the kidding 5 were 5 us senators including john mccain and john glenn, who were involved in a bang scandal that was a part of the savings and loan collapse. you had such a major impact on the revelation of and on the investigation into this scandal that charles keating, after whom the scandal was named, said in a memo, quote, get black, kill him, dead, unquote. tell us about the heating 5 and about the after max. right, so 1st it isn't just the eating 5 working with the cheating. 5 was speaker of the house. jim. right. and the speaker, the house is the answer to the trick question. who's the 2nd most powerful elected official in america? the vice president. it's the speaker of the house under our constitution and the rules of the house. right. and so these folks up, and by the way, that means 5 of the 6 were democrats. you know, all of this, including that you said some very prominent democrats in. ready being to war heroes, as you mentioned, john glen and the son of ad moment thing. right? you know, all of this. so the reason that they use these senators is that other things have fail. so

bush and john mccain. cain ended up winning big in that upset and mccain won the primary that year by winning new hampshire, but at this point in the cycle, he was in third place. again, he had to have that late surge, that late upset. jon, there's never been a candidate who's had this big a lead nationally or in early states who didn't go on to win the nomination, but there are lots of signs and now lots of money to suggest that this race could still be interesting. >> jonathan: thank you, rick. let's go right to 2024 presidential candidate and former new jersey governor chris christie. so governor christie, you have spent a lot of time in nn new hampshire lately. let me ask you based on what you are hearing from voters, when trump goes out and says incendiary things like calling january 6th prisoners hostages, suggesting that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff should face the death penalty, do voters notice? does it make -- does it make a difference? >> i think it does make a difference, jon, and i

but one of the reasons barack obama beat john mccain despite john mccain being a war hero is americans were sick of going into foreign wars. even trump voters, one of the things that unites them is the idea they don't think trump would put us in world war iii. the idea that these guys think warmongering is the way to win over his voters to me seems upside down and backwards. but i'll let you weigh in. >> i'm going to deconstruct it a little more than that, joy. there is a fine line between being tough, right? and so this idea of being tough on crime or being tough on immigration, being tough on terrorism. there's a fine line between being tough and camouflage for hate. i think they cross that line at the debate, when you look at the language about shooting people dead and bombing and wiping people off. joy, that's not about being tough on terrorism. that is crossing the line and becomes a camouflage for hate. and i hate to say it, but you know american history very well. there is a landing space for hate in this country. and hate does mobilize people in this country. we have seen it ti

the end of john mccain's life donald trump hated him because john mccain voted to hold on to obamacaremp. >> exactly. i think part of the reason senator mccain voted against that horrible legislation to get rid of the affordable care act is because he knew there was no other plan or alternative part of that legislation to fill the gaps and make sure people have the health care that they need. look, i believe in a world and i believe in a country where every single person has health care no matter who they are. i believe health care is a human right. the affordable care act is a down payment on ensuring that every american has a health care they deserve. for republicans to go out in campaign and taking away the affordable care act with absolutely no alternative, absolutely no their plan, it's completely number one irresponsible but also shows who they actually work for. it's not for the american people. it's not for the most vulnerable people in our country. it's for the insurance companies and for pharmaceutical companies and pbms that are jacking up the cost of health care in this cou

associated, for example, with ronald reagan, a bright representative of the republicans, the late john mccaine last of the magicans, as with it turned out that what we see now is this just things, the director of the john mccain institute, and what she was. according to our terminology, the deputy secretary of defense of the united states under obama, and evelyn parkatz, she gave an interview recently for hb this week, and she is very frank there, she says for sure that there may actually be a strategy, it's just not called a strategy there is this one, and she says that biden won't tell you this, the americans won't tell you this, i don't want to tell you this, but it is that many people in america believe that ukraine is ultimately will accept the fact that it will not be able to win back all the territories, but it will be able to exchange it for the future nato umbrella. well, that is, relatively speaking, this again leads us to the question of whether finland ultimately lost the war with the soviet union or with moscow. can there be such an option in ukraine, in your opinion, should it b

