kaine: this would be an hour and a half. what i learned was happiness is not that correlated with wealth. happiness is correlated with are you a giving person or not? i learned from them that happiness is spread around the human condition. i learned the power of faith to deal with and understand adversity. i was getting tired of the catholic worship i was used to, big suburban parish, 45-minute mass because you had to empty the parking lot. here, mass was 2.5 hours long and it was so vibrant and chaotic and fun. i learned how a strong spiritual life can help you deal with the challenges we all face in life. i do not think you can understand the things about your own culture until you step outside of it. you take things for granted. honduras was a military dictatorship. the jesuits were persona non grata with the military. i lived with people who prayed for the day they could vote for anything. but i was living in a country where voting turnout was low. it really made a believer in me about our system. the rule of law is a wh

kaine: it is very unique in american history. it was on the front page of "the new york times" when the school busing integration order came down and he decided, we are not fighting it and said we will embrace integration, the best way to do it was that his own family would participate. the governor's mansion is in the heart of the in richmond. if i'm going to say that school integration is a good thing, my kids should go to the neighborhood schools, which were almost completely african-american schools. education is important and kids should be able to sit down together regardless of race. that is my father-in-law and my wife's sister walking into kennedy high school on the opening day of school and it was on the front page of "the new york times." a lot of pictures of southern governors blocking the schoolhouse door trying to keep black kids from sitting next to white kids. only one picture of a southern governor escorting his daughter into school saying, integration is good. and it is not just for other people. that influence

tim kaine does seem safe.- i don't know about the castro thing. >> elizabeth warren, by the way, elizabeth warren, i think the "new york times" eviscerated her lack of -- she's not a very transparent person with the press. she runs away from the press actively. >> the administration doesn't like her. >> hillary clinton gets criticized for being inaccessible. elizabeth warren would make her look like the most accessible president since andrew jackson. >> you know, chuck, i also think that if the republicans need a way to unify, and they quite clearly do, and donald trump is struggling with it, hillary clinton is helpful in that regard to donald trump. elizabeth warren on the ticket is even more helpful because those are the two people that republicans hate the most. you put them on the ticket, the other thing i would say, where is a problem donald trump had raising money. wall street major donors. who hates elizabeth warren more than -- i mean, you talk to any wall street type and you mention a name, eye roll,

kaine: it is very unique in american history. it was on the front page of the new york times when the school busing integration order came down and he decided, we are not fighting it and said we will in -- we will embrace integration, the best way to do it was that his own family would participate. the governor's mansion is in the heart of the city enrichment. -- in richmond. if i'm going to say that school integration is a good thing, my kids should go to the neighborhood schools, which were almost completely african-american schools. education is important and kids should be able to sit down together regardless of race. that is my father-in-law and my wife's sister walking into kennedy high school on the opening day of school and it was on the front page of the new york times. a lot of southern governors -- pictures of southern governors blocking the schoolhouse door trying to keep black kids from sitting next to white kids. only one picture of a southern governor escorting his daughter into school saying, integration is good.

there's no obvious negative with tim kaine. i think he would say that the so-called boring factor which he embraced and i have had other democratic operatives say they don't see that as a downside. that might be good for hillary clinton. we don't want to get too far ahead of the process. she has several people to consider. but tim kaine certainly has a lot to offer. >> and he's irish. let me ask colleen the same question. you think he's still the favorite? chris cillizza put him at the top of the list again today. >> he has a lot working in his favor. not least of which is the fact that hillary clinton is comfortable with him. in talking with people who are close to this process, they say that at the end of the day hillary clinton is going to want to choose someone she considers a partner, someone she actually likes being around, and they have an existing relationship. she feels comfortable working with him. also, people close to clinton talk about the fact that at this point, the race could certainly shift over the coming week

