and bring this along very quickly. his ally, china, he may be trying to wait out the clock. >> you can tweet the sho show, @cnnsitroom. thanks for watching. "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next, president trump signaling he may sign a deal for no shutdown, but it's a deal that is far less than what he demanded when he shut the government down for 34 days. what happened to "the art of the deal." and president trump calling on a freshman congresswoman to resign over an anti-semiticicae ianti-. let's go "outfront"? good evening. i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, the dealmaker hitting a wall? a source telling cnn that the president who despite bowing to shut the government down again,

unless he got $5.7 billion for the wall, is now likely to sign a deal that gives him $1.375 billion for the wall. so just to summarize, that means we had 34 days of a shutdown and the president is getting 76% less than he said he would accept. >> i'm not happy about it, it's not doing the trick, but i'm adding things to it, and when you had whatever i have to add, it's all -- it's all going to happen where we're going to build a beautiful, big, strong wall. >> time for a quick reminder. trump's own administration says they need $25 billion for a wall. the president said in this deal he would accept nothing below, well, let him tell you. >> we set out a number, $5.6 billion. we're very firm on a number. >> $5.6 billion or nothing. so what was that destructive

shutdown for, if the dealmaker didn't even get a deal? >> i wrote "the art of the deal," i say, not in a braggadocious way, i've made billions and billions of dollars dealing with people all over the world. i have made deals that should have been disasters into among the best deals. i want to put whatever that talent is to work for this country. >> look, neither democrats or republicans wanted the wall that trump exactly promised. so this deal may be fine for the country, but the point is this deal is worse for trump than the deal he could have had before the shutdown. before the shutdown, democrats and republicans agreed to a deal that would give him $1.6 billion to the wall. now, that's a little bit more than he is going to get now, again, after 34 days of a shutdown. and then rewind to last spring, when democrats offered the full $25 billion, can you imagine that? he could have had $25 billion and his whole wall. now, they wanted a path to citizenship for dreamers, sure,

that's a deal, but it would have gotten him his wall. but that's a deal. pamela is live outside the white house. he has a plan for this big, beautiful woman. what is it? >> reporter: that's right. he just tweeted moments ago, erin, that there will be other sources of funding for the wall. now, even though, as you pointed out, the president is clearly not happy with the current deal from the conference, because he doesn't believe it goes far enough for wall funding, the white house has been preparing for this very scenario for weeks, by finding alternative funds for the border wall. some of the areas of focus are treasury forfeiture funds, to divert pentagon funds for counternarcotics, use military construction funds, and army corps of engineer funds. now, the last two options would likely require the president to declare a national emergency to trigger the use of those funds. the white house and doj have been working for a while to make the legal justification of why the president can use these funds to biuild the wall. and i'm told everything is still being weighed at this hour as an

option. but the president may be reluctant, erin, to declare an national emergency because of the potential blowback of why he didn't do it sooner than this. now, that said, some conservatives who didn't want the president to declare it or use executive action weeks ago are now urging him to do so as a last resort. but no one is definitively saying what the president will do at this point, because they know he could change his mind at the last second, as he has been known to do in the past on similar matters. one thing, though, the president said today, erin, is that he does not want another government shutdown. but he said if that happens, it's the democrats' fault. erin? >> all right. thank you very much, pamela. and i want to go now to freshman democratic congresswoman, mikie sherrill. congressman, thanks for being with me again. so as pamela just pointed out, we don't know until we know. he's on track now. he's talking like, i'm not happy about it, but okay. but we don't know until he signs it if he's actually going to sign it. do you think he could torpedo it at the last minute? >> well, we don't know, but

