a source familiar with that call says to fox news that chuck schumer said to president trump nominating garland would be a good way to try and unite the country. he also reportedly told president trump that it would not be a good idea to vote someone who would overturn roe v. wade or be against obamacare. melissa. >> melissa: thank you for that. and now to the former justice department counsel who served on the confirmation teams for supreme court justices, gorsuch and others including john roberts, chief justice. based upon all of that, who do you think would get through the confirmation most easily of the three we know that they are considering? >> melissa, it is a great list. all of them are rock stars. all should get through easily. and you have a situation where the last two judges were confirmed by over sixty votes. a number of republicans had voted for them and so there is no reason that these three should not be voted for by a number of democrats. they are conservative, yes, but very much mainstream candidates. >> melissa: do you think it goes for all of them equally, or is ther

i think it is going to be tough for chuck schumer to hold these folks. is if you have anonymity on the republican side, i expected jailbreak from those red state democrats to vote for them. i think the political liability for a vote against brett kavanaugh is too much. the angerunderstand that continues over merrick garland? guest: they feel like they got gypped. this is politics. we all understand it. if chuck schumer were the majority leader, do you think he would confirm one of the presidents judges? i think you would find a way not to confirm a judge right now. fartherld be a bridge than what mitch mcconnell did with merrick garland. merrick garland was an interesting circumstance. we had a supreme court justice prematurely died in an election year. we were very close to that presidential election year. given those circumstances, i think the argument was easier for mitch mcconnell to make. this is just sheer political power. control whato happens on the court, you need the senate and you need the white house. the republican party won both the senate

what makes it nastier still for him, chuck schumer-s the recent evidence coming from queens, new york party base is in a fighting mood and while senator schumer and other democratic senators may fear losing the senate this fall to the republicans they might fear more looking like they didn't do their job of stopping donald trump from packing the supreme court with already one, now two and perhaps on the way to picking three hard conservatives before his term is out. and that's the thought that puts steam in the rebellion, that creates a trail far more bitter than the one the dnc did with its cute little trick in 2016 of burying those hillary-bernie debates between the avalanche of viewers watching big nfl games. sought pressure's on now for trump to see how much power and trouble he can generate for the democrats in red states to decide between their near-term loyalties and their long-term careers, for the democratic leadership to decide what is more important for them, to release endangered senators to flee for their lives or to demand ha they fight till as one recent democratic star

host: senator chuck schumer saying whoever the president appoints, roe v. wade is on the line. guest 1: i think you get at a really good point and this is sort of a fine point, but a lot of people beyond the issue of should abortion be legal or illegal. a lot of people have previously taken issue with the way roe v. wade settled that question by an all ory making it nothing proposition. that makes it very difficult for there to be any kind of compromise on this issue. obviously it is inherently a thing that is hard to compromise because of the blatant ideological disparity between what motivates the left and the right on this issue. you are absolutely right that most people in this country believe there should be some restrictions on when abortion is legal and for what reasons abortion is legal. there are not that many people who think it should be illegal in all circumstances and not that many people who think it should be legal all the way up to birth. i think it will be difficult to have a national conversation on that, especially with roe v. wade on the books, and i say tha

chuck schumer just wrapped up. he talked first about the supreme court before moving on to other matters. it's our understanding from our producer that mitch mcconnell, the republican leader will be up next and talk on the same subject. for to john roberts live at the white house. john, you touched briefly on whether there might be democrats that could come over to the president's side and give a little relief to some republicans that might find it politically difficult because of their own back yards. >> yeah. there's three in particular from the state of west virginia, indiana and north dakota. joe manchin, joe donnelly and heidi heitkamp. these are people the president has embraced and targeted. donnelly voted for amy barrett for the court of appeals. if the president picked her, it would be difficult for manchin and donnelly say it would be difficult to confirm her. if he was to pick a brett kavanaugh or if he was to pick a thomas hardiman or somebody like that, those three senators in particular would find it

we begin with majority leader mitch mcconnell and minority leader chuck schumer. sen. mcconnell: yesterday i had an opportunity to meet with judge brett kavanaugh as we begin preparations for his confirmation process to the supreme court. it is really impressive all -- impossible not to come away impressed. judge kavanagh is the real deal. he has the legal resume, the academic credentials, extensive judicial record defined by fairness, thoughtfulness, thoroughness, and analytical precision. i was confident the president had made an outstanding choice. now i'ev

