to begin with. is really $300,000, the charges are separate. see you tomorrow. >> thank you. it's all at work between democrats and the president. about impeachment that is now writing everything to a complete heart. much anticipated infrastructure bill. you know the one. along with potentially all legislation for the next year end a half. how on earth did we get here? it all started this morning. into pelosi had a big conference with democrats before the scheduled meeting with the president. senator schumer walked into my house and said this. >> it's important for us to follow the facts. no one is above the law.

we believe the president is engaged in a cover-up. >> good one. that's right, the president wearing a muumuu. clearly involved in a cover-up. trump didn't like that move. so he ended it after about three minutes. then he held a hatefully arranged meeting in the rose garden. he went after them for the local hatchet. >> all of a sudden i hear night, a meeting right before this money, to talk about the eye. instead of, walking into a meeting, i look at people just said that i was doing a cover. i don't do coverups. i told senator schumer and

policy, want to do infrastructure. you can't do under these circumstances. get these phone investigations over with. >> chuck schumer then did he does best. tried to claim moral high ground. come on. >> what happens in the white house. it would make your jaw drop. i was prepared to give him a 35 page plan. we were interested. we are interested. doing infrastructure. it's clear the president isn't. this was not a spontaneous move on the president's part. it was planned. >> of course there's plenty of things to go around. blame to go around. the president probably should have tried to ride the ball there a little. now, if you i bridges and what your government to pay for it, the roads according to some still very much humbling. there may be more legislation for the foreseeable future.

that's kind of great. his impeachment fight is about to explode. like a live him grenade. who's to blame for sending this car off the cliff? joining me tonight, former presidential writer fort george w. bush. american majority ryan along here. richard dollars still, welcome, judgment. >> good to see her. >> what a night. i will start with you, ned. whose fault? >> democrats. >> i think you're going to say that. >> kennedy, here's the fact. can i just say, how can you have a cover-up and obstruction on hoax of an investigation based on conspiracy very? the thing is, this is a joke. he gave him a 1 billion page of documents, 500 witnesses. he let don have 30 hours of mueller. what do the house democrats think they are going to uncover

that nearly 20 high partisan democrats with all the powers and special counsel and $35 million didn't in two years? practice, democrats boxed themselves into a corner on this issue. if an promising and impeachment impeachment impeachment, now they. to go forward? do they surrender they go forward? matter what decision they make, they will be embarrassed by. there's no, they're not going to win this fight at all. >> needs all right, chuck is all right. it seems a little weird. impeachment. surrender. trump today also said democrats need to make a choice. forty american people, legislate, or invest it. >> i said from the beginning, right from the beginning. you probably can't go down to tracks. you can go down the

investigation path and you can go down the investment track or the track of let's get things done for the american people. i love the american people. >> i would like to of all of the american people. richard is the left investigation going to ruin the country? >> i think the president is going to. let's look at what we saw today. let's be clear and real. having the house impeachment, and inquiry in the past, those are just the vote. >> then all that will help the president. even if -- the bad boys club. he's part of the impeachment society. >> allowed me to say this. problematic for this president, he's showing his unlimited willingness to work, response of subpoenas when congress does have the power to subpoena the president to subpoena the

treasury department, to subpoena all individuals and the fact that he believes that he can do what he wills. that is problematic. it's funny to see a democrat worried about socratic congressional subpoenas but i digress. the fact is, this isn't about oversight. this is about harassment. there have been multiple investigations. we focus on the mueller investigation. we haven't looked at the senate intelligence. >> i'm glad you brought that up. i'm glad you brought that up. because not only democrats have asked for the trump and ministration to work with them, republicans also did. the chair of the committee. richard subpoenaed from the subpoena, remember his own party.

this is not just a democratic party. >> uses the white house, often to the wall. with the committee, he's going to -- >> he issued a subpoena. >> i understand. i'm familiar. it's a bad example. you have to use -- >> pushing the legislative powers and we don't have to give you oversight. until congress -- >> it's a childish way for democratic leadership to grab a just light of power back. >> richard did it as well. he's a republican, chairman of the intelligently and he issued a subpoena to get him to have a conversation. >> yes xm thing you said two sentences ago, i had no idea. >> part of the problem --

