. >> you know, the president compared robert mueller and his team to john mccarthy.tudy the late joseph mccarthy. we are in period with mueller and his gang that makes joseph mccarthy look like a baby. rigged witch hunt. what do you make of that comparison? >> well, the irony is not lost on anyone except perhaps the president talking about mccarthy in a negative sense in the tweet when on the other hand you constantly hear him saying where's the roy cohen? who was joe mccarthy's right-hand man in saying i need somebody who defends me, i need somebody who will speak what i want to be spoken to. and will defend every word i say. so i'm not sure why the president would choose to go after joe mccarthy when at the same time saying he needs his roy cohen. >> there's more to discuss. sources are now saying that president trump is clearly rattled, his legal team in the dark over exactly what the white house counsel don mcgahn told the mueller team and the 30 hours of interviews. >>> plus, the president's former lawyer michael cohen visits his own lawyer on this day as federa

this days after he accused robert mueller of being a modern-day joe mccarthy. john, you've endorsed the notion on twitter that viewing john dean, the former white house counsel who turned on richard nixon, viewing john dean as the villain in the watergate story seems like a tell. explain. >> because you're pointing the finger at the whistle-blower. john dean was somebody who exposed the rot, to borrow a watergate phrase, in the nixon white house. he was not somebody who was haldeman or erlichman or nixon himself or overseeing the wrong doing and calling out the dirty trick play book, john, and so it does get at the president's mentality that in his record there's few greater sins than being a rat and john dean was the nixon council and turned on nixon and exposed the wrong doing in the nixon white house in that famous watergate testimony on capitol hill. to trump, that's the story of what came out of watergate. that tells you everything about his view of loyalty and perhaps the fact that he doesn't have a terribly strong view of the nixon administration's wrongdoing

john, we'll start with you. president trump tweeted, study the late joseph mccarthy.

joseph mccarthy scapegoated the great secretary of state for truman and went after a nobel prize winning states person and just tried to smear them. you see trump doing the same thing with johnnan. it is because both mccarthy and trump have a fear of what we are calling the deep state. >> the president today also tweeting white house council don mcgahn is not a quote john dean type rat. i asked john dean what were his conversations with president nixon like after nixon found out dean had testified against him. >> unpleasant. >> seriously? >> i was very open when i broke rank in doing so. i think i told my predecessor and then president's top domestic adviser. i told the chief of staff. i told them what i was going to do after i failed to convince the president to stop the cover up. i said somebody has to go talk to the lawyers about this. this thing has got to end. i tried to convince my colleagues that we should all go to the grand jury. i couldn't sell that. >> doug, a source telling cnn mcgahn did not provide information that would be incriminating against the president. does a dean mcgahn comparison hold up at this point? >> it is quite telling that donald trump uses the

as if mccarthy had become president to go to john's point about it getting old. roy cohn, joe mccarthy's counsel and donald trump's. sometimes you don't have to make this stuff up. it falls in your lap. he wrote a book about mccarthy saying, a., he bought anti-communism the way other people buy a used car, it was just a vehicle to take over the american politics and particularly in the right wing, and secondly, people got tired of the show. they got tired of having as fdr once said, the highest note in the scale repeated again and again and again. >> susan del percio, then donny. what's your gut? >> the first thing i thought of listening, again, to all of this falsehoods is, wow, this is really why his attorneys, president trump's attorneys, do not want him to go in front of robert mueller. he gets all revved up and he just -- he simply cannot tell the truth, and, yes, it's getting old, but thank goodness people are still speaking up and trying to, you know, speak out against it, but, boy, is he in trouble if he goes in front of mueller. >> donny? >> the saddest a

john, you're wrong. >> i'm not wrong. >> andrew mccarthy -- >> hang on, tara.ou cannot say day is night, night is day. there is a crime. >> you're the one doing that. >> whether you think michael cohen violated it, that may be your opinion he did not, but there is absolutely a crime. >> no, there is not. that's fake news. >> can i tell you what the fec rules say? they say if an expenditure would have been made irrespective of the campaign then it's not a campaign contribution. there are many reasons why the stormy daniels payment would have been made -- >> the law does not say that. what the jury can find is that if the expenditure was made outside the purview of the campaign for personal use then they are not guilty of that crime. there is a crime on the books, steve. michael cohen pleaded guilty to it. stop. michael cohen pleaded guilty to it and now i'm going to give tara a chance to talk because the idea that it's not a crime is a lie that has been spread by people close to the president. >> that's right. andrew mccarthy, a former prosecutor who has been ve

