good sunday morning. when president clinton lost contro of both houses of congre in 1994, the day after the election, he accepted his share of responsibility. mr. clinton then worked with the new republican majority on issues like welfare reform and balanc the budgets. two years later, both were easily elected. when president obama lost the nous 20 in 2010, he called it a beatin and two years later he and that republ congress were easily re-ele presid trump's re-election chance in big trouble. mr. clinton and mr. obama accept the public's refwuk and pivote work with the new

opposition in some so far president trump has done no such thing. he is sticking to the base only strate accelerate ago tacks on those hes can to be oppone since the election, he attacked the press again, attacked the judici again, attacked our election positi% electi process again. are assaults helpful to the presid politi they may be but they'r unprecedented. >> we get a lot of bad court decisi the ninth circuit which has become a big thorn in our side. >> president trump using a thanks teleconference with troops deployed overseas to renew attacks on the u.s. courts and double down on criticism of chief justice john roberts. >> i like him and i respect him. but i think we have to use some common sense. >> that's after roberts in an extrao step by a chief justic rebuked the sitting presid for slamming a federal

judge who ordered the admini to accept asylum claims for migrants no matter how they enter the united states >> you go to the ninth circuit and it's a disgrace. i'm going to put in a major compla this was an obama judge. >> the judge john tiger does not actual sit on the ninth circui the ruling was handed down by a distri court. robert defended and independent judici to the associated press "we do not have obama judges or trump judges, bush judges or clinton judges. what we have is an group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them." mr. trump's renewed attacks on the courts are just his latest assaul on american instit he's questioned u.s. elections claimi without evidence fraud . >> there's a lot of bad stuff going on in this country. >> he's relentlessl tacked the media. >> the dishonest, terrib people. >> and this week he again contra his own intell community.

this time their assess. of the killing of jamal khasho appearing to take the word of the saudi crown prince instea >> the crown prince hates it more t i do and they have veheme denied it. the cia points at both ways. you know, as i said, maybe he did. maybe he didn't. >> house democrats are promising to exa khashoggi murder and the president's financial ties to saudi arabia which mr. trump eluded to for years. >> i like the saudis. the they're very nice. i make a lot of money with them. they buy all sorts of my stuff. all kinds of toys from trump. >> the president is also disput an urgent warning from his own administration on the issue of climate change. the report from 13 federal agenci was intentionally releas on black friday in order to bury it in the news. the white house dismissed the findin based on the most extreme scenario." the report warns that if signif aren't taking to reign in global warming,

climat change could slash the u.s. economy by 10% by the end of the century. just this week the president tweete about east coast cold weathe whatev happened to global warmin >> i don't know that it's man made. you ha to show me the science. they have a very big political agenda >> and joining me now is republ senator mike lee of utah. is a member of the senate judici committee. senato lee, welcome back to "meet press." i hope you enjoyed your holiday break. >> thank you. >> let me start with the presid back and forth with the chief justice. it was really the heads of two branch i think, having a debate about -- about the consti perhaps and i feel as if that's in your wheel house. so let me ask you, what was your reacti to the president's dismis of the rebuke that chief justice roberts gave to him about how the judiciary works and how it should be repres by public officials? >> look, it's not entirely

unprec for a president of the united states or another public official to criticize court rulings. in some cases supreme court ruling as president trump criticized the ruling in the citizens united case. this isn't my style. >> he didn't call it bush justicthough, did he? >> no. he didn't. but i serve with a number of collea in the senate includ some on the judiciary commit who routinely accuse the current supreme court of being in the pocket of big busine in the united states of americ this m uncomfortabl too. i'm a lawyer by training. as a lawyer, i try to express disagr with the courts withou impugning the court's motive >> this seems -- >> as presiden of the united states he certainly has the right to express his opinion on these things. >> the problem is when he speaks he carries with him a big follow that goes down the rab rabbit with him. he's gone after the judiciary, the election systems, again

contra his own cia, the justicdepartment, free press. i can go on and on. you rebuke him rhetoricall quite a bit when he does these things but his behavior never changes. do you ask yourself what is the point in rebuking him? >> well, he has been elected presid the united states. we know that he has an unconv has had different approa than other people have taken to this job. but he president of the united some of the same styles that helped get him electe the first place. and so what i can do for my part as a united states senator is to help sear him in a direction that i think is consistent with his policies and the best intere of the american people i do think for -- >> do you have a breaking point? >> oh, sure. look, any time somebody violates the constitution i'm going to call them out on it. i'm going to do what i can from my position as a member of

