earlier we heard from senator amy klobuchar.ill give them a leader and then others of the aisle. our next guest over and 15 after -- he has since gone and reputation in the senate as an active voice on foreign policy issues and as an outspoken critic of iran's aggression about the middle east. he joined us today to discuss the critical issues. please welcome senator tom cotton. >> you very much for the very warm welcome! i feel like i have some to present. >> is a member of congress you have been a consistent and vocal supporter of the us israel relationship. i want to ask you what i asked senator amy klobuchar. why is this issue important to you? where does your passion for israel and the relationship come from? >> personally, where it comes from for me is everything i know about the modern nation of israel in this connection to the united states. because that's deeply in our history. america has always been welcoming and broken to the jewish people. in a way that you could come to america and be fully american and also fully j

i want to ask you what i asked senator amy klobuchar. why is this issue important to you? where does your passion for israel and the relationship come from? >> personally, where it comes from for me is everything i know about the modern nation of israel in this connection to the united states. because that's deeply in our history. america has always been welcoming and broken to the jewish people. in a way that you could come to america and be fully american

joining us now is senator amy klobuchar of minnesota. obuchar, thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks, rachel. >> so what concerns you most in these revelations about facebook and cambridge analytica? >> well, of course, it's the sanctity of our elections and our democracy. we actually have an election less than 300 days away. we have to make sure our election infrastructure is safe. i think we're going get some money for the states in this budget. i've been working really hard on that so they can get backup paper ballot, things like that. and the second is what you've been talking about so well the first few minutes of this show, and that is this propaganda and things that are coming in to people's facebook pages and their data where in fact we've learned now things that they thought were safe weren't safe. 50 million people in america have now had their databasecally breached. i know they don't like that word breached, but the last time i checked if someone broke into my apartment with a crowbar, it would be the same as if the apart

ladies and gentlemen, please welcome from the great state of minnesota senator amy klobuchar. >> thank you, senator. >> thank you. it's great to be here with this intimate discussion with you with just a few thousands of our friends. >> you have been a consistent supporter of the u.s.-israel relationship. talk about why that issue is so important to you. >> a lot of it has to do with home. i know we have some great minnesota aipac people here. we're excited about that. this is the democracy, a beacon of democracy in what's really tough, if not a tough neighborhood. if they're not jewish they see the important of that relationship. the fact that four of the five members of the gold medal winning u.s. curling team were from our state. i would like to bring that up. their daughter was doing the homework at the kitchen table. if it wasn't for the alert system, she would have been dead. hearing their story reminded me of the work i did as prosecutor and when we would be in these high crime neighborhoods on how people would be terrified every single day of what was going to happen to them ne

so that's what i thank aipac for doing and thank you for having me. >> host: amy klobuchar. . [applause] >> politics in america is contentious. in fact, by some measures, democrats and republicans are more divided today than at any other time in the last two decades. but america's support for israel transcends partisan politics so when it comes to strengthening america's support for support must come from both sides of the aisle. that's where aipac comes in. for decades aipac has work to strengthen, protect and promote the u.s.-israel alliance by urging bipartisan support in congress. bipartisanship is more than just a nice idea it's the most effective way to build lasting concensus with israel. there are two reasons why. first, a partisan approach will ultimately fail when the opposing party ultimate am i comes into power. bipartisanship is the only way to effect policies that keep israel safe no matter which party is in control. second, consider the math. while most bills require a simple majority to pass, in the senate, each senator has the right to filibuster or block a

according ochoto a new whistle blower was basically the core of the data business and democrat amy klobucharthey want tech ceos on capitol hill answering questions directly. the republican chair of the committee wrote back to senators klobuchar and kennedy saying he would take their request undered a -- under advicement. joining us is amy cleklobuchar. thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks, rachel. >> what concerns you most in the revelatio revelations? >> of course, it's the elections and democracy. we have an election less than 300 days away. we have to make sure our election infrastructure is safe. we'll get money for the states in this budget. i've been working really hard on that to get back to paper ballots, things like that and the second is what you've been talking about so well the first few minutes of this show and that is this propaganda and things that are coming into people's facebook pages and their data where in fact we've learned now things that they thought were safe weren't safe. 50 million people in america have now had their data basically breached and i me they don'

