there's no obvious negative with tim kaine. i think he would say that the so-called boring factor which he embraced and i have had other democratic operatives say they don't see that as a downside. that might be good for hillary clinton. we don't want to get too far ahead of the process. she has several people to consider. but tim kaine certainly has a lot to offer. >> and he's irish. let me ask colleen the same question. you think he's still the favorite? chris cillizza put him at the top of the list again today. >> he has a lot working in his favor. not least of which is the fact that hillary clinton is comfortable with him. in talking with people who are close to this process, they say that at the end of the day hillary clinton is going to want to choose someone she considers a partner, someone she actually likes being around, and they have an existing relationship. she feels comfortable working with him. also, people close to clinton talk about the fact that at this point, the race could certainly shift over the coming week

tim kaine does seem safe.w it's like -- i don't know about the castro thing. >> elizabeth warren by the way, elizabeth warren, i think the "new york times" eviscerated her lack of -- she's not a very transparent person with the press. she runs away from the press actively. >> the administration doesn't like her. >> hillary clinton gets criticized for being inaccessible. elizabeth warren would make her look like the most accessible president since andrew jackson. >> you know chuck, i also think that if the republicans need a way to unify, and they quite clearly do, and donald trump is struggling with it hillary clinton is helpful in that regard to donald trump. elizabeth warren on the ticket is even more helpful because those are the two people that republicans hate the most. you put them on the ticket, the other thing i would say, where is a problem donald trump had raising money. wall street major donors. who hates elizabeth warren more than -- i mean, you talk to any wall street type and you mention a name e

if a woman says i don't know if i'm qualified, that is actually really different thing than a tim kainethis exact same thing about kaine. >> different genders will read the answer different. >> here's the deal about elizabeth. when she was running for the senate, i think a lot of people in the democratic party thought she couldn't win. a lot of political reporters said she couldn't win. she's one of the most extraordinarily talented campaigners and her ability to connect with people and she can connect with people all across this country. she and tim kaine good possibilities. both would bring different things to the ticket. i have to say in terms of elizabeth warren that her campaign skills are actually some of the best of anybody in the party. >> i think if she has an issue it's interesting, we talk about relationships with the media and the assumption is republican candidates had this bad relationship with the press. candidates, there are some candidates who enjoy the press and some who don't. she can't stand the press. she makes it utterly clear. >> i think most candidates, at this p

is it a possible problem for tim kaine?ainly be on the need to study and give more consideration to list at the same time, you've got a very prominent current governor of virginia, terry mcauliffe and he is a strong add vericate for tim kaine to be moved into that position and governor mcauliffe saying he doesn't think the courts need to go and examine his predecessor the republican, bob mcdonald, any longer. so the issue of gifts is potent politically and certainly something being talked about with tim kaine. as you know, kate, there are several good choices for hillary clinton. and when i say good, those who might bring some additional qualities to the ticket or gee graphing abilities. things like that. and just from here in the senate. so you've got sharon brown of ohio. strong progressive. ohio, ohio, ohio. and elizabeth warren who made a big splash when she campaigned with hillary clinton. it is a question about how will hillary clinton make her decision, what factors will come into that wab th, that is close held insi

tim kaine was a governor. and as governor, our national guards played an unexpected but very significant role in "operation enduring freedom" and "operation iraqi freedom." but it's very hard to find a candidate who has exactly the type of experience that's necessary to be commander in chief. you learn on the job. some people are more qualified by their experience level than others. but it's very difficult to find someone who fits the exact bill. >> let me ask you about a conference call that scott brown had earlier today with reporters hitting elizabeth warren and this event echoing some of what we heard from donald trump. he accused elizabeth warren of reverse racism, saying that she has native american roots and that she essentially made that up. he went so far as to call on her to get a dna test. could this be an effective line of attack, and how do you anticipate the clinton campaign is going to respond? >> i think it's absolutely ludicro ludicrous. we'll have dna test for our presidential candidates? goo

senator tim kaine: i don't think we need it. i refuse to believe that the american public is demons traably worse so i've never been a supporter. but when i ran for office, you know, i tell you, steve, i ran to be governor. what i did i put my hand on the bible and would say i uphold the law. the law in virginia is that the death penalty can be the ultimate punishment. if it's imposed by the jury, if it's up held by a judge and if it's up held by a court. i grapple with it but i'm going take an oath to uphold the law. and remember i lived in the society where there wasn't a rule of law where i saw what it was like where the rules did whatever they wanted regardless of the law. and i knew that was a bad system. what i told virginians, i'm against the death penalty but i'll uphold the law. there were numerous people on death row when i was governor. if all of their appeals went through without them being given relief and if they applied to me for cleanse si i would look at their petition but only in the instance me thinking that t

