john mccain wants to privatize social security. and in 2008, he still thinks, okay, when women don't earn equal pay for equal work work. now, with an agenda like that, it makes perfect sense that george bush and john mccain will be together next week in the twin cities. because these days they're awfully hard to apart. no. american is still around after 232 years. because we have risen to every challenge and every new changing to be faithful to our values of, equal opportunity for all and the common good. and i know what that can mean for every man, woman and child in america. i'm a united states senator because in 1848, a of courageous women and a few brave men gathered in seneca falls, new york, many traveling for a day's and nights to participate in the first convention on women's rights in our history. and so dawned a struggle for the right to vote that would last 72 years handed by mother to daughter to granddaughter her and a few sons and grandsons along. the way. these women men looked into their daughters and imagined a fai

>> i'm a big fan of senator mccain, as well.m when i was -- intern when he was congressman john mccain. i've been the mayor for 10 years so the first six or seven years, five or six years of that, i got to work with senator mccain, as well. it is painful to see the way that he is treated by the republican party now. it is shameful and that is part of what motivates me to speak up. i generally try to avoid partisan fights. it's not necessarily productive to my goal of being a good mayor, but occasionally, you have to wade into these waters and defending the good name of john mccain is a cause that i am anxious to be involved in. >> and i just love the spontaneous applause. you didn't even stop for the applause. it just arrested. i wanted to ask you what you, what conversations you are having, not in front of thousands and thousands of people, but what are your sort of private persuasion messages to republicans? >> well, there's been a lot of them. i was stopped yesterday in the gym by a couple of young men who had concerns. they

he even criticized former senator john mccain, a prisoner of war, for being captured. who donald trump really is. this is where we start the hour with some of our favorite military experts and fries. medal of honor recipient and retired arnie colonel jack jacobs is with us, along with retired four-star general and msnbc with terry and was barry mccaffrey and lieutenant colonel and founder of democratic majority action- packed, the effort mentioned amy mcgrath and the host of the independent americans podcast, ceo at the independent veterans of america and founder of iraq in afghanistan members is here. i can't believe we have to have this conversation but here we are. i guess when i want to ask you, do your peers, do the men and women, do veterans, do men and women in the military understand that donald trump, not only doesn't respect them but really does see them as suckers and losers? >> well, many do but many don't pick up despite the fact that donald trump is one of the most inept public speakers, i have her, i am an old person, so i have been around a great deal,

who attacked mccain, a war hero, who was tortured by the enemy in vietnam. trump said, i like people who weren't captured. our next guest, paul hickman, worked for john mccain and said part -- who have hijacked the republican party do not have the temperament or the aptitude for public service they're not concerned with governing or delivering for arizona. they are unwilling to work across the aisle to seek practical solutions to the crises we face. they only want power. and they want to play games. joining us now, paul hickman, former policy director and state director to senator john mccain, he's endorsed and ruben gallego in his senate race and he's a member of republicans for harris. paul, thank you for being with us. what's going on in arizona, we saw this in 2022, in the elections then, we saw what feels like a coalition. it's not simply random republicans joining to support democrats, it's the idea that arizona has a proud political history, and, too many republicans, it seems to be offensive what some of these election deniers and extremists were doi

so, again, to all of us, i would say in the spirit of the great senator, john mccain, please join merotecting the rule of law and protecting our constitution and protecting the democracy of our great country. and that is why i am standing with vice president harris and governor walz. >> the arizona republicans are also taking a stand against trump endorsed election denier kari lake choosing instead to support the other nominee for senate in arizona and to them this has been corrupted by donald trump and his sycophants and for them the only answer is for him to be defeated and many of these republicans for harris worked for the late senator john mccain, who was revered in the state and you saw when he said his name how loudly the crowd applauded. he is revered in the state. in the trump era he stood for honor against a commander in chief who attacked john mccain, war hero, tortured by the enemy in vietnam and trump said, "i like people who weren't captured." and her next guest worked for john mccain and told us that the far right politicians who have hijacked the party don't have the

