schumer: hi, everybody. welcome to the abbreviated week where two democrats and nine republicans did not show up. as of yesterday. >> you are the majority? [laughter] sen. schumer: yeah, that's right. we are. i'm happy to be joined by senatorblumenthal and whitehouse, both from the senate judiciary committee. for weeks, republicans have been deliberately withholding the entire record of judge kavanaugh's three years as dust secretary, most senior position in the bush administration in a job that kevin himself said was formative and instructive as preparation for being a judge. those are his words. meanwhile, the small percentage of documents are being prescreened by a republican operative who not only worked for kavanaugh in the bush administration, so this is -- kavanaugh's someone who reported to him but currently represented defendant, reince priebus and don mcgahn. if this seems shady, it is because it is. even worse, at the moment, one-third of the documents the judiciary committee had are being deemed

schumer came under heavy pressure from the left. in fact, brian fallon, the executive director of one of the advocacy groups, he was tweeting, urging people to call senate democrats and kill the deal. it's interesting we have a former senior chuck schumer aide now working for an advocacy group pressuring democrats not to agree to nominations package. joe manchin iii, from west virginia said let's just pass this and there's no point in hanging around. these are noncontroversial nominees have been passed in the judiciary committee. you are just wasting time. but i think there's a lot of pressure on democrats to resist the trump agenda and slow it down at any cost. >> interesting. we will continue to follow you, your twitter handle is @alexander bolton. in your reporting in the hill.com. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> senators were briefed recently on election security. by the director of national intelligence, dan coats. on that security secretary, kirstjen nielsen and fbi director, christopher wray. after the briefing, senators

, senator chuck schumer from new york. he said that he's been brought to the wonder if he's been brought left and what was the president trying to say? he seemed relatively calm about schumer. he used to call him crying chuck and chuck has been an obstructionist. >> i think the president understands that for him to fully succeed, he needs some bipartisan success legislatively, and if schumer and the democrats don't cooperate, act makes it tougher. and tougher, and i've seen schumer move to the left and the president is not incorrect in saying that. his caucus has moved left, his party has moves left and so it had a stroke. >> judge jeanine: david, the chances of chuck schumer moving to the left are, like, slim to none. i mean, moving to the right, i mean, and an effort to have some kind of bipartisan efforts in congress. i mean, it is a persistent obstruct onan the part of the left. >> schumer is not going to move toward the right. he's not looking to work with this president. but it was completely appropriate that the pre

yes i think it sends the wrong message if if i were to talk to senator schumer i would i would certainly urge him not to politicize you talked about politicizing intelligence earlier this would be an example of it if we don't do this cooperation with it but between one another in areas such as. exchanging information and analysis on the terrorist groups and their activity whether it's in syria or around the world in the caucasus in them in the u.s. we should all be fired so we have to have the courage to do that it's in my experience of i was involved in the earliest if you will lays on work between the u.s. and russia at the time of the breakup of the soviet union and i don't recall a time when three intelligence chiefs all came together to washington such as just happen and so i take it as a very positive signal of a desire to do more and i hope both sides can find the strength to do that. this is just a chance for politicians to loughton t.v. friendly blaming spies right and left because on the other hand surely they must care about the actual issues of national security right yes i h

thank you, senator schumer. thanks for your leadership on this issue. this foia request is a last resort. it is unprecedented because this concealing of documents is unprecedented and when i say concealing of documents, it is literally hiding documents. from a relative period in this nomin nominee's professional career. not only an instructive but what he called the most instructive period of his professional life, three years as staff secretary to the president of the united states. the chairman has shattered all the norms, potentially violating the law, but we need these documents to do our job, literally to perform our constitutional duty to thoughtfully and deliberately consider this nomination, to ask insightful questions during a hearing, and to decide how to vote. the foia request we have done, freedom of information act request, are to nine separate offices, principally the national archives and i am prepared to go to court, they have 20 days to respond. we will be ready to go to court. i still have hope that they will, in fact, comply and provi

and that is where chuck schumer is. it's not really a vetting of the candidate who, by the way has 300 decisions roughly. public records, they've been at the bush library where they can read a lot of this. if they get things that are classified, what are they actually going to do with them? >> it is attached to the vetting of the candidate but even if they found something that was distasteful, it was in the judge's role when he was not a judge and executive function. >> that would be involved in the actual vetting of the candidates saying, we read his decision. but that's not what this is about. they've had 300 roughly public decisions, more than most other judges. and by the way, ruth bader ginsburg echoed the words against schumer's tactics when she talked about not going through a judge's record and not going after them for what they did previous. >> harris: very quickly, why is it, and i see chuck schumer is now going to do this, and we know that there are fewer than a handful of red state democrats i feel political

