durbin: any questions? reporter: what's the biggest hurdle we're facing in passing this legislation? r. durbin: the biggest hurdle? mr. schumer: big bills are hard to explain. if you're in the house it's easier to vote no because immigration reform is not a popular topic in a republican primary. here's what i think. i think president trump -- mr. graham: i think president trump is right to focus on criminal aliens, he's right to focus on border protection, he's right to say these kids are good kids. here's what changed. you have a president who if he said tomorrow the border was secured, most people would believe him on my side. i could put alligators on the border and i'm not getting there. in 2008 or whenever the gang of eight bill was, we literally militarized the border but i don't have the power he does. to tell the republican base that we have achieved border security. what has changed? you have a president who could in a snap of his fingers get the republican party united more than bush could. persua

senator durbin? >> thanks, mr. chairman. mr. dougherty if you're going to check on student visas, is it not a requirement of the students on visa to notify our government if they change address? >> sir, my understanding is under the process, it's the requirement of the school that you're attending, that there's a officer who is responsible for notifying dhs that you're still in status. >> i'm asking about change of address, change of residence or change of address? >> i apologize, sir, i don't know the answer. >> i think it may be a requirement. when i think back on all the flop house apartments i stayed in and moved in and out of, there could be a technical violation. of a real student and i guess that's a concern i have going in. >> i understand, sir and i think that's one of the things that as i said earlier, all these systems need to be pragmatic, they need to reflect reality. students move around, students are young when you think about overstays, they may not take the thing as seriously as other people might. you want a sy

. >> senator durbin. sen. durbin: are you familiar with mikael friedman? mr. browder: i am. dubin:ngling - sen. what do you know about him? mr. browder: he is one of the original 22 oligarchs who became rich in russia by banking, oil, telecom, telecommunications and other businesses. sen. durbin: you say in 2003 when vladimir putin had a trial, it was a thinly veiled message to the oligarchs to "play with me or go sit in a cage." in 2003, vladimir putin is reported to have flown to london to either celebrate or note the merger of mikhail fridman's oil company with british petroleum. are you familiar with that? mr. browder: very much so. sen. durbin: he is involved in so many different business dealings. i try to do research, and it is voluminous. all the different things he is doing in so many places, many in russia, others outside of russia. what would you say about the suspicion there was some communication between alpha bank and the trump campaign, which was reported and has been debated back and forth as to whether it was true? mr. browder: i only know about that from wh

durbin: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from illinois. mr. durbin: mr. president, i rise in opposition to the nomination of john bush, nominated to serve a lifetime appointment on the sixth circuit court of appeals. the federal court of appeals has significant impact on the lives of many americans. because the supreme court only reviews a limited number of cases each year, decisions by the circuit courts represent the final word on thousands of legal matters that involve a host of important issues. the senate has to take very seriously its obligation to consider candidates for this important court. we have to make sure they have the qualifications, the temperament, and the judgment to serve for the rest of their lives. based on mr. bush's record and his testimony before the judiciary committee, i believe he falls short of this standard. over the course of his legal career, mr. bush has made dozens of provocative comments, casting serious doubt on his temperament, his judgment, his impartiality, and his ability to serve as a fair and impartial judge. cons

here is dick durbin comparing putin to mr. trump. watch. >> what's the most positive thing you have to say about vladimir putin and the most negative? >> the most positive thing is that he is gifted and has knowledge of history, our president is not. he certainly knows how to meet with foreign leaders and to push his agenda, our president has limited experience in that period and terms of his weakness, he also suffers from a form of mental mania. >> kennedy: good lord! >> melissa: please. i don't know what to make of that. >> gillian: whenever any analyst starts talking about the psychology that goes behind world leaders meeting, it's a little bit silly. you can talk policy, you can talk objectives. >> melissa: they are both megalomaniacs. >> gillian: that's what i was saying earlier. the argument doesn't apply with me that someone is more manly, and he'll stand up to putin. >> meghan: feel free to extrapolate on that. >> kennedy: is a completely different dynamic. president obama's foreign policy had no teeth. i don't know if there

