, 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

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 degree of bipartisan success legislatively. and if they don't cooperate, it makes it tougher and tougher. and i see schumer move to the left and the president is not correct in saying that he's moved left. >> but, david, the chances of schumer moving to the left are like slim to none. i mean, moving to the right, i mean, in an effort to have some kind of bipartisan efforts in congress. i mean, it is resist and obstruct on the part of the left. >> schumer is not going to move towards the right and he's not looking to work with this president, but it was completely appropriate that the president today is in ohio where we finally got declared the winner of the ohio 12 special election, which was the republican nominee troy balderson. you may remember this was the definitive race that was going to show that democrats with going to clean t

we heard great emotion from democratic leader chuck schumer on the senate floor late yesterday. another colleague, chris coons of delaware talked about the impacts of mccain's passing. >> losing him has been something that although we all knew was coming at some point here has been i think difficult for many senators that served alongside him. it is my hope that we are not seeing the passing of the last of the great senators who are able and willing to put country above party and above self. >> losing john mccain was not a surprise after more than a year fighting brain cancer. but he was still actively engaged working the phones, calling his colleagues up until the final weeks. now that he's gone, the shock is beginning to sink in, shep. >> shepard: there had been discussion, mike, of changing the name of the russell office building where john mccain had his office and did business a long time. is that a matter of discussion? >> it is. chuck schumer has been leading the charge saying it would be appropriate to rename the building in honor of john mccain. john mccain's office has

we will hear from mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer. we will hear all of that life. it was 51 years ago that the plane was shot down over north vietnam where he was held prisoner for the better part of 5.5 years. and the last few years, beaten badly. for two years, this very summer, america was div

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.

. >> i saw a statement from mcconnell and schumer asking that the military ensure that flags at government buildings are flown at half staff until mccain is buried. i don't know if that means they're going to send the military in to lower the flag at the white house, if that's how the military coup will unfold, but it certainly shows too that bipartisan side making whatever efforts they can to make sure that that honor is extended even if it isn't happening at the white house. >> senator schumer wants to rename the russell senate office building the john mccain senate office building. a lot of democrats are on board. i assume a bunch of republicans are as well. what are you hearing from the white house, what are you hearing from capitol hill? is that likely to be renamed? >> it seems like if democrats agree, and obviously richard russell was a democrat, and jeff flake, the other republican from arizona was on board with that, i would not be surprised to see other republicans sign on in that effort. it's not something the president would have to sign is my understanding so i wouldn't be sur

instead last night chuck schumer cut a huge deal with mitch mcconnell in which the democrats agreed to waive through 15 trump judicial nominees. the remaining eight will get expedited votes next week, no taking any time. there have been a number of arguments today as to whether or not senator schumer is playing a three dimensional chess here and he got an amazing concession from the republicans that nobody can see yet. but if democrats were hoping to make republicans fight for every nominee in order to put the spotlight on judicial nominations and their importance, they just did the opposite. 15 times over five days before supreme court hearings. that does it for us tonight. we will see you again tomorrow. now it is time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. >> if you are looking to me for some senate insight as to why chuck schumer did that, i'm sorry. he's going to have to come on your show or my show and explain it. >> there is 15 nominees free for nothing. we don't want to take up any time. we want to make sure there is nothing on the calendar, nothing taking up anybody's time

paul: what about document demand fights, mary, chuck schumer said you have to turn every document when he was in white house, turn over every document when he worked in stark campaign. we will turn over a million or so but we won't turn everything. >> archives said that they wouldn't be able to get that by the end of october and, of course, that's the strategy, if you can't produce all these documents then the people like the red state democrats will be able to say, well, you know, the process isn't complete and so try to drag it out and, of course, get it into the lame duck or even next year. and so this is going to require a lot of leadership on the party of lindsey graham and chuck grassley to say, look, we are going to draw the line here because we will get this done. paul: dan, is there any -- any substance to the request by schumer saying, he's saying there's a cover-up, you're not turning over all the documents of staff secretary but i remember when kagan was come nateed, we insist on getting documents from elena kagan and barack obama said, no, why because that's too important

