but john mccain disagreed with you. mccain feingold was the law that passed. you fought at the supreme court. you lost. that was a pretty acrimonious battle. what's your relationship with john mccain today? very close. i mean, that's a good example of being to have, you know, a knockdown, drag out fight over issues that went over about ten years. it was really pretty stressful between us at various points, but, you know, i've called him up the day after he won in the supreme court. actually, one of the worst days of my life actually was watching a republican house or republican senate and a republican president pass a bill that i was opposed to. and i deeply opposed to. and i was the plain open lost in the supreme court, called him up the day after and i said, congratulations, john. you won. i lost. and we found that there were a lot of other things we could work on together and we've become fast friends and allies on a whole variety of different things. and that's the way the senate ought to work. and frequently does. i'm not sure many people in the public kn

happened without public outcry over the early months of 2017 so i have seen mobilization. >> mccain had no love for trump. you have a few other characters like mitch mcconnell, it's like you know you're in your last two years and you want to make a point so we will see if mitch mcconnell comes through, susan collins, lisa murkowski, moderates. all right. we have to get back to the battleground. that's how you win things. >> it is, it is all about pennsylvania as well as michigan, wisconsin, the sun belt battle further in margin. i believe the shortest path for democrats was through northern states, i cannot stand the term rust belt. that's my own quirk. in my view the shortest path to the white house would be pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin. it was a one or one and a half point race. in 2026 because of the nature of elections i'm confident democrats will win the house and the senate is more difficult but in 2028 this is early but like 2016 or 2020, 2024, i would be surprised if it were not a 50-50 race. host: john fetterman had some thoughts. he got a democratic governor, senator

caller: john mccain in early 2000, he turned against me for that. what should happen to ukraine? the russian people, etc., etc. yeah. [indiscernible] the russian ukrainians should move to eastern ukraine. host: let's hear from more from secretary hegseth yesterday. [video] >> safeguarding european security must be an imperative for european members of nato. as part of this europe must provide the overwhelming share of future lethal and nonlethal aid to ukraine. members of this contact group must meet the moment. this means donating more ammunition and equipment, leveraging comparative advantages, expanding your defense industrial base, and importantly, leveling with your citizens about the threat facing europe. part of this is speaking frankly with your people about how the threat can only be met by spending more on defense. 2% is not enough. president trump has called for 5%. i agree. increasing your commitment to your own security is a down payment for the future. a down payment, as you said, mr. secretary, of peace through strength. we are here today to directly and on a big u

caller: john mccain in early 2000, he turned against me for that. what should happen to ukraine? the russian people, etc., etc. yeah. [indiscernible] the russian ukrainians should move to eastern ukraine. host: let's hear from more from secretary hegseth yesterday. [video] >> safeguarding european security must be an imperative for european members of nato. as part of this europe must provide the overwhelming share of future lethal and nonlethal aid to ukraine. members of this contact group must meet the moment. this means donating more ammunition and equipment, leveraging comparative advantages, expanding your defense industrial base, and importantly, leveling with your citizens about the threat facing europe. part of this is speaking frankly with your people about how the threat can only be met by spending more on defense. 2% is not enough. president trump has called for 5%. i agree. increasing your commitment to your own security is a down payment for the future. a down payment, as you said, mr. secretary, of peace through strength. we are here today to directly and on a big u

john mccain was not the cool kid, god bless him, right? mitt romney was not seen as the cool kid. even the obama bros, that was a thing. what the hell happened? how did trump become the cool kid? >> harris had a chance here. i mean, there was a month-long period, made even longer, she was up in some of these polls. i know the campaign has gone and done their media tour and talked about how, you know, she was always kind of trying to come back up. i mean, she had leads there. she had leads in some of these states. the decision she made not to give these younger voters, these voters who were looking for something, any kind of daylight between her and biden i think was just crushing for her. the fact that she was not able to break away on any of these key issues, even if it wasn't a significant break, even if it was a rhetorical break, she just was unwilling to do that. and i think a lot of these voters saw that. they were just dispirited by it. i mean, you saw the dropoff in the activity online from the height of the brat summer to where the campaign ended up. they gave her a chance

