>> yeah, so, bob menendez was trialcently for bribery, and it ended up being a mistrial. so, it's hard -- it's not great about you're running for office and you're facing charges for something, especially something like bribery. so, menendez was runng against a candidate who actually had very little campaign structure, very little name i.d., somebody an fec report and only got 60% of the vote at the end. so, usually, if you win aprimare would kind of -- we wouldn't notice. if you erunninga big deal. somebody who has absolutely no campaign structure, what that tells you is that voters likely went to the voting booths and just picked the democrat who wasn't bob menendez, and that's what we saw happen last night. >> what s do you get that senator menendez is trying to at least change the script, so to speak, about what happened to him, particularly as you go to a general election? >> yeah, so, menendez has been very clear thathe does not that the charges were fair, and he's been very clear that he wants to remain public, active in public office. so, i think we're going to se

do we have the menendez number? >> i'm calling the control room ght now. >> while you dhat -- okay, we got new jersey right here. the story is this -- bob menendez was on trial on bribery charges in federal court. it was a hung jury. prosecutors declined to go after him. then the senate ethics committee just a month ago, democrat and republican severely admonished him for his relationship with a donor, for the gifts he accepted, for what he did for that donor, they gave him a former rebuke. the entire democratic establishment in new jersey nationally rallied behind him. no serious opponent emerged. so menendez's name was on the ballot in the democratic primary in new jersey tonight. there was another name, nobody knew much about her, lis mccormack. bob menendez, not all the votes are in, last i saw 61-39. this i a name nobody knew getting nearly four in ten democrats to check her name off again. we talk about senate control, democrats in those trump states trying to hang on to get a chance in the senate. this is a s

thank you,kson: senator menendez. i appreciate and agree with your comments about the admiral, he is ultimately qualified, very qualified and a great nominee. i appreciate you all being here today. nagy, is that correct? -- in all the people i have gotten to know in my travels to africa and the work done in africa since i came to congress johnny is the most knowledgeable, insightful and most well received american on the continent of africa so if you didn't know him, which i thought you did, but if you hadn't, i want to make sure you do. since you do know him, take advantage because he is a terrific asset. mr. nagy: absolutely. when i was ambassador in ethiopia, he was ambassador in kenya. sen. isakson: you focused on the sudan in part of your testimony, mentioned the sudan. that is a horrible problem. it's getting worse by the day. we've tried a special envoy. i knew general gratian, the comprehensive peace agreement we worked on to finally get a referendum for independence which we finally got, but it never did anyt

in menendez case, menendez matters.ations against menendez albeit not proving, those are real. not only that, they are being logged out by the democratic opponent. i think that is a top-secret democrats, although traditionally it's a blue state. we'll see how that pans out. cheryl: wrote quick, capri, lisa mccormack is a publisher in his own primary and that is actually being considered competitive because of menendez legal trouble. either one of those is going to have to face robert kagan -- barbara cue canned, excuse me. this is a businessman. again -- >> we've seen businessmen be successful in new jersey previously in the context of democratic with corzine for example. it's an interesting place. it ise, but sometimes the low crossovelks like chris christie. this is really about of menendez because of the special circumstances that have her visit here everything whether it's new jersey or california it's about turnout and who shows up in more importantly who doesn't show up to the pole which will impact the outcome. c

that point about menendez's prosecution was the biggest gaffe that came out of this. the president didn't give any cards away. it do could have been so much worse. there's so much chaos in the white house. not enough attention to security. people are not skilled enough to understand who is who and what kind of processes should be in place for things like this. >> it's very awkward. this comedian, stuttering john on the howard stern show, he got through to the president. he spoke with our reporter. before he spoke with the president, he spoke with jared kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser to set the stage for the president from air force one calling him back. listen to this. >> i get a call from air force one. it's jared kushner. i know it's jared. i'm a political news junky. i watch cnn all the time. i know jared's voice. it was definitely him. he said to me, i'm going in and out of my english accent. yes, hello, how are you doing? then he says, i can get the president out of a meeting now or i can have him call you back in a few minutes. i said, pl

