do something good, chuck. i'm not going to predict what's going to happen. >> i'm not asking you to predict. >> i want to make sure we do something good. >> that result do you want? do you want the democrats to keep control of the united states senate and the house of representatives? >> i would love -- you know, i'm not making those choices or decisions on that. i'm going to work with whatever i have. i've always said that. i think the democrats have great candidates in the running, good people i worked with and i have a tremendous amount of respect and friendship with my republican colleagues. so i can work on either side very easily. >> you don't care the outcome? you don't care about the outcome this year? of the elections? >> whatever the voters -- whatever the voters choose, i can't decide what is going to happen in kansas or california or texas. i can't. i've taken the approach whoever you send me, that's your representative and i respect them and i respect the state for the people they send, an give it

thank you. >> hi, chuck. >> go that way to the g.o.p. booth. we go that way, sir. >> i used to work at the white house. >> hi, how are you? >> great day for the fair. >> wet out there? >> hi, mike pence. good to see you? good to see you. >> i'm delighted to be here. >> iowa in the rain, yeah. >> how are you? >> mike pension, nice to meet you.

[laughter] >> it would have been fun. >> hi, how are you? >> good, how are you. >> vice president pence. >> how are you?

chuck. was going to be when are we going to he know, when are we going to get this stuff unsealed, when will we get this information? and i know you're saying soon, but there's this last paragraph, and i'll read it. in this motion. it says, "this matter plainly concerns public officials or public concerns. as it involves a law enforcement action taken at the property of the 45th president of the united states, the public's clear and powerful interest in understanding what occurred under these circumstances weighs heavily in favor of unsealing. that said, the former president should have an opportunity to respond to this motion and lodge objections including with regards to any legitimate privacy interests or the potential for injury if these materials are made public. to that end the government will furnish counsel for the former president with a copy of this motion. so what's your sense of timeline, chuck? >> so that shifts it slightly, katy. and by the way, i think that's a very sensible t

[applause] because every child in every zip code deserves quality education. and your governor is committed to it. i know one thing for sure, every child in america deserves good education. and kim reynolds is the champion

go ahead. >> but chuck, is that a viable argument? i wasn't the one to pack my bags and i didn't look in the boxes? i'm reporting from home right now. if there are 17 year old kids drinking beer is in my backyard they get in a car and get in a drunk driving accident, i will be responsible for that. that's how the work law works for civilians like me. but donald trump could make the argument i wasn't the one to put the packing tape on it. give me a break. >> so stephanie, if it is true that he didn't pack the boxes or look in them than it is a viable defense, and if it's not true, then it isn't a viable defence. here's how you figure that out. he talked to lots and lots and lots of people were around the president when these boxes were packed and moved and to whom he spoke about their contents. so you can't know just from the fact that these boxes were found and the stuff was found in them who pack them, who moved him, and who looked at them. we don't know that. we just know where they were found. let me finish the thought that i was s

she got elected, she showed up in washington and handed her voting card to chuck schumer and said chuckand has him decide what is good for nevada and bad for nevada. let me tell you about four amendments i offered and how your senator voted. last year i offered an moment when the democrats were sending stimulus checks across this country. i sit here is an amendment. let's not send federal taxpayer stimulus checks to every illegal alien in america. we voted on the senate floor and it failed by one vote. 50-50. the deciding vote was catherine cortez masto. had she voted yes, we would not have sent millions of dollars of taxpayer money to millions of illegal aliens, but she decided she works for the illegal aliens and not for the men and women of nevada. we had another amendment. that i introduced that said all right, let's not send stimulus checks to criminals. to criminals in jail. currently incarcerated criminals, we voted on the senate floor. the vote was 50-50, it failed by one vote. catherine cortez masto was the deciding vote behind sending millions of your taxpayer dollars to murde

