john mccain is running for reelection. for reelection, lurching to the right. people are sick and tired of this. >> let's talk about this. >> they're staying left. the only interesting moment he had. he asked debbie wasserman-shultz the different between a democrat and a republican. >> what is the difference? i used to think there is a big difference. what do you think it is? >> what is the difference between a democrat and republican? >> what is the difference between a democrat and socialist. what is the difference between you and a socialist? >> the debate we'll be having over the course of the debate is what is the difference between a democrat and a republican. >> what is the difference? >> i think the democrats are more marxist. we know who they are. obama i think, is even further left than that. >> you go through the problems we're facing and how we're destroying this country, and who did it. you name names. then you say that your last book you talked about the liberty amendments. in this book you talk about a new c

nothing good to say about any of his rivals including the former contender john mccain. why is he going down well with people? prof. ceaser: he behaves like a bully. what is attractive is people see him as someone not part of the political class. a lot of republicans are sick and tired of the political class. he plays up on that. he also plays up on the fact he is rich. instead of regarding that as something to be ashamed of, he puts it up front. that it shows i can get things done. so he is appealing to a spirit of frustration. whether this continues is the question we will see this evening. laura: he made some interesting comments on twitter. he congratulated the other candidates for going to the koch brothers, insinuating they are having to take donations from them. do you think that is a plus for trump? he is not dependent on donors? prof. ceaser: the rich have used to that a little bit. you can trust me, i can't be bought. it is a way of showing this independence. i think he is playing that cardwell. these things are not going to be serious in a presidential campaig

john mccain did not have it. mitt romney did not.t does not affect that many women in the country, but the polls are clear in this issue, thishese guys taking position, hillary clinton wants to be on offense, and there is a rumbling that she is not doing very well on some issues, and the reason is jeb. his campaign thinks that this position would be lethal in a general election. been part of the reason they have lost five of the last six votes, and she will win the women's vote if she is the democratic nominee, but this is a huge goal of hers going over, and you are obviously right. the planned parenthood issue i think is on her side. 50% on heris 100 side. this is a crazy position to be in. mark: even in the press issue yesterday where he said he did not support exceptions for women who have abortions who are victims of rape or insects, that he went over the line enough for her to seize on it, and her calling him a much younger man is filled with meaning, complicated reading. and the rubio opinion is ba characterized in many differe

in a statement, john mccain said: >>> the fighting in syria claims more lives. today a syrian army jet slammed into a marketplace in idlib province conducting air strikes on rebel forces. the crash killing 27 people and injuring dozens more. it was not clear what caused the crash. secretary of state john kerry met with leaders of the gulf cooperation council in qatar, and is trying to reassure allies that the nuclear agreement with iran will make the region safer. it was said that troirn will be -- tehran will be easier to deal with if it can't build a nuclear weapon >> we focused exclusively on iran's nuclear programme and the potential of iran. therefore, it was resolved a nuclear deal. without any understanding or expectation of what would flow from iran with respect to the region >>> after the meeting, gulf leaders offered a cautious endorsement of the iran deal. kerry is in singapore to deliver a speech on u.s. trade and investment. >> former president jimmie carter is recovering after liver surgery, he said it was to remove a mass from his liver. the 90-ye

because i can't wait. >> reporter: but john mccain is along for a nostalgic return to the heart of new hampshire politics. the town hall meeting. >> mr. trump said he had a very good relationship with vladimir putin. i'm proud to have been sanctioned by vladimir putin. >> reporter: two come from behind wins in a new hampshire gop primary in 2000 and 2008. today he urged voters to give graham, who is lagging behind in polls, the same long shot chance. >> tell the others all around, say, go see lindsey graham. >> reporter: in an exclusive interview with nbc news, mccain and graham talked strategy. >> show up, take every question, be insulted. whatever it takes to get your message out. >> reporter: both weighed in on hillary clinton's candidacy and reports that joe biden may still be considering his own run. >> i think that he sees think trust factor of hillary clinton in a steep decline. and i think that he's examining his options. frankly, it's understandable that he would be. >> one thing, she is not going to be able to tell the american people, trust me. >> reporter: both graham and m