and the bushes and john mccain and don rumsfeld, not a lot of love there. and they were always said, what do you like that one better than me? i love them all. and now i i'm sure they're a bad books out there. not too many. you know, each one represents something. and i love meeting these people every week. i love reading things that i might not otherwise have picked up off a shelf. it's fantastic. you ever go up to new york, to the publishing houses? yes. and it's like anything else. it's an older industry. it's consolidating. it has its rules. it's you know, these kinds of things. but there are individual people in each one of those publishing houses that get up every day saying, i want to do the best for this author, even if he or she is not well known. i want to make sure this is the greatest interview for these established people like ken follett. so i've identified some people and each one, i really like them. i hear from them every day and we're in constant communication. yeah. so you've gotten on the map enough that the publishers are contacting you

this isn't mitt romney for john mccain or anybody else on the other side.his is trump. >> bill: the tit-for-tat continues. president biden used colorful language to talk about him. karl rove is with us now. good morning to you. remember that axelrod was critical two weeks ago when the battleground states came out, all that polling showing trump leading in i think five of the six. but axelrod is not alone, right? you have jonathan martin, "politico", as one shrewd democrat argues the party enters 2024 with advantage on message, money, organization and brand. the messenger is the problem. he should try to fix that. what would be your message to martin and axelrod and to biden? >> well look, i agree with david axelrod. when you have over seven out of every ten americans saying he is too old, including 69% of democrats, and when you have a nearly 2/3 of the country saying he lacks the stamina and mental acuity to be effective as president, you have a real problem. now i do have a minor disagreement with david axelrod. he suggests that the answer is to get going

. >> she went after john mccain in arizona, tiana. don't go after john mccain in arizona. i think that sunk her. i think you're right, she shouldn't have lost the race. maria: you're right and you're from arizona. >> i'm from dallas and also from phoenix. that did not go over well with arizona. >> republicans are ahead in every category in every poll i looked at except abortion and if you can't see that ronna mcdaniel and you can't rally the troops together and get on the same page with regards to now pulling ahead in the category, good luck. maria: where is the strategy? >> there needs to be more trust. nicknikki haley, kari lake's you abortion perspective, should have had a mega phone. some of the male politicians on the right don't know how to message something. the way they message it makes women go i don't trust it. >> white suburban women vote. maria: nikki i hailey will be here this -- nikki haley will be here this morning. disney reported earnings that beat expectations, they have aggressive plans to cut costs, the word on wall street panel is here to weigh in, don

it brought me back, but i stood in front of that monument to john mccain, all my days growing up. i never thought that would ever occur. today, i'd like to talk a little about the work we've done in the region to get there and how we're going to go about seeing this road forward. i've said for a long time the united states is a pacific power. and that brief discussion yesterday with president xi. yes. why are we so. yeah. asked me before i reminded him why we are so engaged in the pacific. it's because we're a pacific nation. because of us. there's been peace and security in the region allowing you to grow. he didn't disagree. i thought it was a very good, straightforward meeting. we aren't going anywhere for decades. america's enduring commitment to the region has been a springboard that's enabled growth, transformative growth. sure, the open flow of commerce has lifted millions of people out of poverty. today, that relationship goes both ways. the united states remains as vital to the future of the region and the region is more vital than ever to the united states of america. it

it really helped john mccain. he was no war.days people went to the polls in south carolina and put bush back in the lead. so all the rules go out on this election. this is going to be one in the primaries and general election. this is one for the record books and how crazy and potentially strange it could be. >> neil: could cost you a lot if you ignore it like rudy guliani did. thanks, karl rove. target is doing quite well. came out with better than expected numbers. it does have a problem with robberies and crime and that is hurting more than just the bottom line after this. with the freestyle libre 2 system, know your glucose level and where it's headed. no fingersticks needed. manage your diabetes with more confidence. freestyle libre 2. try it for free at freestylelibre.us at america's best, you can get two pairs of glasses and a free eye exam starting at just $79.95. two pairs! and they don't even have to be identical! in fact, one pair can be practical and sturdy, while the other pair is super stylish and wildly good-look

while john was a prisoner of war and in the later years as a senator and statesman. the mccain family will miss his wit, charm, and intelligence terribly." kissinger remained active in foreign affairs long after he left office meeting with chinese president xi jinping in july. xi sent a message of condolence saying kissinger was a dear old friend of the chinese people and will be dearly remembered for his sincere devotion to u.s. relations. >>> former first lady rosalynn carter was lady to rest in plains, georgia. her husband, 99-year-old former president, jimmy carter, attended a private funeral service yesterday at the couple's small hometown church. hundreds watched a motorcade pass through town. mrs. carter, who died last week at the age of 96, was buried in view of the front porch of the home where the former president still lives. >>> the house is expected to ote tomorrow on whe expel new york republican george santos from congress. it comes after a scathing house ethics committee report said santos broke the law by deceiving donors and using campaign funds on personal ex

