doe graham i would say didn't go far enough was not very successful in getting money to business owner small business owners who really needed it and a lot of it got sucked up by big corporations in the way that they're shrunk sure to pretend they were a bunch of small businesses which was completely unfair so i think that more should have already been done in these areas and why everything has to be in one giant bill instead of pointing to the things that need to happen immediately why have we already gone almost 2 and a half months without extending the p.p.p. loans and without extending that unemployment insurance that's ridiculous ben there's a $2.00 trillion dollar gorilla in the room and that is a 1st big presidential debate this evening on top of the election and with democratic lawmakers are putting the stimulus bill forward how much do they actually expect to get passed as we were just talking about there and how much of this is about the politics of an election that is going on right now. i think we can all agree here no matter where we fall in the political side of this ever

it's still in place by christmas, it can be one of the most damaging things the tory party ever does and grahammittee, the obviously said that these rules have not been considered enough. talking to the daily mail, the cabinet argued almost every minister, argued against it and so the metros picking up against it and so the metros picking up on scotland, also during this rule of six but not including children and not using the boris johnson headline had for six and in a largerfamily, johnson headline had for six and in a larger family, children 12 johnson headline had for six and in a largerfamily, children 12 and under, would not be included with this group for six or this rule of six. as i understood it, as well as in england, the exclusive six can be six different households where as in scotland, it is six from two different households and so, ijust think, there needs to be going ahead with this message of a group of six, for clarity, white looks the way it does and why if you are under 12 in scotland and it is not here, ijust think that again, and the repeated theme, i think there needs to

. >> host: what role does senator lindsey graham have in the president speaking to you? >> guest: apparently he told the president looked, he won't put words in your mouth and you'll get a straight shot and last week the president said hey, i said some great things in those interviews and on the book and in the book and i let him have his say entirely and so it is as close, i believe, having done the snow for 50 yearslo that you can ever come to as an outsider what was going on in the white house and the administration on every matter of importance. >> host: this is your 20th book, mr. woodward. how do you know when the former officials are ready to talk? >> guest: well, you just keep -- the old way used to be go to their homes and knocked on the door at night with the virus, c you can't do that so you use the telephone as your entrÉe and people are home at night and you can get them on the phone sometimes and sometimes for extended periods of time and sometimes for very long interviews and central lesson for me is people like to talk, thank god. i think people are out t

to discuss how this does not add up is graham webster. urprise, this does not add up, president trump saying something different from bytedance. what do you think is actually going to happen here? will there be a deal, or no deal? >> that is a big question. a think it is unclear. the stakes are enormous for tiktok. they could still be blocked completely in the u.s.. i think it is pretty likely it will come to some sort of deal, in part because it's clear that trump would like a deal to have been. he wants it in a way he can brag ,bout in terms of u.s. control or even come other was a ripple this might -- thoughts a -- or even come other was a thought this might turn into. taylor: what is at stake here? we've seen an increasingly costly relationship between the u.s. and china. this is all happening ahead of one of the most critical elections of our lifetime. what are the stakes? well, at the starting point, this is really the u.s. changing its opinion about the global internet, saying, we will try to claw control of companies that operate i

lindsey graham does expect hearings to begin in the committee as soon as next month.d set up a vote in his committee by the end of next month or late next month and then on the senate floor soon thereafter. what republicans are concerned about is this being posed after the election. if that were to happen and let's say joe biden were to win the white house, republicans were to lose a senate majority, a lame duck congress would come back and the senate would approve and confirm this nominee after voters had rendered a judgment against the republicans on november 3rd. so, today at a lunch behind the scenes, republicans discussed this possibility. there were concerns, i'm told, from members that that would essentially look bad. they would rather move forward, push this fast, faster than any nomination in modern times. this would be 38 days from saturday when the president were to announce this nomination. but nevertheless republicans are getting behind this, say they want to move ahead. but the democrats want the votes. >> they do. we're not going to know on november 3rd

lindsey graham does it. just keep calling it on them, and we just have to tell people this is how your life is relevant to my presidency and how we want to change things to make your life better. and the more he can do that, the more he can make it about them and not him beating trump, i think the better we're going to do. >> are you of the camp that debates change any minds? >> i don't -- you know, what it can do is people have questions about vice president biden. they don't have any questions about donald trump. people are completely fixed, and i think what vice president biden needs to do is demonstrate the deep reservoir of knowledge that he has about the american political system and his commitment to really change things. and i think he can do that. i don't think there's anything he can say about trump that is going to change any minds. but i think he can solidify support for himself. i think he can excite people. i think he can make people feel better, and i think he can go -- can do a really good jo

