go along with these nominees and so do many things that i know in their hearts and minds is wrong. let me ask you about the supreme court nominee judge gorsuch. today a spokesperson for him confirmed something that had been claimed by senator dike blumenthal. senator blumenthal said he had a meeting with the judge and the judge in that meeting described the way president trump has attacked judges in cases against him, described those attacks as disheartening and demoralizing. that means the judge is putting some distance between himself and president trump. did anything like that happen in your meeting? what s your take on this? i asked judge gorsuch to publicly condemn donald trump s attacks on the judiciary. i said this president shows so little respect for an independent judiciary that the bar is higher and any nominee particularly by the supreme court to this president has to show independence. i said you have an obligation to publicly condemn the actions of
some of the bad things they can do. it will encourage us to go after them in every way when they do those things. senator, it was my personal impression that as the obama administration left, over the course of the transition after president trump won the election, started to put together his team, started to announce his dab in the nominees, it was my impression from the outgoing obama administration that the person they were most concerned about was jeff sessions. not because of personal animus against him but because they felt the justice department was something that shouldn t take a very, very hard right turn. and if it does it s something that could hurt the country and be weaponized against the president s opponents. what are you worried about when it comes to jeff sessions? when jeff sessions was passed it turned my stomach. i don t have anything against him personally. it s known we here in that gym together in the morning but to
comments that the president s attacks on judges were demoralizing and disheartening. senator blumenthal will be a live guest talking about that and other matters on the last word after this show so you should stay here after me. although there s more me. i ll be right back. gave us the power to turn this enemy into an ally? mosquitoes are the ultimate field biologists, taking blood samples from every animal they bite. microsoft and its partners are using smart traps to capture mosquitoes and study the dna they collect. using the microsoft cloud, we can analyze over 100 million pieces of dna in every sample, so we can identify where diseases come from and how they spread. with the cloud, what used to take 30 days now takes 12 hours, and every second counts. if we can detect new viruses before they spread, we may someday prevent outbreaks
we have strong values, it s what america should be about and what happened is the donald trump presidency moved so far to the right it s hard to see compromising with them on almost anything because they are not what donald trump campaigned on. as i said to you last time, if he were to say i ll abolish the carried interest loophole yeah, of course we d support him but they re not close to that. this administration still occasionally talks populist but its actions are hard right and that bad news not only for america but them. we ve never had a hard right government. we ve never had a president, house and senate that are hard right. it s so far away from the views of average americans and i would posit the views of most trump voters that they ll have a real hard time. chuck schumer, thank you for your time. i know it s been a week of late nights already. i m filled with energy, i m invigorated by the fight. thank you, sir.
