immigration reform. that could have been a tweet about the economy. instead, it s a tweet where the congressman feels he needs to take a stand against the president. and this is an he is the son of cuban immigrants, representing a state where immigration is a very important issue. you have a lot of immigrants and first-generation americans there. so this has put members republicans on the ballot like him in a terrible place six days before the election. rick scott running for senate there, the governor, also. he doesn t want to answer the question about this. he walked away rather than answer the question. will scott appear at the florida rally with our president? oh, i think he will. you don t think he will? i don t know. i literally don t know. i bet he doesn t want to. maybe his hair has he ll be drying his hair. just got to close the segment where you talk about me not criticizing the president. i will say listen, mr. president, stop talking about immigration. s
child who drowned trying to get into europe. there s a desperate part of the world that wants to get to a better place. and we really can t we can t deny or we can t think that that s not what we would do in their position. that doesn t mean we let everybody in. we have got to have an equitable system to do that. but the most important thing is to be who america is. at the end of the day, if in the rear-view mirror we get a picture of something that doesn t make us look like us, that looks more like segregation in the south or pushing bonus marchers out of washington, d.c., in 1932, then i think we lose far more than we could ever lose by somebody getting across the border in the near-term. that s interesting. i want to get your response because, obviously, you re right. every country has the right to have the borders it wants to have. but the question, of course, is, is this what u.s. service members should be used for. david lapin, former homeland security spokesman for the tru
night. because nothing happened, because not nothing happened but because nobody was hurt i think he can turn this around. he saw how quickly he turned this around, usually when he makes a hostage-like statements in front of the camera, it lasts at least 24 hours. never longer than yogurt but longer than milk. he felt very comfortable going back to his normal speech, you know, that evening. it s beyond hard wired. the problem for the president is that attacks on the media were a big part of closing argument in the mid-term election. we heard it when he praised the body slamming. the media is part of the closing argument for the mid-term so we can t turn it off. and he doesn t want to. members of the trump
president trump: i thought very strongly, you know, the one great thing will happen, the press will start treating me great. leslie, they treat me worse. they got worse instead of better. very dishonest. is this what you regret? i regret that the press treats me so badly. despite that my poll numbers are very good. redirect, redirect, redirect. laura: i regret that you treatly badly, that s classic trump. he doesn t answer a question he doesn t want to. laura: don t swing at every pitch. masterful. you might call this the smackdown. stahl tries to get the president off the press and he won t get off it. i m going to change the subject again. you did it four times. president trump: i m just telling you that you treated me much differently on the subject i disagree but i don t want to have that fight with you. i ll have another fight with you. president trump: meantime, i m. and you re not.

i would ensure the investigation was appropriate and independent. and reach the right result whatever it maybe. i believe i have been faithful to that. so why do you think rosenstein is doing this interview now? how do you read it in. one is there was a story this morning he was probably reacting to suggesting there was frustration with the pace of the investigation. and there was going to be some report immediately after the election. and i think a lot of us read that and thought where it is coming from. these investigations take as long as we need them to take. and if you look at the last two weeks cnn has been reporting. they re moving fast. the manafort met with the special counsel nine times. there s grand jury still convening. trying to figure out what they re going to get out of president trump. he once said he wanted to testify. and now doesn t want to.
