the reverend billy graham. graham: blessed is the team that will lead america to a new day. we pray this humbly in the name of the prince of peace, who shed his blood on the cross that men might have internal life. -- eternal life. gigi: the times he got into a little bit of trouble as people might've read. that mr. nixon use the language that he did that came out on the tapes and it was very hurtful to my daddy. he had known him for very long time and it was a big surprise to him and hurtful when all of that came out on those tapes. he was also very close to the bushes. he went to kennebunkport several times on vacation with them and enjoyed their family. he also enjoyed president johnson. president johnson was quite a colorful character and he was down at the ranch quite often. i would guess that he was more that he was invited probably more often to those events of the white house. graham: and don't forget another thing, jesus belongs to africa as much as he does to europe and asia. he was born in that part of the world that touches africa and asia and europe, and jesus w

what is your responsibility to lindsey graham? he says in no world, absolutely not would i be supportive of this subpoena. >> i understand that a number of my republican colleagues don't like this idea. but the point is, the point that senator graham made, and that is we don't know what the president agreed to in this meeting. the information we're getting about what was said is coming out of the russian government, the minuistry of defense in russia is where we've heard what they agreed to. it is incumbent on the administration to let the american people and congress know what was agreed to. we have an oversight responsibility so we need to get this information. >> but the push back is, and to be candid, lindsey graham wants answers on russia. he called the trump administration naive on russia. so he is no apologist for the trump administration. but his point is that if you do that, you have a chilling effect, right? i mean that there has to be some privacy to these things, some ability for translators just to be translators. lis

i am the eldest daughter of ruth and billy graham. of being introduced as the eldest and oldest, especially the older i get one they love the the longest. daddy was in charlotte until the day he passed away. he felt himself a farmer's boy from charlotte. he never felt himself anything more than that. my granddaddy had a dairy farm down there, so my daddy grew up milking cows in the morning before he went to school, and when he came back from school, the same thing. when he first discovered the calling us when he went to bible school. he accepted christ as savior when he went to an evangelist meeting as a teenager. he went to college, and then he was in tennessee at that time. you know, he got sick one day, he had the flu, he was not feeling well, and he did not really feel like he was getting what he wanted at that particular college, so he saw a brochure about a bible school in florida, and he solved time to use, -- he saw home trees, orange trees. we are alike. we both like warm weather. he went to florida bible college. he found hi

>> senator graham: given russia's behavior, absolutely not. russia was supposed to make sure they had no chemical weapons. the last thing you can rely upon is the russians to take care of american-israeli interests. there is ideal to be had in syria. our troops in northeastern syria working with the syrian democratic forces have demolished isis and if we stay there we have about 2,000 troops, isis won't come back. if we stay in northeastern syria, iran can't march from tehran to be rude. i don't trust the russians to implement any agreement when it comes to the iranians, but there is an agreement to break russia away from iran, but no way can it be achieved with them staying there. it's an insurance policy against taking over syria and ice is coming back in the iranians owning the whole region. >> dana: how to balance the cooperation we need with russia right now on something with her concerns we have with russia on many other fronts? and how would you recommend president trump approach that meeting next monday in helsinki? it will be his firs

frankly, it's something that graham talks about too. she said repeatedly that this is a time where the leadership skills that women have, that are particular to women, are exactly what you need right now. >> the face of democratic politics is undergoing a big change this year and we will see if it has a bigger impact on national politics. nbc's ali vateli thank you for the report. >>> one more thing for you right after this. ps me...relax. please don't, i'm saving those for later. at least you don't have to worry about renters insurance. just go to geico.com. geico helps with renters insurance? good to know. been doing it for years. that's really good to know. i'll check 'em out. get to know geico. and see how easy homeowners and renters insurance can be. and i'm still going for my best even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'm up for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantl

