graham. lindsey graham during the time president clinton was being impeached said the american presidency has to be about honor and integrity, honor and integrity. i ask any reasonable person to consider whether what we're seeing and hearing out of the white house now have been hearing and seeing for quite some time meets the standard of honor and integrity. >> there is chuck grassley citing the idea that george washington never told a lie, and therefore there is the standard that presidents have to live by. there is not a single senator now in the senate who voted for the removal of bill clinton from office, who has said one thing this week objecting to anything they learned about donald trump in federal court on tuesday when michael cohen pled guilty. >> and that's the reason we should not underest kate donald trump going forward. he's not a knock down these last 48 to 60 hours. we're now about to found out what kind of fighter he is. while it may be unpleasant for some people, i ask that they will reminded that some 89% of people who call themselves republican still stand behind donald tru

graham we came katherine graham. and, the fold in of all of the -- you know, a president that was frying to thwart the truth. an attack, delegitimizing the press, supreme court making its decisions as well as the the reality aof what a woman faced n the board room when things are supposed to be ameritocracy. put tight geogether. and, it ends up being a caldron for 201 n8 now. go back, study history see. how it relates to now? you realize this ongo, fight to form a more perfect union is as american as apple pie. >> i am struck, the week that katherine grahamkatherine graham. sunny was brave. sunny went against her own tribe. so friendly with robert mcnamara and cabinet secretaries. when you fry to internalize it. you do a great job of looking and sound like her. what were you aiming for? >> i was aiming, really, to, to portray a woman of, of my mother's generation. who -- confronted a moment in the 70s. when everything changed for women. it was sort of of a breakout moment. at the time this film takes place. 1971. just a week and a half in, in that time. ken kent state was happening. social upupheavals. on the fulcrom of a change there were no female cs of any industry. companies at that time. very, very hair. she was in the position she inherited it. her father owned the paper. passed tight her husband. she was basically 45 years old. her husband died. the mantel of "the post" and 3,000 employees and everything. fell to her. the clip we will play. katherine graham at breakfast with you. tom hangs. benjamin bradley. the editor of "the was

graham explaining why he voted to impeach president bill clinton. today after the president of the united states once again threatened the rule of law in this country and attacked and insulted lindsey graham's dear friend, the attorney general of the united states, senator lindsey graham could not remember the words that congressman lindsey graham said on that historic day on the house floor and instead lindsey graham said this. >> the president's entitled to an attorney general he has faith in, somebody that's qualified for the job. and i think there will come a time sooner rather than later where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the department of justice. >> and there you just witnessed the collapse of a political civilization. the president is entitled to an attorney general he has faith in. lindsey graham actually said that on the same day that the president said that the standard prosecutorial tool that all attorneys general have used, flipping witnesses, should be illegal. lindsey graham said the president is entitled to an attorney general he has faith in and lindsey graham knows the only attorney general this president would have faith in is an attorney general that would always protect the president of the united states, which now means

graham lindsey graham, his best friend here in the senate. the white house -- senator whitehouse. good friend of wind who i met through many trips through senator mccain. so many have been coming down to the floor. tributes on the senate floor and in the newspapers across the country have been inspiring and they have been true. talking about a man of courage, a steadfast patriot. an american hero. a warrior of the indomitable spirit who not only believed in american exceptionalism but expired -- but inspired millions of americans and millions of people across the globe to believe in it as well. listened,watched and sometimes i have started to wonder what more is there to ask? there has been a lot said. especially from a freshman senator who has not served with john knew the as long as most in this chamber. taught us john mccain anything, it was to speak and you feel compelled to speak. when it comes to him, i certainly feel compelled to speak. particularly as a newer member of this body who thought the world of this man and learned so much from him. john mccain was a leader, there is no arguing about that. one of the qualities of leadership that is so important -- sometimes gets overlooked that was a huge quality of this great senator -- was his ability to focus on, give his time and willingness to mentor newer members of the senate. if you look at the arc of his three decades of service in the u.s. senate, one thing he always took the time to do was to take newer members under his wing, show them the ropes, travel with ,hem, teach them, coach them and of course this takes time and effort heard it takes energy. it takes initiative. we are all busy here in the united states senate heard. a reallywas and is important hallmark of the mccain legacy. critical. ,nd it is a bipartisan legacy mr. president. just look at the senators who have come to the floor to speak about senator mccain. look at some of the network senators who have come to the floor. ernst, whitehouse, graham of course. many who have had that privilege. the great privilege of having john mccain actually take an interest in them and the spending his precious time and energy on their well-being and careers here in the senate. president, one of the true owners of my life was having john mccain as a rent and mentor here in the u.s. senate. happens come at the time this was happening you don't always think about it too much, but now as we look here at i am so grateful that i had these experiences. things with john mccain it was not a social experience. experience. in fact the time i didn't feel i had a choice in the matter. i first month in the senate in january 2015, like a lot of new senators, i was clueless here. rules, faces, names, votes. pulledne of the senate me aside on the floor of the senate on two different times that first month i was a senator. one, he was talking about institution that mattered to him. the u.s. naval academy. , under to me, dan federal law the chairman of the arme

