>> some of it has to do with foreign aid and the use of taxpayer money and democrats like dick durbin you will find out in a moment, have been pressing for answers and maybe agree with the president about having some strength in making sure the money is spent well. all the talk of bombshells real and imagined, the ukraine has been billed as the third most corrupt country in the world. the upper president that is always skeptical of foreign aid and he has been transparent about wanting a review of what is known as ukraine security assistance initiative to make sure that the hundreds of millions of taxpayer money actually is spent in the best interests of america. also lost in these hearings, were democrats saying they want to help defend ukraine against russian aggression. the same democrats did not get then president barack obama to give ukraine lethal aid to battle russia. instead he will remember the obama administration literally offered blankets to the ukrainian military. it was known as nonlethal aid while it was president trump who gave them lethal aid in the form of the missile

joining us now is the number two democrat in the senate, dick durbin. thank you for being with us this morning. tomorrow, the beginning of the public impeachment hearings. history. how will you be watching? you, someone who may get to vote ultimately on whether or not to remove the president. what will you be listening for tomorrow? >> those of us in congress and on the political scene that follow this impeachment more closely than most americans, but i think when we go to public testimony, it's going to change. more and more people across the united states will tune in. we can read the transcripts of ambassador taylor and others, and they have some obvious value. but hearing them testify and be cross-examined really puts some power behind those statements. >> what do democrats need to prove tomorrow in your mind? >> well, i don't know if it will be proved in one day. it could be accumulation of evidence, people who are credible and understand the republicans on the committee are going to be cross-examining each of these witnesses. but i think it is up

. >> earlier today senator dick durbin spoke on the senate floor about deferred action for children arrivals, or daca, as the supreme court heard oral argument on the president's decision to end the daca program. he proposed legislation regarding daca recipients. senator blackburn rejected the proposal. here is a look. >> madam president, i was honored today to attend the second hearing that i've attended in the supreme court of the united states. if you stand on the floor of the senate and look east through the glass doors you can almost see the supreme court building across the street. the supreme court is many times the last stop when it comes to c human rights, civil rights, after all the work that's been done by the congress but by ther president many times is the supreme court that has the last word. in the case of plessy versus ferguson when the supreme fecou held segregation was constitutional the last word was a disappointment. in Ãbversus united states and the supreme court upheld the tournament of japanese americans during world war ii it was another disappointment. but other time

plus, the number two in the senate, dick durbin joins us. but first, bill karins has a check on the forecast. >> that was a perfect backdrop because michigan is where all the horrible weather was. 8 inches of snow. broke the all time november snowest day record. that start is continuing to push to the east coast. one of those big days where it changes. you wake up in the morning, it's warm and mild and then the temperatures goring to cra temperatures are going to crash. you will see snow around the lunch hour or so and right now it's in the capital district and northern turning in. yesterday it was horrible in the midwest and great lakes. today we'll have possible delays. not so many cancellations. the rain and snow is not a big deal but it will get windier this afternoon. how about the wind chills. it feels like negative 8 walking out the door in chicago. it's chicago so at least you're kind of used to that in the winter. but dallas has a wind chill of 10. houston at 26. that's the cold air that the sweep to the east coast. the warm tempera

yesterday senator dick durbin called for a further look into lee's senate bill 386 nobody as the quoterness for high-skilled immigrants act. when was the last while we saw a fairness for the middle class and american workers act. the bill is supported by the indian government and big tech firms like google and microsoft. today lee objected and wants to work it out with durbin behind closed doors. >> i don't believe that any further fact you'll development concerning this bill is necessary. at this point i believe a hearing can serve no purpose other than to delay speedy action on this important reform. lou: in lee's judgment he thinks the bill is so important it should pass in the dark of night with unanimous consent which would not require a vote by a single senator. durbin is trying to save his hide and the american worker perhaps by objecting and they want to work together to avoid a hearing. you know, the public. that messy bunch of voters we all represent. they want to do it in the dark of night without our witnessing what's happening and who is doing what to this country. senate

senator dick durbin who has a competing bill says lee won't take up a broader debate on an alternate proposal put forward by democrats. or on his own senate bill 386, known as the fairness for high-skilled immigrants act which passed in the house's h.r.-1044. let me say what i mean here. and i don't mean unusual. i miernt's scurrilous. it's beneath contempt and he should be ashamed. as we detailed here before. senator lee has taken in thousands of dollars from some of the top sponsors of h-1b visas and outsourcers including big tech firms, microsoft, facebook and amazon. it's more than interesting that a report released earlier this year finds that the salt lake city metro area is second only to silicon valley and the percentage of commercial leases signed by technology companies last year. lee has tried and failed four times to force his bill through the senate by the device known as unanimous consent, which does not require votes of the supporting senators of course or even the opposing senators should there be one or two. it is deeply concerning that senator lee seems to have the

. >> i'll call you back the last time government got involved with credit cards, dick durbin the netless credit availability. some people are less good credit risks than others, you can't blame goldman sachs or not wanting to give them a 20,000 dollar limit. >> if you look at obamacare, we had a lot of discussion about older people, women versus men getting base the same scores. even though their health care needs must be different. there is a mentality that you can't make any differentiations. i tell new case of wozniaks, my guess his earning history which would be certainly part of the analysis of any lending decision, is different from hers. and also their assets they look different, my guess is, you know this could turn out to be something that really has a straight forward explanation. >> i don't have research or knowledge of their money. i am just sharing the story with you. >> several others as well. david: i would like to know what is credit limit of someone with 100 million. >> my question, why is he looking at it. david: you can hear from steve wozniak himself tomorrow, var
