of the angry left but mccain is no match for the cuddly left. all throughout the -- stop staring at me. who wants socialized medicine? you do. yes, you do. after honoring the president by allowing him to speak for almost eight minutes it was on to the two real stars senators foghorn leghorn and droopy dog. >> i think -- >> i say, i say -- >> i'll tell you what. >> you know what? >> i appreciate it. [cheers and applause] >> to the distinguished senator from toon town. boing! senator leghorn went first. reaffirming the new republican mantra that the leaders of today are the [bleep]-ups of yesterday. >> he drove a corvette and dated a girl that worked in a bar as an exotic dancer. >> jon: he's with us today. hello madame secretary. and joe lieberman's turn. >> many are angry and frustrated by our government and our politics. if john mccain was just another go along partisan politician he never would have taken on corrupt republican lobbyists. >> jon: i guess what i'm saying is, you guys suck. senators and leghorn and dog reserve the harshest scorn

(laughter) this is "the nightly show"! let's do this! (cheers and applause). ♪

because i can't wait. >> reporter: but john mccain is along for a nostalgic return to the heart of new hampshire politics. the town hall meeting. >> mr. trump said he had a very good relationship with vladimir putin. i'm proud to have been sanctioned by vladimir putin. >> reporter: two come from behind wins in a new hampshire gop primary in 2000 and 2008. today he urged voters to give graham, who is lagging behind in polls, the same long shot chance. >> tell the others all around, say, go see lindsey graham. >> reporter: in an exclusive interview with nbc news, mccain and graham talked strategy. >> show up, take every question, be insulted. whatever it takes to get your message out. >> reporter: both weighed in on hillary clinton's candidacy and reports that joe biden may still be considering his own run. >> i think that he sees think trust factor of hillary clinton in a steep decline. and i think that he's examining his options. frankly, it's understandable that he would be. >> one thing, she is not going to be able to tell the american people, trust me. >> reporter: both graham and m

after the john mccain comments, what happens? he gets up on stage. he gives out lindsey graham's phone number and mccain comments disappeared and we talk about trump giving out the phone number. same thing with the debate. i thought his debate performance subjectively and internals of the polls back this up was quite poor. but the conversation after the debate wasn't about his debate performance, it was about whether the questions were fair and about his feud with megyn kelly so he's kind of a genius at this. >> that was no accident. let me show you a cover in a magazine about the debate showing megyn kelly practically trying to choke donald trump. would tim russert or ted koppel after tough performances be depicted like that? anything sexist in this? >> quite frankly she was doing her job. it was appropriate that the only female on the panel would ask this question. this is one of many tough questions you're going to get when you run for president regardless of your party and regardless of how much money you have in your bank account like he likes t

mccain, john mccain and the establishment in washington has treated the vets so badly. you know, two weeks ago on wednesday, they had the longest wait in the history of the veterans administration. if you're waiting for a doctor, they waited for a longer period of time. and i'm talking about days. you go to a doctor and wait 20 minutes and you're upset. right? >> right. >> they're waiting days and days, sometimes six days, seven days. in one case they waited five days, and when he finally got to a doctor, he said i'm sorry, i'm going on vacation now. we can't let that happen to the vets. i equate john mccain with the vets. he's one of the people in charge and he's done a very poor job. and the last incident we won't even discuss, but i don't think i said anything wrong. >> let me ask you, you keep talking about leverage as it relates to the third party issue. let's assume you're treated fairly in the process. you didn't win the nomination. at that point, you would support the republican candidate. >> that's true. that's true. now i'd also like to see a candidate that i

mccain: without objection. senator shaheen. senator: thank you for your efforts on this negotiation and for being here today. secretary carter, you're in the middle east last week. can you tell us what you heard from our allies in the middle east about what they felt about this agreement, specifically saudi arabia and israel? obviously, we have heard what prime minister netanyahu had to say. mr. carter: prime minister netanyahu was very clear and has been clear publicly in his opposition to the deal. we discussed that, but we discussed many other things as well. hezbollah's activity on the border with lebanon. in fact, i visited there. our missile defense activities, our cyber security cooperation our intelligence cooperation lots of other regional issues. we discussed many topics. he was very clear. senator: would you agree with the characterization that the israelis were united in their opposition to the agreement from left to right? mr. carter: i only spoke with the prime minister. he was as he has been publicly very clear.

