the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: as we grieve with the communities from el paso and dayton and midland, i can't help but be reminded of the seattle jewish federation, marysville, seattle pacific university, freeman high school, and so many other communities in my home state of washington and nationwide that are suffering as a result of tragic and tragically preventable gun violence. after each of these heartbreaking events, families in washington state ask me why does this keep happening and why can we not stop it? and the answer is the same every time. we can't stop it because republicans, led by leader mcconnell and now president trump, won't let us. because of this inaction, we have entered a very destructive cycle. people going about their days to school and movie theater, place of worship to places where they should feel safe, lose their lives to gun violence. communities and democrats speak out. we call for commonsense reforms such as the universal background checks which the vast majority of americans

this we can speak to steve clemons who is editor at large at the hill he joins us now from washington d.c. mr clemens what in your mind is more damaging here the court itself or now this alleged attempted cover up of the cole because that suggests someone in the white house understood the gravity of what had happened the rule in american politics with any white house is that often it's the cover up that is the greater challenge the greater crime than the underlying behavior and i think when nancy pelosi said today it's a cover up it's a cover up it shows that that the democratic party right now under her leadership essentially is has is not going to back away and we're going to see a real battle over this so it's the cover up that right now is is driving investigators all the facts the case to think that these revelations could be damaging for others and and here i'm wondering about attorney general william barr and rudy giuliani both of them implicated in all of this. well they could be but i think right now we're still trying to understand the various dimensions in the pieces in this puzzle

it sounds like you're getting out of washington. mrs. james: we are, but we need to do more. think one of the strengths of the heritage foundation is that we are not associated with a university. so we don't have that sort of pressure from the established university to push us in one direction or another. we receive our donations from a wide swath of the american people, so we can largely be independent. we are not looking to any one major donor to please. we want to be known for our scholarship, for our research, for our data, our analysis. so for that reason, i think it puts us in a very unique position to have that many people who are supporting the heritage foundation. susan: how large is the staff and how many scholars? mrs. james: north of 100 scholars. and these are some of the most incredible scholars, the research. sometimes, when i sit in meetings at the heritage foundation and i listen to -- and it's largely a very young staff as well, to see these young people, i tell them they are scary smart as they put the time, the energy, and the effort in. the staff is somew

former communications director for the democratic national committee and he joins us now from washington d.c. mr nifong to democrats especially nancy pelosi were very reticent about pushing for impeachment for quite some time and when you look at the electoral math heading into 2020 you can see why so what's changed now what's pushed the democrats over the edge. yeah it's a great question i think this is such a clear fact pattern in a way that with robert muller and the investigation over russia there are lots and lots of damning behavior there that i found but the way that worked out was the time the the outrage had sort of worn off by the time that the report actually came out and then mr miller was very understated about the whole thing so i think it was clear that there was some obstruction of justice there but then there's a question is there an underlying crime so it all became a big muddle now what we see is literally the day after testifies before congress and it seems like well that was kind of you know from a theatrical. perspective it wasn't that exciting so people thought ok this imp

good evening look it's very interesting to note that mr trump and the administration in washington have been mendez shias and morally reprehensible over the period that they have been talking about the iranian issue and really the iranian leadership has quite clearly seen through the serial lying that exists in washington and they really do not trust what is coming out of washington and mr trump in particular because the history is there that they would say something now and change their mind later on and mr pompei oh very clearly and we very proudly not long ago said that we lie we cheat and we steal so who is iran going to negotiate with with law is with cheaters and those who want to steal so i think the line that iran is taking is actually quite honorable quite dignified and at the same time it has the basis not to really trust what washington wants to achieve if washington is really interested in sort of carrying on with negotiations that quite rightly like rouhani has said and also the supreme leader that get rid of the sanctions get rid of maximum pressure then perhaps we can tal

