yesterday marco rubio did the same thing.tating report that has his name on it, releases a video that says, this report proves conclusively that there was no collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. and the only way to think about that is -- the only way to think about that is like, dude, you obviously don't know what -- either of these words are meaningless or you don't know what these words mean because -- >> it's crazy. >> by any definition, by any webster's definition, the word -- collusion is exactly what this report has demonstrated. so, you know, i think we are -- i think we are -- i have some investigators here. i think we're looking at this thing saying this report is -- i know, guys, good morning. >> jonathan heilemann, that is the cutest -- that just made me like you. that dog is adorable. >> i know. good morning. anyway, i think -- what this report -- look, here, that's the point. the point is that collusion has been put to political purposes. that word has been mangled. and this demonstrates it to t

it's marco rubio. here's what he said.without any hesitation that the committee found absolutely no evidence that then-candidate donald trump or his campaign cluded with the russian government to meddle in the 2016 election, unquote. senator king, do you agree with senator rubio's assessment, and if you do, then what part of paul manafort is not part of the trump campaign? >> i don't agree with that statement. i don't know whether marco rubio read the same report i did, but for an example, you touched on this. at the time that paul manafort was the campaign chair, there's a documented meeting with constantine kilimnik. now we know a russian intelligence agent, where he handed over detailed polling data, internal polling data. here's one of the problems, chuck. those of us in the political business understand when you hear the word polling data, it means more than who is up, who is down and whether hillary is ahead by two points or donald trump by five points. detailed internal polling data is a road map of the campaign. it

and paving a conservative way forward, obviously, marco rubio did not win. and nikki haley and tim scott has had to negotiate their way through the trump era. and the awkwardness of that i thought could be seen this evening when nikki haley referred to she didn't mention the word confederate when she talked about how she had removed the confederate flag from next to the state house in south carolina. she said she had removed or been part of a group removing a divisive symbol. and so anyway she wouldn't even go there in terms of acknowledging what she had taken down. and then donald trump jr. spoke and he talked about the need to keep confederate status standing. so we had her discussion, dana, of what a great move that was, and it was, she should be praised for it. >> right. >> and then donald trump jr. saying keep the confederate statues up. >> right. and i noticed when she was giving the speech that she talked about removing the confederate flag but didn't actually say that. because it would not fly with the president who is saying that he supports the con

it does no good for marco rubio to allow -- he got a little bit -- rubio got a little bit of positiveport to come out, as if this were a favor to the american people, and then he betrayed it by attacking the report of his own committee. the party has -- the president has, i think, is a binary choice because at this point, you know, any other choice really is almost inexplicable to me. this isn't a 1996 where you're picking between bill clinton and bob dole. this is a time for choosing. but also, there has to be a voice raised and a vote cast against the enablers. we're all former -- we're either current or former republicans. we have a sentimental attachment to the republican party. we all loved "old yeller," but at some point you have to take him behind the barn and put him down. >> wow, that's an analogy. let's talk about the convention because it kicks off tomorrow. it's going to be four days of what i anticipate to be ugliness and dark, grim talk. we know now that the president plans to speak to the nation every night during the convention. whit, you are the -- you are the pollste

the acting committee chair -- and i do mean acting -- marco rubio, disclosed nothing new from the report says there was no russian collusion with the trump campaign, but we've known that for quitete some time, haven't ? rino rubio did call, bless his heart, the fbi's role in spreading the. [laughter] -wing radical -- left-wing radical dem fiction and disinformationis campaign againt donald trump as deeply troubling. thee committee's top democrat wo actually is running the committee, mark warner, said the report revealed a breathtaking level of contact between trump officials and russian government operatives. that is a rich statement coming from warner, a man who had extensive contact in 2017 with a lobbyist for an actual russian oligarch who offered him access to christopher steele. in one text warner said he'd like to meet privately with atsteele in london and, quote, would rather not have a paper trail. there you go. senate republicans are clearly working against president trumpt there's no other way to explain the conduct of senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. who would have allo

something similar is happening with the race between charlie crist and marco rubio. the most enthusiast ebb voters are on the right, the people who do the marches. any, if the republican party wants a future, they're going to have to find a way to get those voters involved and active. remember, it's the same thing that happened with the democrats after the 2004 election. at first a lot of people were saying about so-called net roots, oh, they're going to hurt the party. the democratic party was able to incorporate the net roots voters while also reaching out to the middle. and then we have 2006, and we have barack obama in the white house in 2008. >> host: back to your calls. washington, d.c., alex, democratic line. morning. >> caller: good morning. how are you? >> host: fine. >> guest: i'm listening to some of the things that you're saying about sarah palin being down to earth and speaking the language of the people, and i think we shouldn't confuse speaking the language of the people between having a naive view of things. god help us if this woman ever becomes pres

