within two weeks senator tillis and i release out our bill. thankfully in our conference senator cornyn is also working through border security to be able to partner with this, at the same time senator cotton and senator perdue are also working on other areas dealing with chain migration, knowing this could be partnered together for a final bill. they are individual titles of a larger proposal. we were bringing those out. in october the president of the united states released a long report that said what he would like to have in the bill with great detail in it saying this is what he expects the bill should look like when it is resolved. now it is october. he said, we have to get this resolved, we have three different bills, the president has released out something, and we want to start negotiation. in november we are in negotiations with a p bipartisan group and -- with a bipartisan group and every day in the bipartisan group the democrats only want to talk about daca. our staffs meet every day, we meet every other day, as members going throu

tillis: thank you, madam president. madam president, i ask unanimous consent -- i ask unanimous consent that i be allowed to enter a colloquy with the gentleman from oklahoma. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. tillis: thank you, madam president. madam president, we're here to talk a little bit about immigration reform and maybe a little bit about the looming government shutdown. i want to start with the government shutdown because it's intrinsically linked with at least some of the arguments being made by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. and what we're trying to do -- it's fairly simple. year trying to fund our service members, we're trying to fund our veterans. we want to get a long-term authorization for the chip program. the chip program actually expired last year but there were sufficient funds on account to continue funding, but they're running out. in states like north carolina and other states, this program is going to start being shut down if we don't get much-needed resources. we're tal

. -- senator tillis. tillis: in a meeting that i thought was productive, we were in a room with about a dozen of us. i do not think the gap is that wide if we sit down and lower the temperatures. what is the distance between the pacific ocean and the gulf coast, the entire miles of border? sec. nielsen: over 2000 miles. sen. tillis: geographically, it is even a bit more? sec. nielsen: it is. sen. tillis: around 2300. when your full plan for the border security is implemented, how much of that will be on a wall versus fences or other structures? sec. nielsen: there is three different infrastructures we talk about, a primary wall, a secondary wall, and infrastructure in the form of access roads or the mobility piece of the mission. the current down payment request a 722 miles, so that his replacement and secondary and new wall. sen. tillis: when this is fully built out, would you ever envision -- think the president said in front of the press that -- he has dispensed with this notion of the monolithic, one-

tillis: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from north carolina. mr. tillis: mr. president, reserving the right to object. i want to go back and talk about the concept of doing our jobs. so loud, i could hear myself. we've done a lot of stuff over the last 12 months. for people to say we haven't done anything, then let's go back and talk about the 12 circuit judges, neil gorsuch on the supreme court, extraordinary regulatory reform, a number of very positive things. i know that your perspective is different based on what side of the aisle you're on, but i'm actually very proud of what we as a congress have accomplished and what this president has accomplished. now -- reserving the right to object. i do object. mr. president, i would like to ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to immediate consideration of calendar 31, h.r. 1301, that the amendment at the desk which provides for the full funding for authorized activities in the national again taition authorization act be considered agreed to, the bill as amended be considered read a third time and passed,

tillis: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, most people watching tv or watching c-span know we're at a very important place here. we're in a position where midnight tomorrow night if congress doesn't act, we shut down the government. and what does shutting down the government mean? it means a lot of things. it means that there are going to be a number of employees that are wondering when they get their next paycheck or whether or not they'll get repaid depending on whether or not we make a decision to pay them for time worked. it means people who have desperately needed services may be wondering where to get those services. for no other reason, if the money is there, is the distraction going to slow down services for a number of people who rely on the federal government for their safety net. the games here that we're planning -- playing in the senate are more important than the work that they're doing to protect the nation and protect our allies. it's going to mean a lot of very negative things that should be avoided

tillis: around 2300. when your full plan for the border security is implemented, how much of that will be on a wall versus fences or other structures? sec. nielsen: and there are three different infrastructures we talk about, a primary wall, a secondary wall, and infrastructure in the form of access roads or the mobility piece of the mission. the current down payment request is 722 miles, so that is replacement and secondary and new wall. sen. tillis: when this is fully built out, would you ever thinkion -- envision -- i the president said in front of the press that he has dispensed with this notion of the monolithic, one-size-fits-all wall? sec. nielsen: yes. sen. tillis: i do not know why people go to campaign promises. both parties tend to have a little bit of a flourish when they are on the stump. it seems to me the president's game, he listened to the people down at the border and determined that the department has a good idea that involves people, technology, and infrastructure. would it be fair to

