mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, first i'm glad that the majority leader and i get along. i'm glad we're able to do certain things together like the opioid bill and the appropriations bill, but that cannot hold me back from responding to the blatant falsehoods he tells day after day after day on this floor. first, from the man who single-handedly delayed the filling of justice scalia's seat for ten months to complain about a one-week delay to get the truth. give me a break. it is classic diversionary blame-the-other-person tactics when he himself is the master of delay. it is galling, appalling to hear day after day the majority leader get on his high horse about delay when he almost invented the word when it comes to judicial nominations. second, he blames democrats for the delay, which is about the most blatant falsehood i have heard uttered on this floor in a long time. the majority leader knows darn well that he has the sole power to determine when to put the kavanaugh nomination on the floor. he could

mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: minority leader. mr. schumer: are we in quorum? the presiding officer: we are. mr. schumer: i ask unanimous consent the quorum be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. schumer: mr. president, it's another morning in the senate and another partisan diatribe coming from my good friend -- and he is my good friend -- the majority leader. instead of looking at what happened, that a young woman came forward because she felt compelled to, knowing she'd risk so much on herself, which unfortunately has happened, he seeks to blame somebody else, in this case the democrats. let's remember dr. ford came forward before judge kavanaugh was even nominated. dr. ford came forward and called up two people before anyone even knew of her allegations, including one, a hotline from "the washington post," according to her testimony. and our colleague, my colleague here has engaged in a giant cue cue -- kubiki game. he knows how believable dr. ford is

mr. schumer: thank you, mr. president. you now, in a short time, the senate will take a final vote on the nomination of judge brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. the road that led us here has been bitter, angry, and partisan. steeped in hypocrisy and hyperbole and resentment and outrage. from start to finish, president trump's nomination of brett kavanaugh to the united states supreme court has been one of the saddest moments in the history of the senate. when the history of the senate is written, this chapter will be a flashing red warning light of what to avoid. truly, judge kavanaugh's confirmation is a low moment for the senate, for the court, for the country. the republican majority has conducted one of the least transparent, least fair, most biased processes in senate history, slanting the table from the very beginning to produce their desired result. why do i say this? because they withheld over 90% of the nominee's record from the senate and the american people, because they refused to allow dr. ford to call a si

mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: democrati c leader. mr. schumer: thank you, mr. president. on friday senators flake, collins and murkowski joined by democratic senators coons, klobuchar and oh made the only fair move, to demand the f.b.i. investigate the credible allegations of sexual misconduct by supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. it was the right thing to do. fair to both dr. blasey ford and judge kavanaugh. for too long republicans have rushed this process forward and likely would have rushed to a final vote if not for the prudent bipartisan efforts of those senators to demand a full f.b.i. investigation. what's important now is for the f.b.i. investigation to be serious, impartial and thorough, to ferret out the facts and do so quickly. that means interviewing all -- all -- of the relevant witnesses and accepting corroborating accounts when they come forward. it also means following up on any leads that emerge from the process of the investigation. the f.b.i. has ample resources to do this within the one-week period requested by the members of the judici

chuck schumer and nancy pelosi put out a statement saying mr. trump words bring hollow until reverses statements that condones acts of violence and wall street journal, a moment to settle political score. >> i flew in last night and i was watching the various networks and i was blown away by the fact that every single person took president trump's speech and made id as if he was the one inciting all of the violence, disregard the fact that we've had republicans shot, on baseball fields in dc, come on, guys, this is both sides, people need to take a step back but when you start to point the blame at someone like mom and dad always told you, you to look back at yourself first. dagen: to quote president obama in tucson, the one in which congressman gabi giffords was injured, ailes the world of feet, that bears repeating, reporting more than 9 million customers may have had data compromised, latest next, plus reliability tanking, tesla reporting better than expected well better than numbers for the quarter, actually reported earnings and the car com

mr. mast: what ms. baer said court's supposed to be above politics. when we have a confirmation when those are looking -- chuck shurm saying -- schumer saying within po minutes of the 30 minutes of the names being nnounced would oppose the individual without vetting the ndividual, reading fbi reports as brett kavanaugh was with different administrations. it ng never looked at that was already political. -- spoke about this -- having -- looking at this lawyer, i e hat after looked at it with the hat of a father. i have a little girl. my daughter made an accusation, i would want it to be serious. want anyone to play politics with it. i would go to law enforcement. i have two little boys and i boy on the way, and there's never a moment i ould want my little boys to have their right of being presumed innocent stripped of political e of a process. that's not right and it was something stripped out of these i would stand d against impeachment proceedings. > is that right of due process stripped from mr. kavanaugh? ms. baer: no, it wasn't. individual.t the no individual is entitled to a lifetime appointment on the supreme court. picking jurists for the high