the hope among schumer. that's why he kind of held back initially, hoping that maybe the president would come to him and nancy pelosi and do a revitalization of american infrastructure. there was none of that, no compromise to bring better health care that's cheaper and covers everyone. there was a go back to the old playbook of tax cuts for the rich that even more skewed than those under reagan and bush. so i think that is why you are seeing these numbers move the way that they are. a lot of these people, i have this feeling that they are not, their allegiances are very shallow. the reason why president trump won the mid-west was not because they all loved him so much. it was because the democrats didn't turn out. now you are starting to see those intensity numbers really move. >> still ahead on "morning joe," the white house tries to justify president trump referring to omarosa as a dog, by claiming he makes those other remarks about a lot of other people, too. we will talk about that strange defense, firs

chuck schumer announced his proposal a day after his colleague lost his battle with brain cancer. >> decades from now, little children to ask their parents, who was john mccain. they will explain the sacrifice, his patriotism, and most of all his fidelity to do the right thing. when he did the wrong thing, to change. >> mccain works in the russell building named after richard russell, a staunch segregationist who voted to block the act. renaming the building would not require the signature of president trump. at senator mccain's request, the president will not be attending his funeral or any other memorial events. unclear whether the first lady will do so. her office has not responded to multiple attempts. melania trump just did a tree planting service. here she is a while ago. >> thank you, everyone, for coming today. an honor to make a -- here. very special day. i want to thank the national park services for doing an amazing job and keeping the white house in beautiful shape. >> let's go to our white house reporter, kate bennet, who was at that tree planting ceremony. my question i

instead last night chuck schumer cut a huge deal with mitch mcconnell in which the democrats agreed to waive through 15 trump judicial nominees. the remaining eight will get expedited votes next week, no taking any time. there have been a number of arguments today as to whether or not senator schumer is playing a three dimensional chess here and he got an amazing concession from the republicans that nobody can see yet. but if democrats were hoping to make republicans fight for every nominee in order to put the spotlight on judicial nominations and their importance, they just did the opposite. 15 times over five days before

house from san francisco, nancy pelosi, you have the leadership in the senate from new york and chuck schumer, these are not states that are in play for republicans, these are solid democratic states, i think they need a leadership that's focused on that -- paul: let me ask you, if you have all the candidates, the difference between now and 2016 is that you have the candidates declaring in the campaign i will not vote for her, what are they going to do get in washington, never mind, i didn't mean it? >> some of them might have alter your motives, someone running in north carolina, red state is obviously going to help her. jim also thinking about running. there's tension between congressional black caucus and pelosi namely over her treatment of maxine waters when maxine waters said democrats should harass officials, nancy pelosi did not come to waters' defense and some members of black caucus did not forget that. paul: we saw congressman lamb, disavowed pelosi and he got into congress, helped particularly in districts where republican voters, you know, less enthusiastic about coming out, repub

i think it is absolutely appropriate for senator schumer to have put this forth. i'm surprised more senators haven't gotten on board. i don't think we'll see a rush to have multiple people rename multiple buildings. >> i'm not sure why he wants to move slowly on this. they hail from southern states. the republican party today are the conservative democrats from the south. you have seen a lot of turnover and change. i think before he went forward with any vote, he wanted to make sure that he knew where his members are. i'm not saying he will get around to rename the building or he shouldn't, it's a good idea. i think it's an easier decision for democrats to make at this point. for a lot of republicans, once you are done honoring senator mccain and he deserves all of the accolades and we get back to normal politics in a month or two, there's the fact of the matter that senator mccain or many conservative republicans in the party's base, they soured on him and his brand of politics. they are loyal to president trump. a lot of the senators plan on being around a lot l

