for me, it's having dick durbin and barack obama say, tammy duckworth, you need to run for office. i kept bugging them about the fact that veterans work getting very good health care -- were not getting very good health care. dick durbin looked at me as a wounded warrior in a wheelchair. he didn't see somebody to be pitied. he didn't see someone who no longer had abilities. he looked at me and saw potential and acknowledged that potential, said, i think you should run, but that i -- then i had to say yes. most women will say no seven times before they decide to run. if more women would actually say yes in the beginning or just motivate themselves to get out there, we would be much further along to 50% representation. it should be 51%, because there are more women than men in this country, in the halls of power, so we can change the laws of this country to reflect those values that are important to all of us. harris: i took notes while you were speaking. >> me, too. yes.s: get to that's what i got from senator tammy duckworth today. you know what i got from you? authenticity. people

. >> is dick durbin here? there you are. sen. durbin: thank you everybody. the house is moving forward as you know with two articles of impeachment against the president of the united states. the gravity of the charges and our sworn duty to uphold and defend the constitution demand that all senators put party, put country over party and examine the facts without prejudice or partisanship. is not lost on the members of the united states senate that the white house made a choice to block witnesses from testifying under oath, and a has refused to provide documents that might disprove the evidence against the president. anyone in america watching this would draw the same logical conclusion, that the president has something to hide and republican senators, too many of them, our intent in helping him hide it. -- leader lead or mcconnell after going on fox news has already made up his mind about the senate impeachment trial. it is clear that senator mcconnell wants to use the senate to help heart is a page in a cover-up. in a cover-up. today, he was asked here, i b

since being elected in 1907 senator dick durbin has introduced legislation in every session that would dramatically improve the lives of dogs in commercial kennels and would close the internet loophole. the way people sold dogs changed and has it changed it was no longer going to the individual breeder oh longer just going to the store now was online sales and they were exempt from the kind of regular inspection that would protect the puppies and their mothers so we had to make sure that our bill really filled the scale up and provided the protection for those online sales and the pups that were part of it even in the midst of the hyper partisanship of the u.s. senate on the issue of puppy mills senator durbin found willing partners on the republican side of the aisle my 1st co-sponsor was rick santorum one of the most conservative republicans from pennsylvania he was on the spot with me and then after he left the senate i had senator vitter from louisiana another very conservative senator so it turns out that when it comes to humane treatment of animals and dogs in particular this is

. >> leland: well, that was it dick durbin's point in this sound bite.a lesson from the state of the union. >> things have gone too far. how can they hold their hands up and say i swear impartial justice? as far as i'm concerned they can tell which way they are leaning, how they feel in terms of the probability. but when it comes to saying i've made up my mind, for goodness' sakes, that is not what the constitution and vision. >> leland: here's the question, doesn't matter that people can't say they are impartial now? >> it's doesn't really. those are niceties. those are what we would want, but let's say a justice of the supreme court came out and an breath and opinion about a case in advance. you can get them off the case, right? there's no mechanism for the removal of that person. you can impeach them, wouldn't that be fun. but these hundreds of people are there high election. they are going to sit in judgment, yes, it is envisioned that they would act as jurists, not as politicians. that's just the wrapping for the fruitcake, that's not the not centur

carefulnk we have to be to get a lot of credit to chuck grassley, a conservative from iowa, and dick durbina progressive from illinois, who held firm together and cap promises to each other. because of those two individuals and so many others on both sides of the aisle, we are embarking on a new day in the american justice system that is rooted in a concern for public safety and ensuring the right people are behind bars for the right amount of time. host: let's let our viewers going and. let's go to a caller from new jersey. she has experience with the criminal justice system. good morning. caller: good morning. i am interested and/or your topic, mainly because earlier in my life i taught inmates inside a prison in new jersey. i did that for close to 15 years. concern is a lot of , whichy on prison reform i have always supported, tends to be either with the inmates who were incarcerated or with a celebrity field of people who never saw, never talk to, never worked inside a prison. they do not know inmates. some of the things they are problems,will lead to releasing too many people who have

. >> dick durbin says we are not going to.nd the end the vast majority of democrats going to be unified as they were in the house? >> i would expect so in the vast majority of republicans will be unified. everyone is looking -- moderates on the democratic side might be vulnerable like manchen but on the republican side, people who are not thrilled with the president like mitt romney and susan collins won't be happy with what the president did and depending on how the trial goes if it becomes a media circus all bets are off. >> nancy pelosi has to submit articles of impeachment in the not too distant future, she has a hot potato in her hands but i don't think time is different, the longer she halted and refused to allow the senate to fulfill its constitutionally ordained role more americans will say why did we go through the exercise of impeachment of nancy pelosi will keep it to herself. mike: thanks so much. breaking tonight another anti-semitic attack in new york city. what investigators are saying? the latest when we return

. >>> dana, when you spoke with dick durbin on "state of the union," he made it clear nobody should say how they want to vote. that ship has sailed. aside from a small handful of senators, there he is a pretty good sense of where everyone stands. >> there is. that's why what elliott was talking about is so key. yeah, with senator durbin who, by the way, was there 21 years ago and a voting senator and back then this is when i started covering the hill, there were many, many more senators. the vast majority of the senators said we're impartial jurors. we're not going there. it has changed dramatically which is the point he has made. when it comes to the trial, once they are in the trial assuming senator schumer doesn't get what he wants, which is an agreement to have the witnesses before they start, it's hard to imagine that hatching. let's just assume that is the case. you are going to see really, really important votes if the democrats are able to put up a vote for bringing michael duffy to testify. that is a 51 vote threshold. it's hard to see republicans on the bubble for any tough ra

i want to play something from senator dick durbin, obviously democrats, about how he visions things goingn this trial, if it happens. >> the articles of impeachment are set over by the house, we will do what was done 20 years ago, almost 20 years ago in the clinton impeachment. where there was a meeting of the leadership on a bipartisan basis to come to a conclusion about how to move forward. >> shannon: okay, so governor, given the current environment on the hill, do you think bipartisan agreement will be possible to set some guardrails on this thing? >> i think they will try very hard to come to a bipartisan agreement. i know that 20 years ago, they actually had a closed session in the old senate chamber, with only senators without staff, ant that was bipartisan, that was frustrating to the house managers, as we tried to present the case, but i think they will try to do something similar this time. i hope that they do. but whenever you have two sides that are diametrically opposed, compromises have to be made to reach that agreement. one final question is, how long is this trial going t

. >> on the sunday news programs, senator ron johnson and dick durbin talked about the impeachment ofnt trump and gave a preview of the senate trial. >> you said earlier this month that you think the consensus in the senate would be that when the house -- let the house make its case, the white house make its case, then put forward a motion to vote without witnesses. is that what you see happening? >> i think so. that is general discussion within the conference. the case is pretty thin that the house is sending over, if they ever send it to us. gruel from my standpoint. both
