arthel: a challenge to president trump's emergency declaration over the border wall with capitol hill set to take action this week. but the president is not about to back down. eric: the house will go first, followed in 18 days on the senate. both set to vote on the resolutions of disapproval. but president trump now sharing his next move. >> will i veto it? 100%. and i don't think it's about the veto.

we have too many people who want border security. i can't imagine if it survives a veto. but i will veto it, yes. congressman, great to see you. you just heard what the president said. he's going to reto it. do you expect the resolutions of disapproval to pass? >> right now it looks as if the democrats have the votes in the house. they have 220 democrats signing on to the resolution. i will vote against it. i'm not necessarily enthusiastic about what the president is doing. he has the right to do it legally and he is the commander-in-chief. but he'll be using defense funds to defend the border. this is clearly within his right as president and the congress should not be interfering with it. eric: what about those who say

he's exceeding his executive power. the "wall street journal" says both parties don't mind stretching constitutional limits to achieve their political goals. democrats cheered on barack obama's legal abuse on immigration and so much more. constitutional conservatives should be wary of both. democratic abuses of power are no excuse for republicans to do the same. what do you think? >> i'm glad journal points out the fact about barack obama. president obama gave partial amnesty to dreamers. i'm not cheering on what the president is doing. i am saying he has the right to do it under the legislation. to me there is enough of a link here using defense fund to carry this out and he considers this to be a violation of national

security. this is access across the border is weakening on defense and national security. and using national security fund to build a wall. there is enough of a nexus to justify this. he clearly has the power understood the legislation passed in 1976. eric: what do you think will happen when it will likely reach the supreme court? >> i can't speak for the supreme court. but i would think judges look at the statute will say whether they agree with the president's decision or not. this is his prerogative at president of the united states under the statute passed by congress. if congress thinks this is too much power for the president, they should change the law. the way the law is written he has broad latitude so he's doing it under the law. if congress feels that strongly by the, we should change the

law, but not coming in retroactively and say it was okay for president trump to do it but not president trump. eric: do you think there should be some tweaks because of this? >> this will make us aware of the fact that there can be an abuse of power. in this case it's within the parameters because it's defense funds being used. there can be cases where it can be stretched. probably back in 1976 they didn't anticipate the world we were going to live in in 2018, 2019, and 2020. they should tailor it more to the 20th century. eric: the military funds will be taken out of their districts and used for the wall. what do you say to them when they are complaining and they are rightfully angry the d.o.d.

funds in their districts being fund out to try and help build this wall? >> i can understand that. but if the president seize it as a national security matter, conservatives should realize national security does trump local domestic needs. if you are military based in your district, i understand how important that is. in the larger picture, you need to look at the overall national security issue. i would hope in the coming budget we can find away to adjust it, republicans or democrats who got hurt by this. long because of the new york experience back to 9/11 and before that for many years, we have known each other for 30 years, you covered these and dealt with national security issues. do you believe there is a national security knowledge or crisis on the border? >> i think it's a continuing crisis.

this should have been done a year ago. i'm not talking about a thousand-nile wall or 2,000 mile wall. but there are key areas where it's need. when you talk to border patrol people they say there are certain areas where a wall is need. they also need technology, more border patrol agents, use of drones. there are multi-faceted offenses which is what president trump realized when he built 130 miles of barricade along the border. this is such petty action by the democrats opposing the wall. that's why president trump is put in this position where he feels he has to put the barriers in. you can question the judgment of that. but he has the responsibility for national defense and he's using defense funds for this. eric: critics point out the

national security, keep america secure act back in 2006 democrats voted for 600-something miles of wall. congressman peter king of long island, new york, good to see you, thank you. arthel: the crisis in venezuela boiling over as embattled nicolas maduro vows to block humanitarian aid coming into the country. politicians here say maduro's time is up. let's listen to lindsey graham with maria bartiromo. >> it's not if maduro falls, it's only when. it's just a matter of time. it's unsustainable. to the people of venezuela, the trump administration has your