. >> senator kaine? senator kane: any chance they're going to get a hold of any of libya's oil capabilities? because that's where a lot of their revenues have come from in syria and sirke. how do you assess the oil in syria an libya? >> i don't think anything libya is secure. there haven't be atenches made upon some of those oil facilities but today isil has not been able to gain control on them. we'll see if there are pocks of areas where he's been able to encroach. but there are some challenges there and there's a number of securities, militias and firms that are in that area that have prevented isil from taking it over. but we'll get you a more thorough response. >> i now i said i have a better question. my wife said i say "finally" too much. it gets people's hopes up. >> she's a smart woman. >> we haven't talked about afghanistan. what's your assessment of the security situation in afghanistan? there's a proposed drawdown of our troops which has to start some time in the early fall if it's going to a

that was an interesting way with tim kaine there.conversation that i taped earlier today with the virginia senator. tim kaine talking about veepstakes. we talked brexit we talked guns, we talked a lot of stuff. you'll have much more of that interview this sunday on "meet the press." i'll be back in a minute with the lid, and i'm going to tell you who kaine may have been targeting with his qualified comment, right after this. safety doesn't come in a box. it's not a banner that goes on a wall. it's not something you do now and then. or when it's convenient. it's using state-of-the-art simulators to better prepare for any situation. it's giving offshore teams onshore support. and it's empowering anyone to stop a job if something doesn't seem right. at bp, safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better. ♪ using 60,000 points from my chase ink card i bought all the fruit... veggies... and herbs needed to create a pop-up pick-your-own juice bar in the middle of the city, so now everyone knows... we have some of the fresh

is it a possible problem for tim kaine?ainly be on the need to study and give more consideration to list at the same time, you've got a very prominent current governor of virginia, terry mcauliffe and he is a strong add vericate for tim kaine to be moved into that position and governor mcauliffe saying he doesn't think the courts need to go and examine his predecessor the republican, bob mcdonald, any longer. so the issue of gifts is potent politically and certainly something being talked about with tim kaine. as you know, kate, there are several good choices for hillary clinton. and when i say good, those who might bring some additional qualities to the ticket or gee graphing abilities. things like that. and just from here in the senate. so you've got sharon brown of ohio. strong progressive. ohio, ohio, ohio. and elizabeth warren who made a big splash when she campaigned with hillary clinton. it is a question about how will hillary clinton make her decision, what factors will come into that wab th, that is close held insi

kaine.are going to appoint him vice president. >> a spokesperson tells "hardball" during his eight years as lieutenant governor and governor, senator kaine went beyond the requirements of virginia law, even publicly disclosing gifts of value beneath the reporting threshold. hes confident he met both the letter and spirit of virginia's ethical standards. are virginia's ethical standards good enough? >> no. >> okay. let's talk about christie. he's involved with the bridge scandal. we beat the hell out of it here. everybody on this network and everyone else beat the hell out of it. he started off by saying oh, yeah, i'm the guy that went out and put the cones out to stop the traffic. but it's a fact, they stopped traffic to make some kind of political message to somebody they didn't like or tried to squeeze some mayor in fort lee. is he still the credible candidate for vice president? >> i recently spoke to a trump aide who is urging against a christie appointment. but told me that christie's i

tim kaine was a governor. and as governor, our national guards played an unexpected but very significant role in "operation enduring freedom" and "operation iraqi freedom." but it's very hard to find a candidate who has exactly the type of experience that's necessary to be commander in chief. you learn on the job. some people are more qualified by their experience level than others. but it's very difficult to find someone who fits the exact bill. >> let me ask you about a conference call that scott brown had earlier today with reporters hitting elizabeth warren and this event echoing some of what we heard from donald trump. he accused elizabeth warren of reverse racism, saying that she has native american roots and that she essentially made that up. he went so far as to call on her to get a dna test. could this be an effective line of attack, and how do you anticipate the clinton campaign is going to respond? >> i think it's absolutely ludicro ludicrous. we'll have dna test for our presidential candidates? goo

