made and voters have been heard on. >> it what about the fight over executive privilege and subpoenas? do you endorse what white house is doing or do you think they should turn that material over and allow people to testify. >> issues, first of all, i think bob mueller should testify i don't think there is anything to add quite frankly but i think, the mueller report did validate the president said there was no evidence at all of russian collusion that is what this is about two years two 1/2 years going to comey before mueller implying there was collusion with the russians, turns out there was absolutely none i have no problem with bob mueller testifying i know he is under executive department but still i think history -- he should be allowed to testify. >> i was going to say didn't have word "collusion" found no evidence of criminality aside from collusion aspect did not come to determination on

begrudge. >> there was no collusion you go through whole mueller report no evidence of showing any collusion between trump campaign and russia, in addition to that no crime no collusion no conspiracy, nothing at all. to me, it was a really it was a terrible a terribimposition n just on president trump but country i hope never done again. >> despite that meetings don, jr., had in trur tower evidence of collusion they -- >> i sat through all testimony in that intelligence committee absolutely no collusion the reality is first of all, if collusion not you there e-mails a guy promoter i think -- universe contest don, jr., knew him he said i have more information beginning of june don, jr., says great see you end of the summer, no if you are looking for some kind of collusion you don't put off almost two months if russians are serious about it not go

doing having a meeting in trump tower then gets back to don, jr., i am in town can i come over tomorrow, he says come on over, person posts selfie of himself worked through lobby of trump tower walks through trump tower probably shouldn't have meeting that is not collusion that was a mistake in judgment, i doubt if russian spy agencies russian government works that way certainly nothing was done with it meeting lasted 20 minutes, nothing came out of it again, it was a meeting don, jr., trying to put off. >> democraticallimens of the committees they want more information on all this, here is your colleague adam assistive. >> there is no executive privilege over the hundreds of thousands of documents regarding events that took place before donald trump was president, you can't have a privilege an executive privilege when you are not the executive, so they know that vast categories of inapplicable to the privilege they are just stonewalling. >> want records they think the

president is -- doesn't have legal basis defending himself when it comes to actions previous before this president. >> now, talking about tax returns? >> yeah. >> executive privilege issue. >> i don't think executive privilege again imp a lawyer but i am not expert as far as -- pre-- >> let's assume executive privilege does not apply to tax returns before he came president i am saying congress i don't care who it is congress should not be able to get elected officials's tax returns because that can be used for political abuse, there has to show an real undergo reason that underlying, part of conspiracy issue crime operation to say you are going to ask to have tax returns turned over not leaked to the public? no, this is -- i wouldn't say executive privilege would i just say basic issue of privacy they should not be allowed to do it. >> you think using constructive privilege for presidential actions, while he is president do you agree that

the president has a leg to stand on that or that they are just trying have to -- stonewall in the words of the democrats? >> no president definitely has right to -- to assert executive privilege this is time -- i done continually since then, the courts have recognized executive privilege, and i think the president should claim it especially in these cases where the democrats are obviously, over reaching they didn't get what they want on mueller there was no evidence of collusion so now trying to raise every possible issue they can, and as far as the attorney general, i don't see how he can turn over the documents, that are being requested, certainly the grand jury testimony he can't, then there is a million and half other documents that apparently are part of his report. i mean this could be innocent people in there could be allegations raw material the if fact is closed investigation i don't see how that can be turned over, unless it is really carefully analyzed by a court also you could have names of sources, methods of intelligence --

think that has been investigated so far properly? >> no, i think fisa abuse real never should have gotten warrant fbi justice department acted entirely could improperly should never have happened beyond that inspector general does not have subpoenas power attorney general would have i think we get the inspector general report first then attorney general should launch a complete and full investigation as to how this all came about, to me when you look at steele you look ats do dossier papadopoulos all of that undentsdz, unpresented was grateful was wrong, whole top level gi fbi. corrupt. >> nassau county new york, good to see you happy birthday