great to see you majority leader kevin mccarthy stay with us more money "life and legacy of john mccain. out there. and the alzheimer's association is going to make it happen. but we won't get there without you. join the fight with the alzheimer's association. maria: welcome back this morning we are remembering the life of arizona senator john mccain who lost his brave battle with brain cancer yesterday, at the age of 81. looking at the flag at the capitol at half staff this morning in honor of the senator let's bring in california congressman darrell issa he's been on capitol hill roughly as long as senator mccain was and congressman very good to see you thanks for joining us. >> well my length of service pa les in comparison to the late senator but i did have the honor of serving with him and everyone has a story, half of my stories are sitting in the barber's chair with mario as he got what little hair he had cut once a week, every week. but also, being in pakistan at the base that gary powers took off in that famous incident as we were looking at the pakistan/ afghan border and this

john foster dulles, senator mccarthy, but also general douglas mcarthur, world figures like castro, all of these people occupied eisenhower's time. they all occupied his mental universe. it does no disservice to history to bring them right into the front of the story, because they were front and center in his world on a regular basis. the challenge is how do you fit it into one book? how do you do it? that's where the sweat really comes. how do you cover all of this and be comprehensive, while also doing what historians do, which is to be original, to do detailed research and not overshadow with all of tease colorful characters your subject. not have the president suddenly disappear, because everybody else is much more interesting. and that's a risk in the eisenhower period. some of these characters are more colorful than eisenhower, hard to believe, but true. that leads to the second point i want to read. so many subjects have been written about the 1950s, about all the topics i just mentioned. what's the challenge -- you know, the challenge that we face is, how do you bring deep resea

. >> tonight, a high ranking military veteran is coming to john brennan's defense, accusing the commander in chief of using mccarthy era tactics against his critics. this is very strong pushback from a respected retired admiral who oversaw the raid that killed osama bin laden. >> a highly respected military leader, a retired navy admiral. william mccraven led operations command from 2011 to 2014. he oversaw that navy seal raid that led to the killing of osama bin laden, writing this scathing op ed in the "washington post" going after the president in very direct terms, saying he has not risen to the presidency and saying, i would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well. you have embarrassed us, humiliated us on the world stage and worst of all divided us as a nation. if you think for a moment your mccarthy era tactics will suppress voices of criticism, you are sadly mistaken. mccraven has been critical of this president in the past. he had some very strong remarks about the president calling the press the enemy of the people, calling it, quote, the greatest threat to democracy he's ev

after listening to the mccarthy advocates and the children on the ballot or the ballot children, i can now understand why john send comparatively speaking did not do very well in new hampshire. imagine if the ballot children had been able to vote. paul, one of the reasons, by the way, that mccarthy did so well in portsmouth was that i was chair of the johnson campaign. i spent all that they at unh. unh do not have many mccarthy -- many johnson supporters. i had to convince two friends of mine from my dorm to hold signs for johnson and the way i did it was i promise them a sixpack that night. i think we had two because of the news although i think both of them were supporting mccarthy. the johnson campaign was not very well run. the ballot -- the pledge ballot or the pledge card that a couple of the mccarthy supporters referred to and i got this from susan roman who is from durham and has collected some incredible things. she's given this to me. what to put it on ebay. just kidding, susan. it was a three-part card that supposedly a voter was supposed to put his name down and then fill out the information leadi