>> i think kaine is a safe choice but not an exciting choice.is point hillary clinton has to weigh, does she want to go with someone who can help her -- one of her weaknesses is this enthusiasm gap, especially with young voters that i think someone like elizabeth warren or corey booker could help her help resolve that issue. she needs millennials to come out for her and needs them to vote for her too. and so yes, kaine is -- might be the obvious choice at the end of the day, but it's definitely not the choice that many democrats might be excited about. when you compare him to people like elizabeth warren and corey booker. >> before i run out of time, i want to go back to bernie sanders, he says he'll vote for her but he's not endorsing her. what do you make of that? >> that's disappointing and a little troubling. because this time in 2008, hillary clinton had already come out of the race and endorsed barack obama and said, i need you to work as hard for him as you did for me. and if you remember, the convention floor, she asked for a vote of acl

i think kaine. put warren on the list ian though i totally agree with susan because we know she's been vetted. i feel like if you make a top five, you've got to include the people who we know are being vetted. i think the leak that elizabeth warren was being vetted which came out a week or so ago was really designed to say, consider her liberals, we're not dismissing you out of hand. though i'm with susan, i'm very skeptical she winds up getting it. >> and when we turn to the republicans, both of you have chris christie on your list. what happened to the theory you don't want someone who would overshadow the nominee? >> you know, here's my theory, you remember when we saw with john mccain in the end he didn't want to pick somebody he didn't like, didn't want to be with? they kept encouraging him to take picks that he really didn't want and so he went with sarah palin who he didn't really know. chris christie has a high comfort level with donald trump and he's more than willing to go after hillary cl

senator tim kaine: i don't think we need it. i refuse to believe that the american public is demons traably worse so i've never been a supporter. but when i ran for office, you know, i tell you, steve, i ran to be governor. what i did i put my hand on the bible and would say i uphold the law. the law in virginia is that the death penalty can be the ultimate punishment. if it's imposed by the jury, if it's up held by a judge and if it's up held by a court. i grapple with it but i'm going take an oath to uphold the law. and remember i lived in the society where there wasn't a rule of law where i saw what it was like where the rules did whatever they wanted regardless of the law. and i knew that was a bad system. what i told virginians, i'm against the death penalty but i'll uphold the law. there were numerous people on death row when i was governor. if all of their appeals went through without them being given relief and if they applied to me for cleanse si i would look at their petition but only in the instance me thinking that t

i have $75 on tim kaine.s all the boxes, governor, senator, mayor, speaks spanish and from virginia. how you can beat that $20 on julian castro still in the mix. hispanic thing is a box checking exercise, i think but takes away from her experience. senator elizabeth warren who is campaigning with her on monday. progressive dream but i don't think she would ever be chosen. >> charles? >> tim kaine and a couple of lefties. [ laughter ] >> what are you screwing with me today? okay. i have got to say i kind of agree with you on tim kaine. >> wow. that was really. >> the fact that we all have him as a lead means it almost certainly won't happen. >> let's do the republicans. >> we need bret. bret, come back. >> i have got $20 on bob corker. he is my front runner. then 10 on newt gingrich. jeff sessions. tim scott, john thune and $10 on mike flynn, the former head of the defense intelligence agency if trump wants to go with a national security candidate. >> there is somebody out in the newsroom you haven't put money

do know tim kaine they would help mrs. clinton shore up constituency support. john: who do you think would be the best buys presidential pick for hillary clinton -- vice presidential pick for heller clinton? viceould be the best -- presidential pick for hillary clinton? >> i think tim kaine and cory booker and elizabeth warren certainly drive the party. mark: we asked about the republican brand in our poll. 32% said they had a favorable view. 62% unfavorable. his donald trump -- is donald trump helping or hurting? >> he is changing the brand. it is hurting a little bit. , i'm of therun feeling that he is bringing new people and new excitement to the republican party. it is a party that has been a little confused through the primary process. ande is a clarity there whether the establishment likes the clarity or not, we will see how it turns out. we played donald trump saying today, basically, i may have to go it alone here. republican leaders should just be quiet. is that a sensible strategy or way of looking at the world? >> it probably would not have been my a

although it's a criticism kaine seems to embrace. boring is the fastest growing demographic in this country. >> maybe a kaine/cher ticket in our future. >>> #myfirsttweet from bob dole. the 92-year young former senator joining the site this afternoon saying i'm proof that it's never too late to join twitter. >>> the where, the east room. today president obama hosting the wnba champion minnesota lynx at the white house. the when, it's june 28th, 1969, the day the stonewall riots gave rise to lgbt civil rights movement. today the building becoming a national monument. the very first to honor lgbt americans. >>> the why, more news out of the supreme court today. justices deciding they will review the north carolina gerrymandering case this fall. they'll decide whether republican lawmakers relied too heavily on race when they redrew congressional districts. the case will likely be heard too late to impact november elections but could have an impact going forward. more "mtp daily" going forward. with usaa is awesome. homeowners insurance

