credibility. paul manafort's sentence ended a chapter in the special counsel investigation. and beto o'rourke jumped into the 2020 presidential race leaving one big name waiting in the wings. >> who better to do i haive ione ques with us than chuck todd. just the last couple hours president trum vetoed the resolution. 12 republican senators defied him. what do you make of this? >> i know you think 12 senators rebuked him. when you look closerou realize boy the president has a lot of sway and wer. it should have been 40 republican senators if you look back at the rhetoric of many of these republican senators going back a few years in the on bama era the concern ofti exe overreach. if this were a secret ballot i think you would have had 90

senators total. in some ways i think the there were only 12 and the fact that 11 of the 12 weren't up -- one 2020er had the guts to vote against theenpres every other republican senator up for reelection in 2020 voted with him. even ones in tough general elections. they're so worried about the primary. one h you consider 12 senators rebuked him. the other han i think the power he has over his party shows you it's only 12 senators. >> the u.s. typically considered as we know an authority in aviation.th ultimate authority, really. but there is international criticism after these two plane crashes in five months. talk about the fallout with boeing and these planes. >> it's on boeing first and foremost. they have a lot more questions to answer for, considering this seems to be -- there was concerns after the i sandonesia

crash. i think the trump administration has to be concerned that you have a former boeg exec who's the acting defense secretary. was the slow response of the deral government at all -- right, is there any because of the connections that the federal government has with ng. i think that you got to be careful. boeing is suchha an -- the ties to both parties. this isn't something you just put on the trump administration, in fairness to them. boeing is abipartisan, if you company.e of that's i think the trump administration -- i tell you, the oddest thing of it all was the fact that trump himself announce it. it should have been the faa. this goes to a larger issue if trump continues to sort of try to bring the entire white house into him that he makes himself the lone ash or the of everything, the wall, the announcement of a ground, that is all and that goe to -- i think that creates bigger problems for him, i think in

running his administration, that is something that doesn't go over well withths in the administration. >> seems like every friday for weeks now we've been hearing that this special counsel investigation is -- we're almost, it's almost finished. we have the paul manafort ngntenced, we're hea a couple top people from that investigation are leaving for her jobs. what's going on? where do we stand with this? >> in fairness i didn't think it was going to happen today because i didn't think would submit the report on the ides of march. repo you don't hand reporters and television makers that easy copy like that. that washe one reason i didn't it would happen today. >> next friday then? >> you have the fact that the one thing we did hea from him today an extension for one of the witness he had flipped,

rick gates, the paul manafort attache who's still cooperating in multiple investigations. obously it's close, but, you know, he could be in the middle of writing the report and we may not see it for three or four weeks. at the end of the day we'll see it when we see it. we're clearly within the window. it's gng to be sometime before memorial day we see this thing. i think people ought to be careful guessing beyond that. >> let's talk docrats in 2020. beto o'rourke jumped in this week. joe still waiting in the wings. what is he waiting for? >> i don't know. it is interesting. he's basically the lt shoe. to drop. and i think he's putting extra pressure on himself, to be honest. because now his roll out is going to be cpared to all the other3 rollouts, whether it's fund-raising day one, bernie sanders 6 million, beto o'rourke

set a higher mark there. th crowds, kamala harris got big crowds. we'll see if betoets big crowds. that's the danger for biden here. any time you're not first in anything, if you're not the first in money, what's wrong withyou. amb amy g shar doesn't have that issue neither does cory booker. but when you're tops all you can do is go down. that's the danger biden has. i think there'so pressure make his -- he has to show that not only has he got the vigor to do is but also the apparatus. he's never had a great presidential campaign apparatus on his own in two previous races. with the help of ex-obama folks can he help that? >> he's taking his time. >> i think that's why he's taking time. i do. >> chuck todd, t >> i'm headed to iowa tomorrow.

then back here on sunday. come on, allur guests are in iowa, i have to find them asere. >> i going to say you have an interview with democratic senator and presidential candidate amy klobuchar in iowa. cory booker and beto'rourke are going to be within a stone throw of her. >> hopefully it won't be the snowstorm lik that photograph. >> she loved that photograph. >> makes her look very stoic. you have to wait until sunday 10:30 to find out who else he's got. coming up, weeks away from being released from a halfway house, erw the woman he kidnapped is fighting to keeput of her hometown. doug is tracking cnonges afterer day we hit the 70 degree mark.
