so, there's a strong history of united states senators demanding the resignation and forcing the resignationrs who have not even been charged with a crime. as hard as it is for united states senator to be indicted, this is robert menendez's second time. he got a hung jury at his first federal criminal trial. that means, some voters voted guilty and some non guilty. he got a hung jury in 2018, democrats treated him as if he had been found innocent, as if he had been completely exonerated, as if he had done absolutely nothing wrong. there is no such thing as a finding of innocence in american courtrooms by juries. cory booker, immediately embraced his new jersey colleague publicly when the menendez jury became a hung jury. will he do that if donald trump gets a hung jury? will every democratic senator, who fully embraced robert mean that this is after he got a hung jury publicly come out and do the sink if donald trump gets a hung jury in florida or a hung jury in georgia or a hung jury in washington, d. c.? if donald trump gets one juror to vote not guilty while every other juror is voting gu

little help, please. >> tommy tuberville is the mos disgraceful current member o the united states senateby the very worst collection o senators since the las segregationist left th building tommy tuberville is widely regarded now within the senate as possibly the stupides senator in the chamber now, wh has never previously had t contemplate anything mor complicated than diagramming a football play. when i think of the senators mindless cruelty, i think of m mother's younger sister mary who married an irish guy fro brooklyn, whose father was a construction worker, but who somehow made it to west poin and made a career in the arm picking up combat decoration in world war ii and in the korean war and working his way all the wa up to the rank of general. i think of my aunt mar anticipating those promotion that came right on schedule, without the slightest pause, right through the united state senate confirmation process. that was then invisible. i don't think it was until m second year in working in th senate that i realized tha military promotions at the higher levels are confirmed by the u

he's the first united states senator to deal with two separate indictments while serving in the united states senate. you have to wonder if that adds to the laundry list of reasons why their may be calls for him to step down from his position, as opposed to stepping down from his position on the senate foreign relations committee. he's not necessarily stepping down from the foreign relations committee out of the goodness of his heart. it's a rule as part of the senate caucus. if you're under indictment, you cannot serve as the chair of a committee. not only is he doing it -- maybe it is voluntarily, but it's something he would be compelled to do as a result of the senate rules. >> and something he did last time he was indicted. >> reporter: that's right. he's done this in the past. we should also point out, jose, that he's been defiant when it comes to these charges. he's repeatedly said he's not guilty of any crimes. the idea he may end up stepping down completely from the united states senate would be a long shot given how defiant he's been. also, that's not the trend on capitol hill

the fiscal year for the united states senate and for the united states government ends in ten days. congress, which is required to fund the government by passing appropriations bills, has not passed a single appropriations bill. ten days before the end of a fiscal year. so the obvious point is that unless congress acts to fund the government in the next ten days, the government will be without funds and large portions of the federal government will shut down. now, notwithstanding the fact that some people think maybe that's a good idea -- we're spending too much money here, so let's just shut it down. well, tell that to members of the united states military and their families. tell that to the men and women who serve bravely as members of the border patrol, customs and border protection that are responsible for processing the goods that enter into our country from our trading partners, that create millions of jobs. tell that to immigration and customs enforcement, or ice. tell them that they will have to work and not get paid. programs that support our seniors, veterans, children, a

i want to ask you about the health of members of the united states senate. there's been a lot of concern for the health of at least two senators, i'm talking about minority leader mitch mcconnell, and california senator diane feinstein. what is the conversation happening in the senate right now, senator van hollen? are you concerned? >> well, i'm not concerned, because, at the end of the day, i think all of us have to rely on the judgment of their doctors, and their doctors have all indicated they can continue to serve, finish out their terms. they both indicated they plan to finish out their terms. so, look, and these are decisions that every member has to make for him or herself, based on input from their doctors, based on input from their constituents. but, you know, the business of the senate does have to go on. senator mcconnell is right now helping to pull together that bipartisan census on the budget that we talked about. and republican leader mcconnell also supports funding to help our friends in ukraine against putin's war of aggression. so at least

and i think it's important that people understand that here in the united states senate, a place that can be so divisive at times, that true friendships actually exist. whether it is the republican leader and his wife over the years dining together, or as senator collins has stated just the very generous nature of senator feinstein sharing her works, sharing her art, sharing a purse. i still have that seer sucker suit. when we engage in dawning the seer sucker suit, mine is 20 years old, i think yours is toorks the reality is a direct reminder of the spontaneous generosity of a woman. dianne feinstein was generous, she was gracious, she was thoughtful, she was kind. there were many times when we were looking into a weekend when we were going to be here, and she being from california, me being from alaska, recognizing that probably neither one of us was going to be making it to that other coast, and she would say lisa, let's go to dinner. and sometimes we would just spontaneously make that happen. other times we would just make the plans. but that was that outreach to do so. and what s

