important anniversary for an exceptional american. 45 years ago yesterday our friend and colleague john mccain was released after more than five and a half years as a prisoner of war in vietnam. the hanoi hilton was a site of unspeakable brutality, but it was also a crucible of character where a brave patriot was tested and grew into a generational leader. here in the senate, we're not only grateful that john mccain was welcomed home, we are especially grateful that he answered yet another call to serve, bringing that leadership to this body for more than 30 years. his leadership, his example are as important today as they have ever been. now, mr. president, on another matter, yesterday the president named larry cudlow as the next head of the economic council. larry is well known as a happy warrior for pro-growth economics and widely respected for his expertise in fiscal policy. the country will be lucky to have larry serving in this role. i look forward to continued engagement with the white house team. it will now benefit from his insight. speaking of highly qualified personnel, here in the

correspondent claire which is and joins us now from washington clear entry mccain had been only from the f.b.i. since january and he was fired just over a day before he was due to retire why get rid of the now well for the very reason you said the timing certainly looks like the point of firing him a day before he was meant to receive a full pension is meant to be a callous act he stepped aside earlier this year and letting him go have an impact on whether he receives his pension now it's important to see this in the wider context of what's been going on in washington this week the city's been abuzz about who's going to be the next to go from trump's cabinet we've seen a string of high levels of partners most recently of course with secretary of state rex tillerson who was unceremoniously fired earlier this week by tweets and so everybody's been asking who is going to be the next one and it looks like it's an john mccain would you say that his firing was justified or as some people allege is it part of a strategy by donald trump to silence his critics. well trump certainly sees it as

very, very strong words from senator john mccain. jeff zeleny, our senior white house correspondent, is with us joining the panel as well. the president issued a relatively positive statement about putin and that deeply angered senator mccain. >> it certainly did. when you listen to the president's words there, it's so clear what he's not talking about. he's not talking about the sanctions issued by his own treasury department just last week. he's not talking about the attack that happened in the united kingdom there. he's talking as though he is a leader of a democracy somewhere else not given the context of russia. again, it falls on senator john mccain to recount the conversation. it reminds me of sarah sanders being asked the question was putin a friend or foe, and she really had a hard time answering that. he has never, or seldom, done any scolding at all for the bad things he's done. >> and the kremlin put out a phone conversation that the president had with president putin. the president never mentioned the poisoning of this e

david, back to john mccain, ana brought it up. john mccain former prisoner of war, vietnam, he, too, expressed his real concerns about haspel because of interrogation methods used during another, george w. bush administration. how influential might he be? he is still undergoing his medical challenges, while in arizona, but he has already proven to be influential even from afar. >> what john mccain has to say about national security matters in particular carries a lot of weight and the administration has to work to get haspel confirmed simply because the republicans have a very thin 51-49 majority and they cannot count on all of their members to vote for haspel's confirmation, and i think you're going to see a lot of democrats join with some republicans that are concerned about her role in enhanced interrogation techniques or torture, depending on how you want to look at it. i think on mike pompeo that rand paul will be someone on an island unto himself, because if you look at pompeo's record, he is an internationalist. he's a hawk

to which meghan mccain, daughter of john mccain replied "my father doesn't need torture explained to him." >> it's tough and personal and one of the most poignant and intense debates, policy debates i've covered was when i was on the hill and cover iing the pushback of his fellow republicans in the white house and the enhanced interrogation techniques dick cheney, liz cha cha cheney's father, was a big proponent of that. having said that, having followed john mccain particularly and knowing some of the details about the way he was tortured when he was in the hanoi hilton when he was held prisoner for five and a half years he says over and over it doesn't work and he knows as megan eluded to firsthand so at the end of the day this is going to be revisited because we are 17 years after -- almost 17 years after 9/11. people are looking at it from a little bit more perspective and without the innate fear that everybody had post-9/11 and gina haspel, the new nominee to be cia director, is going to have to answer important questions and how she answers those questions could make or break w

twitter account always hyper sensitive to all things putin blew up it was mccain teed off president trump insulted every russian citizen he was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election to determine the country's future probably best not to show mccain the margin by which putin won he's old and frail but twitter o'boy twitter do not can gradually.

