he said, mccain, are you chicken?frank, in the moment of truth responded, he laid the gauntlet down. no, man, i ain't chicken. they looked at david richmond and said -- >> mccain would put his finger in your chest. >> yeah. he said, you, hopper grass, grasshopper, are you chicken? and david said, no, man, i ain't chicken. and they looked at me and said, ez, are you chicken? i said, come on, man. i said, i don't think i can go right now. i got too many things to do. he said, no, we're going to vote on it. it's the democratic way. so he said, right, everybody in favor, raise your hands. >> and you raised your hand. >> but there was another vote to be cast. for jibreel, parental approval was essential. >> on the night of the 31st, joe mcneil, frank mccain, david richmond, and my son came out to the house, and he said, we are going to do something tomorrow. this was on a sunday night. we are going to do something tomorrow that's going to shake up the nation. and i said, shake up the nation? what are you talking about? >>

he said, mccain, are you chicken?nt of truth responded, he laid the got lit down. not a chicken. he looked at dane and richmond . >> yeah. >> he said you, grasshopper, are you chicken? and david said no, man, i ain't chicken. and they looked at me and said, e, are you chicken? i said, come on, man. i have things to do. and he said we will vote on it in the democratic way. everybody in favor, raise your hand. >> and you raised your hand. >> but there was another vote to be cast. for jibreel, parental approval was essential. >> on the night of the 31st, joe mcneil, frank mccain, david richmond, and my son came to the house and said, we are going to do something tomorrow. this was a sunday night. we are going to do something tomorrow that will shake up the nation. and i said, shake up the nation, what are you talking about? >> father said, yeah. you guys are going to take a serious step. do you guys realize what you are doing is going to affect not only your families, your friends, your community? are you ready for that?

police prevent from continuing to receive funds it's become a rallying cry of the left so meghan mccain on the view as sen cabala harris about defunding watch is gaining a lot of steam nancy pelosi this morning just refused to answer if she would support to funding the police i just want to know for a new do you support to funding and removing police from american community is and if not i why do you think there is such a hard time being differentiated right now between defunding and reforming police departments simple question simple answer some again i think that a big part of this conversation really is about reimagining how we do public safety in america and which i support to her credit megan mccain kept at it senator i hear you loud and clear and i don't think there's any rational american right now who doesn't think that we need to take a cold hard look at reforming our police but there was a video that went viral over the weekend of the mayor of minneapolis being yelled at saying yes or no question are you for defining the police so i'm going to ask the same question the protest

i was thinking about his funeral today because of the john mccain memorial gathering at the national cathedral. he was buried in new york, he felt very grateful to new york. the city provided this beautiful spot in the new riverside park. grants funeral spoke to the public very much in the way that john mccain's memorial services have been speaking to the public. but grants funeral 1 million and a half people flooded to the. memorial granted his family made a statement. there was a north and south reconciliation. as one of the honourary pallbearers they were great confederate generals, jeff and simon back in. are part of this reconciliation team, the stonewall jackson brigade from virginia march the brigade. grant have been very instrumental in the civil war in terms of recruiting and training black soldiers. this is really grounds final statement from beyond the grave. i think that grant in many ways reminds what people say about mccain in terms of his patriotism, his bravery, the fact that he established himself in civilian and military service. it reminds us of what old-fashioned

potential vice presidential running mate for biden, got into an exchange over this issue with meghan mccain on "the view" yesterda. take a look. >> anything there's any rational american who doesn't think that we need to take a cold hard look at reforming our police, but there was a video that went viral over the weekend of the mayor of minneapolis being yelled at saying, yes or no question, are you for defunding the police? i'm going to ask the same question. are you for defunding the police? >> how are you defining defund the police? >> i'm not for anything remotely for that, so i would ask the protesters the same thing but i assume, and again, this is something that is new to me, i assume it's removing police and as congresswoman ilhan omar said, bring in a new way of governing and law and order into a community, and my understanding, again, this is something that has just come into my understanding recently is that you would not have police officers like this minneapolis city council woman said, i would be a place of privilege if someone broke into my home and i wanted to call the polic

