grassley, senators lindsey graham, john cornyn and thom tillis. joining us is a congressional report eliza collins. do you think this demand will get any traction? >> i think the demand is the highest level in congress that has come so far. up until now, we have seen a lot of house members calling for this. these tend to be sort of the more pro trump, further right house members, with this group of four senators, you are getting john cornyn as the number two republican, chuck grassley is chairman of judiciary, you are getting some of the top republicans, that being said, there is already an investigation going on over how they handled the investigation. so we're not quite sure if they will appoint a special counsel to do another investigation. not quite clear right now what is going to happen, but it is noteworthy because these four are the highest so far in the republican party. eric: should they wait do you think for the horowitz ig report to potentially come out, let's say? we are told we are going to see that. >> that sounds like that is

. >> texas senator john cornyn .alked about his bill the measure is cosponsored by senator chris murphy of connecticut. madam president, on another note, i want to emphasize another point and talk about a new milestone reached. we have reached 64 federal cosponsors for a bill i produced with senator murphy called the fix nics which is a background sponsoredrm bill we together. it is pretty recent -- remarkable that in an institute ,ike this at polarized times you have republicans and democrats coming together saying yes, we have a problem and yes, to fix to work together it. this is the kind of legislation the nation has been waiting for as people continue to be frustrated and depressed about random acts of violence that have broken out in our cities and schools. shootings like the one that occurred in texas outside of san andnio, and then las vegas, in florida. we are saying the status quo is not acceptable. to hear the democratic leader, senator schumer, say there are other things he and his colleagues would like to do. but i would quote some ancient wisdom that the journey of 1000 mi

you know, john cornyn as a bill with the same problem. take gun rights away from veterans, then do the due process later. the second amendment is later, but due process is foundational to our country. >> when the president said, police should take guns away from people without due process, he was talking about the mentally ill, obviously. you did slam it on twitter. you said he said police should take guns away from police. is anyone okay with this because i'm sure as hell not. >> look, you are not afraid to take him on. that was pretty direct. you didn't mince your words. doesn't sound like you have confidence in what he's saying. now the nra says the opposite. do you have confidence you know what he believes in? >> well, you know, the president won my congressional district by 40 points, but if he's wrong, i'm going to call him out on it. obama was wrong, too. people's rights to own a gun are taken away without judicial process. john cornyn's bill called fix nics. due process, you have a day in court. you can't have your rights segregat

senators chris murphy and john cornyn talk about the policy and discuss trying to make changes to the national background check system. i hope we rise to the moment before us and get something done to try to make the country safer over the course of the next week or two. i will be glad to go and join the president in a few hours to hear more about this thought on how we can put the safety of our kids ahead of any political considerations to make sure parkland is the last. in newtown connecticut that place has been fundamentally changed when you lose that many young lives in a short period of time there is no true recovery and unfortunately they will find that as charleston did in orlando and so many before them. we need to remember while the country can pay attention to the epidemic of gun violence and when there is a mass shooting this is an epidemic that does not take a day off. yesterday likely b to 90 people died from gunshot wound is. that is an epidemic in and of itself. another chunk of them were homicide i. it is 20 times higher than the average. you are more likely to die fro

john cornyn did not sound excited about it.now, even though we have seen the polls as high as 97% support for universal background checks, the reality the nra came out strongly against that billiards ago and you don't know viewed and get a certain kind of racing. >> all of this online at c-span.org. the house is gaveling back in for votes on bills they debated earlier. ofhe lesor filingnder the re. thclerk: rert to accompany usresoluti, resoluon oving foconsideration of the .r. 1119 to aplish the ronmenl prottion en s ee rtain sionsnocations for estg electric uy pridg fo cer thbl h.7,allow for judicial rw

john cornyn everybody, now, they didn't put his name up, but that's okay.s the first time that's ever happened. >> seth: do you mean that's the first time that's never happened? [ laughter ] you just said his name. do you not remember. you looked right at him. [ laughter ] makes sense trump has the memory of a goldfish since he also has the mouth of one. [ cheers and applause ] this is starting to feel like the last season of a long-running tv show where the writers decide to have the main character fall off a horse, and get amnesia. hi, i'm donald. hi donald, i'm john. who's donald? [ laughter ] trump, of course, was there to crow about his state of the union address, and bask in the adoration of his fellow republicans. trump even suggested that after a slow first few months in office he's gone above, and beyond what he promised voters on the campaign trail. >> i was there four months, you know this paul, and they were saying he didn't fulfill a promise, but now we fulfilled far more promises than we promised. [ laughter ] and they're having a hard time wi

