confirmed there by the sheriff on the show earlier, but the mississippi emergency management says there are multiple fatalities there as well. waiting for those numbers to come in. >> we will continue to keep you posted throughout the day as that storm, still very potent, continues to move east. take care of yourself. "inside politics" starts now. time for the mueller report. >> it was an illegal investigation. everything about it was crooked. >> democrats don't trust the man deciding how much goes public. >> i think spying did occur, yes, i think spying did occur. >> plus the president rages about immigration. >> the asylum laws are absolutely insane. we'll give them to the sanctuary cities. we can give them an unlimited supply. >> bernie sanders makes another run at medicare for all.
5:01 am
>> this is a struggle for the heart and soul of who we are as american people. "inside politics," the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters now. welcome to "inside politics." i'm john king. to our viewers in the united states and around the world, thank you for sharing your sunday. a week-long presidential rage about immigration includes a sweeping purge at the department of homeland security and now a threat to dub those apprehended illegally crossing the border in so-called sanctuary cities. >> it's illegal. it's immoral. it's unethical. it's sophomorisophomoric. it's petulant and it's par for the course. >> plus the attorney general plans to release the mueller report this week. democrats don't trust his promises of transparency. and the president is hoping to
5:02 am
convince you not to believe it. >> it was an illegal investigation. it was started illegally. everything about it was crooked. every single thing about it. there were dirty cops. this was bad people. this was an attempted coup, an attempted takedown of a president and we beat them. i won. no collusion, no obstruction. i won. >> a busy weekend for the 2020 democrats. bernie sanders follows the trump 2016 map. cory booker launches a new tour. i'm not running to be president for anyone. if i thought of myself just in terms of identity lanes, it would be a lonely place. if we get identity right, it can be a source of solidarity with
5:03 am
people whose identity is different. difficuvisive politics is what' being practiced by the white house today, using race to divide us within the middle and working class. we've got to turn the page from that. >> back to 2020 in a bit. we begin with the president's immigration obsession and the numbers behind his anger. just about every day this past week another stunning headline, beginning with the white house purge of the department of homeland security that began last sunday. four gone, two more out of favor in the white house. accounts of the president to close parts of the border or asking to reinstate his abandoned edict to separate families caught crossing illegally. after his aides spent the day saying your sources are wrong, the president is discussing he dumping in places like san
5:04 am
francisco, home of the house speaker. >> i don't know anything about it. but again, it's just another notion that is unworthy of the presidency of the united states and disrespectful to the challenges we face as a country, as a people, who address who we are, a nation of immigrants. >> there were several tweets from the president last night including more presidential lies, this time about how mayors of some of those cities have reacted to his threat. why is the president so mad? today is day 814 of the trump presidency. the president has failed to keep a signature promise to stop what he calls an invasion of illegal immigrants. let's look at the numbers. these are apprehensions at the southwest border over the past five years including several years of the obama administration. you see the numbers here. this is the current fiscal year. that is what makes the president so mad, his team, his policies causing a spike, not a reduction in apprehensions.
5:05 am
plus the face of this challenge is changing dramatically. go back a few years. this is individuals, the gray color, individuals crossesiing border. look what's happened. now more than 60% of the challenge, families and unaccompanied children. individuals crossing the border, much less of a problem. this is what makes it more personal, much more difficult for the president. remember he was going to build a big, beautiful wall? here we are, at this point of the trump presidency, zero miles of new wall. some trump wall is being built starting now. so far only 36 miles of replacement barriers have been put up. that's the state of play, why the president is so mad, why he wants to make this issue front and center constantly. >> we'll bring the illegal -- i call them the illegals, they came across the border illegally, we'll bring them to
5:06 am
sanctuary city areas and let that particular area take care of it. we can give them an unlimited supply. let's see if they're happy. they say they have open arms. let's see if they have open arms. with us this sunday, eliana johnson of politico, cnn's jeff. >> the flailing, constant changing, constant demanding, new changes or the numbers, if you accept the president's view, his policies are doing the opposite of what he intends. >> it's hard to determine cause and effect on the border. i think what we do snow the president has one metric for measuring whether his policies are effective and that is the
5:07 am