john brennan a hack. we've already discussed that. but the personal attacks comparing bob mueller in the last 24 hours to joe mccarthy?aterial, i would say. but when the first lady says children are more aware and more vulnerable than some adults, then stephanie grisham on her behalf put out two statements today. one before a lot of the criticism and one about an hour later, which included a reference to the president, in fact. >> yeah, i mean, i think you have to separate these things out. one is the actual message that she's trying to carry forward, which is that cyberbullying is a real problem that can make some of the most vulnerable people, children in our society, can harm them in very deeply psychological ways. n that's true. all that is true. but you cannot separate that from the fact that her husband is perhaps the most prominent cyberbullier in, you know, the nation. it's wild. and so i think that, you know, to a certain degree, they have to with the irony and figure out how to handle it. i don't feel, i feel particularly bad for stephanie griffin because she has a difficult job in her happennds. stephanie p

mccarthy and once again called the investigation a rigged witch hunt. mr. trump also blasted "the new york times" report that implies white house counsel don mcgahn provided, quote, john dean-type information to the special counsel. john dean was a lawyer for richard nixon who spilled the beans on watergate. errol barnett is traveling with the president in new jersey. >> reporter: president trump appeared on the defensive all morning, insisting he allowed white house counsel don mcgahn to be insure viewed by the special counsel because, quote, i have nothing to hide. calling the russia probe disgusting and robert mueller conflicted. >> they're down to desperation time. they have to write a report and they don't have a single bit of evidence. >> reporter: the president's personal lawyer rudy giuliani is still negotiating terms of an interview between the president and special counsel. >> i'm not going to be rushed into having him testify so that he gets trapped into perjury. >> reporter: he fears the president's testimony could be used against him. >> truth isn't truth. donald trump says, i didn't talk about flynn with comey. comey says, you did talk about it. so tell

leader robert mccarthy last year most know it would take more than one words to unite this country. as now look at some of the other stories making news around the world u.s. senator john mccain has died at the age of eighty one after a year long struggle with brain cancer he had a distinguished military and political career mccain was shot down during the vietnam war and held captive for more than five years has served as a u.s. senator for more than thirty years and made. to feel for the presidency. the head of the so-called islamic state in afghanistan has been killed in an airstrike authorities say a joint ground operation by afghan and foreign forces in eastern. province killed. and ten other members. it's an interior minister much sales of any is under investigation for his role in preventing migrants rescued at sea from disembarking insisting. only allowed people to disembark after five days on board when albania island and the vatican agreed to take in the migrants. pope francis has wrapped up his controversial visit to ireland by seeking forgiveness for the catholic church's sex abuse scandals around half a million people turned out to hear the pope say mass a

mccarthy, thank you very much. >> thanks, shannon. >> shannon: white house chief of staff john kelly has told staffers he will stay on the job through 2020 as per request of president trump. the move comes as he marks one year at the white house. he replaced reince priebus in july of 2017 and was tasked with imposing structure on the west wing. today was justice anthony kennedy's last day in the supreme court. the battle over confirming his replacement is just beginning. becoming more partisan, as democrats demand years worth of documents from judge brett kavanaugh, long before he joined the federal bench by the chairman of the senate judiciary committee slamming the effort as "a fishing expedition," accusing the senator democrat leader chuck schumer of showboating. >> the minority leader could have learned this by simply having a conversation with me instead of putting on a political show in front of tv cameras earlier today. >> shannon: we'll watch it as a continuous. if you work on the border wall and apply for a construction permit in san diego, you could be blacklisted. the city is allegedly refusing to grant

mccarthy is the house majority leader joining me right now. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me back. maria: any special stories can share with us of your time with john mccain this morning? >> i just believe great nations require great sacrifice from their leader. there's been few leaders that the have ever sacrificed as much as john mccain. he was fierce, he was loyal, he would work across the other side of the aisle but he could be the very best person in a battle. i think the very best story is not one that he told but one that he showed. if you just watched him put his jacket on, he never complained about what he went through, but the pain of putting on a jacket, raising the hand, it was more than his speech it showed sacrifice. he could make fun of himself but there's many times when we were in the legislative battle and we knew we're not going to win this and we knew we're going against the odds of the establishment and others. he's the one that i'd want to be in the fight with, because he didn't care and he would never give up and it wasn't that that day we didn't win. we're going to win the argument and eventually win the fight. maria: well h

