bush, ronald reagan or the late senator john mccain.an, a true conservative, serving his state of arizona through trust, respect, optimism and honesty. he was committed to bipartisanship, fearless in standing up for what he believed literally as a form aer prisone of war. his fwgoverning philosophy, quo, is an idea that form the greatest cause in human history, that self-government is the only moral government and all people possess equal dignity and a natural right to their freedom and to equal justice under the law, end quote. now, just two years since his death, the that ethos shift is evidence here in arizona where the once re reliably red state could soon be turning purple. joining me now is mark salter, expenditure writer to senator john mccain for more than 18 years. he i he's the author of a new book. this state of arizona is remarkable, beautiful, diverse. used to be very reliably republican and john mccain was the embodiment of republicanism. he held the banner for the republican candidate and he was the republican democrats w

you talk about the small gap between the private john mccain and the public john mccain. jumps out throughout thibook. you talk about the impatience,th generosity, the restlessness, how he rarely lost hope. but the bottom line, what mattered to him is that you acted honorably invi s of yourself and you ted peoplean fairly. it was pretty straightforward. mark: heho was a manived by a code, one he learned from his father and grandfather, and family in the military, and every generation as far back as the revolution. at the episcopalian school and the naval academy, even though heh was rebellious in bose places. it never violated the honor code, he lived b the central premise to him, you redeem yourself from your flaws and failings through courage and self-sacrifi and service to others he did that at great cost over a over again. judy: we remember john mccain for his fightor finance reform, immigration reform, his advocacy of a strong defense, his choice of sarah palin as his running mate when he was the republican nominee in 2008. but it was the summer of 2017, after he had

voting for john mccain. i believe john mccain voted with george w. bush probably about flake the time and jeff trump probably 92% of themime and to call independent and a reflection of arizona, i think is not correct at all. i was a salesman most of my adult life, and i had to go through people and have met literally thousands and thousands of people out here. my experience has been that arizona is incredibly, incredibly polarized state and so many people that call himself s or libertarians are very much hard-core republicans and they really don't take off the blinders much at all to consider an alternate opinion. i think you very much for your time, sir. q, pat you are absolutely correct. arizona is not an independent state but is a very republican state. if you look at registration rates in the state, the number of registered republicans far exceed the number of democrats. republicans -- i'm sorry democrats have gained slightly and have a slight edge in the number of new registered voters over the past few

you talk about the small gap between the private john mccain psd the public john mccain. character juut throughout this book. you talk about, as yosaid, the impatience, generosity, restlessness, how he barely ever lost hope. you said what mattered to him is you acted honorably in service of something more importantly th yourself and you treated people fairly. it was pretty straightfs ward. >> he man who lived by a code he learned from his father and his grandfather a from his family were in the military and every generation as far back as the revolution. he got it from the hoor codes at the episcopal boarding school where he went to high school and the navel academy, even thgh heas very rebellious in both those places, he never vioted the honor code he lived by and i think the central premise of th code is you redeem yourself from your flaws and failings through courage and self-sacrifice and service to otherand he did that at great cost over and over again. >> woodruff: and you write, we remember john mccain fis fight for campaign finance reform, for immigration reform,

we have the john mccain republican. you know, john won in -- he won in '82, he won in '86 and '92 and '08 and 2004, 2016. he never lost here. it was never close. those of us who were close to john mccain, we don't appreciate one the way the president treats john mccain and two, most importantly, we don't appreciate how he is really the antithesis of john mccain in character and on most of the joimajor issues. so there's a lot of mccain-type republicans who aren't going to vote for trump and we see someone in joe biden who shares many of the qualities that john mccain had. then you have women and this is not just in arizona, but across the country. and women are showing themselves much smarter then men, you know, and he's got a big problem with women here. he should have a problem with everybody, but women are leading the way. and lastly, ali, there is a group out there that's kind of under noticed, but there's a big lds or mormon constituency here in arizona. i grew up in mesa, which is the -- you know, one of the larges

with me now is the former senior advisor to john mccain.ynonymous with modern arizona politics, the state that he fist ran in, the state that he first won office in in arizona. one of the most conservative states in the country, what is arizona today. how would you describe it. >> the economy, a republican stronghold, all of the time that i worked for john mccain and david axelrod said it was one giant suburb and it is trending more independent than purple. and now in the last in 2018 in the midterms, they lost the election, 60 pakistan of all high school seniors sometimes they forget that. that is affecting it's politics. >> i know ali has a few questions there, go ahead. >> you and i had a bit of a conversation yesterday. you were talking about changing demographics. there is a good conservative christian population and a significant minority of mor mans that would have been solidly there for the last many decades. there was a bit of a shift there. >> well, yeah, he is not, he does better with evangelicals than he deserves to because of h