the fake menendez then asks about the supreme court pick and then signs off on a call with what seems be the president of the united states with a howard stern catchphrase. >> good luck on your trip and thank you so much for taking my call. >> you take care. i will speak to you soon, bob. take care of yourself. >> all right, thanks, thanks, mr. president. >> thank you, bob. i'll talk to you soon. bye. >> all right all right. baba booey to you. >> joining me to discuss this incident potentially and what it says about the white house, michelle goldberg, columnist at the "new york times." chris lu, former white house cabinet secretary and assistant to president obama. and asawin suebsaeng at the daily best. asawin, let's start with you. you've got some reporting on this? >> yes, from senior officials i've been talking to in trump's west wing, they're still last i spoke to them earlier tonight trying to figure out exactly what happened here. but the best that they believe that happened was the comedian called in multiple times to the white house switchboard and was turned away, then he st

now, here's my question to senator menendez.ith the issues, pick up the phone and try and talk to the president. maybe you can make some head way. you know, i can't understand that either. >> what's the take away you have from this? what should we take away from the experience you've had, being able to reach the president? is it, as you said, this system surrounding him is apparently pretty lax, that anybody can get through to talk to the president of the united states? what do you want us to take away? >> i've proven how this administration can get duped. you know, it makes me, you know, really, really believe the president's association with putin and the russians before the election. i thoroughly believe that, you know, this is a -- this is an organization -- an administration in disarray. i think this points out that. you know, donald trump is going to be embarrassed by the people he hired to do screening. look, they didn't ask me any questions to verify if it was the senator. they could have asked me what state he was senat

senator menendez. >> thank you. we are very committed to robust diplomacy in the effort to solve the threat of a nuclear arms north korea. farainly, dialogue is better than threatening nuclear annihilation against each other over twitter. the dialogue and particularly diplomacy has to be clear eyed, it has to be steady, thoughtful, prepared. which is the challenge that we have to the summit that was held. ofre was really no substance operation to test the proposition of what kim jong-un is really committed to. and what do we mean by denuclearization? ross, that is pretty clear. the nuclearent of warheads that exist, the nuclear operation and special materials, and the missile activities. that is how you ultimately eliminate the threat at a minimum. but, none of that, even a definition of what the commitment to work toward was not acquired in this communique. we have a lot of sizzle but not a lot of stake. s --teak. this is probably the weakest communique i have ever seen come out of an engagement with north korea ov

menendez: mr. president, today i rise in condemnation of the trump administration's heartless, cruel, and inhumane policy of separating children from their parents when they seek asylum at our southern border. i do so as a son of refugees who fled their homeland and came to this country because they longed to be free. i do so as a catholic appalled by what's being done in the name of my christian faith. i do so out of concern as the ranking member of the senate foreign relations committee that the cruelty being conducted in the name of the united states government may cause lasting damage to america's reputation in the world. i do so as a parent who knows that there's no love more powerful, no love more universal than love for your child. and it is love that has driven these families to seek asylum in the united states. seeking asylum is not a crime. it is a cry for mercy, an act of desperation. the trauma being inflicted on these children and the anguish being inflicted on these parents is a direc

lindsey graham of south carolina, senator cory gardner of colorado, senator michael bennet, bob menendez. we put a lot of hours into it. we wrote a bill to answer the presidents challenge we produced a bill and presented it to him and he rejected it. he was not going to allow us to come to a bipartisan conclusion to solve this problem without enacting other parts of the law which he demanded. we couldn't find bipartisan consensus for the president's proposal. in fact, with presidents proposal was called on before the senate chamber, 39 of the 100 senators voted for it, only 39. it it was a clear illustration of the presidents approached

this democratic competitor to menendez spent almost nothing.ning in republican primary spent a lot of time or at least some pubng the fact t senator menendez had been admonished by the senate for essentially doing the work of donors, he lobbied the health and human service department, helped get the girlfriend's visa into the country. that does not result in a conviction even though he was charged and charges were dropped but the senate did admonish him and shows new jersey voters are concerned about corruption and if republicans were to put money into this, it could be surprise pick-up. paul: that's the key. putting money. he's already spent 7 million of his own in just primary. >> i think that's right. the national republican senatorial campaign is going to put money into this. we saw in 2014 ed gillespie in virginia, they did not go into the race, maybe if they had, maybe republicans would have one more seat. paul: i think he would have beaten him. martha, republican congresswoman from alabama, forced to runoff with a challenge from former m