what's really upsetting about all of this, as you alluded to, we could have had a solution in december. we did not need to shut down the government. i'm happy, though, to see that congress is doing its job, that we're moving forward with bipartisan, bicameral legislation and coming to an agreement and really showing that congress is a co-equal branch of government. >> so the president, as you heard, just tweeted he's going to get $23 billion, you know, in various ways, right? and he referenced this also, that he's going to get his big, beautiful wall. here's more of that he said today. >> the bottom line is on the wall, we're building the wall and we're using other methods other than this and in addition to this, we have a lot of things going. we have a lot of money in this country and we're using some of that money, a small percentage of that money to build the wall which we desperately need. >> so he said he's still getting his wall, congresswoman. is he still going to get it? he's going to take

counternarcotics money, treasury funds, the possibilities, the methods that pam just laid out, is there anything you can stop him from doing that? >> i think the bottom line of this bill has been, and what everything we've been hearing is that congress is focusing on the real problems, on addressing real border security problems. so what we're hearing is that it's going to include stuff like our ports of entry. these are the issues that democrats and republicans have been talking about, certainly new jersey, we have some of the biggest ports of entry. we know what a threat that can be. so i think what we're negotiating now is really getting to hard of border security and i think we're going to see that pass and going to see some good legislation. >> so the president also said today that if this deal doesn't pass, it doesn't pass, right? another shutdown will be the democrats' fault. i want to play that for you. >> i accepted the first one and i'm proud of what we've accomplished, because people learned during that shutdown all about the problems coming in from the southern border. i accept that, i've always

accepted it. but this one, i would never accept if it happens, but i don't think it's going to happen. but this would be totally on the democrats. >> i mean, it sounds like he's right. i mean, he's getting less money than he wanted, you're getting other concessions that you wanted. you're not going to close the government down for this deal, right? it's good. >> i don't think a talk of fault is the right way to go here, because, you know, this is something that is congress' responsibility. we're moving forward with bicameral, like i said, bipartisan legislation. i don't think anybody on either side of the aisle wants to see the government shut down. this is something that we've been negotiating very hard, we've been working very hard to make sure that the government stays open. >> so i want to ask you about one of your fellow freshman democrats, congressman ilhan o'march. s she tweeted that anti-semitic comment about jews and money. the president weighed in today. he said she should resign from congress or at least be removed from the foreign affairs committee.

what's your response? >> so you know, i have been talking about the problems with anti-semitism, the growing anti-semitism that we've seen across the country and it is never acceptable. so i spoke out after charlottesville, i spoke out after the tree of life synagogue shootings, and certainly, i spoke out in my district when we were seeing swastikas put on yard signs and on a garage. this is a problem and no one should, you know, should feel that in any way that their words don't have repercussions. so, yes, i put a statement out and i was very happy to see that representative omar unequivocally apologized. i thought that was -- >> and that's enough of a repercussion? i mean, it's not a repercussion, but she apologized. that's enough for you at this time? >> i think what it really showed to me, we had people talking about in our caucus, about just why those words are so hurtful and where they stem from. and i think a real education process took place. and i think -- i hope to see more and more of that as we move forward. >> so in the statement that you put out, though, you know, you

wrote, our leaders must hold themselves to a higher standard and ensure their words and actions do not promote hate or hurtful anti-semitic stereotypes. you know, it harkens back to just a few weeks ago, you know, racism gets censored by the congress, but nobody mentioned steve king when it was all about him. you don't mention congresswoman omar by name in this. why not? >> because i think what i was trying to do is talk about the broader problem of anti-semitism. it certainly was directed with what we were hearing coming out of a caucus member. but i'll tell you again, to hear that congresswoman omar unequivocally apologized and pretty quickly, i think people understand the problems with racism, with anti-semitism, with sexism, and i think we're working hard to address those problems and doing it very quickly. >> congresswoman cheryl, i appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. next, more on president trump's demand for congresswoman

omar. >> and i think she should either resign from congress or she should certainly resign from the house foreign affairs committee. >> but what about his own anti-semitic comments? plus, senator elizabeth warren attending and speaking at a native american event today. yep. and republicans taking aim at alexandria ocasio-cortez and her green new deal. is this a big winner for the gop? >> there's another victim of the green new deal. it's ice cream. livestock will be banned. but ts always a catch. like somehow you wind up getting less. but now that i book at hilton.com, and i get all these great perks. i got to select my room from the floor plan... very nice... i know, i'm good at picking stuff. free wi-fi... laptop by the pool is a bold choice... and the price match guarantee. how do you know all of this? are you like some magical hilton fairy? it's just here on the hilton app. just available to the public, so... book at hilton.com and get the hilton price match guarantee. if you find a lower rate, we match it and give you 25% off that stay.

