joining me now, democratic representative from tennessee, congressman steve cohen.you. you just heard ron's report there. so a great source of frustration for this country has been the lack of meaningful progress that's been made regarding any sort of gun regulations by the federal government. but then recently, there have been states that have had some success passing stricter gun laws. so from congress' point of view, has congress given up passing any gun regulation? is this up to the states now? >> well, the states don't have mitch mcconnell. the senate does, and the house is stymied by him. we passed a gun bill, and it would have -- it was pretty modest, would have required background checks on all purchases, and we also passed a bill concerning the charleston, south carolina, shooting to give a little extra time to check out some applications that would have made stopped that fellow from doing what he did. but mitch mcconnell did not schedule either bill for a hearing. they're pretty simple, easy bills. they'd pass with overwhelming support. but mitch mcconnell

with me now is democratic congressman steve cohen of tennessee.sman, we appreciate you taking the time this morning. >> good morning. thank you. >> you heard the president's comments. he would listen if a foreign government approached him with damaging information about a political rival and would not necessarily report that contact to the fbi. the law as you know is very clear here, election law bars accepting anything of value from a foreigner to influence a campaign. did the president just say that he would be willing to break the law? >> the president did say that and it's just a continuing evidence of the fact that this is a lawless president and a lawless presidency and nothing will stop him. nothing stopped him through his years of not paying contractors on his work, not paying -- going bankrupt many, many times, taking advantage of subcontractors and doing whatever he chose and then just going to court and hiring a michael cohen or rudy giuliani or bill barr to take care of the mess he left behind him. impeachment is for the purpose of get

. >> i talked to steve cohen yesterday. here's another piece. >> they need to be held in contempt.t using the inherent contempt. but the attorney who is are outstanding attorneys think that that would be in the courts for a longer period of time because it's not tried for such a listening time. >> danny? >> i love the inherent contempt power. the sergeant of arms who sounds like a character in a play from the 18th century goes out and arrests folks, maybe congress folks in the office refusing to come to the hill and brings them forcibly to capitol hill. realistically this is not a power that is likely to have a lot of effect. really, i don't think there's going to be any successfuls where they send this individual out. i don't know what he would carry. a revolver or a saber to enforce it. congress has three real sources of power, contempt and a third inherent contempt and burden falls on the sergeant of arms and that's why it's an iffy power to use and still is a power technically available to congress. >> it's political unicorn in many ways. >> sure, yes, exactly. >> i love that's

. >> democratic congressman steve cohen. we appreciate it. >>> among the candidates speaking in the next few hours will be inslee, and we'll bring that to you. but first president trump's reaction to the accusation of sexual assault on e. jean carroll. >> this is about many men, and i was one of the many men that she wrote about. it's a totally false accusation. i have absolutely no idea who she is. there is some picture where we're shaking hands, it looks like, at some kind of event. i have my coat on. i have my wife standing next to me. i didn't know her husband but he was a newscaster. but i have no idea who she is. none whatsoever. it's a false accusation and it's a disgrace. >> robert costa is back with me now with the "washington post." robert, basically it's a he said, she said right now, but that said, the president has not been hurt by this before. we all remember the "access hollywood" tape in 2016, the critics were all sure that was it, the end of his candidacy, and of course he ended up winning. how do you explai

i want to add the only members of the subcommittee on hand when lou alvarez jon stewart talked steve cohen were other new york congress members there, maloney he peter king lee zeldin in audience, where were all other people -- >> no show. dagen: every member on that committee should have been there need to step up, we know that the this fund runs out of money 2020 we know benefits, even the pending claims will be cut, where are they? disgraceful. >> i posted a picture on instagram shot of pools now pools where north and south towers stood a chilling shot here is the picture this is from the 73rd floor 76th florida world trade center three i was -- there the other day we will never forget that is all we want to say. that is, dr.

they should never reelect that steve cohen again, he is an embarrassment.ost: if you describe that resistance against the president, what convinces you he is going to win in 2020. caller: because we are fed up with the resistance and he has a lock in tennessee. he is going to win and it will be an embarrassment for the democrats. all the stuff they pulled against this president. host: that is keith in savannah talking about 2020 the reelection campaign. we are asking republicans only to call and tell us their thoughts about the announcement yesterday by the president. 202-748-8000 if you voted for the president in 2016. 202-748-8001 if you did not vote for the president and 202-748-8002 if you did not vote . for the ones who did not vote for the president in 2016, 1 of those in fredericksburg, virginia, this is james. hello. caller: thanks for taking my call. i did not vote for trump, but if you look at what he has done, our nation is on its way to being where we need to go to pratt -- need to be to prosper. we are on a roll right now and why would you stop

steve? >> yeah. >> okay. >> so, you know, steven cohen -- >> so this is from both of their perspectives. >> yes.s from both of their perspectives. and steven cohen, just to answer that, yes, with anything i do, i'm talking to as many people as i can, and any quote in the book is coming from interviews or court transcripts, recordings that they a made. and steven was not eager to talk -- [laughter] certainly, but, you know, i did get a call from him at about midnight one night, and i figured he'll either yell at me and hang up or i'll talk to him for hours because i've been down this road enough times to know that's usually how it goes, and we talked for hours. so -- >> are you aware of any recent internet technology innovations that have come out of the online sex industry now? >> my research has ended on that. [laughter] yeah. [laughter] you know, i guess what i would say to that, i mean, obviously like virtual reality is a big thing in that industry, augmented reality is big. but,ting you know, forget about the content of that business for a minute. you know, they've been one of the most nimbl

steve bannon, kellyanne conway and jared kushner. i think that's it. question, do you recall reaching out to michael cohen about the tape? answer, my recollection of reaching out to michael took place the following day and tweanit wasn't about the tape, meaning it wasn't about the "access hollywood" tape. it was about -- this is going to get confusing, but the day after the "access hollywood" tape, there were rumors going around and i'm not sure where. i heard it from the spokesperson who had a lot of contacts and grass roots. she called to tell me that or sent me a message about rumors of a tape involving mr. trump in moscow with, you know, can i say this? the transcript notes discussion off record and she comes back on record. trump in moscow with, you know, russian hookers. participating in lewd activities. and so obviously i didn't -- i felt this was exactly how it had been described to me which was a rumor, none the less i wanted to make sure i stayed on fop of it before it developed further to try to contain it from spiraling out of control and the person that made me aware of the rumor said tmz might be the person
