lynch. the federal law enforcement officers association, the international association of chiefs of police, the major cities chiefs association, the association of prosecuting attorneys, the fbi agents association supports loretta lynch. a long list of republican and democratic-appointed former u.s. attorneys, including patrick fitzgerald from my state of illinois, a former fbi director appointed by a republican president, a former attorney general from the george w. bush and ministration, the list goes on and on. the fact is, there is no substantive reason to stop this nomination. the republican majority leader announced over the weekend that he was going to hold this nomination of loretta lynch until the bill, which is pending before the senate, passes whenever that may be. and so loretta lynch, the first african-american woman nominated to be attorney general, is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to the senate calendar. that is unfair. it is unjust. it is beneath the decor

to serve as attorney general lynch upon confirmation by the senate. i've had the opportunity to meet with loretta lynch this past january. she and i discussed how the department of justice can do more to give law enforcement the tools it needs also to eliminate witness intimidation, a major issue in cities like philadelphia and others around the country. also we talked about reforming the juvenile justice system and finally reducing tensions between police and law enforcement in the communities they serve. i was very impressed by united states attorney lynch and i believe that she is well-suited to address these and many other issues that she will confront as

caller: loretta lynch. loretta lynch is completely qualified to be the attorney general. however, because she is a black woman, and she is also overly qualified for the job. they don't want her, but you think about it -- congress will not pass and immigration law. however, they don't want to do anything about immigration. basthey say the president is doing too much, but they are not doing anything. we pay them to do nothing, a whole year, and then they come back and do the same thing for another whole year . host: when a center comes out saying he will not support her because she supports the present statements on amnesty, and you just not believe his words on that? caller: i do not believe it. because guess what, they can pass an immigration bill, and obama would be overridden. they just don't want to do a thing. they want to keep playing this game, and all these different incidents -- they are paying attention to what is going on here for us. host: james is up next from newport news, virginia. for republicans. good morning. caller: good morning. i'm calling to say that

andrew lynch: at least in the short term. question is at what point do investors flip them and turn away from deflation to worrying about potential for inflation that has been created by all of the money printed? we will see that first in the very long-term bonds. only earning eight basis points to hold the german bonds 10 years. if it picks up 1%, you could lose money every year for 30 years. jonathan: the ecb -- at what point is it a bet against the ecb? andrew lynch: investors now almost on hold. they may be in "alice in wonderland." on the one hand, central banks say we want to create inflation. on the other hand, by bus to drive interest rates down. as some point, they become incompatible. jonathan: andrew lynch thank you for joining us. we's week 2 -- we speak to the ceo of portugal's largest electrical company. join us into -- in 2. ♪ jonathan: good morning. welcome back to "on the move." i am jonathan ferro. 30 minutes into your trading day. the ftse 100 is down by 0.3%. the dax is up i-40 two points. so big stock mov

i have visited with loretta lynch in person. i observed her throughout the nominations process my brother-in-law worked as an assistant u.s. attorney with her in the eastern district of new york in the late 1990's, and i am impressed like many of my colleagues by her credentials her extensive experience and was gratified to see that the judiciary committee reported her nomination to the floor. i'm disappointed it has taken 124 days to get to this point i was pleased to hear the majority leader indicate the senate may take up her nomination next week, but i think it is important for the nation to recognize how critical this appointment is and how we should not have let it go this long. i want to reflect back to probably the hardest elected office i held or held which was mayor of richmond. when i was a city councilman and mayor from 1994 to 2000, my city had the burden of having the second highest homicide rate in the united states. and we worked in our community together with everyone, especially law enforcement and community le

lynch would replace outgoing attorney general eric holder. meanwhile, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says lynch will receive a vote after democrats and their filibuster of a human trafficking bill. let's bring in susan fariccio, chief congressional correspondent for the washington examiner. good to see you. so what's the real holdup? >> well, i think loretta lynch has sort of become collateral damage in this fight between republicans in congress and the president over immigration. if you will recall, the president issued an executive order, a couple of them so far, that would provide work permits and some federal benefits to millions of people who are now living here illegally. republicans have tried and failed to use the power of the purse to stop the president from doing this, so now they are using another tactic and it's loretta lynch. during her confirmation process, she said she supported the president's executive actions so the lawmakers in the senate are using this as their reason not to support her so she's lost a lot of suppo