joining me now two members of the committee, democrat amy klobuchar of minnesota and republican senatorn kennedy of louisiana. thanks for being with us and being with us together. i feel like every time a democratic and republican appear together, someone earns their wings. you think mark zuckerberg should come before your committee and say what? >> i think he should explain to the american people how this happened, how many people were hurt and most importantly, how they're going to fix it because you just can't have 50 million americans have their private data exposed without their permission, a couple hundred thousand of them may have answered a quiz by a russian american professor that somehow facebook decided could have access to the data, and this is what's happened. i think you have a product where it has been designed without a lock or without an alarm and, big surprise, some of the bad guys have gotten in. he needs to explain that as well as the fact that we don't get support for our honest ads act which would put the social media sites on the same rules of the game as you see

your colleague amy klobuchar with john kennedy wants to hear from facebook. what is the likelihood of getting congressional action here? >> well, we have to get to the bottom of this. and it is partly the mueller investigation. but it is partly what we do in our committees. and this really could extend to the judiciary committee, the commerce committee, the homeland security committee, all should be taking action and they haven't to date in the way that we need to, to help secure our democracy coming into the midterm elections and beyond the 2020 presidential elections. >> fundamentally do you think that social media should be more regulated when you look at how the russians have been able to spend this information, when you look at how campaigns, probably legally by the way, have been able to mine information and sort of stir dissent to try to manipulate voters, you know, does there need to be legislation here? >> well, i think there well may be the need. i'm leaning in that direction. we don't have all the facts yet. we're talking about a story that just br

back with me now, senator amy klobuchar here in the nation's capitol. you mentioned the political force that wasn't there after sandy hook. the political force, is it there this time? >> i think it is in my own state which is a proud hunting state where we still have 13 marches going on, including in some rural areas of our state. that's because to me i look at these and think will this hurt my uncle dick in his deer stand to have better background checks and a ban on assault weapons, and i think you're seeing a sea change with people. these students from minnesota told me this morning that these 17 people you just saw honored, they can't be here today. they are speaking for them, advocating for them, and they're also going to vote for them. >> do you feel that part of one of the obstacles in trying to push for more gun laws, stricter gun laws, is there's an interpretation that it means removing guns? i talked to a family yesterday and they said we are all for the right to bear arms but we're also for the right to feel safe. we want to have our lives pr

it's republican senator john ekennedy of louisiana and democratic senator amy klobuchar of minnesota. senators, welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. before i dig into facebook and all of that, i want to ask you both, individually, this reaction to lindsey graham calling the firing of bob mueller an impeachable offense. senator kennedy, do you see it that way? >> he hasn't been fired. i mean, before, chuck, we get all mooged up, i think we need to wait to see what happens. look, i think the president said in his tweets the president likes to think out loud, as the president said earlier today. the president clearly grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought. that's his management style. but he hasn't fired mueller. i don't expect him to fire mr. mueller. >> okay. >> the president's lawyer said sunday night that he wouldn't fire mr. mueller. and i don't think mr. mueller will be fired. i think mr. mueller ought to be allowed to complete his investigation. now, if that changes, i'll be glad to do a deep dive into it. but until then, we're just speculating.

look at amy klobuchar when trump shut down the republicans conceal carry idea.ll of a sudden she's jim from the office going, like, are you guys seeing this? this is pretty much how the whole discussion went. trump supported all democrats gun control positions, universal background checks, raising minimum age to buy rifles, banning all domestic abusers from buying guns, trump pushed all their ideas. it was so disorienting seeing a different side of trump dr, like finding out your grandma works part time as a dominatrix. that's right, they call me the queen of nipple play! ( laughter ) and just like a dominatrix, tripp trump pushed the limits because at one point mike pence tries to step in and say calm down, there will be due process before anyone's guns will be taken away and trump is like, or -- >> but the pokes is to literally give families and local law enforcement additional tools if an individual is reported to be a potential danger to themselves or others, allow due process so no one's rights are trampled. >> or, mike, take the firearms first and then go

joining us now, democratic senator amy klobuchar of minnesota.t at this point you'd like to hear from mark zuckerberg. >> yes. and we'd like to hear from all the social media ceos because we've had this now news for a year that they have been taking political ads from russia, from other countries that there's no disclaimers, no disclosures, it's a huge problem. now you have this where it appears that 50 million profiles, 50 million americans basically had their information stolen. they don't call it a breach, i call it a breach. if somebody broke into my apartment and took my stuff, it would be the same as if my apartment manager gave them a key and they took my stuff. >> what do you think of the latest revelations pertaining to cambridge analytica and impacting the election in any way, what do you think the biggest questions are not just for mark zuckerberg but the election process? >> i think the first is we need to have a safe election infrastructure going into this next election in 2018. i'm hoping this this budget we'll get nearly $400 milli