got to go to the apollo 11 upon washington monument -- >> 50th anniversary. mr. lowe: yeah. focusg into more detailed on what washington, d.c. has to offer. >> when students come into class , there are big political things happening, congress does something, what is the number one thing you hear from your students in terms of current political events when they come to you? mr. lowe: they kind of regurgitate whatever their parents say, whatever viewpoints they carry from home into the classroom. that is pretty much their focus. regardless of issue, gay marriage, abortion, the military, it is whatever their parents have taught them. that is why we definitely try and instill the capacity and ability for the kids to read through the sources themselves and make their own determinations. in fact, i had some of my students this last year take one of the i side with poles to find out which political party they would allow with -- align with. some said solely democrat and they take the quiz and it is completely conservative. also on the flipside. i think teaching them how to understan

the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i come to the senate floor this afternoon with my democratic colleagues to voice my strong opposition to this administration's move to take money away from our military to fund president trump's wasteful border wall. now, i often say we make a promise as a nation to take care of our service members and their families, sacrificing to defend our freedoms. but the pentagon's announcement this week that it plans to move billions, billions of dollars away from critical military construction projects across our country is more than a broken promise to our troops. it is an egregious abuse of power that undercuts congress' constitutional obligation to set our nation's budget, and it compromises critical national security priorities. so earlier today democrats on our appropriations committee and i support offed an amendment to -- supported an amendment to the defense appropriations bill that would prevent the president from undermining congress' authority. and i was very disappointe

ethics and public policy center and a columnist at the washington post he joins us now from washington d.c. mr olson in your mind what's more damaging here the call itself we're now this alleged attempted cover up of the court after it took place i mean that presumably shows that someone in the white house did understand the gravity of what had happened and also speaks to the culture in the west wing well 1st of all there are allegations we don't know what the facts are the facts will come out through the investigation so i think right now the damaging thing is the call the call is something where he clearly mentions joe biden's name he clearly talks about it in a way that implies that he wants some information and he puts a non government employee a former new york mayor and his personal attorney rudy giuliani as the contact person that's the problematic thing right now the alleged cover up could these revelations also be damaging for others you talked about rudy giuliani there potentially also attorney general william bell. well we'll see again what bar did or did not do any certainly his na

the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: thank you, mr. president. i want to thank my colleague from alabama for his tremendous leadership on this really critical effort, because right now we are days away from a very damaging lapse in funding for our hbcu's, our tribal colleges and other minority-serving institutions, and that creates unnecessary and needless uncertainty for students in schools across the country. now, mr. president, both of my colleagues spoke of music and the need for harmony. well, it appears to me that the bill that the senator from alabama is asking us to approve today for the funding for hbcu's is a heck of a lot of harmony. the house has already acted to fix this. they sent this bill to the senate on a bipartisan basis. all members of the house supporting it and paid for it in a way that even the white house supports. in this day and age, i would that i can that harmony. so i am very frustrated about today's opposition to a very simple step to protect colleges and universities with such important missions. and, mr. president,

schneider who is a professor of public policy at george mason university and he joins us now from washington d.c. mr snyder joe biden has said that he supports impeachment as long as the trumpet ministration continues to be obstructionist but now the president is saying that he'll release a transcript of the call so where does that leave all of this. leaves it up in the air a lot depends on what's in that transcript and whether president from can claim that his conversation with the president of ukraine had no connection at all with the military aid that was due to be sent to the ukraine and was being held up the question was the question will be was there a quid pro quo between the military aid and the request for an investigation so depending on what's in the transcript your take is that they may not be an impeachment inquiry that could be halted potentially. will almost certainly be an impeachment inquiry what we don't know is whether they'll be a vote of whether it will end up in a vote for impeachment you need a majority of the house to vote for impeachment now that's what happened of course wi

reporter: "washington post." mr. chairman, in your view, is there any risk to the united states having much higher interest rates than europe and japan and other parts of the world? is there any risk to the global economy? mr. powell: i guess i would say it this way, global capital markets are highly integrated and our rates are long rates are definitely pulled down by the very, very low rates that are abroad. and the way i would characterize it is this. the low rates abroad are assign expectation. low growth and you know, just kind of a lack of policy space to move against or ideas about how to break out of that. there are implications for us. in a world where economies and financial marget are integrated, that matters. that is going to pull down u.s. rates and u.s. financial conditions can tighten because of that. i think we put all of that and goes into our thinking and modes and we do understand how the international sector interfaces and we take that into account in setting our u.s. policy. thank you very much.

