but the senate majority leader was still pushing back hard. >> i heard from henry hyde that trent lotthim there would be no live witnesses on the floor of the house. i was appalled by that thought. >> i said, "absolutely not. i will not have monica lewinsky in the well of the senate testifying about the stained blue dress." >> the way he put it is that it would sully the floor of the house to have monica lewinsky there, and we aren't going to have it, it's not gonna happen. >> it's demeaning, it's beneath the dignity of the senate. i don't think it's appropriate, and i'm not going to be a part of it. >> i want to make this very, very, very clear. at no point will we ask any questions of monica lewinsky about her explicit sexual relations with the president. >> i proposed, if the senate tells us they will not let us call witnesses, that we leave the senate chamber and refuse to proceed. >> after days of argument and secret deliberations, a senate vote finally shot down the idea of calling live witnesses. >> the motion is not agreed to. >> the senate approved a motion to authorize deposi

bush when trent lott said something that was even remotely. remotely racist george w. bush called it out and you know marginalize trent lott however the republican party has changed since then and they told these guys that's how guys like arthur jones and corey stewart run as republicans even though they're known white supremacists this is why you know you have white supremacist descend on washington d.c. but can say hey i'll try but you know until the public can say nothing about you know that's that's what's problematic the problem what's problematic here is the debt democrats said something about it the democrats and the left always play the race card now they always play the massage me card now it's there that's the there that's the flush they hold in their hand because they don't have any good ideas to improve the life of people all they do is i want to run the same race your rate is so poor massaging this they don't that's all you do that's all i hear from c.n.n. and twenty four seven ok they never talk about policy go ahead you decide later. the way to go about

you remember with trent lott and george w.h, how lott was making a joke about strom thurmond and george w. bush came out and said, this is not who we are. segregation was a horrible period. it was a divorcing of ourselves from the values of this country. lott apologized. he actually stepped down from a position. that was the republican party. the conservative values, character counts. what the hell happened? >> well, i will say -- let me carry a brief for my republican friends for a minute. kevin mccarthy and steve scalise, two republicans, and cheney from wyoming, the number three republicans in the house have all disavowed congressman king's comments. good for them. >> but it's mild what they say. they're not up in high dungeon about other things. that certainly don't matter as much. >> that's politics. what i'm more upset is by our president. we need our president to be a moral leader, most especially on race. let me remind ow about george h.w. bush. he was running for governor of louisiana and president bush senior, bush 4

. >> i heard from henry hyde that trent lott had called and said house managers ever spoke to monicainsky again other than taking deposition there would be no trial whatsoever. there is no way to get the evidence we needed but i will not let the senate do that. >> calling her as a witness would not result in any new information. >> unnecessary to call her as a witness because her testimony is fully and completely disclosed. >> monaco was not the only member that house winners looked for. >> prosecutors announced a pair done witness wish list that includes monica lewinsky, vernon jordan and white house advisor sidney blumenthal. >> but the senate majority leader was pushing back hard. >> i heard from henry hyde that trent lott told him there would be no witnesses on the floor of the house. i was appalled by that. absolutely not, will not have monica lewinsky testifying about the stained blue dress. it would sully the floor of the house to have monica lewinsky there and we will not have it. i don't think it is appropriate and i will not be part of it. >> i want to make this very clear.

to say a lott want of poor people pay a lot of their income towards income taxes and the outcomes from those income taxes are basically nothing. there is no oversight for public schools and many of our children are not even making it. if we are paying taxes the benefit to how we are supposed to utilize those taxes -- why can't we have more health care? if you get it when you come across the lines as an immigrant or a legal citizen. i think we need to do more as citizens of america, we need more rights. the solution in your mind more taxes and higher taxes or better use of the tax dollars we have now? caller: it is getting more taxes from people like our current president. ensuring that we have a better use of those taxes. we need to have accountability. there is no accountability. had breast cancer and i got no treatment but i got them a sector me. you, where to tell is the fairness in all of this, a lot of poor people, i lost my section eight housing because my landlord would not approve my -- where are the solutions? we don't have oversight anymore. host: mr. coy i will let you jump

