and also mike lee who pressed very hard. orrin hatch and mike lee. the people of utah appreciate what i did for them. hundreds and hundreds of miles of park that they'll be able to now use as a poster not. so i was surprised that mitt romney, but i hope it's going to be a team player. if he's a team player, that'll be great. i will say this. if he fought really hard against president obama like he does against me, he would've won the election. does that make sense to you? if you thought the way he fights me, i'm telling you he would have won the election. but i think he's going to end up being a team player. i think he agrees with many of the things we've done in many things we have in mind and we'll see what happens. >> i was a little bit from the president at his cabinet meeting earlier today. again, he is currently meeting with house and senate leaders regarding the government shutdown. their meeting in the situation room at the white house. if they come up to the the microphone and the drivers afterwards we will make sure to capture that. send us

senator mike lee from utah, senator cory booker from new jersey, showed this film to capitol hill. >> what was the response, rudy? >> it was actually kind of scary, because a few days before, we were like, we don't have any rsvps, nobody is coming. nobody wants to see this. then we showed up to a full house. it was amazing. i don't want to say too much about the film. i think you should see it. it is worth a watch, because it is transformative. it is a film about mass incarceration and sentencing, but it is a film about hope. it is a film about love. it is a film that takes this issue and does not politicize it. obviously we don't know where people are standing and what they are voting for, but this is a hearts and minds film. as a country, we need to look at this with our heart and there needs to be a cultural shift that we can no longer watch this happened and watch people profit on the backs of black and brown people, poor people across this country. we cannot let people make money off the backs of this. >> thank you. very powerful. talk about having an impact. so, i am going to as

>> mike lee, ellie, melody have turned in speaker cards. >> two minutes please. use the lower microphone. that will be turned on for you. >> i am michael lee. formerly homeless person. i am one you have the few experts in this room about some of the things you are talking about. have you been homeless? why are you fooling with this issue? what is your going about this is all stick. we are going to regulate this, pass this law, criminalize this, do this and that. this gentleman says it is complaint driven. that is nice. complaint driven. anybody go to the vehicle dwellers and say the neighbors have a concern about this behavior. if you don't correct it, we are going to have to regulate the street. scent that reasonable and -- isn't that reasonable? isn't that humanitarian? no, not this city. this city has a mayor that says we are going to throw you in jail, run you off, throw your things in the trash. you act like people have an option. this commission member i asked why is this taking so long? let's go back to the super bowl 15 days. pier 80 was open. within four

of staff to mike lee.e know that president trump is a scrapper, he lodge personal insults, derogatory nicknames, an unconventional method that worked for him in 2016 many will this style work for the president again? >> i think the president needs to pivot a little bit in terms of getting to policy issues. those are the keys in terms of a re-elect. while everything will go on on the democratic side in terms of who's in, who's out, they'll have a circular firing squad at each other, as the republicans did in 2016. so what the president should do is take a step above the fray and say let's talk about policy, let's talk about the economy which i think will be the real driving force when we look at 2020. arthel: that's a good point you make there. scott, your turn now. considering the early snapshot of potential and actual democratic candidates, who stands the best chance of challenging president trump and why? >> well, whoever gets in, you only have like three candidates right now, trust me, there will be mor

it's what the american people want 1249 let me tell you why the cotton and mike lee said they didn'te for the bill today >>> cotton said it gives legal status to illegal aliens without first securing the borders, mike lee added the bill doesn't do enough to reform the immigration situation and address the crisis at the border. >> they're both i think the best in the u.s. senate on us immigration. they don't like the idea that the administration seems to be inching toward a type of amnesty >>> this is not amnesty. this is part of trying to find the middle ground to help negotiate and bring the democrats to the table. you've seen some of these freshmen democrats getting real nervous and pressuring nancy pelosi. but nancy pelosi is in complete denial. and the she will do -- she does not care about the federal workers, about the have you never able families, she does not care about those american people that have been impacted. >> laura: she didn't go to kate steinle's funeral did she? >>> the angel moms knocked on her office door and didn't receive a greeting from nancy pelosi or chuck

on this issue, it's what the american people want rates we would let me tell you why cotton and mike leeaid they do not vote for the g.o.p. bell. cotton set i could not support it because it gives legal status to illegal aliens without and a chain migration. mike lee said it does not do enough to reform the immigration system and address the graces of our southern border. they are both great in the immigration issue. they are both the best in the u.s. senate and immigration. they don't like this idea, clearly, the administration seems to be inching toward some type of amnesty to get the government reopened. >> this is not amnesty. this was part of trying to find that middle ground to help negotiate and bring the democrats to the table. what we have seen that you've seen some of these freshman democrats getting real nervous and pressuring nancy pelosi. nancy pelosi is in complete denial. she does not care about the federal workers. she does not care about the vulnerable families. she does not care about those american families that have been -- >> laura: she didn't go to kate steinle's fa