so, i started with the stats regarding my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. like how humira has been prescribed to over 300,000 patients. and how many patients saw clear or almost clear skin in just 4 months - the kind of clearance that can last. humira targets and blocks a specific source of inflammation that contributes to symptoms. numbers are great. and seeing clearer skin is pretty awesome, too. that's what i call a body of proof. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. want more proof? ask your dermatologist about humira. this is my body of proof.

tonight, resign. that's the message from president trump to freshman congresswoman ilhan omar for a seeries of tweets widely sproo perceived as anti-semitic, by republicans and democrats alike. >> anti-semitism has no place in the united states congress. what she said is so deep-seated in her heart that her lame apology, and that's what it was, it was lame, and she didn't mean a word of it, was just not appropriate. i think she should resign from congress, frankly. but at a minimum, she shouldn't be on committees. >> okay. omar created a firestorm when she suggested that politicians who supported israel were motivated by money. the operative tweet was, it's all about the benjamins, baby. "outfront" now, keith boykin, and scott jennings, former senior adviser to mitch mcconnell and former special assistant to president george w.

bush. so keith, the president is calling on omar to resign, even after she gave an unequivocal apology. hypocrite orn not? >> of course, it's hypocritical. donald trump is quoted in a book as saying he doesn't want black guys counting his money, he wants short guys with yamakas. back in 2013, he speaks to the republican jewish coalition and says he doesn't need their money so he probably won't support him. in 2016, he does a tweet where he talks about hillary clinton says -- has a star of david on a pile of cash. and in 2017, after the charlottesville incident, where nazis are marching and saying "jews will not replace us," trump says, there's good people on both sides. and last year in 2018, when the tree of life synagogue massacre takes place, trump blames the synagogue for not having armed guards there. and then to top all of that, just last month, donald trump quotes a tweet supporting and

embracing a tweet by pat buchan buchanan. donald trump is the one who needs to apologize and resign. >> so alexandria ocasio-cortez is jumping into the fight. her point is, unlike the president, congressman ilhan demonstrated the capacity to acknowledge and apologize, right? which she obviously did. you know, the president said it was lame and she didn't mean it, but if he has such an issue and thinks it is deep-seated in someone's heart if they make a comment about joews and money, then, well, let's play him. >> i know why you're not going to support him, and you know, you're not going to support me because i don't want your money. but that's okay, you want to control your own politician. >> how is that any different, scott? >> yeah, i recall president trump back then telling a lot of donors, i know i'll never get your support, because you'll want to donate to other candidates and that's fine. >> okay, that was at the republican jewish coalition where he was speaking. you can't act like that's not relevant, scott.

>> well, i'm saying that i think he said that to a number of different republican donor groups. look, i don't agree with the president that she should resign. i tend to think that elections should be respected and voters should make that decision. i agree with him, like steve king, she ought to come off of her committee, especially the house foreign affairs committee. i think that's the right answer. but it's normal in politics these days for all of us to call for everyone's resignation every day. i think voters should make those decisions, but internally in the house, the committee issue is the right one. >> the president has been called out before for anti-semitic things like that, and he responds by saying, oh, but i have jewish family members. here he is. >> my daughter, ivanka, is about to have a beautiful jewish baby. i have a son-in-law who's jewish, jared, who's a great guy. as far as people, jewish people, so many friends, a daughter, who happens to be here right now.