chuck schumer says look i don't know why he's doing this, implying of course that putin has something he did give them some things that congress can do, which is ratchet up sanction, demand that the people who were part of this team testify before the congress. i'm spoois surprised he didn't also say i want the transcription of the notes made public of this meeting. i'm sure somebody is going to talk about that. but you can see very slowly, anderson, the pressure starting to build. and schumer coming out and saying, look, we can't do this by ourselves but you guys need to stand up. and that's where the moral authority of a john mccain, i think, real he hao makes a difference here. we will have to see what happens when mitch mcconnell fess and when the rest of congress gets to talk about what occurred today. i do think they will start demanding explanations and answers. >> join me again at 6:25 p.m. eastern time on facebook.com/anderson cooper full circle a brand-new program we are starting today. also at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. special coverage continues now with jake tapper and the l

by voting for brett kavanaugh by helping chuck schumer more. >> republicans have their own pressure, mini stampede together they could defeat kavanaugh? >> it could be. my parents i was a would be the tie-breaking vote. john mccain is out and probably not voting in this particular supreme court nomination. it really rests on the first line of defense murkowski and collins. as soon as they decide they will vote for him, the pressure relies on red state democrat and i have a pretty good feeling i'll be voting for kavanaugh, who graduates run-of-the-mill conservative. a lot of these attack ads are going after him. they would not be the same if they were an off election year. eric: clearly the critics are going after kavanaugh. dire warnings about if he does get to the court. orin hatch on "sunday morning futures" this morning. he is the prediction democrats would join. here's what he said. >> they've got a breakthrough that we are against everything attitude. they hate him so badly that it's all against trump. i think it's against any republican judgeship nomination, that they really ha

chuck schumer privately urged the president to pick mary garland who was first nominated by pres. obama. of the democrats are putting pressure a on two key republica senators, lisa murkowski and susan collins. one liberal group is planning to spend millions of s dollars on advertising and activism in the sen.'s home state of alaska and maine, the same strategy that helps republican efforts to repeal obamacare. ed: mike pompeo expected to arrive in north korea with details on the agreement kim jong un of the pres. signed during their historic summit though there are concernshe kim may be backpedaling. jillian turner following the developed. >> reporter: may be pompeo would have arrived already but he's going to arrive in a few moments for his third face-to-face meeting with kim jong un. he will spend the next week today's meeting with the dictator w and top deputies and overnight in the hermit kingdom's capital for the first time. >> we signed a wonderful thing, they will denuclearize, it will happen. >> reporter: donald trump highlighting boeing negotiations with the secretary lan

chuck schumer is always out there saying something. it hasn't been the drumbeat. as is perhaps one of those situations where you sit back and let the attorneys that themselves on proverbial fire? >> adrienne: i think a lot of democrats are realizing that the mueller investigation appears to be coming toward an end. if you have so many things that are culminating that insist that is coming to an end. >> harris: i haven't heard democrat say that. >> adrienne: the way that he is interviewing witnesses, the way that he's bringing them. you're right, we don't assume anything. but it would not be a crazy assumption to think that this is not coming to an end sooner rather than later. however, on this particular point, rudy giuliani is digging his own death, so what are they want to step into it? he is constantly contradicting himself on television. a couple months ago, he called michael cohen an honest man. >> harris: he did not know about this tape and that's what he's been saying. >> adrienne: now he's disparaging the credibility of the tape. i think the last person wh

should chuck schumer then lose his position? it's not as though this is a surprise. time to come up with a strategy. do you think there is a clear strategy by the democratic leadership? >> part of the issue is we don't know exactly who the pick is. once that happens, there will be a vetting process and it's up to individual senators to do what they want to do. but again, in elections, really if you can't moebilize your own base, it makes it hard to win. the republicans held the nomination for nearly a year. i think we should do what the republicans did and have republicans hold it for at least past november because the american people do deserve a voice in the selection of the next supreme court justice. >> do you have faith in your leadership both on the house and the senate side going forward? >> i do. and since trump got inaugurated, democrats across the nation have won 43 special elections, including two federal ones, one in alabama, one in western pennsylvania, so i do have faith in our leadership, yes. >> there is also some disagreement about what to do about i

and i think chuck schumer has it.nk there are things here that we don't know as journalists, certainly, we'll figure them out. >> just last week we were watching house republicans grill peter strzok, an fbi agent, who sent damaging text messages, anti-trump text messages to another woman at the fbi, grilling him for basically show for the president, according to congressman ryan costello. that's what he told kasie hunt on her show on sunday, that this was all a show for the president to help the president undermine the mueller investigation. cal perry, i'm going to say thank you to you but i'm going to leave our viewers with this one last thing before i give it over to ali velshi. the director of national intelligence, dan coats, has pushed back very forcefully against the president today in what he said this morning in helsinki. i know we covered it a moment ago but let me read it one more time because i think it is important. the role of the intelligence community is to provide the best information and fact-based as