here is utah senator mike lee. also author of "written out of history," thank you for joining us. mike and i are friends. the senator and i both having represented the state of utah. his mitch mcconnell right? i was a bit critical of the majority leader for not voting on the house bill that did pass with border wall funding of $5 billion. what's the right answer? >> i would rather vote. if the question is should we vote or not, i say let's cast a vote. sometimes there's a good reason to cast a vote even if you're not sure that it's going to pass. sometimes setting the record for who was where on that vote is helpful. it moves the legislative process forward. i think it would help us end to shut down faster. >> jason: i concur because i really think -- what's frustrating is you don't see was actually on the record here. how are you going to get past this impasse? nancy pelosi has been working on her hula and now she's the speaker in the house is adjourned until tuesday. they are not even coming back until tuesday. >

and at the time, senator mike lee from utah objected so it did not go through.nd, so this whole year, there has been an effort to address that, because the eeoc hasn't had a republican majority since the beginning of the johnson administration. which, in the business community they very much wanted to see. so they see an effort to get my nomination together with the other two through. but that did not happen, in fact senator mike lee took to the senate floor to describe a person that i did not recognize even though it's supposedly me. and senator patty murray saying why this is important not just for me but for the eeoc. but the eeoc will continue to operate, you know? in terms of taking in charges and trying to help people as soon as the government reopens. and that is one important thing. we started a conversation. i feel so proud that i was able to work with my republican colleagues and we have worked well in a bipartisan manner for nine years. and we started a conversation, and we started an effort. i don't plan to leave this field, you know? i had an offer

there were two republican defections there, tom cotton of arkansas and mike lee of utah. and then the procedural vote was 52-44 and there were six republican defection, lamar alexander, susan collins of maine, cory gardner, milt romney with and lisa murkowski of alaska. consider this, david. that the democratic plan got more votes than the republican plan and number two, there were more republican defections voting for the democratic plan. the democratic plan was to open the government through the 28th of february where they go off stage and try to work this out. that's what lindsey graham is suggesting. i just followed chuck summer out of mitch mcconnell's office abts aabout an hour and a half d 13 times, that's all the he would say, he said, quote, we're talking. we're walking. we're talking. we're talking. at the end of the day it's about the math. going to have to have 60 votes in the senate and they're going to have to have the president willing to sign something. david: and the short three-week plan, tell us about it? >.>> it would reopen the government at a continu

this is an american enterprise institute, and walking down there and i go in the room and there is mike lee and john cordon with cory booker and another democrat talking about criminal justice. i said this is interesting i will park year and i heard a statistic that blew my mind was that for african-american men who don't graduate from high school, the odds of being incarcerated or 30%. they will touch the system at some point in their life but 30% of these young men are in prison right now and for those who don't graduate from high school, 68 percent will be in prison. it was like a lightbulb going off in my head. i care about education because i care about our communities and economic opportunity and justice and all this stuff. i can't just focus on education without taking on this other thing. the other thing, i remember, jason had been chirping at me and it finally resonated and get smart on this. then jeff mccormick who works with me, we spent about a year and planted seeds with the marshall project and families against mandatory minimums and connect it with other philanthropists. and

outing myself as a right of amter somewhat, although i as kind i am walking in the room and there is mike lee and john cordon with cory booker. another democrat better, and there were talking about criminal justice. so i thought i would just work myself there and listen. statistic that blew my mind. for african-american men who don't graduate from high school, their odds of being incarcerated are 30%. 30% of these men are in prison right now. for those who don't graduate from high school, 68% will be in prison at some point in their lives. it was like a lightbulb going off in my head. i said, ok, i care about education because i care about our communities, economic opportunity, justice, all this stuff. just focus on education without taking on this other thing. and remember, jason had been chirping me about this for some time, and is finally resonated. i said, i have to call jason and get smart on this. be really spent about a year, planted seeds with the martial project, the brennan center, families against mandatory minimums, we connected with other philanthropists, from the ,och brothers,

among the republican nos tom cotton from arkansas and mike lee, the republican from utah.nother vote will start in a minute. these were these competing side by side plans. republicans first, that failed. this would reopen the government through the end of september. fund the border wall, provide provisions for democrat recipients. now the democrats with a temporary bill which would fund the government through february 28. this is a procedural vote, shep. needs 60 yays. we expect some republican defections here. we're looking at going back to my list, susan collins of maine, lisa murkowski of alaska and gory gardner of colorado. both of these will fail, but the key here is that the senate is taking its first votes on ending the government shut down since late december, before christmas. these are markers that the senate is throwing down to say, we can't get the 60 votes on either republican plan or a democratic plan, shep. >> shepard: john bussey, unusual for mitch mcconnell specifically to bring anything up that is not going to get the president's signature. this is happen

