a bill floated by senator diane feinstein, that would reunite the family as they wait for their courtearing. this is an issue that the president has put front and center because of this policy, i am hopeful we can get bipartisan solution to reunite the families and move them through the justice system. charles: gail, there is a breaking news out on how much this costing so far trump immigration child detention, $458 million, one specific nonprofit. and they spent over 900 million year-to-date. and i think effort perhaps is there, optics have not worked out, some has been jean -- genuine. having said that, listening to president trump today, seems like he wants to cut out the bureaucratic fixes that congress is so used to, get a solution, how hopeful are you maybe this could happen? >> very hopeful, president trump is a grandfather to many children, he has a caring heart, he is really caring about the children, and their families, at the same time, though this tragic situation has been created by many administrations, republican, democratic and a congress that refuses to either enforce

eventually going to be republican head of the foreign relations committee, and he says that he and diane feinstein have got an agreement from the white house that there will be senate observers in any negotiation so that they get in on the front end to make sure things like verification aren there for if and when there is a deal that the senate is go be asked to approve. i think that -- that's a basic ental. >> you heard the conversations in the state department. what are the final conversations in the final few minutes that president trump is about to sign something that doesn't advance the ball. you could argue that it actually takes it back because it's not as specific as the previous document. what are the conversations about that? >> they'll have to come up with a sequencing plan for verification that is reversibleh the human rights issues. they have to come up with a plan, a framework, a piece of paper that both sides agree to that this is the way we're going to march toward the sequencing forward. >>> up next, the trump administration goes, as we've just been discussing, from trust and veri

and she even got into a little bit of a spat with senator diane feinstein on religion.ome people said that feinstein was looking for a litmus test there. another issue, the second amendment. tom hardiman is on this list. he's not one of the favorites of the federalist society, but donald trump really liked meeting him when he was a runnerup for the gorsuch seat. he has these opinions on second amendment, so that could come up in his hearings. another former kennedy clerk is ray kethledge. he wrote a digit privacy case that just got over turned. and the last one is interesting because he's very close to mitch mcconnell. that might get him over. and if indeed things get really heated in the senate during this contentious time the president could turn to a senator mike lee. it's always easier to get senators through, although mike lee is solidly conservative. all these people have already been vetted. usually when we get a nomination, it takes a while to get them vetted. these have been vetted by the federalist society. they're all solid conservatives. >> the president wan

they were just talking about with patrick, and california, diane feinstein, long time liberal democratic not get her party's endorsement earlier on this year because she was not far enough left for them. richard, what do you think is a danger in that? your challenger doesn't look to be presenting any real problems for her tonight. the party seems to be lurching left in a lot of places. >> i think it's a misnomer to think that political parties in midterm elections have a particular tilt or nontilt. this is not a presidential election where there is one particular leader of the party that determines the platform. indeed, there are 435 different, unique h races, and you have 34 different senate races, and every one of these candidates are running the r differently. they have different districts, different concerns, different issues, and so it's hard to say that the party is moving more to the left or the republican party is moving more to the right. they candidates are adapting to their districts and they are running for their district. dianne feinstein has been a california democrat for a

koi cornyn has a bill, diane feinstein has a bill. they don't have a sense from the white house that they want a targeted approach to this. they have continued to push for a broader approach. at this moment, what the house is doing is purely a partisan effort. there is no effort in the senate right now to match that and no democrats that will support any of the house legislations moving through on the off chance that it actually passes. so where does that leave things? well, the president is is com co the capitol with a lot more questions than answers and a lot more riled lawmakers that are not on his side, john. >> phil mattingly at the white house. phil, appreciate it. rachel bayne with politico, jeff zeleny and anthony pardi withpa. senator hatch sending a message to the president. will this get anywhere? >> about 24 hours ago or so, they were keeping a loose list of republicans speaking out against this. now that list is so long, it's essentially who isn't speaking out against it? so i think the sense that the white house is, you