and it was sad to see a black cloth draped across her desk, but she's the longest-serving united states senate woman in the history of the country, i had the honor to call her my senator and my friend, my roommate, senator alex padilla, when we heard about the news, we were both heartbroken, and many people in this country were heartbroken as well, because she did so many wonderful and amazing things that are too long to list. >> she obviously leaves behind a towering legacy and big shoes to fill as well, as governor gavin newsom decides on a potential replacement to fill the vacancy, what qualifications are most important quick >> someone who is thoughtful and has a servant's heart like dianne feinstein did in the appointments that gavin newsom has had the other to me, like alex padilla, a tremendous fit for california and the country, i believe that gavin newsom will do the right thing and think very thoughtfully and quickly and appoint somebody who will fill the shoes for the remainder of her term. >> look forward to having you again. >> thank you. >>> parts of new york are just getting sla

we have a bipartisan bill right now working its way through the united states senate. it will pass in a strongly bipartisan way. democrats and republicans in the senate doing the responsible thing to fund the government in a way that makes a difference for the american people. they will then send that will to the house of representatives. extreme maga republicans face a clear choice. put the bipartisan continuous resolution on the house for an up-and-down vote, and we can avoid the extreme maga republican shutdown and end this nightmare being visited on the american people by marjorie taylor greene and others, or failed to put the bipartisan continuing resolution sent over from the senate on the floor of the house for an up or down vote , because your objective apparently as extreme mega -- ma ga republicans is to shut the government down. that is there objective, unless they force the american people to absorb their draconian, extreme right wing ideology. this is a government shutdown that may occur being visited upon the american people because they want to cut social

she was so instrumental and so many bills moved through the united states senate. but i think she will best be known as a person who broke so many glass ceilings, who always was there, that was a great leader in the united states senate. one of the giants. one of the great things being in the united states senate, the people you get to serve with. and i served with people who will be known in our history books as some of the great senators of our time. dianne feinstein would be one of those. >> obviously, we're talking to you at a time of enormous gridlock on capitol hill as we face a potential shutdown. you noted the bipartisan nature of the condolences and messages of support that have been coming forward. i'm wondering what you think congress could learn from someone like dianne feinstein that garnered so much respect from both sides of the aisle. even at times of enormous acrimony. >> well, quite frankly, what we need are more dianne feinsteins that recognize civility is the way to get things accomplished. i don't know a single member of the united states senate

madam president, i'm honored to have had my first term in the united states senate coincide with dianne feinstein's time here in this senate. when i learned this morning that she had passed away, the longest serving woman in the united states senate, two words came to my mind. patience and kindness. the bible says that love is patient and kind. senator feinstein -- and i disagreed on policy much of the time but never regarding patience and kindness. dianne feinstein was unfailingly kind. she was particularly kind to other women senators. she was the first to invite other women senators to dinner, to lead our gatherings, and to focus our attention on things that are good for all americans without regard to political ideology. as someone who arrived in the senate the same week as january 6, that day set the tone for many of my first months in the u.s. senate. but that day never set the tone for my relationship with senator dianne feinstein. my conversations with her from beginning to end were unfailingly cordial and kind. particularly poignant were my observations of the relationship it s

not exactly sure how much room he has to maneuver by saying, i'm the senior latino in the united states senatei think this puts democrats in a very precarious political predicament. they've gone after donald trump under the idea donald trump would somehow sell the secrets of the united states to any highest about iter. here you have bob menendez, chairman of the foreign relations committee, essentially selling secrets to a foreign interestly, at least acting in the interests of a foreign en entity. i think democrats have to address this. >> help me understand this. sounds like you're saying, generally speaking, unless he took a vote for the egyptian government, he can accept hundreds of thousands of dollars in gold bars, he can accept $500,000 in cash, in exchange for facilitating their interests informally? almost like a lobbyist would, from the halls of the united states senate. is that what you're saying? >> don't get me wrong, i'm horrified by this -- >> i'm just asking. i think that's kind of what it sounds like you're saying. >> if you're looking at purely legalistic, it has to be offici

