number two, her picking tim scott was best for me. got to watch you run state wide and watch you show up at barbecues and in towns i was not aware of were in the state. it's exhausting. and you have to raise a lot of money. i knew that if she picked someone like me or mick there would be others that ran the next time it was open. i'm not going to clear the field. once you run and are contested primary twice, i didn't want to do it. i didn't like being gone representing 16 of the state. i surely do not want to be gone having all the responsibilities that you had. you're expected to be in two places at the same time. it was best for the state that has been validated. but you also need to know what your strengths and weaknesses are. i would not have been a good senator. >> i am blessed to serve in the senate. there is no question in anyone's mind that he would've been a fantastic senator had he desired to do it. for reasons on notes does he decided that wasn't in his best interest. trays had the worst assignments in the house. and to fin

and i know you had a chance to talk about jeff sessions with a republican senator, tim scott, who is going to be in your show tonight. let me get a quick preview. >> here's the truth, the president should have a cabinet that he's confident in and comfortable with. when that is not the case, it is his right to replace those individuals. what would i do if i were president is a different question than what do i think president trump will do? i think president trump has been pretty clear what he plans to do. i think jeff sessions has been a good, consistent attorney general. so for me to pretend that i have any skin in the game and any ability to persuade the president to do or not do something is not true. so i'm going to focus on what the president can do and is it legal and ethical and moral, i think it absolutely is. i think the mueller investigation has to be finished before the president does anything with jeff sessions. and if that is his -- if that is his prerogative after the mueller investigation is complete, that is his prerogative. >> and the republicans used to be so quick

we'll be joined by two key senators, virginia democrat tim kaine and south carolina republican tim scott. plus charlottesville mayor nikuyah walker and have a conversation about race with author and historian jon meacham, black lives matter activist deray mckesson. former white supremacist christian pick and cbs political analyst jamelle bouie. all ahead on "face the nation." good morning and welcome to "face the nation." right now all is quiet in lafayette square, streets around the white house are closed and police are preparing for protests later today. both unite the right and counter protesters have permits to march. we traveled to richmond late last week and talked with virginia democrat senator tim kaine at the city's black history and cultural center of virginia about race. and how virginia and the country are recovering one year after charlottesville. you have said that virginia has a lot of scar tissue when it comes to race. but it feels on many of these issues that it's very much an open wound. who has actually changed since charlottesville? >> i think what has changed is char

alex, your thoughts. >> i would hate to be republican and having to defend the president on this, tim scotts smarter than that. when you have someone with a career that has relationships around the world like john brennan, he brings incredible amount of insight, if you're still at cia, you're still with national security council and you want to ask brennan his thoughts on what's going on, he needs to know what's going on, he needs to have the clearance so you have a discussion with him because people like him make the country much safer because of their knowledge, because of the relationships. mike: what about those who make the argument the president is using clearance as weapon or trying to silence john brennan's criticism, what about that? >> he's admit today that. that's the admission to wall street journal, reports about that washington post as well. the president has the power to use classified clearance processes to revoke or grant but when it does it this way undermines who we are as country, national security is the most important thing. president trump could legally strip democrat

now senator tim scott is defending the president and saying, look, he has taken in the senator's words better direction. he siz this is a positive step in the right direction. do you agree with senator scott? >> i agree with actions. senator scott can say you know, those things and about the president of the united states but i can tell you -- i can tweet out whatever i want but my actions are what's going to speak louder. and a lot of the things he's done, not only towards muslim americans but also towards my latino neighbors and african-american neighbors in my district, i can tell you that this president has felt -- we have felt the sense of -- that it's us versus them, this kind of feeling that maybe because of being a child of immigrants or being somebody that is african-american in our country, that somehow we get all of these other lashbels that makes us so-called less american. that's how we've been feeling with this president. i can tell you it's been very much a very much a passion of mine to continue showing people, not only through my election but uplifting other women runn

