>> senator coons: i am. very concerned, and frankly, chris, as you just brought up in her interview with the ambassador, there is a menu of things to be concerned about, that he might withdraw american troops from syria, that he might cancel military exerces with crd pressed ambassador whether he could say with confidence he would do none of those things or weaken a nato alliance, another thing you raised, and he couldn't say that with clarity and confidence. after president trump's with last performances in brussels, the united kingdom and the g7 summit, i will say it's difficult to predict with clarity what president trump will or won't do with vladimir putin. that's what gives me real pause. >> chris: i'm going to get to some of those other issues in a moment, but let's go back to this issue of election meddling. when i talk to the ambassador and i said are you going to put the russians on notice? no meddling in november at the midterms or the relationship is in dire jeopardy, and he said yes. do you have

coons: thank you, mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from delaware. mr. coons: thank you, mr. president. i come to the floor today with my colleague, senator flake of arizona, to send a strong and clear and importantly a bipartisan message to the american people, which is that we stand with the men and women of the department of justice, the men and women of the u.s. intelligence community. we sport the ongoing investigation into russian interference in our elections and we must act, and act unequivocally to hold russia accountable for its actions. mr. president, just three days after the u.s. intelligence community issued a detailed and staggering find that led to an indictment against 12 russian military intelligence officers for interfering in our 2016 election, president trump stood shoulder to shoulder with president putin and failed to challenge putin's claim that his government played no role in the effort to undermine our democracy. fix nics, when asked -- in fact when asked if he believed puti

iowa republican joni ernst and delaware democrat chris coons. plus we'll have plenty of analysis on all the political news of the week coming up on "face the nation." good morning and welcome to "face the nation." we begin with a story that is dominating world headlines. the efforts ofree 12 young boys and their soccer coach, who have been trapped in a flooded cave in thailand for 16 days. that rescue has been under way in at least -- and least four of the boys have been saved. cbs news correspondent ben tracy is near the site in chiang rai, thailand. ben, what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, margaret, so far this is the news that we had all been hoping to hear. these four boys now out of the cave after 16 very long days. we now believe that all four of them were transported to the hospital in chiang rai via helicopter and then ambulance. we did see the head of this rescue operation gave a news conference. he said this was much more successful than they thought it would be, that it went very smoothly. he said from the time the boys exited th

chris coons, senator coons and i met in 1988, we worked on a campaign for the u.s. senate that was one of the least successful campaigns ever, anywhere. in fact a friend of mine -- i had taken a leave of absence from a very good job at mckinsey and company to work on this campaign. and the partner in charge told me he was watching the results that night and he said, your race was the first one called out of the entire country. and i'm sure much of that had to do with the help that senator coons and i provided. he is beloved in delaware. for good reason. he is brilliant. and there's no question about it. he's just -- you know when you hear it and people across the country have seen that he's incredibly real. this is a guy who, are you the only chemist in the senate? probably. chemistry degree from amherst, a law degree and a divinity degree from yale. went to south africa to work for bishop tutu. came back to work for the coalition of the homeless in new york. not in the office, but on the streets. you know, he has, he has learned not just in the classroom, but he ha

chris: senator coons thank you. thanks for joining us.u, sir. >> thank you. chris: so what can we expect from this summit? some experts question why it is even being held. and what about president trump's attacks on members of the nato alliance? what was the strategy there? we will ask two reporters here to cover the summit, what they are hearing from their sources, on this special edition of "fox news sunday" in helsinki. that's why there's ocuvite. ocuvite helps replenish nutrients your eyes can lose as you age. it has lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3. ocuvite. be good to your eyes. ito take care of anyct messy situations.. and put irritation in its place. and if i can get comfortable keeping this tookus safe and protected... you can get comfortable doing the same with yours. preparation h. get comfortable with it. well, esurance makes it simple and affordable. in fact, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved an average of $412. that's auto and home insurance for the modern world. esurance. an allstate company. click or call. pa

joining me now from wilmington, delaware, democratic senator chris coons. indictment of those 12 russian intelligence officers, the announcement on friday for alleged interference in the 2016 election. should president trump cancel the summit with vladimir putin? >> i think it's too late to cancel the summit. but president trump needs to make it clear he knows who he's meeting with. he's not meeting with a competitor, not a potential friend, he's meeting with an adversary. president trump's own director of national intelligence, dan coats, just said on friday that russia continues to be our most aggressive foreign adversary in an ongoing threat to our upcoming election. >>chris: i want to pick up on the president's reaction and response because deputy attorney general rod rosenstein in announcing the indictments said he had briefed president trump before he left for europe. this is how president trump has addressed the whole issue here in the days before the summit in europe. this is how he talked first of all about the mueller investigation and how he inte

