and joining us now is the democratic senator of washington, patty murray. thank you for being here.rt in this. you delivered an hour long speech against the vote on the senate floor yesterday, warning he believes we live in a post-constitutional time, but knowing that you're not in the majority and knowing that it is unlikely that republicans will decide not to give donald trump what he wants. why is it important? what do you want the american people to know about why the democrats are spending this time standing on the senate floor and talking about this? >> chris, it is so important that american people across this country and in every community understand that our democracy is at stake with someone like russell vote, who doesn't believe that we should follow the constitution or the laws or the democratic procedures we have always followed in order to make sure that we are passing funding for people in my state and across the country on the priorities that we debate and vote on in congress. he has specifically said that he will violate the law. he doesn't believe in it. he doesn't

i think that is part of why senator patty murray endorsed me because she saw me doing the work and newhat i would be a good colleague to fight for our neighbors together and that is what i am here to do, make sure that folks feel like they have real representation. >> how often they plan to get home -- i also like to ask how often they plan to get home? rep. randall: most weekends. it is a big geographic district so i cannot just go home one weekend a month and be in every corner. so, you know and i also have a family that i want to spend time with. i have a baby nephew, my wife, mother and sister-in-law and my mom. i will take those cross-country commutes with my little dog and wrap up the airlines -- airline miles and then get back to work. >> what is the toughest part of navigating washington, d.c.. rep. randall: this is my first time as a minority. i have always served in a trifecta in my time in the state senate. even when i was a member of the governing majority that i knew that bipartisan relationships made my policy better. i will draw on those experienced to build relationship

[ laughter ] bob got off to a hot start this morning courtesy of washington senator patty murray>> you were accused of sexual harassment and assault by eliza cooney, part-time babysitter for your family. you said you were, quote, not a church boy, and that you, quote, have so many skeletons in my closet. you then texted miss cooney an apology and indicated you had no memory what was she described. did you make sex advances toward miss cooney without her consent? >> no, i did not, and that story has been debunked. >> why did you apologize to her, then? >> i apologized for something else. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: there was something else? let me get this straight. this woman "lied" about you sexually assaulting her, but you wrote to apologize for something else? "sorry i spilled fresca on your ottoman." [ laughter ] robert kennedy would not admit he said autism comes from vaccines, even though we have this. >> i do believe that autism does come from vaccines. >> jimmy: all right. he lies about important things. you can't get a straight answer out of robert kennedy j.r., but you might

senator patty murray of washington, quote, the trump administration has begun indiscriminately laying off hanford workers in washington state. trying to run hanford with a skeleton crew is a recipe for disaster that could have irreversible impacts. cutting the people who do cleanup work. security engineers they're cutting at hanford. in the pacific northwest. there is still a working commercial nuclear reactor that feeds the largest electricity supplier in that part of the country, which is the bonneville power administration. trump, in addition to firing the cleanup crews at hanford, also just fired hundreds of people more than 600 employees who keep the lights on at bonneville to. mass. layoffs at bonneville power administration raise concerns about reliability of power grid. they're firing electricians. they're engineers, line workers, cybersecurity experts. again, that's the power grid. the biggest electricity supplier in the pacific northwest, including some of their electricity being supplied by big commercial nuclear plant. is that what you voted for? cutting the people who mai

but there was a hint in something this was in the senate budget that patty murray, who is the powerful senate, and she was certainly signaling that there could be a possible debt ceiling showdown with democrats permitting the government to shut down. is that part of the strategy? >> look, i want to say that right now. magic johnson's got to come and talk to people in the house. they've got to be talking to the senate. we don't know exactly what's going on. but when you look at i mean, people should be outraged at the kind of data that is being collected on them. everything from their social security numbers to their home addresses to their health information. when you've had a colonoscopy, all of this needs to be on the table, and i'm not going to agree to anything until we know what they're talking. they've got to come talk to us and say what's on the table. but we got to fight for the american people. >> and right now, the way we're playing back tape, because we're not allowed to cover it live. the president's been talking in the oval office with the japanese prime minister. the prim

folks and other folks in washington state saying that they went to the offices of both senator patty murray and senator maria cantwell. they reported back from those meetings. quote, cantwell needs a lot more encouraging. okay. i mean, even when it's a hostile reception showing up in person, it makes an impact. here's some indivisible members and other folks outside the metairie, louisiana, office of senator bill cassidy. they said they were threatened with arrest if they didn't leave his office. but they went. they showed up peacefully. he knows they were there. he knows what they were there for. they are his constituents in the house. democratic leader hakeem jeffries is telling all democratic members of congress to convene town halls and roundtables and meet with their home state constituents about what's going on and do it now. the memo from hakeem jeffries to all democratic members of congress that went out last night, he's telling them, do it today, quote, or as soon as possible this week. he says, quote, we will track participation throughout the caucus, meaning you need to start hav

democratic senator patty murray saying there is simply no authority or basis for trump to impose such a mandate. in fact, federal laws prohibit any president from telling schools and colleges what they can teach. pamela. >> and what about any reaction from education leaders? do they have a deadline to respond here? >> they do. so this letter was sent on friday the 14th, and they gave these schools 14 days. and, you know, look, whether or not this is legal, it certainly i would believe has this ripple effect of having schools rethink their programs and what they're doing. if there is this fear of losing federal funding. so while we do expect this to be fought in the courts, the question remains of what sort of impact it will have on schools who just alone this letter alone is enough to to make them rethink. we've reached out to several unions and school teachers unions, and we are waiting to hear back. no one coming out and speaking just yet. i think many are just trying to digest what this means and figure out what how it may impact their programs and how to respond to it. >> pamela r

um, senator patty murray saying, quote, there is simply no authority or basis for trump to impose such a mandate. in fact, federal laws prohibit any president from telling schools and colleges what to teach, including every student succeeds act that i negotiated with republicans. so already, kate, we expect that this will certainly land in the courts just as the trump administration's other policies have. kate. >> rene, thank you so much for your reporting. john. all right. the trump administration is firing hundreds of faa workers just weeks after the mid-air collision that killed 67 people. and he who saves the country does not violate any law. president trump, seemingly channeling napoleon. >> cookbooks. >> corporate fat. >> cats, swindling socialites, doped up cyclists, and. >> yes, more crooked politicians. >> i have a feeling we won't. >> be running. >> out of those anytime soon. >> a new season of united states of scandal with jake tapper, march 9th on cnn. >> yet another toothpaste. >> that does. >> not. >> white girl. this one works. >> basic toothpaste. >> stops at the top. c
