maxine waters will be my guest here in just a moment. democrats were also seeking information about deutsch bank's role in a $10 billion, with a "b," there 10 billion russian money laundering scheme for which it has already paid a big fine earlier this year. you heard that right. the same bank that holds the lion's share of donald trump's debt helped investors launder $10 billion out of russia. with news today of the deutsche bank subpoena, we're edging closer to one of the questions at the heart of the russia investigation. to whom does the president of the united states owe money? did the russian government have some kind of financial leverage? donald trump has repeatedly denied any russian financial ties but it's impossible to know the truth without seeing his tax returns. what we do know, the president does not appear eager for robert mueller to examine his finances. here's what he told "the new york times" last summer. >> mueller was looking at your finances, your family's finances, unrelated to russia. is that a red line? >> would

rob: that is not very nice. >> if you don't have anything nice to say you must be maxine waters.stantly -- when was the last time you heard her say anything positive about anybody ever and taking shots at fox news so she is just -- rob: the far left is very angry and she is a perfect example of that. let's go to spicy, sean spicer, he had a couple embarrassing moments during his tenure as press secretary, this is one of them right here. >> this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, in person and around the globe. rob: showing true disdain. you are sitting at home looking at pictures of an empty mall and the largest in the history of mankind, the largest crowd, goodness gracious, when you can't, classic naughty list, don't lie especially if there are pictures. rob: you got to watch your credibility. thanks for coming on this morning. 45 minutes after the hour, a white christmas turned into white out conditions for a major chunk of the country. where this snowstorm is heading as you head back to work, tracking of weather and it is coming up. don't let th

. >> when we come back, i'll speak to maxine waters about another trump camp war. e. >>> this afternoon, the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee, mark warner, took the senate floor to warn president trump directly what will happen if he fired special counsel robert mueller or others involved in the russia investigation. >> firing mr. mueller or any other of the top brass involved in this investigation would not only call into question this administration's commitment to the truth, but also to our most basic concept rule of law. it also has the potential to provoke a constitutional crisis. in the united states of america, no one, no one is above the law. not even the president. >> with me now, congressman maxine water, democrat of california. congresswoman, between mark warner's warning today and your colleague, jackie speier said something on tv the other day about a rumor that the president was going to fire mueller, i can't quite get what information you in congress may have that we don't have, but is there a palpable sense of fear among you and you

not even the president. >> with me now, congressman maxine water, democrat of california.arner's warning today and your colleague, jackie speier said something on tv the other day about a rumor that the president was going to fire mueller, i can't quite get what information you in congress may have that we don't have, but is there a palpable sense of fear among you and your colleagues that something like that is going to happen as soon as congress leaves for recess? >> oh, yes, we are concerned about this buildup that we see. we've been watching what they're doing on fox news, how each day, they're adding to the conversation about whether or not he's being fair to trump. and whether or not someone who served on his staff has made comments about trump that are unreasonable. and so we can see the buildup. and obviously, there's a strategy to undermine and to discredit the special counsel. and so we are on alert. and we're prepared for any firing or any actions that would remove him from this investigation. and we plan to deal with it. >> what does that mean? what can you do?

but maxine waters did not give up. by july this summer she was still pushing. >> donald trump is clearly hiding something when it comes to his finances. there are many unanswered questions. why does trump refuse to reveal his tax returns to the public? why was deutsdeutsche bank a ba that's been fined for russian money laundering and other violations of the law willing to lend hundreds of millions of dollars to trump after his bankruptcies when no other bank would lend to him? >> congressman maxine waters has been on the spot on this issue from the beginning. republicans on the various committees had no interest whatsoever in pursuing this line of inquiry but the democrats have. >> donald trump has said a number of times that he has had nothing to do with russia and i want to ask you director, if you're familiar with deutsche bank and its $300 million loan to donald trump and his organization? >> not something i'm going to comment on. >> director, are you aware that deutsche bank has been investigated and fined over 40

congressman maxine waters great to have you on this saturday. >> thank you. >> let me talk about this interview this week wide ranging spontaneous interview that lasted about 30 minutes. what's your reaction to the substance broadly of what they discussed? >> well, first of all, it's very interesting that the president sat with the "new york times" journalists without any of his aides, anybody around, and he said over and over and over again there has been no collusion. he has a way of repeating things over and over again so as to believe and make others believe that somehow he knows what he's talking about. and he believes the more you say it, the more you can make people believe it. so he used a lot of that time simply repeating that there was no collusion. the other thing that was very interesting about this interview was the fact that he tried to say he thought that mueller would treat him fairly. i think that what he's doing is he's trying to say i'm not a part of what is going on to try to undermine mueller. i'm not a part of trying to get him fire. i'm not with fox news and tho

