even the pat toomey won pat toomey of the picking up folks in the eastern part of the state. president trump didn't. i think number one will find out, is a pro trump vote really a pro-republican vote and it may not be. i think people see president trump as a third-party candidate. the second thing is hillary clinton is not on the ballot. and you know, we have to remember that. it was a choice election. and i would tell you if hillary clinton was in all the states running for the senate or house, i'm guessing republican candidates would probably be doing a little better. >>. paul: that you look at john kasich, you look at rick snyder, you look at wisconsin, scott walker running for the third term. and bruce rauner won one term. he is really behind in illinois but the upper midwest, that has been a pretty strong, it was a very strong for republicans.the obama era at the state and local level. so voters were clearly willing to vote for republicans in those races at the time. why not now? >> first of all, i think a couple of things have happened. second, we know historically that

and i would point out that senator pat toomey who was a republican, he was not there today to meet themitch mcconnell and paul ryan were invited along. they did not go either. i think they had the sense to realize this was a day of mourning when the dead needed to be the focus, that this neighborhood is grieving, that it is challenge -- there are security challenges. barack obama waited several days and all of the cases of mass murders until he would not take away from the emergency response, the police response, the police are grieving and i think, you know, jeff zeleny reported that the reason the white house was giving for why it had to happen today is that the president's schedule is chock-full of campaign rallies before the midterms for the next week so if that's not the definition of political posturing, i don't know what is. >> david, earlier today on my 4:00 show i asked paul begala who worked in the bill clinton white house about when bill clinton went to oklahoma after the oklahoma city bombing. oklahoma, you might not be surprised to hear, not a hotbed of pro-clinton sentime

senate pennsylvania losing narrowly to know incumbent pat toomey in 2010 in the democratic primary 2016. a masters degree in public administration and a phd in political economy from the kennedy school of harvard. he has been teaching on ethics, government and leadership. he is the author walking in your shoes to restore the american dream. he proudly states he has sales in the high two digits. >> it's that high. >> i suspect that bob and i are the only two people in the room who actually read this book. it is an incredibly detailed analysis of what joe wanted to do in u.s. senate. it was smart, it was sophisticated, it showed a command of how government actually works that i think too many government don't have. i also was struck in this campaign and maybe joe references today about the trust deficit in american politics. something that should be of concern to us. getting to issues beyond partisanship. so, welcome admiral. [applause] 's judge admiral, he's a sick decatur colonist and perhaps most famous judicial analyst for fox news. [applause] he lectures and actually on the u.s. cons

we will talk business and much more with senator pat toomey that's after this break.s slide, can the markets rebound this week this morning, doesn't look like it at least not so far. let's check out the futures. you'll see it right now. dow's down by only by about 78 points s&p futures by ten the nasdaq off by 45 place, the xfinity xfi gateway. and it's strengthened by xfi pods, which plug in to extend the wifi even farther, past anything that stands in its way. ...well almost anything. leave no room behind with xfi pods. simple. easy. awesome. click or visit a retail store today. . >>> welcome back, everybody. president trump touching on the topics of both china and saudi arabia last night on "60 minutes. >> i have a great chemistry, also, with president xi of china. i don't know that that's necessarily going to continue. i told president xi we cannot continue to have china take $500 billion a year out of the united states in the form of trade and other things >> and how -- >> and i said we can't do that and we're not going to do that anymore. >> joining us now to ta

