and we know joe biden has shared his support on twitter. he was tweeting his support for senator mccain. he's known the man for 40 years and he said he's confident mccain will beat it. >> it's got to be tough to learn former vice president biden for him that his friend is battling it. also kbraking news right now. >>> president trump lashing out, openly criticizing jeff session for recusing in the russia scandal. >> the president telling the "new york times" that sessions acted unfairly and that sessions' decision led to the appointment of a special counsel. >> sessions gets the job. right after he gets the job he recuses himself. >> is that a mistake? >> well, sessions should never have recused himself. and if he was going to recuse himself he shod would have appointed someone else. >> he also said if mueller looked into his family's finances unrelated to russia, he would consider it crossing a red line. not exactly saying what that means in the future. >> he didn't say what he would do if he crossed that red line. >>> speaking of red line

so, these greek americans finally got to joe biden, argued my case.iden was one of only two living senators who voted against the law that was i was convicted of violating and, indeed, the author of the law wrote a letter to president obama saying this is not why we wrote the law, this guy should never have been prosecuted in the first place. so four days before donald trump became president, one of the greeks and biden went to see the president on my behalf and this greek american told me afterwards i would have been so proud after joe biden that he really argued for me and finally at the end of his five. minute argument laying out my case for the president, the president said, guys, i'm just not going to do this, it's either manning or him and manning has 35 years. that's how it ended for me. >> ah. when the word -- when that word made its way back to you, first of all, who told you that? >> the greek who was in the meeting with the president. >> that's what i figured. and when this greek friend of yours said this to you, how did you take that? how

joe biden.honored to have you here today since you began your career you have stood up for the middle class, for working people, for families and the interests of the less fortunate everywhere. your time in the senate and in the white house have made this country better and i just want to welcome you back home to pennsylvania. [ applause ] >> i'm proud to be here to help commemorate the opening of the new museum, this museum of the american revolution that will act as a monument to the lives of those who created this great nation. there is no better home for this museum than in philadelphia, than in pennsylvania, am i right? [ applause ] >> because this museum tells the story of the women and the men who created this nation right here in philadelphia where this nation began. located with only -- within only a few blocks of the museum are a number of historic treasures that tell the story of how a loose band of colonials toppled a mighty empire that created for two centuries from independent hall

bo died and biden decided not to run for president. >>> all right. sue palka joins us you now. inition to the heat and humidity today we had share of storms around the region. >> had our share of flash flooding around the leightonsville area. i tweet aid couple of pictures from our photographs craig little who is out. there he found quite a bit of average davrm wood field and brink field area. check it out and we'll certainly bring you pictures here just in a little while. i'm happy to tell you flash flood warning in effect for montgomery county has been there and most places are seeing things wind down with one notable exception. eastern portions of districts, western portions of prince george county and we have a new storm trying to fire up there and we'll talk about that in a moment. it's not severe. i hope it will weaken out. we have a flash flood warping in the baltimore area. this is widely scattered. storms are slow movers they tend to reign 24e78selves out in one area this is what we're watching in eastern portions of d.c. and prince george t

. >> claimed the lives of senator ted kennedy and both biden -- beau biden matter of fact.ell us more. >> this one certainly tough one. send more mccain returning at his home in arizona said to be in good spirit after doctors removed brain tumor. it was discovered during surgery to remove a blood clot above his left eye last friday. doctors have diagnosed the 80 year old with a cancer known as glioblastoma. it is a highly malignant form of cancer that spreads quickly because it is so close to a large network of blood vessels in the brain. mccain as you know has a history of health problems including melanoma. in some started to speculate about his health, six weeks ago when the senator appeared confused during congressional hearings with former fbi director james comey. listen. >> you reach the conclusion that there was no reason to bring charges against secretary clinton, so you reached a conclusion in the case of mr. comey, the president comey -- >> no, sir. >> case of president trump. >> it include combination of chemotherapy and radiation, former vice president joe bide

the architect of these laws are architects of these laws were biden clinton and the democratic party absolutely is extraordinarily relevant piece that's quite often you know misled i was actually one of the more interesting things in terms of mandatory minimums is gun and handsome and that's a big one even in the big mandatory in a plane with that once so that basically means is that if you commit a certain crime especially a drug crime with a gun there is then now a new mandatory sentence that you are forced to be a part of and this is mandatory minimums recently have come under a lot of scrutiny and last year there was almost a move to sort of push to reform them at the federal level but the one thing they definitely kept was the major enhancements around gun crimes in this column and major hammond's we should explain means that if you are convicted the time that you serve is automatically increased absolutely that there is no leeway in terms of well at least a minimum has to be in terms of where you're sentenced and the original version of that gun law the one that went nationwide

