8:02 am
by blue buffalo. i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell and bianna golodryga of yahoo! news. gayle is off. republicans and democrats are showing support this morning to their longtime colleague john mccain. >> the 80-year-old senator has an aggressive form of brain cancer. doctors discovered the glee oh palace toma during surgery for a blood clot last week and he's recovering at home in arizona. >> senate minority leader chuck schumer called mccain a true fighter and his close friend senator lindsey graham said this disease has never had a more worthy opponent. >> our dr. david agus is one of the country's top oncologists. he leads a westside cancer center. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> help us understand this brain cancer. >> glioblastoma is
8:03 am
aggressive form of brain cancer. median survival or most people live about 14 1/2 months, but for the first time there's actually new optimism. but john's initial therapy, senator mccain's initial therapy would be standard, i would think, which is oral chemotherapy and radiation therapy for six weeks, a month off and then six more months of oral chemotherapy. >> explain the physiology. why is this cancer so difficult to treat? >> he had surgery above his left eye where the tumors were taken out. the margins were clear. there were no true mores there. the problem is there's little projections like tree branches grow. this cancer rekerrs in almost all patients. >> he's said to be recovering well this morning, but what are the odds we'll see him back at work in washington? >> the treatment is
8:04 am
he's 80 years old. as everybody alludes to, he's tough as nails. cancer has a worthy opponent and he's going to take it on. but i would imagine his treatment can be in the washington, d.c., area and he could be part of the senate during his treatment. >> with's on the front tier for trying to treat this brain cancer. what can we expect in the future? >> right now they're sequencing the dna of his cancer to identify what are the on switches. there are drugs to turn them off. but i think the major excitement comes from a study out of duke university where the polio virus was used to turn on the immune system to attack glioblastoma with this form of cancer. some have survived many years with this form of treatment. it's in clinical trials but certainly very exciting. >> how do you have access to that a
8:05 am
>> it's now spreading across the country. they're hoping. unfortunately nothing really works ul f the time. we don't have a crystal ball, but as much as possible we try to put patients on experimental therapy when standard treatments have worked. and, really, for the first time there's hope in this disease that we can achieve a long-term benefit for some of these patients. >> we're rooting for the senator and wishing him the best. dr. agus, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> many learn of his diagnosis during a meeting on health care that lasted well into the evening. they told them to keep working to replace and repeal obamacare. he said they must not leave for recess without taking action. mitch mcconnell said there will be a vote next week.
8:06 am
they say that would leave 32 million more without coverage and the premiums could double. >> john thune, chairman of the republican conference, that makes him the third ranking republican in the senate. senator thune, always good to see you. >> thanks. good to be with you. >> let's begin with your colleague senator john mccain, how is the news of his brain cancer affecting everyone in the senate? >> the diagnosis made this an incredibly sad day on capitol hill. he's a hero to me and all of our colleagues and millions of americans and literally people all of the world, so we're all hoping and praying for him and s cyndi and his family. >> he's relentless. he's a warrior.
8:07 am
he's a remarkable individual. >> he's well spoken in the senate in terms of his abilities as a warrior as you said. can we turn to health care and where we stand today? >> right. charlie. at the moment we are trying to get 50 votes. we know markets have been collapsing and prices have been skyrocketing in the country and something has to be done. the one thing that's become very clear is that a one size fits all isn't going to work. that i tried to define in ned fed real law what health insurance is and i think what we're hearing from our members is every state is different. every state has different ideas. i think anything that's effective and ultimately passes the senate is going to have to distribute and shift aut
8:08 am
to the states. >> president trump said you're very close to getting something done. a is that how you would character rietz it? >> i think we need a little longer runway. we're getting close, but we have issues we have to resolve and we have members who aren't quite there yet. >> the public is pressuring you not to go on vacation and take your recess. one day he's saying repeal it. another he's saying repeal and replace it. your senate colleagues says the senate scares no one in the senate, not even the pages. what is your reaction to that? >> look. i think the president has an important role to play. he's got the bully pulpit and his role is with the american people and he's engaging with why it's important to replace it. i think he looks to him for leadership in that respect.