apprehended. now, struggling to handle the huge surge in central american migrants. the department of homeland security requested on friday more temporary shelter for detained immigrants. acting defense secretary patrick, well, he visited mcallen, texas, on the border yesterday, there are currently over 4300 military troops deployed on the border including active duty and national guard. the troops will remain on the border until dhs is able to recruit more officers to handle the surge. >> we have to have help from dod to increase our toll capacities. >> in terms of numbers, what is pentagon committed to, what have they been asked to do? >> we will be here until the borders are secured. we have to have the backs of men and women down here being overrun. >> in the meantime this morning republican senator lindsey graham announced on sunday morning future with maria

ash issue like this? >> very, very low, the thing is immigration is very complicated issue and congress has not come together on all sorts of things, the wall, the dreamers and i really have my doubts they will come together on something like this, this is an issue that democrats fundamentally disagree with republicans on, democrats control the house and the senate needs to both, the senate needs democrats, this may move through judiciary committee which graham is chair of but chances making through the senate and the house are very low. >> what are the democrats offering up right now, do you know? >> democrats are not offering anything up related to migrants coming to the border but they do have legislation that should come up for a vote in the house sometime over the next month that would provide a path to citizenship for the dreamers and those are the undocumented immigrants who came to the u.s. as children, were given temporary protections under the obama administration, president trump has reversed that and now they are sort of in this limbo, that's an interesting issue because there's broad-base partisan support for giving

these people a path to citizenship or at least protections in the u.s., the problem is republicans that should not be done alone. they want comprehensive immigration reforms, maybe looking at something like the migrants coming across the border or wall money, democrats think they should move just on its own, so like graham, this probably also does not have chance of passing, though, it does have likelier broader support within lawmakers. >> when it comes to dreamers and path to citizenship, senator graham has changed his point of view on this and aligning himself more with the trump administration because he was more in favor and really did bipartisan work in that regard. >> absolutely, graham has worked with democrats a lot on the issue and he has helped produce some of the pieces of legislation over the past few years that would provide a solution to this, now, graham insists he still is for a path to citizenship for these dreamers, he just says it cannot happen alone.

he has taken a harder line on immigration like with this bill he's about to produce, graham is also up for reelection, he's trying to keep, you know, a primary challenger out of the picture and so that could be part of it and the president -- graham has also aligned himself much closer to the president in recent years. >> i want to play sound so folks at home can understand if they don't understand exactly how far apart we are talking, first, i want to play something from tom, fox news contributor and beto o'rourke, presidential candidate. we will start with mr. homan. >> this is unprecedented. i have seen the numbers a couple of decades ago, as discussed many times, mexican nationals that were moved within an hour or two hours, this population isn't going home and that's the driver behind the whole thing. >> you don't come here to take someone's job or for the kicks or to feel benefits, you come

here because there's no other option left. the way to meet this challenge is to go to the very countries in guatemala, el salvador and honduras where these families are fleeing now to work with our partners in the region to invest in solutions that prevent those families from having to leave in the first place. >> so alyssa, my question is and point is, both sides can't seem to decide what the problem is, what it is they are trying to attack here in terms of coming up with solution, how on earth they will come up with legislation to connect to pass and sign? >> that's the exact point. they are disagreeing on what the problem is, right, although you mentioned earlier in the show, the numbers of migrants coming to the border has spiked dramatically, democrats are no longer able to say there's no crisis at the border which is something they were saying a few months with the shutdown and the wall fight, they were saying at that point that this is sort of a made-up problem, they are now acknowledging that there's a

