from neutrogena®. >> schieffer: we're back with claire mccaskill.ou heard governor romney he seems to be saying keep the option of american troops going back in to iraq on the table at least. what is your take on that? >> i think the president is trying not to repeat the mistakes of the past. we've got to have a unified iraq with a competent military unless we want to tell the american people, it is our job to -- as far as the eye can see to in fact do the military of iraq. we are slowing down. the strikes have been effective in terms of slowing their progress, we're working very hard with some of the moderate sunnis who aren't because of the ideology they're with them because of political failure in iraq. i think we need to give time to this strategy to work and make sure that for the first time we have the arab neighbors who have so much at stake in this war that they are participating fully instead of the united states carrying the entire lead. >> schieffer: we talk about what he said on immigration. he said what the republicans have been saying

. >> schieffer: we just had claire mccaskill who voted against bringing harry reid back. i think we know of six votes, six senators those votes are in secret there may actually have been more. what about this idea, but she is from the left. is that going to give the right impression to the democratic party that they're moving to the left as republicans are moving to the right? >> i think she had to be taken in to account. she's a force, and she represents a force. but the other thing that's happening you had claire mccaskill from moderate part of the party she said i'm part of the moderate middle where we like to get some things done. that moderate middle just got wiped out -- at least got deluded a lot. senator pryor and haban they all lost. not as much in the middle left. the left is right in saying we deserve representation. >> i was struck how quickly she mentioned senator tester also coming in, the flat top farmer, whatever the expression was. as almost neutralize whatever signal, which wasn't effective messaging, we're still sort of the same mix of what we were. >>

. >> kirsten, what about joe manchin and claire mccaskill among others saying i don't know about thisng it alone without congress doing it first? >> well, i would say, i wouldn't read too much into that because joe manchin is generally, i mean, he's kind of bordering on a republican. he tends to, you know, he calls himself a west virginia democrat, but he's a big critic of the president. claire mccaskill is closer to the president, but she also wants to probably run for governor, i think she's got some other things going on. overall, the democrats are behind him. they've actually been pushing him to do this. and i think that to your point, i think that the president was saying all these things about how he didn't have the authority because he didn't want to do it. i don't think that -- i don't know if he ever actually believed he didn't have the authority, i think he didn't want to do it for political reasons, because it could backfire. he didn't want to do it before the elections because it could potentially backfire with voters. i think there are a lot of legal scholars who actually

thank you. >> senator mccaskill. >> thank you. is your company the only company that uses ammonium nitrate that manufactures airbags? >> senator, i don't know what kind of materials exactly our competitors using. some use similar kind of materials. >> the information we have is, four is, four or five companies make airbags and yours is the only one using ammonium nitrate. are you still using are you still using ammonium nitrate in the manufacture of your airbag q mac? >> yes, senator. >> that is worrisome to me. let me now move let me now move to chrysler and honda. i am confused. if i am, your customers are. the letter that chrysler sent on june 202014, i would like these to be made part of the record listen to this paragraph. although they have not been made the subject it is there intention to conduct a field a field action to replace the driver airbag inflator's as well as the passenger airbag inflator's. i'm guessing a lawyer wrote that. then. then i have a letter from honda that says we determined a potential defect relating

do you believe senator mccaskill, she is justifying the suspicion of the system in ferguson, missourisaying, you know what? even if the verdict comes down in a fair way, african-americans are not going to believe it. >> well, i don't think she is justifying. i think she is empathizing with a problem that's recognized across the country. and certainly it is in missouri, particularly in ferguson, missouri, actually, the state legislature several years ago passed a law that has been looking into exactly what the numbers of people being pulled over are and by race. and there is a disproportionate number of them, specifically in ferguson, even when you compare the white to black citizen ratio in the town. i don't think this is a left and a right issue. we are looking at, you know, there are conservative blacks and liberal blacks in this country. and, you know, especially for me in my generation, i'm so sort of, you know, i'm angry just that we are still having this conversation because, really? i think as monica pointed out, this is particularly about dessegregation that still exists. the