for example, in the united states senate we do not have the same recusal standard that they do. one can be, i don't know, a soybean farmer. or a tobacco farmer. and a member of the united states senate. you get so vote on bells related to subsidies her soybeans, or regulatory issues associated with tobacco. we do not have recusal standards there. there are other differences. but this is important to highlight. it's an important with the role that we play a breath of the row that they play. it doesn't matter, it is not adequate. all is breaking news over there. it is just not true. it is, deliberately, or at least recklessly -- i think deliberately, deceptive. look, the thing would've really played out differently if the sponsors of this legislation are truly interested in it in an even-handed way. enhancing integrity at the supreme court, there are glaring instances in which there have been activities undertaken by justices ruth bader ginsburg, justice saundra sotomayor, stephen breyer and others they raised serious questions under the rules and standards that currently exist. no

senator feinstein was also the longest serving woman in the united states senate. ure, she fought for stricter gun safety measures, especially after the assault weapons ban expired. as the first woman to chair of the senate intelligence committee, senator feinstein conducted an investigation into the enhanced interrogation program. an investigation that eventually led to legislation banning torture. she also never ceased advocating for lgbtq+ rights. that work started during her time in local government. senator feinstein with the first woman elected president of the san francisco board of supervisors. and after the associations of george moscone and city supervisor harvey milk, she was the first woman to become mayor of san francisco. california congresswoman and speaker emeritus nancy pelosi remembered that senator feinstein offered the city a beacon of hope and strength, during that tragic time. former congresswoman stephanie murphy and former republican congressman charlie dent arceneaux to with me. congresswoman murphy, what do you think senator feinstein's las

we want them to get something over to the united states senate where we do have bipartisan agreement on the contours of a continuing resolution, and where we have also passed out of the senate appropriations committee every one of the individual appropriation bills on an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis. we are united in terms of getting a continuing resolution passed to avoid a government shutdown, but also we have a path forward in the senate to pass bipartisan appropriation bills. the problem as us it is in the house and we just don't know if they would get it together. now, if they don't get it together there is a process we can use in the senate to initiate something. we have identified a bill that did start in the house that could be used for that purpose and in the question is what goes into it. we were in the middle of those discussions right now. but i will say that the spectacle of a government shutdown hurts us at home of course but also hurts us around the world in two ways. one is a sign at the dysfunction in the operation of the u.s. government which obviously is somethin

and i think it's important that people understand that here in the united states senate, a place that can be so divisive at times, that true friendships actually exist. whether it is the republican leader and his wife over the years dining together, or as senator collins has stated just the very generous nature of senator feinstein sharing her works, sharing her art, sharing a purse. i still have that seer sucker suit. when we engage in dawning the seer sucker suit, mine is 20 years old, i think yours is toorks the reality is a direct reminder of the spontaneous generosity of a woman. dianne feinstein was generous, she was gracious, she was thoughtful, she was kind. there were many times when we were looking into a weekend when we were going to be here, and she being from california, me being from alaska, recognizing that probably neither one of us was going to be making it to that other coast, and she would say lisa, let's go to dinner. and sometimes we would just spontaneously make that happen. other times we would just make the plans. but that was that outreach to do so. and what s

>> yeah. >> just like the united states senator addresses like this. >> jon levine joins me, were youy wouldn't let you in? >> i was not surprised. i look like a slob what a mess. of course they wouldn't. >> the united states senate, supposed to be the height of civility and political bodies all around the world has a standard lower than a couple of restaurants in new york city? >> just around the owner, you can go to them, the backyard of the pilates class. it's rough. what's curious to me, foreign leaders and governments and congress will think about this when they see someone like fetterman presiding over the senate in a hoodie or sleeveless shirt or whatever. once you change the rules for him, or some of wants to come in in a tank top or a bathing suit? >> there is a serious issue, lowering the bar of civility, often corresponds to lowering behavior, civility industries and we have seen that in city after city after city where crime has gone up, there's no rules anymore, you see electrified bicycles in new york city running people down, is no standard anywhere anywhere and that is

