. >> tim kaine and lindsey graham two of many guests weighing in on that. we will be right back. there's nothing more important to me than my vacation. so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation, in case i decide to go from kid-friendly to kid-free. now i can start relaxing even before the vacation begins. your vacation is very important. that's why booking.com makes finding the right hotel for the right price easy. visit booking.com now to find out why we're booking.yeah the uncertainties of hep c. wondering, what if? i let go of all those feelings. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and c

i will turn to senator kaine for this introduction. sen. kaine: michael has a very powerful story.e shared it with me because i put an aca story feature on my senate website and i asked people to share what would happen to them if the aca were repealed as the house did and as we fear the senate republicans are trying to do as well. he will tell you a story and it is a powerful one because he is a full-time caregiver for his wife, who has ms. at age 64, he was diagnosed with cancer. and so dealing with both being a health care caregiver for a wife with a serious physical condition and dealing with a cancer diagnosis, that is more than anybody should have to bear. having to bear with it in a system that has a humane health care system versus one with no health care safety net is dramatically different. we will hear from mr. dunkley about that story. >> thank you very, very much. we have teresa miller who is the pennsylvania insurance commissioner. commissioner miller will speak about the health care markets in pennsylvania and how trumpcare will affect her state. i have indicated to

the results - >> kaine i did not agree to that all. why does a billionaire fumigated $52 billion tax break? please have the american people. >> because we want to get rid of -- >> is the walton family and ordinary family? >> know they are extraordinary. ordinary people are living coverture under obama care. >> i'm asking whether wealthiest family in america is getting the tax break. >> and i'm answer the question. >> you and the estate tax which applies to 2/10 of one percent. >> center. i'm sorry that the assumption was looking at the tax reductions that are contained in obamacare. >> no, the thumper we are talking about. no, no, no. >> the budget assumes a deficit neutral tax plan. when we budget we did not have nearly enough specifics to assume what you are suing. which is a specific reduction. yes, the proposals that the white house published about three or four weeks ago, the principles that we said it does include a reduction of the estate tax. >> repeal of the estate tax care. >> yes but it is mathematically impossible to take t

senator kaine. sen. kaine: thank you. thank you to all of you. i want to pick up on what my friend was saying. ms. johnson, as you are testifying, tears started rolling down my face. i have heard a lot of stories like this. the reason i was crying, the people that passed this law could care less what any of you think. they could care less what any of your experiences are. when a house was considering the first version of the bill they had three hearings. there was a hearing in the energy committee. it did not allow any patient witnesses. there was one in the same committee in february on the collapsing health market, they allow to somebody from the american cancer society and an insurance commissioner to speak. and there was another hearing on the individual mandate and they did not allow patient witnesses. when the version came up that they voted on, they do not have any hearings. they did not have any witnesses. they did not allow any amendments. they did not even wait for a cbo score to tell them how many people would lose insurance, how much

tim kaine, senator kaine, went on, quote, it will go down as probably the lowest moment in the history of the f.b.i.. probably next to the decision of jay edgar hoover to wiretap martin luther king and it was unfortunate, unquote, kaine said. . that was from the "freebie con." senator diane -- that was from the "free bee kohn." - "free beacon." senator diane feinstein said, today's break from tradition is appalling. senator chris murphy a democrat from connecticut, said this on y 1, on msnbc, quote, it's absolutely true that democrats have been very critical of james comey and many of us did call for his resignation. unquote. senator cory booker from new jersey, back november 6 of 2016, said, hillary clinton was sharply critical of the f.b.i. in the wake of surprise announcement that the investigators were examining newly discovered emails that could be related to her former private server. but she avoid the issue more recently. that senator king cory booker took a swipe at the law enforcement agency on sunday when he introduced clinton at a black church here. and this actually is a st

. >> reporter: vice president candidate tim kaine worries democrats in the upper chamber could be shut out >> if the republicans put the bill in committees that will show they're interested in the process. but if they won't, if they try to force it to the floor, that shows it's not about healthcare, it's about politics. >> reporter: president trump turning to twitter today saying it was a bill win in the house and very exciting, adding that we'll have truly great healthcare. in washington, joel waldman, fox news. >>> of course, fox 5 is your station for politics, on 5at630, much more on healthcare, we'll take a closer look as the president prepares for his first overseas visit since taking office. use #5at630 then look for your tweet on our political show coming up next at 6:30. >>> coming up, are you celebrating cinco de mayo? we'll take a look at how the day was created and also all the business that goes into the celebration. >>> we'll take a look at some damage from today's storms. first let's check in with gwen to get a check on the weather. gwen is the sun still out >> we have ra

