marco rubio has not jumped on board. a lot of comparisons to watergate. the water shed moments for that is after the drip, drip, drip after members of congress started to get on board. >> we're going to go in now to listen to the opening statements at the senate intelligence committee. let's listen. >> he was leading a counterintelligence investigation between any links between the trump campaign or trump representatives and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and russia's efforts to interfere in our election. for many people, including myself, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that the president's decision to remove director comey was related to this investigation. and that, that is truly unacceptable. we were scheduled to hear directly from director comey today in open session. we, and the american people, were supposed to hear straight from the individual responsible for the fbi investigation. we accepted asking director comey a series of questions about his actions and the actions of the fbi in terms of looking into which trump ass

but nicole, that answer from marco rubio is what we're talking about. >> marco rubio has a fully functioningmunications staff. he also is able to sort of understand the political, the national security, and the legal aspects of where the story is heading in a way the president isn't. two remarkable things that i flar heard from marco rubio. he said, he was asked if rosenstein, based on the memo, that comey would be fired. he said wasn't clear. i've heard it had boss i think that it may have been on the white house lawn and surrogates reading from the memo as political cover for hing done the very act of firing james comey. the other extraordinary thing i haerld marco rubio say is we are a nation of laws. not of men. when asked about donald trump's early morning post tv show rage that seems to boil around 7:40 to 7:50 when he tweeted morning it was a witch hunt. and i think marco rubio showed some of his political acumen saying we are a nation of laws, not a nation of men. >> michael smith from "the new york times" is with us. for any moment during the last few days, know that among his stori

senator marco rubio and welcomed the members of his team. since 2011, senator rubio has been a strong advocate for shared prosperity and economic growth throughout the hemisphere . as a member of the senate foreign relations committee, he plays an instrumental role in developing and influencing us foreign policy across the world. he remains particularly invested in growth and is not in the western hamster. as chairman of the senate subcommittee on western hemisphere, transnational crime, civilian security, democracy, human rights and global women's issues, senator rubio works to advance common agenda and values that the united states has with 32. it's been a leading voice on human rights and democratic principles. in cuba and in venezuela and in the hemisphere. as a venezuelan american, married to a cuban-american this is something that i particularly appreciate. senator rubio's values are rooted in his family achievements, from humble origins when his parents arrived in 1956 to earning their way into the middle class. then, this was consolid

why no one a smashing marco rubio taking the subsidies away. that is why they are pulling out. i would like an answer. most conservatives and most republicans have a hard time in any industry and the problem is the product is just not economically feasible will. everyone wants a handout to pay for that. what rubio is trying to do is event the government continuously writing like checks to the health care industry here the second point, tax cuts to whatich, i am not sure you're referring to. in the president's plan, we will go from seven different brackets to three. everyone will see a tax cut. you will have a simplification of the system and everyone will see reduced rates, which i believe will go to higher growth. the final thing, what you're referring to there is a lock box. a lot of the taxes you are paying for social security go to the federal government and then instead of you putting that money over into social security, social security rights and i'll you back into the government and the money gets spent for day-to-day operations. this is the home with social security. i

we'll hear from a key senator marco rubio and what can we expect from the council, robert mueller. he takes the reins of the investigation. we'll talk to the top senator on the committee dianne feinstein and what do americans make of this? we'll have the latest and our politics panel will weigh in on "face the nation." i'm john dickerson. it was another week of chaos and destruction for president trump and he wasn't happy about it. >> no politician in history and i say this with assurity has been treated worse or unfairly. >> dickerson: much of the trouble was self-inflicted. monday the "washington post" reported the president gave russians information that wouldn't have been shared with let alone an add vary and there was i moment -- memo from james comey that the president was asked to let go of the investigation into michael flynn. john mccain was reminded of previous presidential tampering. i think we've seen this before. it's reaching the point of a watergate size and scale. >> dickerson: a council was named to investigate and president trump was asked about the decision. >> w

