mr. warren: it means they can come back in -- amy: even though they waved away -- mr. rren: those people have a problem -- they will have to apply to this government's state department, which i do not think will allow them to come back in, which is also troubling. one government lets them come back in, another kicks them out and does not let them come back in, even though the policy is now frozen and blocked by a court. amy: during oral allotments, justice department lawyer august flentje question the role of the court in reviewing the president's actions. august flentje: the reason we saw immediate relief and a stay is because of the court -- the district court's decision overrides the national security judgment about the level of risk . we have been talking about the level of risk that is acceptable. as soon as we are having that discussion, it should be acknowledged that the president is the official that is charged with making those judgments. i would also like to -- there you arguing, then president's decision in that regard is unreviewable. august flentje: the --a

mr. warren: it is an extraordinary decision.ith president trump trying to jam through these unwanted executive orders -- we were trying to petition the courts to have the final say on what his authority is, and also, the wisdom, veracity, and legality of what he is trying to do. the court took clear positions for which you have talked about, but i think they are significant. the trump administration took the position this order was unreasonable by any federal court anywhere. -- unrnreviewable by any federal court anywhere. that sounds like george bush because when the court said they have the authority, they cited our case, the center for constitutional rights case that went to the supreme court for that very principle. the court did not take on the first amendment claim of whether this was religious them at -- dissemination, but they really did not have to. primararily, the government put forward no evidence at all that was related to terrorism coming from the seven countries. as you pointed out, zero cominge of any people from

mr. president, i would yield the floor. ms. warren: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts. ms. warren: thank you, mr. president. i rise today to express my strong opposition to the nomination of senator jeff sessions to serve as attorney general of the united states. and i ask, where are the senators who will say no to the nomination of senator jeff sessions as attorney general of the united states? i hope there are at least enough senators here who understand that america is careening over a constitutional cliff and that all of us -- all of us -- regardless of political party need an attorney general who can be relied on to enforce the laws fairly and to fight back against lawless overreach by an out-of-control president. on january 27, the world turned upside down for tens of thousands of people directly affected by president trump's executive order turning back -- america's back on refugees around the world and immigrants from seven muslim-majority countries. last week i called many of their -- i told many of their st

mr. mcconnell: senator warren was giving a lengthy speech. she had appeared to violate the rule. she was warned. she was given an explanation. nevertheless, she persisted. i yield the floor.

mrs. warren. mr. whitehouse. mr. wicker. mr. wyden. mr. young. the presiding officer: a quorum is not present. mr. mcconnell: mr. president, i move to instruct the sergeant-at-arms to request the presence of absent senators and i ask for the yeas and nays. the presiding officer: is there a second? a sufficient second. there appears to be. the clerk will call the roll. vote: vote: vote: the presiding officer: are there any senators in the chamber wishing to vote or desire to change their vote? if not the yeas are 91. the nays are 4. the motion is agreed to. the sergeant-at-arms is so instructed. a quorum is present. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. alexander: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, the senate is not in order. the presiding officer: the senate will be in order. the senator from tennessee is recognized. mr. alexander: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, tonight the senator from maryland, senator cardin and i and a bipartisan group of united states senators have introduced a resol

mr. warren, the treasurer of a railroad company. they built it purposely on the hudson river to take advantage of this beautiful view, the natural splendor. and, situated the house in such a way it was opening up to the riverview. the big parlor rooms inside the house were at the back of the house so they could see the water. there was a big, giant porch on the back where vaux assumed of the residence it spend the summer enjoying the breeze and taking in the breathtaking views. you can see there is a garden, i yard, emphasizing the space that could be had in the suburbs. a much bigger house and people were living in in the city. one that was supposed to blend in with nature. vaux was concerned about the house not sticking out so much. you can see there are gables that make the house appear very tall. but in the rear, the gables are not there. instead, there is a roof to deemphasize the verticality. there is also a lot of ornamentation. the idea was that these houses could express the emotions of the owners. these window hoods on the