>> anybody want to jump in here? >> yeah, that's like saying, some of my friends are black, so i can't be a racist. that's a ridiculous defense for donald trump. we know that in 2017, after he took office, according to the adl, anti-semitic incidents increased by 60% that year. just a few months ago, we had an attack here at cnn and a few other places by cesar sighiac, who was motivated by anti-semitic bias, in part stirred up by donald trump's hatred of george soros and this fear that soros was funding this caravan of immigrants coming to the united states. donald trump is responsible in large part for contributing to this atmosphere of hatred and division in our country. and he's the last person who needs to be lecturing anyone about it. >> so scott, to this point, when racism comes up and obviously, when it came to charlottesville, that the two racism and anti-semitism were intertwined, let me play a few examples of things the president has said. >> we've had some very bad people in that group, but you

also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. >> we call her pocahontas, and that's an insult to pocahontas. >> when mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some, assignment, a i assum people. look at my african-american over here. negotiating with japan, negotiating with china. they say, "we want deal!" >> scott, can he really attack other mar omar say that her apology is lame and it's deep-seated in her heart when that's her track record? >> look, the president does not have a perfect track record on these issues. and my views on charlottesville, specifically, are well known and well aired on this network. it was the darkest moment of his presidency. but that doesn't mean we can't have a reasonable conversation about a member of the house democratic majority. she didn't just invent this by

accident. she has had anti-semitic language associated with her since 2012. and i know we're going to play whataboutism with donald trump. that's fine and you can pull a lot of stuff out, you have done that. but the reality is that republicans just dealt with a very similar situation by taking someone off committees. the fact that they're unwilling to do that, the congresswoman you just interviewed wouldn't even use her name, wouldn't even use -- >> well, that's a lot like steve king and the republicans! >> they took him off the committee! >> she makes a tweet about benjamins, scott, how should he not resign by saying that -- what is the difference? >> i don't think anyone should resign. i think she should be treated very similarly to king. >> last night you say she should resign from the foreign affairs committee. >> no, i said she should come off of her committee. >> that's a resignation. >> she should come off of her committee. >> that's a resignation. but donald trump has a history of doing this stuff. >> what?! >> steve king, for example, has been in office since 2003. he's a 69-year-old man.

ilhan omar has been in office since last month. she is just getting started. she apologized -- >> yeah, yeah, she just learned about anti-semitism is a thing. she just learned about it. >> well, what's donald trump's excuse for learning about anti-semitism and tweeting anti-semitic posts repeatedly! >> if you want to defend the anti-semites in your party, go ahead. >> donald trump's last -- >> i mean, she would be. she's taken on the gaza issue. she's not clueless about anti-semitism and the money. that's not an excuse that adds up for her. >> and nobody ever said she was. my point, though, is that the democrats are holding our own accountable. republicans, we have one example. >> how? what consequences does she face. >> it took 20 years to say anything about. and they're going to parade that for the next 20 years. but they haven't done anything about joe arpaio, who donald trump pardoned.

they haven't done anything about si cindy hyde-smith, ron desantis and his monkey business stuff. it's all about one person, a freshman representative from congress who happens to be muslim. that's the one they want to attack. and it's blatant hypocrisy on the part of the republican party. >> yeah, because she happens to be the one who's expressing anti-semitic views today. that's why she's in the news and that's why we're talking about her. she's hardly the only one in the conference that has done this. >> she apologized! when was the last time donald trump apologized? >> this is outrageous. i can't believe the democrats are going to the mat to defend this anti-semitic member. >> nobody is going to the mat to defend anything. we're asking for the republicans to have consistency. >> yes, you are! >> nobody said her apology was lame and she didn't mean it -- >> anti-semitism when you will only do it when it's against another party. that's not consistency, that's hypocrisy, scott, and you know better. >> both of you, thank you again. and next, a potential 2020 rival has caught the president's attention. >> how about beto? beto! beto! beto o'rourke.

