their auto payments and the sky isn't falling, kate, but this is something to be aware of that this is happening now. >> especially in this economy and that's the point. >> alison, appreciate it. thank you all for joining me today. "inside politics" with john king starts right now. ♪ thank you, kate. welcome to "inside politics "qwest. i'm john king, thank you for sharing your day with us. another busy one. the former trump campaign manager paul manafort said he did not lie after cooperating with the special counsel. the boosters say the new wish list will force a long overdue debate on climate change. the detractors say it's too much, too expensive and could affect trump's re-election hopes. the compromise to turn a border security framework into a plan. cnn is told the president is

ready to sign it even though his conservative boosters hate it. the house committee that decides how your tax dollars get spent is for the first time led by two women. >> these men probably never imagined that women would be in charge, and you are. >> yeah. >> this is what i gave her when she became chair, and when i became, when i was elected by the steering committee, she's the first one that called and congratulated me. we have that sort of relationship. >> do you actually use that at the hearings or is it ceremonial? >> i use it for lots of things. [ laughter ] >> i'll leave that one to your imagination. we issue ginn the hour waiting for lawmakers on capitol hill to put their spending compromise on paper and waiting for the president to say publicly what our sources tell us he is saying privately. he plans to sign it despite not liking it. we should see the president any moment greeting the president of

colombia who is coming here for a white house visit and we'll bring you that as soon as it happens and the reporters will ask the president about the tentative deal reached by negotiators to avoid a partial government shutdown. two sources say the president does intend to sign the bipartisan deal. the tweet last night, a pretty good hint. i want to thank the republicans for the work on border security. not an easy task, but the wall is being built and will be a great achievement. friday is the deadline. house democrats say the deal should be on paper today. their plan is to vote tomorrow. speaker nancy pelosi knows both liberals and conservatives aren't happy. she has this advice. >> as with all compromises, i say to people, support the bill for what is in it and don't judge it for what is not in it. you can't pass it until it's ready and when it's ready we'll be ready to pass it. >> cnn's kaitlan collins live from the white house. kaitlan, we're waiting to see the president. sources tell us he gets it, sign it even though you don't like

it, but no definitive answer yet. >> reporter: no. no white house official has been willing to go on the record that the president will sign this despite him telling people he intends to sign it. this is a president who often changes his mind ask they're not willing to go out further than he is and are waiting for him to say he's signing the bill. richard shelby was trying to pitch the deal to the president touting the numbers saying it's good part president and i am told the president wasn't completely sold by the phone call. shelby was making the argument to the president that this has over $1 billion and that's in the range of what the president wanted. that depends on what your range is since the president shut the government down saying he wanted $5.7 billion and he's getting far less than that in this agreement. despite all of that and despite the fact that the president hasn't come out publicly and said yes, we're going to sign it. white house officials feel pretty confident that there will

not be a government shutdown on friday and sarah sanders told reporters they're waiting to see the final text of this legislation. >> can't blame them there wanting to actually see the text. interesting theory. read the text before you say you'll sign it. stay nearby in case the president talks in the next hour. with me in the studio to share insights. mallika henderson, olivier knox with sirius xm and song kim with the washington post. if you read the president's tweets and if you believe what our sources are telling us, he gets it, right? i can't shut the government down again and there will be a republican revolt, i don't like this, but if you send it as it's described to me, i'll hold my nose and i'll sign it and then what? executive action for the president to do more? >> we can see the president are setting the table for this. he literally is setting the table for either the national emergency, some sort of executive action where he gets money from this bill about $1.3 billion and it's less than

what he wanted. it's a little less than what he was offered this summer, as well, but he does seem to be essentially saying this will be part of a larger move to get money elsewhere and you know, was there some thinking that the republicans would revolt against him if he tried to do something with the executive action or national emergency. we'll see how that plays out. >> to me, i'm interested in it as we wait for the legislation and then we'll have to wait for two days for the votes. does the commentary get to the president in the sense that this is the first big act of the second half of his term and he looks weak. >> i just keep thinking about the kerfuffle and what we saw back in march of last year where he had to be basically talked about signing the big funding bill because it didn't have the money and the talk show host, the fox news personalities really tried to persuade him on air that this was not a good deal, but now the president does seem resigned that he's not going to get, at least from congress the money that he wants and is looking toward that