. >> good morning graham. welcome to the state. we had the opportunity to visit privately this morning. i think you will be really please what mccoury is doing, what graham is doing, what they have done throughout the world and in the u.s.. you couldd start and talk a little bit. , and thank you for having me here this morning. the story is simple. we are global financial institution proud of the fact that we have had unbroken profitability. part of the reason for that is the infrastructure business. we manage $120 billion of assets around the world. this started in australia in sydney 22 years ago with this simple idea. to invest in its road to network and looking for capital to do that. we realized on the other side of the equation that there was a large industry in australia, growing. pension funds, looking how to best invest the assets of their pensioners, they were looking at record they put that? where are the study cash flows .hat will support the community so, joining together those pensioners and those pension funds with t

and rrp senator lindsey graham sent out several messages about the summit writing -- missed opportunity by president trump to firmly hold russia accountable for 2016 meddling and deliver a strong warning regarding future elections. this answer by president trump will be seen by russia as a sign of weakness and create far more problems than it solves. senator graham also tweeted, finally, if it were me, i'd check the soccer ball for listening devices and never allow it in the white house. senator graham referring to the soccer ball that president putin gave to president trump during the joint news conference. you can watch all of the news conference. we're going to show it tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern here on c-span. in the meantime, here are some of their remarks. watch part of the news conference between the two leaders before the house gavels back in. we begin with one of the questions from a reporter. reporter: thank you. mr. president, you tweeted this morning that it's u.s. foolishness, stupidity and the mueller probe that's responsible for the decline in .s. relations with russia.

after helsinki, lindsey graham said you showed weakness. >> let me just-- i totally disagree. i think i did great at the news conference. you have people that said you should have gone up to him and walked up and started screaming in his face. we're living in the real world. >> glor: all that and much more, right now. >> glor: good evening. i'm jeff glor. and this is our western edition. we are going to begin with our interview with the president late this afternoon. in our conversation at the white house, mr. trump for the first time in public as president blamed vladimir putin directly for meddling in the 2016 u.s. election. the president had drawn a lot of criticism for not doing that on monday when the two men held a joint news conference in helsinki. yesterday, after he returned to washington, he did say he accepts the finding of u.s. intelligence that russia interfered, but the questions continued. we worked to get more information on all of this, starting with what the president and putin talked about face-to- face behind closed doors. you say you agree with u.s. intell

will the real lindsey graham please sands up. the south carolina senator a textbook case of a tortured republican trying to navigate the trump takeover of the gop. you don't have to go back too far to find graham calling candidates trump a clown. not a real republican. nowhere ready to be president. even after trump won graham was an early critic or at least a voice of caution raising questions about trump foreign policy and insisting the president back off and let robert mueller do his job. then the south carolina senator's words turned positive. a big evolution. tested again in the past 72 hours or so. he criticized the president's summer performance. then thanked him for being more critical of vladimir putin post-helsinki helsin post-helsinki. then said never mind the white house staff had assured him it was all a misunderstanding. this morning, senator graham back in the disappointed column. >> i think when it comes to russia it's been a bad week and i think it's imperative that he understand that he's misjudging putin. i don

it's a close race for graham. she's two points behind. but over 40% of people said they were still undecided. so you're going to see over the course of the next several weeks a real tightening. a lot could change. it's going to be really interesting and probably really expensive because that's what it is to run in florida. >> i find all of the women who are running to be so fascinating but i think there's one thing that -- whether it's implicit or explicit, there's so much research about how if you take a group of men who are meeting and you add a woman to it, what it means about cooperation, conversation. you can talk to any of the women senators. they meet as a group he they talk about how different it is then when they meet with the senate as a whole. do you think there's maybe something there, katelyn? it's not just about the going out and run bug the response so many of them seem to be getting, so many of them already having won primaries. >> right. what's important this time is there seems to be an infrastructure for women to run. i

so i think chairman graham for holding this hearing. i look forward to hearing from our witnesses and i hope this is a site of good future work to protect our elections. thank you, chairman. >> i notice the presence of the committee chairman, senator grassley. would you like to say anything? >> sure. number one, , to explain that i won't be here because of the farm bill. number two, to thank our witnesses because i know everybody that appears witness before this point has to do a lot of work, so thank you for doing that and thank you for the audience being interested in it. then beside saint thank you to the chairman and ranking member, congress continues to confront the election interference issue and find all the ways that we can to try to prevent in future elections the judiciary committee has taken a lead role in that effort. this is the seventh hearing that we had on this single topic over the past 19 months. we've heard from a number of witnesses on this topic who made a wide range of recommendations on how to deal with the electi