john mccain is running for reelection. for reelection, lurching to the right. people are sick and tired of this. >> let's talk about this. >> they're staying left. the only interesting moment he had. he asked debbie wasserman-shultz the different between a democrat and a republican. >> what is the difference? i used to think there is a big difference. what do you think it is? >> what is the difference between a democrat and republican? >> what is the difference between a democrat and socialist. what is the difference between you and a socialist? >> the debate we'll be having over the course of the debate is what is the difference between a democrat and a republican. >> what is the difference? >> i think the democrats are more marxist. we know who they are. obama i think, is even further left than that. >> you go through the problems we're facing and how we're destroying this country, and who did it. you name names. then you say that your last book you talked about the liberty amendments. in this book you talk about a new c

senator mccain chairs this three-hour hearing. sen. mccain: good morning. the committee meets today on the joint country has a plan of action which the u.s. and other major powers have signed with iran. we welcome our distinguished witnesses and thank them for joining us today. we appreciate the senators and secretary moniz and lew being here. for the record, i did not request the presence of it secretary kerry or moniz or secretary lew. i'm glad they are here, as their desire to do so. since this focus is today's hearing it's on a strategic and military implications of the iran agreement. what we want to know, among other things, is how this agreement will affect regional security proliferation, and the balance of power in the middle east, and what impact it may have on iran's maligned activities and hegemonic ambitions in the region. what it means for perceptions of american credit ability and resolve among our allies and partners, and what the consequences are for u.s. defense public hearing -- defense, policy. we concerted these broader strategic conseq

saying s john mccain what an outrage. host: senator mccain spent 1/2 years in prison in vietnam.ack to vietnam history. your involvement start in vietnam. ere's the man who invented the institute of policy studies. he participated in a panel of cool group of people in vietnam in may of this year. watch this. >> there's certain things that be very happy about, first of all, that we're all together. amen. [ applause ] all, that you should always hire a good goodse if you don't have a awyer, we are about to lose, you're in trouble. need street heat, and by street heat, you need to the le to organize from treet to get people in their offices to hear what is going on in the streets. dialectic, e's this f you will, between those two relationships and that dialectic basis on which real change can occur. not forever, never forever. not for 10,000 years. give us two generations and let and let us at least move a tiny bit further ahead. host: he worked for george bundy. national advisor of kennedy. he started the institute of studies. were you there? i was. host: it was moderated. guest: i

look at mccain. remember when mccain suspended his campaign and remember mitt romney wouldn't take on president obama for obamacare? the gop base is sick and tired of mealy mouth -- >> i want to get peter's take on this. do you agree with me? i think trump has to be trump. i don't think he could be anything other than trump. but to go in there and attack i don't know if that's the right strategy in that environment. >> he has to be both. he has to show people who he is. he is a thoughtful guy that has a lot of ideas. and if you look at him in long forms, he's exposed a lot of those ideas. he does need to be presidential and talk about policies and programs. and a trump vision for america. >> on the other side peter, what do the other candidates do? how do they deal with this? if you attack trump -- >> let me give you the answer. they sit there and listen because trump is presidential. he's presidential. he is the look. he is the intelligence. he has the thought process in terms of what's needed to ma

