so, that was henry kissinger, 95 eagled henry kissinger, being his tribute.ialfigure, but paying his tribute tojohn mccain. this is the memorial service you are watching, the final public service beforejohn mccain watching, the final public service before john mccain is watching, the final public service beforejohn mccain is laid to rest ata beforejohn mccain is laid to rest at a private service tomorrow by his family. mr kissinger was speaking about the time that he metjohn mccain in 1973. this was around the time that he had been involved in the negotiation for a ceasefire in vietnam. and before henry kissinger, mr lieberman, one of the three amigos as they were known, also took to the pool but and spoke of his dear friend, following the death of john mccain. he had actually said very little initially and they had served in the senate together for 2h yea rs. served in the senate together for 2h years. much talk about him almost being chosen as a running mate in 2008. so let us just listening to the service from washington national cathedral. choir sing amaz

and it was a-- the dinner was just sort of like a mano a mano between kissinger and sinatra.hen i was home. >> stephen: who was a better date, trump or kissinger? >> kissinger. >> stephen: another all right. ( applause ) well, our network, cbs fknows how to advertise things. and your name-- you-- you instagrammed or tweeted this thing out. you said, "another so i'm on the front of 5,000 of these suckers, and friends are complaining that i almost hit them." ( laughter ) your face is the last thing a lot of tourists will see in new york. ( laughter ). >> it's-- it's overwhelming. ( applause ) >> stephen: are they really complaining? >> i've gotten several emails from people, and my daughter gets them from people. and one of the buses was stopping in front of our apartment building the other day, and i asked my driver, pauley, i said, "paul, stop, i want to take a picture of the bus." and so i jumped in front of the bus. ( laughter ) as much as someone my age can jump. and so i said to the driver, "that's me on the bus!" and she goes, "so?" ( laughter ) ( applause ) and then the

bush, the president, and henry kissinger. but also you've got an interesting pan apli of doves like warren beatty the actor/director who's here as pall bearer. and gary hart who ran the campaign for george mcgovern in '72 against nixon. of course barack obama who also i think was fairly called a dove as well. i think we're seeing everybody here today. it's probably unfair to single a few out but of course roberta mccain, 106 years old, burying her son today. that is a tragic fact of their lives. john mccain hoped he could live as long as his mother. of course she hoped that too. all parents want their children to outlive them, and john mccain suffered the same death of the brain cancer that joe biden's son beau suffered from and died from and ted kennedy suffered from and died from. that has become a consistent sort of pattern of death here in washington, those three all celebrated figures who died of the same disease. i want to bring in michael steele, former sem nair yan, and talk about this. it's interesting, we have a jes

henry kissinger. 95 years old, henry kissinger. his watch just a bit shorter. >>> our country has had the good fortune that at times of national trial a few great personalities have emerged to remind us of our essential unity and inspire us to fulfill our sustaining values. john mccain was one of those gifts of destiny. april 1973.for the first time in and at a white house reinterception for prisoners returned from captivity in vietnam. he had been much on my mind during the negotiations to end the vietnam war. partly also because his father then commander in chief of the pacific command when briefing the president answered references to his son by saying only i pray for him. in the mccain's family, national service was its own reward. they did not allow for special treatment. i thought of that when his vietnamese captives during the final phase of negotiations offered to release john so that he could return with me on the official plane that had brought me to hanoi. against all my instincts, i thanked him for the offer but refused

henry kissinger, close as henry was, never knew about the tape. john never knew about the tapes. >> two people told me about it before it was public. i called bradley at home at 9:00, on a saturday night, i believe, and i said, nixon taped himself. what should we do? and he said, oh, i wouldn't bust one on it, and it's kind of a b-plus story, and i thought, okay. the boss says b-plus. i won't work on it it. took sunday off, and monday, they called butterfield, and ben said, okay, it's better than a b-plus. >> from that point on, it's a fight for the tapes because they answered the truth. am i telling the truth? is the president telling the truth? what else happened, you know? the prosecutors immediately subpe subsub subpoena the tapes so nixon is early advised to destroy the tapes. here's a trip tip: when you search hotels on tripadvisor... enter your destination and the dates of your stay. tripadvisor searches over 200 booking sites... to find the best deal on the right hotel for you. tripadvisor. ayep, and my teeth are yellow.? time for whitestr

