Look at her track record. She'll, she works. She'll get, she'll put in the time, but most importantly, she'll bring everyone together. She'll bring that moderation that, that bipartisanship that we've been missing for so long. She'll bring it back and welcome back to square off. That was Jim mccain, late Republican Senator John mccain's youngest son and a Maverick himself. He's registered as a Democrat. And you heard mccain endorsing democrat, Kamala Harris for President Jim mccain is now 36 the father of two young sons, a combat veteran like his dad and he still deploys with the Arizona National Guard. I sat down with Jim mccain last week to talk about his planned vote for Harris mccain told me that Donald Trump campaign's conduct at Arlington National Cemetery a few weeks ago was the tipping point for him. Jim mccain had just returned to Arizona from a National Guard deployment to a Mideast base a few months before he arrived at the base, three dozen guard members had been wounded by a drone attack to be in a place where things like that are happening and then to come home and you know, the first week, I'm back. This is what I see what mccain saw was the Donald Trump campaign, apparently shooting a video with gold star families at Arlington National Cemetery. The fact of the matter is, is that the United States army has, has a rule, you don't politicize Arlington and the fact that it was, it's a violation. Arlington is the resting place for several mccain's three generations of mccain's are buried there. It would be four, but my father's buried at Annapolis. You know, it, it's, it's a sacred place to me personally. You know, it's a, it's a sacred place for all veterans. Senator John mccain's funeral service at Washington National Cathedral was six years ago. This week. There's no playbook on grief. I miss my father every day. If he were alive today, what would the former Republican presidential nominee have said about his Democratic son? Good job, Jimmy. What was that? Good job, good job, Jimmy. You're saying your dad would have approved, forge your own path. Do what you think is right? I mean, you know, those, those values are still here in America. We just have to get them. And that drone attack at the tower 22 base where Jim mccain was later deployed, killed three National Guard soldiers from Georgia and injured 33 from Arizona. You can click on the 12 news youtube channel to see my full interview with Jim mccain, including what he thinks his father would have said about a Democratic son, Donald Trump's running mate, Ohio. Senator JD Vance thinks he knows what John mccain would have said about Kamala Harris. Even though Vance never met the man. Here's Vance's response to a reporter at a Phoenix rally last week about Jim mccain's endorsement of Harris. So John mccain, I'm sure disagreed with Donald Trump on a whole host of issues and yes, Donald Trump disagreed with John mccain on a whole host of issues. I do not believe for a second that if John mccain were alive today and he sees what's going on at the American southern border that he would support Kamala Harris and all the destruction that she's wrought. I really don't believe that maybe Donald Trump or Kamala Harris will have more to say about that at their first presidential debate. Tuesday evening, you can watch complete coverage starting with the debate at 5 p.m. Tuesday, followed by 12 news political analysis from 8 to 9 p.m.