had it not been for some really nasty campaign stuff, john mccain may have beaten george w bush, and then perhaps mccain is the nominee. but john mccain came close. >> yes, sir, history is on the professor's side. chances are he won't win the nomination, but i am telling you don't sleep on this guy, he is connecting in ways that have pundits scratching their heads. he has touched in an anti-establishment sentiments, and think about this for a second. he wins iowa, hypothetical, comes to new hampshire and wins there. who will stop him then? >> i think that's exactly the motto, when you look at bernie sanders on the democratic side, he is winning new hampshire now, if he pulls enough in iowa, and if joe biden is in the race siphoning off the support from hillary clinton, it seems like the odds of bernie sanders pull a upset increase? >> i wouldn't underestimate the people you are writing off, when you talk politics they write off young new americans lookenning at muslim communities. people that often feel office troy sized. we are not all about the bushes and the clintons and all this a

who do you like better to the veterans, john mccain or trump? i swamp him in the poll.ast thing with fox, i love roger ales but all you have to do is ask him who won. >> not the only candidate at the iowa state fair this weekend but was the only one to arrive like this. he landed at the airport in des moines and took his private helicopter to a site near the fire grounds. once there, he took questions by the press surrounded by local children who gathered for chopper rides. trump rolled out his point by point approach on immigration on "meet the press." >> not doing great. >> let's see they have the money. they will pay for the wall. they're sending drugs and they're taking money out. they're making a lot of money. mexico is making a lot of money. i'm a big fan of mexico. i'm a huge fan of the mexican people. i have thousands of mexican people working for me now and have over the years but they have to pay for the wall. we need the wall. do you know ten years ago, hillary and everybody wanted a wall? now they say it's too expensive. now they say it's too expensive. >> y

not just the consulting comments about mexicans, about john mccain and war veterans and christians and women. every single time, this will kill him, but it doesn't because the voters like, as reid said, that he doesn't respect any conventional boundaries and he'll tellis -- it like it is. gwen: i do think that heidi klum is going to take them down. let's talk about the granular stuff. we did get a little policy this week. on the birthright citizenship question, we saw scott walker, who used to be the leader in iowa say ah on one hand and on the other hand is that a -- an example of a clear position that people could take that people are now scared to take if it means opposing or offending donald trump? >> you'll offend trump and his supporters and you set yourself up for problems in the general election, something that scott waublinger remains conscious of. he's tried to emphasize his conservativism but just enough to leave the idea of being a crossover artist as the nominee. the flip side is bush, whoa sticks to his principle, which has been no, i don't agree with that. he's always ha

bush, passionate, conservative, but john mccain, sort of edgy, tell it like it is. as you all know, that can play well. the danger for kasich, is he walks the very line of edgy and toes it and you're kind of worried that maybe at some point if a voter gets in his face, it may not be pretty. >> up next, joe biden, al gore? maybe it's better to ask which prominent democrats are not looking at hillary clinton's poll numbers and then taking a second look at the 2016 race. first, though, politicians say and eat the darndest things especially if you're aet the state fair especially chowing down something fried. that's a way to make nice with the iowa voters. >> it's the best pork chop on a stick i've ever hachltd it's really, rt good. >> one more bite. >> that was a snickers bar done the right way. making your own way can be pretty, well, bold. rickie fowler is redefining what it means to be a golfer. quicken loans is doing the same for mortgages. quicken loans. home buy. refi. power. official mortgage sponsor of the pga tour. dso at gnc, why do we do it?st quality nutrit

then he went after john mccain's war heroism. john mccain not very popular among the conservative base because of positions he's taken throughout the years. people thought oh, no, you know, this is it. donald trump's finished. no, he got stronger and stronger, became the front-runner after that. and i don't know that these comments, even though they are targeting a popular figure with conservatives, that is megyn kelly of fox news, i don't know that these comments are going to hurt him either. because it does feed in to this narrative that trump and his supporters believe, which is that the establishment is against him. the establishment is out to get him. so, i guess we'll see what he has to say in a few minutes. but i'm also interested in seeing is this going to have any impact on his support? >> yeah, and trump just one of three gop candidates you have on the show today, right? >> that's right. there are, just in case anybody was wondering, 16 other republicans running for president. we will have two of the others, people who

