she would get lost in her hometown. that was with you salient problems we saw, was enormous fatigue and memory loss. >> we'll have you back to talk about this more doctor. i appreciate your time tonight. that's "the ed show." "politics nation" with reverend al sharpton starts right now. \s. >> good evening, ed. thanks for tuning in. we start tonight with breaking news. late today president obama speaking out against a court ruling from a republican appointed judge temporarily blocking his action on imgrax. it's a major threat to 5 million people who are protected, and the president says -- >> with respect to the ruling i

disagree with it i think the law is on our side and history is on our side. we are going to appeal it and we will be prepared to implement this fully isn't the legal issues get resolved. in this new ruling judge andrew hanon claimed that the obama administration had capacitier bailed illegal immigration, and accused of homeland security secretary of rewriting the laws. even creating them from scratch. the republican officials behind this lawsuit knew what they were doing when they shopped for a friendly court. the judge was appointed by is that george w. bush. the "national review" says he has a record of hawkish immigration opinions. in an opinion last year he even

claimed the white house deportation policies endangers america. the justice department is going to appeal this ruling but in the meantime, the president's program is on hold with millions of people once again left in the shadows by the gop. >> we should not be tearing some mom away from her child when the child has been born here and that mom has been living here the last ten years minding her own business and being an important part of the community. >> those are the stakes right now. tonight this fight is far from over. joining mess are congressman lloyd doggett, and dana mill banks of "the washington post." thank you both for being here.

congressman, you're a former judge. what's your reaction? >> the more the faster they can do it i thought it was very unusual to have an opinion come out of a federal court at 10:00 on a sunday night, and be such an overreached. i'm -- now hoping to become a civil engineer and this really just impairs her future. do your republican colleagues not care?

>> sometimes i feel like they're on another planet. their approach is deportation today, tomorrow forever. they want to deport the dreamers who have been here 600,000 of them have gone through the program already. they're out there attending cool or some in cases, they're out there working in our community. these young people have so much to contribute. let's not let one george bush poundee down in the southern tip prevent more of these -- and eventually the parents of american. >> dana isn't that anything. >> is it really anyone surprise

he ruled there way? >> no i don't think so. a judge has been unwavering to the hostilities, particularly -- and almost certainly this will be -- the injunction will be lifted on appeal and ultimately won't be the policy. so at most it does is slow it down a little bit, and, you know, if you look at this crassly as a political matter, it's not such a bad position for the position to be on now, he's on the side of this very important demographic in american political culture right now. you see george w. bush appointed judge standing in the way. politically they may be right, but for 5 million people they're not thinking politics. >> you're right. accusing the federal government of complete

abdication on its response with immigration. it sounds very similar to the absent indication rhetoric we hear from your colleagues the republicans in congress. listen to this. >> the president has absent dated his statutory responsibility. >> humanitarian crisis that is plays out on our southern border right now, and the abdication of responsibility that's playing out in washington, d.c. >> do you take this political language with a grain of salt? >> it does sound in part a bit like a stump speech. yes, i think we will see this stayed. i hope it will be soon. whatever the value one way or the other, i look at it from the perspective of these young people i've been visiting with

the uncertainty these families face of being torn apart. we will continue our efforts telling them get your application filled out, be prepared to act as soon as this court has acted to stop in nonsense because these families want to be part of america. many of these young people have never known any other country and we need to give them that opportunity. at the same time in washington we fund the department of homeland security. >> you know dana isn't that what is disturbing right-wing talking points in a legal decision? what does this say about the judiciary here? >> i think they have to get the talking points straight. is the president a monarch or abdicate abdicated? if he abdicated, he's no longer a monarch. we've heard a lot of complaints about activist federal judges typically from conservatives, but of course conservative judges can be activists, too.