schumer talking about brett kavanaugh's nomination. >> he would be a deciding vote on the most important issues affecting our country. and every american for generations to come. mrsident, based on all the factors we have before us, i do not believe judge kavanaugh has earned this seat. >> i asked my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. why judge kavanaugh? there is no dictate that you have to march blindly forward with a nominee when there are others available. there are many judges who i'm sure conservatives would be happy to have on the court. >> so back with the panel. let's talk raw politics because we are so close to election day and so many of these key decision makers are on the ballot in really red states where the president won by more than double-digits. three in particular. heidi heitkamp, north dakota who decided to vote no. joe donnelly voted no. joe manchin on the procedural measure voted yes. we will see if he continues that way. all signs point to yes and that that will continue, but in terms of the politics of how this plays out in the senate. the house is a different story, but in the senate, it's very, very fascinating. i want to pull up

schumer said "there's no presumption of innocence or guilt." chris said "kavanaugh now bears the burden of disproving these allegations rather than dr. ford and mr. ramirez." mazie hirono said that "judge kavanaugh does not preserve do not deserve the presumption of innocence. democrats want to block kavanaugh and hold the seat open until the 2020 election. this is about politics and this is about power, pure and simple. they've destroyed judge kavanaugh's reputation, undermined dr. ford's privacy and tried to upend our traditions of innocence until proven guilty in the process. it's a complete and total disgrace. we will receive and submit the fpi supplemental background investigation on his nomination to the senate as a leader mcconnell said, judge kavanaugh deserves our prompt vote and we expect them to get one. with that, i will take your questions. >> the three people that are the most important in this processor senator murkowski, collins, and ford. this morning, to go of them were upset about how the president described christine mallozzi ford in that rally in mississippi. knowing how sensitive this is, these people need to be comfortable

conveniently forgot that chuck schumer and harry reid 18 months before the end of bush 43 said if a supreme court vacancy occurred they wouldn't fill it. talk about hypocrisy. >> but mr. leader, i don't think that's right. in 1956, eisenhower nominated brennan, the 84th congress was democrat controlled, and also on the biden rule, he was talking in the abstract. there was no nominee, no nominee was blocked, and he said to not have the nomination come up before the election, but it could come up after the election. and so what democrats say when they hear you doing this is they say he's creating new rules to essentially do what he wants to do. and as you have written in your book "the long game" when you do that, it actually hurts democracy. >> yeah, well, that's not at all what happened, john. you're completely misconstruing what happened. what i gave you is the history of this. i know the history of this. i have spent a lot of time on this throughout my career. what i did was entirely consistent with what the history of the senate's been, and that situation going back to 1880. >> well, i think the 1956 example and also in 1968, later in the election cycle, when a de

mr. jamal khashoggi there will be, quote, severe punishment, let's listen to more of what the president said right after his rally. were -- >> one hour with nancy pelosi and chuck schumerrible political point for democrats. [music] >> i would call in the military and seal the border. if that happens and continues to move forward, the caravan we are talking about, a man-made caravan if you want to know the truth. i think some bad people started the caravan. more importantly or maybe almost as importantly you have some very, very bad people in the caravan, you have some very tough criminal elements within the caravan, but i will seal off the border before they come into this country and i will bring out our military, not reserves, i will bring out our military. [inaudible] >> biden is a man -- number one, he can't draw a crowd. you see what we have. we have thousands of people that couldn't get in today, many thousands. now, look, i wish biden the best, i hope he's going to be the nominee, actually. i just hope they pick somebody good, somebody that's going to represent their interest. if it's biden or elizabeth warren, i think she's been very badly damaged by what happe

mr. president, if you're watching this, wait a week. come next week. the focus this week is on the funerals. >> we've also learned that all four congressional leaders, mcconnell, ryan, schumerand pelosi declined an invitation to join the president in pittsburgh today. nbc's ron mott is outside the tree of life synagogue. ron, first, and most importantly here, what do we know about the memorial plans for the victims? >> reporter: well, craig, as you mentioned, the first of the funerals beginning today. they will last throughout the rest of the week, and as you've also mentioned, a lot of people here want this to be a period of reflection and not something that we put into the political sphere. when the chief politician of the united states makes a scheduled visit, it's almost hard, if not impossible to do that. you can see that the memorial is set up back here just outside the synagogue. people have been coming by paying their respects since that awful tragedy took place on saturday. just a few moments ago -- and maybe this is perhaps an indication of the president's itinerary this afternoon -- they've installed some barriers here. we don't know his official schedule, we may