coons: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from delaware. mr. coons: mr. president, i just want to offer my response to the very disappointing renewed objection that senator flake and i have attempted to move through this body twice. last week senator flake and i came to speak clearly in support of our intelligence community and state that russia's attacks on our democracy will not be tolerated and we will take action in a firm, bipartisan, and swift way. some have said this is a simple or symbolic message, and i'll say there are powerful symbols that motivate our nation, like our flag, that although symbolic are substantive in their consequences. after the narrow objection from one senator last week, tonight we hear another objection saying what we should be focused on is on the president's nominees and funding the federal government. i frankly don't get the point. if this symbolic resolution, which calls on this sandt to act on -- senate to act on imposing sanctions in order to push back on russia's attack on our democracy cannot find two minutes to adop

the one on the left is zip coon. he is a free black. the laugh is always that he is trying to talk -- he is a free black. the left is that he is always trying to talk in a refined manner. since the idea that african-americans are inferior, they cannot improve. so here somebody that is trying to improve and he cannot do it. yours gets himself into humiliating and embarrassing situations trying to get refined. trying to speak properly. the other stock character, the one on the right is jim crow. jim crow is a country bunk and who is ignorant, and he is always getting into situations where he gets a comic, from trying to look smart, or when he goes to the city and tries to fit in but he is a country bumpkin. now, think about what we talked about, all of the young men moving to the city. so, here's extent the -- here's a character and because he is an african-american, this can get laughs among the urban class, working-class audience. so, we're going to talk about the songs of the minstrel shows and what they reflect in a later class. -- la

coons: i ask proceedings under the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. coons: madam president, i just wanted to briefly add my personal thanks to the senators from wyoming and pennsylvania who just spoke. their work on getting this bipartisan solution to the perkins c.t.e. reauthorization is nothing short of admirable. i have worked with the senator from florida, senator rubio, for seven years on an education demonstration program called the american dream accounts. both of these terrific senators were gracious in including it in this bill. this is a bill that is going to make possible programs all over this country that smooths and clears the pathway towards meaningful employment for young americans. i wish more people knew about this kind of work, this kind of effort that these two senators have made to move forward the sort of bipartisan, responsible solutions to the real problems facing americans that we need, and i just want to take one moment and thank them both for their tireless work to achieve this g

coons: thank you. sec. pompeo: of course. sen. coons: and a number of senators on both sides have recognized that you've got an important role in a very difficult time. i want to up front just say i was pleased to hear about the crimea declaration. i think it's important for the administration to be forceful, and clear about our position with regards to russia's illegal annexation of crimea. i remember my whole childhood, there was a little box in every american map that said we refuse to recognize the illegal annexation of the baltic states by the soviet union in 1940, and for decades, folks thought it was aspirational and never -- and it would never happen. today, the baltic states are free p they are nato allies and the chairman and i recently visited latvia as well and heard from them about their determination to remain free and to take strong steps against russia's interference. finland and latvia, the baltic states, other allies of ours in that region are prepared to invest more in their own defense, and to strengthen their

coons: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from delaware. mr. coons: are we currently in a quorum call? the presiding officer: we are. mr. coons: i ask unanimous consent that the proceedings under the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. coons: mr. president, on this day, a century ago, an extraordinary life began that would chairve the live -- change the lives of millions of others. a hundred years ago dannelson mandela was born in the countryside of grass-covered rolling hills in the eastern cape of south africa. that day began a 95-year journey of one man who led the south african people to liberation and whose legacy continues to reverberate through time. over the course of his life, nelson mandela known by his nickname became venerated as a global advocate for justice by millions. arguably more than any other political figure of our time. political activism and resistance, he led a revolution by shepherding his people from racial division, hat