with that, i want to bring in ryan riley, justice reporter for nbc news, chuck rosenberg, matt millernb joins us, former speci adviser on communications for the nsa and jeff mason, white house correspondent for reuters. ryan, you had the very difficult challenge of speaking to us moments after this document dropped. you've had a bit more time. tell us what else you've learned. >> i mean, i think it's significant especially the photos yout discussed last hou that show just how this was organized. i think a key part of this is essentially them not trusting the trump team because after they had that initial grand jury subpoena that was delivered, you had this filing that was signed by a trump lawyer, name is redacted in this latest filing, so weis don't know based on the filing who it was, but has been reported publicly about this trump lawyercl said there was n responsive documents left. lo and behold when they went and executed the search warrant there were allec these document left. so there's still information we don't know about how they got the source of that information. but the key

senator chuck schumer of new york joins us now live to talk about all of it. you so much for being with us tonight. i really appreciate you making the time. >> hi, rachel. it's good to be back. it's been a while. >> it has been. and you're back under circumstances i could not have previously imagined. i need to get your reaction tonight at the start to this news from south florida tonight that the fbi has -- has searched the home of the former president. >> yeah, well, i know nothing about it other than what i've read like everybody else, so i think it's wise for me to with hold comment until we learn more. >> i appreciate that. i do have to tell you that one of your not colleagues but another congressional leader, the house republican leader, kevin mccarthy, just made a statement online about the fbi executing the search warrant at the former president's home. he said when republicans take back the house they will conduct immediate oversight of this department. and then he says this, quote, attorney general garland, preserve your documents and clear your cale

chuck, we have talked about this conversation.e moment suburban moms, they are voting on abortion on the right but the moment that suburban moms think that they are -- their right to choose is going away is a vote issue and could change the dynamics and that what you're seeing. not only turnout just in kansas. we are getting poll after poll showing the motivation is up. six months ago, ill thought a lot of signs along the road here that looked like 2010 for someone who sat in 2010 a part of the obama team, it looked like 2010 going about but doesn't look like that now. you look at the enthusiastic for young women and women voters. 2019, 29% of african americans said that election was more important than the past. last week, 60% of african americans say this election is more upon than past important. they have woke a sleeping giant with this issue. >> you may have peaked too early. i think we are going back to the immigration and -- >> he is convinced of your theory, no, no, no, this will revert. this feels different, susan. >> you

i thought the same thing when i heard chuck talk about it.ngs as a prosecutor that you try to do when you're securing these sorts of deals is you want to make sure that you can get as much utility out of a cooperating witness as possible. and in this case, you would expect that weisselberg would have some sort of information on donald trump that as a prosecutor, you would want to pressure him into cooperating to deliver. and so the only thing that i can think of in this situation that weisselberg didn't necessarily say that he wouldn't cooperate. i think it's more so that what he said, and if prosecutors bought it, for that matter, is that he did not have information about donald trump that he could deliver. that was the big question going into the fact that he was arrested, was weisselberg going to be able to flip or would they be able to flip weisselberg? they clearly did, but not enough in my opinion. because if there's still information that he does have about donald trump, prosecutors were supposed to make that a part of any agreement th

thanks to chuck. ken, pat cipollone, pat philbin. were interviewed and how they were interviewed. >> we haven't confirmed reporting but we have no reason to doubt it. what it suggests is the justice department is trying to learn more about how those documents got to mar-a-lago and what was the process in the final days of the white house as donald trump was moving his material out? we have a lot of reporting on that that suggests it was a chaotic process and that, by the way, for months and years before that, donald trump had a pen chance for grabbing and holding on to highly classified documents. john bolton told us it was common place. it was such a problem that they didn't want to bring in sensitive photos and things like that. it looks like what doj is trying to determine, was there any process around making sure the classified material got back to where it was supposed to be? apparently in some cases not. it ended up in boxes that were transferred to mar-a-lago. >> chuck rosenberg, i want to read an except from the reporting in