>> what we're hearing this morning, and this is very important is that lindsey graham, who does chair the judiciary committee, he will be in charge of overseeing those hearings for the next nominee. he said that he fully supports the president's view on wanting to move quickly. he said in a tweet, quote, i truly understand where president donald trump is coming from. and this, of course, is significant because a few years ago, lindsey graham's position was that you should not fill a vacancy in a year where there was a presidential election. now he is saying since kavanaugh, his views have changed on that. that's significant because he is going to be overseeing these hearings for any potential nominee. but, look, over the next few days, we can expect the majority leader is going to be having conversations with members. members who are up for re-election, conservative members who want this to move as quickly as possible. the president of the united states himself. mcconnell wants to hear from his rank and file before deciding on when to actually advance this nomination. the question, of

of course lindsey graham does have to explain himself to voters in south carolina because he is alsop for re-election. but the bottom line seems to be that republicans don't seem to care this is how they look. they want to push forward anyway. >> professor katyall, what does this mean for the institution of the court? kind of that last institution that is somewhat removed from politics? >> well, justice ginsburg's passing away is itself just so damaging to the supreme court. and then to think there's going to be this fight in this way is almost unthinkable. i mean, it is crazy that just because the republicans are afraid they can't win the presidential election that they're willing to try and break the supreme court in the process. and i do think that is how many people will perceive it given the promises that were made in 2016. and so my fervent hope is people -- you know, there are good republicans and good democrats. all we need is four senators from both parties to say let's stop this nonsense. let's do what president lincoln did when a chief justice died 27 days before election

david, the sunday telegraph, an interesting story about sir graham brady, really quite angry that parliament does, have enough say in all these lockdown restrictions. that parliament needs more of a say in what is being announced. yes, it is the democratic argument. he has a fair point, there's a groundswell of anger on the tory backbenchesis groundswell of anger on the tory backbenches is going to break forth at some point. what graham brady is saying is the government has imposed something like 160 laws on this country since the covid outbreak this year. that is fine, it is an emergency, he says, but some of these things are stealing all civil liberties and they should be invoked in the commons. he says, i spoke to him last week, he says it is fine, they would probably be voted through, there's properly a majority for it to be voted through but it should be going through parliament. there is this argument that whether parliament is given a view on it. in the same story, it mentions that matt hancock announcing these changes, not in the comments, but outside and press conferences has also insula

the senate judiciary committee lindsey graham, the chairman of that committee, says he does have the votes if they choose to go there before election day. with just six weeks to go until election day, the battle over filling ruth bader ginsburg's supreme court seat is intensifying. president trump, whose campaign could benefit from a swift confirmation, says he will announce his nominee by the end of this week, after memorial services for ginsburg have concluded. >> i would much rather have a vote before the election, because there's a lot of work to be done. and i would much rather have it -- we have plenty of time to do it. there's really a lot of time. i'm just doing my constitutional obligation. i have an obligation to do this. so i would rather see it before the election. >> democratic presidential nominee joe biden campaigning in wisconsin on monday, insisting the winner of the election should fill the vacancy. >> we're in the middle of an election. by the time that vote comes occuup, if it comes up, will be close to 40% of the people that have already voted. it's a violation o

graham's a liar. i went to the citadel we have an honor code there. doesr steal or tolerate those who do. south carolinans i don't think this time are going to tolerate his lying because we don't know who the hell he is anymore. he's a fraud. >> um, you know, and, stuart, beyond lindsey graham, just if you look at the southern competitive races, not even just southern races, joni ernst is in iowa. you've got thom tillis, john cornyn in texas. there are all of these races. you're from mississippi. there is the espy race. he did take cindy hyde smith right to the end in that special election before in that runoff. and you think about some of these races, the georgia races where kelly loeffler has this wild ad. are there more than one vulnerable southern republicans in this environment where they're chasing after evangelicals with the supreme court seat but where they're just blatantly lying about what they said what they promised they would do? >> in the previous segment, he was saying that he thinks conservative judges is what holds this coalition together