. >>> still to come this morning, senator pat toomey joins us. the rest of the show is former dallas fed president richard fisher he'ljo uonetexl ins s nt. es? great question. see, for a full service brokerage like ours, that's tough to do. schwab does it. next question. do you offer a satisfaction guarantee? a what now? a satisfaction guarantee. like schwab does. man: (scoffing) what are you teaching these kids? ask your broker if they offer award-winning full service and low costs, backed by a satisfaction guarantee. if you don't like their answer, ask again at schwab. if you don't like their answer, whenshe was pregnant,ter failed, in-laws were coming, a little bit of water, it really- it rocked our world. i had no idea the amount of damage that water could do. we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you? they were on it. it was unbelievable. having insurance is something everyone needs, but having usaa- now that's a privilege. we're the baker's and we're usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance qu

two sources said the top four leaders as well as republican senator pat toomey of pennsylvania received an invitation and all declined. they are not the only ones. either the mayor of pittsburgh and the county executive plan to be with the president while he is there. the rabbi of the tree of life has no plans to meet with the president, yet he may clear that the president is welcome whenever he likes. kaitlan collins is in pittsburgh where the president will be. what are you hearing about what the president is going to do and who he will meet with? >> it's a pretty big question mark for some officials in the white house who have been scrambling to put together a schedule for president trump when he does arrive. that's becoming complicated because they have a slew of not only national, but local officials who say either they don't want to meet with the president or it's not going to work out. these funerals are starting to get under way today. that's one reason why the rabbi said he will on't be meeting wi president trump even though he is welcome to visit when he wants to. the mayor sa

pat toomey declined an invitation. bob case yes's office said he was not invited. the top four congressional leaders also declined nvitations to join the president's trip. >>> the attack at the tree of life synagogue has some worried about safety at places of worship in our yafrlt since saturday we've seen changes at local churches and temples. and today some faith leaders meh ecurity experts to talk about their concern. meagan fitzgerald reports. >> not only is anti-semitism arising but it gets translated into vile behavior. >> reporter: after the nation watched theh afterm of the ruthless attack many pittsburgh, localue synagin d.c. have added metal detectors as a way protecting the congregation. >> we have to figure out, how do we have security without gatively impacting what's happening inside. >> reporter: security guards closelyam monitoringeras while armed police officers the hallway and monitor the building from outside. >> the heightened awareness since saturday, part of it is to put people at ease. >> reporr: the anye says he want his members to feel safe

pennsylvania when donald trump did very well in western part of pennsylvania and ran way ahead of pat toomeyhe ended up votes in the eastern part of the state that president trump didn't. number one, we are going to find out is protrump vote a prorepublican vote and maybe not well be and some see president trump as third-party candidate. the second thing is hillary clinton is not on the ballot and, you know, we have to remember that, that was a choice election and i would tell you if hillary clinton was running for the state or house i'm guessing republican candidates would be doing better. paul: john, you look at say ohio, two-term republican governor john kasich, rick snyder, look at wisconsin scott walker running for third term, but that upper midwest, that has been a pretty strong -- that was strong for republicans throughout the obama era at the state and local levels, voters were clearly willing to vote for republicans in those races at that time. why not now? >> yeah, i mean, well, first of all, i think a come of things have happened, second of all, we know historically when we are in

if you go all the way down through pennsylvania to maryland, delaware, new jersey, it's only pat toomey. that's the only other one in all those states in the northeast. so she has the challenge of a purple state represented today which is very tough, squaring this circle of right and left because you have to do both to keep people behind you enough to keep you in office. so we saw a classic example of someone fighting for their political life right there, doing the best job you can do. >> we have breaking news now. senator joe manchin who did not want to be the deciding vote on this has announced he will support. he's a yes on brett kavanaugh. so that is happening. chris matthews has been talking about the purple state of maine. let's go right there. morgan radford is standing by having talked to maine voters there. morgan? >> we just saw an entire group of voters here in the corner break out in applause when senator collins said she would, in fact, be voting to confirm kavanaugh. and everyone in maine has been on pins and needles all day. it's 4:00 in the afternoon. people already here

