you will heal first from the afl-cio president. , mark warner, chris van hollen, ben

joining us once again, senator mark warner of virginia. i want to ask you about that public statement that you made last month asking for william barr's nomination to be withdrawn. have your feelings with mr. barr changed in the interim time since you said that? >> absolutely not. the one thing that's became clear since we saw sessions fired is the top priority for trump is to find an attorney general that would undermine the mueller investigation and that also has a legal view that somehow the president is above the law and can't be say pa kub or held under possible transactions that this president may have committed. he showed that in his first choice, where he picked the acting attorney general mr. whitaker who seemed like his only qualifications was that he was against the mueller investigation and believed the president was above the law. what seems unseemly to me because mr. barr has a long history in washington and among some folks, is well respected but the fact he in a sense sent this job application brief into the president, into

you heard mark warner say this.ording to the democrats i've talked to, they really are going to stay united when it comes to the principle of this negoti the government is open and not closed. >> interesting.lo well, cse, no? you don't see progress? >> don't look at me. and let's be clear. no one in this room knows when the shutdown is going to end. let's knock that right out. there's no cle path. i think part of the reason is because this is no longer purely pragmatic or practical politics. this is amoral issue. i think the shutdown is kind of a symptom of something larger. the wall is a campaignth promis president made to play on something very deeply held that his political base feels. if you want to look for an image that speaks to this, it's probably those stpros who were on the steps of the lincoln memorial, the native american man beating the drum, nathan phillips, and those kids and the make america great again hats that were kind of smirking at him and looking down their n at him. that's the real emblem of

mark warner questioned what the president knew and when me knew it. admitted in new court filings that while he was leading the trump campaign he was also sharing internal campaign polling that has tieing to intelligence. >> to me it appears the closest we have seen to real life actual collusion. the question is what did the president know? what did donald trump know about this exchange of information? did the russians end up using this information in the efforts that took place later in the fall? >> senator warner also said he wanted to see exactly what manafort turned over to the russians, something the top democrats in the house could ask for. sara murray reports. >> seizing on the revelation that paul manafort shared campaign polling data with kilimnik, whether it could have been used to meddle in the election. >> if what the manafort lawyers revealed the accurate how is that not evidence of an effort to collaborate in some way particularly when we saw subsequent that the russians used their social media army to try to influence the election. >> a

you just heard your colleague senator mark warner talking about the fbi counterintelligence investigationo whether president trump worked on behalf of russia against the interests of the united states. warner said the president at one point was almost parroting putin's policies. do you have any concerns president trump may have unwittingly been doing things that would help russia and hurt the united states? >> yeah, i heard an awful lot of innuendo from senator warn or the intelligence committee and has a lot more knowledge about this than i do. that's part of my frustration. i wish the mueller investigation could come to conclusion and he could issue his report. i wish the senate intelligence committee would move more expeditiously to provide us more information in terms of what they found. we're almost two years into this investigation. i've not seen any evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. i have seen evidence of collusion between democrats and russia. with the steele dossier. we still don't have the information on that. so there are a host of questions outstand

so says, senator mark warner . so he has introduced the 'stop stupidity act'.... it would prohibit government shutdowns like the one we all just lived through. stupidity is an acronym which stands for- 'shutdowns transferring unnecessary pain and inflicting damage in the coming years'. our washington d.c. correspondent brie jackson reports, critics of warner's proposal say... it may be unconstitutional, but warner says, he is willing to take that chance. the end of the longest government shutdown could mark the beginning of the end for similar crisis."never again, democrat, republican, president, congress never again another shutdown"in the event of another political standoff...senator mark warner says his bill... "the stop stupidity act"... would automatically renew government funding at current levels.in addition it would withhold the pay of lawmakers and the white house staff instead of hurting federal workers."the only folks that would actually have to feel the pain. would be the legislators, their congressional staff. the white house and the white house staff

