was shot and gravely injured. a deli owner. he was a good man. he'll never be the same. biskupic. they say, this is what weapon want. this is the most restrictive line in the country. the governor has to sign it. she has six days to read and but he may serve this criminal, sign it, and it would take effect in six months. a sentence that is very short, it's one of at least a half in fact, they're looking at about three years, if you can dozen and there are at least others in the pipeline. believe this. when is this issue likely to land in this court? three years. >> this is what they want, but this is not what they're going to get immediately. there are several different types of cases and abortion laws dangerous criminals must be working their way up to the punished to the fullest extent of the law. justices. that's the only language they this is the most extreme. understand. it's an outright ban. and those who file false police it flatly conflicts with what is now the law of the land, under reports should face full legal roe v. wade and precedents since then in 1992, most notably, where the justices have said, consequences. government cannot put an undue burden on a woman's right to end a pregnancy before the fetus would be viable. and that's at about 24 weeks. every american child deserves to grow up in a community that's so this ban would be totally secure and safe from violence and free of fear. unconstitutional. here with us today is the family the heartbeat six-week bans that
9:06 am
you're also seeing, those would likely be blocked and they have been blocked by lower court of california police officer, r ronel singh. and i've got to know his family. judges, john. not a single one is in effect right now. but what the justices have now they're an incredible family. they just left the oval office. before them, already part of we took pictures and it's not an sort of a first generation of laws that they're considering, are access restrictions. you know, timing, physician easy situation they're going requirements. through. frankly, they're going through does a physician need to have certain admitting privileges at hell. ronel came to this country a hospital before he or she legally in 2003 with the dream of earning the badge of an performs an abortion? american police officer. that was always his dream. and that's before the gist jus right now. if you're thinking about the and that's exactly what ronel timeline, you'll see lots of legal action and lots of talk about bans and about these heartbeat laws. but the real action at the supreme court will be more did. he defevoted his life to defendg incremental at this point and involve a woman's access to the laws of our country. on christmas night, he took a picture in front of the family abortion. >> but potentially at some point christmas tree with his in 2020, and i want to come to the more political part of it in beautiful wife, their beloved a minute, but it's hard sometimes, forgive me for son, and sam, their loyal police stumbling, to separate the politics from the legal. dog. it's a picture that all of us because in a decision that has nothing to do with abortion just saw. the other day, justice stephen i remember it so vividly. i'll never forget it. breyer, one of the liberal justices, wrote this.
9:07 am
i understand because opportunities to correct old errors are rare, judges may be i didn't know i would get to know the family and greet the tempted to seize every family and show the family the opportunity to overrule cases lincoln bedroom at the white they believe to have been house. wrongly decided. i didn't know that. today's decision can only cause one to wonder which cases the court will overrule next. stephen breyer clearly there, teeing up roe v. wade as a but it's an extraordinary potential for this one. family. but i'll never forget the so in that context, let's go back. the chief justices, john picture. then corporal singh headed out roberts, the president of the on duty, which he loved, to united states has named two judges to the supreme court. here they are on the question at protect and to serve. you all know the story. hand. >> as a judge, it is an because hours later, he was important precedent of the supreme court. by it, i mean roe v. wade and gunned down and killed during a planned parenthood versus casey. simple traffic stop. >> do you view roe as having super precedent? >> well, senator, super he was a vicious killer, this precedent -- >> in numbers. 44 -- >> it has been reaffirmed many man that crossed into our times. i can say that. >> yes. >> yes, dozens. country from the border just a little while before. >> and there is nothing in my a vicious killer that could have personal views based on phat or been kept out with border security. other sources that would prevent with the wall, with whatever the
9:08 am
hell it takes. me from applying the precedents could have been kept out. of the courts under principles of stare decisis. >> if you listen to that, then roe is not at risk, but there but we're getting it there. are risks in listening to that. we're building the wall. >> don't just listen to what they say, watch what they do. we're beefing up like you wouldn't believe. the military is come into action. people are trying to come into i'll use brett kavanaugh as an example and i'll say something about the chief. our country illegally because brett kavanaugh, before he said our country is doing well. that at the senate confirmation hearings, had voted on the d.c. they can't come in legally. they have to come in through the legal system. they have to come in through circuit to roll back abortion merit. they can't come in like this rights. he was in dissent, but he killer came in, just rode across essentially took a very, very border, went through every sign narrow view of roe v. wade. that he could go through. so that's why i say, watch what they do along the way. now, the chief justice, who has but and the family is special, never cast a vote in support of abortion rights is now in this ronel was special, and today new position, unlike brett we're really grateful to be kavanaugh and neil gorsucgorsuc joined by corporal singh's wife, is the decider in the middle of a very divided court. and i feel a feeling he might shift a little bit to the left, move a touch more cautiously on annamika and their precious 10-month-old son, arna. abortion, precisely because of your point, john, judicial is
