in 25 or 26 states that every different level, and well-financed people like the koch brothers and sheldon ,delson and a number of others some of the owners of the papers in here, i would venture to say, when their soul mission is to eliminate workers having a voice so they can have the playoff field -- the playing field to themselves, it's going to be a fight, but it's nothing new. labor has always been under attack. i can think of a time in our history when we were not. >> thank you. that.tion related to talk about you could the deterioration you had with the trump administration that led to your resignation from the manufacturing council. discuss whether it was possible for trump's truly re parties, byitical putting pressure on republican and democratic leadership, i doing something that would've capitalized more on the working gains he had. something that might've gotten popular support. obviously didn't support mr. trump in the election. supported his opponent. after the election, they reached out and we reached out. we talked. what i said to them, is that we will judge you by what yo

sheldon: i must admit, i can't help but feel a twinge of envy.n look out the window and see the majesty of the universe unfolding before his eyes. his dim, uncomprehending eyes. it's like a cat in an airport carrying case. you know, it's not exactly glamorous up there. the water that the astronauts drink is made from each other's recycled urine. must be nice. nobody wants anything that comes out of me.

have you guys ever noticed that sheldon always disappears every day at 2:45? really?probably just goes to the bathroom. actually, no, he goes to the bathroom at 8:00 a.m. with optional follow-ups at 1:45 and 7:10 on high-fiber fridays. it's sad that you know that. oh, that's just the tip of the sadness iceberg. i'm looking at his public calendar.

, sheldon, you will, for your clients, you move people, supplies, and technology to sites immediatelyfter the danger passes. and i guess this starts before the storm even hit in texas, you've got 169 people there now with another 200 ready to go the minute it passes is that -- have i got that right? >> well, we have seven permanent offices in texas every day of the year. bellefour presently as we operate in 34 countries and have 7700 people around the world, 169 of our people are located in texas each and every day two days ago we sent in 209 more people >> okay. >> and yesterday we dispatched another 200 people headed to our waco, texas, office. and as of last night, we have finally arrived on site in the corpus christi area to some of our prequalified clients and we're already beginning restoration processes. again, tracting water, preve preventing mold and mill drew from growing and we have an additional 206 people standing by that should be dispatched throughout another 42 belfor offices throughout the country in the next 48 hours >> and, you've got mostly commercial clients you'v

meanwhile, republican senator lindsey graham and democratic senators cory booker, richard blumenthal, sheldon white house introduced a similar bill today. takes the bill further, requiring court approval before removing any special counsel. eboni, the president has the right, their power, constitutional authority to fire the general counsel, special counsel. now you have to go bills, one of the house and one in the senate. >> eboni: guy talks about the resin being boxed in, that's the type of local boxing and were talking about. how could he do it. he still could. he could probably fire rod rosenstein. let go of him, deputy ag. bring in a new deputy ag that person comes in. rosen strain -- rosenstein brought mueller in. >> eric: i have seen nothing, 0.0 russian inclusion, 0.0 evidence of russian collusion. i think the media has done it. some republicans have done it to him. you can't fire the special counsel. >> guy: those bills introduced happen before the news broke on the escalation of the investigation. i think it makes it even more politically difficult for them to move on it but i'm gla

up next, on afterwards, rhode island senator sheldon whitehouse officers his thoughts on how the government is impacted by corporate money and special interest groups in his book "captured". senator whitehouse is interviewed by new york times investigative reporter ache lipton. >> i want to start off by asking why did you write this book. simple question. >> i was getting disturbed at the frustration about the republican government. the real problem isn't the government but the corporate forces. if we can get them where the founding fathers thought, which is out of elections and politics >> you want to go way took to your beginnings. your dad went to jail. he was a diplomat in laos and thailand. tell me about your upbringing and the process of living through the experiences you lived through you developed these ideas. >> growing up in foreign service i saw two things, we were always in dangerous places. growing up, you cannot go to the hospital if you are sick, or go to the movies, if somebody got bit by a dog you had to go through the rabies series because it was probably rabid. people did

so i have a bill that literally has sheldon whitehouse in sport and mitch mcconnell. >> clean coal billll that would provide tax credits for carbon capture out tillization and see questions station. we know we can't reach climate goals. co 2 emission control goals without carbon capture sequestration and outlization. and we know in the cool industry, to survive into the future, we have to be technologically able to do this. so, coming together with different motivations, but all towards the same goal, we've been able to put together a bill. we've almost had that bill pass three times. and i'm looking forward to getting it done this congress. >> what about health care? >> we got off on the wrong foot on headache because the process that was selected was too limiting in terms of what you could do. and we didn't start at the basic question. this is what drives me crazy here. i always say what's the problem we're trying to fix. we obviously know that the insurance markets have trouble and that we have a skewed system where younger people, healthier people pay a great deal for health insuran

senator sheldon whitehouse discusses his book, capture.about the political influence of corporations. then, senator ben sasse's book, but the vanishing american adult, about how to raise children to be independent. senator mike lee was about lesser-known funding father's in his book "written out of history". and it "the least among us" the work in defending antipoverty programs. book tv in prime time, here in c-span2. >> sending on q&a. >> the social and legal response to the issues that black men have is to lock us up, to poke at us in cages, to stop and frisk us, to treat us as citizens whose rates other people don't respect. we are not full citizens of the united states. >> paul butler takes a critical look at the criminal justice system and its impact on african-american men in his book "chokehold". >> there's never been a time for community relations has been anywhere near good. so, for a long time if you're a black person and you call the police to report a crime, if you're the victim, the place to not pay that much attention to it.