electionsment it's going to be tough to get through the naon all eye itself are on ted cruz and marco rubiove to watch ted cruz, the think he has to decide does he he want the result or the issue. if this works he can't primary donald trump in h 2020. so the result or the issue, the choice is his so if he fights against it then he can use it against the president later in if he sings it, if he and marco rubio sing this they could be opening the door to a 2020 primary. i really think trump needs to pass healthcare to make himself bullet proof in a republican primary. i'm convinced that jackies secretly or not so secretly coaching ted cruz present this couch on how to run for president. if he paid enough, i would. offer tans. it was a good day for republicans, but i think a lot of people say i was bd day for especially are and it. i think it was a bad day for the country. i think it was a bad day for the 24 million americans who are probably going to lose health insurance. this its core a punitive bill. older americans will see a premium increase because this bill allows for rather than a thr

on behalf of the council of the americas i'm delighted to introduce our keynotes weaker, senator marco rubio and welcome the members of his team. senator rubio has been a strong advocate for shared prosperity .nd economic growth as a merit of the senate foreign relations committee he played an instrumental role in developing and influencing u.s. ,oreign-policy across the world while remaining particularly vested in growth and filament in the western hemisphere. as chairman of the senate subcommittee, transnational crime, civilian security, democracy, human rights, and global women's issues, senator enhances common agendas that the united states has with the region. in cuba and venezuela. senator rubio's values are rooted in his family achievements from humble are meant that humble origins to his than this wasl against a cynic victory -- senate victory. these experiences have shaped the courageous leadership and steadfast determination to .ackle deep challenges mr. senator, we thank you for your leadership on issues of consequences for the united states of relations in the western hemisphere

much to talk about and while we await president trump's speech i want to get to republican senator marco rubio, on the intelligence and foreign relations committees. senator, thanks very much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> good morning. >> i'm interested in hearing your response to a specific excerpt from president trump's speech in saudi arabia this morning, specifically this part, "we are not here to lecture. we are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be or how to worship. instead we are here to offer partnership based on shared interests and values to pursue a better future for us all." senator, frankly, i cannot imagine you ever saying anything like that, when standing in a country like saudi arabia. are you concerned at all about the president seemingly abdicating the very public role of the united states in standing up to are democracy and human rights? >> well, i mean yes, that would not have been a part of the speech i would have delivered for the reason i think it's in our national security interest to advocate for democracy and freedom and human rights

we turn to republican marco rubio who joins us from miami, florida. welcome, senator. i want to start with former director james comey. he will testify in front of the intelligence committee which you are on. what do you want to know? >> the media report raise questions that deserve answers what do the memos say and why did you write them and what was your feeling. the american public deserves to know the answers. that's fair to the president and fair to director comey and fair to the country. >> dickerson: what did you make the new york times report where he said i just fired the head of the fbi. >> i didn't see the notes. i had a conversation with the white house. people in that meeting denied anything had been said in that meeting that could compromise sources, methods or intelligence. they said there were no transcripts, there were notes. i encouraged them to make them available to the committee. that's not happened and apparently someone has discussed them or leaked them. we haven't seen them and i'm not sure that's an accurate description of the notes. that's why

[ light laughter ] marco rubio!ter and applause ] now, the comey firing has invited obvious comparisons to richard nixon's actions during watergate. with many calling trump's move "nixonian." in fact, the nixonian label has been tossed around so frequently in the past 24 hours, that even the nixon presidential library felt compelled to distance itself from trump. >> the richard nixon library responded to commentary that comey's firing was "nixonian." in a tweet they wrote, "fun director of the fbi." [ audience ohs ] >> seth: here's another fun fact. you know it's bad when even the nixon library thinks you're bad for their brand.

