[applause] host: as you look at the north dakota senate race, what are you sensing on the ground? how much support does the president have?

everyone knows heidi, they like heidi, but sorry, heidi, you're not for us. we've seen this with kay bailey hutchinson in the primary against rick perry. the polling would show her approval was going in a straight line and her ballot was going down, down, down. >> everyone wanted to go the other way. all right, kevin mclaughlin, thank you so much. really appreciate your time tonight. >>> just ahead here on "kasie d.c." >> women in particular, by the way, i want you to get more involved. men have been getting on my nerves lately. i mean, i just -- every day i read the newspaper and i just think, brothers, what's wrong with you guys? studies showed relief and remission with dosing every 8 weeks. woman: stelara® may lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections and cancer. some serious infections require hospitalization. before treatment, get tested for tuberculosis. before or during treatment, always tell your doctor if you think you have an infection or have flu-like symptoms or sores, have had cancer, or

senator heidi heitkamp, joe manchin of west virginia, senator joe donnelly. you could talk about the role that michigan senior senator might play in all of this. hugh hewitt, help me understand the political parameters of this. we don't have a nominee yet, yet we have seen a lot of lobbying on capitol hill already. the "new york times" reporting that mitch mcconnell is backing either two candidates, raymond kethledge or thomas hardeman, suggesting they would have an easier path to confirmation. help us understand the divide in the republican party when it comes to the short list. >> it's the key question, david. you've got to make sure that senators colin and murkowski do not lead. you can't take points off the board. and they will be very hard pressed to vote against either judge kethledge or judge hardeman, i believe. on the other hand, how do you get heidi heitkamp, joe manchin and john tess extra under the most pressure, claire mccaskill? i think it is easiest to lose one of the two republicans with judge barrett, because she's so

heidi przybyla for us. good to talk to you. you on "morning joe" in a bit. >> thanks, heidi. >>> president trump was silent on a development yesterday that seemed sure to grab his attention as the man known as the financial gate keeper of the presume business empire has reportedly been ordered before a federal grand jury. the "wall street journal" reports allen weisselberg was subpoenaed by the southern district of new york in the michael cohen investigation. now, sources familiar with the probe told the journal that weisselberg is considered a witness. last year weisselberg arranged for the trump organization to pay cohen after he made $130,000 payment to stephanie clifford, also known as stormy daniels, to keep quiet about an alleged affair. now, one of the president's closest and oldest business associates, weisselberg has worked with the trump family since the 1980s and was even featured on ""the apprentice" just days before trump was inaugurated he turned over his business operations to his two grown sons under weisselberg

heidi what do we know about what these tariffs cover first of all. well rob we know this is an additional two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods and in a statement that was just released by u.s. trade representative robert light hisor he confirmed that this was trump making this decision in retaliation to what china has done in the last four days which was we tally their return for the first round of tariff that were imposed by the u.s. so essentially we are seeing this trade war intensify before our very eyes as far as this now newest round of two hundred billion dollars worth of goods they cover the gamut of what an american may find in the grocery store we're talking about produce frozen meats and fish honey butter also raw materials essential to commercial production chemicals leather paper fabric basically many anything you can imagine in fact this list is so long that it takes two hundred five pages just to print it and this is in addition to the fifty billion dollars that the u.s. has already greenlighted for tariff we thought we s

>> heidi, do we need to play it again? do you have any idea what he was saying, and what would your follow-up have been if you were interviewing him? >> play even more. not only did he confirm a meeting none of us were talking about but actually flashed out some of the details in those meetings. that apparently michael cohen may have been in donald trump's office when don junior came and said, hey, we're about to meet with the russians. so he seemed to corroborate that. >> that's not good. is it? >> he also put gates potentially in the pre-planning meeting, which would be huge, if true, since as we all know, gates, rick gates, paul manafort business partner, has been cooperating with the special counsel for several months, which means we don't have to rely just on michael cohen for this information, that rick gates may have confirmed it and mu mueller known about it a long time. bottom line, the number of conspiratorial meetings around the russians is increasing and so is the circle of trump officials, trump campaign offic