warren: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts. ms. warren: thank you, mr. president. i rise today to urge my completion to vote against the nomination of tom price to be the secretary of the department of health and human services. you know, the decisions made at h.h.s. touch the lives of every family in america. the secretary who runs this agency makes decisions about everything from the safety of the food we eat to the drugs we take to the health insurance we buy and the quality of the nursing homes that we live in. this is an extremely important job, and we should not hand over the keys to this agency unless we are certain that the person will put the american people first every minute of every day. president trump has nominated congressman tom price to serve in this job. unlike many of the president's other nominees who are stunningly inexperienced in areas whether they will be -- where they will be setting policy, congressman price has a lot of experience in health care policy. yes, he has experience, but it is the kind of experie

mr. warren bingham. [ applause ] >> thank you, rob. and thanks, everyone. a who are you y'all anyway? i need to get a list of everyone's name. i just can't believe you're all here to hear me talk about this. because it's a thrill fob me to be in mount vernon, and then to have this great audience here to hear it is very special for me. i've been sharing this topic for over 20 years. and so the book is sort of a cap of my longtime interest in this subject. over the years, in my -- washington-southern tour. it's not a military campaign. it wasn't a fine wine, or one of washington's whiskeys that he distilled here, but it was literally a trip. and some folks have a hard time believing that. but it really was a trip. and the southern tour, i think it to be true, the other travels washington took as president to the middle states and to the north, new england, were a little bit morrow teen compared to the southern tour. george washington's southern tour was the third of three major trips that he took to visit the 13 states during his first term as president. it was nearly 1900 miles and it

mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts. ms. warren: mr. president, for the first time in more than a decade, the republican party controls the house, the senate and the white house, and this week they are starting to roll out their legislative agenda. so now that they have complete control of the agenda, what do the republicans have in store? something to bump up wages for working families or something to create more jobs, something to tackle the student debt crisis, maybe something to deal with all the jobs that get shipped overseas? nope. one of the republican party's first orders of business is a giveaway to exxonmobil that will help corrupt and repressive foreign regimes and help it to funnel money to terrorists around the world. here's the problem. big corporations like exxon and other oil and gas mining companies often pay millions of dollars to foreign governments to access natural resources located in these countries, and many of these foreign regimes are corrupt. and exxon's massive payouts regularly end up in the pockets of gover

king rotate to congress in in 1986, ironically, they silenced elizabeth warren for doing the same thing. >> sons and brothers >> mr. president >> senator impugned the motives of our colleague from alabama. senator warren said senator sessions has used the power of his office to chill the exercise of his office. i call on the senator to rule >> mr. president? >> that is how senator warren started off the speech reading a letter from scott king in 1996 she wrote congress to ask them to oppose a nomination of jeff sessions. the federal bench would irreparably damage the work of her husband, dr. martin luther king junior. >> that's what this is about. she wrote a powerful letter about an important moment in history that directly involved jeff sessions and is directly relevant to the question of whether or not jeff sessions ought to be the attorney general of the united states. >> i don't know what image mcconnell's intent was to silence her. it certainly took on its own whole new thing, immediately after she left. she went and read that speech on facebook live. she still got the message out y >> it started a big movem

warren: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts. ms. warren: mr. president, i ask that the quorum call be lifted. the presiding officer: without objection. ms. warren: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, on december 8, drum nominated andrew pudz never to be -- putser in. there is some reporting suggesting that he is having some second thoughts and i sincerely hope that is true. the reasons he is a terrible choice for this job are literally two numerous for me to cover fully, but i'm at least going to get a start here. if you work for a living, the labor secretary is very important to you. this person is responsible for protecting the interest of 150 million american workers. he will be the person responsible for enforcing the law that ensure that employers actually pay workers for every hour they work and setting the standards to prevent workplace injuries an even death. unfortunately, mr. puzdner is not the kind of person that the american people can trust to and it up for workers. he has served as the c.e.o. of the billion dollar company c.k.

