what happened on the senate floor tonight involving liz wet warren and the late coretta what happenedn the senate floor tonight involving liz wet warren and the late coretta scott king? >> it sounds like she's saying she was essentially silenced, booted by the ladder ship that. >> i'll tell you, brian, the reason why democrats feel embolden in doing what in terms of their progressive base, it's just going to make the whole situation that much more problematic and make democrats feel embodened in terms of pr and nicole, it is so toxic since everything sells moving at the speed of light? there is usually staff turnover. first year, first two years, maybe the joke 4 if you're light ient. you could argue either way whether what was good on bat. the stuff you did during your campaign made you win, that it was all good. and one of the things that donald trump did a lot during his campaign was fire everybody ard start over. then there was casey conway now and kelly car so seven years actually transpire in one. so he might be on target for his first shake-up. i know that he is reaching out to

it was set up by liz warren, her brainchild as a part of dodd-frank and set up to be unaccountable. the d.c. court of appeals said it was an unconstitutional agency because the president's not free to fire the guy at the head. >> even if the cfpb were accountable, it still wouldn't be necessary. we should still abolish it. it doesn't take a genius to say that the marketplace is about protecting the consumer simply because if you do a bad job by that consumer, there's voluminous competition for your business. we don't need what is an accountable or unaccountable. david: mike, here is what one of the folks who put a target on this agency says. senator sass, i'm quoting him, he don't like it, the structure is based on the idea that government is unlimited and rights are dependent on the special dispensation of the experts who know better than the american people. what do you think of that? >> well, he's right, david. if you look at the salaries of these people at this agency, three,t the average person earns in the private sector, that's horrendous and done tremendous part as being par

liz: warren buffett, what he shopped and what he sold and how they are performing, asking if he a secret howard stern? david joy, ameriprises $787 billion market maven if you should follow the "oracle of omaha"'s investment decision. "countdown" coming right back. as after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. what about the people i care about? ...including this little girl. and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, num

then there was batty liz warren trying to smear jeff sessions.t the democratic party to bro out in the caribbean with richard branson. can't say i blame the guy. kitesurfing is as good a reason as any to leave the party in shambles. he got settlement check and took off for thailand. making up for lost time. later america, you suck. great guy. i did something similar on my last vacation. i tell the e.r. that's why i'm all covered with that stuff. >> how do you react to the fact that more women hard than went to trump's inaugural? the pictures don't lie, you know. real still photos? greg: in the areas where the march, more women voted for trump. you are talking about metropolitan areas in new york city and l.a. where she had more women vote for her. it's easy for them to get to the city. people who voted for trump are not going to get in their trucks and drive to the march. >> 67 cities. greg: that's nothing. i have restraining orders in 67 cities. i think it many great. all those gals came out and they protested and they spoke their minds, and ame

. >> last night, liz warren was on the senate floor. what did she say about his confirmation?> she was very concerned and made those comments yesterday and that prompted such an unusual move for the republican who is enforce the rule of decor um saying she was out of line saying she was impugning a fellow senator. i asked why she carried on and she said she was trying to present the facts and criticize his past record that correta scott king, martin luther king's widow raised when sessions himself was nominated for a federal judge in 1986. i asked do you agree with what mrs. king said in the letter from 1986 and he could potentially dis enfranchise blak voters and she said yes. those words were too strong for some and nled it was out of line. this shows how polarizing the debate is. >> president trump is not only attacking judges verbally and the pick calls disheartening and demoralizing. >> president trump is making his case to the court of public opinion. judges is holding up the executive order imposing a travel ban on seven majority nations will be to blame. >> i think it'