by john cornyn, the number two republican in the senate. there is the sutherland springs baptist church shooting last year and that's what inspired this, it expands background checks and essentially tells agencies, state and federal to report -- follow the law. the report -- report cases of criminality and mental health illness to net disaster -- to the fbi database. that was a loophole that allowed the sutherland springs guy to purchase his firearm. host: why attach it to the omnibus? does it not have enough support to stand on its own? guest 1: it's always tough to get these kind of bills passed. the bill itself is modest. it just requires federal agencies and states to be sure they are complying with existing background checks -- the existing background check system. it's not the expanded background check. it's a very modest bill and it passed the house, but it did have this extra provision which is an expansion of gun rights. it allows folks to have -- who have concealed carry permits -- states would have to honor those across state lin

. >> now, some of the senate debate on gun policy including john cornyn, ten carried program pool. it begins with ben cardin. this is one hour. >> on friday visited bob a chi school in columbia. it's located in maryland between washington and baltimore. i wanted to talk about the tragic valentine's day shooting in florida. it left 17 students and faculty members dead. the deadliest high school shooting in american history. i went there because one of their own teachers was shot to death in september 2017 and her former boyfriend is a trial for her murder. i was impressed by the passion of the students. they had interest in the subject matter they were articulate and ask great questions. i found it extremely encouraging for maryland in this nation. for rightfully concern for their safety. this was two weeks since the young man invaded the high school. the reaction seems like clockwork after the shooting. bipartisan shock, anger, and more. then the question comes out, will this time be different. the answer for the republican leaders has been no as the average falls back to nra talki

that was the word by john cornyn who sat in the meeting in the white house more than an hour long. frankly, it is the best word to describe what everyone was thinking after they walked out of the meeting. a meeting in which the republican president, president backed by the nra throughout the campaign. saying how much he loves the nra and the republican viewpoints when it comes to guns. sided with democrats on the policy issues than the republicans around the table. it raised questions as to where he actually stands on the gun deba debate. you talk to democrats and they were pleased where the president ended up during that meeting. they don't also have a lot of confidence. you hear is it tuesday trump or thursday trump? that is referring to immigration. the president had a wide ranging meeting where he was agreeable to everybody on tuesday when it came to immigration. 48 hours later, he retracted just about everything he said. daca still hasn't moved on capitol hill. democrats skeptical this may be the same thing. where are republicans on this issue? furious. i can say that after ta

next senators chris murphy and john cornyn talk about gun policy and discussed trying to make changes to the national background check system. >> colleagues, i hope we rise to the moment before us and get something done to try to make this country safer over the course of the next week or two. i'm going to be glad to go and join the president in a few hours to hear more about his thoughts on how we can put the safety of our kids ahead of any political considerations, try to figure out how to make sure that parkland is the last. as i told some of the kids will come into my office from parkland, the ripples of grief will never ever in their in newtown connecticut that place has been fundamentally changed when you lose that many young life in a short period of time. there is no true recovery and, unfortunately, parkland will find that as charleston did, as orlando did, so many before them. but we need remember that while the country tends to pay attention to the epidemic of gun violence, when there is a mass shooting, this is an epidemic that doesn't take a day off. yesterday, likely, ,

john cornyn talks about government to/in. that will be followed by a look at the student rally at the capitol. at a directive fund school safety under president obama should be removed. hosted by the heritage foundation, this is about one hour. >> thank you to everyone for being here today to discuss this important issue. in 2014, the obama department of education issued a colleague letter notifying schools that differences in ascension rates would because for a federal investigation. overhaul their discipline policies, that throne alone catalyzed many schools across the country.