>> okay, we are going to watch more stuff. church in merced the president has no idea how he will pay for his big plan. listen. >> he's looking for every excu excuse, the investigation going on three weeks ago when we met. he still met with us. but now that he was forced to actually say how he paid for it, he had to run away. >> does the president actually have an infrastructure plan? ned. >> of course he does. the two to the dollar figure, whatever it was makes me nurse because -- three times, new budget. sure. >> this is the other thing, you hear all these ideas being proposed on legislative front, you had all -- you're not talking of you truly, you throw in all, all that stuff. there are still viable solutio solutions. a real plan we can actually pay

for. donald trump in his inaugural address promised infrastructure to drilling dollars to the american people. excuse me. chuck schumer is right. he's not figure out how he will play board. >> what's funny, so the fuel tax, surcharge is supposed to fund any highway projects. people are driving more fuel efficient cars. >> no money in the highway patrol. >> people are driving these cars that many of them are electric, hybrid and other are designed better. so you climate loving, officer. >> this is a larger element. what are commerce believe, he passed a law and then solve the problem would you have to go back and tinker with that law.

>> think speaking of tingling, let's move on. public and senator john kennedy openly dared to impeach the president. watch. >> possibly to ship needs to urinate or get off the pot. leadership needs to indict the president of the u.s., impeach him and that us in trial. he won't be convicted. >> so richard, or you ready to get on the pot? >> any impeachment article -- >> is the house ready? i know it's going to happen. >> i don't think that for one, the democratic caucus. there were two, probably one of the smartest and city. she knows she needs public and in the only have one.

she needs more then want to make this a real impeachment article and get over the hump of the senate. >> liquid. ned. >> was not. the democrats, the reason nancy is speaker, they're never going to go along with it. chop in 2020 say glad you sent it to congress, we will do this based off this procedure. that we knew it had no chance of passing. >> it's impeachable conduct, then impeach him. go ahead. >> if you talk -- >> stop talking about it, go ahead. we could get the mueller report. >> you see more information. >> show us your big plans. all these things. >> indict john junior. go ahead. >> he does not have the power. >> hallelujah coming up, and you

both. a new report claims trump has only billed less than two on the border wall. now he's fighting back. plus michael just got charged with stealing from get this, stormy daniels. wait until you hear who he's claiming for his legal troubles. it's a good one. ar insurance, so you only pay for what you need. nice! but uh, what's up with your partner? oh! we just spend all day telling everyone how we customize car insurance because no two people are alike, so... limu gets a little confused when he sees another bird that looks exactly like him. ya... he'll figure it out. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

can't see what it is yet.re? what is that? that's a blazer? that's a chevy blazer? aww, this is dope. this thing is beautiful. i love the lights. oh man, it's got a mean face on it. it looks like a piece of candy. look at the interior. this is nice. this is my sexy mom car. i would feel like a cool dad. it's just really chic. i love this thing. it's gorgeous. i would pull up in this in a heartbeat. i want one of these. that is sharp. the all-new chevy blazer. speaks for itself. i don't know who they got to design this but give them a cookie and a star. and relief from symptoms caused feel the clarity of non-drowsy claritin by over 200 indoor and outdoor allergens. like those from buddy. because stuffed animals are clearly no substitute for real ones. feel the clarity. and live claritin clear.

seeing if you know. white house is pushing back tonight on a surprising new claim. the only 1.7 miles of the president border wall. has been built in the last year. low price of $1.6 billion. the president passed the report on twitter writing, well-being built is a complete demolition and we building of old worthless areas with brand-new wall and footings. problem is haters say it's not a new wall. rather a renovation. on. we must build where most needed. tremendous work is being done on your credit base. sixty existing walls bad condition and bringing them to a very high standard.

secretary sarah sanders said if there is a lack of progress, we can think them support. >> we would be doing a lot faster and getting a lot more of it done if democrats hadn't continued to stand in the way. securing our borders, stop this national security and minute during crisis. working with the president instead of working against him. >> trump keep his promise to build the wall? should he change the slogan to fix that fence? washington examiner, along with matt. and recent magazine editor in chief, welcome everyone. thank you. so it is very hard and slow to build stuff government.

