john mccain was 72 years old. barack obama was in his mid-4. - i think what happened in 2008 was when it was clear that barack obama-- well, if it had been barack o it would have been a game-changer, either the first woman or the first african-american minee of a major party. so i think mccaln felt, as a white m that he had to show that he was, you know, just as open and diverse as anybody else. - you go to the dnc in denver, and it is epic. epic, right. they build basically the white house right in invesco field outside. and turns out that all the hillary supporters come right along. the'd been all that anxiet that the hillary supporters wouldn't come. everyone in the world is focused on denver and obama-biden foey32 minutes until nnounce... - the next vice president of the united states, governor sarah palin of the great state of alaska. [cheers and applause] - sarah palin is the vice presidential candidate for john mccain and the world goes, "who?" i was in denver and i watched every light, camera, and all the

but, of course, then along came john mccain. - senator mccain launched the "straight talk express" and started getting a lot of attention in n hampshire and started, you know, this freewheeling 24-hour-a-day press conference on hisus. - senator, how do you reconcile the fact that you were one of the most vocal critics on pork barrel politics. and yet, while you were chairman of that committee set a record for unauthorized appropriations? i'm just kidding. no, i domet even know what thas. - he was sort of the one that was appealing to the frustrations of people who were only hearing from ri candidates who were ed and who had talking points and, you know, who were of the establishment. and john mccain famously talked off the cuff. - and it is the beginning of the end for the truth twisting politics of bill clinton and al gore. [cheers] 2000, mccain was ahead of the curve. he wanted nothing to do with the republican leadership. mccain did not see eye to eye with the standard republdean conservative lhip. e did things his own way. and i think he had a power base that he could demonstrate w

but senator mccain, he was a lot like goldwater in so many ways. steve: the goldwater legacy in the country, and in the republican party, what is it? senator flake: rugged individualism, libertarian leaning, independent conservatism. kind of shortened as arizona conservatism, i guess, where you obviously believe in principles of limited government, economic freedom, individual responsibility, but with a maverick flair, i guess. steve: you will walk out these doors for final time in december. what do you think you will be thinking? senator flake: that this has been a real honor and a privilege. i am not leaving because i do not like the institution or the people. this is a wonderful system that we have here. it is a system that is so good that it corrects the foibles of all of us who make our way through it. so i will leave here with more respect for the institution that an i came here with, and with a real appreciation for the friendships that i have had on both sides of the aisle. just wonderful people here, i hope that we can get along better and

we can do this differently for our country, for our future, for senator mccain and for each other. i think we must. thank you. >> she won the seat currently occupied by jeff flake in arizona, but she did mention senator mccain more than once in her victory speech tonight. the votes are still being counted in the senate race in florida tonight. but a recount is under way in the senate election and in the governor's election. the senate election is the closer of the two, and republicans are going with their standard play book in florida of claiming fraud. the president has said that no votes should now be counted after election night last week. that means mailed-in votes by military personnel would not be counted under the latest trump version of how to conduct an election. and so the country's eyes turn once again to florida for another dramatic recount. and that is why msnbc's in-house election lawyer ari melber is in florida tonight. but first here to talk about the democrat's big win in arizona, an msnbc contributor. and john heilemann, national affairs analyst for nbc news and m

as a moving memorial service for senator john mccain last month, both former presidents paid him such inspiring tributes. both george w. bush and barack obama noted that john mccain would often disagree with someone on some fundamental matters, yet work together with that person on other fundamental matters. as obama explained, this was because mccain always viewed those he disagreed with not as enemies but as occasional opponents who ultimately were on the same side. as mccain himself put it in his farewell letter to all of us, "we are 325 million opinionated , vociferous individuals. we argue and compete, and sometimes even vilified each publicn our raucous debates, but we always have had so much more in common with each .ther than in disagreement if only we remember that, and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country, we will get through these challenging times. we will come through them stronger than we always do." this collaborative spirit, stressing what unites us rather than divides us, this embodies my hope for improved campus free-speech cult

, even after john mccain passed away. i had a conversation with a farmer and a veteran in west virginia who said, well, john mccain shouldn't have not been captured. he wasn't really a hero. who cares, he shouldn't have talked about president trump. it's not only president trump can make these arguments and pick any fight he wants. it's the fact that there are people who will stick by him tloult a throughout all of this ordeal. when i heard what he was saying about this general, i went back to the another of president trump also getting into a fight with a gold star family. there was that family whose son died serving the military, and the president was relentless with that family. so this is a president who is, as soon as he perceives any sort of threat, his strategy that he thinks is working, his strategy that he thinks will carry him to 2020 is to be strong in his mind, and that means to never let down his rhetoric. >> it also seems, too, yamiche, i said throw it right back in their face. but it also seems part of the

his widow, cindy mccain, is carrying on his work as chair of the mccain institute, a think—tank focused on international security issues. 0ur reporter yalda hakim recently caught up with mrs mccain, and asked about her husband's legacy, what he would make of the current divisions in america, and what it was like to be married to someone regarded as a maverick. when the news came of his passing there was this extraordinary by partisan outpouring. why do you think the nation acted that way?m many ways he was the conscious of the senate and the country. people recognised him for his ability to work across the aisle and his belief in doing so. also, his willingness to debate but not de—mine, as a result of differences. i believe we have lost those ideas forever, right now, if that makes sense. he represented so much for the country in the hope we swing back and recognise the importance of what john was doing. it was like a great president had died. and yet, the president had died. and yet, the president was not there. you have to remember, even though it was a public funeral, we are still