john cornyn of texas said he was not comfortable with that comment. >> no. i'm not.usly the president feels strongly about the mental health factor in many of these mass shootings. i think that's an appropriate focus. but i do think it's important to maintain our due process, protections for citizens against arbitrary government action. >> florida senator marco rubio spoke at length on the senate floor floating ideas about how to improve our schools and make them safer and gun control. he floated gun violence restraining orders. >> something that will give law enforcement and close family members the option of obtaining a court order to prevent gun sales or remove guns from individuals that pose a threat. to be clear, the due process in such a situation would be on the front end, not on the back end. >> due process on the front end. that comment hit a nerve with lawmakers. >> shepard: that get together was during this hour yesterday. when the president said these things, the republicans were looking at him shell shocked. dianne feinstein was giggling with glee. >> an

now senate debate on gun policy including senators john cornyn, tim kain. this is an hour. >> mr. president, on friday i visited league high school in colombia which is located in howard county, maryland which is washington and c baltimore. ica wanted to talk to students about the tragic valentine's day shooting at marjoi stoneman douglas who left 17 faculty members. this is the deadliest high school shooting in american history. i went to wild lick because one of their own teacher laura was shot to dead in september 2017 and former7, boyfriend is now in trial for her murder. int was impressed by passion ate of students and great deal of interest in subject matter and articulate and asked great questions. students are rightfully concerned about safety and safety of classmates. it's been two weeks since a disturbed young man invaded marjori stoneman douglas high school, the reactions seemed to bek like clock work after each shooting, there's bipartisan shock, anger, horror, particularly the question comes out, will this time be different, the answer for the republican leaders shift

john cornyn did not sound excited about it.now, even though we have seen the polls as high as 97% support for universal background checks, the reality the nra came out strongly against that billiards ago and you don't know viewed and get a certain kind of racing. a lot of senate democrats my not necessarily want to have a huge number of gun votes as well, likes like jon tester he anchin but he is not in love with the idea of the 21 year age limit the present trump been talking about. this is uncomfortable territory for a lot of his moderate democrats who won in states where trump did well. also rural states where people have guns and it's a gun culture does not same as new jersey. a lot of the proposals discussed by republicans go beyond the closing of loopholes for background checks. it three and the limited by certain kind of guns and what their approval of rick scott is. you can prohibit people from buying weapons of they have a history of domestic violence. they have long-term appeal down the road. have one of the issues we

john cornyn, to your point, is republican orthodoxy 101. he's from texas.nd amendment supporter. and you have the president of the united states being like we can do comprehensive. i mean, it's just like the immigration one. now, if you are a gun rights supporter, you should take comfort that it looked like the immigration meeting. two days after the immigration meeting where he said we will do comprehensive immigration reform, he vetoed all of it. >> i think this is president trump at his best. >> you said that during the last meeting. >> and i feel this way. he throws it out. he breaks the mold. he is unpredictable. it gets people back on their heels. it starts with his negotiation. he starts in a more, dream position and gets people all riled up and confused. then you don't know what he is going to do next, but he generally backs off. >> this is the best reality show out of the west wing. there is a sieve you can value to this. let's open the doors. let's put the cameras in real-time. let's hear all of these great statesmen articulate. there is a real vi

that's interesting stuff given that for example, john cornyn, according to your reporting had no ideaeah, that's right. tom was the first republican out of the gate with any kind of statement on this, praising pompeo and haspel, almost probably within the half hour of the news break. his name was floated for a long time of being a good fit. he has military background, a very close ally of the president on issues up here. he may have had a confirmation problem up here, not because of his positions necessarily but because of the math. most of please people are going to have to get 50 votes. runs have a 51 majority vote right now and john mccain has not been up here casting votes. i'm sure tom could not have voted for himself for con frj. that means they'll need democratic support in a rearview charged position. with a senator who does not have a very good will built up. there was potential political road block for them. he also was in a safe seat from arkansas. he could be the senator from arkansas about so long he want to be, halle. >> garrett you've also talked with orr lawmakers ther

john cornyn's face tells it all. he looks like this half the time.ike that -- did i hear that right? that's just the reality, and that's what trump -- the great opportunity trump represented in some ways. the break with the ways in which things used to be. >> in words, but not necessarily in policies. >> the difference is -- >> but wait a minute, don, he says he wants to deal with bump stucks, he says he wants to deal with bump stocks, he's going to write some executive order to deal with bump stocks. he wants them to deal with everything else. i'm not taking up for him, he says he wants to deal with the issue of bump stocks, the rest of it, the congressional leaders can handle. he doesn't understand a lot of the legislation, but he wants some action. we'll see if that happens. >> i'm going to get bumped out of here, if you guys don't hold your horses. >>> how does the administration get anything done? is their agenda on the line? we're going to ask mark mckinnon after this. stay with me, mr. parker. when a critical patient is far from the hospital,

