matthew, magtsd amy walter, national editor of the cook political report and mark leibowitz and author of the new book big game, the nfl in dangerous times. welcome all. let me just get right to it. i think susan glasser in the new yorker put it in an interesting way about the john mccain funeral service with the headline, john mccain s funeral was the biggest resistance meeting yet. she writes, mccain s grand funeral, the ohm baugh au adviser david axelrod called it an exercise in civic communicaton. it is more united in its currently may be seen in its hatred of donald trump. amy walter? i thought it was interesting you asked the question about this was sort of a memorial service for an era of politics. that is no longer with us. i would also argue that that era left us a long time ago, and that this world we are in, the tribalism, the polarization, the
hospit hospitals, which for many are hard to get, and clinics have to be built to the same standards has surgical centers. these are the restrictions states tried when justice kennedy was on the court. he joined with the liberals in striking them down. with him gone and justice kavanaugh there, we may see a change there. the core holding of roe may survive, but the court will chip away at when abortion can be legally available. that s the real issue on roe. a number of critical issues we ll all be watching closely. we ll see if the prep school preparations paid off. pete williams and geoff bennett, thank you so much for starting us off today. appreciate it. sure. keeping up appearances after a weekend s worth of calls for bipartisan cooperation as a way to honor the memory of john mccain, will the leaders from the senator s party listen? congressman peter king of new york joins us next. you re watching msnbc. stay with us. msnbc. stay with us to the junior prom with.
together with the other side. you know, if it can work out a worthwhile compromise. what bothered me a little bit, many of these politicians were saying how great john mccain was, and i agree, he was great, but many didn t come to his defense in 2008, when prominent democrats were implying he was a racist, comparing him to wallace. no one came to his defense. the national media ridiculed him supporting the surge in 2007 and 2008 in iraq. it was just a double standard here. that doesn t take away from the main point, that we should try to be bipartisan when we can be. the republicans are the majority party. if we can get arrangements for 7 70/30, 60/40 in agreements, we should take it. find some common ground. i guess the question becomes, for president trump, does he not need to be a leader in terms of
(crying, screaming) today is your day. crush it. angie s boom chicka pop whole grain popcorn. boom! before we go senator john mccain is being laid to rest today on the grounds of u.s. naval academy at 2:00 p.m. one theme from yesterday s memorial service was mccain loved to spar but he also believed in the right of a free press. here s president obama. john believed in honest argument and hearing other views. he understood that if we get in the habit of the bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy or democracy will not work.
i appreciate that she said a picture of her uncles. i feel like her uncle and my wife feels like her aunt. we love her really. yes. yesterday, i was a very proud uncle. to say the obvious, meghan is a daughter who had a very special close relationship with her father, john mccain. so he s gone. he s died. she s grieving and yet by the nature of his life she s called on to make a very public global statement appearance. very hard. but she did it. she did it magnificently. she did it the way her dad would want her to do it. you know what? she was direct the way john was. sometimes those around you are even more direct than you would be in a given situation. good point. god bless her. i was at the funeral yesterday. when i saw ivanka trump and jared kushner, i was surprised. i didn t know they were on the invite list. turns out senator graham, you were behind that? no. nobody that was at the funeral didn t get invited by the
