that meant that john mccain was in favor of banning abortion for everyone except his daughter. john mccain was forced to go into republican damage control my calling reporters, saying, i misspoke. what i believe i was saying and intended to say is that this is a family decision. the family decision will be made by the family, not by megan alone. that clarified nothing, of course, except that republican elected officials, especially presidential candidates, do not mean what they say about abortion, they never have. they have always been posturing, and none of them ever wanted to deal with the reality of their position on abortion, which we are now dealing with, and the people of arizona are dealing with tonight, having been thrown back to 1864. to live by a law written by one man who no one elected to anything, back when arizona was a territory, a half-century away from becoming a state. make america great again now means make america great the way it was in 1864. when the territory of arizona was fighting on the side of the confederacy in the civil war to preserve slavery in am

but john mccain didn't either. he was asked by a reporter if he would tell his then 15-year- old daughter that she could not have an abortion if she became pregnant, john mccain said no. i would discuss this issue with cindy and megan and this would be a private decision. that we would share within our family. obviously, i would encourage her to know that baby would be brought up in a loving family. the final decision would be made by megan with our advice and counsel and i think that is such a private matter. yeah. it is. a private matter. all responsible people agreed with that answer. but that was not actually john mccain's position as a candidate and that meant that john mccain was in favor of banning abortion for everyone except his daughter. so he was forced to go into republican damage control says i misspoke. what i believe i was saying and intended to say is this is a family decision. the family decision will be made by the family, not by meghan alone. that clarified nothing, of course. except that republi

my office was john mccain's office for 25 years.moved around the corner to take john kerry's office. i'm there at 7:30. i hear this pounding at my door. i go and open and it there's my armed service committee john mccain. he said listen, this is november 2016. you and i are the only people here who know this feeling, been on a national ticket and lost. i'm going to tell you, the thing you got to do is go right back to work. i said you found me here at 7:30 on a monday. i'm going to keep checking up on you. now give me hillary's number because he wanted to call her. mccain kind of over the course over the next year or so, he would say something to me or kind of argue with me a little bit. it was all about hey, are you sticking to the work? of course sometimes that's the best therapy there is. just go right back to work. the work got important after donald trump become president. >> that's what struck me. his argument to the u.s. senate had never been more important in that moment. >> yeah. absolutely. he very much said that. i felt t

and one of his opponents was john mccain.ohn mccain was a dying man and i believe a dying man that said some nasty things about joe biden. john mccain spoke up and said no, joe biden is a good man. he said all the senators respect him and that is a lie, what they were saying about john mccain. as far as trump is, trump is a liar, a cheat, and the lord himself is going to win. and i believe that the democrats can win, but i don't think that god is for trump. host: mark washington, d.c., independent line. caller: thank you, c-span, always great to hear different colors from all over america. so i really believe in democracy and have family members who fought in the military and work in the executive branch and have worked with multiple political appointees across the administration. i think to me, it is extremely concerning what is going on politically in our country, and i suggest people look at something called the fragile state index. in particular, look at cohesion. it is an indicator in the fragile state index. so i think

he went from al gore's running mate in 2000 to a champion of john mccain.r he would -- the kindness that he showed people is something that i hope, you know, what a legacy. i think we would all want to be remembered as decent, kind, moral. i think we all strive for that. i remember even when trump won. he reached out. he wanted to be helpful, always with that same demeanor that he had, and he was who we said he was, and he was a good man. >> martha: and rick, he was on this program last summer talking about no labels, advocating for no labels, a unity ticket, voters dissatisfied with potential candidates now, joe biden and donald trump. so why was that so important to him, and now what? >> it's kind of a sad piece of a legacy that his final political project, his final endeavor seems to not have gone through. no labels doesn't have a candidate to put forward. chris christie was the latest and he really kicked the tires off. he was thinking about it and he was polling on it and he was trying to figure it out, and he couldn't identify that path. it may be tha

when john mccain ran for president he got 4% of the black vote. when mitt romney ran he got 6%.%. the man the mainstream media loves to call him the triple john mccain double mitt romney and i think it will do better in 2024 then an '16 or '20 which is wonderful news because republicans should make roads in minority communities. under donald trump we're watching it happen. >> and we can get maybe a crystal ball and what might happen november 5th through the latest "wall street journal" poll. african american men now support from 30%, biden 57%, that is an 18-point increase for trump over 2020. black women, smaller increase from a 5% he is up now to 11%. biden had 93% of black women back in 2,020. this is obviously having to give biden heartburn. >> if those numbers are true democrats are locked out of the white house they will surge in the white house with almost 60 seats between 55 and 60 and keep the house or the margins in the house. that is extraordinary for republicans to get 30% or donald trump is 30% of the black male vote. i have been part of one group, john where i saw

john mccain saying, i liked you. you know, like people who weren't captured and saying he's a he's out of the race as this his is it's over before it. but at the same time, he was going to places like flint and saying, i'm going to bring your jobs back. and you had no other who could credibly say this to those people. and you had mitt romney four years earlier who was the candidate so-called let's let detroit go bankrupt, you know, of laying off workers and, you know famously had that new york times op ed, which the obama campaign made huge of. so this was something very different. and he reaps benefits in that fall election. he's about 20 points better in flint than he does than mitt romney did. now turns up again in the 2016 campaign because of the policies of flint water crisis. so you had only a lot of nonwhite have not only a big population of you know people of typically white working class voters formerly employed in the auto industry but no longer, but you also had a huge miner population and you had a huge d

>> now, this is something that goes back to john mccain, john mccain and the gang of eight who wanted to say, listen if there's going to be legal process, give the lawyers give the judges who can actually move people through the system. >> what is this waiting six months, but problem move them through the system for, what i mean, that's the problem. that's what the american people were mad about joe biden solution to this is where does not doing the paperwork fast enough and what the american people are saying is no, we don't want any more coming across until we can get a handle on this overwhelmed border. that is the difference of opinion. not that we're not doing the paperwork fast enough. i don't think it's gonna be able to win on where where are you gonna send people, leave them at the border. that's a way home, not here away, send them back to where they came from, and that's what that's what any pole will tell you. >> that does not involve paperwork. everything in american life, unfortunately, requires paperwork. well, that's not american so does it have to i mean, could you hav

that when they see no action being taken >> one thing that hangs over arizona is the legacy of john mccain, who of course that was the senator there became famous as a maverick, right? someone who was willing to break the mold, obviously his brand of republican politics has really gone by the wayside in the years since he passed away, he obviously saw a trump come to power, but it's snowball has continued to build kari lake, the senate candidate there or had previously told mccain republicans to quite literally get out of her events. she kinda went to war with the mccain family. she seems to be trying to reinvent herself around that as well. i mean, do you see that as something that has the possibility to be six vessel successful amino voters going to buy the idea that she potentially is capable of, quote, unquote, big tent republican party or not, it's a bridge too far. yeah. >> i actually just spoke to former mccain strategist and he told me that it feels like it's a little too late. and you know that it's already a little bit too much on the record and that democrats are definitely goin
