amy klobuchar: thank you very much, senator schumer. and thank you so much for the work you have done. this is our moment. we have been waiting for this moment for months and months, in fact for years, because all we have ever heard since we started talking about changes, repeal, repeal, repeal. the last few months we are on two versions of the house bill, two versions of the senate bill, and every single time it seems to get worse. we are at a position where only 17% of the american eagle approved the last republican version of the bill. we hear about repeal again. if they want to have a vote on that, fine, but we know where this is going to end up, and it will be where we should have begun, and that is working, democrats and republicans, on positive changes to the american people to the affordable care act. we never said it was a perfect bill. the day it passed, i said it was .he beginning and not an end that is why i am a strong supporter of senator kaine's work and center carvers work -- senator carver's work. we are asking people t

skbr the senator amy klobuchar a member of the judiciary committee. senator i've noticed that female senators in the republican party have been what passes for profiles in courage in that chamber yet were not invited anywhere near the process of getting the bill up for vote or failure. >> well it's interesting this started with just 13 men, not only were democrats not invited but really the american people weren't invited into the room. and now after many iterations of this bill two that didn't give enough support we are now back where they started with a repeal. and you already have senators all women shelly capito susan collins and lisa joining us and saying it makes no sense. it boots over 20 million people off of health care. and while i know the president is having them over to the white house, the entire republican caucus tomorrow for lunch, i don't think a tuna fish sandwich is going the change of minds of the three strong women. so we are where we began. and now the key is- i think chuck schumer said it pointedly today. open the door. let us i

. >>> joining p me now is amy klobuchar. you heard president trump here today. there is criticism he did not do enough. do you agree with that? >> look, in hibd sight, we could always try to do more, and president obama could have done more. but i think it was well explained that one of the things he was trying to do was to push putin and to continue the sanctions, and you have the fact that while obama put in place tougher sanctions before he left, president trump, we still don't have the sanctions bill that passed the senate signed into law. i think it would have been much more powerful to have sanctions bill in his hand and have that signed into law. and then to not pussyfoot around the fact that it was russia that attempted to interfere in our elections. as the president did in his answers to the questions. vladimir putin was listening to every word he said. he knows now it's like, hey, it's okay, we're not really blaming you for this, maybe it's other countries. that's just not the way, the position of strength that you want to have when you go into a meeti

amy klobuchar talking about president trump's rather stunning public criticism of his attorney generalartment officials past and present. where do we start? there were so many people that he took aim at, but he said also that he believes that the fbi person really reports directly to the president of the united states. those are his words. that suggests that he believes that the fbi director should report directly to him, not the justice department. there's a very important not just tradition but this position of independence with the fbi and the justice department. what's your concern there? >> well, i'm a former prosecutor. i had that job for eight years, and when you talk to any line, district attorney, anyone in the u.s. attorney's office, fbi, law enforcement, it is so important that they do their job without fear or favor, that they not be beholden to anyone in politics because their job is justice and to be basically on the front line making sure and guaranteeing justice and protecting the innocent, convicting the guilty. when he said that again, i thought well, he does nominate

let me ask about kamala harris, amy klobuchar, a couple of your superstars. i think they played well in the land. what do you think? >> no question about it. meeting them, talking to them, they're very clear in their messaging. i think they come off very well. they're very grounded, very down to earth. i think they would be great candidates, no question about it. they're very, very smart and i think they're on the side of working class people. that's really the discussion we need to have. we don't need to concede progressive values in my estimation. i know, hugh, you may think we do. but i don't think we need to concede our progressive values in order to connect to people because at the end of the day, i think our progressive values economically are the things that will help those union workers get back to work. >> last quick question, tim ryan, do you think you need to concede that democrats have got to come out and talk to conservative media? you always show up on my radio show. i think sometimes the silos are pretty airtight for secretary clinton and the s

paranoid lawmakers are about russia this conversation unfolded at the hearing yesterday senator amy klobuchar char of minnesota a pertly does not understand why or to he does not have to register as a foreign agent r.t. america was explicitly set up to avoid the foreign agents registration act because it's registered as a nonprofit instead of a government affiliate can one of you mr hickey mr priest step can you elaborate on why our t. is not currently registered under farrah. senator i probably shouldn't comment on any particular individuals or entities but it strikes me that when congress passed fair or amended it recently and maybe in the sixty's this is when this change for the forty's it deliberately carved out u.s. own and media organizations was very precise about that so what that tells me as a prosecutor is that that intended to capture potentially others. meanwhile sarah huckabee sanders called out the press today for not reporting on breaking news regarding the president and the russia dossier released in january. the guys love to talk about russia and there's been nonstop coverage