that's his last name, right? beto o'rourke? but are all of those shout-outs actually helping o'rourke? and did democrats like alexandria ocasio-cortez give republicans a huge 2020 gift with the green new deal? ♪

new tonight, democratic senator and 2020 candidate elizabeth warren making an unannounced trip to a native american luncheon in washington. warren introduced a tribal leader, praised the first two native american women elected to congress last year, but she did not address her own at-best extremely misleading claims about native american heritage. jeff zeleny is "outfront." jeff, is this a sign that warren -- what does this mean, she's trying to do this now, all of a sudden, back seemingly embracing the, you know, being native american? >> reporter: erin, i think it is another sign that she is still trying to make this right. she is still trying to really correct something that she started last fall by trying to correct it and really created just a cascading series of challenges and problems for her. but interestingly today, she did drop by that event in washington, but it was essentially a secret. she did not announce that she was going. she didn't have reporters with her to take questions at all.

she was simply giving a speech. but what they're trying to do, i'm told, from the inside, is just trying to get the word out among native american leaders and others in the community that she, you know, really understands that she made a mistake by essentially saying that she had a tribal ancestry. she's apologized several times. but again, by going back to that, well, this is not how she wanted her introduction week to go, but she is still talking about it. the question is, though, do voters care about it? we'll see how that goes as she continues campaigning. >> right, of course, you know that is going to be the big question, right? do they care about that particular thing? does it reflect on her character and honesty overall? we shall see. you are at the site behind you of the cnn town hall with 2020 candidate howard schultz. he is facing major criticism that he could be a spoiler, because he's running as an independent. what does he need to do tonight to show that he can win, that he can run a viable campaign? >> reporter: erin, i think he has to say, why does he want to run for president?

why does he want to be president? that is a central thing that we've not heard him say yet. we've heard him go off on the democratic party, saying they're too liberal, too extreme, they need to elect someone in the middle. but he has to say why it should be him. but being here in the state of texas, you cannot help but think of ross perot in 1992. he was running on a single issue. he said that sucking sound you hear is jobs going to mexico. he had a message. what is howard schultz's going to be? we'll see if he reveals some of that tonight. but i'm told by people close to him, he has still not decided. he'll make a decision over the summer. but again, why does he want to be president. >> over the summer, much later. everyone else, we're getting this march time frame from the other remaining laggards out there. thank you very much, jeff zeleny. "outfront" now, a member of trump's 2020 re-election council, rob astorino and joan walsh. so obviously, this is a very

soar subject for elizabeth warren, one she embraced aggressively so and then she gets her dna case and she thinks it's going to help her case and all of a sudden everything implodes and then she's apologizing. why go back to this today? she sure would know people would know she went there. >> i think she went to be seen. and what's different from other things she has done, she didn't go to talk about her heritage. she went and honored a woman who was a leader in her tribe in martha's vineyard in her home state of massachusetts. the more she does listen and not talk on native issues, the better off she's going to be. i think assiit's a brilliant th to have done. >> to that point, it may have been unannounced to the press, but she didn't go unannounced. shep didn't crash the event, right? she was invited to introduce this tribal leader. she was a guest. >> and she was treated respectfully, we should say. >> so does that help her, after all the criticism she's got from other tribes? >> she literally has been exposed as a fraud and she benefitted from that.

that signature card for the bar with her name on it and checking "native american" or writing "native american" or -- >> american indian. >> american indian, is going to haunt her. every time she goes after donald trump or anyone else, they should show the card and she advanced her career because of that. >> she didn't. "the boston globe" did an exhaustive -- >> that's what her intent was. >> but that card has no bearing -- >> i thought "the boston globe" was what she had done with regard to texas. >> no, this was texas -- this was after she was hired at texas. i don't know why she did it. i think she's stretching the truth by any imagination. but it's not -- you can't prove that that particular signature got her a job anywhere. >> why the heck would she do it? it's almost weird if she didn't do it to get -- >> i understand she's in a lot of trouble over it and i understand why these issues of