stream because the numbers are there but they are saying because policies that the trump administration has put in place and i deeply disagree with what republicans are proposing to stop it, republicans are saying, this is a crisis and they need to be solved and they're proposing something different than democrats. so i really agree with you, i don't see how they come together on this when they disagree on what the problem is. >> well, and you also have the president running for reelection, you have members of congress doing the same, kind of dicey to get anything done that you can attach your name to when you're out on the campaign trail, isn't cincinnati. >> absolutely. neither side wants to give each other a win but i'd like to point out that even when republicans had control of the house, the senate and the white house, they could not come up with a solution on immigration and this has been something going on for decades. they keep trying to solve the problem, everybody acknowledges there's a problem, they disagree on what the problem is and how to solve it, i do not see that in this politically-charged environment. we have all sorts of investigation that is the democratic-controlled house has going on with the president,

tensions there, issuing subpoenaing for information art -- about family separation and the trump administration is blocking that. tense environment on top of an issue -- >> gone, gone, exactly. >> exactly. >> eliza collins, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> constitution crisis in the wake of the mueller report, is there y and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life. ♪ get your usaa auto insurance quote today. ♪ on a john deere x300 series mower.

committee voted to hold attorney general william barr in contempt over his refusal to turn the full unredacted mueller report. chairman congressman jerry nadler accusing the white house of, quote, stonewalling the american public, that after president trump evoked executive privilege urging the ag to refuse to comply with congressional subpoenas. what does all this mean? former counsel to the senate judiciary committee, good to see you, greg. are we in a constitutional crisis in your view as the critics are claiming? >> we are a long way of constitutional crisis. the phrase has to do with democratic-base politics, it's kind of a way of tip-toeing to line of impeachment but not crossing it. what we are seeing is exactly how the constitution is supposed to function. each branch competing with each other, fighting with each other, this goes back to the very

founding president fought with congress, separation of powers that founders designed for. eric: were we in constitutional crisis when eric holder was held in contempt for fast and furious. >> obama administration was much more substantial than what's going on with barr, barr was under no obligation to hand over confidential report, he turned over, very lightly redacted. the redacted information is information that's protected by law. barr has done really all that he can do, so the idea of putting him in contempt for essentially complying with the law with farcical. >> what would a constitutional crisis look like, if a federal judge or ruling was ignored, let's say? >> it would be something like that, complete disregard for lawful authority, what's

happening now is the house democrats are being extremely aggressive in oversight. and i think they have close to 2 dozen investigations into this president right now. and administration is has responded by taking position on executive privilege and protecting information. that needs to be litigated out and either settled by the courts or settled by negotiation as often happens in these kinds of disagreements. >> you'd have a litigation next tuesday, it's going to be a hearing this at the u.s. district court in washington. judge amet meda, subpoena to get the records from the president's accountants before he was president, what do you expect to come out of that hearing and how would this process play out? >> yeah, i mean, i don't know what's going to happen this week, we will see but the thing to remember is that every single one of these investigations and every single subpoena has daring merit, congress has legitimate oversight interest whether this

president or any president like it or not, it does, the president also has legitimate prerogatives to protect, beginning with executive privilege but not ending there so court wills have to strike a balance and they will in likelihood allow congress to get access to some information and not others. every single hearing is going to be about line drawing. >> when you talk about the line-drawing, what happens if the president or the executive branch refuses to comply with a judge's order? >> that is when you're getting into some real kind of crisis territory, that's not really happened in our history but certainly just a trial court ruling would be appealed. i imagine that whoever doesn't like the ruling would appeal to appellate court and supreme court and we will see what kind of results we get. what's interesting about the area of law is often not been litigated. it's often been settled before it reaches courts or certainly before it reaches supreme court, congress and the white house come to some sort of deal which could involve matters that they

may be disagreeing with on say legislative issues. white house gets something and congress gets something else. >> do you think they'll be a deal here? >> we are in opening act, both sides are political bases that don't want to give an inch, but i think there will be some accommodations made when everyone sees that it's in their best interest. eric: thank you, we will see how this plays out especially in court next week. >> thank you for having me. eric: severe weather on the move for places experiencing dangerous conditions, take a look at the window behind me, it is pouring, we will have more news on that in a moment. that's why they need customized car insurance from liberty mutual. they'll only pay for what they need!