senator amy klobuchar is tweeting this saying "i've called for more transparency and accountability forads. they say trust us. mark zuckerberg needs to testify before senate judiciary" and the massachusetts attorney general is announcing her office is opening an investigation tweeting this, "massachusetts residents deserve answers immediately from facebook and cambridge analytica. we are launching an investigation." this comes on the heels of a "new york times" report that said cambridge analytica collected personal data from 50 million facebook users without their approval. members of congress are also echoing concerns today. >> certainly who knew what when. this is a big deal, when you have that amount of data, and the privacy violations are significant. >> we ought to be very, very careful about the government collecting that data from private entities. the privacy of the american consumer, the american individual should be protected. >> we need to find out what we can about the misappropriation of the privacy, the private information of tens of millions of americans, that misappropr

and amy klobuchar talked about this. the president mentioned it in the meeting.have any hope that's something? >> here is where i think we can find common ground. i think that there is agreement we need to tighten the background check. we have a bipartisan bill that is sitting in the house. john dingell was somebody who helped get the background checks into place. and people don't understand that right now the data that needs to be going into it is not going into it for a variety of reasons. if you have been a married domestic violence and you're convicted, you cannot have a gun. what our bill would do is if someone was a dating partner or had been in a relationship or stalker and convicted of having -- if they had a felony conviction, they would not then be able to own a gun. >> right. >> and we know you're five times more likely, a woman is in domestic violence situation to die if there is a gun present. so we're trying to time that and the president said that should be part of it. so we hoped that would be it. the red flag during the last week when we were hom

and so minnesota senator amy klobuchar tweeted today, "it's clear these platforms can't police themselves. mark zuckerberg needs to testify before the senate judiciary." a letter to zuckerberg said your perspective would be of great value to the nation. also we have yet to hear from the leaders of these companies directly. virginia senator mark warner issued a statement saying, "it's clear if left unregulated, this market will be prone to deception and lacking transparency." >> the government is looking for answers like us. >> reporter: this professor is a cyber security expert at san jose state and says cambridge analytica initially had access to 270,000 users but then accessed the personal data of their friends and grew that stash from 270,000 to 50 million. to block such uses he says we need universal guidelines for tech but not regulations that are too specific or rigid. >> a regulation will cripple growth, but if we are really hurting the users, then you need the government to step in. >> reporter: congressman ro kahna said tech needs more laws for transparency and disclosure. >> i t

as you talked about, my domestic abuse bill which amy klobuchar, and the cosponsor in the house, wouldpeople that have been convicted of stalking and domestic abuse who may not be married but they are domestic partners, would not allow them to have a gun. it would take the gun away. there are real problems still in this country. and gun deaths are still one of the highest incidence of death for women in this country. >> it is so valuable to have your personal perspective on this policy. it gives everybody wonderful conte context. we appreciate you tilling your story. thank you so much for being on on with us. >> thank you, alisyn. >> a panel of gun owners talking about how they were impacted by the florida school massacre can. one of them posted this video facebook where he destroyed his weapon. he cut it in half. >> i loved that weapon. i took it out to the yard. i said to my wife, i can't believe i'm going outside to do this. >> we will see how he is feeling today, along with other gun owners. >> and vladimir putin touting a new invincible nuclear powered missile. we know what he's d

we are now joined by senator amy klobuchar, a democrat from minnesota, who is on the senateu ciary committee yang: i know earlier today you sent a letter to senator grassley, chairman of the judiciary committee, with your republican colleague john kennedy of louisiana, calling for hearings and for mark zuckerberg to be calleto testify. have you heard back there the nsairman? do you have any whether the chairman is going to do that? >> well, we have heard he is considering it, which iould imagine he will do, and i think i will talk to him personally about it tomorrok i th's important that we have a hearing about cambridge analytica and get the head of cambridge analytica there, but also do a hearing focused on the social media heads because we've heard from their lawyers and lobbyists, and senator kennedy and i thursday before this all blew up ha asked senator grassley for such a hearing, and the reason that o did, e, we see this political season upon us and we believe that you need to have a full vetting of what's going on here. we have ads that don't have disclaimers, ads that don't have di

to throw his support behind several democratic gun control measures including a proposal from amy klobucharb domestic abusers access to guns and a proposal by senator dianne feinstein to ban some semiautomatic weapons. the president suggested adding both proposals to a bipartisan bill on background checks from senators joe manchin and pat toomey. >> you can add that to this bill, that would be great. diane if you could add what you have also and i think you can, into the bill -- >> are you ready? >> joe, can you do that? pat, can you add some of the things -- you're not going to agree -- >> if you help. >> i'll help. but can you add what amy and what dianne had, can we add them in? >> and here with us is democratic senator joe manchin of west virginia. thanks so much for being here. that was -- first of all, would adding dianne feinstein's ban on some semiautomatic weapons, would that help your bill? >> no. it would not help our bill at all. >> it would kill it? >> i told dianne that. i'm not taking guns away. there's not a law-abiding gun owner in america that doesn't believe if you go to

