senator hatch: senator mccaskill. senator mccaskill: will we have a hearing on the health care proposal? senator hatch: will we? senator mccaskill: on the proposal that you are planning to bring to the floor for a vote. will there be a hearing? senator mccaskill: we have no idea what's being proposed. there is a group of guys in a back room somewhere that are making these decisions. there were no hearings in the house. i mean, listen, this is hard to take because i know we made mistakes on the affordable care act, mr. secretary. and one of the crist sisms we got over and over again was that the vote was partisan. you couldn't have a more partisan exercise than what you are engaged in right now. we aren't going to have a hearing on a bill that impacts 1/6 of our economy or offer a single amendment. it is being done with an eye to get it by with 50 votes and the ice president. i'm stunned that that is what leader mcconnell would call regular order, which he said would be the order of the day when the republicans took th

ali. >> chairman johnson, member mccaskill, ranking member mccaskill senators, ladies and gentlemen i join you both in condemning the violence this morning and i pushed the congressman a swift recovery. thank you for this opportunity to talk to you about endangering our constitutions are freedoms and our way of life. clearly not all muslims pose a threat but some do. how can we tell the difference? we can by understanding the nature of islam. islam is part religion and part political military doctrine. it is a political doctrine consisting of a system of laws and a moral code that is totally incompatible with our constitution, our laws and our way of life. in 2017 there were two major governments that apply islamic law or sharia. saudi arabia and iran. as we sit here we are also fighting a rogue entity that goes by the name of the islamic state of iraq and syria or isis. isis implements sharia influenced extreme in its purest form to islamic law as practiced in these cases negates secular law and demand submission without question. women are subordinate to men and are denied such basi

with the bath that, i will turno senator mccaskill. i began doing what is the meat and potatoes of my work on the oversight and i was moved in your opening statement that you expressed such a reaction in the senate and was appreciated that you talked about what makes the senate so important in the constitutional framework which is the way that protects the rights of the minority to be heard. it is changing the way you need to procurement in the contingency operation. you could imagine how they do not respond to the request for information so we asked that question of all of you and ask to play to any reasonable request of a duly constituted committee of congress you said yes. thank you for that answer. subject to the discretion and advice of legal counsel, do you agree as a lawyer with the decision that just because i am a democrat i'm not entitled to information that allows me to do oversight as a member of the senate and as the ranking member of the government oversight committee? >> in terms of the guidance given out and having them

and still ahead on "morning joe," republican senator ron johnson and claire mccaskill join us. both think the gop needs to slow down on the health care vote. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. i realize that ah, that $100k is not exactly a fortune. well, a 103 yeah, 103. well, let me ask you guys. how long did it take you two to save that? a long time. then it's a fortune. well, i'm sure you talk to people all the time who think $100k is just pocket change. right now we're just talking to you. i told you we had a fortune. yes, you did. getting closer to your investment goals starts with a conversation. schedule a complimentary goal planning session today. lwho's the lucky lady? i'm going to the bank, to discuss a mortgage. ugh, see, you need a loan, you put on a suit, you go crawling to the bank. this is how i dress to get a mortgage. i just go to lendingtree. i calculate how much home i can afford. i get multiple offers to compare side by side. and the best part is... the banks come crawling to me. everything you need to get a better mortgage. clothing optiona

you talk about claire mccaskill, if you are claire mccaskill, how do you win this race? to go that way? >> you talked in the previous segment or block with era tandon, a big hillary clinton supporter. i think she has the finger on the pulse of the democrats. she says that ossoff should have burned it down. that is what they were doing. that is what they were doing. i think that they think they need to match aggressiveness, trump style, but only trump hazmat styles. and he is teflon. he has said things that most people in politics but never recover from. he just walks away from it. that doesn't mean that other people -- >> martha: i don't know when you look at the approval numbers. >> i wouldn't worry so much about the day-to-day tracking numbers. his base is solid. over the summer, if they are able to get legislation that he can sign so that republicans who have been with him in large part can say, this is what we want. he might not be everything that we wanted but we want it bad. we want health care, tax reform, we like the foreign policy. i think the approval ratings a