andbeing 25 or 26 states and every different level and well-financed people, like the koch brothers and sheldon ,delson and a number of others when their sole mission is to eliminate workers having a voice so that they can have the playing field to themselves, it will be a fight. but it's nothing new. labor has always been under attack. i can't think of a single period in our history when we weren't. this is a two-part question. it is related, i promise. i was hoping you could sort of the deterioration of what relationship you had with the trump administration that led up to your resignation from the .anufacturing counsel and, too, was a really possible thetrump to realign at beginning by putting pressure on both republican and democratic leadership by doing something that would have capitalized more on the working base that he had and won the election with, that would have possibly upset the leaders of both parties, but might have gotten some popular ?upport >> first of all, we did not really support trump in the election. we actively endorsed his opponent. reachede election, they out and we r

horrific accident, kristy and her attorney have filed a lawsuit against the parking garage and owner sheldon. the suit claims the garage owner knew the parking structure wasn't safe. that they ignored laws requiring stronger barriers and that the cables were dangerous, and in need of serious upgrade and repair. they're seeking more than $1 million in damages. >> we obviously want to make sure she's compensated for her injuries and medical expenses, but we also want not only this parking garage to understand the consequences of failing to maintain, and all owners of parking garages. >> i can damn sure make sure that no one else, no one's daughter, no one's wife, no one's husband ever has to get that phone call. >> reporter: last year another car drove over the edge of the same parking garage, dangling by a cable. that driver climbing to safety. >> and the fact that this has already happened once, already, i mean, this is just -- i mean, it's just horrific to me. >> reporter: reached by phone, the owner of the garage company hung up on nbc news. other calls have not been returned. recovering f

i suggest sheldon adelson, paul singer might buy cnn that would be nice. david: that would be interesting. carol, cbs want ad cable news network for a long time. is this the tile? >> certainly there are a whole slew of potential bidders because we're at a time where content is king and i think in general this deal is really good not just for the business community and m&a bankers, really for context how the trump administration is different. if you think back 15 months ago, a $6 billion deal, staples and office depot was rejected on anti-competitive ground. if we're turning around saying this is something that can go forward, i think that is very positive for the landscape and from an m&a standpoint. >> right. >> so many potential suitors i think you could be surprised david. david: particularly since trump hates cnn. cnn part of at&t, it is still, obama administration held back on much flimsier ground if anything. there is a lot of activity going on. why the market generally speaking is up. carol and paul, have a good weekend. appreciate it. melissa. meli

as senator sheldon whitehouse explained. >> if there's been a legal violation here, and this is verytions that there has, then you're dealing with things like indictments and the house potentially beginning impeachment proceedings, and -- people having to start talking under oath instead of just, you know, talking out into the airwaves, where they lie as easily as they breathe. >> seth: i don't think trump lies as easily as he breathes, i think lying is his breathing. inhale oxygen. exhale "1.5 million people came to my inauguration." [ laughter ] trump lies like a whale coming up for air. >> i'm like a smart person. [ laughter and applause ] >> seth: so now -- so now with the stakes getting higher, the attempted explanations coming from trump's team, for don jr.'s meeting with the russians are once again changing and getting increasingly ridiculous. remember, trump and his team argued for months that there was absolutely no contact, let alone collusion with russian agents. but now that the don jr. email is out, they've shifted to a new story, that if there was collusion, it was tota

and one of the gop's biggest donors, las vegas billionaire sheldon adelson declaring his support for mcmaster. yesterday mcmaster repeatedly dodged questions from my colleague chuck todd about his relationship with bannon. >> can you and steve bannon still work together in this white house or not? >> i get to work together with a broad range of talented people, and it is a privilege every day to enable the national security team. >> you didn't answer. can you and steve bannon work in that same white house? >> i am ready to work with anybody who will help advance the president's agenda and advance the security, prosperity of the american people. >> do you believe steve bannon does that? >> i believe that everyone who works in the white house, who has the privilege, the great privilege every day, of serving their nation, should be motivated by that goal. >> wow. following those notable non-answers, tonight there's new reporting on bannon's future at the white house. and trump allies' foreshadowing of a shake-up. and that is thing 2. in 60 seconds. >>> "the new york times" reports late