he called mexicans horrible things and offended hispanics, then mccain and now megyn kelly and women. none of the other comments seemed to stop him. will this one stop him. because the outrage of the republican party gets amped up a little bit. i thought it was interesting to hear how eric ericsson, that disinvited trump, he called the megyn kelly insult the straw. meaning the straw that broke the camel's back. it's accumulating. that's what i'd watch for this week, gus. we have new polling showing nothing budged as far as support is concerned. but does the entire republican party come down on him a lot harder than even when they did against mccain? >> it's almost i feel the more they talk about him, the more energy he gets. it doesn't seem to do any disservice for him. you do have other candidates on your show this morning. marco rubio, john kasich on the show. you'll probably be talking about trump. does it help or hurt them? >> well, it's consumed the campaign. no doubt about it. it was interesting to hear marco rubio's reaction to the trump thing. he said i'm not going to comment

joining us now, megan mccain.donald trump's post debate comments, the personal ones about megyn kelly. what's your take? >> i don't think it's a hard thing to say maybe we shouldn't be discussing women's menstrual cycles. people called in saying i was being too sensitive. >> trump says you're being too politically correct -- >> i understand what you said about the personal nature but isn't he as a candidate entitled to criticize a journalist who has questioned him. >> i thought megyn kelly's questions were in every line of reason. i think he is not ready for prime time in the sense this is the kitchen and it's going to get hot. you're running for president of united states of america. it's going to get dirtier and you'll have to answer a lot tougher questions than a few tweets and he seems like the most sensitive politician for calling him a politician, i've ever encountered in my entire life. i don't get it. >> some of the stuff posted about megyn and others online was so vile. >> so vile. >> don't even want to r

mccain: mr. president? mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from arizona. mr. mccain: i ask unanimous consent that i be allowed to speak for three minutes and then followed immediately by the senator from idaho. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. mccain: mr. president, what is the -- before that, is the parliamentary procedure was that there was an objection to the senate moving forward with the consideration of the cyber bill? is that correct? the presiding officer: there was an objection that was heard to the request of the majority leader. mr. mccain: i see. well, mr. president -- mrs. murray: mr. president, if i could just ask -- mr. mccain: do i have the floor, mr. president? the presiding officer: yes, sir, the senator from arizona. mr. mccain: i have the floor i tell the senator from washington. mr. president, this is unbelievable. it is unbelievable that this body would not move forward with a cyber bill with the situation of dire consequences a

at the end of the day think about what he said about senator mccain. mccain isn't one of the senators trying to run against him for president. i don't know if he knows that. he's doing a good job with perry at one percent. at the end of the day, i lost my leg in afghanistan, i hope he doesn't store me under for that. i want to know, duckie, with my legs here, am i a failure? am i an under achiever? >> your legs got captured. >> he likes the veterans that bring their legs back with them. maybe if he is president he will take care of that. >> veterans like him, though. oh oo active duty and retired veteran proos he fer trump to john mccain? is that because his views? no. two reasons. one it is thrilling to listen to a man say what he thinks. nobody else does. two the people who run everything have failed demonstrablebly. funding this question on fake money from the feds, no. he's not more ludicrous than they are actually. >> he is not more ludicrous than ludicrous the wrapper. >> i miss ludicrous. speaking of rude chris. trump banned this iowa paper from

then perhaps mccain is the nominee. but john mccain came close. >> yes, sir, history is on the professor's side. chances are he won't win the nomination, but i am telling you don't sleep on this guy, he is connecting in ways that have pundits scratching their heads. he has touched in an anti-establishment sentiments, and think about this for a second. he wins iowa, hypothetical, comes to new hampshire and wins there. who will stop him then? >> i think that's exactly the motto, when you look at bernie sanders on the democratic side, he is winning new hampshire now, if he pulls enough in iowa, and if joe biden is in the race siphoning off the support from hillary clinton, it seems like the odds of bernie sanders pull a upset increase? >> i wouldn't underestimate the people you are writing off, when you talk politics they write off young new americans lookenning at muslim communities. people that often feel office troy sized. we are not all about the bushes and the clintons and all this antipolice brutality, there is a gro