phone conversation with senator lindsey graham and lindsey graham simply pressed the president to hold off on that until after the midterm elections. lindsey grahamy hell to pay if the president fired attorney general jeff sessions. "politico" goes on to report that the president is, quote, seized by par rox sins of anger. it says if sessions' recusal was his original sin, trump has come to resent him for other reasons, griping to aids and lawmakers that the attorney general doesn't have the ivy league pedigree the president prefers, that he can't stand his southern accent and that sessions isn't a capable defender of the president on television in part because he, quote, talks like he has marbles in his mouth. the president has told aids. we are joined now by jonathan and jill wine-banks. and jonathan, i guess we can just skip over donald trump's queens accent that some people in alabama might be occasion ly uncomfortable with. this is one attempt to explain the flipping that we have seen this week, most recently lindsey graham, most dramatically lindsey graham going from there's holy hell to pay going to it's okay with me. do it after voters ca

that you elude to, which is the old lindsey graham truth telling trump criticizing lindsey graham and new trump loving, trump excusing, trump enabling lindsey graham. what we have been talking a lot about, senator john mccain this week, what a disappointment the new lindsey graham would be to senator mccain. >> and stewart, what do you make of what we've seen lindsey graham do just in the last couple of months, especially the last couple of weeks. somebody who said holy hell to pay if you think about firing jeff session. now lindsey graham enabling the firing of jeff sessions saying of course the president deserves an attorney general who he can have confidence in. >> well, look, it's someone who has admired senator graham, it makes my heart hurt and my head hurt. i just don't understand it. they all served with senator session. they all seemed to like senator sessions. it seems to be the sin senator sessions committed here is actually doing his job that he was appointed to do and caring more about that job than about serving a political patron, which, you know, i would have thought that the senator graham that i admire would applaud that. it is j

day or so later while he was there he explained to rob goldstone they attended the billy graham franklin graham event. are you saying basically at that point that donald trump was running for president next >> guest: we knew he had talked about it a lot. there is a sort of after story epilogue even after the deal collapses, they see him in the first trump tower meeting, they need -- they need -- keenest telegraphing his plan to run for president tied in with the son of the connected oligarch and also another point on this advocate of this, you guys in the imposition committee and us on this meeting we will get to that. but who are the people that set that up? the e-mails are pretty clear the cast of characters that run through the story. the first meeting in january, 2015 he's sharing his ideas or the notion that he might run for president. what do you think he possibly did? >> guest: key told the whole power structure of moscow so it is like he' he is considering running and then 15 months or so later when the second meeting happens and the dirt on hillary clinton that is presented to the top

don't want to see him go. >> could it be that lindsey graham, again, someone who has been in the upper chamber since the '90s could it be that lindsey grahamthat interview, that sound bite we've been playing, was seeing that as sort of a flare? he was throwing up a flare for other republican lawmakers to create some sort of backlash, a preemptive strike? >> it's possible. certainly that happened in the past. we've noted time and time again how rarely it is that republican senators stand up to this president. going to bad for jeff sessions was one of those cases. they've done it before. they continue to counsel the president privately that he shouldn't. i think what we're seeing here is just as nancy said the president's frustrations boiling over in terms of this week that has seen the manafort conviction and cohen taking guilty plea. that he feels this is emblematic of this deep state witch hunt conspiracy that he thinks has been undermining him since the day he took office and he is lashing out at jeff sessions. remember, he has said time and time again where is my roy cohen? like, i want someone loyal to me like bobby kennedy was. >> nan

graham, senator graham's daughter, a former congress woman. that's -- that was a tough row to hoe and he did it. >> he absolutely did it. i would point out, of course, that bob graham hasn't been a senator from that state for a very long period of time. although i'm alrelative young guy, i'm not that young, before i was able to vote. the graham name? the state is not perhaps as good as he was. i would say he was able to put a lot of money into social media. i think those two things were able to help him. he was able to pick up momentum. one other thing, the three candidates besides gillum, they all went negative against each other and they were afraid of going negative against john gilchrist up. -- gillum. >> wow. making history tonight. first african-american major party winning right now. he's gootd november. he's got to go up against a trump supporter but we shall see. april, i want you to stick around. larry, thank you very much. we'll get harry back as needs be. tonight we're learning that president trump gave a stark warning to evangelicals, a warning of violence if republicans lose in the mid terms. cnn listened to a recording of what the president said, a r