>> elizabeth warren, mark warner. politicians under the category of w. president, when he was on with judge jeanine on 9:00 saturday night here on the fox news channel, he said it was ludicrous, the allegation that he was involved with russia somehow. and there should be an fbi investigation of it. but he did not definitively say no, which led to his critics -- like mark warner and others -- saying, "well, listen, he had the opportunity to say no and he didn't." sue saw the president was on his way up to the helicopter today, issuing back flat out now. at the same time, pointing to the people who were leading the investigation at the time he fired james comey, which sparked this discussion. listen here. >> the people that started that investigation are mccabe, who is a proven liar and was fired from the fbi, or lisa page, who was forced to leave the fbi, and her lover, peter strzok. we got their text messages, and what they said in those text messages was shocking. when he talked about bias. also, call me. >> while some democrats including mark warner of

so the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee is mark warner.says this is the closest thing that we have seen to collusion. and you agree, the headline to your new op-ed is called the collusion case against trump just got a lot stronger. can you explain to me why? >> this is the definition of collusion. we had a republican congressman on saying we're still waiting for evidence of collusion. well no, this is it right here when you have the campaign chairman of the trump campaign sharing data and polling numbers with the russians, that's collusion. and they were launching this extensive social media campaign to help elect donald trump and typically when campaigns do advertising, they need data in order to be able to target it in order to figure out who they're trying to reach and what kind of message they want and this suggests that paul manafort was providing that data to the russians. we don't know for sure but that's what it looks like. it's hard to imagine another reason why a russian linked to russian intelligence would want american polling

>> well that was the argument that mark warner and tim kaine were making during the rare saturday session. they talked about the residual impacts in all of the ancillary businesses that have coffee shops and bakeries and places where people go to lunch around these federal offices, in northern virginia in the district of columbia, in maryland. mark warner talked a lot about the craft beer industry, which is something that is in virginia and there's certain permits and applications that they need that they can't get through to rollout these products because it's being stifled due to the government shutdown. >> chad, this is gary kaltbaum. last time we spoke was a couple of days before the first pay check was not given out. now we're in a week where a second paycheck isn't given out. so it feels like the needle is even farther away as we get to the second and there's a real world americans that have to maybe drive an uber, take a pay day loan out, go to pawn shops, these are good americans that are being affected. is any movement whatsoever going on? >> no that's what's remarkable about thi

mark warner, fight for your own side.ly doing something to aid a foreign adversary to this country. >> these are pretty yes or no questions. let's go ted cruz. the bearded ted cruz. he was asked on "meet the press" by chuck todd, should the senate subpoena the interpreter who is the only person besides vladimir putin who knows what donald trump said to or was told by the russian president when they met five times with no witnesses. here is ted cruz. >> do you think you guys in the senate ought to, for instance, subpoena a translator so that you have a real readout of what the president and vladimir putin are saying to each other? >> you know, i think it's premature for that. i've seen the allegations. i want to find out a little bit more about what happened there. i want to learn more than just the allegations in the press. >> jennifer, if he wants to see and find out what happened there, he should just subpoena the translator, right? >> exactly. but changed since january 3 when the new congress took over. to quote nancy

with that, i'd like to introduce and please welcome senator mark warner from virginia. [applause] sen. warner: we have gone through two years of this trump administration. every day through this administration you think it cannot get worse, and then it gets worse. first of all, i want to thank all of you, every federal employee who has gone to work or been furloughed and have done their job even though this white house has not done their job. i want to echo what steny said. it is time to open up our government. [applause] earlier today under the leadership of ben cardin and chris van hollen, all the democrats came to the senate , have the house built a open our government. you want to fight about border security, we will have that discussion, but do not hold 800,000 people's lives as political pawns. mitch mcconnell said he cannot do that. mcconnell said he cannot do anything the president will not sign. [booing] out warner: i would point that the constitution of the united states of america says the congress is an independent branch of government. the constitution of t

