thanks, john. honestly, seeing him down range, i never traveled with a colleague who was better to our enlisted or harder on our generals. john mccain loved the men and women who served in the uniform of the united states, and he was a champion of our armed forces throughout his career. in every generation, there are those who put country first. who prize service ahead of self. who summon idealism from a cynical age. john mccain was such a man. today, he lies in the place where he served to the last, the congress of the united states. soon, he will go to rest on the grounds where he served first, the united states naval academy. the eyes of the american people will be upon him as he goes. and so, too, will their prayers. for him and especially for his beloved family gathered here today, and we will pray that those who mourn shall be comforted. so we mourn with those who mourn and we xwreeb with those who grieve but we do not grieve like those who have no hope. because john mccain like millions of a

john was immune to jet lag. and he was never more excited than we had an opportunity to share america's values abroad. and, of course, he was devoted to the men and women of our armed forces. from countless visits with deployed unit in iraq and afghanistan, to his committee meetings right here in this body, john honored their sacrifices in a way that only he could. he never forgot them but not with any segment of our military might and technical problems, our armed services made up of people, of our constituents, of volunteers, of the brave. john's favorite novelist ernest hemingway for whom the bell tolls. i suspect we will hear it quoted quite a bit in the days ahead. the lead character is an american ex-pat named robert jordan who risked everything in the spanish civil war. he's a little bit brash, maybe a little hotheaded. in fact, he is a dynamite specialist whose specially literally is blowing things up. he goes down fighting right down to the books final pages. i'm sure some of us can imagine why john mig

thank you, john. in all seriousness, senator mccain's leadership was vital in numerous authorization acts that have substantially improved care for service members and increased the capacity of our military to meet the myriad national security challenges we face. steady force in turbulent times in global afarmers the threats to our national security and the stability of the global order are more numerous and diverse now than way any point in our recent history. we should remain john's guidance that we live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil. we are the custodians of those ideals, at home and their champion abroad. he believed in an america that is united by its values, not divided by manufactured distrust and animus. most importantly, he emphasized a moral obstacles that we as americans carry to provide leadership in the world and serve as the beacon of hope, opportunity, and justice -- both here and across the globe. as a further reflection, i was always impressed by john's respect for coll

it was john mccain. i had made speech after speech on the subject, but when john mccain got up and spoke about the issue of torture, there was silence on the floor of the senate as we listened carefully. he proposed a resolution establishing humane standards of treatment, realizing that the humanity we showed toward our prisoners is the same humanity we expected if americans were taken prisoner, and his effort was enacted by the senate with over 90 votes, a strong bipartisan roll call. john mccain more than anything was a champion of the united states military. the men and women who serve in our armed forces. they never had a better friend. our nation's veterans and their families never had a stronger ally. he was a leader in the fight to curb the influence of special interests and politics and to make our government truly a government of, by, and for the people, with russ feingold and john mccain, they moved us toward what america is longing for, putting the special interests behind us, putting the peop

and sure enough, john mccain without the massive campaign operation, john mccain the maverick, john mccain on a ring and a prayer came back and he won that nomination. and i think that really -- it really epitomized the type of person he is. he was -- when you walk into his senate office, it wasn't cold or corporate. it wasn't like a lot of senate offices that you walk into. there was just a bustle of activity. and any time you went into to see the senator, you weaved through a thousand different desks and stacks of paper everywhere and people -- people roaming here and there. it was not the most organized office in the world. he was -- a constant -- he was just constantly in motion and constantly moving. i think the one time that i wanted -- i went into his office through the years where there was more of a silence and it was more contemplateive was when i saw him in february -- think it was february of 2017. and it is so interesting when i went to the hill, which i've been going to for 20 years. every time i went to the hill, i would have jesse rodriguez say who do you want to meet or wh

