[ laughter ] no! mccain, you can take that wherever you are going to take it. [ laughter ] no, mccain, you don't get to

for debate on the mccain amendment be equally divided between snores mccain and -- senators mccain and myself oregon designees and that at 5:30, the senate proceed to a vote in relation to the mccain amendment, there be no amendments in order to the amendment prior to the vote. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. durbin: mr. president, i want to -- i don't know if senator mccain is near is by, but if he is, i want to give him a chance to come over and use the uminutes remaining before the -- the few minutes remaining before the roll call vote. but for those members of the senate who did not listen to the earlier statements by senator mccain and myself, this amendment is very basic and very straightforward. senator mcquey mccain would cutr eliminate the ability of the department of defense to give grants to three organizations -- fisher house, red corks and u.s.o. fisher house is the ronald mcdonald house of veterans hospitals. i visited the one in chicago, talked to my colleagues about other fibber house facilities around america. they are remarkable and amazing places. fishe

but john mccain starts walling them wacko and wacko birds. the people that were around rand paul around that. mike leigh, ted cruz. is there a change now? is john mccain too far out there and this is the new group that's going to run the senate and the gop? >> i don't know. i like rand paul. he's a very intelligent guy. he made some good points. but he does look -- i hate to say, he can look a little nutty. and anytime anybody talks for 12 hours you're going to look nutty. and it's the old guard who have been ineffective. they've lost the white house.

or do you share john mccain's view? >> well, i share john mccain's view that it's not possible.the technology, the drone technology. but the laws and the constitution that the president has to abide by haven't changed. so whether it's a drone or a machine gun, it's the same laws that apply. the president can't use lethal force against an american citizen. you know, unless that citizen is an enemy combatant or engaged in terrorism. so nothing has changed here except for the use of technology. >> but let's be clear. one of the reasons that rand paul did this was the fact that that question was put to the administration repeatedly, and it did not answer it. and there was a reason for him to ask, to press this point. it had been raised in brennan's confirmation hearings. and no one would answer that question as forthrightly as stephanie just did. that was the principle he was upholding there. michael steele, in the end, we've talked about ways in which there are fissures being exposed on the republican side. stephanie pointed out there's also fissures on the democratic side. as we p

what does this do to burnish the legacy of john mccain?a lot of ways, the choice of sarah palin, 2008 campaign, the magic of yore was gone and an any old man replaced him. it seems he's reluctant to drop the term of illegals. other moments in town halls and we don't have time to play them, where he has defended the contribution of immigrants to society, to the economy. is this the how the john mccain got his grove back? >> i don't know if he has his groove back. the illegal comment was very much in character. he answered the question i believe trustfully and straight talk behind it. he has been not all over the map, but the incarnations of john mccain, the maverick to the supermaverick to the agitators to the base guy to the nominee to the real base guy when he was trying to get re-elected in the primary in 2010, to now a post 2012 version. i think, look, republicans agree that this is -- this might be a short-term win for obama, but a long-term problem. if they can get something big done now, they can take it off the table, or at least bl

now senator mccain, here's the problem.like with senator mccain and graham, that there's not a war they don't want to fight. there's not a battle they don't want to engage. that, i think is really exhausting, considering the heavy price and cost this country has already paid, including, by the way, a war this country didn't fight, that senator mccain led the rally for. so criticize senator paul for what needs to be criticized, but senator mccain is pushing the notion he can be justifiably -- >> you know, they're going to have people scratching their heads on that one. let's talk about rand paul and what this means to his rising star, as they were talking about it on fox news. >> i thought it was a brilliant political play by paul? >> it was genius. look. i would call it a stunt, except for the fact that he was entirely sincere, and he was entirely right. >> entirely right. you know, in that politico interview as well. rand paul was asked about his run for 2016, potential run. perry he said i think our party needs something