it required republican voices like tim scott and others to really encourage him to make a more definitive statement about what happened there. how do you explain that? how do you allow for it, especially given the fact that you're african-american and you're someone that supports the president? >> how do i allow for what? >> the fact he wasn't unequivocal in the denouncement. >> if we're all going to be accurate and fact julual, it is fact yule factual to say that the president -- >> but what about the specifics -- >> the facts are, he has done it. so whether or not you like the timing, whether or not you like the fact it wasn't within seconds or a milisecond, the facts are he did to it. he did tweet about it yesterday in terms of once again denouncing hatred and violence, specifically going back to charlottesville. as an african-american, as an american first of all, i think the president did the right thing. i think it's disingenuous for anyone to go ahead and say that, oh, he used a script or that somebody wrote for him. i've had the honor of working in a white house, and i know for a

margaret brennan's guests will include senators tim kaine and tim scott -- and the mayor of charlottesvillenikuyah walker. u.s. officials are still trying to reunite as many as 386 children who were separated from their parents at the border under president trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy. their parents have been deported -- but officials say they have been able to reach most of them. officials meanwhile are investigating the death of a child recently released from the nation's largest immigration detention center in dilley, texas. here's mireya villarreal. >> reporter: cbs news has confirmed the texas department of family and protective services is actively investigating the death of a migrant child shortly after her release from the south texas family residential center in dilley. attorneys for the child's mother cite "neglect and unsanitary conditions" as possible factors. we were given a rare look inside the detention center that only houses mothers and children. right now more than 1500 are staying here. but the facility has room for up to 2400. as soon as you get past the

for this and more, i want to talk to senator tim scott.ws, democrats are no doubt going to use all of this to pay republicans as the party of corruption. how can the party depend itself against that? >> there are a number of individuals on the other side of the aisle that have their own problems with law enforcement and integrity, so i'm not going to jump into that lake because there's not much that will be accomplished by throwing dirt either way. i will say that we have had perhaps most productive congress in the three decades. if you're lolooking for progres further than what we're finishing in august. nine out of 12 of the proep ration bills we've appointed. one eighth of all circuit court judges, historic tax reform. regulatory reform done. there's no question from policy perspective, we are looking at the most productive congress in three decade. >> yeah k i want to talk to you about policy. for sure in a minute. let me just, of course. it's important to me, too. but let me just go back a little bit. with that sort of a what aboutism

jon: senator tim scott also shared some thoughts on this, republican from south carolina. listen to this. >> we're fighting over whether or not he has it or we're taking it. the question how is america safer because he has it? if the answer is there really isn't a good answer for that -- for that question, then why does he have it? if there's not a good answer to that question, then taking it away seems plausible and logical. >> democrats say they want to introduce legislation that would prevent the president from doing this but that doesn't have a chance of going anywhere in a republican controlled senate. >> exactly. it's political stunt obviously on their side. what it really is is the president is the ultimate classification authority. any information in the united states government, he can declassify or classify at his request. there's a reason that we've invested our commander-in-chief with such broad-based authority. now, you know, the president's critics are saying that he is silencing john brennan here, but as we saw, you know, john brennan came out and wrote an o

we caught up with senator tim scott, the republican senator here 15 miles down the road. i asked him that question, is there urgency. this is what he told us. >> i told the president my concerns about tariffs going forward and it hasn't changed so to the extent that we can find a way to help alleviate some of those concerns long term by eliminating future tariffs i think is a spot on good thing to do. >> you said the administration had suggested nafta would be negotiated by april. there was an urgency to this. >> yeah. that's something that the administration is going to have to recognize. >> do you think they understand that urgency? >> i think they do. >> reporter: i asked the senator that question about urgency because now this trade war has been going on for five months. frankly when we're talking about china, it's chinese goods. the supplies that come here the company here uses to make those televisions. so where do these tariffs go? that's the question there has not been much of an answer from from this white house. larry kudlow said on friday there's conversations

i want to note actually just down the road here yesterday, tim scott was here and i asked him the veryuestion saying what have you done on behalf of this community that is -- that is feeling very much of a sense of urgency to have this done. he says he's communicated the message to the white house and the exemptions are needed and trade war needs to come to a halt. does the white house understand that urgency? he said i think so. >> we're out of time. are these trump voters? how did that go with last election? >> this community is very democratic community. a large african-american population. and the employees we talked to yesterday that told us they were specifically told by the company to not speak out and we've seen president trump directed his companies harley davidson one of those for example, president trump said about harley davidson when they spoke out about the tariffs, said they were waving the white flag of surrender. >> thanks so much. we'll be right back. >> in the summer of 2018, shepler's was getting complaints from all sides, from customers to local officials, they did
