and joe lieberman's relationship with john mccain was something to witness in the senate. i had the benefit of working with both of them on the legislation that came up after 9/11 and we really respected how john mccain and joe lieberman would find other senators to find common ground to stand on and get things done for the country. >> and you talked about joe -- lieberman and we knew from the books written and from john mccain himself that he wanted joe lieberman to be his running mate but he was persuaded by other campaign advisers and people in the party that the convention would never accept a democrat as the running mate for john mccain in '08. >> well that convention where he was nominated, it was strange because all of the talk then was about what was happening in iraq and afghanistan and it wasn't what was happening in the economy and the crash came after the economic -- the economic crash came after the republican convention. i think the tickets on both parties might have been very different if the economic problems had been exposed before the conventions took pla

i mean, first of all, lindsey graham and joe lieberman and john mccain, the original three amigos ofhe three of them, incredibly close and believe in the exceptional role of america and american leadership and standing up for human rights around the world. and john was the leader of that. whenever he traveled, any person that was -- was a threat he would stand up to them and he stood up for our values and his legacy will be one of -- i think it is clear vision of america's role in the world and standing up for people who were not in a position to be able to stand up for themselves. >> and as you talk to him when you last saw him, and he was battling this terrible disease, the courage with which he fought this final battle has been so extraordinary and so heroic. tell me about his attitude and how he could maintain that spirit? >> well, john had that same fortitude and was resolute until the end. and the other thing about john, incredibly optimistic, about life and you've heard him say, i'm the luckiest man alive. his family and the country and our future and that was true even when h

he grunted back and stormed off and in the silence of the weight he left behind him, r joe lieberman leaned over and said i think he really likes you. how can you tell? i said. to which lieberman responded, he wouldn't bother asking you those questions if he didn't think you had something to say . there followed invitations to travel which i accepted less ha often than i should have, free trips on some of them and as i said after visiting a refugee camp in jordan where hundreds of syrians had just arrived, fleeing the butchery of assad's troops, john wept with compassion about the children beingtaken from them. and john promised to fight for them and their claws relentlessly and he did . just after inauguration last year, at the north atlantic regional security conference in halifax canada, i got to see john command respect across the board from political and militaryleaders from a dozen countries and heard leaders from allies and partners across europe from the baltics to the balkans , our reassurance we would keep our commitment and stand by their young democracies in the face of r

lieberman as his running mate, even though lieberman wasn't a republican, which not unthinkable in politicsunusual. lieberman putting out a statement saying that although it was clear that john mccain's life was ending, his death hurts, america has lost one of the greatest patriots and public servants in our history. i lost a dear frent and was lucky to know him and i worked with him and comfort about the great memories of our time together. he quotes mccain from the time after mccain was recovering from brain surgery, mccain said he wanted to live as long as he could, but said he was blessed to live a great life, which is just an incredible understatement. the senate republican leader, the majority leader mitch mcconnell put out an statement. than era filled. cynicism about national unity and public service, john mccain's life shown as a bright example. >> thank you for all of those statements, joe johns, coming in reaction to the death of john mccain. >> it's got to be so hard for your family because you're losing the leader of your life, essentially the leader of your family. to do so so

we bring in former senate homeland security committee chair, jost lieberman -- joseph lieberman.quacks like a russian troll, facebook says it mimics the russian troll, how serious do you feel the russians are about attempting to infiltrate and affect our midterm elections? >> oh, they're 100% serious. i mean, the intelligence community, members of both parties in congress certainly in the senate all agree that the russians acted to affect the outcome -- it's kind of amazing when you step, can say the russians were trying to determine who was going to be president of the united states. and now even though putin denied everything in the private meeting, i assume, and publicly in helsinki that he ever did anything like that and certainly wasn't doing it still, the evidence that facebook brings forward says that they are. liz: but senators from both sides of the aisle have been adamant in their belief that the russians absolutely tried to insert themselves into our elections. and, by the way, if you really go back to the '50s, without the internet, this is what the u.s. has done in t

even in the book he said he regretted not picking lieberman.never said he regretted picking sarah palin. >> he didn't blame her. >> and it's such an interesting point, too, because clearly the palin pick and the reason he was advises not to pick joe lieberman, in addition to not wanting to have a mess of a convention and alienate a large portion of the republican party, which would have happened likely as well, he was envisioning -- the whole point of this was envisioning a presidential ticket that reached across party lines that could afford to alienate a large portion of the republican party and draw in independents and even draw in democrats who liked the idea of a more centrist approach from the presidency. and that just was not to be. his advisers basically told him that wasn't going to work. >> let's not imbue the vp pick with magical properties either. >> but it could have negative. >> itbut let's not pretend it h magical properties. yes, it could have hurt him. yes, you could talk about the benefits from the palin nomination. i just don