lindsey graham said he wouldn't do this. so if he does it, he's in big trouble with people who would typically think lindsey graham would keep his word. if he doesn't do it, he's in big trouble with the far right, who sees nothing beyond the end of their nose and getting rid of roe v. wade. so lindsey is in trouble either way. so mauritch mcconnell has got t navigate this and try to hold on to power in the senate and make no mistake about it that's the only thing he cares about. he doesn't care about what the supreme court rules about anything mitch mcconnell only wants to hold on to power, so this is a tricky path for him to navigate. >> thanks to our leadoff guests on this consequential night. to peter baker, to neal katyal, to claire mccaskill. nicolle? >> joining us now, valerie jarrett, former senior adviser to president barack obama. valerie, claire just took my breath away with a personal story about justice ginsburg, and i want to ask you if you have fe personany personal stor share. >> first of all, good evening, brian and nicoll

the question is does the president still think he's done a very good job handling the pandemic. >>> and power graham the director of human health and services over the fda. what does it mean for the administration's rush to approve a covid vaccine snit is "way too early" for this. >>> good morning and welcome to ""way too early,"" the show that never really went away. i'm kasie hunt on this monday, september 21st, and we'll start with the news. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg, the second woman to serve on the nation's highest court died friday at the age of 87. the court said ginsburg died, quote, surrounded by her family at her home in washington, d.c., due to complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer. ginsburg served 27 years on the supreme court. in a statement marking her passing, chief justice john roberts said, quote, our nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. we at the supreme court have lost a cherished colleague. today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember ruth bader ginsburg as we knew her, a tireless and resolute champion of justice. stan

what does this achievement mean for the future of the federal judiciary? sen. grahamnumber one, think you very much for having me and honoring me. i really appreciate what you do for the cause of good judging, giving us input about nominees. efforts to to prohibit people from being a member of your society and still be a judge, i will stop that with all of my might. that is ridiculous. you can be a member of the aba any in good standing. it's ok to be a conservative and a lawyer. the bottom line is what does it mean? it means that president trump has done more than anybody in my lifetime to reshape the federal judiciary to a center-right judiciary. by focusing on filling every vacancy. chuck grassley was the chairman for the first two years of president trump's turn. appeals, two supreme court nominees, and we have 70 district court vacancies and 49 nominations. we will probably do 30. we have done 120 on my watch. we have made it a priority. mitch mcconnell deserves a lot of credit. we are in the appointment is in us in the senate. i can tell you that for all of who

done in the trump era or what he said lately but really because south carolina feels like lindsey graham does care about the state. that's what's interesting. if you're a republican senator and constantly pulled off course because you have to talk about what president trump is talking about, that gives you less opportunity to talk to your home state and that's incredibly important in a race like the south carolina race. >> thank you for your reporting this morning. >> thank you. >>> joining us is a member of the foreign relations committee, democratic senator chris murphy of connecticut. author of the new book "the violence inside us" the brief history of an ongoing american tragedy. >> i have to ask you what your thoughts are yesterday about the president in a press conference and last night comparing the shooting of a black man by police seven times in the back to a golfer choking on a 3-foot putt. first of all, it's extraordinarily, extraordinarily offensive, i am sure, to the family of the black man shot in the back seven times as well as to other people of color across america. also, i w

graham are campaigning. if the president's nominee does get confirmed, one of the first cases to come before the court in novembers the fate of the affordable care act, which impacts at least 20 million americans. the trump administration still hasn't unveiled a replacement plan despite trump promising one for years. >> it certainly does exist. the president in the next week or so will be laying out his vision for health care. >> reporter: now, jake, you'll remember back in early august, the president said he was going to sign an executive order on pre-existing conditions. he never did, it never materialized. but now the vice president mike pence is telling cbs news the president is going to take some kind of executive action on pre-existing conditions in the coming days as we are still waiting to see what this health care plan out of the white house is going to be. pre-existing conditions are already covered under the law by the affordable care act, which the trump administration is trying to disable, to dismantle through the supreme court. so of course the question is going to be whether or not the level of pro