senator tillis. senator tillis: thank you, mr. chairman. secretary, thank you for being here. i want to go back. in over 10 years since the financial crisis, we have a bipartisan bill that's intended to provide regulatory relief for community banks and regional banks. can you tell me a little bit about why you think that's important and what benefits are ultimately accrued to businesses and customers of those banks? secretary mnuchin: sure. first of all, i believe that too many of the banking assets are held in the large banks, and one of the ways to distribute risk is to allow the smaller banks to continue to grow effectively and not have them burdened by unnecessary regulations. so i think that, one, this accomplishes more diversification in the banking, and i also think lending is very important in terms to growing the economy. and in many cases, the local bank, the community bank, the regional bank has those relationships. they know how to lend and we want to encourage them to lend. senator tillis: do you think people wanting to start up a bank -- we got a very unhealthy,

>> they are senators graham and tillis on the republican side. senators coons and senator whitehouse on this side and as a result of the remarkable report last night. and i think by the way this continued excellence in reporting is another sign that the heroes of this era are the free press and the independent judiciary. but significantly, senator grassley indicated he was open to considering this legislation as well. >> here is the thing. it seems that some republicans have moved in the opposite direction. thom tillis is a co-sponsor a piece in the daily beast saying he said this is isn't urgent even after news trump tired to fire multer and he is backing off and it won't pass. but i can't help but notice we've been talking about this legislation on this program for several months now with no seeming urgency from mitch mcconnell to bring it up for a vote. >> that is very true, chris. you're right. and i'm disappointed -- in my republican colleagues who have failed to sense the urgency of this legislation. and who have been silent over the last 2

tillis is backing away from legislation to try to shield mueller, do we know why? >> his claims that tooimz too z tooimz -- "new york times." it is clear there is a continued threat of firing, and tillis needs to get back on board with legislation that he helped to write. >> allan arepublicans control the house and senate right now. are democrats wasting their time with this effort? >> this is political. entirely. they don't control as you pointed out in the chamber, they can make a huge issue over tillis and graham, two who helped to write the protect mueller bills. what do they say you no? continue to back away. it is a key thing for democrats. >> charlie denlt told a colleague of ouyours, quote -- >> could the amped up attacks back fire? >> a lot of republicans on capitol hill, as this investigation continued, many of them want to see this investigation reach a conclusion. for bob mueller's team reach a conclusion, for all of the facts to be presented. on the flip side of that look, democrats are trying to continue to make sure that this is a fair investigation,

cotton, lankford and grassley and senator tillis of north carolina and a separate meeting with joe manchin, a senator from west virginia and doug jones from alabama. the first time the president has met with senator jones. they are taken to be moderates on the democratic side. people the president believes he can work with. the white house says there has been progress in negotiations over daca. there has been a realization on the part of the democrats that they need to provide more money for construction of the wall and that at the same time the white house is willing to give a little bit on the number of actual daca recipients there might be out there. melissa, the current number that folks are working with is 690,000. the democrats contend there could be as many as two million because a lot of daca -- potential daca recipients haven't come out of the shadows. the white house indicating that two million number may be a little on the high side but willing to go up from the number of 690,000. >> melissa: the truth is nobody really knows and we won't know until we do something about it.

senator tillis: thank you for bringing us all together. in september when you made the announcement about daca, i said you have given a tremendous gift to the american people. it has been 20 years since we have had a vote on immigration that has passed and become a law. issues are emotional, but there has been no deadline. they work on it for a while and they drop it. you gave us a deadline, setting that for march the first is a tremendous gift to get that done. thanks for engagement on this. i agree on daca and for those kids, we have to find a legislative solution, but we have to deal with every other issue as well or we will keep having daca votes every 10 years. thank you for the new leadership at dhs as well, and looking forward. pres. trump: james lankford has been a tremendous help not only on what we does past, but -- thank you for your support, fantastic. i can say that for all the men and people in this room, they have been fantastic. john, you have, we can't even call you the whip, you have been more than a whip, you have been s

tom tillis is a cois spencer. he says his bill isn't urgent even after news trump tried to fire mueller. he's seeksly backing off it. it's not going to pass. we've been talking about this legislation on this program for several months now with no seeming urgency from say the majority leader mitch mcconnell to bring it up for a vote. >> that's very true, chris. you're right. i'm disappointed in a number of my republican colleagues who obviously have failed to sense the urgency of this legislation and who obviously have been silent over the last 24 hours after this extraordinary chilling, stunning, deeply scary report about the president acting, not just thinking, but acting to fire the special counsel. i am hoping that senator grassley's statement that he's open to considering this legislation and that there should be no firing will prompt others to follow his lead. >> senator richard blumenthal, thanks for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> for more on the fallout from this, i'm joined by richard painter ethics l