8:09 am
the senate has the responsible to act and we should be held accountable. >> does this make it difficult foryour former colleague jeff sessions from alabama, the attorney general, to continue when the president says what he says? >> i guess what i would say to that, charlie, jeff session, we ul admire and respect him. if i were him, i would just do his job, do his job well and ignore "the daily news" cycle coming out of the white house. i don't think that's going to change. he's got an important job to do and he has the confidence of people on capitol hill and folks at the justice department and that's what's most important. >> do you have concerns about the meeting that president trump has had with russia president vladimir putin?
8:10 am
longer than expected, two hours, where there was no note taker only the secretary of state to provide the readout and then the second meeting and conversation that happened at a dinner. do you think that's appropriate should there be others who help report those conversations? >> i think it's probably always good for the president to have his top advisers, foreign policy advisers in the meeting room. i don't think it's unusual for a president to have conversations with foreign leaders. we should expect that. but obviously there's a lot of attention being paid and the president has to be sensitive to that, but i certainly would expect in most circumstances that he would have those people in those meeting who are going to be critical to shaping foreign policy in russia and over places around the world. >> there are concerns about his relationship with vladimir putin. senator john thune, thank you so much for jng

8:35 am
first it was a crime drama. there probably are more crime networks and crime shows on than any other type of show. second, it was celebrity indeed. and we americans have always been fascinated by celebrity. and then you have to throw in as well the energizer of race. when those three components were thrown together, clearly it struck a chord with many americans. >> do you ever think a.j. simpson will speak to what happened? >> i'm not sure, charlie, he'll ever speak to what happened in 1994, but he may talk about things that were going on since his most recent conviction in nevada. >> but that's not what they want to hear. >> i don't think he'll ever give a sitdown concerning that. he was acquitted of those charges that were part of his past and
8:36 am
be a fascination about that, i don't think they'll ever sit down and discuss that even now. >> simpson received a maximum sentence of 33 year and some say that was pay back for his acquittal in the 1994 double murder case. do you agree with that? >> i do. i am one of those that thinks certainly there was a connection, although the judge would deny it from the sentence that was given as well as what happened in los angeles. you've got to understand the verdict in that case was 13 years to the day. october 3rd, that there was the verdict in the los angeles trial. the 33-year sentence mirrored the $33.5 million that was against him in the several trial. e don't think that was a coincidence and i think it was really a tragedy that he was punished for what happened in los angeles. >> do you still talk to o.j. simpson in. >>av
8:37 am
talk with him for more than ten years. the last time i saw o.j. was at johnnie cochran's funeral in april 2005. one of the speakers there had asked anybody who had ever been represented by johnny to stand up. i looked to the church to my right and there was o.j. simpson and a few rows away was michael jackson standing as well. it was a scene to remember. >> carl, do you think at the time of the trial there was much written or said about whether african-american communities saw him? is there a difference today how different communities see o.j. simpson? >> you know, i think, charlie, that the distinction between the opinions of the white community and the black community are far closer today 22 years later than they were in 1995. i dare say that i would suspect that probably a majority of
8:38 am
african-americans would probably believe that o.j. simpson was responsible for the two deaths. those numbers were far smaller back 22 year aeld. we were speaking with rikki klieman earlier, our legal analyst. she said o.j. semson still has plenty of money, he has a huge pension. >> my understanding is, yes, he gets $25,000 a month from his pension with the nfl. i think there's another pension he gets from the scre screen & actor's gild. i hope he uses and spends that money well and he's not strapped for cash. >> yeah. rickie sa rikki said they're protected from the goldmans. >> yes, it is. they're protected by florida law and can't be used to pay back verdicts against him. >> what do you expect he'll

he's 70 years old. >> the first thing he's going to want to do if he's able to be paroled to florida, which was his home, he's first, i'm suring going to reconnect with his family. he's the father of four children. i suspect he'll seek a little female attention and then go back to golf. i'm not sure if his body will portray him, but i'm sure he's going to want to be back and have an tev role in handling golf. >> carling after all these years is there one question you wish you could ask about o.j. simpson? >> you know, i probably have all the answers to questions i've had over the 22 year. i've had more than enough time to rack my brain. there's not one question i would want to ask o.j. today. >> all of them for sure. >> all right.
