joining us now ben sasse of nebraska.d to have you, sir. >> good morning, chris. >> so important enough. let's spent a block talking about the news and then we'll take a break and talk about the book, good? >> fair enough. >> so the president is once again providing the pathway to our understanding on something. the white house came out with a quick response in the form of general mcmaster. he said story is false that you heard. president didn't reveal any sources, methods or any military operations that weren't already public. now, that's not what the washington post reporting was about. it was about what the president may have given in detail that could allow the russians to deconstruct and find out where it might have come from. but then the president this morning doesn't follow mcmaster. he takes his own path, which is much closer to the reporting. he said i wanted to share with russia at an openly scheduled white house meeting. remember, the u.s. media was not invited to that. i have the absolute right to do, he says

i would have liked one more question to senator sasse about why has all this eroded?ing trusted at this point? well, in part because the president has thrown up so many things out there that it's hard to know what to trust. but meanwhile, members of both parties calling on the president to turn over any secretly recorded conversations he may have had with jim comey before firing him. of course, this is based on a tweet from mr. trump last week when he said comey "better hope there are no tapes." many are taking that as a veiled threat against a former fbi director. comey has already said he is not concerned about any tapes, insisting he never said anything to the president to worry about. >>> all right, we're getting a fresh read on voter reaction to the comey firing this morning. a new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll finds just 29% of americans say they approve of the president's decision to dismiss the fbi director. 38% disapprove. 32% say they don't have enough information. the poll found a sharper divide when party affiliation is factored in. look at this. 58%

chuck schumer had a response saying, that escalated quickly, referring to how senator ben sass' -- sasse's tweet went viral. a new talk, a democrat, good morning. >> my opinion on president trump businessman, his unpredictability for the u.s. is and what we need. is tooust -- he unpredictable and it is like a power trip. i think you should be impeached, the sooner the better because he is in good for the u.s. to leave todayut for a nine day trip overseas, his first. what are your concerns? do you have any with him representing the united states and negotiating with other world leaders? caller: you cannot believe anything he says. he says one thing and does something else. he is a liar. incomenot disclosed is tax returns. everyone has done that. that right there tells you -- what is he trying to hide? said earlier,uy when you do not disclose, people's imaginations run wild, right? host: here is the itinerary for president trump's first overseas trip. first, saudi arabia. then jerusalem, the for him. he will meet with israeli officials and the palestinian leader. then he is out to rome, wher

senator sasse is the author of "the vanishing american adult". he joins us from new york. senator, why do you think james comey was fired? >> i'm not sure how this president makes lots of decisions. so i honestly don't know. i do know that we are in the midst of a civilization warping crisis of public trust, and we need to talk honestly about our institutions that need to be restored and need to have the ability for people in five and eight and ten years to trust these institutions. there are lots of reasonable arguments people can make about the way director comey made decisions in the midst of the unprecedented complexities of the 2016 election cycle, and lots of people can think that director comey, who is a fundamentally honorable man, but people can think that he executessed his job in all sorts of clunky and imperfect ways. that's a different question than whether or not he should have been fired the way he was last week, and i've been critical of that decision. i think it exacerbates the erosion of trust in our institutions. so i'm disappointed in the timing of the

as i asked senator sasse earlier. the meetings in january. the meeting in february.of james comey. what we have learned about the notes of james comey. some of your democratic colleagues are already seeing the beginnings of a case for impeachment. are they right? or is that going too far? >> i think that we need to gather the facts. i have always been one to be very careful with regards to the gathering of the facts and then coming to the conclusions, as opposed to having a conclusion and trying to search for the facts. i've seen that in the past, so many times. i think that we -- that will take care of itself. basically, george there are three things going on here. one, we have to figure out what this whole idea of the russians interfering with our elections was all about. after all, 17 of our intelligence agencies said it did happen. two, we have to figure out whether there was collusion and that -- i'm sure that will come out. and three, we have to figure out exactly whether there was some type of coverup. that's how i see this. all along we have to look at it ver

as you know, senator ben sass indicated if you do that it is sending a message you don't trust the intel committee to do their work, a vote of no confidence there. shouldn't you let them do their job to see if they can do it without a special prosecutor? >> well, there are two separate lines of activity here. one is the oversight function of the intelligence committee, they're doing their job. mark warner has done a very good job. i had some differences it would senator burr and in the last week, some people tell me he was very upset with comey's firing, and i hope it continues. they can't prosecute. the special counsel of the justice department has the ability to prosecute people for violations of wall. they go on in tandem. one shouldn't step on the other. i know they're talking to each other now, the fbi was with the intelligence committee to make sure no one's granted immunity. it's two separate issues. we very much need a special prosecutor, chuck, we need someone who is independent of the justice department to get to the bottom of this. i say one more thing. the silence of my repub