and that is something democrats, like claire mccaskill last week, have been raising publicly. >> we haveidea what's being proposed. there's a group of guys in a back room somewhere that are making these decisions. there were no hearings in the house. i mean, listen, this is hard to take. because i know we made mistakes on the affordable health care act, mr. secretary. and one of the criticisms we got over and over again that the vote was partisan. well you couldn't have a more partisan exercise than what you're engaged in right now. we're not even going to have a hearing on a bill that impacts one-sixth of our economy. >> desjardins: mccaskill wants something called "regular order." what is that? what used to be the normal process, a bill goes through committee hearings, where experts and those affected by an issue ring in, then senators on the committee can vote to change the bill with amendments. and then when a bill gets to the senate floor - regular order means another chance to change it with amendment votes there too. in 2009, with the affordable care act, two senate committees hel

mccaskill: will the senator yield for a question? no. the presiding officer: he doesn't have the floor. mrs. mccaskill: next time i'll know when he's giving a speech when he objects to start then. i want to say that his staff in wyoming is not coming to washington to buy their insurance. i'm pretty sure that all of our staffs -- i'm pretty sure, mr. president, your staff is not coming to washington it buy their insurance -- those who work for you in utah. i'm pretty sure that senator manchin's staff and senator patty murray's staff and all of our staffs that live all over this great country, they are not coming to washington it buy their insurance. they are getting a good health insurance plan. and i just think it takes incredible nerve to lecture me about people in missouri having no insurance while you're objecting to letting them get the same insurance you've got. really? that's what this has come to -- this partisan exercise? we don't have to fix this permanently this way, but we could do it just temporarily to give people peace of m

joining me now is democratic senator claire mccaskill of missouri. welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> so you were called out today on the floor by the most senior republican in the united states senate orrin hatch. and he went through specific states and of members of the finance committee where the premiums have gone up and he said in missouri that premium versus gone up on obamacare 145%. the implication is where have they been and he singled out only states for members on the committee, essentially asking, where has senator mccaskill been? where have all these senators been in trying to fix obamacare in the last three, four years. how would you have answered him if you have been on the floor when he said this? >> i would have said i have been right here trying to get fixes for obamacare. i have asked different times different colleagues for various things to strengthen the individual marketplace. keep in mind thatting in is so misleading because only .5% of missouriens are buying insurance on the exchange without subsidies, so that is a very mi

missouri's claire mccaskill says she's not sure that's the answer. >> at the end of the day, i like that i drive to the grocery store and talk to women and men in the produce department about what's going on. >> reporter: many law makers argue they need to turn the m e microscope on themselves, dialing down political rhetoric that has divided the nation. >> i am for all of us to remember that we are, first, americans. >> reporter: a number of lawmakers described today's incident as a wake-up call, as one senator put it, scott, congress can set a tone for the nation showing that you can disagree without animosity. >> our chief congressional correspondent nancy cordes. thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. . >>> the 66-year-old gunman was from belleville, illinois, but jeff pegues tells us he'd been living out of his van since march. >> reporter: he was interviewed at an occupy wall street protest. >> 99% are getting pushed around, and the 1% are just not giving a damn. >> reporter: he was also known to post anti-republican comments online. on facebook recently, he was di

and ranking member mccaskill. i want to start this morning, too, by adding my thoughts and prayers with those who were injured following this morning's horrific shooting. and i want to thank the men and women of the capitol police for the service they provide. they keep us safe every day and all the time. and as we saw today, are willing to risk their lives for the mission of keeping us all safe. so i am very grateful to them as i am to all law enforcement and first responders today. and with that said, i want to turn to broaden the discussion a little bit. mr. leiter with you, about the issue of home-grown extremist and terrorism. in your view how can the department of homeland security work to prevent americans from being radicalized, whatever their idealogy -- or whatever the idealogy is that inspires them to be radicalized to the point where they're willing to carry out violence? are we going to be able to arrest our way out of the threat of home grown terrorism or are we going to have to build partnerships? a

i'll start out with senator mccaskill. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i appreciate the note you ended on, secretary kelly, and i'm -- while i condemn the leak and the person who leaked it, we now have in the public domain verified information that the russians made a aggressive attempt to access not only a vendor of voter software in this country but also a number of states, the voter file databases in the month prior o our election. i mean, in any other circumstances, this would be an earthquake. because of everything else going on, i don't think enough attention has been given to something that is your responsibility as the secretary of homeland security, and that is critical infrastructure, including the election systems. i have asked for a number of pieces of information. this is one area where we have not gotten a response yet. i do appreciate that you all have not frozen us out. many of my colleagues are being frozen out across the government. you have not frozen us out. i'm deeply grateful for that. i am anxious to get more information about what

