we welcome john garamendi of the senate armed services committee. our capacity on this committee, what do you know about what happened and whether it was affected -- effective? rep: garamendi: nothing. we have not had a briefing about the attack. today,back to work although i am not aware of a hearing taking place on this and everything probably tomorrow about what happened. all of the details about the military attack. the lead up and a hearing we had about 16 hours before the attack, in which there was no indication from the secretary of defense, or the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff that an attack was imminent. less than one day beyond the moment before at the armed services committee hearing. , is therethis unusual a small amount of information flowing from the white house, given the military attack in the middle east? rep: garamendi: it is not unusual, probably the way it has to be, you do not want to tell everybody what you're going to do. president trump has made quite a deal out of what he said president obama was telegraphing his punc

john garamendi: of course it worries me. stephen: congressman john garamendi represents california's third district, which includes parts of the east bay. john: they know there's a problem. where's the money? show me the money. stephen: he also served as deputy secretary of the interior in bill clinton's administration. john: these are known problems. these are infrastructure investments. stephen: we dug through the inspection records for all seven dams. and while each said that the dam was satisfactory for continued use, we also found safety concerns similar to those noted in oroville's inspection records before the spillway failed. cracks and voids in the spillway at cedar springs dam in san bernardino county. in plumas county, cracks in the spillway at frenchman dam, and deterioration or settling of the dam itself at grizzly valley. in los angeles county, cracking, spalling, and erosion in the spillway at pyramid dam. male: they don't have the adequate knowledge to maintain those facilities. stephen: this former dwr engin

john garamendi of california. much more on the breaking news. now under criminal investigation, the president's lawyer michael cohen goes to court to suppress evidence gathered in the fbi raids against him. does that evidence include recorded phone conversations? and former fbi chief james comey unleashes a scathing criticism of the president who is hitting back very, very hard. closer look at comey's revelations when we come back. termites. we're on the move. hey rick, all good? oh yeah, we're good. we're good. terminix. defenders of home. a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home, with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day, so you can stay home. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if

that includes my next guest, congressman john garamendi of california.'ll talk to him about it when "cnn newsroom" returns. my mom's pain from moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis was intense. i wondered if she could do the stuff she does for us which is kinda, a lot. and if that pain could mean something worse. joint pain could mean joint damage. enbrel helps relieve joint pain, and helps stop further damage enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are common. or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure or if you have persistent fever, bruising, bleeding or paleness. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. since enbrel, my mom's back to being my mom. visit enbrel.com... and use the joint damage simulator to see how joint damage c

. >> congressman john garamendi with us until 8:00 this morning. phone lines are open for your questions or comments. -- jesse is up first. good morning.>> hello jesse. >> good morning. i am an independent. i lean more toward libertarian then republican but really conservative. i have to tell you -- you know, when you look at what is going around the world, taking the ability within the commander-in-chief to authorize a strike without declaring war, it just piseems stupid to me. and to give the authority to congress which has shown time and time again incapable of doing anything constructive except for taking our money and spending it i think is another step to lunacy. he did not declare war on syria. and congress is not either. he did not ask congress to. what he did was tried to keep an atrocity from happening and i think ithat needs to be considered here. >> as i said a moment ago, i believe congress would have enacted an enauthorization usin force in very short order had the president come to congress and said here are the problems, this is wha

whole thing and the guardsmen will be playing a role in those kind of activities. >> congressman john garamendim california, member of the arms services committee, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >>> targeting the oligarchs. how the latest sanctions on putin's power players could impact u.s. ow russia relations. great, another dead end. sarge, i just got a tip that'll crack this case wide open! turns out the prints at the crime scene- awwwww...did mcgruffy wuffy get a tippy wippy? i'm serious! we gotta move fast before- who's a good boy? is him a good boy? erg...i'm just gonna go. oh, you wanna go outside? you gotta go tinky poo-poo? i already went, ok? in the bathroom! as long as people talk baby-talk to dogs, you can count on geico saving folks money. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. >>> the trump administration targeting russian officials and oligarchs with new tough sanctions for so-called malign activities in the world. including in the sanction was olo oleg dare paska, former associate of paul manafort. as for paul manafort, special counsel robert mue

host: about 10 minutes left with john garamendi, democrat from california.y is waiting for you in massachusetts, democrat. hi. guest: hello. guys.: hi, i just want to thank you both, host, as well, as well as mr. ndi, idy. -- mr. garmedn will die a democrat, and the blue wave will be here for generations i hope and pray. when we are all aware of what is actually happening since the election was stolen in 2016, there is not a single reason i have to trust a single republican governor, senator, congressman or woman, republican ryan, mike pence, paul nobody knows what they are doing. that is what democrats do. john, youyourself, guys and girls, thank you for my family to yours and to all of my fellow americans, we are all in this mess together.these republicans -- i think their party needs to and. they do nothing right. guest: i appreciate your sentiments but i happen to know many good republicans in congress who share the concerns i have, specifically about this issue of the president being able to engage and actually creating an attack on a foreign government

joining me now is california democratic congressman john garamendi a member of the house armed servicesmittee. thank you for being here. >> good to be with you. >> what do you think? is it a good idea to send the troops to the border given the trump administration showing numbers where illegal crossings are at an uptick this month. >> it would be nice to have a plan. i think the principle of the p's, prior planning peoria vents poor performance. there is no plan. trump woke up sunday or monday morning and decided that there was some huge crisis and invasion coming from the south and we needed to make that invasion with the military. well they discovered that the military couldn't do it but maybe he could order up the national guard and so oh, my, we'll send the national guard to the border. all well and good, all of us want to have strong border and we want safe boarders and drugs and illegals crossing the border. that is all good. but how can you do it wisely? is there a role for the national guard? well there already is. california has had 55 national guardsmen working every day on th