executive action. i would point out though, that for the president to sign something congress has to pass something first. right now sources are telling us there are a lot of last-minute hang ups involving an extension of violence again women act, and they put it in the package and back pay for federal contractors and there's some revolt among the left, as well, for not restraining immigration and custom enforcement priorities in this, but legislating is messy. everyone seems to not like it all too much. so at the end of the day it will most likely pass congress. >> at the end of the day and the question becomes the president. number one, to your point, let's show you the difference. the president turned down in the beginning of the shutdown in december. the president turned down a deal that would have given him for $1.6 billion for 65 miles. a $1.3 billion for 55 miles and

he's getting less money, as he does that he says the wall is being built. he keeps saying that. that is not factual. here's what has happened. during the trump presidency, miles of new barriers built? zero. miles of replacement barriers? 80 plus, there's some construction about to happen on some new barriers, but as we sit here today the number of new miles of wall built during this presidency even though he keeps saying the wall is being built is zero. >> the irony of this is if he had taken the strategy with the original deal put up on the screen. sign it and spin it. basically sign the bill and then he would have had an opportunity to do what he will now do which is to try to find a way to spin that this is a victory that he's getting parts of the wall built and to find other pots of money either by declaring a national emergency which we all think is

less likely now and rather to use the executive power of the -- of the government which he oversees to find ways to shift money around so that he can again, spin his way to a victory, and the irony is he could have done that without the government shutdown and without the damage. >> he could have gotten even more money and he could have done this when the republicans controlled the house. >> that's the actual irony. if there had been enough republican support for his project then he could have gotten it and the national emergency is dicey and a lot of the border lawmakers and a lot of them republican, they went through this fight in '06 and '07. all of the eminent do main lawsuits, and some of the guys are coming up with re-election coming soon and they don't want to have the fight again. that's the irony. at any point in theory, if they'd had enough gop support they could have done this? >> in two years he still couldn't sell it because his party controlled everything. who will he listen to?

indications are the president gets this and he doesn't want to put his party through it again, but congress has to pass it and we'll read it and we'll see what the president says. will he be sueded at the last minute by his de facto chief of staff? >> i'm not happy either. nobody should be happy. the president has every right to be angry. the so-called compromise is typically of the d.c. sewer and swamp and its level of funding for security and safety of the american people is pathetic. the president would need to declare a national emergency. this is the time. that is a necessity and the president, i think i know him pretty well, telegraphed that very thing today. sounds like a national emergency will be declared, but i have no insider information. >> to conversations like that and sean's not the only one "the wall street journal" editorial board is this. mr. trump may reflect that criticism, but these are the same critics who coaxed mr. trump into one immigration dead

end into another. they seem to think mr. trump's duty is to fail repeatedly in the service of the impossible. the next time they give good advice will be the first time. >> wow! >> a little divide on the right. >> part of the problem that sunlen said was the deal was the omnibus bill was that they didn't have mark meadows and other conservatives on fox news saying we want you to pass this, right? there was just a vacuum of that kind of support and so all he was hearing from were the, you know, were the opponents of the idea telling him he should trash it. and so i haven't heard a lot of public, you know, support for it from the right and that, you know, doesn't bode well. >> we shall see. the first challenge is for congress to put on paper and we expect to have that by the end of the day. stay tuned. up next he's been cleared by the senate intelligence committee, but it seems one of the top

members of the committee is not re ready to go that far. as like you're getting 7, 9, 10, 15 leaves that are just popping up all over the place. yeah, it was amazing. just with a little bit of information, you can take leaps and bounds. it's an awesome experience. i can choose from all their different hotel brands... like a doubletree for my cousins. a homewood suites for my uncle. a hampton for my sister and her kids. and the waldorf astoria beverly hills for me. can i get a..? thank you. book at hilton.com and get the hilton price match guarantee. book at hilton.com my gums are irritated. i don't have to worry about that, do i? actually, you do. harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line. new crest gum detoxify works below the gum line to neutralize harmful plaque bacteria and help reverse early gum damage. gum detoxify, from crest.