. >> desjardins: democratic leader chuck schumer today said that answer reveals nothing >> everything is settled law until they unsettle it. it is different than saying it was rightly deded. >> desjardins: meantime schumer and democrso are focusing on kavanugh's time working in the bush white house-- they want access to hundreds of thousands of pages of his documents. but republicans insist that's political, pointing to the over 100,000 pages already public and that more are ming. >> the reason for the great paper chase is that democrat's other attempts to criticize this nominee have fallen flat. >> desjardins: kavanaugh's confirmation hearings being in exactly two weeks. for the pbs newshour, i'm lisa desjardins at the u.s. capitol. >> woodruff: the u.s. hast deported the lown nazi suspect in the country to germany, after he lived in the f u. almost 70 years. the government believes jakiwed palij ses a guard at a concentration camp in polandar erring world wi, which he concealed to enthe u.s. in 1949. federal agents carried the 95- year-old from his home in queens this morning in a w

this is a schumer deal. schumer wanted this. >> we have to get rid of chain migration, all of these things we're talking about. >> a guy comes in and then you have to bring his aunt, his uncle, his father, his grandfather, his grandson. >> a total desires that threatens our security and economy. >> his third niece by a different marriage. >> provides a gateway for terrorism. >> they think it is good politically, but i will tell you that i think it is horrible politically, and what do i know? i did become president in like a year and a half. the first in-law's attorney calls it family reunification, not immigration and bedrock policy. the first lady's office declined to comment. what can you tell us about the process the first lady's parents went through to become citizens? >> we're learning how melania trump's parents came to this country and became citizens earlier today. it was in fact the first lady who sponsored her parents for their green card. to be clear, and you made clear, this is not out of the ord

chuck schumer says the manafort and cohen cases are a game changer. peter doocy live on capitol hill. peter? >> shep, one of the democratic senators who had been planning to hear the president's nominee out crossed their meeting off her calendar today. >> i will be cancelling my appointment with judge kavanaugh, because i choose not to extend a courtesy to this president who is an unindicted co-conspirator to this president, the corte sieve meeting with his nominee for the supreme court, a lifetime appointment. >> as far as we know president trump has not been identified as an unnamed co-conspirator in any indictment. like the senator said. that doesn't mean the democrats aren't trying to stop the kavanaugh proceedings, something that the senate minority whip, dick durbin, was pushing for. he told news the hallway seems to me at the minimum we should be withholding this decision about a supreme court nominee until the air is cleared. but there is one thing the democrats don't have right now, to hold up the proceedings. that is enough votes. shep? >> s

senator schumer and lead pelosi to try to make a fuss about and demand a vote on it in september. >> some people don't think the rules apply to them. the photo at the top of the show, that's what it's called receipts. that's receipts and damning and slightly incriminating. the congressman in the 27th congressional district. chr it's moved to a likely republican seat. you know, folks -- democrat in the race already raising money off of this. this just goes to show that any type of conduct can open up the doors for democrats to gain all types of seat this is fall probably not on the table before. >> there is a culture of corruption in washington. did proceed donald trump and it is bipartisan. we have seen this before. there's the "60 minutes" report of the insider trading allowed to legislate things for -- and then trade accordingly and something so brazen about this including the fact that he allegedly lied to investigators about it even though there's a paper trail and phone trail. >> right. that's what people's hate about this town is the fact that people feel entitled to do that an

on the democratic side, you've seen democrats led by chuck schumer coalesce around a single strategy. take a listen. >> the president identified as an unindicted co-conspirator of a federal crime, an accusation made not by a political enemy but by the closest of his own confidantes is on the verge of making a lifetime appointment to the supreme court, a court that may some day soon determine the extent of the president's legal jeopar jeopardy. in my view, the senate judiciary committee should immediately pause the consideration of the kavanaugh nomination. >> senator schumer referring to brets c brett kavanaugh, the president's supreme court nominee. when you've heard from democrat after democrat this morning, it's not impeachment. many of them don't want to touch the issue at all. it's all about that nomination saying as long as this is an issue hanging out there those issues should be postponed. a member of the judiciary committee has canceled her one on one meeting with kavanaugh. the reality is republicans control the chamber. republicans have the votes if they are unanimous to mo