9:09 am
where are you? looking like it's mixed up with they're right here some place. politics and he does not want stand up, please. and also here are his great that message to go to the public. >> if you listen to -- watch the democratic candidates, even parents, ronni and vir and his before this, kirsten gillibrand has said, sorry, i will have a brother, where is reggie, his litmus test if i'm president. brother? i will ask everyone, will you reggie. what a great family. uphold roe v. wade? >> we're listening to president in our polling back in march, open-ended question, what's the trump. he's speaking today outside of the capitol building. it's the annual peace officer's issue most important to you, only 2% said abortion is most memorial service on capitol hill. an important annual event. important to you. presidents have done this for years to pay tribute to the because i think no matter where police officers around this country gunned down in the line you are on the debate, it's of duty. president trump still speaking, settled. as this becomes more and more of an issue, some say, aha, paying tribute to many of the suburban women, aha, that's individual officers killed in this past year. democrat. but if you're the president of and abby phillip joins us live the united states, casey versus from the white house using the opportunity to try to make a few planned parenthood is pennsylvania. that was a democratic governor, political marks, if you will. bob casey. so sometimes it's not as easy as clearly, he didn't name the we think when we look at case, but clearly a criticism of national numbers. >> yeah, look, i think that this the chicago prosecutor who did not bring charges against the is a reminder that the 2020 actor jussie smollett. election could be a culture war and the president right there moments ago making his case for election, as much as an economic the wall, talking about the murder of a police officer in referendum, right? there's so much talk about, california by a man who had well, the economy is going crossed the border illegally. great, if there's a recession, they're not going to hurt trump,
9:10 am
but if it's going well next >> that's right, john. this is a president who has used year, trump will benefit from these opportunities to push that. i think it's more complicated forward to some of his agenda than that. i think that trump himself is on the ballot. items, which do include law it's about trump, but it's also enforcement as it relates to the border. about identity and culture, too. that individual that he just called out a few minutes ago, and this really feeds into that. officer singh was killed by an what kind of a country do you want going forward? and i think that's going to be illegal immigrant who had come what democrats will present to, to the united states. that's why he called that individual out. he also talked about prosecutors to what you said, allow the suburban voters, some of us who needing to prosecute criminals, grudgingly voted for trump in enforcing the law in that 2016, because they didn't like respect. hillary clinton, those democrats he talked about his will say, okay, you don't -- you administration's efforts to give don't love our candidates, you didn't like hillary, certainly, military surplus equipment to but do you want to live in a police jurisdictions around the country where roe is at risk? country, which is something that >> and trump himself, who for the obama administration had much of his life was a actually stopped. pro-lifer, has really but this is a bipartisan embraced -- occasion. you'll see on that stage or you saw earlier that nancy pelosi >> pro-choicer. was on the stage with president >> pro-choicer, excuse me. trump as well. so it is one of those ceremonial has really embraced the pro-life moments for the presidency that position and is keenly aware of transcends political party. how important evangelical voters were to his victory in 2016. but for president trump, his and though he's not a support from police officers across the country is not just a ceremonial thing, it's a major traditional social conservative
9:11 am
by any standard, he has not part of his political coalition. and the kind of rhetoric that he's tried to employ as showed any compunction about president. so i think that's why you've diving into this fight or seen president trump really getting into the issue of going a little bit further here abortion. he's made clear it's pro-life in talking about some of these when it comes to appointing or hot-button issues that he's nominating supreme court tried to champion, because this justices and is comfortable talking about the issue, whether is for him part of how he is trying to make the case that he is for law enforcement in this it's on twitter or with lawmakers, he virtually yelled country. and he argues that his political at, got into a confrontation opponents, because of with the democratic senator, immigration and other issues, are not. chris coons in the oval office so i think this has become and he's comfortable talking about it. ceremonial, somber in a lot of >> we're watching it play out, and politically, democratic ways, but also political for president trump as well, john. >> abby phillip live at the governor kay ivy, she has six days. when we come back, the white house. appreciate the context and president has a new immigration plan, so something's going to reporting there. when we come back squr, get done, right? probably not. ♪ limu emu and doug. conservatives in alabama pass a strict anti-abortion law. they say their number one goal, get it to the supreme court.