i have $75 on tim kaine.s all the boxes, governor, senator, mayor, speaks spanish and from virginia. how you can beat that $20 on julian castro still in the mix. hispanic thing is a box checking exercise, i think but takes away from her experience. senator elizabeth warren who is campaigning with her on monday. progressive dream but i don't think she would ever be chosen. >> charles? >> tim kaine and a couple of lefties. [ laughter ] >> what are you screwing with me today? okay. i have got to say i kind of agree with you on tim kaine. >> wow. that was really. >> the fact that we all have him as a lead means it almost certainly won't happen. >> let's do the republicans. >> we need bret. bret, come back. >> i have got $20 on bob corker. he is my front runner. then 10 on newt gingrich. jeff sessions. tim scott, john thune and $10 on mike flynn, the former head of the defense intelligence agency if trump wants to go with a national security candidate. >> there is somebody out in the newsroom you haven't put money

look, donald just -- >> my theory is democrats leaked this story, perhaps even tim kaine. re going to appoint him vice president. >> a spokesperson tells "hardball" during his eight years as lieutenant governor and governor, senator kaine went beyond the requirements of virginia law, even publicly disclosing gifts of value beneath the reporting threshold. hes confident he met both the letter and spirit of virginia's ethical standards. are virginia's ethical standards good enough? >> no. >> okay. let's talk about christie. he's involved with the bridge scandal. we beat the hell out of it here. everybody on this network and everyone else beat the hell out of it. he started off by saying oh, yeah, i'm the guy that went out and put the cones out to stop the traffic. but it's a fact, they stopped traffic to make some kind of political message to somebody they didn't like or tried to squeeze some mayor in fort lee. is he still the credible candidate for vice president? >> i recently spoke to a trump aide who is urging against a christie appointment. but told me that christie's in

do know tim kaine they would help mrs. clinton shore up constituency support. john: who do you think would be the best buys presidential pick for hillary clinton -- vice presidential pick for heller clinton? viceould be the best -- presidential pick for hillary clinton? >> i think tim kaine and cory booker and elizabeth warren certainly drive the party. mark: we asked about the republican brand in our poll. 32% said they had a favorable view. 62% unfavorable. his donald trump -- is donald trump helping or hurting? >> he is changing the brand. it is hurting a little bit. , i'm of therun feeling that he is bringing new people and new excitement to the republican party. it is a party that has been a little confused through the primary process. ande is a clarity there whether the establishment likes the clarity or not, we will see how it turns out. we played donald trump saying today, basically, i may have to go it alone here. republican leaders should just be quiet. is that a sensible strategy or way of looking at the world? >> it probably would not have been my a

clinton's short list for vp is said to include virginia senator tim kaine and julio castro as well asarren. sanders lack of endorsement of still causing some problems for the democrats. on friday, he said he would vote for her but refused to endorse her. >> are you going to vote for hillary clinton in november? >> yes, yeah, i think the issue right here is i'm going to do everything i can to defeat donald trump. >> why have you not endorsed her? >> i haven't heard her say the things that need to be said. >> joining us, senior correspondent and producer at vox and the head of new york state's democratic party and former senior aide to hillary clinton. basil, this event tomorrow has a lot of folks getting hopes up about a clinton/warren ticket. any chance at all? >> there's a good chance. i would say it's not dissquall tie fiing that there are two women on the ticket. elizabeth warren has been great in attacking donald trump. you talked about bernie sanders and his supporters, in terms of bringing sanders supporters over to hillary and reengage them in this general election, i think she

you, on your short list, let's talk about the democrats first, you have on your list, i believe, tim kaineshaird brown, but not elizabeth warren. question there as to why not, why not elizabeth warren and my friend, chris, you've got kaine, castro, warren, brown, and broussard. why don't you think warren or perhaps you've changed your mind after watching the two of them today? >> you know elizabeth warren gave a terrific speech with hillary clinton and did hillary clinton a lot of good. elizabeth warren a lot of good and help kind of reclaim the progressive mantle that bernie sanders has been holding over the last couple months with his campaign. but this does not really change my assessment that she is not a likely vice presidential pick, not impossible that she would be chosen, but i think in terms of, you know, kind of the demands of the job, which requires you to be -- to take a secondary slot, not always speak your mind as vice president's discover sometimes to their disappointment, and also just the politics of it. i think there are other things that hillary clinton could do with tha