and the republicans held the senate and mrs. warren is not in charge of the finance committee. just a lot better than they looked last year. >> charlie, that's why we've seen these stocks move so much. a lot of people look at the sector very simply. we're going to get a lot less regulation. dodd/frank will be reduced in some form or fashion. some partial rollback, full rollback, et cetera. a lot of people look at this and say, we're going to get financial reform so these stocks are a buy. are they under thinking it at this point? >> they got it up to the last point. there is going to be deregulation, interest rates are going to go up. that's going to improve earnings. all of that, at this point, is overfactored into the stocks. morgan stanley is my favorite example on this. 23 in june of last year. it went to 46 this week. things are better at morgan stanley but not that much better. >> should they have been that level in the first place? that's what bulls will argue, that it should not have hit that low level in the first place. >> there are markets you can use to value financ

mr. trump. warren'sumber one opponent may be next year curt schilling who is a former red sox great picture. that's going to be a big battle. she needs to look at what she is doing and focus more on her constituents than trying to tear down our new president. >> martha: the super bowl was a bout that time as well. >> i am not sure about the sports angle here, but i think what elizabeth warren is talking about it's critical to democrat success, not only her own but for us in 2020. this is something that joe biden's been out there talking about. bernie sanders as well. essentially, democrats have ignored the last few decades how hard it's been for the middle class, and that is why many white working-class voters went for donald trump in the selection. i salute her for -- >> martha: there is a divide it seems. the election process to head the dnc. you have a progressive side of that, and then you have the establishment side. joe biden and hillary clinton. there in a real struggle right now. they had a very

warren's colleagues cried foul. >> mr. president, the suggestion that would invoke rule 19 and force senator warren to sit down and be silent is outrageous. >> what senator warren did tonight is not over the line. >> i didn't even believe it when i heard it, that a united states senate would be silenced by another jieunited states senato. >> and the hash tag let hspeak. the letter being spread on line. warren taking to facebook live to continue her remarks against sessions. it comes after the last stalling efforts of devos becoming education secretary. >> the senate being equally divided the vice president votes and the nomination is confirmed. >> still, the president is furious with attempts to stall his nominees stating it is a disgrace my full cabinet is still not in place, the longest delay in the history of country obstructing by democrats. senate republicans themselves postponed his vote in order to have him vote in favor of devos's nomination. the president invited several senate democrats for a luncheon at 2 white h

silencing senator warren for reading mrs. king's letter under the guise of senate rules is hypocritical, and rightfully leads some to question whether the majority leader may have a different standard of expected conduct for female senators compared to their male counterparts. i have already announced that i will vote against the nomination of senator sessions, and after this episode last night, i believe now more than ever this position will require an unwavering commitment to protect americans' constitutional rights and to stand up against discrimination and hate. like the thousands of new mexicans i have heard from, i lack that confidence in senator sessions. i urge the american people to read and share coretta scott king's letter and continue to make your own voices heard because we will not be silenced. we will persist. and i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts. mr. markey: thank you

mr. president, i yield the floor. ms. warren: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts. ms. warren: thank you, mr. president. i rise today to urge my completion to vote against the nomination of tom price to be the secretary of the department of health and human services. you know, the decisions made at h.h.s. touch the lives of every family in america. the secretary who runs this agency makes decisions about everything from the safety of the food we eat to the drugs we take to the health insurance we buy and the quality of the nursing homes that we live in. this is an extremely important job, and we should not hand over the keys to this agency unless we are certain that the person will put the american people first every minute of every day. president trump has nominated congressman tom price to serve in this job. unlike many of the president's other nominees who are stunningly inexperienced in areas whether they will be -- where they will be setting policy, congressman price has a lot of experience in health care po