nebraska republican senator ben sasse is our guest. we just have the cbo score of the health care bill that passed the house. book points. reduces the deficit by 120 billion over ten years, insurance markets would be safe, stable. premiums would increase an average of 20%. 4% in states that don't take the waiver. but you would have 23 million more people uninsured. your assessment of this and how it factors in to the health care debate in the senate. >> the house bill was not going to be the bill we were going to vote on in the senate either way. the house passed something that created a reset moment for the senate to tackle repeal and replace. i want to see as a health care system where american families can buy the policies they want the goes with them across job and geographic change and frankly this city hasn't been serious about dealing with health care reform that were going to need. that's what i like to see us do. it >> bret: senate majority leader told reuters "i don't know how we get to 50 votes of the moment, but that's the

earlier this evening, i sat down with republican senator ben sasse of nebraska.spoke before the announcement of robert mueller as the special counsel to investigate ties between russian and the trump campaign. we look at how his party's leadership is handling the fallout, and his new book, "the vanishing american adult." he is a republican who has been about his opposition to mr. trump. i began by asking for his response to the recent events. >> well, there's just a lot we don't know, so let's first be humble about how little we know. but it's very important that we, those of us who are called to be public servants for a time, are constantly thinking about what can we do to rebuild, not further erode public trust? we have the institutions of our democratic republic that have 9%, 12%, and 15% approval ratings, and that's not sustainable. the federal bureau of investigation is a really important institution, and we need to all want to sheppard it. we want it to be protected from political influence, to not be a place the american people think of as a partisan agenc

senator ben sasse serving on the judiciary committee talking about the very troubling findings and many others, mike barnicle, talking about how this investigation needs to go forward. the senate investigation, mike, is just starting to take off right now. >> and every bit of it -- i hope the senate completes it so they can come to the same conclusion that everyone else has and that every person has said, whether it's been clapper or others that there is no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. >> the investigation has just started, sarah. that's like a prosecutor starting a criminal case saying no, we don't have the evidence yet, but that's why we have an investigation. >> again, i said i'm glad that they will be able to complete that because i think, and i'm very confident, they are going to come to the same conclusion that everyone else that's gone down this rabbit trail will come to, that there is no evidence of collusion. >> it's not a rabbit trail. there's so much evidence for them to follow, they're going to be doing this for quite some time. somethin

to be the trade representative is drawing criticism from republican senators john mccain and bill sassedgerton joins us capitol hill. what is the opposition centered on? anna: their main concern with the pick was with nafta and what would happen with those renegotiations. senator mccain is from arizona and says the state depends heavily on cross order trade with mexico and sass is from nebraska, a state that depends heavily on agriculture. both of those senators have consistently said that they are concerned about what the future of nafta is going to look like and that we need to renegotiate this deal, not scrap it. david: tammy baldwin has thrown his support -- or support behind the nominee. how many other democrats are supporting it? anna: every democrat who went to the side of this nominee is one more republican they can afford to lose. trade is where president trump differs the most from republican orthodoxy. he says he will put america first and that he is not a fan of these multilateral trade deals typically pursued by republicans. the kind of agrees with some democrats and it gi

senator sass tweeted the picture with the words, quote, holy moly.s like senator schumer and i are smoking reefer outside a wedding. senator schumer replied to that tweet by quoting ron burgundy, well, that escalated quickly. let's go back and drink in this photograph for one second. it looks like i was going to say the parking lot of "dazed and confused" maybe or -- >> the one guy is always going like this. >> right, exactly, shaking his head. or the morning after every college party or a wedding, like what happened last night. >> so weird to see them in t-shirt and shorts, so out of context. >> i know. i love that shot. first low goes to the men's wear trend being foisted upon us, the romp a romper for men. ready made in pastel designs for your summer leisure collection. it is made by ace design which made a kick starter page which as of this morning raised $350,000. i guess we're doing this. fancy pants will retail for $119. scholars in the field of rompers pointed out this week that sean connery's james bond actually pioneered the romphim in 1964

i'm thinking about folks like ben sass, jeff flag, lindsey graham. these are people that take their role very seriously as checks on the executive branch, and you're already seeing them coming out last night with statements saying they can't justify this so i think that problems are about to get worse, not better. >> important to note the actual letter did not say thank you for the service of fbi james comey, but thanking him for telling president trump three times he is not under investigation. jonathan swan, live in washington. thank you. >>> and james comey dismissal has drawn sharp criticism from the left. many including chuck schumer are calling for a special prosecutor to oversee the investigation into the trump campaign ties to russia. >> president trump called me and informed me he was firing director comey. i told the president, mr. president, with all due respect, you're making a big mistake. first question the administration has to answer is why now. if deputy attorney general rosenstein does not appoint an independent special prosecutor,