i think mccain even had something to do with it. it was investigated.hat was all false information. is that not correct? host: go ahead with your comment. caller: well, you won't even agree to that? you correct republicans all the time. host: sandy in orlando, florida. democrat. caller: hi. my dad was in world war ii. his brother was with patton going through. he helped to go into the camps and free some of the people that were -- the jewish prisoners. we all know trump is a draft dodger. he doesn't know anything about war. he did not want to go to work. he gave up -- to war. he coordinated an agreement with the taliban in afghanistan. what happened there? the other thing that bothers me is who is talking about the 10,000 kids that supposedly putin and russia took from ukraine? trump doesn't care about kids. why doesn't he make that part of the deal, they get the 10,000 kids back? he won't even know how to do that because they will not have a way of tracing that. he doesn't care about kids. he doesn't care about the war. he wants to build some kind of h

is this john mccain 2.0, by any chance? >> lesley: yeah, sort of. he is not an maga republican. ronald reagan republican. he supports alliances, he likes nato, he is for more defense spending, he doesn't like america first isolationism. on the cabinet choices on that side, because he cares so much about foreign policy and domestic policy, he wouldn't give an inch. he wouldn't tell us how he was voting. >> john: he wouldn't -- even on robert f. kennedy jr.? >> lesley: ah, well, the strongest signal was on him, because mcconnell had polio when he was a child. the vaccine is something he cares deeply about, passionately about, all vaccines. they are good for american health, and he said so, so that is a signal. >> maurice: but he played his cards close to the vest? >> lesley: always. >> john: mitch mcconnell doesn't talk much, but he did to you. we're looking forward to it, thanks, lesley stahl. >> maurice: still ahead on the friday "cbs evening news," lonnie quinn with the weather. >> john: and we will have these stories, as well. >> i'm margaret brennan in washington. we will tak

remember russell gate, while according to former us official mike bens john mccain's original source for the christopher steel dos documents was a guy named david kramer, is a former employee of the state department who made regular appearances at events organized by that usa. i. d funded ukraine crisis media center after the euro. my don qu, in 2014. and so it's a very humbling experience for me to be back here. and to see this 1st hand freedom house has been very dedicated to providing support to ukraine. the kremlin propaganda is trying to paint everything that happened in ukraine is being caused by fascist, in extremis. before you are on my don kramer worked at another state department funded and g o called freedom house, which russia has specifically flagged as a vehicle of american foreign policy interest. as far back as 2004 and 2 main stream politicians were raising their eyebrows at freedom house and just how much money was going to ukraine through the organization. how did this one sided us funding and ukraine come about? while i'm afraid we may have seen only the tip of th

. >> john mccain. >> no, he's. >> no john mccain. >> he can't. >> give. >> up every. >> fight and just assume that they're always going to fall. i mean, every fight they got to fight for every inch, and now they've got to do the same with gabbard. and they got to do the same with kennedy. yeah, and that's going to be the new norm. >> i'm just saying. >> forgive me for. >> being cynical about mitch mcconnell. >> oh, i'm cynical. >> about it. >> yes, ma'am. >> cfpb consumer financial protection bureau, the agency that was created to protect people from predatory lending. when you think about the payday lenders, when you think about all the people who are taking advantage. of leading up to the housing crisis, the idea was, let's create. this to make. >> sure this. >> doesn't happen. >> to people. >> what do we hear today? >> elon musk. >> over twitter, r.i.p, cfpb and. >> then within hours. >> the main page of the website appears to be down tonight. now, if you want to argue that. >> agency wasn't. >> functioning well, it was redundant. >> we want. >> to. >> take the efforts. >> they were

