anita mcbride, a long time friend of brett kavanaugh and a former chief of staff to first lady laura bush for being with us. president bush reaffirmed his support for brett kavanaugh even before christine blasey ford's testimony. what was that pressure like? do you think it was premature, considering that the fbi is now looking into ford and the second accuser's allegation? >> no, it doesn't surprise me one bit, if in fact president bush is making any calls or acting and speaking up as a character witness for him, because essentially this is where we are at right now. and even listening to your prior segment with senator boxer, she sees brett kavanaugh as a person who is a spoiled brat, of privilege and prejudice. and someone like george w. bush who has known him for two decades can speak differently to his character and so could all the women who have signed letters for brett from his childhood through his working years. so i don't think it's premature at all. this is now really down in the hands of 100 senators that are going to have to make a decision and listen to all sides, listen to

there was another image, a cutaway shot yesterday in the memorial service where laura bush took a piece of gum or candy from her purse and handed it to former president bush and he handed it to michelle obama. just that clip of video got re-tweeted thousands of times because people were just clinging to this open affection between this republican president and this democratic president. it really speaks to what we are missing in our current political climate. so that picture, the interaction yesterday, it certainly is something want to see more of. >> you know, as we continue to remember john mccain and the services that are ongoing at this hour, the final services, general, you were talking about just a moment ago, you call it shakesperian. some of us said, you know, this was the final message from senator john mccain yesterday, right? but told through other voices. voices that he chose. voices that not are often sitting next to each other. what do you think his final message was that he is trying to get through? many have said, as i started the segment with, work together, collaborate

. >> yeah, he's getting support from his former boss, bush 43 saying laura and i have none and respected brett kavanaugh for decades and we stand by our comments the night judge kavanaugh was nominated. he's a fine husband, friend and a man of the highest integrity and will make a suburb justice for the supreme court of the united states. contrast with what hillary clinton said on msnbc about the need for the fbi to look further into this before the judiciary committee takes it up. listen here. >> give the benefit of the doubt to the court and the country and that means have an investigation that will then lead to a hearing that will then led to a vote in appropriate. instead, they are playing the hardest of hardballs to try to pack the port with another nominee regardless of the question. >> even though the fbi could not launch a criminal investigation into what allegedly happened more than 30 years ago, it's possible they could reopen the background investigation. they would need to get a request from the requesting agency, and that agency is the white house. so far, shep, again, no in

bush gave his wife laura a loving but firm pat on the backside in public. the man knew who was boss. dana bash, that is the witness according to professor ford to this assault. >> if i'm a republican on that committee, i don't think that i would necessarily want him as the witness. why call him? because things like that are going to come up immediately and it's going to be in big question whether or not there is credibility there. i think we have to remember the big picture here and just as we're talking i got a text from a republican senator not on the committee saying sort of the mantra that we've heard over the past 48 hours, she needs to be heard. if you go back to kind of the core of why this is happening, she needs to be heard. it is, again, part of this cultural phenomenon where we are that is crashing into this incredibly important confirmation process. that even, you know, the generationally kind of ill equipped republicans on capitol hill, men, are understanding the moment. so she needs to be heard is where they are, but i do think part of the pro

oh for the days when president bush gave her wife laura a pat on the backside in public, the man knew was boss. that's the third person allegedly in the room. that's the witness who may appear next monday before the senate judiciary committee. >> and that's the person that's going to be tied to brett kavanaugh and brett kavanaugh has done everything possible to court women. he has talked about his wife, he has talked about coaching a teenage girls basketball team, he talked about how much his mother inspired him and so -- >> people are asking whether or not he was perhaps projecting that there might be issues. you look back now. >> in some ways, sure. i think he knew that his path to being the next supreme court justice went through women, two women in particular, lisa murkowski as well as susan collins and just overall women in general, but you're right, this idea that maybe he was protesting too much. >> but i think we have to assume that that is sincere. also obviously the obstacle of roe and questions about whether he would be the judge that overturns roe, but i think you have to

george w bush snuck a minute or candy from laura to michelle obama. as nichole just mentioned, current precedent donald trump did not attend the service. >> there is no political necessity to keep canada in the new deal he said if we don't make a fair deal for the u.s. after decades of abuse, canada will be out. he added congress should not interfere with these negotiations or i will simply terminate napa entirely and we will be far better off. >> canada's ripping off us, the whole world is ripping us off. >> the president spot lighted neighbors to our north. a deal was reached with mexico monday. the president told the news he will not compromise, neither will canadian prime p minister. >> he will only sign a deal if it is a good deal for canada. no deal is a good deal for canada. >> congressional approval is needed for a revised napa deal. both mexico and canada have to be included in any new agreement. talks will resume on wednesday. >>> more than two-dozen suspected gang members are off the streets of california tonight. >> we were able to identif

bush saying in a statement laura and i have known kavanaugh for decades and we stand by our comments. he's a fine husband, father and friend. senator lindsay graham saying the delay is a political move, tweeting requiring an fbi investigation before ford will appear before the committee is not about finding the truth, but delaying the process until after midterms. with me is edward lawrence, live in d.c. with the latest. reporter: president donald trump says he would have to make a decision about judge brett kavanaugh's future as a nominee if he hears credible testimony from christine ford. at the moment, ford again not testifying as of yet, still saying she would wait for an fbi investigation to be finished before she would come testify before the committee. the president would not outright say, though, if he believes ford. >> the fbi has been very involved with respect to justice kavanaugh. they know justice kavanaugh very well. they have investigated him i guess six times, and they have investigated him for this hearing. look, if she shows up and makes a credible showing, that will

bush who very obviously does not like the president of the united states saying laura and i have knownnd respected brett kavanaugh for decades. fine husband, father and friend, man of highest integrity, he will make a superb justice of the supreme court of the united states. this guy is a made man in the conservative and republican establishment. >> right. you know, he came out on the federalist society. they did a really good, thorough job looking for who was going to support the agenda that we want in place, including when you have this president that the president is above the law, which is a strange thing that kavanaugh seems to believe. no, i think what's happened here is republicans have said these are the things that matter to us. and you go right down the line. repealing roe v. wade, getting our tax cuts, doing all kinds of things that they've been waiting for for years, waiting for obama to leave and to get a chance to do these things. they're willing to pay any price at all, including giving up their own moral standards in order to make it happen. >> including what's striking
