. >> joining us from washington, d.c., capitol hill reporter for ""the hill" molly hooper.at to have you with us. a lot of drama on the floor of the u.s. congress. before we get to that let's talk about the white house invitation to vladimir putin blindsiding a lot of people. it is one thing for dan coates to not necessarily know the specifics of when the invitation will go out, even the timing of it, but he didn't even seem to know that vladimir putin was going to be invited to the white house at all. what does that tell you about the way this white house is operating? >> reporter: well, i will tell you what congress is saying about with it. essentially, senator mitch mcconnell's spokesperson told the hill that vladimir putin won't be welcome in congress. they're not going to have a joint address to congress like they did when emmanuel macron was here earlier this year. normally when foreign officials come over and are visiting, meeting with the president and what not, they will go to the house, they will go to the senate. they will make the rounds, talking with the speake

ultimately, capitol hill moved on. so is this time going to be any different?f we use history as our guide, likely not. as axios reported today, quote, they see no upside in speaking out and fear political suicide if they do. jess macintosh, a former campaign advisor to hillary clinton, and rick wilson a gop strategist. rick, you can understand where republicans are coming from. every time they push back on the president from charlottesville to the a"access hollywood" tape they have been proven wrong in terms of voters. voters will still vote for donald trump. do you think it's still a good idea to put polls and voters, not voters, but to put votes, excuse me, over a national security issue like the one we saw on monday? >> well, they do so at their peril. these are guys who put their honor in escrow a long time ago when it comes to donald trump. he is not going to ever be a better candidate or a better president. he is always going to do these things to them. they are going to keep touching the hot stove time and time again. what we have seen in the special el

there's also, you know, who were alarmed, both parties alarmed on capitol hill. basically saying they could not believe what they heard coming from helsinki. jeff flake tweeting immediately after the putin-trump summit saying "i never thought i would see the day when our american president would stand on the stage with a russian president and place blame on the united states for russian aggression, this is shameful. a democrat on the house intelligence committee said that lawmakers have to respond in a bipartisan way. we were told, "it's disgusting, disgraceful un-american behavior. we can do something about it here in the united states capitol and we might as well stay home if we're going to let this president continue to to this. some leading republicans that don't go out of their way to criticize president trump were upset with what they heard tooed. the president has to realize that vladimir putin is not a friend of the united states. there's no way to compare the actions which works on human rights and democracy building compared to putin's record. there's a

right now though, that tidal wave of condemnation streaming down pennsylvania avenue, from capitol hill to the white house. president trump continuing to draw bipartisan fire for that summit with vladimir putin. siding from the kremlin over u. -- with the kremlin over u.s. intelligence. >> first of all, he said there was no collusion whatsoever. i guess he said it as strongly as you can say it. they have no information on trump. i don't think the people out in the country buy it. the reporters like to give it a shot. i thought that president putin was very, very strong. >> question this morning, what will the fallout be back home? republicans control congress. their disapproval, will it take any official action? will they take any? we might find out a hint soon. house speaker paul ryan set to take yes, squestions any minutf the first time since helsinki. nancy pelosi is also due at the microphones this hour. the question looms, will any of this have an impact at the ballot box? will we see an administration shakeup perhaps? the director of national intelligence in a rare public move, br

there is much reaction coming in from capitol hill. we have visited with republican leadership this hour, we will now talk with some from the other side of the political aisles. senator chris van hollen from a democrat from now, and by the way, while you are talking, show the president arriving at helsinki and boarding air force one. we are watching for that to come through. we may share the screen with yo you. the president's large meeting him at this high-stakes meeting with vladimir putin had so many topics. i know ahead of even the meeting, some democrats were highly critical. your first reaction. >> harris, my first reaction is actually the same first reaction of many of my republican colleagues. here in the united states senat senate. this is a bad day for the united states of america. the president of the united states went into a meeting with russian president vladimir putin and he came out saying that he believed putin on issues like russian interference in the 2016 elections, rather than the head of his own cia that we appoin

putin is not welcome up on capitol hill. >> right.his is a significant split between the president and republicans on capitol hill where they have wanted him to be more forceful on the issue of russian meddling in the u.s. election and even there mostly condemnations have not been accompanied by meaningful action and even there if republicans feel strongly about it they could take up a bipartisan sanctions bill in the senate that would impose more sanctions on moscow if there is evidence to suggest that it is, in fact, meddling in the 2018 midterms. >> wait a minute. >> award. >> he is inviting putin because he likes him and he also tweets today, don't forget putin wants to elect democrats. huh? i don't get this. >> go ahead. >> to borrow from paul ryan, trolling, there's heavy trolling coming from moscow, as well, because reportedly russia's saying that they're thinking twice about this invitation. vladimir putin apparently doesn't like the fall weather in d.c. and so it's really having to think twice of coming and meeting at the g20

> shepard: mike emanuel on capitol hill. thank you. the supreme court justice anthony kennedy officially retires today leaving our nation's highest court with eight justices split between liberals and conservatives. justice kennedy has served since 1988. president reagan nominated him and was a crucial swing vote. justice kennedy sided with the liberals on marriage equality and sided with conservatives on gun rights and limiting campaign funds. his vote was key in settling the 2008 presidential race siding with president bush. and senate gop leaders say they hope to confirm brett kavanaugh before the new term starts in october. judge kavanaugh has been meeting with senators but not officially locked in enough votes for confirmation. police in iowa speaking just a few minutes ago about the search for a missing college students now missing almost two weeks. cops say the last time anybody saw her, she was out for a run. the latest on the search after this break. capital one and hotels.com are giving venture cardholders 10 miles

he has testified about it as well on capitol hill, versus michael cohen's?hat's going to be interesting is how the administration has how sought to argue that michael cohen, president's former personal attorney, was once at one time, they were very complementary of him, and now given his recent public comments there has been clearly a change and a shift, alex, in terms of how they are perceiving him. look, conservatives feel that michael cohen is not someone to be trusted. there are folks within the republican party as well as democrats who feel he is someone that can be trusted. all of that is setting up a monumental legal battle. the question becomes whether or not bob mueller will be able to get michael cohen to hand over any evidence. and a key part here that i think we should all note is that with the developments of these tapes, michael cohen is not saying that he has audio recording proof of the president, then-candidate donald trump, being able to be made aware of that meeting. so it's turning into, as you noted, two parties making two very different

nevertheless, it looks like penny-ante stuff on capitol hill. most people, their wallets are getting thicker. >> laura, what's interesting, the trump administration isn't saying they handled everything right. he came out the next day and corrected and made a course correction. i ask the american people candidly. it's an honest question. do you want a president under barack obama who was honestly weak and then weak in action, or do you want a president like president trump who goes out. he talks candidly. he doesn't always use a teleprompter. sometimes that requires them to dial a few things back, which he has. but you have this strong pro-america fashion. your choice? obama talked weak, acted weak and basically subverted american values on the international stage. now you have a guy, all right, has to correct some things. that's fine. look at what he's actually doing. that should matter. this is all showmanship on capitol hill. that was ridiculous. i watched the whole thing today. >> laura: richard, the dow is up 30% since the election. s&p up 3