9:16 am
there's a new immigration plan from a leading republican today and word that the president will online a plan of his own perhaps as early as tomorrow. an important footnote as we delve into the details at the moment. there are no, that would be zero, democrats onboard with either the white house or senator lindsey graham, which means at the moment, there is zero reason to believe there's suddenly an open to get legislation passed. but to the details now. senator graham's proposal would require asylum claims to be filed in the migrant's country of origin or in mexico. it would allow unaccompanied minors to be deported back to central america. it would increase the length of time families can be held together from 20 days to 100
9:17 am
days and employ 500 new immigration judges, that designed to address the massive asylum court backlog. the republican senator says he's open to other things that might bring democrats onboard, but he says there's only one person who can move the immigration debate from posturing to compromise. >> they know that if you bring a small child y, your chance of being deported goes down to almost zero. they know if you ask for asylum, we don't have enough bed space to hold you for your hearing for three years, they'll let you loose in the country, so they come to ask for asylum. until you change these magnets, these laws, no wall is going to stop the flow. i think you've got that. and the aid makes sense only if you turn off the faucet. we're not going to pass my bill as written. you're going to have to get democrats in the room and this is the time for the tuesday trump to show up. >> cnn's phil mattingly joins our conversation. if you don't get the tuesday trump reference, that is why al gore created the internet. i get it.
9:18 am
he's cared about this issue for a long time. where he is today is almost 180 degrees from where he was in the bush/mccain/kennedy days. that was a very different lindsey graham then. but he acknowledges, i can't pass this. jared kushner briefed republicans on the president's plan yesterday. is there any hope that people are going to say, okay, we need to do something, therefore, let's bring democrats into the room. or is this, put out a couple of competing republican plans so we can use them in our campaigns next year. >> i think you need to separate the proposals. jared kushner's proposal is something for republicans to get behind, related specifically to illegal immigration, kind of a seeries of policies that they cn tout and say they're for something as opposed to opposed to everything. lindsey graham's policy is very specific in terms of the escalation of migrants trying to cross, migrants trying to claim asylum, children, undocumented children, unaccompanied children that are there. and there are elements of lindsey graham's proposal which actually line up with a senate democratic proposal that they re-proposed yesterday. the idea of surging immigration
9:19 am
judges to try to push back on the backlog. that is something that has bipartisan support. democrats are very big to increasing aid to the northern triangle countries, something that the trump administration tried to cut earlier this year, did cut earlier this year. i think you'll probably get a lot of democrats that would support that as well. the idea of changing how long you can detain family units i think probably wouldn't fly very well, but the broader issue here is on the central american migrant crisis, specifically, there are pieces of overlap. i think the big question is, anytime you start anything on immigration, it becomes an aircraft carrier and people start dumping a bunch of things in and everything falls apart immediately. >> aircraft carrier, or as i say, quicksand. every time you try to touch it, you get into trouble. but democrats and republicans have been divided on this before donald trump came on the scene. it's worse now because of his proposals, but long before, here is the acting commissioner of customs and border protection, speaking on capitol hill. set your politics aside for a minute. listen to these numbers. >> we've apprehended nearly 520,000 people on the southern border. in the past seven days, we have
9:20 am
averaged over 4,500 arrests per day. in the last two weeks, we've had our highest single day, over 5,200 apprehensions and our single largest group of more than 420 illegal aliens. already this fiscal year, we have surpassed the total southern border apprehensions of every fiscal year since 2009. >> so whatever your views, that math is daunting. before i bring you in, let me ask this. is there any indication that the president of the united states is willing to do what lindsey graham thinks he should? >> here's the task for you, mr. president. you had a meeting of republicans and democrats and you said, send me a bill. and i will sign it. we sent him a bill and he didn't sign it. so i am urging the president to lead us to a solution. i am urging my democratic colleagues, in spite of your
9:21 am
dislike and displeasure with this president, find a solution to this problem, quickly. >> to get the democrats onboard, republicans would have to give status for the dreamers at a minimum. the democrats right now would say, no, that's not enough, way more than that. but let's just say that's it. the president going to sign a bill heading into the election year that gives the democrats anything they want? >> not like that. he's not going to give anything on the dreamers. we saw this in a fight over that government shutdown that happened just at the start of this year where the president kind of put forward some things. but all of those were non-starterers, because he had to have this wall. and then he moved ahead in an emergency declaration. and so there's no sign that this president is going to do anything that would upset his base when it comes to immigration. he wants to throw them red meat. he wants to say, i'll shut down the border, i'll do all of these other things. i'll make sure they can't apply for asylum here. of course, all of that's being challenged. but the idea that they are going to come together and come up with this grand plan, it hasn't
9:22 am