mr. trump, of course, sometimes cozy relationship toward bhutan, have been mystifying from the start. also, "the washingtont" released a story late friday, that mr. trump told washington officials that he didn't think rush russia's interference in the 2016 election was a big deal. >> he's said things similar to that before. he is equating what the united states does to what russia does. that's where the danger is. this is not a conversation. by a candidate or a friend. of president bhutan or the ambassador, whatever. this is the president of the united states, essentially saying, if the story is correct, it wasn't a big deal if russia interfered in the election. the united states has done some things, interfering in other country's. there's no question about that. more recently, the united states is helping organizations how to run a campaign. it's found advisers to run. you cannot equate what the united states is doing with what russia is doing. >> right. something you mentioned, i would like you to talk more about, how the impeachment story might affect russia's aspirations with ukraine while the united

washington. the paper says mr fox will urge the uk government to accept attempts to salvage the anti—nuclear agreementoil output will be back to normal by the end of the month, with half the production lost in a recent drone attack on two key facilities already restored. in the ft, bill gates, the billionaire microsoft co—founder, has said climate activists are wasting their time lobbying investors to ditch fossil fuel stocks, and instead should put their money and energy behind disruptive technologies that slow carbon emissions. and finally, also in the times, should we be careful whilst driving and listening to certain genres of music? according to a recent study carried out in china, motorists listening to no music or light music changed lanes about 70 times an hour, while those listening to rock did

mr. trump placed a congratulatory call as he was en route from his mar-a-lago resort in florida to washington. he urged mr. zelensky to coordinate with mr. giuliani and to pursue investigations of corruption according to people familiar with the call, the details of which have not previously been reported. late today, trump spoke out about the impeachment investigation, his phone call in july, and efforts to make the whistle-blower's complaint public. >> i've spoken with leader kevin mccarthy and the republicans, many of them, and we were going to do this anyway. but i've informed them, all of the house members, that i fully support transparency on the so-called whistle-blower information. the witch hunt continues. but they're getting hit hard on this witch hunt because when they look at the information, it's a joke. impeachment for that? i think you should ask for the first conversation. it was beautiful. it was just a perfect conversation. but i think you should do that. i think you should do, and i think you should ask for v.p. pence's conversation. if you take a look at that call, it was

the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: i join my democratic colleagues on the floor today to once again speak out against this president and his administration's outrageous abuses of executive power. and while unfortunately there is a myriad of presidential abuses to which i could be referring, today, this evening i'm here to discuss two of his most recent and most egregious actions that not only run afoul of congress' authority and our constitutional system of checks and balances but also compromise our national security. it began with the president making a phony national emergency declaration to bypass congress and steal money to build his border wall under the auspices of a,, quote-unquote, crisis, one of the president's own making in pursuit of advancing the most anti-immigrant agenda this country has seen in generations, all manufactured to secure federal funds to build his often touted vanity wall on our southern border, a wall the american people were not supposed to pay for and that we time and time again

. >> heather long from the "washington post." mr. chairman, in your view, is there any risk to the united states having much higher interest rates than europe and japan and other parts of the world? is there any risk to the u.s. economy to that divergence or risk to the the global economy? >> so i guess i would say it this way. it's global markets are highly integrated. hour rates are long rates are definitely being pulled down by the very, very low rates that are abroad. and we don't characterize it like that. the low rates abroad are a symbol or a sign, rather, of a weak global growth. expectations of low inflation, low growth and it's just a lack of policy space to move against. who how to break out of that. that implication is for us. in a world where economies and financial markets are tightly integrated, that matters for the u.s. economy. so that's going to pull down u.s. rates and u.s. financial conditions can tighten because of that. so i think we put all of that goes into our thinking and into our models. we do understand ho