graham say yesterday that he is fine with the president getting rid of sessions. >> let's listen to both cornen and graham. >> i think it would be a mistake. i don't think it would be good for the country. >> it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice. attorney general sessions doesn't have the confidence of the president. >> on that, where do you think the majority of the republican party in congress lands on whose side? >> i would say the majority still with sessions. cornyn, what he says, carries a lot of weight. they don't want this battle right now. there's no doubt that sessions is losing support on the hill. for instance, i called gary palmer, who is a republican from alabama, close with sessions yesterday to get his take on this sort of back and forth. at one point gary palmer was defending and blasting his colleagues who were criticizing sessions. but gary palmer told me he has his own problems with sessions. he specifically listed some of the things that the president was tweeting about this morning regarding document production to congress, rod rosenstein perhaps not the best person to be working in the justice department, according to him. he was unhappy with certain things that sessions was doing. i think it's really interesting, the conversation is changing. i don't think that's a good sign for sessions. it's a matter of time, i think, before he goes. >> ryan, help me understand with all of the things you listed, including the civil threats, why does it behoove him or does he think it does to have this spat with the attorney general? >> i love being on with rachel. she brings fresh reporting. >> isn't that interesting? we should have booked him. >> you know, i think that's really fascinating that what lindsey graham said. graham has been a sort of defender of the justice department, has tried his best to steer trump towards not doing anything too stupid, tried to argue that trump just -- at the very least politically if not just for democracy sake that he shouldn't interfere with the investigations, he shouldn't fire anyone. i do find it really interesting that graham is just sort of out there saying that sessions' days are numbered, which i think undermines sessions quite a bit. it makes him look like a lame duck. that's a key development there. i think trump has been informed that he can't fire sessions because if he fires him, the senate has to confirm a new nominee and that's a tough battle. if sessions resigns -- i think i have the law right here -- the vacancies act might allow trump to replace him temporarily. >> it does, for a short period of time. >> so trump's whole game here is to push this guy out, force him to resign. sessions obviously realizes that. the important thing, not to be t

graham. when graham says hey, is that trump asking that question, it sounds like trump and the rhetoric, that is a room full of republicans there. it sounds like trump has reached the base of his party with the message. >> first, i talked to lawyers who were on the clinton legal team, and the number one thing they did was to make sure that president clinton wasn't worried about the investigation. and in this case, trump is obsessed with it. to your question on whether or not this go he is to republican ace goals and whether or not this might help them in the midterm, the president is giving his base this vocabulary to motivate. witch hunt, words like crooked. they are out to get me. they are out to get our goals. out to get the person you put your trust in. republicans feel, as least the president does feel this might help them in the midterms. and when i talk to democrats out in the country, yes, they are worried about the russia investigation but worried about the economy and other things. so russia gets lost in the shuffle. so president trump could benefit from the idea that people can't k