. >> alcindor: back itol hill today, some democrats, including senate minority leader uck schumer, took their criticism a step further. th're calling for a delay next month's confirmation hearings for supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. >> 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 casees involving the ent himself. >> alcindor: others, like hawaii's maz hirono, won't be meeting with the nominee at all. >> i will be canceling my appointment with judge kavanaugh because i chse not to extend e courtesy to this president, who is an unindicted co- conspirator.lc >>dor: as the political battle continues, so do several investigations into russia interference >> woodruff: and white house correspondent yamiche alcindor joins me now. along with our capitol hill correspondent, lisa desjardins. and larry noble, a cn finance expert and former general counsel for the federal election commission. larry noble, i'm going to turn to you before i turn to my "newshour" colleagues toif clwhat is the violation he

meanwhile, senator leader chuck schumer plans to memorialize john mccain by renaming the russell building after him. the loss is hitting hard for constituents in arizona. vaughn hilliard has some of their reactions. >> he was a legend. he was an arizona hero. a good man. >> he was a well respected human being. he served his country and politically, i think you have to respect the man. it's very sad of his passing. >> i'm a democrat, but john mccain was always a politician i looked up to. he was a huge part of arizona. i think, as a person, he was a good guy. obviously, he went through a lot as a veteran and, you know, prisoner of war. you know, he had a really sad life and turned it into something triumphant. >> he served the people of arizona for four years in the house of representatives, then served 31 years in the united states senate. before he was a politician, he was a war hero. coming up, a look at his mill care career. >> what do you want to be remembered for? >> he served his country. that's what i would like to see. he served his country. hopefully, with the word honorably on i

it's no surprise the senate minority leader chuck schumer is pushing to rename the russell senate building after john mccain. joining me from capitol hill is mike emanuel. what was it like to cover and deal with the senator john mccain and john mccain the person. reporter: really a fascinating character. he was serious about the issues, you heard him talk about the iraq war and afghanistan and policy matters. you see mccain when you are about to do a life shot with us or another network. he would wink with a twinkle in his eye. he would say what are you doing, boy? i would look over and realize i was being heckled by john mccain. my understanding is john mccain believed if we were telling the stories about what's going on and writing the stories in our nation's politics, having a relationship would help us know what he was thinking with his votes over the years. howie: i think he enjoyed the give and take with the press. he was such a fixture on the sunday shows. he was the most of frequent guest on "meet the press" ever. sometimes he got testy or i am patients with journalists. but i thin

mitch mcconnell alongside chuck schumer, presenting the wreath there. a break in protocol. the request of john mccain, he wanted one final act of bipartisanship in his honor. in an emotional farewell, one by one, the members of the family, his widow, friends and colleagues approached to say good-bye. for more on the events honoring the senator today, we bring out our correspondent. it's one thing to see his family there saying good-bye, but the lines, the lines of people in washington wanting to have a moment there in the capitol rotunda is stunning. >> reporter: that's right, brooke. it is very moving. a cap of his very long career on capitol hill. this was a building and a career that he loved so much. i think we saw that reflected in all the very poignant and moving moments of the day. of course those americans filtering through the capitol, continuing at this hour, will, for many, many hours and the simple moment, the presence of his 106-year-old mother, roberta, who made her way up the hill. we saw her comforting her granddaughter, meghan mccain handing her a tissue an

this is now the party of nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and maxine waters and bernie sanders. it's a socialist party. they want your crumbs back and want to impeach the president and keep obamacare. tonight the only group hoping for trump's impeachment might be the corrupt destroy trump mainstream media. yesterday we called out cnn for standing by what is a faulty story about the 2016 trump tower meeting. the press was reporting from fake news cnn. it's not true. back in july. >> a cuomo prime-time exclusive that goes to the truth of what the president knew and when he knew about an event that is central to this special counsel russia investigation. sources tell myself and carl that michael cohen claims that then candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june 2016 meeting in trump tower where russian were expected to offer his campaign dirt on hillary clinton. >> it's very, very significant. the president denied any fore-knowledge of this event. this meeting goes to the question of intent to collude. >> you said we need to follow the money and follow the lies and figure

