bush and barack obama noted that john mccain would often disagree with someone on some fundamental matters, yet work together with that person on other fundamental matters. as obama explained, this was because mccain always viewed those he disagreed with not as enemies but as occasional opponents who ultimately were on the same side. as mccain himself put it in his farewell letter to all of us, "we are 325 million opinionated , vociferous individuals. we argue and compete, and sometimes even vilified each publicn our raucous debates, but we always have had so much more in common with each .ther than in disagreement if only we remember that, and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country, we will get through these challenging times. we will come through them stronger than we always do." this collaborative spirit, stressing what unites us rather than divides us, this embodies my hope for improved campus free-speech culture. namely, i hope that everyone will realize the message that we heard over and over today, including from the attorney general first thing

because of john mccain's no vote on the repeal and replace that republicans had in health care.onald trump used mccain's thumbs down moment many times. it is because of that no vote that we did not succeed in one of our biggest priorities and therefore we are not able to explain health care. >> we heard jeff say the homeland security secretary is in danger. what's going on? >> as jeff was noting, it's the domino effect. her relationship with john kelly. if this is an indication that they are also soon headed for the exits. they are rumored from before. that means donald trump is creating an entirely not just new team, but new structure and energy inside the how this presidency will operate in the second half of the first term. >> thank you for breaking it down for us. let's talk about the wildfires we are seeing in california. one is now the deadliest in the state's history. i will be speaking with one man going shelter to shelter looking for his 75-year-old mother. this just in, doctors are closing in on what is causing the polio-like illness killing children. a shocking update

i think with john mccain passing, for example, myth believes that there's a role for him in our party being a statesman in our party. lou: we've all been waiting for that. you can tell that paul ryan has been. it must have slipped his well rather fragile mind that the standard bearer of the party is the president of the united states, for he is the party's leaders and frankly its only hope. joining us tonight to discuss all of this, top strategist for great america pac, former reagan white house political director, fox business political analyst, ed rollins. the speaker continues to astound with his obtuseness, his absolute delusion. >> well they don't -- they didn't believe what trump was advocating which is conservative principles of the republican party. romney didn't believe it, that's one of the reasons he lost. lou: romney doesn't believe in anything but roomny. these guys are owned by the establishment. >> my great fear is that roomny is going to get in there -- when you've got two or three quote margins, anybody can play queen for a day. and romney, talking about his being the

this is the place of barry goldwater, john mccain. it's a democrat who's running, trying to take that mantle from john mccain as the maverick. she's been on the airwaves since the spring. when you look at the numbers this state, there's 1.2 million independents. over the last 24 hours, we've been talking to voters here, this is just down the road. it was interesting, republicans and independents a great number of them are telling us they intend to vote for the democrat. i'm going to introduce you to two of them right here. the first woman you're going to hear from is an independent. this is what they told us. >> who did you vote for? >> cinema. >> cinema? >> the democrat? >> yes. >> do you usually vote democrat? >> no. >> are you republican? >> yes. >> but not -- >> i'm changing. >> why? >> to the democratic party, i believe in their platform and agenda. >> raise taxes and spend more money. the republican party is not the same as it used to be. >> you used to consider yourself republican? >> yes. >> consider yourself independent now.

people would see john mccain and weep, just at the sight of him. people told hillary clinton their life story. people would hold onto donald trump and not let go. so there is those moments of connection and energy that you see all the time. especially people waiting since 4:00 in the morning for a 7:00 p.m. event. they are exhausted and everybody's emotions are high. and some of these events, it can be 100 degrees in the high school gym and no one has had water and everyone is losing their mind, so a lot can happen. >> it is interesting to contrast candidates too -- i think of -- observing the obama campaign, i felt he was the same person in real life when the camera was not on him as he was when he was greeting people and the camera was watching and. and the camera was watching, and -- andthe camera was watching, i felt he really enjoyed interacting with people and getting to meet them and shake their hands. one of the first candidates i covered was john edwards. i could contrast that feeling. he was really having to work hard to interact with peo

the senator-elect reflected on john mccain. >> senator john mccain stood for everything we stand forassume the best in others, to seek compromise instead of sowing division and to always put country ahead of party. senator mccain said, but we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. if only we remember that and give each over the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country. we will get through these challenging times. >> mike barnicle, you know, we free market conservatives always looked at east germany and west germany as a perfect laboratory test for what sort of economies work and what sort of economies do not work. well, we have almost a laboratory experiment in the state of arizona. that has been ground zero for donald trump's immigration fear mongering. let's just remember, as greg sergeant said yesterday, it was kind of ground zero for trumpism. he gave his big immigration speech there in 2016 during the campaign. that's whe as we all know, he just completely hammered jeff flake, completely hammered john mccain and decided he was

