mccain-feingold has had other detrimental effects. its federalization of state parties has created a disself for state parties that feature the entire party tict. prior to mccain-feingold, it was commonplace to pay for candidates from the top of the ticket to the bottom. in addition, state and local candidates have bypassed party committees when engaging in advocacy and get out the vote activities to the incapability of federal and state law. the current structure of the law has cause add demise in funding as sources seek out other organizations such as federal, state, and local superp.a.c.s who may spend money without any restriction on how communications are funded and how much information they can provide. the demise of parties have had serious implications. party committees have played a vital role in grassroots campaigning. historically parties have been instrumental in delivering positive party messaging and increasing turnout in american elections to grassroots voter contact methods. what some may characterize as a single issue

mccain's app!ghter ] and i was very disappointed. >> seth: got it. >> very disappointed. >> seth: now, i remember -- because you just first started doing this, you just went -- >> what'd you say? i really didn't hear you. >> seth: i know. >> you know i love you, by the way. >> seth: yes, i know. >> and you're doing so well and i'm so proud of you and i think the show's amazing. [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: thank you. and i'm proud of you. 'cause i remember, you first went out on the street and you were just doing this with a video camera, posting stuff online. >> yeah. >> seth: and i remember at snl, both amy poehler and rachel dratch were huge fans of yours. >> yeah, that's so nice. >> seth: and they would sort of just show it to all of us. but you at the time didn't know -- >> no. i was like a struggling comedian doing live shows in new york, and doing these videos and putting them on youtube and thinking, "no one knows me. no one likes this." and then years later, i found out people like you

senator john mccain has been one of the most vocal critic on this. the democrats say today enough is enough. you're throwing the mud up on the wall regarding benghazi. what do you say? >> i say that four americans died. i say that no one responsible for the attacks has been arrested or brought to justice, even though there are at least a couple of them living openly, granting interviews with media in libya. i say that there is still questions as to why the now national security adviser, then ambassador to the united nations went on all national television on all morning shows, including fox, saying this was a hateful video that sparked a spontaneous demonstration of which there was not one shred of proof and we know that they were manipulated, the talking points that she used and the information was manipulated and it all has to be viewed in the context of a presidential campaign. remember the nafertive, bin laden is dead. al qaeda is decimated. just a total untruths were told to the american people. >> the deputy director of the cia when testifying,

brown: it's appropriate senator mccain is in the chamber for this, too. in 2008 senator mccain who had served as a member of the senate snee on the -- designee on the gallaudet board of trustees left that during his president yalg run. senator harkin and senator mccain apparently had recommended that i be the senate designee on the board at gallaudet university. gallaudet celebrated this week its 150th anniversary, it's an incredible place as senator mccain knows, the only one of its kind in the world. a school for the deaf created during the administration of president lincoln 150 years ago in 1864. one of the -- senator mccain, i know he's here on the floor for another reason but certainly will have reminiscenses and stories about serving on this board but my first dinner my first night at the university at the gallon death university -- gallaudet university, the students, all deaf came out and performed a dance for us. a number of people on the board here, and sign everything, and the students that were dancing to the music were able to dance because o

mccain-feingold must be revisited. thank you for the opportunity to present these views. >> thank you. mr. ornstein. >> thanks so much, mr. chairman. and it's really a pleasure to be here to talk about this issue. i want to start by commending senator cruz for his full support of disclosure and i look forward to his vote for the disclose act when it comes up in the senate. >> i wrote that down myself. >> i also want to thank senator roberts for putting up the text of the first amendment, which i read and reread, as i have done so many times and i'm still looking for the word money in the first amendment. and i just have to say that if money is defined as speech, then the rights of citizens, as equals in this process, to participate simply gets blown away. those who have lots of money have lots of speech. those who have little money have very little or no speech. having said that, i want to really talk about two larger concerns that are generated by the multiple recent moves that i believe have knocked the pins out from