at the mccain institute, the president brought me to tears.and hard because vladimir was not just a hero to russians, but he was someone that john mccain called a hero. that's a big thing considering that john mccain is a global hero himself. it's moving to see that he is finally being released. of course, we know this means a lot to his family. seeing alsu's daughter there also was quite moving. it's a great day today. >> i'm glad you mentioned that. the president mentioning he had been a pallbearer at john mccain's funeral. went back knowing he was going to be arrested. it was a death sentence or life sentence in terms of imprisonment. >> that's right. >> antony blinken from his airplane in tokyo, taking off for the united states after a week-long trip there, just did speak to paul, evan, alsu and vladimir and welcoming them home saying, we are happy you are on your way home. we're not sure of all the calls being made. i want to bring in john brennan who knows so well what goes into these kinds of trades. there may have been one on your watc

he attacks war heroes like don mccain he wants to politicize -- john mccain.liticize things of his own interest. it ties together, nicole, into one mentions -- message. the democratic party is one inclusive patriotic party that stands for american values and the republican party has become the vehicle for one man's personal interest and ambitions. t and ambitions. i thought i was sleeping ok... but i was waking up so tired. then i tried new zzzquil sleep nasal strips. their four—point lift design opens my nose for maximum air flow. so, i breathe better. and we both sleep better. and stay married. >>> after the break. according to new pulling of the lone star state, our next guest is within the margin of error in his race against ted cruz in texas. congressman colin of texas tells us about his plan for the next -- to beat the republican senator. don't go anywhere. take an ekg from anywhere, but with 6-times the data. can your smartwatch do that? introducing kardiamobile 6l, the fda-cleared ekg that provides six-times more heart data than any smartwatch. and it

he attacked john mccain, john mccain's service as a prisoner of war in hanoi for many years.nd we're going to put him back in the white house? never, never, never. thank you. host: and karen in michigan, republican. caller: hi. i will definitely be voting for trump-vance this year. i voted for trump last go-around. i don't even understand what the question would be. i mean, between stolen valor, pro riots, marxist continued as versus j.d. vance, who overcame difficult circumstances growing up. he served in the military, did not abandon his military service. is he put himself through law school. he has a successful career. he's got a beautiful life and family. donald trump always takes questions. he's always available. harris, i don't know, where is she? she doesn't take questions. she only has prepared remarks. and our media doesn't ask her any difficult questions. i know that j.d. vance did suggest yesterday a few questions that the press may want to consider asking her yesterday. he was talking. here in michigan, he was talking about the three policemen who have been killed

staffers of the previous three republican presidential nominees, that ice mitt romney, the late john mccainand george w. bush, have come out and endorsed kamala harris, saying that for them, quote, the alternative is untenable.

mccain is a little bit about closing gaps and going all over the state.was the campaign manager to senator warnock. are these kind of plays that might make the trump team nervous? >> i would have to think so. it was not that long ago at the republican national convention in milwaukee when chris acevedo was briefing reporters and talking about how the trump campaign was expanding the math and how they were going to possibly contest states like new mexico and virginia, how they were so ahead of biden in battleground states that they were going to be able to venture ahead of these states trending blue in the battleground cycles. i don't think we are hearing a lot of that rhetoric from the trump campaign anymore. the fact that the harris campaign is doing this pretty ambitious blitz in georgia suggests that they see a real opportunity there and from the trump campaign perspective, if they have to be defending a state like georgia, talk of expanding the map and contesting states like new mexico is probably off the table at this point and it probably shows how