here's a guy who is doing that essentially legislating from the berge and trying to undough what the duly elected president has done. >> congressman, we also have the speaker, speaker boehner, saying that he's well to lit homeland security funding run out unless democrats agree to defund the president's actions. listen to this. >> and what if the department of homeland security runs out? >> then senate democrats should be to blame, very simply. >> you're prepared to let that happen? >> certainly. the house has acted. we have done our job. >> a new poll shows that 53% of americans would blame republicans. just 30% would blame president obama. is it about time congressman doggett, that republicans started rethinking their strategy here? >> absolutely. if they want to hide behind this

erroneous decision they can use it as an excuse. let's not see furloughed some 30,000 department of homeland security employees at a time we face additional international concerns about our security. it's unfair. majority leader mcconnell said earl why are in the years, no more government shutdowns and here we haven't gone two month and they're talking about doing it again, for, of all things, the department of homeland security, to say they will not fund it the same wait out? agencies are funded is just incredible. it inhibits the department's ability to make sure we are protected. same people are complaining that don't have enough border security are the ones that won't fund the security we have and need. >> you know dana let's go back on that point, to your point on

politics. how do you republicans think they can have a future for the party when they offend a major constituency in terms of latino vote? and in these times where we have all of these real anxieties, you're going to even flirt with shutting down homeland security and what that means to american people, real or imagined? >> right, reverend if you're taking the long view it really is inexplicable. i think the republicans feel they can get away with this largely white male southern party for a little bit longer. obviously they can't do it for very long. this sort of conflict is going to highlight that distinction, and that's why, if anything the poll numbers that you cite probably will be even more lopsided if the shutdown actually comes because the president, any president, tends to win these fights with congress particularly because he's got public support both on

immigration, and he can be suggesting that the republicans are being weak on terrorism. so it's -- it's a no-win situation they seem to have gotten themselves into here. you've got to think they're going to find a way to climb down. >> congressman, do you believe they will let the department of homeland security shut down? >> it could happen reverend al. it's amazing. these things happens with folks you never expect. speaker boehner was in san antonio not so long ago tell us he wanted to get immigration resolved. he's continued to say that. and the only reason the president had to take this action is because of the total failure of the house of representatives to consider this issue and permit people of goodwill, who are republicans and democrats, to come together and pass comprehensive immigration reform. they cannot even pass through the house a totally partisan republican homeland security

bill only that was proposed earlier that would demand before we act on other immigration that our border by tighter than noirk. totally unrealistic. they were all for it anything that smacks of action on immigration seems to be something that these republicans will not get behind. >> congressman lloyd doggett, and newly clean-shaich dana milbank, thank you both for your time tonight. >> thank you. coming up the campaign to block the loretta lynch nomination, the real reason they oppose her as attorney general. also dramatic video from inside the aaron hernandez murder trial. why did he take apart his phone the day after the victim's death? all that plus the secret meeting between hillary clinton and elizabeth warren. why the first lady is teaming up

the snow closed most of government offices today, leading to scenes like this. a massive snowball fight in a d.c. park, since so many kids and adults are a snow day. but it was still a busy day at the white house, where vice president today swore in ashton carter as our nation's news defense secretary. it was a big day for secretary carter, and it should be but this stands in stark contrast to what happens happening to another obama nominee, lo redo lynch for attorney general. take a look at this.

it took 74 days for carter f president obama nominated lo redo lynch 101 days before, and the senate committee hasn't even voted yet. now house republicans are trying to block her, too. a group of house complains are reportedly pressuring senate judiciary members to oppose lynch as nomination. 20 of them -- so here's my question. we got a new defense second tear today. why haven't we gotten a new attorney general? thank you for being here joe. >> thank you, reverent. >> the house has no say in approving the president's nominees. why are all these house

republicans trying to block loretta lynch from taking office? >> they do the dirty work for the senate. the senate is supposed to be an august body the more deliberate body, but what they do is allow the house to be the rabble-rousers particularly to rasual up their base. number two, this is -- are definitely opposed to. she has said and stated that she certainly agrees with the president's position on immigration, and that represents that position as the attorney general. that did it as far as those house members of concerned. then there's the 800-pound gorilla in the room she's a woman, she's african-american,

they think she's going to be another eric holder and as you know, being from new york loretta lynch has taken on the mob, she's taken on terrorists she's taken on wall street. she has taken on some of the most difficult cases that this country has, and if i'm not mistaken she's been confirmed twice. >> not only confirmed twice. in the hearings around the judiciary committee, they were all praising her. listen to this. >> i'm impressed with your qualifications, and i hope to support your nomination. >> i'm very impressed and want to thank you for upholding the law in your career. >> i could say congratulations to you for an outstanding career. >> a number of my friends and colleagues who practice law in new york have reached out to me with words of praise for you. >> a compliment from ted cruz?

