yesterday on "meet the press" republican senator rick scott told chuck that he was disappointed in cummingsthat is a big part of why democrats are divided on what to do when it comes to impeachment, because if a republican senator wouldn't criticize the president for his tweets this weekend, you can guess there's probably no way there are going to be enough votes there to convict a president in a republican-controlled senate. joining me now is congressman ro khanna from california. he's national co-chair of the bernie sanders campaign. congressman, thank you for taking a few minutes. we were talking about the last block, there's this whole question of whether the president thinks he is going to achieve something politically with this kind of rhetoric, with these kind of tweets, whether he's doing it without any political consideration at all. i'm just curious what your read is on this country right now. do you think watching the president do this, watching the criticisms come in, do you think ultimately that is going to help him politically or do you think ultimately that is going to be som

watch republican senator rick scott respond to the controversy by going after cummings. >> congressmanthere and attacked our border patrol agents, all right. this reminds me of what happened to -- >> but that justifies a racial resentment tweet in response? is that presidential leadership? >> look, i didn't, i didn't do the tweets, chuck. >> stammering there. or take republican congressman mark meadows who cummings has called a, quote, friend, late this afternoon meadows finally weighed in saying he's friends with both trump and cummings, and that both love america. compare that to cummings' emotional defense of meadows after a democrat accused him of committing, quote, racist act. >> mr. meadows, you know, of all the people on this committee, i have said it and got in trouble for it, that you're one of my best friends. i know that shocks a lot of people. >> and likewise, mr. chairman. >> but you are. and i would do -- and i could see and feel your pain. i feel it. >> so that was cummings defending meadows amid all of this, some of trump's allies in the right wing media, they're doing

station, exclusive interviews that i have this week, adam schiff, intel committee chair, senator rick scotte in for ari. >> we'll be watching sunday, for sure. after mueller, democrats say they're already in impeachment investigation. a democrat now calling for impeachment joining us. also, mitch mccobble under fire for block election security bills. . as russian meddles in elections right now. i'm going to be joined by two senators who went inside a migrant detention center in el paso today. we'll start with an escalation in the obstruction investigation into president trump. thous judiciary chairman nadler saying "an impeachment investigation is under way," cite asking impeachment as his legal argument in a petition filed today to get secret mueller grand jury material. watch this. >> today, we are filing an application for the grand jury material underlying the mueller report. that information is critically important for our abili

donald trump could have one as much as 30% of the hispanic vote or in the 2018 midterms, ted cruz or rick scottwon 40% of the hispanic vote. it is also -- always followed by surprise. it is always expressed as a surprise. it should not be a surprise because if you look at the republican party and hispanic voters over the past 50 or 60 thes, especially since reelection of richard nixon in 1972, the percentage of hispanics who have voted for the republican party has been around a third consistently. over a 50-year period, the of --ican party has built has built and hispanic voting base. if you compare that with african-american voters, at the same time period, if you graph these things, they are going in opposite directions. at the same time the african-american support of the republican party plummets, hispanics have shot upward. there is a relationship between those two facts, i think. i wanted to explain the long baseopment of the hispanic , republican base. correct what i have come to see as misunderstandings about republican hispanics. the first is that their conservatism must be motivated b

senator rick scott of florida said of course they are not racist.re obviously not racist. anden senator from north carolina said, i literally don't go on twitter. i wonder if he just lives under a rock and doesn't watch the news or read the news or talk to anybody else. what a coward. i'm sure the people of north carolina will take that into consideration when they vote next year. white house senior advisor ivanka trump declined to comment while other top white house officials defended those remarks. >> do you find the president's tweets racists? >> i don't find them racist. the president went on and clarified his comments. i think he speaks for himself. >> i don't think the president's intent in any way is racist. >> marc, how is it not racist to tell women of color to go back to their countries when most of them were born here. >> he has an asian woman of color in his cabinet. >> what? you have one asian-american woman of quote, color in your cabinet so you can tell u.s. citizens to go back to their countries because they are black? the republican

. >> so matt gorman, you can see that was senator rick scott, republican of florida, after mick mulvaney had trouble answering these questions. so how -- are republicans just going to continue to defend what the president is doing, or essentially refrain from criticizing him, which kind of amounts to the same thing? >> i think there are a couple differences. the think the view go back where you came from and series of tweets and these. first of all, congress is not in session to people like phil and you and others will not be chasing him down in hallways. >> lucky them. >> and too they're not eager to inject themselves to a third tweet on the sunt. and the only african-american republican in the house saw them as these type of tweets as fundamentally different as the go-back and i respect his point of view. but i think republicans that i talked to on this, certainly baltimore had its share of problems, that's undeniable, in the last three or so mayors have not been up to par, so to speak. what president trump is doing is members of congress are not mares. he's not proposing a new answer.

rick scott appointed him to serve as the chair of the marjory stoneman douglas high school public safety commission. >> good morning. thank you for the opportunity to appear today and share some thoughts about school safety. for the last 60 months, i chaired the public safety commission. we submitted a 500 page report to the legislature regarding what happened on february 14, 2018. we made recommendations on how to approve -- improve school safety. it's debatable whether the incident was entirely avoidable. what is not debatable is whether the horror could of been mitigated. the shooting did not have to be as bad as it was. in three were shot minutes and 51 seconds and building 12 of the campus. shot in onehose minute and 44 seconds on the first floor alone. mr. intervention opportunities, ineffective safety on this part of the school, and an ineffective law enforcement response contributed to the tragedy. public schools do not have an active shooter response policy. there had been no active shooter drills on the campus in the year before the shooting. hour ofd been only one training for

