he wasaa john mccain, he's fine. i like john mccain. i know he says that i called john mccain all sorts of names. i call everybody names. actually, the person i called the names is jeb because jeb isn't in favor of common core. in other words, children have to be taken care of from washington. he's weak on immigration. look at these things. remember he said -- it was on your show, i saw it. they come as an act of love, immigration on -- you remember the thing on -- let's see, write down one other thing here. the texas stadium when he talks about the taking of land. they used -- the bush family used the taking of land privately, eminent domain on texas stadium. you look at this guy and -- it's absolutely amazing. he didn't know -- he didn't know that they used private -- they used -- they privatized it. he didn't know it. but they used it on texas stadium, having to use eminent domain. he didn't know it. on top of it, he spent over $100 million, and he's a failed candidate, a laughingstock.

number one i never called john mccain a loser as you know. i like john mccain. and supported john mccain. because the he got caught. to ape certain extent. i said he was ape hero. because he got caught. if you remember. he lied when he made that up. leo. i don't know who leo is. making some other name. probably an american hero. american hero. made that up. and honestly. >> another pow. >> you look at the fact, look at the fact. yeah, i just don't know him, charlie. never made a comment about him. never said that about john mccain. look at jeb. a loser. spent $110 million so far. at the bottom of the pack. going nowhere. the only thing he does is attack me. he thinks if he attacks me that will show he is tough. every time he attacks me. melts like butter. just a guy. really sad. every time i see an ad about myself. it is him, spending a lot of money. special interest. money. he spends money from the lobbyist and special interest to attack me. i don't see him going anywhere. last thing we need is another bush. >> story out of new hampshire so far is one that you

john mccain is a hero over and out. mccain weighing in a few moments ago took a minute to you. >> it's been so disappointing to see some presidential candidates engaged in loose talk on the campaign trail about reviving water boarding and other inhumane interrogation techniques. it might be easy to dismiss this blusterous cheap campaign rhetoric. these statements must not go unanswered. >> he says those statements must go not unanswered. hou how would you respond back? >> jeb bush is a weak candidate who is somebody in favor of common core and weak on immigration. >> we want to change your -- >> he's a very weak candidate. as far as john mccain is concerned when you say weekend water board they can job off the heads of christians and everybody in the middle east as far as they want. i think that's pretty known. i'm totally in favor of water boarding. >> i think john mccain is fine. i think haez not done a good job for veterans. i go around and i'm the most popular for veterans. john mccain is a nice man but not effectiv

now you hear from senator graham the window is closed and from senat senator mccain you hear this is not a plan, there are no real specifics on cost, on the actual site where you might transfer these detainees, there's no plan for each of the detainees. there's no plan for what to do about future law of war detainees so whams if you capture another big-name terrorist on the battlefield, where do you put them? the white house says because statute and legislation congress has passed their hands were in some ways ties, for instance, when it comes to coming up with a detailed plan about a specific u.s. site, for instance, congress has stood in the way. the bottom line here is that you're seeing pushback from congress even from people who in the past supported a plan to close guantanamo bay and even though the white house says they're still hoping to have conversations continue it's not looking good. kate? >> athena jones, thanks so much. we will see where this goes. appreciate it very much. >>> we have more breaking news to bring to you right now about a mobl supreme court nomination as

senator mccain has looked at waste inside the pentagon. it is wonderful that the idea that senator coburn had is proliferating among senators and even congressman, for example steve russell is getting this information out to the public. the more that this is publicized, the easier it is to keep making the case that something needs to be done against wasteful spending. members of the transportation committee love to spend money. they need to be reminded that there is still waste. brian: a u.s. air force contract with nascar totaling nearly $1.6 million including autograph sessions with a driver at an air force recruiting booth, meet and greets and other appearances by richard petty and richard petty drive along experience right along. thomas: this is an example of john mccain and jeff bringing up this kind of expenditure and the pentagon is now not spending this money. this is one where they really looked at it and said --why is the pentagon sponsoring events? it turned out they were paying to have the pentagon come to these events. if the

senator mccain: fine, thank you. i' m sorry i am not up there in part of the fight, you most exciting time of any campaign. i agree with a lot of the views that were just expressed. i was listening to it. if you take away new hampshire' s you will be enhancing dramatically the role of money, and that' s not good. people in new hampshire do not care about money. you can' t buy a vote in new hampshire. they want to see you, they want to touch you. you know that joke about a guy in concord, what do you think about most udall for president, and he said, i don' t know. i only met him twice. the reason that is funny is it is true. what percent are still saying they are undecided? 30%, 40%, something like that? josh: on the republican side, 55% now, senator. you got that right. washington, d.c., we have a couple candidate saying there are voices in washington though that do what new hampshire to not have two disproportionate a say in this. what are you hearing outside of the borders of the state? senator mccain: i just don'

who he has on board, john weaver is a political strategist who helped john mccain do that. the question is whether or not they can continue. >> let's bring in the editor and the challenge for john mccain 16 years ago was you've won moderates in new hampshire. >> what's interesting the john kasich narrative as he does well here in new hampshire, but what's next. sara's absolutely right, the whole play for kasich is let's go to the midwest, let's go on my home turf, let me talk the talk that those folks understand and i'll be okay. the problem is that's far away for him to do so, although i did get a note from a top kasich adviser that said listen, you say we don't have a game in place. we've won states. we have a good team in place, don't count us out, but to the point of what happens between ted cruz now and donald trump and john kasich and here comes jeb bush, we now what was going to be three people coming out of new hampshire and now we have a free for all and i think what we're going to see a replay of what we saw in iowa play out in south carolina. we're hearing from t

his ground game in new hampshire is better than mccain's, and i was here twice with mccain. about 40% of the new hampshire voters are undecided. i think they're coming our way tonight. a guy that seemed to understand who he was, a man of accomplishment, the temperament to be commander in chief on day one is a great night for governors, a good night for jeb. so we'll do well in new hampshire and when we go to south carolina, jeb bush is going to shine. >> last question. i always liked you, of course. everybody likes lindsey graham. >> oh, no, they don't. >> is this your heart talking or your head talking when you say jeb's going to win south carolina? >> here's what i say. i think jeb -- the bushes are really well liked in south carolina. the bush family is respected in south carolina. we have the highest percentage of veterans of any state in the nation. i think being ready to be commander in chief on day one really matters and trump seems like a bull in the china shop. not a good night for marco. what you saw tonight in new hampshire will play very well in south carolina. t