tim kaine has this. my question for you, how does this flap compare to the likely political problems that come with pretty much any running mate choice? >> if this is the worst thing in tim kaine's vetting file, he will be picked. it is a reminder that everyone has this. i think if i was tim kaine, the main thing i would be concerned about is where did this story come from. i don't think politico found it on their own. so the question is, did it come from a rival democrat, did it come from a republican, was it a float by the clinton folks. it's a little concerning. i would be concerned. >> it all depends if there's any other stuff. right now, 100% i agree with you. if you compare not just bridgegate for christie but the things that we reported on that are in his history, that were problematic for him getting selected by romney that gave the romney people second and third pause, right, this is small stake stuff. it is i think -- i think there are more vetting problems with a lot of the people trump is con

also to be on the short list, hou julian castro and tim kaine of virginia.gressman becerra. he's going to join us live on "new day", at 8:00 a.m. >>> a last-gasp effort to get a gun measure through the senate seems to be dead on arrival. now democrats claim collins' bill doesn't go fast enough. others blast it from the other side saying it's unconstitutional. >> reporter: susan collins trying to push for a bipartisan deal, having influential senators on her side about trying to close the so-called terror loophole. in other words, people who are on that no-fly list, preventing them from getting guns. she has lindsey graham on the right, and people on the left like tim kaine of virginia. but what susan collins does not have are numbers. because republicans have a lot of concerns over this bill, particularly leadership, republican leaders do not believe it goes far enough in entrusting constitutional concerns, due process concerns. and democratic leaders are worried it does not have teeth, that it would not do enough to crackdown on suspected terrorists. then y

>> tim kaine is out of central casting. he checks more of the so-called conventional wisdom boxes than any other. he has been a governor, executive, swing state. and he is considered a very loyal party member. not someone that makes a lot of gaffes on television. a very safe pick. but that is the con with him. the idea that he won't excite any new constituency group. that he won't target and fire up some specific group that clinton wants fired up. so i think it comes down is what is more important to her, a spark for november, if that is what she needs, she will not pick tim kaine, or if she is looking for a partner to govern with if is that is the main criteria, he could be the man that we see getting that nomination. >> we will see, we appreciate your insight, chuck. >> looking forward to the show as well. chuck will sit down with paul manafort. it all comes this morning at nbc 10. >> i'm keith jones. coming up this morning, bob casey. we will ask him about the gun control fight on capitol hill and much more. following "m

senator tim kaine: my dad ran a welding shop. it was seven employees plus my mother and my two brothers and me. they would make bicycle frames. ornamental ire ron work balconies. kanter levers. would buy k that you in a retail store. and get up early before it got hot. my dad was a great business guy. he taught us that his business acumen would put his kids through work. they were unionized iron workers that put my brothers an my through school. it was a wonderful place to learn about hard work, and excellence, and you know, you have to be a team if you're going to be successful. my dad taught me a lot of good values through that business. brian: what did you learn about iron works? senator tim kaine: i took a year off to work with missionaries in honduras and i just volunteers to come help. i landed there. taking a year off of school without knowing what to do. they said harvard law school, they has precisely zero relevance. but he said didn't your dad do something in our sflead he said you're going to run our vocational school.

along with them, tim kaine. moments ago, and emotional tim kaine spoke about the virginia tech massacre when he was governor. >> that was the worst day of my life and will always be the worst day of my life. alison: roz plater is live with the very latest on all of this. roz: the filibuster began during debate over an appropriations bill. democrats are asking for an amendment that would require background checks. connecticut senator chris murphy began the filibuster in late in the morning, vowing to keep talking as long as necessary to force the senate to take action on gun violence, although it is not clear if any measure would pass. murphy said the families from the sandy hook elementary school who lost their pilots -- gun violence prevention groups held a fundraiser in d.c. tonight. vice president biden said he would continue to fight for commonsense gun control balls, even though it seems incredible they are still fighting the fight. it was theent biden: saddest day of our entire administration, that day, ta

i have $75 on tim kaine.rnor, senator, mayor, speaks spanish and from virginia. how you can beat that $20 on julian castro still in the mix. hispanic thing is a box checking exercise, i think but takes away from her experience. senator elizabeth warren who is campaigning with her on monday. progressive dream but i don't think she would ever be chosen. >> charles? >> tim kaine and a couple of lefties. [ laughter ] >> what are you screwing with me today? okay. i have got to say i kind of agree with you on tim kaine. >> wow. that was really. >> the fact that we all have him as a lead means it almost certainly won't happen. >> let's do the republicans. >> we need bret. bret, come back. >> i have got $20 on bob corker. he is my front runner. then 10 on newt gingrich. jeff sessions. tim scott, john thune and $10 on mike flynn, the former head of the defense intelligence agency if trump wants to go with a national security candidate. >> there is somebody out in the newsroom you haven't put money on. in any case, dav