we'll ask one of the senators in that meeting, republican thom till list li tillis in his live appearance on this show in a minute. >>> and one of his colleagues on the judiciary committee igniting a firestorm. dropping a key transcript related to the russia investigation. even as democrats today warn we are not more protected from russian election interference than we were before. what that means for the midterms now just two months out from the first primaries. >>> to say we have a lot to get to today is an understatement, but we do. i want to start with kasie hunt on capitol hill to talk immigration. and kasie, lawmakers meet again today to talk about this. jeff flake seems to be feeling optimist you can. you've got the phase one dealing with dreamers and daca and something comprehensive down the road. what is the expectation out of today? >> reporter: well, hallie, as you note in the top of your remarks, that meeting was remarkable. i would say that was an understatement. and i think that there is still some grabmenting going on with exactly what it all means. i think there's a couple

tillis: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from north carolina. mr. tillis: mr. president, reserving the right to object. i want to go back and talk about the concept of doing our jobs. so loud, i could hear myself. we've done a lot of stuff over the last 12 months. for people to say we haven't done anything, then let's go back and talk about the 12 circuit judges, neil gorsuch on the supreme court, extraordinary regulatory reform, a number of very positive things. i know that your perspective is different based on what side of the aisle you're on, but i'm actually very proud of what we as a congress have accomplished and what this president has accomplished. now -- reserving the right to object. i do object. mr. president, i would like to ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to immediate consideration of calendar 31, h.r. 1301, that the amendment at the desk which provides for the full funding for authorized activities in the national again taition authorization act be considered agreed to, the bill as amended be considered read a third time and passed,

senator thom tillis, that is bold. we will see if it happens. from the great state of north carolina, thank you. >> harris: we are talking about getting that daca deal done. our hopes fading, chances for a government shutdown growing. is that what's happening? both political parties think they can win the fight by blaming the other side. the president tweeted this... democratic senator patrick leahy says the buck stops with the president. watch. >> the only way you allow a government shutdown is on trump. if even humiliated the united states, i had amazed he'd want to humiliate himself that way. >> harris: rachel, great to see you. i see moving ball at this point. the comments going back and forth but did you just listen or watch tom tillis, and he said let's fly up here and get the issues done. can they? >> i don't think they can get a daca deal by friday, at least that's what i'm hearing from both sides of the aisle. by march perhaps. the question on capitol hill is can they buy a few more weeks to negotiate on daca in a long-term budget deal.

and republican senator tom tillis, who previously co-sponsored a bill to protect mueller is now backing off on his effort. telling the "daily beast," the bill is no longer urgent. here are key democrats who sit on the congressional russia panel on msnbc last night. >> the president has to be sent a message that there will be a firestorm, that republicans and democrats will join together in the kind of reaction that followed the saturday night massacre. >> why are so many people threatening to resign? because there's a pattern of obstruction of justice, donald trump tried to get michael flynn's investigation dropped. he then fired the fbi director. he then tried to fire the deputy fbi director and then he tried to get his own attorney general to resign and now we know he tried to get special counsel robert mueller fired. this is a pattern. >> the fact that the president wanted 0 so bedly to get rid of jeff sessions, and why? because jeff sessions recused himself. why did that bother the president? because it led to the appointment of bob mueller. >> with us, nbc white house correspondent

senator still assembling for -- along with -- i want to thank chairman grassley along with senator tillis. our current immigration system fails americans. chain migration is a total disaster which threatens our security and our economy and provides a gateway for terrorism. likewise, the visa lottery is bad for our economy and bad for security. you saw that recently in new york along the west side highway. we need a physical border wall. we will have a wall. remember that. we will have a wall. keep deadly drug dealers and criminal cartels. mexico is having a tremendous problem with crime and we want to keep it out of our country. we need to make sure our immigration offices have the tools and authorities they desperately deserve and need to save and protect american lives . even the border patrol agents, use our recently, a couple of them killed. an incredible job. these are incredible people. they were with me right from the beginning and they love what we are doing. that is why our position has been clear from the beginning. any legislation on daca must secure the border with a wall and

