Both parties say its time to tone things down. Let us always remember that our job is to serve and represent the whole american people. But how long will that sentiment last . And georgia on our minds, why tuesdays special Congressional Election is the biggest political test yet for the Trump Presidency . Joining me for insight and analysis are david brooks of the New York Times, the Cook Political Report amy walter, Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post and Daniel Pletka of the American Enterprise institute. Welcome to sunday, its meet the press. From nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history, celebrating its 70th year, this is meet the press with chuck todd. Good sunday morning and happy fathers day at the dads out there. Before we get to the main story, we want to update you on the progress of one father in particular. Congressman Steve Scalise shot at the republican baseball practice wednesday, his condition improved from critical to serious after unde
You look at the time line, you look at the connections with russia. You look at the statements they made, willie, during the transition and in the early parts of their presidency and the lies just keep falling one after another after other and after another. We will obviously be covering that story this morning, but also, willie, a story that you first brought up yesterday morning, the shock waves from this Donna Brazile book thats coming out. She goes after Hillary Clinton for basically losing the campaign, puts the blame squarely on her. She goes after barack obama for bankrupting the party and the dnc for rigging the election. This is something democrats are going to be fighting with for quite a long time i think. I dont think some democrats are saying, hey, we need to leave there behind us, lets not look to the past. Lets look to the future. There is about 50 of the party saying, no, we need to talk about this and talk about what happened. So a lot to talk about today. Yeah, i mean
We need people to step up. You see that happening in Corporate America. The tables are turning. I was going to say, willie, that they intended evil. They intended to pull this country back hundreds of years and actually if you just look at the headlines from yesterday, what they have done is something quite remarkable, these neonazis, these fascist, these White Supremacists have united the community in charlottesville and even united some raspberepus and ill just say one or two, marco rubio on the forefront. If every republican would show the courage that marco rubio is showing right now, i think the Republican Party might even be okay, but there are too many cowards there that are just saying we oppose neonazis. Guess what . In 2017 it gives you no credit. You have to be courageous enough to do i said marco but john mccain and others have shown the courage.

Bush white house and state departments, elise jordan is here. Former treasury official and morning joe economic analyst, the recovering steve rattner, massive injury. Really . A ski accident. And kasie hunt will be joining us shortly so get the lightning rod ready. I think we ought to try to put at least the state of the union itself in its own place. Could you put that into perspective . I think it was a good night for donald trump, but remember, voters always grade this man on the curve. Donald trump has taught americans lower expectations when viewing the reality show president. He had american carnage that was an inspiring speech, through charlottesville, from slandering the entire continent of africa, donald trump has earned t
Ford sent senator Dianne Feinstein released late last night. Ford wrote kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as i was headed for a bathroom. They locked the door and played loud music, precluding any successful attempts to yell for help. Kavanaugh was on top of me while laughing with judge, who periodically jumped onto kavanaugh. They both laughed as kavanaugh tried to disrobe me in their highly inebriated state. With kavanaughs hand over my mouth, i feared he may inadvertently kill me. In the letter sent to the committee today, dr. Ford wrote the decision to first report the assault to my congresswoman was a very difficult one, but i felt that this was something that a citizen couldnt not do. Meanwhile today, judge kavanaugh spoke publicly for the First Time Since fords allegation became public. The truth is ive never sexually assaulted anyone in high school or otherwise. I am not questioning and have not questioned that perhaps dr. Ford at some point in her life was sexually