bush, john mccain, and mitt romney endorsing harris, saying while they might have policy differences with her this is about much more than that. >>> the war in ukraine tonight. and after ukraine pushed into russia, now russia slamming ukraine with the largest aerial assault so far, striking power plants and water supplies. tonight, president zelenskyy pleading with the u.s. and allies for more freedom with long-range weapons inside russia. >>> back here in u.s., the tragic death of a high school quarterback during his team's season opener. the 16-year-old suffering a brain injury during what appeared to be a routine play. >>> that mosquito alert tonight. west nile virus now reported in more than 30 states. tonight, new york city now spraying pesticide, and the massachusetts town that is taking major steps, closing parks and athletic fields. >>> the two american astronauts who were supposed to be in space for eight days, it's now been 80 days. and tonight, nasa now saying they'll be there until february. >>> the heart-stopping moment a cirque du soleil performer losing her grip, plung

mccain's running mate. -- sarah pailin. , ., a mccain's running mate. -- sarah pailin. , ., n , pailinern picked someone, a missouri _ pailin. george mcgovern picked someone, a missouri senator. pailin. george mcgovern picked i someone, a missouri senator and had to dump him 18 days after picking him and that was because reports emerged that mr eagleton had had electric shock treatment after suffering from clinical depression a decade earlier. so this was at a time when mental health was even less understood than it is now. he was taken off the ticket. then we had a much wider look at some family members and more detail and that was in 1984, the democratic not nominee needed a vote changer in his race for ronald reagan and he picked geraldine ferraro, the first female running mate in a national party ticket and soon after she was picked, it emerged conflict of interest and business dealings of her husband came under scrutiny. and while it did not affect the back she was kept on the ticket, but the campaign lost the momentum coming out of the gate. the momentum coming out of the ate. .,

i was proud to be mccain delegate and after i heard what trump said about mccain, that was it. i mean, just to disparage a war hero, somebody who distinguished himself is just outrageous. the republican party that many of us came up through and worked with does not exist, jim, and we wanted back. we want to take it back the way to take it back is to make sure that trump does not get elected. the trump party exists, republican party does not. i believe that vice president harris, so hopefully she'll follow some of the leads of president obama and president biden in terms of reaching out to those experienced, knowledgeable people that can make a difference in some of my be republicans yeah. >> olivia, the republican mayor of mesa, arizona, spoke at harris rally this past weekend in that key battleground state encouraging voters to put country over party. let's listen to what he had to say i have to tell you that i i do not recognize my party. i would say in the spirit of the great senator john mccain, please please please join me in putting country over party and stopping and sto

in the past, he's attacked former prisoners of war like senator john mccain, who spent five years in captivity. >> he's not a war hero. he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured okay? i hate to tell you. >> reporter: trump's former chief of staff, retired general john kelly, also said trump once refused to visit the graves of fallen american soldiers in france, calling them "losers," something trump has denied. tonight, the harris campaign insists trump's latest comments prove he "knows nothing about service to anyone or anything but himself." the first presidential debate now less than a month away. tonight we're learning that donald trump's campaign is bringing in former congresswoman tulsi gabbard to help with his preparations. gabbard, once a democrat herself, ran for president in 2019 and faced off against

kerry lake two years ago past mccain republicans to get the out of the room. that is the prevailing attitude of the clique that is currently running the republican party in arizona and at the national level as well. i have to say on a personal note i can't walk five feet in this town without somebody stopping me and thanking me for expressing the point of view i think is still the prevailing view among republicans and people generally. people are in the middle, donald trump conversely cares only about himself. >> yeah. he cares only about himself and this inability i think recognize anything there's anything other to devote your life to than oneself. the best thing would be to get a fancy medal but you didn't have to do anything and you look great. i do think this is deeper politics in the sense i think people of all kinds of different commitments or policy views or worldviews who do recognize maybe there's a point of public service or even our lives that is more than just self-aggrandizement. >> this helps paint the clear contrast between donald trump and kam

