of course joe biden lost his son to the same cancer that took john mccain. that was really the root of joe biden's softly spoken message to the family, itself, which was the most emotional part of that service this morning. also, the people of arizona had been given the chance to say good-bye to this man who took this state as his own. he moved here in his 40s. people said you are a carpet bagger, coming down to take an easy seat. he said i was a navy brat. i'm here now and going to stay. one final fleurish is the longest i have lived in a place is hanoi, he was a prisoner there for five years. he took this state to his heart. the state took him to heart. yesterday, people were in line three hours waiting at the capitol to file past the casket. 21 people had to be treated for heat related issues. it was very, very hot here today and yesterday. the people of arizona wanted to saygood bye. very shortly, john mccain will be taking off for andrews joint base and the celebrations of his life in washington this coming weekend. brooke? >> nick, thank you. imagine be

[laughter] v.p. that's when things began to change for the worse in america, in the senate. that's when it changed. what happened was, those times, it was always appropriate to challenge another senator's judgment but never appropriate to challenge their motive. when you challenge their motive, it's impossible to get to go. if i say you're doing this because you're being paid off, if i say you're doing this because you're not a christian, if i say you're doing this because you are this, that, or the other thing, it's impossible to reach consensus. think about in your personal lives. but all we do today is attack the oppositions of both parties, their motives, not the substance of their argument. this is the mid 1990's. it began to go downhill from there. the last day john was on the senate floor, look what he was fighting to do. he was fighting to restore what we call regular order. just to start to treat one another again like we used to. the senate was never perfect, john. you know that. we were th

one of john's major campaign people is now the senate, the governor of ohio. he said biden and mccain had a strange relationship. they always seemed at each other's back. whenever i was in trouble, john was the first guy there. i hope i was there for him. we never hesitated to ask each other for device. -- other advice. he would call me in the middle of a campaign and say what the hell did you say that for? it was not on an issue. he just read up, joe. i would occasionally call him. -- he just screwed up, joe. i would occasionally call him. look, i have been thinking this week about why john's death hit the country so hard. yes, he was a long-serving senator with a remarkable record. yes, he was a two-time candidate who captured the imagination of the american people. and yes, john was a war hero with demonstrated a string and the courage. i think of john and my sunlight of think of ingersoll's words. when on her scores to compromise with death, that is heroism. everybody knows that about john. but i don't think it fully explains why the country has been so taken by john's

biden. long before john had any political ambition, he was exposed to people like senator cohen, senator bidenf the great luminaries as the chairman of committees that he worked with. so he's always had an incredibly close and personal relationship with joe biden. it has been tested over the years on issue after issue. and yet they remain steadfast in their personal relationship. if there's any better exemplification of what you can accomplish in politics to debating vociferously and then at the end of the day maintaining a relationship with the people you do battle with is the model of governance that john mccain so much adhered to. and that relationship with joe biden was clearly in that category. i would say bar none, joe biden has been an incredible comfort to the family, a source of wonderful amount of information about the disease when john mccain was first diagnosed with glioblastoma, an i know cindy and meghan and the whole family have been comforted by his prayers and counsel, and for that reason they have asked him to be here at the first stop along the way. yes, ma'am. >> how is the

and that was an incredible contribution to world peace really. >> john meacham, andrea mitchell is talking about joe biden, ted kennedy, john mccain as big-hearted men, which they all are. how will history remember big-hearted john mccain's selection of sarah palin as his running mate? >> not favorably, i don't think. it's one of the moments that i suspect senator mccain means when he talks about being an imperfect public servant. you know, you forgot more about this than i know. he would roll the dice at a critical moment in the summer of 2008, elevating someone who did give him a boost in the polls initially. we'll argue forever about whether the palin pick, mainstream, some of the tea party opposition -- we weren't calling it that then, but to president obama. but one of the things that i so admire about senator mccain and bob dole and george h.w. bush, this last group of truly great people whose heroics were mostly in the 20th century, at least as young men, is that they called them as they saw them. if they screwed up, they said, hey, i screwed up. judge me on the totality of my life. you know, we're