john garamendi joins us next with his take on the president's strategy. accept an incomplete job from any one else. so why accept it from your allergy pills? most pills don't finish the job because they don't relieve nasal congestion. flonase allergy relief is different. flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, plus nasal congestion, which pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. and 6 is greater than 1. start your day with flonase for more complete allergy relief. flonase. this changes everything. that you don't think about is very much. counties it's really not very important. i was in the stone ages as much as technology wise. and i would say i had nothing. you become a school teacher for one reason, you love kids. and so you don't have the same tools, you don't always believe you have the same... outcomes achievable for yourself. when we got the tablets, it changed everything. by giving them that technology and then marrying it with a curriculum that's designed to have technology

but here's how california congressman john garamendi described bolton yesterday. >> now we have boltonclearly a right-wing nutcase. he wants to take out north korea with some sort of bloody noise attack that will kill tens of thousands of people within the first couple of days. >> that comment comes as the u.s. and south korea begin their annual fall eagle military drills. joining me now is adam bounce from the american federation of scientists and expert on global strategy and nuclear politics. adam, mattis joked about bolton and garamendi said it is no laughing matter. what is your take? >> that's one of those jokes that is a little too close to home. you know, bolton is one of the most extreme figures in the country on north korea. he's a man that has said that negotiations are a waste of time. he's said that war is the preferable option. he doesn't much care about how these strikes take place, at least in the public comments, but his consistent record over the years has been that regime change is the preferred option for nuclear weapons programs. so that led him to disagree and try

congressman john garamendi of the beautiful state of california. the dow, ibm is a disproportionate share of that. ibm was the leader of the dow and it is the thing dragging it down. if you were to take ibm out of this and sell-off. we'd be up 80 points. of course, we're not because ibm is still part of the dow and selling off bigtime. >>> other developments, we told you about the airstrikes that the administration already led and wants to follow up on, if, if, if, it looks like the syrians are repeating chemical weapons attacks on their people. but the russians are planning something too, and hillary vaughn is at the cyberconference going on in san francisco where, they potentially could inflict the most pain on us. hillary, what are you hearing? >> hi, neil. the chief information security officer for the cia tells me that the biggest threat to our cybersecurity isn't hackers, it's our own computers. he is calling out companies like microsoft and apple for placing user convenience over user security. >> government knows how to build the secure ope

congressman john garamendi. >> my pleasure to be with you. >> shannon: let's talk about localities they are saying they want to push back against what the state has done with respect to allowing private employers from a local law enforcement to cooperate with i.c.e. i want to play a little bit of what we heard from the escondido mayor. he joined us last night. he is inside a meeting now. here's what he said. >> i am very, very pleased we are pushing back against this golden state that is no longer a golden state. it's just a sanctuary place for poverty, homeless, legal immigration, sanctuary. >> shannon: what do you make of his assessments? >> we certainly know that sb 54 was controversial as it went through the california legislature, the governor had problems with earlier versions of the bill but ultimately signed sb 54. the controversy didn't end. there's a lawsuit underway as to whether it's constitutional under the federal constitution. we will see what happens. amicus briefs are about as common as the weather changes. they are filed all the time by different organizations. in this

. >> congressman john garamendi, i appreciate your time. >> thank you. >>> joining me now evelyn farkas, she's secretary of defense for russia, ukraine and eurasia. evelyn, there's a piece of discussion that we have to have, that is the piece about russia. why it's in syria in the first place. and what its goals are and how it is america is supposed to inflict pain on syria from assad using chemical weapons while dodging a fight with russia. >> right, ali, the first thing we have to note is that russia's in there because russia has been in syria, militarily, politically and economically, actually all the way back to the cold war. so they want to maintain their influence there. but what putin is really fighting for is for the right for assad to stay in power. the international community cannot force regime change in russia's estimation on assad. but the reality is this isn't going to be solved until we get rid of assad. if i could add to the conversation before i actually answer the question. >> yes. >> i think we have to get in in order to get out. i don't mean necessarily militarily. t

elizabeth: california congressman john garamendi. i want to get right to the topic of north korea. have been very critical of the president in the past especially when it comes to the fire and fury treats in the language used. i'm curious what transpired this week in summer attributing it to the language. >> we certainly have extremely important step forward and we should be hopeful. we shouldn't be overly optimistic given the history of the three presidents, past presidents. their optimism and effort. it's an important step forward in there some important reasons we need to understand how we got here. certainly the bluster by both kim jong un and by president trump may have created within both of their minds, maybe we had to move to diplomacy. i hope that is the case. certainly the sanctions in which the united states, china, other countries involved are very important reasons and also one critically important fact is that north korea had completed its missile and its nuclear weapons program and have in place both missiles and nuclear bombs. that gives them a different negotiating

. >>> joining me now, democratic representative john garamendi from california, a member of the house armed services committee. good to have you with us. >> good to be with you. >> we heard abby lay it out there. this will be sensitive for the state of california. you've been speaking to the leadership of the california national guard and discussing potentially refusing to cooperate with the president's proclamation here. are you willing to go toe to toe, battle this with the white house? >> we're willing to fight with the white house, but i doubt that this will be much of a fight. the reality is that we presently have 55 national guard, nearly permanently stationed at the southern border with mexico. they have been performing duties there for the last several years. duties such as running the drone aircraft that are observing the border, providing some construction information, and providing general intelligence and other kinds of work. they're not there as law enforcement, but rather to support. the question from the administration is somebody so well said, an unspecified number fro