the polls quite dramatically we might remember the recession in 2008 turned that race between john mccain and barack obama from being a close one to been a landslide in barack obama's favor so it is the case that things can change but there's no doubt president trump has had a bad week he's had supreme court decisions go against his and his party's wishes and he has also have a former adviser be releasing a book that is. trump's leadership adolfo franco in alexandria virginia the essence of trump's campaign yes and of trump's administration has always been built so that one of the planks is immigration to get this so badly wrong so close the election is a very big tactical mistake is an ill. why don't these guys in iran at all just as your other guest to mix up a lot of politics here but i was trying to address the legal issues 1st of all as he acknowledged the president has the authority and this executive order certainly be israel elected will be rescinded as a procedural bump in the road but that's all that's going to be but and a curiously again president obama exceeded his authority

an officer confronting elijah mccain telling him to stop. officer says he has a right to stop him because he looks stretchy. there is a brief struggle there that the camera captures and then elijah mccain is on the ground in a choke hold. he vomits. he tells the officers he can't breathe. >> stop. >> yeah, i'm sorry. i wasn't trying to do that. i can't breathe correctly because -- >> paramedics arrive and inject elijah mcclain with a sedative. he goes into cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital. three days later, elijah mcclain was declared brain ted and taken off life-support. the officers have since been reinstated. three million people signed a petition calling for a re-examination of the case, and this week, you appointed state's attorney general as a special prosecutor. governor, what changed for you in this case over that time that you decided it should have a special prosecutor? >> sometimes three million people are right. sometimes three million people are wrong. in this case, three million people and many more who agree there sho

[laughter] >> john mccain's daughter, she is the one conservative. as for liberals.nfair when you watch the debate. i can't stand to watch it. those numbers are four to one. that would be a mainstream newsroom, it would be more like 12 to one so take the view, take all those for liberals, loan them two times so you get 12 liberals versus that one, meghan mccain, that would be what a typical newsroom would be like. the 7% number is exaggerated and it's more like 421, something like that. newsroom, it's overwhelmingly left. what can be done about it? i'm not sure except i think that people are on twitter. i think the average voter no longer thinks the new york times is the t record, it is fair and balanced. it is the voice of the left and i think, because of this and other factors in the news industry, i think a lot of these mainstream outlets are going on. it's going to take a long time, i've calculated the half-life of journalists and mainstream newsroom something like 15 or 20 years. if you go out 15 years, new york times will have only half its journalists. thirty

john mccain was a campaign conservative.ty deals and republicans and conservatives couldn't make it. trump takes on the left wing media, there's the new york times, these republicans want to be loved by the left wing media and he fights political correctness and the republicans want to play the politically correct game. if they won't support president trump they are literally casting a ballot for leftists, for comrade core tees cortez, for b. the arrogance is offensive and they're not republicans if they can't support president trump. jedediah: i disagree a little bit, in the sense that if they don't like him and they don't want to support him, i feel like then they don't have to support him. but they do need to say why. if they're going to publicly say, make a statement of i don't support president trump you need to articulate why. it can't just be he's mean. that's not a sufficient reason. you need to point to policy reasons. you are a high profile public figure. you need to let people know there's a legitimate reason behi

my thought of the moment in 2008 when john mccain was out of town hall and a woman stood up and made derogatory comments about barack obama and ended by saying she thought he was an arab. john mccain said with all due respect, he's a good man, a good family man and someone i just happen to disagree with on the issues. to sort of set biden up, and and at that moment, he had to engaged to what could not be described as anything other than demagoguery. and shame on him for doing so. we don't need that in america, we don't need to undermine the confidence in our institutions and try to treat our political opponents and, he couldn't string two sentences together earlier, but those were two sentences that he should not have uttered. >> sean: if president trump kirk cured cancer, they would still would hate him, those on the left. and you've been reading all the new developments as related to the deep state, and that something i never thought i would see in that this country either. >> they put a ban on the travel from china and vice president joe biden, they called it xenophobic and racist

