an hour, 7:00 eastern and 4:00 p.m. on the west coast. now back to media buzz. whether the issue is illegal immigration, foreign policy or plain politics, john mccain remains one of the most visible members of congress. a fixture on television, sometimes at odds with his own party and the press. today we re turning the tables and give him the chance to critique the mainstream media. i sat down with the republican senator here in the washington bureau. john mccain, welcome. thank you, howard. let s start with immigration. the media cast you as an immigration reformer. you campaigned in 2008 on immigration reform. you ve been highly critical of president obama over those illegals that have come over the border. i think you can argue that from one respect. on the other respect you can view this, one reason i m so
that these things are going to happen. am i completely immune to being unhappy about it? hell no a postscript in a mom. the arizona senator says the press botched the tail of his calling two fellow republicans wacko birds. later matt lauer and savannah guthrie wind up shooting the breeze with howard stern?
the chicago trading floor if he got any more hyper exercise. attacking him for really on substance. i don t know. i am giving it a three. i didn t care for it. i m giving it a nine. what? sorry. i didn t know that ahead of time. all right, the today show is being simulcast on sirius xm radio show. matt lauer and savannah guthrie showed up in the studio of howard stern. the king of all media had fun with savannah s pregnancy and lawy lauer s latest stunt. we could be talking about all kinds of things that sexual things? definitely. and frankly anything related to the bathroom. bathroom humor. what happened to morning television? i am friends with matt. we love to discuss politics. we love to talk about what s going on in the world.
senator. senator mccain, thanks for joining us. thanks, howard. after the break, one cnbc hot shot accuses another of being wrong about just about everything. the today show stars on the hot seat with howard stern. our video verdict is straight ahead. test.
now for crass ratings matt is going to be doused in cold water. it happened. it did happen. it sounds horrible. what s part of the 8:00 hour. in the 7:00 hour we still do cover the news of the day. okay. first of all i have to quibble with what you called howard stern the king of all media. he may be the king of all raunchy media but i don t quite agree with that. you have a 20-year-old conception of howard stern. he is one of the best interviewers in broadcasting. i agree he s a good interviewer. he s been on anderson cooper. he also talks about gross things. like getting doused with cold water? it s not gross. it may be the trend of morning television. well, i think this was mild. he s much more fun when he talks about getting drunk with matt lauer. or other things. anyway, i give it a five. i think savannah handled herself beautifully. i agree with that and i am giving it an eight. still to come. your best tweets and jon stewart sits down with hillary cli