tim kaine has this. my question for you, how does this flap compare to the likely political problems that come with pretty much any running mate choice? >> if this is the worst thing in tim kaine's vetting file, he will be picked. it is a reminder that everyone has this. i think if i was tim kaine, the main thing i would be concerned about is where did this story come from. i don't think politico found it on their own. so the question is, did it come from a rival democrat, did it come from a republican, was it a float by the clinton folks. it's a little concerning. i would be concerned. >> it all depends if there's any other stuff. right now, 100% i agree with you. if you compare not just bridgegate for christie but the things that we reported on that are in his history, that were problematic for him getting selected by romney that gave the romney people second and third pause, right, this is small stake stuff. it is i think -- i think there are more vetting problems with a lot of the people trump is con

also to be on the short list, hou julian castro and tim kaine of virginia.gressman becerra. he's going to join us live on "new day", at 8:00 a.m. >>> a last-gasp effort to get a gun measure through the senate seems to be dead on arrival. now democrats claim collins' bill doesn't go fast enough. others blast it from the other side saying it's unconstitutional. >> reporter: susan collins trying to push for a bipartisan deal, having influential senators on her side about trying to close the so-called terror loophole. in other words, people who are on that no-fly list, preventing them from getting guns. she has lindsey graham on the right, and people on the left like tim kaine of virginia. but what susan collins does not have are numbers. because republicans have a lot of concerns over this bill, particularly leadership, republican leaders do not believe it goes far enough in entrusting constitutional concerns, due process concerns. and democratic leaders are worried it does not have teeth, that it would not do enough to crackdown on suspected terrorists. then y

>> tim kaine is out of central casting. he checks more of the so-called conventional wisdom boxes than any other. he has been a governor, executive, swing state. and he is considered a very loyal party member. not someone that makes a lot of gaffes on television. a very safe pick. but that is the con with him. the idea that he won't excite any new constituency group. that he won't target and fire up some specific group that clinton wants fired up. so i think it comes down is what is more important to her, a spark for november, if that is what she needs, she will not pick tim kaine, or if she is looking for a partner to govern with if is that is the main criteria, he could be the man that we see getting that nomination. >> we will see, we appreciate your insight, chuck. >> looking forward to the show as well. chuck will sit down with paul manafort. it all comes this morning at nbc 10. >> i'm keith jones. coming up this morning, bob casey. we will ask him about the gun control fight on capitol hill and much more. following "m

kaine: it's been there and it's in for a reason and is important. let me ask you about the first amendment. the first amendment says there is a right to free speech and a right to freedom of the press. now, does that mean constitutionally that i can go out and slander and libel anyone and there's no consequence for that? mr. murphy: the first amendment is as important as the second amendment but comes with conditions and responsibilities. one of them is you can't slander your fellow citizens. you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater. there are important limitations since the beginning of the republic built around the first amendment which frankly is a sacred as any of the individual rights that are encompassed in the bill of rights. mr. kaine: there's another part of the first amendment that says you have a right to assemble. now, my understanding and you're a lawyer so you tell me if i'm wrong about the right to assemble is you've got a right to assemble but a government can condition that. it can say you've got to get a permit or you can assembl