. >> madam president, first madam president pro tim from the united states senate, earlier this morning we lost a giant in the senate. senator dianne feinstein was among one of the most amazing people to ever grace the senate, whoever graced the country. she had so many amazing, wonderful qualities wrapped up in one incredible human being. she was smart. she was strong, she was brave, she was compassionate. but maybe the trait that stood out most of all was her amazing integrity. her integrity was a diamond. heard integrity shone like a beacon across the senate and across the country for all to see and a hopefully emulate. dianne feinstein would typically say when you asked her how was she voting on something, let me study this issue before takingua position. let me go home and read on it and when she came back and she believed the cause of the vote was right and title to many issues she cared about she not only voted for it but there was no stopping her from getting it done. she would take on any force, any special interest in the opponent with relentless integrity and would wear those

it's hard. >> united states senator dianne feinstein. >> people watching this, people looking at you will be shocked to know that you are the oldest serving u.s. senator. >> rub it in! >> i'm not. the opposite. >> it's what i'm meant to do. as long as the old bean holds up. >> i'm from the generation where we dropped under our desks. >> for people out there saying i want to be dianne feinstein, i want to do what she did. >> run but prepare yourselves. so many times talented young women go for the top first. you can't do that. start young. earn your spurs. you don't drop out. you take defeat after defeat after defeat but you keep going. and i really believe that. >> as you just heard there, senator feinstein was always aware of her legacy but careful about letting others define her. here she was right after she was first elected to the senate in 1992. >> i think it is wrong to say a woman's vote. i won in california in a big state with 5.5 million votes. i won by 17% margin. i won among men. i won among women. i won in every age level. i won in every ethnic group. what that says is tha

but we just had a new development in the united states senate. republicans, including minority leader mm medina medina medina, who helped put together their short-term spending bill in that chamber, are planning to vote against a procedural vote on the senate floor because they are arguing that they are basically wanting to make sure that the house bill can pass. their argument right now is that the only viable option available to avert a government shutdown is the bill that mccarthy wants to put on the floor of the house of representatives. therefore, despite the fact many republicans were planning to support the senate bill, they are going to vote against the procedural step over there, and basically try to force democrats to send them the house-passed bill. so that is the dynamic at play rating now. obviously, it is a very significant development, given the fact that minority leader mitch mcconnell has been one of the most dogged republican supporters of ukraine aid, and the house bill that is moving through that chamber right now does not incl

united states. the average age in the united states senate is 64, in the house it's 58. young people in the house. what do you make of the fact that we do have a politics in which people stay and today and stay. the very reluctant to leave? >> well the upside is you get people with wisdom and experience, and sure, that was true of diane. but is a product of the politics that we are in now. a politics where if you want to get nominated and elected you have to raise an awful lot of money, you have to be extremely well-known, you have to have a network. and usually the people who have all of those things are older rather than younger. so it's a system right now that works against the idea of young blood coming in, firebrand coming into our system. i hope that part of it changes. >> especially in the united states senate, as expensive as it is to run from for office. thank you very much, and michael beschloss, thank you, my friend, as always. cheers. who won the week is still ahead. but first, united auto workers expand their strikes against to me or automakers, but sparrow

i have placed holds on foreign military sales funding egypt and in the presence of other united states senatorsve challenged the egyptian president on human rights abuses, arbitrary detention and press freedoms. and the list goes on. throughout my 30 years in the house of representatives and the senate, i have always worked to hold accountable those countries, including egypt, for human rights abuses, re- prigs of its citizens and civil society and more. those wanting to -- they don't know the facts. for 30 years i have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings account which i have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family facing confiscation in cuba. this may seem old-fashioned. but these were monies drawn from my personal savings account based on the income that i have lawfully derived over those 30 years. i look forward to addressing other issues at trial. fourth, i want to speak directly to the people of new jersey. as i started these remarks you are the reason why i have dedicated the entirety of my adult life to improving the lives of hard working

across the bridge from her home in oakland into san francisco to celebrate her election to the united states senate. senator feinstein helped build a better america. she was not only a leader for our state, but for our nation and our world . doug and i send our prayers to senator feinstein's family. again, the statement tonight from vice president kamala harris, there is no shortage of condolences for the late senator here in the bay area. she was a mentor, an inspiration to many women in politics. she served her service, started decades ago in san francisco, where she was elected to the san francisco board of supervisors before becoming the city's first woman mayor. she paved the way for so many of us to be who we are and to show up as women and to contain avenue to fight and think of her. i think of her, her steely presence. i mean, she was her own person. and no one was going to push her around. 25 women in the senate now stand on feinstein's shoulders. those who knew her describe her as a treasure. feinstein's death leaving a gaping hole in california politics, one that will be certainly diffic

