john mccain knew your first name when you walked by. that took a lot that he took the time to learn and know people's names. being here, this was moving. i had the privilege like so many of you to wear the uniform. we had another event. usually i'm super punctual. being an nco and schoolteacher, we are not late for things. but i'm a little bit out of my control. i travel with a little bigger entourage. we walked in, these guys did not get to meet. as usual doing the work, there's the marines and here comes the army. we get that. but like so many of you, you you think back to why you did this. when you are young, it is your parents. my dad was a korean war veteran. two days after i turned 17 he took me down to join the national guard. people said how did that discussion go? that's how that discussion went. had the privilege to serve regard 24 years. couple stints as a full-time technician. proud to do active service with the state on things like flood recovery. then a deployment in 2004 in support of enduring freedom with my unit across

senate candidate are presented of ruben gallego and jim mccain, son of late senator john mccain, joined governor walz for the 30 minute event. >> after having graduated from mayor united states air force academy. there are a couple, two or three of his mentors. thank you to all of your valuable influence. my youngest son has also chosen to serve by battling the mental health crisis that exists in our country. i understand service, i think we worked really hard to work out the core value. all of us here in this room i would like to believe understand the concept of service before self. we are also quickly approaching election day. happy to see that coming soon. we have very important choices to make that will impact every one of us in this space. we also know, thanks to people like vice president harris, governor tim walz, we have examples of servant leaders who understand the need for a commander in chief who is steady, strong, who is ready and committed to ensure that our nation's interests are first. they are committed to ensuring every service member, every veteran like the ones here

one of john mccain's sons has come out and endorsed harris. i basely john mccain's wife serves under the biden administration, so both of them have voiced their support for the harris campaign. host: thom reilly joining us from arizona state university for this discussion. this is barry up next. in new jersey, a supporter of the harris-walz ticket. ahead. caller: thank you, c-span. these border states, what concerns me is that the amount of legislation that has been brought to the floor of the house that has not been acted on. in 2013 the senate approved a border bill that was approved 68-32 in the senate. they delivered it to john boehner, and john boehner refused to bring it to the floor. again, in february 2024 the senate put together a bill to fund, correcting the border issues, but donald trump again said that the republicans want to maintain this as an issue for the election. in the most recent border bill that was approved they had a provision for these fentanyl sensors. apparently these sensors are sitting in a warehouse someplace but

but that is certainly not the reason senator mccain loss. he entered a construct in which there were grave economic problems and people were unhappy with the war in iraq and inherited a lot of baggage from the bush administration. i think going into the race he was the underdog and that part accounted for his decision to choose governor palin as his running mate rather than somebody like senator joe lieberman who i think was his preferred choice but he concluded that ticket would not win against senator obama and senator biden. host: coming back to the present day, how do you think that the two current vice presidential candidates are impacting their tickets? guest: i think they are playing different roles consistent with the reason for their selection. senator vance who was chosen first i think was chosen largely as an effort by former president trump to double down on energizing the base of the republican party and supporters and to emphasize the policies and approach that he himself had taken. senator van of those who he was considering w

. >> being here in tucson, i'm thinking about my friend john mccain. >> god bless john mccain!to romanticize our relationship, you know, john was conservative to put it mildly. ran against me in 2008. talked about him on the campaign trail. but you know what, he understood that some values transcend politics. he believed in hearing the views by the people. he didn't demonize his political opponents. think about this election, it's so different from what we see right now out of the republican nominee. and increasingly the entire party. it's just decided it's okay. and one of the most disturbing things about this election and donald trump's lies in politics is how we seem to have set aside the value that people like a john mccain stood for. that is what we were taught. >> barack obama has a number of rallies scheduled for the next two weeks. >>> next up here, we'll turn to sports, with highlights from the nfl games over the weekend. and a historic ending to wnba finals. >>> and, of course, the world series matchup is set. we'll show you how the los angeles dodgers punched their t