democrats who are very angry about this deal, who feel they've been steam rolled by mitch mcconnell, chuck schumer and the democrats have not fought hard enough on this, what do you say to them. >> we're in session in august, exactly because we have been standing up and fighting. president trump has nominated a record number of circuit court nominees, and we have forced an inch by inch fight on every one of them. majority leader mcconnell has stated how upset he is, with how hard we have fought against the circuit court nominees by this administration, and as a result, for the first time in decades, we're here in washington working in august. i'm just finishing now a 12 hour day in my office here in washington, preparing for next week's kavanaugh hearing. it was possible for mitch mcconnell to get the same result and i'll remind you, half of these judges are noncontroversial judges that democrats move forward, it does allow him to fillmore district court seats, that's correct. the end result is the same, we would have been here wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday, and in

in a symbol of bipartisan mcconnell and democratic counterpart chuck schumer laid wreath filed by ryan and democratic leader nancy pelosi on behalf of the house. representing the trump administration was vice president mike pence, who says he was sent by the president to pay his respects. >> on behalf of a grateful nation, we will ever remember that john mccain served his country and john mccain served his country honorably. >> words not lost on mccain's 106-year-old mother roberta, first to approach the casket his wife of some 38 years. followed by family members and mourners who spend generations and bridge the political divide and they all found their own personal way to say goodbye. members of the public are paying their respects to the senator as well. before the procession, the senate chaplain put into words the gratitude many felt. >> we give thanks for the consequential life of senator john mccain, a drum major for courage, truth, and justifiable. >> there was a touching private moment later when senator lindsey graham brought cindy mccain onto the senate floor. she sat at her

uck schumer said it's settled unl it's su sun settled. we ao hear democrats pointing to justice gorsuch who used the same standard saying he saw roe assetled law, but democrats like chris kountze today pointed out gorsuch voted to overturn a 197m su court case about labor law. t gorsuch did vo overturn that, so democrats are concerned that, whether it's settled law, these justices could be willing to overturn them. >> woodruff: joan biskupic, you as somebody who's been altching the no nomination processes, first o when a nominee speaks about something being settled law, is that something we take to the bank? >> no. (laughter) nds nice, it is nice and justices -- judicial nominees repeatedly say it, but it's just sort of stating the obvious, frankly, that if you have a precedent from 1973, which is whenoe v wade made abortion legal nationwide, of course it's settled, and then in 1992 the court reaffirmed that. but as lismentioned, the supreme court has overturned precedent, four-decade-old precedent. >> woodruff: right. and i think what he

minority leader schumer is supportive of this effort. renaming it. >> for three decades, senator mccain was a fixture in those marble halls, an institution of the senate. it's only fitting that his name should adorn a physical establishment. >> i'd like to elaborate an bring ideas of current members, former colleagues and friends. it will be bipartisan as only befits john's legacy. and come to think of it, we'd probably call it not a committee but a gang. >> senator mccain's name would replace that of senator richard b. russell, long time georgia secretary and segregationist with a storied past. let's talk about that president with historian tim naftali. tell me about senator russell. >> senator russell was a powerful legislator. he was from the early 1950s until 1969, he was chairman of the senate armed services committee and he was chairman of the armed services subcommittee of the senate appropriations committee. in other words, he was the key person on spending money on the military. and he made the position of armed services committ

. >> president trump: a vote for jon tester is a vote for chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, and the new leader of the democratic party maxine waters. >> the vulnerable senator doesn't think the president will sway voters in big sky country. >> in the end, montana is going to have who they want to represent in the senate. >> there is one thing president trump can do for republican candidates that is going to be tough for democrats to compete with and that is pack an arena with nosy supporters. it's not clear who democrats could call on as the party's leader draw a big crowd. >> bret: peter, thank you. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has just filed cloture to end debate on 17 administrative and judicial nominees. our senior producer reports it would take the senate weeks to get through all of these nominees if they do it by the book but they are moving quickly on all of that. as we have told you before, there is a huge concern up on capitol hill and throughout the country about cyber security for the election. tonight, the government is sharing some of what it is doing to try to prevent a