native ancestry and belonging are devastating to a community. why she says she did it, she always heard these stories, as her mom and her sisters were getting older, they were talking more about their native -- >> my family was gladiators. >> that's funny. that's funny, rob. she's talked about feeling more connected. i'm not saying it's the right thing to do, it's just not crazy and she wasn't a fraud. and we have no evidence to this point that she ever benefited from it herself. >> she gamed the system or at least the intention was to game the system. she knows what she was doing. >> it's a bar association thing. it's not getting her a job. >> there's a lot of questions, i think we can all acknowledge, there are a lot of questions and it's very hard to understand why someone would have done this and so consistently, right, when, as you say, it strains credulity on any level. however, we don't know. i want to ask you about the president obviously mentions her by name, he calls her out -- >> in a racist way. >> in a racist way or see you on the campaign trail, liz. but he also calls out some of

his other rivals. bezp beto and the president, beto o'rourke and the president had these dueling rallies last night. >> robert frances. >> again, you're mocking what his family calls him. >> that's his name. >> the president is not even trying to do that, right? here's what he said. >> a young man who's got very little going for himself, except he's got a great first name. and we were all challenged by a young man who lost an election to ted cruz. and then they said, you know what, hey, you're supposed to win in order to run. how about beto? beto was defeated too, right? but he suffered a great defeat. >> he's going on and on about it, right? beto o'rourke is obviously less well-known than donald trump and he does this, he mentions him, joe biden, elizabeth warren, cory booker. he's calling them all out by name. does he know he's helping them?

>> i think if o'rourke wasn't having his little anti-trump rally down the road, trump would have went into el paso, did his thing, and left. but he's going to take the bait and throw the punch, he's going to mock. what bothers me the most about beto o'rourke is he's paper-thin in his resume, but more than that, he lost the race and then says good-bye to his family and says, i've got to deal with this depression on the road for two months. and it's like, if you're gong to be president of the united states, i don't want you cowering in bed in a fetal position when something goes wrong. i want somebody who is strong and can deal with defeat. >> that's a little cruel, but i don't entirely disagree. i don't think a woman could get to do that. i don't think a woman would get to come off a defeat like that and drive around and leave her kids. more power to him. i personally think he has a bright future. i would like to see him run against john cornyn for senate. i think there's no other person who could run a good race in the senate. i think the democrats have a lot

of good candidates. so i hope he doesn't run, but the president is definitely evaluating him. and he's evaluating him for both. beto, like it or not, is a national figure. so whether he runs for senate, he's going to have a national fund-raising base, just like he did against ted cruz. >> and of course, as trump's gift is uncertain things, he identifying the importance of the name. being known as beto is much better than being known as robert frances. maybe we wouldn't all knew who he was, if that is what it was. thank you, both. coming up tonight, don't miss the live town hall with howard schultz at 10:00 p.m. eastern. and "outfront" next, president trump seizing on the new green deal. >> they introduced the so-called green new deal! you're not allowed to own cows anymore! >> did democrats just hand trump a path to re-election? plus, president trump speaking out about whether he knew in advance about the

but to vote. to get a record on this green new deal spearheaded by representative alexandria ocasio-cortez. it comes after president trump is slamming the deal on the campaign trail. jason carroll is "outfront." >> reporter: the battle lines have been drawn. >> they introduced the so-called green new deal. it sounds like a high school term paper that got a low mark. >> reporter: president trump taking aim at the deal and the congresswoman who helped introduce it, alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> i really don't like their policy of taking away your car, of taking away your airplane flights, of let's hop a train to california, of -- you're not allowed to own cows anymore. >> reporter: ocasio-cortez quick to tweet, ah, yes, a man who can't even read briefings in full sentences is providing literary criticism of a house resolution. ocasio-cortez has become the

