They said they would vote against the nominee who would overturn roe versus wade. On the democrat side six senators were from the states that President Trump won. Alabamas doug jones is another one. Hes not up for reelection. Those six who are expected to face a lot of pressure to support the president s nominee a little more than a month before their own reelection. Arthel . Arthel high stakes, no doubt. Garrett tenney, thank you. Mike President Trump calling on mueller to wrap up the investigation before the elections. Reporter its Labor Day Weekend and there was much speculation this would be the end or beginning of the end of special counsel Robert Muellers special investigation. There have been reports for months that his team hopes to wrap up before the end of summer. Rudy giuliani called for some end to the investigation in view of the special elections coming up. One Senate Republican says hopefully sooner rather than later well know what he, mueller, find. Mueller will be allowed to do this job. Here is what i will tell the public. Ill look long and hard about the fbi abuse of the fisa warrant and how the department of justice just really were in the tank for clinton and out to get trump early on. Mueller has not said when a final report will be out. Senate democrats say they want to know how the president S Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, he starts his confirmation hearings tuesday, how he views the special counsels work. There is a serious question as to whether this president given the opportunity will end the Mueller Investigation. Something most of republicans and the overwhelming majority of americans say would be a serious mistake. We asked judge kavanaugh what do you think and he said its handoff when it comes to his term in office. I think it one of the reasons people have misgiving about his nomination. Reporter President Trump called the investigation a rigged russia witch hunt. Mike arthel . Arthel [ ] senator john mccains 81 81year journey is coming to an end as the procession makes its way to his final resting place at the Naval Academy in annapolis. There was a Memorial Service yesterday at the National Cathedral in washington. This was a treasure. To have the friendship of john mccain and Lindsey Graham that it was blessed to have had and continue, i say goodbye and my heart will be heavy. I will shed a tear but thank god i knew a man like john mccain so well. Arthel lucas is live outside the Naval Academy with more. Reporter its notable that senator mccains father and grandfather, both four star admirals are buried in arlington cemetery, not annapolis. Mccain instructed his family to have him buried alongside his long time class mate charles larson. Larson tall and distinguished, the brigade commander. Mccain known for his mischief, but had Leadership Qualities that did not rear rank. He would become one of the youngest admirals in u. S. History. A lot has been made about mccain finishing fifth from the bottom out of 900. But 25 of mccains class washed out. He wouldnt accept parole or special favors from the enemy to get him through 5 1 2 years of torture in vietnam. The ceremony yesterday at the washington National Cathedral, but todays service is private. Mark salter, senator Lindsey Graham, and general patraeus. Also speaking, jack mccain a 2009 naval graduate and senator mccains oldest son doug. The body of senator mccain is expected to arrive at the Naval Academy at 1 45. Well have live kompleg all day. Mike President Trump appearing to hit back at criticism at john mccains Memorial Service writing make America Great again. John believe in honest argument and hearing other views. He understood that if we get in the habit of bending the truth to suit political expediency or party orthodoxy, our democracy will not work. The america of john mccain has no need to be made great again because america was always great. Mike dave, great to have you. No surprise, President Trump and senator mccain did not get along. Mr. Trump talked about mr. Mccain, the war hero and said he likes people who were not captured. Any surprise Meghan Mccain and others grabbed at the president. Meghan mccains shot and it was surprising to see applause. President bush and obama were critiquing the politics of trump. Obama referred to politics buy fear. They didnt refer particularly to trump. But they compared the kind of politics mccain practiced and the kind the president practices. She is her fathers daughter. If you Say Something bad about her dad, you will know it, whether hes the janitor or the president of the United States. She is grieving for the father she adored. I think most of americans understand that and im proud of the young lady she has become. Mike does it end there . I recommend people watch the entirety of the eulogy in were touching moments that had nothing to do with politics. This was a beautiful speech, a beautiful tribute. She did obviously decide to take that one shot at President Trump and thats something people will remember. She is on television, she is a public figure. I am sure that my color the way certain support ishes of President Trump view her going forward. But it wasnt the central theme of her speech. Mike the president s daughter and soninlaw Jared Kushner were at the service. Bomb past and insult, phoney controversies. And manufactured outrage. Its a politics that pretends to be brave and tough but in fact is born of fear. Mike then the 43rd president george w. Bush made reference to immigration. He loved freedom. With a passion of a man who knew. He respected the dignity inherent in every life. A dignity that does not stop at borders and cannot be erased by dictators. Mike do you think those comments made jared and ivanka and other white house officials uncomfortable . I would be surprised if they were surprised by the comments. John kelly and john bolton were also in attendance. These are not people who were supporters of President Trump, im talking about president s obama and bush. They werent going to celebrate the alliance with President Trump. What they were going to do was honor the service of john mccain. Mike some people get very turned off when watching sports and politics enters into it. Might you imagine mr. Might be some people who support President Trump who save they wanted to watch the funeral of an American Hero but didnt want all the jabs at the president. The speeches were always going to touch on politics. Its very, very difficult in the current climate to discuss politics without it seeming like a commentary on the current president. President trump looms so large over our political discourse currently that it was always going to be interpreted that way. I do think these president s with were intentional in the veiled shots they took sat trump. I can see pushback from people who might honor john mccains service. It would be difficult to give a eulogy where President Trump is obviously not present. Mike we have seen bipartisan praise for john mccain. Bipartisan former president speaking, his former political opponent. Any chance mccains passing will lead to some attempts at working in a bipartisan way . No, i dont think. Just because we had several of these moments that brought us together as a country the last couple of years. We mad this question discussed. I was asked this question at different moamentds, mass shootings. And it lasted, it has been momentary and gone back to the divisive brand of politics. I would love to Say Something more optimistic. But i dont see it happening that way. Mike dave lawler thanks very much. Arthel the accusations of putting process over safety. The owners of the missouri duck boat that sank and killed 17 people in july is facing legal action from the state. Judge Brett Kavanaugh faces a fierce confirmation battle in the senate. More on what we can expect from those two big hearings coming up next. You i have known Brett Kavanaugh for a long time. He was an inspired choice. He is a man who has a lot of humility.