another bank. >> rose: john mccain would say or what, john mccain would say deeper sanctions with respect to iran. >> sanctions, military exercises. moving our troop positioning. >> rose: define weaponry to ukrainians. >> absolutely. >> rose: what kinds of weapons. >> well, first of all i would give them light weapons which they want and i would give them anti-tank weapons and probably anti-air weapons so they can defend. if putin moves now across the south, it's not going to stop him. there's absolutely nothing to stop him. so why not say we're going to give these people the ability to defend them says. when russia invaded afghanistan if you recall we started throwing weapons to afghanistan. is that an exact parallel? no. when ronald ronald reagan saide was a missile in russian you can recall there were hundreds of theuses of people demonstrating against it but he understood peace restraint and that's what we have to do. and it's so frustrating honestly to talk to these people. >> rose: these people meaning the whitehouse? >> no, in moldova and the baltics. putin is putting all kinds of

are you with mccain on that? >> well, i think we have to be careful to analyze what we can do to help. we shouldn't foreclose that option. and i think that the sanctions that i'm talking about can be effective, but we also have to work with the eu on an energy plan which is one of the things that i'm doing with our energy secretary legislation. in order to get them to stand with us in a united front on the kind of sanctions that i think the kind of economic and diplomatic sanctions that i think can actually be effective. >> so you have an open mind on defensive weapons for ukraine. but on sanctions, the administration, together with the eu and others, they've impos imposed sanctions. the nato allies are saying they're not going far enough? are they satisfied? >> they haven't gone far enough. as i listen to that exchange between mccain and secretary kerry, they talked about iran. one of the fundamental mistakes we've made with iran is that we didn't keep the sanctions in place while negotiating. sanctions take a l

that from republican john mccain. the big question is going to be whether european allies like angela merkel, the german chancellor, they say they're mathewing forward with their own sanctions. but they've said it before and they weren't tough sanctions. so the president when he gets back to washington tuesday night, within a couple of days, he'll be sitting down at the white house with merkel who will be in washington. ukraine, front and center here in asia and will be as soon as he gets back to washington. >> angela merkel, very much a key player there. ed, thank you very much for that report. we'll tell you more about the growing crisis in ukraine. the u.s. and other world powers standing together vowing to impose new sanctions on russia and its supporters in eastern ukraine, possibly as ed henry reported as soon as monday. this as secretary of state john kerry is urging his russian counterpart to help support an effort to free a group of military observers being held by pro-russian separatists in ukraine. leland i

senator mccain is pushing the u.s. to provide ukraine's government with defensive weapons to hold off russian troops if putin gives the order to invade. the obama administration doesn't support mccain's plan, instead pledging what's described as nonlethal aid. the vice president was in ukraine today, still is there, talking with government leaders. he promised both economic and diplomatic support. >> the united states stands with you and is working to support all ukrainians and seeking a better future. the road ahead obviously, as we discussed at length both here and washington, mr. prime minister, is difficult. and you should know, as i told you at the outset, you will not walk this road alone. we will walk it with you. >> bring in gloria borger, our chief political analyst. you cover the vice president for a long time, pretty strong words for him. >> the message was clear. he also said, this struck me, he said no country should be allowed to behave like an armed bandit, which is essentially what he's calling russia.

john mccain, by the way, you can see him too.ie rose's full interview with the senator is tonight at 8:00 eastern, right here on bloomberg television. coming up -- from coast to desert islands, we find out what is for sale in monaco's most exclusive luxury show. we're going inside monaco's most exclusive nightclub. check this out. ♪ >> this is "lunch money," streaming live everywhere. we're online, we're on your phone, on your tablet, even apple tv and now amazon fire tv. i am adam johnson. global luxury spending could reach $1.2 trillion by 2020. that's provided that china keeps growing and luxury brands keep selling online. one advisor says luxuries are developing their brands, trying to reach more customers. we talked about it this morning on "surveillance." >> the multichannel customer is more likely to spend between two and five times more than a one-channel customer. all these guys slowly but surely, very quickly, will all be online. >> you have said that burper zi it well. what is burr berry do right online? >> they a plat