lynch. i asked her plainly whether she supported the president's unilateral decision to make his own immigration rules and laws. here is the relevant portion of that hearing transcript. because i wanted to be clear about it. this was in the judiciary committee. and i asked her this as she was there during her confirmation process. quote, "i have to have a clear answer to this question. ms. lynch, do you believe the executive action announced by president obama on november 20 is legal and constitutional? yes or no? ms. lynch: i was read the office of legal counsel opinion. i do believe it is, senator." close quote. well first we need to understand something. i served 15 years as a federal prosecutor in the department of justice. this is the way it works the office of legal counsel is a part of the department of justice. the office of legal counsel is the one that's been credited with writing this pathetic memorandum that justified the president's actions. but the office of legal counsel works

lynch, and all americans an apology. >> president obama nominated lynch 131 days ago. that's longer than any other recent attorney general. it seems every time republicans are ready to schedule a society, what is the holdup? why are we waiting for mid april now? joining me now are clarence page from "the chicago tribune" and mary stitch from emily's list. thank you both for being here. clarence. bottom line what is taking so long? >> the -- not the nomination in the republican leader in the senate wants to pass this trafficking bill first, which democrats have the hyde amendment. it's got a provision that would bar funding for abortions, and this is something that democrats will not tolerate and republicans won't tolerate removing it and mcconnell is going to hold up lo redia lynch's nomination. that's why dick durbin stepped forth and pulled up the imagery of rosa parks, saying it's like pushing her to the back of the bus. that caused tempers to flare even higher. >> mary when you look at the facts, the republicans won the midterm in november the nomination has been 1

president obama's nominee loretta lynch is up to the task. throughout my time in the united states senate, i've seen many qualified nominees, republican and democrats people like janet reno, madeleine albright, colin powell, hillary clinton. loretta lynch is a graduate of harvard law school, is as qualified as any candidate i've seen in my 33 years here in the congress. ms. lynch serves as u.s. attorney for the eastern district of new york. she's been confirmed unanimously to that office by the senate twice most recently in 2010. during her time in the u.s. attorney's office loretta lynch has proven herself to be a tough crime fighter she has prosecuted drug dealers and greedy wall street bankers. she is guardian of the constitution. she takes the protections in the bill of rights seriously. almost two decades ago she came to the justice of a haitian immigrant physically assaulted by police officers acting outside the law. lynch is part of the constitutional criminal trillion trillion -- tribunal for rwanda, for the genocide carried out in rw

but today, he urged senate republicans to knock off the delays and just vote for lynch. >> lynch currently serves as a federal prosecutor in brooklyn. giuliani was manhattan's top prosecutor for six years, so he knows her, which he mentioned in discussing her strengths in this same letter today. >> joining me now to discuss this controversy, joy reid and jeremy peters. good evening to all of you. what does it take for republicans to be failing the rudy standard? >> if obama only had been a prosecutor instead of a law professor. i think it's really interesting. rudy wants to obviously protect somebody of his own ranks, a prosecutor, show that prosecutors here in the federal system are qualified to have a job like this. he's a former federal prosecutor. perhaps he could be somebody's a.g. one day. but i think the situation with loretta lynch is so out of control and so surprising to so many people. the fact that he's come out in support of her should be a big wakeup call. >> it is nice to know that rudy giuliani has found an african-american he doesn't think is criminal or a hater of their o

lynch's nomination. i've been here long enough to know we can debate legislation and vote on nominations at the same time. otherwise urges last thursday we voted on four other executive nominations while we were on the human trafficking bill we're telling going to vote on two more executive nominations this evening while we're on the human trafficking bill. it all serves to agree -- it's important to confirm loretta lynch as our nation's top law enforcement officer. she has a proven track record of prosecuting human trafficking and child rape crimes. this is not somebody who just talks about it, how much they are opposed to human trafficking, as though anybody's in favor of human trafficking. this is not someone who just says she's opposed to child rape cases, as though anybody here is going to say they're in favor of it. she has actually prosecuted them. over if course of the last -- the course of the last decade the u.s. attorney's office ms. lynch leads has indicted over 55 defendants in sex trafficki