when you look at someone like claire mccaskill from a red state, an independent from maine, keeping a distance from harry reid, all that said, he will be fine and he will become minority leader. see how he operates ahead of his own senate race in 2016 in nevada. >> luke russert, thank you so much. roger simon, chief political columnist for politico. roger, this was one of the headlines on your website today. what does senator warren bring to the table for democrats that's much need and reflection of mid terms? >> oh, she brings a populous message, elizabeth warren, even though harvard professor that specialized in bankruptcy law, but bankruptcy law that made it easier for ordinary people to get out of financial trouble, and her big pitch is taking on wall street. she is the opponent of big money, big wall street. basically screwing people over, which we saw in the last few years. and that is a very powerful populous message to democrats now. >> you mentioned her crusade, if you will, against wall street, in the op-ed in politico she had last week, the headline was it is time to work o

effectively moved the nomination away from the two republicans that might very well have beaten claire mccaskill and pulled it over here where they affected the outcome of the primary. that shows how sometimes parties can be very effective in doing some interesting little jujitsu things. she has an uphill fight. i would guess cassidy has got a 70% chance of winning that runoff. but i kind of thing she is better off not having the senate on the line. then, that would have just been a party vote. i'm getting the hook. it says wrap up. anyway, on the way out the door, marty, thank you very much for sponsoring this. and thank you all for participating. you had an impressive panel. we had some really great people here all morning. thank you very much for coming to hear us.

senator claire mccaskill explains what her party needs to do next. at to map their manufacturing process with sticky notes and string, yeah, they were a little bit skeptical. what they do actually is rocket science. high tech components for aircraft and fighter jets. we're just their bankers, right? but financing from ge capital also comes with expertise from across ge. in this case, our top lean process engineers. so they showed us who does what, when, and where. then we hit them with the important question: why? why put the tools over there? do you really need those five steps? what if you can do it in two? whoo, that's an interesting question. ideas for improvement started pouring out. with a little help from us, they actually doubled their output speed. a hundred percent bump in efficiency. if you just need a loan, just call a bank. but at ge capital, we're builders. and what we know... can help you grow. to build something smarter. ♪ some come here to build something stronger. others come to build something faster... something safer... something

. >> claire mccaskill. >> people from red states, essentially. >> it speaks to a broader frustration we see right now in democrats. it's not so much that democrats don't like harry reid for nancy pelosi, but there's a lot of ambition in the next level of the democratic party and there's some people that think that there could be time for a hange, some catharsis to the conference. he knows that they want new generation ideas and they know that the base did not show up last tuesday. democrats are not excited right now. if you've ever been to an elizabeth warren event or see her speak, she is one of those figures that really lights the base on fire. they love her. she's big with donors. they're really hoping that they can capture the energy that she has and it's going to help them in 2016. but it's a big lift. gwen: we're going to circle back to what this is all going to do for 2016 and circle back to a webcast to what the new congress is actually going to look like and some of the committee chairmanships that you'll see. we talked earlier about the fact that the president has made two

that is from senator mccaskill. also more from abc news about the leadership on the democratic side. even elizabeth warren will be a liaison to the liberal groups as part of harry reid's leadership team and they learned the policy position. a number of news outlets reporting that as well. we mentioned the senate is coming back up 2:15 eastern and shortly thereafter they will hold confirmation votes on a couple of judicial nominations. they will also vote on limiting the debate on a bill passed by the house on the reauthorizing and renewing the federal program helping low income families pay for childcare. and also a note about looking ahead next week. they set up two pieces of legislation one that would overhaul the nsa and the government surveillance powers and the other is a bill offered by senator mary landrieu facing a runoff in louisiana which would authorize construction of the keystone xl pipeline. look for a final vote in the u.s. senate sometime next week. meanwhile in the house, the sender's challenger bil