it is a badge of honor for what -- the party of john mccain is gone.been left. but it's not a party that has the best interests of the majority of our country at the top of their agenda. >> on the issues it's not the party of gerald ford or ronald reagan either. >> right. >> so it is the donald trump party. that was very clear from the convention. >> no question. >> and what does that really mean for the future of the republican party and republicans? >> well, that's certainly one of the issues on the ballot in this election, is what is the future of the republican party? donald trump promised us that we'd get tired of winning, didn't he? and really our experience has been just the opposite. i know in arizona the maga candidates are doing very well in primaries and then they're failing miserably in general elections. so again, i think the republican party has lost sight of where the pulse of our country is and where the mainstream of our country. >> there's a "new york times" sienna poll this week showing vice president harris is leading president trum

here is how trump spoke about john mccain. a navy captain who served more than 20 years and spent five- and-a-half of those years as a prisoner of war in vietnam. >> the way trump looks at it, he is at least better than anyone else in the race. beginning with john mccain. >> he was captured. being captured make you a hero? i don't know. i don't like losers. he's not a war hero. he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured okay? i hate to tell you. >> trump likes people that weren't captured and killed andr not those losers and suckers who died for the country. when it comes to trump's own military service? well, there isn't any. trump got four deferments to avoid being drafted in the vietnam war. one was for bone spurs in his feet. in 2018, the daughters of the now deceased queens podiatrist who gave trump that bone spur diagnosis, they said their father gave that to trump as a favor to trump's father. trump's fire was the podiatrist's landlord. the podiatrist got better treatment as one of trum

we weren't really running against john mccain. we were running against the incumbent politics of washington donald trump represents the politics were running against in a way that john mccain didn't. >> well, i want to play something that bill clinton did last night because he tried to draw attention to the fact that there are dark parts of trump's rhetoric. >> but to look beyond that and more look at his character and who he's going to fight for the other guy who's proved even more than the first go round that he's about me, myself, and what is her opponent do with his voice? he mostly talks about himself. so the next time you hear him, don't count the lies county is acts great line. >> yeah. there's a great line and it does go to a core thing that fabs mentioned before, which is he, donald trump is fundamentally self-interested and people know that. and the contrast between someone who's going to think and fight for people think about and fight for people every day, rather than thinking, how can i advantage this for myself? i th

ambassador to the u cindy mccainn -- u.n., cindy mccain. thank you for joining us.s been officially declared by the famine review committee, but sudan itself denies the existence of famine. can you tell us what you and your teams have seen? the conditions that people are existing in. cindy: we are seeing famine. we have seen it. the evidence is there and it is very clear. it especially struck the children in the area and the ones being affected mostly. this is a tragic situation because sudan will be the largest humanitarian crisis on the planet unless we can get moving on this. we need unfettered and clean access to be able to do it in a safe manner. caitriona: there are serious restrictions on your efforts to deliver food and other emergency supplies at the moment. what is that situation like? cindy: the two warring factions have made it very difficult for us to operate. some days, yes, you can go in and they will stop us, they will hold trucks for days, weeks, months at a time. it has gotten a little bit better, but it still is not enough. we need to be able to g

the staffers work for mccain, george w. bush, mitt romney, meaning the same people who were also once deemed a threat to democracy by the democrats. how quickly they forgets. so how is it that 238 a genuine conservatives are so offended that fleeing the g.o.p. to go to the most liberal presidential candidate of our lifetimes, a lady unburdened by the weight of brain cells, a woman so it left she's left reality, this is a crock-pot who bailed out of violent felons, want the tax money you have -- haven't made yet, while demanding you pay for inmate changes. if she got any crazier you get peter to an elephant. the answer is ever is a trump, it trumps everything. it's never a policy because they never mention it. instead they prattle on about nebulous fears, while catering to a party that imports killers and because apparently ours are not up to the job. and they rode a similar letter in 2020. so how that workout. great that's like being circumcised with a spark for the past four years. we could go through the list of disasters