>> i think tim kaine is a smart pick. he also knows how to speak spanish.s so he will bring -- he's not a hispanic, but he will bring appeal towards hispanics. >> ten seconds, kayleigh. who would you pick? >> i would pick castro. she has a millennial problem. she needs some youth and vitality and that would do that. >> great job. thank you so much. >>> coming up later, meet the libertarian presidential candidate, presidential ticket at the cnn libertarian town hall with gary johnson and william weld live wednesday night at 9:00 p.m. >>> three plane tickets to california for a trip in july. that's what law enforcement now says the orlando terrorist purchased the day before he carried out the worst terror attack since 9/11. the big hilton world sale is on honors members save up to 25% on brands like hampton, doubletree, hilton garden inn, and waldorf astoria so stop clicking around. book direct at hilton.com now that's satisfaction. >>> coming up later, meet the purchased the day before he i sleep extremely hot. i wake up and i just feel like sticky. have the

tim kaine who has been the subject of beltway conversation.y could he shore up the man vote for hillary clinton, he could also shore up another important swing state, virginia. he's a united states senator from a state with a democratic governor, meaning a clinton ally would actually pick his replacement which could help democrats not only win over some men in november but also hold on to that or grab that senate majority. now let's listen to perhaps the other side of tim kaine. he's not somebody who excites the base. when he was governor of virginia, he governed as a somewhat moderate to conservative personally pro-life and a lot of things that might not excite the liberal part of the democratic base. however, this guy is the subject of a lot of beltway speculation. he's a beltway favorite. let's listen to him talking about whether he has been vetted for hillary clinton's veep. >> have you been contacted by the campaign about it? >> i am playing one role and only one role for the clinton campaign right now, trying to help her win virginia. if

you go center, you go kaine, you go left, you go share rod brown or elizabeth warren. >> republicans,teve? >> hedging my bets, the only person i've got more than $10 on is bob corker. $10 on newt, on sessions, jim scott, john thune, tom cotton and then it's dennis rodman. an out of the box pick, trump is reality tv star. experienced diplomat. >> this is why you lose in vegas. this is why you lose. >> amy? >> i'm not much different from yours. i split it up to with, with bob corker getting most of my votes. i also put oklahoma governor mary fallon in there. i think a woman would be a good pick for him and leaving the rest of it in the player to be determined later. i think it's going to be somebody who is not on this list. >> tuck centre. >> i believe it will be chris christie. i put $80 on chris christie. >> $80? >> decisive. >> i think it's true, i would bet $80 on it, i think herman cain is a disant second. >> i've got newt gingrich up there. christie up there, scott brown, john thune, jeff sessions. >> okay. steve, you want five on omarosa? >> no. >> i'll take your $80 bet on chris

you have to wonder what tim kaine thought of this. he cannot light up a room like this, no doubt about it. but he certainly could be a safer pick. >> jeff zeleny covering this democratic rally in cincinnati. it's been such a jam-packed, news-filled morning. let's recap one of the other big events from just a few minutes ago, and that is the u.s. supreme court striking down in a 5-3 ruling, striking down texas laws which would have impoelgsed further restrictions on abortion clinics and, jeff toobin and jonathan turley are with me in studio as well. jeff, this really shows how much justice anthony kennedy is really the story of the supreme court in the session. >> anthony kennedy has been the swing justice, the pivot on which this court turns for two decades. it is really a remarkable story. we saw it earlier this week, last week, when he wrote the opinion upholding texas, the university of texas' affirmative action program. and here in an even bigger landmark decision, the most important abortion rights case, abortion rights victory s

you go center, you go kaine, you go left, you go share rod brown or elizabeth warren. >> republicans,ng my bets, the only person i've got more than $10 on is bob corker. $10 on newt, on sessions, jim scott, john thune, tom cotton and then it's dennis rodman. an out of the box pick, trump is reality tv star. experienced diplomat. >> this is why you lose in vegas. this is why you lose. >> amy? >> i'm not much different from yours. i split it up to with, with bob corker getting most of my votes. i also put oklahoma governor mary fallon in there. i think a woman would be a good pick for him and leaving the rest of it in the player to be determined later. i think it's going to be somebody who is not on this list. >> tuck centre. >> i believe it will be chris christie. i put $80 on chris christie. >> $80? >> decisive. >> i think it's true, i would bet $80 on it, i think herman cain is a disant second. >> i've got newt gingrich up there. christie up there, scott brown, john thune, jeff sessions. >> okay. steve, you want five on omarosa? >> no. >> i'll take your $80 bet on chris christie. >>