some are left to believe was it intentional in order to elevate liz warren is the face of the democraticarty? i'm not so sure about that. what we are seeing is that democrats are trying to oppose everything. they have zero power in congress and in washington because his republican-controlled, of cours course. they are trying to make something out of nothing. they are not doing a terrible job of that. they are slowing things down pretty dramatically on the hill. it is creating some problems for president trump and it's annoying him. >> there is a quantitative way to measure exactly how effective this obstruction is. here is a chart showing how many cabinet secretaries president trump is nominated who still are awaiting confirmation. there's ten of them, as you can see. jeff sessions, the nominee for attorney general is the next up there. by this point in their respective presidency, barack obama had only three individuals still awaiting confirmation. george w. bush, none at all. so, a.b., do you regard what the democrats are doing as the most effective, best politics they can possibly pla

we may be trying to do is to boost warren to become the face of the democratic party which he thinks helps republicans. lizr schumer is saying this is selective enforcement going after senator warren. what do you make of that? >> that's an interesting consideration. there is obviously -- i'm not sure what happened with that. but i'm aware of that situation. i think this environment is a bit more sensitive than it was when ted cruz made his comments. he had cory booker, the first sitting u.s. senator to testify against a colleague for a nomination. things are different than they were with ted cruz. but this i think was a deserving situation. liz: thank you so as much for your time. you guys are really brilliant and we appreciate your insights. we have a source telling fox news that in a conversation with a senator, supremep supreme court nominee neil gorsuch said the president's comments about the judiciary are disheartening and demoralizing. we'll keep you updated on that story. donald trump's labor secretary pick, his confirmation hearing is set for february 16. at this point in time president obama had 1

neil: thank you my friend, meantime senator liz warren speaking with reporters after last night's dust-up could and couldn't say about jeff sessions. quoting coretta scott king. >> this is about coretta scott king's letter. that is all this is about. she wrote a powerful letter about a important moment in history that directly involved jeff sessions and it directly relevant to the question of whether or not jeff sessions ought to be the attorney general of the united states. and mitch mcconnell didn't want me to read that letter. he stopped me. neil: all right. well it broke decorum of the senate to say anything bad about a fellow senator. in that letter coretta scott king, widow of martin luther king, when the senator was up for judgeship, at the time he was not a senator. that his conduct was reprehensible looking at rights of black voters and should not be rewarded with judgeship. we have the niece of dr. martin luther king, jr. alveda, the reprehensible comment apparently irked many in the senate and too personal not to be repeated, three democratic senators since gone to the micropho

the democratic base that's looking for a cause and looking for a leader and has elevated he liz belg warren's position within her own party. >> i'm surprised we haven't seen more democrats start reading the letter and get this cascade of people being silenced by mitch mcconnell. that would be to much more political effect than anything else but who is the idea going forward? this idea that they're searching for a base and message and to reconnect. is obstruction like we're seeing here and on the other votes that they're promising to delay enough? >> it's not enough to achieve what they're after. they're trying to block sessions, the answer is no. but if they're trying to mount a real resistance that pleases the progressive base of the democratic party then perhaps yes. i remember a couple of years ago when ted cruz was mounting a shutdown and he did not have support among republicans to do that but he had supports among a base of the republican party, the tea party wing. now they're full on. it's going to be good publicity for them to drive that base and oppose trump everywhere in order to pr

neil: you've been through a lot of soap operas, including the dust-up in the senate with liz warren and how did that go down? i don't want to get sidetracked. democrats made hay of it. republicans say they were following rules on conduct and how you refer to each other. it had to be tense because there you were in the middle of it all? >> well, i preside every tuesday night from 6:30 p.m. to eight p.m. neil: lucky you. >> i had no idea who would be speaking. typically you don't. when you're presiding officer you have to call balls and strikes according to rules of the senate. neil: that is a rule, right? you can't disparage another member. >> words are you can't impune a fellow senator a sitting senator. so there are boundaries on that. that is to keep civility and statesmanship in this very important institution called the united states senate. let's not forget -- neil: she is quoting from a letter, sir, quoting from a letter written by coretta king 30 years ago, that doesn't make it right. >> it says direct or indirect. there were other statements that quoted from ted kennedy, that us
