joining me now, democrat senator ron wyden. senator, your reaction to the news that robert mueller has been named as a special counsel in this matter. >> chris, i've had some strong differences of opinion with bob mueller on governments, surveillance authority over law-abiding americans, but i have always considered bob mueller to be both professional and an honorable man. >> mitch mcconnell put out a really sort of almost comically understated statement in which he essentially described what has happened. he says that your committee's investigation continues. does this change anything from your perspective about what your committee has been tasked with uncover something. >> well, we felt very strongly about ensuring that we had somebody independent because if you look, for example, at jeff sessions walking back his commitment to recuse himself from these matters, we needed an independent voice. but i also think if you look at what the president admitted to on national television at the end of last week, that he fired mr. comey

so i now turn and yield to the senator from oregon, ron wyden. mr. wyden: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from oregon. mr. wyden: i thank my friend from massachusetts for not just today but all of the years in which he has led this battle. he is right, we have served together now in both chambers and in fact when i was here and he was in the other body, we talked often about why this was such a bedrock principle. you know, sometimes you listen to the head of the f.c.c., and you get the sense that somehow he's saying that the internet is either broken or is about to break, that some horrendous set of problems are going to ensue without his ill-advised ideas. the fact is the internet is not broken. the federal communications commission is not trying to help consumers by rolling back net neutrality protections. they are doing it to make it easier for the big cable companies to be in a position to shove out true and real competition. that i would say to my friends, in particular senator markey, and our friend from hawaii, senator schatz who have been champio

the last time major tax reform was done, the match -- last major bill written was by myself and ron wydentely, senator has said that they are simply not going to cooperate, they are not going to participate in governing. the democratic leadership of the house and senate has walked away from the table. even though you have a number of people in the senate willing to go across the aisle on issues like tax reform, it doesn't appear that the leadership will allow them to. if the republicans want to do tax reform, regrettably, sincerely regrettably, it will have to be done under reconciliation and on a partisan vote, with virtually no democrats supporting it. necessitate a it scaling back of ambition? you won't be able to go for the comprehensive bill? perhaps don't pursue personal corporate tax reform at the same time? i reading that wrong? judd: yeah, i'm afraid you are. right now democratic leadership in the senate and the house basically is an -- in an obstructionist position. they aren't willing to help the president on anything. even in infrastructure bill will be hard to pass. but a maj

david: fiery exchange between democratic senator from oregon ron wyden and mike pompeo, threats to theed states becomes platform for political discourse in the firing of james comey. >> this is about the national security advisor being vulnerable to blackmail by the russians. the american people deserve to know whether in these extraordinary circumstances the cia kept them safe? >> yes, sir. the cia kept america safe. and people at the central intelligence agency are committed to that and will remain committed to that. we will do that, we will do that in the face -- >> you won't answer the question. david: former trump campaign spokesperson erin he will more joins us as well as former obama campaign regional field director robin byro joins us to weigh in. erin, first to you. this was an impressive group of guys standing there before, sitting before the senate. there was, the head of the cia. there was the dni chief. there were a bunch of generals and they focus again on something that is at the very best tangential to the question of our survival as a nation, when you think of the thre

we heard an interesting exchange between a democrat, senator ron wyden, and the fbi director -- or sorrynd it seems that the cia director was really in the dark when it came to this warning about the former national security adviser, michael flynn, being vulnerable to blackmail by the russians. >> right. you remember last week we heard sally yates give that detailed account of how then as acting attorney general she went to the white house, alerted the white house counsel that the national security adviser at the time, michael flynn, may be compromised by the russians. obviously, that's sort of like a big alarm. it's something the white house is downplaying as sort of she gave us a heads-up and we looked into it. what is clear from cia director pompeo is he had no firsthand knowledge that that was going on. and what senator wyden's point was, in these global threat hearings, isn't the national security adviser possibly being compromised by the russians, doesn't that fit into a global threat matrix of sorts? and you know, pompeo really had no good answer, which you look at this and you th