wedding -- john mccain's funeral. so, it was a kind of extraordinary personal exchange in the oval office, and the family members were both overwhelmed, of course, by the events of the day and also standing there in the presence of the u.s. president at the resolute desk. so, it was quite a moment. reporter: and can you talk about how the administration tries to make sure this doesn't incentivize more arrests of innocent americans -- beyond what the president said, advising people not to go to abroad -- not to go abroad in certain places -- especially because you're looking at this inherent imbalance between releasing -- or between securing the release of innocent american exchange for rightfully convicted criminals, including a murderer? mr. sullivan: look, it's a fair question. it's a question that we grapple with every time that we look at the hard decisions involved in one of these exchanges. it is difficult to send back a convicted criminal to secure the release of an innocent american. and yet, sometimes the cho

john mccain is the one who immediately comes to mind we're frank saying they're being loose with talk on this type of stuff. >> does it it's bizarre. >> does it have any effect? >> it can certainly have an effect on a number of voting box, depending who he's directing the attack at and what the attack is. this is the time in the campaign we're carefulness is so important. i actually give kamala harris and her team big credit for really not putting getting her out there that much by not having her do interviews, by not having to sit downs or pressers because right now she's so nicely controlled as compared to where donald trump does these freewheeling pressers and to his credit, he's not afraid to take a question. he's not afraid to engage with a reporter or push back or talk about any number of topics but that carefulness with which the harris campaign is operating right now is why you're seeing that climb in the polls for her is because they're giving her a look and say, this is someone who is measured in her response. and that is the way we like to hear things right now. it's about

but this is the same guy who attacked john mccain. is if there is a pattern here at best, sloppy language when talking about the military, and it's going to hurt him even if at all it, but i mean, there were several other examples mean he questioned why nikki haley's husband wasn't by her side. he was deployed. but this is what really stuck out to me. the anecdote about what he did when a wounded veteran who sang god bless america near him. this was an account by people who were there, including mark milley the joint chiefs of staff at trump, walked over to congratulate it avila, but then said to milley within earshot of several witnesses, why do you bring people like that? here no one wants to see that the wounded and he never let avila appear in public again. that was according to the atlantic, who had that story relate to him. it's been confirmed by others as well. it's a pattern and it was disturbing what i mean like this is to your point. >> yes. he needs to come out and talk about what he meant or why he said what he said. i mea

i'm sorry the point think about john mccain. >> john mccain had allies who were othering brock obama. they were saying that brock obama was a secret muslim and john mccain actually faced a voter who said that an asked him about it. and instead of playing along he said, no, ma'am. now, some of the language he used gave the impression that being a muslim would be a problem. but the thrust of what he was saying was no, ma'am. barack obama is who he says he is. i don't think he should be president because i disagree with his policies. but let's not talk about his heritage right. >> contrast that with donald trump. >> for sure. >> tim naftali, i'm sorry, we're so short on time this morning. i hope you come back. i think this is going to be a conversation we're going to have a kind of ongoing for the next few months till november. thank you so much. i really appreciate it. >> thank you. kasie all right. >> time now for sports, erica, noah lyles stakes, his claim as the fastest man in the world with a thrilling photo finish in the hundred meter dash. amanda davis joins us now with more from

you can great, great clip i've never been prouder to be associated with john mccain in that moment and it really is a contrast between how, how radically the republican party has changed with trump and how he's transformed it and taking it backwards. i mean, the thing about mccain and george w bush and compassionate conservatism as it was a forward-leaning party that's looking to expand the republican tim trump is all about contracting and he's run into a demographic cul-de-sac but his message from the very beginning and making america great again, is about going back to the past and it's the first time in history where a republican president has picked that locke and where the american public is that i am afraid of the future. and let's go back to the old ways. and that's how trump is doubling down. he did in 2016. the question is right now, and that's why it's so interesting. again, it's harris because and how she's framing this election. and i love the freedom message in the future versus pass measures because she's saying, you know what, we're not going to go back again. we're goin