a much larger creditor bill that also and this is very relevant quite frankly at the behest of joe biden created civil asset forfeiture which is something that now is everyone is critiquing what that's it and which is the way the state can rob all your possessions and money but maybe what it can explain at work no absolutely and so the crazy thing is that you don't have to be convicted of a god for civil you decide to be accused so if you like a drug dealer they accuse you of being about your charged yet you're charged and you're whatever sitting in jail awaiting trial they can go in take all your stuff and say it's the little guy and where is there i go explain rego it goes to the police department and i didn't use it to finance their own thing so there's obviously a perverse incentive at work there so let's talk about that because the if this was a move by the democrats to take back in their words the issue or the you know so-called law and order and they did they were quite successful at it devastating the underclass in particular poor people of color. our prison system exploded under

but also a message from joe biden who lost his own son, beau biden, to the same brain cancer back inn mccain for decades wrote, quote, he is strong, and he will beat this. >> and it's so touching to see senator graham there kind of fighting back tears when he's talking about his long friend. what do we know about this tumor? >> look, glioblastoma is rare. 12,000 people a year are diagnosed. it's aggressive. the five-year survival rate for people over the age of 55 is just 4%. he's recovering well, they're going with optimism and positivity. they are confident he will beat this. >> so many people have their thoughts and prayers with the mccain family. he is what many consider to be an american hero for so many years. >> wish him well. amna, thank you. >>> a group of american senators in the meantime, failed to break an impasse on health care after a late night meeting. they gathered hours after a white house lunch with the rest of their colleagues. >> president trump is turning up the pressure to repeal and replace obamacare, telling them not to leave for their august recess until the

since joe biden has left public life, the bidens have never been more public.ividing cancer initiative formed to honor beau. delaware, the of biting institute for domestic initiatives. there's a new political action committee, available for raising money for democratic candidates and maybe one last try at the white house in 2020. 2016,ided not to run in the choice he made while still in mourning. he said do i regret not being present? he said yes. this is the subject of a book that will come out on november 14. it will undoubtedly include variation of what if? joe biden is arguably the most popular former vice president in history. his wife got a standing ovation at this year's tony awards. earlier this month there was excited buzz when the couple walked into manhattan's music box theatre. glenn, hello. caller: hi, how are you? host: you are on. go ahead. caller: yes? host: you are on the air. caller: ok. i think we should legalize it because it is not as bad as alcohol. host: when you say it is not as bad, what you mean by that? caller: alcohol is addictive. p

this week former vice president joe biden and his wife jill biden launched the biden cancer initiativeoke to the couple after the launch. >> what i learned from our son's batt battle, and we lost him two years ago, not until soerch eight years ago did we have this unity of disciplines. you have oncologists and viral gists and chemical jeers and therapy. it's working in ways that in my estimation it didn't work in the past that so david, what are the goals of joe biden's involvement with cancer? >> to me it's inspiring. with the tragedy of family, they're trying to take it and help everyone else. the goal of this new initiative is to accelerate things. ing hes ha would have taken ten years, they want to take five years. they can do so by removing hurdles. accessing clinical trials. calling things the same name so we can pal from it and learn it. he and dr. biden are going to work together with us to try to mack a difference. >> david, as alex alluded to, vice president biden headed up cancer moon shot which was a 21st cures acted as part of the obama bipartisan legislation. do we need m

six years ago, the obama administration said enough is enough and joe biden has been a great champion and respecting women and saying it is not your fault. we want the truth to come out, whether it is over 95% of the time. i'm sure you will address that, the truth is that it is not their fault. obama expanded title ix protections and encouraged survivors hope and courage to come forward. now the trump administration is dismantling that progress, attacking title ix protections, which include transgender students, and cutting funding for the office of civil rights. this is inequality and injustice. my comments are about respect for women and strengthening the office of civil rights of the education department, not weakening it. last month marked the 44th in the first week of title ix. the stories of how hard it was to pass at the time are legendary. there has always been the snipping away from those who would like to get rid of it. the sad thing is that women still have to face harassment. every woman has a right to feel safe on campus. the survivors and advocates we have been meeting w

joe biden should a statement too. he is strong and he will beat this. his son just succumbed to brain cancer. >> and vice-president biden is part of the moon shot. how close are we being able to cure cancer. >> it's part of this immuno-therapy idea. that's part of the moon shot and the cure for cancer act that was just passed. that's a big role. there are experimental treatments showing response in some people. i believe he will look into that. >> i think it's important to remember that john mccain is not a republican, he is an american. when we talk about the differences between health care and tax relief or anything like that, the russia controversy, john mccain is an american hero. it goes beyond parties. which things like this happen, it's important for everybody to recognize that this man dedicated his life to this country. not the party, but to the country. we owe him a debt of gratitude. >> and a good father and husband as well. >> i saw him at the baseball game and he stood up with the troops when the troops were honored. you should heard the ou