>> i think tim kaine is a smart pick. he also knows how to speak spanish.s so he will bring -- he's not a hispanic, but he will bring appeal towards hispanics. >> ten seconds, kayleigh. who would you pick? >> i would pick castro. she has a millennial problem. she needs some youth and vitality and that would do that. >> great job. thank you so much. >>> coming up later, meet the libertarian presidential candidate, presidential ticket at the cnn libertarian town hall with gary johnson and william weld live wednesday night at 9:00 p.m. >>> three plane tickets to california for a trip in july. that's what law enforcement now says the orlando terrorist purchased the day before he carried out the worst terror attack since 9/11. the big hilton world sale is on honors members save up to 25% on brands like hampton, doubletree, hilton garden inn, and waldorf astoria so stop clicking around. book direct at hilton.com now that's satisfaction. >>> coming up later, meet the purchased the day before he i sleep extremely hot. i wake up and i just feel like sticky. have the

tim kaine who has been the subject of beltway conversation.y could he shore up the man vote for hillary clinton, he could also shore up another important swing state, virginia. he's a united states senator from a state with a democratic governor, meaning a clinton ally would actually pick his replacement which could help democrats not only win over some men in november but also hold on to that or grab that senate majority. now let's listen to perhaps the other side of tim kaine. he's not somebody who excites the base. when he was governor of virginia, he governed as a somewhat moderate to conservative personally pro-life and a lot of things that might not excite the liberal part of the democratic base. however, this guy is the subject of a lot of beltway speculation. he's a beltway favorite. let's listen to him talking about whether he has been vetted for hillary clinton's veep. >> have you been contacted by the campaign about it? >> i am playing one role and only one role for the clinton campaign right now, trying to help her win virginia. if

you have to wonder what tim kaine thought of this. he cannot light up a room like this, no doubt about it. but he certainly could be a safer pick. >> jeff zeleny covering this democratic rally in cincinnati. it's been such a jam-packed, news-filled morning. let's recap one of the other big events from just a few minutes ago, and that is the u.s. supreme court striking down in a 5-3 ruling, striking down texas laws which would have impoelgsed further restrictions on abortion clinics and, jeff toobin and jonathan turley are with me in studio as well. jeff, this really shows how much justice anthony kennedy is really the story of the supreme court in the session. >> anthony kennedy has been the swing justice, the pivot on which this court turns for two decades. it is really a remarkable story. we saw it earlier this week, last week, when he wrote the opinion upholding texas, the university of texas' affirmative action program. and here in an even bigger landmark decision, the most important abortion rights case, abortion rights victory s

that's why i think tim kaine is a great selection because she's comfortable with him.look at what's going to happen in pennsylvania, you may see scott brown, former senator from massachusetts who really would bring in kind of that perfect casting for donald trump. he will be able to take that pickup truck, go down and really i think get a lot of conservative democrats support. he was also the first senator, former or current, to endorse donald trump before the new hampshire primary. i think that loyalty will matter to donald trump. >> alex, can i make a suggestion for the republicans? >> sure. >> ted cruz. >> are you taking it seriously, susan? >> i don't see how it happening. i see why he's saying that. >> i think the governor was being his usual charming sell. ed and susan, thank you. >> thank you. >> outrage looets leads to action. what's in today's newspaper leads to volume in calls for the judge's removal. that's next. so i need nutrition... that won't weigh me down. for the nutrition you want without the calories you don't... try boost® 100 calories. each delicio

and tim kaine is obviously qualified. he's a governor. he's been a governor. he's been -- he's a senator. he's run the dnc. he's been vetted. there are other people, too. sharon brown, elizabeth warren, secretary castro. one thing with tim kaine though that is a benefit for him is that if he were selected, he would be -- the person who would replace him would be a democratic governor. in ohio, for example, that is the governor there is a republican. they would replace it with a republican senator. so when you're looking at the balance of power in the senate, you know, ideally harry reid is going to wouldn't someone who is selected that will be appointed by a democratic governor. >> yeah, no doubt politics is always a factor in making the zig decisions. rich, for the trump campaign some of the top choices and names bounced around are senator thune, rick scott, bob corker and, of course in, new jersey, governor chris christie. who does trump choose and what might his announcement look like in terms who have he's going after? >> he said earlier on in the campaign