senate to the president's credit and the need to pivot after an electi didn't go his way during the midterm, i think presid trump is doing that. someti with this president you have to look not just at what he says but also at what he does. look at the fact that in the days following the midterm electi president trump come out aggressivel for criminal justic reform. this is a big bipartisan opport and i look forwar to getting it done. i want to ask you somethi about what you said though recent you said that you were so worrie about political rhetoric and the ranker and that it reached such a fev going to drive our to toward violence. this will come down to federa or violence. that's extreme diagno of the current proble >>yeah, it's no the extreme. in fact, it's probably the least contro speech i've given in a long time. accord a recent poll conduc by npr, 80% of

americ believe that our politi devisivness in this countr at a national level is drivin to a point that could result in violence. this is a real legitimate concer it's o of the reasons why the foundi fathers were right in settin up a government that the nation level would be in charge of only a few things that are unavoidable. and by designation of the consti mandated to be at natio. reserv all other powers for states localities. recogn is more agreem a regional basis, state by state or community by commun than there will ever be at the national level. i think that is the best way. it may be the only way to avoid some of this devisivness >> i want to speak to the issue with saudi arabia. here is the president pushing back on the cia assessment, not necess but it's their best -- it's an assessment of high confidence that the crown prince in saudi arabia ordere the murder of jamal

khasho is the president respondg to it. >> it's a very important ally. and if we go by a certain standa we won't be able to have allies with almost any countr okay? >> who should be held accoun >> maybe the world should be held accountable. the world is a vicious place. the world is a very, very viciou place. >> here's what fred ryan the publish publis of "the washington post" wrote in response to the presid dismissal of the cia assess clear and dangerous mess has be sent to tyrants around the world, flash enough money in frond of the presidentst unite states you can literally get away murder. is he right? >> i disagree with the presid assessment. it it's inconsistent with the intell i've seen. now, look, i don't have access to everything that the president sees. i'm sure what he is relying on. the intelligenc i've seen sugges that this was ordered by the crown prince. and is yet another reason why

i've been pushing why i joined forces with bernie sander february to get us out of fighting saudi arabia's civil war effort in yemen. i think this is yet another indica that this unauth unconstitutional war from our standpoint is not someth we ought to be fighti this is not an ally that deserv this kind of military interv especially because there' been no connection betwee safety of the americ people and our involv in this war. it's o of the reasons we got to get out now and i believe this is an opportunity for the congre to weigh in and say let's halt our efforts in yemen questi what is the president's motive behind siding with the saudis and is it -- should congre look into see if he's got financial motivations into why he might be siding with the saudis over the cia? >> look, i don't know why he's siding with the saudis. but i think there are things

question do to cha relati the saudis notwit whatever his person motivations might be. i'm also certain that in the next congress people will look into that. but again, i think congress has to take some ownership of u.s. foreig policy. especi as it relates to our interv war. our unconstitutional fighting of a civil war in yemen that has never been declared by the u.s. congre is a problem. and that's on us. >> final question. i'm curious your reaction to the climat report. this is from the federal govern congress, you guys ordere the federal government to do this. let me give you one of the conclu with continued growth and emissi at historic rates, annual losses and economic sector projected to reach hundre billions of dollars by the end of the century. more t current gross domestic produc product of manufacture thestates. this is not painting a picture of an environmental catastrophe coming but an economic catast what are you going to do about it in congress,

senato >> well, first of all, i look forwar to digging into the report and listening t what other experts on the outside have to say about it. i think it's important any time we take a report like that to examin what public policies they might have in mind. what public policies that could be brought forward that would addres the problem they're addres without simult devastating the u.s. economy. there is no question that for a variet of reasons and regardle regard of where one stands on the issue of climate change that the burning of fossil fuels does emit into the environment a number things that aren't the health >> should we put a price on a carbon tax? are open to a carbon tax? >> no. i'm not. all the proposals i've seen so far that would address any of these issues would devastate the u.s. economy and have little or no benefit that is demons from our standp so i have yet to see a propos that would bring this about. i think if we're going to move

away from fossil fuels, that has to be through innovation and it can be choked out through excessive governme >> a busy morning. we got a lot today. i really appreciate your time. thanks for coming on. i hope you enjoyed your weekend. >> thank you. >> all right. joinin now from the other side the aisle is democratic congre elijah cummings who will join the house oversight commit welcom >> to be with you. let many he saudi issue first and foremost. becaus i know you've been on this issue as well. you have the president disagr with his cia. responsibi oversi -- you see -- do you look to see if he has financial motiva for making the decisi is this something congress needs to look into? >> i think it's definitely someth that we need to look into. and we probably will. keep in mind, chuck, one thing that we're concerned about in oversi is the monument clause

