ideas and convictions back to the white house and try to encourage the president to abide by them. this would be the 50th time perhaps i imagine that someone was hopeful that this type of thing could persuade president trump to lead differently, and therefore, that's why many people have little hope that he actually can, but this could be a turning point. >> i want to take a turn here

jared and ivanka have their own funerals. she's trying to push child care and for jared a criminal justice reform bill so they really want to have their own relationships on capitol hill and build themselves as these figures willing to work across the isle so not entirely surprising they would want to be involved but some of trump's allies said it was a big mistake and they shouldn't have been there. they weren't the only trump administration officials there. there was some john kelly chief of staff, there was some cabinet officials including john or secretary of defense mattias as well as eileen child, the secretary of transportation. they weren't the only ones 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 es

yes, there has been attention between him and jared and ivanka. heavens, there's been tension between him and the president. but they've managed to make it through, john kelly and his staff have said and have shown that they're committed to working with this president. >> jeff, i want to get your perspective here of somebody who works in a daily basis here with the white house, in terms how battled is the president by all of this? the op-ed comes while the white house was still reeling from bob word ward's book? >> absolutely. i was actually in the east room when the day that op-ed came out. the president had just been speaking to some sheriffs. we walked over towards him and he we asked about the op-ed, he started by responding and pulling out a list of his accomplishments. you can see when you look at that particular clip he was angry about it, and he was, indeed, rattled. and yet ready to start talking about things that he felt the country should be focused on. i was saying the story certainly had legs. and the longer these things last and the

ivanka said some very nice things about senator mccain after his passing. it was not unnoticed by the family. >> reporter: senator graham is pushing back on the notion that it was his idea for ivanka and jared to attend. a white house official tells us that the senator is the one who facilitated the invitation to the services, again with cindy mccain's blessing. it's a minor detail but one worth clearing up. i can tell you the president at this hour, frances, is still at his private golf club across the border in virginia. we'll likely only hear from him this weekend on twitter. he has a busy week coming up. he has the trade talks with canada and the confirmation hearing for brett kavanaugh. both things the white house would rather us be talking about right now. >> we'll be watching those tweets and that feed. jeff bennett, as always, thank you very much. >>> coming up, the farewell tour. it is a pessimistic look at this country but is it fair and accurate? >>> up next, the robocall adding more ugliness to the florida governor's race. governor's race. who r

when i saw ivanka trump and jared kushner, i was surprised.w they were on the invite list. turns out senator graham, you were behind that? >> no. nobody that was at the funeral didn't get invited by the family. i met with ivanka about a trip we are planning in africa earlier in the week. ivanka said nice things about senator mccain after his passing. it was not unnoticed by the family. if you wanted to invite everybody that loved john mccain you could have filled up yankee stadium. i'm hoping that cindy who has done terrific work for human trafficking of women and all things related to that issue can work with ivanka and others because that's her life's work. maybe these two can work together to help women in desperate straits. i think both would like to do that. i would like to help to the extend i could. -- to the extent i could. >> are you happy they were there? >> i was. they were sitting right behind us. >> i saw you there. >> they were positive about john mccain and i thanked them as john's friend that they would come. i thought it meant

ivanka trump and jared kushner have been seen talking with senator lindsey graham. kel kelly ayotte taking on that kind of third amigo role after joe lieberman left the senate. we will see the memorial service start in just about the next 30 minutes or so. the former presidents that will be eulogizing john mccain, barack obama, george w. bush, will be held sort of in the back of the cathedral until it's time for them to come out to where attendees are sitting. then you're going to hear meghan mccain deliver a tribute to her father. she has been the most public of john mccain's children. she obviously appears on "the view." she has pushed back against critics of her father's when necessary. we have seen her throughout this week overcome with emotion at times, the first time she saw her father's casket for example in arizona, yesterday holding the hand of her grandmother, roberta mccain, 106 years old who we have seen inside the cathedral as well. meghan will deliver a tribute to her father. she talked about him being a fire that burns bright, living in his light and

decision to make mike flynn to make him national security advisor was pushed by jared kushner and ivanka trump and then jared kushner pushed donald trump to fire jim comey and said it would be politically palletable to democrats. these are the most destructive political decisions and they were pushed by the family. >> okay, zerlena. he only trusts people he shouldn't trust. he puts jared as his vice roy for the middle east. what is his knowledge? >> nothing. >> he puts his daughter, everybody who people sort of like, in charge of the sun. it's insane. she's going to protect us in the beginning against climate change, against global warming. these are insane decisions. >> essentially what it demonstrates is that he doesn't really care about the underlying policy. he doesn't know anything about the policy and he doesn't care about the outcomes and how that impacts people because if you put ivanka trump in charge of climate change, you're basically saying i don't take climate change seriously. he's setting it up. those are the folks he's going to pardon. the reason why the circle of people
