this has been introduced by graham, coons, tiller and booker. the intent of this bill -- and if i'm wrong, sponsors can correct me -- is to ensure that special counsels appointed by the justice department are only removed for cause. the bill allows a special counsel a way to appeal his or her removal by the attorney general to a panel of judges. the bill's bipartisan sponsors introduced two versions of a special counsel bill in august. this committee held a hearing on those bills in september. we heard from constitutional scholars, some who considered the bill to be constitutional and others who felt it was unconstitutional. to some extent, the constitutionalities of these bills depend on whether you think the supreme court decision in "morrison v. olson" is good law. justice scalia dissented in "morrison" and he's justifiably famous and influential as we all remember but its reasoning has not yet been adopted by the majority of the supreme court and the majority of the opinion in "morrison v. olson" was cited with approval by chief justice robe

she is the great granddaughter of booker t. washington and great great granddaughter. 200 years after his birth of frederick doug glasses -- yes, we can applaud that. 200 years after the birth of frederick douglass, i believe it is fitting to ask, why do we remember him? yes, for his achievements, for what he suffered, for his oratory and his writing. for his principles, we remember him for all of that. why he of all men who wrote, spoke, suffered and accomplished? i believe we are attracted to douglass most because of the kind of man he was. in his youthful years, douglass was a slave, taught to read and with a heart born for freedom. he was sent to be broken. in that cruel system, every whip of the lash intended to breed servitude was just as likely to sew the seeds of bitterness. when he achieved his freedom, he had no doubts. there was no purpose in preserving a union conceived in the original sin of slavery. he burned the constitution, having lived the reality of bonding he saw the guarantees of freedom and proclamation of

by the way, cory booker, i always those was politically savvy.ot a politically savvy move unless he's trying to elevate himself as the bad guy of the democratic party. nancy pelosi referred to them as crumbs and lost democrats within her own party on that issue. you have keith ellison coming out and saying $1,000 means something to my constituents. charles: cory booker has been seen as a potential contender for the white house. when he first ran for mayor, one of the first people to back him was jack kemp. a moderate republican who pushed end prize zones. i just think it's a mistake to keep dissing the tax plan. >> we are having an ideological battle. cory booker is trying to be whatever whoever this control of the democratic party is shaping him to be. if i had $1,000 for every idiotic thing nancy pelosi or cory booker said i would be taking a trip to europe. if i had $1,000 for everything donald trump said that was side i would fly privately. charles: he didn't even know what he was going to say. when he's passionate about something, he's cryin

senator booker: hello, i am senator cory booker from the state of new jersey. about a week ago, hundreds of thousands of our fellow americans went out and marched to demand action on gun violence in america. this was not a right or left, republican or democrat, this was a movement about right and wrong. these were americans joining their voices together in a hallowed tradition demanding freedom, and in this case, freedom from mass slaughter, freedom from fear, freedom from preventable violence. people stood together, marched together, lifted their voice in this american tradition. where change doesn't always come from washington. it must come to washington from citizens standing up and demanding change. and what they are yearning for is not out of the margins of what we all believe most americans, gun owners and non-gunowners, republican and democrat, old and young, agree that there are common sense things we can do to drive down gun violence in our country, including loopholes that allow people with ill will that allows criminals to obtain guns, whether it is

in a bipartisan group this morning, senators graham and tillis, booker and coons, have introduced legislation that would help protect the special counsel. why not pass this legislation now and avoid a constitutional crisis? why not avoid an injury to the body of this great country and then try to stitch it up? why not avoid an injury instead of sustaining it and trying to stitch it up? that's what we should be doing. let's not wait until it's too late. let's head the constitutional crisis off at the pass by passing the bipartisan legislation introduced by graham, tillis, booker, and coons, and take the threat of a crisis off the table right now. so i urge senator grassley to schedule a hearing and markup on this bill, to report it out of his committee. we must be sure not to water it down with amendments or accept changes that would render it useless. i urge leader mcconnell to then take that bill to the flood put it on the floor where we can debate it and pass it. surely something this serious deserves the time and attention of u.s. senators, and i dare say if legislation, bipartisan legisla

senator booker and sen. coons: at i enjoyed working with you trying to find a way forward for the country. special counsel's by nature are unique and they should be. this came about as a conflict. there is no proof of collusion between the trump campaign and the russians that i have seen but the point is the campaign is under investigation of attorney general -- investigation. attorney general sessions made the right choice saying i cannot investigate a member of the trump campaign because i was a member of it. i think mr. rosenstein is doing a good job. hopefully he and mr. mueller will do this in a professional manner. i see no evidence they are doing anything other than that. it would get an answer to those questions sin. i want to build on what senator leahy said. my motivation is to make sure we are a nation of laws and that no moment in time can overcome the rule of law. that we will have special counsel protections in perpetuity. i can see where in the future this may arise and be a conflict in -- it

