nice move there on chris coons' part.the show later this morning as is rand paul, joe. >> yeah, certainly very nice moment of just class and comedy in the senate that doesn't happen so much. so willie, doesn't this happen every so often with rand paul? he comes out and makes a definitive statement about how he's going to vote against the administration, then he votes for the administration? he's going to vote against -- i mean, i remember when he said i'm going to vote against pompeo people saying i've heard this before, and then the president calls him up and he's now supportive of pompeo. that's not the first time this has happened with rand paul, is it? >> no, it's happened on other nominations and the tax bill where rand paul takes a moment to express his views and then works to get assurances as he said. i think to get a phone call at a meeting with mike pompeo and suddenly receive assurances and say yeah, the i randall county war was a mistake, we'll get out of afghanistan soon enough and i don't believe in interven

joining us now democratic senator chris coons, one of the leading voices on the foreign relations committeeator, welcome back to fox news sunday. >> thanks, chris, great to be with you. chris: you have been very critical for president trump with some of his threatening of north korea over the last year or so, here you were last summer when the president talked about raining fire and fury on the kim regime. >> i don't frankly think rhetoric is what's called for at this time. we shouldn't as a super power make threats we are not fully prepare today follow through on immediately. chris: looking back now, was president trump right and were you wrong and did his unconventional style of threats and insults and especially the maximum pressure of his economic sanctions, did that get us to the place where are right now that kim was at the table. >> we have, we have been three times before under previous administrations of both parties. kim jong un, his father, grandfather, the regime that rules north korea has done two steps forward and one step back progress where they make progress on nuclear weap

were it not for the last-minute intervention of a few of my colleagues and in particular, senator chris coons for whom i have great admiration. he thinks for himself. i wanted to recognize senator coons today and thank him for his leadership. in a display of both compassion and bipartisanship, senator coons switched his no vote to present ultimately allowing director pompeo to secure a favorable recommendation. senator coons did so as a gesture to senator isakson who could not be present for the vote because he was delivering a eulogy at his best friend's funeral. mr. president, this simple act of bipartisanship reminds me of the senate i used to know. the institution that lived worthy of its name and reputation as the world's greatest deliberative body. senator coons' vote brought us back from the precipice overlooking a partisan abyss. it was a timely reminder that this body is at its best when we put comity and respect head of partisanship. senator coons' gesture was characteristic of the person i know him to be, a class act, a loyal friend, and a true gentleman of the senate. may we all t

: so far. >> chris: so far. >> senator coons: so far. >> chris:u have any problems with that? >> senator coons: i think making it clear to iran that it continues to be our position that we will not allow them to develop nuclear weapons is completely appropriate. iran has threatened both our vital ally israel and our european allies and the united states, as has kim jong un of north korea and drawing a clear line that we will not tolerate a nuclear capable iran i think is completely appropriate. but it's my hope that the president will pursue the wiser path of continuing to get the advantages we are certain curry getting out of the iran nuclear deal. don't take my word for it. his own secretary of defense said the same thing. the republican chair of the foreign relations committee has said the same. even folks that oppose the deal today see that we get more benefits in it than by tearing it out. >> chris: i'm just curious because this would be an interesting time for you and a lot of other democrats that have been very critical of this president wh

been tarnished were not for the interventions of a few of my colleagues and in particular senator chris coons. he thinks for himself. i wanted to recognize him today and thank him for his leadership. in a display of bipartisanship he switched his vote allowing pompeo to have a -- he did so because isaacson cannot be at the vote because who's delivering a eulogy. this act of bipartisanship reminds me of the senate i used to know. the institution worthy of its name. his well brought us back from a precipice. it was a timely reminder that this body is at its best when we put comedy and respect ahead of bipartisanship. his gesture was a class act, a loyal friend and a true gentleman of the senate. they we all take a cue from the bipartisan display. it was embarrassing to say the least. now, we have a second chance and opportunity to set things right. i urge my colleagues to do what's best for the senate in the nation by voting in favor of his nomination. let's get rid of the total partisanship around here. i think both sides are to blame. not just picking on democrats here today. but to see this