graham. rom south carolina. mr. graham: thank you. i have been thinking about this. i have been dreading this. and i am now going to do this. to all of my colleagues who have gone before me, you have done right by our friend, senator mccain. the family appreciates all the good words, the kindnesses, the anecdotes that have come their way. this is a tough time for the family. john has seven wonderful children, cindy, devoted wife, you really did well by john. but before anything else, i just want to know -- i'm going to try to make this somewhat fun, even though i don't feel in a funny mood right now. but the bottom line is, let's start off with the tie. to anybody who may be watching on television, this is a naval academy tie. i wore this today, john, to honor you and to annoy you all at the same time. he would constantly tell me, lindsey, i wish you were in my naval academy class. i said, well, that's very nice, john. you know why, lindsey? i said no, john. if you'd been in my class, i would have been sixth from the bottom, not fifth. thank you very much, john. humiliation and affection were constant companions. the more he humiliated you, the more he liked you. in that regard i was well served . to my colleagues, thank you again so much for what you have done. the only way i know to put this in words that maybe john can relate to is that after a military operation is over, after a mission is complete, the pilots come back and debrief. if there's a military operation, they do an after-action report. i thought to myself, what would it say? what would the after-action report for john mccain say? and the purpose of these reports is for lessons learned so that others will benefit and make sure that we'll remember, remember the things that went well and the things that did not so we'll be better off as a unit, as a nation. the title of the operation was pretty easy. you can say a lot of things about me but clever is not one of them. operation maverick. it began in the fall of 1954, the year before i was born at the naval academy and it ended the 25th of august, 2018. and what can we learn? the source of the report is me, his political wingmen, code name little jerk. you've all got your names and you've earned them like i did, who was lucky enough to walk in his shadow and to witness history up close, to be in the presence of a giant at a time everything around us was so small. what did i learn? that a few dumb jokes told over and over actually become funny and can take you a long way in politics, marco. i'm going to give them to you because john liked you. lindsey, how hot is it in arizona? john, i don't know. it is so hot that the trees chase the dogs. isn't that funny, john? what's unique about arizona? i said i don't know, john. i imagine a lot of things. barry goldwater ran for president lost. i ran for president and lost. lindsey, it's the only place in the nation where mothers tell their children you can never grow up to be president. jeff, remember that. maybe you can break the string. lindsey, aren't you a lawyer? yeah, i am, john. he says, ug know the difference it a lawyer and a catfish? no, i don't. one is a bottom dwelling scum sucking creature and the other is a fish. no wonder we did so poorly with lawyers, john. you know why i didn't join the marines this no, my parents were married. i'm going to miss these dumb jokes. what else did i learn? i learned how to fight a lot. everything and everybody. i learned how to forgive and i saw how to heal. on the fighting side, i learned that the captured warrior who was tortured became the statesman who forgave and healed, a relationship between his former adversary and our nation. i went to the hanoi hilton, one of the highlights of my life with john. it's now a museum and we're the bad guys because they get the right how the museum reads. i remember being in front of his cell and you can see the wheels turning and the memories coming back. and as we walked forward surrounded by a bunch of handlers and john mccain was elvis in vietnam. it was the most amazing thing in the world how people adored him in vietnam. i saw a bunch of photos on the wall of the prisoners playing volleyball, sifting in the sun with -- sitting in the sun with sunglasses on. i said john, must not have been that bad after all and he said with a smile, i don't remember it this way, which allowed us to get out of vietnam. i remember him embracing a war that nobody wanted to talk about because he understood what it would cost to lose it. i remember him supporting the surge when everybody was willing to get out of iraq because they were so tired of it and so no way forward. i remember the fighter. i remember the 2008 campaign when in 2007, john mccain was fifth in a four-person race, written off as politically dead, no money, the straight talk express had no wheels. out of sheer determination after a visit to iraq where general petraeus allowed him to talk in july to 600 people are going to reenlist in a war they did not have to continue to fight and about equal number were becoming citizens because they were fighting for their country and had expedited citizenship, two empty chairs in the front were boots and john asked, what is that all about? the two didn't make it to the ceremony but were given their citizenship that day. i remember about 2,000 soldiers wanting a photo and every one of them got it. i remember being so hot i couldn't breathe but we stayed anyway. i remember coming back and getting the nomination only to lose. i remember that night very well. he had wanted to be president. he was prepared to be president. but it was not his to have. and i remember above all levels the speech he gave that night. john taught us how to lose. when you go throughout the world, people remember his concession speech as much as anything else. there are so many countries where you can't afford to lose because they'll kill you. and john said that night, president obama is now my president. so he healed the nation at a time he was hurt. i learned that serving a cause greater than yourself hurts. anybody in the military can tell you the risk you take. he couldn't put his jacket on. he couldn't comb his hair because he got hurt serving a cause greater than his self. i remember how easy it is to say and how hard it is to do, how hard it is to tell your base i think you're wrong. how hard it is to solve problems that nobody else wants to talk about. i learned that failure and success are the different sides of the same coin, that john told me, i have become better from my failures because it teaches us and i've been tempted by my success and without my failures, i would never have been successful. so to those who are striving as a young person, remember john mccain. he failed a lot but he never quit. the reason we're talking about him today and the reason i'm crying is because he was successful in spite of his failures. for family and friends, the after-action report would say a relationship with maverick brought joy and difficulty. both were your constant companion. he was a difficult man. he could be tough. but the joy that you receive from being with him will sustain you for a lifetime. and i am so lucky to have been in his presence. he taught me that principle and compromise are not mutually exclusive and the foundation of a great person as well as a great nation. he taught me that immigration as hard as it is to solve, somebody's got to do it. and he said to me with ted kennedy, you're going to learn, lindsey, that the other side has to get something, too. i have learned that lesson. to my friends on the other side, as long as i'm here, i'm going to remember that you have to get something, too. he taught me that when good ignores evil, it may be convenient but it seldom works. he talked about what would happen in iraq if we left. he was right. he talked about what would happen in syria if we didn't get involved. he was right. why? because warriors are the best, i believe, at making peace, and the warrior understands the difference between a false peace and real peace. to those who accused him of wanting endless wars, you have no idea what you were talking about. he wanted sustainable peace and understood the consequences of not seeing it through. the soldiers adored him. to those who have traveled with john, you seldom had two mills in the same country. you met more people than you could remember, but you were struck by one thing. we're going to really bad places a lot. and those in the military adored this man. he taught me that boldness and practicality must be practiced in equal measure. he believes in climate change, sheldon. and so do i. but there's a practical streak about john that i think made him very successful because he told me time and time again, you have to let people catch up with you. you have to have a rhythm and a pace. there are a hundred people in this body if different walks of life. you may think you're right and over time if you are, it will be proven. but give your colleagues the time and the understanding to catch up with you. he taught me that honor and imperfection are -- are always in competition. i do not cry for a perfect man. i cry for a man who had honor and always was willing to admit to his imperfection. if you're thinking about getting in politics, the one thing i would ask you to look at when it comes to life of john mccain, that it's okay to tell people i screwed up. i got this wrong. i want to make it right. honor is, in my view, doing the right thing at your own expense. and he did that time and time again. he taught me that life without passion and love is a sad life. he had a happy life. he had ten lives. he was involved in five aviation accidents. if we sent john a bill for all the planes he crashed, he could never pay it off. he lived life to its fullest. he was often disappointed, but he was never deterred from getting back up and going at it again. love, not a word often associated with senator mccain , but it should be because if you were loved by him, you knew it. you were loved with all your faults. and i was lucky to have been loved by him. so how would i characterize operation maverick? wildly successful. it made the world a better place. it gave the nation something to talk about at a time when we can't agree on anything. not universal acceptance of the life of john mccain, but pretty damn close. the only time msnbc, cnn, and fox are saying the same thing. and the only way that happened is because those of us who have had the pleasure of being in his presence and those who covered him in your business want to tell the story. i haven't been approached since his death -- i have been approached since his death by cab drivers, waiters, cops. they said sorry for your loss. my name is graham, not mccain. but i feel like a mccain. i don't know if i have earned that honor, but i feel like it. the average man and woman in this country got john mccain. and what will it mean for the future? it means there will be generations of politicians coming along who will be influenced by him. the mccain institute is alive and well. its goal is to get young leaders throughout the developing world, expose them to democracy, teach them the art of compromise, the rule of law. and what a legacy. john will inspire courage. he will reinforce the idea nothing is inevitable as long as a few people are willing to fight for what they believe is right. it is going to be a lonely journey for me for a while. i am going to need your help, and the void to be filled by john's passing is more than i can fill. don't look to me to replace this man. look to me to remember what he was all about and try to follow in his footsteps. if you want to help me, join the march. if you want to help the country, be mor