detention numbers at the border which he views as a proxy for illegal immigration. he's been endlessly frustrated these numbers have continued to tick up, and he and steven miller, the senior white house adviser put in charge of immigration have told people they simply don't know what to do at this point to get those numbers down. i think that is the reason for the confusion, flailing sort of action that we've seen in the white house over the past ten days that began with the pulling of a nominee to lead i.c.e. the previous week and last sunday with the resignation of kirstjen nielsen who is running the department of homeland security. >> he's blaming his people clearly. >> he's definitely blaming his people. in the short term that's creating the bigger problem. no one knows what the president is going to do next. we thought the family separation policy was over. maybe now it's not. we're not quite sure if he's going to try to demand a
5:08 am
tough-guy-only approach. mcaleenan, is he the go? if you have this total instability all the tierjs how you actually plan for mitigating the flow of immigrants crossing the border. the short-term issue, the president is not making things better with his erratic choices about who he is going to let stay and go, but long term -- immigration has had to be addressed for a very long time. not just since trump has been president. trump's erratic actions give people campaigning against him a great thing to point to. but the issue is still going to be there. if anybody is able to beat him, to change the balance of power in congress, they still have to actually address what has been a very difficult threat in terms of how do you address the immigrants in the country, the reasons people are coming to the border and still have a border policy that isn't totally open because that's not going to be
5:09 am
sustainable. >> there's 25-plus years of dysfunction on this issue and the democrats don't want to give the president what he wants. the president doesn't want to reach out and reach any compromi compromise. so we're dug in. here are some of the headlines as the president lashes out. he told customs and border patrol, he pardoned them -- "the new york times," trump urged homeland security official to close border despite an earlier promise of a delay. you heard the president telling either policies rejected by the courts or policies that his own advisers like in the case of closing the border, sir, that would be an economic catastrophe, it would just makes things worse. >> over the last few years he shows how desperate and frustrated he is. tried separating families at the border, that didn't work. tried sending in the military. that didn't deter people from coming over. none of it has worked to either get democrats and republicans to
5:10 am
come together, to put together new laws or to deter people from coming in the first place. this is a president who campaigned saying i alone can fix it. he's faced with a problem that he has not been able to fix. that's why you see him flailing from policy to policy and potentially, based on this reporting, encouraging his own officials to break the law or run afoul of the law by doinglll standards. the president is basically saying i would pardon you. that shows he's frustrated with the situation he finds himself in and he hasn't been able to get republicans and democrats to come together and hasn't been able to solve the problem on his own. >> you see how front and center it is in his mind. he went golfing yesterday and he came back and this long tweet storm about immigration, including something that's not true. there are sanctuary cities all across america saying if the federal law wants to enforce
5:11 am
immigration laws, fine, but we're not using local resources to do that. his aides spend hours on friday night and thursday saying your sources are wrong. then the president tweeted, yes, i'm thinking about taking the immigrants caught illegally and dumping them. many of these mayors like chicago's new mayor elect says mr. president, we think your policies are wrong, we think you have bad ideas, but sure, we'll take them. >> of course, because we're doing that now. we have people routinely coming to the city, a whole infrastructure making sure their rights are protected. we have immigrants from all over the world that call chicago their home. we'll continue to make sure this is a welcoming community for those immigrants and we want them to come to the city of chicago. >> is this where we're headed in the week ahead? are they going to send buses to
5:12 am
detention centers and take them to sanctuary cities? >> i'll be surprised. the reality is there's no long-term strategy. this is the president, probably with steven miller at his side, essentially doing this as it's going along which is way aides at the white house are saying no, no, that's not true, not something he's thinking about. in fact, he was thinking about it. the problem here is a week after essentially the firing of his secretary of homeland security, once again, there are consequences for not having a full government in place, not having a full structure in place. the problem hasn't changed at all. but there are fewer people to handle this. it is a frustration of his, but there's no sense that he either wants to find a way out or can find a way out here. i would be surprised if people are bused to cities like chicago. of course, chicago has a proud history as the new mayor was saying of having new families and new immigrants there.
5:13 am
think of the a chaos that would happen if that happened across the country. he doesn't have a clear strategy. >> when his party controlled both chambers, the president had a deal on the table that would have protected the dreamers, would have given him money for his wall and he walked away from it. the likelihood of a deal is very small. up next, democrats say the president is inciting violence with a tweet attacking ilhan omar and using video of the twin towers falling. and...whatever this was. because we make our meat with the good of the deli and no artificial preservatives. make every sandwich count with oscar mayer deli fresh. ♪ pardon the interruption but this is big! now at t-mobile buy any samsung galaxy s10 and get a galaxy s10e free!