was he sincere then, chuck schumer or is it sincere now, chuck schumer? >> i think it's hard to tell when he is sincere because he seems to tailor his views on what he thinks is going to a&e chief his political objectives of the moment. certainly i think president trump is sincere and consistent but chuck schumer has not been consistent, clearly. so it's hard to know what he really thinks. brian: we do know, believe him in 2009 when he was in the majority he had a chance to make things happen. now he is in the minority and can make things happen. instead he stakes out a position that's untenable that he doesn't even believe it doesn't seem. by the way, he is not anti-hispanic. he used illegal aliens. when president trump does suddenly he has a problem with hispanics. talk about hypocrisy. thanks so much jessica vaughn. >> thank you. all right. coming up straight ahead. the incredible video. a police officer assist a 2-year-old child who nearly drowns. the emotional reunion with that child coming your way. that story next ♪ we could be heroes ♪ ne syst

majority whip john cornyn says senator schumer is trying to delay. watch. >> now we are engaged in what i call the "great paper chase." this leaves me with the inescapable conclusion this is all about foot-dragging and delay. they know that they can't attack him based on qualifications, based on his character. and now it's all about paper and delay and obstruction. >> melissa: interesting stuff. do you think this is the best move for democrats? >> marie: i'm sort of in the middle here. i do think the senate has a right to advise and consent on the supreme court nominees and any paper throughout in the history directly relevant to how he would do his job is something the senate should have. i think it's a fair ask to make. whether the documents are part of when he worked at the white house or not, i don't know. some might not be relevant. i argued, the democrats, sorry to say, we'll lose the fight and he will probably be confirmed. if that is the case i don't think that the democratic party should draw it out closer to the midterms because all it does

senate chuck schumer talked about his meeting with judge brett kavanaugh, president trump's nominate to replace anthony kennedy. senator schumer said he remains unsatisfied by judge kavanagh's answers, particularly those related to abortion rights protected under the roe v. wade decision. >> ok, good afternoon, everybody. before i begin, i have been meeting with judge kavanaugh until about 45 minutes ago. so i have not had a chance to view all the details of the plea deal and the verdict today. say this -- i understand the president is on his way to a rally. he better not talk about pardons for michael cohen or paul manafort tonight or anytime in the future. now i will tell you about my meeting with kavanaugh. i've just concluded that meeting. we met for an hour and a half and i asked for extra time and he gave it. the conversation was cordial, it was direct, but unfortunately, judge cabinet refused to answer even the most they sick questions about -- even the most basic questions about his jurors curtains and basic philosophy. let me walk through the topics we talked about. first, o

senator schumer outlined his proposal on the senate floor earlier today. majority leader mcconnell responded at a press conference this afternoon. here is a look. this week. i also propose that we recognize senator mccain's legacy by renaming the russell senate office building in his honor. for three decades, senator mccain was a fix tour in those marble halls, an institution of the senate. it is only fitting that his name should adorn a physical institution of the senate, particularly one that housed the armed services committee.

remarks started with senate leaders mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer. on saturday evening, a great loss echoed throughout our country. six decades of patriotic service came to an end. we suspected for some time that we'd bid farewell to our colleague, the senior senator from arizona, john mccain. john took full advantage of the months since his diagnosis. his hard work continued. but happy reminiscing, fond farewells, final reflections, and time with family actually came to the fore. i was privileged to spend a small share of that time with john. we sat on his back porch in sedona under the desert sky replaying old times. john did things his way these last months. for his colleagues here, the time confirmed but sad the obvious truth. the senate won't be the same without john mccain. i think it's fair to say that passion that john brought to his work was unsurpassed in this body. in more than 30 years as a senator, he never failed to marshall a razor sharp wit, a big heart and a spirit. when he saw an issue the same way you did, you knew you just found y