john mccain is one. deciding vote to scuttle the health care plan back in 2017. we saw after helsinki, but they are few and far between. but you're seeing now a little bit of daylight. a little bit of concern. senator sass and cruz are examples. but we've written this week, my colleagues and i wrote this week about how there is growing alarm among republicans that not only is president heading for defeat, he may be heading for a significant one. one that takes the senate with him. and i would not say yet they are preparing for a post trump world just yet. but there are thoughts about that direction. how they could try to salvage themselves and keep themselves above water here. we saw from mitch mcconnell in the last week or so. as someone who has aligned himself so closely with the president and this is about as critical as he's going to be when he made a point of saying that he hadn't been to the white house in a couple of months because he didn't trust how they were managing the pandemic there. he didn

. >>> also tonight, we remember john mccain's mother, who has died at 108. and we celebrate a baseball great. >>> good evening and it's great to have you with us as we start another week together here. and as we come on the air tonight, we have just heard from the president's doctor through a written statement, saying the president has now tested negative over consecutive days, according to the doctor, using abbott rapid testing. the doctor saying those tests along with other measurements mean the president is, quote, not infectious to others. tonight, the president now on his way to florida. the president setting out from the white house late today, returning to the campaign trail for the first time, of course, since his diagnosis with covid. 22 days to go now. a large crowd waiting for him in florida. not a lot of masks, but a lot of enthusiasm. joe biden, meanwhile, with events in the key battleground state of ohio, calling the president reckless for his personal conduct around the pandemic. and tonight right here, the new poll. where this race stands ton

it was cosponsored by john mccain. and even the mission act trump passed was officially named after john mccain. but trump has gone in and basically said he did va choice, obama had nothing to do with it, john mccain had nothing to do with it. so one way we cover is to drill down and explain not just he was telling this falsehood and lie but the reason why. he's doing it because he was surrounded by aides who are unable or unwilling to tell him the truth. and one way he duz duz is the psychology of lies which is the more they're repeated, the more they're found to be true. and one thing i've found is they told the speechwriter and the president's team they wanted to put in a line about what donald trump had done on va choice because they actually believed what he was saying. he'd gotten it so in the either that they believed this falsehood, and they wanted to repeat it themselves. so that's why the president does it because it's proved stunningly effective for him. and the way we grapple with it is we write about it an

which is one of the greatest honors of my lifetime and to hear senator mcsally gnostic ever senator john mccainttacking him repeatedly and then i find it hard to understand that not on one occasion with they come up to senator mccain's defense. >> it has been reported many times repeatedly asking the president to stop attacking john mccain frankly it kisses me off when he does that. even working with john mccain they never would have learned about him in the military what he endured as a pow and to work to support that military and serve in the seats i repeatedly said stop doing that let him rest in peace but one thing about senator mccain he always knew where he stood and here is another example trying to invoke him you can't even take simple positions whether you're packing for the supreme court you have a bunch of platitudes but you can't even tell them where you stand. >> moving on to climate change ues to each of 90 question one - - 90 seconds the state's water supply is in a precarious position the recent poll shows those that want climate change to be a national priority so how do we aff

reminds me of 2007 when the financial crisis hit and i'll never forget the press conference that john mccain and barack obama gave separately and john mccain said i'm stopping campaigning i'm going back to washington deal with a serious crisis barack obama struck a much better note saying we can do both. that wasn't decisive for barack obama winning but it really showed obama to be in control of some of your presidential i'm looking made mccain well quite foolish and where i think we're in a public health perspective a similar situation now right after thank you so much for your reporting. well. meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o says he has tested negative for the virus has left rome after a 3 day visit telling reporters traveling with him to croatia that he was quote feeling fantastic pompei o says he blast met with trump in the white house more than 2 weeks ago. were praying for the president the 1st lady. a speedy recovery i'm sorry i speak up a little bit of a speedy recovery and i spoke to the vice president's up at this morning as well and we're taking this obviously

it's been an honor to even work with senator john mccain. when i learned about them when i was a cadet in a military about what he endured as a pow and to be able toey work with him to support our military and not be able to serve in his seat. i have repeatedly said stop doing t that. let's let them rest in peace. for one thing about senator mccain we knew in arizona, whether you agreed with him or disagreed with them you always knew where he stood. this is another example, mark, where you are trying to invoke him but can't even take simple positions on whether you going to support your recruiter at investor chuck schumer, whether you will support packing the supreme court. what you say one thing a bunch of platitudes but you can you tell arizonans where you stand. >> thank you, senator. >> let's move on to climate change and you will each have 90 seconds to respond to this question. this year as an experienced thee drive hottest summer on record. the state water supply is in ia precarious position. a recent poll shows 70% of arizonans want

