senator durbin: good. mr. cuccinelli, that is what we expect of the ordinary and customary relationship between the federal government and state and local law enforcement is not what happened in portland. can i just ask one last question? thatox, can you affirm will-- the dhs personnel be under the control of the department of justice and report to d.o.j. officials? ms. cox: my understanding is that operation legend, they are doj law enforcement to help reduce the violent crime and will be a partner with that effort. senator durbin: there is a genuine concern because of statements made by this present about some wide-ranging immigration enforcement as part of this. were you aware of any plans to use these dhs officials assigned to operation legend that have been assigned to operation legend for immigration enforcement? ms. cox: i'm not. that entire initiative is meant to reduce violent crime. senator durbin: started in kansas city for that very reason. did it not? ms. cox: yes. senator cruz: thank you, senator

. >> joshua, the david axelrod tweet that i asked senator dick durbin about, it's an insider conversation, but this idea that are some candidates running too aggressive a campaign for this number two slot? >> that's the thing. i'm not sure how to read the campaign. if you were asking me who was going to win the nba championship, know the rules of the game and i know how the players have done. no one knows the rules of this game. none of us knows exactly what the campaign strategy is, who the players are or what the

senator cruz: thank you, senator durbin. mr. cuccinelli: would you like me to address the federal officials? senator durbin: if the chairman will allow. mr. cuccinelli: the investigators who have extraordinary international gang experience are among the cooperating agents in operation legend including in chicago where they have made a number of arrests. but that's the engagement. it is not to perform immigration functions inso far as they gathered experience. latin kings span our national borders which brings the expertise in the picture. that is their role and we are working with our partners to help make cities safer. senator cruz: senator durbin referenced el paso and the horrific mass murder there. i was in el paso in the aftermath of that. at racist targeted hispanic-americans. i am a hispanic-american. i consoled the victims. and i would say one of the odd things, our democratic colleagues repeatedly refer to what they call right-wing and cite whilet supremacist and could certainly cite the klan. i will say what senator gr

senator durbin: i'm here, can you hear me? senator wicker: yes. senator durbin: good. thank you for giving me a few moments to introduce chris coose, mayor of normal, illinois. he's been a good friend of mine for years. those of us fortunate enough to represent smalltown america know there's an ongoing battle to save downtown in virtually every one of those communities. normal, illinois, has done this under the leadership of its mayor chris coos, who has been in that position for 17 years. the most important element of that is the fact that he centered it on the amtrak service in downtown normal. normal turns out to be the number two station in the state of illinois for amtrak passengers. over 240,000 a year. it's the home of illinois state university and illinois wesleyian university. there are lots of students moving back and forth as you can imagine. hris decided to build an intermodal facility in downtown normal as an anchor for the redevelopment of downtown. i hoped -- helped him secure a $22 million tiger grant and moved forward with a beautiful facility. he capi

i appreciate it. >> yes, sir. >>> joining me now is senator dick durbin of illinois. welcome back to "meet the press." i want to start with something peter navarro just said. he said in negotiations one side has one number, and he said there needs to be something in the middle, and when i heard that i thought, well, that sounds like potential progress. did you hear that as suddenly the white house wants to move to the middle because that doesn't seem to be what mnuchin and meadows did. >> chuck, let me just tell you, if that is the standard, we've not only accepted it, we've offered it. we were at $3.4 trillion in the bill that nancy pelosi and the house democrats passed 12 weeks ago. 12 weeks ago. and now we've come down to the range of $2 trillion. they were at a trillion. we asked them to come up to a trillion, and it does exactly what mr. navarro suggested. we are ready to meet the white house and the republicans halfway. we've said that from the start. we have priorities that may be different from theirs and in terms of the dollar amount we are at what mr. navarr

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 it was only in 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

durbin: mr. president, i ask consent the quorum call be suspended. the presiding officer: without objection the. mr. durbin: mr. president, i come to the floor again today to speak about an obscure section of immigration law which has a direct impact on the lives of literally millions of people living and working in the united states. i'm here to speak about the plight of immigrant workers who are suffering because of a serious problem in our immigration system, known as the green card backlog. many of these immigrants are essential workers helping to lead the fight against covid-19. we just heard tributes on the floor from senators on the other side to these health care heroes, but this green card backlog, which i speak to, puts them and their families at risk of losing their immigration status and being deported from the united states. under current law, there are not nearly enough immigrant visas, also known as green cards available each year. as a result, many immigrants are stuck in cripplin

joining me to discuss more, illinois senator dick durbin. second highest ranking democrat in the senate, the minority whip. you heard that story and you've heard similar stories from so many americans across the country. yet here we are and there is still no deal on more aid. why? >> well, stephanie, before i answer that, and i will, let me say that the only path to real recovery in this country is control of the spread of this virus. we absolutely have to do that. and we on the democratic side want a dramatic investment in testing so we can reach the level of testing and the quick results that other countries take for granted. now to the specific question that you asked. 85% of the billions of dollars we gave to small businesses will be spent by the end of this week. they've exhausted all of that. it's time to renew the paycheck protection program, and it's a bipartisan belief that we should. it's been bipartisan all along. the question that we're getting down to is what we give to unemployed people across this country. and you heard the la

