lindsey graham never said that about bill clinton when lindsey graham was one of the house judiciaryttee prosecutors in bill clinton's senate impeachment trial. he's denied it. and that's all i need to hear. like donald trump jr. before him, lindsey graham seems to have come to his public position of love of donald trump by working his way through his hatred and fear of donald trump. yesterday donald trump jr. tweeted this about e. jean carroll's rape accusation. enough is enough with this bull crap. let him do his job. is that what donald trump jr. said to his mother when his mother under oath accused his father of raping her? the very first person to accuse donald trump of rape was his first wife, donald trump jr.'s mother, and she did it under oath in a deposition. she said donald trump attacked her and ripped her hair out and raped her because he was angry that her plastic surgeon did a bad job on his hair. it was around that time that donald trump jr. stopped speaking to his father. reports indicate that donald enough is enough with this bull crap. let him do his job. is that wh

graham: without a doubt. we'll just codify the -- we'll codify the -- we'll work on working on codifying the temporary emergency order, make it permanent. but i'd like to go a step beyond that. i'd like to really send a shout across the bow to people who do this for a living that could be a completely separate crime. i think senator kennedy has another hearing so we will adjourn the hearing and open the record at appropriate time for further input and i appreciate very much what you've done to help the committee.

lindsey graham. thank you for coming on. lindsey graham. he's been a loyal advocate, supporter and any other adjective you can think of for president trump. is he beatable in south carolina? >> yes, he is, rev. the common phrase that i hear all the time in south carolina is what happened to lindsey graham. what's going on with this guy? what happened to him? it really is sad. lindsey graham was a person that i actually respected. even though i disagreed with him politically, i thought he was a man of conviction. he could stand above the fray and help solve some of the issues that we see in this country and in this state. we have really seen the true lindsey graham over the past few months. i think george will put it perfectly. lindsey graham is a political wind sock. he is doing everything that he can in order to collect this political power. what he calls relevance. he wants to be relevant. for me what relevance means is you only relevant if you're doing your job. if you're out there fighting for th

that is why i go back to senator graham. senator graham has years of experience and a great relationship with the president. senator graham, if there is a person that can make the case for president trump that this is a win for the white house into the 2020 election, it is lindsey graham from south carolina. if that is the opportunity , we hope thatve for the good of the country and the good of dreamers and the good of recipients of temporary protected status and deferred enforcement departure that the president acts on this opportunity. host: time for a couple more calls. margaret in kansas, a democrat. caller: there is no discussion about the corporations and their responsibility in this fiasco where filipinos do not come to the border there, and we have problems in chicago, where nurses had to compete with filipino nurses and nigerian nurses who were brought over by the corporations and paid less than we were. it sets up a bad thing. here you have wonderful people who are capable of running things. like any group, have a

that's really why i think i keep going back to senator graham. he has years of experience on this, relationship with the president and i think that senator graham, a person who can make the case, this is a political win for the white house into the 2020 election, from south carolina. if that is the opportunity to publicans have we just hope that for the good of the country and dreamers in our recipients, that the president in this opportunity. >> a couple of more calls. >> is no discussion about the corporations here. responsibility in this fiasco where the pinots have that. we have had problems in chicago where nurses had to compete with people to filipino nurses and nigerian nurses. brought over by the corporations and paid less than we were. so what sets up a bad thing. here you have wonderful people who are capable, running things. it's just that like any group, with a new group coming in and start doing things, then you have the blacks in chicago, they couldn't get the construction jobs, if you bring over the next, romanians and albanians, t

we heard from senator lindsey graham. watching on those that were just a few moments ago, here is what iran needs to get ready for. now we are watching for it. you can see it in the center of your screen there at the pentagon, what will the united states do in response to having our asset, our drone, shot down over international waters for what we are being told is iran? what will happen next with our national security advisor, john bolton, how do now, we're told, to israel? all of this coming together now in the last little while. senator graham with the loudest voice right now this morning. if they are itching for a fight, they are going to get one. we are a lot closer to the confrontational war. he said we are a lot closer today than we were yesterday. at the pentagon, we will hear about what potentially is next. and at the white house, you saw the president with the prime minister of canada. we wondered what -- when they emerge from the white house, what the topics would be. clearly, the president being asked question