does the national security adviser right now enjoy the full confidence of president trump? >> yes, general does enjoy the full confidence of the president. >> that was kellyanne conway two years ago today just hours before michael flynn resigned from the post as the national security adviser. flynn later cut a deal with the special counsel and is said to be cooperating now. another trump insider who cut a deal and now accused of breaking it. former trump campaign manager paul manafort. his lawyers today filed a strongly worded legal brief challenging an a serssertion th manafort repeatedly lied. this is from the brief. mr. manafort did not lie despite the office of the special counsel. it cannot prove what did not

happen. that is 13 pages long. nearly seven of which, you see the redactions, nearly half about a 2016 meeting between manafort and konstantin kilimnik, and mueller said in a rusent cou recent court filing. we are left in the dark literally about key aspects of the investigation and manafort's team pushing back accusing the special counsel idea overhyping that he lied. >> he didn't remember certain aspects of this perhaps some of the prosecutors and were asking questions. you do bring up a good question. the russian man, konstantin kilimnik, was there a strange relationship between paul manafort and kilimnik. they had a business relationship, but he's the guy that he shared polling data with, and it seems that the

special counsel's office is really focused on their relationship x that's what they say is at the heart of that investigation. that relationship. what was paul manafort promising him? it could have to do with the sanctions, obviously. so that's what came up in that long hearing that was eventually the transcript was released. for me what's interesting is there's this ongoing battle that is still going on with paul manafort. i think we need to move on from this. the yuj is partly to blame on this and she's druing this out. what's the point? he's already pled guilty and he's ready for sentence, let's move on, but the judge is drawing this out and she keeps asking them to file things and she keeps having hearings and maybe today we'll get answers, but it's time we move from this point. >> is it or could it be and i hate to use speculation, but again, if you look at the prosecution memo, that meeting and what happened at that meeting is of significance to the special counsel. that's what they say, and again,

we can't connect these dots and we can only look at the calendar. the republican convention breaks on the 21st of july. this is the 2nd of august, why is the trump chairman going from the office of the fbi? could the hold up be that the special counsel believes there is a piece of information that manafort is refusing to give them? >> it could be and they're pretty much done and they'll get as much as they will get out of paul manafort. they have their theories, and i will say to you and i remember when i first started covering this. a lot of fbi agents that were getting involved in this investigation early on felt that people like paul manafort and others in the campaign did not expect trump to win, and so they were trying to make business off of their connections to the president and that could be what was going on here that manafort was hoping to stay in the good graces of kilimnik. he had no money. he needed money. he was hoping to probably keep this relationship going so that

he could make money and that has been the theory of prosecutors and special counsel and fbi agents who have been looking at this investigation. >> the swamp creatures and they were going to make money. the president is celebrating this. tweeting no collusion, no collusion, pointing to these words from richard burr, we've been at this two years and -- >> i can assure you that any good will that might have existed in the commit we michael cohen is now gone. i would prefer to get him before he goes to prison, but you know, the way he's positioning himself, not coming to the committee. >> i'm just saying what packally we found to date. we haven't finished with our investigation. i'm not sure to put it any clearer than i've said before. we have no factual evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. chairman burr saying two years in, we don't have any evidence in his view.

his democratic partner of the committee said i disagree. i'm not going to reach any conclusion until we finish the investigation and we still have a number of key witnesses to come back. are there key witnesses? who is the key witness? who do they think has to come back and that mark warner thinks hasn't told the truth? ore -- or the democrats for two years has said chairman burr is doing this in a responsible way. is it time for the democrats to say we've looked under every rock. let's go. >> in terms of chairman burr there with michael cohen and what not, but the burr-warner rift is fascinating and that hasn't been discussed enough because since this investigation began they have been intentionally working hand in glove. they know this investigation with how sensitive it is it can't be political or seen as political and it was such a dramatic contrast to the house intelligence committee leaders in the first two years of the precedence we devin nunes and

adam schiff, but right now the heart of this dispute, if you want to call it that is the fact that burr and warner don't necessarily disagree on the facts. they're kind of disagreeing on what they mean at this point and right now warner is saying it's too premature. look, there's no factual evidence and that's what the problem is right now with the leadership. >> even though there's been a good working side, there's been frustration on the dechl democratic side and warner's side that there's only so much the committee can do constrained as they are by the mueller investigation on one side and by the resources of the committee and by this sort of idea that you're doing it in a bipartisan way which dumbs it down in a sense. look, what's happening on the house side now. it's becoming a hard charging, aggressive investigation and that's not what happened on the senate side so there is this frustration on warner's side and how can you make these

