>> oh my gosh, david, i can't even believe that maxine waters is head of the financial service committeer potential head. i mean this would be an issue if the g.o.p. didn't control the senate and if president trump didn't have veto power, but he does. so i highly doubt that she can roll back a lot of what has been done in terms of to reform dodd frank. in march of this year, i believe the small banks that were under this heavy burden of regulation and capital requirements under 250 billion, they actually had that removed, the so called systemic failure, too big to fail because they are not. they are small banks. so we want to keep the small banks separate from the big banks, under different regulatory requirements. so i don't think she stands a good chance of getting anything done. it won't pass through the senate. and the president can always veto it. >> yeah, i guess i would sort of echo what heather was saying, but maybe even be a little more optimistic, if you will, in terms of the limited down side here because really there was not much real deregulatory effort in the financial sect

joining me now, congresswoman maxine waters, slated to become the chair of the house financial services. first question to you is, you have been a very vocal critic of jeff sessions, extremely vocal, said he should resign, don't like what he's done at the justice department, your reaction to his firing today? >> well, you know, this action by the president of the united states to fire him is directly connected to the investigation that is being led by mueller. this president is interested in undermining that investigation. stopping that investigation. he has threatened to fire him. of course many of us have been opposed to jeff sessions for a lot of reasons. his racist background, et cetera, et cetera. but this president is focus on him and firing him literally because i think he's putting into action the plan by which to stop the investigation by putting whitaker in as the acting attorney general. so we're talking about a difference situation here. but this is very dangerous. nancy pelosi spoke about it today. for those of us who were willing to see what could be done, to work with thi

it's up maxine waters not with standing it's up to congress to determine what the constitution means. do i think the court would intervene? i'm not sure. i along with most of the people i interviewed, back in 2000 when i was in legal fares in newsweek covering bush v gore thought the court would go anywhere nearer bush v. gore. nothing for the court to get involved in, and everything to stay aweum way from. we were wrong. my predictions were invariably wrong. don't buy the stocks i recommend. but so i could see how the court might intervene but i think it would be terrifically wrong and it could be a high-point for the court in such a hypothetical to say not our jobs, we're staying away, and my question -- i would deny the premise if you had a president for example donald trump a who says they're impeaching me for something that's unimpeachable, i'm sticking around, i'm not sure such a president would abide by a supreme court ruling. and of course, the notion of not leaving office when you're supposed to. which would present a constitutional crisis, a real one. not like a lot of the f

joining me is congresswoman maxine waters from california. i noticed for all the democrats, there has been a unified effort not to play on the president's turf rhetorically. what do you think of that? >> well, i think that we have learned a lot about this president and the way that he manipulates the press and the way that he tries to divert our attention from the real issues. and what we have learned is not to allow him to get away with that. and so i think we are being very successful talking about our issues, talking about health care, which is a very important issue in this country, talking about housing, medicare, social security, talking about the infrastructure, and we are winning because of that. >> california, there are a bunch of competitive races in california. your sort of state caucus might change quite a bit. what does it say about the changing nature of your state that you have these republican-held districts in deeply, deeply conservative formerly conservative orange county that are neck and neck? >> well, what it says is that

kevin: congresswoman maxine waters, talking exclusively to bloomberg. oughts on jeff sessions resigning? rep. waters: i'm just learning that he has entered his retirement or firing or whatever you want to call it, but we also know the president has said over and over again that he wanted to get rid of him. he is mad at him because he recused himself and he wanted him to be his attorney, to protect them from an investigation. i guess the president is going to continue on this trail that he has created to get rid of mueller and that is really appears to be going and that will create a problem. kevin: we will have to leave it there. appreciate it. rep. waters: thank you. a fantastic interview. be thank you. from housing to the federal reserve, a covered a lot of basis. >> it has been quite wild. a wild day and it should be a wild couple of years in financial services. >> we still have a lot of other things to do with other than politics. there is a lot more going on. the fed is meeting tomorrow in washington and we will get a rate decision. most people don'