saying they would rather take a pass, people like mitt romney and senator josh hawley and senator rick scottsaying we cannot put pen to paper and sign off on this. the center for freedom and prosperity's dan mitchell, you know, you think about it, they have a right to be anxious because of the precedent it sets but it's not unusual. this has been going on forever, right? >> well, the best fiscal policy legislation we have had this century was the budget control act in 2011. the bad news is, in 2013, 2015, 2018 and now in 2019, politicians keep moving the goalpost to allow more spending. this by the way is just discretionary spending which is the least of our problems. we also have the giant entitlement programs that are going to swallow up our future. it's very hard not to be depressed and i applaud any republican senator who still has a shred of fiscal responsibility to oppose this turkey. neil: you know, what's odd to me, though, they will always justify, well, we are getting clos to an election year. well, you know, the moon is out. well, you know, it's hot. you always come up with a vari

rick scott featured it in a campaign, vowing to serve as a steward of the environment. this year they characterized it as real requiring increased resiliency efforts in concrete solutions. if youmi herald has that want to read that for yourself. martina, massachusetts, independent. caller: thanks. i want to go back to those comments earlier about overpopulation and the environment. investing in the poor, can help with that rate. most developed countries have birthrates of 1.7%. the least developed have 4.3%. when you get people out of poverty, they have fewer children. that helps with overpopulation. everything is connected. when we talk about environment, we need to look at it from every single point of view. host: the illegal conduct server -- the league of conservative voters saying without the acknowledgment of this as a threat, his record on the environment can only be described as a total failure. under this president, we have seen 80 rollbacks on everything from the clean power plan, pesticides, enforcement of environmental law, down more than 80% on his watch, a

. >> governor rick scott comes on this program often. >> he does. >> he says thank you new york city,ey, thank you for sending us all of your rich people to my state you are helping me kevin, does -- do taxes factor in to where you operate? >> absolutely. not only where i personally operate, but where i put my investment dollar because i want to be in places where i keep more of the dollars to reinvest in the business. i personally believe that one-third of every dollar given to any government anywhere is completely wasted. when you let the entrepreneur invest it back into the economy, that's how you create jobs that's why this whole idea -- i love it when you get the billionaires on here particularly that facebook guy who says that everyone should be taxed into oblivion. nothing is stopping hip from giving his wealth back to the government and he can get a hot dog stand in new york to start all again. >> i'm going to argue that's a specious argument. >> why can't he write a check? >> it doesn't -- if you believe that we need - >> in the meantime - >> if you believe we need more reven

senator rick scott saying it is not worth engaging twitter trolls like the new york times opinion sectionhe asks his followers to retweet if they agree america is the greatest country in the world and asking them to reply with why they believe it. some other responses as well this week. we will show you more of those as we continue to get your opinions on this gallup poll on american pride hitting a new low. the other response from the conservative heritage foundation, this was their response to that new york times video. capitalism has done more to lift people out of poverty than any other system in history. free markets have cut the global poverty rate by two thirds, just more of the responses from that new york times video. you continue to call in in this first hour of the washington journal. of oregon, you are up next. caller: yes, good morning. vietnam combat veteran and i was proud to serve my time and i a long was very proud of my service even though it was an unpopular .ar, it seemed just at the time -- the obama administration for 8 years, it i havesioned me and always voted demo

i want to recognize the leadership and support on this issue by representing scott, davis scott, rick allen on this committee and chairman bishop on the agricultural appropriations subcommittee. on behalf of my fellow producers, our families and the rural communities across the southeast where agriculture is the backbone of the local economies, i implore congress and administration to resolve the remaining differences to ensure a disaster bill is passed this month. the 2018 farm bill provides a strong foundation for farm safety net, but these policies are not equipped to adequately respond to the losses when catastrophic natural disasters hit. coupled with the lost exports due to ongoing trade disputes, it is clear that supplemental assistance is needed across the agriculture sector for producers to withstand the economic pressures we are facing. the china trade dispute with tariffs on cotton are increasingly harming our industry. u.s. cotton market share in china is down 75% while brazil has quadrupled its market share. farmers cannot continue to withstand the economic impact of the

scott. let's get over to rick santelli for the santelli exchange. >> good morning, and thank you you know, on course, everybody's talking about the fed, what they may do, but maybe even more importantly what they may say about what they will do or what they're considering doing. we've talked about it a lot. today i want to talk about one of the markets that's going to be active, of course, when the statement and the quarter point most likely arrives in the the e 10-year note yields. i call this average trading and 10-year yields i'm not talking about average as in c as a grade but the averaging process. technical anal sirks like everything in the marketplace, has gone high tech whether you talk about statistical probabilities of certain patterns like kensho or just traditional technical analysis, whether it's gan nrks elliott, wave, moving averages, it's gone deep into the computer and algorithms and it's a process that's almost automated. when things get automated they change a bit very important levels known by the computers. many systems end up at similar points of support and resistance i

rick perry was the first and 10 days later, scott walker and maddowland poofed our way through the republicanmary. poof! poof! poof! with rachel out, i have the honor of poofing the first candidate. eric swalwell announced he is ending his presidential campaign. he will focus on his reelection bid as he looks to serve a fifth term in congress. that massive primary field got one person smaller. as a result eric swalwell is going bye-bye from the big board. three, two, one. poof! there he goes. there have been three major changes in the 2020 race. the first as we showed you is the field as narrowed for the time being. the second is that senator elizabeth warren turned into a massive fund-raising haul in the second quarter despite holding no fund-raisers. she announced the campaign brought in $19 million over the past three months. that's quite a bit more than the other candidate, making big polling moves this week and kamala harris made $12 million. it puts senator warren ahead of bernie sanders, the only others to have spurned closed door fund-raisers. warren brought in more than sander this i