senator tim kaine said the firing shows the white house is frightened over the russian investigation, saying it is part of a "growing pattern by the white house to cover up a truth." steve: the first forecast from stormwatch 7, the temperatures not as cold as they were last night at this time. the reason why, we have a bit of cloud cover. tomorrow, a bit warmer for the daytime highs come eventually into the lower 70's by the afternoon. grab the sunglas we have rain all the way on the 10-day outlook and the impact on the friday morning rush-hour commute. plus, mother's day weekend and a warming trend. more on that in a few minutes. alison: steve, thank you. a warning for your metro commute, crooks targeting your while that tugging at your heartstrings. it starts with a flyer asking you to donate money for youth sports. it seems innocent enough, but it is a scam. anna-lysa gayle has what you need to know. withwas on the metro trade my family and a young man was walking around the train with a flyer. at the top it said roosevelt roughriders. anna-lysa: after being handed a piece of paper

this afternoon, virginia senator tim kaine spoke to community leaders apt how to keep kids safe in apike against gang activity across the region. northern virginia bureau chief jeff goldberg was there and spoke to a local teen recruited by ms-13 but chose a different path. jeff: the recent string of brutal gang-related murders in north virginia but may surprise many people but not a teenager from alexandria. >> look of friendship, the look of love. >> kevin a 17-year-old high school junior who did not want to reveal his identity or the last name says those are some of the primary reasons why teenagers join gangs like ms-13. he says the gang tied on blewstone road. the women are expected to survivor. no word what led to the shooting. trump the attacks must end and end now. larry: 120 officers died in the line of duty last year. the president said he is working to prosecute the violent crime against law enforcement. >> one of the more unique high school sports teams in america is right here in our backyard. in a couple of hours, the south county girls soccer squad in fairfax county kic

. >>> we're now joined by senator tim kaine the former democratic vice president and senator thanks so much for join us. >> you bet. >> so the fbi is now declined house oversight committee request for former fbi director comey's memos citing the work of the special counsel robert mueller. are you confident that all the relevant committees in the house and the senate, all the investigators, all the investigations up on the hill that they will get access to those memos? >> wolf, i am confident about it. i think we're still fairly new into the special prosecutor just appointed last week, but i'm very confident that the special prosecutor and the especially the senate intelligence committee will reach a working accord where they can each pursue their investigations diligently. they're slightly different the two investigations, they're both very important. one into criminal conduct and one to determine what happened so we can protect our electoral system, but i think they'll work out how to share the information. some of it may be shared in a classified way, some publicly, but i have confid

before that, though, senator kaine will visit west potomac county.tar kevin durant giving back his charity foundation partnered with nike to improve the outdoor basketball courts at the seat pleasant activity center. they're the same courts he played on as a kid. today the new and improved courts will officially open. kevin durant will not be on hand for the ceremony but his mom will. steve over to you will. >> another big night for d.c. teams. two nights it is win or season over for the wizards. now on friday and washington forced a game seven against boston. what a clutch shot it was from biggest shot in wizards history. he jumped on the scorers table to celebrate which was a surprise for teammate bradley beal. >> jump up on the scorers table that was a great moment. >> i told that you -- >> jump on table. >> um, the last play was really for me to get to the corner and brad come opened but he didn't get opportunity to get open i didn't want to get a 52nd violation so i came and got the ball from otto, just looked the defendant in the eye and took a

you just spoke with tim kaine. what have you got? what are you hearing? >> reporter: well i think everybody has a wet finger in the air, at least on the republican side just to see how angry people are, how much this has the possibility -- what kind of legs it has frankly or whether or not it's cogoing to cam down the calls for a special prosecutor. we talked to senator tillis from north carolina a moment ago. he says he wants to see how the senate investigation works out. the call for a special prosecutor, that's going to hang out there. remember, obviously congress can't appoint a special prosecutor, it has to be doney the ag or the deputy attorney general. that doesn't seem likely to happen. there are calls for a independent commission, there's the senate committee, intelligence committee which was due to hear from james comey in an open hearing tomorrow on the subject of worldwide threats. that investigation is ongoing. i talked to senators yesterday, they were collecting evidence, reviewing the responses they got for request of documents from carder

then we heard from senator tim kaine, hillary clinton's former running mate, and he said the president of the united states put the american people in direct danger. let's listen to what he had to say and also what senator marco rubio had to say from florida. >> he runs this whole campaign criticizing secretary clinton for the way she used classified information and he says i'm the president and can give classified information to whoever i want. i think he's saying that to assure us? no. by him saying that, that actually frightens people because if you give up classified information and then dry up a source whose information is helping keep americans safe, you just made our country less safe. what, you're doing it again? you're telling anybody you can give any information any time? >> accuracy and u it's fair and the right thing to do for the american people and fairness to the administration but we need to learn more about it and ask very specific questions and hopefully they'll be answered at some point today. >> a number of lawmakers are echoing that message across capitol hill. the