that's why i think tim kaine is a great selection because she's comfortable with him.look at what's going to happen in pennsylvania, you may see scott brown, former senator from massachusetts who really would bring in kind of that perfect casting for donald trump. he will be able to take that pickup truck, go down and really i think get a lot of conservative democrats support. he was also the first senator, former or current, to endorse donald trump before the new hampshire primary. i think that loyalty will matter to donald trump. >> alex, can i make a suggestion for the republicans? >> sure. >> ted cruz. >> are you taking it seriously, susan? >> i don't see how it happening. i see why he's saying that. >> i think the governor was being his usual charming sell. ed and susan, thank you. >> thank you. >> outrage looets leads to action. what's in today's newspaper leads to volume in calls for the judge's removal. that's next. so i need nutrition... that won't weigh me down. for the nutrition you want without the calories you don't... try boost® 100 calories. each delicio

>> outside of lis lelizabeth wa shrod brown and tim kaine. brown sin the battleground state of ohio and you know, sthey hav a good relationship. he's one of the best known progressives. they could choose him. i think the only drawback with senator brown is because he is from the state of ohio they are afraid of losing that state if they give up the senate seat. the other name tim kaine that comes to mind he is a good choice because he has executive experience as governor but also has foreign policy experience as senator. i think the only drawback now is he is the safe pick for them, that he's more of an establishment candidate. that might not be good in this election when it might have in the past. >> phillip, in one of your latest articles i'm looking at you write about trump's poll numbers slipping. that's each before the democrats started uniting. what did you find and what does this foretell for trump? >> this is based on the fox news poll, you had a graphic earlier. what happened is over the last month donald trump's support dropped 6 po

tim kaine rising to the top of hillary clinton's list for the number two spot on her ticket, at least to a report in politico today. politico saying kaine is viewed as a safe and attractive option by the clinton team, at least for right now. of course, we will probably get a lot of reports like this over the next few weeks but why would he be suddenly getting so much attention? it has to do with the state he represents. you can see here, virginia, 13 electoral votes. obviously not an insignificant number there. but this is -- this has become, really, the premier swing sate state in the country. four years ago, barack obama won nationally by four points, a little bit closer in virginia, a three-point victory for obama over romney. this is one of those states, there aren't too many left on the map. they call it a swing state. the other thing for democrats is this is a swing state that only recently became a swing state. if you go back '92, '96, 2000, 2004, you can see republicans were winning virginia. they basically were winning this thing from the 1960s on. but barack obama broke thro

chris christie has bridge gate, and tim kaine has this.ow is this compared to the likely political problems that come with any running mate choice? if this is the worst thing in tim kaine's vetting file -- if i were him, i would be concerned about, where did this story come from? i don't think "politico" found it on their own. was it from a rival democrat, a republican? i would be concerned. john: i 100% agree with you. not just bridge gate for christie, but other things in his history were problematic for him to be selected by the romney people. i think there are more vetting problems with the people trump is considering than the people clinton is considering. but the knives are out on both sides. republicans are going to try to take out everybody on clinton's shortlist. surprise, theyit do have an explanation for a lot of this stuff. it shows you in this populist age, it is a problem. a few years ago this would not have been a problem, but now it does not look great. we have debated which donald trump poll numbers one should pay attentio

and of course terry mcauliffe is a governor, so if tim kaine were to leave the senate, he would likely why that is so important, because even in a state like massachusetts, if governor charlie baker, a republican, were to choose a republican to replace elizabeth warren, even for a short term, why is that so critical? because the first 100 days of a hillary clinton administration would be critical for her to accomplish as much as possible. and that is 100 days that you don't want to see from the democrats' point of view a republican in a blue state when the margin would be so close anyway. so it's so important to look at where is a potential running mate from and what would the implications of them being out of their current job be. that's a part of the calculations. >> a lot of calculations taking place right now. kellry oy o'donnell, mark murra thanks so much. again, rachel maddow tonight at 9:00 that is when elizabeth warren will officially endorse hillary clinton. >>> josh lipton with the cnbc market wrap. >> u.s. stocks closed lower nurse. that amid a pull back in oil prices. dow f