graham: you have armed guards against those reactors and is that required by law? mr. fanning: yes. senator graham: do you have a requirement to think about natural disasters that could compromise that reactor? mr. fanning: yes. senator graham: so you have to tell the people in charge that regulate you, earthquakes, other national disasters, is that correct? mr. fanning: and a resilience plan. senator graham: is there the same required for a cyber threat? mr. fanning: through our cyber standards, we are the only industry that has cyber standards. senator graham: do they come from the government? mr. fanning: yes, through nerc. senator graham: but you are the only industry in america that has those? mr. fanning: that is right. and they are not enough. it is a great effort. we're proud of that. it is always not enough. that is one of the worries i have. senator graham: but there is not that legal requirement? the financial sector? mr. fanning: except i will say, no -- senator graham: i'm just saying -- there's all kinds of compliance. you open up a bank, there's all kinds of people looking at how you open up a bank. you want to build a telecom company, you have to get permission and do a bunch of stuff. mr. fanning: yes. sena

graham. and senator graham tweeted this upon hearing the news. america and freedom have lost one of her greatest champions and i've lost one of my dearest friends and mentor, grahami'll need time to absorb this but want cindy and entire mccain family to know they are in my prayers. i recently spoke with senator graham about his friend. >> why are people so loyal to john mccain? >> i think respect part of it is you've got to respect the way he lived his life and sacrificed for the country and loyalty breeds loyalty. he can be tough. he's a politician like the rest of us, but the one thing i always believed about john, if i needed him, he would be here. when he joins sticks to the bitter end there's no changing sides. >> the two of you are very good friends and i think one of the things that draws you to one another is humor. >> yeah, i have some, he doesn't. >> he's very funny. he's funny in the weirdest kind of ways. i'm not a big reader. he is. but i might as well be because he reads the entire book to me. >> reads aloud. >> reads aloud. what do you think about that? if i like that book, i would have bought it. but john has a very sarcastic sense of humor that t

graham, daughter of bob graham. mr. gillum will become the first african-american nominee for governor in that state's history from either party. mr. gillum will now face off in november against trump-backed republican congressman ron desanity-its, who tonight won his republican gubernatorial primary easily, by 20 points. the republican establishment believed that mr. desantis would not be their strongest candidate for the general election. democrats fully expected gwen graham was going to be their candidate on the democratic side. you can add this one to the list of very, very competitive and interesting races coming up in november. november 6th, just 70 days from right now. that does it for us tonight. see you again tomorrow. now it's time for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnell. good evening, lawrence. >> good evening, rachel. and it seems to me that the pollsters only get surprised by the strength of insurgencies. it's never a surprise that the establishment candidate, no matter what year we're talking about, turns out to be stronger than we thought. that's never the thing they miss. >> well, prognostication is often based on poll numbers and stuff, but also you look for endorsements, you look for money, you look for the professionalism of the campaign, you look for ads. if you're prognosticating in an old school fashion, you add up all this stuff that tends to be a sort of oblique measurement of establishment support. and so when establishment cand

graham potterjoins from different type of head coach. graham potter joins from the different type of head coach. graham the europa league, but managing in england‘s second tier is going to be a very different challenge. so have the swa ns different challenge. so have the swans made a risky choice? is a gamble for swansea city? i would see it as more of a long—term venture for the club, who spent seven years in the premier league only to be relegated last season. this looks like a long—term job for the man who dared wonders in sweden, raising his team from the fourth tier of swedish foot ball team from the fourth tier of swedish football to the top flight and having that remarkable run in the europa league. he has a realjob on his hands here. the big hitters are leaving swansea city, and i think there is already concerned how little activity there has been in the transfer market, so this looks like a long job for potter, and i think it could be a slow burner for swansea city. most of his playing career was with york city, a very different background to that of another man starting life as a manager in t