Which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, im highly likable. I like dennis quaid. Awww. And they want me to let you know that, cue overdramatic music, theyre on a mission to make insurance painless. Excuse me, you dropped this. They know its confusing.

Everybody wants more for their kids, but i feel like with my kids, they measurably get more than i ever got. And i get to do that. I get to provide that for them. Mike a suspected ms13 gang member is facing charges after police say he raped a child. They say he broke into the second floor bedroom of a sleeping 11yearold girl in brooklyn and raped her. Police say he then fled the scene through the window as the girl cried for help. The 18yearold alleged attacker is facing charges of rape, burglary and sexual abuse. Police say they believe hes an ms13 gang member from el salvador. Arthel just days before Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaughs confirmation hearings get under way the white house says it will with hold 100,000 pages of white house records. Chuck schumer said we are witnessing a friday night document massacre. President trump hiding judge kavanaughs records from the american. You is unprecedented and has all the makings of a coverup. So i want to go here, the it would house is citing executive privilege to with hold the 100,000 pages. How does that fit juxtaposed to president george w. Bush, advising his attorneys to release kavanaughs documents and err on the side of transparency and disclosure. This is exactly the process that the executive order president obama come 10 plates for president ial records its exactly the way its to proceed with the former president doing the initial review and the current president make the call. Contrary to schumerss outrageous rhetoric, this is not unprecedented. The same thing happened on john roberts record and senator schumer protested that. On elena kagan they are documents were never obtained. And Senate Documents never produced the documents from her time working as a special staffer working for senator biden. Everyone recognizes that there are privileged document that need to be carefully reviewed and cant just be made public. And senator schumer is playing games, trying to bamboozle the American People because democrats have no case against this nominee. They will require wanted to hear for a moment. To your point you are saying President Trump gets the final edit. But there are still questions as to what could be in those 100,000 pages and why would a white house want to keep certain information from the public. And if there are no ethics violations, could there be a perception problem . There has never been a practice for the senate to demand everything in a nominees governmental records. You have had Supreme Court companies who had long years as judges. No one demands internal case files. The senate did not obtain elena kagans documents for her years with the attorney general. Democrats are concocting new standard for this nominee that makes no sense and would be obstructive of deliberations in government. Arthel amongst the democrats and trump, people who dont support the president , figuring kavanaughs past history on executive privilege, saying a president should not be subject to criminal or civil litigation while he sits in office. Perhaps might that be the concern they are possible any trying to redact from the record . I think you are overstating what judge kavanaugh said. Arthel clear up the record then, please. The position that a sitting president should not be criminally indicted and instead the process should be invoked is one of impeachment is a conventional position that as harvard law professor held up, if its its ludicrous. Arthel you understand the only reason its such a point of contention is only because at one point as you well know, judge kavanaugh was instrumental in writing the legal papers to have president clinton impeached, and in 2009 he wrote for the law review changing his position to that which i just stated, saying he doesnt think a sitting president should be subject to such legal liability. Who would be the immediate beneficiary of his change of view . Barack obama. The democrats made scorched earth demands to obstruct and delay this nomination and claim when their unreasonable demand isnt met, people must be hiding something. If democrats wanted to make targeted requests for specific documents, senator grassley would have accommodated those requests. Dont be suckered by the game being played here. Arthel based on what you are tilling me now, do you believe the system of choosing, nominating and confirming Supreme Court justices is still on track following the necessary guidelines or has this process been guide and tainted too much by politics . The process is inherently a political one. Its impossible to remove it from politics. I think the process is never going to be perfect. You have a judicial nominee, Supreme Court nominee with 12 years of judicial record. Hundreds of opinions. And the idea that democrats wrathered than addressing his record are going to complain about some documents that arent being produced i think shows you they have no case against him. Arthel well leave it right there. Ed whelan, thank you very much. Stay with us at Fox News Channel all week as the Senate Begins confirmation hearings for judge kavanaugh.
