and that is why james langford and i are working so hard to try to get that funding out that, and so that's the first bill i want to mention to you guys. 386 million for election security. it also requires information to go to state election officials and so that there are certain people in each state that would have a security clearance so they could receive that information. do you know that that issue about the 21 states, my state didn't find out until it went public that they had tried to hack into our state. i didn't know it. i have ben talking about this issue for months. we didn't know it and in the case of illinois, they got right into the voter security. we have support for this bill from the freedom caucus. go figure, and in the house mark meadows is carrying a similar version, actually the identical bill to one that i had done with lindsey, that is the very-- it's a little bit different than the one that senator langford and i have. and both those bills are named at this because there's concern on the left and on the right that if you have a hack somewhere, when you have d

senator langford, good morning. >> good morning. >> many times when we talk to senators we say take us inside the room, but we got to see it all. >> you were there. >> so my question for you though is based on what we saw, how likely do you think a bipartisan deal on daca is? >> i think it has been very likely all along. the president in september came out and said, i want to be able to have a legislative solution for daca. i want to also do border security, do chain migration, and he added later the visa lottery when it became a big issue. those four issues he has hammered on over and over again. there's been meetings in a bipartisan way for about three months now to try to be able to work through the process to figure out what that is. then you saw a larger gathering of it yesterday at the white house. >> but it sound -- >> i think it is very likely. >> it sounded like senator feinstein got the president to sign off on a clean bill. >> you would have to be there for the whole context of the whole meeting. the whole meeting was about two hours. the press was in there about the first 5

population, something close, something compassionate, something very similar or between me and senator langford, senator hatch, bridge the difference, it is a way in the e enough progress. what some of our colleagues call the family unification which has been abuse and needs to be fixed and others call it change migration. at the end of that meeting, we agreed that what we needed to do is have those in the house and the senate, democrats and republicans agree to a timeline as scheduled and then get together and work out the differences. i think that they should have been open to the public so they could see what theve differences are because they could realize we are not that far apart. we archived and a half liter and the parties haven't reached an agreement on the scheduled to begin the negotiation. now we have another group of people that say we have something pretty close and we may follow a bill. let me tell you the problem i have with that bill or the concept of the bill. we don't have something we can score that we ca but we can lood understand the benefits and the risk and issues associ

do you have people like langford, grassley and core anyone wanting to see amnesty instead of sending them back to where they originated? >> i think there is a significant number of people who want amnesty. but that's not what we were elected to do. president trump and others of us ran on opposition to the extension of the daca program. but we are seeing a lot of confusion when we say daca. that's basically a deferred action program. when i talk to daca students, they don't want a daca extension, they want a clean dream act. it's the amnesty my colleagues want. that's not good for our country or for future immigration issues, nor is it good for keeping campaign promises. charles: i want to bring in our panel. capri, it feels like democrats have a lot of leverage. chuck schumer pushing this very hard. it feels like president trump has a sympathetic ear on this issue. >> i do think that president trump does have a sympathetic ear. but he sees this as an opportunity to get money for the wall and he's not going to back down from that. it's a campaign promise he presented. and democrats ar

senator james langford was in the minister and senator, one in oklahoma. my oklahoma. my guess will probably go back to what he was doing before. that's what we need. more of that. i promise we'll get a moderately. i was having too much fun. sorry. both of the books, steve, dave and corey. we will get a special deal for students. five bucks apiece. now, six bucks a piece or two for 10 bucks. i came up with that idea. anyhow. the books are great. they will be here toe sign the. or maybe i'll over there. anyhow, god bless. you are dismissed. thank you. [inaudible conversations]

just a short while ago, a group of -- senator langford kind of under scoring that on their side. if those senators are involved in the final deal, democrats are going to support that deal. in the end, not a lot of people are proud of. the hope on the democratic side right now is this sets the stage for resolutions. this does not end anything and there is no major deals, there is still a huge number of things to be dealt with including the most divisive of all and that's immigration. >> bi phil mattingly, we appreciate you. >> the president has not yet to say anything on camera. le lets go to dana. on this regard, the president stumbled to victory on this one. he's been quiet during this shutdown. are there any plans for the president to at all to make public comments today? >> that's still an open question. my colleague was here earlier today that the president would come out and say something, make a comment if and when this reaches his desk. as you saw, sarah sanders came out and wrote a statement for the president. as you pointed out, he was noticeably quiet over the weekend.