kissinger received the prize for negotiating a cease fire in the vietnam war he was set to share the nomination with north vietnamese diplomat late dr except the vietnamese responded with a big no thank you and to no one's amazement that's because kissinger had been secretly bombing cambodia throughout the nineteen seventies as disclosed in a pentagon report he approved almost four thousand bombing raids in just the first two years of the campaign. and last but not least as barack. many were left puzzled as to what obama had exactly done to receive his peace prize but just like the others the nobel committee said it had something to do with his past. only very rarely as a person to the same extent as obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future we are not awarding the prize for what may happen in the future but for what he has done in the previous year we hope this will enhance what he is trying to do what exactly obama did in that previous year is a mystery to most people. the debate over independence and spain's restive catalonia region hit the

the republican party has become joe lieberman who in fact did give a tribute just before dr henry kissinger here but alexander i'd like to come back to you because we've heard a lot of tributes from high profile people but what are ordinary people in washington saying how do they remember john mccain. many people told me they will remember he. war hero a patriot someone who believed in what he did and someone who was respectful respectful to our viewers also told me that they believe. that he believes believing in bipartisanship will be very important now in this times of tribal partisanship but as i said they believe that he's passing and what he stood for marks in iraq all right and finally alexander what's to happen later today and of course tomorrow. tomorrow senator john mccain will be laid to rest in a private ceremony at the naval academy symmetry in the now police and as i said this will be a very private ceremony and his family and family members and his close friends will attend this ceremony and we can't assume that it could be the most emotional moment of the of the national mou

but this is henry kissinger.heard from meghan mccain and joe lieberman. >> it is shipping to watch. and you talked about the bipartisanship and how senator john mccain planned this down to the tt is interesting to see how the speaker don't roll off each other. from this point on, what does the day look like into tomorrow as we behind the final ceremonies? >> >> reporter: from here they'll go to the funeral home. but final ceremony is tomorrow at the naval academy where he'll be buried next to his dear friend and naval academy classmate chuck -- that is the only private ceremony. he had a funeral at the north phoenix bat sift church on thursday and he died in state in the arizona state capitol. he lied in state yesterday and the u.s. capitol rotunda and taken here this morning. and they made a stop at the vietnam veterans' memorial and laid a wreath. but tomorrow is the final ceremony and it is private and it will be his burial at the u.s. naval academy annapolis, maryland. >> i would imagine with some of the most

and nixon was fascinated about a very emotional scene where nixon and kissinger got down to pray the p president lost it and when that was published kissinger came out and then years later to describe exactly the same scene and said to people that president nixon acted that way. the editor said sometimes it only takes a day sometimes it takes years. >> but you also talked about the president's relationship with t16. >> she focuses very much on their son. and that is what she should do but i didn't get into the nature of their relationship very much a number of people are quoted to say she is an influence and steve bannon calls her the hammer. >> go ahead you are on. >>caller: yes. personally with your work as communication is anecdotal. because the press does not publish any probability but they are as partial. >> reporting is not pure science but there is a method to talk to people to get records and documents and to tell people what you found the best debatable version of the truth and that is what has been presented in this book. >> good morning. i just had to pick up the phone wh

quite recently a new person is now here jeremy hunt and he tweeted it was an honor to meet henry kissinger in a tweet it that in the past couple of weeks. still the echoes of september the eleventh i did seventy three in a tweet like that. of course and as it is relatively consistent consistent with the decision by the blair government and the new and the positions of a many people him lead the current government in britain and is consistent with sort of generalized western opinion when it comes to a people like kissinger and activities humans involved in september the eleventh because it was the the architect he's one that gave the green light is he in britain tomorrow mainstream media if it's going to cover the hemisphere you're in it he's the southern part of it it's going to be talking about venezuela a believer in revolution that sent me to conspiration from an salvador allende and in a way they've covered him and he's saying you see this is the kind of mess left wing governments get and that the american countries and central american countries in two way and that's part of the ideol

this went on for months and months until finally in their memoirs nixon and kissinger both wrote about what happened. that will happen on this book. if you go down to the university of texas where our papers are and you see the watergate reporting and you see the final days, you'll see the methodology laid out and you'll see the accuracy of it. this doesn't come from one source. this is a reconstruction in meeting after meeting after meeting 234g which you wonder why doesn't john kelly the chief of staff go to the congress of the united states in executive session, resign for the good of the country, go to congress and say i want to answer all of your questions about this president in full about what the context is, about what's in this book, et cetera, et cetera, and let's see how it holds up. >> can i just add one other thing? let's go to donald trump. prurch has said ve-- president said very complimentary things of bob woodward in the past and the transcript that we have on cnn.com and the audiotape, what does he say? bob, you've always been very fair to me. those are his own words