no doubt she's qualified. why don't they take the vote? >> because they're afraid of their base. that's exactly what this is all about. these guys are playing to their base. the bottom line is once again, you know and i know if there was any real real opposition serious opposition to what lo redia lynch could not do this job, new york is full of legal minds that would express that. so you know take the vote and let's call it a day. as a matter of fact there's a historical opportunity for the republican party to do just that. here we are in february near the end of black history month, they could make some great inroads, once again, as you know, they have already confirmed her twice. they know this nominees almost better than they've known any nominee that's come before them. >> i hear you about her position

on immigration. i think jeff sigz even said that but isn't this almost them just spitting at president obama and attorney general holder? >> this is exactly what it is. you hit it. this is about going after eric holder. i think i said this the last time. think probably have mentioned his name more in this committee hearing than they have mentioned loretta lynch ace name. this is exactly what this is about. she is her own woman. she has been her even woman. she's one heck of a prosecutor always has been and they ought to allow the president to have his attorney general bottom line take the vote call it a day, and let's get on with enforcing the laws of the united states of america. when she takes that oath of office, it would not be to uphold president obama.

ed right wing is still cracking up over phil robertson. the start of "duck dynasty" is being honored with a free speech award at the conservative cpac

money was the same thing as speech. so maybe they were just confused when they gave a free speech award to mr. duck, because a group that also thinks money is free speech doesn't have a grasp of the concept. did they think we would be happy happy happy about this? because we're not. nice try. but we gotcha. introducing the citi® double cash card. it lets you earn cash back when you buy and again as you pay. that's cash back twice. it's cash back with a side of cash back. the citi double cash card. the only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase with 1% when you buy and 1% as you pay . with two ways to earn, it makes a lot of other cards seem one-sided. good job! still running in the morning? yeah. getting your vegetables every day? when i can.

the prosecution's case hinges on the question did ralph know right from wrong. routh has pleaded not guilty. the prosecution showed routh driving kyle's truck in a high-speed chase before they turned himself into police and the moments after his arrest when he said i don't know if i am insane. and a taped confession where routh said quote -- i was going to be the next one getting my head shot off if i didn't take out his soul, he was going to take my soul next. >> how did the prosecution do? >> i think they did the best they could with what they have. here you have a defendant with a history of mental illness, so from a defense perspective, i could sigh wee the defense would want to say -- but i think they

did an effective job that know egg this guy knows the difference between right and wrong. one, he fled which is clearly an indication that you know of what you just did is something you want to evade capture from. his statements he admitted to killing them saying he was sorry. what does that mean? you feel back about what you did, because what you did you know is wrong. i think the prosecution did the best they could. >> ken, how do you think the prosecution did? >> i think the prosecution did a very good job. i was a homicide prosecutor. i used to look at all the people i prosecuted and i thought they were all crazy to do what they did. but the reality is that in a trial where the defense is insanity, most juries do not buy that as a defense. in this case i think it will be the same problem for the defense. they'll have a hard time, the

defense, convincing a jury that this client who's on trial didn't know right from wrong. he's apologizing for shooting these two men, so i think that very clearly is pushed by the prosecution to this jury. he does in fact know the difference, and most juries like i said don't buy the insanity defense. >> what does the defense need to do, midwin? >> see, this is the thing, when you're a defense attorney you get the case the way it is you have to work with what you have. what these defense attorneys have, is they have someone with a history of ptsd diagnosed in 2011. they have a client who was medicated, and also took drugs, so they are doing the best they can do. all they can do right now is point out, listen this person didn't know the difference between right or wrong, and he was out of his mind when he committed these crimes. i think it's an uphill battle but they're doing what it is they have to do. all defense attorneys must

represent their clients zell outly and do as much as they can to get an acquittal. let's move to the aaron hernandez trial, the video his lawyers did nonwant the jury to see. he's accused of killing semipro athlete odin lloyd in 2013. here's the video the prosecution showed today from the day after the killing, when hernandez left the police department a detective zoomed in on him with a surveillance camera in the parking lot. if you look closely, you see his cell phone is in three pieces on his lap. police say he took it apart. now look at this shot. it's a little bit later, and it shows hernandez using two phones, the second one is from his lawyers. prosecutors say he used that new phone to call the one of the other men charged with lloyd's murder. ken, the defense tried to keep this video out of the trial.