and wondering whet presid is acting in his best intere or those of the americ people. i think this is appropriate and there other committees that will b looking at this too. >> you have so many subpoena reques you have members t the investig to start. your job is to prioritize this. explai your priorities, how are you going to make decisi what i worthy of the commit and what will it look like sort of crass partis politics? >> there are a number of things that we have requested, some 64. these are things we would have normal done under republican or democratic administration. let's be clear. the american people said to us throug this election we want accoun we want to check on this presid the united states. but they also said something else. they said we want you to solve our problems. and a lot of our emphasis is going to be on and laser focus on things like the skyrocketin

cost of prescriptio drugs, healthcare, dealing with things like issues like opioids and one that is near and dear to me, voting rights. we are going to look at all of that. now as far as president trump a -- and his administration, the americ people said they want robust and transparent invest with integrity. i haven't figured out exactly what order they're they'r important. but i guarantee you we'll look at them quite a bit. >> i want to play for you -- put up a quote from jason chavitz. you were the ranking member when he was chair on the republican side of the aisle. he says, first of all, he makes the claim, i sent letters and subpoe to the trump admini and got no respon i was stimied every step of the what m think that elijah comin cummin get a response?

was he stymied? >> no doubt about it. i think the remembers were aiders and abetters with regard to hel trump p do some o the unfortunate things he's done. presid trump knew there was not going to be any push back. now he knows there is going to . it is to be serious push that's what the american people want. i don't know what will happen. we're going to be very careful with issuing subpoenas. i don't want people to think th first walk in there we're going have 30 subpoenas going out the door. not going to do. we're going to carefu and make sure that it's done with integrity. >> you did not have your own subpoe power when ranking rememb >> that's right. for a long time. >> the first time that had ever happen compared to previous congre correct? >> right. >> do you plan on granting your rankin member own the republ side subpoena author >> no.

>> so your not? explai why you wouldn't. if you believe this is something that should have been granted to you when you were in the minori >> i didn't say that. you know, they who have power in washin all power. >> right. >> and i think the american people have said they want checks and balances. the subpoenas that i want to issue would be much different than ones that what i have seen. i want to issue them that go to the very heart of our democracy and protecting that democracy and subpoenas by the way that may involve, say, private indust like the pharmaceutical compan with these skyroc drug prices. i just don't -- it's our opport i will consult with them. i work with them. unlike they did with me. but, no. >> this is one of those what's good for the goose is -- i guess the point is when do you stop? >> chuck, let me be clear. i'm hoping that we will return to a level of civility now.

that's what i'm hoping for. hop that just doesn't move to common ground but move to higher ground and i plan to lead that way. one other thing, we've got -- our democratic party, we -- althou we may not have been le electe all the people, we have t govern as if we were. w? you ha to work with this presid >> oh, yeah. i will love to work with presid trump. i want to hold him accountable not only to the american people but i want to hold him accoun to himself. in mind, he said recently that he's for prescr drugs going down. he's the same one who said that he wants -- he complained during the election about the infras and how our airpor so poor and our roads. and now is the time. chuck, we only have two years. that's nothing. and so we've got to get it done. we do not have to -- we do have hit the ground as democrats

runnin we have to hit the ground flying >> let me ask you about the presid potential deal with the incoming government of mexico its no the clear yet if they totall signed off on this but the idea that any asylum seekers that come through mexico seeking asylum would stay in mexico until the court date in the unitedstates. if the president cuts a deal with mexico, are you supportive? >> no. >> why? >> because that's not the law. they should be allowed to come in, seek asylum. that's the law. and we don't -- >> would you support chang the la no. i think we have a system that has worked for a long time. the president wants to change it. that's up to him. now th cone has gress to stand up. >> do you think what he's doing is constitutional? >> i don't know. i don't think so but we'll see. you know, the court -- a lot of people don't realize that presid trump is now -- he's basica controlled the legisl because they have been aiding and beeti him and

defend him. he controls the executive branch and now he controls pretty much or trying to control judiciary. so he's basically had all three branch with no check. now he has a check. and, again, chuck, let's not be confus we have to address the things that the american people want us to address. they'r tired of this. they'r tired of hearing the lies. they'r hearing people say that lies are truth, truth is lies. they'r tired of it. and what they're saying is help me get my prescriptio drugs. help me get health care help g roads fixed. if you're return that, isn't what you want the focus to be. >> focus is on -- my zero focus is on the day to day lives of the american people. but i'm also -- by the way, we can do more than one thing at a time. i'm also focused on making sure that after the storm is over, it we're going through, the trump storm. after that storm is over, what

will we have? will we have our democracy? and as i said, i said to the presid when i spoke to him in his office, mr. president, look, i said i'm 67, you're 70. the greatest gift we can leave to our children is a democracy intact an opportunity. and with the voting rights. and that's so important to me. baltim maryland, thank you for coming down and being here. i hope weekend. >> i enjoyed it. when we come back, president trump on the courts, the intellcommunity, the press, our ♪ what would you like the power to do? ♪ listening to people answer that question, is how we find out what matters most to them. for a business, it's the power to grow. for an entrepreneur, it's the power to innovate. and for a family, it's the power to own a home. we stand with the ones who day in and day out