what would john mccain as president be doing at this moment?hen he marched into crimea, would you have said, get your troops out of crimea or we will actin a way -- in a way that will punish you? >> i will do a long series of steps ranging from helping become energy independent. it probably takes a couple three years. in the meantime, you have got to plan for it. there are other ways that we can do to help them. lithuania has just, by getting energy from sweden and offshore natural gas establishment, they're able to do it. we can do it if we want to. second, make it clear to vladimir putin that we will provide these people with weapons with which to defend themselves. if vladimir putin moves further into ukraine from eastern ukraine, i would at least give them the ability to defend themselves. if vladimir putin moves further, we should at least give them weapons to defend themselves. >> what would you give them? >> putin's constellation is, what is the cost for my taking further action -- putin's calculation is, what is the cost for my taking f

i am pleased to have john mccain back at the table. welcome. >> thank you, charlie. >> i did not mention you were the nominee of your party. >> thank you for not mentioning it. [laughter] a wasn't a bad -- -- was it bad experience? >> all politicians have minds. after i lost, i slept like a baby. -- all politicians have lines. >> so you just got back. where were you? >> we were in moldova and the baltics. in moldova, they are very, very nervous because moldova is not part of nato. trans-nistria- has 1400 russian troops there. they have been there for years. doeshe question is is what vladimir putin do now? does he continue to foment unrest in the east? and it is hard for the government to function. or does he go across the south and take odessa, which is important to him, and then up to moldova? and the other, of course, is that he just continues to foment discontent and uprising and the men, and it makes it very difficult for this new government to function. and how difficult is it for them to have free and fair elections with the lit

center mccain. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and thank the witnesses to the witnesses, this restructuring took place, it's my understanding in 1999? and yet no case has been brought against them by the government for what you view is a clear violation of law? do you have an explanation for that? >> i think it's partly because some of the information that was provided to the subcommittee would not have been available to the irs. related to internal tax planning documents that are privileged. that is not obvious on its face from the outside. in addition, some of the information was based on the whistleblower and also was not available to the irs at the time. it was a senior tax person inside the company. so we today have much more information about the transaction than was available to the irs. in my opinion the irs is overburdened and had too many companies. here's transactions are very complicated. extensively documented. the irs has to go through thousands of pages of data, they just have a hard job to do. i think the

and not in a good way. >> maybe you heard the big news, john mccain, senator john mccain, republicante for president was supposed to be on the program tonight. were you aware thought of? yes! but he had to cancel the show because he is suspending his campaign because the economy is exploding. here is a senator, fourth term senator from arizona. you go back to washington. you handle what you need to handle. don't suspend your campaign. you let your campaign go on. shouldered by your vice presidential nominee, that's what you do. you don't quit. you heard it here first, this doesn't smell right. you know? this just doesn't smell right. this is not the way a tested hero behaves. at the last minute he calls up. and said, i can't make it. can't make it. can't make it. i said, i said what is the problem, what is the problem? he said, well, the economy. he said the economy is about to economy. so we find out today he didn't really leave until this morning. didn't go until this morning. thank you. >> can i give you an answer. >> please. >> i screwed up. >> and that was the last time anybody

it's -- mccain, it's like that. right now paul ryan doesn't seem too interested in running for president these days. he would be presumably the next guy. they have a little vacuum where you have these less experienced republicans -- >> that's why some folks are leaning on jeb bush. >> you mentioned jeb bush. we know mom is a no. she says too many bushes. she doesn't want hillary clinton either. she thinks it's time for a new name. our gloria borger sat down with neal bush. barbara said no, george h.w. bush said yes. >> if you ask dad the same question, should jeb run, he'd say yes. >> maeve, does that matter? in the end it's jeb bush's decision, his wife and children more than his mom and dad. no disrespect. does it matter? >> i think there's a good thing they're balancing each other out. it's a great talking point for him. he gets so many laughs when he's out there talking about his mom's concerns about him running. so i do think it's sort of a fun thing for him to play with, but going forward as he considers this