it would have to be maybe somebody on the likes of a marco rubio on the republican side and maybe an elizabeth warren on the democratic side. even then, it would not be the same thing because of it was done by cnn, fox, msnbc, c-span, you would not have the concentrated audience that you have today when there is basically only cbs, nbc. >> historian and author joining us from pit. i keep your time on c-span3. >> good to be with you. >> never let anyone to find you. that is the first lesson i want to leave you with. only you define who you are. ,> our hearts should be open not just of falling in love to the world. we need to look and care and we need to contribute. >> don't ever let anyone tell you your dreams are silly. if you have to look back on your life, regret the things that you did and not what you did not do. >> nothing stays still. things will change. the question for you is whether and how you will participate in the process of creative change. just a few past commencement speeches from the c-span library. watch more speeches on saturday, may 27 and monday, memorial day. >>

but the tax credit idea, marco rubio, mike lee. these are people who have, are looking at these efforts as reality, potential reality. >> i did notice it looked like the ivanka care proposal kind of morphed a little bit into something that was, you know, maybe not quite so favorable to those at the top by extending a childcare dependent tax credit, but that's not refundable, so it lacks some of the saliency that we're talking about today. i think we should move to the audience for some questions. is that okay? >> sure. >> okay. >> it's also, i'm waiting to see what the details are on the ivanka trump program, but it only now applies to mothers and not to -- so, i mean, there's some work that has the get done. >> true. that yeah. >> my name's melissa, center for american progress. thank you so much for your leadership and your work on these issues. my question is sort of about building the political and public will. you've noted in your remarks that, you know, 70% of the middle class finish.

i think it was marco rubio who made the point if you just use donald trump's campaign for president as a template, only when you do that does what's happened since he was inaugurated start to make sense. i mean, remember, it was a controversy, it was a source of outrage from the establishment folks out there during the campaign when donald trump had loose lips about the intelligence briefings he received as a candidate. we saw that during the campaign. >> that's right. how about that, michael steele? how about our party sitting by with the few notable exceptions, i'm keeping score, i've got five now, with a few notable exceptions, most of them keeping their mouth shut about a guy who's spilling secrets in the oval office to the russians of all people. >> which is why the whining now about the president is, to me, a little bit disingenuous because it's not like we haven't seen this movie before. in fact, we were, you know -- >> didn't jeb bush say i told you so? >> you have jeb saying i told you so. and there are a number of republic chance who are now in that space. but the thing about

you this marco rubio say to jake on "state of the union" there's this clout surrounding everything. woo be this grounds for obstruction of justice and he said look if any president did what has been reported to have been done this president denies that would be possible obstruction of justice, john mccain saying's ealmost speechless. do you see this as any different what the president faced before as far as a growing divide between his leaders and his own party? >> i think it's different because now he's the president. we've seen in the past during the campaign in the early days of the administration friction between president trump or candidate trump and others who saw him as a political liability. folks like john mccain andrevea. these guys see some of the same classified information folks in the white house see through their roles in the senate and so you're not just talking about differences in messaging or differences in tactic. you're talking about profound disagreements in terms of national security strategy. >> jay, do you see this as different this time around? it is differ

marco rubio, mike lee and there is a history of bipartisan support for these kind of credits. the child tax credit would introduce in the republican contract with america in 1994. and first became law under a democratic president bill clinton. and a gop congress in 1997. if you look at the history of is is the earned income tax credit, did it have support from democrats and republicans? and now there are many conversations taking place about taxes, surely, surely there can be and should be room for our youngest and most vulnerable children and families to be included. last week the trump administration rolled out an outline of their tax proposals. and while it is not fully flushed out, it is clear -- okay. that his proposal will not help families with the most need. the biggest challenge that faces our country is that people are in jobs that just don't pay enough money. families do not make enough money to live on. all of our policies should share the goal of reducing the burden on working families. and investing in the future. again, the policies have bipartisan interest and