so rare. >> i mean, i think mark lieberman rightly refers to the news that samter lter is to mcc that relationship and there were other relationships that were not self evident. he didn't like joe biden's ideas on iraq when he was chair of the foreign relations committee. they forged a bond over their devotion to foreign policy and to the soldiers and with bo biden's diagnosis and that moment when bo biden on the view with megan was comforting her in december, it was around december 13th of last year, shortly after john mccain's last senate vote and he had retreated to sedona, and he was really showing the ravages of the treatment for the cancer as much as anything else. he was in a wheelchair, and she broke down. and biden got up and hugged her and said that, you know, john mccain had helped him through so many stages with young bo, and he meant when bo was a child and when john mccain lost his first wife. and when he had these two kids and was just coming into the senate, and people like john mccain and teddy kennedy and others were comforting him along the way. bo had suffered earl

it was our last day in israel before returning home and i spotted joe lieberman, former senator joe lieberman of connecticut at dinner at the citadel hotel and he waved me over. he and mccain just finished a long dinner and lieberman asked me to sit down and talk about our trip and experiences and recent developments in pakistan and afghanistan. mccain barely acknowledged my presence with a gruff grunt, and he seemed genuinely distracted and even annoyed as i was answering joe lieberman's questions. mccain looking around the room and barely paying any attention. and after ten minutes, john asked me three pointed and challenging questions, testing my observations and my conclusions, rattled, intimidated, i defended as best i could my eupbl sights before his -- insights before his withering questions. mccain grunted and stormed off and in the silence of the wake he left behind him joe lieberman leaned ever over and said i think he really likes you. how can you tell? to which lieberman responded he wouldn't have bothered asking you those questions or waiting for answers if he didn't think you ha

yeah, joe lieberman is probably the finest man in many respects.wing wonderful, fine men. he's amoungs. the top very must number. he's hooun honest, decent, he lives his religion and we were very close and good friends. >> no regrets on sara palin? >> oh, no. when i lose, she was a terrible choice. if i had won, sara palin energi energized the republican party. she got people active in the campaign that mccain never could have. i could write the script as to how it was an inspired choice. it all depends on whether you within win or lose. i do not want to appear as complaining to you, gloria, because i've had the most wonderful life and career that anybody you will ever meet or interview. bar none. no one has had the incredible life that i've had. i think that the run for president made me appreciate how fortunate a person i am. once i got over the 24 hours of defeat, which was not unexpected, i began to be a little receitrospective and appreciate the life that i've led and that i could continue to contribute. that was one very important thing. i sa

. >> and joe lieberman who ended up an independent but was a democrat. in fact, as john mccain was dying, joe biden and joe lieberman went out to see him. they posted pictures of the three amigos. john mccain as my colleagues have said, was such a unique patriot and in fact, when he arrived in congress, i was covering him then in 1982. and he was already a celebrity as a freshman congressman because of the tortures that he had endured in vietnam and everybody knew about that. they wanted to be in his presence. they wanted to be somehow surrounded by his aura and he understood that but he also had a sense of humor about it because he knew that, you know, come on, it took me being, you know, being shot down to have this kind of effect. that sense of humor got him through a lot. but he also did have an awful temper. he would get very angry with his colleagues, members of the press and then he'd have to come back and fix it. in the last couple of days, tom, i have been going back over the many john mccain memories and the actual legislation, and the number o

joe lieberman, lindsey graham. i understand that friendship to have gone through some turmoil in the time of trump. but the relationship with joe lieberman was one of the most remarkable friendships i've ever witnessed. the relationship with mark salter one of the most, for sort of burly men, this truly has been a love affair. one man putting words that are just as exquisite as any poetry to the heart and soul of a man who truly embodies the slogans under which he ran. i had a fight with mark salter once and salter said dammit nicole that isn't putting country first. i said mark it's a slogan. they were so true to the things they ran on. it was so rare. >> it's the muse that salter is to mccain and the closeness of that relationship. there were other relationships that were not self-evident because mccain did not love some of joe biden's ideas about iraq when he was chairman of the foreign relation committee. they formed a bond over their devotion to foreign policy and to the sold years and with beau biden's diagno

really, what the idea was, was that john mccain was going to pick joe lieberman. >> i get a call froms, who is the campaign manager for john mccain's presidential campaign in 2008. he said john would like to put you on the list of people to be vetted to be his vice presidential running mate. i said, are you kidding me? he said, no, i'm not. it was a bold idea. barack obama was beginning to walk on the mountaintops and we were not going to defeat him with a conventional campaign. >> in his book, "the restless wave," mccain expressed regret over not picking lieberman, being talked out of it by his staff. he was sound advice that i could reason for myself but my gut told me to ignore it and i wish i had. >> then john mccain said where else can i go? somebody said have you thought of this republican governor from alaska named sarah palin? >>> coming up -- >> we surprised everybody. maybe too much. there were a lot of things we didn't know about her. cause let's be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance, right? which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson becaus

