ah john mccain it back in 2014 senator john mccain . i snuck it into a in the 11th hour and a must pass defense bill. and of course it passed and they try to get their hands on it. resolution copper parent company, real tinto. tried to get their hands on it. they voted on it like 12 different times and congress and it never passed through so that they finally got their hands on it when mccain slipped it into that defense bill. and this is national force which has been protected since the eisenhower administration from mining. so national forest means it belong to you and i and it was, i feel it was stolen from well, in this resolution copper project area covers a lot more than just oak flat. it's much bigger than that. it's nearly 40 miles long from one end to the other when you include all the pipelines detailing storage area in addition to the mine site itself. and so oak flat itself is considered one very large archaeological site, because there's so much here. this flat smooth surface here would have been used to grind food or could

our dear departed colleague john mccain was called an assault on the senses . or take the fact that when most of us were happy enough to finish high school as either a successful job for a successful student, richard was both a standout stop scholarship football player and winner of the science fair. consider his colleague with an easy matter all casual really has been one of the chambers elmost dominant legislators and most relentless champions across the whole array of critically important causes. that special bracelet bearing army chief warrant officer mitch carver's name isn't just a comfort to one gold star family. it's an outward sign of richard burr's entire approach to his job. supporting service, honoring sacrifice and making life better for the fulton north carolina and across the nation . for five years richards colleagues cast him with helming the intelligence committee. some of this nations, some of this institutions most sensitive and critical ig responsibilities wound up right in his lap. senators on both sides stated his fair mindedness and disc

i think the john mccain story -- >> yes. >> -- is particularly interesting because here's a guy who hads experience here in prison and, yet, he has been among the most vocal supporters of normalizing relations. >> it took several trips to vietnam, and so he could see vietnam in a different light. it's no longer a war. it's a country with people. >> have you been out with returning veterans from -- >> oh, yes! all the time. >> did they often want to go to the area that they served? >> oh, yes. >> did 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 disappears," all the bad feelings disappear and now you actually get to know how, "oh, are you married?" you know?

even on his deathbed, john mccain in lindsey graham were fighting over this. john mccain was dying of brain cancer and there was this moment in arizona where lindsey graham had gone down to be with john in his last months of life. why do you have to do this? why do you play golf with him? why do you have to lie about why he's a good golfer? he said look, you forgive the vietnamese, why can't i forgive donald trump? there's this dramatic scene that plays out after mccain dies in which lindsey graham has no speaking role other than to read a quick line from scripture. it is one of the dramatics of stories. host: susan glasser, throughout "the divider" you talk about the players in washington. it's fair to say that you two are probably washington insiders. i don't mean to be unfair. susan: if longevity confers inside ernest. host: would donald trump have ever been accepted by the washington establishment? susan: it's one of the hoary truisms about washington -- this idea that there's this permanent establishment. there's a constant renewal in the sense every four

i think that sinema sees the maverick seat that used to be occupied wouby john mccain as bg open and the question is can she execute that move before she faces voters again. >> so then let's ask a republican to weigh in on perhaps what is her deficit. she is not polling well among democrats in arizona. she says she is doing it for the collective good, that the country in her view should be moving toward the middle because part politics is too broken. so do you take her at her word? >> and it both can be true and not mutually exclusive. it is fascinating that the decision can be made this week. we saw the senate and house move on the gay marriage legislation that she had a whole lot to do with. wouldn't have happened without her. president biden will sign that into law. and to make this decision after that, i think it also sends a message back home. and what we can see, we know she wouldn't win a democratic primary, but if she does get challenged by a democrat, it either says to the democrats that they need to get in line behind sinema against a republican and that republican wouldn't

new john mccain. i knew him.pent many years in the media part of the political business, creating, producing, directing television spots. one of the best memories was of john mccain, when he came in, he was running for president. he was in florida. in jacksonville, yet that something about how the economy was found and it was teetering in the minds of most. he had to fix it, so he came over to my house, literally, before he came to an event, after all the security came through, and i got to meet him up close and personal. john mccain is he was, and he will remain a hero. anyone else who disputes that come gets you into that slippery slope of those who deny the worst of things in life, it puts the recent meeting the former president had with kanye west, the antisemitism, the intolerance, into that column. i'm not here to rationalize that, to excuse that. it was wrong. john mccain remains his moment, a hero, and he did it because he is willing to sacrifice his life for his beliefs. i wish all americans could take n

she likes to see herself as a maverick like john mccain. she said she's going to operate the way she always has. but will other senators potentially treat her differently? how she viewed in the chambers and do you think it impacts in any way the ability to operate the way she always has? >> it probably enhances it sleight. she's a free agent now. i think that republicans will see that as a benefit and try to woo her on certain things because she is kind of branding herself a free agent. i don't think -- i think what david said is right. which is that they are going to play nice with her because they need her. there's no reason to treat her poorly because she's a vote. she does vote with democrats nearly all the time. they need her to get things out of committee. they need her on the floor. there's no reason to be upset or angry. i do know a lot behind the scenes a lot of people are per tech ed. members of the house are upset. she comes out and make this is pronouncement, which had been in the works for a little bit. people are not terribly

i'll talk with jack mccain, son of the late senator john mccain y, who has been fighting to help afghanngress, next. you're watching "jose diaz-balart reports." az-balart .