does it? >> well, craig, it really doesn't. i don't really care whether lindsey graham interview with a reporter. my question was, lindsey was in the room when one of those interviews took place. did lindsey know the federal government was downplaying the virus? you know, back here, he was saying, you know, do what you want normally do to prevent the flu, instead of saying, this is a life-threatening pandemic and you really need to take it seriously. and we've seen that he moved the goal post multiple times. at first he said success was 50,000 deaths, then 100,000 deaths, then 120,000 deaths. the death toll right now is around 190,000 deaths and many scientists and health care professionals believe it will be double that by the end of the year. when are we going to hold lindsey graham accountable for being a part of this debacle as it relates to effectively addressing the coronavirus? that's the thing i'm most concerned about. the politics, the washington game, who's to blame for this and that, i don't really care. i don't think the people in south carolina really care.

. >> brian: i wonder what it's like when cornyn and graham and the others in a battle. does it help or hurt? >> harris: yeah. i want to brush up and see, you know, does it matter if they vote before november 3 or after since we will still have a majority of republicans in the senate until the ends of the year. and president trump will still be in office until the end of the year. some of the nomenclature is getting this done before the end of the year. i said that three times but worth the question. we'll move on. more and more, democrats are threatening to pack the u.s. supreme court. if republicans confirm the president's nominee ahead of election day. so, what does democratic presidential nominee joe biden say about all of that? next. veteran homeowners: newday's helping thousands of veterans save thousands of dollars by refinancing at today's record low mortgage rates. with newday's va streamline refi, there's no appraisal, no income verification and no out of pocket costs. let newday help you use your va benefits to save $250 a month, that's $3000 a year. one call is al

quinnipiac poll showed senator graham tied with democratic challenger jaime harrison whom he took a dig at in yesterday's tweet. with 44 days left until the election, what doesother vulnerable republicans clinging to their seats and how will senate democrats respond? joining me now is michigan senator debbie stabenow, senator stabenow, thank you very much for being here this morning. >> absolutely, jonathan, it's always wonderful to be with you. and before we continue this discussion i just also have to send out my love and support to ruth bader ginsburg's family. and she really has been my hero. and her decisions, her fights, her dissents made a difference in not only my life, my daughter, my two granddaughters, my whole family. so we need to constantly remember that we need to pay attention to lifting up her life and her legacy. >> and thank you for that, senator. and to that point, how much of an impact will the loss of justice ginsburg have on those senate races? does it -- and this sounds crass, given that we're talking about the passing of a justice, but does it make it a little easier for democrats running for the senate to make the case that they sho

i really don't see how lindsey graham eats those words. if he does next senator from south carolina. >> yeah -- >> it is a terrible position that they've taken, and i don't really could wknow why they're thinking about the politics. they're pointing to their own power i think. >> how and when -- when roe v. wade was first decided, there was a delayed reaction from the religious right. they reacted a lot more strongly to the idea that segregated schools couldn't get a tax break than they did initially to roe v. wade. yet, it has being dogma. and now it's become really possible that they can overturn roe which also would be a political problem because in each state you then have a miniature war over women's fundamental rights. so i'm not sure politically how that helps them. but it is dogma. do you -- do you think that because of that these republicans will go ahead and even if they're blowing themselves up, walk right into that fire because abortion and taking down roe is such dogma in the party? among the base? >> well, i'm of the opinion that most r

lindsey graham's currency is his influence, supposedly with trump. does he have any? has some. and he offers some very rational, reasonable ideas. he said you're going to lose this election if you don't start doing something for the american people, by the way. one of the interesting multiple discussions with trump i had was do you understand black people and their anger and pain? and when i laid this out to him, the recording of this is available. i don't know that you've heard it, joy. but, i mean, here, look at this. he then says to me, oh, bob, you drank the kool-aid, listen to you. when i'm simply asking him about, do you understand what "black lives matter" people, what black people in this country feel? and particularly from the position he has of white privilege. he mocked me in a way that i, quite frankly, was shocked that anyone, let alone the president, was so out of tune about what was happening in this country. >> bob woodward, thank you very much. really appreciate your time tonight. thank you. >>> and still ahead, while it might sometimes seem like repu

