♪ ♪. ♪ ♪. ♪ ♪. you could call it the washington whiplash. another busy day did the white house. the president took a stance on immigration, affirmative action and yes, the sanctions on russia >> the rundown on the side, these are the headline at 6:30, if you'd like to tweet us, use #5at630. let's roll. the raise act ends chain, migration and replaces a new system for receiving a green card. this competitive application process will favor applicants who can speak english, financially support themselves and their families, and

demonstrate skills that will contribute to our economy. the raise act prevents new migrants and immigrants from collecting welfare and be protects u.s. workers from being displaced >> what's sure to be a controversial move. president introduced new legislation to drastically reduce the number of permanent legal immigrants allowed in the united states >> raise act will revamp how green cards are given out by switching them to a metro based system, requires them to english, support themselves and family demonstrate skills and new immigrants and migrants from collecting welfare and presents u.s. workers from being displaced from their job. >> immigration certainly a bill topic. president focused quite a bit on illegal immigration but there was talk about reforming the system as a whole, tom fitzgerald standing by to talk about this and all other top headlines. fitz? >> reporter: this is going to be an early test, jim and shawn of

where the president is really standing with this republic congress. it is no secret the relationship has not been the greatest, especially in the wake of that obamacare repeal and replace failure. this is another arena altogether. this immigration reform not based on family ties, basically based on this measure of what an immigrant would bring to the united states, both economically and a productivity standpoint is already facing some stiff eyebrows on capitol hill. one of those most arch eyebrows day camps from senator lindsey graham, as you know, graham and john mccain for years have been some of the leading voices on the republican side for immigration reform but beaten back by conservatives in their own caucus. is this president, who was already on thin ice with many in his own republican

to somehow now be able to rally the troops, get together a major immigration reform package together, and get that through both the house of representatives and the united states senate when one of the leading voices on immigration reform on the republican side already has very big concerns about that. you heard one of the president say just now that english only is going to be a requirement of this change. it is not clear yet what exactly that means. who would be the determiner of that, and how exactly they would administer that in the process of getting visas or any kind of green cards. so this is a proposal, but it's not quite a policy. it's hard to see right now a lot of republicans rushing to his side on this one besides the two that he had on his side when he announced it. >> what happens next, fitz? what's the next step? >> reporter: well, a step from what we call regular order would

of a bill. one of the problems we seen in the past now with the white house is the fact that they have been proposing ideas, but never really sending up legislation connected to it. it's one of the concerns that has been with john kelly taking over as chief of staff. he's never really been in a position where he's had to craft presentation, get co sponsors on the house. this is a bit in the weeds right now, but if they get past the point where they're proposing ideas and get these two senators, you know, like tom cotton write this into a bill, we can move forward. all we have at this point is an announcement and in the echo chamber we're in, it is starting to echo and not in the white house's favor >> we heard a bit about the president planning on going down the path of revisiting policies on affirmative action in terms of how it pertains to getting into colleges what are we hearing and when will see is he any sort of legislative move on it >> they say the

politics is social security. this might be the third rail but it's close. we're talking about affirmtive action and how people get admitted to colleges. now, this has been a legal fight in this country now for a generation, going back to the alan box u.s. supreme court case. this springs from a story in the "new york times" where the times said it has uncovered documents that the u.s. justice department that the justice department is searching its own ranks for attorneys that are will go and ready to start investigations into colleges across the united states and how they admit people based on their race into colleges. now, there is very clear law in this country about whether or not college quota systems are allowed and how race is allowed to be factored. how people are admitted to colleges. it is not clear from the times reporting, what exact race the justice department is talking about. or what

have any evidence of or whether or not they're going around looking for this right now. as it stands right now, if they do do this, it would address a very big concern of many conservatives, but the courts have let the system of admissions in college campuses across this country go too far and it has favored on one side against the other. expect that this is going to cause a lot of controversy moving forward, at hot button issue on both sides and the people who are opposed to this will tell you the reason that we have the kind of diversity on colege campuses in this country the way we do is because over the past 30, 40 years because the courts intervened and made sure the campuses admit people of all races creeds and colors into college campuses and it's not one demographic group >> the fight is coming, we know, we will be watching, we appreciate you breaking down everything for us today. fox 5 sat dn