>> rich burr, ben sasse, principled conservatives. this is a character test for the republican party, and it's going to go on for a while. a lot of them are failing the character test. they're putting their integrity and their principles in a blind trust. it's about one of the only blind trusts we have in washington right now. but, you know, they're making their loyalty to this man, this very flawed, impetuous and possibly incriminated man, the basis of their political future. it's a very risk political strategy for them, and i can't believe there won't be some others who will rise as barry goldwater and others did during watergate and come out of this looking good because they went to conscience and principles. >> by all accounts. charlie sykes, charlie alter, thanks for appearing with us on a friday night. coming up after another break, on the very week trump invites henry kissinger to the oval office, he finds himself being compared to richard nixon. and now visitors to the oval might be looking for microphones. we're back with mor

senator ben sasse, senator joe manchin and representative eric swalwell will join in on the conversation. >>> the regime has also authorized the extra judicial killings of thousands of detainees using mass hangings at the military prison. the regime responsible for killing as many as 50 detainees per day. credible sources have believed that many of the bodies have been disposed in mass graves. we now believe that the syrian regime has installed a crematorium in the prison complex which could dispose of detainees' remains with little evidence. >> so that military prison nicknamed the slaughter house is located 45 minutes just outside damascus and is just one of the facilities where it is believed prisoners are held and abused. it purported to show the prison and its corruption. as many as 70 prisoners are held in cells with the capacity of five. he has previously denied that mass executions take place at this facility. stewart jones adds that the mass executions were carried out, quote, seemingly with the unconditional support of russia and iran. when asked if he believes russia or iran h

i had senator ben sasse on my radio show this morning, chairman of the judiciary committee. he spent all day yesterday in an information facility, trying to organize the request not just for that memo but all comey memos. he concurred it would have been appropriate for the former director at the testimony that he gave on may the 3rd before the judiciary committee to have alerted the committee if he felt any pressure from the president to stop the investigation. i think we're a long way off from articles of impeachment. i think it is grand standing to bring them. but it is certainly very serious, and i would like to read all of the comey memo and all of the other ones, if he's been keeping a file like jay edgar hoover damni damning cia milefiles. what did the president say and what did he intend by what he said? >> michael, this obviously could be key. can we get our hands on the memos? we just know what was read over the phone from someone close to comey, from what was in this one memo. but we're talking now about a paper trail. does it surprise you at all, based on what you

nebraska republican senator ben sasse calls the circumstances of the firing, quote, troubling. >> i'm not sure how the president makes lots of decisions, i honestly don't know. i know we are in the midst of a civilization warping crisis of public trust and need to talk honestly about our institutions that need to be restored and need to have the ability for people in five and eight and ten years to trust these institutions. >> reporter: sass is not alone in his assessment. the u.s. institutions are under siege. >> i think our institutions are under assault externally, and that's the big news here is the russian interference in our election system, and i think as well our institutions are under assault internally. >> internally from the president? >> exactly. >> reporter: the secretary of state appeared to see it differently that president trump has a management style that dictates no one can take their job for granted. . >> i'm devoted to helping the president achieve his objectives, be successful and i have to earn his accomplishments every day with how he goes about his affairs. >>

. >>> let's bring in republican senator ben sasse. he's just related a book, the fannishing american adult. first, the news of the week. you heard general mcmaster right there. his reaction to the meeting with the russians. where the president was apparently freelancing when he talked about james comey and said the pressure was off after he fired them. was it appropriate for the president to talk to the russians about that? >> well, i mean, let's be clear. obviously, we don't have aligned interests with russia. putin in particular is an enemy of free spech, religion, press, assembly the beating heart of american. we have to be clear we don't have alined interests with russia. there's a lot in the last segment that is encouraging for the people of america. general mcmaster is a special guy. the president should be applauded for having him in place. i heard most of your segment. he said the biggest problem between u.s. and russian relations is russian behavior. that's a good thing to have the administration acknowledges. >> i agree. it

someone like senator ben sasse talking about this. once you see republicans stepping up more saying this is really about preserving the credibility of our checks and balances and tampered within a dangerous way, that will start moving people. in terms of the independent commissioner special prosecutor, i don't see that coming from republicans. this discussion with senator graham saying we cannot move forward until we pressure russia. this has to come on republicans not to rush to take some legal action or join with calls for prosecutors or impeachment, which i think democrats are overdoing. they need to start talking to the president and public about what this is doing to our democracy. what russia did and why it is important that the president never seems to talk about that and what this kind of back and forth about is appropriate. it would have been fine if i asked for loyalty. these are the kinds of lines that can't be crossed. republicans need to talk about that. >> michael smerconish, it was interesting. "60 minutes" did somethin

among them, ben sasse of nebraska.s of how you think corrector comey handled the unprecedented 2016, this is troubling. the president said that jim comey told him three times he was not under investigation. okay. i'm not saying we don't know that to be true, but we don't know how that happened, what the context was, you're not a target, you're not a subject, you're not involved at all. they seem to be creating space, that if a month from now, they don't sense cooperation or they think this is an effort to tamp down the fbi investigation, they've given themselves room to speak out. >> i think that's right. >> yeah, and i think that's right. and i think, look, senator sasse is one of those senators that has not held his tongue when he's had criticism when it comes to the russia issue, as well. but i will note, what he said publicly in that statement is repeated behind the scenes from just about every republican senator. >> and you hear dana bash was reporting this, they were taken aback at the white house. they thought t