and it is deeply harming to hear the attacks on the mccains. it thrills me to see people who will stand up to donald trump and his supporters and say, no, that is a bridge too far. you have gone too far. as a democrat, i saw a lot of love and respect for those people and i am not able to do that now with the current party. >> coming from a liberal standpoint, i think a part of the concern is existential. i can sit all day long and have disagreements over physical policy, over the fine points of immigration policy, how we deal with border security. there are things we can talk about and talk about civilly. i think when we start getting into conversations that deal with oppressing particular populations, resending it right , trying to remove the very existence of some people from our conversations, to our history books, to our laws. if you are coming down on the side of doing things that are inhumane, i think the conversation needs to stop there and at that point, as much as i dislike the polarization, i think it is very difficult to engage with

lost it at the supreme court and he would've repealed the ac had it not been for the courage of john mccain to save that bill. fast forward, what that means to you is you lose your pre-existing conditions. if you are at home when you have asthma, too bad.

from all of their assaults, and john mccain was the vote heard round the world with it., obamacare sucks. forgive my french. i'm quoting a person who wants to be the president. obamacare sucks. it doesn't suck pedicures. if he were to prevail, it would be 45 million people would lose their health care. over 100 million people in the country have a pre-existing medical condition. it's over for them. >> let me ask you. you brought this point of earlier people who say i don't like what he says but i like his policies. i ask you, when they tell you that, what are the policies? besides tax cuts for corporations and blanket deregulation, what do you think it is that have so many people willing to vote for him? >> it depends on who you are talking about. the billionaire class, they don't want to pay their fair share of taxes. they don't want protections -- >> that is not donald trump space. >> i understand that. it's his funding but is not that many people but it's his funding. he is -- you have to give them credit for being a snake oil sales man. he's a con man. there is hardl

i've been wondering about this since he attacks john mccain.ou attack john mccain for being shot down over vietnam, saying that he wasn't a hero for being shot down, i figured that republican voters, especially but all voters would be like, okay, you can leave now. that's not the appropriate thing to say. but for whatever reason, he gets away with saying things that other people simply can't. it wouldn't surprise me at all if a democratic politician who said the same thing, not that anyone has, was thrown out of the party and lost all their popularity. i think there's kind of rules that apply to donald trump that don't apply to anyone else. i think his supporters -- i can't explain it. maybe they enjoy the idea that he is saying something so offensive and so un-pc. on the iraq question, it's interesting. that comes and goes. the parties -- all political parties in american history have gone through periods of isolationism and interventionism. trump found a line on iraq and to some degree afghanistan that really showed the party is no longer the

thanks to john mccain, he didn't do it. and now, eight years after he was elected, after all the arguments against obamacare have been proven to be wrong, and even folks who don't like me sure like that insurance, when he was asked about it, he said, well, i have a concept of a plan for how i might replace it. now, i want you to think about that. let's say your boss gives you an assignment, says she needs it by friday. friday rolls around. your boss says, so, did you finish that project i asked for? well, i haven't actually started but i do have a concept of a plan. students here at arizona, you could try it with your professors. paper's due. and you just write on a sheet of paper, concept of a plan. you could try it at home. honey, did you do the dishes? i have a concept of a plan to do the dishes. haven't done them yet. how is that going to go over? if it wouldn't work for you, why should it work for the president of the united states? but the good news is, kamala harris does not have concepts of a plan. she has an actual

this is not like running against george bush and john mccain or bob dole or mitt romney. -- that's really democracy, where you have your ideas, you compete, and one party or the other wins. this is about saving our democracy. but more importantly, about the kitchen table issues of the american people. what's his name is putting out there is ridiculous and what gets me is that people say, well i don't like what he says and i don't like how he says this or that, but i liked his policy. >> what policy? >> what policy? the only thing he did when he was president with a republican congress was to pass a tax bill that gave 83% of the benefits to the top 1%, corporations and individuals, the top 1%, adding $2 trillion to the national debt $.2 trillion to the national debt. they are so fiscally responsible. no, we are the ones. when joe biden came in, what did he do under his leadership? 16 million jobs created. the other guy, the worst job creation record of anybody since herbert hoover. >> when you talk about kitchen table issues, healthcare is clearly one. the affordable care