conclusions without -- >> it is the committee that had the fbi, and comey respected burr and had a lot of respect for him and was willing to work with him. this is certainly interesting how this has developed. >> so one of the factual disputes or the content disputes is we have 16 meetings between trump campaign officials and russians. chairman burr would say those are probably stupid and we don't have evidence that they colluded. the word collusion. i want more information because that's suspicious. find out everything you want to know. go to cnn.com's interactive page and it lays out how the trump team's story has changed and these have ink chaed throughout the investigation and the numerous contacts and the comey firing, the legal process and all of the players and the potential legal pitfalls and it

is a great primer if you get confused at times. up next, what is in the green new deal and senator mcconnell's plan to take it to the floor and the majority leader name drops a certain 2020 candidate. >> so let's imagine a president amy klobuchar -- >> that's really going to help me with my base. thank you. thank you, mitch. 300 miles an hour, that's where i feel normal. having an annuity tells me my retirement is protected. learn more at retire your risk dot org. when your blanket's freshness fades before the binge-watching begins... that's when you know, it's half-washed. next time, add downy fabric conditioner for up to 7 days of downy freshness. downy and it's done.

i've noted with great interest the green new deal, and we're going to be voting on that in the senate. we'll give everybody an opportunity to go on record, and see how they feel about the green new deal. >> wait a minute. the green new deal is a big democratic initiative so why them is the senate republican so eager to bring it to a vote? remember, mitch mccon cell from kentucky, a coal state and remember, just about every decision made in washington these days by mcconnell or others has a 2020 campaign wrinkle to it. the green new deal is indeed going to be a flashpoint in the 2020 campaign. here's what the the supporters want to do been it's a resolution put before congress that has no binding authority, but they say they would like to get to net-zero emissions by 2050. 100% cleaner, renewable energy, energy-efficient infrastructure, clean water, healthy food, can't

argue with that, right? the issue is when you start going through the details, this would cost a lot of money. overhauling transportation. that would cost a lot of money. upgrading all existing buildings, commercial buildings, residential buildings. who will pay for that? how will you pay for that? providing universal health care is part of this document, affordable housing, economic security, great idea. how will you pay for it? they think they can use this to their electoral advantage. it's a big issue in the presidential race. there are democrats who announced they're running and announced exploratory committees. of these nine, tulsi gabbard wants to deal with the specifics and not sure if the proposal goes too far. former democratic congressman and businessman has to deal with climate change and it's too much and too pricey and even the candidates for it, amy klobuchar and gillibrand, when they talk

about it listen. a slightly different emphasis. >> i'm in favor of it because i see it as a framework to jump-start a discussion. i don't want see it as something to get rid of all these industries and do this in a few years. that doesn't make sense to me. >> we're for what we're for and we want to see a green economy in the next decade. not because it's easy, but because it's hard. there is so much in this bill for economic growth and fixing things that are broken and so why sht have an aspirational goal but why not at least try? >> why not -- look, the conversation is 20 years. al gore would argue 20 years or 40 years overdue, the conversation, but this town is not capable to have the conversation. hats off to the democrats pushing, let's have the conversation. there is a risk when you put these aspirational goals on paper because it is t-ball for some republicans. >> and you see it already.

we've gotten the e-mails of herding cows and getting a new house and no more airplanes and you'll see republicans do this over and over again and basic le make big, bold assertions about what this big, bold plan would do and you will have democrats make nuanced comments and have a nuanced conversation about it and that's what this is for when you have a president who does have to basically deal in no new nuance and an idea that people can grab on to and ridicule this plan. >> it's an example where two things can be true, democrats believe with suburban voters and college-educated voters, they want this debate and they want to have this discussion and they want to have the conversation. republicans are also right when they say look at the trump electoral map. you want to sell this in pennsylvania and in michigan or wisconsin and you're trying to take back ohio and be in the industrial midwest? good luck. >> you mentioned for the 40 years, al gore might say it's 40

years too late. the other number is 12. about 12 years before things risk becoming cataclysmic. that's as much in the minds of democrats as any other figure. go back and look at the obama stimulus which had a lot of green energy stuff in it. the republicans counter branded that with the solar panel company, and the failed solar panel company. nancy pelosi voted on the legislation that never got taken up by the senate. democrats are at tune with the dangers here and the warnings from the climate experts are weighing heavily. >> if they can force the debate, good for them. the republicans will look for the opportunity and this is a fact sheet put up by congresswoman ocasio-cortez. economic security for people unable or unwilling to work. wait a minute, why is the government to provide for that. provide job education to all. air travel becomes unnecessary. unsure if they can get rid of