let me go back to senator claire mccaskill.senator, i want to go back to what i was asking you right before we went to the press conference. senator mark warner, ranking member on senate intel said russia attacks are much broader than what had been reported so far. how bad is it? >> well, the leaked document, which by the way, i condemn that someone unleaked this document. but it is now out in the public domain. it cites, i think, eight or nine states. senator warner today sai that based on the information he has seen, it is many more states than just those. i don't know the exact number. but what russia was doing is think were trying to first go into a vendor that works with states on voter registration. they phoneyed up an e-mail address to look like they were a vendor for absentee ballot work, and they were trying to get into these voter files. now, in any other environment this would be a major, major news story. but this part of the russian effort has gotten very little attention. >> well, it didn't until it got leaked. we

. >> while i condemn the leaks and the person who leaked it -- >> reporter: claire mccaskill asked states to protect the system. >> whether or not they accessed tabulation, it's clear they were tried to get into a voter file. >> i don't disagree with anything you said. >> the kremlin is denies any interference. and u.s. officials have said that it did not affect the election's outcome. >>> she's in federal custody. and her stepfather says she served in the air force for six years and is a patriot. >>> controversy in the world of girls soccer. officials at a tournament in nebraska disqualified an entire team because someone thought one of the players was a boy. she was listed on a roster as male something that organizers said was a typo. >> they don't have a reason to kick the whole club out. >> i apologize, she was 8 years old. and she was able to provide an insurance card and another document listing her gender as female. >>> a new push to fight the opioid epidemic. naloxone is used to treat someone on an overdose. and the cdc guidelines apply to large prescriptions of opioids. but there

she didn't have a single question for them, nor did senders heidi heitkamp and claire mccaskill, then the committee. why the silence? she joined us tonight. thank you for coming on, you wrote a powerful piece in "the new york times" in which you said that not only do these purported feminists in the senate ignore you, an actual woman who has suffered under sharia law, one of them, claire mccaskill questioned the reason for the hearing in the first place and ineffective school to do by implication for complaining about it. >> we were shocked. , we have lived experience in the phenomenon of an ideology of extremism within islam. it is a spilling blood throughout the world and it's causing too many casualties among women especially. we thought we would have an engagement with women and senders in particular. we sat there as i sit before you right now and they completely ignored us. i looked them in the eye and they never would even look us in the eye. this is a failure on the part of too many progressives in tackling the very serious issue of islamic extremism. if it's a crisis today an

. >> senator mccaskill? >> i think we agree that extreme ideology is important and that we must focus on it. and we must fight it. but we have to do that within our constitutional parameters. for example, we can't ban that book. we can't ban it in the united states of america. that's not how we role. we have to fight it with the appropriate tools of our government and civil laws. as we fight it i think the facts really matter. i think it's important it remain fact chul. you discussed european no go zones. you brought experience working with our partners. you worked arm in arm with your counter parts in these year pea yan countries. is that fact chul? are there no go zones in europe? >> in my experience in denmark, germany, france having worked with law enforcement officials i never saw anything resembling no go zone. >> and in the written testimony -- and by the way, i would love to see the citations of the 140 cases because the one you site specifically it is therefore subject to sherrea law. are you famili

joining us now is claire mccaskill. we're all thinking of you, the senate, and the house on a day like today. >> yeah, it is a moment where i really hope that not just those of us who serve, but the people that we serve, could put down the partisanship long enough to unite. against even. unspeakable evil in the face of common desen sis. i hope this is a moment that will bring us closer together to remember there are so many things that do unite us and we get caught up in the back and forth, and many times that important principal goes by the wayside. >> do you have concerns, we just heard from senator sandersings that partisans on both sides are going to try to take action because he was a member of protesting against republicans. >> this is not the first time that someone has been shot by someone who was not well and had evil in their heart if is not the last, but i think a big mistake to use this as a moment to find division among us. to take sides, to sign up for teams, to play gotcha politics. this is a moment we al

kennedy: that goes for the democrats that chris stirewalt was talking about this. >> claire mccaskillidn't want this, joe manchin doesn't want this. i think it can help him move his legislative agenda forward. >> it did with the first round of the health care bill. freedom caucus shot it down and donald trump started calling them out by name and said we have to remove those guys. the freedom caucus switched. they wrote the bill and passed it, half a dozen of those guys don't like it at all. if he can get momentum against senators, that's a big f and preliminary indication. kennedy: we're going to talk about health care later on and the party panel, of course, is going to return later because there's much to discuss tonight. when we come back, a violent stabbing at a michigan-area airport is being investigated as an act of terrorism. was this a lone-wolf attack or part of a wider plot? bryan suits always has fantastic intuitions and reactions, he's with me when i come back. my business was built with passion... but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the s

