>> LAST NIGHT AT THIS HOUR, WE BROUGHT YOU THE FIRST REPORT OF
JOHN McCAIN'S SPEECH IN PHILADELPHIA IN WHICH HE
ATTACKED TRUMPISM LAST NIGHT WITHOUT EVER MENTIONING
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NAME. AND OF COURSE, DONALD TRUMP
REACTED TO THAT TODAY IN HIS SMALL-MINDED AND ALWAYS UGLY
WAY. AND TRUMP HIMSELF DESCRIBED HIS
REACTION AS UGLY. BEFORE WE SHOW YOU THE TRUMP
REACTION, LET'S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE PORTION OF SENATOR
McCAIN'S SPEECH IN WHICH HE DEFINED THE ESSENCECE OF TRUMPI
WHILE RAILING AGAINST IT. >> TO ABANDON THE IDEALS WE HAVE
ADVANCED AROUND THE GLOBE, TO REFUSE THE OBLIGATIONS OF
INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND OUR DUTY TO REMAIN THE LAST BEST
HOPE OF EARTH FOR THE SAKE SOLVE SOME HALF BAKED, SPURIOUS
NATIONALISM COOKED UP BY PEOPLE WHO WOULD RATHER FIND SCAPEGOATS
THAN SOLVE PROBLEMS. >> AND HERE IS HOW THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES RESPONDED TO THAT TODAY IN A RADIO
INTERVIEW. >> YOU HEARD WHAT HE SAID
YESTERDAY, SENATOR McCAIN. >> YEAH, WELL, I HEAR IT.
PEOPLE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE AT SOME POINT I FIGHT
BACK, YOU KNOW. I'M BEING VERY NICE.
I'M BEING VERY, VERY NICE. BUT AT SOME POINT I FIGHT BACK,
AND IT WON'T BE PRETTY. >> IT WON'T BE PRETTY.
IT IS A COMMENT LIKE THAT THAT WILL ALWAYS BRING TO MIND THE
TRUMP CABINET MEMBER SECRETARY OF STATE REX TILLERSON WHO HAS
BEEN QUOTED AS CALLING THE PRESIDENT A MORON.
AND THE WONDER OF THE MORON STORY, THE MOST AMAZING THING
ABOUT THE MORON STORY IS THAT AT 270 DAYS INTO THE TRUMP
PRESIDENCY, ONLY ONE CABINET MEMBER HAS BEEN QUOTED AS
CALLING THE PRESIDENT A MORON. ONLY ONE.
THE PRESIDENT WHO SAYS WHEN HE FIGHTS BACK AGAINST JOHN McCAIN,
IT WON'T BE PRETTY. ONLY ONE.
THE FIVE AND A HALF YEARS JOHN McCAIN SPENT AS A PRISONER OF
WAR IN NORTH VIETNAM WERE NOT PRETTY.
AND EVERY DAY THAT JOHN McCAIN WAS IN THAT PRISON IN NORTH
VIETNAM, DONALD TRUMP WAS EVADING SERVICE IN THE MILITARY
AND POSSIBLE ASSIGNMENT TO VIETNAM WITH THE KIND OF NOTE
FROM A DOCTOR THAT RICH KIDS IN THOSE DAYS WERE OBTAINING TO
CLAIM PHYSICAL DISABILITIES THAT MADE THEM UNFIT FOR SERVICE.
AND NOW WE HAVE A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, A COMMANDER
IN CHIEF WHO PSYCHIATRISTS ARE SAYING ARE UNFIT FOR SERVICE.
THEY HAVE A NOTE ABOUT THIS PRESIDENT NOW.
IN DONALD TRUMP'S CASE, HIS DOCTORS NOTE TO KEEP HIM OUT OF
VIETNAM WAS ABOUT A SORE FOOT. HE DOESN'T HAVE TO TELL US THAT
IT WON'T BE PRETTY. HE NEVER HAS TO TELL US THAT IT
WON'T BE PRETTY WHEN HE NEXT ATTACKS JOHN McCAIN BECAUSE
NOTHING DONALD TRUMP EVER DOES IS PRETTY.