farting cow emissions. the flatulence argument. >> the science is crystal clear, sorry, mr. president and sorry to the republicans who don't have the conversation. every second, as i speak, we're closer to the 2020 election. will the democrats stand firm or will they blink when some of their own members joe manchin say we can't do this right now. >> they will continue to endorse the broad strokes and the goal of the green new deal, but you're right that once you get out in the details and especially in the details that are inadvertently or inaccurately released it makes it way too easy for republicans to go after democrats on this and i was talking with senator brian schotts yesterday and he said look, will we hold every candidate up to the standard which is fair, but that's the kind of environment that we're in and that's the influence that ocasio-cortez has in this field. >> also the democratic party can't afford not to try to

motivate this sort of raucous, energetic part of their constituency. especially president trump, the guy running in office and they first have to motivate their base and whether it's being done well or poorly or whether they're putting up information that isn't helpful, they still do need to figure out how to walk that line and this broad issue is one that can help do that. >> and we will see some of the fault lines if this thing comes to a vote. some folks are co sponsors of it and they would have to vote for it, and they're co-sponsors of it and then you look at brown, right? what does he do on this? he's been skeptical of it and talking about it in some ways the way that klobuchar has been, as well. so we'll see his idea of where the party is, as well. >> once you have a nominee these things get more clear and the president at the white house. >> see what happens, okay? thank you.

thank you very much. [ inaudible question ] >> the united states will be able to tolerate the president of nicolas maduro. >> right. right. sure. there is a new president that they recognize and he's living in villa flores. how much longer? >> i have great respect for the man that most people, many people think is the real president of venezuela. he's very wraf. it's a very brave situation what he's doing, as you know. i've seen what's happened in the streets and i've seen what's happened with executions and i give help a lot of credit and i think it's going to work out very well. >> do you see any military solution for venezuela? >> i think there are many solutions and a number of different options and we look at all options. >> are you thinking of sending troops to colombia? >> i never talk about that.

>> let me add something on the first question that was asked by vanessa. president guaido has a strong support and we need to give him even stronger support. i think what happened with the eu has been very important. we will host the lima group next week in bogota and we will, all of the countries in the hemisphere, give him the support he needs to lead the transition in venezuela. >> if president maduro stays in power do you have plan b. >> i always have plan b and c and e and f. i have great flexibility and i have great flexibility than any man that's ever been in this office and there are many plans and we'll see where we go. right now we're in an incredible period. i saw the tremendous numbers of people yesterday and you're talking about during the week

just numbers that you see at the protest. so we'll see. a lot of things are happening in venezuela that people don't know about and there's a lot of sport for what we're doing and for the people that we're talking to. a lot of support. tremendous support. [ inaudible question ] >> they have to let the food in. they've blocked one of the bridges. they'd like to try. i think he's making a terrible mistake by not allowing that to happen and it's showing bad things and we're starting to get food to people that are starving. you have people starving in venezuela, and it just shows what can happen with the wrong government. you have the wrong government and bad things happen, but you have many, many people that are in really trouble for just hunger, and so we are delivering and we are sending tremendous amounts of food and other supplies. >> mr. president, if i may add

to that, i think we have to give a very strong message to the dictatorship obstructing the access of humanitarian aid is a crime against humanity and we have to ensure that the humanitarian aid gets to the venezuelan people and the humanitarian aid to other countries so it can help venezuela. [ inaudible question ] >> well, we haven't gotten it yet. we'll be getting it. we'll be looking for land mines because you being have that. it's been known to happen before to people, but we have not gotten it yet. it will be sent to us at some point and we'll take a very serious look at it, and we have a lot of things happening right now. we are building a wall right now with money we already have and when people see what we're doing i think they'll be very

surprised. wooe doing we're doing a lot of work. i appreciate all of the work the republicans have done because they're going against a radical left. it's a radical left and they're going against it very hard and they're fighting, but we're in very good shape and we're going to take a look at it when it comes. i don't want to see a shutdown. a shutdown would be a terrible thing. i think a point was made with the last shutdown. people realized how bad the border is, how unsafe the border is and i think a lot of good points were made, but i don't want to see another one. there's no reason for it and we will look at the legislation when it comes and i'll make a determination then. [ indiscernible ] >> what was on the table just a few months ago? >> actually, it would be regardless of what i do. we already have, as you know, a lot of money where we're building an existing wall with existing funds, but i have a lot of options just like we do with