about humira citrate-free. here's to you. congresswoman ilhan omar calls her love for america unwavering and says she won't be silenced by president trump or anyone else. an outpouring of support for the freshman democrat from her party's presidential candidates. >> donald trump is trying to
5:18 am
insight violence and to divide us, and every political leader should speak out against that. >> to see a president of the united states, to use images of 9/11 in a vicious, crass, disgusting way, that is so offensive. >> this is an incitement to violence against congresswoman omar, against our fellow americans who happen to be muslim. >> at issue is a trump tweet now pinned atop the president's twitter page, a video that includes a spip net of an omar speech and video of the twin towers collapsing. four words from the congresswoman "some people did some thing." it became a rallying cry for her writ ticks who say she's minimizing the deadly terror. here is a clip from her march
5:19 am
speech about how muslims need to do more to fight for their civil liberties. >> far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second class citizen. frankly i'm tired of it and every single muslim in this country should be tired of it. cair was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties. >> cair was actually formed in the 1990s. to the bigger point, this has become a huge rallying cry for her critics. the president's video which includes video of the twin towers falling and splicing her words "some people did something." you see those saying that goes beyond the pale. if you want to have a conversation with her, that's one thing. but using images of 9/11 they say, a, is wrong and b, could
5:20 am
insight violence. >> especially when your criticism of congresswoman omar is she's being too lighthearted about 9/11, to then cut and splice that video together, seems like it's using that to make a very, very questionable political point. before trump started piling on to congresswoman omar who does have things to be concerned about, her commentary, her comments she was accused of being anti-semitic and the other slips of the tongue she's made because she keeps failing into these traps, this is an issue dealt with by the democrats. now you have people defending her because the president has gone so far doubling down and making an example he thinks will play well to his base and is crossing the line, democrats are accusing him of incitement, stereotyping and they've rallied
5:21 am
around him. >> this is the cover of the "new york post" last week, "here's your something." pictures of the twin towers falling. the congresswoman was on with stephen colbert last week and in her view, this comes with the territory. >> there are many members of the community that their identities are a lightning rod, being used as political football, talking about immigrants, women of color, people of color, minorities. >> muslims specifically. >> muslims specifically. i just happen to embody all of those identities. >> she was rightly criticized in my view by people in both parties for anti sematic posts. if you watch the whole speech, yes, you can make the case that when you refer to 9/11, you should be very careful about the
5:22 am
words you choose. it's a fair point. the speech is about civil liberties. the speech is about muslims, 18, 19 years later still being looked at suspiciously. some of the criticism is taking the broader goals of the speech out of context. >> i'm going to talk about this purely politically and put the moral question aside. this is a fight the president wants to have. he's not someone who casually chooses his opponents. he's chosen her as a political opponent. he's dragged the entire democratic presidential field into this. i think that's foolish to get in a mudslinging fight with the president defending ilhan omar. i think if it's a question of donald trump vir sis ilhan omar, a lot of americans will choose president trump, particularly on the question of 9/11 and whose language they prefer. >> i think speaker pelosi is setting the tone for the democratic party.
5:23 am
she says we must be careful in how we speak about 9/11. but just add another sentence to that, come into the speech in the first place. but democrats in their rush to make good with the left of their party, they're afraid to not support her. by and large, just when you step back, it is stunning that this conversation is being led from the white house, these video, 18 years after september 11th, after george w. bush was standing on that burning pile of rubble. the president was also at that moment saying he's having the tallest building in manhattan. he has his history of that, seeing people cheering about that, i mean enough of the 9/11 discussion in this respect. i think it's completely distasteful and does not honor the memory of all the people who died and in the wars that followed from all of that. >> to your point, it's pinned atop the president's twitter
5:24 am
page, more than 8 million views as of this morning. >> a crassly political move on the president's part that he thinks is advantageous going into the 2020 campaign. the 2020 democratic leaderboard, bernie sanders among those in the top tier. he gets testy when he's in the top 10%. >> i didn't know it was a crime to write a good book. you're having one more bite no! one more bite! ♪

5:29 am
have the privilege to wait for what fits into someone else's narrow view of what it means to be a progressive. our first priority must be to make people's lives better. >> that's senator cory booker at home yesterday in newark, a rally to kick off the two-week national tour for a candidate that is finding it hard to move up in the early 2020 democratic race. interesting numbers from the early states. this, a new poll in iowa. monmouth university poll, showing the former vice president is waiting to get in, joe biden with 27%, sanders, buttigieg, harris, warren. remember this, this is iowa. let's add in new hampshire. this is a national race so far. the first kickoff state with caucuses. essentially the same result as you look through the race as of now. this is the iowa poll, this is
5:30 am
the support for the candidates. over here is -- 92% of iowans have an opinion about the president, about bernie sanders. pete buttigieg is in third place. senator sanders has room. senator warren a little less so. for these candidates, the getting to know you part phase is still going on, they have room to grow. let's look. california also with a poll. again, this is kamala harris' home state, biden, sanders, harris, warren buttigieg. still seeing a nationalized race so far. this is interesting from the california poll. who has the best policy ideas? sanders leads the pack there. who has the best chance to beat trump, at this moment that place goes to joe biden as you stack it up and go through the race.