first, who was john mccain? john was a man deeply in love with his country and its promise. a man optimistic that tomorrow would be better than today and the man grateful for the chance to serve a cause greater than himself. his humor was rooted in that hopefulness, the sometimes sharp sting of his words in debate rooted in his passion for his cause and the love of the fight and his restlessness rooted in an impatience to get on with it, defending y, liberty or making a difference in the world, to help soften the burdens of millions not yet free. john was both a romantic and a cynic as some have said, with love and passion about the causes he fought for yet clear eyed about the long odds he often faced in our ideals. trying to summarize john, just reviewing a few of his titles fairly captures this complexity of this man. naval aviator, pow, captive, congressman, senator, chair of the commerce committee, chair of the armed purposes committee, presidential nominee of his party. hero. john also treasure deeply plto titles rarely mentionedhere . president and father. he clearly

that was john mccain. it was john mccain. but before that he usually would be working hard to get people to come to the table, recognize common ground, and truly be bipartisan. he wasn't an angel, and he wasn't a magician, but he was a real good senator. he really worked -- he respected the process. but something else that doug reminded me of. john mccain was a champion for democracy around the world. his role at the international republican institute where they helped to spread democracy around the globe was dramatic. he left such an important legacy of the importance of democracy as a governing opportunity where people have their voices heard. and he was a champion of that in the united states, but more significantly he made sure that the shining city on the hill, the united states of america, was a beacon of democracy to the rest of the world. he sacrificed a lot to spread that democracy, and he did it in a very challenging way in some very tough places around the world when he said, you're a selfish government, you should

john mccain had both. fortunately, all that intensity came paired with a world class sense of humor. as we all know, john really hated to lose. the line he used after his presidential campaigns still makes me laugh. some would ask how he's copying with defeat and john would say, actually, i'm sleeping like a baby. wake up every two hours and cry. seriously, it's hard to describe this larger than life figure without lapsing into what sounds like cliches. we've all heard our whole lives about the importance of patriotism and self-sacrifice. but we cannot take that culture of commitment for granted because just like our nation's security and our american liberty, the very notion that some causes really are greater than ourselves only survives because service members and statesmen like john mccain will fight and even die to defend it. the bond between john and his country was so deep, but of course other bonds ran deeper still. while john's colleagues grieve our own loss, we also send our love and support to t

thanks, john. honestly, seeing him down range i never traveled with a colleague who was better to our enlisted or harder on our generals. john mccain loved the men and women who served in the uniform of the united states and he was a champion of our armed forces throughout his career. in every generation, there are those who put country first. who prize service ahead of self. who summon idealism from a cynical age. john mccain was such a man. tod today, he lies in the place where he served to the last, the congress of the united states. soon, he'll go to rest on the grounds where he served first -- the united states naval academy. the eyes of the american people will be upon him as he goes. and so, too, will their prayers. for him. and especially for his beloved family. gathered here today. and we'll pray that those who mourn shall be comforted. so, we mourn with those who mourn. and we grieve with those who grieve. john mccain like millions of americans, held firm to that hope from an old hymn tha

john mccain was all of these things and many more. he passed away saturday night more than a year after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer, and this morning he is being remembered for his leadership, his courage and his honesty. he had a special bond with the american press corps and that's something we want to explore today on "reliable sources." mccain cultivated a relationship with reporters who covered his campaigns and covered his career in the senate. he knew our weaknesses, but he also knew the strengths of the american press and the importance of a pre press in society. today many journalists are sharing their reflections about his life and his legacy. cnn's dana bash said it really well earlier today. >> i want to say thank you, john mccain. thank you for teaching reporters like me who followed you around for a living how to be serious without taking ourselves too seriously. how to respect the political process as meaningful and not mean. and how to walk really fast in the capitol hallways which was the o

john mccain was a politician of sap. the patriot who believed in his country and fought for it at tremendous cost to himself. as a young navy pilot, he was shot down over hanoi, interrogated and tortured. his cap is sought potential propaganda, when his father became the commander of us forces in the unarmed and offered him released. butjohn mccain refused, despite the many beatings he had suffered. on his return, he was hailed as a war hero and entered politics. he would eventually spend 35 years representing republicans inside congress, but he was fiercely independent and often spoke out against the party, notably challenging the influence of big money on american politics. the party establishment will not finish me off anywhere. because i will break the iron triangle in washington of money, lobbying and legislation and they know would that would be very financially disruptive to many people ‘s lives at. would be very financially disruptive to many people 's lives at. he may have challenged washington, but he was res
