cruz: i like john mccain and i respect john mccain. my approach has been consistent. if others choose to throw rocks i will not reciprocate. what we endeavor to do is take the high road. in my time in the senate, to my knowledge, i have not spoken ill of any other congressmen. when john mccain said that i went to the senate floor and rose to give a speech in praise of john mccain. it happened to be the 40th anniversary of his release from the hanoi hilton. i spoke about what an incredible privilege to serve with a patriot and hero like john mccain. who was tortured -- being in my family being imprisoned and tortured is something my family and door, too -- endured, too. not at the level that john mccain did but most extraordinary, john mccain was offered early release and turned it down because he believed it would be dishonorable. i said, none of us have face that. i have never been in prison and i have never been tortured. all of us hope we would make the same decision as he did but not one of us knows for sure. i said, what a privilege to serve with an american hero

bush took basically the same line as john mccain on the issue. who am i to tell south carolina they ought to take that confederate flag down? because george w. bush, we forget now, was a very, very good politician, although he took the same line as john mccain did, he sounded way better when he did it. >> as an american citizen, do you have a visceral reaction to seeing the confederate flag? >> as an american citizen i trust the people of south carolina to make the decision for south carolina. >> cheers, cheers. for no one telling south carolina to take down that confederate flag. not long after he lost the south carolina primary to george w. bush, then he dropped out of the race, and south carolina ultimately decided to take the confederate flag off the state capitol dome and move it instead to frankly a more prominent place, confederate memorial in front of the state house right on a main drag that you drive-thru in columbia, right after that, after they moved the flag to the different part of the state capitol grounds, john mccain said he shou

senator mccain, john mccain of arizona taking the lindsey graham record a lot like john mccain who also ran for president. monday he of course made his announcement. six sitting senator to formally announce. the biggest challenge to prove he is a viable candidate likely will not come direct from the crowded heels of colleagues he is running against. the one senator who is art he waged in lost multiple bits john mccain of arizona. read more yahoo! politics. we want to know what you think about the nine candidates to get into the race on the republican side. erica from rick -- from florida. caller: you did pronounce it correct. thank you for taking my call. i follow politics very closely. i have watched everybody that has gotten into the race, and yes, there are quite a few of them. out of all of them, lindsey graham is the only one that's my gut instinct says that is a man you can trust. host: why do you think that is? caller: i have watched him for years. to me, he is not like the typical politician who says whatever they need to say to get elect did. he comes across as very honest. my

>> guest: i like john mccain and i respect john mccain. when he called me a wacko bird my approach has been consistent. if others who choose to throw rocks i will not reciprocate. and indeed consistently what we have endeavored to do is take the high road and in my time in the senate i have not spoken to the best of my knowledge of any other senator republican or democrat and so actually when john mccain called me a wacko bird the next day i went to the senate floor and rows to give a speech in praise of john mccain and it happened to be the 40th anniversary of his release from the flournoy hilton hilton. i spoke about what an incredible privilege to serve with a patriot and hero like john mccain who served his nation and was imprisoned who was tortured. obviously in my family being imprisoned and tortured is something my family has endured too. not at the level that senator mccain did is something that is nonetheless powerful and most extraordinary john mccain was offered early release from prison in vietnam. he turned it down because he

. >> john mccain had a tough primary campaign in 2008. there were whole stretches of months at a time when the biggest news out of the mccain campaign was how many of his staff members were quitting, how poorly his campaign was going, how demoralized everybody was, how he had no money, no support. john mccain had to win new hampshire in 2008. specifically had to beat mitt romney there. and predictions of his demise to the contrary, he did it. he won new hampshire. that victory in new hampshire went a really long way to helping john mccain look strong and resilient and helping him win that year. it was more dramatic than it was on the john mccain/mitt romney side. on the democratic side in 2008, the drama there was in part about how wrong all the polls were on the democratic side. barack obama had just beaten hillary clinton in iowa the week before, that iowa victory was huge for him. all signs were pointing to him doing the same thing again in new hampshire. but it turns out all those signs were wrong. everybody was wrong. the polls were