john mccain is taking on the drone program. last might for the filibuster that was provided by senator paul. i don't disagree that we need more debate, more discussion, and frankly probably more legislation to make sure that america does protect the rights of all of our citizens, to make sure at the same time that if someone is an enemy combatant, that enemy combatant has nowhere to hide. not in a cafe, not anywhere, but to say that somehow that even though we will try to take that person to say that we would hit them in a cafe with a hellfire missile, first of all, there are no drones with hellfire missiles anywhere near. they're over in places like yemen and afghanistan and other places in the world. so we've done, i think, a disservice to a lot of americans by making them believe that somehow they are in danger from their government. they are not. but we are in danger -- we are in danger from a dedicated long-standing, easily replaceable leadership enemy that is hellbent on our destruction, and this leads us to having to do

mccain with respected. i don't think i always get the same in return. >> so, aaron, why did mccain and lindsey graham attack him on the senate floor? didn't it hurt mccain and graham? >> it might. i think this is an area where graham and mccain have a very significant policy difference with rand paul and a lot of the new republicans who are joining the senate these days. at the same time, i think this is an issue -- you know, the rand paul filibuster got a lot of attention because it was fascinating this guy was talking for 13 hours. it wasn't necessarily that people in the republican party were embracing his message, so to speak. so, you know, i think the republican party is very much split on this issue but i don't think it's a point of emphasis. i do think it's interesting that mccain and graham are spending time making this point and mccain even calling somebody names, which is unusual for the senate. but i don't think this is going to be a big deal long term given that foreign policy is not at the top

john mccain has just apologized for that comment. i think mccain realizes that the party is moving in a different direction. the appeal of a nonintervention of foreign policy is picking up speed within the party and rand paul stopped by national review earlier this week. he's a charismatic figure and that matters in politics. this is a guy who resonates with a lot of people and i think he has a bright future in republican politics. >> did john mccain revised his remark? i did not know that. >> he apologized. >> good for him. he was jealous that someone could stand up for 12 hours without urinating. >> rand paul had help with other folks. i agree with the fact that we ought to be putting pressure on the justice department and the administration to come forward with a lot of clearances. what was your take on it? situation he's in, many conservatives -- his father rand walk into a room and is the opposite. diffuse for ways to the situation. people who have served in politics understand how important that is. i had the privilege of going

>> i have a great deal of respect for senator mccain.gree on some things but i respect his war service and years as a p.o.w. and he's a voice for people who believe in national security, but so do i. i don't want to say there can't be more than one way to defend the country and there's not room for military programs not used wisely. senator mccain has said the same. >> neil: have you talked to each other privately, one-on-one? >> we do. we ride in the same elevator, ride the escalator we're cordial. senator mccain and i are fine. we're going to disagree sometimes. but i also don't think that the people, even sometimes senator mccain who thinks we're so different, i don't care we are. he harkens back and says he admires reagan. well, so do i. we have a different twist on what we think reagan represented but he represented a strong national defense and i believe in a strong national defense. on that, senator mccain and i should be in agreement. >> neil: we're just learning -- you probably know, a measure to keep the government funded throu

as senator mccain said the whole region is in fluid flux.egypt, when we visited with president morsi senator mccain was very clear as was the delegation that they have to stop the flow of these weapons through the sinai into gaza. last week's news that we are now we are now going to stop the time most is helpful but we have to draw more -- morsi closer to us and we have to engage him and why secretary kerry's trip over there, giving him $250 million is a step in the right direction. without a stable economy there you will continue to see a slide towards regimes and leadership that are not going to be pro- u.s. are pro-israel. >> general yadlin you look around the region that senator gillibrand has cited and take us inside israeli decision-making. it's our understanding that the possibility of iran getting nuclear capabilities that biggest concern. you talk about all these other countries and you had further east and even iraq, student instability in fact now that u.s. forces are gone. israeli strategists look at the map and how do they rank