i am thinking of maxine waters. everybody talks about the caucus that the black caucus should be treated equally but people think the average american is dumb. but we are not. we figured thisp. out. we are not dummies anymore. >> with the nuclear option specifically. then that would be controlled by a democrat that reduces the number of votes and the nominations to the executive branch republicans extended and this is consistent and then to get frustrated with the other side next time a switch with party control. i was not entirely surprisingng to me. >> and with that filibuster we are using w reconciliation now you only need 50 votes to get something done. democrats did that with the affordable care act so now that normal approach to legislation, and with the omnibus continuing resolutions like the back door authorizations which are against the rules of the house and the senate so that seem to be fairly normal. and asas a result to think things through. with a super majority that is a problem in myll opinion. >>hos

what would you suggest. >> maxine waters, will have to offer more than just give money to us because we're opposed to donald trump. it has to be here is what our party is about, not just against the other side. with regards to the fund-raiser numbers, that has to do with resentment with the dnc about the bernie sanders supporters. they saw a dnc that essentially rigged the primary to support hillary clinton and you can't expect those same people who supported bernie sanders to come back and then give share hard-earned money to an organization that rigged party. david: that is another thing that donna brazile talked about in her book. >> you better believe it and it's true. it is visceral. i feel it. i'm political director here for the local party. i have worked tirelessly to try to bridge of divide. we're still not there yet. we have problems internally that we're trying to work on. so cabot brought up a great point, i do agree with him. david: james, let's face it, the republicans will be pretty flush after the tax cuts, at least republicans in the corporate community. i think their

here is congresswoman maxine waters calling the president deplorable while engaging in hyperbole. what about congressman ted lew getting in a twitter slap fight with press secretary sarah huckabee sanders. there was this one before the election. what about the time hillary clinton told trump to delete his account? nothing biased about that, right? here to discuss hypocrisy, media research center vice president dan gainor. dan, we're in tit-for-tat. that is part of the problem here. it is not one-sided. >> part of the reality of free speech. the left controls speech for a long time. if you look at obama's interview he laments the days when there were just three anchors. oh, when we only had cronkite. cronkite basically said the vietnam war was unwinnable right after we won it. et by the way was workinging in kong junction with democrats -- conjunction with democrats working to encourage robert kennedy to run for president. the there good old days are the good ol' days for democrats that doesn't like everybody having their own speech. trish: there has been just a revolution really u

he wuone i'm thinking about is maxine waters. and why do you always talk about, everybody talks about the caucus or spending caucus but when you mention the freedom like you are ds using disparaging words about them. the nk the black caucus, hispanic caucus and freedom equallyhould be treated but don't take this wrong but the e of your ilk think average american is kind of dumb and we are not. we figured this out with donald trump. so you better wake up a. dummies any more and you have a great day. on the nuclear option specifically the call are is the senate n 2013 was in control by deposition and how to change the nomination and reduced the votes needed to end the e on nominations to executive branch and to federal court judges below the supreme court. this year in the spring republicans extended that in the supreme court judges. there is consistent with the way rules and n senate precedents change over time. a little bit of tit for tat. is frustrated enough with the other side to make a dramatic change and the next switch in p

and women on the list that have been the subjects of ethics violation investigations, including maxine waters that has been there a long time. now that we see representative conyers resigning, yes, he did good things in his career. the fact that he wants his son to step in is quite rich since he's been there so long. >> martha: it's a very reliable democratic district in michigan. his son probably has a very good shot at taking over. does that smack of a dynasty and should they be able to do that, wendy? >> no, i don't think so. i don't think the founding fathers wanted this to be a career. i don't think they wanted our elected officials to pay for sexual harassment claims with our tax dollars. him appointing his son as a successor is not right. what is really interesting here, what is overlooked is how for me, conyers has been cannibalized by the democratic party. there's been this level of inequity when it comes to what happened. i am not a fan of sexual assault by any means, but whether it's al franken, we have roy moore, we have donald trump. why is there not an outcry for all of these pe