we can't call them white supremacist. >> we can't tell you what claire mccaskill called me on the phoneclaire said i like joe but he's a real -- >> you were a little -- >> two syllables. >> is there an animal involved? >> yes. >> claire says it's a good thing i like him. >> it is a good thing because you were. >> we need to follow-up quickly. mike barnicle, i read this in "the post" this morning. mayor giuliani is right. 93% of murders against blacks committed by blacks. 80% of homicide against whites committed by whites. whites kill whites predominantly. blacks kill blacks predominantly. i don't know why. that's the number. michael eric dyson could have just said you ought to clean up your neighborhood. you people and that's when everybody cringed. that you people thing. >> we could sit here and talk forever about this and we won't get close to the feeling of estrangement the black person feels when the cop car comes rolling down the street. we're not going to get there. it's endemic in life. it's there. you have to deal with. the other thing that wes pointed out that's a pivotal piece

i am pleased that senator mccaskill is also a sponsor of this legislation.this will incentivize employees who uncover serious allegations or violations of law to voluntarily provide that information to the department of transportation such information leads to enforcement action. the whistleblower would be eligible to share in a portion of total penalties collected. this will protect identity and allow sharing of information where appropriate. other agencies have similar programs, including those that incentivize people to report. if there are potential whistleblowers to help identify more defects, we want them to come forward so that these problems can be identified earlier. i think we would all agree it is better to address a problem before injury or death,, rather than relying on fines imposed after the fact. i i look forward to working as we continue oversight. we will undoubtedly revisit many of these issues when we consider the president's nominee. having written president obama twice, i am pleased i am pleased the president finally announced his inten

. >> senator mccaskill is not crazy about the president taking executive action on immigration sayingf house speaker boehner doesn't like it he should bring the immigration bill to the floor for a vote. a republican colleague in the senate is leaving the door wide open for a government shutdown. senator john thune says the president is playing with fire by taking the issue of immigration into his own hands. >> i think republicans are looking at different options about how best to respond to the president's unilateral action, which many people feel is unconstitutional and unlawful action on this particular issue. shutting the government doesn't solve the problem. my concern is what happens if we end up shutting down what could be a record legislative accomplishment that is there for the taking if the president would choose cooperation instead of conflict. >> the door wide open to possible government shutdown from john thune, a guy that doesn't go around the capitol like the tasmania devil. >> that was two weeks after the election when we had peace and harmony for a couple of days. now

. >> there will be a congressional hearing tomorrow and senator clair mccaskill wants to know what they are riding. should we expect to hear a lot of i plead the fifth? >> that would be suicide. hopefully they will be honest, but from what i have seen over the last few weeks, they will do a song and dance that is sad for the automakers and the driving public. >> takata is saying that the air bags only malfunction in warm weather states, but people drive to cold locations and it is winter time. how can they think consumers will accept that argument? >> i take a different play on it. the national highway safety administration is acting strangely. it should be replaced, but let the automakers, predominantly honda with the air bags, let them do triage and get the customers in harm's way, get them to fix first. if that's in the southern united states, we should cesend the pas down first. we don't need to fix the vehicles in fargo or minnesota. eventually, yes, but do the triage and get the vehicles most impacted by this fixed first. >> we are talking about a lot of cars because it affects fo

you had mccaskill saying something along those lines. you've said you want to be part of the solution. do you still think that being part of the solution means staying in your job as the police chief? >> yes, i intend to see this thing through. i've been working with a lot of community members to work on some progressive changes that will bring the community together and to open up dialogue and getting us all talking about serious issues and actually creating solutions to problems. so, yes, i think e-- i think i can see this through and come out on the other side with the community, the region, and even the country a whole lot better. >> if there's one thing we've learned from the michael brown incident, there's a racial divide. in your community, you know the numbers, but 66% of ferguson's population is african american, there are only three black officers out of 63 according to the numbers we have. do you think the racial breakdown in ferguson needs to mirror the breakdown of officers in your police force? >> we have four african ameri

democrats from clair mccaskill to elijah cummings pointing to the department of justice's still pendingvestigation. reacting to the forced resignationful chuck hagel. a lot for the white house to deal with right now. joining us to talk about both of these stories. democratic senator bill nelson of florida. the arm armed services committee. thank you very much for being here, sir. i want to talk about this story in ferguson. as a long time democrat how has jay nixon handled it. was there a failure of leadership? >> can't speak to that. i can speak to the policy and i would first of all agree with the president in calling for calm. i would also agree with the president that we need to look beyond the immediate. what are the conditions in this country that is causing so much strife? if you look at our history, we have had a very stable country, we always had a large and a pyring middle class. when we start dividing and america becomes two americas, with the very well off and very unwell off, then we are going continue to have clashes. you have seen that in the tax policy. you have seen tha