they were born o john mccain is a republicanf pain maverick. . lieberman had been the vice presidential nominee and lost the election. along comes barack. the thing about joe lieberman i think any politician can learn from it is, he did not want the job too much. he was progressive by any reasonable definition, but when it came to radical islam and the war, he understood we had to get iraq right. he was willing to stand by bush, who had made tons of mistakes. he was going to go all in with the surge. joe would not give an inch. he stood by the president. he was, i think, the only democratic vote to keep us from pulling the plug. that bond -- john had been a contrarian in his own party. joe became the outcast on national security. from that bond, when people wanted not to lose a war we did not think we could afford to lose -- it came from there. mark: what are the activities of the three amigos? senator graham: we have been everywhere together. we busted our butts to go to iraq to find out what is working and what is not. any senator -- travel. if

>> it's been really interesting, john mccain, the senator from arizona, he's now the chairman of the armed services committee, he's complained that early on in obama's administration when he came in he had discussions with mccain of closing the prison that were essentially abandoned so he said for years that if obama wants to get this done why hasn't he given him a plan never been talking to mccain all throughout and then a few weeks ago he told us that he had spoken to obama about a plan to close the facility and since then defense secretary carter national security adviser to the white house came to mccain's office discuss what the plan would look like and carter confirmed he believes it's a good opportunity to see if we can get this done. >> talk to us about the politics behind this. it seems like the president and the administration is going about this the right way by taking the temperature of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to see if this would even do well going to the hill and there are as we were talking in the commercial break republicans not on board with this. how mu

>> it looks like the focus will be on the defense bill led by senator john mccain. it looks like senate democrats are taking some aim at the additional $38 billion that's being added to the overseas contingency operation fund. that is to avoid the automatic budget cuts known as sequestration. democrats are not sure if they will go for this yet. they say this budget is gimmicky and they are not decided on whether the a will go along with republicans there. that seems to be where they are eating up much of the time in the senate but john mccain is optimistic by the end of this week, it will be wrapped up. >> we talk specifics but as far as panic bills, what still has to be considered as far as spending bills that keep government programs operating? >> if the house of representatives passes transportation and defense this week on the that leaves them with six more to do. it is very unlikely that all 12 appropriations bills could get past by the end of the fiscal year. that has not happened since the 1990's. it's not clear whether that will be possible they are at the h

by 2008 he was an independent endorsing independent barack obama over john mccain. by 2012 he was the independent governor of rhode island who was serving as barack obama's national campaign chair. by 2013, lincoln chaffee had officially become a democrat. in 2014 he said he would not run for re-election as rhode island's governor. and last week he said he would run for election for president. that was not exactly the most unexpected move on earth, but lincoln chaffee has surprised many. the only one who voted against the iraq war, he served as a mayor, a senator and governor, now the fourth candidate this year to declare a run for democratic nomination for president of the united states. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for inviting me, rachel. >> when i talk about your transformation to republican to independent to democrat, are you -- are you proud of that transformation about leaving those party labels behind? do you worry that democratic primary voters may hold that against you? >> yes, but my record and convictions are open to scrutiny, but my records as

i've had george and laura bush here, mitt romney, john mccain sarah palin. one of my republican supporters who has not been subject to public criticism called me the other day and said here is the message i get from this coverage . if i put my money in a tax shelter in the cayman islands i'm a great man. if i give my money to one of these blackbox committees were where you never have to reveal the contributors i will never get any grief. if i give my money to you to help poor people there is something wrong with me. has anybody prove that we did anything objectionable? at we done good things? yes. in the end, the foundation will stand to fall on the work it does. mark: president clinton was asked about what the future would look like if hillary clinton becomes the potus. bill clinton: i believe if she had been the president and the current president of either party asked you to do anything if in good conscious you can do it you should do it. that will be not a easy decision should she be elected president. she will have to decide. one thing she knows more ab