and john mccain cast a heroic though and that they look at this case as their last chance and they want to rush the judge onto theheet court and to show hostility to the affordable care act and with v wade to be suggest to be overturned suggested that the law even with the use of common contraceptive like the pill or the iud subjected to criminal penalties. so there is a few things trying to accomplish and that election dispute and not recusing herself in such a case and her own expressed antipathy who is getting an award from notre dame that she urge that they resend that metal. i don't know how they could be neutral she should say she would recuse herself she wouldn't do that. there are problematic areas but chief amongar them in the middle of a pandemic. >> thinking that democrats would take the same pathway and he said he would not. >> and democrats had a chance with the majority to change thee rules and republicans have now made three changes to the supreme court and then announced they would block even consideration the president obama's nomination last year a presidency. that was

i was fortunate to serve with john mccain in the senate and what an incredible american.e was a patriot of the highest order and cindy is supporting our campaign. [applause] and she is doing it because she knows that joe and i will always do what she and john did, and that is put our country first. cindy, wek city -- are grateful to be in arizona today. talk with workers and small business owners who are working so hard and doing everything rights, but still struggling to get by. i was thinking about last night at the debate. this election, more than any other in our lifetime, will affect every part of our lives. lastonsequences that may generations. there is so much at stake. our nation is at a crossroads. just think, all at the same time, we are experiencing the , ademic, the recession reckoning on racial justice, a changing climate that is battering our coastlines and setting the west on fire, and the future of health care hangs on top of it all. because president trump is in the supreme court right now trying to get rid of the affordable care act. along with senate re

kelly: those protections, by were saved by john mccain.e saved the affordable care act and he saved those protections that senator mcsally spent years trying to undo. >> we need to move on. you have consistently supported president trump. you support the administration's policy. and you have voted not to convict on impeachment. are you proud of your support for president trump? i am proud i am fighting for arizonans on things like cutting your taxes, and on average, arizona middle-class families have had their taxes cut by $2000. we had such a strong economy before the pandemic hit. we fought to rebuild the military after the obama-biden administration decimated our military. force.a follow -- hollow i voted to secure our border. border security is national security. that means something here in arizona. i got the most bills passed, most bills signed into law. that is my record. fighting for arizona, putting legislation on the president's desk. d.c., withhington, az on my jersey. said he would support bernie sanders at the top of the ticke

but also concern me is what he said about senator john mccain. repeatedly. more than one occasion. pecially after, when he passed away. those comments are just uncalled for. sooner mccain was a hero of mine from my earliest days in the united states navy is a navy pilot, anything that we looked up to. he is the guy that in the unfortunate situation that you ever got shot down, he was the model. i later got to call him a friend. i got to know him which is one of the greatest honors of my lifetime i would site. and to hear senator mcsally not stick up for john mccain when the president of the united states is attacking him for repeatedly print even after he passed away. and as a veteran, i find it incredibly hard to understand that not one occasion when senator mcsally come to sooner mccain's defense. >> did you not stick up for him. martha mcsally: i absolutely have. i have publicly and privately repeatedly talk to president trump and asked him to stop attacking john mccain. and quite frankly if this is me off when he does it. it's been an honor to even work with senator john mccain.

what do you think john mccain would be doing right now?u're hesitant to speak for him, but i can't believe he wouldn't be speaking out against this indecency. his widow has endorsed joe biden, shockingly. >> i observed this before. he didn't vote for trump last time, as you mentioned, and trump is not someone who improves on longer acquaintance with him. he's been a disaster as a president, and he's got an affinity for our enemies and sort of aspires to join the international thugs club, and he's openly hostile to our allies. before john passed away, of course, he was a very acerbic critic of the president. he put out probably the harshest statement ever made about the president when trump took the word of vladimir putin over our own intelligence service. he did that just six weeks or so before he passed away, maybe two months. he would have quite a bit to say, i think, and i can't -- i don't want to say what he would do in this election, but, as i said, if he didn't vote for him four years ago, he hasn't done anything to win his vote, so