>> it is fair for senator schumer to think that vote that. the process by which justices rc elected is by design in the constitution a political process. presidents are allowed to pick nominees because they think they have a certain philosophy and senators who disagree are allowed to vote against the candidate on the same grounds. every single justice who george washington nominated was a federalist, supporter of the constitution. george washington picked from his house, john adams picked federalists, thomas jefferson nominated jeffersonian democrats, not until abraham lincoln did they pick someone from the opposite party so presidents are allowed to take ideology into account and so i senators. shannon: we look forward to seeing you in washington next week, thank you for your time. in another sign of the important of the courts three of four justices on the conservative end of the spectrum signaled they would have granted an emergency injunction requested by catholic social services if unfairly targeted by philadelphia, the city froze the sp

schumer opposes kavanaugh's nomination and has been critical of the g.o.p.'s handling of the nominee's extensive paper trail, but he has given his red state democrats space to make up their minds, rather than using hard ball tactics. that's not necessarily a popular strategy, among democrats, is it? >> it's not a popular strategy, but it is really the only strategy that they have. they don't control congress. so they really don't have the option of blocking the confirmation really any other way. and it's important to note that those liberal activists would have opposed anyone that trump nominated for the supreme court. it's not just kavanaugh. you saw that when they sent out their statements opposing his confirmation, they kind of sounded like they had just filled in the name based on who trump chose to nominate. and i spoke to people at a supreme court rally, just about a month ago, when trump was making his decision, and they told me that they were going to oppose whoever trump nominated, any single person that was on his list. so i think the fact that thos

yes i think it sends the wrong message if if i were to talk to senator schumer i would i would certainly urge him not to politicize you talked about politicizing intelligence earlier this would be an example of it if we don't do this cooperation with it but between one another in areas such as. exchanging information and analysis on the terrorist groups and their activity whether it's in syria or around the world in the caucasus in them in the u.s. we should all be fired so we have to have the courage to do that it's in my experience of i was involved in the earliest if you will lays on work between the u.s. and russia at the time of the breakup of the soviet union and i don't recall a time when three intelligence chiefs all came together to washington such as just happen and so i take it as a very positive signal of a desire to do more and i hope both sides can find the strength to do that. so this is just a chance for politicians to fill out a t.v. friendly blaming spies right and left because on the other hand surely they must care about the actual issues of national security right ye

chuck schumer and barack obama and hillary clinton voted for it. a democrat in north dakota and feinstein inical. -- in california. 80 members of the u.s. senate voted for it. now it's suddenly bad. leaders of the democratic party agreed in the past we needed the wall we have today. we may need more wall as urbanization grows. >> martha: and the language on it. >> there is a 65 to 70% point of view. americans want the law enforced. they want border security and they want mercy for the people already here illegally. >> martha: which sounds like what president trump proposeed. >> and what chuck schumer was proposing that was shot down under obama. it keeps failing. >> there are tons of democrats who want some kind of wall. and obama was the importer and chief. it's hypocrisy here. everybody on each side saying something a few years ago they don't say today. everyone is lying about their position on immigration. >> [laughing]. >> martha: thank you guys. >> didn't you love the vermont guy? the vermont guy. if you are not with me, you are uncivilized. t

>> chuck schumer's got a lot at stake, of course, in the next election. even though people are talking about the house maybe changing hands, of course everybody is thumbing their nose at chuck schumer because the senate is going nowhere. i think he's frustrated in the minority position in the senate. it's hilarious he thinks he can tell the president what to do. we live in a world where, and you might remember, in helsinki a reporter stood up and challenged the president to repeat after him and attack the president of russia, to repeat after him, and these people think they can put words in the president's mouth. i think they got another think coming. gregg: you have had your own personal experience with bob mueller and his team of partisans. how corrupt in your mind is the department of justice and the top of the food chain at the fbi? >> well, i'll tell you. you don't have to look any further than sidney powell's book "license to lie." i believe main justice is corrupt. i believe we have done a pretty good job getting rid of some of those folks but just

i have not talked to senator schumer since the cloture motions. i want to make clear. if we used every single minute of every single hour of every single day under the rules, there would come a time when they would ultimately be a vote. if the american people are still in the dark about 35 months of in the highest level of the government, shame on us. delaying it for a matter of days and weeks does not answer the basic russian. what is it about the documentation coming from these months that republicans are so afraid to show us? >> [indiscernible] >> that's what he gave me. the best that he could give me was the notion that he was not addressing the constitutionality of such a proposal, but simply a suggestion to congress. most of us to have read the article did not come to the same conclusion. he will face that question again i'm sure before the senate judiciary. , you hads your message messageator schumer's considering voting for kavanaugh. are you trying to tell them not to vote for kavanaugh so that you have a unified body of no votes when it comes down to it? >> y