and he just kind of like -- >> when he said -- okay, john mccain, whatever you think about john mccain as a political figure, five and a half years as a prisoner of war and was offered the chance to get out and said, "no, i don't i don't care what you believe. john mccain's war record and not have anything but admiration for him. donald trump does it, and takes no hit in the polls. >> seth: yeah. it's just amazing. >> the one nice thing about it -- i mean, it's astonishing -- but the one nice thing about it is that when you cover big time national politics, there's almost never something totally unpredictable, you know? in this case, like that debate's going to happen. like is he going to pull his pants down? [ laughter ] >> seth: right. >> is he gonna pull somebody else's down? is he going to bite the head off a bat? you know, like, what else can happen. >> seth: i think -- my prediction is he brings out a nicer, bigger podium. [ laughter ] ppp it's just like a little taller. >> right, or the girls who hold the ring numbers or the round numbers in boxing -- he'll like bring them on to

john mccain and i begged him not to. everything we said has happened. it is hard, democracy is hard. look how hard it is for us. you expect these people to get everything right in 10 or 15 years? it won't happen. he was told by all of his advisors, you need to help the free syrian army while assad is on the rope, a no-fly zone. he said no thank you. he said isil is the j.v. teal. he drew a red line, and everybody thinks we are all talk. you need more troops in iraq. i have been to iraq and afghanistan 35 times. i ask you to make me commander in chief. you need somebody who knows what they are doing. i have been a reservist. it will not be easy. we're going to have to go from 3500 to 10,000 to get iraq in a good spot. if you don't deal with syria we'll be hit here. it's the perfect platform to attack us. there is no ground component in syria. we spent $5$00 million to train 60 people. i would go to the turks, to egypt, to jordan, i would go to saudi arabia and say we're going to take your armies and integrate our forces in your armies and you will pay fo

saying s john mccain what an outrage. host: senator mccain spent 1/2 years in prison in vietnam.ack to vietnam history. your involvement start in vietnam. ere's the man who invented the institute of policy studies. he participated in a panel of cool group of people in vietnam in may of this year. watch this. >> there's certain things that be very happy about, first of all, that we're all together. amen. [ applause ] all, that you should always hire a good goodse if you don't have a awyer, we are about to lose, you're in trouble. need street heat, and by street heat, you need to the le to organize from treet to get people in their offices to hear what is going on in the streets. dialectic, e's this f you will, between those two relationships and that dialectic basis on which real change can occur. not forever, never forever. not for 10,000 years. give us two generations and let and let us at least move a tiny bit further ahead. host: he worked for george bundy. national advisor of kennedy. he started the institute of studies. were you there? i was. host: it was moderated. guest: i

unfair but you yourself and i know you for a long time and i want you to be honest you do think john mccaina hero. i know you do. >> i do. and by the way i said it i actually said it four times i said it immediately after i went off staining because i was asked that question. >> there is no debated about john mccain's heroism. he is an american hero. >> you mentioned iran. would you mention the nuke deal with iran. >> i would make a deal but not that deal. that deal allows them to do practically whatever they want. wait. the inspections are requesting to be a disaster. if you look what's going on with this lack of negotiation right now. as sure as you are sitting there iran is doing nuclear. >> what do you do with them? >> personally i would put on the sanctions big league. i would double up and triple up the sanctions and make a deal from strength. look, the biggest problem that the world has rights now is nuclear weapons. global warming is not our big problem. our big problem is the maniacs controlling weaponry that has never been like it is today. very important to make nuclear deals but

his comments about john mccain didn't do it. ron is there any reason to believe this assault on megyn kelly and his whining about the debate will hurt? some think it might actually help? >> i don't know. one thing i know is republican establishment has nothing to do with this. this is up to the voters. his voters have a real and justified reason to be upset with the political establishment. they have a real and justified reason to be anxious about where we are in these times. and they're going to outlast -- that anger is going to outlast donald trump and go somewhere outside of the system and hopefully change politics, either for the better or for the worse. this anger is not going to go away. now let's talk about donald trump. this is a man who is a -- an intolerant bully. a shallow man who has built his business on bankruptcies, and paying off politicians. this is not a man who should be president of the united states. >> well, you say that. we come into this and i get your point but we came into this-he came into the debate w

we saw it after the john mccain comments. this is going to be the end of him. all republican haves an excuse to pile on donald trump. watch the poll numbers collapse. this is still a little bit early but we have three bits of evidence in these polls that are coming out today that at least in the immediate aftermath of this debate, donald trump did not go down at all. >> we see a solid base of support for him and the people that support him are anti any establishment. somebody gets in a fight with anybody perceived to be the establishment whether the media or another candidate reinforces their belief in him. you know, on the megyn kelly issue, it will be interesting to watch her show as jonathan was saying and see what she says tonight. if donald trump behaved this way, we could call that harassment and it's got to be a point that it's particularly ugly and i can only say that i have tremendous respect for her for not engaging in it. >> here is my question with this fox news trump relationship. who is more scared of who here? typically the republican candidate w