face of the effort to get the climate change debate front and center. the green new deal is an ambitious resolution aiming to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions in the united states by 2030, create jobs, and stimulate the economy. it does not call for taking away a person's car, airline flight or right to own a cow. but it is non-binding and the estimated cost are in the trillions. the proposal entangled in confusion over the weekend after ocasio-cortez's staff released a summary of it, which included provisions not in the original resolution, such as economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work. her chief of staff saying an early draft of the summary was published by accident, adding, it was clearly unfinished and that doesn't represent the gnd resolution. mistake or not, republicans lining up to follow in the

president's footsteps. >> there's another victim of the green new deal. it's ice cream. livestock will be banned. >> like other socialist fantasies, this is not a plan that can be paid for by merely taking money from the rich. >> reporter: gop leaders calling out ocasio-cortez's plan as a socialist manifesto, too out of touch for mainstream americans. a republican super pac releasing two digital ads seeking to link two democrats to the proposal who haven't even endorsed it. >> and her green new deal means skyrocketing prices, higher taxes for texas families. >> reporter: roughly 60 house and senate democrats have signed the resolution. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says he will call for a vote to bring undecided democrats into the open. >> and we're going to be voting on that in the senate. that will give everyone the opportunity to go on record and see how they feel about the green new deal.

>> at least one democrat giving pause when pressed on the matter, possible 2020 candidate, senator sherrod brown would not commit to supporting ocasio-cortez's version of the green new kedeal. >> i haven't heard you take an actual position on this? >> i haven't and you won't. >> and ocasio-cortez defending her green new deal tonight, tweeting the following, saying, "trust me, i like ice cream way too much to do that," "i also like visiting my family in puerto rico too much to ban airplanes." "maybe if the gop did their job for once and read a piece of legislation, they would see that communities and jobs come first, not last in the green new deal." erin? >> all right. thank you very much, jason. so patrick healey is with me now, politics editor for "the new york times." okay, the green new deal. trump and the republicans, obviously, mcconnell thinks this is an incredible gift. force kamala harris, force cory booker, force all these guys to get their vote on the green new

deal. winning move for the gdp? >> it's a good deal. mitch mcconnell knows exactly what he's doing. president trump came out of the state of the union with a pretty strong message that the democrats are going in a socialist direction. now, the green new deal is much more complicated than reducing it just down to socialism. there are doable policy goals regarding the carbon footprint, regarding greater high-speed rail. the reality is, there is real job creation baked into this. but they're caricaturing it in such a way that they are going to pin some of these democrats, there are going to be several democrats who aren't -- >> saying things like 100% of the energy in the country is going to come from renewable sources. >> and this is some ridiculous stuff. cows are going to be fine, your ice cream will still be available. you'll get your ben & jerry's, but the reality is, look, it goes into trump's like mockery. >> it does. >> he's effective in that. he gets people to, you know, somehow sort of look beyond, you

know, the racist and sexist, you know, words that come out and you know, he's able to sort of reframe policy debates in a lot of ways around making people look silly. >> and this will do well in the farm wing of the party and perhaps the primaries, when you talk about the vast middle where you'll have votes or democrats in the rust belt, green new deal plays very different there than it does in massachusetts. >> sure. no, yeah. those are the key states that trump has been obsessed with his base in the midwest and he sees these kind of policies as going so against where the -- where so many voters are still emotionally in the midwest, very much sort of believing that if there's a will, somehow manufacturing will come back, coal will come back. trump is there, and the notion of clean energy just doesn't feel like a starter for them. >> thank you very much, patrick. and next, jeff bezos mentioned donald trump in that explosive online post where he accused the "national enquirer" of extortion

and blackmail. is there any evidence, though? where's the evidence, mr. bezos? and jeanne moos on president trump's pet peeve. >> how would i look walking a dog on the white house lawn? would that be -- why didn't you book your family vacation on a travel site? at hilton.com, i get the price match guarantee. and i can choose from their 14 different hotel brands, so i get the right hotel for every member of my family. like a doubletree for my cousins who love their warm chocolate chip cookies. a homewood suites for my uncle who likes a long stay. a hampton for my sister and her kids. that's a lot of syrup and the waldorf astoria beverly hills for me. but i thought your family vacation was in miami? it is. i hear they're having a great time. book at hilton.com and get the hilton price match guarantee. if you find a lower rate, we match it and give you 25% off that stay.