still, schumer said this of his very good friend. he called john mccain a brave and honest man and he said he was a patriot. indeed. the vice president mike pence will actually speak and capitol hill at that ceremony honoring john mccain which is of course ahead of sunday service. we will have all the coverage for you ahead of fox news. but for now, back to you. a bombshell revelation as michael cohen's lawyer admits he was an anonymous source. president trump knew in advance about the trump tower meeting where a russian lawyer offered dirt on hillary clinton. lanny davis now says he's no longer certain about that claim. in a statement he said "i should have been much clearer that i could not confirm the story. i take the responsibility for not getting getting more clearly my uncertainty. i regret the error. the president has always denied knowing about that meeting. for more on this, let's bring in tom hamburger, investigative reporter for "the washington post" who wrote the article and your status as a source. i want to talk about

senate minority leader chuck schumer said democrats stand ready to sue the national archives where documents regarding supreme court nominee judge brett kavanaugh's work in the white house during the george w. bush administration. he and senators richard blumenthal and sheldon whitehouse spoke with reporters earlier today. >> hello everybody. welcome to the abbreviated week for two democrats and non- daca republicans did not show up. as of yesterday. yeah, that's right. we are. i'm happy to be joined by senator blumenthal's and white house from the senate judiciary committee. for weeks republicans have been deliberately withholding the entire record of judge kavanaugh's three years as dust secretary, most senior position held in the bush and ministration in a job that kevin himself said was formative and instructive as preparation for being a judge. those are his words. meanwhile, the small percentage of documents are being prescreened by a republican operative who not only worked for cavanaugh in the bush and ministration so this is cavanaugh's someone who reported to him but currently repr

brett cavanagh, to the supreme that, is the best example schumer, although he is under pressure from the liberal base, he is not cracking the whip, not twisting arms. he is letting joe donnelly of others, make their own decision on cavanagh, even though potentially this is the biggest issue of the midterms. that the vote comes close to election day. there's been a dynamic in the year long, the base wants strong resistance to trump, but these moderates have interest in working with trump. and schumer is letting them do for their states. >> that said, i think there are issues that democrats are the nationalat democrats would like them to. upheard van hollen bring health care, prince, today. they're running hard against the a bill thatax cuts, they think exacerbates income and equality and was unfair to people. they think efforts to repeal the and popularare act provisions within it, and go after potentially other entitlements, are issues that will help win over some rallyndents and democrats. and by and large, they're counting on the energy among the within the-- democratic base agains

even more important, that is important, i 'grow with senator schumer even more important that we rep o remember what john mccain's message was to us. do something for america, you're elected to solve problems, tackle the problems. that was what i heard. that i hope is the enduring legacy mccain's service. >> brennan: there are sparks of hope we'll satan see but i want to ask you to see the same question, this was who is 9 voice, who is the conscious of the senate now? >> i don't know that it's any one person. john stood out from so many of us because of his extraordinary the e and senate just thevice i way he conducted himself, but each and everyone of us have to play that role. i'm thought sure there's one person that is going to grab the banner and move forward if we take a lesson from his life and his public life we can make a difference. >> brennan: we'll be back in a moment. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently.

this comes after he met with a host of senators yesterday including minority leader of chuck schumer. here is senator schumer today. >> it is unseemly for the president of the united states to be picking a supreme court justice who could soon be effectively a juror in a case involving the president himself. >> the white house spokesman responded saying "democrats pledged to block judge kavanaugh with everything they have." frankly the latest attempt looks quite desperate. there is a hearing scheduled for september 4 and judge beat 18 will be there. i think you will get questions in his confirmation hearing about whether he would recuse himself, if, for example, anything involving the trump investigation for example, a subpoena, would make its way to the supreme court. >> why would he? >> because they nominated him. he will get the question, i should say. >> andrew: shoot from the hip, i would be inclined to answer that and say, no, because i don't like there's a basis for it. we love to say that this was pristine and legal and it occurs on a different plane, but this is all about poli

but the point is, and i agree with the comments made by our friend, senator schumer, that it is the judicial record which tells us the most about how a judge will perform once elevated to the united states supreme court. at another point, the democratic leader said with regard to then-judge sotomayor, he said we have heard precious little about the body and totality of your 17-year record on the bench, which everyone knows is the best way to evaluate a nominee. again, i agree with him. in one final instance, he said addressing judge sotomayor, he said i want to turn to your record on the bench, which i believe is the best way to get a sense of what your record will be on the bench in the future. again, common sense. you heard it, the best way to get a sense of how a judge will perform in the future is how he or she has performed on the bench in the past, and that's according to our friend, senator schumer. not me, although i agree with him. as i said, democrats have 12 years' worth of cases and opinions from judge kavanaugh, and i hope they have started to look at them, but i'm not so sure t
