on john mccain, i made that myself and i want to say hurrah to john mccain and all good wishes. i am a democrat and i basically respected the man. he served our country with honor and one trump dissed him, it was a slap in the face to every soldier who served this country with pride. he should take it back and mccainze unless tv to and all the wounded warriors who did their job with no second thought of their own safety. love to protect our country. that is all i have to say. colorado, kelly, independent. share your thoughts. john mccain is a vietnam that. he was an honorable man and he served. thereople who were continually got stomped and spit on. uniform, even wear his my father, when he came back from vietnam. country have this ignored the military from day one. dependence from the military you take a weapon no one and every thing about, i don't know, this has seemingly gone down the toilet. wise medical so high? half -- hospitals are in a profit business. you cannot go anywhere. where does it stop? host: ok. diagnosis, here is information about glioblastoma. it is the most

keep an eye on john mccain. he has been sitting side by side with his good friend lindsey graham for much of this, and getting a lot of attention from republican leaders. if john mccain decides not to vote for this bill, this bill will not move forward. mccain was one of several senators to give a press conference today. he was one of the most outspoken people who said i don't want this bill to become law. but he was potentially willing to vote for it if he had assurances he was comfortable with. that speaker ryan would take to it conference, as you said, this kind of christmas tree that they could then dress back up. earlier in the night, he told reporters he wasn't satisfied by what he had heard from speaker ryan. and brian, he stopped talking about it. i ran into him in a hallway i don't know, an hour and a half ago, tried to ask him about it. would not say another word about his vote. all eyes in the chamber are on john mccain right now. >> all right. and as garrett spoke at around the 12:00 mark on your scr

i spent a year with mccain. whether -- whatever you think of his politics, he is truly a toughy man. >> as meghan laid out, he was not scared by his captors in vietnam, and he is going to take on this challenge like he's taken on every other challenge in his life. >> tucker: ed henry, thanks for that. we will be right back. r one laugh, and hello sensitive bladder. ring a bell? then you have to try always discreet. i didn't think protection this thin could work. but the super absorbent core turns liquid to gel. for incredible protection... snap! so it's out of sight... ...and out of mind. always discreet. for bladder leaks. i've discovered incredible bladder leak underwear that hugs every curve. can't tell i'm wearing it, can you? always discreet underwear. for bladder leaks. >> tucker: our panel and its best to settle the weirdest choice of the day. catherrin lyon and the manager editor from olympic media. welcome both. the first story: a woman in saudi arabia retained by police because she was walking around i

this is mccain's night. each generation sees a lion of the senate emerge and we will see if he's a maverick or not. a couple of other things. this is a divided republican party. something we know they ran on for seven years. we are seeing the division. we see that trump is not the wholesale leader of the party. he is a republican president who has been unable to lead his party to consensus on repeal. if they pass this tonight, they are just forestalling a vote on a bill as you reported that they still don't agree on. they never sold it to the three constituencie constituencies. those who had expanded coverage and those who receive financial assistance and those who did see the plans disrupted through higher premiums or changed plans. republicans never sold each of the three constituencies on their plan. they haven't been able to sell their colleagues and that's why they are in the pickle they are in. >> i have been handed this from jonathan martin at the "new york times." let's keep the picture on the man of

what he said to mccain might be premature. >> i want to thank senator john mccain. very brave man. he made a tough trip to get here and vote. so we want to thanks senator mccain and all of the republicans. >> senator mccain voting to proceed to the debate today does not mean that he will vote for whatever is that final bill that mitch mcconnell really does try to pass. on the senate floor. john mccain made it very clear, that he might not vote for some of these bills. tonight, he voted for a procedural vote to advance -- to advance one of these bills. but it is not clear what else he might vote for. >> i voted for the motion to proceed to allow the debate it continue and amendment to the offer. i will not vote for this bill as it is today. it is a shell of a bill right now. we all ne that. >> today senator mccain publicly bet that republicans would end up passing nothing in the senate. >> if this process ends in failure, which seems likely, then let's return to regular order. let the health education labor and pensions committee under chairman alexander and ranking member murray ho

senator mccain betrayed the republican party. what he wanted was more discussion, and that's what this bill could have allowed. it could have allowed a bipartisan conversation in the house to go forward. and at the same time, less than a year ago when he was campaigning for reelection, in all of his ads he said vote for senator mccain, because he's leading the fight to repeal and replace obamacare, and tonight he killed the fight. >> no one stopped a bipartisan effort on obamacare except for mitch mcconnell. when barack obama first started the health care thing about seven years ago, barack obama went to the republican conference and took questions from republican members. they offered republicans, they said what do you want to see in health care to have us pass this. harry reid, nancy pelosi, barack obama got it passed. now we have donald trump, paul ryan and mitch mcconnell and they couldn't get it done. and mitch mcconnell has not asked the democrats to help at all. >> he this werenthey weren't go anyway. >> they might have if