>> well, i've been working with senator graham on this particular issue. we've worked together on many other sanctions related, national security questions. we're going do pursue russia's energy sectors. the cyber section as a sectorial section. those are some of the things the legislation calls for. we have increasing bipartisan interests in the legislation. so it is my goal along with senator graham to make sure that we're protecting the united states, defending the united states, defending our democracy, and being a robust challenge to russia under putin. >> will the president support it? >> well, if we get a similar vote to the counting america's adversary through sanctions act, i don't think he'll have much of a choice. i hope he'll embrace it. what i saw at helsinki was a president that wasn't challenging putin. actually, it was a president that was rather stipyou lant to what putin wanted. i'm hoping that he will imbrace the legislation, and in the absence of that, that we'll get incredibly strong vote as we did in the program that has him have to s

if it continues. >> in fact, this is lindsey graham on that very issue. listen. >> just have sanctions that can fall on russia like a hammer. do not meet with this guy from a position of weakens. we need to harden the electoral infrastructure, you need to be the leader of that movement. and you need to work with congress to come up with new sanctions because putin is not getting the message. >> one has to wonder whether the president is going to take that advise because so many in the circle say he doesn't really take advice. so is that lindsey graham speaking on behalf of he and congress who agreed to put new sanctions on russia last year even though it took many months for those sanctions to be enacted. >> that's right. i think you're right to be skeptical about whether president trump is listening to lindsey graham or anybody else. in fact, lindsey graham said in that interview also, i thought it was really important, he still doesn't know, as do apparently the rest of the government what was actually said or agreed to in the private meeting between pr

i think lindsey graham agrees with cornell. be careful here. >> the president cfirmed it on friday he is not going to specifically ask where she's candidates are. he doesn't have to. they wouldn't be on the list if you didn't already know where they stood on that particular issue. one way that i have heard that people close to the president are trying t a inoculainst some of that is push him towards picking a woman. the president has said he's leaning towards selecting twoo women are on the short list of maybe five to seven. incling amy barrett. as one person put it to me last night, she wa dinged by dianne feinstein in her confirmation hearing for the circuit judgeship. there is a calculation that some people close to the president are making. i've also heard the president himself said essentially i'm not going to think about gender politics. i wantic to the best candidate. if that's a man, it's a man. >> kimberly, she getting to something i think both sides are torn on this. do they want the fig or not? i don't know. i think

about billy graham after he died. some i think brutally unfair to his legacy and race but they were pretty good. billy graham, there is a famous picture that gets created out there, he desegregated his revival meetings and so forth but was never a strong advocate. he never did anything in a positive way to combat racism, so this is a big hurdle and one of the issues in the next 20 years or so that they will havee to deal with, one of the most important. yes, sir. >> being jewish, i don't carry an evangelical card. [laughter] a couple things, it seems in the new testament jesus is all about helping the poor and caring about the community and nonmaterial. for the life of me, maybe nobody understands this by the 81% of the evangelicals seem so harsh against programs for the poor but those in the individual morality that surprises me a also how would you define evangelical? what happens to people that are not christian, how do you evangelicals view without? they are the movement and other theologians the most famous defin