i have no interest of being in the united states senate. >> you rule it out completely. >> yes, i haveoughout my entire career. i had the chance to appoint myself to the united states senate in 2013, kristen, when frank lautenberg passed away and i was governor. if i didn't appoint myself to the united states senate the easiest way to get there i sure as heck am not going to run for it. >> let me get your take on what's happening on capitol hill, the other big story, and the fact that we're careening toward a government shutdown. do you think speaker mccarthy is showing strong leadership? >> i think speaker mccarthy is managing a very difficult caucus under very difficult circumstances and doing the very best he can. we're going to see. he's paid to deliver results and we need to find a way to deliver -- to avoid a government shutdown. it will be bad for the american economy and for the american people. >> do you think his speakership survives? >> i do. i think kevin mccarthy will continue to be speaker through the 2024 election and then if he's speaker in january 2025, i look forward

what people don't often see when it comes to the united states senate, especially but also the house to some degree as well is you can often judge the effectiveness or talent of a u.s. state senator by the talent they have around them, the talent of their staff and the willingness to go above and beyond and where the staffers go later. in terms of a team around her, particularly when she was at senate intel but also at judiciary as well, it was the staff represented a senator that had real juice, a real legacy, but also when she wanted to get things done she could get things done. as you guys know well in that chamber it's not always easy to get things done or anything done depending on the day. >> can you give us some sense of the impact that this is going to have just in general on the entire congress as they go through, we are in a shutdown basically, we are a day away from this and they are haggling over this. the power she's had and the removal of that power, what that's going to mean. >> it's interesting. i don't know that there's necessarily a micro effect to this moment in par

united states, unchecked, unfettered, no background check, no criminal check for any individual. our nation was built on legal immigration. it is one of the moments that i love to do as a united states senator, and that's go to naturalization ceremonies and be a part of watching individuals literally raise their right hand, denounce the country they were born in and become a citizen of the united states. it's an absolutely beautiful experience to watch new americans be born right in front of you. as i traveled around my state in august, not a single person said to me, not one, that they're opposed to legal immigration. but i had person after person of all political perspectives, right, left, center, that said to me this makes them nervous. six million people in less than three years that we know almost nothing about them are currently in our country going anywhere they want to, doing whatever they want to because this administration is not focused on deterring people from coming into the country illegally. they're focused on speeding up the process of people coming into the country illegally. this needs to stop. this body has to have a serious conversation about defining asylum because this

so i am, you know, motivated to get this done in the united states senate.re's bipartisan support for this in a cr providing funding for ukraine, and, so i mean we've got to get this across the finish line or this will be a disaster. >> bipartisan support in a short-term deal, you said. would you vote for a short-term deal if it didn't have ukraine aid in it? the house, there's a problem getting this through. >> hey, for years, when we've done crs they've been bipartisan. senator mcconnell feels like we should continue to support ukraine. senator schumer as well. working across the aisle in the senate, you know, we can get this done. the dysfunction in the house is unprecedented. you know who really cares about whether or not we fund ukraine or not and continue to provide the support? it's the chinese president. this is implications across the globe. you know, i cannot -- i spent some private time with president zelenskyy, you know, just this last week and, you know, tried to reassure this is coming. and if we fail at this moment, there's a chance that we, y

chuck schumer is in charge of the united states senate.r said his city is being ruined by illegal immigration and here is a question for senator schumer. what are you going to do about it? are we ever going to take up a bill in united states senate to stop this? probably not. >> jesse: i rebel how chuck schumer acted after 9/11. he embraced everybody was national security hawkish and now you have people flying in from china from africa from the missed missed they come into the gap they push right through and we have no clue who they are. don't any democrats care about national security? >> all i can tell sue an isis smuggler we found out about a couple weeks ago was smuggling people across the southern border associated with isis. it's just a matter of time for terrorists to penetrate our bordered and kill a bunch of us because it's completely open and broken. the biden administration is either incompetent or want it to be this way. i don't think they can change policy because of people like aoc want open borders. to my democratic colleagu

we've had very old united states senators since the first united states senators. this is nothing new. it's not even really an age issue if the argument is -- look at fetterman. so you've got it on both sides of the aisle. they're not inclined to push out one of their own on either side clearly. >> when you look at the elections we're talking about 2024, but i'm paying attention to 2023. you're going to have legislative elections in virginia, glenn youngkin the republicans out there talking about them a lot, elections in kentucky and mississippi this fall. what are you paying attention to? they're often a good read on what's going to happen the next year? >> i'm paying attention to the issues that voters are -- driving voter it turnout. that's important to me. is it abortion? is it democracy? the frugality of american democracy? is it the economy? what's going to turn out voters? specifically these independent voters that will make the difference. >> what do you think is going to get them out this fall? >> i think it's going to be abortion and i think it's going to