the chris coons present vote is striking. the nation can't have no one at the helm of the state department. that we need a secretary of state. and that -- >> that's why you think chris coons did this. >> yes, absolutely. >> the question is why didn't he just vote yes. we'll see how it plays with his own caucus. >> thank you both very much. >>> here is what we know this morning on another very important story, the suspect in that deadly van attack in toronto is due in court in a matter of hours. they are playing this like it's a little different than the other vehicle homicide potential terrorist actions we've seen around the world recently. what do we hear from pedestrians? what do we know about this man? next. with expedia, you can book a flight, hotel, car, and activity... ...all in one place. everything you need to go. expedia kevin, meet yourkeviner. kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin kevin trusted advice for life. kevin, how's your mom? life well planned. see what a raymond james financial advisor can do for

this made news. >> and chris coons is very smart. arbitrary resistant of the president doesn't get us anywhere. these are critical issues in iran and north korea. we just can't have a hawkish kill'em all approach. it can be unified. you're right. there needs to be a unified -- >> don't underrate killing them all that gets everybody's attention. >> i can't go there. >> but you're dead right. what is wrong with this deal? after 15 years, the inspectors go away. iran can enrich and reprocess without limitation. that means they can get a bomb over time without cheating. the arabs won't tolerate that. >> i have to jump in. you made news. but this is president trump meeting with the nigerian present in oval office. they spoke of terrorism, trade, christians being murdered in nigeria we want to listen in. >> we have many things that we do together, as you know, especially on terrorism and terrorism-related. we have a very big trade deal we're working on for military equipment, helicopters and the like. >> julie: we have met before. we have

democratic senator chris coons say ifs the president can get a better deal, he would support. >> i thinks a terrific opportunity for president trump who made his reputation as a builder to build on the iran nuclear deal and to tale with as you said the areas that were not fully resolved through iran nuclear deal, the ballistic missile program, the terrible human rights record, iranian regime is a dangerous threatening regime and if president trump can successfully lead an effort with european allies to rein in or end ballistic missile program, to put -- to change the outcome of the current iranian deal so that there isn't a sunset clause, i think these would be positive things that i would support. rob: north korean dictator kim jong un must eliminate his nuclear program if he wants to sit down with donald trump. national security adviser john bolton also suggesting that it's the only way sanctions would be limited. >> i think if he has made a strategic determination that north korea would be better off without nuclear weapons, then we have something to talk about. i think the president

and he felt, chris coons, that i want was going to move steadily ahead. well, not so much.jority leader mitch mcconnell said no need to protect robert mueller. here is his decision not to bring this bill up for a vote. >> there is no indication that mueller is going to be fired. i don't think the president is going to do that. and just as a practical matter, even if we passed it, why would he sign it? i don't think he should fire mueller, and i don't think he's going to. so this is a piece of legislation that is not necessary. i'm the one who decides what we take to the floor. that's my responsibility asthma skwrort leader. we will not be having this on the floor of the senate. >> would you be shocked if he did fire him? >> yes. i don't think he should, and i don't think he will. >> nothing to see here. i don't think he should. i don't think he will. but i'm not going to do anything to stop it. no sign that the president is going to fire mueller. then he is not paying attention. this is a dereliction of duty on the part of mcconnell. if he thinks the president shouldn't do

with the outcome certain, but just very much delayed, democratic senator chris coons offered to vote s. what did you think of that gesture in committee? >> that's typical of chris. it was a courtesy gesture to johnny isakson and to the committee rather than reconvening last night at 11:15, which was the other alternative. instead there was an ability -- on a bipartisan basis, in the foreign relations committee to find a resolution of it that was respectful, especially of johnny isakson and his need to deliver the eulogy for his best friend at his funeral. >> it seems like such a rarity that these kind gestures happen, maybe at least in public. that bob corker the chair of the committee, he was visibly moved afterward. just for viewers if they haven't had a chance to see it, i want to play for you bob corker after the committee meeting and chris coons explaining his reasoning why he did it for johnny isakson. >> i particularly want to thank the senator for displaying the statesmanship that i've been accustomed to seeing in the senate. senators at the right time can do outstanding thing