i want to thank chairman grassley, along with senators tillis and langford, cornyn, cotton and graham for being here today. these are great people, they have become friends of mine and they love this country. i also want to acknowledge senator perdue's likewise a terrific person, who's become a very close friend of mine and he'll be briefed as to what's happening. our current immigration system fails americans, chain migration is a total disaster, which threatens our security and our economy and provides a gateway for terrorism. likewise, the visa lottery is bad for our economy and very bad for security. you saw that recently in new york along the west side highway. we need a physical border wall, we're going to have a wall. remember that. we're going to have a wall. to keep out deadly drug dealers, dangerous traffickers and violent criminal cartels. mexico's having a tremendous problem with crime and we want to keep it out of our country. we need to ensure our immigration officers finally have the resources, tools and authorities that they desperately deserve and need to save and pro

on one hand, you have the two co-sponsors of these bills, lindsey graham, as well as tom tillis, and on the other, you have people like mitch mcconnell who back in august when these bills were first introduced said it simply wasn't a priority for republicans. and back then, rumors were swirling that robert mueller was going to be fired by president trump. when there was assurances made by the white house and others in the administration there was no such plan in place, the push died down. in light of this new "new york times" reporting, democrats are picking up the push yet again. here's senator mark warner, the highest ranking democrat on the senate intelligence committee, making the case. >> i think if the president had gone through with this or tried to go through with it on a ongoing basis, we're into a real question of the fundamentals of our democracy. are we still going to be a don't whe a country where rule of law pervades and no one, even the president, is above the law. my hope will become next week the congress will take up bipartisan legislation that was around last year

grassley: senator tillis. sen. tillis: in a meeting that i thought was productive, we were in a room with about a dozen of us. i do not think the gap is that wide if we sit down and lower the temperatures. what is the distance between the pacific ocean and the gulf coast, the entire miles of border? sec. nielsen: over 2000 miles. sen. tillis: geographically, it is even a bit more? sec. nielsen: it is. sen. tillis: around 2300. when your full plan for the border security is implemented, how much of that will be on a wall versus fences or other structures? sec. nielsen: there is three different infrastructures we talk about, a primary wall, a secondary wall, and infrastructure in the form of access roads or the mobility piece of the mission. the current down payment request a 722 miles, so that his -- request is 722 miles, so that is replacement and secondary and new wall. sen. tillis: when this is fully built out, would you ever envision -- things the president said in front of the press that he has dispensed with t

democrats strike a deal that includes the president's promised border wall i'll talk to a senator tom tilli s as we look ahead on sunday morning futures right now . and now this. this week, the house intelligence committee will finally get access to justice department documents regarding the russia investigation. congressman defer an nunes the committee's chairman wishing a deal with deputy attorney general rod rosenstein to let the panel review documents in un rediagnosed form as lawmakers try to determine whether anybody tried to use the unverified trump dossier to launch a probe about russia and wire tap the trump campaign. rosenstein has also agreed to turnover all e-mails sent between fbi agent peter strzok and fbi lawyer lisa page by this thursday. strzok and page exchanged anti- trump text messages during the presidential campaign and talked about needing an insurance policy. should donald trump win the presidency? joining me right now is congressman trey gowdy of south carolina the chairman of the house oversight committee a member of the house judiciary and intel committees. congre

tillis: thank you, madam president. before the chairman leaves the chamber, i want to thank him for his leadership as chairman of the judiciary committee. he's done an extraordinary job of bringing people together to come up with a solution to this problem. now, this is a problem that has existed for years, almost two decades. the first dream act was filed in i believe 2001. it's been some 16 years and they've failed to be able to produce a result. now, think through that. that was through president bush. it was through president obama. it was actually at a time when in 2009, not a single republican vote would have been necessary to pass the dream act. and yet my colleagues on the other side of the aisle couldn't produce a result. so we know we need to do something different. there are things in the dream act that we need to file and put into a bill. in fact, it was instructed in a bill that myself and senator lankford and senator hatch filed called the succeed act. it's a way to provide certainty for the daca populatio

and senator tillis. i think we would all like to dealde with the daca issue. but there is some serious problems with legal immigration. and this is a big enough issue to warrant being discussed all by itself without being shoehorn ed in to a bill full of real emergencies. because there is no real emergency in the immigration area. we h have until march to deal wh it. so make no mistake about it, we are where f we are for one reasn and one reason only, within a day of a government shutdown. and that is the insistence of our friend onea the other side that we deal with

