joining us now, chris coons of delaware. senator, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. it's been a very busy weekend. >> it certainly has. do you agree with the outgoing cia director's assessment that donald trump doesn't understand russia? >> i'm gravely concerned that donald trump not only doesn't understand russia and vladimir putin, but doesn't understand how to conduct himself in a balanced and thoughtful way. over this weekend, donald trump has been very busy picking fights with nato, with chancellor merkel of germany, with the head of the cia, with china over the one china policy. with republicans in congress over the aca repeal. and with living civil rights legend john lewis. i can't imagine a more destabilizing weekend. >> and what about the assertions that nato is an obsolete alliance? >> well, to try to be gracious for a moment, i think the one point donald trump tried to make there was that nato wasn't originally created to confront terrorism. but it is far from obsolete. anyone who knows the rece

joining me right now, a member of the foreign relations committee, senator chris coons, a democrat from delaware. what's rubio up to? i know he sounded like a hardline neocon today. basically taking the hardline hawki hawkish position on the middle east, very, very tough on a fellow republican. is he showboating or actually going to vote against this nominee? >> chris, i think senator rubio is sincere. there were many senators, republican and democrat, in today's nine-hour-long confirmation hearing for rex tillerson including myself who pressed him hard on his relationship with vladimir putin, his view of russia, whether or not he understands russia's illegal annexation of crimea and its actions against civilians in aleppo to be violations of international order, the rule of law. and in too many cases he simply said, i need more information before i can comment on that. >> how about you, are you going to vote against him? >> i haven't made up my mind yet, chris. i have been reflecting on a number of answers that he gave that were positive, but really different from what president-elect

rex tillerson on his way into chris coons' office, a democratic of delaware. we asked mr. tillerson whether he thought mr. trump should sell any of his assets. he had no comment. we're expecting a press briefing. you see mr. tillerson on his way into what they call the photo spray with senate coops. he is making the rounds today. this is a hello, get to know you series of meetings with the senators ahead of his confirmation as secretary of state. this will be an important meeting to try to reach out to some of the democrats and get a feel for what their reaction is to his nomination. you've seen comments from greenpeace and environmental groups that are not entirely excited about having a former exxon executive as secretary of state. that's the challenge they have to navigate here on capitol hill. back to you. >> we should point out, chris coons, the democratic from delaware said publicly he would prepare a challenge to this, and he has said that he bets there might be some republicans on the committee that might not vote for rex tillerson as well. so these meetings are ve

senator chris coons, he hasn't decided yet but he seemed at least open to that possibility. manu, stand by for a moment. dana bash is with us. dana, this could be the first major speed bump or hiccough in the major confirmation process for donald trump's potential nominees. >> he could. let's just talk about kind of, i don't know if it's irony or just kind of the strange situation we are in politically here with marco rubio who was one of the last of trump's primary opponents for the presidency for the republican nomination now potentially holding the fate of his nominee for secretary of state in his hands. and doing so, not because of politics. i mean i think it's genuine and those of us who have followed marco rubio in the senate know this is his passion, foreign policy is his passion. you can tell by the way that he questioned rex tillerson. where he was going, he really wanted answers and the fact he talked about moral clarity and realism in the way that rex tillerson would conduct himself. that kind of tells you what the answer to that, about the politics. but i do thin

. >> in the end, chris coons said he hasn't made up his mind on how he'll vote. >> just to be cheer, tor coons said he is concerned, did not indicate whether or not tillerson had anything to say about that. >> i asked directly, did rex tillerson tell that you he believed russia hacked this election or not? and senator coons said i won't tell you the answer to that question. i think that's a question that rex tillerson has to answer and we'll get that answer in the confirmation hearing and it is an important one. >> all right. thank you. >> i'm sure it will be contentious. when you look at i for about five seconds, i thought, this is such a terrible pick. then thimd guy knows every foreign leader in every area that there is hot spots. he knows regions better than anyone in the united states. tremendous. >>> let's get to another big battle. mike pence laying out the new agenda for the trump administration. >> the first order of business is to repeal and replace obamacare. that is our message today and it will be our message on capitol hill. >> the democrats firing back at those remarks.

attendance at trump's inauguration and i want to bring in cnn global affairs analyst kim dozier and chris coons said this call was, quote, very suspicious in your view. and how unusual is this? >> well, consider the fact that the trump administration doesn't yet have a confirmed secretary of state, so it is left to a small group of people around president-elect trump to make these kind of phone calls. this kind of contact with major foreign government is to be expected. reaching out to the russian government especially cooperation or a decon flkocond. you would expect mike flynn to make this phone call, yet in light of the fact this last administration was, at that point, taking action against moscow, it shows you that what they're trying to say is we're going to do business differently. don't overreact. he had to have been telling him something like that behind closed doors. in light of -- >> something that would happen during a transition period? laying that kind of groundwork while the current administration is sending a different signal. >> well, i think what you're seeing is just in the fo