new tonight, president trump says he didn't know the "national enquirer," owned by his longtime friend, david pecker, was investigating one of his top enemies. >> ami investigating jeff bezos? >> no. >> this came one week after jeff bezos pointed the finger at the president? but is there any evidence to support that? drew griffin is "outfront." >> reporter: it is a billionaire who dun it that has led to frenzied finger-pointing and unproven accusations. jeff bezos, the amazon founder, billionaire, and owner of "the washington post" says he was the target of political blackmail by a trump ally and perhaps even payback from an unfriendly saudi government. for their part, the saudis say they have nothing to do with the enquirer or its parent company and the "national enquirer" says it acted lawfully in its reporting and calls it nothing more than a tantalizing tabloid tail that the paper's own investigation will prove out. >> we just want bezos to

acknowledge the results of that investigation, which will show that politics had nothing to do with the story. it was a typical "national enquirer" story. >> reporter: this is that story. hours before the "national enquirer" released its multi-page spread of jeff bezos cheating on his wife, bezos released a statement announcing a mutually friendly divorce and gets ahead of the enquirer's blockbuster release. bezos launched his own investigation to find out who leaked his personal photos and texts and raised the specter it could be political. the ceo of the "national enquirer's" parent company, ami, david pecker, is a longtime pal of president trump. bezos owns the "washington post," which has had hypercritical coverage of the trump white house. in a blog post last week, bezos released what he said were e-mails sent to him from the "national enquirer's" representatives, proposing if bezos would disavow any belief

that the enquirer's coverage was politically motivated, the enquirer would not publish, distribute, share, or describe unpublished texts and photos. instead of buckling, bezos exposes the enquirer's tactics, then goes on to float the possibility the saudis may be involved. even the president today was asked about it. >> were you aware that ami was investigating jeff bezos? >> no, no, i wasn't. >> reporter: bezos has offered no proof, politics or saudis were behind the story. the "national enquirer" refuses to identify its source or the motivation behind the leaker. but the enquirer and its parent company, ami, have other troubles. ami is cooperating with a federal investigation into campaign finance violations for the tabloid's involvement in covering up affairs the president had with a porn actress and a playboy model in exchange for not being charged with a crime.

if it's determined the enquirer's story on jeff bezos involved blackmail, former prosecutor laura coates says ami could be in real trouble. >> if ami has violated the cooperation agreement, it means that they are now exposed to great legal jeopardy for crimes that the fdny chose not to prosecute initially, because there was a cooperator involved. the fdny would be well within its rights to prosecute ami for whatever conduct they committed that was a part of this cooperation agreement. >> and erin, according to the daily beast, bezos' private security consultant finished this increasing the leaks, turned it all over to private lawyers, who would make a decision whether to involve law enforcement. it is still unclear if that happened or if the parties involved now just want this all to go away. erin? >> all right. thank you very much, drew griffin, after a lot of insinuation at the very least was put out there. all right, "outfront" next, jeanne moos on what's up with

kirsten stewart cheated like a dog. >> and the guy choked like a dog. >> reporter: trump himself has been depicted like a dog led around by putin. critics have called the president a canine. >> when you lie in bed with dogs, you get flee. >> reporter: but you can't say trump never had a dog. i'm happy to introduce chappy. actually, it was first wife ivana's poodle. in her book, ivana writes, "donald was not a dog fan," she wouldn't move to new york without the dog. "it's me and chappy or no one," she insisted. chappy had an equal dislike of donald. yet for five years, trump posed with every westminster dog show winner and those present said he seemed to enjoy it. ivana writes, despite her issues with each other, donald never objected to chappy sleeping on my side of the bed. that's more than you can say for president trump and bo. >> are you going to be in the bed? >> not in my bed. >> still with president trump, there can be only country top dog.