with your separate piece of legislation, the next speaker is senator kaufman and after that, senator langford and i will yield over to my colleagues because i have another meeting i have to go to. >> the senator from arkansas. >> thank you chairman grassley for your leadership and offering vaguanto secure act. i would continue to debate where the senator left off. we have heard a lot today about the so-called program and the kind of negotiations are currently engaged in hopefully reach a solution to satisfy all the parties and inserted the equal protection to the population. we've heard a lot today about border o security. if you are a citizen you can bring anyone of your relatives to this country not just your spouse and unmarried minor kids and family, but also your adult kids and their spouses and their children, your adult brother and sister and your parents and their siblings and so on and so forth. each person is a potential link. so they do so for that reason that they just had to be relatee related to somebody that is already here. now we've heard a lot of talk about the american drea

in the morning you had meetings with a group of republicans including senator langford, purdue and then later on in the afternoon you had the meetings with the democratic senators as well. in terms of what was accomplished it is unclear that the focus was really on immigration. the interesting point is that they haven't been on the forefront of the immigration issue. it is sort of unclear. what is clear here is that the white house wanted to send a message now that the government is reopening they are willing to talk about immigration to get a deal done. >> so i think you and pamela mentioned that the president maybe it was better that the president didn't get involved because he might muck it up. was the president intentionally muzzled over the weekend? did it ultimately help to get a deal? was this probably the best thing for him not to get involved in this? >> you know, was he intentionally muzzled? my experience and all of our experience over the past year is that when people try to intentionally muzzle the president it doesn't work so well. having said that, my sense is that he kin

in a statement, james langford said, quote, if the president's comments are accurate, they are disappointing. >> wow. >>> haiti has been swift in reaction to president trump's alleged remarks. msnbc contributor spoke with the haitian ambassador last night who said they condemn the comments and they are based on stereotypes and either the president has been misinformed or miseducated. they demanded clarification. haiti's former prime minister writes, shame on trump, the world is witnessing a new look with this remark. unacceptable and uncalled for. it shows a lack of respect and ignorance in the history of the united states by any president. enough is enough. it comes after the trump administration ended temporary protection status last november for 35,000 haitians who are granted temporary refugee here in the united states after the 2010 earthquake. today happens to be the eighth anniversary of that disaster and a moment of silence has been preplanned outside the embassy for this afternoon. >> interesting timing, that's for sure. back with us from washington, reporter, julia and deputy news

. >> during an interview with cnn this weekend, james langford said the white house frame work should serve as the president's bond. obviously, he just put it on paper. if he's putting it on pap e not only has he signed off on it his team signed off on it. do you think democrats will operate under those assumptions or not. >> i think democrats will operate under the assumption that this is the opening from the right. they are not going to accept it. the republican fear is that the policy that president trump put forward looks more like what they hoped to negotiate d compromise would look like. there's nowhere for sdept conservatives to go from here if already the opening offer has a pathway for citizenship for 1.8 million of the undocumented immigrants. the plan will only get watered down from here to earn democratic support you do have a will the of nervousness on the right about where the negotiations go from here given that the plan put forward despite the hysterics is fairly middle of the road for this administration. >> i thought it was interesting that we saw people like tom cot

langford and hatch, on their own working, some working with democrats. none of these involve a wall. they involve strict border security and visa reforms. the idea of a wall, when republicans in border states like texas and arizona support it and conservative fiscal hawks are mad about tax cuts and the steep debts they're building up on their republican government watch, it's really hard to imagine that that's going to be something that he's going to get funding for. but he's really thrown a huge wrench into what was already going to be a rollick iing january. >> following a rollicking february. >>> unusual relationship with pakistan, that's next. i tried hard to quit smoking. but when we brought our daughter home, that was it. now i have nicoderm cq. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. it's the best thing that ever happened to me. every great why needs a great how. when your stomach is all, "oh yeah!" but your brain says, "yeeeah...no." well, no longer does watching what you eat mean be

we hope they start working on with this, senator langford and i have a bill along with senators harris and graham, that basically says lets help states in this next election to have stronger voting infrastructure with backup paper ballots and things that will really protect us from hacking. you've got democrats and republicans in the house supporting it. we could potentially get this on in the next month. former secretary chertoff did a piece in "the wall street journal" supporting my work in this area. and i think we must help the states because this would only be 3% of the cost of one aircraft carrier. when you've got russia viewing it as a type of cyber warfare. we just can't sit there unarmed, not protecting our infrastructure. >> and the other thing i think has just happened is jeff sessions today was the deadline, 300 days since the firing of all those u.s. attorneys around the country and so yesterday he appointed 17, replacing acting u.s. attorneys. do you have any concerns, especially given the one who was appointed in a key district in man hat wherehattan where the t is and t