pat toomey kevin rudd will be joining us to talk a little bit about the relationship between the u.s.headed there isn't that enough? >> you guys always have so much stuff. it's a wealth -- it's an embarrassing wealth of riches. >> i'll take that. >> i would, too, i think it's going to be a big show as always andrew, thank you. >> thank you. >> still up on this show, let's get you up to speed on the market action. we have a futures picture that's pointing to a lower open but it's better than it was a half an hour, 40 minutes. the dow slated to open down by around 120, 130 points at this point. overall the s&p off by 15. if you take a look at the asian session it was down much more so in japan than the other major forces nearly 2% decline for the nikkei in japan shanghai off by 1.5% european trading we have seen a gradual improvement there. two specs of green for some of the major forces the dax and the ftse 100 both marginally in positive territory. >>> earnings season here in the u.s. kicks into high gear this week with more than 50 companies in the s&p and seven dow components report

even republican senator pat toomey bowed out. none of the leaders wanted to appear with trump. >> i don't think it's surprising. he's particularly divisive right now and since he entered politics before that even. so i don't think it's surprising that politicians wouldn't want to be pictured with him on a day like today. i think there's something to your point earlier that he sort off is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. if he didn't go today, if he didn't go early i'm sure there would be people criticizing him for that, as well. i will say it's ridiculous to consider what that source told cnn about the president not wanting to -- the optics being thatting about going on a day of a rally. he went to deliver a speech the day that the massacre happened. he talked about globalists in that speech. on the date that people were slaughtered in a synagogue. i think that the idea that they suddenly care about optics in this white house in a way they didn't before is pretty absurd. >> you say globalist because that's code for what a

congressional leadership, paul ryan, nancy pelosi, mitch mcconnell, chuck schumer, including senator pat toomeythey're all invited by the president to join the president in pittsburgh today. they all declined. are they doing the right thing? >> i don't think there's anything wrong with them declining. i wouldn't read too much into that. like i said, all of them probably are barnstorming the country for particular candidates, and i know all of them have issued statements reflecting on the loss of life there. so i don't draw too much from that. >> as a member of the pennsylvania delegation, wuyour invited by the white house? >> i don't believe so, no. if i was, then my staff didn't alert me to that, so no. i'm on the other side of the state, as you know. >> right, but in a moment like this, i know that you would be more than happy to drop, i would assume you would be happy to drop everything you're doing to show solidarity with those in the community and your state. if the white house had invited you, would you have wanted to go with the president today? >> yeah, i probably would have. but i woul

. >> reporter: susan collins is the only republican senator left in new england along with pat toomey. she is up in 2020. she will be a huge target for democrats, was before this and certainly will be now. >> garrett and i think geoff, t you both. we'll watch to see if the president takes questions. let me bring in michael steele, former chairman of the rnc. and also abby livingston and anna palmer. let's get into it. let me pick up where susan collins left off. look at these headline, anger versus elation. "wall street journal," party seize on kavanaugh supreme court clash. mcconnell saying the fight has energized gop voters, but women's voters, everybody is fired up. >> yeah, they are fired up. and i just find it will moussing that the republicans think that this will be some kind of wave, a swell that will carry them into november and hold the house and maybe add seats in the senate. okay, that may be if it weren't for the fact that nine out of ten women are planning to vote against you. that is a big issue still. i mean the two parts of this, the women's vote which is huge here, a

. >> polls in pennsylvania were wrong with president trump, they were wrong with pat toomey and they'llre. >> reporter: a candidate, his supporters say, is right about the issues. >> if you're here illegal, i'll do everything in my power to kick you the hell out of here. >> reporter: why is that? >> because you don't belong here. come here legally. go back to your own country and figure it out. >> reporter: believing it's just a matter of time before trump's base comes rolling back. >> that was a trump supporter. you could see from the truck. morgan radford, my old friend, joins me. it's a different kind of election. you're not running against hillary clinton. you're running against bob casey. local elections. that gentleman was saying barletta is focusing on things like immigration. clearly that guy driving the truck agreed with that view. but in that part of pennsylvania, it's not the biggest issue. >> it's not necessarily the biggest issue but it depends on who you ask. for example, a lot of voters said we also want to hear about health care. we also want to the hear about jobs. but