so if you're heidi heitkamp of the world, it's tbd. it all zepds on how these hearings play, how the country sees the nominee. >> can you find -- do you think -- let me go back to the senator. do you think a senator from these red states would find something strong enough to use back home against the nominee that they could justify it? >> absolutely. and i think it's right. this is all going to play out as the country learns who these nominees are. i think a lot of trump's base, right? not that he was going to take on corporate america, he was going to return power to the people. what they're going to find is all of these judges were hand-selected by the federalist society because they are going to take power away from regular people and hand them to big corporations. i think if we make that case effectively, if we tell people that these are the judges who are going to take away federal protections for you, if you have a pre-existing condition, they're going to overturn the affordable care act, all of a sudden this looks like a very di

also, heidi, maybe can give insight what exactly, what the hell happened on capitol hill? we were talking how donald trump's company, richard, had gotten 200 or 300 million dollar, a grant, i believe from the chinese government for a project or at least a grant to a project the trump organization was affiliated with and soon after we saw that there was a clearance for zte, this chinese company that -- well, that our intel community said was a risk to america's national security. the senate put language in to strip that deal out, because donald trump said he -- in a tweet he wanted to save chinese jobs. these chinese jobs, though, were, of course, detrimental to america's national security. richard, we found out that now during a conference, that actually congress stripped the zte penalty provision from a must-pass defense bill. so donald trump had congress in the dark of night slip in language that would protect this company that our intel community and our united states military said was actually a risk to america's national security. talk about that. >> well, the evidenc

. >> joe donnaly and joe manchin, heidi heitkamp under pressure to vote for the president's nominee and there are some republicans under pressure not to support a nominee who might support the overturning of roe v. wade. the simple math a lot of people have in their minds may not be applicable in this senate confirmation. thanks for that. geoff, good to see you. >>> let's talk about a name that's emerging. you heard geoff mention her as a tom contender, amy barrett, one of the leading female candidates and reportedly already met with the president. amy barrett is 46 years old, the mother of seven children, and a member of the federalist society. that's the organization that is helping the president vet candidates for the supreme court. she clerked for supreme court justice antonin scalia and taught at the university of notre dame law school. barrett serves on the seventh u.s. circuit court of appeals, a position she has held for less than one year. she will face the same senate should she be nominated to the supreme court. they've heard from her and she's been vetted by them. dianne fei

joe manchin, joe donnelly and heidi heitkamp. these are people the president has embraced and targeted. donnelly voted for amy barrett for the court of appeals. if the president picked her, it would be difficult for manchin and donnelly say it would be difficult to confirm her. if he was to pick a brett kavanaugh or if he was to pick a thomas hardiman or somebody like that, those three senators in particular would find it difficult to vote against that nominee. they are up for tough re-election battles in states that the president won handily. west virginia in particular. joe manchin has tried to make peace with the president, but the last time he was there at the green brier, he was certainly pretty tough on joe manchin. if joe manchin wants to survive politically in any confirmation hearing that happens this fall, if they can get a hearing this fall before the election, manchin will be hard-pressed to vote against the president. >> shepard: john, you broke the news 23 minutes as that the president made the decision. i know the

-49, but he would also like to get some democrats which is why they are targeting joe donnelly and heidi heitkamp. >> ed: that's right, john all over the drama. we will get back to you this hour if we have more developments. shannon bream, let's bring you in. i mentioned it's almost like the super bowl for you, john is talking about the drama and the staff in the studio was laughing at me because i was trying to pry it out of a senior white house aide right before we went to air. you've done this before. they were counting me down and i was hanging up the phone when i said, i've got to go. the senior senior aide said, iy don't know. >> shannon: i have one source who very much is somebody that would know, it's a single source but they agree with john that everything seems to be pointing us towards judge kavanaugh. but that being said and we have to wait for the president for about an hour from now. the final four are all judges and some have had a year's worth on the bench and some of them only a few months. that's one judge that was confirmed just a few months ago. while folks are worrie