maybe chuck schumer should insist on it. it's important for the congress to not let trump talk himself into thinking he can get away with crippling this investigation. i think he would pay a pretty big price. he seems emboldened. it would be bad to have that constitutional crisis. >> it would be bad for the republicans, there's no question this would become a midterm issue. he's gone after the media, this is a favorite target, we saw that during the campaign. we saw during the campaign, ruth, "the washington post" and other organizations were barred from those rallies and had to come in with the public and try to cover them as best they could. let's listen to a bit of donald trump last night in tampa, florida, blasting the media. >> fake news. fake news. they are fake. every night it's the same thing. wouldn't you think they would get tired of these speeches? wouldn't you think? >> and jim acosta has been a frequent target. he is the white house correspondent, of course, for cnn. cnn and nbc and others have also been targets

. >> other sherpas include dan coats for sam alito and chuck schumer guided sonya soto mayo throw her confirmation process. >> the capitol is 880 feet above sea level. but getting to the supreme court, it requires a sherpa. >> shepard: even goats need to play hooky once in a while. this was the scene today, boise idaho, where more than 100 goats escaped and chomping their way through town giving folks free lawn care. a reporter for the idaho statesman investigated and tweeted this is where they made their great escape a couple blocks. it was a total of 118 goats. #goatescape. the owner rounded them up. turns out they belonged to a rent-a-goat business. the owner says a herd has a follow the leader mentality. one dashed out and all the rest were trailing behind. on this day in 1958, an american submarine made the very first underwater trip to the north pole. the name was the nautilus. it took new and shorter routes in the pacific to the atlantic. the sub started out in hawaii and headed to alaska. it dove under the ice cap and passed to the north pole. came up near greenland. president

. >> if you are looking to me for some senate insight as to why chuck schumer did that, i'm sorry. he's going to have to come on your show or my show and explain it. >> there is 15 nominees free for nothing. we don't want to take up any time. we want to make sure there is nothing on the calendar, nothing taking up anybody's time so that we can therefore ask for a delay for brett kavanaugh. >> taking up time and running out the clock is the major tool that the minority in the senate has used for generations now. >> only tool, yes. >> so don't ask me. rachel, i loved your coverage of andrew gillu m's win last night in florida. he is going to join us here in this hour and tell us how he did it and tell us what he think it is strategy is for going all the way. but we will also cover impeachment and last week really became the week where everyone was talking about impeachment. the president was talking about impeachment, if i ever got impeached, as he said on fox news. now we know tonight that that's what they're talking about inside the white house. >> talking about bringing on whole n

. >> the blood is on chuck schumer's hands and every democrat. >> this should be the front line as far as immigration, i don't want that focus to be on that, there has to be a focus on how it continues to work with law enforcement. >> for over seven years, this man was here undetected and unaccounted for. this raises questions about his immigration, employment, and criminal history and we must receive answers. >> in iowa, the state's democratic party's written platform states it opposes locally federal immigration laws. so far staying out of the debate, i would democratic party is going to honor the wishes of the tibbets family to grieve in private and will not turn this senseless tragedy into a partisan fight. in an interview with fox news, his ex-girlfriend said she never noticed a change in his behavior during the search. now she fears for her life because of her connection to rivera. [speaking spanish] >> i've been receiving death threats from people that they're going to come and kill us and they're going to burn down the trailer. because were mexican, we say to ourselves we didn'

also senator chuck schumer has suggested the building named for richard russell, lifetime supporter of segregation from georgia, where mccain had his office throughout his long tenure in the senate be renamed in john mccain's honor. nbc's kelly o'donnell is in arizona where she's been all weekend. and kelly, you covered him longer than anyone, and i know you've got a lot of thoughts. talk to us first about what we expect in arizona in the next couple of days. >> well, andrea, we are here at the state capitol where john mccain will be honored by the people for whom he represented and served for three decades. the governor has made arrangements for the capitol to open its doors on wednesday. the people of arizona can file past the casket and pay their respects. the governor, i had a chance to speak with him. people in arizona, we're used to seeing john mccain at a diamondsback game or even at the starbucks. this will be their chance in a solemn way to say thank you for his service and to acknowledge him and to comfort the extended mccain family which, of course, is home here in arizona.