chuck todd is off today. even by donald trump's standards, it's been an extraordinary week. first came word of the fbi's search at mar-a-lago, for classified documents. while that prompted an it's about time reaction by some on the left, the noisiest voices on the right were calling for everything from the abolishment of the fbi to civil war. then on wednesday, the former president who once said pleading the fifth amendment was for mobsters and the guilty did so himself more than 400 times in a new york civil suit. the list of items removed by the fbi at mar-a-lago and revealed on friday included 11 sets of classified documents, five sets were top secret, three sets were secret and three were confidential. and there are still so many unanswered questions. what kind of legal jeopardy does the former president face, could he be in violation of the espionage act, what do we make of claims by mr. trump that he had already declassified the documents, will the calls for violence from the far right inspire more people like the man who attacked an fbi office in cincinnati and was ev

is the department ready for this kind of pressure, chuck? >> yeah, i mean, look, they had to know this was coming, steph. maybe they didn't appreciate the magnitude, but they had to know that everything they did with respect to mr. trump will have repercussions. so, let's take the attorney general at his word. they're going to follow the law. nobody is above the law. they have a widespread farflung investigation, and they are going to follow the facts. sometimes, you make tough calls, and sometimes, you get it right, sometimes, you get it wrong. as long as you do it in a principle and thoughtful way, then you can live with yourself. i mean, they're not perfect, but there are principles. and they had to know that there will be some blow back, so be it, it comes with the territory. >> they're just doing their jobs. and this week, they are not easy jobs. and a quick, but i want to say an important note for our audience, we keep hearing a lot of people call what the fbi did at mar-a-lago, a raid. but for fact sake here, here's the deal, law enfo

i'll talk to nbc news legal analyst chuck rosenberg and andrew weissmann. also, violent reaction -- >> subject armed. >> a man apparently reacting to the fbi's search is killed by authorities after trying to attack the bureau's cincinnati office. will others be moved to violence? >>> and the midterms outlook, from the kansas abortion vote -- >> i hope we inspire other states when they get the opportunity to vote to really think about a woman's choice. >> -- to a string of successes for president biden. signs that the expected republican red wave may be weakening. joining me for insight and analysis are eugene robinson, amy walter, matthew continetti, betsy woodruff swan and michael beschloss. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >>> from nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >> good sunday morning. chuck todd is off today. even by donald trump's standards, it's been an extraordinary week. first came word of the fbi's search at mar-a-lago, for classified documents. while that pr

so chuck, your company is followed by hardware analysts. there is a lot of skepticism about what your growth rate is i want to look at it differently. i think i should measure the company by how the annual reoccurring revenue is doing which is 8%. that is services which, of course, we're talking about a different kind of talleying than what they're used to and the product orders are double digit and these are things you said you have great visibility on >> yeah. >> it's almost like we're talking to a software company that has a lot of renewable revenue. >> we were talking this morning with a team. and for first five years i was in this job, we were going through this transition of shifting to writable revenue we needed more revenue and subscriptions. now 44% of the revenue is coming from it reoccurring offers and so the annualized reoccurring revenue, the product side is up 13% this quarter. that is a real indication of future software growth and it's, you know, we're beginning to see the benefit of what we've been working on for the last f

chuck let me start with you and ask you that question. what stood out to you? >> well, you know, i was actually more interested in the memorandum that the government filed with the redacted affidavit than in the affidavit itself because i wasn't terribly surprised that we didn't get the good stuff. and the stuff we did get t procedural history in many ways was largely known. so i would commend to your viewers, yasmin, that they take a look at the memory foam that was take a look at the memo because you don't want witnesses to be retaliated against. you want to protect the safety of law enforcement officers. we saw what happened in the fbi field office in ohio. you want to abide the law and if they require grand jury information and information derived from grand jury investigations be kept secret. you don't want to give a road map to people who might obstruct the investigation. last but not least, you want to protect the privacy interests of individuals who may be mentioned in an affidavit but haven't done anything wrong. it's a very cogent, very thoughtful exp