quickly, trent lott back then made a bigoted crack at a 100th birthday for strom thurmond who had runack then, but the implication of those comments quickly turned into a firestorm. and president george w. bush quickly followed congress and condemned the comments. >> recent comments by senator lott do not reflect the spirit of our country. every day our nation was segregated was a day that america was unfaithful to our founding ideals. >> contrast with our president now. >> mr. president, what about steve king's remarks. >> who? >> steve king. congressman steve king. >> i don't -- i haven't been following it. i really haven't been following it. >> come on. we know that's not true. he has been following this. and the terrible part is, he's been following in king's footsteps. trump shares beliefs with king, doesn't he? i hate to say it, but it's true. king even defended himself by saying, wait a minute, you know what i am? i'm a nationalist, the same stained term our president uses for himself. laced with bigotry and false preference. what is new is that not-so-subtle encouragement of p

here with me to react to all of this, former' assistant to president trump, mar marc lotte.hina was able to accelerate and it got big every and bigger. china's gdp grew and group now we are in a world where the nation that was once the most of powerful economic power in the world is about to become stoke china. how could that have happened? >> if you read the writing of the brilliant michael pillsbury, there is has been a 100-year plant works by the chinese. they plan long term. that's why what president trump is doing is so important. for too long we have had presidents authorize the theft our technology, the theft our intellectual property by the chinese to be used against us. this is a president who said no we are going to stand firm and confront this with the chinese because we don't have a choice now. we have got to do this to put our countries on a level playing field. trish: time is running out. and i hate to see this happen. it's because of their theft. they have taken our intellectual property, our biggest strength, and used that against us. i don't think a lot of p

tom daschle and trent lott, did they work together? sunny. >>> they did.tom daschle and trent lott in my view were the last pair of senate leaders who worked the way they were supposed to. very different philosophies, one a democrat, one a republican, far apart. but they recognized the need to work together to make the senate work, for the senate and for the country. so i have a section in my book about the clinton impeachment trial, which shows lott and daschle working together to steer the trial in a way that works for the country. >> host: let's go back a little bit nor history. two more. bob dole and lyndon johnson. >> guest: i think bob dole was a terrific senate leader in the '8s so. i think he was excessively partisan in the '70s. and he slipped back a little bit in the '90s when he was starting to run for president and he was facing the rebellion in the republican circles that we usually identify with newt gingrich. so, i have a high regard for dole. he was great patriot and a great leader in the '8s8s so. i lyndon johnson was a -- will always be r

conversation around data privacy, security, ip protection you see tim cook at apple write about this a lotteecently. and you see companies talk about it you can take it back to facebook they talked about putting more resources to data, privacy protection i think there's more focus on this from an investor point of view, what's the incremental cost attached to make sure data is protected and ip is protected. >> let's dig into that more. one of the conversations we had multiple times on this show last week, maybe the risk of regulation here in the u.s. had abated, in light of all of the gridlock in d.c., can't even get a partial government shutdown ended right now. on the flip side, senator marco rubio comes out with a privacy bill yesterday is this still very much on the table? >> i think so, i'll let the politician experts comment specifically on that but i will say it is one of the top topics we talk about to boards and executives, how exactly is that going to play out, and what it means for incremental hiring, cost, data protection all of that, what it means to the business model and what

i share the president's sentiment that a lott of allies need to shart in that effort.need to stay on offense and we need to stay engaged. >> i toptt ask you about where you are in the debate about steve king. in terms of finally deciding they had enough of his racism, what do you say about that. >> i have been very public in denouncing his statements, i voted for the resolution that said there was no place for that in american society. i don't know what else to say beyond that accept that i support and applaud my leadership and the republican party and whether it is statements viewed as ray sis, anti anti-semetic, i think we need to stand up and denounce them. >> thank you for talking to us, i look forward to more conversations with you. coming up, more on this bomb shell report that michael cohen, the president's former attorney paid a tech chairman to rig polls. o rig polls. ♪and shakin' me up so ♪that all i really know ♪is here you come again, and here i go, here i go♪ here we come again. applebee's all you can eat is back. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood

shutdown began, and that can cause more problems because ntsb says, quote, important evidence is being lottce could prevent future accidents and save countless lives. that's not all. the commandant of the coast guard said, quote, it's ub acceptable that coast guard men and women have to rely on food pantries and donations to get through day to day life as service members. the fbi agents association released a 72-page report detailing the ways it's harder to keep us all safe. for example, remember how ms-13 say big part of president trump's push for the wall? well, the fbi can no longer pay for translators and informants to track that gang. stopping some investigations in their tracks. to add one final note to the desperate uncertainty of it all, the president's former chief of staff john kelly who was working in the west wing when the shutdown began just signed a letter with other former homeland security chiefs calling the shutdown unkongs coconscion god forbid we have a tragedy without the ability to report. even the president knows this shut show is making the country less safe and secur

. >> trent lott, who showed up at the birthday party and what he had told folks, sort of an offhandedoke about i would have voted for strong. the country would have been better off with him. he lost his leadership position. i will tell you one thing about strom thurmond is that there is a sort of new way of looking at him from the senate historians over there in terms of, not so much his civil rights stances, but some of the other things that senator thurmond began to be known for over there. senator packwood lost his job because of some improprieties towards women. again, only 52 women have ever served in the u.s. senate. it's been a men's club for all these years. it's been slowly changed. -- slow to change. it's interesting, they have a different way of looking at senator thurmond than they used to. >> how are the stories of senator thurmond going into reception, grabbing a handful of shrimp, putting them in his pocket, going back to his office and offering them to staff? >> i believe my friend bob riley, who witnessed it firsthand, saw him put it in his pocket. i don't know if he

you were working for president bush when trent lott made his statement that strom thurmond, how much off would we have been if he had become president, and george w. bush said this is unacceptable, no, and he resigned. >> part of the problem is we think -- this does not have a parallel on the left. there just -- it doesn't. there isn't. there isn't a strain of racism on the left. i don't -- so i think that this gets brushed under the rug. people sort of tolerate -- it's been normalized. like you just said, they don't have anywhere else to go, so they attach to the republican party. the republican party doesn't have to let them. how -- how do -- how do republicans sort of get back to doing something decent? >> they would have to completely reinvent the party. look, i don't think they had a road to damascus conversion over the last couple days and decided they were going to finally try to hold steve king accountable. what happened -- >> he says that stuff in the iowa papers. his mistake was doing it in the "times." >> control of the house changed and democrats were going to sanction hi

i'm going to, you know, have your kids kidnapped or i'm going to break your legs -- i prosecute a lott of otion cases. i'll give you an example. when the president said, please go easy on flynn, i know of no obstruction case that begins with the word please. it goes something like this, i you don't go easy on flynn, i'll brk your kneecaps. an obstruction case has to involve some degree of corrupt act other than just making request or just exercising a legal function. barr is a unique lawyer. he's a superior lawyer. so i wouldn't -- if i were one of these lawyers arguing about this on television, i wouldn't go against bill barr. >> fair enough. rudy giuliani, i'm going to end it there. i appreciate the time and appreciate you coming on. >> you got if. joining me now is the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee, senator mark warner of virginia. welcome back tome the press." >> morning. >> obviously as a virginia senator, the shutdown is first and foremost on your mind. i get it. it's part of the reason why we wanted you on this mornin but mr. jougiuliani seemed to m news this