rand paul versus mccain you're talking about. but look at now the immigration thing. some of them are coming out saying we need to change that. a lot of them are saying no, under no conditions can you do that. now you have some republicans after the election saying maybe we should consider being for gay marriage. most of them are saying there's no way you can be for that. there's a lot of emerging strains of just coming together because this is a party and it's a movement that's under considerable pressure. it's been -- it's been rejected again by the voters in the presidential election, and it's driving them crazy. and you're seeing a lot of stuff. i love watching this. this is almost as much fun as going to tiger stadium, watching lsu playing an s.e.c. game. i'm enjoying it, to tell you the truth. >> that means you liked watching jeb bush earlier this week on immigration. there was a lost bouncing around on that. >> right. exactly. and he's really talented. governor bush is all tied up in a knot, too. there's a lot of people tied up in a knot. >> all right, james. y

the mccains or the rand pauls? >> well, i'm really disappointed in john mccain.by it. mccain in his younger years was a great maverick. he took on his party all the time. the idea that he's lecturing the next generation because they have the guts to stand up, which i would have thought john mccain would have applauded the news, and say, i may not agree with you in detail, but i'm proud that you're standing up with your beliefs. i don't know what's happening to john mccain but i find it very sad. >> on the substance of the issue whether or not the obama administration needed to spell out the use of drones against u.s. citizens on u.s. soil, who is right? >> if our constitution means anything, it means that your government can't capriciously kill you without the rule of law. and it was very clear from the attorney generals earlier in letters that they were reserving the right -- remember, we're not talking about combatant engaged in fighting. the minute you do that -- >> but it's okay to kill american citizens in yemen -- >> who are combatants. >> like anwar al awl

boy lindsey graham because john mccain is upset then lindsey is upset too.the go ahead that john mccain -- in fact -- went on actually to call at it disservice to raise this issue. >> so we have done i think a disservice to a lot of americans by make them believe that somehow they are in danger from their government. they are not. >> by the way, what have republicans done for the past five or six years? making their terrified that the government is going to take your guns. everyone wants to take over your lives. >> bill: yeah, that's all they do is the scare tactic and rand paul was responding to later from the attorney general of the united states who said we have the legal authority to kill americans on american soil with a drone. jesus, that's worth raising the question about it. and it was john mccain and lindsey graham, what service do they provide by raising the big issue of benghazi and accusing president obama for being responsible for the death of ambassador stephens when the congress had cut the funding. so they made a huge phony deal about ben gau

but i hate agreeing with john mccain.ing wrong people the mega phone. does he remember that he handed sarah palin the mega phone? you gave the mega phone to a pit bull and she has not let it go. do not talk about who we should hand it to. >> john: really quick before we go to break. jeb bush, he said that his brother will be remembered kindly by history. does anyone in in the john birch society believe that one? >> he's in a tough position having to defend his brother right now. actually the black sheep became president, so now it's turned around. >> at some point you have to realize that even though he's your brother he's still a loser and you can't defend him. people have to get to the point where, yes i understand that he's my brother. he's a lunatic and i'm changing my last name to clinton. >> john: somewhere in the world roger clinton realized he dodged a bullet by not getting into politics. the ultimate excuse for not going to a wedding. stick around. >> john: welcome back to "viewpoint." one more quick question for

feathers, and john mccain kind of apologized for how far this went. to this. >> in an interview i said that senator paul and senator cruz were whack obirds. that was anyone appropriate and i apologize to them for saying that because i respect them both and i respect what they stand for and what they believe in. >> neil: i still sense this friction, though, between the establishment and the new up-and-comers. >> absolutely. you asked me the question earlier if rand paul kind of going against the establishment, calling in a subtle dig to mccain, the g.o.p. establishment has grown moss. it boomer ranged against the establish. i'm glad john mccain paulized but pauling people names and saying rand paul only has impact on libertarians living in the dorm room, it's false and it hurts the g.o.p. moving forward with younger voters. so aim glad to see him apologizing. >> john mccain was a maverick for taking on the republican leadership but not the fact today. >>> he drew in the line. now the white house is lowering the bar. the president's upcoming trip to isr