i spent a year with mccain. whether -- whatever you think of his politics, he is truly a toughy man. >> as meghan laid out, he was not scared by his captors in vietnam, and he is going to take on this challenge like he's taken on every other challenge in his life. >> tucker: ed henry, thanks for that. we will be right back. r when i first started working with capital one, my dad called them up and asked for "the jennifer garner card" which is such a dad thing to do. after he gave his name the woman from capital one said "mr. garner, are you related to jennifer?" kind of joking with him. and my dad was so proud to tell her, "as a matter of fact, she is my middle daughter". so now dad has the venture card, he's earning his double miles, and he made a friend at the company. can i say it? go ahead! what's in your wallet? nice job dad. that's why sunscreen and other safety measures are key to protecting your skin from aging and cancer. the fda recommends using a sunscreen with a sun protection factor, or spf, of 15 o

the most pivotal figures in american history has had a lifetime of near-death experiences, now john mccain is in a brand-new fight. the arizona senator undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot but doctors at the mayo clinic sound a tumor, the same type that killed his close democratic colleague, the late ted kennedy and joe biden's on blow. news spread, so did words of encouragement, the emotional statement from senator mccain's daughter, he is the toughest person i know. the toughest enemy could not break him so he is meeting this challenge as he has every other. it may afflict a man anyways but it will not make him surrender, nothing ever has. his presidential running mate sarah palin saying he will face his latest battle with courage and strength. >> if he is a fighter and if i were going to war i wouldn't want mccain on my side, i would want him leading the charge. i appreciate the strength he is showing and he will continue to show and thankful for it. >> donald trump offering support saying john mccain has always been a fighter. we send our thoughts and prayers to the entire family.

john mccain. he's been fighting with john mccain for two solid years. how could donald trump help with those three votes? >> he said lisa murkowski of the great state of alaska really let the republicans and our country down yesterday, too bad. >> but let me take the contrary view on the fissures of support for trump. you're right. the republicans still support the president in the mid 80s, i think that's unlikely to change, because this is the benefit of having a roll call vote, he has people to blame. so if you're a trump supporter and you believe in the president, he's going to tell you, i'm guessing, tomorrow, here are the three people that sunk what we were trying to do. so the president's been very good at putting blame for things not happening, on others, and keeping it off himself. that's a big reason the republicans in his base have stuck with him. >> koreen and jason, if you want to jump in, at any time. go ahead. >> well, scott and i don't agree all that often, so maybe i should jump at the opportunity to say that -- >> don't kill my street c

i would hope in honor of john mccain we could do ndaa. i thought we could have worked out rand paul there on the issue. mccain, reid and i were talking to him. it will be up to leader mcconnell. reporter: is there a role democrats can play on tax reform undere it's going reconciliation? senator schumer: they're putting the same sign out, no democrats wanted, and they did with health care and i think will lead to the same result. ok. last one. reporter: what was your conversation with speaker ryan? ?the dialogue senator schumer: i've always gotten along with speaker ryan. he and i worked on a proposal to repatriate some money and put it into infrastructure. look, again, i think the four leaders left to their own devices along with their caucuses could get a lot done but there are outside forces that pull things apart. the president has not been helpful in bringing people together. again, i hope last night was a magic moment that changes all that. thank you, everybody. >>thank you. [chatter] >> john mccain explained his decision to vote aga

. >> senator john mccain?-- john mccain has always been a fighter. we send our thoughts and players to senator john mccain and their entire family. get well soon." >> john mccain is a lion of the senate. inherited that from senator ted kennedy. if anybody can beat brain cancer, it's john mccain. the house intelligence committee said they have known since april about this donald trump, jr.oh meeting with 8 people. i assume the special counsel had it. we should set that aside. >> right. >> when it comes to senator sessions, how could we have predicted the future that he was going to recuse himself about a russia issue if all of that happened after he was already confirmed? i don't understand why jumpingns on senator sessions tonight makes sense. he's been a?pretty good attorney he's been a pretty good attorney general. he is talking aboutbi the president's agenda. filed that huge lawsuit against the pharmaceutical companies trying to bilk medicaid out of money. >> he can't predict the future. jeff sessions was the first senator to stick his neck out wh

