we will speak to democrat congress member ro khanna, one of a handful of u.s. lawmakers to speak out about u.s.-imposed regime change in venezuela. then we look at a stunning new documentary about the man whwho mentored donald trump and roger stone, the infamous attorney roy cohn. >> they swallowed roy cohn in a certain way and absorbebed all f his incredible abilities at practicing the dark arts of manipulation of politics and media and understanding the nexus between politics and media and how to operate those lovers for dark and selfish purposes. "where's my roy cohn?" premiered here at sundance just hours after one of the key figures in the film, roger stone, was arrested for lying to congress about his interactions with wikileaks during the 2016 campaign. we will hear roger stone himself talk autut thempacact of roy cohn. it is t rules oar, you not fight on thother guy' ground. i learned that from roy. amy: all that and more, coming up.[701]greeting amy: welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i am amy goodman. u.s. and talib

ro khanna held a town hall meeting in cupertino yesterday. it is an idea that many of his constituents seem to support. >> a total irresponsible way of governing, whether you're a democrat or a republican, no one should shut down government for political reasons. >> to tie political policy with government operations is a big mistake and it just leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth and of course it hurts a lot of people. >> after 35 days president trump signed a short-term spending bill to reopen the government on friday but he says he could shut down the government again in three weeks if he does not get money for his border wall. 800,000 federal workers went more than a month without pay. they could get their paychecks next week. >>> standard & poor's estimates that the 35 day partial government shutdown cost around $6 billion. that's more than the amount the president is currently asking for the wall. analysts say it will now take time for the country to make up the lost economic growth and with another shutdown possibly on the horizon, f

only three democrats -- ro khanna of california, tulsi gabbard of hawaii, and alexandria ocasio-cortez of new york -- voted "no." critics say paygo is a conservative austerity measure that could hamper efforts to pass progressive legislation. the house also voted to create a new select committee on climate change, to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and to allow lawmakers to wear religious headwear on the house floor. that change will impact ilhan omar, a somali-american democrat from minnesota who wears a hijab. meanwhile, washington state democratic congressmember pramila jayapal said thursday she's been given the green light by democratic leaders to hold hearings on whether to create a federal medicare for all single-payer healthcare system by lowering the age of medicare eligibility to zero. both the house rules and budget committees are expected to take up the issue. and democrats are pledging to use the power of subpoena to investigate president trump,p, e trump organization, and his cabinet. new york congressmember jerrold nadler, who chairs th

democratic representative ro khanna of california tweeted -- "let me get this straight. the u.s.sanctioning venezuela for their lack of democracy but not saudi arabia? such hypocrisy. maduro's policies are bad and not helping his people, but crippling sanctions or pushing for regime change will only make the situation worse." tulsi gabbard tweeted -- "venezuela needs to stay out of venezuela. let them determine their future. we don't want other countries to choose our leaders, so we have to stop trying to choose there's." democratic congresswoman ilhan omar, who said -- "a u.s. backed coup in venezuela is not a solution to the dire issues they face. trump's efforts to install a far right opposition will only incite violence and further destabilize the region. we must support mexico, uruguay & the vatican's efforts to facilitate a peaceful dialogue." this split in the around venezuela, medea benjamin. >> yes, i think this is because there is a small group of venezuelans in florida setting the agenda. and the rest of us are quiet. we've got to get out on the streets. we have to get

and congressman ro khanna a proposal pushed by ocosia cortez and others. i've seen a lot of people saying wait a minute we can declare a national emergency over this. why not about climate change? >> climate change actually is the real crisis. if the democrats get elected, they understand constitutional law. for example if elizabeth warren were eelected she wrote harry truman couldn't seize steel mills and that was the korean war. and if the president did, the house can overturn it in a joint resolution. the level of ignorance by the republicans on the actual law is outstanding. especially considering they're the party that's supposed to uphold the constitution. and they'll argue this is what's creating job. there are more jobs being created than solar and wind. 1200 as any other industry. in 2016 solar jobs grew 25%. wind jobs grew 32%. this is about economic growth, not just the environment. >> the other reason i think this is key can at this moment the democrat for years have said we should do something. there was a bill that happened the last time ther