given that getting the british egg out of the eu on lott was always to be a very tricky operation, sothat is basically nowhere. there is no solution on the table. the british parliament has rejected the deal on the table. 0n the other side, nobody wa nts a the table. 0n the other side, nobody wants a no deal. i think this would be extremely risky because it would be extremely risky because it would be very costly, and what is also clear is that there cannot be a border between ulster and ireland. apart from that everything is unclear and my own sense, and i'm not speaking for europe or brussels, but we have to do what we have often been doing in europe in cases of crisis, and stop the clock. let's consider stopping the clock in a second because i want to ask you about the prospect of a no—deal brexit because there are still parliamentarians here who are saying this is not the disaster some people may get out to be banned because of the rules of trade that could be offered by the wto, this is something the uk could get used to quickly. what is your response? my response has always been

i was -- i was a pretty young staffer for then-congressman trent lott in 1981 when i first became aware that there was such a thing as the march for life. i can assure you it will be much more massive this year than it was back in those early days when americans were struggling with what roe v. wade meant and when they weren't quite so sure what the science was about this practice of abortion. as each year passes, as more and more parents see that sonogram, as more and more grandparents -- and i'm a grandparent of six now. i'm buddy to six beautiful grandchildren. as we see those sonograms early on, we see the feet and we see the heartbeat and we see the faces of these children, we realize as americans, and more and more americans are coming to the realization that this is a living human that deserves protection. and senator blunt was accurate in saying we have good polling. a polling is coming around to our way. even if some people considered themselves to be pro-choice, you dove down into the figures and you asked them the questions, it turns out they aren't quite so proabortion as pe

announcer 1: republican trent lott takes the position as the senate changes hands once again. >> republicansontrol, they organized of the senate, republican senators chaired the committee's. then in may, you get hints something will happen. >> i will leave the republican party and become an independent. control of the senate -- >> for the first time in senate history, the senate was reorganized again under a democratic majority. tom daschle becomes majority leader and switches over to his party control. it was a really interesting time in the senate which has changed every single day. you hardly knew what would happen. the 2000 election with the 50-50 split and moving to the events of 2001 that came later that year, it was a precursor of other crises to come. >> ♪ land that i love >> the senate is a body that rises to meet the crisis. joint resolution 23 to authorize the use of united states armed forces against those responsible for the recent attacks. >> what it did during that time. have to are times we act decisively. the american people will accept nothing less. >> 98 senators have vote

off to striking a deal with outgoing president joseph kabila fairly exactly said he never met john lott today felix who is calling himself the president is behind kabila our worry is that the shadow of joseph kabila is behind felix she security it is not felix who will lead the country it is kabila it is kabila who will run the government lets up with the absolute felix of not when he is not our president because we did not vote for him everyone around the world knows that our president is for you lord that we will continue to come out until our rights are restored if guns are needed we will use guns to claim our victory protest has blocked the road and threw stones outside the headquarters of the. m.l.c. is part of the opposition coalition that put for you to forward as a presidential candidate he was expected to address supporters here but did not appear we construct the secret internationally needed because these effective results we have too little too little if we needed it done to me we face this kind of further court that xan leave for negotiation regarding that we got a list sho

tom daschle and trent lott were the last pair of senate leaders who worked the way they were supposed to. very different philosophies, one a democrat, one a republican, far apart, but they recognized the need to work together to make the senate work, for the senate and for the country. so i have a section in my book about the clinton impeachment trial which shows lott and daschle working together to steer the trial in a way that works for the country. >> let's good back just a little bit nor history. two more. bob doll, lyndon johnson. >> guest: i think bob dole was a terrific senate leader in the '80s. i think he was excessively partisan in the '70s. and he slipped back a little bit in the '90s, when he was starting to run for president and he was facing the rebellion in the republican circles that we usually identified with newt gingrich. so, i have a high rahr for dole. he was a great patriot and he was a great lead their the '80s. lyndon johnson was a -- will always be remembered from careow's great book as the mast over the senate. i think he had much less lasting effect on the s