venezuela, we have on the border, and we have a lot of options and a lot of things are happening. very positive things. you know, the numbers are almost $23 billion which you don't report too often. it's about an 8% increase over last year. if you look at the total funding it's almost up to $23 billion. it's about 8% higher. the border area is happening. it's going to happen at a really rapid pace. we're giving out contracts right now, and we're going have a great wall. it's going to be a great, powerful wall. people will not be able to get through that wall very easily, and i think you see that. i think you see it happening. it's very important, and it will also have technology. it will have drones and it will have everything else we have. if you look at the other elements, i.c.e. funding will be complete and other things happening which people aren't talking about, but we have a lot of funds with other things and with the wall they want to be

stingy, but we have options that most people don't really understand. >> 5,000 troops to colombia? >> you'll see. what that means? >> any other questions? [ inaudible ] >> i'll be -- i really want to visit colombia. i look forward to visiting. >> will you consider an amnesty for maduro? >> something we haven't thought of. >> is this proposal to use el chap on money. >> anything ted does is interesting. certainly an interesting one. >> the drug approximately see? >> yeah. >> we are working together so that colombia eradicates some of what they're growing in colombia. i wouldn't say that at this

moment you're ahead of schedule, but hopefully you will be, but some time in the near future. >> but let me mention something to that question, mr. president. in the first four months of our administration we have eradicated 60,000 hectares, more than was eradicated in the previous eight months. we have a goal, and we will commit to that goal because it is our moral duty to have colombia free of illegal crops and free of narc oo trafficking. we will deliver because it is our moral duty. >> i just want to say before you leave, the economy is doing incredibly well. the numbers are really high, really good. we have a big team of people, very talented people over in china right now negotiating on the china deal. it's going along very well and we'll see what happens and it's going along very well and they're showing us tremendous respect and something which a lot of countries didn't used to show the united states, they're showing us respect now.

a big difference from the old days, i will tell you that. so the deal with china is going very well. the economy is doing fantastically. you saw the gallop poll that came out, 69% or so say they'll be in better shape this year and they're very happy right now and that's the best numbers they've had in 16 or 17 years, but the economy is strong. we have a lot of companies coming into the united states. they want to come into the united states. so we have a lot of good things happening and the wall is being built as we speak. thank you all very much. thank you. >> the president of the united states there in the oval office and marquez of colombia splitting their time. a lot of conversation about the political crisis in venezuela and the man who has called himself the interim president, and president maduro refuses to step down and among them colombia have called him to step down in favor of juan guaido. the president at the end saying many things about the proposed

spending compromise and many of the things the president said are not true or not factual. let's discuss it. democrats are being stingy when it comes to the wall. he said several times the wall is being built. the way the president spun it there. he talked about the radical left and he does not want to have a shutdown again, indicating that he may not like this, what's about to come to his desk, but by all indications he's going to sign it. >> i think that's a signal there that he's not going to like it. he'll complain about it, but he'll eventually sign it and then he'll take some sort of action on his own and that could be litigated in the political arena and the courts elsewhere. >> you have a parallel universe in the sense that the new wall is being built. >> there are maps to start construction on the modern section of the rio grande area. no other wall has been built today. the president is trying to convince that there's new wall already built. you go to the border, not the

case. the point was made during the shutdown. if you look at the polling, the president's numbers did not go up and in some cases went down. support for the wall stayed, majority oppose. asked people if they want an emergency declaration or some national emergency? no. and the proposal that the president will get today gives him less money than he could have signed before the shutdown. what was the point that was made? >> think he -- the point that we saw today the president trying to create his own reality and talk to his supporters, right? several times, building a lot of wall and spending a lot of money. border area is happening and contracts are going out and the wall is being built as we speak. he ended saying that and i think that's the same thing and he's trying to spin the loss to pelosi as a winners seshlly saying the points i made there in terms of the border being dangerous were successful and we don't need to do that again, but yeah, you made this point earlier. he is talking to those supporters and he knows his supporters are largely with him