5:31 am
the question is for the candidates now, how do you get into this? bernie sanders this weekend tracking the trump map, going to the places, the blue states that donald trump turned red in 2016. bernie sanders saying i can beat him. >> of all the lies, little and small that he has told, the biggest lie of all was when he said during the campaign that he was going to defend the interests of the working class of our country and that he was going to take on the powerful special interests to do that. what a monstrous lie that was. >> those are the two more interesting things to me, sanders trying to make the electability effort. some call it socialism, you're too far to the left. sanders going to the places trump flipped. when you look at the numbers,
5:32 am
iowa and new hampshire are different. california has its own view of the race. this is like the republican race because of the age we live anywhere everybody is connected. it's a nationalized climate. >> it is a nationalized climate so far. this large field likely benefits bernie sanders tremendously. we are still waiting for vice president widen. once he gets in, we'll see if he stays at the top of the heap. bernie sanders can lose support in 2016, doesn't even have to maintain his levels of support, that could be enough to win and carry him over in a state. so interesting he was in wisconsin which he won in 2016 in a primary, michigan, which he won in the primary. one thing he's not talking about is how much some of these things will cost. once other democrats get alongside the debate stage, his plans for medicare for all which several senators have signed on to, these things are going to be
5:33 am
the lightning rod for the democratic debate. we're going to see other democrats like amy klobuchar and others saying how much is this going to cost? once biden gets in the race, we're expecting him perhaps next week, that will then begin to change the shape of this potentially. >> official, today is the south bend, indiana mayor pete buttigieg. one of the ways he's gotten attention is picking a fight with his former governor mike pence, now the vice president of the united states. pete buttigieg, listen. >> if me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade. that's one thing i wish the mike pences of the world would understand. if you have a problem with who i
5:34 am
am, your quarrel is with my creator. >> time for us to move on toward a more inclusive vision than what this vice president represents. >> i think pete's quarrel is with the first amendment. all of us in this country have the right to our religious beliefs. >> even pete put geeg says he thinks it's helped elevate him in the conversation. you made this point about the omar video. this could be a debate that both of them thinks works fine for them considering which electorate they're focusing on. >> when you look at the poll and see how much room that put geeg has to grow in terms of people getting to know him as the mayor of a small sized city, making these attacks and bringing the vice president into this is a way to raise his profile, a way to get into a back-and-forth
5:35 am
with someone who has a much larger platform. vice president mike pence does not necessarily want to be cited because they know it elevates the mayor and they see him rising and see all that room he has to grow in the polls just because of the number of people that have not heard about him or are waiting to see what kind of policies he'll bring to the debate. he's building a bigger platform by getting into this back-and-forth with the vice president. as long as that's happening, more people are paying attention to what he's saying, listening to his speeches. if you look at the california poll, we're still waiting on joe biden. we assume that will happen after easter. do you consider the biden allegations meaning he's using his conduct over the years and made women uncomfortable, nothing sexual, but touching them. is that a serious issue?
5:36 am
if you're the former vice president, that's not nothing, but do you look at that and say, okay, this did not become a wildcard. >> i think if you're biden you stay glass half full. everything biden has done suggests he's looking for a way to skirt these issues and get into the race anyway. so if that that happens, he'll be a formidable force, helping be at or near the top of the polls as we go on, especially all of the pete down ballot, buttigieg and the others, looking to get to be known to the broader audience. if he doesn't get in, it's going to see where the biden support goes? does it go to sanders, buttigieges of the world. that may be a question that we will have to ask. >> until he says i'm in, we'll

5:42 am
did not find. much of the talk this past week was about how the investigation began. >> i think spying did occur, yes. i think spying did occur. the question is whether it was predicated. i no ed to explore that. i feel i have an obligation to make sure government power is not abused. i think that's one of the principle roles of the attorney general. i'm not saying improper surveillance occurred. i'm say iing i'm concerned abou it and looking into it. >> the use of the term spying, which he knows because he's a former attorney general is a term of art with meaning here in washington. made the president happy as can be. you could see schat tore shaheen's pause. they didn't trust him that much
5:43 am
to begin with, now they think here is this guy parroting the president and can he trust him to edit this report. >> this is a smoke screen and we know this report is coming out and won't be positive for the president. this is a way to have a different headline, something the president can latch onto and say this whole thing is about me being spied on by my political opponents. we know there's going to be information that bob mueller looked at the issue of obstruction of justice and couldn't desued if the president was guilty or innocent. he said this doesn't exonerate the president from the crime of obstruction of justice. having the spying issue out there, other people can talk about, republicans can talk about, it gives a headline, rather than focusing on the sfakt that the president may or may not be guilty -- >> you write about this. 400 pages there's bound to be something the media will spin as embarrassing for the president.