but john mccain is a very different -- he is an old political hand.in at least in the media, maybe not so much outside of the media. you know, but he was a smart tactician, and i don't see any evidence of that out of ron desantis. larry: well, rich lowery, i will come back to that, i don't mean to be redundant but look, there are options here, none of them are palatable for desantis. desantis looses to trump, that is no fun. what if desantis loses to haley that is no fun either. if haley, suppose haley gets 18 and desantis gets 16 or 17 and then trump gets all the rest? trump has a 30 point lead in iowa. i mean that will wreck desantis -- seems to me anything that happens short of actually beating trump and desantis is gone, he is gone. tell me if i'm wrong, rich? you're the political guy. >> he has to, i don't think you're wrong. he needs to win iowa or very, very strong second in iowa. but i think he really has to win it but just to stick with the subject of football, larry for a second, talking about hail mary passes did you seed video of trump at

it's intimate relationship with the pro western opposition with senator john mccain openly courting. some of you claims most on savory. on t, russian politicians as per the c o a playbook us didn't really care who got into bed with one strategic goal of undermining rushes, legitimate regional interest was achieved to print an error stands review. great moment, we are a better and your make ukraine better. but if you are successful, the united states will stand with you every step of the way. and of course, none of this went unnoticed in moscow to washington had initially asked to ensure you on a coal which is restraint against the protesters. all while a covertly worked overflowed in perfect, but legitimate, democratically elected government of a southern states. because i'm going to out american partners turn to us. they asked us to do everything. i am now literally recalling the request. so that the article which does not use the army so that the opposition vacate to the squares and administrative buildings and moves on to implementing the agreements reached to normalize the situat

the other day i was reflecting on a walk i took in kyiv with the late senator john mccain in 2014 with a visiting congressional delegation. mccain led a bipartisan delegation there just after russia seized crimea. after kyiv we were supposed to go to eastern europe but we had to cancel as russia was already destabilizing the region in preparation for its land grab. john mccain and our -- somberly in the square in kyiv, to the makeshift shrines to those who lost their lives in defense of democracy. i cannot help but wonder what john mccain would say today or ronald reagan who called the soviet union a naval empire as many in their party in congress hesitate to stand up to putin and advance american security interests. let's not make the mistake that would cost the world in the future not agreeing to the supplemental request before the end of this calendar year. i urge my colleagues to support president biden's national security supplemental request to aid ukraine, israel, the indo-pacific, and humanitarian crisis around the globe, including gaza. madam president, i yield the floor. a se

john mccain price for leadership and public service. senator mccain's vision of a better future, shaped by the world's democracy is the inspiration for starting the forum in 2009, and we miss him. with us this year is peter mckay, who, as canada's minister of defense, started this forum in 2009. if there is any question as to why we are in halifax each november, it is because peter lives short drive away. [laughter] peter, your friendship means a great deal to me, and your vision for this forum for democracies means a great deal to the whole world. tragically, peter and i lost a close friend this year, who worked with peter in 2000 nine and was one of the forum's founders. many people here this weekend will miss john being here, as well. the attacks on ukraine and israel are different in nature, but they are connected. both test the world's democracies. the tactics used in this small theater conflict includes the weaponization of food, manipulating social media to influence global public opinion, and applying modern technologies for thei

seemed like almost this was a jibe against the late senator john mccain as much as a thought out policyth people close to the trump campaign or in the trump campaign, i know that they are discussing a whole range of policy issues but i've never heard anyone from the trump side say to me, we're looking at repealing obamacare. i wonder if it was even a thought out policy position by donald trump or whether it was just a quip that he made and we know that he's long harbored a sense of grievance about john mccain, didn't like him and takes any opportunity he can find to criticize him. i wonder if it was as much that as something he's seriously thinking of doing not that the white house hasn't leaped on this. >> both of you are right in saying that there doesn't seem in many cases with donald trump stuff, there doesn't seem to be a big, deep policy thing behind this thing. there's something political about it one way or the other. but, eddie, donald trump does continue to take credit for places in america that have succeeded in pulling back on abortion rights for women. he's recently taken c

