lindsay graham saying the obvious here, and i don't know if they have the votes, but he said i wouldplaud the process where they have to vote. john kennedy of louisiana, a republican saying if they decide to do an inquiry like this, that will get them, in his words, a little more cooperation in terms of getting the facts and i will be supportive. there are members of the senate not saying this is full-throatedly wanting the house to do, but at the end of the day it comes back to the obvious, you can't get the facts without doing the vote and i don't know if they have the votes to do that, so this could be a lip service moment. and we are watching differences play out from the house and senate, and so far from rank and file members, we are seeing tepid support of an inquiry here. >> thank you all so much for being with us this morning. >>> up next, we are just a few moments away from the information on the inmate that escaped prison, who is now armed and dangerous. you are watching "josÉ diaz-balart reports" on msnbc. can't stop adding stuff to your cart? get the bank of america custo

of alarm among republicans and democrats alike and speaking to one of them just now, senator lindsay graham has been an ally of mitch mcconnell for some time and he indicated he is concerned about senator mcconnell's health and he supported him and continued to stay on the job as long as he was able to do so. listen. >> wait, any concern about mcconnell's recent freeze-ups? >> i saw him on the floor. yes, i'm concerned about itch in. he's my friend, and he's my colleague and he's my leader and i will continue to support him. the medical report from the house physician was positive, so i am behind senator mcconnell continuing to do his job and we'll see where hopefully medically this gets fixed. >> do you think he should be more transparent? >> i don't know what more he can do? he had the doctor released. >> he never explained why he froze up. >> well, he went to the doctor. i don't know what i do. >> so there are still questions here in capitol hill among even some of the gop senators who will be listening to senator mcconnell and what exactly what happened there and we did see that the doc

mccain's former colleagues were also in town, democrat elizabeth warren, richard blumenthal and lindsay grahamon much, together, though, they're some of the staunchest supporters of u.s. funding for ukraine's resistance. >> they're on track to break the russian army and the only way they could possibly lose is if we pull the plug on them. >> the wreckage of russia's war machine was on display for ukraine's independence day celebrations, even as almost a fifth of the country remains under occupation. >> people ask me, is it worth it? here's what we've gotten for our investment. we haven't lost one soldier. we reduced the combat power of the russian army by 50%. not one of us has died in that endeavor. this is a great deal for america. >> you have previously said it is the best money we've ever spent, since ship helped churchill stand up to the nazis. >> we have to have confidence that the dollars we're spending are actually being spent in defense of the nation. all of that is important, but that's why we are here. >> the senators and other u.s. officials have told us there have been no substant

>> lindsay graham has held his seat in the palmetto state since 2003. he was once a close ally of john mccain and willing to cut deals on issues like immigration, but he's stuck closely to donald trump and nikki haley and graham remains consistent on spending big on defense and ukraine. i tracked him down in the hallway to ask him about the potential challenge. >> i talked to ralph norman. he told me he's considering challenging you in 2026 and criticized you as basically a liberal. >> i'm worried about the 2024 election. keep the house, pick up the senate and win the white house. >> the members of congress, it's never too early to be thinking about the next election. that's it for "inside politics sunday." thank you for spending part of your morning with us. i'm thrilled to be your new host for "inside politics sunday" where i plan to bring my sources, interviewing u.s. leaders during the week and up next, jake tapper and dana bash. dana's guest includes secretary of state pete buttigieg. thank you for sharing your sunday morning with us. see you next

attorney david weiss told senator lindsay graham, quote, i had discussions with departmental officialsarding under 20usc section 515 which would allow me to work in the district outside of my own without the partnership of the local u.s. attorney, end quote. with whom did mr. weiss have those discussions? >> i'm not going to get into the internal deliberations of the department. >> oh, but you must, we have oversight in the department. >> it's appropriate for mr. weiss to have conversations with the department. i made clear that if he wanted to bring a case into the jurisdiction he would be able to do that. the way you do that is you have to get an order called a 515 order and he and his letters made clear he understood he would be able to do that. >> can you tell us about any briefings or discussions that you personally have had with mr. weiss regarding any and all federal investigations of hunter biden? >> i will say again, i promised the senate that i would not interfere with mr. weiss -- >> i'm just -- under oath today your testimony is you have not had any discussions with mr. wei

i know mark meadows, and i have for a while, and i have known donald trump for a while, and lindsay grahamthat i would have never guessed would have blindly fallen into line behind a guy that puts himself above the country. there have been a lot of great surprises, too. i have had friends that i thought would be the first ones to blindly follow but pushed back, and i am curious when you made this decision, you have made pleasant surprised where people have remained friends and defenders of you? >> yeah, and the trump -- post trump era part of my life, and this is going to be sounding hokey, and -- i have lived in isolation a little bit, and part because of the security issues, and there are good people, and people that genuinely care about public service and as terrible january 6th was, i still have hope that we can come back from this, and i have hope that there are good leaders, but we have to be able to elect the leaders and be careful of power being in the wrong hands. >> i thought like you, one of the blessings that i have gotten out of a lot of things, and over the past five or six,

the united states wanted to do that, the military wanted to do that, lindsay garin -- lindsey grahamanted to do that, and warmongering they wanted to do that. i think at the beginning they should pursue peace and not antagonize the world like we always do. also, you have the immigrants this morning they were showing that on fox news. fox news just went blank and it stopped. they have an illegal lady on their talking and she was talking about how terrible the border crisis is at somebody i guess it is a conspiracy, i believe in all those things now. of seen so many things but they shut fox news down this morning because they had a hispanic lady on their talking about how terrible the border crisis is and how many are coming across. her husband used to be, probably still is a border agent. it is amazing. and also another thing i hear a lot of black people calling in i guess and you can distinguish between the races in the way they talk as far as the accent they have but i don't -- where to these people get their information? just like me -- [indiscernible] host: ok we are getting off t

you -- lindsey graham has not spoken to biden since he became president and joe and lindsay traveled over the world. they have been busy for their studies for 20 years. the white house keeps them in the basement. because he is not up to talking with us and i got to say, it is disconcerting, you know, sean, it reminds me, i saw a bumper sticker this summer. the bumper sticker said, joe biden is not an idiot. joe biden. has dementia. the people who voted for him are the idiots. there's a lot of truth to that and look, and it is one thing if you did it the first time. if you did it the first time, with the campaign was, we're going to go back to the east are used to a kinder gentler world where things will be fine and some people found that attractive. well at this point, you have seen the train back. i can't tell you how many voters i have talked to, how many i have heard from who say, wow, i thought i didn't like where things were but they are so much worse now. people who voted for joe biden who are regretting it as they are seeing how their life is war and i think that is one of the

considering running against senator lindsey graham, that you have not made a decision yet, but why do you believe he could be vulnerable in play 26? rep. norman: i like lindsay, but you get two different lindsays. in a six-year term, the first four years he votes for mitt romney, votes to spend this country into oblivion. the last two years he votes conservative. lindsay has got a big warchest. an hour and politics is a long time. 2026 is a long way off. i was asked by the press what i consider it, yes i would because i am frustrated by his nonparticipation getting this country back on a firm financial footing. amna: that is south carolina congressman ralph norman, a member of the house freedom caucus, joining us tonight. good to see you. rep. norman: my pleasure. geoff: we've often talked about the enormous problem of plastics and microplastics in our oceans. one important contributor is lost or abandoned fishing gear that breaks down, often referred to as ghost gear. the issue is getting more attention. there was a recent effort to get the united nations to enforce tougher regulations as part of an international treaty. and just last week, a coalition anno