and mccain playing the party of an aging don quijote.s only lucky he didn't confront mccain. but i think by and large a plus for rand paul. >> let's take a look at the president's weekly address, talking here about the gop meeting. take a listen. >> earlier this week, for example, i met with some republican senators to see if there were smarter ways to grow our economy and reduce our deficits than the arbitrary cuts and the so-called sequester that recently went into place. we had an open and honest conversation about critical issues like immigration reform and gun violence. and other areas where we can work together to move this country forward. >> so anna, do you think the president reaching out to the rank and final members, if you will, albeit very powerful ones in the gop. do you think that's going to do a lot to solidify the future of a bipartisan nature as a result of these meetings? >> well, certainly, both sides have come out of it saying very positive things. the republicans that were there welcomed it and he, obviously, in his

and i think john mccain is way too hard on these guys. >> look, it was not a good moment for john mccains what happens all the time, in fairness to john mccain. you have senators who have been there for a long time starkts to get a little older, in their 70s and 80s, and you have the younger guard come up. and it's good, healthy for a party -- >> he's a great american. >> sure. >> he's a personal friend. >> of course. >> i just don't think he's in the flow. he's not in the swing of things the way the new crowd operates. >> that's my point. it's not personal or particular to john mccain. it's as you get older and you have this older guard it's tie to make way. he overreacted. he got very upset. it looked like one of those get off my lawn moments. you remember that dana carvey sketch in the '80s? when i was young. he was a grumpy old man. that's what mccain looked like to me. >> these guys, this new crowd is free market, almost libertarian on the economy. strong market defense but very free market. is it going to change the center of gravity in the senate? is it going to change the center

and senator mccain clearly has a different vision of this so this is the game they're playing. this is trying to box, you know, the president in. i just don't think it's a smart strategy and something to win over a lot of support amongst the american people. >> thank you. great pleasure having you both on. >>> we have more breaking news out of washington where a massive winter storm could add to the turmoil. several high profile house votes and hearings could be affected. the approaching storm could delay a house vote on a republican plan to avert a government shutdown but a bipartisan deal on gun control legislation announced just yesterday is still so far on track to go before the senate judiciary committee. luke russert, i'm talking about a massive storm. mother nature and political. beautiful view of washington, d.c. but later tonight in to tomorrow we very well may see a different picture coming out of d.c. >> reporter: that's right, tamron. you will see possibly the house representatives could be delayed because of the snowstorm and all depends on whether or not there's a

what would be wrong with that, senator mccain? >> first of all lindsey just gave you the number, disproportionate cuts to defense. defense is 19% of the discretionary spend the non-medicare non-social security. it's taken 50% of the cuts. and you put that on top of $487 billion, $87 billion already cut by secretary gates and you are talk about a "hollow army." if you deprive the military of the ability to train the ability to have flight hours for our pilots and air crews the ability of our people to have the right kind of equipment to fight with, then you are putting us in danger, in my view. >> schieffer: but wouldn't that be a way to start snow. >> no. >> schieffer: because you could say okay, you have to cutx number of dollars out of defense, but i'm going to let you, mr. president you secretary of defense decide where those cuts come in. you could-- you could keep want money that goes for training and those critical things and cut military bands or something like that. >> well, go ahead-- i'll let lindsey go ahead. but the fa

congressman mccain says enough is enough.o talk about that and osama bin laden's son-in-law on american soil. >> i believe he's an enemy combatant and he should be in guantanamo. >> growing pains, passing out, smoking pot, fighting with photographers. what's really going on with justin bieber? >> what did you say? >> maria menounos knows him well. she joins me. >> and also clive davis and his love for women and men. >> found that the attitude in general towards bisexuality is you're either gay, you're straight, or you're lying. >> this is "piers morgan tonight." good evening. the stage is set for dramatic trial in new york city. osama bin laden's son-in-law and mouth piece is in a manhattan jail after pleading not guilty to terrorism charges. it's the first time new yorkers got to see him face-to-face, and it comes on a very busy day on america's security front. also stinging criticism of the tsa allowing small knives and bats on planes. they say passengers should be allowed to go on board with battle-axes and even machetes.