i remember was out there with barak obama when john mccain utter those words, the fundamentals of the economy are strong i mean that was, that was a big hit to the mccain camp, but that was all you could see. >> anyone who was looking at what was going on in the housing market could see that coming. that is this is not that. and so certainly everyone's keeping an eye on it, but right now, i don't think it makes it difficult for the vice president to make the argument. i think it makes it actually more real for her to make the argument that this is about middle-class families, low-income families, workers, and that there's frustrated, are they in the white house right now? now with the fed, with the fed chairman, i mean, i don't know, i haven't spoken to them, but but there's an argument to be made that this actually will push the fed to bring down interest rates it's which is my understanding is that this is a reaction to them not doing that. >> so if that happens, that will help americans across the board, you certainly want to, you don't want to do it prematurely. i would argue we'v

looking lovely this morning, we are going to get there we're seeing this more than 200 bush, mccain, romney alums are endorsing harris for president. we saw this happen with biden. there was about 150 and then you hear some of these things from the trump administration. those people who worked with him here's some of what is being set out there we don't take an oath to a king or queen or to a tyrant or a dictator. >> and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator we don't take an oath to an individual we take an oath to the constitution. >> i think he's unfit for office. look, it's he, he puts himself before country. his actions are all about him and not about not about the country. >> i think he's dangerous enough. he shouldn't get a second term matt, do you think that this kind of thing with a 200 republicans coming out and saying they're endorsing harris and hearing from his former administration officials will entice more republicans to vote for harris you know, i actually don't. >> and look, i saw that list. >> i mean, some of them are great people, friends whom i really respec

american green card, a pulitzer prize-winning journalist and a paul barrow -- pallbearer at john mccain funeral. he was convicted of treason. now their brutal ordeal is over and they are free. moments ago families and i were able to speak to them on the telephone from the oval office. they are out of russia. earlier today they were flown to turkey. soon, they will be on the way home to see their families. it is an incredible relief for all family members gathered here. it is a relief to friends and colleagues across the country that have been praying for this day for a long time. the deal that made this possible was a feat of diplomacy and friendship. friendship. multiple countries helped to get this done. they joined a difficult, complex negotiation at my request. and i personally thank them all again. i thank them personally and i thank them again. all told, russia released 16 prisoners, eight russians that were being held in the west will be sent home as well put the 16 prisoners from russia include four americans, five germans, seven russian citizens that were political prisoners in

i worked for him as an intern when i was in law school when he was congressman john mccain.with senator mccain as well. so it is painful to see the -- the way that he's treated by the republican party now. it is shameful. and that is part of what motivates me to -- to speak up. i'm a -- i generally try to avoid partisan fights. it is not necessarily productive to my goal of being a good mayor but occasionally you have to wade into the waters and denending the good name of john mccain is a cause that i'm anxious to be involved in. >> you didn't even stop for the applause, it just erupted. i want to ask you what conversations you're having, not in front of thousands of thousands of people, but what are your private persuasion messages to republicans? >> well there has been a lot of them. way stopped yesterday in the gym by a couple of young man that had concerns. they were watching a lot of fox news and they were telling me that they could never afford to buy a house now and what am i thinking. why i am becoming a democrat. and there is -- -- multiply that by thousands. all ov

of generational change. but it was a bad choice, according to the analyst republican senator john mccain's decision to appoint governor sarah palin as his running mate in 2008. she became a figure that was cheered on the campaign trail, and i think ultimately hurt mccain's candidacy, even though it wasn't the cause of the senator's loss. democrat kamala harris' campaign is now making a bet. supporting families in his case is not about control over reproductive rights, but economic support for families, education, health care, housing, job creation. instead, jdv will help advance the republican narrative, says analyst peter lodge. which they 're promoting is this: you know, there used to be an america where if you worked hard, played by the rules, as a hard-working , middle-class family, you could succeed, and that that america is gone now, and if you vote for them, and america will come back. even if vice presidential candidates rarely influence the outcome of an election, the american voter will surely pay attention to how well the chosen vice presidents listen to the electorate. and conv