john mccain is praising the u.s.'s decision to get more involved but says it is not enough.th to his criticism? >> well mccain has wanted -- mechanic cane and a lot of his colleagues have wanted us to get more involved in the fight against isis not only in syria, but in -- in iraq so therefore, he would like to see us take the offensive. he would even like to see some american ground troops there with these troops that we have trained. it's -- that's not going to happen. at least as long as president obama is in office. in fact it took him a month even to allow this defensive, you know operation to occur. and as i say, it's much more so question get recruits, because if they feel they don't be protected they might not go in or a lot have already defected? >>> the suspect wanted in the shooting death of memphis police officer is in custody. he turned himself in. he is accuseded of shooting the officer several times after he apparently interrupted a low-level drug deal. police say he was an ex-con on supervised release. he is now facing a charge of first degree murder. >>> thr

they parted company in the polls and mccain could never catch him. what happens politically? >> the fundamentals of the economy are strong, in the u.s. they are. in the u.s. the republicans are trying to see if they should speak about this. the gas prices are not hurting them. they are getting extra money. remember last time around the republicans promised $2.50 gas if you voted for the gop? well, barack obama is the president, two terms of a democrat and you are probably going to see $2 oil. remember the campaign trail, the thing that you feel every day might be a little overrated. but i think that jobs have been growing nicely over the past three years. and republicans have -- especially the elite party, they want to focus on the people sidelined with jobs. and you'll be hearing from those not benefiting from the jobs market. when you look at all the jobs numbers, while a slow recovery, they are getting better. so that poses difficulties when trying to have an economic platform for the republicans. >> i'm a big fan of jack vogel. he says don't even

the mccain, i equate that with events. because john mccain and the establishment in washington has treated the vets so badly. you know, two weeks ago on wednesday, they had the longest wait in the history of the veteran's administration. if you're waiting for a doctor, they waited for longer period of time. i'm talking about days. you go to a doctor you wait 20 minutes. they're waiting days and day. in one case they waited five days. we can't let this happen to the vets. i associated mccain with the vets. he's been one of the people encharein charge. the last incident we won't even discuss. i think i didn't say anything wrong. >> let me ask you, you keep talking about leverage as it relates to the third party issue. let's assume you're treated fairly in the process. you didn't win the nomination, at that point, you would support the republican candidate? >> that's true. that's true. i'd like to see a candidate i like and respect and that i agree with. i'd never go to the other side. >> who are the people you respect? >> i

campaign finance reform has struck down parts of mccain-kennedy. your are legal issues on first amendment rights to how much you can spend. the wealthy can spend of their own money. i would not appoint any supreme court justices that want to keep bending that for the wealthy. this country is getting upside down with the money coming into politics. i believe in the people. they will come forward and say, no we are not only going to go for the billionaire candidates that are backed by unlimited money in super pac's. we will not tell them how we are going to vote with their money. yes, sir. for safe, reliable, affordable power for rural america. as the governor of rhode island we met the six new england governors with the five new -- with the five canadian premiers. to find out how we could have safe, reliable, affordable power. the 11 of us. we came with a pact to get the canadian hydropower down. resources of hydropower. clean, reliable, and affordable. that has done well for rural america over the year. good, reliable, hydropower. that has to be in

nothing good to say about any of his rivals including the former contender john mccain. why is he going down well with people? prof. ceaser: he behaves like a bully. what is attractive is people see him as someone not part of the political class. a lot of republicans are sick and tired of the political class. he plays up on that. he also plays up on the fact he is rich. instead of regarding that as something to be ashamed of, he puts it up front. that it shows i can get things done. so he is appealing to a spirit of frustration. whether this continues is the question we will see this evening. laura: he made some interesting comments on twitter. he congratulated the other candidates for going to the koch brothers, insinuating they are having to take donations from them. do you think that is a plus for trump? he is not dependent on donors? prof. ceaser: the rich have used to that a little bit. you can trust me, i can't be bought. it is a way of showing this independence. i think he is playing that cardwell. these things are not going to be serious in a presidential campaig

