Sf follow that model that he set. If you want to be be more like john mccain. Announcer this is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. Senator john mccain will be laid to rest at the Naval Academy cemetery in anan police. It will be a private farewell for the man who lived so much of his life in the public eye. Yesterday, more than a thousand people crowded into Washington National cathedral for this Memorial Service that mccain planned in great detail. The funeral seemingly to have a unified message but excluding the current leader of the country. Here is cnns jeff zeleny. Reporter washington paid tribute and bid farewell to john mccain an American Patriot and politician. At the Washington National cathedral, a living tabloid of history a list of whos who leaders from all stripes and to say goodbye to john mccain. Mccains daughter meghan overcame with grief and emotion throughout the week spoke passionately about his father. We gather here to mourn the passing of american greatness. The real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who live lives of comfort and privilege. Reporter inside this cathedral, it was the first of several references to President Trump and his own brand of politics, her father reviled. American was always great. The funeral unfolded as a parting lesson and civility from mccain himself. To eulogize him he invited george w. Bush who won a bitter primary fight in 2000 and barack obama who prevailed in 2008. Amid moments of humor. From trouble making plea to president ial candidate. Reporter praise for mccains core believes. A various points throughout his long career john confronted policies and practices he believed were unworthy to his country. He would insist we are better than this. America is better than this. Phony controversies and manufactured outrage. The politics that pretends to be brave and tough, but, in fact, is born of fear. John called us to be bigger than that. He called on us to be better than that. While President Trumps name was never spoken his absence was an unmistakable undercurrent. Mccain made it clear he didnt want him there. The two men strained relationship goes back to the 2016 campaign when mccain insulted the military service, saying real american heroes arent shot down but the president s advisers were on hand. Ivanka trump and among others. The funeral was sent off with son with danny boy. Reporter his final resting place on a grassy hill at the u. S. Naval Academy Ceremony next to chuck larson, another veteran of the vietnam war. Jeff, thank you very much. You saw there that washingtons power players were at the funeral. The president , he spent the day tweeting and playing golf at his course in virginia. Lets go now to cnn Sarah Westwood who is joining us from washington. What is the white house saying about these obvious swipes at the president . Anything . Reporter so far, victor, the white house is not even saying whether President Trump watched the funeral yesterday, but in the evening, President Trump did tweet a single line make America Great again. That is widely perceived as a direct response to what Meghan Mccain said about the america of her father not needing to be made great again because it has always been great and this is a difficult week politically for the white house because many have criticized President Trump for what has been widely perceived as an inadequate ponce to the passing of senator mccain. Sources tell cnn the white house aides drafted a statement for the president to release after mccains passing, that did not happen. The president opted for a perfunctory tweet shortly after news of his death was public is a publicized. The staff was raised at halfstaff and President Trump chose to spend yesterday at the golf course. It was 153rd day on the links of his presidency and he spent the service tweeting, not in memory of senator mccain but about the russia controversy, about nafta renegotiations. As we know, victor, this is a president who often does not take criticism lying down. Thats true, indeed. Sarah westwood, for us in washington, thank you. So many takeaways from senator mccains funeral and the response from his fellow republicans. We want to bring in cnn political analyst julian zeleny. Do you get sense of the respect shown yesterday and the decorum that people were talking about, any sense that will linger in political realms . I think most people suspect that it wont, unfortunately. That the reality of politics and washington are very different than the spirit that was conveyed at his memorial all of the services of the week. In some ways that is senator mccains last wish. The forces of polarization and partisanship is much deeper than any of this smoceremony could erase. Its still an Important Message and to hear two messages from different parties convey the same themes. Not about whether the left or the right is right, but about the importance of our institutions working well and the importance of being committed to governance. I think that is still an Important Message and you have to hear it again and again, even if the forces of politics move us in a different direction. We know ivanka and Jared Kushner were there as we saw jeff zeleny point out. Do you expect we will hear from them as they heard it facetoface . Maybe there will be a few comments but its hard for them to get any space relative to the president of the United States who has made his voice loud and clear throughout the week. So maybe they will Say Something but i think the weight of the response at this point or the positions are coming from the president of the United States. I want to ask you about this moment. There has been a lot of talk in our newsroom about this moment because some people think if they had just passed some gum, people however, people online were moved by, do we have the video of this moment . Where, apparently, president bush pass a mint or something to first Lady Michelle obama. She said, thank you. And then williams tweeted this. I would like to think a moment like this is what mccain was hoping for. What is it about this friendship between these two that is so endaerg to peope endeering to people . It sos some humanity in our political system and people like to see that. They hear and watch and read so much about the divisions and the fighting that they almost become caricatures. Here you see a very human moment. One person passing a mint or a candy to another. Different administrations, different parties. But they could still share Something Like that. So there is value. As small as this is for people to see Something Like this, especially in our current era where everything has really moved in such a different direction. Yeah, because youre talking about people, as you said, who are on two completely opposite sides of the political spectrum. Absolutely. I want to ask you real quickly about some politics today. Sam patton, this washington lobbyist, he has a plea deal in the mueller case. He paid 50,000 for tickets to President Trumps inauguration and did so on behalf of a owe oligark. It seems it is put together by the parts of the political world who are trying to sway the election and on its own it doesnt implicate the president or anybody in his orbit but my guess this is part of a bigger por portrait that mueller is trying to put together and figure out what the connections were. We need to point out no indication that the president was involved in this but it is a moment because this is the first instance that we can see where the doj has publicly charged someone for a foreigner funnel money to an event. To the campaign. To an event, certainly. Julian zeleny, thank you for being here, sir. Thank you. We are learning more about attempts to attempts to turn an Russian Oligarch to a russian informant. The Justice Department worked to recruit this oligarch. Steele was involved in the effort. The times report that investigators were hoping for information from deripaska.