AND WE'VE SEEN HIM ATTACK JOHN McCAIN BEFORE.
>> HE'S A WAR HERO. HE IS A WAR HERO.
>> HE IS A WAR HERO. >> HE IS A WAR HERO BECAUSE HE
WAS CAPTURED. I LIKE PEOPLE THAT WEREN'T
CAPTURED. I HAVE TO TELL YOU.
>> IT WON'T BE PRETTY. KASIE HUNT CAUGHT UP WITH JOHN
McCAIN TODAY AND GOT HIS REACTION TO THE PRESIDENT'S
THREAT. >> MR. TRUMP SAID ON THE RADIO,
I HEARD AND PEOPLE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE AT SOME POINT I
FIGHT BACK. AT SOME POINT I WILL FIGHT BACK,
AND IT WON'T BE PRETTY. TALKING ABOUT YOU.
>> I DON'T COMMENT ON WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAYS.
I COMMENT ON WHAT HE DOES. AND I WILL SAY THAT I HAVE FACED
SOME PRETTY TOUGH ADVERSARIES IN THE PAST.
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN CONFRONTING THE PRESIDENT.
I'M INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH THE PRESIDENT.
>> THAT ISS WHAT DIGNITY SOUNDS LIKE.
THAT IS WHAT PROFESSIONALISM SOUNDS LIKE IN SOMEONE SERVING
IN GOVERNMENT. THOSE ARE ALIEN CONCEPTS TO
DONALD TRUMP. DIGNITY AND PROFESSIONALISM.
AND SO DONALD TRUMP CONTINUES TO DAMAGE HIS WHITE HOUSE, DAMAGE
HIS PRESIDENCY, DAMAGE HIS LEGISLATIVE AGENDA BY ATTACKING
AND THREATENING SENATORS LIKE JOHN McCAIN, WHOSE VOTES HE WILL
NEED IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING IN CONGRESS.
JOHN McCAIN JUST WON REELECTION TO A SIX-YEAR TERM.
HE IS 81 YEARS OLD. HE WILL NOT BE RUNNING FOR
ANOTHER TERM. AT 87 YEARS.
AND NOW THAT JOHN McCAIN HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH BRAIN
CANCER, HE MAY NOT COMPLETE HIS TERM.
AND SO JOHN McCAIN IS NOT PLAYING THE KIND OF GAMES THAT
REPUBLICAN SENATORS USUALLY HAVE TO PLAY WITH FOX NEWS.
WATCH WHAT HAPPENED TODAY. AFTER KASIE HUNT ASKED HER
QUESTION THAT YOU JUST SAW AND GOT THE ANSWER THAT YOU JUST
SAW, AND THEN THE FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT ASKED A QUESTION
THAT COMPLETELY IGNORED WHAT SENATOR McCAIN HAD JUST SAID.
WE'RE GOING BACK UP THIS VIDEO A LITTLE BIT SO THAT YOU CAN HEAR
SENATOR McCAIN SAY ONCE AGAIN IN A CALM AND SANE, PROFESSIONAL
TONE, I AM INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH THE PRESIDENT.
THOSE ARE THE LAST WORDS SENATOR McCAIN SAYS.
BEFORE THE FOX NEWS QUESTION. AND YOU REALLY, REALLY HAVE TO
WATCH THIS ANSWER. >> I'M NOT INTERESTED IN
CONFRONTING THE PRESIDENT. I'M INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH
THE PRESIDENT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
TIME, SIR. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
>> JUST A QUICK QUESTION. HAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
PRESIDENT FRAYED TO THE POINT THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO
SUPPORT ANYTHING THAT HE COMES TO YOU AND ASKS FOR?
>> WHY WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING THAT STUPID?
WHY WOULD YOU ASK SOMETHING THAT DUMB, HUH?
MY JOB AS A UNITED STATES SENATOR IS A SENATOR FROM
ARIZONA, WHICH I WAS JUST REELECTED TO.
YOU MEAN THAT I AM SOMEHOW GOING TO BEHAVE IN A WAY THAT I'M
GOING BLOCK EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF SOME PERSONAL DISAGREEMENT?
