senator mccain, john mccain of arizona taking the lindsey graham record a lot like john mccain who alsomonday he of course made his announcement. six sitting senator to formally announce. the biggest challenge to prove he is a viable candidate likely will not come direct from the crowded heels of colleagues he is running against. the one senator who is art he waged in lost multiple bits john mccain of arizona. read more yahoo! politics. we want to know what you think about the nine candidates to get into the race on the republican side. erica from rick -- from florida. caller: you did pronounce it correct. thank you for taking my call. i follow politics very closely. i have watched everybody that has gotten into the race, and yes, there are quite a few of them. out of all of them, lindsey graham is the only one that's my gut instinct says that is a man you can trust. host: why do you think that is? caller: i have watched him for years. to me, he is not like the typical politician who says whatever they need to say to get elect did. he comes across as very honest. my instinct says that i

cruz: i like john mccain and i respect john mccain. my approach has been consistent. if others choose to throw rocks i will not reciprocate. what we endeavor to do is take the high road. in my time in the senate, to my knowledge, i have not spoken ill of any other congressmen. when john mccain said that i went to the senate floor and rose to give a speech in praise of john mccain. it happened to be the 40th anniversary of his release from the hanoi hilton. i spoke about what an incredible privilege to serve with a patriot and hero like john mccain. who was tortured -- being in my family being imprisoned and tortured is something my family and door, too -- endured, too. not at the level that john mccain did but most extraordinary, john mccain was offered early release and turned it down because he believed it would be dishonorable. i said, none of us have face that. i have never been in prison and i have never been tortured. all of us hope we would make the same decision as he did but not one of us knows for sure. i said, what a privilege to serve with an american hero

mccain indicated his support for the project. >> translator: i'm glad to tell people of okinawa how mccain feels about the plan. >>> yus senators ended weeks of intense standoff and passed surveillance reform legislation that allows the federal government to harvest large amounts of personal data with certain restrictions. senators approved the bill on tuesday by a majority vote. president barack obama later signed the measure. lawmakers approved the bill more than 40 hours after a law authorizing bulk collection of personal data by the national security agency expired. that law was enacted shortly after the september 2001 terrorist attacks. the reformed version allows the government to continue surveillance activities on a case by case basis and requires court authorization. in a statement obama stressed the importance of enabling the government to resume the operations. he said it would allow security professionals from text the nation. >>> iraqi government forces are stepping up their fight against islamic militants. but they are fighting back with suicide attacks. government troops and

mccain: mr. president i ask unanimous consent that now that the senator from california have 15 minutes and i have ten minutes and the vote delayed until completion of the 15 minutes and the ten minutes. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mrs. feinstein: thank you very much mr. president and i thank the distinguished chairman for this. senator mccain, i don't think i'll take 15 minutes. we have worked it down. but, mr. president i join senator mccain and ranking member reed as well as senator collins and the other original cosponsors senators leahy paul king, flake heinrich whitehouse mikulski, wyden murphy hirono, warner, baldwin brown and markey in offering an amendment that will help ensure the united states never again carries out coercive and abusive interrogation techniques or indefinite secret detentions. i'm very pleased that the senate will consider this amendment and i urge an aye vote. the amendment we are offering today is really very simple. it applies the

bush took basically the same line as john mccain on the issue. who am i to tell south carolina they ought to take that confederate flag down? because george w. bush, we forget now, was a very, very good politician, although he took the same line as john mccain did, he sounded way better when he did it. >> as an american citizen, do you have a visceral reaction to seeing the confederate flag? >> as an american citizen i trust the people of south carolina to make the decision for south carolina. >> cheers, cheers. for no one telling south carolina to take down that confederate flag. not long after he lost the south carolina primary to george w. bush, then he dropped out of the race, and south carolina ultimately decided to take the confederate flag off the state capitol dome and move it instead to frankly a more prominent place, confederate memorial in front of the state house right on a main drag that you drive-thru in columbia, right after that, after they moved the flag to the different part of the state capitol grounds, john mccain said he shou

john mccain is a republican maverick.an had been the vice presidential nominee and lost the election. along comes barack. the thing about joe lieberman i think any politician can learn from it is, he did not want the job too much. he was progressive by any reasonable definition, but when it came to radical islam and the war, he understood we had to get iraq right. he was willing to stand by bush, who had made tons of mistakes. he was going to go all in with the surge. joe would not give an inch. he stood by the president. he was, i think, the only democratic vote to keep us from pulling the plug. that bond -- john had been a contrarian in his own party. joe became the outcast on national security. from that bond, when people wanted not to lose a war we did not think we could afford to lose -- it came from there. mark: what are the activities of the three amigos? senator graham: we have been everywhere together. we busted our butts to go to iraq to find out what is working and what is not. any senator -- travel. if you car