there are reports that cindy mccain and george w. bush will not support him either. it will create some space for republicans who don't want him to be president again to support him. i can tell you based on my reporting the biden campaign is less concerned winning over republicans than they are making sure the young liberal voters who supported bernie sanders will be votesing for joe biden. >> tropical storm cristobal has caused a state of emergency to be declared. could drop up to a foot of rain. a startling story. a sheriff's deputy killed in an ambush saturday. sergeant damon gutsweller got a call about a van filled with explosives. the driver of the van opened fire and set off explosives, killing the sergeant and wounding a second deputy and another officer. the suspect, an active duty sergeant from travis air force base was wounded and is now in custody. new york city is back in business tomorrow. many shops can reopen in the one-time epicenter of this pandemic, but several restrictions will stay in place. infections are still adding up in the united states and

the mccain calling people want stability and peace so they can live safely and develop their careers. however prominent pro-democracy protesters joshua young says hong kong is meant more than that he also points to the reversal of the extradition bill as a clear sign that protesting works. we'd be target or banditry recognize the rick market by fellow protester. successfully and has beijing to withdraw the controversial bill and on last november 85 percent of the states and that this recount so well by protocol critical this line sight picture it imply how silence across the stand were set on the side of fellow protesters but regardless of that success protests on this scale could soon be a thing of the past if painting gets its way with the new security bill dissenting voices could soon be much more few and far between. earlier i spoke to dorian lao from amnesty international hong kong and i asked her whether hong kong's pro-democracy movement could survive if beijing's new security law comes into force we can see in the past year that. the protest movement hunger is actually a vibra

for him to have ignored john mccain when he said john mccain was no hero because he got shot down, got captured, and then to allow these generals who were losers, traders, who lost in their campaign to maintain slavery, it seems to me he could be at least willing and open as the pentagon is and members of congress to say let's rethink this. we renamed andrews air force base to joint base andrews. we renamed fort meyer to a joint base, joint base meyer henderson. we can rename these other bases without insulting anyone. in fact, most black soldiers who served and trained at those bases felt an enormous amount f of, i guess, regret they had to serve at a place that was named after those who fought to keep them in slavery. i think the president has indicated he is a nationalist. but i think that nationalist was confined to a specific group of people, white people. i think it's up to white people -- i think it's up to white people to speak out and not allow this to become a black issue. this is white people who have held the power for 400 years. we need to speak out and say it's time for a

the young men had the mccain i just said the only . i reckon if i. didn't commit some she. didn't come with me i'm against your 1st. big shock that my son that men are french. and. move. from. ramadi voc in the letters and. a smile had this mohammad. luna in mind for washing the implants. in nam and young as in one of his sons will be sent to me well. if i'm in the young. half as it seems more us from. home so we're all. the same. it was. the good me i got a couple. that doesn't. make a. 7 living. being. me me me oh that. you. miss will help the company india will know who you will need condoning i mean i want you to many but after cinema mauritania continues to something of a family india who to much for as to what. it is are not a helicopter for human madiba can be coming aboard harriet a little diversion to. the my home is what i'm saying oh i'm tamara construe for the next because i'm cynical under scrutiny would go over me a car be curvy he needed in me to my. idea of the alchemist. and without any of the georgian and then the cinema over time and we could talk to the

also, john mccain implicated for his role in getting that dossier to the fbi. your thoughts?> well, listen, i think that there's a period of foreign policy that we're all going to take a look back in a few years and realize how flawed it was, libya, iran, the arab spring, egypt allowing the muslim brotherhood to temporarily take control of the country and those occurred under barack obama, joe biden and hillary clinton's watch. we're still trying to repair the damage from that. there's one of -- the iran deal had an enormous benefit to russia. as soon as iran got the money and got the sanctions lifted, what did it do? it bought hundreds of millions of dollars of russian military equipment. vladimir putin got a check in the frank the iran deal. -- in the bank from the iran deal. take a look at what happened after the iran deal was consummated by barack obama. lou: that's fascinating. and we've got about a minute left. i want to turn to bolton's new book. your reaction to it and his obvious betrayal of the president he worked for. john: there's a lot of issues, classified infor

