Relationship with trump. Did this break Campaign Finance laws . Lets go outfront. Good evening. Outfront tonight, shutdown victory. President trump taking a victory lap as more than 30 Democratic Senators join all republicans in a vote to end the threeday shutdown. The house voting moments ago to end the impasse. The deal was done in congress and it was done by senators. Thats who made the deal. The president was silent. Today President Trump only issued a Brief Statement which said in part, quote, i am pleased the democrats in congress have come to their senses and now willing to fund our great military, Border Patrol, First Responders and insurance for Vulnerable Children. The short term spending deal came after mitch mcconnell, declared his quote, intention. Intention to hold a debate on the dreamers in the come weeks. Thats it. Intention to hold a debate in a few weeks. Theres no formal mechanism to
repeatedly brought up this threeday bill to keep the government open but to force dedicated negotiations. Not two or two and a half weeks with doing nothing and then negotiations. Youre saying its only going to negotiate two or three days. Thats the point youre making . Absolutely in was all supposed to be done since october 1st of last year. The republicans were too busy with that health bill trying to destroy health care for some 30 million americans and the tax bill, which plundered the National Treasury to deliver a trillion dollars to richest americans. They couldnt compel themselves to deal with the fundamentals of governing. A Spending Bill addressing Childrens Health care, addressing Community Health centers and the opioid crisis. Lets talk about this issue. Sarah sanders pointed out thats not only in this continuing resolution but that other things in it are also things that democrats like you care deeply about. Here she is. I think democrats realize that the position that they have taken was indefensible and they had to focus on first funding our military, protecting Border Patrol agent, funding Vulnerable Children through the chip program. These were things that they didnt disagree with. They agreed with everything in the cr. She brings up funding Vulnerable Children. Doesnt she have a point . Our threeday resolution, continuing resolution also had the chip in it. Weve been fighting since last august to get this bill on the floor. This was forged and bipartisanship. It should have passed last september instantly. They held it out as a Bargaining Chip in a shameful practice of holding 800,000 children hostage. Youre saying that you plooef senat believe senator mcconnell because he made this promise to people of his parties. Kamala harris told reports she does not believe mcconnell made any real commitment to deal with immigration. Do you think she could be right or you truly do Trust Mcconnell . I do not trust him at all. He has promised Lindsey Graham and susan collins, jeff flake. Made promises, commitments that he has not honored. However, realize republicans control the presidency. Republicans control the senate. The mcconnell has decided to put the Amendment Box where we put amendments so they can be brought up on floor. Hes decided to put his amendments in and lock the box so no democratic amendment can be considered. Thats why we couldnt put up be bipartisan understanding we had with many members of the Republican Party for consideration. In that type of control we realize our leverage is modest. We do hope to hold mcconnell accountable for this promise but im not sure that we will
succeed. Youre being honest here saying your leverage is modest. You dont trust him. Let me put it to you straight. The Congressional Black Caucus leader said theyre getting their butts kicked. Talking about you guys. Is he right . We wanted to attach the Dream Act And Opioids To A must pass bill that would get to the president s desk. We failed in that effort. Now were on plan b. It did work in 2013. Were going to carry that battle forward. Thank you. I appreciate you. Our senior political analyst is out front. Mark, i have to say at first he tried to say the promise was to Lindsey Graham by mcconnell. Hes trying to be optimistic but i thought he was more frank later in the interview. Our leverage is modest. I dont know if well get
anything. He said were going to hold them accountable. Im going to throw something out. Senate democrats did House Democrats a big favor by agreeing to this. Allowing House Republicans to pass this bill, this cr, this continuing resolution for a couple more weeks. It allows the House Democrats, all of them who are up for reelection to take a stand and vote against it. Thats interesting. I guess its long term, short term strategy when it comes to the midterm. Let me ask you, the president. I played the ad where its illegal ill grammigrants. The white house is trying to say an outside group did this. Hee here he is speaking specifically about dreamers and during the
campaign to talk about the tale of two trumps. It should be a bipartisan bill. It should be a bill of love, truly should be a bill of love. I will immediately terminate the president obamas illegal Executive Order on immigration. Immediately. Were talking about dreamers for other people. I want the children that are growing up in the United States to be dreamers also. Mark, look. You put that together with the ad and you hear senator the murkley saying We Dont Know Which president is going to show up. Which president is going to show up . Who knows. Depends what happens tonight. A republican said this to me who is no fan of Stephen Miller said Stephen Miller is the last person that whispers this his ear and thats why were in this problem. Republicans are not happy about this. If you look at polls we know that overwhelmingly the majority of americans want the daca issue
fixed. They want to take care of these dreamers. Theres that small group of hard liner, specifically Stephen Miller and some cases the chief of staff who are whispering in trumps ear as well as senator tom cotton and thats why hes stuck on this. Nobody knows how to negotiate with the president because they dont fwhoe wiknow who will com door. Are they the ones pushing hard line on immigration and winning .

