people out there in minnesota and wisconsin and other states. that doesn t mean that as democrats we can t do two things at once. and i believe we can do this. i m a mom, i believe you can do this. one is to focus on this economic opportunity issue which is so important to our constituents, but the other, we do have a duty as elected officials in the senate to be in emergency break. when the president takes on the first amendment, when the president goes after independent judiciary, when the president gds after the workings of our democracy, yes, we have an obligation to do that, but it doesn t mean you can t do two things at once. quickly before i let you go, mark zuckerberg i never get to ask about what men wear. somebody mentioned this morning he should wear a suit and tie to the hearing. do you concur? i think so. it is a congressional hearing and i know he s used to his t-shirt. he owns one. he owns one, and he can afford to buy one, so i think he s okay. i think he should r
senators calling for impeachment when the investigation is still going on. and i ve heard republicans like lindsey graham say very clearly they want to protect that investigation as well. so, i don t see a big difference here and i think they are trying to use that politically. being in wisconsin with tammy yesterday, what people want to talk about are the things that matter to them in their everyday lives and that is the cost of prescription drugs. that is doing something to make sure that they are going to have health care. that is making sure that they can afford to send their kids to college. and that is the focus of most people out there in minnesota and wisconsin and other states. that doesn t mean that as democrats we can t do two things at once. and i believe we can do this. i m a mom, i believe you can do this. one is to focus on this economic opportunity issue which is so important to our constituents, but the other, we do have a duty as elected officials in the senate to be

lead conductor was in the passenger section not in the cab. instead the engineer and a conductor in training were in the cab. the engineer still allowed to operate the train. under amtrak policy he couldn t operate the train unless he was qualified and familiar with this territory. so the answer would be yes, within the preefs two weeks he d been qualified to operate on the territory. reporter: but the ntsb says the crew did not hit the emergency break before the derailment. it was automatically saactivate. but still no answer why on its very first run at a new passenger route the train sped at 80 miles per hour, much faster than the posted 30 mile per hour speed limit for the kuvd section of the track. they also know this, lifesaving technology called positive train control was not activated on this brand new passenger rail line.
would not be doing something like that. part of our jobs now. we re emergency break. stress test every day for the constitution. and one of the major things we need to do is protect the first amendment right for news gathering. my dad was a reporter his whole life and i care a lot about this issue. i don t want you to go to jail, chris. thank you, senator. i appreciate that. there s a piece of legislation that pertains to the russia efforts and the russia efforts to disrupt. you have introduced legislation along with senator warner, to essentially require a transparent labelling of advertising by platforms like facebook, so that you can stamp out foreign advertising influence. what is the idea here? this is a really big deal and we are unveiling this tomorrow. and it is a bipartisan bill with senator warner and senator mccain. what this is about, it s a