does this affect relationships in the senate? sen. schumer: it is hard to those who spoke so strongly before, senator mcconnell and senator graham, when they do such an about-face on an issue that is so dramatically contradictory, it makes it hard. we will always have to try, but it created a lot of mistrust and ill feelings in a way i have not seen occur in the senate in a long time. reporter: [indiscernible] sen. schumer: just look at that. it is mcconnell who changed the rules, not us. reporter: was the senate moving too fast -- did the senate move too fsatast -- sen. schumer: it wasn't on the eve of an election like this. reporter: why does that matter? youorter: do your worry -- worry the language that everything is on the table could worry your colleagues? sen. schumer: we need change. we will figure out the best way to do it. nominee: is there any president trump could put forward that senate democrats could eventually get behind? sen. schumer: right now they come from the list of the federalist society, which has strictures that makes it difficult. you will have to wait and see. the names we heard are not acceptable. not even

. >> he sold his shop eight years ago to todd graham he told political news i think everything he does turns into a circus and i just didn't want to be involved in that. he still owns the property and praised trump for showing support for it one study showed donors in wisconsin had backed president trump more than biden, but biden is using record making fundraising to stomp out lies from president trump. >> joe biden takes a need for it. >> i want to make it clear, rioting is not protesting. >> that biden ad is the first major by focusing on public safety and part of its most expensive blitz yet. >> jackie, many thanks. >> tonight the nation's capital renewed unrest under law enforcement after an officer involved shooting late this evening. we are live from seventh district police headquarters in southeast washington. good evening, rich. to get you can see the headquarters building behind me basically when you talk about the seventh district headquarters it's what other cities would call their precinct or police department headquarters in that area. you got a couple hundred protesters

does it help tim to go with trump. you already have some sxhimt commitments. and lindsey graham using his past statement about how he would want to hold off on a tomorrow nation. and yes he has turned on that today. >> so what are the expectations given lindsey graham's comments, will he stick to his word? >> he tweeted out this morning that he had urge everyone too look at more recent statement. so i think that absolutely, into, there is no way that he is going to stay with his previous statement if it helps him even slightly. >> so is it better for the d democrats to push for the dame luck session? >> we know that the president will put out a nominee. that we can say for certain. and then this will go to mitch mcconnell. it will be his decision. certainly in-put from the white house, but streets not just about trying to keep donald trump in the when you saite hou trying to keep the senate majority. and i think that it will be -- remain to be seen whether or not they think that the bruising confirmation fight would be helpful prior to the election. or do we leave if open. and t

does it not? >> i might also add that that lindsey graham back in 2018 before he took over the chairmanship of the judiciary committee said that even if we were just into the primary season, he would not want to see a nominee advance in the election year. i might add this. i think mitch mcconnell has laid out what his principles are for this and as bret baier mentioned earlier, it's yes we would go forward and the only circumstance under which we wouldn't go forward in the election year as if the president and the senate were of the opposing parties which at this point they are not, that would set the stage for a nomination to be made in advance. but i think the circumstances may have changed since he outlined that. our american institutions right now and our political system were undergoing a stress test as difficult and intense as i've ever seen. i go back to the 60s when we had the tremendous upheaval and turmoil over the vietnam war and the divisions that provoked, what we are seeing now is more intense than that. i think leaders have to consider what the effect would be if we plunged what wou

does that take it off the issues you think can help you? >> lindsey graham says hearings start two weeks from tomorrow. they are moving ahead quickly with this process. let's talk about some of the president's comments this week about the electoral process, about the peaceful transfer of power. he walked that back a little bit but said a couple of times this week he would have to wait to see how things happen. he wouldn't agree to leave if he loses the vote. what does this mean for the time between november 3rd election day and a couple of days or maybe even weeks when mail-in votes are still being counted? how is this going to play out? >> that's what have a lot of folks in official washington concerned. you have folks at the pentagon nervous. will the president invoke the insurrection act and drag the military into a disputed election or even -- if it's not disputed, the president may claim it's disputed. there's fears that the president -- we know what this is. this is his vanity, it's a distraction tactic, it's ego more than it is some authoritarian trig