brian: john mccain spent five years in prison in vietnam. back to some vietnam history.ot of your involvement in antiwar stuff started with vietnam. here is marcus raskin, who invented the institute of policy studies. he is now 81 years old. a panel discussion of people who were antiwar in vietnam. watch a little bit of this. thatere's certain things we should be very happy about. first of all, that we are all together, and that -- [applause] all, that you should always hire a good lawyer. [laughter] don't have a good lawyer, you are in trouble. is, you need street feet. you need to be able to organize from the street, to get people in the offices to hear what is going on in the street. so there's this dialectic, if you will, between those two relationships. that dialectic becomes the basis upon which real change can occur. not forever. never forever. not for 10,000 years. give us a few generations and let us begin again. let us move a tiny bit further ahead. brian: as you know, he worked for george bonnie, who was an adviser to kennedy and johnson. didn't get along over

when john mccain, when donald trump was critical of john mccain in iowa a few weeks ago, said john mccain was not a war hero because he was a p.o.w. ted cruz was very careful in his criticism of trump. some would say ted cruz is trying to appease the trump supporters and perhaps if trump were to drop out of the race, then ted cruz would perhaps get some of that support for his candidacy. >> mark preston reporting for us thank you very much. bring us the latest developments as they happen. things are moving very quickly there today. we want to talk more about this and donald trump taking to twitter, trying to clarify what he meant in his comments in that interview with don lemon last night about megyn kelly. joining me to talk about it morehouse college professor, mark lamont hill and radio host and cnn political commentator, ben ferguson. marc let me begin with you and your tweet. you tweeted this. there is a difference between political correctness and basic decency. >> look i don't want to police what people say. i don't want to police people's speech. but sometimes now, the language of

i want you to listen to what senator john mccain is saying and give us your view of this. senator mccain: have we have wely lost -- completely lost our sense of any moral caring and concern about thousands and thousands of people who are murdered, who are made refugees, who are dying as we speak? and the secretary of state says that we should not like our hair on fire. and what does the president had to say today? the president of the united states today says, well, well, it's climate change that we have to worry about. i'm worried about climate change. do we give a damn about what is happening in the streets of ramadi and the thousands of and the and the people innocent men, women and children who are dying and being executed and their bodies burned in the street? brian: he sounds a little bit like you. phyllis: please. brian: concerned about people and refugees. phyllis: this is the same senator john mccain whose recipe for what to do about iran, for instance, was not to support a solution that is based on negotiations rather than war. his solution was the very clever bo

mccain, john mccain and the establishment in washington has treated the vets so badly. you know, two weeks ago on wednesday, they had the longest wait in the history of the veterans administration. if you're waiting for a doctor, they waited for a longer period of time. and i'm talking about days. you go to a doctor and wait 20 minutes and you're upset. right? >> right. >> they're waiting days and days, sometimes six days, seven days. in one case they waited five days, and when he finally got to a doctor, he said i'm sorry, i'm going on vacation now. we can't let that happen to the vets. i equate john mccain with the vets. he's one of the people in charge and he's done a very poor job. and the last incident we won't even discuss, but i don't think i said anything wrong. >> let me ask you, you keep talking about leverage as it relates to the third party issue. let's assume you're treated fairly in the process. you didn't win the nomination. at that point, you would support the republican candidate. >> that's true. that's true. now i'd also like to see a candidate that i

in the first place jim made the point that john mccain slices on record which had elements of distinction by nominating a person to be vice president who is clearly unqualified to be president. the only thing you can say if you get to be a presidential nominee you have an absolute obligation to pick someone to be the vice president who can take over. when an ex-president is elected, inaugurated i will be almost 77 years old. there's no way someone who is was nearing 80 would be in a position to become president. i've seen too many great people, mostly men, stay beyond when it made sense and the problem is i've seen some the most able distinguish people i ever saw in politics become pathetic i staying too long. beyond that though someone said would you support or elizabeth warren and 16 and i said yes. i would support are very intelligent decision not to run for president. she is an extraordinary force for good stuff. it would allow people to criticize her for her motives. right now someone wants to argue they have to argue on the merits of the legislation and she's very bright and well-in