who is undecided between obama, mccain or bush, kerry. maybe a few people. the focus groups reported that stimulus was a bad word. so that's why it was called the economic recovery act. recovery was a more attractive thing that stimulus. most people would rather be stimulated than recovered. [laughs] >> they gave bush a stimulus. in 2008, bush said to top economic people, democratic, seven weeks before the election. i remember that. we had a great weekend plan. we were enjoying dating and i had to call him, the senate, the anniversary -- why on earth. [laughs] >> but we sit with george bush seven weeks before the election, we're in terrible shape, we have to fix it going forward but we have no option now so we pass as the most unpopular successful thing we ever did. democrats voted for it in the house more than republicans, so we give folks, barack obama backs it when john mccain refuses. obama becomes president and it goes -- in 2008 there was a bipartisanship. but obama said that's the end of bipartisanship. they don't -- they use to not care so much if th

i didn't like the mccain comments. what he's done is provide clarity. got to say, ann, i disagree, the republican party is not in trouble. they don't need a third party. we need clarity and long intentioned to what people are actually saying, not the sound bites framed by the democrats. most of the republicans agree on most of the stuff -- >> i don't think -- it's silly to even ask trump about running third party since he's dominating all the polls. why is he on top? because of the immigration issue. i was just pointing out that is why -- if the republicans -- there will be whether it's trump or somebody else is going to go the way of the whigs if they keep refusing to listen to voters. they don't need chamber of commerce money they need votes. >> everything conservative i know is fed up with washington republicans. they're happy with the governors. they feel they have been principled some of them. >> they're not fed up with tom cotton -- >> but they're fed up with the fact they funded executive amnesty. >> when we come in november if planned parenthood

john mccain did not have it. mitt romney did not.t does not affect that many women in the country, but the polls are clear in this issue, thishese guys taking position, hillary clinton wants to be on offense, and there is a rumbling that she is not doing very well on some issues, and the reason is jeb. his campaign thinks that this position would be lethal in a general election. been part of the reason they have lost five of the last six votes, and she will win the women's vote if she is the democratic nominee, but this is a huge goal of hers going over, and you are obviously right. the planned parenthood issue i think is on her side. 50% on heris 100 side. this is a crazy position to be in. mark: even in the press issue yesterday where he said he did not support exceptions for women who have abortions who are victims of rape or insects, that he went over the line enough for her to seize on it, and her calling him a much younger man is filled with meaning, complicated reading. and the rubio opinion is ba characterized in many differe

romney and mccain tried to do what you are saying.y tried to appeal to the american sense of traditional economics and traditional defense. >> right. >> and they lost. >> but the problem is that today you have millions of people that are finding that the jobs they have had for 20 years don't allow them to be in the middle class anymore. why? because this comu economy is either wiping out those jobs or they don't pay enough. so you have got to have an economy that not just creates the new jobs that pay more. you have to have a higher education system that gives people 21st century skills and she wants to pour money into the same tired programs that don't give you those skills. >> those tired programs are now supporting 50% of american households. getting some kinds of means tested which is beyond social security and medicare, money and they don't want to give the money up. >> well, i don't necessarily -- >> -- that's her constituency. >> i think the vast majority of americans would prefer to have a better paying job but they don't have

clinton can win this race if she defines him as too conservative for the electorate like obama did to mccainnd romney. i think what she did today was smart, aggressive and help her win the nomination and the white house. john: the downside risk -- we are saying the same thing in different ways -- the downside risk is that it helps jeb to have her attacking him when his problem is that other republicans do not consider him conservative enough. it helps him, as you said. there is no doubt that the question -- what is interesting to me is she is running as a quasi incumbent. she is going to be the nominee. mark: she is running negative and jeb bush will be reluctant to do that. john: the other part of this document dump day are those super pac filings that are flooding out. they are in line with everyone's expectations. the ap reports democratic super pacs pulled in less than 9% of the total super pac cash. one interesting story buried in here is who could write those monster checks. three of the biggest donors gave to ted cruz. robert mercer gave $11 million to help cruz. toby nagabauer gave $