2017, a guy named john mccain had the courage to cast a does -- deciding vote that saved the affordable care act. that used to be lindsey graham'sddy. now, lindsey graham is here trying to do away with access to health care. make no mistake, they are trying to ram this nomination through because they want to undo the affordable care act. voters are going to see for those four days that health care is on the ballot. if they have a pre-existing conditions, they should be worried. lindsey graham wants to lead the effort to do away with that coverage. i welcome the conversation. david: good luck to you in the debate tonight. tune in tonight for our special coverage of the debate, kicking up at 8:00 new york time. this is "balance of power" on bloomberg television and radio. ♪ david: this is "balance of power" on bloomberg television and radio. i'm david westin. new york city has posted a daily coronavirus positive test rate of over 3% for the first time in months. governor andrew cuomo has been speaking about that problem. let's get more from michael mckee. not good news for new york city. mike: not good news for new york city altho

and lindsey graham said there were a couple judges that he himself didn't care for and rejected them. are you aware of that? >> and other senators too. >> does's his committee. >> lindsey and other people don't like him, wh they don't like him. they came out with a couple bad decisions. >> it's interesting. lindsey graham is worry ied tha the judiciary is going to become too partisan. do you agree with that? >> it's very partisan right now. >> it's always a party vote. >> it doesn't sound like he's concerned at all. pz. >> no, it is winning and what he wants to do. what's interesting in these conversations with him about judges and the supreme court, he clearly is engaged. had he realizes or believes it may be a winning issue for him. instead of talking about the virus, now we're talking about the supreme court nominee. jared kushner, the president's son-in-law, who is a senior adviser in the white house, in the book i quote kushner say in tallahassee theory behind all of this. and that is controversy elevates message. if you have a controversy, it will elevate your message. we're certainly going to have a controversy. the message here from

graham and kelly loeffler. those lean republicans. th democrats are going to be health care, health care, health care, how does this affect the senate map? carl: i think we're trying to game that out and so are the people who run these campaigns. there's two schools of thought here. but that it's probably not a great situation for cory gardner in colorado who's in big trouble in a state that doesn't like trump. arizona may already be lost. susan collins of course was at the center of the kavanaugh fight. some people think, well, maybe this can help susan collins who is opposed to moving forward schmo -- separate herself from trumprom trump. but we'll have to see about that. people think it could help symptom lagging republicans, thom tillis in north carolina, and i've heard republican strategists say to me, it's basically going to be a tillis-barrett ticket down there. and in other states. so right now, though, i think that democrats are probably remaining in a pretty good position to take the majority. it's interesting, bob, there's two things that mitch mcconnell really likes. he likes being majority leader. and he likes putting conse

president trump staging with this business owner, a gentleman named tom graham who owns this camera shop. he said, i think everything he does. i just didn't want to be involved in it. i think he needs to bring this country together rather than divide it. since he wasn't willing to play ball, president trump found the lo owner of the land. what's been the reaction of president trump's visit to your -- to your -- to your state? what has been the reaction to all of that theatrics? >> that's what it was, it was staged. his whole purpose was to come to wisconsin and he hoped to set the stage for the second civil war so that he can rationalize his law and order agenda. and the kenosha community was very smart about this. they collaborated and they got together ahead of time. the mayor, good friend of mine, the faith-based community, other community leaders that said we do not want to feed the fuel of violence. so what they decided to do was to have a jacob blake community day. and they registered people to vote. they gave free covid tests. free haircuts for the kids. free food. music. they had a no protest day. meanwhile, down th

he does not represent our values and is wrong for the country. let's go back and talk about lindsey graham and the nomination of amy coney barrett for the supreme court. lindsey graham and the reason why he changed his mind. i will read it to you. lindsey graham says this. after the treatment of justice kavanaugh, i now have a different view of the judicial confirmation process. compare the treatment of clarence thomas, samuel alito, to brett kavanaugh compared ruth bader ginsburg, sonia sotomayor, and elena kagan, it is clear that there is one set andules for a democratic one set of rules for a republican nomination. we should support any nomination by president trump. what do you think? guest: senator graham is donald trump's bis golf partner pete he can give a damn about any nomination whatsoever. host: we have another question that came from one of our social media followers, and i will put this to you. kasich thath john some issues like abortion are dwarfed by the need to remove donald trump from office? god help us if he does. what is your response to that? guest: the need to remove