lindsey graham striking a very different, all bets are off tone. >> and being there with senator graham who i've known for many years there was a level of intensity and sort of a fire in his belly today that was really perceptible in person and maybe it came through on camera as well. while he was very careful to say he is not speaking for the president he was putting a lot of pressure on the president to take some action likening it to when president obama had drawn the so-called red line with syria and then didn't carry out a military action, also making very clear the u.s. relationship with israel is so critical here and it is his expectation that israel may have its own interests in trying to push back the iranian regime from this kind of provocative action. i asked about the president's tweet today that iran made a big mistake which he also repeated in his oval office meeting with the canadian prime minister justin trudeau, and senator graham fired back very quickly that the tweet was provocative. it was in fact the actions of iran. so we may see a case of of the president trying t

here's senator graham. >> that iran made a big mistake? made a big mistake by shooting our drone down. >> is that provocative? >> no. what's provocative is to shoot the drone down. what's provocative is to blow up a japanese oil tanker trying to start negotiations with the united states. what's provocative is having your proxy shoot into saudi arabia. trump's not the problem. >> and senator graham, when i also asked him if he said that the u.s. aid to our friend israel in that region would include military action if needed, he said 100%. at the same time he wasn't getting ahead of where things are, but clearly graham is arguing to the president that the u.s. must respond in some fashion to send a clear signal to iran, and he said to other kind of rogue states including north korea not to mess with the united states in this way. so it certainly seems like things have racheted up. and we are trying to follow the mood, the facts, the briefings that have gone on. we have seen other leaders get briefings today. this seems to be at a very tense

lindsey graham that defends president trump said the president made a mistake. the president has made similar comments before and he's doubled down today. during the 2016 campaign, he said he hoped russia would find hillary clinton's deleted e-mails. he praised wikileaks for publishing stolen dnc documents. rich edson live. rich? >> shep, the white house says the criticism is misplaced. the president speaks with foreign leaders every day and he doesn't report that to the fbi. but they say there's a different with meeting with counterparts and others trying to interfere and meddle in an american election. >> the fact that this president has so little moral compass or understanding of the need to protect our nation, that he says he would still welcome information from russia, china or any other potential adversary if it helped his political campaign is outrageous. >> senator lindsey graham expanded on his position saying i believe it should be practice for all public officials that are contacted by a foreign government with an off of assistance to their campaign e

here he is, this guy, franklin graham.nald trump's immoral and unethical behavior and went so far as to call on democratic presidential candidate pete buttigieg to repent for being gay. a religious reform activist and author of why i am an atheist who believes in god. and jonathan capehart is back with me as well. he bought tyler perry's plane. he can't fly commercial because of demons on the plane. he lives a luxurious lifestyle on the backs of the people who donate in his churches. he is now the guy that is part of leading this call to prayer with franklin graham. your thoughts? >> i come from an evangelical background. in the '70s and '80s i knew these guys. i grew up with franklin graham. he used to visit our house. we go way back. you have to look at franklin and copeland and these other people as opportunist who is are out for power, out for money, and they are the same sort of con artists when it gets to their basic genetic structure. they understand each other. so when you look at what franklin is doing this is a f

when you look at the language lindsey graham used, hallie, lindsey graham is, of course, an air lawyer, he was laying the legal predicate for some sort of military response. that's why lindsey graham's responses are so important. as to the debate where it was, in international airspace, over iran, that is largely academic. if the united states military, the institutions that have the most fire hour in the region, if they think that drone was in international waters, that will govern and guide their response. i think we need to wait to see what happens at this meeting at noon. we know mike pompeo will be there. this appears the president is escalating and not deescalating and that's significant. >> hans nichols, stay on top of this. appreciate it. >>> on the democrats, not the response some democrats wanted to see from joe biden as former vice president defends his comments about working with segregationist senators in the '70s. in his first comment about the controversy, blowing off criticism from people like senator cory booker. watch. >> are you going to apologize. >> apologize for w

