senator dan sullivan, thank you so much. have a great weekend.nd speaking of the attorney general, a new report that the president tried to persuade jeff sessions not to recuse himself from the russian investigation. what that could mean in the special counsel's probe. when you say you need a heart transplant... that's a whole different ballgame. i was in shock. i am very proud of the development of drugs that can prevent the rejection and prevent the recurrence of the original disease. i never felt i was going to die. we know so much about transplantation. and we're living longer. you cannot help but be inspired by the opportunities that a transplant would offer. my donor's mom says "you were meant to carry his story". >> dana: the new report claims that president trump tried to prevent jeff sessions from recusing himself from this special investigation. to convince sessions to stay on board. up at the attorney general rejected the suggestion. joining me now is a former deputy assistant attorney general under president george w. bush and also a

we're joined by republican senator dan sullivan. he serves on the armed service committee, represents the state of alaska. what's your understanding, senator, where does it stand at this moment? >> right now the democrats' position continues to be the same one, which is unless there's a daca deal by tonight, according to their terms, they're going to move to force a shutdown of the government. that's where they've been. right now it's in the hands of senator schumer and his colleagues. i'm hopeful that they'll see that that's not a good way to go. >> that would be a relatively simple way to avert a government shutdown and move on the for example the compromised proposal put forward by your republican colleague lindsey graham and dick durbin were simply attached as an amendment. you want the d.r.e.a.m.ers to be able to stay here in the united states in any case, right? >> i think getting a deal on immigration is important. but the key issue on that is we have time. we do have time. where we don't have time is with regard to the gover

but dan sullivan was pointed, the fbi and the d.o.j.k down ted stevens in a corrupt prosecution in alaska and he has no -- no hesitation to believe that a few bad actors in the bureau or the d.o.j. can take it rogue. i personally think the republicans in the house are overselling the nunez report. they ought to lay back and put it out in two weeks and see what is in it but i would not over-promise and i would continue to say leave special counsel mueller alone. but i'll ask you -- it reminds me so much of spiro agnew in 1973 where a u.s. attorney investigated him for 11 months and then one day he resigns because of tax evasion charges and gives up his office in order to avoid prosecution. i don't think you can prosecute the president of the united states. i don't believe it is constitutional to indict him but i think mueller might be working along those lines. >> let me ask you about attacked on andrew mccabe. because i feel as if -- i feel as if we've crossed a line here that we're never going to get back. does this mean that anybody w

we overuse that word in the united states senate, that is for sure, but dan sullivan is my friend, but he's wrong on this. first of all, a small point. the nfl network is back up and running on the armed forces network. that was fixed on saturday. second of all, there were unanimous consent requests on friday night to make sure we pay the military. on friday night, a unanimous consent request was made to pay the military. it was objected to by the majority leader. and then we tried again yesterday, and it was objected to by the majority leader. and so when the junior senator from alaska alleges that we are emerging with slick talking points about the need to support our military service members and civilian d.o.d. employees, i take personal offense. and i agree, it should not be slick talking points. this should not be a bluj i don't know that one party -- a bludgeon or one member of one party uses against the member of another party, but let's just get our facts straight about what happened. i am not excusing what a government shutdown does to people. civilian d.o.d., service members,