>> yes. federal government contracting process, you make may not know, not one 100% super efficient and cost-effective. i thank you should know. >> that's what the president promised. i believe that, for his building and negotiate skills to come into play here. >> although i also kind of don't. personally don't want these skills command because i don't think we should be building the wall. [laughter] >> quickly the other piece, it doesn't really matter how much of the wall is getting built how quickly the mast majority trafficking in illegal entry are at ports of entry. >> to tell people they get mad. >> absolutely. >> all they did, it was great. fascinating. i sat next to his wife. all they like to do is break

about all the ways they get drugs into the country, pretty much weekly. they go to the big ports of entry this is a semitruck, it looks like tomatoes but it's really cocaine and meth. have you get your drugs and? >> from mexico, it will fight for mexicans to pay for the wall. >> heroin. >> a small effective way but no, is this program effective way? you could argue that we can go from one to another. it's just as effective, if it makes people sleep better at night, that's the whole. it comes down -- >> that is the darkest thing i've ever heard. >> he took it from the defense budget. where does that money get a good return? your comparing the wall return

investment to something can do, that you can measure. the other programs -- >> a billion dollars a mile? >> we are getting a high-speed rail. that's more in the high-speed rail from l.a. to san francisco. high-speed rail, 150 dollars. at the high-speed one. >> it went down down to 25 million. it's got to get under 100 million miles. >> so tina, you think that this is the most pressing thing the president should be tackling in terms of people coming into the country and the ease at which people arrive? >> obviously not because we are seeing the start of the presidency until now, there's been no practical construction of the wall.

in a meaningful sense. water apprehensions have still increased to a 12 your high at this time. it shows that our border crisis, if you want to call it that, consider myself a border, there's nothing to do with the physical barrier, everything to do with policies and our federal laws. they haven't changed but our detainment policies have. they've been in the news. there's been an increase low through our seven quarter. all of this aside, still, we get way more illegal immigration from the overstates. >> like fear factor. if you say, if i could eat, i get a half-million dollars. i can deal with that. so people say, all you have to do is sleep in this case for 60 days and then i go in. >> that's not even most people who cross. all you have to do is claim asylum. you have one court date and then leave the story.

>> the statement that this is a country that you do not want to go to not really, you're not welcome if you're not going to the legal process. they can dig under it, it's basically a policy that is, he role in and no one cares. and we have to have a semi- police -- >> this is the last work. >> people who want to come here, work here and build a life here. in an orderly manner. >> i agree. who needs what from whom and let those people work together. >> you're an open borders liberal. it's very different because we want to end it. we have morals. men have been accused of screwing stormy daniels but none quite like michael celebrity taser turned hero, today charged with stealing $300,000 in

advance money that was meant for boobs making. he was charged in two separate cases that had him facing almost 70 years in prison. people claimed his innocence in a statement saying i look forward to a jury hearing all the evidence of passing judgment, common. no time was many money misappropriated. i will be fully released. they are facing the product, keeping to the president. how worried should the president be on a scale of one to not at all? >> if michael didn't want to go to jail, he could have not stolen from the guinness book. he could not have allegedly beat up his ex-girlfriend, but have not committed tax evasion. >> extortion.

>> that's right. >> 404 years in prison. >> is a special place in hell for someone who steals money to make the payments. [laughter] the green room in hell. first class airline want. >> i do think he wouldn't have got caught if he didn't mess with the white house. it's kind of the whole -- one thing, if they had just gone through this whole life and being so crooked, whether it's manafort or colin -- >> @you point out, like a scheme. he had to have other people think and so he could pay out all this stuff. >> he should be flying this close to the white house. that's how he got busted. >> i feel like your comparing all the naughty, super unfair.