claire mccaskill. >> similar feelings in the democratic ranks, these are illegal immigrants and need to be deported or some other action. you can't give a temporary what they're calling a temporary amnesty. the president calls it something else to these individuals. the president is saying, look, we're going to practice some prosecutorial direction here. you can't deport 11.3 million undocumented workers in the united states. so, let's pick. let's pick those who have been here for five years, whose kids are either citizens or permanent residents, and let's give them temporary approval for working in the united states. accomplish the temporary -- they're underscoring that. eventually that runs out. >> john, i understand what democrats are saying, they take exception as well to the executive ban. you how joe manchin in west virginia, and the list is growing. >> democratsdemocrats and repubo oppose this say the president doesn't have the right to do this. >> are they right? >> there's been a history on this. you have seen other president does the same thing, involving immigrants in the

. >> clair mccaskill and a member of democrats and a couple of women involved were voting against harryre change in the caucus. more beyond elizabeth warren and amy joining leadership. >> they were also critical of them having the elections so quickly. they thought there should have been more debate and had more of an opportunity to perhaps try to draft somebody to run against reed. with the leadership in charge, they move as quickly so there is very little time to rise up against them. >> let me try something out on them that reed wilson logged for chuck todd, saying that mary landrieu might be better off if the president does veto it. it would show she went up against the president. she would be better off winning the keystone. wouldn't she be better off showing she could get something done? >> absolutely. i would agree she would be better off if the president vetoed it because she tried to position herself as someone who is not 100% affiliated with obama. she is another vote for obama. in the run off, it probably helps her. all that being said, i was looking at the internals and talk

two senators from virginia, mccaskill among others, joe manchin. i was fascinated by this decision to bring elizabeth warren, the progressive hero, into the leadership mode. i want to put a quote up. from tom harkin. a liaison to liberals? i never heard of such a thing. i don't know what it is. i don't know what that all mean. what are they doing with elez birth warren here? is this sort of a -- throwing a bone to the liberal base, making up a job for her? >> i think it remains to be seen exactly how this position plays out. technically she's an adviser to the policy committee run by chuck schumer. it will be interesting to see exactly what that means. i think they sort of made up this position frankly to show that, you know, reid was listening to concerns from his caucus and trying to inject some fresh blood, fresh energy, something that did get a lot of people in his caucus energized because she does represent a very increasingly liberal senate democratic caucus. the amount of influence that she'll have on day to day strategy, on tactics, really

who did not recuse himself from the issue and the united states senator clare mccaskill who could havefor a special and impartial and fair prosecutor. we would have had a quicker residen -- resolution to this. thank you so much for your time this morning. >>> up next it's never been done before. attempting to land a spacecraft on a comet. we should get word any minute if it happened. it could thit and bounce off. what will happen? >>> president clinton shared some laughs with ellen degeneres yesterday talking about his new baby granddaughter. ellen couldn't resist asking that question. >> as i understand you want to make a big announcement about your wife today. [ laughter ] she's the happiest grandmother that i know. >> i want to say something seriously. but i don't know that's the truth. if i did i would nt tell you but i don't. . transit fares! as in the 37 billion transit fares we help collect each year. no? oh, right. you're thinking of the 1.6 million daily customer care interactions xerox handles. or the 900 million health insurance claims we process. so, it's no surprise to you

faced a little opposition, namely from claire mccaskill, joe manchin, who red state democrats who felt they were not being listened to enough but for the most part that stays the same over there. on the republican side, no surprise, mitch mcconnell will be the next majority leader. they had an election where no one had to cast a ballot. he was unanimously approved. there was no awkwardness there. and then on the house side, a few feet away from me, house speaker john boehner is expected to be re-elected. no real surprises there. so i guess the big news would be elizabeth warren ascending into the leadership in a newly created role. that's what we expect to see, joy. >> yeah. i wonder if mitch mcconnell had to go to the senate infirmary to detach the smile. i'm sure he was exceedingly joyful to get that new role. let's go to the house side and talk about keystone which apparently is coming sooner rather than later. what do you know about that? >> reporter: right now the keystone vote today in the house of representatives, the legislation is being sponsored by bill cassidy, who interesti