the head of the world food program, cindy mccain, the wife of the deceased republican warmonger john mccaine has issued an urgent from the rafah border crossing for safe, expanded humanitarian access to gaza, as humanitarian needs, skyrocket and critical food supplies reach dangerously low levels. people are living in a horrific nightmare, food and water are running out, a steady flow of aid is needed to meet the desperate needs now. italians must be able to deliver it safely and civilians must be able to reach it safely. live coach and media personality fahiima muhammad is with us again for the first installment of palestine in the media. fahima, what is your first item? well, we have the leader of the reform uk richard ty on gb news, commenting after the recent uh palestinian marches that just happen over the weekend, the fourth and as many weeks uh, yes it's probably the fourth one now and and um also talking about the one coming up, so we'll see a clip of what he's talking about in the minute. i worry about next weekend, don't you? do, and i've been worried for weeks and weeks and indeed

see me and raise the relationship and brought me back when i stood in front of that monument to john mccainur. today i talked about how we'll go about seeing this road forward. i've said for a long time, the united states is a pacific power. the discussion yesterday with president xi. he asked me why and i reminded him why we are so engaged in the pacific. it's because we're a pacific nation. because of us, there's been peace and security in the region allowing you to grow. he didn't disagree. i thought it was a very good, straightforward meeting. we aren't going anywhere. for decades, america's enduring commitment to the region has been a springboard that's enabled growth, transformative growth and ensuring the open flow of congress lifted millions of people out of poverty. today that relationship goes both ways. the united states remains in the future of the region, and it is more vital than ever with the united states of america from day one and we have clearly laid out our approach for the indo pacific strategy. the united states has deep ties with our fellow apec economies. more than 6

it's intimate relationship with the pro western opposition with senator john mccain openly courting. some of you claims most on say, read on to russian politicians as per the see a playbook. us didn't really care who got into bed with one strategic goal of undermining rushes, legitimate regional interest was achieved to print an error standards review. great more. my dear a better your make ukraine better. but if you are successful, the united states will stand with you every step of the way. and of course, none of this went unnoticed in moscow to washington had initially asked to insure you on a coal, which is a strength against the protesters all while a covertly worked overflowed in.

if she did that, she would be in the same position john mccain was in 2000 when he beat george w. bush in new hampshire. that gave him a chance. it put him in the ring. they had this epic battle in south carolina. ultimately bush won then won the nomination. if haley runs well in new hampshire, she would give herself a shot in south carolina at really emerging as a true challenger to trump. but to do that, she's in the process of consolidating that 30, 35% of the party that's most resistant to trump. ultimately, she's going to have to win more of what are those maybe trump voters who voted for anymore the past but who are open to an all terntive. so far, she hasn't directly c confronted him. >> let's talk a little bit about those vote nerrs in the middle the fence. looking ahead to next year, what kind of impact do you think a no labels candidate could have on the presidential election? >> you know, donald trump ran twice. he did not come close to 50%. i know there are polls now showing him at times drawing 50%, but given the agenda he's running on calling his political enemies ve

wasn't even tried to hide its intimate relationship with the pro western opposition with senator john mccain openly courting. some of you claims most on savory, on t, russian politicians as per the see a playbook, us didn't really care who got into bed with one strategic goal of undermining russia's legitimate regional interest was achieved to print an error and is review your ukraine better. but if you are successful, the united states will stand with you every step of the way. and of course, none of this went unnoticed in moscow to washington had initially asked to ensure you on a call, which is restraint against the protesters all while it covertly worked overflowed in perfect, but legitimate, democratically elected government of a southern states. because i'm going to be seen many out american partners turn to us. they asked us to do everything. i am now literally recalling the request. so that general coverage does not use the army, so that the opposition vacate to the squares and administrative buildings. and it moves on to implementing the agreement to reach to normalize the situation

i would in no way compare previous republican nominees like john mccain or mitt romney or ronald reagan to the sort of, frankly, dictatorial tendencies that donald trump has. so there's no question that 2024 will be probably the most important election of our lifetime. i know that that phrase has probably been used to describe every presidential election. but truly, as it was for 2020, it applies for 2024 as well. >> aren't you concerned about pennsylvania, though? it has been so razor-thin in terms of the margins in recent presidential elections. biden beat trump there by a little more than a point in 2020. >> let me be clear. as someone who has had my name on the ballot every two years for a long time, i'm concerned about every election, even ones in which the polling shows us leading by 30 or 40 points. i'm under -- >> you're not saying nothing you see here -- >> say that again, jim. >> i'm just checking. you're not saying nothing to see here. >> no. what i'm saying this will be a very hard fought, close election. we have to make sure we fully get a message out that dedefine the stak

