. >> andrea you heard sandra talking about some criticizing rand paul among them john mccain saying he is uses this sure to get that out there. >> that might be true but senator paul has believed in this for a long time. he is consistent on where he stands in the constitution and makes a compelling case. both sides make very compelling arguments. take the politics out of it. you have rand paul who is rightly concerned about the secret court and the abuse by the government and, harris the potential abuse. we are living in a time where we have the irs going after people for their political beliefs so there is concern information could be used before. when hoover was head of the fbi it is no secret they used information to go after political opponents. i think the opportunity for abuse is huge. remember sitting on the couch or on "outnumbered" in august when we got the headline u.s. directs agents to cover up a program. how did they do that? with the wire tap. >> and it isn'tt that senator paul wants to do away with the patriot act they want changes. but congress is working on the changes

senators and john mccain are calling for the end of the practice to use taxpayer money at sporting events. the patriots and two other franchises received flag rollouts and other military color guards. in a statement, the nfl says the amendment paints a distorted picture of the relationship of nfl teams and the military. >> i did not know those were paid. i thought it was part of the performance. >> the military does advertise a bit on tv and other places. those matter to them. where the line ends is interesting. >>> game one is in the books. golden state warriors beating the cavaliers in overtime. 108-100. the warriors trailed most of the game but took over in the extra session. they were never threatened. lebron james scored 44 for the cavaliers. game two is sunday. >> and kyrie irving walked off injured. >>> american pharoah is one victory away from the triple crown. could be the first horse in 37 years to capture the triple crown. >> are you putting money on it? >> no. one of the hardest feats in sports. california chrome last year failed in his triple crown bid. the last horse to win

it was one of the issues of the gop primary in 2000 when john mccain and george w. bush framed it as a states right issue. there are many calls to reassess the flag's presence across from the state capitol. >> there is no doubt south carolina has a rich and provocative history and the flag is part of the history. for some the flag represents that history. for so many others it represents a page and oppression. i am looking forward to state leaders getting together after the funerals about the next step. >> we have confederate flags up every where. it is not going to make any difference. what is going to make a difference is do we change people's hearts and minds. >> former gop president nominee mitt romney tweeted it is time to take it down. the flag bee longs into a muss em. >> there could be a bill that the legislature in south carolina line in a are discussing to have that flag removed. what's the latest? >> they plan to introduce a bill in january. it is unclear how many they may have. the law requires a super majority. >> doug mcelway live from washington. than

by the way, there was almost some potential for bipartisan agreement with john mccain leading the charge. that was a few months ago. what happened? yemen imploded on this president's watch. most of the detainees left and that sort of took away any attempt to broker a deal where some of them might return there. so that's gone by the wayside as well. i don't really see a bipartisan agreement coming down the road at all. >> we're going to follow this closely and keep you updated on who is leaving. >>> next up the lightning round, a round-up of 2016. >>> >>> today a few republicans are systematically and and deliberately trying to stop millions of american citizens from voting. what part of democracy are they afraid of? >> we have 28 days of voting in ohio. her home state of new york is one day. maybe the first thing she ought to do is work on her own state. look, i don't say anything about her emails or all this other stuff but when you start saying that you are going to sue ohio and republicans are deliberately working to deny people the right to voted i'm outraged by it. and frankly one s

john mccain did it in 2008 mitt romney did it in 2012. i want to ask you some very personal criticisms against jeb bush how is the campaign taking it? >> they're try the not to take it. jeb bush was asked about what donald trump said about building a fence, a wall on the southern border, and he basically said you know no i won't answer it. i don't think -- >> not that he wouldn't answer the question but no i don't agree with that and then moved on. he's trying not to take the debate. i am sure other reports are asking about the fact that trump announced 24 hours after bush clearly trying to steal the spotlight, clearly has hi sights on bush in terms of personally and on policy. they're trying not to let trump jolt them at all, but it's hard not for bush but for all of these republican candidates. i was talking to one yesterday who said you know the problem for them with donald trump in the race is that every time he says something wacky, everybody else will be asked about it. it's going to take people off their game and off their message,