you helped john mccain, mitt romney, lots of others. at the republican field and take lindsey graham out of the conversation. in terms of raw skill and if you were going to pick someone to be your pupil, because they would have a dominant force, who would that be? >> marco rubio. he is very well spoken, knowledgeable on issues. it is essential to go against hillary clinton. he is extremely talented. .ery coachable people like him when he talks. >> the foxnews moderators have a very thin line. it could be an unwinnable situation. would your advice be to the moderators if you are coaching them? see their job as getting them to mix it up. and i think their job should be to get to know their positions or issues. the last debate was substantive edit did not start that way. there were a few questions that were demeaning, in my opinion. thesee you up on stage? are people of a congressman running for president of the united states. it's our business to find out what they stand for, why, and how to move the country forward. : these debates are d

john mccain said we didn't invite you john kerry, to the hearing you.n so we'll welcome you here, and it was fascinating, actually to be in that hearing to hear the people like john mccain grilling john kerry, ashton carter, martin dempsey, about why -- how terrible this deal with iran is, and i said it now three times on the program. i hope your listeners don't get teared of hearing it. he was wrong on iraq. he wanted to bomb iran. back in 2006, 2007. he met the jobe, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb, bomb, iran. it wasn't funny then. it's not funny now. it distress me that people like him are in such powerful positions when they're responsible for the destruction of iraq, the deaths of thousands of our soldiers and let's say it and say it clearly the creation of isil. >> host: donald on our facebook page presents you with a choice: in your opinion which would we more preferable, the u.s. using several bunker buster bombs to destroy iran's nuclear bomb missile program or new york city being entirely destroyed by a single nuclear tipped missile sent by iran's dict

john mccain is praising the u.s.'s decision to get more involved but says it is not enough.th to his criticism? >> well mccain has wanted -- mechanic cane and a lot of his colleagues have wanted us to get more involved in the fight against isis not only in syria, but in -- in iraq so therefore, he would like to see us take the offensive. he would even like to see some american ground troops there with these troops that we have trained. it's -- that's not going to happen. at least as long as president obama is in office. in fact it took him a month even to allow this defensive, you know operation to occur. and as i say, it's much more so question get recruits, because if they feel they don't be protected they might not go in or a lot have already defected? >>> the suspect wanted in the shooting death of memphis police officer is in custody. he turned himself in. he is accuseded of shooting the officer several times after he apparently interrupted a low-level drug deal. police say he was an ex-con on supervised release. he is now facing a charge of first degree murder. >>> thr

but this poll was taken in the week following those remarks about senator john mccain. what could he do to tarnish his image with voters because those are not even having an impact and he is going up in the polls >> trump said i am not prepping for the debate. this is me and i don't change my answers on polling. that is true. i don't see donald trump changing his style on thursday night. what i do envision is the rest of the candidates on that stage one hoping he blows up and two ganging up on him. >> i think they'll need to be noticed. scott walker needs to attract attention. and rubio and rand paul where are they? they vanished. i think people are trying to see if they can shine enough people will be able to take their eyes off donald trump and pay attention to what they are saying. one weakness on trump's part is specific. he talked in generality and a lot of conservatives are seeing if he can bring policy specific do is the table. >> with that many people on the stage i would advise donald trump not to get specific but with that mean people on the stage he will have

he attack john mccain for being a p.o.w. what will hurt this guy? if they love all that, what will it take to bring him back down to earth? >> you compare his favorability ratings with jeb bush. his unfavorability has gone up 8 points from a month ago. that can't be good news for the campaign. >> it can't be good news for the campaign. they have decided to wage a tortoise and hare campaign. i think we are going to see something of a shift in the next weeks as the super pac. as bush's super pac starts to spend $10 million in the early states. in that way they want to get the message out, that he is conservative too. i think the bet is that so far he hasn't been able to fall on his own weight. and people who tried to deck him like rand paul haven't had much success. if they start to make jeb bush's campaign about jeb bush, he is not only electable, he is conservative, maybe that will start to turn the tide a bit. we'll have to see. so far, as paul said, nothing really has worked in terms of putting cold water on this trump bump. >> it is fascinating.

