and cory booker takes more money from want street than the senate. he's a sell-out and a phone any. >> and kennedy, what did you make of elizabeth warren's words and how she said them? she brought out her finger at one point. >> it's very entertaining. these a condescending politics. this faction of the democratic party, of the status, they are the most controlling and these one of those people -- obviously a very smart person. there's times when she's very good articulating her beliefs. the unfortunate thing is when people like that get into power, they don't trust you. they see everyone else being beneath them. they're intellectual inferior. they have to tell you how to run your life. whether that is healthcare or the economy, it's a very, very overbearing and overwrought form of government. i mean that in a good way. >> totally good way. take away the ideology and the fact that she's a complete and total radical. she's dangerous for this country. i thought that about president obama as well. when he spoke, he had a charm and a way he gave speeches

cory booker is the fella -- sean, i swear.realize the democrats missed their paul revere moment altogether when the fbi was knocking on the door of the dnc? not only on the russians coming, they are there and they have broken into your servers and were told to go away by the dnc. we still don't know why they got away with that. >> sean: exactly. how did they get away with the fbi not looking at their servers and they bring in their own people? >> the dems aren't demanding a full on special prosecutor, every kind of investigation -- to find out why the dnc could get away with telling the fbi to go away? we are not going to worry about the russians. >> sean: how do you give an immunity deal to two people and then lou, i have never heard about this -- and all the years we've been broadcasting together -- and then let them destroy their laptops, the evidence in the case? >> i suppose you could make the case that if you're going to do one, you might as well do the other. 13 handheld devices. laptops going every which way -- they do

i understand why cory booker would want her testify.on that she would know something -- for 40 years administrations have had rules about contacts between staff and an ongoing investigation, so because there was an ongoing investigation and there was during the obama administration, the idea that susan rice knows something about this, there's actually no proof of it, so the idea that -- i understand the politics of wanting her to sort of testify. but in terms of substance, she's standing on solid ground. >> jason, why wouldn't she just come out and if there is nothing, she didn't mention a game why wouldn't she come out and say so? >> i think the problem is her t.j. would be chock full of taking the fifth. i don't think she wants that big p.r. nightmare. at a certain point they need to get through this so we can move on. the president had a huge win today with health care. most americans want to see health care reform, tax reform. it's been eight months in this without one threat of us, i think we should put this behind us. >> the evide

. >> i'm joined by cory booker. are you surprised they're going to vote on this tomorrow? >> i'm actually very surprised. after the incredible outpouring of americans that really shut a lot of folks down, this bill isn't better. they actually moved this bill to the right. a lot of these folks who are signing onto this now, i don't see how they don't understand that this craven bill is going to hurt many, many more americans. frankly, in my opinion, should this ever pass, and that's another issue, both houses, the folks who are voting for this will pay for this at the polls. i don't understand what they're doing. they didn't try to come to the middle. they didn't try to reach out to democrats. they didn't try to build a bipartisan coalition. they moved this further to the right and are pushing this now through. so i'm surprised at the outcome. >> i honestly don't know the answer to this question. do you talk to like new jersey members of the house on stuff like this? i mean you must work together on sfuf like medicaid and there's certain things you've got to deliver for you

. >>> new jersey democratic senator cory booker sits on the foreign relations committee and joins me now. so the scorecard on this trip so far, the big summit , a hard lie anti-semitism speech which is understandable, it's the position of this administration, but no mention of the human rights issues. deliberate reference to we're not going to electric which you were you, we won't talk to you about human rights. and then what happened in israel. do you want to take it from there? >> yeah. look, to me it's a glaring hole in this trip. and it's anguishing not just to me, but you see republican senators speaking out about the importance of us being a nation that stands for values, not just sort of our self interests, but larger values. to go to saudi arabia and not call out critical human rights issues, not to even talk about the dangerous exportation that they are involved in affecting the safety and security ranging from bosnia all the way to nations in asia, this is very problematic. and then to announce an arms deal, something that the obama administration rejected pulling out of ce

there's the kamala harris and cory booker and the mayor of south bend, indiana that could come out ofhere. >> this is what jeb bush ran into. had he a younger son. the next generation has got to take over and we'll probably see that in the george p. bushes of the world. there's been a lot of talk about chelsea. hillary clinton can be part of the resistance but then she's got to allow her daughter to grow into that if that's what she plans on doing. >> guys, stand by. interesting discussion there. >>> more breaking news to discuss as conservatives say president trump caved on the spending bill. he sends out his budget director to go off on democrats. hear what he just said and why he says the wall is being built right now. we'll be right back. stay with us. people confuse nice and kind but they're different... nice tells you what you want to hear. but kind is honest. this bar is made with cranberries and almonds. so, guess what? we call it cranberry almond. give kind a try. at where instead of payinging a befor middlemen,em. we work directly with family farms to deliver higher quality

. >>> i'm joined by senator cory booker, democrat from new jersey. senator, do you feel you understand why the president fired jim comey? >> i mean i don't. there's a lot of speculation as to that right now. i think my biggest worry comes back to what should be worrying all americans, is that we have had an attack on our country by a foreign power trying to undermine an essential part of our democracy, our electoral process. an investigation was ongoing by comey, which happened to involve ongoing criminal investigations to trump associates in his campaign. and the president has just moved to fire the person that was investigating his associates. so this is a very problematic reality dealing with a grave threat to our democracy. my biggest concern right now is that we have an independent investigation into this crisis. >> so independent investigation. there's two different routes here, and democrats don't seem to have arrived at consensus. one would be a special prosecutor or special counsel appointed in doj. the other is an independent investigation,