back. arthel: what are opposition leaders in venezuela saying today. reporter: the venezuelan people will not back down in their fight for democracy. but embattled president nicolas maduro is not backing down. the opposition was hoping the venezuelan military would turn on maduro's orders. a few dozen military officials have abandoned their post. but so far the military leadership is sticking with maduro. >> we need to keep the pressure in different levels on the streets, use our national assembly as the only elected institution in the country. yesterday something happened which is very relevant. 16 members from different forces decided to support guaido. >> military forces which

reportedly include cuban agents sparked violent clashes at other crossing. they are goinged to hold off on trying to get the aid across the border per until they can talk with their interest national partners. >> watter steps does the u.s. as well as the international community plan to force maduro out. he's not leaving. reporter: vice president mike pence will be in colombia tomorrow. secretary of state mike pence would not rule out the possibility of military action. >> we are going to do the thing that need to be done to make sure the venezuelan people's voice and there is a brighter future for the people of

venezuela. >> in addition to those meetings taking place tomorrow, we are told they will be discussing venezuela. the situation and the steps the international community can take together to force maduro out. eric: also special counsel robert mueller's team filed a stunning and scathing sentencing memo on trump campaign chairman paul manafort. they accused him of brazenly violating federal law for a decade. he possibly could be sentenced for decades. hi, david. reporter: as president trump is in hanoi for that summit, there will be a lot of noise and news on capitol hill. you mentioned this paul manafort sentencing document. michael cohen is going to be

testifying on capitol hill. so a lot of news when it comes to the special counsel. this document does not recommend a specific prison time, but it's potential that paul manafort could get a significant amount of prison time. the memo says manafort chose to violate the law, tax fraud, money laundering and obstruction of justice. and the foreign agents registration act. the documents claim he shared polling data with a group that has ties with the russian foreign intelligence agency. mueller's team originally planned to offer man for the some sort of out, some sort of leniency. but that went out the window when a judge found man for the

lied to investigators. after it go to the attorney general, the question is, will it remain public? will the public get to see what's inside this report? kamala harris was asked about it this morning. >> i am an advocate for transparency and a public report. certainly that we in congress would receive all of the supporting information, in a classified hearing or not. reporter: michael cohen will be on capitol hill three separate times this week. paul manafort will be stearnsed in a separate virginia case involving tax and bank fraud. eric: paul manafort is 69 years old. how long do you think he could face behind bars? >> that's the question people want to know. in that virginia case he could

get up to 25 years behind bars. that will put him well close to 100 years old. as far as the dc case. special counsel mueller did mention in the report that resaid civil could be a problem meaning they worry man for the could commit a crime if he was let out of prison. >> will iran test firing a cruise missile during an annual military drill in the strait of hormuz. the exercise coming amid heightened tensions with the u.s. woafort drawl from the nuclear agreement. trey? reporter: the iranians test fired a cruise missile in the strait of hormuz. this test further raising tension between the united states and iraq.

today's test was significant since the cruise missile was launched for the first time from a submarine. at least two other iranian submarines have the same launching capability. surface to surface missiles were fired and launched. more than 100 vessels participated in this weekend's drills. the united states and israel continue to warn iran against provocative action in the middle east. the israelis and americans have spoken at length over the past several months about what officials see as aggressive iranian action primarily in syria. >> i have a clear message to the iranian regime that want to destroy israel. israel will continue to act as necessary in order to block military infringement in syria.

reporter: with thousands of iranian-backed troops operating on the ground in syria, the americans and israelis rory verbal threats from the iranian regime in iran could turn to action in the future. >> president trump is preparing for a second summit with north korean leader jim jong-un. coming up. what administration officials say they are expecting this time around as those negotiations continue. and could they lead to a potential denuclearized korean peninsula? cordon chang our asian expert will be here on that. >> what kim jong-un is seeking. check prosperity and security. we are seek one thing. disarm nuclear weapons. disarm ballistic missiles.

heading into this summit. >> there has been no change in u.s. policy since i have been secretary of state. even before that when i was the cia director. our objectives and missions are clear. we may not get everything done this week, we hope we'll make a substantial step along the way. eric: hi, ellison. reporter: president trump is set to leave for vietnam tomorrow. based on his tweets so far today the president seems confident this will be a successful summit. senior administration officials told reporters the goal is to advance the four pillars laid out at the summit in 2014. complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula and recovering and returning the remains of soldiers missing in action.