and i think marco rubio recognizes that as well. >> melissa: thank you all.er months of violence and protests across the country, the trump campaign says news coverage is partly to blame. should the media have done more? >> the media is complicit in that, ignored it for 90 days, and then all of a sudden a few days ago joe biden says something about violence in our streets and its incredible. attention veterans with va loans. record low mortgage rates have just dropped to new all time lows. veterans can refinance their loans with no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. one call to newday usa can save you $3,000 every year. you could start saving, beginning with your next mortgage payment. refi now at these historic low rates. at humana, we believe your healthcare should evolve with you. and part of that evolution means choosing the right medicare plan for you. humana can help. with original medicare, you're covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you'll have to pay a deductible for each. a medicare supplement plan can

senator marco rubio saying, quote, no, i'm not concerned about mail-in voting in florida.os is reporting that many republican leaders privately admit that the president's messaging condemning mail-in voting is problematic. they recognize that absentee ballots are needed to secureness republican votes, particularly with older white voters. joining us now, john decker, fox newsradio white house correspondent and attorney. so john, lots to cover. let's jump right in. if republicans are privately saying the president's messaging condemning mail-in voting is inaccurate, they don't see a problem with mail-in voting and that the president seems to overlook the fact that absentee ballots are needed to secureness republican -- secure necessary republican votes, why does president trump continue to claim that somehow mail-in votes will corrupt the results of the election? >> the president expressed concern both on social media, on twitter and in kentuckian q & ah reporters about the likelihood he sees of fraud in the upcoming presidential election. have you to keep in mind that mail

there have been attempts by folks like marco rubio again, acting chairman of the senate intel committeedownplay the findings and say it shows no collusion between the campaign and russia, but at the same time they seem to be on the same page about the extensive nature of contacts, ties to russian intelligence, and going as far as to say paul manafort may have had something to do with hacking and leaking operation that we saw in 2016. that's a really big revelation. now, a lot of it is redacted, we couldn't actually see what their evidence was for that. but they were working hand in hand with the intel community, both sides of the aisle, to come up with one of the most comprehensive records of the coordination that went on between the campaign and russia in 2016 than i think we've seen so far. >> malcolm, here's the big question. what does this mean for the next 73 days? >> well, what it means is that, and we now see the pathways of influence, the hack and release pathways in more detail, greater detail. you know, we suspected all this. i must have said it a thousand times, natasha as we

are you worried that marco rubio, rick scott would be okay with him trying to stay in office even if he lost the election? >> joy, donald trump has a laundry list of violations of the constitution, the rule of law. he's trying to destroy our democracy and quite fair and accurately i haven't heard any senator from florida try to hold him accountable. i don't think they're saying anything out of fear of what this president will do, afraid of a tweet or whatever other foolishness that this president engages in. so i don't think they're telling him anything, and it would be absolutely disgraceful for the leaders in the senate, including the justice department, to just stand around and let this president continue to do what he's trying to do to uphold, to stop this election, to sabotage this election and the people's right to vote. and so here again, you know, i think about the house of representatives during the impeachment trial and actually quite frankly during the shenanigans that the president has been involved in over the last two years. think about where we would be were it not for

marco rubio, as you pointed out hitting on that. was on those trips with secretary kerry, president obama. those were huge congressional delegations, pat leahy, amy klobuchar. that was not the piece that they're really looking at. but when she said she was expressing condolences to the cuban people, that is more recent than the 1970s, and, as you said, that is going to be difficult in florida. the upsides. these are all to the definition of jim clyburn, these are passionate women. susan rice knows him best. has the most experience, maybe, ready on day one, but has never run for elected office. they would all be strong in debate. kamala harris, the only one as he said some weeks ago who has run a presidential campaign, not well, but run a campaign and been in debates and very tough on him. i think it is true that that is forgiven because they want to see that against donald trump and karen bass, i should point out, really does work well with republicans in california and in the congress. >> right. heather, very quickly, when jim clyb

so it's really up to senator marco rubio, the republican chairman as to whether they're going to pushack in any meaningful way, because that's the only way this decision gets modified is if there is republican pressure. congress really has no leverage here with nine weeks to go before the election trying to subpoena some of these officials as we know from past history would take too long. so the only meaningful leverage is if republicans pressure the trump administration. >> nine weeks to go before this election. all right. ken dilanian, thank you so much for spending some time with us. >> you bet. >>> the trump administration has never had much respect for the hatch act, the law that prohibits federal employees from engaging in politics inside federal buildings or while on duty. it famously did nothing last year when the office of special counsel recommended that kellyanne conway be fired for disparaging presidential candidates in her official capacity multiple times. but the level of disregard at this week's republican national convention was striking. among the most egregious poten

chair, who is richard burr, who stayed to this bipartisan agreement to get all the facts out and marco rubio is trying to continue in that stead. and we said we were going to let the american public decide how they want to read this. this is, again, volume five. we've done other reports, bipartisan on social media, on election security. and the amazing thing is, the individual that manafort dealt with, has been mentioned in a popular press as potentially being involved in some of the russian disinformation efforts going on. so i think this should be about, as americans who do we want to have decide our elections? it should be americans. we may disagree with president trump and his supporters, but it ought to be americans deciding amongst each other, not outside foreign entities trying to weigh in and tip the scales one way or the other. i think we still have a responsibility, i've got a responsibility to push the intelligence community even more to continue to educate the american public, not so much about what happened in 2016, but what happened in 2020. these other nations are still trying