. >> to republican senator john mccain, that was unacceptable. mccain said in a statement today, "an american president does not lead the free world by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections and by doing so," mccain says "with vladimir putin, president trump insulted every russian citizen, including the countless russian patriots who risked so much to protest and resist putin's regime." there is a lot the president did not say to putin. in his own description of that phone call, president trump makes no mention of russia's assault on the united states or that recent alleged poisoning of a former russian spy in the uk. so just to be sure reporters at the white house ask eed press secretary sarah huckabee sanders if president trump held putin accountable for anything. >> did the president not raise the issue of russian next meddling in that phone call? >> i don't believe it came up on the specific call. >> i'm curious, did the recent poisoning in the united kingdom come up in the call? >> i don't believe that was discussed in today's ca

i'm not sure they took on john mccain again there. bottom line, the president not willing to go there. >> what's so interesting, too, brooke, this used to be a party that confronted the russians and but for john mccain and a few other sometimes, lindsey graham tweeted yesterday about it being a sham election. something, actually, pretty aggressive. but for just a handful of them really, who in the republican party stands up at moments like this and confronts vladimir putin anymore? they've gone silent in the face of trump's silence. that is a huge turnaround, the early vetting trump's cabinet in the hearings for rex tillerson and others they took a tough line on this. in the months and year that's followed they've got pretty mute on it. >> at least those who aren't leaving president they've got mute especially the president taking on bob mueller, the special counsel. the briefing was on this mueller probe and sarah sanders was asked about trump's tweets over the weekend where really for the first time he took on bob mueller, calling h

very strong words from senator mccain. >> senator mccain is ill and frail but he is not holding back when it comes to speaking out about this president and what he sees as egregious behavior. john brennan, i want to ask you a couple quick questions. first of all, you thought it was possible that the russians had something on donald trump. director of the c.i.a. until 2017, is that speculation or are you talking with information? >> no. i'm saying that perhaps the russians have something and that's why mr. trump is concerned. mr. trump knows better than any one of us whether or not the russians may have something on him. so, i think it's very difficult to try to explain his behavior and why he has taken this position vis-a-vis vladimir putin personally, so one can again speculate that maybe there's something there. >> you've worked for six american presidents, both republican and democrat. have you ever spoken out in the way that you are doing now against one of your former bosses? >> no. this is the second time that i've retired. the first time i didn't speak out at all. i said some

it was announced by the department of justice that andrew mccain has been fired the u.s. attorney general jeff sessions put out a statement saying that this is because he released information that should not have been released inside the f.b.i. to a reporter and that when he was questioned about it by investigators within the f.b.i. sessions said that mccabe miss led those investigators those are two big offenses inside the f.b.i. and so sessions said that he has made the decision to dismiss him immediately well obviously this is something that andrew mccabe strongly disagrees with almost the moment his firing was announced he had already talked to the new york times i'm going to read a couple of quotes from that statement to the new york times first he said the idea that i was being dishonest or was dishonest is just wrong he said adding quote this is part of an effort to discredit me as a witness and that means that he would be talking to robert muller the special counsel who was looking into whether there was any cooperation between russia and specifically the russian

president trump, that was last week at cpac, attacking senator john mccain who is being treated for a severe form of brain cancer over health care which incited boos from the crowd. yesterday, several members of mccain's family, they hit back. >> i understand the argument is he is talking about policy and that's the attack, but it's still incredibly hurtful, especially after i've had this conversation with him on the phone, to have this moment of booing at cpac, which is supposed to be the mothership of conservatism and the republican party and just sort of see booing at this specific moment in time is incredibly hurtful. >> we need more compassion. we need more empathy. we need more togetherness in terms of working together. we don't need more bullying. and i'm tired of it. >> mccain is hitting back there. >>> the body of billy graham is set to be part the u.s. capital later this morning. president trump, vice president pence and congressional leaders gathered in the rotunda of the kil capital yesterday morning to pay their respects to graham who died last week at the age of 99. grah

senator and chair richard burr has given haspel his support and senator john mccain who was tortured in vietnam says her confirmation should include a pledge to block any plan to reintroduce harsh interrogations. martha? >> martha: trace, thank you very much. my next guest sits on the house intelligence committee where he worked closely with mike pompeo before he became cia director. congressman pete king joins us now. good to see you this evening. obviously, one of the biggest reactions today. i think everybody sort of saw this coming. rex tillerson has even said in interviews, you know, i'm still here. but it felt in recent weeks as if he felt he was settling in. and yesterday he said, you know, word was out that he felt that he was going to be an integral part of the north korean talks. he appeared to be somewhat blind sided by this. >> apparently he was. again, i'm not familiar with what went on behind the scenes. i know for the last six or seven months. there was really this constant talk that rex tillerson was going to be stepping down and leaving the state department. he is ve