how investors are going to view all of this over the next couple days, let's bring in mike lee of altium get something done with the chinese. and markets more and more seem to be pressuring and putting pressure on the administration, if you will, to get something done. but the chinese don't seem to be ready to deal with the issue of i.p. theft. they don't seem to be ready to be opening up their markets to u.s. investment. >> well, they're getting there. so they're expected to grow at roughly 6 6% 6 gdp growth this , which is half of what it was in 2011. if china were to slow down to 3 or 4% like what we see here, they'd run the risk -- to them, that's a recession. they run the risk of a popular uprising. what's slowing them down is not only the trade pressure from the u.s. but they're a closed economy, a merchant economy run by communists. the communists want it centrally planned and centrally controlled. you run into capacity constraints. the u.s. economy is the freest, fairest trader in the world, that's why we're the most powerful. cheryl: the pressure may come from ceos across the co

guys mike lee, we come up against it every day. isn't it an effort to destroy your reputation and character if they can rather than engage. >> i would argue it's probably the same reason you have a hard time to get a liberal sitting in this chair. i'll converse and debate anybody. i am open. one of the things i was when i played, i was coachable. i would listen to anybody about anything. it would make me better. my this fothirst for knowledge e same. military history is my passion outside of sports. i readk probably -- my mom taugt me how to speed read. i've got a stack of books. i read about a book a night and it's -- i find something i don't know. and then i'll read it. because a book is just someone elsed interpretation of something that i can look up myself. but i want different perspectives and viewpoints. especially where we are now. you look at where this country is now, and -- mark: where is this country now? >> as conservatives we're up against a group of people who don't have any forethought, who don't think ahead. you ca

also for mike lee. hundreds of miles of park. i was surprised with mitt romney. i hope he will be a team player. i will say this, if he fought really hard against president obama like he does against me, he would have won the election. does that make sense to you? if he fought the way he fights me, i'm telling you he would have won the election. i think he's going to end up being a team player. i think he agrees with many of the things that we have done and many of the things we have in mind. we'll see what happens. >> in afghanistan, you have won isis in syria but in afghanistan -- what role does india -- >> i think india should be involved. you can talk about our generals. i gave them all the money they wanted. they didn't to do such a great job. they have been fighting for 19 years. general mattis thanked me for betting him $7 $700 billion. he couldn't believe it. our military was depleted. general mattis was so thrilled. what's he done for me? how has he done in afghanistan? not too good. not too good. i'm not happy with what he's done in afghanistan and i sh

. >> the president's plan did not have the support of republicans mike lee or tom cotton and separately six other republicans broke with their party leaders to support the democratic plan, which doesn't have any new border wall money or protections for dreamers brought to the country illegally. lamar alexander, lisa murkowski, susan collins and mitt romney voted to fund the government for two weeks. but the plan was no good because they know president trump will not sign it. >> you can try to teach a goat how to climb a tree but you're better off hiring a squirrel in the first place. the trump proposal will security the border and get government open and the schumer proposal will do neither. >> we have no idea what is next. there's been a real lack of leadership level negotiations as this vote was put on the calendar, but just in the last few minutes, chuck schumer, the minority leader said on the floor that mitch mcconnell has requested to meet with him in his office sometime soon. so if there is going to be a different kind of compromise, we might know in a little bit. neil? >> neil:

orrin hatch and mike lee the people of utah really appreciate what i did for them hundreds and hundreds of miles of park that they'll be able to now use as opposed to not. and so i was surprised at mitt romney i hope he's going to be a team player if he's a team player, that will be great i will say this, if he fought really hard against president obama like he does against me, he would have won the election does that make sense to you? if he fought the way he fights me, i'm telling you, he would have won the election. but i think he's going to end up being a team player. i think he agrees with many of the things we've done and many of the things we have in mind. we'll see what happens go ahead, afghanistan. [ inaudible question >> i think india should be involved in afghanistan. i'll give you an example you can talk about our generals, i gave all our generals all the money they want and they didn't do a great job in afghanistan. they've been fighting in afghanistan for 19 years general mattis thanked me for getting him $716 billion he couldn't believe it because our military was deplet