us everything that we already know about donald trum which is that his entire point of refere everything that he thinks about is about himself. and that is going to be the answer to every question you ask today whether it is about saudi arabia or climate change or about anything else. donald is number one about donald trump. >> so how do you conduct a policy how do you conduct the basics of govern under this? >> you know, i was just thinking about what i'm thankful for is forme. this is great. i'm thankful for me. >> i'm thankful for you. and you and you and you. >> it's always been me, me, me. so it is sort of that's what we have come to expect. i think what's been really intere in the past week just watching president trump is starti to -- you really are starti to see made clear just how little he both understands of the united states and what

make this country that we all love. and th things that he does unders is sort of like, you know, how little he cares when he go from the i tacks on the judici to sending american troops to the border, to attack the military for not catchi osama bin laden fast enough when it was actually the cia that was responsible for the hunt for osama bin laden to loo rather refreshing statement on the announce sort of laid out the honest terms the american relati with saudi arabia which has always been pretty transa he just came out and said it. >> he said what it is. i'm going to put up -- he also used eight exclamation points. i highlighted six of them. this was not from the president. it was a statement states americ first. the world is a very dangerous place. i won't read them all here. maybe he did, maybe he didn't. doris questioning. i mean, can you imagine fdr, teddy roosevelt, no you can't, i

know the answer to that already. but the exclamation points. and, yet, helene is right. the most honest statement that a president ever sai relati with saudi arabia. >> the asides is what he is thinki about. i love the one when he was asked in the fox interview, you know, how do you rank yourself with lincol and fdr and ronald reagan and he said a plus. you can't go any higher. so i kemept thinking that buchan was lowest in the polls. recent they did one that put trump so the buchan family was celebrating. they w no longer at the bottom the th worries me is the attack on the institutions, you're attacking the rule of law. worry is do the people themse understand how troubl is? we're in a rip tide that could really throw us over. i saw in a recent study in the "new y they said one out of three people couldn't name branch of the government. one out of ten people thought judge on the supreme court. it's funny but not. where is that civics.

when i was an old girl, a young little girl, we studied. i i want to go back to middle school now teachi middle cool kids and teachi them how to go active in city council and the lastate le legisl >> we're seeing this transa foreign policy play out in such a devastating way through the destruction of instit denigrating the rule of law and justice as a great american import, as part and parcel of our foreign policy and during the 2016 campaign, i think that trump, his message of a different less intervention more common sense foreign policy resona with the american public he was very outspoken about saudi arabia and their role in funnel terrorism around the world. where is that donald trum today? he is back in transactional purely for donald trum mode. and that's why it's key what

repres just said about lookin into donald trump's person ties with saudi arabia. >> just teed up something here. here is thomas friedman. what is the worst thing about presid trump p's approach to foreig policy? the combination is terrible he sells out american values enough but then gets nothing of value in return. a litt harsh? >> well, it's tom friedman. let's take it where it's coming. i don't think that -- i don't think that calling the president a chump is helpful. i don't think that calling him immora although it may be cathar is especially helpful either our relationshi with saudi arabia has always been tran transa relationshi about saudi arabia is always about our larger saudi arabia rule of law or anything else. so my view of this is informed by the problem that we have and

we've talked about many times the politicalization of absolu everything. look, if people cared as much about jamal khashoggi as they did about half a million people in syria, as they cared about the 85,000 kids in yemen, about what i happening about the murder frankly clearly by the way ordered by putin of dissid in the uk. if everybody cared about those the same way, i would credit the object to his statements on saudi arabia a lot more. >> but he was elected to up end the status quo when it came to foreig policy. that's not what he's doing. he's reinforcing the very worst elemen of a policy that quite frankl just isn't working when i would argue that saudi arabia has done more to further terror than iran. that's a debate we can have. but you look at what he's doing. it's not what he was elected in his supporters wanted when they took donald trum to office.

>> that's not quite factual, i'm afraid i think iran is the larger suppor of terrorism. saudi arabia has done more to turn itself around in terms of financ support for terrorism, in terms of support for indivi and in terms of privat support for terrorism than almost any country. iran remains the supporter of hezbol probably the most powerf terrorist group in the countr iran is responsible for what is happen syria. iran is responsible for what is happen bahrain. >> saudi 9/11. >> yes. i think that -- we all remember 9/11. thank >> all right. pause the convers there. is campaigning for president's trump impeachment a successful strate to win the nomination in for the 250k service members who transition out of the u.s. military every year... ...one of the toughest parts is the search for a job that takes advantage of the skills you've gained while serving.
