speakers will include his widow and two daughters, former presidents barack obama and bill clinton, hillaryhouse speaker nancy pelosi. >>> well, a former high ranking russian official says that america's role as a beacon of strength for the world, the america that he knew, is gone. and that has huge global ramifications. former russian foreign minister andre kosirev joins me now. he has just published an op-ed in "the new york times." let me just read a portion of that op-ed for everyone. you write, as the foreign minister of a newly democratic russia in 1992, i was in the same shoes as today's ukrainian leadership. when we needed and received american aid to consolidate our democracy. nobody took it for granted, but it was not viewed as just another diplomatic quid pro quo. so what is it like for you to watch this whole controversy play out now? >> yes, that's the problem. the problem is that it's not even a quid pro quo which is normal in diplomatic relations but not in these cases. this case looks to me more like abuse. abuse of power inside, i mean from american point of view, and the v

right now, two of the eulogies of today's service from former bill clinton and barack obama. anir comments are about half hour. collect thank you very much, bishop. all the members of the family and honorees. i thank you for many things, but especially for the decades of guidance and friendship you gave to elijah. it is true that almost exactly onyears ago he invited me the sunday before the election. i love that he introduced the staff, because we would all be dead without the people who were helping us. if you are president your staff is always trying to tell you why you shouldn't do something, why you shouldn't go somewhere. i remember it very well. , iday before the election get why you want to go to african-american church, but why would you want to go to baltimore? they always vote for you. why would you go for elijah cummings? he has been in the house 15 minutes, he literally had unfinished one term yet. he said, i get the feeling this is something we ought to do. and if we do it we will know whether it was right or not. the bishop rolls out the red carpet, thousands o

his family was joined by former presidents barack obama and bill clinton, secretary of state hillarynd several of his congressional colleagues at congressman cummings long time church in baltimore to say good-bye to a man who dedicated his public life to public service. cummings died last week at the age of 68 after more than 20 years in congress. this past year when democrats won the housed congressman cummings became the chair. he's undeniably more than a character in donald trump's america. and while no one speaking today directly mentioned the president of the united states he was certainly in the subtext when they reflected on the life of congressman cummings. >> it is no coincidence, is it, that elijah cummings shared a name with an old testament prophet. like the prophet, our elijah could call down fire from heaven. but he also prayed and worked for healing. he weathered storms and earthquakes but never lost his faith. like that old testament prophet, he stood against corrupt leadership by king ahab and queen jezebel. and he liked to remind all of us that you can't get so caug

generational candidates who are -- who have phenomenal skills, they had two in our lifetime, barack obama and bill clinton, naturally gifted political figures. they understand how to connect with people. they have charisma for days. none of the current field reaches that level of performance. and i think the danger that i've seen coming at the democratic party for a long time now is a lot of them still believe this is going to be a referendum about policy. this election is a referendum as all presidential re-elections are about trump. all the referendum thought in this election is going to be trump or not trump. "x" future or "y" future? if the future you want is trump kicking you in the face to all eternity elect donald trump. if you want to argue policy you are re-electing donald trump. trump hands them right now the opportunity to go after him as a man who is corrupt, who is ineffective, and who has led this country into a place where the reputation of our president is as an extortionist and mercenary. >> when our president tosses out a reference to a civil war -- >> right. i think that is, aga

sort of like the barack obama, the bill clinton, the one who's aspirational, inspirational.hat is sort of giving them worry right now and some pause in the campaign. that's sort of why you're seeing them kind of -- they don't want to be in this position where they're playing defense and that's all they've been playing right now. >> john, the -- we talked about this dynamic. biden kind of went away and went silent during the biggest fuselage from trump about ukraine, which however false spreads this notion that something hinkie was going on with the bidens and ukraine. that, in part, led to this. i'm going to quote from our friend mike allen over at axios. "biden hits trump for mixing family and government business but hunter biden's past work has made the former v.p. a target for trump. biden can weigh in on syria, but he has to reckon with the fact that he was there when president obama drew and ignored that red line. biden gets tangled up in the race debate because of his own record opposing some busing and comments about working with white segregationists." so, john, back