yes, you mentioned john cornyn and paul ryan put out a paper statement.ngest language is from those leaving. i'm curious what the political cost might be? >> there's no question. there has been a proposal going back to last summer to pass legislation protecting the special counsel, making it difficult for the president to fire him. that proposal gained essentially no traction. it was introduced at a moment when the president was privately calling republican senators, telling them you have to shut down the senate intelligence committee investigation, privately calling them, giving them every reason to think it was important to protect the special counsel. it's not a place they've been willing to go so far and comes down to not wanting to antagonize this guy. they don't know how the president will respond. >> michael, when we look if something were to pass and alex makes the point the president has to sign it, even if it were to pass, who does it benefit beyond robert mueller in this case? is it really a win or is this simply that democrats can say, hey, lo

now, today, senators chuck grassley, lindsey graham, john cornyn and thom tillis, they are now demandingt a second special counsel be appointed to investigate rampant fisa abuses, fbi bias, and the clinton email investigation and so much more. now, this needs to happen immediately and tonight all indications are this will, in fact, happen as now evidence is building that crimes have been committed. also brand new tonight, disgraced deputy fbi director andrew mccabe begging earlier today to keep his big fat government pension all while the pension may be the least of his worries. as there is talk tonight of possible criminal charges against the former deputy fbi director mccabe. this is beyond significant. for mccabe to lose his retirement means that he did something very wrong. and sources are telling us that, in fact, mccabe could end up facing charges. sara carter is here with all the explosive details coming up. and also breaking tonight, the destroy trump media has a new method for spreading their fake news. they just recycle old stories to try to damage the trump administration. we

listen to john cornyn from last night. >> we are actively soliciting the support for our bill. there are several republican senators who voted against it in 2013 who have told me they are reconsidering. so i'm hopeful about that. i think the president is very aggressive. >> i wouldn't confuse with what he said with what can actually pass. >> what did you do next? >> i think everybody is trying to absorb what they just heard. >> that was pat toomey and an echo of skrjohn cornyn there. but i'm told that the white house fielded some pretty irritated calls from members of congress on the republican side who are going what just happened. >> reporter: i can't imagine why. no, look, this is the president scrambled this gun debate. and quite frankly, he is not where they are used to being. they are used to tracking very closely what the national rifle association is willing to assume support or not support and never been reluctant to cross them. and the president clearly made a decision yesterday that he was going to at least present himself in opposition to a congress that he accused

texas senator, john cornyn, reacting to this news. >> well, somebody said that mr.wondering where the united states is having problems. and wonders how can i make it worse. and we know they have meddled in our election. we know it didn't change any votes, necessarily. but that this sort of thing needs to be responded to, needs to be punished. and then you see what happened in the united kingdom. and i was glad to see nikki haley, our ambassador to the united nations, take such a strong stand together with our allies in the united kingdom against that sort of activity. but they're just -- they're out of control. russia is. and they are -- that needs to be dealt with, one way or the other. and this is one way for us to discourage that. >> are we going to see -- >> and that was senator john cornyn. so big day today of breaking news. we are going to continue to follow this. we'll come back, we'll have more as we get it from that briefing from officials about these new sanctions against russia and russian individuals. and after all of this, we said the conflict heating u