the consensus that he doesn't or they isn't helens community but does he we really don't know about heidi castro thank you for that and actually let's take you back to that news briefing because that sounds nice and this is talking about the relationship between president trump and president putin that's loosening of the dialogue with russia and our administration and others are going to continue working through those things but those are all of the topics and certainly probably others that were covered on a number of issues from the annex think of crimea to election meddling the president's seemed to spend more time criticizing his predecessor barack obama for having that happen under his taliban a lot of your book do you have any sense why the president has not been more critical of putin for some of these events that the entire world say just has really gone after him about look i think the president as he has said many times before has been tougher on russia than anybody i think you can see that in all of the actions that he's taken whether it was a plant that was closed due to alumin

democrats to vote for his nominee this time that note -- that voted for , joe manchin, joe donnelly, and heidi heitkamp. >> let's ramp up -- let's wrap up talking about the election, joe crowley losing, and the victory of alexandria across your cortez -- alexandria ocasio -cortez. willo you think democrats tailor message ahead of them in terms? >> this is a story with multifaceted storylines behind it, not the least of which that mr. crowley was trying to position himself to be the next leader of the house democrats, not the least of which cortezdria ocasio- represents an ideological breakthrough for the democrats. whatthink her message or she wants people to remember as was something i will guess we will hear more and more from democrats between now and the election. not so much from her message of aggressive is a -- progressivism. she wants to eliminate ice, wants medicare to be the sole health care provider for the country, wants free public college for everyone -- those progressive ideas. i don't know whether that's when the democrats will go. but here's what they will listen to, which she

s north dakota senate candidate, kevin kramer, trying to unseat democrat heidi heitkamp. what is the koch reason for that? well, the republican candidate supported trump on both trade and immigration. at that confab i was mentioning earlier and colorado, charles koch made a big deal about "unie previously divided." what does that mean? how are these latest retaliatory efforts actually doing that? trump is the one uniting people, for all the talk of divisiveness, trump enjoys an 88% approval rating among republicans, according to "the wall street journal," nbc poll. only george w. bush in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 saw support like that. but the koch network and others talk a good game about unity, embracing change, seizing opportunities. but when the president comes along who is actually embracing a new path, something different, on behalf of the american people, let's try a new thing now, the kochs and the globalists just have their blinders on. they won't have any of it. i had to laugh when, in a future on the koch retreat, it said the following, "democrats who att

. >> joining me now, heidi przybyla. the president somehow compromised to put it lightly by something that putin has in his bag over there. what do you make of that? >> not surprised by that poll. one of the things that jumped out at me is even about a fifth of republicans think the russians have something incriminating on president trump. we have so far been unable . you played the excerpt. we have reporting that suggests that on multiple occasions when the administration was taking a hard line on russia, president trump opposed it. once he learned how many diplomats were being dispelled from the country. all of these ways which he has repeatedly demonstrated. >> to make your point today, i think i heard pompeo who does impress me said today he agreed with the chairman of the can committee, bob corker that they should be looking into tougher sanctions against russia. >> the way the president describes how he has reacted to russia, the tougher he has ever been. people may remember the u.n. ambassador. there are all these

had -- heidi heitkamp are running for reelection in states that one big for trump and not be hard for them to oppose one of the judges. it would probably take more than one republican to flip >> let's talk about the state ruling today. what do you make of the judges ruling and also i found it interesting his remarks about let's get the politics out of this. unusual for a judge to call for civility? >> it's becoming more and more usual because i think they are getting exasperated. justice kennedy in his last opinion said something like that in the travel ban case calling for everyone to get along so it's a very thorough opinion, 60 page opinion very detailed and careful explaining why most of the three bills were acceptable and only a little bit was not acceptable. undoubtedly the administration is going to appeal, it is an appealable order. they see the sanctuary cities as a political football and i'm sure they will appeal to the ninth circuit. but it's a very solid and carefully written opinion. let alone the christ for -- the cry for stability. >> the administration specifically fil