This is what is happening in and around des moines, iowa. It is allegedly happening because of the murder of molly tibia bits. Her family is joining the city of des moines to fight back. Polo sandoval is bus. This is exactly what the family has asked people not to do. A sense of nervousness particularly among members of the latino family in around and where Molly Tibbetts death occurred. City officials there tweeting not in our city along with images of officials there removing racist graffiti over the weekend. Also new reports of robo calls from an out of state White Supremacist Group that called the alleged murder of molly tibia bits, quote, an invader from mexico. President trump has blamed molly tibia bi tibbetts on the immigration laws. Word calling the report that the death of this young woman being politicized absurd. They are asking them to be voted out. What does the tibbetts family have to say about this . They are not only mourning the loss of their daughter but have to deal with this. Rob tibia bitbetts the father o young woman writing and asking molly not be the victim of anybody in this case. I want to read you a portion of what he wrote. Rob tibbetts saying the following. Mr. Tibbetts requested this after the discovery of his daughters policy asking the politicians and pundits simply not make not politicize his daughters death and here he is again, so its certainly something that the tibbetts family had to deal with in the past and here they are again pleading to the public, politicians and pundits as well to not include his daughters memory in the immigration debate. Yeah. He said he actually wrote the person who is accused of taking mollys life is no more a reflection of the hispanic family as white supremacist are of all white people. A profound oped.

Im christi paul. Im Victor Blackwell. The president didnt deny comments but he said he made them off the record in a bloomberg interview and then he called for an apology, even though bloomberg said they had nothing to do with the story. Now the reporter who wrote that story is backing bloomberg. Daniel day, washington correspondent for the toronto star, is with us now. Daniel, thank you for being here. It is a rare move to speak up about a situation like this. Why did you feel compelled to do so and what do you want to say . Well, i made a commitment to my source that i would protect the right of course, i continue to do so and i always will. But this is an extremely unusual case in that we have the president of the United States using this leak to smear the reputations of the bloomberg reporters, these publicly calling them liars and accusing them of violating their commitment to him when they didnt do that. I didnt want to let my story be used to smear journalists, my colleagues. I never met them but they are ethical. I thought i could still protect my source and making clear the bloomberg reporters had nothing to do with this. Have you heard from anybody at bloomberg . No. I asked them for comment originally and they said we respect our offtherecord promises. But i dont know these people personally and i havent heard from them since. Sure. We did talk with margaret talif of bloomberg yesterday about how this offtherecord remark was publicized and here is what she teled us. Told us. I have no idea. Bloomberg did not have any offtherecord and if bloomberg has any agreement with anybody, to have an offtherecord conversation offtherecord is offtherecord and we honor that. Bloomberg has only reported ontherecord comments that the president has made. The president tweeted out he cant believe bloomberg tweeted out a firm offtherecord discussion. Youre saying this wasnt bloomberg. You say this was a source of mind. Do you think an apology is necessary somewhere . I cant really say honestly. I mean, all i can say about this sort of thing is that it wasnt anybody of bloomberg who head a promise to trump that this would not be released. So youre saying that the person that he talked to, it was not made clear that it was off the record . No. Im saying trump did make clear that these comments were off the record. Im saying that trump is accusing the people who made that promise to him, that it would be off the record, of violating that promise and im saying that none of those people who made that promise to him was my source. Okay. President trump did tweet this. Because at the end of the day, this is all about nafta. He said no political necessity to keep canada in the new nafta deal if we dont make a fair deal with the new nafta deal. How about the public threats of pulling out of this deal may affect the private conversations that are being had . Well, the canadian strategy has been to ignore trumps threats. He has been threatening to terminate nafta since his campaign and repeatedly, you know, at various moments in the talks. The canadian strategy is basically to pretend trump isnt president and continue to engage constructively. I think it does have an impact when, you know, the canadian government finds out that he is saying privately that he is not going to compromise at all and at the very least he makes it harder for the canadian government to believe the u. S. Side is negotiateing in good faith and makes it harder, i think, for the canadian government to sell a deal to the canadian public when the president is bragging that he didnt give any ground to canada. So what is the future of this deal . Its so hard to say, honestly. I think there is still a lot of optimism in the Business Community and the canadian side something can get done. They are down to quite few issues, although they are significant issues so anything is possible with trump on any subject. He could blow up the deal, he could try to proceed only with mexico, but its, you know, all hope is not lost. Its still very possible that they will come to some sort of agreement.
