>> cindy mccain: i'm still in disbelief that this actually has happened. you know, cancer chose the wrong guy because, there... it's not going to happen here. >> john mccain: how are you? >> stahl: determined to stay in the arena, senator mccain has resumed his duties in washington. you'd never know it, but he starts his days with chemo and radiation, and then heads to a full day of work, including chairing hearings of the armed services committee. >> john mccain: as leaders of our navy, you must do better. i am more energetic and more engaged as a result of this, because i know that i've got to do everything i can to serve this country while i can. >> stahl: now, you have the same cancer that ted kennedy had. does what he experienced go through your mind? is it... >> mccain: oh, yeah. i think about ted a lot. ted stayed at his job, kept working, kept going even when he was in a wheelchair. and he never gave up, because he loved the engagement. >> stahl: the senator first learned he had a problem in arizona back in july when doctors found a blood clot over

cindy mccain in our audience along with a number of distinguished guests. i'll now turn to senator nelson for his opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman. as we have this hearing today, there is an untold number of women and children in the u.s. that are being at this moment sold into sexual slavery via the internet. in just using a few clicks, victims from all walks of life and parts, all parts of the country, are being forced to endure brutal and unspeakable crimes. let me repeat. women and children are being forced into sex slavery in modern-day america, and it could very well happen to someone that you know. now, if that's not a wake-up call, then i don't know what is. and sadly, it's the truth that my fellow floridians tragically know all too well. according to the human trafficking hotline, florida ranks third in the country for the number of cases reported last year. the question before us today is simple. why aren't we doing everything we can to stop this heinous practice? after all, we are talking about modern-day slavery. and our children ar

concern that we needed to change the law and updated because there was no way anyone to include cindy mccain is going to allow a process to proceed that result in a $14 billion cost overrun in 2005. there's a lot of reasons for that but bottom line that's an aircraft carrier. and so my charge was before going to look at an authorization for another route, to update the law, not change it fundamentally updated and would submit to put more cost controls, greater transparency, and a bit more accountability into the process. and so that never came over from the department of defense. that really was a huge sticking point that we asked for improvement for the actual law, and those are not provided. you did have congress smith version of the brac conversation that does contain some of those cost controls, still working with my colleagues in the department, to what degree does can be carried out in that something we will need to take a look at moving for to see what actually gets authorized. but those major concerns really kept us from entertaining the idea of him and there is need to look at. the

mccain, always great to have you here. do not be a stranger. there's a seat for you any time you want. >> thanks. >> great to see you. say hi to cindy hurricane irma making landfall -- sorry, we're going to go to kyung lah in miami beach. what are you experiencing right now? kyung, can you hear me? >> reporter: sorry, it's a little confusing out here, jake. you'll have to forgive me. because what we're having out here is a hurricane. and we're starting to see conditions worsen pretty much the last time that i was with you, it didn't feel quite as bad as this. it certainly feels a little bit worse now, little bit harder to stand. it's hard to gauge what's happening with the trees because street signs. we have not seen any major flooding here, and we do want to stress, if you are in miami beach, you are on your own. there is no more police and fire out here to help you, jake. >> all right. thank you so much, kyung. alison, where is the storm now? >> it's officially made landfall over the keys. it did so at 9:10 this morning, now going back out over very warm water. so we don't expect this storm to change much in the next couple hours.

mccain" was named after my father and grandfather, i remember the ship launching ceremony nearly 25 years ago. and my wife cindy continues to serve as the ship's sponsor. so believe me, these tragedies are personal for me and my family as well and we share in your sorrow. my commitment to all of you, is that we will get to the bottom of these incidents. it's simply unacceptable for u.s. navy ships to run aground or collide with other ships and to have four such incidents in the span of seven months is truly alarming. this committee takes seriously it's oversight role. we will identify shortcomings, fix them, and hold people accountable. we will learn lessons from these vent tragedies to make the navy better and all who serve in it safer. i know our navy leaders share these goals and will work together with us to achieve them. to that end, i hope our witnesses will help the committee better understand what happened with regard to these incidents. we're interested in the status of investigations, common factors or trends identified, root causes, corrective actions, and accountability measures. we'd also like to k