senator coons is one of 20 members on the senate judiciary committee.uest: we heard minority leader chuck schumer was in the ear of the president, invoking merrick garland again. this is something you will hear consistently from the democrats. i think we need to lay out why we are here. when you talk to conservatives and to folks around the president, there are a lot of people who feel like these past republican presidents, who have nominated justices to the supreme court, have not necessarily gotten what folks wanted. i think they look at the nominees that democrats have seated and say these folks are coming down in their rulings the way that that president intended. that is what is leading to a lot of pressure on the right. they do not want to miss with this pick. democrats realize that as well. this could be something that changes the balance, obviously because of justice kennedy, for 20 to 40 years. the stakes could not be higher. host: we will get to your phone calls in a moment. you can begin dialing at (202) 748-8000 -- that is your line for demo

i'll speak with senator chris coons. but our correspondents and specialists, they're standing by with full coverage. first, let's go straight to senior white house correspondent jeff zeleny. tell us about the stunning effort today at damage control. >> wolf, a firestorm unlike any other of his time in office so far both internally and extermly. we're told that several top aides gathered the try to piece together the remarks we saw the president give earlier this afternoon. he was hearing from republican loyal allies on editorial pages across the country and had to do something. but, wolf, sitting inside the white house this afternoon, certainly not on the world stage as he was in helsinki but he tried to explain the remarks and clear it up like this. >> so i got a transcript. i reviewed. i reviewed a clip of an answer that i gave. and i realized that there is a need for some clarification. it should have been obvious. i thought it would be obvious. but i would like to clarify just in case it wasn't. in a key sentence in

>> well, chris, just today chris coons and i introduced a bipartisan resolution. this is a non-binding resolution but a sense of the senate. that one, we stand behind the intelligence community and we reject the claims of vladimir putin when it comes to interference in our elections. we know that he did it. and i wish the president, rather than asking him, would have made the statement, we know you that interfered. so this will put us firmly on the side of our intelligence community. and it will also say that the sanctions that have been passed by congress, by a vote of 98-2, should be immediately and fully implemented. and also it says that we commend the department of justice for the investigation that led to the indictment of 12 russians. we know they did what they did. so i think that's important for congress to state that and we'll bring that up tomorrow. >> it is. it gets you into the feels of it. you know, a resolution is what the kids would call a little bit of meh today. you know, it's not going to actually make anything different. but it's a start in ter

i'm joined now by delaware democratic senator chris coons, thank you for joining us. >> great to be one could be a shutdown this fall? >> i am. this doesn't help anyone. no one here in congress is itching for a government shutdown because frankly that shows that we're not able to do our most important job here, which is to compromise and to move things forward. president trump seems to think a shutdown is a great idea, and i'll remind you that what he's threatening to shut down the government over is getting full funding for his proposal for a border wall, which he campaigned saying he would somehow get mexico to pay for it. now he's demanding that the american taxpayer spend billions of dollars on a border wall that both republicans and democrats have said is not a smart use of money. now, katy, to be clear, this isn't a fight between republicans who want border security and democrats who want open borders. a lot of democrats, including myself, we voted for a significant investment in border security as part of the bills that we took up and voted on earlier this year in february to tr

joining us now is democratic senator chris coons of delaware.ks so much for being with us. you were asked flat out if the president's all caps tweets on iran and then of course this statement from the white house press briefing room on the possibility of revoking security clearances, you were asked bluntly is this an effort to distract by the president? your answer was, yes. >> that's right, john. frankly the idea that a few career intelligence officials who served across both republican and democratic administrations should have their security clearances revoked is a pure distraction. it's also just frankly being petty. most of these officials either don't use their security clearances or have no relevant access to classified information anymore. and i'll note that the list of who is being singled out exactly coincides with those who have been publicly critical of the president. this is the sort of attack on free speech, the press and the rights of individuals to speak out in our country that really doesn't serve the president well. >> what's t

but that's by no means guaranteed in the town of ken coon a few kilometers from the beach the sand has been shattered. you know look at these bullet holes. that you know. three people shot down outside a nightclub what used to be headline news has become an everyday occurrence mobile reporter ray gomez visits crime scenes and these days that's a full time job. in cancun used to be a quiet town and people didn't lock their doors at night and now they're up to six murders a day the drug cartels are fighting each other grandstanding proving that the toughest. in this case and they are destroying a tourist. the for the most effect and i still think. we spend a day with ray it's action packed murders he usually preceded by threats. at this nightclub owner and me or has to pay protection money he's scared but he's willing to tell us how the system works they were. even worse they may come and shoot at your business or your liver or something tell you they'll send someone you need to pay if you don't want it to happen again. so you can refuse you pay up or they shoot us will see us made up. t