joe mccarthy was never quiet for a week let alone a year. >> there's everything unsettling about it, john, including rudy giuliani's undocumented attack on mueller for leaking. they have not leaked at the special counsel's office. they have been absolutely careful about their responsibility, not to leak information. this is a textbookcase of projection where somebody takes their own misgivings and bad acts and projects them on someone else. mueller is a complete boy scout as far as conducting an honest and fair investigation is concerned. there's no evidence whatsoever that they are violating their responsibility not to leak. on the other hand giuliani leak all the time. >> thanks so much for being with us. appreciate your insight. >> an update on a crime story. we could learn why colorado prosecutors believe that chris watts, who you see there killed his pregnant wife and daughters when he is formally charged with the crime today. we have a live report for you next. so you have, your headphones, chair, new laptop, 24/7 tech support. yep, thanks guys. i think he might need some support. y

mccarthy is also among them. but also 1,000 seats were reserved for the public that john mccain was so endeared to.s morning and they are now filling the chapel or have filled the chapel and the ceremony -- i want to bring back nancy, she served as a senior policy advisor and national spokesperson for senator mccain's 2008 campaign. the church is now filled and the casket has been brought inside and you can see right there, vice president joe biden who will deliver the keys speech in today's ceremony. very quickly, i want to get your thoughts on this before we may have to stop and turn it over to the ceremony. >> my overwhelming feeling right now is to imagine what senator senator mccain would think if he can -- and i believe he probably can look down from heaven and see all of this but i would be surprised -- he would be surprised to see how much people care for him. he was a person of fierce emotion and when he felt love and loyalty, that got across. i'm just so incredibly pleased to see how many people care enough for him to show up for him and to honor what he did for our country. >> do you thi

mccarthy look like a baby. rigged witch hunt. our power panelist, marianne moore former senior advisor to john kerry. a board of directors for the independent women's forum. great to have you both. let's start with the ratcheting up of rhetoric, nan, and where you are with the president comparing it to that. >> the president has a reason to feel as though this is a prosecution that feels never to end. >> would you compare it to hunting communists in the federal government? >> may be a modern day term we could use is john brennan-ism. those attacks with no evidence whatsoever, and in fact his peace in "the new york times" last week had no evidence that the president somehow, his election was due to russian pollution. and yet he persists in much the same way. joseph mccarthy in the 50s that i have a list of communists in the government. >> the more closer that mueller gets to trunk, the more trump lashes out. we saw this and other investigations whether it was the paul manafort trial rhythm michael: radar, or his son being in trouble for the trump tower meeting. now he finds out that his counsel has sp

johning me a historian. welcome, sir, to the show. you know, you say it in your book title, most hated senator, comparing mccarthy to mueller, a competent enforcement official, you tell me what president trump gets so wrong with this comparison? >> well, i don't know if he got as much wrong as you might think, actually. because i think what we have to do is weigh the difference between an historical judgment which of course now mccarthy has been dead for almost 60 years versus what is unfolding right now in washington, d.c. on the political and on the legal front. and what happens on the headline basis, as you know at cnn as opposed to the way in which history and historians think about events afterwards are two very often very different things. >> explain. >> we weighed in on mccarthy. where we weigh in with robert mueller is still to be seen. what i would say, and i understand, i think, where trump's tweet was coming from is the question of what kinds of investigation joe mccarthy preside over versus the type of investigation that robert mueller is. i think we have to be careful here on another historical point to separate out joe mcc

so john, i want to get to the president's tweet yesterday where he compared the special counsel investigation to mccarthyism. study the late joseph mccarthy now in a period that make with mueller and his gang that make joseph mccarthy look like a baby, rigged witch hunt. >> i don't think donald trump kn knows his history very well. this is real draw to find any comparisons between joseph mccarthy and bob mueller. it just doesn't fit at all, and his entire defense team -- i just talked to non sequiturs, the business he could run the investigation, that's not true. the president does not control a grand jury. a grand jury is an independent body. and that grand jury would toss him out if he tried to get in and tell them what to do. >> does the president really want the american people study mccarthy? joseph mccarthy was a demagogue. he relied on baseless accusations. >> if the american people studied mccarthy they'd say, wow, he bears a lot of resemblance to president trump. he would hurl accusations without any questions or facts. mueller would not speak with the press, if anything he's going on forever to make sure he's getting all the fac