joining us now member of the judiciary committee, amy klobuchar of minnesota.efense jeremy bash. okay. let's go to the donald trump junior story. because i -- that tweet thing is just such red meat for everybody to mock and ridicule. we'll let it speak for itself. donald trump junior's statement about going to potentially get damaging information about hillary clinton with this russian lawyer is that potentially a crime? >> well, if individuals in the campaign were conspireing to undertake a criminal action, potentially either receiving a contribution from a foreign adversary or engaging computer crime, hacking, those are federal oh fens. then they took an overt act by meeting with the russian lawyer. then, yes, you have potentially incriminating activity. >> senator klobuchar, as a member of the judiciary committee. >> when you look back, it seems like every single person that tried to take this on whether it's james comey or sally yates warning the white house about the former national security advisor's actions, everything that happens, they end up as road k

amy klobuchar spending the holiday in minnesota and she made this video which was tweeted out today. duluth on a in beautiful lake superior. this week, we heard something pretty interesting. commission ons election integrity asked every state in the union to provide sensitive voter information from people's birthdays to their voting history to their social security numbers. guess what? dozens of states objected, including the republican secretary of state in mississippi who told the commission they should go jump in the gulf of mexico. i have an even better idea. i think they should go jump in lake superior. this is a beautiful lake, one of our best great lakes, but it is a little colder this time of year, even in the summer. i think they would enjoy it. i asked my fellow citizens, this fourth of july week to find a body of water nearest you and go tell the commission jump in a lake. >> president trump will be heading for europe next weekend for a series of meetings with world leaders. for whattop in poland is being called the three c's summit which includes leaders from central euro

joining me now is senator amy klobuchar, a democrat. i want to ask you about jeff sessions. he was hired just a couple months ago. should he be fired or should he continue these attacks? >> no, the president should not fire him and for one simple reason. someone should not be fired for following the law. i vehemently disagree with jeff sessions on a lot of things, some voting rights and some of his positions, but the truth is he simply recused himself from matters dealing with russia because of his own past dealings with the russia ambassador and others. he is simply allowed a fair process to go forward by having his deputy, pretty normal, oversee a special counsel who is going to look into all of what went on in the last year with russia trying to influence our election. and the president simply can't fire him over that and i don't think the senate is going to allow a recess appointment. there's plenty of ways to block that. then my favorite moment of the evening was chuck grassley and his way of sending out a tweet saying, a.g. hearing, no way. kind of putting his own stak

i spoke with amy klobuchar earlier this evening. your committee wants donald trump jr.me testify. what questions do you want answered by him? >> well, i don't think so. i think the first immediate question is what other contacts did he have with the russians. as you note in the e-mail, it says that it's part of the work that was being done. so clearly you want to know what other work was being done by the russians, what's his knowledge and then of course you want to hear from manafort which both chairman grassley and senator feinstein are also requesting that he testify. and so there are so many questions relating to this. this is the only thing we know now is this e-mail in which here he is, you hear your dad is running for president, you get an e-mail about russians looking for dirt on hillary clinton and instead of giving it to the lawyers or giving it to someone in charge, you actually say, i love it. well, i actually hate it. i hate it because i think that this is a foreign entity that's trying to influence our democracy. as marco rubio has said, this time it was o

have today is reaction on capitol hill, andrea, from democrats like senator dianne feinstein, amy klobuchar and chuck grassley who say robert mueller is someone who is going to do his job, that he's not restricted by this president or by the bounds really of the narrow, this is a russia investigation and he can't therefore look into the president's finances. those lawmakers saying robert mueller is going to look into any area that he feels necessary to get to the bottom of what happened here. and, again, andrea, i think this goes back to the messaging, remember how we started this week, this was a week that was supposed to focus on native america progress, products, there have been a number of different events focused on that exact thing, on health care, which has hit such a major speed bump, and yet this is the president taking aim at his attorney general and at the special council and a lot of concerns about what this warning to the special council might mean. i think that's why you're seeing this very sharp backlash on capitol hill, andrea. >> kristen welker at the white house, thanks so