ditto, by the way, on the booker bill. there are going to be constitutional arguments on either side. notwithstanding the precedent that the senators rely on. and i actually think if it passes, this will au kind of play out at the district court level in the first instance and whether the district court will enjoin the bill or not until it goes up because if the district court says let's keep it as it is, that law is in place, that will be four, five, six months till the supreme court decides that's four, five, six months for mueller to make a lot of hay. >> that's a very good point sort of concrete terms, is there even a legislative it statutory solution to this. >> some legal scholars argue alan dershowitz and a lot of them on right argue the president has a constitutional power under article two to fire anyone in the executive branch essentially so you can't undermine that power by statute or any other reason. that will be the battle if this gets passed. they'll be duking it out in court. >> another piece of legislation

also i wantat to commend senators tillis, kuhn and graham and booker. they were the four that put this together. and as such they have become very important authors of what isim an important law to be passe passed. the bill before us and the grassley substitute other people of these hours of negotiation and i support both. as we the department of justice regulations say special counsel can only be removed forr misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interes interest, or other goodte cause. the bill codifies these regulations to provide an extra layer of protection over the special counsel for defendant the bill does this by providing for judicial review and the city for special counsel were to be fired for unjustified political reasons, the decision could be challenged in court i understand some of my colleagues have concerns about the constitutionality of this legislation. based on what i have learned, i believe it is constitutional and i say that as either a constitutional expert or even a lawyer but let me quote professors of the wit

so now cory booker today quite masterfully puts him on the spot and says you were on this radio show where they talk about things like muslims wanting to impose sharia law in america and muslims should be prosecuted for this. you didn't speak out about that. so he turned his own words really on himself. when you are questioned directly and say do you believe being gay is a perversion, do you believe that gay sex is a perversion and the best can you say my record is unambiguous, you're essentially saying yes, you do believe that. you could explain. >> you could explain. whether religion is okay, there's a simple answer to that question. when you compare the state of play today on the issue of islam compared to say george w. bush visiting a mosque day after 9/11 make a very public and definitive statement about it and others in the trump administration, mike flynn made similar comments about the muslim faith. that's a slide backwards. there is a simple way to answer that question, which is ri respect islam as much as i do judaism or any other religion. >> the president tweeted yesterda

also, the bipartisan special counsel bill crafted by senators tillis, booker, and graham. i really want to thank the senators. they have worked together for several months to reach a compromised bipartisan bill. that codifies the existing regulations. to protect the -- the special counsel. and create a judicial review. i support this legislation and hope leader mcconnell will reconsider giving it floor time. it is readyleast, at it could go at any time on the floor. i understand some of our republican colleagues would like to hold the bill over and that negotiations are ongoing regarding possible amendments. on a quick glance, it appears some changes may be acceptable. and some may warrant further discussion. as i stated previously, i am concerned about requiring law enforcement officials to report prosecutorial decisions during open, and all investigations. create newot reporting requirements that could bring about obstruction or political pressure. i hope amendments to the bill will build on the bipartisan work that has been done to keep the legislation balanced, and i l

cory booker of new jersey, senator booker brought up lgbt issues with this candidate. talk to me about that. what's the take away for the american people on that? >> there are various perspectives on that issue. the problem i find, we saw some democrats ask really serious questions, on china, for exampl example. the problem is cory booker and others who are either trying to gin up their base, playing to those cards, it undercuts the notion that america has a role in terms of its members of congress asking tough questions of the executive branch about matters of importance. clearly when you are interviewing someone who wants to be the next chief diplomat of the united states, i would suggest the lgbtq rights are not as serious concerns as russia or china or iran or our allies that senator booker claims president trump so disregards. >> harris: sure. it's an interesting set of topics we've seen rollout among the 21 senators on that committee who will ask the first two questions and then get a second go around as they eventually take a break. we are covering it all. presi