>> and don't forget the interview he did with john mccain when mccain was running against obama. i think you can do that in new york and that was so much of dave's style was to sort of, you know, take the you know out of people, out of guests. and i think for him, i mean, his political bent, as you said, howie, was not a secret. so you knew if you were john mccain and you got in that chair, remember that interview he did, mccain canceled, said he had to fly back to washington but then he didn't have to fly back to washington doing another interview. >> and he was taunting him every night. >> and that is the comedian's way of, you know, stick thing it to somebody in the audience. the guy who shows up late for the show. so i think that that's -- if you gave dave an in like that, he would take it and run with this. >> i don't think any of the younger comics who followed him, whether it's conan, jimmy fallon, jimmy kimmel don't seem to have that edge to talk about politics on any part of the spectrum. maybe they think it turns the audience off. now, in all pieces i've read and i've r

your thoughts on senator mccain? energy plan, food plan, defensive weapons, or an imf loan will deter vladamir putin from continuing the role he -- the roll he has been on. part of the hard hammering of the president. it is very hard when you are president of the united states in a crisis to show stra -- strategic restraint. it is easy, an escalation of macho guys around the world who didn't want to pull back. to some degree what mccain is advocating would be very, very negative, an escalation, and take us into a place the united states doesn't want to be. >> i appreciate your point there. i don't want to belittle strategic differences here. some times feels like republicans walk away like end of ar an argument where you think of something else you want to say and you want to come back and say it. then they will come back a day or two later here. this conflict has been unfolding for sometime. there isn't a specific plan out of the congress, that is very different in, in its particulars than, what the -- the administr

i thought john mccain was dead wrong on the mccain/feingold and the situation was much worse after itassed than before. we need transparency. i want to know every dime that every candidate gets and i want to know where it's from and i don't have to trace around. >> i think that is smart. there was a lot to try to at least ply part of that. it was called the disclosed act and it was opposed by 501cd 4 groups. >> exactly. they want to hide the ball. >> exactly. your position is what the traditional republican position has been up until a certain point and now it's not. but i think if you look forward, this court, i don't know, nick, maybe you can correct me on this, but it looks like they will eventual tackle the individual limits and if democrats were wise they might actually consider doing a tradeoff which is say, okay, we recognize what is coming down the road with individual limits probably likely to be ripped apart by the court let's try to get transparency in there right now for exchange. >> it's a good compromise? >> i don't know if it is but may be the only compromise. >> coming

wand, ild wave a magic would repeal mccain-feingold. i would get presidents elected under the old system starting with the john f. kennedy. his father had all the money in the world. he said, my father said he would buy me the presidency, but he was not going to buy a landslide. can you get money out of politics? the answer is no. if you cannot. it's like trying to stop water from running down the hill. you can build a dam that can store a little bit of it for a while and i've heard where it comes, but it is going to run down the hill one way or the other. done withve heard -- campaign-finance reform -- i realize i'm very much alone in this, but here we go -- in the name of campaign-finance final is weakened the parties in taking control of campaigns away from the candidates. it is improper to give that much money to the party. it is improper to give that much money to the candidates. since we have something pesky in the constitution called the expressendment, you can yourself in a political campaign. if you can't give the money to is p

when john mccain comes on and says something very harsh, nobody says there goes john mccain going so again. >> i know people who have said i have been over emotional about things. >> sometimes you are. the point is it's not inherently emotional to have a strong viewpoint. >> i don't think this was an inherent situation. it was a very specific situation. this is a very specific situation. >> she has behaved in an emotional way. an emotional way would be how she is being irrational because she. >> i mean, they said that she was making decisions based -- her view was based on emotion which i. >> clouded by her passion for it it implies you haven't thought it out. >> he didn't say that she is an idiot. he said her positions are backed up by emotion. i know plenty of men who are emotional about this issue of enhanced interrogation techniques by the way. i don't call it torture. i debated chris math to you thats oon that unwatched network. i thought he was going to come unglued when i said something in support of enhanced interrogation techniques. don't tell me men don't get emotional over