gerri: i want you to hear something vice president joe biden had to say. he said let's make the commitment that american healthcare is a right for all, not a privilege for the wealthy. is healthcare a right? >> people have a right to access to care. that's what i focused on being a doctor. but what the democrats are focusing on is a government-run program, single payer which leads to rationing, long lines. it's why people from those countries come to the united states for care. i operate on canadians who come to the united states to have an operation because they couldn't afford to wait for the free operation in canada. so there is a significant cost to what joe biden is recommending, a single payer government-run program. gerri: i want to switch to tax reform. it's what the white house is focusing on. the trump administration planning a coordinated effort on healthcare. what do you have to say about that, the move to tax reform? >> tax reform is very important in terms of a growing, strong, healthy economy. we have a simplified system and we need a lower

together obama-biden expanded title 9 support and gave survivors hope and enkurjcouragt to come forward. now trump is attacking that, cutting funding and staff for the office of civil rights. this is inequality, it is injustice. so my comments are about respect for women and strengthening of the office of civil rights of the education department, not weakening it. last month marked the 45th anniversary of title 9. the stories of how hard it was to pass at the time are legendary here. i won't go into them. however there has always been this nipping away, there's some in congress who just would like to get rid of it. sad truth is that women face equity discrimination and harassment. every woman has a right to feel safe on campus to the survivors and advocates here that we have been meeting with today, we believe you. we will never stop fighting until we wipe out the scorch of sexual assault where it may occur. campus sexual assault is an epidemic in america. it's important to note that it's unacceptable that one in four women are sexually assaulted on campus. so thank you, my colleagues,

. >>> president joe biden and senator ted kennedy were often -- were also afflicted with this often deadly cancer. he's gotten through so much difficulty with so much grace and is strong and he will beat this. >>> now, the political impact on capitol hill. senator mccain was one of the leads that mitch mcconnell was counting on to pass the healthcare bill. they could only afford two republicans to defect and still pass the bill. until mccain can return, the margin is now down to one. >>> the lingering russia investigation has president donald trump lashing out at his own attorney general, jeff sessions and fired fbi director james comey. >> we love this job. we love this department and i plan to continue long as that is appropriate. >> reporter: attorney general jeff sessions said he has no plans to resign despite her -- despite reports that president donald trump regrets hiring him. president trump vented to the new york times on sources said he used the recusal from the russian investigation as a sign of weakness. >> sessions should have never recused himself and if he was going to recus

biden reportedly laughed. putin did not.cceeded at unnerving the president of france. in a documentary that aired on french public broadcasting, a journalist said putin berated nicolas sarkozy in a public meeting leaving sarkozy visibly shaken for his press conference that followed. >> this is, again, a way of setting a tone in a relationship where if you have anything resembling empathy for the story he tells, you kind of feel like you owe them something, what are we going to do to make up for it, how to we apologize, how do we make it right? >> reporter: vladimir putin's power play, his next target could be president donald trump. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >>> lots to discuss now with an expert on each president, ben juda, author of "fragile empire: how russia fell in and out of love with vladimir putin." michael dantonio, author of "the truth about trump." ben, i want to start with you here, knowing what you know about vladimir putin, which direction do you expect him to go in tomorrow? are we talking about a power play

minutes to ask questions, and biden talked for 24 of the 30 minutes.s how senators often ask questions. so there are not many senators who really know how to press a witness. but some of them may. and they better tell the truth because mueller is going to be listening very carefully. >> that's the thing. if anybody is expecting there to be fireworks next week, probably anti-climactic. the game is it's a long game, as we found out, not to go back to ken starr, but they could say something that sounds perfectly reasonable and plausible during this testimony that later on turns out to have been a lie. and then they're in hot water. >> if you are the lawyer for say paul manafort, jeff, do you let him go and testify under oath with risk of perjury if you haven't cut a deal with mueller? first thing you want to do is cop a plea. >> i'm very surprised that manafort would be testifying, because he doesn't have a political imperative to testify. obviously, donald trump, jr., jared kushner doesn't want to take the fifth. that would be politically incendiary. pau

senior advisor to both hillary clinton and joseph biden. thanks, jake for joining us today. >> thanks for having me. >> i wonder, a series of presidents, democrat and republican said we will not allow north korea to get a nuclear tipped missile. here we are today, it appears that this is an icbm, whether it's a tested capability to deliver a nuclear device is another question. but have we gotten close to that point to the point where it's effectively a reality? >> we've gotten close, but we're not there yet. they have now crossed the threshold of what the experts define as being an icbm. they can fly the missile more than 3,400 miles. what they haven't done is shown either they can put a miniaturized nuclear weapon on top of it or that they can master the reentry vehicle or the targeting to make it an effective weapon. so, there is still work for the north koreans to do. but what we saw yesterday was a big leap forward for north korea and one that should certainly make us all sit up and take notice because it means they are moving faster th