>> oh my. >> cory booker, stabbed me. i was like, "cory booker." oh my god, cory!one, was that the hbo one? >> oh, my god, yeah, like 20 years ago. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: i love that one, the one with farley. >> that was -- yeah. i was with farley. >> that was before there was a a netflix. >> yeah, pre-netflix. >> jimmy: pre-netflix. that was the original netflix. hbo. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah, that's true. >> jimmy: yeah. but farley was in it. >> farley came on in the middle of the show. actually -- >> scary. >> when i did my hbo special a a long time ago, farley -- i would sing a haunted song. >> jimmy: yes. >> and then every night on tour, a different guy would come out and run out and pretend to be the mad man who lives in the house. and so i was doing the show in chicago. farley goes, "hey, can i be the guy?" i said "yeah, yeah. most -- just so you know, a lot of times the guys come out in their underwear." and he goes, "oh. well, my manager told me i shouldn't do that." [ laughter ] and i said, "okay, you don't have to." he goes, "yeah, he said that i'v

senator booker, i'm wondering why you decided to introduce legislation today. urgency to protect the special could be sell right now. >> i introduced this legislation last year. we had a hearing about this. >> okay. >> so, there's been a lot of movement on the legislation, but you're right, anderson, there seems to be a renewed sense of urgency to move this forward and i'm hopeful we're going to get this into our committee and out of our committee and god willing, perhaps even to the senate floor for a vote. >> we obviously learned today that during the fbi raid on michael cohen's home, the office, the hotel, the fbi saw communications between then candidate trump and cohen about that "access hollywood" tape. i'm wondering what you make of that and does the president's reaction to that raid add to the concerns about mueller? >> yeah, well, first of all, we have a constitutional crisis in the making, should we ever have between now and the future in history have a president who he himself orm his associates are under investigation, and in this case, we've seen h

i hope cory booker brought his comfort bonnie. how do you know pompeo deserves the good?> please remove. >> greg: she totally nailed it it. pompeo isn't a diplomat. that should be on his business card. when you reduce people to gibbering fools, you know you have a winner. see this tweet from al gore. senators should reject mike pompeo. he denies the climate crisis and has been doing the bidding for fossil fuel interests his whole career. well, gore does no fossils. he's about as up-to-date on world events as fred flintstone. again, if al is a "no," pompeo is a "yes." here's another. over 180 national orgs covering issues for national security and women's health to climate change and human rights have publicly opposed pompeo. #stoppompeo. unlike those groups, pompeo is no pacifist. ask isis if you can still find them. without nonpacifist, pacifists would be bones under a dictator's boot. it's easy to be a holy man on a mountain or on capitol hill but in the real world, things are more dangerous. diplomat is nice but a realist is better. we need pompeo, not deepak chopra. w

the bipartisan legislation introduced by senators graham, coons, tillis, and booker has no real down sides to it. it would simply provide a legal avenue to restore the special counsel if existing d.o.j. regulations are breached and he's fired for political reasons. so what is the reason not to do it? why not head off a constitutional crisis at the pass rather than waiting until it's too late? the rule of law is fundamental to the functioning of our democracy. why even flirt with the prospect of a president challenging the very nature of our system of government? so i would urge my friend, leader mcconnell, to think twice about this. think not simply of his responsibilities to his party. not simply to doing what the president might want, but to our country and our constitution. and if you think of it in those terms, i think it's inevitable that we would want to pass this legislation. and that's because the rule of law is fundamental to the functioning of our democracy. to flirt with the prospect of a president challenging the very nature of our system of government is a real mistake.

booker that the government needs to do a far better job allocating our money that they take. i mean the idea that they can somehow take more and spend more, that never works out well. >> never works out. called socialism i guess, right? in this country, you take the risk. you go to work, and benefits, if the business does well. the more money stays in people's pockets. what i love about this, this is really a bipartisan issue. i don't think there is anyone out there who would honestly tell you they want to give more money, warren buffett aside, maybe, they want to give more money to the government and keep less. trish: let them, by the way. warren said this. war en, give all you want, i'm all for it. anyone wants to give more of their paycheck to the government to have the government spend, have at it. >> have at it. trish: i welcome you have the opportunity to do that. but to turn around it say to every other person working out there you need to give more so that your government officials can spend more, often quite needlessly, it just doesn't make any sense. michael, great

and they made this acquisition in booker. now you got the biggest retailer and the biggest wholesale distributor combining forces, and that gives tesco a lot of control if the market. >> of course they are still met with a lot of competition from the likes of heavy discount players like lidl and aldi how are tesco able to pare up to that >> that's the biggest challenge in the sector, aldi and lidl went to 11% to 12% market share in a matter of years, tesco eluded to the fact they're looking at a discount concept today. they declined to expand upon that, but they have to be aggressive with pricing. >> can you so their target is on keeping up the margins, how can they target margins and be competitive with the likes of these discount retailers like lidl and aldi >> that's the question we had inflation that hech ehele comp in the market to keep that 28% market share they have to be aggressive on pricing. again, it's a cost-cutting issue. also it's having this wholesaler, this vertical integration that will help them with the inp