mccain i equate that with events. john mccain and the establishment in washington has treated the vets so badly. two weeks ago on wednesday they had the longest wait in the history of the veteran's administrati administration. i am talking days. you go to a doctor you wait for 20 minutes you are upset. waiting days and days sometimes 6 days 7 days. in one case they waited five days and when he finally got to a a doctor he said i am sorry i am going on vacation now. what is it with john mccain and the vets? he has been one of the people in charge and he has don't kne a v poor job. i don't think i said anything wrong. >> let me ask you, you keep talking about leverage as it relates to the third party. let's assume you are treateded fairly in the process you p didn't win the nomination at that point you would support the republican candidate? >> that's true. i would like to see a candidate that i like and respect and that i agree with. i would never go to the other side. >> who do you respect? >> i don't want to say beca

mccain or trump? and i swap them in the polls. the veterans like me better because they know i will take care of them. after 30 years he is not taking care of them. and this last thing with fox. all you have to do is ask roger who won. i do not think i have made any mistakes. i'm sure i will at some point, but so far you have to say as a work of badly? right. reported is not want to give me an answer. >> your wife is the possible first lady? they are not doing it to any other candidate. trump: did you run a profile? that will not happen. she is fantastic. >> what kind of things will you do differently for this country? trump: almost everything. what things in my candidate different for this country? almost everything, because that is what has to happen. everything we do is wrong. the military, we are not taking care of the military or our vets. we are not taking care of our country, our finances. we're not taking care of our trade deals. when was the last time you saw this country have a victory? we do not have victories. we do no

we know he is going to talk about war and we have heard from john mccain.ve heard from the head of the armed services committee saying if you oppose this, it's tantamount to war. we are seeing reaction from the republican presidential candidates and we have heard already from scott walker who said the statement -- the president could give the speech 100 times over and it would not change appeasement of iran and he would do it on day one. pimm: bill, i want to get your thoughts on the math and the house and senate. the the 20 the president said he would strike if this comes to his desk. where does the president need to do the most politicking? to do theas politicking on a democratic side. it's pretty clear republicans, that is not unanimously come large majority will vote against the steel. he has to look to the second vote that will take place and whether or not he vetoes it, he has sufficient votes to sustain it in either house. he has to focus on those democrats who are undecided saying i don't have to decide is now. i will wait until the time comes other

we saw it after the john mccain comments. this is going to be the end of him. all republican haves an excuse to pile on donald trump. watch the poll numbers collapse. this is still a little bit early but we have three bits of evidence in these polls that are coming out today that at least in the immediate aftermath of this debate, donald trump did not go down at all. >> we see a solid base of support for him and the people that support him are anti any establishment. somebody gets in a fight with anybody perceived to be the establishment whether the media or another candidate reinforces their belief in him. you know, on the megyn kelly issue, it will be interesting to watch her show as jonathan was saying and see what she says tonight. if donald trump behaved this way, we could call that harassment and it's got to be a point that it's particularly ugly and i can only say that i have tremendous respect for her for not engaging in it. >> here is my question with this fox news trump relationship. who is more scared of who here? typically the republican candidate w

in a statement, john mccain said: >>> the fighting in syria claims more lives. today a syrian army jet slammed into a marketplace in idlib province conducting air strikes on rebel forces. the crash killing 27 people and injuring dozens more. it was not clear what caused the crash. secretary of state john kerry met with leaders of the gulf cooperation council in qatar, and is trying to reassure allies that the nuclear agreement with iran will make the region safer. it was said that troirn will be -- tehran will be easier to deal with if it can't build a nuclear weapon >> we focused exclusively on iran's nuclear programme and the potential of iran. therefore, it was resolved a nuclear deal. without any understanding or expectation of what would flow from iran with respect to the region >>> after the meeting, gulf leaders offered a cautious endorsement of the iran deal. kerry is in singapore to deliver a speech on u.s. trade and investment. >> former president jimmie carter is recovering after liver surgery, he said it was to remove a mass from his liver. the 90-ye