and they essentially take their cues from him. he had the big rally and it was finish the wall, right? at some point, build the wall, because it's already being made. >> what was the point of the shutdown? the point was made to the president don't do this again, right? the pain is real politically and the pain is real for the people who were suffering financially from it and they were real for institutions and organizations like air traffic and the like which had a shutdown or alter because of it, and the message that was gotten and it looks like it's gotten through, let's talk briefly about the venezuela conversation because we're in the middle of this big budget fight and because we had a government shutdown or because we're heading into the 2020 campaign and this is a big deal. once prosperous, and one of the most prosperous in the

neighborhood, and now in a mess because of the maduro regime with this administration with bipartisan support that said maduro must go. >> and international support. >> you heard the president of colombia is having a meeting to increase the pressure. what's closer in the neighborhood piece? >> all of the attention is on the president when he says all options are on the table including the military. that gets the headlines. i think what i'm looking for in particular is help to colombia because no country is more affected than them. they've had hundreds of thousands of refugees pouring over the border and that was very important. it was interesting to hear what we are doing and the president of colombia talk about a more hemispheric approach and avoiding putting the u.s. stamp on a policy that the whole region remembers american intervention. it will be interesting to see if they get a hemisphere-wide

consensus behind juan guaido. i don't know because mexico and cuba, i don't know whether they can get that. it's significant. >> that's a key point, the president of colombia and the president of the united states talked about this in terms of how best to approach it including the fact that president trump said that man twice, the president of colombia. >> you an guaido. >> up next, he responds to the president of the united states on a very heated issue.

new developments today in a controversy involving a freshman member of congress and the

president of the united states. >> ilhan omar suggested jews are buying influence in american politics quotings, it's all about the benjamins. the president joining the chorus of conversation on that remark. this is the president at this cabinet meeting. >> congressman omar is terrible what she said, and i think she should either resign from congress or she should certainly resign from the house foreign affairs committee. >> congressman omar firing back at the president tweeting, quote, you have trafficked and hate your whole life against jews, muslims, indigenous immigrants, black people and more. i learned from people impacted by my words. when will you? >> he did say the challenge now is for her to be careful going forward. the democrats would keep an eye on her if she goes forward. she's showing there clearly she's willing to continue the

fight with the president over the broader issue and i'll just note before i leave it to you guys. the president didn't call for steve king to resign. we can go back ten or 12 years. we could go back a few on those, and i can go on. >> like the soros memes on the right. >> kevin mccarthy, the house republican leader who said she should be stripped off the committee who tweeted about bloomberg and soros trying to buy the election. >> she would much rather have this argument with the president than face internal criticism from her fellow democrats. >> i also think what's interesting is we're in a period where democrats across the board, you know what's going on in virginia with the situation down there and then this situation as well. they've given opportunities for the -- for this president in particular who has so much of his own baggage, racial, gender, sexual harassment -- i mean, all of that stuff that has been

swirling around him for years and you know, the irony that the democrats are giving him the opportunity to take the moral high ground on some of these issues or try to take the moral high ground on some of these issues is sticking in the craw of a lot of democrats that are really, are we going to give him the opportunity to do this and look at what he's able to sort of sit and opine about? >> mike pence continuing the argument and he told msnbc, we won't play it, but they should remove her from the house foreign affairs committee. we can lack back at mike pence's history as well. people say things that they wish they didn't say. in her case, she has strongly held views about -- how does she articulate them? >> and that's the key point, and also how does the democratic leadership handle this? we saw house speaker pelosi had a very stern conversation with her. the leader hoyer has not ruled out future potential action for her, but it will be a sensitive

challenge for her going forward. >> we shall see if the president responds to her response to him, i guess is the best way to put it. thanks for joining us "inside politics," brianna keilar starts after a quick break. have a good afternoon. even if no one in your home smokes, secondhand smoke can be closer than you think. secondhand smoke from a neighbor's apartment can enter your home through air vents, through light fixtures and even through cracks in the walls and the floors. secondhand smoke is toxic. especially to children. protect your family. visit tobaccofreeca.com.

>> i'm brianna keilar live from cnn's washington headquarters. under way right now the president may sign the spending deal, but the question is where else is he going to get money to pay for his wall? the responsibility used to be a rallying cry for republicans and helped give birth to the tea party. so what does the gop have to say about america's debt hitting $22 trillion? plus, if mexico's not paying for the wall how about el chapo? why the idea of spending the gangster's billions on border