>> he has a jet. >> and i'm a mess nbc. i think this is the thing, when he says is politically motivated, he has all these coming in on the same day, and that's all because, it's a woodchuck. it's not. no instructions, no collusion. no extortion. which. by michael. >> i don't think it's actually true. or i think it's true on the margin. constant problems, i do think it's bringing truth to people who are already in this presidential power to say that power gets abused and prosecutions are up. >> he represent very high profile prepared will have legal

troubles like this. there are more documentaries to come. well said. much more with the panel to come. up next, pro- football, one of the most popular sports on earth. why doesn't the league let players use marijuana for pain? lineman eugene monroe is next.

change may finally be wafting through the nfl. medical is decide how to use marijuana to the advantage of pain in players. cannabis his still on the band substances, although players 90% in the league used marijuana to treat a variety of ailments from concussions to pain to boredom.

if a player is caught using weed up to five times, he can receive a ten game suspension. players have lost up to $44 billion over the last five years with substance abuse violations including marijuana. no one wants a leak full of stone zombies but the alternative potentially deadly. player after player tells of traders and doctors passing out by getting an oxycontin in the locker rooms has dispensers. it's a larger opioid epidemic and obviously some players get addicted and have their wives emptied and turned upside down on the carousel. many of them found marijuana does a better job at relieving pain with fewer side effects like liver damage from long-term use of anti-inflammatories. the alternative to deadly opioid addiction and crippling cte is a pass, how can the league pass up the opportunity to properly study the effectiveness of cannabis therapy?

we know state have legal cannabis, 25% drop in opioid overdose deaths. would be nice if the nfl could not only is it desperately needed laboratory for the study but also the impetus for nudging the government to finally reschedule marijuana such benefits can truly be known. for now, we have to rely on data from other countries like 2013 study from portugal special cannabis generating brain cells. in 2012 is really study that showed brain injury recovery which can help athletes understand and treat cte before comes problematic. from anxiety to information, marijuana may be evil to these issues but has to be recategorized destigmatize so players don't have to suffer like criminals and schedules in order to heal. i lead the way in a rain of that and it's about mankind. that's the memo. penn state plus legalizing

marijuana relational, three states legalized. it's turning nationwide. if the states so hi, how can the league be so far behind? twenty me tonight. eugene monroe is here. welcome. tell me about the access so many players have to opioids but not marijuana. >> it's a go to for treating injuries especially acute injuries in the nfl. we know that's problematic. we've heard stories of athletes, including my story about players becoming addicted. that, their life after football and you see throughout our country, we know that i said, cannabis has proven to eliminate opioids, by 25% state that have

legalized cannabis legalization purposes. met, there are other helmets that cannabis can relieve. we can do this in a responsible way without any players high or players being walking zombies but being totally functional athletes. >> that's what is so crazy. if you don't have studies and you don't have proper treatment and proper therapy, then you have players who self medicate. if you are prone to addiction, you're going to over use cannabis the way you would opioids, the differences, were not going to overdose. you're not going to ruin your life like so many players who talk about and i'm sure many of your friends and peers talk about having injuries and telling katrina, my ankle hurts and getting of i, how did it affect your life?

>> it's a bad situation to be in, the only answer is bills, ugly with cannabis, players don't have to have a concern of getting high. there are formulations that have just cbd or ratios of thc and cbd that will allow an athlete or anybody to take the medicine, to be alleviated of the pain and have a fully functioning day and have no detriment to their production. which is so vital for nothing. >> but it can affect your livelihood. i pointed out those two studies from or to go in israel that show generation of brain cells with proper cannabis use. these are countries where they are able to study it. you don't have those studies here but what could that mean for cte? >> those studies are promising. hopefully legislation moves forward in our country that allows for our researchers and