the stuff you said about immigrants or john mccain is rotten. >> john kasich has the home court advantage, if you will. when it talks about governing -- >> he's in cleveland. >> he can talk about what we did down the road. how we fixed the bridge over there, how we handled medicare and medicaid. so he has sort of that advantage, i think, to play that card. should trump go there -- >> and why do you assume that for some reason jeb thinks he can rope a dope this thing. i'm going to drive on. >> i wouldn't say jeb is taking that position. i think jeb is probably doing a wait and see. if attacked, he will respond kind of thing. but he doesn't plan to be the one who leads the advance on that. and i don't think kasich will either. >> who has the fighting stance right now? >> i just got off the phone with trump's people. saying trump spent all day today in trump tower in new york. he'll hold back a little bit. he won't take the first shot. >> who will then? >> ben carson? no, soft spoken. kasich is a firecracker. he wants to get attention. he is a personality similar to trump. >> chris wallace,

when i talked about john mccain, i was talking about how he treats the veteran.ho do you like better, john mccain or trump, and i swamp him in the polls. and this last thing with fox, i love roger ailes, but all you have to do is ask roger ailes, who do you think won? >> he thinks he won. he talked policy specifics rolling out his point-by-point approach on immigration. >> they're making a fortune. mexico is doing very well -- >> as we discussed earlier, they're not doing great. >> let's see. they have the money. they will pay for the wall. they're sending drugs and taking money out. they're making a lot of money. mexico's making a lot of money. i'm a big fan of mexico. i'm a huge fan of the mexican people. i have thousands of mexican people working for me right now and have over the years. but they have to pay for the wall. and we need the wall. do you know that ten years ago, hillary and everybody wanted a wall. >> people did want the wall then. >> now they say, it's too expensive. one of the reasons, environmental impact statements. >> you believe you'll be ab

john mccain, mitt romney, george w.t it. >> as an attorney that's spent a lot of time reading case law and looking through depositions and dissecting language, i can tell you i have read what marco said about the exceptions and he is talking in circles. he is running around in circles. they need to clarify that. >> we'll get back to a lot of these debate related topics as well. onto iran, richard, let's talk about senator chuck schumer and his future as next leader of senate democrats could be in jeopardy baecause of his opposition to the iran nuclear deal. they believe the white house leaked on thursday night that he will vote against the deal. a former senior adviser to obama david axelrod said he made a decision based on politics and not fact. the only person schumer told was president obama and that the senator asked him to keep it quiet until friday. white house press secretary josh earnest refused to say democrats should still support schumer as harry reid's successor. take a look. >> this is a question for democr

and trump is even getting it from john mccain, who had tried to stay above it all when trump attacked his military service last month. >> i don't like to respond to mr. trump because there's a line about you don't want to get into a wrestling match with a pig, you both get dirty and the pig likes it. >> reporter: another candidate, ben carson is now in the line of fire from fellow doctor accusing him of using tissue from aborted fetuses for medical research, something he told cnn is unnecessary. >> virtually everything that can be attributed to progress by using fetal tissue can also use other types of tissue. >> reporter: today in new hampshire, carson defended his research. >> tissue specimens, tissue banks are maintained everywhere. and it would be irresponsible to throw the tissue away. >> carson also said in his own research, he has "no idea in the tissue came from a fetuses c", he says that has no more to do with fetus research than taking tissue from someone who's 95 years old. it may not be able to resonate with the layperson voter. we'll see if he explains it in maybe a diffe

going to ron reagan, and a form he adviser to john mccain and mitt romney. yesterday on fox news, trump elaborated on his plan to fight isis by taking their oil. >> now you have isis and others, but you have isis cutting off christians' heads and others. they cut off anybody's head. they're drowning them, cutting off their heads. we have to go in with forceful we have to take the oil. >> you're going on surround the perimeter. take the oil. what else do you have to do to stop isis? >> that will be the beginning of the end. that cuts off the money. that cuts off the head. >> a lot of people can laugh at donald trump here and say he's not being specific. he is saying things that will not match up with reality. but there is a real appeal to what he's doing. i think we've seen it before. the idea of the tough guy. people investing in the idea of the tough guy. i always think back to richard nixon. he had the secret plan to end the vietnam war. he wonderful tell anybody but people bought into the idea that richard nixon is the guy who can do it. >> well, richard

no matter what he seems to say, whether he's going after mexican illegal immigrants or john mccain or megyn kelly, he seems to go up in the polls. does it surn you at all? >> it's more of the same. he's taking the same approach to all of these things which is a no holds barred approach. there's an element out there that is sick of it. and they're -- i'm seeing it and hearing it across this country. they're sick of the establishment dictating to them who our candidates are going to be. and setting rules to make that happen. donald trump is different. and i think is making a difference as a result. >> is i've covered you for a long time. you pride yourself on your foreign policy expertise. i got into a conversation with donald trump about his approach to isis, which is, he wants to bomb all the oilfields in iraq. i want to play some of that for you and see what you think. >> i don't think iraq would want us to bomb their oilfields. >> here's -- the government of iraq, there is no government in iraq. the so-called government in iraq went to iran to meet with iran. iran is going to take o