. >> seth: trump came within one vote of succeeding until john mccain's infamous thumbs down.at vividly, because i was up at 1:30 in the morning watching it live on [ bleep ] c-span with the rest of the country, nervously pacing my apartment and chain smoking parliaments until i realized emphysema wouldn't be covered if trump repealed obamacare. [ laughter ] by the way, in case you've never watched c-span that late at night, highly recommend. they have a raunchy "after dark" segment where senators conduct hearings in the nude. it's called "banging the gavel." [ laughter ] [ audience ohs ] sounds like you may not be into it. that's cool. that's cool. i get it. not only did trump repeatedly promise to kill obamacare and come within one vote of doing it, but then he complained afterwards that he would have succeeded if it hadn't been for john mccain. >> you know, john mccain came in and he went thumbs down at 3:00 in the morning. [ booing ] and everybody -- that was, like, really a horrible thing. honestly, that was a horrible, horrible thing that happened to the republican party

when mccain lost they said, they didn't let mccain be mccain.n romney lost, this documentary came out and he was strong and this and that. oh, if that's side -- if we knew that side on the campaign trail, he might have won. she comes across as varicose veins handled and said i'm very disciplined. being discipline second-degree a very good trait but at times can prevent people from feeling like they know you and where you want to take this country and there's so much fuzziness on this and it's not clear and what direction she doesn't want it to go in but where she wants it to take us, i think, it maybe still unclear for voters. stuart: she was asked what would you do differently had you been president? she said there's not a thing i can think of at this time. that's not comforting. >> she should have had a very solid answer for that. here's what i would do differently. she keeps saying i'm not joe biden but then doesn't say why. i look forward to bret baier's interview tonight because we all know bret and he's as straightforward as they come and

cheap sorb bullies or shows disregard for the constitution, when he calls servicemembers like john mccain losers because they died in battle or were captured. when he calls citizens vermin or the enemy within. 's people make excuses. they think it is okay. so long as their side wins. i have to say, i have noticed this especially with some men that think trumps behavior, bullying and putting people down and act thing pretend tough guy that somehow it is a sign of strength. i am here to tell you that is not what strength is and it never has been. real strength is about working hard and carrying a heavy load without complaining. real strength is about taking responsibility for actions and telling the truth, even when it is inconvenient. real strength is about helping people that need it and standing up for those that can't stand up for themselves.. is what we should want for our daughters and our sons. that is what i want to see in the president of the united states of america. the good news, you have a candidate or candidates to vote for in the selection who demonstrate character and no wha

john mccain was my friend. i was the best man at his wedding. i traveled the world with him. i was an honorary pallbearer at his funeral. and yet from the very get-go, before the question of whether john mccain was going to support the health plan, the revocation of the obama plan, donald trump was saying that john mccain was no hero. so he has evidenced disregard for the military all of the time that he was in office and while he was running for office. there should be no question about the truth or lack of truth with respect to john kelly. john kelly's not only a four-star marine, he's a gold star father. he has flesh and blood that he has lost, like so many thousands of mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers who have seen their flesh and blood die on behalf of the united states of america. not to any given president but to the constitution. and you and i grew up, i believe at least in the good old days, pledging allegiance to the flag of the united states and to the republic for which it stands. never to a president. so we know what the former president has said, and

cindy mccain is the executive director of the un�*s cindy mccain is the executive director of the un�programme. she gave this reaction to israel's decision to stop unrwa working in the country. well, i'm hoping that better heads prevail. we need unrwa. unrwa on the ground is absolutely vital to what we do. logistically, we handle logistics. they do the work on the ground there. we don't have the ground there. we don't have the contacts, we don't have the ability to get to know the contacts because things are so intensely difficult there. i know they said they could stay in the west bank, but the problem is that they can't cross any lines to get into the west bank to work. i'm hoping, like i said, that better heads, the west bank to work. i'm hoping, like i said, that better heads, various governments can intercede on behalf of of humanitarian aid workers in the region to be able to get us in, let us work. we have also been hearing from various ambassadors. the us ambassador to the united nations, linda thomas—greenfield, has been speaking at the un security council discussing the situ