. >> dick durbin of illinois and john cornyn from texas gave separate speeches on gun policy and legislation. this is about 30 minutes. most people cannot remember what happened in the first grade. i have vague memories of being a first grader. there are certain things that even at that young stage in your life that will be remembered. but -- my sexual granddaughter who attends first grade in brooklyn, new york, a few weeks ago was told by a teacher what to do with a gunman came into the first right of her classroom. toldttle granddaughter was don't stand by the windows, you could get shot. get down on the floor. is there any sane person in america who believes that's what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the second amendment to the bill of rights? that we would have reshaped one in america when the prospects of gun violence in the first grade classrooms all the way through collegehigh school and with account in reality -- a reality in america? in myt imagine anyone wildest dreams would have imagined that possibility. today is march 14, on february the 14th a gunmen went into

john cornyn had a fix. but this makes gun sense, it makes common sense.t keeps it out of the hands of the wrong people. when the terrorists go on website, if you want to do marm in america go down to the gun show, buy what you want. that's all we're saying that you have to respect the law abiding gun owner they're not going to sell the gun to straikers or criminals or terrorist. they're going to do the right thing. but when you don't know 'em and transaction is commercial you should make sure you have a background check that's all we've said. i think we can with a president, he can -- president trump coming forth something like this putting his support will give republicans enough cover to support this and most reasonable, responsible way. >> brennan: you don't have the -- >> no, we had a great meeting on wednesday i know the nra said they had a great meeting on thursday f. we both had great meetings, can't we come to get a good great result from those meetings? and do something that's supporting and protecting our children and we have school, we have to

. >> i want to quickly ask you about guns, john cornyn has a bill strength authentic the background check system is it correct you have put a hold on this? >> i think there are some of us talking about due process issues in the bill and legislation, i have talk to senator cornyn and i hope senator cornyn will realize we need to work this due process matter out. there is not an issue of whether you like this or not, it is a question of constitutional rights and protecting the people -- >> brennan: so you are blocking the bill for now? >> and making sure we are protecting people from harm and making sure we get this right and if there is a constitutional issue at stake, then that should be worked out. >> brennan: but to clarify from your answer there, are you blocking this bill from the floor? >> this bill can come to the floor and we will continue to work through an amendment process and i hope we can fix those amendments. >> brennan: after you fix this bill you will allow it to go to the floor but not before this? >> well, i think if we can have an amendment process that works, to fix due

deputy attorney general rod rosenstein chuck grassley along with lindsey graham, tom tillis and john cornynights, quote, we believe a special counsel is needed to work with the inspector general to gather the facts and make prosecutorial decisions if they are merited. the justice department cannot credibly investigate itself without enhanced measures of independence. they have confidence in the inspector general but he lacks the tools and authority of a grand jury, interviewing witnesses outside the justice department. this as a top democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff signals he may be losing confidence in special counsel mueller. >> we can't simply rely on bob mueller. his job is different from ours, his job is to determine who broke the law. >> we're going to go back to miami with an update on the bridge collapse. >> we have been working the entire night, we had our last operational brief 11:45 last night, decided to continue working throughout the night. we have engineers on scene, in tsb arrived last night to join the efforts was a representative from the fbi also

kennedy: senator john cornyn called the meeting surreal. he said it was fascinating television and surreal to actually be there. i think these open meetings are great. they are entertaining. but they can be dangerous for the president. who is ever sitting closest to them has his ear and it seems they canbend him to their will. >> i don't read it that way. i think the president makes decisions and comes to opinions that is typical of many americans. they have an idea, they say it, then they hear reactions to it. that's not the way i do my ideas. i sit in a dark room and where it out then it in an o hd in an op-ed in the newspaper. the president isn't doing this in private conversations. he's doing it on television and people are not used to that. i understand that. i am not sure you can derive from that conversation what his final plotion be. but i -- final position will be. but i think there is something very appealing to the people to see a president behave that way. i. i think it's part of trump's appeal it's risky, but it's certainly his

john cornyn has said that trade wars may be necessary sometimes but they're hard to end and could have unintended consequences. he said quote, i am sympathetic to the concerns of the president has been america has entered into trading relationships that have been disadvantageous to our country and our country's workers. he says that we start by raising tariffs on aluminum and steel it would be easy for trading partners to retaliate against our agricultural sector. details will be released next week. it's possible that certain countries could be exempted. another president wanted 25% tariff on steel and 10% on aluminum. he contends that the u.s. needs to do this to counter china and other countries overproducing metals and dumping cheaper steel and aluminum on the u.s. if other nations retaliate and slap tariffs the president trump says, trade wars are good and easy to win. the president tweeted that the united states has an 800 billion-dollar trade deficit because of our very stupid trade deals and policies. our jobs and wealth are being given to other countries and have been taken adv
