lamar alexander, r-tn:> "so radical, so far left."ut he does believe climate change is a serious problem. "most of the scientists, almost all of them say humans are major cause of it. so the question is what to do about it." alexander is proposing a 10- point plan to address climate change over the next five years..."doubling energy research, building advanced reactors, better batteries, greener buildings, electric cars." "the investments that senator alexander is talking about certainly should be a part of an comprehensive, bipartisan solution." elizabeth gore with the environmental defense fund was disappointed by this week's debate. but she's encouraged by alexander's proposal. "we need members of congress from both sides of the isle to come to the table to put their best ideas forward." alexander's plan is much less ambitious than the green new deal but it does contain some similarit

against the president, but it looks like it will be a little bit dicier in the senate, and here's what lamar alexander has said about the president's declaration. >> there has never been an instance where a president of the united states has asked for funding. congress has refused it and the president has then used the national emergency act to justify spending the money anyway. >> aren't you concerned this could come back and bite republicans if a democrat gets to the white house again? >> look. the president has the authority to do this. in 1976, we actually kind of shrunk the power, and he has the power to go forward. think about what has happened in the past, the drugs that are coming across, the number of people who have died, the human trafficking. in 2005, because the federal government didn't act along the border, two governors did take their own emergency. the dhs secretary, she took it along the border in arizona because she said what was happening in the smuggling and others. you had bill richardson in new mexico do the same exact thing. there is a national emergency along the bor

lamar alexander made the case against the national emergency. and cory gardner faces a close reelection in a battle ground state. the president would veto it if it moves through the senate. he has not yet used his veto pen. but they just don't have the votes in the house and senate to override. they were 40-plus votes short in the house of representatives. they need 285, 290. overriding a president's veto is a big deal and it's also rare. last time it happened was in september of 2016 when the house and senate overrode president obama to help saudi families sue saudi arabia. in 2016 an effort to override president obama's veto on a repeal of obamacare. liz: with me now is kevin cramer. senator, thanks for joining me. what about happen after the president vetoes this. do you think it gets to the supreme court? >> i think it's two separate tracks. there could be they will challenges that lead to the supreme court at the same time the veto would come back and be sustained by the house and the senate. so i think all this will play out. we'll see how

senate not in session today but yesterday senator lamar alexander had these remarks about donald trump'semergency declaration strategy for a southern border wall. >> donald trump has been in vietnam meeting with the north korean leader. i applaud the president for his efforts to improve the us relationship with north korea. there is a not a more difficult relationship anywhere in the world than that relationship but i'm glad he chose not to seek a deal for the sake of the deal. as he returns from his summit with a north korean leader and turns his attention back home i want to make a respectful suggestion, and that is this, donald trump asked his lawyers to take a second look at an existing funding authority the president has to consider construction of the 234 miles of border wall that do not require a formal declaration of national emergency. i support what the president wants to do on border security but i do not support the way he has been advised to do it. it is unnecessary and unwise to turn aboard a crisis into a constitutional crisis about separation of powers when the president

lamar is an institutionalest and understands that. he's retiring. susan, no surprise. but i really think there were a number of people like moran who really in their gut believe this was a constitutional vote. a significant vote and that the people who voted the other way will ultimately regret it because just like breaking the filibuster and going nuclear on judges, things will change and then all of a sudden, you're on the other side of it. we have to be for institutional norms and certainly 12 republicans today stood up for the constitution and the institution of the united states senate. >> and joy reed, i was on the hill yesterday and had more than one democratic senator tell me that what the senator said about the ones that voted against it and know what's the right thing to to know it the right thing to do and trump doesn't want them to do. >> i mean, i'm glad that senator hide camp mentioned the constitution change. what is happening, their own power, they are not just voting against the constitution with all due respect to the senator but voting to diminish th

next year, kevin lamar james is being released. remember he created a radical islamic group while in prison and ordered an attack on a u.s. army recruiting office. joining me now is john torres, former acting ic director. john, should we be worried about these guys coming back into society? >> yes, we should be worried not so much because we know law-enforcement is going to keep tabs on them but they have limited resources and quite frankly what i'm concerned with is the average citizen. i'm not in law enforcement anymore. who is moving into the neighborhood next to me? who's going to be close to our schools where students are, the churches, the concert venues? these are all places that event attacked in the last few years. >> laura: the argument would be they were sentenced and they fulfilled their sentence. let's review kevin lamar james first. he was sentenced to 16 years, his release is january 2020. convicted for seditious conspiracy to levy war against the u.s. he founded a domestic terrorist group. they group recruited peopl

i'm hearing there's a chance of that as we heard not just from lamar but others are saying it.ion of powers. this is about misusing emergency powers. right? there's times where of course we need it if there's an urgent threat, we should use it. we need to make sure the commander in chief as an opportunity to respond to the threat. this is about overruling what we agreed to in congress where we have a responsibility in congress and the president has a responsibility. there's a clear separation of responsibilities here. he's just trying to in this case encroach on our responsibilities. that's why i think you see people in the senate responding that way. >> we'll see what happens then. congressman, thank you. we'll leave it there. >>> coming up, lawmakers not done with president trump's former attorney michael cohen. after days of hearings, a member of the house oversight committee will be here on what more michael cohen can offer and who else in the trump orbit he wants to speak to. look limu. a civilian buying a new car. let's go. limu's right. liberty mutual can save you money

lamar alexander has made this a priority. that means telegrams, title iv. you are talking $125 billion in pell grants. how do we make this programs more flexible so that they do just what morgan says. how do we make sure we are targeting the workforce me needs in providing that money? we need more flexibility to do that. not every job requires a baccalaureate degree. you bring that pell grant funding into the things i just talked about, you are talking about a lot of money to do what targets the funding and the training for the workforce needs. the job demands that businesses have is applicable. >> john is right. a lot of this mission and experimentation is actually happening in the states around tax incentives investments in worker training. i think if we think about that in a broad-based, we are starting to say it does not mean the delivery mechanism cannot be through the community college; it will be the business leadership that knows what the immediate needs are in the workforce. if we can simply try again to have kind of a quality of tax treatment, if