>> you know, after this segment, someone tweet today me, you coon mf, you fox coon mf.ed. and the reason they didn't move is because you spelled coon with a k. i decided i'm not going to send it i just blocked the guy. neil: you can do that and block the guy? you would have to block 90% of our viewers. >> but it's unfortunate that that much is out there. that that much hatred and anger is out there. >> and there's more hatred now is still going um. and-- >> what are you going to do? how are you going to calm it down? you have to have a sense of humor about it. >> and actually on twitter, a comment, used to-- they wrote me a private message. i used to say the nastiest things about you on twitter and actually the way you've been acting and smile when you give your points, you're never nasty and i haven't been mean to you in a long time and you don't know this, i don't know if you're reading this, but i wanted you to know. neil: that was very nice to do that. >> thank you for doing that. >> kathy-- >> we've got to calm things down. riot? >> and the president has actually b

i didn't hear senator coons this morning, but i had the pleasure of listening to senator coons for many years of my life. i know what he was speaking about. about hope and equity. you cannot get to those words, the reality of those words if you don't -- like mayor james said -- start talking to children with a vocabulary that helps their minds grow and expand when they're young. very young. like born. and the first three years of life. now, presidents -- president bush understood this. president clinton understood it. hillary clinton understood it. she talked about it a lot. we're just not doing it. while i'm going to focus a minute on new orleans and charter schools and how i got to the point where i got helping to build this, i want you to know and understand clearly that my motivation, the motivation of many coalitions that i work with, broad coalitions is keeping our eyes on creating the institutions of learning in this country that can lift every single child up from wherever they are, from whatever household, from whatever zip code. and our public school system does not today do t

coons: at senator .t is about -- it is not about conservatives or liberals, it is about the constitution. the democrats keep moving the goalposts, senator cowan's and other democrats keep trying to say the republicans held up garland, that proves we should do the same thing this year. it has never been about an off election year. one of obama's picks was approved during an off election year. it is about the rules the democrats set that upset the pr ecedent for the pr not selecting a judge during a presidential election year. i am in favor of mcconnell getting rid of the filibuster rule altogether. i don't have a doubt in my mind that the next progression in the way democrats are doing this, don't forget it was harry reid that13 that established -- used the nuclear option to open the store in the first place. we are faced with a scenario has the think if trump best set chance of succeeding -- democrats are doing every they can to obstruct. anduld assume they go ahead get rid of the filibuster rule now. it

senator coons: thank you for reminding us about the compelling stories about how courts matter and how the decisions of the supreme court matter more than any other court's decision in ways as it impacted you as a mother and daughter. the supreme court is not a temple or an academic institution but the nine justices apply the constitution to our society, to our lives and families and courts have consequences. it didn't have to be this way. president trump could have nominated someone last night not off the narrow list off of those pre-cleared like the federalist society and we could be discussing someone with a wide open record commanded by a partisan majority. we have someone who we know has a long record at being at the most conservative of the jurisprudence in our country. but we don't know his full record. he was at the center of the bush administration. he has written hundreds of opinions on the d.c. circuit court. and so the president having taken his constitutional step of nominating a supreme court justice, we have a job to dig into his record, to go through it thoroughly, to d

coons: mr. president, i am proud to join my colleague, senator lankford of oklahoma, in bringing our committee bill, the financial services and general government appropriations bill to the floor. i want to thank the full committee chair and vice chairman, senators shelby and leahy for their leadership and their bipartisan work that laid out the process that we are now following to make real progress on our appropriations process. chairman lankford, i want to thank you for working on me with this bill. to my colleague senator lankford of oklahoma, i express my appreciation for being a great partner and for a positive experience working together and how much i value our collegial relationship. i also want to thank the key staff of this subcommittee, andy knewton -- newton, lauren kamel and diane hamilton and reeves hart. they are examples of the people who work here year in, year out, week in, week out, who make it possible for us to craft large and complicated, compromised bills like this one an

if you listen to senator coons i think he nailed it. show up. you use these two things and i think it is something a lot of politicians have a hard time doing for me it is much more natural to listen more than i talk because most of my career i was a newspaper reporter i did that 17 years. but you know any good reporter you ask follow-up questions then you listen. the reason i did this report from the heartland if you google let it is the first thing that comes up it is a 52 page report but read the whole thing just read the executive summary and then breakouts of all eight midwestern states and what has happened with these 1000 seats we have lost most of those are in the midwest the governor seats, state legislatures and congressional seats almost 1000 seats. i wanted to find out who was doing it right? we talked to 72 democrats more at the local level and i called them survivors because these are people who could navigate this and the tough swing districts. what did they do to be successful and the secret to their success and it is spelled out