host: the -- after the senators met with rod rosenstein, senator marco rubio tweeted this out, that the special counsel bob mueller is expected to ask congress to scale back public hearings with witnesses who might be part of his investigation. and you have lindsey graham, his subcommittee is doing their own investigation telling "the washington post" that his committee would probably have a hard time finding a link now and said mueller's appointment probably well shuts it down. guest: i disagree. it doesn't shut it down in any sense. we talked about the difference of a congressional investigation and an f.b.i. investigation. this happens a lot. you'll have at times congress investigating something and the f.b.i. looking at a criminal investigation. sometimes you have the f.b.i. doing a criminal investigation and state authorities doing an investigation. whenever you have that you want to coordinate it. i think -- while i think senator graham and senator rubio overstated it, what may happen is always what happens in situations like this. you'll try to deconflict. the f.b.i., just to giv

i can tell you that we heard in an exchange with senator marco rubio with the acting director, the republicanrom florida asking him if the firing of director comey had any impact on the ongoing investigation, to which he responded quote unquote, there has been no effort to impede our investigation to date. there is no question that the biggest point of difference between this administration and mr. mccade came at that statement he just made. when he says there has not been any kind of dissent among the rank-and-file members of the fbi with director comey. that is a big point of difference between the administration which has argued for several days that that was part of the reason that led to the firing by president trump. i can also tell you that nbc news interviewing president trump, the headlines crossing on the bloomberg as we speak, in which president trump says it was his decision alone to ultimately fire director comey. the sources i am talking with say they would like to ask the white house would like to name some replacement over the next couple of days. in order to bring this to som

congressman kinsinger, let me start with you, you heard our conversation with marco rubio, but he saysd that the reason president trump fired comey, as the president stated in that interview with lester holt and in the "new york times" stated that the president was trying to get him to back off the flynn investigation. >> as a current member of congress, i have to be careful because to make accusations and to assume based on what you have heard in the media, based on a report you haven't seen, we need all this investigation to make that case. that's why i actually called for the appointment of a special prosecutor, the morning before it actually happened. because this has become so political. i have friends on the left who are saying impeachment. is that's not helpful. we need honest answers, it's not going to necessarily change what people think. but one of my biggest concerns right now is not 2018, or 2020, it's the institution of the u.s. government and the faith in government has been so under mined that i actually worry about stability in the long-term. so for me, this special pro

>> i think -- and marco rubio was there, as well. impressive room of people. i think what was really interesting is they were very focused on this provision in the leaking. i think this is important. i know democrats are going to say, well, republicans are just using the leaks as a diversion, but if you look actually at the history of the past eight years of the obama administration, they were very aggressive in going after leakers. i think as a former intelligence professional, someone who served bush and obama administrations, what's most worrisome to me in this debate is is intelligence being polite sitpoliticized by administration? there are people working every day who don't want to see political appointees politicizing the intelligence they're using. >> wait -- >> yates and clapper said they did not leak. they have never leaked. >> right. >> so was the sense at the table last night they're going to get down bottom of who did? >> i don't want to speak on behalf of anybody, but it seems like they are -- yes, it is a concern about who leaked, but also i thi

you just spoke to senator marco rubio about this when he was asked very quickly last night after theto really comment. what is he saying now? >> john and poppy, we're really trying to get a litmus test here from senate republicans because they'll be the ones who make the important decision as the fbi director moves forward and perhaps the opening to a special prosecutor when it comes to the russia situation. so we did catch up with senator rubio very briefly and asked him about both topics and this is what he had to say. >> do you think to the point now where we should have an independent prosecutor in the russia investigation? >> yeah. i think we should wait for the senate report to come out and then based on that we can make that determination. >> would you be open to it if it got to that point? >> of course, but we're not at that point, and so i think we should wait for all of the facts to come out via the intelligence committee report and then at that time that determination can be made. >> were you concerned at all with the timing of the president's decision on comey? >> i was c

one other story is an op-ed in today's wall street journal from chris coons and marco rubio.very senator agrees that the u.s. must change is the headline. they write -- ex line -- they write -- one more call on this question, should people with existing conditions pay more? ernestine is in west virginia. independent. caller: good morning and thank you for c-span. yes, i believe they do, because even with private insurance, as you get older, and older people have more problems, their insurance increases. i think that yes, people should with pre-existing conditions should pay more. that is my thought. thank you very much. host: that is going to do it