and we'll see if the members like ted cruz and mike lee show up and give it to him a little bit. >> it'dd the opportunity to work on something that impacts -- kennedy: last word. >> they're going to treat this like a campaign ad for -- kennedy: of course they are. absolutely. and klobuchar, she's going to do the same thing. >> right. she's there too. kennedy: she's the dark horse. booker and harris, she is, and i think she tends to come off as a little bit more thoughtful with her questions, but she and kavanaugh, they mixed it up a little bit. >> and cory booker has a new girlfriend, apparently. kennedy: it's not lady liberty. good to see you. >>> president trump's issuing a remarkably stern warning to turkey, if you mess with our kurdish allies, there will be hell to pay. in a tweet yesterday the president said, quote: starting the long overdue pullout from syria while hitting the little remaining isis territorial cally face hard. we'll attack hard again from nearby base if it reforms. we'll devastate turkey economically if they hit the kurds. the turks also consider the kurds to be th

it would be a question for people like senator rand paul and mike lee, two major libertarians in the senate, who are trump backers in some ways, and say -- ask what do you think of this proposal given that, well, you support trump in some ways, but other -- this is, you know, clearly unconstitutional. >> there's often the line that's drawn even among members of the same party when the president and members of congress are of the same party. it's when the president tries to usurp the powers designated to and for the -- for congress when the line often is drawn. tiffany, i want you to listen to the president's exchange with april ryan on empathy and the hardship 800,000 workers are facing either being furloughed or asking to be working without pay. >> you're saying months, if not years, for the shutdown. do you have in mind a safety net for those who need their checks? >> the safety net is having a strong border because we're going to be safe. many of the people you're discussing, i really believe that they agree with what we're doing. >> the last segment offered without any evidence.

keep in mind yesterday two republican senators voted against the gop plan, mike lee of utah and tom cotton have to get that clearance first. then it would move to the house of representatives. i'm told that would likely move by a voice vote. that is little different. those opposed everybody hollers yea and those opposed nay. the key thing in the opinion of the chairs ayes have it. that is what you hear from the presiding officer. we expect that sometime no later than 9:00 tonight in the house of representatives. you need the president to sign it. now the 64,000-dollar question is, are we back here in three weeks time? i asked kevin mccarthy house majority leader last hour, if he thought the president's threat to go to the mat again is credible? he said yes. there is very important ingredient to the measure they will move through the house and senate later tonight. we're dealing with a cr, continuing resolution. it is a bandaid to open the government on a temporary basis. all it does renew all the funding levels at the old spending figures. the side part of this is something called a motion

republican senator tom cotton immigration hard liner voted no, senator mike lee, utah republican also voting no. >> i mean, it's very important to frame this a little differently from the way some people have. i've been traveling lately and when you travel you are asking for the tsa to help you and keep you secure and if you leave the country, the border patrol and customs do. all of those people are working without being paid. is that what we've become as a country? in many ways it's us against our own civil servants. this is not a hard problem. this could be solved. it's the president who decided to use the leverage of blackmail to get through his vision of border security. >> how so? >> because he decided after the c.r. -- the continuing resolution was passed by the house and the senate, he decided, i'm not going to sign it, which meant they've have to get higher thresholds of votes. he's the one who injected the border issue into this. our government would be functioning and because the american people in november and elections matter said we want divided government and what does

other but i believe your intentions are well and your policies might be misguided in the way that mike leernyn and graham and grassley have been incredible partners changing the american reality. i hope you can be that kind of partner too. i hope you and i can have a heart to heart trusting that we want the same end for all community, safety and security, but a justice system that is fair to all american systems. >> i'd welcome that. >> thank you, sir. >> senator blackburn? >>> we'll pull away from this for just a moment. the special coverage of william barr there who is the president's pick for attorney general in this country because we want to get you to another huge story up on capitol hill as well from the house floor, republican congressman steve king who has been under fire for his latest racist remarks involving white nationalism when he was doing an interview with the "new york times," he just took to the floor and speaking before his colleagues holding this disapproval vote that this resolution of disapproval against him which he will be voting for meaning he'll be voting in favo

. >> because the senior senator from utah, mike lee, said he's likely going to endorse the president.ink it's early to make that decision and i want to see what the alternatives are. but i pointed out, there are places where we agree on a whole series of policy fronts, but there are places that i think the president can -- if you will, elevate his game. and do a better job to help bring us together as a nation. >> is there any chance you might emerge as an alternative to president trump and run against him for president in the primaries in 2020? >> no. you may have heard, i ran before. i've had that experience. and, by the way, i acknowledge the president was successful. and i was not. he did something i couldn't do. he won. and i recognize that and appreciate that. but no, i'm not running again. and we'll see whether someone else does in a republican primary or not. but time will tell. >> you said in march of 2016, because there was a whole big thing in 2012, kids out there might not remember this. but when you ran for president, donald trump wanted to endorse you, you wanted him to