>> chairman kim unequivocally stated he would denuclearize his country. there were other pillars we committed to as well. we have made progress on some, less so on others. we built up the world's co-whrition to communicate to chairman kim that now is the time. reporter: president trump tweeted he and leader kim jong-un expect the continuation of the progress made at the first summit in singapore, denuclearization. secretary of state pompeo says the goal is denuclearization, but it's a big goal that will take time. >> if you look at concessions kim has given so far. kim has released u.s. detainees who shouldn't have been in prison in the first place.

he decommissioned an old nuclear test site after six nuclear tests he doesn't need any more. he has money from lax sanctions enforcement. reporter: senior administration officials told reporters there will be a one-on-one bilateral meeting between the two this week. eric: everyone look for could be crete results. arthel: gordon chang is here. he's the author of "nuclear showdown, north korea takes on the world." no doubt high-stakes meetings like this is laced with pitfall and geopolitical landmines. for president trump, what are they? >> people are saying this is the

second summit and you are not getting concrete prop is out of the north koreans. we need a complete declaration of all their missile and nuke sites and a firm timetable for disarmament. we are not anywhere close to that right now. we should be there already. thearthel: there are other plays at the table. china who is double dipping on trade. how does the president play his hand toward those countries? >> president trump should be putting pressure on moscow and bay jim and seoul. secretary pompeo says our policies haven't changed. well, they have. we have relaxed sanctions. they are getting the money they need. arthel: sanctions on china,

russia, south korea? >> yes. you have russian banks that continue to launder money. we have laws against money laundering in this country. we are not enforcing them, arthel. arthel: i want to show a tweet from president trump this morning. he says chairman kim realized better than anyone else that without nuclear weapons his country could become fast one of the great economic powers in the world. it has more potential for economic growth than any other nation. at what point does he confront kim jong-un about human rights violations. >> north korea, chinese, they put their best diplomats on human rights because that's

where they are the weakest. if you dough back to the state of the union addresses. the escapee raised his crush. we need to press them on all fronts, including human rights. arthel: kim jong-un in the kim regime has been disingenuous for decades. deceptive. if kim jong-un wants to continue to operate on this platform president trump has given him, how long can he continue the game of deceit before he's dismissed and written off. >> that's up to trump. i think the united states has the means without use of force to get the north koreans to give up their weapons. kim gets a lot of his money from russia, china and south korea

and other places and we have the means to stop that. every dollar in the world clears in this city in new york. we have the means to stop those dollars going to kim jong-un. arthel: you have china double dipping, meaning the president is dealing with them in terms of this trade war or trade deficit. how do you juggle both of those at the same time? you want china to come to the table on trade, what do you do? >> i think what you do is put a cost on the chinese. for two decades beijing has dangled this all ideas of cooperation on north korea. if we give them something else. and they never really help husband on north korea because they always support pyongyang not only dip make itally. but supplying technology for their missiles and nukes. we are putting costs on china

which we should be doing. if the chinese want to us relieve them, then we can talk. entice china into cooperation is the strategy we have had for two decade and it's completely failed. arthel: you mention the word with fail," and it seems the first summit wasn't a success. waption the point here. why is the president meeting with kim jong-un a second time in this glorified meeting? kim loves it. this is what he wants. he wants to be legit minds and the president is giving this to him. what would be considered a successful outcome of this summit? >> we need the declaration and timetable. i think what president trump is doing, he's changing the goals from disarming kim to wooing kim

away from china. their policies really only make sense if you think that it's important to separate pyongyang from beijing. arthel: is south korea falling under the spell of kim jong-un? >> the south korean president who is * anti-american and pro north korean web has been busting sanctions openly and we have been allowing him to do it because he's our ally. our western defense perimeter is not off the coast of hawaii. it's off the coast of east asia, and south korea anchors the northern part of our perimeter. if south korea becomes part of north korea. that's a possibility because he wants unification. they will were if he wants that