town hall and john mccain stood up and he said no, we're not doing that.that's really the big difference between donald trump and many of the leaders of the republican party that came before. there's always been an element in our society that has believed many of these terrible things, that has held racist views, that have been anti-semitic. but the difference is our leaders have been willing to say this is not acceptable. and the reality is people do listen to our leaders. this is why there are so many americans now who think the election was stolen, because they view donald trump as their leader and that's what he's telling them to do. and the fact he's not doing it, it's -- i'm sorry, but it matters a lot. it's important. and i'm glad we're focusing on it. >> and i'd say this is the lesson republicans learned in this midterm, was all the voters sent a message. like we don't want this anymore. we need to move away from this. independents broke wildly away from republicans, sending a message we don't want this trump stuff anymore, we need to move back to

had any kind of relationship, political relationship or any kind of relationship, and suddenly john mccain was her hero. so i think she planted a stake in the ground there. and this is just part of the evolution of kyrsten sinema. she is never, never really been part of the democratic group here in arizona, since i've known her, a-years plus, she has always been a party of one. >> arizona has a lot of independents. how is, how might arizonans react to a person who is elected as a democrat, moving over to the independent side, bram? >> well, we won't know electorally for a while, but i can tell you the reaction now, and this isn't new, you have a lot of democrats, base democrats, who have been upset with sinema, because of the votes she's taken, and her standing up for the filibuster, and this has led to total abandonment by the base. it is very difficult how she gets a lot of base democrats in the future. as for independents, they're bound to like it, but again, keep in mind, independents don't vote nearly in the same numbers as republicans or democrats in general elections. despite their

e, who more than once advised everyone there, the most inveterate russophobe adviser was john mccainon and so forth, uh, they, like you, you know, have created such a closed family clan cycle. yes, robert kagan provides the ideological justification for any military aggression. the united states was the architect of the invasion of iraq, giving out false information at one time that saddam hussein was associated with al-qaeda, which means banned in russia, that’s his brother frederick kagan, which means he is a lobbyist for the military-industrial complex worked and works as an adviser to petraeus. uh, the former head of the king, who is now one of the talking heads accordingly, on american tv channels about the military effectiveness of ukraine, his wife frederick kagan created and headed the institute for the study of war, which is referred to by virtually all world media. well, here's the top. this same family clan was attached to the american budget by vika nuland, who ensures the implementation of all these theoretical developments. i’m a closed one. unfortunately , the budgets

notoriety and national attention and also to say that she sort of a maverick in sort of the mold of a john mccain. >> now, as if the president would support cinema in her reelection bid. today, the white house saying it's too early to weigh in, pointing out the fact that sent him or herself has yet to announce plans to rerun for now in washington, raquel martin, back to you. all right, raquel, thank you for that to. it has been almost 6 months now since the state department of justice. >> accidentally leaks personal information of thousands of californians who apply for a concealed carry weapons permit and fast forward to now the results from an independent investigation detailing what happened and how to try to prevent a problem like this from happening again, our capitol correspondent eytan wallace shares the results of the findings and has reaction from state leaders. >> well, the leak infuriated state lawmakers and the attorney general himself. they say it's vital. such a breach never happens again. it happened back on june 27th a data leak from the california department of justice disclosed

and national attention and also to say that she's sort of a maverick and sort of the mold of a john mccain >> now, as if the president would endorse senator sinema for a another run at that seat in 2024. >> the white house saying it's too early to weigh in saying cinema herself has yet to announce her plans. for now washington, raquel martin, back to you. raquel, thank you. still ahead tonight, one little girl has what may be the world's only license to carry one very, very >> exotic the cute story of how she got the paperwork. also coming up, the danville police tell the toy drive today. other measuring success as they try to help kids in need. >> danville police and a local u.s. marine group. while they're trying to make some special moments for kids in need, they held a toys for tots toy collection drive outside of the dental costco today organizers are looking for new and unwrapped toys to give to kids in need this christmas in years past the goal was just to fill up a single police cruiser. but the community has been so generous so far. so organizers have a decided to make a little bi

and then how do you -- but john mccain was running for president. so lindsey ran to the power. s just shaking his head. lindsey just loves spotlight, he loves golfing with the president too much. just sort of shook his head like poor lindsey, we've last him. so again, willie, we've talked -- >> jeremy. >> i tell you why, we have breaking news, alex was just talking in my ear. i'll tell you what, why don't you go with that breaking news. >> okay. is it official? okay. according to a senior administration official, brittney griner is free after 294 days in russian captivity. last months spent in one of russia's notoriously harsh penal colonies. she was traded for viktor bout who vladimir putin has been trying to get back and who had served 11 years of a 25 year sentence in the u.s. president biden signed off on the trade even though it meant leaving another american businessman paul whelan behind. >> oh, dear lord. >> griner, a two time olympic gold medalist has been detained in russia since february when russian officials found two vape cartridges containing oil in her luggage. w

