to the bigger question of what's at stake here, for national security, for national policy with you know, president or rather prime minister netanyahu arriving tonight and uncertainty throughout the national security team? >> well i think you've really hit the nail on the head when you enthusiastic about incoherence and problem of a functioning national security team but we shouldn't forget the substantive impact of general flynn's departure. he was the ideological driving force between two related issues. one was the war on radical islamic extremism as he referred to it and the other issue was iran and the need to confront iran in the region. don't forget, he was the one who put iran on notice on day two of the trump administration. so that with prime minister netanyahu coming to town and wanting to focus his discussion with the president on iran, he has lost his wing man for that effort. >> in terms of russia, what about u.s./russia policy? russia so far has certainly succeeded if what vladimir putin wanted to do was shake up confidence in the national security posture of the united st

america is the greatest nation in the world, and if we let up on our pursuit of the highest national security standards, we will see this greatness slip away. to the detriment not only of all american citizens but to the entire world. . finally, i must address the nothings that we accept all refugees with open arms. well, if that's the case, then why aren't we opening the doors wide to the 60 million refugees worldwide rather than only a fraction of 1%? as a follower of jesus christ, i do believe we should help those in need around us and that america should be involved in helping the displaced and persecuted whenever we can. perhaps a more compassionate approach is take the money we spend settling one refugee in the united states and instead for the same price provide for 12, for a dozen refugees in a safe haven near their own homes, their own home countries. just as a father's primary responsibility is to care for their own children, the chief role of the president and other national leaders is to ensure the best interests of the citizens under their charge. if president trump were

we do not have a functional national security council. we do not have a particularly functional white house when it comes to national security. that is terribly concerning, just in terms of the paramount responsibility of the government, protecting the country. >> i want to reiterate, we have , our democracy, potentially compromised by things that russia has done. that would be bad enough just in itself. but when you then add that there may very well be collusion between high-ranking officials in this administration with the russians, that is a double whammy. that should scare all of us as americans who really love our democracy and cherish it. this, to our knowledge, has never happened before. who iublican colleagues, know many are wary of russia in, it is just unbelievable to me that they are not leading the linee to demand the bottom truth from this administration in terms of russia, hacking our election, undermining the democratic process. i cannot remember in my lifetime another crisis, and that includes watergate, that is more serio

we are a nation of laws. as i have said, as we have said, from day one, those laws apply to everybody in our country, and that includes the president of the united states. we've had a chance to look at the opinion. one thing i just want to mention is throughout this litigation the president has asserted that his actions in signing this executive order are unreviewable and you heard the question posed by the ninth circuit judges in the oral argument this week, the question was asked is it the view of the justice department thoez actions are unreviewable? after a lengthy pause, the answer was yes. here's what the ninth circuit had to say about that -- there is no precedent to support this claimed unreviewability which runs contrary to the fundamental structure of our constitutional democracy. i'm so proud of our team. as many of you know they've been working literally around the clock on behalf of the people of this state. it's the folks you see here who we'll be introducing shortly but also attorneys and profe

he made news yesterday on "face the nation." he was talking about the immigration executive order, about the court ruling, the refusal of the court to lift the temporary stay in place on the enforcement of that order. and steven miller said put this up on the screen, the end result of this is that our opponents, the media and the whole world will soon see as we take further actions that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned. that phrase right there, will not be questioned, has received a lot of attention since he made that on sunday. it's raised the question, i'll give you a chance to answer here, does the white house -- does this administration respect the power of the courts to review presidential decisions? >> yes, they do. and steven miller does as well. what he is saying is will not be questioned. what he means is it's a lot of latitude, great authority. and in the case of president trump, steve, he believes he doesn't just have the authority under the statute 188

so what does this mean for team trump and the national security our nation?ral flynn violate any laws when he spoke to the russians? judge napolitano is here to break all of that down. the prime minister of israel now in washington for his meeting with the president. bubble up, this could get bumpy. what the hell happened to lieutenant general michael flynn? the national security advisor abankruptly resigned after he said he inadvertently briefed

this is a national benefit. the idea that we invest in those interstate highways will help commerce at both ends of the trip. the other is again, as stated in my written testimony, these e highways in rural states bring product to market. agricultural products, forest products, energy products to markets that they needed to go to. so tthere's a strong benefit there to urban areas by investing in rural states. finally as i stated in both my opening statement and written testimony i mentioned tourism. these roads bring millions of ot visitors to yellowstone national park and mt. rushmore every year. these are tourism dollars spent in america and not in europe orn canada or some other place. the reason is they can get there.th and they can get home safely. and the only way they can get there as the senator had pointed out from vermont sometimes is a highway, is by car. investing in rural states helpss urban areas and the nation in those respects..al >> thanks. senator carper? >> thank you very much. i had a special