. >> so, senator chris coons saying this call was quote very pishs. hour do you assess the call antd then b possibly at least one meeting prior and now even the attendance of this russian ambassador to the inauguration. >> the tick-tock is interesting and unclear. whether or not the russian ambassador reached out. but on balance, it reflects the fact that the new information has determined the test of proposition that relations with russia can get better. i think it's a shot across the -- to the incoming secretary of state. not yet confirmed. there's the question of who is going to be in charge of handling clear ly the president is in charge. but is it going to be the national security adviser, the secretary of state. second, "washington post" front page this morning runs a headline that the united states is now invited to attend talks later this month in kazakhstan on syria. >> and the obama administration was not ever extended that kind of invitation. >> exactly. i think this will give rise i think to some who will argue you see, the president-elect

and senator chris coons said in a private conversation there was a lot of space between mr. tillerson's position and president-elect donald trump with with russia. how do we square this? are we to believe mr. tillerson as he talks about a clear- eyed view of russia or believe mr. trump, seems to be looking at russia through rose- colored glasses. >> i think as donald trump's administration come cans together. we have to take his word. he condemned their actions in crimia and understands the damage in syria and a lack of u.s. leadership is responsible for the opening that vladimar putin went through when it came to crimia and syria. time will tell how trump are trump will treat the issue. and you are hearing a nominee who puts a best foot forward. >> you think he will have the votes to get him through? >> the 11 republican and ten democrats, i anticipate it to be a close vote and we'll see how the next few hours go. >> and senator from colorado, thank you. and we'll go back where senator marco rubio additional questions. >> i am not going to rely solely on what i read in news

. >> that's tom carper and chris coons. >> not first class. >> that's right.shington, because they would, in part, because they would like to stay close to their new very dear friends, the obamas, who will be living in washington, and so the next chapter of the biden/obama bromance will be fun to watch. >> nicole wallace you're watching and listening all of this. jump in here. >> let me keep it, i know you've been awash in hitler and kim jong-un but let me stay with the transportation logistics here. i've heard there's going to be a little bit of an aviation pile-up possibly at andrews, because of the departure rally for president obama, which i think is also a relative, i'll check with the historian, a relatively recent tradition, but a couple of the presidents trying to fly out and i think at least two of them are also expected to fly out of andrews but one thing that struck me today, and you know, we're talking about this divided country, there is the trump base which is for them today was a great day, but even you know, they had to hear the dark and ominou

in delaware, democratic senators chris coons and tom carper highlighted the importance of the affordable care act there this morning. he said a repeal could affect some 38,000 delawareans who have gained access to healthcare through that plan and this comes in the final days of enrollment for the federal health exchange. the deadline to sign up is tomorrow. in december president obama says sign-up were on plaque trappe, to make a record. the trump administration killed the outreach for the exchange and that person's opinion to suppress enrollmen enrollment. >> tomorrow night president trump is expected to announce hihis nominee to the supreme court. u.s. circuit judge neil gorsuch and thomas hardiman are expected to be top names. >> time for our "action news" traffic report monday night. >> matt pelman is back in the "action news" traffic center with the very latest on the commute home tonight. welcome back matt. >> i like your welcome back and the one i got from mother nature a bit ago. the snow squalls that came through the region rick and monica they were right by the airport and you

do we have that, can i roll that for chris coons. >> apparently there's yet a new standard now whichis to not confirm a supreme court nominee at all. i think that's something the american people simply will not tolerate. >> that's what they did to garland, right? that's exactly what the gop did to judge garland. >> it is not only exactly what they just did to garland, what they did was even worse. they refused to even hold a hearing, let alone give him a vote in committee or a vote on the floor. and i think in the 100 year history of the senate judiciary committee on which i serve, this has never previously happened where a nominee for the supreme court, i think there were two exceptions where the nominees themselves withdrew, but i think it has never happened that the american people were denied an opportunity to get a sense of what that nominee would be like by having thorough hearings. and i just want to bring us ahead to next week if i could, briefly, michael, we're going to have confirmation on the judiciary committee, foreign relations committee and five other committees next w

democrat senator chris coons. good to have you with me. the trump team says the sanctions weren't discussed even though that phone call happened on the same day they were getting intense coverage. do you believe that? >> it does strain credibility that general mike flynn needed to place a call to russia's ambassador to the united nations more than three weeks before president-elect trump inauguration. after january toth, once trump becomes president, general flynn is free to have any contacts he chooses with foreign governments and their ambassadors. seems very suspicious three weeks in advance he needed to have a call in order to schedule a call that wouldn't happen for weeks hence. i'll also say the development of the senate intelligence committee agreeing to begin an investigation into contacts between the trump campaign and russia's government following the briefing all senators received thursday afternoon is a stig development. >> extremely significant. i want to ask you what the repercussions could be here. when we take just this pho

you've seen chris coons, senator from delaware, who said he noticed the daylight between tillerson and trump and he was actually comforted by what he heard from tillerson. he found himself asking the question, if i vote down tillerson, will i do worse that trump county puts in there because maybe that daylight is good. >> there is a gamble who he would pick next if they were not to get tillerson. in a few minutes the congress will vote on obama. the senate already laid the groundwork. walk me through what you're expected to see around 2:45. >> reporter: we'll see the house vote on this budget blueprint passed earlier this week by the senate. it sets up the framework for repealing the president's health care law. it sets up framework that lets them do it with just 51 votes in the senate. that means they could do it with only republican support. so, what we're going to be watching for in the next hour, katy, is how many republicans defe defect. there might be some conservatives who are worried this doesn't do enough in replacing the health care law because it essentially takes away thing
