mr. director? >> i'm not certain i would say -- >> how do you react to them? >> well, it is problematic is an understatement. >> problematic is an understatement. as sara murray reports, democrats are claiming today's testimony only bolsters their case for impeachment proceedings to begin while republicans are saying they learned nothing new, case closed. >> reporter: prize witness on the stand -- >> do you swear or affirm -- >> reporter: democrats tried to drive home president trump's alleged misconduct. >> the report did not conclude that he did not commit obstruction of justice? is that correct? >> that is correct. >> and what about total exoneration? did you actually totally exonerate the president? >> no. >> reporter: special counsel robert mueller neutered trump's favorite line of defense. >> well your investigation is not a witch hunt, is it. >> it is not a witch hunt. >> when the president said the russian interference was a hoax, that was not true, was it. >> true. >> reporter: but failing to deliver the sparks democrats hoped for. >> was the purpose of this meeting to start impeachment -- >> reporter: the hearings blotted along and they read section

mr. trump narrowly capture the white house in 2016. our big question today is can president trump's reinvigorated strategy of racial resentment win him a second term in the white house. joining me mark murray, nbc news national political reporter monica alba, "new york times" white house correspondent annie carney and wanda summers. great to have all of you here. annie, we mentioned your article and i thought this also from your article was particularly fascinating and important so i'm going to quote it. brad parscall has been telling people that it's very hard to persuade voters in the current hyper partisan political landscape. mr. trump's reelection strategy instead is to solidify his base and increase turnout. how do these attacks play into that strategy? >> these attacks do help him. these attacks do resonate with the base. i think trump is on to something when he says people like it. people like it. the people he is referring to are his hard score supporters, what brad parscale -- >> white, not college educated, often male. >> that's right. that's right. and what brad parscale is saying there is that his theory of the case for 2020 is that there is not a lot of voters out there left

murray: do you have a task force? are you going to be bringing recommendations? are there anything -- are there things we should focus on? mr. burleson: that is what we are working on in terms of how best to do some of these activities. going forward, i suspect we will have some recommendations. at this point, we are doing a lot of assessment on how best to deal with some issues in terms of pipelines, proficiencies, and partnerships. this is a top priority because the heart of aviation being successful in america has relied on the workforce. is criticale this for the vitality as well as safety of the system. sen. murray: i appreciate that and look forward to recommendations hopefully sooner rather than later. sen. collins: thank you. to follow-upi want on the line of questioning i began in the first round. i would ask that you bring your so we canle closer hear you more clearly. story i mentioned asserted that at one point in the certification process, faa managers conceded that the max did not meet agency guidelines for protecting flight controls, but then the faa considered whether any requested changes would interfere wi

murray. and i also want to recognize the hard work of senator graham and senator feinstein on the judiciary committee for the bipartisan package of reforms that they produced last month. and, finally, mr. president, i want to salute the finance committee chairman, chuck grassley, and the ranking member wyden, for taking bipartisan action just last week in passing significant prescription drug -- the prescription drug pricing reduction act. that has many important provisions in it that will require more disclosure. it includes a bill that senator casey and i have authored as well as many other important provisions, including putting an inflation -- a medical inflation cap on certain pharmaceuticals. mr. president, i know how much you personally care about this issue and have contributed greatly to this work as well. my hope is that we can build upon this momentum, that we can seize the moment where three different committees of the senate have all been successful in reporting to the full senate three bipartisan bills. our help committee bill was reported by a vote of 20-3. that is remarkable consensus. let us bring all of these bills to the senate floor this fall, or certainly by the e

mrs. murray: thank you, madam president. madam president, today president trump and republican attorney generals are explaining in court why they think people who got their health care through the exchanges or medicaid expansion should have it ripped away. they're explaining why limits on patients' out-of-pocket costs should go away while limits on their annual and lifetime benefits should come back and why protections for people with preexisting conditions should be struck down. in other words, republicans are once against fighting to take us back to the bad old days to give big insurance companies all the power to leave millions of people without any hope of getting the quality affordable care they need and to leave patients and families with fewer protections and higher bills. patients like lilly from gig harbor, washington, my home state. lilly is a rising high school sophomore. she's a rising soccer star, and she is a patient living with cystic fibrosis. to stay healthy and stay on the field, lilly needs to take sever