mccain there is. no you can do nothing wrong i john. no your job on you john wooden is to do a coke and. i didn't hear john in the movies or. should bet. is a misleader but. i said he shouldn't be none of the business of. the minutes of the home but i know what it's about to. me that it was one of the. it was a little known but i'm only getting this one i'm. sure the more i mean. any other misjudgements. tasneem gayety shortcake as beast was. about a teen or stone hard to shroud castle caught hoddle made. casts a whole year more tell us that the camera reask. the shadow it could that effect if he legit wouldn't have time to jam with. the stone. circle on those. holes of. the 2nd escape with whatever bush had anything he thinks with a bunch of those funny very wolf in cardboard they do it on a b. sub and it will be in them and know the ending. foreseeing you know being a bit was a good. name in them if that's not what you know them over the phone with bushman. you jessica and then i love that i've already. mentioned that one i don't see

i was out there asking a lot of mention mccain on the team or you want on all of the same called for to make sure many cases hundreds of this stuff on the same mission me tonight. then you know washington got together or even the russian name or our machine can watch them she. must. know. you can numbers you can promise you. that you can. get one. more by mr beaty. if i mean. that. when. i heard this. it come from eritrea sudan and other subsaharan countries they've escaped war and economic hardship. but the israeli government caused the 50000 migrants who crossed into the country through egypt freighters the foreigners may not be legally deported the government refuses to grant them refugee status. meanwhile the new generation of migrant children is growing up with being educated in israel their hope to be granted a secure place in a country built by refugees. we feel that as long these children are in santa they are being taken care of we know what's going on with them we see them 247 we know where they go when they come back we take care of all their needs once they are 18 and the

john mccain 2008. at a rally, a woman stood up at a q&a session said i think barack obama is terrible. i think he's an arab and john mccain said no, he's a decent american with a good family. i just happen to do does agree with him on the issues. he did provoke this from joe biden, the best thing would have been to say i don't think that's going to ever happen. he is the president of the united states, he understands our constitution and the rule of law. that's not going to happen. but instead, he put fire on whatever flame he might have provoked him with. was the wrong thing to say. >> dana: it's trevor noah. but i like how you are referring to him in a very formal manner. nella, trevor. >> sorry. >> dana: i think what happened in georgia the other day on the day of their primary was terrible. nobody should have to wait that long to vote, it shouldn't be that hard. you hear stacy abrams on the view talking about that. >> fundamentally, we deserve to have elections that work for everyone. i believe tha

mccain there is. no you can do nothing wrong i john. i. know your job know you john would do mr couper coke and. i did and here john in the u.s. . should bet. is a misleader but being. a senate candidate in one of the biggest it's. the madness of the i don't know what it is about. me that in washington but i'm. sure. it was a little known but i'm going to some of them. each morning more coming. in about an instance of the. embryos tasneem gayety shortcake as beast was. about 18 or stone harder to shroud cast because hoddle mitch went on all cast a whole year more tell us at the reask. the shadowy could that effect if he legit wouldn't that have a chance with. the stone. circle on those. holes of. the 2nd disk of earth whatever bush had anything he thinks with a bunch of those funny very often cardboard they do it on a b. cell the bynum and the extending. foreseeing you know being a bit was a bit. an imminent thing in that's a problem when you know when i'm on the phone with bushman moving in and. you just think we can then a little bit of

rick davis, former campaign manager for john mccain. rick, thank you so much for joining us.ime, we also spoke with former president to hopeful andrew yang who is unveiling a new project today to get americans compensated for their data. he also weighed in on the trump rally in the possibility that tiktok teens and k-pop twitter users per 10. andrew: -- pranked him. andrew: we were always trying to estimate how many people would show up, and a lot of it was based on sign-ups. so the teens were very smart. i think they boost to the numbers to some inflated number, and the true level was an inflation of that. it goes to show if you are going to run an event, you have to figure out who is signing up, where they live, and whether they will show. emily: normally president trump is expertly using the power of social media. on that note, do you think the biden campaign understands technology enough and can do what they need to do in order to break through, hold onto the momentum they have, and generate the buzz that will be needed to win? andrew: i think joe will do well among many,