they were wrong with pat toomey, and they're going to be wrong with lou barletta. >> a candidate hisupporters say is right about the issues. >> if you're here illegal, i'll do everything in my power to kick you the hell out of here. >> why is that? >> you don't belong here. come here legally. go back to your own country and straighten it out. >> believes it's just a matter of time before trump's base comes rolling back. >> those pennsylvania voters told me this year they're voting on the issues. but they said the presidential election for them was about personality. in other words they didn't like hillary clinton, but they didn't exactly mind the democratic candidates on the midterm ballots this year, which they said puts them in a tight spot. they're torn whether they vote for the democratic nominee or whether to vote at all. >> nbc's morgan radford our road warrior there. thank you very much. i want to apologize for those technical glitches. it wasn't your eyes. it wasn't your tv. we're going to try to get that correct version on our website. we'll be right back with today's big pi

. >> i want to play pat toomey today, because he got to this temperate issue, and he's making a case that says, hey, we have a record of judicial temperament. take a listen. >> if you want to know what brett kavanaugh's temperate in the courtroom is, we have 12 years of his service on the d.c. circuit court of appeals. there's plenty, and no one has ever said that he has an unsuitable temperate in all the years he's been on the court. >> danielle, would you concede that while, yes, he worked for ken starr, yes he dropped that clinton little weird bomb during his testimony, which i think is understandable why some people took that the wrong way, is there evidence when he's been in a courtroom he's been a partisan like this. >> i mean, no, but you can't discount what you saw with your own eyes. and you can't discount his history. and the reflex to immediately go to left wing conspiracies and the clintons who are after me, i mean, how -- how can you say that he will be an impartial person on the court when he just espoused these views? >> matthew, the clinton comment had to be troubling

all four top congressional leaders, along with pennsylvania's republican senator, pat toomey, were invited to go, according to cnn sources, but all declined, offering a variety of excuses. pittsburgh's democratic mayor and allegheny executive both refuse to appear with president trump. they say the attention today should be focused on the victims of saturday's anti semitic massacre. there are those who want president trump to be there. this all comes as the first funerals are being held today. among those being laid to rest, brothers david and cecil rosenthal and dr. jerry rabinowitz. we're on the ground in pittsburgh where apparently a protest has sprung up. miguel, how are the pittsburghers you're talking to -- how do they feel about the president's visit? >> reporter: look, jake, i have not seen a person with a dry eye in this neighborhood all day. people walking their dogs, moving around the neighborhood, and now this. that sadness, that absolute shock at what has happened has turned into anger with news of the president's visit. there are several hundred people here at this protest ge

maria: senator pat toomey joining us there in washington.michael, the latest details on the third most intense hurricane to hit the united states mainland ever, that's next. maria: welcome back. futures lower this morning once again. we are expecting another sharp selloff this morning on the heels of a sharp selloff this morning. dow industrials set to open down about 200 points. this is off of the lows of the morning. the dow had been down 250 earlier. the nasdaq is also off of the lows of the morning, it's now down 55 points, 3/4 of 1%. this is an extension of yesterday's sharp selloff. yesterday investors were wondering if we were looking at proof of another october effect, that's the perception that october is bad for the market because it has been a couple of times, some serious declines, black monday of course was in october of 1987 when the market dropped more than 22% in one day. the start of the great depression in 1929 also in october. let's not get crazy over here. the dow jones industrial average was down a couple of percent yest

pat toomey said he was too busy. he's doing it separately from donald trump, but you get the real sense right now that suddenly, over the past three or four days, this, quote, national president has become too toxic. >> you do get that sense, joe, because the denial of -- actually, all four of the congressional leaders were so swift. and you had reporting coming out of pittsburgh saying maybe those families would have welcomed the president, but maybe at a later point that they were still mourning. at the same time, i think the president felt like he was in a bind, that if he didn't go, he would be criticized, but it certainly is notable that he could not enlist a single even republican member of his own party to accompany him there and that he understood -- the reporting is that he was within earshot of those protesters and that he understood the situation that he was in right there, you know, amid the sounds of those protesters that he should not say anything. and he didn't coming out of there. and i think that kin