i spent a year with mccain. whether -- whatever you think of his politics, he is truly a toughy man. >> as meghan laid out, he was not scared by his captors in vietnam, and he is going to take on this challenge like he's taken on every other challenge in his life. >> tucker: ed henry, thanks for that. we will be right back. r (burke) at farmers, we've seen almost everything so we know how to cover almost anything. even a swing set standoff. and we covered it, july first, twenty-fifteen. talk to farmers. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ copdso to breathe better,athe. i go with anoro. ♪go your own way copd tries to say, "go this way." i say, "i'll go my own way" with anoro. ♪go your own way once-daily anoro contains two medicines called bronchodilators, that work together to significantly improve lung function all day and all night. anoro is not for asthma . it contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with as

and senator mccain just talked. and he said what was on his mind and he was honest and sometimes it got him in trouble. one time i was on the street talk express and he was saying that he could tell if someone was gay. so i did a story in "the washington post" about senator mccain's super gadar, and he took it with great grace. his aides said we didn't make any news today. he just talked and said what was on his mind. that's so rare. now that everything is scripted, and i think that's why people find president trump refreshing and we talked to both his voters and people go into this white house. they're used to white houses that are so constipated, that these meetings are set sessions and they're all based on talking points. you walk into this white house and for better or worse, this president says what's on his mind and asks you and listens. so there are advantages to what we're saying, the important thing is to just remember it's not normal. >> mike allen covers it by day, we cover it by night. thank you for stop

put john mccain in that category too. certainly not to be forgotten of equal praise are susan collins and lisa murkowski. they are amazing. women are in so many instances stronger than men. they brag less about it, but they are. and last night sort of proved that. as somebody who is in a family of strong women, i very much appreciate their strength, their courage, and their dedication to principle. despite the entreaties. where do we go from here? john mccain said it all on tuesday night. i hope this is a turning point. his speech when he returned to the senate and his vote last night and his actions in the last few days. do i hear an echo? you know, on health, we've got to shut that off, whoever is doing it. ok, thank you. on health care, i hope we can work together to make the system bet for the a bipartisan way. and i'm optimistic that that can and i'm optimistic that that can happen. i think at the very beginning we should stabilize the system. we should make permanent the cost-sharing which keeps people's premiums do

why did mccain vote no? why the thumbs down? essentially he didn't think that paul ryan and the house would be able to get something satisfactory through conference committee? >> reporter: that's essentially how he ended it. when he was walking out, he told reporters it was the right vote. in his statement, he made clear, this was all about getting to the conference committee. there was very real concern not just among the senators that voted no, but among almost all the senators in the conference that at some point the house would just pass this bare-bones bill. nobody was trying to act like this was repeal and replace. this was clearly a vehicle to get to conference. speaker of the house paul ryan said they were willing to get to conference. he thought that would be assurance enough. he -- it wasn't. in the end, john mccain saying it wasn't enough. the risk was too real that this would end up being passed into law. guys, that's exactly why he voted no. >> now they turn the page perhaps to tax reform. don't they have to let joh

what senator mccain was asking. afterwards senator mccain said he was up late watching baseball and that's one reason why he wasn't on his game then. but we're learning our colleague, dr. sanjay gupta, that the area of the brain that was affected doesn't have as much to do with memory loss but has more to do with the issue of attention, and senator graham, of course, nis not a physician, but clearly, wolf, noticing a significant difference from his friend after having that discussion with him yesterday, saying mccain wants to get back to washington. he does not know when he's going to get back, he said probably one to two weeks. and also uncertain about what has come back from the pathologists who are looking at what they removed as part of this surgery. they hope it's a blood clot and nothing more serious than that, though he doesn't know the answer to that question just yet. but significant here, wolf, in that he does sense there is a difference in john mccain and how he's acting. the words of lindsey graham, the

just a terrific american. >> john mccain has really been vintage john mccain in recent weeks. he's been the maverick once again. willing to buck his own party indeed. >> get well son. >>> new details about the meeting with donald trump jr. and a russian lawyer. live from moscow, next. only tylenol® rapid release gels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast, for fast pain relief. tylenol® parts a and b and want more coverage, guess what? you could apply for a medicare supplement insurance plan whenever you want. no enrollment window. no waiting to apply. that means now may be a great time to shop for an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. medicare doesn't cover everything. and like all standardized medicare supplement insurance plans, these help cover some of what medicare doesn't pay. so don't wait. call now to request your free decision guide. it could help you find the aarp medicare supplement plan that works for you. these types of plans have no networks, so you get to choose any doctor who accepts medicare