republican senator james langford joins us as part of our "issues that mattered" series. an early facebook investor is warning about what he says the social media giant's harmful effects on society. his ideas for a solution. that plus the eye-opener, your world in 90 seconds. we'll see you at 7:00. >> norah, we are excited to see john dickerson in the morning as well so we'll be watching! >> reporter: aww, thank you. you guys have a great day. >> okay, you, too. >>> the east palo alto city council will have to vote again on whether to allow marijuana businesses in the city. last night's vote ended in a 2- 2 tie so they will have to revote when councilman larry moody is present with the potential tie breaking vote. >>> bart is working to get its new fleet of cars on the tracks. they say state regulators will inspect 10 of the new railcars sometime this week or next. bart failed an initial safety inspection in november. since then, officials say they have improved the hardware and software of the new cars. bart plans to replace all of its 669 railcars with new ones. total c

james langford said the following, the white house and the president have said repeatedly yesterday that they will comply with the special counsel investigation so i think we should take the white house at their word. it was interesting he said white house and not the president. and chuck grassley said, i just don't think the president as unpredictable as he is would fire mueller and i take the view -- directly to the president, just let this work its course. >> i would say they hope -- that he won't fire bob mueller. but the republicans, all of those clips you played, they have been on the record about what they think about this. and i think there is this -- what you have seen is just they don't want to poke him at all on this. so they've been playing games with their words on this. >> it has changed from six months ago when -- what has he done in the six month ins between. in his own whacky impulsive way, he is not stupid. he managed to get republicans on hill in the house to attack the inquiry. >> and even credible republicans like ron johnson. >> and what we call the normal republica

senator langford says he's fine. danes says he's fine as well. the speaker is fine. there's plenty of security as well, not just the speaker who obviously has security but others, capitol police would be on the train as well. >> yes, we have a number of members of leadership but security here. the focus is not on the people on the train but the people in the truck and the family members of the man who died. >> tell me about the truck. what can you see or what do you know about the sanitation truck and how many people were involved in that besides the driver. >> the truck cab itself appears not to have been hit directly. it looks like the train hit it right where the truck cab connects to the dump truck trailer. the trailer is smashed on the ground with garbage everywhere. the cab still has its tires on it. so there was a direct hit to right where the back of the cab attaches to the trailer. amtrak has just released a statement, an amtrak train came into contact with a vehicle that was on the tracks at 11:20 a.m. in crosette, virginia. local law enforcement is investi

in the morning you had meetings with a group of republicans including tillis, langford, perdue, cotton and grassley. and later on in the afternoon you had the meetings with the democratic senators, doug jones and manchin as well. what was accomplished was unclear. the white house said it really was on immigration. the interesting point is that that manchin, senators manchin and jones really haven't been on the forefront of the immigration issue. so it's sort of unclear what was accomplished. but what is clear here, don, is the white house wanted to send a message here today now that the government's reopening that they're willing to talk about immigration to get a deal done. >> okay. so dana, i think you and both pamela mentioned that the president, maybe it was better that the president didn't get involved because he might muck it up. who knows. but was the president intentionally muzzled over the weekend? did it ultimately help to get a deal? was this probably the best thing for him not to get involved in this? >> you know, was he intentionally muzzled? my experience and all of our e

they are cotton and cornyn, grassley, langford, tillis and purdue. they said we will working with democrats and republicans in the house and senate committed to fixing our broken immigration system. i have to say, those are hard liners. cotton, purdue want to reduce the number of legal immigrants coming in. if the president is casting his lot with people referred to as the d.r.e.a.m.ers as illegal immigrants and any sort of path to legal status for the d.r.e.a.m.ers as amnesty, i don't know how you pass a bill in the senate. >> it won't be the bill those 56 proposing. trump may not understand all the intricacies of immigration policy but i think he understands the politics and knows that daca would have to be part of it. there is the possibility that trump sees an opportunity to be a deal maker and redeem himself from being the most irrelevant player in the shutdown resolution. it won't be the deal represented. perhaps he's using his influence to talk to democrats. >> it seems like an obvious deal to fast senate. do something for juan e-scalante. i d

tim tillis and james langford. i think we can find a way forward. >> are you comfortable supporting a deal on this that would include permanent changes in the immigration system when only dealing with the daca population? for instance, i know some democrats say, look, you want to talk about the family migration issue and what those rules are, that's fine. let's just do it for the daca population. don't make changes for the entire system. where are you on that issue? >> well, that's -- first of all, i said this before, chuck. the immigration issue has not been a hot topic in the state of west virginia. people are concerned and they want security and have good opportunities in jobs and on and on and on like everybody else but it has not been of high concern. i haven't been on the front end of this issue. i do understand where everybody's coming from. i understand the issue. >> right. >> and also the urgency of this. i'm comfortable working with any proposal they put in either a large package or a scaled down package,

