we hear this is the election of the youth vote. it will not be this year. as far as students reaction to politics, i don t know that there is because you will have students disconnected from politics. for the most part, 18 to 20-year-olds are disconnected from politics. it will be the usual political environment of 2022 and the last couple of years will have any lasting change. that will only be known over time. ben collins, thank you. basel, justin, reid, you are all sticking around. it wasn t long ago that the

sure. well, thanks for having me. you know, i think the senator was very much in person how you probably might have seen him on television. he did not mince words very often. he was, you know, extremely honest, forthright, blunt, when he needed to be. but also had an incredible sense of humor more and certainly a sense of duty and honor that put country before all. and i think that over the course of 60 years, first in the navy and then in congress as you saul mentioned, i think he showed that every day, that this was something that was more than just an idea. it was an ideal. reid, senator mccain was very clear that he had dislikes about the shifting of political winds in washington. the last time he was in washington, december of last year, i believe, but again, during that time he frequently spoke up about things he didn t like. talk to us about that
you know, i think that certainly senator mccain was probably never a fan of president trump s brand of politics. but also understand that senator mccain was many things, but willing to sit idly by while someone impugned his service and his honor i think was something he was never going to abide by. and certainly president trump during his campaign and since then has apparently taken glee in both insulting you know, insulting senator mccain s service, you know, his imprisonment, the votes he s taken in the united states senate, certainly the one where he saved whatever is left of obamacare, the affordable care act. and, you know, that s the kind of thing where john mccain was perfectly willing to disagree with you on policy or politics, but he was not going to sit by and allow you to impugn his honor. reed galen on the phone with us from park city, utah. reed, thank you so much for taking time to remember the u.s.
accepted his well-earned status of a maverick. i ve been called a maverick, someone who marches to the beat of his own drum. and the american people know me very well. and that is independent and a maverick of the senate. and i m happy to say that i ve got a partner that s a good maverick along with me now. i m a maverick. no one expected us to agree on everything. maverick i can do. but messiah is above my pay grade. reid galen now joins us by phone from park city, utah, a republican political strategist and the former campaign manager for senator john mccain s presidential campaign in 2008. reid, thank you for taking time with us this day. look, you were with senator mccain during one of his boldest moments, running for the highest office in the land. how do you remember those moments and how do you remember him?