i think it has to do with the mccain/trump relationship and the unique position that mccain holds at this particular moment, not only with his reputation as a maverick, he certainly wants to solidify but also because of his health matter that he has recently revealed, now going back to arizona to start treatments on his brain cancer. that put him in a really unique spot. he sees that spot on tuesday with that big speech when he came back and laid forward the path here of why he did not agree with the process in the way this was happening. what i find really interesting, if you look at the history here, obviously donald trump, two years ago, made jaws drop in american politics when he took on john mccain and suggested he wasn't a war hero when he clearly was in many people's minds. yet, he was able to get past that and go on, win the nomination, the presidency. john mccain has a little bit of payback here because he clearly was the critical vote that derailed the president's top initiative. >> shelby, i want to get your take. it was a big moment when we heard then candidate trump crit

but john mccain, john mccain is one of the lucky ones. he does have a best friend in the senate. and that best friend is senator lindsey graham. >> i got a call from rick davis saying you know it's tough news and it is tough. talked to john. said yeah, i'm going to have to stay here a little bit longer. take some treatments and i'll be back. and we talked about five minutes you know, it's going to be a tough way forward but he says i've been through worse. and basically, then we started talking about health care and the nda. literally it wasn't five minutes until he turned away from what i think most people would have a hard time absorbing and focused on what he loves the best. so pray. i don't know god knows how this ends, not me. but i do know this. this disease is never had a more worthy opponent. >> john mccain's best friend in the senate. gets tonight's last word. "the 11th hour" with brian williams is next. >>> breaking news we're covering tonight, senator john mccain diagnosed with brain cancer. the former p.o.w., two-time presidential candidate announces the news just day

it's john mccain. i think it's no secret that mccain and trump have not exactly been allies, going back a couple years now. susan collins of maine was another severe critic of trump. so he hasn't repaired relationships. when you have such a tiny margin in the senate, every senator matters. he has not repaired the relationships with the senators he actually needs to pass his agenda. >> all right. so let's talk about how this dynamic plays out from here. you referred earlier to when mccain did that, you did hear a little bit of pleasant surprise. those were the democrats, but their leader, schumer, did put a cap on it somewhat uncharacteristically. why? because they've got proshs with the aca and need to figure out a way forward. let's hear to chuck schumer last night about what happened and m what it means. >> let's turn the page in another way. all of us were so inspired by the speech and the life of the senator from arizona. he asked us to go back to regular order, to bring back the senate that some o

yes, to vote john mccain. senator john mccain and ron johnson from wisconsin. the vote is 48-2. none of the democrats have voted. they are sitting on their hands, waiting for the rest of the republicans to vote. this is sweating out the numbers. if john mccain and johnson vote yea to proceed, then there will be vice president pence who is presiding over the senate currently, it will be the tiebreaker. you see how crucial it was for it senator john mccain to be back here in washington. every last vote counted, and the fact that after that surgery and he got back on the plane, he is back here, and now johnson and mccain are the final two. >> julie: john mccain coming back, it has not proven that he saved this thing. he really did. >> or he will kill it. >> julie: i believe, and you agree, he wants us to go to a debate. if you were to vote on let's say, the house bill, he would get es, but to move forward to a debate is something i have a feeling, if you want to happen as most do. no? >> i think you can expect them to vote yes, but again, i don't think we can say it until it happen

. >>> john mccain's cancer fight. the beloved senate maverick and american hero diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. tonight the outpouring and the prognosis for the battle ahead. >>> second thoughts. president trump's stinging attack on his own attorney general, saying he wouldn't have picked jeff sessions if he knew sessions would recuse himself from the russia investigation. >>> texting scam. an fbi warning. a new trick being deployed by cyber criminals stealing thousands of dollars with just one message to your smartphone. >>> and high anxiety. a spectacular new view on one of the wildest rides in the world.

great cheering on for john mccain tonight when he really needs it. >> yeah, and you know senator mccain is unlike anybody else in not -- not just in the senate but in american politics. he's unlike anybody else in american life in his public life and in his heroics in war. he's a singular figure in american life and american history, and i think for everybody who has ever had a political difference with him tonight, that just instantly evaporates in the face of wanting the best for him. >> and it's hard to think of him without thinking about what a ball of energy he is. >> yeah. >> i mean i remember when i was working in the senate, he just, you know, enters every room and went down every hallway at the highest speed possible and just, you know, was always that way. i think people saw that when he was running for president, that that's the way he handled everything. it's just that constant never let up attitude. >> yeah, and the whole straight talk thing, which he kind of turned into a slogan at one point in one of his presidential campaigns, you know, what that is is a symptom of someb