mr. whitehouse: i ask unanimous consent that the complete letter from which senator warren read be made a part of the "congressional record" to show that she has in fact read from it. the presiding officer: objection is heard. a senator: mr. president? mr. leahy: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from vermont. mr. leahy: mr. president, this is fascinating. i would say to my colleagues, i've served here longer than any member of this body. been here 42 years. i've been here when democrats were in the majority and when the republicans were in the majority. the democratic presidents and republican presidents. i never, ever saw a time when a member of the senate, who asked to put into the record a letter, especially by a civil rights icon, and somebody objected. it's always been done. i've had letters that people have asked to put in that are contrary to the position i might take. of course i would not object. therthey arellowed to do that. -- they're allowed to do that. i've seen members from members on -- i've seen letters and members on both sides of the aisle have debated

mr. buffett himself. warren buffett is here. >> what's the secret? is it the cherry coke?that does it. solved everything, actually. >> well, maybe -- i tell you what -- if you just sent me a question -- you want to ask the first question. >> i would love to. it's an honorer. was wondering given your ongoing stake in the bank, given the recent rally, why are you still holding it? >> yeah. it's the same metric i use for buying any asset. it was a met rric that was hand down by esop, which is the present cash compared to the future cash and the cash you expect to get later on. he said a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. he didn't know what discount rate to use. boug but a bank is how much cash you're going to get between now and judgment day discounted. so there's no special trick in the valuation. there can be a problem in figuring out what's inside the bank and particularly with non-u.s. banks. that would cause us a real problem. otherwise i'm looking tat like it's coca cola or american express and how much is going to -- can come out of this business over the year

in the fight over president trump's cabinet as republicans vote to violence senator elizabeth warren. >> mr. president -- >> majority leader. >> reprimanded for quoting coretta scott king's criticism. >> i ask leave of the senate to continue my remarks. >> the senator will take her seat.

mr. president? >> majority leader? >> senator warren, quote, said senator sessions has used the awesome power of his office to chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens. >> the senator from massachusetts. >> mr. president, i'm surprised that the words of coretta scott king are not suitable for debate in the united states senate. i ask leave of the senate to continue my remarks. >> warren was forced to sit down. afterwards she told rachel maddow she has been in effect red carded. >>> after a long and bitter confirmation battle, betsy devos was sworn in last night. vice president mike pence cast the tiebreaking vote to seal her confirmation. it was the first time in history a vice president's vote was needed to get a cabinet nominee approved. >>> happening now, supreme court nominee neil gorsuch is meeting with more members of the u.s. senate. judge gorsuch is set to meet with members of both parties today. he's been holding meetings with senators all week. >>> three federal appeals court judges are expected to rule later this

something that warren took issue with. >> mr. president i am surprised that the words of coretta scott king are not suitable for debate in the united states senate. i ask leave of the senate to continue my remarks. >> well, senators rebuked warren's push to overturn the ruling but that did not stop her. she later took to facebook live to finish the reading of king's letter and last check, in the last six hours or so it has already gotten three and a half million views. >>> thank you. so the rule that senator mcconnell says that senator warren broke was rule 19. it is a another senator. she will not be allowed to speak for the rest of the debate on jeff sessions' nomination for attorney general. we should note that a spokesman for leader mcconnell says warren was warned several times. democratics though called it selective enforcement of that rule. >>> and just as contentious as the senate is, social media exploding about news about senator warren, the ha#let liz speak is trending right now. she posted a facebook life video reading

. >> dana: the senate majority leader pulled a rare move to silence elizabeth warren. >> mr.resident. >> majority leader. >> the motives and conduct of our colleague. >> mr. president, i am surprised that the words of coretta scott king are not suitable for debate in the united states senate. i asked leave of the senate to continue my remarks. >> is their objections? >> i object. >> i appeal the ruling. >> it is heard. >> the senator will take her seat. >> dana: she got filed by rule 19. >> greg: rule 19. also delicious cereal. what's hilarious is that she said something wrong that was refuted. then she plays the victim card after she impugned sessions. she is like someone who goes on twitter and trolls you and then you nail her and then she's like she blocks you. she freaks out. i don't think i would have silenced her because then you fall for it and then she becomes the victim by silencing her, you give her what she wants. i think a smarter thing for the republicans should have been to say, why are you exploiting the memory of coretta scott king and using her for the purpos

mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts. ms. warren: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that a fellow on my staff, brian clark, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of this session. the presiding officer: without objection. ms. warren: thank you. mr. president, i rise today to express my strong opposition to president trump's nomination of scott pruitt to be the next administrator for the environmental protection agency. the reason is simple. in a choice between corporate polluters and people who want to breathe air and drink water, scott pruitt sides with the corporate polluters. he has no business as the head of the e.p.a. during his nomination hearing, mr. pruitt had countless opportunities to answer for his record. his responses were flippant, evasive, and outright misleading. he has been asked repeatedly to provide records from his office concerning dealings with big oil companies, but he told the the senators, hey, they should submit an open records request hoping that his confirmation would be over long before those docum

into another far left adventure, senator elizabeth warren, as close to a socialist as you can get, attacked senator jeff sessions in hearings over whether mrsessions should become the new attorney general. what warren did was try to read a letter written by coretta scott king 31 years ago -- 31 -- that criticized mr. sessions. all had to do with the senatorse prosecuting a voter fraud case in alabama while he was a u.s. attorney there. the situation involved three civil rights activists who sessions believed were committing voter fraud. the three were ultimately acquitted of the charges, and mrs. king was furious with the case. again, that was 31 years ago. but last night, seeking to paint jeff sessions as a racist, warren brought it up in the senate. >> the senators impugned the motive and conduct from our colleague from alabama as warned by the chair. senator warren, "said senator sessions has used the awesome power of his office to chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens." >> i am surprised that the words of coretta scott king are not suitable for debate in the united states senate. i ask leave of the senate to d continue

reporter: can you comment on senator elizabeth warren's letter that she sent this morning regarding andy putzer? mr. schumer: i haven't seen her letter so i chant comment on it. -- can't comment on it. reporter: a little bit of prime minister netanyahu's upcoming visit. are you going to be meeting with him? mr. schumer: i am going to be meeting with him. both with a group of senators and privately. reporter: you have seen the pictures that arose from some of the members of mar lago who were nearby the dinner table where donald trump was, reacting to the missile test by north korea? what do you make of the fact that that was addressed in such a -- [inaudible] -- mr. schumer: i say donald trump talks about making america secure. security begins at home. he never should have had such a sensitive discussion in such a public place. reporter: regarding north korea and their missile test last week. what sort of options do you see for congress moving forward to exercise oversight of the trump administration -- [inaudible] -- mr. schumer: to me, first, i don't know if they've done it today. but as of yester

listen to this exchange between betsy devos and elizabeth warren. >> mrs.os, have you ever taken out a student loan to pay for college? >> i have not. >> have any of your children had to borrow money in order to go to college? >> they have been fortunate not to. >> have you had any personal experience with the pell grant? >> not personal experience, but certainly friends and students with whom i have worked. >> so you have no personal experience with college financial aid or management of higher education. >> okay, and obviously she comes from a very wealthy family. no one should hold that against her. she hasn't had had to take loans. but she also would be one of the few secretaries without any experience being a teacher or running a school system. does that concern you at all? >> no, and let me tell you why. so much of this -- the senators play a lot of gotcha. answer yes or no and really don't want to have real conversation about her views. they really want to put questions out there to catch her and make her look bad. that's the nature of both parties d

warren's colleagues cried foul. >> mr. president, the suggestion that reciting the words of the great king's letter. >> i could not believe it when i heard it that a united states senator would be silenced by another united states senator. >> so the #letlizspeak took over. warren ultimately taking to facebook life against sessions. it comes after the last stalling effort still resulted in betsy devos becoming the education secretary. >> the senate being equally divided the vice president votes in the affirmative and the nomination is confirmed. >> still the president is furious with democrats attempts to delay his cabinet. a vote to confirm sessions is expected later today after senate republicans themselves postponed his vote in order to have him vote in favor of betsy devos' nomination. >>> and then the manhunt for two suspects has come to a bloody end. during a standoff with police at a georgia motel, boyette died from a self inflicted gun wound, and mary rice was arrested. the two suspects were spotted on surveillance

