coburn also believes the new law could be found unconstitutional. >> there's no way you can assure and guarantee constitutional provisions under what passed. so, this provision will eventually be thrown out, be challenged, and on appeal they'll lose because you cannot guarantee american citizens their constitutional rights if they're non-tribal members in a tribal court. >> reporter: but the justice department's sam hirsch says any tribe that proceeds with prosecutions must adhere to a list of constitutional guarantees laid out in the new law. >> here's the evidence that it's working: under the pilot project, more than two dozen non-indians have now been charged with domestic violence and dating violence crimes. they all have the right to go straight to federal court and ask to be released if their rights are being violated. and how many have done so? zero. >> reporter: so far? >> so far. >> reporter: hirsch concedes the law is limited, especially because it only covers domestic violence and not more serious crimes. but he says the justice department is stepping up its prosecution rate

coburn. those -- they're treated like a company, treat them like other companies and get full for the contributions they make to the social security. and parts part we introduced a year ago. another we introduced today is the rates the post office can charge. and the rate case, that let the postal service, they were badly damaged, fled, they found the internet to use the postal service, and the postal service had to raise their rates a little bit, a little bit, and the fact is is that forever, is it going to go away, and with negotiating, the guy named john kane, the negotiating agreement with the postal service, and all these people were able to raise it for a couple more years and then we'll go through another process, existing process to scab a new postal rate. but provide some stability over the next couple of years. and another piece in the whole bill, but the idea behind the legislation is to give them enough to be successful, to be like other companies and equitable through the medicar

coburn was noncommittal. but he sent a regiment of west indian soldiers and 2 british magistrates on board the creole, and pretty soon, the soldiers took the 19 off and put them in jail. but from hog island came a huge flotilla of hundreds and hundreds of small boats. locals, little small -- sailboats. and surrounded the creole. and all those other slaves climbed overboard and got on them and moved into nassau. they vanished. all the slaves, all 135 slaves, except five, left. five elected to stand board. the u.s. consular officer bacon formally protested -- formally protested and demanded the return of the 19 slaves, but all those other slaves had vanished. on november 19, the creole sailed without its slaves to new orleans. and without the captain, he was so severely injured that he had to stay in nassau for a well. -- for a wild. help fromoburn sought london, from downing street. it took a little while, but at the very end of january, london wrote back to coburn and said, look, the 19 slaves charged with mu

grosvenor coburn sought he lp. it took a little while. at the end of january, the 19 slaves charged with murder could be charged with murder. but since they are not british and your ship is in british and the murder didn't play -- take place in british waters, they can't be tried in a british court. the u.s. could try these guys come up at the u.s. has no extradition treaty with great written. we can't -- great britain. we cannot turn them over. the british freed the slaves who were held in jail and they vanished. creole arrived in new orleans on november 2. needless to say, the city was in virtual flames over this. the louisiana senator demanded war against great britain. for taking all of this american property and so on. the south carolina senator said this is the most outrageous action. we must go to war against great britain. in congress, john quincy adams wrote a petition that war with britain over the creole would be unjust. a petition to censor quincy adams was filed to but failed. a young congressman from ohio, joshua giddings, j

senator coburn, i really appreciate you standing up for solving problems at all.nd i was just wondering -- well, actually, where i come from, actions be gladder than words. in oklahoma, i'm sure that is the same. but solving problems, you left the senate instead of continuing fighting. -- i just wanted to know note you filibustered the veterans aid bill before you left and you filibustered the haitian aid bill on the floor when they definitely needed its after the earthquake. how does that fit in with solving problems? thank you. guest: all you have to do is look at what happened with the veterans aid bill, and it is a farce. it is failing. i didn't filibuster it, i voted against it. i was on the conference committee that voted out. what it didn't accomplish -- the v.a. is cheating veterans on their vouchers right now, and we have over 200,000 veterans that can't get care right now, which should've been able to get care under the voucher program. not thataiti bill is it wasn't needed, it is how it was going to be spent and who it was going to be spent through. and

can you talk about the pope'scance of both the visit when it comes to the death penalty and tom coburns calling for glossip to be saved? >> that was wonderful. when you have voices that are being raised with credibility in the community like that, you know something significant is happening. and i just personally am convinced there is no way that pope francis is going to come to the united states and not address the death penalty. he already has made strong, strong statements about it. and he knows how broken it is. and other cases i have been in touch with him through contact people, and i know how strongly he feels about it. and so he will directly -- no doubt about it. amy: thank you all for being with us, sister helen prejean and kim van atta, both joining us from oklahoma city. and liliana segura, we will link to your pieces of the intercept on the case of richard glossip who is scheduled to die on wednesday unless that sentence is commuted. that does it for the broadcast. democracy now! is looking for feedback from people who ap [captions made possible by kcet television]

