judge kavanagh has not mistreated either of those quality. expressing support for justice rehnquist dissent in row, or the justice argued for allowing restrictions on women's reproductive rights, kavanagh agreed with the idea that if a right is not explicitly stated in the constitution, it must be rooted in the traditions and conscience of our people. he made clear, he doesn't believe a woman's right to choose is rooted in the traditions of conscious in our people. i am deeply concerned about who judge kavanagh thinks about and trusts when he imagines the traditions and conscience of our people and makes those decisions accordingly. bench,opinions from the it only heightens my concern. in one opinion, he rolled to allow the trump administration -- ruled to a lot of trump administration to block a pregnant 17-year-old who arrived alone at our border from accessing abortion until the government could place her with a foster. he felt she needed a support network around her before she was capable of making the decision, even though she had been s

senator schumer said he remains unsatisfied by judge kavanagh's answers, particularly those related to abortion rights protected under the roe v. wade decision. >> ok, good afternoon, everybody. before i begin, i have been meeting with judge kavanaugh until about 45 minutes ago. so i have not had a chance to view all the details of the plea deal and the verdict today. say this -- i understand the president is on his way to a rally. he better not talk about pardons for michael cohen or paul manafort tonight or anytime in the future. now i will tell you about my meeting with kavanaugh. i've just concluded that meeting. we met for an hour and a half and i asked for extra time and he gave it. the conversation was cordial, it was direct, but unfortunately, judge cabinet refused to answer even the most they sick questions about -- even the most basic questions about his jurors curtains and basic philosophy. let me walk through the topics we talked about. first, on women's reproductive freedom, i understand the judge told other members today that he considered roe v. wade settled law. he did

says it a decision things it i believe judge kavanagh as very springily ever used. they don't remember it in my term and now case has come to mind where he tried to overturn d.c. circuit press depth in a panel decision, and he also taken a broad view to the important of supreme court precedence, some court says only the holding is what is binding on us. some of the language explaining the hold is not binding, and judge kavanagh has several opinions and says it's not the job to pears what the supreme-parse what at the supreme course it aiding and precedent needs to be taken seriously and applies it. >> please join me in thanking our panel.

kavanagh, a relcoiable ervative. both sides are now out with spending aot of money on tv spots, otherwise either trying to support this nmination or knock it down we've got two ick examples. and by the way, the o poants are being outspent 7-t here are two quick examples of what both sides are saying about btt kavanagh within the national is about to consider brett kavanagh to be the next supreme court justice. kavanagh refused to uphold key patient protections in the pasa. if he joins the court he could vote to end these protections for good. s tellator manchin to keep nighting for people are preexisting conditionte no on brett kavanagh. >> why won't joe donnelly upmmit torting kavanagh, is he more interested in siding with chuck schumer and elizabeth waen than hassiers? has he forgotten who he represents? tell joe donnelly his vote on kavanagh is something you won't forget. >> so eliana, the supporters ofu mr. kavanaghe kavanagh are saying especially to these democrats in red states 've got to do this speaking of ar

i think there's some crossover there, i want a loyal republican that will support kavanagh. >> kavanagh it up, i just want to note, we don't have the records from his entire time. by the time the hearing happens on september 4th, we won't have a fraction of the records. so, how can we effectively evaluate him? >> how can any senator announce their vote on kavanagh before they look at everything. oh, wait, every democrat announced their no already. >> i have to separate you two. i just have to go. but, listen, i want to put this up. after everything kelly ward has done, tweeting out just two days after the passing of mccain, she tweeted out political correctness is like a cancer. >> terrible. she is in the same camp as aiken, o'donnell, and the rest of the trash candidates. if we nominate her, the party will be out of business. >>> when we come back, john mccain's final words to america, next. has no annual fees. really? yeah. we just don't believe in them. oh nice. you would not believe how long i've been rehearsing that. no annual fee on any card. only from discover. alright guys let's

people who are asking for the documents oppose judge kavanagh. some of them had a fill in the blank opposition. take a look at these comments. these are the people who are most vocal about asking for documents. i am glad the chairman grassley took that step to provide this release. with that and i will turn it over to chair grassley. senator grassley: i guess there is nothing that demonstrates that a picture is worth a thousand words, then what you see here. obviously, our committee's responsibility is to evaluate judge kavanaugh's nomination and his record. as we do with every supreme court nominee, we were not doing anything less. as you to have a fair can see, demonstrated by the material that will be available for the supreme court nominee, it is probably the deepest dive we have had into the background of a supreme court justice, at least from the quantity of the material available of any previous supreme court nominee. alreadya million pages are in the process of being made available. five times more receives, a single nominee, and one of m

