6:16 pm
accusations. presidenthile the continues to deny interference in our election. chuck, what are we to make of all of this? >> well, let me add the word in that it was -- if you could read between the lines of why would russia be interesd in the appropriators in the united states senate? it's calledhaanctions ands obviously they would like to see congress roll back some of the sanction against a number of personal russian oligarchs, plue le in the russian government. it is interesting. i rememberhen they saw this, listen, usually saw codels, congressional delegations. not really paid for unless you have a bipartisan team. lindsey graham and elizabeth warren, not exactly abbott and costello partners in the united states senate traveled together to iraq this week, for example. that's a codel, always a member of the opposite party on a good senate-building relationship.
6:17 pm
this is weird not a single democrat and this is about sort of setting the stage for what could be coming from the summit in putin. what i did find interesting is the criticism is certainly having an impact on some of the shores. john thune put out a statement about an hour or s ago and made it clear we confronted him and told him they are sill are -- we know you interfered in our eltions, so john thune is a member of leadership at least sensitive to what i optically a very awkward trip. >> optically do they have to do it on the fourth of july? that's the this that really sticks out like a sore thumb on this thing? >> you know, nyleon, so of these things that they do. this feels reallye l 6 on the outrage meter here. but that's -- there i not downside from looking pro-russia to republicans. ink about ainute. >> you know, we' all wondered what would ronald reagan think if he were alive today? you know. the his republican party is a
6:18 pm
pro-putin party or coming acro -- i don'tant to say pro-putin but certainly comfortable with him. >> mm-h. >> that isuite -- quite a sea change in what is clearly an authoritarian regime in russia. not had a democracy and it's not necessarily back to communism but it's back to authoritarian. >> and speakingf authoritarians, talk about north korea, okay. nbc ns reporting there's new evidence they have stepped up their nuclear produdion program trying to hide some of their facilities. ike pompeo is over there right now. what do we know about what kind of progress is being made? >> i think the pressure ismi on pompeo to deliver here and essentially prove to what i i think a skeptical u.s. congress that everything that many experts or veterans of these north korean rapprochements in the past will have toiled is,ur of , this is what's going to happen.
6:19 pm
they will talk a big game and walk away so mike pompio, now the pressure on him t deliver something ofan sub that's verifiable. i know it's a tall order and pompeo advocates are worried he's being set up as the fall guy if he can't make this happen but the president views pompeo his guy and his point man on this. f go this. this is a go fix this trip. everything has been tdermined fr summit, but i think the pressure to bring back something tangible, deliverable and verifiable is very -- i don't knowf he can do that because i don't think this regime is ready to do it. it's not aut pompeo. it's about north korea. >> go fix this is what he said to congress about immigration, too. see where in a got us. scott pru yirkts the other big story this week. he's been under investigation and swirling in drama for mont. do we kno what caused him to -- to finally bail? >> i think it's an important thing to try to figure out, because if you're a republican
6:20 pm
who is petrified of these tariffs, if you're a republican who is petrified of the nato rhetoric, you're wondering wt es it take to get him to finally back down from his position, right? so what finally got him to ce? what did it? is it just simply proof, hey, this is an eleoral problem now for elected republicans? what does it make? i think a lot of -- the policy isn't going to change at the epa, but something finally convinced the president, oh, my god,ka look, i've heard one theory it's the new assistant chieff staff bill shine going hey, this looks back and we know for this president optics matter, and at some point idea that is guy was embarrassing him on a daily basis, and it was getting on thi teon more often, that's when this president seems to care. look, it was the cheating images that got him to cngeis migration and tv is the common denominator. >> and there's fox newscs cri who are criticizing? >> and he's sensitive to foxca
6:21 pm
opy more than any other thing. >> who is coming up and joining you this week? >> we'll talk to dick durbin, number two in the democraticad ship and roy blount, also the republican leadership in the senate. supreme court, tariffs. >> a whole lot going on. >> nato. >> not a slow summer. >> and the senate intel committee came out with their report on the russian investigation. 'll actually dig intothat, too. >> lots to cover. thanks, judge todd. >> fourth ofee july for delivering again. >> and to remind you, "meet the press" suny morning a 10:30. get it right here on nbc 4. >> coming up just ahead here, apper safety doesn't just pools and playgrounds. why police in arlington want you to be aware of potential threats elsewhere. >> and amelia is up next tracking a much more comfortable weekend, and the second named storm of the atlantic hurrican