diane feinstein said she will produce legislation to prevent immigrant children from being separatedthern border. she said it's hard to conceive of a policy more horrific than intentionally separating children from their parents as a form of punishment. these terrible policies call into question whether we are in violation of our own laws and our obligations under international law. what about moral law? the moral law that so many in the trump administration claim to live by, including the president of the united states. the teachings of jesus christ. no one in the trump administration has come forward with a moral justification for what they are willfully doing to children at the southern border. none of the self-proclaimed christians in the trump white house have cited anything jesus christ ever said to justify what they are choosing to do to children every day. of course, no one in government ever needs to cite a religious justification for doing anything, but it would be nice. if they're going to publically violate the teachings of their own religion to just shut up about religio

. >> reporter: in the senate, republican ted cruz and diane feinstein announcing bills to keep families together. the house is expected to vote on two immigration bills on thursday that contain language to address family separations, but the outlook for both bills appears far from certain. well, president trump will meet with house republicans later today about the issue of immigration, but more and more, even republican lawmakers are raising the issue of these separations to the white house and not buying the excuse that president trump cannot do anything about it. alisyn and john. >>> joining us to talk about it, we have david gregory and national reporter at the "washington post" wes. david gregory, homeland security secretary kirsten nielson find the way it is being used as a deterrent offensive, but that is what the explanation has been from jeff sessions and john kelly and beyond. how is it possible they're not on the same script about this? >> i think it is distinctly possible because so controversial within the administration itself. you have a president who is not trying to win

going with us and they never bothered to check it out and once in a while i remember they asked diane feinsteinwhether she found anything and she's as well, no. [laughter] it's almost comical if it is not sad. it's really sad ford. our county but a lot of time and money was wasted. >> host: mr. simon, who is your opinion of donald regan contemporaneously and what is your opinion of him today? >> guest: that's a great question for me because the contemporaneously my opinion was he was a terrible right-wing awful stupid person and then in the middle of the reagan rain or and ministration i was sent to washington dc by universal pictures to write a movie for whoopi goldberg and she has been around for a while , too, about will be as a member of the white tehouse press corps and anyway o i went to washington and i never had a red carpet like that in my life and in the midst of this i was welcomed into the classroom and all of that by reagan's then press representative who was always drinking bourbon in the back. anyway, i wrote on the press plane and i never had seen reagan speak and i went on the

diane feinstein is seeking re-election to the u.s. senate. can't even get the endorsement of the democratic party and its state central committee operation. we are kind of a confused operation because we are so heavily democratic or so heavily independent. the republicans are an endangered species. that won't change because the quality in the bench just isn't there. so don't draw any conclusions about what may happen in california, except in the challenged seated for congress. if, in fact, the five and six seats we are trying to turn from republican to democrat takes place, nancy pelosi will be the new speaker. >> but it is an extraordinary position that the gop finds itself in. that poll that said they're behind independents in terms of registration with voters. when you think about the state of california and the gop, they gave us ronald reagan. they gave us richard nixon. how far that state gop party has collapsed. >> and they gave us earl warren, who literally changed the whole nature of how people of african descent who are now in americ

senate, currently held by democrat diane feinstein who is running for reelection. the primary election. that could mean we will see a democrat running against a democrat or a rn against a republican. democrats are fohold 14 of the house states. 9 of the 14 republican held seats are competitive. hillary clinton won seven of those gop districts in 2016. democrats would need to win those districts to have at shot at retaking the house. joining us now to talk about this is jacob soboroff. he joins us from hunt hadding ton beach, california, in the heart of the state's 48th congressional district. with us here in the newsroom, beth fouhy. welcome to both of you. jacob, what's going on where you are? >> in the 48th ali is the home of dana rohrabacher. he is the long time republican congressman here. he is not only a surfer, but a big supporter of cannabis a supporter of increasing relations with moscow. that's one of the reasons democrats targeted him as one of the most flipible districts in the country. the sanctuary state law that went into effect in january prohibited