we were in with senator john mccain ten days ago meeting with he and the kurds on this. the kurds are winning. what better to throw one of people who have the ability and will to win and figure out a way to set aside what we want to do with bagdad. bagdad will not be helpful here. >> right now, colonel, we did the math on it. there has been 4700 air strikes since we started ten months ago. that comes to 15 per day. i don't know about you, but i remember when desert storm started. we were talking thousands per day. >> that's right. and i think that's the key here to follow on to what i think ralph peters said earlier. you have to be completely committed to winning. that means upwards of 100 or 200 air strikes a day. some of those, eric you're talking about 15 per day, half of those the airplanes come back with the ordnances still on them and didn't drop anything. we put forward the idea of an arab nato. we've invested in foreign militaries in that region for the past 50 years. i was at the army war college this week. we have foreign officers attending university there. wh

a profound impact on the enemy. >> among its sharpest critics former naval aviator john mccain. >> 75% of the force he return to base without having fired a weapon. >> that is right for dynamic targeting and putting planes up and waiting for targets of opportunity to appear. air force commanders cite two situations, the need to avoid killing incidents and the difficulty telling enemy fighters from nents. >> as david petraeus told news this week. >> division letter perhaps even to battalion levels. should the there be teams of joint tactical controllers on the ground. >> should there be? >> i think there should be. there is risk of not winning this fight. somewhere. >> reporter: that risk of more american casualties is what has stopped joint chiefs chairman general martin dempsey of recommending fighters, from advising and assisting into a ground combat role. pentagon says it's not against more deaths that argues against putting spotters on the ground it's also the aversion to doing more of the fighting that the iraqis need to do themselves. as one pentagon official puts it the iraqis n

you think back to 2000 when it was and john mccain. there were boycotts taking place and this was the race in 2000. i am not going to tell the people what to do. they had john mccain and he came out after that and saying i wasn't giving you the truth. i had a different opinion on this. >> like i said at the beginning, i can't believe we are still having this discussion. i understand that there folks in the south that have a lot of pride in the history of the confederacy, but leaving all the race issues aside, it's a symbolism of a portion of our country that tried to seceed from the union. is that something we should be clinging to so strongly? >> what is to be proud of this? what's to be proud of this battle flag with this murderer with a gun. why continue to support something like this? that's what i don't get. i don't understand why this shouldn't be a conversation that starts and ends with yes, take it down. >> it seems like this has the movement that nicky haley, the governor of south carolina. she wasn't saying we need to have th

the amendments remain sponsors democratic dianne feinstein and republican john mccain discussed the issue before the senate voted. >> thank you very much mr. president and i would think the distinguished chairman for this.orked i don't think i would take 15 minutes mr. president i join senator mccain and the ranking member read as well as senator collins and the other original cosponsors of the senators leahy white house mikulski, warner, baldwin and markey in offering an amendment that would help to ensure that the united states never again carries out abusive interrogation techniques were indefinite secret detentions. i'm pleased the senate will consider this amendment and i urge the vote. the amendment we are offering today is very simple. it applies the authorizations and restrictions in the manual to the entire government and extends what the congress did buy the vote of 90-9 with the treatment act that i believe senator mccain offered which banned the department of defense from using techniques not authorized by the army field manual and also ban the government from using cruel inhu

neil: john mccain, i'll just say, it john mccain would be worried, he'd support him but he'd be worried? >> i'm worried. i disagree with him. but it's more than disagreement because this is a way of judging the nature of our danger, and i don't think that he put the issue in the way they would feel comfortable with. neil: secretary kissinger, always good seeing you, thank you for taking the time. >> you are my friend. neil: he was in the neighborhood! [ laughter ]. lot more after, this including as the secretary was saying some response on the part of the white house what it might be on the latest chinese hacking incident, and just how far the world's two biggest powers go in a relationship that has gotten to put it mildly worse. after this. on personal income taxes. we enacted the lowest corporate tax rate since 1968. we eliminated the income tax on manufacturers altogether. with startup-ny, qualified businesses that start, expand or relocate to new york state pay no taxes for 10 years. all to grow our economy and create jobs. see how new york can give your business the opportunity to

