joining us now 1 tom ridge, former secretary of homeland security, he will serve as a pallbearer at theshington. governor, thanks for being with us. i wonder if you can tell us what that honor means to you? >> it's several days of celebration of a life well lived and much to be celebrated and frankly john and i met back in 1982, we were both elected to congress together. at the time there were very few vietnam combat veterans in the congress of the united states. i don't pretend to suggest this my time in service in southeast asia was equivalent to his. i'm sure at the outset he said something to me "i thought you harbor guys went to canada rather than southeast asia" or something like that. over the past 30 years we game great friends. it's something a cherish. it's a mystery to understand why i gained that respect and admiration for john but i will always be grateful. >> first of all i would note i believe you were honored with a bronze star for your service as a marine in vietnam so you served this country nobly and with honor. john mccain's service has also been well noted. one thin

them in bed and how the how can we use them and the while i'm not going to talk down early with tom ridge i didn't manage to have a hakuna i mean when i met were nice enough. to do and then getting ready to have. dinner and upset i had let fear but i'm such a fan for us because my luck for him at the have a guess who got her about then i am better than a match. but. found there is a door. that you. don't have any idea. who can look out for films and i sure shucks maybe she said it. but. while a phone model looks goetia do we were laid to our little piece of about such. a long no name umbrella over the bow by a tenner. leisure shown on a motor cars that. they're going to begin to ship the new computer and they're going to have a computer chip. and that evidence. and that is easy because you know they can. go. on october eighth two thousand and sixteen an air raid on sarno struck civilians gathered in this hall for a funeral the attack killed one hundred forty people and wounded more than five hundred. the ruins of the building testified to the ferocity of the bombing. that. the children to

i'm good and dear friend of dick cheney, i think he would govern very well, tom ridge, governor of pennsylvania who has done a great job in pennsylvania, fellow vietnam veteran and wounded in vietnam war as a sergeant. i think he would have been marvelous, i think that christy whitman would have been a very good candidate, i think we have a number of republican governors that also would have been, i think, qualified nominees as well. it's -- my own relationship with that issue is i've always felt that the vice president of the united states has two duties, one is to inquire daily as to the health of the president and the other is to attend funerals of third-world dictators. that's one of the reasons i was not interested. yes, sir. [inaudible] >> how did you feel about president johnson -- had he lived do you think he would have stopped war in vietnam? >> thank you for the question because i spent a lot of time after i returned from vietnam studying the origins of the war, all of the ramifications dating back to french level indo china, indo chinese relationship with china itself, because i was

. >> tom ridge, former governor of pennsylvania, former homeland securi security. wow. >> one of the other really moving images of the day was when the family was standing at the top of the capitol steps and cindy mccain was flanked by her two sons in uniform. it just reminds us of the legacy of service of the mccain family that has extended to yet another generation. >> we see the speaker of the house, the majority leader, the vice-president of the united states paying their respects right now. the vice-president representing the trump administration. >> just as we watch mitch mcconnell, one of the first big legislative fights i covered was campaign finance reform in the early 2000s. to see those two battle. purely, a really deep ideological opinion. mcconnell was convinced it was a hind hinderan hinder to free speech. watching them fight for years, i never thought that the two of them would be able to reconcile. not only did they reconcile, they did in a big way. mcconnell went to see him in arizona and talked about it. >> that's william cohen. he was a republica

beatty, michael bloom bloomberg, it looks like former senator gary hart and pennsylvania governor tom ridgejust shows that politics are not germane to friendships here. >> if anyone proved that, it was john mccain. many people didn't know he was friends with warren beatty until this list of pallbearers. and he was. he had an interesting friendship and relationship, we are told. he obviously didn't care about labels as far as a party label. if you were in his inner circle, you were in his inner circle and you heard it lindsey graham talking about that yesterday on the senate floor. i think what is going to come out are stories of friendships and outreach that you will not have heard over the next few days. senator john mccain could be pretty prickly at times, but he also could be extremely warm and definitely funny. he had a vague sense of humor f humor. >> we will get a lot of laughs i feel, which is how he would want the people to remember him honestly, authentically and with a lot of laughter and humor and smiles. >> gregg: what strikes me -- it's gregg jarrett. what a remarkable and marv

so much more, tom ridge. served his country honorably. >> how about those lines?neil: incredible. >> and respect, aretha sings it and john lived it. the lines put an exclamation point on it. it's about respect and civility. >> neil: and i like the way you joined the two. very much going on today. but in this case, i wonder, did the outpouring of emotion and obvious aren't surprise even you? >> yes. in fair comment, a great question, given the acrimony that you and i associate with the give and take of politics these days, when people's differences of opinion are demonized rather than respected, the fact that so many people have spoken so well of john and particularly the traits that they admired most. his civility, the ability to reach across the aisle, try to build relationships and use that as a foundation to achieve greater things for this country. at this time given how we're conducting politics, i'm amazed and grateful. the challenge, neil, all those that have given tribute and listed all of these wonderful qualities of senator john mccain, i think john would

he won the nomination, but the intensity and the fire inside him was really strong. >> tom ridge, a formerying goodbye there. bill bennett is still with us. your thoughts of the ceremony and what we're seeing here. >> very beautiful. i'm reminded for a state function how important faith and religion is to us still as a people. it's worth considering. i will say again when mike pence and karen approached, i wish the president had been invited. the president relented. i wish john mccain had or the family and invited the president. if you want this unification then the president of the united states should be there, whatever the fight that went on between them. i would like to quickly tell a story. by the way, i think it may turn out that it's not so much friendship with warren beatty is a big fan of the movies. he loved "bonnie and clyde." john mccain told me he bought my book of virtues and read it to every one of his children and that his favorite story, i think appropriate for now, is the selfish giant. a giant lives in a garden and a little boy appears and the giant welcomes when iminto

so i always felt from the day i met him -- i was introduced to him true congressman tom ridge who i hadylvania -- and from the day i met him, he called me johnny. we were friends. i found that he was really open, caring, hard working and an intentional listener. so when you had something to say that was important, he was there to listen and to care about what you had to say. >> john, i'm the wife of a politician, the wife of a congressman, so i know exactly what you're talking about the, that the staff often wants to be in the car because it's only time they can get his undivided attention. and really some personal moments with him. tell us a little bit, we're hearing about his legacy as a politician, as a statesman, as a military man, but what can you tell us about, john, about john mccain as the husband, the father, the friend? >> well, andy mccain's a friend of mine and cindy, deeply devoted to his family, that's for sure. you know, i'll tell you, i love those moments where the chips were down, where the chips were down either personally or professionally. i could tell you the story