>> i've met cory booker many years ago, i was very impressed. i'm not impressed anymore. it was ridiculous. do you approve of gay sex and lgbtq? it was a waste of time. there's a lot of poison in the air and the closer you get to these hearings to these november elections, the more poison there's going to be. a lot of this was directed at mike pompeo. he was sitting there, but these were corner shots aimed to get after donald trump. pompeo is a more nuanced guy than donald trump. they were trying to make him as uncomfortable as possible, but as pete said, he's smart. a tough week for the senate by the way. there is about 80 iq points on the average senator there, so it's a tough week for them by comparison. i didn't like the way they behaved it all. it was really bad, it tells you where things are and washington right now. >> martha: it really does. i agree that cory booker when he came on the scene, he was so impressive in so many ways, but it appears to be so transparent what he was trying to do in there today. you also have to wonder why it's not all right for a secret

we talked about conor lam and corey booker.booker is done with the situation here where the tax cuts are not as good or perhaps even detrimental to a lot of people in the blue states. even those trump one. historically it's more of a blue state. when trump is speaking to the audience from a strictly saying he doesn't care. i'm not sure how to feel about that. i'm a blue state guy. neil: i'm sure he likes you just fine. >> don't get me started. in terms of the strengths come he's played with them. dream to one of the things we are seeing is the president is famous economic engine is just starting. a shot at larry kudlow singable leap to a boom. americans going to the polls will need a little bit more evidence perhaps in a few months they will see it. what is your sense of the number crunches? >> i looked at gallup, but all of these polling companies sometimes after the election we went through, i'm surprised any of them are still running numbers. 52% disapproving of the tax cut to their bottom line of 39% approving. that is not

with me are michael booker he's the deputy editor of the daily express and broadcaster and lynn fauldslynn faulds wood. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in, and syria makes many of the headlines. the metro focuses on donald's trump warning to president assad and his allies that they will pay the price for what the paper calls an outrage. the ft picks up the same theme, highlighting trump's tweet calling assad an animal. the daily express have chosen to put a distressing picture on the front page, to highlight the horror of the alleged chemical attack. the daily telegraph highlights trump's claims that vladimir putin was partly "responsible". the guardian claims it has a leaked home office document which alleges government cuts to the police "may have encouraged" violent offenders. the times has the same picture as the guardian illustrating the syria attack story — it also has story claiming the nhs is wasting £40 million a year on a useless injection for back pain. syria dominating the front pages there, but let's have a closer look behind the headlines. and various interpret

the marketplace from the discounters aldi and lidl, from tesco's move into wholesaling by buying booker the uk grocery market. the question is will this "bigger is better, bigger is safer" strategy be enough to convince competition authorities, suppliers and, of course, customers? both brands will continue to trade side by side, although competition authorities may force some sites to be sold, when they dominate certain areas, like here in keighley, where customers are unsure how it will work. i think it's a bit strange, actually, because they're completely at different ends of the market. ijust wonder which way they are going to go. i'm not quite sure how it is going to work, to be quite honest, especially with them being so close to each other. and in most towns, they do have both, don't they? there is another bold promise. although some may be sold, no stores will be closed or in—storejobs lost. that has left some suppliers fearing that they will bear the brunt of any cost savings. if there's no store closures and no cost—cutting by sainsbury‘s or asda, it's the suppliers who are goi

corey booker echoing a theme that nancy pelosi used some weeks back telling a new jersey audience that it is indeed crumbs for the average person. i have a feeling mitch mcconnell might slightly disagree with that he joins me now as my special guest. thank you. >> 80% to 90% of the american people get tax relief out of this bill. not a single democrat voted for it. as you pointed out in your introductory observations. they want to take this to the american people. and we're happy to do that to see whether the american people think it's a good idea for us to let them keep more of their hard-earned money rather than sending it to us to be spent on whatever we choose to spend it on. i think it really kind of sums up the major differences between the parties these days, neil. i got a letter from all but three of them before we passed the tax bill saying what kind of tax reform they would be willing to support. and it was all about class envy and wealth transfer. it had nothing to do with actually getting the economy growing. and in the end, of course, even the three who didn't sign the let
