>>> I'M TIRED OF THE LIES THAT ARE COMING OUT OF THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION. AND I'M TIRED OF THE -- THE
RUSSIAN CONNECTION THAT THEY KEEP TRYING TO DENY.
OH, WELL, WE FORGOT ABOUT THIS ONE.
>> THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE GATHERED FOR PROTESTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
ON SATURDAY. THE CALL FOR AN INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION INTO TRUMP'S TIES TO RUSSIA.
THE MARCH ORGANIZERS SAID THEY WANTED TO, QUOTE, LET OUR
ELECTED LEADERS KNOW THAT AMERICANS WANT ANSWERS.
THE FIRED FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY SET TO TESTIFY IN FRONT OF
THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE ON THURSDAY PERHAPS
WE'LL HAVE MORE ANSWERS BY THE END OF THIS COMING WEEK.
JOINING US NOW TO DISCUSS THE NEVER ENDING RUSSIA-GATE
MATTERS. CONGRESSWOMAN MAXIME WATERS.
REGARDING THE TRUTH AND THE PEOPLE WHO CAME OUT TO DEMAND
YOUR ANSWERS PHONE THE RUSSIA-GATE PROBE.
THE PUSHBACK, ARE THE REPUBLICANS SAYING THE DEMOCRATS
ARE MAKING A MISTAKE TO FOCUS SO MUCH ON RUSSIA WHEN MOST
AMERICANS WOULD RATHER HEAR ABOUT JOBS IN THE ECONOMY.
HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THAT? >> WELL, WE DO BOTH.
ABSOLUTELY, DEMOCRATS TALKING ABOUT JOBSOBS AND THE ECONOMY.
AND WE'RE PUSHING BACK ON THIS PRESIDENT'S BUDGET THAT'S
UNDERMINING ALL OF OUR CITIES AND OUR TOWNS.
AND THEY'RE CUTTING BACK ON SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY.
THE PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES OIL FOR THOSE PEOPLE LIVING IN REAL
COLD CLIMATES IN THE WINTERTIME, ALL OF OUR FRAGILE SENIORS ARE
GOING TO BE DENIED BASED ON THIS BUDGET.
SO, WE TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET. WE TALK ABOUT JOB CREATION.
WHERE IS HIS INFRASTRUCTURE ITEM THAT HE PROMISED IN THE BUDGET?
HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM, OBAMA
PRESENTED INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM THAT CREATED A LOT OF JOBS.
WE WANT THAT, BUT WE'RE ALSO GOING TO CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT
HOW THIS PRESIDENT AND HIS ALLIES, I BELIEVE, AND OTHERS
BELIEVE, COLLUDED WITH THE RUSSIANS TO UNDERMINE OUR
DEMOCRACY. AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP
TALKING ABOUT IT. BECAUSE THIS IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT TO THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY.
AND SO WE DO BOTH. >> AND LET ME PLAY YOU A LITTLE
BIT OF THE D.C. MARCH, LINDA AT THE D.C. MARCH.
>> OFTENTIMES, PEOPLE THINK WE COME OUT HERE BECAUSE WE'RE
TALKING DIRECTLY TO THE PRESIDENT.
WE'RE NOT TALK TO GET PRESIDENT. WE ARE SENDING A MESSAGE WHEN
YOU GO BACK TO YOUR DISTRICT YOU BETTER BE SAYING THE RIGHT
THINGS OR YOU'LL BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE IN 2017.
THE MESSAGE IS NOT OUR MAIN FOCUS.
THIS IS ABOUT CREATING A RESISTANCE THAT'S GO BE TO BE
HYPER LOCAL IN THE COMMUNITIES AND MANIFESTED IN 2018.
>> COUNCILWOMAN, I ASKED A SIMILAR QUESTION WHEN I WAS IN
CALIFORNIA, YOU KNOW, ABOUT THE SENATE, WHETHER OR NOT WHEN
ELIZABETH WARREN IS IN THE SENATE FOR CLIMATE, PRIVATELY
EXPRESSED MORE ABOUT RUSSIA THAN WILLING TO EXPRESS PUBLICLY.
LIND SA SAID IS THIS MORE ABOUT HYPER FOCUS.
YOUR COLLEAGUES ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE OF THE AISLE, DO
YOU HEAR THE SAME LET ME OF ALARM AND CONCERN OVER THE
RUSSIA INTERFERENCE IN THE ELECTION THAT YOU EXPRESS
PUBLICLY? >> WELL, I TALK WITH DIFFERENT
INDIVIDUALS IN A PRIVATE WAY. AND SOME OF THEM ARE -- YOU NOW,
THEY'RE JUST WARY OF HAVING TO BE QUIET.
THEY THINK THAT EVENTUALLY, THE TRUTH IS GOING TO COME OUT.
THEY DON'T LIKE A LOT OF WHAT THEIR PRESIDENT IS DOING, BUT
THEY'RE NOT SWIMMING TO BE PUBLIC ABOUT IT.
THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO OPPOSE HIM AT THIS POINT.
BUT THEY WANT THE INVESTIGATIONS TO GO FORWARD.
AND THEY BELIEVE THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT.
SO, WE HAVE SOME OF THEM WHO ARE JUST ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR ALL
OF THIS TO BE CONFRONTED IN WAYS THAT WILL UNVEIL THE TRUTH.