doctors to do that very important work. if they are showing signs that cannabis may dent in some of the very damning issues that the nfl has, particularly had, a very promising thing. i hope that as these lawmakers, people who feel the need to advance medicine, to explore cannabis as an alternative where we don't have an answer for had, in the nfl right now. >> needs to be more research done. otherwise, parents won't let their kids play football and then eventually within a generation or two, the league dies. that's worst-case scenario. coming players do you think now use cannabis? >> the percentage i'd say, i'll

assume it's higher than the standard population because the job in itself creates pain, both acute and chronic. that requires, the players are becoming aware of opioids dangerous. they don't want the same pitfalls the players before them had. the stories are horrible. they see cannabis as a viable option and they are not allowing for usage. many players already live in a place where they have access to it. >> and if you have a couple of infractions, you are randomly tested throughout the season not just during the season itself, rather throughout the year. even in the off-season and the whole thing seems so backward. he pointed out that marijuana is not a magical substance. it's not going to fix everything it is a better alternative than opioids and long-term abuse of anti-inflammatories. would you be willing to talk to the president and discussed

this? >> i be willing to sit down and talk with anybody. it's a medicine that has affected me in a positive way since i've been able to consume and not be pressured by the nfl to any degree. not just me, also i own a business where we serve patients across the country who have story after story, pill bottle thrown away after pill bottle. cannabis usage, really getting their lives in order. they feel better, they're healthier, they can live more productive lives. they can have a better functioning families. these are things that we know become problems in the nfl household, to particularly when players are addicted to the pain pills. >> too easy to get, so many players have talked about. brett favre has talked about his

addiction on like it in. that is the wrong track clearly. hopefully the weed is getting it. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. >> coming up, he could be getting out of prison tomorrow. eighteen years after the american captured in afghanistan. potential danger, panel returns to discuss.

american taliban fighter johnny walker to walk out of prison tomorrow. it's like saying he's still supporting violent jihad. what redemption. he captured the wounded. after a violent prison riot. northern afghanistan months after 9/11. cia officer mike interrogated him. he was killed in a firefight. first american to die in the afghan war. his only 17 and a half years in his 20 cents here. he's released early. it angered people but that's not all. he wrote them a letter in 2015.

this just a few physical think isis is doing spectacular job. thanks for your review. it made me take a second look at this case. jonas, i will start with you. >> can't trust these reviews. not doing a good job. >> no. what a difference a few years makes. >> i never understood this, he was obviously brainwashed. it seems like they either can't or can't brainwash him back to america. if you can't, he has to be locked up for life. if you can, he should have been released five years ago. >> he doesn't have to be patriotic as cotillion. i don't mean reprogrammed like that for hate freedom. his methodology insist that

freedom loving people that. that's what i have a with. at the same time, our strategy can't be keep all the terrorists we caught ever in prison forever. >> needs to be shut down but there is due process here. >> there's a difference between the last few years. with due process but also the system, most people don't serve their sentence. i am sympathetic to the family and others who are feeling fear and anger. the idea of him being out on the streets. at the same time, not exactly the same but they're planning for geriatric care there. it's a retirement home. >> yes, and that. >> we just keep him until he says usa? >> yes.

>> that is not what i am saying. >> even if we take -- >> understand cannot import politicians to craft policy based on my fundable angle there's something about them that's really making me matt. >> the actual davis prison operation movement, the idea of restorative duchess -- he hasn't restored anything. he has a big part. >> the government, alice johnson. >> wrecked. we are dealing with an issue of not even just patriotism waving the flag but the idea, fundamentally holding citizenship that you legally -- >> he wants to be a citizen of ireland. walking off the potato field -- >> that's a bad move in brexit right now. you should note that. [laughter] i don't understand why -- well,

first of all, the present exist, it's to make people outside of the present feel good. >> oh, here we go. >> the present is not going to rehabilitate. >> we have to go which is set. the green room, there are a lot of lovely pieces. thank you so much. i miss you terribly. i hope we come back soon. thank you so much for being here. the top of the storm is next. look at you. no, don't. go ahead.