graham seems to be providing some cover or at least floating the possibility that we might want to prepare ourselves for a change in personnel after the midterms. >> is it because senator graham, perhaps, envisions one day, when he'd be attorney general, graham? >> secretary of defense or thinking about his next primary, when he's up for reelection in 2020. lindsey graham has been disappointing the last year and a half. during the campaign, he talked about donald trump being a kook, dangerous to the country. in the early days of the administration, he was standing up to him in the way his hero, john mccain did. now, he's flipped and enabled him. >> graham's argument is, he is the president, and i was to work with him. if i can be the bridge builder, i can. >> enable him to do terrible things like shut down the mueller investigation are different things. >> pleasure to have you both, especially at the same time. rare treat. >> thank you. >>> coming up next, it is primary day in three states today. you know where the president is taking up all the oxygen, right there, arizona. we'll talk about the three-way senate race to replace one of his most outspoken critics, and how it is seen as a sign of the changing times. imes so you have, your headp

graham? graham, wanted to ask, wonderful to have you on this morning talking about reaching a world cup final, but what were your expectations like before the turnit your expectations like before the turn it given, as mike said, so many of the team are amateur occupiers? —— tournament. looking at the pool we had, usa, india, to matt berry high—ranking sides —— amateur hockey players. we wanted to push them and challenge them. we always felt we could get a result in the first game and then momentum is massive in a tournament environment. after that usa performance, we knew we could push on and get a result against india and obviously results went our way in the pool and then that went onto the quarter—final. getting out of the pool and getting into the crossover games is of the pool and getting into the crossover games is key. but the dream got bigger and bigger as we made the quarter—final and went into the semis and that continued into the semis and that continued into the final. a dream come true and very proud of them. absolutely fantastic. graham so and to do it ranked 16 in the world is an incredible achievement and testament to the group of players i have. absolutely. congratulations and enjoy the night in dublin. graham, anna and kate. brilliant achievement. thanks, mike. tea m brilliant achievement. thanks, mike. team effort! always a team effort. i wonder who carol spoke to on the tea m wonder who carol spoke to on the team this morning to get the top spotin team this morning to get the top spot in london on the roof of broadcasting house overlooking london in the glorious sunshine. who did you talk to, carol? the lovely jess sorted the whole it is a beautiful start here and it's very warm in london. blue skies, and i know this is not everyone's cup of tea and if you're looking for significant rainfall, we could be seeing some late friday into saturday but this week's forecast is one of some rain at times. what we have today is to weather fronts. a warm weather front, the semicircle across the northern isles. the second o

graham on the floor. and obviously a very touching, personal moment. lindsey graham story of his friendship with john mccain well documented through the years. you look politically, though, at lindsey graham and john mccain, so close and such allies for years in the trump era, they went in some different directions politically here. lindsey graham a lot closer to the president, certainly, last couple of years than john mccain was. what do you make of that divergence? >> steve, first i bumped into lindsey graham when he was on the straight talk express, campaigning for john mccain during the 2000 campaign. lindsey graham and john mccain have a lot in common in terms of their style. but john mccain was one of a kind in terms of his bravery and what he was willing to do. he really was a throwback to another era. he was fighting against elements of his party in a 2000 campaign, certainly in 2008. and he was more and more at odds with his party over time. and i think he survived because of the legend that is john mccain rather than a pure political consideration. lindsey graham and the other republicans who might like to be the maverick don't really have that luxury. they are absolutely the sl

one of the most interesting dynamics is between lindsey graham and the president and lindsey graham and john mccain. lindsey graham john mccain the best friends. been best friends for years. for him to stick by the president even as his best friend is dieing, even as the president refuses to offer refu offer condolences and discontinues medical treatment and did not mention john mccain on a speech john mccain had worked on. to see the president is on a more granular level, like all things there is a russia threat that runs through this. john mccain was very involved in getting the dossier, the steel dossier to the fbi. >> saw it in the security conference for the first time. >> and very concerned the president might be subject to russian extortion. if there's even a splinter of possibility that the president of the united states may be blackmailed by russian president vladimir putin, that needs to be investigated. he was also a very vocal advocate for the russia probe. >> these residents among democrats, still holds well with democrats, was this moderate force for so much of his career. what is his absence from wa

lindsey graham, senator lindsey graham is saying, he is writing a letter to christopher wray's this weeki director, why was there a difference? would it have helped to know? >> sean: i'm not familiar what standard fbi procedure is in a criminal investigation. maybe they did not know. >> katie: i have a theory. it is pure speculation and just a theory, but before the convention, we were not hearing a lot about russia and the collusion or russian influence. but if you look at what paul manafort is up against with the jury, they have nothing to do with russians from a political perspective or being used for espionage resources, he is up against charges that have him operating on a business level and not recording taxes, and corruption in that fashion. maybe the fbi saw it as irrelevant to the campaign, because it had nothing to do with a campaign. and everything to do with paul manafort. >> harris: and it still does not, that's why the judge would not let it enter into the courtroom. it is an interesting look at how things are going on back then. because you are talking about paul manafort'

