his long journey john lies here in this great hall, under this mighty dome, like other american heros before him. here, as a restless wave approaches the shores of eternity, we thank god mccain. >> on behalf of a grateful nation and on behalf of congress, i want to begin by giving thanks to the mccain family for your many years of service to our country. we share your anguish in losing this great man. rarely does this glorious rotunda fall silent at this hour. on a day like this john would usually be bounding this way or that way right through here, visitors turning to each other asking if that's who they think it is. in this quiet hour we are left to ponder how his life speaks to us. john mccain deserves to be remembered as he wished to be remembered, a patriot who served his country, a man, yes, of the senate, but also a man of the house. a navy man, a family man, a man who made an enormous difference in the lives of countless people. a man of conviction, a man of state. there's a line from his farewell statement that really just grabbed me. our identities and sense of worth are not sir cup skriebed but enlarged by bigger circumstances than ourselves. that's john mc

so why is it socially acceptable for rick boucher and mickey kantor or john boehner, god help them comen behalf of trying to? why does nobody say wait a second, what are you doing acting against america's interests? >> up until the trump administration there was this narrative through successive republican and democratic administrations, the big propaganda theme was china is not a threat. trump has come out and said the emperor has no clothes. china is a threat. it's not just limited to these former officials and congressman and former commerce officials and the like. they are actually going after former military officials. if there's a program called the sonja initiative which was launched about ten years ago by the former vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff admiral bill owens. and he basically has made tens of millions of dollars in china and he formed this organization of former military officials who literally lobbied congress and the administration to do china's bidding. >> tucker: that is so deeply corrupt that we are going to follow up on that story and i hope you will com

john all the time. [laughter] swear to god. the same thing was said to john and his caucus. that's when things began to change for the worse in america , and the senate. that's when it changed. what happened was at those times it was always appropriate to challenge another senators judgment, but never appropriate challenge their motive. when you challenge a motive, it's impossible to get to go. if i say you are doing this because you are being paid off, if i say you doing this because you're not a good christian, because your this or that, it's impossible to reach consensus. think about it in your personal lives. all we do today is attack the oppositions of both parties, their motives, not the substance of their argument. this was 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 , to we call regular order start to treat each other again like we used to. the senate was never perfect. john, you know that. kennedyuld watch tenney and john eastman fight like hell and then go

probably the best example going with john kerry to vietnam. my godwo men couldn't have been more on opposite sides in the early 1970s. yet he forgeed a friendship that made a big difference for this country. >> you know, john, one of the things i heard this morning, mccain surprised people. and it's rare these days that anyone in this poll tested era surprises you in politics. and in that sense he and trump have something in common. trump always surprises you on the down side. and mccain always surprised you on the upside. that iconic moment where the woman stands up at that minnesota rally and says she thinks obama is an arab and mccain says in words that really remain deep etched in my memory, no, ma'am. no, ma'am. ea decent family man and a citizen. that came from some deep surprising place. just as when donald trump sat there and said, you know, i like heroes who aren't captured. that always shocked. that surprise me too. i couldn't think -- somebody who dodged the vietnam war actually could have the chutzpa to say that. the deepest contrast betw

in his 36 years, john chapman lived by creed, "god, family, country." >> this is when he decided to join the air force. >> reporter: a husband and father of two. >> john was one of those teammates that i could trust and rely on. >> reporter: on march 4th, 2002, chapman part of a joint special ops team on a mission to establish a mountaintop observation post in enemy territory. sergeant chapman's job, call in air strikes as needed. but little did his team know they were landing in a hornet's nest. >> they were ambushed. they were in a pitched battle. >> reporter: their aircraft was hit. navy s.e.a.l. neil roberts was thrown from the chopper, which was driven away. regrouping, the remainingerant w back to the mountain to rescue their teammate. chapman charged uphill through deep snow, two enemy bunkers, killing a pair of fighters before he was cut down b enemy fire. >> it's not a surprise that john chapman was leading a charge with a single mind of purpose, close with and defeat the enemy to try to rescue his comrade. >> reporter: valerie, chapman's wife, was at home. what do you remember

mass conflageration and john mccain was literally in the middle of that explosion as airplanes were splashing around him. this man is a giant not just in the u.s. navy. thank godl you next if you asked him he would say he failed. and he failed because although everybody says i'm going to resist, i'm going to ekoo keep resisting and they're not going to get anything from me, in the end he was broken. and he was broken because everybody breaks at one point. and everybody -- malcolm knows and i knew who were a part of that, general boyd and gym stockdale, and everybody else in the tour all said that john mccain was the bravest guy they had ever met. notwithstanding that john mccain had extremely high standards for his own deportment and thought that he had failed but he hadn't failed. >> it wasn't about breaking. it was about honor. and this is what we're missing today, why we're all sad. we're now in a period where we're devoid of honor. someone has to stand up, others have to stand up to take this nation's honor back. and john mccain is gone and now you have a role model for that. >> we feel very strongly about him and what he left behind. >> absolutely. and th

you see it in john's children, who carry on his spirit of service, doug, andy, meghan, sydney, jack, jimmy and bridget, may god bless you and keep all of you, your father was very proud and so is the state of arizona. in may, angela and i had the great honor of visiting with john and cindy at their cabin. before lunch, the senator broke the ice by sharing what was weighing on his mind most of all, breaking into his signature grin, he said, my biggest challenge is deciding whether or not to run for re-election in 2022. dying, as has been observed 50 years earlier, was not in his plan. the john mccain was a fighter and he called on us to fight with him, for american values, for the ideals and character of a free people, for justice and opportunity for all, for each other and for this blessed and bountiful country. none of us were ready for this, we never would have been ready for this, but john mccain often said of americans, we never surrender. so while we grieve today as a state and as a nation, john mccain's fight for america isn't over. it's a fight all americans are obligated to continue on his behalf. as w