was more intense but it fooled republicans to thinking he was unique he heated, he forgot when john mccaineared him see nile. and with george w. bush said he of a brown shirt and a nazi and dick cheney was darth vader, some people now saying, donald trump was so excessive, a lot of us on the conservative side were defending them from the same attacks. they c forgot, every time a republican is o out of office, no longer res pricents a danger they no longer -- ron desantis, is not as outspoken or you knows some not as erratic at trump but believe me, he sent the immigrants to martha mart vineyard or took on disney or school board they hate him. he is unafraid, and showing people he is not a romney fig figure. he is proving that. that will really enrage the left. mark: one of your areas of expertise is it break immigration, we have millions of more of illegal aliens in the country. they want to do it in face of schumer that all illegal up immigrants should get citizenship. >> we have 50 million people not born in the united states of various status, highest percentage wise and numbers you loo

i think our departed john mccain once called it an assault on senses. take the fact when most of us finished high school as a successful jock or successful student richard was a standout football player and a winner of the science fair. consider our unflappable, calm colleague with an easy manner, almost casual really, has been one of the chamber's most dogged legislators and most relentless champions across a whole array of critically important causes. that special bracelet bearing army chief warrant officer carverr's name isn't just a comfort to one gold star family. it is an outward sign of richard burr's entire approach to his job. supporting service, honoring sacrifice, and making life better for folks in north carolina and across the nation. for five years richard's colleagues tasked him with helming the intelligence committee, some of the, some of this institution's most sensitive and critical responsibilities wound up right in his lap. but senators on both sides knew that richard's thoughtfulness, fair-mindedness and discretion tailor made him f

of as moderates today, john mccain was anything but moderate. so with alan simpson. but but he also worked with people like sam brownback and the ability to reach the aisle is stunning in light of the situation today we're almost at these parliamentary parties refuse to break ranks and do anything together. yeah we would we would just funeral at the funeral. i was not i was in the hospital myself at one at the funeral funeral. orrin hatch was one of the speakers in orrin got up and he, you know, moved and he and he told these wonderful stories about how he and ted would on the floor of the call each other, all sorts of names. how could you know, the my friend, senator hatch be so obtuse and be so, you know, oblivious to the rights of this and this and hatch would get up and say the same kind of insult from the other side and then they'd go outside the senate chambers and on the way out, one would look at the other and say, how do i do today? and the other would look, ted, you just you did just fine. and hatch said the fact that this irish cathol

and for those of you that are going to ask me later, that is the same month that john mccain was shot. these guys were escorted out of the hilton and taken to a place that they nicknamed alcatraz. they were blindfolded. and when they got to the camp, they were still blindfolded and they are kind of lead into these different cells and ron has a little visual aid here. everybody know ron? ron's are more atoll or, montauk or scholar. he's executing his job very well today, you can see what kind of quality the united states naval academy is putting forth. but this right here was nicknamed alcatraz. we'll leave this up here so you can see it later, but there's three cell doors here. that was for jim stockdale, and jim mulligan. also united states navy. and then there were eight guys, rather nine guys in the cell block here. thanks. applause for rob.

they give it to whose ever turn it is, bob dole or john mccain. biden is very weak and democrats are going to sense that. i think he is going to get a primary challenge if he decides to run. >> dana: two of the other democratic leaders in the party are urging him to run again. here is a little sound from nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. >> i hope that he does seek re-election. he has been a great president. >> look at what he has accomplished. he has done an excellent, excellent job and he runs i'll support him all the way. >> dana: i notice he said if he runs. i guess they are still trying to hedge a little bit. we had additional reporting that jill biden is all in and biden is telling his team i know how old i am but seems inclined to do it. how and when do you think a challenge would actually come to biden? >> i think other people will just say okay, you are going to run but i'm going to run, too. the same way in the republican party. donald trump has announced. he is going to face a lot of contenders. i think there are serious contenders and i

john mccain, bob dole, trump change that. democrats have fought more for the nomination.for the year hillary ran. >> interesting leak. mcgurn out on a limb predicting that. who would you like -- who else would you like to see getting into the gop race other than desantis and trump at this st stage? >> i have a list. that is what most republicans want to say. most american voters have basically would like to see the presidential candidates move on to the so-called next generation, get away from the baby boomers. once a jew on the republican side forgive me if i'm leaving people out mike pence, mike pompeo, nikki haley, tim scott, ron desantis. there are a leather of other competent glenn youngkin in virginia, brian kemp, asa hutchinson greg abbott in texas. a lot of accomplished republican politicians. one question i would race between ron desantis and the other is republican voters want something like that trump edginess the quiet that kemp represent to be a thrilling primary race of trump were not in it. but the fact is he will be in it. i think he will stay in that. who