know, there are few examples where you can point to where it worked, only one, in modern times was john mccain hampshire, but he say different -- old political hand. he had a real genuine support in the media. maybe not so much outside of media, but, you know, he was a smart techtician, i don't see evidence of that out of ron desantis. larry: rich, i'll come back to, that i don't mean to be redundant but look, there are options, none are palat able for desantis, if he loses to trump that sn that is no fun, but what if he loses to haley, that snow fun -- that is no fun either, trump has a 30. led in iowa. that will rec desantis, seems that anyone that happens, short of actually beating. there you, and desantis is gone. he is gone. tell me if him wrong. >> he has to -- i don't think you are wrong, he needs to iowa, he has to win it or very strong, but he had to win, subject of football, talking about hail mary passes did you see the video of trump at the clemson, south carolina game last weekend, politicians are not greeted kindly by sports fans and football fans, he is out on the field, treated

and john mccain thumbs down. tried it, done it, failed.has been talking about obamacare as the campaign issue for years since that 2018 losing campaign for congressional republicans. so the biden campaign and democrats are thrilled. they want this to be a campaign issue. it's something they can run on that's good. >> because think won back the major ity thes last time. not talking about donald trump when he was in the white house, but really talking about the fear of taking people's health care away. standby. we have some new reporting that you were responsible for. we'll talk about that. kevin mccarthy allegedly dropping the f bomb during a tense phone call with donald trump. a closer look at what sparked the frenmys feud, next. >>> we're getting a new glimpse inside the roller coaster relationship between former house speaker kevin mccarthy and donald trump. today "the washington post" is reporting a phone call between trump and mccarthy after mccarthy was ousted from the speakership. the reporting is during the call, trump blast ed mcca

in 2008, john mccain rejected pastor john hagee's endorsement after the pastor said god sent hitler tows get to israel. this is a clip of hagee's sermon. >> then god sent a hunter. a hunter is someone who comes with a gun and forces you. hitler was a hunter. amy: sarah posner? >> this is part of hagee's overriding theology, that all of history can be sandwiched into his view of what the bible prophecy is about, the return of jesus. basically, what he is saying is -- what he is saying there and essentially saying in other much more recent statements than that is that god has punished or discipline the jews throughout history as part of his plan to get them to return to israel, which is a precondition of jesus's return. he is not trying to make it happen in a faster timetable. he is saying it is all going happen on god's timing. but what he is saying is any world event that is occurring now or has occurred in the past is part of what has been prophesied in the bible and god is directing traffic here. and one of god's intentions is to get jews to return to israel because that is a precond

she has been lindsey graham, john mccain, on this issue and she is rising. you have to go how much of the republican party base is still neocon. will: donald trump the clear front runner far and away, a contest for who could consolidate second place. that graphic has desantis in second. you can intertwine the two of them at this point. desantis was so beloved and so popular it never made sense to me, never did to run headlong into the most powerful political movement the republican party has seen in our generation and attempt to take it on. he tried to criticize but not criticize but then was getting punched by trump so you have to fight back. imagine if he had not declared, the premise of his candidacy just like nikki haley's is donald trump has to fall. the indictments would have to work, that's the premise of his candidacy. if you didn't run and instead ran florida and said i am here in case something -- pete: you think the shadow candidate -- will: if desantis had run the gavin newsom campaign he would be in the catbird seat should something happen to tr

john mccain was against cia, cia director and most of the top people at the state department and in theational security council, especially mcgeorge bundy, the national security advisor, who was very influential with with jfk, very highly respected by jfk. they were in favor of a coup. and so they spent the week arguing it out. and by wednesday, that's the first time kennedy brings up the safety of gm and knew and he says, i don't know if you want to read it. let's see. i don't know if i have the exact book right in front of you, but go ahead. yeah, he says, what's going to happen to them? we we want them to get out of the country safely. if we have any say in it. and so that's the strongest piece of evidence that he wanted them to be safe. but when we look at that in the context of all the cables he was sending to south vietnam, he never turns that into any instruction to henry cabot lodge or to the cia inside, gone in the cia is conducting all the contacts with the south vietnamese generals on the day on the day of this meeting or the day after the cia approaches, us, south vietnamese