. >> no doubt about it senate democratic leader schumer talked to reporters just moments ago and he said he thinks president trump is doing this trying to create a distraction. >> when you are in trouble in one way and then you create trouble for yourself in another way, i don't think that serves the president's purposes, you know, all these theories well, is he trying to distract from one thing to move to another, he is doing one bad thing and then doing another bad thing. i don't think that helps him. >> a democrat on the senate intelligence panel says is he convinced this is political pay back. >> this is not normal times, so, those decisions should be made for whatever reason and let people make their own conclusion on why. i just think this is sad that it's gotten to where politics has come to this. >> democrats say the president should not be trying to silence his critics. shep? >> shepard: mike emanuel live on capitol hill. the queen of soul died this morning. we'll look back at aretha franklin's life and legacy from a church choir in detroit to the billboard charts and becomes th

>> senator schumer did offer a deal and he turned it down. >> sean: know, full funding for the wall? >> apparently both sides care about dreamers, which is nice. president trump only wants this on his terms. he wants an immigration system, a merit based immigration system, to match with a lottery system. >> sean: is it wrong to come here? >> we should that everybody that comes here. >> yes, we should. >> that is a big difference from your talk we have been hearing from your party. my point is if people keep breaking into your house, jessica, what would you do about it? >> i would lock my door, jesse. bagel so why don't you want the country to lock its doors? >> the doors to the country are pretty well locked. >> mollie tibbetts died because the country's doors were not protected. >> it is a tragedy what happened to mollie tibbetts, no one should take that lightly. anyone who is taking that lightly -- >> sean: you did not answer jesse's question. it is the most important question. you would lock your doors. we don't have our doors locked. >> first of all, there are a number of people,

all these mega celebrities, amy schumer, et cetera, are all trying to send her a message. >> they are posting this open letter that was started by members of the entertainment industry to say to ivanka trump, listen. you know, you flippantly spoke about this separation policy at an event last week but it's about time that you wake up to the facts according to the letter because there's still over 500 children that haven't been reunited with their families, also calling on her to ask for the resignation of the department of homeland security secretary nielsen. she has yet to respond to this. what is significant about this, brooke, because when celebrities she follows are posting this on their instagram feeds, that puts it on her instagram feed and she is forced -- >> inundated by dear ivanka, dear ivanka. >> through the 1,400 followers and doesn't follow chelsea handler. if you thought she is following you, she is not. i don't know if she's starting to unfollow celebritys that are being vocal about president trump's policies but, brooke, i also just want to tell you this is not the fir

also meeting with chuck schumer, who is leading the charge to get more documents released from his time in the bush white house. this is just two weeks from his confirmation hearing. >> sunlen, thank you very much for that update. >>> we're following two major developments right now. the first one on paul manafort's trial. the federal judge telling jurors to keep deliberating after they appear to be stuck on one of 18 counts. and more breaking news. president trump's former personal attorney and fixer michael cohen, who's facing possible criminal charges, is now in serious talks with prosecutors for a potential plea deal. we'll have the latest on that as well. stay with us. gimme one minute... and i'll tell you some important things to know about medicare. first, it doesn't pay for everything. say this pizza is your part b medical expenses. this much - about 80% - medicare will pay for. what's left is on you. that's where an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company comes in. this type of plan helps pay some of what medicare doesn't. these ar

t this is now the party of nancy pelosi and chuckie schumer and maxine waters and bernie sanders. it is a far left, unapologetic socialist party. they want your crumbs back, they want open borders, and they want most of all to impeach the president and keep obamacare. but tonight the only group hoping for trump's impeachment more than the democrats might actually be the corrupt destroy trump so-called mainstream media.a. yesterday, we called out cnn for standing by what is a faulty story about the 2016 drum tower meeting. remember the breathless reporting from fake news cnn. it's all not true. back in july, take a look. >> we have a cuomo prime time exclusive tonight sprayed a claim that goes to the truth oft the president knew and when he knew about an event that is central to the special counsel's russia investigation. >> tonight sources of knowledge tell myself that michael cohen claims that then-candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june 2016 meeting in trump tower and white russians were expected to offer his campaign during hillary clinton >> it's very, very signi