i was pleased to see what lindsey graham said. the republicans have been generally see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. they've been the classic three monkeys in elvis' television room and other places as well. that's what they've done. they've just refused to accept any truth and they go by don't belie my lying lips and don't believe what you hear or what you see. >> will your committee ask to hear from christopher wray about this? >> he will come before our committee as he always does to give a report. this gives more urgency to have him sooner than later. i'm sure he will come. >> congressman steve cohen from tennessee, thanks for coming back on the show. >> nice to be back. >>> it's not just democrats on capitol hill, democrats on the campaign trail calling on the house to immediately start impeachment hearings. i want to play what senator kamala harris and former congressman beto o'rourke had to say here on msnbc. >> yet again, this president is putting his self-interest in front of the interest of our democracy. >> it m

we underscore what we heard from lindsey graham, very strong rhetoric from senator lindsey graham who will be meeting with president trump today and signaling there will be some type of response, andrea. >> joining us now, kristen, msnbc political analyst jonathan lamb mere, white house reporter for the associated press. jonathan, we believe the president is taking questions from the pool. that is not live so we'll get that turned around as soon as we know more about it. this is the first time we can see there a photo from inside the oval office with justin trudeau. as you know very well, the president's relationship with justin trudeau has been contentious over trade more than nipping else, but also now as a nato ally and as someone keenly interested in this mutual defense and in the iran situation. they've got to be talking, first of all, about iran today. >> yes. i'll following along with the pool reports from our colleagues inside the oval office at this moment. you're right about the relationship with the prime minister of canada. trade is certainly a source of that tension. but

lindsey graham was doing ok in south carolina, not great. now he is through the roof. [applause] pres. trump: thank you. great job. great people. all of them. family of to ruin the now, just as -- justice kavanaugh. they tried to ruin his career. they tried to ruin his life. they even wanted to impeach him on fraudulent charges. those charges were a fraud. he did nothing wrong. all in the pursuit of political domination and control. just imagine what this angry left wing mob would do if they were in charge of this country. imagine if we had a democrat

there are probably more art galleries than anything else at st davids, although in the case of graham'sstudio and his living quarters as well. it is a real one man and his dog operation at the new street gallery. his models, however, see it all as a therapeutic exercise as much as anything else. i quite enjoyed it, really, because i'm a busy mum, studying, working in a cafe, doing my jewellery. so for me to sit down, it's a bit of time out, really. a bit of time for reflection. it's a mammoth task for graham and the plan is to exhibit the first 800 to 1000 portraits in the cathedral. what are you actually achieving by doing this? a bit of social history, i think, somebody has described it a — for me, personally, it is engaging more and more with the community. do people ever complain about the way you have depicted them? i think people have been slightly shocked. people have said, "i look a bit dowdy." it doesn't matter what age you depict somebody, you still see their inner beauty. and guess what? a few days later i got this through email. well, graham tells us that he is now around ha

well, grahame tells us that he is now around halfway through painting everyone in saint davids, so only or so to go. good luck with that. anyway, make sure you stay with us because coming up... screams. we remember the time ade burned some rubber in dubai. wowwhee, that was incredible, so much more power. we are about to set off, 100 kilometres down a very icy hill. and christa went for one of the most intense journeys of her life. oh, man, whoo. that was like being in a very cold tumble dryer. that was completely insane, whoo. behind me, far off into the distance, is one of the most iconic sites in the world, the statue of liberty. and back in may, i went to liberty island to visit a brand new museum, just a few weeks before it opened. i even helped them out with some of the final preparations. the piece de resistance, the original torch. the torch. the original torch. wow. it stood up there from 1886 to 1984. the original torch had been changed from bartholdi's design to include a glass—panel flame that could be lit up at night. in the 19805 it was removed and replaced during a massiv

