Welcome to sunday for a special edition of meet the press. Good sunday morning. He was a warrior, a politician, statesman and maverick.

And want to bring in kelly ayotte who was on the Armed Services committee traveled around the world many times with john mccain. Senator, youre thoughts about john mccain and how this lion of the senate and great leader of the Armed Services committee brought a new senator into the fold and what he taught you. Andrea, just what a tremendous loss for the country, and what he taught me, he was my dear friend. He was a mentor. He was such a tremendous leader on national security. As you know, everywhere in the world that he traveled he was so well received and he was tough on leaders that needed it. They needed tough love. John taught me really the things that i will remember the most, he actually taught me in the senate but he also recently repeated it to me when i saw him at his ranch in the spring.

Arizonians, thank you for the privilege of serving you and for the rewarding life, the service in uniform, and in public office, has allowed me to lead. I tried to serve our country honorably. I have made mistakes but i hope my love for america will be weighed favorably against them. I have often observed that i am the luckiest person on earth. I feel that way even now, as i prepare for the end of my life. I have loved my life, all of it. I have had experiences, adventures, friendships enough for ten satisfying lives, and i am so thankful. Like most people, i have regrets. But i would not trade a day of my life in good or bad times for the best day of anybody elses. I owe the satisfaction to the love of my family, one man has never had a more loving wife or children he was prouder of than i am of mine. And i owe it to america to be connected to americas causes, liberty, equal justice, respect for the designate it ignity of. Brings hopeness more sub lime than lifes fleeting pleasures. O

Again, we dont have all the details, but i can tell you that lig lighthizer, essentially wanted to force more domestic car production. We still dont know if thats what they got at the end of the day. We know that this was a deal to modernize nafta. Its a 24yearold trade agreement. I dont think anybody disagrees with the fact that it needed to be modernized, brought up to speed for the digital age. But what did the u. S. Really get out of this . The president , i foundi it interesting, did focus on farmers and the fact that mexico will buy more agricultural product from the United States. But how much, will it offset all the pain that theyre feeling from those other tariffs that theyre feeling from other countries. Christina, thanks. Stephen, put this into context for us as well. What are your thoughts on what this really is and what the impact is. Well, its
News. Late reporting there the Washington Post on the possible fate of Jeff Sessions, attorney general of the United States and the president s longtime personal punching bag. According to the post, the president has in recent weeks privately revived the notion of firing him. This follows reporting on friday from cnns jim acosta, and there is new urgency now because of what senator Lindsey Graham said about sessions earlier today. And i supported jeff from the very beginning. He is he has always been a friend. Its not about the lack of friendship.