and tim kaine is obviously qualified. he's a governor. he's been a governor. he's been -- he's a senator. he's run the dnc. he's been vetted. there are other people, too. sharon brown, elizabeth warren, secretary castro. one thing with tim kaine though that is a benefit for him is that if he were selected, he would be -- the person who would replace him would be a democratic governor. in ohio, for example, that is the governor there is a republican. they would replace it with a republican senator. so when you're looking at the balance of power in the senate, you know, ideally harry reid is going to wouldn't someone who is selected that will be appointed by a democratic governor. >> yeah, no doubt politics is always a factor in making the zig decisions. rich, for the trump campaign some of the top choices and names bounced around are senator thune, rick scott, bob corker and, of course in, new jersey, governor chris christie. who does trump choose and what might his announcement look like in terms who have he's going after? >> he said earlier on in the campaign

others is corey booker and virginia tim kain. and housing sharon brown and julianne castro of texas. noticeably absent is bernie sanders. he is not vetted for v, and he had a nice meeting with clinton, but listen to what he said two days later. >> election days come and g. political and social revolutions never end. that's what the campaign has been be over the past year. and what the political revolution is about and why the political revolution must continue in the future. >> reporter: bernie sanders is saying he will stay in the race all the way to the convention. >> tell us about clinton's big news off of the campaign trail. >> this is happy news. chelsea gave birth to a baby boy, named aiden. we are all over the move as chelsea and mark welcome charlotte's brother to the world. trump's daughter ivanka gave birth to a baby boy. this is a busy year for babies on the campaign trail. >> thank you. >>> on a somer note, tonight is one week since the night club terrorist attack that left 49 people dead. they are questioning a man w

on the other side of the aisle, senator tim kaine, who governor of the commonwealth during the virginia tech shooting during 2007, trying to pass a law mandating comprehensive background checks for all weapons purchases, but that measure stalled in the state house. nine years later, he is hopeful that yesterday's 15-hour filibuster captured the attention of senate republicans. the goal -- to pass a twofold federal law that would ban from purchasing weapons in the u.s. and require universal background checks on all potential gun owners. senator kaine telling us that proposed legislation will go through a vote next week. >> americans overwhelmingly support these rules, and gun owners -- and i'm a gun owner -- support these rules. even national rifle association members support these changes. it's just that the organization leadership is out of touch with their members, out of touch with voters, and they oppose it, but i hope we may get over the hump this week, and i give credit to my colleague, chris murphy, and all my colleagues who stone on the floor last night for 15 hours to make sure

. >> >> federal highway administration, mayor bowser, tim kaine, senator from virginia and mark warnerent under the bridge this past week and they said the federal government has $250 million to fix the memorial bridge. 68,000 vehicles every day cross that bridge. and if it's not done, and it's owned by the park service, if nothing is done or too little is done, they will have to close it all together and that would be a catastrophic nightmare for traffic in this region. >> there are already no buses using it. >> last year, anything over 10,000 pounds can't go on this bridge. it happens to be my favorite bridge in the city, but it's not safe for major traffic. >> we talk about from a government perspective about what it will cost and how lawmakers are saying we need do this. i use that bridge. high barber shop is in alexandria. i use the bridge it on go from here to there. and when they closed the two outside lines for a couple months, you saw more and more cars trying to dodge each other in the middle of the day even. it was a huge inconvenience and i think it will be a real problem f

i had senator tim kaine on. i did the interview earlier today.hile he doesn't talk about it directly, he doesn't pretend it's not out there. we talk about his preparation to be president. his world view on syria, on brexit. i do it almost as a job interview of sorts. >> interesting. >> for sunday. i think folks will enjoy it. >> thank you, chuck. >> there is a lot of nuance in says about the vp speculation on "meet the press" this sunday at 10:30: in the morning. >>> a mother delivering a powerful message to her son's killer in court. >>> parents are worried about their student it's our new intern, bart's first week here at td bank, he's a robot from one of those other banks. we're training him to bank human. i am banking assistance & registration technology. wait, wait, wait. but you can call me, banking assistance & registration technology. hi amy. thank you. thank you. that is not protocol manager jenna. that's ok bart, it is here. at td bank we do things differently, like having the longest hours of any bank. do