tom tillis and james langford. a lot of people with knowledge are in this group so i think we can find a pathway forward. i really do. >> are you comfortable supporting a deal on this that would include permanent changes in the immigration system when only dealing with the daca population? for instance, i know some democrats say, look, you want to talk about the family migration issue and what those rules are, that's fine. let's just do it for the daca population. don't make changes for the entire system. where are you on that issue? >> well, that's -- first of all, i said this before, chuck. the immigration issue has not been a hot topic in the state of west virginia. people are concerned and people want security and have good opportunities in jobs and on and on and on like everybody else but it has not been of high concern. i haven't been on the front end of this issue. i do understand where everybody's coming from. i understand the issue. >> right. >> and also the urgency of this. i'm comfortable working with an

with me now is james langford, a member of the senate intelligence committee. thank you for being with us. >> glad to be here. >> when you see what's going on with the white house intelligence committee, is this partisan politics? >> i'll let them work that out. i haven't seen it. we tried to focus on the senate intel side. it's important for the american people to see us all working together. we have to put out a common set of facts and agree on it. >> is it important -- do you think it's important for the department of justice and fbi to have time to review something like this? >> sure it is. any time any information comes out that you can look at and say there are sources to protect long term, it's important everyone looks at it. just an individual reading it may say i don't see a problem. someone in the fbi is going to immediately say i know how that information was gathered. and the person that it was gathered from will know what it is. so it lets information we don't want out. >> one of the republican people said director ray had a chance to look over the

. >> what does it say to you that right now at the white house senator tom cotton and langford and all of the hardline immigration hawks are at the white house. what does that say to you about the next turns in it debate? >> i'm hopeful that president trump is saying to them, folks, i may have run as a hardline anti-immigrant candidate but to governor as president, i need to bring people together and find a bipartisan solution. and i hope he's preparing them for the fact that if we get a bipartisan bill out of the senate, the president will embrace it. that may not be what is happening. my new year's resolution was to be hopeful. so you see me -- >> this is a very rosie picture. >> very rosie picture. but they may inspire the president to do the opposite. so engage in a hard-edged way that will make this debate much more difficult. just two weeks ago we saw that division the same president on tuesday bringing in a bipartisan group, said we need to solve this issue and -- i think he said i want to sign a bill of love that will allow the -- >> that is the guy that lindsey graham called t

senator langford who was here first. >> i appreciate very much you being here in the testimony. let me run threw couple of different questions to get some clarity on thus. mr. murphy, you mentioned by the end of 2020 the advanced electronic data we should be capable of gathering that. then you hesitate and say just because we're capable doesn't mean we're actually doing it. so help me understand the next level. when are we not just capable by the end of 2020. when are we actually getting the data? >> thank you, senator. that's correct. what is happening is n the upu context is the tools are being put in place and capacity is being built so countries have the ability, if they have to da to send it. the bottle next is at the country level, in collecting the data and entering it. >> what is the time frame for that? >> that is yet to be determined. >> 2020, 2(025)203-0124. >> countries will begin deploying requirements forked ad a athey're now entitled to do. those requirements need to be calibrated to the capabilities of the second countries, but it's going to be a driver of furthe

james langford, the senator from oklahoma, pointed out in every one of the government shutdowns there have been more than a dozen that date back to the 1970s, all federal employees have been made whole. of course there's the issue between essential government employees who come to work and the nonessential ones who stay home. the debate after the shutdown about why the government has nonessential employees to begin with. that is the reality in terms of what happens tomorrow, and over the coming days and weeks. things sort of slowly shut down, the larger agencies that have what they call the nonessential activities. the political reality is very different. that really depends on who you ask. this is from dianne feinstein, who is out talking in terms of what might happen, talking about how shutting down the government is a very serious thing. people die. accidents happen. you don't know necessary function can cease. this is going on look very different than in 2013. mick mulvaney at the white house, from the podium earlier today, talking about how if anything they wanted to make sure th

the identical bill to one i've done with lindsay dad is a little bit different than the one senator langford and i have and both of those bills are aimed at this because there's concern on the left and on the right when you have dozens and dozens of states that have updated their election infrastructure equipment in the past decade. you think russia doesn't know that? i'm not disclosing some secret. when you have that going on in something like 10 or 12 -- >> we will be these remarks are earlier today and go live now to the internet policy conference this afternoon. we will hear from congressman bob goodlatte. >> we are on a tight schedule, but to introduce our keynote speaker for the first part of lunch come i want to introduce jeremy berman who i introduced earlier today. jeremy created all of this to create an organization that could carry policy where no one really cared about it. to treat everybody as a stakeholder, even if they didn't know it yet and we've had a long time and now is not the case. this is kind of important and thanks to jerry and the other members of the board of direct