. >> i've got mark warner talking about that. i want to get to that in a moment. but first, phil, i do want to ask you about how the white house and specifically how the president is reacting to stone being indicted, pleading not guilty, and now using the same terminology that the president uses about the investigation, calling it a witch hunt. today, roger went so far as to call his indictment a lynching. what's the white house think? >> yeah, so, katy, we don't have any fresh reaction today out of the white house regarding these developments, but so far, the president, you know, has spoken out about the fbi's handling and the justice department's handling of roger stone. and they very much seem to be in sync. and you almost feel like stone is taking a page out of trump's song book when it comes to talking about this probe, talking about the witch hunt, claiming personal victimhood, in a way, almost seeming if he's begging for a pardon from the president, trying to appeal to the president and saying he's done no wrong, he's been so poorly treated by the law, by t

a short while ago, virginia's democratic senator, mark warner, with this tweet, saying today would be a good day to reopen the government. we'll get more reaction in jooment, but joining us on the phone is linda feldman, the washington bureau chief and white house correspondent for the "christian science monitor." linda, thanks for being with us. i know a busy day yesterday. you were writing those pool reports. give us a summary of how things unfolded. guest: yesterday was an incredibly busy day. it was busier than usual, even for a weekday. if it had been a weekday, it would have been busy. so having a saturday like this was quite something. the president started the day by flying off to dover air force base for the dignified transfer of remains of the four americans who had been killed in syria. he spoke to us, to the press pool, on the south lawn before he left. you know, talking about all the various issues on the table, including the proposal that he was going to make that afternoon. then he held a citizenship vent in which five new american citizens were created in a naturalizat

i have the pleasure of introducing my friend, mark warner, who has been very supportive of this and i think he represents some of the interests that interests that we've gotten in congress from both sides of the chamber about press freedom and the danger journalists face today. senator, if you would speak for a moment. >> thank you, lawrence, thank you for your efforts to remember mr. khashoggi. also, the enormous amount of truth you brought to your journalism in all its various activities. there's a famous line that says the only security of all of us is a free press. now, that was written by the only virginian i know that writes better than don bier, that was thomas jefferson. and jefferson made those comments over 200 years ago and in many ways the gentleman we honor today, jamal khashoggi, lived those words and died for those words and i think the best way that we can recommit ourselves to his memory and to that notion of security being intimately intertwined with the free press is to make sure that we all step up and do our part regardless of whether we served on the press side o

the vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee, mark warner, said that paul manafort sharingon with russians is the closest thing that we've seen to collusion. is that a fair assessment? >> it's more than fair. it's absolutely right. all this time we've had this nebulous term of collusion, and there's been speculation as to whether or not it actually applied to what manafort had done. given the fact that he had been tried in d.c. and virginia in terms of his charges against him for things really unrelated to his exact time in the campaign. now we have not by speculation, don, but by his attorneys' own admissions in a court filing that he handed over not only the polling data to somebody, hoping it would get to the kremlin, and mind you, he said he'd work for free for the campaign, knowing he had a debt and a quid pro quo ahead of him to be able to perhaps pay off that debt by getting this valuable information for this intelligence campaign in with the kremlin. and, number two, you've got the ukrainian peace plan, that's also part of this filing that lets you know that at the

reporter: yeah, you know, it's something that senator mark warner came out and talked about. he said specifically the coast guard, these are the people that protect the borders, at least the waterways, along the borders and senator mark warner saying how come they should be going without pay? again, democrats still trying to turn this and piecemeal it together. the president saying we need a total border security package before we can go forward with opening the government. liz: i just looked. we have come well off of where we started this particular hour, folks. we were down about 76 points when we started the program. you can take a look at the dow jones industrials. we are down 47. maybe or maybe not it has to do with the fact the president is making a comment right now. he says he will not declare a national emergency at this moment. he wants congress to act and perhaps that means that he might get on the phone with some congressional leaders and edward, thank you. interrupt us if you get any breaking news on this. but as a business network, we are looking at what could m

"you're essentially accusing the president of the united states of endangering the lives of members of congress and american troops. that's extraordinary."