when john mccain used "running on empty," its singer jackson browne said the republican was indeed running on empty and wanted him to stop using that track. sarah palin used heart's hit song "barracuda." the band said it smelled fishy and when they used don't stop believin', journey said do stop using our song. surely they will send me the same note shortly. >>> jeb bush the former governor of florida and brother of former president george w. bush entered the race on monday. the republican hit the late-night circuit on tuesday appearing on the tonight show with jimmy fallon the pair picked up a couple of microphones and as you do, slow jammed the news. take a listen. >> i'm looking forward to hitting the campaign trail and discussing the issues that are important to all americans. and having spirited debates with my fellow republicans about how to solve them. >> you don't want to mess with little jebby. because when it comes to debating. he's a master. he's a master debater. >> while we're talkin' about the issues, where do you stand on immigration? >> well, jimmy, we're a nation of immigr

john mccain critical thinking this is incremental. he would like to see a more robust u.s. response and more help for the iraqis. he is not satisfied with this. on the other hand, democrats if there is mission creep involved. there will be questions about whether this puts too many u.s. troops at risk in iraq at this particular moment in time. alix: absolutely. much, peter cook. mark: coming up, the isis money train. how the group is getting its funding next. ♪ mark: welcome back to the bloomberg market day. i am mark crumpton. alix: more on the battle against isis. mark: the white house sending 400 50 troops -- the white house sending an additional 450 troops to iraq. pimm fox talked about the effort with a reporter. today is the one-year anniversary of the day that isis , a group that few people outside of iraq in syria had even heard of took over the second-largest city in iraq. as part of the takeover they were able to take over oil refineries, fields, and one of the major things they made money off of last year was $100 million in oils they'll. -- oil sales. i wanted

more like along the lines of john mccain. he's from south carolina he could serve to be a bit of a spoiler in that key primary state. >> graham has been sharply critical of senator rand paul who paugt who will fought against nsa surveillance. is paul making head way with that? >> i wouldn't call senator rand paul a winner of a popularity contest. he brought senators to work on sunday pushing up against that midnight deadline. paul was victorious in successfully blocking the nsa metadata bulk collection but later in the week they'll probably pass a watered down version of that. but he brought to the forefront how the country has moved on this issue since the revelations of edward snowden. rand paul has led the charge on the issue of privacy rights and he won a victory, if only for the short term on sunday night. >>> the republican race is getting crowded. now let's look at the democrats. we had martin o'malley join the group. is it three, four now of democrats? >> we have bernie sanders, hillary clinton and martin o'malley in

mccain in 2008 it is a powerful force inside the republican party. what was surprising was this confluence of religion government and politics coming together thanks to the pope who came out and said climate change should be dealt with as a matter of -- a good catholic should be worried about climb change. it will be curious see mike huckabee's response to that. he intertwines faith and governing, not everybody likes that in general. but this intersection of it, the pope in some ways is calling for it climate change has been a wedge issue among republican candidates. i'll be curious to see what he thinks of what pope said. >> we look forward to the conversation. thank you very much chuck. >> all right. >> chuck moderator of "meet the press." you can watch "meet the press" here on nbc 10 at 10:30 this morning. >>> the rain is moving out of the area for now. the heat and humidity are moving in. >> that's right. so make sure you stay hydrated with dad today as you take him out. a live look at the rain drops, seeing on and off showers. that will continue