staff director for the senate armed services committee and prior to that he was advisor for john mccain and previously held other positions in the government . right now he is the chief strategy officer that builds capabilities for the military as well as the department of homeland security and we can talk about that as we go through the interview thank you very much for being with us today. >> it's great to be here. >> so just to start off with what led you to do this book? you've been thinking about these issues for a while and obviously this is something you've encountered a lot during your several years on the armed services committee and with senator mccain as a policy advisor what was the genesis that led to you sitting down and writing an entire book ? >> it's a great question and i asked myself that constantly, why did i get into this every day i was working on it? i guess it was basically two things. one was and both of these were a product of the many years i spent working on these issues when i was in the senate and just thinking about this stuff on a day-to-day basis . the f

movie version of it.ohn i miss john mccain so much.f john mccain were alive today, it would be scorching and scalding the rhetoric he woult be dirg at this president of his own party. >> woodruff: and, david, as we wrap up our conversation, what hope ce we take into weekend? >> well, listen, these rallies, most of the cops have been great, they have been fine, they have been da they have been kneeling with people, they have been talking with people. you know, we cover the extremes and, you know, what we do, it's where the conflict is, but most calm, peaceful, dedicated toen policy, dedicated to fundametal change and warm and even amidst the ger, there' comradeship there, and most of the cops have done eir job, and so, we shouldn't take the extremes as to what is going on in the middle which is pretty damn good. >> woodruff: on that note, daviks, mark shields, thank you. >> judy. >> woodruff: please join us tonight for our special, "race matters: americaisis." it is a moment to listen. voand we hear from powerfues on inequality, policin

also john mccain implicated for his role in getting that, that dossier to the fbi. >> right. listen, i think that there's a period of foreign policy that we're all going to take a look back in a few years and realize how flawed it was; libya, iran, the arab spring, egypt, allowing the muslim brotherhood to temporarily take control of the country. and those all occurred on barack obama, joe biden and hillary clinton's watch. and i think people are going to have to look back and realize we're still trying to repair the damage from that. here's one of the most interesting things about the iran deal that doesn't get focus, it had an enormous benefit to russia. as soon as iran got the money and got the sanctions lefted, it -- lifted, out went and bought hundreds of millions of dollars of russian military equipment. vladimir putin once again got a check. a lot of people don't make that connection, but if you want to have a scandal about russia, take a look at what happened after the iran deal was consummated by barack obama. lou: that's fascinating. and we've got about a minute lef

they don't want to repeat a mistake that john mccain made when he selected sarah palin, and it raised judgment in her ability to take over. >> you know, helene cooper, i think about some of the top candidates here. you've got val demings, who has not run for statewide office before and susan rice, who has not run for office before but has a ton of national security credentials. and val demings, a lot of credibility on law enforcement issues being a former police chief and kamala harris, who has run a national campaign. there are different ways of looking at this. which way do you think biden is more concerned about what, at this point? >> i think in the moment that we're in right now, obviously the push for an african-american woman is probably something that vice president biden has been focusing on a lot, but let's assume that this moment sort of eases at some point and then you get to the whole -- both the electability issue and also the issue of who can step in once -- if given his age, if he actually wins. so he's got to balance who can help him beat trump and who looks like they

john mccain's daughter, she's the one conservative and it's so unfair when you watch the debate. to watch it. now those numbers are for - 1. now to get what would actually be in the mainstream newsroom it would actually be 12 to one so take the view, take all those for liberals, clone them two times so you get 12 liberals versus that one megan mccain. that would be what a typical newsroom would be like and that 7% number, it's more like 40 to one. in the newsroom it's just overwhelmingly left. what can be done about it? i'm not sure except that people are onto it. i think the average voter no longer thanks the new york times is the paper of record, that it is fair and balanced. that they realize it is the voice of the left and i think because of this and other factors, i think a lot of these mainstream outlets are just going to start dying off. it will take a long time, i've calculated the half-life of journalists out of mainstream newsroom is something like 15 or 20 years. if you go out 15 years, the new york times will have only half its journalist so it will gradually wither a