helping us try and navigate it all is stephanie kaine. thank for being here. >> thank you so much for having me. >> let's goat to that age old question. the one i ask myself every time i attend the wedding. how much am i suppose to be giving? >> it's actually the top question for every guest going to a wedding and there used to be there's thought that you're supposed to pay for your head at the table. but you need to ditch that myth. you should buy a gift based on your relationship to the couple. >> that's worse. here's how much i love you or don't. >> well, you know, for people that you are very close to you want to spend more on them and we're seeing that with statistics. so you know, wedding guests that on average are spending $118 on a gift, but the guests that are in the wedding party, so bridesmaids and groomsmen they're spending 177. the guideline is if you are attending a wedding for a good friend you want to spend around 125. if you are much closer to them a best friend, really close family member you can spend up to $200 and if

north um he has the support of many virginia establishment like the governor, terry mcauliffe, tim kaine you say to yourself, if tom perry ello has all the endorsements from outside and the lieutenant governor inside the state as a voter if you want somebody connected to virginia is perry ello your guy? listen to what he had to say about that >> certainly all the elected officials in the state were lined up for mr. north um before i got in the race, we have t campaign, as well as elizabeth warren on board and i think the kind of candidate that can unite that spectrum is of interest to a party that doesn't want to be divided like it was last year. >> that really is a theme for democrats. this getting past the division of the democrat primary the 2016 election, this is a fascinating primary to watch and see unfold, of course, we reached out to the lieutenant governor to be part of this story as well. we will follow up with them and talk to them as well about this neck and neck primary, the polls show within the standard deviation of each other. a lot could change in three week, it is fasci

tim kaine, (d-va) "colusin entre el presidente y una nacin como rusia es un pregunta bien difcil paraparte la casa blanca recalc este mircoles que otras investigaciones no son necesarias. justific el despido de comey diciendo que no haba manejado bien la investigacin sobre hillary clinton. una -que el mismo mandatario alab durante su campaÑa. pero este mircoles su opinin fue otra. (trump) dijo que comey no estaba haciendo un buen trabajo. s/adolfo franco, analista conservador en algn momento todos han estado en contra del director comey. creo que el presidente tiene razn". la casa blanca explic que el presidente tom la decisin basndose en una recomendacin del fiscal general jeff sessions y del fiscal general diputado rod rosenstein. destac que la investigacin sobre rusia no tuvo nada que ver. sobre comey por lo pronto solo se sabe que supo de su despido al verlo en televisin y que fue invitado a reunirse con un comit del senado la prxima semana. s/randy serrano comey es la tercera autoridad del gobierno que es despedida por la casa blanca mientras investigaba personas de la campaÑa o

bipartisan members of this committee, senator kaine signed it as well as gardner and young and paul and portman. it urged the administration to discuss opening the chinese market to u.s. beef with the president of china during his visit to the united states. and it's vital we work towards to insure that u.s. beef is traded fairly and trade barriers are eliminated there as well. >> i agree wholeheartedly. i want to be able to serve american beef, specifically iowa premium beef, at the embassy and at the ambassador's residence. i don't think it's fair that right now we have to serve australian beef or argentinean beef. this issue goes back to mad cow disease 13 years ago. and as you said, they've announced they're going to do it but it's still not been done. that's one of the areas that i feel very strongly about. in fact, the trade mission i went on in november to both china and japan, we did have a great press conference and beef tasting in tokyo. and our beef sales, i was on the early stages of opening that japanese market many years ago to american beef. and that now is really flouris

. >> i remember, that volume kaine owe was, something along those lines. >> boy, good memory there. >i don't think i got it at all close though. but yeah, those kind of ash cloud can cause major headaches because you are just traveling through those ash cloud and they cannot do. that we will bring it back stateside, no volcanic activity, locally but we do have a weather alert to talk about as we have a stationary front and scattered showers and thunderstorms still firing up at this hour. east of the mississippi there are a couple round of rain, storms that we can pinpoint at this hour, but nothing that is looking all that incredibly organized, but what we do have is instability to work work moisture to work work cloud, settling in with light wind as well and you can new see a couple lightening strikes firing up to the west. with time that will roll through our area as well and any fog that is currently out there will have a chance to lift in the next couple of hours. this is not an all day thing. we should brighten up, for some sunshine but again, not out of the wood with a shower or