president obama nominated loretta lynch and then he nominated ash carter. the two of them both sailed through their confirmation hearings. there have been no substantive objections to either of them but you want to know the difference between them? the difference between them now is he has already been confirmed as defense secretary, and is working as our nation's defense secretary. she's still waiting for a vote. he's been confirmed long enough already that he's already started delaying the end of one of our wars. the war in afghanistan. ash carter is on the job and unending wars anywhere. loretta lynch, she's not even had a vote in the senate. sme she is still waiting. and now senate republicans say they're not going to vote on her nomination until democrats give in on a totally unrelated piece of legislation that has nothing to do with her and that both parties are fighting about right now in congress. republicans are holding her nomination hostage on that unrelated matter. you know, when you read about this on its merits inexplicable treatment of lorett

lynch's race should have no impact on her consideration in this body. those six judges were approved by this body because each of them showed a commitment to justice public service and the people of arizona. each also demonstrated the judicial temperament and professional demeanor necessary to serve with integrity. i further point out to the senator from illinois that at no time as the majority leader ever indicated that he would not bury a lynch nomination to the floor. in fact, the opposite history. we have made it clear time and again that we will consider the lynch nomination once we have disposed of the bipartisan trafficking bill. the senator from illinois in my colleagues on the other side of the aisle and i filibuster the bill and could it consider the lynch nomination this week. i deeply regret that the senator from illinois chose to come here yesterday and question the integrity and motivation, mine and my republican colleagues. it was offensive and unnecessary and i think he has this body ms. lynch and all americans an apology. mr. president,

and we talked about the delay between lynch's nomination and her floor vote. she's now also facing a record delay between getting committee approval and a floor vote. it's been 18 days congressman meeks, 18 days since the judiciary committee voted to confirm loretta lynch, more than twice as long as anyone else and that could be about to get much longer. i mean will this tragedy fire on republicans politically, congressman, in your view? >> well, i think that the american people should stand up and will backfire as we move forward. you know, look at the hypocrisy of the republican in mcconnell. mcconnell asked the president, and said to slow down on the appointment back in november. he put loretta up in november and in december he said why don't wait until the republicans take over and then he will handle her in regular order? and here we are, they playing politics, stretching this out, as you said not only -- she's got through the committee finally and now from the committee to getting a full hearing on the floor. the longest period of time. and the only expl

what is the president doing to get lynch confirmed? senior administration officials we know there have been presidential-level conversations about getting lynch confirmed. i expect that type of outreach will continue in the coming days. we saw the president escalate his rhetoric this weekend in his weekly address. he urged congress to confirm lynch and has also accused republicans of holding her nomination hostage. so really strong language there. the president made some of his most forceful comments on the subject in an interview with the huffington post. >> they say they're holding up her nomination until they get to this human trafficking bill with a controversial abortion provision in it. would you encourage democrats to let the bill go through so you can get a confirmation. >> you don't hold attorney general nominees hostage for other issues. >> reporter: there you heard some of that strong language. i think you will continue to see the president make the case for lynch publicly and privately. we'll see him speak about it more thi

lynch.resident obama should be commended for choosing an attorney general nominee who is well qualified, well fall qualified in every respect. though she lives in new york city she is a citizen of north carolina. her father, whom i have known most of my life, is a native of martin county, north carolina, from the town of oak city, which is right in the heart of my congressional district. the lynch family has deep roots. ms. lynch has a 30-year distinguished career. she is a well respected lawyer and federal prosecutor in the eastern district of new york which serves eight million people throughout brooklyn and queens, staten island and long island. loretta lynch is consistently recognized among her peers as fair, tough and independent lawyer who has twice headed the toughest u.s. attorney's office. she has a tough record of hate crimes and public corruption without regard to political party or affiliation. and she has a reputation of being committed to human rights and ensuring equal opportu