>> guest: i like john mccain and i respect john mccain. when he called me a wacko bird my approach has been consistent. if others who choose to throw rocks i will not reciprocate. and indeed consistently what we have endeavored to do is take the high road and in my time in the senate i have not spoken to the best of my knowledge of any other senator republican or democrat and so actually when john mccain called me a wacko bird the next day i went to the senate floor and rows to give a speech in praise of john mccain and it happened to be the 40th anniversary of his release from the flournoy hilton hilton. i spoke about what an incredible privilege to serve with a patriot and hero like john mccain who served his nation and was imprisoned who was tortured. obviously in my family being imprisoned and tortured is something my family has endured too. not at the level that senator mccain did is something that is nonetheless powerful and most extraordinary john mccain was offered early release from prison in vietnam. he turned it down because he

mccain: i object. mr. paul: how can we have an objection when we already have a consent agreement that says we have 30 minutes of equally divided time and you still have five minutes remaining on the opposite side, mr. president? the presiding officer: the time was divided in the usual form and the time for debate has expired. mr. paul: the time couldn't have been divided equally because somebody must have given one side more time than the other. the presiding officer: the five minutes of time that was allotted to the democrat side was unused and it was divided at 23 minutes apiece. mr. paul: mr. president i was here for 30 minutes of the republican side speaking. i sat in my seat for 30 minutes. it was not 23 minutes of equally divided time. mr. mccain: regular order. obviously people don't know the rules of the senate. maybe they should rule -- mr. paul: i would request the remaining five minutes of time on the opposite side. the presiding officer: is there objection to the request of the senator from ke

>> it's been really interesting, john mccain, the senator from arizona, he's now the chairman of theed services committee, he's complained that early on in obama's administration when he came in he had discussions with mccain of closing the prison that were essentially abandoned so he said for years that if obama wants to get this done why hasn't he given him a plan never been talking to mccain all throughout and then a few weeks ago he told us that he had spoken to obama about a plan to close the facility and since then defense secretary carter national security adviser to the white house came to mccain's office discuss what the plan would look like and carter confirmed he believes it's a good opportunity to see if we can get this done. >> talk to us about the politics behind this. it seems like the president and the administration is going about this the right way by taking the temperature of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to see if this would even do well going to the hill and there are as we were talking in the commercial break republicans not on board with this. how much i

mccain: could i just -- mr. president, could i just make a couple of comments real quick before the distinguished majority leader modifies his request? the presiding officer: the snr from arizona. mr. mccain: i would just remind my good friend from nevada the democratic leader, the last two years we took up a defense authorization bill and it was taken up so late, there was not a single amendment -- not a single solitaire amendment on the defense authorization bill for the last two years. so i understand the democratic leader's commitment to amendments. it is too bad that for two years we never had a single amendment to a defense authorization bill. as far as relevant amendments are concerned one of the things about this body is that everybody has the right to propose an amendment until their amendments are not made germane. the three pending democratic amendments we have now on the bill are not germane. so all i can say is, i hope we can get a modification. i hope we can get -- move forward. i just with a nts t

. >> john mccain had a tough primary campaign in 2008. there were whole stretches of months at a time when the biggest news out of the mccain campaign was how many of his staff members were quitting, how poorly his campaign was going, how demoralized everybody was, how he had no money, no support. john mccain had to win new hampshire in 2008. specifically had to beat mitt romney there. and predictions of his demise to the contrary, he did it. he won new hampshire. that victory in new hampshire went a really long way to helping john mccain look strong and resilient and helping him win that year. it was more dramatic than it was on the john mccain/mitt romney side. on the democratic side in 2008, the drama there was in part about how wrong all the polls were on the democratic side. barack obama had just beaten hillary clinton in iowa the week before, that iowa victory was huge for him. all signs were pointing to him doing the same thing again in new hampshire. but it turns out all those signs were wrong. everybody was wrong. the polls were

mccain: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from arizona. mr. mccain: mr. president i'd like to tell my colleagues, i think we are winding down here. we have several other issues to address, but i think it's very possible that we could see the end here for final passage of the bill. there are still some issues that need to be resolved, but i am grateful for the progress that all of my colleagues have made on both sides of the aisle. mr. president, i'd like to call up and speak briefly on mccain amendment 1482. this amendment would prohibit the secretary of defense or the secretary of a military department from funding or conducting medical research or development projects unless the secretary determines that the research or project is designed to protect enhance or restore the health and safety of members of the armed forces through phases of deployment, combat, medical recovery and rehabilitation. now, mr. president, i will not seek a vote on this amendment but i will say that it i

a little bit with mccain. sort of doubt this in-your-face smack down style will work but i have to tell you i love it. i was in a train with him in 2012 and he told me a story about newt gingrich when he appointed a muslim judge to demand that christie withdraw that. christie wouldn't talk to him. christie told staff he just doesn't understand sharia law. newt gingrich running for president, he's trying to call christie to ask for support. he said tell him i don't understand -- john: i think i know what that means that you can't say it on tv. the question that everyone has is whether that appeal will wear well, the weather that appeal will wear well outside of new jersey, whether it is a enough at this point. when he was a success story riding high that style seemed to be something people liked and could tolerate. when you are down in the polls and trying to claw back whether that brashness, whether that will seem more desperate than strong. that is one of the big questions i had. al: the closest analogy is ru

taking that position didn't save mccain. mccain lost the south carolina primary by a wide margin.ater he ended his presidential campaign and bush won the nomination. not long after that episode when he was an ex-candidate he came out and said he made a mistake by backing the confederate flag. quote, i feared that if i answered honestly i could not win the south carolina primary. so i chose to compromise my principles. i broke my promise to always tell the truth. that same year in 2000 the south carolina state legislature reached a compromise of sorts. the flag would be removed from the dome of the state house and brought to a confederate soldier's monument nearby on the state capital grounds and that's where it still flies today and where it is again the center of a heated local and national debate. this time sparked by the murder of nine african-american worshippers in that charleston church. >> and what is the answer? what is the answer for race relations? >> i think the answer is that we move forward in a balanced way. that we make sure that the compromise in south carolina wor
