. >> well, my husband and i went to sedona and saw cindy and john, and of course he was pretty fragilebut he was still his eracable self, yelling things when things came up on the tv, telling me husband views of things. i had brought a few of my books with me, i don't know if i thought we were going to talk them through, but he pointed to a sentence from one of his books and it said "nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for a cause larger than yourself." and that's john mccain, whether it was his decision as a pow to allow others to be released before him because he didn't want to have special treatment, whether it was the way he was in the senate standing up for immigrants, standing up for healthcare, whether it was the way -- the resiliency after the presidential race where he could have just gone home and given up, instead he went back to the senate, did his work, mentored young senators like myself, taught us how to act on the world stage, always making sure he had women up front. maybe it's all those strong women in his life from his mom to cindy to his daughter meghan

>> well, you can see by the spectacular backdrop why john mccain and his family have loved sedona and loved arizona as their home. he often told me that as the son of the navy, that he as a child had moved around so much. he didn't feel rooted in any one place. so when he married cindy, arizona became something he had never really had, a home. and so it has meant so much to him. he has spent the last several months at the ranch near sedona, convalescing, going through his treatment and so forth. it was striking, with a really lengthy motorcade and a police escort and crowds lining the route, a two-hour drive from this area to phoenix, where john mccain will be honored in the state capital will be also remembered by people who were his constituents and his community for all of these years. it was so striking, his death came at 4:28 in the afternoon local time here. and a few hours later, as the sun was setting in sedona, the lights and sirens carrying this man who had served his country for 60 years, from the time he entered the naval academy, his navy career in public office and so fo

i don't think it's a surprise that he spent those last months of his life in sedona that ranch he loved because his family was also there. his neighbors the olivers that he loved that knew for so long, he had this whole family around him. and what was interesting about it, he took that same concept of honor to his family and really brought that to the senate. so when you traveled with him, yeah, you would have fancy dinners with ambassadors and heads of state but he would also always make sure that the group, including the staff would be together almost every night. so we could spend time together and talk about what happened. even though he spent his life traveling all over the world he always believed that there was no place like home. for him, that was his ranch in arizona. and that was not only because of the beauty around him, the oasis but also because that is the oasis he spent time with his family. >> thank you so much in spending your time with us this morning and reflecting on the loss of why are friend. our deepest condolences to you. >> thank you, jake. >> i want to go to ke

and mccain asked him personally, when they last met in april at his ranch in sedona, if he would deliver it's going to be i think a really powerful moment, and probably one of the toughest for biden to give himself, in it part not just because of their own relationship, but the relationship of bo biden, his late son, and john mccain. bo biden has cited john mccain as one of the reasons he enlisted in the armed services after 9/11, and that example of courage helped him as he was battling brain cancer himself in 2014 and 2015. of course when john mccain was diagnosed with cancer, the same cancer that killed bo, biden was a resource to the family. and what i've heard from those close to biden who have been with him this week in delaware as he's been working on his remarks is that he really wants to accomplish a few things. he wants to reflect of course on their personal relationship. i'm sure there will be a lot of funny stories about their battles over the years. he also wants to talk about the code that john mccain lived by, this idea of country first and putting the country above your p

we sat on his back porch in sedona under the desert sky replaying old times. john did things his way these last months. for his colleagues here, the time confirmed but sad the obvious truth. the senate won't be the same without john mccain. i think >> the senate will not be the same without john mccain.o it's fair to say that it is 30 s unsurpassed that in more than 30 30 years that the senator never mars failed with his razor sharp wit a big heart and of course his fiery spirit when john saw an found issue the same way you did it was the most tall wart ally and you would think your lucky stars because when you found yourself on the other side of the table as all of us have learned it was a different a different kind of unforgettable experience. never either way standing alongside a. john i found myself on both sides of that table over the years we iso stood shoulder to shoulder moste important issues to each of us and also disagreed entirely on subjects that help to define each of our careers. d he treated every issue with the intensity and seriousness of the

today on his 82nd birthday, a small group of his loyal friends i'm told were planning on being in sedonat of a farewell. of course, he died just a few days shy of his birthday. so that has a sense, talking to friends, how quickly this moved at the end of his life. but more than that, i think senator mccain would probably have a joke in this moment. he would wonder what all the fuss was about, but also he choreographed this specifically right down to, he's sending a message through everything we're going to see over the coming days here, through the speakers, the pallbearers, others and particularly the two former presidents, the 43rd and 44th presidents of the united states who will eulogize him. he was rivals to both of them, but i'm told he called both of them earlier this spring and asked them to be at his funeral, which we know now will be on saturday after this service here in arizona. wolf? >> yeah, he will be buried sunday at the u.s. naval academy. there will be a service here in washington at the national cathedral saturday morning. the motorcade has now arrived at the state cap

terry moran in sedona, covering what's been happening. you've talked to supporters, final thoughts as we wrap up. >> there's two things that come to mind, listening to my colleagues and looking at magnificent pictures. one, a life lesson, one, a country lesson. resilience, think of how much john mccain went through, how often he came back. went to war, baby one year old. came back, she was six, didn't recognize him. scared when he hugged her. he went through that, came out on the other end, positive about life. had a great political career and country lesson is the thing he was trying to teach us his last year. we don't have to be this way. don't have to hate on each other as much. in that clip where he talks to the woman who says she thinks barack obama is an arab and is scared, thing that's impressive is way he addresses her, with respect. no ma'am, no ma'am, today someone would scream at her, insult her. he was polite and corrected her in patriotism in which he lived. resilience personally and for his country, how he lived. >> will be