we called senator menendez and they say the white house called and asked why senator menendez called. it was a comedian who was able to have a conversation with president trump. the president talking about possible deals on immigration, not too shocking. had he managed, under the impression he was talking to a united states senator, this would have been a real security breach. while they aren't confirming it, it's something that could be a problem going forward unless they clean up their system. >> terry moran, thank you. we'll turn to the cell phone video causing outrage showing a police officer tasing an unarmed man from behind him as the man sat on the sidewalk. some say that man was appearing to obey commands when it happened. here's adrienne bankert on that video tonight from lancaster, pennsylvania. >> reporter: tonight an investigation. this unarmed man seated, tased from behind. lancaster pennsylvania police respond to a 911 call saying sean williams was threatening people with a bat. no bat was found. police saying the 27-year-old was not compliant. that's before cameras are

senator menendez? >> thank you, mr. leader. look, we are very committed to a robust diplomacy as an effort to solve the threat of a nuclear armed north korea. and certainly dialogue is far better than threatening nuclear annihilation against each other over twitter, but dialogue and particularly diplomacy has to be clear-eyed. as steady. it has to be thoughtful. it had to be prepared, which is the challenge that we have to the summit that was held. there was really no substantive deep preparation to test the proposition of what kim jong-un is really committed to. and what do we mean by denuclearization? for uhat'sretty clear. it is a dismantling of the nuclear war heads that exist, the nuclear operation and its materials and its missile activities. that's how you ultimately eliminate the threat at a minimum. but none of that, even definition of what the commitment to work towards was not acquired in this communique. so we had a lot of sizzle here but not a lot of steak at the end of the day. and this is probably the weakest com

the president apparently thought he was talking to new jersey democratic senator bob menendez. the phony caller even asked about immigration. >> they got to have security at the border. and that's a good issue for the democrats, too, bob. it's not like it's good for you or good for me. it's good for both of us. >> the authentic senator menendez used the joke to make a statement. saying i welcome any opportunity to have a real conversation with the president on how to uphold the american values. still hard to believe that such a call could actually take place. nbc hasn't been able to independently verify. can you judge if that sounds like the president. what does stand out is we've asked the white house a number of times, how did this happen? was this in fact the president's voice? they have declined to respond and certainly if it were not the president's voice, they would have ample opportunities to tell thaus it was the wrong thing. so figure this out for yourself how you want to address that. it was one of those instances where the president apparently speaking to someone he'

it sounded like he likes bob menendez. very congenial. but what is it that bob menendez had to say?ber, and not just any number, but "air force one." the white house switchboard is available to any american, but the "air force one" number, how did he get that? >> or he went to the switchboard. how did that do that without doing any other questions. >> so fascinating. it wenl from the switchboard to -- >> and jared kushner took the call. i think somebody's going to be answering questions about that. >> interesting. >> it is. >>> it's also eight minutes after the hour. here's look at the weather for your weekend. >>> they're an ocean creature so rare, few people have ever seen them in the wild. up next, the desperate race to save the tiniest species of porpoise, the vaquita, from potential extinction. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." jardiance asked- and now you know. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill proven to both reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease... ...and lower a1c, with diet and exercise. jardiance

democratic incumbent robert menendez has been carrying a lot of baggage. did send off a primary challenger. he will be the democratic nominee in new jersey's race this fall. a surprise, but he is heading into the general election after federal criminal corruption charges against him were dropped. he has denied that he did anything wrong. in new jersey, republican primary, a wealthy former pharmaceutical executive named bob fugate has been declared the winner. he is worth! as port $7.5 million into this race, and ended up trailing by only a few points. he has been pummeling his opponent over accepting gifts, a jury could not reach a verdict on the charges against menendez last year, federal prosecutors decided not to retry that case. the democrat is still considered a relatively safe win for november, factors include the trump tax, which has hit new jersey particularly hard. >> thank you. >> let's take a look at the numbers on the mayor's race, one of the biggest bay area elections tonight. jane kim is challenging london breed , and you can see she's in thi