senato we just is heard senator graham's take. what's your view? senator, can you hear me? i would say that's a no since he's looking down at the moment. susan, to you. what's your view of all of this. >> it's important, as senator graham said, to look at how these fisa warrants are done. we know that this was signed off by four republican judges. we know that this was one aspect of what mueller is looking at. and i think that at this point, it's just another thing that is making a lot of noise, and a whole lot of noise, that are confusing people and playing right into donald trump's hand, frankly. >> as i was listening, susan, to senator graham, it was not lost on me that he can be a pretty harsh critic of the president on other issues. because of that, do you think it's more credible on this issue as a result? >> maybe, but we've also seen from senator graham that if there's a place he can agree with the president, he does. because that fisa warrant is is now out in the public, though heavily retracted, we see all the backup that was given for seeking it in the first plac

graham: why don't we start with the bad to the good? in terms of challenges, the first is what is very much a u.s. situation. if i could describe it like that. i have been doing infrastructure for 22 years through australia, 11 in europe and in the u.s. for the last six years. i think the thing that defines u.s. infrastructure as opposed to so many other countries around around, is just how local it is. around the world, you see federal governments with large controls and ownership of infrastructure assets. that creates quite a different dialogue, when as a federal government, you're talking about an infrastructure asset here, here,those benefits over monetizing that decision over a large populace or electorate. so i think the first challenge therefore is the local nature of the u.s. infrastructure, and how a state, a city or a municipal level, how do we work at that level to create positive story iran infrastructure? that really leads me to the acond challenge, which is section issue. here in the best a perception issue. here in the un

other members of congress who put out critical statements like senator lindsey graham. the clip that you played of president trump is probably the most disappointing thing that happened today. he was saying, it is our fault too. for the things that are gone wrong with russia. somehow equating what the u.s. is not with the transgressions by russia. >> we still don't know. i asked him today of maryland, a democrat, somebody from your land, what was the reset? what did it accomplish? obama's recent? >> what i am talking about, what did the u.s. do that is equivalent to russia interfering in our election to russia annexing crimea, russian fighting in the ukraine. >> rebecca do you want to end so that? >> bret baier said earlier on in your show, this is moral equivalency. >> ryan talks about that too. >> even though i said i was disappointed that the president missed an opportunity there, if you look at -- there was no capitulation on the matter of policy coming out of this meeting. president trump did not say that we are going to get seat on any major policy point that is i

what lindsey graham said when they had four lottery winners. that may be true. but if they're all lottery ticket winners, we're certainly the losers, the american public. should any of the justices get confirmed. i think this highlights the point that when mcconnell and when the republicans killed the filibuster, they changed the senate and that essentially says over 140 million people, we don't care about your thought or your perspective. i think that's a dangerous territory that we're in right now because we can't trumpet this america first and the democracy mantra and under this administration, every branch of government is chipping away at the core democratic values. you have to challenge voters. i don't see a lot of leverage from democrats to stop this court, unfortunately. you have to focus on the house and the senate. you can't have a trump administration control congress and the courts. that is disastrous for the american public. i would argue that none of these justices are qualified. if they're thinking about overturning roe v. wade. it's not just that

lindsey graham was asked what sort of justice he would prefer to replace justice kennedy. senator graham said, not crazy, solid like a john roberts type. he said he is not picked. president trump ran the idea of who he would pick, and he gave the list. people on the list are highly qualified. let me ask this part of the question. brian from georgia, what sort of justice would you like to see replace justice kennedy on the court. caller: thank you for taking my call. i think it was about time for justice kennedy to retire. i don't know why all the democrats are crying that they blocked one of obama's picks. his first two years when he was president. they are crying he did not get a third pick? that is a bunch of baloney. he got his first two election your picks. dams -- dems are never trumpeters and he can never do right. thank you. our linerida on democrats. go ahead. caller: good afternoon. first of all, i would like to say this is the first president of the united states, that i really have tremendous difficulty, not so much even approval of what he does, but in presenta