The white house is pushing back against the idea that it is the president s 32yearold senior advisor, Senior Miller who is running the show when it comes to the president s completely inconsistent stance on immigration. When asked if Stephen Miller has veto power over any Immigration Deal today, Sarah Sanders said this. The only person im aware of with veto power in this country is the president. Tried to laugh it off but
its not laughing matter. Its a serious question. You heard that just discussed. Former white house counselor to clinton. Also our newest political commentator. Paul, let me start with you. You heard sanders say Stephen Miller is not running the show. Do you buy it . No. We thought the show was going to be the apprentice. It turns out to be whos the boss. I was honored to serve president clinton in the white house. Every president has to defer on some issues. Say if this was agricultural policies, he has an Agriculture Study at purdue, i think it would be wise to defer to secretary purdue. This is the president s Signature Issue and on it he has said many times, that he would
sign legislation to regularize the dreamer status and hes flipflopped because Stephen Miller, the staff yanks it back. We know who is running the show down there and its president Stephen Miller. Steve. Well, i would say to that paul as long as were talking television shows, when you say president Stephen Miller, i would tell you thats as laughable and fictional as the show barney miller. Im thinking of a purple dinosaur. Anyone who observes, which is everyone in america, President Trump knows whether it was from the apprentice, candidate trump, President Trump, knows this is not a man who cedes authority and control. I have the privilege of knowing him personally. The idea he would give up control to a second president or a pseudo president is laughable in its face. Whats really going on is the left realizes that they lost in this showdown over the shutdown. What are they trying to do now. Theyre trying to create a boogeyman in Stephen Miller. Heres the problem. President Trump Ran Unambiguously on a program of controlling the border and reforming our Immigration System as candidate. He was elected primarily probably on that basis and now hes following through on it. He may be out of step with the mainstream media. Hes not out of step with america. I understand you all disagree on the power he has. Even republicans like Lindsey Graham says Stephen Miller has that power. Sometimes its not reality but perception that matters. Stephen miller is getting the same headlines that upset when they applied to steve bannon. President miller shutdown. Business insider, report some now referring to miller as president Stephen Miller. John kelly the chief of staff. How are these headlines for Stephen Miller and john kellys future . Theres some reporting that general kelly is looking for the exit which i would not blame him. Hes an American Hero and deserves our respect. Mr. Miller, slightly less of a hero. Hes a 32yearold guy, worked on the hill. Thats fine. I never saw steve bannon overruled the president like this. The president sat down. We all saw it on national television. It was remarkable meeting. He sat in the cabinet room. Tuesday meeting. Senator Dianne Feinstein said would you sign a clean daca bill. Allow the dreamers to stay with nothing else attached. No strings attached. Let me read you what he said. He said yes and then move to phase two which would be come prehencive Immigration Reform but i think we need to do daca
first. Thats the president making a deal until steve miller overruled it. Its unprecedented. The idea that Stephen Miller, who i really respect. That makes one of us. That hes the pup i said respect steve miller. I dont loik like a staff Guy Overruling the president. The idea hes the puppeteer is an absurdity. Hes an important voice among many important voices. He has the mandate of American People and changing this country when it comes to the economy. Yet when it comes to immigration steve miller, not
only is being credited by democrats and republicans with having the final word on this, whether you want to say overruled or convincing. He is passionate about immigration. He actually is the only one who has come out and take questions on immigration from the press. Here he is in a Combative Exchange in the press briefing room. Arent you trying to change what it means to be an immigrant come sboing into this country i youre telling them you have to speak english. Cant people learn how to speak english when they get here . First of all, right now its a requirement to be natural iedsed you have to be english. Are we just going to bring in people from Great Britain and australia . I am shocked at your statement that you think that only people from Great Britain and australia would know english. Sounds like youre trying to engineer the rational and ethnic flow of people into this country. Thats one of the most outrageous, insulting and
foolish things youve said. For you thats really the notion that you think this is racist bill is so wrong and so insulting. Combative to say the least, paul. To say the least in that sense i think hes reflecting the president. Its a tragic thing. The majority of americans believe our president is racist in the polling. Over 50 thinks he prefers white people to nonwhite people. Why . Because he said so. He was in that infamous meeting and he said we need more immigrants from norway and not from unflattering comment countries in africa, the caribbean or central america. When you say you want more white immigrants. That that sense mr. Miller is repeating the president s view which is a racist view. Whats actually racist is telling minorities and i say this as a hispanic the telling minorities at election time we value you and value your vote and forgetting them between. We just shut down the government for them. For his panic americans. They shut it down for ill leega immigrants. They have done tremendous harm to the Economic Prosperity of legal hispanic americans. Of legal africanamericans. What the president is doing is saying America First no matter your creed or color. Your Economic Prosperity norway first he said. Its my first priority. Theres nothing racist about it. Thats the opposite of racist. Its saying were not here to exploit you. Were here to improve your lives. Thats what President Trump has done. All right. Thank you both. Paul you have the first. I appreciate your time. Next, republicans pushing harder on that controversial memo alleging fbi wrong doing in the russia probe. Why wont they let the fbi see
it and respond . A new twist in the storm y daniels affair. Did report offense a pay off violate Campaign Laws . My guest is going to court. Coaching means making tough choices.