stood up with counselor to the president kelly an conway. >> ronica, what did she have to say >> jim and shawn, getting them to sit down that's the next step, we'll get thermometer we did chat with kellyanne conway counselor to the president and one of the issues on my mind, of course, healthcare. the president tweeted several times these threats, if you will to end payments to insurance companies to congress, when it comes to healthcare sub seedies he's calling them bail-outs if they won't get to repeal and replace. take a listen to what kellyanne conway had to say >> he certainly tweeted the bail-outs from insurance companies and the bail-outs for congress, these are things that are not popular to americans and he is also signalling leadership on healthcare issue. we've had governors here just this week, senators, you've had talk of bipartisan coope

something new. we've had not a single democrat come forward >> is he open to that, he is open to that, the democrat party should change its logo to a stop sign. we can't get them to come to the table. we'd like their help. >> reporter: i want to talk you inside the roosevelt room. kellyanne conway was there alongside ivanka trump to an issue you could easily argue is much less controversial but also possibly much less well-kwell-k it's the issue that maryland spouses face in this constant need to move alongside their spouse who is serving and kellyanne conway said this issue is very important to her. >> how do we convince people who aren't military spouses or who don't have a personal experience with military family

feel a connection or commitment to solve this >> there's probably information under load on military spouse employment and under employment, most of americans are probably unaware that the military spouses are having difficult time finding new employment. one big barrier we've heard from the spouses is when they move from state to state, they face whole new credentials and licensing requirements. that ends up being costly's new fees in costing and time and so to the extent that we can work with employers and governors and state legislatures to ease those burdens, we'll be happy to put the full force administration behind it. >> reporter: we also spoke with kellyanne conway about the newest sanctions issued against russia, iran and north korea and of course the shake-ups on

dc.com. he lost his first bid for congress but today he's going to do it all over again seek the democrat nomination that will be left open by congressman john delaney. >> thanks so much for joining us. you know, up until this point, there was a lot of talk or speculation that you might run for montgomery county executive. what, i guess, changed your mind or why this bid for the sixth district and does it have anything to do with the current occupant of the white house? >> it's absolutely a factor. what we have right now in washington is a lot of lack of civil tea inclusive tea, a lot of lies, threats and it's just not the country that we signed up for. >> last time around you ran in a primary where jamie ras kin defeated you. what's going to be the approach this

will you do anything different looking at a different congressional seat or district >> i sure hope not to spend as much. we're going to raise money the old-fashioned way, get out, talk to voters but not going to take any pack money, lobbyist money, no corporate money be we just are not going to set ourselves up to be influenced by anyone other than the voters. >> the other democrats who were expected to jump in this race are career politicians. what makes you stand out or what makes you different from them and what makes you the best person to take over this particular seat? >> we grew up on a family farm that failed. from there, we built two billion dollars plus business, created over 6,000 jobs. and that's a skill set of working with others. working across the board that i think will translate into congress. of we have enough lawyers, insiders. we need fresh blood. i think we can offer that >> i want to say the current

also wealth businessman, people would say there's similarities between you and donald trump. >> we couldn't be more different. it's absolutely like night and day. what he's done in america is frankly embarrassing throughout the world. we buy products from over 80 countries. and we talk to our foreign suppliers and it's just another world. they can't believe it >> before we go, we only have about 30 seconds, this is a district which he ran against john delaney, it was pretty tight. when we're looking at the race you ran looked like a democrat would likely win that general election, it's no the just a primary race, off general election you would have to suit up for after this >> you're right. it's going to be a tough primary, we're going to be out this weekend hitting the five county tour, talking to folks, listening to folks and it will be another race right to the finish line. we're excited, my wife and family are pumped up and ready to go. >>

>> thanks so much for coming in. we appreciate it. he was in and out less than two weeks people are still talking about anthony scaramucci's unceremony ious exit. >> we'll talk about to harvey levin when we come back.