5:44 am
will it be collusion, obstruction, criminality? no, no, no. this is likely to deliver a couple of body blows for the president. >> yes. white house officials know this will be embarrassing and potentially damaging information in the report. that's why they started talking about the counteroffensive. a close trump ally also calling for investigations in this story. that's going to be a big part of the white house message. they will tout the exclusion of the report, there was no collusion and mueller reviewed all the evidence and he could not put together a case to charge the president with obstruction and say now we've got to look into why after two years mueller couldn't come up

with a crime. why was the president investigated for two years then? and we need to look into that, that's going to be a big message from the white house. >> one question is how much of this report are we going to see? it's more than 400 pages. there could be large swaths of it that are redalkted. there almost certainly will be. the question here is what was bob mueller's intent? was he intending to present this on a platter without this intermediate staep of saying i'm exonerating him without using that word? this has been so framed already, it's hard for me to imagine what else could be in this to unframe this. that's why the president has raced so hard to try to discredit this. it's not going to be a 400-page read. what was bob mueller's intent for congress to do with the whole thing. >> one piece of drama added to

it was the arrest of jewel juli assange. president trump who once loved wikileaks, not so much. >> this wikileaks stuff is unbelievable. this wikileaks is like a treasure trove. >> wikileaks, i love wikileaks. >> do you still love wikileaks? >> i know nothing about wikileaks. it's not my thing. >> not his thing. >> i think the arrest of the assange will reopen questions that were left unanswered by the mueller report. there's other things happening, is there a continuing beyond the delivery of this report. the interesting thing is you tried to conduct this report in a space free from politics and it's impossible. >> impossible.

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.

let's head one last time around the "inside politics" table and ask the reporters to share something from their notebooks. elliana? >> i'm watching white house planning for a third summit with north korea. the president hosted the south korean president, moon jae-in and talking to reporters said a big deal with north korea didn't work out in hanoi a couple months ago. he's open to smaller deals. that's the first time we've we heard secretary of state mike pompeo say he would like to do a heard him say that. that makes s third summit. we know the president would like to do that. looking for plans for a third summit with a potentially smaller deal on the table. >> jeff? >> talking about south bend mayor pete buttigieg.
5:52 am
one thing he's doing is occu occupying a space that many thought would be occupied by beto o'rourke. i was in chicago for a couple days last week and talking to a lot of former obama aides. they say they recognize, particularly in how he sounds, a lot of mayor pete buttigieg, into what senator obama sounded like. it's too early to say that pete buttigieg is running in the baem lane, any comparisons to previous campaigns are always sort of fraught. no question that pete buttigieg is occupying a bit of that obama lane. o'rourke's people are slightly concerned about this. campaign manager sent out an email saying don't look at these early polls. we're right on track here. there is a sense that he may have squandered an early moment. the question of striking early isn't always good.
5:53 am
>> a lot of b candidates in this field. >> monday is tax day. i'll be watching to see how republicans are still trying to sort of win the messaging war on the tax fight. they passed a big tax bill in 2017, tried to run on it in 2018. polling shows americans largely disapprove of the tax bill that passed, about 49% of voters believe that the tax bill was not a good idea. anywhere from 36% to 40% of voters support the tax bill. you'll see republicans and particularly the president out on monday trying to sell this tax bill. the president will be traveling to minnesota to talk about the tax bill and focus on what he's done for everyday americans and for their pocketbooks and trying to change those numbers. democrats are running against the tax bill saying it was a big giveaway to the corporations and the wealthy. it will be interesting to see as the president goes to minnesota and tries to talk about the tax bill whether he can do what he wants to do, focus on the
5:54 am
economy and not get distracted on what he wants to talk which is immigration and other divisive issues. >> we shall see. karoun? >> in addition to everything else, the question about what the president is going to do on the yemen war power resolutions bill and whether the united states will continue to support the saudi effort there. i think everybody is expecting he'll veto it. but the clock is ticking on that. right now even though there's only a small number of epublicans who supported the saudi-led fight, they are pressuring him to maybe sign this legislation. if he says no, i'm not going to do that and is expected to veto back to congress, what is snekt. >> the momentum to do something about saudi arabia especially since people have not forgotten about the killing of urinalist jamal khashoggi. do we start talking sanctions,