national concern to them. he spoke to over 30 of his counterparts during the transition. that is personal -- perfectly reasonable for him to do so. the issue is that the president got to the point where general flynn was misleading the vice was thet and others possibility that he had forgotten critical details. it'd created a critical mass and an unsustainable situation. that is why the president decided to ask for his resignation, and he got it. the irony of this entire situation is that the president has been tough on russia. he continues to raise the issue of crimea. as ambassador to the u.s. stood before the u.n. security council on her first day in strongly denounced the russian occupation of crimea. said, thedor haley dire situation in eastern ukraine is one that demands clear and strong condemnation of russian actions. president trump has made it very clear that he expects the russian government to deescalate violence in the ukraine and return crimea. at the same time, he fully expects to and wants to b

. >> president trump spoke at his first national prayer breakfast. an annual event held each february since he is introduced 1953. by mark burnett. we hear from senate chaplain barry black. this is one hour and 40 minutes. >> good morning. good morning. good morning, folks. may we have your attention? we kind of hate to interrupt all of the conversations going on. who knows? the new friend that you just met me it the whole reason you are here. we want to respect your time so it is time to start the program. >> it is a thrill for us to look out over this crowd of thousands of people from all 50 states, 140 countries, every religious tradition and every language, community, and culture. we have not come to celebrate power or money or politics. we have come here together to pray. washington, d.c., needs prayer. senateead the weekly prayer breakfast group. it has been around washington as long as the pentagon or the jefferson memorial. as we said, the national prayer breakfast grew out of the weekly senate group and the idea has spread all over the world

is nationalism based on values, it is nationalism based on ethnicity.has done in the last 100 yea rs nationalism has done in the last 100 years in europe, we all know it! 20 million victims, all of this is based on nationalism. so an american president thinking, european unity is not necessary, let's go back to national identity, ideas of nationalism. that is playing with fire in europe. this is not america. this is europe. we have the holocaust, we had... well, you can...| holocaust, we had... well, you can... ithink it is a holocaust, we had... well, you can... i think it is a fair argument. you can cite the events of the 1930s and 19405 at argument. you can cite the events of the 19305 and 19405 at me but let's stick with what happened today. yes, but it can come back. let's look at the context of brexit. i come back to the basic point about the situation today in europe. you have just seem to reason in the white house with donald trump talking about the state fa5t alliance between britain and europe. you've heard donald trump saying that he is going

i'm talking about why isn't this party standing as one against a national left evening national media chosen to attack with the purpose of simply sedition. they are trying to stymie this president and his policies and overturn and subvert the will of the american people. it's that straightforward. and i don't hear anyone in congress talking about it. not the leadership of either house, senate or house. >> i would take issue there. i think speaker ryan and majority leader mcconnell have on more than one occasion stood up for the president. lou: i am going to pretend i'm an attorney. where is your evidence, counselor? when is the last statement made byter one of them that is in support of this president and condemning the actions of the left-wing national media. >> the confirmation of epa director pruitt i think is a grand statement by the self. if nothing else -- lou: we are not talking about metaphors for statements. do we the courtesy just at least assuming you have some obligation to answer straightforwardly. >> i am answering you straightforwardly. lou: let me add the word truthful

scotla nd year's six nations tournament.nd's unbeaten run continues, although they looked more sluggish against france and wales turned it on in rome to beat italy and top the table. where else to be than cardiff for this week's inside six nations. look at that, the roof is open here at the principality stadium. good evening from the heart of cardiff. in around 22 hours, the dragons will be roaring as wales take on england in what we hope will be another classic encounter. someone who knows all about the rivalry between wales and england is martyn williams. good evening. we will be getting his wisdom and insight into the action, but first let's remind ourselves of what happened in week one. we are underway in the 2017 six nations. two tries for scotland. ireland have hits back. great from greig laidlaw. they have beaten ireland. try is going to be scored.

across the nation. the question for today that we'll answer is how do we get there? how do we get in 1944 african-americans coming together, leadership from across political spectrum coming together and saying, yes. it is time for segregation to go. the answer to that question i would contend is that there is just movement, what i like to call this movement before the movement. a series of events, actions and activities we have to consider when we think about the moment in 1944. one of the places we can start is back in 1941 and just a little bit of background in terms of the african-american community in the united states in the 1940's. the great depression is still hammering communities all across the country. african-americans are suffering in particular in all major cities in the united states african-americans, men are facing unemployment rates up to 50%. some places 2/3 or 3/4 of black families are on public relief. chicago, st. louis, new york, charlotte, unemployment rates for african-american m