and barack obama both gave press conferences john mccain looked uncertain he looked out of place he looked like he could handle the situation can handle this crisis that he was sustained suspending his campaign going back to washington to fix this problem barack obama came out cool confident ready to take on the crisis and continue his campaign and while obama was already leading in the polls and probably would have still won it was a very decisive moment a very interesting moment where a lot of americans said this guy this guy knows how to do both how to be a politician to run for presidency and handle a major crisis and that's what we could see joe biden trying to come out to do in this case can you see any upside for the president getting ill like this. there is the the whole idea that maybe he turns around and comes back stronger than ever and says i beat this virus this virus is no big deal like i've always been telling you as well as the sympathy aspect like i mentioned earlier that people might swing towards him and just by having sympathy for for a sick man but i don't see a

what really gets me is john mccain, the fact that he, you know, but john mccain down saying he was a hero just because he stayed in a prison camp for three or four years, whatever it was. that he was in a hero. host: character, doesn't matter in north carolina? guest: again, the perception of character depends on where you are coming from. again, the caller raises all kinds of questions about the president and we have seen for 4ars of questions raised -- years of questions raised, but for republican voters or trump voters, they overlook that. they themselves would live their lives the way the president has lived his, but they see that he bring something else to the table. many of our rural north carolina voters who have been strong supporters of the president from 2015 until now, when you raise questions about the president's truth telling, they say, he may not tell the truth -- he might not tell the truth the whole time, but we are really interested in his appointing of judges. we are interested in his tax cuts. the same is true for the other side, like i said about how cunningham.

i was fortunate to serve with john mccain in the united states senate and what an incredible, incrediblen pray he was a patriot of the highest order. cindy is supporting our campai campaign. isn't that great? [applause] she is doing it because she knows that joe and i will always do what she and john did and that is put our country first. so we thank cindy and are so excited to be here in arizona today and later today we will stopll and talk with workers and small business owners who are working so hard and doing everything right but still struggling to get by. they are who i was thinking about last night at the debate. this election, more than any other in our lifetime, will affect every part of our lives. consequences that may last generations. there is so much at stake in our nation is at a crossroads. all of the same time we are experiencing the pandemic, the recession, a reckoning on the racial justice, a changing climate that is battering our coastlines and setting the west on fire and the future of healthcare hangs on top of it all. you see, president trump is in the supreme court

next, cindy mccain, the widow of the late arizona senator john mccain, she spoke about the need for stability across the nation. she took part in the restoring respect conference where she talked about the late senator's thoughts on politics and civility before he passed away from cancer. this is 45 minutes. you to our audience for discussion on civility. misses mccain is joining us less than a month before our general election. the first question i would like to post to her, americans -- good to see you there. americans are more divided than they have ever been in my lifetime.

and endorsed joe biden this time around, and the author of "the luckiest man: life with john mccain," an extraordinary book that we're all looking forward to. >> thank you. >> mark salter, let's talk about your reaction to "60 minutes." >> i guess he wasn't ready for some tough questions. i don't know, it's impossible to follow whatever the through line is in the president's thinking. it was a bad interview and he comes off poorly in it. i don't know why he's doing everything he can to draw attention to it. but, you know, i don't understand a lot of what donald trump does. >> to you, gene robinson, as we head into this debate, why would this be what he would want the narrative going into his final chance to redress some of the concerns that people have, if there are still undecided voters out there, fix what happened in the first debate, be more presidential. i know that he hasn't taken advice before, but if he could be more restrained, he was in the final debate last time around, even though by all accounts he lost that debate to hillary clinton, he could make up some ground. >> rig

remember, when he said that he didn't like war heroes, like john mccain, because, you know, john mccainaptured? reveals, again, his stunning lack of empathy. lack of empathy for the parents, who died, and for the doctors who were the only ones -- the patients, i should say, excuse me, who died. and the doctors, who were the only ones with them when they did because their families were not allowed to be with them. doctors, who couldn't even stay with the dying because they had to care for someone else, dying, in the next room or down the hall. how could the president lie about them? without even caring about what they have seen and what they've been through. it's very revealing. it reveals, again, that the president of the united states like about anything -- like anything, say anything, to get re-elected. how this awful comment helps him get elected is baffling to me. >> the president of the united states is accusing the medical profession of making up covid deaths so they make more money. doctors and nurses go to work, every day, to save lives. they do their jobs. donald trump should s