. >> his first choice, close friend and democrat turned independent senator joe lieberman. >> we clung long time, even after people in the party were telling him that there would be a walkout of like a third of the republican delegates because of some of my liberal domestic positions. >> mccain later admitted regretting not picking lieberman, but always defended palin. >> the treatment that she received was still the worst that i've ever seen any politician receive. >> he's loyal to a fault and that was his decision. >> it was also his decision to not let his campaign turn ugly like in 2000. it came to a head at a town hall a month before election day. >> i can't trust obama. he's an arab. >> no, ma'am. >> no? >> no, ma'am. no, ma'am. he's a decent family man, citizen, that i just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues. >> you know, john believes so deeply in fundamental fairness, but if he thinks you're being unfairly treated or maligned he's going to be right there defending you. >> no, ma'am. no, ma'am. >> still, it was a contentious race. >> the dow jones industria

. >> joe lieberman was the candidate he wanted, but he was convinced that would create a revolt inside choice. >> the idea that women are going to race off to vote for any candidate with the same internal plumbing is both offensive and historically wrong. >> if john mccain wins, this woman will be one 72-year-old's heartbeat away of being president of the united states. if that doesn't scare the hell out of you, it should. that's all i'm saying. now t-mobile has unlimited for the rest of us. unlimited for you. for them. for all. get unlimited for as low at 30 bucks per line for four lines at t-mobile. is not a marathon. it's a series of smart choices. and when you replace one meal or snack a day with glucerna made with carbsteady to help minimize blood sugar spikes you can really feel it. glucerna. everyday progress. if your moderate to severeor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio®, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio® works at the sit

joe lieberman was part of that group also. then there's the political side also which is that lindsey graham is the walking embodiment of the pulling forces within the republican party. the best, closest, dearest friend to john mccain who for a long time shared the same values as john mccain and lindsey graham has developed a personal relationship with president trump and you can see him being pulled in those two directions. >> >> he reflects the moment we're in. and lindsey graham is facing reelection in 2020 and the possibility of a difficult primary and if president trump is a friend rather than an enemy he has a better shot of surviving that. that's the nature of politics. by the way i think even the biggest mccain defenders said mccain acted the politician. he basically dropped the immigration issue in 2008 during the primary when it was clearly a political loser for him and the primary he kind of moved on and then when he did have to face a primary of his own in 2010 after coming back to the senate he went down to the bo

>> john wanted to take joe lieberman. you're just sitting around the abstract, that's sort of interesting. but i said, okay, here's like time-out, time-out. has anyone in this room actually read the republican national convention rules? we're going to have a blood bath on the convention floor just to nominate him. >> he was unhappy with that point of view and resisted it and argued against it and kept maintaining it. but, hey, you can't start off a general campaign with a rejection. how are you going to win in november? >> i should have said, look, we've got a hell of a campaign anyway, joe lieberman is my best friend, let's take him. i was persuaded by my political advisers that it would be harmful. that was another mistake that i made. >> my friends and fellow americans, i am very pleased, very privileged to introduce to you the next vice president of the united states, governor sarah palin of the great state of alaska. >> she was not chosen because of her position on any particular issue. she had gotten into politics a

but he described you as his friend when he left the senate and in many ways you stepped into joe lieberman's shoes and three amight os, whats he like to have as a friend? >> an incredible friend. for me, not only was a dear friend but a mentor and took me under his wing and armed services committee and first of all hang out with john mccain, he has the most wonderful sense of humor. always cracking jokes. obviously he's tough as nails. incredibly bright, so strong and courageous but to his friends, we loved his sense of humor, his optimism. he was always getting ready for the next fight because he was fighting for people who couldn't fight for themselves and traveling around the world with him, he always stood any time there was a member of our military serving somewhere, he would go visit anyone who was oo pressed around the world as you know, just a champion for human rights and for people around the world. >> i want to play a clip for you, it's from 2016 after you lost why are re-election bid for the senate. >> there are many qualities that are important to being a good senator but none i

that he should have picked his old friend joe lieberman. and just the fact that he would say that, that he wouldn't gloss it over, speaks to exactly who john mccain was. but i think there is also interesting because the same base that donald trump has tapped into may have very well started with sarah palin. and so that connection is there to his republican party, the old republican party that mccain was part of simply is gone. >> that's part of a theme that i think we've sort of gone through over the past three days as we've been talking to excessively about john mccain. when he went with his gut, he was happy and he generally ended up doing the right thing because sometimes doing the right thing was doing the wrong thing politically. when he didn't go with his gut, he ended up having regrets. and that -- certainly it was the case in not picking joe lieberman and wasn't the case -- it was the case in not denouncing the confederate flag when he was running in the primary in south carolina in 2000. and there are a few other examples, very sta