in the next round events as we'll take it to one lead into the 2nd leg of that tie with se weston mccain. mckinney's freight strike put these highly insight in funds in the 1st health adult senior level 10 minutes off to the break even pedestal. with his 1st champions, the goal is to 2020 to make it one o 6 because the game heading for dual health time, substitute some well and bun beula, then one it since you've a late on the law says run is optim literacy. adult man's are in the driving seat to that tight with supposing less than the middle seat or a grassy with a put don't. went ahead with his 10 sco and receiving's competition striking. then 10 providers instead of pass code goes for adult. in the 2nd genocide went on to when 3 males, tobacco sick tree under new types, and because as for the portuguese opponents, that's now 5 cham pc matches. now to in this for my tax, reuben, i'm room less for united all the more games coming up on wednesday. and now the german club bind munich faces celtic. the 6 time you're paying champions, looking to take a step closer to the final, which takes

so mccain has moved from button. the migration is being a key theme in this campaign. it was a key theme in this debate with both men attacking each other's policies, brought the child so specifically going off his rival full. the chancellor ship highlighting the changes in his policy. he says that mounts has put into effect in recent weeks in recent months, specifically highlighting the decision environments, the amounts to try to push a law through parliament using the votes of the far right, a f d. a plan, a ploy with mr. mounts had previously said he would never do. that was something that the shots, the really try to pull him up on this is what do you have to say if that, that, that's good enough to know he's done that and accepted it. and i said again, achieved nothing. it's the breaking of a promise of the breaking of a tab for his apartments. the mouse rejected. that actually said there was no question of him relying on or using i have 2 votes in parliament. that would be no coalition with that far right to policy as far as he was concerned. but he said that ma

many very stinking and humiliating defeats during donald trump's 1st term, the thumbs down by john mccain on the attempt to repeal the affordable care act. donald trump having to pull back from a comprehensive immigration reform because even many republicans balked at that. the government shut down over the christmas holiday. and so what donald trump is doing this term is she's actually trying to stay away from congress. and he recognizes through executive orders, he can still continue to give this r a or a strong man, someone who is in charge and who can get things done. the problem with that is we are saying many of those judges network inputs that were, that got that got through during defined administration are now beginning to actually push back and push back hard on many of donald trump's policies. in fact, there was one judge who actually looked at donald trump's birthright citizenship, executive order and say, he couldn't believe that an actual lawyer had actually presented that as an order. and so i think we're again, what we're seeing here is while many cannot cover all of what

well, according to former us official mike then john mccain's original source for the christopher steel dos documents was a guy named david kramer. he's a former employee of the state department who made regular appearances at events organized by that usa. i. d funded ukraine crisis media center after the euro. my don qu in 2014. this is my 1st return to ukraine and to be yours. sorry to say i have not been back sooner. and it's my 1st time to see outside here of the hotel. still the, the impressive remains of the protests and the symbols of the sacrifices as so many people made for a better ukraine. and so it's a very humbling experience for me to be back here and to see this 1st hand freedom house has been very dictated to providing support to ukraine in areas of anti corruption, as well as press freedom. and we do programming here working with journalists, working with civil society that we think is very important to the future of your country. we also have taken a very strong position in support of ukraine by calling for tougher sanctions against the prudent regime. and also for pro

still mccain reports from bill and reaction from european governments to the suggestion from the trunk. the white house has been relatively solidly come. the nature of this suggestion, the german foreign minister analynn a bell book saying that causes must not be expelled from gaza. is that it is important to remember that gaza is key to a palestinian state. there should be no permanent occupation or forcing out of people from garza then from the french government, from the spanish government. very similar sentiments. the spanish foreign minister sang gaza is a place for gauze and palestinians, and is fundamental to a palestinian state as part of a 2 state solution, but can, is the only way to guarantee prosperity and security for israel. the french government also putting up pretty similar sentiments, saying that the full civil expulsion of people from casa, was not going to be helpful towards the 2 state solution. even in london. there was a degree of nuance from some of the british prime minister who was off the direct question about the plan. but he said the causes must be allowed

and ronald reagan's when it comes to russia. >> yeah, this is. >> to mccain said.d when i saw that richard burr was endorsing tulsi gabbard. richard burr has, you know, long experience in the intelligence community and oversight in congress. but i know that the russians have been rejoicing what they see happening to the federal government right now can only play to their interests in terms of the dismantling, the chaos, the disarray that is taking place, the firing of individuals across the board, the fbi agents who are engaged in the counterintelligence investigations in this country to uncover and to thwart the efforts by the russians, the chinese and other adversaries here in the country. so, again, this is just, you know, one more indication that donald trump is interested in only having individuals within his cabinet and at the helm of these departments who will do everything he says. and the fact that elon musk is driving a lot of this, you know, quite frankly, i believe that elon musk is probably chortling behind trump's back about how quickly and comprehens