we are experiencing the highest inflation, chuck, in 40 years. the average american household is suffering under $5,000 reduced purchasing power. they're paying more for virtually everything. gas prices have doubled. there is an energy crisis in this country because this president has waged a war on energy in this country. we are no longer energy independent. we have gone from energy dominant to energy desperate in just a year and a half's time. and we are experiencing a crime wave. 15% increase in homicide because of the defund police movement, and we have no operational control over the southern border. and in my home state of kentucky, we are experiencing the worst fentanyl crisis in the country. our citizens are dying because this administration and this leadership in the democrat-controlled congress refuses to follow the law and secure our border, and people are dying because of it. >> let me ask -- >> that's why the american people are anxious and angry in this country and why they want to change. >> let me ask you this. what is your plan t

he has to be chomping at the bit, but i have to ask chuck. this argument, attorney client privilege, isn't the doj going to argue, none of these documents belong to trump to begin with, so what's ground does he have to say, bring them back to me they are not his. >> well stephanie, don't confuse attorney-client privilege with executive privilege. some documents might actually be communications between trump and his attorney, and the government has already said that we found a few of those, a small subset, and we set those aside. with respect to executive privilege, i don't think that trump will have any like to stand on. and here's why. executive privilege, right, communications between a president and his or her -- i hope her one day very soon, the top advisers can be privileged under certain circumstances. we want to president who has candid advice from their advisers. but executive privilege belongs to the person who is currently pro president. so right now, mr. biden is the one who makes decisions about executive privilege, not mr. trump.

chuck, what else are we missing here?stephanie, let me just remind us a bit, remember this is a motion by mr. trump's lawyers to appoint a special master to review the special documents that the government seized, pursuant to a lawful search warrant, when the government applied for the search warrant, they told the federal judge who authorized it, precisely what they were going to do with the stuff that they found, that they would use a filter for the privilege and non privilege stuff would be thrown over the trans into the investigative team. the judge approved that process, stephanie, he's off on it. that's precisely what the government did. so here is the really practical argument, that the government is making, and we ought to keep in mind. it took the trump team 14 days, to file this motion, half baked, for a special master. during those 14 days, the government finished the review. they did exactly what they told the federal judge they were going to do, and they did exactly what he approves of them doing. they finish

how do you plan to take down chuck schumer? the fact that whether you're left of bernie sanders or right of donald trump, his fingerprints are on everything that's gone wrong in our body politic today. 42 years this man has been in congress, 6 years before that in the new york state assembly. he has gained power in our name. we're here to tell the untold story of new york, to remind people what happens down in d.c. impacts every single person that a calls this nation home, that this is an abnormal state of affairs here in the land of the free system and home of the -- free and the home of the brave, and you can't have an open border. we're telling everyone across this country to get behind this race to help spread the word that we can send the tip of the spear packing. and if we do that, we're going to make sure that come november 8th charles ellis schumer's going to have to go find his fist job in his entire life. manufacture r. maria: more we've been talking this entire hour about all the fires in this country that that need

and chuck rosenberg, former u.s. attorney and former senior you fbi fbi official. -- start us off, -- is that what you were expecting? >> [inaudible] says we have a pending criminal investigation with grand jury information and sensitive names of witnesses, names of federal agents, investigative techniques. we need to protect that. generally, the judge goes along. in this case, he says, they didn't meet their burden. let's keep in mind with this is. this is an affidavit that the fbi agents were out to the judge, to request a search warrant and to make the case that it was probable cause a crime had been committed and that evidence of that crime was present at mar-a-lago. so, it could contain almost everything the fbi knows about this case. and the justice department said they were very concerned, in particular, about witnesses. and even if witnesses are not named, people being able to identify witnesses by their description and the future witnesses in this case might be intimidated -- for that reason, i strongly susp