of barry goldwater or john mccain.artha mcsally and donald trump. i was talking with bob worsely, a republican legislature and he chose to leave politics. i just got off the phone and he told me for the first time here in arizona among his fellow kitchen members there is quiet when it comes to conversation because of a willingness among the arizona mormons looking to vote democratic. he told me we've never seen families split like this before. i've never seen so many friends of mine vote democratic. hillary didn't must they are type of persuasion. this is a population here that is frustrated. i talked with a morman family friend that said he's an ego maniac. and look at the 2018 results over where the morman temple is in mesa, around the mormon temple from 2016 to 2018, martha mcsally last support there. where donald trump even had it in 2016. and in my conversations with mormans around the greater phoenix area, there is true belief this could shift in the election here and in that 6% mormon population here could actua

remember when he said he didn't like war heros like john mccain because john mccain got captured.reveals again his stunning lack of empathy, lack of empathy for the parents who died and for the doctors who are the only ones -- the patients i should say who died and the doctors who were the only ones with them when they did. because their families were not allowed to be with them, doctors who couldn't even stay with the dying because they had to care for someone else dying in the next room or down the hall. how could the president lie about them without even caring about what they've seen and what they've been through? it's very revealing. it reveals again that the president of the united stat statstates will like anything, say thinking to get reelected. how this awful comment helps him get elected is baffling to me. >> the president of the united states is accusing the medical profession of making up covid deaths so they make more money. doctors and nurses go to work every day to save lives. they do their jobs. donald trump just ought to stop attacking them and do his job. >> you

in the debate someone with experience, rick davis is a bloomberg contributor and his service to john mccain in the election where mccain took under 57% of the vote in conservative tennessee and we're thrilled rick davis could join us today. the company in line, rick davis is a gentleman from delaware and scranton needs to pick up the kind of tennessee voters that voted for john mccain, they've clearly turned republican. can biden at the margin pick up those voters? rick: it will be tricky in a place like tennessee but it depends on which part of the state. as you know, that state is divided along its horizontal axis and the further you get into the cities and the east, the more moderate voters you have and you go to west tennessee and it's a totally different picture. so i do think that some of those voters may migrate and we see a lot of evidence in the polling data now that part of what is migrating is an ideology but personality. tom: personality, let's take it out of tennessee to the states that matter, jon and lisa and i have had real conflicting reports. what is the davis take now on

both john mccain and richard nixon needed publicity in 1960. so, in 1960, all of the attention goes in the primary season to the democratic side of the aisle. talkhat is really, when we about primaries in 1960, we are talking plural. we are talking two. there are about maybe eight or nine, officially. most are beauty contests. some are not contested or they are contested by lower rank guys. the only two of which amount to anything in 1960 are in wisconsin and in west virginia. and there, jfk is out to prove he can be viable as a catholic nominee. and he does not have to prove it against lyndon johnson because lyndon johnson is mr. back row. he is the dealmaker and he is not going to go when the primaries. in any case, primaries don't count for that much free he will not waste his effort. but are in wisconsin and west virginia. humphrey, thetio united state senator from minnesota, a former crusading mayor of minneapolis. is not veryrey viable. in 1960, evenlls though he is going to be the eight yearsominee from 1960, he is registering at about 2

calledory short, they the big summit, they invited both candidates, john mccain and barack obama.at meeting, barack obama essentially took over and decided, this is how we are going to sell the plan, get people on board. he brought enough democrats on board that they got it passed even with the majority of republicans in the house voting against. candidate take a a leading role. this is hank paulson's bill, this is a good will, this is why you should vote for it. i made the point that i think joe biden could play a similar role today. i think you do have moderate republicans who want a deal. but, not enough to get through the senate on republican votes alone. you need republicans and democrats to come together. that is the kind of thing that biden could broker. not the kind of thing trump can broker. trump will not get democrats to agree with moderate republicans. trump does not have enough pull with conservative republicans to force them. joe: you say that president trump in your view does not have enough pull. he seems to be providing a ton of effort. mnuchin and policy seem to

john mccain carried that in 2008 and mitt romney in 2012. this is republican territory.itt romney at 61 and john mccain at 57 and if you're going to win pennsylvania, remember how narrow it was, donald trump at 64. the democrats don't have to win westmoreland county, they just have to do better. have to do better with blue collar workers and joe biden thinks that a lot of people who live here and work with their hands think the democratic party has forgotten him. at the end of the train ride he thinks he at least got a listen. >> do you think you made an effective argument on the economy issue? >> we'll find out in the election. i feel good about the whole day and feel good about what's happened last couple of days it and it looks like based not on our polling, independent polling, that we're making -- we're picking up an awful lot of the folks who used to be democrats. they are coming back home, but we'll see. >> let's discuss this with alex burns, "new york times" national political correspondent. alex, just interesting to watch the train ride. number one, it's the bus