this is bizarre, and lindsey graham is absolutely right. what foreign leaders are going to sit down with the president united states one-on-one for an off record conversation and said that it would not be off record. >> harris: we had a problem early in the presidency with all of the elites of the phone calls at the president was having with the world leaders. but this is why specifically i ask you about the president in this instance given all that is happened in the last few days, he can flip the switch loudly and say, you know what's, i'm going to give you the notes to the american people, nobody has to interpret anything and nobody has to sit down, let me tell you about what came out, and he is either lying or he is not, but do not listen to him, listen to me, i am the person that you elected. >> ari: this is a normal matter of business, they have the responsibility to tell people what they are up to you in private meeting. that is a presidential prerogative. but this idea of subpoena of the translator is pernicious. i spent 15 years on

graham said the democrats opposed to this nomination, lindsey graham said that if the democrats want to stop it, they should win elections. back to you. >> shepard: what are you hearing from democrats? >> you talked about chuck schumer in the press conference. they're doubling down on the message they're going to try to stop to use the nomination. they're going to shift from abortion to healthcare. they're going to be hitting the judge on whether he supports the retention of coverage from pre-existing conditions to obama. here's what schumer had to say about it. >> we're going to force judge kavanaugh to come clean. will he protect pre-existing conditions? will he protect medicaid? will he protect medicare? we're not going to let him hide behind this i'll respect existing law. we've been burnt too many times. so to sum this up, the democrats are in a tough spot. they have to retain three of their senators that could very well vote in favor of the confirmation. states up for re-election and states pro trump and convince lisa murkowski and susan collins to vote against the nomination.

you're this clear from senator lindsey graham in your interview. have to be quite clear with president vladimir putin that the united states sees him as an antagonist and someone who's stirring the .and in directly supporting iran's support of terrorist organizations. so this is not in our interest. the question is how do you break that linkage. making it clear to them.the second part is, you've got to be quite direct about interference in our elections. we can't get president trump yet to say directly, hey, stop it. >>dana: what did you make about questions about turkey what the congress might do? >> on the one hand, we delivered i believe 2f 35's, on the way to 100. turkey is now signaling they want to purchasethose as for s. it's multidimensional chassis. going back tojuan's point. the president needs to have a good working relationship but people want to see him take a much tougher stance with vladimir putin single cat metal with our elections but can't be doing what you're doing in syria and we will stand our ground. right now, you've seen som

. >>> lindsay graham has concerns lling on the president to n.ca confront russia over election interference. >> i'm concern by what i hear, i'm concerned when the president tweets. russia denies mhe link,n they say they didn't meddle they're lying, i'm glad the president will confront pulln >> you think the show them the evidence? the president is out there tweeting, that he believes the russians. you expect him to >> we have, you don't have it? >> well, here's what i would say, that in main ways this eeadministration hn tough one' russia, w armed the ukrain kicked out diploma but the idea that russia d not meddle in our election is fakenews, they did and they're doing it again in 2018. >> as for the ongoing investigation into russian interference and the allegations of bias o the fbi agent who sent explicit anti-tmp text messages the predent will remain hands-off for now. >> one thing i want to say i'm involved in, i've been told so many people don't get involved. it's not good and they get the documents and it's getting and they're getting them, and they're great people. i didn't like the

even lindsey graham who says this is already into settled law so it should stay there. erin, you first. >> i think this supreme court pick is going to be a nasty fight. it is not going to look like it did with neil gorsuch. if you remember back in 2005, president george w. bush nominated harry meyers who was his counsel at the white house, sotomayor, who so many said she was not up to the job, and leo. leo especially was a nasty fight. whoever the president picks this time, it will be a nasty, drag-out fight. >> agreed, john? >> i think it will be a fight with the outcome predetermined. i think we know this nominee from the president is going to be approved. we've gotten signals from people like jeff flake and susan collins that they're not going to let the prospect of a deciding vote on roe, which susan collins says she agrees with that decision, lisa murkowski, too, i don't think that's going to stop them. we know this is the best chance republicans have had to knock out roe, and i think the president has a preselected list of people who the republicans who advise the