i went back today and look at coburn's waste report. senator coburn put out.hing hike $371,000 to look at whether women emotionally react differently to seeing a pet and their child. >> do you? >> i don't have a child or a pet. but i believe that when i am a mother, i will prefer my child to my pet. i don't know how that works. >> at a parent it depends on the day. >> go ahead. >> the point is there are things we can be looking at and he is right to draws attention to them and also draw attention to fact he is proposing to penal 400 billion decide to $600 million deporting the illegal immigrants. this is not a man who is afraid of waste. he talked about how he uses the tax code to his advantage because he likes money. >> he is kick -- i -- she is quite right to point out, lisa, that, look, the devil is in the detail and there's a lot of de -- not a lot of details here put one thing that resonated with me is the fact he knows full well that it has to be in hand with addressing spending and the waste and just the nonsense behind so much nonsense, and we do know

to your point yesterday for sport we looked at the coburn waste report from 2014 and we were paying $19 million a year federally to keep people on suspension with their pay. we can fire more people. we don't need to fire everyone. unions serve a purpose. i know they need to be scaled back, but we can get it done. hillary clinton is very balanced about unions. >> so this is good. we are making progress. jessica thinks we should fire the rubber room employees that are draining the system. >> jessica did not say that. >> i swear i heard that. >> my issue with this, first i like the guy. i am a comedian and it is funny he did that. 30 days suspended without pay. p by that logic for talking like a robot al gore should be serving a life sentence. i just think it is funny. every time i call customer service i have to listen to a guy named bob from india. i would rather listen to an american robot. >> it is above bureaucracy. >> how did you not do this segment in robot voice? i was fully anticipating the terminator and instead we got you. >> we had the "lost in space" robot. i wanted to save it

a number of my colleagues, particularly former senator coburn, took this off it and i did as well as others, to point out areas where not the republican party had decided, where not individuals representing their party had decided, but where agencies of the government, nonpartisan agencies of the government, general accounting office, the congressional budget office, the office of management and budget at the white house, had produced -- had investigated and produced examples of sending that were either waste, fraud or abuse. had no legitimate -- who legitimate qualifications to stay on the books. we started looking into this. thanks to senator coburn and others, have come up with a number of things that we could easily take off the books, easily use to pay for essential things, easily use to reduce our deficit spending, keep from going into debt, return money to taxpayers, however we wanted to do it. so we started accumulating that, and our goal was to reach $100 billion, just simply to defy the myth that was taking place there was just not a penny we could cut and we've done all we

what coburn was saying.and rich for these comedians as time passes. >> i still think it is the space for colbert. yes you pointed out john oliver has done a good job as well. but smart talk about the politics. it doesn't just turn everybody off. smart. it's true. >> snl too. >> i wonder who they will parody the most? donald trump -- that's not my answer. i'm segueing to him. he's making his own rules. and will he be ready for the big showeddow showdown? and has he won the first round by not prepping? and once you find it, you can switch it right on again. you're back! freeze it, only from discover. get it at discover.com. i'god blessed and teeming with citpeople of all kinds...e. living in harmony and peace. trump: they're bringing crime. they're rapists. if i am elected they're... going to be out of there day one. reporter: do you think birth right citizenship should be ended? walker: yeah, absolutely. cruz: i think we should end birth right citizenship trump: i will build a great, great wall... in my mind

i worked for an anti establishment member, tom coburn. rid of earmarks, cut tons of wastal spending and helped reform the party. >> more important than the question of who are trump supporters or potential voters is the question who are those people still undecided or have not found a candidate that they can support at this time, and how many of them are there? so how many are not participating in the process because, not only the on going circus of trump, but so many candidates, i can't make a decision -- finding out what are the issues that matter to me which we know of, the economy matters for folks moving our economy. there's so many social issues that matter. >> immigration. >> immigration as well. who are those voters and why haven't they been able to make a decision. >> real fast, sahill and i have to get ben in for the last word? >> those voters are people who hate the republican establishment about as much as they hate the president. 65% of trump supporters say they're mad as hell at wall street. he's saying we need to close the