. >> thank you, senator durbin. i would have to acknowledge your longstanding efforts in this regard, even though you and i have differences on what's attainable and what's not, i've come to the conclusion that a comprehensive immigration reform bill is not possible and i know that is disappointing to you and some others. unfortunately, we've had -- our philosophy has been we everything or we want nothing and we end up getting nothing, in my view. so, i'm happy to try to work with you where we can to try to address some of the issues you've addressed. while there are other topics we could talk about in the subcommittee i think it is certainly worthwhile. -- he'd asked his full statement be included in the record and it will done so without objection. if i can ask the witnesses to stand, please, and i'll administer the oath. raise your right hand. do you affirm the testimony you are about to give before the committee will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you god? thank you. please have

senator durbin. senator durbin: you know for the last several months with the republicans majority in the the senate and the house we have , really seen the national debate on health care. i think it was long overdue. the net result of that today more americans support the affordable care act than in the beginning of the debate. as people reflected on what we set out to achieve with the affordable care at a they realized how fundamentally positive it was for them and their families. to get rid of pre-existing conditions and to make sure that everybody had access to quality insurance to provide medicaid for those people who have low income jobs and no benefits. for the first time in their lives they now have medical insurance coverage to provide a subsidy, a helping hand to middle income families to pay for their insurance premiums. all these things were taken for granted. now i think people appreciate those fundamental values and principles really are important for the future of our health care syste

with me now as promised senator dick durbin. are you concerned the president is acting this way toward the attorney general because of russia? >> of course. let's analyze this. what the president is doing is brutal. how would you like to be working for man who is trying to hounds you publicly into resigning? what kind of loyalty does that inspire? it's unprofessional. i agree with lindsey graham. for a president to be directing his attorney general to initiate a prosecution is unheard of and to do it publicly is just unthinkab unthinkable. the real reason behind it as one of your guests noted it's about trying to dissemble to bob mueller investigation. it's very obvious what he's trying to do. the scenarios are unfolding. get himself new attorney general. take over the special investigation himself. take mueller out of business. take the heat off the white house. >> if that's the goal, senator, and he does remove the attorney general after you go out on a full recess, he might be able to appoint him during the recess. do you wan

has it become the graham cassidy durbin bill. >> as you mentioned, durbin spoke to that and without givingonfidential conversation, obviously it still was cassidy collins or it's now graham cassidy, unfortunately not senator durbin. >> do you think if senator mcconnell took reconciliation off the table and allowed it to be, you know, force the 60 vote, do you think you would have more democrats that would be willing to work with you? >> that political article that was written a couple weeks ago in which it basically quotes chuck schumer saying that he was going to keep everybody in line, debbie stab now saying every time i wanted to do the right thing, i was told don't do scenario, someone else saying i couldn't speak with republicans unless given perms. again, i'm frustrated by that. this should be an american solution, not a democrat or republican. i've done my best. i'm still going to do my best. >> where are you on this bill if your amendment doesn't pass? >> i have started reading the bill. i'm on page like 8 because i'm flipping back through the obamacare bill. i'll know hopefully bi

joining me now is senator dick durbin of illinois. what's happening here? what can you decipher? you stay away from what you just aerd from your four colleagues on the other side of the aisle? >> you can which, it's been over six years since the republicans told us they were going to repeal obamacare and replace it. and now it's been seven months that we've been in session here. and listen to how republican senators describe the work product we're being asked to vote on tonight. i respect the senators who came before the press calling it a fraud, a disaster. it will make this situation worse, and it won't solve the problems that face our healthcare system and obamacare today. what i heard them say was they are demanding a conference committee. they want it to be bipartisan and they want buy in from the governors across america who are going to have to implement the final work product. that tells you that we need to roll up our sleeves, follow john mccain's advice and have a bipartisan effort to finally write a good bill that is deserving for the american people. >> look, there's

we heard it earlier from senator dick durbin and the leadership in the senate that that is a sign that mitch mcconnell has enough to move forward on health care legislation. hearing?hat are you senator collins is a definite no. rand paul and more conservative senators are possible yeses. >> they are getting closer to the magic number they need, 50 votes. rand paul has been one of the most opposed. vonnie: i have to interrupt you just a moment. mitch mcconnell is on the senate speaking. >> we will vote on a critical first step to finally move beyond its failures. many of us have made commitments to our constituents to provide relief from this failed, left wing experiment. now we have a real opportunity to keep those commitments by voting to begin debate and ultimately to send smarter health care solutions to the president's desk for his signature. just yesterday, the present reiterated his intention to sign them. just yesterday the administration urged all senators to vote in favor of the motion to proceed so we can move forward on repealing obamacare and replacing it with true reforms