he very much insulted john mccain and now he's insulting meghan kelly. that said, as i just said, he's made these insulting remarks before and it's done nothing to his poll numbers. i don't think it's going to change any time soon. he has to make a huge mistake, something so gravely offensive at this point for him to really get knocked off that perch any time in the next couple weeks. >> sabrina, political reporter, your assessment of where we stand at halftime since we have all watched that first hour of debate. any high point you want to refer to? >> i think what was really interesting was to watch the different approaches that some of these candidates took in dealing with donald trump's presence on that stage. two senators in particular, rand paul and marco rubio, whose campaigns have struggled to get off the ground, they had a different way of approaching donald trump and approaching this debate. rand paul came out early and aggressively. he went after trump when e he wouldn't take the pledge not to run as an independent. e he also sparred with him o

the john mccain gaffe --. >> i have not written him off and i have been scolding the media for sayingthis. the liberal media, the huffington post still is sticking to the role say we will only cover him in entertainment section because he is a side show but the conservative media and that is hardly the only is is crazy over this fact. >> a louisiana governor said the only way i won't get re-elected if unless i am caught in bed with a black boy or a dead white girl and he was re-elected. >> we are not above electing people who say and do question am things. that is the reality of the situation. we have to cover it accordingly. >> white bore or dead girl. look, like any other candidate, trump needs media scrutiny and he has found a remarkable way to thrive and he towns it into an asset because he is running against the establishment and against those of us in the news business. >> is the press too early on black protests who stop presidential contenders from speaking? 130 yards now... bill's got a very tough lie here... looks like we have some sort of sea monster in the water hazard her

rudy giuliani and fred thompson were way away of -- way ahead of john mccain.do, we are committed townhall meetings, house parties, and other events like this in new hampshire and similar events elsewhere around the country. that when people hear about our story and that we did not just take over the unions and special interest groups in washington, we are willing to take over the establishment -- take on the establishment and our own party, we will do what it takes regardless of party to do what's right for america. >> thank you. >> jeb bush said today that he -- that he would seriously consider putting a woman on the ticket if hillary is the nominee. governor walker: i think decisions based on who you put on the ticket for vice president should not be made for political purposes. they should be made first and foremost for who is competent to be the president of the united states. the number one response ability of the vice president is a little morbid. -- responsibility if i were president and something were to happen to me, i would want somebody who is compe

it was launched in 1933 and john mccain was stationed aboard it. the intrepid is a national historic land mark at 912 feet. it's much smaller than the now current one which are 1,100 feet long. question number three. what's the name of thepspace shuttle on display at the intrepid? this ship was a test vehicle but never really made it to space. instead helped shuttle pilots eand practice critical approach and landing procedures. it's the enterprise originally named in the constitution. gerald ford received thousands of letters asking for the ship to be named after the star track enterprise. the u.s.s. is commanded by which continue? star track was considered a ground breaking show featuring the first on television and of three. captain was commanding officer of the voyager and captain cisco space. question number five, what's the name of captain jack spar row's ship? is it captain jack was you need a desert is tnd. captain jack was based on the real life black box who reportedly took 470 ships prisoner. what is the world's largest cruise ship? is it

i want to ask one more question, john mccain's, one of his chief strategist weighed in on this whole debate about the campaign of donald trump and jeb bush. i want to play this for you. >> donald trump is emasculating jeb bush and they won't default to the establishment candidate whose being weakened by attacks that go unresponded to. >> i think smidt is not a guy you can discount. he was a major republican strategist. how do you think about, what do you think about what he said? >> i think it's absolutely right. steve is even kill and calls the shots as he sees them and what he's saying is absolutely right and the person waiting in the wings as we see jeb bush falter one time after another is john kay and i can i think that every single criteria that jeb bush says why he should be president, kasich can fill that easily. that's a reason you hear him threatening the needle but he's waiting in the wings. >> is kasich viable? i saw a piece in a new york times over the weekend that kind of said the same thing and i'm beginning to see a gentle push for kasich going forward, not too aggres