. >> and juan, how about ben sasse's comment? that's sort of where i am.'s just weird it's always russia, isn't it? >> and i think that's what's given this such life. it's the context of russia. it's the investigation, the firing of comey, the visit in the oval office, the russian press only in the oval office, releasing the pictures. and then now this, right? and so, it is the context of russia that feels very odd and feels suspicious, especially those who are skeptical of the president and suspicious of potential collusion, right? that's the theory, that this is troubling. i try to bring it back to basic principles. is what the president did, does that make any sense? was he trying to do something that's actually advancing u.s. interests? and i think, again, going back to this question of, can we trust the russians? can we work with them. certainly, we should try. but maybe not. and i'm no russian lover. i think, you know, we should be incredibly skeptical. and secondly, how is the president managing these issues from a foreign policy perspective, especi

with regard to data breaches following on what senator sass was asking, given the amount of sensitive data held by the fbi, what are you doing to protect your own systems? >> well, a whole lot. i don't want to talk about it too much in an open forum but it is a constant worry of all of us. since i've been director i've put a senior executive fbi director in charge because i want something waking up every morning about how might we lose data, who might be penetrating us, either our systems or a human asset. a ton of work has gone into protecting our systems. the weakest link is always the people. you can have the greatest fire walls but if your people are engaging in negligent or intentional misconduct, all of that is defeated. we're spending a lot of time making sure we have a rich picture of our people that is constant and doesn't depend upon five-year polygraph investigations but shows us flags of a troubled employee in realtime. that's hard to do and build technically and as a matter of law and policy but we're working very hard on it. >> in your opinion, is congress doing enough t

democrats on it because they run the senate, but there are three republicans on the committee, ben sass and jeff flake and lindsey graham who are among the most non-fans of president trump in the republican party, and my sense is the vetting process is going to be very, very interesting to watch once that nominee, whoever he or she is, gets before that committee. >> woodruff: how does all this play with the business of trump supporters? >> well, you know what, here we go again. we have seen throughout the campaign and in the first four months that whatever happens in washington or the editorial pages of the newspaper, trump's base is happy with what's he's doing. the great majority of republicans think he was right the fire comey. this is the broader story. we're so polarized, we're like warring tribes, that whoever is the head of my team, i'm going to defend come hell or high water. the other part about that is that the reporting in the media is going to have very little effect on that base. we've learned from a recent pew poll that if you ask people, do you think the media should act

i heard that even this morning from ben sass.ays general mcmaster, he's a really, really great public servant and honorable man, but goes on to say "but when i look at mcmaster's quote, it's a pretty technical quote. i think it's actually something quite different from a full rebuttal of the story." >> let me tell you what i think was driving mcmaster last night. he admitted, look, we did talk about threats to aviation. that was discussed in the meeti meeting. he said we didn't reveal sources and methods information. but i think what was driving mcmaster was in the very beginning of "the washington post" article, it said that intelligence was jeopardized, our sources were jeopardized, and i think h.r. mcmaster sitting in on that meeting did not have that feeling. he thought it was something worth sharing, and i think that frustration was driving him to make that very technical statement and i think further explanation will confirm that. >> what further explanation are you looking for? >> he gave a 30-second statement in front of

nebraska senator ben sass will argue that america's youth are not prepared for adulthood and this weekend on "after words," stewart taylor will explore sexual assault on college campuses. >> they have sewn, the universes have sewn and the obama administration has shown, i think, resoundingly that they are incompetent at doing this, and that they are terribly biased. the incompetence is they don't know how to investigate. don't have subpoena power. don't do good scientific evidence. don't dig up evidence. they train their so-called adjudicators by telling them, almost all guys who do this are guilty. if the guy is persuasive and logical when he says he is innocent that's a sign of guilt. if he is not persuasive, that is a sign of guilt. that's it stanford's process. the question is, is there any way this system can be reformed? so that it's not so guilt presuming? theoretically there is and i hope the trump administration will take steps to do it. in practice i have grave doubts knowing what the campuses are like today, knowing how skewed to the left and skewed to the extreme feminist side