senator mccain still be here. we all know that was a huge loss for everybody around the table and everybody in the senate. as a matter of fact, senator mccain once sat in this seat from 1995 to 1997, as well as senator inhofe, who is now the chairman of the committee, so i think it's just something we should all recognize and be cognizant of. i am particularly pleased that we have my ranking member who is a good friend, senator kaine, and a great panel this morning in terms of the secretary of the air force, secretary heather wilson, the chief of staff of the air force mr. goldfein, and mr. john pendleton, the director of defense capabilities and management for the government accountability office, i want to welcome our witnesses. it has been almost six months since this committee received testimony from the air force on its current posture and support of the fy-19 budget. as i mentioned prior to that, in those six months a lot has happened. >> the ndaa was passed with $716 billion in authorized funding and didn't

and romney, talking about his being the mccain of -- mccain basically destroyed the effort to get rid of obamacare by one vote. lou: basically he did it. >> we don't need another one. it would have been easy to elect somebody in utah. not exactly a liberal northwest state. lou: it's getting more so. >> he wanted the president's endorsement, the president was generous and endorsed him. and my sense is mitt romney gets out there and wants to be the new john mccain, there are a lot of us that are concerned that they'll attack him for whatever form we may have. lou: the republican party seems to be at an existential juncture. you've got idiots like sew many of those in leadership, in both the senate and the house, working against the president, actively and vigorously. if they did their jobs with half as much energy, much could be done by the hill. but they don't have that. and they don't have -- you know, frankly, i can't even imagine why there is such a thing as a republican party right now because you're watching this kind of nonsense. mitt romney come in, paul ryan going out. all of i

beyond fast. >>> snarlt john mccain's widow speaking out. she did not for being captured during the vietnam war. this is what she told the bbc. it hurt the family too. he, you know, everyone -- and he hurt the other men that served with don as well. it wasn't just about him. it was all of the other people. i'm the wife. that's my per og ftive. i don't have. >> at one point joking that her husband probably would have thought that his funeral lasted way too long. also mccain, the mother saying she was so proud of her mother's fiery speech even though she didn't know what she would say ahead of time. >> i think he is questioning himself right now. i think maybe the things that have occurred with this election may be taken back to basics. i'm hoping that it is very humbling to lose. i hope he learns from it. our country needs leader, not a negative nancy. >> many thought cindy mccain should take the seat. did you ever talk about that? >> did you ever think about it? >> i have been approached from a bunch of different directions. my job right now

i grew up around john mccain all my life. i circulated brochures for him in his 1st campaign in phoenix in the early 80s and when i left yuma, he was one of my last interviews. we did all border story with senator mccain and i said i'm going to south carolina, we might not see each other again for a while and 6 years later i got a phone call and it was mccain and i'm coming to greenville, you want to follow along and we drove up and for 2 years i saw john mccain more in south carolina and i ever did in arizona as he campaigned for that nomination and ended up winning that primary. so that was an amazing election cycle and i thought i wanted to write a book about that but it wasn'tquite enough so my career took me to columbus ohio which was the epicenter of battleground states . the state where i was born and know a lot about. and columbus was the place to be for the 2012 election, covering obama and romney as they tripped around trying to win votes and john mccain stamping for mint jeanne safer and now back inarizona writing

that's right senator john mccain he passed away two months ago of brain cancer he was much beloved here in his home state of arizona he represented the state for decades never winning with a less than double digits and now the two women who are vying to become the new senators of this new senator of arizona have both tried to cast themselves in mccain's mold early on in the campaigns the republican nominee. sally she tried to highlight the fact that she was also a fighter pilot like mccain while her while her challenger cure system of the democrat has said that she is a moderate independent a maverick like senator mccain however i have to say that was earlier on in the campaign in the last few weeks will be really seen that race tightened to the point where it's now neck and neck there has been less discussion about mccain's legacy and speaking with voters here in arizona no one has really mentioned him to me and so what they are talking about is immigration and the fact that trump was here as long as well as other rallies across the country using that divisive rhetoric calling a carava

. >> we hear from cindy mccain speaking out publicly. here's what she had to say about president trump suggesting john mccain wasn't a war hero because he was captured. >> words hurt when the president said he wasn't a war hero. >> it hurt the family too. you know, he hurt the other men that served with john, that were in prison as well. it wasn't just about john, it was all about the other people. so i think that was a wrong thing to say, and, you know, i don't know if i'll ever get over it, i'll be honest. i'm the wife. that's my prerogative, i don't have to. >> general, quickly, if you will, what's your reaction? >> same as hers. anybody who has been captured and served time as a prisoner of war understands the challenges associated with it. i think every single military person that had heard him make that comment about senator mccain. you don't have to agree with mccain's ideology, many of us did not but you have to honor the kind of suffering he went through over five years, two years in solitary confinement being tortured. it's inc