brian: john mccain spent five years in prison in vietnam. back to some vietnam history.ot of your involvement in antiwar stuff started with vietnam. here is marcus raskin, who invented the institute of policy studies. he is now 81 years old. a panel discussion of people who were antiwar in vietnam. watch a little bit of this. thatere's certain things we should be very happy about. first of all, that we are all together, and that -- [applause] all, that you should always hire a good lawyer. [laughter] don't have a good lawyer, you are in trouble. is, you need street feet. you need to be able to organize from the street, to get people in the offices to hear what is going on in the street. so there's this dialectic, if you will, between those two relationships. that dialectic becomes the basis upon which real change can occur. not forever. never forever. not for 10,000 years. give us a few generations and let us begin again. let us move a tiny bit further ahead. brian: as you know, he worked for george bonnie, who was an adviser to kennedy and johnson. didn't get along over

i want you to listen to what senator john mccain is saying and give us your view of this. senator mccain: have we have wely lost -- completely lost our sense of any moral caring and concern about thousands and thousands of people who are murdered, who are made refugees, who are dying as we speak? and the secretary of state says that we should not like our hair on fire. and what does the president had to say today? the president of the united states today says, well, well, it's climate change that we have to worry about. i'm worried about climate change. do we give a damn about what is happening in the streets of ramadi and the thousands of and the and the people innocent men, women and children who are dying and being executed and their bodies burned in the street? brian: he sounds a little bit like you. phyllis: please. brian: concerned about people and refugees. phyllis: this is the same senator john mccain whose recipe for what to do about iran, for instance, was not to support a solution that is based on negotiations rather than war. his solution was the very clever bo

mccain isn't running against president. he's doing a good job with perry at 1%.t tend of the day, i lost my legs in afghanistan. i hope he doesn't score me under for that. i want to know with my legs here am i a failure. am i an underacleavhieveunderac. i assume he likes the veterans who came back with their legs. >> not all veterans. >> it's true. >> active duty and retired veteran, according to poll today prefer trump to john mccain. why is that? is it because he's a great guy or consistent views. no. two reasons, it's thrilling to listen to man saying ha he really thinks. no one else does and the people who run everything have failed. trump may be ludicrous, is he more ludicrous than the rest of the people that allowed the world to disentegrate. >> he's not as ludicrous as ludicrous the rapper. >> slightly less. >> trump banned this iowa paper from his events because they were mean to him. isn't there a certain kind of hypocrisy where his supporters praise him for being blunt but if anybody is blunt to him he's sensiti sensitive. >> this makes no sense. you ha

who do you like better to the veterans, john mccain or trump? i swamp him in the poll.ast thing with fox, i love roger ales but all you have to do is ask him who won. >> not the only candidate at the iowa state fair this weekend but was the only one to arrive like this. he landed at the airport in des moines and took his private helicopter to a site near the fire grounds. once there, he took questions by the press surrounded by local children who gathered for chopper rides. trump rolled out his point by point approach on immigration on "meet the press." >> not doing great. >> let's see they have the money. they will pay for the wall. they're sending drugs and they're taking money out. they're making a lot of money. mexico is making a lot of money. i'm a big fan of mexico. i'm a huge fan of the mexican people. i have thousands of mexican people working for me now and have over the years but they have to pay for the wall. we need the wall. do you know ten years ago, hillary and everybody wanted a wall? now they say it's too expensive. now they say it's too expensive. >> y