eddie, chuck schumer said they thought they would be done with this investigation, maybe a week, maybe it's going to take more time. i want to share what mcconnell said about that. >> but mr. president, i'd bet almost anything that after it runs its course in the next few days, we will then be treated to a lecture. a lecture. that anything short of a totally unbounded fishing expedition of indefinite duration is too limited or too arbitrary or somehow insufficient. we all know that's coming. you can practically hear the sounds of the democrats moving the goal post. >> is that fair? >> no. it's actually -- it's actually an indication of how brazen senator mcconnell's hypocrisy actually is. behind him should be a sign, like on "snl," instead of -- merrick garland's face should show up, right? >> was that not being the most extraordinary troll ever? >> that's what should happen. the kind of moral highground -- >> should have had merrick garland instead of alyssa milano. >> that would have been amazing. >> the way he's trying to think about the nomination. the way he's trying to frame the democrats possible complaint about an investigation that has in some ways been limited i

conveniently forgot that chuck schumer and harry reid 18 months before the end of bush 43 said if a supreme court vacancy occurred they wouldn't fill it. talk about hypocrisy. >> but, mr. leader, i don't think that's right. in 1956 eisenhower nominated brennan, the 84th congress was democrat controlled. and also on the biden rule, joe biden was talking in the abstra abstract. there was no nominee, no nominee was blocked and he said to not have the nomination come up before the election, but that it could come up after the election. so democrats say when they hear you doing this they say he's creating new rules to essentially do what he wants to do and as you've written in your book "the long game" when you do that it actually hurts democracy. >> that's not exact -- that's not at all what happened, joe. you are completely misconstruing what happened. what i gave you is the history of this. i know the history of this. i've spent a lot of time on this throughout my career. what i did was entirely consistent with what the history of the senate has been in that situation going back to 1880. >> well, i think the 1956 example and also in 1968 later in the election cycle when

schumer was really angry yesterday. because he wanted essentially an fbi briefing before the white house got it. and mr.cconnell said nope, sorry. can't have it because the republicans on the senate side are furious. here is lindsey graham of your home state of south carolina. he says, you know what? mr. kavanaugh is going to get in. watch. >> i have never felt more confident because i have been told a summary of a summary, the fbi background check is going to hold up. it's going to reinforce everything the committee did. if the fbi interviews validate what the committee found, i hope these three republicans who asked for the delay will say now i'm satisfied. brett kavanaugh i have known for 20 years. i'm telling you right now what they have done to this guy is a bunch of garbage. you should be offended and it will descrow the judiciary. don't be part of this crowd, joe. go with west virginia. brian: i know senator graham. if brett kavanaugh gets, in there is no argument anywhere in anybody's living room, kitchen or tv set that graham deserves the bulk of the credit. because he has the legal background.

schumer, and then waters to rally up the republican base. there is no one they don't like more than a california democrat. roth when it comes to mr.lus, is he getting support from other groups? strategists have conceded that this race is pretty much over for him. host: massachusetts is next, patrick. good morning, go ahead. not speakingre we about the pharmaceutical companies that made 600% profit? meanwhile we are trying to get people's money versus the businesses of nursing. nurses should be getting extra money every day they go to work. we need people to take care of the people. pharmaceutical companies only make money off the people but we don't talk about that 600% profit. let's put another 300% into the people. host: pharmaceutical issues come up? guest: we are hearing a fair amount about pharmaceutical issues come especially when it comes to opioids, how much the industry is making, profit. you have seen a lot of democratic candidates talk about getting money out of politics this year, a lot of candidates taking a new corporate pack badge. they are not running just on the issue of campaign finance reform , it is just reform

schumer supported trump within hours of tariffs going on. stuart: i'm glad you're a commentator, michael. you can figure out exactly what is going on. you're very good at it. mryou, stuart. stuart: next case. we'll talk to a lady, she's a welder making it her mission to get more women in construction jobs. do women really want these jobs? she says they do. she will make her case after this. there's a lot to love about medicare. there's also a lot to know. part a that's your hospital coverage, part b is all the doctor stuff... the most important thing to know? medicare doesn't pay for everything. and guess what that means... yep...you're on the hook for the rest. that's why it's important to consider an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. a plan like this helps pay for some of what medicare doesn't. so you could end up paying less out of your own pocket. that's nice. and these are the only medicare supplement plans endorsed by aarp. selected for meeting their high standards of quality and service. it feels good to have someone looking out for you. want to find out more? call unitedhealthcare insurance company

mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: democrati the presiding officer: democrati >> mister president, on friday senators flake and collins and murkowski made the only fair move to demand the fbi investigate credible allegations of sexual misconduct by the supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. it was the right thing to do. to doctor ford and the judge kavanaugh.av for too long republicans have rushed the process forward and likely would progress to a final vote if not by the prudent bipartisan efforts to demand a full fbiat investigation. what's important now is for the fbi investigation to be serious, impartial and thorough. to vet out the facts and do so quickly. that means interviewing all witnesses and accepting corroborating accounts when they come forward.ns also following up on any leads from the process of the investigation the fbi has ample resources within the one week period requested by the judiciary committee. everybody is asking to be done within that week. there is concern the white h