mccarthy led an inquisition into an alleged communist infiltration into the u.s. government. they were later to be found a fraud and hoax. >>> john brennan is now threatening to sue president trump for stripping him of his security clearance. >> these are frightening times. he's drunk on power. he really. >> brennan told "meet the press" he's already spoken to several lawyers about his options. >> if my clearances and my reputation as i'm being pulled through the mud now, if that's the price we are going to pay to prevent donald trump from doing this to other people it's a small price to pay. so i am going to do whatever i can personally to try top prevent these abuses in the future. and if the means going to court, i will do that. >> at the present time revoked brennan's clearance last week and threatened a long list of others including critics and those connected to the russia probe. dozens of former intelligence officials blasted the move as an attempt to stifle free speech. but not everyone disagrees. the president's supporters say brennan abused his privilege. >> when you are an ex cia director going on all the cable news sh

john, we'll start with you. president trump tweeted, study the late joseph mccarthy. rigged witch hunt.arthy, and how this is relevant, or not? >> yeah. this is a case where i think he's suggesting the wrong course. the more you look at joe mccarthy, the more you realize that joe mccarthy has become president, not the joe mccarthy is working in the special counsel's office. joe mccarthy was a junior senator from wisconsin on lincoln's birthday in 1950. he gave a speech in wheeling, west virginia where he said he had in his hand the names of 205 communists, the number wandered down in the state department, the number wandered down to 57, and ultimately he didn't find any. he came to anti-communism late. there were communist agents in the government but they'd been largely taken care of by the truman administration. the lesson was, mccarthy was a freelanced reporter entranced by his own name in print, on the radio and on television. he was a figure of a new modern media age that was unfolding in the early 1950s, and was ultimately undone according to his own rudy giuliani, a man named roy

at john dowd who spoke with the attorney william burke is telling fox news, don mcgann is a very strong witness for the president. former federal prosecutor andy mccarthy said the lengthy conversation he had with white house counsel may make the prospect of interviewing the president even more remote. >> he needs to get past the hurdle that he has a need to speak to the president. i don't see how he gets past that if he is talked to a lawyer that can tell them what the president was thinking and what he was saying when he made the decisions that mueller is looking at. >> the president's attorneys have yet to hear back from mueller on the response to his conditions for an interview and a sterile fear or a perjury trap. the wind laying out that argument sunday, rudy giuliani got trapped in his own language. >> when you tell me that he should testify because he's going to tell the truth, that he shouldn't worry, that's so silly, because of somebody's version of the truth, not the truth. >> i don't mean to -- that's not truth. >> no, it isn't true, truth isn't truth. >> that comment got a slam from adam schiff who tweeted "today rudy giuliani added to the

that but i know that john mccain understood the importance of moments where the country stops and takes stock. when you think about other dark times in american history, the mccarthy era, what broke the fever of our national obsession at that time? it was one decent man doing his job in an honorable way. and i think one of the really wonderful things about who john mccain was and what his living legacy will be is that he made a series of choices about the big moments. as we were talking about before, the concession speech in 2008. he understood very well that this had the potential to be one of those moments for our country, and he wanted to send a very clear message by inviting the two men who had defeated him for the presidency in 2000 and 2008 to be people who spoke at his funeral. it's a really beautiful, really generous, really ennobling reminder that average people -- john mccain wasn't an average person, but he thought of himself as somebody almost like in a movie, an average man reaching deep inside himself to come up with the handfuls of grit and decency that are needed in the moment. i think this feels like one of these moments and john understood it in

john brennan and soon, thereafter, officials republicans and democrats wrote to the president calling the actions inappropriate and deeply regrettable. separately, retired admiral, william that supervised the raid that killed osama bin laden accused him of mccarthy here. what do we make of this commotion? >> here is the big picture, this is really serious business. we have open warfare, open warfare between the intelligence community and the president of the united states. now, instead of these two critical components of american government working together, to protect the nation's interest at home and abroad, they are at each other's throats. they will affect the nation's ability to defend themselves because they have a wealth, just a wealth of institutional memory of flash points all around the world. they are often consulted by current government officials for their knowledge. these vital relationships are now threatened. >> i'm wondering if i missed something. how did we even get here? >> okay. look, for some time now, several national security officials criticized president trump for not condemning russia's intrusive role in the 2016 elections and is continuing interference in the american political process to this day. former cia director,