this is what senator marco rubio told me a little while ago. >> accuracy is important and understandhaeg happened -- [ inaudible ] would be fair. i think it's the right thing to do to the american people, fairness to the administration, but we need to learn more about it. we have very specific questions. i hope they'll be answered at some point today. >> reporter: and john, the interesting element of that is the senator actually told me that the administration had reached out last night. and i asked, was there more clarity? were any of his questions answered? and he said flatly, no. he expects those questions to be answered today. now, compare that, john, to what senator mark warner just told a group of reporters out here a couple of minutes ago. he is the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee. now, senator rubio says the administration reached out to him. this is what senator warner had to say. >> just from the "washington post" story? >> i think there's a lot of the questions that need to be answered. i'd tell you, you know, one of the things you know as a member of the

take a listen here to marco rubio, senator marco rubio on cnn's "state of the union." >> if any presidentede an investigation, any president, no matter who it is, by interfering with the fbi, yes, that would be problematic. it would be not just problematic, it would be, you know, obviously, a potential obstruction of justice. >> and rick santorum here saying he could see republicans breaking from trump. >> unlike democrats, who will never break with a president, no matter what they do -- i mean, i don't care, you can find them with a smoking gun and a picture, they wouldn't break with him. republicans will. and so, i would say this to president trump -- this can't continue for a whole lot longer. >> with me now, the panel today, angela rye is here, cnn political commentator. david drucker, cnn political analyst and senior congressional correspondent for "the washington examiner" and paris dennard, cnn political commentator and former director of black outrage for the george w. bush white house. david, you've been doing some reporting on this. how real is the fear, trepidation or fear righ

. >> marco rubio just -- >> marco rubio -- >> to duana's point, if the republican loses there, and elsewhereorgia, the white house will be concerned that republicans will turn on them. >> there's so much focus broadly in the political world on what happens in the midterm elections. whether or not there's a chance that the 24-seat majority that republicans have will be lost. but, again, the question is whether or not the canary in the coal mine in the next month or two and whether or not this particular atmosphere, even though there is a republican-led congress, that should be kind of a political firewall for this president, will begin to crumble because of concern about what is going to happen in -- >> now thrown into this already difficult environment is the possible assault, right, by a politician against a journalist covering his campaign. we're going to have the results of this race tomorrow night. so tune in tomorrow. we're going to be following it very closely. >> that's right. >>> all right. switching gears here. next week would have been president john f. kennedy's 100th birthday. as

let's listen to what he had to say and also what senator marco rubio had to say from florida. >> he runs this whole campaign criticizing secretary clinton for the way she used classified information and he says i'm the president and can give classified information to whoever i want. i think he's saying that to assure us? no. by him saying that, that actually frightens people because if you give up classified information and then dry up a source whose information is helping keep americans safe, you just made our country less safe. what, you're doing it again? you're telling anybody you can give any information any time? >> accuracy and u it's fair and the right thing to do for the american people and fairness to the administration but we need to learn more about it and ask very specific questions and hopefully they'll be answered at some point today. >> a number of lawmakers are echoing that message across capitol hill. there's a first for information and they want to see the transcript of what happened in that meeting in the oval office. we just learned according to politico we expect th

. >> bill: senator marco rubio was on air about an hour ago. one of the things he said rings true. he said we're not doing this based on a news article. which suggests that he and others who are serious about this business, they want the evidence and facts. the suggestion is the evidence is the memo. when will we see it? tom dupree was making the case it will be sooner rather than later. in the meantime, relax. we haven't seen anything yet. >> shannon: and as he talked about and in the article that you mentioned with professor turley as well. when you start talking about things like obstruction of justice the federal statutes are very broad and vague. it's a tough case to make. based on anything we've seen so far and the comment the president made if it's accurate as alleged by "the new york times" saying they've read part of the comey memo that he said take it easy on him or can you let this thing go, he is a good guy, you know, just about everyone out there says that would be an incredibly difficult case to actually prosecute in court if you are claiming they were trying to corru