>> outside of lis lelizabeth wa shrod brown and tim kaine. brown sin the battleground state of ohio and you know, sthey hav a good relationship. he's one of the best known progressives. they could choose him. i think the only drawback with senator brown is because he is from the state of ohio they are afraid of losing that state if they give up the senate seat. the other name tim kaine that comes to mind he is a good choice because he has executive experience as governor but also has foreign policy experience as senator. i think the only drawback now is he is the safe pick for them, that he's more of an establishment candidate. that might not be good in this election when it might have in the past. >> phillip, in one of your latest articles i'm looking at you write about trump's poll numbers slipping. that's each before the democrats started uniting. what did you find and what does this foretell for trump? >> this is based on the fox news poll, you had a graphic earlier. what happened is over the last month donald trump's support dropped 6 po

and of course terry mcauliffe is a governor, so if tim kaine were to leave the senate, he would likely why that is so important, because even in a state like massachusetts, if governor charlie baker, a republican, were to choose a republican to replace elizabeth warren, even for a short term, why is that so critical? because the first 100 days of a hillary clinton administration would be critical for her to accomplish as much as possible. and that is 100 days that you don't want to see from the democrats' point of view a republican in a blue state when the margin would be so close anyway. so it's so important to look at where is a potential running mate from and what would the implications of them being out of their current job be. that's a part of the calculations. >> a lot of calculations taking place right now. kellry oy o'donnell, mark murra thanks so much. again, rachel maddow tonight at 9:00 that is when elizabeth warren will officially endorse hillary clinton. >>> josh lipton with the cnbc market wrap. >> u.s. stocks closed lower nurse. that amid a pull back in oil prices. dow f

chris christie has bridge gate, and tim kaine has this.ow is this compared to the likely political problems that come with any running mate choice? if this is the worst thing in tim kaine's vetting file -- if i were him, i would be concerned about, where did this story come from? i don't think "politico" found it on their own. was it from a rival democrat, a republican? i would be concerned. john: i 100% agree with you. not just bridge gate for christie, but other things in his history were problematic for him to be selected by the romney people. i think there are more vetting problems with the people trump is considering than the people clinton is considering. but the knives are out on both sides. republicans are going to try to take out everybody on clinton's shortlist. surprise, theyit do have an explanation for a lot of this stuff. it shows you in this populist age, it is a problem. a few years ago this would not have been a problem, but now it does not look great. we have debated which donald trump poll numbers one should pay attentio

others is corey booker and virginia tim kain. and housing sharon brown and julianne castro of texas. noticeably absent is bernie sanders. he is not vetted for v, and he had a nice meeting with clinton, but listen to what he said two days later. >> election days come and g. political and social revolutions never end. that's what the campaign has been be over the past year. and what the political revolution is about and why the political revolution must continue in the future. >> reporter: bernie sanders is saying he will stay in the race all the way to the convention. >> tell us about clinton's big news off of the campaign trail. >> this is happy news. chelsea gave birth to a baby boy, named aiden. we are all over the move as chelsea and mark welcome charlotte's brother to the world. trump's daughter ivanka gave birth to a baby boy. this is a busy year for babies on the campaign trail. >> thank you. >>> on a somer note, tonight is one week since the night club terrorist attack that left 49 people dead. they are questioning a man w

i had senator tim kaine on. i did the interview earlier today.hile he doesn't talk about it directly, he doesn't pretend it's not out there. we talk about his preparation to be president. his world view on syria, on brexit. i do it almost as a job interview of sorts. >> interesting. >> for sunday. i think folks will enjoy it. >> thank you, chuck. >> there is a lot of nuance in says about the vp speculation on "meet the press" this sunday at 10:30: in the morning. >>> a mother delivering a powerful message to her son's killer in court. >>> parents are worried about their student it's our new intern, bart's first week here at td bank, he's a robot from one of those other banks. we're training him to bank human. i am banking assistance & registration technology. wait, wait, wait. but you can call me, banking assistance & registration technology. hi amy. thank you. thank you. that is not protocol manager jenna. that's ok bart, it is here. at td bank we do things differently, like having the longest hours of any bank. do