whether they were coming to demonstrate, to radicalize mccarthy gets picked they felt we were using rocket pods to put kids up against the bayonet. john winter, our old boss, really, he knew the -- he was not a radical. self-appointed coder ray would have a legitimate constituency. a corrupt political machine. he helped to disrupt, to which abby hartman -- abbie hoffman, the yippies visionary, labeler -- later labeled him the benedict arnold of the 1960s. others were supported. julius lester was one of the most thoughtful writers of the guardian. frankly, one of the few black writers in the underground press. the underground press was male at this point. he writes -- he likes the idea that it was politicizing hippies. it wasn't just people looking to get stoned. but they were saying -- head over the head with a nightstick. and it was also avoiding new left nitpicking. he saw the yippies as the liberated zone. jerry was kind of a barker in some ways. even though he was a very clever organizer. for my book, as long as chicago is accepted as a legitimate activity and people had an opinion about it, -- the pt barnum theory. he was on boar

john brennan of his security clearance for down the white house is considering others who have been critical of the president . the man who oversaw the raid that killed osama bin laden called president trump's moves mccarthyra tactics. retired it may be out ball william craven wrote in the washington post that he would consider it an honor if president trump revoked his clearance as well. >>> running for president could be a topic with east bay congressman eric small well has a meet and greet with constituents at the east bay cafi depot in fremont. the three term representative just returned from his native iowa but it was his sixth visit to the key caucus state this year. he regularly appears on national television and on social media to criticize president trump. he sat down with us here and says he is definitely considering a presidential bid in 2020. >> this president has been a wrecking ball to our democracy. i have tried to be a voice against what he is doing and a vote and someone that is offering a different vision. >> although small well sits on the house intelligence and judiciary committees analysts say he is not as well-known as other democrats who are also thinking about a white house run in

>> john: i know that there's this narrative in the press that there's a distinction between the president and the rest of his administration. i got to know the late democratic senator eugene mccarthyiconoclast. use to describe the press as a group of birds sitting on a telephone wire. one would fly off and then they would all fly off. that's what this narrative i think it is all about. the president knew exactly what was going to be said at that press briefing on thursday. he's the one who directed it be held. it came as the result of a national security council meeting we had held the friday before where the heads of the operating agencies and departments who attended the press briefing on thursday and others told the president, he felt it was important that the american people hear directly from the people responsible for election security at the federal level. hear what they were up to. at least in a nonclassified environment. >> chris: they are saying this is a clear and present danger that russia dated in 2016, are continuing to do it now. you have the secretary of homeland security with her hair on fire saying our democracy is in the cross hairs and then you have president t

john: i don't know if republicans will hold the senate or the house. said, great philosopher never make predictions, especially about the future. what it seems very likely will turn to the next in line, kevin mccarthy, the majority leader. might and up speaker or minority leader, believe me, he'll take either. him will be congressman steve scalise of louisiana, who became even more of a beloved figure after his near-death in a shooting during baseball practice. >> one potential republican ticket in the post trump era could be nikki haley and steve scalise. to this can come back script a few years to come and say they called it. who knows. we have a call from new jersey on the independent line. -- goodod morning area morning. say, the angryto of the hillary supporters and the fake news media against our president is really sad. this president has done more for our veterans, more than mr. mccain has done, in the sense that he has allowed our veterans , instead ofal care dying because they had to wait , has happenedths in the last administration. he has also, by the way, not in millions of jobs, improve the -- host: i think we lost him. but he brings up a good question. the relationship between presid

mccarthy. i guess what this gets to here, there are six tweets by the president this morning on this. when you look at this and look at the actions about johnan this week, he seems to be most energized with anything having to do with the mueller investigation. everything is happening through the prism of that investigation. >> you're right, he is very much interested in that investigation and he should be. i agree with the governor that this seems to be on mcgahn's part self-preservation. i think that story is in the "times" because mcgahn wanted it in the "times." remember, mueller is looking at obstruction and mcgahn was there for the comey decision, there when the president was threatening to fire mueller. mcgahn said i'll quit if you do that. they have a lot to talk about, mueller and mcgahn. so the president i think is right to be following this very, very closely. in terms of brennan, george, i just think that was an empty gesture. it's not going to stop the criticism. you've elevated the platform of a critic like brennan. i do understand -- >> that sounds worse than empty. >> well, empty gesture on the part of president trump to do i