durbin: thank you, madam president. madam president, the news this morning about the actions taken by facebook and twitter in relation to statements made by president trump is incredible. we now have a decision by these two major sources of social media to draw down and to remove statements made by the president of the united states on the issue of the national health emergency which we currently face. they believe and certainly on its face it's clear that these statements by president trump misrepresented medical fact in terms of the immunity of children to the covid-19 and the state of play in america when it comes to this pandemic. the numbers 5 and 25 tell a real story. america has roughly 5% of the world's population and, sadly, 25% of the covid infections in the world. how could how could a great and strong nation like ours have reached this point where this medical crisis has reached a point where many parts of america are facing record had breaking infection levels -- record-breaking infection levels? part of it

that specifically, senator durbin sees nothing wrong with that. your response to him?vid, first off, thanks for having me on tonight. david: thank you. >> the bottom line is that the democrats i feel are living in an alternate reality. we know that clinesmith lied, he actually forged an email to make it seem that carter page was a russian asset. he was actually an asset of the cia. he was being used to get information on the russians. and when clinesmith forged an email and presented that email to the fisa court judges he lied to the judges, presented false information and he should face the maximum penalty of five years. hopefully he will then turn on those above him and we can do what is called a bust and turn operation where you get somebody lower on the rung and you work your way up. but what the senator was saying is completely false. as far as the obama administration trying to spy on the trump organization, we know they set out to this. jim comey what i call the merry band of negative trumpers set out to help hillary clinton win the 2016 election. when they fail

i'm joined now by the democratic whip, senator dick durbin of illinois.alk about the post office in just a moment. let's start with this breaking news. your reaction to this indictment of steve bannon. >> of course, this administration has been fraught with this sort of charge of corruption, indictments and the like related to the president's campaign and his administration. we've seen it from the beginning. a reminder during the eight years of the obama administration we did not deal with this level of scandal and intrigue when it came to the white house. there's something to be said for a president who refuses to disclose his income tax returns from the beginning. it is virtually unprecedented. there is something this president does not want america to see. as those around him are being suspected, a lot of investigations, a it really comes as no surprise. >> senator, the postmaster general will testify on monday before the house and tomorrow before the senate. less than 24 hours from now actually. speaker pelosi apparently talked to him on wednesday. sh

senator tim scott has legislation that dick durbin of illinois referred to, sponsored by senator timas rejected by democrats because it is a wage issue for the election. this was an opportunity for democrats and republicans to work together for the benefit of all americans, certainly democrats didn't allow for that opportunity. the only way to solve america's issues is to sit together not as ideologues and have an ideologue fight between democrat and republican and be each other's check but listen to each other and get something done. we can't do that unless everyone is willing to work together. you talk about tim scott who has been racially profiled 12 times even in the state capital and on the left, we can't solve the issues of the day until we can sit together and that will be a continuous thing if we don't set out. >> 3 months since the killing of george floyd, where are those sitdowns? we appreciate your time. november 4th, it will happen. appreciate your time, rand paul will be on "fox and friends" later. >> let's talk about this, 700,000 without power after laura lashed the de

look, earlier today senator durbin put forward a bill to enshrine this in the u.s. constitution. it is not. elections are run by the state. i have respect for the election officials who have to do it. the post office needs resources and we need to provide resources so people can get their ballots back on time. >> john: nevada is in play as well. the rest of the states are democrat. chris, and utah. the president is making the differentiation here to say there is a difference between requesting an absentee ballot and just mailing them all out. does he have a point? >> what nevada is doing is dubious to say the least. in the middle of a pandemic and you are making a big change. those 5 states you mentioned including utah have a great track record for running all mail elections. everybody gets a ballot. they have measures in place. nevada is new to this. and i think it is highly questionable whether you want to make a big change in the middle of a paged. -- pandemic. it seems more responsible to say we will send everybody an application at home so they know that if they want to vote

he was condemned by senator durbin to be specific. the president will act not only that we have safe communities but have the tools to hold people accountable. >> john: to last night. a lot of criticism of the president holding the big acceptance speech on the south lawn of the white house. the president is not subject to the hatch act but there are questions if it was the right thing to do. to use the white house as a background. >> all of the criticism that comes out against this president is from the normal suspects. there was not a single federal dollar spent on the convention. it was paid by the political campaign, by the republican national committee. looking at a back drop and to suggest that the back drop is not appropriate because it indicates a conflict of interest, that's just not accurate. he is not the first president to accept the nomination. you know that roosevelt, a democrat, accepted it from the oval office. the vast majority of americans loved the message that the president brought last night. he spoke from his hear