i walked her over and i said i want you to meet my buddy john mccain. and he married her. [applause] john and i were like brothers. we argued like hell. we shouted at each other. then we would sit down and have dinner together. we disagreed. but john was a patriot. there are a lot of good republicans out there but these guys are not that breed of cat. they are a different group. i was not going to run as i said for president again. i mean that sincerely. my son bo who was the attorney general of the state of delaware. one day i came home. he said -- he goes i could not afford daycare i cannot afford house care. my mom and the whole family is helping take care of my kids. my wife and daughter were killed. i commuted for 36 years on the train. i got off the train. my son said to me dad, what are you doing on friday? this was on the previous sunday. . i said, what do you mean. i want you to pin my bars on. he said i joined the national guard. i said you are married. you have two kids. somebody has got to do this. he got sent to iraq for a year. you either -- you are either st

donald trump to kind of give people a sense of what the trump strategy, as you can see there, john mccain, this is obviously the popular vote, 60 million votes, mitt romney, 61, donald trump, 63, donald trump, who lost in 2020 20 it's 74 million votes. and dave weigel, i want to read what attacks from our friend and colleague david chalian to me this morning, who i thought said it so brilliantly they mined more ground of trump aligned areas and struck more oil. and they believe that there is more of that oil to strike, meaning there are more people who haven't voted. it's not just about pulling over. swing voters or democratic voters as people who haven't voted and that is a big, big part of what they're trying to do. >> oh, that's been their theory for months. that's explains his media strategy, which even as they were goading the vice president to do more traditional media, they were doing a lot of friendly media that reaches up podiums. they don't trust them in the msm. joe rogan, listeners, et cetera, et cetera, not reagan himself. the podcast's in that lane and also non-white voters,

but in the vein of john mccain, jeff flake, we understand we each have a compromised to get this done. and that's what we saw in that bill, that it wasn't perfect, but we need to get something done and not let politics get in the way. that's what it was like politicians like kari lake said absolutely not. it's not because anything wasn't a good enough solution or they thought there's more coming later, it's because they needed border prop. but they needed for political reasons. yet our border communities are still hurting every day. >> we had jeff flake on earlier in the show, we have john giles yesterday from asap. you got a permission structure in the state for republicans to vote for democrats, and they are actually quite enthusiastic. if you got an issue for democrats were unenthusiastic? there are people who prefer kamala harris and tim walz, but they are thinking they might just not vote this time around. >> i would say there has been a marked difference since vice president harris got into this race. we do see a lot more excitement. i see it at the doors, people in our offices

i was there in the senate chamber when john mccain walked in and gave the thumbs down. i know what donald trump tried to do to the aca. any idea he would try to pretend that somehow he was protect winged, one thing that struck me about the debate, but most americans don't see the vice president as the policymaker, and i don't remember during the debate that they talked about the pence administration. i don't think they believe the vice president has the power to pass legislation and implement policy unless she is working on behalf of the president she's serving. so, i think that's one of the reasons probably the debate polling is so close. in the long run even though vance was a really good liar and even though he tried to be really nice, i think it's probably a wash. >> reporter: i spoke with jason miller after the debates, and i brought up the january 6th exchange at the end the debate, and i said is that a problem for your campaign? he said if that's all democrats have then i'm not worried. what do you think? >> i think they should be worried. i think it was so stark

remember when he talked about john mccain not being a war hero, also that he believed u.s. generals were his generals. so what does it tell us about the campaign that they're flatly denying absolutely all of this in. >> i think we could actually be clear here, katey. it's not so much denying anything specifically. it's just sort of painting a broad brush stroke that doesn't deny the leadership or style or characteristics that are being ascribed to donald trump by john kelly and by the likes of james mattis and mark milly. and that's where you see donald trump just two weeks out now from election day trying to use these individuals but also political enemies, perceived political enemies like liz cheney to suggest it was actually them who were standing in the way of a more fruitful and efficient washington. and if it hadn't been for them, not only would his first administration have been more successful, but a successful administration that is unencumbered by individuals like john kelly or james mattis or even a mike pence would be even a more successful washington under dona