does the confirmation fight distract? lindsey grahamtough battle for reelection against jamie harrison. >> i am really excited about being the chairman of the judiciary committee at a time i can help shepherd a qualified nominee through the process. the reason we run for office and do all the things we do is for these moments. this is the super bowl of what a chairman would do. >> here is the schedule. lynndie graham says he hopes to get it out of the judiciary committee around the 22nd of october. hearings in two weeks and agree to hold off on a committee vote, not a floor vote, until the 22nd of october. then it takes a couple of days to process this on the senate floor and probably several days to debate it. this is a supreme court nomination so you see just how tight this time window is as they get down toward the end of the month trying to get this done before the november election. trace. >> trace: the days going forward, how many more meetings does judge barrett have and how many more do we expect democrats to jump on board, if a

you got lindsey graham and his race saying he wants to see his opponent's tax records, he does not think trump has to show his. what do you think biden's best defense? this guy is proof of the problem. trump is fighting the problem. gore runs against him in '88. he's the problem with our culture. he was there for all of it. all with the elections and the cdc, all of it is biden's fall because he's been there all these years. i am the changed ageneral. changed agent. >> i know joe biden to be a man of absolute integrity. he's the nicest guy in the world. all of that adds up to the kind of experience that'll come in handy and straighten out the huge mess that trump has made here. i think he's the right person for this job at the right time and i think he inspires confidence. there is some people who thinks he's willing to get along with republicans. that's a good thing right now. to promote a bipartisan approach is yet another approach that we need and joe biden represents that kind of spirit in american democracy. >> former vp, al gore, thank you for making your case about science and you

graham believes he will have the votes. leave it to the senators at this point. this will be a nominee that will unify republicans. >> president is a good nose counter. doeshe think he has 51? >> i missed the first part. >> he has been a good nose counter. does he think he has 51? >> i think he is trying to select the nominee. i haven't spoke to him about the vote count. we believe the republicans will remained unified. >> the president is giving a healthcare speech on thursday. is this finally the long-awaited comprehensive healthcare policy? there were doubts that such a thing actually exists. >> it certainly does exist. the president in the next week or so will lay out his vision for healthcare. some of that has already been put out there. like telemedicine. lowering the cost of drugs. protecting the preexisting conditions. but the president will lay out additional healthcare steps in the coming i would say two weeks. yes. >> thank you. i have two questions. the first is the president has said roe v. wade would be overturned if he got a chance to change balance on the court. in 2016 he said if we put another two, perhaps three justices on its will happ

but that does not make it any less concerning and embarrassi embarrassing. >> after about four hours of testimony, lindsey graham was fired up calling for people to be held accountable. >> that we end to the whole drama within some of these things happen, no bad talk, really needs to be held accountable, other than, yes, my fault intellectually. somebody needs to be fired or go to jail. >> it is worth noting that james comey appeared voluntarily, there was no need for subpoena. >> bill: i want to bring in mike mccarthy and ken starr to take us through this. i want to invite both of you. we will move to some of the election matters. andy, you wrote a big piece last night. what do we learn today about what james comey did with that information or do not do? >> well, he kind of distance himself most of it. this is the new trend in washington. if you ran an agency that has a scandal, everybody is willing to take responsibility, but nobody wants to take blame, and he made it quite clear that that was where he was coming from. he said that most of the information he thought about the investigation in his own office, h

you, john mccain and lindsey graham were the so-called three amigos. how does it feel to have the president of the united states talk about a statesman and a leader like john mccain but also someone who was your close friend? >> well, i have find it very offensive and i don't understand it. it's so irrational, even in the sense of doing something for political reasons. there's no political benefit in it. and i'll tell you what sustains me as i read these quotes. john was alive when -- during the campaign in 2016. that was when then candidate trump called him a loser. john almost laughed at it because it was so crazy. he knew and everyone else knows, a great war hero and a great patriot who always put -- really john mccain always put america first. so his record speaks for itself and he's kind -- these kind of nonsensical comments i don't think really would affect john at all. you might -- he might get angry because he had a temper but i think it's so over the edge that he probably at some level would laugh at it. because he realized how ridiculous it is to call