i see senator cotton back here and senator tillis. i think we'd all like to deal with the daca issue. but there are some serious problems with legal immigration. and this is a big enough issue to warrant being discussed all by itself without being sho shoehorned into a bill full of legal emergencies, because there is no real emergency in the immigration area. we have until march to deal with it. so make no mistake about it, we are where we are for one reason and one reason onlying within a day of a government shut -- and one reason only, within a day of a government shut down -- and that the insistence of our friends on the other side that we deal with this nonemergency right now because they were unwilling to close out all of these other issues we've been discussing, ad nauseam, literally for months. the presiding officer: the assistant majority leader. mr. cornyn: mr. president, i appreciate the majority leader clarifying for us what this is all about and actually i have to thank the democratic leader for clarifying that this is rea

tillis: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i'm here today to talk about the vote we'll be taking up later this afternoon. it's the pain-capable unborn protection act. we'll be considering it later today. i want to thank senator graham and my fellow cosponsors on the bill. i think it's a very important bill and i think it's a balanced bill, a bill that has the support of the vast majority of the american citizens, and it would put us consistent with all but only seven other nations in terms of restricting an abortion to a limited number of exceptions after 20 weeks. those exceptions are the threat of the life to the mother, someone who may have been raped or someone who has been the victim of incest. this is a balanced bill. it's a bill that most of the world population agrees -- or it's a policy that most of the world population agrees should be in place. and i think it's our job to make sure that with medical science today suggesting after 20 weeks that an unborn child can experience pain, that we should have this

. >> we have people with expertise, thom tillis, a lot of good people, james lankford. a lot of people with knowledge are in this group. so i think we can find a pathway forward. i really do. >> sreenivasan: republican senator lindsey graham defended the proposed $25 billion trust fund for border security. >> you don't need $25 billion for a wall. you need wall systems. you need roads, you need redundancy. you need to fix old fencing. we're not going to build a 1,900-mile wall, but $25 billion can be spent wisely. >> sreenivasan: senator graham also weighed in on another hot topic on capitol hill: last week's "new york times" report that president trump tried to fire special counsel robert mueller last june. graham said he doesn't know whether the story is true or not, but would pass legislation that would protect mr. mueller from being fired. fellow republican senator susan collins of maine, also expressed confidence in mueller to complete the russia investigation and also supported bills that would protect him from being fired. >> there are some constitutional issues

. >> i know you're concluding your thoughts there, north carolina, thom tillis, the republican from the carolinas there. a day before these reports came out, ty cobb was pushing back after the president told reporters, hey, i'm looking forward to testifying with mueller's team, i'm going to do this under oath. so the likely scenario is what, that the president talks to mueller under oath, and if he doesn't do that, what are the other options? >> there are a lot of options, alex, here, that's what makes these negotiations so sensitive. there's a question of, does he testify under oath, does he testify not under oath and just sort of speak with the special counsel and just have a conversation with him, that might lead down the road to under oath testimony, does he answer questions in writing, you know, there's a lot of different options. and this is what -- and every one of them, frankly, is dangerous for donald trump, in any way talking about this, because as we've seen, he's so unpredictable, and you don't know what he's going to go in and say. when he first fired james comey, it was fo

tillis: thank you, most pee watching tv or watching c-span know we're at a very important place here. we're in a position where midnight tomorrow night if congress doesn't act, we shut down the government. and what does shutting down the government mean? it means a lot of things. it means that there are going to be a number of employees that are wondering when they get their next paycheck or whether or not they'll get repaid depending on whether or not we make a decision to pay them for time worked. it means people who have desperately needed services may be wondering where to get those services. for no other reason, if the money is there, is the distraction going to slow down services for a number of people who rely on the federal government for their safety net. the games here that we're planning -- playing in the senate are more important than the work that they're doing to protect the nation and protect our allies. it's going to mean a lot of very negative things that should be avoided. i'm going to talk a little bit about it. what i first want to do is just summarize what we're t

these two bills both have republican cosponsors, lindsey graham and tom tillis. but mitch mcconnell has said this isn't a priority for the senate. it will be interesting to see how far democrats can get with this. they cannot pass anything without republican support. >> all right. thank you. we now know robert mueller is looking into obstruction of justice. here are some of the president's actions he may be considering. it's a long list, but bear with me. you will recall the former fbi director james comey testified the president asked him for loyalty back in jan of last year. when comey didn't stop his investigation, the washington post claims the president turned to his top intelligence officials and asked them if they could stop comey from investigating flynn. that was in march. two months later the president fired comey. he went on to brag about it to top russian officials saying it, quote, relieved great pressure. we now know in june the president tried to fire robert mueller but backed off after the white house counsel threatened to resign. in the month tha