i am thrilled to see senator coons walk in the room. my job, i will introduce him in a few minutes but i will have to fill the time until he gets here. it has been almost a year and a half since i served as governor so i do not do this much anymore. >> speeches are not as long so i am glad and you should be glad that i don't have to fill a lot of time. i want to think will, he has been wonderful when it comes to promoting the problem-solving politics the people in the country are so hungry for. i had the opportunity to attend the kickoff events and the one in denver. the level of energy in the country and the level of talent for mayors and state legislators, members of congress and others is incredible. we had so much strength across the country, it's really something important and valuable for us to build on. for understandable reasons, people are anxious and desperate about this coming election. we hear every election that this is the most important election of our lives. , people really feel like this one really is. people are so des

before i speak to it, i do want to speak to the flake-coons resolution. i would have supported it, although i believe it's the minimum of what this body should be expressing after what we saw in helsinki. this is a moment for bipartisanship and for patriotism, because what i saw in helsinki speaks to the opposite of standing up to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the united states. and i find it interesting in the majority whip's objection to the resolution, the coming to a vote, that among other things, he's talking about we should have more sanctions against russia, which i will speak to shortly. we are in the midst of developing a new strong package of sanctions as it relates to russia. so i embrace and welcome him to that effort if he seeks to actually see real sanctions against russia. but, you know, we have sanctions. there are sanctions that passed 98-2 in this institution, passed overwhelmingly in the house of representatives, forced the president to sign it as a result of overwhelming votes, and yet have not been fulfilled. sanct

joining us now democratic senator chris coons, member of the foreign relations committee.ate with president obama suggested the russians were our greatest geopolitical foe. he was almost laughed off the stage by the president at the time. why this new fascination with the russian relationship among democrats? >> i don't see how it's relevant there was some presidential debate six years ago when what we all know today is that speaker ryan is right. that russia attacked our 2016 election, is threatening our 2018 election and since 2014 when they invaded and occupied crimea has been assertive and aggressive in a way we haven't seen in a long time. beginning with their assault on georgia in 2008 and accelerating with their attack in ukraine in 2014, vladimir putin's russia has become a newly-restored opponent of the united states and our nato allies with a ferocity and breadth that is deserving of bipartisan pushback. i'm grateful speaker ryan is being so clear-eyed about this. a number of republican senators from spoken forcefully about it and it is time for all of us in cong

chris coons is saying that. >> when paul ryan said that i had to take a second look to make sure it wasl ryan. but the democrats are in trouble. i think they are taking what many people said would be a sure win this fall. and are likely now putting it into a 50-50 scenario because of the hyper extreme elements on the left that want to hold these positions. and those then the moderate party of the democrats are concerned about it. certainly you have got to also grab independence. they have got issues? liz: curt, you get the next question. we ran out of time. the media ripping into trump for calling out germany's russia pipeline. but guess who else called out germany for that. john kerry and joe biden. not a people from the media then. lawmakers saying peter strzok deserves a purple heart for enduring the hearing yesterday. u something incredible. capital one has partnered with hotels.com to give venture cardholders 10 miles on every dollar they spend at thousands of hotels. all you have to do is pay with this at hotels.com/venture. 10 miles per dollar? that is incredible. brrrrr! i have

joining us now democratic senator chris coons of delaware. senator, good morning.ou. the argument seems to be at this point this morning from the white house that the president was sort of softening the ground with the all-caps tweet to set up a negotiation or a deal. you convinced by that argument? >> willie, i'm not convinced. this seems to be the same play book the president followed over several months with kim jong-un of north korea where he threatened and threatened and threatened some sort of aggressive all-out nuclear war on twitter and increasely abusive of kim jong-un, did a 180 degree turn and did a handshake photo op in singapore. my concern is he'll do the same, that he has now very briefly tweeted one all caps threat at president rouhani of the iranian islamic republic and will declare himself capable of concocting some better deal. the iran nuclear agreement which took years to put together and relied upon our european allies and china and russia isn't something you can replace with a few tweets and photo op. >> when you see a tweet like that one fro