. >> it's very serious -- >> reporter: last month on "face the nation" republican senator james langford says strzok's comments are also calling into question his role on the mueller probe. >> it's clear this individual within the mueller team also on the clinton e-mail investigation team had a strong bias against now president trump. >> reporter: yesterday, fbi director visited the white house to discuss the five months of missing texts. the white house is now releasing a statement disparaging his predecess predecessor comey. >> a lot to discuss there too, thank you very much, paula. >>> olympic gold medal gymnast aly raismman is calling for an independent investigation tore the alleged mishandling of accusations against former team doctor larry nassar. saying, the usa olympic committee is still not acknowledging its own role in this mess. more than 100 women and girls have testified against nassar ahead of the sentencing. more are speaking out this morning. dr. jon lapook is following the story and joins us once again at the table to discuss. >> good morning, gayle. the chairman, vice

that's omb, office of management and budget for senator langford puts it on a continuing basis. they are not difficult. neil: you would not know that. thank you both very, very much. not to more immediate concerns like dr. deal, and other married to a budget agreement, continuing resolution or not. let's just say it's not looking good. would you make of all of this? >> well, we do have a short amount of time of the budget deadline on friday for lawmakers to return to washington and figure out what they are going to do. right now looks as though democrats are determined to withhold their vote for many short-term spending bills over frustrations that they haven't gotten what they wanted in terms of immigration reform and republican who the leadership is still on a retreat today, not even in washington working on a spending bill are pretty frustrated with the president. he opened up to the public to watch. he said he would sign basically an immigration legislation to his desk and now here we are a week later still having negotiations over whether or not there will be any legislativ

cornyn, cotton, langford, and others. one of them says republicans have leverage going forward. >> we learned the american people don't want to have the government shutdown for illegal immigration. we're now on the back side of this shutdown, thankfully. what we've seen is that the democrats' obsession over amnesty for illegal immigrants isn't popular. >> democrats overplayed their hand. >> sandra: what are democrats saying in the aftermath of all this. >> after a meeting on friday, president trump shut him out. >> since our meeting in the oval office on friday the president and i have not spoken. and the white house refused to engage in negotiations over the weekend. the great deal making president sat on the sidelines. >> now his fellow democrats are hoping this weekend battle will lead to a deal on immigration. >> mcconnell made a pledge in front of the world. he told a dozen republicans and it's pretty hard if you're a leader and you have 50 or so members for a fourth of them a good look in the eye, a quarter of them

he had a meeting at the white house on immigration with other senators like senator cotton, perdue, langford and grassley they were informing the president about what they thought could actually pass the senate on a bipartisan basis they said they put to bed graham/durbin, which was the pre-existing bipartisan framework in the senate and trying to work on what comes next this immigration debate is heating up as we now look towards the new deadline in three weeks. not only do you have that debate, which will be exceedingly contentious in both chambers here on capitol hill, but you also don't have the sweeteners, like children's health insurance or the delay of obamacare taxes to get each side on board then you have the introduction potentially of an even more contentious issue, which is the debt limit, which many republicans don't think should be extended or suspended for a day longer we'll see how that plays out first thing's first, we've got to get this bill through the doors of capitol hill today and onto the white house we'll bring you that when it happens. >> yeah, we'll see how quickly

. >> senator langford, who was here first. >> i appreciate you being here and the testimony you have. met run through a couple of different questions to get some clarity. mr. fur measure in you mentioned the advanced electronic data and then you saad just because we're capable doesn't mean door thing that. when are we not just capable but the end of 2020. when are we actually gathering the data? >> thank you, senator. that is correct. what is happening in the upu context is the tools are being put in place and capacities being built so that countries have the ability, if they have the data, to send and receive it. but the bottleneck is at the country level in collecting the data and entering it. >> what is the time frame authorize that? >> that's yet to be termed. >> 2020, 2025, 230? help me understand. >> countries going to begin deploying requirements for aed as they're now entitled to do. those requirements need to be calibrated to the capables of the sending countries-but it's going to be a driver of further deployment. so there isn't at this time a firm deadline by which every co