graham said. for lindsey graham to say that, that's a big deal. >> yeah, lindsey graham, john cornyn and collins among those who have expressed support in washington. thank you. >>> to the latest in the mollie tibbetts case, the suspect charged in the death of the iowa college student, made his first appearance in court. he was ordered held on $5 million bond as controversy erupts over his legal status. >> reporter: do you have anything to say for yourself? >> 24-year-old immigrant christhian rivera appearing in court. >> you have been charged with murder in the first degree. >> reporter: authorities say he is from mexico and was in the country illegally. he worked for four years at a small family-run dairy farm owned by a prominent republican family. they said they checked his documentation in a government system but learned he gave a false name. >> what we learned in the last 24 hours is our employee was not who he said he was. >> reporter: lang said he noticed no changes in his behavior and he continued to show up after mollie's disappearance. >> this guy stayed around for 35 days and nobody notice

graham's attacks, they began shortly after he played golf with donald trump. this is not lindsey graham changing his mind about jeff sessions. lindsey graham has decided to carry water for trump, for whatever reason. he wouldn't mind been in the trump cabinet. this is part of the trump assault on sessions. don't kid yourself a lot of republican senators decided their former colleague, jeff sessions shouldn't be there. mcconnell knows what is going on and it would be disastrous for him to fire sessions. that's why he stepped up. >> he has made public statements like that. >> mcconnell is deliberate and careful about how he speaks. he doesn't talk about full kofs in somebody if he doesn't feel that way. he doesn't want upheaval. we need to understand, when we look at candidates or senators like lindsey graham and others, some are going to have republican primaries coming up in 2020. in a state like south carolina, where the president is going to have a lot of loyal support among the republican base, it could be that lindsey graham is making sure he is on the right side of the republican primary electorate. how do you do that? making sure you

if we would've talked about this years ago would have been when graham, daughter of bob graham. not for this race for two years. these two candidates came from nowhere. and it's going to be a significant opponent of any socialist and it will set the tone. it is not congressional district. this is a big deal. it's going to be watched and will be a tremendous race. lou: it is pretty clear the way at desantis immediately today, the left-wing media, florida, and national organization, democrat attacking ron desantis. i mean going after him viciously. it was an extraordinary response, but basically it's a signal. he's going to run one of the nastiest, toughest campaigns we can imagine. it is scorched earth, straight from the democratic left wing playbook. >> florida has the 10 media state -- not to say you can organize. much today. it is going to be a tv battle par none with $150 million raised in the bottom line is to have every left-wing liberal putting money from bloomberg to every other -- lou: george soros. >> this is their chance. this is their liberal candidate. we've got one

on the other side, gwen graham , moreughter of bob graham of a centrist candidate, democrats wanted her the nominee and they ended up getting andrew gillum. indra gillam winning was a surprise. that sense of a contrast of far left liberal democrat, far right inservative republican probably the most important governors race in the country. florida is the most competitive of our giant mega-state. the governor who gets elected this year will be in place to oversee congressional redistricting after 2020. >> play this out for us. it's not like florida has been far to the right or part of the left it has swung both ways area >> florida is a very swingy state. up in thehows president's approval ratings. they are generally better in florida than nationally although it is still mixed at best. florida is an interesting state in terms of demographics because it is a very diverse state which would seem to suggest it would be more democratic, yet it is a haven for older white voters who move in from the northeast and the midwest and other parts of the country who are pretty conservative. hasdemocrat

graham's statement. senator graham followed it up by another statement that he still insisted that president trump not interfere in any way with the mueller investigation. my concern here, john, is given how closely attorney general sessions and president trump align on so many issues, his pressing the attorney general to resign really i think is all about the president's desire to interfere in or end the mueller investigation. >> you brought up the fact that senator graham said he would insist whoever replaces sessions promised to protect robert mueller. but do you believe that republicans, when push comes to shove, when the next nominee comes up, will insist on that? how can they insist on that short of passing a law which i know you've been pushing for but isn't going anywhere? >> well, on your point it's not going anywhere, back when we introduced it, senator tillis, senator graham, myself, senator booker, we introduced bills to protect the special counsel by making it harder for president to fire him by giving him a remedy to go to a three-judge panel and be reinstated if that was an improper hearing, we were told we'd never get a hearing. then we got a hearing. we were told we'd never get a markup. we got a markup. we were told we'd never get it out of committee. our bill got out of committee and is now on the floor. i'm convinced if majority leader mcconnell would give us a vote, it would pass by a veto-proof majority. so i just -- i am more optim

graham took the lindsey graham took the senate floor to give an emotional farewall to senator john mccain.. "to those who are striving as a young person, remember john mccain. he failed a lot but he never quit. and the reason we're talking about him today and the reason i'm crying is because he was successful in spite of his failures."he taught me that honor and imperfection are always in competition. i do not cry for a perfect man. i cry for a man who had honor and always was willing to admit to his imperfection."

