The first question i would like to post to her, americans good to see you there. Americans are more divided than they have ever been in my lifetime. We have got people in the majorities of both parties saying they would be upset if their kid married to someone from the other party, that they think the other party is a threat to our republic. Your husband, the late senator was a champion of working and reaching across the aisle, establishing bipartisanship and trying to work collectively toward the common good. Why do we find that such a remarkable thing today . What has happened . Mrs. Mccain there are so many reasons. First of all, thank you for having me. There are so many reasons that i think nowadays, one of them it has really taken us down a little bit. It is too easy to be on social media, it is too easy to be critical or harsh or all the things we know happens on their, because it is anonymous. It has made us less caring and less involved, because we can hide behind this device.

2003. Translator we say that this resembles the situation of 2003, and they warned iraq, that there was a Campaign Launched in iraq, it finished with the decembstrun of the country, the growth of the terrorist threat and the emergence of isis on the international arena. This as the president s secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, is arriving in moscow. He just got off the plane moments ago. Hes also firing off accusations of his own. We have a lot of news to get to, beginning with nic robertson, in italy where the g7 just wrapped up. We have Michelle Kaczynski travelin traveling. There was a russian drone seen over the hospital where the chemical attack victims were being treated that hospital was then later bombed. The circumstances are still murky, russia denied involvement and then tried tobels saying the in a rebel store house where they were hit. Not the assad regime.

might a face-saving off-ramp look like? i think we should be very careful and reluctant to start playing these games of getting into putin s head and trying to figure out if this happens, that happens, we do this, we do that. we should stay true to our principles and support the ukranians and give the full support of materiel and weapons systems and equipment they need to win the war. the way to pete putin is beat putin and the ukranians are showing great capabilities on the battlefield are doing so and let things play out. look, if the russian people want to take the matter into their own hands with regard to putin that would be a good thing, right, but i don t think we should start, you know, pushing zelenskyy to negotiate a compromise with the russians. he needs to do what s best for his country and, look, they are fighting for their lives, and i think we should fully support them in that endeavor. all right. former defense secretary mark esper, thank you so much. good to see yo