i like chris coons a lot. with his own family or with dan sullivan's family. i want to ask a similar set of questions from the other side. i think the conceptual line between mere tech company, tools, and an actual content company, it's hard. you have a hard challenge. regulation will have a hard challenge. you are a private company so you can make policies that may be less than first amendment, full spirit embracing in my view. i worry about that. i worry about a world where, when you go from violent groups to hate speech in a hurry, and wanted your responses to one of the opening questions, you may decide on facebook may decide it needs to police a whole bunch of speech. i think america might be better off not being policed by one company. can you define hate speech? >> senator, i think this is a really hard question. it's one of the reasons why we struggle with it. there are certain definitions that we have around calling for violence. >> let's agree on that. if somebody is calling for violence, it it shouldn't be there. i am worried about the psychological

that tweet refer to north korea, really, really fascinating development last night when senator chris coons withdrawing support from mike pompeo the president's nominee to be secretary of state calling into question mathematically with the vote counsel whether or not pompeo can get confirmed to secretary of state. so all of this comes about six weeks out from that meeting with president trump and kim jong un, the dictator. >> the timing of the uncertainty isn't great relative will north korea, that's for sure. melanie, i know you have some reporting on republicans considering impeaching rosenstein. take a listen to this. >> for some that suggested i'm filing this bill because i don't trust the president, it's quite the contrary. i trust this president on this issue. what i don't trust are future presidents that i don't know yet. >> okay. so there's a lot of reading between the lines going on there. essentially, how divided are republicans now over mueller and this investigation? >> it's interesting because on the one hand, you have some republicans who are lining up behind this legislation

it's all about chris coons. proxy vote of johnny isakson. weighs at a funeral for one of his very dear friends in georgia. unfortunately the senate rules in this circumstance require all members to be present. effective vote was 10-10 meaning a tie. johnny isakson wasn't coming back to 10:30 at night. chris coons changed his vote to present. allowing the outcome to move forward. now, the outcome was the same. it didn't change the outcome it just expedited the hearing by many, many hours. brian: by the way 10-10 would have been very embarrassing. here is senator corker. listen. >> i particularly want to thank senator coons for displaying the statesmanship that i have been accustomed to seeing in the senate. i'm proud of him. i'm proud of our committee. and i'm happy for the american people. brian: here's thing. this shouldn't have been tough. he was qualified. he might not agree with you. senator menendez over 600 questions that needed to be answered before he would consider voting for him? that's an insult. >> a

this is chris coons voicing his objections.ys, i remain concerned that director pompeo will embolden rather than moderate or restrain president trump's most belligerent and dangerous instincts. what do you think of that? >> he takes seriously his management abilities, and that's okay, we need that. but in terms of his views, it's not particularly clear that he has a spine insofar as he has radically shifted his own views in order to comply with what the trump administration seems to want. this is the guy who previously denounced president obama for entering into dialogue over cuba, for entering into dialogue with the iranians who previously suggested doing that with north korea would be a terrible mistake. now he seems to be happy to do it. that's okay with me. i think dialogue is a good idea, but it does raise the questions of, boy, what are your views, actually? if they're as bellicose as they have been in the past, that gets kind of scary. i'm not quite as willing as john is to let him off the hook about the served during th

it is corey booker, senator thom tillis, lindsay graham is posed in this group with chris coons.bipartisan group to stop this from happening? >> i think this flies in the face of the concept that everyone around trump is in a big rocks. you can't say moderate republicans especially on the hill, sarah huckabee sanders who is his spokesperson. republicans are having a hard time containing him. they've had the same problem his entire presidency thus far. this is about the american people. this isn't a partisan issue. it's gotten to the point where this affects america. these guys know that and they are people with massive name recognition of both their parties stepping forward with them. i think it's very strategic. >> you've got to ask the question, what are republicans in house going to do? he seems to have bipartisanship in the senate. but we do know we have an active prodrug caucus in the house of representatives that has been a thorn in the side of paul ryan and the leadership. what's going to happen there. cheryl: we don't know, but i do want to read several reports with many

it all came down to senator chris coons.e volunteered to vote present in order to make johnny isaac son's vote count. he was unable to be there due to a funeral. bob corker praising the actions of his colleagues. >> i'm thankful that our committee voted the way it did to move mike pompeo on a positive vote to the floor. in particular, i want to thank senator coons for displaying the statesmanship that i've been accustomed to seeing in the senate. i'm proud of him, proud of our committee. >> jon: joining us now, another senator, rob portman, republican from ohio. senate finance committee member and former director of the office of management and budget under president bush. so how long will it take, senator, for the full senate to confirm mike pompeo to be secretary of state? >> probably wednesday or thursday if democrats object to moving forward with his nomination, they can push it off until thursday. then we'll have a vote. it's about time. you know, we need someone there badly. you talked earlier about what is going on wi