when that was published kissinger came out and denied it and years later when his own memoir was published to describe exact weight the same scene and said two people that president nixon was almost a basket case. so as ben rackley the editor of the post said the truth the verges. sometimes it takes a day or two and sometimes it takes years. >> host: you talked about the president's relationship with melania trump. how would you characterize that lacks. >> guest: i have a couple of scenes of melania focuses very much on their son and that's one of the things she should do. i didn't get into the nature of the relationship very much. a number of people in the white house say she has a lot of influence and i think steve denon refers to her as thehe hammer, that she is very tough. >> host: from a republican line in texas, this is jane. jane and texas go ahead you are on. >> caller: yes, it's not scientific in its personal communication and the general presses the same way. they do not publish any sample size. they do not publish any probability. they did not publish any -- so no one can tell t

kissinger is the responsible way to do it.we saw with don carey was not only disrespectful but it was hurtful to america. when we are trying to make and roads with iran, we are trying to get them to identify the fact that they are doing full sickness will testing, supporting terrorism, moving arms to yemen, for john kerry to say, we waited out, it hurts america. >> martha: what will the administration do to him, do you think there should be some action taken? do you think there should be some repercussions for him? >> i think the answer is with the lawyers on that but to john kerry himself, if someone would have done this to him when he was secretary of state, i don't think he would have sat back and said, they have the right to do that. >> martha: so you don't think any action will be taken? >> the lawyers would have to see that. but of course people do talk to foreign leaders after they have a job, they are just usually respectful. >> i think a lot of people will be curious to see what the president's stance and posture is l

henry kissinger. george w.h, the other side of the spectrum, the son of a president from a distinguished family, obviously, and barack obama, the african american son of a single mother basically and raised by her and by his grandparents. you thought, you know, this is america. right? and that's pretty amazing. these four people rise to the top along with john mccain, different points of view. different backgrounds, all honoring john mccain and honoring the country, really. >> yeah. and notably not there to honor john mccain, president trump and his name, of course, never mentioned, but as you just heard, there were many references to him. certainly the decision not to invite the sitting president of the united states was going to make trump an issue. were you comfortable with the degree of politics and the way it played a part in today'ser is mo mo moanny? >> it appealed to the best of our traditions. you know, maybe in a little bit of a sentimental way. that's what you would expect at a funeral honoring someo

bernstein and i wrote about a very emotional scene on the eve of nixon's resignation where nixon and kissinger got down and prayed and the president really kind of lost it and was pounding the carpet. when that was published, itsinger came out and denied and years later, when his own memoir was published, he described exactly the same scene and said to people that president nixon was almost a basket case. bradlee, the editor of "opposed" said, "the truth emerges. sometimes it takes only a day or two, sometimes it takes years." host: you talked about the president's relationship with melania trump. how would you characterize that? guest: i just have a couple of scenes. that's exactly one of the things she should do but i did not get into the nature of the relationship very much. are quotedof people in the white house saying she has a lot of in a, and i think steve van and refers to her as a hammer, that she is very tough. from our republican line, texas, this is james. go ahead, you are on. personal communication, it is anecdotal, and the general press is the same way. not publish any so that n

kissinger made a point that maybe we haven't reflected on. that dissidents all over the world loved john mccain, means dissidents for freedom and democracy. and who this week hasn't fallen in love with john mccain, russia, the moscow times beating him up as a relic of the cold war and writing nasty things about him. but anywhere around the world where people are fighting for democracy, the name john mccain meant something. he was exported our american ideals all over the globe. >> one of the paul bearers was vladimir kara-murza, who was here the other day, still fighting for democracy, a protegee of the slain opposition leader in russia. when i went into senator mccain's center office, a little bit ago, he had a photo of boris nemsef in his office. so dissidents around the world had him in mind and he had them in mind. >> there was even a reading by former senator kelly ayotte that spoke to that, "the destiny of the righteous." when i was talking to some of john mccain's friends this week, they said he wanted that to be part of the service be

the first traces were henry kissinger and senator mitchell. we both agreed that neither would have got along with the other if we had been with mitchell or kissinger. but the first time we got together, i have a funny background. and i'll speak with the new jersey assembly, when there was no majority, each party had the same number of votes and they settled on this with the legislature where you can get anything past unless you had people of both parties. when i was governor i never had a republican senate so if we hadn't worked together we would've gotten anything done. i was accustomed to working across party lines. so the first thing i said to lee and something lee would tell you if he were here, i didn't know about this i said, we have both been appointed here, but we are equal and we are going to work together and i'm not going to do anything you don't think is right and we will make the decisions jointly. i thought that was the normal thing to do. lee told me afterwards, he said i was so surprised he said in congress, the chairman is eve