lindsey graham was one of them. he has been one of the sharpest critics of the president's handling of russia, but when i asked him specifically whether or not they should ask this translator to come before capitol hill, he said this -- >> absolutely not. that will be the last time you ever have a foreign leader meet with the president of the united states privately. and i can tell you there may be times where we need to do that, so i can't imagine how that would affect future presidents in terms of their ability to talk to foreign leaders. >> reporter: so, kate, that is not to say that lindsey graham has been praising the president's performance this week. there have been other significant amount of criticism that he levied against this president and others have joined as well saying that the president that significant lily misjudged proout and he w misjudged vladimir putin and he was not prepared for that summit. >> when it comes to russia, it has been a bad week and it is imperative that he understand that he is

lindsey graham joins us to weigh in on that. articles of impeachment against deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. it is about to happen. the president and his allies fighting back over leaked conversations about possible payment, the story of a playboy model alleging an affair with the president. pá he thinks that is all about. welcome to fox news at night. we begin with mike pompeo's appearance on capitol hill, lawmakers from both parties expressing frustration with and lack of information about the summits. late today his top diplomat tried to reassure them, mike emanuel has this report from capitol hill. >> i made clear there will be severe consequences for interference in our democratic process. >> reporter: he has been firm with moscow saying sanctions won't be eased. >> no relief of sanctions and so russia returns control of crimea to ukraine. >> reporter:t? the foreign relations chairman put pompeo in an awkward spot by criticizing donald trump's behavior. >> what is it because the president purposely to create distru

lindsey graham said they are playing the same game with you they played with every other president. will, thank you. >>> 15 minutes past the hour. president trump escalating trade threats against key allies and one of the most powerful ceos thinks that is bad policy. i spoke to jamie dimon in chicago. dimon said the president is right to target china on trade, but not much else. >> the way to look at trade. the president has raised serious issues that are accurate around china that need to be fixed. we want nafta done. i think mexico is a wonderful neighbor. we want nafta done. to torture mexico in this way is dead wrong. it should be fixed. we thought what the president should do is work with mexico and canada and do tpp. work with the european allies and japanese allies and go to china with a common front. this is the way the modern world deal was trade and ip and state enterpris enterprises. now we have a little bit of a trade war or battle with allies and china. the president is doing a great job, maybe we would have a great outcome. the president's team said there will be no re

you have lindsey graham coming out and calling this a missed opportunity. jeff flake even stronger in his words saying this is shameful. those are, of course, two republican lawmakers. we'll continue to get strong reaction throughout the day. a couple other headlines. you heard president putin essentially float the idea of some type of joint investigation allowing bob mueller's team to come to russia to talk to the 12 russian individuals indicted on friday. that was striking. will that ever happen? likely if you talk to foreign policy analysts. that is going to be pretty unlikely. we'll have to track that closely. but then also president trump say, look, there's blame on all sides. essentially going back to his talking points that americans bear responsibility as well. and then really wanting to make the case that the russia probe is over. that mueller finished his investigation saying this had nothing to do with anyone from my campaign when the reality is, as you and i know all too well, a number of his former campaign officials have either been indicted o

. >> don't worry, lindsey graham has a statement that says there's no bus for lindsey graham, don't worry. i've just been reassured unequivocally by the white house legislative team that the president's response to shouted questions was not intended to suggest that president trump doubts the intelligence community's assessment that russia is continuing to attack our critical infrastructure in the 2018 elections. i'm very pleased to hear this and stand ready to work with the administration to harden our electoral system against all foreign interference, including russia. >> that's because lindsey graham is trying to keep the government together to resist this russian threat and not score political points right now. the problem for trump is that this issue is not going away. george will calls them helsinki republicans. and they are going to have a real problem with what is now becoming increasingly known as the helsinki humiliation. these issues, unlike a lot of the other issues that relate to donald trump, do not respond to his teflon. in other words, this is a vel cr cro not a teflon issu