that from dick durbin. gary is on the phone in kentucky.d the idea of moving quote -- 12,000 troops out of germany. caller: i do not get it. democrats want to defund police. they want to defund the military, yet they support keeping troops in germany. i do not want -- know what is going on there. president trump has his reasons with nato, and he is expressed those four years ago or three or four years ago when he was elected. buts kind of confusing, whatever trump does, you can guarantee a democrat is going to oppose it. host: u.s. to withdraw nearly 12,000 troops from germany. that will cost billions and take years. next is david from texas. caller: i am behind the removal of troops from germany or at least a reduction in reallocation. -- one of thebout things that flabbergasted me about the lies and hoaxes about trump, the russian hoax and trump, has been the idea that he is weakening nato. when you have only four countries, some of them small, in nato meeting their minimal 2% requirement for decades, it is now up to eight meeting that re

here at the university of illinois but we're working very closely with governor pritzer and senator durbing this testing capability to the state and then to the country. >> expedited results have been very problematic. they've been hard to come by for a lot of these tests. how quickly, what's the turnaround time for this test? and how do you navigate that? is there a lab right there onsite? >> yes. so, we transformed our veterinary diagnostic lab into a human covid-19 testing facility. and this allows us to get our test results back in hours, as owe mpposed to days. this is critical because safely isolating individuals quickly is the most important thing we can do to stop the spread of the disease to others. >> i guess there are a lot of people watching this, dr. burke, and saying how can we stop the disease where we are. because we want to see models that actually show some success. how easily replicated and accessed can this be used by other schools? >> we think our model can be used by others and achieve the same. and we are working very closely with partners including those i mentioned

remember, they sat down with dick durbin and cory booker and kamala harris and said we have 20 problems with the bill. his response was, "i'll give you 20 amendments. you have 20 problems, i'll give you 20 amendments. let's say goodbye to politics, at least on something as important as the criminal justice system. i'll give you an amendment for every problem you have with our bill." unfortunately, kamala harris put her vice presidential aspirations ahead of what is best for this country. don't blame tim scott. blame the people who would not take an amendment for every single problem they had with the bill. now they're trying to put it back together. i was sitting by tim scott when he got a call from karen bass. i think karen is trying to put this back together. but it's politics, it's a desire to win back in november that is the reason we don't have police reform right now. >> harris: dagen? >> dagen: a lot of these democrats are so deeply broken inside that they put their own angst an and their political aspirations against and over protecting people of this country and of their states

. >> meanwhile, senator dick durbin, democrat, downplayed the role of antifa, defending protesters and blasting the trump administration. fico instead of focusing on the real and significant violent threat of domestic terrorism motivated by white supremacy and right-wing extremism, terrorists have killed americans, the trump administration has repeatedly tried to vilify protesters and conflate social justice movements with antigovernment extremism. >> earlier this morning, the president was agreeing with senator cruz. >> senator cruz is right, and -- you know, look, this isn't being naive. this is being untruthful. these are lying people. these are untruthful people. they know it exists. antifa is a horrible group, it's a far left group, and they used to try and blame the right for all the stuff. >> harris, there was some news among the witnesses. u.s. attorney for the northern district of texas telling lawmakers the fbi has more than 300 terror investigations nationwide since george floyd's death kicked off nationwide unrest. in portland alone, that you were just talking about, where

this is -- do you have any impression besides the fact that dick durbin beginning to agree with you onost of issues, it seems, at least informally, and chuck schumer and nancy pelosi are are saying maybe they do want to talk now -- do you think they're getting the idea that they have been running here for weeks a video of an elect trump/pence 2020 campaign? because when you see everything that they're doing, trying to keep schools closed, letting violence run rampant in the cities that are so devastated by decades of democrat-run administrations in their municipalities, the payoff is pretty ugly, pretty violent, and why would anyone in the world want a democrat in the white house? >> well -- [laughter] you know, the choice in this election's never been clearer, and the stakes have never been higher. in president donald trump, you have someone who's kept more promises that he made to the american people; rebuild our military, revive the economy, fought for free and fair trade, appointed conservatives to our courts. but joe biden and the radical left and the party of chuck schumer and na

among his guests will be white house trade director pete navarro and senator dick durbin. "the beat" with ari melber starts right now. >> thank you very much. welcome to "the beat." the trump campaign is under water in the polls and under fire for new evidence of its dirty tricks. 88 days out from the election, domestic brawling, now faces new russian efforts to help trump by denigrating joe biden. that's brand new evidence that shows they would prefer. to force testimony from a veteran of trump's white house legal team. we will turn to a broader conversation. we begin with donald trump, back into the electoral corner to mislead voters. top democrat elizabeth warren, talking about hamp everything the u.s. postal service amidst internal reports that cutting costs has delayed mail delivery. that's policy. on rhetoric, trump has spread disinformation about voting by mail and his campaign getting called out for deceptive ads that manipulate images of joe biden like the photo of biden praying in a church that darkens the background to make it seem like he might have been coweri