the bipartisan amendment from senators john mccain and dianne feinstein would extend president obama's torture ban to future administrations, outlawing any tactics not expressly included in the u.s. army field manual. the measure passed by a vote of 78 to 21. the food and drug administration has announced a ban on all artificial trans fats. food companies will have three years to phase out the use of partially hydrogenated oils, which have been linked to heart disease and thousands of deaths. advocacy groups have welcomed the move, but say the deadline should be earlier than three years. the real estate mogul and reality television personality donald trump has announced his bid for the republican presidential nomination. in a rambling kickoff speech, trump branded mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists. donald trump: these people are not sending their best. they are not sending you. they are sending people that have lots of problems and they are bringing their problems to us. they are bringing drugs crime the are rapists. some, i assume, are good people. amy: in 1990, donald trump

. >> i top the ask you, there is a tough quote about jeb from john mccain 2008 in the "new york times." he just hasn't met the expectation level of what we expected of a bush. his brother yet cleared the field and had many more endorsements and a lot more momentum. he is i trooing to run as his own person and true to himself. he is into the issues he cared about and i hope he doesn't strike because he has to run to the far right to win. he managed to go to europe without making the mistake. the greeshians. it's a long road to get to over $12 hundred that you need to win. when they argue, there is a lot to this. it is such a different world now. that was way pretea party. anybody would have been the nominee. that is driving all of these candidates in. it's also a time when people were looking for outsiders. jeb bush may not be that guy. when i found observing him on the trip, i got to see him up close and personal. she comfortable and that could go a long way if people are looking for the authenticity. >> for them to say he is authentic or appears authentic, do not go away. i will take

for example, senator john mccain on the floor earlier said several times that rand paul should learn the rules of the senate. mccain also told reporters paul's tactics are successful fundraising exercise for his presidential campaign. yet the senate's top democrat played republican leader mcconnell. >> the job of a leader is to have a plan. in this case it's clear that the majority leader simply didn't have a plan. we're not in the mess today because of a junior leader in kentucky. >> reporter: not surprising that harry reid would take a swipe at mitch mcconnell. but many warn rand paul this may be a dangerous move harris. >> they can shore up their side of the argument. part of the problem has been the bulk collection has not always proven to work. we saw they had a lot of metadata but they were not able to stop that. i'm curious to know is senator rand paul talking about this fight at all tonight? has anybody spoken to him? >> reporter: well yeah. the phone data is unconstitutional and paul is telling all who will listen that he thinks the authorities should be forced to get a warr

whether it is sufficient to satisfy john mccain, for example, who would like to see the u.s. take an even more aggressive role in iraq, allowing for u.s. troops to act as spotters on the ground to help iraqi forces, that remains to be seen. but he also has to be worried whot regrets, in particular are worried about mission creep and whether this might represent too much of a commitment from u.s. forces on the ground. the president has to strike a balance here, and that -- again, this move could open him up to criticism on either front. i don't know if going from 2000 troops to 3450 is mission creep, but everybody is wondering what these trainers are going to be doing on the ground. you mentioned that some of them might be spotters. misnomer?r" a are these combat troops helping the iraqi army? notr: wellpeter:, they're on the front lines, lydia, and it is clear from u.s. officials talking about this that what the administration is training the iraqi forces to conduct this fight themselves. yes i'm a they will be located in areas where the idea is not to put u.s. troops in harm

i was one of the original co sponsors in the bill including john mccain and ted kennedy. there were only nine of us that originally sponsored it. a bipartisan group, by the way. that's the first thing, native americans, deep deep social issues that we have to address, and it always takes resources. and a caring and commitment. i believe we as americans should do that. >> hello governor. many nations and experts across the globe have set the standard to be below two degrees sendy grade. what would you do to propose they get their fair share. >> the first way to address changes is in power plants. it's the biggest way we can address climate change. coming out of our electricity generating power plants. when i was in the senate. we had a bill to do that, and as i mentioned, president bush had promised to designate carbon dioxide as a pollutant. he promised in campaign speech. i'll tell a quick story. he made the former governor of new jersey his epa administrator and governor whitman would then start to go around the country on sunday talk shows and the like, talk about how