claire mccaskill from missouri calling this unspeakable evil and praying for steve scalise and policell be okay. this is especially shocking because it was so early in the mornin the few bipartisan events in washington. it happens tomorrow. >> you turn away from work and play. >> right. and we know there's been a lack of bipartisanship on capitol hill. they were practicing today for the game tomorrow. >> this was a republican practice. the democrats were practicing miles away and they immediately started praying when they heard the news. >> we talked to a witness who described a really harrowing experience where steve scalise on second base reportedly shot in the hip, drags himself into the dugout to try and save himself, screaming, happening. several members of congress retreating to an apartment building, trying to take shelter there. a witness telling us about trying to sheikh shelter. >> and calling their wives or relatives to say i'm okay. very frightening report. we're going to go to major garrett. and vice president have been briefed about this event, which is still unfolding.

clair mccaskill has people who get one-off strong responses, but anthem, a big insurance company thereinsurance exchange, and they will likely further withdraw sharp increases in plans if they aren't given a certainty about the future of the aca, particularly the cost-sharing payments. president donald trump has threatened to stop them. it's clear it is republicans undermining health care right now. where is the unified democratic response? i'm not sure they know how to respond. >> no, clearly they don't. but again, even that story points the way for what democrats should be saying, that the republican party at the trump white house is doing anything and everything to not only repeal the affordable care act, repeal obamacare, but setting up the conditions to make it possible that if they can't repeal and so-call replace obamacare that the whole thing potentially implodes. not because it's unpopular, but because the white house administration has made it so uncertain that -- businesslike certainty, and when there's uncertainty, they do whatever it takes to protect themselves. if that me

senator mccaskill was asking me specifically to response to former oversight letters and as it pertained to the olc memorandum. >> let's get to that. so you're saying that as it relates to formal requests from the minority party from this committee, that you have no intention of responding to those requests? >> senator, i'm going to look to the direction of our legal team and the director in how we respond to various oversight levels and one of the things we'll be looking to is the olc opinion. >> so my question is, do you think that yesterday when secretary kelly gave us an unequivocal answer that he intends to cooperate with the minority party to respond to any requests that he's violating that legal important and doing something illegal in making that commitment to us? >> senator, i don't know what secretary kelly said. he is running his department and agency -- >> under the same legal guidelines from the office of legal counsel, correct? that opinion applies equally to you and secretary kelly. >> correct. >> is that correct? >> yes, ma'am. >> why is your distinction different than se

mccaskill: i know you are in a difficult position. i just think it does not help our cause in terms of adequately funding our military if the president is giving the country the impression it is. that is the point i was trying to make. in addition to the strategy for afghanistan, i'm awaiting the strategy on isis which was supposed to be ready 30 days after the president took office. we still do not have that. finally i want to turn to the strategy on cyber. we spent a lot of time worrying about the russian hacking politicians. i'm worried about the russians hacking our military and doing the things they are doing in terms of planting stories and gathering information. fancy bare, who has been identified as our intelligence and all the intelligence experts as one of the premier agents of russia in terms of cyber warfare. the people that fancy bear has targeted outside the former soviet union, 41% of them are either current or former members of the military. according to a recent analysis. russia hacked the twitter account of central c

officers who were shot are going to be okay, according to senator mccaskill there. our viewers who are joining us on cbs that what has happened is a shooting at baseball field in alexandria, virginia, in washington, d.c., where republican members of congress were practicing for the bipartisan baseball game and a member of the house, steve scalise, was shot in the hip. he was medevacked out. there are portedly three others out including a gunman who is now in custody as well as two capitol police officers. >> and we're hearing too, norah, from congressman brad wine strep who served in iraq said he attended to steve scalise's wounds. he said the gunman was armed with a rifle and a pistol. the gunman had moved from the third base dugout. that it all seemed to last 10 to 15 minutes before law enforcement moved in. >> in fact, we have audio of that. let's listen. >> i was standing on my front porch and heard shots fired. i was on the phone calling 911. asia was on the phone, i saw one woman running away at taupe speed obviously in a panic and i heard bullets. another eye