>> AND DO YOU FEEL THAT THERE'S ANY TRUTH TO SORT OF THE OTHER
KIND OF SUBNARRATIVE THAT YOU DO HEAR SOMETIMES OUT THERE WHEN
YOU TALK TO REPUBLICANS THAT HAVING JIM COMEY TAKE OVER THE
INVESTIGATION ESSENTIALLY KIND OF TOOK CONGRESS -- TOOK
CONGRESS OUT OF THE GAME? AND NOW REPUBLICANS HAVE PUT
EVERYTHING OFF ON TO MUELLER -- SORRY, NOT JIM COMEY, BUT ROBERT
MUELLER, THEY CAN PUT EVERYTHING OFF ON THE ROBERT MUELLER
INVESTIGATION AND DENY RESPONSIBILITY FOR?
>> WELL, I'M NOT SO SURE I SEE IT THAT WAY.
AS YOU KNOW, WITH COMEY IT HAD JUST GOTTEN SO CONTROVERSIAL.
YOU KNOW, AFTER HE STARTED THE INVESTIGATION, THE SECOND
INVESTIGATION, ON HILLARY CLINTON, SO MANY OF US WERE JUST
DISAPPOINTED AND DID NOT KNOW WHY HE DID THAT.
AND NOW THERE'S A QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT THERE WERE FAKE
DOCUMENTS THAT HE HAD IN HIS POSSESSION.
AND THEN WHEN HE WAS FIRED, WE THOUGHT, OH, THIS IS A TERRIBLE
THING. HE SHOULDN'T BE FIRED BY THE
PRESIDENT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS INVESTIGATION.
AND, SO, ALL OF US REALLY WANTED AN INDEPENDENT COMMISSION TO BE
IN CHARG CHARGE OF THIS INVESTI. WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET
THAT. SO, WE ARE PLACING A LOT OF
HOPES IN MUELLER. AND WE'RE ALSO STILL PLACING
SOME HOPES IN THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE.
I'VE GIVEN UP ABSOLUTELY ON THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE.
NUNEZ IS CRAZY. HE DOESN'T MAKE GOOD SENSE.
JUST AS HE RAN UP TO THE WHITE HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
TRYING TO PROTECT THE PRESIDENT, WHEN THE PRESIDENT TOLD A LIE
ABOUT BEING UNDER SURVEILLANCE AND WIRETAPPED BY THE PRESIDENT,
NOW, HE'S ISSUING SUBPOENAS, WITHOUT THE COOPERATION OF THE
DEMOCRATS. HE'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE RECUSED
HIMSELF. HE HAS NO BUSINESS INVOLVED IN
THIS. I THINK THAT WHOLE COMMITTEE
SHOULD BE DISBANDED. >> IT'S VERY CUMBERSOME.
WE DO WANT TO FOLLOW UP. WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME.
I HAVE TO ASK YOU ABOUT AN EXCHANGE WITH A YOUNG TURKS
REPORTER MICHAEL TRACY. >> WHEN YOU SAY RUSSIA IS NOT A
FRIEND WAS OBAMA FORCING COOPERATION WITH SYRIA AND TRY
TO GET A -- >> YOU AND I HAVE A DIFFERENT
AGENDA, YOUNG MAN. I'M OUT TO IMPEACH THIS
PRESIDENT. GET THAT STRAIGHT.
I'M OUT TO IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT.
I'M NOT GOING TO BE DIVERTED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE OBAMA HATERS.
YOU THINK -- >> WHOO!
>> OKAY, THERE YOU GO. SHE PUSHED ME ASIDE.
>> AND DESPITE THAT LAUGHTER, HE THEN, MICHAEL TRACY IS WENT ON
TWITTER AND CLAIMED THAT YOU SHOVED HIM.
YOUR RESPONSE? >> WELL, IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT
THE VIDEO, YOU CAN SEE THAT'S NOT TRUE.
YOU KNOW, THE RIGHT WING HAVE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE HARASSING
ME, FOLLOWING ME AROUND, TRYING TO INTIMIDATE ME.
AND, YOU KNOW, I'M SURROUNDED OFTENTIMES, OR MET ON SEVERAL
OCCASIONS AT AN EVENT LIKE THIS BY DIFFERENT ONES OF THEM.
THEY WANT ME TO GO AWAY. BUT, JOY, I'M NOT GOING
ANYWHERE. THEY CAN'T INTIMIDATE ME.
I'M NOT AFRAID OF THEM. AND, CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, THIS
125-POUND WOMAN IS NOT AROUND PUSHING THESE BIG MEN.
SO, HE JUST LIED. YOU LOOK AT THE VIDEO, IT SHOWS
YOU, THERE WAS NO PUSHING. I WALKED AWAY FROM HIM.
SO, THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE HARASSING ME.
BUT THAT'S OKAY. I'M ACCUSTOMED TO BEING
HARASSED. AND I'M NOT AFRAID OF THEM.
AND I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO SPEAK MY MIND AND THE WAY THAT I
DO. I'M CALLING FOR THE IMPEACHMENT
OF THIS PRESIDENT, AND I WANT THE FACTS TO COME OUT TO CONFIRM
THAT THEY COLLUDED WITH THE KREMLIN AND WITH PUTIN.
>> YOU'RE ONE TOUGH LADY. CONGRESSWOMAN MAXIME WATERS, WE
ALWAYS LOVE TALKING WITH YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE SO MUCH.
I'M GOING TO KEEP GOING. >> WE KNOW THAT.
DON'T FORGET TO FOLLOW CONGRESSWOMAN MAXIME
WATERS @MAXIELLWATERS.