when senator john mccain and spoke to senator lindsey graham, graham said take this to the fbi. anybody who got that was supposed to take that to the fbi and that's the universal theme regardless of parties. if this ever came to us, take it to the fbi because where else would you go on something like that? >> this has been a national conversation for two-plus years, including the confirmation of the fbi's director if he says in the case of say donald trump jr. or a hypothetical can, you got a phone call from somebody, quick little google shows they have associations with a has file foreign government, you should call law enforcement. george stephanopoulos asked the president about this. >> this is somebody who said we have information on your opponent. oh, let me call the fbi. give me a break. >> the fbi director says that's what should happen. >> the fbi director is wrong. >> fun to work for him in that he calls you out. at least christopher wray understands there's no ambiguity there about what the president thinks, but he says, you know, life -- give me a break. life doesn't

marco rubio and lindsey graham.t's all, well, nothing to see here, love this guy at the podium, donald trump. but then our friends at "deadline white house" with nicole wallace felt it was their civic duty to put something together to remind us, in this crazy business of politics, where we've been, the brief history of donald trump, marco rubio, and lindsey graham. >> it's rubio! >> he's always calling me little marco. and i'll admit he's taller than me, like 6'2", which is why i don't understand why his hands are the size of someone who's 5'2". he says i'm sweating all the time. it's hot in here. am i sweating now? he doesn't sweat, he doesn't sweat because his pores are clogged from the spray tan that he uses. >> this guy, lindsey graham, one of the dumbest human beings i've ever seen. i think lindsey graham is a disgrace and i think you have one of the worst representatives of any representative in the united states. >> stay in the race, just stop being a jackass. you don't have to run for president and be the wo

manu, senator graham said the president's comments were a mistake. but then he turned to the dossier. what are other republicans saying? are you seeing similar spin from other republicans? >> reporter: absolutely. most republicans are either defending the president saying, well, of course he would go to the fbi if this was a damaging information discounting what we all heard the president say in this interview, or some saying they haven't seen his comments or some making the case that you are just talking about trying to say this is similar to what happened in 2016 involving the clinton campaign and the steele dossier. but the reactions are spanning around -- run the gamut. but for the most part, defending the president in saying that the president, if it came down to it, probably would go ahead and call the fbi. take a listen. >> i listened to the interview. what i heard the president say is that he would do both. he would listen, and he under certain circumstances would call the fbi. look, there are some exceptions to this, obviously. but unless th

but why is lindsey graham -- what has happened in lindsey graham's world between then and now?r re-election next year. he needs the president's support. if he would break with him, which he has given every indication he will not do on a variety of issues, the president could support someone challenging him. so we know senator graham is not going to. but other people who are not up for re-election, chuck grassley, for one, he does not believe that these ideas should be linked. the immigration and tariffs. so -- but at the end of the day, i think we've seen enough here over the last two and a half years to know that most senate republicans are going to grumble privately among themselves, amongst themselves. we'll see if they actually do anything about it. i'm a little skeptical that they will. >> but i think it gives democrats an opportunity. think about it, there have been two studies now that suggest that these tariffs will actually increase taxes. that's the net effect on low and middle-income people. so that would give us the turnt opportunity to say, great, so republicans vo

. >> another lindsey graham.> another lindsey graham. but john bolton i don't necessarily think wants a deal. >> he doesn't care who the president is. he's john bolton. i'm going to say one thing. i'm going to make a little editorial. if trump had taken military action, i would have come down hard on him. i think it's good he hesitated. i think hesitating before you take military action and asking how many casualties there are going to be is a good question. the fact he found out it was see people -- we went into iraq, everybody said it was going to be quick and easy, a slam dunk. we may have killed between 150,000 and 1 million people, iraqis, they were just there, they weren't the bad guys. we only make that calculation now. i like the president asked up front how many people will die if we take this step? i think it's good and i'm glad he did it. >> i think it's pretty clear that he doesn't want a military escalation. there is some, you know, debate over when he asked or whatever. clearly he didn't want a mili