mccain or trump? and i swap them in the polls.the veterans like me better because they know i will take care of them. after 30 years he is not taking care of them. and this last thing with fox. all you have to do is ask roger who won. i do not think i have made any mistakes. i'm sure i will at some point, but so far you have to say as a work of badly? reported is not want to give me an answer. >> your wife is the possible first lady? they are not doing it to any other candidate. did you run a profile? that will not happen. she is fantastic. >> what kind of things we do different for this country? donald trump: almost everything. what things in my candidate different for this country? almost everything, because that is what has to happen. everything we do is wrong. the military, we are not taking care of the military or our vets. we are not taking care of our country, our finances. we're not taking care of our trade deals. when was the last time he saw this country have a victory? we do not have victories? we do not have victories

not just the consulting comments about mexicans, about john mccain and war veterans and christians and women. every single time, this will kill him, but it doesn't because the voters like, as reid said, that he doesn't respect any conventional boundaries and he'll tellis -- it like it is. gwen: i do think that heidi klum is going to take them down. let's talk about the granular stuff. we did get a little policy this week. on the birthright citizenship question, we saw scott walker, who used to be the leader in iowa say ah on one hand and on the other hand is that a -- an example of a clear position that people could take that people are now scared to take if it means opposing or offending donald trump? >> you'll offend trump and his supporters and you set yourself up for problems in the general election, something that scott waublinger remains conscious of. he's tried to emphasize his conservativism but just enough to leave the idea of being a crossover artist as the nominee. the flip side is bush, whoa sticks to his principle, which has been no, i don't agree with that. he's always ha

and i can think of several that senator mccain had in debates.e he encountered a woman about losing her son in iraq. that moment was totally organic and wasn't staged. so it is also up to the candidate to be thinking on their feet. and that's part of what we're looking for. a person who can think on their feet. >> right. >> if you're jeb bush who you obviously support, do you position yourself on stage as the anti-trump? do you lay out positions in very specific terms which donald trump is probably less likely to do? or do you try to take on donald trump because to me it seems like every time a candidate takes on a donald trump, that gives donald trump another 30 seconds or a minute to respond and gives him more air time. >> and it works both ways anderson. any time donald trump attacks anybody on that stage, they're going to get 30 seconds rebuttal time. so i think it is really to their hindrance if they start attack each other. all they're doing is giving their opponents more time and it is a very limited amount of time with ten people on that

bush, passionate, conservative, but john mccain, sort of edgy, tell it like it is. as you all know, that can play well. the danger for kasich, is he walks the very line of edgy and toes it and you're kind of worried that maybe at some point if a voter gets in his face, it may not be pretty. >> up next, joe biden, al gore? maybe it's better to ask which prominent democrats are not looking at hillary clinton's poll numbers and then taking a second look at the 2016 race. first, though, politicians say and eat the darndest things especially if you're aet the state fair especially chowing down something fried. that's a way to make nice with the iowa voters. >> it's the best pork chop on a stick i've ever hachltd it's really, rt good. >> one more bite. >> that was a snickers bar done the right way. making your own way can be pretty, well, bold. rickie fowler is redefining what it means to be a golfer. quicken loans is doing the same for mortgages. quicken loans. home buy. refi. power. official mortgage sponsor of the pga tour. dso at gnc, why do we do it?st quality nutrit

he very much insulted john mccain and now he's insulting meghan kelly. that said, as i just said, he's made these insulting remarks before and it's done nothing to his poll numbers. i don't think it's going to change any time soon. he has to make a huge mistake, something so gravely offensive at this point for him to really get knocked off that perch any time in the next couple weeks. >> sabrina, political reporter, your assessment of where we stand at halftime since we have all watched that first hour of debate. any high point you want to refer to? >> i think what was really interesting was to watch the different approaches that some of these candidates took in dealing with donald trump's presence on that stage. two senators in particular, rand paul and marco rubio, whose campaigns have struggled to get off the ground, they had a different way of approaching donald trump and approaching this debate. rand paul came out early and aggressively. he went after trump when e he wouldn't take the pledge not to run as an independent. e he also sparred with him o