mrs. coretta scott king, the letter that we referred to earlier in the show that elizabeth warren couldn't mrs. king. i knew her well. i was at 13 years old a youth director in new york of the organization her husband had founded and he had been killed that year. and i worked with her as head of national action network, and she supported it, came to a lot of our events and worked with us along with her son, martin iii. she was a very deliberate woman. she was a very careful woman. she would not have written a letter to the u.s. senate because she was just some passionate, out-of-control activist. she thought about what she did. and i told attorney general sessions on the phone the gravity of our concern -- voting rights -- the gravity of our concern around voter i.d., around criminal justice reform, around president obama's 21st-century police commission recommendations, around the cases that are still before us from walter scott in north charleston and eric garner's investigation in new york. we're not just partisan people. there's a real problem. i'm glad he called. i'm thinking it's the

mrs. gates: first of all, i'm glad we got a chance to sit down and talk. warrenuffett has inspired us over the years. he has written a letter to berkshire hathaway, talking to shareholders about the business. he said to us years ago that it might be nice for us to write a letter. and given that it is the 10 year anniversary of this gift, we thought, let's use that as a marker in time to spend some time, bill and i, reflecting on accomplished -- reflecting on what have we accomplished? if we were trying to tell him what his return on investment, what has the foundation really done? it ended up being a really good exercise for both of us. megan: we don't normally think of foundational work returning a value on investment. it is an unusual way to look at it. it's really important to make in terms of the number that you bring up. mrs. gates: it's important to say first of all about warren, the most important thing we learned from warren is life lessons. separate from money or the return on investments. life lessons about how to live your life. warren buffett has a se

mr. chair: with a doubt. sen. warren: thank you. place to stop in another financial crisis, we need to start with facts, real facts, not alternative facts that the administration has become known for. the facts show that donald trump is wrong and his chief economic advisor is wrong about every major reason that they have given to tear up dodd-frank. commercial and consumer lending is robust. bank profits are at record levels, and our banks are blowing away the global competitors. why go after banking regulations? the president and the team of goldman sachs anchors that he has been in charge of the that the usankers put in charge of the economy went to scrap the rules so they can go back to the good old days, when bankers could get huge bonuses if they got lucky and take huge risks, knowing they could get tax payer bailout if they did not pay off. we did this top of regulation before and resulted in the worst financial crisis since the great depression. we cannot afford to go down this road again. thank you, chair yellen and mr. chai

mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from massachusetts massachusetts. ms. warren: mr. president, i rise today to call on my colleagues to reject the nomination of betsy devos as the next secretary of education. it is difficult to imagine a worse choice to head the department of education. betsy devos doesn't believe in public schools. her only knowledge of student loans seems to come from her own financial investments connected to debt collectors who hound people struggling with student loans. and despite being a billionaire, she wants the chance to keep making money off shady investments while she runs the department of education. we need someone in charge of the nation's education policy who knows what they're doing and who will put america's young people first. and that is not betsy devos. let's start with her record. betsy devos has used her vast fortune to undermine michigan's public schools. she is sure she knows what's best for everyone else's children even though she has no actual experience with public schools. in michigan, the k-12 policy she bankrolled drain

senator warren: thank you, mr. chairman. first, what to say i share senator murray and senator murphy is frustration with the confirmation process. we were not allowed to ask this of us a second round of questions during her hearing which i was allowed to do during the previous secretary of education hearing. instead we are forced to a hearing before ethics review was finished, and we were denied a second hearing to question mrs. devos about her very complicated ethics document, and the sheet investment that she insists on keeping. mrs. devos hasn't even completed the committee paperwork, which means she is still hiding critical information from this committee. this is a rush job by republicans, and the american people i think are smart enough to see what's happening. i will vote against the nomination to serve as secretary of education because her nomination is not in the best interest of america's young people. you know, ms. devos has repeatedly demonstrated her contempt for public education. a record on k-12 education has