lynch's confirmation vote.hetoric has no place in this body and serves no purpose other than to further divide us. >> with us to discuss what's going on gloria borger and athena jones. did he reply to that? >> he did reply. he didn't apologize, which is what senator mccain wanted. i can tell you this race talk is not new. you have folks who for years even before the lynch nomination before the president nominated lynch who believed on the hill and off the hill that race has something to do with the way that the other party, the republican party, has treated president obama, treated eric holder and is now treating loretta lynch. this isn't new but certainly it hasn't so far been helpful in moving the ball forward. all it's done is really ramp up the heat. i think this is a case of political tactics that have gone wrong and that are creating a real mess. >> it is a real mess. this woman has been waiting a long time for confirmation after a distinguished career as the u.s. attorney in new york. >> she's had a dist

among the quotes in the book man, that tree is so perfect for lynching.nough she doesn't need a pulse. it comes a week after this video of members of sae fraternity in oklahoma went viral. and days after penn state fraternity members were caught with what law enforcement say is a secret facebook page with lewd photos of unconscious women. susan, there seems to be an epidemic of bad behab your at fraternities around the country. should frats be abolished altogether? >> well i'd hate to see that because i think fraternities and sororities can be places where, you know people can find a community, where they can do charity work where they can have parties. there's nothing inherently wrong with that. it's just that they've let them get out of control. and we've seen this on a lot of campuses especially with sexual assault and that facebook page thing was just appalling to me that they could get away with doing that. i think one of the things that's happened now is because of social media, we're finding out about some of these things that maybe we didn't know

lynch's confirmation vote.toric has no place in this body and serves no purpose other than too further divide us. >> julie, the white house has long been furious about how long their presidential nominees have sat on the sidelines waiting for a vote in situations like this. what are they saying about the latest situation? >> they are equally frustrated perhaps more so in the delay for lynch. there's joking going on how the president said eric holder who is really just despised by a lot of republicans will stay in his job as attorney general until lynch gets confirmed and they hoped maybe that would give republicans an incentive to move lynch forward. what you heard with durbin and mccain, these are two positions that regardless of what's happening with the human trafficking bill you're going to hear from democrats arguing that there is a racial element to this that this is obviously tied up in politics. the democrats have been trying to paint republicans as anti-minority, republicans have acknowledge they have

confirm lynch. "why is this taking so long senator coons? >> there is no good explanation for the remarkable delay. it's longer than any comparable attorney general nomination. there was, i think, no disagreement significant disagreement from republican members of the committee during her eight-hour confirmation hearing. she was composed. she was professional. she was diligent. the issue that they raised over and over had to do with the president's executive order on immigration. not her competency. not her qualifications. i think she'll be a terrific attorney general. and i think if we keep up the pressure we will inevitably see her confirmed. >> senatorcoons, thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you, great to be with you. >>> flow let's bring in congressman greg meeks, democrat of new york who was in selma this weekend as well. and salon.com's joan walsh. thank you, both for being here. >> good being with you, rev. >> congressman, a lot of your republican colleagues who went to selma with all of us don't want to work on voting rights.

. >> loretta lynch the first african-american woman nominated to be attorney general is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to senate calendar that sun fair. -- that is unfair. it is unjust. it is beneath the decorum and dignity of u.s. senate. lou: well his critics agree with him saying his remarks are beneath the decorum and dignity of the senate, if there is any left. we talk with republican senator david sreutder, we begin with netanyahu's victory, president obama has yet to congratulate him, delegates the task to secretary kerry. three others allies have already offered congratulations including prime minister of britain, and canada and india. joining us is congressman. polls were wrong talking with former ambassador of u.s., he said that polls were always wrong in israel. but, this is really a decisive victory, what does this mean for israel its national security, and policies they will follow going forward? >> prime minister clearly is very strong on national security. that is what drove him to calm address the joint session of congress on march 3 the israels as

lynch's nomination deserves such a delay delay. instead, her nomination is being used by many to continue their fight with the president over his immigration policy. this after nearly shutting down the department of homeland security because of those same disagreements. while we do need to have a focused and functional debate in this congress about immigration it's simply irresponsible to hold up a highly qualified nominee for attorney general because some don't like that she agrees with the very president who nominated her. madam president, i take seriously the senate's role to advise and consent on presidential nominations so let's take a minute to just look at loretta lynch's experience, her background. she's a graduate of harvard college and harvard law school. she spent eight years in private practice as a stress teejous law firm then known as hogan and hartson. she served on the united nations international criminal tribunal for rwanda. she served the public and had previously been unanimously confirmed by this body, twice, i
