hassan: thank you. mr. president, i rise today to join my colleagues in opposing the nomination of betsy devos to serve as the secretary of education. our nation recognized early in its history that public education is a necessary foundation for our democracy. it is critical that we continue to support a strong public education system that prepares all of our young people to participate in our democracy and compete in the 21st century work force. all public officials, regardless of their party affiliation should share a reverence for the importance of public education to our country's success, both now and into the future. and they must show a commitment to enforcing our laws so that all students have the opportunity to succeed. i agree with my colleagues that mrs. devos has not shown a commitment to or an understanding of these principles, and that's why i oppose her nomination. this nomination process has been extremely disappointing from the start. mrs. devos failed to provide critical information on her

when asked by my colleague, maaing gi hassan -- maggie hassan about this piece of legislation, the nominee showed a complete lack of knowledge about how it is implemented, and that is simply unacceptable. we cannot go back to a time when we wrote off a whole population of people and it cannot only be the parents of those children, but all of us as the adults of a society and a country that look out for our most vulnerable children. then let's talk about for-profit colleges, which i know something about since i had to sue one of the biggest for-profit colleges which was defrauding students as well as taxpayers. i know about the reality of abuses of for-profit colleges and i applaud my colleague elizabeth warren who asked whether or how she would protect against waste, fraud and abuse at for-profit colleges. this, she asked of the nominee. and it was troubling to see that the nominee was equivocal, at best. now let's talk about the nominee's record as it relates to the children of her home state, michigan. since the growth of charter schools, michigan has gone from performing hire than avera

parades have lined the streets, and right now president hassan rouhani is making a speech to the nation pleitgen joins us from iran's capital with more on. this fred, i guess with president rouhani making a speech right now, we can expect some pretty fiery anti-u.s. rhetoric given the state of relations between these two countries. >> i think that's absolutely true. that's absolutely what we have seen here, john. the revolutionary day always draws big crowds like you're seeing here behind me right now. but it feels like this year the crowds are even bigger than usual. of course one of the reasons for that is the new administration of donald trump. there is a lot of anger with that new administration. iran's supreme leader hassan rouhani, khamenei has come out and said this will be the day that iranians give donald trump his answer. this is what we're seeing here. we're seeing a lot of anti-trump poster, a lot of anti-trump rhetoric. we've spoken to a lot of people who say they're very angry at the trump administration. but the one thing you always hear is they talk about their resilienc

president, senator hassan has a son who has cerebral palsy. she told me a moving story about the good education he received in the new hampshire public schools, despite his disability , because of the individuals with disabilities education act or the idea. senator hassan asked if ms. devos would require schools using vouchers to comply with that law. ms. devos initially responded that she believes the decision should be left to the states. when ms. devos was informed that it's federal law, that it's not up to the states, she responded she must have been -- quote -- "confused." confused? ms. devos bragged she's been an education advocate for 30 years. the idea was passed over 25 years ago, in 1990. ms. devos was not confused. she plainly did not know what the individuals with disabilities education act is. it's very disturbing that she appears not to know how public schools educate and accommodate kids with special needs. does she not know what an individual education plan is? she didn't know, as she said in a hearing to be secretary of educat

this is going to significantly complicate matters for hassan ruani who faces reelection in may. he came in on a platform of sorting out the new nuclear deal, de-escalating tensions with the world and propping up the economy. if he can't deliver on that, it could pave the way for a hardliner to come into power with iran, which would definitely spike tensions with iran and america. since the trump administration has come into power and since he's appointed all of these key security positions, there is a major sense of foreboding here in iran. they don't know what to expect. they didn't think relations with the united states would go south so quickly but we have to see how this is all going to pan out going forward. but it certainly, as one analyst said to me, the obama honeymoon is well and truly over. >> thanks so much. and joining me live now, democratic senator richard blumenthal of connecticut, a member of the senate armed services committee as well as the judiciary committee that will hold confirmation hearings for judge neil gorsuch. it's an understatement when ali arouzi sa

bentley, said he is going to with hold money from the county home to birmingham, alabama, which also hassanhew wear policies. the state of idaho all considering legislation that would strip state funding from cities that have sanctuary policies. all comes after president trump's executive order attempting to bar federal funds from these communities. it turns out though, according to a report from standard and poor's that the president may have less authority than he thinks there. the report from standard and poor's points out that the executive branch really has little authority to stop funds to communities that have already been appropriated. also, the report points out, and i quote from s&p now, that courts have ruled that the threat of with holding funding may not be used to coerce states. so the federal government may have a problem in holding money back, but it now appears that state governments might get involved in on the act and that could have the same impact of stripping these communities from definitely need to operate. >> sandra: i know the people in the city of chicago have som

hassan: mr. president, i rise today to join my colleagues in opposing the nomination of senator jeff sessions to be attorney general of the united states. now more than ever, it is critical to have an attorney general who is an independent defender of our constitution, who puts the rule of law before all else. who is committed to ensuring that all americans have equal access to justice. unfortunately, mr. president, i do not believe that senator sessions is fully committed to enacting those principles. and every american should be concerned that he will not independently stand up to president trump. senator sessions was one of trump's earliest supporters and has been a key source of influence for the president's actions. white house strategist steven bannon recently wrote to "the washington post," and i quote -- throughout the campaign, sessions has been the fiercest, most dedicated and most loyal supporter in congress of trump's agenda and has played a critical role for the clearinghouse for pol

she told senator kaine and senator hassan that it would be okay for states to ignore that law or protection. that's not the case. every state has to observe the individuals with disabilities law as it relates to students. and just this week, we had a nominee withdraw after a drip, drip, drip of allegations regarding his personal conduct and his business practices made it pretty clear that somebody whose restaurants are -- half the time -- in violation of federal labor laws, somebody who employed an undocumented worker shouldn't be the chief director of workers as the secretary of the department of labor. it just doesn't seem that a lot of thought has been put into some of these selections, and so we are taking our time. we are using our prerogative as members of the minority party to make sure that there is a full, complete debate on all of these nominees. to make sure at the very least the american public knows what they are getting. our worry is not just that these nominees are often, woefully -- often woefully unprepared for the job. it's that many of them appear to be fatally compromise