senator kaine. >> thank you mr. chair. that was good question. wondering the same thing and appreciate governor branstad your service and happy to support you in this position. democratic friends in iowa give you high marks, as high as they'll give to somebody on the other side to be honest. >> keep reelecting me. >> i come from the only state where they just give you one term. only state they call governor your excellency. talk about you nice but want you to leave quickly. 22 years is remarkable and you've had an amazing track record. as i think about iowa from having visited friends, many things i think about but most, ag and forestry number one part of the virginia economy and you guys lead with that. what you have done over the years of your tenure with others to improve the lives of family farms through the creation of alternative energy, options for farmers, together with farming for food grow corn and use it to produce ethanol or have a wind tower to use to supplement income. would love to hear, from 1983 to today it's revolutionary. >> th

senators tim kaine and jeff flake will introduce bipartison authorization for the use of military force against isis and several other terror networks. the two have been longtime leaders in the senate on the issue. back in 2015 they introduced an a-u-m-f to explicitly authorize military force against isis, al-qaeda and the taliban. used for an extended military campaign. the white house says president trump plans to make the manchester attack the focus of his meetings today with nato leaders. this is trump's first nato meeting. the president has been wavering on his support for the decades-long partnership, even calling the alliance quote "obsolete". the president is also slated to meet with the hads of the european union.. after having publicly cheered for it's dissolution. new this morning. the spanish tall ship "el galeon" has returned to alexandria. the reconstructed 16th century replica sailing vessel passed through the woodrow wilson bridge just after 4 this morning. converted into a floating museum - five of the vessel's six decks are available for tours. stay with us - coming up

. >> violence continues to be, today tim kaine is in on it, along with police, educators, community leader, senator cain concerned the budget proposal would slash fund to go programs that have helped fight the spread of gangs. >> somebody asked me is the gang problem getting better or getting worse? and i said, well, you know, that's one of the reasons why i'm here, to learn it, but what i will say, is i don't think we're happy with the progress, we're making, you know, whether it is getting better or whether it is getting worse, i think we need to be making more progress. >> one police official at the he said stepped up enforcement is an important tool in fighting gang violence, he believes other solutions are desperately needed to change the culture and also keep people away from gangs. >> all right, let's get you up to speed here. five things happening right now. i-i-95 back open tonight, but it was a much differnt story this morning. the southbound lanes were closed for about five hours, after a car clipped a charter bus. the bus flipped on it side, more than two dozen people were hurt

this is one of the problems that senator young and senator kaine and others may have, because as time continues to pass, whatever sort of reading of madison's comments about the need to separate the power to decide whether to go to war or execute a war, it increases power to the executive and so forth. the damage is done if there was damage. at this point, it may be that the scab and the scar tissue has already formed. so the clean-up of the books by congress explicitly saying that isil and explicit organizations, whatever that means. i'm not sure what problems are being fixed. today if it ever were to happen. >> one of the things i argued before the senate armed services committee when they had the hearing in 2013 on isis, aumf and the loss of conflict, was that the 2001 aumf is self-limiting. and that it's not as broad as some would argue. now this gentleman asked the question many people have, which is, it seems like it's gone on forever. one associated force becomes the next associated force, et cetera. your predecessor and our friend, jeh johnson, gave a speech at yale law school

senator tim kaine tweeting: comey firing recommended by sessions. i thought he had recused himself from russian investigation. also saying how frightened the administration over the investigation. richard blumeing that would callinfor a special investigator. dick durbin saying phaps ts had something to do with the russian information and putting out there publicly that they hope this investigation between possible collusion with donald trump's campaign and donald trump's businesses in russia is not interfered with or stopped. what are your thoughts? >> well, the interesting thing is after the hearings yesterday, all the discussions, all the work that's been done, the stuff that came off the intelligence community last year consistently says there's no evidence of any collusion at all. you would think that the democrats would applaud this because of what james comey did last year on july 5 where he gave this rambling press conference that made absolutely no sense. when he interjected himself back into the election, you know, ten days before the elect

among the unbelievers, virginia democrat tim kaine. tim kaine > "just on the republican side you have some who are saying that it's not conservative enough, and some who are saying it's way too conservative."democrats are united against it.the bill is passed and laid upon the table not a single democrat vote in the house.instead a song predicting a voter backlash. hey hey hey goodbye "republicans are going to rue the day they voted for this bill." "let me just say that they have this vote tattooed on them."here are some of the changes in the republican bill. pre=existing conditions ... insurers will be once again be able to charge higher rates if you have a history of anything from cancer to asthma. subsidized premiums: they will be based on age, not income, meaning young people will pay less, older people will pay more.medicaid: in the next ten years 880 billion dollars would be cut from coverage for low income americans.it's possible the senate will try to reverse some of these changes,but then th