leaders like justice sandra day o'connor, governor raul castro, senator john mccain who guided our state and nation. there spirit carries on today. it continues with arizonans like a member of the tribal council. when devastating floods swept through the village last summer and collapsed the surrounding trails, felicia guided more than 100 tourists to a nearby elementary school for shelter. throughout the night, she fielded calls from first responders about people stuck on trails and families looking for loved ones, communicating names and locations to the tribe rangers. her service and heroism show how even in our most devastating moments, arizonans are there to offer hope and a helping hand. felicia, please stand so we can thank you for your bravery and kindness. [applause] thank you. resilient individuals like these and millions of other good hard-working people built our beloved arizona. a special place that values opportunity and freedom. a place where entrepreneurs, mom and pop businesses, farmers and international companies launched their next big idea or provide critical services

this is not the party of reagan romney or mccain. the working class has shifted towards trump.t to get the working class back we have to address the issues they care about. >> we just heard ken martin and the acceptance victory speech. martin was saying we will fight for working class americans. that is what was missing in the last election, jesse. not only was the messaging missing, donald trump is a mcdonald's, donald trump is in the dump truck. those are working-class americans. >> declaring that the party is not affected, clearly there is a problem. it is a messaging problem for them. dnc chair will be leading the party building apparatus and trying to reinvigorate some of the basic grassroots. their biggest challenge is a messaging problem. part of the issue they will have is they are trying to massage what they want to stand for from an economic perspective. working-class voters are not necessarily interested in listening to that if they cannot get past the cultural message. democrats have yet to confront that problem. >> you have prompted me and i apologize in advance to

that's what this is about in the end and as my friend and dick blumenthal's friend, john mccain said, nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for our cause larger than yourself. >> all right. >> standing up for our veterans and our employees that work with our veterans, that's the cause worth fighting. that's the cause larger than ourselves, thank you. with that, okay. go ahead, dick. >> thanks, amy. >> we are really proud to have with us congressman delia ramirez, thank you for coming. >> thank you. thank you. >> thank you, senator. >> the hypocrisy, you know, i get to serve in the veteran affairs committee and i'm the top democrat on oversight and investigations and let me tell you, we have a lot of work to do. >> that's right. we have a lot of oversight to do and we have a lot to investigate because the reality is that this administration which by the way has been in power for 24 days but i promise you i have at least 24 gray hairs, it has felt like pain and feels the same way for all of you, the uncertainty, the fear, this is the administration that takes about accountabi

evelyn farkas is the executive director of the mccain institute.ing the obama administration she served as deputy assistance secretary of defense for eur-asia. and a political science professor at the university of chicago has written extensively about u.s. national security. thanks for joining us. evelyn, start us off. i want to get your reaction peer to the secretary of defense's remarks, particular the reversal of u.s. policy saying the u.s. does not believe that nato membership for ukraine is realistic or a return to the pre-2014 borders. what do you make of that and who does that benefit? >> first of all, it's technically not really - -tac tically not really something that helps the president in terms of meeting his objective. by telegraphing our position is closer to the russian position, we are reducing our leverage on russia. and at the end of the day, everyone knows if we want this war to end the one person who can end the war overnight is vladimir putin. ukrainians do not want to fight but they have to fight because they are fighting for

that and finally the conclusion we came to the needed people like for me, and ronald reagan or john mccain, who showed me real respect for others. we do not have that today and politicians are not showing to each other. so who will lead young people to be in the right position civility, respect and dealing with issues and respectful way we find common ground so that it can actually get solutions for problems this country's mecca one of that because with the political future is all about us what you are talking about this idea of being here in the fact you all are here, supporting civil discussion learning from people of different parties, we need more of this. so think you all for being h