does. health care is the number one issue here in south carolina. as a result of republicans like lindsey graham refusing to fully implement the affordable care act, we haven't had medicaid expansion here in south carolina. we're one of 12 state that hasn't expanded medicaid. as a result, 250,000 people in this state that don't have health care. but if they lived in 38 other states they would. as a result of that, we've had four of our rural hospitals that have closed over the past few years. if you live in one of those communities, it doesn't matter if you're a democrat or republican, whether you vote for jaime harrison or lindsey graham, but if you have complications with diabetes or you need to go to a doctor, instead of it taking you ten minutes to get to the hospital, it now makes you 35, 45 minutes. that's a death sentence. you don't care if it's a democratic or republican solution, you just want a solution. you want the hospital. >> you're speaking to me as someone running against a republican incumbent in the state of south carolina, leaning into the affordable care act and preserving an

does mock council have the votes. lindsey grahams to confirm justice ginsburg's replacement before the election. we will move forward in the committee. out of committee to the floor of the united states senate so we can vote before the election. griff: democrats need only two additional g.o.p. belong murkowski. one republican that was in question. cory gardner signaled strong support yesterday saying. this should a nominee who meets this criteria be put forward, i will vote to confirm. i was two g.o.p. senators chuck grassley and joni ernst not going quite that far saying they are ready to evaluate the nominee on the merits. meanwhile joe biden islaming the president over his decision to move forward while refusing to release a list of his own potential candidates. so here is who to watch today. mitt romney going to the g.o.p. lunch. he has been tight-lipped we will see what he says. republican no making three. vice president pence will have to tie confirm and that would be a first? president speaking in ohio and crowd was chanting

does it mean? >> what it means is i think you'll see what i would call is in -- plaque flips including lindsey grahamho will say and do whatever the white house want them to say and do. the real reaction is from the white house trying to figure out what thom knee will most help donald trump get re-elected. in other words if he floats a name of someone, possibly a woman, who conservatives love, it would be an excellent tool for him to get his base organized and enthusiastic and compared to that the senators inincluding those up for re-election like lindsey graham will be expected to fall in line to support that strategy and try the best they can to make the november election not about the pandemic, not about the mass unemployment, not about the uprising for racial justice that's still going on all over the country but try to make about it the long term conservative agenda of stacking the supreme court with the people who are going to do what they want to do. so i think that's what you're going see and compared to that large objective, getting the president re-elected, getting the conservative agenda f

we've heard senator collins saying she does not believe there should be a vote prior to the election. there were questions about what senator lindsey grahamhe past and what he's saying now in terms of whether this should move. i'm wondering what you think in terms of how republican senators are viewing this. if you're a republican in a tough race and you are concerned about losing the white house to joe biden and missing the chance to get another member of the supreme court confirmed that your constituents will like, i wonder if it makes more sense for some republican senators to just bite the bullet, break precedent, and go for the nominee. otherwise, they go back to constituents with a double lose as opposed to a draw. we lost the white house, but we cemented a conservative majority for two generations. what do you think? [ inaudible ] >> susan, i'm real sorry, we're having audio problems on your end. you're really faint. we're going to try to fix that in one second. sorry about that. felipe, let me put that question to you briefly. what do you make of the calculus of that, of coming home with a draw, losing the white house but gaining

opposite of what they said as in the case of graham in south carolina, of what they said emphatically when judge garland had been nominated by president obama? doeseven care that he's putting them in a dangerous political position? >> you're presuming that he cares about anyone or anything other than himself, which he does not. if they lose the election, he doesn't particularly care, it's all about him. >> now, let me ask you, you have said one of the things you wanted to commit your life to, and you told me this even before you were sentenced and knew what was going to happen, is you want to deal with prison reform. you think there needs to be a way that we are treating inmates differently and better. and you and i had breakfast in manhattan when you were facing an uncertain future at that time and you were talking about it then. you've come out and you've been more adamant now. what exactly do you have in mind? >> i don't know. let me say this. when trump started to talk about prison reform and he put jared kushner in charge of it, that quickly went away, as we talked about. and the reason that it went away is because he realized, and i say thi