also one note about chris coons, the senator, facebook says they have located all those fake profilesthere was some evidence some of his new friends were russian bots as well. >> that's exactly right. >> jo, when we talk about a long hearing at this level and with this intensity, zuckerberg has never done anything like this. >> that's right, andrea, he has done nothing close to this. in fact, zuckerberg has been very -- he's been infamous for avoiding interviews, doing very little especially in person, and now the company is trying to change that strategy, making him available not only to congress but a little bit more to us journalists out here. because there's been such a long-standing strategy of avoiding answering questions, facebook is going to definitely feel the heat today from a variety of angles, from the policy, legal and research front, the financial front. we'll also be watching that stock price and seeing how analysts on wall street feel about how his answers play on capitol hill, because obviously a lot of the company, 90% of the company's revenue just about relies on ad

my question, though, remains and let me go to senator chris coons.s it has been probably since the early 1980s, maybe 1980 when we refused to send our athletes to the olympics in moscow. so the question is, how do we move back from that position? and what does -- what is the first step in that process? and what could we agree to in syria with the russians that would actually help us move towards a more constructive relationship with a country that we have to have a constructive relationship with? >> well, joe, i'll agree with richard that the only thing that's worse than a bad plan is no plan. and it is unclear to those of us in the foreign relations committee or the leadership of congress exactly what the president's plan is with regards to syria and more importantly -- >> right. >> russia. >> i understand that. you both are saying that. my question to both of you is what does a constructive plan look like? what should we have people inside the white house advising the president to do? what does that plan look like going forward? we understand donal

the only democrat that is undecided is chris coons.o it's looking like it might not get that favorable recommendation, the first time in 100 years for a high level cabinet member. but it seems there's the vote on the full senate floor to do that. >> shepard: is this purely politics? why should the sitting president of the united states not have who he wants as a secretary of state? what is the beef? >> well, what a lot of republicans are arguing is that this is completely partisan politics. it's really a national security interest. a national security liability to not have someone like pompeo or anyone else in that possession for secretary of state, especially with this north korean meeting coming up on the table. >> shepard: what is the complaint? is it about human rights? what is it? >> a lot of people, most of the complaints that we're hearing, especially the people that had voted yes for him to be cia director like tim kaine and senator shaheen, they voted yes for him to be cia director. now that he's up for secretary of state, the

chris coons of delaware tried to get at it with his world view. he was doing things by the book as the fbi did was not american. he danced around that but he did say something interesting as part of his answer there, which was if the president ends up firing robert mueller, would he resign? and effectively his answer was no. >> he wouldn't resign because he's got a very important mission as secretary of state to continue to achieve those goals. john, what did you think? >> to the point where he wouldn't even say it was an attack on america was an interesting answer. he did try to help himself, if you will, by saying, but the agency, the cia which he runs now, are getting constant requests to help with these investigations by the intelligence and to be as quick as you can and as cooperative as you can. people will look at this and the democrats will not be happy with those answers. republicans, some of whom -- i think most republicans would like him to come out and say robert mueller's investigation is not an attack on america. most republicans in

it required chris coons of delaware to vote present because johnny isakson couldn't make it there. it is seen by many as an act of bipartisanship. i'm wondering if you can reflect on that moment. >> i think it is an act of courtesy. our committee does try to work in a bipartisan manner and i think the reputation of the senate foreign relation s committee is that we do that. the circumstances are such that the committee supported pompeo, i did not. that is going to the floor of the united states senate. >> where you will once again vote against it, sir, correct? >> that's correct. i believe our secretary of state needs to be the top diplomat in our country. always recognizing that we should use diplomacy certainly before we use military. and mr. pompeo's record on iran, the record in regard to the paris climate talks, gives me grave concern as to whether he can carry out that responsibility. >> on the subject of iran, very much at the top of the meetings between the french leader emmanuel macron and president trump, we watched the arrival of president macron at the white house and o