graham, daughter of bob graham. not for this race for two years. these two candidates came from nowhere. and it's going to be a significant opponent of any socialist and it will set the tone. it is not congressional district. this is a big deal. it's going to be watched and will be a tremendous race. lou: it is pretty clear the way at desantis immediately today, the left-wing media, florida, and national organization, democrat attacking ron desantis. i mean going after him viciously. it was an extraordinary response, but basically it's a signal. he's going to run one of the nastiest, toughest campaigns we can imagine. it is scorched earth, straight from the democratic left wing playbook. >> florida has the 10 media state -- not to say you can organize. much today. it is going to be a tv battle par none with $150 million raised in the bottom line is to have every left-wing liberal putting money from bloomberg to every other -- lou: george soros. >> this is their chance. this is their liberal candidate. we've got one of the strongest candidates we could possibly have debunked this stuff and put them away once and for all. lou: desantis has an extraordinary story and kill them has extraordinary story as well. he has been a favorite, and a darling of the left and he's a young fellow. he is going to be attached. the left is really left in this country now. this desantis, there's been no one closer to the president running van desantis. he decided early and profoundly to stay with the president shoulder to shoulder through it all. >> if you're going to pick anybody out there i want ron to be the one in this race. he's going to carry the flag. not just for the president of the president carries his own flag. this is really intellectual battle an ideological battle. lou: when i hear a savant talking about an intellectual battle, that tells me there is going to be blood flying, scorched earth. >> no question about it, so talking about things that the democratic candidate is advocating, you know, they basically try and make ron desantis, and try to make in their races and every bad thing. lou: i wonder about that theory and that approach. i think you're exactly right. at the strategy on the part of the last to take an african-american candidate who is so attractive and then make race an issue and attack on that basis. i know in this instance they don't have much in the way of a record or an agenda or a platform for him. but this seems to me to be a real disservice to him. >> absolutely. he's a credible candidate to carry their message. as jobs before he came here was on the left-wing of the party and my senses -- it's going to be a perfect race to watch. it may not be close, but we will see. it's a close state, but a critical state. lou: and the arizona way. >> another critical race there, the senate race. obviously, sally had a great, great victory there. the president endorsed her. i have endorsed her. we are going to put all the money we can to make her a viable candidate. lou: not to on the spot, but how do you think that race is going to break? >> i think makes sally has a great record, great story to tell. another left-wing candidate congressman. arizona has changed somewhat, but it's not a democrat state in any way shape or form. i think former 22, veteran pilot. she'd be a good campaign here in official be a very strong candidate. i am betting all the money i have. lou: all right, we appreciated as always always good to have you here. it is going to be fascinating. >> these are the two big races. lou: absolutely. thank you so much. we appreciate it as always. up next, despite a central role in securing the anti-trump dossier, the fraudulent discredited dossier, the department of justice official bruce ohr hasn't been interviewed by the mueller witchhunt for even a second. not since watergate have we had this kind of a scandal in mueller wants nothing to do with it. he only wants to go forward from the fisa warrant, not back to find out it was invalid. lou: of course not, that would be inconvenient to the truth. mueller family special counsel who has been interested in finding out what is going on or deciding not to talk with bruce ohr. we'll tell you about who god is and much more. victoria tenzing joins us next. also, if you up on the so-called controversy surrounding ron desantis' remarks. really kind of a non-thing. stay with us. we ♪ as moms, we send our kids out into the world, full of hope. and we don't want something like meningitis b getting in their way. meningococcal group b disease, or meningitis b, is real. bexsero is a vaccine to help prevent meningitis b in 10-25 year olds. even if meningitis b is uncommon, that's not a chance we're willing to take. meningitis b is different from the meningitis most teens were probably vaccinated against when younger. we're getting the word out against meningitis b. our teens are getting bexsero. bexsero should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects are pain, redness or hardness at the injection site; muscle pain; fatigue; headache; nausea; and joint pain. bexsero may not protect all individuals. tell your healthcare professional if you're pregnant or if you have received any other meningitis b vaccines. ask your healthcare professional about the risks and benefits of bexsero and if vaccination with bexsero is right for your teen. moms, we can't wait. ♪ i needthat's whenvice foi remembered that my ex-ex- ex-boyfriend actually went to law school, so i called him. he didn't call me back! if your ex-ex- ex-boyfriend isn't a lawyer, call legalzoom and we'll connect you with an attorney. legalzoom. where life meets legal. sleep number 360 smart bed. it senses your movement and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. and now, all beds are on sale. it's the last chance to save 50% on the new sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed. ends labor day. but i am a simple farmer.bas! my life is here...