creative use of music coming back >> you were dancing there. i wish people would see that. his surprise reservation nation rattled the white house. tmz has the pulled on this one like they do on many things, harvey levin joining us to talk about this. >> hey, jim, shawn, let us tell you kind of what kind of transpired here. on monday, we had been getting tips from various people that the reason anthony scaramucci went ballistic last week over

white house was about one person at the dinner and that was fox news channel anchor kimberly gill foil. we found out there were rumors going around and i want to stress rumors, that was all we know there was something that might have gone on between kimberly and anthony. and the reason is they had been seen and we started looking at pictures, there were a number of events and dinners they had gone to over the last year, and they were very close. and what we had heard was that scaramucci fell that somebody, namely, priebus, was leaking the dinner because he wanted to fuel the rumor about kimberly and anthony, and that is why he went crazy. we called the white house at 9:28 pacific time on monday. and we said, looking we've heard about this, we're trying to do our r

tell us, you know, wawa do you want to say about it and we called the press office and couldn't get through so we contacted somebody in the west wing and we know that circulated we had sent an e-mail, what came back to us was a statement they're just friends and we got a similar statement from kimberly's people. so we decided, look, we're not going to do that story, because there were rumors, but we couldn't say there was a story there. so we just didn't do it. it turned out less than two hours later, anthony resigns. we are told that one of main reasons he resigned that he was not fired going into monday. we were told he was kind of hanging by a thread. but trump said, looking be professional. don't be, you know, don't be street anthony. educated anthony.

of >> do you think the news that was leaking that they could possibly have some connection was enough to set this whole thing in motion for him to resign? >> kind of, shawn, but a little bit more. when we sent the e-mail, what we're told is they realized, gosh, this is, the first day that kelly comes in as chief of staff, he gets overshadowed by this scandal involving anthony or at least the rumors, that turn into a scandal. we weren't going to do the story, but we're told they just kind of looked at it and said, enough already. and they booted him. but he went into monday still having that job. >> it's crazy. it's -- but then again, nothing really surprises us these days, harvey good seeing you >> it's always fun having you here on our political show. hopefully we can have you back some time.

it is the people's house, what do you think of the white house? president trump is feeling heat after something he said about the white house. >> he reportedly called the white house a dump. the comment featured in golf.com, sports illustrated. he apparently told friends the reason he comes to his course in new jersey is quote the white house is a real dump. the spokesperson denied the president said that. we wanted a take a closer look at the iconic building. mcwilliams condo resale division is here to sell us something, no, he's not here to sell us something. >> first thing is first. i mean, you know, is the white house a dump? >> absolutely not. for me, as a kid, w

here from communist afghanistan with family many moons ago at this point, 1600 pennsylvania avenue has always been so much more than just a prestigious address. for me and my family and so many others like me. the white house has always been this rich enduring symbol of american leadership, of american ideals, and principles, rooted in our notions of democracy and freedom. >> take the emotion out of it and look at it as a real estate professional. >> absolutely. you know, if the -- the gravtas of the white house symbolism and history doesn't sway you if you look at it, just as tangible piece of real estate. it's still pretty darn impressive >> every president comes in and able to put their own little spin on it. so far i think

is about $120,000 in work so far. some of these rooms, this is an old opulance i look at. >> when i look at the white house for purposes of this discussion, we would look at it like any other property, real estate. i always have this discussion with my clients, buyers and sellers alike. what are the most important factors when considering property? you know, it's uniqueness, it's prime location. it is views and light. >> not to mention all the rooms, i believe it has a bowling ally. it's got a basketball court. >> every luxury, amen tea under the sun. >> surprising the kitchen is small. the white house, i know this. why? because i was in it. the white house kitchen is actually surprisingly small. would that have anything to do with it? >> i don't think so.

this kitchen, let's put a little perspective to this. this small kitchen, shawn, can actually entertain up to 130 some odd guests for a sit-down dinner. you can have a cocktail party for up to 1,000 people from this kitchen. it staffs five full-time chefs. 24 hour room service crew. can you imagine? >> the stainless steels are ok? >> certainly, again, when you talk about the history of the people's house, and one of the reasons that i think it has endured is every chief executive, every president put his own twist to it. his own modifications, put in a basketball court, there's putting green, there's a bowling lane. i mean, you've got, again,

amen tea you can imagine >> we look at the grand scheme of things, we have a president who's used to working around gold guilded everything. maybe it is a little bit different, maybe he perceives it as a bit of -- maybe -- take away the emotional value. a little bit less than that >> speaking about value. let's put it in dollars and cents. the most recent appraisal of the white house's value came in at $400 million. that is four times the value of the president's penthouse in trump towers >> there you go. nowhere near a dump, not at all >> i'd take that dump any day of the week >> thanks for coming over. we appreciate it >> back after this. >> not a dump at all.