now chuck schumer has been issued a call to action to republicans, saying the president is under a cloud. do you think that will make any difference? >> i would think that folks will understand that this has reached a point, like that point years ago during the watergate scandal. this is a situation where a court of the united states of america has accepted a guilty plea from someone who was the lawyer for president of the united states. and that person, in pleading guilty, basically made very clear that it was the then-candidate and now the president of the united states who directed him to commit a crime. this is a serious matter. >> lindsey graham, republican stalwart, friend of the president, has said this would not be the right time for a paul manafort pardon, because of the circumstances. would it be just a lightning rod if the president were to grant paul manafort a pardon now? >> i think that if the president were to grant a pardon, that would be evidence of yet another crime, which is obstruction of justice. >> you're a former attorney general, not just a lawyer, but you were an

. ♪ ♪ >> there's no worse nightmare for west virginia this november than p chuck schumer running the senate and nancy pelosi with maxine waters running the house. and that is why you must vote republican. you've got to get out and vote. you know, they keep talking about a blue wave. i don't see it. paul: president trump in west virginia tuesday urging republicans to get out and vote in the november midterms amid talk of a blue wave. a brand new fox news poll shows democrats with an 11-point advantage in the generic ballot with 49% of voters saying they'll vote for the democratic candidate compared to 38% for the republican. karl rove served as senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to president george w. bush. karl, welcome. first of all, on that generic poll, 11 points would be catastrophic for republicans if it's true. how do you see it? >> yeah. well, it would be wipeout territory. i think we need to take these polls with, first of all, a grain of salt, and if at all possible, average them together with other recent polls. and, frankly, the fox news poll is an outlier. if you ta

>> it's interesting that chuck schumer just said what he called it a bait and switch. what i would call a bait and switch is a law that's called the affordable care act that nobody can actually afford. it's the whole reason the administration is in this position to begin with because they are trying to create affordable options for people who lost their insurance because of the and portable care act. they're going to make politics out of it, they're going to use it against republicans in the november. the administration is talking what already exists, the only thing they are doing is expanding them and allowing people to stay on them longer. >> bret: when i talk to democrats, that's the first thing that comes out of their mouths is health care. >> they would love to be able to battle about health care. here is biggest challenge, they are pretty good for you if you are already healthy and don't have a pre-existing condition and you're just looking for something to make sure something catastrophic happens to you you are covered and for a decent price. that's not what is

if they have any chance to flip the majority, i'm the firewall to make sure chuck schumer, elizabeth warren and bernie sanders are not in charge in the senate. >> joining her on the ballot are dr. kelly ward and sheriff joe arpaio, the winner is likely to face the congresswoman kiersten in the winter. it would require me to believe in positions i don't hold on such issues as trade, immigration, and it would require me to condone behaviors that i cannot condone. even though the front runner to replace as the most moderate person on the ballot, flake says he has no regrets about not seeking reelection. >> this is the president's party, much to my consternation and i think to the long-term detriment of the party. i hope that's not always the case but today this is the president's party. >> i asked mick her if there wy similarities she wanted to share with primary voters, now to our colleague phil keating in florida. >> more than $150 million have been spent this year on the gubernatorial race and president trump plays a big factor in all of it. let's start with the republicans, it's goi

the problem is the president is tramping on their message which leaves chuck schumer very upset. >> we're working in a remarkably smooth bipartisan way. we hope that is a predent of things to come. we hope to work together and not let outside forces mess that up, not to mention any names. >> our immigration system is completely broken and he's begging and has been for can congress, particularly democrats, to step up and do their jobs, stop kicking the ball down the field and work with him to fix our system. it's that simple. >> again, this was the approach by senate republicans to work and try to pass some of these bills in good faith to show the president that they were passing these pieces of legislation and still he's stepping on their message. when the president talks about a government shut down, i remember talking to a republican congressman some years ago, the tactics of forcing a government shut down to get your way. trying to force a government shut down for political games is like trying to break dance around nitroglycerin. >> shepard: are republicans expressing concern about th