happened! and as you said, it's not just president trump. this was long before president trump. they haven't been able to come together and come up with a plane. >> this has long been the only, if only nixon can go to china, only trump can figure this out. if you read your reporting today, this is quoting steve camarata, director of research for the center of immigration studies. if there isn't some reduction in the number, the white house risks alienating some of his stronger supporters. that's his position. a senior administration official disputed this, telling pli ing that immigration restrictionist are a pretty fringe group that have not been an important part of the president's base. they have bullied a lot of the most rational people out of the conversation. so if you read that, you think maybe the president might be willing to do some business. is he? >> you know, jared kushner, who is the architect of this new immigration proposal inside the white house has told some of the people he's brought in for meetings that, like with criminal justice reform, which he's using as a model, if you
9:23 am
put good choices in front of the president, the president will make the right decision, like backing criminal justice reform or backing this new proposal, which doesn't reduce the number of immigrants. so that's what he believes. but many of the president's strongest supporters are really hoping that he won't do that and they're threatening to pull their support if the president does support this kushner bill. what i think is interesting is whether wittingly or not, there's a recognition in the white house that immigration divided the republican party like no other for the past 10 or 15 years, and they realize that this bill isn't going to pass, but there's a hope to unite the gop behind a new consensus. and whether or not this becomes law, to have republicans agree on some sort of new immigration proposal that they can use in the 2020 campaign and going forward. >> let's see if that works. >> skeptical that mitch mcconnell who himself is on the ballot next year in a red state,
9:24 am
in a pretty rural state, is going to bring up any immigration bill. >> i'll see in the fine print if the kushner plan somehow cuts the president off from twitter and watching fox news. we'll see, maybe. up next, a new report that says that one of the president's flagship properties is staking on water. i didn't have to run for help. i didn't have to call 911. and i didn't have to come get you. because you didn't have another heart attack. not today. you took our conversation about your chronic coronary artery disease to heart. even with a stent procedure, your condition can get worse over time and keep you at risk of blood clots. so you added xarelto® to help keep you protected. xarelto® - a blood thinner approved by the fda - when taken with low-dose aspirin is proven to further reduce the risk of blood clots that can cause heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death in people with chronic cad. that's because while aspirin can help, a recent study showed it may not be enough to manage your underlying risk of blood clots. in a clinical trial, almost 96% of people taking xarelto® did not have a cardiovascular event.

topping our political radar today, a campaign trail promise from kamala harris just this morning. >> and i'm announcing it for the first time today from you, to take executive action to ban the import of assault weapons into

our country. >> just put the politics in context, the so-called assault weapons ban would be big and controversial and meet huge republican resistance. the measure, a number of proposals from harris that she says would cut down on gun violence. she wants universal background checks. a new report says one of the president's most treasured business assets is in steep decline. according to the "washington post," net operating income at his doral resort in miami fell 69% over the two-year period ending in 2017. the paper says the company blames hurricane and the zika virus for keeping people away, yet similar resorts in the area did better, according to the post. eric trump calls the story completely senseless. treasury secretary steve mnuchin says he hasn't made up his mind. mnuchin today says he's still thinking over how to respond to that house subpoena demanding the president's tax returns. but listen here to the secretary with a clear message. if you're a betting man, bet

some breaking news just into cnn. the white house counsel sending a new letter to the house judiciary committee and its chairman, jerry nadler. the letter making clear chairman nadler will not get records and testimony from dozens of current and former white house staff. this confrontation escalating. let's get straight to cnn's capitol hill correspondent, manu raju. manu, pat cipollone essentially saying, "go away." >> yeah, he is. and this is in relation to the committee's investigation into potential obstruction of justice. you'll recall that jerry nadler, the house judiciary chairman sent dozens of letters to individuals and entities including the white house, asking for a wide range of information and here the white house responding, saying, it
9:36 am
will not turn over this information. one passage from this 12-page letter that was just sent out by pat cipollone, the white house counsel, he says, if the committee intends to continue its inquiry, it would great advance if the process were to narrow the scope of the request in the march 4th letter and articulate the legal basis then it would consider the matter, consider these, but it says very clearly here, john, the constitution does not permit congress to undermine the president in this manner. they say, this would impair the president's ability to carry forward. what they're trying to argue, overall, is that this was a sweeping investigation that was conducted by the special counsel's team. there is no need for congress to redo it. the request for information undermine the activities of the white house and the view of this white house and that they will not cooperate with a wide range of requests. and this is just one of a number of fights that are escalating between house democrats and the
9:37 am
white house about a range of issues. this just being the latest, something that could set the stage for yet more court action to try to get this information, but this latest information, this latest letter saying, jerry nadler, we're not going to do what you're asking for? john? >> the white house well aware that you have these court fights that drag on for months and months, potentially through or beyond the 2020 election year. ma y manu raju live. president trump addresses the democratic election field and it's clear he has a favorite. she can stay with you to finish her senior year? of course she can!