i remember that senator mccain released his records, right? years of records yes. is this more common what you'd expect from a nominee? >> this is more common in this i've been doing this for a long time. i was there when senator mccain released all those records, thousands of pages of records and, you know, wait a significant history. he had a cancer history. he had been a prisoner of war, as you know, in vietnam so there was all this stuff that was interesting and relevant. i think okay. for medical reporters this is pretty standard, i think as medical reporters, we always want more. was there any pertinent surgical history, for example? any other medications? but they give her numbers here. they do talk about our medications. and as i point out, a lot of times, these medical records, you can cut to the chase by saying, hey, look, we've ruled these things out diabetes, neurological disorders, cardiac disease. >> so it's pretty standard. >> victor also are letter released on behalf of former president trump. but how do these letters compare? >> well, it's interest

with trump the other day, he was saying that he saved the aca, obamacare in it was clearly john mccaint, everybody has seen it and yet they proceed to tell those same

have gotten there if it was not for john mccain? >> jd vance said well, he strengthened and saved obama care. >> no one knows how to cover it. are you effing kidding me. they should of dropped the f- bomb, right? this is a debate. the only chance people have to see the difference. instead, i will go back to my toothpicks, he just put one toothpick on y top of the other and i am for this and i am so sorry those women died, they died because of donald trump, one seman had a test for people he put on the screen. not one, not two, but three on. they would over turn roe. that is why amber thurman died and that little boy does not have a mom. you did not get the contrast neither did you get wake up and smell the smelling salts. lulled into normalcy. >> let me ask you about one other subject matter and how it went. on, gun violence and schools, they both said the same thing about how it is very sad and breaks syour heart. then, what j.d. vance said was, listen, i think the reason we have gun violence in schools, paraphrasing, is because of

john mccain is someone that i greatly admire. and john mccain called me hours before he went down and gave the big thumbs down to protect the affordable care act. you know, sometimes one person can make a difference. and i'm not going there to be, you know, one of 100 people and just arguing all day and getting nothing done. i'm a guy who likes to get things done. i'm only running because i think i can be the key voice in the middle to try to accomplish bipartisan common sense solutions. - will you buck the republican party majority? - i think nobody has any doubts that i will stand up to, i've proven over and over again that i had the courage to stand up to the former president and to my party, you know, numerous times when i think they're wrong. i'm going to work together, whoever is elected president, whoever's in the majority in the congress. i'm going to work with people when i think they're right, and i'm going to stand up to them when i think they're wrong. and that's what i've done in my entire career. - you've said that

ruben guy yago and john mccain's son joined. >> i'm very proud of my husband's 32-year career. he is here with me. he served in the air force. don't held it against him. we raised our son who is beginning his career after having graduated from your united states air force academy. there are two or three of his mentors in the audience. my youngest son has chosen to serve by battling the mental health crisis. i think we worked hard to live out this core value of service before self. all of us here in this room i would like to believe understand this concept of service before self and aware quickly -- we are quickly approaching election day and we have very important choices that will impact every one of us. we also know changes to people like development kamala harris an tim walz we have else we know we need a commander in chief who is strong. they are committed to ensuring every service member and veteran and military family gets the respect an support we have all earned. they know or nation is at its best when we stand up for people who have given so much for us. that is why to

. >> you served with the late senator john mccain.ean, do you believe john kelly >> i mean, i know john slightly and i knew i knew john mccain it fairly well. and john and i disagreed about everything but we were friends actually, and i would like them very much an honest straightforward guy who obviously served his country heroically, was a prisoner of war and deserves our deepest respect. and he is somebody who was disrespected by trump, i suspect because he cast became cast the deciding vote to protect the affordable care act but i think in trump, you have somebody who is power hungry who has very, very strong or authoritarian tendencies, who does not believe in democracy. and no matter what your views are, i don't care if you're a conservative progressive or whatever you may be this is not a guy. we should be supporting to be president of the united states what do you think vice president harris needs to do in this next 13 14 day period, writers is reporting that the harris campaign is in talks with the joe rogan podcast. >> you i