amy klobuchar got a little more folksy, saying it was like the fox guarding the henhouse, or the beart the only one. >> that's beyond puzzling. that's like tweeting out he would like to fight drug abuse in america by starting a new drug interdiction with el chapo. >> it's not a good idea for the fox to guard the henhouse. >> like the guy robbing your house for a working group on burglary. >> i think congress and adam kinzinger deserves the last word here. >> i use the analogy of letting the fox guard the henhouse, but the road runner to work with the coyote for banning ace products. >> we'll be back tomorrow with more "mtp daily." >>> i'm ali velshi with n"msnbc live." the white house douming down the defense of donald trump jr.'s meeting with a kremlin connected lawyer during the campaign. deputy white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders saying there is nothing wrong with the president's son meeting with the russian lawyer after being promised damaging information on hillary clinton as first reported by "the new york times." >> i've been on several campaigns, and people call

what is important when we see some senate democrats coming up there, i just saw senator amy klobucharthere, is this bill was blocked and stymied by very active outreach by democrats, by community activists, with people who had health care who benefited by it. it was a surprising ability to a number of people to call their senators and saying, i need health care. that has been the interesting dynamic. some of the tactics -- we can look back to the bernie sanders campaign, some of the president's own campaign, in terms of mobilizing people to get behind the issues. forward, we still have an unknown as to what we are going to see, what votes we are going to see from the senate and what we go forward with, and if they could get back to the house to come up with a new package of legislation. the opposition to this bill and rallying cry around health care isn't going anywhere, and they are going to fight tooth and nail to protect millions of americans. >> 20 hours of debate does not feel like enough. scarlet: especially when everyone is coming at it with different angles. you got conservati

just listen into what democratic senator amy klobuchar said earlier. >> mueller has the right to investigate this. he was given that authority by the justice department, and he reports to the justice department, and not to the president of the united states. julia: joining us now, one of the reporters who broke this story. great to have you on the show. you called it a follow the money investigation. to what extent really is this now about russia, and to what extent is this about other dealings that donald trump has had? >> the whole thing is about russia. this portion of it, though, deals more with trump's business dealings and capital he got from russia for various real estate developments over the years, as well as some other projects, like the miss universe pageant that was held in moscow in 2013, and even the personal sale of one of his homes, in florida. scarlet: who is investigating here? we know robert mueller is the special counsel, and he is operating outside the purview of the fbi, but in the story you talk about how fbi investigators and others are looking at russian purchases of

cost of prescription drugs and scrutinizing corporate mergers and cable companies and senator amy klobucharesota says we have to bring down the prices >> we have to pass down stronger laws so they cannot merge and make things work for the american people. we'll introduce a stronger standard under our antitrust laws >> it is a rural town that went for trump and democrats have been trying to turn it blue for years. guys, 2018 is getting closer everyday >> all right, thank you very much >> in past hour president trump's son-in-law jared kushner made a statement following his meeting of the interactions of the russians during the presidential campaign. >> i have been consistent if saying that i was eager to share any information i have with the investigating bodies and i have done so today. the record and documents i have voluntarily provided will show all of my actions were proper and occurred in the normal course of events of a unique campaign >> we are expecting president trump to make a statement on healthcare in a little over an hour from now so we'll get to that it is interesting that we

look, minnesota senator amy klobuchar, a liberal democrat, has worked together with conservative senatorou're right. >> -- on legislation to rein in the cost of pharmaceuticals. so they can work together. neil: no, no, it is possible. it seems like the only way something is going to get done period here, because, you know, when i'm looking at this, jenny beth, i'm seeing that republicans seem to be incapable at this point of advancing anything approaching their agenda. >> well, i think that what we've seen is conservatives are willing to make compromises when necessary to continue to advance towards their goals, and the moderates this past week have proven that they don't. they're willing to flip-flop, they're willing to back pedal on their promises, break promises to their voters. and we're going to have to work over the next several weeks and months to hold them accountable and remind them repealing obamacare, growing the economy, tax reform, securing the borders are why they are elected. neil: if both of these sides, democrats or republicans, can't get together, i'm going to pull an a

i have joined senator amy klobuchar in minnesota in sponsoring legislation to encourage partnerships between the forest service and the state foresters to carry out these cross-boundary restoration projects. you know, a fire does not respect boundaries. they don't know where the state land ends or the federal land begins or private land is or the reservation lands are. we need to be able to work as better neighbors on the fence line to reduce fuels, reduce the wildfire hazards across the country. these partnerships and projects will make fighting these wildfires safer for our firefighters and allow them to return home safe to their families. our firefighters and particularly this time of year, we recognize them as some of the bravest men and women out there. the courage at which they run towards danger. i will tell you, if you have never seen a wildfire burning out west, it is an incredible sight. it's terrifying to see the huge plumes that will reach up to over 30,000 feet in the atmosphere. they are ominous. these brave men and women run towards danger to protect our lives, protect