answer is the short no, i think kavanagh will be confirmed. host: i know we hate predictions, but do you have any idea of who will be appointed to senator mccain's seat? i know it is early. guest: cindy mccain, the is the namedow, most often mentioned. sources in the grand canyon thee say will get appointment in the end. she will fill out her husband's term until 2020 and then would likely not run again. she is a respected businesswoman and community leader in arizona, contributor to many republicans, has a good relationship with governor ducey. and the governor did meet with senator mccain and mrs. mccain while the senator was still alive. another thing, if you look back at senator hubert humphrey, and before that, center he we long -- senator q we long -- huey long, they both had -- powers extended beyond their lives. john and i are friends, and john has been saying this for a long time. expect cindy mccain to be the next senator from arizona. and i have are members of her, too, writing on the straight talk express, very much on his side and

[applause] justice kavanagh, justice gorsuch.re is no worse nightmare for west virginia this november than chuck schumer running the senate, and nancy pelosi with maxine waters running the house. that is why you must vote republican. you have to get out and vote. they keep talking about a blue wave. i do not see it. we have the greatest economy we have ever had. joe manchin always voted for to keep thee voted disaster known as obamacare. i will tell you it is being chipped away. we hadn't beaten, but one man, nobody knows who i am talking about, voted no shockingly. really surprising to a lot of people, because he campaigned on repeal and replace. we really knocked it out. including the of individual mandate, the most unpopular part of obamacare. you have the privilege of paying a fortune without having to pay a fortune for really bad health care. we got rid of it. a lot of people are happy about that. that came along with the biggest tax cuts in our history. joe manchin voted no on the tax cuts are renew. signs on the i saw high

now, it is looking like the confirmation of judge kavanagh. we don't really know where she is on that. i find it hard to understand how she will go back to her constituents, or even someone like bill nelson, who has followed this pattern down in florida, how they will go back to their constituents and say, yes, i went to washington and made a difference on your behalf. there was a clear signal in 2016, for both parties, i think 2016 was distinctly not about partisanship. both parties, whether it was the insurgent candidacy of bernie sanders or that of donald trump, both parties were tired of washington as usual. al: alex, i want to ask something else about 2018. you mentioned how you obviously do not train your fire on republicans at all or anything like that. about prioritization of races, you look at arizona, mississippi where there could be republicans in the general election who are not necessarily desirable for major swaths of the republican party. mcconnell allies, people like that. are there races that america rising will not play in, s

as you know judge kavanagh.] yale college, yale law school, top, top student, top of everything. 15 years ago when he was with a lot of talented people someday he would be the supreme court judge and you know what, i think casey doesn't even want to read with him because schumer pelosi and maxine waters told him not to be. so he was a no what he will probably be a no it may know it maybe after tonight he will vote yes but i doubt it. his bosses are telling them him what to do and they always have. so they have no on kavanagh, no one corsets. in fact casey as a group they want to end the tax cuts. somehow that doesn't play well. somehow that doesn't play too well. and do you know what else, the biggest thing that only the business people in this room fully appreciate, he was a no one regulation cutting. we had regulation that made it impossible to do business in this country. highways would take 21 years to get through. it's going to be one year very shortly. very shortly. and do you know what? we want clean beau

it made sense he would leave after the confirmation hearings for supreme court nominee kavanagh. everybody was sort of on the page until this morning when donald trump makes clear my decision. the question here is does he do that just because heauz -- doesn't like a narrative that he is the decision guy? or does he do it for other reasons that accidently reveal the fact that 11 days before we found out that don mcgahn is leaving as white house council we found out he sat down with special counsel for 30 hours which donald trump may not know the extent of what they talked about. i don't know why he does things like this. i'm sure his white house doesn't know. he is his own worst enemy. this is a prime example of one of them. >> the president says that mcgahn's removal has nothing to do with the russia investigation. cnn reported that mcgahn's 0 hours of intense testimony, robert mueller unnerved when the president found out about the extent of the cooperation. he must be really concerned. >> well, that's what analysts were puzzled about. it is either complete political malpractice

trump tweeted that white house council don mcgahn is going to step down after the vote for brett kavanagh after it was revealed he testified for 30 hours. he has had a tenure at the white house. he threatened to resign last year if mr. trump continued to press for mueller's removal. >>> president trump is back on attack against attorney general jeff sessions and once again seriously considering firing him according to a new report in the "washington post." linda lopez has more on the new developments. >> reporter: while president trump has publically ramped up attacks against attorney general jeff sessions again in recent weeks. >> i put an attorney general that never took control of the justice department. >> reporter: the "washington post" reports he has been having conversations as recently as this month about firing sessions. trump still fuming about sessions recusing himself from the justice department's investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election. senate republicans who have cautioned the president to keep sessions may now be preparing for president trump's move to