immediate action against north america -- nixon wanted to take immediate action against north korea but kissingernd his staff did not listen to that. this letter is of a different character, because it is opposing the president not in matters necessarily of life or death, but oversensitive policy disagreements. >> of all the time we were gearing the word "impeachment" of donald trump, there are whispers of invoking the 25th amendment. is that likely? >> this particular section of the 25th amendment, section four, has never been used. it empowers a simple majority of the cabinet and vice president to remove a president immediately if they think that president is unfit for the office. what that would take his vice president mike pence and 80 members of the cabinet to write a letter to the leadership in congress and say that they think donald trump needs to be removed. immediately, vice president pence would become acting president and donald trump would be able to challenge that decision, and congress will decide within 21 days whether or not they should endorse the decision of the cabinet or reins

when he turned in, henry kissinger was speaking. as cable replayed meghan mccain's mark over and over again, the president tweeted and retweeted simply make america great again in caps. we have a lot to get to. joining me is dan sullivan. welcome. >> good to be on the show. thanks for having me. >> you said he was your mentor, senator mccain, became a friend, put his arm around you when you were elected. >> early on. >> he nominated you to replace him as head of the international republican institute that goes out there and promotes democracy. the vision that john mccain was trying to lay out for people yesterday. what did you take away from the service? >> first of all, that was a beautiful service and first more than that, my condolences to the mccain family. cindy mccain and the children. i think they showed great grace, strength, dignity. i think the service, really the whole week, has been about unity. there's been as you mentioned at the outset some discussion about the tension between president trump and john mccain, but this

that is exactly what henry kissinger want to hear. then: 1973, he began as chair of the republican national committee. there for 21 months. why? dr. engel: because the president asked. and if the u.n. experience was his happiest time of life where he discovered something that enthralled him, the time of the rnc was the worst time politically and his life. he did it because president and decided to shake up his cabinet after winning reelection in 1972. move people around for the second term. he decided bush would be the kind of person he wanted at the rnc because he would be a loyal follower of the president's ideas. it became difficult because of watergate. job ofd the unenviable being forced to go out on the stump everyday and defend the president, a president who he increasingly came to believe and then know have been lying to him. like other republicans at that time, the moment they realized they had been made to lie for nixon, that was a moment he and others encouraged his resignation. 1974, he went to china as the u.s. liaison fo

the first traces were henry kissinger and senator mitchell.we both agreed neither us would have gotten along without each other if it were mitchell or kissinger. each party had the same number of votes. you work for two years for the legislature where you couldn't get anything to pass unless you had a party split on as governor and never had a republican state senate. if we would have worked together we would have gotten nothing done so i was accustomed to working policy across party lines. so the first thing i said to lee and something we would tell you if you were here was i didn't know about this. i said to lee, look we were both appointed and you are vice chairman i was chairman but we are equal. we are going to work together and i'm not going to do anything that you don't think is right. my goal is stefan policy and everything else. and i thought that was a normal thing to do. lee told me afterwards, he said i was so surprised. he said you know and congress the chairman is everything and the vice chairman is nothing. so when you said that

that was bringing out henry kissinger that america has a place in world. nation that can keep the world from completely -- we're that important and you should viewmerica that way. so it was a rebuttal too. so in that sense, it's exactly what john mccain had wanted. he designed this. >> it's something that a lot of people are thinking about. not only constituents but also people that are running for office. >> yeah. >> that are already in office. ey're trying to think about what he stood for. and -- >> good luck running on that style anymore. to be honest. i don't know if it works. >> but looking forward to the general election we know it'say labor weekend. everything is going in full gear. do you think any of this is going to matter and how is it going to play out? >> here's what we do now, donald trump does matter in the midterms. believe it or not, he's a bigger issue in the governor's race than the senator's race. he is an animating figure. it's funny to see part -- part of me was thinking about campaigning with john main, if you campaigned with him, yo

the first choices were henry kissinger and the second was senator mitchell. we both agreed that neither of us would've gotten along with the other one if we had been with mitchell or kissinger. but, the first time we got together -- i have a funny background. i was the speaker of the new jersey assembly, when there was no majority. each party had the same number of votes and they settled on me. i had to work for two years with the legislature, where you couldn't get anything past unless you had people from both parties. when i was governor, i never had a republican state senate for my whole eight years. if we hadn't worked together, we wouldn't of got anything done, so i was accustomed to working with policy across party lines. the first thing i said to lee, i am repeating this, but i think it is something he would tell you if you were here. i said, look, we were both appointed. we are equal, we are going to work together and i am not going to do anything you don't think is right. we will make all the decisions on staff and policy and everything else. i thoug