take a look at what missouri senator claire mccaskill had to say earlier this morning on the issue. >> the rush to judgment by some in the african-american community is, in fact, understandable because there is driving while black in our country, there are racial disparities on how people are treated. >> rush to judgment, understandable? innocent until proven guilty, really? rush to judgment is ever understandable? >> look, i'm from los angeles, california. i remember watching on television as my home town burned to the ground in 1992 during the rodney king riots. 56 people were killed. what people like obama and holder should be doing is telling people to stay calm and reminding them that in this country the way the grand jury works, they meet in secret, listen to testimony and determine whether to indict or not indict someone. rather than doing that and trying to make sure that people stay relaxed through this whole thing we've got eric holder bringing up the memory of emmett till who is a young man who was mutilated, attacked and killed by ku klux klan almost 60 years ago. that's t

because i personally lay the blame of what has happened here at the feet of claire mccaskill, at theixon, and at the feet of bob mccullough. all three of them are the top lawyers in the state. and these top lawyers made a decision that bob mccullough should not be removed from this case. the top lawyers in this case, claire mccaskill in particular, said because bob mccullough is my friend, i don't think he should be removed from this case. i see no reason for it. i know how honest he is. these three people could have gotten together on day one and made the decision that it would be impossible for any attorney, any prosecution, to be fair and impartial when prosecuting a case of this size against their own police officers. i lay the responsibility of that. >> i have a new breakdown of what was said. we don't know what the grand jurors voted. we don't know the count. we're not going to know the count, but we now know what witnesses said mattered and why. i want to go over the bullet points with you. chris, start with you. more than 50% of the witness statements said that michael brown

claire mccaskill cannot respond from an emotional standpoint. mcculluch will not respond from an emotional standpoint. i will. countless others will respond. is it right to leave michael brown dead in the middle of the street for 4 1/2 hours? bottom line, was he unarmed or not? he was unarmed with his hands in the air. that's the bottom line. >> i don't mean to interrupt. i want to ask you, number one, why do you think this particular case has become such a touchstone and what is your message to people before this announcement? what do you want to say to the protesters? again, why has this become such a touchstone and what's your message to protesters? >> my message to the protesters is just stay unified, stay unified, stay clear on what our message is. and be mindful of the concerns of the parents. i think that this case became such a touchstone because here in st. louis, missouri, we have a fluid history of institutio l institutionalized racism. white supremacy is deeply rooted here and in the way police conduct themselves. i think it finally

ago when the joint chiefs of staff were summoned to the hill to talk about sexual assault, claire mccaskill who was pushing for and senator gillibrand about session yule assault -- sexual assault. if you've been raped, doesn't matter gender, but if you've been raped, you're likelihood of developing ptsd is exactly the same as a soldier in combat. if you remember the hearing, they were summoned there, so you have these intimidating men, and the question was, can you point to anyone that you've relieved of command because of sexual assault in their unit? went to the head of the marine corps, the answer was, no. the head of the air force, the answer was no. and ultimately, there were two people who said yes, the head of the coast guard and general odierno. but in both cases they could think of one perp. there, too, you have this culture where this tragedy's happening, this horrific crime. you're beginning to the see suicides among female soldiers, mainly the victims of sexual assault. but in neither case was the person held accountable, and i agree with you, they should be. and until they are,