even take books home for homework is not enough books for them to take books all the new homework mccain didn't job because i'm black because this country is built off of black oppression in black paint best way it made people say you know what we targeted the. whole wall we'll give you more real bad news the power of the government we won our freedom and we won enough to not ask for. it. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on the story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's t

they don't want to repeat a mistake that john mccain made when he selected sarah palin and it raisedions about his judgment in her ability to take over. >> you know, helene cooper, i think about some of the top candidates here. you've got val demings who has not run for statewide office before, susan rice who's not run for any office before but has a ton of national security credentials. val demings, obviously a lot of credibility on law enforcement issues being a former police chief. kamala harris who has run a national campaign. there are different ways of looking at this. which way do you think biden is more concerned about what at this point? >> i think in the moment that we're in right now, obviously the push for an african-american woman is probably something that vice president biden has been focusing on a lot, but let's assume that this moment sort of eases at some point and then you get to the whole -- both the electability issue and also the issue of who can step in once -- if given his age, if he actually wins. so he's got to balance who can help him beat trump and who loo

making sure that the mccain ship was not in site of his visit to japan.g them wear maga hats, et cetera. i think what he's doing is trying to send the message that this is his military and he will fire anyone in the chain of command that at all criticizes him or disagrees with him and simply replaces them with yes men. firing all of the independent inspector generals. where is congress in all of this? congress has a role to play and they're sitting on the sidelines. they're either acting or failing to act out of fear. >> we're showing our viewers live pictures of protestors in chicago right now. these protestors clearly continuing all over the country. the acting deputy secretary of homeland security ken cuccinelli, i just spoke with him, earlier he urged governors to bring in the national guard in order to restore order to the streets. do you believe that approach is necessary or only perpetuating the unrest we're seeing? >> i think it's up to the governors and the local mayors to make that decision in terms of whether they have control over the local si

he described him as pandering to china, attacking john mccain even after his death and dubbing him unfit for office. meet the press this morning adam schiff is asking if he is pushing for bolton now to testify. >> given the person was going to cheat in the upcoming election we couldn't wait another year to get john bolton to testify. i think we have ratified what we are hearing from the senators. we made the case when we were urging the testimony in the senate that the senators would one day have to explain why we did not want to hear from him when we had the opportunity. >> the president is bashing the book as lies and threatening criminal prosecution. now to the fight against coronavirus, today the world saw the largest single day increase in virus infections according to the world health organization. 183,000 cases reported just today. worldwide there are now more than 8.8 million reported cases. we want to take a closer look at the latest case tally here in california. this shows the total number of cases and hospitalizations each day. you can see it going up. it has jumped by more t

you know, when i watched that image, the one thing i thought of was if john mccain were still alive todaythe united states senate, job mccain would be livid about the prospect of sending active duty military to lafayette park in washington, d.c. lindsey graham, who you showed a moment ago, in addition to being a united states senator, he is a reservist in the united states air force as a jag, a military lawyer. he is in his reservist capacity a colonel level lawyer in the military. lindsey graham knows better and so if donald trump gets a second term, you know, he'll be unleashed from having to think about getting re-elected again and will continue to act on a lot of the same impulses we're seeing now. a lot of his language, frankly, sounds like a sheriff from is southeast in the early 1960s or an authoritarian leader from overseas. it's foreign to how you and i grew up listening to presidents, republican and democrat. >> first i want to show you some images that were disturbing to a lot of people of troops throughout dc hiding their names, not identifying what agency they were from. it's

against senator john mccain, george w.h, then president, talked to me about the subtle pieces of racism that he was noticing. he said that. the george w. bush that we saw publicly, you did not necessarily see the heart, but he is speaking from his heart, and that is not something unheard of or uncommon to me as it relates to him. he is a man who is still hurting from the missteps of hurricane katrina. he is a man who is still going to africa with the then first lady laura bush. he's still going there to help with issues of malaria, to help with so many other diseases that he was dealing with during his administration. so, this is not beyond the pale for me with george w. bush, former president, but he is holding strong and holding true to what he said about not contradicting any other president. he didn't do it about barack obama and he's following suit not doing it directly about this president, but he's talking overarchingly about the moment, not necessarily the president, who has blaring faults for many of us to see. >>