i'm looking at the competition. you sort of dream about competition like that, but who knows? who knows. i got boot-edge-edge. beto is falling fast. what the hell happened? i don't know what the hell happened to biden. i'm looking at him. i'm like, that doesn't look like the guy i knew. bernie, you know, bernie's crazy. bernie's crazy. but bernie's got a lot more energy than biden. pocahontas, i think, is probably out. boy, you've got some beauties there. 350 million people and that's the best we can do. >> the friar's club, playing all week. >> some classic president trump last night in louisiana. berate and belittling his potential 2020 competitors. his most frequent target by far, lately, the front-runner, joe biden. take a look at these tweets from the president since joe biden got into the race. 31 times, the president has tweeted about former vice
9:43 am
president biden. only four times, senator sanders. one time elizabeth warren, kamala harris, pete buttigieg, cory booker, kamala harris. zero reverences in the president's tweets. they come every now and then in the speeches. you're part of a piece in the newspaper today about some people on team trump think this is a horrible idea, that you're evaluating biden. >> maggie and i have a story in today's paper about what you probably can't call a strategy, because a strategy would probably impute some motive and a bigger picture thinking into what he's doing. if you look at that chart that you guys just showed, that's mostly a reaction to what he's seeing on shows like this, on cable television, and also, what he's seeing when he's reading the paper in the morning. he's seeing two things. lots of biden coverage and coverage of polls that show biden reading. and his reaction to that is to take in with the guy he sees as the front-runner. and he's doing it in a way that is a gift for biden in the minds of any republicans, because the last thing biden wants to talk about is his primary.
9:44 am
what biden wants to talk about is trump. trump is basically letting him do that by sort of talking about biden so much. and that invites biden to hit back, and the next thing you know, there's more segments on television than biden than trump. >> to that point, here's the former vice president, well aware he has the president's attention, returns the favor. >> i understand president has been tweeting a lot about me a lot this morning, for a while. i wonder why he's doing that. the president of the united states has made no bones about it. the only way to stay in power is to divide the nation. the thing that will fundamentally change things is with donald trump out of the white house. not a joke. you will see an epiphany occur among many of miy republican friends. >> does the president's attention help him act like he's the presumptive nominee? >> absolutely. i mean it, makes this like a general election contest, right? and biden is already -- >> can we wait and have a primary, please? >> when biden is already on social media, we were talking to
9:45 am
some folks, his social media ads are already focused on being anti-trump. like, unlike others, who are kind of introducing themselves. so this is what he wants. he wants to have this conversation and he wants to seem as if he is the only person that could beat trump. and he's the person that trump is worried about. so that's what trump is giving him by constantly talking about him. >> what really jumped out at me in your piece, jonathan, was the trump campaign's response to your inquiries, which is to say that biden is one of 20 heads in the democratic primary's socialist monster. well, that is not the message that president trump is giving. he's not treating him as one of a bunch of socialist leaning candidates. he's treating him like a general election opponent. and that just, i think, shows you how the president is diverging from his campaign and treating this guy. and he told politico in an interview last week, biden's going to be the nominee. and he's acting very much like that. not good at -- doesn't have a poker face. >> he trusts his impulses and his reflexes.
9:46 am
and we saw this in 2016 and we'll see it more now. >> with good reason, he trusts his impulses and reflexes. all he would note, this gives biden the opportunity to only talk about president trump, as other democrats are attacking him, he gets to basically act like he's above it, not pay any attention to it, focus entirely on the guy in the white house, and i think team biden is probably pretty happy about that. >> but he better be ready. he'll be on a debate stage in just a few weeks. >> very different scenario. >> there'll be other issues there. see you back here this time tomorrow. don't go anywhere. busy news day, brianna keilar starts right now. have a great day. i'm brianna keilar live from cnn's washington headquarters. underway right now, is america closer to roe v. wade being overturned? one state's new bill puts a near total ban on abortion. the threat was so dire, the u.s.