do these three, collins, murckowski and john mccain, obviously john mccain has to deal with his health care issues now. and he has been sort of a splinter in the side of others. mcconnell took a blow like he never took before. >> trump often talks about republicans kind of in the third person. his followers blame republicans on capitol hill and call them rhinos, while embracing donald trump as the standard-bearer of republicanism. paul ryan is under scrutiny, and mitch mcconnell, frankly, he will wake up and still see donald trump as a martyr. i do think the question of 2018 on the democratic side, i think nancy pelosi goes into 2018 as the leader of the democratic party but it will come with a lot of challenges. because a party led by nancy pelosi, even if you are selling mainstream economics that is a hard message to deliver that message in the counties and states that donald trump won just a year ago. so i think both teams face challenges, if they get it right they could take the house. i'm not sure if they get it right if they stick with nancy pelosi as the leader of the democratic

and you saw john mccain get on the elevator. didn't say anything. >> i think republicans have a strong chance to pass this tonight. procedurally, nothing happens in the morning. if this masses, tomorrow morning, obamacare is still the law. this has to go to a conference. this is moving the process along. what goes into the conference, will be the two bills that are different. and what comes out could be much on what we're seeing out of any chamber. there's a lot of focus on the cbo. that's irrelevant. this isn't going to be the final law. for people that are focused on that, i would almost throw that out. the conference committee is going to come up with different details and provisions. >> still, it is one more step in the process of repealing major health care in this country or -- and replacing it or not. this vote could happen at any moment. we're live again. we saw john mccain go in. this won't be the law of the land now. but certainly, they lose control of it once it leaves the senate. >> no. >> they do. >> there's senator

senator john mccain casting the deci

john mccain at the top of the list. he and i have been friends for a very long time, ever since the gang of eight, which we put together. and i have not seen a senator who speaks truth to power as strongly, as well and is recalled as john mccain. the very same courage he showed as a naval aviator in vietnam. he showed last night and has shown time and time again. he is just a wonderful man. i treasure his friendship and just the fact of knowing him. i've known a few great man in the senate. i put dedicated in that category and danny in a way and i put john mccain in the category also. and certainly not to be forgotten of equal praise our susan collins and lisa murkowski. they were amazing. and women are in some instances stronger than men. they brag less about it but they are, last night sort of proof of that. and as somebody who is in a family of strong women, i very much appreciate their strength, their courage and their dedication to principles, despite the entreaties. so where do we go from here? well, john mccain s

then pence was talking to mccain. mcconnell did not have the votes and the vice president was trying to change it. and they kept the vote open for over an hour. the clearest foreshadowing happened when mccain walked over to democrats. they were joking around and smiling. he even put his arm around diane feinstein. it was at 1:30. mukowski voted no. mccain didn't answer when his name was called. he talked about this seconds later and asked for the clearing's attention. >> mr. peters? >> as buzz feed noted, you can look at this one moment like a renaissance painting, what each person was doing when that third vote was asked. they did not know what happened before when they witness it. bernie sanders nudging the vote was coming. bob casey on his feet waiting in anticipation. and sherrod brown slapping the desk. and elizabeth warren leaning in to see what would happen and then unable to resist, cheering for mccain's vote. chuck schumer trying to quiet them with the audible gasps. and mitch mcconnell, arms folded, staring

but as we were sitting here watching the vice president and john mccain, as they were talking, john mccain walked away and patted the vice president on his hand and left behind standing there. it was interesting. body language. did you notice that? >> yeah, he kind of walked away. and the vice president was okay. >> so we're going to walk away, but just for a moment. don't go anywhere. we need to take a quick break. and we're going to continue to watch this vote. the vote is stalled on this skinny repeal of obamacare after multiple tries, multiple tries of trying to get this done. and here we are into the wee hours. and it's still not happening. but we're on top of it and we're going to bring to it you live. so don't go anywhere. we'll be right back. afi sure had a lot on my mind. my 30-year marriage... ...my 3-month old business... plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happ

for everybody who is part of the extended mccain family as i am, he is so much more than senator mccain. he is a friend. he is a mentor. he is a buddy. he is an adviser. he is a confidant, a critiquer. he is honest. he is blunt. he will open doors for you and tell you when you are making a mistake. i'm honored and proud to be part of that extended mccain family. i have so much faith in john. if there's one word he stands for, it's fight. he has never given up in his life. he has seen death in the eye so many times. i know john mccain is not afraid of death. i suspect he hates all this conversation going on. >> oh, i'm sure. >> i suspect he hates this tone and, you know, what he needs to do is get back in the game. he needs to get treatment and needs to get back in the game because every day that he is in the game, every day, he can make a difference, a difference in people's lives, a difference in this country's life. >> you have a quick term phrase yourself, what are you going to say to him next time you speak with him? >> really? did you really need this much attention? couldn't you h