the grassley -- kennedy corbett amy klobuchar asking him to take it up. >> when obama did this micro-2012, they were celebrating. facebook said they broker their safeguards but they were okay with it, telling the obama campaign, make sure you knock it off after november. this is not a huge story that the this is happening. i'm worried about the free-speech applications. on the right, you have people that feel that facebook and google on these new media giants are embedded with democrats and on the left, you've seen the deterioration of support for free speech. i think there is this opening with these to go after these cs that might be going against the founding principles. >> bret: the black cat now. is there a first amendment issue? >> what does that mean in this case. what control do you have over your data? most people figure the minute they are on the internet, they have no privacy at all. i am not on facebook, i'm probably the only person on the planet who is not on it. it doesn't sound like you have much privacy. >> i think that my part of the problem is that people don't think

. >> amy klobuchar has said mike zuckerberg who owns facebook should come before the committee.e hasn't appeared in front of the senate at all. >> i agree he should come. of course, he'll come with all the executives and counsel and everything, so he'll get benefit of that advisement. facebook, like so many of our social media and tech companies generally, they are in the midst of a transformation of a world they lived in three years ago. we're just a platform, it doesn't matter what people do in our platform. obviously the russian attack on our leblelection, and facebook' rule, they've come to realize they do, in fact, have some responsibilities, but i'm not sure that's sunk in to the extent it needs to. >> but has it sunk in with congress. it's one thing for facebook not to be policed. it's understandable, particularly if their philosophy is libertarian. but given what happened in 2016, isn't it up to congress to do this? and let me ask you, do you think the fact that zuckerberg and other executives at facebook have been quite generous to democrats and republicans in political

. >> senator amy klobuchar of minnesa, thanks for joining us. >> thank you.at to be >> woodruff:e return now to >> woodruff: we return now to the dides inside the republican party over special counsel robert mueller's ongoing investigation. that means its time for politics monday with amy walter of "the cook polical report" and tamara keith of npr. welcome to both of you, "politics monday." the fire storm over the weekend, firing of andrew mccabe the weekend before he was going to retire, someone who was criticat f.b.i. the president unleashing a string of tweets, going directl afe robert mueller investigation. tam, what i want to ask both of you about is the interesting reaction among republicans. as we reported earliern the program, senator lindseah lindsr said if the president fires robert mueller it will be the beginning of the end of the trump presidency. others put up their hands and said don't fire him, let thest ination goes. not all republicans are saying this. how do you see this? >>that's right. as today went on we heard fromdi more inc john cornyn

>> president trump advocating for what amy klobuchar and dianne feinstein want against steve scalise and pat toomey, playing chief negotiator and shocking his nra allies by embracing new gun restrictions, even at one point suggesting taking away people's guns without due process. before he backed off of that this morning in a tweet saying in part, many ideas, some good and some not so good. respect second amendment. well, breathing a sigh of relief is the nra today, i guess. joining me, jim messina, former white house deputy chief of staff under president obama and bill kristol, editor at large from "the weekly standard." if you had seen your president in the cabinet room in a free-wheeling one hour on-camera negotiation with bipartisan leaders and i didn't see mitch mcconnell or paul ryan there. interesting that the leaders themselves were not there, unleeshu unlea unleashed. >> it's unbelievable. at various points he sounded like a democrat, like someone who had never been to the hill before, he didn't know what bills had passed. my favorite moment is when he said we need to stop m

have the senate judiciary bipartisan leaders, grassley, as well as others on the committee -- amy klobuchar'sdemanding this for some time -- demanding mark zuckerberg come in and explain. in 2011 they signed a consent decree with the federal trade commission not to do -- to better protect user privacy. and if nothing else, this is a breach of that potential breach of that consent degree. >> i think testimony from mr. zuckerberg is at some point inevitable. they've briefing committees on the hill starting tomorrow. so i think that they're going to tell the story that they have to tell. they have to get facts out there. >> when various major social media companies came and testified in front of the senate judiciary last year, zuckerberg sent his general counsel. even though they wanted him, he did not come. let me summarize some of the intel intelligence findings from this committee report. we'll have more on that tomorrow. but they found that 21 states were targeted for penetration by outsiders, including the russians. principally the russians. that one was penetrated. that dhs did not inform