how does it help the prosecution? >> well it's got to be really weak evidence, quite frankly, reverend. somebody's phone doesn't work well, they take the battery out, they reset it. you know, he didn't destroy the phone or demolish. he doesn't break the sim card in half. i think it's a piece of circumstantial evidence that they want to present to the injure, but it's not that strong. and the fact he's using another phone may also just corroborate a defense argument that the first phone wasn't working properly. it's rather weak. as a prosecutor i would have presented it but framed it to the jury that this is just ha small piece of evidence to consider in light of all the other evidence. >> what were they trying to do? >> i think they were just trying to show that you know he made certain calls at that particular time, therefore trying to box him in. also a lot of times what prosecutors do they introduce evidence to sort of create a timeline of events.

that could have been where they were going with introducing that evidence but i agree with him, i don't see how strong it is. this is a circumstantial case it is not a slam dunk but when you start arding circumstance after circumstance after circumstance, you start marching towards a conviction. >> let me raise this though ken. hernandez is inside a car in a public parking lot. is there an expectation of privacy here? >> not at all. all the time when you're in public, for instance, even in a police station or in the back of a police car, there's no expectation of privacy. police officers all the time put two defendants together in the back of a car and hope they talk, and they record that conversation. there's no expectation of privacy that he's in another vehicle in a public parking lot taking apart a phone? no, no expectation of privacy. >> so when you say this is a circumstantial case, but trying to piece enough together for a injure to say there's enough there to convict?

>> absolutely but i think what's missing from this case is motive. i don't know that the prosecutors are doing a good job of showing motive. you don't need it but juries sure as hell like it. >> thank you both. still ahead, the agenda for the secret private meeting between hillary clinton and elizabeth warren. also apple's next big thing. why the auto industry may have something to worry about. and what you are saying about my surprise run-in with sarah palin.

"new york times" reports hillary clinton met with senator elizabeth warren one on one in a private meeting in december. the times reports clinton asked for policy ideas and suggestions from warren and used the meeting to build a relationship

with warren. a democrat briefed on the meeting called it cordial and productive but hillary did not ask ms. warn are warren to consider endorsing her likely campaign. angela, a pretty juicy story. what do you mike of this meeting? >> i think the democrats are better at keeping secrets that the many republicans, rev. when jeb bush and mitt romney met, that was making front page news. jeb bush was taking photos in the airport and now you have a meeting that teems in december so i think we're certainly better strategists since we're able to hold our water a bit. >> i think it's one of toss situations think sea keep your friends close and enemies closer. elizabeth warren has a lot of support. people are begging her to run. they have set up a pac without

asking her, you know if she wants them to or not, in order to encourage he to run. so hillary clinton knows this is someone who could be taking attention away from her, and i think that hopefully she might pick up a things or two. she has a big -- when it comes to the economy and wall street. >> i think it's a very, very smart strategy on the part of mrs. clinton. i will read mrs. clinton's book if she promises to read elizabeth warren's book. >> all right. let me ask you, angela if elizabeth warren has input and does not run, that clears the field of any potential superstar or big name but you still have others out there. could any of them game traction?

i think others could, but i think we need to level with the progressive community at this point. elizabeth warren is not running. sure there are things she could share with hillary clinton, but hillary clinton is no rookie. we're talking about a woman who was first lady for two terms of her president's tenure. we're talking about a senator from new york someone who has already run a presidential race. she can learn from them but she can also teach them. whether or not anyone else jumps in it's clear that folks are ready for hillary, and she's certainly ready to run. >> but karl rove said if elizabeth warren ran, it could give a run for her money. watch this. >> it certainly would give he a scare. i think elizabeth warren's hard-level prescriptions since to the hard of democratic voters. z