THAT'S A DUMB QUESTION. >> THANKS, GUYS.
THANK YOU. >> THANKS.
>> THAT'S A DUMB QUESTION. I COULD JUST WATCH JOH JOHN McC
WALK AWAY AFTER SAYING THAT'S A DUMB QUESTION ALL NIGHT.
I COULD JUST WATCH THAT VIDEO ALL NIGHT, BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE
THERE, WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS A SENATOR WHO IS NOT PLAYING FOX
NEWS' GAME ANYMORE. NOT PLAYING THE TRUMP NEWS
NETWORK'S GAME ANY MORE. THAT'S A DUMB QUESTION.
IF YOU'RE A STUDENT OF THE SENATE, THERE ARE FEW THINGS
MORE EXQUISITE TO WATCH THAN THE SENATOR WHO KNOWS HE HAS NOTHING
TO LOSE. JOHN McCAIN IS NOT THE ONLY ONE.
THE REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN OF THE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE BOB
CORKER IS NOT RUNNING FOR REELECTION.
AND HE SAID TODAY THAT HE STANDS BY EVERY NEGATIVE WORD THAT HE
HAS SAID ABOUT THE PRESIDENT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS,
INCLUDING THE LINE ABOUT THE WHITE HOUSE BEING AN ADULT
DAY-CARE CENTER AND THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS US, QUOTE, ON THE
PATH TOWARD WORLD WAR III. SENATOR CORKER SAYS "MY THOUGHTS
WERE WELL THOUGHT OUT. LOOK, I DIDN'T JUST BLURT THEM
OUT." AND THAT INCLUDES SENATOR
CORKER'S COMMENT ABOUT THE CASTRATION OF THE SECRETARY OF
STATE. LAST WEEK SENATOR CORKER TOLD
"THE WASHINGTON POST," YOU CANNOT PUBLICLY CASTRATE YOUR
OWN SECRETARY OF STATE. AND THAT PROVOKED THIS EXCHANGE
WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE ON SUNDAY.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE SENATOR
CALLING -- SUGGESTING YOU'VE BEEN GELDED BEFORE THE WORLD,
IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT BOTHERS YOU?
>> I CHECKED. I'M FULLY INTACT.
>> THE SECRETARY OF STATE IS PREPARED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION
TO SAY THAT HE HAS CHECKED ABOUT HIS CASTRATION.
BUT IN THAT VERY SAME INTERVIEW, AS WE SHOWED YOU LAST NIGHT,
DESPITE JAKE TAPPER'S REPEATED ATTEMPTS, REX TILLERSON REFUSED
TO DENY THAT HE CALLED THE PRESIDENT A MORON.
AND REX TILLERSON KNOWS THAT EVERY TIME HE REFUSES TO DENY
CALLING THE PRESIDENT A MORON, HE IS ONCE AGAIN IN EFFECT
CALLING THE PRESIDENT A MORON. AS HE DID REPEATEDLY IN THAT
INTERVIEW YESTERDAY -- ON SUNDAY.
THIS CASTRATION THING, THIS IS REPUBLICAN TALK.
REPUBLICAN MEN ARE NOW ON RECORD IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO TALKING
ABOUT MALE GENITALIA MORE THAN IS NORMAL IN AMERICAN POLITICS
BECAUSE NORMAL IN AMERICAN POLITICS IS EXACTLY ZERO
REFERENCES TO MALE GENITALIA. THAT IS WHAT IS NORMAL.
BUT THE AGE OF TRUMP HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING IN REPUBLICAN
POLITICS, AND LIKE DONALD TRUMP SAYS, IT'S NOT PRETTY.
>> HE REFERRED TO MY HANDS. IF THEY'RE SMALL, SOMETHING ELSE
MUST BE SMALL. I GUARANTEE YOU THERE IS NO
PROBLEM. I GUARANTEE YOU.
>> THE ONE THING, THE ONE THING THAT DONALD TRUMP NEVER HAS TO
TELL US IS THAT THE NEXT THING HE'S GOING TO DO WON'T BE
PRETTY.