one, he has to hope john mccain puts a sock on it.-- republicans know that if john mccain is the face of it, that that's like waving a red cape of conservatives. >> right, and we had justice alito, one of the most powerful conservatives in town, and he said listen, everyone thinks immigration reform is going to happen. just wait until we start running ads that say immigration reform will create 10 million new democrats, all of whom are here because they broke the law. then talk to me about whether it can pass, and that's the pressure we're seeing put on marco rubio. and rubio is a linchpin. if rubio backs immigration reform, i think we collectively think it happens. >> absolutely. >> if he backs out, it's done. >> absolutely. i think if he backs out, if he's not up there as one of the faces, i think it is over. >> and speaking of rubio, obviously, he's going to run in 2016, and hillary clinton probably is going to run. >> probably. >> and is very worried about a marco rubio, young, obviously new face for the republican party. in a mee

. >> the president called senator mccain and myself a couple weeks ago.nd senator mccain was his opponent, as you all know, in 2008. i see the president reaching out. i'm assuming the president wants to talk seriously about the issues of the day. and if he just wants to have a dinner so we can get to know each other, that's fine with me. so how do you say no to the president of the united states who would like to have dinner with some of your colleagues? you don't. and anybody who would do that in this business is in the wrong position. so when the president asked that i get together a group, i willingly, and i was honored, to try to do that. >> joining me now is emelika henderson who was part of the press pool covering the dinner at the jefferson hotel. what did you have access to? did they let you peek in the room and see what the seating arrangement was? >> not quite. we were camped outside in the bitter cold. thank goodness it did not snow today. we were across the street and we were actually very doubtful that the senators would come out and talk to

rand paul's cia filibuster gets slammed by john mccain.cting to your government or objecting to the policy of government sympathizing with the enemy? some openly were sympathetic. no one will ever forget jane fonda swiveling around in north vietnamese armored guns, and it was despicable. it's one thing if you want to try her for treason, but are you going to just drop a drone hell fire missile on jane fonda? >> somehow to allege that the united states of america, our government, would drop a drone hell fire missile on jane fonda, that -- that is -- that brings the conversation from a serious discussion about u.s. policy to the realm of the ridiculous. >> so rand paul now let the senate confirm the cia director? stay tuned. and is this the beginning of a beautiful friendship? president obama invites paul ryan to the white house for lunch after dining with senate republicans at the jefferson hotel. swanky too. >> how did the meeting go? >> just fine. great. wonderful. >> i am more optimistic just from a personal standpoint. >> senator bob co

senator mccain. >> thank you mr. chairman and let me begin by saying what an honor it is to serve on the subcommittee which has a long history of bipartisanship and a celebrated legacy of covering waste, fraud and abuse and outright corruption before it moved forward i want to express my gratitude to you and the members of your staff for your unyielding and dedicated efforts to this investigation. i would also like to recognize the work of my predecessor on the subcommittee. senator coburn for his contributions prior to my arrival. this investigation into the so-called whale trades at jpmorgan has revealed startling failures in an institution that touts itself as an expert in risk management and prides itself on its fortress balance sheet. investigation is also shedding light on the complex and volatile world of synthetic credit derivatives. in a matter of months jpmorgan was able to vastly increase its exposure to risk while dodging oversight by federal regulators. the trades ultimately cost the bank millions of dol

anomaly because senator mccain is a favorite son. he is running. in the was not involved presidential campaign, my current position keeps me out of electoral politics. my understanding is that the obama campaign did not play in arizona. they were working nevada, colorado, new mexico, those three states that have removed. arizona will be behind them. it will be more purple over time. >> since we are on the electoral topic, a colleague of ours that the post said you have made it known they you were considering a presidential race. do you want to comment on that? they say you are doing it quietly, so this will be a good format. [laughter] >> my plate is so full now that that kind of concentration would be the kind of thing that would keep it -- keep me up at night. i lose enough sleep as it is. i am fine with will we are at. mccain,ing of senator yesterday at a town hall meeting, he was asked if he would ever move away from using the term illegal immigrant. he said that phrase was appropriate. is it appropriate to use that term should we say undocumen