even senator john mccain a man who himself was tortured in captivity as a pow in vietnam calls for its release. graphic new details of the post-9/11 u.s. torture program came to light in december when an intelligence committee released that 500 page summary of its investigation into the cia. with key parts redacted. the report concludes that the intelligence agency failed to disrupt a single lot despite torturing al qaeda and other captives in secret prisons worldwide between 2002 and six and details a list of tortured methods used on prisoners including waterboarding, sexual threats with broomsticks. medically unnecessary rectal feeding. the report also come to terms the cia ran black sites in afghanistan lithuania poland in thailand. and a secret site on the non-tech -- guantanamo naval base known as strawberry fields. so far no one involved has been charged with a crime except for the whistleblower. who just came out of two years of prison and is currently under house arrest. it is so important to assess the bush administration and i hope in a few years you will be doing the same fo

support from the rally also came from both house minority leader nancy pelosi and senator john mccain. the group's leader sat down for an interview with fox news and she told me more needs to be done to try and rein in tehran's nuclear efforts. >> welcome to fox news. what do you want from iran in the negotiations? >> negotiations should call them to abandon its nuclear program. this is the desire of the iranian people who oppose this program. the mullah's need the bomb for their own survival. no concession should be made to the regime. u.s. security council resolution must be implemented. unfortunately, the current trend of talks is very disappointing. conversation made to the mullahs have emboldened them, even during the talks. the regime has not talked its military dimension activities. in short the outcome should be to deny the regime any capability to obtain a nuclear bomb and not simply delaying the break of time for a few more months. >> do you trust tehran? >> absolutely not. i have said time and again the mullahs are masters of deception. everything that the world knows about

and it's not going to be enough for republicans like john mccain and lindsey graham who want to see the white house do even more. >>> well he's out, the texas police officer who sparked outrage after this video went viral resigns. corporal eric casebolt is seen this this video slamming a 14-year-old girl to the ground and later drawing his gun on unarmed teenagers. his own police chief calling his actions, quote, out of control. >> reporter: that officer was on administrative leeave. even though he turned in his badge, he turned it in for this investigation was even complete. some are saying his resignation just isn't enough. >> the actions of casebolt as seen on the video are indefensible. >> reporter: police officer casebolt seen on that shocking viral video yanking a 14-year-old bygirl to the ground has now resigned. the dallas suburb police chief says it's too soon to say whether he will face charges. >> our policies our training our practice do not support his actions. he came into the call out of control. and as the video shows was out of control during the incident. >> reporter:

senator john mccain is optimistic the by the end of this week it will be wrapped up. host: we talk specifics, but as far as spending bills what is to be considered for spending bills they keep government operating? guest: if the house passes transportation and defense this week, that leaves them with six more to do. we have to remember by the end of the fiscal year. that is something that has not happened until the end of the 1990's, so it is not clear if that is going to be possible, but they are at about halfway stage. host: lauren fox talking about the week ahead in congress. thank you very much. lauren: thank you.

here is john mccain blasting the administration on the senate floor. >> we say it again. we don't have a complete strategy about how to combat isis. i'd like to see the incomplete strategy. i'd like to see something. >> reporter: the administration is on the defense trying to explain what the president meant. they say he was specifically talking about his request for the pentagon to come up with a new plan a new strategy to try to accelerate a training and equipping of iraqi security forces not working on the overall strategy they say, against isis. the pentagon's plan is not yet finalized. the president wants more commitments from the iraqi government to recruit more trainers and especially to bring more sunni fighters into the mix. >> sounds like we'll need more explanation today from the white house about what that all meant. thank you for that background. >>> when an army delta force killed a top al qaeda operative, it raised an alarming question. could the wives of isis leaders be playing a bigger role than previously thought. cnns pentagon correspondent. barbara. >>
