22:36Now PlayingWe host a roundtable discussion on the life and legacy of John McCain, the Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war, sixterm senator and twotime presidential candidate, who died Saturday at the age of 81 of brain cancer. We speak with Mehdi Hasan, columnist for The Intercept and host of their “Deconstructed” podcast. He’s also host of “UpFront” at Al Jazeera English. He’s been tweeting in response to McCain’s death and wrote a piece last year headlined “Despite What the Press Says, 'Maverick' McCain Has a Long and Distinguished Record of Horribleness.” We are also joined by Medea Benjamin, cofounder of CodePink, which McCain once referred to as “lowlife scum,” and by Norman Solomon, national coordinator of RootsAction, executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy and author of “War Made EasyHow Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death.”