to happen that means he's playing footy with kim jong-un. >> have much so. and he's supporting kim jong-un's positions across the board. arthel: will kim jong-un give up his nukes? >> only if president trump forces him to, and so far we are not forcing him too. so the d fiercin d so far we arg him to, so the answer is no. arthel: i enjoy talking to you about this topic it's a complex situation. i like how you break it down for me and our viewers. eric shawn? eric: an historic meeting with pope francis. we are live in rome with what the pontiff wants. the showdown in venezuela

between disputed dictator nicolas maduro. that has turned deadly. >> we are hopeful the days and weeks and months ahead that the maduro regime will understand the venezuelan people have made his dayshi numbered. irline purc? everything. hey, how'd you get in here? cross-checking. nice. what's in your wallet... oh, c'mon! you have 4.3 minutes this time,to yourself.rn. this calls for a taste of cheesecake. .. rich, creamy cheesecake with real strawberries. find them with the refrigerated desserts.

eric: daniel halper contorting editor, i'm in this crisis as a vivid reminder of hugo chavez at maduro's path approach socialism as a sadly and tragically put their nation and the road to ruin. remaining defiant, how do you think this can break? >> is been a crisis for years in the making. people have been starving for a long time but it's really sad. but now of course i take on a new dimension with an internal resistance obviously one who has proclaimed himself interim president and a gain support from america and many of our allies. the question of course is can he hold onto his own power within venezuela and what can the united states and other countries that seek to give legitimacy toward this interim president, what can they do to help him? a key moment will be tomorrow when vice president pen is scheduled to meet with juan guiado in colombia and see where it goes from there and whether

they're actually able to substantively and substantially help him with this in his own country. eric: would you like to see the vice president offer? >> so far the american mind appears to be basically regime change in that sense. we don't put it in those terms and it seems a little strange because president trump came into power saying that the united states insert themselves too much into foreign countries in terms of the united states military. i doubt they go that far. so i think there are limits even though mike pompeo and others in the administration has suggested the doors open. i think there will be an attempt to continue to pressure the regime and pressure are maduro basically out of power. they basically need a landing spot for him. where can he go when he is in the fight of his life trying to maintain his power and

stranglehold over the country. eric: how about moscow or tehran. have a stranglehold over that country. today pompei within the cuban agent as well as armed thugs are being used by maduro's to attack his own people. at the same time he'll field number yankee go home. >> maduro has been launching not. he knows what he's doing. he's trying to rile his troops in the succeeding as far as we can tell. tree into which he got 50 nations, not just the u.s. coalition of 50 nations plus demanding new elections and in some cases that he step down. but then he got this. when they reach you at the democratic center chris murphy is tweeting peered quote, part of this, democrats need to be careful about a potential track being sent by trump in venezuela. sharing the humanitarian convoy sound like the right thing to do. what if the design of pretext

for a war. follow my logic for a second. there was evil knew i should pursue -- no one can defend what he has done to venezuela, but it's quite a different thing to incite a civil war with no real plan for how it ends. sounds familiar. do you think the u.s. is really siding with the war? what if the senate are talking about? this has been going on for a decade. >> 10 years ago there was a flood of the people at the hotel trying to get out. they were signing up to go to australia. >> in the democratic party here, there's obvious distrust of donald trump. there is that element of the democratic response. the other element is as the democrats become more and more left-wing and more and more socialist, they see -- you know, they see this fight and venezuela vis-à-vis themselves in this attack on socialism as

an attack on themselves. i don't think their policies go that far it doesn't quite work out that way, but she seen the reluctance of some democrats. bernie sanders to go as far as they got maduro is not the legitimate leader. i think it has to do with him calling himself a socialist and maduro calling himself a socialist and then being eye to eye in that regard it obviously the policies are more extreme and are maduro. i do want to suggest otherwise. they see themselves in this fight and becomes more and more complicated. but you know, the democrats don't have power as far as foreign policy goes. there are people like marco rubio and lindsey graham who are sort of going much further than where the trump administration is willing to go at this point. look, internally as far as the united states goes, there's always going to be criticism and