you know i mean john mccain has actually done things for veterans because he's actually a veteran you know and his plate is the view of them as telling that story as out. he has on a number of occasions hard on every administration for not taking care so at least he gets something but i'm confused i'm confused about how the guy who just made an entire generation of. oh well former vice president joe biden in awarding george and laura bush the liberty of medal i know i'm not so biden it's not about democrats or republicans it's about who we are it's about standing up for men and women who put their lives on the line to defend us every single day which i completely agree with i just don't understand but he was already president. why does he need more friggin medals why don't you take the money you spent on this party and these medals and everything else or he's got to go on this little soapbox for a second and maybe take care of one of the twenty two twenty three twenty four twenty five veterans a day killed themselves. but hey george gets another matter also about. you know isn't it am

i think the john mccain story is particularly interesting because here's a guy who had an atrocious experiencehe most vocal supporters of normalizing relations. >> it took several trips to vietnam until you can see vietnam in a different light. it is no longer a war. it's a country with people. >> have you been out with returning veterans from -- >> oh, yes, all the time. >> they often want to go to the area that they served? >> oh, yes. >> they often even meet with the people they fought? >> yes. >> b-52 pilots come to the areas they unloaded their bombs. >> yes. >> what is that experience like? what do you see when they come? >> extremely emotional. extremely emotional. people burst into tears. the memory i kept of you 45 years ago was an enemy. i did anything and everything to protect my life and to protect the people in my platoon. but today when i see you again, not as an enemy, as a person, everything just disappear. all the bad feeling disappear. and now, oh, are you married? how many children do you have? what are you up to? the life turn into a new chapter, and this chapter is a good

john mccain won the liberty medal in the coast to sion summer hillary rodham clinton twenty thirteen robert gates defense secretary twenty eleven prime minister tony blair. twenty and bush clinton george is the build both got to thousand and six also mohammad ali the fourteenth dalai lama. when it comes to liberty like to those names actually makes. seriously i think maybe. you know i mean john mccain has actually done things for veterans because he's actually a veteran you know and his plate is the view of them as telling that story as out. he has on a number of occasions hard on every administration for not taking care so at least he gets something but i'm confused i'm confused about how the guy who just made an entire generation of. oh well former vice president joe biden in awarding george and laura bush the liberty of medal i know i'm not so by. it's not about democrats or republicans it's about who we are it's about standing up for men and women who put their lives on the line to defend us every single day which i completely agree with i just don't understand but he was already

i think with john mccain passing, for example, mitt romney please is a role for him in our party in being a statesman and a standardbearer in our party. i've been coaching to go on the foreign relations committee to help -- i was not a big traveler in my earlier grip of one of the can speak i decided to do some landmark hotels, for instance, go to nato, reassure nato how much we are supportive of nato, things like that. i think that you can do a lot of good for our country by serving foreign relations committee and representing us abroad. things that are in his interest, all of our interest and have encouraged him to do that. >> should we look to him to play some of that john mccain role? >> he will -- i would look for him for that style. i would look to him as a leader who will be a standardbearer of our principles. >> okay. what was that, the loss of 2012, i remember going to iowa when you spoke at the governor birthday party. >> that she said with a mustache. >> used for open up that night and talked about that 2012 defeat and a kind of stun you. >> the only election i ever lost. >> ho

he went after john mccain and gold star families. it is not surprising if he thinks he can flip an argument and go after an american hero, of course he will. he seems to be smiling more. >> does he seem to be? he's doing the same things. >> his answers are the same. he is much more -- he is in a different posture now because he is being challenging, whether it is fox news or trey gowdy suggesting there may be a question of law. i see what you're saying, but he is acting even worse. i think his behavior is worse than it was then. maybe not worse but he is the president of the united states. and he does have checks. this is the first time, he can't leave the situation. he's always been able to walk away from a business deal. he could have walked away from an election. he is so boxed in, so cornered now, he has nowhere to go. and that leaves him in a different position than before. >> i think very much depends on what is revealed in the mueller investigation. by no means it is certain what will be revealed in the mueller investigation.

>> well, there's something to that, look, it's just the way it was, john mccain was proud of that votend we should remember that he took it. he and susan collins and lisa murkowski of alaska, the republicans were on a knife edge close enough to get this through, it would have given them as kate said both the actual success of repealing it but the ability to then go out and see changes in the law that helped bring down prices and where people could see that was actually happening. they didn't do it in the end. it was a huge failure on the part given campaign promise, yeah, the house republicans bore the brunt of the decision made by a handful of senators on the other chamber. paul: dan, where do democrats -- when chuck schumer says or threatens depending on your point of view, we will make health care our focus, what are they going to do? >> threaten, let's go with threaten.