he had claire mccaskill begging him to run because he was the democrat's best chance of holding the seat. >> you know that, but his message has been they are disciplined. >> i always told people. as far as -- my family was a crest family. colgate commercials mean nothing to us. we bought crest. if you're in kansas, i'm not joking here, this works. if you're in kansas and your brand is republican, you may deviate from that brand one time. i don't know you deviate from it twice. i actually think voting against brownback could help roberts. >> if orman wins, think about it also that the talk about an independent running for president, it grows largely because you see the path. if it can happen in kansas. >> halperin, you're running for president? one final thing. for all of you pundits and pollsters out there saying greg orman is an independent and we don't know if he's a democrat or a republican, i'm taking bets right now on whether if he wins he's going to caucus with the republican party or democratic party. i'll give you 5 to 1 odds that he caucuses with the democratic party. you know h

you mentioned claire mccaskill saying i'm not going to lie down for the republicans.ut keystone which is quite popular with the american people, she aggrieves with republicans on that issue. it has numbers like obamacare would dream of. if you get some red state democrats on that issue you could make some progress. heather: three out of four americans support the construction of the keefe stone pipeline. should they pick and choose their battles? >> what the american people would like is some cooperation, compromise and functional government. so the question is whether or not republicans are trying to run that kind of government, and that's what you saw in if the quote from john cornyn you put up earlier. but the fear among democrats is you will see republicans play to their base, especially with newfound power they have opportunity to make a show of support for ending abortion, doing a way with consumer financial protection, easing regulations on wall street. and i think the democrats' feeling is we are going to fight tooth and nail. i think you will find a lot of re

jay nixon, claire mccaskill and bob mccullough all made the determination that he would not be removed from the case despite the fact that he was not a fair or impartial prosecutor in the process. and people know that and understand it. >> can't thank you enough for being with us this morning. always a pleasure. >> thank you. >> and our coverage is just beginning. we're going to head to the reaction from the president and attorney general. what legal options does the justice department have, if any. plus for the first time officer darren wilson in his own words. his testimony revealed in the grand jury documents overnight later this hour. but first, this moment from our live coverage late last night as a reminder of how dangerous the scene became in ferguson. >> we're hearing some more what sounds like gunfire nearby. that's gunfire. all right. just a hail of gunfire just now. yeah. we're being told to fall back. i'm going to throw to you in the studio. this is the equivalent of the sugar in one regular soda. and this is one soda a day over an average adult lifetime. but there's a bett

senator mark warner recently reelected in a very close senate race in virginia, and senators claire mccaskilland joe manchin, both likely to seek reelection. they also voted no. >> that is a political vote. you can never stop running for reelection. once you get here, you are constantly running. even though mark warner just got reelected, if he voted for reid, that would likely be used against him during the next cycle. you have to lay down that no vote. you have to say i'm not happy with the current established leadership if you're going to be in a tight race that pits a republican against a democrat, especially a republican that the party is nationalizing all these races and making everything about obama and harry reid and nancy pelosi. it would have been used against them. >> and a new face, elizabeth warren, freshman senator from massachusetts. explain what her role will be. >> she will be the envoy to the liberal groups that the senate wants to reach out to. she is constantly mentioned as a foil to hillary clinton as a presidential candidate. progressives love her. she bucks wall street,

effectively moved the nomination away from the two republicans that might very well beat claire mccaskill and pulled where theye, affected the outcome of the primary. that showings how sometimes effective ine very doing some interesting little jujitsu thing. but look, chances are -- i mean, she's got an uphill fight. and i'd probably guess cassie has got a, you know, 70% chance, of winning that runoff. but i do kind of think that she's probably better off not senate on the line, because then that would have party vote, and that's not helpful to her. okay. getting the hook. it says "wrap up." okay. out the door, much forank you very sponsoring this. and thank you all for participating. you had an impressive panel. i mean, just some really great people here all morning. you very much for coming to hear us.

effectively moved the nomination away from the two republicans that might very well have beaten claire mccaskill and pulled it over here where they affected the outcome of the primary. that shows how sometimes parties can be very effective in doing some interesting little jujitsu things. she has an uphill fight. cassidy has got a 70% chance of winning that runoff. but i kind of thing she is better off not having the senate on the line. , that would have just been a party vote. i'm getting the hook. it says wrap up. anyway, on the way out the door, much forank you very sponsoring this. and thank you all for participating. you had an impressive panel. we had some really great people here all morning. thank you very much for coming to hear us.