this is audio of john mccain. >> resign? whoa.t's a pretty high bar. >> so that's mccain responding, chris, to should john kerry resign and laughing that off. >> and ted cruz just worth noting he was on the senate -- ted cruz no friend of john mccain or john kerry, on the senate floor yesterday calling on john kerry to resign and noting that he was one of a very small number of people who voted against john kerry's nomination as secretary of state. susan and josh right, this is not a great moment for john kerry. i cannot imagine him stepping aside in any way from this comment. he did and i think josh made this point very well, he did not apologize for the sort of tenor and tone but apologized for using the specific word apartheid, did not however say my views on this were wrong and he essentially sort of stood by the broad meaning and message of his remarks, really saying that one word was wrong or i should have put it in a better context than i did. we certainly doesn't see this as a funds amountal threat to his well being at the

is john mccain advocating a land war with russia?his president could do or any other president over the last 70 years to do to stop russia from doing what it is doing now to a neighbor. we just hadn't seen this kind of lack of restraint before. so i think what's happened now is all that can happen and should putin go further, they do have really disabling sanctions that can be put in place. i mean i'm sorry but giving them some night goggles is probably not going to suddenly make ukraine equal to the might of russ russia. >> one of the concerns has been we could do that, but who is there to then train the ukrainian forces and are the ukrainian forces in a position to use those materials? >> there's no real indication that taking the steps the president should take would actually do anything and might provoke something. and what american presidents for the last 70 years have correctly realized is you don't mement waa shooting war in the middle of europe. especially not with russia. so i think steve was right to draw a comparison to th

mccain was the first great politician to join us in support.important for us, and everybody was happy. >> tell me what you fear and what you hope. >> my fear if you and other people in the world will recognize my country for that picture. i don't like it. it was just a few days, and a lot of people were killed. i like when people recognize our social movement. if you join us, we will show you our light of freedom. you will help us to show truth. we have a problem with the anti-ukrainian propaganda. it is not just misinformation from putin. putin destroy the image of the ukraine. which is why i'm so worried. i will do anything to -- >> you want people to understand what about ukraine? >> we choose peace. we want peace. this is our ideology of our country. ukraine. we don't want to have war. it is a plan of putin. important.st -- most three main words. peace, truth, country. don't destroy my country. it's my message to putin. don't destroy my country. you don't have any reason. why you do that? i mean, i asked putin, why you do that? for your pow

>> john mccain is a great patriot. he and john kerry have been through a whole lot together, forged a friendship over vietnam in the latter years as they were trying to deal with a lot of the aftermath of vietnam. think john has so much passion regarding our foreign policy and it is so disappointed candidly in this administration and in john kerry that it certainly came out strongly. we met about two hours later, chuck, with the foreign minister from israel to talk a little bit about where things are. i know yesterday they say there was couple hours of maybe break-through but, look. there's just a lot of frustration with this day late, dollar short policy. leading from behind. i hate to even use thatted a dama adage. but it really is where we are and where we've been. but i think many of us wonder how supported john kerry really is by this administration that wants to sweep most of the big issues under the rug until they're out of office. >> i'm going to leave it there. senator bob corker, republican from tennessee, th

also say to senator mccain's point.f he is not sharing intelligence. >> more intelligence than weep used to be. obama is doing the right thing. moving in a steady, forward pace without trying to do anything that would antagonize putin too much and cause putin to go in with military force. >> it would help in the argument, the u.s. is a western power trying to step where it shouldn't. >> it is important to keep in mind. we are working closely with the europeans. one significant development today is that a german gas company has decided to do reverse flow of natural gas into ukraine. some people were concerned about. with german natural gas companies. have relationship with russia. goes through ukrainian territory. they continue to be allied with russia. therefore, create problems for western unity. and in fact what we see is there is movement from the european side as well. i don't think a republican president, or even john mccain. if he were president. would be able to do anything more than what obama is doing. there ar