>> eugene mccarthy had a tough relationship with the kennedys for some time, in part because he thought he should be the first catholic president, not john f. kennedy. he never really got over the way that bobby kennedy got in the race in 1968. the morning after the new hampshire primaries, kennedy says he is reassessing whether he will run and i think the feeling among mccarthy supporters was he had stolen the gifts under the christmas tree from mccarthy by stealing the thunder after that performance in new hampshire. the animosity between them grew as the campaign went on and kennedy was not a fan of mccarthy's either. he was a tough person to like. but also a thing that is interesting is he didn't like that kennedy was a very emotional kind of guy. he got his audiences revved up and excited and he didn't think that was appropriate for politics. he used to say that kennedy had all these outreach groups, to african-americans and hispanics and you thought that was not the way politicians worked. he complained he has all these outreach groups like the flavors at baskin robbins. he didn't think it was appropriate. he would not have been su

maria: absolutely we'll get their reaction to john mccain's passing from the inside the house when we speak with the majority leader kevin mccarthyiously the most consequential mid-term elections in our lifetime. i would say so many things are on this mid-term election. ed: bruce ohr is finally going behind closed doors and being interviewed by house judiciary. you've got critics saying the president has conspiracy theory. no wait a second this guy is right in the center of the dossier. maria: there's no conspiracy here. the bottom line is bruce ohr and his wife were profiting from the dossier which was used to get a warrant to wire tap the american citizen. most people don't realize he was speaking to christopher steele way after he was supposed to be. he wasn't even supposed to be a source any more for the fbi and there you have bruce ohr having meetings with christopher steele and then of course as i mentioned we learned his wife was working for fusion gps putting that dossier together so bruce ohr and his wife profited from the dossier. what i want to know is did his boss know that, sally yates, at the time sally yates was th

john brennan after taking his security clearance away. but first, we will get to that, trading blows over censorship concerns. kevin mccarthyto a tweet blocked for potentially sensitive content from laura ingram last friday. he wrote this, another day, another example of conservatives being censored on social media. he told jack dorsey from twitter to fix this. nancy pelosi responded on twitter. she said rather than adjust his twitter settings questio kevin y chooses to perpetuate a conspiracy theory. mccarthy fired back, tweeting nancy has no idea what is going on. i spoke with the house majority leader about steps he's taking to fight allegations of censorship online back in june. watch this. >> a number of us are meeting together, we have brought some of the ceos before the committee. there needs to be transparency. we have to remember, the founding of the internet was about freedom and free speech. they need to keep to it. otherwise, they're going to find something much more happening to them. maria: joining us right now is mike huckabee. thank you for joining us this morning. >> always a pleasure. thank you. maria: as

mccarthy had had a tough relationship with the kennedys for a long time. even very tough on jack kennedy. in part because he thought he should be the first catholic president, not john f. kennedy. and he never really got over the way that bobby kennedy got in the race in '68. because the night, the morning an xz after, he wins the new hampshire primary, and he says he's reassessing whether or not he's going to run. the feeling among mccarthy is a lot of his supporters was, these are stolen, the gifts under the christmas tree from mccarthy by stealing his thunder right after this impressive performance in new hampshire. so the animosity between them grew as the campaign went along. a lot of people weren't huge fans of mccarthy. he was a tough person to like. and it's interesting that one thing that mccarthy didn't like ubbobby kennedy is he was a very emotional candidate. he got into audiences revved up and excited. he didn't think that was appropriate for politics. he used to say that kennedy had all of these outreach groups, outreach to the american groups to african-americans, to hispanics, he thought that was not the way a politician should work. he says he has a