we are seeing ron wyden put hold on nominations while pursuing other investigate ory avenues. how much will democrats gum up the works, throw themselves in front of the wheels of the ordinary business of the senate, to get a special prosecutor? >> well, i think first of all, our first play here, and it's real, is to work with the republicans in the senate. we've had everyone from richard burr saying he was troubled by this, and he thought that criticizing the timing to john mccain, to jeff flake, criticizing this. so if there is any way they will join us, and we're reaching out to them on this, that is what we want to do because this is from the beginning, with the involvement of mccain and graham, a bipartisan focus because right now it's about one party and one candidate in this last election. next time it will be another. that's the first thing. the second is the same with the fbi director, that it must be someone that garners a vast majority of senator support. the last thing you want -- and we will really push on this. you cannot have a 51 vote for this next fbi director.

let's get one of ron wyden's tweets back up. he said the upton amendment encourages insurance companies to charge sick people with high premiums because they'll be bailed out with taxpayer money. the upton amendment gives $8 billion in subsidies to make sure those who have preexisting conditions do not get charged more. at issue there is this waiver that states will be allowed to vote on and use if they would like to do so to make it so preexisting conditions are sent to what are called high-risk pools. a lot of various health organizations have come out pretty forcefully against this, saying ultimately those with preexisting conditions won't be able to afford their health care. they'll have the option of it, but health insurance companies will hike up their premiums so high, it will essentially be like them not having it whatsoever. so they potentially have the votes to pass this. is there a feeling, mike, from your assessment there on capitol hill, that they just need to pass something? it doesn't necessarily matter what is in

so this is ron wyden saying comey should be immediately called to testify at an open hearing about the status of the russ russia/trump investigation. justin amash, republican from michigan, my staff and i are reviewing legislation to establish an independent commission on russia. the second paragraph of this letter is liz bizarre. now, i've heard reporting from others that the white house is surprised by the blowback. what is your sense? >> the interesting thing is to watch democrats come to the aide of comey. i think the only thing that they like less than comey is the world without comey. the democrats have been sharply critical of him for what he did around the election and for his decision to reopen the clinton e-mail investigation 11 days before the election. so they've now positioned themselves as the defenders of comey because i think they realize that comey was their best bet to try and get some type of independent result out of the russia investigation. we have heard as well that the white house is surprised by the blowback to this. but, you know, i don't know how they couldn'

and i spoke to senators including ted cruz, ron wyden who is, of course, a democrat, but also marco rubio, who said look, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. they're not ready to call for a special counsel yet, but what we're hearing is a growing number of republicans joining the chorus of voices saying, these stories aren't adding up. and we need to get to the bottom of exactly what happened and i think that lester's interview with the president only compounds that and complicates this picture. >> and matt miller, former spokesman for the justice department, is joining us as well. you know the way that the justice department works. how credible is this explanation of the fbi director three times telling the president of the united states you're not under investigation? >> there are two things that are strange about it. one, it's an inappropriate question for the president to ask. it's not illegal. but if it was in a conversation where he is also talking to the fbi director about the -- whether he can stay on it's inappropriate for him to ask that question. it also woul

ron wyden and others say the fcc suddenly subjected some or all information providers to the regulation that would chill the growth and development of the advanced services. the very next year they said it isn't good for america to just pick up the title to telephone regulation and dump it wholesale on the internet site. this wasn't controversial, this was the consensus. the private sector invested in the $1.5 trillion. they accelerated. it is like google, facebook, netflix and amazon. it wasn't broken in 2015. the they couldn't find evidence of market failure. for the internet service provider is big and small to heavy-handed regulatory framework designed during the roosevelt administration to micromanage the telephone monopoly these utilities filed regulations were and are like the sledgehammer being yielded except here there is no flea. as a result they face new regulatory burdens there is no compliance. even the free services had to hear the washington bureaucracy that might disprove the enforcement action against them. for the possibility of the broadband regulations on the horizon