john mccain said the mideast is on fire. this is a bad time to do this, but his fellow republican rand paul insisted that we have been handing over our privacy to the government and that needed to stop. the question is -- can they fix it now? some of those provisions the obama administration argues need to come back. it looks like senator mitch mcconnell who had opposed the freedom act to replace it is now supporting that. they voted to move forward with the vote on it in -- basically what that means, aaron, by tuesday or possibly as late as wednesday we could see a final vote on this bill that would replace the patriot act or the expired portions. >> tracie potts, thank you. >>> tributes continue to pour in as the political world mourns the loss of beau biden, the son of vice president biden. he succumbed to a battle with brain cancer saturday at the age of 46. the president and first lady visited the bidens over the weekend. biden was a promising politician and an iraq war veteran. he was considered the front-runner to bec

he's an interventionist a military and caucuses often with john mccain on these issues. more military intervention. was that strategic on his part? he has really distinguished himself from rand paul, who i believe polling is second in the field of republican candidates. >> it depends on which state you're looking at. but yes he's never been a big rand paul fan throughout his rand paul's shorts senate career. he has been odds with him on just about every issue when it comes to intervention versus isolation. it's not a surprise to see him distinguishing himself from them. what he's trying to do is distinguish himself from others. people like jeb bush, who are going to make big plays. stephanie we have to be aware of the fact that we're so a far ahead of these prime minister before getting caught up in tomorrow. but he has to distinguish himself from other candidates as well. rand paul he's not worried about because the divide is so obvious between the two of them. >> another area in which he has distinguished is the way he has cooperated with demonstrates on certain issues

mitt romney and john mccain both released two years of tax returns. as president, obama released total of seven. bush is releasing these as a stark contrast to hillary clinton who's been under fire quite a while for evading transparency and violating protocols as a boss for using personal e-mail and losing thousands of those. bush has released 280,000 from time as governor of florida. his emphasis on clean government will probably remind voters of the bridgegate scandal. three of his employees were indicted for closing a bridge as punishment. one of the staffers pled guilty. christie's campaign slogan tells it like it is sometimes gives his hot temper asset. being a truth teller is a big deal. kasich will get in the race in july. he's pushing for that lane. bobby jindal of louisiana says he's going to be frank and tell voters about the bitter medicine we might have to take if there's going to be a fiscally responsible republican in the white house. >> carl cameron with a thorough summary. thanks. >> how did we first see chris christie? remember it was

senator john mccain that year you may recall had just won the new hampshire primary by a wide margin and suddenly people were wondering if south carolina would be where he finished off the front running george w. bush. bush was fighting to keep his campaign alive. he chose the side of keeping the confederate flag flying over south carolina, and so did john mccain. taking that position didn't save mccain. mccain lost the south carolina primary by a wide margin. three weeks later he ended his presidential campaign and bush won the nomination. not long after that episode when he was an ex-candidate he came out and said he made a mistake by backing the confederate flag. quote, i feared that if i answered honestly i could not win the south carolina primary. so i chose to compromise my principles. i broke my promise to always tell the truth. that same year in 2000 the south carolina state legislature reached a compromise of sorts. the flag would be removed from the dome of the state house and brought to a confederate soldier's monument nearby on the state capital grounds and that's where i

al: the only that succeeded was john mccain in 2008 and 2000. it is a more daunting challenge for christie. he is as good as you said. he will do good in those town hall meetings. i think if i am john kasich, lindsey graham, that is my strategy. the competition will be greater than the senator from arizona face. john: because of the fact there are so many candidates in the race for anybody in the establishment bracket who is not -- does not have strong ties to the evangelical community, not culture warriors, new hampshire is the only game in town. it is a crowded field with these people including jeb bush who -- for whom new hampshire is a must win state. he's going to have to plow through strong candidates and he will need a win in new hampshire. al: i totally agree. if he doesn't win or come close second in the granite state he is dead. john: thank you. we'll come back in one moment with a limited time offer. chris christie box set greatest hits after this. ♪ john: there is no candidate like chris christie. his term bombasts and produced a b
